Hey guys, Posting on behalf of a friend. Which company would be better for a Software Engineering Internship (considering TC is the same). Also looking at it from the perspective of getting a potential return offer. Currently a Masters student. Have had a short stint with Amazon in a Cloud Support Role. Thanks. Appreciate the help. TC: 0 (Grad student)
Stripe. I've got a buddy working there currently, he previously at Twitter and Google. He loves it, and since you've got experience at Amazon already it will be a good addition to your resume and you get to explore other options!
In blind, Stripe almost wins every poll, while amazon almost loses every poll. so quite obvious, lol.
According to levels.fyi, your friend’s gonna have a higher starting salary at Stripe comparing the two return offers. Since you already have Amazon exp, I’d say go for Stripe try out a different eng culture. Can always come back later, no rush for 🍌 trust me.
Great advice^
