Had offers from MS (TC: 250k) and Uber (TC:300k). Declined MS offer because I thought it was low, but then regretted it because of the WLB and commute. Asked back for it, but it was gone.
Super sad now :( Is there anything I can do?

  • 50k is not worth choosing U over M. esp if you have a family.

    I assume you live in redmond. Dnt expect 1 hour commute unless you are commuting off hours. Expect more like 1:20mins. Gets worse during winter (rain + dark).

    MS campus is by farrrrrrr better than uber office in seattle.

    WLB is pretty good at MS in general. I used to do 8 to 3 and was a top performer. They just dont put too much work on you.

    Culture is better at MS. Its humane its family its friends culture vs cut throat competitive.

    MS has better value on your resume in my opinion.

    MS is more respected and loved company vs uber which has pretty bad image as a company.

    250 is still lots of money.

      OP
      Whatever you said is true, but it's not answering my question: Is there anything I can do now to get the offer back?

    • I dnt think u have a shot with current hiring team since they already hired someone else. My advice would be go ask recruiter to find other teams or contact different recruiters for different teams. Or use network.
