Internal Transfer Microsoft - Equity

May 21, 2019 5 Comments

Hi, I have moved from India to Bay area. I did not get any extra equity when i got the transfer as per "company rule". Now the india equity numbers look peanuts to me when i think in dollars and also when i compare to the compensation numbers i see in Blind. Can equity be negotiated during transfer? Of all the guys who have come from India in Microsoft, do you guys not feel hard done by this rule? If there is indeed such rule. My equity component is like 10% of my TC and i it seems it should be more like 40-50% and i feel quitting right now.

  • If you have a h1 visa vote with your feet else just suck it up. Moving from India to US on a L visa puts you in handcuffs and microsoft knows that

      What's the process of moving from L1 to H1B ? Is there any way to switch jobs once on L1?

    • Microsoft and possibly other big companies, are very helpful in this regard and they help you file H1. Mine is also in progress. But my original question intends to ask is how it is fair for an individual to be transferred without the pay being adjusted to new standard of living. This is something i should have thought about but then i did not had blind to know how bad my equity compensation is wrt to what i could get outside
