Hi all - Wanted to see people’s thoughts on the Microsoft offer below. It’s for an L64 solution architect role:
Base - $165K
Sign-On - $25K
On-Hire Stock Award - $100K ($25K each year over 4 years)
Incentive Plan Bonus - 20% target
Security Clearance Bonus - 15% target

- TC: $263K

Overall, seems like an amazing offer with my 7 YOE. Any suggestions on things to ask, negotiate, or clarify? Thanks!

You really shouldn’t include those bonuses in your TC.

Really it’s only 165 + 25k + 33k =223k TC.

Didn't notice that they were including a one time event in their annual bonus

Yeah I don't include 1 time bonuses

If this were a normal year....I would tell you to consider stock growth for total income.

What is the TC?

funny

~$263K

Negotiate for a higher sign on bonus, ask for 53k and say that’s based on your market research.

Do they ask you for sources?

🤯… as a data scientist? Seesh. I had almost enough project and experience to “reach” for data science or analyst roles. Shouldn’t waited for them…

team?
