Banging my head! Suggestions please! Expedia - I hated my team and so I started exporing opportunities outside. I interviewed with MS and got an offer, at the same time I shifted by team here at Expedia. Now I love my team and the work I am doing (customer facing stuff). Doing leadership stuff (mostly Designing, its just 2-3 months so don't know about my future). Not too stressful. Leading epics and driving new initiatives. Everything I work on is open source. On my path to leadership (Got promoted to SDEII last year still long way to be a manager I guess). I always wanted to work on data and that is finally happening here (after 4 years at expedia). Flexible to pursue my passion (Closer to my dance sessions) Comp: 105K base + peanuts of stock (~1000$) MS - I don’t like the team or the work(It’s fully infrastructure, I am assuming stuff even before joining though). I don’t like c# :(. Other than the language, the framework and tools are all MS based so I will be cut out from new tools and tech. I need to start fresh with team and have to go up more levels before I head to leadership path. Heard the work is too stressful. My commute will be bad if I have to come all the way to downtown for Dance from redmond. Only good thing, good pay! But is it easy to switch teams without having pain at MS? Comp: 135K + 30K (2 years) + 40K(stock) 4 years
Summarize your predicament to your management emphasizing your current happiness and make it only about financial upside. This is especially possible if you have new responsibilities such as having a baby, because noone could criticize your wanting to provide more financially to your family.
Stocks seem very less at Microsoft
Msft benefits can easily add another 10k to the TC. Msft 401k matching is $8k in itself.
Microsoft without a question
Is OP trolling?
What's OP?
Yeah he’s trolling for sure. :)
Just go to Microsoft
Microsoft.
What team at Expedia?
Microsoft then boomerang back for Manager role at Expedia.
Doesn't MS use new tools? Don't they also use git? Hmm
I would wait for MS people to answer this :|
