I am a new grad, compensation is higher at MS. At Okta I’ll have a better team and larger impact but what is more important at this stage? Is Microsoft name brand better than Okta? Is team impact more important? What is Okta’s reputation?
Okta
Microsoft 📈
Okta is a successful well run startup. And an acquisition target. But okta by its nature is better off as a standalone company. I can even see it get to a billion in annual revenues. Focus on the actual role and skills/ tech. That should be a higher weight in decision making this early in your career.
As a new grad, I’d pick the job that would allow me to learn and grow the fastest. Your goal should be to build your skill set and show success. Also, heavily favor a good manager.
I think Okta is better for that, but I start at Microsoft Monday so not sure what to do
So you already accepted Microsoft and are considering reneging? That’s a different conversation. Unless you are convinced that Okta is going to be a significantly better opportunity (and maybe it is so give it some real thought), I’d just stick with Microsoft and see how things go
TC or GTFO
Why leaving Uber?
is okta profitable?
Heard they’re doing well
