howd u get an offer from TheTradeDesk?

#

unless i'm misunderstanding the company name

#

ah gotcha - congrats on all offers!

#

im not too informed on ts tbh

#

my instincts r saying ttd or aws

#

aws def has a better resume name than any of the other two

low quail
#

Anduril

#

Aws

#

Tbf idk the trade desk res value that well

#

Ttd also pays more

#

Name

rare iron
#

better brand name + youd be working on a technology that half the tech world uses

hardy yoke
#

wtf does trade desk pay this much?

low quail
#

Yeah

hardy yoke
#

but AWS clearly

rare iron
#

do u have any loc prefs

hardy yoke
#

why is trade desk not considered prestigious?

low quail
#

Lowk id go ttd for money

pallid charm
#

aws > anduril?

fresh dawn
#

@gentle solstice do u know recruiter cg?

hardy yoke
#

Nah aws opens more doors

pallid charm
#

i vote anduril tbh

hardy yoke
pallid charm
#

why

low quail
#

Anduril is better aws and ttd though

rare iron
hardy yoke
#

and public/liquid money

pallid charm
#

but anduril is hyped

hardy yoke
#

also anduril pay isn't gonna be that goo

pallid charm
#

isn't anduril relative to pltr

hardy yoke
#

no pltr >> anduril

#

like anduril is good but think aws is the move here

pallid charm
#

yk the aws team?

fresh dawn
#

aws will overwork you, go with ttd -cg

hardy yoke
#

ttd doesn't have any res value

winged vector
#

I don’t think he knows the aws team

rare iron

#

Anduril mogs

hardy yoke
ornate mist
#

And if compensation is a consideration their equity is gonna go crazy after ipo

hardy yoke
#

like the pay is shockingly very good, but no res value

rare iron
#

ttd is somewhat well known imo

winged vector
#

Is ttd really that bad? Everyone is ex Microsoft

fresh dawn
#

what team were you on at ttd?

winged vector
#

Or Amazon

solar zealot
#

aws no brainer

pallid charm
#

ttd stock is dogwater apparently

#

but refreshers are good

#

their stock is v volatile

hardy yoke
#

i mean ttd is public tho

#

just auto sell

ornate mist
pallid charm
#

ye but their stock is volatile

#

so the value may dip to 10k or smthn

winged vector
#

Ttd just got added to s and p 500

hardy yoke
#

that doesn't mean anything

winged vector
#

The stock should recover

pallid charm
#

bro their stock has historically been volatile

#

what do you trust

hardy yoke
pallid charm
#

patterns or s&p 500?

hardy yoke
#

like doesn't really matter if you're not holding the stock

ornate mist
#

U can def get AWS again, Anduril is a once in a lifetime play in the equity

low quail
#

Anduril name is good

winged vector
#

Anduril work life balance is really bad I have heard

hardy yoke
#

you're not getting rich off anduril

pallid charm
#

^^

hardy yoke
#

AWS is super easy here

low quail
#

@wraith kettle

pallid charm
#

LMFAO

low quail
#

Thoughts?

pallid charm
#

doesn't tuff beef with you too spartacus?

hardy yoke
#

wait @gentle solstice do u have prev faang+

low quail
#

Yeah lowk he does

acoustic kestrel
#

anduril is better name, better talent density, cooler work, but annoying culture

rare iron
#

tuff beefs w every1 bro

weak idol
#

for learning and better outcomes anduril >>>

gritty iron
#

anduril by far unless you want to coast lol

acoustic kestrel
#

out of these I feel like its easy anduril no?

hardy yoke
#

a recruiter sees AWS > anduril ngl

pallid charm
#

cap

winged vector
#

No way

acoustic kestrel
weak idol
hardy yoke
#

i'm telling u guys recruiters are stupid

rare iron
acoustic kestrel
#

maybe a recruiter at mcdonalds lmao

winged vector
#

So many companies hate ex Amazon employees

pallid charm
#

why dafk

hardy yoke
#

like recruiters aren't CS majors i don't know why ppl find this crazy on this server

gritty iron
#

why are we optimizing for dumb recruiters just choose the better company bro

hardy yoke
#

recruiters no the big names faang, mango whatever

#

and maybe a shortlist their companies give them

#

like anduril is highly regarded but everyone knows what AWS is

winged vector
gritty iron
#

your anduril network will be infinitely better, at some point in your career ur getting jobs thru network

hardy yoke
#

i mean it's dumb but that's how the world works

weak idol
#

recruiters are not picking an aws swe over an anduril swe

hardy yoke
#

what do u think

weak idol
#

maybe at f500

hardy yoke
pallid charm
#

i feel like anduril swes will just have more to put on their resume

hardy yoke
#

like i think u guys are overestimating how prestigious anduril is

#

depsite the talent density

pallid charm
#

and hiring manager will see, and move the anduril guys forward

weak idol
winged vector
#

Anduril can’t be that cracked they are a defense company still

hardy yoke
winged vector
#

They are half ex Lockheed Martin

hardy yoke
pallid charm
#

anduril has more work tho

hardy yoke
#

lowkey a recruiter will think anduril is just some defense company

pallid charm
#

that equates to better experience

hardy yoke
#

and i mean defense companies feed to faang but still

#

so what's your take??

acoustic kestrel
#

even if aws impresses recruiters anduril is better for nearly everything else imo

low quail
#

😐

weak idol
hardy yoke
winged vector
#

Walmart could feed into faang doesn’t make it better then aws or ttd

hardy yoke
pallid charm
#

but anduril is relatively more well known

#

it's njot a random YC

rare iron
#

what matters to u most, pay, opportunities, smth else? maybe make a quick tier list

hardy yoke
#

when it does have res value + it pays more than anduril rn

weak idol
#

like bruh zon is not a quant feeder 😭

pallid charm
#

i agree that AWS is good but anduril has better work without the downside of being a no name

#

zon is a quant feeder

winged vector
#

Amazon ain’t that good bruh

pallid charm
#

i have seen aws -> HRT

hardy yoke
#

@wraith kettle aws or anduril?

hardy yoke
#

just go to linkedin lmfao

winged vector
pallid charm
#

?

#

HRT doesn't have thousands

#

what

winged vector
#

At aws

hardy yoke
#

bro i know 2 ppl

#

who personally went to radix from aws

pallid charm
#

fidelity could have 10k engineers and none of them would make quant

winged vector
#

One guy from aws probably got hrt it isn’t a feeder

weak idol
winged vector
#

Who the fuck cares about fidelity

#

Someone from community college might get Jane street doesn’t make it a feeder

acoustic kestrel
#

the actual exit outcomes of anduril are better than aws lol
aws just has a million engineers so obviously some of them are cracked

pallid charm
#

i have seen AWS -> HRT fulltime

hardy yoke
acoustic kestrel
#

average anduril swe def does way better than average aws

pallid charm
#

it's harder than google or meta

weak idol
#

also depends if quant is the goal, but either way anduril fs has better outcomes

gritty iron
#

W ragebait im ngl

hardy yoke
#

@wraith kettle what is your fucking opinion

#

why are u quiet td

wraith kettle
#

💀

pallid charm
#

oh shit

#

war's about to blow

acoustic kestrel
#

i feel like u should compare averages not outliers and average aws swe is lowk a bot

pallid charm
#

i don't agree

pallid charm
#

you have to assume you're capable

gritty iron
#

average aws swe is stuck at sde 2 for the rest of their chud lives lmao

wraith kettle
#

winged vector
#

Every gt or ut Austin moron gets it

winged vector
#

Why?

hardy yoke
hardy yoke
#

so anduril?

winged vector
#

Why?

hardy yoke
#

bro u said a why u being so cryptic today

#

rip i thought we'd actually agree on something for once

#

but it's ok

woeful hearth
#

I feel offended that I actually read this question lol

pallid charm
#

if you feel that you're stuck, can't you just interview for a better company?

gritty axle
#

how did u get aws then

#

was this from 2025?

woeful hearth
#

oh to me I would go to Anduril pretty easily

#

because not a fan of the other two companies lol

#

also where is the location of these companies that matters a lot lol if you're going to show the TC

pallid charm
#

oh damn

#

i thought it was bay

woeful hearth
#

I mean so your TC from Anduril is higher cost of living based

hardy yoke
#

How much is paper money tho

hazy barn
#

Actually

#

It’s very team dependent

#

Anduril has a lot of slop

woeful hearth
#

go Anduril.

low quail
#

hazy barn
#

Anduril atl is mostly slop prolly
