Maybe an average or a bit above average engineer at Microsoft, but passed G interviews. Hearing all these scary stories about getting fired in the first 6 months due to quota. Maybe I am not good enough for Google, so just stay in MSFT? MSFT team - Azure AAD (WLB not super great, but almost never work more than 40h a week) G team - Google Cloud AI TC: 200k New TC: 260k (but not really all that better if I get fired fast)
YOE?

Google pay is actual shit
What quota?
I keep hearing about quota and new GRAD system that puts almost 10% of employees into PIP or possible PIP.
What level?
L4
G L4 or L5? And yes our pay gone to shit, even without/before stock crash
You'd be surprised, we had been handing out 280-290k for L5 in premium plus locations.
I thought google doesn’t fire easily?
New GRAD policy has changed this.
Is it only for L3's?
Why are you considering moving for just 60k? It doesn’t sound like a whole lot of difference to me
Yeah, but just want to try something new I guess. But sure, I don't want to move if I risk getting fired fast.
Dont worry ..just go for it ..its not so bad and you can survive , learn and bommerang
I interned at MSFT and work at Google now, I didn’t get the vibe that one was more difficult than the other. GCP I’ve heard can be a little rougher in terms of on call rotations, but I’m not sure it’s much more difficult. Even if you do bad, it’ll be a while before you get PIP’d.
Is this true with new PIP as well?
In the years that I’ve been here, I have literally never seen someone get fired, even with the changes. The only things I’ve seen concretely change are: 1) slashed travel budget 2) slower hiring 3) slight reduction in MK snack quality People are acting like we’re destitute, we only barely missed earnings for one quarter lol
