Is it worth making a switch to Microsoft? Offer from MSFT for Principal Data Scientist (L65) in Raleigh, NC

Offer Base - $190K
Bonus - 20%
RSU - $160K (over 4 years)
TC = $268K

My current TC -
Base - $195K
Bonus - 7%
Stock - $25K per year

You know that this is a better offer. But if you aren’t ready for a change, then a bunch of people on the internet confirming that it’s a good offer may not be enough to get you to switch.

Microsoft is a stronger player in your field and I think it’s better for your career growth. As previously mentioned, you need to be ready for a shift- if you don’t like it, Salesforce loves boomerangs but leave on good terms!!!

What are your thoughts on pay discrepancies based on family structure? Ex. Two people do the same job but one is paid more or given a larger bonus “because they have kids and you live alone” or “because their family is struggling”. Is that an ethical factor if both employees do the same job at the same pace, quality, etc?

Hi all, I’m currently a solution architect with 1yoe and two bachelors degrees. I also hold two cloud certifications and make 60k a year.
