Microsoft: L61 Azure compute 135k base 10% bonus 20k + 20k sign on 75k stock over 4 years Expedia: Sde 2 Checkout team 140k base 12% bonus 30k+10k sign on 25k stock over 4 years Both positions are in Seattle. Expedia has good WLB. Azure compute definitely has oncall duties, not sure about the WLB there. YOE: 4.5 TC: 180k
Expedia moving to Seattle, incase thatβs a factor for you. Otherwise, Microsoft hands down comp is looking better, Compute is decent.
WLB in azure is bad. Comp looks similar.
You still with ms azure?
Choose Microsoft. Better career opportunities for growth and better name on your resume.
Are you SDE1? I think I would take MSFT for now, your resume would be very solid with Amazon and MSFT on it. What about other benefits? 401k and everything else.
Yes. I am sde1. Benefits at msft are way better than amazon. Generous time off, 3 weeks pto+ 12 public holidays + 2 personal days + 2 weeks of sick days. 401k is also excellent, 9500/yr matching. You donβt need to wait for 3 yrs to vest. Free parking, free beverages. Health insurance is also good.
