Hi Guys, I am in discussion round for salary and HR asked me for my expectation, i have 17yrs of exp and expected to be in Level 65 but what should be my expecation on salary part. Location : India #tech #microsoft #india #offer
Should be 1.5Cr base
Ohh is it, do you mean to say 1.5 CR inclusive all* ( base + bonus + stocks)
Only Base + PF
L65 base in Microsoft for compa ratio 1 (Midpoint of salary range) is 66LPA. You can get 50k worth of stocks every year except joining stocks. So total offer should be around 1.1 Cr average. You can get higher or lower as well depending upon the last salary. Joining stocks will be additional 1 to 2Cr depending upon your old stocks.
Thank you for this explanation, so if i argue around 70-75 as base is not so far away. So this 1.1 is inclusie of base+bonus+yearly stocks ?? and this one time joining stocks is separate... Also I believe I can ask for signon bonus as well...and I guess that varies for everyone ( but is there any kind of average on that as well)
With Microsoft negotiating on base is hard because of the compa ratios associated with each level. It will be much easier to negotiate the stocks and joining bonus. I joined few years back with lesser base than what I had, but got a lot more in stocks. Also, your negotiating power depends on the other offers you have. I got 1.1 Cr TC as level 63 because of Amazon and Couple other offers. For L65 it can be anywhere between 1 Cr to 1.8 Cr based on how much you can negotiate. On stats max. stocks I've ever seen for L65 offer is 300k. Mostly it's in the 150-250k range, unless you've offers from compete.
My Discussion is on, I will tell my final numbers here once its done, for information for others.
With 17 years experience, you should push for L66
