Slack vs Twitter (SWE Internship)
After a grueling recruiting season, I was able to get 2 very good offers, thus, a huge dilemma. Which offer should I accept and why? Being a sophomore, I'm definitely thinking about a company that'll serve as a great launchpad for my career, career progression prospects, and New grad TC. Your input and opinion is so valuable and will really help me make a decision - T.C is about the same for all of them - Twitter (Remote) - Slack (Remote, San Francisco) #tech #softwareadvice #softwareengineer #swe #career #softwareengineering
I’d try to find out what you’ll be working on. Having both on your resume will be a booster, but what you learn / are allowed to do at either place will make the difference.
Slack = Salesforce. I chose to intern at Twitter over Salesforce and don't regret it.
Can you please tell me more?🤲🏾
Slack operates pretty independently from Salesforce, the standards and type of work we do is pretty isolated
Hey! Congrats on your great offers! I'd appreciate it if you could give me any insight or advice on the Twitter intern final round. Apparently there's a coding round and a data structures round?
Hey, thanks very much, The coding round basically Mimicks day to day coding. Debugging etc meanwhile the algo round is your typical leetcode style questions.
Thanks! Which did you end up choosing? I'll be doing twitter :)
What are your priorities? I know slack has great WLB, heard similar things about Twitter. Both are great names to have on your resume.

They both check those boxes so I would go to company with the product you care more about. Look into the tech stacks as well if that interests you.
