  • Microsoft doesn’t sound like a lowball at all. That’s the typical pay for new grad

    What a bunch of wusses.

    I would highly recommend AWS because it's like working out with added weights.

    Yes, it is hard. You'll learn a lot and come out even stronger.

    Think of it as a training ground and be on your toes for 2 years and keep leetcoding etc.

    Worst case if shit hits the fan, you are prepared and can easily get job interviews with AWS on resume.

      You clearly suck at considering worst case.
      Worst case is Amazon has sucked whole life out of you, you're too burnt out from working 24x7, don't even get time to prepare for interview and your manager is going to pip you. That's not my imagination, many folks have posted this on blind, do consider that before saying 'iTs aLL tEAm dEpENdeNT'.

      @Amazon I actually do agree with you. AWS is awesome on the resume especially if you find the right team. May I DM you? Have a couple questions

  • The MSFT bonus won’t be 20% unless you are an absolute rock star. Assume 10%.

    It’s a new grad offer, how much do you want, $1m?

    For context: SWEs make less than that with a decade of experience in parts of the US.

    Microsoft 20% bonus is bull crap. That’s the max bonus and would be a miracle to get that in your first year.
    Also, from my personal experience, never start low, hikes and rises with internal promo in any company sucks
