Heyo, College new grad w bachelors here nearing offer for SWE at MSFT. Want to know how easy it is to get L60 placement at Microsoft given I did really well in my interviews and have competing offer of TC 204k in the bay. Also, I know some teams hire new grad at L60 automatically, so deets on what teams those are would be neat too 🙂. After reading levels, it seems like Microsoft is decently competitive for new grad salary and I was wondering if people could shed light on L60/New grad top salary band. Based on levels, it seems like below is max new grad w bachelors (for L60). Insight on the true max for these categories would be very helpful (not just me but the rest of the community)! I’m going to ask my recruiter also when the time comes, but I’m asking blind right now because I’ve read a good amount of posts which shows MSFT recruiters saying contradictory information for offers they can give. As such, I’m hoping this post can get some better data. Base: 121k Stock: 155k/4yr Bonus: ??? Seen 25-50k here, idk how it works I’ll update this post as I negotiate and stuff. Update: Negotiated 120k base 40k / yr stock 50k/2 signon Could go higher but then I got Pinterest in the Bay Area for way higher tc soooo yea lmfao #microsoft #level60
If Seattle it's a good offer. If bay, you should go for more base. The stock is good either way.
This isn’t my offer, it’s the avg highest I’ve seen on levels so far based on L60 new grad recent offers. Trying to determine the max I can push for.
Oh I see. I think I got them close to maxing it out for Seattle but had google offer to push for that. I got this 124k base 110k RSU 40k Signon And standard yearly bonus.
Update?
