Hey guys,
I am focused on growth.

I have close to 1.5 year of experience (1.5 YOE - 1 year and 4-5 months) from a well known company
Here are the final numbers (both in seattle)
1.5 YOE full time experience
Microsoft (L60 - upper-band sde 1)
- Salary: $132K/year
- Stock: $150k/4 years
- 10% target bonus
