I’m a TSE currently and really don’t like it, took the job because I had to make a quick decision at the time. I’ve been doing it for a year now and hate it, the job sucks the soul out of me and makes me miss programming. I do next to 0 coding day to day and most of my work is scripting or support calls/emails. The role itself is respected with a progression path but really doesn’t feel like what I want to do long term. Also got placed at the bare minimum level of the role and no chance for promo in the coming cycle. Maybe the cycle after that though.
Recently got an offer from MS for SDE II. TC is 12% higher (yes prev TC was that bad) and team looks interesting enough. I’m just unsure if it would be the right choice to jump ship now or if it’s better to stick to Google till I can eventually ladder transfer.
Blind helped me get the offer so hoping you kind folks can help me make the better decision.

TSE is just a support level job facing shitty customer's with same shitty queries.
P.S: ladder transfer process will show you how much importance you are given because you are on O ladder and will make you hate this role more. Just a personal opinion!
