I have an SDE(MLE) 2 offer from Expedia with TC: 200K and an SDE 1 offer from Amazon with TC:160K. I really like the team at Expedia and what they are doing. Given the unpopular opinion about Expedia not being a good tech company should I still consider Amazon or should I just go ahead and choose Expedia. I can not negotiate with Amazon as the offer is from the student's program. I am an international student and will require an H1. Keeping the tech and visa in mind will I be at a disadvantage if I choose Expedia.

    If you're going on H1 choose Amazon. Looks better for your future and will get you more people to sponsor you in the future. If Expedia will sponsor and give gc then I'd go to Expedia

    Amazon might be have better 'prestige', but I'd say never sacrifice career progression (and desired career specialization such as ML work especially) for perceived prestigiousness.

    Someone else mentioned that it may look better for future sponsors if you choose Amazon, and while I'm sure it's possible, imo it's not worth giving up the Expedia offer.

    Expedia sponsors GC instantly after your manager's approval. So i think for immigration purposes Expedia is better.

    If i were you i would also negotiate GC as part of this
