Thanks done
Which city do you prefer? I think NY > Seattle personally
What are you personal preference? What do you prefer? Which team and work will you enjoy more? Personally I prefer NY than Seattle.
Having worked at both, they are pretty similar in culture. Boomer companies with good WLB and a culture that really cares about their employees with ok TC. Can't really go wrong with either, but yes you will make a bit more because of Seattle CoL. Choose the more interesting product/team. Oh, and if you love NYC, don't go to Seattle, you'll probably hate it with a fiery passion quickly.
What location or company do you think is better for career growth
Probably Microsoft, unless you want to be a team lead at Bloomberg in a couple of years Microsoft has a clear cut promotion track for ICs, at Bloomberg it’s just new grad, senior, then team lead (basically a technical SDM)
In Seattle you’ll need a car, the CoL balances out. Not sure how people figure that one big expense
Which level at Microsoft? Did they increase your TC to match bloomberg ?

The end of Backdoor Roth?!
BB is senior software engineer role? Money wise, MS offer seems better because of col and taxes. But if I were you, I'd pick one based on nature of work and the team because they are comparable offers
Yes Bloomberg is senior software engineering
