Thermo Fisher vs Microsoft

Mar 23 12 Comments

I got an offer as a Technical Writer as a contractor role at both these companies.

Pay rate at M is X
Pay rate at TF is 1.5X

M - 4months contract, non extendable
TF - 12 months contract, could hire later

What do I do

    TF, it's not even close. If you're asking bc of like MSFT having more prestige or something, I don't think a 4 month contract is going to carry a ton of weight so in this case I wouldn't really consider it if it's paying less and doesn't convert to FT.

    What makes you think the MSFT contract is even comparable to TF?

      MSFT is just full of non diverse desi teams .., I will go for a diverse team as it’s more chilled out n there r hardly such teams at MSFT .. n MSFT pays peanuts

      I think the MSFT offer is awful compared to TF. The obvious choice is the one which gives you stability and growth.

      Though I can’t speak to the technical
      Writing market that’s just my opinion on employment in general.

    1) Why isn't this a poll?
    2) Why ask such question when answer is obvious?
    3) TC or GTFO
    4) go to line 3 util it is true
