Profile: Masters in CS. 4+yrs of work experience as full time employee. After negotiation, I received the following offer from Microsoft for SDE2 L61 : Base - 140K Joining Bonus - 20k Stocks - 80k for 4 years. Relocation: 13k Whats your thoughts on this offer?
What’s the bonus target?
10%. 15% at 63, 20% at 65 and 30% at 67
Seems about right for 61. Competitive against some 62 offers I've seen
I would ask for more stock.
Best 61 offer I've seen. Sadly there are 59s with more stock but that's a whole different issue.
Ask for more stock. New grad 59s getting $150k/3.5yrs
More stock for sure. I was able to get 200k at L61 2 YoE, but I had strong competing offers.
Hey did you have any experience abroad? Did they consider that?
I have 3 YOE in US.
Do you mind sharing the role that you got offer for?
SDE2
Base seems good for 61. You will always find super interview outliers, but your offer is good.
I would go to Microsoft for half, if I were at Cerner :)
