Got an offer from Microsoft as a returning FTE after internship at their HQs in Redmond. However, also expected to have an offer from Oracle in the Bay Area and another one from SpaceX. I like the product at Microsoft, but not in love with it. Oracle is interesting, but SpaceX sounds so interesting and exciting and I have been obsessed with space since I was a kid. I am a new grad, married, and in need of advice. I want to do good for my new young family, but not sure if to value WLB, Compensation, or product more. Am I a little too optimistic about going to SpaceX instead of the stability or Microsoft or Oracle? Clarification: I still don’t know the numbers from Oracle and SpaceX. Microsoft offer: Salary: 118.4k Bonus: 30k (2 years) Stock: 100k (4 years) #engineering #software #swe
DON’T do oracle. It’s a company that doesn’t value its employees, has a bunch of home-grown weak leadership, you’ll be lucky to get a bonus or a promotion, your career growth will be slow or will stall, you’ll pick up bad habits I could go on. Just don’t do oracle
+1. This is the worst place I have ever worked
Yes , don't join oracle. If they pay you a huge salary, plan for short term. Join, collect stocks and leave. One more thing you will lose the Passion for work if you join Oracle.
Oracle non-oci definitely no. Oci is ok but not for new grads. Microsoft treats new grads pretty well and it’s a good place to grow (at first). Space X no idea, but will probably be very hectic. Depends of how much overtime you want to do I guess. It will probably open way more doors in the future.
What about OCI?
Oci can be good learning experience, but not for new people.
Space X! Don’t come to Microsoft! You will be regret! And Oracle is sucks .
Nani?
SpaceX might might go IPO in a few years. So, that's the chance to make crazy money. Working hours might be crazy as well (Elon musk effect). OCI has management from Msft and AWS so you can guess. I believe Microsoft is your safest bet. But, you plan to work hard then chose any one of them with best offer.
Valuation is already over 100 billion, days of multi millionaires from SpaceX are gone imo, but a modest stock package can be expected!
Yeah. But if Tesla can be 700B then spaceX deserves a lot more valuation.
Microsoft will likely set you up better for your career than Oracle. Can't speak to SpaceX, but if it coincides with your dreams, I'd go for that. You're young, now is the time to take chances and go for it.
Don’t do Oracle. SpaceX for career growth. Microsoft for career stability! Congrats OP on the good offers.
Second on SpaceX for growing thick skin and learning opportunities Core of SpaceX people in Redmond is from Microsoft
This is so funny that all the Microsoft and oracle people here are like don’t come and all of us SpaceXers are like “come come come”
Hey I’m a new grad w a few months of experience and I really want to work at spacex at some point. Mind if I DM you, would love to chat
Spacex will probably get you close to 200k
I would go with spacex but I'm biased
Fairly new grad here HCOL over $200k.
Microsoft is very team dependent. If you think you can handle the workload, I’d give spacex a shot; why not? You can always come to msft if you don’t like it.
Do spaceX it will open more opps in your career.
