Id say jp since res value and more useful language

#

For res Val

#

And ik a bunch of ppl with jp ro

tidal flint Dec 20, 2025, 3:37 PM

#

Workday definitely has better res value in tech

#

No one would choose jpmc over workday but seems like u hate Pleasanton so idk

ornate zinc Dec 20, 2025, 3:42 PM

#

#

Otherwise prolly workday

#

#

I chose an SDE role over workday software app dev recently

#

If ur team at Workday is swe adjacent then Workday is prob the move

#

Mine was a mix of XO and a bit of React, so very front-end focused anyway

#

If you can figure out what ur team at workday does that would be helpful

agile moth Dec 21, 2025, 6:11 PM

#

I would say it depends on the team/org. What org/team is it?

#

If the location is in Pleasanton, you can actually badge into any office for the RTO during the internship to count - so SF, Santa Clara, even NYC

#

They are - you don't have to be in PLS everyday

#

I work at Workday

#

yeah, i started off as an intern in 2022

#

yep

#

yeah - my assigned office is PLS but they track RTO as 50% for the quarter as long as you badge into any office

#

Anything not HR and Finance -those teams heavily use XO, the internal language, 80% of the time and maybe react, java, python. Outside of that, it's usually Java, Go, Terraform, Python. Right now, we have a new CTO from Google who heavily dislikes the XO stack and heavily encourages Cursor/Claude Code/etc so there will be some changes small changes made to the XO stack eventually - not a full overhaul.

#

The pay and WLB is good - for return offer - but I would be cautious of XO roles.

It really depends on what you prioritize. From my time here though, I did see a lot of people - XO Devs in my intern/new grad cohort leave for other roles such as Meta, Linkedin, Stripe. So not much a career killer but good to be cautious about.

#

Switching teams after interning/before new grad is not really a thing - you can express that to your manager but ultimately it depends on headcount.

#

It really depends on the return offer rate also, if I know I would be working on non propriatary things at JPMC - I would go for JPMC. If I know for a fact, I do not have to work in XO most of the time, Workday.

#

But if pay/WLB is the biggest factor, I would choose Workday

#

Regarding the Workday return offer, 99% of the time we give them return offers. We rarely hire for new grads cause we basically give interns a RO.

#

not sure what JPMC is

#

Yeah no worries, let me know if you have any questions

are you working in swe or app dev at workday?

agile moth Dec 21, 2025, 6:46 PM

#

SWE

flat gull Dec 21, 2025, 6:46 PM

#

might be why they are more concerned about using XO then

agile moth Dec 21, 2025, 6:47 PM

#

i did do some XO for like 2-3 months but SVP thought I was a better fit in a infra/arch team

#

I would add that if the goal is to learn - app dev is not it - at most you will learn frontend, react, some python for AI

the software engineering agile lifecycle, you can really learn at any SWE role

#

i interned at wkday last year, id say ro is good, resume val is prob better than jpm

agile moth Dec 21, 2025, 6:55 PM

#

also an important consideration is location

#

I live in SF so I commute on train which is 40 minutes if you are trying to avoid taking a car to PLS or paying a lot for the housing in PLS area

dusk saddle Dec 21, 2025, 6:57 PM

#

agile moth I would add that if the goal is to learn - app dev is not it - at most you will ...

yeah you prob wont learn anything meaningful but if u want to jump ship during new grad recruiting u can larp a bit on resume

agile moth Dec 21, 2025, 6:58 PM

#

yeah definitely

#

that seems to be a common thing with my cohort who have done XO for 2+ years - 4 of them went to Meta, 1 went to Stripe, a couple into AI startups in SF.

dusk saddle Dec 21, 2025, 7:00 PM

#

yeah most recruiters know workday as tech so you’ll likely get some good processes

after they interned at workday or they went full time for a while and then pivoted?

agile moth Dec 22, 2025, 2:47 AM

#

They interned, got a return offer at workday, then pivoted

sour tusk Dec 22, 2025, 2:47 AM

#

also you said I can actually live anywhere they have an office full time?

agile moth Dec 22, 2025, 2:47 AM

#

You would get taxed at your home office location so I wouldn't say actually live anywhere

#

So if your home office is Georgia, you would get a Georgia salary - lower band

sour tusk Dec 22, 2025, 2:48 AM

#

I see

#

I have an app dev offer right now is it worth asking if I can move my offer to a diff office?

#

currently in pls

agile moth Dec 22, 2025, 2:49 AM

#

It wouldn't hurt to ask your recruiter - so far a lot of teams are split between different locations

sour tusk Dec 22, 2025, 2:50 AM

#

gotchu

#

Thanks man

agile moth Dec 22, 2025, 2:50 AM

#

Yeah np

sour tusk Dec 22, 2025, 3:02 AM

but like if Im in chicago for a week or 2 during my internship I can work from there?

#

#

agile moth Dec 22, 2025, 3:08 AM

#

Yeah, there's actually a Chicago office

sour tusk Dec 22, 2025, 3:09 AM
