Hi, I completed my interview with Microsoft for a Solutions Architect level 63 role. They haven't made a final offer yet but they came back saying they will not be able to match my existing compensation. The base salary they mentioned at the start of the process was 70-100K GBP which i think is less.

What is your current salary? Not sure on the salary for solution architects but for level 63, I’d be expecting way beyond 70k. I am level 62 and I am on more than the above. Base salary.
My current base is 125K and a good bonus component (approx 35%). No RSUs. What do you think the base for level 63 could be? What the Recruiter quoted (max 100K) seems to be below my expectation.
Don’t accept anything lower than what you make right now
The link is really useful. Thanks.
how much did you get offered eventually?
Yeah I hope so too
Why they do that? Honestly.. I hope you are able to negotiate! Above 125k because the tax prior to this value in UK will hurt !
Such a shame
