I have the following offers. YOE 2, Seattle area Microsoft - L60 - base 125K - bonus 25K - stock 100K I believe Microsoft has target bonus at 10%. Qualtrics - L4 (Software Engineer II) - base 135K - stock 250K Plus 5% minimum bonus. Other considerations: - Qualtrics has free lunches - Microsoft match more for 401K (about 8K) How would you choose?
Location? Cant believe qualtrics giving 250k stock. Would still prefer MS.

What team/org for both? Qualtrics eng is a bit of a shitshow.
How so?
Microsoft is Azure Data. Qualtrics is employee experience. What do you mean about Qualtrics' Eng?
Microsoft doesn't have refreshers. Qualtrics is offering you an SDE 2 position
Go to Qualtrics
Qualtrics offered me $258k TC plus sign on for same location, yoe, and similar position (ML Engineer) after I negotiated but I still turned them down after talking with senior leadership. It seems that they have technically smart people but that's it. No other redeeming factors. Microsoft will have smarter people and better projects but probably worse pay in both short term and long Personally, I would keep interviewing if I was in your position
Azure data is a good place to be - leverage the qualtrics offer to negotiate better numbers for msft. Dont go to qualtrics unless you want to end your career
One thing to note is we have real refreshers so the diff in comp will only widen
I heard that refreshers for L4 are 100K, are they vested over 4 years?
Goto qualtrics.
