Bye Bye Microsoft

Apr 2 21 Comments

Coming week would be my last week in Microsoft.
My CTC just got doubled in new company. Its not even an year for me in Microsoft.

Pros ( in my view ):
1. WLB ( that too is team dependent and position dependent. The SRE’s in my team are working day in and day out )
2. People around.

Below are my reasons to quit -

Cons ( in my view ):
1. Legacy systems
2. Monoliths
3. Pay ( I’m from a middle class Indian family, this is a driving factor for us. I’m infact ready to screw my WLB for some better pay )
4. Slow growth ( Every position has 2 levels )
5. Adhoc projects with strict deadlines

My question for new joiners in Microsoft is-

1. What’s the driving force for you ppl to join Microsoft? ( Is it Brand? Because thats the same reason for me )

My question for current employees is-

1. What’s that which is compelling you to stay in Msft? ( Stocks? Work? )

Current TC: 35-37L
New TC: 70-72L
Yoe: 3
