@steady obsidian go on a road trip with friends

It’s a great life experience, you get to see how other people live

[steady obsidian]

I am doing that in May, going on a roadtrip to LA from Austin

[silver lark]

It’s eye opening especially if you’ve been stuck in a suburb for most of your life like I was

[silver lark]

@steady obsidian nice, enjoy the Arizona stars!

[steady obsidian]

Ok dumb question bu

is that like a place or...

Like actual stars that u can see through Arizona

[silver lark]

@steady obsidian lmaooo. when you’re driving through the Arizona desert (at night) it’s one of the darkest places in the us with an unobstructed horizon so you have 180 degrees of stars. You should be able to clearly see the milky way depending on time of year

[steady obsidian]

heck yeah man I am excited

[small fossil]

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

[primal sierra]

I got an OA and after I passed they sped up my process because I had a pending offer

[remote geyser]

how much did they speed it up?

[primal sierra]

Applied Feb 1, got oa Feb 4, did oa Feb 5, got call back for behaviour Feb 5, had behaviour Feb 9, had technical Feb 11, got offer Feb 12

So one week from doing oa to offer

[abstract wagon]

[earnest kestrel]

[dapper shard]

[ionic bronze]

i wanna sleep

[fast dagger]

why are 1500 word papers a thing you have to do to get a cs degree 😦

[vague palm]

This shit dragging my GPA

I hate breadth courses

[charred roost]

that shit is cruel

[charred roost]

Rip

I enjoy some gen eds

as long as they don't have much work, I'm fine with them lol

[vague palm]

No that's the thing

Those fucks require like weekly quizzes and participation marks and all the fucking nonesense

[fast dagger]

yeah some of htem pummel you with work

[charred roost]

true

[simple flume]

My highschool had us do most of our gen eds as dual credit, so I've basically taken all math and CS courses for a year and a half

[vague palm]

I wanna die bro

Fuck school

[charred roost]

Nice

Yeah I got my first year CS and math classes done with through AP credits

[frosty ginkgo]

same

[charred roost]

But I have a lot of humanities classes to do

[barren night]

yeah basically all my gen eds got covered by aps

[charred roost]

Thankfully those classes don't have much work

[frosty ginkgo]

getting 2nd year math done with cc credits

thank the gods i dont have to take linear in college

[dapper shard]

has anyone taken a class akin to theory of computation before?

also how difficult is linear algebra if you have a bad basis in algebra itself?

[frosty ginkgo]

the hard part abt linear algebra is the proofs

the algebra is simpler than i expected when i took it last summer

[barren night]

I’m taking theory of computation rn and it’s actually kinda cool

[vague palm]

Proofs are death

[charred roost]

damn i did 0 proofs in my lin alg class lmao

[barren night]

it seems pretty useless but it’s fun

[frosty ginkgo]

same LMAO

[vague palm]

I know the definition and proofs of Jacobian hermitian matrices

[charred roost]

sure we had some conceptual stuff

[frosty ginkgo]

like I could have taken linear algebra w/o proofs in freshman year of hs and still gotten an A

[barren night]

there are proofs but it’s not too bad

[dapper shard]

okay well for reference i struggled and barely got a B in calc 1 so

[charred roost]

but we focused on the computational parts

[vague palm]

But I don't know jack what they do and why they're useful

[frosty ginkgo]

bc that shit was all lines

[vague palm]

I just memorized the shir

[frosty ginkgo]

i struggled a lot in ab also

like almost failed out struggle

[dapper shard]

i took calc 1 my freshman year of college 😳

[frosty ginkgo]

and ur graduating right

[dapper shard]

yeah this Fall 2021

[frosty ginkgo]

yea so look how far uv come

[weak fjord]

Why are we here? Just to suffer?

[frosty ginkgo]

from 4 years ago to now

[dapper shard]

i mean it doesn't really matter tbh what grades. just need to pass now

[frosty ginkgo]

whats ur gpa

[weak fjord]

3.9

[dapper shard]

3.43 currently. fine with letting it drop too if it means i have less of a headache

[weak fjord]

I got called by a wepay recruiter

Then he told me

We can't offer you an internship

Because it overlaps with uni

It was my last hope

[frosty ginkgo]

did you not say that u could take time off

[weak fjord]

I can't, I'm international

[frosty ginkgo]

ohh

[weak fjord]

My school ends first week of June

They start end of may

[sly egret]

i feel u man, mine is the same as yours & i’ve completely stopped caring about school rn, only to the point of passing w/ a D-

[vague palm]

I hate how it's either or

Fuck

[sly egret]

yeah it sucks

[steady obsidian]

bro what do recruiters even do if they don't wanna recruit me

like bro who else u looking for????

I am literally making YOUR job easier by reaching out to YOU

[vague palm]

It's the Pareto principle dude

[steady obsidian]

I was really hoping someone didn't bring that up, F

You really gotta be an alpha basically with everything in life

Which is true I guess

[vague palm]

The power dynamics are completely one sided

[steady obsidian]

I hope once I graduate my inbox is wet and the power dynamics shift

"highest growing profession" my ass

[vague palm]

That's impossible

If you already are at this stage in sorry to say you're never gonna achieve such a status :(

[steady obsidian]

damn bro that's crazy

[faint musk]

That seems like an exaggeration

[abstract wagon]

hello tub

[faint musk]

hello other tub how are you

[abstract wagon]

good just waiting for the power dynamics shift hbu

[faint musk]

[mint cipher]

is applying to IT internships a good idea?

i look at their requirements and its like Java, JavaScript, React

might as well be a Software Engineer internship

[lethal ore]

I mean if they work with swe related stuff then apply

Better than no internship

[sly egret]

lmaoo yea i got super lucky, it’s D- for courses that aren’t a prereq for anything else & im doing all that aren’t prereqs

[lilac cloak]

[remote geyser]

Does anyone know what twitter process is?

I tried searching around but I couldn't really find

[nova knoll]

A lot of ghosting

[narrow patrol]

ghost -> -> email saying no further action is required -> -> phone interview -> OA -> technical -> final -> offer

i am on step 4 -

[remote geyser]

omy lol

[remote geyser]

do you know if it is a different process if it is for a specific org/team?

[narrow patrol]

lmao sorry i have no clue i only know the process from readin it somewhere online

if u got interview

[remote geyser]

no worries, do you remember where your read this?

[remote geyser]

so far I only got a Hackerrank which was suprisingly easy

[craggy shuttle]

Although don't have much hopes, their process finishes sometime in 1st week of April i guess

[narrow patrol]

idk it was just on glassdoor, but some ppl also said its just a couple technicals and team behavioral so idk im prob not the best person lmaoo i was mainly trolling

[narrow patrol]

hope u get it dude!

[remote geyser]

no worries haha, ty

[runic tinsel]

how do people come up with technologies like mapreduce?

idk if college education is even enough to prepare one to innovate such things lol

[remote geyser]

Do any google teams use/like c#? wondering if I should learn it

[pallid spade]

lmao its professors and phds creating shit like that @runic tinsel

[lethal ore]

Anyone heard back from IBM accelerate yet they said they would be sending emails today?

[round sparrow]

I think one of the profs at my school was a co-founder of hadoop lol

[stray spoke]

Probably rejection emails are gonna come out later today

Lots of people got it already

[thorny gorge]

What’s ibm accelerate

[mint cipher]

its like IBM but faster

[charred roost]

🏎️

[thorny gorge]

lol

theres so many programs that pop outta no where

and i just have 0 clue about them and by the time i find out they close apps

[charred roost]

[pliant hawk]

[lethal ore]

It is a program to do along with your internship I think

[runic tinsel]

no, jeff dean was not a professor

i mean yeah he's a genius but idk how any academic work prepares you to innovate shit like that

its arguably easier to create something like facebook vs something like a programming language or a framework

[pallid spade]

? he has a phd according to his wiki

[runic tinsel]

phd != being a professor tho

[pallid spade]

ok... reread my sentence

idk why ur trying to fight me on this

do u think random undergraduates are inventing mapreduce

lol

[runic tinsel]

lol my b

[lunar dagger]

Bruh I just did one of those triplebyte assessments

Anyone else do those before?

[warm thistle]

does any of you add incoming summer internships to resume for fall apps

[faint musk]

I didn't get a response today so I guess that means I got rejected? Or maybe they are having delays

[faint musk]

That's probably a good idea

[simple flume]

I haven't, was it hard?

[lunar dagger]

the problems themselves were reallly simple but I was stressed bc they give u like 6-7 mins per problem

and one of my solutions got auto submitted while I was trying to fix a bracket error

[simple flume]

You just do it for fun, or like do they hire interns out of there?

[stray spoke]

They pair you with companies

So you skip the resume screen

[lunar dagger]

a company I applied to had me do a triplebyte interview thing after my first interview

But I submitted my test, but apparantly on their end they see it as "started" but not "completed"

even tho there was about 30 mins total, and I started my test a few hours ago

so as of rn they have no idea how to get my test results

[simple flume]

Were they all lc mediums/easys?

[lunar dagger]

yeah

honestly not bad except for the super short time restraint

but idk if that's something the company I applied with set up specifically or if that's just standard on there

They also had a general concepts multiple choice quiz which was p nice

[stray spoke]

I took it back when I was clueless so idk lol

[abstract wagon]

Would you guys Reneg Boeing for a startup that paid much more, better team, potential to learn a lot?

Or just take it

cuz boeing good name

[velvet badge]

Startup everytime p

Boeing ain’t worth it lol

[abstract wagon]

why?

oo why

[velvet badge]

I mean you kinda answered it yourself yeah?

[abstract wagon]

butname toh

[velvet badge]

More pay, experience, opportunities to learn?

[open yoke]

boeing is not a good name

[velvet badge]

Name isn’t big enough to give up all those things

[open yoke]

just because a company is F500 doesn't mean it's a good name in tech

[velvet badge]

Yep

[open yoke]

whats the startup

[velvet badge]

So take startup 100%

[abstract wagon]

uhh

i can dm it to u?

[open yoke]

[charred roost]

[abstract wagon]

[balmy blade]

LOOOOOL YES

[abstract wagon]

[balmy blade]

if anything they have abad name

[abstract wagon]

maybe maybe

[open yoke]

do you happen to know the valuation of your startup

yeah go for your startup

[charred roost]

Yeah startup sounds pretty lit

More pay, more ops to learn

[open yoke]

yeah. plus any company that's tech first is better than not

[charred roost]

Ye

[open yoke]

plus boeing software gets shit on lol

[charred roost]

lol yea

DepressoStudent could be the intern to change that tho 🤔

[open yoke]

[charred roost]

Yeah I assumed you werent when you said you interviewed before

[charred roost]

Nice

[steady obsidian]

they kept me on a "shortlist" for the position, basically a soft reject

and I guess their intern backed out and they were tryna sign the next dude on their waitlist ASAP rocky but they pay so little bro...

[charred roost]

i see

if you don't want the position I'll take it off your hands my dude

[velvet badge]

[pliant hawk]

not for fun but for better offer

[thorny gorge]

lol

[hexed wave]

I had interviews for amazon and Facebook but I cancelled them cuz I already accepted an offer lmfao

[pliant hawk]

[thorny gorge]

my interview is just for volvo

[pliant hawk]

i finally got a rejectionm from facebook, tears of joy because i finally didnt get ghosted

[silk ridge]

[thorny gorge]

[thorny gorge]

nc

[pliant hawk]

even tho its remote lol

[thorny gorge]

[hexed wave]

Reneging a big company for another big company there’s no point I can just try again later

[velvet badge]

Yes always

[charred roost]

Xps gang

[balmy blade]

u sound stupid

I interview for practice would never turn it down

Who said u need to reneg, you can bag the offer, and not reneg and that way next time u apply in their ATS they will see you got an offer prev.

You can politely say no, thats not burning a bridge if u didnt accept.

[balmy blade]

preach

[hexed wave]

That’s being a nerd lol. Wasting your time and the companies time

[balmy blade]

Wasting your timer?

What else are u gonna be doing lol

The recruiters get paid

[pliant hawk]

playing league

[thorny gorge]

^

league op

[balmy blade]

U really think ur wasting a trillion dollar companies time

Oh I forgot league is life my bad

So much better of an idea man id cancel my facebook final for it

[pliant hawk]

TRUUU

[sly egret]

damn, looks like i have to wipe my tears with 200k tc 😭

[balmy blade]

[sly egret]

so sad 😢

[hexed wave]

Yes wasting my time. I have to prepare for the interview

[balmy blade]

who said u have to prepare

lol just yolo

League >200k tc duh

[hexed wave]

League is garbage

[pliant hawk]

finally someone who understands me

[hexed wave]

In order to get an offer i have to waste time preparing for the interview so I’ll pass on that one

[terse torrent]

waste time

If u do more u get better which is transferrable across interviews but ok

[manic saddle]

Is there an offer decline template?

pinned here

[velvet badge]

Worst take I’ve seen so far lmao

Companies don’t give a fuck about your time, so why should I care about theirs?

[hexed wave]

If I’m not planning to renege why would I do the interview

[terse torrent]

They would rather fill their schedule giving u a call rather than looking like they aren't doing anything => layoff

LOL

[velvet badge]

Because you get practice out of it?

[charred roost]

But bro you're just being a nerd by practicing bro

[terse torrent]

Have u failed interviews b4

[velvet badge]

Are you planning on staying at the company you’re at for the rest of your life?

LMAO

I hope you never plan on doing another interview homie

[pliant hawk]

i mean i dont see anything wrong with this if ur happy

[hexed wave]

No

[silk ridge]

theres nothing wrong with turning down an interview too, more to life than leetcode

[velvet badge]

Then why would doing interviews ever waste your time?

[charred roost]

Fair point

Don't gotta do every interview you get

[velvet badge]

Well yeah obviously not

[hexed wave]

Because I don’t need the offer

[terse torrent]

It depend on where u at in ur career path

But it doesn't depend on how nerdy u r

[hexed wave]

I accepted an offer I’m happy with and I want to chill I don’t see the problem

[pliant hawk]

aint nothing wrong with that

[terse torrent]

Nothing wrong w that but ur implying ppl who interview for practice r nerds

[velvet badge]

There’s no problem with that

[pliant hawk]

calling ppl nerds

[hexed wave]

It’s not like the interviews I cancelled are gonna be the reason I don’t get another offer again

[terse torrent]

[pliant hawk]

is the problem

[velvet badge]

The way you worded it earlier was the issue my dude

[hexed wave]

Oh

My fault lol

[terse torrent]

Useless debating w this everyone's got a mind of their own

[velvet badge]

All good though I’m happy you got an offer you like 💪🏽

[pliant hawk]

lul

[muted leaf]

is intern intern a preinternship

[low epoch]

Think of it as being an intern for the intern where the intern is your boss

[green salmon]

Wait that’s not a typo?

[lilac cloak]

second degree intern

[final shoal]

wepay vs yahoo internship? any thoughts?

[round sparrow]

is pay similar? i think it depends on which team is more interesting

[final shoal]

no concerns with pay and return, same

yahoo is sports mobile

wepay is up to be assigned

[charred roost]

Ngl I didn't know Yahoo were still around

[west isle]

wepay, their new grad offer on levels looks pretty good

[final shoal]

verizon bought it

[charred roost]

Ah

[charred roost]

Yeah I think WePay might be the move

[terse torrent]

LOL i said the exact opposite

depending on what you have on ur resume, i might pick yahoo for more name recnogition?

[charred roost]

Lmfao

[final shoal]

which one is good to return? as they both have a high return chance

[round sparrow]

wepay newgrad seems way higher

id say wepay

[balmy blade]

Wepay no brainer

their hiring bar way higher

[final shoal]

what about wayfair

compare to yahoo

[narrow patrol]

wepay

[lean nexus]

so if i can get an offer today and I have only until Tuesday to answer (with possible extension), is that a possible red flag?

[ashen needle]

thats exactly what happened with me

i got offer on friday and had 3 business days to accept

and was told "if there are any issues with that timeline, let me know because its just company policy, but i can get you an extension"

so i accepted the offer the day of

[lean nexus]

jesus lol

[frosty ginkgo]

where u interning?

[ashen needle]

Nuance

its a tech place local to me

relatively small

[final shoal]

is that ok to ask for extension?

can i tell the recruiter I need to wait for the other company because I prefer to their offer?

[manic saddle]

Keep it general, don't say because you're waiting for a better company or something

[ashen needle]

jsut ask for an extension nicely

[lunar dagger]

You can also accept then renege later if you want

But yeah definitely just say you need some more time to figure things out on your end

why is it so early

[ionic bronze]

have companies always been this early

[thorny gorge]

havent even gotten the first internship experience yEt

and they already postin 1 year early

xd

[charred roost]

bruh

oh wait you have to had attended some conference

to apply

[thorny gorge]

oh fr? but i still think its mad earrlyt

[charred roost]

Yeah that's why it says NSBE in the title

[charred roost]

But you're right its still super early lol

[lunar dagger]

wait fuck I applied to it

like last week

[charred roost]

lmfao

[lunar dagger]

without realizing

[stray spoke]

I did too lol

[lunar dagger]

What if we cop it tho

[stray spoke]

I don’t think it’s possible but it’ll be awkward if we take it

A big surprise at orientation lol

[tribal hare]

Yo should i be worried about what order i renege an offer and sign with the other? Does it matter? Also the one i'm reneging, i already did a background check and stuff does that have an effect in some way? Anything helps!

[ionic bronze]

always always always

accept before renege

[tribal hare]

Yeah I was gonna plan on that just to secure the bag first before dropping the other one. But why do you think it matters? Would the company I renege try to pull something?

[ionic bronze]

i don't think the company would pull something, but it's just safer to accept first

what's the size of the company?

did u get your team yet?

[tribal hare]

There’s about it’s a startup and there’s about 120 employees. This is also just for an internship

[tribal hare]

No I don’t think so. I just know who I’m reporting to but I haven’t met them yet

[runic tinsel]

Is it a good sign if the HM says something like “message me on LinkedIn if you have any questions” at the end of the behavioral round

[charred roost]

Isn't that a pretty standard response at the end of a behavioral?

Minus the LinkedIn part

[runic tinsel]

For me at least this was the first time anyone said “message me if you have more questions”

[round sparrow]

pretty standard

[terse torrent]

Standard

[steady obsidian]

not standard lmao

[sage hinge]

i feel like they usually say email me or something like that

[ashen needle]

Never had anyone in the interview process connect w me on LinkedIn nor prompt me to msg them on there

[sage hinge]

Maybe he hates getting emails lol

[silver sierra]

I think it's a good sign

[brazen flint]

I feel like if someone from the company wants to connect with you on LinkedIn it's definitely a good sign

unless you have a shady background lol

[sage hinge]

I think a connection and message is diff

Cause if they have presidium u can directly send a message without ever connecting

[granite parcel]

Is facebook still hiring interns?

[charred roost]

Probably not for 2021

[fast dagger]

I got hrt merch from a hackathon

more merch than the company im working at ... 😐

[formal finch]

Same

[fast dagger]

yeah like god damn

their LP is like extravagance instead of frugality

[small fossil]

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

[dark plover]

Anyone else doing new Technologists this summer ?

[lunar dagger]

There was this other kid I was talking to a few months back who got in

If you search, you'll probably find him

[formal finch]

i got approved but never shipped smh

[fast dagger]

Wtf

[abstract wagon]

Anyone know what the imc online video interview is like

[thin stag]

is it bad to stalk your interviewers prior to the interview on linked in?

[green salmon]

Make sure ya

Got private mode ok

On

[thin stag]

ah fuck

[green salmon]

@thin stag

But honestly not bad

[thin stag]

well it’s gonna be an awkward interview lmao

[green salmon]

If I was interviewer shows u doing yo research

[thin stag]

i’m nervous for this interview ahh, they sent me an email it’s with two people

so i’m not sure if it’s behavioral or technical

[green salmon]

What company

[thin stag]

mcgraw hill

[green salmon]

Oooo

Go kill it my brother

Don’t be nervous

Ru prepared / confident in ur skills

[thin stag]

ready to bomb another interview and make a fool of myself 🤪

i’m a bit confident

i’m horrible at leetcode

so i’m real nervous on the technical side

[green salmon]

Yea but I feel it

This is ur day

[thin stag]

thank you, this is one of my last opportunities to get an internship for this summer so i got to do good 🙏

[green salmon]

Not last opportunity u still got time

If u put pressure like that on urself u bound to mess up

[thin stag]

alright i got to relax

there’s always more opportunities you right

[green salmon]

Yup good luck broski

[glass minnow]

Did anyone interview for Pure Storage?

[remote geyser]

dm

[split fractal]

i have done it for every single interview 😂

[soft hound]

i think most people do that

[stone tiger]

same. Most of the recruiters have told me to like check out their linkedin in the emails

[night surge]

mine got approved April 1st , im still waiting

[charred roost]

lol rip

Mine should finally be here tmrw

Can't wait

[night surge]

yeah so it says approved right

but theres no fedex

tracker

its just a receipt

[charred roost]

rip

[night surge]

you had a tracker once it was approved right

[charred roost]

they must be overwhelmed by the orders from the server lol

[night surge]

yeah

[charred roost]

yeah i got a separate email saying its on its way

[night surge]

🔫

[charred roost]

[night surge]

this is the only HRT wait-list ill be on

[charred roost]

Bc you'll just be going straight to the offer letter stage?

[night surge]

ok ur smooth

but that not what i meant

[charred roost]

Lmfao

[abstract tiger]

Is intel still hiring? For internship

[fair yew]

What to expect in the codepair interview with VMware ?

I got 2 interviews with 2 teams. Each interview will have 2 45 minutes sessions. They send me a link to hackerrank

What kind problem will be asked?

[steady crater]

can vouch they're still hiring, just had a technical on friday

[round sparrow]

i got two lc easies but i had to do it in go lol

what team?

[fair yew]

They only let me know the interviewers

[round sparrow]

it was lc easies followed by oop questions

[fair yew]

do you also have 2 interviews with 1 team ?

[round sparrow]

i was part of the vmware superday so i had two interviews with people from two different teams

but i was considered for all the teams within mapbu

[stone tiger]

@calm flame i got 2 leetcode questions for each interviews

1 easy and 1 med for each

[fair yew]

Nice to know

[stone tiger]

then like general concepts questions

[fair yew]

@round sparrow did they ask you to code in go or you're free to pick the language you prefer ?

[stone tiger]

also resume questions too

[round sparrow]

the team was go specific so they made me do it w go

but if you dont have go on your resume i dont think they would force you lol

[fair yew]

Hmm, I put some language that I just recently learn, hope they won't ask me to code in that language T.T

[round sparrow]

lmao yea i was rusty as hell but i managed to scrape by

they answered any syntax things i forgot

[abstract wagon]

anyone talk to accenture lol

Had 2 interviews last week, one which i believe was the final, and I was told i'd hear back today but haven't got anything

If i don't hear by the end of the day its not bad to send my recruiter an email tomorrow asking whats going on is it

[green salmon]

Yessir @abstract wagon

Ask em 2 week a long time

Actually not rlly

But long enough to send a follow up

[dry ibex]

for amazon

if u get an email saying
"cant take you at this time due to lack of spots but we think you are a good fit and want you to take this survey"

is that just a nice rejection email that everyone gets or is it different

[silk ridge]

im not an amazon expert but it sounds like you got waitlisted? idk depends on the survey i guess

[dry ibex]

ok yea i was thinking similarly

thanks for the input!

[ashen needle]

so

at what point does this shift to 2022 summer

[charred roost]

July-ish

[pliant hawk]

once ppl start summer internships mebbe

[still gazelle]

cant wait for winter spring summer 2022 to open

[west ravine]

Where are you finding Robinhood questions?

[thorny pike]

what are the requirements for an internship at a trading shop?

[still gazelle]

just find some trading shops and look at their requirements for their internship positions

[thin stag]

anyone know how a mcafee interview works?

[abstract tiger]

For which position? Is it in intel?

[steady crater]

info security engineer. just remembered it isn't summer, it is a fall position july - dec my bad

[abstract tiger]

Okay. Are there any companies still hiring for summer? I'm still looking for

[thin stag]

is it bad if i hard code solutions for hackerrank assessments

companies don’t read the actual code right

[stray spoke]

I think some do? But getting the solution is the main thing

[still gazelle]

bro u are down bad

i think hard codign is fine for super edge cases like 0 or 1 or smth

but if youre regularly finding urself hardcoding a lot of potential inputs thats rly bad

[flat vine]

it's not hardcoding they're just base cases

[night surge]

Yeah aren’t there also randomized cases

Just collected into one since they all have the same properties

[steady obsidian]

does salesforce recruit outside intern?

[candid spade]

Has anyone ever got internship as a freshmen in college?

[thorny gorge]

very possible but very slim

[opaque bloom]

im a freshman and got like 3 interviews for like 100+ applications? still got rejected from all 3

so its definitely possible, just painful tho

[ember delta]

i took an L this summer recruiting season 😢

[steady obsidian]

junior, 400+ apps

one offer.

what's up

san fran

idk about sharing that

[thorny gorge]

LO

as a freshman, either you got a connection or you somehow standout from the rest

super competitive

[candid spade]

So if you don’t got any connections, the best way to spend the summer would be to work on personal projects right?

[dapper shard]

i did but it was unpaid and local

[earnest musk]

my friend did at amazon but they're goated and self studied DS and algo

[candid spade]

Oh god

Local is probably easier

[dapper shard]

much easier

[candid spade]

But the issue is how do you find local employers

[dapper shard]

mine was a nonprofit organization centered around helping low income and poverty stricken people find low income housing and child care and other necessity services

i worked on a mobile app for them

[candid spade]

Did they coach you or did they expect you to know everything?

[sly egret]

In case of an investigation by any federal entity or similar, I do not pay taxes

[candid spade]

Sadly not

[dapper shard]

they expected me to know what i was doing. obviously it wasn't the best thing ever created but i did learn a lot about mobile app development and also that i have no interest in it whatsoever anymore lol

[candid spade]

Even if it wasn’t interesting, it must’ve reinforced your resume somehow

[dapper shard]

yeah it did. i was able to get my next internship my sophomore year afterwards

[candid spade]

Also hackathon is for big brains

Pogs

[remote geyser]

Yes it is possible, many freshman @ Amazon, they do hire like 8000 interns after all

[candid spade]

Aaaaaaaaa

Hire me bezos

And omg I thought your name was familiar

We both go to the same school

[remote geyser]

o hey lol, didn't even realize

[tawdry fractal]

im a freshman and I got a co-op

[tawdry fractal]

yes do second that. I reached till the interview but got the L after that. My Data structures and algorithms were definitely not strong so that was understandable

[still gazelle]

ya

i went from 0 leetcode and 0 knowledge of any frameworks/tech stacks in september to a paid internship

i would really advise starting the grind right now. i killed my social life and my grades cuz i spent 4-5 hours a day coding outside of classes

[abstract wagon]

!join lyft

[unborn hornet]

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

[junior elk]

Ye im gonna be at a local startup. Got it through cold emailing

Another thing you could do is reach out to profs to ask if they need a research assistant

Your best chances are with profs you've already interacted with. But if you have a job board you could look for research positions on there.

You could always just work on making a full stack project over the summer if that doesn't work out

[potent whale]

yeah amazon

easiest big company for freshmen

[junior elk]

lmao amazon ghosted me hard

did you apply for regular swe?

[potent whale]

yea

[junior elk]

gotcha

[still gazelle]

propel ghosted my ass bro

[junior elk]

at least now when you apply next time, youll have some work experience on your resume

[torpid totem]

How would I prepare for a phone interview?

Stage 1 of an application

[balmy blade]

research company, and know ur resume, dont not much else to it

[torpid totem]

Thanks

[final shoal]

verizon media vs wayfair sde internship ? any thoughts

[abstract wagon]

what happened to wepay and yahoo?

but between those two I'd rather go to wayfair

seems like better pay & name

anybody heard back from tiktok or google x for their mle roles? How long did you wait?

[final shoal]

how can i ask for extending an offer deadline?

one is due today ...

[night surge]

straight up ask for more time

[abstract wagon]

or accept and renege later

[night surge]

reason, special circumstances, need to talk to xyz

[abstract wagon]

no im asking what happened to those choices

because he asked about them before

i wish wepay gave me an OA 🤡

[charred roost]

Yahoo answers closing on may 4 😢

[night surge]

waht

nooooo

wait

how am i going to learn

[abstract wagon]

Wb yahoo finance? how else will I know how to invest?

[night surge]

quora is good

ik prof who put fake answers on yahoo

to their own questions

quora is classy FB

[final shoal]

how is yahoo sports

how are they doing

[stone tiger]

most of the general stuff i just google question + “reddit” at the end lmao

[sly egret]

In case of an investigation by any federal entity or similar, I do not and never will pay taxes

[abstract tiger]

Anyone experienced with ihs markit??

For internship

[sage hinge]

Damn mcd labs is hiring hella ppl

[charred roost]

lmfao

[thorny pike]

is solutions engineer intern at salesforce worth it?

it's not a pure swe role

[knotty bone]

Any Verizon Media summer intern here??

[thorny gorge]

[still gazelle]

U GOT AN OFFER BRO?! LETS FUCKIN GOOO

[thorny gorge]

heh

[lethal ore]

Where are you interning at? @thorny gorge

[thorny gorge]

#intern_salary_sharing message

[steady obsidian]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I love to see all my homies succeed

Let's all work M-F 8-5 and then get hammered after that, who's down

[charred roost]

Down

[steady obsidian]

ok bet, if you're in Texas, DM me

We'll make it work

A get together with the cscareers.dev homies this summer

specially #2021_summer

[turbid river]

Texas folks gotta do some river tubing this summer

[steady obsidian]

so down

[earnest field]

someone say texas meet up 👀

[restive falcon]

Wow Netflix be paying bank

[dark junco]

is that real

that's insane

[charred roost]

Yeah it's real

Dude's just built different

I think they've gotten interviews with pretty much every major company lol

[terse torrent]

netflix is a wtf moment

[weak fjord]

Netflix intern pay is insane

36k for an internship lol

That's $70 an hour

[remote geyser]

if that is insane, then what is hrt/jane street ?

[weak fjord]

HRT/Jane Street isn't a SWE company though

But $96/hr for JS is also crazy money

I got 1/3 that for Citrix lol

[shrewd karma]

Well Citrix isn’t exactly comparable

[weak fjord]

Clearly

[still gazelle]

i got 8% of that at Smoothie King

[ionic fog]

holy shit

$12k/mo at Netflix

O.o

[open yoke]

chump change

[split fractal]

now the question is, are we really generating 12.5 times as much value for the organization?

[still gazelle]

yes my job could be widely automated. it requires no experience and i generate about like $500 in revenue per hour whereas a quant trader or quant SWEs job is highly specialized and results in millions of dollars of profit for their company a year.

[narrow patrol]

I think all in it’s like 48k pre tax for the 14 wk internship

Literally wild lol must be nice

[sly egret]

not enough for my lifestyle

[odd kraken]

honestly crazy that they pay that much they don't do return offers right

[frosty ginkgo]

only millions?

[charred roost]

damn

[frosty ginkgo]

damn i thought they made a couple million a day

[still gazelle]

the key word here is profits

[still gazelle]

no only a few traders even crack 20m+ a year individually.

[frosty ginkgo]

damn

idw to be a trader tho since its a shitton of math

[still gazelle]

its defiantely more at js compared to other firms but yeah

[frosty ginkgo]

just a swe there but i have no idea if u work on any sort of frontend at hft companies

that would be cool

[still gazelle]

hrt had some web dev positions

they still might do

[frosty ginkgo]

yea i think thats it right

the rest is just backend stuff in c++,python,ocaml

[still gazelle]

also not quite

[frosty ginkgo]

rly?

what else is there

in terms of swe

[frosty ginkgo]

is algo engineer like trader?

or swe?

bc it looks like both in that position as i see : test trading strategies and data visualization in the same description

[still gazelle]

engineer

algo developer = trader at hrt

[fast dagger]

netflix

i regret not applyign so hard

[fast dagger]

hoesntly

there would have been 0 chance i'd have gotten a return offer even if i had somehow managed to scrape by an intern offer

[ashen needle]

anyone notice that theres a small collection of top companies that dont get obsessed over the way a select few companies do

like SumoLogic i never heard of but looking at their levels- holy shit

[turbid river]

I mean yeah smaller companies people don't really recognize won't get as much attention compared to somewhere like snap or uber where people actually recognize their product

[ashen needle]

true

[ionic bronze]

ive always wondered if the button that took me 2k worth of hours to write was worth that much to my company

[covert blaze]

anyone interviewed at target for swe before?

[pallid spade]

https://www.levels.fyi/company/Sumo-Logic/salaries/Software-Engineer/ what?

[ashen needle]

thats a lot of money

[slim creek]

not what you would consider top tho

[shrewd karma]

idk looks similar to other offers

thats 4 YOE

yeah its comparable to Salesforce, Roblox, and some other unicorns in SF

[reef glen]

Bombed my amazon final lol mind blanked out and barely coded a few lines

[round sparrow]

Yup got an offer back in October. It's really chill behav and the technical they always ask is the shopping cart oop design one

[worthy terrace]

happens to the best of us

[marsh burrow]

Can you apply to new grad jobs without completing college yet and take a class per sem while working full time?

[fair yew]

@round sparrow how long after the interview do you hear back from them ?

*the vmware’s interview

[round sparrow]

i heard back the day after that it went positive, and two days later i got offer

[fair yew]

I see. Hmm, haven’t received anything from them yet. Probably no luck for me at this time.

[steady obsidian]

just 25% off apple products?

[fallow shuttle]

apple doesn't really give heavy discounts to employees

well with the salary you could buy most products yourself lol

[mighty sun]

Yeah, even the 25% is only for one per each product category per year. and then 15% off for the next 5-10 items per category.

[lilac cloak]

student discount for macbook pro

like $100 to $200

depending if you want the 13" or 16"

for the 13", that's a bit less than 7%

ig depends on what you want in it

[heavy forum]

can we talk about the M1X 16" macbook pro coming 4th quarter

that will be my first official big boy apple purchase ( just happening to coincide with some of my first "big boy" paychecks D-: )

very excited about that

[mighty sun]

yeahh! M1 16' MBP would be amazing!

[lilac cloak]

i thought it was 14"

and Q3

or is there also a 16" release in Q4?

[charred roost]

16" should be dropping sometime around Q4 yeah

If I remember correctly, the 13" M1 Pro can out perform the 16" non M1 Pro in certain areas

So the current 16" kinda isn't worth

[pliant hawk]

Wait 14” when 👀

[charred roost]

September ish?

Apple might tease it at WWDC

They usually tease their Pro products at WWDC and the 14" can count as a Pro device lol

[frosty ginkgo]

How much dyt the new ones gonna cost

im curious if they gonna increase, stay the same, or decrease

[runic tinsel]

I had an interview which involved data manipulation using pandas

I seemed to have forgotten a few useful methods and their signatures during the interview

So the interviewer had to suggest some methods

Is that bad?

I mean pandas is pretty extensive so I probably won’t know everything right

[charred roost]

Probably a tiny bit more

It is first gen tech after all

[steady obsidian]

hate companies that spam OAs to everyone then don't even proceed with their final rounds

looking at u rivian and intuit

[remote geyser]

Rivian is team specific

[pallid spade]

just reneged an internship with a 190k return offer 🥲

[remote geyser]

What for?

[pallid spade]

to make lattes at starbucks

[abstract wagon]

can I get a venti iced matcha latte

[steady obsidian]

i need a mf date for a formal tonight AHHHH

FUCK

if anyone is in texas, pls dm me ASAP

[terse torrent]

Oke

@split shuttle remind me to go when we back

[low epoch]

In TX we shoot covid with guns

[steady obsidian]

texas opened vaxx for anyone 16+

that's what u get for a red state, mfs dont wanna get vaxxed

bro i got my first dose like 1.5 weeks ago

[low epoch]

Vax should be mandatory

Human rights be damned

[abstract wagon]

isn't there already a new strain though

[steady obsidian]

covid vax unfortunately cannot be mandatory

[abstract wagon]

there was a new one in Cali from what I've heard

[steady obsidian]

because it's not FDA authorized

so the only way we can attend football games in person in fall is to actively get 80% of the population vaxxed

so, i was actually thinking of starting a campaign at my school to get mfs vaxxed

[abstract wagon]

snipe gotta be proactive

[steady obsidian]

maybe use react/gatsby to create a website for it?

YO SIDE PROJECT

yeah, Zoom Bomb vax website

the company i am interning for is in charge of the vaxx stuff so it works out haha

guaranteed return offer

[abstract wagon]

it's not a medical company, tech med rather

[restive falcon]

interesting reading

[steady obsidian]

ok bet

[heavy forum]

Part of the bombshell rumor was that pricing isn’t going to increase for the MacBook pro’s, at least the high end 16”. It will also have a new M1X, not an M1. Leaker said something along the lines of if you think the M1 is fast, just wait

I’m very psyched. Especially coinciding w making real money for the first time in my life I’m not even going to sweat spending $2k

On a 16” M1X in the fall. The M1 alone is just stupid fast as is

For context, an M1 MacBook air can blow out a spec’d out i9 pro from 2019

Intel & AMD are going to start losing slee

[steady obsidian]

Same.

[crimson brook]

Same. Pt2

My concern has always been money so I'd only buy windows laptops

But damn now that I'm making money this summer I'm ready to blow it on a good machine

[lunar dagger]

Guys I finally got an internship

It's at a small startup but at least to have something to do over the summer

[thick hare]

Congrats!!! 🎉🎉

[charred roost]

Let's fucking gooo

[charred roost]

It don't matter how small it is, offer is offer

[lunar dagger]

And I have a connection who's just offered me a spring coop, too
