I'm offered an L64 role at Microsoft and it is a bit under my expected range. Any thoughts/insights on compensation for Cloud Solution Architect with 8 years of experience.

Is the RSU yearly or 1 time?

like

Most crucial q. If the rsu is yearly amount it’s a good offer. Else interview with Google/amazon. Fwiw if you crack amazon L6 solution architect the TC will be close to 250

like

Wow so low (not that i have any benchmarks)

Is there any annual bonus?

Which office? That’s about right for what they offer for the DC/Reston office. There should be a yearly bonus as well and a really good clearance bonus of that applies

Can you share details about your experience.. I think it sounds reasonable.. unless it hardcore engineer role, none of these companies pay what we may expect from outside. I got similar numbers from google and we all know how base is low in aws

Seems a little bit low. Where are you based out of?

Would you be part of a team building out their commercialized products or would you be doing work on internal initiatives? No idea if that matters at Microsoft but I’ve seen that it makes a difference elsewhere.

It’s probably client facing.

At 8 YOE, it sounds just about right but could do better on the RSUs. I don’t believe Microsoft is known to pay like the FAANG. So please consider in context of a typical non-FAANG tech company

Can you tell a bit more about the interview process and what did they ask you ? As in system design or coding or just architectures?Planning to apply.

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.
