Should I go for GS considering frequent Layoffs at Microsoft? I am yet to negotiate more on the comp but wanted to decide which one to go for and then negotiate there.

You would be getting a minimum of 7lac performance since it’s for associate, also try to ask for relocation bonus mentioning about you and your parents that adds another 2-3lacs, base can go upto 32-33 but it’s a bit difficult since you don’t have competing offers, All the best
Go for GS. No brainer.
Not sure about GS comp in general, but MS is def low balling you. 21.5 base and L60 for a 3 YOE, demn
Agreed. Gs is also giving the entry level comp for Associate role
GS is good on comp and options. Wlb is bad at finance but considering recent layoffs, microsoft is risky anyway
Wlb is bad at finance companies
Excessively low balled, even I was low balled at GS recently (3 yoe).
What is the correct pay then at the associate level?
Congrats.
I feel gs is better but tell me one thing. That gs team uses java?
Yes, some services are in java
Go for GS for sure, my GS days were the best.
From then have worked at Amazon and OCI etc.
Pure perfomance play at GS and given layoffs at Microsoft which is happening all random and politics based.
