Hi, I'm a new grad and I'm trying to leave amz and I get 2 offers below. Both Seattle area. Splunk cloud P2 TC 195K Microsoft Azure 60 TC 165K Obviously Splunk offer is pretty solid for a ng but I heard "In splunk, a lot of good talent have left and the product culture is utterly miserable" from blind somewhere? And the Splunk's stock price is not performing well, e.g. has down 16% year to date. I'm concerned about the reorg/lay-off things might happen in next few years although the leaderships from Splunk are really confident about their future. My main questions are: 1. Is Microsoft more stable for employee without h1b (currently opt and I highly doubt I can win the lottery in next few years due to low probability < 30%)? At least msft is a giant global company. 2. Will Microsoft offer more opportunities for exploring various teams? I don't interested in my current team's projects but I'm considering internal transfer after join the company. It should be hard to transfer internally in Splunk. So I’m not sure if going for the big package from Splunk makes more sense here, I guess stability is incompatible with TC? Both companies should provide good career growth for ng based on my understandings. Any thoughts highly appreciated! #microsoft #splunk #newgrad #seattle #offer #career #softwareadvice #swe
Splunk won't do layoffs, cloud is so in shortage of people. And seattle org is the heart of cloud. Career path is great for new grad, you can get to senior smoothly if you perform well. Refreshers is also super good, probably only facebook can beat it.
Thanks bro. It is a good company unquestionably. Im just little concerned with the future after transitioning to cloud.
I get you man. Yes honestly I am also not sure about the long term direction of the company during and after transition. But mid term (2-3 years) cloud is the center and I would not worry about the stability at all if you are part of cloud org.
Hi OP, can I DM you?
How many months at Amazon?
