Is it just me or is that a really strong sde 2 offer from MSFT, especially for Atlanta?

Microsoft anon8D Oct 25, 2021

That was my thought, I didn’t see any offers like that for SDE 2

I am in Seattle and I get less than that lol

If you have accepted the offer already and they’ve initiated your H1 transfer, you are going to develop friction by asking for more at this point. The signal you’ll be giving off is you aren’t trustworthy. Play it carefully, you’ll have to emphasize why this counter is what’s causing this, ultimately if it is not that big of a difference ask yourself are the risks worth it?

Yeah then after that negotiate with Tesla to match new Microsoft offer. Rinse and repeat :)

Tesla abcd81 OP Oct 25, 2021

Yesss lol 😆

Nobody can promise you promotion at MSFT. They already have pipeline of people and promotion to senior can take up to 2 years.

Tesla abcd81 OP Oct 25, 2021

Totally agree

Tesla haasbass Oct 25, 2021

Is that yearly stocks?

Fidelity Investments Onh1bleash Oct 26, 2021

Yes could you put yearly stock at both places ?

Tesla abcd81 OP Oct 26, 2021
