Google, in 3 years your TC would be much higher than Microsoft- like 30%.

Microsoft zjbG11 Jun 6, 2019

Not really. OP's Google offer isn't swe

Microsoft DCMTED Jun 6, 2019

Yeah, but Microsoft we have no QA and we make SWE do the testing.

Good time to join google their stocks are low.

MS because it’s development

Microsoft OqDv32 Jun 6, 2019

MS. Dev position + that's an insane offer for L62. What's your YOE?

What is SETI?

Microsoft userg7 Jun 6, 2019

[Blind] Check out this post! Google folks, what’s the difference between SWE and Software Engineer Technical Infrastructure (SETI) (Tech Careers) https://us.teamblind.com/s/hqQg13QV SETI is a career dead end.

Microsoft tufhu Jun 6, 2019

Wow. The first time I see that MS offer is much more than GG. Also it seems that the MS offer in Toronto is more than in Vancouver, doesn't it?

Microsoft userg7 Jun 6, 2019

They are for different roles.

Seti is rebranded sdet

Microsoft OtFY46 Jun 6, 2019

Doesn't make sense though. 140k base is high for 62. I would expect 125-130k at the top of comp ratio. Are there any special circumstances? Mind blowing interviews or high YoE?

eBay HIyp45 OP Jun 6, 2019

It’s a US position, need to relocate to NYC office after 2yrs

Microsoft OtFY46 Jun 6, 2019

Ahh. That makes much more sense. It's a good offer. Make sure the team in NYC is good. Haven't heard of many teams there.

eBay Ywert Jun 6, 2019

How many yoe do you have?

Microsoft Dr.Isuwel Jun 6, 2019

Neither, work on your decision making skills and come back when you’re ready, kid.

Microsoft ERlc58 Jun 6, 2019

Imo I wouldn't live in Waterloo personally, esp if you're eventually going to NYC, Toronto fits much better w/ that

eBay HIyp45 OP Jun 6, 2019

Only if I choose microsoft then I’ll move to NYC otherwise I probably stay in Canada.
