[noble lion]

And nepo

[urban ore]

lowk just use ai to make test cases

[noble lion]

That's what happened to IB and law I think

Seems to work well enough

[urban ore]

otherwise its low aura

[proud mauve]

But then how can I get a job bro 😭

[urban ore]

so just make it nepo 😭

[noble lion]

Your suggestion isnt any better

[proud mauve]

Kanu is switching up on his day 1s

[green elk]

this happened to IB like 20 years ago

[noble lion]

Prompt engineering interviews

Whatever you say to the ai it'll just one shot the whole problem

[noble lion]

I'll nepo u bro 🙏

[verbal sonnet]

they have some hardcoded instructions to nerf the shit out of the given model, I guess you could spend 10 minutes trying to jailbreak it

[proud mauve]

To where 💀

[noble lion]

Idk

Eventually I will

[proud mauve]

Thanks bro

🤩

[noble lion]

Oh

So the ai assistance is for debugging mainly

[verbal sonnet]

yeah, or for synthesizing existign code in the given repo

[opal needle]

😭🙏

paid feature btw

[opal needle]

otherwise why would they give u the ai, u think companies don’t know candidates would just try one shottinf

[noble lion]

It lowk just might be an excuse to make the problem way harder

[urban ore]

just give out more hard problems

ai assisted ones sound so dumb

[noble lion]

"u have access to AI so u get a harder problem" but the AI is useless

[noble lion]

It would make me not respect the company anymore and not want to work there

[opal needle]

fade projects bro

just do leetcode

[noble lion]

Yea I agree prev/school/nepo is the way

[urban ore]

ye lowk but like meta and netflix do ts i heard

nepo 😭

[opal needle]

ngl cs is already turning more nepo these past yrs

it will be like IB and law soon

[urban ore]

its always been nepo

its prob less nepo now

than like in 105

2015

[opal needle]

really?

[urban ore]

bar is just higher

[swift moat]

What do you mean 💀

[urban ore]

before its prob nepo + behavioral

[opal needle]

ig that’s fair like google used to hire ppl from ivy leagues primarily cuz there was no good way to gauge who to hire jus hire the “smartest”

[noble lion]

Nepo is like networking with your parents

So I don't see the issue

[urban ore]

@swift moat do i watch classroom of the elite

[scenic oyster]

yes

[urban ore]

okk

[verbal sonnet]

I think I read that article, it was complaining that they didnt visit enough minority/dei colleges

[noble lion]

Can they visit Purdue

[urban ore]

can they visit kennesaw state pls 🙏

[frank hornet]

google needs intellectual diversity hires

they can hire our freshmen

[swift moat]

it's highkey entertaining

[swift moat]

it's a lot less nepo but prob more school-selective

[nimble oak]

tbf i think part of it is also that most cs majors suck at playing the nepo game 😭

but if ur good at it or are in the right deomgraphic it can take you really really far

[opal needle]

what is the nepo game

dont u just ask ur friends and family

[nimble oak]

like "networking" in general / making connections

[swift moat]

that's true but like refs have mostly lost their effectiveness in tech over the years

so even if u could do it, it wouldn't be that effective

[nimble oak]

oh wait yeah i agree ofr big tech it's not important till you get to high levels

but for smaller companies and in startups it's insanely important

academia too

[swift moat]

yeah fs, i think the small amount of ppl who play the networking game do benefit tho

[austere path]

how does one do this tho

just go crazy with linkedin recruiters dms?

[undone mirage]

dming recruiters is genuinely useless ngl

😭

[swift moat]

cold emails, mutual friends, etc

i wouldn't msg recruiters directly usually

[austere path]

deadass?

[undone mirage]

yea

[swift moat]

it's p useless imo

[undone mirage]

they dont respond

90 percent

of the time

[austere path]

gng

[undone mirage]

just use mutual connections for references

cold dm them

[austere path]

mutuals friends wont do shit for me

[swift moat]

wait why

ive have mutual friends do stuff for me

[narrow sierra]

Cold email the CTO

[austere path]

they not at big tech😭

[undone mirage]

rip

[swift moat]

nah for big tech u just pray to rng gods

refs are useless

mostly

[austere path]

do i just dm engineers on linkedin

[narrow sierra]

What if you get referred to an opening on a specific team

[austere path]

yeah

[narrow sierra]

Surely that helps

[austere path]

ngl i though big tech was actually skill

until i saw it myself this cycle

with zon process

[narrow sierra]

Everything has an element of RNG

[undone mirage]

it is

the amount of skill correlates with your school ranking + prevs

https://tenor.com/view/hehehehe-gif-7793894093801286605

[narrow sierra]

There’s still rng

[austere path]

eh

[narrow sierra]

Especially early on

[undone mirage]

better your prevs + school -> less rng needed

[austere path]

i feel like its still heavily rng

[narrow sierra]

True

[austere path]

this is correct

[barren cliff]

How much would emailing recruiters help?

[undone mirage]

scroll up

[barren cliff]

nah but ig cold dming diff than emailing

[undone mirage]

i cold emailed like

10 recruiters once i think

only one replied

[sharp ledge]

hi

[undone mirage]

or two

[barren cliff]

a lot of recruiters would still read emails atleast i hope

[neat hemlock]

hello fellow ngmis

[swift moat]

this is more of like a warm referral which is always useful but you're genuinely like never gonna get one of those

[undone mirage]

hi nepo me into quant

[nimble oak]

be an abg

in the bay area

[sharp ledge]

no can do

[barren cliff]

I need an abg

[undone mirage]

😔

[swift moat]

https://tenor.com/view/think-use-your-head-clever-be-wise-gif-8351934706222928794

[sharp ledge]

one abg please

[austere path]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/HFKAkF3XkAAdJ4g.webp

like ppl always say network and shit

but like how

[undone mirage]

the z2s and jeff nguyens of the world will surely respond to your call

[austere path]

shit genuinely seems useless if ur not at a T10 school

[barren cliff]

1 out of 10 still p good? others might js have read and considered?

[austere path]

like if im from a T100 and trynna go to google

[swift moat]

it mostly just works for much smaller companies

[austere path]

who am i possibly networking with

just gotta apply and pray

[undone mirage]

i got referrals from this disc

[narrow sierra]

I saw a guy get messaged by multiple principal engineers on Twitter by posting what he had been working on

[slow cipher]

Yo who wanna refer me

[narrow sierra]

It was an ML lib from scratch

[austere path]

makes sense

[narrow sierra]

So like that’s also an option

[austere path]

is this the method

[narrow sierra]

Aura farm on Twitter

[austere path]

i gotta start doing this

[barren cliff]

I saw someone from loo post their own ml model td..v cool stuff

[austere path]

but idk anything impressive enough to build

like whats impressive nowadays

[narrow sierra]

Yeah that guy

[austere path]

feel liek the bars raised so much

[narrow sierra]

He got multiple nvidia devs in his dms

Prolly guaranteed proc

[barren cliff]

Dayum

[narrow sierra]

Maybe even offers

[barren cliff]

he’s alr blox inv?

Inc

[narrow sierra]

Idk but he can get nvidia for sure

[barren cliff]

damn this is acc crazy one good proj can get u sm

[undone mirage]

can u send the post

[barren cliff]

Yes

[narrow sierra]

Ofc

[austere path]

like i was thinking of building a multi agent system with one acting as a junior dev and one as a senior reviewerer that ppl can use

[barren cliff]

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aadi-kulshrestha_i-trained-a-12m-parameter-llm-on-my-own-ml-activity-7451338178231373824-JerA?utm_medium=ios_app&rcm=ACoAADEGM5QBjKIliconIWi_6vATixWfaWZrzuY&utm_source=social_share_send&utm_campaign=copy_link

[austere path]

💀

yeah gng

its over

[narrow sierra]

It did a lot better on Twitter

Had a lot of ppl glazing him

[barren cliff]

Im sure

x appreciates these projs a lot

[narrow sierra]

Ye you can get procs if you do stuff like this

[barren cliff]

im wanna do smth really good this summer

[narrow sierra]

Especially at startups

[austere path]

bro goes to waterloo and he started college a year after me

truly levels bro

[swift moat]

the replies 😂

[barren cliff]

Lol

[narrow sierra]

Yeah and a principal Eng

Both said to dm

So prolly guaranteed proc

Maybe even offer

He got blox it mogs lowkey

[barren cliff]

im realizing grp of ppl like us who r online and active w this stuff is p small?

tf😭

Holy

holy

[swift moat]

holy goat

[barren cliff]

now that this is done, is smth similar good to pursue or nah

[scenic oyster]

i thought nvidia mog for lowlevel

[austere path]

i dont see why not

[barren cliff]

Yeah

[austere path]

might not get the same results but it might catch someones eye

good for learning regardless

[barren cliff]

i got 3 ml procs this cycle and ig a project like this would bump up a lot

[austere path]

i need to get into more ml

[austere path]

did u start with ml theory from the ground up

like all the math

[barren cliff]

Yeah that was my start through uni courses, but the procs i got were because of applied ml i had on my res

[scenic oyster]

if ur gonna be a mle u dont really need to know a ton of the math

unless u wanna do grad level ml

[barren cliff]

u need to know theory for interviews, but im sure for resume u need more applied ml

[scenic oyster]

most of those guys r stats phd

or applied math phd

[barren cliff]

yea

[scenic oyster]

im math and ds so i took more courses on math background tbh than applications but its not useful for project

doesnt teach u to actually make models and stuff just y it work

[tranquil sand]

Pretty much I mean the GPT 2 training set is public and can be trained in under 48 hours

With a 5090

Hold on let me fact check that

[scenic oyster]

with a 5090 😭

[barren cliff]

ig js start working and ull figure out if u know fundamentals

[scenic oyster]

nerf co op program man

[austere path]

oh ok

[austere path]

ok so were do you start if you just did backend swe

just start using pytorch nd stuff ?

[scenic oyster]

im ngmi it swe man dont ask me

i made a few good models tho pytorch is good

[austere path]

lmaooo

[scenic oyster]

i made my own fantasy football point pred neural net

but thats more ML

[mighty pike]

Worst day of my life

[barren cliff]

js have vector stuff qdrant rag

multi agents

[scenic oyster]

i think thats ai eng not ml eng

big dif

[barren cliff]

i have nlp stuff like keybert, umap optuna etc etc

[barren cliff]

Hmmm yeah trur

but mle is also kinda this id say?

[scenic oyster]

idk depends on company

[barren cliff]

yeah ig

[austere path]

like i knew basic ml theory like gradient descent and basic regression and multiple regression but not sure if thats actually useful for ml eng

[scenic oyster]

some mles do like rag but most do like grunt work ml

[scenic oyster]

gradient descent is useful

[barren cliff]

im not sure if mles do grunt work

[scenic oyster]

bro im pretty sure they do unless ur phd

[barren cliff]

since a lot of em work w recommenders personalization etc

[barren cliff]

What kinda work ur sayin?

[scenic oyster]

like most is tuning params or feature encoding

[barren cliff]

Ohbyea

Ofc

im sure

[scenic oyster]

you dont get to build models or research

[barren cliff]

yea

[scenic oyster]

theres def exceptions if ur cracked

[barren cliff]

for sure

i dont wanna build models bro

im fine w tuning😭

[scenic oyster]

lowk most ML is just regression man

but just more and more stuff added to it

but theres other cool models fs

[nimble oak]

wtf orz

[nimble oak]

orz orz

im actually so gapped

[red whale]

Summer 27

What companies open up

[winged cargo]

Yooo that’s me

[winged cargo]

Lmaooo

[lilac hemlock]

https://giphy.com/gifs/anime-disappointed-healer-NS1TWP7rfBVar27C82

[lean scarab]

if I alr accepted an offer for the summer but I still have a recruiter screen coming up at a better company, should I disclose my accepted offer?

or say I have an offer with a deadline instead

[balmy trellis]

ur project is so comprehensive great work man. Haven’t tried it out but its like u made a real framework not a toy for learning

[winged cargo]

W ty man appreciate the kind words 🙏

I’m gonna keep doing more I really like the ML sphere

[balmy trellis]

tuff tuff

[balmy trellis]

Making a similar project rn with way smaller scope c++ and eigen wasn’t planning on supporting gpu training do u think working in the team made the project more solid

[steel wind]

Guys for someone to still be in zon proc and want t start internship on may 18th, will it be enough time to go through bg checks, onboarding, and getting an apartment

in under a month

assuming I get an offer next week (hypo)

[winged cargo]

It was more fun fs. We kept each other motivated

[tulip spruce]

are jobs possible this sunday in the great 2027 summer

[crystal pendant]

larper job hop alr mr publisher in the journal of ieee

[tulip spruce]

im h1b cap selected cant switch jobs now

[crystal pendant]

unc wouldn't get it

[crystal pendant]

[tulip spruce]

i work basically everyday

but its cuz im slow

[crystal pendant]

can ibm interview me

[left crow]

hello fellow ngmi

[tulip spruce]

dm for mai ref, guaranteed interview but u will pay with ur mental health

[urban ore]

how does this work

like u have to wait for someone to sponser u again

or is sponsorship like a time thing where ur sponsored for x years

[tulip spruce]

it means if i wanna switch jobs i have to either

1. wait till oct, start on h1b then transfer or
2. forfeit my h1b this year and try again next year and switch immediately rn
   i was planning to not start on h1b till next years oct cuz i still got my stem ext. till feb 2028 so i will be just wasting 1 year of it

oh well

this is what its like to have minimal rights

[urban ore]

damn wtf

ts is ass 😭

bro deadass just marry @crystal pendant

[tulip spruce]

give me opt refer

[urban ore]

and give him like 15k

[tulip spruce]

[undone mirage]

grind never stops

[fast holly]

tbh i dont really like swe

i want to become a manager or smth

so i dont need to write much code

[undone mirage]

not like you're writing too much code in the first place

just gets less and less with time

[coral cedar]

aren't you in proc?

[gritty breach]

hello fellow ngmi

how are you on this ngmi day?

[indigo arrow]

was the community apprenticeship for a specific team in roblox?

[undone mirage]

no its just swe internship

they team match you

based on a form you give them

teams look at your form and be like do i want this chud

[undone mirage]

i failed

i failed everything

im relegated to the banana plantation

[gritty breach]

:(

[undone mirage]

im such a fat fuccking chud

its ok

2027 our year for sur

[indigo arrow]

ohhhh cuz iirc team matching like wrapped up when the app came out 😭

I thought it'd be for the specific lua/roblox dev facing teams

[undone mirage]

nah just teh same pipeline for community apprenticeship

[livid topaz]

damn roblox has the same tm form as Google ?

[indigo arrow]

oh damn

[undone mirage]

tm is guaranteed at roblox*

not google

[indigo arrow]

do you do it before int or post offer

[undone mirage]

lol

post offer

[livid topaz]

oh

what was the difference between the general opening and the apprenticeship

?

[undone mirage]

ones made for college students

ones made for roblox devs

and they all funnel into the same role essentially which is a swe intern

so that means

people who have already graduated can even apply for community apprenticeship

you just need to be a roblox dev

[livid topaz]

oh damn new method for internship

[undone mirage]

post grad trying to get internsihps 😭

[neat hemlock]

feeling particularly ngmi

[urban ore]

is this larpable

which one is easier to get into

[indigo arrow]

apprenticeship has an extra round compared to the general one right

[neat hemlock]

no

[undone mirage]

not really cause in the last round you present your games you've made

[urban ore]

hmm

[gritty breach]

me too

[neat hemlock]

the roblox game dev pipeline is less rounds but a harder into

intv

my friend did it

[urban ore]

might need to vibecode a brainrot game

[undone mirage]

1 tech + 1 behav -> 1 portfolio review vs normal swe which is i believe 1 tech + 1 behav + 1 tech

that i have?

[livid topaz]

fucking

[undone mirage]

it can be any game

[livid topaz]

Can I show

Them mincecraft mod instead

[urban ore]

??

[undone mirage]

no 😂 has to be made in roblox studio

[indigo arrow]

Ohhh yall got the 2nd tech replaced with a portfolio thing

[livid topaz]

Fuck

[indigo arrow]

Makes sense

[undone mirage]

cant say no doxx 😳

[livid topaz]

Like a slender man creepypasta mod

[undone mirage]

cause you can find the range of games that have this player count
and then i'm sure it'll be very easy from there for reasons i won't specify 😂

no

failed last round due to

who knows

maybe they didn't like my answer to their follow up q's

yea

i shoudl've done better

fuck

someone rewind time for me

[indigo arrow]

We’re all interviews back to back?

[undone mirage]

i am

[urban ore]

congrats on 0 users

[livid topaz]

fuck are you going back to zon this summer?

[undone mirage]

yes

banana monkey

ooh ooh ahh ahh

[livid topaz]

Ngl zon bananas are good

[urban ore]

how many zon is roblox?

[livid topaz]

I ate like 3 everyday

[urban ore]

@peak cave

[undone mirage]

roblox is like 1.5 zons

😭

[urban ore]

hm

[livid topaz]

Roblox is 2x zon

[undone mirage]

2.5? dam

[urban ore]

ye im thinking 2+

[undone mirage]

yea i think 2 zons is a roblox

😔

[livid topaz]

wait people outside of tech don’t think it’s aura though

[undone mirage]

its ok cause apparently my zon team is cooler this year

i think ill be working on some

ml infrastructure

[urban ore]

its corny outside of tech 😭

[coral cedar]

we love jassy

[undone mirage]

cause my whole team is just applied scientists

plsss

🙏

[livid topaz]

we love aws

[coral cedar]

whats aws

[urban ore]

imagine walking around with roblox swag

[livid topaz]

Might be 1.75 zon

[urban ore]

ye lowk

[livid topaz]

pedo

[livid topaz]

Idk

[undone mirage]

nah everyone thinks its tech

[urban ore]

nah they gonna think ur some loser game dev

[undone mirage]

tech people + young people think its aura

[livid topaz]

Wait I thought people think of it as pedo game

never really got into Roblox so wouldn’t know

[urban ore]

nah

[undone mirage]

nah

its more discord tbf

[mighty crypt]

roblox is trash

[urban ore]

?

[undone mirage]

they add them on roblox and then they move to discord where they proceed to groom them

[livid topaz]

This is an untrue statement

[undone mirage]

so discord is def one of the big problems

[livid topaz]

Roblox 2x zon then

[urban ore]

alpha drop ??

[undone mirage]

its true 😭

[livid topaz]

Wait how does like

2 of the same internships scale

[mighty crypt]

compared to roblox yeah

[urban ore]

i tohught u cant even type on roblox

[gritty breach]

my friend got blox internship this summer and the perks are genuinely insane

[urban ore]

its like only 18+ people

[mighty crypt]

zon is like 100x blox

/srs

[urban ore]

what do they get

[undone mirage]

that's teh whole point of the feature

[urban ore]

W roblox

[gritty breach]

roblox doesn't pay you a crazy high salary (sorta on par with faang companies)

[livid topaz]

they treat you so well

[livid topaz]

it doesn’t matter benefits make up for it

[gritty breach]

free food, compensation/benefits for basically anything you can imagine

[undone mirage]

p sure someone here said roblox ng is the highest ng publicly traded salary or something along those lines

[gritty breach]

free transit in your area ofc

[undone mirage]

250-300k

[livid topaz]

icarus what’s the bear min salary I need to lock in

[urban ore]

[undone mirage]

all this roblox talk..

[distant harbor]

[undone mirage]

i need to leave..

[livid topaz]

I was thinking 1M

Ur standards are pretty low

[balmy bolt]

no why would ur summer care ab ur fall

[undone mirage]

you guys want to see a real pipeline?

[mighty crypt]

even intern is quite good

[urban ore]

nah it could be good

[undone mirage]

roblox to quant is real

[livid topaz]

ok I see

[undone mirage]

😔

[urban ore]

ye roblox c++ teams lowk feed into qunat

quant

[undone mirage]

FUCK

[urban ore]

idk about content safety tho

[livid topaz]

Roblox c++ op

[gritty breach]

Roblox -> Anth

[undone mirage]

im getting mad thinking about it

ill fuck off now

[livid topaz]

Thanks for this advice

[livid topaz]

I didn’t know blox c++ was good

Apple

[tranquil sand]

I wish I got blox

[mighty crypt]

no u dont

[livid topaz]

Zon is like 1x Zon

I guess

[narrow sierra]

Game dev c++ and quant have a lot more overlap than ppl think

[livid topaz]

Is AWS like 1.2 Zon

Or like 1.1 Zon?

[narrow sierra]

Zon is the single greatest employer

[indigo arrow]

How good is Roblox non c++ team?

[livid topaz]

Zon making us all upper middle class

[urban ore]

framemogged by walmart

[mighty crypt]

what team r u on?

[livid topaz]

ngl Walmart interns get the nicest housing I have seen

[livid topaz]

Pretty good

[narrow sierra]

Good

[gritty breach]

no

[indigo arrow]

ROS

[gritty breach]

putting inc on your resume is kinda cringe

[livid topaz]

What is different between systems swe and normal swe at Nvidia

[mighty crypt]

ahh i see

[gritty breach]

you're just fishing for clout with nothing to show for it yet

[livid topaz]

Nah shows you made it in

[mighty crypt]

have u gotten ur mentor yet? i didnt get mine in my tm email

[narrow sierra]

The point is to show you were able to pass a companies interview proc

[gritty breach]

ig that matters if you have no prev

sure

[livid topaz]

What is systems swe

[narrow sierra]

It matters either way

Putting ur summer on fall resume is good

[livid topaz]

I think it helps your resume lwk

If you put incoming

[indigo arrow]

Just manager and new recruiter 😭

Have u met ur manager yet?

[mighty crypt]

same

[mighty crypt]

ye i dont think he fucks with me tho

ro might be cooked already

[livid topaz]

is Roblox ro high

[mighty crypt]

define high

[livid topaz]

Like if you don’t bum around

you get the offer

🫩🫩

[mighty crypt]

yes

BUT the cope is that past two intern years its been better

[indigo arrow]

😭😭😭

Mine was pretty chill

He mentioned the free food

[livid topaz]

Google RO is probably cooked this year though

[mighty crypt]

mine was strictly business

[indigo arrow]

Have u heard anything abt return intern rates?

[mighty crypt]

he was russian tho and all russians are intense

[opal needle]

g

gg

[coral cedar]

its how you farm later internships?

[mighty crypt]

nothing official ive just been surveying around from previous interns on infra teams and how ro rate was for them

[livid topaz]

this is true I saw it with my own eyes when chaeyin applied to fall

[livid topaz]

Probably right ?

[opal needle]

idk

[mighty crypt]

and it seemed like 75-80% got it

[opal needle]

psat years its if u finish proj and RO right

[mighty crypt]

but sample size is small

[livid topaz]

Feel like they over hired this year

[livid topaz]

Yuh

[indigo arrow]

Oooh yea I asked my recruiter and it’s pre much a black box for them

[opal needle]

damn

its over

[indigo arrow]

Surely intern ro is easier than ng tho

[opal needle]

lots were rejected

right

[mighty crypt]

r u soph/

[urban ore]

wym

like recruiting ng vs intern?

[livid topaz]

I guess but there were so many offers on LinkedIn around Christmas and recently

[mighty crypt]

returning as an intern

[urban ore]

oh i see

is teammatch easier for ng people

[mighty crypt]

intern -> intern is higher ro rate from the blox discrod

its like 5-10% differeence

[opal needle]

intern ro what is the point

js lock in

[mighty crypt]

[indigo arrow]

[livid topaz]

Canada

[mighty crypt]

ahh no matter

blox > waterloo

[livid topaz]

blox is that much aura I didn’t know

U have no aura u only made 500k starting

[urban ore]

waterloo without waterlooworks is like t80 in the usa

hot take or no

[livid topaz]

What is the ranking

[urban ore]

chud factory

[livid topaz]

Ok so like

[craggy moth]

waterlooworks is mid.

[livid topaz]

Let’s say the base CS school is like UMD

[craggy moth]

its good for the first few coops

[livid topaz]

What is loo in comparison to UMD

[craggy moth]

get u out of the trenches

loo > UMD ngl

[livid topaz]

Like 3x UMD?

[craggy moth]

for everything recruiting

[livid topaz]

[urban ore]

[livid topaz]

Yuh

[urban ore]

loo

[livid topaz]

Like 2 UMD is loo

[craggy moth]

2 maybe its a lot

[livid topaz]

Can’t compare Apple to oranges

[craggy moth]

loo has a big ass cs cohort

and ofc there will be cracked ppl

[livid topaz]

so would you say like

[craggy moth]

theres also ass ppl

[livid topaz]

1.6 UMDs is like 1 Loo

[urban ore]

the ass people also do well compared to equal ass people at other top schools

[livid topaz]

What is Toronto

Like 1.1 Toronto = 1 Loo

[craggy moth]

nah..

UMD > toronto

for cs recruiting.

[livid topaz]

UMD a feeder to Amazon but isn’t that it

Florida: May 18
Drive to NYC May 19 - May 20
NYC: May 20 - June 14
Drive back to Florida, stay with family
Move into new place June 22

[unique robin]

he truly is

[worthy palm]

woah never woulda guessed that

[noble lion]

Yea

[worthy palm]

Someone asked

Okay fine. NYC is nothing like any of the major cities in California

They are all completely different

[crystal pendant]

austin nasso

[worthy palm]

LA ain’t walkable at all

It’s buns

SF is actually more bussable than trainable

Whereas NYC is trainable

[worthy palm]

Also this under the assumption u r actually in SF and not South Bay

Depends where u r

[urban ore]

orz

[spare moss]

I need nyc internship mane

[worthy palm]

If ur actually in SF it is very bussable

like 20-30 min to go everywhere

Not an hour

[crystal pendant]

my mommy i think is coming with me

[urban ore]

tuff bro

[worthy palm]

I think we are confusing city for metropolitan area

The actual city is all urban, but South Bay isn’t part of the city just the metro

yeah makes sense

Yeah townhomes

Everywhere

Yup

what no

Only the tenderloin is sus

like if ur near the pier it ain’t bad

As a side note, Chicago actually is very comparable to NYC imo

[urban ore]

chicago so nice

[worthy palm]

And I honestly think I like Chicago a bit more despite the fact that when I was in Chicago is was freezing cold and snow everywhere

[urban ore]

rent in oblock is only 500/month btw

putting u guys on

[rain skiff]

https://open.spotify.com/track/23TwR29GSeJBfXnXhmDlwR

[worthy palm]

I think I took much less time to get everywhere maybe just cause it was smaller

Like nyc takes so much time to travel to different burrows

[urban ore]

chicago public transportation is pretty good too

[worthy palm]

yep yep Hollywood very similar to some tech bro at USC

😭

[tranquil sand]

What is it actually then

[mighty crypt]

ok

[tranquil sand]

https://www.jointaro.com/interviews/companies/amazon/experiences/sde-intern-united-states-september-23-2025-no-offer-negative-c88a49fe/

Decent sample size

[mighty crypt]
