Offer from Microsoft this week. Edge Team In Redmond, WA TC Breakdown: Base: $112.5k Sign-On: $20k Stock: $120k (I think it is vested over 4 years) Coinbase: (Will be living in a T1 City) Base: $139.5k Stock: $50k (RSU: vest over 1 year, no cliff) I don't care about WLB as long as I'm getting paid handsomely for my efforts. I just want enough time to get a puppy and play video games every so often. I want to make a lot of money. I also want to work remotely and have asked my potential manager about it. Prioritizing learning over all else. Current TC: $92k Base $10k sign-on #engineering #software #swe #newgrad #newgradswe #MSFT #CB #microsoft #coinbase
Coinbase for career growth, Microsoft for WLB.
What technology does coin base have? Compared to MS it’s a tiny one trick pony. If your new and you want to learn Microsoft is by far the better choice.
Coinbase for career growth microsoft for retirement
Seattle is tier 1 city for Coinbase, just sayin
Don’t join Microsoft your compensation trajectory will degrade down the line . your tc will drop after your on hire stock grant expires. Only 5to 10 % of the employees get special stock award of 20-30k vesting over 4yrs and you have to be a rock star and over achiever for multiple yrs (3 is my experience ) to qualify for it. Also year end performance rewards at Microsoft are peanuts . You get $6k grant vesting over 5 years. In coinbase you might get $100k over 5 years every year. There is no reward cliff at Coinbase. Big difference. Learning is team dependent , I would encourage you to join coinbase. Just read about compensation horror stories at Microsoft. Join Microsoft after 15 yrs into your career when you are financially independent for retirement(fire money). Currently folks are leaving msft in droves .Microsoft leadership encourages long term employees to vote with their feet. No one (might be 1% or so ) from FANG join Microsoft . Only they and the college hires get market rate offers . The problem is so severe that can only hire junior people or people who can’t clear any other interview. Lost is the decade when Microsoft (google or meta or Netflix or apple ) was known for prestige. Now hiring bar is on the floor. Also don’t join for wlb, it’s highly likely you will work 50-60 hrs week.
Wow your comment and your name don't match man
I love the company but it doesn’t love me back 🤷♀️
at CB there’s also 7k annual bonus and like 6-7k in annual cash stipends

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
If you don't care about wlb, go for the coinbase offer. Also maybe if you knew the teams in these orgs we might have a better insight.
Its an Edge team I think
Oh I've heard edge is really good :)
