  • Tiktok might be good if you want some ML experience. But think about the recent Chinese tech crackdown (like alibaba, didi), Tiktok is in a dangerous territory...
    Unless you speak Chinese and believe that the crackdown will end soon (which I don't think so given the current political climate), otherwise MSFT is a better choice. I got an offer from Tiktok but turned it down after weighing the risks.
    For MSFT you will probably learn nothing much though.

    Tiktok will be over in another 2 yrs. They have nothing basically. Full hype and no substance

  • Always write the total TC after the breakdown, no one does so much of calculations

  • Tiktok has more interesting use cases IMO, learning how their infra handles being the most popular site in the world would be a great skill to learn and showcase to future employers
