I joined Amazon as a new grad and worked there for 1 year. Frustrated with my manager and company’s shit culture I decided to move, I interviewed with microsoft and passed the technical screen for Microsoft Azure Compute. Recruiter asked me about my compensation expectation. What numbers can i ask? How do they usually pay people switching from Amazon? Current salary: Base: 110K Bonus: 25K, 20K Stocks: 70K
Why is your company tag VMware if you are a new grad with 1 year experience at amazon?
Intern possibly
Ask them for the salary range for the role. Don’t lowball yourself.
New grads get better offers than industry hires at MSFT. They might lowball you with stock unless you have good AWS experience or multiple offers. Azure will pay top dollar if you have direct cloud experience they want.
Stock is irrelevant since you would have received like half a share. Your TC is 140. Given that you have only one year of experience you'll at best be leveled at 60. So may be a 15% raise from what you're making right now.
