Microsoft's Mega Paychecks: Staggering Pre-Layoff Salaries Of Managers, Analysts, And Engineers

Several big tech firms laid off workers earlier this year and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) was one of them, cutting 5% of its workforce in mid-January. The company also began slashing compensation offers, and probably for good reason. Data shows Microsoft flashed fat checks in the employees' faces last year.

Microsoft Money: Microsoft doesn't share salary information, but the company is required to disclose offers in work-visa applications submitted to the U.S. Office of Foreign Labor Certification.

In 2022, the Redmond-based tech giant made salary offers ranging from $77,000 to $310,000 before factoring in stock-based compensation, performance rewards and bonuses, according to a Business Insider report.

Here's a look at the base salary ranges Microsoft offered to prospective workers for some of its open positions.
