Chose MSFT because their offer was higher (425k versus 375k) and because I felt I could jump to staff somewhere else easier with the title.
MSFT was paying a higher salary and google had more on hire RSUs. I kind of figured the market would correct and the 600k sign on would be less over the next few years. Refreshers would likely mean google would pay more in the long run. Since the target 65 refresher at MSFT is 45k (pathetic)
However, after today, I’m pretty sure googles offer would have been way better since MSFT is down like 12% and google is up from when I would have joined.
What should I have picked?
