Hi everyone, I am currently working as SSE in an Expedia team in Gurgaon, India. I have received an offer from Microsoft Hyderabad for SSE role in E+D. I am slightly confused as which one to take. Reasons for confusion: 1. Work quality is not that great at Microsoft. In Expedia most of the tech stack is open-source and on interesting technologies. 2. Both are good in WLB 3. Now that travel is back on track, there is a good scope to grow in Expedia since a lot of new work would be coming. 4. CTC offered in Microsoft is much greater. 5. There is a bit of negativity within Expedia. It is evident on blind as well. 6. I might have a chance to apply for L65 in Microsoft after 3-4 years. Current CTC: ~45L Offered CTC: ~73L (approx number). 1. Perf Bonus not included. (0-30)% 2. Base: 49L. JB (First Year): 6L. Stocks: $100K/4. Current Yoe: 8
Expedia is negative company They will be soon eaten by booking com
Just like your name you will be tatti I wonder how you can judge without being in system
Whats the breakup that they offer at Microsoft afaik base is too low at microsoft and depends if you are fine with relocation

Looks good. Go for it. Try asking your manager if they can match it. If it can be matched that would be better. How much appraisal are you expecting for this cycle ? Maybe it can come closer 5o these numbers
The monetary difference is too big to deny Microsoft. Plus you say negativity in Expedia, leave that before it eats you up. So Microsoft it is
