hi folks, I have offers feom both Mckinsey and Microsoft to work as Engineer 2 and SDE II respectively. microsoft tc: 180k mckinsey tc: ~156k. If any of you know both companies, can you advise which move is going to be worth it? which company has a better brand from my resume and career? #sde #consulting
McK any day. The prestige alone is worth 100K
McKinsey is prestigious? Lmao you forgot the /s
You need to step out of your FB bubble. Wait you don't need to. Soon FB will hire McK to restructure.
Microsoft no question
Microsoft. Clear choice.
McKinsey for consulting. Not for SWE.
it's about the problems that the company works on what problems is Microsoft working on and what problem is Mckinsey working on? SWE are no different than problem solvers.
where you are in the hierarchy influences how much power you have in solving the problems. The SWEs at McK are a lower class than consultants so will always be at the whim of the consultants
CEO of McK will never be a tech person but for MS it is a tech person. I would chose MS, if I were you.
A lower tier workplace for software engineers AND lower TC? Tough choice
Are u okay comparing one of the best if not the best software company against some some place I’ve never heard of?!
Thanks guys, I’m even more undecided now. I am a good software engineer, but I’m not sure where I want to end up in the next 5 years. I’m not sure if I want to do tech forever or want to transition into the business side of things and be a CTO or something like that in the future. I do know that that I want to work for a reputable company, and I want my work to be appreciated.
MICROSOFT. You are not MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT so McKinsey is of no value.
No way to go to Mickinsey as a swe with low tc
