Yet another post about leaving MSFT
Accepted an offer from FB, leaving in a month. <2 yrs at MSFT already had enough of soul-sucking politics BS, terrible career growth and almost-a-joke comp. Only thing I love is my teammates. Already seen so many motivated and smart ones leaving for a better career. MSFT is hemorrhaging talent, if you ever wonder why so many of its products suck. Leaving in a month so will keep my msft blind account for another month. AMA
Which group, which discipline are you leaving?
AIR, dev
Do you think msft as a whole is bad? Was there any group you thought is relatively well run, or is this a problem with the overall msft culture.
Finding a good team is like navigating through a mine field. Overall speaking AIR is fine, but under this kind of company wide culture, you really can't expect too much
What advice would you give to someone looking to move to MSFT (non tech) to succeed? What do you think you could have done differently if you had started again?
What level and comp(ballpark) did FB offer you?
What's your total work experience, were you college hire @ms?
What was the interview for FB like? Leetcode levels?
What was the comp like?
