Hey all! I need your advice on negotiating salary for a program manager role level 60 at Microsoft. I was thinking

Base salary - $125K
Sign on bonus -$15k
Rsu - Not sure yet
Fixed Bonus - 10%
Performance Bonus and Stock Grant - Not sure yet

I'd focus on negotiating the level more than anything else. Level 60 is associate level. 61 and 62 are standard level and 63 - 64 are senior. The higher the level the more bonus potential comes every year.

Is this what you're trying to negotiate?

Are you asking in preparation for a conversation about pay with them or have they already made an initial offer?

yeah, I think with a higher base, this would be pretty solid

ask for more on the base salary, negotiate your PTO

Fixed Bonus of 10% at that level is limiting your potential. The average person at that level gets 10%. Above average gets more.

The recruiters seem to think it's a non issue but wonder if when it gets to offer stage it becomes a show stopper when partners realize I may not be able to start for 9 months. How do your firms handle these situations?

Tata Consultancy Hi fishies, I recently interviewed for a Big data dev role for Autodesk but it's via a third party called Applicantz. Initially the contract is for 1 year, which can be extended. There is also scope of Autodesk hiring permanently after 6 months or 1 year. Can anyone provide some reviews about Autodesk and third party Applicantz. Usually I would not have considered anything via a third party, but the company(Autodesk) seems great and work discussed seems good as well.
