Nope

Pls can you share your experience with the assessment?
First oa is just a normal behavioural test and the second one iirc was 1 leetcode-style question and then one question where you had to make a form in react

1000~1500, I think

I've seen some online and it varies a lot, I've seen many for about 4K, but I feel that that's disproportionate for London
strong peak
per month

Also, do you guys recommend/ avoid particular neighborhoods? There are so many so it is kinda hard to choose
hidden wind
I have 2 friends living in London, one is 1300, another is 1500
Downtown?
near grove
1.5k can get you a shithole in zone 2
but there is zero chance of a 1 bed for 1k without going way way out
i would just recommend sharing, the vast majority of people who go to london do that
strong peak

Downtown?
bruh said downtown 🤣
no offence just dont think ldn can even be categories as an "up" and "down" part
saying zone wise or area wise makes more sense
hidden wind
I'm not living there so don't know the zones yet. I was thinking of Soho, Marylebone, Mayfair, Kensington, Chelsea, and so as downtown
hidden wind
but there is zero chance of a 1 bed for 1k without going way way out
So 4k was definitely a real price💀💀
near grove
yes absolutely
that's expensive even for zone 1 but it's not unbelievable
those areas are all zone 1 so will probably be out of your budget
hidden wind
Damn, that is why we can never have nice things
ocean hemlock
well you can but just need to be stacked aha
near grove
only rich people or people in a 10 person flat live in zone 1 lol
top bracket is 45%
at 150k+
hidden wind
Damn, now I regreat withdrawing hrt
hidden wind
top bracket is 45%
Similar to Spain then
I legit don't understand why salaries in Europe are 30-60% lower than in the U.S. and are still taxed higher after all.
near grove
still not really worth it unless ur at hft making bank
hidden wind
RSU are taxed as in the US? I think Ive read that somewhere
Is it worth it tho?
Ive always lived in centric places so I'm kinda having dilemma here
Yeah, having my own would be ideal, I've shared my whole uni years
near grove
Yes rsus are taxed
near grove
It's the same tax as your salary
You're taxed on your overall income
I'll prob just share in z1-2 after uni
Don't think I'll be making enough to justify the cost of living alone lol
hidden wind
It's the same tax as your salary
Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't be taxed the same only if you sell it immediately?
near grove
Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't be taxed the same only if you sell it ...
Yes, it's taxed when you sell
But its not like u pay the tax bracket that the rsu value is in
If you make 150k base somehow, then sell a 25k rsu that 25k is taxed 45% because you're in the 45% income bracket
With palantir u should not be worrying about affording a flat lol
hidden wind
And is there taxed reduction for long term investments (holding the stock for 1 year for example)?
hidden wind
Yep, I'm trying to figure out which location is better (London or NYC) for it
near grove
Nyc will almost certainly be better
hidden wind
200 - 240 USD
hidden wind
Nyc will almost certainly be better
You think so? Cuz i was leaning more towards London rn
hidden wind
I mean I want to take into account many factors, culture, quality of life, money, etc
near grove
Yeah looks about right for non returns
near grove
I mean I want to take into account many factors, culture, quality of life, money...
Culture: london
Quality of life: probably nyc with that salary
Money: nyc
More exit opportunities as well in nyc, if you're starting at 100k in london you won't get much of a raise by job hopping unless you go to hft
hidden wind
How would you guys see it if I start in London, to see how is it like, relocated to NYC later?
Ive read that palantir allow moving between offices easy for SWEs
hidden wind
Well I would need visa for both actually cuz, well Brexit
Ohhhh
I didn't think about that
Damn
Now I'm more hesitant
I had also Bloomberg but I've stopped interviewing after those
NYC only
near grove
i would have used palantir to nego bloomberg
people have got bb to 250-300k tc with competing offers and i dont think palantir lets u nego
hidden wind
I really like palantir tbh, maybe that's not positive for negotiations
Yeah, thats so weird
near grove
the standard offer is like 180k
before the pound crashed that wasnt too much higher than london
hidden wind
Is the Brexit affecting positively?
hidden wind
It is possible that you guys are seeing NYC better cuz you are already in the UK and know / lived the culture?
Or you think that is not a factor?
near grove
london is the best city in the world 😎
but if you want money, or you want to buy property or anything it's the wrong place to go
hidden wind
Didn't think about buying anything in London, i won't be able to afford it 😂😅
Does palantir have good exit opportunities to hft?
Or if you don't get into hft as ng it is significantly harder to ge into later on
near grove
the biggest barrier will be getting good enough to pass the interviews and oa's
palantir is probably on the same level as faang for going into hft, like it's not the best thing ever but it's not uncommon
hidden wind
Those OAs will be insane i imagine

3rd one i thought my solution was wank but it passed the 1 test case but it might get tle if they test on more

Wait what lol, there was only 1 test case?
wintry agate
Lol If I had known I'd have hard coded it
What was your approach for it?
Or is it cause you're up to date with Maths
near grove
visit every coordinate for each taxi and store them in two sets, take intersection of those sets and thats your intersecting coordinates
wintry agate
Oh yeah that was* the approach I was going to take
Well, I was going to use a set, store 1st coords taxi
and just check if the 2nd taxi visited coords that were in the set
But I thought that'd be too slow

Does Revolut sponsor interns?
i dont think so, at least not ppl from Asia
but thats also because NYC has highest tax
so NY pay is kind of inflated considering a significant portion of it isnt going into ur pocket

but thats also because NYC has highest tax
UK has even higher taxes
we're fucked both ways
higher taxes AND lower salaries

when you compare $110k in nyc vs £60k in london with the cost of living there is almost no difference, except a little more savings ig

the only issue with L1 is that you only keep it as long as you stay in the same company so you need to get a green card asap or find a company to sponsor h1b (which is harder) before you can change jobs

as far as i know from my own experience and my friends, you get considered for the first choice, if there is no space there, then they dont look at other locations and you get ghosted
im not sure about interns, but they ended for new grad i think... got some emails regarding the next steps last week

python
its like 400 lines rn
plus 700 lines for the syntax tree and 400 for the lexer 💀

it absolutely is
last year the course was in java

what uni are you at then
i dont think it's surprising, jp def does have target unis, but there was a lot of interns in ldn with me who were from romania, lebanon, morocco and all, and were all sponsored an intern visa to come to ldn
