for you my friend
i would be nice and say take Viasat

#

but

#

i would be kind and say take Amazon

#

anw, based on ur priority, take Viasat, push Zon to Fall

silk yew
#

???? tf amazon

#

might be the stupidest thread i ever seen

bright linden
#

calm down supzon

#

they want stable

#

zon ain't stable rn

silk yew
#

it is for top performers

#

im sure @unborn creek is one of those

bright linden
#

they want laid back env

#

respeckt

silk yew
#

oh

#

bro the pay is so terrible

unborn creek
bright linden
#

you should try

#

tbh best is do both

#

see what you like

#

it's internship at the end; not ft yet

unborn creek
#

honestly pushing zon to fall if i can do that actually might be the best of both worlds for me, but i assume i'll have to skip a semester unless i can somehow convince zon to do remote for me lol

bright linden
#

nah, just skip

#

i mean, depends

#

do you like taking class ?

silk yew
#

u got zon offer?

bright linden
unborn creek
#

not at all

bright linden
#

yea, skip class

silk yew
#

😢

#

can u refer me once u get zon RO @unborn creek ?

bright linden
#

supzon calm down

silk yew
#

plz bro

bright linden
silk yew
#

u got zon @bright linden ?

unborn creek
#

see i actually feel so bad cause if i choose viasat i feel like im giving up an offer so many people would kill for

bright linden
unborn creek
#

like my brains telling me take zon u idiot but my hearts saying i'll be happy at viasat

bright linden
#

but the thing is

silk yew
#

lol fr

bright linden
#

think about tradeoff

silk yew
#

i would take viasat

bright linden
#

i gave my thought based on what you want

unborn creek
#

do u guys acc know viasat cause usually many people dont and i gotta explain it to them

bright linden
#

personally, if i MUST choose, i would go ZON

bright linden
unborn creek
#

yea lol im surprised

bright linden
#

maybe u can pivot from Viasat to SpaceX ?

unborn creek
#

that was my goal tbh

#

work few years in viasat, then if i ever wanna pivot i'll be headhunted by spacex, amazon leo, etc

bright linden
#

yea, do both

unborn creek
#

like aerospace stuff

bright linden
#

swe in space might be a thing soon

silk yew
unborn creek
#

i'll do remote from mars

bright linden
#

anw, try push

unborn creek
#

i'll honestly see if pushing my grad date from spring 27 to fall 28 could actually work without conflicting with return offers and stuff

bright linden
#

but i agree with you, recruiting is bad now

silk yew
bright linden
#

so unless u can put up another fight

#

or want to

#

that's also a consideration if you go zon

unborn creek
#

like even my friend knew a guy who interned at google, his entire team got 0 return offers and now hes working at all state insurance

silk yew
#

viasat pay is also pretty buns

#

i cannot lie

unborn creek
#

true but honestly seattle is just rainy and cloudy

#

atleast cali is beautiful

bright linden
#

you can write out the tradeoff and decide

unborn creek
whole nymph
#

lowkey i think the answer here is amazon no questions asked

bright linden
#

no no, there's no lowkey

#

it's a very important decision

unborn creek
#

like lets say u intern at amazon but ur just so behind all ur other coworkers, do they just kick u out or worst case no return offer

silk yew
#

nah amazon hires a lot of bums

bright linden
#

as i said, choose your fight,

  1. viasat gives you better security not that good salary
  2. zon gives you better salary and learning - aka hard stuff, no security for ro
unborn creek
#

honestly another part of me was thinking i do viasat for summer, and if i thrist for faang or big tech, just apply for new grad roles knowing i have a safety net

#

What am I reading 😭 take Amazon

#

Getting zon ro isn’t that hard either

unborn creek
#

ok hypothetically i get no return offer like guaranteed none. is it still worth to do amazon purely just for the resume name?

radiant egret
#

Yes viasat is buns ft

silk yew
#

uhave to be so incompetent to not get ro

radiant egret
#

U can do both if u want and it don’t rlly mess w grad date but zon internship to ro is pretty free anyway

unborn creek
#

tbh im not sure if i can even do both cause i assume they base internships on specific team needs and the managers, it wouldnt hurt to ask tho that'd be best case

silk yew
#

did u accept amazoon

#

if u alr accepted u cant ask for fall

#

@unborn creek did viasat last year so can vouch for the experience, its a ton of fun and a good work enviornment and they treat employees well. not crazy company for growth or tc but if you want that enviornment its great

unborn creek
#

i accepted viasat so i'd have to renege, amazon expires later next week

silk yew
#

oh ur good then

#

just try to push to fall

#

if u want

unborn creek
crimson vigil
#

sure

#

zon has a high return rate

#

r u concerned about layoffs?

#

also ye push to fall, lotta ppl did

unborn creek
#

apparently i checked my offer packet, it says your offer is only valid for the internship season (summer, fall, winter) and year you interviewed for. im not sure if i should still bother to ask for a deferral or just let go of it

nocturne basalt
#

if ur gonna choose viasat ask for push, otherwise ye j stick with zon summer

crimson vigil
#

what does that mean

bright linden
#

u don't even read what they do at Viasat heh ?

#

obviously not crudbob but also not ml/ai also

silk yew
#

bro it is crudbob

crimson vigil
still narwhal
#

why would you assume you're not getting a return offer at Amazon? a good majority of interns get the return offer.

zon ro was pretty high last year, i dont see any reason why it wouldnt be this year
