oh shit
U really gotta speed run or get super easy problems to get it in short time
is it worth just focusing on the last question from the beginning then?
codesignal always gives cancer for 3rd question so probably yea
^
oof
how strict is the proctering for codesignals then? anything weird with using multiple monitors?
Mine said only use a single monitor
i hate codesignal
same
All the homies hate codesignal 🤠
Anyone know what the process is for Twilio? Number/type of rounds, etc.?
Looks like I'm going to get a callback
For companies like Robinhood which send the OA after a while, does it mean you have already passed the resume screening, or will these companies still do it after the OA? Any idea?
@marble venture Robinhood is notorious for sending tons of OA
anyone done the phone screen for c3 ai?
Y'all should I be waiting more for Stripe and Amazon OA's? It's been two weeks and I haven't heard back since
@woven tartan what other alternative do you have besides waiting? Also, just for the record, I applied with a referral to Amazon a month ago and still haven't received an OA.
I meant like should I not think about them at all? Basically give up @marble venture 🤣🤣 and lose hope
I don't think so. Last year, they responded to my intern application after around 3 weeks I think. Considering how the situation is right now, it might just be taking them longer to go through all the applications.
Whatever you do, nothing is going to change, so do whatever you want to do.
Thanks @marble venture yeah that makes sense, and fair enough @visual lagoon! These are trying times and I've been scrambling to apply to as many places because I only have a few months to graduation and no offers lol 😂
@woven tartan we are all in the same boat. 😦
how long after amazon referral do u get email>
ty bro
@eager glacier You can ask him directly, he's on this server!
@coral coral is that you
@coral coral does he have juice 
Actually yes
I interned with him while at Stripe though, he's insane
Talk about set for life
Always good motivation ur right lmao
I wish I had half that
Makes u work harder
software platform is also frozen for rh
Importance of applying early I guess
sp is completely done hiring
their apps were open for a week
oh sorry sp isn't frozen
it's completely closed
they're not doing anymore interviews
bruh, I just saw someone taking next year off to intern at Stripe, Citadel, and Robinhood. How much lc do you need to do to get those interview skills.
@eager glacier
YO I saw the LinkedIn post too, t’was insane!
Both RH and Citadel are pretty flexible with season. If you got both offers it would be pretty straightforward to move
Yea, there's always a luck factor at the beginning
i like to think of it as once you get 1 offer from a big place you get placed on a choo choo train
and you get fast tracked everywhere
depends on how big name it is 
usually competitors will expedite
fb/g don't care about you
Well if u really want free access
Yea, it's pretty wild
U get connections
How G/F aren't open
Get a parent or uncle who has industry connections, that's the only choo choo train u need :')
ok @coral coral F is technically open
wdym
i got rejected already

3 years worth of rejections from fb with referrals
im gonna whip them
I've never spoken with a FB engineer 😦
when is square opening ffsfdjfhsdkfhsdnkjhfns
or a recruiter for that matter
its ok @coral coral they don't deserve you
see but technically apps are open 

it's def frozen atm
Fb at least tells us
probs waiting to hear back from return interns to finalize headcount
Google whats up w u
same thing w/ g probs
g is supposedly opening after they finish doing all their conversion interviews
I'd rather a company just not put an app out if they didn't plan on hiring lol
Like G
dont they need to do it for legal purposes to fill h1bs
for a lot of companies openings are mainly for legal purposes to say that they can't find anyone suitable externally
this mainly for non new grad though
I’d say literally the hardest is not 2020 grads. It’s actually 2021 grads.
sis it's rough for everyone
Well, if they aren't hiring this year surely they'll be hiring next. Gotta keep the junior dev pipeline full
Sigh.. I think in spring hopefully we will see some light and all companies start to hire new grads
Isn't it pinned
the repo is, sheet isn't
Anyone got ebay next round with 781 in codesignal?
don't see a lot of collaboration here, what do you guys think about helping each other out by exchanging recruiter emails or referrals and stuff
don't see a lot of collaboration here, what do you guys think about helping each other out by exchanging recruiter emails or referrals and stuff
@worthy spear what do u bring to the table
Did anyone here do the ML project for Neeva and then get the interview? I got the interview and have no idea what to expect.
don't see a lot of collaboration here, what do you guys think about helping each other out by exchanging recruiter emails or referrals and stuff
@worthy spear Since you asked, i got you with a couple recruiter emails. Dm me bro
They took down the Sentry position before I could apply 😭
hey does anyone have a nextdoor recuiter email? they send the codesignal to my personal email not my school email 🤦🏻♀️
@quick panther thanks so much omg -- they sent an intro email from a no-reply from greenhouse
does anyone know when google conversion interviews will be wrapping up?
does anyone know when google conversion interviews will be wrapping up?
@acoustic mural I just heard back I cleared HC; I still have to go through the PA match and VP review for a formal conversion offer, but I know the vast majority of people are still in the PA match phase like me. My recruiter said I could hear back by next Wednesday and VP review only takes a couple days, so I think intern conversion completes at the earliest, two weeks from now
Also has anyone done Akuna C++ dev phone screen? I have it in like 30 minutes
@worthy spear thanks for the detailed response! Appreciate it
Although, take this with a grain of salt, but I heard internally that they aren’t gonna open new grad until 2022, but that could just a rumor
@worthy spear I just hope it’s a rumor
I mean they opened new grad for other positions already
wtf i reached out to a couple companies i submitted my codesignal for
and they said they never got it
-.-
how do you check on codesignal where all have the scores been sent?
it's not on my codesignal though
how do you check on codesignal where all have the scores been sent?
@marble venture not sure :/
I clicked on the link and it said "your test has been submitted" or something but just followed up with Databricks & CodeSignal and they both confirmed they had not received the score.
@wind acorn go to the coding report(General Assessment Report) on code signal and it will show the companies with which that report has been shared
Something like this
tyty yeah I'll send them an email. :/
they're not appearing there
Hm I cant find that either, but I'm pretty sure i shared it
oof what if the reason why a ton of us are getting ghosted is because codesignal RNGs who gets to actually share their code report too

so weird though
Nvm found it haha
Try going to
Test Center
General Coding Assessment
Scroll to bottom
I just got an email from databricks saying the codesignal request expired even though I'm pretty sure I sent it
It says it never sent qq. At least I can tell myself I never would have gotten it anyway 
Has Salesforce opened up new grad applications?
Yes. And closed them too lmao
Good I wasn't imagining it, why would they close it in less than a week lol
Not really sure. Maybe they got too many applications for too few positions
😦 i hope i can get asana & databricks to resend me the OA lol
tried pinging a couple of recruiters and no one is responding
Got vmware offer: 160K total comp in Atlanta
@worthy spear This is from propel?
yeah i did
aight aight just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one
Almost 20 mins into amazon final and the interviewer still hasnt shown up rip
Auto pass
I get to interview myself I guess
Did u pass
Still failed

Got vmware offer: 160K total comp in Atlanta
@worthy spear congrats! is this newgrad?
that's really really good
Thanks and yea new grad
for those of you who got the Stripe OA, how many of you got referred?
@worthy spear how did they tell you? I haven’t heard anything past the group zoom call today
Recruiter just cold called me
That’s nerve racking
Anyone know the salary of ibm summit program?
Will do but I have a hard ass midterm coming up lol
👀 anyone know what to expect if a recruiter calls you after onsite
like they gave me an employment application already
Just wait for the written offer, dw
aight thanks
me? I go to a school in the east coast but originally from the west coast LMAO
Guys, I have a Databricks oa (code signal)
Anything that I should know before I attempt it?
I'll be doing it along with a couple of others over the weekend
^for SWE
Never used that platform until now
Does anybody got any update on VMWare propel?
@spiral glade it’s proctored. 4 questions and you need to answer the 4th question to score at least an 800/850 so def focus on that. They also consider ur speed for your score
@patent surge I'm a NYU kid
btw recruiter gave me an offer!
For raytheon @devout bobcat?
yeah
Congrats @devout bobcat !
Thanks guys!
Congrats @devout bobcat
why do people interview for more companies when they have an offer they want? Is it because another offer could potentially increase base salary/ sign on? Is it worth the hassle of continuing the interview process?
I'm sorry, when you say that it's proctored, does it mean video camera on and recorded the entire time?
I use my monitor for work most of the time, so I should probably switch to my Laptop for this then?
@nobsheen
@stoic bear
a
Video camera on and screen recording
Although I guess sometime it’s not proctored (depending on the company)
Like asana uses code signal and they didn’t proctor
databricks records screen and the webcam is on
Oh ok, got it. I'll just use my laptop to be on the safer side then
This is for Databricks
Thanks guys
When’s the deadline @devout bobcat for ur offer
7 calendar days after I get the written offer
Damn thats quick
congrats!
ikr! @mild pelican
wow congrats
thanks!
is citrix oa automated?
i dont think so @true folio
Amazon interview went great tbh now to the waiting game 😬
Amazon interview went great tbh now to the waiting game 😬
@tired bay LC medium hard?
Oh 3 interviews?
does amazon ever asks system design? I have heard of people being asked that, but not people in here
can anyone confirm or deny
Yeah I had 3 u could get 1 if OA was excellent
I didn’t have anything beyond class design nothing system design oriented
hm...i had my microsoft interview abt a week ago and i just got an automated email that said "please fill out self-id form in action center", went to my action center and found no form and also my action center seems to be glitching in general

Oh I have the same recruiter, I haven't heard back since taking the HR 10 days ago tho
bruh GM rejected me within 3 hours I think that's a new record for me

@tiny oak Publicis Sapient rejected me in 5 minutes. Talk about efficiency 😂
@tiny oak are you an international student?
no east coast US
Capital One rejected me in 1 minute. Beat that!
dang LMAO
some of the rejection emails be like a shot to the chest tbh
"We believe other applicants are more qualified for the position"
like jesus bro i get it
just CHILL
I like the ones that say "we're impressed with your background and work, but we are moving with smarter and waaaay cooler candidates"
anyone else get rejected from akuna junior python
Recruiters think that's how young people communicate nowadays

@eager glacier It really was imo
wait what was so bad about it
Did anyone take amazon oa 1? I'm taking it tonight and was wondering if it really was way worse than last years oa 1
@eager glacier p sure its debugging
the time constraint?
It was just more complex code than last year with same time constraint
Like it was harder to understand what the code was doing
omg...update i still can't access my microsoft portla but i got an email that said i got an offer
dw i cant access my action center either
they keep telling me to do something in my action center...which i would if i COULD
@ornate charm Yeah there are a couple languages u can pick from but it’s only a few like not everything
yeah they don't have python 😦
rip interviewer has a conflict meeting
Did anyone else get ghosted by every company that uses greenhouse? IDK if I'm blacklisted by the algorithm or something. I was only able to get interviews with companies that use lever or something else.
Heyyy. I have an Asana interview coming up for a new grad position. Can anyone give me some tips?
has anyone done the SAP behavioral? is it chill -- mine's only half an hour with a PM
@rancid otter it's kinda rapid fire behaviorals
Heyyy. I have an Asana interview coming up for a new grad position. Can anyone give me some tips?
@heady walrus when did you apply? good luck!
@heady walrus when did you apply? good luck!
@wary rose Around July 27th. I'm kinda scared. This is my first interview
F
What was the question style?
LC or something weird?
Ah, oof
Did he... did he ask you...
did he ask you to invert a binary tree?
he was like really angry i was like bruh i dont know how to do this part
@whole spoke what an ass lmao
that sounds really unprofessional
oh I had a similar experience with 2sig last year
interviewer was even like "i'm disappointed you couldn't figure it out"
It seems like majority of the FAANG companies are on a hiring freeze for new grad 2021. I wanted to know, which companies, apart from Amazon, are actively hiring. Non-FAANG companies?
there are lots of companies that are hiring for the future. im just a ninja dodgin all offers 
F was just asked a dp question for an interview
i was like ok bud i wanna leave too believe me
@whole spoke wait im curious what's stopping you from just exiting the call and leaving if they're being really toxic for no reason? A benefit I see for a virtual interview vs in person
what do you guys normally ask when they ask if we have any questions for them?
1 like and next time my interviewer asks me if I have any questions for them, I'll ask them to reverse a linked list
has anyone done the SAP behavioral? is it chill -- mine's only half an hour with a PM
@rancid otter hit up @cunning forge
oh wait for the questions
@whole spoke ah ok or like just when they were being over the top rude, I would've just said okay thank you for your time and just ended the call LOL. They're supposed to help guide you to the answer when you're stuck, not say it was a waste of time
nothing really but idk in the moment i was just trying my best to think about solutions
@whole spoke you should give that mf terrible reviews lol
what a prick
Did anyone give citrix final Interview? ping me!
@whole spoke ah ok or like just when they were being over the top rude, I would've just said okay thank you for your time and just ended the call LOL. They're supposed to help guide you to the answer when you're stuck, not say it was a waste of time
@fallen iris it's easy to think of this in hindsight or from an outsider's perspective, but usually when an interview is going poorly I'm not thinking "how quickly can I get out of here" lol
It seems like majority of the FAANG companies are on a hiring freeze for new grad 2021. I wanted to know, which companies, apart from Amazon, are actively hiring. Non-FAANG companies?
@worthy spear bloomberg is hiring actively afaik
could anyone tell me what the 2 sigma phone interview is like? and general difficulty?

ive
Has anyone gone through a Citadel 45 min tech. phone interview? Will they ask C++ Trivia
or expect you to only answer using C++?
Anyone got a lc premium acc? lol
Has anyone gone through a Citadel 45 min tech. phone interview? Will they ask C++ Trivia

@neon tangle they preferred me to use c++ but told me i could use whatever - they were just algo questions for the phone interviews
ive
@rancid otter ??
@neon tangle they preferred me to use c++ but told me i could use whatever - they were just algo questions for the phone interviews
@unkempt echo Thanks! So LC basically
yeah pretty much, I had two phone interviews and they were both LC medium
but on the harder side of LC medium
yikes
What's the best way to approach recruiters? Is it just me or do recruiters generally ghost your messages on LinkedIn?
cause they get a million messages
@ornate charm lol my b i didnt finish typing -- i had a cap one internship offer last year but turned them down. applied this year with a referral right when apps opened like beginning of sept and havent heard back yet yikes
things that have been successful for me with reaching to recruiters was meeting them in person, getting a referal, them emailing me after a coding challenge or recruiting event
i've never had success cold emailing/messaging recruiters, but maybe thats just me
"meeting them in person" good one
@ornate charm lol my b i didnt finish typing -- i had a cap one internship offer last year but turned them down. applied this year with a referral right when apps opened like beginning of sept and havent heard back yet yikes
@rancid otter oh man
@rancid otter i guess in today's world this would be a virtual meeting
has anyone done a scale ai phone interview? wondering if it's gonna be leetcode alg/ds or not
things that have been successful for me with reaching to recruiters was meeting them in person, getting a referal, them emailing me after a coding challenge or recruiting event
i've never had success cold emailing/messaging recruiters, but maybe thats just me
@hoary pewter That makes sense. Should solely rely on recruiting events and career fairs then
referals are huge
cold mail is useless.. recruiter receive hundreds of email daily..
if someone refers you, a recruiter very well may email you
my boy cold emailed the CTO of spacex lol
and got an offer
after he finessed a small interview
then again hes no average joe
oh ok then makes sense lol
a friend of mine tweeted at the CEO of shopify and got an offer on the spot cause he was a former pro SC2 player lol

ya, SC2 scene is pretty huge
and being a pro at SC2 is insanely hard
referals are huge
@hoary pewter yeah, i was applying to most of the big companies with a referral and tbh it's not helping much either lmao
this is a hard year
referal to facebook means nothing this year lol
at least for full time
microsoft isnt even using referals this cycle i dont think, I know theyre not even letting their interns refer
damn
is google even hiring new grads? last i heard they were still frozen

Do you guys ever apologize for mistakes you make in an interview?
only if it was cause I did something like mis read or misunderstand
I forgot that python passes lists by reference and thought it made a copy each time
is it likely to get ghosted after a phone interview lol
So tragic
gotta do that list(x)
Oh he just straight up asked me a = [1], b = [a, 0], a.append(2), what is the value of b?
After I solved the LC hard they gave me
Sad reaccs
microsoft isnt even using referals this cycle i dont think, I know theyre not even letting their interns refer
@hoary pewter i heard people are getting resume rejected even with a referral 😂
ya, theyre just getting too many apps
all the big companies that have frozen hiring just divert more to the others
yeah and that's not helping us lol
I think Amazon and Msft have like a referral curse this season
also employees get paid like a lot if they hire a candidate with a referral
So pls reduce referral bonus not reject candidates who are referred wth
I think Amazon and Msft have like a referral curse this season
@copper fractal you mean to say getting referral gonna bite me in the ass later?
I mean I was referred made it to final they can’t guarantee referrals mean anything cause there are so many
and didnt even get OA
@copper fractal Yeah I am on the same boat brotha 😂
i had amazon referral applied in early august still got ghosted; target school, google on resume, offered an internship, but ghosted this year
has anyone found success w cold emailing recruiters? my inbox is dry af even after many referrals + mass applying online. could use some tips ty 
@copper fractal Yeah I am on the same boat brotha 😂
@normal tide samee here, got an internship offer last year but can't even get OA anymore
@solid moth hasn't worked for me this season, I see that recruiters read them, but they don't respond lmao
I didn't do it last year so I don't have a point of reference for how well it could work
has anyone found success w cold emailing recruiters? my inbox is dry af even after many referrals + mass applying online. could use some tips ty
@solid moth definitely more effective with startups from my experience, worth trying out imo
Anyone have tips on whether it makes sense or not to negotiate a new grad offer? Seems like there isn't a clear consensus: some say always negotiate, others say only negotiate if you have competing offers that are higher comp
Always negotiate
@silent rivet I have a pretty good offer from a big company, they're known to increase the sign-on bonus with competing offers, but I don't have any competing. Not really sure how I'd phrase it
My friend negotitated her signin bonus msft without a competing offer
use yourself as a leverage
have you done previous internships?
there is actually no harm in trying to negotiate. unless u ask something crazy like a 50% increase, you're fine
@silent rivet it's a return offer since I interned there this summer. I was thinking of just saying that I did well in my internship (created a feature which added val to the company) and therefore think I'm worth it to the company kind of thing
anyone here do their VMWare Launch onsites? I'd like to PM to ask questions
Just wasn't sure if this is effective. Feel kinda greedy doing it tbh
@zinc bramble Feel free to DM
but i was referred to Amz
@copper fractal when did u get referred
Did anyone hear back from Goldman Sachs after giving the Hirevue?
@silent rivet it's a return offer since I interned there this summer. I was thinking of just saying that I did well in my internship (created a feature which added val to the company) and therefore think I'm worth it to the company kind of thing
@hot hamlet Nice. So, the way my friend worded it is, she said she connected well with her colleageus which was reflected in her manager's comments in connects. Then she mentioned a leadership course she took and used it as an additional point.
Just wasn't sure if this is effective. Feel kinda greedy doing it tbh
@hot hamlet It's fine unless it's a crazy bump. She suggested a $45k increase and they gave her $15k increase.
Idk what company you got the offer from so I'm not sure if the same thing applies.
@ornate charm around early August
@silent rivet Thank for the tips! Ya, I have time to respond so might wait it out, see if any other opportunities present themselves, and consider how I want to phrase it if anything. I agree though that I don't think they'd reneg, and so I don't have much to lose by asking
yea. just be polite and worst thing is you stay where you're at
I gotta set up a technical phone interview. Got 2 exams and a presentation next week. Does it look bad/hurt my chances if i schedule the call for 2 weeks out?
How long does it take to hear from Nextdoor after OA
is facebook not taking any new grads this year?
Anyone gave target OA?
@deft pine any idea what's the pay?
Not too high below 100k for sure.
is facebook not taking any new grads this year?
@crimson egret filling up headcount with interns first (waiting for remaining interns to accept/decline) then might recruit if have headcount still
@deft pine which position did you apply to?
They reached out through ghc
oh nice
inbox is so dry
@last linden definitely windows lmao
inbox is so dry
@warm stone mine is so wet from crying
@crimson egret filling up headcount with interns first (waiting for remaining interns to accept/decline) then might recruit if have headcount still
@cerulean pivot i asked because my cousin who just graduated had an internship at facebook and they told him they are not taking any new grads so they didnt give him a return offer
@last linden definitely windows lmao
@worthy spear i;m crying
ur cousin did not get a return offer lol
im assuming that was their way of telling him no thank you
they gave interns return offers for full time
yeah sounds like your cousin just didn't get a return
@cerulean pivot i asked because my cousin who just graduated had an internship at facebook and they told him they are not taking any new grads so they didnt give him a return offer
@crimson egret a close friend of mine got a return offer
yea i think they just didnt want him it seems like
@crimson egret yea it happens
fb is cutthroat
all of us say that untill we get an offer from them lol
jst because a company is cutthroat isnt a reason why i wouldnt join it lol
some people like it
and pride themselves with it
the whole concept that netflix has for a "dream team" is really cool to read up about
its on their culture page
but yeah they are also very cutthroat
they dont hire new grads too
nah lol
i think a lot of projects are complicated
but yeah i agree fo rsure
theyre just complicated in their own ways
diff challenges
How am I supposed to share my screen during the Bloomberg phone interview?

@sleek coyote pretty sure theyre gonna use a platform like coderpad or hired right? to share an online editor?
Did anyone else apply to Jane Street’s IN FOCUS program?
hi folks 👋
@simple hazel I got a HackerRank link, does it have livesharing?
Did anyone else apply to Jane Street’s IN FOCUS program?
probably should’ve asked in #conference since I got the email b/c of Tapia, but 🤷🏽♀️
Gmail is down. That's probably why I haven't got any emails. And here I was thinking that I wasn't worth it
Wait, Gmail is down?
it's not down for me
Many Google services went down for some regions
The peeps who are getting the final call from Amazon, did you pass all test cases in all 3 QAs.
damn
Still made final
I got 5/7 on oa1 and got final @magic sable
It’s hella hard to decipher too many lines of code and words tbh
passed all on oa2 tho
wait is it like 7 debugging one one code or 7 different debugs on 7 different codes
7 different codes
ah i see
Does anyone know the salary for ibm summit/Ibm technical solution specialist?
Anyone know what to expect for vanguard onsite interview?
Is it better to accept SDE-2 at a big enough firm or go for SDE-1 at FAANG ? opinions ?
FAANGM*
never to compromise on position
Is it better to accept SDE-2 at a big enough firm or go for SDE-1 at FAANG ? opinions ?
@tepid minnow depends what is the "big enough firm"
Depends on FAANG too
If you're getting downleveled at Google that's worth it because they're throwing you at the top of the pay band anyways so when you get promoted you get super stonks
Has anyone done the 30 min phone interview with Microsoft who could tell me about it?
@eager glacier I scheduled for Monday wbu?
good luck!! I'm so nervous haha
I bombed the garage interview last year
Anyone here taken the Asana technical phone screen ?
Am I too late to apply for jobs? Will graduate in Feb 2021
I'm in panic mode basically
@shrewd pilot go to this repo https://github.com/Pitt-CSC/NewGrad-2021
and apply for everything
hiring season isn't over yet
Don’t forget to apply to some local positions too if you need an offer. Often those will have less applicants
i remember last year i joined one of these career discords around end of august
and ppl already had offers, i was like WTF
Same for me. I'm like I haven't started feeling ready yet and people already have offers
@grave dawn I had a phone interview with Microsoft ~2 weeks ago. The interviewer asked about my background and experience, we chatted for a while, and then did 2 LC easy problems
thank you!!
my 30 min phone was a 15 minute resume roast then a LC easy + med in the last 15 mins
Got door dash final round
Got door dash final round
@worthy spear gl!
@tired crescent did you use codility?
it was codility + I haven't heard back yet. Interview was 2 weeks ago and they said it would be 3-5 weeks before I'd hear back
thanks!
Did anyone get the Citrix OA after being rejected
because I was rejected like a month ago
but I got the OA today?
@tired crescent how long did it take for microsoft to tell you whether you if you made it the next round?
@eager glacier If you have other offers, it's pretty quick. It took them half of a day for me and a friend who's applying for an internship
Did anyone hear back after DRW coding challenge ?
@magic sable i got phone about a month after doing OA
anyone knows what palantir final round looks like
?
debugging is cool I love doing it
but ewww design
so like no LC?
Bruh what a chad
Sheeeeeesh
What do you even put on your resume for this?
Lmao I saw that post
That you’re the GOAT basically
uhhh... I've been coding since I was 12, still don't have offers from robinhood, citadel, or stripe
I don't think its a matter of coding tho
it's about how you can get your foot into the door
for interviews
Facts @languid plaza
looks like he had several internships in high school already
selling >>>>> doing
Several????? In HIGH SCHOOL?!? Sheesh
Linkedin is the IG but for nerds
@eager glacier I mean everything is a long term game so don't feel bad
you cannot strive towards having made different choices in life tho
even though kids like this definitely are worth a praise we are all focusing on cool companies way out of the reasonable proportion
like unless you have a plan to get really rich 100k vs 300k salary is not a big difference in terms of the quality of life
i just want to record myself doing no work at hip tech startup slap lofi over it and upload to youtube and get thousands of views
@eager glacier as long as you don't involve your ego, yea it won't hurt to reach the shiniest thing
I wanna start smth of my own cuz I hate working for someone else
but I am not gonna say "start a startup" cuz that's literally what erryone else is doing
just entrepreneurship
Its gon be the new norm. Fields getting hella saturated so companies needa find an efficient way to weed out ppl

@vapid river ^ Agreed. This will only continue going forward. Lucky us actually to graduate rn
Any amazon final interview tips? It’s the 3 hr one
Have a good story for each lp
Yeah 10-15 minutes are spent on behavioral which is more than u would expect
they have a dumb ass round
@worthy spear dumb? I liked the design round lol. of all companies I interviewed with, it seemed like the most real-life problem I worked on during an interview
Just had my HR call with Robinhood cancelled because they received too many apps and are now freezing hiring. Anyone else receive this too?
how does msft's interview process+team matching work? In the final round, are you interviewing for specific teams or do they fish around for interested teams if you get an offer and sign?
Did anyone hear back from VMware after the email about September interview slots being filled?
how long does it take to verify the codesignals test?
👍 sounds good thanks
@rocky spoke hmm, that sounds really weird. They’ve been emailing me about applying and attending their workshops, they reached out after seeing my resume in a conference database. I’m going to guess that if that’s true, maybe they’re hiring from small pools like conferences now.
oof
it is unlikely we are not moving forward in the process at this time
the way that is worded is just so 🤡
f
horrible wording omg
guys when an application asks you for your compensation expectations, what do u say
i leave it blank or just put n/a
^
its required hmm
maybe industry salary?
I can't remember if thats the right phrasing
does it have to be numeric?
you could always put 'competitive'
i just put 0 if it's numeric lol
highly competitive
np king
anyone who had virtual onsite on Monday with Bloomberg hear back?
I'm nervous I might be getting an L because I havent heard anything..
how many rounds was bloomberg virtual onsite?
4
maybe industry salary?
@inland aurora maybe you're thinking "industry standard"?
2 tech 1 hr 1 manager
ahh thanks @tidal grotto Were the system design questions like traditional systems design?
oh nice! good to know haha
anyway, good luck @tidal grotto! I hope you hear good news!
I'm nervous I might be getting an L because I havent heard anything..
@tidal grotto if you got the HR and hiring manager round it means you passed the technicals
so unless you botched the hiring manager round, be optimistic!
@smoky quiver if you review the system design primer you'll be familiar with what they ask about scaling. It was like 5 min of the 45min manager round
@digital carbon thanks! I'm keeping my fingers crossed
@smoky quiver if you review the system design primer you'll be familiar with what they ask about scaling. It was like 5 min of the 45min manager round
@tidal grotto thank you!!
Is it dumb to email and ask why you were denied.
you can ask to hear 'feedback'
@tiny oak @static rune Glad to know we're all in it for the same reason: the elusive get rejected from a job any % speedrun
Wow you must of put your desired salary in 😆
We're all aware of the unrealistic desired salary exploit
I've been trying to push the meta but I haven't broken the 1m mark
@tiny oak @static rune Glad to know we're all in it for the same reason: the elusive get rejected from a job any % speedrun
@rapid jackal Is it so hard to just show a warning when you select that you will need sponsorship in the future?
scheduled phone interview with a space and defense lab in dayton ohio 
IXL Learning recruiter email: tilee@ixl.com
VMware recruiter email: thappley@vmware.com
I literally emailed vmware guy 3 times and all were ghosted 
How long does it take codesignal to approve my test
It’s been pending for a day
Usually a day
@worthy spear My codesignal was approved 2-3 days I think
anyone know if its a good sign if I finished a behavior interview in 30 minutes..... and was given 1 hour
Just finished Qualtrics final and tbh if I dont get an offer its because i flubbed the behavioral even tho I think that part went well too
If i sent my codesignal to databricks, asana, and nextdoor a while ago and still havent heard back, have i just been ghosted
i got a 827 and i thought that'd be good enough
how long does it take to finish 1 amazon oa to getting to the next?
@eager glacier 1day!
Does anyone have any knowledge about the Insight Data Science program? Is it worth doing and does it actually help in getting job offers?
has anyone done a memsql first round yet
how long it take u guys to get OA from amzn after application
was anyone asked for a prep call by the recruiter before onsite @ bloomberg?
@tiny oak for me like a month lmao
pain
If i sent my codesignal to databricks, asana, and nextdoor a while ago and still havent heard back, have i just been ghosted
@zinc bramble i got rejected off nextdoor pretty fast u should be okay i think??
idk hope for the best i guess
Anyone have amazon “on-site” interview tips?
another day another 👻
for codesignal how was the test vs their practice test
and what do they do with the recording of you? feels kinda sus
They record screen if they ask some people don’t get asked and the real is def harder than practice but gives u a good idea what questions 1,2 will be like
Anyone know what SVNT is like? Can’t tell if it’s like full time or glorified intern lol
Fml, read interview time wrong and showed up 10 mins late
anyone ever quit an interview after the second out of 4 interviews
im tempted to just email my recruiter to not consider me anymore
cus holy frig my interviewer was really bad
@fleet niche it sounds full time but you do rotations before joining a particular team
got the amazon OA
after being in the waitlist hellish nightmare for 6 months last season i am ready to get back on mr bezos's wild ride
good luck! you'll kill it
thanks fam, i've heard it's 10 times harder this year which is quite a bit disconcerting
@iron gate when did you apply?
around august 20th
I applied lately and my application went to no longer under consideration within two days. :(
Yes. The sftware engineer 2021 role US. In fact, many people had this experience. I don't understand why. I'm pretty sure that my resume is good enough because I have received calls in the past for internships.
I bombed the final round last year and got an offer
This year I did well and didn't even get interview
Confirmed, resume plays a huge role and esp non-content parts (length, action verbs...)
I updated my resume a month ago after being ghosted from almost everywhere for 2 months straight and I am hearing back wayyyy more
Has anyone interviewed/worked for Doordash before?, would like to know about it
@stuck turtle doordash.engineering
a friend of mine working there said they share a lot of stuff on the blog
Did anyone get an email from VMware that they’re “reevaluating” their hiring events? I was supposed to have a call in October to schedule a final round interview which they canceled.
@grave dawn
Mine was going to be next week and Same
Woah 😳

friendly reminder that you should never be ashamed of reneging :)
yeah not sure what it means :/
friendly reminder that you should never be ashamed of reneging :)
@last linden but you should also be aware of the consequences of getting blacklisted by companies and the possible repercussions you might face from your school (blacklisted from alumni databases, career advisors, etc,.)
just wanted to point this out since last year I reneged 3 offers from companies for internships and I was blacklisted at all 3 and my school threatened disciplinary action
my cs profs encourage reneging lol
That being said I still 100% support reneging though because companies will drop you on a dime if the needs of the business change
just wanted to point this out since last year I reneged 3 offers from companies for internships and I was blacklisted at all 3 and my school threatened disciplinary action
@wind acorn were the offers from career fairs/directly set up by the school
@last linden none of them were from career fairs/set up by the school, though at least one of them had contact with my school's career center
also sorry as a follow-up, if a company gives you an exploding offer, accept then renege. usually such practices are against your school's policy and you won't be penalized for reneging 🙂
@last linden none of them were from career fairs/set up by the school, though at least one of them had contact with my school's career center
@wind acorn oh interesting, i figured that only if the school had an involvement in your hiring process then it's natural that they would be involved but ig that's not the case
i'm guessing disciplinary action = banned from career fairs etc?
i'm guessing disciplinary action = banned from career fairs etc?
@last linden yeah banned from career fairs, alumni networking/databases, banned from career center
but also be picky as to who you renege since you never know who will read your resume in the future (recruiters shift around all the time)
@last linden yeah banned from career fairs, alumni networking/databases, banned from career center
@wind acorn hmm do i really have anything to lose then? my school is top 20 but since it's east coast and not top 3 the only companies that come to career fairs are the boring local and govt companies 😂
@last linden I think what I wrote above is also important to consider. Idk your circumstances but if it's a no-name startup vs. Google I'd say screw 'em and go for G
how do you even get banned from a career fair if you go to a big school
is Cisco's OA automatic? Also what's their hiring process
but if it's FB vs G and you want more clout/opportunities from G then you risk never being able to work at FB again (though would anyone even do this?)
just asking bc my school's career fair provides barely any value lol. i got all my interviews and offers from just applying on the company website and not going to school recruiting events
how do you even get banned from a career fair if you go to a big school
@unkempt echo my school's really small, so idk how it would work for bigger schools
do colleges rat out students who reneged previously to companies? lol
at my school they really don't care, they dont have a method of checking who attends career fair either
yeah honestly it's pretty hard to enforce but I think the biggest risk is getting blacklisted from the company you reneged
if it's a startup it wouldn't be too bad but if it's a company that you see yourself might want to work for in the future then best not to imo
Some companies have such a strong presence at my school them that reneging on them would be a career suicide
new rejection day
@worthy spear I aced Cisco OA like 3 weeks ago no response
@worthy spear I aced Cisco OA like 3 weeks ago no response
@copper fractal seems like companies are wasting our time tbh
did anyone hear back from databricks after OA?
@worthy spear I aced Cisco OA like 3 weeks ago no response
@copper fractal Make that 5 weeks for me!
Am def not taking it then lol
I got referred as well
Dang
and literally nothing XD
That’s crazy
I got referred as well
@copper fractal me too 😂
@normal tide are we the same people?
I dont like how companies are wasting our time
@normal tide are we the same people?
@copper fractal 😂 we are in the same boat that's for sure
I think its because Cisco were laying off employees or something
I think its because Cisco were laying off employees or something
@copper fractal yeah they're spending like 900 million for layoffs
for those who got the email from VMware: what exactly did it say? did it explain why?
Supposed to have a call Wednesday, got this email with original event call cancelled:
Good Afternoon!
My partner Taylor will be reaching out to you to schedule your interview time. Please me on the look out.
Nick
^for VMware
^ Taylor cold called me earlier today and said she was handling scheduling for onsites now instead of nick
got it! hopefully it just means nick’s gonna be out of the office or smth and doesn’t speak to interview availability
Oh gotcha, thanks @tranquil relic
she asked me whether i wanted oct 15 or 16th so it seems like there are still availabilities for those dates
Now that you mentioned it, I did receive a missed call from Austin TX (her LinkedIn profile says she’s based there)
ya it was around 3 hours ago for me so thats prob her
Has anyone here interviewed with Cisco?
Anyone done technical phone interview for Affirm?
Has anyone heard back from Microsoft about Data & Applied Science (new grad)?
Anyone had Citrix final today?
After seeing what happened with covid, Im not afraid to reneg at all
Not that it was their fault, but its survival of fittest with employer vs employee lol
For people who got offers in their local city, do you guys receive a relocation bonus?
Cogo labs OA so hard smh
another day another rejection
Anyone had Citrix final today?
@cobalt cliff
Yeah it wasn't bad
dry inbox
@languid plaza any specific things you feel made your resume better?
amazon final round 11/10 bar raiser loved me
First question was design an API for a file system
Second round was a tree BFS problem
Third round was a LC medium
All three had a behavioral “leadership principles” question
I’m assuming the bar raiser was the most experienced person so the senior engineering manager who asked me more about my resume and the LP behind that
So Amazon interviews by team and the bar raiser is someone outside the team that has veto power and they have special training for it
Anyone do Citrix OA?
@smoky quiver did you take the orchard oa yet
@arctic drift not yet, have you?
I'll probably do it either today or sometime tomorrow
lmk if you take it/how it is
I'll lyk if I decide to take it before hten lmfao
then*
Does anybody wanna disclose how well they did on Amazon's OA1 before they got OA2?
OA2 isn't based on your OA1 score iirc
Really? Thank god.
OA1 was honestly the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Idk bout these amazon devs, but I prefer to take my time and actually understand the issues I'm trying to fix.
So fixing 7 problems in 10 minutes is honestly super stupid.
@eager glacier email them
It’s been about 24 hours and I have still not gotten oa 2. I got 1/7 on oa 1 tho 😪
@eager glacier damn it's that hard?
anyone know if I should lose hope for amazon? Been under consideration for almost a month
Ye, got 2/7
Some of them are honestly just stupid off by 1 errors, and you're not supposed to approach this as actual debugging.
This is the competitive coding equivalent of debugging
anyone know if I should lose hope for amazon? Been under consideration for almost a month
@devout bobcat I applied sept 1 and just got the oa today
@digital carbon I got 7/7 last year, but like I said above don’t spend too much time on one problem that was my mistake
@eager glacier gotcha
@devout bobcat nah bro, it took over a month for me too
@digital carbon I applied mid august tho
hmm I see. not sure what to say other than wait and see
aight aight thanks
2 years ago my friend applied to amazon in september
and they reached out to him in february
anything can happen 🤷♂️
Anyone heard back after SAP behavioral?
anyone have tips for a SWE phone interview with Nvidia?
did anyone who got a We wanted to send an update that we recognize that you have not heard back yet regarding your application and want to thank you for your patience. email from stripe end up getting an oa
how long ago did people who got that msg apply to stripe?
never received that email but I only applied recently
34
no thats jordan
you cant be @steep reef exists
Google might open 13th 👀
Anyone here do Bloomberg phone?
Anyone here got Citrix OA.....if so when did you apply?
how you guys write/word your messages to recruiters on linkedin without being too annoying
damn amazon oa1 was so stupid omg...
Hi,
Gib me job
Sincerely,
Name
@tiny oak biggest advice I got from recruiters is to keep it short and get to the point
@true cairn I applied on 9/5 and just got the OA yesterday
amazon OA1 sucks
I managed to get 5/7
I just wished their questions were worded easier so I didn't have to spend like 3 minutes per question trying to figure out what they're talking about
most of it is just monkeying around figuring out things that doesn't seem inherently right and just going off intuition
monke
Did anyone get a bloomberg oa
I don't think bloomberg does OAs? someone correct me if I'm wrong
No they don’t
Google might open 13th 👀
@tired bay what evidence? just curious because it seems oddly specific to have a date rather than just a range like "mid-October" lol
Lol a recruiter at ShellHacks mentioned the date @digital carbon 🤣
recruiters really spilling
Yeah and it’s been hella nice so far tbh
huh, interesting. that's cool
Google might open 13th 👀
stop. don't give me this hope

they released master's full-time?
even more interesting
Are the debugging in Amazon OA-1 hard? It says I have 15 minutes for 7 questions. Anybody know what I can expect?
^ wondering this as well?
It’s 21 minutes and yes this year it is pretty rough tbh
Yup
Idk mine was 21
Alright, thanks. It was pretty straight forward last year
But I was expecting some changes this year maybe
Got 7/7 last year and 3/7 this year. The code is longer and more complicated
They def upped the difficulty this year
@visual lagoon Do you know what the criteria is to qualify for OA-2?
I believe you get all 3 no matter what
Oh okay
Thanks, did not know that
Anybody hear about OA-2? It was 1 easy and 1 medium last year
Have they upped that as well
?
Alright. Thanks a ton!
Yeah I would say overall difficulty of OA2 didn’t really change that much but probs slightly more difficult if anything
I remember last years' OA-2 having just 2 questions
@tired bay did you have 3 questions for OA-2 as well this year?
2 questions @vernal crystal
Cool
Is anyone amazon application still in 'draft' under amazon jobs portal but 'submitted' under University jobs portal?
@trim marsh yup and I've heard of others who have the same thing
Follow up, has anyone experienced that and then got an OA?
Likewise^
Should we do something about that?
@trim marsh mine has been like that and they still moved on through the process
Cool. Thank you
@burnt marten @trim marsh mines been like that since I applied and I got my OA a few days ago so you’re good
Guys, how is jp Morgan's hirevue challenge? For SWE
Guys, how is jp Morgan's hirevue challenge? For SWE
@spiral glade 1 ez and 1 medium. They will ask you to record yourself explaining your code after you complete the code. My medium qn is exactly like leetcode
Oh ok
Thanks!
@thin sedge @vernal crystal thanks and good luck 🙏
Has anyone done Citadel's OA yet?
@spiral glade @keen delta for me my medium question turned out to be exactly the one I was practising on leetcode just before the test 
Has anyone done Citadel's OA yet?
@royal rapids yeah I got 1 q on string parsing and 1 on matrix search. q1 was fine but for q2 i could only think of a naive soln and passed 7/13 lmao
im happy with my codesignal score , should i retake or using current one is fine too?
Does anyone know any info on how the salary progress of software engineer in top quant firm like Citadel and are willing to share ?
3 actually, he said I could solve in any order and I ended up getting to 2 of them, I was pretty slow 😦
@quick burrow were they medium or easy?
Has anyone have phone interview at DRW? How was it like?
@worthy spear What is the difficulty? Any C++ trivia questions? behavorial?
My drw phone was conceptual + resume questuons
anyone here who did the coinbase phone?
I was asked a graph question, LC upper difficulty medium
@solid moth ty!
Did anyone else here get Neeva's take home project?
which companies besides robinhood/asana/databricks are using codesignal for new grad
anyone did a technical interview with Veeva?
Did anyone else here get Neeva's take home project?
@heady walrus I also got the prompt two weeks ago. It was to build a text editor for the backend. I decided not to do it because it seems like a small company that would hire only a few new grads.
Even they are ghosting me.
Anyone applied to G application software engineer?
Anyone know what its like for SWE at Charles Schwab?
Actually I ended up getting an on-site so maybe I didn’t 100% f it up lmao
@quick burrow that's great!! any tips for me? 😭
Anyone know what its like for SWE at Charles Schwab?
@simple hazel When did you apply?
Microsoft L
thanks! appreciate all the insight @quick burrow good luck with onsight
Microsoft L
@flint barn did you receive it today?
Anyone given Amazon QA2? What should I prepare?
@flint barn and when did you apply
Yeah got a reject today. Applied on 28th August with referral
sorry about that, and they reached out by email or was it just updated on the action center?
was anyone supposed to hear from Credera yesterday about scheduling an interview on Monday but didn’t receive anything?
real talk, anyone else lowkey sickened/depressed by this whole process. Like the idea that everyone is trying so hard for just the opportunity to do work for some super rich CEO of a multi-billion/trillion dollar company that on a grand scale, might do some good things but also probably does bad things? Like I'm caught up in the process doing leetcode/interview prep like everyone here but idk, taking a step back and looking at the whole thing, it just looks so silly. Maybe i need to take a break
I saw the social dilemma yesterday and I feel like becoming a saint and fuck off to mountains
But this will last prolly for a day
new weekend, rejections disappear
@idle basin i feel ya. but at the same time, we're all going through this rat race cuz we need fkn jobs after college lol
I feel a lot like that too, but one thing you have to remember is that everyone who actually accomplished something had to bide their time and suffer. We don't see that aspect of it when we hear success stories, but it's there.
p sure the pressure is even higher for students with loans
^ and imagine people on F-1 visas. they might get kicked outta the country if they dont get a job. so most of us have it pretty good all things considered. I use that to power myself mentally
yea for sure, and i am def speaking from a place of privilege. I know there are people from other countries also applying trying to escape poverty and stuff and i get that. The rat race is just so frustrating already and literally just at the start of my career 😦
new weekend, rejections disappear
@warm stone you don't get rejections if companies start ghosting you 😫
idk how many of yall watch nick white on yt, but that guy started searchign for a job a month back and deadass applied to a 1000 jobs. I thought that was fucking insane, but you gotta numb yourself to rejection and just keep spraying and praying I guess
and idk, maybe i romanticized things when i was younger, but I always wanted to build things that made people's lives better, as cheesy as that sounds. But the unethical nature of the tech industry has really made me disillusioned and with this whole rat race, im wondering wtf im even doing
you can always work for good non-profits who need talent but legit dont have the budget to pay well, or at all for that matter. You can do it in your free time. Source: I work at one, its very fulfilling
@simple hazel i didnt realzie u could do non-profit as like a free time/side gig thing, is it like your own hours? I always wanted to do something for conservation/ecology
I applied 800 jobs when finding internship
800 tf?
yah, I don't get paid, but its really great. Min.hours is a very loose(~10 for me) requirement, you can just pick up JIRA tickets in the backlog whenever you want.
intern
was your response rate good?
mostly rejections, only 5 or 6 companies gave interviews
webpage hits on portfolio site haven't gone up in 3 weeks even though it's linked in resume github and linkedin 
has anybody interviewed with Applied Intuition? I have an onsite this week and I can't find anything online about what kind of questions they ask
lol yeah @idle basin a lot of people walk this path and dont question it because its defined as "successful" by others
its a toxic culture
u can definitely get into these companies later on in ur career if its something that interests u lol but people are in a bubble
Anybody had amazon interview?if so, can you please share your interview experience
how long did it take for you to hear back after Roblox OA?
wait is google dev up yet?
contacted by one of Roblox HR last week, he said they only hire one person
but that is for the 2020 role
One person lol
whoever spent the most robux
roblox is putting in a lot of recruiting effort to only hire one person..
right but imagine the power trip of being the only person that robux hired for 2020 new grad
but that is for the 2020 role
@warm stone wait this is for the other app they put up right (with an immediate start date)
yeah, I think so
How long does it take to hear back after SAP SVNT OA?
A month ish for me
@devout bobcat Did you get a phone screen?
random question do "adult sites" post job openings on linkedin etc or do you have to go looking for it under different names
you got no time to print
random question do "adult sites" post job openings on linkedin etc or do you have to go looking for it under different names
@tiny oak pornhub goes by mindgeek
i think they only have positions in montreal and luxembourg though
@urban hemlock Yes u can but the compiler takes a while to refresh between runs u will most likely run out of time if u do that
@flint barn yeah i did
Anybody hear back from Mathworks after OA ?
Yea I had a phone interview with them this week @vernal crystal
@digital carbon how long did they take to get back to you?
Got the OA on 9/9 and the phone interview invitation 9/14
Alright, thanks
anybody who had Akuna Capital phone interview for DATA INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEERING ?
Curious, any other Canadians here? Checking if any Canadian companies are hiring for 2021 new grad now besides Amazon. Most places around seem to open in Jan
Canadian too, d2l and Rogers is hiring now, found stuff on LinkedIn
how common is it for canadian companies to hire US applicants?
prob not very common
I think it's uncommon cuz people in the US don't usually apply to anything in Canada, there's probably a special visa too
id assume shopify is a semi common place to apply
@hearty inlet I interviewed for their data infra internship last year, dm me if you want
actually wait I don't remember much about the phone interview. I remember they asked about differences between FP and imperative languages + a bunch of distributed systems stuff (compare different types of databases, what is consistent hashing, compare that to sharding etc) during the phone interview
and the onsite was 2 hours of high-level systems design
bar is probably a bit higher for new grad though I'd imagine
Anyone do the Neeva phone interview? Have it on Monday
@eager glacier i did mine yesterday and haven’t gotten 2
how long after amazon oa3 did it take for people to hear back
Curious, any other Canadians here? Checking if any Canadian companies are hiring for 2021 new grad now besides Amazon. Most places around seem to open in Jan
@fast vapor I've done Cisco, IBM, Pinterest, Clearbanc, Deloitte and Wish
Like 2-3 weeks @tranquil relic
jesus lol
Are yall still doing leetcode simultaneously while applying to jobs?
I feel like application period is when everyone does leetcode
Has anyone given the final round for MSFT and has received a decision ?
I aced 2 out of 4 interviews and did pretty decent in the other 2, was just wondering what are the odds of getting in with this performance.
Also, what do you guys think is the most reliable source for finding out about the average salaries in a specific location ?
Also, what do you guys think is the most reliable source for finding out about the average salaries in a specific location ?
@tepid minnow idk about location, but levels.fyi has salary stuff for most big companies
i think you'll be able to filter by location
problem with glassdoor is that it might be outdated and skew lower due to how salaries have increased over the years
@fleet niche once school picked up and i started applying places Ive got no time lmao
you can filter on levels.fyi by location: https://www.levels.fyi/locations/, and then you can sort to see which companies pay the most, etc
Is it risky to wait for the date closer to the offer deadline before accepting it?
I have an offer from Amazon expiring Nov 1 but I have a few interviews in mid-late october and I wanna see how they turn out before accepting Amazon
@rustic sable Are any of those open right now? It's really hard to tell because I applied to a few companies and got some responses telling me "It's too early, come back in Jan"
@languid plaza what exactly are you concerned about? it's really really really rare for companies to rescind an offer before the deadline, and I highly doubt Amazon would.
Thank you so much for your help guys, appreciate it.
@rustic sable Are any of those open right now? It's really hard to tell because I applied to a few companies and got some responses telling me "It's too early, come back in Jan"
@fast vapor I believe they're all still open. Veeva also has a Toronto posting as well
Thanks for the info! @rustic sable
@tender dune I'm about to try it next week
Yes but you have to be willing to walk away
what'd yall think about GHC shitshow?
