I always wanted to build startups eventually and actually tried and failed once in college.
I have no background as my schools are no-names
As I’m graduating, I have two offers at hand:
Amazon’s main benefit is just the brand name, which I think YC kinda cares to some extent based on the admitted founders I observed. I still don’t know which org I’ll be joining so not clear about the learning potential.
Money wise: startup offers 30k higher than Amazon but Amazon has sign on bonus, stocks etc.
Visa wise: startup can help with o1 whereas Amazon can prob only do H1b
If you have built successful startups, I’d love to hear about your opinions on which choice would position myself better for building startups later.
