Have the chance to select between these two offers for my final internship before full time. Already have an SWE internship at Autodesk, which I enjoyed. Autodesk seems like a safer choice that I’d enjoy, but it seems very hard to turn down the chance to get FAANG experience and the amazon name on my resume before graduating. Don’t know the exact project for either. AWS pros -great brand name on resume, can open up new grad opportunities by helping me get interviews -probably good for skill development/interesting project -new environment AWS cons -probably wouldn’t want to return full-time to internship location - never been there, don’t know anyone, housing situation seems tougher -potentially bad wlb/culture (don’t mind too much for internship but this makes it less interesting for long-term return opportunities) Autodesk pros -chill culture, great WLB -very very remote flexible -location more convenient (wouldn’t have to move) -chance to get hands on experience in ML-related work (hard to get as undergrad with no prior ML experience, I am interested in ML) Autodesk cons -already worked there, diminishing returns on resume -weaker brand name than amazon -weaker career growth and compensation long-term
Aws
Amazon dunks their interns straight into the deep end and holds them underwater until a few of them die and then extends offers to the ones that are coughing fish out of their lungs
The thing is, I’m not too concerned about an AWS return offer - not interested in working there long term from what I’ve heard about culture. Plus internship location isn’t somewhere I’d want to return to for full-time work long-term
Do the one youll have more fun in and learn more at. Amazon is probably not the one, unless you’re very lucky and get a team that has the capacity to actually help you a bit.
Amazon is just a revolving door. If you see it like that then take it
Work at AWS for internship and add that you improved S3 reliability to 99.999999% from 99.99999%

How’s capitalism going?
Just because you have worked at one company for internship. I will say pick the other one. Although role at Autodesk is better
That’s my current logic too. Role and culture are better at Autodesk, but AWS brand name is stronger and would probably open more doors long-term. Seems like the perfect change to get faang on the resume
