After a grueling recruiting season, I was able to get 2 very good offers, thus, a huge dilemma.

Which offer should I accept and why?

Being a sophomore, I'm definitely thinking about a company that'll serve as a great launchpad for my career, career progression prospects, and New grad TC.

Your input and opinion is so valuable and will really help me make a decision

- T.C is about the same for all of them
- Twitter (Remote)
- Slack (Remote, San Francisco)

    Slack = Salesforce.

    I chose to intern at Twitter over Salesforce and don't regret it.

      That’s true
      Tbh I’m just curious and keen to understand how you make career decisions. What do you optimize for etc?

      As an undergrad, I love to get different perspectives from engineers so it’s more of a general advice I’m seeking.

    • Sure I don’t mind answering any specific Qs around that. You can also make a post to get some more data points or search what prior people have posted (lots of previous advice posts)

  • What are your priorities?
    I know slack has great WLB, heard similar things about Twitter. Both are great names to have on your resume.

    Hey! Congrats on your great offers! I'd appreciate it if you could give me any insight or advice on the Twitter intern final round. Apparently there's a coding round and a data structures round?

    I’d try to find out what you’ll be working on. Having both on your resume will be a booster, but what you learn / are allowed to do at either place will make the difference.
