Got offer from Mastercard for senior role. Been at msft for less than a year. Interviewed due to rolling regular layoffs at msft in recession. Not sure if jumping is best idea. On h1b. I think col adjusted tc is same. I think mc has lots of contractors as shield fte TC 175K Redmond sde 2 Mastercard TC 140K o Fallon Missouri
Are you a contractor or a full time SWE? If full time SWE, you’d be crazy to switch to a tier 3 company like Mastercard
Whoops did the math wrong I think tc is like 190K to 205K. Need to get back on this
Hey OP, did you accept the offer ?
O'fallen is much cheaper than Redmond. Consider a 2 BR apartment in o'fallen is 1000-1200 whereas in redmond it is 25k. Also, life is much better with less harsh weather, cheap nightlife and clubs. However, Mastercard is more of an IT company and not as cool as Square/paypal/affirm etc. The upward movement is also slow.
When I checked seemed like o Fallon rent was climbing too. Like saw one bedroom at 1.3K
How were the interviews at Mastercard? Do they ask Leetcode?
