Its fascinating how much lower Microsoft compensation appears to be compared to others, even Amazon. I guess the stock has been doing well, but can Microsoft truly attract the best talent with these numbers?
Is working for Amazon really worth a slight pay bump? I feel like MS would at least recognize you're a human.
Plus you know less destroying the world
Less destroying the world by harvesting user data and integrating ads as part of the operating system?
Still kind of amazing to me, after living through the 90s, Microsoft being considered one of the "nice" technology companies.
Most people find Amazon to be an overall improvement to the world. Not everyone is as lazy as the French or a privacy activist, the majority of people like having things that add value or convenience over old ways of doing things and they understand that not every job is a cakewalk.
Right got it. Most people are mindless consumers who want to consume more efficiently. And thankfully Amazon is right there to help with all of my consumption needs!
Also, what's up with the dig at the French dude?
I think they can, look at TypeScript and VSCode. Something is going right.
And .NET and Office.
That's 0.01% of Microsoft
I have heard that Microsoft offers a much better work life balance.
Who says Microsoft wants to attract the best talent?
Anyone who has top use windows and its apps can answer this.
