I recently got an offer from Msft - Redmond, WA for SDE role. The numbers are as below: 120k base / 15k sign on/ 25k stocks over 4 yrs. Standard relo - 13k I felt really demotivated by the first offer. Felt like they really lowballed and I will have to work hard on negotiation. M currently SE-G8 at Cisco Raleigh and already have really good compensation compared to this numbers - my base here is about 100k and get 15k yearly bonus easily. I have about 5 yrs (4.5 - 5 yrs) of very relevant industry work ex and have first received YES from multiple msft team and teams shown great interest. Looking levels.fyi Cisco G8 is equivalent to msft Sde2. So what shall i expect best offer for sde2 if i aim to negotiate for sde2
