Best of luck!

[sour night]

[floral plank]

Anyone knows what is a good score to move on for circle?

[lofty tangle]

Yoo, finally got an email from palantir, took karat on 18th aug

Thank you for completing our Karat interview! As a next step, I'd like to schedule a call with you to learn more about your background and interests, as well as answer any questions you may have about Palantir.

[floral plank]

Is 819 good for most companies?

[lofty tangle]

Is recruiter call the next step in palantir or was it onsite directly ?

[lament summit]

differs for diff ppl

but sounds like recruiter call for u

mines was recruiter call first then karat

[lilac siren]

I shared my 844 for circle, then got moved on in several hours.

👻 ghost for HRT and Roblox

[floral plank]

Roblox seems to be taking pretty high scores

[sudden depot]

i need a favor from someone who has leetcode premium

[pallid quarry]

What to study for palantir’s on site?

[old vector]

itsreally annoying

[sudden sequoia]

[normal palm]

Winter

[autumn ridge]

Gotcha I did the same and thought I did well bc it's 2 questions in 45 min but then I read this channel and realized their was a third question lol. Scheduled my redo for tomorrow morning

[wary pollen]

Snap will lay off 20% of staff, report says https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/30/snap-will-lay-off-20percent-of-staff.html?__source=iosappshare|com.apple.UIKit.activity.CopyToPasteboard

Guess no new grad hires

Class of 2023 💪🏼💪🏼

[cedar zodiac]

Google will email 8-10 weeks after interviews apparently 😩

[abstract monolith]

Is there a hiring freeze for amazon did 1x30 interview last Wed still under review? For canada

[pallid kernel]

give it until tmrw

prob not 5 business days yet

[pallid quarry]

I only got two so scheduled a redo but recruiter canceled it saying I moved forward

[abstract monolith]

But ppl get the portal change 1 day before right?

[pallid kernel]

yeah some people got it for yesterday

i’m interviewing for vancouver and i did my interview on friday

so i still must wait

[abstract monolith]

1 x 30?

[prime palm]

[abstract monolith]

Got it late july

[pallid kernel]

2x60

[abstract monolith]

Glgl

[pallid kernel]

ty u too

i’m so very nervous

trying to distract myself

[abstract monolith]

Yeah same

Scared there's a freeze

[pallid kernel]

i don’t think there is

last i heard they’re desperate for people

[static moth]

idk about hiring freeze but maybe theyre jus dealing with an overflow of candidates rn. for example i completed the 1x30 interview scheduling survey a week ago and havent heard back yet lol

[normal palm]

if anyone's good at c++ here i'd like to ask a couple of questions

[limber vale]

Two lc meds

[limber vale]

Damn imagine not being in the server

Jk lol you’ll be soon enough

[chilly burrow]

Just took a giant L during a technical screen 😭

Was asked a harder version of an lc hard

[pallid kernel]

i can’t because my portal is under review still

[rain patio]

which company :(

[abstract monolith]

For Canada? Maybe cuz I messed up when taking the oa1 photo

[chilly burrow]

Uber

[winter loom]

has anyone gotten amazon offer letter today?

[marble bronze]

So credit karma rejected me because SDE1 != new grad I guess

Shoutout to the recruiter for responding though, what a champ

[bronze nymph]

they aren't even profitable but ask lc hard+ to new grads 💀💀💀

[marble bronze]

Yeah because profitability is NP-Hard

[quiet mauve]

anyone finished the roblox assessments yet? is it similar to last years' or completely different?

was it a ecosystem simulator again?

[marble bronze]

Deer std?

[quiet mauve]

thats what i had in 2021

[marble bronze]

I haven't done it myself yet, idk

But I think it's the same

[quiet mauve]

i wonder if theres a guide to doing well on the ecosystem stuff

i remember i did pretty shit on choosing the right plants etc.

[uncut umbra]

Iz 781 good enough for cap1 and circle

For codesignal

[limber vale]

for cap1 probs

[exotic oracle]

I think my cap1 was like 730 💀 and I got power day

[smoky lodge]

can bezos get off his fat ass and send me an OA

[uncut umbra]

Cap1 at least, bless

Wb circle, I do not want to take another codesignal

Too dumb for amazon

[sour night]

Bro I still can’t get my power day and I took the OA like Aug 4th 💀💀💀 heard they’re backed up tho

How’s the hackerrank for palantir? I just got it and the title says build a dependency graph

[pallid quarry]

When did palantir have hackerrank? I thought it was only karat before on-site

[uncut umbra]

Not a fan whatsoever, is it proctored

Fuck it then, I'm submitting my 781

[simple elk]

isn't it just GCA

[uncut umbra]

I don't like codesignal

Dgaf if it's gca, it's so rng-based

[simple elk]

no its fox now

[simple elk]

true i did a 681 practice then said f it and got an 812 actual

luckiest day of my past month

[uncut umbra]

Yeah I genuinely hate it

[sour night]

Idk I just got an OA from hackerrank

[uncut umbra]

You have to be able to get the 4th question or you're fucked

[shut parcel]

anybody here gotten an offer letter for amazon ng 23 today?

[abstract monolith]

Do you mind sharing your offer timeline?

[bleak raven]

is scale ai oa auto

or am i special

[knotty folio]

I believe it is not auto but idk

[gray niche]

No but portal shows moved to another job now so I'm assuming that's an offer, the letter should come soon

Is there some template email for not accepting a return offer from your internship but not wanting to leave any bad blood? lol

[bleak raven]

"i got an offer that pays more go bye bye"

worked for me

[abstract monolith]

Congrats, when did you do your final interview?

[crystal delta]

i didn't get

[gray niche]

friday

[bleak raven]

tbf i did write the main engine for dall-e so maybe that helped?

[abstract monolith]

For Canada?

[gray niche]

US

[pallid kernel]

guys i just did the stupidest shit ever

i was editing a confluence page for work and accidentally attached an image of an anime girl

and now i cant delete it because i dont have permissions

[normal nebula]

Sorry newbie here. What is an oa?

Thanks

[tardy geode]

[bleak raven]

[pallid kernel]

i am going to get fired

[humble pebble]

or are you just coming up with a mascot for your product

[surreal shuttle]

I wrote cumulative sum as cum_sum in amazon OA1

and i am supposed to explain the code next week

[static moth]

LMAO

thats the funniest thing i read all day

[surreal shuttle]

i am scared af

[kindred ether]

I would actually Hire you right away

[kindred ether]

oh shit happens you know..

[pallid kernel]

no, just a normal picture, but it obviously shouldnt be in our wiki lmao

[humble pebble]

eh you'll probably be fine then lmao

[buoyant herald]

I dont see the problem

Sounds like a good time to me

[magic acorn]

So does it mean that I just be over some threshold?? Or it needs to be competitively better

[shut parcel]

hey guys is there a way to ask amazon to start earlier

[wary pollen]

What do u guys think of neetcode's new paid platformm

[tardy geode]

If someone is good at Java , can they please convert this Python code to Java equivalent? would be of a great help

[frank wedge]

I give up

Coding on phone sucks

Lol

[plush fossil]

from something import HashMap
int[] arr = new int[]{1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}; # something like this?
Map<Integer, Integer> counter = new 
HashMap<>();
for (int num: arr) {
   if (counter.contains(num)) {
      counter.put(num, counter.get(num)+1)
   } else {
      counter.put(num, 1)
   }
}

beat me to it, but i think this is more 1:1

[vital meteor]

I thought I was on the amazon server for a sec

[tardy geode]

Thanks a ton !!!!

[blissful sonnet]

Yes

[tardy geode]

oh i see , so my resume seem to work . noice

[blissful sonnet]

I got resume rejected for backend role but for OA for frontend role

[tardy geode]

oh

[blissful sonnet]

So seems like they check it

[tardy geode]

how do you know if you got OA for frontend role?

@blissful sonnet

[blissful sonnet]

Because I got rejected for backend role and decided to apply to frontend role that day

[tardy geode]

i see

[shut parcel]

does anybody know how early we can start for amazon 23 ng

is it jan 23

[gilded vortex]

probably some where around there

I'm graduating in dec too

[pallid kernel]

do they let u pick any start date u want

i kinda want to take a break after grad

[whole berry]

i also gave dates for same days

[tired hollow]

Not sure if it's the same in the US, but for Canada, amazon is flexible with start dates between Feb 6 2023 to October 2023

[pallid kernel]

its awesome that they have such a huge range

[tired hollow]

Yeah, it's definitely really nice

[fickle bridge]

Any codesignal tips?

[bleak raven]

cheat

[tardy geode]

ok so after getting the dictionary made , i want to return the number that appears twice . so what would be the additional code? @plush fossil

[plush fossil]

.-.

bro am i doing an oa indirectly or something

[tardy geode]

nope , just need help 😦

[plush fossil]

idk just iterate through it, check where the value == 2, and return that key?

// Assume other code exists
for (int key: counter.keyset()) {
  if (counter.get(key) == 2) {
    return key
  }
}

There's definitely more optimal solutions though if every # occurs once except 1 that occurs twice

like using a set

[whole torrent]

@bleak raven do you happen to have a link for the spacex new grad role? I can't find it :/

[bleak raven]

o shit is it gone

[whole torrent]

i think so.. but maybe im just blind

[bleak raven]

nope it’s gone 💀

[whole torrent]

ggs lol looks like i was too late

ty for checking

[delicate cloak]

yeah no i'm not taking this shit again

[whole berry]

i been reading this channel for the past 20 mins

im now invested in a lot of peoples portal updates for zon

[surreal shuttle]

i am finishing my graduation in December in hope that i will get a job at amzn

but in my resume i mentioned i graduate in may 2023

Which location did you get?

[vital meteor]

Yea, Alaska is rough but you do what you gotta do

[smoky lodge]

REMINDER

turn down your Amazon offer

This way they have more people to hire so they rest of us can get offers

[bleak raven]

you guys are getting amazon offers 👨🏻‍🦯

[smoky lodge]

I’m still waiting to get an OA

[abstract monolith]

My friend was able to change location

[bleak raven]

same 😭

[surreal shuttle]

I want to get NYC or LA

[abstract monolith]

Can you ask for remote for Amazon?

[smoky lodge]

[abstract monolith]

Yeah emailed

But that was for 2022

[surreal shuttle]

Which location do you want?

That is very specific. I don't think they will give it. But try

[vital meteor]

Team dependent

[kindred ether]

This Bro

[dire yarrow]

Uncertified genius

Broooo

[weak latch]

Bro the earlier possible BB phone date is mid October what the HELL

[floral plank]

Mine is early October

Yea it is pretty far

[marble bronze]

F

[lament basin]

bruh

[rain patio]

bruh

[normal palm]

yooo

wth

you're too op if you get confluent

[rain patio]

if i graduate dec 2023 should i still apply to full-time?

[normal palm]

yeahhh

i'd say confluent is a unicorn

especially if you're a java guy

oh

have you heard of kafka, they run that

[static moth]

but they arent tho

they IPOd

therefore they arent a unicorn

[normal palm]

idk if you define unicorn as only companies without ipo

amazon is very team dependent, you can get a very bad team

or you can get lucky and end up on a good one

[static moth]

thats what a unicorn is tho - its a startup worth 1b+

[normal palm]

oh i see, i kinda defined unicorn differently for myself, a company that provides instrumental value to it's own market

[dusty basin]

U can internal transfer day 1 tbh

[pallid kernel]

why does amazon assign u to a new location? is it cus the office u applied to is alrdy full?

but its so early in the hiring cycle

[normal palm]

fr? i haven't heard of this

[dusty basin]

Just have to go through interview again

[pallid kernel]

wtf

[whole berry]

got this today

like rn

[normal palm]

you can internally apply

but your manager will know

[dusty basin]

Since they have no way to measure ur performance

[pallid kernel]

theres no way im doing the interview again

[dusty basin]

Don’t be dumb and get a verbal offer before u formally apply. Ez

[normal palm]

no they know the moment you apply, how do you go through the internal hiring process without applying?

[whole berry]

so then ill have to give my interview the next day?

[dusty basin]

U talk to HM bruh

[vital meteor]

You dm manager on slack

[normal palm]

HM does jack LOL

[dusty basin]

K bro

[normal palm]

you can get so far as to "land" an interview in amazon without letting your manager know

[whole berry]

goddamn

[normal palm]

but moment you get that interview then your manager will know

[whole berry]

thats hort notice af

[dusty basin]

Cap

[vital meteor]

No

[normal palm]

bruh

[vital meteor]

They only find out when you hit apply

[dusty basin]

Manager is only notified when u formally apply

[normal palm]

yeah

i just finished my internship at amazon i think i know how this works lol

[dusty basin]

Yeah u interview with manager and team informally

[static moth]

💀

[vital meteor]

You can interview before you hit apply

[dusty basin]

We work at Amazon at ftes lol

[normal palm]

exactly, you can linkedin msg the HM if yo uwant

[dusty basin]

That’s what he just said. You message them on slack

[normal palm]

oh that's why you seem familiar

[dusty basin]

And set up an interview

[vital meteor]

I just went through this process lmao

[normal palm]

ye

[static moth]

holy gg nah that was a crazy comeback

[normal palm]

did you read what i said tho?

lol

full time engineers

[vital meteor]

Yea I had an interview with diff manager today

[dusty basin]

Tony Bro I’m telling u. Notjohn is switching day 1

[normal palm]

i didnt say you couldnt

[pallid kernel]

why do the offices fill up so fast

its insane

[normal palm]

maybe

[pallid kernel]

idk all the ones where ppl are getting a location switch

[normal palm]

i got inclined by manager, PM, skip, mentor

[pallid kernel]

im worried now because if they switch my location i cant accept the offer

im not sure

[sinful tendon]

it’s a switch to a new job with a location attached so they can write the offer

[pallid kernel]

oh

[sinful tendon]

it’s not filled lmao

[pallid kernel]

i dont think it is, i mean all the postings ive seen in this server have had people getting their location switched so thats why im worried that its super common

[sinful tendon]

the switch is part of the process

[dusty basin]

There will be a spot for u when I get pipped

Dw

[vital meteor]

Imagine declining and they get filled

[pallid kernel]

that sounds super scary

[dusty basin]

There’s no guarantee u get offer again tbh

[silk cape]

You can decline and get a new offer if you get a new grad offer?

[sinful tendon]

big maybe

[dusty basin]

It’s a 50-50 shot

[normal palm]

potentially

[static moth]

doubt it. i got my 1x30 invite last week

[pallid kernel]

same

[silk cape]

for intern to full time conversion they got rid of the decline to get the offer, you just get 2 offers instead

[pallid kernel]

but also theres no way im moving across the country fuck that

[plush fossil]

has anyone got the second offer yet tho

i havent gotten a second one yet

[normal palm]

big dubs

[static moth]

ya scheduled but waiting for confirmation. and ty

[silk cape]

i submitted the new one 8/12 still waiting

[pallid kernel]

even that is too long, i'd be away from my fiance and family/friends :(

[dusty basin]

Professional life do be a bitch

[normal palm]

that's kinda sketch that they'd take that long to get back to you 👀

[silk cape]

only a few people heard back so far so I'm hoping I can still get nyc 🤞

[normal palm]

@pulsar mural

[rain patio]

is that yakhub?

[normal palm]

the one and only

[rain patio]

serious question: if i graduate dec 2023 should i still apply to full-time?

[normal palm]

i mean it wont hurt to

[rain patio]

on blind the poll said 50-50 😢

[normal palm]

idk of anyone that hires all the way till dec 2023 tho

[pallid kernel]

i heard amazon hires 200 years in advance

[normal palm]

i can confirm

[rain patio]

i'm banned from amazon

for rejecting return

i even got a buddy to refer me - still no phones

[surreal shuttle]

I did not get this 😩

[static moth]

me neither

[surreal shuttle]

You also have an 1x30?

[static moth]

yup

[wind drum]

nah definitely apply to summer 2023 internships instead, then apply full time that fall

[normal palm]

i swear frosty has every big tech offer in the bag already

[frank hawk]

its okay im in the same boat

[normal palm]

and it's only august loool

[frank hawk]

p sure most people who filled out the survey last monday are all waiting still

[static moth]

but even tho i didnt get perfect on oa1 they gave me 1x30 bruh lmao

[normal palm]

nicee

wait wth LOL

damnn

are you LCing rn?

[static moth]

nah not rlly

[raw wing]

[normal palm]

zon lowball?

oh i see

yeah pretty much gotta use existing offers for leverage see how high we can get

[raw wing]

Who r u worried abt

U can dm me if u want

[simple elk]

I've heard about Zon not interviewing people and just giving offer to people who rejected return and left the company they went to instead after <1 year

I could be smoking reefer tho

We're desperate

[dusty basin]

At same level

[normal palm]

Is zon’s hiring bar dropping 🤔

[dusty basin]

With same tc

[dusty basin]

They hired me so yes

[simple elk]

Ye i worked there

[normal palm]

Same

[pallid kernel]

i hope so

cuz i got asked a leetcode easy

[simple elk]

I got minstack as my intern question

• interviewer stayed late

[pallid kernel]

i got merge two linked lists as my new grad question

[normal palm]

In oa?

[pallid kernel]

interview

yeah i’ll worry about getting PIPed later rn i just need to get in

under review, reaching day 3 soon

[jovial dust]

It’s always day 1 at zon. Iykyk

[simple elk]

If you've reached day 3 its already over

[pallid kernel]

nooo

oh my god

[simple elk]

Day 1 -> Zon, Day 2 -> after Zon, Day 3 -> Abyss

[abstract monolith]

Under review day 5 time

[prime palm]

anyone have info on SIG office locations, TC?

[hasty birch]

10% now according to a deleted Blind post

[rain patio]

since when do you call it zon

[wispy ember]

does anyone know if google is doing “virtual” onsite interviews?

[knotty folio]

There needs to be a LMGTFY but for levels lol

[prime palm]

hmm

philidelphia

150-180k

not bad

guess i shouldn't have thrown the OA

[knotty folio]

Philly is struggling with a massive amount of gun violence rn. But 150k is a lot given its pretty LCOL

[prime palm]

guess it's ok i threw the OA

[prime palm]

to be fair, i looked up 'SIG' on levels

not

susquehannah international group

lmfao

[knotty folio]

oh lmao yeah I made the same mistake

[prime palm]

yeah so ligma balls

jk

[rain patio]

I guess I should probably ask in here too since most people in #2022_grads probably graduated in the Fall. Has anyone here done the technical interview for Apple's AI/ML rotational program? Curious what is was like!

talking about this one
https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/200386977/ai-ml-rotation-program-winter-2023

[fickle bridge]

So I just took the practice one and got 849 without looking anything up. Do you think I am safe or is the practice one much easier then what the real one will be like?

[floral plank]

Codesignal are rng

[frank wedge]

“Not bad”, that’s king shit in Philly lol. Also gun violence is bad but most stuff happens is block vs block violence, so if you’re making that amount you’re not going to deal much with that since you won’t live next to it

[fickle bridge]

Yea probably a good idea.

I was actually surprised my brain worked on that last question, it was one of those find all products kind of question but they want you to solve in O(n)

[azure zephyr]

ummmm

has anybody gotten an amazon offer like two weeks after their final?

[dire yarrow]

no only rejects happen after 2 weeks

you're rejected

jk jk

hope you get offer tho

[fickle bridge]

MEAN

[whole berry]

bro got the hiring managers fighting in the conference room on whether or not they should hire you

[azure zephyr]

bc i just did and i really think its a mistake 😭😭😭😭

im so shocked

[dire yarrow]

congrats!

[fickle bridge]

oooh congrats!!

[azure zephyr]

lets go!!!

[whole berry]

OH SHIT

UGOT OFFER?

[azure zephyr]

ty guys

[whole berry]

do the victory lap in the process and update it

[azure zephyr]

seattle too!!!

[whole berry]

bruh RNG WONNNNN

[dire yarrow]

[whole berry]

hey man youll get your turn but let bro revel in the win

[azure zephyr]

honestly probably about to get drunk asf

youll get it homie trust

[whole berry]

absolutely poggers

[whole berry]

what was the final like? 1x30 or 2x60 ?

[dire yarrow]

No. You'll get OA when you stop caring about it lmao

focus on other companies too.

theres not just 1 company.

yea

[azure zephyr]

2x60, LC mediums & LP

[dire yarrow]

that's not true

but a lot of them do

[whole berry]

nice nice

[azure zephyr]

vodka soda with a splash of cranberry

[dire yarrow]

you need to optimize your resume and do the best on interviews

most of the apps aren't even opened yet

peak time will be october. You'll have an interview every 2-3 days

yea focus on applying.

and don't fixate on a single company.

The biggest lesson I learnt last season was that your offers will always be unexpected.

I was tweaking real hard for bb, meta, tried really hard, did so many leetcode, never got them.

I never expected getting google, I was calm and confident, got it

[neat shore]

Is Amazon on a hiring freeze. I applied on Aug 10 but still haven’t got OA

[dire yarrow]

I was actually really sad about meta reject

but it worked out pretty well for me ig.

[nocturne oriole]

The biggest lesson I learnt last season was that only the most handsome people get offers.
So I went to the gym, deleted social media, and grew a few inches.

[dire yarrow]

Season hasn't even started yet y'all will be fine

[whole berry]

if everytime i saw this question id get an inch on my dick id be in space by now

[nocturne oriole]

he didn't apply to jobs
jobs applied to him

[neat shore]

New on this discord sorry if repeating

[dire yarrow]

Got what?

[whole berry]

[winter thistle]

new grad szn anxiety kicking in

[whole berry]

dude youre telling me

i already graduated in june

[winter thistle]

would rather do 6 hft level interviews than a fucking codesignal because atleast during the interview you can reason stuff out with the interviewer

fucking hate codesignal

the CEO has a codesignal score of 760

why hasn't he been rejected yet‼️⁉️‼️⁉️

Thinking of sacrificing my roomate for an Amazon OA

[winter thistle]

ay bruh stop stealing my pfp 😦

[winter thistle]

Amazon OA questions are very similar to the Amazon LC Premium pack

Source: did it 3 times before I got accepted by Amazon 🥰

[smoky lodge]

I know

[rain patio]

does anyone know cisco tc?

[smoky lodge]

But I need to get sent an OA first

[floral plank]

Look on levels

[smoky lodge]

I think it’s 120k-ish but I’m not sure

[rain patio]

couldnt find anything on new grad NYC tc

thank u @smoky lodge

[smoky lodge]

Also I feel like levels can be a bit scuffed since the variance in TC based on location can be massive but the data they have can be surprisingly incomplete

[peak ferry]

no data on levels, but most companies pay bay area and NYC the same, so ~120 sounds abt right

[winter thistle]

Levels has no verification process

[peak ferry]

levels is unverified, but actually the data has been pretty accurate ime

[smoky lodge]

I didn’t say inaccurate I just said incomplete

Most of the stuff I’ve seen has been a bit higher which makes sense since offers increases overtime

[winter thistle]

Sacrificing Block/Square for the infinite Codesignal GCA links

[rain patio]

did google new grad open for applications?

[peak ferry]

it was open for like a week but is not currently open. supposedly it may or may not open for a short period again later, but nobody really knows afaik

[rain patio]

oh thank you

[smoky lodge]

Ok here’s my new flavor of copium

[rain patio]

I am usually quite lazy when it comes to applying but this time I wanna be disciplined and focused

[smoky lodge]

A rando on Reddit says Amazon sends out most of their OAs on Wednesdays. I applied last week on Thursday. I’m going to get an OA tmrw

[rain patio]

I applied to Microsoft with referal

does referal help for amazon?

[winter thistle]

I made a Notion table to track processes at companies I will be applying to

[smoky lodge]

No it hurts

[rain patio]

lol

[rain patio]

I'll do that too

I just made a notion account today

[winter thistle]

Referral or not, you will still need to do

OAs

[rain patio]

yep

[winter thistle]

And final interviews

[rain patio]

yes we do

[smoky lodge]

OAs are kinda fun tbh

[rain patio]

september is when most application portals open up right?

[smoky lodge]

I enjoy OAs

[winter thistle]

Yes!

[smoky lodge]

I will miss OAs

[rain patio]

sadist

[floral plank]

It is fun when you get a full score

[rain patio]

[smoky lodge]

*masochist

Do you even S and M bro

[rain patio]

yeah haha

[rain patio]

lol

Mashallah

[winter thistle]

There's a good

Notion template

That I'm using

[rain patio]

did u make it?

[raw wing]

time 2 apply

[winter thistle]

No

[raw wing]

its built in

[winter thistle]

Yes

[rain patio]

oh gotcha

[winter thistle]

Mashallah

[rain patio]

@winter thistle do you tailor your resume to different SWE apps

or same same for all

[winter thistle]

no

Now

[hasty birch]

how long after applying do ppl get an invitation for Palantir karat?

[winter thistle]

It's just the same

[rain patio]

cause I spammed all keywords anyway

in my resume

[winter thistle]

I'm waiting till September so I can put my fall internship on my resume 😔

For the extra ATS hits

[azure zephyr]

the urge to withdraw all my apps bc i have amazon offer is so strong

its like senioritis but new grad version

[rain patio]

do it

[winter thistle]

don't 😦

Use it to

Expedite interview processes at other companies

[raw wing]

just put incoming

[azure zephyr]

yeah i'm going to use it for negotiating if i get anything else, not gonna lie amazon wlb horror stories scare me

[vital meteor]

Just yolo interview if you want no need to lc anymore

[azure zephyr]

i hope microsoft starts reaching out soon that's my top pick

[vital meteor]

Amazon wlb depends on your team/manager

If you get a bad team just switch teams

[azure zephyr]

are you at amazon rn? how easy is it transfer

[vital meteor]

It depends on the team hm, the one I talked to is 30 minute behavioral interview

But its pretty ez to transfer

[azure zephyr]

oh okay cool that's reassuring! thanks

[gray niche]

man im so conflicted, amazon in LCOL or linkedin (don't have an offer yet but going to grind hard for return) in HCOL like obviously linkedin has btr wlb and stuff but that amzn LCOL salary is kinda nuts

[surreal shuttle]

Which location?

[surreal shuttle]

Linkedin duh

[hasty birch]

Linkedin ez

[gray niche]

i mean the LCOL is atlanta

so its not like mid of nowhere lol

sf

linkedin pays ng like around 215k i believe

[pallid kernel]

i heard amazon sends a rejection email 1-2 days after interview, anyone else had that experience

[gray niche]

someone above got an offer 2 weeks out don't give up

[lapis cove]

nah this aint it

[azure zephyr]

seattle

[lapis cove]

I prefer this calculation for looking at those offers, cuz its not like ur gonna be buying a house as a new grad

https://www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/comments/s2b1iy/200k_tc_equivalencies_based_on_location/

[azure zephyr]

i'm from atl and while its a cool city if youre rly trying to job hop a lot in big tech i would go to linkedin

[lapis cove]

whats linkedin TC?

[simple elk]

Do you like Atl/have you been?

[gray niche]

linkedin TC is 215

[lapis cove]

yea i think tbh tc is roughly equivalent for those col

maybe leaning towards amzn a bit

[dire yarrow]

I wanna put this in mycode base

i -= -1

[lapis cove]

but not nearly as drastic as that calcualtor suggests

[dire yarrow]

lool

[gray niche]

Yes I like ATL but @azure zephyr makes a good point as soon as i leave amzn it would be easier to already be in bay area

[lapis cove]

so therefore id pick linkedin you'll def have a better time and gain more resume value

[gray niche]

this is cool that nerdwallet website is a bit overexaggerated

[simple elk]

Not necessarily, more potential for impact in zon sweatshop

[gray niche]

-= -(0!)

[dire yarrow]

[lapis cove]

maybe team dependent, didnt seem like itd be possible to have strong impact as a new grad on the team i interned on there

[simple elk]

I was generalizing as a whole its all team dependent at the end of the day. My impression is msft companies are a bit sleepier/slower paced

[hexed moth]

[hexed moth]

this is such an insane post

people acting like having 70k+ disposable income is bad

rather not enough

[gray niche]

No one online is ever happy

[hexed moth]

u can max out ur roth with that

and do all the other normal shit and still havel ike 50k a year lmfao

[gray niche]

The post isn't super accurate though because this "other spending" would differ based on where you live because some thing are just less expensive than they are in cali

[hexed moth]

mhm

[gray niche]

oh well i'll sleep on it

[hexed moth]

tbh

reading ur posts

id do atl

but also i just want to avoid california at all costs

i had such a terrible time there

[vital meteor]

Y

[elder hull]

@dire yarrow

[dire yarrow]

[hexed moth]

There was a lot of stuff, personally I thought driving was absolute hell (ATL isn't much better lmao)

[simple elk]

fwiw I just ran the numbers with the 18k other assumption and ~180 in DEN = ~225 in SF and I'm pretty sure ATL is cheaper than DEN. And thas assuming "other spending in ATL isn't < SF which it prolly is)

[simple elk]

ATL driving makes me want to KMS

[hexed moth]

I think I just met people I really didn't like when it comes down to it

I had shitty luck with the pole studio, and didn't like the people at the climbing gym I went to when I was in cali

[rustic vessel]

What part of cali?

[smoky lodge]

where are you getting this from

[gray niche]

pretty sure you can do this with a lot of things and get the same results

[smoky lodge]

i don't doubt the results i just want to see where you're getting it from

so that i don't have to calculate

[simple elk]

"Cost of gas Atlanta", "Cost of gas SF"

[simple elk]

I don't think anyone actually calculated

Its just good to keep in mind the relative cost of thinks

[smoky lodge]

i want a website where i can put in an income and then see how much is disposable based on area

that would be incredibly useful

[gray niche]

make it

[simple elk]

Like you'll pay more at restaurants, for groceries, and for gas if you have a car in Cali cities or NYC than other places

Yeah thats why i said if

probably need one in SF but that does compensate costs in NYC a bit

if you do want a car in NYC tho beware of 600/mo parking spots

Only if you stay downtown

SF downtown is great I've heard but the bay area driving is still almost required

required as much as it is anywhere else in the country that is

You can still get by in other places. LIke I lived in Denver and only used my car to drive to the mountains on the weekend. bike/transit for everything else

it was great, but still doesn't compare to nyc

Yeah just live close to downtown

which is doable for less than NYC rent in mediumish cities

[low scroll]

nah bro I have to disagree with SF

its a very accessible place with public transit

bart, caltrain, muni

[surreal shuttle]

Please post the website

[low scroll]

yes

[smoky lodge]

what do i look like a swe????

[simple elk]

I could be talking out my ass I haven't been. I'm just a bit of a nerd for city design/transit so i read about it. And looking at maps the larger area seems pretty spread out

plus reading articles about companies providing shuttles for their employees who can't afford to live near office

[low scroll]

the city itself is pretty accessible, but if you want to go outside the city, car is needed

[peak ferry]

but a looot of stuff is outside of the city

[simple elk]

Yeah thats what i was trying to say. RIP if it didn't come across

[low scroll]

yeah true

[peak ferry]

SF city itself is nice enough has narrow streets and such for the most part, but I also don't actually go to the city much

[low scroll]

yeah its pretty walkable

[upper meteor]

Did anyone have the makePowerNonDecreasing question for their amazon OA?

[low scroll]

just dont go out at night by yourself

[hexed moth]

I was in LA

[peak ferry]

LA is the worst city fuck LA

[hexed moth]

honestly what really bothered me about LA was this shitty fucking pole studio that told me they wouldn't let me take classes because I was a man lmfao

[low scroll]

with that being said NYC is probably a better option than SF if you're gonna rely on public transit

[simple elk]

lots of jobs are actually in this circle too

[hexed moth]

when it said absolutely nowhere that it was women only

[peak ferry]

wait is that mine or did you just make that LOL

I posted smth v similar a while back, no bart v fun

[simple elk]

jsut made lol

[low scroll]

cal train helps a bit on that side, but need a car really

[peak ferry]

fr most jobs not actually in the city

in like mtv/san jose sprawl

[simple elk]

Almost the whole circle is suburbs car required type beat

[gray niche]

https://www.nerdwallet.com/cost-of-living-calculator

[hexed moth]

man i want a city with a fucking train

[peak ferry]

COL calculators I've seen are kinda bad because they do a flat % adjustment which isn't really how it works

[simple elk]

Also assume buying house

[peak ferry]

I've never lived in a city proper so no idea. planning on moving to chicago and I'm kinda sad cuz I like walking at night

but I also like not getting mugged

11pm-3am kek

[gray niche]

Honestly, that just depends on where you are in chicago I walked around late asf at night multiple times

okay not that late

[hexed moth]

dawg when ur waking up when ur taking walks that late

[peak ferry]

I'll be the sacrifice to make cities safe at night

[peak ferry]

ayo what's good in chicago? I know nothing about the area but high likelihood I'm gonna move there soon lol

[simple elk]

ok batman

[peak ferry]

not cool like batman, more like found bleeding out cuz I didn't want to give them my wallet with $5 in it

[gray niche]

im not from chicago I just visit a lot i like the night life a lot compared to houston and dallas texas but that cold temp + wind is way too much for my texan heart

[peak ferry]

good to know, any neighborhoods in specific with a good nightlife/neighborhoods that are a good place to live?

was looking in south loop just bc it's near work

[late kestrel]

i was in the west loop this past summer and came back late many times. that area, especially towards morgan/madison is very safe

river north area is expensive but also has great night life

[peak ferry]

ight sounds good

I'm coming from bay area COL so rent in chicago looks dirt cheap to me

[gray niche]

i second that i love river north night life

[late kestrel]

as far as close to the city, south loop is defo the sketchy area. there are worse away from the city ofc

[late kestrel]

for sure. even up to old town is great

[peak ferry]

oof unfortunate the apts looks p nice, but ig I'm wiling to shell out extra to be closer to night life/in a safer area

[late kestrel]

i know lots of grads end up in the lincoln park area. cheap and fairly safe

i was looking at wicker park if i end up in chicago again

west loop is probably out of my budget, its so damn expensive

[peak ferry]

oof that's a bit far out-- I was trying to stay in a walking radius to my workplace

[late kestrel]

yeah thats fair... walking 15m to work was so nice... gonna miss that for sure

[peak ferry]

west loop/river north/south loop prob the only places I'm gonna look then

it's not that far south in south loop so maybe it's still OK lol

[late kestrel]

yeah its mostly fine. my gf was near the roosevelt station so i was there pretty frequently. theres just constantly a shit ton of cops

always something happening

[peak ferry]

hey that's probably better than there being no cops and shit going down lol

also shoot west loop too far to walk, tho v nice on transit

[late kestrel]

is your building gonna be in the south of the loop?

[peak ferry]

I think it's just in the "loop" idk Chicago neighborhoods v well-- it's super close to the art institute

[late kestrel]

oh yeah gotcha the opposite side of the west loop 😂

[peak ferry]

yup

there are a handful of places actually in the loop but I was told it's basically a business district and kinda dead at night

[late kestrel]

oh for sure the loop is literally a ghost town after dark

[smoky lodge]

manifesting amazon OA

[peak ferry]

hm yea river north area seems like the more expensive area lol

[vast mica]

can anybody tell me the best approach to study for palantir decomp ? I understand a few things from system design but not much to clear it. Can anybody pls help or tell bow they learned ?

[low scroll]

never been to NYC but I'm assuming around same level of danger

or maybe a bit more cause NYC stays alive, but SF gets lonely at night

[weak latch]

uhhh what is this email from cap one wtf

is this normal

oh?

today was the deadline for codesignal and i didn't actually take a new one to submit 💀

i think they just automatically yoinked my old codesignal i did for them 6 months ago

a 725 lol

ayyy

im trying to look and see if i got something like this

ok yeah last time i got resume rejected/oa rejected and i didn't get an email with that info

big W then!

[pearl rose]

cap1 is heavily backlogged for some reason with powerday

people are getting them scheduled for november

[inner prawn]

I remember powerday being unbelievably cringe

[vast rock]

Lol

Im pretty sure capitalone just wants 700+

My codesignal glitched. I took a codesignal for c1 under a different account a year ago for intern

Got 703

(Note i didnt care for it cuz i had meta already was doing it for fun hence the different email)

I applied under my real email this year

Somehow mf capitalone merged my accounts from my name or some shit

And decided to auto reuse old score

But i got power day invite anyway

LOL

Literally this year i was just trying to use c1 codesignal invite to get a good codesignal score

Mf didnt work

[winter thistle]

Cap One

Cap Many

Too much cap

[weak latch]

can confirm

[inner prawn]

You can get sub 700 and still get a powerday

[weak latch]

@vast rock THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME BRO

literally word for word

exact same thing

i got a 725 back in the spring

[inner prawn]

They basically ask the same 2 questions every time

[weak latch]

wdym

[inner prawn]

Behavioral was a joke of an interview

And the case study is total rng

[weak latch]

so is cap1 ez offer with 2+ months to prep 😂

[inner prawn]

They have a bank of like 3 coding questions, they’ll give you 2 of those

[pearl rose]

think new grad for cap1 will be tough this year lol

seems like everyone getting power day

im surprised they upped offers tho kinda crazy

[inner prawn]

You’ve pretty much got to ace all 3 interviews I think for this year, emphasis on case study

[vast rock]

Lmaoo

Im slightly annoyed now that i dont get second chances for codesignal this year

[pearl rose]

salesforce return offers come out next week 🙏 🙏

[vast rock]

My game plan was to keep applying to capitalone with different email to keep retaking codesignal till i get an ideal codesignal score for roblox hrt and etc

Then mf capitalone glitched and used old score and merged all my emails

Heck I actually have to be careful with capitalone now

[winter thistle]

show up

that's all you gotta do basically 😂

[winter thistle]

eat banana

[serene fable]

I'm worried I'm gonna choke on the behavioral section or forget about my oa

[hasty birch]

there likely wont be behavioral

[serene fable]

How screwed am I if I don't remember my oa solution?

[hasty birch]

if you solved it already you can certainly walk through it again

[serene fable]

Hopefully, I don't remember it being difficult but I'm worried about choking and giving a bad solution or something

[hasty birch]

theyll literally show you your solution

[split plaza]

is it a bad idea to apply to Waymo roles that don’t have a YoE requirement but aren’t explicitly new grad

[hasty birch]

all you have to do is explain it

[serene fable]

Thanks, wasn't sure of that

Should probably be fine then

[sly owl]

Why is yours NYC?

[alpine loom]

which companies use codesignal (besides c1, hrt, and roblox)? just wanna use that all round for oa portion

[lilac siren]

They don't have new grad roles, so we can apply for the roles without the YOE requirements. My contact from Waymo can confirm that.

[split plaza]

perfect thanks

[inner prawn]

just apply?

what do you think is gonna happen

theyll just ghost or reject you

if you get an interview, awesome

[sonic coral]

well not all parts

[split plaza]

that’s fair ig

[inner prawn]

I always recommend to just spam apply

it's a numbers game

sometimes the YOE stuff is just a soft requirement

[winter thistle]

Samsara uses Codesignal

Who else here blacklisted by JP Morgan Chase?

[smoky lodge]

If I wake up tomorrow and don’t have an OA I’m declaring war on Jeff Bozo

[gilded vortex]

I thought they usually go out on mondays

[smoky lodge]

some rando on reddit said wednesday

let me cope

[wary pollen]

Did you guys get a confirmation email from Cisco after completing their OA?

[spice kestrel]

Anyone else having issues uploading their pdf resume to a greenhouse app link?

Got an offer from a huge automobile company at Texas for machine learning engineer with a bachelor degree, is this a fair package?

Base: 110000$
No stock
10000$ sign-on bonus
And benefits that most big tech have

[winter loom]

anyone know what to expect for the palantir HR call?

[late kestrel]

for a non tech company in texas that seems pretty solid

[smoky lodge]

i just bombed the citadel OA

I got the first question

but then could only get like half the test cases for the second one since my code was too slow for the other half

rip

[smoky lodge]

I don’t even think it was that hard of an OA, especially for an HFT

Fml

I might just withdraw/quit all my HFT apps

I am a scrub

[peak bluff]

when applying to Amazon, they ask "Have you previously applied to Amazon or any Amazon subsidiary or affiliate?"

should I just say yes and type Amazon?

I mean they can see that it's not my first application to them, so what's the point?

[weak latch]

Well yeah if you’ve applied to amazon before say yes

[rain patio]

does anyone know what codesignal score is good enough for sig?

[high ermine]

what's the minimum score to get a call back from cap1 after codesignal ??

[rain patio]

Awesome, thanks man 🙂

[bronze estuary]

It’s ok. I passed all test cases and got rejected lol

[peak bluff]

does it help to reapply with different accounts to the same job on Amazon?

[smoky lodge]

Even if I get far into the process with HFTs I literally barely remember C++

So I think I’m screwed regardless

[bronze estuary]

Did you interview or get OA from Uber yet?

[smoky lodge]

Ok realistically speaking

In the current environment

[smoky lodge]

Haven’t most apps for the large FAANG style companies and unicorns that will actually hire new grads this year already opened

[vague furnace]

Dang, well looks like there won’t be any return interns now 😬

[smoky lodge]

Isn’t twitter not profitable

Like they have to fund themselves and hire people via equity and issuing stock

In the current market that’s not sustainable or viable anymore

So boom, don’t expect to see new grad Twitter positions and if there are expect headcount to be low

[vague furnace]

Yep. I mean snap just laid so many people off, they’re probably not going to hire interns/new grads. Same with Twitter and other social media giants.

[smoky lodge]

And that’s what I’m saying

[vague furnace]

I’m hoping we see a change early next year, in January.

[night magnet]

I don’t understand basic econ so I don’t get why this is happening

What do interest rates have to do w the market crashing

[teal jackal]

all i know that our job economy is not as good as the past

[night magnet]

Yeah same… maybe it has to do with inflation? Idk

[smoky lodge]

when interest rates go up taking out loans gets more expensive because (duh) the interest rate is higher

no if the company isn't profitable that means that they have to finance operation via either taking on debt or issuing shares of stock

and since 1) debt is more expensive due to higher interest rates and 2) the stock market is a shit show right now

they can't finance as easily which means they're not going to higher as many people

and how much debt

[teal jackal]

why cant we just go back to having an unhealthy rate of hiring for another year
lets screw over c/o 2024 instead and give us more crazy job growth

[smoky lodge]

ok look, twitter isn't necessarily the best example
but it's basically undeniable that a large part of why being a SWE has been amazing the past 10+ years
is the fact that we've both 1) had basically 0% interest rates and 2) been in the greatest bull market in history

of course

[teal jackal]

proud to graduate into the tech industry's first bear market in over a decade
"it builds character"

[smoky lodge]

but 200k starting TC from random startup #575474

say adios

say adios

nope

[teal jackal]

things are already changing

[surreal shuttle]

Paper money

[smoky lodge]

like i hate to break this to you but unless you're a brain surgeon you're compensation is completely at the mercy
of market forces you have literally 0 control over

[surreal shuttle]

But atleast i am sure startups are much more fun

[sick trellis]

Where can i find small startups paying this????? 😅

[smoky lodge]

it's not

[teal jackal]

nah tech market has never been this bad in a long time

the bar is going up since its gonna only get more competitive

with fewer openings

[smoky lodge]

the demand is high relative to the supply in general
but do you seriously think that places like FAANGs or startups have a supply issue in that it's hard for them find workers

no that's r*tarded

[teal jackal]

shit, tbh graduating in cs between 2010-2020 must be like living in the 1950s and shit
endless money for an ez life

[smoky lodge]

no bruh

[teal jackal]

supply?

nah new grads like us are OVERSATURATED

[smoky lodge]

^^^

not for FAANGs dumbasss

[teal jackal]

there are thousands of people better than all 3 of us combined in achievements and skills

[smoky lodge]

which is what im saying

Google gets 2 million applications a year

i like how you're basically conflating a job at a FAANG with the market average SWE

[teal jackal]

but we're all gunning for the best of jobs
at the top it gets super competitive

being good isnt gonna be enough

especially now

[smoky lodge]

and then using this to say demand is high when you literally don't seem to understand econ 101

[teal jackal]

once again, all 3 of our brains put together still wouldn't pass resume screening for some companies.

[slim mortar]

bruh wtf is this market

[simple elk]

Part of the 150 is paper stonks

[slim mortar]

all roles have reduced headcount

[teal jackal]

^

[slim mortar]

i have 4 offers now that got fucking bombed due to low headcount

[teal jackal]

saying that entry level SWEs are in demand is a massive cope

yeah this doesnt apply for entry level new grad
suppose a majority of cs majors are clueless, that still leaves you with a metric fuckton of genius ones

[vast rock]
