Episode 492: Fresh grads and startups or the goog


Listen Later

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions:

  1. Listener AWS multi-region is not real multi-region, ask me how I know asks,

    We’ve recently acquired some bright-eyed and bushy-tailed new grads. What have you found to be the most effective way to onboard new grads into development roles? How has it changed (if at all) since the advent of LLMs? I want to make sure my new-grad crushing machine is operating as smoothly as possible considering the recent advancements in developer tooling. Those new grads won’t crush themselves!

  2. Listener Taso asks,

    Early in my career I was all-in on startups. Then I spent seven years in big companies in leadership roles. I learned a lot, but the politics and the pace were so slow that at some point I’m pretty sure geological processes were moving faster than our release cycles. So I finally flipped some metaphorical fingers and quit.

    Since then I’ve been interviewing almost exclusively with startups… except Google, where I somehow ended up with an offer on a team I’d genuinely enjoy.
    You’ve both bounced between big tech and startups—if you were in my shoes, how would you think about choosing between the two?
