#

how do u know if its aws or not

#

i think it makes way more sense to just have msft on ur resume even if you wanna do fintech, opens more doors

short wyvern Feb 28, 2025, 6:00 AM

#

tbh its ur call, you have to reject the zon offer first to get fall but its not gauranteed

#

personally what ive been told and heard is its way easier to go from big tech to fintech and not the other way around

#

personally id do msft and push zon fall and that way youd practically be able to go to any fintech u want for ng

#

ah just looked at it

#

circle summer and zon push then

#

looks like theres not that many entries for circle

#

tbh i dont really know what circle is

#

not sure where you see that about the 3 yrs to senior on levels

#

yah i think it only matters if the guy interviewing u knows what circle is

#

but teh other 2, everyone knows what it is

#

yah i dont think you can go wrong with either paths lol

#

what even was your process

#

first hearing about circle

#

only 390 employees

#

wondering the same thing, mine just says amazon but my hm is aws

#

think mines the same, guess well find out a few weeks before

#

i was told that msft intern is dumbaf, every intern just has the same project basically

#

but that was 7 years ago

#

i mean do what makes you happy tho

#

feel like it would be dumb to work somewhere else that you think u might not like when the pays adjacent

#

bruh 😂

#

its just an internship imo

#

what year are u anyways

#

lmao

#

if you doing for clout factors go fang

#

whats the reneg culture on msft

#

they blacklist?

#

just push zon fall and go circle

#

at least youll have a fang

#

zon fall gonna be a maybe tho, prob hit hc soon since so many people pushed

#

AJ where u interning btw lol

#

oh right

#

i feel

#

dont think they really bg check

#

i knew someone that did uber and zon both remote during covid

#

got returns for both

#

but yah msft in person is not gonna work

#

u dont put both

#

lol

#

u just get two bags

#

yo life gonna be hell 😭

#

why does circle pay such garbage

#

oh remote

short wyvern Feb 28, 2025, 6:36 AM

#

whats without neg do you know

#

200 also nyc tho lol

#

whens ur offer deadline

#

ahh yeah try that

#

but prolly not since hc is already limited

#

and they might just need someone for summer

unkempt sage Feb 28, 2025, 6:40 AM

#

is this junior internship

#

do you have big tech already

short wyvern Feb 28, 2025, 6:40 AM

#

yah then most likely not lmao

unkempt sage Feb 28, 2025, 6:40 AM

#

what do you have already

#

bank orz...

#

ok i think you go microsoft cuz it's big tech + still payments-y

#

if you wanna ride nyc cock go apply plaid after 2-4 years full time

#

...yk what i mean

short wyvern Feb 28, 2025, 6:42 AM

#

id still say big tech imo but i dont think you can go wrong either

#

meta and zon gonna be hiring crazy

unkempt sage Feb 28, 2025, 6:42 AM

#

i agree with andrew this is easy msft

#

zon has piss low hiring bar you can trip on it

short wyvern Feb 28, 2025, 6:43 AM

#

zon is just luck to get intervieww lol

#

barely hear people that dont pass once vo

#

try push fall and see what they say

unkempt sage Feb 28, 2025, 6:46 AM

#

short wyvern try push fall and see what they say

agree

#

i personally avoid crypto like plague

#

coinbase can give me 1M package as M1 and i will still leave

short wyvern Feb 28, 2025, 6:47 AM

#

unkempt sage i personally avoid crypto like plague

same lol no interest in the crpyto space

merry raven Feb 28, 2025, 5:20 PM

#

yeah Amazon is whenever

warm pivot Feb 28, 2025, 5:31 PM

#

ornate forge Feb 28, 2025, 5:54 PM

#

Not really tbh. It not easy as intern but it still lc and behavioral and maybe some ood

warm pivot Feb 28, 2025, 5:55 PM

#

take circle and forget it

#

tc is going thru the roof in the next few yrs

#

idk if i am

#

but the current admin is

#

and stablecoins already carry out so much transaction volume

#

and its only going to go higher

#

idt u can view circle as a crypto/meme coin

#

stable coin is much different

#

preserves the us status as world reserve currency even if all transactions are digital

#

their real regulatory issues are w the sec im pretty sure

#

and this admin is crypto friendly

ornate forge Feb 28, 2025, 8:12 PM

#

I thought it was 3 interviews as a final round

mellow tundra Mar 2, 2025, 8:47 PM

#

If interested in crypto => circle

ornate forge Mar 2, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

Circle is not that known though outside of fintech

#

Everybody knows what Microsoft and Amazon is

#

So resume value of Microsoft and Amazon would be better in the long run

#

What fintech startups would u take over faang? I would do if it's well known like Robinhood, Coinbase, Stripe, Square, etc

#

Circle is cool but I would not take it over any faang other than maybe Amazon

#

I would take Microsoft over Circle tho

#

I would put mfst slighltly above amazon

north ravine Mar 2, 2025, 9:26 PM

#

why those 2?

#

I thought cb was good

#

Rh heard mixed things tho

#

Where would u put plaid?

#

why

#

Are u interested in fintech?

#

So stripe

#

Is chime good? I barely know about it tbh

#

I think it’s cause they have low hc

#

They pay 200k NG which is kinda crazy

#

Wait can I dm u

warm pivot Mar 2, 2025, 9:35 PM

#

would u not take ramp over certain faang?

#

take circle

ornate forge Mar 2, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

not op, but i would take ramp over amazon and apple

median forum Mar 2, 2025, 9:50 PM

#

but also circle been attempting to ipo for years now and nevery come through. they not complying

#

that is why I would see it as shaky still. That huge drop in valuation few years does not help either

#

I was once eyeing on it haha

#

at some point 9 billion cap was sexy asf

#

yh true

#

I arrived a lil above 5 billion. but given bullishness on USDC under current admin (which I almost forgot) rn, 6+ billion isn't far fetched

#

oh cool. 6.5billion nice

#

for me I would take the mcrst

#

It is stable and also downgradable

#

what is the career progression rate like at Microsoft?

#

Ik lot of people when they get bored at Microsoft, they join risky startups and often make more cause risk. but again they do that cause they know they have Microsoft on their resume and risk taking is ok when you can bounce back easily haha

#

in terms of?

#

i guess that is the part i don't get fully

#

leveling?

merry raven Mar 2, 2025, 10:19 PM

#

Isn’t chime just literally an online bank lmao

#

what is so special about it?

warm pivot Mar 2, 2025, 10:35 PM

#

take circle

Wtf

#

LOL

mellow tundra Jun 6, 2025, 4:55 PM

#

Circle 😂

#

Crypto is the future

#

People in the server cope so hard when it comes to crypto

#

Look how BTC has held value against inflation and political instability compared to any other asset in the world

mortal dagger Jun 7, 2025, 7:23 AM

#

Microsoft 😄

ur too late for circle ipo so

jaunty spruce Jun 7, 2025, 6:23 PM

#

No May Mfs saying msft over amazon

#

But prolly circle

mortal dagger Jun 9, 2025, 2:45 PM

#

Everyone I know that works at Amazon is applying to Microsoft
Nobody working at Microsoft is applying to Amazon
I can tell you've worked at neither

jaunty spruce Jun 9, 2025, 3:09 PM

#

😂😂

#

Holy restartation

#

So ass

jaunty spruce Jun 9, 2025, 6:01 PM

#

What’r ur teams

tacit chasm Jun 9, 2025, 6:28 PM

#

if ur not redshift or ec2 or lambda or something else thats tier 1 AWS i think msft is the move

#

hard to beat one of those teams tho

merry raven Jun 9, 2025, 9:31 PM

#

Amazon is probably the most prestigious company aside from the obvious AI companies.

jaunty spruce Jun 9, 2025, 9:32 PM

#

yeah then makes sense

mellow tundra Jun 10, 2025, 3:13 AM

#

I think Amazon vs Msft is pretty tight

#

Both good names

#

Amazon does pay more

#

Msft better wlb
