Been in Microsoft for 6 years and think later this year might be a good time to see the opportunities outside. However haven't done this for a while so want to get the community's input on what are the best ones around Seattle area. Currently a Machine Learning Engineer with 6 yoe. After my initial research, seems we don't have as many opportunities as in Bay Area. My impression is below: Established companies: Amazon/Google/Facebook Medium size companies: Uber/AirBnB Others: Cruise (autonomous driving... Yay) My question - is there any other high TC company that worth considering? Like Expedia/SAP/Concur (not sure how their TC look like but my impression is that they are not competitive unless they offer me a really interesting role). Thanks!
Oracle Cloud. At least meets your “high TC” criterion
Well I would recommend taking Expedia off your list. Pay is not comparable to other tech companies and environment overall is not great.
I’ve heard this from couple other people as well. Any people from Expedia to confirm or deny?
Confirmed

nVidia does ML in Seattle.
Apple has ML positions in Bellevue. Recruiter pinged me recently.
The trade desk is a small-ish)9 company that can offer pretty high TC
Apple
Snap, Lyft, Dropbox, Twitter

Careful about Snap. I had two friends who were laid off during last year's round, one who was just two months in.
