Just curious what the range will be for sde 2 at microsoft with someone of 10 year experience. Im currently sde 2 at Amazon and my tc is 235k. I plan to switch to Microsoft as i have been here 4 years.
Less than 200K if you only get L61/62
Whats the senior role about? Is it a coding role or more of a design leadership type of role. Like at amazon sde 3 is senior and has less coding but more design and leading team.
Microsoft senior has lot of coding. Having 2-3 senior devs in a single manager team is common. It is more like an experienced SDE 2 who can also take some leadership role as secondary task
You can get around 210k in total excluding sign-on. Get those RSUs bumped up.
Aim for Senior/L63 with ~$250k TC At Microsoft, you have a great WLB.
Here's an offer i saw recently to someone from a fang company. L62, Redmond, 148/180/60. 10% bonus target/11k stock target. That gives you about 235 TC over the 4 years (not incl raises or promos). That doesnt mean that's what every 62 at ms gets, but they will match (or possibly exceed) your current comp if they want you. It's unlikely they will hire you at >= l63 as an sde 2 from Amazon. Expectations are different from sde 2 to sr.
62-63 is not a bucket. 61-62 is and 63-64 is. 63 is a different role from 62. I can tell you as an ms hiring manager for 10+ years, that unless there were some other extenuating circumstances, and sde 2 from Amazon wouldnt even get an interview for a sr job in my org.
Thank u for the response. So i believe as a sde 2 from amazon, ill be translated directly to a l61-62 at msft but the py at in this level varies based on candidate prior experience and what he currently makes. Just curious why wouldnt u consider sde 2 from amazon for a level 63? A sde 2 from Amazon would be a very capable candidate as compared to others.
