Landed a job with Microsoft Consulting Services. 160k base, $25k signing bonus, and $75k stock. I wanted the base a bit higher but, Microsoft's healthcare plan charges no premium so it's a fair trade

Congrats ! Also they match 50% for 401k to the max 19.5. What’s gonna be your role ? Travel etc ? Is it similar to PFE

OP, employer match doesn't count toward $19500 limit.

There is a total limit including employee and employer contributions - lesser of $58k and 100% of salary.

I have a friend who works at MCS who referred me. They have streamlined things considerably. I had their offer about a week after the interview. Overall the entire process took three weeks, a far cry from the 7mo of my previous Microsoft interview experience

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
