Visa vs Avalara, which offer should I accept for 1.5 YOE? /u/DarkRaiden72 CSCQ protests reddit

Visa is hybrid and package is exactly same for both but the advantage is it’s a well known brand and its easier to network and collaborate for learning, especially in the early stages of my career. The project, team and manager seems to be chill also.

On the other hand, Avalara is fully remote and they have good tech stack (they use Java, C# and golang) and good WLB.

Compensation is exactly the same (exact same number) for both the offers. Since I have 1.5 YOE, please guide me on which one should I go for.

To add more context:

The project in Visa is backed related, (they’re building a digital experience platform) and the manager has worked at top companies before (Amazon, Intuit, Huawei etc.,) and the team seems good too.

However I made the blunder of not inquiring about the project, team and manager at Avalara at the time of interviews, and now that I’ve asked, since it’s year-end and most people are on holidays, it’s going to take a few days to schedule a call for that discussion.

Also, my main problem is that I don’t have any proper development experience as I am currently working in a support role and although I have written and shipped code to prod to automate a few things, it’s mostly by myself so no scrum call, jira or agile experience. I need proper product building experience to progress into senior software Engineer roles in the future.
