Should have posted this last year, but interested in what others think. Had two job offers last year before 2023 started. The Home Depot: 110k Apple: 100k Home Depot is fully remote and office is in driving distance. The Apple offer was contracted through Intelliswift. The office was in SF, not required to be there in person. Both positions 1 year contracts as data engineer positions 100% remote. I even considered doing both jobs at once but decided against. I ended picking The Home Depot due to the culture and team I met during the interview. At Apple, it felt like I was interviewing as a contractor. Whereas at Home Depot I was interviewing to be part of a team. Did I make the right choice in choosing The Home Depot? TC: 130k YOE: 3 #engineering #software #swe #dataengineer
Are you on a visa?
Did not need one for Apple.
You should have done both at the same time. That’s what I would have done.
Didn’t want to get blacklisted. Also, prob would not have been able to make that many connections from apple simply because remote and contractor. So no office parties to network for example.
I think your thoughts of doing both was the correct one. Although working two jobs is scary, has stigma and non traditional. But you could of just quit one of the jobs after a month if it didn't work out or was too hard to do both. This was you would of answered your own question hear and have no FOMO.
