my interview at broadridge
Will there be new grad roles in 2021 given the coronavirus situation+ economy?
absolutely
There is an argument for new grad roles being significantly more competitive. But there's no way new grad roles will disappear
already zamn
Anyone knows how APM 2021 will go? Lyft, Uber might cancel it
will lyft and uber even be around in 2021?
Airbnb layoffs rough
Amazon coming to swallow everyone with a terminal installed on their computer
Anyone else nervous bout new grad opportunities? As it is it was hard for me to get interviews this year, and now that there will be much fewer openings, it might be nightmarish.
Im kind of nervous
Not only might there be fewer openings
But interviews may be weird
Save up the juice
But interviews may be weird
@old kestrel What do you mean by that
On site interviews may no longer exist @lilac geode
Are you delaying graduation till Spring 2022? @cerulean pivot
@old kestrel Ohh yeah hadn't thought about that
@cerulean pivot when are you supposed to graduate
may 21
Wow
Sheesh delaying by a whole year is a lot
Would you just work more internships the whole time?
SUBJECTIVE
im picky
and if a company id work at full time wud let me intern in fall id go
idc about money fam
i do but i dont
i would rather wait some time to work at a place i rly wanna work at than just work at a company for the sake of working for money
you can still apply later though
its sorta privileged thing but i have enough money saved
ofc
but u move faster if u start off internally
as in u convert from intern to ft
but i see what ur sayin
an example
i see ppl that join uber as se2 with 5 yoe
u get that in <2 years if u just convert from intern
but in this climate idk if uber is the CASH money move
how
yea i dont remember seeing that they shared
in the post
but i think my reason still stands that u can move faster internally
but yea ur right id be losing out on a years worth of comp or w/e
<3
agahhaahah
yeah
idk i cant predict future
as in
i dont know who gonna recruit in fall for new grad so i dont know what my options will be
but yeah a fall back option is just going to faang
lol i say that as if its bad or something
yikes im cringe
but idk i just rly wnana like where i work
i feel like ur in less of control of that at some of the larger companies
That was cringe
who are u brett
Charles
who?
Yeah that’s a good range @sinful meadow
June is early
it popped off in late august early sept
But these apps are getting crazy
yea i remember akuna was like the first
last year
yea idk how it would look
i only had 1 internship when i applied last year but got a lot of hits
but that was for internships
not sure how it looks for new grad
its definitely better than nothing
Intern before graduating is huge
if I would have known about all this when joining college I would have made it my goal to intern at every FAANG
except Netflix cause no interns, yet
hmm
just stay in school
but I actually want work full time too lol
omg cant relate...
that means id have to accept im an adult
and accept ownership of my own life
NAH
lmao
if online
and not die
i'd do it since we're probably gonna be remote anyways
its only 3 classes id be taking
IT perks 😐
and i could just swap one hard class to be some easy filler class for credit
if i cared
I don't wanna do another virtual internship 😦
instead of taking algorithms i would just take INTRO TO HTML
i added mine to my resume
same
omg
i just submitted the wrong resume to apple
fuck
YIKES
hopefully she doesnt answer
and yea
idk their company is weird
u have to talk to a human
their recruiting*
Do yall submit resumes as pdf or docx
fellas, is working as a senior engineer at Netflix the move?
Their salary is like 400k
I don't think anyone could answer that besides someone who's worked there 😛
Most people I've heard talk about it says their workplace is toxic
but y'know, hearsay
i heard its like the varsity team there
sounds like wall street
Whats the FT interview cycle like at Google? A recruiter reached out to me but seems awfully early
How can I get to know recruiters during quarantine lol
Excellent question
Even without a quarantine it’s not like you were gonna physically meet them away way
Anyone know anything about working at khan academy
@old kestrel if you find out lmk bc I love KA
I read their eng blog occassionally
some cool work gets done
i interviewed a while back for swe intern
their process was super long, like 4 rounds or something
did you get a feel for the company @normal herald
They seem really chill. Some pretty smart people too. The inventor of Jquery works there
I remember hearing about that
Any other Spring 2021 grads thinking about possibly delaying their graduation to December 2021? A chance at another internship + the job market will be better by then
Yeah I applied for the Amazon 6 month thing which would make that an option also weighing grad school and maybe full time all up in the air 😬😂
I am not
fte netflix ?
y
Good vibes
I love Netflix
r u gonna qork there then
f
@old kestrel If Khan Academy wasnt in Cali I would love to be FT there
y khan academy?
khan academy is neat
i like the mission and stuff
even tho the product is pretty hit or miss (i guess they never miss huh)
@cerulean pivot I love the mission of Khan Academy
Its the reason Im doing so well in college regards to GPA for non-CS classes
The pursuit of knowledge and the distribution is important
Anyone know if Linkedin hires new grads that are not returning* interns?
Yes @coarse iris
what companies have data engineer new grad roles?
some companies will call it swe
so hard to say since it’s a sorta niche title
my last internship my team was doing data stuff but we were all titled swe
@cerulean pivot data analysis/ visualization type of stuff or full on machine learning algorithms/data mining stuff?
@tender dune still might call it SWE
normally more senior roles might be "data engineer"
sometimes ML positions will be ML Engineer but ive seen ML positions fall under SWE too
helps if you do research in the company or ask them what roles/teams a SWE can be on
at my last company I interned at it had a small dev team so all the SWEs did Full stack + Data Engineering + ML + DevOps, basically whatever needed to get done for that sprint. Some people did more of X tasks then others but they were all called SWEs
@worthy spear I see. Thanks!
would it be possible to stop this bot from posting for each new star added?
yea i’ll probably change for when only repo is updated
makes more sense
i’ll research into it tmrw
How does this get updated? It seems odd to me that there are more 2021 internship listings in their respective repo compared to full time new grad roles.
Ur welcome to submit a PR if you find more !!
its community populated @white mesa , the mod team has found some but these repos really only grow with community contribution
What's the period after which we can interview again at Jane Street if we mess up?
I heard they blacklist you after you fail their onsite, idk if its true though
Brett interviewed there, not sure if he can confirm tho
Ah yea was probably a rumor then
But hey, it's the internet, like lincoln said, never trust anything said on the internet!
Nah dude Blind would never lie
how different are interviews these finTech companies compared to normal tech companies
Harder in what way... LC or design or both
All
jane street will blacklist you for a year if you fail their onsite but only for quant trader iirc
not sure about their SWE role
i doubt they do
thats just a cooldown then
yeah
if you make it as far as their onsite you made it rather than almost everyone
why would they blacklist the people who made it farthest
i didnt even get an interview there
Heard there is an automatic GPA cutoff, somewhere in the high 3.8s low 3.9s
There probably is for JS
Is it time to apply yet
Almost
Someone fixed the Jane street link on the GitHub so you can apply there @high thunder
@coarse iris no, my friend with 3.6 got an interview, no referral, no recruiter, SWE position
new grad
Mid tier uni in Canada
Non waterloo/UofT/UBC/McGill
must be nice @stark veldt
i also had a friend, 1 internship, around 3.5 cgpa, uoft, on the uni icpc team get an interview
ICPC might help. I probably have no chance of cracking ours lol
It's w/e, just work at Big N for a few years and then try to pivot into JS/Citadel
that usually works too
You probably wouldn't want to pivot in after a few years of Big N. The comp catches up pretty fast and the WLB can't compare.
Seems like a case-by-case thing
Best believe comp at Microsoft/Amazon isn't gonna be comparable, but at places like FB it might be
Yea, that's definitely true
Also WLB is an individual decision, depends on what's going on in a person's life at the time
Plus it's not like Big N doesn't mean no 50-60 hour work weeks, on call is still a thing from what i've heard
at some places anyways
The comp at these firms doesn't really go quite as high as most people think. It'll be higher than tech for sure, but there's actually not that big of a gap for experienced hires
Yeah, the real big bucks are in quant and trading*, but that's also where the real strenuousness is apparently
when is it time to apply yall think for 2021 grad
Throughout the Fall 2020 period? and if you have a career fair on your campus in spring, maybe take a look into that
When do people start working for full-time jobs? Right after graduation or around August/September?
Depends upon your company @zenith marten
I mean when do most people start working? A week after they graduate or do they take a break?
Depends on start dates available seen right after to a few months
a good number of people start the following fall after they graduate
Is it time to start listing places to apply
There is a repo in the pins
To apply?
I mean if u see a listing add it 🤷♂️
Isn’t Game plan-Apply everywhere?
No
If no return offer then yes, personally
That’s definitely the game plan
How's that going for you @cerulean pivot
Did you start yesterday?
yea
Friend of mine as well
Hi all,
I recently graduated from college and would be joining a company on East Cost as a Software Engineer. I went to liberal arts college and their CS program was not very strong and I realized this during my sophomore year.
Due to which, I started my learning out of the classes. I started taking random online courses, wrote basic scripts and developed some projects on my own. The entire experience definitely made me a better Software Engineer. During my senior year, I started interview practice (although I was a bit late to this) I spent a good amount of time on interview practice/networking for referrals/resume-building and what not. Eventually I got into a company during the entire COVID-19 situation. I am really excited to start soon!
However, I believe I learnt a lot through hit & trial and gained few mentors during my journey. I genuinely feel that I should help other fellow engineers who might be struggling. I am not an expert at any of this; however, I might have a bit more experience compared to a junior/senior in college as I recently went through the pain of all that.
Any college student who might need help with interview practice, resume-reviewing, figuring out out-of-class-projects or anything related to CS classes.
I am thinking of doing bi-monthly 1-on-1s (open to doing less/more) and help with anything the person might need including but not limited to mock-interviews, resume-reviewing, interview-practice and etc.
Feel free to DM me. If you're interested, we can take it from there!
(P.S: this entirely free)
That was just one long post though, not multiple back to back.
@lunar mulch he posted in multiple channels
Ohh, that's fair. My bad.
@worthy spear sorry! Just wanted to let fellows know
I had one 1-on-1 with @tranquil rampart and he is very skilled and kind.. really helped and pointed me to the right direction
That's pretty neat joey, hope it goes well!
I checked the new grad github and it seems like Jane Street is somehow on there this early. Anyone apply to that posting recently and hear back?
Applied and was told they weren't open yet and to apply again later in the summer.
Lol then why have the link 🧐
Probably because they have some bar where they'll make an exception on who to interview but I didn't make it
It's part of the Jane Street Capital Mystique™️
My roommate is working there this summer. They had a pretty late recruiting cycle
They and DE Shaw had early postings, but didn't start interviewing until the same time we heard back from G/FB
Other quant firms were like late August
Lol your parent’s opinions are really that strong about Facebook 😅
Yes
Go work for zuck and sell personal data for a living
Social graphs r so interesting tho
Your parents ain’t paying you what fb would be paying
Mooood
lol u about to get me on a whole ass tangent about why u shud never live to fulfill someone elses expectations
there's a number of valid reasons why someone might not like facebook
true, you should not not work at facebook being your parents don't want you to work there
yea tahts all i meant
but maybe they have valid criticism about facebook, which would change your opinion
they could also be ex-facebook engineers, and didn't like it
Sorry for being OOTL, but did FB process for 2021 already start?
It’s open
Hey guys. I wanted your opinions on something.
I'm working on a project that I was hoping to put on my resume before I start applying for full time opportunities for 2021. I'm estimating that I'd be done with it by mid July +/- a week.
If I do wait until mid July to apply to Facebook or other opportunities that arise now, will I be at a disadvantage? Do you suggest I apply now and be one of the first to apply?
This is the grad channel haha
@tranquil pebble just Yeet it and include on resume
I thought they would open in early August
@tranquil pebble just Yeet it and include on resume
@high thunder
I had no idea what "yeet it" meant until I googled it right now. :P
@high thunder when u graduating
https://www.facebook.com/careers/jobs/1559217084255670/ is this for 2021? Doesn't mention a year so not sure if this is old or up to date
@sage fog 21
Litty my dude
Saw this on jumpstart, so makes me doubt the above posting even more
Anyone in contact with a recruiter recently that has asked/ could ask whether the 2021 cycle has already begun for FB?
@high thunder hey if you choose not to apply you won't be alone. this is the first cycle i can't bring myself to apply for FB. just some of zuck's comments recently are too much for me lol
@autumn locust I still applied
@autumn locust I still applied
@high thunder Same posting as above, or a different one?
Probably that
ok. Well there’s plenty of other companies to work for. You’ll be fine 👍🏻
Yeah I'm not ready at all to apply/interview right now. I was working under the impression that the cycle would start around the beginning of August, with the exception of Microsoft's which I've heard starts mid-late July.
If a company has multiple listings, should we just apply to the new grad one? Or spam resume to all the open positions
spamming will likely get your resume ignored lmao
Apply to the most relevant things
Yeah don’t apply to all open positions just apply to new grad or ones that are a good fit
sounds good 👍
So I shouldn’t apply for CEO or senior swe in unicorn or FAANG while in high school?
I'm ceo of faang and in uni, ama
I'm the CEO and also janitor of tsukuyomi corporation
But ye, def apply to those that suit your strengths
curse those companies who have 20 open positions and literally make a separate posting for each one
Just wait, I've seen open positions be template positions with nothing filled in
yeah some seem to be leftover from last year, they require graduating in 2019
Which companies besides the HFT/Prop Shop/Hedge Fund/400k-straight-out-of-college ones have opened apps for 2021 new grads? I haven't found any yet
Got the IMC coding challenge
aye
Applied 2 hours ago lol
fulltime?
They already opened both FT and internship applications
Feelsbadman, I really should have started prepping earlier
Based on website since early May
It's cute how they ask for your best result on SAT/ACT
Lol yeah that was kinda weird 🤣
lmao i just realized there was a typo in my resume, that's a great start to this recruiting season
Got the second round for IMC
Damn nice!!
Got the second round for IMC
@uneven topaz
Wow. How was the coding round?
Damn dude lol
O(n)
i couldn't finish it. had set up everything but ran out of time to actually return the answer rip
Rip
yeah that helps, guess wouldn't have made it anyways
isn't the next round behavioral phone interview tho? or are u talking about onsite coding
It’s a technical behavioral mix I think
They said both HR and engineer are gonna be looking at it
Also how r onsites gonna work in general this fall lol
I feel like they can’t fly ppl out
Gonna miss traveling to diff cities for this stuff
yeah, i think they will just do onsites as day of video interviews
Sad
It wasn’t rlly like leetcode
Like at some part it was
But its like more of a word problem
so a lc problem disguised as a word problem
Where I’m from we just call them problem
anyone get accepted into graylock tech fair yet?
I haven’t heard back
i got added on linkedin by a person who works there and they told me theyre reviewing my application
but i havent heard anything via email yet
Ahh sickk
yea so im hoping is not a reject and that they just haven't sent out acceptances yet
oh from the website you’ll be notified of your application status in early July.
and the event is mid july
Yea probably should hear back this week then
That’s pretty cool that they added you on LinkedIn
probably they'll send stuff out starting wens
yea it was a university talent person
Yeah I think they said by July 7th
Greylock?
Greylock tech fair
It’s a virtual career fair mid July that people brought up mostly unicorn type companies going
https://greylock.com/university-programs/ @high thunder
So is the repo still being updated? I saw the FB new grad position was being discussed but its not in the repo
Feel free to PR
Did you hear back from FB @high thunder?
No
Hey are you able to do a OOD round in python? I haven't used java in a year haha
For new grad yeah if u find stuff put in a PR on the repo
Yeah it’s still super early in recruiting season
Someone above even said that one listing is obsolete
Like its from last year apparently and they aren't even hiring yet
I got insta-rejected anyway so that's what I'm going with 👍
What company?
It's like
A leetcode Hard and 3 mediums
Leetcode hard , 2 mediums and one easy/medium
The one I did for internship at least
Think it's prob the same for new grad
Is there any difference between Facebook swe vs frontend swe interview process? Does anyone know what can we expect especially on a frontend interview on a typical day. ?
I’d assume they’re very different with front end being focused on design and design frameworks
eh i dont think so
at my current workplace, they have typical rounds of algos, frontend archtiecture round depending on lvl, and then they have a project u do in a 1 hour window which involves building a site using react
I remember seeing posts on Leetcode Discuss regarding the interview loops for frontend for I think FB, and they did involve LC iirc, so LC is probably still a focus
how much of a site would you make in an hour
no one has actually finished
not about finishing
about explaining design patterns/see if u write trash code
cuz u can structure components in diff ways
Know a guy doing FE facebook internship and it was LC applied to the web e.g. traversing the DOM
about explaining design patterns/see if u write trash code
frontend - design patterns
pick one
got my first official rejection for the 2021 cycle, sadge
😦 where
At least I didn't get ghosted I guess
some company called whisper.ai, never heard of it lmao
saw the posting on linkedin i think
Crunchbase says their size is 11-50 employees, that's pretty tiny so i guess they're only going to be looking for a couple of new grads at most, not surprised
Cool thanks> Know a guy doing FE facebook internship and it was LC applied to the web e.g. traversing the DOM
@devout burrow
@old kestrel eh just crush it at Apple, and you won't have to stress about applying to more than like 10 other places, (almost?) none of which are even open yet
Can you guys please update here as and when you come across an open job? I'd do the same.
yea none of the places i'm planning on applying to have opened yet
i think a good thing this server will allow for is updates @tranquil pebble so that ppl can be aware of different processes and when different applications open
that being said that discussion won't really ramp up until closer to august
what places, if you don't mind my asking @old kestrel
probs google, apple, two sigma, rentec, msft, fb are my main targets to get offers from. But also smaller tech firms like stripe, uber, lyft would be cool
i have a larger list but those are the main ones @coarse iris ill probably be applying to about 30 total just to get offers and compare them & since interview season will be weird this time around
i think a good thing this server will allow for is updates @tranquil pebble so that ppl can be aware of different processes and when different applications open
@old kestrel
Yup that was what I was referring to. Thanks.
@old kestrel What have your previous interviewing experiences been with past internships? I'm at ~300 LC done, feeling alright about it but never done a LC-style interview so not completely sure how ready I am.
I always gotta flunk a mock interview before I can feel relaxed in the real interviews.
You gotta recreate the feeling up of freezing up in front of the interviewer and then learn to relax and regain your composure
It's like sports, you can be godly in practice but nerves can stop you from performing
with internships usually the questions aren't too hard bar two sigma
so if you can do mediums thats probably good @urban hemlock
anyone still updating this?
Put in PRs if anyone sees anything
Yeah rn it’s mostly PRs, and the mods will start maintaining it ourselves more once we finish our internships and more posting come out @worthy spear
Corgo is at MS
nice
Gang gang
Im at HRT
Anyone did the IMC 30 min pre-recorded interview? Was it hard?
👋🏾
I thought I did well but got rejected so 🤷🏾♂️
It’s both technical and behavioral so get ready to answer quick
oof yea its pretty weird tbh
I see, that's really hard to prepare for then
Did it have an LC component @uneven topaz , or just theoretical concepts?
I got ghosted by IMC lol, they just said wait for a few more weeks while we finetune the process or something
Oh rip
I was just curious
Ya it was just so fast paced
This was the round following the coding challenge?
Yessir
Weird, why not just do a regular phone interview. I know Goldman does something kinda similar but that's just 5-10 minutes long and completely behavioral.
Someone still needs to watch it though right
Unless they automated the video answer extraction process
All they need is ur responses
hm
Also regular phone interviews are arguably more stressful imo, since you can feel the disappointment of the interviewer through the phone
But you're right about the prerecorded question part
Got rejected from greylock techfair rip
^same rip
Still haven’t gotten an email but feeling the rejection 🤣
Hopefully you get in!
As I typed that the rejection came through 😂😂😂
Is grey lock tech fair supposed to be that hard to get in?
I’ve never heard of Greylock until i applied like a month or two ago
Yeah same it was posted a couple times in here so I applied
I seriously hope it’s worth attending lmao I haven’t been a fan of the recent virtual career fairs this year
Also rejected from Greylock. Was looking for more product oriented roles instead of dev
Did you get in? @snow kayak
yeah, i got in. @old kestrel
Nice
I think it’ll be setup well
There were a lot of cool companies on the list
Idk how easy it is to get interviews from it though
I wonder that too, I’m just interested in getting my resume seen
Yo @snow kayak do u have a big name uni/internship in ur resume? Just curious. I got rejected too LOL
I got in. No Name uni but big name internship
@fresh moat I wish, my resume feels lacking in experience but I think it’s well-written which helps lol
Made an insightful comment on Jumpstart from an IMC recruiter and got the OA after being put to the side 🙌
IMC OA was decent spent too much time on parsing input cause they had to make it so difficult 🤣
People who received the Citadel new grad SWE coding challenge, when did y'all apply?
I got it sent to me like within 10 minutes like last week
Was this for the rotation program or some other role like Data Engineering? @tired bay
Cool. I applied like 12 days ago but no response, guess I got ghosted
Do you guys recommend applying to all the openings rn or waiting a bit so I can practice more
If u don’t feel confident wait there is only a a select few things open currently
@tired bay how was citadel test anyway?
It was on the hard side IMC was easier
practice more
Lol yeah I def will be
Fr same
been slackin on lc since ive started my internship
@sinful meadow facts I was grinding then as soon as mine started ive had no motivation for it
Yeah return offer is the goal
Didn’t even know LeetCode was a thing til April tho so I’m behind😂
hows ur internship going @lilac geode
@cerulean pivot really good doing some cool stuff and fuck with my team a lot
Getting good feedback from my manager so hopefully I’ll get a return offer
I’ll be a senior in fall
nice
You’re at Uber right how’s that going
going good dude i really mesh well with my team and enjoy the work a lot
if uber gives out return offers then i shud get
but ya its uber so 🤷♂️
I’ve been really surprised at how well the remote stuff is being handled
yea but i wouldnt be returning to uber because its uber
i would be returning becaeuse im working with the same team and doing the same work
Ya for me I think Apple teams need to have headcount to give a return offer and idk if my team has space or not
yeah i just have to interview prep which is annoying
i have a interview on thursday and im really rusty
it will be funny if i bomb
Who’s it with
snapchat
Oh damn didn’t know their app opened
yea the most recent asked questions r all hards LOL
and yeah im like 3 classes from graduating
i have enough bandwidth to wor ktoo
Oh good shit
Lowkey just waiting for new grad interview season to be over so I can just sit back and relax
Yeah I’m def anxious for it that’s why I want it to be over😂
i had a referral
they seem to be really exclusive with the intrenship postings as in i havent actually seen a intern posting on linkedin/glassdoor
like ever lol
@cerulean pivot You're interviewing while doing your internship? I was wanting to start applying to places but wasn't sure how it would work while being full time at internship and interviewing.
Its pretty easy now that we're remote, just schedule a time that you have free
^ I schedule interviews during my lunch break or right after work, but we’re all working remotely so it’s much easier to rearrange my schedule
L3Harris has a lot of things up as well
Not considering them
Lol true just pointing it out for people that wanna go for defense stuff
anyone knows when will bloomberg and google open
Does Apple have specific new grad posting?
No
Bloomberg should open in Aug/Sept
anyone knows when will bloomberg and google open
@worthy spear For Bloomberg, recruiter said look around Sept
Anyone done the imc test/how was it?
It wasn’t bad the input is a pain to deal with but the logic isn’t anything complicated
Anyone get JS or HRT OA’s yet?
Is IMC test proctored ?
No and pretty sure on their website they mentioned looking up stuff in docs is all good
@feral gazelle
okay thanks @tired bay
New grad software eng
did they close that position? because i dont see it anymore
or did you get a referral?
Idk I hit it yesterday
I applied yesterday as well 🤣
@tired bay what year r u ?
Going into senior year graduating in May
I got act 32
i had a 1500 and didnt pass resume screen
idk
i had google on my resume
and 2 other internships
and a startup
probably my school name
lol
yeah
sucks
not like imma transfer and start paying for school tho
`Hello Brett,
Thank you for taking the time to interview with IMC for the Software Engineer Intern - Summer 2020 role. We enjoyed learning more about your background and appreciate you taking time out of your busy academic schedule to interview with our team.
It has been an incredibly competitive recruiting season and in turn we need to be highly selective. After careful consideration, we’ve decided to move forward with other candidates whose skills and experience more closely align with our current business needs. Should our needs change, we will be sure to reach out to you at the appropriate time.`
if ur wondering what they say
Hey guys, any new openings for grad in Australia?
I got something from imc, don’t believe I’m 99th percentile
What does imc stand for?
my sat/act scores were not so great. got something from imc though
Wait is this a hs chat
No, this is a new grad chat
2021 college grads
Oh gotcha I didn’t look too deep into the chat but why’re we talking about act and sat scores re: recruiting again?
Some internships have freshmen positions that require sat/act scores I think
@rotund tusk don’t I know you from somewhere
@fossil hazel integrated marketing communications... apparently
Oh right
^ lol I’m a grader for the summer rn and holy cow the public complaints are only the tip of the iceberg lol
Yea for 70
I didn’t take the test myself cuz I didn’t need to but in the main thread people were clamoring for clobber and once clobber came out, the group of students that did well wanted no clobber or smth lol
For imc I had a full time coding challenge but when I submitted I received no feedback on it I got the question right lol
@worthy spear wym received no feedback? Just submitted mine too
@lilac geode like I just saw an end screen saying thanks for submitting
There wasn’t any feedback about how many cases I passed
Oh yeah all I saw was “passed initial test” then that
Wait it says you passed the Codility screen?
Or like the basic test cases
Did u have the same archaeology question?
I’m assuming it was just the basic ones and won’t give us the actual results
I did a problem for IMC that was that architect and search strings question
On the final screen after I submitted I didn’t see anything like “passed” or anything. It just says thank you for completing the test
Yeah that’s what it did for me
Yeah OAs never tell you wether u passed in general
I mean they do... citadel, HRT, etc all give how many cases you passed
Well most I have done don’t ever tell you
Abbreviation of HRT?
Hudson River Trading
^
Have full time 2021 new grad roles opened yet?
yeah theyve just started to open up
Which places do you know?
we have a github repo
Thanks
but were not actively maintaining it yet
just prs right now
but there are quite a few open now
HRT
Jane Street
Cisco
Citadel
Thanks
Hudson River Trading
@snow kayak thanks
HRT's job application questions are kinda odd
On LC I saw people being interviewed New Grad for bloomberg hmmm... I wonder where they applied
Lol the one on first page was for June 2020
Just asked about things like sexual orientation
Probably for EEO purposes to seem diverse
Yep
For those who have interviewed a lot before, what percentage of Q's you have gotten are straight from LC?
For my past internship interviews I only had one or two straight from LeetCode the rest were more like asking how I would implement certain features and creating quick programs that would be like a feature that you’d build on the job
But no clue how new grad will go
Depends on the interviewer, some interviewers do copy paste lc questions, some turn it into word problems
Just got reject from IMC.
should've sent the offer rejection first
@teal finch when did you submit the test
@teal finch when did you submit the test
@lilac geode yesterday
Yesterday at like 8pm est
Oh I submitted around 3 EST
Damn we all submitted it yesterday lol
Just got the HRT test
Is there any one who gave Goldman Sachs HackerRank test and waiting for the results?
Me!
Me!
Are all big companies done hiring for 2021?
For how many days u guys are waiting?
i think they hire a year in advance
So is it too late to apply? I was gonna start from August
This is the beginning
I’m a EE major bit fell in love with CS and that’s the career I want to start off with
Gotcha thank you @drowsy cloak
@drowsy cloak 6 days
I think August is a good time
It's been almost 5 days for me. Which location did you applied? @echo vortex
For me it's Singapore
Let's see. Best of luck ☺️👍
You too 👍@drowsy cloak
@drowsy cloak do u know if they re for fall winter or summer ??
what’s imcs full form
Imc trading?
if there's anyone who's interested in a mobile app dev opportunity, please check it out in #699535000911216740 ^_^
sorry for interrupting
How bad was it @high thunder
I didn’t pass all the cases that’s all
PayPal posted University graduate position
@drowsy cloak their careers page says not avaliable ,, where did you find the postings
They all over LinkedIn @lilac latch
But yeah found it interesting that site wasn’t updated
Just got invited to the video interview for imc
Me too
Is that the second round?
Or is it the “logic challenge”
And I don’t believe anyone is interviewing us? We’re just recording us...?
Yeah
So it’s really just a coding challenge but they watch you
Just a recording
Yea so it’s pretty much a coding challenge lol but presumably a lot harder
You think it’s for sure coding?
Idk ac tally lol
I’ve had some recorded interviews that are all behavioral
Yeah it was really weird
I did see it on Reddit that the Imc is behavioral
So it’s a one way behavioral conversation ...
Bruh that sounds wack lol
Its a behavrioual + technical
The technical questions aren't coding questions, they're questions about things like threads and other systems stuff
Ah fuck this is where not being a compsci major will fuck me
I'll be graduating next year. Should I apply for the PayPal opening that they have sent out?
If you can start next summer full time then yeah
@astral garnet do you know how hard it is to advance to the final round?
iunno i got rejected after video
Oh. Was it hard?
@astral garnet anything I should start studying for the imc video
@lilac geode are u gonna take it tomorrow?
Tomorrow or Saturday
I feel like if we take it Saturday we’d be disadvantaged? Cuz we took the coding challenge yesterday and heard back today
Oh yea bro I’ve literally lost all track of time during quarantine
Lmfao I took it three days ago
Or 2 days ago I mean
Oh yea bro I’ve literally lost all track of time during quarantine
@worthy spear facts😂😂
Yea imma take it Saturday so I can research some more facts about OS and stuff
Bet yeah lmk if you find any good resources
Has anyone given IMC online video interview?
@stuck turtle
Medium level
How many questions?
I don't remember exactly
But probably 8
All technical??
Mixed
Oh okay, anything to revise and important for test?
undergrad level subjects
Basic questions
Hey guys. I need some advice.
I have a friend who's ready to refer me to a company for a new grad role starting 2021. They put out their applications earlier this week. But he won't have access to his office laptop until Monday/Tuesday. Should I wait until Tuesday (latest) for a referral or should I not waste any time and apply right away?
Bottom line: is a referral worth waiting 2 days to apply
Yes wait
Do both
Well the thing is sometimes if you apply before somebody puts in a referral, they have nowhere to put in the resume. I'm not sure if this particular company does this, but it has happened with me before.
So referral before applying is the move?
That's what I generally try to do, yeah.
Gotcha thanks
I have google on my resume, a referral, and FB didn’t even move me past the resume screen wtf
Anyone know if getting more than one referral makes a difference than just one
@worthy spear was that for new grad or internship?
New grad
Idk it could be because a lot of google interns stay at google so they might think they’re wasting their time but I really wanted to go to FB lol
Whaaaat
I just finished IMC. how well do u need. To do to move on?
Anyone got any advice on how to cold email/message recruiters on linkedin? Is it even worth doing? I am not sure how to randomly talk to recruiters without it being kind of awkward and not really getting anywhere with conversations
Bro go to csccareeradvice on reddit I just saw this really cool post
Actually I’ll link it
254 votes and 33 comments so far on Reddit
How likely do you guys think it is to get asked system design questions during new grad interviews. Debating if I wanna use some of my time studying that or just continue grinding lc
From what I heard, Bloomberg and Amazon ask system design for final round
Any good resources for preparing the hr interviews?
LC problems @stuck turtle
Has anyone done the Discover pymetrics games
Pymetrics is so dumb
what's pymetrics
Banks like it for some reason
Some stupid ass game where you count balloons and then somehow it’s tells the company if you’re smart or not
Yeah I’ve never heard of it before I got the email from them
Sounds like a concussion test lmao
sounds exactly like something i'd take in hs
Lol I did a concussion test in high school
The concussion test was actually hard
Pymetrics is just dumb
pymetrics sounds like a python library
import pymetrics where's my 80k+ job bank?
2010
Are companies that are opening internships for 2021 also opening full time new grad?
Some
very little 2021 openings rn
Pretty much only the trading firms and a few others rn
More info on FB should be released this week
@snow kayak what kind of info?
Probably when the official recruitment cycle begins or when they’ll start interviewing
They’re having an invite only event called Wayfinder this week to get to know various careers at FB, hoping they’ll talk about recruitment
Got it. Thanks
Just got invited to HRT phone screen despite 77% on OA
good shit
Dag
im not a graph
@high thunder where did you get your test score?
@high thunder did you apply to citadel through referral ?
@high thunder same here
Was surprised how fast it came
Do they just send it to everyone
@lavish willow no just googled for link
Nutanix did this last year
They gave OAs to everyone. Once you're done with it, they'll look at your resume
Yo @high thunder how long did HRT take to give you phone screen after OA? Been like 6 days since I did mine
Thursday to today
tf, why they taking so long for me lol
How are you all getting in touch with recruiters?
usually just by applying and getting one assigned to me
other than that u gotta finesse
I said I have deadline
Do u
Yes
how far is ur deadline
msft return offer
L3Harris too
L3harris had the weirdest application applied there yesterday
yeah seems like they sent out offers back in like January for Fall 2020 grads
For which position you guys applied at citadel. Can anyone share the link?
I have applied in there rotation program for Europe location didn't hear back yet.
It's ben two weeks
The page after submit
@high thunder
maybe it's different for me cause I applied for an internship position
@high thunder can you help me
?

@drowsy cloak

@drowsy cloak
I applied to software rotation program full time
For which location?
NYC CHICAGO LONDON
Citadel OA hackerrank EZPZ
what were the level of difficulty of the questions @high thunder
2 Questions, mine is like 1 medium and 1 hard
Did you finish all
didn't pass all the test cases
the hackerrank gives you all the tests
Oh
There aren’t more tests other than the locked ones you see if you pass?
That’s kind of them
If anyone is doing Wayfinder this week, connect with the people from the lightning talks! I’m sending personalized messages to each one and I just got a response!
Just got invited to HRT phone screen despite 77% on OA
@high thunder do you get the OA immediately after applying?
Few days maybe?
well, amazon is in faang
Yo, I might have an internship with a SF startup, but it's unpaid and I live in Canada
Do you guys suggest doing it?
I wanna do Google EP Practicum for the summer
2021
Just finished my 1st year
I strongly suggest never doing free internships but that’s my opinion
Oh okay, I go to a pretty bad school, and i thought having the name of an SF startup might bulk my resume up for Big N companies @snow kayak
I mean if you literally have nothing then do it but try to find a paid internship asap
okay, i saw alot of companies already posting positions for summer 2021 so i was like, holy crap i'm all out of time.. lol
Lol we only at beginning
lmao, reddit made it seem like everything had already been filled
Maybe depends on the sf startup
If you’re going to volunteer your technical abilities, I would do it for social good (plenty of non-profits and small businesses need help rn). I’m not providing free labor for a startup that’s not going to last a year and could afford to pay for an employee.
okay, i see, maybe helping a social movement would be a good idea
^ or you could work on personal projects instead
Second personal projects as well ^
Do hackathons, coding competitions, something that benefits you.
Working on open-source projects is awesome too
do leetcode
anybody hear back from IMC video?
@high thunder did the Citadel hackerrank OA need a webcam? I'll have to get a new one tomorrow if it did. 😞
No
Cool. Thanks
No
out of faang/big4, which would you guys like to work for the most and which one the least?
Most? Microsoft or Apple
Least? Facebook or Google
🤮 big n
@old kestrel ?
@lone vale toxic
what's your issue with google?
google is good
if facebook had tc on par with microsoft it would be a joke
Most? Microsoft or Apple
Least? Facebook or Google
@high thunder that’s like vice versa of most ppl
I like how u didn’t even mention amazon
i think most ppl would say top are Google,Apple,MSFT and bottom is FB,amazon
if doing bigN
^^
I’ve heard pretty bad stories from Amazon
$$$
except TC and prestige
tc
would i be crazy to take aws offer over fb?
no
What’s so bad about fb?
:/ good or bad it's still pretty good if it's hard to get in and many people want to get in there
its for the money
people only wanna go there for tc
