When I joined Google I had the option to join as SWE or Research Scientist (Phd & 20 Publications). I intentionally chose SWE because I got the feeling that it’s easier for long-term growth, e.g., if you want to become director+ one day.

I interviewed at FB and Cracked SWE and RS E6, and am still deciding which is better. Since I always have this dilemma, I wanted to ask you what you think is better long term.
