Google location
I am a bachelor. Wanna save a lot in 2 years. Which location of Google development office should I target?
Remote is the way to go but good luck making it happen as a new-ish grad.
Not at Google, stop trolling
Austin or Dallas.
How big is the Austin eng office ?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Always hq location. Better and high visibility projects. If you work hard, you might get better projects in MTV and get promoted sooner. Satellite offices are not the same, I worked at Amazon before. The projects in Seattle were high visibility and people got promoted faster. We had teams in Vancouver and Minneapolis. In 2.5 years I worked there Seattle had 3 Sde3 promos, 12 sde2 promos. Vancouver had 2 sde 2 promos and Minneapolis none. This specially applies to higher levels I guess, going from sde1 to 2 or t3 to t4 it doesn't matter much. You can save more by earning more and HQ locations have better opportunities.
I agree with this, but OP is specifically looking at a time frame of 2 years. In such a short time period, this isn’t going to matter.
SF. More opportunities for $$.
Seattle / Kirkland
OP this is your best bet. Good projects, no income tax
Kirkland will get you best bang for your silver penny
