money is not a problem now

isn't she 20?

[low epoch]

yall better never be those creep dudes at 23+ dating 18 yr olds

[brave obsidian]

bezos ex-wife is the true queen

[abstract wagon]

yo whats wrong with that

why do you know the age of CEO daughters

love is not defined by age

it's really strange sir

so she's even older than me

[warm crystal]

"it's" I read that

[abstract wagon]

ahahahahaha

[low epoch]

i supposed that particular example might be right on the cusp of "acceptable" but it's all too common with worse ages

[abstract wagon]

I am the victim

[low epoch]

not the differential, but the ages themselves

[abstract wagon]

mr Roblox Sunday bbq offer👀

[simple saffron]

lmao

[abstract wagon]

jk i have ethics

[simple saffron]

its why i dont wear underwear duh

[abstract wagon]

i thought doop was a girl

[simple saffron]

sorry i can still pretend to be if you want me to

depends on the company but generally gets you to a phone

[abstract wagon]

[simple saffron]

then an answer to that is probably rare

lel

if you can get one, definitely try to

[abstract wagon]

yes

[haughty torrent]

Is there a channel for templates?

Or like somewhere I can find templates (renege, etc)

[simple saffron]

look at pins here and #2021_grads

[haughty torrent]

awesome thank you!

[timber solar]

Has anyone applied to Amazon twice?

With different emails

I know someone who got rejected applied again got offer

How is that even allowed?😅

[karmic fog]

it's not intentionally allowed

but once u get the offer they prob don't care

[stone aurora]

I got an email from Amazon for final video interview scheduling. Available dates are Dec 28,29,30 and Jan4,5,6,7 etc. Would you advise to take it sooner or prepare well and take later? I don't wanna be waitlisted as well. Pls advise.

[loud hollow]

i heard they dont wait list until march so i think youre good

[shrewd karma]

they waitlisted in january last year

[loud hollow]

oh kek

then no idea lmfao

[zenith crown]

2 weeks is more than enough to prepare

[simple saffron]

if you can solve LC mediums confidently do it earlier

otherwise might be worth using that extra prep time

[abstract wagon]

is google done hiring?

[stone aurora]

Is the final round for Amazon internship on the easier side or harder? I don't have much LC experience but can build applications and can work on real-time projects better.

[simple saffron]

it's pretty much solely dependent on your LC abilities

[real nacelle]

just go over the leetcode amazon section

[simple saffron]

that being said its one of the easier finals out there

[vivid lintel]

Amazon already started waitlisting new grads fwiw

[soft ocean]

might be a dumb question but where in the amazon dashboard do we see our interview date and time? I heard people get that info in their portal before they get a confirmation email

[wary flame]

it should be on the left like right under the app status iirc

[whole birch]

Is Twitch’s interview process similar to Amazon’s?

[fallow shuttle]

no

[lone orbit]

Mind me asking how was your oa? I just messed up the first one and don’t have much hope left

[obtuse otter]

riot games doesn't check chat logs if u apply right?

[shrewd karma]

my chat history isn't anything to be proud of and i got ghosted so i have a feeling they take the occasional peep 👀

[twin obsidian]

Just make a smurf account

[odd kraken]

im pretty sure they do 🥴

are they still looking for interns? I thought they filled up

[flat vine]

might as well make a new LoL account and level again

[abstract wagon]

Does anyone know how many times BNY Mellon run drug tests, and whether they require blood/urine/hair? Ik it’s mandatory I’m just trying to see how many times and which one specifically

[last glade]

So the little known thing about drug tests is there’s a limiter. If you smoke more weed than the maximum recordable level, you show up as clean

Go crazy

It’s just a matter of surpassing that level

[real nacelle]

@abstract wagon pretty sure it would be one test, that is given when they are doing your background check

[narrow patrol]

ym

*hm

if company ask where i accepted offer, after i decline offer

should i say it or no? im worried bc may renege and kinda in the middle of reneging one place rn

also, how do i say i'd rather not say lol

[abstract wagon]

doesnt matter
tell them respectively its not relevant to the job

[narrow patrol]

what happened to real

ur pfp look too friendly now :/

[abstract wagon]

i dont post on linkedin
not b/c im better than those "I'm excited to announce people"
but b/c im coping that google or snapchat or big N isnt done recruiting and might email me

[narrow patrol]

lmao same reason for me

i wont post until april

just not worth the risk imo

[abstract wagon]

not b/c
i am def one of those people

[final hawk]

honestly i think it's fine to be one of those people cause it's alright to be happy about your accomplishments

depending on how you go about it

i saw someone posting "after receiving several offers i am happy to announce that i'll be interning at [company]"

like i think that approach isn't really the best idk not really necessary to mention you got several offers

[proud dew]

yeah I agree with this, also if it's a smaller company and they ask/recommend you post to give them some publicity I think that's valid

[thick shore]

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJbQn86L/

i am@becoming famous tiktok interview coach

if u have question pls ask

[barren night]

lol i made that exact mistake in my first interview. I think it comes from doing leetcode through trial and error where i just change my solution to cover some test case i missed

[brave spindle]

So I just got the Uber internship offer and I have to accept my Amazon offer by today. What do you guys recommend I take?

[hasty pulsar]

what is pay for both

do u mind me asking

@brave spindle

[sinful oar]

https://builtin.com/jobs/office-remote/nationwide/internships

[abstract wagon]

Ook thanks

[brave spindle]

Amazon is 8224 a month with 2425 monthly housing stipend in Seattle and Uber is 50 an hour with 1500 monthly housing stipend in any location (SF, New York, Palo Alto, NY)

[twilit mesa]

i'd pick uber

bc i like uber's product more than amazon's

faangs have boring products imo

[proud dew]

I'd pick uber bc the engineering bar is higher imo and it could be more interesting (since you don't know amazon team)

[ionic fog]

damn niantic had internships?

which is why you don't update linkedin until after you start

^ yeah I don't think they have boring products (Youtube is pretty cool?)

but it's that the chance of you working on a shiny product is pretty low at FAANG because they're huge and have a bunch of teams

[twilit mesa]

yea my b this is what I meant

[brave spindle]

yeah the only concern I have with Uber is them rescinding offers or future layoffs since I'll be the prime employee to fire first as a new grad

[ionic fog]

true but once you start I don't think it really matters to the company you reneged

though recruiters are busy enough as is I doubt even if they did know the company they'd do anything funny

yup

meh not really in my best interest to tell them let them find out on their own if they're so inclined in 5 months when i do updated linkedin

chances are they'll forget about me anyway by then so

[twilit mesa]

i think whats crazy is that i didnt realize that most companies don't have many recruiters

i assumed they had like at least 20 recruiters

[vivid lintel]

Well usually HR people double dip and do some recruiting work as well

Only the companies with established intern/new grad pipelines can afford to have dedicated university recruiters

[twilit mesa]

yea

so did lyft

covid fucked both uber and lyft

[viral abyss]

they took up asswipe capital

[twilit mesa]

lyft's office is so nice

i'd simp

[dapper shard]

Lyft ghosted me after I sent my availability form for an interview 😔

[narrow patrol]

why everyone uses first year tc as measuring tc

instead of recurring, isn't recurring more accurate?

but thats like artificially inflating it for no reason

shouldnt the emphasis be on accuracy

smh

i dont want tc to flex

i want to have an accurate idea of how much i can save each yr

[thick shore]

no they don’t lol

they pay more for new grad and interns this year

levels takes aggregate of all years

[dapper shard]

Does anyone know if mongoDB only has nyc as its intern location?

[proud dew]

no it also has sf

and austin

and palo alto I believe

[dapper shard]

Okay just making sure. Thanks!

[proud dew]

np. they had a few interns (like 5 maybe) working in non-nyc offices this summer. the return new grad offer is slightly higher for sf

[dapper shard]

I have a really high preference for Texas so Austin is perfect

[still gazelle]

austin is lit bro

the lack of a state income tax means that like 150k salary here = 175k salary in cali

not even factoring for the living expenses

[dapper shard]

Would still be making more in Austin compared to Cali

Texas COL relatively low compared to other places like Cali and ny

[last glade]

taxes are also lower

do we need to file taxes on internship earnings :(

[odd kraken]

for hourly pay?
it should work exactly the same as any other job

[nova knoll]

Lol yes u make money u file taxes 🤣

[ionic fog]

isn't property tax in TX really high though

though i guess for interns or even new grad it doesn't matter 🤣

[nova knoll]

Yes it is Texas likes their land

[ionic fog]

https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/kdlhgx/what_is_the_most_challenging_problem_youve_solved/

bruh

Passing the interview

🤣

[still gazelle]

how frugal do u wanna live. i think living expenses in austin are like 40% of palo alto or whatever

but if you live further out, living expenses could be 2k a month

like my mom has a 7bed 4 bath 3k sqft house for 280k

[loud hollow]

Is it ok to have two internships at one time for one week? An internship i signed for ends the same week as another one thats starting that week. So basically one ends July 30th and one starts July 26th.

[simple saffron]

no lies there

[narrow patrol]

do yall count paper money in new grad tc?

like stocks for companies that havent ipoed yet

[thick ridge]

thoughts on re-applying to citadel with diff email? I let oa expire cuz I was done looking for summer but wanna try to get offszn there

or should I just email recruiter to send a new one

[pale coyote]

i feel like if you didnt interview this is fine

[proper mountain]

is there a companies ranking anywhere for tech like us?

[proper mountain]

email first

[pale coyote]

no and i hope it stays that way

a company rankings list would be so toxic lmao

[proper mountain]

i was just wondering like, if i have two companies and which one to pick

but i guess everyone ranking is different anyway

[proud dew]

I think it's way too subjective to have a rankings list, cuz some people value different things. even on reddit, people make tier lists but not everyone agrees on them

[proper mountain]

that's true

[vivid lintel]

Someone actually did make a website called ranks.fyi

The dude who made it got shat on when he posted about it on LinkedIn lol

And yea it's mad toxic, rankings are kinda meaningless anyways since everyone is interested in diff things

[ember knot]

Anyone have a template to send to recruiter to extend deadline?

[uncut herald]

Is it bad to finish the leetcode question quickly if we know it on amazon final?

[vivid lintel]

If you haven't accepted the written offer yet then it's not reneging, and therefore not a problem

[merry dirge]

Any advice for Salesforce interview?

[finite snow]

has anyone gotten off szn there yet?

[still gazelle]

@thick shore saw u on tiktok

[thick shore]

organically??

[still gazelle]

yes

You commented on a guy doing a leetcode problem

i was like hmm that pfp is familiar

and whatdya know its u

[thick shore]

ohh

dude

i was getting flamed

by that one guy in the comments

LOL

[thick shore]

make sure u go to my page and interact with my posts uwu

i just started posting today

im trying to become tiktok famous

[still gazelle]

alright but dont expose my tiktoks!

[thick shore]

omg

LO

[uncut herald]

If u do average on amazon interview will OA performance give u a boost?

[viral abyss]

thoughts on bloomberg nyc vs microsoft seattle

fr?

yeah thats the big thing

bb new grad is pretty insane too

ive seen it go to 180k

it honestly depends on performance it seems like

havent looked that far into the future tbh

[low epoch]

Do ppl actually learn from/use blind? If i had 15 min to spare everyday what should i look at on blind?

[thick shore]

l0l

idk if its worth it

[viral abyss]

look at tcs to get motivated

kekw

[thick shore]

so much negative shit u have to look through to find the one valuable post

[low epoch]

Is it just silicon valley centric or other locations too?

[thick shore]

its all over usa

[low epoch]

Yeah i dont mind the toxicity or negative if u can find useful stuff buried in there

[thick shore]

yea i would use it then

[low epoch]

I mean i do mind it lol but i dont care

[thick shore]

just take the posts with a grain of salt

4.0 = an A (90-100%)

3.0 = B (80-89%)

so 3.5 is like halfway

[hasty pulsar]

thanks 🙂

[viral abyss]

is that after COL adjustments or just flat out better

hm fr? ive been seeing conflicting numbers on blind and etc

[thorn leaf]

anyone got One Medical recruiter call email request?

[twilit mesa]

does anyone know if gusto does fall?

[flat vine]

they didn't do off-season when i was there

[twilit mesa]

damn

can i pm ? @flat vine

[flat vine]

sure

[hasty pulsar]

@thorn leaf yes!

[thorn leaf]

nice! did u already do it?

[hasty pulsar]

Will be doing tomorrow

when did you get the email, I got it yesterday afternoon

[thorn leaf]

nice, i got mine yesterday afternoon as well

scheduled for monday

any idea how the interview process is like?

i couldnt find any info online

from other ppl who had it before

[hasty pulsar]

its only 15 minutes for first phone interview

doubt its crazy for now

[sand crescent]

Anyone know if amazon updates only the student portal or the amazon.jobs one too?

my student portal has been broken for months now lol

[wary flame]

important updates will be in the student portal

[thorn leaf]

yeah i mean i wonder how the general entire process is like

i.e. idk its usually OA - phone screen - final for most companies

dk how it is for this one

[sand crescent]

ahh i see..guess ill just have to wait for email reject/offer D: thanks!

[stiff vessel]

blind is great for entertainment

[narrow patrol]

^its mainly just trolls that are sometimes funny lmao

[abstract wagon]

I am curious: what is your favourite field in computer science? Outside leetcode and hackerrank

Outside of compensation

Damn i should have expected leetcode and hackerrank

All smart kids want ML

[limber hazel]

ML or distributed systems probably

both kinda niche though

[dapper shard]

full stack or low latency work with c++

[tame hazel]

Yeah, I would go one of these two. I feel everyone is going after ML right now.

[vivid lintel]

ML is such a huge pain in the ass

[limber hazel]

its really fun but its not a great career move

[vivid lintel]

Why not?

I mean if you're good at it then MLE prob pays well

[sinful oar]

I just had my third round for eBay (PM role), as non stressful as it was - way too many rounds for an intern role.

[limber hazel]

too much labor supply not enough jobs

[vivid lintel]

Ah yea that's fair. So more like it's cutthroat, but if you get in it's 👌

[limber hazel]

yeah for sure

[brazen shale]

how is distributed Systems a niche

[low epoch]

distributed/parallel systems i know nothing about but sounds dope

[brazen shale]

almost everything is a distributed system these days

[limber hazel]

I think there just arent that many positions for it

[patent sluice]

fintech bc i like money

[limber hazel]

I dont really know though

[patent sluice]

dont know anything about actual fintech

[brazen shale]

ofcourse there aren't specific positions

you're just a software engineer

[vivid lintel]

If people view backend work a bit more broadly

Distributed systems are literally everywhere

I used to think I was interested in distributed systems, but really I'm just interested in data-intensive backend work

[brave obsidian]

my specialization and research is focused on distributed machine learning

[vivid lintel]

there was an intern at BB working on distributed tensorflow in kubernetes last year

Completely mind fucked me lol

[brave obsidian]

Sounds like fun

[abstract wagon]

Low latency work seems cool

C++ errors not so much

[formal finch]

anyone interviewed and got the offer at HPE

[echo goblet]

twitch OA recommends using Java, is it alright to use Python?

I assume this is a standard DS&A type OA?

[remote geyser]

wait do big n/faang start recruiting/open applications in early august or july?

or even june?

[proud dew]

no, usually later, like august or september

I think banks open earliest

depends on which big n tho, maybe amazon is july

[uncut herald]

If u mess up technical but do good behavioral on amazon final is it still possible to get an offer?

[tacit marsh]

So I sent a follow up email just about results of an interview accidentally at midnight yesterday, the recruiter said she would get back to me on Friday, should I email again?

[simple saffron]

yes

[remote geyser]

Did anyone apply to big N/FAANG when applications first opened (early july/august) and get ghosted/resume rejected?

[formal finch]

@remote geyser i applied with referrals to most faang and big n and got nothing

[remote geyser]

wait like litterally nothing?

which ones did you apply to?

[formal finch]

facebook, apple, amazon, google, twitter, pinterest, and few others

i have to check my internship list when i get back home

[remote geyser]

and you didn't get a single oa?

^if not oa interview?

[formal finch]

nope

actually i got fbu oa but that's auto tho

[remote geyser]

thats a massive L

[remote geyser]

Did you have any past experience?

[formal finch]

I interned/coop at a local company

but im 2nd year rn

so next year, with local company, cisco, and possibly c1, I think i should have a chance at least for an interview or OA

[remote geyser]

ooh lol nvm then

u fine since not junior yet

[formal finch]

@lethal berry yesss

do you know if they have some gc

[small fossil]

You can only use this command in #2021_grad_process or #2021_intern_process

[hallow cedar]

Do you guys know if they still accept people for the summit? I heard it was invite only @lethal berry @formal finch

[formal finch]

@hallow cedar I think they are done but they have summer and fall summit

[hallow cedar]

Ooh okie, how did you get in the winter summit?

[formal finch]

I found the recruiter on LinkedIn and asked

[merry dirge]

Has anyone had a second interview at Salesforce that was also technical

Or was only one of the rounds technical

[obtuse otter]

i need swag

when will my internship send me it

[earnest musk]

swag

[small fossil]

You can only use this command in #2021_grad_process or #2021_intern_process

[obtuse otter]

i base company prestige on linkedin followrs

[tulip jay]

Anybody who completed the Amazon Final Round Interview have any tips for prep, or just how the difficulty was relative to OA2? Just curious, how was the 45 mins divided btw?

[narrow patrol]

10 min behavioral, 30 min technical, 5 min questions

know your LC mediums and study amazon tagged

ppl have gotten all the way from easy/med/hard but i would say the highest frequency difficulty is medium by far, my OA2 was p easy so the difficulty was higher in final for me but it depends on how hard your OA2 was ig, kinda rng

random, i got 2 med 😦 but most ppl get 1 i think, but ive heard ppl getting 1-2 hard too so its super rng

i didnt pass fwiw

but i was also unprepared, i would say if u decent at LC its not a bad interview

like avg difficulty faang wise

hmm, i'd say if you can confidently do most (1) mediums in 30 mins or less you are fine (unless fked by rng)

i wasnt at that level so i struggled quite a bit

@thick ridge i believe

and a few others as well if im not mistaken

[normal axle]

Has anyone here been given a third phone interview for google swe and passed it?

[silk swallow]

Will Amazon get back to me faster after oa 3 if I have a pending offer deadline?

[graceful adder]

Nope, Amazon will tell u to get an extension for the other offer lol

[royal bay]

how would you guys decide between IMC and Amazon? I'll obviously ask for amazon to get deferred to fall but it doesn't seem like they'll agree from what im hearing 😦

[warm crystal]

Amazon probably won't defer

[abstract wagon]

I got rejected by a company for a SWE internship position but i found another position at the same company which i think fits my qualifications better, should I reapply to this new role or just let it go since i got rejected for one position??

[warm crystal]

I think most companies let you apply for 3 positions

[plucky stream]

do it, worst that can happen is you get rejected again but who cares.

[abstract wagon]

Aight i was just worried about blacklist lmao

I don’t wanna be in a place where i get blacklisted since i already got rejected but still reapplied

[warm crystal]

They won't blacklist for such petty reasons lol

[abstract wagon]

Well not re apply lmao

More like applied to a different position

[abstract wagon]

That’s true..

I guess I’ll just do it

Shit perfect then I’ll donit

[warm crystal]

GL

[abstract wagon]

Do it*

Thanks man

I really like this company and i applied for general SWE this new position is more around what i like so hopefully it works better

[spice mango]

I'd take IMC

[abstract wagon]

I should clarify, this is for a hedgefund

I know they’re more strict on application rules so i should still apply right?

[abstract wagon]

If i could get IMC I’d deadass accept that offer blindfolded lmao

[tulip jay]

whats IMC? mb im kinda weak w this stuff lmao

[tulip jay]

appreciate you bro. I've heard ppl literally get nth Fibonacci and palindrome check as their 2 questions too lool 😂

so i guess it just comes down to knowing the fundamentals really well and hoping for a blessed interviewer

how come ppl would choose that over Amazon for a tech role? Just curious..

im from Canada so alot of the US companies im unfamiliar with tbh

[odd kraken]

i think it also seems like a very different experience than Amazon
Amazon will always be there if you want to go there later, but trying out a trading firm to see if you like it seems like a novel experience

[agile saffron]

whats better

ebay or citi bank? pays equal

[thick ridge]

don't quote me but ebay

actual tech company

[agile saffron]

gracias , any info bout culture?

[final hawk]

personally in my experience i prefer tech culture over bank culture

i don't have any info about ebay or citi bank specifically

i think learning about stuff at a bank is actually pretty interesting i learned a lot about trading

[abstract wagon]

i think ebay is better for resume

[restive falcon]

Do you know what teams

[final hawk]

very true

ik people who like finance culture over tech culture

[abstract wagon]

I'm in

[thick shore]

💀 💀 💀 💀

if i have to wear more than a tshirt to the interview it isnt a good Fit

i think finance u have to dress up in day to day job too

omg

[abstract wagon]

They keep your money safe

[final hawk]

engineering depts are more laid back so you don't have to dress up

[abstract wagon]

They need to be well dressed

To inspire you "trust"

[final hawk]

prob have to dress up for big important meetings thoguh

[narrow patrol]

didnt you get squarespace lmfao literally on the list of nyc companies 😂

[thick ridge]

might just be me but I feel like wearing a suit to work would be kinda fun

[umbral heart]

Once you get into the actual job tho, no t :(

[thick ridge]

ok ya but the rest r hard

[umbral heart]

Aren't you a sophmore

[narrow patrol]

they have a smaller but growing office there

[umbral heart]

Idk man, did gusto oa last year without any prep and fell flat on my face :')

Tbh, I got lc meds and I just learned python that week

[narrow patrol]

i c, yea i am terrible at LC so anything above LC easy is tricky

[umbral heart]

I just need to visualize how to solve problems...but I can't solve optimally lmao

[narrow patrol]

hm i seeee

yea optimal is tricky its usually one of the common patterns tho

i just have trouble recognizing the patterns 😂 just need more practice tbh

[abstract wagon]

i had a legit LC hard for gusto- nvm you meant the OA lol

[narrow patrol]

def not

i struggle with most LC problems

and failed all meaningful LC interviews (amazon, bb, etc)

hmm the ones i got were mainly just rly strong behavioral + decent coding skill (non LC) + good communication while solving problem (had multiple interviewers tell me this)

so im p good at those things, but my data structure & algorithm skill def needs a lot of work

[dapper shard]

@abstract wagon idk why this man cappin. Know good and well he just a chad

[vivid lintel]

Don't sleep on startups :)

[ionic fog]

also companies w/ satellite offices in NYC (which is like at least 50% of the list you posted) have limited headcount and it's likely most of that headcount is for more senior levels/non-eng

[thick ridge]

LOL i had

[sinful oar]

Is insta separate from the fb office?

[thick ridge]

yeah still a little salty lol

but its ok don't wanna work there anymore

or so I'm trying to convince myself lmao

[narrow patrol]

fuck amazon bro

squarespace >>

[thick ridge]

my homies hate amazon

gusto >>

[proper mountain]

wtf is critical connection

[thick ridge]

cut edge in a graph really

[proper mountain]

damn i gave up amazon since OA 1, aint got no time to debug bs

[loud hollow]

i cant believe u got a lc hard

[narrow patrol]

hmm

debugging was the best part tho 😂

[proper mountain]

i hate debugging

[thick ridge]

me neither tbh

[proper mountain]

debug my damn code every 30 mins

[thick ridge]

what sucks is that one of my hs friends didn't even prep LC and got amazon cuz interview rng

happy for him but it shouldnt b like that

[narrow patrol]

yeaa i heard ppl from my school got amzn, msft w/ LC easy

[loud hollow]

praying if i get lc med its number of islands

[proper mountain]

Expedia vs LinkedIn?

[loud hollow]

Linkedin

[proper mountain]

I really hope I don’t pass LinkedIn final. I don’t wanna renege Expedia 💀

[loud hollow]

LOL what

[strange wraith]

Linkedin 100%

[loud hollow]

wait is it oa -> final

[abstract wagon]

[strange wraith]

thats worth reneging imo

[abstract wagon]

same

[strange wraith]

same

[proper mountain]

man idk LinkedIn is in cali and return offer now days is 10-20% vs expedia is in seattle and return offer is 90%

[abstract wagon]

why is your name sausagegamer

do you like sausage or something

[proper mountain]

cause I like Texas Sausage

Sausage Link

[abstract wagon]

oh nice

[proper mountain]

OA->phone-> final

[loud hollow]

ah got ya

[proper mountain]

damn like why they gotta contact me so late

i was already all set, and now im unsure

[loud hollow]

i think the return offer was low this year cause covid

im p sure itll be back up next year idk

[proper mountain]

Is interning at LinkedIn so so much better than expedia?

[strange wraith]

i mean i guess no one can objectively say

unless we have someone here who did both

personally I would take LinkedIn if i had both offers

[proper mountain]

i wish I can move either one to Fall

[fallow shuttle]

Id choose LinkedIn personally but the return offer is concerning

[proper mountain]

someone just stab me

https://tenor.com/view/killed-em-hold-this-stabbed-gif-14017151

[odd kraken]

data infra at LinkedIn seems hella cool

[vivid lintel]

Linkedin made kafka

[odd kraken]

ikr

[narrow patrol]

why do none of my offers go offseason 😦

btw, when asking abt offseason, do yall normally call or email recruiter?

[dapper shard]

LinkedIn return offer rate for fte is shit....

Unless you’re really confident you can pass new grad interviews

[fringe mesa]

is the facebook codesignal with webcam and screenshare?

[strange wraith]

nope

[sinful oar]

also going to add in, keep in mind what companies link up with bootcamps and offer apprenticeships - as this will be a good indicator of established new grad/entry level opportunities and mentorship programs!

[final hawk]

i just email

[thorny gorge]

wow.

i think i applied mad late so all the spots prob are mostly taken

[ionic fog]

yeah iirc

[sinful oar]

Hopefully most major companies will continue with remote-first offices into next year

[tacit marsh]

i asked this before but opendoor vs cap 1? most people in my area haven't even heard of opendoor and they mostly say cap 1

also if a recruiter asks you how you are standing in accepting an offer did i fuck up in saying id prolly take their company?

[nova knoll]

I mean no but probs should have said I’m still deciding in case u don’t take them and they feel slighted

[narrow patrol]

nah they understand shit happens, like u might have got another offer

but yea usually saying "im still deciding" is the best way to go

[narrow patrol]

i answered before but i will ask u this time

what are your main priorities/what do you want to get out of the internship? can you give like a few top things you prioritize

fr?

[tacit marsh]

okay pay is identical, opendoor has better FT offers 100, but I think cap 1 will be more fun/structured and maybe if i was local to my area cap 1 is better on the resume

[narrow patrol]

reasons?

[tacit marsh]

no

2nd year

[narrow patrol]

:thonk:

wat is the reasons...

@abstract wagon

..

[nova knoll]

Capital One is often thought of as a gateway company to better things idk if it’s true but that’s what people say

[narrow patrol]

hmm

i still have to ask what are your main priorities @tacit marsh

ig what im mainly wondering is what would he gain from c1 intern program over opendoor

[tacit marsh]

realistically resume impact, and I could graduate early and take opendoor FT if they did offer it but cap 1 FT is bad

[narrow patrol]

both of these are pros for opendoor imo, opendoor def better name on resume (known for high eng bar) and opendoor FT is also better w/ graduating early

still not seeing the pros for c1?

right, but is that an area of interest specifically?

[thick shore]

opendoor

[narrow patrol]

faang isnt the end goal for everyone

@abstract wagon

[thick shore]

no one on here knows what opendoor is

but

[tacit marsh]

because if i got a 160-200k job why wouldn't I

[thick shore]

opendoor has way better eng culture

[narrow patrol]

^^

[thick shore]

there’s a handful of uber there now

[narrow patrol]

so?

[narrow patrol]

exactly

[fresh wren]

You can still apply to new grad if you graduate early right?

[narrow patrol]

ok even if the goal isnt FT i dont see the advantage of c1

opendoor will help more in future recruiting

pay is same, according to limetaco

[thick shore]

💀💀💀

[narrow patrol]

thats similar to unicorns..

[tacit marsh]

pay is same for me

richmond thats y

[thick shore]

idk getting a sf tech company on tacos resume is his goal

[narrow patrol]

also, imo u should never prioritize intern pay

[thick shore]

but opendoor is gonna do exactly that

so i would do it :)

[narrow patrol]

^me too

sorry i am biased since i am doing that 😂

[sullen nest]

got an offer at JPMC yesterday. anyone did the internship before?

how was it?

[narrow patrol]

plenty of unicorns are 50-55

[thick shore]

also opendoor is way smaller

[sullen nest]

they told me that pay would be $40.86/hr

[thick shore]

so u will likely have more impact as intern

[narrow patrol]

imo opendoor is significantly better unless u dont want to be at SF tech company

as joey was saying, higher impact, well known in SF, high engineering bar and culture, fast growing, similar pay

i dont see significant advantage c1 has tbh

[thick shore]

lmao

[sullen nest]

I was going to Intern at Harman last year and that got cancelled due to COVID and I got an offer yesterday to return to that internship

[thick shore]

this is a discord full of college kids

[sullen nest]

so deciding rn

[thick shore]

taco should ask on blind for their opinion

[narrow patrol]

blind is def gonna say opendoor lmaoo

[thick shore]

with poll

[tacit marsh]

idk its surprising most people say cap 1 that i have asked but i guess i only know college kids

[narrow patrol]

but yea ask

blind will prob wonder if u r trolling

[thick shore]

ur in a bubble taco

that’s why

[narrow patrol]

blind hates banks lol

[thick shore]

blind is a bubble too thin

tho *

[cobalt raven]

pick opendoor lol

[thick shore]

but it’s a more knowledgeable bubble

[narrow patrol]

dude

what is ur priority???

can you list like 3 things you value the most about the internship (pay, impact, prestige, future recruiting, return offer)

?

[cobalt raven]

sure c1 will give opportunities but so will opendoor

[wary flame]

yes it's possible. you never know

[cobalt raven]

in fact any swe internship will give u opportunities

[thick shore]

why does strawpoll look like discord

[tacit marsh]

1. resume impact
2. future recruiting
3. return offer

[narrow patrol]

1. resume impact -> pro opendoor, more impact imo

[cobalt raven]

@abstract wagon are you on the east coast?

[narrow patrol]

2. pro opendoor, more well known by other unicorns and faang (if thats your goal)

3. pro opendoor (stronger return offer)

@abstract wagon i swear ur trolling rn

[low epoch]

If it’s more clout with tech sphere then THAT is the kind of clout that matters

[narrow patrol]

is drillking trolling..

im confused

[thick shore]

i don’t mind making a poll for u on blind @tacit marsh

if u don’t have an acc

[tacit marsh]

yea i don't have acc

[narrow patrol]

drillking..

if limetaco wants to go a tech company, opendoor return offer is obv much better

[cobalt raven]

it makes sense why you're pushing for c1. more people on the east coast lean towards bank imo

lime taco should take open door if he wants to go to sf

[narrow patrol]

im on east coast and i am unicorn simp

jfc

[tacit marsh]

ft i would not itnern at cap 1 again

[narrow patrol]

c1 is not more known

u asked college students lol

not tech recruiters

he just said ft

..

[cobalt raven]

@tacit marsh next year do you want to work in the bay?

tbh you can't go wrong. but opendoor is just strictly better in my opinion

you'll be given a much better project at opendoor than at c1

[tacit marsh]

im mixed but i can't see myself turning down a good job offer with good TC, only reason I would decline is to enjoy my last year of college

[cobalt raven]

can you ask about team placement?

i think that will be helpful in deciding.

[tacit marsh]

not yet they do a month before it starts

[narrow patrol]

do you wnat to work at c1 FT..

or opendoor

[thick shore]

l0l

[narrow patrol]

its a clear choice then imo

[thick shore]

i mean there’s ur answer

or go for tech company now

🥴🥴

[narrow patrol]

opendoor is a tech company tho...

[abstract wagon]

go open door

[cobalt raven]

opendoor is literally a tech company

wtf

LMAO

[thick shore]

hahahah

[silk ridge]

🚪

[thick shore]

🧢

[cobalt raven]

drillking is literally tripping

[narrow patrol]

@abstract wagon :cap:

[abstract wagon]

capital one is a tech company too

[cobalt raven]

theyre more a bank tbh lol

[narrow patrol]

😂

[cobalt raven]

but theyre both good

!!

[low epoch]

C1 has computers at their office

Therefore tech

[nova knoll]

C1 is most tech bank but they still a bank 🤣

[narrow patrol]

i am not sure why c1 is so overrated by college student

lol

[abstract wagon]

opendoor easy choice man

[formal finch]

go open door

[low epoch]

Because propaganda works thats why

[abstract wagon]

hows the pay at opendoor btw

[cobalt raven]

@tacit marsh also think about intern class. how big are the intern classes? that should help you gauge how impactful your project will be 🙂

[thick shore]

the flashy pay actually works on college kids

[tacit marsh]

open door is <10

[cobalt raven]

bruh

[tacit marsh]

c1 is huge i think

[narrow patrol]

holy shit

[cobalt raven]

that's amazing

[narrow patrol]

<10

thats incredible!!!!

[cobalt raven]

literally taht's amazing

[thick shore]

yea wtf

lmao

[cobalt raven]

i'd take it in a heartbeat

[narrow patrol]

dawg go opendoor

[abstract wagon]

10k/month?

[formal finch]

yo def go for open door

[narrow patrol]

intern class size

he said

i think

[cobalt raven]

<10 interns

[abstract wagon]

oh LMFAO

[narrow patrol]

thats legit amazing

[low epoch]

Wait yall value small intern size??

[silk ridge]

< 10 per hour

[cobalt raven]

that's literally so amazing and you'll be be able to learn so much

[narrow patrol]

bruh this is good not bad

[cobalt raven]

yes. it means they vetted applicants really hard to find the right fit if theyre hiring <10

[low epoch]

I prefer to be paid in exposure 😎

[narrow patrol]

otherwise u get programs like c1 where so many people has an offer

its just so common

[tacit marsh]

idk tho thats what they said last year

[narrow patrol]

at that point

opendoor is a much more unique experience

[formal finch]

Wtf

[abstract wagon]

can someone share opendoor salary

[formal finch]

dude having less than 10 other ppl is nice

[abstract wagon]

is it faang competitive

[formal finch]

more impact and a lot more work

[narrow patrol]

he said its same as c1 richmond

[fresh wren]

I highly doubt its the same this year because opendoor has grown a lot

[narrow patrol]

for intern

[cobalt raven]

that's fine, it's most likely still <50

[abstract wagon]

oh thats nutty

[fresh wren]

@cobalt raven true

Opendoor for sure btw @tacit marsh

[abstract wagon]

capital one probably got bajillion interns

ill take 50 over bajillion

[narrow patrol]

wait

it makes sense that no one here knows opendoor

none of yall buying/selling houses

bc too young

[low epoch]

Yeah dang i never realized few interns = good

[abstract wagon]

wrong i bought a house

[narrow patrol]

hmm

well ig most dont

[cobalt raven]

you'll be working on a much better project if there are little interns.

[fresh wren]

@low epoch its just a better mentor-intern relationship with less interns

[formal finch]

Covid?

[low epoch]

“Yeah we have little interns”
“They’re all 5’6 at most”

[fresh wren]

lmai

[cobalt raven]

@abstract wagon now you're focusing on the wrong things to justify why he should take c1. lol

[narrow patrol]

drillking is straight 🧢 lol

[formal finch]

Rip I’m 5 6

[narrow patrol]

wtf

[formal finch]

bruh this man is really trolling

[cobalt raven]

opendoor is literally in sf and you can go to bars too LMFAO

[narrow patrol]

yea i wasnt sure if you were trolling then either

[formal finch]

Last time that I checked every state got bars XD

[narrow patrol]

it seems c1 has messed with u if u not trolling

@abstract wagon u r c1 recruiter 🕵️

[fresh wren]

i just realized opendoor has 5bn dollar market cap

[abstract wagon]

i got bars

[fresh wren]

they are basically at unicorn level

[tacit marsh]

they ipo soon

[cobalt raven]

@abstract wagon taco could be a girl lmao chill

[formal finch]

taco is hot girl 😩😩

trust me XD

[abstract wagon]

tack is hot girl 🥺🥺

[cobalt raven]
