Please consider telling the factors, it will help :). Also I have one attempt left for H1B. #engineer #swe #software
Do you know vesting schedule for oracle? Are the stocks spread across 4 years? If so, then both these offers will have same compensation atleast in first year. Assuming you get 25% of your stocks in first year at oracle as well. Now, does oracle have performance bonuses and stocks every year? I remember reading one post online that they dont have good performance bonuses and stocks. Check this with someone who works at oracle. I can speak from personal experience, Microsoft will take care of all immigration things if you dont get your h1b on last try. I was given that option too and they had started the process on their own. Are you ok moving to Austin for Oracle? Or is remote too?
Also check if oracle will start i140 process as soon as you join. MSFT will not wait for your h1b to be filed before starting your i140 process.
Oracle stocks are spread across 4 years and its hybrid work policy. I am fine moving to Austin

What does oracle do if h1b fails? That is important
Microsoft definitely
How did you get IC3 at OCI with 1.6 yoe?
2 yoe in india and 1.6 is US
Kudos to you for hearing back! Do you mind sharing how you applied to Microsoft and hear back? Was it a cold app? Or was it a referral?
You can’t put a price on the peace of mind that comes with Microsoft. It sends you to Canada n back without any hassle. Will apply for gc without even you asking for it. Oracle on the other hand pays more and your salary remains same when you move to Canada n back. But the process to move is team dependent and may not have budget so you have to go with day 1 cpt. Also, they don’t apply for gc until you get h1b.
Also, ask for a joining bonus from oracle. They will give around 30-40k split between 2 years
Go with Microsoft, you may or may not get immigration help from Oracle.
