Staff SWE at google. Got L66 offer from Microsoft. Team and culture are good at Google with free food and other perks. Current TC: 500k New TC : 550k Is it worth to move to Microsoft? Not even sure if the TC is worth it 😂 Update: Location : Seattle YOE: 15
Refreshers at msft are low
Not worth an extra 50k pretax
Do not recommend Microsoft: low refreshers, bad perks compared to Google
Unless having a bad time at Google and need to leave just stay
Higher TC better stock Depending on the team, i would say move
550k from 500k doesn’t seem like much😏
Run away from MSFT. It has become a dinosaur. 50K more is not a lot. Go to Uber, DoorDash, Meta for more perks, benefits, and appreciating stocks. I made 3x by leaving MSFT for the same role.
