Recieved a non-negotiable offer from MS with 135K(Base)+15K Bonus based on experience. They call it a niche skillset and senior level position and can’t negotiate on the base. They claim it is pretty much standard. I have 10Yrs exp and feel like they’re just low balling... Any suggestions ?
135 seems low, very low. What’s the niche?
That's very low. With 10 years of exp , I have seen crazy salaries in Microsoft.
That's like the salary of a top performing fresher probably.
Very niche skillset in the wrong org perhaps. Everytime you hear non-negotiable, be ready to say no. If they come back to you, wanting to negotiate, you will know your skills were indeed niche
I don’t think they’re lowballing. That’s the market now. Experienced professionals are getting 120-150 - newbie salaries are coming up (75-100k) middle is getting squeezed. Until companies start raising caps that’s the new norm it seems to me
Not at Microsoft for SWEs.
Sounds right where I work, but sounds off in Microsoft if it's a SWE position.
If this is for swe, then no. You're getting seriously low-balled. L5 with 2-3 YoE at Amazon makes more than this.
Whats the level and role? For SWEs in level 63/64 the average is arround mid 200k.
Role?
Low balled , I cannot believe they are paying less than telecom companies
