Eh I heard about 70% make it

craggy shuttle
#

seriously?

weak oracle
#

something like that

craggy shuttle
#

i used to think 70-80% is for microsoft

lilac cloak
#

not a target company, but i got my first internship in march 2020

tardy minnow
#

anyone know what the return offer chance is for apple?

lilac cloak
#

(fidelity)

low epoch
#

Does that make this discord a labor camp

narrow patrol
#

istg i know like 10 soph here w/ amazon

#

i dont think its that normal tho this server is just pretty stacked

ionic bronze
#

i wonder which is more stacked

cohort of a t10 uni, or this server kekw

weak oracle
#

honestly in terms of just ability to get internships probs this server

dark junco
#

This server easily

weak oracle
#

There are plenty of people in Cornell CS who couldn't pass a leetcode interview

ionic bronze
#

ooof

weak oracle
#

Maybe like MIT might be better than this group tho

#

or Stanford

restive falcon
#

this server is also massive

#

literally 14k+ members

dim sentinel
#

How many ppl are active lol

#

That’s the key question

weak oracle
#

about 3000

#

are online rn

restive falcon
#

yea fair point

dim sentinel
#

500 that type and chat

#

I would say

restive falcon
#

we have many lurkers tho 🙂

#

literally i get so many msgs from ppl who've never typed

thorn leaf
#

ppl who also got internships and finished their search either leave or stop being active and lurk

pliant hawk
#

this server goated

low epoch
#

just from being on the process channels, you get the impression here is more stacked (as a proportion) than target school, yeah

#

everyone here is laser focused on getting job

#

or shitposting

pliant hawk
#

sometimes both

final hawk
#

so i believe in everyone meow_coffee

soft hound
#

bruh no way its 500

please dont ghost

pliant hawk
#

Is that an extension? Like seeing if they opened it

dim sentinel
formal finch
thorn leaf
formal finch
#

I know some extension tell the other person that u r using email track

thorn leaf
#

yeah, i have one called Ugly Email

formal finch
#

does any of those tell the other person u r using an email tracker

thorn leaf
#

ugly email does

#

email track, hunter.io etc all fulfil the purpose of just tracking emails

inland bloom
dim sentinel
#

Imagine getting a message from apple recruiter

thorn leaf
#

ugly email tracks email trackers

dim sentinel
#

The dream

final hawk
#

i don't think recruiters care whether or not you use an email tracker

final hawk
#

idk it hasn't really caused me any problems before

thorn leaf
#

ive gotten more replies when i didnt have my tracker on

#

thats what i noticed

#

could just be placebo or plain luck

final hawk
#

yea could be

lilac cloak
#

idgi

#

whats the point of email tracker

pliant hawk
#

see if they opened it and ghosted u or if they never opened it and ghosted u

lilac cloak
#

youve been ghosted either way

abstract wagon
lilac cloak
#

huh

#

am confused

abstract wagon
#

so you know a few hours early

lilac cloak
#

bruh

pliant hawk
#

what in the fuck

thorn leaf
#

yea those trackers are great, its just that if they have those extensions which can track email trackers, u dont really know how theyll feel about being email tracked

lilac cloak
#

i don't quite understand

#

seems like they're not useful in helping you do anything no?

#

since your course of action never changes based on whether or not they read it

thorn leaf
#

lets say u get ghosted

#

without them opening the email

#

its nice to know if its for sure that they ghost u after chekcing ur email out

lilac cloak
#

is it?

thorn leaf
#

vs not opening ur email at all

lilac cloak
#

these companies are not your buddies

#

if they dont invite to interview/take OA within a reasonable amount of time you just presume they've ghosted you and move on

thorn leaf
#

not really

lilac cloak
#

best case they didnt actually ghost you and contact you in the future

#

but either way, you'll know if they're interested

thorn leaf
#

i sent a cold email to a recruiter and 2.5-3 weeks later they sent me interview request

#

i mean, ur right, at the end of the day ur ghosted regardless

lilac cloak
#

it's not like you're waiting for that one company

#

it really doesn't change your course of action

#

like i applied to amason sept 12th, got OA in the mail around nov 14th

#

not like u twiddle ur thumbs waiting for them in tech

thorn leaf
#

but thats different bruh

#

doesnt involve any emailing to any human to get that OA

lilac cloak
#

i think it's pretty similar; you send something out, and you hear back if they're interested

thorn leaf
#

lol

lilac cloak
#

idk this email tracker thing seems really pointless to me

#

you dont change your course of action, so i dont see a reason to use it

thorn leaf
#

if i send a cold email to recruiter A from company A and i see that they opened it and ghosted, now if i really liked company A, i can email recruiter B from company A. but if i see that recruiter A did not open yet, maybe i should just wait before i try emailing recruiter B from company A

abstract wagon
lilac cloak
#

also, some companies have blocklists

thorn leaf
#

now u gotta tell one recruiter "oops haha ur friend in another dept is helping me out haha i dont need u anymore thanks"

lilac cloak
#

that's fine no?

abstract wagon
#

you can know if a company is ghosting or just havent gotten to your email yet

lilac cloak
#

just ask them to merge

lilac cloak
#

ask them to merge the apps*

thorn leaf
#

its not really a big deal

#

if u dont wanna use it then dont use it KEKW

abstract wagon
#

doesnt change action but you can have some peace of mind

thorn leaf
#

but i stopped using email trackers myself

abstract wagon
thorn leaf
#

i noticed i didnt get as many responses when my tracker was on vs when it was off, could just be plain luck or placebo idk. cuz there are extensions to track email trackers

abstract wagon
#

programming projects for resume:

  1. bot to apply to companies
  2. program to find recruiter emails
  3. untrackable mail tracker
low epoch
#

Lol i remember on r/cscq when someone shared a website to apply to like 100 tech companies at once

#

And like a few hrs later post was gone and site deleted

#

Makers definitely got banished to shadow realm

lilac cloak
#

got hit with the cease and desist

pliant hawk

p sure you had to pay to apply too

#

"they" as in who?

#

what are the benefits of tracking

abstract wagon
#

oh

agile saffron

#

oa 2

torpid wraith
#

feels like 28

agile saffron
#

it says complete within 5 days, is it ok if i take 6?

#

does ti mean 5 business days?

craggy shuttle
#

No

#

u need to do it within 5 days of that email

#

@agile saffron

agile saffron
#

or what?

#

Automatic rejection?

craggy shuttle
#

idk

#

i think u should prob do it within 4 days itself to be on a safer side

agile saffron
#

for other places ive heard of people submitting it late

#

And being fine

#

also its a weekend

craggy shuttle
#

I mean its ur test, u can try lol.

agile saffron
#

ill see

craggy shuttle
#

but i wouldnt recommend

weak oracle
#

@agile saffron honestly you should do all three in like 2 days

#

like objectively speaking

#

People miss out on offers cause last spot gets taken

craggy shuttle
#

how many days do they take ? to get back to us after OA ? for final ?

#

@weak oracle

weak oracle
#

I had two rounds after OAs, idk if that's typical

craggy shuttle
#

2 rounds what the hell

weak oracle
#

Well I'm ML so I had an extra interview to make sure I knew my ML stuff

craggy shuttle
#

oh i see

weak oracle
#

ask @lilac cloak if he had 2 rounds

craggy shuttle
#

doing summer right ?

weak oracle
#

I interviewed for summer but trying to get it extended into fall rn

#

we'll see how that goes

craggy shuttle
#

any other offers

#

?

weak oracle
#

Not yet

#

I could def do J&J again but going from $60/hr to $20/hr is objectively painful

craggy shuttle
#

true!

weak oracle

It’s fine I was planning on graduating a year early in May 2021 and had that on my resume but cause of covid I’m taking a gap year and graduating May 2022

#

I just told my summer internship I changed my grad date to a year later and they were cool with it and gave me a return internship instead of a return full time offer

final hawk

craggy shuttle

Oa before getting the "Thanks for applying" email!

dreamy perch
#

why these internships so hard to get

#

being a freshman is so hard

vivid lintel
#

because companies have very little upside for taking on an intern who is still 3 years away from graduating

Idk I applied to a lot of internships and the only ones I got an interview for where STEP and APP and another company.

dark junco
#

Interesting, are you URM? Maybe that affects it. I got a handful of interviews and an offer for a normal internship but no STEP interview

weak oracle
#

Summer

#

My application was specific to the team

#

It was a seperate interview process

frosty ginkgo

You didn't get regular swe interviews for goog/fb?

craggy shuttle

How much time it takes for Oa3

#

amazon ?

#

just completed OA 2

#

30 mins back

#

but still havent recd the new email for part 3 yet

ionic bronze
#

2 hours

weak oracle
#

You get 2 hours probs finish in like 1.2

#

But do take it seriously

ionic bronze
#

it does take a long time

#

yeah it's like a VN

weak oracle
#

VN?

ionic bronze
#

visual novel

weak oracle
#

Ah yeah

craggy shuttle
#

long time ?

weak oracle
#

Just make sure you have a couple hours set aside just in case

#

And please please please study LPs first

craggy shuttle
#

this only right

#

?

weak oracle
#

Yeee

craggy shuttle
#

yeah will prolly do OA 3 tomm or day after tomm. and hope to get interview soon

weak oracle
#

They’re gonna make you make decisions and you’ll want to pick the one that exemplifies the leadership principles

craggy shuttle
#

How many days it take to schedule the final?

#

after OA 3 ?

weak oracle
#

So basically I got told I had a phone interview the day after OA3

#

And the day after that it was scheduled

#

For my second phone interview it took about a week to schedule

craggy shuttle
#

within 2 days ?

ionic bronze
#

wait wtf

#

second phone?

#

i thought this was the final'

weak oracle
#

You aren’t ML

craggy shuttle
#

Prolly we will be having one technical now right ?

weak oracle
#

So you have one

ionic bronze
#

o

weak oracle
#

My first interview was literally only ML, didn’t get asked a leetcode

#

Had to walk through a past ML project in detail, answer a few theory questions, and implement a loss function for CV in code

#

My second round is closer to what you should expect

#

Leetcode Medium
Follow up Question (e.g. input no longer fits in RAM)

#

Maybe a System Design question

craggy shuttle
#

u got sys design ?

weak oracle
#

Just a baby system design

#

I had to create a map reduce solution to the problem

#

I think it was just like a bonus question don’t think I was supposed to get it right

craggy shuttle
#

ahh. and i will be getting the OA 3 now right ? because some people are rejected after OA 2 ?

weak oracle
#

Everyone gets OA3 afaik

craggy shuttle
#

hmm okay okay

#

and interview ?

weak oracle
#

Not everyone gets interview

#

Depends on OA performance

craggy shuttle
#

which OA ?

weak oracle
#

All of them

craggy shuttle
#

1 2 or 3?

weak oracle
#

Aggregate score

craggy shuttle
#

any priority ?

weak oracle
#

No one knows

craggy shuttle
#

okay i got part 3

#

lol

#

just now

weak oracle
#

👍

craggy shuttle
#

Hope i do well!

weak oracle
#

leadership principles

umbral turret
#

part 3 has a lot of weight

weak oracle
#

^^

ionic bronze
#

be sure to succ customer cocc

#

@weak oracle curious, there was an LP question that had to do with deadline less features vs. miss deadline more features

#

which did you pick?

#

I generally went with "get it to customer asap and maximize essentials"

weak oracle
#

Miss deadline more features lol

#

Customer asked for specific things

silk ridge
#

i swear i missed every deadline i could and apparently it was an ok decision

weak oracle
#

Customer most important

#

CUSTOMER OBSESSION

ionic bronze
#

Idk wouldn't the customer want it asap

#

?

weak oracle
#

I mean the customer specifically deemed those features as required

#

Was my opinion

#

But if you made it to interview stage, it’s not gonna affect anything at this point

#

So just do well on that

ionic bronze
#

Oh am just concerned they'll ask LP questions tomorrow

weak oracle
#

Also I think the complaint by the guy was something like “it’s not our job to do that” which is the opposite of the take ownership leadership principle

#

Which repulsed me to pick the other option

yeah I got the OA1 like two weeks ago

#

Idk why yours took so long tbh

split fractal
#

yep, for such a gigantic company their response and speed time on average is so good

#

yeah, but after I got my offer my recruiter was insane

ionic bronze
#

Except the scheduling the final part kekw

#

yep mine was a non usual situation, can't complain about it

#

they gave me wrong location salary

#

they fixed that + gave cpt letter for intl. student within 1 day after offer

#

Shiit good thing they're on top of that

split fractal
#

although amazon university on the other hand

#

do be taking their own sweeet time

ionic bronze
#

@split fractal btw how was sde final?

Just to be sure, 1-2 LC easy-hard, semi behavioral?

split fractal
#

yeah behavioral is hella easy

#

just be excited about what you're speaking about

#

and say the words, client/customer, and especially "dive deep"

#

that'll be for like 5-10min tops

#

then code only yep

ionic bronze
#

Deep dive?

split fractal
#

just say you really had to dive deep when you were solving the issue or delivering something

#

or basically say you had to go into really good detail, and deliberate on pros and cons

#

just give one detailed answer

#

but don't go tooo detailed that you lose LP part, make some examples now

ionic bronze
#

man I gotta get my brain together lmao

weak oracle
#

I hope you made LP answers lol

#

Ofc you might not get asked any but i heard most people do

ionic bronze
#

REE

#

What do y'all mean by LP answers btw?

Are they literally gonna pull an LP out and be like "okay gimme an example of where u exemplified this"

weak oracle
#

No, they asked a question that’s related to a leadership principle like “tell me about a time you failed” or something

#

And hopefully you have an answer preplanned

#

@split fractal are you gonna be Seattle?

split fractal
#

likely going to be remote

#

but I'm choosing hybrid

#

I think they will make everyone remote 60 days out imo

#

my CPT letter is worded in a way that it could go eitherway

weak oracle
#

Yeah I’m hoping by the fall they let in person at least so I can have a few good months

#

Cause remote can be kinda depressing ngl

@glossy vapor what company?

yeah but

#

they'll expend so many man hours training you

#

and if you're not the right candidate then they just wasted all of their time lmao

frosty ginkgo
#

dont hedge funds have like 5-8?

and like 4-7 rounds

abstract wagon
#

Can we do a thing where we aggregate all the OAs and interview questions we got last year?
It would be very helpful to know which kinda questions you should prepare for each company

abstract wagon
#

Naaaah

#

There's already leetcode for that

#

It's even more now probably

obtuse spruce
#

wondering if I should continue to nag a recruiter about an intern position I applied for? So I initially sent a connection request pitching myself to recruiter X, then they accepted my connection but have not said anything yet. Is it worth it to continue the conversation further? or would that be annoying to them?

remote geyser
#

Question: What exactly is a hiring manager/round?

#

how does a hiring manager/hiring manager call differ from a recruiter call?

#

so its not an engineering manager then ?

vivid lintel
#

Yea it's usually an engineering manager

#

But even still it's usually a behavioral round with engineering managers

remote geyser
#

o

vivid lintel
#

Because it's the person in charge of hiring or filling the role

#

It's kinda like scrum master

#

Rarely is that someone's dedicated role

#

But rather it's a function that's part of their overall role

#

Engineering managers do many things, being involved in hiring is one of them

how long did it take for an amazon recruiter to follow back?

ionic bronze
#

hey if i get rejected by Amazon, how long will it take?

#

like 2 days right?

weak oracle
#

Was the interview that bad sad_kermit

#

But anyway 2 business days after interview you hear if feedback was positive or not

#

then you hear if you're getting offer like 2 days after that

ionic bronze
#

@weak oracle nah didn't take it yet

#

taking it in two hours

#

also you hear feedback before offer decision??

#

whathefuck

When housing is 3500 a month then yeah you include it lol

Yeah bloomberg probably pays more than most lol

Just cuz of the completion bkbus

they probably lost so many of their interns to Amazon kekw
