Yes
May I ask for what team?
Micro
Adobe is shitty tier company
Ask to work in Seattle and avoid the state tax for Adobe.
OP, could you please share your time line for MS new grad from application to offer? I have amazon final round lined up and MS application still shows "routed to recruiter" in archive section of activity center!
I’ve lived in Seattle working for MSFT and SF working for Adobe. The quality of life is way better in the bay (if you like sun) and the culture at Adobe is much more collaborative/friendly, but they’re both great cities and companies. I’d make the decision based on where you want to live and how much you clicked with your interview team.
Which team in Adobe?
