Hi folks, Have been working at Azure IDC past couple years and was looking forward to move overseas on reaching L62 say in an year. However, I came to know that for both Msft and Google, they don't bump your stock only the base when relocating overseas. Doesn't that affect TC? Is it possible for me to apply for overseas roles directly from here and get those complete offers with good RSUs? Or will visa always be an issue? Is my only option doing an MS degree for $200k TC? TC: 45 lacs Yoe: 2 #engineering #software #swe #microsoft #amazon #facebook #google #sde
Can you please share the breakup of your tc?

Depending where you coming from that problably will be the worst decision of your live... I’m planning doing the opposite better life for less money...
Could you please elaborate on your decision?
Life in US kinda sucks (tech life I mean), you pretty much get paid a lot but you have to spend a lot to live close to the tech hubs and most of the places are horrible (homeless issues, absurd traffic, long hours...). Not sure if can help much here since this is my personal point of view but I just want to get out of this and do more life than work and US is not the place for this...
Would you mind sharing tc breakup ?
27 cash (base+bonus) rest stocks
Did you join from college? Even considering the stock appreciation, how do you have 18 lakhs stocks for 1 year?
Another dreamer. Just stay in India and be a king with that king of salary. Why do you want to get into green card backlog and slog your life wastefully. Our wait times are 140 years now, such a waste. Don’t get me wrong USA is good but not for Indians. Keep the freedom and create your own business there in India. When you go big and are rich enough buy a green card in America and do whatever you want
It's the work as well tbh. It feels like satellite offices don't get the critical projects. Wouldn't you say US has more opportunities to grow as an engineer?
Yeah but you are already on top of food chain you only have few other Companies which are in same level as MS. The goal from Now would be to create a startup, like see all chinese are going back and building Baidu, Alibaba and ByteDance? India is reaching the same spot now.... so yes opportunities exist but I’m not sure how it will help you unless you want to code for rest of your life
Dude. Even after doing MS there is not a guarantee you will get 200k. 45 lac is a a great salary in india. Look at staying there and progressing by getting MBA. It will take you a life time to get green card if indian.
Come to US, definitely better for long term. Only exception is if you're starting a family, in that case move to US for a few years and then to Canada once your kid needs schooling. The new stock refreshers will be at US levels. So when you move out, you'll also enjoy higher than band TC in new location. Don't listen to naysayers saying you are a slave here. You're only a slave if you obsess over GC. If you're ok with moving out whether your visa expires, it's a no brainer.
regd the stock refresher , isn't the refresher a percentage ? in that case if I your rsu are half of us rsu , then even in us when you get refresher it will be same right ?
Not at FAANG. No idea about others. In India I got total 60 stocks for 4 years and in US I got 75 for two years at 3x value.
Nit: MS degree doesn't cost 200k
Do you know any university where tuition fee is really less ? All I want is to get opt

45 L for 2 Yoe.. These tech firms are paying ridiculously high salaries in India compared to US. Can’t imagine any significant benefit moving out to us
I agree salaries are waaaay better in India. After you make that much money the only problem with India is pollution, there is nothing you can do to solve it and it won’t change in the next 20 years at least. OP I would never leave Hyderabad if I was making 45L with 2 YOE.
Yeah. 45L is near to 250k $ in purchasing power. Without knowing op is already making more than 200k he is aiming for. I don’t know since when companies are giving such high salaries in India. Because most people won’t even have masters in India. I would have never left if this was the case 6 years ago.
