[runic wind]

[smoky lodge]

I am using this chat to vent my anxiety from the applications process

[coarse quiver]

Just ur username really is suspicious ma chérie

[runic wind]

Mr. Kh

[dense blaze]

Ah yeah It’s hard

[dense blaze]

Why tho lmfao

[coarse quiver]

Nevermind then

[smoky lodge]

so if it appears that I have brain damage and/or am incredibly cringe this is why

[coarse quiver]

Bro stop slacking here and grind applications more

[runic wind]

How was your intern, Mr. Bog

[coarse quiver]

Where?

Jp was mid

G is excellent

[runic wind]

Summer was G, iirc?

[smoky lodge]

Bro I’ve already grinded so much

[runic wind]

Ooh neat

Are you planning to go back?

[coarse quiver]

No jp was summer

G fall

I hope to convert fulltime

Yes

[smoky lodge]

grinding hard and not getting the results you want is the worst feeling in the world

[runic wind]

G Zurich, right?

Come back after 500+ rejections

[smoky lodge]

who wins in a fight

[earnest warren]

Gedeon asks: who wins in a fight Bog 👍 or Bob 👎

[coarse quiver]

It is. I received an offer to work in a low tier french quant firm in London btw

[formal patrol]

Who is bog?

[coarse quiver]

It's my backup

[dense blaze]

Mon Cherie wins zero questions

[runic wind]

Fancy, whats the name if you don't mind sharing?

A lot of pog firms also have French offices

[coarse quiver]

TC is poverty tho

I will try to negotiate

[runic wind]

Did JP give a return

[coarse quiver]

Yes, somehow

[earnest warren]

Gedeon asks: Google 👍 vs Meta 👎

[coarse quiver]

I swear I slacked so much

[runic wind]

So you have 2 backups?

[earnest warren]

Need at least 1 question with 2 choices.

[smoky lodge]

Polls are fun @lapis cove you shouldn’t have introduced this to me

[coarse quiver]

It's not bro

[earnest warren]

Gedeon asks: who wins Dogee 👍 or Gedeon 👎

vashu asks: 50/50 troll/serious more like 100% Troll or 100% serious

[smoky lodge]

I’m 100% troll when I’m off my meds

[livid yew]

I want to meet @smoky lodge IRL

need to know if they troll IRL

[dense blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/sao-alicization-kirito-kirigaya-kazuto-asca-gif-24650815

[teal jackal]

I feel like gedeon would be funny and chill af irl tbh

[normal palm]

it was about Bog, i didn't read up

[azure zephyr]

does anybody know what duolingo is even looking for? all i see are rejects (including me)

[west egret]

So what’s the minimum code signal needed for c1? 😅

[grizzled bronze]

Don't worry about minimum, just do your best

[west egret]

So is anything above 700 fine lol

Already took it. I tried to solve the 3 and 4 but didn’t. So the extra time prob lowered my score.

[grizzled bronze]

It can be, seen people in the low 700s still get final. Nothing is guaranteed though.

[west egret]

Okay thanks. Hopefully it’s just a resume screen after a certain point. Heard c1 interviews are backed up though.

[weak latch]

Bruh I'm pissed

got graph dfs problems

and spectrum went down in the middle of my interview so i had to switch to hotspot and i lost a bit of time

unfortunate!

[dire yarrow]

[smoky lodge]

what company

[surreal shuttle]

its ok will you feel ok

[surreal shuttle]

which company?

[hard coral]

Anyone who applied in the 2nd week of August and got OA for Amazon? I applied at that time and still haven't received the OA.

[surreal shuttle]

i got OA after 7th week

it is very random.

[hard coral]

I see

Did you get a 30 mins interview after that?

[floral plank]

How long does it take back to hear from Citadel after oa?

[weak latch]

Palantir

[floral plank]

mine was a bad expereince as well

[weak latch]

the first one wasn't that hard but the second one was a common ancestor dfs one, but it wasn't like a normal tree or graph it was a set of pairs mapping parents to children so a lil different

i dont think the question is that hard i had the problem 99% done

[floral plank]

Also I can't schedule my redo for a reason

[weak latch]

but there was some small error in my recursion i think that caused it to fuck up

and i couldn't find it in like 10 minutes of discussing and thinking out loud

[fallen oak]

been a month since i took mine and still nothing 😔

[whole berry]

yo does leetcode have a darkmode thats also text

i dont like my corneas being burned

[blissful sonnet]

somebody else has been waiting for amazon OA for > 1 month now here?

[surreal shuttle]

i waited for 2 months

[blissful sonnet]

yeah and that's why your username is about to change

[weak latch]

BRUH

i fixed it

literally changing

for loop:
  return dfs()

into

for loop:
  if dfs():
    return True

fixed it

💀 💀 💀 💀 god damn it

[hasty birch]

Use dark reader

[whole berry]

assertions is your friend

[small mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/so-pissed-im-work-mad-gif-23416426

[weak latch]

what that

[crude tinsel]

what's up with c1 lol. got invited to power day without oa or phone interview

[weak latch]

what?? 😂

[dawn sequoia]

power day?

[weak latch]

i didn't actually do the codesignal it just took one of my 6 month old scores from their intern app

lmao

got power day

[smoky lodge]

a lot of people renege C1, and something like 90% of their associate SWEs leave after like 1-2 years

so they're just hiring a shit load of people to fuel the machine

i literally think C1 is the easiest company paying 120k+ starting TC to get an offer from

it's also the only one i've gotten an offer from

[west egret]

Levels is showing high 140s now

[teal jackal]

This semester gonna be 80% career hustling and 20% school

[smoky lodge]

if you get NYC or SF

[west egret]

Yeah. Still that’s not terrible for those areas.

[lapis cove]

Resume reject by Bloomberg

Amazon not enough

[primal pike]

nyc?

[teal jackal]

Apply with alt email?

[primal pike]

nyc is sweaty

[teal jackal]

New grad as a whole

I didn't know there were multiple locations

[primal pike]

nyc u need to be dp god

[teal jackal]

What other locations does Bloomberg have

[primal pike]

london is the easy one

[teal jackal]

I swear to god if I don't get an interview anywhere this week I'm probably gonna be hopeless and resign myself to 80k grad salary

I see

They didn't mention location in bloomberg

Damn, rejected with Amazon

Tbh I thought I'd survive resume screen

[rustic vessel]

Zon not strong enough

Everything is rng, don’t worry about it and keep moving

[teal jackal]

Tru

Fuck bro

The battle is real this year

I'm probably gonna do the bare minimum to survive classes

[primal pike]

oa2?

[teal jackal]

And hyperfocus on projects and leetcode

[teal jackal]

Didn't even get oa

[primal pike]

[teal jackal]

I applied and got rejected from Bloomberg

[primal pike]

its tough now

[teal jackal]

I have prior intern xp with Amazon

[primal pike]

in 2020 i got oas from every single faang

with a shitty resume

[night magnet]

Jesus

[rustic vessel]

Wtf

[night magnet]

😫

[lusty field]

Damn I just realized I got sent the Airtable form for Netflix application 2 weeks ago and forgot to do it. If I filled it out now did I miss OAs?

[primal pike]

thankful af this startup gave me a chance

[lilac siren]

Netflix oa is not auto

[rustic vessel]

I didn’t get oa

I’m just going to hope that’s because they take my oa from last year

[smoky lodge]

I got the Netflix OA but didn’t do it and sent an email to HR calling them bitches

[lusty field]

is it GCA?

[floral plank]

Yea

[lusty field]

poggers

[teal jackal]

Based

Damn now I'm low-key depressed lmao

Bloomberg thought my resume = not enuff

[thin elbow]

Should I try and get a referral for C1 or should i just rawdog the app

[rustic vessel]

Do referrals even matter for new grad

[thin elbow]

no idea im pretty shit when it comes to job related info tbh

I did apply to amazon with a referral tho

[teal jackal]

For a lot of companies yes

[teal jackal]

Tbh I'm also career illiterate

[rustic vessel]

Hmm google, amazon, optiver referral didn’t do jack

[teal jackal]

I have no idea what's stopping me from getting past resume screenings

[smoky lodge]

Referrals are helpful but I’ve never needed because I’m cracked

[thin elbow]

it do be feeling kidda bad being dumb LOL

[rustic vessel]

Jane street referral just got me insta rejected lol

[thin elbow]

couldnt b me

Im not even gonna bother with jane street

[teal jackal]

Referral for quant isn't that useful, you still need to pass the hiring bar

[rustic vessel]

Not even quant it’s swe lol

[teal jackal]

I'm only gonna use hrt as a free throwaway codesignal

[rustic vessel]

And my resume is pretty similar to the one who referred me

I should really gtfo discord and get on leetcode fuck

[teal jackal]

Same

Imagine being social

Tbh not me this sem

[lament summit]

Is 826 enough for HRT?

[teal jackal]

Prob not , but a lot of things aren't enough for hrt

[west egret]

It’s only sept and I already don’t miss recruiting season

[solemn tinsel]

What is Bloomberg process?

I got some email for a Bloomberg Engineering Coffee Chat

but it sounds like a behavioral interview

[teal jackal]

Recruiting season is so draining

[near hollow]

is 828 a good codesignal or nah

[west egret]

I think it’s technical phone -> final

[teal jackal]

4/4?

[nocturne oriole]

my only offer is cap1

[west egret]

Why is that bad?

[nocturne oriole]

Lol it’s not bad im just teasing cuz i think i read them saying it’s their only offer and now they saying theyre cracked

But i know it’s a joke so

[rustic vessel]

I’m in the same spot

[near hollow]

nah 3/4 with hidden test cases missing in 3rd

[west egret]

I just want my return offer from WD

[near hollow]

^

[teal jackal]

Should be pretty good if u have to submit now

[smoky lodge]

What joke

I am cracked

[nocturne oriole]

Every time the opportunity arises i will simply re state your name

@smoky lodge

[thin elbow]

@nocturne oriole did u intern at c1? Just trying to get a idea of how the process is

[nocturne oriole]

No i didnt. I believe it’s just codesignal to final. I think i had new grad final and cancelled

Rumor back then was they always ask same q

But we dont share questions here

Or else ban

[thin elbow]

ahhh gotcha
send q in dm

yeah I want to apply to c1 just trying to see if ppl got a referral or not

most ppl said its pretty easy and it wouldnt b bad to have more options

[teal jackal]

i applied too

with my luck, getting resume rj

[smoky lodge]

Kirb

[thin elbow]

wait what does cancelled mean? you didnt do it?

[nocturne oriole]

Yup declined

[thin elbow]

oooo gotcha

I strive to be gigachad to turn down interviews LOL

[grizzled bronze]

GlassDoor had all of them, probably has this years changes too by now

[gilded vortex]

c1 power day takes forever

I remember being asked how to design apis after a company acquisition

and that was for a freshman interview

[normal palm]

wait @dim cosmos 's a mod

[jaunty snow]

Damn, I feel like I got relatively lucky this year with their power day, I got asked a somewhat easy OOD q haha

[normal palm]

not too shabby man

yee

how's ur ng search

ohh dang

that confidence lol

smart

[teal jackal]

i think im gonna apply to winter 2023 notion, and just defer grad date

"defer"

[marble bronze]

"defer"

[teal jackal]

just gonna change my grad date on resume to dec 2023

i only have one class left dec 2023 anyways

• next sem

[autumn ridge]

If i sent Cap One my code signal a week ago and haven’t heard back yet is is GG’s. I did pretty terrible on it 763.

[normal palm]

ugh i might want to do this as well

[marble bronze]

Don't think so, I sent a 813 like 3 weeks ago and have yet to hear back

Unless my resume do be that shit

[teal jackal]

c1 super busy rn

but im probably resume rj

tbh

[grizzled bronze]

People with lower than that have moved on to the final, and people with perfect scores have also been rejected before final

[late kestrel]

i have a worse resume than a lot of yall here, and didnt even take the codesignal and got c1 powerday at the end of the month. its all rng

[weak latch]

they sent me final with a 725

i wouldn't lose hope yet

although i did get final invitation 30 minutes after the codesignal deadline 😂

[gilded vortex]

sent 846 to them, no response

[weak latch]

when did you get the oa and when did you do the assessment

[west egret]

Wait so you applied but just didn't do the codesignal and they gave you final anyways?

[smoky lodge]

Thinking of buying capital one stock since clearly they’re going crazy rn

[gilded vortex]

3 weeks ago

[weak latch]

hmm

idk then

could be resume

msft still "application transferred"

[west egret]

I took CS today and got a 710. Prob could have gotten higher if I just took the L and gave up trying on 3 and 4.

Seemed like last year people were getting power day even with low 700s though.

[normal palm]

what does application transferred mean?

[late kestrel]

yeah. i did a codesignal early last year before i had touched any leetcode and did horribly, so im assuming it wasnt that. so i have no diea

[jaunty basalt]

For msft, it means nothing

Just that they received it but like we know that

If you do get phone, they email you I never checked portal only for the offer

[normal palm]

oh great, that's all i check haha

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah cuz realistically everything goes through e-mail

[normal palm]

true

[gilded vortex]

has anyone gotten any word from microsoft?

[jaunty basalt]

No need to keep thinking about it

[normal palm]

dont think so..?

[gilded vortex]

new grad 23, what a time

[normal palm]

is tiktok new grad difficult?

[late kestrel]

its actually really easy, i just swipe down and sometimes click the like button

[normal palm]

lol

"it's only 500 rounds of interviews, easy"

only catch is, they employ you in the western capitalist lands so you're technically a double agent for them

[teal jackal]

What's the appeal of tiktok na

I heard work culture is awful since the Chinese management is completely detached from the western teams

True

[normal palm]

MONIES

a lot of it

granted, you must sacrifice all hopes of wlb

[errant karma]

Perfect timing I wanted to apply to TikTok today

I bombed there Internship OA last year

what can I say I was still a rookie

[teal jackal]

Oa was kinda hard tbh

For intern

[errant karma]

You are being recorded too

[teal jackal]

Their oa is hard

Recording doesn't fuck with me tbh

[errant karma]

I imagine it is hard for New Grad Too

The real question is do they sponsor

[blissful sonnet]

Yes, h1b

[errant karma]

Nice, time to roll the dice

[lusty field]

how to get msft oa

[teal jackal]

Nobody's heard back at all yet

[late kestrel]

walk into your nearest microsoft store and beg

[coral relic]

Time to start seriously applying 💀

Hopefully I haven’t missed out on too much

Needed that break

[late kestrel]

only thing you might have missed out on is getting a c1 or bb interview scheduled before the end of the year lol

[foggy perch]

only missed out on a few hiring freezes starting

oh or that

[vital meteor]

Google was up for like 3 days

[foggy perch]

i wonder if google will even get back to anyone on that

[dire yarrow]

just 3 days?

I thought it used to stay up for a week

[vital meteor]

It was like 3 days this time

[dire yarrow]

@foggy perch @vital meteor are you guys the same?

[foggy perch]

nah I'm obviously the original

clearly

[vital meteor]

They prob open up again later

[foggy perch]

eh

idk about that htis year

since google seems to be going pretty hard on the hiring freeze

and seems to have a big backlog of people who weren't team matched

[dire yarrow]

[vital meteor]

Yea I'm in tm stuck

[foggy perch]

f

[vital meteor]

I dont need more people applying

[dire yarrow]

I think last year the way they did it was they first opened it in august and then in march

[foggy perch]

psh people practically graduated by march

[dire yarrow]

I don't remember how long it was up for but I heard some say it was for a week

[foggy perch]

i'm just curious if google will get back since I got a referral

[dire yarrow]

Most ppl graduate in may

[foggy perch]

and passed google intern app at least

[dire yarrow]

oh

did you apply for internship?

[foggy perch]

I went through google intern app process and didn't get team matched F

for fall 2022

so I'm just graduating dec 2022

[dire yarrow]

omg

[foggy perch]

google team match process is the devil

I got bloomberg offer tho so i'm mostly chilling

[vital meteor]

Gl

[foggy perch]

I'm tryna get roblox offer rn so I can say goodbye to google for good

[vital meteor]

Is roblox better

[foggy perch]

since I actually hate the google team match process so much

[foggy perch]

I like it more and I got a final scheduled already

but also roblox tc pretty fat

like 230k-250k ish

[vital meteor]

Hows the tinder buff though, as good as G?

That's most important

[foggy perch]

as you know, saying you work at roblox just makes the pants drop

dang

where'd you get 262k number from

I only know someone whose gotten 250k y1

[dire yarrow]

I have reason to think referral will help you in team match

[foggy perch]

eh

I think it only helps if your referrer is also down to help you find teams

[dire yarrow]

coz I remember I slipped in quick while others were crying in the google unverified chat

[foggy perch]

oh ok

[dire yarrow]

and the only difference was I got referral

[foggy perch]

I think I technically fumbled google intern team match though

[dire yarrow]

but dunno my recruiter might just be nice

[foggy perch]

since I interviewed with like 3 teams

and didn't get any F

[dire yarrow]

bruh

[foggy perch]

in my defense

Team 2 literally changed their project last second during the interview

to some Unit Testing thing

so that was a wipe

Team 1's person was just depressed

so Team 3 was the only viable one, but I just got the L since it was in NYC

which I imagine was super popular

[dire yarrow]

hope things work out for you this time

did you send email to your previous recruiter?

[foggy perch]

not really, at least for like 2 weeks

last I emailed him I asked out of curiosity

if intern app helps at all with ng process

and they said no

[dire yarrow]

maybe not for interviews, you'll still might have to go through the same number of interviews, but you can mention this all the time tho

[foggy perch]

Wdym

[prime palm]

@foggy perch yoooo

can i dm

[foggy perch]

For what

[prime palm]

to ask about bloomberg's process

[foggy perch]

Nah just ask me here if you want

Process pretty chill

[prime palm]

what's your timeline?

• the process in general

i only have 1st interview scheduled atm

so idk what's next

[formal fable]

Anyone here give the SIG OA?

[foggy perch]

I applied for 2022 swe bbg but moved start to 2023

[prime palm]

yes

[foggy perch]

I got phone, got confirmation I passed within 1 week

[prime palm]

swe 2022 new grad?

[foggy perch]

Ye

[formal fable]

Did you get a codesignal score for it?

[prime palm]

how long aho did you interview?

[foggy perch]

I basically finished process before 2023 swe ng app opened

[prime palm]

idts

you just do their codesig

then wait

dont think i got a score out of 850 like a generic gca

[foggy perch]

Wdym

[blissful sonnet]

It's not gca so you don't get a score

[formal fable]

How long does it take for the score to populate? I had some issues with that in my previous codesignal attempts. This time I was logged into the email where I received the invite

Got it

[prime palm]

like

you had an offer in 2022 for bloomberg right

but moved it to 2023

[foggy perch]

Ye

[prime palm]

after taking oa i heard back afeter 2 days

[prime palm]

icic, ty

is it nyc?

comp?

[foggy perch]

It didn't really matter since I had my grad date as Dec 2022

Which is what it is

So they knew I wouldn't start till 2023

[foggy perch]

150k base 20k bonus, 10k relocation verbally, but I've heard they're making some tweaks in 2023 letters for everyone starting then

[normal palm]

location?

[foggy perch]

Nyc

[prime palm]

nyc afaik

[foggy perch]

Princeton location sounds ass

[prime palm]

oh shit

the fuck

LOL

[normal palm]

is 150 base good for nyc

[prime palm]

did the interview process have any systems design

or only LC

[foggy perch]

I didn't have any sys design

Allegedly some people might in engineering manager interview that comes post final round

But idk

[solemn tinsel]

was the process phone -> final for bb?

[old smelt]

i heard its mostly just tagged LC, and then a culture fit interview with manager

[prime palm]

sounds good tysm

[prime palm]

tysm

i hate how bloomberg abbreviation is bbg

[primal pike]

BBC

[late kestrel]

just say bb 🙂

everyone in here knows what it is

[plush fossil]

yes

[peak ferry]

allowed to? sure -- ik google does off the top of my head, but also afaik not that many companies typically ask

oh hi -- so that's what you mean. unless you actually signed an nda I don't think they can do anything

if you did not sure

[waxen bolt]

It is illegal for a company to block you from shopping your offer unless you signed a NDA keeping the offer private

It is your legal right to share you salary with anyone you want

Did you sign anything binding you to that?

Then no, just because it says confidential doesn't mean you have to keep it that way. Especially when you never signed a contract with that company agreeing to keep it private

[peak ferry]

salary sharing is legally protected afaik, but I don't know if that's also applicable to offers. tho if u didn't actually sign anything binding you to non disclosure I doubt it's strictly enforceable

[waxen bolt]

Probably to scare you. A lot of companies do stuff like this to just get applicants to sign. It's why most companies will set short deadlines to accept or lowball offers. They know most people are too scared to do anything

If you're really scared just sensor the company name

[azure zephyr]

are you allowed to apply to multiple tiktok jobs?

[waxen bolt]

Sure

[normal palm]

up to 2

[waxen bolt]

sure

[lapis cove]

for wet inboxes tomorrow

[normal palm]

[peak ferry]

the ghosting ends

at this point I'd be happy if they tell me to fuck off

[spring ledge]

hey y'all

[peak ferry]

I just want an answer

[spring ledge]

when an offer is like "10% bonus"

is that 10% of base?

[peak ferry]

yes

[spring ledge]

ty

[lapis cove]

hey so i have a call soon about return offer, and im sure theyre gonna ask me how long i need to decide

i have some interview processes starting up soon, shld i keep that private and just say like as much time as possible so i can make a confident decision

[azure zephyr]

i say keep it private for now (like until you receive official offer from them)

[peak ferry]

generally they do not want to give you more time to get another offer. give some other reason that you need time to make an informed decision

[prime palm]

For a nice inbox this week

ily

[gilded vortex]

I mentioned UIUC guidelines for offers and at least Amazon respected it

[vast mica]

God pls gives atleast 1 offer this month to every person looking for new grad 🙏🙏. We are tired As fuck.

[whole berry]

praying big time

[young peak]

I gotta tell y'all man

It's just the beginning of september

There's still a lot of time for you to land offers. I think I landed my first one around mid October but my last offer came in around mid March. All of these offers, I applied to em as soon as they came out early August to early September. It's random, so don't beat yourself up over things taking too long

Looking back y'know, I was palms sweaty too -- drooling over my inbox every morning and night for an update from anything. Probably would've been the exact same result or better for me if I had just chilled out and let myself rest. Well, that's hindsight bias I guess. Who knows lmao, maybe the only reason I got my offers was because I was so desperate for one

Point is fellas, just prepare yourself for a LONG haul. Don't kill your brain in September, only for the big bois to pay attention to you in November but your brain is fried

[teal jackal]

I just want an offer asap so I can spend months working on making my fnaf map for zombie escape

[rain patio]

does this server give referrals? 🙃

[smoky lodge]

Does any server?

[weak latch]

How do I do a palantir karat redo

I never got any email talking about a redo after doing the interview

[rain patio]

neetcode and csmajors

[teal jackal]

Probably there are people who are willing to help, but you probably won't find it in this channel since everyone in this channel is down bad and their hope for a return offer is spent

[static moth]

dm yahkub for spotify referrals

[livid citrus]

i remember there being a giant spreadsheet of recruiter and hm contacts... cant find anymore... does anyone have it?

[simple elk]

Most people's internships are over, normally can't refer once it ends

[teal jackal]

Best bet is to talk to full timers and fall interns in the server

[tardy geode]

morning

[foggy star]

How’d it go?

[teal jackal]

New grad apps be like:

Requirements:

• Exist
• Have a pulse

Still get resume rejected

[quick wraith]

apply again

[tardy geode]

facts

[teal jackal]

adobe uses 0% of their brain for their new grad app system

[waxen elk]

How is bloomberg phone conducted? Over a typical phone call? Or over some video conference tool?

[knotty talon]

Is LC tagged useful for uber? Like half of them are hard lol

[jolly raptor]

any waiting for amzn VO confirmation recently? did u get any email

[waxen elk]

I didn't get any zoom link in the interview confirmation email. Do people get it before the start of the interview?

Ok, thanks for the heads up.

Ok, thanks.

[static moth]

did anyone get rejected from uber after the first technical phone?

pls dm

[old vector]

this is bill.com job description

[calm shale]

Johnson and Johnson reject

The fuck

[sonic coral]

Retail and f500 firms are very picky

Since they have less resources for training

And hire less

Just ask @livid yew

Basically for the big retail corps your resume needs to match their needs

They can’t afford faang level of training where you take in anyone who passes the lc and just train them

[forest hatch]

When's amazon updating portal

[livid yew]

facts. as someone who has only worked in retail-tech and f500-tech we just dont have the time for training tbh

like we need people to know their shit and get going

the trade-off many retail places stay away from LC style

[runic wind]

How does that work, honestly
They don't pay as well as FAANG, but are more picky?

[sonic coral]

The interview process is easier but getting the interview is harder

[runic wind]

I see

[livid yew]

yes

[sonic coral]

They need people who know the tech stack and for new grads at least people who have worked with the tech stack before

The exceptions that I can think of are like the rotational programs at like cap one or AT&T but I haven’t heard of any retail corp with a rotational program

[livid yew]

now my current employer still falls into more tech than most retail/f500 so its a bit different

yup we have a rotational program here at Comcast

[sonic coral]

Yeah so it’s the more closer to tech to f500 is the more likely they’ll have something like that

My buddy got into an IT rotation program at AT&T despite having an EE degree lol

[livid yew]

yup f500 is the safer route for longterm tbh

since many of these companies have existed forever and have thicc bank accounts

and are not building 3rd-grade level drawing VR

aka metaverse

[sonic coral]

Yeah the only downside is swe is cost center

[livid yew]

although, comcast is doing some VR/AR stuff, but you didn't hear that from me

[calm shale]

If we get resume reject or OA reject this season for 2023, does that mean it’s over for the company? Is it possible to reapply?

[runic wind]

Did he have a referral

[sonic coral]

Nope

He got in like in January I think?

[runic wind]

How, then
Teach me

[sonic coral]

He’s started now

It’s like one rotation on network engineering and another on netsec team

Maybe some other team as well I forgot

[livid yew]

tbh if you do want to go for a place like ATT/Comcast/Disney @runic wind I can get you referral at any

[runic wind]

Mind if I dm you?

[livid yew]

we dont pay big TC, but we also are not super boomer lol

[livid yew]

sure

[sonic coral]

Comcast has nyc office too lol

I remember I was applying for their internship

[livid yew]

the FAANG kids like @sonic coral will slander me all day, but I made a good career decision for myself

[sonic coral]

Bro when did I slander you

[livid yew]

yeah @sonic coral some of our Software teams still operate like startups which is cool

[livid yew]

lmao

[sonic coral]

I respect everyone’s jobs

[livid yew]

fine lumen

[nocturne oriole]

I only respect yahkuna matada

[sonic coral]

My goal outta college was to get a job period

[nocturne oriole]

My goal was 60k in texas

That’s considered a life changing sum of $ where i’m from

[sonic coral]

There’s def kids in faang tho that live in a bubble of only faang/top tech/fin friends and it shows

[sonic coral]

For me it was 100k in nyc

[livid yew]

yup I know several people from HS that broke 100k in vastly different fields and I am very proud for them

[sonic coral]

We’re all just trying to live life man I don’t see how slandering peoples jobs does anything

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah I’m technically EE

[livid yew]

I took one EE class in college, and noped the fuck out

[jaunty basalt]

I got AT&T, Gap, Walmart etc

[sonic coral]

I think C++ makes sense for EE

My buddy did have several c++ classes

[runic wind]

Same, lmao

[runic wind]

How

[jaunty basalt]

Cuz I can

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah I only had dsa in c++

[livid yew]

Walmart actually has pretty good tech stacks

[runic wind]

Yeah Walmart is tech first nowadays

[sonic coral]

Lol I know a guy at zon who had such a dumpster fire team several people left for Walmart labs

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah Ik a principal there, he loves it there

I just had better options

[sonic coral]

The director left for instacart and it was like a domino effect lmao

[runic wind]

Walmart labs levels are wack tho

[livid yew]

Yup and it's safe tbh

[sonic coral]

That team is such a shitshow

[livid yew]

Like Walmart ain't going anywhere

Well

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah I would come in as SDE II

Which is entry level

[runic wind]

They had "distinguished" as a title
But then people wanted even more promos

So they came up with "senior distinguished"

[livid yew]

I would come in at SDE 3 or higher.

[sonic coral]

That guy was only an intern so he managed to escape that team thank god

[teal jackal]

tell jpow to stop raising interest rates

[livid yew]

Walmart Labs has some crazy good AI stuff now

[sonic coral]

Lmao there’s an Uber TL role at google I wonder if it was a similar thing

No idea if they get paid more tho

[livid yew]

Especially with the in store tracking

[teal jackal]

bumping this question

[sonic coral]

But it’s like some tech leads are designated uber TLs

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah my interviewer talked a lot about tracking

[livid yew]

as someone who worked retail tech. We track all types of things

we know when you stop in a certain aisle, we know how long you stare at product X

we know if you pick it up and then put it back

[jaunty basalt]

And was like “u like backend right”, gives me a system design problem

[runic wind]

Did you have referrals at these places

[teal jackal]

what does walmart tech do?

[jaunty basalt]

No I never get referrals

[livid yew]

we know how often you go to certain areas of the store

and if you have like a walmart.com account, we can sync that data up, so then you get targeted product ads

so a lot of those security cameras are doing more lol

[runic wind]

Ooh I actually worked at a startup that had this exact thing as their product

They used to fix up existing VMSs to add face recog and tracking

[livid yew]

at Comcast our tracking is much less intrusive lol, basically just how often you turn on your cable box, what your most frequent channels are etc

[runic wind]

After how long did you get OAs/interviews from them?

[jaunty basalt]

Like a week

They’re fast

[livid yew]

Ok back to work

[runic wind]

Oh dang, pog

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah good point

Back to work

[livid yew]

Although I'm stuck rn 🤣

[runic wind]

[hallow shell]

Has anyone done Bloomberg recently for 2023 new grads ?

phone

what should i expect ?

also for the final what should i expect

@wary birch

[fast hinge]

has the ng stuff be way harder to get than internships this year?

[shrewd ocean]

how many of the tagged qs would u recommend to do to b well prepared

[teal jackal]

holy shit

apple's resume autoparser is REALLY good

workday WTF are you guys doing

microsoft's autoparser sucks too

[hallow shell]

goodluck brotha

[spring gate]

There’s an EM round after final

Cool, then that’s the offer

Grats bro

[loud olive]

Question: is there usually a salary difference for new grad roles between undergraduate students and grad students?

[shrewd ocean]

yes

[jaunty basalt]

No?

[loud olive]

I see I’m tryna figure out if I can use the grad student status for Negotiation

But I feel like I haven’t heard of many companies that have salary difference between undergrad and grad

Hive AI

[jaunty basalt]

Cuz there isn’t

U either get uplevel or not

And that comes from experience

[loud olive]

Ya I feel like if u start at the same level then the grad student status doesn’t really carry much weight

[jaunty basalt]

Not usually school unless it’s phd

[loud olive]

Man I never negotiated before so got learn how to do this lol

[pallid kernel]

day 7 of waiting for portal update, sighs

[teal jackal]

does tiktok new grad still do auto oa?

[gleaming marsh]

Has anyone gone through the new grad netflix? I just finished their OA & got it approved by code signal (aka didn't cheat verification) but I am so confused about the process since I can't find anything online

I don't even know if it's an auto OA :/

[shrewd ocean]

its not auto

if u get like 800+ score then u have chance for interview

[gleaming marsh]

oh cool thank you, guess I'm not getting an interview lol

[teal jackal]

shit

800+

i really hope netflix stalls with giving me OA

[split plaza]

no one knows for sure with Netflix tbh

[teal jackal]

i really need a good q4 rng

tbh

[gleaming marsh]

It wasn't bad, I just ran out of time cause I'm slow

[teal jackal]

did u get 1200/1200

[gleaming marsh]

No, that's why I'm not getting an interview lol

[teal jackal]

not getting 1200/1200 = bad

for codesignal

[gleaming marsh]

:P

Netflix responds super fast though, I applied & got the oa in less than a week

So I thought it was auto

[teal jackal]

I'm probably getting resume rejected for all positions at apple
but i will say that apple has a GOATED resume parser

they got everything right

i didnt need to revise anything that they parsed

[rain patio]

Anyone know if stripe has new grad positions?

[tardy geode]

How is diameter of a binary tree an easy problem 😦

[teal jackal]

it's applied DFS

[hushed ember]

I disagree. The real goat is TikTok. The best I've seen so far. To the point accurate.

[teal jackal]

tiktok parser is really good too

it was off a little bit compared to apple, for my resume

the only thing apple got wrong for my resume parsing was that it didn't recognize BS = bachelors

[knotty talon]

Anyone here has done Uber phone?

[prime palm]

diameter of a binary tree

do i know that one?

[cobalt siren]

Are the technical rounds similar to the phone round? Just some lc mediums?

And what was the EM round like? Behavioral?

[gaunt crescent]

any idea how HRT algo dev second round is? non coding technical round 45 mins.

[cedar gulch]

does anyone know if tiktok requires that you have at least a semester left for their internships? I didn’t see anything about that in the description but just wanted to make sure

[crude saffron]

Probability and stats

And linalg

[late kestrel]

i was just told id have to do a 1h technical interview to get a return offer to my f500 non tech company...

how does that make any sense

i just had a 3 month "interview" this summer

why do u need to see if i can lc

[rapid jewel]

Lol good luck 👍

[sudden depot]

did pinterest ever release their new grad postions?

[late kestrel]

this aint even a tech company though 😭

https://leetcode.com/problems/add-binary/ this was the only lc question they asked the entire process

like cmon now

[chilly burrow]

Any1 kno what to expect from Uber's Depth in Chosen Tech round?

[sudden depot]

from what i've heard, it's just a leetcode style question

that's at least what my friend did

[latent sun]

Putting this for visibility:
Applied Intuition -> Recruiter Call -> Phone Tech Interview (45 min) -> 3 hour ( 2 Technical 45 min : Break : 2 Technical 45 min) -> 45 min Behavioral (with 2 Lead Engineers) -> Offer

[pure mauve]

when did u apply?

[latent sun]

I got reached out by a recruiter

last week

And they are applying for me. I should be hearing back by EOD if I get past the resume screening into the 1st Round Technical

[pure mauve]

oh u didn't go through process eyt

[latent sun]

Ah nah not yet lol

[foggy perch]

random question, I've seen people mention how Facebook and Zuck were the first to start the high swe pay trend which caused other companies to follow suit to compete

anyone have any sources on this

[lament summit]

is anyone doing this neeva oa

lmao

[waxen bolt]

Anyone know when Netflix will get back after OA?

[cedar zodiac]

MongoDB not hiring new grads

[teal jackal]

i thought about codesignal q4 again

My thought process needs to be:

throw paradigms based on input data structures at the problem ->
throw data structures relevant to paradigm and use case

[foggy perch]

more like throw hashmaps at it and if it doesn't work give up

[teal jackal]

this tbh

[livid pagoda]

did anyone hear back after a week and still passed the phone screen from bloomberg? they ghosted me after interviewer told me I would hear back in a couple of days.

[rapid tree]

Is it after OA?

[lofty tangle]

I had a call today with palantir recruiter after solving 3/3 on karat. 30 mins before the call recruiter emails me

I regret to inform you that you DID NOT successfully complete your Karat interview. I read your scores wrong 😥

[cobalt siren]

I heard that Bloomberg rejects very quickly so don’t give up. Can’t really say much since I did my phone this past Friday and made it past today

[gaunt crescent]

yes.

[latent sun]

i’m sorry bro :((

[pure mauve]

tf is that bar holy fk

[late kestrel]

citrix stfu just tell me if you wanna give me a job

[slate narwhal]

anybody do c1 OA?

[hallow shell]

any tips for the behavioral portion

[livid pagoda]

thought its a rejection since the message was too short.

[late kestrel]

lol ikr

like i appreciate the sentiment but the first one was enough, you didnt need to send this most recent one

[late kestrel]

its just a codesignal GCA

[livid pagoda]

people here waiting whole day to get a message with [EXTERNAL] subject and they do us like this.

[slate narwhal]

do you remember any of the questions?

[late kestrel]

google "codesignal gca"

its random

[cobalt siren]

Could it actually be detrimental to mention offer deadline? I thought I heard of people getting rejected cause they didn’t think they could meet the deadline

Maybe I’ll just not mention my offer deadline be a renege whore if needed

Bloomberg

Have a c1 deadline oct 28th and potential on-site on oct 6, 12or 13tg

Oops yeah for Bloomberg

I just want remote and c1 isn’t budging while my interviewer said bb is flexible even tho hybrid model

[foggy perch]

I mean bb is going to be at least 3 days in office per week

so it's not really remote

if that's something you need

[cobalt siren]

My interviewer who was senior said that it’s generally pretty flexible and they’d allow remote for case by case and that some teams are just remote anyways even tho there’s a hybrid policy

No idea tho

[foggy perch]

🤷 I was told it's not something you should count on

since first 3 months is training

so that's in-person 3/5 days

then you pick a team after that

[cobalt siren]

Ah rip

[foggy perch]

and I heard most teams are at least 2 days in office

even with the more flexible ones

🤷

[cobalt siren]

Yeah maybe my interviewer was looking at it from a more experienced Engineer standpoint

That they’d be flexible

[foggy perch]

maybe

they're probably more lenient with remote for senior people yeah

[cobalt siren]

Really got blue balled damn

[foggy perch]

at least bb pay more than c1

[cobalt siren]

True

But I think I’m pretty set on being remote

Or staying in my city

Which is pretty hard to find remote for new grad lol

[foggy perch]

i don't think most companies will do remote for new grads

yeah

probably more likely to find tech in-person in your city than remote imo

[cobalt siren]

Lovely I’m glad I go to school in Ohio

[foggy perch]

oh

rough

idk many tech in ohio lmao

[cobalt siren]

Only decent tech ik in Ohio is Upstart

[pure mauve]

bruh it seems as if theres only a few companies actively hiring for new grad

[cobalt siren]

I might be content with just taking a pay cut and going to JPMC if I get an offer again this year

Cost of living is cheap which is good

[foggy perch]

rip any reason you're deadset on staying ohio

[cobalt siren]

Sounds silly but I wanna stay with my girlfriend

While she’s still in school and I hate doing long distance

I’m prioritizing my happiness over career haha it’s been an issue in my family too lol

[foggy perch]

rip fair enough

[cobalt siren]

Maybe monkey pox will cause remote again

Jk

True lol haha

[foggy perch]

basically poverty in bay area and nyc

[cobalt siren]

There’s a decent amount of companies in my area that are 80-90k starting Ohio which is very good here

[jaunty snow]

any amazon portal changes today?

[vital meteor]

gm everyone, just lining up at the bread line before starting work at amazon

[cobalt siren]

Steal the profile picture from @uncut epoch

[calm shale]

who did databricks tech phone already?

can i dm

[latent sun]

@maiden hill Did you apply for US Google? Also was this through a recruiter reachout -> when did you hear back after OA

[sonic coral]

This is fuckin cap too lmao

Some of you guys are in a bubble fr

[foggy perch]

i was meming lmao

[sonic coral]

Ah lmao, sometimes I can’t tell who’s meming and who’s serious here

[foggy perch]

fair enough

[maiden hill]

Yes, this is for US. Recruiter did reach out, and I finished OA on Thursday Sep 1st, heard back today.

[bleak relic]

Do you all have other strategies considering many companies are in a hiring freeze now?

Like backup plans?

[latent sun]

tyty

[bleak relic]

Are you applying to grad school on the side too?

Ah

[cobalt siren]

That’s dope, I’m guessing it’s pretty difficult to get an offer tho?

[teal jackal]

how goated do people have to be to get a recruiter from google reach out to them

[sonic coral]

me personally i grew up an hour from NYC and I just can't see myself living anywhere else

[teal jackal]

tbh youre speaking for the average american, but not for the cscareers tryhards

average person wanna have time to have fun, travel, do hobbies, raise a family
a lot of us have no life whatsoever

[jaunty basalt]

Wait an hour ru not Staten Island

[sonic coral]

i dont live close to the ferry lol, i take the express bus

[prime palm]

wtf is up with #grad_postings_old

why is it so dry

[coarse quiver]

Speak for u bro

[jaunty basalt]

Tough to chew on, haters can hate but Staten Island is nyc

[sonic coral]

express bus roughly 30-40 min but its a 10 minute walk lol

[vital meteor]

where would you want to work in canada though? like calgary?

[teal jackal]

i have no life whatsoever outside of cars and vidya, so i kinda wanna tryhard to find a nice job

[coarse quiver]

[jaunty basalt]

Half hour swim

[sonic coral]

yeah it def is but its 100% the most diff borough lol

[cobalt siren]

Gotcha did they reach out to you?

[jaunty basalt]

Nah cuz for a second I thought u were masking NJ which is a sin

[azure zephyr]

just got rolled by a LC hard graph question in an interview lmao

[sonic coral]

LMFAO you thought i was lying at being from SI

[peak ferry]

oof

[jaunty basalt]

[teal jackal]

fuck

another day and inbox still empty

no interviews

[vital meteor]

you dont have to live in literally vancouver proper though, most live in like burnaby, poco etc

[sonic coral]

imagine pretending to be from staten bro lol

but at least on the topic of ny, you don't have to give away 35% of your salary on rent lol

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah I pay no rent cuz I’m at home

[vital meteor]

i think using vancouver skytrains you can find a decent place within 30 min transit of vancouver

[sonic coral]

if you're willing to put up with slightly more a commute there's a lot of cheaper places than the city (manhattan) or even like deep north in the city which still has good train connections

[azure zephyr]

ive already accepted that if a company asks me a LC hard i'll just take the L so when I got asked that i was like welp lmao

[sonic coral]

lots of places within 30-40 min of manhattan that aren't an arm and a leg

[azure zephyr]

what about living in brooklyn?

[peak ferry]

still worth it to work thru it with them if they're helpful-- can be learning experience and a W

[sonic coral]

well yeah thats included in the "places within 30-40 min" lol

but some parts of BK are od expensive now

[jaunty basalt]

Still mad places to live though

[azure zephyr]

yeah she was super helpful and it was a great learning experience. i was able to come up with the psuedocode for an optimal solution but didnt have enough time to implement

[jaunty basalt]

It’s not tunnel vision to me, it’s laser focus

[azure zephyr]

yeah it seems to me like even in brooklyn youre paying like $2500+ for a studio or 1bdr

[vital meteor]

for canada apply to amazon google MS stripe shopify

[urban gulch]

This is all of Canada thats worth living in lawl

[peak ferry]

nice! maybe that's enough only she knows lol

[grand barn]

how much they pay? fr fr whats the range

[vital meteor]

150k-200k

[sonic coral]

2k is def decent for even subway distance, you’ll prob be closer to 40-50 min but it depends on where your office is

[cobalt siren]

Gotcha thanks, do you go to a top school? Seems like they only take the top guys

[sonic coral]

Also those wouldn’t even be suburbs

[plush crane]

@cobalt siren did your bb email specifically say on-site? I did my first phone last Thursday and have my second phone tomorrow. They called it a virtual technical interview

[peak ferry]

40-50m commute big L not worth it

[jaunty basalt]

U can’t really find and live in suburb

[sonic coral]

If it’s a single train with no transfers it’s ok

[vital meteor]

yea well you cant really avoid that though lol

[grizzled finch]

What is Rockset process like?

[peak ferry]

That’s how it works in most developed countries lol

[jaunty basalt]

All you do is sit for an hour

U be aight

[grand barn]

ur telling me 35% tax rates is normal?

[peak ferry]

yes

[sonic coral]

Ok yeah one thing I will agree is nyc taxes are batshit insane

[vital meteor]

its 52.5% after 220k =p

[grand barn]

no

[peak ferry]

That’s roughly the same as a high tax state in the US like cal or ny

[grizzled finch]

But what’s after? Just did phone

[azure zephyr]

lmao who knows! honestly glad it was with this company instead of a company i actually wanted to work for. its good practice and it definitely inspiring me to practice graph questions lmao

[urban gulch]

Canada taxes suck honestly

But thats what we get for being socialist

[azure zephyr]

i have another interview later today so hopefully that goes better than this one lmao

[peak ferry]

yea and u probably get more public services than cal or ny

[teal jackal]

"wait, you guys are getting interviews"

[vital meteor]

something something taxation is theft

[urban gulch]

If u make 150k USD in WA u take home about the same as someone making 220k CAD in Vancouver, with conversion + taxes

[pure mauve]

Bro even with fb on my resume I’m not getting interviews

It’s doomed

[peak ferry]

Oh it’s not that bad without transfers ig but I still wouldn’t want to. Actually idk nyc transit lines— are there 50min long single lines?

[jaunty basalt]

Yes

[teal jackal]

same with me and amazon

[jaunty basalt]

Cuz there are mad stops

[teal jackal]

this shit sucks

[peak ferry]

ic

[pallid kernel]

do u guys think amazon is going to stop hiring soon

[jaunty basalt]

And they aren’t bullet trains

[pure mauve]

at least Amazon getting u return offer

[teal jackal]

not me tho

[sonic coral]

There’s 1.5hr single lines lmao

[peak ferry]

no >30m commute

[pallid kernel]

my commute to work is 2.5 hours one way

[peak ferry]

I value my free time and sleep time lol

[pallid kernel]

i wish i was joking

[sonic coral]

Average commute time in nyc is ~45min btw

[peak ferry]

bro 💀

[pallid kernel]

but i really cant afford to move to the city

rent is like 3k there

[sonic coral]

Where is this

[pallid kernel]

vancouver

[grand barn]

WOW.

[urban gulch]

Not to mention 150k in WA is fairly achievable while 220k in Van is really rare

[sonic coral]

You might find this interesting

https://www.bestplaces.net/transportation/city/new_york/new_york

[peak ferry]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I’m not gonna pretend like I know about quebecs healthcare system. All I can say is we don’t get healthcare from the govt and still pay a similar tax rate. And I’ve heard generally positive things about Canadian healthcare but I’m no expert.

[sonic coral]

18.9% of people have a commute greater than an hour

Who are nyc residents

[peak ferry]

Depression

[sonic coral]

If you’re hybrid and go to office 2-3 times a week I don’t think it’d be that bad

Especially if there’s stuff to do nearby your home

[peak ferry]

Cuts average to like 30/way but like still rough

[sonic coral]

You generally would be better off optimizing your commute in ny based on stuff you do in free time rather than work commute

[peak ferry]

tbh I’m perfectly fine paying 35%+ in taxes IF public services exist. which they basically don’t

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah cutting commute is not worth it

Or doesn’t get you much

As much as you’d want

[peak ferry]

ic

[jaunty basalt]

Just live in office at that point

[peak ferry]

I’m not accustomed to the city life, so cutting commute just means not living in a far off suburb to me lol

[sonic coral]

Yeah like if you have tons of shit in walking or <20min subway distance but your commute to work is 45-60min that’s worth if you only go to office 2-3 times a week

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah so I commuted to school senior year

[sonic coral]

Yeah that’s the thing in nyc, living an hour from the city doesn’t mean you’re in bumfuck nowhere

[jaunty basalt]

And I was barely on time thinking I could optimize

I took an hour to get to school and now half hour to get to the office

Same train

Different times

[grand barn]

I get what u mean lol. if ur coming from a place where is there 0 services then any services is an improvement. But what is so funny is that canadians are always patting themselves on the back, we have some services and look down south, we have it so great! but I have family in europe and they pay similar taxes and the services are nowhere NEAR close to the quality or quantity

[pallid kernel]

i would love to not have a 5 hour commute to work anymore 😭

i dont even have data

so i just sit on the bus for 5 hours and stare out the window

very boring

[sonic coral]

I 100% agree, nyc taxes are absolutely a scam

[peak ferry]

yea fs always room to improve. ig my perspective is better services not less taxes, tho our taxes are lower and people have the option of moving to a low tax state here so ig it’s diff

[vital meteor]

Fuck them kids I want lower taxes

[sonic coral]

MTA pockets so much fuckin money and we’re still in the 70s when it comes to transit lol (which granted is better than most of the US)

[peak ferry]

bro everyone else is in the Stone Age

[jaunty basalt]

You know whats even more crazy, my Atlassian nyc offer was the same as Seattle and Texas but only da bae urea is more

[peak ferry]

I will gladly give money in exchange for legit public transit

[jaunty basalt]

I didn’t make a typo there

[peak ferry]

that’s just dumb most companies put bay and nyc in the same bracket

[sonic coral]

Most of the good shit about nyc is stuff from the community rather than the city gov tbh

[lapis cove]

agree, lowering taxes will just exacerbate the issue while creating further wealth inequality

[sonic coral]

Amazon doesn’t lol

Bay is slightly higher

[lapis cove]

but massive service reform is necessary across the US

[peak ferry]

close enough

[jaunty basalt]

But they do put nyc above most the others

[sonic coral]

True

[jaunty basalt]

That’s aight

But Atlassian

[peak ferry]

Seattle == NYC is just dumb

[lapis cove]

[sonic coral]

[peak ferry]

[sonic coral]

We need to be ready for the lizard people

[azure zephyr]

[peak ferry]

[grand barn]

dw all our tax money is lost somwhere. we dont have the budget

[peak ferry]

I was told this is great if you like getting paid for not doing all that much

[peak ferry]

lost into skunkworks projects to invade the american mainland and steal our uh guns and obesity

yeehaw 🔫

[azure zephyr]

the problem is that they don't pay that much, plus the moral aspect of it lmao 😭

[peak ferry]

understandable

[grand barn]

there was a reddit post about a guy who worked for those companies and his mom disowned him coz she came as a refugee of war and he just wouldnt get why

[sonic coral]

disowning is a bit much, what if it was his only job offer outta college

If he had multiple options and picked defense then yeah I’d get her decision

[peak ferry]

I mean I can understand strong values -- esp when ur lit a war refugee

[sonic coral]

I feel like disowning also doesn’t just happen outta the blue, there had to have been some animosity before
