If you have 5 yoe with no-name companies and want a bit of notoriety to stand out to FAANG more, would it make sense to work at Intuit for a bit since they’re somewhat notable? like 6-8 months? if you just got a bunch of rejections I mean yoe: 5 tc: 210k CAD #software #engineering #swe
Check the role that you are offered, being in faang and doing shit work doesn’t make it any better either , but intuit is a good company with lots of tech upgrades since cto changed ...
Not sure about FAANG, but being in FNG definitely opens doors
Working somewhere only 6-8 months in itself is a red flag for hiring managers. Intuit is a good place - a lot of alumni at FAANG and other companies. Tbh working at FAANG is something to do to get on your resume, work short term, and go somewhere else. It's simply a badge you get to wear showing that you made through their interview process. Intuit doesn't carry that same weight if you r just looking for a <1 year gig to put on ur resume for mobility elsewhere. I would go with a smaller company working on cutting-edge tech or built on a cutting-edge tech stack. You will wear a lot of hats, it'll be a lot of work, but you will walk away with experience in the latest tech which will enable your mobility elsewhere like a FAANG, etc...
Yeah I’d probably do at least a year I think to get the stock to vest...
1 year will get u 1/4 of your stock vested - not worth it from that perspective necessarily. If you are looking for something on your resume that I want to be in temporarily until u get (what sounds like your dream) job at a FAANG, then think small company or startup doing something that is high-tech and bleeding edge. More about the tech you're working in or with.
Intuit is a pretty good name to have on your resume. Good stepping stone into FAANG.
Worked for me.
there’s a reason its called FIANG
Bro. I think Intuit in your resume is already a huge start. Before I joined Amazon, I worked for a 3 team no-name start up 🤣 I cleared the interview by LCing. Now, my TC has improved significantly 👌🏾
Intuit is a good name to have if you have nothing on your resume. Definitely great if your interests are anything related to Security, Tax or SmallBusiness. Basically for fintech. Side question - Why Amazon is there in FAANG? Thought they don’t pay well
Amazon/Apple are similar enough. Amazon NYC/SF can match basically all of FB/G
No
No.
