Twitter Ads or Amazon AWS?
I have an offer from Twitter Ads team in SF and Amazon EBS team in Seattle. Place is not a concern for me. Pay is approx same at both places even accounting for Seattle state tax. Which one is better from a learning and career growth perspective?
Iād say avoid EBS...
Donāt join EBS
Why? Can you pls elaborate?
New Twitter Eng VP šÆ; great team where you can learn a lot and have lots of rooms to grow and meaningfully contribute. Though SF < Seattle ....
Seattle state tax? Seattle is not a state and the state itās in has no income tax.
I've been at both companies. Twitter over Amazon is an easy choice
Twitter is full of millennial SJWs eating chef prepared food while literally stepping over the homeless to get into work every day. If you can fit in that environment, great.
lol, I work at twitter. Iām 50 years old. I volunteer in the tenderloin quite regularly... Twitter makes that super easy. You need to upgrade your troll game.
Twitter is going down and Amazon is going up each year.
Not true for last year.
Lol, I guess the answer depends on how long Trump will be in office. Trump loves Twitter, hates Amazon.
Not sure what EBS is, but do you find ads interesting? I've heard from many engineers that ad tech can be pretty stale for them...
Twitter for sure. Not many hiring opportunities in cloud going forward. If you have to switch later, you will have very few options. Trend seems to be building ML apps or services on cloud. Twitter has better culture and you get lot more exposure working in a relatively small company.
