Bloomberg new grad max comp
I just got an e-mail from Bloomberg for a new grad phone interview, but I already have an offer from Microsoft: 108k base 120k RSU / 3.5 years 30k signing bonus Even if I can delay my answer for Microsoft long enough, is there a chance that Bloomberg can even match this offer (adjusted to CoL) if I own the whole interview process? NYC is crazy expensive and the value of Bloomberg on a resume is not as good for a tech career, but I like the city and I'd be closer to my family. I'm not familiar with offers outside of the tech companies.
Take MS offer. I got offer from Bloomberg myself but the experience, diversity of projects, benefits and career growth at MS is far better. Moreover, Seattle area is great and the life quality is much better imo. Bloomberg doesn't offer stocks and not even sure about bonus. MS stock refreshers are peanuts but in 3.5 years you can go anywhere else.
Microsoft and don’t look back. You can always find a tech gig near family after 2-3 years there and you have it on your resume.
Pretty sure Bloomberg matches new grad offers (when you tell them about your competing ones).
But they cannot match development opportunity.
I picked Microsoft over Bloomberg. Bloomberg was offering me 130k base. (Class of 2016)
Go to Microsoft
You can get about $150 after a year at Bloomberg. IMO much better than Microsoft.
LOL. To work on some legacy technologies and be stuck with irrelevant industry experience. How many of those who work at Bloomberg had the chance to work at Microsoft? Very few and they made a wrong decision to go with Bloomberg. Plus, I am SDE II with less than 3 years of experience at MS and my total compensation is $190k, living in a state with no income tax, cheaper and has way better quality of life.
150k still seems pretty low after a year, especially considering NYC. With my MS offer, I would make more than 170k the first year at Microsoft, and probably around 145k the second year without salary increase or bonus, with a much lower CoL. My total comp would drop significantly after 3.5 years though because of low stock refresh. For some reason I thought it could be higher because it's in NYC, they have a trading platform and are closer to finance.
Why not just ask them
