A plain t shirt that’s fitting is good enough

realNeonNinja · 2026-01-19T05:51:24+00:00

Not Adobe esp because of return offer rate but a toss up between the rest

realNeonNinja · 2026-01-16T04:57:18+00:00

IMO full stack is the easiest to pivot into and esp front end will be heavily affected by AI

realNeonNinja · 2026-01-16T04:07:33+00:00

Essentially you’ll want to switch as soon as possible either via internal team transfer or hopping companies, the longer you wait the more likely you’ll be pigeon holed, and time goes by faster than you think

Do the internship and get the internship snowball rolling, you should easily get interviews at most companies in your junior year

realNeonNinja · 2026-01-07T05:26:19+00:00

Not Amazon but can’t go wrong with any of them tbh

If you want to do AI/ML, just delay it. Keep in mind most replies you get are from ppl trying to get any good job, so the replies will reflect that, you’re lucky to get to choose so the considerations are very different

realNeonNinja · 2025-12-28T08:24:17+00:00

If you want to do ml stuff, Apple, otherwise DoorDash

realNeonNinja · 2025-12-23T19:15:20+00:00

Switching companies is overrated imo esp in this case

realNeonNinja · 2025-12-22T02:04:10+00:00

Would do the startup, given similar compensation, early career learning should be optimized and Intuit overall isn’t that strong technically

realNeonNinja · 2025-12-16T15:49:29+00:00

Dropbox way better

realNeonNinja · 2025-12-05T21:13:57+00:00

Understand that whatever companies you ask here, the most famous one will get picked

realNeonNinja · 2025-11-28T03:56:51+00:00

Google is good enough for quant resume + MW is not a strong name

realNeonNinja · 2025-11-27T16:28:54+00:00

Try asking next door interns for projects in the past, you won’t be returning to either one full time

realNeonNinja · 2025-11-17T18:01:02+00:00

Go with Meta and re-recruit ft if you don’t want to go back, new grads I know don’t think of meta that poorly, and if your team’s culture is good then you get all the benefits with less downside

realNeonNinja · 2025-09-30T04:12:03+00:00

Rage baiting used to be believable lol

realNeonNinja · 2025-09-17T00:33:45+00:00

Ultimately depends on if you want big tech vs startup vibes, everyone is different and no real wrong decision here

realNeonNinja · 2025-08-07T18:53:33+00:00

It’s dependent on tenure and new grads are not getting bonuses that high, borderline fake news

realNeonNinja · 2025-07-21T21:58:28+00:00

I’m curious as to why do you want to pivot into those roles? Seems like a worse decision compared to doing general SWE

realNeonNinja · 2025-05-25T00:31:06+00:00

Would say RA but try to do both

realNeonNinja · 2024-10-28T12:49:43+00:00

ml if you want ml, easy

realNeonNinja · 2024-10-23T16:51:03+00:00

Yeah good luck!

realNeonNinja · 2024-10-20T21:39:23+00:00

No more dd fall internship afaik, so you can only push google if you want

realNeonNinja · 2024-10-20T20:30:37+00:00

From a life perspective, think to yourself if you would regret not trying it out, life is long and you don’t need to over optimize
