Switching from Microsoft to Google is common and seen positively. Google values experience from top tech firms. The hiring process is rigorous, involving multiple interviews. Your current CTC is competitive, but Google might offer more.

Offer Evaluation

Application Engineer

I have worked at Microsoft for a year at L59, got the job through campus selection. 
Despite of a lot of hard work, my manager said there is not much hope to promote me to L60 even after 6 more months.
I landed an offer in Google, with 25 percent increase in inhand salary and almost same valued stock component as in my current CTC.
Despite of the salary change being so good, I’ve had people telling me that this is not a good time to switch to Google because:
1. The laying off secenario at Google 
2. The work life balance has become terrible there in the past year
3. There is a lot of office politics there, so bad working environment in general 
4. Microsoft Stocks have a lot more potential than Google stocks

Please share your opinions on Google vs Microsoft.
Thanks.

Getting an offer from Google after spending 1 year in Microsoft

Data scientist

Hi,

I am planning to join Microsoft India next month as a SWE 2 (L61/L62) and I am pretty excited about it. I have aspirations and dreams to moving to US (I know its not that amazing and India is great but I wanna go due to family).
I know if you are lucky and spend enough time in a company, such as Amazon, you may get that chance. I used to work at Amazon IN but I was laid off cause JWO.

Can someone working at Microsoft India, make this move in lets say 2-3 years or more if they perform well, keep their manager informed about these plans and lurk for opportunities.

I very well know that the answer may be a big NO but I thought to just ask for opinions.

Thanks in Adv

TC: 42 LPA in IN
YOE: < 3

MSFT India to MSFT US

Software Developer

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I work for a early stage startup (A) right now since about 1.5yrs at base 18lpa (no appraisal since my tenure even though I was told they have a bi-annual cycle, but It never happened)

I have another company (B), willing to offer base 28lpa (but will require relocation). 

I still haven't interviewed at B, and was wondering if i can should talk to A asking for an appraisal? I'm also not sure if i should mention about B at all. 

How much i understand A will be like let us launch something and then we can talk about appraisals, but this has been going on since a year now and we tend to change the architecture or the methodology everytime we almost have something ready to ship. 


That being said still I'd rather stay at A than relocate for B at the moment. 

How should I go about this, any suggestions? TIA

How should I ask for a raise?

Current tc: 30L 3yoe product. 7 in total.

Will be starting a loop with Google, and in process with MSFT.

What level will microsoft map? L61/L62? And any ballpark estimate of comp in the past six months. Can’t rely on previous data. Also would Google L4 be able to beat msft comp? I am not keen on pursuing L4 at Google and L5 seems a stretch.

Thanks in advance.

Hi. I have my interviews with Microsoft  and Google for sde2 roles. My primary reason of switch is hybrid work mode since GS has 5 days WFO. Are all teams at Google and Microsoft still hybrid? Which is better for long term stay?

Need help!!

Contemplating between an offer at Google vs a Series A startup, in India, with similar pay.

I'm curious to know if Google as a name on the resume (or for future prospects) is still as big as it was maybe 5-8 years ago? 

Or is India just a low cost employee centre for them and it'll always be down-the-stream work, at the whims of middle/senior managers?

YoE: 4
Role: Analytics

Happy to hear any thoughts (and answer any questions)!

Is Google/FAANG still as sought after?

80L for 3+ YOE? Too inflated?

Consultant

Is it a good time for early in career(1.5 YoE) to join Google India. I am curious about their current culture like WFH policies, management outlook, direction of company, growth opportunity etc in Bangalore offices only.

What can you tell as an insider to someone on the outside looking at Google for possible next switch.

Also, are there opportunities to shift from Bangalore to other location outside India?

Folks at GoogleIndia, what can you share?

How to Get Google PM interview short list ?

For the coming cycle, are Google and Microsoft planning to hire interns or FT freshers from on-campus recruitment? Microsoft did a aggressive intern hiring last time. Google went on freeze quite early on. Have things changed in terms of hiring interns and freshers?

How are things at Google and Microsoft?

A paradise for rest and vest people on the right team
- Do under 40 hours and get normal rating
- System is self healing, you can break something and don’t care
- Deadlines are a joke
- No responsibility
- Can ignore pings and care about anything

A nightmare for career growing mindset people
- Tech island
- Hard work are all abstracted away
- Promo is too fucking complicated
- Overhired and slow growth equals to slow promo
- Politics growing everyday. Basically hunger game to fight for impact and projects

Google is not the same anymore, things are changing rapidly & soon it will be worse.

Google is..
