Choosing Between Dropbox and Goldman Sachs: International Student Seeking Advice for SWE Junior Year Summer Internship

Hey everyone, I'm reaching out on behalf of my brother, a junior in college majoring in Computer Science. He's facing a tough decision between two exciting summer internship offers: one from Goldman Sachs and another from Dropbox, both for Software Engineering roles. Being an international student, he's considering two critical factors: 1. Securing a return offer: He aims to excel and potentially secure a full-time position. 2. Sponsorship opportunities (H1B and green card): Post-graduation, he's looking for a company that offers good prospects for sponsorship. Dropbox offers a more lucrative package, remote work, and closer alignment with his tech-focused career. On the other hand, Goldman Sachs holds significant prestige, they have a massive legal team (which will help massively in the sponsorship processes), but we heard they may have a less favorable work culture, and they require office presence in Manhattan. We'd greatly appreciate hearing about personal experiences or insights on H1B sponsorship and green card processes at Goldman Sachs and Dropbox. How do these companies assist international interns in transitioning to full-time roles with visa support? Any details about work culture, growth opportunities, and overall experiences would be incredibly valuable. Thank you all for your help and advice! #workvisa #h1b #greencard #dropbox #goldmansachs #summerinternship #junioryear #internship #college #internationalstudent #careergrowth

This tech wise always dropbox and that on your resume for other tech jobs is far more valuable

I have one advice for you and it is the most sincere and heart-felt advice that I have ever given: DO NOT COME TO GOLDMAN SUCKS !

Goldman's legal team is more of a pain to deal with so being in GS doesn't mean automatically better h1 or GC chances, Dropbox is a better choice overall for swe
