I recently gotten an offer from AWS from Amazon and O365 from Microsoft for level 5 SDE 2 and Software Engineer 2 respectively. What are your thoughts on better career prospects and which route that I should go? I will receive the actual numbers next week. Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.
You’ll probably learn more at Amazon but your life will suck more. Not sure about MS, but very easy to switch between teams in Amazon which is always good. Microsoft has much better benefits, but it’s in the middle of the woods. Seattle sucks as is, so I can’t imagine wanting to work all the way in Redmond. WLB will be much better at MS. They’re both good companies to work for.
This seems to be the difference, I value WLB so hopefully I can negotiate the offer to almost the same pay scale for MS.
Msft
Microsoft will eventually own Amazon, so Microsoft.
O365 seems like lipstick on a pig.
Lmao. This in true. Go to Amazon for faster career growth
I'm going to get roasted for this but I genuinely like O365. It's the best cloud productivity software I've used, nothing else comes close. What else could you possibly suggest as a competitor?
AWS much better options for your resume. You will learn a lot
O365 WLB can be bad too. Look at what you can learn and decide.
How many yoe do you have? Also, it’s impossible to answer without tc, your preferences etc
I have 5 years of experience and currently with Boeing.
