U can always go and work for Amazon 😅, they'll always have positions available, and the hiring bar is also not that high as compared to other companies in FAANG. I would suggest to go with Uber, unless you really like the work at Amazon.
Negotiate your offers
Amazon new grad offers are 108/24+20/70 for Seattle, non negotiable. Are you making up numbers or do you have a explanation for your Amazon offer?
I think he got SDE-1 and not a new grad offer
My offer at Amazon is a team specific SDE-1 role. And this is the initial offer. I'm confident about negotiating and getting it increased.
Lmao why even consider Bloomberg. Company’s utter shite. You will play second fiddle to Wall Street wannabes and will be packed in a tiny cubicle with subpar compensation (at least at Princeton location, idk what it’s like in NYC but can not imagine it to be better). My opinion would be use the 3 others to leverage Uber. But build leverage in reverse order. Ask VM and Bloom to pay more by telling them about Amazon and Uber and then take new offer if given to Amazon and ask for higher pay. Finally take all 3 to Uber. Honestly I would take Uber regardless. Innovation is at it’s peak and when Uber goes public I only expect the stock to soar in the long-run
Because it’s in NY
What cubes? Since when do we play second fiddle to finance types? Bloomberg is a financial technology company, providing every piece of information a finance professional could need and tools to use it. It's not a bank. That said, for a new grad, I would go to Amazon. Bloomberg is where you spend your middle age years at. Also, there is no city like NYC for young people. Seattle and the Bay don't hold w candle to it.
Congrats btw! I think that’s a fantastic achievement to have all these great companies at the same time to choose from. These are the kind of problems I wish I had. How did you manage to land all these jobs? And do you have a BS or MS degree?
Thanks a lot. I mainly practiced a lot for my coding interviews. (Mostly leetcode). I am almost done with my Master's degree.
But you could work on Mac mini support for esxi!
Are you an intern at Symantec?
May I ask wut the heck is vcf eng...
VCF stands for Virtual Cloud Foundation. My sub-team is Life Cycle Management.
I have heard Last Mile has a lot of ops work & bad WLB. I personally would go with Uber.
As a new grad you shouldn’t expect to have WLB anyways. Go with Amazon
^this. you'll get many more opportunities after Amazon.
Can you tell me any specific reason for choosing Amazon over Uber? (Apart from the compensation)
