Anybody have insight into ballpark salary range for Director level pay at Microsoft in a non-engineering role? I understand there’s probably varying degrees based upon org/function, as well as location. Just assuming Remote work, what would salary/bonus/stocks look like? Or just TC in general?

I have 4 roommates my age and still want to chat with my coworkers. I miss the interaction
Please talk to us, we’re lonely and it helps us to be more comfortable with you
Following. I’m another chatty senior 😂

LOL I’ve definitely had a lot of times where the staff will pivot to continue chatting about random stuff vs getting back to work (when we’re not in crunch mode) so I am guessing they want to chat but I also want to get some anon opinions 😂
Pro
Hmm it doesn’t seem to me that it would make a difference if someone lived at home or didn’t live at home.
Pro
I like quick 1-2 minutes of random discussion. I don’t have much interaction with people my age. My roommate is my husband. We are more cautious then some because we live in a basement apartment and our landlords are in there 80’s. I often just want to get me work done. My office has tons of virtual “fun” gatherings that allow us to interact. Maybe the chatty first years just want to get to know people in the office.

Happy to see all the responses of people who enjoy chatting with their coworkers haha it just makes the day/work so much more enjoyable in my opinion!
Pro
Chat away! We’re all professionals (or should be lol) so the work will get done.
This profession would be miserable without the camaraderie IMO. I’m an introvert so real, genuine camaraderie is something I really value; too much small talk drives me crazy.
please chat with me lol

I chat with all the people I work with. I would do that when we were physically in the office and now remotely too. We spend a lot of time together at work. It’s no fun if we only talk about work the whole time. It’s good to get to know your coworkers as people too!
I love to chat but when it's close to the deadline I just need the information to get projects done. I hope it doesn't come across rude.
Rising Star
Doesn’t come across as rude at all!! When it’s crunch time I also don’t chat unless it’s a defined team dinner or something haha - at that point any chatting eats into your sleeping time lol
I am a senior living at home with parents. Desperately want to find people to talk to but everyone is so quiet and want to just log off.
You can PM me if you want to chat :)
I’m sure people are just lonely and bored working at home and looking for some connection and conversation! 
I’ve found that my staff always wants to chat with me, which is fine with me cause we get along well. I think it’s also because they don’t really know any of the other staff that well since they started remotely, so they haven’t been able to make those friendships with other staff that I had when I started.

Yes!! I love when I talk to my manager because we always chat about life for 10+ mins at the beginning of the conversation. I love wfh but I miss the casual interactions I used to have with my team members that don’t happen now because everything is on the phone. Nothing to do with needing to socialize though - I just like to have personal relationships with my colleagues and know what’s going on in their lives
For me, it depends on the moment. Sometimes I want to chat and sometimes just get the work done. I would love it if you asked before assuming one or the other.

That makes sense! Typically I’ll ask one more social non-work question (like how their weekend was or something) and then if the other person seems to want to continue the conversation beyond that I’m typically happy to unless it’s crunch time but will never force a convo if the other person pivots right from answering the one question to talking about the work question
I’m chatty with my new associate and the other day he literally thanked me for talking to him like a person & about non related work stuff. That he enjoys it a lot. I guess it depends on your relationship with them.
I’m a chatty senior in off season, busy season not so much! The temp we got wanted to discuss the Harry & Meghan interview to get my British perspective but I haven’t even had a chance to watch it!!
Plz share here when you do watch it!
A1 here, please chat away. I always try to make small talk with my team since we’re small but I feel like I’m always initiating the small talk. It’s almost as if WFH is eliminating much of the social aspect I enjoyed when I interned.
I moved to a role where my co-workers are more chatty on calls throughout the day and it’s been so much better than the forced zoom happy hours. I think a majority of people are lonely these days.
100% chat
Chatting takes you away for a minute. It's all work and stress at the moment, and every little helps to keep our mental health.
I’m currently living at home with the parents but I do appreciate the light hearted chat at the start of the meeting. Eventually you have to get to the work but it is nice to chat about non work things (even if you don’t have much to talk about than you normally would)
