Moving from AWS to Azure. A right move?
Hello I am currently working at AWS as SDE-1 (almost 1 year) I also have an offer from Microsoft Azure for SDE-2 ,(L61)(Better pay than my current TC at amazon) But how would Microsoft Azure look on resume / learning curve / growth opportunities Offer : 131Base,50K sign on, 130K worth stocks
AWS looks better on your resume
I would take it for the instant promo, tc is decent for Microsoft. But your experience will depend on the team and org. Some teams have a steep learning curve and you'll be expected to do more as sde 2
You got 61 with 1 year experience?
Yes
Bachelor degree?
Good joke kid 😂 I am calling BS
Azure is what made $MSFT go up. It’s money maker org.
It is but they are cheap on treating employees well, office spends more on their engineers. But you can get faster promos in azure, so maybe it balances.
only if u were on jedi and just have to stick with it?
if you're not BSing and people think offer is too good to be true, take it as a compliment. Be so good that people think you are cheating.
Sure, why not jump up a step? Nothing prevents you from getting back to Amazon as an SDE3 several years later, if you suddenly decide that "long term" AWS is better
Yes so true just walk between companies and you will get higher titles always
Not always, not everyone - but many people do it successfully
Are you sure it's sde 2? Level 61?
Yes ,L61
He is BSing, MS don't give L61 with 1 yoe. Lul
