I am considering to leave soon and almost all of my friends are telling me to go for Microsoft. “You will be paid little less but really good benefits and better wlb” Can someone please elaborate on “good benefits” part? What are some of the benefits you have at microsoft that are really worth considering? 180k 3YoE
No premium insurance for entire family, great 401k match, Microsoft Prime is pretty nice, good employee discount on software (really nice if you're an xbox gamer). Meh discount on hardware, though
Not to nitpick; did you typo “no premium”?
Don’t have to pay a dime to get insurance.
Wlb depends. Most people in my org pulls 60-80 hrs a week
Here is the overview page of benefits: https://careers.microsoft.com/us/en/usbenefits
15 YOE and at Microsoft I make the same as you 185 TC. WLB is good, but some of the teams are basically in maintenance mode with no scope for growth. I'm leaving asap. Benefits are worthless considering the overall pay cut you will take over the years.
How can tc be so low? I see new hire stock is like 150K over 4 years.
Some teams are really slow. It's my mistake to have stuck with the same team for years. Leaving asap.
50% 401k match up to 10,250 I believe 100% company paid medical, dental and vision 1500 in mental, physical and emotional health perks In finance so my WLB is good, I work somewhere between 20-30 hours a week when not planning
