[humble sparrow]

it's alright

[sonic badger]

went on a few roller coaster rides i guess

that was fuckin fun

ngl

[still gazelle]

bro what

[ionic bronze]

I wanna try ket

[nova inlet]

I literally have no idea how any of this works but my gut tells me that people will react to this stuff differently - just how they do with alcohol etc - so I wouldn't run around suggesting it

[ionic bronze]

nowhere to buy tho

[still gazelle]

ur balls are so fuckin huge

[eager valve]

24 hours felt like 3 days wtf

[simple saffron]

dark web

[sonic badger]

not really

[humble sparrow]

if ur gonna do it just do a little bit the first time

[sonic badger]

theyre like

[eager valve]

need results now

[sonic badger]

avg

[humble sparrow]

and then wait

[tacit halo]

Ketamine has done some really fucked up stuff

[humble sparrow]

cuz ppl always not feel it at first

[still gazelle]

ur metaphorical balls

[humble sparrow]

and then do more

[tacit halo]

Do it in moderation

[humble sparrow]

and then go off the deep end

[simple saffron]

pics or bs

[nova inlet]

@still gazelle proverbial*

[ionic bronze]

👁️

[sonic badger]

ngl

that shit used to be so cheap

[still gazelle]

shut up english major 🥱

[tacit halo]

Psilocybin is pretty safe

[sonic badger]

like 15$ a vial

[nova inlet]

[sonic badger]

now its like

45

[simple saffron]

shrooms are fucking terrifying but i never regret taking them

[still gazelle]

the demand has gone up

[humble sparrow]

psilocybin is much safer than ketamine lol

[sonic badger]

ngl

[still gazelle]

shrooms have opened my eyes

[sonic badger]

shrooms suck

holy shit

i hate shrooms so much

[simple saffron]

what why

[still gazelle]

why are SWEs such hipsters

[tardy minnow]

fr its like a learning experience

[still gazelle]

bro shrooms are fire

[sonic badger]

last time i took em, i blacked out and woke up naked sleeping on my living room floor

[simple saffron]

shrooms actually helped change my life

[sonic badger]

ngl

[nova inlet]

@still gazelle is it cause they're in the valley that they're hipsters or is the valley all hipster because of the SWE 🤔

[sonic badger]

[ionic bronze]

y'all are all druggies

[simple saffron]

sounds like youre taking the wrong shrooms

[ionic bronze]

noice

[sonic badger]

ye

idk

probly

that was a long time ago tho

i dont do drugs anymore

im a boomer

[simple saffron]

acid is cool too, not as good but more accessible

[lone orbit]

Why lol

[tacit halo]

Wanna know what’s the most dangerous thing? Alcohol

[simple saffron]

^

[humble sparrow]

I was going to go with meth but sure

[ionic bronze]

lolw

[edgy dagger]

Fentynal

[lone orbit]

You sure

[nova inlet]

is it most dangerous because of how accessible it is?

[simple saffron]

he prob means most dangerous to most people

[tacit halo]

It’s no joke. I had family members die from alcohol addiction. It was before I was born but it still haunts me

[nova inlet]

like in terms of mortality I highly doubt it - so idk what dangerous means in this case

o

[tacit halo]

It’s very easy to overdose

[simple saffron]

the average joe's not gonna snort some meth on a regular basis

[sonic badger]

wut

[tacit halo]

And get addicted

[fleet cairn]

yea getting iced by your roommate is more dangerous than shooting up in an alley

[sonic badger]

maybe get addicted

[humble sparrow]

you don't snort meth lol

[tacit halo]

It’s way too accessible

[humble sparrow]

well I guess you could

[sonic badger]

its not really easy to overdose

on alcohol

[humble sparrow]

people usually smoke

[sonic badger]

if u mean die

wtf

i mean

[humble sparrow]

with a pookie

[simple saffron]

shows what I know about meth

[sonic badger]

definitely not in comparison to other things

like fuckin h

[simple saffron]

oh right one of those crackpipes

[lone orbit]

Bruh you talking about someone like the guy who chugs whole absinthe

[tacit halo]

Smoking is also pretty bad too

[humble sparrow]

idk go to any west coast city it's a staple of the homeless community

[tacit halo]

Possibly worse

[sonic badger]

ngl

[tacit halo]

Alcohol is literally poison

It’s toxic to ur liver

[humble sparrow]

oh meth is terrible lol it's like adderall but way stronger

so you stay up 30 hours in a row

and start seeing the shadow people

aka you think the shadows are coming to life and trying to kill you

[abstract wagon]

shadow realm

[simple saffron]

i just wanna do dmt bro

[humble sparrow]

dmt is overrated

[tacit halo]

Adderall is probably more dangerous than shrooms

[humble sparrow]

last really short

[abstract wagon]

dont you like

go to another universe though

[simple saffron]

anything is more dangerous than shrooms

[terse torrent]

:thonk

[humble sparrow]

if you do it right yeah

but it's like inhaling rubber

[simple saffron]

i do take adderall regularly tho and I'm not addicted

[humble sparrow]

it tastes awful

[tacit halo]

The trip could be quite insightful to many.

[terse torrent]

y

[tacit halo]

Psychedelics does weird shit

[lone orbit]

Bruh shoot up a joint and chill

[abstract wagon]

i wouldnt know, im a good kid

[tacit halo]

But they’ve saved lives

[simple saffron]

adhd

[lone orbit]

Why you gotta do meth

[terse torrent]

oh

[nova inlet]

liver is in charge of all chemical stuff - so even for food, so idk if alcohol is any different, does it ruin the liver faster than other drugs*?

[humble sparrow]

and if you get stuck in a bad realm on your dmt trip that's fucked

[terse torrent]

some ppl did that at my friends hs

[humble sparrow]

know multiple ppl who thought they went to hell

and got stuck there

[terse torrent]

for better grades or smt

[humble sparrow]

for what they thought was a lifetime

[abstract wagon]

yo lmfao

yeah that sucks

[tacit halo]

Alcohol causes destruction of liver cells

[simple saffron]

thats sick lol

i had that experience on LSD

it was life changing

[tacit halo]

I mean. U kind of need supervision when doing drugs

[simple saffron]

i stared at my wall for a literal eternity and thought I died

[tacit halo]

Finding the right dose is important

[humble sparrow]

set and setting for psychedelics yeah

[nova inlet]

I think that happens with drugs as well - it's true that it does, but I don't think it should be stated as being any different, unless it is

[tacit halo]

Two different doses of the same compound can have very different affects

[humble sparrow]

am not done drugs in a while but i preferred stuff that doesn't affect your perception of reality

[simple saffron]

i think the danger is that alc is just so widely accepted

[humble sparrow]

like molly

mda is cool sally it's like molly but more visual

[nova inlet]

right right

[simple saffron]

molly is great

nitrous is also good

[tacit halo]

Plenty of drugs hurt the liver as well

[humble sparrow]

whippits? LOL

[tacit halo]

I’d say some psychedelics are actually safer

[simple saffron]

yessir

[tacit halo]

To the liver

[thick ridge]

ah that time of day when this chat starts talking about drugs

[abstract wagon]

#druggies

[nova inlet]

Is it because you can't have as many psychedelics as you can alcohol you reckon? @tacit halo

[humble sparrow]

ah at every party back in hs there was always someone's uncle in the corner selling nitrous balloons

[tacit halo]

I’d say so

[humble sparrow]

kinda fucked when you look back at it

[nova inlet]

aye yeah that makes sense

[simple saffron]

lmao jon are you from the UK

[tacit halo]

The old stuff is actually more dangerous

[simple saffron]

it sounds like it from the drugs you've experienced

[humble sparrow]

LA

[nova inlet]

had that as well in china

[tacit halo]

Like balloons

[simple saffron]

ah

[humble sparrow]

prob coke is the most common here

after like weed

but if you go to like east la

there's whippits at like every party

[nova inlet]

I heard LA weather is great, you like it @humble sparrow ?

[thick ridge]

coke is way too common lol

[tacit halo]

Ppl were dying from coke in the 1900s

[thick ridge]

it shouldn't be so popular

[simple saffron]

why tf ppl doin coke

just drink coffee

[nova inlet]

just exercise

[humble sparrow]

weather is nice here well it's raining now but first time raining this year

[tacit halo]

I drink tea

[abstract wagon]

for the tab

[humble sparrow]

coke itself

is fine but it gets cut

like acetone + blender

[thick ridge]

ew

[simple saffron]

wtf

[humble sparrow]

and then they mix in salt or meth or what's that

inositol

they sell it at gnc

[simple saffron]

fent

[nova inlet]

ya'll are chemists damn

[humble sparrow]

it's b vitamins

[simple saffron]

i watched this video of some guy doing xenon in a warehouse

looked lit

[abstract wagon]

anyone doing lc contest rn

[simple saffron]

fax

[nova inlet]

@abstract wagon I just started leetcode like a month ago - reckon I can even do a question?

[simple jay]

nothing wrong with a little coke

[abstract wagon]

u can probably do the first one

[nova inlet]

aye I'll try it

[tacit halo]

I’ve seen meth used in the hospital

During surgery

[thick ridge]

doesnt William lin do all 4 in 10 mins

[tacit halo]

It’s literally the worst

[simple jay]

are they just random lc questions

[simple saffron]

william lin is a literal robot

[abstract wagon]

its usually easy 2 meds hard

[thick ridge]

yall are some casuals

William lin or bust

[simple saffron]

his TC will

[abstract wagon]

i finished but took me a while

[thick ridge]

bro def gets the baddies

[abstract wagon]

think my ranking is getting shot down

[tacit halo]

Where will be be 10 years after graduating?

[tacit halo]

What tc is that?

[abstract wagon]

the next scale ai

thats william lin

[thick ridge]

fax

[tacit halo]

He’ll be a swe somewhere

Making a comfortable amount

But not rich

What will his tc be? 400k

[thick ridge]

he's Quant no question if he doesnt create the next scale ai

[abstract wagon]

when i look the tv and they say "20 y/o ceo" imma say told u so

[tacit halo]

23 year old

[thick ridge]

mans does usamo or some shit too

[tacit halo]

Still have time

What do usamo qualifiers make?

600k?

[thick ridge]

what

[tacit halo]

10 years after graduating

[thick ridge]

usamo is hs math tourney

[abstract wagon]

not everythings about money dude

[thick ridge]

but basically he's well rounded I'm saying

[abstract wagon]

i have more respect for imo kids than warren buffet

[tacit halo]

I’ve read through this thread and I feel that most of u guys wouldn’t be satisfied with 500k

[tacit halo]

Why?

[humble sparrow]

yea i think he'll probably be doing well. doesn't strike me as a founder because that's a different skillset

[thick ridge]

yeah bro I got like a 5 on the aime and called it quits

[tacit halo]

He’s the most legendary investor of all time

[humble sparrow]

but you don't have to these days

[tacit halo]

100%

[abstract wagon]

bruh this is just u

[tacit halo]

Being a founder isn’t really correlated with mathematical intelligence

[abstract wagon]

idk where u getting this from

[dapper shard]

this chat is degenerate

[tacit halo]

“100k is garbage”

[abstract wagon]

ur the one talking about 3mil houses in cali

[humble sparrow]

drugs and tc

[tacit halo]

I’ve seen this type of thing thrown around so many times

[abstract wagon]

100k and 500k are very different

[tacit halo]

To me they’re the same

[abstract wagon]

100k in nyc or sf is doomed

ok thats just u then

[humble sparrow]

100k in nyc or sf isn't doomed

[tacit halo]

100k and 1m aren’t that different

[humble sparrow]

i mean ur not gonna buy a house

[tacit halo]

1m and 10m are very different

[humble sparrow]

and u probably live w roommates

[still gazelle]

alex’s dad is a billionaire

[humble sparrow]

but people survive on less than that

[tacit halo]

100k is fine in the Bay Area

People live on much less

[humble sparrow]

yeah

[still gazelle]

he doesnt care about hundreds of thousands

[abstract wagon]

i am trying to buy a house

[tacit halo]

It’s not doomed

[thick ridge]

Alex arent u paying into usc

[tacit halo]

Do what most ppl do

Rent

[humble sparrow]

like people who go into big 4 or consulting out of college def don't make 100k out the gate but they seem to get by

[tacit halo]

You could say that

[humble sparrow]

pretty well if you ask me

[tacit halo]

Most

The median income is 50k

Do you know how many ppl would kill to make 100k?

It’s not doomed

[abstract wagon]

🤦‍♀️

gosh man the degeneracy

good luck with what ur doing

u gonna need it

[simple saffron]

alex is right though most people dont make as much as we will and make it in cities

the key thing is they have to scrape by

[tacit halo]

Well maybe my perspective is flawed but if ppl are making 100k as interns, that probably means they’ll be famous, have the best networks, and be ultra rich

[simple saffron]

and will most definitely qualify for welfare/food stamps

[edgy dagger]

Bro, if you make 100k you still have to work hard and keep your job. If you make 1M you can retire in 5-10 years easily. That's magnitudes of difference.

[tacit halo]

Before I found out about these internships, I thought the idea of making above minimum wage as a student was crazy

[simple saffron]

a lot of interns here

[tacit halo]

The only difference is that the door gets bigger

[thick ridge]

50/hour

[tacit halo]

Pro rated

[simple saffron]

46/hr with housing is easily 100k

[tacit halo]

100k and 1m probably won’t have significantly different investment strategies

[thick ridge]

100k a year bro

[abstract wagon]

im not saying you cant live on 100k guys, you just wont save much. 200k you can dfinitely start saving for down payment

[simple saffron]

nobody makes 100k in a summer lmfao

[tacit halo]

Maybe a few more vacations and a bigger house

At 10m ur money works for u

U have assistants

[humble sparrow]

yea I guess if you stack spring + summer + fall interns but then you could also just graduate and work

[simple saffron]

its literally 100k

[tacit halo]

100k is still a lot

[simple saffron]

you are working at a 100k rate

[abstract wagon]

😂

[humble sparrow]

also the 1m you can retire thing it's not even true because of lifestyle inflation

I mean it's still a lot

like a ridiculous amount

[tacit halo]

Will probably just use index funds at both levels

At 10m you’ll be using wealth Mangement firms

[humble sparrow]

TSLA and PLTR calls

[thick ridge]

lol

[simple saffron]

he obviously didnt mean making 100k in a single summer?? what are you not getting here

[tacit halo]

I don’t want to sound demoralizing, but I’d say 1m a year isn’t obscenely rich

Rich and comfortable are not the same thing

[edgy dagger]

Maybe if you knew literally nothing about budgeting and wealth management, but if you slapped half of it into a index fund you'd be golden.

[simple saffron]

nah 1m a year is pretty fucking rich

[humble sparrow]

you'd be fine

[tacit halo]

You can be super comfortable and financially secure but still not be rich

Rich is Forbes

[thick ridge]

1m a year is definitely rich

[simple saffron]

you are in the 1%

[humble sparrow]

and you'd retire earlier but you're not like rolling in fuck you money

[dapper shard]

we have this same conversation every night

[simple saffron]

you are by definition an elite

[thick ridge]

you're contradicting your own metrics alex

[tacit halo]

Rich is when ur money works for u

[abstract wagon]

dude complaining abt people complaining 100k isnt a lot. proceeds to say 1m isnt rich

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[still gazelle]

1m a year is so much fucking money

[tacit halo]

Rich means ur money works for u, ppl know ur name, u have access to elite social circles

[thick ridge]

peepo is rite tho we have nothing better to do every night smh

[simple saffron]

1m a year, you never have to worry about getting by

[tacit halo]

Plenty of dumb celebrities make more than that their first year

[humble sparrow]

plenty of celebrities make a lot less than what it looks like on the outside

[simple saffron]

just because kim kardashian makes more than me doesnt mean im not rich

[tacit halo]

At 1m a year, ur not flying around in private jets and owning a mansion in aspen

[abstract wagon]

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[dapper shard]

yall legit have this same conversation about what is considered rich and not rich like every two days lmao

[tacit halo]

I’d say entry level rich is 10m net worth

[thick ridge]

my head hurts theres so much stupidity in this chat I'm sorry

[tacit halo]

30m is where truly rich starts

[abstract wagon]

facts

[still gazelle]

getting 1m a year will lead to 10m net worth

[tacit halo]

Rich is about net worth, not income

[silk ridge]

where can i apply to entry level rich

[still gazelle]

its just one person...

[simple saffron]

fax

[tacit halo]

It will be hard

[dapper shard]

just take this to #random

[tacit halo]

1m is 500k after taxes

No one can save 20 times their income

That doesn’t happen

[abstract wagon]

read this shit lmfaoooo

[sinful oar]

anything more than 50k a year is rich to me

[still gazelle]

poor gang

[simple saffron]

yeah im legit from the mud so im happy with anything above a liveable salary

[still gazelle]

exactly man

[tacit halo]

The thing is that there’s just so much wealth inequality in this country

The Bezos situation

[dapper shard]

respect the grind my dude. hope you make it big 🥺

[still gazelle]

im just happy enough to have enough money to go on vacation

[tacit halo]

You don’t need a lot of money to be happy

[abstract wagon]

i hope we all make enough to get pro streamer setups

[tacit halo]

More money more problems

[dapper shard]

man i still remember you saying your mom cried when you told her. i was so happy for you 🥺

[sinful oar]

same lmao they just don’t understand and honestly neither do i

[still gazelle]

yall the kings

[thick ridge]

just wanna have enough to have experiences no cap

[still gazelle]

And queens

[tacit halo]

I’d say if u can save 1/5 of ur income without sacrificing qol, u should be good

[simple saffron]

fr we talk so much shit about TC and all that but CS is really a blessing and a gateway to a better life

shit is magical

[tacit halo]

200k is plenty for a good life

[abstract wagon]

literally no one is debating that

[tacit halo]

I can go on a great vacation for $500

[still gazelle]

fuckin 60k is enough for a good life

[dapper shard]

CS is my only way out of arkansas so

[tacit halo]

Lower taxes

[thick ridge]

Alex I feel like you talk to yourself in this channel sometimes

[livid beacon]

and yet we’re here on a Saturday night talk about money we don’t have yet

[tacit halo]

I believe that anyone under a certain threshold shouldn’t pay taxes

[sonic badger]

[abstract wagon]

#random

[sonic badger]

u aint owning a house with 60k

ngl

[still gazelle]

well depends on CoL

[sonic badger]

i mean

[tacit halo]

I believe anything less than 60k shouldn’t be taxed

[sonic badger]

i live in a really cheap city

[simple saffron]

true

[sonic badger]

and ur still not buying a house in the city

[tacit halo]

The median house in the country is like 200k

[still gazelle]

i grew up in places where 200k houses were super fucking nice

[sonic badger]

with 60k

[tacit halo]

60k is plenty to afford a house

[abstract wagon]

🤦‍♀️

[sinful oar]

https://www.docusign.com/company/careers/open?gh_jid=2588807&gh_src=ua6xck still actively hiring

[sonic badger]

[tacit halo]

San Francisco house prices aren’t typical

[sonic badger]

im not from sf

[still gazelle]

quebec mf

[tacit halo]

60k will buy a nice house in some parts of the country

5% down payment is enough

So for a 200k house, u just need 10k down

[abstract wagon]

#random

#personalfinances

[tacit halo]

And then it will cost like $800 a month

[abstract wagon]

#random

[tacit halo]

That should be doable on 60k

[abstract wagon]

admin close the chat

[simple saffron]

start spamming the chat with wsb channels again until we move to random

[abstract wagon]

its time to pack it up

[tacit halo]

That’s all I had to say

How’s everyone’s internship search going?

[simple saffron]

real question, would yall be comfortable working at scaleAI?

like with such a young CEO

[thick ridge]

yea why not

[abstract wagon]

i wouldnt mind

[restive falcon]

omg im just tryna have a chill saturday night wats up yall

[simple saffron]

hey boo

[tacit halo]

It would be hard to take someone that young seriously

[restive falcon]

new phone who dis?

[tacit halo]

Ceo needs to be in a different generation

[humble sparrow]

don't have a problem with his age idk about their financials though

[tacit halo]

Yeah valuation is sketchy

[abstract wagon]

i-

[simple saffron]

id just be worried about the company's future. but he seems like a smart dude

[tacit halo]

Do u think it’s worth $3B?

[simple saffron]

probably

[tacit halo]

Maturity doesn’t correlate with academic intelligence

Some report I found online says their revenue is $10M

[simple saffron]

i mean huge unicorns dont even have to be profitable

[tacit halo]

Yes growth potential matters but a $3B valuation is so far out of line if revenue is $10M

They’ll need to be profitable eventually

[humble sparrow]

eh dash just had a huge ipo without any profit

[tacit halo]

If the valuation isn’t based on the financials, we call that wsb

[humble sparrow]

and abnb only because they laid off a third of the companie

[restive falcon]

#random 💅

[tacit halo]

If he was 28 or 29 it would be different

[abstract wagon]

sports isnt really random though

[tacit halo]

But 3 years isn’t a lot

[humble sparrow]

instacart did that too last week layoffs ahead of ipo

[restive falcon]

someone create the sports community channel 👁️ 👄 👁️

[abstract wagon]

random should be for this kind of conversations

[tacit halo]

The average unicorn ceo is 45

[humble sparrow]

age isn't the problem zuck was really young when he made fb

it's the companie itself

[tacit halo]

The number of unicorn CEOs under 30 is probably in the single digits

When it starts growing is when there needs to be more oversight

If u have 10000 employees, then a ceo with a long history of leadership experience is important

[humble sparrow]

they're not disruptive they're just another ai companie in a massively crowded space

[still gazelle]

this server really gets on my nerves sometimes

[tacit halo]

They’re aws mechanical Turk

[humble sparrow]

with questionable financials

[tacit halo]

What do they have that’s unique?

Contracting out data labeling to third world countries

Aws mechanical Turk does that

[dapper shard]

burh lol

[thick ridge]

lmk if I'm wrong

[dapper shard]

imma go to sleep for the night lol

[tacit halo]

imagine being motivated to start cp

[simple saffron]

is cp just leetcode on steroids

i never understood it

[still gazelle]

i got temporarily sick of leetcode

so im doing cp to pass time

[tacit halo]

I’ve been sick of it since the start

[abstract wagon]

not really

it's its own beast

[tacit halo]

I’m fine with ctci, algoexpert, cf

Anything but it

The name is cringy af

[still gazelle]

different style of problems

[simple saffron]

jesus christ i cant go on youtube without being assaulted by clement's gf

[limber hazel]

cp problems are usually more fun

imo

[tacit halo]

Would anyone here ever seriously consider founding a startup?

CP is less about knowledge and more about strategy

There’s problems for every level

[still gazelle]

@abstract wagon whats ur cf rating again

[simple saffron]

cp only uses cpp right

[tacit halo]

There’s problems for people just beginning cs

[still gazelle]

basically

[abstract wagon]

@still gazelle ~1900

[still gazelle]

holy fuck

[limber hazel]

some good programmers use java

[tacit halo]

I had to learn c++ for robotics

It was fun

[limber hazel]

I think petr uses java right?

[simple saffron]

i thought python was banned

[still gazelle]

c++ is the best language for it

[thick ridge]

can u provide that in league terms

[limber hazel]

python isnt banned its just terrible for it

[simple saffron]

i heard cpp has the best modules

[tacit halo]

Python is fine

[still gazelle]

[tacit halo]

What is CP useful for?

[still gazelle]

i wanna hit 1600 by the end of summer 💪

What tangible results could u get with such a score?

[abstract wagon]

maybe diamond promos XD

U can

[abstract wagon]

hasnt happened to me

[tacit halo]

It’s definitely not the norm

[abstract wagon]

on league im bronze so dw guys

lcs not happening soon

[tacit halo]

Does CP correlate with the ability to make a company money?

[thick ridge]

bro

[tacit halo]

I mean most ppl who get into faang don’t have CP

[twilit mesa]

you look up one coding tutorial and then u get the clement gf ad for like 4 weeks

[still gazelle]

jesus christ alex

[tacit halo]

So it’s nowhere near necessary

[still gazelle]

it doesnt matter

i like doing it

[tacit halo]

Is it worth it tho?

[abstract wagon]

yo her eye makeup scares me

[still gazelle]

can i just do what i like lol?

[tacit halo]

Absolutely

I’m just asking in general

[thick ridge]

what does she even say
something about inverting a binary tree rite

lol

[still gazelle]

i got bored of video games so im doing cp now

[twilit mesa]

yea

[simple saffron]

clement a good guy tho dont get me wrong

he just gotta chill with the ads

[tacit halo]

I’ve played video games since day 1

Clement is a great guy

[twilit mesa]

^^^^

[tacit halo]

He seems quite helpful

[limber hazel]

the biggest problem I have with starting on CF

[twilit mesa]

i get like 4 of them per day

[simple saffron]

his TC video was so insightful

[tacit halo]

He’s trying to grow a business

[limber hazel]

is the english translations are often terrible

[oblique cobalt]

dude bought more ads than bloomberg

[tacit halo]

Is it not originally in English?

[twilit mesa]

bru i would never pay for youtube premium

[limber hazel]

some problems I had an easier time understanding when using google translate on the russian problem statement

no its usually russian

[twilit mesa]

more than tiktok

[tacit halo]

Other countries are much stronger than the us in CP

It may have originally been invented by Russia

[thick shore]

i think @restive falcon had an idea for personal project

but she didnt have enough web people

[flat vine]

hey since we're normalizing reneging can we also start normalizing leaving the job in the first month

[tacit halo]

Web people?

There’s so many people here

A great place to grow

[tacit halo]

Companies need to stop taking it so seriously

Should they ruin our careers over it

6 months before an internship occurs is too early to decide

[low epoch]

hey since we're normalizing reneging can we also start normalizing emailing recruiters on their personal email

[tacit halo]

You’ll have other options

[tacit halo]

It’s a last resort

[low epoch]

no

[dapper shard]

its a no resort...

[low epoch]

don't do it alex

[dapper shard]

that's weird bruh

leave their personal email alone

[low epoch]

it's like your pizza delivery driver showing up to your house off the clock to ask you on a date

they might be good looking but cmon now

[dapper shard]

there is a reason they have a work email and a personal email

[flat vine]

that's why he said can we start normalizing it

we know its weird

[tacit halo]

I’ve sent emails to the CEOs of major companies and it’s part of the reason I got mentors and funding

[flat vine]

but lets make it, not weird yknow?

[dapper shard]

no

[flat vine]

[tacit halo]

It’s not ideal

[low epoch]

no

[tacit halo]

But it’s not the end of the world

[dapper shard]

that's just strange dude

[low epoch]

alex if i was your recruiter and u emailed my gmail

[dapper shard]

know your boundaries

[low epoch]

i would call your mother

[thick ridge]

^

[dapper shard]

yall need to go to bed

[tacit halo]

I have 14 different email addresses

[dapper shard]

[tacit halo]

That I actively use

I probably have much more tho

[low epoch]

[tacit halo]

Helps keep stuff organized

I have an email just for recruiting

[thick ridge]

question: accepting a role that's on a hardware team and my role is "hardware intern" but the team writes code and I'll be writing code only; is it acceptable to say swe? or should I stick to hardware intern

[thick shore]

u know email accounts can have folders

right

so u could have 14 folders

instead of 14 accs

[tacit halo]

Yeah. I’m probably gonna set up folders

[simple jay]

stick to title but u can describe it as writing software

[dapper shard]

id slap hardware engineer on it and then just put descriptions emphasizing your coding stuff

[thick ridge]

fuck okay

[tacit halo]

Is just say software and describe the role

Since ur primarily interested in software

[dapper shard]

the role isn't software engineer

[still gazelle]

i dont think u should be lying on ur resume

[tacit halo]

Isn’t it a software role tho?

[thick ridge]

ill ask the team if they can change the title cuz the only reason it's hardware intern is cuz it's a hardware team

[tacit halo]

Yeah check with ur team

[dapper shard]

i mean you can ask but honestly in terms of your resume i don't think it will matter in the long run

just describe your programming stuff

and you should be fine

[tacit halo]

If ur solely doing software for a hardware team, it’s likely software

[low epoch]

which language will u be using btw

for the hardware intern

if you know

[thick ridge]

c/c++/python/ a little verilog

[abstract wagon]

what company 👀

[tacit halo]

Is the work ur doing more related to software or hardware?

[low epoch]

slap the swe on that sucker lol

[dapper shard]

sigh

[tacit halo]

I’d ur doing low level c stuff, then that might be more hardware

[dapper shard]

just do what you want

[thick ridge]

im not tryna cap so I'll ask them first lol

but appreciate the advice

[tacit halo]

There’s far worse ways to cap

That ppl do all the time and don’t get in trouble for

[thick ridge]

eh don't care if u could do worse

I just don't wanna fall in the cap category

[low epoch]

these are all trivialities considering the job description
like someone said here once, as long as u don't change google step to google swe you're good

again, i'm contextualizing based on what you're "actually" doing not what you're "supposedly" doing

[tacit halo]

Yeah in the end it’s just trivial

[thick ridge]

yup fair

and hopefully the description is all that matters

[tacit halo]

Descriptions sometimes matter and sometimes don’t

Which I don’t necessarily agree with

[low epoch]

i suppose on resume i'd understand being stricter
but on linkedin apparently having "software" on profile should help searchability

i can justify that for ur case

[simple jay]

speaking of this i feel like i know/seen a couple people do this LMAO

[thick ridge]

not for the hardware, but for optimizing

[low epoch]

yeah we call those actual cappers

[thick ridge]

GPU interconnects 👀

[silk ridge]

yeah @thick ridge i think its just their way of doing things, i worked exclusively on software and wasnt "software engineering intern"

[tacit halo]

Is the work directly related to hardware?

[thick shore]

yea it was u

[still gazelle]

[low epoch]

[silk ridge]

im sure most companies would consider it just SWE

[simple jay]

ya mbmb

[still gazelle]

joey

[thick ridge]

yeah that's what I thought too

thanks for confirming

[still gazelle]

who are the OGs in this server

[simple jay]

i forgot

[tacit halo]

Yeah it’s not something to get caught up in

[thick shore]

idk

im an og

[thick ridge]

[tacit halo]

Original goat?

[still gazelle]

[dapper shard]

[thick shore]

[tacit halo]

Close to 700k messages

[low epoch]

joey is not OG he can't prove it

[simple jay]

mr emote still afk 😭

[thick ridge]

if im being honest tho this server rlly helped me get through quarantine cuz it gave me ppl to talk to

[tacit halo]

Just looked for messages sent since February

[dapper shard]

oh shit. i came right when it was just starting then

[low epoch]

mr emote stepped out to get milk and didn't come back 😭

[tacit halo]

Who’s this mr emote?

[abstract wagon]

@low epoch can you prove you are a friend of mr emote

[dapper shard]

joey recommended i go to therapy earlier rather than later and ill never forget that 🥺

[simple jay]

i still see him on lg sometimes 🥺

[tacit halo]

Its micorosft tho

[low epoch]

yeah he's sitting right next to me

[tacit halo]

Ngl therapy has been really helpful for me

[thick shore]

drillking

why is it every time i open up this channel

ur talking about some cringe company prestiege stuff

[tacit halo]

Will the recruiter even know the difference?

It’s a CS majors discord

[thick shore]

like bro u care so much about status

im not saying u shouldnt or cant

[tacit halo]

Topics: gpa doesn’t matter

[thick shore]

but curious

[low epoch]

fax bruh being surrounded by all these 6ft handsome faangers has been inspiring

[tacit halo]

Gpa does matter

Gpa killed my parents

[abstract wagon]

we need mr emote back

wholesome

[thick ridge]

mr emote gives hella good advice 🚫 🧢

[thick shore]

l0l

[tacit halo]

You’ll care less about it as u age

[thick shore]

lots of people

[tacit halo]

10 years from now no one will be having these long conversations about status

[low epoch]

mr emote lent me his tesla, saved an amazon warehouse worker from fire, and gave clement furniture

[thick shore]

no thats why i said

[low epoch]

hero

[thick shore]

u can do w/e

i was just wondering what does it for u

do u seek external validation from ur peers

[tacit halo]

Honestly I’d say it delivers a sense of security

[thick ridge]

🧢

[low epoch]

drillking do u want us to validate u

[thick shore]

did u study cs to work at big tech company?

[tacit halo]

Will make u feel good when u go to bed at night

[low epoch]

i charge for that

[tacit halo]

What’s everyone’s real motive for studying CS?

[thick shore]

cool

[tacit halo]

Is there anyone who’s in it not for the money

[simple jay]

idk what else id do lol

[simple saffron]

what up king

[low epoch]

money != status

[simple jay]

thats probably it

[thick ridge]

a lot of people arent in it for the money

[low epoch]

i'm in it for the money

i'm AOC

[thick ridge]

binary searchg tree

[low epoch]

i also am not a binary search tree

[dapper shard]

CS means less school for me compared to being an English major and trying to become an AP Lang teacher

[tacit halo]

Would u dance on tiktok if u could make more money?

[low epoch]

let's goooo

[abstract wagon]

im in it for the girls in cs

[tacit halo]

Or do CS for less money?

[simple saffron]

yeah all the girls in CS

[thick shore]

grinding

[tacit halo]

If English majors made 150k out of school and CS majors we’re unemployed, would u still do cs?

[simple saffron]

[thick shore]

yea from oralndo

[simple saffron]

[thick ridge]

literally my dream

[abstract wagon]

@thick shore yall have dennys in florida right

[low epoch]

if cs majors were literally creating nuclear armament software and social media that drives teens to suicide
would u still do CS

[dapper shard]

English will always be my passion. I like programming too though. So CS is ight overall.

[thick shore]

[tacit halo]

My grandparents moved down to Florida

[simple saffron]

Many aunts and uncles did

[still gazelle]

[low epoch]

waffle house is waittress dependent

if the waitress got attitude

[tacit halo]

Waffle House is the greatest

[dapper shard]

#random

[tacit halo]

I’d give up everything for Waffle House

[abstract wagon]

[tacit halo]

Working at Waffle House >>>>>>>>>> faang

[low epoch]

eating waffles at faang >>>>

[simple saffron]

[simple saffron]

!process chickfila offer

[small fossil]

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

[tacit halo]

What’s 23/33 as a percentage?

[abstract wagon]

[simple saffron]

[low epoch]

!process 2sigma trade

[small fossil]

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

[abstract wagon]

process :kirblanket:

[tacit halo]

!process kirb will work for me

[small fossil]

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

[tacit halo]

Kirb is hired

Ur tc is a blank check

[abstract wagon]

ill remember my kirb friends when im ceo

[tacit halo]

What’s the next step then?

Managment

[simple saffron]

damn cant wait for when i get a juicy FAANG offer and i can finally afford nitro

[tacit halo]

Would u want to become an engineering manager at some point?

[abstract wagon]

[simple saffron]

im tryna be at home with my wife and kids

[low epoch]

[tacit halo]

Travel?

Travel every day

[simple saffron]

realistically id play osrs all day

shit slaps

[tacit halo]

Would u find a new side hobby?

Like painting

[low epoch]

if it can't go on resume it's worthless

coding or bust

[thick shore]

nice

@mighty musk u still around?

[simple saffron]

[tacit halo]

Boredom

[mighty musk]

hullo

[twilit mesa]

bru i'm gonna be a stay at home dad 💯

fuck working

[thick shore]

how’s it going

[tacit halo]

I’d want to travel all the time

[thick ridge]

havent seen wuxman in a fat minute

[simple saffron]

i just want enough free time to drop my solo rap album

[thick shore]

yea i remember he plays rs

[low epoch]

@loud hollow you see, you finally don't have to be alone all the time

[mighty musk]

pretty good, just playing games and watching youtube all day

[thick shore]

or played

[mighty musk]

i havent played osrs in a while

[simple saffron]

i dont play anymore either i just watch A Friend streams until i cry and pass out

[thick shore]

osrs content creation is so unhealthy

like the amount of time people put into it doesn’t translate to money

idk

it’s a passion thing though so can’t hate on it

[tacit halo]

Is it real money?

[simple saffron]

yeah like settle's UIM video series

insane amount of hours put into that

[tacit halo]

Is osrs real money?

[thick shore]

yea there is but trading it is against rules

i was talking about ad revenue from content creation

[tacit halo]

Meaning streaming?

[thorny gorge]

[lean dagger]

Anyone in googles project search stage?

[stiff vessel]

several people are, you can check the #781726155337367555 community channel

[runic tinsel]

is there a list of channels here

[unborn hornet]

@abstract wagon, Please run this command in the #bot_commands channel

[pallid spade]

cringe

[pliant hawk]

i jus read that, bro what

[fresh loom]

has anyone gone through amazon’s front end engineer intern interview process? i can only find SDE specific information but not frontend :((

[tacit halo]

Yep this is quite true

Except Microsoft debatably

They’ll just think u work at the Microsoft store

Tell ur gf or ur grandmother that u work at google, they’ll be impressed

[humble pendant]

seriously? who cares - this sounds like /r/applyingtocollege where all the high school students are crazy about getting into Ivy Leagues so they can brag to their friends and families about going to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc

[pliant hawk]

ppl say u need an internship anywhere, then they say u need a faang internship, then u get amazon and then ur still not good enuff

it never ends

[tacit halo]

Yeah it’s cringey but personal image kinda matters to some

[tacit halo]

Amazon is definitely good enough

An internship isn’t a requirement for anything

So having an amazon internship is only a plus

No serious decision maker is gonna look down

[pliant hawk]

o i jus re read that, when u say u work for amazon jus say as a software engineer lmao

literally jus an addition to a sentence

legit doe

[tacit halo]

Not just recruiters

It will come up in many aspects of life

[pliant hawk]

told my parents ima work at kohls for suimmer, then said as a software engineer intern

why would it matter besides recruioters

[tacit halo]

I’ve never met anyone that elitist who will look down on an amazon intern

Besides kids

[pliant hawk]

and even with recruiters dont they look at position lmao

[tacit halo]

Future hiring managers, venture capitalists, even ur girlfriend’s family members

But no one is gonna look down on amazon

Only immature kids will

[eager valve]

only people that look down on amazon are the chads that buy from alibaba

[humble sparrow]

recruiters don't think with that type of granularity wtf lol

it's like if it's a company they've heard good things about it's fine

[tacit halo]

it doesnt even need to be a company they heard about

ppl get into these companies all the time without big names on their resume

[humble sparrow]

yeah not even. my undergrad roommate works at aws now, first job out of college was like a mid-size company that i can't even remember

but like even for hedge funds one of my cousins used to be a recruiter at citadel and like everything from cisco to google is "good enough"

[stiff vessel]

This lol

[humble sparrow]

for experienced hires. it's more about the individual candidate than where they come from

[hasty panther]

Some kids think anything below Jane Street is crap

🤣

We live in a really shallow society unfortunately

[tacit halo]

this is true

for entry level they're not expecting you to be albert einstein or someone

people definitely overexaggerate how hard it is to get into these companies

it's still hard

but you don't need some godly resume

it just has to be good enough

and then you have to focus on the interview

and network, network, network

this will go a long way

[eager valve]

how do I network

[tacit halo]

linkedin

[marsh burrow]

list a bunch of big n company names in the description for a project or work experience and see if it passes the automated screens

[tacit halo]

alumni

reach out to literally hundreds of people

[eager valve]

cold talking to ppl on linkldin works?

[stone tiger]

It definitely is hard to get into those companies lol. If everyone does those things you mention then the bar will just get higher

[boreal orchid]

yes, worst case they never respond

[tacit halo]

it does

[eager valve]

ill try that then

[tacit halo]

don't worry if your response rate is 10-20%

thats typical

[eager valve]

what do u even ask from them?

like a referral?

[tacit halo]

just refine your message over time

just an informal coffee chat first

or 2 minutes of their time

to ask about their work life

[boreal orchid]

or even just ask career advice

[tacit halo]

if it's recruiters just sen an email and be direct with your request

[eager valve]

gotcha

[eager valve]

what does this lead to

[tacit halo]

just ask a few questions about their work

and then at the end just be direct about asking for a referall

many will say yes

[eager valve]

interesting

thank you, I will try with alums first ig

[humble sparrow]

yea a lot of companies pay bonus

if someone they refer gets hired

not sure if it applies to interns

[tacit halo]

some yes

[humble sparrow]

but it's like $2000-5000 so people don't have a problem giving them out if you connect with them first

but not to like total randos

[tacit halo]

its literally in their interest to refer you

if youre a reasonable candidate

not some superhuman

[stiff vessel]

I’ve never networked before

Many ppl I know never have

For typical cs roles (like the ones in the Pitt list) I don’t think it does much for you

Or the odds of it working out are so low your time is better spent just working on LC

[tacit halo]

@stiff vessel

by networking i mean reaching out to recruiters

and the occasional referral

an for certain companies hiring managers

if u just submit ur resume online, u might here back 2% of the time

if ur lucky

unless u have something exceptional like faang or a tippy top target

networking might get that response rate to 10-20%

thats been my success rate with emailing recruiters

just mass email recruiters

like email 500 recruiters
