I have an AWS sde2 offer: team : Proserv 180k base, 221k sign on split over 2 yrs - 126k+95k, 85 RSU split over 4 yrs I have a hiring event invitation for sde2 from Microsoft. 1. is it worth interviewing with Microsoft? 2. will Microsoft match AWS offer? Thanks! #amazon #aws #microsoft #faang
Hiring events are notorious for downelveling and/or low balling
MS probably won’t be able to beat the Amazon offer
1. No way msft will match that 2. Amazon can probably go higher if you're in Bay Area/Seattle. Especially if you have competing offers
Why is Microsoft the only company to do hiring events, are they that desperate?
Amazon also does it. I heard they give result the same day. Something called blitz event.
Amazon has hiring events. Oh wow. News to me. Did not know pip boss was doing so
Great offer.
If you’re good in the interview, I saw MS up leveling hugely to match another offer. Think someone with 5-6 yoe getting a Principal… Plus the benefits at MS are way better. Worth trying.
Principal for 5 years of work experience? Must have PhD degree with multiple patents I guess... I haven't seen that in the past 15 years in any of the teams
Principal is the new Senior. It’s been that way in some Azure teams for some time, but now is spreading to more teams.
ProServe SDE2? I think it’s ProServe L5 SA
the team is called customer engineering, its part of proserv , and yes its sde2 not sa
Had an offer from msft hiring day before and it wasn’t even close to AWS’s. Doesn’t hurt to try for it to negotiate, if there’s no deadline rush. Just think of it as free interview practice!
That’s a great offer! 221k sign on is amazing!!! Can you share how did you manage to get that bonus? Any negotiation tips?
i had a competing offer which helped i think.
