Before joining Adobe I worked only a year in Oracle(Left because my team was mostly in US and most of the meetings I had to attend in nights) and 5yrs in Red hat.
Now I am planning to leave Adobe before completing 1 yr. I know that I have to return joining bonus and leave stocks which is $25k this year. In Adobe work is kind of legacy type of work nothing is there to innovate but wlb is good.
Now I got opportunity in Microsoft Azure data org where growth will be better and lot of things to learn but it is going to hurt wlb. I am not able to conclude what should I do? Please suggest.

Adobe TC : 45L(base and bonus) + $100k/4yrs
Level : CS2 (7yoe)

MS TC is not yet disclosed. Level (L63).

    I'm in the exact situation where I joined Cisco 8 months back. Nothing new to learn, just some low code stuff there.

    Now having an offer from Azure data governance team. Waiting to hear back the numbers.

    I think it's okay to leave since there is a lot of potential to learn and grow. WLB would definitely be hurt, but that is a price we have to pay for our career progression.

    @OP- im also in a similar situation where i want to leave a new company within 6 months. Just curious did Microsoft ask you why you are leaving Adobe in 7 months ? If yes what did you give as reason?

      Yeah they did ask and reason I gave that I am doing some legacy stuff, fixing bugs only in old codes. Nothing new to innovate because product is already saturated. Shown interest in cloud technology and distributed systems.

    How much questions were on the existing projects - since you were in Adobe for not very long, I am assuming not much work to be discussed around the current work and mainly DS, HLD. I am looking to leave early also, and was thinking interviews might not go well because of the above issues. Any pointers?

      They didn't ask anything about my projects. There were 4 rounds all were design rounds and at the end of each design round they asked 1 coding question.
      First 2 round were HLD, 3rd round was mainly focused on theoretical distributed systems and 4th round was managerial but he asked low level design.
