Trying to decide between these two offers SoFi (Senior SWE): 190k Base/15% annual bonus/300k equity over 4 years TC: ~290k Microsoft(L62): 159k base/10% annual bonus/170k equity over 4 years/75k sign on bonus split 45-30 TC: ~260k first year, 245k second year TC accounting for Microsoft comp benefits (401k/HSA/ESPP): 275k first year, 260k second year Worth noting that SoFi comp is adjusted down to around 270k if I move outside of SF/NY/Seattle, which is something I’m considering, whereas Microsoft’s wouldn’t change if I were to go to most major metros (or potentially up in NY/SF) YOE: 4 TC: 🍌
Microsoft. Sofi is a failing company
Fintech bubble has popped. While some companies will emerge stronger (e.g. PayPal, Square), Sofi will most likely fail.
MSFT stock >>> Sofi ..
Under no circumstances should you choose SoFi over Microsoft.
How were your SoFi interviews? Have one coming up
Sofi. Good base, higher stock growth potential over 4 years, challenging work due to early stage vs MS . And you are already coming from Amazon, so your resume would look good regardless
SoFi gives more refreshers and likely higher TC w/ stock appreciation. MSFT for stability & “brand name”.
What are the chances of Sofi stock doubling vs MSFT doubling?Sofi is a $5bn company..Msft has to go from 2trillion to 4trillion for you to have the same gain..sofi has good refreshers too...even on the tech side you will be using c#,azure, windows..I don’t know if any new tech company that uses this stack other than Roblox..
Microsoft >>>>SoFi I left SoFi for Microsoft.
YOE and offer level for both?
Updated!
Both offers are pretty competitive. I would say it depends on your risk tolerance. Sofi stock is a lot more volatile, it has gone down by 70% or something this year. So it’s risky but better upside potential as well.
