Can you share your TC?
TechX rotational program starts each new hire at TC ~95k. I currently have about 1 YOE
Very good for the YOE. Good luck!
Depends on the org. Some use flask or django. I think ISA uses MEAN for a lot. Know of some folks in TX office that use C#. If you are part of the rotational group you can use this as a chance to find the group with your preferred stack and dev habits. Some are more 'agile' and work as a team, others just let their development act as lone wolf devs and they work on smaller projects.
Thanks for the insight and for the good suggestion for what to look for in a team!
I do. TC isn't as good as faang, but great WLB and find the right team and you can sit quite comfortably. Sometimes leadership pushes things or teams use older tech, but its been a great starting place. Took hopping between several teams to find a good fit, which was a great thing about TechX.
How did you manage to push offer 2 months?
TechX starts at specific times of the year. They recruit students to coincide with their SR year or right after graduation typically.
Oh I see thanks! Do you like working at T-Mobile?
OP what do you currently do at Microsoft?
DevOps engineer as a contractor. WLB is not great, but hey, I wanted to try something new out of college.
Do you mean to say WLB is not great because you're a contractor there?
Depends on the org. Some are on ancient tech, some are bleeding edge (yes seriously). Good luck.
Can you give some examples of what they’re using that is considered ancient and what’s considered bleeding edge or more modern?
Ancient would be java monoliths running on weblogic on physical servers connecting to massive oracle databases which run on huge IBM frames. More bleeding edge would be a suite of golang micro services running multi region in kubernetes with service mesh and communicating over gRPC, fronted by an application gateway with end to end distributed tracing
They use Adobe Experience Manager to run their websites.
That really depends on the team not the company. I knew amazon was using adobe CQ for their marketing website too! So that’s entirely on the team’s project how legacy they were. T-mo doesn’t have a across board one solution such as msft or google. Internally stacks means nothing since every team uses different tools.
Maybe one or two teams, but that is far from an accepted standard, and certainly not a growth technology.
Used to work for T-Mobile Germany 10 years ago it was bloody Java EE stack
I have good news for you. You can return to T-Mobile and be completely ready to go.
Come in and get stuck
Currently SWE at T-Mobile. I agree with some people. WLB is amazing compared to FAANG companies. And Tech Stack is bleeding edge for some teams and some teams are still stuck with older projects like ASP.Net, but there are plans to upgrade.
