@slow elm we can continue our convo here if you want about moderation stuff

slow elm
#

Can't think of much more atm, implementing something like Carlbot would be handy and opening up applications for moderators and ensuring they're in different timezones

#

As well as having a #853449023972311040 or #off-topic that is potentially more heavily moderated

I agree

#

it was kinda fine to get rid of 2021 summer channel probably
i just wondered if ppl were still using it to discuss their current internships and such

faint marten
#

nah was pretty inactive relative to other chan

junior wagon
#

@faint marten agree with kobebean and was going to say the same thing lol. Its really helpful to see when the process for a company started and ended and who has had experience interviewing at a company

faint marten
#

i’ll make a public archived category

faint marten
#

we can disable reactions

#

the issue before is that people would use those channels to talk about random things

#

its disabled now to streamline conversation into the correct channel

outer ridge
#

any chance we can get sort by each column in process tracking sheet? not so useful rn cuz there's only 40 companies but im guessing itll prob be a helpful once there's a lot more added to the sheet

hardy quail
#

Maybe allow threads to work in the process channels? That way you keep everything concise still, while still fostering public discussion about people's applications/interview processes (which I honestly find to be one of the most helpful things in this server)

#

Also you can congratulate people which is really nice and helps build a positive and supportive community (which is definitely my absolute favorite thing about this community)

#

And ngl makes you feel really good after all the work we all put in

#

referrals channel?

faint marten

faint marten
#

@unkempt swallow it works now :)

#

apply is the step type

broken star
hardy quail
#

^^^

#

Unfair advantage for people who are already established in tech/whose parents have connections imo

#

I wish referrals weren't a thing

tribal trail
#

imo referrals in this situation are helpful as long as trading isn’t allowed. while referrals exist, they are mainly circulated around the same circles. having a place to offer referrals would let people who would normally have no connection to big n, get a referral from someone outside their socioeconomic circles

#

I agree that referrals themselves are flawed, but the only way to improve them is my by sharing them with people who don’t have the economic or social ability to pursue connections at big n companies

#

And this is a platform where that can happen

slow elm
#

That's ass backwards

#

If anything it's opening up the opportunity for people who couldn't normally get a referral to potentially get one

slow elm
# faint marten no

You could at least maybe get the input of the discord instead of shoving your opinion down everyone's throats and just saying no 🤷‍♂️ but hey I'm just a believer of democracy

slow elm
#

Here's a good server suggestion: instead of just shutting people down bc "my discord my rules", actually take people's input and have a productive conversation :) it helps no one when the leadership of this server isn't willing to give any reasoning to anything and is not transparent.

#

Maybe consider having a polling system for server changes instead of believing a team of 3/4 knows what's best for a server of 20k people

#

Also maybe up the admin team to not just 4 people who are all your friends 🤷‍♂️

compact dew
#

I mean it's his server so it's his rules tbh, no point trying to argue that

yooo @compact dew whats up

#

hows life been

compact dew
#

i don't think you can reasonably compare "owner of a discords server doesn't want a certain channel" to "this means anyone who agrees with that wants a dictatorship"

slow elm
#

But go off!

compact dew
#

? I am not taking a side here my dude, don't know why you're being so passive aggressive

#

if anything, i'm the one who advocated for the referral channel in the CSM server to heavily discourage trading (which was one of the main arguments against a referral channel here)

slow elm
#

I'm just giving you counter arguments, not sure how that's passive aggressive lol

compact dew
# slow elm :)

I thought everything below this was implicitly passive aggressive but that's just me I guess

slow elm
#

Ain't my problem

#

@faint marten thoughts?

faint marten
#

no referral chan

#

i feel like it provides more negatives than pros

#

and pivots the community in a direction i don’t want it to be in

faint marten
#

nah

#

not now

slow elm
#

Sounds good I'll ping you tomorrow 👍

faint marten
#

i just said no

#

it’s going to remain no

slow elm
#

You have such a way with words joey

faint marten
#

not sure why you are so passive aggressive

#

i don’t owe u anything lol

#

if u don’t like the server, leave lol

slow elm
#

Never said that, just don't like how you run things

#

And I'm happy to speak out

#

I like the other people tho

#

The bot in process tracking should reply with pog emoji when an offer is given

faint marten
#

we should do a bunch of emojis haha

#

i think we need to have the emojis on our server though

#

pog, what other emotes shoudl we have?

#

that we could use to react on offer msg

twilit flare
#

i like the pepe bless one too

runic field
hardy quail
#

Does anyone else think we should remove the apply command bc it dilutes oa/phone/final/offer commands?

#

Like I'll personally look thru the processing channel to check if companies have started interviewing or doing OAs + to see if any of my friends have gotten an internship (to congratulate them)

#

And it can be hard to do that when there's a ton of apply commands

#

Also despite your stance on the referral thing, @slow elm did bring up a good point about doing voting. Maybe for certain ideas/requests we could do server voting to see what people want (like keeping/removing the apply command for ex) @faint marten

hardy quail
#

Fair point lmao

slow elm
#

upvote upvote

novel jungle
gloomy whale
hardy quail
#

yeah honestly that's a good middleground

faint marten
#

i guess my idea was to understand which companies are hiring

#

but i guess doing OA does the same thing

#

but someone might apply slightly later relative to apply

faint marten
#

but i’m overworking atm and i’m behind schedule with what i had planned

#

so i don’t have time to commit to more large changes stuff

slow elm
faint marten
#

ya true

whole lantern
#

The cs careers new website is all him

#

Sure we can do stuff better but Joey is literally at full capacity and trying his best

slow elm
#

im not sure where i said he didnt

whole lantern
#

Ur being kinda passive aggressive lmao

hardy quail
slow elm
#

no im serious where did i say that lol

whole lantern
slow elm
#

that was not in response to joey

whole lantern
#

Lmao bro we are literally trying to provide a nice service

#

For free

#

On our own time

whole lantern
#

It’s in response to this discord in general lmao

#

We are trying to get new mods and we have added Carl to our discor

slow elm
#

that suggestion came because he's always saying he's too busy

whole lantern
#

Like we are literally doing ur suggestions my guy

slow elm
#

well he said not now

hardy quail
#

Honestly @slow elm you make a ton of valid points, but I can see how some of the stuff you say come off as passive aggressive

slow elm
#

not that you were trying lol

whole lantern
#

Yes we will not do referrals ever

slow elm
#

if he had said we are trying then my response would be different

whole lantern
#

We can make this decision

#

Me and Joey have talked about it extensively

#

Seen it implemented in other places

#

And it just doesn’t work

slow elm
#

what about it doesn't work?

#

i'm not even saying I support it lo

#

i'm more frustrated that y'all make decisions for 20k people without any input from anyone

#

and don't offer any discussion to us

#

it's just

whole lantern
#

I’m happy to talk about this later but literally it only helps people who are on the top

slow elm
#

"no"

#

this is the first actual discussion i'm getting

whole lantern
#

We do ask for insight but we are going to make some decisions on our own

slow elm
#

which is fine

#

but

#

give reasoning

#

not just

#

no

whole lantern
#

Not everything can be community guided

slow elm
#

that helps literally no one

#

communication is 🔑

whole lantern
#

People have offered reasoning

slow elm
#

but not y'all

lost storm
#

Bruh moment

slow elm
#

and not joey

#

?

#

until i pressured more lol

#

it was literally just no

#

idk man if I was running a discord I'd probably not give people one word responses to suggestions but that's just me

#

just doesn't come off great

#

but it's not my discord so 🤷‍♂️

graceful sphinx
#

U really want a channel of people begging for referrals “Please give me this” and getting mad when it doesn’t work out

slow elm
#

where did i say i support it? i'm playing devil's advocate lmao

#

my frustration is the lack of communication

#

i don't give a fuck about a referrals channel

#

one way or the other

#

that's not what i'm arguing at this point

hardy quail
#

bruh this isn't a polisci class

whole lantern
#

Yea Joey should’ve said more but also ur stretching when u say this is a dictatorship lmaoo

slow elm
#

that was a response to someone else

#

not joey

#

lol

whole lantern
#

still about this server my guy lmao

slow elm
#

not really, i would have said that if so

whole lantern
#

Doesn’t matter if u said it to Joey or not?

slow elm
#

well yeah

#

the context kind of matters

#

considering the guy was saying if you own a server of 20k people u get to make whatever rules you want and i'm like eh

whole lantern
#

Anyway you can reach out to me if or other mods id you want clarification

slow elm
#

that's not really a good approach

#

reminds me of a dictatorship

whole lantern
#

Joey doesn’t have to provide all the answers

#

And it’s unreasonable for u to try to get all them from him

slow elm
#

i don't think it's unreasonable to ask for more than 1 word but you're his buddy so i ain't gonna convince you lol

whole lantern
#

I’m literally have a discussion with you

slow elm
#

if not him at least someone can

#

yes

#

but this is after the fact

whole lantern
#

Happy to go into details about why referrals bad

#

But I’m 22 and in nyc rn and I’m about to go to a bar so we can talk later

hardy quail
#

Honestly @slow elm the questions/feedback you're giving is good, but like it comes off as mad passive-aggressive

#

Also that's a mood

slow elm
#

nah ur good i don't need more explanation

#

not passive aggressive

#

srs

hardy quail
#

Yeah but it comes off as that way

slow elm
#

well it's the internet man

hardy quail
#

Like I'm not gonna bring up examples or anything

slow elm
#

text is kind of hard to convey emotion

#

that's just how it be

hardy quail
#

Yeah I agree for sure

slow elm
#

you feel?

hardy quail
#

Yeah

slow elm
#

god bless emojis tho

hardy quail
#

But I think if you practice a bit more on trying to avoid any sort of passive-aggressive language, it'll help in the future

whole lantern
#

I just feel like people devalue how much time and effort Joey spends into this server

slow elm
whole lantern
#

He genuinely cares

slow elm
#

i'm not devaluing it i'm just saying if he's spending time working on website shit then there should be someone who should be more focused on server matters

#

like there's a ton of shit that just flies under the radar

#

and of course he doesn't have time

#

that's fine

#

i'm not saying he should devote his life to monitoring the discord

#

but my main suggestion that he seemed to push under the rug until you clarified was adding more admins or adding more help

hardy quail
#

Yeah I agree in that maybe it'll be helpful to bring on some more devs? That way he can sit back and relax a bit more

slow elm
#

instead of just letting it devolve

#

like for a 500 member discord I ran we had 5 admins

#

the fact that you have 4 for 20k

#

is just insane

whole lantern
#

Dude not all 20k are active

#

Only like 3k max people actively contribute

slow elm
#

yes but that's still quite a bit for 4 admins no?

#

especially when one is FT

#

i get that it's hard to warrant who would actually be a good fit

#

and you want to add people you trust

whole lantern
#

Yes and like we said we are actively getting new mods rn

slow elm
#

ye i didn't know that until today tho is my point lol

whole lantern
#

Idk what u want me to say about that lmak

slow elm
#

i'm glad you clarified

whole lantern
#

We literally said we would

#

In our last convo??

slow elm
#

which

#

?

#

a while ago?

broken star
#

they said it in general

#

when they talk about aoc and ulzzang ban

slow elm
#

oh that was forever ago lol

#

i don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to know status updates

whole lantern
#

Bro that was like less than 2 weeks ago

hardy quail
#

Damn they banned alexandra occasio cortez

slow elm
#

your point being? it's been like this for more than 2 weeks

#

i'm surprised that discussion took that long to come up

whole lantern
#

We implemented Carl bot literally the same day

#

We are trying our best my guy relax

slow elm
#

i'm super relax lol

#

i'm just talking bruh

#

maybe it would help to have a changelog? so people knew what was going on?

whole lantern
#

Ok we can consider it

yea and i don’t want that

proven sail
#

hi

hardy quail
#

Plus the ones offering probably get overwhelemd in like 10s lmao

faint marten
#

but either way, obtaining referrals is not impossible on here

#

it’s just more focused on building friendships first

#

that’s my intent with the server

proven sail
#

r u my friend joey

faint marten
#

yes bestie

compact dew
#

cscareers.friends pog

solemn shell
#

I'm gonna give my two cents but tbh I think a referrals channel is pointless because if someone really wanted to give a referral then they could literally just give it away in #2022_grads or intern posts, like it's such a trivial thing that you don't need a whole channel for it lmao or just dm each other I don't see the point in having a channel for it unless @faint marten it's against the rules?

faint marten
#

there isn’t a rule but i think it’s by function of us not moderating as much as we need to be for something like a referral chan, we don’t have funding for that channel

#

err resources*

#

and we also are trying to keep channel count to a minimum

#

like i’ve seen referral chan’s in slack communities implemented the way i would want it to be

#

i’m literally just fried off work in general and am still overworking on stuff

slow elm
#

how did they implement it?

@faint marten sorry for the ping but I’m curious to know when intern sharing process is going to be out 🙂

#

Sorry for not being specific

it’ll be reflecting soon

runic field
#

Shared my short write-up regarding my thoughts on referrals (and a brief mention of a "channel" people talk about) a while ago on rant channel. It's not something I'm personally invested in and I'm not advocating for a certain course of action on the server but people need to look at all the pros/cons.
https://anonymous.4open.science/r/referrals-in-tech-DC3D/README.md

runic field
hardy quail
#

Yeah. Plus it makes people more desperate and care less about making connections instead of just coming to this server to get referrals. This server is one of the few good cs forums where I feel like the community is super helpful and friendly, with not the slightest bit of toxicity

faint marten
#

yea this was an early thing admins agreed upon not doing

unkempt swallow
#

is there a locations channel for chicago????
!join chicago does nothing but I'm still in some other location channels

outer ridge
#

any chance that you can add location or region of the people who submit process tracking commands for certain companies like microsoft, so we know which region they're currently sending interviews / OAs to?

faint marten
#

probably not sounds like a lot of extra work to support ? i think

#

also not sure how that could integrate in a process cmd

#

and how would it even be shown in an aggregate fashion?

bronze urchin
#

Yeah I think the only reasonable thing for that could be like Amazon USA v Amazon Canada

#

But by region would be a lot of work for not much lol

outer ridge
#

ah yeah thats true ig most places dont go by region

faint marten
#

yea just a lot of BE work haha

unkempt swallow
faint marten
#

wat do u mean?

#

on discord or website?

#

discord has timestamps with every message

faint marten
#

Nah

#

No one will use

#

Cause the assumption is people are emitting the command in somewhat real-time (maybe a few day buffer)

#

Like when I receive an oa my thought is to send the update on discord and check how many others got it

#

And I’ve noticed people have the same trends

#

Of updating relatively in real time

dusty phoenix
#

Few people seem to be using the !process (company) apply feature. Maybe have applications be automatically noted when someone uses another command like reject or oa (if they haven't used apply already)?

faint marten
#

i like this idea

#

i guess we could support this for all steps

#

e.g. if a user types !process company final

#

it should mark apply, oa, phone as fulfilled?

Hi @faint marten I have an idea for an improvement.

When looking at https://www.cscareers.dev/process-tracking/2022-new-grad, I was trying to look at a specific company quickly.

Of course, I can just command F to search. However, do you think it's a good idea to implement a search bar at the top and filter listings by name?

@faint marten curious to ask you about this but would you expand the server for ppl who are looking to go into fte

#

like ppl who grinding for l5 at google

#

or will the server be only for interns/new grad ppl

faint marten

it makes more sense to dive first on a more niche audience

eventually i want to create the website to be what u know as a levels.fyi but for early career

so probably not

def understand! i love the platform that you built so. I was hoping that you extending it for ppl who are past new grade

Is there a channel for negotiation? If not that would be a cool addition. CSMajors discord has a negotiation channel for new grads

hardy quail
#

Rn I guess we're using the 2022 summer/winter/etc channels for negotiation stuff

#

Idk if you'd get as much input with a dedicated negotiation channel compared to just the regular channels

#

Since I think only ppl who are asking for help with negotiation will be checking the negotiation channel

#

But that's just my 2 cents

Will the new grad salary sharing channel start posting the submissions soon? It would help to know if were getting lowballed

yo can we tell ppl who got the return offer not to process that

#

in summer 22 channel

hardy quail
#

Maybe there should be a return offer command?

#

It's still good info to know what companies offer return offers + get an idea of how common they are

faint marten
#

we plan on addressing this through reviews...similar to what glassdoor does

#

its on the roadmap™️

broken star
#

i guess that’s true

#

Maybe incorporate !process apple return

#

i think that would be beneficial

faint marten
#

meh

#

it would be super small pool of ppl

#

that would use that

#

its probably not worth for me to spend eng time on adding that

#

like for every 1000 process tracking updates , how much would be a return offer

#

i can figure it out but i know the number wouldnt be that high

#

( would base off the people that edit their message and add a return offer thing to their discord message)

#

i would like to get salary sharing out + running

broken star
#

#

since lots of people are getting offers now and they need to make sure they arent getting finessed haha

which is going well

the harder challenge is ingesting all of our salary data into a canonical format that fits into our table schema

hardy quail
#

Can we also bring back the salary sharing channel? I like the website, but I honestly preferred that I could use all of the functionality of the site on the discord. I found the benefit of having stuff on the discord is that it results in people talking about that stuff (a specific salary for example) which is one of the things I found really nice about this server. Like maybe allow users to submit salaries both online or in discord, and display them both in a salary sharing channel and on the website?

#

Idk how many other people feel the same way tho

#

The salary sharing channel is being worked on

#

From what I understand

hardy quail
#

Wait I think I asked about it earlier actually

#

My memory is horrible lmao

#

Sorry

faint marten
#

yea salaries will be relayed onto the website and the discord

#

similar to what we're doing with job postings

#

some people straight up lie on salary sharing

i know cause i also got an offer for new grad in same location and someone posted something that was almost double

yea im not sure if thats the way to frame it haha

maybe we can make a

and make it a meme on lnikedin duno

hardy quail

That would be hilarious not gonna lie

You know what would be cool

Making an api

So you could introduce like 3rd party stuff like a Spotify wrapped thing

Can we get a Austin channel

#

a companies discord channel with slow-mode on where people post invite links to discords for interns/new grads at specific companies would be nice

faint marten
#

yeah its lame that communities didnt work out haha

#

that was the whole intent

faint marten

#

i was thinking more along the lines of what the csmajors server has, where it’s just a channel with nothing but invite links and people just join company servers using that

faint marten
#

yea i understand

#

not sure how i feel about it

#

i understand the value add to the person, but will them hopping to another server decrease our activity?

#

sounds like a loss to our community

dry trench
#

that’s fair actually, i think from this servers perspective it would def decrease activity

runic field
#

I guess you could be more comprehensive and add a us-south channel, would cover like atlanta/north carolina/florida

for whatever reason wolverine trading doesn't show up on the bot, but when i try registering it on the website, it says it already has an entry

Could the bot process accept dates?

How does a channel where people offer their interview experience sound? The experience shouldn’t contain the exact LC questions asked but should give the readers an idea of the interview structure/difficulty

yup this is already on my roadmap

once work settles down i’ll get back to working on these features

Can we get ability to react to messages in the salary sharing channels? (Both intern and new grad)

yeah its sad

it even happens in job postings chan too

just at a much lower frequency

ngl that mindset is such turn off from me

It kinda made me wanna switch majors at one point

faint marten
#

i dont think ive had a bad in-person interaction with a non new-grad/intern engineer

but again thats just my experience and i know theres a lot of fucked people in this industry

#

i try to call stuff out that i see for what it is

#

especially with this platform, i feel an obligation to

carmine bramble
#

I have a suggestion for a channel called "pathways" where people can share a line of companies they worked for up to where they are now and include info about what type of project/team they specialized in throughout the process and maybe even other offers they considered with the one they chose.

#

A post could be structured like this:

#

Capital One (Intern - Summer 2019, Infrastructure) -> Amazon, MathWorks, Bloomberg, Google Internships -> Google (Intern - Summer 2020, Advertising Tech) -> Stripe, Google Return, Amazon, Facebook, Bloomberg, Snap, Asana New Grads -> Snap (Full Time - Current, Distributed Systems)

whole lantern
#

hmm interesting

#

will discuss

#

w other mods

dry trench
#

think it’s worthwhile to add an industry category

#

interns, new grads, industry

#

where people with 1+ years experience can chat

broken star
#

i asked Joey about that but he say he want to focus more on interns

#

also can we force ppl to say if there offers are negotiated

faint marten
#

yea i’ll try to create the suggestion thing im wanting today

#

so we can gauge interest on stuff

#

im not against the suggestion but i don’t want to spend resources on something no one cares about

#

i think therell be a natural shift given the current audience that they’ll want more early career stuff instead of intern

Suggestion for the website, when on the process tracking sheet, it would be nice to have the column names stay at the top of table when scrolling so you can remember what column is what. Maybe its just bad memory on my part when I'm down at the 100's and I'm looking at what stage the company is is sometimes I forget which column is which so I have to scroll up

humble cairn
#

create a bot that takes in suggestions and adds reactions below to gather community input

faint marten
#

github issues will do this..........i just need to set it up haha

trim flint
#

I don't know if people would be interested in this, but maybe adding a "signed" column to the process bot would help people connect with others going to the same company

junior lance
#

I think we should add a section where people can talk about their experiences at an internship to help people decide what type of environment they want to work for or so what

Wolverine Trading is not working in the process channel

but I can't add it to the career site

What is your suggestion?

Add Atlanta as a channel under Locations. There are a lot of CS-related jobs opening up as MSFT, Google, and AirBnB are setting up shop in the city. With these relatively large companies moving to Atlanta, there has been an uptick in CS-related jobs which will continue.

Discussed this with the admins and we are all pretty much in agreement that we don't want the community to devolve into being a romanticization of companies. Implementing a channel like this is devolving into a path.

The goal of the community is to best equip job-seekers with information they should know about in the recruiting process, and we don't think company swag is a part of this.

#

I don't have an issue adding this one channel, but these requests raise a larger question. How do we gauge what channels to add? We are under the constraint of creating mass amounts of channels. Having a bunch of channels is overwhelming to new people joining the channel and leads to worse UX if we have to scroll around more.

While adding one channel won't necessarily cause this, if we keep adding these channels adhoc to requests then we will find ourselves in that predicament. We tried pr...

As I looked at levels.fyi, I noticed that they don't specify if an entry is negotiated. We should include or ask users to specify if the offer was negotiated. In addition, we can also include which companies that they negotiated with as well, but this should be optional.

By having this section, it will give people more insight into how much they can negotiate in terms of wag...

I feel it would be helpful to have two separate channels for the leetcode-bot; one with most frequent Qs asked in intern interviews and one with most frequent Qs asked in new grad.

What is the value add for adding this to the Discord server?

It'll help folks focus more time on the Qs with a higher chance to be asked in an interview (not that solving new grad LC questions wouldn't help).

it would be better for !process to backfill previous steps, if you have per user tracking

When implementing this functionality, I was debating whether or not to backfill previous empty steps if they did a final step. What I realized with this is that not all companies have the same processes (not all companies have OAs - so backfilling an OA event doesn't make sense).

But in regards to @tristingreenstein 's suggestion, I think the lowest common step when someone does receive a higher...

We could, but is something we actively decided against as an admin team for the following reasons:

  • Our data source does not provide granularity for the context in which a problem is asked in. Company level questions is the best we can get unless we want to crowd-source our own which we don't.

  • IMO, is crossing the border of cheating. The difference between what we have now and what you're suggesting is that the company level questions are preparing you for the average-difficulty of in...

just as an additional comment, any company than has more offers or rejected than applies is automatically listed as skewed data.
Microsoft 38 apply 52 offer 47 rejected - min 9 person skew (difference between apply and rejected)
Amazon 51 apply 88 offer 80 rejected - min 29 person skew
VMWare 12 apply 27 offer 18 rejected - min 6 person skew
Imc 21 apply 48 rejected - min 27 person skew
15 of the first 30 companies have skewed data

In any of the process changes, whenever someone submits an offer include their @ and the company name in the ‘Congrats!!!’ message.

Add some bot that allows opt-out from #leetcode-bot channel.

What is the value add for adding this to the Discord server?

Currently, #leetcode-bot clogs up search immensely when searching the name of a company. Example: search "blackrock" in the Discord and you cannot find relevant results because of #leetcode-bot spam.

This will allow search bar function to be much more usable.

Allow react roles for intern / new grad / industry. Only when user is assigned a role, give access to the specific "section" that has the channels in them.
