Microsoft: Are linux engineers second class citizens?
From their offer it certainly looks like the case
Yoe: 13 with open source contributions( not marvell)
TC: 300k (Bay Area)
Microsoft offer for L63: 160k/100k 4 yrs vesting/30k
Location: Seattle
This is infact revised offer but I haven’t told them my current yet. But really upset at this offer. I mean yoe, interview performance all means nothing.
Btw, got interview feedback ‘very positive’ after 2 days. Got HM’s email showering all sort of praises for my great interview performance, but then this offer.
And no great WLB, other perks cannot offset this lowball offer.
My majority of interview was behavioral. I was manager in previous job. Have direct reports in current job. Got fair number of LC mediums and got asked painfully deep linux and embedded questions, upto different ISAs and ABIs differences between different archs. What more????
Other Thoughts please!!!
