This is an exploding offer and I do not have any other offers. I do have an Meta onsite coming up for E6 but I am skeptical about their PERM issues.

      In what world msft pays >260k for swe2?
      Also, understand that every doesn’t/can’t work for top paying companies. Instead of being condescending, if you know the pay of master card, help this person out.

      Lol I was a GEM at Microsoft for years. No it isn't. What is this nonsense? $260k would be a top 1% l62 offer.

    That’s blind for you, people shitting on you for making 320k 😅

    OP, not sure this helps but base can go up to 250 in NYC for principal.

    Do you have to move? If not, I’d take it, still go through with META because if you hit E6 and all goes well you’ll be looking at easy 500k+ in TC.

    Maybe you get an offer from Meta before your start date, then you just back out on Mastercard, you’ll burn the bridge but you won’t care making that big $$ at Meta

      Have you talked to the hiring manager or just the recruiter? Sometimes hiring manager can have a different perspective than the recruiter

      Plus they’d take you back later anyways. Before joining Meta another company gave me a strict deadline before deciding and gave me the “final” extension for one additional day - then told me to let them know if I changed my mind and even followed up a couple weeks later.
      The need doesn’t magically go away and you aren’t suddenly unqualified for it

    What is mcol here? Is it stl? Mastercard is usually rock solid for job security

    One of my friend works at MasterCard. He has nothing but good things to say about the company. There is some corporate BS sure. He started 5 years ago after college and is senior now. Job security is great, wlb is team dependent but he said most teams are pretty chill,

    Hello OP, is this the initial offer or did you negotiate to reach this numbers? I have an offer from them, but they said it's the approved and the final one.
