Why Worshipping Lord Ram Important in Hinduism?
I got an offer for new grad at Microsoft for L60: 117K/130K/50K. Microsoft offer deadline is on Nov 6. In between I interviewed with G and the HR is very confident of things panning out. But G would take at-least till Nov 10 to complete the process. I requested Microsoft to extend the deadline by a week. They are reluctant. Anyone else faced similar predicament recently with Microsoft not willing to extend the deadline? What happened about the request? Also, any suggestions on what should I do? I surely don't want to miss out on a possible offer from G. P.S.: if anyone is wondering about Facebook in my profile, I interned there and didn't get a return offer.
Have you been matched at G yet? If not, it could take them even longer. The matching process itself might take up to 1 month. It’s hard to compare the offers when you don’t know exact team/roles with G, and if you do and you want that more and willing to sacrifice the MS role. Just do it. This market is so desperate I’m sure you won’t have a hard time finding a FT somewhere else or on another team at MS.
Team matching starts tomorrow for me. Recruiter is confident of getting enough options to help wrap up the full process ASAP.
Accept the offer and give a month's notice. Meanwhile work out with Google recruiter and get an offer. Recant your offer with MS if the numbers don't pan out. You might burn a bridge at MS but G would open a lot of doors sooner or later.
This is the correct answer. You're so young that unless you're trying to jump to MS in 5-10 years (which why would you once you're at G), you'll be okay long term. Fwiw that's a great MS offer and G might be able to top it
Many people come to ms from google at exactly that time because promos past senior and beyond and continued ic career development are very difficult. At least that's what several people I know that came from google told me.
That’s pretty high offer from MS and I’m surprised it’s for 60, because new grads usually get 59. Not sure G would beat that at T3. Why you’re at FB btw?
Check your school deadlines for job offer deadlines for companies. All companies usually respect that deadline. School will defend your rights. Microsot will extend the deadline to that date.
Thats a good offer for not being a returning intern or having a high competing offer. Perhaps in anticipation of getting you to forego your google offer. It's quite possible google will not match that at t3. HR often says they're confident but it's not up to them. The process is the process and ar google it can drag on. You can take the bird you have in your hand (which is a pretty good bird). Turn down the ms offer and see what happens. Maybe google comes through or maybe you're stuck with no job back to where you were before you interviewed. Maybe ms will allow you to join at that point but I doubt the offer would be the same. Wait it out and hope the google offer comes in (which in best case you say it wont) Accept the ms offer and screw them if you like Google's better. Likely blackball from MS, likely have to pay back bonus, reloc etc if you use any of that. Possibly that manager tells his buddy at google or a buddy that moves to google and becomes your manager.
I literally hope MS pulls the offer from this kid.
If you are serious then you are a fucking asshole and everything that is still wrong with Microsoft.
Christ, that’s a good offer.
Wow I was so low balled .. but then I didn’t have Facebook on my resume and I had a shitty job experience of 2 yrs
College grads / intern turned FTE pipeline is different
Obviously they will be reluctant to extend the offer. You're basically telling them, please give me more time so i can see if i get a offer at another company that'd I'd definitely take over yours. That's not to say they won't extend though
You gotta play your cards. Either take the offer or bluff them out and try to get the offer active again if G falls out. MSFT knows what's up. They'll likely pass on you or lower your offer for crawling back.
