Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud team?

At a bigger sense, which team one should join as a new grad (masters student). Azure is doing better than GCP ( atleast what internet say), hence is it better to join than google cloud teams? Any help is appreciated !

Over google cloud specifically I would say azure , over any other team I would say google . The forecast is that azure is expected to climb and honestly the stocks are doing the talking

Azure is a marketing product not an engineering team. Look at the quality of code written in Compute org. It is horrible at best.

Azure seems fairly silo’d in Microsoft technologies. If you like that, go for it. If you want to work in a more agnostic environment, GCP

I'm doing more OSS these days than Msft. Representative.

Although Azure is doing better scope at GCP may be bigger for you. Also company wise you will be at a better place. With gcp experience you can go to Azure or aws later.

Azure. They will over take AWS in the next 7 years or so.

They are down for last 20 hours. All business hosted in their US central region are down for last 20 hours. Microsoft can do all the fraudulent accounting they want but they are the country club

Fraudulent accounting? ... Pkwd' your assessment sounds correct. It'll take Google a long time to catch up

Research Now Shinzaemon Sep 4, 2018

I would say go for GCP. Azure is a piece of crap. Look at their 20 hour outage in midwest. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/status/ Typical Microsoft shitshow of mediocrity.

Microsoft DOyu71 Sep 4, 2018

I assume Google is even more of a shitshow then : https://status.cloud.google.com/summary Your ignorance is showing...

Research Now Shinzaemon Sep 5, 2018

You have suffered a 24 hour outage for an entire region and what does GCP has? Few instances lasting several minutes. You don't know how to read or interpret the Azure dashboard. Shame on you for 24 hour outage for entire region

Go to OCI, they are on track to be 2nd in the market in 3 years

Microsoft nuuuuuuts Sep 4, 2018

LOL

Microsoft DOyu71 Sep 4, 2018

That shit is funny. OCI on track to be out of business in 3 years.

Microsoft Rendezvou Sep 4, 2018

LOL. Is this guy insane? Google dude. Microsoft is a shithole

Amazon onMyWay Sep 4, 2018

If you feel that way, why are you not at google lmao?

Microsoft Rendezvou Sep 4, 2018

Well if only I could get in, lol

Azure success is not going to be reflected on your compensation, go for google

Microsoft buffalony Sep 4, 2018

Also, it’d be always easier for you to move to MS from Google than the opposite. However, azure teams promote people quickly so you could get a senior in 4-5 years when in google I guess you’d need 2x more time to get to L5

Microsoft DOyu71 Sep 4, 2018

Not true in the least. Nothing blocking anyone at ms from going to google. And azure success is reflected in your paycheck albeit indirectly.

Google zusammen Sep 5, 2018

It doesn't matter whether the product is no1 or no2 in the market unless you are given a leadership position. Duh! I would join Google given that TI has highly competent engineers.

Amazon onMyWay Sep 5, 2018

Does Azure not?

Microsoft is a shithole for the way they treat employees. Take this from a current Microsoft employee. Google all the way.

Microsoft 5’8” Sep 5, 2018

Do you not watch the videos from Satya? We lead with empathy dude. All employees are treated good

Microsoft HUyN72 Sep 5, 2018

Not money wise
