Guys I find it questionable with some folks considering Microsoft or Amazon for tier 1 companies. Here is the real poll to help. Amazon employees are treated like hell, but the only reason they stick around was growing stock value, which shall stop. Microsoft isn't even worth talking about because even Ebay pays better than microsoft. Let's come back to reality and pick the true rock 🌟 companies. Forget about FAANG, it's only GF that everyone wants to get selected to.

    Very insecure? Or maybe arrogant? I would work for Microsoft any day if they match my TC. And I wouldn’t want to work at Facebook at all (got a competing offer from them)

      I left Microsoft and came back a few years later and the employee treatment was better than my first stint, not worse.

      Want to get REALLY frustrated, op? I had a competing offer from Google when I did so and I turned it down.

      If you live in the bay, googles tc isn’t even that high comparatively. Probably 40-50k more which is not that much

    OP doesn't speak for Google. MSFT, you're tier 1 in my book.

      My L7 teammate (L6 Google equivalent) pulled 700k last year and he is always humble. I never felt deserved to work with him. google's overall sde quality is higher but it doesn't make YOU better than people in other company.

      OP
      I need to agree with you on this. An average employee works only for a few minutes a day in msft. Rest of the day, they are busy talking about politics, reorgs, preparing for interviews, and so on. So hourly rate is indeed high.
