What are the in house exit opportunities?
Hi,
I'm currently having an offer from BlueOptima and Cohesity and am conflicted between the two.
I have offers in the SDET profile.
Cohesity Inc is providing me MTS and @BlueOptima is providing SDET-1.
Glassdoor reviews more of less place the two companies almost equally, and the package being offered by the two is almost in the same range.
My preferences include:
Learning opportunities in the role.
Company's work environment.
Company's growth prospects, are also a consideration.
YOE: 2 years
Hats off to all the night shift people!

Where are all the cute lawyers 😍😛

Savings at a young age matter the most because of the power of compounding. Given that the pandemic isn't over yet, how do you feel about hunkering down a few more months and banking the savings? Once things are truly open, you'll get more bang for your buck in terms of socializing anyway.
Edit: banking was figurative. I meant investing. :)
I saved/invested strong in early 20’s...early 30’s now and looooovvvviiinngggggggggg ittttttttt

You are only young once. You have one shot at life. Do you want to look back at your 20s which should be the most fun and carefree of your life and think about how you spent it with your parents?
I spent my 20s and early 30s LIVING and experiencing life! Could I have saved more? Sure. Do I have thousands of wonderful memories and life experiences and friendships that make up for that? Absolutely! Am I still a millionaire today? Yep.
Live your life. Have balance. Invest in your 401k and don’t be a totally irresponsible nub. But, get out there and live life. You will never regret that.
Yeah, i haven’t even gotten my vaccine yet so definitely waiting til the fall if I do move out!
One counter point here - now is a good time to get a deal on rent in a big City.
That being said can’t echo enough what others have said about the power of compounding interest.
My advice given what you have described would be to give yourself a savings goal. Example: 6 months rent emergency fund for once you move out, down payment for a condo so you can buy when you move rather than rent, etc. This will put you so far ahead of the game and It won’t feel so much like you’re “missing out” if you know you’re working towards a milestone that will be really meaningful for you in the long run.
Edit: in case it isn’t obvious - pack up and move to the City once the goal is reached!
This is a nice way to frame it, thanks!
Set a goal, add 10%, move when that is met. The opportunity cost of living alone has never been lower. Many are still social distancing. Cities are not full-bore “open” yet. No concerts or festivals. This is a great time to ensure you have a safety net. I would stay while this continues.
Will the extra savings I’ll have by living at home make that big of a difference in the long run?
Currently living in the Midwest with my parents, have been here since March 2020. Was living in NYC before and loved my life there. I can’t wait to get back, but at the same time, I am able to triple my savings by living at home. Like the above person mentioned, I decided that I’ll move out once I hit a goal savings target. I am on track to reach that by the end of the summer, so I figured I’ll move back then, plus I am hoping everything is completely open at that point. if you are wanting to just get a feel for what city life is like, you could do it an extended hotel or Airbnb stay for a couple of weeks or something. 
That being said, once everything in your city is completely open, I recommend making the move! City life is very fun and exciting, I miss it every day. You may want to move back to the suburbs in a few years, but this is really the time to live in a city.
I actually lived in the city for about 8 months before moving back home with my parents in March 2020, and my college campus was pretty urban. I’m more looking for the chance to spend time with friends/make new friends and sort of live my own life before moving in with my bf or getting married or any of those things. So I think maybe a year long lease might be better for that?
Could you go back for the summer and do a short term rental?
Possibly - I was thinking about moving late summer if I did. We have some family vacations planned at the beginning of the summer
You can always make more money.. and hearing how responsible you sound, I doubt money will be much of an issue for you.
you’ll never get time back. Go live it up
