I have ~5 yrs work exp. after MS. I am expecting a L4 offer from Uber in Seattle. According to levels.fyi the offer can be in the range of $250k-$280k. However, I have seen comments on Blind where people have said that $250k is the max L4 offer. Can someone provide some insight on what might be a reasonable number to expect? According to the recruiter, my interview feedback was โvery positiveโ. Present TC: 140k YOE: ~4.5
Level at msft?
I donโt think you can get 280k for l4
What would be a reasonable number to expect?
You'll have base around $150k and RSU around $340k at top of the band. Uber will give you cash sign on for the vests in the next quarter. With a $15k-$30k target bonus per year and a stock refresher of about $50k a year.
What's your level at MSFT Op ? This should be a great jump if you're at 61 / 62. You can easily jump back in at 63 /64 in a year or so.
Recently turned 62
congrats, how was interview process ?
Thank you. Pretty standard- 5 rounds. 2 coding, 1 system design, 1 behavioral, 1 HM - behavioral + technical details of past projects. Coding- LC medium and hard. System design was hard that was the only round in which I performed okay, coding rounds went pretty well.
Were the coding questions directly from LC? Or were they new to you? Also what did you do the prepare for the systems design and what would you have done differently?
Why is your TC so low?
Cuz Microsoft Refreshers are practically non existent.
@snappity nailed it. Plus didnโt know about blind when joined MS so didnโt negotiate much and took what MS offered as is
