Thinking of making the jump. Any advice or azure employees that want to offer some feedback?
Azure culture not much better than AWS, TBH. Been there, done that.
I left AWS for Azure. For me it was a great move. It's not for everybody. What role at Azure specifically?
I'm an SDE
AWS and MSFT are pretty much swapping cloud employees lately. Go for it.
I can tell you that there is limited diff between Aws and Azure. So you will feel equally at home or disillusioned. Do yourself a favor and negotiate a good hike by prepping for the graph and algo questions you answered while joining aws.
You won't have much WLB here either
Stay away from azure networking... far away. Storage seems somewhat competent, don't know much about compute.

SQL, depending on the team(with in sql) you can have a good wlb
Any of the core infra teams (Compute/Networking/Storage) are great choices if you're a dev who likes building infrastructure. Networking is basically on par with AWS feature-wise, and ahead on performance (due to a faster FPGA-based programmable NIC for SDN). Compute and Storage are behind on tenant deployment perf and block I/O latencies, respectively, but Compute's working to catch up on that and other feature gaps and Storage is working on leapfrogging on perf and already has a lead on archival storage. In all cases it comes down to finding a great dev mgr and a team that interests you. That can certainly be hit or miss, but your recruiter can help you get in touch with the right team for you usually if you state a preference.

Why are you planning to make the jump? In other words, what are you expecting to get in Azure that you don't in your current job? That will help me and others to answer your question better.
Coz it's Amazon ?
