I’m grateful to hold offers from all 4. Assuming TC is similar relatively speaking, what would be the best choice for a new grad?

I was thinking that overall ranking from what I’ve seen and heard would be Coinbase > AWS AI > Atlassian = Twitter.

- Amazon: I know blind hates Amazon but I interned on an awesome team that overall has good WLB, high visibility, and a great manager so the decision is a bit hard.
- Coinbase: by far the most coveted of the 4. They have the most upside, and by far the best product/engineering talent on average.
- Twitter: personally love the product and good culture but company from what I hear is subpar. Friend there is job searching and says there 0 growth, no meaningful launches in years, and still struggling with monetization.
- Atlassian: great culture from what I hear but don’t care for the products.

I would love to hear your thoughts and why? Thanks so much!

    Looking at coinbase staff eng roster it’s mediocre at best so don’t bank on its engineering talent

      @Intuit, that’s dumb thinking. Higher level prestige does NOT relate to lower level prestige. Tons of shit companies have ex-Google directors, that doesn’t mean the new grad swe at those companies is even close to comparable to a new grad Google swe. Careful with this thinking, prestige for lower levels is a LOT different from prestige at the upper levels.

    AWS ai is attractive. I would avoid Twitter.
    Why do you think Coinbase is so good? Is crypto a huge thing? At least in my circle it isn't.

    Atlassian is also good. So between AWS ai and atlassian for me.

      I think digital currency is the future. Atlassian is good but it’s really between AWS and Coinbase. And it’s really hard for me to choose bc I got so lucky landing on a great team at AWS.

    Go with atlassian if you care about WLB. You will realize how important those atlassian products are after you have worked in the software industry for a bit. Almost every startup/mid sized company uses JIRA, confluence etc.

    • I wouldn’t recommend Atlassian for new grads. Old code base. You will get bored very quickly. Would recommend seniors come to rest and vest.

      Atlassian is going to be a very different company tech wise depending on what product or platform you land on. Cloud platform teams and some of the smallet products have much newer codebases than the big older products.
