I have an offer from a FAANG company for a Customer Engineer role, and an offer from Goldman Sachs for Software Engineer. I'm a CS graduate. I've heard bad things about the engineering division at Goldman Sachs, but at the same time I'm not sure how technical the Customer Engineer role is. What should I do?

I think Goldman will give you a better handle on technical stuff personally

CE role is sort of technical.
They are client facing ore sales engineers...so your days consist of mostly setting up proof of concepts and answering technical questions

That is a really tough decision. Personally I would go for the role that will teach you more skills.

If you are fresh out of grad school and have not had a precious tech role...then I would head to Goldman.

If you have a few years doing tech work somewhere....then I would consider the CE role

I'd go with FAANG.

What are the bad things about Goldman Sachs engineering division? I am in a similar situation like you. Any insights would be very appreciated!

Interested to know average salaries
of an Assistant Manager in
Purchasing (London based).
I was promoted from Supervisor to
Assistant Manager within the last
month, prior to my previous
manager being replaced. This is my
second promotion in just under a
year at the company. Based on the
salary I feel undervalued and
demotivated (I'm on just over £30k
and have 3 direct reports in a team
of 12), particularly as my efforts to
negotiate my salary were shot down.
Any advice would be welcomed.

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level.

Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
