I was supposed to graduate in may 21, but got an internship for spring, so now I'm graduating in December. When should i start looking for jobs? And will those be 2021 new grad positions or 2022?

I negotiated higher pay in my return offer because I had shipped entire features to prod and that's something above most interns pepoShrug

#

And that's how I used that offer to leverage my DC offer

#

Yo when y'all sign Google offers do y'all get class A or class C RSUs??

arent they the same

basically

except one is non voting or something

I'm just so happy. I kept telling myself I could look back on all the rejections after but was starting to lose hope because I'm so bad at LeetCode

I still am awful at LeetCode, I didn't even finish the leetcode they gave me. But they must have liked something else

i think if you go through the problem solving process and they really think you're a good fit for the team, it can be better than just trying to find the optimal solution

#

has anyone ever written a successful email telling a company that they received a job offer from another company and wanted to see if you could expedite the interview process?

stone monolith
#

Yeah all the time

west heart
#

is it dumb if i send a message like that to multiple companies, i feel bad if im asking for a priority interview and then don't even take the job if i get it

stone monolith
#

Just tell them that you have an offer deadline and that if there's anything that they can do to expedite the process

#

Nah don't feel bad

#

interviewing is a two way street

west heart
#

true

#

i have an interview on friday and have two weeks to make a decision so i might not even mention it to that company until after the interview

stone monolith
#

i'd just mention it tbh, it might add grease to the interview process, might not

west heart
#

true

stone monolith
#

in my experience it's pretty made for an easy interview because if someone else is interested in me and the company that hasn't given me an offer is interested in me, then they feel like "oh shit someone wants this cowpoke, let's try and push him through"

#

just my exp tho and that's purely anecdotal

Hey guys, I have a question that some of you might find relatable: I have applied for grad school (not been accepted/rejected yet), and applying for full-time positions simultaneously as a safeguard. Should I disclose about the grad schools in screening calls/interviews?

west heart
#

if you're going to grad school full time when you would be working then yeah

#

actually i wouldn't even say anything until it's official

#

good luck!!

#

i've had a bunch of problems with time zone differences, you'd think that these companies could implement something that automatically adjusts the scheduler to be in your time zone

thank you for the advice

does anyone else find codesignal shit to use with Java

Lol it's not a faang...not really a big company but it is somewhat known in the security field (I think lol) rip

#

Probably not because they don't hire a lot of new grads

slim lake
#

I can never get above 800 on codesignal. What do I need to practice on LC to achieve that. I feel codesignal has a very specific set of shitty questions. At least on of them will be.

#

Like the last one I did one of them was a math question

#

Yeah but that never happens as consistently on hacker rank than it does on codesignal

#

So I feel like there's some genre of questions that codesignal uses specifically

#

Idk it's a small sample size so maybe I'm wrong

ember berry
#

codesignal problem statements are really hard to understand sometimes

rancid gull

codesignal fucks me every time sadge

I rage quit both times I had to do an OA

Quick question: So with CodeSignal doesn't allow you to take multiple exams within a 14 day period for multiple companies. What about HackerRank? For example, I got the OA for Twitter to do and the OA for Roblox to do within the next 5-7 days. Will those be two separate tests or will I take one which I will submit to both?

No chance for 2021 university grad?

#

I wonder every company does that. However Facebook is the only exception. Is it because they are too greedy to hire only experienced ones so that they don't have to deal with new grads starting from scratch?

Facebook typically hires lots of new grads this year is a pandemic and budgets are scrutinized they decided to not hire externally for new grad

Hey guys I need some opinions. Would you rather take a Kleiner Perkins Fellowship offer for new grad or a return offer from Google new grad?

tech interviews are just like tests, some people do good on them without studying, some people cram for days and still fail

interviews need to be more OOD and System Design than the LC problems

Well one of my friends who got an offer from AirBnB new grad last year told me he didn’t get one LC question. It was a full stack take home project he had 2 days to complete which he said was easy. The final interview was just adding additional features to the project

#

AirBnB is known for having easy interviews tho

#

Maybe for intern but not for new grad I guess

unkempt echo
#

lc just provides u tools to put in ur mental toolbox (like cs courses do)

#

for ppl who struggle with that, they have to do lots of LC to turn technical interviews into a pattern matching game

peak dirge
#

Yeah LC is just mainly pattern matching but after you have 3+ years of experience the interviews are more tailored towards system design than LeetCode. You’ll still have to do a LC round but it’ll be more system design rounds

unkempt echo
ember berry
#

interviews are a crap shoot anyways, you can do 400+ LC problems but still might get the one you have no clue about

this is why for LC, its better to master each topic rather than specific problems, then it's only a matter of formulating the problem according to some topic

Don’t do this. It’s literally worse to do this then to sign for more money at your current position. They already know you have a foot out the door and they’ll exploit that till they force you out. The only way to get more money in this industry is to job hop

#

Your manager will know that you’ve got your eyes set on greener pastures from the moment you try and renegotiate. Easier for them to just fire you and find someone who will do the job cheaper

#

I mean ymmv but every time I’ve gotten a job offer I’ve left my current position. I’m not just leaving for the money. I’m jumping ship for a new corporate culture, new manager, etc

That's not the issue per se, more like the fact that this is one of their major benefits that they are advertising. Seems like perhaps not much else is good about working there. That's how I interpreted it. Don't most tech places provide food afaik?

But the rest of the job post seemed kinda sketchy too so I see why it might seem reasonable on its own.

unkempt echo

most places definitely dont have a kitchen in the office, people are attracted to food stipends/free food so it makes sense for them to advertise
