I have been a QA Engineer at a large tech company since graduating (~ 2 years). I enjoy QA and automation engineering, but I do have goals to become an backend software engineer. I am currently deciding between two offers:



Apple: QA Automation Engineer



Workday: Software Application Engineer



As some of you know, Workday uses a proprietary "interface/language" called XPresso, that supports object oriented development. Ironically, I will probably be doing a lot more traditional coding at Apple as an automation engineer.



Does anyone have any advice as to which role would be better for my long-term goal to be a backend software engineer?



Thanks!
