I have received offers from both Microsoft and Bloomberg for new grad. Microsoft will not raise numbers further which is disappointing since I have seen higher numbers. Bloomberg will negotiate. Microsoft (Redmond) L59 Base: 118400 Stock: 140000 over 3.5 years Bonus: 25k Year 1, 25k Year 2 Performance Bonus: 10% Bloomberg (NYC) Software Engineer (no levels) Base: 155k Stock: 0 Performance Bonus: 23k I interned at Microsoft this summer and enjoyed Seattle. I did not particularly enjoy my project, but my team was very nice and the people were cool plus can always move internally. Bloomberg people seem cool from my interview process. TC: 0 (student) YOE: 0 (student, 3 internships) #microsoft #bloomberg
For Univ hires MSFT is good. Also keep looking. Aim for TC + exp start of career . 2¢
Disappointing? How? U got paid more than sde2 in the company lmao 😛 kids these days.
yeah I check myself sometimes too lol first world problems and such but just disappointing in that people who didn’t have competing offers got higher comp thats all
There are many factors, those may have performed well during internships, etc. I'd choose Bloomberg then jump to google nyc after a year or so. I heard google nyc loves Bloomberg folks
You can't expect any career growth at Microsoft. You have two terrible choices.
Why do you say so? How are you defining career growth?
Comparing Bloomberg to MSFT is silly. always consider a tech company when you are starting out
Bloomberg is a tech company. Their core products are software.
