Google L3

- Full Stack title but front end heavy work
- Base 133 K, Stock: 209 K front loaded
- Google Meet

Microsoft SDE-2 (Level 61)

- Base 145 K, stock 140 K, sign on 40 K
- majorly backend C#, scala, spark
- Identity in Cloud+AI org

Yoe:2

- Google was/is my Dream company. The happiness I got after clearing Google interviews was unmatched to any offers I got till now.
mind trying it.
- Google's on call is super light and I know some people in the org- work seems chill
- I am not super passionate about Front end work . Tbh, I have never given it an honest try. So I don't
- Microsoft work looks more interesting to me. I have studied Spark and Scala in university but never used it in industry.
- Both places have new tech stack and new work. I am always excited for learning new things.
- also having imposter syndrome for Microsoft SDE-2. Honestly I was just looking for a switch and tried a higher level. What if I am not good enough and I underperform?
- Not sure about the WLB of identity team, WLB IS IMPORTANT TO ME! I HAVE A LIFE.
- Both offers are in WA (seattle/Bellevue/Kirkland)

Current Tc : 200K



@microsoft people:
1. How's this org? WLB?
2. How's the offer? Any scope of negotiation?

@all:
1. Help me make a good career choice. Looking to learn, while having a fun stress free life.
