Jaded, purely looking for work hour flexibility and ability to coast. Willing to be efficient, but no more than 15 hour per week. Assume comp is similar ballpark and doesn’t matter.

61/MTS/L3/L4

Which is best to coast with as little work as possible? Team suggestions welcome if applicable (e.g. office > azure for M, search > cloud for G)

    If the priority is less work hours, Salesforce is your best bet among the other ones in your list. Having worked in Microsoft for 7 years in 4 different teams, I can say that Microsoft WLB is very much org dependent and varies a lot with some orgs having huge work pressure. Even Salesforce WLB is team dependent, but majority of them are having good WLB. Google also seems to be similar to Microsoft based on couple of my friend’s experiences

      @vikvik I don’t want to tell the org, as it makes me less anonymous :). But yes, I did experience decent level of growth here, including a recent promotion to pmts and handling bigger responsibilities. In terms of learning, it is definitely lesser than my previous companies, but I don’t care much about it, my priority is to have a decent WLB and of course some good work. I’ve been lucky to get multiple projects to GA over last couple of years

    Ex-salesforcer who’s now at square. You definitely can’t coast at square. It’s not nightmare WLB but it’s no rest and vest either.

    If you want to do meaningful work and still coast, that’s Google. Then comes Microsoft.

    If you don’t care about tech stack, or career growth much and want to lead a very comfortable life, choose Salesforce

    Microsoft will always win in coasting/WLB polls.
