[slate bobcat]

[dense blaze]

Mf aren’t you at BB

[vague furnace]

has anyone not gotten their Amazon final scheduled? But got an email requesting your availability?

[quasi umbra]

Same situation for me

[gilded dust]

Citadel oa was lc medium/hards for me

[vague furnace]

I'm hoping i get a final scheduled soon, but I might ask if they consider a new availability for me.

[gilded dust]

I got lucky w rng but I’ll probably get ruined in citadel phone

[vague furnace]

yeah, i submitted my availability a week ago

[peak ferry]

I got a medium in the phone was pretty ok

[quasi umbra]

I submitted my availability on the 21st of August

[gilded dust]

@peak ferry did u get citadel offer!

[bleak raven]

[peak ferry]

nah still need to do finals where I will probably actually get clapped

[gilded dust]

Good luck!!

[bleak raven]

also on my main 💀

[gilded dust]

I heard citadel final is really rng, some ask pure leetcode, some ask really hard OS Trivia

[bleak raven]

they deleted all prev code signals of mine

im banned from codesignal

[peak ferry]

I've heard lots of things about their process are rng, yolo

[bleak raven]

i created 11 alt accounts

and took them until i got an 840+

[fresh lagoon]

[bleak raven]

[bleak raven]

#2023_summer message

i was using this strat 💀

[marble bronze]

Homie exploited the block thing too hard

[bleak raven]

bloom institute

[split plaza]

just deleted all my alts, your sacrifice was not in vain 😔

[blissful sonnet]

Block opened new grad apps?

[bleak raven]

no

its a codesignal link that can be spammed

[vast mica]

anybody knows what kind of LLD questions amazon asks ?

[cedar zodiac]

if a codesignal were to expire tomorrow, could you take it up on that day, or does it cut off right at midnight

[vast mica]

and Do they provide functions also, or its just like - design a vending machine

[raw wing]

LMAO

[green bronze]

Ur lucky u got off easy

[thick shell]

Whats adequate time? Like a day in between each new test?

[green bronze]

Was it really the same test for 11 times?

[bleak raven]

yes 💀

[green bronze]

Do companies choose the test?

[bleak raven]

good ol bloom institute of technology

[bleak raven]

yea

[thick shell]

I see

Cause I was about to spam the Bloom link too lmaoo

[gilded dust]

@bleak raven bruh are u blacklisted now

I’m crying this is so sad but funny

[bleak raven]

i can take a codesignal on my main account 2 days from now

lets see

YOOOOOoo

thats a good idea

[slate bobcat]

What’s the bloom link?

is this the new block?

👀

[bleak raven]

except my next expiration date is actually within 2 days 😭

[bleak raven]

yea

[slate bobcat]

yooo

I might need that link

Can you send it?

[floral plank]

Is Bloom the truth platform?

[paper anvil]

Amazon manager i know wants to put in a placement request for me, will that get my new grad offer rescinded? there's some language that says you can't reach out to teams for placement after accepting offer

[bleak raven]

NOOOOo

ull get banne

[rain patio]

just got an email that optiver filled their spots

yea ... idk if theyre trolling tho lol its so early

it might be that theyre not giving any more phones or something

or they just sent me the wrong rejection letter

[slate bobcat]

For real?

Even if I use it once?

[gilded dust]

@uncut epoch they do

[bleak raven]

i think codesignal knows its a sus link now cuz of me 💀

[slate bobcat]

[forest hatch]

Has amazon slowed down hiring

[smoky lodge]

my recruiter just told me that apparently amazon is done

[raw wing]

isnt amazon never done

[white escarp]

damn if amazon is done then its time to do a master degree

[split plaza]

there's absolutely no way lol

[smoky lodge]

Also yah I made that up

Get trolled

[peak ferry]

lmao ur super normal 50% of the time and complete troll other 50% no in between with you huh

[late kestrel]

my planet earth recruiter told me youre never getting a job @smoky lodge

[smoky lodge]

yes

[raw wing]

unironically funny but you shouldve doubled down

[smoky lodge]

probably

Would have been fun to see the tears but I have class

Adios

[late kestrel]

having class this late

[teal jackal]

It's 5pm not that bad

I start school again next Tuesday

Tbh excited

Im kinda rotting from sitting around trying to leet code and apply all day

[lament basin]

dat pfp lmfao

george bush in Albania suit?

[gilded vortex]

Just finished HRT and have a provisional 848 score too

so lets hope i get at least a phone interview lol

[floral plank]

I have classes at 9 pm

That is not late at all lol

[late kestrel]

are you taking adult classes or smthin

[teal jackal]

@split plaza fire username tbh

that was me at amazon

[weak latch]

bruhh i didn't realize that palantir karat had to be done within 7 days

i scheduled it for september 30th

[split plaza]

same

[weak latch]

now i gotta do it next week

with not as much prep

[teal jackal]

scheduled the karat for 30th?

damn thats far out

i heard that karat isnt that hard

allegedly

[weak latch]

yeah the karat

im scared bruh i feel underprepared so i wanted to push it far out

also bc i wanna prep for Gs stuff

[teal jackal]

i heard someone say once

youll never feel prepared

but tbh there are a lot of bases that i havent covered yet with leetcode prep

I need more time to study so i know as many types of problems as possible

[peak ferry]

I didn't feel prepared and passed interviews. but it's def a state I think is reachable, it just might be much more work than necessary

[teal jackal]

yeah tbh

rn id say tat if i was given an interview

id have a 40% chance of passing

passing = both problems right, optimal

[peak ferry]

ay that's solid, line up 3 interviews and you probably get a job

[teal jackal]

no glaring mistakes

[weak latch]

there's a lotttttt

like i went into amazon in the spring feeling prepared

[teal jackal]

i pulled the 40% estimate out of my ass tbh

i have no way to prove it

[weak latch]

for example i haven't even done one linkedlist or stack question in python, i don't even know how to make one

or a bfs/dfs

[peak ferry]

well same but that type of logic made me feel better about doing interviews

[teal jackal]

youre right

[peak ferry]

even if you fail most your interviews, you only actually need to get one offer

[teal jackal]

yea...... that is behind tbh

[weak latch]

i can do it in java tho

[teal jackal]

ah

in that case

[weak latch]

pretty easily

[teal jackal]

youre chill

if you know it in java you know it in python

[weak latch]

but im trying to do everything in python this year

[teal jackal]

just do like 2 or 3 not very hard problems a day

preferably clunky problems

[peak ferry]

BRO this is the funniest shit, I literally was googling how the queue interface works in python during an interview and got the W (I asked if I could and they said yes)

[teal jackal]

and do it in python

[weak latch]

like in java a stack is just Stack<Integer> s = new Stack<>() but i don't know how to do the equivalent in python for example

[teal jackal]

youll get a feel of python data structures

collections.deque()

for me

i can use deque as stack or queue

im lazy now so i only know how to use python deque

[peak ferry]

if you need a pure stack you can just use a list, if you want a queue you should use deque

[weak latch]

i think if i get a tough complex question i'll just fall back on java if i don't think i'll be able to do it freehand in py

[teal jackal]

yeah do waht youre most comfortable with

[weak latch]

i hope the interview doesn't care if i swap back and forth 😂

it could lowkey be more impressive if i can flow between 2 languages easily in one session

[peak ferry]

I actually used the queue Queue which is not what you normally want to use in python rofl-- do not be me. you should be familiar with the normal datastructures ur language provides

[teal jackal]

id use java

the main nice thing about python is that python does not give a FUCK what data types you pass into stuff like lists and sets

as long as youre consistent

and building lists, sets, other standard data structs, is super fast

and simple

[peak ferry]

java is a serious meh/10 for interviews because of how verbose it is tbh. I've done & passed interviews in Java, it just makes me sad

cuz interviews are time constrained

[floral plank]

Where does it say that?

[weak latch]

its in the email

[weak latch]

i looooove python honestly its so much more fun to do LC in

i passed amazon with java

i would not have been able to do that question in python

even now

[teal jackal]

same

[floral plank]

Don’t see it in my email?

[keen zinc]

When will I hear back from palantir

[teal jackal]

when did u apply

[teal jackal]

i applied tuesday, crickets for me

[keen zinc]

I gave my karat on Tuesday

[teal jackal]

h

ah

[weak latch]

I applied to palantir Aug 21st and got karat email Aug 29

if that helps with timeline

[teal jackal]

yeah that helps, thanks

[floral plank]

I got a completly different email

[weak latch]

so about a week ish

[weak latch]

wtf lol

[floral plank]

@weak latch does that also count for doing the redo

[keen zinc]

High key feel like I’ll get cucked by my recruiter

[floral plank]

Cuz I schduled mines for 7 days but I probably will do redo

[smoky lodge]

my recruiter just told me palantir is done

[keen zinc]

Done with recruiting?

[teal jackal]

no f'in way

Fuck

[keen zinc]

Why tf have PaLantIr PuRsuIt

[teal jackal]

PLEASE PALANTIR dont cuck me

[weak latch]

s o is karat like

[teal jackal]

i stg this years cycle moves so quickly

[weak latch]

a real human being

[teal jackal]

yeah

[weak latch]

talking to you

[teal jackal]

but outsourced

[keen zinc]

I’d feel very bad being cucked this far into the process

[peak ferry]

Gedeon is literally a troll lol.

[teal jackal]

true

gedeon is a serial troller

but i respect it

[smoky lodge]

bro not even 20 minutes go by and this chat falls for the exact same troll

[keen zinc]

Pls don’t play with emoshuns

[peak ferry]

y? earlier in the season they basically said we are gonna hire hella people

[weak latch]

Cringe.

[keen zinc]

They held a virtual event

Last week

[peak ferry]

ic

I have a recruiter call on monday lol

[teal jackal]

gedeon gets paid to be a troll

[keen zinc]

I am yet to hear back from recruiter after karat

[weak latch]

@rain patio bloomberg has me scheduled in october bruh 💀

and capital one power day earliest was November

[chilly burrow]

https://cscareers.dev/job-postings/4f8ffda8-e5f7-4f92-8e31-44d4e1921985

[weak latch]

fuck it im doing my palantir karat on monday

if they close they aren't gonna flush out the pipeline right

like cut off those already in the process

they'd just close newcomers

this aint google brev

[keen zinc]

The reason I fell for gedeon is that I heard interns being flushed out after the recruiter said they’ve filled the head count

[low scroll]

has anyone done gap OA

[floral plank]

Pretty easy

[lapis cove]

yall are being fucked with

[weak latch]

so I did something dumb and I asked my goog recruiter if headcount is something i should keep in mind when scheduling my onsites if i get one and she goes "you should focus on finishing your school year strong and then doing the coding sample and see from there" 💀

quick bozod

[keen zinc]

asks a question
gives a completely off answer

Is this how recruiters are programmed?

[teal jackal]

how about we just ignore FUD until official news comes

and keep banging our heads against the wall hoping for something to work out for us this year

[peak ferry]

yea it's not really worth thinking about, shoot out apps, do the process, and see how it goes

[old vector]

instacarts application page looks terrible lol

[chilly burrow]

instacart got new grad out?

[tardy geode]

is capital one OA hackerrank or codesignal?

[floral plank]

Codesignal

[keen zinc]

Code signal

[tardy geode]

oh i see

[floral plank]

Just to confirm for Karat I can request a re interview right after interview right?

[teal jackal]

yeah i f u feel like u failed

u gotta do it within 24 hours

of taking it

[smoky lodge]

my recruiter told me that capital one is done

like they've reached their headcount

[buoyant fable]

just bombed an interview with two Leetcode questions I’ve done before

[smoky lodge]

but they might re-open depending on how many renege

[late kestrel]

i thought you had class

[smoky lodge]

it's a boring class

I'm taking notes right now

[old vector]

yeah on linkedin

[chilly burrow]

this role: https://instacart.careers/job/?gh_jid=3697872 ?

I was insta-rjected lol

[grizzled bronze]

5 business days

[silk cape]

anyone have a link to the SpaceX new grad app?

[chilly burrow]

its closed

[smoky lodge]

my recruiter told me snowflake is done

[chilly burrow]

Its only for 2022 grads

they dont got 2023 apps out yet

[somber plume]

Does anyone receive Amazon’s OA after Aug 8?

[weak latch]

my recruiter told me gedeon's "trolling" is getting old and isn't funny

[smoky lodge]

https://tenor.com/view/emoji-disintergrating-meme-emoji-disintegrating-meme-gif-21239978

[chilly burrow]

ofc i am

yes

[smoky lodge]

rescheduled or just straight up canceled?

that sucks

did you cheat???

[chilly burrow]

application submitted 😭

[old vector]

amazon hasnt gotten back to me too

[rustic vessel]

Bruh

[old vector]

anyone got amazon OA yet in US?

[harsh ingot]

I interviewed Monday 10am pacific and still under review as well

[smoky lodge]

for C1's code signal you can get by with high 600s from what i've heard which is literally only getting the first question fully corect why would you cheat it for C1???

[pallid kernel]

man i hope so

im getting real sad

4th day now

imagine they drag this on for another week

😱

[smoky lodge]

you should take out your frustration by withdrawing your app

so there's more headcount for the rest of us

remember kiddos

if you have any uncertainty about your app at all

reject it

[pure steeple]

Can u dm me a screenshot

[smoky lodge]

so the rest of us have a better chance

ok question for you guys

[pallid kernel]

god i hope

monday is labor day too so

that’s another day wasted

[smoky lodge]

if you have an offer do you only apply to places that you think will give you something better

[pallid kernel]

if we don’t get offer on friday we have to wait 3 more days

[chilly burrow]

yes

[pallid kernel]

for some reason i have work off on monday

[chilly burrow]

once u hav an offer u can b mor selective

[smoky lodge]

but here's the thing right

[smoky lodge]

because i feel like even if i don't get a better offer, so long as it's relative to the one i currently have I feel like i can use it negotiate more money from either company

[chilly burrow]

Tbh new grads dont have much leverage in the first place. You can try to go for equivalent offers for negotiation but I would personally only aim for better companies. I dont enjoy the recruiting process at all.

[smoky lodge]

but like for instance, say you have a 135k offer from somewhere. if there's another place that you think could offer you 120-130k i feel like it's still worth applying there for negotiation reasons

[chilly burrow]

if u tink its worth then apply

[smoky lodge]

you just aren't greedy enough

i want money

lowkey yeah

i want to feel like i could solo carry a start up with development ability

[low scroll]

you should be negotiating regardless

[smoky lodge]

not saying i would ever do startup work but i want to feel like i coulld

[smoky lodge]

i agree

it's an important skill set

[low scroll]

missing out on a lot of money by not doing so

[pallid kernel]

i will gift everyone in this channel amazon prime if portal updates today

[late kestrel]

i was here

[vital meteor]

bet?

[uncut umbra]

how bad is peak6 oa

[late kestrel]

two lc questions i didnt even know how to start to solve

[uncut umbra]

lc hards?

[late kestrel]

one hard for sure the other just seemed implementation heavy but i ran out of time, med/hard

i know some ppl get the same questions but idk if everyone does

[uncut umbra]

got it

[foggy perch]

oh boy any folk here stressed about that roblox final

[split plaza]

not me

Because I didn’t get it

[foggy perch]

nice

when'd ya schedule yours

[simple elk]

I feel like negotiation has been hella nerfed for newgrads

[foggy perch]

I decided to do asap and got it end of sept

[smoky lodge]

skill issue

[late kestrel]

^

[simple elk]

NG offers are either non negotiable or band constrained

could be capping tho idk

[smoky lodge]

everything is negotiable except death and taxes

[sinful tendon]

yeah i have 3 offers and every single one is non-negotiable

[foggy perch]

as in this coming monday?

damn you're going fast

[simple elk]

But maybe you just have to be more goated than me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rceUVaiXQgU

[foggy perch]

i mean negoing basically only works if you have competing offers

[foggy perch]

and huh really?

[simple elk]

tldr mf negotiated to like 250k tc in 2014 for newgrad

[foggy perch]

are they big tech

[foggy perch]

was it 250k tc at the time

or it appreciated

with RSus

[simple elk]

250 offer letter at the time not adjusted

[smoky lodge]

only 250k? pffft

[foggy perch]

dang

nah moment I get a 250k tc offer

[simple elk]

2014

[foggy perch]

I'm retiring from interviewing

[smoky lodge]

so?

250k is pennies

[simple elk]

Its not and offers weren't as high as they are now then

[foggy perch]

im assuming its trolling

unless gedeon is secretly 500k at jane street

[simple elk]

Yeah prolly

[smoky lodge]

try 1.5 million at jane street

[foggy perch]

so true

[smoky lodge]

100% true and not trolling i promise

[cyan grail]

what is considered new grad?

[weak latch]

@cedar nebula btw amazon rejects faster than they offer from what i've seen

[cyan grail]

i graduate in August 2023 should i apply for new grad?

[weak latch]

graduating in Fall 2022, Spring 2023, or Summer 2023

[weak latch]

keep in mind some companies require spring graduation tho 👍 but yes you can apply for new grad

[cyan grail]

sounds good. thank you

[old vector]

what do u guys think about delaying grad bc this recession is screwing w everyone rn?

[teal jackal]

gedeon is a massive troll

hes here to spread doubt and shitposting

[simple elk]

If you would be graduating without job maybe but it could get worse for a while

No guarantee its better in 6 mo or a year

And you can't postpone for 2+ years

[gilded vortex]

Was considering the same thing, I applied to a grad program and was accepted, but I really wasn't interested in more school

[old vector]

which school

[gilded vortex]

UIUC

[old vector]

oh nice, i guess if ur just doing general swe its not worth

or unless this recession is rly bad then i would do it

[gilded vortex]

yeah, like even now, its not terrible

I started applying at the end of july and have gotten 2 offers and a couple more interviews on the line

while some big companies aren't hiring, I feel like its still ok

[old vector]

which offers?

[gilded vortex]

amazon and veeva

[lapis cove]

whats veeva

my 412 brother

[slate bobcat]

VEEVA

[gilded vortex]

veeva systems

[prime palm]

Veeva deez nuts

[old vector]

oh nice

[gilded vortex]

also hoping for a return offer, but idk cause of hiring slows rn

[old vector]

amazon still hasn't gotten back to me yet wtf

[lapis cove]

return from where

[simple elk]

how much is veeva?

[gilded vortex]

uber

[gilded vortex]

I got confirmation for an offer but they won't tell me specifics until after background check

but I would assume somewhere between 120-150 tc?

[simple elk]

thats weird but fair enough

[gilded vortex]

probably towards the lower side

[gilded vortex]

yeah

[simple elk]

Uber will probably come through with return since they have NG open

[gilded vortex]

yeah, however, ive been talking with some interns and some didn't get return offers

its contingent on headcount per team, but I think its really dumb how they are hiring ng and not giving return offers for some ppl

[simple elk]

Hiring interns you dont have hc for if they perform well is cap

[gilded vortex]

Yeah I think so too

you've already invested resources into them

[simple elk]

and they would rather hire a ng than move an intern who did well to a different team

thats just spending more resources for no reason

"lets spend more money recruiting a completely new person who will ramp up slower than the one who has worked with our infra before"

Yeah idk why he assumed growth until now

noone holds for the 6x for the public companies either

[gilded vortex]

he didn't even accept any of the offers lol

but good for him

[simple elk]

I just thought the 2014 offer numbers were interesting and the room for negotiation

[late kestrel]

what was their tc and location? they come to our career fair but never really looked into them

[simple elk]

I feel like the window is smaller now

I don't think bands were as rigid of a thing then

[gilded vortex]

Haven't given me details

[late kestrel]

gotcha thanks anyways

[simple elk]

or are director/vp

[brittle dirge]

Hey, does anyone know how is the SeatGeek final interview?

[simple elk]

yeah principal/distinguished

idk if principal is even that high

but def distinguished

someday

[misty fable]

i failed pltr once again (on the redo)

kek

[simple elk]

where do they go to school

[misty fable]

went much better than the first time around though

previously:
q1 works, q2 broken until the bitter end, completely wrong approach

today:
q1 works, q2 works at the very last second

so i still have never seen what the "difficult" q3 is like

[simple elk]

[misty fable]

slow brain but pretty happy with the improvements

[gilded vortex]

didn't even pass resume screen for palantir

[simple elk]

They just dont do any research ig

[misty fable]

that's more rng i think, just have to appease the ATS somehow

its k man

im gonna start to apply to 70-80k NG whenever i see one locally

[prime palm]

What's Palantir new grad process?

[misty fable]

not cut for 3 medium questions in 45 mins

[prime palm]

I got the oa roday

Is it karat next

Then final?

Or

[misty fable]

OA, karat, HR, more technical, HM

hello @peak ferry

gonna get chocolate bar again

lmk if u guys want anything

[peak ferry]

hello 🙏 best of luck at other places

[simple elk]

My uni numbers are 78 median 83 avg. Seeing that instead of some shill on a yt ad def tempers expectations

[misty fable]

tyty

[latent sun]

Got 2.5 Qs for karat Palantir but rejected 😦

[misty fable]

just kinda nice knowing that yeah i've done my best given the timeline

[lapis cove]

waiting for update post interview is the worst feelin mane

[vital meteor]

Can you get me bubble tea

[outer radish]

Lowkey palentir moral model is fucked

[misty fable]

pltr no longer at the back of my head

i can sleep at night

[misty fable]

ok how much sugar

[peak ferry]

I still can't sleep at night

[simple elk]

wake up, get coffee, get snacks, play ping pong, go home

[vital meteor]

50%

[misty fable]

you can too with this one single step i did!

[misty fable]

damn are you depressed

[simple elk]

Probably not but if its the same as the others i dont need to

[misty fable]

who orders bbt with 50 sugar

[peak ferry]

does bombing palantir help sleep? let me fuck up my next rounds rq

[misty fable]

here for a good time not a long time

[peak ferry]

50% sweet is actually too sweet imo don't like it

[vital meteor]

I'm always depressed

[misty fable]

bombing palantir and copious amounts of alcohol

gl sentientskillet

please leave some spare change for the rest of us

anything helps™️

[peak ferry]

dw I'll bomb it for the homies out here

[misty fable]

you better get that job 🔫

or else

[peak ferry]

bro the only thing that is appealing to me is the free food free drinks

[simple elk]

[peak ferry]

why is this only a thing at (some) big tech

reee

[misty fable]

lay pip

@peak ferry genuinely curious

how did you do med-med-hard in 45 mins

did you just type it out in 1 go and get correct answer

i feel like theres not much time to make a single bug

[split plaza]

Anyone still waiting for Netflix response

[misty fable]

it took me what, 15 mins for the supposedly easy/med question?

pace off right from the start

[peak ferry]

well it was more like ez-med-hard for me and yes for the ez & med or maybe there was some trivial bug in the med but no core logic issues

[simple elk]

She also works in marketing tho

[misty fable]

i see i see

[peak ferry]

finished the first 2 problems in like 20min and sat and thunk about the 3rd problem for like 20 min and barely wrote like 1/2 the solution in 5 min end was p stressful cuz I was stumped

[misty fable]

i think what fucked me up on q2 was that i had the wrong idea and tried fixing it in the last 2-3 mins (it worked in the end)

[simple elk]

How many of the big tech dream job influencers are actually swe

[misty fable]

ahh icic

i'll do better next time if i still decide to stick around

[foggy perch]

Probably a good number tbh

[misty fable]

wanna log off irl tbh

[foggy perch]

It's just that people show these videos as a flex

They obviously do work

Just not in the video

[peak ferry]

tbh palantir was the speedy-est interview I've had, most places tend to ask a medium + followup

[simple elk]

True

[misty fable]

icic

[peak ferry]

ig I had one interview with 3 mini/diverse problems in 1 hr which is p similar

[misty fable]

unrelated protip; freeze your kinder buenos

[gilded vortex]

her office in chicago looks exactly the same design as the uber office in chicago

probably the same people designing tech offices in chicago

[foggy perch]

Nope

Just gotta pray ig

[gilded vortex]

btw how did you feel about the roblox oa?

I just did it today and was definitely a unique experience

[foggy perch]

I'm just hoping they rejected enough people with oa that interview isn't a huge filter

[simple elk]

Codesignal or Games

[gilded vortex]

games

[simple elk]

vroom vroom

[gilded vortex]

lmao

[foggy perch]

Games were aight

Deer std was super annoying

[gilded vortex]

yeah

[foggy perch]

I did bad on that one and still passed though so 🤷‍♂️

I think codesignal and car one are most impactfyl

[gilded vortex]

make sense

[buoyant herald]

Yo is robloxs code signal the general assessment?

[simple elk]

ye

[buoyant herald]

So can I reuse a score @simple elk ?

Or do they want it fresh out the oven

[simple elk]

You can reuse

[inner prawn]

LOL so when does she work??

[lapis cove]

they didnt even ask me that for my onsite lol

just did another behavioral during that time slot

yea

but theres supposed to be a "creative open ended problem" to discuss

but i think they fucked up what they told my interviewer or smth cuz i asked and they were like i was just told this is a values interview

[foggy perch]

?

Wdym

Ohhh

Nice

Hopefully we both make it to San mateo

Think you'll accept if you get it?

[finite pulsar]

can I reuse one from any time? I have a good codesignal but it's slightly over a year ago

[foggy perch]

I'm probs gonna instant accept if I get it lmao

Unless some hft reaches out to me

[simple elk]

thats prolly too long but you can check

Normally companies want with in 1 year or within 6 months

[foggy perch]

Ah

Nice

Nah my only offer so far is bloomberg

Fair

Think you'd prefer google over roblox with good team?

[jolly raptor]

Hey can you share, how did you prepare for OOD?

[foggy perch]

Same

I think roblox generally at 250k tc

I applied for google but I have 0 desire to ever go through team matching process ever again

Since I did team matching for fall 2022 intern and still am technically in limbo

But have low hopes

[simple elk]

bad trend but past performance doesn't predict future results

[foggy perch]

Meh even if roblox stock drops tc without it is still pretty comparable

[simple elk]

Does roblox do 1 year grants

could be a move if they do

rip

Metaverse overrated

or im wrong and it will be the death of us all

[foggy perch]

I have 0 faith in metaverse and only want to join metaverse related companies for the tc

Tbh

[simple elk]

rephrase, wide adoption of the metaverse will be the death of us all

[rain patio]

so the roblox values/creative problem solving interview is just behavioral?

1 > 0

sounds good to me

[foggy perch]

I'll have faith in the metaverse when we have brain vr

Until then vr for more than a short duration sucks

[vital meteor]

my virtual gf is waiting for me

[rain patio]

How was the technical? Lc hard?

I meant

The uh coding on the final

[foggy perch]

No one here has had it yet I think

[rain patio]

Oh whose sample size is the 1 lol

[foggy perch]

🤷‍♂️

I didn't provide it

[rain patio]

I got it on Tuesday

We’ll see I guess

[simple elk]

Marshmallo concert in fortnite ?!?!?!? 🤯

[foggy perch]

Dang yall scheduled it early

I scheduled so I at least could last second prep

[rain patio]

Oh the source is @lapis cove I think? Lol

If I am reading correctly

[lapis cove]

i dont think its supposed to just be behavioral

think it was a mistake in my case

technicals were medium

[foggy perch]

No dp I hope

Else rip

[wary pollen]

Did any of you guys get a confirmation email after finishing the "Untapped" questions for Duolingo?

[jaunty snow]

I did basic design tagged problems on lc

[lapis cove]

no

[frozen tapir]

does anyone know if bloomberg on-site is their final round?

[foggy perch]

There's engineering manager round after but you generally likely have the offer by then

[fleet flame]

Just FYI, you’ll only get verbal offer from BB cause they haven’t finalized their shit yet for 2023

I talked to my recruiter and apparently the hold up is the very high up management

[foggy perch]

^

[stoic bone]

https://jobs.bytedance.com/en/position/7138210801609591077/detail?spread=BSPP2KS -> Is this for for people grad in Dec 22 or is it also for May 23?

[foggy perch]

Can confirm since I have verbal bbg offer rn

And it's been slow

[fleet flame]

The recruiter responsible for me came to my school’s career fair lol

So I talked to him in person

[foggy perch]

Nice

Tbh I don't mind it being slow

[fleet flame]

He said that the problem is just the higher up management haven’t approve and sign

[foggy perch]

Gives me more time to interview

[fleet flame]

Also, no head count limit for Bloomberg

Recruiter says Bloomberg is growing like crazy rn. Literally no limit

[foggy perch]

Nice

If only they gave more office perks

[fleet flame]

The high rise office lowkey is a perk

A bunch of the nyc tech offices in them small ass buildings

[smoky lodge]

my recruiter just told me amazon is done hiring

[fleet flame]

Tell your recruiter that it’s only day one of hiring. How could they be done?

[tardy geode]

wtf really?!!!

[smoky lodge]

yeah supposedly they're also cutting a bunch of full time SWEs

massive rip

[tardy geode]

what i feared has turned into reality ig then

[foggy perch]

Lmao

Hook line sinker

[foggy perch]

I just want that good free office food tho 😦

My real motivation for roblox

[smoky lodge]

? no im not trolling...

never troll

[lusty field]

What is min codesignal for HRT i got a 728

[late kestrel]

my recruiter told me its time for gedeon to put down his phone and pc and find something productive to do

[foggy perch]

Probs 800

You def need to get all 4 questions for hrt places

[fleet flame]

Bruh, on builtinnyc it says BB has free food. But they don’t. All they got are snacks like wtf

[late kestrel]

dont they got 3 nyc offices

[foggy perch]

Yeah I asked my recruiter and they said it's just snacks

Maybe lunch occasionally

So idk

Pretty fast

I think within a week or so

[fleet flame]

Yeah, but it’s all in them high rise office towers.

[late kestrel]

gotcha lol

[foggy perch]

I got an offer super early since I applied for 2022 swe

Before it closed

[fleet flame]

Same

[foggy perch]

Nice

[fleet flame]

I’ve been waiting for my official offer from BB since June

[foggy perch]

Same

[late kestrel]

i got my bb phone next week and i dont think im ready D:

[foggy perch]

Nope

Hopefully it's a good increase for comp

[fleet flame]

My recruiter say it’s the very high up management that hasn’t approved and signed yet

Hence the hold up

[foggy perch]

Just do bbg tagged questions

They literally just reuse them

Other relevant part is "why bloomberg"

[late kestrel]

ive done the top 10 so far. think ill try to get down the top 25 and call it good

[tardy geode]

i have done like 130ish easy's and 27 mediums . gotta buckle up but i am just bad at mediums .

[foggy perch]

So google LPs

And answer using those

Same

[fleet flame]

I got some lc hard problems but they were also tagged questions

[foggy perch]

Also my theory is bbg final interview has a good cop and bad cop for interviewers lmao

[fleet flame]

🤣

[foggy perch]

Since one of my rounds had multiple interviewers

[tardy geode]

is cisco SWE1 for bachelors?

[foggy perch]

One was super nice

[late kestrel]

did your hm end up having any technical questions

[foggy perch]

One was super strict

[fleet flame]

Both of mine had multiple interviewers

[late kestrel]

so weird

[foggy perch]

Huh

[fleet flame]

Yeah. The coding on site

I had 2 interviewers for both rounds who both asked me a question

[foggy perch]

For me it was tech round with multi, coffee chat with swe, and hr

[smoky lodge]

AWS is done hiring

my recruiter is reliable

[foggy perch]

I've heard it's a bad sign if hr doesn't show up for your bbg final

But idk

I believe so

They showed up for me and I passed

[fleet flame]

Some people had hr along with em

[foggy perch]

Really

[fleet flame]

Yeah

Know a couple who had that and got offers

[foggy perch]

Hr was same day, but they didn't tell me for some reason

So I had to ask an interviewer if I had more interviews the same day

It was weird

Ye

[fleet flame]

Mine asked me if I could stay for an hour more for the hr

[foggy perch]

Em was diff day for me

I think you only get em if you pass final

[fleet flame]

EM round is also looking for culture fit. Some people do get rejected that round

[foggy perch]

Rly

[fleet flame]

Yeah

[foggy perch]

That's so weird to me

Since em was so chill for me

[fleet flame]

They’re waiting for the official offer

[foggy perch]

Literally just me asking questions

[fleet flame]

Recruiter told me that once I get the official offer, I have 2 weeks

[foggy perch]

My em barely even asked anything

[simple elk]

You know its cap because Amazon doesn't give u a recruiter

[foggy perch]

Did yall have harder ones

[fleet flame]

Mine asked me to pick a project to have a technical discussion about

[foggy perch]

Oh yeah I had that

[fleet flame]

And we kinda went in depth on one of my projects

[foggy perch]

It was chill though idk

Was wack to hear my em was at bloomberh for 20 years though

[formal wing]

Guys, does Tiktok only have SWE in Test or is there a regular SWE too?

[foggy perch]

I can't imagine staying at a company that long

[fleet flame]

I think what is really important is to have an answer for “Why Bloomberg”

[foggy perch]

Ye

I prepped that early

[smoky lodge]

my recruiter told me bloomberg is done hiring

[foggy perch]

I just listed LP and stuff bbg did I liked

Wtf

[fleet flame]

My recruiter told me that I’m actually dead.

[foggy perch]

Lmaooo

[smoky lodge]

My recruiter told me uber is done hiring

[foggy perch]

Tbh I feel like I'll only stay at bbg for 2 or so years

Before moving

Idk

I've been trying to get an Amazon interview scheduled for like a month

Still nothing smh

Since I passed oa

[smoky lodge]

my recruiter asked me to have sex with them

[foggy perch]

Cs major moment

[smoky lodge]

fr fr I like men

[foggy perch]

Also imagine being a new grad hired last year

Rsu reduced to peanuts

[smoky lodge]

bro if you've got a swe salary and are salty just fly to europe and get some prostitutes

[foggy perch]

True

[low scroll]

sarcasm?

[smoky lodge]

no real

PORTAL UPDATED

[azure zephyr]

con: group of chads

[smoky lodge]

[azure zephyr]

pros: dont have to do any work bc they think i cant do anything

[smoky lodge]

REMEMBER TO TURN DOWN THE OFFER

[smoky lodge]

my recruiter told me 20+ apps -> 0 offers is done

[simple elk]

@smoky lodge's recruiter told me Amazon is out

[azure zephyr]

facts! this is going to sound bad but im so used to it after four years of this

im just a weak girl to them lmao but do any of them have a FAANG offer like me tho?

[weak latch]

bruh what

[peak ferry]

chad moment

[weak latch]

you should tell em that

be like ayo where's your faang offer

[azure zephyr]

if you cant beat them be them

[peak ferry]

more like if you can't be them beat them

[azure zephyr]

and then they try to spin it like they came up with the idea

i mean i could tell them but like whats the point tbh

[late kestrel]

omg my portal !updated

[teal jackal]

Project is meaningless fr unless it's gonna win university wide awards

[azure zephyr]

right like if they wanna do everything be my guest im just chilling

[weak latch]

my school has a mini-capstone class and there was 1 girl in our group of 5 dudes and she prolly did the most work by far on our frontend 😂

[teal jackal]

I'm not a girl but I made a really big mistake partnering with two people who were already friends, for an AI final project

They ended up doing everything without telling me

[weak latch]

yup that's how it goes, cs people are weird

[smoky lodge]

Any way, here’s a clip where she hulk twerks

[teal jackal]

I'm never plus-oneing into a pre made group of friends again

Was a terrible idea

I learned nothing from AI

portal update is Monday Wednesday nights

up to 5 biz days after final

[weak latch]

is this real bruh LMAO

i've never seen a friday portal update

[smoky lodge]

yep

[weak latch]

unless it was an immediate rejection

saw that happen once lol

[azure zephyr]

she hulk is actually a fever dream LMAO

[smoky lodge]

megan the stallion exists in the MCU

[weak latch]

people on twitter blew that shit up like 💀

[teal jackal]

I want to do my c1 codesignal rn but I have to pack

I hate packing for move ins

[marble bronze]

Just speed run

[weak latch]

just speedrun it in 15 minutes

[teal jackal]

Speed run packing

You're right

[weak latch]

Interesting. It was super consistent around when I was applying in spring

yeah

one more week lololol

you interviewed on friday?

its automatic lol

[livid yew]

lmao yall keep updating the portal Doesn't it just email you when the status updates?

[weak latch]

1-2 days after

yes rejection is faster than offer

[livid yew]

idk I have yet to interview with amazon

[weak latch]

portal update happens faster too if its a rejection

[teal jackal]

I think you'll hear back Monday

Dw yet bro

[livid yew]

I see

weird

[weak latch]

in the spring i got my offer on the 15th of march and then people who interviewed in that week all got waitlisted 💀

so i interviewed in the last week of actual offers 💀

[teal jackal]

Amazon wait list was crazy
Like wtf is this shit? College apps?

[livid yew]

see I am the kind of person, if after a full week it has not updated, I would just call my recruiter lol

[weak latch]

i didn't even do college apps lol

i got guaranteed admission at my school

so it was just a formality

[teal jackal]

I regret trying for college apps tbh

[livid yew]

lmao

[teal jackal]

It was a waste of time

[azure zephyr]

college apps were so dumb looking back on it

[teal jackal]

💯

[azure zephyr]

honestly we're probably going to look back on this recruiting cycle and think sorta the same

[teal jackal]

Tru

[weak latch]

fax

[livid yew]

tbh waiting a week in business is pretty common

[smoky lodge]

[azure zephyr]

amazon doesn't necessarily make decisions the same day

[teal jackal]

I feel like job search is diff from college search is because the applicant to vacancy rate for jobs is much lower, and you apply to like 50 jobs, rather than 10

[azure zephyr]

bc everyone who interviewed you has to go into a meeting where they decide if they wanna hire you or not

[teal jackal]

But it's also similar in many ways

Gunning for the best
Constant stress of looking at portals

Anxiety

The fact that both processes make a big impact on your future

[azure zephyr]

my sister is a recruiter at aws (not student programs, she couldn't even see my application status) and i think it just depends. she recruits for senior engineers though so its probably a lot different

[teal jackal]

True

Tbh I've lowered my standards, as long as I don't make less than I did at Amazon

[cobalt siren]

man why did I choose to go to school in ohio

[late kestrel]

down in ohio

[livid yew]

OSU?

[cobalt siren]

yeah

[smoky lodge]

I guarantee you that if I get an Amazon OA I’m basically done

[cobalt siren]

I actually really like the school

[raw wing]

My mom is a recruiter at Amazon and she says you’re all gettin rejected

[smoky lodge]

Where tf is my Amazon OA

[cobalt siren]

but columbus tech isn't too great

I wanna stay here to be with my girlfriend

tbh prioritizing relationship over career

but it obviously isn't an easy choice to make

[azure zephyr]

yeah that makes sense student programs is like an entirely different part of amazon recruiting

[teal jackal]

Amazon's done hiring bro, there ain't no more for u

[smoky lodge]

Oh no the no hiring thing doesn’t apply to me

[livid yew]

lmao what, Amazon always hiring tbh

[static moth]

i can confirm, im yakhubs mom

[azure zephyr]

amazon will always have jobs

[static moth]

portal updat eboys

[teal jackal]

Nah I'm just pulling an uno reverse on gedeon

[azure zephyr]

with all the ppl getting PIPed theres always a place 😂

[smoky lodge]

Epic, very cool

[azure zephyr]

whats the point of having a lot of money if you have nobody to spend it on

[teal jackal]

It's all speculation

Don't read too deeply into this stuff, and don't think of your timelines one way or another

[smoky lodge]

she hulk is kinda hot ngl

[teal jackal]

Don't try to interpret this stuff, it only stresses you out more

[azure zephyr]

she hulk the baddie

[livid yew]

there is a female hulk? since when

[cobalt siren]

thats what Im thinking

sounds like a rap lyric lol

[teal jackal]

My cars lmao

I want a GMC truck, a BMW m2 coupe, and a Kia minivan

[smoky lodge]

https://tenor.com/view/bridal-carry-tatiana-maslany-she-hulk-attorney-at-law-jennifer-walters-gif-25711190

[teal jackal]

My 3 car dream garage

[livid yew]

sheesh too many vehicles.

[livid yew]

invest it, donate to charity idk

[weak latch]

yes this is true they decide right after the interview

but HR has to process it, write up the offer, find a team for you, find a location for you, etc etc

[teal jackal]

I really want the GMC truck

[smoky lodge]

Invest it to get the market average return of 8-9% and then retire in 20 years at 40 with around 100k to spend a year for the rest of your life

[weak latch]

so it takes a few more days after

[teal jackal]

A cope for people who've never driven one before

Mercedes ain't the same as Honda tbh, another level

Tbh this semester I'm planning on cockblocking myself to motivate my grindset

No dating, all hustling

[peak ferry]

therapists

[azure zephyr]

oh god so true lmao

[shrewd ivy]

I do that already by just existing

[winter thistle]

when does McDonald's SWE app open?

[smoky lodge]

I think of value in terms of how many prostitutes in Amsterdam I could hire

[smoky lodge]

Like instead of dollars I measure wealth in this

[teal jackal]

Doubtful tbh, but I respect your personal preference in type of car

[winter thistle]

close discord and apply to 200 places right now

[azure zephyr]

i saw a post on blind today about this guy wanting to retire at 22

[winter thistle]

grindset

[peak ferry]

on a more serious note, at least personally, I find it hard to strike a good balance between relationships, careers, and hobbies. adulting is hard

[teal jackal]

We don't even have 200 places open

[livid yew]

fucking idiot that dude

[azure zephyr]

he got super lucky following wall street bets, won big on AMC and etc

[livid yew]

weird

good for him I guess

[azure zephyr]

wants to take a break for a year or two and travel the world with his gf

[teal jackal]

Honestly to be obligation free and live life while you're going is an amazing privilege, but what tf is he gonna do when he spends all the money and it's time to do stuff in life again

[azure zephyr]

he had already graduated college he's like 6 months into amazon

homie has 6 million after taxes

honestly...

[smoky lodge]

I remember reading about a guy who signed like 30 job offers and none of them found out until like the 1-2 months later but at that point he had already made over a million dollars

^this is my plan

[azure zephyr]

i kinda think he should take a year off to travel and then come back

he said he can put like 85% into some kind of investment account (???) and just profit

[peak ferry]

never underestimate people's ability to lose money -- tho i didn't read the post maybe they're actually gigabrained about money

[livid yew]

I had plans to visit Tokyo in 2020, but then COVID

Thankfully COVID is over now, so I can travel to Japan soonTM

[azure zephyr]

the way he made it seem was like he was constantly generating revenue from his investments, so i think taking a year or two off is good but retirement at 22 prob wont happen unless he keeps getting super lucky

[teal jackal]

The kid is naive, even though I envy that he gets to enjoy life to its fullest with his money, taking too long a gap is career suicide

[peak ferry]

could be 0.1% or 99.9% kek

[smoky lodge]

$6 million is pennies

[weak latch]

but why give up amazon for a year of traveling when you can take that year of traveling any time in your life? if you have amazon NOW wait until you actually want to leave and then travel and shit

LOWKEY I WANT TO

[azure zephyr]

im going to japan for grad trip

[peak ferry]

I mean with 6M in post tax assets he literally doesn't need to work a day in his life if he doesn't do stupid shit with his money

[weak latch]

when do you get signing bonus?

[teal jackal]

What's the big deal with new grads wanting to travel to Japan tbh?

[weak latch]

is it after you sign the offer or on day one

i assume day one

[azure zephyr]

hopefully its open to tourists by may

i think its first check right?

[weak latch]

we're weebs

[teal jackal]

Ah

[livid yew]

is Japan still closed? wtf lol

[teal jackal]

Can't relate there

[smoky lodge]

In all seriousness I actually know someone irl who makes 18-20 million dollars a year

[azure zephyr]

i dont even watch anime i just wanna try all the food 😭

[peak ferry]

I think they have required tour guides that follow u around which is kinda lame

[teal jackal]

I wanted to go to France, Italy and Germany and check out motorsports culture

[livid yew]

damn, well I guess they managed covid better than us lol

[teal jackal]

Europe has cool ass automakers and motorsports heritage

[azure zephyr]

oh shes real??????

[peak ferry]

nah they have hella local covid now, so it's p silly at this point imho

[smoky lodge]

In the last year I have probably seen more hentai than actual anime. How down bad am I

[azure zephyr]

i promise i just typed "anime girl profile picture"

[livid yew]

like covid was gone in the US around late summer 2021 tbh

[formal patrol]

Covid is never truly gone

[teal jackal]

"gone" since everyone stopped caring

[livid yew]

yes

last time I put a mask on....December 2020

[azure zephyr]

yes thank you

[teal jackal]

I've never thought about traveling to Japan before,

[azure zephyr]

my bf is super into anime he wants to go to universal in japan bc its kinda anime themed apparently

[peak ferry]

I want to go on a celebratory japan trip after I accumulate enough vacation days-- but alas I imagine the friend I wanted to go with might want to go with their SO instead lol

[teal jackal]

I wanna go on a motorsports vacation in Europe

And visit Monte Carlo, Monaco

Sounds like a goated place

Even though their f1 race sucks

[stray lark]

Is there any apple positions we can apply to?

[azure zephyr]

pick a rando from tinder to go with you easy

[teal jackal]

Search "early careers" in apple job site, and find ones that you're interested in

[livid yew]

Universal Studios in Japan is pretty cool

[prime palm]

anyone take palantir oa

[peak ferry]

just wanted to go with the homies

its a diff vibe

[smoky lodge]

Where does one buy slaves in the 21st century

[peak ferry]

lol I say "homies" but group trips are such a pita, it's like hearding sheep

[teal jackal]

Move to Mauritania

[azure zephyr]

fr group trips over like 6 people never really work

[peak ferry]

yea we had 5 people and that was about the limit lol

tbh ideal number might be 4 bc you can fit everyone in a cab

[teal jackal]

Group outings suck if there's too many people

You need a somewhat small but super tight group(I've never had before)

[azure zephyr]

i went on a trip last spring break with like 15 people and by the end of the trip half of the group weren't friends anymore

[uncut umbra]

has anyone taken the imc video interview thing

[rustic vessel]

9 questions for swe

Pretty short

[smoky lodge]

I visited Houston last year, the “trafficking capital of the world” but I couldn’t find anyone who was selling

[uncut umbra]

just behaviorals?

I heard there were some technical questions in there

also 9 questions being short is uh... not what I expect

[smoky lodge]

If you can’t literally buy slaves, are you even wealthy?

[livid yew]

oof only Gold Nova Master

[prime palm]

i'm DMG

[teal jackal]

Move to Mauritania bro

[pallid kernel]

i just stumbled upon the amazon office while walking back from work

imma barge in and ask where my offer is (/s)

[uncut umbra]

so basically a hirevue? just on a diff platform?

ok bless

[smoky lodge]

If I find out that anyone didn’t turn down their Amazon offer I’m leaking their social security number and banking info

[peak ferry]

just walk in, give em a firm handshake, ask for a job, and you'll get an offer by the end of the day 💯

[smoky lodge]

I’m not im just personally insulted that I haven’t been sent an OA

It’s because the management is scared of me

They know I would rise up and challenge their positions in just a few weeks

[livid yew]

lmao what its only 9PM on the east coast

day not over yet

I guess if you live outside the US, then yeah its Friday lol

[prime palm]

you took amazon 2 x 60 right

sheesh

gl man

weren't you amazon intern this past summer though?

goated

you got past all the ahoys

resume reject or interview?

oof

im sorry

this year was the first year ever i wasnt resume rejected

out of 6 apps

that's not true

i told them to hire you and reject me

they swapped it probably

kekW

finance stuff
