apparently they dont ask u to code (jpmc)

From my calculations the doordash offer is around 180k to 185k without the signon, so that's compensation from year 2 and onward
@tiny oak they arent asking you to code? That's interesting

How come amazon's package is less than others?
digital carbon
All the offers in this server are from big N or unicorns
Amazon's package is good in the grand scheme of things
I'd speculate they pay less because they've been growing a lot lately, but idk
tired bay
I think they bet people want their stock which has grown at a ridiculous rate
arctic drift
Amazon's hiring bar in previous years has also been lower than most of FAANG/Unicorns iirc
it's very hire fast fire fast mentality (also why their stock vesting schedule is so fucked lmfao)
which is why it seems "lower" than other FAANGs/Unicorns (except MSFT which pays basically the same)
vocal carbon
what is their stock vesting sched?
digital carbon
5/15/40/40

oof

basically if you suck you won't get stocks bc you'll get pipped out first lmfao

@earnest mist nah. unless u literally jump the solution. in a 45 min interview u should aim to finish the main question in 25 mins so they have time to ask u other questions

I have 2 offers. One from Adobe (return offer) and the other from Amazon. I'm tending towards Adobe (san jose) since it's better pay, work and wlb. Amazon feels a good choice mainly for location (Seattle, I have friends and family there) and the FAANG status. I will most probably move to Seattle in 2-3 years. Amazon feels like a good way to start in Seattle but I'm concerned about the toxic culture and work I'll be given. What do you guys suggest?
opal mango
130k+ in San Jose vs 116k in Seattle
peak dirge
For sure Adobe
autumn lynx
what work would u be doing at adobe vs amazon
opal mango
TC for Adobe is over 300k
rigid elbow
I'd take adobe tbh
opal mango
Amazon is the standard Seattle offer for entry-level
vagrant raft
Wtf why is Adobe so high
rigid elbow
^ asking the real question
vagrant raft
Do you have experience before a masters degree?
visual beacon
wtf Adobe's TC is 300??
vagrant raft
Then its possible
opal mango
Yeah I worked for a year before my masters
vagrant raft
There we go
vagrant raft
^^
rigid elbow
you got that yoe with masters so amazon offer is lowball
autumn lynx
yep
opal mango
Do you think it makes any difference having FAANG on the resume?
rigid elbow
Adobe is good enough no worries
sharp lichen
it doesnt matter having faang on resume unless you have all 5
its like the infinity stones
rigid elbow
lolol
opal mango
Yeah, Amazon lowballed. Only reason to consider is FAANG and the location which appeals to me
rigid elbow
Id say amazon has like an inch higher reputation than adobe but def not worth that TC
opal mango
Internally transfer to Seattle later
@vagrant raft that's the plan at Adobe
rigid elbow
- masters
opal mango
I have worked with distributed systems and real time data pipelines
rigid elbow
exp + masters in california to me sound 300k capable
peak dirge
Do you have your masters
vagrant raft
Yea specialized skills + exp + masters can net you that
tepid minnow
Go for Adobe I would say
I have a very similar profile as yours
just without any prior experience
I took Dell over FAANG
Much better base and profile
and location
I would say, go for a sure shot profile
opal mango
Yeah, I think the same. I'm just not sure if it'll hurt my chances when I do look to switch companies
tepid minnow
I have heard of ML and Distributed Systems people doing Full Stack work at Amazon
which is like bull
opal mango
I have heard of ML and Distributed Systems people doing Full Stack work at Amazon
@tepid minnow that's the fear I have
rigid elbow
Taking adobe over amazon will never hurt your chances
simple hazel
amazon is a sweat shop for new grad, just dont
peak dirge
One of my friends was thrown into a Full Stack role at Amazon and had no prior experience. Said it was stressful
tepid minnow
123k base
vagrant raft
Yea Adobe probably has a better culture as well
tepid minnow
same profile
rigid elbow
hey i signed amazon offer myself and im telling you to go adobe 🤣
digital carbon
I feel like there's no reason to take Amazon in this case over Adobe, I'm surprised you're considering Amazon at all @opal mango
tepid minnow
Is adobe giving you SWE-2 ?
lyric nest
Definitely Adobe
rigid elbow
Playing the devil's advocate, amazon is a good starting position as a new grad with that solid name reputation
but not with that offer from adobe
digital carbon
name/prestige becomes much less of an issue once you have some experience from what I've heard, so in this case the difference in name is almost immaterial
rigid elbow
^^^
tepid minnow
I personally don't think there's any solid reputation left with amazon after doing that kind of hiring in the last 2 years
opal mango
Is adobe giving you SWE-2 ?
@tepid minnow didn't tell me if it's swe-2 but 2 promotions would make me a computer scientist at Adobe
rigid elbow
@tepid minnow aws is going on solid, if you mean by prestige you are right
tepid minnow
Sweet man, I would go for Adobe without a doubt
digital carbon
yea like hiring bar prestige, not prestige of their services lol, AWS is still top notch
tepid minnow
I agree but if you look at ratio of people who are actually contributing towards AWS as a platform wrt people who are closing online tickets lol
It's unreal
I have personally seen very very bad cases with amazon
digital carbon
@tepid minnow aws is going on solid, if you mean by prestige you are right
@rigid elbow sorry for the confusion, I was replying to this
simple hazel
i have a friend pulling 65 hour work weeks in aws just to stay off dev list. poor guy
rigid elbow
poor guy
tepid minnow
People with 3+ years of industry experience have entered as a new grad and worked on something completely irrelevant to their profile
and then had major issues switching
simple hazel
you cant switch if ur on pip/dev list
tepid minnow
Specifically ask about your team, your role and your profile before considering amazon over adobe is what I suggest @opal mango
vagrant raft
Yea it isnt too bad to swtich
Omly issue is that your manager has complete control
what if you get a sociopath
Then ur screwed
rigid elbow
at amazon you just gotta find a right team
vagrant raft
^^
tepid minnow
Another point that is very important is that you've already interned with Adobe so you know what your work life is going to be like @opal mango . Consider that as well
rigid elbow
I think we altogether have no doubt that @opal mango should take adobe
tepid minnow
I am just suggesting because I recently made a very similar difficult decision, I am not saying it was the right one but definitely consider these factors
Respect within your team plays a huge role in your career growth as well
rigid elbow
real career growth = switch companies
@sinful meadow preach lol
opal mango
Thanks guys! Really appreciate the help!👍
proven badger
for an onsite interview, do interviewers usually give you hints if they think you’re stuck lol
And does that take away from your performance?
just wondering cause when I’m doing LC meds/hards I feel like I can get the question most of the time if I get a poke in the right direction
patent cloak
Yeah they’ll usually give you a hint but that’ll def hinder your performance
tepid minnow
I have had a very mixed experience, some interviewers are really awesome and they themselves recognize where we could get stuck and give hints and at the same time some of them wouldn't even give useful hints lol
even after asking
them for one
proven badger
Ahhh I guess it’s a luck game then 
thanks guyss
sly saffron
Then there are some interviewers who will give you hint too early and then reject you

That’s genuinely insane, must have negotiated with some other really good offers or be a PhD student lmao
cerulean pivot
nah thats standard package for return offer for full time
slightly above standard
regular sign on is 70k
stoic yoke
245 tc for first year. Usually a good idea to amortize one time bonuses over 4 years imo.
cerulean pivot
why? doesnt make sense if ur only getting it in 1 year
stoic yoke
I think that might be one reason why levels.fyi averages are inflated
nova gyro
Cause then it's just a battle for the biggest sign-in bonus

hmm yeah
stoic yoke
Imo just makes it easier to compare different offer packages to each other. Yeah basically what susanoo said

dam yeah i just want JPM cus its in NYC so im still leaning towards it
and get to live at home for a few years
to save money
even though roblox pays way more
thats why im kinda conflictee

roblox is super profitable
you'll make more money there even considering the higher CoL

I had kinda technical for my epic interview
it was a very high level abstraction though

I did the OA but didn’t let him access my mouse. He was confused bc I was using Ubuntu and wanted to set up screen sharing a certain way on my machine. I said I got it and did it instead. It worked out. OA is untimed, no compilation or test cases. I had decent answers in python IMO but a rejection a week and half later

@spice belfry generally during the first interview they'll ask you if you have any other offers. Just say "I have no offers with deadlines right now, but I am actively interviewing and have X final rounds in X time"

hey everyone, I've got a question
I'm an undergrad who is on an F1 visa. I've got two summers of research experience, and worked at a startup in my junior summer which I've continued this fall. I spoke with career counselor at my school who was very insistent that I need industry experience to really increase my odds. Would you guys agree?
wind acorn
@rocky zinc hard to say atm the market is an employer's market due to all the layoffs and/or COVID impacting the business headcount is reduced on top of that
opaque heath
Can having solid interviewing skills and personal projects make up for the lack of a big tech company internship?
wind acorn
not really sure what it'll look like next year
rocky zinc
not really sure what it'll look like next year
@wind acorn hmm makes sense but in general shouldn't there be more openings for ft?
wind acorn
but this year I'm having a much harder time getting callbacks as opposed to last and I have more experience this time around too
solid terrace
Can having solid interviewing skills and personal projects make up for the lack of a big tech company internship?
@opaque heath depends on if you can pass the resume screen in the end, since solid interviewing skills won't make a difference if you can't get an interview
wind acorn
@rocky zinc yeah but there's probably also more applicants
rocky zinc
@rocky zinc yeah but there's probably also more applicants
@wind acorn how so? You'll only have seniors
wind acorn
@rocky zinc entry level = <2 years of experience
rocky zinc
What about faang? @wind acorn
opaque heath
@solid terrace thanks, what do those odds look like? How much of a difference does it make to have a solid intern experience at a startup vs a more established tech company?
wind acorn
headcount this year is reduced so this year most of FAANG isn't really hiring new grad/entry level roles (G and FB for instance). Does Netflix ever hire entry level roles lol?
opaque heath
I can provide more details if youd like
solid terrace
haha i wish i knew the answer to that, but referrals are usually good to get past the resume screen
wind acorn
hard to tell since this is the first time I've applied for FT so I'd take my answers w/ a grain of salt @rocky zinc
opaque heath
Fair. My assessment is I have a great GPA, okayish projects, and I've had research experiences plus this startup internship. I think I can get referrals through friends, and hopefully that's enough to get past the resume screen
simple hazel
if ur coursework is low u should try working part time w/ the startup. very big plus, esp if u can establish that u were a crucial member in a small team

rapid crown
I have to give Amazon OA3. Can somebody please share the questions

No questions are shared here @rapid crown
stoic yoke
@rocky zinc this year new grad is definitely harder than intern. Covid means there's economic hit now but companies are betting on a better future. Also companies don't want to onboard new grads virtually and are betting that by next year people will be back in the office. So intern hiring is better right now. You can tell by the # of people sharing their intern offers vs the # of people sharing new grad offers, and by the fact that lots of companies are not even opening new grad right now like FB
visual lagoon
I feel like next year will be also hard since there will be 2022 new grad + 2021 grad as 2021 new grad are not getting many jobs

About to officially decide to got to Bloomberg for new grad, over Doordash. Looking for dissenting opinions that I might not have thought of yet.
anyone have any input?
arctic drift
you should probably say why you decided bb over doordash so far
and what you've thoguht about lmfao
tidal grotto
lol yeah sorry! I was thinking that Bloomberg is a lot more established as a company, so they would have better training. Both are in NYC, so location is a non-issue. Doordash comp is like 20k per year higher, but it's also in RSUs and they aren't public yet so idk if that is real money or not. I also think I'd probably have better WLB at Bloomberg
cerulean pivot
i would agree that ur probably gonna have better WLB at bb
but wlb is a team to team thing

How do you feel about their cultures too

I'm really confused about tech reputation tho. I'm not sure which would have better recruiting potential later on

rocky spoke
i think people have an obsession about talking through their answer...i dunno if u guys have ever done mocks with ur friends.. but it's hard to keep track when the interviewee is mumbling some random calculations and stuff
fallen iris
So do you guys suggest thinking for few minutes in silence?
@rocky zinc If you really need to, communicate that with your interviewer so s/he's just not starting at you silently thinking and making the whole interview awkward
rocky zinc
I feel talking without thinking affects your performance
As in even thinking for 2mins might help
Especially when you're thrown new shit
fallen iris
mhmh I agree, but imagine the interviewer that asks you the question to which the interviewee is just quiet for 2 minutes.
The interviewer doesn't know what's going on in your head, you could be panicking or you could be processing how you're going to attack the problem.
Simply telling the interviewer like "Hey, mind if I think about this for 2 minutes?" would make a big difference and not make the interview awkward
rocky spoke
@rocky zinc this is what I do everytime without fail:
After interviewer talks through the question i say:
Ok cool. I'm just gonna take a few minutes to read the question again and write some ideas down on paper. When I have a better understanding of the problem I'll talk it through with you.
And they always gladly say ok. I think they like it too cos it gives them a few minutes to write stuff down themselves
