I've been lucky to get these offers for next year and I have 2 internship terms (summer and fall) so I can accept two of these. However, I also wanna maximize return full time offers as I'm a junior in school right and will be looking for a full-time job soon. I've heard Google makes you do the conversion interview and that's kind of making me think its not a good internship choice (perhaps a better full-time choice for TC after a few years in the industry), but overall a strong brand name (but not sure if that'll help me much if it's just an internship). I'm personally leaning towards Stripe and FB, so I get the Big N and Unicorn experience (plus I've heard good things about Stripe's eng culture), and this could help maximize my full-time prospects. Would love some advice. Thanks!
Google and Stripe
Yeah that's a good idea too. What would be your reasoning behind taking Stripe and Google instead of FB and Google?
Don't do this, Google doesn't give anything to their returners. They make them reinterview and lowball the fuck out of them. FB gives high TC + sign on and no interview to returners.
You’re young, you should take Facebook and Stripe. Last one is the one that you want a full time return offer. GL!
100% stripe and fb
As a single data point, I interned at Stripe, and had a great time, both in terms of learning and fun/social life, so I would definitely recommend stripe.
Stripe for growth/potential upside, FB for TC, Google for WLB Slack IMO gives you nothing that you wouldn't otherwise get from working at Stripe.
Yeah, I agree with this sentiment. I'm still young so I'm thinking of taking Stripe + FB and maybe going to Stripe full time for the upside. WLB is not as big of a concern as it could be in 10 years for me when I'm settled down. Although one thought I have at the back of my head is if taking FB + Google for these two internships is a good idea or if it is redundant?
Redundant, they're the same company.
