That's what I thought as well but who knows. I graduate in spring 23 so don't know if that was an issue

#

Does that mean you don't plan on returning?

Do they also have the mega backdoor Roth?

You put money into your 401k and by some fuckin magic it goes into your very based ROTH IRA account (very tax friendly)

Nah we need as many options for retirement accounts as possible

outer radish

so nize that team and find a new spot

It's all RNG for both the recruiting and the actual internship.

mystic glacier
#

a bad team at Zon vs. Capital One

#

which would u guys choose

outer radish
#

a bad team at zon is so bad it really makes me believe the shit they write on blind

simple elk
#

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

west egret
#

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.

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

#

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

Sr swe in bay for a tech company is bonkers

#

Dont buy a house

simple elk
#

depending on location the col adjustment to be out of the bay is smaller than the real COL difference

nocturne oriole
#

Have seen 3million often as a goal

Fire-calculator.xyz (goto this website)

nocturne oriole
#

Seems too ambitious

night magnet
#

3 m a year equates to 120k per year indefinitely

simple elk
#

FatFIRE thanos

night magnet
#

Which seems solid

#

Yeah same

#

I’m all aboard fatFire

#

6m minimum 😃

nocturne oriole
#

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

night magnet
#

Fair fair

#

I wanna have like lavish vacations and pay for my kids college and all that so its prob pretty different

nocturne oriole
#

Very jealous of anyone who can retire at 35 tho tbh

night magnet
#

Yeah Fr

nocturne oriole
#

To me that is honestly worth the hustle

night magnet
#

I wanna retire by 40

#

But yeah 35 would be insane

#

Think about all the FAANG millionaires who could’ve retired by 30

nocturne oriole
#

40 would be about 15 yrs or more of ft experience for most

night magnet
#

Or the tsla ones

nocturne oriole
#

If u can hit sr swe in 5 yrs…idk

#

Very tempting

night magnet
#

Just gotta be continuously interviewing imo

When every day is your day off, nothing feels special anymore.

#

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

dire yarrow
#

What is fire

nocturne oriole
#

U can feel great being a bum

west egret
#

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

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

marble bronze
#

The human life is insanely short, might as well use more of it do so something that truly fulfills you (work or otherwise)

dire yarrow

I'm not gonna retire in 40

I'm gonna keep working till I die

These are also in MCOL keep that in mind

Yea I'm just saying don't compare it to bay area salaries

they're gonna be higher naturally

No. GCA is only for certain positions of theirs. For Algo Dev, there's just a test, no score.

Can companies get back to me after my oas 😦

I’m getting depressed

I’m out of oas

#

And that makes me sad

#

Take first, reneg later

#

Can I get a return offer 😢

peak ferry
#

I'd call it p decent for ng

#

so still no lol

foggy perch
#

if you say big tech standards it's probs on the lower end

#

if you say overall tech standards it's good

peak ferry
#

ya I'd call that high/W lol

foggy perch
#

if you say overall people standards it's very good

#

I feel like you need to differentiate the scale tbh

peak ferry
#

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

foggy perch
#

I'd say average

#

or just a tiny below average

wheat seal
#

150k is not low at all

foggy perch
#

since to me I imagine amazon as the bar for what average big tech salary is at

peak ferry
#

amazon bay is like 210 or smth

foggy perch
#

really

whole berry
#

has anybody worked fully remote and just chilled at a beach side property somewhere warm ?

peak ferry
#

ya it got bumped

foggy perch
#

I see amazon at like 170-180 TC

#

huh

peak ferry
#

it's 180 in seattle iirc

foggy perch
#

are you sure 210k tc isn't return offers?

#

since I'm saying tc for general applicants

peak ferry
#

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

wheat seal
#

150k in seattle stretches more than 200k bay area right?

peak ferry
#

you'd need to do the math, but personally I'd rather stay in the bay at 200

#

180 def stretches further lol

wheat seal
#

in bay area a studio is like 3500-3600

#

plus u have digusting taxes

peak ferry
#

whaa no way, unless u want a very nice one

wheat seal
#

seattle has no income tax

#

bay area has a very high income tax

peak ferry
#

yea ik

wheat seal
#

more than ny

#

lol

#

its brutal

peak ferry
#

it's more than NY but less than if you live in NYC

wheat seal
#

150k tc seattle == 200k bay area id say

peak ferry
#

I'd argue it's closer to like 170 but eh close enough splitting hairs

wheat seal
#

actually 150k tc seattle == 190k bay area

#

150k tc == 190k tc bay area

peak ferry
#

COL calculators are often bad ime if they just apply a flat rate

wheat seal
#

depends on area

peak ferry
#

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

wheat seal
#

bay area is definitely way more expensive than seattle lol

#

id say 40k more expensive is realistc

limber vale
#

Col calculators take into factor that you have dependencies and buying a house

#

Which almost none of us are doing

peak ferry
#

like if u save most of ur money, COL differences don't scale on the nominal dollars saved

limber vale
#

Off the rip

wheat seal
#

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

limber vale
#

Median 2 bed in Seattle 2.7k?

#

🧢

wheat seal
peak ferry
#

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

wheat seal
#

i live in seattle lmao

#

its true

peak ferry
#

flat rates are just not good for COL adjustments

wheat seal
#

luxury apartments u can expect to pay that much

wheat seal
#

imo

peak ferry
#

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

peak ferry
#

"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

wheat seal
#

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

peak ferry
#

bro "average rents" are also SO inaccurate bc they don't account for the average type of housing or location

wheat seal
#

ur not going to find a single in SF for less than 3k unless its the hood

peak ferry
#

if I worked in the bay I wouldn't live in sf firstly

wheat seal
#

same with seattle

#

ur not finding an solo apartment for elss than 2k unless its the hood

limber vale
wheat seal
#

in seattle

limber vale
#

Than sf

wheat seal
#

< 3k studio in SF == hood

#

< 2k studio in seattle == hood

pallid quarry
#

^ true, its only inexpensive in bay area if you live east bay which is lots of crime + like a 1hr+ commute to work

wheat seal
#

like ID and chinatown

#

in seattle

#

is scuffed

#

i dont care if rent is 1400

#

lol

peak ferry
#

other places aren't "inexpensive" but like u can def find apts in decent locations for <3k

wheat seal
#

nooo

peak ferry
#

probably still like >2500 tho

wheat seal
#

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

pallid quarry
#

Even in south bay this summer when I looked at apts most studios were around 3500ish

wheat seal
#

^

#

yea rentcafe is hella accurate

#

$3500

#

basically gave average for studios

peak ferry
#

bro like yea nice lux apts are 3500 but you REALLY don't need to spend that much

wheat seal
peak ferry
pallid quarry
#

houses != studio

wheat seal
#

when did i talk about 3bd

#

lol

#

ofc ur going to have it cheaper there

peak ferry
#

yea and I'm saying 3k is more than enough to get a goddamn studio

wheat seal
#

nah man its the minimum

#

in SF

#

ur not going to find something less than 3k lol

pallid quarry
#

yeah with no ac even have fun in 100+ like that lol

peak ferry
#

I've said not in SF

pallid quarry
#

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

wheat seal
#

there are all expensive asf

#

SF mtn view

peak ferry
#

yea ok that's also where I was looking and there are <3k options in the mtv/sunnyvale/north sj area

wheat seal
#

for 170 sq ft

pallid quarry
#

north sj is unsafe

wheat seal
#

yea for sure

#

150-170 sq ft

#

ull find something for $2700

#

a micro studio

peak ferry
#

bruh idk what to say about "safety" north sj is not the hood lmao

wheat seal
#

i dont know any tech companies in north sj

#

are there?

#

must be the hood

#

because prices will be lower

#

no tech companies there

peak ferry
#

tf? it's literally a fuck ton of office complexes

pallid quarry
#

Ik I felt when taking public transit, the orange line stations there def had homeless ppl around

wheat seal
pallid quarry
#

compared to like sunnyvale/mtn view where you really don't worry about it at all

wheat seal
#

is that what ur talking about?

peak ferry
#

is there another sj city in the bay

wheat seal
#

north sj is weird

#

to say

#

i just say san jose

peak ferry
#

was just trying to type faster

wheat seal
#

yea san jose is silicon valley still

pallid quarry
peak ferry
#

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

wheat seal
#

nah more homeless for me == more unsafe. Just too many druggs

#

drug addicts

#

and u can probably see ppl shooting up in broad daylight

pallid quarry
#

Yeah maybe you feel safe, idk I just feel creeped out and like I'll get robbed anywhere

peak ferry
#

there's a line between homeless and so many homeless people doing shifty shit that I feel unsafe

pallid quarry
#

I dont like homeless druggies shouting in my face everyday lol would rather avoid

peak ferry
#

like the 90% of the city of SF is a no go zone by that definition

wheat seal
#

i couldnt live in SF solely for that reason

#

the drug and homeless situation

pallid quarry
#

same

peak ferry
#

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

wheat seal
#

NY >>>>>>>>>>> Seattle > Bay area

peak ferry
#

I mean I also don't want to live in sf lol

peak ferry
#

bruh have you actually lived in NY? it has less homeless folk but it still has quite a few homeless folk

wheat seal
#

seattle has more

#

i live in seattle

peak ferry
#

yes I literally just said that

wheat seal
#

yea less homeless is best

#

and more stuff to do

peak ferry
#

yea I don't deny that

wheat seal
#

id pick NY anyday

#

over seattle

peak ferry
#

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

wheat seal
#

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

peak ferry
#

haven't lived in NYC personally so can't compare that aspect of it, probably less? but still a thing yo

wheat seal
#

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

#

!!!!!!

serene fable
#

Are there any big cities without a homeless problem? Seems like it's unavoidable in any major tech hub

peak ferry
#

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

wheat seal
#

NY probably the best

#

atlanta might be fine too

serene fable
#

If companies pay a lot, col is probably high, and with high col comes people who can't afford rent

wheat seal
#

atlanta has a good amount of tech companies

#

Salt Lake City has decent tech scene too

peak ferry

idk if atlanta has homeless issue but I'm told it's pretty shifty lol

do companies actually look at shit like your github profile when they resume screen

west egret
# sonic coral I mean do you seriously have nothing you enjoy doing outside work

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.

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.

teal jackal
#

Pass in most cases, but if your interviewer is a douche it's a fail

uncut umbra
#

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

late kestrel
#

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
