Finally I give up, going back to India.
I've a SDE II offer from Microsoft Azure and Twitter has scheduled an interview. Is it worth picking Twitter over Microsoft if I get an offer? Microsoft TC - ~190K #offer #compare
It all depends on Twitter TC tbh. What’s your YOE?
6 years
For 6 years lvl 61 is a little low. Is your experience in the US and in software engineering?
I would pick Twitter as they have free food and higher TC for the same level
They will definitely offer a higher TC than MS.
Yeah... Free food is especially relevant when we WFH and Twitter allowed indefinite WFH, LOL
i’d choose based on location and which team you like better
location is same, Seattle.
twitter satellite is probably very different than their hq. i don’t know specifics but i’d take that into account
Twitter is a dying company. Why would anyone join it or interview with it?
Based on my initial interviews with Twitter and Microsoft, I can say that the work seems more impactful at Twitter. Microsoft seems to have better job security.
Do you think Twitter has any future? What is the point of joining dying company?
Azure doesn’t have good wlb as the rest of the company. ROI is low compared with Twitter
Thanks! Any idea about Azure Identity team specifically?
Not familiar with it but it’s a new team and the JD sounds boring
Twitter!!!
Thanks! Any reason for picking Twitter
Twitter ain't going anywhere and if you think you'll be much more impactful there, it's a no brainer. Also consider much better TC and benefits. You can join msft anytime later.
Msft offer breakdown and yoe
L61 Base 140 Stock 80 / 4 Bonus 20 / 2 Relo 10 Performance bonus 20% cash + 10 % stock
6 yrs exp - 3 in US
Twitter.
Thanks! Why?
They (hiring manager) met you and lowballed you. If you join, they will remember you’re ok with that when comes connect times or think you’re desperate. It’s starting at -1 already. If/When you search for a job 2 years later, you’ll be an L62 with 8 years of experience = not on the high growth path. Why are you setting yourself for that? As L61 you’ll implement small features, have very limited exposure and impact. This, too will impact your future employability. Don’t think short term. Career is a long term game.
Twitter hands down.
Thanks! Since you work at Microsoft i would love to know why?
Is twitter still interviewing people? What role?
What level at MS? 61/62?
61
