I got cucked by my skip manager

gilded dust
#

What were your mistakes?

low scroll
#

4 weeks till I find out about returns

teal jackal
#

Letting things like bad documentation and poorly defined goals act as blockers for me

gilded dust
#

That sucks tho :/

teal jackal
#

I should have set more goals for myself rather than expecting my mentor to help me with it

#

And ask questions

#

And shit

gilded dust
#

I have really well defined goals (my host made me an amazing chart with month 1, 2, 3 goals and stretch goals) and a lot of documentation to read! Documentation is really good here, just a lot to learn

teal jackal
#

Speak up when you realize you're falling behind

#

Having well defined goals is good and important

#

Git gud at scoping out goals for yourself

Good point @old smelt

teal jackal
#

WHy DONT I GET EMAILS FOR INTERVIEW REQUESTS

ALL I GET ARE AUTOMATED EMAILS FROM MY UNI

#

12 to 16 weeks is not a long time, you gotta plan em out well

gilded dust
#

I have two projects 💀

teal jackal
#

Sooner you get the ball rolling the better

gilded dust
#

Hope I can finish my first one fast so I can move on to main one 😵🌊🌊

How's the careers chat

gilded dust
#

Yeah but on the bright side we will get stocks at a lower price 😆

teal jackal
#

I left until I can start hearing back at companies and get interviews

gilded dust
#

Just gotta find a job first lmao

jovial dust
#

Which company @gilded dust

gilded dust
#

I’m at google rn

teal jackal
#

Damn son

#

Google is gud

#

I wanna get into google

gilded dust
#

But apparently, there is full headcount for every intern to get a return offer 😄

teal jackal
#

No idea how resume screening works for goog

gilded dust
#

Google takes early career really seriously 🤌🎉

teal jackal
gilded dust
#

No, they are giving them out like usual! headcount not affected by recession lmao

teal jackal
#

Tbh I feel like there's so many applicants out there for jobs that have infinitely better experiences and knowledge than me.

I honestly wouldn't be fazed if I couldn't get a single interview out of 15 companies I've applied to, since I'm aiming very high.

smoky lodge
#

Is anyone else’s experience with code signal that the first two are trivial, the 4th one is ok, and then the 3rd one is WazowskiStare

gilded dust
#

Yeah, google is 🫶. everyone at google is so smart, respectful, and supportive as well.

teal jackal
#

You can get an okay score

gilded dust
#

@fossil haven yeah! Definitely like google way more 😄 I feel like it’s on a different tier

#

But just my opinion 😄

smoky lodge
#

Like the 3rd question on the code signal I took was so much harder than the other 3 that I thought I was getting trolled

pallid kernel

no portal update, wbu

# teal jackal How low are your expectations for this year? Tbh I'm not optimistic for myself

Tbh, I got pretty low expectations for this year. My plan is to take the first offer I get that will allow me to not starve and afford rent. But I’ll keep interviewing and renege if I get a significantly better offer. In the meantime the study plan is to grind leetcode, grind until I get an 820 CodeSignal, and cold email everyone I can. Think the key will be just focusing on what I can control ya know

abstract monolith
#

Or Canada intern

smoky lodge
pallid kernel
#

yeah i saw the americans getting offers

teal jackal
#

My mentor was weird since he felt detached from the whole thing

gilded dust
#

@teal jackal smh they are probably using this mentorship as a part of promo packet

thick shell
teal jackal
#

Yeah I just had bad luck at Amazon

pallid kernel
#

gooddd

teal jackal
#

You're right strawberry

pallid kernel
#

im going to die of a heart attack if they delay it any longer

harsh ingot
#

where did you see that out of curiosity?

smoky lodge
#

If I don’t get an OA soon I’m gonna challenge Jeff to a boxing match

pallid kernel
#

a lot of people were posting that they got offers for USA locations

harsh ingot
#

i think all on reddit were intern offers

azure zephyr
#

im US, did the final two weeks ago and just got the offer yesterday

teal jackal
#

LinkedIn, right? That's what someone else said

azure zephyr
#

think theyre just behind or something

abstract monolith
#

Oh you know anyone who was rejected?

teal jackal
#

Clear cut rejects come quickly at Amazon

pallid kernel
#

well thats good news

#

but i dont want to get my hopes up

azure zephyr
#

they also have to place you and sometimes that can take some time

pallid kernel
#

ooh

#

for my other companies i've gotten an offer and then they place me on a team

azure zephyr
#

i meant location

teal jackal
#

Wow that's true

abstract monolith
#

I’m just hoping if I get it Amazon Toronto isn’t full

teal jackal
#

I will not say if you're more likely to get an offer or reject though, since I don't want to give you guys optimism and end in a reject

pallid kernel
gilded dust
#

Imagine a site where you can see reviews of amazon teams

teal jackal
#

But the clear cut reject wave is probably past you

pallid kernel
#

pls keep me at vancouver or i will throw hands

abstract monolith
#

Can you ask for remote at Amazon?

#

Anyone know?

gilded dust
#

@errant karma blind doesn’t show team ratings tho right? Just overall company rating

errant karma
#

yeah you are right

teal jackal
#

You can probably talk to someone who can see Amazon blind access

#

Pretty much every org and product has been talked about there probably

gilded dust
#

Yeah I heard Amazon has some chill orgs with good wlb

dusty basin
#

But also, most teams are wfh anyways so as long as ur manager is cool with it, no one cares

does cap 1 allow for negotiation

gilded dust
#

@bleak raven why are u even trying for cap 1 when u have msft

#

😂

bleak raven
#

actually got it for remote nyc dogesmile

#

i interviewed with cap1 just to see if im worthy of a new grad offer

#

i hav imposter syndrome with this msft return offer

gilded dust

I don’t have impostor syndrome, I’m actually the imposter amongus

its like i felt like amazon was a fluke, since it was my only offer

#

who else DESPISES workday

#

piece of shit

#

takes like 15 min to fill out

knotty folio
#

why do I need to create a workday account for every company

teal jackal
#

ive yet to receive evidence, one way or another, that i am fine and don't need to worry about imposter syndrome

smoky lodge
#

Ngl there have been times where I just straight up didn’t apply somewhere because the application was on workday

#

and I couldn’t be asked

teal jackal
#

looking at adobe with this one

#

and their parser is mid

smoky lodge
#

You should be able to reuse workday applications I don’t understand

gilded dust
#

Business idea 💡💡

teal jackal
#

workday's application system is just lazily implemented

#

thats all

#

they literally could push this update tomorrow

#

true

#

i couldnt, but someone smarter than me could

#

im probably gonna be on bare minimum social interaction mode next fall, too stressed about economy and jobs to wanna touch grass

#

i guess this is how non-cs majors feel every year

#

dire yarrow
peak ferry
teal jackal
#

but im spoiled by amazon's pay expectation

#

a significant downgrade would just be really hard for me to swallow

#

even if amazon was a fluke

peak ferry
#

did u intern there or smth?

teal jackal
#

yeah

peak ferry
#

but yea unfortunately market is tough and you might have to grind harder to get a high paying job-- that intern exp will help tho

normal palm
#

this might be a very entitled opinion but zon's pay isn't that much

#

relative to it's workload

teal jackal
#

sup bonjour i remember u

#

we talked b4

normal palm
#

im gonna get a lot of hate for this LOL

teal jackal
#

did u finish amazon too?

peak ferry
#

wlb is ehhh, but pure comp wise they're the same as rest of FAANG which is to say p darn good

normal palm
#

yeah i just did an internship

#

got return

teal jackal
#

same

#

minus the return tho

normal palm

ouu rip

#

what happened?

dire yarrow

meta?

peak ferry
buoyant herald
#

coderquad pull requests got a page two 💀

teal jackal
# normal palm what happened?

me not knowing how to resolve blockers without bothering people to help(i tried self service and it didnt work for me),
mentor barely gave me goals for my project
skip manager barely knew me and vetoed my hire for new grad

#

If I either had better leadership, or if I had the wisdom I have now, I feel like I could do better.

normal palm
#

dang i see yeah it's very team dependent

#

well it's a great learning exp for u then

peak ferry
teal jackal
#

yeah, direct manager goes through bar raiser

#

bar raiser aka skip manager

normal palm
#

ah i see

teal jackal
#

i trust that my direct manager vouched for me, but skip wasnt sold based on my code output

normal palm
#

yeah my skip manager was pretty nice, he set up social events for us like a baseball game, etc. so we could bond

teal jackal
#

i barely knew my skip

#

anyways, yeah i have the vibe that amazon employees are expected to put 120% into their job

peak ferry
#

lol I literally only met my skip once at the final project demo

teal jackal
#

tbh my plan for a social life was to buy a used miata after i graduate and make friends through autocross

#

i have good individual friends, but it doesnt add up to a group

normal palm
#

at least u have a wifey/kids lol

teal jackal
#

tbh i think im just a natural pessimist

#

i always see the worst in my personal situations

#

like i am lucid enough to understand my weaknesses but not smart enough to resolve them

normal palm
#

just need the right mentorship imo

#

my mentor and manager drilled it into me to always escalate when blocked

teal jackal
#

its only been 6 days since ive started applying
but i have the inkling that my applications arent strong enough relative to those who can regularly getting interviews

normal palm
#

im in the same boat and i have amazon and ibm lol

#

there are quite a few guys in here with like 5 internships at decently sized companies with crazy lc skills, ridiculous to compete with

teal jackal
#

i just cant for the life of me get an interview from a unicorn type companmy

#

couldnt last season

#

and i feel like itll be tough for me to this year

#

maybe in significant part due to recession

#

and job slowdown

static moth
#

this year especially is super tough

peak ferry
static moth
#

stripe, snap, twitch, meta, coinbase, robinhood, bolt, ramp, twitter, asana, plaid, sf, slack and so many more

#

all confirmed to not do new grad this year or are very likely to not do ng hiring

teal jackal
#

I might swallow reality and accept that I might get paid less than I did at amazon

#

tbh idk my problems either

#

I just know the area I'm failing in

low scroll
#

they had apps out a while ago

teal jackal
low scroll
#

no they had an external app

teal jackal
#

dont ask me why its out in the open

peak ferry
teal jackal
#

salesforce workday just has no idea what theyre doing

teal jackal
#

the slack app for internal employees is out in the open

peak ferry
#

like there are misc apps in the public where I I doubt they are hiring many (if any) people

#

if u assume they're not cap, they're probably just not hiring many people

teal jackal
#

they made the salesforce intern-only app for slack open to the public for some reason

static moth

no way splunk too? oh man

spice kestrel

stripe said no

#

plaid someone else mentioned that they arent doing ng

static moth

but they also hired twice as much

#

quants are all still hiring like crazy

old smelt
#

Nuro also won't be doing new grad, all headcount is filled by return interns

static moth
bronze nymph
#

google does have some sort of hiring freeze right now, so it's def not helping

peak ferry
#

yea G is def not normal

bronze nymph
#

i heard return interns wont know/have an offer in hand until much later this year

static moth
#

wont be surprised if companies like doordash, airbnb, dropbox, pinterest etc either reduce hiring for NG or dont take external NGs completely

#

its so scuffed

#

expected uber to be in that boat too but guess not

bronze nymph
#

yea same with many more too probably, brex, gusto, lyft etc etc

more time to prep i guess 😂

And i felt like that would be no bueno

no sys design, two technicals and two behaviorals

#

It's for your own protection 😜

lapis cove

one of the behaviorals is supposed to also be creative problem solving but apparently that doesnt happen sometimes

#

yea, theres an hour 15 minute break tho

so 1.5 hour technicals, break, 1 hour behaviorals

Karat is only easy/meds I'm pretty sure

Shouldn't be too bad

yea, its supposed to be the first 30 min behavioral, second 30 min is "values & creative problem solving" where u discuss an open ended problem

vast gyro

anyone think major freezes will be over by jan or will it get worse

lapis cove

but they just asked me behaviorals for the whole time and like halfway in i was like umm wheres my creative problem and the interviewer was like idk i wasnt told about that

#

idk any examples

Hell, the government is in full denial mode rn over the idea of a recession, and it's already this bad.

apparently untapped is pretty sussy

its a legal way for recruiters to confirm your race and gender

i beleive that theory since untapped does absolutely nothing that the application itself doesnt do

Why does roblox pay so much anyways?

cuz they make a lot of money from kids with their parents cc

Most game studios seem to be bad pay bad wlb bad culture idk why but it permeates most of the industry

lapis cove
#

cuz lots of ppl are very passionate about working on games

#

and therefore companies exploit that

dusky plover
#

cause games is a diff type of a beast of software monkaW

peak ferry

tru

lapis cove
#

yea and also the profit and development model of games lends itself to bad wlb

Except Roblox for some weird-ass reason

dusky plover
#

also game devs have no leverage b/c even if they quit there are tons of ppl lined up to take their jobs

ya idk why people get into game dev

I like games but I like money and being able to play games more than making em
