Hey everyone, I have received software engineer (full stack) offers from Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, and Walmart. Need help in selecting the best one.

Note that the following are their final offers and the role at Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs is way more interesting than Walmart.

Credit Suisse (New York City, NY):
Base salary: $130,000
Limited PTO

Goldman Sachs (New York City, NY):
Base salary: $120,000
Annual bonus: $65,000
Limited PTO

Walmart (Sunnyvale, CA):
Base salary: $150,000
Stocks: $25,000 (4-year vesting period)
Signing bonus: $10,000
Unlimited PTO

Is my bonus at GS going to be a one-time thing, or will I get similar annual bonuses every year?

Current Location: NJ
YOE: 1.5 (0 in US)
Current TC: 0 (new grad)

    GS sucks. 80% tech teams suck. Youโ€™ll always be a 2nd class citizen. 80% chance youโ€™re gonna get screwed during bonus season next year.

      Chronic depression. Also Iโ€™ve been a โ€œmanagerโ€ for 4 years now so not confident in my own tech skills (I spend all day playing politics).

    For GS, annual bonus amount from second year will depend on company, division and individual performance.

      Thanks for replying man. Do you think negotiating with the recruiter for a higher base will work or do all new employees get 120 (max)?

      Don't think they'll entertain any negotiation for new grad. You can try, but do it politely.

  • While I think this base seems ok for 2 years experience
    , In general Goldman is notorious for keeping the base very low and keeping variable bonuses high. Remember that year end bonus is never a committed after first year and in most cases if for some reason your manager do not like you it will become zero and your base is only what you will get. Be careful with how you make decision...

  • Unlimited PTO is a myth,
    For a SDE Tech company >>>>>>finance company
