I received offers from Slack Bloomberg and Microsoft for Summer 2020 internship. Aiming for a FT return offer and wondering which would be a better career move. TC: -40k
I heard Slack pays a lot. Doing an internship there would be a good way to get a foot in the door.
Slack has lost almost 50% of it's value since IPO. Office suite is shipping with products that are a direct competition to Slack. Surprised at the poll results.
MSFT. Slack might not survive, sadly
Bloomberg pays all cash and has great WLB. Voted MSFT for the name though. depends what you’re looking for and what matters to you
Such polls can be misleading just due to the fact there are probably 20 times more msft employees on blind compared to say Bloomberg!
And people in both the valley and NY will have heard of Slack but valley people and even some NY people unlikely to have heard of Bloomberg.
I guess NYC people should probably know Bloomberg surely I believe! But, I agree with your observation in general.
I'm pretty sure everyone in NY has year of Bloomberg. And most places.

I am too emotional about my parents. Feeling overwhelmed
Hard to say without knowing what you’ll be doing in those companies. Do you have a background for each team?
Not 100% sure but will be pushing for ML at Slack, IoT at Microsoft, and Financial Analytics at Bloomberg
I would go for Slack then.
