GitHub SWE Intern vs Amazon SDE Intern

[tepid sand]

GitHub easily unless it’s some frontend crud role, idk who is telling you Amazon but they are probably wrong

[vital belfry]

I'm curious why though

[tepid sand]

Resume value is way higher

Is this ur final internship

[vital belfry]

I've talked to a few interns who got / knew people who got RO

[vital belfry]

yeah unless I can get something Fall

There have only been two cohorts ever so its hard to determine although so far it has not been 100%

[gloomy tapir]

I would choose Github imo

It’s remote and has better wlb than zon

And pays as much as faang

[vital belfry]

prev vote

GitHub work sounds more interesting for sure

[muted kindle]

github easily amazon has negative resume value

[vital belfry]

this is so 50/50 lmao

[gloomy tapir]

Wdym negative resume value bruh

[vital belfry]

you just triggered this whole server

[muted kindle]

amazon makes it harder for you to get internships after because it makes your resume worse

[gloomy tapir]

Ok you trollin fr

[muted kindle]

Nah

do github

[unborn dagger]

Yeah the only place people can land after zon is meta cuz both mass hire 10k interns

[mossy charm]

github ng 130k, everything that needs to be said🤣

[gloomy tapir]

Meta doesn’t hire 10k interns, more like 2k

[mossy charm]

nobrainer

[vital belfry]

😭

[unborn dagger]

No way this is right

[prisma drift]

Take zon imo so I can feel better about bombing the GitHub oa

[gloomy tapir]

135k remote is nice at least when compared to 180k 5 days rto

[vital belfry]

It sounds like github ro was based on availability so it could be great or worse its impossible to know

not enough data

personally I want a job over 100k for ng

I dont see why zon provides a better big tech pipeline later on

seems like github could get interviews

idk

no offer yet I have final soon

if the poll hits 50/50 again I'm just reneging both

I feel like github really stands out on resume since its niche

how many ng are gonna have zon on their resume

[mossy charm]

work in burgerking, not many cs stud work there

[vital belfry]

ur so right

[mossy charm]

bk > quant

[vital belfry]

mc donalds pays 100k for swe I think

faangm

[prisma drift]

Nah zon gaps

[gloomy tapir]

U got Github OA? Cracked af. They just ghosted me

[vital belfry]

Pure luck

[prisma drift]

It’s actual luck bruh

idk how I got it

I bombed it anyways

[rose pawn]

Its amazon no doubt

[vital belfry]

Just get cracked at some niche Backend area idk

Idk what I want to do bro let’s be real

I have zero real world experience

Ive heard better things about the work / teams at GitHub then zon tho

That’s very true yes

[hot isle]

dang man that tough

[prisma drift]

not rlly, zon is the clear choice here

[icy pasture]

complete cap 💀

lets do some reading instead of spewing hate

https://www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/comments/rsxm3n/dear_former_amazon_sde_interns_how_much_value_did/

@vital belfry this discord hates zon because they hire a lot of people, arguably the worst out of FAANG and doesnt have great wlb. End of the day its STILL FAANG and dont let these aura maxers tell u otherwise

i think working at GitHub would be very cool because we all use it and its niche, but the pay is not even comparable. obv working at zon for more than a few years or even ft sounds not fun, but it opens many doors (not as many as other faang but its still good)

but wait to see ur team for both before making a decision

[unborn dagger]

ight we get it bro u peaked at zon

[icy pasture]

someones mad

[unborn dagger]

keep glazing bro

im almost finished

[icy pasture]

giving good advice = glazing

keep hating

[unborn dagger]

im at zon this place is shit go snap

[icy pasture]

so who peaked at zon?

[unborn dagger]

you

i peaked then had to go to zon

[icy pasture]

jus cause u got a bad team doesnt mean u can just give bad advice

[vital belfry]

I'm even more conflicted then before ngl

[unborn dagger]

Githubs better lol😂

[vital belfry]

poll won GH but comments majority zon

[icy pasture]

i think zon is about 50k better

[unborn dagger]

u can recruit to zon new grad u cant github

[crystal shale]

idk i think pornhub better

[sick flower]

Amazon is the only option here

[sick flower]

Can’t recruit Discord ng is that better than Amazon as well

Don’t pass up a relatively easy RO from a FAANG company with a clear pipeline to other companies

[sick flower]

This dude is tryna get off the Amazon WL don’t take his bait

[icy pasture]

😂

[unborn dagger]

You prolly think LinkedIn is the same as msft too 🤣 🤣

[vital belfry]

I think im gonna take github summer and request amazon fall. Thoughts?

[unborn dagger]

Ask former intern about GitHub RO comp

[prisma drift]

zon fall might be cooked bro

[vital belfry]

really why

[prisma drift]

cause everyone on it

for wl

[icy pasture]

linkedin > msft > github...

WHY would u ever want to work for the same company but get paid 30k less

prestige maxers are something different

[vital belfry]

I feel pretty positive for the wl idk why

they are still sending oas

seems like a premature waitlist

is summer wl a better chance then fall wl?

[icy pasture]

are u wl?

[vital belfry]

interview on mon

[icy pasture]

what

[vital belfry]

ahhh

[icy pasture]

homie doesnt even have teh offer yet

[vital belfry]

scroll up

lmao

alr have gh not zon

zon wl is lightwork tho

😭

[icy pasture]

i mean its not worth thinking about until u get the offer

[unborn dagger]

💀

[icy pasture]

u can also just skip the WL if u do well enough

from what ive seen

if u get WL ur basically on both WL unless u ask for just fall

[vital belfry]

interesting

im confused why the poll keeps winning gh

if 80% of the comments are zon

[icy pasture]

because theres a lot of people HATE zon or want off the WL

[vital belfry]

bro half this server is zon worshipers

[icy pasture]

thats just not true

idk what school u go to but u can ask anyone if they think zon is good and they will glaze

like normal people

not discord people

anyone who never gets a zon OA -> hating on zon rest of their life

anyone who gets a bad team at zon -> hating

anyone who doesnt get RO -> hating

anyone who goes to a better company -> hating

[vital belfry]

GitHub would also open doors for ng

[icy pasture]

im not saying it wouldt, u asked what was better

[vital belfry]

I just said opens more doors

[icy pasture]

amazon and ESP aws opens more doors

i promise u that

have u ever seen someone want to go to github after zon

https://www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/comments/rsxm3n/dear_former_amazon_sde_interns_how_much_value_did/

and read this please

[vital belfry]

sorry not more doors then zon, but it just opens doors is what I meant

[icy pasture]

yes it does, but if u ever have two options in life u pick the better one

[vital belfry]

I feel like every ng has zon on their resume though

[icy pasture]

"everyone"

this discord is poison

[mossy charm]

apple is worse

weird ass teams

[icy pasture]

sure

i think its debatable

[mossy charm]

nd hella lots of rounds

for worse pay

only wlb is good

[icy pasture]

bro maybe max 8 ppl from my school got amazon, 8-10 got apple,, 4 got google, same amount for meta

"everyone" does not get zon

its the most fs

but new grad recruiting is hard and wouldnt u rather have faang as a ro for backup

harder*

[vital belfry]

is zon ro 100%

[icy pasture]

and amazon is a great place to start ur career

[vital belfry]

obviously assuming you do good work

[icy pasture]

like 70%

bit lower amazon.com

seattle no tax

amazing nature

its obv not nyc

but whats with the hate

[vital belfry]

im from seattle its boring

[icy pasture]

also why would u want to do a remote internship

go have fun

[vital belfry]

summer obligations

[icy pasture]

if ur from seattle ig its different but i think seattle would be fun for a summer

[mossy charm]

not really, zon projects mog

nd u generally learn useful stuff

[icy pasture]

imo its amazon > apple > aws but its very debatable

[vital belfry]

how can you have two internships dated at the same time on resume

[mossy charm]

instead of sum swift or objective c lol

or sum weird apple internals

[vital belfry]

you think zon > apple?

[mossy charm]

for ng or intern?

[icy pasture]

in general

[unborn dagger]

I’ve seen kids with 10 commits get RO

[icy pasture]

idk they both are great no point comparing

[mossy charm]

thats what im saying

apple is vest nd forget

wlb is chill

[unborn dagger]

Kids with 0 commits get ro too

[mossy charm]

but pay is lowest too from faang

[icy pasture]

amazon is a good place to start ur career and learn

apple good place to finish

imo

[mossy charm]

aws is better for intern, better res value

[icy pasture]

apple can silo u into wierd technologies

[vital belfry]

did you get zon

[icy pasture]

i agree

[mossy charm]

i would put prolly aws > apple > zon for intern

for ng, i agree

[icy pasture]

yes, i am biased, but i also got other similar offers that I did not take

in terms of 'prestige'

[vital belfry]

anything else besides gh I would have taken zon over

gh is a very unique opportunity so its harder to decide

[unborn dagger]

Bro just sign it u don’t have a choice anyway

[mossy charm]

for intern zon is better since u learn more applicable skills there

[unborn dagger]

Ask for zon fall

[mossy charm]

what is the deadline for gh?

[mossy charm]

bro he doesnt even have offer yet😭

[vital belfry]

do you know what I'll be learning at gh? 😭

[unborn dagger]

He doesn’t have summer offer either yet

[mossy charm]

what year r u

[icy pasture]

junior

[mossy charm]

he isnt even on wl

💀

idk why we all yapping here

[mossy charm]

u trynna re recruit for ng?

[icy pasture]

i liked my aws team a lot

[vital belfry]

this whole server bias

either anti zon or zon cult

[icy pasture]

yes, but im happy with zon worst case

[mossy charm]

this server is d1 zon nd c1 haters

[icy pasture]

ive heard aws gets u a lot of interviews

[mossy charm]

but if u tell that to any of ur friends, they will glaze u

[icy pasture]

no just offers

[mossy charm]

im hoping for aws -> g, meta or db pipeline next year🤞

[unborn dagger]

Not any different from having any other big tech

Once you have one it’s whatever

[icy pasture]

no before

ion wanna dox myself too much

wdym? this was for this summer

[mossy charm]

i think hes going zon this summer

nd he got also offers from others

[icy pasture]

ur good

[unborn dagger]

Like

[icy pasture]

damn soph is good

ok woah

anduril ethical reasons?

[unborn dagger]

Personally woulda done anduril and grad early but I can see why zon

[icy pasture]

oh i see

i didnt pass final round anduril

[unborn dagger]

Prev unicorn was defense too?

[icy pasture]

i think i would have taken that over zon

but thats me

[unborn dagger]

No notion off season?

No fall only winter?

lol

[icy pasture]

oh that sounds sick

either way ur set for junior yaer

[unborn dagger]

That’s just rebranded Alexa pretty sure

[sick flower]

Amazon over Notion?

[prisma drift]

Notion soph year is crazy lol

[icy pasture]

alexa is aws?

[unborn dagger]

Amazon has no good AI

lol

[prisma drift]

Yea but tbh it’s mainly ur school💀

[sick flower]

Wait why did u take Amazon over Notion

💀

[icy pasture]

granted ive never used it tho

[sick flower]

Ahh gotchu

[icy pasture]

[prisma drift]

[unborn dagger]

Q is shit

[unborn dagger]

Onboard software ?

[prisma drift]

💀

[icy pasture]

[prisma drift]

icl tho that would be cool on res

[icy pasture]

all great options

[unborn dagger]

Naw

He got lucky with zon team match

He coulda been doing front end at Whole Foods too

[icy pasture]

wtf are u talking about luck

he probably chose because of the team he got

[unborn dagger]

wtf are u talking about

Team match is after signing

[icy pasture]

no u get HM in ur offer letter

[unborn dagger]

Mine got changed

It’s a placeholder

lol

[icy pasture]

for most ppl it doesnt

and ur acting like reng is not a thing

[unborn dagger]

Even in bedrock u could be doing frontend

[vital belfry]

zon holiday ui design

[icy pasture]

frontend engineer at amazon is a different role tho?

[unborn dagger]

Yah so not the main zon intern posting

[icy pasture]

or does fungible also match it

[unborn dagger]

Everyone’s project is just gonna boil down to make a lambda function basically lol

[mossy charm]

how is anduril progression?

i dont see any levels, is it just like palantir of hit base nd thats it

[icy pasture]

yeah

[unborn dagger]

No

[mossy charm]

bruh

[prisma drift]

dont they pay like 240k or smth💀

[unborn dagger]

It’s not flat pretty sure

[icy pasture]

L6 is like 450k

its not

[mossy charm]

all these defence companies the same😭

[icy pasture]

theres just not enough data points

[unborn dagger]

no?

[mossy charm]

oh alr

[unborn dagger]

Palantir is not a defense company

[prisma drift]

nah its cause its flat hierarchy

[icy pasture]

u think so?

[mossy charm]

i see people wth 10 years with 300k lol

[prisma drift]

yea

[mossy charm]

thats what im saying

[prisma drift]

not much career progression

[icy pasture]

oh yeah lowkey

[mossy charm]

fucking bobm companies

[icy pasture]

[prisma drift]

I would still work at palantir ng tho

[mossy charm]

palantir brother

[prisma drift]

palantir just sounds so orz

[mossy charm]

yea so go ng nd then hope

[prisma drift]

u can always pivot

[mossy charm]

yea not really much variation

[prisma drift]

palantir ng is like 220k

[icy pasture]

there def are levels just not that much

[prisma drift]

I think

[mossy charm]

yea its kinda flat

palantir brother

go for 2 years nd hop

[unborn dagger]

Anduril people are mostly young

[icy pasture]

a 300k salary and anduril 3 years ago would make u a multi millionare today btw

[unborn dagger]

And patriotic

[icy pasture]

stock is crazy

[mossy charm]

where is that info😭 ?

[mossy charm]

u can say that about any crazy unicorn

[unborn dagger]

Those who know

[mossy charm]

lmao

[icy pasture]

yeah but they are on good trajectory

[mossy charm]

💀

[unborn dagger]

It’s anduril not like Bloomberg bruh

[mossy charm]

[unborn dagger]

Nvidia was never good

Stock just blew up

[icy pasture]

[unborn dagger]

People start glazing

[mossy charm]

crazy ng nd then flop

😭

[icy pasture]

pump and dump ng

[mossy charm]

black logo curse

yea its cooked for international tho

[dense mountain]

🙏

^^

[icy pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/cavemanspongebob-caveman-spongebob-react-whatreact-gif-20206670

because zon bad

[unborn dagger]

@grave siren GitHub or zon

[grave siren]

Idc enough to comment

[mental latch]

meta hires <3k total interns stop yapping

[dusk canopy]

count this year is 1.8

[mental latch]

bros talking about 10k interns 💀

[unborn dagger]

Grats on meta

[icy pasture]

mirb 9.5/10 ragebait

[sand pasture]

github E1 is for mfs without a degree

new grads and ro's would be E2+

this is for SWE 2

https://www.github.careers/careers-home/jobs/3938?lang=en-us

i personally was recruited for swe 2 and then they cancelled my process bc they filled the role💀 but ya im pretty sure ur offer would be "SWE2" technically

their levels are just as stupid as microsofts

i heard ro can negotiate to e3 level salary but idk if thats trye

true

[icy pasture]

are u sure this is true?

github just doesnt recruit for ng

160k is still low compared to zon

@sand pasture for e2 theres not one person with 0 yoe reported on levels and only a handful with 1 yoe levels

and e1 offers such as this one ARE reported as having bachelors degree and are almost all return offers (since github doesnt or rarely recruits for entry level)

[acoustic forge]

how is this even a question go zon 💀

[dense mountain]

will be going zon

🫡

[tacit pewter]

Bro💀 why r ppl choosing gh

Cscd brainrot is actually real

[tacit pewter]

This poll is proof of how prevalent cscd brainrot really is

[icy pasture]

people hate zon so much they would rather this guy doom his career instead of giving good advice -_-

[acoustic forge]

op’s name is doom tbf

[tacit pewter]

Always ppl who never worked there eithe

Ive seen some crazy poll results on here but after this one

I dont think ill be go to cscd for advice anymore

[icy pasture]

fr brother

could be a lot of people who want waitlist to open up

[tacit pewter]

Doubt

I think its just brainrot

[prisma drift]

Damn gh won? lowkey think zon is better

[pine hemlock]

full time pay is 50k difference by amazon... defo take zon if its last internship

[tacit pewter]

Cscd is brain rotted i dont take advice from here ever

[fading anvil]

huh..?

[crimson apex]

zon gaps brotha

gh pays poverty

do atlassian remote, pinterest remote, or any other better remote company if prefer remote

[icy pasture]

meant other way

[fading anvil]

oh okay

I guess apple could be considered more of a hardware company than a software company

[icy pasture]

just my opinion, the pay is higher at zon and i think aws resume val if ur working on the right things is better than apple.

[fading anvil]

mind if i dm you?

@icy pasture dmed, might be in message requests or smth

[tacit pewter]

I think aws > zon > apple

Zon is overhated and apple is overglazed
