Snapchat or Amazon for a new grad?

Hi folks, This account was borrowed from my friend. I got offers from Snapchat and Amazon so I want to ask for some advice on which one to choose for a new grad. I interned at Amazon this year so it is a return offer. The team is at NY and the people are nice. The work is about 60% front-end development (which I am not so interested in) and some backend. Snapchat has slightly better compensation. I am still in the process of team allocation so not sure about the location and working area. Personally I favor Snapchat more. It feels I would gain better personal growth at Snap as there are many smart coworkers and plenty of work can be done. But I heard a lot about that Snapchat doesn't have a promising future. Can anyone share some insights about which one to choose? Any advice is appreciated.

Snapchat, just because you said you like Snapchat better. Follow what you like, you are too young to worry about the prospect of the company you are planning to join.

Amazon! As a FAANG it will open doors for you that most other companies can't.
