#

it was 1 tech 1 behavior

#

tech was basically resume grilling about ur technologies, asking cs trivia, and 2 lc questions but you talk through it instead of coding

#

behavior was just 45 min of "tell me a time"

tiny oak Oct 12, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

gotcha hate resume grilling

#

for like technologies portion

real prism Oct 12, 2020, 4:49 PM

they also asked a lot about cybersecurity

#

about sql injections, xss

tiny oak Oct 12, 2020, 4:50 PM

like i have a good amount of technologies and languages i'm familiar with so i don't get screened out lmao

i had databases on mine, so they asked about ACID, which i forgot

tiny oak Oct 12, 2020, 4:50 PM

ok good to know still waiting on a response they said either tmmrw or wednesday sadge

@tiny oak how long did you hear back after finishing the hirevue?

tiny oak Oct 12, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

took hirevue sept 28th recruiter said they're sending out updates tmmrw or wednesday

#

it's location based though

#

after u take hirevue they send u a questionnaire and your app ONLY gets sent to the location you selected

#

so it differs

I couldn't find any on their website

tiny oak Oct 12, 2020, 5:55 PM

they don't specifically say new grad pretty sure @worthy spear

#

but i think some of them dont specify exp required

trim bridge Oct 12, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

hmm is it too late to apply to places like uber tho ?

arctic drift Oct 12, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

I mean worst case you get rejected

#

so it's the same result as not applying

#

and each app takes like 5 min unless it's some workday taleo crap

tiny oak Oct 12, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

i know for uber i applied to like 4 diff positions and it made me do entire app all 4 times which was fun

how long does it usually take to hear back from twilio and citrix after OA?

Twilio just "waitlisted" everyone so don't count on that

@main rapids i think that's decently standard
@grave gull did you learn linux sysadmin from a book or a course?

digital carbon Oct 12, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

@main rapids i think that's decently standard
@grave gull really? like for SWEs with some full-time experience maybe, but idt interns/new grads know about this stuff usually right

#

as an intern the most linux-y thing I've had to do is write some sed/awk script to rename files and namespaces in a c++ project

grave gull Oct 12, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

so this stuff right cron, bash type command, setuid, lsof, /proc/sys/fs/file-max

setuid and /proc/sys stuff was covered in my OS class
cron/lsof/bash stuff was covered in a class on software tools at my uni

#

yeah for general SWE probably over the top for the general new grad, but i think that's all fair game for a server troubleshooting interview a la SRE/fb prod eng

digital carbon Oct 12, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

Yea that's fair

#

@main rapids what kind of role were you interviewing for?

main rapids Oct 12, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

@digital carbon @grave gull it was a linux consulting shop that advertised a new grad role

#

a Linux solutions consulting role

digital carbon Oct 12, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

ah ok, well that sounds like fair game then. not common for general swe stuff though

main rapids Oct 12, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

yeah, i wasn't too sure what to expect, my interviewer was a 30-year linux veteran who started with slackware lol

#

he was kind enough to hold my hand throughout but i didn't really expect to need to know that much stuff

well, rip i guess :/

you might be able to get a location change when you get an offer, I did that as an intern but it takes some extra steps and time. Switching locations is not guaranteed so don't count on it, it's also very hard to get into ny/chicago/sf since their headcount is smaller if you've got those locations in mind, the others are usually easier to get into@snow canopy

150k signing wild im guessing its over a year or 2

cursive loom Oct 13, 2020, 3:31 PM

it is a pretty special case tho

#

so if you end up getting a citadel offer, don't go in expecting to get that much

#

you can maybe negotiate up to it, but i wouldn't push any guarantees

Anyone got Twilio summer intern OA? I have applied to fulltime and got both fulltime and intern OAs lol

#

For people that have signed signing bonuses

#

how much were you taxed?

obtuse stone Oct 13, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

~30-40% but you should get some back from tax returns. They're usually withheld at a higher rate

old kestrel Oct 13, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

I won’t get mine until my first pay check

orchid ibex Oct 13, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

150k -> 90k

#

ouch

#

could of bought a nice car

old kestrel Oct 13, 2020, 4:31 PM

I mean it’s taxes

lilac sentinel Oct 13, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

@unkempt echo Is the signing bonus prorated if you leave before a year is up?

orchid ibex Oct 13, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

What if youre in a 0% income tax location

unkempt echo Oct 13, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

no i think you pay back the full gross amount if you leave before a year is up

#

so post taxes

lilac sentinel Oct 13, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

Ah I see, thanks

high thunder Oct 13, 2020, 4:36 PM

careful though

you'll not liekly get a refund from taxes

How many weeks ( or days?) in advance do you all start moving in to a new place before work starts

high thunder Oct 13, 2020, 4:39 PM

i read online that you should start looking for apartment 2 months out

#

i personally would like a solid week in teh city before

Oof yeah, hopefully prices stay (relatively) low throughout the year

#

Also, how long of a lease are you guys comfortable signing with

unkempt echo Oct 13, 2020, 4:42 PM

i think i want to sign max 1 year lease early on

high thunder Oct 13, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

you might be able to lower ur rate by doing like a 15mo

#

more 'free months'

#

it's probably a good idea to visit the city a few months early if u got th etiem

tiny oak Oct 13, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

i prob would go check out city and stuff like beforehand

high thunder Oct 13, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

your company might even pay for it

#

ik someone, signed fb intern offer, then they flew her out just for a tour

tiny oak Oct 13, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

plus on-sites are technically supposed to be in person and they fly u out for them

#

until covid hit

lilac sentinel Oct 13, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

@high thunder Was it just that one case, or does fb do that for people who request it?

high thunder Oct 13, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

idk

obtuse stone Oct 13, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

FB does that for most interns, it's called preview day

high thunder Oct 13, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

just ask

lilac sentinel Oct 13, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

Oh oops yeah the preview day, misread it as new grad

high thunder Oct 13, 2020, 4:48 PM

@rose rivet intern or full time?

rose rivet Oct 13, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

full time

thorny creek Oct 13, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

I did the intern one in the past and it was honestly the worst interview experience of my life

#

They pay someone overseas to watch you while you write your code (they arent like an interviewer they just watch)

#

And if you lean to far off camera they yell at you

#

*too

rose rivet Oct 13, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

yeah, it doesn't seem worth it

thorny creek Oct 13, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

Definitely funny looking back, but super not enjoyable during the 3-4 hour interview

#

Anyone have a opinions/suggestions for the easiest companies to get into that pay over $100k+ to new grads (not easy, just easiest)

#

The discrepancy in pay between Big N / Quant and average software roles is crazy

flint halo Oct 13, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

i feel like easy will always be kind of subjective due to resume filter

copper fractal Oct 13, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

Quant interviews are way harder

#

Even Quant OA's like Citadel

unkempt echo Oct 13, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

difficulty is variable so theres no real easiest company

#

like look at amazon last yr vs this yr

tight marlin Oct 13, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

c1 asked greedy coin change and some other easy as well going through literal if statements, mostly behavioral and some case study, they start off 100k+

#

intern and full-time interviews were the same at least for last year, pay is also either the same or close to the same for both too

thorny creek Oct 13, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

Thanks for the responses. I get that the question is completely subjective, just curious about opinions

#

c1 = capital one?

tight marlin Oct 13, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

yeah, capital one

unkempt echo Oct 13, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

barclays was p easy and its 100k on east coast

thorny creek Oct 13, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

I have had a few final rounds where I barely didnt get the job for some 120k+ jobs but I cant seem to get any offers past 80k. It feels frustrating and random this year

tight marlin Oct 13, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

this year has definitely been a lot harder, lots of places are pushing off recruiting or hiring at fractions of what they would normally

#

I feel though, I'm in that same area as well. I'm thinking worst-case we'll have a better shot after our first job in 1-2 years

thorny creek Oct 13, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

I hope so but I worry that there are so many people in this boat we will have to compete against them and also the new graduating classes

#

The grind never ends

flint halo Oct 13, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

80k is still more than the median family income in the US

thorny creek Oct 13, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

Its frustrating because 80k is a killer salary for a new grad by every stretch of the imagination

#

Yeah I was about to say that

#

It is hard not to compare though

#

I need to get better at that

flint halo Oct 13, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

if you want to increase your TC you can jump after two years and then you’ll be clear of all the new grads

thorny creek Oct 13, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

Especially when you barely miss out on offers that pay double

flint halo Oct 13, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

if you made a big N salary, would you be thinking about quant salary?

thorny creek Oct 13, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

I hope to always look for the next experience and next opportunity but there is this feeling of failure for not getting to a big N

tight marlin Oct 13, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

I feel that completely, I'm definitely worried about career progression and having flexibility for working for some cool places/locations

nova gyro Oct 13, 2020, 9:24 PM

how do you jump from swe to quant?

devout bobcat Oct 13, 2020, 9:24 PM

LOL

nova gyro Oct 13, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

i thought its like a totally different field

flint halo Oct 13, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

ahh I was referring to swe @ those firms but tbh I’m sure some people made that jump

nova gyro Oct 13, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

ooh okay

thorny creek Oct 13, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

SWE roles at quant companies can be ridiculous (whole other ball park of salary ranges)

flint halo Oct 13, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

what helped me stop comparing myself to others was deleting social media (including ignoring the social part of LinkedIn)

#

and really asking myself how I wanted to define success

#

also this year it’s super super hard wrt recruiting

#

F and G aren’t even recruiting new grad (yet?), amzn mass rejected people a while back

thorny creek Oct 13, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

Yeah I somehow managed to get a Google referral and they don't even have jobs posted sad_kermit

#

@flint halo Thanks for the comments though, I definitely need to take some time to refocus

#

how bland?

midnight harbor Oct 13, 2020, 10:09 PM

“Do you have time tomorrow to have a quick call to discuss interview feedback?” bland

autumn lynx Oct 13, 2020, 10:10 PM

@dark thistle the first one?

dark thistle Oct 13, 2020, 10:25 PM

Yes, the one hour one not the on-site

I suppose I’m just wondering whether it’s more behavioral or technical so I know what to expect

simple hazel Oct 13, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

its technical. depends on which project u built

#

but they will ask u about resume and stuff too

arctic drift Oct 13, 2020, 10:31 PM

wait I just realized you said neeva lmfao nvm fuck that

#

I didn't touch that project

I think last year what ended up happening was I got that notification, they sent a hackerrank a few weeks after with a deadline of 4-5 months in march, and they interviewed feb/march and finalized in april

Definitely better to have it reviewed now than alter tho

wth that's so late :(

did you get that from a recruiter?

does qualtrics negotiate/can you get them to give you 100% Seattle guarantee?

night plume Oct 14, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

Not sure I have recruiter call today

#

I’ll ask then

#

I’m kinda leaning towards oracle OCI cuz pay and cuz I hear they r middle of building cloud service from bottom up so a lot of new cool things to be done

#

And also oracle just got tik tok

#

So maybe more opportunities / stability ?

flint halo Oct 14, 2020, 3:29 PM

yea one concern is probably wlb

#

but 40k is a whole lot

night plume Oct 14, 2020, 3:31 PM

unkempt echo Oct 14, 2020, 5:03 PM

if you dont mind the red tape and stuff that comes with big tech, i'd say google is probably better at the moment

digital carbon Oct 14, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

Isn't career growth at Google good too anyway? I thought the process of getting promoted from L3 -> L4 -> L5 is laid out pretty clearly for the most part. Maybe there's some politics involved, but I think you'd find politics anywhere.

real root Oct 14, 2020, 5:14 PM

google will be easier to find a job anywhere else after

unkempt echo Oct 14, 2020, 5:14 PM

career growth at google is pretty linear up to L5 - if you want more meritocracy i wouldnt say its the best

digital carbon Oct 14, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

Where is meritocracy better?

#

Smaller companies?

grave gull Oct 14, 2020, 5:16 PM

certain smaller companies

Im just curious

I will say you will regret later if you pass on google

unkempt echo Oct 14, 2020, 5:16 PM

like fb is more meritocratic

restive cairn Oct 14, 2020, 5:17 PM

if you don't like at google you can move to other places

#

it is harder the other way

#

true

#

idk maybe it is easier in US

#

🤔

digital carbon Oct 14, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

Putting aside career growth/culture/TC, I'd take google just for the job security. That's only because of the current economic situation

restive cairn Oct 14, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

this is a good point

digital carbon Oct 14, 2020, 5:19 PM

If there wasn't a global pandemic then I might've considered doordash more strongly. But that's just my opinion

unkempt echo Oct 14, 2020, 5:19 PM

i dont necessarily agree with that, i think if you can get google and doordash you can probably get other comparable offers down the line pretty safely

but like on average i would say a candidate that worked at google and a candidate that worked at unicorn or no name unless no name/unicorn applicant has a bunch of cool stuff

google will get the interview bc recruiters see it and their eyes light up

but I don't have a job so

both @old kestrel and i applied to uber last year

if the company is still kinda small wouldnt it be more valuable to work there? (i guess a unicorn) rather than a big ass company like google

Hi, Can someone share front end technical interview experience? Ex.. using React or Angular. I want to know if it is expected to build UI or solve programming questions as part of frontend coding round.
Out of all the companies I've interviewed for, only startups have asked me to build React/Angular stuff on the spot--hope this helps but it's pretty rare imo.

hybrid plover Oct 14, 2020, 10:05 PM

Yes, it helps.. Thank you. I was wondering what to expect in such coding rounds using only React/Angular. @wind acorn

Also it will really helpful if you could share about the time limit (I mean will it be sufficient or it depends on the length of the requirement) and the platform that are usually used during interview

wind acorn Oct 14, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

@hybrid plover Time limit was the same as the other algo rounds (~1 hour). Depends on the company... they usually provide environments like CodePen so you shouldn't feel expected to have a whole babel/webpack starterpack set up and ready to go on local
