A friend of mine has offers from 2 companies. 1. Software Engineer Role Pros - Their tech stack aligns with my his area of interest. Going forward, this could help him land in a better job a few years from now, as it could add a lot of weightage to his resume. Tech stack - Golang, React, Node, Python, AWA, GCS, Docker, K8s Cons - work culture is not good. They seem to be a little laid back in terms of on boarding and stuff. 2. Senior Software Engineer Role Pros - Great people, who seem to care about him and the team genuinely needs him. Senior Role is definitely a plus here, next step in his career could be managerial/ more senior. Cons - Same comp as the role above. Not that good of a tech stack. Tech Stack - Typescript, Java, spring, AWS We highly appreciate any sort of feedback that can help us decide. Edit : TC 170 YOE 3.5 years #tech #offers
Ts, Java, AWS “not that a good stack” WTF?
May be he/she means new technologies as good stack
Oh no they are good. Just not as good as option 1 if that makes sense.
Join the 2nd option
Thanks for your input.
Whoa whoa this post is offensive! 1. No TC 2. No YOE 3. No company names 4. No poll 5. Posting for a friend 6. “New” user
Chad bro chill
Quit being a snowflake. Editing the post with TC and YOE.
Trying to find out what to say
In some companies senior is equivalent to SWE. You have to look at all their bands and see. Levels.fyi is a better source that I know of
Thank you so much!
I'd go with option 1. Lower level and same pay.
TC & YOE or GTFO
