I most likely will get an offer from Amazon in the following days, but I already have one from a startup Fintech company in Berlin, Germany. I currently live in USA (Silver Spring, MD). I was wondering if I should go with Amazon for at least 1 year just for the doors that it will open up for me. I only have 1.5YOE as a software engineer.

What do you think?

      Microsoft (mlK) is why this app sucks. Of course amazon will boost resume. What a complete moron.

      Edit: looks like they deleted their comment lol.

    Amazon was great for my resume and I learned a ton. I'd do it again.
