Exactly
Working on Autopilot or Infotainment and stuff sounds super interesting lol
Oh hella cool
Yeah I'll be working on the backend
Glassdoor is split up into a bunch of microservices
One for each type of data they have for a company basically
So I'll be working with the total compensation data
ayeee seems impactful
Yee it should be an interesting role
I'm scared now starting my internship :((
like what if i am not able to perform well 😛
Leetcode grind helped me to grab the offers but again i m not an OP programmer
:((
You'll do just fine, they'll spend a week getting you up to speed and getting you familiar with everything so you won't struggle too much
hope so man
Cloudflare call Tom
For internship
But I'm supposed to graduate this week should I still take the internship
for cloudflare
did they have something like
'one semester of school left after internship' on their posting or something
Yea I
Applied with a December
Graduation
Lmaoo @muted apex
Cuz I wasn't sure if I was gonna pass
So I'm honestly still not sure
@charred roost so i talked to the company who gave me an offer and asked for an extension since i was still waiting on a response from another company, the company that gave me an offer told me to let them know if i got a better offer so that they could see if they could do something on their side to improve the offer. however, today the other company i was waiting on emailed me saying they rejected me
. should i email the company that gave me an offer and just ask if it’s possible to negotiate salary or should i tell them another company offered me something better so that maybe they can raise the hourly salary?
I personally wouldn't lie, but if you did idt there'd be any real reprecussions. I'd just ask them to negotiate and if they ask you to state the other company's offer, just say that you'd rather negotiate based on your worth as an intern rather than what the other company's paying you or something
should i mention a specific amount i’d like an increase to? right now the offer is $21 i kinda want to see how much they can increase but i’d like to see if at a minimum they could maybe give me atleast $25
I'd just ask them if they're up for negotiation and what their ranges are
And take it from there
Let them give you some sort of an offer first then give them a counteroffer
is there any template out there on how to write an email like this lol
I tried writing one for u but it's hard lmao
I think the main points to mention would be
1.) You'd like to know what their ranges of negotiation are
2.) You're grateful, but are ideally looking for a slightly higher salary (don't specify until they ask)
3.) Make sure to say thank you for the offer, and that you're extremely excited to have been given the opportunity to intern at x
And don't mention the other company
going to try and come up with something, thank you!
@lunar dagger should i discuss negotiation through email or make an email to set up a phone call in order to discuss negotiation?
i’d prefer through email since i feel like imma get nervous and mess up my points on the phone 😩
Yeah honestly email
It'll be easier on your end
And it'll give them time to talk to whoever's in charge of budgeting
could i drop what i’ve written so far, in order to see if it sounds alright?
Yeah sure!
Hi Recruiter,
Thank you so much for offer of employment! I am extremely grateful and excited about the opportunity to intern at CompanyX. I noticed that the base pay is $21.00 and I was ideally looking for a bit of a higher base pay. If it is not too sensitive, do you mind if I ask you what the salary range is for this role?
Thank you again.
Best regards,
alive
Yeah that sounds good!
ok you think i should mention a specific amount i’d like to increase? like $25 or nah?
I wouldn't and see what the recruiter says
anyone know where i can find the amex summer internship discord?
alright thank you again, i’m hoping they don’t rescind the offer now because i ask lol
Lmao they're not gonna rescind over asking for salary negotiation
Dw man you're chilling
Worst case they'll say it's nonnegotiable and you just accept
yikes just a call from the recruiter, and they asked me how much i would be asking for, told them i wanted like a $4 increase and they were like “i’ll speak with the hiring manager, but we are kind of on a deadline and want to know if you are serious if not we moving on to someone else”
not looking good, might’ve just fucked up the only opportunity i got lmao 
Bruh wtf
Tell them you're serious about the opportunity
And reiterate that you would PREFER a higher salary, but that it's not a deal breaker
But holy crap that's like kinda unprofessional imo
Like it's either yes we'll negotiate or no we're nonnegotiable
But I think it sounds like they want you to confirm that you're actually serious about it
And not gonna drop them for the other internship you mentioned
exactly, i reiterated to them i much prefer to work at their company and i’m very serious about it, but recruiter was kinda being rude about it, meh if they say i can’t raise i’ll just take it at this point
Think you might be reaching a bit since this is an internship + your only offer
I would accept what they offered and take it ASAP lol
Especially if this was my only offer
yeah internship salaries are usually set in stone - it's pretty rare to be able to negotiate those.
imma just accept it tomorrow then hopefully they not tired of me lmao
let us know how it goes 🤞
Hey guys Serious quetsion need some guidance,
Im fortunate enough to have gotten an offer from Western Union for a software engineering position for the summer. However It is an exploding offer. This means I have by tonight to accept the offer. However I have a final round interview scheduled with Coinbase for the systems administration role(not really much coding). I really like Coinbase and want to work there but there’s no guarantee I get the offer. Plus its pretty late in the season. Just wondering what you guys think. Im thinking of just taking the guaranteed Western Union offer. I wanna be as professional as possible and not burn bridges with Coinbase and be open to future oppurtunites.My goal is to become a software engineer or PM in the near future. I know this is a bad reason but my only worry is the name brand recognition (Coinbase being more popular than western Union in terms of industry. Also Coinbase Internship would not consist of much coding). I’m a sophomore about to go in my Junior Year hoping to get a FAANG or Unicorn internship for summer 2022.
Some background on me
-I am a Information Systems major (non CS) at a non target school
-Low GPA (below 2.7)
-No relevant industry experience
-Goal to become a SWE/PM in the future
-Minority( if that even matters)
-First Internship Offer
take western union imo
sys admin looks way worse than SWE if im gonna be honest
this isn't teamblind lmfao
like wot
its an intern offer
you don't negotiate these
you also don't compare offers for an internship based on pay, it's meaningless on the long run
overall bad move, just say clearly that you are serious about that offer, and say you would like to accept
take WU just because its SWE coding will go further
^
i would say just accept WU and then renege if you get Coinbase offer, but also if you're planning to be a software engineer in the future you are going to want to keep that software engineering internship because you kind of, you know, need to know how to program in a professional setting if you have hopes of being a software engineer in the future
Accept Western Union and renege if you want, you’re not burning bridges with coinbase since you would be simply declining the offer if you get it
yep accept and renege
Also I would like to mention for coinbase final round I would have to make a Salesforce App in a weekend go through three more behaviorals and make a Salesforce App and present it in front of them for 30 minutes.
So tbh I think Ill just take Western Union
already emailed the recruiter
this is for sys admin? doesnt sound like it fits the job desc
Yeah Its for Sys admin. Before the second round I had to get a Salesforce Trail beginner Admin Cert. They want me to build a custom salesforce app using that salesforce program and I Have to make an app that meets the requirements they give me. For the role I would be doing a lot of customer support tickets and using the salesforce tech.
not worth it bro even if its coinbase its a different field. just stick to the swe path w western and you'll be good
bet bro a lot of my friends and family had the same sentiments. Still wanna be very professional and send an email explaining that I'll cancel the final interview Should I mention Ive accepted the offer at another? and is mentioning the company a good idea or is that too much?
No need to mention the other company, you can just say that you have some personal circumstances that are preventing you from going forward with the process
I would take it and renege if u get coinbase
Anyone ever had to go through HireRight for a background check?
Yeah I just did my hireright background check like last week
guys i have an update, recruiter told me all they could do was have an increase of $1 leaving it to $22, since they had to take into consideration experience, skills, etc. i took it since i’m desperate and probably shouldn’t have negotiated in the first place lmao what a risk, but i’m glad to say i’m going to officially have my first internship 
thats like a 5% increase 
they went with another candidate 
lets goo congrats
congrats!
When did u apply for that
may 2nd, overall really quick interview process since i think company was desperate to hire a candidate and fill the position
Which company
Congrats. Hope you have a great experience and it leads to more 💰 soon.
small fin tech company
Do you typically have to give back the laptop you're given for your summer internship?
Just got my Salesforce laptop and I have no idea about that
Yes it’s company property
what laptop did Salesforce send? is it a Mac?
should i b worried if my manager said he'll call at 1pm but its 1;10 already
Yup
They could just be busy
But you could also just send them an email saying you were expecting a call from them but got nothing
yeah just give them some time
can someone link me the amazon renege template
^
How long does it take to get an offer from a company and how would I know if I passed the interviews? The interviewers didn't make many comments since I was able to solve the technical part and just told me I'm a good candidate. But its been a few days and I haven't heard back.
Not me, but a good friend of mine is
has anyone quit their internship in the middle ? what are the consequences ?
Yeah I've got a few friends looking still
congrats, yoinked that extra $1
Depends what are the reasons, and when you quit
Do companies let you use your own computer for work?
I have a desktop that I would much rather do work on than a company laptop
nah they have given the company laptop which I am happy to send it back
Mac
Lol most companies won't let you keep the laptop they send you
It's company property
I would give it up anyday , my selfrespect is more valuable than company laptop and $$
my self respect is not more valuable than a laptop, but i'll still send it back because i don't wanna go to prison
if you don't want it, I'll take the pc you built
l0l0
Lmao
I mean you can and should still use ur own PC for any personal stuff
And if it's a gaming PC, you can always play games on it!
ha you think that's impressive? my self respect is not more valuable than even a dollar menu item 
ha you think that's impressive? my self respect is not mroe valuable than bubble sort 
damn you got me
can't best you there
I've won, btu at what cost 
Everything
damn what happened that u wanna quit? if u dont mind tellin us
Have other Salesforce interns gotten a shirt in the mail recently? If so, do you understand it?
this might be better suited to the salesforce discord
probably look/post on r/csmajors
you can recommend someone else for a job if you want to decline the offer?
Definitely not for large companies, but a sometimes small (like less than 10ppl) startups are open to recommendations
I guess startups in general then?
Yes I'm actively looking for summer internship
Actually I would disagree in regards to big tech companies
Depends on the company/recruiter but you can definetly message your recruiter and say something like "hey my frinds qualified can you take a look at his resume" etc, and if then that might get him/her into the interview process
That's a good point actually
You can only use this command in #2021_grad_process or #2021_intern_process
hey guys question, I failed some OA's at some companies this summer 2021 including some FAANG's I know some companies have a six month rule where you cant apply until the six month cool down is over after you get rejected. I got rejected in around feb-may in that timeframe. Am a fucked from getting auto rejected when apps open up for summer 2022? or does the cooldown reset?
When apps open up in august and september
you could also just wait until after the x months if you're worried
Ok bet
I was just worried cause i know some companies open and close apps super early
well for those all you can do is apply and see right?
True, you right
Can we still apply for summer intern in start-up now?
Ye
Is there still chance for summer internship
For startups definitely
Use this
Ok sure, thanks dude
Has anyone interviewed for Sonos?
There is an amazon server, you can dm me if you want invite
honestly it's so large it's hard to facilitate real interactions w ppl lol
if there was an actual amazon server just for interns that'd be sick
While it is big, I still think it’s an awesome resource because there are tons of friendly people willing to andwer your questions
oh yeah for sure
but it's a lot of conversation overlap and i get overwhelmed and just not talk in there lol
ie. there's one intern chat for some 8k interns LOL
youre at gstep this summer right? @remote geyser
No lol
No worries haha
!process PHub OA
You can only use this command in #2021_grad_process or #2021_intern_process
Has anybody interviewed with Yahoo Sports(Verizon Media)?
Would really appreciate any information on the level of questions they have for the onsite interviews.
@lilac dew this for summer?
Mine is for a full-time position. But I know several people here had the intern interviews 🙈
I fucked up extremely badly on this first day at my internship. At some point during the last meeting I went to (in which I was the only intern), someone asked a question. Then it seemed that everyone else was replying by raising a number of fingers between 1 and 5. I had no idea of what the question meant, but I ended up instinctively raising a few fingers too anyway, the same number of fingers my mentor was raising, because I guess humans have strong innate urges to copy what those around them are doing. Soon afterwards, someone asked someone else when their intern would start, and said “well, after they start and everyone is here, we’ll go through this and explain everything.”
No return offer for me 😦
i think you're overreacting a little
just get your tasks done on time, don't be an asshole (you seem nice so doubt that'll be a problem), and you'll be fine trust me
I don’t get the situation
Not like anyone called you out and was like “tf are you doing”
maybe no one paid you any kind?
mind
lmao sounds like an embarassing mistake that everyone is gonna forget after 3 days
Don't sweat it man, you're big chilling
^
at least it wasnt like this https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/95dgrx/i_am_absolutely_mortified_and_embarrassed_beyond/

also guys quick question
so I got my laptop
and I start orientation tmrw
but rn my laptop doesn't have an ide on it or anything
but I can't install the one I prefer bc I don't have administrator access
do I just like wait and see what they tell me to do or should I email it tonight
you can just install it when you start lol
you'll probably be setting it up in the first week
usually the first few days/weeks is just setting up
ye
aight bet
Some companies have a setup script u can run from ur terminal and sometimes they require pristine laptops to function correctly (usually setting you up with ci/cd stuff while also installing ides, tools, etc)
Sounds like backlog grooming. You’re fine. Just ask lots of questions and learn from your mentor and you should get a return offer. And finish your intern project if you have one.
I can’t wait to start mine 😓 I’ll try to finish it ASAP to leave a good impression, and then ask for another project
I was invited to a 15-minute meeting at 10:15AM, but the onboarding session I’m in goes until 11 AM. What do I do?
Just ping manager or buddy 10:15 most likely daily standup which they might let u skip but just always reach out with your questions they are there to help
That’s the best move. Just keep grinding through the summer. Make some friends, get integrated into the team
Anyone else feel like they're drowning in their internship? I'm doing my first ticket and I've had to learn no less than 6 new tools in the first week with more to go... I'm scared as hell and feel like my manager knows... it is now week 2 day 2
ask for help
I was given a task and not told when I should finish it
I’m really nervous about it
I’m probably taking too long 😓
I’m also unsure about when I’m expected to stop working? It’s 5:39PM and I want to have dinner and take a nap but I’m not sure if I need to finish my task first
You could probably message your manager and just ask for a deadline if they're available
Or email too
Would he think negatively of me if I asked that?
I don't think they'll mind too much, especially since it's still your first week
I don't think they will, companies usually encourage interns to ask a lot of questions
He just said ”It’s fine take your time to understand the code and getting comfortable with the tools and code. That’s the main objective of these task.”
Absolutely not
I feel like this means I’m already taking too long
Tbh they don’t expect you to know everything in one day
Even senior ppl can’t do that
Lol it doesn’t you’re overreacting. They don’t expect you to be an expert
They aren’t going to fire you over small stuff like this let alone say your performance isn’t good
The first week of just a warmup
if they did, it would be concern lmao
You need to relax a lot lol
You just need to focus on doing better and learning everyday. That’s all it takes to get a return offer - make sure you communicate often with your mentor/manager
You should be continue to ask questions throughout the whole thing tbh
No need to be this nervous
What
I'm sad dude was a nice guy
Oof
Yea man
My heart beating fast hahhhahaa
I don't even know why I'm still anxious about it
guilt and first time doing it
Ye it always sucks when the recruiters have been so nice to you
hey guys quick question Im an MIS major about to go into my junior year and by the end summer I'll have a SWE internship, and a Social Media Market research externship (unpaid) at Facebook(6 weeks in length), and will have office assistant at my college on my resume. Will that be enough to at least get some notable interviews/ OA's from FAANG Big N for summer 2022 assuming I apply early. Or am I overthinking this?
Just worried im behind compared to mad people who have two internships before junior year
also wondering if me being an MIS major is gonna put me at a disadvantage
i think you’re overthinking it in the sense that it doesn’t seem like there’s much you can do anyways considering you have a swe internship and no one can realistically say whether or not any company will or won’t give you an interview
all you can really do is apply and try your best to not mess up the opportunities you get
i’d say MIS probably isn’t as well regarded as just CS, but I don’t think it’s a super big deal either and won’t be the deciding factor on whether or not you get an interview at 95% of places
there are people who go full time faang/big n/unicorn/quant or whatever places with 0 internships too and there are people with 4+ who don’t make it to their ideal company
neither are the average case though so take it as you will
@simple jay ok bet preciate it, guess I'll just spray and pray applications grind leetcode and hope for the best.🙏🏾
yup gl 🙂
If I have a jetbrains subscription, should I use my personal subscription for my internship?
My computer didn't come with any sort of ide so I'm assuming I'm free to use whatever
AaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAA I’m about to submit code for review for the first time
@sweet pollen feel blessed you have the opportunity to do so this summer, unlike people like me who've worked day in day out only to end up with nothing
I’m so sorry
Nice
Lmfao
has anyone here interviewed with samsung bixby
seems like there's a ray of hope here for me, last chance let's go 
im not gonna give up
you got this big man

@runic tinsel idk if anyone's told you this, but I'm proud of you for not giving up man
You go this
I’m about to be humiliated
@sweet pollen you're chilling. They're not expecting you to be a professional swe while in uni lmao
ye fax
Ye
just relax
You're doing just fine
u'll be fine
My boss literally told me the other day that whatever code I write will be complete and utter garbage, but that they'll help me improve
Like the expectation is that you have no idea what ur doing
And they'll help u work up from there
Also that sounded mean but he didn't say it in a mean way lmao
It was to be reassuring
Ye
Either ur managers a dick
or hes just brutally honest
hopefully its the latter
Nah urs lmao
that didnt sound chill ngl
He meant it in like a joking manner
lmaoooo
aight yea
bruh my internship start 6/21 lmao
and ppl already started theirs
But basically he was just trying to say that the expectation is that I don't know what I'm doing, and so I shouldn't stress if I'm confused or unsure of something
oh cool
nah
Which is low-key kinda nice
my classes end 6/11
Oof
oh rip
It's literally like a week tops
fuck colleges lmao
Mine also starts at that time
Mine ends in July also lmao
ayyyy
@sweet pollen here's an embarrassing story for you
I was having an issue where I couldn't start a project
Turns out I mf forgot to install dependencies
My manager and I hopped on a call and he was like
Uh did u install ur dependencies
And I was like
Uhhh
@sweet pollen bruh I’m in worse position than you’d my dev env isn’t working for a whole week and the whole team is trying to debug it for me
You are fine
Just keep pushing thru
To get fire or not get return offer, you have to be not caring or not doing work
^^^
Honestly 90% is just showing up, putting in the effort, and not being an asshole
uh not really no not at fb
usually each company has performance axis that you need to keep up with. you'll need to perform like a full time employee to receive a return offer
Oh wtf
Anybody done the Facebook discover production engineer program before ?
I have no work to do rn in my internship lol what do I do
I don’t meet w my manager again til tmrw so I’m just sitting here rereading docs
Felt dis
Wuts ur solution
watching twitch streams until I get a ping, setting up my workstation too
downloading notion my IDEs etc.
Smart smart
When was your start date?
This Monday
This is my first week so it’s kind of expected I’m not doing much so far
Ah yeah same
Amazon?
Nah
Ah ok
I’m not cool enuf for papa bezos
Where u at
Nuance Communications
hows it goin
im doing alright
got slapped with a lot of onboarding stuff
the usual
u?
i was gonna say wtf LMAO
bruh imagine first wk
3 days in and already shipping

i found out that at shopify you get like
8 fridays off
thats literally 50% of fridays in a 16 wk internship lol
does nuance do 16 week internships or 12 week?
good to know what Im missing out on
soon brother
12
Bro that's broken@muted apex
😭
yo btw
are you working 12-8 bc of cali time?
or 9-5?
does anyone know of a list of internships that are still hiring for summer 2021 (preferably remote positions)
I’d reach out to startups on LinkedIn directly if I were you
Back in March I setup a call with a company called Ambi thru a LinkedIn message, maybe cold message someone who works there
is it a good sign if the HM tells me to add him on linkedin at the end of the interview?
I haven't sent it, but he told me at the end of the interview "add me on linkedin id love to keep in touch"
Just submitted my second merge request in my internship. I’m extremely anxious because my code is horrid 😣 expecting the worst feedback ever from my mentor
My mentor seems to expect it
You're probably doing a lot better than you think you're doing. I don't think any manager or mentor will be expecting perfection out of an intern on their first week.
^
What do your guys' first week look like?
So far mine's been a ton of handholding lmao
And it kinda makes me anxious that I'm underperforming
wtf
someone in my connections just got an offer for ft amazon
but their last internship was at mindgeek...
I didn't even know they actually gave internships
I thought it was a meme
Same here
does your username reference a simp for 2022 ? lol
Yeah lmao
We gotta simp early now that all these companies are opening apps super early
a good time people apply 4 jane street swe intern for the smmer wod be september right?
are you going to apply to audible now or later
has anyone ever had experience with moving an internship for fall and giving ur summer position to a friend lmao
just apply when you’re prepared
when u apply has no effect (as long as they’re still recruiting)
context is for JS
if a recruiter emails me for a position (let's say X) but my interests lie in anotherr field/job ID (let's say Y), how do I politely ask my recruiter to consider me for Y? I tried thiis with my paypall recruiter and she ghosted after that
only do so if u have any other offer
otherwise i would say do the interview
U would anyhow end up learning something good and who knows u might be interested with that role after the internship
What’s the general advice on applying, like should you apply as soon as a company opens apps or wait until later
asap
oh wow lol
i thought some people wait for like school to finish to polish their resumes and stuff
Nah people polish their resumes during school too lol
Add a random one
Do people get a bad impression of you if you send Slack messages and/or commit things at night?
As long as it's not at like 3am, I don't think so?
if anyone is interested in security engineering, Zoom is still reaching out.
Definitely do a scheduled send if it’s outside like 6pm.
I was in an SF acquisition and at least in my experience, ppl try to reduce the late pings
But with commits, I saw people doing so at like 12am so it’s up to u
SF acquisition?
I try my best to keep it between work hours, but yeah as long as it's not middle of the night.
zoox is hiring an embedded intern for summer too
they don't sponsor right
Salesforce acquisition
@runic tinsel i'm not sure on that.
Who else is spending the weekend debugging their shitty code?
i spend everyday doing that
are you working unpaid overtime
No
Can anyone who's at salesforce this summer tell me how the interview process is like?
I'm done with the OA and I got both questions correct. However there's a bunch of people who applied so I don't fancy my chances
but just in case, I'd like to know how the phone interview is like
Did ur recruiter not outline the process for u?
OA is prob before the recruiter phone?
Yeah they did but im interested in how the phone interview is like
with the hiring manager and engineer
whether they ask LC hard/mediums/easy
Wow work is so much less demanding than college for me
I have a lot more free time now
At least you’re not panicking now lol
Take a course online if u can
That will solve yr dilemma
or maybe get more sleep? 
Isn’t this a good thing
She said a lot more free time
She didn’t say anything about sleep
Also I’m a math major
Math is basically a superset of cs
cs is basically a pokemon evolution of math
Did anyone here interview with Blackline?
Is it frowned upon if I'm interning for 6 months to take a long weekend or two while i'm there (like a friday) off
nah dawg do whatever u want just notify ur team/manager early on in advance
I spend my “free time” on LeetCode or CodeSignal or working on personal programming projects
how many LC have you done
Depends on the company
CS is basically applied mathematics
@green salmon for team meetings or 1on1s we all have our cameras on
I feel like in a smaller group it's the norm to have your camera on, but if you can't for any reason it's not a big deal
Do not recommend multitasking Leetcode tbh
Either do it before/after work or during lunch where you’ll have minimal distractions
It would be a dream to work for a company like _____. Even though the position you have linked above is extremely impactful, I am primarily interested in either Data Science/Machine Learning opportunities or Big Data opportunities at ____. I am currently specializing in these fields and have worked in data roles in the past through my internships and research projects.
After having gone through the _____ careers website, the Job IDs for the openings that interest me the most are as follows:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
^6 Does this email sound too demanding if I've been approached for a role that has NOTHING to do with my experience/skills?
Do you have any other offers lined up?
Nope @velvet badge
If not , I wouldn't risk anything tbh. There's a chance they might go with another candidate who's willing to do the OG role
Yeah it seems like the recruiter desparately wants to fill the role
If you compare this to say this one : https://www.tesla.com/careers/search/job/autopilot-backend-engineer-internship-summer-2021-90891
no one is gonna read this
I literally tick all the boxes for the tesla one but I don't get hit up for that. Maybe it has something to do with me not going to an elite school or something but it's pretty damn obvious that I have no experience with C++ and compiler dev
you need to list your education & experience in 2-3 sentences
@thick ridge Do you think I should send an email about this tho
Saying I have other interests
i mean I've cold called in a similar fashion
but with a much shorter email
generally its tough for a recruiter to take a chance on you tho
esp if you have no relevant exp
It's a definite interview for the app engineering role tho
oh wait
i misinterpreted
they can probably route you the right place
just ake this interview
you have a lot to lose if you have nothing lined up
you'll have opportunities for ML later
but i dont wanna do compiler dev tho
ill just take the interview as you said, because i know i'll get ghosted if i ask to be considered for another role
Take the interview, get the offer and endure a summer doing something you might not wanna do - cuz if this is your last chance you don't really have much of a choice sadly
Yeah, I guess beggars can't be choosers
I'm just lowkey fed up of doing shit I'm not fully invested in, if you know what I mean
Yeah I feel that man. Just need to work your way up, keep at it and you'll get to where you wanna be
Thanks for the guidance tho. Let's hope this role is somewhat interesting and I get an offer
Anyone gone through Alaska Industrial Hardware, Inc- Software Engineer Intern process?
where are you interning?
Anyone here working at coinbase right now?
what kind of stupid things
How’s MLH Fellowship?
there should hopefully be people here who are doing it, I got into Explore but pushed it back to fall 2021
originally i was supposed to have like 4 or 5 20-min meetings per week with the "team" and any possible extra ones
Cool I got the open source/software engineering track
Can anybody share their experience with them?
How did you get one? Hope you got in!
I'm doing core os somewhere else atm and would like to join apple 👀
Is this a summer intern role? Or fall
i haven't done anything yet; still no access to the code
Writing stupid code
@sweet pollen like: println("Hello, World!"); stupid code?
how's that stupid
@frosty ginkgo Gee I wonder how
console logging/printing is pretty essential to understand a codebase
It okay you're an intern they expect you to write dumb stuff just got to learn from it, take your time ask questions u got this!
Like “was not approved during code review twice” stupid code
them leaving comments to request changes is completely normal
@sweet pollen It's also normal to suck at your first internship. A lot of people feel this way. Don't get discouraged!
this
there's a new ft dev on my team, too
and he was onboarded around the same time as me
and like the other devs roast tf out of his code during code review lmao
it's completely normal I think
like not literally roast
like if they're being mean that's not normal
but they'll request changes a ton
or point out things that he should do differently/improve
anyone have a Shopify offer deferred successfully?
If i graduate in August should i spend anytime looking into summer/remote work? or just work on getting a job come the fall?
If anybody is last minute searching for an internship, this is a really good option. I did it last summer and it helped me get interviews at cool places since they have a career day with places like IMC and stuff.
More info:
Internhacks.com
do you get compensated? any perks?
I won prize money a couple times but the thing that was worth it the most was the coffee chats I got to do with places like Capital One/ Vekada/ IMC
oh gotcha what type of projects did u get to work on?
U get to chose
I was in the fintech part
"Sponsored by robinhood"
there were even some ppl that did it on top of an internship
yeah im thinking of doing it this on top of my internship
how many hours did u commit into the program?
I mean i didnt have any other internship at the time cause covid cancelled my real one so I committed more time. But there were some ppl on my team that practically did nothing
i was gonna commit more time to the weekend
Ya that would work
since i have work and lc grind on the weekdays
Are u a minority by any chance or go to an underrepresented school?
nah im asian man
which i have couple of internships
so i prob have low prority lol
im still gonna apply
ya but
im not a minority either
but got in bc my school is "underrepresented"? i guess
idk what that means tho
@merry sorrel
I feel like I'd be stacking on so much tho
i mean i go to white ppl school
also gave a sob story of how my internship was cancelled
so i guess im minority
lmao
but im def not minority in tech
nah it's not
they dont want target school ppl
it's top 50 school
idk
so it's still pretty somewhat known to ppl
doesn't hurt to apply
What's NCSU
nc state
oh u should be fine
exactly ^ lmao
yep
Cool cool
it's good school
we get alot of grad to faang according to some stat
like we r one of the top non targets school to send alumni to faang
Ya I was thinking of places more like Berk and stanford
Canada got a shit tech scene 
unless u r from uwaterloo or uot
Make a sob story
I'm from UofT
u will get in
Idk man I thought I would be competitive
Literally I was the only second year math TA
how many hours did you commit a week last year?
Like can you get by with 10-15 a week or naw
They usually take 4th year + kids at my university
cuz that's all I have to spare tbh
I probably did like 20-30 depending on week but there were ppl that did like 1 hr a week
lmao
is this like team-based?
ya
How knowledgeable do you have to be
You get put into a team and work on a project?
yep
eh
not very
do they have mobile projects?
Cause I'm like more self learning the CS stuff cause I'm from a math and stats background
I've had bad experiences with randos in Hackathons lol
same^
lol the good part is that there are high profile companies there
but don't you need to put forth like a good project
Just try to sign up for as many networking activities that u can
for them to notice you lol
no
interesting
u can legit talk about anything with them
did you land interviews at any of these companies through this?
I did like a 30 min chat with an engineer at capital one
and he gave like a starbucks girftcard
I got an interview with IMC
It also makes a good talking point in behavioral interviews
and I mean I was able to land 3 offers from it for the summer after even tho they weren't directly related
which places did u get an offer @ember stream
Spectrum, Alaska Air and Charles Schwab
ended up going with schwab
seems really cool
im def applying
do u happen to have any projects from the program?
sheesh
what area?
isnt the raleigh/durham area a mini tech hub
yea rtp is older than bay area
we don't have alot of big n or unicorn rn
we only got pendo and msft
we getting apple and google
possibly Amazon
amazon is eternal
ya, we made an android app for financial doc storage
also stripe, github, nvidia
we actually won best future vision even tho it was really simple
lmao
and datadog/ibm/nutanix 
oh yeah i forgot github is in rtp but it's under msft
oh shit i forgot them too
we actually have a small google site in chapel hill
apotify and coinbase also 
dang did u see alot of ios dev?
i wanna level up my ios skills and possibly backend
There were some but tbh no one on my team knew how to do anything lol
thanks man!
hey I wonder if anyone here hear back from Splunk for SWE intern remote position this summer? I had a last round interview with them on Thursday 2 weeks ago but I receive nothing from them yet as of today. I wanna check here if anyone had received an offer with them already.
you should follow up
alright I'll set to send another email to my recruiter tomorrow morning
i already sent once last Thursday
Software Engineer intern at Debater anyone?
splunk is notorious for ghosting in my experience. i've done their onsite 3 times and have never technically been rejected
ime they take a while to follow-up and sometimes forget about you

splunk recruiters i mean
if you have other offer deadlines, thats the best way to get them to put together an offer letter
splunk hired freshman? 😮
no i only have one interview with them unfortunately, so they were def not in a rush to send me a response
you can always try 🙂
the requirements are not impossible if some of you did some coding projects before college or 1st year

Anyone have any questions/interesting things I should ask my mentor-person (before starting internship)?
dn
do you mean dm ? lol
Summer?
good luck man, may you get questions that you have reviewed already
Im doing system test intern final round with them atm but yeah a ton of ppl i asked said they ghosted after final or took a hot minute to get back. My recruiter be ghosting me too :(
How long does it take to hear back after final interview?
usually a couple days
the longer they get back to you the lower of a chance you get in
depends on the company
!process smartstream offer
You can only use this command in #2021_grad_process or #2021_intern_process
Congrats!
thanks!
