Hey Blinders, I have received following offers from Microsoft and Booking.com. Microsoft L64 Bangalore - 58 Lacs + 15% Bonus + 200k RSU/4 years + (12+12) Joining Bonus Booking.com SPM Amsterdam - 110k + 20% Bonus + RSU and Joining Bonus (Under discussion. How much can I ask? Recruiter did not mention anything about these aspects.) I have always wanted to live in Europe. This is the first time I have come close to living the dream. But now, Microsoft numbers are making me think again about moving to Europe. In Booking.com my office hours will get over by 4:30 pm while in MS India, I will have evening calls to attend, so work life balance is a concern with MS. However the savings will be more with MS especially if it's true that the 30% tax ruling in Amsterdam may get scrapped off. (30% Tax ruling - 30% of your salary for expats in Amsterdam is not taxable). Following things are important to me: 1. Work Life Balance 2. Money 3. Living in Europe 4. Career Growth Please let me know your views which one I should select. Will really help if you can provide your reasons in the comments as well. Thanks!! YOE - 10 years #booking #microsoft #tech
Thanks so much guys.. it does seem that we all are inclining more towards MS. My Europe dream may probably have to wait a couple more years.. :/
Current TC ?
That is L65 level offer. MS is a no brainer choice here. What’s your current role and TC at Walmart?
I am currently IN5 in walmart. TC is 72 with base at 51
Go for booking. You can always join MS later. Living there and visiting once or twice a year is not the same.
Take microsoft and visit Europe twice yearly on a vacation
This!
