Any insight into working as CSA for Microsoft? Got positive feedback from the interview and expecting an offer for L63. Currently a SM in Deloitte with 213K as base. Very good WLB and have a good network. It might take 4-5 years to become a MD. Just worried to leave the network at D and start fresh in MSFT. Is it worth to leave D for a pay cut?

A pay cut? No. They should pay you around what you’re making for it to be worth it.

I am still waiting for the offer but the recruiter mentioned the upper slab for base might be around 205K.

Location for Deloitte?

Why leave D?

Thanks M1 for the inputs. The current project am working on has really very good WLB. Fortunately, I haven’t seen a >45 hr week in the last 4 years. I am a SM1. Overall comp seems to be attractive. Even though base seems low, with stocks TC will be at least 100k higher. I am just worried to leave my comfort zone since I have a decent network here. The thought that I might leave a good opportunity to get into MSFT is bothering me as well. I am just not able to decide between the two 😭😭😭

CSA is an IC and tech specialist role, are you sure about this?

Thanks D1 for the inputs. I will consider these points in the decision making process.

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.

My friend just got out of a relationship and hooked up with his ex's best friend a week later. They're now dating and seeing each other everyday.
I couldn't help but feel like this wasn't an appropriate thing to do for both parties. He also revealed that he cheated on his past exes.

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?

Been with Big Four advisory (GRC) for 10 years. Really tired of meaningless “consulting” and commoditized implementations. Recently been through a rough job search and finally landed an offer with a mid size bank in their risk practice. People say that the culture there is quite political and bitter but I’ll learn a heck lot and get a new opening on my resume. Salary is the same. The other option is to take a consulting job that pays me 50k more but do the same work! Thoughts? Thanks!
