#

@mellow saffron you should add a verification feature in this disc

#

where people submit their offer letters and get their company roles

#

i wonder if people would actually do that

mellow saffron
#

blud thinks i have nothing better to do than parse 10k zon offer letters

undone mirage
#

you DONT

mellow saffron
#

there's levels to waffling

#

that is F tier

undone mirage
#

we must see how many amazonians are here

mellow saffron
#

im not sure what this would accomplish outside of being more work for ME

opal needle
#

i want to aura farm on cscd

neat hemlock
undone mirage
#

to filter out the gmis

opal needle
#

lowk would be my dream come true

#

have an exclusive networking group of just the gmis

mellow saffron
undone mirage
#

and you can have exclsuive

#

chats

#

for each company

#

and people can talk to eachother from their comapny

#

or something

#

netflix chat would have like

#

2 people in it

mellow saffron
#

i mean there's just too many problems w this

undone mirage
#

there's only one

#

well 2

#

u have to review all of them and then people can reuse offer leteters

opal needle
#

๐Ÿฅ€

mellow saffron
#

firstly offer letters are a dox, and if u then anonymize that there's no way to prove its real since two people could submit the same one

undone mirage
#

its up 2 them if they want to dox themselves

opal needle
#

does r/csmajors dwellers know of the existence of this server

undone mirage
#

not like you're forcing them

mellow saffron
#

and there's enough stupid people here that they wud larp an offer to get alpha somehow

mellow saffron
#

and we also just don't need to foster unnecessary competition

#

comparison is the thief of joy

undone mirage
#

yes we do

mellow saffron
#

u damn children

undone mirage
#

comfort is the killer of growth

mellow saffron
#

listen to the cscd mod

opal needle
#

sorry

#

:(

undone mirage
#

in fact

#

dropping their identities would be a good way to manually verify each letter

opal needle
#

hit 245 on bench today

undone mirage
#

make em drop their linkedin too

opal needle
#

finally

undone mirage
#

๐Ÿ˜ˆ

neat hemlock
#

mythra

mellow saffron
#

bro just wants us to dox people

undone mirage
#

nu huh

neat hemlock
#

have u played xenoblade

undone mirage
#

only abusive mods would dox poeple

mellow saffron
#

i mean to some extent this is just what the process bot would do

undone mirage
#

surely you're not abusive

mellow saffron
#

once again

#

even I have better things to do than parse 10k amazon offer letters

#

and memorize each name

scenic oyster
#

we should do filtering by psl scale instead

#

sub 5 auto ban from cscd

mellow saffron
#

uk what we can do

#

filter on a scale of messages sent vs company outcome

opal needle
#

if ur below a t200

neat hemlock
mellow saffron

how about that

opal needle

ur out

how expensive is codex

undone mirage

codex def clears in how many queries you can give it

even some of the faang ones r dead

pearl bloom
#

does tesla not count as faang+

mellow saffron
#

nah it does

#

that wasn't the intention w the statement though

storm pelican
#

yeah. the problem is that people don't know how to search (shocker given we're all engineers) and create more servers

#

instead of using the already existent ones

mighty pike

What do you guys think is the main pros of working at ffang+

that's only for l5+

mellow saffron

unless u mean ur applying to jobs and getting reached out to

storm pelican

mellow saffron

true

#

there's some good ones

undone mirage

i remember reading somewhere on reddit that smaller companies actually dont want senior engineers from faang cuz they come and introduce more work meetings and bloat

do ppl still wear asics

opal needle
#

did u apply for the fellowship

mellow saffron
#

yeah idk big tech is fine but if u ever go from big tech to an equally reputable less beuracratic place you'll see the difference immediately

opal needle

just hop around big techs bro

slowly increase ur TC

the age old advice

mighty pike
#

Oh lol

mellow saffron
#

even with a full time job bullet points and stuff matter

mighty pike
#

That's true

mellow saffron
#

u cant just leave amazon and expect to get an l5 offer handed to u

opal needle
mellow saffron
#

not saying thats what people want, but there's alwyas more effort that can be put in there

mighty pike
#

I also think at ffang they give u shit work to do?

undone mirage
mellow saffron
#

some teams at all 5 of them definiteyl have some cool work

opal needle
#

wait why is it ffang

?

mellow saffron

cool* depending on how you view the work in general

mellow saffron

opal needle

love faang

tranquil crown

yea always

opal needle

storm pelican
mighty pike
#

I think for early career it's better to go to good startups to learn and improve on technical skills

storm pelican
mighty pike
#

Faang is really nice environment for retirement

storm pelican
opal needle
#

knowing that tho if given the choice between a fulltime faang offer

#

vs a startup

#

id still pick faang 100%

tranquil crown
storm pelican
#

you lose out on many things by not being at big tech, technical skills aren't a monolith

mighty pike
#

Lol

undone mirage
#

considering how much you have to hop around

#

even when senior level

opal needle
#

idk what tml is bro

#

but if its a cracked startup vs zon

#

ok for sure

#

im just saying ur avg startup

#

0 chance

mighty pike
#

Not avg startup

#

Like a unicorn startup

mellow saffron
#

idk big tech is pretty fun

opal needle
#

i will like to make a note for myself

mellow saffron
#

u can tell somoene where u work and they'll know what it is

How can I become as good as you

yea id love to work at cohere if i got a proc

#

or at any unicorn if i got a proc

wide sorrel
#

yea id do it

#

where u for the summer

mighty pike
mint quest
#

main reason i even want a faang+ company is cuz my school is ngmi, my grades are low, and to get procs for companies i wanna work for, faang+ is the only way

opal needle

snap ml orz

opal needle
#

I AM ROOTING FOR U

wide sorrel

thatโ€™s tuff

proud mauve
wide sorrel
#

u could do it but wouldnโ€™t seem like a huge jump

16 hours is nothing

#

yea itโ€™s free money

mint quest
#

ts kinda cool

mighty pike
#

Oh maybe > 10B?

undone mirage
mint quest
#

bro it just depends on the team and what they do

mighty pike
#

I like small team + have resources to get anything

undone mirage
#

valuation of company -> equity -> more tc if it ever ipos

#

is an angle to consider

mighty pike
#

That's true too

wide sorrel
#

naw u can really put whatever u want on ur resume

mighty pike
#

Oh I think the other thing is value

opal needle
mighty pike
#

For a startup

#

Is there founder

opal needle
#

id do anything idc abt the work

mighty pike
#

I care more about the founder than the current valuation

#

But ofc cool works is the most important criteria

#

For me

undone mirage
#

@violet belfry the smaller it is the more risk that you're just gambling away but yea the unicorn spot is probably the sweet spot in terms of balancing risk and tc

mint quest
#

ngl all this waffling is for full time 2-3 years seasoned engineers who know what they want

#

not us man

opal needle
#

highest signal is def like xai or like ssi

#

or amilabs

mighty pike
#

Cool work >= impact > founder >= company value/name > TC

undone mirage

being selective in a market that offers very little to the average person ๐Ÿ˜ญ

yeah

mighty pike
mint quest
#

cs is the most competitive major i think

opal needle
#

like bro i genuinely know heads at my school that never even knew how recruiting worked

mint quest
#

wait maybe business adjacent

#

for ib recruiting

opal needle
#

the gap between cs majors is so large

mighty pike
civic cliff
opal needle
#

and the results show

undone mirage
#

cs is the most gatekept competitive major

mint quest
#

i think ib is more cut throat than faang recruiting right

wheat chasm
undone mirage
#

other majors like med are also super competitive

opal needle
#

cs is a hard major too

mint quest
#

i think its more

opal needle
#

in general

undone mirage
#

but cs is competitive in the way that there's just multiple methods to do this and that

#

and only the one who knows and does most of them

#

are able to be part of the 1%

opal needle
#

bro if ur math the best advice for u is to compete against cs mfs for swe

#

the avg math person is not touching quant LMFAO

mint quest
#

way more bro there are only a couple bulge bracket banks that are considered "cream of the crop" compared to the amt of big tech companies

noble lion
#

I want snowflake fall interview

#

I want uber fall interview

opal needle
#

they wont make it

#

impossible

mint quest
#

like what

opal needle
#

do u not see what im saying

#

bro

#

if u have what it takes to be a trader the major matters less

undone mirage
opal needle
#

no avg math person is cooked just like the avg cs person

wheat chasm
#

finance is just did you get good rng

proud mauve
wheat chasm
#

CS you actually have to be cracked

proud mauve
#

They said they'll look at ur resume

noble lion
#

how to get fall offer?

opal needle
#

its unrealistic to tell the avg math person to pursue quant, bro swe is a lot easier and a LOT more realistic

undone mirage
noble lion
opal needle
#

this isnt just school im talking nationally

#

what do u think is the outcome of the avg math major?

#

tell me

#

its not quant ill say that

mint quest
#

even at the top bulge bracket ppl only wanna work at the top 3 then exit to PE after 2 years which is already hard enough bro and the other banks just overwork for alright salary in the city

wheat chasm
#

Finance people aren't doing 7 rounds of interviews

mint quest
#

finance def more cutthroat

bro

mighty pike
mint quest
#

no im nepal

opal needle
#

idk if the average math person picked the major to make money

undone mirage
opal needle
#

with that being said

proud mauve
#

I do think knowledge of math is prob harder than cs

#

But cs is more competitive cause too many ppl doing it

opal needle
#

bro

wheat chasm
#

not a soul is doing astrophysics

tardy hollow
#

who read the knew one piece chapter

mint quest
#

so true

tardy hollow
#

ts peak

proud mauve
strong violet
#

80% of my CS class didn't know how recruiting worked

noble lion
opal needle
#

in that case id suggest them try to find a job and be realistic

tardy hollow
#

yea

noble lion
#

but fast ig

mighty pike
opal needle
#

the barrier for entry for natural sciences is way too high

#

yes

#

exactly

tardy hollow
#

ZAZA

opal needle
#

so would telling them to get a swe job be helping them

#

yes

#

its a lot easier

proud mauve
#

Are there any companies that do chud work

#

And hire chuds

๐Ÿฅ€

noble lion
mint quest

ngl my lazyass is not surviving med or finance

proud mauve
wheat chasm
#

finance is ez

#

med i have respect for tho organic chem is a hard ass class

noble lion
strong violet
#

med is the next field to go oversaturated

proud mauve
#

And Zon

mint quest
#

hell naw im not tryna work 80-100 hour weeks

opal needle
#

reason why the avg cs outcome is more likely to be better than the avg math outcome is cuz cs majors went into ts for the money bro at least they have a goal in mind

mint quest
#

to suck some dih

strong violet
opal needle
#

other ppl just love the major, but loving the major =/= getting a job

#

do u see what im sayin

noble lion
#

is meta a top company?

opal needle
#

yeah

#

thats my entire point

#

so no

noble lion
#

they always fail at everything no?

opal needle
#

math ppl dont get quant offers

#

they are more likely to get quant offers

#

but they dont get jobs period

noble lion
#

most desirable to work for

opal needle
#

most of them

mint quest
wheat chasm
#

there are mfs in this server that have sent 700 apps for cs and get nothing

mighty pike
mint quest
#

mark give me the zucc

strong violet
opal needle
#

cs is very much competitive

strong violet
#

if you send 700 apps and get nothing it's a resume diff

opal needle
#

how is it not competitive

#

isnt cs the lowest acceptance rate major at most schools

#

this alone shows u the competitiveness

#

filtering begins before day 1 freshman year

#

in addition theres oftentimes restrictions placed on transferring TO cs major for non cs majors, which doesnt exist for other majors

#

at the top public schools

tranquil crown
#

yea i always hear meta has fast promos and good comp, but bad culture and layoffs

wheat chasm
strong violet
strong violet
#

and 100 apps is like a very generous number, i'd say 300 minimum

scenic oyster
#

im ngl if u sent 700 apps and get absolutely nothing

strong violet
#

100 apps if ur cracked lol

scenic oyster
#

idk what to tell u

strong violet
scenic oyster
#

gotta change somethin gup

strong violet
#

at that point

wheat chasm
#

nah CS is definitely cooked

#

I chose the wrong major ong

strong violet
#

if you dont get any procs after like 150 apps, time to change things up
