#

nice

orchid ibex Nov 4, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

I heard Roblox has an amazing work culture

arctic drift Nov 4, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

I love that quote

orchid ibex Nov 4, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

and they are extremely profitable

cerulean pivot Nov 4, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

i think u can work on stuff that will be transferrable

#

did she mention how team matching will go?

#

(from roblox)

orchid ibex Nov 4, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

roblox has about 2.2k employees

#

would be insane growth

#

where is doordash located?

arctic drift Nov 4, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

San Mateo's not far from SF

#

it'll probably? be cheaper than living in sf

orchid ibex Nov 4, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

Yes def cheaper

cerulean pivot Nov 4, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

idk u are in a really good spot

#

u cant make a wrong choice tbh

#

i guess tahts what makes it hard

arctic drift Nov 4, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

Random Number Generator it

cerulean pivot Nov 4, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

yeah

arctic drift Nov 4, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

(lowkey though you could RNG it and see how you feel about it)

cerulean pivot Nov 4, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

thats why i didnt wanna be in mpk

#

fuck that shit

arctic drift Nov 4, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

(lowkey though you could RNG it and see how you feel about it)

#

whoops

#

I forgot to finish that thought

#

basically like RNG it, see what it lands on and like see what your gut says about it

#

that's what I do sometimes

#

because impulsively you'll be like do I regretti that decision or not

cerulean pivot Nov 4, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

i would imagine that doordash has worse wlb than roblox

#

tbh roblox is really tempting lol

arctic drift Nov 4, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

Roblox wlb looks really good from what my interviewers said

#

culture is nutty

orchid ibex Nov 4, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

like doordash's platform vs roblox

#

roblox would be so much more fun

#

(imo)

arctic drift Nov 4, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

We're also a roblox echo chamber though ngl

cerulean pivot Nov 4, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

what would u want to work on tech wise @quick burrow

unkempt echo Nov 4, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

does anyone know when roblox would IPO

arctic drift Nov 4, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

next year I think

orchid ibex Nov 4, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

they already filed

#

feb i think

ornate charm Nov 4, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

Does doordash overwork their engineers?

cerulean pivot Nov 4, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

i think its a side effect yea

orchid ibex Nov 4, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

Food delivery is very competitive

#

is door dash even profitable?

arctic drift Nov 4, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

is any food delivery service profitable yet

cerulean pivot Nov 4, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

idk food delivery is competitive, but my team at uber is extremely chill

unkempt echo Nov 4, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

personally think affirm is super underrated

arctic drift Nov 4, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

a lot of Roblox is C++/Lua I think

#

from what I've seen on their tech blog

last linden Nov 4, 2020, 9:06 PM

arctic drift Nov 4, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

b/c game fizzix

cerulean pivot Nov 4, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

it might be in ur interest to ask ur roblox recruiter to set up a 1:1 for hiring manager & you

#

and ask the questions u wanna know answers to

#

the team?

#

or recruiter

#

if they aint got 30 mins for 1:1 call................

#

👀

orchid ibex Nov 4, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

The manager that interviewed me said he barley knows what roblox is. But he leads infrastructure so makes sense

arctic drift Nov 4, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

mfw don't even know your product

cerulean pivot Nov 4, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

i mean

orchid ibex Nov 4, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

Ikr he was like "All I need to know is if its graphics heavy"

cerulean pivot Nov 4, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

if theres anyone that doesnt know the product, it would be infrastructure people lol

orchid ibex Nov 4, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

game is for kids

cerulean pivot Nov 4, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

infra is the polar opposite of product

#

so makes sense

#

orchid ibex Nov 4, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

Also SF is kinda gross but that's just me

arctic drift Nov 4, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

I think living in a city does make sense as a new grad though

#

like making friends becomes /easier/

#

as opposed to the suburbs

silver owl Nov 4, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

sf is definitely kinda gross

#

but it has lots of character

#

monumentally a better place than south bay

#

once i paid $99 for an uber home from sf to mv

#

not a fun time

#

dont live south of like

#

san mateo

#

ur gonna hate ur life

cerulean pivot Nov 4, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

yes

old kestrel Nov 4, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

They forgot

#

yes.

cerulean pivot Nov 4, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

well i know multiple people personally that shared with me their offer

#

and they had equity in them

copper gust Nov 4, 2020, 11:11 PM

#

is it hard to get amazon fulltime in irvine?

solid moth Nov 4, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

for a 3 round onsite, do you have to do well in all rounds to move on? or can you afford to have 1 mediocre interview if you excelled in an interview w another team

#

for context this is for amazon LOOL

copper gust Nov 4, 2020, 11:33 PM

@solid moth wondering the same thing I did well in 2 rounds and 1 round i did ok in (just did my 3 round today)

iron gate Nov 4, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

late to the convo but roblox has one of the best work cultures in the bay area

#

i’ve been told they regularly play roblox during stand-ups and with their VPs

#

also no crunch time

vapid river Nov 4, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

Ain't tryna get chummy with the boss tbh

solid moth Nov 4, 2020, 11:58 PM

#

@solid moth wondering the same thing I did well in 2 rounds and 1 round i did ok in (just did my 3 round today)
@copper fractal yea im curious if that would matter, since youre interviewing with 3 diff teams

marsh comet Nov 5, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

how much time does it generally take to hear back after the Bloomberg telephonic round?

digital carbon Nov 5, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

Ain't tryna get chummy with the boss tbh
@vapid river why not?

tiny wedge Nov 5, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

does roblox get back after final round within a week?

tall nebula Nov 5, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

this is speculation but it seems like if the hiring manager you talk to wants you on their team, you'll hear back pretty quick. otherwise there might be some matching phase later on?

tiny wedge Nov 5, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

the verbal is all a dude really needs

wild otter Nov 5, 2020, 1:17 AM

subtle field Nov 5, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

@real root Just received my OA for Palantir in London. Have you started your process?

real root Nov 5, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

Completed the OA for now, on to a phone screen

subtle field Nov 5, 2020, 3:37 PM

#

How was the OA for you:

#

i received the typosquatting one, trying it this weekend

real root Nov 5, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

Wasn’t too complex, I didn’t get it all done though

lofty edge Nov 5, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

Anyone has an offer deadline next week and still waiting for Roblox final interview result? I had an offer deadline due next Monday, and Roblox recruiter completely ghosted me. lol

supple fjord Nov 5, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

What is the roblox final round like?

prisma saddle Nov 5, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

Roblox OA scared me

fast siren Nov 5, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

Hey everyone,
I'm new to this discord, so sorry if the question has been answered before.

I have a 2nd round interview coming up with Jane Street for trader. Could you share your similar experiences, suggestions, resources to study from, etc.

I am new to trading interviews so any advice would be appreciated.

lofty edge Nov 5, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

@supple fjord The hiring manager round was pretty chill. Went through the resume and shared my previous experience.

In bar raiser round, I got some BQs and a system design question.

supple fjord Nov 5, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

yike ive never done a system design question, is it related to your resume?

#

and wow is there no LC or anything?

lofty edge Nov 5, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

No LC in my final round. The System design question was pretty open-ended. It’s not related to my resume.

supple fjord Nov 5, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

oh i see, do you have any suggestions on what resources i can use to study system design?

orchid ibex Nov 5, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

Roblox is still interviewing?

arctic drift Nov 5, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

I had my final yesterday

#

I think it's until like this week or the next

spice belfry Nov 5, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

for bloomberg, has anyone NOT had the HR interview immediately after the two technicals and still passed?

iron gate Nov 5, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

On the form to schedule final rounds for Roblox, their dates went all the way to next week

arctic drift Nov 5, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

I didn't have my bb HR interview right after

#

they're kinda backlogged wrt schedulign

daring bough Nov 5, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

@arctic drift hi

arctic drift Nov 5, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

@daring bough hi

spice belfry Nov 5, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

well that gives me hope, thanks @arctic drift

arctic drift Nov 5, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

did you ask your second interviewer about next steps

#

Mine said that he just didn't know about availability for HR so he'd have my recruiter email me for scheduling

lofty edge Nov 5, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

@supple fjord There are lots of good resources on YouTube about system design. You can also checkout https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer.

spice belfry Nov 5, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

did you ask your second interviewer about next steps
@arctic drift no i didn't

arctic drift Nov 5, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

oh

spice belfry Nov 5, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

asked the first for feedback but he didn't want to share

#

so i didn't ask the second

arctic drift Nov 5, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

uh yeah just hope then LMFAO

spice belfry Nov 5, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

its fine, i'll find out soon enough

arctic drift Nov 5, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

they're pretty fast wrt responding tbh

autumn lynx Nov 5, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

How are u guys getting Bloomberg interviews 😭

spice belfry Nov 5, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

supple fjord Nov 5, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

@supple fjord There are lots of good resources on YouTube about system design. You can also checkout https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer.
@lofty edge thank you so much 😄

vocal carbon Nov 5, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

prisma saddle Nov 5, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

@spice belfry I am also in the same boat, did two tech round on nov-3 but have not heard about HR round

latent cipher Nov 5, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

how do you factor in the value of RSUs when stating your TC? do you j use share price now even though it’ll vest later?

honest ruin Nov 5, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

for people who got cap1 offers, did they call or did they email?

patent cloak Nov 5, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

@honest ruin emailed to say congrats, and you signed up to schedule a call in that email

zinc knoll Nov 5, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

@fast siren second round was pretty similar to first round for me - just a bunch of statsy / math questions to work through

Have you read Heard on the Street by T.F Crack ?

smoky jungle Nov 5, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

has anyone done sprout social oa

latent cipher Nov 5, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

Holy shit that Adobe offer is fat af

#

#

(newest one in salary sharing)

honest ruin Nov 5, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

@patent cloak how long did it take to hear back?

restive pebble Nov 5, 2020, 11:13 PM

#

adobe paying big bucks

patent cloak Nov 5, 2020, 11:13 PM

#

@honest ruin 48 hours

dusky robin Nov 5, 2020, 11:14 PM

#

Cap1 took 6 days for me

#

To get back with offer

loud anchor Nov 5, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

i just want to say that doordash has been one of the worst interview processes ive done

#

they promised me a result like 3 times now by a date

#

no update

#

i have deadlines due tomorrow

#

and i was suppoesd to reach an offer decision lats friday

#

hands down worst recruiter communication ive had

#

its worse than ghosting because like

#

at least i expect a ghost if i don't make it

#

not knowing if i have an offer screws my negotiation strategy too

#

like if you're gonna reject me don't keep stringing me along

#

i'll just take the L and move on

#

oh i'm definitely doing that

tiny wedge Nov 5, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

that’s on par with vmware 😢

loud anchor Nov 5, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

i was going to do it today but i didn't have a thing to put for offer/no offer yet

#

so we'll see

#

if they give me a fat offer all is forgiven i suppose

#

if not i'm never ever using their app again

digital carbon Nov 6, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

maybe leave a review on glassdoor lol
@quick burrow reminder that glassdoor will become useless soon since they're pivoting to brand management (exactly the opposite of what a review site should do lol)

undone abyss Nov 6, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

did anyone do morning brew oa and can shed some light on it?

hazy lava Nov 6, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

Cisco vs DoorDash new grad, which do you guys think is a better org

quick panther Nov 6, 2020, 12:51 AM

doordash

#

🅱️isco is a boomer company

acoustic mural Nov 6, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

For anyone that did a final round interview with Microsoft, how many interviews were there? Email mentions 2-4

undone abyss Nov 6, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

i only had 3

spice belfry Nov 6, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

@undone abyss i might do it this weekend, also interested in knowing lol

#

its 2 hours tho

#

crazy

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

has anyone heard back today from roblox after their final round?

ruby crow Nov 6, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

For anyone that has negotiated offers, how much did you negotiate?

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

I got a 15k signing bump personally, but i think it really depends on the company and your competing offers

#

some companies like microsoft for example have different pay levels? for stock at least

#

like 70k/3.5 year, 120k/3.5 year, or 130k/3.5 year

ruby crow Nov 6, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

I feel like I'm in a good place to negotiate rn, but they gave me a close deadline and while I have 2 other finals before, I need to send in my negotiating before hearing back

#

hoping to negotiate 89k -> 95k + 5k signing -> 10k signing

#

kinda an odd spot

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

oh i see what you mean

#

you could try asking for an extension?

ruby crow Nov 6, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

Already did :/

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

oh did they say no?

ruby crow Nov 6, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

Got a final tomorrow and wednesday, they extended to Friday

#

initial deadline was wednesday

#

apparently this offer was their last spot

#

so they can't give too long

#

lil difficult but I think I can hear back before

#

or ask for a second extension

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

ohh gotchu, hm that's tough. the two finals you have left you would take for sure over your current offer?

ruby crow Nov 6, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

I think so?

#

It's with Duolingo and Cockroach labs

#

not sure how i'll do but I really liked my early interviews and both companies do stuff I'm really interested in

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

😮 yeah i would def go with either of those

#

fyi i interviewed with duolingo and they took like 2 weeks to get back to me

#

but i didn't have competing offer

ruby crow Nov 6, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

The company I have now is definitely my favorite in terms of product + work life balance

#

but I'm still not sure I wanna move to utah

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:43 AM

#

hmm i see, yeah the numbers you posted don't seem too outrageous

#

like the bump you're asking for

ruby crow Nov 6, 2020, 1:43 AM

#

yeah

#

so right now I'm interning

#

and I make 83k a year

#

with that salary

#

could I negotiate off that?

#

There miiiiight be a return offer late spring I wouldn't know til then

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:44 AM

#

hmm i feel like that's kinda tough because it's lower than their 89k initial offer and it's also an internship?

#

oh you mean use the threat of the potential return offer?

ruby crow Nov 6, 2020, 1:45 AM

#

not really a threat lmao

#

more so match based on cost of living to what the full time salary would be where I'm interning

#

if that makes sense

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

ohh like if you were to be working at your current company for full time

#

it'd be a lot higher? is that what you're saying?

ruby crow Nov 6, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

Yeah

#

It's in NY so it's vv different cost of living

#

but if I did proportional to cost of living match that maybe

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

gotcha, tbh i feel like that's going to be really tough

ruby crow Nov 6, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

yeah

#

i figured it's a stretch

#

I'll do some more research this weekend

#

thanks for the help!

#

congrats on the offer heck yeah

orchid ibex Nov 6, 2020, 1:47 AM

#

@tall nebula are you waiting for roblox or have they sent you an offer

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:47 AM

#

maybe others can chime in but if i were you i'd maybe ask for higher due to another reason

#

i'm not that great at negotiating but i've heard to always provide a reason for why you need higher

#

@orchid ibex ya i'm still waiting on roblox after my final

ruby crow Nov 6, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

Ye I think I can negotiate based on other stuff

orchid ibex Nov 6, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

when did you last interview?

ruby crow Nov 6, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

hopefully duolingo pulls throughhhhhhhhhhhh

orchid ibex Nov 6, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

I interviewed I think 21st of Oct still nothing

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

last wednesday lol

#

oh shit even earlier

orchid ibex Nov 6, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

but they did say first week of novemberish

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

@ruby crow yup for sure, duolingo is awesome. good luck with everything!!

#

yeah lol i think they're just super backlogged

#

some people with competing offers did hear back already

orchid ibex Nov 6, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

idk I think they are just gonna finish interviewing before sending them ou

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

but some (also with competing offers) haven't

#

yeah 😦 kinda sucks

orchid ibex Nov 6, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

I also think they have only 1 recruiter

#

is your recruiter Jeanie

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

oh really?

#

i actually don't know if i have a recruiter LOL

#

how do you know your recruiter?

orchid ibex Nov 6, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

the one that sent the Hacker rank

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

i got the initial reach out email from a noreply email

#

oh LMAO yeah idk if i have a dedicated recruiter 😂

orchid ibex Nov 6, 2020, 1:50 AM

#

what about the person that schedueld ur interview

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:50 AM

#

oh i had two people schedule for me - lemme get the names

#

Jonathan Lee, Ashley Drennan

orchid ibex Nov 6, 2020, 1:50 AM

#

yeah jon shedeuled mine

#

but apparently jeanie is the one that gives phone call offers

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 1:51 AM

#

ohh gotcha

#

yeah i got some jumpstart invites from jeanie lol

Hello X!

We are still currently reviewing the feedback for all candidates. Unfortunately, I do not know an exact timeline, but if you can update me if you have any offer deadlines, we will try our best to beat that date.

Best,

i can't imagine how telling someone thank you for their time and for answering your questions would hurt

Like send one last email to the recruiter telling them that ima share my experience with my professional network and school peers

Hey guys. Whats the longest you've ever waiting for an offer letter?

Reason why I ask is because I've completed my first interview process 3 weeks ago. With positive feedback from both the recruiter and the hiring manager. But still no offer letter yet 😔

tall nebula Nov 6, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

for me it was around 2 weeks

#

did you follow up?

cerulean pivot Nov 6, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

did u receive a verbal offer yet/

slow sonnet Nov 6, 2020, 6:26 PM

Yea last week with the Recruiter.

"The process usually takes a bit longer during this stage. But don't worry I promise it will be worth the wait!"

cerulean pivot Nov 6, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

if it was me

#

id say something along the lines of

#

hey, is there any update yet on offer letter? just wanting to make sure i have an offer signed given the weird climate of the world right now. hope you can understand

#

u might also wanna ask when u will get an update if they dont have one yet

#

with or without covid its still very long time lol

#

to not have an offer letter

slow sonnet Nov 6, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

Ok thanks. I'll draft up an email this weekend and ask on Monday

vital granite Nov 6, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

Yeah after interviews especially the final round its not disrespectful to inquire about a timeline

#

so you aren't in the dark

#

and after a week I think is a good time to do a follow up requesting the status of your app

if it was a general application from online it will take longer but if you attended a conference and a recruiter directed you to a specific req application then the process is typically faster I've seen

#

Fastest process I've had in conference was with Northrop. Talked to recruiter, they liked me => schedule interview one week later => 2 days after got an offer. but that's super rare plus you need to be a citizen for it so that means a smaller pool of applicants to go through.

There's a lot of factors to consider.

Thanks for the info @vital granite

My interview process went like this in case you're wondering:

Filled out job application => emailed a recruiter immediately after => recruiter replied a day after to schedule a screening Interview => did Interview the following week with an interview with the Hiring Manager scheduled immediately after => Interview with Hiring Manager the week after.

Now im waiting lol. Been 3 weeks

New to this channel..needed some help with regards to deciding between offers. I have 1.5 years experience after undergrad and got offers from Bloomberg and Oracle OCI. Bloomberg offer (NY): Base: 155k, Perf Bonus: 20k (80% guaranteed), Sign On: 40k (across two years)..OCI offer (Seattle): 130k base, 3000 stocks for 4 years (around 42k per year), 50k sign on (across 1 year)..I am planning to move around the 1 year mark but yeah you never know...Also, Bloomberg contributes around 3.5k more in 401k...I am international so the wage level thing for H1B is also an issue

pulsar portal Nov 7, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

@atomic badge the 50k over one year will be paid half at the start and half at the end or all initial?

#

Which is between 8-10 probably
@tame latch wanna know if it makes 8-10% difference regardless if you are intl (on opt)

#

Okay

#

I have Seattle oci but gonna work from CA😔

digital carbon Nov 7, 2020, 9:45 PM

#

@atomic badge it's difficult to help if you don't say what you're looking for in a company. like do you care about location, type of work, WLB, etc.

atomic badge Nov 7, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

@pulsar portal paid out at the start. If I leave OCI before 1 year, I have to pay it all back. If I leave after, I get to keep the entire amount. Whereas for Bloomberg, you have to return the prorated amount if you leave before 2 years. So basically, if I leave Bloomberg at the 1 year mark, I get only 20k

@tame latch so if I work the initial few months from home, do I still have to pay the NYC state and local taxes? Even if I were to work from say, North Carolina?

bold gull Nov 7, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

At least when I interned this summer, I got taxed on where I lived not where the company was located

@digital carbon I think I would like Seattle better (not sure) - I am not as much of an extrovert. But yeah..not really too set on a location. WLB matters somewhat - but I am still early in my career. I am def worried about layoffs, PIP, etc cause I am on visa. And the H1B wage level thing if it goes through - I wont be able to get it in case I pick Oracle (OCI).

#

@pulsar portal what's your start date?

digital carbon Nov 7, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

fwiw I've never heard of people getting laid off from bloomberg for underperforming. however, BB is kinda old school and the company values loyalty, lots of people there have been at the company for a long time (not surprising to see some engineers who have been around for 10 years). that, coupled with the fact that training lasts like 2.5 months, makes me think BB might not be suitable if you plan to jump ship after a year

#

are you like dead set on changing jobs after a year, and if so why?

spice belfry Nov 7, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

New to this channel..needed some help with regards to deciding between offers. I have 1.5 years experience after undergrad and got offers from Bloomberg and Oracle OCI. Bloomberg offer (NY): Base: 155k, Perf Bonus: 20k (80% guaranteed), Sign On: 40k (across two years)..OCI offer (Seattle): 130k base, 3000 stocks for 4 years (around 42k per year), 50k sign on (across 1 year)..I am planning to move around the 1 year mark but yeah you never know...Also, Bloomberg contributes around 3.5k more in 401k...I am international so the wage level thing for H1B is also an issue
@atomic badge i have no idea frankly (and take our advice with a grain of salt, we're all prolly younger than you) but when you were applying for jobs, what was the # of years of experience you were aiming for?

atomic badge Nov 7, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

@digital carbon I got through HC for L3 at Google.. but couldn't find a team match yet and my deadline's expiring soon for Oracle and Bloomberg. So I'll prob try for other companies at the 1 year mark or try seeing if I get a team match then (since the result's valid for a year).

#

@spice belfry I was looking for 0-2 YoE roles - because the 1.5 yoe was not really in swe.

a question about the stocks part of TC. its always over a period of 4 years with diff vesting schedule. what happens after the 4 years ? same period repeats or is it re-evaluated ?

digital carbon Nov 8, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

Some companies give refreshers, which helps prevent the TC from falling off dramatically. But yea if a company doesn't give refreshers, people often leave because of the TC cliff

#

Rarely does the exact same vesting schedule repeat afaik

In situational behavioural tests, if the options are between “do it yourself”, “ask a colleague” or “go to your manager” what should one pick?

I more or less went with do it yourself
And I just got my second behavioural-only OA rejection

tidal hazel Nov 9, 2020, 4:06 PM

@worthy spear if you're looking to do internships Spring 2022 onwards, you're gonna need to start applying May/June 2021, some companies post co-op opportunities then. But you can get offers as late as October for Jan start co-ops. And for summer 2022, late July is when companies start posting

mellow vault Nov 9, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

Yeah that’s what I thought @eager glacier
But then I talked to my dad and he’d worked in the U.S like 20ish years ago and he recommended always going to your manager
I thought maybe it’s the difference in culture?

#

Yess
That’s pretty much what I thought
Maybe it was some other questions then?

mortal temple Nov 9, 2020, 4:12 PM

I would say the answer should depend on the situation

The worst thing that happened to me was when during a C++ OA I was going to use a hashmap and a hashset, and for some reason didn't think it through and used a map and a set instead of the unordered ones. Didn't pass all the tests there and didn't realize till after it was over😦

patent cloak Nov 9, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

@eager glacier what don’t you like about the collections module and heapq? You can also just use an ordereddict which is similar to a treemap

arctic drift Nov 9, 2020, 5:39 PM

honestly just use the language you're most comfortable with

u kinda need to for

python 3

#

if ur using a tuple

mortal temple Nov 9, 2020, 5:47 PM

another thing to keep in mind is that most interviews don't require you to compile and run so you could just state an assumption and pretend that a different implementation of the data structure exists if you're interviewer's okay with it

When does it make sense to stop mass applying to places? I feel like I need to spend less time applying and more time studying/doing leetcode because i have bombed some OAs this semester. I want to shift that time spent applying to places to prepare better but when does it make sense to slow down applications? It feels like by the number of rejections im getting that companies are finishing filling their new grad roles

How come you can't do both at the same time? @south path

How come you can't do both at the same time? @south path
@peak dirge its exhausting. Im still a full time student, im involved in my extra curriculars, i still want to make time with friends, im no machine. I can do both but if i can cut back on one to make time for the other then id prefer to do that

peak dirge Nov 10, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

Welcome to the life of a comp sci student lol. It is indeed hard but don't feel like you're alone. Literally mostly everyone is doing it. It's why we're all stressed haha

#

But it's probably best to prepare now for the winter/spring cycle if you don't have an offer

#

If you do 5 LC a day, by the time January/February roles around you'll be able to pass any interview

south path Nov 10, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

is your recommendation to just to straight up leetcode? or is there good resources or youtube channels out there that help you think through these types of problems? Like help build your intuition

peak dirge Nov 10, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

Every LC problem more or less is categorized under subproblems. Like generating permutations/subsets are categorized under backtracking while some array problems can utilize two pointers/hashing, sorted arrays can utilize binary search, etc. You really have to understand which category problems belong to and from there it'll be easy to see which strategy to apply

vital granite Nov 10, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

rule of thumb

looking to apply Fall/Winter? Spring/Summer is when you do a bulk of your studying
looking to apply Spring/Summer? Fall/Winter is when you do a bulk of your studying

#

CS is tough because it's just not you anymore, you are competing with everyone else.

#

no shame though if you have to cram both at the same time. It means you sacrifice some personal life but it's a good investment for safety in knowledge you are hired after graduating

peak dirge Nov 10, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

My parents found it wild when I described to them how CS interviews worked where there's 4 rounds of interviews and in each round of interview you get 2-3 coding questions from a pool of ~500 possible questions

#

They always asked why I was studying so hard with doing LC and I told them that's why

vital granite Nov 10, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

Yeah my family didn't know how stupid tough the interviews can be. So they were shocked that I studied while having part time job and full time school. In and out of bed constantly doing nothing else at times

#

it can be depressing

#

but my employment offer was worth it now I feel so much less anxious, this year has been fucked. I'm stupid lucky to get an offer.

#

When does the leetcode grind end tho

vital granite Nov 10, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

technically never

#

its ok to take a break

peak dirge Nov 10, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

Oh yeah totally. I would wake up at 6am to study LC before school

vital granite Nov 10, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

but interview skills should stay sharp

open nexus Nov 10, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

I mean even after you get a job after college

#

If you wanna move to a different company

#

You gotta go back to square 1

peak dirge Nov 10, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

But then when you look at how people at the age of 22 are making more money than their parents at that young of age it's pretty understandable why it's so cutthroat

vital granite Nov 10, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

I would say you don't have to grind so hard especially as you get more projects under your belt

#

yeah

#

super cutthroat technical wise and culture wise. you need to be a perfect candidate sometimes lol

peak dirge Nov 10, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

In the moment you hate the LC grind, but as you do more and more you begin to understand why it's so hard to get into these companies that pay so much

vital granite Nov 10, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

grind now and reap more rewards later. CS job market may have shrunk some but it's one of the most lucrative.

#

there is actual rewards for it compared to other degrees

peak dirge Nov 10, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

I love problem solving so I don't really mind it. But I'll grind away 6 hours of my life everyday studying LC if it means I'll be making ~$150,000 at the age of 22. It's true money doesn't buy happiness but that's why you have to find the perfect job as well that pays that much. And that's why it's so cutthroat because everyone wants those jobs lol

vital granite Nov 10, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

money can't buy happiness but that financial security makes it easier for you to be happy lmao

peak dirge Nov 10, 2020, 3:41 AM

Money can't buy happiness but it'll sure af drive you to the front door of happiness lmao

@tall nebula nope. im thinking

to work at the place i accepted for 2-3 years

then roblox will get back to me, then i can start working there then

maybe they'll get back to you when roblox is real life?

yeah no one has heard back from roblox besides some people with competing offers

i think they match make you first before giving an offer

I didn't 100% the OA lol

and I feel like a lot of people didn't

maybe to see who put in the effort to do it instead of blindly applying?

i fucked up my oa and also did it late xd

their process didn't seem to cut a lot of people though

#

and on the easier side

#

imo

#

so unless they really start cracking down on behavioral + hm interviews

like personally my technical questions were like LC mediums
and their OA was like 10x harder so if you got through the OA but can't get through the technicals
