I just graduated with a B.S. in CS in May 2023. I’ve been working at a big non tech company in a data engineering type of role with AWS and Terraform. My team’s culture, team members, and PTO hours are great. The work is easy, but I also don’t learn much from it.

I’ve only been at the job for three months, but I was just headhunted by a recruiter for a tech company similar to iRobot ( they don’t sell robot vacuums, but they sell hardware with similar levels of tech behind it and are in the same stage of growth and have also been recently bought out by a magma company). They are offering about 25% higher base than my current total comp. Both jobs are remote btw.

However, I am wary of the notorious culture of the magma company that bought it and how often that new parent company fires its devs. I am also wary of how a 3 month job would look like on my resume.

Edit: yes, this is in the US

    Can confirm, I was so stressed at my previous job that I became super strung out, had multiple stomach ulcers, it almost ruined my relationship, and I lost a ton of my hair. Toxic jobs are no fucking joke.
