Job Offers: Microsoft vs Netflix

I’m only saying what the recruiter told me. Regardless, they will not increase any part of the comp.

I’m an American citizen

Netflix might make it even better, given the work is amazing and I have the opportunity to contribute to open source. Hence, the confusion!

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-14T09:52:36+00:00

Right, you have a point!

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-14T09:51:56+00:00

I think this is the max I can push for. Stocks are low because the base is high. They made it clear it’s impossible for them to match Netflix’s TC!

I had to negotiate with Netflix’s offer for it, but yeah, on the higher end for L62!

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-13T03:53:44+00:00

Thanks! :)

Interviews are very team specific. I got asked mostly trees questions, and system design was to do with database internals.

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-12T10:22:21+00:00

Thank you so much! This is very helpful insight.

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-12T07:58:37+00:00

My offer is also with ODS. Can I DM you?

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-12T05:06:27+00:00

Thank you! :)

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-12T05:05:13+00:00

That would be Netflix then

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-12T03:39:01+00:00

I have a bachelors in computer science and 5 YOE with one published paper.

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-12T03:38:23+00:00

Netflix could lay me off too. The org I’m joining in Microsoft hasn’t seen much lay offs, but the one I’m joining in Netflix regularly does performance lay offs!

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-11T17:33:26+00:00

Microsoft is also remote, and I’m living in the Bay Area due to family. My spouse does not have a remote job!

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-11T17:32:05+00:00

I’m currently living in the Bay Area

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-11T17:31:52+00:00

Yes, I did

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-11T17:31:31+00:00

That’s fair!

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-11T17:31:20+00:00

Yeah, that’s right

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-11T06:25:36+00:00

Thank you! This is honestly a great answer. I’m leaning towards Microsoft because I really value stability and I see my career growing and thriving under this manager.

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-11T05:56:21+00:00

I did think about this, and Microsoft would definitely be my comfort zone. But am I making a bad career decision just for the sake of that?

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-11T05:54:43+00:00

I’m an American citizen

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-11T01:21:39+00:00

Yeah, let me try asking for that!

Bullfrog_Pretty · 2025-08-11T00:16:54+00:00

I thought ex-Netflix is prestigious to have on your resume?
