i have not read all the responses. your question was one of the reasons i got an accont at slashdot.
i don't claim or hope to understand your situation. As someone pointed out, you probably got the job of a janitor or maybe even the lead IT dude. i don't know. This reply assumes you are another computer science engineer.
This is an honest response to your question.
you have two options, not the firms, but life choices. you can join microsoft, and we all know (even if we all don't agree), you have a "secure" future, based on one of your choices. Microsoft isn't going to go away in any foreseeable future.
Google would be fun to work for, but will come with the pain of irregular hours of work, which a young blood like yourself might not realise now, but will surely feel, once you have what is called a life.
I maybe the devil's advocate in all this, but seriously, if you are not the type to stand up and be counted, go with microsoft.
A simple test would be to, as someone pointed out earlier, and i honestly reccommend, (and as he said, you won't get your youth again), go walk thru tibet or any other such desolate space on this earth, or even, and i don't reccommend this, a real place of misery like darfur, iraq, somalia or any other such countless lands and i sincerely hope you see more than what you have known. Hey! there's a reason why even the car insurance companies won't bring down your rates unless you are 25 and above.
For a whole lot explanation that can fit in here, you are better off staying with people you love and doing work that gives you enough time to be with them.
