whats sentry ft ro rate?

simple prairie
#

Take sentry and run

shut hollow
#

c1 is like basically guaranteed from what ive heard, id make my decision based on that if ur a junior, but richmond is ass

shy marten
#

Sentry really?

azure fossil
#

like would it be dumb to take the "worse" option (c1) if they have more options on the east coast

simple prairie
#

I'd argue that your chances of getting C1 NYC RO are relatively similar to being able to find an NYC NG with Sentry on your resume

#

damn rlly? maybe i'm not giving sentry enough credit then 😭

shy marten
#

I don’t think sentry is that good tbh

azure fossil
#

^^ i feel like the name of c1 is bigger, but sentry would provide more hands-on experience

shy marten
#

Like I’ve seen ppl go from cap one to open ai

#

I feel like cap one is the obv choice here

#

Cap1 -> Openai pipeline goes crazy

shy marten
#

Plus I don’t really see ppl going from sentry to FAANG+

#

At least immediately

#

And this is your junior year internship right

#

It’s just like for new grad recruiting cap one on your resume is probably better than sentry

#

Even if sentry is pretty good

simple prairie
#

You somehow consistently give the most contrarian and just like ass advice

#

I respect it

shy marten
#

Also cap one pays more in a lower cost of living area

simple prairie
#

There's no way your argument for C1 is that you've seen people go from C1 -> OpenAI but not many go from Sentry to FAANG

#

tbf sentry takes like 6 interns per cycle, so like there's j not that big of a sample size

shy marten
#

I’m saying that I think c1 has better res value

simple prairie
#

Talent density at sentry is way higher, exit opportunities past new grad are much better. It may be temporarily true that C1 is slightly better for new grad purely because of bigger name but long term its much worse than sentry

#

Plus any newer company is going to value sentry way higher than c1

shy marten
#

Regardless of whether OP goes to sentry or c1 they’re going to be recruiting next year anyway

#

yea the deadline is coming up soon to decide, and technically i'm still interviewing for another company 😭

C1

#

People asking u to choose C1 is praying for ur downfall

#

Don't be dumb

#

Or go with C1 so that someone else can renege C1 for ur Sentry spot

uneven tundra
#

No one of them got it

#

A lot of people got nyc ro

#

Def not 100%

uneven tundra
#

yeah my sample size is only 3, but all I'm trying to say it's not guaranteed

uneven tundra
#

U can choose C1 for NYC but u might just get doomed to Texas or Virginia

#

Might as well go with the better company

oddly enough i have exactly these ng offers lol, i was a c1 intern last year too. c1 was great to intern at and i have 8+ procs going this year for ng so name is pretty decent. i managed to land nyc RO for c1 as well, and 80% of the locked in interns who wanted NYC got it too. that being said i'm heading to Sentry rn bc of better TC, cooler work, stronger talent on average, and better atmosphere(no PIP culture, recruiting process felt really personal etc.). feel free to dm with any questions you have

bitter peak
#

i hope u chose sentry

#

c1 is not a tech company

#

easy choice

#

yeah I'm going to sentry, but to be fair for the procs I'm also at a T10 ivy so
