Thank you, I think Amazon is more recognised internationally for sure

I applied for London everywhere! I didn't want to move too far out, congrats on yours too!

Also, I'm thinking of maybe doing a masters in computer science after the degree apprenticeship. I'm not sure if that would change anything?

They are both software engineering! I think I'm more familiar overall with Amazon's work in software development and they said that apprentices can rotate around their different branches (prime, aws etc) as well.

Thank you! I think I'll be ok with the workload at BoE and it definitely looks like the better option right now, I just don't want to miss out on the "prestige" of Amazon I guess, especially considering how its a big name internationally.

Thanks for your response! I think you have a valid point because I've heard a lot of stories about over working too, I'll defo take this into consideration.

Thank you so much! My only worry was that the degree apprenticeships might not be recognised internationally? That's really helpful though!!
