Facebook. Goldman is not a tech company

I'm not sure I'd want to work for either firm for personal value reasons, but I think Big Tech is a stronger resume builder for someone interested in engineering. IT is always going to be a cost center at Goldman. It's a/the revenue driver at Facebook.

Mind if I ask about her background? Was she Ivy League / what was her major that she’s so sought after?

Facebook hands down

J&J or Google? I’m in final stages and expecting an offer on both ends. TC seems about the same but J&J is based in Skillman, NJ whereas Google is in Austin, TX. Non tech roles in the same domain - Main difference is that J&J seems to be a higher level role (senior manager) whereas Google is a more junior one (lead). Any advice?
