The narrative is and has been that we should feel lucky to be at Microsoft because we get such a great deal with our WLB. Other companies pay more, but we should be scared to leave Microsoft because we would never make it at Meta, Google, Apple, Amazon, Stripe, etc.. because we have it so good here with our WLB. Is this actually true or is this just propaganda perpetuated by the Microsoft HR department? Specifically asking people who have worked at both Microsoft and FAANG+ who can compare. YOE 8 TC 195k
Microsoft pays top of market for L6+ ML talent. In terms of WLB, yes I hear it’s very good at MSFT. For instance, at TikTok you’re expected to do 12-8pm every day at the office (badge in). Amazon has a performance culture, and the bottom 5% are aggressively managed out (stack ranking). Google is full of social initiatives. Microsoft has managed to avoid all of that. I’d say be thankful of the experienced talent that has been at the company for decades.

Yes right. But in general the saying is still correct
