A friend of mine got an offer from Bing search team. He wants to leave the current team, but heard that Bing search has quite bad wlb and is a bit worried. Hope to get your suggestions. (The offered TC must be lower than his current one due to appreciation of the stock price, the his actual TC is almost 2x the nominal TC and becomes an inaccurate criterion?) #microsoft #bing
Wait Bing is still in use ?
Bing is dead. Even though it now gives pretty good results, it's dead.
A search engine is a cool thing to work on, much better than AWS/Azure/GCP.
Your "Friend's" TC or GTFO
Bing is horrible. Don't join!
Can you elaborate on which aspect?
Poor leadership, wlb, lack of direction and lot of politics. I was with bing and moving out from frustration.
What is bing?
I thought you meant they got an offer from Bing the website lolol Kinda like how Google used to send out coding challenges to some ppl thru their search website Haha
Bing is a really big org. If it’s a team that’s doing ML, I’d say it is worth it because it’s one of the best places to learn these skills. WLB varies across teams but it it Microsoft and won’t be as bad as Amazon and FB
Are you that friend?
If I were him I wouldn’t consider bing. Bad search result, low market share (3.?%), needless to say the mkt share of their vehicles (edge VS chrome).
