Microsoft's AI Pay Wars: Show Me the Stock or Shut Up
In the saga of 'How Much Did You Get Paid, Again?' Microsoft employees have turned their raises into a spreadsheet spectacle with over 850 entries, spilling the beans on salary, stock, and bonuses. As Microsoft flings multimillion-dollar offers at Meta’s AI wizards, some workers say their pay lags behind official 'new hire offer' guidelines. According to Business Insider's deep dive, 'Cloud + AI' reigns supreme with an average base pay of $204,135, while Xbox lingers at a modest $168,831. Microsoft refuses comment, proving that pay transparency still feels optional in the corporate circus.
