Hi folks, I wanted some opinion to decide to make a switch from Microsoft to oracle. Is it a good decision or not? Current offer with Microsoft Overall pay :- 185000 Level :- 61 Oracle offer Overall pay :- 265000 Level :- IC3 Any suggestions ?
Just thinking if leaving Microsoft and joining oracle will it affect my profile?
I think, It should not you should grab if you like the team and services u would be working on
A lot of guys from FAANG are joining Oracle
They gave you an IC3 from 61 and you are even thinking about it?
I think IC3 in Oracle and 61 level are same as per levels.FYI so they are offering me same level nothing fancy
What was asked in system design round ? Is it straight from Grokking ?
Do you know how long you have to wait to make $265K at Microsoft? You have to get to L64. You are now L61. Even if you get promoted every 1.5 years at MS, we are talking about this move putting you 4-5 years ahead. That’s a lifetime in this industry. I know at least 2 IC3s in my sister team who left as E5 at Facebook at their 4 year cliff. It wasn’t because they were smarter than everyone else. They just prepared well, interviewed and got the offer. A few of my IC3/IC4 buddies keep getting hounded by FB and Google recruiters all the time. So, your premise that moving to OCI would look bad on your resume is absolutely false.
It’s like an instant promotion to L63/64 for TC, why not
But will it be good enough reason to leave Microsoft?
Clearly the money difference is high. What's your dilemma ?
