Does that mean you don't plan on returning?
fwiw I got OA fine for spring 23
Do they also have the mega backdoor Roth?
no idea
YOu can check on levels
yeah probably not
got reached out to by two other managers looking to pick me up on aws but idk yet
I've talked to a few people that have had not too great experiences this past summer with Zon. You'll be alright with NG grind.
Could always try for another team ¯_(ツ)_/¯
What is this
Feels weird to see a bunch of server people from last year and we're already going for NG roles already.
Nice, wasn't aware that they have a list of companies offering mega backdoor Roth
yeah I kinda got thrown into the deep end without any guidance and the manager quit so i got shafted
lol the summer went by super quick thats for sure
You put money into your 401k and by some fuckin magic it goes into your very based ROTH IRA account (very tax friendly)
kinda same
Yeah I forgot how much time went by where I didn't have to do an OA or look at LC lmao
Literally magic
ssay swear, what happened witchu
Tax loophole for people above the pay limit for roth contributions ~140k to put up to 37k into a roth ira
the regular max is 6k

lmaooo ik, its super weird grinding again
The rich get richer
vague project, lack of guidance, manager keeps ghosting
What's dumb is that IRS knows about back door roth IRA lol. They should just let you contribute to it normally instead of going a roundabout way.
Oh damn ic
Really the should close it
But I'll use it until they do lol
Nah we need as many options for retirement accounts as possible
thats rough man, only thing i can say is that it happens
so nize that team and find a new spot
It's all RNG for both the recruiting and the actual internship.
a bad team at zon is so bad it really makes me believe the shit they write on blind
if you're above the limit for roth contributions youll be fine without it lol
People with that much income were never the target for the policy
I felt like a monkey and my manager still gave me a recommendation. Meanwhile, my friend who I felt was way more qualified didn't get one.
Diff teams/managers. Mine was just really chill.
Just glad i had a good team
good for u
rise up king and or queen
💁
Does anyone feel that bay area isn't really worth the price?
literally not worth it at all
My summer roomate grinded way harder than me and his manager and mentor blindsided him in the final 1 on 1
No bad feedback the whole time then some bogus for not inclined at the final review
was there for 3 months and saw literal human shit on the ground on popular areas relatively often
Honestly I wonder if they got a PIP(more like non-return) quota for interns
Idk, i think his mentor only did it for promo or something and didn't actually gaf
is everyone here except me a Zon intern? lol
There are many of us
Thats what happens when u work for a body shop
Still prolly returning tho
Then there's WD where it's chill but whenever you mention you work there...ppl message you to fix their recruiting application
Western Digital?
workday lol
lol
Y can't workday just make a bootstrap form
i did that the other day, barely used html/css before
better UI than workday
I'm sure theres a good reason tho
Are you secretly making the application system worse so you have less competition
🧠
If people rage quit the application it increases my chances
Probably true. But historically the salaries there always scaled WAY better than the rest of the country
Im not talking about salary floors, but scaling
Like to such a degree that it outweighs the COL
Remote work is changing that tbh, we are at a point where u can be LCOL and retire at 40 if ur dead set
idrk
What do u think is the minimum to retire
depending on location the col adjustment to be out of the bay is smaller than the real COL difference
No idea, FIRE is not in my plans tbh, i should plan it tho
Have seen 3million often as a goal
Fire-calculator.xyz (goto this website)
Seems too ambitious
3 m a year equates to 120k per year indefinitely
FatFIRE 
That’s way too much. I could live 50k a year in TX for sure, im from a really LCOL area
Even after inflation i would bet my daddy’s ford f150 i can survive on 50k a year
Fair fair
I wanna have like lavish vacations and pay for my kids college and all that so its prob pretty different
Very jealous of anyone who can retire at 35 tho tbh
Yeah Fr
To me that is honestly worth the hustle
I wanna retire by 40
But yeah 35 would be insane
Think about all the FAANG millionaires who could’ve retired by 30
40 would be about 15 yrs or more of ft experience for most
Or the tsla ones
Just gotta be continuously interviewing imo
25x your yearly spend is the general rule of thumb for FIRE
I'm not. I feel like I'd get bored real quick.
I’ve resigned myself to that for the first couple years
Yep 4%
When every day is your day off, nothing feels special anymore.
It’s about having the freedom to do what u want
I mean i have a very edgy opinion about that, that we’ve been conditioned by society to believe work is the only way to feel fulfilled
What is fire
U can feel great being a bum
Unless you have other hobbies to feel like you're contributing to something
U can work about that startup that you previously couldn’t afford
Bug@i
!!!!!
The financial freedom part is great
You can go volunteer at that food bank full time
Not being bound by your job to pay bills
Dont underestimate the beauty of traveling, imagine being 40 in good health and being able to travel without worrying about PTO
The human life is insanely short, might as well use more of it do so something that truly fulfills you (work or otherwise)
OR just keep starting your own dumbass startups
thankfully im not human
thats my goal
I mean do you seriously have nothing you enjoy doing outside work
Hobbies are great but I kinda get the feeling that if I replaced my workday with them it would get boring
anyone want to do https://binarysearch.com/room/Dim-SUM(Users)-JgWECbIQo4?
Learn algorithms together on binarysearch. Create a room, invite your friends, and race to finish the problem.
guys, for zon, anyone get an email that it's only behavioral?
anyone who applied to google through online application hear back yet?
U won’t hear back til late September
That’s how it is every year
😦 damn it I have an october 1st deadline for some of my offers
thanks for the info tho!
u aint got the dawg in you
Why's there a spike around 2000
This is true with a lot of companies but idk why
Is it because of the Y2K crap? But idk how stocks will shoot up
Does anyone know how long it takes to get part 2 of the Amazon OA?
Behavioral means 1x30 then right
2000 .com bubble
Bunch of internet tech companies coming online getting a bunch of funding and then it crashed
2000 is when internet released mainstream
Yeah people do draw some correlations to it
I c
With web3/crypto
techie is like 24-25

what
I am shleep
.com bubble
bro I was born in 1998
the fuck
old you think I am

Boomer 
literally 2 years older than you
jesus thats old
I am the cut off between zoomer and boomer. If you are even a second older, you're a boomer. An oldie.
- Top g
this is one of the most retarded takes I have ever seen lmao
no deadass drop yall ages
you can think of a better word than that to describe something you think is stupid, you’re better than that
oh is 2023 a woke group that does not like that word, sorry
idiotic
It’s a lazy slur
this is true
Pitiful
Jokes aside there was an Andrew Tate clip where he was like "I am the cutoff between rich and poor. If you're even a cent poorer, you're a brokie, a peon, a poor" or something like that lol
huh I never saw it as a slur, damn I really am boomer
if any of yall 30+ lemme talk to u


anybody get exciting interview results after the long weekend?

I love that referring to someones disabling condition derogatorily is is “not woke”
I finally got 1 phone interview
Where techie
Out of the sea of OA
Nice
Did anyone listen from amazon recently?
Where
Fannie Mae LOL
I'm literally scraping Fortune 500 for new grad roles, I'm desperate
yeah I guess I thought I get a free pass with my clinical ASD diagnosis, guess not. tbh that was when I was like 5yrs old so
that was rude of me, I am sorry everyone

your moms house 

i heard back from canonical
i rejected them before because of their stupid long interview process
but im desperate
Yeah I feel that coderQuad repo is p incomplete
so i will do it
It's crowdsourced so definitely incomplete but it's the best there is
Company Description: At Fannie Mae, futures are made. The inspiring work we do makes an affordable home a reality and a difference in the lives of Americans. Every day offers compelling opportunities to work with exceptional people and help make an impact on the future of the housing industry. Join us and be part of an inclusive, supportive team...
Idek, I was hoping to find something better here
CoderQuad or any of the forks don't get updated fast enough imo
I just have no life and search every company
If you peak the pull requests you can get most apps pretty quick.
rthats how it should be
These are also in MCOL keep that in mind
You can also refer to #2023_grad_process to see who applies to which companies
Yea I'm just saying don't compare it to bay area salaries
they're gonna be higher naturally
if its what it takes 😤
bruh how do u even pass hrt’s resume screening
js got back to me quickly but just got rejected by hrt without an oa

GPA is the game
That's odd. HRT OAs come easy
They resume screen after OA
i thought so too
Cause even perfect scores get rejected
Maybe you're late.
No. GCA is only for certain positions of theirs. For Algo Dev, there's just a test, no score.
I’m out of oas
And that makes me sad
Take first, reneg later
Can I get a return offer 😢
if you say big tech standards it's probs on the lower end
if you say overall tech standards it's good
ya I'd call that high/W lol
if you say overall people standards it's very good
I feel like you need to differentiate the scale tbh
big N type places: low
overall tech: pretty good
currently there are not THAT many big tech places handing out 200k+ offers
or tbh there aren't in normal time either, just esp not right now
actually tbh I wouldn't say 150k is low for big tech
I'd say average
or just a tiny below average
150k is not low at all
since to me I imagine amazon as the bar for what average big tech salary is at
TC? maybe we have diff definitions of big tech. like FAANG companies are 200+ ballpark in HCOL bay
amazon bay is like 210 or smth
really
has anybody worked fully remote and just chilled at a beach side property somewhere warm ?
ya it got bumped
150k seattle > 200k tc bay
it's 180 in seattle iirc
are you sure 210k tc isn't return offers?
since I'm saying tc for general applicants
210 might be return but it'd still be like 200 ng, they give like 10 or smth to returns
it's not that much more unlike fb
150k in seattle stretches more than 200k bay area right?
you'd need to do the math, but personally I'd rather stay in the bay at 200
180 def stretches further lol
so solo rent for studio is 2300-2400
in bay area a studio is like 3500-3600
plus u have digusting taxes
whaa no way, unless u want a very nice one
yea ik
it's more than NY but less than if you live in NYC
150k tc seattle == 200k bay area id say
I'd argue it's closer to like 170 but eh close enough splitting hairs
actually 150k tc seattle == 190k bay area
150k tc == 190k tc bay area
COL calculators are often bad ime if they just apply a flat rate
depends on area
nah just in general a flat rate conversion isn't gonna work. the only thing that's actually a rate applied to income is taxes
otherwise it depends on what you actually spend ur money on
bay area is definitely way more expensive than seattle lol
id say 40k more expensive is realistc
Col calculators take into factor that you have dependencies and buying a house
Which almost none of us are doing
like if u save most of ur money, COL differences don't scale on the nominal dollars saved
Off the rip
it actually used apartments
nerd wallet
just click on link
it used a fair rate
its realistic
Median 2-bedroom apartment rent
$2,724 - Seattle
$4,128 - SF
yes in luxury apartments
like suppose u make $1000 and u need $200 to live in location A and $100 to live in location B. Location A costs 200% as much as B, but it's $800 saved vs $900 saved
flat rates are just not good for COL adjustments
luxury apartments u can expect to pay that much
but its a fair estimate better than random ballpark
imo
my ballpark conversion is tax & housing comparison bc tax is actually a rate on income, and housing is my largest expense and is most location variable
housing or apartment?
"housing" just meaning place to live, I personally look at the type of apts I'd likely live in
which is like a 1bd or studio
The average rent for an apartment in San Francisco is $3,397. The average rent for an apartment in Seattle is $2,334.
this is realistic
if ur getting a studio
my studio actually costs that much lol
for seattle
rentcafe is pretty good
bro "average rents" are also SO inaccurate bc they don't account for the average type of housing or location
ur not going to find a single in SF for less than 3k unless its the hood
if I worked in the bay I wouldn't live in sf firstly
same with seattle
ur not finding an solo apartment for elss than 2k unless its the hood
actually South Bay cities can be more expensive
in seattle
Than sf
^ true, its only inexpensive in bay area if you live east bay which is lots of crime + like a 1hr+ commute to work
other places aren't "inexpensive" but like u can def find apts in decent locations for <3k
nooo
probably still like >2500 tho
ur going to live in the hood
for sure
or have 200 sq ft
studi
studio
170 sq ft studio sounds reasonable for $2700 in sf
for sure
Even in south bay this summer when I looked at apts most studios were around 3500ish
bro like yea nice lux apts are 3500 but you REALLY don't need to spend that much
ik u can spend $3k and not live in hood or <$3k and join the crips
bro p sure my friends spend 4k/mo to rent a 3bd house that's distinctively NOT in the hood
im talking about studios
houses != studio
yea and I'm saying 3k is more than enough to get a goddamn studio
yeah with no ac even have fun in 100+ like that lol
I've said not in SF
Dude I lived in south bay over summer and have many full time friends tehre
I'm talking south bay like mtn view and sunnyvale
yea ok that's also where I was looking and there are <3k options in the mtv/sunnyvale/north sj area
for 170 sq ft
north sj is unsafe
bruh idk what to say about "safety" north sj is not the hood lmao
i dont know any tech companies in north sj
are there?
must be the hood
because prices will be lower
no tech companies there
tf? it's literally a fuck ton of office complexes
Ik I felt when taking public transit, the orange line stations there def had homeless ppl around
san jose?
compared to like sunnyvale/mtn view where you really don't worry about it at all
is that what ur talking about?
oh yea there are some tech company
north sj is weird
to say
i just say san jose
was just trying to type faster
yea san jose is silicon valley still
like see this: https://www.trulia.com/c/ca/san-jose/121-tasman-121-e-tasman-dr-san-jose-ca-95134--2117194146
and I haven't personally lived in north san jose, I've only been there during the day and probably more homeless than mtv but I didn't feel unsafe
nah more homeless for me == more unsafe. Just too many druggs
drug addicts
and u can probably see ppl shooting up in broad daylight
Yeah maybe you feel safe, idk I just feel creeped out and like I'll get robbed anywhere
there's a line between homeless and so many homeless people doing shifty shit that I feel unsafe
I dont like homeless druggies shouting in my face everyday lol would rather avoid
like the 90% of the city of SF is a no go zone by that definition
same
so this is a fuckn dumb conversation, yes if u want to live in the nicest places in any given location it will be expensive
NY >>>>>>>>>>> Seattle > Bay area
I mean I also don't want to live in sf lol
NY is way nicer
bruh have you actually lived in NY? it has less homeless folk but it still has quite a few homeless folk
yes I literally just said that
yea I don't deny that
my friend got threatened by a homeless person walking home at like 8pm in a nice part of NYC lol
like less than a month into living there
and also homeless person wanted to fight me
as well
when crossing intersection
see ppl constantly picking up used cigarettes
ppl sitting down on sidewalk yelling random stuff
ppl doing hand signs and waving magic spells as they stare down passerbys
bunch of weird stuff
haven't lived in NYC personally so can't compare that aspect of it, probably less? but still a thing yo
ive only been here a month lol
and seeing all this weird stuff
OH YEA, also while getting haircut at barber - SAW A DUDE WALKING BY TWICE AND WAVING A LEAF AS HE SMILED INSIDE AT US
inside
!!!!!!
!!!
Are there any big cities without a homeless problem? Seems like it's unavoidable in any major tech hub
not possible
in the US is seems fucked in general prob less in chi/ny? chi has it's own safety issues tho. don't know how southern cities fare
If companies pay a lot, col is probably high, and with high col comes people who can't afford rent
idk if atlanta has homeless issue but I'm told it's pretty shifty lol
gl
provo, utah is probably chill
How come no one says they love me back?
Yesss
Homeless problems prob less bad in boston and nyc since weather too inhospitable during winter
Luv u 💓
when i took the internship OA there were string questions for the first 2 and a graph problem for the 3rd question
LESS GO
do companies actually look at shit like your github profile when they resume screen
I mean if you’re constantly allowed to indulge in your hobbies…they can become a lot less enjoyable. Remember you’re doing this consistently for the rest of your life.
Having the financial freedom is great because you have more options. I’d rather still work at least a little for the social aspect and so time off still feels special.
may i please have 1 (one) (uno) (singular) update in my inbox today 
I hope we get an interview today

They love me back
Ratio etherium sucks
i just arrived at Houston bus station
this homeless man said "I love Asian people, Asian people are nice to me, here I will show you the way"
I dont need his help so i KEEP SAYING NO, we walked for like 30 seconds then he asked me for money 😐
Sussy
(i have a lot of interviews)Sometimes I secretly think they only read my resume when they start the interview.
2 companies did check my github. 1 is a small startup with 5 people so it makes sense they check
Ah
So don't worry
My github is a hot mess
3/4th of my repos are empty or unfinished
I privated them all recently
same here, i dont even have my github on my resume, i got interviews doe
But what if you have jt
Will they check
Seems like answer is no
I'm gonna work on my graphics engine anyways
same
Sussy sussy 
if I answered a question under the hints given by the interviewer, should it be considered I successfully answered this question, or failed? because I answered it under the hints he gave.
Pass in most cases, but if your interviewer is a douche it's a fail
idk if it's just me or what but it feels like the ghost rate is very high considering I'm a senior, go to a t4 school and have faang on my resume. like even with referrals I'm not getting movement at some companies, I've applied to about a 100 and only like 20 have responded in any way
teeeechnically most companies are just starting their processes. its still early
come back in october and we can see if the response rate really is bad this season
id imagine with hiring freezes companies are still tryna figure out their 2023 headcount
20% is still pretty high
Does MSFT give an OA or is it straight resume screen to phone?
You applied to 100 already?
I'm 22 for 0
Got an update for zon final
Isn't 20% pretty good?
Booked for Friday
the way I do it is gunfiring out applications over a day and then waiting a week to do it again
Ah, so u resubmit if it's been a while
maybe? idk it feels like I should be getting a lot more OAs, especially at smaller companies
nah never, not unless someone tells me to cause they can refer
Maybe they see you with the Zon and know that you wouldn't take them anyways? Making this up btw.
But does anyone know what MSFT process is like?
maybe, but if I'm applying, shouldn't they care?
Where are you finding these?
I have no job at the moment so I'm applying everywhere
The Coderquad repo looks a little bare
Nah the readme is at 134 lines
Unless you count multiple positions for the same company?
I should do more searching on linkedin though
I count each app separately yeah
I applied to like 3 positions at seatgeek or smth iirc
Ah then I'm at like 32
Anyone knows how is the company Verse Medical?
I don't even know what 90% of the companies I apply to do
Respect the grind that you're doing despite having a really nice return offer though
Would you be in NYC if you go back to c1?
Actually I still don’t know yet but it should be most likely nyc
I am pretty much just looking for companies better than C1
Nice. I saw c1's TC has gone up quite a bit.
Yea
I'm still waiting to hear back about return offer with WD.
I see
Going to be a lot less stressful if I do get one
Yea it definitely feels good to have something decent as a backup
Going to need to change my name to "don't dm me to fix WD website" if I do though
Lol
is 826 enough for hrt?
Nothing is enough for them...
^
can anyone give me the link to amazon new grad discord
Where at?
LETS GOOO
Congrats dawg
Folks is 842 good for HRT?
C1
Yeah that's fine
I wouldn't submit any codesignal score to hrt that isn't 1200/1200
Happy for you dubya
Thx broski
has anyone done bloomberg coffee chat?
actually for hrt algo eng role which isnt gca i was timing out on some test cases on q3 and i still got phone, but idk maybe its diff for the gca role
ah
We don't want you, but here's some promotional material saying how cool it would be if we did
Did anyone do the 2 Bloomberg technical rounds in the on campus day? I only got asked 1 question on my 2nd round even though I had like 30 minutes to do a second one
so true
Anybody got any info on the optiver process?
i watched that first video and yikes lmao
Lol this doesn’t beat that braindead Cisco (or citrix I don’t fuckin remember) recruiter last season who sent a mass email about some hackathon but cc’d everyone without hiding their email
So hundreds of kids emails got completely leaked
Literally just did mine lmao
I still occasionally get spam on my professional email cuz of this lol
Anyone know how long after the Bloomberg coffee chat you get the first interview?
two onsites are scheduled for today 
Has anyone gotten any responses from Amazon after an interview recently? It's been a week already without a response
last time i interviewed with them it took a month to get an offer after interview
They said it would take 5 business days
yo whats up lol
what did they ask if u dont mind sharing
Incredibly chill, interviewer just told me ab what he does, asked me to talk ab some projects I’ve done and some minor technical details
Told me that interviews should start late September or early Oct but saw some ppl here interviewing so idk what’s up with that
How far out are they scheduling interviews now?
thanks and gl
Np, gl to you too
i just got invited to ask basic questions
idk yet
waiting for recruiter to reply again
Yoooo dude it’s been a minute since I seen you on here
is it too late to start applying for new grad lol
like i mean it’s never too late
but how fucked am i lol
Amazon rejects come in within 48 hours right
No
So I think you're good
Apps just started rolling in
It’s actually decently early
i thought august is prime season
No, it could take the full 5 business days to get a reject too
A lot of apps still aren’t even out yet
Wait you didn’t do the technical over zoom first?
yeah i’m exploring options
You’re a 2023 grad? I could’ve sworn you were same year as me but I guess i was wrong lol
But yeah def explore your options
yeah 2023
It’s sept bro
@sonic coral for BB, did you have a technical phone on zoom or did you start with phone screen/coffee chat?
first interview for bb after recruiter call is a 1h technical phone
Oh I never got a recruiter call then
I only got the invite for technical phone on zoom
No recruiter call / coffee chat
That's interesting. I went straight to 1st technical
is Microsoft taking its extra time to reject or continue with New Grad applications? or is it me lol
the Transferred status hasn't changed for around 2 weeks
not just u
i feel MS doesnt know what its doing rn
well the interns are already in the move
last year I got the phone interview around these days
for the same role
but they also delayed the posting so maybe they'll start emailing the last days of September
• If we were to ask you multiple & specific questions testing your knowledge in coding, would you feel comfortable doing so without a computer
what does this mean?
whiteboarding
will C1 actually physically whiteboard?
probably whiteboarding or coding in paper
or will it just be like notepad codign without code execution
I didn’t do that last year
or maybe answering coding questions by just talking ur thought process out
C1 process is fully remote right?
I don't think so, they say without a computer lol
have u done it b4?
Yeah
Bro they probably ask you trivia or a what would you do
ah
yeah nothing yet so far
makes sense
John quinones style
anybody find the entry level SWE app for google? thought their hiring freeze would've ended by now
same for amazon
lol what
It can open up again like it did in 2022
man that's cursed
But yeah they have it open for like a week or two and then close it
is there any consequence for saying "no" to that question?
• If we were to ask you multiple & specific questions testing your knowledge in coding, would you feel comfortable doing so without a computer
Had 15 min coffee chat first
im willing to whiteboard if i have to
Why tf would you say no
Technical phone
so i never did the stubhub codesignal OA but they just sent me a codility. is that weird?
Nah
has anyone taken the stubhub codility? just got it
Some places just let you through if ur afk 
Looks like people have different processes with BB then
Yeah I also hate Codesignal
codility isnt that bad
GM is a joke
imo
I’ll take anything lmao
U gotta have endurance
its all behavioral have your STAR answers ready
Like that’s a true test of behavioral cuz ur in a call with two people for two hours 
Straight behavioral
At that point it’s a date 
yep which is why im glad to see that theyre just ignoring my missing codesignal 😂 im guessing a lot of ppl just didn't do it
I don’t get how you can even ask 2 hrs worth of question?? Wtf
got rejected
I feel like in 5 questions I’ll have explained my entire life lol
for behavioral have like 5-10 different situations ready (...and dont be afraid to make it up/embellish)
Wtf
Also at what point did you pass out lol
Well at least you didn’t pass out during introductions
tbh valid
“So I’m X I work on the Y team here at bloom- are uh are you okay?”
at least they'll never forget you now
I should have my phone interview from bloomberg now
i didn't get any call, its 5 mins past my scheduled time
Just wait
in applications in scheduled call, the interview agenda is deleted
They can call within 10min after the start time
is this also expected ?
thanks, will update
wheres this "interview agenda"? is it just where the time and date is
with the hackerrank link and such
thats what is missing, once my scheduled time is crossed
its past 10 mins now, i am freaking out. This is the only call out of 100+ apps 🥲
Anyone here who gave their Amazon final on Friday last week and heard back?
have you tried contacting the recruiter?
emailing now
I applied to amazon a month back and haven’t heard anything yet 😕
Anyone do stubhub phone yet?
Can anyone please share the stubhub new grad position link? Much appreciated.
Can't find it on their website or coderquad
I think they took it down
for the tiktok app, there's no general app right, u just gotta apply to whatever app in particular interests you?
🤔
sounds like work
Did anyone hear back from HRT for the SWE position? I got 843 on the GCA but haven’t heard anything in 2 weeks
I applied on aug 2 nd no response yet
where app link
Ayo guys
emergency
In amazon back to back interview
do I stay in the same interview for the next interview
Gap interviewer is late 🤨
I think it’s closed now
Ok I guess the interviewer is just being late or not showing up at all lmao
bad luck
Lmao same
heyyyyy so unprofessional
🤣
What do I do now, it has been 10 mins since the start time
Amazon is super interviewer dependent imo one of the guys I had didn’t know what position I was applying to
Contact recruiter if possible
I didn't have a recruiter this year for amazon sadly
From the previous conversations, one would assume that the offers would come within 1-3 working days
I guess I will just email the general sde candidate email
Has anyone gotten a Roblox offer that isn't return offer yet?
Yes
More time to prepare, that's good
I agree tbh
when did u apply again?
hoping to this week lol, had final last monday
Oh good luck! How'd it go? I have my final today.
i thought it went well but who knows
9/1, took codesignal same day
What should I expect for the Values & Creative Problem Solving interview?
idk lmao they just asked me behavioral questions
god damn thats a fast OA response
i asked halfway through about it and interviewer was like idk i was just told this is values interview
Oh lol. Thanks for the heads up!
is C1 final actually a 4 hour interview?
please keep in mind that all interviews take place from 9:00AM EST-1:00 PM EST or 1:00PM EST-5:00 PM EST
its 3x1 with a 1h break
i had no idea code signal had practice questions on there
is that the whole power day thing people are talking about?
that makes things much easier lol
yeah but the questions arent the same as leetcode which is dumb
tru
wym? c1 calls their final "power day"
the wording sucks hard
codesignal is MAD annoying
yup
i dont remember what my amazon interview was with but it was either code signal or something similar and i spent probably 10-15 minutes just trying to understand the questions
did anyone get the stubhub codility without applying?
better than codility and hireview OAs
i have codility for Microsoft LMAO
hirevue is evil
codility is acceptable
codility < codesignal
because i don't remember ever applying there and i never received an application confirmation via email
codility is like always so fukin wordy
the question i had for stubhub was like 6 paragraphs of text and 3 gifs
just for a simple merge intervals type question
what is expected of bloomberg phone interview?
little bit of behav and 1-2 lc
lc med?
easy/med
yeah tagged
if i remember correctly
yeeeee
tysm
whens urs
would reapplying to a company with a referral help after being resume rejected
gotta schedule
Probably not
Referrals don’t usually help before even being rejected unless it’s from a pretty high up person
is the phone interview automated for bb? or they check the resume?
Idk I got my phone pretty quick from bb after applying
But it wouldn’t make sense to be automated
yeah had the same doubt lol
it did say technical right? not just chat with recruiter?
When u applied?
SCHLUMBERGER
That name is making me crave a burger
If I turn down an offer last year do you guys thing they would be less likely to get an offer this year?
Did my folks who were waiting on a offer from Amazon get they offers today?
Not me
for all the zon folks
Time to grind Elden Ring to distract myself from the painful Zon wait
Does anyone have any idea when Amazon jobs start?
One day delivery 
Did they give an option to start in the summer?
I think it’s based on whatever you tell em
You can start in January too
Or next month
congrats!
spill the tc
nope resume reject
have not heard back yet
^
while ago yuh
CONGRATS DOGGIE
guys, amazon or akuna?
amazon
why
akuna pays more than amazon though
Akuna no question
~$35k
akuna by a mile
akuna esp jf u already have amzn
yeah if you have amazon already just go akuna
Skill issue
Isn't Amazon like $210 these days
Wym?
true true
That's only for bay area return interns
Yeah
And akuna is like 220
I'd just pick whatever you like more, ignoring pay
(but def try to negotiate and bid them against each other)
Amazon offers this year. I don't think they are negotiable but could be wrong though
when did you apply for scale ai
I had a referral app last monday
and no communication since
oh damn
no wonder
has ANYONE got past duolingo resume screen 😭
I didn't get rejected yet....
-10k for the first year sign on or both first and second year?
anyone know anything about bloomberg final? I hear it has a resume review section, plus the questions are graph-related and tagged on lc
I hope tagged on lc => available on here
This is after the recruiter phone, right?
yeah thats pretty much it
although the bot tagged are a little behind what lc has
Anyone have an updated tagged list for bb?
I had my 2x60 with Amazon yesterday, and for the first interview the Chime link got messed up by them and my interviewer said they sent the wrong links to the interviewers and interviewees. However, they sent a new link for the second round and that was completed successfully. They said they would re-schedule my first interview but i did not receive any response from them after that, did anyone else face this too? Any suggestions?
fuck graph related? 😭
F
tbf there r only a couple graph questions in tagged... it seems they really like OOD questions though
graph? fuck
if you could only study 3 things id have to say OOD, stacks, graphs/matrix
yeah I'm starting the graph part and the bloomberg tagged questions on cscareers dev soon lol
is it phone -> final?
OOD seems to be their main thing though, underground system is what I heard as being very common on glassdoor
I think there's a second interview? I skipped to final because of referral
so you went phone -> final?
has anyone gotten a duolingo OA for new grad yet? or just rejections/ghosts
normally its phone->onsite->hm round
ud probs still have the hm round after
idk what my referral person said about me but it must have been something cracked
yeah but that usually isn't like a chance of rejection right?
helped bill gates launch microsoft
yeah seems to be just behav so pretty good chances
bless
sort by frequency and you're 👌
yeah I'm praying
you're goated, from one darth to another
the top 3 are all design questions 💀
these r up to date
does bloomberg phone have OOD?
ordered stream gotta be the dumbest ood question
decent number of graphs in there too
don't say that let's all manifest it for us
Do you prefer finance or product?
and which location is better for you?
i never woulda solved that if i had seen it for the first time in an interview
lemme try that one
I need to grind out more lc aaaaa
start the timer now
i got 12 days to go thru top 20
its not hard its just the problem statement is awfully worded
im thru the top 15 and i got 2 days left D:
bruh I want to die lmao
this is the hardest thing to parse ever
theres a reason why
product
Man I took my first bloomberg phone 16 days ago and they're just sending the 2nd phone I thought you guys said bloom response time was fast 
no preference
anyone know what forward ng offers look like?
If product is your preference theres probably something to be said for working product or product adjacent at amazon instead of an algo or analysis dev for hft
Unless you hated ur zon team then not worth
i wanna know this too, bump
seems like i cant find data points for it
Anyone taken forward final?
Wait, I thought bloomberg had two phone interviews, 3-4 hours is this the final?
day 8 of waiting for amazon kms
nah they only have one phone, thats the final
what was ur process so far
is it just behav phone -> tech phone -> final?
i think thats final
I have a fall internship how am I supposed to find 3-4 hours in the middle of the workweek 
damn amazon seems backlogged
fr
akuna no contest
its gonna be 3 weeks before portal update at this point
what day did you take your final, and was it 2x60?
8/26 and yes
you'll get ur offer this week
akuna easily
im just salty that the interns who interviewed a week after me already got their portal update
sadge
akuna pays way more than amazon
sadge
Does anyone know about the process for Circle new grad position? after passing OA?
its 250k in chicago
akuna pay is good
