Joined a couple of years back Thinking about leaving. Not due to bad pay. Pay is decent. Performance reviews have been awesome too. Just getting bored, not enjoying my work at all. Doesn’t look like manager has anyone else to do the shit I’m doing. Is this a crazy thought given how good perception is of the company outside? Would this cause companies I interview with to cast negative doubts about my performance given the company’s positive image and good stock growth? Total yoe: 10+ TC: 380k Location: not Seattle
Do you mind sharing yoe, or yoe at msft , and tc?
Responded
Other posts say people with 10yoe who went to google, fb, etc easily get north of 400-500k tc. Considering there is more free time at Microsoft for leetcoding and improving skills, I think why not give other companies a try. Plus you are in bay area, so plenty of opportunities
There are plenty of internal openings you can apply to that could me more interesting. What makes you tick?
Just a handful of internal openings at my location.
How can a L65 get 380k? You must be in Bay.
Will Seattle be 10% less? Like 340k?
Even 340k is unheard of L65 in Redmond. OP must possess some hard to find skill set.
Is location Bay Area?
Yes
As a hiring manager, a candidate wanting to do new things is a fine answer. If you are interested in FB developer infrastructure, DM me.
Do you guys work on Aroma?
You think too much. Interviewer wouldn’t question you that. You can just say other people approached you so you go to interview, or you say want to try some new adventures
