I feel like Mastercard team isn’t mid? May be wrong that it isn’t mid but it’s working directly with their payment rails

#

And is PayPal that much better than Mc?

#

And i can throw away ro importance for now

fickle fiber Mar 27, 2026, 1:22 AM

#

restive tusk Mar 27, 2026, 1:25 AM

#

Can there not be a stable company

fickle fiber Mar 27, 2026, 1:32 AM

#

i mean im j saying its not stable and 4% is quite a bit for a finance related company

#

mastercard is not big tech

#

big tech atleast has upside

#

restive tusk Mar 27, 2026, 1:33 AM

PayPal will prolly give u better options long term if u re rec

restive tusk Mar 27, 2026, 3:06 AM

#

Okk

#

Alr bet

#

Even with team? Mc team seems better to me

#

But idk someone else said it doesn’t matter rly

#

But pp is some internal tooling

meager stream Mar 27, 2026, 3:07 AM

#

Honestly I was worried about that too for my decision

#

But like I realized j cuz we do an internship w one stack doesn’t mean we’re hard locked into that for life if RO yk

restive tusk Mar 27, 2026, 3:08 AM

#

Yeah fair

meager stream Mar 27, 2026, 3:15 AM

#

restive tusk Do yk if they give ways to find roommates

#

restive tusk Mar 27, 2026, 1:29 PM

#

I lowkey just put Workiva so I don’t only have one hypo and one real and I get it taken down

hidden swan Mar 27, 2026, 2:07 PM

#

I’d also say to take PayPal if u get it

restive tusk Mar 27, 2026, 2:08 PM

#

hidden swan I’d also say to take PayPal if u get it

Same reasoning? Didn’t know PayPal was that prestigious

#

I feel like team would matter more in the case between Mc and pp

#

But apparently not loll

hidden swan Mar 27, 2026, 2:09 PM

#

Yeah pretty much PayPal is prestigious there were a lot of founders of startups that are now really big that originally worked for PayPal

hidden swan Mar 27, 2026, 2:09 PM

#

restive tusk I feel like team would matter more in the case between Mc and pp

The problem is both are large companies and things change

#

Are you returning to MC?

#

like did u do a previous internship there

restive tusk Mar 27, 2026, 2:09 PM

#

I’m just afraid my res will be cooked with compliance shit

#

I just want a return offer after

#

Uh no

hidden swan Mar 27, 2026, 2:10 PM

#

Like how do u know the MC team is actually good if u haven’t worked with them

#

Seems like a stretched guess based on interviews but those aren’t always actually how it is?

#

Okay realistically tho

restive tusk Mar 27, 2026, 2:10 PM

#

hidden swan Like how do u know the MC team is actually good if u haven’t worked with them

I mean I’m assuming if lmao it’s a good stack and they told me they work directly on payment rails there

#

And I found someone’s LinkedIn on the team from pp

hidden swan Mar 27, 2026, 2:11 PM

#

I think

restive tusk Mar 27, 2026, 2:11 PM

#

So I know the work they put pretty good descriptions

hidden swan Mar 27, 2026, 2:11 PM

#

Before u even really think too much

#

You should focus on passing the PayPal rounds first

#

If u end up not getting through, then it’s not even a decision to make lol

restive tusk Mar 27, 2026, 2:12 PM

#

hidden swan You should focus on passing the PayPal rounds first

Well I interviewed back in Nov, and just couldn’t find a team so all they want to do is do 1 45 min lc style and rec said it’s basically just a competency check they said

#

To make sure I’m not a dud

#

So it should be a lock
