Can I dm you ask some questions regarding applying to wise
Sure, go for it
So, yesterday I came to know that it is nearly 2% to work as a PR. The F1+OPTs/CPTs cover some years of work permit however after that you most likely need to apply for H1B which are very tough.
If you are a non-US graduate, the process is even more hard making it nearly 0%.
As I did not know anything about these, this broke my heart. I have been practicing leetcode for quite some time and build my career upon fulfilling the requirements for those swe jobs. All for nothing probably.
Now, I am asking if there is any way to get into those fortune 100 companies if not faang, in any other way.
For example, applying in the German Branch, or any other EU branch? Or Canada branch?
Does anyone know how hard it is to get a work permit + internship/new grad position in Canada without a Canadian Degree or any other visa.
And what about Germany or other EU countries? Do they accept foreigners without a visa and sponsor for their visa? How hard is the process there?
For Canada I think you'd want the Federal Skilled Worker route, which is points-based (without a degree you'd need significant work experience and probably need to be bilingual English/French at native level to score highly enough)
H1B isnt tough from FAANG/big tech right?
I have no idea. Is that true?
False, it’s a shitshow if you’re not Canadian or Mexican
i do know of a few people from my small sample size who got rejected for h1b and had to move to canada and theyre at a FAANG so just be cautious still
That’s where you’re wrong kiddo
It is indeed a not dual intent visa. However it’s easier to get H1B since you’re already in the country and with experience 
Chillax my Canadian beta
Watch me 
If you say so 
does anyone know what to do if my 60 day to reapply for OPT has expired and my initial OPT packet got to USCIS after 30 days?
Hey! How hard is it to get a job in the US being from asia?
Uh are you an F-1 student in the US or studying in Asia?
Studying in asia
Uh, afaik it is very hard
Unless you are truly goated
You have a better chance to work at branches in Asia tho
Or you can come to US for masters or so
That way, you can get a job in the US relatively easily
Thank you
👍
depends on which country youre from
i am from singapore and there are people who have gotten h-1b1 visa to work in US easily. all without having to study in US
I’m from Thailand

Either way, I’d say apply to the companies directly and let them/you figure out the visa issues
There are visas like O-1 for outstanding individuals who have not studied in US to work in US
And probs even other visa classes that can get you a sponsorship to work in US. Do your research ig
Or work in an MNC and ask for internal transfer to whichever country/city you wanna go to
@vestal current Thanks alot!!
TN 
does anyone know what should a student do who filed for OPT past the 30 period of being issued the I-20 and also outside the 60 day period of getting a new I-20. Basically if the OPT gets rejected they wont be able to apply for a new one. They already have a job at a big company but cant start working till they get the OPT. Has anyone had such situation or anything similar before?
TN visas are so nice
I just went to the US consulate for a vibe check and they approved me 
If company says "PwC does not intend to hire experienced or entry level job seekers who will need, now or in the future, PwC sponsorship through the H-1B lottery" So can we apply for internships in these kind of company who say we don't sponsor, but we don't even need sponsorship for internship right?
Technically no
What are yall plans if your lottery fails for 3 times
I have my lottery coming up in next march
First and upcoming
Can't you apply for eb2/eb3 alongside your H1B? Assuming you're not from backlogged countries
Good luck.
Hi guys, I also write here since I find myself in the "International" area.
I'm new, my name is Alex, I work at Accenture (Italy🇮🇹 ) in the consulting area, if anyone wants help feel free to reach me 😁 (I'll do the same with you too).

you have to be on F1 visa for atleast 2 semesters before you can do an internship right
yes
sucks, thanks
Does united sponsor for people who have work authorization currently but need it in the future?
U can intern freshman summer
Was wondering if there was anyway to do it before, but guess not
Im saying you can
Anyone who's starting their masters this fall 22, and started preparing for summer 2023 co-op?
think he meant he wants to intern (assuming off-campus) before summer, so thats gonna be <2 sems since stepping foot into US and thats not allowed
just to note, if its on-campus internship, thats allowed
Ye this
I'm an incoming freshman and won't have a US/Canadian phone no. until my flight in September, but I still want to apply early in August for competitive fresh/soph programs. Would it be a bad idea to put my phone number from my home country or should I just wait and apply in september until I get a US phone number?
I've always use my home country phone number, I don't have an US number
I don't think that matters tbh
they must know where you're located in anyways
are you not currently studying in the US?
no
I haven't studied in the US either
oh i see. it's just that the internship stipulates that i'm studying in the us/canada and i don't want to confuse them by throwing in my home country phone number
if i were you, id wait till sept just to remove any unconscious bias
so what are "phone" interviews then?
theyre mostly technical coding interviews via codesignal, coderpad, zoom etc.
some comapnies call your phone tho, ik BoA and bloomberg (either called on zoom or cell idr) did that
ah i see. i rly wanted to apply early cuz i'm prepared anyway rip
shouldnt make any diff tbh. msft recruits up till jan/feb so sept isnt late at all lmao
if anything, mroe time to prep for companies beyond just froshmore progs
yeah i see
Capital one considers f1 students or no ?
I have interviewed with G/Amaz before but not from JPM etc firms. Is it because of the sponsorship?
im trying to switch companies so what are some companies that give interviews pretty well like amz/G?
I see. So only top tech would accept me ig
Ive used 2 months for now but i dont like my team lmao
I will delete once you read
I dont really like it here though and benefit aint that great
So i was thinking of switching
So yeah i was applying to firms and got insta reject so kinda surprised
Yup
Nah bro i graduated this may
So opt right now
Kinda free to move
Idk bro if i should put it or not
2 months doesnt tell stuff
Is it going to be bad if i apply to new grad role with current job on my resume?
U planning to switch too?
Interesting
I actually got goldman sachs OA with my current job
I will take notes on this
Yeah
Where u working rn that u want to switch?
I think it has to do with culture alot for me
I think all the tech companies i heard have shitty wlb
Lmaoooo
except for G?
But bro h1b is lottery
😂😂😂
Yeah but i think it’s bs
Some people did not get it and their rate is not up
Yeah i think it’s pure luck
U cant trust the numbers
But imo
I think if we both move
And get another job before marxh
Then they can apply for h1b at new company
If that makes sense for you
I will look in to this. Thanks man
Yeah i dont think we have to wait for another year as h1b lottery is every march
Before january if you move i think ur good
This tbh
Yeah im also considering that but considering time left on my opt and new grad application wise 😂
ngl this server is way to quiet 
any F1 here students able to take school off and intern Fall/Spring full time?
My school says “intl students can strictly only use full time cpt in the summer only”
What schools allow fall/spring fill time cpt?
afaik all schools allow part-time cpt in fall/spring but you have to be enrolled full-time. mine only allows full-time in summer/winter break.
you cannot take time off from school to intern
Anyone know if amazon allows u to switch US offer to like outside the US ?
Ask the hr. But since amzn’s an MNC, I don’t see why not
I'm not from the UK but am from Canada and I think Canadian salaries are much better than UK salaries. New grad offers at FAANG can be $130k - 150k CAD TC. A normal company would start at $60-80k CAD. Another benefit is that a lot of US companies offer remote work from Canada which pay higher and if you're a Canadian citizen, you can work in the US indefinitely under a TN visa
long request but: anyone know major tech companies with offices in EMEA/APAC that sponsor visas with internships that are non-summer?
asking cuz that's the only way i can intern during the Fall and Spring since I can't do it in the US with CPT (school only allows summer fulltime)
Anyone know of any freelance developer gigs out in the EMEA?
- PwC
anyone know if AMD considers F-1 students
Are there any companies except for faang who are willing to sponsor EB-3 (while on OPT) instead of H1-B for new grad jobs? I'm checking myvisajobs.com and the majority of small companies only do h1b
why do you want EB-3?
Don't want to play H1B lottery with ~23% of getting it
Is it true that every consulting company will not sponsor GC's on first day?
Same here
Rip
So i’m considering finding off season internships outside the US
cuz you can take a leave of absence for like <5 months and Still be able to use CPT for the summer in most cases again when u return (no need to wait 1 yr)
Is it worth delaying graduation for offszn internships tho?
If anything, they’re more competitive?
Id do it if i can land FAANG or quant or unicorns EMEA/APAC
i think it’s just less common , less openings but less people looking for them as well ig
Boys is there any point in trying to go for in person internships and applying for faang's unicorns quant etc. even after being underage? I'm not sure if theyd sponsor my visa to go fly to those places as im currently 17
should I just be focusing on remote startup internships or what do yall think is the move? cause I already have one on my belt at a remote startup company
Are u gonna be 18 during the internship?
Probably not
id be 17
im 16 right now if im applying for winter (jan-march) id be 17
nah idk cause i dont wanna waste my time applying to in eperson positions if i know they wont sponsor cause of age you know
basically the only way i can intern fall/spring as an internatioanl student in my current school is to take a semester off and intern outside the US
cuz my school doesnt allow us to do fall/spring full-time internships
it varies school to school
i dont really know the specifics but if u take a leave of absence then it should be fine. But if ur leave is > 5 month of absence then u need to do stuff with ur SEVIS or smt i have no clue rn
heres an example from uchicagos site https://internationalaffairs.uchicago.edu/page/leave-absence-and-withdrawal
Overview and Your Responsibility Before Taking a Leave or Withdrawing Applying for a Leave Returning from a Leave Leave of less than 5 months Leave of more than 5 months Overview and Your Responsibility
So i think something like this would be possible:
...
Summer 2023 US Internship (CPT)
Fall 2023 - Leave of Absence --> leave US to do ur own stuff like an internship outside the US
Spring 2024 - School
Summer 2024 US Internship (CPT)
...
yeah most wont but there are companies that will and its worth the attempt
when is the best time to bring up visa sponsorship questions? Like should I ask if they do h1b/gc immediately or wait till later (after offer?). I dont wanna waste my time if they dont sponsor but also dont wanna screw myself
don't companies usually say they don't sponsor in the job offering? like capital one specifically says they don't sponsor at this time
you could also just ask people at the company
how does job hopping on OPT / H1-B work?
is it risky? and does it impact green card chances
ez on opt, just switch employers and they can apply for h1b for the next fiscal year if they want
h1b is a bit more complicated...it's better if you look at official sources
Oh i see, thanks
and how's the process from OPT --> GC (skip H1-B) if you aren't from a backlogged country? also does it help to be at a FAANG/big tech for GC applications?
OPT --> GC is heavily employer dependent, you need to talk to your manager to figure that out. Some employers are more than happy to sponsor GC without H1B, others might want to "test" you for a bit longer before they commit to GC. If you're not from backlogged country GC should "only" take you a few years at most. Once you've applied for GC you can stay and work in the US even w/ expired OPT and without a GC. Not sure about FAANG/big tech though, it might help, it might not. As long as you're not from WITCH you should be fine lol
Yep
Unless there's something weird going on with your application green card is pretty much guaranteed
yep gc is based on your birth country
not passport
What's WITCH?
wipro/infosys/tcs/cognizant/hcl. h1b sweatshops, they pay minimum h1b wage and treat employees as slaves. the last place you would go to if you cannot get a job anywhere else.
so im graduating this fall 2022 (December), at a mediocre university with a 3.635 gpa, CS major, had ~400 applications on Linkedin applied since last year, 40 indeed, some from ziprecruiter and some from ripplematch - almost all of them were rejected/ghosted, i had 1 internship, ~24 leetcode problems solved, and i have no idea what to do - I want to get H1-B eventually, but as of lately for applying full time (i think its been about 30-40 jobs recently), all rejections, and the ones that are reaching out are the sketchy consultancy type stuff like tcs/synergistic IT... and i also dont know if i've got a shot at FAANG at all

Bro I am from India I will be graduate by 2026 how to get a great remote job or international offers
2026 august
Yep, I did #resume message
I’m getting calls and reached out by all these sketchy consultancy firms from NJ and idek anymore - I’m beginning to think that the only people that will care or be the slightest genuine is FAANG
sorta in the same situation as you but havent started applying yet
grinding leetcode and trying to get into amazon
your reume looks fine though
when did you apply?
august 5
does your portal say "no longer considered"? if not, then you haven't been rejected. amazon oa is super rng, some people get it instantly, for others it takes months
Thing is, how does grinding leetcode help out with the applying to FAANG/jobs part?
Do they reach back to you anyway?
How would they know you prepped anyway
Anyone could say “I did 1000 leetcode problems and got into FAANG!” But im out here struggling with getting even an interview from non FAANG companies
does IBM sponsor?
yes
luck; apply and hope that they get back to you
does anyone know about extending grace period of opt? I heard that if I get research assistant job from school or my professor, I can input employee information to USCIS website
I only have a month grace period rip
Good luck and doesn't hurt to try!
in my experience, non FAANG is more selective in giving out interviews lol. if ur applying to FAANG, just get a referral and ur golden 😄
amazon will gladly give u OA but local mom & pop shop will not call u unless u have exactly what theyre looking for i feel like
Funny thing is amazon sent me an OA randomly out of the blue after a recruiter reached me on Linkedin
unfortunately, they sent it one week into my exams beginning and it was going to expire on the last day of my exams - and I had immediately asked the recruiter if we could have it rescheduled and he agreed to that, stating he would send the link again after it expires
He never did, and after reaching out back and forth, he said "i'll send it" and then he finally just stopped replying
ya recruiters are fking troll like that
this whole year has been a rollercoaster of false hopes and crushed plans
If my conferral date is Feb 01, I can apply for OPT on the USCIS website in November. Sometimes, the processing times are too long (3-5 months), so would you recommend me to stick with a Feb 06 job start date? Or push it forward? I am very confused...
Do you have a job lined up?
If there is a delay they give you a latter start date you dont have to worry about that
Yes. Any idea abt what happens if I get OPT after the company's start date? Will there be conflicts for start dates?
If you dont receive it on time then you will have to delay your start date
But since you already have a job you can just apply at the earliest so you will have the EAD in hand by the start date
Very unlikely that it will be delayed considering recent timelines
Thanks. I hope so 🤞
Anyone have amz sde interview ?
does pinterest not sponsor? got rejected 30s after applying 💀
for software engineer ng , they don't. it is stated on their post
Does Qualcomm sponsor? How do you find out which companies do?
Usually its mentioned on the job postings

Anyone having trouble applying for OPT today? Uscis website is bugging out
bay area, NYC, Seattle
anyone knows if we can do one more summer internship using cpt or opt after graduation?
amazon new grad is filled so i was thinking about applying for summer internship lol 🥲
You can use OPT as long as the internship is at least 20 hrs
cool thanks! 😄
hello! is anyone here based in the UK and know if Amazon London's SWE internship is open/has closed/what is the status? thanks!
i thought they were going through a hiring freeze?
Does atlassian sponsor international students?
Don't think so, I got automatic rejection
That’s crazy
Really?
Does anyone know when Bloomberg London new grad gon open
i think we might have missed it ngl, i've been looking for a while and usa peeps are already at far into the hiring process
are you applying to london jobs as well? @craggy bridge
Ohh no, I pray not
I applied to Amazon Dublin though but haven’t heard back, so I am looking forward to London as well🙁
Yes, UK in general
can't find anything online 😦 and i missed their campus job fair 2 days ago... trying to get inside info through friends working at bloomberg ldn rn
Pls if you get any relevant info, can you ping me?
Question for F-1 students: how do you guys go about sponsorship question when interviewing with a company for a new grad position? Do you keep saying “No” until they hire you and you reach the paperwork process?
you do that you will likely get your offer revoked
and maybe even blacklisted
you just say when you're applying that you need sponsorship
you can get away if it's an internship and you don't intend to come back but for new grad roles, absolutely not
But otherwise most companies just reject right away 🥲
yep there is nothing you can do about that
just gotta keep sending out hundreds of applications
this year is also pretty cursed
im in the same boat, but i still tell them that i need sponsorship and end the process right away if the wont sponsor me a visa than investing too much time in them when they won't sponsor me in the end :/
That’s sad 😭
New grad london has not opened for 2023
I dont know if it will open later
But you haven't missed it
i saw data analyst position for new grad posted on the 30/09 so i think they are going to post the swe one soon
Any list of open London new grad positions yet?
Sorry for interrupting, can anyone give me some advice about my resume? Trying to apply the full-time position recently. I put my resume in #1026049958937382924
I'm also interested
Or a EU list

nah
I've been waiting for 17 days now after oa
no
also btw is it just me or like EMEA and APAC CS communities are just less prominent than say the US
we have 1 channel for anything international
We are, this server is mainly american
I guess it’s just a cultural thing
I know like 2 or 3 people who wish to go abroad at my uni
feel like there should be an APAC EMEA version of levels.fyi or this community it really does feel different

you can still look up different locations on levels, cant you 
ya i think idk my impression, europe is a lot more devoid of innovation than the us
dk if can be explained by culture
It’s not only that, I don’t see many students putting an effort to go abroad/get huge opportunities
Most my peers just want a comfortable job not too far from where they currently are
Which isn’t wrong, just not for me
I did the one for Berlin and did not have to
No
anyone joining Palantir London?
had this email and got taken off the waitlist a day after
currently waiting 3 weeks to hear after getting all TC's on the OA
people told me they take their time so im just waiting
yes
frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
u still got a chance tho if u on the waitlist
i survived and i dont go to target uni
they said they did but it fully never put the camera on
like i was just doing it
maybe they secretly did i dont know
the light on my laptop was off the whole time
it was ez tho tbh
gosh i dont actually remember...... i think soooo
how long u had the OA for?
i got sent an email telling me to do it ASAP which scared me lmfao
had it in my email for like 3 days
okay the deadline is like 4-5 days
they will prob email u if its the last day like they did for me
had to do it at my uni library lmfao, cause i had no wifi at my house 
was panicking
they sent me the assessment and then 2-3 days later i got an email saying to do it ASAP cause its the last day
i got a final next week and in process for a bunch of others. everybody contacted me like this last 2 weeks 
done a tonne of assessments 💀
i got one for tiktok today
no clue how im gonna get it done
did their assessment back in like july and got sent the hirevue last week so i did that a few days ago
Switch that an European server and we talking business
Also, yeah, my Amazon OA had a similar email
nothing from tiktok london yet
still waiting
not rejected] tho just under eval
yes
Is it auto?
no clue some say yes, some say no
not sure what to expect tbh, people are saying its hard but i did the OA for DRW and it was easy tbh 
i sent like 50 US apps this summer
got responses from like 4-5
Its also tougher this year, i think cause the economy.
u should do it, u will be surprised what u can get
tbh im not sure, i think its prob J1 or h1b
most likely j1 tho cause i think thats the "intern" visa
haven't sent anymore US apps in like a month, just been applying to UK which has been far more successful
what firms got back to you for the states?
also anyone heard from Stripe Dublin?
For the US I only got OAs, but I think they’re all auto
In Europe I got replies from pretty much everyone, except MSFT 😐
SIG, HRT, Citadel, Palantir, Instabase, Databricks, TikTok possibly some others cant remember it was a while ago lol
didn't move ahead any furthur after stage 2
oh and tiktok now
haven't heard anything from Amazon usa or Microsoft usa. haven't been rejected yet which makes me think im possibly just waaaaaaaaaay at the back of some form of waitlist.
however im pretty sure most big comps have filled their slots for USA at this point
yep
if u haven't been rejected yet then u could just be like me a few weeks ago just on the waitlist without knowing
keep hope

hi guys i'm beginner anyone want to practice 100 days python code challenge?
anyone applied to blackrock london 2023 analyst ?
btw bloomberg london 23 swe has been open since around start of september

yeah yeah, applying for ft rn
u go to a target uni?
idk which unis are target, only people on spring week gcs ever mentioned that aha
but im pretty sure my uni is one
fair enough
where have you applied for summers in the uk?
this cycle much worse than last year
what makes u say that
one sec i gotta look at my list 
mainly the big techs being slower, i have couple friends that interned at big techs and dont know about returns
meta, twitter etc
uk - Google, DRW, ttd, maven, tiktok, citadel, jpmc, hrt, kurt geiger, two sig, amazon, msft, citrix, pltr, gs, capstone
my friends who interned at amazon all got return offers
i have been waiting to hear from amazon for 3.5 weeks now after getting all Tcs on their OA
tcs?
test cases
nah i applied the previous cycle i think
i applied august i think
late august
ahhh
no clue why they are taking so long tbh
people told me they take ages tho so im just waiting lol
yeah a recruiter reached out to me for the dublin office, but i didnt want to relocate to dublin
so i just waited like a dumb for the ldn one to open
ldn one was open initially
but they had a lot of apps so removed the posting from the site
ye thats what i applied for
they put them back recently
bruuuuuh is that why
why they taking so long lol 😭
amazon recruitment is a blackbox
are they always this slow
u said this year it was worse?
all big companies seem to be really slow
i got only one company which is moving really fast rn
tbf i applied last oct last year, and got offer early dec
hoping to get them and leave this shit for good
which one?
gl
ohhh
not a major company but good enough for me
ill gladly take the offer if they give me one lol
thanks
anybody know anybody who has heard from capstone
i assume im just ghosted at this point
nope sry
i think i got an email about capstone, but i didnt like the location of the office i think? so i didnt apply
was capstone for ldn?
yes
damnit
i heard its v hard to get in, didnt apply
those are the two who are still inactive lmfao
do they even have a london branch?
ye i primarily applied for practice tbh
doing OAs or even a phone screen perhaps always helps me learn
true, but also gives me unnecessarily huge amount of stress xD

Hi, I am Yusuke, a software engineer with 4 years of experience developing a diverse set of web applications.
Now I am looking for a small remote team where teamwork is paramount
in which country?
us
depends on your school
i interviewed for swe intern last year
explicit system design in 3rd round technical yeah, but they can ask design questions in other rounds as well
hi guys, can i ask for an opinion in my resume?
thanks
np!
another thing any recommendation for first timers looking remote jobs
but not US based
anything helps, likes websites or tips
What kind of questions?
do you mean system design or design
Sys design
like load balancers and stuff?
typicaly system design questions, but more related to stuff that bloomberg does
load balancers is a topic that can be discussed for typical sys des questions yeah
Hi guys just got my amazon OA for London - has anyone done it and what's the rough standard for it?
they didnt respond to me
Sorry, Did you apply with a referral?
Hi, everyone 👋
I'm a web3 full stack engineer with 7 years of experience. Currently I'm looking for a job or a project.
Any one in need of devs DM me 😉
internship or ft?
nope
internship sorry forgot to mention
the OA iirc is some leetcode style and then more basic debugging stuff
they have a workstyle assessment (like situational judgement stuff) but I don't know if that is part of the OA
it's simply 2 x LC qs, 15 min behavioral questionnaire and then a short survey at the end
So can international students interview for amazon uk?
If we get an offer, do they sponsor visa
Yes they do.
Yess
i have been having bad anxieties
@thick drift
i have yet to heard from them as well fml
do yall think its conceivable to get a new grad job if you start applying in november
anyone know what amazon's background check looks like?
yeah ofc
has anyone on f1 visa here reneged? im scared the company might tell my school which can maybe lead to my school revoking CPT for reneging
Has anyone done Bloomberg system design round?
you meant EM round?
about to have it soon
what did you guys have for the hackerrank question (first round) ? @ocean hemlock @naive scarab
anyone heard back from google step?
hackerrank question for who?
bloomberg
nah im waiting to hear if i got the final
did the behavioural call 4 days back
hoping to hear this week
u got final?
if so has your status on the portal changed lol, mine hasn't changed this entire time


bruh sounds like the email i got before i did the OA
said i was waitlisted for a behavioural
got behavioural next day
yes i think so
i had an codility and a behavioural all at the same time
it was kinda weird i dont know if thats common or not
didn't have to do OA before, it was all organised at 1 time
yeye same as me then
u get this 3-4 days after your behavioural?
cause thats when they said they would tell me lmfao
bruh really
shit
u think they reached headcount
?
when did u have behavioural?
was it recent
bruhhhhhhhhh why they taking so long
they are either at headcount or just have too many apps
same
i heard some fang in the usa just have a tonne of apps
same and they still taking ages lol
u go to a target uni
i heard they recruit first from the top unis and then spend the rest of the time interviewing everybody else
not sure what they consider target tho
WAIT REALLY
what
frrr
thats late for them wtf
since u had meta t your career fair it makes me think msft just has a lot of apps lol
im waiting still
people have waited 2 months

no clue whats going on this year
is it always like this lol
people were telling me to expect to wait ages for amazon (like 3 weeks) its been 5 now
our recruiters getting fired
are we out for the count 
I have an amazon warehouse next to my school so maybe I should pay a visit soon
it is not uk specific iirc
u uk as well?
no, I am not from Europe
north america?
no
ooooh emea then
yeah
yeye
very close to Europe actually
one bridge away
:)
nope
also, I wouldnt expect zurich oa in case you got london
nah got nothing from london, only applied step tho
matching pool is the same at the end
i done a final so im just praying i can get that and be done with all this
for example, you got oa for london swe intern, if you successfully complete the process, you are thrown into the team match pool of whole emea
It was a month of cooldown
oh fair enough
maybe it's cuz I had a referral for the first three
I thought it was 90 days normally (from last year) but maybe it changed
Not sure but dont think so
i heard from them in Feb-Mar 2022 for summer 2022

they be taking their sweet ass time
We review applications on a rolling basis. --> applies in the first hour of apps with a referral and hears back 6 months later
indeed
discord mobile?
amazon uk is not hurrying up for sure
got me sad 
no clue if its my fault or not
tbh imma take any offer 

is it me or are the swe internships in the UK kinda non existent
i swear there was more this time last year
its gotta be the economy 
i only see like 10-15 apps on linkedin
Anyone done Bloomberg system design or final round?
@slim silo it's definitely easier compared to me for example
- you have ireland uk internships for which you could've gotten straightforward rejected because of visa (msft and many other companies do this)
I think so?
L1 is an option or H1B
no, it means you are advantaged bcs you dont require visa for those offices
yes
people with us masters have different caps and so on
yep
L1 usually for managerial positions
iirc it's not that uncommon since company can keep trying for h1b a few times till 2 years for your L1 passes
2 years is still chill tbh
yeah
I remember sth along the lines of company directly applying to GC too
for example google
you reach out to immigration dep and they can apply to gc day 1
yo wtf
G pls employe mee


anyone had interviews with GResearch (for SWE internship) do you mind sharing your experience? thank you!
nah i visited their office tho its nice af
i applied start of oct and did their sjt but havent heard back since
yeah i got the interview invite today as well
do you know what to expect in the phone interview
phone screen with technical questions ?
but it seems like we dont have any link or anything
so it seems like it is not live coding? @marsh oasis
what office?
yeah but like live coding with someone watching the code
i think it's not for this stage
also, heard good reviews about MS London, that's why im applying haha
are you uk based?
fair fair
i thought microsoft reached headcount :/
did u apply BB?
yep bloomberg, when did you apply?
thanksss, did you apply as well?
nah but i got - final today
they must all work on the same schedule
i think TC is good tbh
oooog
ooof
good luck with that
no clue how to react tbh
gonna just grind - lc tagged prob 
no clue the difficulty level tbh
frrrr i gotta get one of those green cards 
i seen 80k
mentioned
which sounds correct imo cause i heard some other large banks give 80k grad
fr bruh USA intern tc is crazy
😭
lol fr it aint that bad
def possible to have a good quality of life for sure
just not the place for super high tc
also depends where u live
80k can go well far in some places lmfao
be balling
loool
the only place to get super high tc new grad is probably quant in the uk
places like citadel, hrt stand out the most
bruh wtf
lmao
thats funny af
perhaps its supposed to be 1.5 mil

i seen some really senior G people on 1m uk
on levels fyi tho
so could be legit might not be tho
fr
damn fr?
imma go look lmao

yoooo the 1m i saw for google isn't here anymore
ye highest looks like fb
bruh highest for fb globally is 4.4 mil
man grinded for 13 years

what companies cover visa sponsorship for someone outside EU and US/UK (middle eastern country)
the big ones
im international as well, it usually states on the application form if they cannot sponsor
ive heard of someone else getting goldman final round (london intern)
their grad seems to be slower this cycle, haven't heard of anyone thats done their hirevue yet for grad
too busy laying off the bottom 10% of the company :/
u guy are europe ?
uk
^^
U got the email as well
They said they are full
💀💀💀
It’s the economy
This morning
Gl bro gl

Yea bb is definitely higher than 60k lol
Their base is 75k last I heard
Oh ok
60k sounds right then, thats what amazon pays too
Nah new grads get 49k base and 30k stock over 4 years
Must be non-new grads or people who negotiated
The us is just in its own world lol
you are for uk?
yo what is it about London companies and rejection after HM for no good reason, Am I the only one
which company
Palantir/BB
but it depends, sometimes ppl can get unlucky with hm round
they are being picky
hiring manger round
Big rip 😦 is it for everyone?
Like all 2022 interns?
i didnt even do online assessment (if there are) i just sent the application and got ghosted
Anyone heard back from step?
I applied first day with referral but it might be that I havent applied to london
Apparently they were ahead in the process compared to other offices
google ft swe is open?
rip thought they were still closed
is their new grad diff to normal swe, like are they 2 diff postings
or is swe = new grad
not sure tbh, i applied whatever i saw that wasnt internship and not requiring 5 years experience
p sure it was new grad
yh makes sense
did you submit a transcript?
not required, u can still fill out the app without it
nvm i found my transcript
btw I'm like doing write ups of questions I have practiced, does anyone want to have a read? (and perhaps let me know if it was useful?)
mostly LC but I'm also looking to do writeups on face to face interviews I have encountered
nice
yh sure ill have a read
bruh im still not rejected
i gotta be on some form of waitlist for an interview
def not getting an interview tho for sure
they gotta be at headcount
we are both uk london tho
u and me? or u and chadwick
me and @slim silo
oh im uk lmao
done OA for amzn uk
still nothing, no rejection nothing
just "under consideration"
oh you applying for ldn as well
ye
nice nice
no clue whats going on tbh
msft gotta be at headcount or close so amazon has gotta be the same
just wonder whether amazon is either hiring more than msft, or im on some form of waitlist for an interview if a position opens up
🤷♂️
nah they said i did good but they no longer have a position for me
assume that means they have reached headcount 🤷♂️

hey guys, does anyone know if I can do an internship on OPT?
mine is still just "application submitted", no oa 💀
anyone has interview for IMC Capital mind if I ask some questions?
Solved it really easily
I got ldn oa around 6 hours ago for swe intern
applied to it more than a month later than other offices and got it in a week or so
weird
I’m eu citizen from both my nationalities 😂
i dont have eu nationalities but my first language is french, should i try my luck with google paris? 
anyone applied to TransferWise?
When was this?
The oa was just basic css and 2 super easy leetcodes for me lol
I was under the impression that they removed react from their process but could be wrong
😵💫
Mine was like 1 easy and 1 medium
No dp luckily
I cba learning how to do it lol
I just memorise the answers to them if they're on lc tagged
And hope that I dont get unlucky
Yeah I think meta has banned them
Has anyone received Amazon Oa here?
yh ive done the oa, got invite to their hirevue just now
and after hirevue is their final, so was wonddering if anyone has done their final before
didnt even think ab expedia, thx for this gonna apply
whats the expedia strength based assessment?
that OA clapped my cheeks
Hey! Anyone applying for STEM OPT extension? It mentions requiring "ink signature" by employer. This is a bit difficult for me since my employer is in another state. Is it necessary or can we get a hand-drawn electronic signature in its place? Anyway it seems that my Office of International Education wants me to upload the filled and signed i983 so how can it be differentiated?
Can I apply for green card directly and skip H1B? And are there any disadvantages to going this route
i heard a lot of people been getting palindrome pairs lmao
think i lucked out on mine
expedia oa??
same, got a nice priority queue question
i got one pretty easy 2-pointers question and one that idk what i was supposed to do but managed to pass half the cases lol
yea that’s what i got lol
and for my other question istg one of the test cases was incorrect 😹
real
i got a heap problem
and a questoin where the initial big O is obvious but you have to optimize it inside that big O
does mathworks accept intls?
Low key hot
any idea about EAD processing time any body applied recently?
same
yeah its pretty quick this time of year
shouldnt take more than a month and a ahalf
got expedia hackarrank
6 qs (multiple choice and 2 programming)
has anyone done expedia interview day for london?
My final is tomorrow
So I can tell u about it after that lol
One 60 min behavioural + algorithms interview, then one 60 min behavioural + object oriented interview
did you apply with referral?
No
Has anyone done Macquarie grad tech superday?
good luck i have the same tomorrow
is this for full time or intern?
full time
mine is 10am as well lol
moi
true to name o7
😼
any internationals in the USA ?
anyone interviewed for intern at databricks amsterdam?
Anyone have an idea if J.P. Morgan chase OA is proctored
Just finished round 1. Got twosum and a medium dp from tagged
round 2: medium linked list and medium bst qs
is there only 2 rounds?
thanks, good luck
i havent heard anyone hear back after oa for jpm
Do you know what the comp is for expedia new grad
in london it's 46k base idk about the rest
one friend says 15k relocation and i also heard 6k bonus so 
and you get stocks too
Interesting. on levels, it looked like around 60-65k but I don't know if that's cap
I know for internship, they pay 36k so it's a considerable bump compared to new grad
good luck with your other interviews
thanks you too
when you applied?
september 27th
just arrays
unlucky lol
i got dp in the final but i had the answer memorized lol
yea
anyone done wise interview day?
did u do an oa?
i did initial application and hackerrank, doing their hirevue today
in 70 mins right?
so the questions are not lc type?
how difficult was it would u say?
what about the sql one? i only know the basics
damn
thank you and good luck with the rest
yeah i can see that
i have tomorrow only to complete it
thank you my guy
yeah wise hackerrank was sticky aha
definitely did not expect sql and api questions
the sql one was the worst lol
sky's one was piss easy
4 hour time limit for 2 leetcodes and basic css

oh yea
was that for intern
i think they ask interns react and not the new grads
cause the new grads go thru a training bootcamp
yeah exactly
i was suppsoed to have my sky onsite next week but they cancelled it cause of the train strikes

nah they say theyre rescheduling
idk they havent really told us much
but it's from 9am-4pm and includes a "practical activity"
lol
im cancelling if i get expedia
also they dont pay for my travel or accomodation
even G is only like 4 hours
im only really doing it cause it seems like an easy win
better than nothing
whats the behavioural like for Expedia (London)
haha thanks - always so tedious
Not done any LC grind - if i get to the challenges rounds how would i fare just looking at their tagged and doing them/ learning them
my oa was not tagged but all 4 of my final questions were
decent thanks - u get an offer?
Haven't heard back yet. Only did the final yesterday
good luck!
thanks :)
havent heard back after jpm oa grad either
same
How long have you done the OA coz I did mine yesterday
Has anyone here done Amazon work style and work simulation assessment, I want to know how to prepare for that
read the amazon leadership principles and try to align all your answers with them
Ohh ok thanks
i applied 11 sep, did hackerrank 17 sep
Wow crazy!, it means my wait just started lol
