I used to think only big brand companies mattered on my resume. Now I value teams where I actually learned something. Growth feels better than logos. Do you prioritize brand names or learning opportunities?

Both. Learning and growth are important, but brands (how recruiters and hiring managers see you) are also important on your resume

Fair point. Strong brands can open doors, but real learning is what helps you actually stay and grow once you get in. The best combo is gaining solid experience in places that also carry credibility.
