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?

Tier 2 University, CS grad and Investment Banking experience of 3 years

Facebook hands down

I’m having a hard time finding firms that are hiring entry level associate positions that don’t require at least 3+ years experience in-house. Should I start at a business law firm to get experience working with corporations first?

Does your assigned office location matter much? We got acquired and are currently integrating. Specifically, I have team members in Jersey City that are a quick subway ride from NY locations, but are hours away from their assigned NJ office by public transit. We're told it's policy that everyone is assigned to an office in their home state, but that it's okay to use visit any office location and not to worry about it. Is that all true? Will they not have to make that long commute often?
