I don't mean to brag, but my work is way too relaxed. I probably am in the office 30 hours a week but only working for half that time. Frequently have a long lunch, random breaks, and go to the random events around campus. That said I'm not exactly underperforming. Just average I guess. The issue is I'm still young. I'm very happy with my life but I know some people regret "wasting" their 20s at Microsoft. Anybody have experience with this and decided to switch? My team is interesting and I'm learning some stuff, but it all seems so slow.
Ah, how youth is wasted on the young
Chilling too much and earning peanuts!
Yes I have experience. Leave MSFT
Where did you go and for what TC? How did the resulting wlb affect your life?
If you don't feel like you're wasting your life, why do you care what other people think?
Always trying to optimize I guess
Do you mind sharing what team offers such wlb?
This is like the 3rd or 4th time I’ve seen someone from MSFT saying they only work like 20 hours a week. I’m gonna have to keep MSFT in mind for when I want to coast lol. And I’m assuming y’all that are working 15-30 hours/week aren’t in Azure
How long do you work at Capital One? Msft TC ain't bigger than CapOne, unless you work hard and get promo/bonus/SSA.
Msft has to have better TC, don’t y’all get RSUs? We don’t unless we’re director+. And it depends on the team how WLB is I was on a coupe of different teams when I was there but I can tell you I never had a week where I only worked 15 hours lol
Hustle early when you can still afford to make mistakes. Leetcode and move!
Just had this same situation. Left as L62 to L6 at Amazon and wlb is 40hr weeks. TC doubled.

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
