Hey MS folk, I got a disappointing offer for level61, whats considered as a good offer for Level61 given I'm in IT networking field, got certs, bachelor degree and 10 years of experience
Care to share the offer? Other factors like your interview performance and how much budget the position has also come into play.
Not sure how much budget the position has but I'm totally disappointed! Didn't negotiate yet but damn this is Microsoft!!! Base 110k, shares 10k and 10%incentive
Saw the updated. Negotiate and never accept the first offer.
I have edited the post. I currently make way better
I got a much better offer as L61 and much less YOE. Negotiate!
Exactly!!! I want join ms but damn I'm disappointed! Could you please share ur offer so i can set a baseline i also check levels.fyi
I believe 61 is a bit low for 10 years. 62 might be a better level..
I agree! Dont mind l61 as long as I'm getting paid like l62
Yup.
Your initial offer actually looks very similar to MSFT's initial offer for me. I can't disclose too much but my initial TC as L61 hovered around 250k w base 150k
Btw I'm in Redmond!! How come my initial offer is 110 very low and urs u said 150k
O sorry. To clarify, my initial offer looked very similar to yours but I was able to negotiate my base to 150k along with other compensation. Luckily, I had another offer from another FAANG so I was able to use that as a leverage during my negotiation
Also I am not sure if there is a difference in pay bands for SWE vs Networking. I know in Amazon it's the same pay band.
Location?
Seattle
That's 25k short on base and 90k short on stocks
Hey, you wouldn't believe this Microsoft didn't even give me $1000 counter offer period!! They wont chAnge the offer so i declined not interested in low balling shit this is disgusting
There are plenty of opportunities other than Microsoft. So it’s a matter of time.
This is disgusting how cheap they are tells me alot about the hiring manager
Microsoft recruiting doesn't give a shit unless you have a competing offer. Everyone else gets third tier lowballed. I'm sorry dude, you can double it by getting a competing offer
I'm already making good money at amazon doesnt make any sense to be lowballed or accept the offer screw that i wont leave my job for lower money they dont want even match my current salary
Curious how much your TC is at Amazon and level. This will give an idea to other folks in the future.
