New Grad: Google vs FB vs Apple

Got offers from all three, comparable pay (Apple’s offer is a bit lower on paper but it’s hourly so I get overtime). SWE in all, but HW org at Apple. All in Bay Area. Feel free to comment with any insights and comparisons. The feeling I get is that G/FB look a tad better on a resume. I wouldn’t know my team until after I signed for both of them, which could be a downside. What’s better for learning/growing as an engineer as well as optimizing for career growth in the long term?

If it’s HW, go for Apple - for SW, google should be a better bet

It’s a SWE role on a team under Dan

Did your team match happen at Google yet? Any ideas what do they do?

TC for each of them is?

Apple Y ikes OP Oct 4, 2018

G/FB around 170, Apple 130 but with overtime could get close to 170

At G you wouldn't have to do overtime and you still get 170

Are you a software engineer or an electrical engineer ? Trying to understand how to get both sw and hw jobs at the same time.

Apple Y ikes OP Oct 4, 2018

Software Engineer. The role at Apple is SWE in a team in the HW org

Do you mind sharing the salary / stock / signing bonus for the offers?

Thinking back as a new grad. If I had to choose again, I would choose Apple. I went to G first and then FB. Both were a-okay, nothing exciting. Apple will offer challenging work, which should be the focus as a new grad, not TC.

What is teledyne tech ?

You’re a returning intern but they only gave you 130? Negotiate and tell them you have 2 offers at 170.

Working on that this week! Thanks for the advice
