Tiktok (Mountain View): User Growth Team base: 125k / target bonus: 25% / equity : $110,500 (15/25/25/35) / $30k sign-on Microsoft (Atlanta): Azure SQL Data Team base: 95k / target bonus 20% / equity : $70k (25/25/25/25) / $20k sign-on I’m honestly evaluating career-growth and mental health more than anything. It seems like a no brainer but just wanted Blind’s specific pros and cons and why of each.
Microsoft for WLB and mental health. Tiktok for self-growth, earning potential, and faster promotions.
Azure isn’t exactly a bastion for WLB either so you’ll need to search around for that specific team (some teams have constant fires for oncall which is not fun). Personally, I would take the risk with TikTok
Negotiate Microsoft and then take it. Dating scene is probably better in Atlanta but Seattle is so much nicer
Negotiated it from 132k tc to 180k tc
For Atlanta?
UG is one of the teams with better WLB
Can you elaborate more on the team culture? I appreciate it!
Lots of complaining at all hands but didn’t see any complaints from this team. Expect mostly chill weeks but as you approach feature releases it ramps up.
Huh, I don’t even have a 20% target bonus at L64 and my base is almost double that, what role is it?
SWE L59!
Not with different cost of living
If you make 20% more and you’re expenses are 20% more, then your savings are 20% more
How much can we trust the target bonus?
what do you mean by this?
Like if they say 20% target, how likely it is we can achieve it? Is it given to top 10% performers only etc
Do you speak Chinese?
I don’t hahaha
Which offer did you end up taking?
Neither lol

Meta interviews: Leetcode review strategy?
Look at blind ratings. TikTok and mental health don’t go together. Atlanta is much cheaper than Mountain View.
