[chilly burrow]

My stack is golang, grpc, aws, gcp

[empty socket]

grpc looks intense

[chilly burrow]

It's not

It's a gr8 way to standardize microservices and facilitate communication between them

[topaz elk]

Anyone got any advice for 2sig OA

[lilac locust]

dang

[chilly burrow]

Study tagged if exists

Be smart

[topaz elk]

I'm scared

2 sig my dream company rn

[split plaza]

it’s hackerrank right

[topaz elk]

Mmhm

Should I python or cpp hmmmm

[chilly burrow]

Which one r u better at?

[lilac locust]

whatever youre better with

[topaz elk]

My peak was with python but I've been pivoting to Cpp lately

[winter loom]

What’s a good score for seetgeak o?

Oa*?

[topaz elk]

So idk if I remember python stuff

Will probably redo their LC tagged with Python

[split plaza]

why tf did 2Sig stop using codesignal

[white escarp]

cpp is good

lots of companies pref cpp over python

[topaz elk]

Tru

[white escarp]

e.g: lots of companies in vancouver pref u to interview in cpp

[lilac locust]

what about C

[white escarp]

oh u can even do assembly

👀

[lilac locust]

pls no

[white escarp]

but are u sure u wanna do it

[lilac locust]

will i get a job

[winter loom]

Does codesig use the higher score if you retake ?

[white escarp]

ye

and ye

[split plaza]

Also when did you apply

[topaz elk]

Week ago

[shrewd ocean]

is 145 tc for seattle low

[buoyant fable]

this company revature has been messaging me on linkedin, calling me etc... whats the deal with them? should i just ignore? i did a search here and it looks like yall dont think fondly of them

[sonic coral]

Absolute fuckin scam

[topaz elk]

Mann people have their perspective skewed by this industry

No it's not low

[sonic coral]

Go for witch over revature imo

[buoyant fable]

got it thanks

i hope so but... 2.9 gpa. though i have a faang internship on my resume and go to a t20 i believe

[inner prawn]

Witch is tier 1 I’m telling you guys

[sonic coral]

Bro with faang on resume then gpa don’t mean shit

No tech company will ask gpa

[inner prawn]

The first couple months I literally worked 0 hours and got paid

Name me one company with better wlb than that

My work consisted of checking to see if money was deposited in my account

[exotic oracle]

lmfao

goated

[sonic coral]

Weren’t you LCing too tho

[inner prawn]

Yeah that’s the only way I could LC lol

Cause I literally had no work. Paid to LC

[exotic oracle]

you can do what the do on r/overworked

get an actual job

and use WITCH for a free paycheck

[inner prawn]

Honestly I’m prob gonna apply to a witch job again and get free money while I’m on the bench

Extra 60k

They only figure it out after like 6 months

[shell dome]

any thoughts on whether its better to grad in 3 yrs and recruit for NG this season or grad 3+ and recruit for intern

[chilly burrow]

Imo recruit for intern

[shell dome]

any reason why

am at FB this summer if it matters, so i already have a brand name on the resume

[vast mica]

can anybody pls share Microsoft new grad link ?

[languid charm]

anyone got Amazon OA for new grad today ?

[graceful crown]

its been over 15 days since i applied

havent got one yet

[drifting pelican]

Same

[sudden sequoia]

been a month for me lol

[graceful crown]

have yall been getting emails from aws recruiters?

[sudden sequoia]

also is IMC oa auto?

[supple egret]

Same

[hexed moth]

is it common for people to dip outta new grad offers

like bounce from company to company as they do better and better?

a friend of mine already got an offer, but he's still applying to others in hopes of getting a better salary

[vast gyro]

renege is slightly unethical but companies are worse so

[buoyant herald]

Your friend is smart but cringe

[unborn sorrel]

Look for engineer i positions !!

[buoyant herald]

Reneging may blacklist you

[hexed moth]

that's what I was thinking

[vast gyro]

who cares about the blacklist if you don't want to work there

[lilac locust]

Cant find

:(

[hexed moth]

yeah, he got into a company that's local so it's nothing like a big tech company

[surreal shuttle]

Same

[topaz elk]

Anyone know how many rounds 2sig has

[stoic belfry]

zon 2x60 final

[winter loom]

when'd you get the email?

[scenic mason]

6 rounds 3 tech 3 behavioral for final

[topaz elk]

Thnx

Gonna kill myself

[marble bronze]

I think they just send you home after lunch if you do badly

[topaz elk]

Lol rlly

[marble bronze]

Forgot where I may have heard it, I think it was a YT video on the 2sig process

Might have been the Algoexpert dude

[split plaza]

how’d the OA go

I’m guessing relatively well because you asked that question

[topaz elk]

Haven't done yet LULE

[split plaza]

Oh lmao

[verbal sorrel]

Check out this job at Kickstarter: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3201471885

Really interesting that they’re doing a 4 days 32 hour schedule. Worth checking out.

[marble bronze]

Seems like a few companies are starting to test that out

[dusty basin]

Why does this sound like one of those auto-generated “check this out! 😃” messages

[stoic belfry]

the survey? did OA2 last night

[verbal sorrel]

Idk

Lmfao

[unborn sorrel]

Damn maybe there going through hiring freezes as well lol

[lilac locust]

Shit

[unborn sorrel]

Yea Mybad . I haven’t looked at the site

I know my team just hired an engineer 1 …2 weeks ago

@lilac locust

[lilac locust]

It’s okay

[honest sundial]

Is MSFT new grad out?

[acoustic berry]

Got the Amazon offer

[oak patrol]

How many rounds?

[acoustic berry]

1x30 final

[winter loom]

W

[acoustic berry]

Now I have to decide if I want to live in nyc lol

[split plaza]

NYC is probably advertising org, and ads is arguably the best place to be in Amazon rn

[acoustic berry]

Good to know

[hexed moth]

my team at tiktok had me learn golang

[honest sundial]

What's the tc? I'm NYC intern but I'm curious what the return offer tc might be

[acoustic berry]

Mine is not return but around 195 tc

141 + 80 bonus + 122 rsus

[umbral plover]

verkada oa

[restive halo]

did you request nyc in your application?

[gilded dust]

Is imc oa auto?

[acoustic berry]

No, requested all Mass

[restive halo]

interesting. I guess at the very least it’s still east coast which is good. I’m hoping I get something east coast too

[gilded dust]

Damn Amazon offer is pretty nice

Congrats! 😍

[restive halo]

I think it’s split over the first 2 since the RSUs are backloaded

[acoustic berry]

Yeah split 44 36

[inner prawn]

Lol my guy drooling

[acoustic berry]

Every year is about 194 tc

[sage stump]

when do grad postings come out

[split plaza]

Some are already out

[restive halo]

I wonder if you could reach out to your recruiter and see if there’s any openings in MA

[split plaza]

Most will come out August/September

[modern socket]

capital one doing interviews yet?

[restive halo]

I’ve got mine on the 9th

[acoustic berry]

They claim your location isn’t negotiable so idk. They had my preferred location anyway

[restive halo]

ah that’s unfortunate

[modern socket]

when did u apply

or actually

when did u do the OA

[gilded dust]

I have to amazon, citadel, and imc oas

😮‍💨😮‍💨

Oa season is here guys

[rain patio]

IMC oa. how bad is it?

[restive halo]

I used an existing code signal score but I submitted that about 3 weeks ago and set up my interview date ~10ish days ago

[modern socket]

damn that’s kinda annoying

i did it two days ago

just wanna get an offer on the board to have something to lean on for security

[livid pagoda]

does amazon allow referrals for new grad? or you cannot refer for a new grad role?

[marble bronze]

I hope they do referrals for new grads lmao or I'd be fucked

[whole berry]

yeah they do

but heres the thing

will you still be able to get 1x30 ?

[livid pagoda]

I guess that depends on OA2 but atleast you have a higher chances of getting an OA due to referral.

[hard flare]

2 harder meds, p tedious but not too bad imo

[devout gust]

I got a 2x60 for amazon final (perfect score for oa1)

Anyone knows what to expect? Tnx

[kindred ether]

Have anyone applied to Airtime ?

[whole berry]

what about the simulation ?

[vestal pelican]

Got JP Morgan hackathon invite today

The deadline is Nov 3 lol. Why give out invite so early

[fallen fox]

how did you oa2 go?

[lilac siren]

should we have a 2023_grad_process channel now?

[delicate hatch]

Yes but the admin said he’s busy with his job so it might take a while to add

[hexed moth]

jpmorgan hackathon? what's that

[buoyant herald]

Bruh is it just me or am I seeing a bunch more monotonic stack/queue problems

What is amazon's fascination w them wtf

[chilly burrow]

Just did IXL oa
I feel like that was too much effort tbh

[valid fable]

did u pass all cases?

[chilly burrow]

Ya

It just felt harder than necessary

[sonic coral]

my buddy got an IXL offer recently, dude had DP on the OA i'm pretty sure

[chilly burrow]

damn wtf

[sonic coral]

you going for bay or nc

[chilly burrow]

Idk 🤷‍♂️

[sonic coral]

which one did you apply to lol

[chilly burrow]

I'm a Canadian so I may b put in Toronto

[sonic coral]

ah gotcha

was just gonna say its 90k for nc

in case you're curious

i think bay is like 120?

[chilly burrow]

ya i tink so

[sonic coral]

they dont give stock or bonus

its just base

[white escarp]

90k is livable

[sonic coral]

90k in nc is chilling

[chilly burrow]

120k cash is livable

at least i tink it is

[sonic coral]

its in san mateo i'm pretty sure

dunno shit about the bay

yeah the nc offer is way better tc wise for sure

its in a sleepy lil suburb near raleigh tho

so if you wanna live in the city you'll need to commute

yeah i heard

morrisville is like maybe 20min drive from raleigh?

[winter loom]

Yoo did he get the 2023 ng offer?

[sonic coral]

he's a 2022 grad but he applied a month or two ago

[winter loom]

Do you remember his interview diffuclty? Also in the loop

[sonic coral]

i think it was like mediums? he said his communication skills really came in clutch because the engineer let him finish a problem after the interview

[rain patio]

holy shit

got 1x30 for amazon

[winter loom]

Like he hit up the engineer in the emails?

What location @rain patio

[sonic coral]

the engineer told him to email him the solution because they ran outta time

[rain patio]

does loc matter?

i brute forced both parts of oa 1 lol

for usa

i guess i aced oa 2?

[winter loom]

Did you choose like a smaller office in USA? Curious if nyc bay area seatrle ppl got it

[rain patio]

i got a med and hard on oa 1

[acoustic berry]

You can put priority

In the initial app I put top locations I think

[empty socket]

@jagged ravine did u do 1x30 or 2x60

damnn nice

and u aced it sheesh

[acoustic berry]

Mine was entirely OA1 verification

[empty socket]

whats crazy is that the 1x30 says to have a pencil and paper

that got me sweating

[rain patio]

what did they ask about oa 1? since my solutions werent optimal

[acoustic berry]

Yeah lol

I heard back today

Which is 1 week

[empty socket]

sounds stressful

[acoustic berry]

Literally on mine the guy showed up 8 minutes late, asked if I remembered the questions for about 5 minutes then moved on

Portal update yesterday, offer today

[acoustic berry]

Tbf I think my answers were optimal but he didn't ask about that

Thanks!

[restive halo]

for me - asked if i remembered the OA questions, spent about 10 minutes giving my thought process for them, then gave me the rest of the time to ask about working at amazon

[empty socket]

did he have u pretty much recite the questions off memory at first

[acoustic berry]

Nope, maybe because he was late and felt bad or something. Literally just do you remember this question

I said yes

we moved on

[empty socket]

man

that sounds great

urs was similar @restive halo ?

[wraith idol]

did anyone do the roblox OA yet

is there no code signal this year?

[restive halo]

I did kinda recite the question for mine but I don’t think it’s necessarily a requirement to fully remember the questions

[empty socket]

okay cool

i do remember my questjons to an extent forsure

[acoustic berry]

There is a codesignal

[empty socket]

my second question i didnt pass all cases so im guessing they will make me try to change up my code?

[wraith idol]

when i click access my assessments it takes me to some roblox site

and says begin setup

[empty socket]

yep continue

[acoustic berry]

He did ask on the first question how long it took me and how many tests pass

[acoustic berry]

codesignal is part 3 of the assessment

[wraith idol]

ahh ok

if i click will it start

i'm not ready to do it now

[empty socket]

did they ask you guys how many times u pressed submit

[empty socket]

it wont

[acoustic berry]

No, it will check your browser and then you can do the three in order when you want to

[restive halo]

I was pretty much just asked to walk through the code, give the time complexities, and then was asked if I considered any other approaches to the question (which i said no bc i got the optimal solutions pretty quickly)

[acoustic berry]

You don't have to do all three at once

[wraith idol]

wtf lol

roblox username

[empty socket]

you can create one if u dont have

[acoustic berry]

Yeah this seems like a big possibility, but keep in mind they are doing this more to verify that you wrote it then to really interview you

[empty socket]

i see i see

im gonna try my best, just nervous

[restive halo]

yeah I don’t think they have any intent to try to grill you too hard during it. as long as you understand the code you wrote and can somewhat remember some details about taking the OA then you should be fine

[raw current]

when is yours?

[astral solstice]

do you take the roblox assessment in the roblox client/app? or still in internet browser

@acoustic berry

[acoustic berry]

One was in the client I think?

[astral solstice]

so u had to download the roblox app

[acoustic berry]

The 1st was def browser

I have the Roblox app already so I’m not sure

[empty socket]

someone said something about roblox oa not working on m1. is that still true

[raw current]

when was your interview with amz and which location you get?

[acoustic berry]

Someone else said they had it work so idk

[empty socket]

kk ill give it a shot

[astral solstice]

@empty socket are you abt to do it now

pls lmk if it’s in-browser or roblox app

[empty socket]

ill do it tomorrow

[restive halo]

had the interview today and probably won’t hear back until about friday or next monday

[empty socket]

i still gotta do the first browser one

[delicate hatch]

My Amazon portal says interview is at 9pm…. How come it’s so late?

[acoustic berry]

Time zones maybe

[empty socket]

was that in ur time for availability?

[delicate hatch]

I didn’t receive confirmation email yet, only portal update so far. My availability is from 1pm-3:30pm pst

[novel tide]

ayo it’s vert

crazy.

[empty socket]

ayooo

[steel vale]

What do they use the roblox username for?

[split plaza]

Anyone know anything about Old Mission Capital

[rain patio]

i know that their recruiters ghost

[steel vale]

How long does Jane Street take to respond?

[split plaza]

They’re fast, usually <1 week

Sometimes 1 day lol

[sudden depot]

has anyone taken the roblox oa yet?

[shrewd ivy]

[hexed moth]

make sure ur not a racist

[chilly burrow]

you need to play a roblox game (i am not joking)

[steel vale]

Lol my username has the word pooper in it from when I was 14

Wondering if they deem that was inappropriate

[chilly burrow]

i dont tink they care tbh

also u coud just make a new account

dats what i did

[steel vale]

Yeah i should do that lol they ask for robux to change usernames

[steel vale]

Guess my resume didnt make it then

[split plaza]

sorry should clarify that rejects usually take <1 week lol

[naive glacier]

Can you apply to Amazon intern AND new grad, 'cause I can't tell if my grad date is Dec '23 or Aug' 23

[hasty nexus]

I committed to new grad for same reasons

I’ll just graduate harder lol

[calm shale]

How do we still not have process channel yet

[cedar gulch]

anyone know if 2023 new grads can also apply to the summer 2023 intern position? There isn't any date specified on the app

for microsoft

[inner prawn]

These mods sussy

Biased to 2022 grads only

[limpid tulip]

When did you apply for the ng position?

[gilded dust]

I haven’t heard back, it’s been almost 2 weeks

[livid yew]

Lmao would be the first time I've ever played/used Roblox

[chilly burrow]

Same lol

Coincidentally I was going to download it this week

So I guess it worked out

[summer olive]

How long does it take to receive the Amazon OA normally? And what does that OA comprises of? How many Qs and time? Is it like codesignal with camera on or what?

[calm shale]

Just 2 questions

[chilly burrow]

• It is random. It can take weeks, months, and u may never get it
• It is a hackerrank, usually consists of Amazon tagged questions
• It is not proctored

[modern socket]

yo am i screwed going to a state school or is interning at fb enough?

[raw current]

you have fb internship, you gonna be fine

[white escarp]

Isnt it 13?

[split plaza]

23

[vital meteor]

Why would it be

[winter loom]

wouldnt it come up if a recruiter sees your name

[livid yew]

Bruh that's still new lmao

A "old" MacBook would be like 2015 and older

But I also consider the past 3 years to be "current events"

Lmao just get a PC

[marble bronze]

Intel Macs just feel bad now with M1

[livid yew]

Why?

[marble bronze]

My degree I think is still mainly a means to an end, which is the job. The theory is interesting, but it's not what I wish to pursue.

So if I get the full time job, then I go.

[livid yew]

Yeah I don't see a point in engineering

I mean sure you might learn some more theory

[marble bronze]

It might be. You have an opportunity to spin it to a full time offer.

[delicate hatch]

Trading firms are not for normies like me

[modern socket]

wait what year were u?

also bro that’s ridiculous

this year?

[delicate hatch]

Masters is good to have if you are into Data Science since most companies hire Masters/PhD students as Data Scientists

[marble bronze]

Or AIML I guess

[modern socket]

projects?

[marble bronze]

Damn

Honestly I'm just hoping for Amazon with my UC, Startup Internship and high ish GPA

[livid yew]

Do some projects

[delicate hatch]

500k as NG? Wtf… 😮

[livid yew]

Fair enough. But projects are good for personal curiosity and advancement

[modern socket]

yeah bro that’s kinda not good???

my projects are like carrying my ass

[livid yew]

Oh I guess my GitHub is on my resume. So recruiters can find all my repos

[steel vale]

How long can i wait to do the citadel or any OA? I dont have high expectations.

[livid yew]

Tbh just put your GitHub on resume. If recruiters want to see your projects, they will look at your repos

[modern socket]

yeah but they never actually check those

[delicate hatch]

My GitHub is filled with gta mod repos

[steel vale]

Thank you it says any time for me

[livid yew]

I know when people view my repos lmao

[delicate hatch]

How?

[livid yew]

Some of mine have tracking code.

Other I see if they get starred

One of my repos has 10 stars and 2 forks already

[modern socket]

i mean idk we’ll see ig

where’d u get offers?

also wait when did u start applying?

lmfao i like just started

can u send that link for c3?

where at

bro tbh i just want amazon at least

idk i did the cap1 and gs OAs so just waiting to hear back to schedule some interviews

capital one just seems so dead

and the pay is kinda meh

[primal pike]

when does amz respond after oa2

[livid yew]

Amazon east coast is prob NYC or I know they have offices in WV and NC

McLean, VA is like 30min outside DC

So basically DC

[modern socket]

it’s just a codesignal tbf

rly easy stuff

[modern socket]

yeah fuck that i’ll reject unless they do remote

[livid yew]

Yeah I guess if it was closer to actual DC it would be cool

[modern socket]

nyc or die

[livid yew]

Interesting take. Do you currently live in NYC?

[modern socket]

i’m out here for my internship and my gf lives out here

[livid yew]

Gotcha

Yeah I've only visited NYC once when I was like 9

[modern socket]

my manager got me referred at citadel

so here’s to hoping that i can get an actual interview

[livid yew]

Citadel pays pretty good. Probably a decent bit of work though

[modern socket]

“pretty good”

it’s like 300k recurring and 420k first year

[livid yew]

Nice

[modern socket]

levels has the deets

i prob won’t pass the interviews tho

[livid yew]

Yeah my life doesn't revolve around money lmao

[small pike]

What do u mean

[modern socket]

what does that have to do with anything g

[gilded vortex]

citadel is no life

golden handcuffs

[modern socket]

lmao i wanna retire at a set number

so i’ll take it

[small pike]

Oh sure u can negotiate

[livid yew]

Oh well you said "pretty good" lmao. I guess I mean I don't really care how much I'm getting paid tbh

[small pike]

Then there u go u set for life

[gilded vortex]

its insane how much they make, at my last internship, a senior dev was there for 15 years, but its not a job you can balance with family

[modern socket]

yeah because saying pretty good seemed like a crass thing to say in light of how gross the pay is

i mean the pay for swe is almost sickening

[livid yew]

Agreed. Coming from my first HS job making $8.25/hr to now having a TC of 140k is crazy.

[small pike]

Yes everything is relative

There is always someone making 2x as much as u

[modern socket]

yeah and the part that does annoy me is when ppl forget that

like cs majors deadass go “yeah u can’t live off of <150k in nyc or the bay area”

[livid yew]

I am a normal SWE lol. Will probably never make it in FAANG. but whatever

[modern socket]

like ok

[gilded vortex]

But having 2.5k-3k rent is still terrible

Yeah I have to live in SF next semester

[small pike]

I heard the average salary/income in Manhattan is 200k?

[gilded vortex]

and prices are terrible compared to where i am at

[gilded vortex]

doing what

[small pike]

No just for everyone

Like as in that’s how the average person makes

And it’s average not media

[gilded vortex]

like 150k, but that is household

[small pike]

Yeah idk somewhere in NY

[gilded vortex]

also the super rich are skewing it

[small pike]

Yep

[vital meteor]

my bad

[modern socket]

okay but manhattan ain’t the only borough

[small pike]

I think it’s getting worse over time

[modern socket]

the median is lower in bronx, queens, etc.

and they’re all commuting there for work

like if i can get a job out here i’ll prob move to astoria or somewhere in queens

[livid yew]

Well in like San Jose, I think 300K would come to like 15,525 after tax per month. If I did math right

So 2.5k rent is pretty doable there lmao

[small pike]

Yeah and also if u can get 2.5k rent

[gilded vortex]

in sf, when I say 2.5k, I am talking about 300-500sq ft studio

[small pike]

Lol ok sure

[inner prawn]

This is what I’m doing, it’s a good option imo

[modern socket]

i mean that’s not even that bad

[small pike]

But if I’m making 300k I’d rather not live in <500 studio

[gilded vortex]

lol yeah

[modern socket]

most tech companies handle your insurance and shit so basically your expenses are basic needs and extra stuff

[small pike]

Work remote living expense in SF ain’t worth it

[modern socket]

like y’all need to chill acting like u can’t pinch pennies and make 30k in yearly rent work on 90k+ after taxes

shit i’d go for that on 180k

[livid yew]

Well with a TC of 125k in San Jose, and 2.5k rent you would have ~4700 after rent

[inner prawn]

Huh what does that mean

[modern socket]

yeah and that’s also what a lot of these ppl are getting or more

[modern socket]

i mean i’d do a 1BR on 180 tc

[inner prawn]

Yeah what’s wrong with that lmao

[livid yew]

Like nobody is forcing you to buy the $10 coffee at Starbucks every day lol

Nobody is forcing you to get door dash

[inner prawn]

180 in nyc, 1 bedroom is perfect

Or roommates

[modern socket]

i’m in love with my doordash driver

love is forcing me

[livid yew]

Just learn to cook, make your own coffee, etc

Stop being a lazy ass

[modern socket]

or work somewhere that’ll give u free good

[small pike]

In a studio maybe not

[modern socket]

food

[gilded vortex]

When you work for one of those companies though lol

[modern socket]

fb’s free food was pretty good

[livid yew]

Doesn't matter. You gotta learn the basics.

[vestal pelican]

You save money like this but you have to spend time

[small pike]

True straight facts

[vestal pelican]

Which could be more expensive

[small pike]

Unless u cook for like an entire week and meal prep

That’s the only way cooking for one is worth

[livid yew]

I mean cooking dinner takes me like 30min. what else was I gonna do?

[small pike]

Cook clean eat?

[exotic oracle]

?

[shrewd ivy]

i drink huel/ soylent

[exotic oracle]

Bruh you making box max and cheese only?

[small pike]

Whole ordeal takes 1+ hour

[livid yew]

Nah I prepare things ahead of time

[small pike]

Buying groceries prepping?

[vestal pelican]

Cooking takes way longer than 30mins for me + I need to wish the dishes

[shrewd ivy]

huel takes me max 3 minutes

[small pike]

Yeah that all takes at least 1.5 hours

[exotic oracle]

So you just didn’t count half the time lmfso

[modern socket]

not as long as there’s a trader joe’s nearby

[vestal pelican]

You waste mental bandwidth on meal prepping lol

[exotic oracle]

You still have to do that at some point, can’t completely omit it from the calculations

[modern socket]

here’s what i do

go to trader joe’s

[livid yew]

I mean dishes, go in the dishwasher. I will do prep on like Sunday

[modern socket]

get frozen food

heat or cook the frozen food

[gilded vortex]

Make pasta everyday

[modern socket]

eat the food

[small pike]

Frozen food is the hack

No cleaning involved

[vestal pelican]

In college I make my own breakfast and then eat 1 meal out and that's it

[modern socket]

they have orange chicken and fried rice that absolutely smackkkk

[vestal pelican]

It's not that expensive

[livid yew]

Did y'all not cook growing up in HS/college?

[small pike]

No advice u live in America we waste food lol

[modern socket]

and it’s all cheap as hell

[modern socket]

my dad was unemployed sooooooo

[vestal pelican]

Ok breakfast is ez lol

[shrewd ivy]

okay fried rice is so simple to make tho

[vestal pelican]

Cereal, oatmeal, fruits

[livid yew]

Fry some eggs, some toast

Easy breakfast

[small pike]

Cooking and planning that stuff gets annoying

[vestal pelican]

Eating out ensures I get variety of foods and nutrients

[modern socket]

yeah it is but trader joe’s is selling it for like $3 and giving me enough for two people

[vestal pelican]

Otherwise I would cook the same 2 dishes

[small pike]

U maybe come home 6 and u get tired and then u have to think about what to prep and cook

[livid yew]

Idk I guess I come from a family of home cooked good

[modern socket]

like i can afford $3.50 for a meal if it saves me an hour

[gilded vortex]

Go to office early, eat food there

[vestal pelican]

I eat really good food at home when my mom cooks lol. I just adjust when I'm on my own

[livid yew]

Damn I had a apartment with kitchen most of college, so I cooked a lot

Too each their own I guess

Tbh I only really learned after home econ in HS

I guess y'all a bunch of living under rock ppl

[gilded vortex]

?? lmao

me

[livid yew]

Tupperware. When you buy produce, think ahead, like don't buy a bunch of greens if you won't use in time

[fickle stump]

imagine having office food

[livid yew]

Also freeze leftovers

Pretty much the best way to not have waste

[gilded vortex]

amazon?

at least you have banana

lmao

sentient out here memorizing the lps

[livid yew]

Yeah I was pretty self sufficient at like age 16/17

Tbh I probably spend maybe $100/month on eating out/door dash lol

[dusty basin]

My manager tells me to expense food to corporate card

[livid yew]

I have enough money to do that lmao

Just seems stupid

[fickle stump]

pray for my manager

[livid yew]

I guess I have never lived in an area with a bunch of food options

[vital meteor]

3.6k a year isnt that bad on food

[dusty basin]

We can afford to be stupid

[livid yew]

Can we? Are you sure

[dusty basin]

Yes

[rapid dawn]

Hello guys, I have a really tricky issue. Someone has referred me a position in Microsoft but the email I gave him was locked (I forgot my password and not able to get it back even after connecting with the technical support). Is it possible that I could ask the referral to change the email and update resume under this condition? Thank you in advance if you have any suggestion

[vital meteor]

Why would you ask us and not him

[gilded vortex]

Yeah why not just ask them to send it to another email

[random cobalt]

Did anyone hear from GS after oa?

[gilded vortex]

no

[rapid dawn]

oh thank you

[random cobalt]

How'd GS go for you guys

[livid yew]

Me coming from Midwest, we have like 10 options for door dash lol

[gilded vortex]

I did one problem suboptimally but did pass the tests

[rapid dawn]

I guess I'm a bit too nervous as I feel so stupid for forgetting the password

[livid yew]

Start using a password manager. Like BitWarden

[vital meteor]

I wouldnt worry about it it's not a big deal

[livid yew]

While you're at it, start using 2FA

I would assume all us tech nerds already use 2FA

At least pretty much every account of mine goes thru 2FA

[vital meteor]

Do you pgp encrypt too

[rapid dawn]

Got it. Thank you!

[livid yew]

Nah lol

I guess so. Im so in the tech sphere, professionally and personally. It's a dangerous path

Where sometimes I don't know where the 2 split

Oh lmao found the picture of my kitchen from earlier

[gilded vortex]

I currently live in a place where if you make anything on the stove the smoke alarm gets tripped

[livid yew]

Currently live in LCOL. moving to MCOL

[dusty basin]

he doesn’t need it but always nice to have

[dusty basin]

Same. I just hung a hoodie over the smoke alarm tbh

Rip me when an actual fire starts

[gilded vortex]

Undercooked food vs actual fire

[random cobalt]

How was GS oa for you guys? Did you guys also do the math part?

[inner prawn]

Yo why everyone want GS so bad. You could’ve dm’ed me for a referral lol. I can give full-stack/back-end referrals, it definitely helps you get past the HR BS

[primal pike]

hi

[gilded vortex]

Idk if it was that I wanted it so bad, but they were one of the first to get their new grad post up and they also give automatic OA

[inner prawn]

makes sense

most ppl get resume screened after OA though

[rapid dawn]

The email question again: I cannot access my email at all now, so can I just apply all the positions I applied before with a new email and the same resume (with updated email) again? Or any better solution?

It's really a disaster. Hope you would never face this kind of problem...

[gusty sand]

is citadel OA auto ?

[whole berry]

yes i believe so

[random cobalt]

Did anyone hear back from John Deere?

[sage current]

lol. got my intern presentation in 7 hours, have not even started.

[random cobalt]

When's you guy's internship ending

[sage current]

in a week. where are you interning?

[lilac siren]

I will have my presentation this Friday but I have not finished my project yet.

[lucid mason]

Does anyone have a link to the Capital One new grad software engineer role? Is it called "Technology Development Program Associate - 2023" or is that something else?

[raven verge]

uber

[crystal delta]

is this 2023 newgrad or nah

https://www.dropbox.com/jobs/listing/3354694

[coarse quiver]

You meet criteria as a ng from what I see in the description

[chilly burrow]

It is not, Dropbox usually has seperate new grad postings so I recommend waiting for those.

[devout gust]

no idea lol

[pastel bane]

is the interview the earlier the better?
I hope to get the headcount earlier, but dont know if Im prepared well enough.

[random cobalt]

Is Capital one oa automatic? How long after the application did you recieve OA?

[frigid ember]

my onboarding friend just switched from GS 😬 does not sound like a fun place to work from what i heard

[woeful basin]

Has anybody done verkada oa? Can I know what to expect?

[sonic coral]

How did you lose access to your email? Can’t you just reset your password using your phone or something

Or like contact customer support to verify your identity

[slate bobcat]

You think I can hear back from C1 with a 738 codesignal?

or should I wait another 2 weeks to try one more

[frigid ember]

yeah that’s probably fine

[primal pike]

bru why did amazon reject me with a perfect oa

[slate bobcat]

FUCK

same

I just rejected from Amazon

[primal pike]

fuck i shouldve done it sooner

i bet they filled positions

[slate bobcat]

this quick?

it’s just the start of august though

[primal pike]

did u do well on oa1

[slate bobcat]

Yeah

I got a 100 with like 20 minutes left

[primal pike]

did we bomb oa2 lmao

[slate bobcat]

I guess

I felt good about OA2

like so good

[hazy gull]

they def arent done this early

[primal pike]

same it was common sense mainly

well shit then

[slate bobcat]

I’m actually so mad about that

I was hoping I would get the amazon offer and chill for new grad

[primal pike]

yea its my last chance b4 grad

this startup nship saved my ass ngl

[winter loom]

@slate bobcat @primal pike when did you guys do oa2?

[slate bobcat]

Like a few days ago

[primal pike]

monday

some ppl saying they can contact u later on but idk if that works with new grads

[white escarp]

idt they filled yet

i feel like amazon never filled lol

[vestal pelican]

How is the imc OA?

[modern socket]

yeah nah bro u just screwed up oa2

chill out

[vapid monolith]

Hey guys, for those that have done Microsoft Interviews or know someone who did, do questions get repeated from the Top tagged on leetcode?

[winter loom]

Did you get a Microsoft interview?

[azure zephyr]

my sis is a recruiter at amazon and she says there's plenty of jobs lol its def not too late yet

[vapid monolith]

Nah. Not yet at least. Just tryna prep ahead

[grizzled bronze]

Could of been because of the workplace assessment stuff, they place a huge emphasis on that

[river harbor]

is audible already closed?

can anyone send link for roblox job opening

[primal pike]

:Sadge:

[grizzled bronze]

Check Roblox's career site, it should show up

[raven token]

So whats the consensus on prepping

[raw current]

is Roblox OA automated?

[raven token]

is it still blind75?

[river harbor]

I tried but not able to find the job for new grad, Tried searching with Graduate and new grad key words as well

[signal trail]

Anyone take Goldman Sachs OA yet?

[lament summit]

ye

[azure zephyr]

i hope so 😂😂

[azure zephyr]

look under their university recruiting

[river harbor]

Got it, Thanks

[azure zephyr]

Uber is also up

[river harbor]

Audible closed pretty fast, I wanted to apply today and link is gone

[marble bronze]

Damn, is it?

[sudden depot]

does anyone know if you fail an amazon interview and are placed on the 6 month waiting period, are you even considered for roles with their subsidiaries like Twitch and Audible?

[valid fable]

yea the application process for each subsidiary is separate from each other so no cool down

theres no cool down w aws too

[sudden depot]

really? I interviewed with AWS and didn't get an offer but, the recruiter said I had to wait 6 months

[valid fable]

i meant to say theres no cool down w aws if u get rejected from amazon or another subsidiary

[sudden depot]

ah

makes sense

[obsidian marsh]

is citadel OA automatic?

[acoustic berry]

yeah I think so

[primal pike]

that sux cause idk what I did wrong there

[sinful tendon]

oa2 isn’t rng there are right answers

yeah that’s true

but there are strategies that seem to work well for it

[drifting pelican]

What are the strategies?

[wind bolt]

Roblox's codesignal is proctored, right?

first time doing a codesignal test

so I don't have any old scores

[sinful imp]

is capital one OA proctored?

[acoustic berry]

No I don't think it is

[wind bolt]

How'd you do on your cognitive tests?

Then it was most likely your resume

did you get an interview?

maybe

do you have exp though

im guessing its either your resume or they had already chosen their interns

do you know if documentation is needed for codesignal tests?

[coarse quiver]

Mr Brando is back

McGill kid

[nocturne oriole]

The custom codesig and some OAs might actually read ur comments

Not joking

[fickle stump]

do u guys know ubc used to bc mcgill vancouver

[wind bolt]

that's cool

I like that

[nocturne oriole]

Sry what i mean is if u dont complete the problem they might read ur comments

[wind bolt]

oh

documentation should be part of the testing process tbh

but that's good to know

[nocturne oriole]

Just a theory lol. I have passed rounds where my comments were like “this is what I would do”

[wind bolt]

I'll add comments in case I run out of time

right

[nocturne oriole]

Dont even think about it just a thought

[coarse quiver]

Especially if most test cases pass

[wind bolt]

I wonder if they'll go over your answers in the interview though

[wind bolt]

yea i mean

maybe a sentence here and there

if its complicated code

[nocturne oriole]

But lowkey it does help anyway, good habit to have high level comments even when algo is not complicated. U will run into 10 step solutions that are just using 5 hashmaps and 3 sets

And comments help

[wind bolt]

definitely

[nocturne oriole]

Omg python is so goated

[wind bolt]

so the max score you can get/question on codesig is 300, right?

so assuming an exam has 4 questions, your max score would be 1200?

or are the #points assigned to each question based on the difficulty?

damn and some people are getting 830+

impressive

[rustic vessel]

Was it a proctored gca?

I really don’t want to take it again. I know I was able to use my proctored score more than 6 months later.

[covert pecan]

Can someone send me the link to the microsoft new grad application

[modern socket]

is there a good list rn for new grad?

only coderquad that i’ve found but they didn’t even have the roblox app

[iron lily]

is uber first round interview for new grad swe just the standard codesignal but you have to explain your answers to the interviewer over zoom (i.e. pair programming)? that's my understanding from the email they sent me to schedule it

[old gulch]

?

[azure zephyr]

wow you've already heard back? how long did it take to hear back from them?

[iron lily]

1 day

a recruiter reached out to me and told me to apply

and then they asked me for my availabilities to schedule a first round interview

[scenic mason]

I think it just hasn’t been updated yet

[acoustic berry]

ye

same

I highly doubt it

what platform?

ohh

yeah I think someone said something about issues with mac

[modern socket]

amazon has an easy process

lol still waiting to get it

[acoustic berry]

True I did both OA in like 40 minutes combined

[modern socket]

with my luck i won’t get it this time lmao

i did it back when it was 3 OAs

what’s the current format?

nice that sounds easy

i have adhd so it was hell

[sharp plume]

I think 1x30 is determined by how well you do oa2

[modern socket]

as it is i have to reread the code prompts like 3 times just to comprehend the words

[sharp plume]

Yea

[modern socket]

oa2 is just the work simulation???

or did they get rid of that?

[sharp plume]

Yea so application of principles lol

[wind bolt]

yes

[acoustic berry]

1x30 seems to be heavily based on something other than OA1 lol. Maybe OA2 maybe other

[wind bolt]

but even with a gpu its laggy

[sharp plume]

what would you do if x etc

[wind bolt]

for the first one at least

dw about the 2nd one

[modern socket]

let’s not pretend that there are any real principles being applied

[wind bolt]

gg

honestly idk if the gpu matters

[sharp plume]

yea lol I did oa1 in 10 min and got 2x60 😭

[wind bolt]

i didnt check if it uses it

but i dont think it hurts to have one lol

oh in that case yeah

i mean

the system checks to see if your browser meets the requirements before you run the test

so it'll warn you

or it should, at least

Lol

oh

you dont have a windows pc?

or laptop

rip

maybe try emailing them

or your last resort would be to go to a library or somethign

library computers are usually bad though so idk how they'll do

nice

yeah

idk you have 2 weeks to do it

you'll probably be able to find a computer by then

yeah

they do

but they have these tests as well

they're following ibm's interview style

the first one is weird yeah

the 2nd one is actually pretty fun

[acoustic berry]

The first one made more sense to me though

The robot thing was weird

[wind bolt]

the 2nd part of the first one made more sense tbh

i was a bit confused during the first part

but the 2nd part explained it better imo

the robot one was easier, i felt

i hear they're super similar

the first test at least

yeah

[azure zephyr]

yeah the coderquad isn't the best, it's listing some positions that aren't even for summer 2023 grads

[marble bronze]

Deer STDs

Hmm

[azure zephyr]

lmao we might have to start our own list or something

[winter loom]

No cap

That list is slow as hell

[iron lily]

someone created a pr for hrt

they just take days to merge it

based

[vast gyro]

the best one is the one you make yourself

i did one last year for ng lmao

[dusky plover]

@rain patio did you finish ur ood problem

for amazon interview

[pure badge]

Hello friends, here is a an auto-referral link to any position @ Sentry:
https://grnh.se/e7300b801us

[high ermine]

did anyone get amazon OA1 today?

[fossil basin]

just did amazon OA, got one question full and other question 7/15 because not efficient enough, is this enough to get OA2?

[errant karma]

Nice

[pine citrus]

Hey where do you guys see update for 2023 grad process?? I can’t find any channel for it.

[split plaza]

It hasn’t been created yet

[errant karma]

Go for it I will support you

[fickle stump]

should be

[white escarp]

u didn't do it w ur repo 🤣

u deleted it

[errant karma]

Amazon OA2 is my worst nightmare

[inner prawn]

There’s a good chance

[drifting pelican]

For amazon new grad positions, are you suppose to see them in the Amazon Student Programs account? I only see them when I select "I applied for coporate role"

[acoustic berry]

Should be in the student programs one

[drifting pelican]

I didn't even have a student programs account until now..

Did my referrer mess up?

[chilly burrow]

Any1 else get the email from Sentry?

It says I should receive an oa but didnt get anything yet...

[tall solar]

good company

very good company

[left fern]

i got that email too, for internship tho

[tall solar]

as a product atleast

[azure zephyr]

Is anybody here struggling with deciding between taking a return offer at your current internship or trying to find other offers?

[tall solar]

what place

you should try for both

[chilly burrow]

Did u get oa?

[azure zephyr]

fortune 500 retail company 🌚

[left fern]

nope. i was going to message the recruiter and ask about that

[chilly burrow]

alr lmk wat they say

[azure zephyr]

yeah i'm just a little torn between i really like my team and the wlb is excellent which is super important to me. the pay is competitive but obv not as high as like...FAANG

[ornate sedge]

Direct reject from jane street 🥲

[azure zephyr]

i'm just going to continue applying and see what happens

[ornate sedge]

What do they expect frm a candidate? Anyone who got jane street OAs or who cracked interview or something

[azure zephyr]

lmaoo are you an intern at geico? 😂😂 i gotta ask

[lunar hatch]

Is old mission oa automated

[sonic coral]

That’s a gecko wtf

[honest cloak]

I see 0 problems in returning if you like your curren job that much

[honest cloak]

And the pay is good

[stoic belfry]

mine was in corporate too, then got migrated automatically to student programs after a few weeks.

[drifting pelican]

did you get an OA?

[azure zephyr]

wow the neeva interview process is something i haven't seen, they're asking for me to complete a coding project in a week to submit

[stoic belfry]

yea, mine got sent about a week after they first started.

[torn lantern]

Usually that's a big red flag

[sonic coral]

Search “fuck neeva” in this server

[torn lantern]

Trust the racoons

[sonic coral]

There’s several people who put time into the coding project and ended up getting ghosted or rejected

Without an explanation

[left fern]

recruiter said to check my spam, but oa isnt there either. do u see it in ur spam lol

[azure zephyr]

oop nvm lmaoo

[languid charm]

anyone here completed imc oa ?

[vast gyro]

lmao

dont do take homes kids

[languid charm]

did anyone got amazon oa today ? or anyone got oa who applied last week after july 23

[buoyant fable]

why does every company give a 90+ minute exam, how am i supposed to do more than a couple a day on top of working and studying...

[vast gyro]

me last year internship + summer class + recruiting season

just pray to lc gods i guess

[chilly burrow]

Nope

[winter loom]

Anyone take the Amazon oa2 yesterday and heard back?

[late kestrel]

if they turn around and open up for new grads in 6 months, gotta be the most fucked up thing

[fleet flame]

Anybody graduating dec 2022 and got a bloomberg offer, did they reach out to you with the 2023 compensation package yet?
my recruiter told me he will reach out the week of august 1, but haven't heard anything from him so far. kinda anxious

[lilac locust]

tips and tricks for citadel OA

[river harbor]

When did they open application for new grad? I can only see 2022 one for London

[fleet flame]

i applied to the 2022 role back in march

[rapid dawn]

Oh I completed lost the access. The technical customer service has tried several times but security information is not enough...

On average what pays more? Embedded or swe?

Swe

[fleet flame]

Ahahaha meta

wut?

[astral solstice]

does anyone have the google new grad link

i can’t find it on the careers site

[sonic coral]

Google is currently pausing hiring

[small pike]

The hiring freeze for interns, sucks

Recession go boom

[late kestrel]

oh yeah its all over. technology is no more

[humble juniper]

if ur graduating in dec 22 is it better to put ur grad date as may 23 or dec 22 (or does it even matter)

[small pike]

Why

Big tech go boom

[late kestrel]

haha i gotcha just being dramatic. season just started though and the market has been doing well the past few weeks

[buoyant fable]

isnt microsoft also doing ng as of yesterday

[late kestrel]

qqq up almost 16% in the past month. pretty wild

[small pike]

Pretty sure we going into recession tho

[late kestrel]

id be surprised if we test mid june lows again any time soon

sideways sure, but i doubt we lose these past 2-3 weeks of gains

my 2c

[buoyant fable]

ot but where do you guys get your financial news? trying to be more informed

[inner prawn]

Bloomberg

[vast gyro]

dont matter

[late kestrel]

very fair

[primal pike]

bru why is getting faang so hard

[vast gyro]

[primal pike]

because reject reject reject

[vast gyro]

dw amazon is always open

[frail beacon]

How long is gap between amazon final -> offer/no offer?

[rain patio]

what smaller shops

[primal pike]

rejected

what small shops pay 180k

[vast gyro]

resume reject, or

[primal pike]

def not in canada

[primal pike]

bombed oa2 i assume

[split plaza]

Lot of these also have a higher bar than FAANG lol

[primal pike]

bru palantir and rippling aint small shops

[split plaza]

Really?

[primal pike]

plus they ask harder questions

didnt most ppl get rejected by rippling last yr

smaller also means competitive and selective

amz doesnt gfa just ace the oa2 and youre in

tru tru

i was lucky af to somehow land a startup internship

parttime tho

was it easier before this year i dont remember

[stoic belfry]

is j.p. morgan OA auto? got sent to my spam folder xd

[primal pike]

i always wondered that. faang devs must get a lot of pressure to perform above outside of faang

do u have exp

where

u should be good

just study abroad or smth

[exotic oracle]

i do it all came to me in a dream

i know ther future market

are those easy?

relative to other top companies

[primal pike]

coinbase will b fine

[exotic oracle]

im becoming ceo of google next year that was in my dream

[primal pike]

faang or bust wtf are these salaries

[umbral plover]

verkada phone

[primal pike]

whats verkada

a cod map

[timid charm]

Uber lol?

Ah APM is good

I’ll disagree on startup vibes tho

You don’t get to claim those when work shuts down for 3 weeks every promo season

That’s the classic “are we big tech yet” benchmark

Because of all the politics you have to trudge through to get promoed lol

[vestal pelican]

Uber gives free food + bus transportation

[timid charm]

Peer reviews, perf reviews, writeups, etc

[vestal pelican]

Def not a startup vibe

[timid charm]

Uber food S tier tho

Let me tell you

Offices too

Best in SF (not bay)

interned last summer

ehh it changes tbh

[vestal pelican]

I might apply to uber

[timid charm]

rn prob Silicon Valley defense is high on my list. followed by av startups. maybe keep working on smartglasses idk

getting tired of cv tho so backend prob regardless, which means the work is about the same everywhere lol

anyways Uber’s prob a good join

nice earnings finally

good offices, good food

Stier internal tooling

guys who founded temporal made cadence there

kraken is great too, their open source stuff is life saving if you work with workflows and containerized microservices at all

plus the long term appeal of the company remains cool

Uber’s always kinda been designed as a moonshot

survive til av becomes a thing, then takeover as the primary av infra platform

looks like they can survive, so you could prob just join and hold stock until av becomes mainstream

nah they sold to aurora

they have a ridiculous stake tho

bleeding too much cash to do it internally

i was sad when they first sold

but w the waymo partnership and whatnot, they don’t really need their own av team anymore

i mean

pre stock crash maybe lol

Lyft only exists bc drivers get angry w uber

dd is the only real competitor they have

hmm

merging makes no sense for lyft

maybe for dd

but lyft’s infra is so bad lmao

everything’s on aws

same w dd

tooling at both is god awful too

my dd interviewers had my rolling

one of them

i kid you not

when I asked what was something good/bad about dd

for bad he said “well our team is fine, but other teams have wlb so bad that their managers are forcing them to take vacations”

fastest decline of my life lol, their upside isn’t good enough for that kinda workload

nah Uber has 2 data centers they built from the ground up

which you become intimately familiar with as a SWE lol

but yeah I would avoid both of those companies tbh

between the two, dd prob has a future and I like their leadership

but Lyft is kinda 💀

[vast gyro]

many companies are hybrid instead of fully on cloud or on prem
