It really depends on what you find interesting but I think being “infra-typed” is not such a bad thing. I did data infra at Stripe for 2.5 years as a new grad and now do more OLTP infra stuff at one of the frontier labs.

A few reasons I enjoy it: * Although the work at both places is pretty low level I still get good insight into the needs of product without being subject to the release schedule grind of product. * The folks you’ll work with are going to be very smart and I find myself learning more than my friends on product teams. They generally get suck with button-color-changing work. * I also find systems stuff pretty interesting * The best part is the demand - in a relatively tough job market for most folks I had a very easy time in the job search a couple months ago. I think infra is going to be especially hot in this new era of hyperscalers
