I just recently graduated as a Software Engineer. I have two offers to choose from and I would really appreciate your insight. Feel free to ask any questions.
I have past experience (less than a year) as a Backend dev mainly around .NET Core.
Offer 1 (Startup) Junior Backend Position. Their tech stack attracts me. They focus on businesses’ analytics. They are burning money now. As far as I know no significant income to the startup is in the way. Coworking and shared workspace, rather noisy and disorganized.
Offer 2 (Big Austrian Bank) Start at DevOps position. I felt their tech stack was less attractive (lots of shell scripting, some Java, Perl), but the data is way more interesting (finance data) than offer 1. Servers are on-site. Mostly deals with a 3rd party software, and it uses a proprietary Oracle DB. SVN, which I have no experience with (plans to move to Github). Great team and mentorship compared to offer 1. Better office (quieter, not shared with some other random company like offer 1).
I can sense I can learn in both places, being the startup the one with the tech I can relate to the most, yet I felt more comfortable at the bank, in terms of the team and the office, and that it does not have a risk of disappearing.
I fear a DevOps position can close Software Development roles in the future, and that the bank can turn into a legacy nightmare (correct me if wrong please). Also, at the startup I can grow in seniority sooner, and learn modern-er technologies. But I also appreaciate challenges and learning much more about Ops.
Where do I want to be in 2-5 years? FAANMG.
