Is that not being a HQ have high chances of OK WLB? I am reading so many post in blind, saying that the WLB is miserable AND internal move policy sucks. Not sure about career growth tho. In this post, I am just looking for Seattle/Bellevue location WLB only. Thanks for the input and votes. Yoe: 7 TC: 175k #facebook
Looking at this poll makes me feel better.
Bellevue is smaller but it has a bunch of growth planned. Either office is fine honestly, if you are eng it's better to be seated near eng teams in Bellevue. Wlb is better than mpk simply because it's less frantic but mpk is really nice if you figure out all the secrets to avoid the congestion there. Bay Area COL sorta sucks.
I am high and this poll is giving me a heart attack!
Why so ?

WLB in SEA/BEL offices is far better than MPK. Depending on which team you’re coming from in MSFT it might still feel a little more intense though. On my team people can do well with 40-45h if they don’t goof around.
Thanks for the info. I am working for a team that is more of 'no goofing around'. 45 hours per week seems very reasonable to me. Is that Bellevue has very less teams now as it is recently opened ?
