【Technology042】Why I choose Microsoft rather than WeChat
Barack

——Think about what I want to do after 3~5 years before I make the choice.

On November 5th, I made the final choice to accept the offer from Microsoft as a field engineer and reject the offer from WeChat as a product manager.

The two offer is hard to be compared. In some features, Microsoft looks more satisfying, eg. the workplace is in Shanghai rather than Guangzhou; the pay of WeChat is only 80% of the pay of Microsoft. But in other aspects, WeChat is more sound, eg. the open platform where I will work in WeChat is developing rapidly than Office 365 where I will work in Microsoft; WeChat is more quick-pace so that I can grow more quickly and get promoted more quickly.

The main point lies that I want to go to America for a master’s degree, MBA degree or a Ph.D. degree. I’m not sure now, but I tell myself I must do it in 3~5 years.

So, take into consideration the application for an American company and the benefit if I want to find a job in America after graduation. Microsoft seems like a better option.
