I have offers from both companies for summer SE (full-stack development) internships. In terms of comp Lyft is offering more, however I’m more concerned with which company will allow me to learn more and also look better on my resume after. I know Microsoft is a great company to get on your resume, but is Lyft similar in regards to prestige? Any input is appreciated. Thank you!
I'd take Lyft, from what I know Lyft is better in prestige and you don't have to work in the windows stack (ewww).
Lyft, you can get into msft whenever
Lyft. SF is more fun as an intern
Waiting for Uber to jump in
Lyft
Windows stack sucks, Lyft for sure
i think you will have more opportunities to do higher impact work at lyft. but if you are looking beyond the internship there is definitely value to the fact msft is public (stock grant will be basically cash) and with lyft you have to wait until unknown date for ipo. but i think lyft for sure
Which teams will you work with?
Not sure which team I will work on at Lyft, but I will be on the Business Applications team (C&E) at Microsoft
Business applications group or BAG is one of the dumbest orgs in MS. I would go to lyft
