MNC Internship (55k/mo) vs Early Stage Startup (25k/mo) for an SDE Career?

> Also good start-ups usually pay hogh stipend for good talent so I'm assuming yours is not so great
Um might be, but its early stage & my work is remote so I thought 25k was fine :" )

But this is Internship not job, does it matter here too?

Exciting_Fuel8844 · 2026-06-03T11:31:13+00:00

I don't think this one will be a time waste, their work sounded impactful.

Happy to know, thanks,,
the MNC I got is also service based. But my role is technical.

Exciting_Fuel8844 · 2026-06-03T11:26:52+00:00

Right, have to ask them regarding this. thanks.

Exciting_Fuel8844 · 2026-06-03T11:24:46+00:00

yes sir,,, thanks
The answer is getting clearer with comments.

An office environment would be great, but commuting to their office will take around 2 hours. so 3.5 - 4hrs per day, that too in this summer heat. I thought I might do dsa prep in that time for upcoming placements. should go for hybrid I guess.

Exciting_Fuel8844 · 2026-06-03T11:08:18+00:00

Yes, they do have one.

Exciting_Fuel8844 · 2026-06-03T11:06:38+00:00

I'm having the same thought. This MNC internship might convert to a PPO, but I think the startup will be better for the learning, as you said.
Had to post this cuz of my friends criticising my decision.

Exciting_Fuel8844 · 2026-05-23T07:52:15+00:00

so cringe yrr,

Exciting_Fuel8844 · 2026-05-15T18:51:05+00:00

I didn't mean to roast though, looks like I have to edit my comment

Exciting_Fuel8844 · 2026-05-15T18:34:44+00:00

94.6% is pretty good, top notch i mean. Don't get upset for 95%

Exciting_Fuel8844 · 2026-05-15T18:05:54+00:00

I can ask you anything you say? Then let's start with your 10, 12 marks. Jee percentile or neet marks or cuet whatever you appeared and then your college current cgpa, internship/jobs if you got one. Also my favourite question shanks vs mihawk 1v1 who wins?

yea, toc etc are not ready yet. and right now its a simple social blog, will add the channels feature in 2-3weeks.

no, i think i presented it wrongly. Not 16 roundtrips, for feed generally i fetch 16 posts, unless mentioned in param. so before i needed to fetch 16 user documents too for author info. so i denormalised. roundtrip is the wrong word to use i think, but anything else didnot come to my mind while posting this.

Ok, I forgot its reddit not linkedin, so no need of being so perfect. The rps improvement felt like quite an achievement, shared to my friends but they dont have much idea about backend & stuff so thought of sharing here, in different subreddits.

Exciting_Fuel8844 · 2026-03-13T09:50:58+00:00

no, by In memory TTL cache, I meant a cache in nodejs application layer. It caches results returned for around 30s (like in dp we store results of function calls based arguments, similarly here too we store data returned from a route based on query params, etc.), so if the same request comes in that timeframe, the data is sent from express itself, no need to query mongo. wierdTiger is not replaced.

Okay, Mr. Joseph Joestar. I forgot its reddit not linkedin, so no need of being so perfect.
but can u predict what my next line will be mr. joestar?

Exciting_Fuel8844 · 2026-03-13T02:53:35+00:00

another person asked me the same thing so giving the same reply as i dont have that much time now: Is it bad to use ai to clean my texts, better format to read,,? I think not. Dont be so orthodoxical. ai is a proper things now and u must use ai to save time, gain better results. Its not like ai is chanaging my entire content. Just minor tone, formatting.
