I recently posted about a EE role but I got another offer from a place doing JS + Python while the EE role does C/C++/C#. If anyone could offer some insight into how taking either of these roles may affect me applying for new grad roles next year I would really appreciate it. My goal, interesting work and difficulty being equal, is to take a career path that will let me earn more money and advance more into the field, I suppose that means FAANG. Would one of the two be more amenable to this? I keep reading online that EE doesn't offer quite as much as other roles.

knowing C and C++ is not a bad skill to have

#

its also just an internship it doesnt affect the rest of your career by any means

#

and plenty of FAANG companies use C++ if thats your goal then i don't think it will be something that holds you back if you took an internship in that space

#

you should just take whatever roles interest you

#

its all software

#

i knew i would never want to do webdev and so i didnt look for those roles as a new grad, and so far it hasnt hurt me at all

if ur interested in quant firms since you said money, take embedded and improve ur c and c++ and low level knowledge as much as possible during the internship
