[exotic lintel]

my friend Amazon is full remote, but that was because he got the job when Covid happens

[mystic glacier]

just got the bloomberg phone invite 😎

[dire yarrow]

hybrid, and whether you get fully remote is team dependent

[lament summit]

yep my team is also full remote

[foggy perch]

It aight

Worse than amazon and Google tho

[lament summit]

worse than all the other faangs

[exotic lintel]

why are you here 😭

[mystic glacier]

def wanna interview around coz I can't really see myself stay at my current team at amz

[lament summit]

wym

[exotic lintel]

go flexing on Blind app, we are a miserable jobless here 😭

[teal jackal]

cold email for meta worked for me, i emailed the wrong person and she gladly forwarded me to the person for my school

[lament summit]

[teal jackal]

[fallen hornet]

but its super unhealthy

[lament summit]

damn

i remember early on into ur internship u were like

"id do this fulltime"

[fallen hornet]

yeah

[lament summit]

[exotic lintel]

bruh 💀

[fallen hornet]

that was beofre the 2 am phone calls

[lament summit]

wtf

[fallen hornet]

and coming at 6 am and leaving at 10 pm

maybe my team was ass

[foggy perch]

Spacex wlb truly living up to musks reputation

[fallen hornet]

plus i definitely had stockholm syndrome

i literally started my next internship the week after i left

and i was like

why do i feel so relaxed

redmonds def more chill tho than hawthorne

[marble bronze]

He's bringing 996 to the unenlightened masses

[exotic lintel]

low salary
low wlb i think
yea Elon Musk is smart

[lament summit]

how so

im doing redmond btw

@bleak raven is doing hawthorne

[teal jackal]

im addicted to career hustling but i suck at it

its like csgo all over again

i played csgo in middle school like 5 hours a day, and i never got good

[foggy perch]

Only thing I'm addicted to is hard cash

[lament summit]

[fallen hornet]

oh yeah these mfs wanted me to come on the weekend cus i got covid that week so i could work

[teal jackal]

give them covid lmao
"you asked for it bro!"

[fallen hornet]

and i legit said i drove back home im not coming back for a week

[fallen hornet]

LOLOL

yeah maybe my team was just trash

but idk

i feel like all the interns had complaints

the swe's all wanted to dip

[lament summit]

how does hawthorne differ from redmond tho

[fallen hornet]

so if ur team is starship

u literally wanna kill ursel

[lament summit]

starlink

[fallen hornet]

my intern project was starship

if ur starlink

its already a matured product that doesnt have micromanager-in-chief all over it

[lament summit]

yay

[fallen hornet]

so its a little better

since tis more like standard hardware

than a moonshot rocket that struggles to get off the ground

if ur falcon same thing

already mature product

like obv things are changing

but its not like ur still in the alpha/beta levels

[lament summit]

o

okay bet

ill ask more during my onsite

[fallen hornet]

yeee ofc

if theyre paying

pull as much money as u can

[lament summit]

they paying for my lunch too

and 6 lyfts

[fallen hornet]

how many days are u there for?

[lament summit]

and 40$ for food a day

3 days

2nights

[foggy perch]

Do you think you'd rate SpaceX wlb as worse than amazon

[fallen hornet]

i havent worked at amazon

from what ive heard

[foggy perch]

In your mind are you more likely to accept amazon over spacex

[fallen hornet]

i feel like spacex is worse simply cus wfh is less prevalent

[lament summit]

my amazon wlb was 20hrs a week

[foggy perch]

If they paid equal

[lament summit]

just so ya know

[fallen hornet]

uhhhh

so its rly a prioritization question

like what is ur priority

do u wanna work on space stuff

[lament summit]

monies

[fallen hornet]

i frankly wanted to do space

[foggy perch]

You weren't aws tho right

[lament summit]

nop

[fallen hornet]

and adter spacex

i was like fuck no

[lament summit]

just dont join aws

ez

[fallen hornet]

but i feel like amazon wlb is prob better cus its easier to wfh

[teal jackal]

fuck fml

i wish i knew how to get amazon return offer

i wouldnt be as stressed about my life

[lament summit]

cant u interview for amazon again

[fallen hornet]

bro return offers are fucked everywhere

dont stress too much

[teal jackal]

true

what a depressing year

ho ho ho

i am feeling pessimistic

[blissful sonnet]

google visa sponsor info for this year

[foggy perch]

Google really optimizing how to hide their hiring freeze

Not a hiring freeze if the window is open for 3 days and no visas

🧠

[teal jackal]

does someone ik irl mind looking at my resume real quick

"final revision i swear"

[split plaza]

Brex is out

[blissful sonnet]

why life is so hard damn

[smoky lodge]

is it just me or is the job postings on this discord ultra lacking

[teal jackal]

this

[late kestrel]

people would rather not share postings, especially to this discord where there are 50 other no lifers who are better than them

and by people, i mean me

[teal jackal]

tru

[chilly burrow]

It's crowd sourced and ppl wont contribute

I was da only one contributing

But I've been busy

[dense seal]

whered you get that from :/ i dont see it anywhere

[blissful sonnet]

I was about to register for a university google event on handshake

handshake

[smoky lodge]

i agree, i am wayyyyyyyy better than you

[late kestrel]

:(

[teal jackal]

shit

i wish my parents and teachers never told me the concept of being a gifted child

[lilac siren]

WTF

[teal jackal]

if i didnt have an ego about myself since childhood since "youre a gifted child bro youre meant for big things"
id be content

i wouldnt be nonstop unhappy about my achievements

[normal palm]

wait wth LOL

[teal jackal]

amazon robotics

gib job claiming to be real amazon

poser

[coral relic]

Amazon is very team dependent

I think I only really worked a few hours of day

[outer radish]

bruh

[outer radish]

deadass?

[coral relic]

Join me at Amazon Scout 👍

[uncut umbra]

if a company has an open job but it's title is intern conversion, is it any use applying

[outer radish]

yeah if you've got openings i'd appreciate a referral

[normal palm]

yeah facts Amazon is very different

[teal jackal]

salesforce explicitly says "we wont look at anyone who hasnt worked here"

[outer radish]

we had a sev 2 almost every other day

[normal palm]

all my coworkers have told me it's like a startup environment

[young peak]

This does not mean you are ineligible to apply to G if you're a new grad on OPT

[coral relic]

Haha I only have return offer so I don't think I can refer anyone yet

[uncut umbra]

this isn't sales force yet

[outer radish]

ah true

[normal palm]

rip oncall

[coral relic]

Alright bois

[outer radish]

its cool cause i didnt get the return offer 💀

[coral relic]

Going full fuckin force for applications

[young peak]

For all the international folks, you guys don't need sponsorships for your first 3 years

That's what OPT is for

[normal palm]

i mean, congrats i guess lol

[lament summit]

ar > A

[outer radish]

thought it was until I reached doomer hour in this chat

[normal palm]

doomer hour?

[outer radish]

yeah recession talks n all that

[normal palm]

ou yeah

[coral relic]

Chat is in shambles because they didn't get final interviews before september lmao

[young peak]

Recession is rough but it's not as if all doors are closed everywhere

plenty of places still aggressively hiring, probably even more strongly than before

yeah legit there's prob not even close to half the apps open rn

[floral plank]

Anyone knows what is Hudl pay?

[outer radish]

on some real shit what are people outside this chat not grinding LC doing tho

[young peak]

On a lighter note

What do y'all think of the Iphone 14

[uncut umbra]

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-and-dumber-lloyd-theres-a-chance-jim-carrey-gif-11098164

[teal jackal]

The iPhone 14 is one of the phones of all time

[normal palm]

https://tenor.com/view/possibilities-endless-possibilities-sponge-bob-rainbow-gif-12940820

[uncut umbra]

it's the 12th in the main lineup, no such thing as the iphone 2 or the iphone 9

[normal palm]

i swear the iphones are like nba2k games LOL, they're the same every friggin year

[uncut umbra]

apple be dumb

[teal jackal]

Wb 4s 5s 6s

[normal palm]

i still have the iphone 11 and it looks identical to the iphone 13

[teal jackal]

Skipping 2 and 9 works when there's already buffer

I had iPhone x and I broke the oled on it so I got a galaxy s21

[coral relic]

The progression of phone technology feels sooooo slow rn

[late kestrel]

goin out

[coral relic]

[normal palm]

what does going out mean

what is that

[outer radish]

[late kestrel]

id be getting 3 dollar drinks tmrw if it wasnt for 8:30 am bb interview 😠

[outer radish]

lemme pull up

to the interview not drinks

[young peak]

We've reached a bottleneck I think

[young peak]

No worries bud BB is a cakewalk

[late kestrel]

yeah i dont see why not

[young peak]

go kill it

[teal jackal]

mobile tech is yeah

[late kestrel]

[teal jackal]

pretty much at a plateau

you cant ask for more tbh

apple is just making shit up with making new features

[young peak]

Apple is a few years ahead in tech, they're just slowly churning it out via their Iphones but yeah they've hit a deadend

idk what the next breakthrough could even be lmfao

cheaper phones? but they'd never do that lmfao

[floral plank]

Anyone knows what is a good score to move on for seatgeek?

[sonic coral]

AR

Supposedly they’re trying to phase out iPhones in favor of AR glasses

[bleak raven]

IM NOT

I CAN FLY OUT WITH U

do u have a date set yet

mfers from redmond team contacted me

[fallen hornet]

how long does it normally take to get a codility at microsoft

little's dad whos principal director of engineering referred me monday night

so hopefully that referral has some weight

are u considering taking an extra quarter or semester to get 1 more internship?

wait dawg said 2021

bruh

[late kestrel]

gonna be the best day of my life when i leave this server

we gon have it one day

[young peak]

Giving me big Google Glasses energy

[slim marsh]

Goal atm is to get “offer 🎉” from theat bot

That*

[sonic coral]

Lol glasses are drip fym

AR glasses tho are pretty cringe if you wear em outside

[late kestrel]

lol i like the idea of a "threat bot"

[teal jackal]

Me too

God I hope

[late kestrel]

you hit it with a !process xyz reject and it calls you a fucking bitch

[sonic coral]

L take

[slim marsh]

Don’t remind me, it should at least say “ you tried”

[sonic coral]

[late kestrel]

better luck next time, loser!

[slim marsh]

Worse when you have to correct the spelling of the company that rejected you

[sonic coral]

Should’ve worn your glasses bro

Nah in all seriousness tho I do agree some people are unfortunate enough they gotta get the mad big lenses that make your eyes huge

Those people prob look better in contacts

[teal jackal]

Yeah agreed

"You tried" is insulting in a sly way, making it even more painful

[sonic coral]

Loooool we really dissing eye conditions now

[teal jackal]

[sonic coral]

Imagine not having 20/20 vision bro

So cringe

[teal jackal]

Doritos are based

Tough one

Fine if one has to go I'm keeping nacho cheese

F

[livid yew]

Spicy Sweet Chili

[hard flare]

anyone know how long it takes to hear back after palantir recruiter phone (after karat)

[livid yew]

or Spicy Nacho

better than others

also TIL > makes text insert or some shit

test

huh

[loud olive]

Should be like 1-3 business days

[marble bronze]

Greater than is used for quotes

[pearl rose]

What pays the most in sf

[late kestrel]

its dumb tho i dont see that and think quote

[marble bronze]

Maybe a holdover from like IRC days

[livid yew]

Makes sense actually

IRC still exists and is used in some fields

[primal pike]

ppl with 0-2 internships if u could delay your graduation would you

assuming no grad offers

[marble bronze]

No. If I do not get new grad this year, I apply for internships and go for a 1 year MS

For the record, 2 internships, both from this (final) summer, part time and 0 name recognition

[primal pike]

definitely not doing a masters

[marble bronze]

For me, it's mainly a way to get another intern season in. But yeah, delaying has the same effect

[primal pike]

the problem is many companies require u to be in school to do an internship

after grad your options are limited

[marble bronze]

An alternative is to go full on interview prep

[fallen hornet]

facts

ya boi went from a 3 to a 6 when he started wearing contacts

[autumn ridge]

same work or bust I've already been applying to just regular F500 spots

[marble bronze]

Oh nice. Anything beyond OAs so far for you?

Doing a very similar tactic

Yeah, true

I think for our school actual deadline is March(?)

Same thing for GT OMSCS I think, that's another option

[teal jackal]

i always grew up thinking graduating was something to celebrate

tbh it feels more like an execution date to me

[late kestrel]

im ready. i want big boy money

but am also making sure to enjoy college. you (probably) aint comin back

[teal jackal]

"i dont give two fucks,
i guess thats because i only got one cock"

[teal jackal]

im ready if i have a job lined up

until then, its an execution date

[late kestrel]

plenty o time

[teal jackal]

i can guarantee that i wont have a lot of smiles to go around

if i graduate and am still looking for work

i might just skip graduation if im still fucked

[teal jackal]

The people telling me to chill and that I'm fine have not started the process yet

I am at my wits end, and we've just started this shitshow

[formal fable]

Anyone here who's given HRT Codesignal GCA?

[spice kestrel]

Yes I have

[shut fulcrum]

anyone done the HRT algo engineer phone interview? Apparently it is non-coding, but you run through some algorithms and talk about data structures

[marble bronze]

Graduation is a celebration within the context of the end of a now-old chapter to your life.

It just happens to lead into a new chapter in which you're starting from a precarious spot

[rain patio]

👁️ ❤️ 🍦

[marble bronze]

It also doesn't help that it's so much easier to indulge in the now than to realize that 6 months from now if you don't have a job you'll be bleeding money

[rain patio]

is it not?

[peak ferry]

can't get blood from a stone

[lapis cove]

it's too late for him he's gone full doomer

[noble bobcat]

anyone interviewed Akuna data infra last week received offer/rej?

[wary pollen]

Peak6 oa was unnecessarily difficult

[pure mauve]

Hey how long ago did u do the OA? Also is that algo dev swe?

[shut fulcrum]

no that's the algo engineer oa. I did it like ~1 week ago

[whole berry]

damn

i have my final zon scheduled for friday

i dont feel prepped

and i need this bitch ass job

[gray niche]

just raw dog it that's what I did and they still hit me with lfu cache but somehow I passed

[whole berry]

not as smart as you my man

[grave moon]

Just pass the interview bro

It's simple

[dire yarrow]

A little warning from a full timer

Getting a job is not the end

It's just the beginning

Of a lifetime of monotony and cruelty

You are just getting started

You'll have to code for rest of your life

To pay bills

And afford good lifestyle

You'll have to get up everyday to go to work

You can't take break from it like you did in school

1 bad grade didn't matter back then, but 1 bad day is gonna matter now

You won't get summer vacation

It's just the beginning

[dense blaze]

This is true

Although tbh I like that I have money and I can make the most out of my weekends. In college I had to work 24/7 and couldn’t enjoy the weekend

[young peak]

Simultaneously, it's also one of the most freeing experiences too

Nothing happens after you clock out

Your weekends are finally yours

You're both young AND well off

Being good at your job at our level isn't a cakewalk but millions of engineers manage, some even quite successfully

[dire yarrow]

in the last 6 weeks, I've realized that if we put even 20% of what we did in college (esp. balancing multiple courses/leetcode/jobs at the same time) we'll still be successful. But my point is, we'll still need to put genuine efforts. . It's common sense, but I guess it never really crossed my mind.

[dense blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/made-in-heaven-jojo-pucci-stone-ocean-anime-gif-17783703

[young peak]

I get it tbh

its like switching from sprinting to a marathon

[oak shard]

For people who gave the Palantir Karat phone, should I be expecting LC hards or ezes and mediums?

[young peak]

from what dudes said last year it was just difficult meds

[teal jackal]

I haven't gotten a karat yet

Sjii

Honestly tired of this year already

[mystic glacier]

Why is my final score 720....if my coding score is 730

last year my coding score was 644 (when u add all 4 problems) but final score was 724...

[teal jackal]

A problem only counts if you fully solve it

Scores range from 600 to 850

If you only get 1 and 2, 720-730 is about expected

[mystic glacier]

yea but last year i did worse but still got 724 as the final score (problem score was only 644)

[teal jackal]

Coding score doesn't matter much, they only care that you fully solved it

[simple elk]

got gooble rec -> no ng swe postings to apply to

[mystic glacier]

thats weird ... maybe coz i was too slow? it's my first OA of this year so yea

[simple elk]

Do I dm a recruiter?

[mystic glacier]

rusty

[teal jackal]

If you fully solve it, you get like 60 points on it, the base score is 600

Max score is 850

[teal jackal]

Actually good opportunity

[mystic glacier]

oh i see

[teal jackal]

"hey I was wondering where is Google new grad app"

[mystic glacier]

the base score lol

[teal jackal]

Get your resume in while you're at it

[mystic glacier]

This was from last year and I got 724 final score...

[exotic lintel]

how do u do that test ?

[teal jackal]

I am speed

Yeah you need to solve hard problems

Q3 and q4 super important

[mystic glacier]

yea okay..will start LCing next week

after im done with this internship

🤢 demo today

[teal jackal]

Another day of waiting for codesignal cool down to end

[mystic glacier]

i submitted 720 to 3 companies lmao

rejections coming

really hope to get 800+ for once this year

last year my best was 763

[teal jackal]

Same

I wanna get an 830

1200/1200 coding score

[wicked pendant]

google ng was posted earlier and taken down after only like 5 days its ridic

[exotic lintel]

my friend scheduled Google onsite last week

i emailed my recruiter -> nothing

but ppl said Google do onsite now, but dont give offers

[teal jackal]

i heard that google is only replying to people who had recruiter invites

[exotic lintel]

i had recruiter invites 😦 i finished phone

[teal jackal]

i think i need to take a break from thinking about career hustling, the more i want an interview, the more grueling it feels

to not get one

im 26 to 1 rn

26 apps, 1 interview

at C1

[exotic lintel]

i know this dude finished Hiring Committee, but last week he emailed and no Team Matching for him

Google

[teal jackal]

yeah im leaving the chat for a while

ill just check repos for new grad postings

[late kestrel]

gimme emails in my inbox pls 🙂😀😃

[rain patio]

anyone interview with tower research?

[uncut umbra]

are you fckn serious

[latent sun]

Yeah it seems like this is the case

all my friends who applied organically haven't heard back yet

I did bc of recruiter reachout

[uncut umbra]

I applied with referral

how do you have a recruiter reach out

[latent sun]

by applying organically i also want to add they used referrals too

[uncut umbra]

yeah I assumed

[latent sun]

recruiter reachout is either from 1. past internship google reachout (which I had) 2. diversity reachout 3. previous google offer

[uncut umbra]

oh nice

it's nice to know you have no chance

[latent sun]

I also had an offer from them last year but didn't take it. So thats prob why they reached out. I am def certain people will hear back from GHC/Tapia/SHPE conference

[latent sun]

Your app is still in there

theyre just really slow

also didn't someone say that budgets are usually setup by next month? so thats why recruiting is incredibly slow

[uncut umbra]

ok hopefully they don't dick me then lol

I'm fine waiting and shit

[latent sun]

not just for Google but also for other big tech and startups

[latent sun]

I feel like things are going to kick up strong in november/october

as long as we don't get any other catastrophes

[tardy geode]

does the designation of the person referring for amazon matter for amazon referral? i mean if a sdm refers you would one have an edge in getting the OA or somethin faster?

[uncut umbra]

I hope so, rn I have one interview and no offers so I'm kinda banking on companies to open up soon

[latent sun]

Its very demotivating ngl but all you need is just time. And thats nice since that means more time to LC/Mock interview

[uncut umbra]

that's fair

although I do hope that I can grind out a dub in bloomberg in a few weeks

[knotty talon]

How’s everyone getting google oa 😔

[latent sun]

First phone?

[uncut umbra]

yeah

I just realized it was a phone and not the final

[latent sun]

ooh gotchu

gl! when do you have it scheduled

[uncut umbra]

end of september

40 - 60 minute phone call that's also a technical interview and will probs go over my resume

two more rounds after that

end

[late kestrel]

mines in 23 hours

[latent sun]

Anyone know the process for Bloomberg New Grad?

How many rounds/questions etc

My brother in christ, I just got an email to schedule an interview

[thick shell]

Is the only interview date really Oct 4th I'm getting on a call with a recruiter next wednesday

[latent sun]

Wait I went straight to tech interview

no recruiter call

earliest for tech interview was sept 16

[weak latch]

as of now i think this is true, i haven't seen anyone organically advance yet

but i dont think that's gonna be the case for the whole interview season

[thick shell]

Ok bet, maybe it’s based on resume I guess

[thick shell]

Good luck!

[latent sun]

Thank you!

[simple elk]

Does anyone know if listings for "Software Engineer" that aren't New grad specific are worth applying to at G

Rip

Is G opening the NG app back up at any point or nah

[green bronze]

Notion denying me is crazy cuz I know they seen my tweets of me saying their product is just an side grade and overly complex copy of any document app out there 🥱

I would’ve showed them true innovation 🤦🏿‍♂️

[simple elk]

L, when my referral has an expiration date

[sweet torrent]

Anyone knows how to improve your codesignal scores?

[floral plank]

Do more codesignals

Also the practice ones help

[deft crow]

Just applied to a company and within an hour got a notification one of their recruiters was looking at my linkedin 😳

[proper geyser]

does anyone interviewed last week got updates from Amazon? new grrad

[polar moat]

Need advice. Yesterday got email confirmation that my amazon final will be today! But I asked to reschedule and they replied today saying they can reschedule for tomorrow. I accepted that and replied that would be great. I haven't heard back from them yet. idk if it's today or tomorrow. Should I join the meeting today and see if the interviewer appears or should I just skip it?

[lapis cove]

join just in case

[polar moat]

In that case, should I tell the interviewers about the rescheduling?

[hexed moth]

yes

[polar moat]

Cool. Thanks

[west egret]

C1 gave final but earliest date is in November 💀

[mystic glacier]

is it just OA -> final?

[ripe marsh]

Flubbed my netflix OA rip only 729 gca

[west egret]

Yeah codesignal to final

[mystic glacier]

cool

[west egret]

I only got a 710. So it’s basically just a resume screen after codesignal I think.

[mystic glacier]

I never received the Netflix OA

[neat shore]

WTF I got a 930/1200 on codesignal and ended up with a 726

last time I did a codesignal I got 770/1200 and ended with a 739

how tf did I end up with a lower codesignal despite doing significantly better out of 1200

[west egret]

Also getting all test cases counts more than anything else

1 solved > 1/2 solving 2 questions

[neat shore]

This is the breakdown

[blissful sonnet]

Can I reapply to a company with a referral if I applied before on my own but still didn't get rejected and waiting for a response?

[neat shore]

In the second one I got a 726 codesignal but in the first one I got 730 codesignal

[lapis cove]

which questions u do matters

[outer radish]

rise and grind

[buoyant fable]

if i have a 759 codesignal should i retake for seatgeek or send them that score?

[neat shore]

If u solved at least 3 out of 4 send it

If u are confident u can do better redo it

[buoyant fable]

i have 900/1200, first 3 solved

[solemn crag]

Bruh😭Bloomberg reached out for final 2 wks after phone I was like mr/ms recruiter did u just take a pto

[buoyant fable]

yeah i realized this after. i didnt even get to 4 bc i spent 30 minutes on 3

ill just retake it and hope for the best

[neat shore]

I had my bloom phone last week and still haven’t heard back yet. Emailed my recruiter and still ghosted

How much does codesignal matter tho. I heard of people getting 600s getting first rounds and 800s getting rejected

[buoyant fable]

is 4 supposed to be the easiest?

[neat shore]

4 is the second hardest

3 is an LC hard. 4 is LC med on the harder side

[slim agate]

3 is not hard just implementation heavy

[foggy perch]

3 is definitely not a lc hard

[buoyant herald]

cscareerquestions is a joke

What more of a cs career question do they want

Oh uncivil me asking about non-compete periods, my bad I guess I'll cry in the corner

[plush fossil]

should be a non issue

most big tech is in california and non competes aren’t enforceable in ca

[buoyant herald]

Read the last line @plush fossil

[plush fossil]

o lol

hmm

[buoyant herald]

So I researched the cross-state case, courts decide which state's laws to apply

[plush fossil]

yeah interesting, not sure

[neat shore]

Has anyone gotten past the codesignal for Netflix. What score do they generally require

^ for new grad

[pure steeple]

[pastel bane]

or they are just slow.

[exotic lintel]

metoo

[lapis cove]

damn duolingo OA kinda tuff

actually i think i just misinterpreted the constraints of one of the questions and cldve answered it easier oops

@rocky quiver @thorn walrus @neon depot lmk yalls thoughts when u take it so i can see how the competition is doing

and u @river scroll

[river scroll]

How’s the IMC oa ?

[pastel bane]

actually I wonder if they have already made their decisions.
but just want you to wait for one week or more to know.

[vestal pelican]

is it a hackerrank?

[bright tartan]

just saw a linkedin post from an amazon recruiter who got fired cuz they are slowing down hiring

RIP

[exotic lintel]

nnnoooo

[azure zephyr]

is akuna oa automatic?

damn automatic OAs are dumb

[ivory stratus]

good practice at least lol

[outer radish]

bruh we're fucked boys

[lapis cove]

yes

[whole berry]

yeah i got the OA too lol

[azure zephyr]

yeah i applied like last week so wonder why it took so long for an automatic

[lapis cove]

lol wat i did not get akuna oa

[west egret]

I haven't even applied to Zon yet lul

[outer radish]

tbh just aim for AWS positions

[night magnet]

Yeah but ng is all one application

[outer radish]

there was a lot of rumours that consumer products were the ones where the hiring freeze was applied to

oh fuck true

[west egret]

No lie I wanna avoid Zon if possible

[night magnet]

I wish I could say AWS specifically

[night magnet]

SDE2 TC is highest in the industry

[outer radish]

try cold emailing AWS managers that are hiring

thats my plan anywayts

[night magnet]

So if I don’t get SDE1 I’ll just go hard for SDE2

[west egret]

Believe it or not

[outer radish]

yo tbh zon with a good team aint that bad

[west egret]

TC isn’t everything

[foggy perch]

sus

[night magnet]

Yeah just putting that out there

[outer radish]

flagged

[west egret]

No point in $ if you gonna be miserable

[foggy perch]

I'd rather be a wage slave and retire early to live well

[outer radish]

would i be miserable rich or poor

cause i'd take rich any day of the week

[night magnet]

Yessir

[west egret]

Yeah the problem is when I hear that it just sounds like coin flip

[foggy perch]

^

it def is for New Grad

since 2023 university apps are for random teams

[vestal pelican]

anyone else havent heard back from duolingo?

[outer radish]

tbh i feel the play is just grind it out on whatever team u get for a year

then ur booming applying anywhere else

out the new grad gate

[whole berry]

yesterday i did a phone interview at capco, the recruiter asked me what im expecting for pay and i said industry average around 85-90 and i was tryina be open for dialogue he straight up said ahh i see we're offering 70-75

[outer radish]

bruh one of my boys had his promo doc started immediately

[foggy perch]

true i'd rather grind it out somewhere more chill but roughly equal pay tho

[outer radish]

sde 2 in like 8 months or something i swear

💀

[whole berry]

also said how my final round will be with the CEO ?? lol how is ur 1000+ employee company afloat if your CEO is joining in a new grad developers final round interview

[smoky lodge]

It’s afloat because apparently the CEO is carefully monitoring every tiny 75k expense (like you)

[west egret]

@smoky lodge been spreading amazon slow down

Pretty sure he’s behind it

[late kestrel]

nah its been around linkedin

[foggy perch]

finally got amazon interview tomorrow woo praying for LC medium tree problems

[smoky lodge]

That’d be wild

[small mountain]

wonder how many lurkers he's successfully turned away from even applying by saying that so much

[west egret]

You’re being tracked rn /s

[smoky lodge]

Less headcount = better chance for the rest of us

[small mountain]

amen

[foggy perch]

I wonder what the unemployment rate this year for New Grads will be compared to previous years

[ivory stratus]

I mean

[exotic lintel]

wait what

[scarlet sorrel]

has anyone done seatgeek OA

[ivory stratus]

probably a bit higher but just cause big companies aren't hiring, doesn't mean small companies arent

[outer radish]

yo if u do this ur actually gonna be set set once you hit sde 2

[foggy perch]

true

[outer radish]

wait brando do I know u

[weak latch]

I just left a gigantic write up on some random leetcode problem discussion tab 😂

[west egret]

He’s been trolling by saying there was a hiring freeze at Zon for like a week. Then today the Amazon CEO apparently said they’re slowing down hiring. lol

[exotic lintel]

i did not know about him, but i just saw the amazon news too

haizz

[west egret]

speaking of which let me check

I just put in an app yesterday

[small mountain]

i am so stupid i just realized zon means amazon omfg

[shrewd ivy]

zon

[west egret]

I saw a bunch of ppl using that term so I started to

Easier than amzn or amazon

[small mountain]

yeah ive seen it a bunch thought its some startup lmfao

[west egret]

🍌

Wait

why did MSFT transfer me to a listing that says Puerto Rico Schools?

no lol

Is there even a way to check what I put in the application

[ivory stratus]

i would ask a recruiter

[whole berry]

oh boy youre going to puerto rico

[outer radish]

2 bite gang

[median crypt]

Rip I was cut off halfway through an on-site 🙃

[sudden depot]

salesforce, tableu, and slack as of rn dont have plans for new grads for 2023 grads

two recruiters said this at an online university recruiting event

[outer radish]

i applied to slack new grad last night tho

[west egret]

Was that the listing that said for previous SF interns?

[sudden depot]

^^^

[outer radish]

bro i ain even know but i clicked the link tho

[grizzled bronze]

FYI, if they do list a new grad role, they usually have few headcount. Most of their new grad hiring is done from intern conversions.

[outer radish]

[sudden depot]

yea that's what I've heard

[west egret]

Ehh I lose nothing but time if I put in an app

[grizzled bronze]

Unless you are a current or prior Salesforce intern they won't consider you for Slack New Grad. It says that in the listing itself.

[outer radish]

fucKK

my goal is 25 apps a day so i been skipping out on the descriptions lowkey

[west egret]

Someone I know got a referral and he couldn't even apply to Slack NG

[west egret]

Where are you finding these 25 apps lol

[outer radish]

linkedin, indeed, github job board, companies listed on the nasdaq's websites

no shot im making less than 150k when I graduate

[west egret]

So bay area and NYC only?

[autumn ridge]

Is it worth looking on indeed too? I’ve just been using GitHub repo and LinkedIn

[outer radish]

most of the stuff I find on indeed are way less paying but the interviews can be good practice

[outer radish]

pretty much lol, once my 6 month cooldown is done for amazon I'll be reaching out to managers for AWS in washington probably

[exotic lintel]

someone Hire And Develop The Best me please

i am Learn and Be Curious

and I am Frugality

i will do a good job

[west egret]

You have a cooldown despite working there?

[whole berry]

i have not been seeing anyone get zon offers lately

what the fuck is going on

[modern socket]

anybody else get the JPMC superday?

is it just that???

[hasty birch]

What's your timeline been? I just did the OA yesterday

[modern socket]

took the OA on the 20th

tho i also applied after a recruiter reachout so ymmv

[exotic lintel]

my friend got one 3 weeks ago

[simple elk]

https://tenor.com/view/amazin-amazing-beta-peterson-beta-boys-gif-24247191

[prime palm]

I'm at McDonald's rn

Anyone want someone

Something

[modern socket]

fatass

[whole berry]

yeah get me the frycook application

[exotic lintel]

big mac, curly fries, and large pepsi

[prime palm]

😦

[modern socket]

i'm at ur mom's house rn

we are not the same

[prime palm]

Did u get a return at fb

[modern socket]

nah bc i stopped working my second half

[prime palm]

How come

[modern socket]

didn't feel motivated w return offers up in the air

[prime palm]

We're u in nyc?

True I felt that

Me too lowkey

[modern socket]

like interally they were basically saying oh maybe none

and my manager said the same

[prime palm]

LOOOOL

[modern socket]

i got at least MA

[prime palm]

My manager said to start doing Leetcode

KekW

What office loc

[modern socket]

either MA or EE

but clearly not GE

[modern socket]

yeah nyc

sometimes HY sometimes 770

[prime palm]

Holyyyyyyy

I was a Seattle boy

[modern socket]

u get a return offer?

some ppl already got offers

i'm just acting like i've been rejected

but tbh rn i'm on the final round at bloomberg and if i get an offer i won't consider fb

they seem like they're lowkey falling apart

[prime palm]

Fuck no

[hazy ginkgo]

Just got my C1 powerday scheduled for Dec 🤣

[jaunty geyser]

Is C1 codesignal automatic?

And whats a good score to target

[formal fable]

Zon be playing games with my heart

[hazy ginkgo]

I would say mid 700's

[jaunty geyser]

Ok cool

And is it automatic

[hazy ginkgo]

not sure

[formal fable]

Just to be sure, are GCAs company specific? Cause in no way I'd expect C1 to have problems as hard as I saw on HRT GCA

[west egret]

I wanna say so because they supposedly resume screen after code signal

[west egret]

I got 710 and still got final

I think if you have at least 700 you'll be fine

[jaunty geyser]

Okay

Cool

[trim jacinth]

GCA if the normal one is usually the same

[west egret]

Basically be able to solve q1 and q2 at minimum

[trim jacinth]

that's why its called the general

same as in same pool

[jaunty geyser]

Do they usually give the same codesignal problem to all roles

[formal fable]

I gave one for another company in April this year. Was not the same as one for HRT.

[whole berry]

no update even now ?

[west egret]

My final is already in November

[formal fable]

Nada

[trim jacinth]

i feel they're all usually similar

1/2 "easy", 3 very implementation heavy, 4 some hashmap abusal question

[formal fable]

I mean, they can go fro Thursday to Monday offer, but Labor day comes in and suddenly the entire feek is forgone

[whole berry]

how many weeks has it been now

[jaunty geyser]

Okay

I see i havent done any codesignal before

[trim jacinth]

like it's RNG

4 can be easy depending on person

[formal fable]

Yeah, but in my case, there was a distinct hard problem, not solvable without math tricks. No amount of hash maps would solve it without brute force and by the time you arrive to a correct brute force, it's still not good enough. I say this after gauging my difficulty off HRT's Algo dev OA with codesignal (non GCA)

[modern socket]

yup LMAO

fuck them

i should've taken fucking akuna

[trim jacinth]

i think this is still normal with q4 though, i say hashmap abusal because thats what it is a lot of the time

but its a time gated question normally

[formal fable]

There were 2 easy, 1 hard, and 1 otherwise low medium problem, which was exacerbated by the third one due to time

[trim jacinth]

i'm sure HRT is a bit diff for algo dev

but GCA usually follows the same rules unless you get unlucky

[formal fable]

Algo Dev was a separate OA. GCA was for software engineer

I gave 2 HRT codesignals, one GCA and one otherwise

[modern socket]

i have no clue

last year my offers were akuna, amazon, palantir, facebook, and tableau

took facebook and palantir but reneged palantir later

reneged akuna too

idek they told me to apply and they'd give me a fast-track to an offer

[prime palm]

Withdrew from Google and stripe NG?

[whole berry]

who did u talk to that supported your idea to renege akuna

[modern socket]

but then it said their positions were full

i got an email saying nyc was out of spots

LOL

idk

[modern socket]

my gut

hbd

idek man

[whole berry]

i should get kimbo slice to rearrange your guts

[prime palm]

What company

If

[modern socket]

bro look at akuna as a company and tell me it's good

fb was the better option at the time

[prime palm]

If not nyc then where for office

Ew

[whole berry]

even if it was bad you wouldve had your foot in with the HFTs

[modern socket]

there's more to life than money

i'd rather have a life

[peak ferry]

meta for career growth actually pretty sensible before they took a huge dump

[whole berry]

thats v true

[modern socket]

and at this point i'd rather have more time w my gf

[whole berry]

ok i respect it

[peak ferry]

metamates GE earn more lol

[modern socket]

yeah meta was better

but obv not anymore

at this point my goal is just bloomberg

my manager said she couldn't give me my rating lol

which competing offers?

lol what is it without competing?

bc i have nothing rn

bruh i haven't even gotten the damn oa

aw hell yeah

[mystic glacier]

Optiver OA is 72 hours?

😳

[prime palm]

How the fuck did I get rejected from BURGER KING

With 2X FAANG????

😞

[weak latch]

😩

i feel you bro

palantir karat redo in 2 hours 😩

its storming outside so im really praying my ISP doesn't go out again mid interview

[normal palm]

yooo wth

has anyone done samsara's oa?

[prime palm]

Lmfao it's jokes

[runic wind]

Yield protection

[normal palm]

i know, you're mocking me right

cuz i was complaining about being rejected by splunk earlier, but then i realized it was for a 5yoe role

ok i guess not

[lament oracle]

But do you have previous experience in flipping burgers?

[prime palm]

Yes

[lament oracle]

For the kings?

[prime palm]

Yes

[static moth]

samsara has new grad out?

last year samsara was just codesignal

[runic wind]

Rejected
You have to be a king yourself, can't feed other kings

[normal palm]

ah shoot wrong channel again, this is what happens when i apply to both ng and intern roles lool

[static moth]

ohhh

[normal palm]

yee mb

[static moth]

yea samsara was just GCA last year

idk if they changed it up this year

high af codesignal bar i think

[normal palm]

oh right it is a codesignal LOL

rip

[slim agate]

resume screen is after codesignal iirc, got rejected with 847 last year

[normal palm]

wth LOLL

[static moth]

ya their hiring bar in general is kinda insane

[normal palm]

how do you even get higher than 847

[static moth]

847 is probably a score theyre content with. its just the resume screening after that

[normal palm]

ah true true

[slim agate]

yeah, might get in with lower scores and better resume

[static moth]

rng is also a factor too

who knows

[buoyant herald]

Anyone got a Google oa?

[azure zephyr]

What's the consensus on Oracle? Just had a recruiter reach out to me about interviewing with them

[west egret]

Yeah I got a hackerrank

HireVue was trash anyways

[silk cape]

How long does it take to hear back from Palantir karat?

[west egret]

Anyone know the response time on JPMC? Did the OA this Monday.

[weak latch]

jpmc oa is auto yeah

at least it was for the internship this past summer

[lapis cove]

how much does optiver chicago pay for new grad? levels has a lot of range it seems

[crude saffron]

qt or swe

[normal palm]

i remember doing hirevue with Deloitte, aced all technical and I thought i did pretty well on behavioral, got ghosted lol

[weak latch]

i got ghosted by cisco with a perfect oa finished in like 10 minutes 😂

for the 2022 internship

[lapis cove]

swe

[crude saffron]

last year was like 150/125/50 this year is probably 175/125/50 if i had to estimate

[lapis cove]

sheesh

ok maybe i will bother with the OA then

[exotic lintel]

10 minutes ?

wow

[weak latch]

it was 3 questions all LC extra easy

[exotic lintel]

also my friend told me cisco has layoffs

[west egret]

I didn't do my Roblox OA this year

My code signal was unlikely to get me an interview anyways

[weak latch]

im pretty sure one of them was like count the odd numbers in this array 😂

[west egret]

"Find the max number in this array"

If only

[exotic lintel]

max(nums)

[brazen coral]

Is it okay to apply for both remote and seattle position for Microsoft? Or is it safe to apply to just one?

[west egret]

valid anagram:

return Counter(s) == Counter(t)

[weak latch]

yessirrrrrr

[exotic lintel]

this is what i did 😂

[weak latch]

or
return sorted(s) == sorted(t)

in place

[exotic lintel]

does sorted remove duplicates ?

[weak latch]

doesn't matter

[west egret]

nah it sorts the chars

[weak latch]

they'll all be the same anyway

[exotic lintel]

well im asking for another problems

[weak latch]

so if you have ababab and bababa it becomes aaabbb for both

anagrams have the same number of duplicates so if they all get dumped in the same spot by the sort then that's fine

[sinful tendon]

that’s not in place

[weak latch]

?

yeah it is you're just sorting the string

not using extra space

[sinful tendon]

yes it does. sorted returns a new collection

and strings are immutable if you are using python

[weak latch]

ohhh right

i wonder if you can do it in place

i guess that's why string.sort() isn't a thing

[sinful tendon]

nah I think you need space for that one

[lapis cove]

ok actually fuck optiver OA thats too much work for an auto OA lmao

[west egret]

I think I RQ optiver OA last year

[autumn ridge]

When you retake a codesignal does it replace your score regardless if it's better or worse?

[marble bronze]

Yes

As far as I know*

[autumn ridge]

Damn should I redo my 763 my brain is pretty smooth. At least I know to focus on Q4 now though so I'm prolly going to do it

[azure zephyr]

gonna bump this again 👀

it was via untapped so ig untapped is worth

lol obv

i just meant does anyone know anything about wlb/culture etc? like would it be worth taking it over my offer at amazon

[floral plank]

Depends on the company

But for most yea

[wind drum]

i have never met a happy oracle employee

it is comparable to amazon but prob more chill

[lapis cove]

i heard good things from a friend who interned at oracle

[azure zephyr]

hopefully the oracle interview isnt too hard

seems like its a big FAANG feeder

[smoky lodge]

Dogee

[jolly estuary]

netflix

[azure zephyr]

😨

[frank wedge]

Last year was just mediums and system design

[simple elk]

prolly not

[winter thistle]

duolingo yield protection

change my mind

[azure zephyr]

looks like i can't avoid system design forever

[split plaza]

What’s Palantir new grad TC

Mostly curious about recurring

[lapis cove]

lol duolingo pays more than fangs and its in a LCOL area

[lapis cove]

this cap

[azure zephyr]

i thought duolingo area was MCOL

[lapis cove]

oh maybe tbh

dont know shit about pittsburgh

[sinful tendon]

heard from a salesforce recruiter that they’re posting a lot of apps tomorrow. not sure if engineering is included tho

[lapis cove]

i just know that the difference on COL calculators with sf is very high but obv that includes housing too

[waxen bolt]

Anyone know when netflix will get back after first round of OA?

[outer radish]

are you guys running into system design in your interviews?

not tryna get blindsided

[blazing crystal]

You got the OA?

[split plaza]

a lot of people did (myself not included )

[wind drum]

nah pittsburgh is def lcol

my rent was 750 a month this summer there and that was the most expensive out of my friends

[west egret]

I paid double that on rent in the Bay and I wasn’t even in SF

[peak ferry]

damn bro and I thought MCOL was nuts, 750 sheesh

[wind drum]

yeah everything is hella cheap there which is nice but the food is meh and there's really not much to do

tradeoffs ig

[peak ferry]

ic fair enuff

[azure zephyr]

bay area rent is scary

[kind galleon]

that sounds like such a good strat for a startup honestly

[waxen bolt]

I got it like a week ago

[proud sapphire]

Hey guys, I hope you are doing well. Anyone did Morgan Stanley Hirevue? What questions do they typically ask?

[kind galleon]

move to LCOL area, and then pay faang salary

[weak latch]

okay 5 more minutes PRAYING my internet doesn't fuck itself again

manifesting easy questions

[peak ferry]

local talent no where to be found

hk a reason why tech hubs exist

[smoky lodge]

okay 5 more minutes PRAYING your internet fucks itself again

manifesting higher head count

[kind galleon]

hk?

[peak ferry]

high key

mm true maybe not zero talent but still harder to find
