assume you can get any offer. no interview required. same level as your current role. which company and why?
mine would be anthropic. seems like the most exciting technical work happening right now and the culture seems genuinely good (at least from what i hear). also their revenue growth is insane which means RSUs would print

netflix. actual adult culture. no PIP theater. pay top of market. yes they fire fast but id rather work at a place thats honest about performance than one that gaslights you with "meets expectations" for a year before the pip

stripe. the engineering culture is legitimately best in class. every engineer i know who went there says its the best team they've ever worked on. also payments is a problem that never goes away so job security is real

apple. purely for the hardware+software integration work. nowhere else can you optimize from the silicon up. also cupertino > SF in terms of quality of life

honestly? a boring B2B saas company that nobody's heard of. 200k TC, 35 hour weeks, fully remote, zero drama. the prestige game is exhausting

jane street if we're being honest. the comp is absurd and by all accounts the work is genuinely hard and interesting. also the culture seems weirdly fun for a trading firm

not a company but: my own. i'd take the offer, work for 2 years, save everything, then start my own thing. the best career move is eventually not having a career
