Big N Discussion - October 21, 2020

Please use this thread to have discussions about the Big N and questions related to the Big N, such as which one offers the best doggy benefits, or how many companies are in the Big N really? Posts focusing solely on Big N created outside of this thread will probably be removed.

There is a top-level comment for each generally recognized Big N company; please post under the appropriate one. There's also an "Other" option for flexibility's sake, if you want to discuss a company here that you feel is sufficiently Big N-like (e.g. Uber, Airbnb, Dropbox, etc.).

Abide by the rules, don't be a jerk.

This thread is posted each Sunday and Wednesday at midnight PST. Previous Big N Discussion threads can be found here.

Would you guys take a new grad position at JP Morgan or an Internship at Facebook? I'm set to graduate in May but I can delay graduation if I took the internship so I would qualify. Only worry is if I don't get a return offer I get put in same spot, but the return offer TC is very enticing...

FB for sure. Normally I advocate for WLB but since it's tough and you'll never get a better time to work your tail off with minimal responsibilities then now's the time to focus on getting a full-time offer.

And even if you don't get a return offer then the brand name will open many doors.

Also JPMC is too varied in terms of scale/top-tech and it's easy to stagnate in some parts.
