Weird that the reasons don't include anything about the actual work. The work I envisage doing is a much more important reason than, say, prestige to me.
I mean for either company you are going to be helping a company to chase profits. There is nothing wrong with that. But let’s not pretend there is a deeper meaning to work than to exchange labor for money. None of these companies will see you as any more than a number. The only deciding factor would be remote work and money.

How many of the people saying Prestige are thinking career growth? What does prestige get you that's more important than career growth? (Consolation prize for parents who wanted you to become a doctor?)

I got LinkedIn and Ramp. I've never heard of Ramp in my life. I bet all the actual results for Ramp are buried under a mountain of people who clicked companies with a more widespread brand and then clicked prestige because it's the closest thing to "I have no idea who the other option is".
