Microsoft to Uber
Is Microsoft to Uber a jump up, jump down or same ? Just from a company and resume value perspective? Tc: 300
Microsoft to anywhere is jump up π
says amazon. amazon recruiters send 6 emails/week
I get almost 2-3 emails every day from Amazon.
L4 there has similar TC as Principal engineer in MS. Easy decision.
L4 is much higher TC. I was 66 at MSFT, and got L4 offer at stripe (among others). Much much higher.
Oh you mean Uber L4. Dunno, but very likely.
LOL π this is so funny!! Having worked in Microsoft I would say itβs a jump up. In fact, anywhere from Microsoft is a jump UP β¬οΈ
Uber used to be great place for tech. I enjoyed it there, and still recommend it. do make sure to reverse interview, Dara is a pretty mediocre CEO, no CTO for a while now so the place could be going down hill fast.
Thanks π
OP can you share your levels and TC at both companies?
Still to get !
Been at both. If you're looking to learn , push yourself, work on some cool tech and comfortable with ambiguity and some rchaos Uber will be a big step up including in TC. If you value a more stable job, with likely greater WLB MS will likely still be better.
Depends. Having interviewed a few times there, I would rate Uber easily the worst of all top billed companies. In fact, with their WLB, they are just Amazon's uglier sister on steroids. The only reason they are a top billing is because they pay insane amounts. I mean, if you are getting a lot more comp than at MS (which you might) and don't mind the toxic workplace, I think it is right for you. Of course learning will be there as well because it is a lot more chaotic than MS. So as someone else mentioned here, to learn and earn, go there, to live and breathe, stay at MS.
That's a false choice. I'm pretty sure there are parts of MS that are as if not more political than Uber. "live and breathe" is extremely dramatic π . The Chaos is more because it's a competitive business and some leadership churn leading to potential reorgs. I can't speak for Amazon but Uber culture is nothing like the pip stories there
Hi Uber , can I dm u
Depends on TC/Level. Both companies are good imo
