Snapchat Oracle Cloud I'm torn which one to join. I'm really interested in solving distributed system problems which Oracle offers. While Snap team is new and building their product from scratch so a lot to scope to deliver and go up. But doesn't seem as challenging. Please help. #Oracle #Snapchat Update- I accepted Oracle's offer. Thanks for all advice.
Do you wanna retire in one company?
No
What are the offers?
Oracle.
Oracle...Oracle Public Cloud has a very good team in Seattle, with interesting projects and smart folks.
SDE 2 or 3 at Amazon? What are your expectations for both companies?
SDE 2 at Amazon. Might get promoted in 1-2 years if I stay in the team but too bored. Have been here way too long. Not to mention underpaid.
Let us know once you have the numbers.
High risk high reward. Who knows, Snap might use their IPO money to build a secret weapon. But if you have a family to feed, go with ORCL or stay at Amazon.
No family to feed as of now. :)
I would be willing to bet a lot that Snapchat out pays Oracle, but I'm curious to know for sure ;)
how come PMTS for sde 2?
Great interview probably. Also OP might have been underleveled at AMZN.
Otherwise how can oracle attract top talents?
Should I buy the SUV or the Ferrari? One is practical and boring, but nobody will turn their head for you. The other is fast, awesome, and will turn heads, but you just might crash before you get to your next destination.
Snap's future is that bad? I don't obviously intend to stay lifetime
Nobody knows. You might arrive safely. Or you might crash the car. But people will notice you in a Ferrari much more than an SUV. If you need a practical car, get a practical car. If you're young, want to get people to notice you, and can afford cost of gas and the risk of being without wheels for a while if things go south, take the flashy car and see what it does for you.
