I am a bachelor. Wanna save a lot in 2 years. Which location of Google development office should I target?
Remote is the way to go but good luck making it happen as a new-ish grad.
Not at Google, stop trolling
Austin or Dallas.
Always hq location. Better and high visibility projects. If you work hard, you might get better projects in MTV and get promoted sooner. Satellite offices are not the same, I worked at Amazon before. The projects in Seattle were high visibility and people got promoted faster. We had teams in Vancouver and Minneapolis. In 2.5 years I worked there Seattle had 3 Sde3 promos, 12 sde2 promos. Vancouver had 2 sde 2 promos and Minneapolis none. This specially applies to higher levels I guess, going from sde1 to 2 or t3 to t4 it doesn't matter much. You can save more by earning more and HQ locations have better opportunities.
I agree with this, but OP is specifically looking at a time frame of 2 years. In such a short time period, this isn’t going to matter.
SF. More opportunities for $$.
Seattle / Kirkland
OP this is your best bet. Good projects, no income tax
Kirkland will get you best bang for your silver penny
