Received an offer from Microsoft

Hey people


I'm on the verge of receiving an offer from Microsoft for an SDE2 L62 position, despite my roughly 7 years of experience. Would this level be appropriate, or should I consider negotiating for an L63 position? Additionally, could you provide insights into the maximum budget for L62, including base salary, variable pay, and RSUs? My current base salary is close to 50 LPA with no other components. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I interviewed with Microsoft for Sde-2 level role but they are offering L60 to me. Stocks are good since I don’t get Rsus as part if my comp in GS. Should I consider it? Recruiter is not budging for negotiation at all. Base is almost same

I am a 25 yr old male and I come from a very small town in Jharkhand. My dad was a mechanic.

I am their only son. I graduated from a tier 3 college where getting any job was a dream. I worked hard and cleared a 9 LPA job in Pune. Got promoted and got hikes and came to around 13 LPA in around a year’s time. Resigned it for Amazon, BLR at 30 LPA. I joined in Oct 22 and got laid off in Jan 23. When I cleared Amazon, it was moment of pride for me and my parents. For the first time everything looked well and life felt happy and promising. It was just perfect.

After the layoff, life has been full of struggle. It was so difficult to get a job. Somehow got a decent company who would at least hire me without reducing my pay, but had to deal with a pathetic manager, and the culture wasn’t too good. Joined here for ~34 LPA

I finished 1 year in this company this April and I started to interview. Started with a startup, they said they can’t offer that much. Next was MSFT. They took 8 ROUNDS for a SE2 role and they offered me a L60 role and won’t budge at all, for a lower comp. I had to reject. In the meantime, I had already cleared Intuit at 50 LPA and DE Shaw at around 60 LPA. DE Shaw HM told me this role is SDET which the recruiter didn’t mention. Had to reject there. I resigned after I cleared Intuit and expected MSFT to give me an offer and I was sure that whatever comp they’ll offer I’ll take, but didn’t expect them to give me L60 and a comp around 29 LPA.

When Intuit’s joining came close I considered taking my resignation back but my manger bullied me and didn’t take my resignation back.

I got a chance to interview with Apple. It was so close to Intuit’s joining date that I asked Intuit to push it by 3 weeks. After 5 rounds, Apple said they can’t go ahead with my profile because of less experience. 

Folks trust me: All my interviews at MSFT and Apple went very very well.

When I made up my mind to join Intuit, they announced lay offs. My only option is to join.

Feeling like I lost in life

32LPA SDE2

Currently I am working as an SDE - 1(8 base) in gurugram, I received an offer for an automation engineer role from Sprinklr (16.5 base). I am 2023 grad from IIIT and have a good knowledge of DSA and System Design. Some days back I received an SDE-1 offer from a Singapore stealth startup(13 base) but couldn't join them. Now I have this offer, I am still looking to switch to SDE-1 position, but due to the market situation not getting enough interview calls. So is it advisable to join an automation role and look for the SDE roles in parallel? since I believe that sprinklr tag will help me in getting the opportunities but I don't know whether my resume will be shortlisted for the SDE roles if I have an automation role in my resume. Please give your honest opinion and help me to make the decision..

Is it good to switch to an automation role from SDE?

Planning to start prepration for switching to other companies for SDE2, have around 3 yrs of experience now totally.

I am pretty okay in DSA, but still will start from scratch. Any resources or roadmap that can help for SDE2 roles in companies like Microsoft, Google, Walmart or Atlassian, etc. 
Current compensation is 20lpa, looking for around 35lpa in switch.
Any resources or roadmap or your experience will be very helpful, thanks.

I am a 2023 batch passout BE CSE, i worked in Newfold Digital company for 7 months in support  and now I have just joined tech Mahindra as Associate Software Engineer,

I want to know how should i move forward to get a 12lpa package.

I have worked on backed(java) 

Also considering current situation of AI, I would appreciate any comments other fields such as Deep learning or ML

How to get 12lpa sde job?

Hey all, i was thinking of making a switch now after completing 1.5 years roughly (the while process might take 3/4 months roughly as i need to prepare everything from beginning). Was confused between joining an established company vs a startup.

I personally want to join the former as i want to focus on other interests of mine and am fine with less salary but with less stress and working hours.
My friends are suggesting to for the latter as im still a beginner and should focus more on learning.
Im not very passionate about software development but i would say im av+, what would anyone of you would have done?
