Yeah lol
I think it was provided by meta though
i dont think the meta salary would even cover it fully
Hahaha at the end a meta intern makes
4K£ + 6k housing = nearly as much as hft in London 😂😂😂
The are charging me 9k per month for corporate housing in Soho
The housing in insane fr
wait seriously?
i would just find private flats at that point
you can get a room in zone 2 for 10% of that
Wait what?!? For 9k per month you can live in a luxurious apartment in anywhere you want.
The flat is nice tbh but i wouldn't do it if it would have to come out of my pocket
Who pays it? 😂
It is covered by relocation benefits
yeah you could get a beautiful high rise flat with like 4 bedrooms for that hahah
You get relocation as intern?
Oh ok. So the company must like you a lot or has too much money 😂😂😂
For how many months do they pay the apartment for you?
1-2 months
Ive heard that some finance companies fully cover housing and cabs to and from the office
Can you guys confirm?
Nop, tech
not sure but i do know that jp morgan doesnt even give you a work laptop
so i would be surprised if they covered all that lol
I heard about JS doing that but that’s a totally different league 😂
goldman doesnt either afaik but they do pay for a taxi if you stay late and cant get home
Ohh that's interesting 🤔🤔
Zimbabwe Dollars 🥸
bro is getting scammed
if i were you i'd reject the corporate housing and just live in an airbnb for a week or two while searching for a flat
10sqm room in soho (primi location, fully service) only 300$ per night:
I heard you are invited us all to a dinner party 😂
If you guys want to watch el clásico
Ok is that your handbag? 🤔
Nop
idk about the cabs. but housing yea
@cunning umbra JS employee confirmed 😎😂
No cabs 😉😂
@cunning umbra can confirm for me hehe
in general? or the housing xD?
the housing is nice. something fancy to a walk distance near the office
100%. It’s so hard to find good housing when you only have been to another country as tourist 😂😂
Wait you are for real at Js? I thought it was a joke 😂😂
for real mate! I am as surprised as you are how I managed to pull this off 😂😂
Can I dm you (about housing)
no one I know has ever even managed to get past the js resume screen lmfao
congrats that's insane
thank you! hopefully I can sustain the work rhythm there hehe
tbh they didn’t tell me exactly where it is. I know that there is one close to the office. and that each intern gets a fancy studio
Oh ok. Need to google for housing near Liverpool Street 😂😂
Thx!
Where are u interning?
Liverpool street housing is gonna be fucking expensive
Oh wait I thought you were talking JS London 😂
yeye JS London
but yea idk the streets there
or zones
or neighbourhoods I need to avoid XD
Isn’t Js officer next to Liverpool Street station?
I've walked past the js office in london it's right next to it
Welcome to the club
Not far from there
Citadel hrt and js are all in the same kinda area
I probably wouldn't recommend living in that area unless you're getting paid bank
Hahaha yeah I know 🥲
I am just scared to end up in a shit place and pay big money
Like I have read few reviews about student accommodation places and it was really shocking
Yeah student accom is pretty expensive and generally not great
And I can’t rent a normal apartment for just 3 months.
Yup lol
Below is a web portal to help find previous h1b employers.
Do take a look and share it with anyone who might benefit from it. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.
Linkedin Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/focussedcareers/
damn thats wild relocation for my company only covers 2-3 months accoms at zone 1 + flight 😢 if not they only cover up till 8k
acoms covered is a dream
i think all the hedge funds offer accoms at the same places cuz my comp told me its walkable distance to office too
i mean
it’s internship
so still around 2 months
idk about new grad
I don’t think there exists a company to fully cover for the whole time you’re an employee
true, i only know companies that provide permanent housing stipidend to cover part of your rental
Intern or ng?
Sounds like smth you can ask for when you get JS ft offer 😉😂
NG
haha. I hope I do … but the first step is to handle the work
what is the worst that can happen
😅
First day of work: you shit your pants in front of everyone and then fall down the stairs. 🤷🏽♂️😂
Ah you can do it. It’s an internship they don’t expect you to be a wizard. As long as you do your work it will be fine
Btw… I’ve been thinking… You said you will intern at a company near JS office and that they don’t provide accommodation, yet you’re looking for accommodation in a near area - so I assume they give you a solid lump sum? Is that Bloomberg? 😂
Hahaha nah I won’t say it publicly sorry 😂
bloomberg base pay + sign on not rlly high and they are not open to nego sadly
FT base pay only 75k non-negotiable
if i recall from my friend who got the full time offer recently, the sign on bonus is 5-10k also non-negotiable
i got another friend who's now a senior swe at bloomberg, his TC is 140-150k after all the bonuses
after about 4 years at the company
medium-large hedge funds (js, optiver, hrt, maven, g-research etc) + palantir + selected positions at FANNG are the only companies that pay >=100k TC (base + sign on + bonus) for fresh grad
thats a lot of money here though
even if you get meta, g or bloomberg you're instantly in the top 5% of earner right out of uni
it's a bit out of touch to say "only" 75k
Is Nando’s good? Or should someone avoid this restaurant chain? 😂
It's pretty good, not amazing
yea i understand not saying that its bad or anything but just comparing against the same roles from the same company. Pay discrepancies rlly not well justified
not like the swes in UK do less work than US or other countries
yeah but it's only the US and switzerland which pay more than the uk, it's not that swes are underpaid in the uk, it's that they're overpaid in the us
true that never think of it that way
makes sense
guess the economic gg remove the froth of excessive TC
I wouldn’t say they’re overpaid in the US
the US clearly values swe’s more compared to the rest of the world
yeah but saying they’re overpaying is saying they’re not worth the money. Yet the US is the biggest tech market in the world and salaries continue to rise above inflation
lol?
that’s just bias
nah it’s defo bias, let me guess you’re American?
there you go
😂
how can you confidently say the US are more hard working than every country in the world lol
bro contractors are obviously not gonna work outside their contracted hours
your argument makes 0 sense
it’s just bias against non-us workers based on your own experience
I’ve worked for 3 American companies
this discussion only solidifies my understanding that the average US iq must be very low
lol
american exceptionalism is absolutely wild
people in the us work long hours cause ur culture is ass and if yu get fired you're fucked over by your social systems and immgration policy
your anecdotes are not objective
But your thinking isn’t objective?
it’s based on your own interpretation of people your worked with
so because you worked with lazy people who happened to not be from the US, then all non-us people are lazy
let me guess, you’ve never worked with a lazy us person
There you go, the US must be lazy then from your logic
openai are a company?
not a product
the US is largest in tech from a global stand point in terms of innovation
but lack in many other areas
how old are you by chance?
ahhahabha
yeah
the rest of world just waits for the US to do everything for them
if you want a stereotype of a typical american, you are it
you do mean that
that's what you've been saying
you say that if any non-us person works in the US, they are automatically worse
but its just not true
but what does a weaker work ethic even mean?
more hours != better work ethic
Studies have shown time and time again that lower work hours increases productivity
^^^
lol
you have no clue
you are in a bubble
the only people who work like this are the americans
everywhere else in the world works opposite way
so americans are the weird one in this case
but just cause you are good in one sector doesn't mean anything
you're lacking in so many things
you're like a 3rd world country in most of your sectors
i don't hate america
i dislike your bias opinions
because it's 100% bias
you say you speak objectively but it's literally the complete opposite of objective
its subjective
you need to go back to school bud, or become wordly
because you are living in a bubble
you're not
baguette
just because you live someone doesn't mean anything
you have no empathy of how others work
you literally spout opinions like its fact
somewhere*
what you've said today is exactly the reason everyone assigns the typical stereotype's to americans
it made 0 sense what you've said
if you can't see that, i cant help you
but I don't have negative perceptions?
you have negative perceptions on everywhere else
it seems
how can I judge the whole of the US based on a couple of US people I've worked with
LOL
they don't have a better work ethic?
each culture works in different ways and there's lots of factors driving that
there's positives and negatives to US culture
lol
^^^
the US don't pay people more because they have a "better work ethic"
omg not this argument 😂
US companies do hire people in other countries?
and did post covid
pre*
ofc, because it's cheaper yet they get the same if not better quality
it literally dismisses your argument completely
you realise most devs are outside the us?
like I said before, the US swe's get paid the most mainly due to it mainly being the largest tech market
with the largest tech companies
as well as they're generally being a lot of money there
there's no way of us knowing lol
so this argument is stupid
you're 'facts' are just all opinions
your*
no it's not LOL
they may all be US companies, but I assure you they are all not built by americans
there are thousands of devs behind those products
millions even
yeah but your points are not making sense
you keep trying to allude america is better
in every way
you're probably a trump supporter
not really sure what your iphones point is supposed to be considering it's the only american company in the top 5 market share and is very close to dropping to no2
why would people focus on positives? when there are terrible negatives about the US
for instance, school shooters
the fact you have school shooters makes the US a 3rd world country
no we don't?
i dont take it lightly, to me it only proves that america isn't a serious country
you don't want it to stop?
if you did, it would be stopped by now
most tech in the english speaking world is american because the us is the biggest english speaking country, has more money, lots of tech companies are already based their which attracts more companies to come, less regulated labour market and not very high taxes
it's happened in many countries in the world
chalking all that up to "americans have some magical power to work harder" is extremely disingenuous
but they always stop after 1-2 shootings
because the countries stop it
america doesn't want it to stop
because they likes guns to much
i don't have one
never said i did
there are solutions lol
having no guns?
australia banned guns after their school shooting and guess what, no school shootings since
its a miracle
america is a 3rd world country because they would rather children die than give up guns
nobody will change my mind on that
objective? so objectively it makes sense to keep guns and let children die lol
you are very lost in the US bubble
it's called a re-call
there are so many ways to limit school shootings
but nothing is done
because they want them to happen
lol
in any other country in the world that is a democracy
if a school shooting happened, it wouldn't matter what laws there are
they would get banned asap
yeah sorry, forget can't bypass that precious amendment LOL
it makes 0 sense
the law is just writing
they can change the law
they choose not too
no they won't
they increase year by year
lol
yeah, mental health education will fix it LOL
that will solve ti guys
ah yeah, im sure that will fix it too
mental health is famously very static and does not change over time
americans are very ahead in many aspects, but like 20-30 years behind in many too
america is behind on basic human requirements
if america was a serious country, they would of banned them 20 years ago or limited them by a lot
only in the US will people be mad about violating a law about guns than seeing children die daily in their own country
ofc they do, they're better than the world at everything
they even think deeper
"we just need to deal with kids getting killed for 30 years because we dont want to risk hurting people's feelings" is such a wild take
^
i'm from the UK
you speak about objective thinking
so i ask you, objectively what is worse - losing guns or continuing to see children die
scotland
and we do have guns here
they just require licenses and there's restrictions
yeah but guns are very limited here, with many restrictions
and guess what, no shootings
you need to go back to school, as you have 0 idea what objective thinking means
all you just said is your opinion
objective view isn't an opinion?
lmao
subjective = opinion
do you really think we shouldn't make progress if it doesnt solve the problem 100%?
the 2nd amendment is writing on a piece of paper
the problem is deeper than shootings, its the fact americans hold so much to writing on a piece of paper written what about 200 years ago?
yeah but like a modern society we update our laws
the royal family doesnt kill tens of thousands of people a year
if a school shooting happened tomorrow
the UK parliament would do whatever it could to limit school shootings asap
and thats saying a lot, considering how incompetent our current gov is
but they would still do it lol
exactly
like the UK parliament is no where near perfect
but in the UK, we understand basic human needs
like children's lives
yeah but in my view, you are no different to them
because you care more about an amendment than children's lives
i actually have spoken to pro gun americans and they have the exact same reasons
b b b but the constitution says we can have them
americans are just brainwashed
it's the opposite of woke?
the rest of the world see's it, but nobody understands it
woke people are not the ones trying to keep guns lmfao
to us, it makes no sense to follow laws or amendments that are never updated and never will
like i highly doubt the people who wrote them would agree of the state of the US today
what lol?
have you been to london
figures
the UK isn't in a great state sure
but I think fundamentally people want the good for the country
in the US, it's completely different
the us is not peaking, the US peaked in the late 1900s
who said anything about russia & china being chill?
he always goes back to the "you hate americans" thing lmao
and i don't hate america culuture
i just dislike the thinking behind it
you're so opinionated it's unreal
and the fact you think you're objective is crazy
where did this russia and china stuff come from 😂
😭
you said some really dumb shit and we pushed back, that's not hating americans
that's being anti-american exceptionalism
this is only strengths our argument
just because we have differing views, doesn't mean we hate you?
this is another problem
its true a lot of non-us people hate americans
but a lot love america
because outside of the US, we only hear negatives every day about it
like i said, US has been on a downward spiral for many years now
lol
im going to stop now
this will continue in circles
the us is not even close to being the most diverse or accepting society
but you're clearly so far down the american exceptionalism pipeline that there's no point in us arguing
HOW!!
Dinner by Heston? 😂
faaacts
Where are you going to?
a local agri-tech company, i won't say the name here cause they're small but it's pretty cool
possible L1 visa in the future too 👀
Congratz!!
appreciate it bro
600k
yeah i might reject it
cant live alone on that salary
rent: 300k
rent 2: 200k
csgo cases: 70k
onlyfans: 29k
then i only have 1k left for food and transport
Wow you live really frugal with only 99K for entertainment... I tried to reduce it once to ~100k and I felt really bad... ended up back at 150k.
Gross or net?
gross but i refuse to pay tax so its basically net
I was thinking the same thing
We open our own bank. Think about it
Hey, how did your Vanguard interview go if you ever did it? I remember you saying you did well on the OA
ghosted after oa

Oh what? That's weird. I didn't even have code for my 3rd whereas you did and still got past
Did you email them? They seem to have a very chaotic HR dep
i didnt
i dont have a recruiter or anything, all my emails have been from a noreply address
on the thing it just says this
Ah, I see. Very weird seeing as you did better than me, and (assuming) you also have more experience. Goes to show the RNG involved I guess 😦
yeah
tbh i'd totally bomb the interview anyway lol
i havent leetcoded in a solid month or two
Nah, I doubt it. The first interview after the OA is just a HR interview
The interview afterwards is just on things to do with java/python
There wasn't any code involved. I'm still surprised they ghosted you. You sure it didn't land in the Junk/etc.?
New Grad
Yeah, for sure haha. Atleast you have offers though, barely any interviews for me since. Market seems terrible in UK right now
Not officially rejected but rejected for sure since I didn't do too well on the Java questions
honestly both my offers only had 1 interview round, cognizant was just behavioural and my other one was just talking about my cv
and the 2nd one has a bit of nepotism involved 😂
Easy is subjective haha. If you use Java regularly (or know it well enough), then I guess it'd be decent
are you guys not 2nd year uni?
Wow lol, take what you can get I guess, congrats though!
i thought we were all same boat lol
nah i graduate in may
good luck gamer
which one
did you guys intern in yr 2 or do placements
i didnt
it's ridiculously difficult to get one and i thought you guys were all yr 2 and must have been doing something diff(better)
I also didn't, but my 2nd year was during the peak of covid with the lockdowns etc
fair enough
solid plan
I'm not the only one struggling to find anything in the UK right, lol
Like, even LinkedIn is pretty dry right now
yeah
most of my apps are to no reply emails lol
i've been checking linkedin for like an hour daily since september
it's really hard to find new postings nowadays
facts
Ok haha, just making sure my LinkedIn isn't bugged 😂
need to step my game up man
GL GL
I was getting a lot of OAs towards the end of last year but even the ones i thought i did well flopped
got rejections for things that i did take homes for as well
i did Poly as well😂
the recruuiter connected with me on Linkedin and saw my message but just ghosted i guess
those mfs ghosted all of us
Poly is actually messed up
isn’t the one that pays like a looot?
good luck
nah
cmon mate
u don’t even have to think about this
treat it like it’s your neighbourhood local company around the corner
yea probably
72$ / hour in US
for interns
pog
do you have finals?
or is there something like a phone interview first
and then the on site
nice
heads up. you got this 💪
Hahaha what is “normal” employees. From what I can see they are talking about quantitative portofilio managers which is already high up there 😅
bro what the fuck
30K, 60k, 60k, 80k, 1M, 10M
Average; 1.8M
Median: 70K 🤔
But I would be happy proven wrong (aka getting so much money in a year) 😂
I can’t give you 50k but I can charge you taxes for 50k 😎.
As a king I have the right to raise new taxes 😂
Did you do the OA yet? The process for me was initial call with Dartmouth Partners -> OA -> 30 min first stage interview -> final rounds
ye. I think the same
but you are stuck there
only after 5 years you can get maybe to 500k
but it’s hard to stay that long
usually traders make more
still… huge amounts anyway
Hahaha 200K is still a lot of money in London 😅
<@&868936794601828492>
IM INTERESTETDT
genius
yaya truee
Stuck there with OCaml 🥲
Oh dromedary
22 hours from now I'll be finding out if I'm joining the trading firm gang or not
I am shitting myself
These mfs better not be one of those call to reject companies 😭
Don’t Worry. You did your best! 🙂
C++ mako?
Yeah
So you are a cpp wizard?
Absolutely not
That's why I bombed it 😂
I mean I solved the question like 90% of the way, but I needed soooo much help with the c++ libraries and syntax
My recruiter said they don't judge based on c++ knowledge, but we'll see
I mean it’s still impressive that you reached final round. Heard people are cpp gods at those places
I mean if you explained your reasoning and finished it 90% I don’t see a problem. But again don’t worry you did your best.
Trust me it was a big surprise, I mean there was like 2 momth gap between the previous round and the final
I had just written it off as a reject
Expect the unexpected 😎
Good luck!

Oh yea 😂
I am really curious what your opinion about OCaml is after the internship.
will tell ya
hope I can reach the end of the internship haha 😅
but I don’t think they fire interns xD
Hahaha if they do it would be really extrem. Don’t worry to much you will do fine.
What language are you going to code in?
Most probably something JVM related. Because it’s a fairly new team with medium latency requirements
Guys
Do you know anyone who got interview at Apple ML?
Cuz I had mine, it went really well, but I really don't know what to expect
I don't even know if there are next steps in case I move forward or smt
GOD I AM THINKING ABOUT IT
2am in the uni library finishing up my dissertation which is literally due 30 mins before my feedback call
this is the average so very inflated
got a couple of freshgrad friends doing awe at millienum in their equities tech team
pay is normal tech pay
i think only the quant devs get paid higher but not general swe
but they dont normally direct hire fresh grad as quant dev so only experienced hires
their quant arm WorldQuant generally pays a bit higher
What's the salary range for NG?
For London
I am curios of one thing. I searched online and to live in London you need to have at least 200k / year
but that’s like 1% of the population
how are people coping with the costs of London then
because an apartment somewhat in the centre is around 1k / week
imagine … 4k only on rent
converted to pounds its 70k
as general swe
might be lower
difference between surviving and living

yeah thats not right lol
anything above 30k is fine, obviously won't save much on that though
below 30k is liveable but definitely not comfortable
you can pretty easily find a room for 800-900 in zone 2, that's what most people I know in London are paying
if you wanna live alone and pretty central then 1.5-2k is more realistic
(these are per month)
ah nice
@cunning umbra I assume you come from a city where there is a single city Center and not multiple?
From my understanding there are multiple smaller city centres in London. Basically each having their own flaire and if you want to you can stay there all the time you don’t even need to go to Oxford Circus.
I have seen flats in zone 2 for 1.5k (no bills).
parts of london do kinda feel like their own little town
not many people really live in central central london but the public transport is good so you can get a flat in zone 2 for 1.5k that's probably like 20 mins away from the centre
Was this originally a HK salary though? tax difference is big so cannot really convert directly like that. 17% vs 45%. Because an internship at Millennium and competitors pro-rata is higher than £70k.
Hahaha silly question but “pro-rata XXX per month” means you get every month XXX. If your start date is 3.7 you only get payed from 3.7-31.7 ? Full for next month and so on
Yea, just use the full month's pay and then * by 12
Hahaha just had to check how much money I really make and if I can afford housing 😂
It’s really scary to see someone quote so much money for housing. Nearly 2 times more than people in my homecountry make on average as swe 😂
honestly if you think london housing is bad you should see the absolute shitshow going down in the amazon dublin server 😹
people were posting stuff like 1 bed in a 7 person flat where you share the BEDROOM with 3 other people for like 800 euros
Lol yea that's true, it's ultra competitive there just to find anything
Where are you from?
Dublin is also horrible isnt it
Yeah
For Dublin I was close to getting an offer there (not Amazon) tho
and I was close to secure a stud dorm for 1000 euro / month
so I think stud dorms are also a good option
but the private fancy ones
Congrats!
The key is auto oas
Tbh I'd probably not get past screening
Also if u want referral next year hmu 👀
I have no idea, idek if they do referrals 😂
See I said you did your best! 👍🏽
Congrats!
thank you for having faith in me 🔥🔥
I know from friends at other trading firms that they get referal bonus or so
I totally get if you don’t want to share but how is the TC for maki 😂 it’s so hard to find anything about them
I'll dm
If I am not mistaken they acquired some APAC company recently so maybe they are expanding
Thanks! Yep
They do have offices in amsterdam, sydney and Singapore too
That's amazing
The Netherlands give 30% "discount" in income tax for the first 3 years for foreigners
Do you know when you will be starting?
Yeah I think imma stay in london for now tho haha, im definitely more of a big city guy
September, not sure of the exact date yet
September will be especially awful because of the students
But I'll probably be living alone so I hope my budget is too high for the students to snap it up lmao
Do you have an budget in mind?
~1.5k seems to get me a reasonable place from what I've seen, maybe a bit higher
2k is probably the absolute max I would go, only if the place is super nice
In zone 1 might be a little hard
Zone 2 definitely doable
Is the office in canary wharf or city?
I think only if you have masters
With bills + council tax?
City
Well shoreditch but close enough
Nah without
Now that I think about it 2k is prob a bit high. ~1.5k is where I'll be looking mostly
I forgot council tax was a thing 😭
congrats 🎉
Thanku bro
its initially a SG salary
thats true tax here only about 10%
congrats man!
It's a tax that pays for stuff like water
And the amount is based on where you live
Students get a 100% discount so that's why I forgot lol
ah lol
Wait so over an internship I can get council tax refund if I live in a flat share etc?
I have no idea
Congrats dude
Thanks guys

might have to send in my 231st app
Hahahah
No eggs
Lol
My supermarket has been out for ages, I have to go in the morning to have a chance
Peppers too
This is a uk moment
They are fucking with my diet
Not even the eco-friendly ones
How tf am I supposed to have my bri'ish breakfast without eggsss
get two chickens
homemade eggs
😉
Wanna get rich over the summer as an intern in the uk??? Just fill your suitcase with tomatoes and eggs from Europe and sell them. 😎😎😎
1kg tomatoes = 1000£
Uhhhhhh I can’t think of any recent political event that could impact our ability to trade uhhhhhhhhhhhhh help me out here
They’re blaming it on bad weather in spain 💀
Yo why you guys didn't tell before??
I had a free extra 3kg in my luggage, i could have made bank 😭😭
Tbf Ireland and Netherlands are having similar issues with supply and price hikes, and their media quoted the same reasoning
ok fair enough
i don’t care about facts imma still blame the gov
lmao that's fine
imagine going through the xrays at the airport with a bag full of 3kg of eggs 😭
And when they open the bag you realise they are all broken because they threw the bag around like a garbage bag 😂😂

Flexing those tomatoes and eggs😎😂
Today I've secured a brand new pack
pics or didnt happen
Yeah
Some bank are pretty stupid in the UK
I've been trying to get a few credit cards here and most of them will not even consider me for the credit eligibility test cuz i haven't been living in the UK for the past 3 years
For a freaking basic credit card
Also Chase won't open my current account without any explanations
yeah I heard its a nightmare to open bank accounts and get credit cards as someone who just moved there. My recruiter therfore advised me to get monzo or revolut.
its not really a perfect bank (actually revolut is not even a bank) but for the short term its a good solutiin
Yeah go for monzo or starling or something similar
Credit cards are a hassle to get if you don’t have residency history here so you’re probably gonna have to go with just a debit card
Some banks are more forgiving than others tho, I’ve heard amex is easier
I managed to get one from HSBC today but its definitely a hassle
I'll try amex as well
Thx
I'm trying to build credit history as fast as possible so opening a few should help
Barclays and Tesco (😂) won't let me open
Word
Does HSBC offer personal banking in london
Like savings account and what not
is anybody gg to look for a roommate in london or you fellas gonna stay alone
for fulltime
Yep, although nothing too crazy in terms of AER
I'm thinking about it, the market is so dry rn
I might
Not decided yet lol
Hahaha me too
This rental market kind of tough
Deciding between solo or shared
If shared will be cool to get an apartment somewhere in zone 1
Marylebone 😂
@livid valley what dates are you thinking of?
I’ve heard stories of like 20 people showing up for 1 viewing lmao
Bro I went to a viewing the other day and they had 11 offers
The market is so dry rn if anything half decent appears there's people handing offers without even seeing the flats
Yeah
When I was searching for my current place in edinburgh last year it was basically first come first served
I only got my current flat cause I called them like an hour after the posting went up and I don’t have a job so I was available for a viewing earlier than the other 20 calls they apparently got
There was this flat that I had to view and the tenant was being a little difficult with the agent (totally understandable, they probably screwed him) and the next day someone agreed on a let just with the online photos
I think some landlords in London push for bidding wars
Yeah they do
It's crazy, I've never seen anything similar
Lots of places go for like 300 above their advertised price
Yep, I've seen a few
And the problem with this is that UK housing is such shitty quality that if you do that, it’s such a gamble whether the house is actually decent or not
And because of this housing/ rent prices skyrocket. I saw a studio for 1700 that was basically a dumpster. Everything was broken.
I’ve even seen a fair amount of studios that don’t have a proper kitchen, like no oven lmao
I just dont get it, the average salary in London is not suitable for this kind of prices for housing yet there are tons of offer within an day
There’s lots of high earners here as well, most people on average salaries flat share or live further out
So if ur looking at central London then youre probably competing against other high earners
Like a flat share in zone 2-3 is affordable for average salaries
London is the only city in Europe I know where “average” income still requires you to Flatshare 😅
Dublin is really bad as well
You can live alone in london on the average salary but not close to the centre
Only like way far out (or in a neighbouring town)
Honestly the most annoying part is how expensive a 1 bed or studio is compared to a 2+ bed
Like a decent studio in a good area can be 1.5k but then a 2 bed is only 2k

Does anyone have an idea if J.P. Morgan sponsors visa for new grads for their Emea locations?
they do in uk
I am based outside EU, can I get a sponsorship, do you have an idea? I am asking coz I don’t waste my time applying
i think they do but im not 100% sure
they definitely sponsor international students based here
Thanks and congrats on your offers😅.
thanku lol
they do, my friends from internship based outside EU were sponsored for FT
Ohh great then. Thanks buddy
i think it depends
if ur country has their office, they will not sponsor ur visa, but will redirect u to apply for the office in the location instead. At least thats what happened to ppl around me
for the same role i mean, cuz they have the same role in diff regions
Those from the UK, have you ever received DBS certificate through post?
fair enough, cause the companies have always done it for me, but I was wondering if I was ever meant to receive it by mail as well 😂
and i know it was for background checks
Hey all, was wondering if anyone could help with information about J1 visas. I’m currently at Roblox for the summer and them have an upcoming 12 month with uber after, both in states. However, uber told me bc of j1 something visa something, they cant have me anymore. So its either roblox or uber for them
I think the rule they’re referring to is the 2 year rule saying i have to go back to country for 2 years after intern ends
But i know some people get internships every summer so wondering if theres a way for me to go around this with my visas
Both visas are handled by cultural vistas
wut? this early?
Godspeed, soldier 🫡🫡
Feels so good to finally be out of this rat race for at least a year
damn. didn’t touch leetcode for the last 3-4 months
Hahah I stopped in October 🥲

anybody know what is it like working at tiktok in london
lmao
they shld rename this channel to UK
💯
Yea but not london
Tiktok is kind of funny their teams are not synchronized in terms of recruiting
I had an offer from tiktok live but didn't reject yet cuz I negoed with HR for tc, then another HR from tiktok ecommerce asked me to interview and it's HM round soon as well
ah i dont think my resume is stacked
dont have fanng companies there, just normal tech companies in the ecommerce and fintech space
maybe its because i interned at alibaba before
😂
Will anyone be interning in the fall in London?
Yeah you can usually request a year off to work
Or maybe a semester if your uni allows that
I think even for states u cant just choose because candidature for bachelor is fixed to 5 years
meaning u have to grad within 5 years
but it's more flexible to take leave of absences
so u can do internships and what not
meaning ucan take a whole year of LOA, but that's the max, u can't take more than that
it's also common to take semester leave of absences,cuz LOA is by semester, u have to apply for each semester. most of the times it's easier to find a 6 months intern, so ppl also tend to take one semester off
didn't know that UK is stricter on this
meaning u have to grad within 5 years
didn't know that UK is stricter on this
Can you suggest a group where we can find career fair conferences like Grace Hopper Conferernce, etc?

can canadians do 12-16 week internships in the uk without a visa/sponsorship?
Hi everyone, I am an international student who require sponsorhip. I will have OPT + STEM OPT after my grad.
I have a question:
If companies dont say anything about visa sponsorhip in their job description and it had filed multiple H1Bs in past, Can I put NO for questions related to visa sponsorship in job application?
Did anyone tried this and got any offers?
why would you put NO?
you need sponsorship right?
Yes, but I can work for 3years without sponsorhip and if they are interested in my skills, maybe theu can start my visa process. Its just a thought NM
they will automatically cancel your application if they find out you lied, which they eventually will
same I was looking for one too
Same

Hello, everybody, what is the topic in this field?
What is the most trend in IT market nowadays? Artificial Intelligence? By the report of one organization, AI will rearrange the developer's positions with 100%. Predicted that general developers will be fired 100%, but fortunately, more lots of jobs will be there in the future than before with 150%.
I'd like to discuss with you for the strategy according to its trend. To change the Stack that has been kept for a long time is not so easy I think.

hey just wondering if any intl students here know about the georgia tech omscs. I heard that it's pretty cheap compared to other schools but then intl students don't get a visa before they find a job. I'm trying to explore options that would allow me to stay in school after undergrad in case I can't find a job this year.
Bit of a shot in the dark but does anyone know any Australians/ppl with an Australian passport who have been through or currently going through the seeking process for a work visa in the US?
Hey Guys, are there any facebook groups to look for housing in NYC?

Has anyone done full time cpt during off season? Does the job offer has to be remote or can I work on site?
One more question: is it advisable to do internship on OPT?
Like should I complete my graduation a sem early and take opt on internship and then keep looking for jobs?
Looking for Full time roles*
Check if it is possible. Some internships require u to return back to school tho
nope
yeah stem opt requires an e-verified employer
you need to fill out the i-983 training plan with your manager
you would want to submit the application for stem opt before your current OPT period expires.
so if your OPT EAD is authorized up to, say on the 1st of january, you have to get the stem opt application in ON or BEFORE that date.
you can submit your stem opt application within 90 days of your opt expiring
Are u guys able to get interview call for new grad roles for summer 2024?

How hard is it get into sophomore programs as an international student? (i.e.: Google STEP)

Day 99 of trying to join Tesla.
Almost have a solution ready for LeetCode 417.
I could have looked it up by now,
but this is how I build persistence.
On a closing note for this year, I am not here for the attention, not trying to get famous, not pretending to want to join Tesla.
I really want to join Tesla because I think we are a fit.
And I will keep trying for another 266 days.
When I join, there will be no more posts,
but we can always get in touch if there’s something I can help with.
Thanks for this year’s support and all the best!
Is Amazon sending OA's to International student for SDE summer 2024 internship?
How do you lot find positions that sponsor h1b
Would a company not give me an offer solely for the reason that I can't start on the day they want me to start, but I can start from the next day due to EAD start dates? Even tho first day is just orientation and just 2 weeks later another orientation would take place?
Let's support each other. Pls create an Intl student specific 2024_grad_intern process channel. @frail terrace @indigo comet @stiff agate
