Who are these retards asking for dictatorship in India?
I am thinking about leaving Microsoft for FB or Google. I have been in Microsoft for 3 years now, and I have another 3 years of w.e. I am in Level 61 and TC 180K. Overall I don't have any complaints, but I think I could get a better pay by switching. There is obviously the prestige of being in FB/Google that is also a big part of my motivation. What do you guys think? Should I start LC, or should I stay where I am comfortably?
Prestige is a trap. But if you want to join Facebook to maximize TC, you’re ultimately going to risk WLB depending on which team you end up joining.
But I would then be easily able to move teams right?
When you first join you have to stick with the team you picked for a year. Afterwards, switching teams should be easy although getting promo if you switch is hard.
dude that's like half of Microsoft's wet dream. Go for it
You had me at prestige 🤣
I was in the same boat. Made me switch to google a month ago. Google gave TC almost twice I got at microsoft. It’s totally worth to switch now.
Which level?
Level 61 @ microsoft to L4 @ google
If you can, you should. Higher TC comes with higher competition though. Study carefully the types of questions asked. LC is not everything. Once you get to these tier 1 companies, you would wonder why were you losing your time at Microsoft. By the way, Microsoft WLB is not that great either and varies from team to team. The company keeps the layoffs, adding additional stress level.
So Tier1 companies are MSFT employees who did LeetCode? What’s the point? Determination to show practice makes perfect? I’m genuinely curious. I don’t think Google outside of Search and Waymo is Tier1 ... it’s just like Microsoft
Agreed with Borat! Fb and G both pay a lot and ask LC hard questions and claim their “high hiring bar” and that’s today’s definition of how prestigious an org is.
Don’t underestimate how hard promo is at google. Rest and vest is ok here, but if you want to get any promo in a reasonable amount of time say goodbye to wlb
Sometimes you need a ton of luck especially from 4 to 5 promo. It took me ~3 years to get from L4 to 5 at G.
Why do these questions even exist? Was OP just trying how to poll ... Lol
I'm thinking about getting more TC, should I do it? ✅ start LC!!! ❌ keep TC!!
Joined as new grad ?
No, did bachelors, masters, then 3 years of exp, then joined.
