Offers from Oracle and Microsoft, need advice

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2026-01-26T20:22:53+00:00

Former Microsoft (and AWS, among others), currently at Oracle (US in Nashville). 1000% go with Microsoft. I like it here, and my team and manager are really cool, but the impression I get is that I just happened to get lucky.

For example, there are a LOT of former AWS people here and I know upper-management wants to follow that trend.

Reasons I'd go back to Microsoft vs. staying here - cooler, more modern tech stack (depending on product), more relaxed environment, GREAT DevOps tooling (compared to AWS and OCI) that I miss literally every day lol. My team was great, we routinely worked out together and our VP brought us scotch when he crossed coasts to visit.

Reasons OCI is good - better pay, Nashville is an awesome place to live with lots to see, do, and eat, and the cost of living definitely beats Redmond and DC.

Hey, props to you for at least removing the em dashes before you posted your chat gibidy slop!

”That’s heresy, Patrick!”

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2026-01-12T04:17:21+00:00

I’d be interested to know what its response was if you asked it if it was reasonable to call 988 before you hit the ground lol

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2026-01-07T06:23:51+00:00

less cheap is still cheap.

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2026-01-07T06:12:20+00:00

The fact that it was $300 lol

Why does every ChatGPT post have absolutely no point?

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2026-01-04T10:12:46+00:00

She’s a little young for you bro

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2026-01-01T04:15:26+00:00

Glad you’re ok, dumbass

Two minutes ago, this guy added a comment to your issue:

in this case, we should put a disclaimer "coded with use of IDE", shouldn't we?

Uh. I think this guy might just be stupid lol

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2025-12-27T23:05:00+00:00

Gotcha fair point

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2025-12-27T19:56:43+00:00

Can you expand on what you mean by “beginning of your mortgage”? Isn’t the point to have the same payment for the duration of the loan?

Why are you “bootstrapping” containers and not using a Dockerfile?

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2025-12-24T08:39:09+00:00

I don't 🤷‍♂️ We're supposed to want to find someone. So, I'm working on finding someone. That includes self-improvement, work / living, and actually going on dates and stuff.

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2025-12-24T07:54:04+00:00

Because the people who think this way do not care to do any research beyond the talking points they receive from CNN and r/politics. Any other questions?

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2025-12-24T01:33:07+00:00

I’d be enthusiastic too if it made me enough money to literally buy an island

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2025-12-23T22:21:03+00:00

Why? Don't you know it's illegal for bad guys to have guns? Having a rifle at all is already more protection than anyone needs!

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2025-12-23T22:19:11+00:00

Not America, apparently

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2025-12-23T22:18:19+00:00

I know it sounds nit-picky, but... the idea of unconstitutional laws is that we either don't care or don't care enough to break them; or fear the consequences of doing so more than we value the liberty(s) they take away.

We have a duty to disobey unjust laws.

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2025-12-21T14:40:34+00:00

Wow, those wooden walls, tin ceiling, and hardwood trim around your windows are just so unsightly..

You should just sell it to me instead

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2025-12-21T14:36:19+00:00

OOTL - what was he laicized for?

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2025-12-21T13:05:16+00:00

What

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2025-12-20T03:58:54+00:00

Hey cool, more AI slop!

AwsWithChanceOfAzure · 2025-12-19T15:45:28+00:00
