I like money (who doesn’t), and I like WLB. I need to make a choice between Microsoft and Zoom in next week. TC of Microsoft is 252k (base, rsu and bonus) plus 30k sign on. Not Azure team. TC of Zoom is 365k (base, rsu and bonus) plus 10k sign on. If choosing Zoom, am I waving goodbye to WLB?
Zoom has one main stream of income i.e., their app. Microsoft is much more diversified. Consider the possible growth or fall of either stock prices 1 year down.
There is 110k tc difference, no matter how well MSFT performs I doubt the stock growth alone would close the gap, unless zoom fails big soon.
In the next 1 year the difference would probably not be filled. Zoom as a platform has only one purpose, meetings. Sure they can get into VR etc similar to what fb is aiming for, but it really brings the question of can they sustain the competition in the video conferencing market. Google meet. Ms teams, Cisco webex all can and are coming up with very attractive bundle offers for a plethora of services. How long can zoom survive such heavy competition?
If you over 38, MSFT, else Zoom.
Haha, what’s up with the magical 38 that you have chosen? Not even 37 or 39? 😅
Depends. If you are SWE, most likely yes as you will have to meet with the Chinese & Indian teams
I had my interview with Zoom last week and got to know from the recruiter that the feedback is bit mixed. Any idea how that process works? Do you think, are there any chances of getting an offer? Or is it a complete reject?
