I got an offer from Microsoft Wsd - browser team .. the offer is 25 % higher than my current total compensation at the startup. Work wise - I am currently working on the latest tech like data platforms at startup. Startup is in San Francisco while MS in Redmond . I am seeing bad reviews for wsd. Is it really that that bad ? How difficult is switching teams within Microsoft? Should I leave the startup for Microsoft WSd-browser team ?
Go to MSFT, jump in 2. 25% higher in Seattle is even more if you consider cost of living in SF. Unless you believe in the Unicorn ๐ฆ In two years MSFT on your resume isnโt gonna hurt.
Thanks for your response. Thoughts on wsd browser team ?
No clue.
Itโs not that great but you can switch if you are a developer
I have a development experience of 6 years .. 5 years from a mobile giant. .
Wsd is not a great org to be in. You will be servicing bugs for legacy browsers like internet explorer and possibly Edge ... You will not learn much and tough to get into a real developer position. Join the actual Edge team instead.
My previous experience includes 5 years with mobile giant .. is it easy to switch to real developer position then ?
Dont join under senior leads especially IDC folks. Not lead material but for green cards they become leads.
Go to MSFT. Also SF is meh.
You wonโt experience a complete dev cycle - feature dev, sprints, etc. and is all about fire-fighting. Earlier, this group was for FOBs and didnโt hire anyone externally. Then, it was a haven during SDET and phone layoffs. In Balmer area, this back-port group was brought to US. They recently setup an office in Ireland and planning to set one in India. I feel that leadership is pushing the group to a low cost area.
