Hi everyone, I am in negotiating phase for a Sales Operations Program Manager position at Microsoft. The recruiter and I very briefly discussed my target range which I said was 130 - 140K , she said "very doable" and that's all that I have discussed. I know there is a signing bonus, base salary, and RSU negotiation involved. Anyone here with experience at Microsoft know if I could possibly push them to 150K+ , or should I stick to trying to get as many shares as possible?

What level was mentioned, if any, and where? All numbers posted don't sound out of the realm of what I would think the range for that role is, and Microsoft wouldn't be able/willing to offer you wildly more or less. You've got an uphill road though, you drew your lone in the sand, so you'll need solid reasoning/logic to ask for more salary, and I don't think there's too much left on the table. You should definitely negotiate the sign on stock and cash however you see fit, the yearly stock award and whatever bonus component is already set for your given level and role, and where you land each year is based on performance. I'm exMS btw, I'm not just making this up. ;)

Only $11K, I think it’s my org. I asked for $50K and apparently that was an absurd number. Sales ops must not get as much as other orgs.

Hello!

I am being tapped to translate documents at work. I’ve done spot translation audits, and 1 larger Quality assurance document earlier this year, but was recently contacted about a potential large-scale translation initiative for next year.

Has anyone been compensated for these sorts of projects that would be “out of scope” for their role? How do you go about asking for compensation? Have any of you spun out and created translation service side-gigs?

I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country.
