Microsoft or LinkedIn for new grad??
Hello guys, what do you think is better for a new grad? Numbers are better at LinkedIn, but growth and learning are things I want to prioritize. I really want to work on distributed systems and/or backend services. Microsoft: Azure org in Redmond. 110k base, 120k worth of rsu over 3.5 years, 50k signing across first two years, 10% target bonus LinkedIn: Full stack team in Sunnyvale. 125k base, 175k worth of rsu over 4 years, 20k signing, 10% target bonus I do think LinkedIn has better refreshers but not sure how long I'd stay/if it will matter a lot.
Pick your poison, you are working for Microsoft one way or another 😅
😕
MS has much lower bar than LI.
In the long run, both you and your tummy would be happy w/ [in] They have amongst the best food 😋 and are doing great as a biz
Haha is the food really that good?
yee
Were you an intern at LinkedIn or completed a full loop? Either ways, LI seems better
Li has no guaranteed refreshers. That said Microsoft’s guaranteed refreshers are not worth noting, so, both negate each other IMO. Comes down to team etc.
Nope, LinkedIn’s refresh is not great
Any day LinkedIn. Don't even think about it.
Let’s just say we don’t have LinkedIn engineers knocking down the doors of Microsoft nearly as much as they are trying to get [in]
I’m surprised the LI base isn’t higher. Is that normal? With taxes, the offers feel similar. Anyway, based on current offers, the money will go so much further in Washington, and you’ll have a higher quality of life as such, but go to with the team that interests you most.
