Don't listen to them OP. Microsoft is leading innovation in AI. They're turning things quickly around very quietly. Congratulations on the offer! I see no reason why you wouldn't quit consulting and join a firm that's doing some real innovative work

Good for you, congrats op. I don't have anything more to add.

What is the salary? ~140K (according to Glassdoor anyways)

How did they find you?

Lot of opportunity there but also a lot of politics. Buddy works there in a similar role,and he's setting up global fraud teams in various parts of the world. If youre interested in international travel, its there. Worked there as a contractor once.

The answer highly depends on the product. Halolens, Xbox, Gaming division: giddyup! Anything in OS, Office, CRM, SharePoint: stay away.
