Got an offer from Bloomberg for 131k salary, 13k first year bonus, 10k relocation. How is this for a new grad? I also have an offers from Apple in Austin at 105k salary, 50k RSU, and 10k relocation and Amazon at 106k salary, 25.5k first year signing bonus, 20.5k second year signing bonus, 65k RSU, and 10k relo in Seattle.
The BB offer is standard, it’s the one I got. FYI it’s the same salary in all American offices.
Austin is fucking boring
Says the guy living in Seattle
I'll agree that Seattle is boring, but I'd totally live in Austin, I really like the city.
Apple or Amazon over Bloomberg any day. You'll make nearly 2x at your next hop from Apple or Amazon if you play your cards right vs. Bloomberg.
Apple of course. This is a no-brainer. Better exit ops than Bloomberg. And you leave with your sanity compared with Amazon
How significant is the difference in exit ops? I thought there were better opportunities in NYC vs Austin
By exit ops, I meant Apple on your resume opens a whole lot more doors (or catches more hiring manager attention) than Bloomberg on your resume. I am talking about the entire country here, not just NYC. You need to define what kind of opportunities will be "better opportunities" for you 3 or 4 years from now. Of course, if settling in NYC is at the top of your priority list, you should choose the company that has strong roots there... Bloomberg.
Go with 🍎
You didn’t mention what kind of role. But based on numbers you gave I say take the Amazon offer. It’s the highest overall and Seattle is a cool city. Put in a few years there, at least two. Then start considering Apple in Cupertino.

I got similar offer from Bloomberg and Amazon. I took Bloomberg because of the culture and other perks ( things like philanthropy , living in NYC, etc ) . But if I had to go purely by highest paycheck or brand name , I probably would have chosen Amazon . I don’t know if my decision is correct but so far I am happy with my choice
Apple Way better on your resume
Eat french fries and negotiate with apple and go there.
