what's ur team exactly ?

for snow

[dusky osprey]

Come to stripe twin

Fuck snowflake

[winter panther]

from what i've heard just having snowflake leads to a lot of quant interviews, but with stripe being fintech asw ur best guess is mine

being on a cpp team in snowflake will also help, but then again if you get a dist sys team at stripe it might be equal, so theoretically there isnt' a choice here that will far outweigh the other, but all i know is that i've seen a lot of snowflake -> quant

[brisk hare]

Both are solid, for quant though snow has a better pipeline

[spare zealot]

Snow>>

[zealous fossil]

Oh ok then

would snowflake lock me into quant, or is it also good for ai labs and other companies?

[fading mantle]

idk about snow, but fwiw, my stripe interviewers (and blind agrees on this too) told me that stripe is a pretty big feeder for a lot of top AI labs

idt snowflake would "lock" you into anything, nor would stripe

[limpid stirrup]

Stripe better for labs fs

[copper fractal]

stripe

[wild jackal]

Snowflake

Stripe has better tech and startup exits

[solid ravine]

Stripe > for big tech, ai labs and startups fs fs

snowflake marginally better for quant but ur gonna pass quant screens w stripe too

also stripe ro rate much higher

[blissful pulsar]

stripe gets glazed like crazy on here its wild

take snowflake, you could get stuck crudbobbing at stripe

brand name of prevs matters less than you think, and stripe vs snowflake definitely wont make a difference

the work you do will

[wild jackal]

Yes stripe is not that good

Stripe, Databricks, Netflix, Google glaze here is crazy

[modern mulch]

Snow > stripe for quant fs idk how good snow vs stripe is for big tech but both are good regardless can’t go wrong

[wild jackal]

Snow > Stripe for Quant

Stripe > Snow for Startups and Tech

You will be fine taking either

[modern mulch]

Why tf u care about startups once u got stripe tho

[wild jackal]

Top tier startups

[modern mulch]

Like what

[wild jackal]

Some people aspire for more

Decagon

Mercor

[modern mulch]

😭 bro idk about top tier but sure

[wild jackal]

Everything on this is an opinion

Nothing is a fact in this debates

[modern mulch]

Agreed

[wild jackal]

Your life at each companies will be the same pretty much

[solid ravine]

Don’t forget bb

[wild jackal]

Yes this too

[solid ravine]

someone said they turned down roblox, databricks and openAI for bb

[wild jackal]

LOL what

[solid ravine]

Yeah for “wlb”

[wild jackal]

That is fine then

It is the right decision

[solid ravine]

Bro rip growth

[wild jackal]

Not everyone values money and tc

[solid ravine]

Yeah they also wanted nyc

[sand condor]

dm me

[wild jackal]

Yeah nothing wrong with the decision at all then

[olive thistle]

why would mercor and decagon not be considered top tier?

[zealous fossil]

hmm, so yall are saying that I'll be fine with either one?

[zinc wolf]

Wait snowflake will shift to fall lol

Source - shifted snow to fall

If you can do both, do both

[fading mantle]

"glaze" and it's just some of the best big tech companies to work at 😭

it is true that a bunch of stripes are jumping ship for ai labs though

[wild jackal]

It is not that high paying anymore if that is what you care about

Several fintech have overtook it

[fading mantle]

are you thinking cb, ramp?

i think they're all pretty much equal atp

[wild jackal]

They are higher

[fading mantle]

idt that much higher. first year with stripe with intern bonus can be around $270k

and they expect you to promote fast

[wild jackal]

I am talking at the senior level

Stripe falls off fast

[olive thistle]

no

[wild jackal]

Stripe is still a top company though to work for

They all wont make a difference really in your career

[fading mantle]

a senior at stripe told me this bruh 😭

[olive thistle]

hes like 4 years late

[wild jackal]

People get AI labs from any company

[olive thistle]

promos arent that fast either

[wild jackal]

There are a lot of Amazon at these companies

Does not mean anything

Early on

Because the founder was ex stripe

Not anymore

[olive thistle]

wouldn’t be surprised

but i did say 4 years ago for a reason

[fading mantle]

Enough reason to take Stripe 😛

[olive thistle]

feel like people need to stop glazing the company they work at to remove bias from these offer evals

[wild jackal]

Does not matter

[wild jackal]

I agree

[fading mantle]

Yall couldn't tell I was joking

[olive thistle]

it wasn’t directed at you i just scrolled up and checked who voted on either side of the poll

[wild jackal]

This is heavily why Databricks is massively glazed here

[fading mantle]

Anyway, idt stripe is being overglazed at least in this thread. a lot of people are saying it's fine to choose either, including me

[olive thistle]

not sure this is super relevant in the decision making

if his goal is not getting an ro

3 months is not a lot of time for things like this to matter much

[fading mantle]

if his goal is quant/ai labs and his team on snowflake is more database engineering, i don't see why not try for stripe too. tbh u could renege either one once tm for stripe finishes

[olive thistle]

theres some stripe people just doing crud projects

or ai one shot projects

i think on avg snowflake does a better job giving good work to interns

[plush basalt]

After offer or during hm?

The poll is literally 50:50 lol

[modern spruce]

snow

[rotund turret]

yo can I dm you about stripe? i finished hm and I wanted some perspective on a decision I need to make. tldr I can choose to defer my process to the toronto office instead of seattle, or I can gamble that I'll make it off the stack in seattle. can dm more details if you're ok with it

[dusky osprey]

@modern mulch is in the toronto office he might be able to help you more

i lowk got no clue

[rotund turret]

okok goated

[dusky osprey]

@orchid pulsar too

[modern mulch]

U can try deferring someone told me it worked

Hc is pretty low at Toronto and a bunch of ppl alr got offers

[orchid pulsar]

^^^^

agree

[modern mulch]

Not sure if it still works becuz it was acc the recruiter that reached out to the guy to defer

To Toronto

Idk if u can ask the recruiter

[orchid pulsar]

also stripe alr likely has a waitlist for us seattle that includes people who've been waiting

so even if people did renege i doubt you'd be near the top since u just finished hm

[modern mulch]

Yea if u want stripe prolly just ask to defer but it’s still no guarentee

[rotund turret]

do yall know if its a queue (i.e. whoever finishes hm first gets considered first)? or is it like priority queue where if u cooked on the technicals you'll get considered higher?

[modern mulch]

No clue

[rotund turret]

cause i think i did really well on the technicals, but I'm not sure if they care that you did the best, or if they just want you to pass a bar :p

[modern mulch]

The score doesn’t seem to have much relevance I’ve seen a mixed bag of scores accepted

[rotund turret]

welp ok, then its probably smart to defer then

[modern mulch]

Yeah If u really want stripe prolly defer

[orchid pulsar]

u got any other options?

[rotund turret]

i got ghosted by atlassian and i have citadel superday which is 1% chance yolo

so no

😭

[orchid pulsar]

then stripe prolly good option yeah

[zinc wolf]

I shifted after offer

[lament viper]

Would Harvey fall into this category? I have a ft offer from both and idk which to choose

[copper fractal]

no harveys i trashh
