worth moving from 140K Expedia sde2 to just short of 170K tc Microsoft l60 swe? Both in Seattle yoe 1.5 I find my wlb at Expedia to be excellent and nothing wrong here just asking in terms of career prospects? If I'm living large at Expedia is it still worth to move for a small bump to Microsoft? Can folks chime in with their option? I would appreciate a lot. Microsoft is either bing or azure team ... not so great wlb ... #career #swe #engineering
Move to microsoft, dont just think of it comp wise but learning opportunity wise as well
thank you for your response
Microsoft on your resume will open new doors. If I were in your place, I would move to Microsoft.
have new info in post
I’ve worked at both and I miss EG so much. You’ll never have better WLB.
that's what I'm fearful of ...
You will have unique and interesting challenges at MSFT. You’ll grow technically.
Leave. You will soon become lazy and couch potato with EG. Microsoft you will have many options, even if the team is having bad WLb, you can always switch internally at MSFT.
yes I am getting lazy at Expedia ...
internal transfer at Microsoft is no different from external
Didn't Expedia have layoffs in the start of the pandemic? The business seems risky to be in.
How was your interview experience?? Any tips for prep?
just blind 75 was enough ig what u did to get into eba tbh
leetcode list of last 6 months for MS helps??
Microsoft is more stable, more stressful (but not terrible), more recognized/respected and better career opportunity especially Azure, less so Bing. Expedia's business also has many weaknesses going forward.
thank you for your response
Yeah.. go with Microsoft. No brainer. Try to get L61 though. (L60 is not bad either)
thank you for your response, so you would've moved from excellent wlb at Expedia to bad wlb at Microsoft on the extreme case?

What team/org?
Bing or azure how are these
Both are known for having bad WLB however there are some teams within them that are probably decent. Azure will probably be more interesting work if you care about that
