[lapis tide]

Crazy high

[timid tartan]

...

[fickle lotus]

I made 32/hr at Red Hat PEY

Really good team too, got to participate in design, big features etc

No RO tho, not enough budget due to hiring freeze

[lapis tide]

average ibm

[timid tartan]

Hearing all these numbers make me feel like I didn't actually deserve my first internship's pay

Damn nice

Oh like freelancing?

[fickle lotus]

What was yours?

[timid tartan]

Icic

Yea makes sense

That's the upside of freelancing

[fickle lotus]

I'll be honest man $65000 a year during that internship and I felt like a king

[timid tartan]

XD

[timid tartan]

45/hr for first internship

[lapis tide]

where

[timid tartan]

https://www.circle.com/en/

[lapis tide]

[timid tartan]

Well it's a stablecoin tho

[smoky flare]

Same if someone can review would be much appreciated #1162232273760960625

[lapis tide]

what

[timid tartan]

FTX was not USDC

That's USDT IIRC

[lapis tide]

[timid tartan]

USDT has always been shaky

[lapis tide]

didnt they have ftt

[timid tartan]

Huh

Idt so?

[lapis tide]

not very stable!

i could arbitrage that

[timid tartan]

I mean not 100% obv LOL

But at least it's much better than usdt I think

[lapis tide]

[timid tartan]

Ikr

[lapis tide]

what happened here

[timid tartan]

Tbh idt you can find smth more stable than usdc at the moment

Look at the usdt's chart lol

[lapis tide]

how about cad

[timid tartan]

Not available yet afaik

[lapis tide]

stably at about 0 usd

[timid tartan]

I think their latest product is still EURC

[drifting shore]

all 16month postings

[broken whale]

[fallen mason]

1st real technical interview soon, any tips on how to pass?

heard it’s LC medium

[hallow urchin]

is amazon out

[broken whale]

Zon not hiring

@vernal sigil

[hallow urchin]

lies

where

did they say

dat

[broken whale]

@vernal sigil interned there last summer

[hallow urchin]

does he know a recruiter

[turbid island]

no he is the recruiter

[timid tartan]

Yea there's no way Amazon is gonna hire external NGs this time around

They still have a gigantic backlog of pending return offers

[stable ravine]

from where

[analog current]

true everyone ik is waitlisted 🥴

my amazon internship is summer 2024 - i dont think i will be able to get a ro though bc of economy

[timid tartan]

Tbh other companies are still able to offer ROs lol I feel like it's just bcs Amazon keeps on hiring tons of interns despite the economy crash

[analog current]

their afe program hires 450 a year I was told

[timid tartan]

So now they're struggling to fit everyone into the budget

[analog current]

I’m apart of that program

[timid tartan]

💀

[analog current]

Like that’s just afe alone

[timid tartan]

I really regret choosing Amazon for my last internship

[analog current]

I love choosing it for my very first lmfao

[timid tartan]

One of the worst life decision lol

[timid tartan]

I mean yeah as a first it's great

You don't need to think about the return offer aspect

[analog current]

That’s why I’m looking forward to it

Like I don’t have to worry ab new grad

It kicks me off very well

[timid tartan]

Nice nice

Yep

Keep grinding

[analog current]

Frfr

[timid tartan]

Make sure you have 3 or 4 big Ns on ur resume by the time you graduate lol

[vernal sigil]

U got an offer?

[timid tartan]

For which position

I just got phone for the new grad PM position lmao

[echo latch]

Where RO

[oblique crater]

RO machine broke sir

[magic perch]

I feel like there fewer companies honoring/giving return offers, then are still keeping consistent with them,

I respect MSFT for this, despite everything and being a giagantic company, they keep consistent with intern -> FT return offers

[oblique crater]

pre 2020, tech companies didn’t rescind anything

so it went from 0% fuckery to about 30%

[timid tartan]

Yeah and it's hard to make the choices bcs of that

I declined a return intern offer from a company that would be able to give me a return NG offer

[magic perch]

Legit otherwise sooo many other companies big and small have screwed people over

[timid tartan]

And now I regret it

Although I do have one more chance bcs I am interviewing again with that company lol

[echo latch]

You say that but it was still scuffed 2023

The number of ROs has gone down significantly for 23 interns

[timid tartan]

Isn't that kinda expected tho

There's no way any companies can give ROs more than 50%

[echo latch]

With everyone being told they’re not sure if they’ll get RO (some straight up being told they won’t) and then sprinkling in a couple offers here and there much later

[timid tartan]

Even 10% is good and fair enough tbh

[magic perch]

Really eh? Damn

I heard LinkedIn is weird this year

Only verbals and some skepticisim on whether they'll hold

[echo latch]

Idk about that one

J hire fewer interns if you think HC is iffy

[timid tartan]

That sounds like a good idea from our side but not from the company's side I guess

[echo latch]

Some companies do have that or even higher bc they didn’t overhire interns

[timid tartan]

Bcs you never know which one could perform the best

[magic perch]

here's the fun part, companies don't actually care about ppl's lives lolol, they just do whatever is optimal for them at any moment, greedy algorithm

[echo latch]

Like databricks

Apple generally don’t overhire and Google also hired v little for the 2023 szn bc of those reasons

[timid tartan]

Feels like in this economy it's the norm to give ROs only to the ones with the highest performance rating only.

IIRC that's what Meta did

[echo latch]

I’m honestly surprised there have not been more Meta ROs

They hired like 2 interns

[timid tartan]

Wtf

[magic perch]

yep, except they messed that up, lots of top performers just never received anything

[timid tartan]

Well yea that part is sad

[magic perch]

Also are companies not really using codesignal this year loll

Need to make use of my score

But idk of any others that use it

[timid tartan]

I did use it for Coinbase

Got really lucky that I've done it beforehand lol

[magic perch]

that position was for youu ahaha

[magic perch]

legit curated

[timid tartan]

[timid tartan]

Hopefully

If I get that then I'm done with this dumpster fire job hunting

[magic perch]

You can help the rest of us all then

[real island]

If you are still interested in the Amplify program, we will be re-opening our job postings on Monday, October 16th.

For anyone who missed it ^

[lapis tide]

charmander was the rbc all along

[real island]

💀💀💀💀

[timid tartan]

Avoid it all costs if you have the option

[real island]

Idk if they opening both dev and data since the reject was for data

[timid tartan]

Pls don't get yourself into that lmao

[real island]

Yup hoping for Nvidia

[timid tartan]

Which position?

[real island]

Only using it as backup

[timid tartan]

Infra?

[real island]

Ye

[timid tartan]

Nice

I still haven't heard back for NG

[hot rapids]

Lol resume screened from Amplify too

Damn I really can’t be passing any resume screens

[zinc knot]

So like

[pearl trout]

^^

[zinc knot]

Reject but apply ahain???

[plain panther]

anyone hear back from interac?

applied like 3 weeks ago

[hasty crow]

Just got mine 🫡

[zinc knot]

But they said

Apply again?????

[hot rapids]

Maybe they mean Oct 16th 2024 😂

[short robin]

oh i didn't get that

but also never got the OA

lol

[tough knot]

Same

[real island]

Bruh same even tho I just retook OA

💀

Recruiter said I can retake

Maybe I gotta wait for Codesignal to approve the score

[fast pond]

Rejected from amplify this year with 2 internship exp and referral, but last year I got to oa with 1 internship

Makes no sense

[zinc knot]

Job market bro

Keep your head up high

[hot rapids]

Yeah I been resume screened from most things with 3 internship exp 😭

I’ve caught the dooming

[fast pond]

Allgoood

[real island]

[hot rapids]

maybe they filled up

I had Akuna OA in my inbox for a week, but then it filled up and they told me not to do it

[real island]

Oh the auto is reject just coping rn 🥲

If recruiter ghosts me I’m done tho

[short robin]

Bro that’s messed up

💀

[real island]

Yo wait at the bottom of their email signature it has their phone number 💀

Can I call the recruiter LMAO

[hot rapids]

Call they ass

[timid tartan]

If those two are not big N then this current market will eat you up pretty much

Welcome to the reality

[stone osprey]

RBC amplify rejects Lesgo

[timid tartan]

Nah the bar is just crazy high rn bcs of the market

This is exactly why you need to assume that every single application will result in ghost / rejection by default

[sleek meteor]

😭

[timid tartan]

Ideally yeah

But the world is cruel

[sleek meteor]

anyone want to start a scam recruiting company with me, lets take advantage of all these desperate new grads

[drifting shore]

^ same

lol

[timid tartan]

LMAO YO

I'm a new grad smh

[drifting shore]

^ also same

😹

[sleek meteor]

Im a new grad too

but at this point

Hunger games style

[drifting shore]

im still waiting for mine.

lol

[timid tartan]

Hahahah yeah at least you've learnt the hard way that nobody cares about you in this world other than yourself

[drifting shore]

no tests

[timid tartan]

Recruiters only care about the candidates that they end up giving the offers to

[drifting shore]

very true

[timid tartan]

That shouldn't even need LLM. Completely irrelevant

Just that nobody cares enough to spend the effort on that integration

[lapis tide]

small language model

[timid tartan]

Oh you mean general follow up questions?

I thought it was only restricted to application status

Tbh if that happens then great

All companies can lay off the recruiters

[lapis tide]

medium sized language model

[timid tartan]

And spend more money on SWEs

You

[real island]

Bro what is going on recruiter said my score is too low, but Idt they saw my new score? Even tho I said that in my email

[timid tartan]

Hire me when you start

Thanks

[real island]

Bruh fuck them they said I’m still rejected

I got 508 on my new attempt

[timid tartan]

Oh yea rip that's unfortunately pretty low in the new grading scheme

[lapis tide]

gripple match

[timid tartan]

Try getting a new invitation from somewhere else and try again

Tbh I've been wanting to try some ideas and start my own thing

[real island]

Dang rip

[timid tartan]

But I need a cushion of a full time job first just in case if it falls apart

[real island]

508/600 is what I got

What’s that in the old scheme?

[timid tartan]

Yea that's not gonna cut it

[real island]

Fuck that’s bs

someone here got 534

And got interview

Yeah

[timid tartan]

It's not really about the raw number. It's just the fact that the grading no longer takes time into account so getting 600 is extremely common now

[real island]

Yeah ik idk what they doing

[real island]

I’m talking about RBC

[timid tartan]

🤔

[real island]

They gave interviews to people with 500+ fs

No way they need 600 lol

[timid tartan]

RBC is a big tech now

Canada's big tech

LMFAO

[real island]

Rbc thinks they some big tech now lmao fuck them

[timid tartan]

Dw tho, it's not like you wanna work there anyway

RBC Amplify right?

Amplify is a BS program

[real island]

True just pissed that somehow a 534 and 508 is a major difference to them

[timid tartan]

Man just torch NVIDIA and get the bread

[real island]

Ye

[timid tartan]

NVIDIA or die

0 or 1 game

[real island]

Yeah fax I’m just expecting to get rejected 💀 don’t wanna get my hopes up

HM did like me tho so we’ll see

[timid tartan]

Nah you can't do that

Oh wait you're already in the final round?

[real island]

It’s either final or 2nd last

[timid tartan]

Holy smokes, nice

[real island]

Tyty

[timid tartan]

^

Goated stuff

[real island]

👉👈

[timid tartan]

Don't foget our referrals

Lmao I think it just opened a few days ago so we gotta wait

Do you have any interviews going on rn

Yeah I've got some finals and some phones lol

[real island]

Lmaooo dw

[timid tartan]

Yep I did

I'm going to the third round next week

Oof

Would be great if I get it but my eyes are not really on that rn

Maybe the behavioral part?

I remember they asked behavioral stuff on each round

XD

It happens

On to the next

They don't seem to pay that well either tbh so you probably don't wanna go there

Especially since they're in Vancouver

Need an insanely high TC to even survive there

If anything that actually should be what they're looking for no?

I also have some MLE exp which I believe is also one of the reasons why I got the interview

I actually think it might bcs of the number of internships that you have

That role is technically not entry level IIRC

6 internships?

Interesting

Yea I also have like 8

Not from UW tho lol

Oh shit LOL

Rip

[real island]

lol I love how the rbc recruiter told me to improve my skills and apply next year 💀

[timid tartan]

But hey in that case you can focus more on MLE / DS roles then

[timid tartan]

Tell them "Yeah by next year I won't even apply to RBC anymore. You guys won't be on my level"

[real island]

Lmao real

[timid tartan]

Lol that's also why I drifted away from ML too

Good niche but you gotta have at least MS to be competitive

Even MS grads are struggling

It's literally PhD or don't even bother applying

[oblique crater]

correct me if im wrong but Data science feels like you can work more independently

so it’s potentially more applicable to working for really small firms as their only data scientist

might be something worth looking into

[smoky flare]

or does that cause issues in background check

[hot rapids]

I don’t think bg check includes your role? Just that you worked there

[timid tartan]

It won't mess up ur BG check

You're fine

[short robin]

Omg not like this

At least no video lol

[real island]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

That’s true

[echo latch]

it be like that

wait it wasn't an email?

[real island]

I got rejection email then emailed recruiter after

And they told me that

😭

[echo latch]

Oh that’s common

That’s the whole point of a cooldown

here cute cat

[fallen mason]

Gotta be now or wait till Jan

[fickle lotus]

yeah usually starts winding down in nov, dec is basically dead and picks up mid-jan

[echo latch]

Most big companies try to finalize head count by this time

Well actually idk about most some do at least

[ashen mason]

Nah that's cap go scroll down to see when the listing was actually posted

[wary tundra]

what do you mean? It was posted a while ago?

[sleek meteor]

its gone

the postings gone LOL

[fickle lotus]

yeah it expired like 2 min after I submitted xD

[wary tundra]

if you google it's still there

[ashen mason]

Lmao nvm just looks like the bar was very low

[real island]

FUCK

Gonna go back to old one

[rugged spade]

Whats wrong with ur new one??

[real island]

It was focused for my Nvidia role so I thought it was good but then I realized it’s worse for SWE 😢

[rugged spade]

oh rip.. was it like hyperfocused on like lower level/hardware?

[real island]

Yeahhhh to hardware infra type

[rugged spade]

[real island]

Good thing it isn’t Jan at least

🥲

[zinc knot]

I can’t wait for Jan

[rugged spade]

Jan is gonna be scary

[real island]

Real

[rugged spade]

[real island]

Yee Toronto

[hot rapids]

What does your prev experience look like @real island ? don't have to share if you're not comfortable

[lapis tide]

What does your prev experience look like @real island ? you have to share regardless if you're comfortable

[real island]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[real island]

I’ll dm

[real island]

[lapis tide]

Jeanette Britton has

[turbid island]

lol is that the one that trolled at the event

[lapis tide]

mmm

[stable ravine]

did anyone hear back from sanofi new grad?

[dark lintel]

Another week with barely any opening for ng

[timid tartan]

Got two OAs, one for MLE and another one for SWE

Nothing after that though

[little apex]

Is Snowflake OA auto for interns?

[timid tartan]

Usually yes

[little apex]

oh ok, thanks! I was wondering since I received the OA 6-7 days after applying

[timid tartan]

Yea IIRC it's never been instant

But yeah, always auto from year to year

[analog current]

I have Snowflake OA rn

After looking through this discord

I’m not sure I want to even open it

[timid tartan]

Lol yea it's LC hard, but just do it. Good for practice regardless

[analog current]

Dammit DP is about to DP me fr

[stone wharf]

Anyone heard from Capital One NG after the final interviews

[timid tartan]

Wait what

Final interviews???????

Bruh

I thought they haven't started the process lmao

[analog current]

This discord is so depressing sometimes I stg

I’m out here happy I got an OA meanwhile there’s ppl debating between 5 offers already

[timid tartan]

Tbh 99% of the time that's people in the US

So....irrelevant lol

[analog current]

Yeah man it’s so hard being a Canadian trying to break into the US tho

I feel for international folks it must be so tough

[timid tartan]

If you're a Canadian I think it should be fairly possible?

[vernal sigil]

@sage mantle bro stole ur pfp

[timid tartan]

TN is not really a blocker right

[analog current]

Yooo no way another fellow Homelander enthusiast

[timid tartan]

I'm international and I don't care about going to the US lol

But international vs domestic doesn't matter in Canada luckily

[analog current]

Internships aren’t TN sponsored unfortunately

[timid tartan]

Yes

But J1 is usually pretty easy

Most companies sponsor that

At least in previous years

The economy might have changed that

[analog current]

Yeah it’s impacted it a bit

Also just hard to compete w US schools

[timid tartan]

Exp >>>> school dw

[analog current]

Ahhh I hope so man

[timid tartan]

If you're coming with multiple FAANG internships it shouldn't be an issue

[analog current]

I felt good having FAANG exp but I struggle so hard to get interviews

[timid tartan]

Lol everyone has been struggling this year

[analog current]

Yeah ik ik I just meant it’s so painful seeing a few ppl have like 6 offers already and complaining that it’s hard to choose 😂

[timid tartan]

Lol ya I have stopped caring tbh

Just make yourself busy so that you don't have the time to see those stuff

[drifting shore]

wagmi wagmi wagmi

[hot rapids]

yeah it's expected to get fewer interviews compared to US ppl, but getting much fewer than my canadian brethren as well 😭

[analog current]

Yeah relatable

I basically only hear back from places with a referral

Otherwise I just assume my resume is being tossed

[timid tartan]

I mean how many interviews does that person have tho

As far as I know we don't have that many NG postings in Canada in the first place

[hot rapids]

oh I just mean ppl here

also for internships

[timid tartan]

Oh lmfao

[timid tartan]

Oh shit ok nevermind

LOL

Yeah internship market looks pretty good

Y'all should be fine

[drifting shore]

u only need one offer

[timid tartan]

Not in this economy bcs of the rescind

[long glacier]

anyone getting past resume screens willing to share their resume?

[wary tundra]

feels impossible at this point, last year with a much weaker resume had multiple interviews

now with a stronger resume than ever, ghosted and 0 interviews

insane

[long glacier]

kinda curious how the recruiters are parsing these

[wary tundra]

2 piles, FANNG and non FAANG.

non FAANG are never looked at

[long glacier]

mfw my no-name cali startup has zero resume impact

[wary tundra]

that's unfortunately how it feels

hopefully things get better

[long glacier]

ye im gonna be fourth year loo w/ 4 internships and have a single callback

getting close to 200 apps now

[echo latch]

my friend who was at meta also has 0 interviews

it j be rough this year

[long glacier]

are they getting non automated oas though

[echo latch]

🤷

[long glacier]

meta and 0 interviews is wow

ggs time to change career to barista engineering

[echo latch]

I mean I’ve got no tech interviews either w/ 3x faang so not too surprising

I’ve j accepted that I gotta for RO

[drifting shore]

wagmi

[long glacier]

hmm ive gotten referrals they haven't done anything

for amazon, doordash, microsoft and google

although tbf they're all from below manager level except for amazon

[long glacier]

this is crazy

are recruiters not pinging you on linkedin

I highkey think I need to start socializing with recruiters instead of engineers

[hot rapids]

I heard some companies have an implicit negative bias for meta or smth. Thinking they'll renege for something better

[echo latch]

That’s my for why I’m also not getting interviews (also that market’s bad rn but that’s a given)

[long glacier]

thing is some of my friends are getting a bunch of callbacks

but their resumes aren't necessarily good? like zero faang

[hot rapids]

I feel like recruiters maybe care about extra curriculars, open source stuff, design teams

[long glacier]

they dont have that either...

[hot rapids]

I've seen a lot of people with those on resume have success lately

[long glacier]

although I do think design teams help yeah

+1 on that point

[echo latch]

I’ve had a couple quant headhunters, but I’m not going for quant so it’s a moot point
No tech recruiters tho

[long glacier]

...suffering from success

[hot rapids]

I want to try for quant, but I feel like I am one big name away from passing screen. I also don't have the leetcode skills there yet for the OAs

[long glacier]

I thought gpa was important for quant 🤔

[hot rapids]

I think @long glacier @wary tundra and I are pre similar situation, 3-4 internships with very little callback for interviews lool

[long glacier]

I think we just need to crack the code

there's got to be some sort of hack for this

[echo latch]

Only for citadel

[long glacier]

ah

TIL

[hot rapids]

yeah I read only citadel hard enforces the 3.7+

which seems kinda hard to me??

but every other mf here got a 4.0/4.0

[long glacier]

nah 3.7 is like ~80 at waterloo

[echo latch]

And they prolly mainly care bc of my last internship lol

[long glacier]

google?

[echo latch]

w c++ and systems work there

[long glacier]

ahh that's so cool

[echo latch]

basically all 3 checkboxes they look for

[long glacier]

tired of writing js and java

[hot rapids]

Is that kinda the tech they look for quant SWE? C++, Python, systems stuff? What else would you say is a core skill to have

[wary tundra]

I guess only hope is that last internship eventually gives a return when they start hiring again

I don't want to delay grad

[echo latch]

well for getting past resume screen: target school, target company (g/fb usually), c++ and systems work
not all of this is required but the more you have the better

as for passing it's a toss up between firms: for most a solid understanding of systems, os and networking concepts and modern c++

being comfortable w lc too

[hot rapids]

what about something like db tech? I know citsec uses that company's db, kx? Huge in-memory db for modelling

[hallow sapphire]

gotta touch grass

[echo latch]

Can’t really comment on that. This is what I’ve seen to work so that’s what I can speak about

[hot rapids]

I shoulda applied for the student society's roles 😭

[long glacier]

Yeah I gotta think in the mind of a recruiter

[timid trail]

@left plover mind if i dm you about willowtree process?

[hallow sapphire]

honestly

not worth

all the crazy people

I dealt with

children all of them

[left plover]

sure go for it fam

[timid trail]

accept my friend request haha

[fickle lotus]

Same, I'm already considering going for QA, IT or anything remotely tech related

Sucks after doing a SWE internship but oh well

[hot rapids]

what if they ask you why QA after doing a SWE internship? How would you answer that :o

[fickle lotus]

unemployment making these minion memes hit diff fr

[hallow urchin]

im just talking about internships tho

[sage mantle]

lmfao

[timid tartan]

I mean, either you go big or go home 🤷🏻‍♂️
No middle ground

[little apex]

How important is it to have c++ in your resume for resume screen?

[stable ravine]

depends on the job role

if they're are looking for c/c++ dev 90% yeah but don't fake it else you'll be grilleed

[little apex]

Make sense thanks

[topaz linden]

they reduced their pay so its much lower than that now

[echo latch]

Prolly around or less than 200k now then

199k being stocks with $1 base (actual money)

They did reduce US ng pay significantly

[lapis tide]

[echo latch]

They have some weird comp policy and the yearly grant thing that everyone, including people who work there, hates
