Ask HN: Should I do a masters at Cambridge or start as a new grad at Amazon?
Basically what the title says. I'm in the very fortunate position to be able to decide between the two trajectories. What do you recommend if my goals are flexibility and money in the long term?
I'd chose Cambridge every time. But that's because I think I'd enjoy the time on the campus much more than in the corporate hell of Amazon. YMMV.
