    Considering the WLB differences between MSFT and GS I’d choose MSFT

      What type of role are you looking at at GS? I know people on the investments side and they work you pretty hard. Very much depends on the role and team though.

      Don’t get me wrong, GS is a great company and an amazing name on your resume. Great firm filled with really smart people. But having worked in the investments industry and now in tech, WLB and culture is drastically different (I prefer tech :)

      Thanks for your input. I am leaning towards Microsoft though. It's on the Risk Division at GS.

    Unless you think you'll love New York, I'd definitely go with Microsoft

      Yeah. But they already released the offer. Is there any chance of negotiation further at MS?
      Nov 5, 2020
    • Was that the initial offer or the one after negotiation ?

  • What is the role? Software? Microsoft. Is it product? Goldman has some awesome product teams. And it’s nyc too.
