For few folks the choice might be easy but I have been impacted by the layoffs twice in past 1-2 years so I’m not sure if I have to prioritze stability or comp. Any thoughts? Current TC: 0 YoE: 6
Msft also had layoffs for swe but percentage wise it was lower that meta. Don’t know if that will hold true in future due to ai investment but I think Msft is still safer.
Do you think its worth trading 30% TC for stability and potential good wlb?
Don’t assume good wlb. You want to go in and start demonstrating value. I say this because you don’t want manager to have impression of rest and vest. It’s risky to do that. How dependent are you on employment? Visa and family situation will determine trade off.
Stability? Microsoft. I'd recommend you negotiate that offer with Meta, it's pretty low tbh.
That Microsoft offer is insulting. Can you get a proper counter for meta?
As of now, no as these are the only offers I have in hand rn
Msft has layoffs too. Go with meta
No sign on in the Meta Offer?
Nope. Rehires don’t get signon itseems
Op are you a boomerang to Meta?
Microsoft WLB could be worse than Meta. With all the toxic managers it is no safe place. Go Meta
I'm lvl 63 at Msft in Redmond and my base is 167k 🤡 Yet people are calling 180k insulting
Base don’t matter, you have stocks and bonuses.
According to levels.fyi that's only 2k below average
MSFT beats the shit out of lowball even when you know they have lowest of low balls. I’m actually ashamed of this 3 trillion dollar company.
I didn’t know Microsoft senior offers are that low
Yeah msft is known for low balling
I would take meta
