What’s the top non-quant firm company to join as a new grad SWE for career growth? Not including Stripe because they rejected me :/. Have offer from Nuro and interviewing at some of the others. Sorry if you saw this before, had to delete and repost since I accidentally biased one of the answers. #nuro #figma #plaid #brex #ramp #databricks #scaleai #rippling #deepmind #google #meta

Meta. You will be senior in 3 years.
Wouldn’t you get similar career growth at a lot of the respected unicorns like Plaid, Nuro and Rippling though? In the past, people at Nuro became L5 in 2-3 years.
Agree. There are too many Google shills here on blind. Promo and career growth is slow here on average. I'm a new grad as well, joined 1 year ago
Curious and following
How hard is it to get into Rippling?
Coding challenge then 3 rounds of on-site. 1 live coding, 1 technical deep dive, 1 behavioral. Not sure if there’s next steps after, I don’t think so.
add CockroachDB as long as you don’t consider TC too seriously
Ramp They’re following the square approach and specifically targeting people that want to be entrepreneurs. Building a network and working with those kinds of people will pay dividends down the road I’d 100% work there but keep getting resume rejected :/
Not scale ai. Company is full of new grads who don’t know what they’re doing.
Ramp hands down 🙌
Plaid
Don’t you gotta be a fuckin genius to work at Deepmind? I’d imagine just having that background would set your career trajectory super high
Lots of smart people, but there’s also a lot of new grads there who just got an internship at Google and went to Deepmind after. Also some people who joined Deepmind as their first internship from relatively no name schools.
I’d guess their research projects are much more important than the name of their school tbh, Google (nor most top tech companies) isn’t exactly known to be selective on the school you come from
