(Did you mean you'd choose company B?)


No, "company A" makes more sense from the context.

It's a matter of personal mental space: some SW engineers like to build things that work and solve problems in the "outside world". For which you invariably need deep domain knowledge. Technology is a tool, means to an end. "Company A".

And others like to tinker with technology, big picture be damned: it's all about isolated performance benchmarks, tech stack, purity. "Company B".
