Rest typical Microsoft benefits like Relocation, Cab service, etc.
I asked the recruiter if there is any room for negotiation she said no. I also asked for Joining Bonus, she said she'll look into it.

Current Company: Adobe
YOE - 4.7
Current Comp:-
- Base - 15,00,000.(excluding employer PF)

I know that I'm getting lowballed here but I can't say anything else as Its almost a 100% bump from my current base. How should I prcoeeed ? I expected atleast 30 base excluding PF.
