Seriously, which one looks better on a resume?
AWS > Twitch > Amazon imo
AWS > Amazon. Really? On what factors?
Oncall might be worse, but scale and depth of projects, culture, and comp are better
Resume would be AWS, but you’ll hate your on call life. Twitch has a better culture overall and the benefits are better.
They're not the same benefits?
Health benefits package is the same but Twitch has its own things like a wellness stipend, free food (not during covid), and unlimited PTO.
Are their new grad offers the same? I believe Twitch negotiates their new grad offers?
yeah. Pretty much... difference of about 5k TC. AWS is on the higher end. They both negotiate.
Does Twitch provide free bananas like Amazon?
Lol. More. Happy hours. Pizza! free food... but with the whole WFH situation, it's going to be a while before I get to experience those benefits.
Join video team at Twitch. They run an AWS service. You can write whatever you want on your resume
Is that VOD infrastructure?
I think vod infra is part of it. There are jobs under video platforms
As a recent grad, you should optimize on learning. Whichever place has better process and higher learning curve, go there
Really comes down to the position
SDE 1 @ AWS. L4 @ Twitch (both entry level)
Whew, that's a interesting question. Where did u have the biggest career growth?
