I got offers from both Microsoft and Shopify and need help deciding which is better for my career progression. I have 5 YoE as a back-end engineer at a non-tech company so this will be my first intro to FANG-like companies. Microsoft certainly looks better on resumes and as far as I've read it has a pretty good WLB Shopify seems more exciting in but I'm sure that comes with a more "fast paced" environment Comp-wise, they're pretty close, Shopify being slightly higher. #engineering #microsoft #shopify #career #
Shopify will be soon where Amazon is today, it is tomorrow's faang. Go with Shopify.
Op, can i dm you? I want to get into Shopify but not getting call.
depends what you value. imo shopify has larger potential upside and pretty good WLB in my experience microsoft is improving in general quality recognition, but also has a lot of teams working on some pretty boring stuff. i’d vote shopify, but it really depends. happy to chat in DMs as well
Are you a SWE or PM at shopify? I’m looking for information on US salaries
Thanks! Sending a DM your way
