PayPal: Fullstack Software Engineering Intern, San Jose, $46/h, $8,000 signing bonus, 12 weeks.
Capital One: TIP Intern, Chicago, $59/h, corporate housing provided, 10 weeks.
Last internship, one internship prior at a Fortune 500. I go to a T50 state school. Prioritizing full-time return offer compensation (factoring for cost-of-living), resume value, and return offer rate in that order.
Explanations would be much appreciated if you voted in the poll above! 🙂

analog iron
Idk about PayPal ro rate
smoky ice
i saw on another thread here that PayPal ro is near guaranteed
analog iron
But c1 is slightly better on all fronts imo except maybe res value which is prob equal
smoky ice
is it? i think the paypal pay is better no
analog iron
It’s Tip tho idk how that compare to actual swe intern
smoky ice
paypal is 163k
analog iron

smoky ice

analog iron

smoky ice

paypal is also a better layman's name imo
if that matters

I know, bro was asking when i pay people what do i use. They assumed paypal. NO ONE i know uses paypal. Everyone either uses venmo or zelle, for me I used zelle in the c1 app. Therefore, when sending money to ppl c1 has a higher role than paypal. That doesn’t mean c1 owns zelle

Tbh
Eithr one of these
Ideally u wanna leave after a year or two to faang or big tech

paypal has better pay
I did not know paypal had aura like that ngl
smoky ice
i didnt know either but i saw the levels once
its actually pretty good
and i saw a lot of prev paypal ended up at stripe
like by a lot i mean literally like hundreds
chilly scaffold
@upper gate Google?plaid?Uber? those are great stepping stones for where you want to be the summer after.
upper gate
like by a lot i mean literally like hundreds
Holy shit
Paypal used to be cracked tho
like it def lost aura
smoky ice
yes i think paypal in the 2010's was probably unicorn aura
or similar
bc of the exits
maybe now not as much, but its still better than c1 in my opinion
lowkey yeah
but its probably an excellent pipeline to stripe if you want to work there
rugged orbit
paypal is dead
smoky ice
yeah i think either way its a stepping stone
chilly scaffold
can you tell me your google interview process please @upper gate

i didnt know either but i saw the levels once
levels.fyi isn't particularly relevant here. PayPal flattened most of their levels and now people with like 5-10 years of experience are the lowest level, so the pay is inflated there. Most new graduate offers I've read online are $140,000-$150,000 (not counting refreshers). Honestly not great compared to Capital One especially factoring in Bay Area vs Chicago-- but worth a shot to see if anyone here might have better information.

Just an FYI if that's what your basing your advice off of.

PayPal cause a lot of ppl have c1

And yeah, PayPal is kind of failing as a company which is another concern. Well aware though that PayPal might have better "prestige" in tech spaces.

Poll is up here for anyone too lazy to scroll since there's been a lot of messages.

And yeah, PayPal is kind of failing as a company which is another concern. Well ...
it wont fail as a company for a very long time
its not necessarily failing, its just not growing, and stocks are forward looking
the company itself is doing very well, theyre making so much profit theyre buying back shares
gusty gust
Not sure about this rationale. You point out good things about Capital One but then say to go PayPal? Say more.
smoky ice
as far as i know the c1 intern program is excellent but
i think for future recruiting paypal work is more interesting and better res value
@gusty gust do you know what team at paypal yet?
has c1 done team matching yet?
gusty gust
has c1 done team matching yet?
👎
smoky ice
i think that paypal team is cool
risk management can be good if u want to go to quant
yeah
torpid hamlet
how does anyone choose c1 here
gusty gust
Hopefully I can land that for new graduate. I think either of these companies would help a lot on the resume toward that goal. But from what I've seen they seem to be pretty school selective unless a recruiter reaches out to you, and I go to a state school so it might be harder.
