For $5k difference Microsoft. No question about it.
Hands down Microsoft. It open doors for companies that pay at least 300k
You'll get any interview you want in 2 yrs with Microsoft on your resume.
Ask for at least L61 given your YOE.
Stepping stone TC anyways
Microsoft
Easy choice, Microsoft. It is almost certainly a better job now and it is definitely much better for your profile if you look to pivot in the future.
Microsoft Things you don't know 1. You can get 10k in 401k match 2. 1.5% bump via ESPP 3. Perks plus (1.5k) 4. HSA contribution (2k) 5. L60 is entry level, TC will almost double at L63 6. You can move to FANG and further upgrade your pay. 7. one of the most profitable companies in the planet vs one whose name can not be shared 8. Brand value, recruiters will chase you down for the brand vs you will be chasing receuiters for an opportunity 9. If you do really good you will get SSA( don't bet on this) 10. You might be randomly given SSA ( I got 65k, 85k) due to hot job market.
I didn't understand 3rd point..
Sorry it's called perks plus these days. Every year you get 1.5k which can be used for gym membership/exercise equipment /sports equipment etc.
Where did you end up going?
Microsoft benefits are pretty great plus it’s a decent name to have on your resume.
I agree. Name matters.
Exactly ^^^
