Getting an offer from Google after spending 1 year in Microsoft

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.

You are still young. Go build your good connections in Google. If needed you can always come back to Microsoft. Google brand is better. It should be no brainer decision for you to go to Google. There is office politics everywhere.

Go to Google. The work culture in MS has been terrible since last year. Deteriorated after the security sprint. At least you'll get paid for the work you are putting in

Google lowballing

Heard from someone that Google is extensively lowballing new hires, providing way lesser average base pay and stock grant as compared to 2023/2022. They are taking advantage of a bad job market. Is the brand name still worth it?
