I'm leaving fb for wlb and personal reasons. I'm located in the bay area. Yoe 5 One offer is from Uber: SDE2, L4, bay area, tc 259k, BI org. Second offer is from Microsoft: SWE, Seattle area, tc 152k, office 365 org. I'd need to move for this one.
Microsoft level?
If possible, I’d keep interviewing, I’m pretty sure you’re good enough to land much better offers than your current options.
Sadly these are the results of lots of interviews. I got also an Amazon offer but their process is taking too long
Do you think Uber would offer better WLB? Personally I doubt it.
I doubt it too, that's why I'd like to know more insights
What is your uber offer breakdown
Don't come to Microsoft, you will waste yr talent
Could you please elaborate?
You know people are gonna ask you why when you make polarizing comments like that. Answer the why
Some of the Uber BI tools are a disaster but 100k more is probably worth it. Be ready to switch teams fast if you don’t love the situation you’re in. DM me if you want more information
We cant help you without knowing more about you. Personally, I realized I enjoy wlb over money after a couple jobs out of college. I took a 30k paycut to move from the bay to Seattle. 1 hour stop and go commute each way became a 15 min bus ride (that doesn't smell like piss) each way. Now that I have more time, I eat better, I work out, picked up new hobbies, and spent more time with friends and family. Instead of sitting in traffic after work, I drive an 1.5 and go night skiing after work at least once a week during the winter. These are things I value. If you like money, then you do you.
Would you take a 100k pay cut though? To me, 30k is almost (not quite) a wash between the bay and Seattle considering housing, tax, gas prices etc Of course being able to hit snoqualmie after work is nice, but some people value sunshine as well 😉
I definitely would take a 100k paycut if it's the difference between 250k and 150k. 150k is plenty for me and I'd save around 50k a year which is enough for me. The only thing I miss in Seattle from California is sun and good Mexican food. I'm getting use to the weather and I've found a handful of good tacquerias so it's not so bad.
How come you have a TC of 152k at Microsoft?also aren't both offers less than your current TC given you work at fb? Also what level at MSFT?
Uber's is higher but Microsoft's is lower than the current tc
MS offer is too low for your experience. Looks like new grad offer. What is the level?

??? One is literally 100k more and you don’t need to move (I’m sure you know it’s a pain in the ass, unless this ties into personal reasons)
