MS Contract v/s Pinterest Full time

I'm interviewing with several companies right now, and most of them are for full time roles. I have an offer for SWE L4 from Pinterest for around 170K CAD$ base, with 235K USD RSUs over 4 years and variable stock bonus up to max 165K USD. I also have a 12 month contract offer from MS for 100CAD$ / hour paid weekly and it is the actual amount that will arive in my own company account, with potential to get a full time offer at the end of it. The MS offer is looking better to me from the tax point of view and as "true" total compenation. Can someone convince me otherwise? #microsoft #pinterest #contractor #tech

My main interest is in increasing my cashflow income. Until y'all commented, I was thinking that *MS* was the no-brainer here because I'd be losing the minimum to tax since my own corp will be taxed differently compared to me individually.
Because of the taxes here in Canada, the Pinterest role will give me an annual net of approx 105K CAD$ while there'll still be some further taxes to pay for the vested RSUs, I'm thinking.
I don't know the particulars of your situation or Canadian taxes, but picking short term MS cash over the long term value Pinterest will give you seems like a big mistake.
