Their Corp strat role severely underpays to market for pre-MBA hires. Friend’s offer was 110k base, 20k RSUs (raised to 25 after negotiation) for the Corp strat manager role (title is manager, but you’re actually an IC). I interviewed for it too. Content seems really cool and seems like a good entry point to Microsoft if you want to stay there though

2 YOE. Their pay is just really low because they hire for a level that’s way too low (L60 for this role). From other large tech companies, you should expect ~130-150k base, 75-120k RSUs vesting over 4 years depending on the company, and most likely a signing bonus between 5-20k too.

What are your thoughts about having to take an iq/personality assessment tests? It seems so outdated to me. I don’t think it predicts how you will truly perform at a job.

I present, interview clients, demo products, and facilitate meetings for a living. So what if I go home and shut down after work? I’m exhausted from speaking all day!

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
