Ibm vs Costco offer

Mar 30 29 Comments

I have offers from IBM and COSTCO. They are right about the same TC. Just want to know which will be better in term of learning.

IBM is taking some time in visa transfers and costco is saying they will file for permanent residency only in EB3 category.

Ibm- 140k+ 5k joining
Costco: 140k + free membership

    • Yes, better than current one. I tried for good tech companies but not able to clear all interview rounds. So just want to check which will be better for learning perspective so i can keep trying for good tech companies.

      In that case, pick an offer that better helps you in selling yourself in to the next gig. You know these 2 offers - work involved - than anyone else

    I did an internship at IBM here in canada, and it was OK - run of the mill developer job. Name recognition is of course not FAANG level, but people will know who ibm are.

    Honestly neither offer is fabulous for 10 yoe, but Id say IBM is at least more of a tech company. Costco you are there to support their grocery business rather than to create actual products. I feel like you will be second class citizen as IT/eng.

    though the membership is enticing lol

      Correct, Costco is a retail company first. FTEs are not allowed to take any vacation from Nov.1 through the third week of December (once schools are out for winter break). Period.

    • Hey, I wanted to ask you, did having IBM on your resume help you get callbacks from FAANG's / Unicorn's for new grad positions?

    Costco has ancient legacy tech,and is severely understaffed on purpose in the IT dept for a company of our size. You may or may not get rsu's. Dm me if you have more specific questions.

    Do you get discounted gas prices at Costco? If yes, it’s a no-brainer
