By who? In order to do what?
You are very close to being a new grad and like most new grad you are asking the wrong question.
You are mentioning wanting to build a career at more than one company but you don’t say what kind of career you actually want. There is no one size fit all correct steps to take on a career. As you work for a big tech company straight out of school I’m tempted to think you have mostly been going with the flow until now. Figure out what you actually want to do and the next step will naturally come from that.
- suprjami 4y agoThis is the answer I give people too. "But I won't work at FAANG anymore". Does that really bother you? Do you want to work at your big company always? If so, talk to your manager to move horizontally. But if you are staying at this company just for the label and are otherwise unhappy, that's probably a silly reason to stay. There is plenty of life after big tech. These are value decisions you need to make for yourself. Forget what other people think or what looks sexy on HN. Look at what you value and what makes you happy.
