Hello! I got 2 new grad offers from Tableau and Microsoft Tableau: 144k 100k stonk/4 yr 25k start bonus Microsoft (ODSP): 110k 120k stonk/3.5 yr 30k start bonus I could probably negotiate Microsoft to 150k stocks/3.5 yr (max) 50k start bonus (over 2 years) Not sure which to pick, it seems like Tableau would be obvious, but I’m wondering if Microsoft would have better resume value, as i plan on moving to a high growth startup after 1 year.

Dude go to Tableau. Only choose Microsoft if you're thinking about a long term career. As in, in 5 years you'd think you'll still be here, getting promotions and such. But Microsoft for 1-2 years on a resume will make interviews at FAANG and such easier in terms of getting recuriters to notice. It really depends on how much the money matters to you right now. Microsoft for long term career planning. Tableau for immediate benefits, also Tableau may not be well known by average people but people who follow tech know who they are and that the product is quality.
Tableau is owned by the best software company right now
🧢
Best at what exactly?
You won’t be able to negotiate the stocks to 150k, but 50k signing is possible Btw is your Tableau offer in Bay or Seattle?
Bay!
Op what did you choose?
Tableau
It’ll take you 4 years to get to a base pay of 144k in Microsoft.
True! But I’m planning to leave both after the first year so I’m really just concerned with how much I earn in the first year, and if there is a difference in resume value between the two (planning on joining a high growth startup after)
