Comp is a real issue at MSFT. Lost 8 team members around me (ranging from PMs to talented engineers) I am an EM. So disheartened. So many lost hours in trainings and rampup over the last year. :( TC: 280 LOE: 8#engineering #software #swe
Hire me , I just got rejected by initial technical screen easy questions because of lack of comments
That’s a valid reason to be rejected tbh. Communication is key.
It's so subjective.. I prefer to not have comments in code which is already easy to read.
Sorry to hear. Hope they RIP
They did what’s best for them.
I didn’t get. I assumed OP meant they lost their lives.
Have easier interviews? I hear MSFT WLB is amazing and idc about lower TC
While bleeding talent is unavoidable due to pay, having easier interviews won’t help. Interviews should be moderately hard but really start easy and an interviewer should work their way up on difficulty. Also, in general, MSFT interviews aren’t known to be super hard. Anyway, not saying hiring is not a challenge. Just saying retention is
WLB depends on the team.
Per hour rate at. Microsoft is better than all other FAANG companies 😂
Not Google I bet
Actually its not true for my team. Working 8 hours a day is the culture and norm. Though nothing off hours typically. And when i say people are working, they are really working not slacking
Over time, Apple will run the majority of its workloads on Kubernetes cluster
Nah that’s too high. That’s the going rate for sr Eng manager at the top paying companies.
Maybe it's not comp. Maybe it's you they're trying to get away from.
I am going into that depression zone too :( But i hope thats not true. I am hands on. Coding full day. I gave so many promotions (every 1 in 2 got promoted). People had great high visibility projects, wlb and respect for everything they do
Yeah you’re the problem
With that TC, why don’t you leave as well?
Just bought leetcode premium
Leetcode for manager?
I left Microsoft for the same reason. My manager is trying really hard to push HR to come with a compete offer, but still 70% lower comparing to the rest of offers I got. Sad to see many teams are experiencing similar issues, Sigh. Hope leadership team could take some actions on July.
I keep hearing the same from upper management. They want to fix this issue soon. How big can the raise really be?
My manager - “I am hearing some good things at SLT”
280 and 8 YoE. That summarizes the problem perfectly.
I know. I should just start leetcode
280 is low? Wtf
yes, have 2 offers at another similar level company (uber + amazon) that blows msft offer off the map. It’s a shame since i would prefer msft.
