Signed my offer, starting soon. Microsoft has a "Young Microsoft FTEs" Facebook group. Is there anything like that for Google employees? Can't find anything with a FB search.

    Young makes it sound like a dating group

      Yeah it used to just be Microsoft FTEs but they changed it. I don't think it's helpful or necessary to add Young to the title and I'm not sure what angle they were going for when they did it. Anyone can enjoy going to a happy hour or on a hike or whatever the "young" people self organize to do

      Easier to use tinder in Redmond, you will get young msfts and won't care about FTE (atleast to shag)

    Congrats! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ Welcome to Google. Nope. Thereโ€™s a reason why some ex-Microsoft folks still hang around the Microsoft FB group. Itโ€™s a special community ๐Ÿ˜Š and even though I donโ€™t work there anymore, itโ€™s nice to keep a pulse on the company.

    I guess the Googley thing for a Googler to do is to create a Facebook group for ex-MSFT at Google ๐Ÿ˜œ

      Thanks! Maybe I will ๐Ÿ˜Š but I didn't want to detract from something if it already existed.

      So how do you find out about happenings, and discuss things like in the MSFT group? (e.g. the LTC tax in WA, fringe benefits, career advice, etc.)

      LTC Tax, fringe benefits - possibly internal group called misc-kir (thereโ€™s internal groups for everything like the DLs at Microsoft)
      Career advice? Thereโ€™s a gmentor mentorship program where you can pair up with a more senior employee to get advice from outside of your org/PA. I used it a couple times as a noogler but have yet to find a more permanent mentor there (havenโ€™t used it in a while).

    There is a big personal finance group which is very active so you if you have any questions related to finance, you can join that.
