sounds about right

charred roost
#

Yeah I've been paying for an empty apartment too lol

#

It sucks

#

I had rented out the apartment for the fall semester

#

But no one wanted it for the spring rip

hasty panther
#

Vinodh how is it going bro ?

charred roost
#

Hopefully, if i get an internship at my schools research park, I can use my apartment

charred roost
hasty panther
#

Long time no see

charred roost
#

How's the internship search going

hasty panther
#

Gave up on it after a couple of offers lol

charred roost
#

Lmao nice

#

I'm still struggling to get OAs and interviews lmao sadge

#

Tho I do got a behavioral one later today

hasty panther
#

I wanted to work in a trading firm but ended up choosing a gaming company lol

charred roost
#

just before a midterm : D

charred roost
hasty panther
#

I am more afraid of behavioral than coding interviews

#

Praying for you

charred roost
#

Lol thanks

hasty panther
charred roost
#

I'm terrified of coding interviews

#

I can't think out loud when coding lol

#

Which is a problem

hasty panther
#

Behavioral interviews are an indirect way to perpetual racist hiring

thick ridge
hasty panther
#

But that's just my opinion, and people can disagree with it

charred roost
#

I can see what you're getting at lol

#

This interview is only on the phone tho, no video

#

So it shouldn't hurt me in that way

#

But still yea

hasty panther
#

Like in the Palantir final, I talked about a diversity feature that I added to the app in my previous internship

#

And the guy was like, how do you know the diversity stuff wasn't BS

#

I was like wtf

soft hound
#

wtf

charred roost
#

damn

soft hound
#

bruh lul

charred roost
#

really tried calling you out lmao

hasty panther
#

He was like many companies do that to promote their PR and he was like how do you know that wasn't BS

charred roost
#

Damn

slim creek
#

lol this guy has no chill

thick ridge
#

asshole interviewer

shrewd karma
#

"We especially encourage students from communities that are historically underrepresented in STEM to apply. This includes (but is not limited to) individuals from ethnic/racial minority groups, women, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ+ community." from the Palantir Path website

slim creek
#

probably palantir diversity is bs

hasty panther
#

Also , the guy was super white .

charred roost
shrewd karma
#

if u pointed out palantir path that wouldve been contradictory

charred roost
#

i'd think that too

#

I'm don't think they would've appreciated being called out on their BS diversity thing lmao

torn dagger
#

for my algo class i gotta record myself mock interviewing myself

#

thisll be fun

hasty panther
#

Not saying evey white guy in Palantir is like that but I can see why they were sued in 2018 for discriminating against Asians

ember stream
slim creek
#

imagine a class actually preparing for interviews

torn dagger
#

my prof made us do 3 weeks of DP

ember stream
#

mock interviews would have been good

hasty panther
torn dagger
#

but she didnt explain it well at all

ember stream
#

an interview prep class would be great

slim creek
#

good eye contact KEKW

ember stream
#

something like Intro to Tech Interviews 101

charred roost
#

That would be nice

#

We've got a resume writing class at my uni lol

#

Resume writing + cover letter + professional emails

#

And it counts as an upper level writing class

hasty panther
#

She is preparing you to be a future Youtuber explaining algorithms to college freshmen

torn dagger
#

wtf

ember stream
torn dagger
#

channel my inner BacktoBackSWE

charred roost
#

I think there's one for tech too

ember stream
#

cuz ppl in the business school writing resumes is a lot different

slim creek
#

my school has that too

#

prof complained my resume buzzwords are “too technical”

charred roost
#

lmao

ember stream
#

ya, a lot of them just don't know

slim creek
#

said buzzword being fucking hadoop

ember stream
#

I want something like intro to the tech interview 101

#

and ur homework every week is to do specific LC problems

#

It would force me to actually prep

charred roost
#

lmao

#

That would be pretty cool

flat vine
charred roost
#

You could probably petition for something like that to exist

ember stream
#

and go over solutions in class

torn dagger
#

everytime i get a white interviewer, they always friendly and talkative

ember stream
#

Ya I've talked to the dean about it and he said it was a cool idea

still gazelle
#

Anyone else get smartsheet OA

abstract wagon
#

in my exp indian interviewers are nicest but their accents make it hard to understand
although one told me my code wasn't very good on a take home but to be fair it was trash
no trends among white interviewers
some asian interviewers were kind of condescending

soft hound
ancient flower
#

did you find anything worth?

charred roost
#

Not really

#

But I only looked for like 15 minutes

#

So you could find something

ancient flower
#

oh okay lol

#

Hey, just q quick questions, so i got tesla phone but the job role is for QA testing with the QA manager itself, whereas I am not interested in that role. Shall i do the interview and ask the manager that I am looking for other role or cancel the interview scheduled ?

abstract wagon
#

anyone have nvidia emails?

craggy shuttle
#

do they consider cold emailing ?

formal finch
#

to be fair, I only interview with like two Asian interviewers

#

Very small sample size

abstract wagon
#

most interviewers are either monotone or neutral
some in security are excited about their work and it really makes me want to work there

formal finch
#

tbh I just hope that my Apple interviewer really excited

#

I’m been Apple fanboy since the iPod 4th gen came out

#

so, we can simp about Apple

#

lol

#

That’s literally how I did well on Tesla yesterday lol

charred roost
abstract wagon
#

my interviewers for apple were both neutral @formal finch

formal finch
craggy shuttle
#

wish we could get a look by apple

#

lol\

formal finch
craggy shuttle
#

but congrats

#

hope u get it

formal finch
#

thanks

#

my first interviewer at Apple expected me to know grad level math

abstract wagon
#

all FAANG interviewers were meh
they werent emotional but not bored

#

(idk about netflix)

charred roost
#

Yeah my Facebook interviewer was kinda monotone

#

He just said "Ok welcome to the interview, tell me about yourself, here is the problem"

#

and then when I was walking them through my thought process and solution, they were focused on other things rip

abstract wagon
#

patreon and lyft seemed bored to tears and half asleep

#

made me turned off

formal finch
#

nah they just don’t wanna deal with interviewing

#

they prob rather go to work and code

abstract wagon
charred roost
#

yeah makes sense

#

my dude was a software engineer so he probably wanted to go back to his code

#

instead of listening to me speak utter nonsense to him lol

craggy shuttle
#

same mine Cb interviewer was having so much of noise in the background

abstract wagon
#

not listening to you sweating nervously or giving a fucj

ancient flower
#

one has a requirement that says attended summit

craggy shuttle
charred roost
#

Guess he didn't want me hearing his keyboard go click clack

craggy shuttle
#

#

charred roost
#

No lol

craggy shuttle

abstract wagon
charred roost
#

formal finch
#

I’m not gonna lie. MSFT interview was the only interview that I actually enjoyed

#

He was so chill and we just talked about my side projects

#

He ghosted fucked out of me

abstract wagon
#

mine was weird and no lc

formal finch
#

he even said you def moving up

#

craggy shuttle
#

charred roost
#

It really do be like that sometimes

craggy shuttle
#

formal finch
#

abstract wagon
#

same i was asked about projects then ghosted

craggy shuttle
#

why false hopes

formal finch
#

I never moved up

abstract wagon
#

idk what position it was

formal finch
#

#

It’s SRE

craggy shuttle
#

formal finch
charred roost
#

Have a Ubuntu partition ready to go

#

Haven't booted into it in months lol

formal finch
#

lmao I did boot camp on my mac and it’s so slow

abstract wagon
#

google was weird
usually in security interviews its like a conversation
he just grilled me with questions
idk of he was even listening
just ok next question sfter each answer

formal finch
#

this was my Tesla interviewer

#

he grinded me on js questions

#

He was neutral

#

The recruiter told me that he gave positive feedback

#

so, I moved up to final

abstract wagon
quaint veldt
#

Anyone know if Intel still has spots

charred roost
#

Yeah another reason why I stopped using Linux on my laptop was battery life sadly

abstract wagon
charred roost
#

Ubuntu cut like 5 hours off my total battery life

#

Which was a lot when on campus

abstract wagon
#

i have 3 linux laptops i dont use

craggy shuttle
#

Apple boys would take TEsla ?

#

@abstract wagon

formal finch
#

Apple > Tesla

craggy shuttle
#

true!

formal finch
#

Big pay check and pretty impactful work

craggy shuttle
#

Apple >>>>>> TESLA

abstract wagon
#

formal finch
#

Also FTE is a lot better at Apple

abstract wagon
craggy shuttle
#

Apppleeee

charred roost
#

Even with my discrete gpu disabled

abstract wagon
#

tesla ghosted me so it must be better

charred roost
#

abstract wagon

they do resume screenign after that

charred roost
#

#

craggy shuttle
#

#

OA is to filter the applicants

How long after OA do they send rejection?

weak fjord
craggy shuttle
#

u might get interview

#

weak fjord
#

Yeah but how long after OA would I know?

#

weak fjord
charred roost
#

Nope

soft hound

#

and then another one after

weak fjord
#

What about eBay?

#

How does one get an OA for FB?

#

Should I email recruiters?

rain kite
#

are you guys applying to FB with previous faang?

worthy terrace
#

Yeah I emailed a university recruiter and got one

weak fjord
charred roost
#

Oh I didn't get any OA for FB

#

Recruiter just emailed me and shoved me into an interview slot

weak fjord
#

Are you international @charred roost ?

rain kite
#

oh wow

weak fjord
#

Did you just apply online and a recruiter emailed you after that?

charred roost
worthy terrace
#

Oh wait sorry I got confused, I didn't get an OA, I emailed a recruiter and got a phone screen

charred roost
weak fjord
charred roost
#

I applied for Product Engineering and the recruiter said I"d be interviewing for SWE

worthy terrace
#

Yeah they just email you whenver for whatever and shove you into an interview slot

charred roost
#

Yep

#

They emailed me last friday

#

and said I'd interview on Tuesday

worthy terrace
#

the usual

weak fjord
#

Did you literally say 'I would die to work here' lol?

#

Also how do you find recruiter emails?

charred roost
#

Google

#

There are a few articles on how to optimize your google search for such things lol

#

You could also look on LinkedIn

worthy terrace
#

No I just made it very clear I'm interested in working there and give a 2-3 sentence summary on who i am/my experience/where i go to school/etc

#

yeah finding recruiters emails is just a matter of googling and linkedin searching

weak fjord
#

LinkedIn doesn't list emails from what I've seen

worthy terrace
#

Recruiters have them in their summaries

#

What do you think constitutes a LC medium as opposed to an LC easy

weak fjord
#

LC medium probably requires more ds

#

Like map/set

weak fjord
#

Cause idk what differentiates FB from like Apple/Google

worthy terrace
#

Idk I just made something up because I actually fucking hate Facebook

weak fjord
#

Lol, looks like you did a good job though

worthy terrace
#

I said like "I'm passionate about data and using it to better the lives of users, whether that's to enhance how connected we all are or to better lives - I think no one does this better than Facebook."

#

like actually bullshit

Amazon is cutting stipend by $4 an hour
but I mean, they're still paying 60/hr so can't really complain

remote geyser
#

60 is nutty lol

weak oracle
#

inclusive, they aren't paying 70 😭

#

though technically it's 50/hr + (10/hr tax free stipend)

#

so it's probably about 63 per hour, with 68 for in person people. The bay area pay is even nuttier tho

im suprirsed the amazon takes location a factor in pay

the housing stipend drops by 600 a month basically if you are remote in a non high CoL location

#

I'm still waiting to hear back for my QA/SWET interview hopefully I get an offer and more than 36 haha

abstract wagon
#

fallow drum
#

but if a normal swe is getting 36 then I'll probably be getting much lower

#

austin tx

abstract wagon
#

yea it was auto

fallow drum
#

My interview didn't even have any lc lmao

stone tiger
#

@weak fjord It wasnt auto for me. Took me weeks to get it

abstract wagon

Lyft vs Amazon? (for junior year internship hoping to convert to full time)

thick ridge
#

lyft no doubt

#

higher comp

lean nexus
#

2x amazon reject
based and bananapilled

thick ridge
#

no bias here craughing

#

no but on the real it probably depends on a bunch of things

#

but I'm inclined to go lyft given the only factors are comp/wlb/team

frail birch
#

yeah i don't know team for either so i guess that part will be luck

lilac cloak
#

idk where lyft is in the race for automated drivers

formal finch
#

Anyone started the quizlet interview process?

lilac cloak
#

automated driving takes away the biggest pain point in their business model

frail birch
#

which was disappointing as i was really stoked about self-driving

fallow drum
#

@lean nexus damn thats a pretty large range

#

tho one person I talked to here was 50

lean nexus
#

oh noice, the 40 number was from a medium sized tech company so im sure the range is even higher i think it's more like 15-50

fallow drum
#

@lean nexus oh wait are you saying for austin tx in general? Thought you were talking about specifically ebay haha

lean nexus
#

austin tx in general, i didn't know you were talking about ebay lol

fallow drum
#

gotcha my bad lmao

Probably study medium leetcode, and then read Amazon's leadership principles. Pretty easy.

charred roost
#

rng stands for random number generator

#

but ppl use rng to just mean random

#

he just means that the difficulty of the questions you get will be random

velvet badge
#

I got LC hard for fb so it’s RNG

#

Has anyone done Walmart OA? What can I expect

#

Bet thanks. How’s the interview process like? Do they ask LC questions

#

Wait fr?? Like a take home design assignment or something?

#

Gotcha. Do they give you an offer if they like it? Like are there more rounds after that?

#

Ooh okay that makes more sense, appreciate it

#

Rejected from both FAANG interviews so I’ll need it prayge

#

Amazon final hit me with the quick DP

#

Must say DP lives up to its name sadge

#

Is Walmart auto-sending OA’s for fun or are they actively recruiting still

amason fall opens up in march, according to some boston amazonians

#

if you had conflicting offers, asp was only willing to move forward

#

i guess their strategy changed

#

wait thats kinda broken

#

people getting fall offers before the fall app is even open

#

@abstract wagon ????

Y'all ever think about applying somewhere and you see this:

lunar dagger
fast beacon
#

Or "round 2"

#

It's just the coding questions but there isnt much on the internet for it

#

for the program that is

lunar dagger
#

Yeah its super low key

fast beacon
#

not for the code lmao the code is easy

#

so should i do it?

lunar dagger
#

If you don't have a better offer, go for it

#

It's still microsoft

#

you can write microsft new tech intern on your resume lmao

fast beacon
#

ill see

#

it's the only big company that has reached out to me, cuz it is microsoft

lunar dagger
#

Also when did u get your interview notification?

fast beacon
#

tesla and apple never reply to me

#

4 hours ago

lunar dagger
#

I applied the day the app opened with refferal and still haven't heard

fast beacon
#

I had a referral from a friend

#

I think theyre just now getting to them

#

I have this and a dod interview coming up

lunar dagger
#

Oh sweet

fast beacon
#

im in San antonio so I am new to all of this

lunar dagger
#

What yr are you?

fast beacon
#

by credits, sopohmore

#

year, i am freshman

#

second semester

lunar dagger
#

Niceeee

fast beacon
#

but I had alot of credits from high school

lunar dagger
#

Ngl you're doing mad well for a freshman

#

Most ppl I know couldn't get any decent internships as a freshman

#

Besides a few at no name companies

#

And one of my friends at mit got capital one

#

but that's it

fast beacon
#

god i wish i went toi mit

#

im surprised i got this much from any company

#

my dad works at usaa and i didnt even get accepted from them

#

for an internship

lunar dagger
#

big rip

#

dw too much tho

#

it's mostly bc ur a freshman

#

shits tough out here

#

most companies are looking for juniors

#

so like if you're pulling anything rn, you'll be fine

fast beacon
#

I apply to literally everything I see

#

ty ty

lunar dagger
#

big mood lmao

fast beacon
#

Like there's a riot mmo coming out

#

and I applied to it because they need to see people are interested in working for it

#

and then i applied to a bunch of research things too

#

reu's

#

so i dunno if I should go for an reu or internship because more than likely I may be offered one for each

lunar dagger
#

it's rlly tough out here

#

honestly internship >>> research

#

if you wanna go into industry

#

If you don't get anything tho, def email a prof or two to see if you can volunteer at their lab

#

Or do a project over the summer

#

But I think you're gonna be fine

#

You already got two interviews lined up

#

That's more than me lmao

fast beacon
#

what year are you?

lunar dagger
#

sophomore

fast beacon
#

and i dunno the research gets a name on a paper

#

which could get me into boring company and or neurallink or any of those sick companies

lunar dagger
#

yeah but typically employers value industry experience over research

#

research is VERY good if you're thinking about grad school tho

#

but I did a hs internship for audible

#

and the recruiters there were telling me they value internship experience first followed by research

fast beacon
#

I did bme for my last computer science class at my school, which was an all health related school, but that has done nothing for me

#

and hmmmmmmmmmm

lunar dagger
#

what's bme?

fast beacon
#

biomedical engineering

#

it's pretty cool

#

i loved the engineering part

lunar dagger
#

oh sweet

fast beacon
#

i dont really care for the health part

lunar dagger
#

biotech is mad cool

fast beacon
#

which is funny cuz i went to an all health school

#

nanomachines are sick

#

and a lot of tech is moving into medical

#

but i dont like medical :((

meager warren

that moment when u lie and they ask for transcript 💀 dont lie

fast beacon
#

i put down i am a freshman

#

cuz by year i am

#

even tho i may graduate early

frosty ginkgo
#

if ur a sophomore by standing then ur alllowed to put sophomore afaik

#

that would have increased ur response rate hella

frosty ginkgo
fast beacon
#

ya it says im a sophomore

#

but by year i am a freshman

frosty ginkgo
#

exactly

fast beacon
#

this is my second semester

frosty ginkgo
#

yea but you said you werent getting that many callbacks

#

if u put sophomore insteaad then you would have gotten a decent amt more

fast beacon
#

i gotcha

frosty ginkgo
# fast beacon i gotcha

and companies dont flame you also if you do decide to graduate a year later later down on the line

#

theyre p chill abt it

#

what your resume look like also?

fast beacon
#

usually in the notes i say i am by time i am a freshman, but credits sopohomore

#

poopy lmao

#

i have no tech on my resume

#

other than being it at my school

frosty ginkgo
#

like no tech projects?

fast beacon
#

ya no

#

ive done really small ones

#

but theyre not very good to show

frosty ginkgo
#

so u only put hs non cs stuff on resume?

fast beacon
#

nah

#

noty treally

#

it's pretty much job stuff ive had over the years

frosty ginkgo
#

photo rly not reccomended by ppl here since it opens up the idea of getting discriminated by looks

fast beacon
#

LMAOOOOOOO

#

i just did that one for fun

#

the real resume doesnt have the pic

#

i just send that one for fun tho

frosty ginkgo
#

ah ok gotchu

fast beacon
#

it's the same other than the pic

frosty ginkgo
#

and the other thing i see is that u put 2020-present which assumes companies think ur a freshman instead of sph by credit

#

and you also say your're fluent in java/c but have no projects to back it up with

fast beacon
#

i mean i could do my projects from class

frosty ginkgo
#

^^^

fast beacon
#

but theyre class stuff?

frosty ginkgo
#

yea thats a good start

#

really doesnt matter lol

fast beacon
#

just to see that you have any experience then?

#

how does it fit on one page tho?

#

and how would i add a project

frosty ginkgo
fast beacon
#

as you can tell, i am like a baby lmao

#

runic tinsel
#

anyone else find it impossible to get interviews with lyft and linkedin?

#

applied online, no response

#

cold email, no response

exotic atlas
#

after five months of my app date

#

also, i think linkedin downsized their intern program this year

runic tinsel
#

hit up my recruiter who actually hit me up after i signed an offer 2 years ago, no response

exotic atlas
#

because there were rumors they were just not gonna do one

exotic atlas
runic tinsel
#

for lyft

exotic atlas
#

just first name is cooll

#

im wondering if its the same as mine

runic tinsel
#

it probably is

#

there are only three URs at lyft

exotic atlas
#

oh rly

runic tinsel
#

courtney, katelyn and the asian one

#

yeah i think so

exotic atlas
#

lol vivian

runic tinsel
#

yeah vivian chen

exotic atlas
#

yeah vivian is rly chill

runic tinsel
#

did you interview for swe

exotic atlas
#

if you're unable to get a response from the others try emailing vivian

#

and yeah i did

runic tinsel
#

offer?

exotic atlas
#

i just finished up interviewing

#

ill hear back next wk i hope

runic tinsel
#

nice, how hard were the interviews

exotic atlas
#

uh neither were terrible imo

#

the phone was not so great bcuz it was with my weakest topic

#

the onsite went well i thought

runic tinsel
#

i mean you made it onsite right

exotic atlas
#

yeah

runic tinsel
#

so i guess your phone screen went well

exotic atlas
#

it went ok

#

im just over like

#

hoping for something positive after final interview

runic tinsel
#

im looking for ML opportunities

exotic atlas
#

even if i kill it

#

and yeah they're not doing L5 this summer

runic tinsel
#

they have so many data science roles

frail birch
#

@exotic atlas are you doing lyft internship

exotic atlas
frail birch
#

my offer was supposed to be for L5 and then they cancelled L5 internships for summer 2021 so it will be core lyft.... 😢 i am really disappointed

#

oh i see

exotic atlas
#

oh man

#

yeah i heard they cancelled l5

frail birch
#

i don't understand why

exotic atlas
#

im not smart enough to interview for that anyways

frail birch
#

i didn't get a clear answer

exotic atlas
#

yeah u would think right

#

i would think l5 would be the one in need of the most new grads

#

ive been browsing blind and apparently l5 is behind in tech

frail birch
#

yeah i've heard the same

exotic atlas
#

compared to waymo nuro zoox whatever

frail birch
#

do you think lyft is winding down the l5 program

exotic atlas
#

idk

frail birch
#

cause they are too far behind

exotic atlas
#

maybe pull an uber and sell it? idk

#

the thing is

#

whoever gets self driving down correctly

#

is gonna just win self driving

#

so it may be a sunk cost thing with places like uber atg and lyft L5

#

at the same time i take everything i see on blind with a grain of salt

frail birch
#

wait why do you say you're not smart enough to interview for l5? is the interview process different or somehting?

exotic atlas
#

i have no ML experience

frail birch
#

i see, i have non-professional ML experience but they didnt' ask me anything to do with ML, it was just regular SWE interview stuff. Maybe they already knew it was cancelled before my interview began, idk

#

My recruiter asked what i was interested in, i told her a few things as well as ML, and she said "i'm moving you forward with self-driving, hope that interests you" and then as far as I knew that was the deal until she called to give me the offer, and said "btw l5 is cancelled for internships so this is core lyft"

#

very confusing

exotic atlas
#

thats weird

#

who was ur recruiter?

frail birch
#

Elaine Duta

exotic atlas
#

ah i have vivian

frail birch
#

i tried emailing her the other day and it got returned as email no longer exists

exotic atlas
#

lmao wtf

#

tbh my experience with vivian has been flawless

#

she replies ultra fast

#

even on random weekends like at 11pm

#

and the whole process took two weeks in total front to back

#

just have to wait to hear back now i guess

frail birch
#

yeah elaine was super responsive, maybe it was user error on my end idk

#

so will you be accepting the offer if you get it?

exotic atlas
#

yeahh i think so

#

ill have to do some finagling but ya

frail birch
#

are you going to be trying to convert to full time as well

#

that is my hope atm

exotic atlas
#

so probably not
