Job Levels & Salary Range at Microsoft Singapore
I am looking for some feedback/assistance from people who are working or have worked at Microsoft. I am currently pursuing an opportunity with them in Singapore. While yet to be made a formal offer, I understand the interviews thus far have progressed well and it is likely that I will be made an offer eventually.
About me: I am an Enterprise Architect with one of the leading IT MNC's based here in India. 17 years of industry experience, I specialise in IT consulting projects for large enterprises across APAC.
I wanted to get folks' feedback on a couple of points
1) Level: The recruiter from MS says I can only expect to be hired at level 61-62. When I mentioned that this sounded too low for my background/experience and that level 63-64 may be a more appropriate fit , I was told that I was misinformed and also that folks joining MS in Singapore (or even APAC region) are asked to join 2 levels below (!?!?), so I would be getting hired in the band 61-62 instead. This sounds like outright baloney to me, but I do want to check with folks who may be familiar with the MS job levels.
2) Salary Range: Can anybody comment on the salary structure for MS Singapore? For e.g., what number of RSU's are offered at 61-61 or 63-64? What is average cash based salary at these levels? Are there any other benefits that I should be aware of?
Many thanks for any inputs,
joe
