At Google / Meta / Microsoft , what are the teams that have a center of gravity in Seattle?

I imagine every major team at Microsoft has its core in Redmond/Seattle area.

For Meta, the only one I'm familiar with is Messenger infra (RTC + Assistant) as I worked with those teams at Portal. The assistant org might be absorbed into AML org though (AI & Machine Learning) which is based in Menlo Park I think.

Zooming out, there isn't a huge difference between Seattle and SF Bay Area in terms of opportunity IMHO. They're both top-tier tech hubs.

When it comes to thinking about location and career, I recommend these as well:

• "How important is location for software engineers?"
• "Where should I start my career as a SWE/SDE?"
• "Does not being in the Bay Area hurt your career as a SWE?"
