[abstract wagon]

setting it up is pain

I know

FPGA and that shit sucks

it's fun building on large boards though

with the crystal led displays and switches and buttons

feels like engineering

[strange wraith]

systems prog and OS is the closest I will ever get to the EE side of things

[abstract wagon]

Real engineering is with helmet

[strange wraith]

just does not click for me

[abstract wagon]

I am starting GPU programming that is actually cool

oh thats cool

through a class or personal project?

It's like a 1 on 1 class with a professor

It's part of his research on ML but I will do boring things and don't take any recognition

But on resume I will say that I was the leader

reverse scam

[sinful tinsel]

can anyone here do a mock interview for me tomorrow?

[thorny gorge]

hi guys

[tacit marsh]

could i lose an offer by asking for an extension?

[vivid lintel]

very unlikely unless you ask in a way that offends the recruiter

[twilit mesa]

^

[tacit marsh]

What about:

I am currently finishing up some interviews with other companies. Would it be possible to extend the offer deadline a week?

They gave me an exploding offer although they verbally committed about a month ago

[strange wraith]

There used to be a fire template for this

i cant find it anymore

o i found it - creds to Deputy

Hi [RECRUITER]!
This is DeputyDank and we talked on the phone a while ago about my offer! I was wondering if I could receive a 2 week extension on my 10/14 deadline. 

I'm very interested in working at Goldman Sachs and learning more about the intersection between computer science and finance! However, I’ve been fairly busy the past two weeks with the Grace Hopper Conference (I spoke to Sinead Strain from Goldman and she was extremely passionate about her work which was inspiring!) and midterms, thus I haven’t had much time to reflect on my offer. I want to make sure that whatever decision I make for next summer, it is a decision made with a lot of thought. My apologies for any inconveniences, thank you!

Best,
DeputyDank

[abstract wagon]

recruiter's response:

Done.

[stuck fulcrum]

Amazon vs better.com? Thoughts?

[strange wraith]

actual recruiter response:

In order to be able to provide a fair and equitable experience for all of our candidates, we must adhere to your current deadline.

got this like 5 different times

tried every excuse in the book lol

[abstract wagon]

say to them that they are losing a future MVP

you cookin

soup

[strange wraith]

sorry need an extra week cause my soup turned out badly

[bitter onyx]

i hate exploding offers

[strange wraith]

exploding offers are cap

two weeks should be a thing

[stiff vessel]

lol i was given an offer with 1 day deadline

[strange wraith]

I think my worst was 48 hours

[vapid condor]

yall got offers?

[abstract wagon]

@strange wraith lmao i didn't notice that your pic is actually tomato soup

[strange wraith]

wrong tag xd

[vapid condor]

nice tag

[strange wraith]

but yes

[vapid condor]

xd

[strange wraith]

i love tomato soup

[vapid condor]

aye is it too late to find internships now

no offers yet

[stiff vessel]

am new grad

oldhead

[strange wraith]

i did

xd

[pliant hawk]

[stiff vessel]

i accepted the 1 day one lol

[abstract wagon]

damn nice username

[bitter onyx]

i also accepted an exploding offer but am willing to renege if i get something better lol

rather have a backup then nothing

[abstract wagon]

i do two internships at time thanks to timezone diff

[vivid lintel]

the offer explodes like a piñata, and instead of candy there's money

[abstract wagon]

it's called low latency recruiting

[abstract wagon]

i would love to receive that message from a recruiter

like twitter recruiter

[thorn leaf]

yeah same

[vivid lintel]

no no, it's called geo-distributed, high-throughput, self-healing recruiting

[abstract wagon]

how likely is it to get an internship and return offer junior year?

rockstar return offer at FB after coding all summer only with iphone 👀

im thinking of pushing nonCS requirements to senior year

[vivid lintel]

wdym how likely? as long as you finish your project and vibe with the team, there's like a 90% chance you get a return offer

[abstract wagon]

really? for most companies? are internships less competitive or more from than soph/freshman vs junior year

[bitter onyx]

well they already know you + know you work well with the team and know what you're doing on said team

it'd be better for them to bring you back rather than someone new

[vivid lintel]

are you asking if it's harder to get a return offer as a junior rather than as a freshman/sophomore?

because I don't think I've seen any difference in practice. It's just that as a freshman or sophomore, you'd get a return offer for another internship instead of a return offer to work full-time

and yea it's honestly not too difficult to get a return offer unless you either a) don't finish your project or b) your manager hates your guts

(b) is extremely unlikely

[abstract wagon]

will i have a harder time finding internships next year(soph) than next year?

should i leave off classes that arent CS-related to senior year since I wont have to interview if i get return offer?

and take less classes now to focus on working on things im interested in that will build my resume

[abstract wagon]

how much difficult are the projects? I have never worked before in my life and i think I am low IQ developer

^^

[vivid lintel]

depends company to company tbh

[abstract wagon]

like famous banana company

[vivid lintel]

like at bloomberg our intern projects are mostly straightforward, a lot of interns finish with several weeks left

oh amazon

even at amazon they're pretty doable according to my friend who has interned there

[abstract wagon]

FB ?

[vivid lintel]

but again, depends by company and by team

even within amazon, there could be a very demanding team

[abstract wagon]

is there a spreadsheet with return offer rates?

[vivid lintel]

hmm not that I'm aware of tbh

[civic elbow]

Late but is this the raleigh location?

[dapper vector]

nyc

[vivid lintel]

I think it's a good strategy if you know what you're interested in

[abstract wagon]

im split rn

[vivid lintel]

because if you intern at a good company that you'd like to work full time at

and get a return offer

then you're chillin

[civic elbow]

not sure about nyc but i interviewed for final round at raleigh last month and never heard back

[dapper vector]

i only had the first round interview

[civic elbow]

credit suisse's campus recuritment sucks major ass at replying back and updating candidates

[dapper vector]

i think they're still accepting applications and maybe thats why?

[civic elbow]

I was on csmajors subreddit and ik others also have a lot of trouble emailing

Cause they almost never respond

[dapper vector]

yeah that's pretty sucky

[civic elbow]

I got ghosted too

[dapper vector]

did you apply for the sophomore program or the regular one?

[civic elbow]

Tbh i thot i applied for their financial analyst position but randomly i got an email for their sophomore program

so sophomore

[dapper vector]

same

they moved me to that too

because i delayed my graduation lol

[civic elbow]

haha

And yet no response for them

from*

[dapper vector]

yeah their log in page is weird rn

[civic elbow]

how so?

also u can try to email their campus recruitment but i doubt they reply

[dapper vector]

pretty much trying to check the application status

[civic elbow]

I just see

Application in progress

And last updated december 2nd

A day before my final interview

[dapper vector]

mine was updated right before halloween lol

[civic elbow]

The position isnt closed either

So idk whats happening

[dapper vector]

yeah thats what i see

[civic elbow]

I was hoping we'd get a response after new years

just want any response at this point

[dapper vector]

same

like the internship hunt sucks

[lethal ore]

What company is this for?

[icy juniper]

does two sigma reject

i never heard back from them

or do they just ghost

[civic elbow]

Credit suisse

[dapper vector]

same

palantir just sent me the rejection right away lol

[icy juniper]

[somber saddle]

What do you guys do after doing an interview

[dapper vector]

not as bad as this ghosting here

[somber saddle]

Or when waiting for a decision

[stiff vessel]

drink

[dapper vector]

relax

[stiff vessel]

same thing

[civic elbow]

I second this

[torn dagger]

same here fam

[thorny gorge]

time to drink my sorrows away

with water

[small fossil]

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

[torn dagger]

are u also offerless

[runic tinsel]

does it look bad to apply to 10-12 intern positions at a company?

[thorny gorge]

yuh

[torn dagger]

u a junior?

[thorny gorge]

sophy

[torn dagger]

ah

just wonderin

[runic tinsel]

all of them are around the same skillset (ML, data)

[thorny gorge]

zzz wheres the rng gods

give me offer

[cobalt raven]

another thing that you guys can do is civic fellowship

i just found out about it

apps are due soon ish?

[thorny gorge]

honda civic?

[cobalt raven]

👋 hiru

[stiff vessel]

lo

[cobalt raven]

https://www.codingitforward.com/civic-digital-fellowship

i didnt know about this opportunity until this year and it's pretty cool imo

[thorny gorge]

wow

thanks

[proper mountain]

I applied to 20 positions at Dell lol

[runic tinsel]

lol yeha im applying to like 20 at adobe

all ML

[proper mountain]

have you heard back from any

[runic tinsel]

nope

[turbid river]

haha same they have like so many positions that I feel like I could be a fit for but not a single reply

[runic tinsel]

i think they only hire from target schools tbh

the only people i see on there getting jobs at adobe are from the top 5 schools

[turbid river]

Idk about that, Adobe is supposedly one of the top employers at my school but we're definitely not Top 5

[runic tinsel]

which school?

[turbid river]

UMass

looking more closely at the list I think that's for grad students but I think they've came to our career fair in the past

[sinful oar]

I heard back from Adobe and not from target school; also applied to over 8 different positions lol

[runic tinsel]

@sinful oar for ML intern?

[sinful oar]

PM intern

[runic tinsel]

oh damn

[sinful oar]

But I also applied to SWE, front end and data

[runic tinsel]

did you get an offer

[sinful oar]

PM was the only one I got a response, I already signed an offer so I didn’t interview

[abstract wagon]

https://giphy.com/gifs/NbrGVVR8IhjA4

me daydreaming about how to simp to js

contribute a large pull request to their open source

when the code runs it prints out "Hire me" and my email in a secret message

[thorny gorge]

Make a bomb lab where every phase is “hire me” “Harvey mud” the recruiters will love u

[abstract wagon]

https://giphy.com/gifs/funny-weird-alien-PmpA5ohOUl1xC

me hearing BOP's big brain plan

[vivid lintel]

Bomb lab best lab

[thick ridge]

i thought u had interview coming up?

oh wait was that sarcasm

[cobalt raven]

is fb filled for fall

hm

[crystal river]

Wonder how the Pitt CSC repo affected recruiting

There were probably small companies that were surprised they suddenly got 5000+ more applications

[thick ridge]

doesnt the oa not hold a lot of weight

u also have the phone right so just smurf on that

[limber hazel]

people here have been saying that fb OA this year is just for calibration purposes

not actually counted against you

[dapper shard]

you don't have phone confirmed yet?

i got my confirmation today

and i haven't taken the codesignal yet

you should get the confirmation tomorrow then

as far as ive been told as well, the OA doesn't really mean much at all for your consideration for the position

[abstract wagon]

what was the oa like? is security oa same as swe?

[dapper shard]

haven't taken mine yet. it is just codesignal though so i would assume the same as always

[abstract wagon]

? i got hackerrank?

[dapper shard]

oh, well mine is a hackerrank

[keen birch]

bruh

[timber solar]

Anyone interviewed with Cisco's Collaboration Team for internship? Please Dm me if you did.

[abstract wagon]

the thing about leetcode is if there isn't any info about past leetcode questions or interviews i usually fail

[patent sluice]

how much leetcode have you done?

i found that after a certain point it was better for me to take my time with each problem

and really try to think thru it

when i started if i couldn't figure it out in under 15 i would just look at the answer, but after you've done enough and know all the patterns its not as effective

[abstract wagon]

about 200 problems but i mainly do the same ones on company lists over and over

[thorny gorge]

[amber pulsar]

working on a side project helped me more than leetcode

[tacit marsh]

do blind 75 and grasp all the general concepts, read ctci chapters that really helped me -- just the introduction to each data structure/algorithm and also the various techniques for approaching problems

[amber pulsar]

some of my final interviews had me implement methods, which all interact with each other

leetcode helped with each individual method, but not really for all of it coming together

[serene lagoon]

Has anyone interned at ServiceNow? I have a question about the process

[humble saddle]

ik a couple who have gone through the process

[serene lagoon]

What happens after the technical/engineering interview? I was contacted by the recruiter for another zoom call but it says nothing about what it is about other than the subject “interview feedback”

[sick remnant]

Has anyone interviewed for Coinbase Frontend Development role?

[humble saddle]

i had one friend who had 1 final round interview after phone screen, and another who had 2 interviews after phone

[serene lagoon]

Alright, thanks!

[abstract wagon]

what project? i havent used data structures except in an interpreter/assembler project

and i deliberately chose it so i could use it to talk about applying data structures in an interview

[abstract wagon]

i did that but i guess i should read ctci for graphs and dp since i didnt read those or cover in class

[nimble flax]

sent 80 apps so far

pain

[still gazelle]

i feel u man

hard as fuck for freshman to get anything

[lethal ore]

Just keep applying

Try for a local company

[humble saddle]

@serene lagoon just asked another friend, she got an offer right after the technical round

[serene lagoon]

Do you know how they notified her?

[humble saddle]

she was called

[serene lagoon]

Gotcha, thank you so much

[junior elk]

true, ive gotten nothing so far

[still gazelle]

wait till march/april bro

local companies gon pop out

[junior elk]

april seems kinda late doesn't it?

i was thinking feb is probably the right time

[nimble flax]

im only doing my local city and remote

because relocation in covid is Cringe

[lethal ore]

Yea I would have done the same tbh

[still gazelle]

my friend got both of his internships as hs senior n college freshman in marc/april

[unkempt vault]

Hey everyone I'm kinda new here, but under #intern_salary_sharing how do we know if the internships are meant for summer or any other term?

[abstract wagon]

Mit YouTube videos about DP are good

[strong dove]

Is anyone still hiring? 😢

[thorny gorge]

apply to the Civic Digital Summer Fellowship internship

[abstract wagon]

try MLH Fellowship

[echo grail]

Does anyone know if JP Morgan Chase is still hiring for summer?

[abstract wagon]

Ok ill watch them

[simple saffron]

@echo grail i think they’re full or very close to full

no harm in applying though

[thorny gorge]

wait

why is there an application fee for

MLH

do u guys think its a big late to apply for mlh lol

[thick ridge]

lmao college app type beat

[thorny gorge]

i said sike

i closed the mlh tab

[low epoch]

It’s optional

[thick ridge]

who is gonna pay an optional application fee lmao

[thorny gorge]

ok time to apply again

[low epoch]

You also choose how much to pay lol

I mean yeah it’s ethically questionable. It’s open to people who aren’t college students as well, but a program asking for money doesn’t inspire much confidence

[thorny gorge]

agreed

[abstract wagon]

when dropbox says scripting to they mean lc easy

like fb security asks scripting questions that are lc easy

[vivid lintel]

isn't MLH a nonprofit or smth?

nvm they are not

[low epoch]

Not surprised. I know a lot of people love hackathons but i feel like ethical non profits wont be endorsing kiddos to stay up all night to crank out bad code for a weekend and run on caffeine and junk food

[thorny gorge]

caffiene is good

[low epoch]

Lol i know, hackathons are just about the least problematic thing in our field. But not without flaws lol, just my 2 cents

[vivid lintel]

idk if it weren't for hackathons, I probably wouldn't be where I am today

they were the perfect environment to experiment ideas with friends in a low risk environment

and the risk is tunable, if you don't care about winning, it's low risk

but yea I 100% agree there are a lot of shitty aspects about hackathons

I stopped going to them after I landed internships I wanted

[low epoch]

they are great opportunities, yeah i think if u see it as a chance to try stuff and especially with friends that should make the experience almost perfect; so it’s a mentality thing

[vivid lintel]

yup

[thorny gorge]

[vivid lintel]

they should really stop giving out the caffeinated soymilk and chocolates tho

*soylent

[abstract wagon]

Yeah that fee thing is really questionable lol

[fringe mesa]

should i have my video on for a technical screen?

[patent sluice]

What

I never got an interview

[fringe mesa]

check your spam?

[patent sluice]

Nope

[fringe mesa]

weird

maybe they sent you the wrong email template

[fringe mesa]

!join facebook

[unborn hornet]

@fringe mesa, Please run this command in the #bot_commands channel

[abstract wagon]

naah i have received the same email lol

i have done the OA in september so they have just finished the spots and sent an automatic mail

[thorny gorge]

[abstract wagon]

the dropbox security oa is the same question for launch

should i tell the recruiter?

[vivid lintel]

I mean they probably already know it's the same

and if they don't, just take the free W

[still gazelle]

i didnt either

[proper mountain]

any internships changed to in person or is in person?

[thorny gorge]

[sinful oar]

eBay is open to being in person this summer

[thorny gorge]

do u need vaccine tho

[runic tinsel]

You got both OAs?

Would someone be willing to read thru my cold email and give me feedback? 🙂

[narrow patrol]

hey so i sent out the renege template somebody made from reddit but a company replied asking if i could give more detail or feedback on why im reneging

any recommendations on what to reply?

[sinful oar]

it’s likely

[twin obsidian]

why are you reneging

[simple saffron]

tell them unexpected financial reasons surrounding the pandemic

they will back off

[mild kelp]

do internships that ask for scripting languages proficiency like python, typically ask LC easy problems? what if the interview is 45 min long?

[pulsar shadow]

they might start with a lc easy but hit you with a follow up question

[drowsy quarry]

unexpected family reasons surrounding the pandemic, they will back off even harder

[humble saddle]

Depends on company

[mild kelp]

so mine is Palo Alto Networks

and they said its a 45-min technical interview

[humble saddle]

I’d expect lc easy/medium with follow ups

[mild kelp]

follow up?

also how many LC problems were you thinking, 2 problems, 1 easy and 1 medium?

[humble saddle]

I’ve never interviewed there haha

[mild kelp]

no problem! i meant like if you were guessing what would you say

based on the time given

[humble saddle]

Id expect 2 problems, easy/medium maybe

if it’s medium, maybe 1 problem

[mild kelp]

i was thinking 1 LC medium

[pulsar shadow]

45min seem too short for 2 problems

[simple saffron]

prob 1 lc med

[mild kelp]

^yeah

[humble saddle]

Not for fb 😭

[simple saffron]

knowing palo alto

[pulsar shadow]

XD

[simple saffron]

bruh i have a 30 min technical + behavioral i hate interview time crunches

[mild kelp]

are they usually nicer in terms of giving time

[simple saffron]

no, but they just seem pretty typical of most tech firms in that area

which is 1 lc med in 45min

[mild kelp]

ah, i see

and i wouldn't expect behavioral questions?

since they specified its a tech interview

[simple saffron]

prob like 1 or 2 questions on previous experiences

[mild kelp]

thought so, okay

[simple saffron]

like i said im just going off of the typical interview format

check glassdoor for more detailed info

[mild kelp]

ya, i just meant in general

glassdoor doesn't have any info for the position i'm interviewing for

[simple saffron]

swe intern?

[mild kelp]

SDET

[simple saffron]

oh. i would expect less LC and more general technical questions then

[mild kelp]

oh?

should we move to DM, lol

[simple saffron]

sure

[narrow patrol]

@simple saffron interesting is it advisable to lie like this?

im just worried they will figure out im lying when they see my linkedin in like may lol

[drowsy quarry]

yea but what will they do

[simple saffron]

Uh I'd go more with my thing because finances are easier to excuse w/ another company

[narrow patrol]

hmm true yeah i didnt want to say i accepted another internship at a better company

[simple saffron]

if compensation or relocation makes more sense

[pulsar shadow]

why not

[narrow patrol]

ooh i see, finances

like in the sense of comp

[simple saffron]

yes

and they can implicitly take it as like

you need more money to support your family

[narrow patrol]

i see yeah that makes sense cause i wont be lying as much yeah

gotcha, thanks!

[pulsar shadow]

lying with some truth is the best way to lie

[simple saffron]

np gl

[low epoch]

Dont say it’s related to pandemic. Just an illness/health concern

[drowsy quarry]

honestly I wonder if people would be better of just saying they accepted another position with a better company lol, how would the honestly hurt anyways?

[simple saffron]

it just makes you look bad

even if it is the truth

it's jsut standard to have some tact when navigating these things

[pulsar shadow]

don't want to burn all the bridges

[narrow patrol]

wait fr

[simple saffron]

why wouldnt you leverage the pandemic

nobody will question that

rather than making up a health concern

[narrow patrol]

hmm yeah makes sense, how does this sound

?

[low epoch]

Poggo is right about mentioning pandemic, i just did not support wording it to sound like the illness is pandemic related (covid is temporary and most people recover, etc). Dont mention money

[patent sluice]

dont mention money

[remote geyser]

wouldn't it be better to not mention other opprutunities at all?

[patent sluice]

someone posted a really good template a few months ago

i cant find it

[narrow patrol]

how can i use financial reason and not mention money lmaoo

[remote geyser]

I think he means change/remove the last sentence of the paragraph

[patent sluice]

yeah i would definitely remove the last sentence

[narrow patrol]

Thank you for understanding. Due to unexpected financial reasons surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, I wasn't able to proceed with the internship for next summer.

Thanks and I hope to stay in touch in the future.

Best,
[NAME]```

?

[patent sluice]

better

[remote geyser]

wasn't --> will not be

lol

[patent sluice]

and i think someone here a few months ago advised us to be more apologetic if you want to stay on good terms, bc sometimes its a hassle for recruiters

im gonna see if i can find the template

[narrow patrol]

ty

i knew it sounded off kek

[narrow patrol]

i already sent the reenge template

[thorn leaf]

i was looking over my cold email template which i used a bunch recently and i didnt catch this mistake fml

rip me

[narrow patrol]

with multiple apologies

this is my reply after the recruiter followed up askign for reasons @patent sluice

[patent sluice]

ohh

yeah don't tell them you accepted another offer

[narrow patrol]

bet

sending this rn

just saying not able to proceed

[loud raft]

LOL here is your resume now I am going to give you an OA

[vivid lintel]

Sounds good to me

[thorn leaf]

"im gonna give YOU a resume rejecT"

fucking rip me

[patent sluice]

@narrow patrol if i can ask what company did you renege?

[narrow patrol]

dms

[narrow patrol]

dm

[vivid lintel]

No why would anyone do that

Why burn a bridge if it can be avoided

[simple saffron]

^^

idk why some people insist on being incredibly honest with firms that will fuck you over for gains

[patent sluice]

yea don't tell them hey i picked this company over you cause you guys suck lol

its better if a company thinks you weren't able to join for personal reasons

[simple saffron]

at the very best you get blacklisted, at the worst, they'll tell other firms

its just not a winning situation

[narrow patrol]

sheesh do finance comapnies actually do this

the telling other firm part

[abstract wagon]

fukin snitches

[simple saffron]

i'm not saying for certain but i'm saying you're giving them the opportunity to

hence the worst case scenario

[patent sluice]

where's the MonkaS emote

[patent sluice]

very good point

[narrow patrol]

:monkaS:

rip

[pulsar shadow]

rip

[runic tinsel]

when im emailing a recruiter i was in touch with 2 years ago
should i mention "the outcome was not as expected but I'd love to be considered again"
or avoid the outcome part

[thorny gorge]

just say

gib job

[vivid lintel]

nah just reintroduce yourself and say you'd like to be considered again for a position at the company

it's been 2 years, so the outcome part isn't needed

[runic tinsel]

We were previously in touch for opportunities at ____. I thought I'd reach out to you to express my interest in Machine Learning or Data Science internship positions for summer 2021.

^ Is this good

[vivid lintel]

I'd try to be a little more assertive

Hey [recruiter]!

We were previously in touch for opportunities at [company]. I've been developing my skills over the past 2 years and have found a few ML/DS opportunities at [company] that match those skills. [Explain relevant projects you've worked on or internships you've done in the meantime]. I'd love to set up a quick call with you to discuss my candidacy for these roles. I've attached my updated resume for your convenience.

Best,
[your name]

[runic tinsel]

thanks for the feedback!

[vivid lintel]

or rather not assertive, but more confident

yea np

[runic tinsel]

@vivid lintel can I DM you?

[vivid lintel]

Yea sure

[simple saffron]

@vivid lintel you give some of the best advice on this server

bless

[vivid lintel]

thanks ❤️

[ashen needle]

yall think if me and a few friends start a freelancing biz I could count it as experience on my resume

[patent sluice]

sure why not

[simple saffron]

yes but be ready to talk about it

[ashen needle]

true

can i call myself CEO 😎

[simple saffron]

this is totally my own opinion but i don't think you should

[unreal anchor]

freelancing and startups are great ways to get exp early on

but yeah again expect tougher questions

[simple saffron]

giving yourself a c-class title for your own startup looks pretty cringey imo

[hollow hawk]

ya its cringe

i just write founder

[dapper shard]

call yourself a visionary 😎

[loud raft]

10x intern

[low epoch]

what's wrong with 'lead developer'
idk, is founder ok?

[dapper shard]

bruh

idk if they are in the server

but saw someone on linkedin say they had snap, msft, and facebook i think. might have gotten the companies wrong but basically three internships this year

people just be goated asf

[pulsar shadow]

that's a dub

[simple saffron]

bro i saw that too

lol

dude is like yeah im taking the next year off

[flat vine]

talk about set for life

actually someone else on my linkedin feed also got google, lyft, and datadog

all internships for 2021 in diff seasons

[still gazelle]

they dont need to go back to college at that point

[vivid lintel]

I think I might've seen the same person lol

Closed the LinkedIn app right after seeing it

[stiff vessel]

lmao i saw that one too

[dapper shard]

bruh

i just want twitter

so i can stop all of this forever

rng gods shine your light on me 🥺

[pulsar shadow]

why twitter

[pliant hawk]

i want riot for the free rp

[dapper shard]

fairly high TC for new grad and remote option

what pronouns do you use during interviews
it feels weird to say "now we append a string"

[low epoch]

We is fine

[vivid lintel]

I usually say "you can..."

[low epoch]

If youre comfortable that’s what matters

[vivid lintel]

yea as long as it doesn't sound awkward

[merry rain]

does any language work for the Amazon OAs

[merry rain]

or are there certain ones

[haughty torrent]

They told me it’s a different app process

[haughty torrent]

First oa is Java c++ and c only

[merry rain]

Oh gotcha thanks

Wb OA 2?

[haughty torrent]

Second oa allows some more like python

[terse torrent]

wait wtf

no python

D:

im literally going from c++ to python rn lmao

[merry rain]

ok thanks

So for the webcam for the OAs

do I need to talk while coding

or is it just to identify you for the beginning and they aren't actually recording you

[patent sluice]

this one

[bitter geyser]

technical was some multiple choice and a leetcode

Separate 30 min calls

[cyan valley]

@still gazelle Uber closed their application after getting 2000+ in 5 days.

[still gazelle]

how the fuck are we gonna compete lmao

man im sayin just do OAs before resume screening

just like some LC easies

thatll probably get rid of 70% of the applicants

[cyan valley]

For real bro

The thing is getting to the OA itself

[thorny gorge]

you just gotta be super early to the apps now

[merry rain]

ok thanks!

[serene lagoon]

Mf amazon sent the OA's right as i was about to sign an offer elsewhere

[craggy shuttle]

still no amazon oa 🤦‍♂️

[serene lagoon]

I kinda just don't want to do it lmfao, I'm so done with this shit rn

Amazon is being crazy as hell with the OA's, I got mine at the same time as my friend who applied in like August

[dapper shard]

honestly man i would still do it

[raven sequoia]

same.. 🤦‍♂️

[somber saddle]

Uber has been recruiting since at least September. They only posted that linkedin post for the final stretch

[cyan valley]

^yeh Ik

I think I applied to amazon

like

1-2 months ago

Got back to me now

[humble pendant]

just do it - you have literally nothing to lose

[serene lagoon]

Well I have one thing to lose, I would very much like to be done recruiting

But yeah I think it would be foolish to squander the opportunity

[cyan valley]

^

Don't ghost amazon the chance to even take their OA is Slim asf

[serene lagoon]

LOL few things can be better than amazon, though my current offer is one I’m excited about; but yeah I am lucky to have received it so I may as well do it

[dapper shard]

they can't be that slim in getting the OA at least right?

[cyan valley]

U'd be surprised

LMFAO

Straight up off the resumes the recruiters

[dapper shard]

only if they are better than your current offer AND you would still want to work for amazon. personally id reject an amazon offer for what i have right now

[cyan valley]

Take 10 seconds

Trash ur resume

or move it on

And the pile

ain't 50/50

its like

[dapper shard]

i got OA without referral or anything?

[cyan valley]

90/100

So did I but ik my friends who straight up got rejected

[dapper shard]

i figured most people got OA

[cyan valley]

Gpa/college/resume dogshit

[still gazelle]

wdym

[serene lagoon]

I also thought this until I saw this chat

[serene lagoon]

I probably wouldn’t still want to work for Amazon over this offer I have to be honest because I don’t want to just enter the Big N pipeline and then intern, hope for return offer, intern, hope for a return offer, and then new grad LOL

[simple saffron]

what’s your current offer

[dapper shard]

amazon as a company just doesn't interest me lmao. i would rather work in a bank than work at amazon

[cyan valley]

^

Honestly

Fax

Im confused

Do they not give return offers?

[still gazelle]

amazon fuckin works the shit outta u and treats u like trash

[cyan valley]

To most interns?

[dapper shard]

team dependent

amazon 80-85% return offer rate

[serene lagoon]

Nothing I just don’t feel crazy about not using this time to explore what’s out there

[still gazelle]

ive heard bad things. also their RSUs are backloaded

[simple saffron]

i’d rather work at like JP or C1 over amazon

[strange wraith]

[cyan valley]

10k a month???

[strange wraith]

[cyan valley]

[cyan valley]

br u h

[serene lagoon]

What if it’s remote

[strange wraith]

[serene lagoon]

Lmfao

[cyan valley]

LOL

[serene lagoon]

They all crossing their fingers

[cyan valley]

EXTRA

2K

[low epoch]

10k a month would feed all our families wtf

[serene lagoon]

LOL

[strange wraith]

most companies let you keep the housing stipend

if it goes remote

[low epoch]

Amazon lets you keep the house

[strange wraith]

or at least thats been what i've seen

[serene lagoon]

Yeah my current offer did that too

Offering the relocation bonus anyway

[still gazelle]

10k a month to me is an insane amount of money

[cyan valley]

that is insane

LMFAO

That can pay tution for like 4 years at a state school in 1 year

[low epoch]

Goddamn if being a cs major was an rpg you should really invest 80% of your stats into lc

[serene lagoon]

Lmfao

[cyan valley]

LOL

[limber hazel]

I probably will get to pay off my student loans from it

[strange wraith]

nah its all going into TSLA 🚀 🚀

[still gazelle]

like my parents are struggling to pay the bills rn cuz theyre also helping me out with car insurance/tuition/phone bills. i just wanna get an internship to pay them back

[cyan valley]

40% LC
40% Resume
20% Interviewing Skills

[serene lagoon]

That’s so kind of them

[still gazelle]

yeah if they didnt help me out with those, theyd be perfectly fine

they wouldnt be strugglin

so i just wanna take that burden off their hands

[serene lagoon]

My father is doing the same and cried when he heard my offer today because of the money

[still gazelle]

:)))

thats so wholesome man

ur making ur dad proud

[low epoch]

Maybe now i can finally afford to buy a dad

[serene lagoon]

Lol I hope so

[still gazelle]

you definately are man 😄

[strange wraith]

I would do leetcode tagged tweets on twitter

[serene lagoon]

Imagine working at Leetcode

Who the fuck is making these problems

[strange wraith]

most problems are just

questions people get in interviews

[serene lagoon]

Oh those were separate statements

Ik they were crowd sourced but who tf is out there making these problems smh like I can barely solve them and people out there makin them

Same but undergrad

[dapper shard]

ngl ive been frustrated doing binarysearch.io and LC but ive been getting better at it in the few days ive been trying to become acclimated to it

[strange wraith]

it was me

[serene lagoon]

Ahh makes sense

[serene lagoon]

Yeah I got better at it over the time I prepare but still got stumped sometimes

[strange wraith]

@dapper shard lemme know if you ever want a mock interview or something, dm me, im happy to help

[dapper shard]

yeah right now im just getting stuck on matrix problems right now. and then i still need to start learning how to actually implement dp and recursive solutions

[serene lagoon]

I got better at those after taking an algorithms course

[dapper shard]

i would mock interview but i also don't want to sound stupid and look stupid 🥺

[serene lagoon]

DP that is

[strange wraith]

0 judgement here

[serene lagoon]

Why the f does Uber pay interns 44/hr Lyft pay 60

[still gazelle]

lyft is about to be profitable

[strange wraith]

Lyft is newer, smaller and still has level 5

[dapper shard]

i took my algorithm class and i could write out on paper dp and stuff like that but finding the recurrence relation and also following dp recursive implementations is kind of hard for me

[strange wraith]

idk if theyre about to be profitable tho

didnt they not give any interns level 5 this year or something

kinda sus

[dapper shard]

i need more practice on how to ask the correct questions when like communicating with the interviewer and stuff. i realized i actually phrase my questions bad and shit. i think working on LC and doing binarsearch.io i am getting better at answering the questions

[strange wraith]

gotcha gotcha

yeah thats fair

its just a practice game tbh

[dapper shard]

im excited to see where ill be though like 22 days from now

since im actually going through and grinding LC now

[hollow hawk]

project match hasnt started yet, and last year(2020) summer i know people got lvl5

[strange wraith]

i see

interesting

did you guys see the Hyundai/Uber stuff

[serene lagoon]

No

[quaint veldt]

Y’all know if Microsoft has any internships still open

[abstract wagon]

i feel bad for recruiters during quarantine
they answer my emails late at night that i send during the day
they are pressured to work overtime

[narrow patrol]

not sure what the FT difference is but

i would lean towards reddit bc i rly like the product and also it is one of the few companies that has a remote option

and i rly want a remote option

so ymmv lol

[twilit mesa]

i'd pick reddit bc you get to experience a startup-like culture

[loud hollow]

^^^

[abstract wagon]

whichever looks better on resume
unless you know you will like working at one more

[loud hollow]

I feel like you can learn a lot more at reddit

[pulsar shadow]

amazon looks better on resume

boomer be like what's reddit

[twilit mesa]

I think anyone that is on silicon valley knows what reddit is

specially bc its a company in silicon valley

[pulsar shadow]

true

[twilit mesa]

I think its pretty good

[pulsar shadow]

big decision, flip a coin to find out

[twilit mesa]

so you get to learn from FAANG senior engineers
