I have went into team matching where the positions are 1:1 to the teams

They just do what the fuck they want

I mean: onversion interviews, 6 month processes, lowball, downlevel

#

They don't give a fuck about candidates lol

DataBricks, Cloudflare, Snowflake all seems cool to me

#

But as a new grad pretty much every big tech is good

#

Some are better than others but it's team dependent

#

You can apply next year with more experience

#

yeah the first company you start with isnt the be all end all

whole coral
#

No problem in the long run

#

I prefer focusing on learning and development in my first 5 years

After WLB and secure stocks

Kids in this server don't have wlb even in college, no need to fool oneself lol. Sleep deprivation, leetcoding during college holidays and applying to jobs one second after they are out
