#tech Curious to know your thoughts.
Openai ?
Why is this even a question?
It’s not even close. Hiring bar is in hell for Microsoft
Microsoft has a few old timers, pre-pandemic hires who could hold their own against Google But the pandemic hiring bar was on the floor and a lot of questionable folks at MS.
There are small number of very talented folks. But it’s a miracle Microsoft does as well as we do with such sh*t talent. Some people here can barely code and has such flashy technical titles.
I would say Microsoft talent is lower than Amazon also (based on the interview experience and offer).
Msft has to constantly uplevel candidates to close out offers. Some teams just hire people out of fear of headcount being lost. Pandemic hiring in some teams was questionable
All you have to do is compare gmail vs hotmail/outlook. Neither are perfect but one product is vastly superior to the other.
It’s not even close. Microsoft talent is very low compared to Google in most teams.
