Microsoft vs Oracle
Got offer from Microsoft (MS Azure database security team) vs Oracle Labs (Application OS team) which to choose ? MS location : Redmond ( Washington ) - Remote - L60 Oracle location : Redwood city ( California ) - in Person - IC2 MS TC: 195k Oracle TC: 230k Please consider telling the factors , it will help :) asking for a friend :) #engineering #swe #software
How does ms levels work? 60 is entry?
Upper band of entry level, they start with L59 and IC1
60 is sde1 61,62 sde2 63,64 senior
One thing to keep in mind is msft has great wlb, a good 401k match and good benefits (medical + 1.2k gym). The 401k match is vested 100% all the time, oracle is not 100% vest. The vesting schedule is also different. Oracle is one a year 25%. Microsoft’s 1st vest vests over 5 yrs if I’m not wrong, and after 1st year vests quarterly. Depending on where you are in life, choose is what I would say. WLB being the key factor, followed by the team you like more. A mere 30k will not do much gain/harm - which is also going to be offset due to state taxes in CA
