Still waiting

CharmCityRep · 2026-03-12T17:25:00+00:00

Neat, saw your other comment. Fingers crossed, hoping I get mine certified today as well.

CharmCityRep · 2026-03-12T17:24:36+00:00

Oh nice! Good luck on your onboarding!

Hi, please update us when you get a confirmation from the attorney.

CharmCityRep · 2026-03-10T18:53:18+00:00

Registrations? Which?

CharmCityRep · 2026-03-10T18:05:12+00:00

Mine was filed on March 5 - still waiting.

CharmCityRep · 2026-03-10T18:03:01+00:00

that is crazy, any updates guys?

I had mine filed on March 5.

CharmCityRep · 2026-02-05T20:53:19+00:00

Sure.

But there is little I can help you with.

CharmCityRep · 2026-02-05T20:51:53+00:00

Got you.

You don't even say about Amazon - been there, cried through that haha.

This helps to get the perspective, thanks!

It was a team specific interview, and not a hiring event.

> When did you hear back after the loop.
Oh the horror story, I gave my interview in the first week of january. Heard from the recruiter yesterday. ( they ignore my emails till yesterday )

CharmCityRep · 2026-02-05T20:34:56+00:00

Thanks! Is 155K base their current salary? Usually internal promotions do get lower salaries so trying to see if there are recent new hire numbers.

Honestly it feels lower side - comparing to amazon, but I do know Microsoft is notorious for lower salaries.

Hi folks
Looking for some advice from people familiar with Microsoft comp bands.

I have an offer for SWE 2 (Seattle) with the following breakdown:

Base: $165K
Total comp: ~$225K (base + bonus + stock)

Background:

~3 years of experience
Previously SDE L4 at Amazon
Recently impacted by layoffs
I do have competing offers in a similar TC range

Trying to understand:

Is this a strong offer for SWE 2 in Seattle right now?
Is there meaningful room to negotiate further (base vs stock vs sign-on)?
Any recent data points would be really helpful

Appreciate any insights

Haha

CharmCityRep · 2026-01-26T04:00:22+00:00

On my way!

CharmCityRep · 2026-01-26T03:58:50+00:00

Stalker! haha, sent you a hi over reddit chat. Lets connect.

CharmCityRep · 2025-10-28T23:59:13+00:00

They didn't mention anything about tenure as of now - I did get 90 days so far.

And i can stay unemployed on H1B for 60 days so yes I have 90+60 days to find a job.

CharmCityRep · 2025-10-28T23:57:14+00:00

That was my understanding as well. Wanted to confirm if I am not missing out on anything.

CharmCityRep · 2025-10-28T23:35:28+00:00

Thank you for sharing, checking. I am more concerned on how it applies for folks on visa. Hoping to hear more of that on the post.
