Hi people with more knowledge, please pass said knowledge onto a student and help me out. I must choose one for summer. I don’t like (returning to) Amazon because politics, lack of helpful/not toxic coworkers, disassociated/disengaged manager, scope scabbing, pitting interns against each other, indirect/implicit communication techniques etc. It was actually very upsetting and I wanted to leave CS after my experience 😕 Really liked apple and Microsoft interviewers. Pleasant people and would be happy to go to either 😁 Apple is backend work. Microsoft depending on team match could be backend work, library dev, or maybe kernel work. I’d really like the chance for kernel stuff or library work as that’s where my interest lies, but this is perhaps wishing thinking. Open source is nice since I get to explore my interests and pretty much have fun while giving back. The base salary is monthly pay and bonus is housing stipend. Open source is 0 but it wouldn’t let me put that. All numbers are usd. Msft is 🇺🇸, others are 🇨🇦 Maybe some feedback other than “money”. What would you consider/say if you could tell your college self something. Ty ❤️
Def not Amazon if you didn’t enjoy it. For open source maybe you can just contribute in other ways on your free time? I’d choose between Apple and microsoft. What are your post grad working plans? In the US or Canada?
No plans really, just some job. And perhaps I can do open source after work or something like you say!
Apple's rules on open source are the strictest in the industry. You need legal approval to even publish a 3D model on thingaverse. If you want to do open source, Apple is NOT the place
Definitely go with Microsoft, I did it and had a blast spending 3 months in the U.S.
People are most likely voting based on the numbers alone. Microsoft is going back to its old days and culture, with Satya now corroding the culture (he starts every culture convo by asking people who are not happy to quit). The company is pivoting everything towards AI. All of its eggs in one basket.
It has multiple eggs in multiple baskets. All of them are getting the ai ribbon
0 for Amazon 🤣🤣
Apple and open source are incompatible on so many levels…
I would have picked apple but...US
