My understanding of map generation is basically:
- no two identical numbers can be adjacent
- 6 and 8 cannot be adjacent
But why does 859 seemingly never generate while 659 does?
4 months ago I graduated university and accepted a full-time offer from the company I was previously interning for. The work is genuinely fun, I like my team, and I am confident in the company's future potential. Despite being a startup we have reliable commercial clients and strong strategic partnerships, I have no reason to believe the company is going to go under any time soon. Our clients are very well-known so even though the company itself isn't well known, I can name several major corporations and government agencies that I've developed software for indirectly. The work has also exposed me to a diverse range of sub-fields within software engineering, ranging between CI pipelines, embedded development, C++ backends, and optical/machine vision algorithms.
After a recruiter reached out to me regarding a role that was posted at Lockheed Martin, I interviewed well and ended up getting an offer for a full-time SWE role. The TC is pretty much the same as what I'm making now, with the caveat that I'd be giving up on a small amount of stock options my current contract offers. The main benefit over my current position would be a security clearance that will make it easier for me to get jobs from other government contractors. Secondary benefits may include job security and name recognition, but I would argue both are debatable. Right now I have no idea what I'd be working on at Lockheed, but I suspect that it will be more bureaucratic and slow than the routine I have at my startup right now. I also won't have the same degree of ownership over my work.
Right now I'm leaning towards sticking with my startup but I'm looking for reasons I might be missing that would make the Lockheed Martin offer worth taking. Thanks in advance to anyone who read up to this point!
