DM me if you’re in Michigan. I know people at StockX and amazon.

North American Bancard vXQe07 Nov 23, 2022

StockX can't afford me, Amazon offered the same comp. I passed, since I don't have to deal with the PIP nightmare and our stack is modernish. Depends on the team, python, typescript, go, Java, c#, php7+ all in the cloud , there's something for almost everyone.

Private equity more prestigious than us so you right

Google Bseman Nov 22, 2022

it doesn’t matter which stack you use IMO, everything is more or less the same as long as you grab the fundamental idea

texas heat OP Nov 23, 2022

Yeah agreed just for fun

Amazon ufh8fb Nov 23, 2022

I wouldn't say they're the same. Big difference between VMs docker and kubernetes. Big difference between a great language like rust and a crap one like go.

General Motors cackle Nov 22, 2022

Sorry I lost you after Java
