Got an offer from Oracle Cloud and really want to know how are things there? Is WLB as bad as AWS? Or is it better? I understand they don't give bonuses so I am trying hard to negotiate. But other than that would you recommend Oracle as a good company to work for? #oracle #oci Current TC: 230K Expected OCI TC: 330k
Scam. The tech is not really on the cloud. Super misleading.
Are you also in OCI? Would you recommend not joining?
Level at both? I heard lots of on call load as they are building regional cluster or something which takes a lot of debugging .. but that can be team specific .. I didn’t join even though my offer was way better .. just my 2 cents
principal SWE. That's scary. Thanks for sharing. How are things at MS now? Hiring?
Principal member of technical staff? I have seen msft sde2 got offer of that title.
Depends on the team. I enjoyed my time there.
Glad to hear. Were you in Oracle cloud before? And now you're at Amazon? Was oracle better wlb wise?
OCI is much better than AWS. Lot of scope for IC4s
I’m mostly happy there, but depends entirely on your team and most importantly your manager. The negatives: high ops load / overhead; constant re-orgs; politics. The positives: big growth potential; lots of problems to solve; decent WLB and better benefits compared to my experience at Amazon. Overall i have found it to be a better place to work than Amazon.
Thanks for your reply. Is 330k TC fair for principal SWE?
Yes, ic4 band is around 300-450k range based. Lot of problems to solve as we are still growing and building new services etc
Depends on the team- potential for growth. I really have liked my time here. Again, two cents
OCI is paying low these days. I’m Senior MTS with 300k+ TC. But PMTS has better scope. What is your YOE?
YOE?
OP. How many years of experience do you have ? I have been mapped to the Senior Software Engineer position interview loop which pays 210k total compensation. That is lower than what I make now. I have 7+ year of experience. I feel they are low balling me. Is Senior MTS = Senior Software Engineer?
8 yoe
Which is position/level you got an offer for? Job title?
TC breakdown?
I was told the base is capped at 185K, is that the case, OP?
Tc?
Added
by the way how are things at Meta?
