I have two offers. Google and Hulu. I'm more interested in the work at Hulu but if I have Apple on my resume, I think it might make my resume look more attractive. Would you choose a more prestigious company doing boring work or less prestigious company doing interesting work?
You have Google or Apple? Let's first finalize that
Woops, it's a Google offer.
Boring work at more prestigious company will make it easier to find other boring work at other prestigious companies
Google. Cuz you can move teams
Pretty easy to move teams at Hulu after 1yr
Go with the one that you like more, especially if money wise you don’t care about the difference (or there’s not much)
Maybe this is my own personal bias, but Hulu to me carries a stronger weight than Apple. Overall advice: pursue what you’re interested in. You’ll be more successful if you like your work.
What if it was Google vs Hulu? I accidently wrote Apple. I'm leaning more towards Hulu. I'd be working on the streaming platform vs Google internal tools team. I don't really care for writing internal tools.
Streaming is pretty hot these days. Can’t say the same about working on internal tools. Choice is up to you and what your values are
