    Do you want to stay in NY? If you like living there the Crux offer looks like a significant boost to your standard of living. Adobe should be your choice for work-life balance. Amazon is probably the best option to get experience but be prepared for long hours. It depends what you value most at this point in your life.

    Chances are since you are relocating that new Amazon manager will likely work you until you cough up blood. Beware of what you are getting into.

    Adobe should have much better wlb but they are literally the only big tech company in downtown San Jose.

    Don’t know about the other company though. But unless you really want that big name tech company, think twice.

    Amazon is obviously the best choice. Forget Adobe; too low. However if you think you can advance at Crux and learn morr, then stay there about 2 years and then reapply to Amazon

    • Crux has a lot of learn potential. Will get opportunity to work on products from ground up and end to end. New products. Not incremental building.

      I know everyone here is obsessed with FAANG but I'd say go with Crux. Having a start up experience is really good too where as big companies you're just a mouse or guinea pig in the big wheel running
