I have accepted an offer from Microsoft for different location and I am planning to not join it.
I have a similar offer from ARM in my current location.
Previously I was ok to migrate to a new location but now I don't think I need to. I don't want to actually leave the MS offer but when I look at my 1.5 yrs old son I feel staying at my current location with ARM makes better decisions.
MS has offered me flexibility but ARM has ensured I will stay where I am now.
My wife is also working with ARM. I don't want to leave my family and stay in a new location without them.
Heart says MS.
Brain says ARM.
Should I try to convince Microsoft HR and HM to give me a position in the current location? If yes, any tips on how?
If I refuse to join, will MS blacklist or not consider me next time?
