[silk mango]

wait so what do they ask new grads?

[near grove]

2 lc easies and a really basic css question

[silk mango]

did you get offer?

[near grove]

my assessment centre is on the 15th

[silk mango]

oh i see

@near grove you applying for new grad positions? expedia OA was tough for me ngl

[near grove]

yea

i did my expedia final yesterday

[silk mango]

did you do well on OA

[near grove]

i got 15/15 and 9/15 test cases

so kinda

and then on the final i solved 3 out of 4 questions, the 4th one i got a high level solution but couldnt code it up right

so theres a chance that i get an offer but idk yet

[silk mango]

nice nice

for intenrn?

[glad wharf]

any idea hm expedia pay London new grads?

[near grove]

46k base

i've heard 15k relocation, 30k stocks after 12 months vesting over 3 years, and 6k bonus (but im not 100% sure)

[glad wharf]

damn 15k relo :0

do you have any offers yet for ng @near grove

[near grove]

nah

[glad wharf]

ahh ya recruiting also starts pretty late for a lot of UK companies as compared to the US. gl for finals!

[near grove]

thanks

[cyan smelt]

when did you apply

[craggy bridge]

Approximately 3weeks ago

[cyan smelt]

nice, that was really quick

did you use referral? and what school do you go to + internships?

sorry about this im graduating in december haha really wanna figure out what chances i have

[silk mango]

@cyan smelt worst case you can volunteer, correct?

[cyan smelt]

yea

[silk mango]

wait, if we are on stem opt isi ttechnically possible volunteer for 3 years? lmao

[cyan smelt]

i have 3 internships, including one at oracle but im having zero luck

[silk mango]

as long as its cs related

[cyan smelt]

yeah you can volunteer

i need monies tho lmao

[silk mango]

true

[craggy bridge]

My situation is kinda complicated and confusing, I actually don’t understand how I got the OA coz in my job portal it changed from “under review” to “no longer under consideration” but after that I still got the OA. Maybe someone must have referred me or so coz I sent my resume to an employee before applying.

[cyan smelt]

makes sense

[craggy bridge]

Has anyone done citadel OA here?

[near grove]

me

i dont really remember the questions but it was really hard

got rejected afterwards

[tidal nymph]

a friend did citadel oa, had 20 mins to spare

got rejected the next day

idk what they are expecting, i got rejected as well

[craggy bridge]

🥲

[near grove]

i got 6/13 and 4/15 test cases lol

[craggy bridge]

How many questions was it

[near grove]

2

[craggy bridge]

2 questions for 62 mins??

[near grove]

yea

[craggy bridge]

That’s crazy if it’s not easy question

[near grove]

they are hard

[tidal nymph]

yeah they werent

cant remember my score but after that i already knew i was getting rejected

[near grove]

i ended up with like 3 nested loops in one of my solutions and just knew it wasnt gonna happen lol

[craggy bridge]

I guess coz their Pay is really high that’s why their bar is also high

I guess I should just do it with failure in mind😅

[near grove]

yea idk how much they pay in london but it's probably like 2.5x as much as faang

their interview loop is insanely tough too, maybe it's best for my mental health that i got rejected lol

[craggy bridge]

Yeah it’s like 100k gbp base

[craggy bridge]

Yeah you dodged a bullet

[tidal nymph]

yeah im trying to think that getting rejected from bb was maybe the best for me cause i dont have the time to study for the system design interview and if i did and get rejected, that would be

[craggy bridge]

I will just assume the OA as an experience at this point not gon stress myself

[near grove]

Same

So much better to get rejected at round 1 instead of like round 4 when I've failed all my cw to study for it

💀

[near grove]

so yeah probably a little under 200k tc then

[tidal nymph]

and subsequently affecting your mental health even worst 💀

gonna go back to bioinf now

[near grove]

just finished guinea pigs

2 more to go

3 more

🙃

[tidal nymph]

im looking at a captive asian elephant's diet to prove they dont need external intake of vitamin c

[near grove]

lol

[mild bramble]

did you guys also get the REST api question to get the max debit and credit transfers for wise oa??

i can swear that i did this question before for another company oa

got 0 on the sql part

[cyan smelt]

i cant even do 2 meds in 1 hour

[near grove]

lmfao

[near grove]

mine was getting weather data from the api

the sql one was like getting the bank accounts with the top 3 highest amount of money transferred or something

[mild bramble]

ooooof

i think it was the same then

within month of June

[near grove]

yea

same one

[mild bramble]

haha damn

[near grove]

i wasted 15 minutes trying to figure out why my query wasnt working and then i realised i had used count() instead of sum()

[mild bramble]

i left 30 mins for the sql part to be able to look things up

ended up wasting 30 mins

[mild bramble]

I have system design for an intern role 🛌

and i have only 10 days to get ready

[ocean hemlock]

[tidal nymph]

MS is laying off a lot of people ... it's on the news

[ocean hemlock]

have people done palantir karat interview?

how was that

[craggy bridge]

Has anyone heard back from goldman after OA new analyst london?

[near grove]

nope

i dont think anyone has heard back

[craggy bridge]

You applied?

Also I heard you have less chances if you did only the programming and not programming + maths test

Is that valid?

[ocean hemlock]

applied 11 sep, did hackerrank 17 sep

havent heard back

[silk mango]

you applied to london role?

[ocean hemlock]

if its just for swe grad then makes no difference

[ocean hemlock]

yes

i know they have given out invites for final round (superday) for intern

[silk mango]

oh is this international as in international students in US or students outside of US lmao

[ocean hemlock]

but idk anyone that applied grad thats heard back after oa

[ocean hemlock]

i live in the UK so idk, guess everyone just non-US lol

btw ppl who applied goldman, login to your application portal and check the status of your application

has it changed?

[craggy bridge]

Ohh ok thanks

[craggy bridge]

Nothing yet it’s still “current status is hackerank completed”

[ocean hemlock]

bruh..

my status is "Application Declined" but I never got a rejection email or anything

[craggy bridge]

Are you serious

London location

?

[ocean hemlock]

the only emails i got from them was (1) thanks for applying (2) complete technical assessment (3) thanks for taking technical assessment

[ocean hemlock]

yep

im so confused(?)

i got intern offer last year and declined it, but surely it cant be cos of that..

[craggy bridge]

But that’s strange you did internship with them

[ocean hemlock]

didnt intern, got intern offer didnt accept

[craggy bridge]

Probably they’re getting back at you for declining, they being petty then

How was your OA

[ocean hemlock]

oa was fine, didnt have any problems with it

[ocean hemlock]

but like not even a rejection email?

if i didnt login to my portal, i never would have even known

if its the petty case then thats p annoying

[craggy bridge]

Shit is fked up

[near grove]

mine also says hackerrank completed

[craggy bridge]

How long have you been waiting after OA

?

[near grove]

i did it on otcober 22nd

[craggy bridge]

Ohh that’s pretty much similar to mine

We both on the waiting game then

[ocean hemlock]

bruh thats acc kinda sad

like at least let me interview or sth, or send a formal rejection :(

[craggy bridge]

It’s crazy out there, Microsoft and Apple does that a lot. You have to login to see your status

How about Bloomberg London, has anyone done phone screen of recent? Coz I applied 3days ago hoping for phone screen at least🙏🏾

[near grove]

yea i failed the phone on tuesday

[ocean hemlock]

i had my 2nd round yday, got rejec today

sad cos i passed 2nd round for intern last year

[ocean hemlock]

https://tenor.com/view/hug-love-peace-gif-26159557

[tidal nymph]

did bb on monday, gave working solution, did the extension, talk about time complexity which were all correct

got rejected

[near grove]

🫠

[craggy bridge]

Sorry to hear buddy, but I have a question how long did it take you to hear back from them for phone screen after applying?

[near grove]

8 days

And then the phone was scheduled for 2 weeks later

[wintry agate]

Has anyone done a final at Amazon London for 2023? If so, is format 1x30 or 3x60?

Got full test cases on the OA, but unsure how final is decided

[near grove]

you only get 1x30 if you are a top performer on both oa's

i believe it's 2x60 otherwise

[wintry agate]

Ah okay, can only hope for the best then. Did you do it?

How long after OA2 did you get an email to schedule your final?

[near grove]

i only just got my oa2. havent done it yet

got all test cases on the hackerrank as well

amazon is freezing hiring so i dont know if we will progress

[pine lantern]

do you guys normally apply without referral?

[craggy bridge]

Ohh ok thanks

[craggy bridge]

I just did my oa2 today hoping for the best😮‍💨

[wintry agate]

Nice, GL to us lol

I applied last year and had to wait like 5 months for final schedule email

[craggy bridge]

I thought that was just for the US wow🥲

[wintry agate]

So hopefully it isnt as bad this year

[craggy bridge]

5 months?? That’s crazy… I would legit forgotten abt it

[wintry agate]

Yeah I did until I got the email haha

[ocean hemlock]

stripe just laid off like 10/13% no?

so i would guess not

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/03/stripe-plans-to-lay-off-14percent-of-workers.html

14% correction*

[hot robin]

How long after oa1 you got the oa2? It's already been two weeks for me and I didn't get it 😛, although I passed all test cases for the first

Also guys anyone with palantir intern hackerrank oa 2/3 and heard back?

[earnest dune]

I did OA1 3 days ago and got the the OA2 email 1 hour after, I think it is not usual to take more then two weeks

Did OA2 yesterday and still hoping for the best taking into account the freezing 😦

[near grove]

i got oa2 1 day after oa1

gonna do it right now

[earnest dune]

good luck brother

[craggy bridge]

I got it within a day after oa1

[craggy bridge]

Good luck

[wintry agate]

Pretty sure OA2 is automated

Well, after you get OA1 anyway

Maybe email them and ask

[craggy bridge]

Yeah exactly

I think you should email them

I have a question though

I have never seen anyone who applied to the EMEA locations that got the 1x30mins

Even after they did well

[near grove]

i saw someone on reddit get it in london

last year

[craggy bridge]

But I think this year things changed

[near grove]

it's pretty rare tho, you need to ace oa2 as well which is hard cause of amazon's crazy leadership principles

[craggy bridge]

I guess it’s now 2x60

[craggy bridge]

I wish I can get it😅…. Even if the final comes after 6months

[earnest dune]

the 2x60 are in the same day or seperate?

[near grove]

same day

[earnest dune]

one after another?

[craggy bridge]

Yea

[earnest dune]

and you usually need the 60min?

[craggy bridge]

Not necessarily I guess

You might finish early

[earnest dune]

i feel like or i do it very fast or i just dont do it at all

[near grove]

depends how long u take for the coding

theres behavioural qs at the start

[earnest dune]

oh ok

[near grove]

for internship it was 2x45 with 15 mins of behavioural and 30 min of coding

[earnest dune]

thought those were seperate

i just hope to get there

xD

best case scenario would be get one of the top 40 amazon questions

have all of them locked in haha

or a blind 75 one

but maybe i am dreaming too high

where are you guys applying to?

[near grove]

london

[earnest dune]

i had a referral for london but never got them email to confirm it

and im not even sure to where the current process im doing is for

but i think it is luxembourg

[hot robin]

Okey guys thanks for letting me know, I will send them an email. Maybe it is affected because I did the OA after 7 days and not within 5

[near grove]

just finished oa 2

now let's hope they actually hire people this year

[hot robin]

Hope so, because in general things are not looking great https://siepr.stanford.edu/publications/policy-brief/recession-graduates-long-lasting-effects-unlucky-draw

[hot robin]

Good luck 🤞 btw

[near grove]

[earnest dune]

ok that sad

[cosmic gazelle]

g as in google mate?

[glass crystal]

Yeah rejected recently without referral

[near grove]

looks like apple evolve has opened for london

[craggy bridge]

Have you applied?

[near grove]

yeah

[ocean hemlock]

is the evolve program apple grad swe program?

or do they have an actual grad swe role, different from evolve?

[ocean hemlock]

trying to apple for evolve but they need an apple id?

and apple id setup process jsut keeps saying cant process request even tho verif code is correct

[near grove]

yea apple needs apple id for everything

[ocean hemlock]

lol how am i meant to apply then

if their own services wont let me make an apple id

[tidal nymph]

i guess here is the advantage of owning apple product xD

[ocean hemlock]

what does this even meann, theres no sound or popups

bruh this is why Apple <<<< everything else

[near grove]

lol

[ocean hemlock]

ight just gonna try again later today

ppl who have applied, what was the app process?

[near grove]

just attach a resume and click submit basically

very very fast

[tidal nymph]

fastest ever

you have to fill in some details about uni and all, but v fast

[ocean hemlock]

ah guessing they screen heavily for cv then

[near grove]

everything was auto filled by the resume so even faster

[tidal nymph]

oh yeah i accidentally used the "enter details manually" button lol

[craggy bridge]

But the problem is Apple like takes forever to get back to people

And referral doesn’t really work for Apple

[tidal nymph]

is apple laying off people?

[finite bay]

lol happened to me as well, just logged in again and it gave me the popup on my mac

their system be buggin

[ocean hemlock]

managed to send off apple evolve app

anyone heard back/know what the process is?

[tawdry field]

any international students here in the US?

[near grove]

Have any of the uk guys here heard back from C1 after the video interview?

I did it back in september

[proven wedge]

Does anyone know which IT job in germany is the easiest to get into?

[zinc mica]

got rejected from step yesterday, got swe intern oa around 10 days ago

[barren flume]

Kinda the same

I think they're waiting for project match to start

Discussion around here says late nov, early dec

But idk

[zinc mica]

I got it late bcs I had to wait a month. Originally, London was not among the offices I applied to

[finite bay]

how was the OA i got mine a couple days back

ez or standard lc mediums

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-jake-the-dog-adventure-time-idunno-idk-gif-5265736

[zinc mica]

easy I believe

[outer abyss]

Does duolingo sponsor? They rejected me from the get go and i havent seen any of my intl friends working there

[cyan smelt]

search duolingo h1b and you will have your answer

looks like they are very selective and only hire from the absolute top schools

[ocean hemlock]

anyone applied to BNY mellon

or know anyone that has

[craggy bridge]

Wtf goldman rejected me after perfect OA, I just checked the job portal it says app declined

[ocean hemlock]

yep same thing happened to me

did you get a rejection email?

[craggy bridge]

Nah

I just checked the portal and saw it

When are you graduating?

[near grove]

Me too

Don't think they're hiring

[craggy bridge]

Maybe it has to do with when we are graduating

I am graduating June, 2023

And the job supposedly starts July

Maybe they want people that graduates early

[sage goblet]

They are on a hiring freeze.

[craggy bridge]

But that should not warrant rejection, shouldn’t they just pause the applications?🤔

[tidal nymph]

i think they would just reject instead of pausing it

[craggy bridge]

That’s weird, it would have been more logical if they just close the application.

Instead of making applicants go through the process and end up being rejected

Nonetheless, who have done the assessment for HRT london?

[near grove]

most people who applied will probably have a job by the time hiring opens again so there's no point in keeping the applications

[ocean hemlock]

im fine with the rejection, but at least make it uniform no

and also send a rejection email so people know

[tidal nymph]

i guess because their initial plan was to hire more people, and some got through the stages earlier, and maybe they had to reduce head counts during the last few weeks, they just reject the rest? 😦

idk

weird times rn

[near grove]

Yea I wouldn't even have known I was rejected if no one mentioned it here lol

[ocean hemlock]

pain cos i applied p early as well

[tidal nymph]

around when did you apply?

aug?

[ocean hemlock]

early sep

i thought that was early lol

[tidal nymph]

idk when it opened but i thought it would open mid august around when the internship ends

[ocean hemlock]

ah okay

[craggy bridge]

When was your hackerank completed ?

[tidal nymph]

Just my thoughts tho tbh, cause it’s like this for jpmc, a week before internship ended, they asked if anyone among the interns wanted to join full time. Then when it ended, they opened the full time apps

but like i said, it's a weird time rn :)))

im pretty sure you applied early as well

just messed up economy rn

[ocean hemlock]

yeah facts

https://tenor.com/view/good-luck-good-luck-gif-20034388

*our favour

[left trench]

They rejected me too after a perfect OA

[slow trail]

does anyone know if reneging could bring issues with CPT for next summer or future OPT?

[golden sphinx]

any gotten offer from uber? plz reach out 🙂 we have 3 people with offers. we are lost.

[iron root]

just got spanked by expedia OA 🤣

got given Bank Transactions and Maximum Score HackerRank questions if that helps anyone - got some test cases in maximum score couldn't understand how i didn't more test cases passed for it tbh frustrating one

[silk mango]

they dont sponsor for US?

[silk mango]

no it shouldnt since its not company dependent

[wintry agate]

Where's everyone looking for openings in the UK?

I've exhausted my options on Linkedin/Indeed/etc.

[near grove]

gradcracker

[ocean hemlock]

they have london/uk postings

[iron root]

could try Bright Network

[tidal nymph]

anyone did the Morgan Stanley phone interview?

[iron root]

What was OA like?

[tidal nymph]

i didnt have OA

it's the phone interview 45min

i just applied, did some online maths type of test @iron root

[near grove]

has anyone in the uk heard back from cisco?

they let me apply early but have ghosted me for 2 months

😳

lol

i applied on september 16th and its just been silence since then

nah

lol

yeah i havent seen anyone hear back yet

[mild bramble]

got an offer from expedia for an internship

deadline before asking them to extend it: 14-11 (7 days) deadline after extension: 21-11

I know I messed up on an easy question and they told me about it in the feedback

Idk if I should accept it and carry on with bloomberg (highly unlikely chance of success) or just wait it out

[mild bramble]

true but not a good thing to do

i dont want to get black listed

[mild bramble]

exactly

Also I'm so afraid that they might cancel the offer anyway for any random reason

Since I asked for a deadline extension I might seem uninterested or something

[iron root]

once you are past grad/junior levels, would you still have to do leetcode style interviews?

fair, sick of these hackerranks so annoying - my fault for not having time to prepare but sometimes just feel a bit pointless

i already got an offer from previous internship thats good as well so no motivation to study LC's

even though could get higher salary with it

[ocean hemlock]

nope

[iron root]

FactSet

Good pay tbf but thinking of trying prop trading as friends dad can possibly get me into it - risky though

[final pivot]

Hey congrats! Can you share where this role locates and when your interview was? Thanks.

[mild bramble]

Thank you
Interview was last week Tuesday. Location: London

What happened to your Basedman name

[final pivot]

Cool, we have close dates but I’m located in the US. Still waiting for results.

[mild bramble]

I see. Wishing u good luck

Sad

[final pivot]

Thanks!

[near grove]

don't think u have to do the code signal for visa tho?

i got an email right after getting it saying it was a mistake and just to do the hackerrank

[near grove]

Dk then

That's weird

Oh I guess internship is different then

Mine is swe and testing new grad

Jpmc recruiter tells me applications are still being reviewed for ng btw

@ everyone who was asking about jpmc here

Probably the same

[craggy bridge]

How long does it take on average to hear back from Bloomberg London after submitting application

I guess I applied late coz it’s been over a week now nothing yet

[near grove]

took 8 days for me but I applied as soon as it opened

[ocean hemlock]

this lowkey smells like 🧢 to me aha

[craggy bridge]

Ohh ok thanks for the response

[glad wharf]

Do you know what the new grad TC is?

[cunning umbra]

Took me 2 weeks

So fast these days

[iron root]

45k

[ocean hemlock]

Ppl who applied to visa how long did it take to hear back

[mild bramble]

For me it took around 2 weeks (internship)

[craggy bridge]

Goldman Sachs or JPMC who pays more for new grad?

[ocean hemlock]

afaik goldman

[craggy bridge]

That makes sense then cos I saw it somewhere that jpmc pays like 35k base for new grad and I couldn’t believe it like that’s way too low

[near grove]

Roughly the same base (55k) but much higher bonus pretty sure

For goldman

35k sounds like bournemouth or glasgow

[craggy bridge]

Ohh ok

[near grove]

Stole this info from @tidal nymph

[tidal nymph]

yeah so jpmc and goldman have same base salary but bonus are higher in goldman, downside are working hours for goldman (9am-10pm) while jpmc is like 9-6:30pm

[craggy bridge]

Can you say the bonuses are somehow comparable or it’s way too different if you compare

[near grove]

It's like 2-3x higher at goldman

[craggy bridge]

Shit😅

[near grove]

I would still choose jpmc over goldman I don't think it's worth it

[craggy bridge]

Why?

[near grove]

Because goldman has really bad working hours

You will be earning less per hour at goldman than jpmc

[tidal nymph]

yeah if you want a better life, choose jpmc, if you want more money, choose golman

xD

[craggy bridge]

But are you serious about 9am -10pm that can’t be real that’s slavery🙁

[tidal nymph]

well my friend did that

i have a living proof

oh him and the other swe

[craggy bridge]

My friend works there at their London office he never really complained about the working hours

He is only concerned about the outdated tech

And swe are like second hand employees at the company

They are viewed somehow

[near grove]

Yea cause swe's don't make money at these companies

[tidal nymph]

well i guess it depends which team you are in? all i know was my friend's other swe friends were leaving quite late as well

getting drinks every other night very late after work as well haha

tried to sneak into those drink get together at goldman xD

[craggy bridge]

Tbh, I used to think swe working at Investment banks are somehow rich but not until I saw how much they are paid

[tidal nymph]

It does pay higher than non faang companies tho

[near grove]

I meant they don't make money for the company

They get paid a lot

They even make more than some faang, goldman pays more than amazon

[craggy bridge]

Yeah I noticed that in the Uk the average salary for entry level swe is 35k which is 🥲

[tidal nymph]

also

[craggy bridge]

How do they survive especially in London

[tidal nymph]

morgan stanley pays 70k base

[near grove]

Tf u mean how do they survive lol

35k is plenty to live in london if you don't live alone

[craggy bridge]

Really?? Pays more than Amazon

[near grove]

Yeah Amazon is 49k base and 30k stocks over 4 years

[tidal nymph]

i think amazon is 58k base?

but your salary goes down in amazon if you dont perform well

[near grove]

49k is the standard offer

There was a guy here who got 50k and 30k stock a couple months ago

[tidal nymph]

with taxes, council tax, bills

transport

might be tight tbh

[near grove]

If you can't live on 2k net a month you are doing something wrong

[tidal nymph]

fresh grad?

[near grove]

Yeah

[craggy bridge]

Exactly what I thought

Its gonna be tight

[tidal nymph]

i mean maybe for me it's little cause i need to pay back student debt >:)))

[near grove]

The median salary in london is like 42k and lots of families live on less

Making nearly that amount as a fresh grad is amazing

[near grove]

yea that sucks lol

[craggy bridge]

Sigh, That’s pretty much low compared to it’s other competitors like Meta even Bloomberg pays more than this. But I understand it’s pretty much a decent start salary for a new grad

[near grove]

i have 20k in debt but ill be paying back like £80 a month

[tidal nymph]

lucky ;-;

[craggy bridge]

Has anyone proceeded to the next round of HRT London location after codesignal here?

[near grove]

how long did it take for them to send you the oa

[craggy bridge]

Like 2days

[near grove]

ok

i applied yesterday

maybe yeah

in a few years

[tidal nymph]

idk how easy that would be at this stage rn

[near grove]

it's easy if you get into a big-n

transfer on L1 visa

after working there for a year

g zurich would be nice

very high col tho

i've heard zurich is a very boring city

food prices is the main one i always hear people talk about

seems like the kinda place i'd go to chill at age 40 with my family

[tidal nymph]

I dont want to look more into these, my mental health cannot handle this economy :)))

[hot robin]

Does palantir ghost or send rejections?

[tidal nymph]

from experience, if you didnt pass, they will send rejection after 1-2 days

[near grove]

not sure either of you will be hearing back from amazon any time soon

their turnover rate is so high that they can't stay frozen for long lol

[steady yew]

international graduating in less than two months with an offer from a company thats shitting itself to obilivion as we speak

should i kms? y/n

[cunning umbra]

Hey guys

Are we allowed to receive sign on bonus and relocation assistance before our EAD start date?

[cyan smelt]

ask your DSO

normally it isn't a problem but still ask your dso

[ocean hemlock]

no, just leetcode and spam applications

[iron root]

is there anywhere to prep actual hackerrank problems rather than LC's?

[ocean hemlock]

imo no

[finite bay]

U can improve your understanding of the fundamentals I think that really helped me tbh. Or there is cracking the coding interview and elements of programming interviews. I guess another alternative would be algoexpert. Kinda depends on your learning style and which one u find better

[ocean hemlock]

tbh a lot of hackerrank problems are just lc style but with more words

like you can often see the similarities, lc is more cut and dry whereas hackerrank there is an eleement of having to understand what the question is asking

[finite bay]

Ye def this

haha came to say this too

[near grove]

Got rejected from ensoft today but haven't heard from main Cisco yet

[mild bramble]

oh same

but i didnt apply to main cisco

[ocean hemlock]

has anyone done a palantir karat interview or karat "redo" interview?

[steady yew]

yes

both

[finite bay]

ye and no i didn't do the redo cause i was a bozo

[ocean hemlock]

did you pass after redo? and you got a different set of qs right

were they easier or harder than your first interview?

[steady yew]

idk i havent heard back

[ocean hemlock]

so u passed first round right?

[steady yew]

diff qs

[finite bay]

no i had the chance to redo and i didn't so i fumbled the whole thing

i was a complete interview noob and an actual bozo

[ocean hemlock]

yall mind saying the type of qs u got? for the 45 min lc-style section?

[finite bay]

graphs seem to be their favourite

[ocean hemlock]

was your interview qs from lc tagged?

[steady yew]

it was just lc meds for me

i did 2/3 on both

havent heard back

[finite bay]

i think one may have been. but it was only one question because i remember doing one really easily and then i fumbled the rest

def medium difficulty

[steady yew]

first karat

[finite bay]

i was able to attempt them lol, didn't get any hards where i was completely stuck

[steady yew]

was one one easy two meds i think

second karat two meds

[ocean hemlock]

alright thanks both!

[ocean hemlock]

resume rejected from visa w/ faang on resume 🥲

[tidal nymph]

which faang if i may ask?

[ocean hemlock]

amazon

https://tenor.com/view/stephen-a-smith-mad-shouting-scream-angry-gif-16716770

[tidal nymph]

[ocean hemlock]

didn't get return

but i enjoyed my team/ my project and the culture in general

[tidal nymph]

i think amazon is big enough to sponsor visa :/

i think visa should be able to sponsor

but i heard credit suisse doesnt so idk

[near grove]

When did you apply? They have closed apps now I think

Maybe u got in too late

[ocean hemlock]

I applied this Tuesday

[ocean hemlock]

I was thinking maybe this

But it says the posting went live like Oct 27? So I thought it wasn't too long since

[near grove]

Oh idk then

The one I applied to is closed but I applied ages ago

Probably not a resume issue cause I got in with basically nothing on mine

[ocean hemlock]

Got to third round last year (intern), got to second round this year (grad)

[ocean hemlock]

Any1 gotten invite to wise final round (swe grad)?

[near grove]

no, did you get it?

i did the hirevue last weekend but havent got a response yet

[near grove]

^

[barren flume]

wdym a wrong email?

[ocean hemlock]

I did my hirevue 1 Nov but haven't heard back yet

I emailed them on the 8 Nov and they responded with this

Thanks for taking the time to complete the HireVue interview we sent you!

It’s taking us a bit longer than expected to get back to you regarding the results, so we wanted to apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you for your patience so far! As soon as we are ready, we will get back to you.

[near grove]

Ah ok I did mine on 5 nov

[half bloom]

anyone do bloomberg technical 40-60m first phone interview for london swe intern?

[near grove]

Some of us here did it for new grad

Probably quite similar

[half bloom]

what was the difficulty of the problem?

[near grove]

Lc medium dp

They are usually tagged as well so if you can do the tagged mediums you should be good

[hot robin]

you got 1 or 2 qs?

[near grove]

1

[hot robin]

do they ask any generic questions about OOP or whatever, or they are going straight to the problem?

[near grove]

Nah it was just 20 mins of the guy talking about his work and then the problem

[hot robin]

alright, thanks a lot

btw is anyone here having interviews with google zurich swe intern?

[ocean hemlock]

Btw my rejec from visa was a mistake

They sent an email today saying their platform was buggy

[ocean hemlock]

Re: this

[near grove]

Happened to me last month lol

[ocean hemlock]

What rounds do visa have?

[craggy bridge]

For those wondering why Goldman declined their application

For new grad, I just got response position were filled early

[near grove]

[teal furnace]

If anyone has applied to visa are you able to email your recruiter after doing the final round?

[ocean hemlock]

Yeah thought this was the reason

[near grove]

Anyone done mastercard pymetrics digital interview?

Wondering what questions they ask

I just got the inv

Oh nah not that one

The pymetrics video interview

It's the stage after that

Aight

[tidal cobalt]

Location?

[craggy bridge]

Uk

[hot robin]

Absolutely no one that's why I am asking, have they started or we are doomed haha

[cosmic gazelle]

anyone heard from two sigma yet lol

for UK

[mystic crystal]

I did a phone interview but got rejected

[near grove]

Sounds like they may be getting cancelled

@tidal nymph had one but it got cancelled and unsure if they will reschedule

Oh intern is probably still going ahead yeah

[tidal nymph]

they rescheduled mine for monday lol

[near grove]

Oh nice

[tidal nymph]

technical i think

[tidal nymph]

idk

i havent done the interview yet, so i cant tell you if i dont know either

yeah but idk how the interview will be. I just did some research on glassdoor and it says it's both technical and behavourial

did you try to look online what it will be for your telephone interview?

im applying for grad, so the process might be different as well

i think it's best if you look online as well

[finite bay]

nah

[ocean hemlock]

I also got invite, have you done it?

[near grove]

No

I'm doing it tonight

[craggy bridge]

When did you apply and when did you get the invite?

I applied 2 weeks ago haven’t received anything

[near grove]

23 october and I got it on 11 november

[craggy bridge]

Ohh ok, not too late then

Thanks

[edgy crescent]

i have 2 years experience as SWE at a foreign company.
i wrote it down on my resume but i wonder if recruiters are not gonna give as much credit as working at a US company?

[normal dune]

if your work was impactful and it's related to the job you're applying for then probably yes.

[edgy crescent]

Yes as in it's the same as the US jobs?

*or same value

[near grove]

Yes

[edgy crescent]

kk sweet ty

[near grove]

Yes

[ocean hemlock]

has anyone done publicis sapient domain interview, this is after behavioural round (tech new grad)?

[polar bough]

can i take 12 credits in school and do full time remote cpt for the spring

how do you guys get around working for full time in person fall/spring internship while maintaining valid f1 status

my advisor said i cannot just take online classes at my school and leave for in person internship

but can i just take a sem off/study at a community college during that time

hey im in the exact same situation, and i was also thinking of this option (taking ft classes at a cc near workplace). but u worked ft 9-5? then how did u have time to attend in person classes at cc?

did u take night classes or sth

[teal furnace]

Anyone heard back from Visa UK

[ocean hemlock]

nope, havent gotten oa either

but i applied 8 nov so quite recently

[near grove]

yea i got an email a few days ago telling me i will be moving to the digital interview "within the next 2 weeks"

[amber agate]

How did it go

My school wont allow full time cpt during fall either :/

Im devastated

[polar bough]

yeah bru

same here

im so sad ;((

immigration advisor straight up declined cpt request

im begging my department to help

my school sucks cuz no co op

[autumn linden]

@amber agate damn i forgot we had convo lol

im working FT now extending STEM while f-1 expired

[half bloom]

[tidal nymph]

does anyone know if bb uk reached headcount?

[ocean hemlock]

for intern or grad?

for grad i dont think so, have a friend doing final this thurs

for intern not sure

[barren flume]

Probably not, but I wouldn't consider myself nowhere near ready for an interview if I can't write down a Node class in a language I'm familiar with

[finite bay]

u mean how to make a linked list?

it is possible they will ask that, for the two final interviews i have had this year they were OOP design

well they kinda did in one but it was part of a wider system.

so i created a DS and then coded another part of the system

all OOP design and then just talking throughout

no

1 of them i even got system design

4 technical questions lc mediums and 2 system design

[near grove]

usually they will give you the code to save time

but you might be asked to explain how to implement it before they do

[slate kernel]

did you hear back yet on 2/3?

[steady yew]

rejected @slate kernel

[slate kernel]

my chances might be lower then haha unless I do 3/3 next

[finite bay]

in most interviews tho bro u wont have to implement them, unless, the whole interview question is to implement the data structure

one that just came to mind is implementing a trie

[ocean hemlock]

this lowkey smells like palantir

but in general knowing how to implement any DS you can use is a given

as in interviewers would expect you to be able to implement them + its good knowledge even if they dont ask

better to be safe than sorry

[midnight field]

theyre good questions

just do them

[ocean hemlock]

^^

[finite bay]

[ocean hemlock]

anyone heard back from visa after initial app?
or wise for final round invite?

anyone interviewed at Go City?

i just had the shortest phone interview of my life

4 minutes lmfao

and the next stage is straight to the final round(actually i was wrong theres an oa first)

[wintry agate]

The phone interview was just general questions, nothing tech related right? I had it, recruiter(?) said they'll email next week (I had my interview last week) about next steps

[near grove]

yeah, just asked me what i know about the company and a couple behaviourals

she interrupted me 20 seconds into my answer about the company and said "wow its clear you've done a lot of research" and moved to the next q, i was just thinking mf i was gonna keep talking for like another min or two

[wintry agate]

lol yeah, I gave like a 2 sentence response, super short interview, if you can call it that.

[timid trench]

what are the odds that a us citizen can get something international?

[narrow plover]

Which country do u want to work in

[ocean hemlock]

Nope (for JPM grad)

I think someone sent sth where they said they would only get back after the deadline

Was for grad tho

[near grove]

this is all we know

[tidal nymph]

anyone heard back from morgan stanley? (london)

heard anything from them since then?

these companies need to define "soon"

[near grove]

wise be like "we will get back to you within a week"

13 days later:

[tidal nymph]

one of my application from 2020 was back into "under consideration" for amazon

meanwhile i never got oa2 for amazon ahaha

[near grove]

gonna be a while

they are continuing layoffs into next year

[tidal nymph]

i mean the chancellor said recession is well indeed here in the uk and wont get any better till possibly 2024

[near grove]

he's also a tory so who knows

[tidal nymph]

country cursed by them

[near grove]

could be the first time they've ever said somrthing right

[tidal nymph]

@near grove masters ?

be a '24 grad instead

[near grove]

no point if I get an offer

not really any way to know if 2024 will be better and I'd feel like a fucking idiot if I declined an offer and then didn't get anything better in 2024

I thought oa2 was automatic after completing oa1, or am I wrong?🤔

[ocean hemlock]

4 oct

did sjt on 4 oct as well, for morgan stanley grad

[tidal nymph]

yeah but i never got it

didnt bother emailing them about it

[tidal nymph]

interesting

i applied on the 25th sept

you were like a week ish after me

[ocean hemlock]

icl i think if morgan stnaley were doing anything that time has passed aha

[near grove]

Think they stopped cause of the freeze

[zinc mica]

anyone heard back from google?

[zinc mica]

Oh I see, it's been ~2 weeks for me since the oa

for grad?

uk?

[finite bay]

ye from levels fyi

[ocean hemlock]

well either you or levels fyi must be smoking some heavy stuff

[finite bay]

Amazon etc seem to be like 90-120

[ocean hemlock]

i know people with offers in those companies

and its not those figures lol

hfts grad is close ish

no major bank or bulge bracket pays 100k tc grad

in the uk at least

highest ive heard was goldman tc of 86k

jp is lower

[finite bay]

yeye nah i can agree

[ocean hemlock]

morgan base is 70k iirc

[finite bay]

jp is way lower

[ocean hemlock]

idk what bonus is

and even google swe grad isnt 100k tc

their base is like 70?

[finite bay]

ye its the bonuses which have put the ones for banks higher from what i have seen

their base is like 50-60

[ocean hemlock]

levels is only useful for us

[finite bay]

nah u can select london and get it in GBP

[ocean hemlock]

none of those sites are actually very reliable for uk salaries

changing the currency doesnt make it more reliable 🤣

[finite bay]

FANG, hft etc etc

then u get HFT's and people who clearly have advanced degrees

more HFT's and advanced degrees

no cap

i never heard of them

🤷‍♂️

[near grove]

palantir is like 100k base

jpmc 55k

morgan stanley 70k

[finite bay]

i saw one for jpmc for like 30-40k

https://tenor.com/view/dies-cat-dead-died-gif-13827091

[near grove]

probably glasgow or bournemouth

[finite bay]

i dunno what happened with that guy

either he got no bonus

or hes lying

scrolling though for ages literally u have the high end and then pages and pages of 90-100ks

[near grove]

all those 130k+ ish new grads at faang have competing offers

[finite bay]

ong this sort on this site does not work

[finite bay]

fr ong they must do

[near grove]

because amazon and meta are both below 100k

google is probably around 100k

[finite bay]

there are high ones for amazon and meta also, but like u said they must also have competing offers

i think it also depends on experience

[near grove]

amazon is 49k base and 30k stock over 4 years with no competing

not sure about sign on

[finite bay]

if u have done a bunch of internships then u can go in at a higher level

so these grad jobs are like higher than grad jobs lol

[near grove]

meta i believe is 60k base. not sure about stock

[finite bay]

ye they gotta have like 30k stock on top of that cause i see a bunch of 90-100ks

not sure id want the stock tho

meta moment

zuck moment

if u just go on the london page then it should just all be in gbp

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-jake-the-dog-adventure-time-idunno-idk-gif-5265736

FTX employees when SBF only had 655k and not 5.5 billion

[ocean hemlock]

Anyone apply NatWest grad?

[near grove]

I did but was too busy to do the video interview and missed the deadline

💀

[ocean hemlock]

They sent me this. I was strongly aligned for sjt but all my numerical/logical etc was average

So we'll see lol

[near grove]

crazy that they say you passed but can't guarantee you'll get to the next stage

[ocean hemlock]

Nah it's prolly cos they have a passing level

And then from that pool they pick who they want in ac

Otherwise they'd need a super high pass level which not enough people might even make

At least that's what i think

[north spear]

Anyone did their interview with Morgan Stanley(Montreal) for Technology analyst?

[tidal nymph]

FT?

i did mine for london office a week ago

[north spear]

Can you guide me with some tips?

Nope, full time graduate program

[tidal nymph]

i only did phone interview so far

havent heard back from them yet 😦

@marsh oasis did you hear back?

i think it will be the same as for grad

or maybe on step less

do you hear back the next day if you failed?

ic ic

[near grove]

Yea but it's pretty mean to tell you you passed and then maybe reject you anyway

I would just prefer if they didn't tell me anything and then reject if I wasn't selected

[ocean hemlock]

Yeah I see your point

Oh well 😂

[near grove]

did you hear back from wise yet btw?

[ocean hemlock]

Nope, maybe we'll hear back this week

[near grove]

[ocean hemlock]

If u hear back I'll msg on here

🤝🏾

[timid trench]

tbh anywhere or whereever is easiest

[near grove]

germany has a pretty easy visa process but if you're a new grad i don't think they will do it

pretty sure they are the easiest, cause there's not really sponsorship. you just need a job offer and take it to your local embassy

[brittle oyster]

Anyone here from Dublin, Ireland? I have some doubts about University of College Dublin.

[shut frigate]

uhh not really. usually you just need a job offer that sponsors visa and they'll take care of the paperwork

the only exception is switzerland where they need 3+ YOE (my gooble zurich dream )

[near grove]

Yeah but will companies give an offer to an international new grad instead of just taking one of the thousands of locals is the main question

Obviously if you're going for faang it probably doesn't matter

[shut frigate]

yes, its gonna be competitive but totally possible

even with smaller companies which have like 300 employees, you just gotta convince them you're worth investing in

[near grove]

Also, I think u go to my uni

Lol

[shut frigate]

👀

[near grove]

Yeah I mean its definitely easier in Germany compared to other places with proper sponsorship

[tidal nymph]

did you hear from MS? im stressed

[cosmic gazelle]

ah no wonder they are rejecting everyone

has anyone heard from google london and amazon london lol for internships*

after OA?
