I got a lot of useful information from my last post a week ago and got my last response from interviews and would like some insight on these two choices

Google Engineer Residency: 12 month program where after there is a high chance on converting to full-time
Facebook: 118k /200k /70k

Is the wlb as Facebook as bad as what I hear on here, that it's worth doing the 12 month residency and converting to full-time at Google, or is it over exaggerated and should I go with fb?

    Facebook. If you go FB now, you can always go to Google full-time after (higher TC than what they would give you now)

    If you go Google resident, the chances to go to FB won't be the same.

  • I hear residency will ultimately make you hate google

    • I had 3 close friends do it after college and and read a bunch of negative stuff online. So to each their own

      I was part of it an it was an amazing experience. The conversion rate as of late has been over 90% and you can connect early. The bonus is that you get to try different teams and see a good fit, especially since experience at Google (and other tech companies) is so highly based on the individual team/ product area

  • I've worked at Google before and currently work at Facebook. The residents I've worked with at Google have all enjoyed the program and freedom of trying two different teams before eventually converting to full time, but you'll make a lot more money working at Facebook, and your career will grow a lot faster.

    Facebook promotes much faster than Google, but it's also more stressful because you have a limited amount of time to go from 3-5.
