Asking for a friend not on blind: He has an offer for I5 : base 220k + 750k RSU over 4 years + 40k joining bonus. Current TC around 300k+ at Microsoft. Is this a compelling offer to move?
probably try to land a position at an FAAANGTULL company if he’s that valuable?
Sorry, new to blind. What is FAAANGTUL? FB, Amazon, AAPL, (Airbnb?), Netflix, Google, ?, Uber, ?
... and twtr, lyft
Does he write code with his eyes closed ?
Yes take it!
What level at msft?
65
YOE?
10 years
This is way better than a L5 offer at Google or Facebook
working hard for 10 years straight to principal. This guy deserves it.
IC5 is more Google's Staff / Sr. Staff. Surprised 65 got an IC5 offer, honestly. Must have come across really well in the interview.
You can probably double the signing bonus. Rest looks great!
There's definitely some room in the IC5 band, but do you really think he can push it to 1.5M? Also at 10 yoe / Msft 65 they may be thinking "low IC5". I'd still try to negotiate, especially if there are competing offers.
No. I meant the 40k sign-on bonus. Not the 750k RSUs.
What is IC5 ? PMTS?
Principal MTS is 4. 5 is consulting.
We can't answer that, it's totally subjective. If it's worth it to him I'm sure he'll move
