Seeing the recent layoff and bonus cut here at MSFT a bit disappointed tbh. Having an offer from UBER but worried about the WLB also heard from the team member the avg working hour is 50h per week. Should I leave? Or should I stay and keep interviewing? h1b worker with 140. TC differences: +60k WLB: 30h -> 50h
As someone who is already working ~50 hours at MS, id say go
What team at MS?
Me too :( >50h
LET ME ASK U THIS WOULD YOU PAY 60k a year to live an extra 20 hours * 52 weeks? Basically you paying 60k to live another 1040 hours a year.
Interesting way to put it
Considering I am rather young actually I don't mind put more hours to work, but 50h per week is still a bit too much to me personally
$60K+ doesn’t help decide if it’s worthwhile. $140K -> $200k is completely different from $400k -> $460k.
But 30h->50h is more concerning in your situation under this economy: you can build trust by working 40h in a 30h team; while it’s less possible to work extra hard when you join a 50h team
That is so true
What’s you level, op? L62?
Bro just work where u at! You’re a H1B so don’t be greedy! Moreover if u get laid off at Uber, you’ll be thrown back to where u came from so better is be happy in what u getting and wait fir the market to get back normal
Why do you assume you'll have a 50h workweek at Uber? I know plenty of people at MS who say they woke 50h.
I asked one of the team member from the org
That guy is probably an idiot. Who the hell really works like that? Either they have way too many meetings (don’t join) or this person is extremely inefficient.
OP, your Uber offer is 200k? Is this for a dev role? Also, what level?
my msft friends say you can't put a price on wlb. 😢
Location and YOE please?
