#

Will there be new grad roles in 2021 given the coronavirus situation+ economy?

coral coral
#

absolutely

cerulean pivot
#

ur asking if new grad roles will be > 0

#

ofc

coral coral
#

There is an argument for new grad roles being significantly more competitive. But there's no way new grad roles will disappear

#

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.

old kestrel
#

Im kind of nervous

#

Not only might there be fewer openings

#

But interviews may be weird

high thunder
#

Save up the juice

cerulean pivot
#

this is y u do internship and delay ur graduation

lilac geode
#

But interviews may be weird
@old kestrel What do you mean by that

old kestrel
#

On site interviews may no longer exist @lilac geode

coarse iris
#

Are you delaying graduation till Spring 2022? @cerulean pivot

cerulean pivot
#

idk yet

#

maybe not

lilac geode
#

@old kestrel Ohh yeah hadn't thought about that

#

@cerulean pivot when are you supposed to graduate

cerulean pivot
#

may 21

sage fog
#

Wow

lilac geode
#

Sheesh delaying by a whole year is a lot

#

Would you just work more internships the whole time?

cerulean pivot
#

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

normal herald
#

you can still apply later though

cerulean pivot
#

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

normal herald
#

thats true

#

it would be easier

cerulean pivot
#

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

old kestrel
#

That was cringe

cerulean pivot

old kestrel

cerulean pivot
#

#

last year

#

#

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

normal herald
#

its definitely better than nothing

cerulean pivot
#

maybe i shud just intern 10 times

#

^_^

dense pond
#

Intern before graduating is huge

normal herald
#

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

cerulean pivot
#

they got interns

#

#

ppl

normal herald
#

hmm

cerulean pivot
#

cerulean pivot
#

#

aND netflix

normal herald
#

cerulean pivot
#

#

NAH

normal herald
#

lmao

cerulean pivot
#

no lie i think i can intern in fall

#

and still take classes

calm cove
#

if online

cerulean pivot
#

and not die

normal herald
#

i'd do it since we're probably gonna be remote anyways

cerulean pivot
#

its only 3 classes id be taking

tired bay
#

IT perks 😐

cerulean pivot
#

and i could just swap one hard class to be some easy filler class for credit

#

if i cared

calm cove
#

I don't wanna do another virtual internship 😦

cerulean pivot
#

instead of taking algorithms i would just take INTRO TO HTML

normal herald
#

#

intro to html lol

cerulean pivot
#

i added mine to my resume

normal herald
#

cerulean pivot
#

and i use it as clickbait

normal herald
#

yep

cerulean pivot
#

tired bay

fickle timber
#

fellas, is working as a senior engineer at Netflix the move?

normal herald
#

Their salary is like 400k

calm cove
#

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

old kestrel
#

i heard its like the varsity team there

sage fog
#

sounds like wall street

worthy spear
#

Whats the FT interview cycle like at Google? A recruiter reached out to me but seems awfully early

opal valley
#

How can I get to know recruiters during quarantine lol

sage fog
#

Excellent question

old kestrel
#

Even without a quarantine it’s not like you were gonna physically meet them away way

old kestrel
#

Anyone know anything about working at khan academy

worthy spear
#

@old kestrel if you find out lmk bc I love KA

#

I read their eng blog occassionally

#

some cool work gets done

old kestrel
#

i applied to their internship but never heard back

#

i heard its a fun startup env

normal herald
#

i interviewed a while back for swe intern

#

their process was super long, like 4 rounds or something

old kestrel
#

did you get a feel for the company @normal herald

normal herald
#

They seem really chill. Some pretty smart people too. The inventor of Jquery works there

sage fog
#

I remember hearing about that

sharp flame
#

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

tired bay
#

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 😬😂

old kestrel
#

I am not

high thunder

cerulean pivot

@old kestrel If Khan Academy wasnt in Cali I would love to be FT there

cerulean pivot
#

y khan academy?

old kestrel
#

its cool

#

i can meet sal khan

old star
#

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)

worthy spear
#

@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

sage fog
#

The pursuit of knowledge and the distribution is important

coarse iris
#

Anyone know if Linkedin hires new grads that are not returning* interns?

old kestrel
#

Yes @coarse iris

tender dune
#

what companies have data engineer new grad roles?

cerulean pivot
#

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

tender dune
#

@cerulean pivot data analysis/ visualization type of stuff or full on machine learning algorithms/data mining stuff?

worthy spear
#

@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

tender dune
#

@worthy spear I see. Thanks!

icy drumBOT
icy drumBOT
grand walrus
#

would it be possible to stop this bot from posting for each new star added?

cerulean pivot
#

yea i’ll probably change for when only repo is updated

#

makes more sense

#

i’ll research into it tmrw

white mesa
#

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.

high thunder
#

Ur welcome to submit a PR if you find more !!

old kestrel
#

its community populated @white mesa , the mod team has found some but these repos really only grow with community contribution

mental frigate
#

What's the period after which we can interview again at Jane Street if we mess up?

normal herald
#

I heard they blacklist you after you fail their onsite, idk if its true though

sage fog
#

Brett interviewed there, not sure if he can confirm tho

coarse iris
#

A quick google search shows me this

normal herald
#

Ah yea was probably a rumor then

coarse iris
#

But hey, it's the internet, like lincoln said, never trust anything said on the internet!

normal herald
#

Nah dude Blind would never lie

humble oriole
#

how different are interviews these finTech companies compared to normal tech companies

old kestrel
#

I interviewed at two sigma not Jane street

#

Harder @humble oriole

humble oriole
#

Harder in what way... LC or design or both

old kestrel
#

All

fickle timber
#

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

old kestrel
#

i doubt they do

normal herald
#

thats just a cooldown then

fickle timber
#

yeah

old kestrel
#

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

coarse iris
#

Heard there is an automatic GPA cutoff, somewhere in the high 3.8s low 3.9s

old kestrel
#

There probably is for JS

high thunder
#

Is it time to apply yet

old kestrel
#

Almost

#

Someone fixed the Jane street link on the GitHub so you can apply there @high thunder

high thunder
#

Ooh

#

So it is almost time 👀

cerulean pivot
#

no

#

there were like 2 places out in august last year

#

and that was without covid

stark veldt
#

@coarse iris no, my friend with 3.6 got an interview, no referral, no recruiter, SWE position

#

new grad

#

Mid tier uni in Canada

#

Must have good resume

old star
#

i also had a friend, 1 internship, around 3.5 cgpa, uoft, on the uni icpc team get an interview

coarse iris
#

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

old star
#

that usually works too

coral coral
#

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.

coarse iris
#

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

coral coral
#

Yea, that's definitely true

coarse iris
#

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

coral coral
#

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

coarse iris
#

Yeah, the real big bucks are in quant and trading*, but that's also where the real strenuousness is apparently

unique anchor
#

when is it time to apply yall think for 2021 grad

craggy crown
#

Throughout the Fall 2020 period? and if you have a career fair on your campus in spring, maybe take a look into that

zenith marten
#

When do people start working for full-time jobs? Right after graduation or around August/September?

tranquil rampart
#

Depends upon your company @zenith marten

zenith marten
#

I mean when do most people start working? A week after they graduate or do they take a break?

tired bay
#

Depends on start dates available seen right after to a few months

cerulean pivot
#

a good number of people start the following fall after they graduate

high thunder
#

Is it time to start listing places to apply

tired bay
#

There is a repo in the pins

high thunder
#

I know

#

But is it time

old kestrel
#

To apply?

tired bay

I mean if u see a listing add it 🤷‍♂️

No

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

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?

coral coral
#

Applied and was told they weren't open yet and to apply again later in the summer.

tired bay
#

Lol then why have the link 🧐

coral coral
#

Probably because they have some bar where they'll make an exception on who to interview but I didn't make it

uneven topaz
#

no way u didnt make it lmao

#

prob just lazy and didnt remove it from last year

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

My parents hate FB but I hear the dev exp is epic 😫😫😫

What do I do

tired bay

Lol your parent’s opinions are really that strong about Facebook 😅

Go work for zuck and sell personal data for a living

Your parents ain’t paying you what fb would be paying

high thunder
#

Mooood

cerulean pivot
#

lol u about to get me on a whole ass tangent about why u shud never live to fulfill someone elses expectations

worthy spear
#

there's a number of valid reasons why someone might not like facebook

cerulean pivot
#

ok

#

if mans wants to work for fb

#

let him work for fb

worthy spear
#

true, you should not not work at facebook being your parents don't want you to work there

cerulean pivot
#

yea tahts all i meant

worthy spear
#

but maybe they have valid criticism about facebook, which would change your opinion

cerulean pivot
#

yea some ppl dont question their parents

#

its cringe imo

sage fog
#

they could also be ex-facebook engineers, and didn't like it

coarse iris
#

Sorry for being OOTL, but did FB process for 2021 already start?

high thunder
#

It’s open

tranquil pebble
#

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?

coarse iris
#

It’s open
@high thunder New grad?

#

or internship?

high thunder
#

This is the grad channel haha

coarse iris
#

Right

#

That seems a bit early actually, hmm

high thunder
#

@tranquil pebble just Yeet it and include on resume

coarse iris
#

I thought they would open in early August

tranquil pebble

@tranquil pebble just Yeet it and include on resume

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?

autumn locust
#

@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

high thunder
#

@autumn locust I still applied

coarse iris
#

@autumn locust I still applied
@high thunder Same posting as above, or a different one?

high thunder
#

Probably that

steel herald
#

ok. Well there’s plenty of other companies to work for. You’ll be fine 👍🏻

coarse iris
#

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.

nova gyro
#

If a company has multiple listings, should we just apply to the new grad one? Or spam resume to all the open positions

snow kayak
#

spamming will likely get your resume ignored lmao

high thunder
#

Apply to the most relevant things

old kestrel
#

Yeah don’t apply to all open positions just apply to new grad or ones that are a good fit

nova gyro
#

sounds good 👍

native drum
#

So I shouldn’t apply for CEO or senior swe in unicorn or FAANG while in high school?

sage fog
#

I'm ceo of faang and in uni, ama

nova gyro
#

I'm the CEO and also janitor of tsukuyomi corporation

sage fog
#

But ye, def apply to those that suit your strengths

nova gyro
#

curse those companies who have 20 open positions and literally make a separate posting for each one

sage fog
#

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

uneven topaz

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

Think it's prob the same for new grad

void chasm
#

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. ?

old kestrel
#

I’d assume they’re very different with front end being focused on design and design frameworks

cerulean pivot
#

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

coarse iris
#

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

worthy spear
#

how much of a site would you make in an hour

cerulean pivot
#

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

devout burrow
#

Know a guy doing FE facebook internship and it was LC applied to the web e.g. traversing the DOM

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

old kestrel

At least ur already out there

#

I haven’t applied anywhere yet

Cool thanks> Know a guy doing FE facebook internship and it was LC applied to the web e.g. traversing the DOM

#

@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

tranquil pebble
#

Can you guys please update here as and when you come across an open job? I'd do the same.

old kestrel
#

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

coarse iris
#

what places, if you don't mind my asking @old kestrel

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

tranquil pebble
#

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.

nova gyro
#

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

old kestrel
#

with internships usually the questions aren't too hard bar two sigma

#

so if you can do mediums thats probably good @urban hemlock

worthy spear
#

anyone still updating this?

tired bay
#

Put in PRs if anyone sees anything

old kestrel

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

It’s both technical and behavioral so get ready to answer quick

Gotta zoom I guess

Weird, like asking about moral dilemmas and obscure programming knowledge?

The latter

#

And also what u would normally expect in a technical interview

nova gyro
#

I see, that's really hard to prepare for then

coarse iris
#

Did it have an LC component @uneven topaz , or just theoretical concepts?

uneven topaz
#

It had a semi LC component

#

Literally nothing I tell u is gonna help u prepare lol

coarse iris
#

I got ghosted by IMC lol, they just said wait for a few more weeks while we finetune the process or something

uneven topaz
#

Oh rip

coarse iris
#

I was just curious

uneven topaz
#

Ya it was just so fast paced

coarse iris
#

This was the round following the coding challenge?

uneven topaz
#

Yessir

coarse iris
#

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.

uneven topaz
#

Saves them time

#

Sees how u do under stress

coarse iris
#

Someone still needs to watch it though right

uneven topaz
#

But it’s half the time

#

Since they ask u question

coarse iris
#

Unless they automated the video answer extraction process

uneven topaz
#

All they need is ur responses

coarse iris
#

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

`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.`

For those who have interviewed a lot before, what percentage of Q's you have gotten are straight from LC?

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

uneven topaz
#

Yes wait

high thunder
#

Do both

tranquil pebble
#

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?

Just got invited to HRT phone screen despite 77% on OA
@high thunder do you get the OA immediately after applying?

high thunder
#

Few days maybe?

worthy spear
#

what do you guys think about amazon/aws?

#

on par with other big 4 / faang or 👎?

sage fog
#

tulip hill
#

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

snow kayak
#

I strongly suggest never doing free internships but that’s my opinion

worthy spear
#

amazon vs microsoft?

#

which would you pick for FT

tulip hill
#

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

silver halo
#

I mean if you literally have nothing then do it but try to find a paid internship asap

tulip hill
#

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

tired bay
#

Lol we only at beginning

tulip hill
#

lmao, reddit made it seem like everything had already been filled

opal valley
#

Maybe depends on the sf startup

snow kayak
#

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.

tulip hill
#

okay, i see, maybe helping a social movement would be a good idea

tidal tangle
#

^ or you could work on personal projects instead

snow kayak
#

Second personal projects as well ^

#

Do hackathons, coding competitions, something that benefits you.

opal valley
#

Working on open-source projects is awesome too

worthy spear
#

do leetcode

worthy spear
#

old kestrel
#

worthy spear
#

native drum
#

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

old kestrel
#

i think most ppl would say top are Google,Apple,MSFT and bottom is FB,amazon

#

if doing bigN

native drum
#

^^

high thunder
#

Oops I forgot about amazon

#

Yeah no thanks

#

Not even applying

amazon is hit or miss depending on team

snow kayak
#

worthy spear
#

old kestrel
#

tc

worthy spear
#

old kestrel
#

native drum
#

What’s so bad about fb?

worthy spear
#

:/ good or bad it's still pretty good if it's hard to get in and many people want to get in there

old kestrel
#

its for the money

worthy spear
#

people only wanna go there for tc
