 Would you rather work for Microsoft or Amazon?
icey: Do you feel that you want to be a career developer or do you think you'd prefer starting up somewhere?If you think you want to be a career guy, go with Microsoft; it's golden on any resume and it has the benefit of treating its employees very well.If you think you want to be a startup guy, I'd say that you hear about many more people doing startups with Amazon in their past than Microsoft. Plus, Amazon is an expert in the efficiency game - they know what technologies can get the job done, and being exposed to that culture is great for forming the startup mentality.
