Ask HN: Whether to join in Microsoft or continue in growing startup?
Hi,
I am presently working as Senior Engineer in one of the Indian growing startups. I learned a lot of new tech stacks and contributed well in the organisation. Even my company CTO knows about my work and query about my status to my manager. For few months, I am not seeing interesting work as I am bored of what I am doing for quite sometime close 2 years.
I got an offer from Microsoft C&E team where they are building one interesting new product. However, they are saying they are ok to move me to Redmond in next year [not promised yet]. For sure, the office known for Work Life Balance and easy going life. Compensation is not high as startups offer more stocks and the valuation is good.
MS PROS:
* Better work life balance and completely new tech stack. Learning curve good be interesting
* US opportunity and till that point I will be moving back to my hometown to work
CONS:
* 5yrs of current stack experience
* Current recognition in office
Neutral:
* Compensation is not that high enough to move unless if they shift me to Redmond.
