SDE Intern vs SDET Intern

Have an offer from a growth stage startup for SDE Intern.

Subsequently, also an offer from Fintech PBC.

Tech stack at Startup: Java, Spring, MongoDB

Tech stack at Fintech PBC: Testing framework and tools

Startup stipend: 25,000 Rs Fintech PBC stipend: 60,000 Rs

My inclination is more towards the SDE role purely because of the wide exposure while the money at Fintech is too good for now but there is not much room from growth and also with Al taking over Help me make a decision!

Don't join sdet, you can always earn more but sdet to sde switch will be hella hard

You can ask the startup to increase the stipend though

The difference between SDE and SDET is going to be the difference between IITs and some local TIITs college

Don't even think of joining SDET, unfortunately it's very hard to switch later on. You can always find a better company, but switching roles is big no

SDE. Money will follow.
It's hard to switch from SDET to SDE.
