Got an offer from Microsoft Redmond Level SDE2 62 Base 145K Stocks 120K over 4 years Signon 15K Bonus - offers says 0 to 20 percent Current TC in Bay Area - Base 126K, stocks 28K per year. Will be promoted to MTS3 in july so might will see some increase in compensation. Don't have a competing offer. YOE 3years in US 2 years India
i think it is pretty good offer
Probs should have held off the interview until the promo cycle, could have negotiated with stronger numbers.
You might be able to squeeze 10-15% more or so in TC and maybe more sign-on, but this is a solid offer and after COL adjustment, much more than you were making in the Bay.
One unrelated questions, do Microsoft has layoff/PIP culture? Like every year low performer are laid off. I am more than average performer here at VMware but don't know intially how I would perform at MS. Work is in same area which is core OS team at MS.
Msft? It's the country club. You can rest and vest for as long as you want. Nobody gets fired
Sign on could go to 40k. I got that for lvl 61 though stocks were lower for me.
Good offer for 3 yoe. Did you have competing offers?
Very good offer
Very good offer
Very decent offer.
Just got a level 62 offer in Redmond. I got slightly higher base by a few thousand, higher sign on by only a few thousand. Your stocks are over double what I was offered. I'd say you're good to go.
What is your YOE?
Base and stocks look good. May be you can ask for little more for signon bonus Overall, it’s a standard Microsoft offer. I would take it
Thanks, Honestly I am happy with this offer and I did some negotiations to reach this point and I don't think I can do more. I will be getting 13K for relocation and since I am a single guy so won't be spending that amount on relocation.
True. A good standard offer in Microsoft.
