Fantastic retirement, 50% matching up to the IRS maximum IIRC

m4, I’m leaving Microsoft and that’s probably the biggest heartache haha. Putting 60k or so into retirement was awesome.

Stock purchase discount, perks +, approx 50% discount on Microsoft products and many more. Awesome culture and amazing people. Honestly best place I have worked at. This place allowed me to value work again and be my authentic self after burning my self out at Deloitte.

That is so awesome to hear. I’m at EY and feeling burnout. What position are you at Microsoft and how was the interview process?

Health, Vision, Dental, Signing Bonus, Vesting Stocks, Target Bonus %

And you don’t pay premiums for you or your dependents on the health, vision or dental. Plus the coverage is some of the best I’ve ever had, with low out of pocket deductibles and copays.

I got Covid in early 2021, and landed in the hospital for 15 days (half in the ICU with constant care) and out of $240k of medical bills stemming from that incident (months of follow up care and specialists), I paid less than $500 out of pocket.
