I have a compensation call with Microsoft tomorrow for a cloud solution architect role and need help. I have 20+ years in the game in and out of consulting, but haven't climbed the ladder as well as I had hoped. What are some things to consider for TC discussion? At 205K TC currently..

This is prior to offer. Since I'm unfamiliar with MSFT levels and most TC packages, wanted to try to inform self. I only have experience with salary and bonus discussions.

Following... as I just finished my loop interviews last week and waiting for next steps.

OP - did you get the offer yet or is this prior to offer?

I had a similar call today, where I clearly said I won’t join unless L65, so they asked what comp #s I am looking for .

H1-B transfer question

I recently accepted an offer to join a company (A) . They started my H1-B transfer and I received today the approval notice for the transfer.

However, I accepted last week a (better) offer at another company (B) and they will start soon my H1-B transfer.

I attend to tell company (A) on Monday that I will not be joining them. Will there be any issue with company B filing for a H1-B transfer soon?
