Microsoft rewards 23
wife got 8% bonus but per manager comment she was high performer How come it is possible ? SDE 62
Level and role? Different levels and roles have different bonus targets.
Added sde 62
Even when I got highest rating I never got above 2.5%. How’s 8% low ?
You are confusing base salary hike with annual cash bonus
I was told to expect 15% as an average performer when I was hired. My target TC is based off that assumption.
Level 63+ target bonus is 15%
10% should be the target bonus for that level
Yeah I know So how come a high performer would get a low reward?!
Because Microsoft.
Target bonus for meets exceptions for level 62 is 10%. Looks like your wife got less than "meets expectations". This is a bad situation to be at.
Could you explain a bit more about “bad situation…” Something would happen?
Op being less than target means underperforming. 80 is not that bad, much better than 60 and 0 but still.
Was she out on leave during that time? What was her stock reward?
No she was not
Stock was also pretty low like 12k
Why is it not possible?
Not consistent with the comments she got in 1:1 s
80% is not good sign for L62. It is OK at higher levels. She should have open communication with manager and seek feedback on what is missing.
Oh really? I’m in the same boat this year. Also hit my cliff this year
Ask for explanation on rewards
Household TC?
Is 8% low? If so, what is more appropriate. At Esri, we get nothing no matter what, so I have no clue myself
I believe that’s very low
