Shared salary spreadsheet reveals Microsoft employee earnings for a second year

The fact that this includes stock makes it that much more surprising. Microsoft’s stock has grown like 5x in the last four years, (2x over the last two). An offer that was worth $150k when you were hired is probably making you lots more now if there were lots of stock. But apparently the stock awards are like $3k-$10k?

[edit: stock, not stock options]

For anyone other than the absolute top performers, Microsoft's stock grants weren't that great. I left a couple of years ago at L63 with decent reviews and had perhaps 40K of unvested stock total. I went to Google as L4 for a 40% increase in total comp with a similar offer from Facebook. If I had went as L5 the difference would have been even crazier. Stock refreshes have been significantly higher here.

Nice! Do you mind sharing your rough Google offer breakdown?

Not stock options -- actual vested stock grants.
