I am a fresher working in a fintech startup. I have been here for 2 months but all my work until have been basically upgrading node version and Python version and resolving some tickets in existing repos.
I talked to my manager about whether if the kind of work will change he said for 70% of the time. The work will this only and rewriting so e deprecated code. Freshers in other teams got development work from day 1 itself. But for them also they feel the work is kind of repetitive. Building scraper and integrating api again and again. There are some Exception.
Now I recently interviewed at Akamai and got a offer for sde 1. However here the team for which I interviewed was security team and here they say that the tech stack will mostly c/c++ and everything will be network heavy. Python and golang also may be used But most work is in c/c++. Also the people who interviewed me were system and security engineers.
Now my question is should I switch to akamai the compensation difference is 3lpa in base and akamai is wfh. Or should I stay here in the startup and try for a team change. (They say they allow you to change the team not sure how long they take).
My aim is to go into backend developer into big techs(not faang necessarily already interned there not as flashy as it looks from outside, i just dont to be in a startup bcoz they have no boundariesfor personal life). And whatever company I choose I plan to leave after 11 months as the work is not of my choice.
The tech stack at startup is python node js.
Which experience would look better on my resume. And If I join akamai will my profile transition into system side??
try writing down what matters to you
I want to be a backend engineer really like working of any product. I don't have that much interest in networks or security. And I don't want to transition to system engineer. I have two personal projects 1 app I want to launch and one SaaS product in the next 6 months to improve my profile for future. Ik it may sound spoiled but in future I only want to join companies where there is atleast some work life balance because my body can't take 14 hrs of work now only. This is what matter to me
Stay at startup and try to change the team
As far as I know Akamai is a great company to work for. Know a couple people there and they’re really happy with the culture and WLB
The brand name will help get your resume shortlisted but the actual problems you've solved on the job will decide how the interview goes. What was the Akamai offer like?
