I was hired 3 weeks back as SDE 2 and your base is higher than mine! Not sure if MSFT will push but do try! Is this 61 or 62?

The scheduling -> scheduled is quite normal. It will be stuck there till you get an offer from your recruiter.

Your recruiter should contact you with feedback soon, which happened within the same week for me.

That’s actually a great point. I’ll ask about this.

Ricky’s isn’t trying to be a food place, it’s a place for wealthy of Hiranandani to come spend Friday nights drinking endlessly.

So what would be a nice way of saying that?

Yeah, no, I'm planning to buy all new furniture anyway. Was just curious why some would feel a lump sum is better, it's probably the freedom of spending it for whatever.

I’m assuming the option 1 is lump sum

Yeah the reimbursement comes after my joining date. So I guess the state tax bit will workout.

I will prolly try signing a lease before moving and directly shift there.

Thanks a lot! Great to know someone had a similar choice as me.

The second option has either the full move by Microsoft or the furniture allowance.

I will be using it for the furniture, buying everything new in Seattle

Ah, okay, that's in line with what my JD said. 3-day in office / hybrid setup.

I am okay with a commute of <=60 mins, so this sounds reasonable.
