How much salary hike do we usually get when you get promoted in Microsoft?
When I had my promo from L62 to L63 , I think it was 8 or 9% but it also depends on your compa ratio
5-7%
Wtf is going on??? Does Microsoft not pay even on sde2 to sde3 promos??? How do they keep talent. Something is missing.
By the logic of most people the salary of msft folks would-be significantly lower than AMZN Google etc
They don’t retain talent.. people flow to FNG.
9%
Why would a promo be that low? My lbl61-62 was over 10%, no bs. I've consistently been a top performer over 4 years though…
Also everyone Microsoft has 2 levels per other company’s 1 level. So ~10% each level is ~21% overall from level to level increase in comp. Bonus % also goes up from 10 to 15 from SDE2 to senior SDE. Stock unfortunately does go up also, from peanuts to slightly more peanuts.
Makes sense.
I believe L62 bonus cap is 20% and L63 is 30%
Usually 6%
Not yearly hike. I am talking about promotion hike.
That’s the promotion hike. Merit increase can be anywhere from 2%-6%. Promotion is usually 6%. Sometimes can go up to 10%
