A recruiter reached out to me for an in-house position I really want. Is it actually beneficial to go through him vs. just applying on LinkedIn?

Yes of course. If it’s a recruiter that works for the company then do it. If it’s a recruiter that works for a recruiting agency then maybe not so much

This is good to know. 90% of the people that reach out to me are outside recruiters, and I’ve been wondering about this for a while.

I've had better luck with recruiters because they've already built relationships with employers and companies assume they've already prescreened applicants...something they may not have time to do.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
