Have an offer from GCP and Microsoft, Location Austin, YOE 13 GCP, L6 CE - base 220 Bonus 20% sign-on bonus 50k Equity - 650 ( 33%,33%,22%,12%) Microsoft - Azure Level 66 - Base 220 Bonus 30% sign-on 130k ( spread over 2 years) equity - 600K (25%,25%,25%,25%) Thoughts on the offer.. #Tech #Azure #gcp
Current TC, level and YOE?
My thoughts are that I am pissed. I used to be an L6 at GCP and didn't get anywhere near that amount. $650 in RSUs... damn. I got, real talk, $150. You are just a standard CE? GCP is pretty chill for CEs... not so much for AEs. Microsoft, also worked there, is a gamble. You could get on a good team and it will be great. You could get on an awful team and will be looking to get out of there in six months. Flip a coin. So I would go GCP.
L6 with $150? Like per year? Otherwise you must be non-tech? What’s CE?
Yeah, it is non-tech. Sales engineer.
At this point, it’s where you can make a bigger impact or which team you prefer. TC wise it won’t make a dent in your pocket either way
Can you please refer me to GCP?
As someone who detests GCP and works in it, it's GCP. I'd only take MSFT with at least 20% more TC. Bail from GCP in a year if you hate it.
How is the morale at GCP these days? I have noticed a bunch of people I worked with a few years ago have left.
Probably depends on team, morale is pretty bad on my team due to mismanagement but my org is doing pretty well overall
Gcp all day long. Msft Azure teams in Austin are new and immature, total roll of the dice and more likely to get on an awful team with terrible impact than to get lucky with a good team. Unless you’re looking at a Az Global Svcs or CSE role in which case all those teams will pull you down.
Thanks for the input. This is for MS industrial services, any insights.
What part of IS? MCS is part of IS (no way) as is CTI (maybe) and CSE (hit or miss) Your target refresh at MS is 75K and the initial grant vests 25% / year, so you make a little more at GCP. That’s a good L66 offer. I would see if I could get more out of G and take that.
Great offer from Google, whats your background currently? I've read GCP likes former SWE as CEs.
Great offer for Austin location congrats. Go with google.
what's a CE?
