I would go for Google. Once you have 2 years of work experience in Google you can go anywhere you want and get a job there. If you are good enough for Google you are good enough for anywhere. :)

Airbnb for remote option, or Google for brand name/benefits.

Google. And I worked at MSFT. Google.

Yeah Google

The ones with full time WFH.

Google and/or Microsoft for the name recognition.

However, AirBnB and Disney both give "points" or discounts for their offerings and services. I had a friend who worked for Disney take his entire family to Disney Land for free.

I’d probably look hard at MSFT or Google. I’m a consultant. I crave variety of brand name customers and engagements. I know the executive tier of each, giving a clear edge to MSFT.

Google, maybe Microsoft next. I turned down Square and Sonos to join Meta.

Not as interested in the rest.

Wasn’t too excited by the product at Sonos or their future outlook. Square came close because I like their business and connected well with the team.

I felt Meta had the most rigorous interview process and combination of smartest/friendliest people. It also helped that their benefits and offer were significantly higher than others.

MS or google for name recognition

The short: Would anyone be up for starting regular virtual co-working sessions? I’m thinking 2-3 rounds of [5 mins to set intentions : 45 mins of work : 10 min break]. The long: One technique I’ve found to stay focused is “body doubling,” i.e., having another person present while you’re working. I’ve had some success replicating this over Zoom/Google Meet. Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home
