Hi I have new grad SWE offers from Two Sigma (NYC) and Google (Seattle/Kirkland) and could use some help with the decision. These are the primary factors I'm considering: Edit: Google PA is either Communications or UFO Learning/growth: - I feel like I'll learn a lot at either so I'm not too concer...Read more

Teams with more backed facing work (both infra and product) and opportunities to promo would be a big plus. Have new grads actually had any luck waiting for headcount to open up?

I didn't give any other interviews as I was merely planning to transfer from a Bay Area team to a Kirkland team within Google. The AWS manager really wants me in the team since my experience can...Read more

Work is impactful, great experience, ML involved. I landed the perfect project. I used to always want to ...Read more

Love working with data, but haven't used the software. How much of a data/analytics pro do you have t...Read more

YOE: 3 w/ phd TC: 370k @ Seattle Hi. I think I stayed long enough for Amazon. Work blocked from inherent org issues and don’t think this would be resolved in foreseeable future. As I can’t deliver impactful stuff because of this, don’t think I’m in a good position to ask my manager for promo. At ...Read more
