I was recently verbally offered a job at Microsoft for a Program Manager (non-technical) position. Does anyone have any insight into what the standard offer package is, and whether or not MSFT will negotiate for non-tech roles?

There’s more room to negotiate the sign on bonus and stocks. Little wiggle room on base pay.

Can confirm this. Also most top techs are like this. If you're getting way under what you're hearing, then maybe you can try for a biiit more on base, but that's usually pretty stable. There are standard bands, so they don't really go outside those on the bases.

I would think negotiation is always on the table. The worst they can do is say no.

I don’t know for sure but probably around 150TC

From what I've heard, there's usually a little room to negotiate on the extras. Don't be afraid to ask for what you want.

What level is the role for? And location?

Probably about right. Tech does get to be around $140k though so don't be surprised if it's indeed closer to the 130k.

May i ask what your previous position was?

Yes, I’m an Account Manager. The position at MSFT would be a Sales Program Manager

I'm not sure what level that is exactly, but around $150k sounds right. I've heard of people negotiating non-tech offers with them though so it's always worth a try if the offer isn't quite right for you.

OP said level 62.

Just received 2 offers that I’m weighing, both in Advertising tech:
1. Smaller firm about to be acquired by a larger one, Product Marketing role (title would be Sr. PMM)
2. FAANG, Sales Account Manager role (similar to my current role)
I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!
