[tacit halo]

thats why im heading off to usc next year

[abstract wagon]

congrats

[tacit halo]

well, not next year. gonna take a gap year

wanna get there as soon as possible

very desperate to get out of where i am right now

[runic tinsel]

uiuc > ucsd only for cs

both are top 5 cs schoolsd

[simple saffron]

usc?

[abstract wagon]

yes this is csdiscord

[runic tinsel]

ucsd > uiuc for literally everything else

[simple saffron]

isnt usc known more for like business and art

[abstract wagon]

business yea

[thick ridge]

uiuc has bad pr

[tacit halo]

well, im going for connections

[thick ridge]

the rest of the departments arent actually that bad

[simple saffron]

ah i see

[abstract wagon]

uiuc is good for cs thats all that matters to us nerds

[tacit halo]

i dont care about the major that much

[runic tinsel]

but yeah i wonder why uiuc is so good in cs

[simple saffron]

bruh i have never had a single recruiter actually deliver on their deadlines

i fucking hate HR

[tacit halo]

i already know what frat ill join at usc

[abstract wagon]

what happened poggo

[thick ridge]

no different than a school like cmu being good for cs

[simple saffron]

waiting to hear from a company, they told me theyd let me know by early this week

and i kept iterating that I have an exploding offer tomorrow

still havent heard back

[abstract wagon]

well do you

[simple saffron]

yep

[abstract wagon]

@ exploding offer

oh nice

[tacit halo]

can u hear back from citadel without a top 5 cs or ivy, but still top 15 cs?

by contacting recruiters?

[runic tinsel]

i mean yeah but im kinda surprised it's such a feeder for quant/hft

[thick ridge]

its cuz its in illinois

[simple saffron]

i gotta stop being honest and say my deadlines are like a week earlier than they actually are

[thick ridge]

and a lot of them are in chicago

[simple saffron]

recruiters are so unreliable

[tacit halo]

i found one person on linkedin who got into citadel from my school

[random surge]

@tacit halo I got an offer at Citadel, top15 cs

[tacit halo]

actually two

[thick ridge]

we have a jump trading branch in champaign which is mostly just uiuc students

[patent sluice]

you might as well just go for it

[tacit halo]

yes!!!!!!!!!!

[patent sluice]

if you have a strong resume

[tacit halo]

i agree 57093p6532093p596q2905069429055%

[simple saffron]

chicago has a bunch of trading firms

[abstract wagon]

@simple saffron good luck poggo

[simple saffron]

thanks boo

[tacit halo]

recruiters are the bane of everyones existence

[runic tinsel]

@tacit halo ucsd is top 5 lmao should be fine

[tacit halo]

no it isnt

top 16

[abstract wagon]

i clearly did not think my username through

[tacit halo]

top 5 is harvard, stanford, mit, princeton, yale

[runic tinsel]

but yeah i thought for citadel if you're not hypsm or berkeley/cmu/other ivies you wont get considered

[tacit halo]

actually top 37

[runic tinsel]

bruh what

yale sucks for cs

[simple saffron]

honey boo 😙

[tacit halo]

hypsm is top 5

[thick ridge]

p sure top 5 is stfrd/mit/cal/cmu ////////// uiuc

[runic tinsel]

not for cs

[tacit halo]

yale is hypsm

[restive falcon]

best school for cs???

[thick ridge]

but doesn't rlly matter fuck the rankings

[abstract wagon]

what is ucf

[tacit halo]

rankings literally dont mean a thing

[random surge]

lmao

[abstract wagon]

is that like the online scam school

[tacit halo]

its not the school that defines you

[abstract wagon]

or real thing

[simple saffron]

ucf is so fucking big lmfao

[runic tinsel]

http://csrankings.org/#/index?all&us

[restive falcon]

the admins go to ucf 🥺

[tacit halo]

plenty of people get into quant firms with non targets

rankings are arbitrary and debatable

[runic tinsel]

UCSD is #5 here and this ranking is by far the most reliable one

[abstract wagon]

then why even ask the question

[thick ridge]

are u looking at

csrankings

cuz if so its not rlly the right metric

[patent sluice]

whats the right metric

the right metric is the one that puts my school higher

[abstract wagon]

metric system

[thick ridge]

that's by publication output

[simple saffron]

damn CMU is number 1

i would hate to go there tho

sounds miserable

[tacit halo]

this is purely based off of research output

[abstract wagon]

cmu cs is fucking op

[thick ridge]

so it's not rlly indicative of a cs studen'ts education

[random surge]

I don’t think those rankings are accurate

[simple saffron]

berkeley >>>

[abstract wagon]

cap

[tacit halo]

is based on the nnumber of publications per professor

[abstract wagon]

berkeley is overrated

[feral shoal]

Ok but usually recruiters don’t know who is top CS school but they know the overall school rep. They usually go by that

[tacit halo]

yeah

[simple saffron]

berkeley social life is much better

[abstract wagon]

i dont want friends, i just wanna make Ms

[tacit halo]

recruiters are fucking ridiculous

[feral shoal]

Plus USC is a feeder for CS because of overall rep.

[tacit halo]

we put all this effort just to get past these fuckers

its so arbitrary

[stiff vessel]

there are plenty of non target school people at citadel

[abstract wagon]

its not arbitrary

i hear back a lot

its just an oversaturated market

[simple saffron]

where do you go boo

berkeley?

[abstract wagon]

theres probably tons of people more qualified than u

uwash

[tacit halo]

the exact same resume could receive two different outcomes

[runic tinsel]

what other metric are you gonna use though? it's pointless using industry outcomes because recruiters only flock to the top schools

[abstract wagon]

not often

[simple saffron]

oh nice

[thick ridge]

seattle or stlouis?

[tacit halo]

one recruiter might pass u over and one might move u forward

[simple saffron]

fuck I wish I went to a target school

[abstract wagon]

seattle

[tacit halo]

faang is rng

very rng

quant might be more predictable

there really isnt much of a pattern in who hears back from facebook

[abstract wagon]

ive heard back on at least 40% of my apps

[simple saffron]

do you have prev experience

[abstract wagon]

maybe faang isnt that predictable but most companies r

im previous big n

[thick ridge]

quant is pretty meritocratic

u just have to be good

[simple saffron]

shit son

[feral shoal]

@tacit halo come to SC. It’s the move

[tacit halo]

and that is the purpose of the oa and interview

[abstract wagon]

i am also a competitive manga reader

[simple saffron]

lmfao

[abstract wagon]

quite impressive

[simple saffron]

big booster

[tacit halo]

mathematical ability >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> some random recruiters impression of ur school

[restive falcon]

👀

[abstract wagon]

i got into usc, didnt think they were good for cs

[tacit halo]

usc has the best connections out there

[feral shoal]

They give good aid though

[thick ridge]

wish i went to usc

[abstract wagon]

usc fucked me on aid

[tacit halo]

it cost me more to get in than the tuition will be

[abstract wagon]

maybe because im middle class

[tacit halo]

were gonna pay 72k a year

[feral shoal]

Did you appeal I’m upper middle

[restive falcon]

isnt it called university of spoiled children cuz a lot of students are from rich families

[tacit halo]

not a huge deal

[feral shoal]

I always appeal

[abstract wagon]

fuck

[tacit halo]

my fathers colleagues kids go there

[abstract wagon]

i didnt try

[tacit halo]

and i'll join the same frat as them

[stiff vessel]

usc throws some bangers

[abstract wagon]

parties r crazy yea

[tacit halo]

im already part of the frat

[feral shoal]

Lmaooo

[stiff vessel]

not as great as Michigan tho

[tacit halo]

even tho i wont be on campus for a while

[thick ridge]

bro

[tacit halo]

my first frat

[thick ridge]

LA parties gotta be world class

[abstract wagon]

yeah? pretty sure usc hazes more so idk

[stiff vessel]

LA is overrated in general

[tacit halo]

dont all usc kids have ceo and celebrity parents

[stiff vessel]

their hazing is light

[tacit halo]

the connections are amazing

[stiff vessel]

which is a good thing

[abstract wagon]

@tacit halo did you get in yet or is this hypothetical

[tacit halo]

ive been unofficially admitted

[thick ridge]

??

[tacit halo]

my parents have been in talks with the admissions office

[thick ridge]

donated a building?

[abstract wagon]

bruh lol

[tacit halo]

no not that much

[abstract wagon]

shits rigged fr

[pliant hawk]

Isn’t that like a scandal

[abstract wagon]

report

[restive falcon]

🤔

[tacit halo]

it was considerably less than the cost of the building

[abstract wagon]

/report

[thick ridge]

wait pause

[tacit halo]

donating a building isn't illegal

[pliant hawk]

Like the one celeb that did that lmao

[barren night]

i wish i was legacy somewhere good :/

[thick ridge]

don't be telling ppl this

[tacit halo]

donations help fund financial aid

[thick ridge]

gonna turn out like olivia jade

[abstract wagon]

yo im telling

[pliant hawk]

Man said unofficially lmfao

[tacit halo]

without donations there wouldnt be financial aid

so its a good thing

[cobalt raven]

stop feeling the troll bro this can't be real LMFAO

[abstract wagon]

yeah high doubts but idk

[cobalt raven]

👋 hiru

[pliant hawk]

Nah aid comes from the money printer come in now

[abstract wagon]

all kinds of people out there

[feral shoal]

Ok there are a lot of rich kids but it’s overstated

[stiff vessel]

hi manga fan

[tacit halo]

financial aid is costly

[feral shoal]

50 percent of students are in aid

[tacit halo]

they need donations to fund aid

[pliant hawk]

We love free tuition

[tacit halo]

bribing the coach is a different story

thats illegal

a sincere donation isnt

[feral shoal]

No USC is better than UMich sorry

[tacit halo]

usc is free if ur family makes less than 80k

[stiff vessel]

nah bro mich > usc

[thick ridge]

nothing beats the b10

nebraska > usc

[abstract wagon]

none of us go to MIT so actually we're all retarded

[feral shoal]

We are a straight feeder

[abstract wagon]

just putting it out there

[tacit halo]

you cannot buy your way into mit

no donation will help there

instead, you might get a polite rejection call from the dean

[abstract wagon]

but u can buy your way into usc

[thick ridge]

bro why don't u just apply for transfer

[tacit halo]

it's more meritocratic

[feral shoal]

But just realize why all the rich want to buy their way in

[abstract wagon]

as i learned today

[pliant hawk]

Are you transferring into usc? Or like highschool to usc?

[stiff vessel]

who cares if ur a feeder ur 4th in the pac12

I sleep

[tacit halo]

applied already

[cyan valley]

What is usc

[tacit halo]

but we networked with the admissions office

theres a special pipeline

[thick ridge]

s u s

[cyan valley]

South California?

[abstract wagon]

s u s

[stiff vessel]

university of southern carolina

[tacit halo]

its not illegal at all

[cyan valley]

Got u

[tacit halo]

illegal is bribing the coach

no bribes given

[thick ridge]

sounds like something someone breaking the law would say

[barren night]

system is rigged lmao

[cyan valley]

UMich prob >

[thick ridge]

🤔

[odd kraken]

🥴

[abstract wagon]

people who got in without donating emote me RIGHT NOW

[tacit halo]

it's just so the recognize our name

i personally called them to say i'm applying

[odd kraken]

is this the real affirmative action

[tacit halo]

and pitched myself

[pliant hawk]

I didn’t know you could donate

[feral shoal]

So so many connections. I lowkey have gotten opportunities and met powerful people because of USC

[tacit halo]

i also have like 7 usc legacies

[cyan valley]

I can't tell if ur trolling or not

lol

[pliant hawk]

Wtf are legacies

[cyan valley]

Family members

who have went there

[scenic ibex]

@tacit halo you're a terrible person if you are using donations to get it

[tacit halo]

i have two uncles that went there

[tacit halo]

why?

[scenic ibex]

usc deserves a better student

[abstract wagon]

shit bro

[tacit halo]

how does that make one a terrible person?

[cyan valley]

What I got from this conversation is you aren't good enough to get in so you bought your way in

[scenic ibex]

the rich get richer

[cyan valley]

I can't tell if ur trolling

[terse torrent]

nepotism

[tacit halo]

donations subsidize financial aid?

[terse torrent]

but for school

:/

[pliant hawk]

You get special access dawg

Congrats

[tacit halo]

it's a perfectly normal thing

[scenic ibex]

LOLLLL usc has enough financial aid

[cyan valley]

🤡 Life

[abstract wagon]

usc deserves a better student

[scenic ibex]

what ever helps you sleep at night 🤡

[tacit halo]

thats not what they say

they'll happily accept a donation

[scenic ibex]

also ive been reading through your messages

[muted leaf]

#random

[scenic ibex]

and bruh why do u always act like you're an authority on shit

[feral shoal]

Every school will happily accept a donation

[tacit halo]

but to guarantee your way in, you need to donate at least $10m

[abstract wagon]

they should take a donation without admitting you

[scenic ibex]

when clearly you don't have that much experience

[tacit halo]

guys, i have a decent gpa

[terse torrent]

lol

[tacit halo]

i have a 3.56 gpa

[pliant hawk]

10 mill

[tacit halo]

[tacit halo]

any grade above 60 is a good grade

[pliant hawk]

3.7 > 3.56 ? Someone back me up

[feral shoal]

I would not recommend trying to transfer directly into Viterbi

[cyan valley]

Na bro 3.5 >>>> 3.7

[tacit halo]

it's not significantly below

[tacit halo]

marshall

probably gonna do business

[abstract wagon]

[pliant hawk]

For transferring tho every point counts

[tacit halo]

[muted leaf]

[tacit halo]

gpa really isn't what matters

[cyan valley]

@abstract wagon levels.fyi

[abstract wagon]

i actually know people who got into viterbi with 4.0s from good schools

[tacit halo]

Pog

[terse torrent]

this conversation doesnt have anything to do w summer2021

[tacit halo]

over 300 people asked me how to cold email startups

[scenic ibex]

ok why do we need a separate channel for him?

[muted leaf]

has anyone had technical interview where they had to design an interface

[terse torrent]

bcuz it floods this

[scenic ibex]

he needs to stop polluting every conversation

[cyan valley]

@thick shore can u take care of this 🤡 thanks

[simple saffron]

Yeah I had one

[tacit halo]

#random then

[thick ridge]

like ood?

[tacit halo]

ill go to random

[stiff vessel]

Wdym by interface

[muted leaf]

ood??

[patent sluice]

yeah just move it to random

[thick ridge]

object oriented design

[patent sluice]

its ok

[muted leaf]

like. interface

[cyan valley]

UI? or what

[thick ridge]

oh like a UI?

[abstract wagon]

wait real question. is uber atg still a thing or no

[muted leaf]

yea ood

[twin obsidian]

object oriented design interface or you mean UI?

[muted leaf]

ood

[stiff vessel]

like a literal interface class?

[thick ridge]

yeah I had an OOD interview on monday

[tacit halo]

it was acquired by aurora

[hidden juniper]

alex im glad you made your profile picture kanye. its very fitting. i think u r an artist

[stiff vessel]

Er not class

[muted leaf]

I just never had one and was bumped

[tacit halo]

they sent out emails that say they're not recruiting for atg

[abstract wagon]

i know it was acquired by aurora but can i still join them

[tacit halo]

because they sold to aurora

[tacit halo]

you would need to go through the aurora pipeline

[abstract wagon]

like if i join aurora are they still their own team

[tacit halo]

i don't see any internships posted there

[abstract wagon]

pretty simple question

[simple saffron]

@hidden juniper wait ur a god

[tacit halo]

but what might work would be to email an engineer at aurora

[hidden juniper]

huh

[tacit halo]

no, email at least 10

[simple saffron]

ive used your renege template twice ty you absolute chad

[muted leaf]

how do you even approach interface design questions

[tacit halo]

and say you're interested in internships

[feral shoal]

Yes our alumni is like a cult. We hire our own. Have you ever heard of UCLA alumni? No, but people hear of Trojan family. Ask anyone in LA lol @stiff vessel

[cyan valley]

@simple saffron send me it pols ty

[hidden juniper]

[pliant hawk]

[tacit halo]

applying online very rarely works

[cyan valley]

Whose mans is this

its hard not to renege when you have an exploding offer from every company

so fucking annoying

[silk ridge]

[feral shoal]

[abstract wagon]

Hi Recruiter,

My name is Alex, and I'm a CS student at [school]. I applied to [role name] back in [date] and I haven't heard back yet. I found your profile on LinkedIn and I figured you could be of help. I’m currently interviewing at at [...] and have an offer to work at [small hedge fund I’m interning at] and I would love to have an opportunity to be considered for the position at [company] as the recruiting season is coming to an end soon. Attached is my resume for your consideration!

I look forward to hearing from you soon,

Alex

[simple jay]

[abstract wagon]

yeah i got blind wallpaper

[simple saffron]

blind is just borderline racist and ignorant lmfao

[cyan valley]

loooooooool

[pliant hawk]

is it true like 50% of blind users are toxic indians

[muted leaf]

idk i did it cuz they said it works like a charm

[abstract wagon]

i fucking love blind

its where we are at our most aggressive

[muted leaf]

bezo + simp in your name = offer

[simple saffron]

its entertaining but the most awful ppl

[cyan valley]

more like

leetcode grind

kEK

= offer

[low epoch]

according to reddit yes
and i think it's better to say uhhh toxic users who happen to be indian

[tacit halo]

blind is helpful for objective information.

[abstract wagon]

i got a lot of good advice from blind im ngl

[flat vine]

this server is actually so tame and if u cant handle it then ....

[tacit halo]

it's the best way to get salary data

especially at the tails

but levels.fyi is better for averages

[pliant hawk]

i use this discord for intern salaary data

[tacit halo]

for salary data, use levels.fyi

[simple saffron]

damn imagine gatekeeping stress thresholds lmfao

[muted leaf]

^

[low epoch]

the process tracking has to be a goat feature

[muted leaf]

this discord salary chat is quiet nice

[tacit halo]

i need at least 30 samples to make a judgement

[patent sluice]

this server is nice for the most part

[hidden falcon]

oof

[patent sluice]

hope it doesn't get toxic

[abstract wagon]

this server gives me more anxiety than blind does

[simple saffron]

^

[thick ridge]

I feel like we always devolve into salary talks

[bitter lark]

Agreed.

TC: 450k

[tacit halo]

i need at least 30 datapoints

[restive falcon]

feel free to DM me/the admins anytime for suggestions on making this server less toxic

[tacit halo]

levels.fyi usually has a lot

[pliant hawk]

im jus tryna make a living lmao

[patent sluice]

Hey guys chipotle vs qdoba
TC: 200k

[abstract wagon]

Thank you @bitter lark

TC: 350k

[tacit halo]

i feel like this server is 98% good

[hidden falcon]

@restive falcon i think u guys should make a channel for explaining how to switch out of cs

[silk ridge]

imagine if we all had our TC as our name

[tacit halo]

its that 2% thats what really isn't

[low epoch]

top topics

• faang
• amazon OA3
• gpa matters
• gpa does not matter
• gpa killed my parents

[tacit halo]

ive met hundreds of great collaborators here

[flat vine]

bring back reacts in salary channel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pliant hawk]

at the end of the day its all relative

[bitter lark]

Your TC is lower than me. Therefore, your opinion is invalid

TC: 950K

[hidden falcon]

psh

[restive falcon]

sorry the sadge reacts were too toxic

[hidden falcon]

mans isnt even 7 figures yet

[edgy dagger]

That's a bad idea

TC: 0

[hidden falcon]

get the fuck out

u poor piece of shit

[pliant hawk]

[unreal anchor]

Any career group centered around really competitive jobs will always be toxic to some level.

[hidden falcon]

@bitter lark

[pliant hawk]

thats so fucked

[patent sluice]

Hey guys does anyone know what type of questions Amazon asks on OA1? I've been searching through the internet for five days but haven't found anything.

[bitter lark]

Sorry Neja. I'll open up my OnlyFans to increase my TC now.

[hidden falcon]

@bitter lark TC 1.9million + $30 from me 😉

[tacit halo]

[tacit halo]

[flat vine]

[tacit halo]

[patent sluice]

Daddy needs his kitten

[tacit halo]

[flat vine]

[abstract wagon]

does anyone know if braintree does internships

[tacit halo]

its good to have this information in one place

[stone tiger]

@abstract wagon i think its apart of paypal

[tacit halo]

[restive falcon]

[hidden falcon]

yes good call bread

[abstract wagon]

@stone tiger so only way i can get in is paypal?

[unreal anchor]

@hidden falcon

[tacit halo]

i don't think braintree has any current listings

[flat vine]

take the degeneracy to #random thanks

[tacit halo]

paypal opened up very recently

[abstract wagon]

im asking a real question guys cmon 😦

[hidden falcon]

[patent sluice]

The only other place people post their stats are bodybuilding forums. Idk why people are way nicer there than blind.
Bench: 245
Squat: 320
DL: 350

[bitter lark]

What are you guys doing for Summer 2021? I'm gonna go pro in FORTNITE

[hidden falcon]

can i get some advice on how to apply to startups

[pliant hawk]

for a summer internship, if i ask to change to fall would the company jus reject me or would i get the chance to stick with original start date

[tacit halo]

no, not at all!

@hidden falcon i have a few interviews coming up

[restive falcon]

if they reject you for just asking to change start date

thats messed up

[tacit halo]

i think a few companies are closed

[pliant hawk]

okay, got it ty

[tacit halo]

but the majority are still open

[restive falcon]

poor reflection on company

[low epoch]

post what ur email will look like so we can review bibbzz

[tacit halo]

mainly, a few trading firms and some unicorns are closed

[hidden falcon]

@tacit halo i thoguht u had an internship offer already?

[tacit halo]

from startups

which are longer term

[pliant hawk]

i havent even wrote anything yet but will do soon

[tacit halo]

i do startups year round

some weeks, it's only 2 hours a week

[abstract wagon]

@stone tiger do u know cus i saw someone else post about an interview, maybe they got matches through paypal though

[tacit halo]

other weeks its over 50

like confluent

[cobalt raven]

[tacit halo]

[unreal anchor]

Neja sus

[pliant hawk]

now wait

[cobalt raven]

[abstract wagon]

@stone tiger ah gotcha, thank you man

[bitter lark]

:weebsout:

[pliant hawk]

[low epoch]

[hidden falcon]

[tacit halo]

and i spoke to robinhood and found they still have an android position i'm trying to get

robinhood is trying to fill an android internship

[hidden falcon]

u spoke to robinhood?

[pliant hawk]

server be like

[tacit halo]

no ios or webdev or backend

[hidden falcon]

mans opened his phone

opened the app

and spoke

to robinhood

[thick ridge]

call customer service

[tacit halo]

reached out to a recruiter who went to my school

and asked a few questions about the role

[simple jay]

[restive falcon]

Bench: 245
Squat: 135
DL: 350

[tacit halo]

seriously

[north kestrel]

jus b urslef

[tacit halo]

it somewhat worked for me

[unreal anchor]

How do you squat 135 but DL 350 lol

[simple jay]

[pliant hawk]

praying helps

[tardy minnow]

That was me before I started squatting lol

[patent sluice]

I don't want my frat bros to think I'm a chick and bang me brother

[tacit halo]

i cold emailed about 250 recruiters in the past 5 days and was ghosted by roughly 75% of them

[patent sluice]

I avoid squats at all cost

[tacit halo]

but i think its a good strategy

cold emailing recruiters significantly increases your chances of getting an interview

it's far from a sure thing

but i think it's a useful strategy

[unreal anchor]

Why

[scenic ibex]

do you have swe offers

alex?

[abstract wagon]

what the fuc

[tacit halo]

not from any big n's (yet!)

[pliant hawk]

o god

[tacit halo]

but flexible things from startups

i have 16 interviews for non-startups coming up

some unicorns

still emailing faang

[scenic ibex]

do you do leetcode alex?

[hidden falcon]

i am a swe (sexy water escort)

[tacit halo]

i've done 61 leetcode problems so far

[hidden falcon]

thats actually big if true from the summer

[tacit halo]

what?

[abstract wagon]

i am a swe (sock with edibles)

[hidden falcon]

im saying good work if that is true

[tacit halo]

thanks

[hidden falcon]

[silk ridge]

no wonder most internships are during the summer

[hidden falcon]

[simple jay]

[patent sluice]

i remember when i asked a jp recruiter about their swe position and man said wtf is a "sweeh"

[hidden falcon]

bro mans has 128gb ram

[tacit halo]

and i constantly restart my computer

[unreal anchor]

I feel like we aren’t supposed to be in this convo but here we are

[tacit halo]

and reopen tabs

[low epoch]

how good looking are you

[scenic ibex]

@hidden falcon you're going to get kidnapped soon

[abstract wagon]

im good looking and i get 0 views help

[hidden falcon]

nah is ok alex is just alex

it be like that

he has good intentions

[tacit halo]

neja knows me

well

[patent sluice]

yeah alex is a good dude

[tacit halo]

he helped me personally and profesionally

but its good to have you back

[hidden falcon]

ya alex and i go way back

[tacit halo]

i could see myself working with neja many years into the future

[hidden falcon]

oh

[tacit halo]

especially more on the business side

[abstract wagon]

ur funny man

haha

[tacit halo]

like i know you wanted to be a senator i think you said at one point

i'll definitely dive into politics further into the future

[low epoch]

NEJA 2020

wait it's a new year damn

[abstract wagon]

boo 2021

[tacit halo]

i decided to run for mayor in 2022

no intention of winning

[patent sluice]

i would live in alexville

[tacit halo]

but mainly to spread awareness on certain issues

[abstract wagon]

ok but actually can we keep this to internship stuff

its nice to have small talk sometimes but i just want to know about people's processes

[tacit halo]

mainly trying to challenge the status quo

i got this weird email a few hours ago

cant tell if this is an interview invitation

[quiet musk]

i dont think so

[real nacelle]

Its legit just saying their hiring process starts up soon again

[patent sluice]

its not but its a good sign

[real nacelle]

its a quick survey

[tacit halo]

it includes a recruiter name

[real nacelle]

Yes we all got same email

[abstract wagon]

it doesnt say they want to interview you so

i think it's safe to assume it isn't

[tacit halo]

it just asked if im still interested in the role

i fell like it implies something

[abstract wagon]

my invitation mentioned a hirevue so if you get that one its an interview

[tacit halo]

when was it?

before or after the holidays?

[abstract wagon]

before

[tacit halo]

okay, then it was different

since many companies have two big recruiting periods

fall and winter

[abstract wagon]

? ok but an interview invitation is an interview invitation

[tacit halo]

so september to early december

and january to late march

[abstract wagon]

this was your question

it is not an interview invitation

[tacit halo]

is this sent to everyone?

like do companies do this to see who's actually interested?

[real nacelle]

yes the survey is just asking if you have any deadlines coming up

[inland bloom]

yes i filled it out and they sent interview scheduling thing a few days later

[tacit halo]

when did you get it?

[inland bloom]

the interest form ?

[tacit halo]

yes

but does it mean a human saw your application?

[inland bloom]

i got it like last month lol

yeah im assuming so

[hushed citrus]

Anyone get an interview from Twitter>

?

[tacit halo]

they just sent an email saying they'll email us within 7 days

[pliant hawk]

incoming rejections

[abstract wagon]

u and me both brutha

[pliant hawk]

at least i can suffer with others

[still gazelle]

the worst feeling is when u go OUT OF YOUR WAY to apply to a job with a required cover letter

and they reject u

[abstract wagon]

twitter had required ?

[still gazelle]

no

just talking generally

[abstract wagon]

just send a template cover letter
