just learning python can get u an internship, but u need more maturity to get citadel/two sigma/ect...

#

faang is mostly luck though

#

most students get resume rejected

#

and interviews are easy

#

yeap

gloomy lodge
#

Honestly just want a good internship for experience haha but I'll work hard to achieve the best one I can

gentle cradle
#

u want faang just join amazon

waxen orchid
#

startup interviews are way harder than faang

abstract wagon
#

interview was easier for faang than startup imo

#

like way easier

#

not if youre international tho

crimson brook
#

yeah ive only ever gotten LC hard in startups

abstract wagon
#

being american is a privilege

abstract wagon
#

yeah

#

that doesnt imply mine arent talented dude...

gloomy lodge
#

Darn, so do python and apply to faang cause start ups are hard... Got it 😂

charred roost
#

oh rip I"ve had the opposite experience with startups lol

abstract wagon
#

it's just luck and maybe timing

charred roost
#

Only ever gotten super simple take home assesments

crimson brook
#

i think sf tech startups are like super anal on their interviews

#

but other startups are eh

charred roost
#

Yeah I applied to startups outside SF that could be why

#

Yeah the biggest thing about internships is applying early

#

That makes the process a little easier

crimson brook
#

i had a startup in the bay give me a concurrency systems design in round 1, topological sort in 2nd round, the LC hard graph 3rd round sadge

charred roost
#

Still possible to get internships as late as May but it can be difficult at that point

waxen orchid
#

To make things short, 1) if you want Quants/don't have green card, u need to be a god at leetcode. 2) if you are an American, you can either luck out with FAANG, or have to be moderately good at lc (solve medium problems reliably)

abstract wagon
#

interestingly my really smart/talented international friend with competition awards/projects had little response rate when he had his "asian" name on application/resume but started getting replies after giving himself a fake english name

crimson brook
abstract wagon
#

you can search up "minorities who whiten job resume get more interviews" there are studies abt this shit

#

made me mad for my friend but at least he understood the system and got out of this bullshit

abstract wagon
sinful tinsel
#

How?

waxen orchid
#

This is a big assumption that he/she will pass resume screening, which is very unlikely for anyone

crimson brook
abstract wagon
#

no he clarified it's his nickname and not his legal name

#

i did the same thing (foreign as fuck name)

sinful tinsel
#

Ru a tutor?

charred roost
#

And a Youtuber

waxen orchid
#

wait how do u game the system?? Like I have 5+ projects & go to top 3 cs school and haven't had the success you had

crimson brook
#

yeah i heard back from most FAANG except G/A and i actually had referrals for those two RIP

sinful tinsel
waxen orchid
#

except amazon, no faang gives out free interviews lool

crimson brook
#

tbh u might be onto smtg every referral has ended in a ghost this year

waxen orchid
#

In the summer

charred roost
#

Here's the guide for anyone that wants it

abstract wagon
#

arent referrals by students/interns usually pretty useless

sinful tinsel
#

@floral ravine wuts ur YouTube channel?

waxen orchid
#

I meant this timeframe

#

😛

#

google closed aug 30th lmfao

waxen orchid

sinful tinsel

#

yeah

sinful tinsel

#

Oh yeah Google closed super early

#

radiant hamlet
#

anyone know if Facebook announced summer internships being remote? I know they were tryna press for in person

waxen orchid
#

I have 3+ hackathon awards, 5+ projects, 3.7+ gpa...

#

somethings wrong here

#

lol

abstract wagon
waxen orchid
#

I never felt FAANG gave out interviews

#

I just don't think this statement is true

charred roost
#

I know Amazon hands out a lot of OAs

#

And hire a lot as a result lol

gloomy lodge
charred roost
#

But others are harder

abstract wagon
#

its literally just luck tbh

waxen orchid
#

yeah its just luck, don't rely too much on faang

#

its mostly marketing ploy

#

just work on improving as best as you can

abstract wagon
#

they dont have time to go throughh all 300k applicants or whatever so imo best thing to do is just improve yourself and take any chance you can get

#

and when chance comes hopefully youve prepared enough to reach it

#

theres nothing else special abt recruiting imo

waxen orchid
#

most students get something if you truly put your mind to it

abstract wagon
#

and even if youre late its not impossible

waxen orchid
#

that is, worked at it for the whole semester + summer

abstract wagon
#

rustic sonnet

is it rude to ask a recruiter what their offer would be before I interview

#

I already have a good offer so I dont want to waste my time interviewing at companies that wont match or beat my current offer

lunar dagger
#

Low-key imo

#

But you could mention to them that you already have an offer and that you're looking to have them either match or beat your offer

#

I'm not an expert on this in any capacity tho. This is just what I feel like would be most appropriate to do in ur situation

rustic sonnet
#

yeah I think ill just say (more formally) Here is my current offer if you cannot match or beat I am not interested in the opportunity

thanks for the perspective!

#

Is an internship at google even worth it since they make you re-interview. Am i better off applying for full-time?

lean nexus
marsh burrow
# balmy blade lol even worth it what

I would rather have a guaranteed return offer than being forced to re-interview. Unless google offers an offseason internship or you have another offseason internship as a backup, I would intern at google

dark junco
#

if you can get a full time role yes, but you probably won't lol

balmy blade
#

Uhh interning at google gets u a lot of other options

#

for ft

#

why would u not

dark junco
#

yeah I agree I would take the absolute top companies over google for internships, but a google internship is still great

#

also conversion interview is way easier than going through the whole cycle

#

even though it isn't as nice as return offer

marsh burrow
#

How hard is the transition from quant firm to google for full time?

#

I can’t seem to get faang interviews

dark junco
#

you have quant offer?

balmy blade
#

wat

marsh burrow
#

Yes for this summer

dark junco
#

where? hft places are generally as hard if not harder to get, you should be able to transition if you want

#

interviews are supposedly pretty easy to get for FT with a few YOE

abstract wagon
crimson brook
#

not that i have (or will ever have) a google intern offer, but how is the re-interview process, does it offer any advantage/is easier over a normal interview?

#

or is the only benefit that you're guaranteed an interview

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

How much do internships matter in getting ft interviews?

im kinda getting nervous about grad 22

is it gonna be more def to get ft than internships

#

i almost died getting a junior yr internship, ft gonna be a whole new ballgame

barren night
#

Yeah does new grad recruiting for summer 22 start the same time as intern stuff? Like june/august?

steady obsidian
#

i'd assume so

barren night
#

would it be possible to get interviews at big n places with only 1 internship? Tbh i’m worried about ft recruiting too, just gonna work hard to get a return offer.

My friend got interviews from microsoft and Amazon with just 1 internship at BMW

#

with amazon its very possible

barren night
#

that’s good to hear

#

guess the lc grind continues

#

but tbh reading stuff on blind has scared me away from amazon a bit

#

which might be me being stupid

weak oracle
#

Amazon interns are Pip Proof so just flip amazon into something else

#

(pip proof while they're interns)

#

Or just specialize heavily to where it's a PITA to pip you

yeah i was talking about for full time for next year, already got rejected from amazon this year lol

#

i heard amazon as an intern is much less stressful than amazon FT

steady obsidian
#

out of all fangs, amazon is highly team dependent

#

if i were to get offers from all FAANGS, I would take Amz last

#

but if amz was my only choice, hell yeah we going to Seattle

yeah... amazon isn't great. best way to put it would be they have the highest odds of being put on a shitty team

How much money can you save in NYC if you make 300k and you live way below your means

Is it possible to save 15k/month?

marsh burrow

If you save 10k/month is it possible to live off of 60k per year in NYC?

#

Because of HCOL

flat schooner

yes currently living in midtown manhattan and spent around 2k5/month on both rent and food

Did anyone get reply from vocera communications? For internship interview availability

flat schooner

even before covid it's not hard to find studio in upper east side for 2k5/month or even below

#

rent is not cheap here but def not as high as some ppl said unless you only wanna live in apartments with pretty view

frosty ginkgo
#

you'll earn 300k/12 per month which is 25k a month

#

assuming you dont eat, be homeless(no rent), dont buy water, and dont buy anything in general you should expect to survive for 2 days

#

so u'll earn ~1600$ before dying and you save all your money

#

or maybe 3.2k-4k for 5 days of no water

I was gonna say a lot of financial firms do too but I couldn't remember which off the top of my head

Seems really useless as a metric

humble sparrow

yeah I have no idea

I guess there's such a thing as a bad score

I thought you take a OA and that’s it

idk what a good score says about someone though

apparently some people didn't get the Citadel OA if their SAT was really low

Grammar scores on SAT =/= technical ability lol

I thought it was automatic

it's more valuable for something like investment banking where you don't have a good way to evaluate candidates like LC

Hey guys can I get some advice?

#

I got an offer from Walmart Global Tech for a SWE intern position and an offer from ServiceNow for a SDE intern position and I'm having a hard time choosing between the two

#

Which one do you think is better for resume boosting and would look more "impressive"?

#

And overall, which one is a better investment?

sage hinge
balmy blade
woven wren
#

I've been trying to make up my mind about it I feel like I just needed that affirmation that I'm making the right choice 🥲

#

I'm just worried working with ServiceNow is gonna brand me a certain way and it'll be hard to jump to say FAANGs and such

#

But with Walmart I'll be working with eccomerce which is a little more broad

#

Also my title for ServiceNow is Software Developer and not engineer so idk if that makes a diff lol

night surge
#

oh yeah, how important is that title

#

one sounds cooler to me but im no recruiter

sage hinge
#

personally the walmart one sounds cooler even tho i reneged them lol

#

if ur walmart location is on the west coast i'd go walmart otherwise i'd go servicenow

simple flume
#

@night surge@woven wren Honestly, when you put it on your resume, I would just call it what you did, as long as you don't rank yourself up. Though I think Software Dev and Software Eng. are interchangable and probably have to do with what lingo the company thought was hot at the time

honestly idk the walmart bentonville is a turn off, but the it thing would be a huge turn off for me

sage hinge
#
just making little applications for their clients depending on their needs
#

ngl the it isnt a turn off but that part is

#

like id rather be working in an environment with prebuilt ci/cd pipelines and devops stuff + maybe a larger code base

#

hows the pay?

woven wren
#

40/hr lmao

sage hinge
#

not bad

#

hows the intern conversion rate?

woven wren
#

Hm no idea tbh, I might need to ask my recruiter but based off linkedin almost all the SDE and SWE interns convert to full time

sage hinge
#

I'd prolly go servicenow cause of the higher pay + conversion rate even tho the project u might be doing isn't as exciting
