I've recently accepted a full-time new grad SWE offer with Flexport. However, I've just received an SWE internship offer from Amazon. My start date with Flexport is approaching, but I wanted to see if it makes sense to move it so that I can also do the internship at Amazon. I've already moved the start date once at Flexport. The internship from Amazon is attractive as I would actually end up with a higher net than Flexport. I feel like FAANG on my CV will be nice to have moving forward in my career and would open more doors as it is a better-known name. Many people still don't know about Flexport. If I would try to delay the start date with Flexport, should mention I got an offer from Amazon and I’d like to get more experience there before starting off at Flexport? Would it be possible that the offer would get rescinded if I ask? Alternatively, should I not risk it and move forward with Flexport as planned? TC: 0
Amazon is shit. Don’t recommend it.
Go with flexport. You’ll find that internship experience doesn’t count as “real experience” when applying for future jobs. Plus, flexport is reputable and well recognized amongst people in tech.
Also, I wouldn’t recommend risking a full time offer in this job market.
Hi OP, when you finish your VO at Flexport ?
What's that
When you finish your virtual on-site(last interview) at Flexport?
In current economy go with full time opportunities rather than FAANG internship. 1. For amazon they are extending full time opportunities less compared to last year. 2. During lay off fresh blood is first to be sacrificed. 3. We don’t know any future layoffs for Amazon after 27k, but amazon has still surplus of At least 50k employees, for which they are trying attrition with rto, higher pip quota etc. And as first job, during this time Amazon could be traumatizing experience for long term in case you receive full time offer
What about Europe? Does it change things?
I am not much aware about layoffs in Europe. I believe they had one round of layoffs, but for future, unfortunately not much visibility.
Amazon is very volatile right now. They can literally cancel your internship last minute 😒 I'd go with Flexport. 1. We had layoffs last week in AWS. No communication updates have been sent to employees 🙄 2. We have forced increased URA (unregretted attrition) I know how important it is to have a positive first job experience and I don't trust that Amazon will offer it this year. Good luck and congrats on the offer 👏🏿
The real question would've been Flexport internship vs Amazon full time, where I would've gone to Flexport but for Amazon it's whatever
