Microsoft vs VMware for Junior SDE

I have been working in VMware (Bay Area, MTS 2, TC 170) since July 2019, and I received an offer from Microsoft (Redmond, L59, TC 150) Azure team. The only thing I concern now is the immigration policy, VM doesn't allow me to file GC during OPT even I born in ROW(Priority Date is current) while MSFT allows but have to wait in the queue. Except this, based on potential, career path, living cost between bay area and Seattle, etc. Should I take this and go to MSFT?

This is no brainer. GC should take precedence over TC at this stage. Also, MSFT is good company. I don't know what's your concern for not going to Microsoft? Your TC are also almost similar. Infact MSFT is more as it is Seattle.

Immigration takes precedence over all factors. Go to the company with best support. TCs are equal or MSFT is higher since in Seattle. Azure is prestigious. On all fronts Microsoft is a better options.
