Are we currently in a recession, and is the U.S. not acknowledging it because of the impending elections?
Adobe Pros: Good pay Good benefits Good WLB Working on a fun product with a fun team Adobe Cons: Move to NYC, which is a high cost of living/culture shock? not FAANG? Amazon Pros: Good pay (Comparable to Adobe) FAANG Probably will learn more? Amazon Cons: You know what everyone else on Blind says about Amazon's WLB and constant PIP... SpaceX Pros: Fulfill the "Nasa engineer" childhood fantasy SpaceX Cons: WLB Compensation is not nearly competitive with Adobe or Amazon Thoughts? TC (Adobe / Amazon): ~180k TC (SpaceX): ~90-110k #newgrad #softwareadvice #software #career #help #engineering #software #swe
Run like hell
SpaceX cause it has the most upside
Nvm just saw this is SWE in Test, don’t do it
Test at SpaceX is super important compared to other places I've been where it is more of a backseat supporting role. Usually test engineers will be really closely involved in missions in the same team as other software devs with the same title. Full vehicle devs will write tests too but people who join as test will generally need to become team experts on the test infra, python, and simulations. If you land in a good project it can be good if you are in it for the experience. But the offer is pretty low - I've gotten comp details from a few software new grads and people usually land around 160ish tc
I used to work at SpaceX so I voted Adobe because they have better pay and I’m assuming better WLB. If you were deciding between amazon and SpaceX I’d say do SpaceX because if you’re working on the weekend it might as well be for Elon instead of Jeff
Is this SWE? The new grad SpaceX numbers don’t match what they give for SWE new grads
What numbers have you seen with that? Better? Worse? (And yes, this is SWE)
My offer as an MS new grad is closer to ~165k
Spacex
Adobe this is so easy
Anywhere but Amazon really....
Take SWE over SWE in test no matter what the company is
I can't speak for Adobe but even as someone who somewhat enjoys amazon I'd still say spacex. You are young, it'll be meaningful work, you can change internally later if test engineering gets boring . Amazon/Adobe will always be there. If you want money I get it but don't forget a lot of satisfaction doesn't come from money
Pick adobe over amazon bc even with nyc vs seattle, it's probably not worth the risk of joining a bad team here and living through a horror story. That being said, I would probably pick SpaceX. If you aren't doing something that inspires you, any TC will feel too little after a while.
