[restive falcon]

look into yc combinator internships

[round cloud]

anyone ever interview with Citizen.com (NY) ? for SWE?

[spare patio]

So I'm still waiting because the candidate who got offer before me hasn't accepted/reject. In the meantime, do you guys think it's okay if I asked the company to consider me for fall term as well (in case the other candidate takes their offer)? Or would that look bad?

[ionic bronze]

worth a shot

[marsh burrow]

Which company?

[neat tiger]

has anyone had a phone interview with Paypal? I have one this week.

[ruby gull]

i have had one

[formal finch]

any good companies that still recruiting iOS eng?

[west meadow]

Dropbox contacted me half a year after I applied for an internship lmao

[spare patio]

do you think i should ask now or ask if/when they reject me?

[spare patio]

yext

[ionic bronze]

ask now @spare patio there isn't really any reason not to unless im missing something

[spare patio]

just scared it'll affect my chances for summer, haha

but yeah i dont think they'll care that much

[dusty vine]

when u ask to move to fall, what reason do u generally give them? like do u tell them u already signed or are going to sign another offer

or lie

[shell skiff]

oi

yall are gonna love this

https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/lfjabg/netflxs_first_internship_program/

[soft hound]

what int he name of fuck is this

[shell skiff]

acronym

Amazon, Facebook, Uber, Netflix, Google, Apple, Lyft, Microsoft, Airbnb, Snap, Stripe

[soft hound]

wtf

[shell skiff]

better than FAANG tbh

[soft hound]

do people actually use that

[shell skiff]

no

this guy was memeing

[soft hound]

lol

[simple saffron]

FUNGALMASS is a great acronym

[soft hound]

[simple saffron]

i am indeed a FAANG man slut

[soft hound]

[unborn storm]

Hey, how is the initial interview at Lyft?

Amazon
Apple
Netflix
Google
Microsoft
Airbnb
Nvidia??
S?
Lyft
Uber
Tesla?
Stripe?

[ionic bronze]

S for Starbucks

[soft hound]

lol

[abstract wagon]

tesla > twitter

[simple saffron]

ok i think i’m next. till next time y’all

[formal marten]

S for Salesforce for sure

oh Snap as well

[lunar dock]

Other acronyms include: AFUNGALMASS, FLAMINGASS, ASSFAMING, ANALFUGMASS, and more

... according to the ppl of reddit

[real fern]

yo anyone who knows about the amazon OA's, is OA2 due the same day as OA1?

email is unclear

[solar phoenix]

lol the longer the acronym becomes it destroys the toxic pedestal few companies would stand on

[lunar dock]

Is it just me or are those big companies like Uber that shouldn't be considered startups, still considered startups?

[restive falcon]

i think ppl consider uber to be unicorn

even tho it alr ipo

[proper mountain]

s = salesforce?

[patent sluice]

idek the official definition of a unicorn

to me unicorn = non-faang top tech company

[turbid river]

unicorn = private company with $1+ billion dollar valuation

they were originally called that because it was so rare, the title doesn't make sense anymore now that it's a lot more common

[frosty ginkgo]

Gotta up it to $1+ trillion dollar valuation then

[lunar dock]

S = Salesforce? Stripe? Spotify? Snap?

[thick hare]

S = Sonic's Drive-In

[thorny pike]

can international interns apply?

[ashen needle]

already posted in fall but figured id get better response here- Does anyone have advice for HubSpot phone screen

[waxen kelp]

[twin garnet]

msftindgeek seems good for new grad

[ionic bronze]

[pliant hawk]

i dont even know mindgeek

[humble sparrow]

orange youtube

[merry dirge]

Just wondering, who does Amazon pay 9k+/mo salaries to?

[shrewd karma]

the delivery drivers

[merry dirge]

Lmao got em

[ionic bronze]

wha all the sde's get paid 9k+ a month

For internships, I think only sde's in the bay area get paid more (not including the relocation stipends)

[merry dirge]

Oh yeah I meant internships

Ah I see

[frosty ginkgo]

Yea but you're getting fucked by rent and higher prices in general

[pliant hawk]

2k for a box my dude

[frosty ginkgo]

How much did blind 75 prepare you for big n OA's/final round oa's?
Did you guys just go through the entire list and was that good enough or did you grind through something else along with it?

[ionic bronze]

rng

[frosty ginkgo]

Ah so i should generate a random number and then do that leetcode problem?

[flat vine]

imagine how nice it would be to soak up CA wages in a low-cost area

[frosty ginkgo]

Isn't that Austin/Pittsburgh?

Assuming you get like google/fb

[ionic bronze]

nah imagine remote work + low COL houston

@frosty ginkgo buddy of mine starting 160k from Twitter in Houston while average starting salary for SWE is like 90k

[frosty ginkgo]

holy fuck

do u have any buddies at 2sig houston?

i rmb seeing the freshman internship posting a while back but that was for houston

which was rly interesting

[ionic bronze]

nah my school isn't really known for quant students :(

2s's Houston office is tiny asf

They only place freshman interns or seniors there i think

[frosty ginkgo]

they prolly pay 200+k houston new grad 👀

[ionic bronze]

Majority of twosigma employees go2 their HQ in NYC

[frosty ginkgo]

thatsa mansion right there

yep

[ionic bronze]

bruh a mansion here is 100k already tbh kekw

housing is so fucking cheap here

[frosty ginkgo]

what state?

[ionic bronze]

My family is paying 200k for a 3000sqft house in a decent location

Houston Texas @frosty ginkgo

[frosty ginkgo]

bruh my fams house 1.3 million for 1600sqft

[ionic bronze]

looool

where at?

[frosty ginkgo]

bay area vibes

[ionic bronze]

Oh lmao

That's why I really wanna apply to remote jobs

[frosty ginkgo]

everything outside the bay looks cheap for me lol

asifde from like ny

[ionic bronze]

And use my return offers to boost my other offers

[frosty ginkgo]

isnt remote more open for like senior tho pre corona

[ionic bronze]

There are some companies that are going remote first

[frosty ginkgo]

yea i rmb microsoft saying that right?

[ionic bronze]

Notable ones are like Github, Reddit, and Spotify (not too sure about the last one)

Nah like true remote first

Microsoft lied about that kekw, i think it's heavily team dependent

And other companies like Stripe and Twitter is moving to remote i believe

[frosty ginkgo]

ik gitlab is pure remote and they have a wage calculator on their website

[ionic bronze]

So ima apply to all of those and try and get a pog 180k TC in Houston

Aaaa

Oh wut GitLab wage calculator?

That's interesting

[frosty ginkgo]

yea they explicitly state what ur gonna be paid depending on area

[ionic bronze]

F that would mean I'd probably get paid half of what bay area employees would get paid

[frosty ginkgo]

its still a pretty nice tc afaik

[ionic bronze]

Either way I'm still holding on to hope that Snap goes fully remote

I don't want to do new grad interviews if I can help it

[frosty ginkgo]

does snap do conversion interviews?

[ionic bronze]

Nah

Apparently interns are a part of their head count

So conversion rate is like near 100%

[frosty ginkgo]

damn ok

[ionic bronze]

Ikr, I was surprised too lol

[frosty ginkgo]

dyk wlb of snap

i heard mixed things abt it

[ionic bronze]

I think it's heavily team dependent

Seattle office has a bit better wlb than LA offices according to blind

Some people only have to work 40 hours while others seem to work 60+ hours a week

So it feels like a hit or miss

[shrewd karma]

You can sell your shares, depending on the company they have different solutions

Whenever your company raises new rounds of a funding series, you can sell your shares to the investors

In addition, some companies allow you to sell your shares within a certain time period each year if you choose to do so

[balmy blade]

Any1 know fidelity process

I just cold emailed a recruiter and they got back to me with a phone interview

[long cave]

idk about intern but i got an offer for full time

it was apply -> hirevue -> recruiter phone interview (they just ask you about your resume, etc., tell you about the process and answer questions you have) -> final round -> offer

[balmy blade]

@long cave Is there a

OA?

[low epoch]

This is what i like to see in the morning

FUNGALMASS

[long cave]

I see you also saw that post

i too aspire to be AFUNGALMASS

[stone gull]

Is amazon portal change like confirmed offer?

[earnest musk]

[viral python]

anyone taken this pendo oa

[formal finch]

should I take Cisco return offer or go to MasterCard

With Cisco, I love the ppl, the stack I’m familiar with, and great pay. However they don’t do IOS eng or anything related to mobile development, which is something that I wanna do. Also, I won’t have different experience on my resume.

[humble sparrow]

what's the alternative? Cisco is a solid opportunity in general

[formal finch]

MasterCard

[humble sparrow]

also solid

[formal finch]

MasterCard is a third company that I can flex on my resume. However, they use angular which I don’t like, but they have a chance of doing IOS eng but it’s certain tho

Also, the pay is less and I don’t know how the team is overall, which is something that I’m scared since I had really bad team in my first internship

[humble sparrow]

I wouldn't worry about the technology that much since you're likely going to have to change teams / stacks several times in your career anyways, especially early on

do they not tell you what team you're working with?

[formal finch]

they did but I meant ppl in the team

I’m working on application that budget money for workers that’s traveling like giving money for expenses such as food and other necessities while traveling

[dim sentinel]

Yeah I have

[humble sparrow]

hm I'd go with where you think you have the best opportunity to grow/learn in general. Definitely don't think money should be the deciding factor especially for an internship.

and I've seen people move between mobile and backend and vice versa especially early on in your career (am a bit older)... Team is probably more important than company.

[formal finch]

I forgot to mention that I’m on WebEx team, which my work will be seen by many ppl

[viral python]

its tough?

[formal finch]

The work at MasterCard doesn’t seem to be meaningful

I’m just looking for the best company to give more impact on my resume

[humble sparrow]

as an intern I don't think you're going to be working on something with that high visibility but idk

Cisco probably gives you a bit more impact but Mastercard is also a very big company

[formal finch]

So, just stay with Cisco?

it look like Cisco def have more pros than cons

[dim sentinel]

yeah its a LC Med/Hard

[viral python]

is it just 1 question?

[dim sentinel]

yeah

[magic flax]

Does anyone know if qualtrics can push summer internships to fall?

[frosty ginkgo]

Where are u interning in Cisco v MasterCard?

[abstract wagon]

anyone know if i can change location for american express full time if i intern for the phoenix location

[ember stream]

Lol I just had a one minute phone screen with a startup

[ionic bronze]

one minute phone screen

tf

[ember stream]

They were like, we are looking for someone that can start right away as a full time intern that transitions into a full time job

they didnt say that anywhere in the application

[ancient flower]

Which startup? Did you pass?

[ember stream]

Lol Internet brands.

Obvi didn't pass

[ionic bronze]

fuck that lmao

[ember stream]

ya lol

I said I couldn't start full time right away and they were like alright, call us when you can start

Im looking at it and internet brands isn't even a startup

[ionic bronze]

"alright, call us when you can"

lmfao

[ember stream]

Whatever, I have more time to focus on a Viasat phone later today

[faint musk]

Has anyone here interviewed for HPE? I have their 2nd round in a few hours

[low epoch]

I’m doing mastercard and cisco sounds exciting. I think i’m doing some java/spring stuff but not too sure

Team is nice, they’ve emailed me and stuff

[abstract wagon]

Hi guys! So I'm imagining that I probably cannot make much use of the internship channels yet because I am an HS senior, but can you guys point me in a direction where I can look for some internships? (Maybe a Discord Server or websites(s) that include HS internships.) And also does anyone have a spreadsheet filled with companies that typically internships I look at and apply for once I actually enter college?

[ionic bronze]

@abstract wagon lots of Big N have freshman programs

imo do personal projects and LC

[formal finch]

Currently, I’m part of the WebEx JS and reach sdk team. Work is pretty easy and pays well. As of right now, I wanna find the most impact on resume for summer 2022 recruitment or doing IOS eng

[formal finch]

My team seems okay but the product is kinda boring.

I def prefer my team at Cisco at MasterCard

[abstract wagon]

yeah taht is the default summer plan for me because realistically im not oging to find a company offering any internship to a high schooler but im not shutting my door on it

[formal finch]

MasterCard gives me another company to put on my resume

[frosty ginkgo]

poggers another one enters

u going to gt or ut?

[thorny gorge]

[abstract wagon]

unfortunately no :((( havent made a decision yet still waiting on 3

[frosty ginkgo]

which ones?

[abstract wagon]

UIUC and UW

[frosty ginkgo]

yep same waiting on uiuc also

[ionic bronze]

I know this girl who got an internship senior year hs

she's goated as fuck

not impossible

[abstract wagon]

oooooh i see isee

[frosty ginkgo]

what kind of internships tho

[abstract wagon]

did she apply for an internsihp taht specifically was offered up to hs seniors ?

[ionic bronze]

hmm it was a decent company outside of tech

[frosty ginkgo]

the primary hs internships honestly look like a joke

[ionic bronze]

i know nasa and locklheed also does hs internships

[frosty ginkgo]

cssi is just html/css/js and cisco is python

[abstract wagon]

or was it an internship meant for college stduents but she got intto them

[ionic bronze]

idr tbh

[abstract wagon]

aaahhh icic

i am looking at cssi since it is highschool

cisco i never knew had one but ill look

[ionic bronze]

realistically tho i probably won't stress too much about it

just get goated for freshman year

get an interview with 2sigma freshman program

pass all their LC

[abstract wagon]

and i heard about the nasa and lockhead one too i should look into it

[ionic bronze]

and be rich for the rest of your life

fullproof plan tbh

[abstract wagon]

planning on it >:)))

[frosty ginkgo]

bro if hes asking questions abt internships hes not getting into 2s freshman

[ionic bronze]

naa

[frosty ginkgo]

2s freshman is all usaco plat

[abstract wagon]

sheeeeeesh

[frosty ginkgo]

u dont fuck with them

[ionic bronze]

i didn't know about internships till like second sem of freshman year

and i got an interview with them

[frosty ginkgo]

dp hards freshman year

[ionic bronze]

granted i failed it so horribly i cried

but

i still got the interview

[ancient flower]

How did you manage to get that?

[ionic bronze]

idk

[frosty ginkgo]

but yea do blind 75 on leetcode

[ionic bronze]

rng

[frosty ginkgo]

like 1 question a day and ull be done in 2.5 months

[ancient flower]

Oh

[abstract wagon]

yeah ill just crank out leetcode, hackerrank, etc etc

[ionic bronze]

at the very least

u could probably aim for google step

or fbu

[abstract wagon]

say less say less

[ionic bronze]

or be like that one freshman here who got an apple ai/ml internship in freshman year :/

[abstract wagon]

jeeeeeeeeeeeeeez

i can only dream

[frosty ginkgo]

or the one that got linkedn/intuit

[ionic bronze]

fr

[frosty ginkgo]

coke tab 👀

[abstract wagon]

deeep deeeeep dream

[ionic bronze]

coke tab 📑

[frosty ginkgo]

naw not rly a dream bc he's been only coding for like 1 year

and u got 8m till college

[abstract wagon]

SAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[frosty ginkgo]

so like if u grind u can get on his level

[ionic bronze]

just do LC

ez

[abstract wagon]

alright starting my discplined LC journey today

[ionic bronze]

have like 1-2 personal projects

[abstract wagon]

• 1-2 personal projectrs

[ionic bronze]

cuz freshman programs have a low entry to interview bar

[abstract wagon]

i see i see

William Lin who? nah, never heard of him

[frosty ginkgo]

william lin could prolly work at citadel/hrt out of hs instead of going to mit imao

[abstract wagon]

thats waht i alwaysthought to myself

like.....what could you possibly learn now...

[frosty ginkgo]

thats why he goes to mit

[restive falcon]

being good at cp doesn't mean ur necessarily a good swe

[ionic bronze]

it does mean u make a lot of money tho

[abstract wagon]

ah

whatever he doesi wish him the best

[thick hare]

but that's what you need to pass the interviews

[abstract wagon]

he'll end up doing great things ((hopefully))

[frosty ginkgo]

is he going for industry or a phd

[ionic bronze]

im bad at LC and even worse at swe

😦

[abstract wagon]

that i do not know

[frosty ginkgo]

i think if he was alr going for industry he wouldnt need to go to mit

[abstract wagon]

i hope not phd

[restive falcon]

swe is more collaboration than most ppl realize

[abstract wagon]

but again his life not mine

[frosty ginkgo]

and just get quant out of hs

[ionic bronze]

"just get quant out of hs"

bruh

[frosty ginkgo]

hes made ioi for usa

[abstract wagon]

^

[ionic bronze]

o

[abstract wagon]

he's scary boosted

[ionic bronze]

[frosty ginkgo]

hes essentially like better than most new grads imao

in terms of interview prep

[abstract wagon]

started codign since he was like...8 or 9 i believe

alright well thanks for all the help yall see you guys at FAANG some time soon

ill be around this server allot seems very helpful

[ionic bronze]

only faang smh

[abstract wagon]

[frosty ginkgo]

hes a FUNGALMASS person bet

[ashen needle]

anyone got last minute advice on recruiter phone screen

[faint musk]

which company

[ashen needle]

hubspot

[abstract wagon]

oh god 😳

[vapid condor]

someone educate me, what is this FUNGALMASS

[ashen needle]

the better acronym for faanh

[faint musk]

I've never been in their process but in general phone screens should be just going over resume projects and relevant skills right

maybe a small technical

[ashen needle]

no technical today

[faint musk]

o ok should just be like a general phone screen then just know your resume and the role responsibilities well

[faint musk]

Facebook Uber Netflix Google Amazon Lyft Microsoft Apple Snap Stripe

I think

[vapid condor]

Lyft

ty

[faint musk]

Even though linkedin should be in there

[vapid condor]

FUNGALLMASS

here

now its in there

[faint musk]

fixed

[weak fjord]

Gonna meet a recruiter

From FAANG

What should I say to them to get an interview?

[thick shore]

we source a good chunk of company data from them

[soft hound]

wtf

[thick shore]

u should look into the internship.json blob they request for when u visit /internships/

https://www.levels.fyi/js/internshipData.json

[soft hound]

[restive prairie]

he's better than 99.9% of new grads lol

on codeforces

[cold verge]

[thick shore]

[weak fjord]

What should you say to a recruiter to get an interview?

[faint musk]

[pliant hawk]

Who is that

[ancient flower]

[dim sentinel]

who did u email?

[somber saddle]

Has anyone done the DocuSign OA before

[potent mesa]

has anyone had their interview with Goldman Sachs for summer analyst recently? I submitted my hirevue about 2-3 weeks back haven't heard back since then

[heavy forum]

what ds/problem type?

ahhh that doesn't surprise me

I haven't implemented a max heap in fucking ages lol that would prob go right over the head

fairly uncommon in q's & interviews

[plucky summit]

Anyone take the coding challenge for better mortgage ? 👀

[formal finch]

ppl who got Apple interview and offers

does Apple manager looking at your profile is a sign of a interview?

[heavy forum]

miscellaneously browsing leetcode is completely futile

and CTCI is too all over the place

& outdated.

[dim sentinel]

I have gotten like 3 Apple Recruiters and Engineers look at my profile and I got nothing :(((

[jolly flint]

they just trolling you

[dim sentinel]

Facts

Apple doesn't even care about referrals

I have 2 ppl who referred me

and legit nothing

[formal finch]

bruh I just wanna do iOS eng

I don’t even care where at this point

But I’m still need to compensate tho

[dim sentinel]

[pliant hawk]

[heavy forum]

[pliant hawk]

[thorny gorge]

it was like

how to build a resume and use linkedin

[thorny gorge]

lmao

[thorny gorge]

ok

maybe if it's for a really OP company

[pliant hawk]

Bop ask them so i can know too

[thorny gorge]

but grad money > intern money

[pliant hawk]

BUT intern interview > grad interview

[thorny gorge]

but intern perks > grad perks

[pliant hawk]

lmaoooo

LMAO HAHHA

[thorny gorge]

^

[hasty panther]

I have the exact same question

[formal finch]

bro i fucked up hard. what should i say? I accidentally talk about msft in an email about my offer deadline

[twilit mesa]

o shit

damn

[formal finch]

im going to likely accept it but i have intention of reneging if i get anything better

[dim sentinel]

oh boi

what company is this for?

[low epoch]

Damn recruiter was like point blank af

[narrow patrol]

yikes ngl i would have no clue what to say here.. anyone have ideas?

[twilit mesa]

^

[low epoch]

You could uhhhh accept and if msft makes offer then uhhh wait a while (like a month or two) and renege citing a lie

[dim sentinel]

yeah but I think this recruiter will remember

[formal finch]

wdym citing a lie?

[low epoch]

All aboard the scumbag renegers train

[low epoch]

I just mean give a reason other than msft. Not that it will help much

[formal finch]

oh gotcha

[narrow patrol]

yea but like this recruiter literally knows about msft.. so a lie would be kinda dumb

[dim sentinel]

exactly

[low epoch]

In general when it comes to reneging, the truth is never the smartest (bite me if u disagree). Just cite “hardships” or “change in circumstances”

[dim sentinel]

like if you renege this recruiter will know ur going to msft

[formal finch]

also i dont really care for this company

btw

[dim sentinel]

is it Big N?

[formal finch]

nah

[dim sentinel]

ah

[low epoch]

Well if u dont care then hasta la vista

[dim sentinel]

u cool then I gues lol

[narrow patrol]

like bruh they asked "What are your thoughts on commitment to the offer should microsoft reach out"? 😓

[formal finch]

one of the 5 big credit card companies

[low epoch]

Btw make sure to answer the question in email

[dim sentinel]

ikr that's like god damn straight to the point

[ember stream]

Bruh

Lol

[low epoch]

And delete that screenshot when this convo is done

[dim sentinel]

no beating around the bush

[dark junco]

?

[narrow patrol]

yea like you gotta answer the question tho what do you say..

[dim sentinel]

I would still do Msft if offer comes I guess either way you got banger offers

[low epoch]

Idk i just mean he shared the email and we’re being blatant af here, why leave it up

[narrow patrol]

i dont think they got msft yet tho thats the problem lmao

[formal finch]

yeah i dont

[low epoch]

It’s the internet

[dark junco]

Ohh sure

[formal finch]

msft is taking forever

[dim sentinel]

yeah if you get msft i would go for it ngl

when was ur interview?

[ember stream]

Did u accept that credit card company already?

[formal finch]

yeah im doing tht for sure

[narrow patrol]

yea but what would they reply to the email from credit card company

[dim sentinel]

I think a Lie is the only way

[low epoch]

Yes, do answer. “I have every intention of committing to this opportunity” or something

[narrow patrol]

damn..

[low epoch]

Btw this recruiter is sly af

[narrow patrol]

wouldnt lying make them more pissed?

[dim sentinel]

really is

[dark junco]

Maybe say you actually don't care about microsoft anymore

Had a change of heart

[narrow patrol]

what do you think they would say if @formal finch was honest, like rescind the offer?

[dim sentinel]

I think lying or telling the truth will make them equally pissed

lol

[ember stream]

What did u say about Msft that they said that

[low epoch]

They’re sly and they have a paper trail. 100% can blacklist u

[formal finch]

im thinking of this tbh

[dim sentinel]

yeah

[low epoch]

If he was honest and said “i’m down but if Plan A says yes forget u guys” then it’s auto reject

No question

[formal finch]

i could just blame it on mental health

[dark junco]

Who cares about being blacklisted if he gets microsoft though

[dim sentinel]

then lie is the way no?

[formal finch]

sorry if that's bad

[narrow patrol]

@formal finch curious too tbh

[dark junco]

For sure

[thorn leaf]

this^

[dim sentinel]

could bite him in the future no?

[low epoch]

Yeah tbh everytime reneging comes up and in my limited life wisdom, with reneging u are better off lying

[thorn leaf]

microsoft will propel u to higher higher levels tho

[dark junco]

If he gets microsoft he would never want to work at a credit card company in his life

[dim sentinel]

honestly i dont encourage lying but it seems like a viable way to save urself

[dim sentinel]

I guess

[ember stream]

U have to lie in this scenario

[dim sentinel]

I second that

[pliant hawk]

lying is good

[formal finch]

im just gonna say this

[dim sentinel]

Noooooo

[dark junco]

If you are honest you could end up with 0 offers

[low epoch]

it’s been discussed to death here in recent times but most of us consider that these are unbalanced power dynamics and to the company ur just a number so do what u gotta do

[dim sentinel]

yeah u might not get both

lol

[dim sentinel]

This

[formal finch]

i have decided to continue with MasterCard since the role is pertaining towards SWE instead of SRE

[thorn leaf]

nice

[dim sentinel]

That works

[dark junco]

The company would cancel your internship if it benefitted them, can't take these things personal

[formal finch]

to be fair, it's sre. so im not lying yet

[ember stream]

When did u get the email? U could possibly push off replying too if u think msft will get back to u

[dim sentinel]

what SRE?

site reliability engineer?

[thorn leaf]

research i think

[dim sentinel]

oh

[thorn leaf]

idk

[narrow patrol]

nah i think its devops style

devops/infra https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_reliability_engineering

[ember stream]

This should be a lesson to everyone to give as little information possible

[narrow patrol]

yup i've been super vague with recruiters and it usually works out

[low epoch]

Yeah for sure. Cant blame him either. I’ve been asked

1. What are your pending deadlines
2. From whom

And dont give it much thought

Now I will

[carmine girder]

always lie

always renege

dont give companies any leverage

[low epoch]

Well, there are objectively smart reasons to give deadlines (rushes things)

[ember stream]

Yes

[dark junco]

What should you say to this

[carmine girder]

ok not always lie and renege but do so if itll benefit you

[ember stream]

But u can also lie about deadlines

Say u have one when u don’t

[carmine girder]

yeah i lied about a deadline to get an offer quicker

and then used that new offer to speed up other deadlines

[low epoch]

Ofc, it just sucks that companies can give u 2 weeks to decide so finessing everything to match a timeline is impossible

[shrewd karma]

^^

thats how i got msft to move me off waitlist

it works 😄

[ember stream]

Schwab gives a 3 day exploding offer

[carmine girder]

it helps when you can confidently say a company name when you say you have a deadline

[low epoch]

I guess the lesson is dont say who gave the offer

When asked

[carmine girder]

like it was easier for me to squeeze a company when i said i had tesla

than a mystery company

[low epoch]

Yeah but i assume u were negotiating with a company on par with tesla

OP is referring to one clearly below msft

[carmine girder]

yeah

oh gotcha

[narrow patrol]

yup exactly why recruiter is like "are you sure you are picking us over potentially msft?"

really sly move by recruiter idk the intention there

[pliant hawk]

recruiter playing chess

[carmine girder]

yeah i got asked that for the climate company

[terse torrent]

[carmine girder]

they were like "you don't have to lie if you would pick tesla over us"

like wtf lol

super unprofessional

[terse torrent]

😭

[narrow patrol]

bruh..

[terse torrent]

i think im not gonna be able to accept my offer

[narrow patrol]

did you renege them

[terse torrent]

all that lc for nothing

[carmine girder]

no i didnt get an offer lol i think they saw i hesitated

[narrow patrol]

damnn hahhahah did you get smthn better tho?

[carmine girder]

deciding between tesla, vmware and lyft

probably going lyft

[narrow patrol]

[carmine girder]

[carmine girder]

huge brain

[terse torrent]

close to buffalo

[carmine girder]

just take it and renege if you cant go through with it

[narrow patrol]

bruh

[terse torrent]

isnt that illegal

[narrow patrol]

just get the cheapest apt possible in buffalo

and use that as ur address

never live there

[narrow patrol]

how?

[terse torrent]

but like

they can still know

[narrow patrol]

how could they confirm you live there..

[terse torrent]

its like illegal tax shit

[carmine girder]

thats actually a hugely good move

[terse torrent]

they can check

ur passport

[narrow patrol]

its not illegal at all wtf.

are they gonna barge in ur house or smthn

[carmine girder]

you have like house bills and stuff

[narrow patrol]

how would they know when you stay there

[carmine girder]

you can submit those for taxes

[terse torrent]

IP address

[narrow patrol]

nobody is checking this.. wtf lmao

[terse torrent]

i can vpn but they might be able to tell that im vpning

[carmine girder]

lol the us gov is too stupid to check that

jk but theyre too lazy

[narrow patrol]

company doesnt care to check your ip @terse torrent

they will just ask your address

[pliant hawk]

id be shook lying about tax shit LMAO

[terse torrent]

i dont want to risk that for an internship

[narrow patrol]

thats srsly not lying...

but whatever

[narrow patrol]

thats not lying lol

you could be living there

some days

and not others

[terse torrent]

yk whats sadder

recruiter called to tell me i cant wfh canada

and then was like

[carmine girder]

that isn't lying, but on that note, lying abt taxes for us at this stage really doesn't have huge consequences

college students almost never get audited

[terse torrent]

"so now u have time to decide if u want to go w ur other offer"

ummmm

almost never

[carmine girder]

unless they're making a fuckton of money for whatever reason

[terse torrent]

yeah i would still pay my taxes either way

[carmine girder]

yeah for sure

[terse torrent]

but i dont want to get into sus shit w this

[carmine girder]

definitely do that

[narrow patrol]

no one is lying about taxes jfc

lmao

[carmine girder]

hey everyone commit tax fraud

[pliant hawk]

they cant catch us all

[carmine girder]

^^^

[narrow patrol]

😎

we need wsb emoji

[carmine girder]

its the noble, progressive thing to do

[narrow patrol]

tax fraud to moon 🚀

[carmine girder]

we call this pulling a bezos

[dim sentinel]

what why not?

[thick hare]

@terse torrent did you try pushing to another semester?

[terse torrent]

@thick hare yes I trid

[thick hare]

aww shucks

is it a company you really want to work for?

[carmine girder]

yo unicorn simp

which unicorn are you simping for

[narrow patrol]

hmmm tryna find good pre ipo ones

a lot of them are about to ipo so its kinda too late

out of the hot ones rn tho i like stripe

[carmine girder]

join clubhouse lmao

yeah pre-ipo is a risk though

[narrow patrol]

hmm yeah but i feel its better to take the risk early

at the very least you get some good experience

[carmine girder]

yea thats v fair

plus you have more of an impact probably

[thorny gorge]

do they do interns ?

[carmine girder]

i was mostly joking

but i'm not sure. they're so new

[loud raft]

imagine paying taxes

[terse torrent]

@thick hare yeah i do

I really like the team

:(

[faint musk]

Depends on the time you put in @glossy vapor

id say yes

[weak fjord]

Should you tell companies which company deadlines you have?

Like tell them the name of the company?

Or just tell them the deadline without company?

@fast dagger Do you know this?

[weak fjord]

I'm afraid they're going to tell the other company

[hasty panther]

Anyone heard back from HRT Systems Intern after their OA ?

[sinful tinsel]

Interns usually give lc ez and med right? Rarely they give hards?

Talkin abt the big n companies btw

[patent sluice]

depends on company

but yeah in general its meds for the most part

[elfin thunder]

shit i jus did my bytedance interviews

i couldnt do a simple sql statement 😂

i completely forgot to revise sql

[hasty panther]

Was it for data science ?

[elfin thunder]

nope it was for a backend swe role

it was really simple haha but i couldnt recall the syntax so i just told my interviewer how I would approach it

somehow i managed to still pass that round and they gave me another round after that

not sure how I feel about my chances haha

[muted leaf]

is okta devops same thing as okta swe or diff 🤔

[tropic jungle]

devops != swe

so different

[weak fjord]

Why are some Amazon SDEs given $7k, some $8k and others $9k?

What differentiates the three?

[ionic bronze]

location

[potent oriole]

how much do ppl really make after an internship

[slim creek]

#intern_salary_sharing

[waxen kelp]

is twitch still hiring summer interns?

[umbral turret]

whats tax like

[dark junco]

I don't think interns get taxed that much bc it's based on yearly income

[umbral turret]

oh

i was expecting liek a 40% tax or soemthing, (ive never done an internship b4)

[potent oriole]

yeah so anyone who actually did some could say how much they made at the end pre and post tax

[umbral turret]

yes pls

[gray quarry]

use a tax calculator online

itd be more accurate since you can put in exactly wher you live

[muted leaf]

I know, but was asking if Okta just puts Devops as their "SWE"

I applied for SWE only but the interview is for Devops so I'm confused

Waiting for a response from the recruiter but seems like she's not going to get back to me before the interview lol

[formal finch]

yo anyone interview with Tesla front end team?

[ionic bronze]

it can range from 6k-46k depending on your internship and length lmao

fr tho you can either get paid $18/hr for 11 weeks with $800 stipend or $100/hr at jane street :p

[ancient flower]

does jane street pay the highest for interns?

[ionic bronze]

idk actually

cuz other quants pay like $70 but also give hella bonuses and sign-ons

so not sure

[ancient flower]

oh

oh

hm

from levels

is that accurate

[ionic bronze]

probably

it's been correct for my other offers

not saying i got quants tho kek

[pastel bridge]

I got 2 hards and a med for google lol

But I've usually gotten meds

[simple jay]

its accurate

[terse torrent]

@pastel bridge is that normal for google

[ionic bronze]

[pastel bridge]

For the most part yeah

[terse torrent]

Oml lol

Tell me why Google hires more lower years than fb from my school

😢

[soft hound]

wtf

2 lc hard

dam

[umbral turret]

depends what hards tho

[soft hound]

the bar is getting higher

[ancient flower]

what for

[umbral turret]

is google harder than palantir

[pastel bridge]

Variations of the tagged ones. I didn't prep hard enough tho

[frosty ginkgo]

wasnt like snowflake OA all hards and tiktok OA div 1 codeforces?

so it gets even worse

[pastel bridge]

I didn't get either OA for some reason

Jpm was 2 easies tho

Wait even the Google OA was 2 easies

[ionic bronze]

man i wasn't even trying to humble brag 😦

[terse moat]

I had a final round SE interview with Walmart on Thursday and still haven’t heard back from them. My friend didn’t get past the first round live interview and they didn’t send him a rejection but they sent me an invite to the final round the next day. Is it safe to assume that I’ve been rejected?

Basically what I’m asking is does Walmart send rejection emails or only acceptance emails

[sinful tinsel]

so if im someone is doin lc premium for the first time, its a waste of time doing ez if im tryna get into big n company right?

[timber solar]

Yo,
I have an interview with Blizzard in an hour

Anyone gave it here?

[ancient flower]

https://www.levels.fyi/internships/

[twilit mesa]

im not sure, you could ask your recruiter about a timeline

[sinful tinsel]

is dis for swe or new grad? wod u recommend doing hards just to be safe?

[flat vine]

where did they get the name for ByteDance? it really seems like they just took two seemingly unrelated words and put them next to each other. I feel like it could have just as easily been ByteWaltz or ByteTango. any thoughts on why CEOs don't know how to choose decent names

[terse moat]

yea i did. unfortunately very unresponsive

[pastel bridge]

Swe intern

Yeah going though hards would prob be good

[sinful tinsel]

alright, makes sense

@pastel bridge wod u recommend me startin with ez first if im new to lc, and than solely transition to doing majority med, than hard?

or just go straight to meds and dont waste time?

[pastel bridge]

If you took data structs before then idt easies r worth the time

I haven't yet so I did easies while learning data structs

[sinful tinsel]

ah

[frosty ginkgo]

i think a few easies per common data structure is useful

since usually the easies just ask you to do a simple implementation of one so its a good refresher if ur rusty

[shrewd karma]

which team/org?

[runic tinsel]

would appreciate some advice

I was reached out for a final 60 minute interview for next week but I'm flying home to India this saturday. Should I postpone my flight because the interview would most likely be late night/early morning?

[cyan valley]

I think they would understand if you have a flight to India.

[runic tinsel]

Oh but the jetlag and the interview timing might be off

That's my only concern

[faint musk]

Wouldn't it maybe make more sense to postpone the interview, citing an international flight?

[real fern]

for amazon in OA2 are we allowed to use the standard lib in python, like heapq or collections? as in import collections

[ashen needle]

i was really supposed to have a call with cto of startup and i think i got ghosted

feelsbad

said he'd get back to me when hes free after he ditched a call

then i followed up and he still ghost

[formal finch]

T-Mobile gave me the L and talk about me working as retail employee

[simple saffron]

i had a call with a CTO of a startup once

it was awful

he said i looked like "i hadn't suffered enough" and would never be able to "catch up with these engineers with aspergers who have been coding since they were in middle school"

[lethal ore]

Oh that sucks

Hopefully you got better offers after that

[faint musk]

wow thats ridiculous that someone would say that

[hallow cedar]

that doesn't sound like a startup I wanna work for

[heavy scroll]

Sounds like you dodged a terrible work environment

[simple saffron]

yeah he was a dick

idrc now but it kinda rattled me as a sophomore just looking for opportunities

[terse torrent]

some cto wanted me to bribe him with paying for coffee when i looked for internships in hs

i didnt pcik up on the hint at the time

real scummy tho

[simple saffron]

yeah fuck c-suite people who belittle/try to take advantage of young students

[fleet cairn]

what the fuck

thats some next level scum lol

[terse torrent]

welcome to peach farm land

i bet by new grad it will still be impossible to find a tech job here where i live

[modern lintel]

for my internship i have the option to going remote or some hybrid thing where i'm in the city and i maybe go to the office

anyone have exp with hybrid trying to decide what i should do

[ionic bronze]

remote is chill

[low epoch]

if you're the kinda person who could really use a change of pace and feel like traveling why the hell not

do hybrid if so but objectively and for most cases, remote is better probably

[ionic bronze]

never underestimate the power of being able to wake up late, be 5 mins till stand up , put on a shirt and be ready for it

[low epoch]

what about no shirt

[ionic bronze]

[modern lintel]

lol

[ionic bronze]

fr tho i love my remote job so much

I can clock in and clock out whenever pretty much

take a nap midday

etc

[modern lintel]

yea i'm remote rn for another internship

don't feel to into it though

i'll probably go hybrid just bc i like the location

[ionic bronze]

o where at?

[modern lintel]

Colorado

[ionic bronze]

🍀 🍀

[modern lintel]

lol

[flat vine]

i travel 30 mins for some kabob and i left my card at home

im on suicide watch

[abstract wagon]

Rejection email from T Mobile. Did they set out to create the worst subject line possible?

[thick ridge]

damn they rejected you in that email?

they can go fuck themselves lol

u dodged a bullet

[abstract wagon]

The one someone mentioned earlier where they suggest you work as a retail employee

I mean I already got an internship and this application was from like september so idc. Just hilarious to me

[turbid river]

what was the invitation?

[abstract wagon]

To keep applying to their jobs

Or work as a retail employee

[turbid river]

yeah that's some absolute garbage lmao

[lethal ore]

Was this resume reject?

[junior elk]

has anyone ever mentioned an interview they have coming up while messaging a recruiter?

will that work if i wanna interview with the recruiters company

[cyan valley]

no

[junior elk]

damn

i was thinking maybe they would be incentivised to give me an interview

[faint musk]

bro t-mobile rejection emails are so funny

like why tf would they call that an invite when its the same as all the others

clickbaiters

[dark junco]

I just got that t-mobile rejection lmao

[bitter onyx]

same lol

the invitation def leads to a oh yay next round

then its like apply to retail

[young flower]

yes I just had my first round with them

[formal finch]

anyone that did Tesla OA? Do you need to get perfect 100 to move on?

[vital elbow]

lmao tmobile really out here baiting us

[pliant hawk]

fuck tmobile

[narrow patrol]

[ionic bronze]

lmfaoo

[pliant hawk]

dogwater company

[modern lintel]

[abstract wagon]

big pee pee poo poo

[proven sage]

Anyone know how difficult Twitter interviews are?

[frosty ginkgo]

y'all use card?

i'm so anxious on it not working that I go to a bank and then withdraw money to make a purchase irl

[pine bay]

They send a guide when u get ur interview scheduled and normally u can kinda tell how hard it's going to be

[lone orbit]

So much disrespect..

[bitter onyx]

you use cash for all purchases?

[frosty ginkgo]

all irl purchases yes

[bitter onyx]

card doesnt work for you or?

[abstract wagon]

just carry cash too

having a card isn't just about easy payments

building your credit score is going to help you in the long run

[twilit mesa]

what happened to magic kirb

[flat vine]

i also don't carry cash on me haha but this experience is making me reconsider

[abstract wagon]

D:

[flat vine]

they didn't accept apple pay either

[abstract wagon]

F
