Hi. I have two offers in my hand(Seattle based Unicorn FTE and Microsoft 18 months contract role).
I would love to join the startup but it is 1 hr 15 mins away from my home during rush hour. As much as I want to work for a passionate unicorn, work life balance is very important to me because I have a 2 year old. I cant deal with the guilt of dropping him off at 8 and picking him up at 6.
Msft contract on the other hand is WFH coz they dont have a desk for me 😒. The manager seemed to care less. I live in Redmond and I really wanted a Eastside company to work out but things are not aligning the way I want. I'm finding it hard to let go of startup because they seemed fantastic but i'll be miserable with the commute.
I was a FTE at Amazon and it worked out okay because of shuttles. Im on H4 ead so no visa restrictions here. Startup is paying a bit more in $ compared to MSFT hourly. Msft contract doesnt seem exciting at all but no commute seems like a great idea at this point in life.
Help, please. I'm so torn
