I would like to know the proper comparison between two companies Microsoft @ Redmond L62 and PayPal SE3 at Sanjose. Which one is better from careerwise and also compensation wise. Offer sde2 Seattle 145k 120k 40k sign on + relocation. PayPal San Jose 155k 80k stock for three years 20 k sign-on (initial offer) PayPal closer to the place I live. Current TC 150K
MS
Mention the offer details. Just like this everyone will say msft unless PayPal is paying like crazy shit
Updated not a big difference
paypal is worse than oracle , I am an ex paypal employee
Ok I am ex Oracle employee :p
MSFT. PayPal is an Indian sweatshop.
Fuck off we're full in Redmond, traffic is shit and there are no house.
I am more worried about the weather..
BTW what team are you in??
Both suck
For what team at PayPal?
Yoe?
8 yoe
What team at MSFT?
Azure AI Experimentation
That sounds like a great team, probably very good for career growth. Azure is Microsoft’s new cash cow (good to be in growth revenue center at a company), and AI is either a buzzword or the NextBigThing, either way it’s a good career move. Microsoft is better than people give them credit for, and I haven’t heard many good things about working at PayPal recently. Only downside is moving to Seattle. I had trouble with the lack of sun personally.
