Currently Sr. CS in Adobe India with TC around 80L which is almost equally divided between Fixed and Stocks. Have offer from Amazon and Microsoft Bangalore which are giving similar to 25% hike. Prefer Microsoft over Amazon due to better WBL and fixed increase by 30% but have heard that after the initial RSU which Microsoft is giving around 20% more than current, the annual RSU is peanuts. Am offered L64. In Adobe during my almost 5 years of job, I have been given around 80-110% of my fixed per year in RSU. Fixed salary increase been around 12% per year. In Microsoft India, I have heard RSU is just 20-30% of fixed. Is that correct? If so, after 4-5 years will my salary drop? Or is there some other reason why lot of people from Adobe still join Microsoft. Also what is average annual increment for L64 in Microsoft India?

      Thanks notdone. Yes part reason for good refresher is growing Adobe stock but it has for some time and in the end that can be counted as a benefit of working here. Hence guessing if it would be worth to accept the offer

      Base offered is pretty good, it will take at least 2 more years to reach at that base. If you can crack these two then you can give it a shot at Uber apple Google as well. They may not have refreshers issues that you have pointed out.

    Wow, 100% as stock refreshers is pretty awesome, most of the companies at max offers 25% as far as I know (Qualcomm, Microsoft, Intuit) and few like amazon won't even give refreshers if your tc is already reaching the target.

    My advice will be to pick either Adobe or MS based on culture. You will most likely be able to stay longer. Amazon can provide you a taste of a much more cut throat environment and you will be hardened if you are able to be in Amazon for a few years. The other dimension could be to look at the group and the work where you will join and pick the one where you liked the background of the people and the quality of the work. Any of these companies can match whatever salary you want if they want you and they are all great companies. Congratulations for landing the offers from two more great companies.

    What’s a senior computer scientist? Is it just another name for a senior software engineer?

    @swengine Have you accepted the MS offer. If so, could please shed some light on the MS RSU refreshers.
