2 YOE and bachelors

Microsoft offer
120k base
120k RSUs over 4 years(30k/yr)
40k sign on (20k/yr first two years)
up to 20% bonus and peanuts refreshers
TC (120k + 30k + 20k (sign on) + 12k (bonus 10%) + peanuts) = ~185k first 2 years
Location: Atlanta, team Azure Compute

Oracle
140k base
4000 RSUs over 4 years (current valuation 45k/yr)
20k sign on
10k relo
no target bonus % and no peanuts
ML/AI Cognitive Services

TC (140k + 45k + 20k + 10k) = 215k first year, 185k after
Location: Seattle

Comp wise microsoft seems better, career wise I'm not sure. I'll be on the team in Atlanta building up azure compute on this coast, oracle will have me learning "cutting edge" ML/AI technologies. I have no ML/AI experience and am open to the TC possibilities of this field, but not sure which will end up making more TC in the long run.

What do you guys think

Curr TC ~130k in Atlanta

      Good point aparment prices are similar and when you compare it to the direct location of where microsofts office is in atlanta(in a more upscale part) it is quite similar. $1500 apartment in Atlanta is going to be a NICE NICE spot. If i want to live like average it would be 800-900/month.

      I do want to move and try a different city though

    How are you making 130k at equifax with 2yoe? Did you negotiate hard or go to a baller school.

      Idk luck? Manager liked me and knew i would leave within a few years (he left before me to aws and told me to leave asap) Got a 100k+ salary with 7 months of exp, plus target bonus. Also got a promo after a year and a half at equifax

      School is bad, i did negotiate but barely, i would guess because of my interview experience most likely.

  • Why say no to the opportunity to learn "cutting edge" AI ML?

      They ended up revoking the offer for “shifting business priority” but wouldve likely picked microsoft anyway. Too much uncertainty in their business sustainability and not sure what doors or how “cutting edge” it really is since i have no experience whatsoever
