  • I'd say TikTok in the Bay Area since you're young and can afford the risk and try to get into a unicorn (Stripe) or Google soon

      OP
      I had the same exact thought, but I’m not a resident, and still don’t have my H1B yet. So if my h1b doesn’t work out, Vancouver is always an option with msft. What do you think?

    • Ah, then yes I would recommend MSFT. They are very good when it comes to immigration stuff.

  • Which team at TT? If you don’t mind no wlb, questionable leadership and culture, then go for TT. Be prepared to learn a lot (but not necessarily best practices or cutting edge tech). TT Bay Area is a satellite office, so manage your expectations when it comes to growth, transparency, and employee wellness.

    Overall, you will prob leave after a year at TT. But I can see ppl growing their careers in MSFT forever. Good luck :)
