Does Microsoft currently offer a signing bonus in addition to the perf bonus for a L64 Cloud Solution Architect role? I've ready on a few posts that the standard comp structure is something like: 190k base 15% perf bonus 200k stock but I am not clear on the signing bonus.

Doesn’t MSFT also have some kind of stack ranking that’s not called as such?
I thought AWS pays more for SA? Why move to MS?
The comp is good at AWS/Amazon but the ruthless stack ranking culture is terrible. Looking for a better option even it it means having a marginally reduced income. Microsoft is competitive, just slightly below what AWS offers. In 2022 I had a CSA Security L64 offer that was very close to the AWS L6 numbers but I made the mistake to reject it. In hindsight, it was not a great decision.
Ahh I see. Makes sense. MSFT and AMZN both stocks have good upside as well
