Bloomberg London vs Microsoft Dublin SWE

I am a new grad. BB is paying ~£25k more per year than MS, after tax. I just feel like MS will open more doors in the future and enable even more pay, hence why I'm leaning towards them. Is my thinking too old-school? Dublin and London have similar COL btw. EDIT: I am a British citizen, no need for visas Gross: BB TC is roughly £85k, MS TC is roughly £60k

Do you need work visa?

no

Dublin has the same rent for shutter flats than London. CoL/salary is much worse there. I'd go to Bloomberg, get a British visa, and then change to some UK tech company if you don't like banks and shit.

You will need to a new working visa every time you change job in the UK

Why you want British visa when you can get EU visa?

msft is a better company but I'll choose London just for quality of life and more future opportunities.

Wow didn’t know MS TC was that low

Their offers are low across Europe. Lower than even banks.

Yes, not exactly sure why….

I don't know anything about BB, but I would go with London over Dublin for future opportunities. London had better opportunities and I am guessing that on average pay is more except maybe at Amazon

Microsoft THgw24 OP Aug 29, 2021

But why does it matter where I work? I have a British passport.

Microsoft THgw24 OP Aug 29, 2021

Does the physical proximity help with opportunities ?
