YOE: 0, new grad master

For the city I may prefer Seattle, as I prefer outdoor activities and driving cars around. But for the career growth and job security I am not sure. There is also a rent proposed H1b wage level policy that may worth taken into consider #software #engineering #dell #bloomberg

Both are final offer, non-negotiable.
