Leaked Microsoft pay guidelines reveal salary, hiring bonus, and stock award ranges by level::The guidelines viewed by Insider show ranges for base pay, hiring bonuses, and annual stock awards but vary by role and location.
Paywall, and no complete dump of the ranges?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
It’s unclear how broadly the guidelines apply, or whether they are just for one specific role or business, but the ranges provide a window into how Microsoft thinks about its various level designations.
The lowest was a $42,500 salary, with no hiring bonus and no guaranteed stock award.
There’s also a level 80 for a “technical fellow,” which is typically one of the highest-ranking executives at the company.
In 2022, when the economy was still booming, Microsoft granted an across-the board compensation raise for levels 67 and lower through larger stock grants, in response to growing internal dissatisfaction with compensation compared to competitors, and to stop employees from leaving for better pay, especially to Amazon.
As Insider previously reported, earlier this year, as the economy faltered, Microsoft froze base pay raises and cut its budget for bonuses and stock awards.

Will the level 80 “technical fellow” please stand up?
