Microsoft Azure Data and Intelligence team offer

Microsoft folks, any idea about how good the team is? The team sits in studio G.

What's the breakdown of the offer?

Oracle techlord OP Jun 1, 2019

Base Pay: 117k Sign on: 25k Relocation: 5k Stocks: 130k

Oracle techlord OP Jun 1, 2019

What is your advice? My other offer is from Zillow. Base pay: 145k Sign on: 50k Relocation: 10k plus free housing for first month. Stocks: 100k but negotiating. I still have two more tries for H1B and I have to choose between these two. I am not planning on continuing at Oracle because Manager isn’t supportive. Bachelors from Stanford, Masters from Cornell. Before someone asks, I am Indian so I guess can’t get GC real quick. Biased towards Microsoft for H1B. How is this team and please advice. Requesting sincerely.

You're getting shafted by the wrong team at MS. If you're any good with Data Science and AI then join Sales. TC will likely be $220K+

Oracle techlord OP Jun 2, 2019

What do you know about the team? Is this team a bad team at Microsoft?

Microsoft BoomSauce Jun 2, 2019

It's a good team, but their offer is shit. Decide who you want to be. This is an inflection point for you. Build cool shit but make average pay, or sell cool shit others build and make good pay. No wrong answer. You do you

What's your level at msft?

Oracle techlord OP Jun 2, 2019

Level 60, I have 2.5 years experience.

If h1b is the concern i think you go with the safest but other than that giving your education and assume you also did well at oracle tc looks low. But these two tjing could be related. Msft could have seen thay you need h1b and lowballed you since you dont have much choice. Not sure tho.

Oracle techlord OP Jun 2, 2019

Yeah I feel the same. I could go to Microsoft for H1B and at least convince myself saying I chose it for H1B. Plus it’s a good brand name on resume. Saying that I am troubled by not knowing how good the team is. Could you provide any insights if possible please?

Microsoft _john_doe Jun 2, 2019

I dont know the team unfortunately. Can you reach to your recruiter and ask to meet with some ftes from the team to answer some of your questions maybe.

If you're looking for technical work, then Data and Intelligence isn't for you. Most of the time, it's script work and creating fancy reports (except if you're in Fundamentals, they do some real data science things)

Oracle techlord OP Jun 2, 2019

I did my Masters in Machine Learning. Is the team good? Oh what would you suggest? I am not sure if the team is good or not.

Oracle techlord OP Jun 2, 2019

Is it a development team or testing team? Is it worth joining that team? Please let me know. I could dm you.
