rivian ro better than a new name on resume?

#

are ppl picking riv cuz they just started doing well or cuz name is better than verkada

forest mesa Jan 3, 2026, 1:27 AM

#

isn't rivian really close to tesla?

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 1:27 AM

#

yea office is a mile away lol

forest mesa Jan 3, 2026, 1:28 AM

#

can stay in the same house, then

#

if you like tesla job, extending thru summer is a good option

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 1:30 AM

#

tesla ft pay will prob be more than riv or verkada, so im trying to maximize resume value

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 1:30 AM

#

forest mesa if you like tesla job, extending thru summer is a good option

yea ill see after the first month or so

forest mesa Jan 3, 2026, 1:30 AM

#

does tesla p2 > 250k?

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 1:30 AM

#

i was gonna try networking into optimus or something for summer

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 1:31 AM

#

forest mesa does tesla p2 > 250k?

my team should be a bit over

#

is riv that much better than verkada lmao

#

i thought ppl say new name on res is helpful

forest mesa Jan 3, 2026, 1:49 AM

#

by summer, you will already have Riv and Tesla in your resume, which is way ahead of competition. adding Verkada may not matter. would like to hear other opinions

#

lol why is middleware and sim infra sister teams

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 1:54 AM

#

middleware owns the sim lol

craggy solar Jan 3, 2026, 1:54 AM

#

Ah

#

But not ALL sims right

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 1:55 AM

#

nah just teh ADAS sim stuff

#

software only sim for all the perception, planning, motion apps

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 1:57 AM

#

forest mesa by summer, you will already have Riv and Tesla in your resume, which is way ahea...

so riv tesla riv > riv tesla verkada

#

ig riv product is better

forest mesa Jan 3, 2026, 1:57 AM

#

curious. after Tesla spring, say you got FT RO. if you intern at Riv, how does it affect tesla RO?

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 1:58 AM

#

wont change anything, im grad may 27 with summer internship

forest mesa Jan 3, 2026, 1:59 AM

#

to me, riv tesla tesla > riv tesla riv. but that's just me

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 2:00 AM

#

makes sense, tesla summer recruiting hasnt started yet but that was the plan

#

i didnt want to take riv ro and renege for tesla if that worked out, which is why i wanted to keep verkada as summer backup

#

i could just extend my current team into summer if nothing else works out and drop verkada

forest mesa Jan 3, 2026, 2:02 AM

#

when is riv ro deadline?

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 2:02 AM

#

i was told they would give out ROs late january, assuming ill have a week max to accept

forest mesa Jan 3, 2026, 2:03 AM

#

i can see the dilemma here

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 2:04 AM

#

😭

forest mesa Jan 3, 2026, 2:05 AM

#

"3 summer interns on a ~10 person team?" what does this mean?

#

nvm. figured it out

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 2:05 AM

#

my team hired 3 interns for the summer and there are about 10 full time engineers

#

dont know if thats bad for ft ro

forest mesa Jan 3, 2026, 2:06 AM

#

if you are starting tsla early january, you will know how much you like your team and then decide on riv ro offer.

#

only accept riv ro, if tsla isn't a good fit

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 2:08 AM

#

yea makes sense

forest mesa Jan 3, 2026, 2:09 AM

#

i think your tsla ro chance will increase if you work for ~8 months

#

hope you will like mobile robotics team

tepid kite Jan 3, 2026, 2:46 AM

#

honestly

#

try to extend Tesla

#

and full send RO

#

otherwise take rivian

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 2:51 AM

#

extending tesla is usually possible apparently

#

if i do tesla and riv i possibly get 2 ft offers

#

extending tesla means i am banking on tesla alone

tepid kite Jan 3, 2026, 2:53 AM

#

good point

#

either way verkada out of the picture for now

waxen oxide Jan 3, 2026, 2:53 AM

#
