@tawdry herald it's not like BB doesn't have clout, it's not gonna close doors for you

ebon belfry Oct 28, 2020, 4:01 AM

#

yeah idk if amazon has clout really

#

plus BB in nyc would be dope

digital carbon Oct 28, 2020, 4:03 AM

#

well amazon has clout, but idk if that should really be a factor when comparing to BB lol

autumn lynx Oct 28, 2020, 4:03 AM

#

BB is so much harder to get than Amazon tho

#

isnt that accounted for in clout?

ebon belfry Oct 28, 2020, 4:04 AM

#

i would look at WLB too, amazon has negative clout there. idk about BB

tawdry herald Oct 28, 2020, 4:04 AM

banana soup >

dark jewel Oct 28, 2020, 4:10 AM

nah, that's too innovative for bloomberg. Once you start doing that kinda stuff, Citadel gonna poach you

digital carbon Oct 28, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

isnt that accounted for in clout?
@autumn lynx the truth is all this "clout" is artificially created by college students. if you ask someone who has some experience in industry whether BB or Amazon has more clout, they'll just be like "who cares, both have solid engineers who are solving interesting and difficult problems"

dark jewel Oct 28, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

i think clout is a meme, but jumping between companies is a valid concern. The types of problems you'll encounter at BB are different from what you'll see at amazon

digital carbon Oct 28, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

yea for sure

#

also the soup is a meme lmao

dark jewel Oct 28, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

Amazon is likely easier into other traditional tech, while BB is likely better for fintch

digital carbon Oct 28, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

half the time it's not worth it

but when it's good, it's good

dark jewel Oct 28, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

theres a reason doordash loves poaching uber employees

digital carbon Oct 28, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

yea agreed

#

it's very doable to move into tech tech from BB too though. I believe a large part of the google nyc office is ex-BB because it's the easiest place to poach cpp devs from

yea i also heard back 5 days after taking OA 3 so look out for something next week hopefully

did a recruiter reach out or was it an automated email?

#

how long does Amazon give to accept an offer?

#

Internship is different they only do 30 minute interviews getting the 30 minute for new grad is def a leg up but yeah nothing guaranteed

autumn lynx Oct 28, 2020, 5:48 AM

#

it was automated but it "came" from a recruiter

rain rose Oct 28, 2020, 5:48 AM

#

oh yea if your 30 minute rejection was for intern thats way different

tired bay Oct 28, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

Offer for Amazon I think they just transitioned to Dec. 1st deadlines I got my offer beginning October was given till Nov. 1st to accept

autumn lynx Oct 28, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

wouldn't full time be harder lol

#

also p sure they can do whatever they want in an interview

tired bay Oct 28, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

The 30 minute is expected to be go over OA2 but yeah I’m sure curveballs can happen

autumn lynx Oct 28, 2020, 5:51 AM

#

are u sure? i feel like thats the exception to people getting a LC problem

#

like no way they hire everyone off of reviewing OA2

tired bay Oct 28, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

Some like me get 3 hour interview

autumn lynx Oct 28, 2020, 5:52 AM

#

howd you do on the OA?

tired bay Oct 28, 2020, 5:53 AM

#

Getting 30 minute is like you are in top percentage of OAs so u get advantage so would def try to remember what u did on OA2 and brush up on some LC

#

Like 2.5/7 Like 75% test cases not that great

fiery flare Oct 28, 2020, 5:53 AM

tired bay Oct 28, 2020, 5:56 AM

#

Yeah intern different cause they just give everyone same time interview new grad is 2 separate categories coming out of OAs

#

No yeah def overprepare just make sure OA2 is part of preparation

fiery flare Oct 28, 2020, 5:57 AM

#

is amazon hiring bar higher this year

#

or for new grad

#

i know they change their process a bit every year

sharp lichen Oct 28, 2020, 5:57 AM

I think they hire a lot every year

OA2 had a harder test bank imo but still plenty of offers going out

yea they growing like mad

sharp lichen Oct 28, 2020, 5:58 AM

there's not really a good way for us to compare between years unless you interviewed both times

autumn lynx Oct 28, 2020, 5:58 AM

i think my OA1 was harder this year

OA1 was exponentially harder than last year 🤣

i was taking it chill

#

and got fucked

#

has anyone gotten rejected after the 30 min interview?

dark jewel Oct 28, 2020, 6:23 AM

#

it's possible, but the only way you get rejected is if you clearly cheated on your OA3 or you say something blatantly offensive

#

a bar raiser told me that the 30 min calls are typically designed for them to sell you on the company because at that point you already have the offer

autumn lynx Oct 28, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

what happens if you forgot your implementation for OA2 lol

dark jewel Oct 28, 2020, 6:34 AM

you don't need to remember it, you should be able to read and understand what you did though

uneven pasture Oct 28, 2020, 8:09 PM

bloomberg phone is usually leetcode medium ish, 1-2 questions

@visual fable it sounds fancy but set-associative caches are conceptually simple

#

instead of a cache where you directly map memory addresses to the data they hold

#

you have buckets. to figure out which bucket an address belongs in, you hash it by some function. once you know the bucket, you can iterate through it to know what addresses are cached in that bucket

#

it's kinda like how hashmaps work

stark otter Oct 29, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

my work out was cut out lol

#

no teaching

#

just office hours

#

and grading

#

as i said, go for subjects that you know wont have a lot of work from your side, if you are looking for easy money

#

if you want to genuinely put in hours then go all for it

#

mine were prog classes

#

project classes are the hard ones

#

if its simple assignments that you gotta run and take a look at the code to grade then ez

#

but if its open ended assignments that need a lot of understanding of the code then prolly not

digital carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

@worthy spear btw make sure that the TA position you take up actually involves teaching. I took a grading assistant position for a year and I didn't learn anything from it (although it was decent resume fodder for a while)

stark otter Oct 29, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

yeah this ^^

#

if you want to learn something or want to get something out of it

#

be a TA for a good subject

you will learn it in and out

digital carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

@devout bobcat if you can't perform at your best then there is no point giving an interview, they should be understanding hopefully

#

@stark otter @digital carbon
Yeah I was thinking about becoming a TA for the intro programming class or something because I think I can help students understand the foundation lol idk about object oriented....but then again I might loose my patience. So, I shouldn't go for the extremely easier classes.
@worthy spear TAing for intro to programming could be good too tbh

#

it is hard to explain programming to people who are new to it

granite flax Oct 29, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

@worthy spear but that makes sense for u to become TA to improve social skills, good for u plus cool to talk in interviews about those times where u were “tested” by juniors but overcame it

#

Y’all think i should try research if i cant get a TA position? Like i said, school prioritizes those with more financial need and i been turned down like 4 semesters for that reason. I will grad with 1 internship if all goes well

#

One year left

digital carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:28 AM

#

@digital carbon I've explained it to people in my upper level class who got a bit confused on an assignment
@worthy spear yea I'm saying it's a good skill if you can do that, would probably be a nice talking point for interviews

rare scroll Oct 29, 2020, 4:28 AM

#

Thanks @vocal carbon! I guess I'll try to learn c++ in 3 days. lol

stark otter Oct 29, 2020, 4:29 AM

#

yeah man good point

#

lol i thought you didnt want anything from the TA

granite flax Oct 29, 2020, 4:29 AM

#

Oh i meant research assistant during semester not for a summer, but thanks!!! And def consider doing TA especially if u wanna improve

stark otter Oct 29, 2020, 4:29 AM

#

but best to take the subject you are bad at and TA for it

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:29 AM

#

@rare scroll me too lol i've an interview next week that i really want which is gonna be in c++

stark otter Oct 29, 2020, 4:30 AM

#

my friend got really good at ML when he was TA for it

granite flax Oct 29, 2020, 4:30 AM

#

Oh shoot!

stark otter Oct 29, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

as long as you are sure about what you signing up for it should be fine

#

i have had a couple friends regret TA since they didnt want to work a lot but the subjects basically had open ended projects that needs a lot of understanding to grade them

#

TAs mostly only get teaching in labs

#

rarely its for the actual lectures

#

but again depends on the actual course

#

my AOS course was so huge, 3 phds each 30 + age were TAs

#

they basically ran the whole class the prof was retirement age

granite flax Oct 29, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

At my school TA’s have strict office hours tho so i think it would be tolerable restricting yourself to those. The cool TA’s do weekly tutoring on their own time but not because prof asks it

stark otter Oct 29, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

yeah

#

this

#

its gonna be this mostly

granite flax Oct 29, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

Except you’d need a drawing tablet for virtual setting or something

stark otter Oct 29, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

lol see if you can make the prof/uni pay for one

#

free bonus

granite flax Oct 29, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

To make diagrams/etc
Speaking of which if anyone knows cheapest way to get a drawing tablet lemme know i’d like one. Not for art lul just programming stuff

#

Hahah damn my uni would say no

digital carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

I don't mind helping before but I kind of don't want to teach a class.
@worthy spear ohh ic what you meant

#

yea then I guess it depends if that's something you think is worthwhile pursuing compared to other things you could do

Hey! Is anyone hearing back from companies other than the FAANG? I have applied to like 40 new grad openings and haven’t received any OA/interview so far. Been 2 month since I started applying and starting to get a lil scared lol.

@radiant glen i was looking at the levels negotiation service and they say "we currently don't offer help for: promotions at your current company, new graduate offers, and acquisition offers. Although it's possible to negotiate in these situations, increase potentials is either very limited or highly specialized."

shadow heart Oct 29, 2020, 2:29 PM

Thanks for the advice guys! Yeah the number is low but I don’t really see a lot of new grad openings. I have been applying to any of them that appeals even a little to me. I uploaded my resume on the resume channel for review, so do take a look at it and let me know if I need any changes there. Thanks!

Do you guys think there are some opportunities next year? Like they will be posted in January or something? Or is it done for 2021 grads

uneven pasture Oct 29, 2020, 4:27 PM

Some companies don't hire people until 2021

stone monolith Oct 29, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

that's kind of a broad statement

#

yeah

uneven pasture Oct 29, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

off the top of my head, Charles Schwab doesn't hire May 2021 graduates until January

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

smaller growing startups are always in a hiring mode too

stone monolith Oct 29, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

Yeah

#

Lots of companies don't start till Spring which is kinda wack

#

Seems like only big N hires prior to spring semester

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:33 PM

sadly that doesnt work very well if you graduate in december 😦

stone monolith Oct 29, 2020, 4:33 PM

oof

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:33 PM

if covid was almost done i'd acc go back for one last term with friends

Same. Our school already announced that we are doing virtual graduation next semester. Sucks

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

yepp, sucks to start a job remotely too

#

assuming i get one lmao

#

if i dont have anything by mid dec I might just go back to one of my internship companies

bold gull Oct 29, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

Has nobody heard back from JP Morgan?

stone monolith Oct 29, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

It does. We have an intern on our team (started later than I did) who onboarded remotely and I don't think the process has been great imo

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

i did a remote internship over the summer and am doing one semi remotely rn, definitely not a great experience. they're trying to make it better but it slowly feels more like fiverr w benefits and events

mystic mica Oct 29, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

It does. We have an intern on our team (started later than I did) who onboarded remotely and I don't think the process has been great imo
@stone monolith interning rn and I concur

#

hard to get a reach for people

uneven pasture Oct 29, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

I think most tech companies are onboarding remotely until fall 2021 at earliest

#

Really sucks because I don't want to delay working until then lol

mystic mica Oct 29, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

and you're limited to like, condensing questions into scheduled meetings cus most aren't suited for chat since you gotta share screen

#

Really sucks because I don't want to delay working until then lol
@uneven pasture I think most people will understand that onboarding remotely sucks for everyone

#

even normally onboarding is pretty involved

stone monolith Oct 29, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

We have a persistent dev hangout where we can just go and ask questions. We can ask an engineer to hop in real quick, ask a question and then ✌️

mystic mica Oct 29, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

dang that's nice

stone monolith Oct 29, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

Yeah. An engineer on our team is always willing to step in and ask questions. Just as long as you don't ask the same question like 3 tim eslol

mystic mica Oct 29, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

i'm on a small team, we have a zoom chat but it's pretty dry

#

and idk, I feel like

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

i've easy access to asking people stuff but it's still not the same

stone monolith Oct 29, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

We're pretty big, at least from the teams I've been on. We're 16 deep, and we have 10 engineers (11 with me 👼), and two interns (not including me bc converting).

mystic mica Oct 29, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

the thing they gave me is suppose to take like 1-2 weeks but it's gonna take me 3 months

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

for a few weeks my mentor and i were going to the office(cases were p low here for a while) and it was much easier to get stuff done

stone monolith Oct 29, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

Do you work out of the product backlog or are you on your own on a project? That might make a difference

mystic mica Oct 29, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

i've easy access to asking people stuff but it's still not the same
@vocal carbon yeah it's easy access, but it feels weird to just randomly hit people with a question, I feel like I never properly introduced myself to most of the team besides in the morning scrum

#

Do you work out of the product backlog or are you on your own on a project? That might make a difference
@stone monolith it's my 4th day, it's kind of a small project but also something the team has been wanting to do for a while

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

@mystic mica I agree, it's weird especially when it's a simpler question

mystic mica Oct 29, 2020, 4:48 PM

i'm on a compiler team so that doesn't help things PepeHands

#

also IT is fighting me my VPN has choked out several times now and booted me off ssh and everything

stone monolith Oct 29, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

Ah that's cool. I had something like that at my first internship and it was hard to get help. At my current one since I'm contributing to critical path, anyone is pretty much willing to help me because its a sprint goal

Ah that's cool. I had something like that at my first internship and it was hard to get help. At my current one since I'm contributing to critical path, anyone is pretty much willing to help me because its a sprint goal
@stone monolith oh nice! yeah, since it's remote I'm probably gonna spend extra hours tbh

#

i graduated already but found this internship luckily, so I wanna do well and maybe convert to ft if possible

stone monolith Oct 29, 2020, 4:50 PM

good luck!

#

Would you guys take a less interesting job for a difference in pay of say 40k base

stone monolith Oct 29, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

40k+? or -

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

40k more for less interesting

stone monolith Oct 29, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

I'd take any job that pays more and has good WLB

#

if its less interesting then to me it seems like it'll have better wlb

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

it does have v good work life balance and people there are nice too

latent cipher Oct 29, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

$40k is substantial. i'd go w less interesting but good wlb and more $ unless you'd be working on smth so boring that you wouldnt be learning anything bc then you're gonna have trouble going elsewhere

stone monolith Oct 29, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

I'd take it and then just upskill on your free time

#

As long as you wait a few years before job hopping you should be fine even if the tech is boring af

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

When I say boring I mean boring for me as I'm not very interested in those parts

#

I did that over the summer and 20% of the interviews I get now reference that as why

#

But i kinda hated working on it as their product is very customer oriented so a lot of time was spent on the UI/UX

blissful adder Oct 29, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

^work on something that motivates you to wake up in the morning for some reason...you can sellout when you need to support a family but learning and interest should be high in your priorities imo

#

40k is a big diff but if youre learning nd growing youll get promoted and if youre not getting promoted youll be better equipped to leave and find something better for you

sharp lichen Oct 29, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

i think 40k depends what the total comp is because 40->80k is very different from 100k->140k

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

let's say 120k vs 160k

blissful adder Oct 29, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

^ im assuming there are a lot more parts to this decision

#

location

#

for example

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

ah both are remote from canada which is why they are backup backup backup options 😛

sharp lichen Oct 29, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

dang canada pays 160k

#

wild

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

US companies

#

I messed up by doing all my internships at small US companies, so now I can't really "go back"

blissful adder Oct 29, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

hmm....id say take the 120 and live somewhere relatively cheap that you like....forcing yourself into the extra 40k probably isnt worth it if you can find a good col area

#

if youre that much more passionaate about the work

#

especially if its remote

sharp lichen Oct 29, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

also either way. those have decent pay. and you can always change jobs down the line

blissful adder Oct 29, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

youre not gonna wanna force yourself to do shit you dont like for very long

vocal carbon Oct 29, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

Totally agreed, but I think the company is small enough that I can switch to working on something else instead. (they have some very cool parts that's why I signed up in the first place)

wait 160k is nutty compared to 120k, i mean $20/hr more

blissful adder Oct 29, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

also just for general ref" write out your priorities then map your offers onto them...hard to juggle what you want in you r head

uneven pasture Oct 29, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

that's like an extra $160/day

#

just depends how "less interesting" your 'less interesting' is

#

and like whether or not that pigeonholes you into an area you dont like

tiny wedge Oct 29, 2020, 5:12 PM

anyone here take the hiring manager round for qualtrics?

@worthy spear was said above that wlb was fine

#

more pay !~= more hrs

Yepp in this case wlb is better for the more pay company

unkempt echo Oct 29, 2020, 5:58 PM

Can anybody ELI5 what exactly clear street does? I tried reading their vision page but I’m still a little confused https://clearstreet.io/vision

If I’m correct, it seems like they want to create infrastructure for other hedge funds to use to make it easier for them to trade stocks

If your comp is near 150 and a recruiter says it's a lot just straight up reveal offer. The message is pretty clear: your competitor is willing to pay me this much. If u can't match then no point interviewing

that theres such a diversity of interns, experiences, and performances

and what you negotiate on for starting bonus isn't even really based on performance but competing offers

#

doge

arctic drift Oct 30, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

you negotiate based on performance on other interviews*

#

i.e. your perceived worth goes up because more companies want you

#

more companies that pay even better**** want you

#

companies just pay the minimum they can in order to keep you

#

why would they pay you 150k if you're going to accept 100k -- a competing offer makes it obvious you're not going to accept that 100k

marble pond Oct 30, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

i wonder about the transparency thing for salaries

#

people say more people get paid "fairly" but i wonder if it also stops higher salaries

#

cuz if some new grad who did some huge change in azure gets a high tc for new grad, then everyone else who did the regular/average performance will try to negotiate for that person's high tc quoting same level

#

even though that person might have had a much bigger business impact than them

#

so msft cant pay one person more bc... pay one more, have to pay them all more, else msft is not being "fair" and "underpaying"/"lowballing" some workers

vocal carbon Oct 30, 2020, 7:17 PM

Smaller companies often have differing return offers depending on how much you did at internship

#

does anyone know engineers a couple years into industry that have tried switching companies? is it easier to get responses from companies?

#

You can only use this command in 2021_grad_process or 2021_intern_process

found out that my vmware offer is for a team that uses C - do i dare go back into team matching? 😂

spring verge Oct 30, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

doesn't that make sense for what the company does tho

#

are they not mostly low level type code idk

tiny wedge Oct 30, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

they probably have something higher, it’s a pretty big company so i’d hope

Does this mean the stripe RSU policy on blind isn’t accurate? ‘We will convert your cash equity value to RSUs based on the FMV on your start date. Stripe will commit to the dollar value of the new hire grant, but not convert this value to RSUs until after you start at Stripe. This way while the value of the grant will remain consistent, the number of RSUs will reflect the preferred value at start date.’ Not completely sure how RSU’s work

@tiny wedge wait how'd you find out, through the phone call? Or did you learn this after you signed

any heard of the cseo department at msft? I wanted to work on a product team, but got an offer for cseo. Is it possible to negotiate departments or would it be better to try to switch after accepting?

sleek coyote Oct 30, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

@formal reef they didn't let interns interview with other teams so i would assume there is little to no room for team negotiations. Just accept, work for ~6 months, and interview with your desired team

Anyone else get an invite to the doordash ama thing?
