How can a grad tell they are going to work for a top company that is great for their career within a good team? Especially if outside the US so not necessarily just going to work for Google.
- brudgers 10y agoMy take is it was a good right out of school job. But it wasn't Google awesome. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8736450 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8736450 Anyway, regular devs shipping regular product is, to me, a better first job than remote work for most people. The people for whom remote work right out of school is less likely to be detrimental are probably people who were banging out open source or side projects while in school...i.e. those with a strong established independent habit.
- bbcbasic 10y agoOk I see. Tangentially, I remember when I graduated I would have hated work at home as the social side was important, and getting to hang out with other techies is a bonus. Now work from home would be good for the family life
