I got offers from both companies, and I need help in deciding between both. I don't care about TC, so my criteria are:
1) Easy to get H1B visa and GC (I'm currently F1 student NOT from India/China)
2) Good WLB

Microsoft will be in E+D, idk about Google but both will be in one of the Seattle offices.

TC: 0 (still a student :( )

    Google. You can't do wrong with either but Google > Microsoft as a brand name. Fuck, I hate prestige but it does matter if you are starting your career.

      What about a SWE in Microsoft Research? They productionize ideas and still get to be in patents, papers and close to all the cool action. I think we are on the same page about not being blind to the actual role.

      Yup. 100%. I understand where you are coming from... PhD here and previously a researcher at a national lab.

    Both are good, but unless there's something especially good about the MS offer, I'd go for G without a doubt
