Microsoft gives you 15% of your base for a TS, and 20% for SCI. Guaranteed Annually. Lol. Consulting is a joke when it comes to clearance benefits.

AC 1 - Levels.fyi is pretty accurate. Also, there is a spreadsheet for all Microsoft salaries going around. But there is no difference in base between cleared and non-cleared

I tried so hard to apply to MS and never heard back lol

Seriously? Source? Brb quitting and going to Microsoft

AWS gives an adjustment too I believe. G is still 1-2 years behind on classified enclaves but the demand is finally getting us to move quicker.

AWS is between 15k end 45k

I work with the government, clearance is not super hard to come by, but MSFT competent individuals who want to pursue a clearance and jump through hoops to maintain it is difficult to find! Imagine airing all of your dirty laundry to the government from high school all the way to the present just to prove you are not a spy, drug addict, and or financially inept. You have to find a reference for your abroad vacation trips etc. It's a time consuming process and many talented individuals do not want that scrutiny just for a job. This leads to a smaller pool and therefore increased demand and pay for that talent.

The issue is that must roles require a FSP though. Even with those bonuses they still cannot find talent that wants to upgrade.

With or without FSP, you get a bonus. The point here is how MSFT is really paying bonus compared to consulting

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.
