I'm dumb and I can't choose. Please help. Confluent: remote, like the work, stock is low, LCOL tax, 170k Netflix: in person for at least 2 years, netflix blog is cool, bay area tax, 215k #software #newgrad #confluent #netflix #tech
Confluent for maximizing what you keep money-wise. SF if you feel like you value being with coworkers in the office or want to do other tech stuff after. Consider if your team is mostly remote too, if they are then mark that variable out, if they aren’t I’d count that as a negative against confluent.
In person 5 days?
Netflix, new grad get face time
Confluent you like the work... you'll be happy to wake up
Confluent would be my pick due to being remote, but Netflix is a strong candidate—you can’t find world-class engineering at any other tech company these days. This is going to come down to your lifestyle preferences. Netflix is the better company, but going into the office will crush your mental health and possibly burn you out due to how high their performance standards are. Confluent will be much less stressful due to remote work, but you may not be able to land a company like Netflix later on. In any case, congratulations on the offers and good luck! TC: 105K
I’d definitely choose Netflix, but just asking: why he can’t land another Netflix offer later on?
Netflix. With Netflix on your resume you can get into Confluent or any other remote swe work later. But it will be significantly harder to get into Netflix as a mid/senior role
If you are junior in your career, Netflix for sure. If you are more deep into your career, choose based on other life priorities (prob go with low col, easy wlb)
Netflix. Everyone recommending Confluent doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Join Netflix, don’t look back. Confluent has a low bar.
For a new grad, I don’t recommend remote because you need to expand your network. So unless you are in a big city and have opportunities to network outside of the office, I would leave that out of the pro/con list. (Unless you have a baby.)

TC for confluent definitely goes further for being remote while Netflix is more impressive on your resume, and you'll be working with excellent engineers and learn a lot. Which one do you prioritize more?
