#

isn't this just mandiant vs paypal

#

im like 99% sure you cannot put google on your res

#

i've heard good things ab mandiant

#

not too familiar with security so take my opinion with a grain of salt

#

but paypal overall is a much bigger name

#

altho i think mandiant carries weight in the security space

#

is your office going to be a gcloud office asw?

#

like on their svl campus or smth

#

sunnyvale

#

it's where most gcloud stuff is

#

icic

#

yeah idk then if you can actually put google on res

#

bc for other subsidiaries like activision you cannot put msft

#

yeah

#

i mean i think it does matter in terms of res value since putting google on it does make a diff

#

then put Google on res gladge

gentle marsh Feb 3, 2026, 5:27 AM

#

oh i mean in that case i think this is mandiant/g no question

#

completely subjective, if you know you'd be miserable at a role it's prolly not worth

#

financial security probably more interesting and good field to be in

#

and consultant will lowkey be ass

gentle marsh Feb 3, 2026, 5:35 AM

#

just reread the post, i think "security consultant" is not a good role tbh, seems like the work itself is not at all aligned with your long term goals

#

i'd go paypal fs

#

pp can also lead to stripe or ramp sec which is pretty goated as well

#

they consult lol, its little coding u just need to have technical knowledge

#

its basically no code

#

just advise potential clients

lucid cipher Feb 3, 2026, 5:38 AM

#

PayPal prolly better then?

spark grove Feb 3, 2026, 5:38 AM

#

idk but they got an internship for it lmao

lucid cipher Feb 3, 2026, 5:38 AM

#

I mean ur just helping out on stuff

#

Like it’s not an IB intern is doing the space x ipo

spark grove Feb 3, 2026, 5:39 AM

#

i think tech consulting can lock u in

#

to only tech consulting

lucid cipher Feb 3, 2026, 5:39 AM

#

Lowkey worse

#

gentle marsh Feb 3, 2026, 5:40 AM

#

#

spark grove Feb 3, 2026, 5:54 AM
