Am BS new grad. Recently got an offer for OCI in seattle and about to go onsite for Tesla SDET/automation position.
OCI: 120k + ~37k/yr + 20sign (non-negotiable)
Tesla: 120-130k + ~35k/yr + 0 sign
Series C/D startup in socal: 115k + paper equity + 0 sign (non-negotiable)
Leaning more toward OCI because work seems interesting and TC is good but im worried that the name would look bad on my resume than Tesla/startup when i look to switch later. Or maybe its just Blind that looks down to the name.
While Tesla has big name, i dont know if Ill be pigenholing myself to being a tester forever and potnetial WLB problems.
Startup’s work looks promising (backend go and ruby) and has strong potential but TC is low.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Don’t start in it now.
It's much easier to go from SDE to SDET than the other way around (if you enjoy testing though...)
Oracle would be what I choose.
Don't consider OCI as Oracle. Work quality, culture and compensation are much better there as compared to other teams in Oracle. I know people who moved to OCI from Amazon and Microsoft. My fiance graduated last year and turned down Amazon, Microsoft & Facebook offers and joined OCI. WLB was one reason, also OCI was offering higher position with better compensation comparing other offers.
Talking about Tesla, one of my friend joined there and quit within a week. It's among one of the worst WLB companies to work for.
Also, it's SDE vs SDET. It will be difficult to switch the role in future.
If brand is your only concern, I'm sure you'll know more about OCI once you're in Seattle.
I've known several very smart engineers from OG Oracle. Additionally, OCI is a great place to be if you want to work on distributed systems with a lot of green fields
I’ve been hitting DP but not really graph so a bit worried about that but everyone says that no company asks about graphs
