[calm shale]

[livid yoke]

Mailed the recruiter, they rescheduled it

Like 2 days later

[neat shore]

Regarding BB my recruiter ghosted me for 2 weeks straight after I did my phone interview. I emailed her twice but no response. What do I do to get feedback

[shrewd ocean]

my email says i have a video interview actually

[outer radish]

[calm shale]

[outer radish]

[outer radish]

[hexed moth]

[calm shale]

[outer radish]

AY SOMEONE GOTTA DO IT MY MAN

[hexed moth]

THINK OF HOW MANY CHILDREN WERE EXPLOITED TO MAKE THAT

[outer radish]

💀

aii we talking discord bots tho

or we talking drones

cause i can do one but not the other

[hexed moth]

i hated the animal population one

that was so bad

[outer radish]

is that what the 2 games before the "technical" thing are?

[calm shale]

bro cant believe videos like https://youtu.be/vTMF6xEiAaY exist, yet roblox is still just continuing doing their thing

[whole berry]

do you guys know about that one website which created sample cover letters for tech new grads

[calm shale]

what's ur LC strat

[whole berry]

im tryina cop a random cover letter

[outer radish]

was just boutta ask this

mfw i've never done a codesignal 💩

[hexed moth]

i think people just dont care, i dont actually care its just fun to bring it up

[long badger]

palantir is trolling they rejected me after hr call

[peak ferry]

I grinded for a month and a half, stopped grinding, have surprise interviews and I’m back on the grind 💀

[calm shale]

do u do it by sections like they suggested, like grind out a pattern then move on to the next. Or kinda take do all of them at once

[outer radish]

do you do like each section of grokking + the associted leetcode questions?

cause im not sure whether to just go through all the sections then LC

yeah isnt there like a strat or some shit where completing three and the 4th one will get u a higher score or somethin

yeah but the grokking test cases dont cover edge cases unlike LC does so u gotta slide LC in there somewhere

ah naw im talking bout grokking rn

[lapis cove]

yea but u can always just check their code and see if ur missing anything

[calm shale]

30 mins past, aight my interviewer ghosted me

[lapis cove]

lmao rip

[whole berry]

L

stay in there

because if and when they do arrive

you can leverage that you been waiting a long time for them

[cerulean nebula]

is blackrock/akuna still giving out interviews, anyone? Heard they have already filled up the reqs, not sure though

[whole berry]

and this way PERHAPS they go easy on you and move you to the next round

[latent sun]

bro i was so awkward with me verkada recruiter call

i got matched with a. team tho

and have technical call

[wicked pendant]

my bb interviewer also never called, apparently they called out sick and couldnt find a replacement

id just email recruiter

[rustic vessel]

What team

[latent sun]

access controls

security locks

[calm shale]

bro ive see so much

when i saw this i was like who tf is this

[late kestrel]

whyd u lump those two together

i havent seen blackrock get back to many ppl past OA

as far as ive seen

[floral plank]

BlackRock takes forever to reach out

It took fives months for blackrock to reach out to me after oa

[lofty tangle]

My bb recruiter is ghosting, even though i emailed that interviewer didn’t show up😢

[wicked pendant]

damn wtf

mine was rlly responsive

[tardy geode]

Hey @prime palm can you check dm

[prime palm]

yoo

i'm using discord in the METAVERSE

[lapis cove]

big

hows it going

lfg

just stay relaxed u got this shit

[serene fable]

How did you do on the oas?

[azure zephyr]

why is bb ghosting everyone rn

[indigo raft]

I got asked the easiest question known to man on Bloomberg and absolutely choked please kill me

live laugh love 😂😂😂😂

[gray niche]

idk if they're ghosting just very slow, it took me 16 days to get my final I thought I was ghosted lol

I haven't played roblox in like 8 years if they ask me what my fav roblox game is that's going to be a very short conversation

[hexed moth]

say u love obbys

better start

[gray niche]

lmaoo

"So why roblox"
"I don't want to be embarrassed when blind asks me TC or GTFO"

[foggy perch]

pog

send insider info on how to git gud for roblox final interview pwz

it's over if roblox asks me what my roblox fav game is lma

o

never played roblox

only played minecraft

[hollow timber]

What's palantirs karat interview like

[manic spear]

3 lc meds

you’ll most likely pass if you get through 2

[hollow timber]

3 questions in 60 minutes sheesh

[indigo raft]

no it’s embarrassing LMAO 😭 but it was an LC easy, I just overcomplicated it cause I thought it was too easy

[small mountain]

[lapis cove]

they wont unless u maybe bring up that u play

[foggy perch]

few

thank god

[foggy perch]

think they'd take it as a compliment if I mentioned being impressed how roblox is still around when I vaguely remember seeing it as a kid

like "wow the longevity of roblox is crazy"

[lapis cove]

yea thats prob fine to say

[foggy perch]

nice

i'm optimizing prepping for roblox interview

I want the bag so much

[lament summit]

big yikes

[shrewd ocean]

[calm shale]

fizzbuzz

[tender sluice]

Anyone here have a Figma onsite yet

[knotty talon]

damn

pain

ill just assume rejected for now

[indigo raft]

Nop standard lc

[shell fern]

Like reverse string level easy?

[lament summit]

Lowkey at that point I think it’s a matter of location

[tardy geode]

bruh

[lament summit]

If u like nyc go Pltr

[foggy perch]

Money diff tho

[tardy geode]

praying for wet inboxes this week

[foggy perch]

Roblox pays sig more than palantir

Plus lower rent

In San Mateo than nyc

Good parts of nyc at least

[lament summit]

Isn’t San Mateo Bay Area

[tardy geode]

nu

its like south of sf

[foggy perch]

Ye

[tardy geode]

oh wait

my bad

[foggy perch]

Bag area rent is still cheaper than nyc though

I'm pretty sure

[tardy geode]

bro my buddy pays 1200 a month including utilities in Mountain View , sick home too

[foggy perch]

Assuming we're comparing the good parts of sf vs good parts of nyc

Yeah that's pog

[tardy geode]

he has got like the best deal in bay area ig

[foggy perch]

I'm assuming roommates tho

Or no

[tardy geode]

yeah 2 flatmates

[foggy perch]

Rip

[tardy geode]

but still its cheap for mountain view

i feel

[foggy perch]

Maybe

I'm just super anti roommate

[tardy geode]

he has his own room

so its fine

man i hate DP so much 😭

[prime palm]

kind of curious what it was

[gilded dust]

Rip me

[prime palm]

mmm. i don't know

pltr is nyc while roblox is san mateo

i want to be in nyc as a new grad so i'd take pltr over that alone

on the other hand, the roblox $$$ is insane

[indigo raft]

y’all it was prob like top 10 lc easy, u guys will be fine. I just wanna forget about it 🥲

[prime palm]

so it's up to what you value more

[prime palm]

oof sorry, yeah didn't mean to bring it up

must sting

but dw chin up

you'll get it next time

😄

[knotty talon]

on one hand, palantir is evil and roblox is not

but nyc >>

imo

[prime palm]

bro palantir missile strikes children

[gilded dust]

What’s the deal w nyc

[prime palm]

but....nyc

👀

LMFAO

csmajors b like

[static moth]

read into roblox benefiting from children

exploitation

[gilded dust]

Why is nyc good

[static moth]

https://www.theguardian.com/games/2022/jan/09/the-trouble-with-roblox-the-video-game-empire-built-on-child-labour

[prime palm]

it's a largely personal preference thing

[foggy perch]

Psh money > morals obviously

[gilded dust]

Nyc is horrible it smells like hot gorbage

[foggy perch]

Roblox pays more tho

So roblox >>>>

[knotty talon]

i suspected there coud be something like that but like palantir is palantir lol

[lament summit]

Roblox is pretty evil

[prime palm]

you have the rest of your life to make money

[lament summit]

both companies are evil

[prime palm]

i'd rather be in a more fun city than san mateo

[static moth]

true

[calm shale]

bro wtf

[foggy perch]

Meh that's like saying you have the rest of your life to live your life

[gilded vortex]

what is this for

[lament summit]

What is this

[prime palm]

company?

[prime palm]

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[calm shale]

better pic

[bleak relic]

But cost of living in nyc is p high

[calm shale]

amazon

[prime palm]

LMFAO AMAZON?

[lament summit]

Damn

[prime palm]

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU RUN OUT OF INTERVIEWERS

[lament summit]

L

[foggy perch]

Ffffff

Amazon moment

[static moth]

WAIT

[knotty talon]

yeah but youre going to be making like 220k or something at palantir

[static moth]

i thought that was bloomberg

[calm shale]

bro ima kms

[knotty talon]

if thats not enough for someone then idk what to say

[floral plank]

They pip everyone

[knotty talon]

and people want nyc because the cultural offering, cuisine, nightlife, also personally in cities like seattle and the bay area you'll mostly meet tech people which is kinda lame

its nice to have diversity in the people you meet

[wind drum]

yeah i want to avoid the tech bro hell of the west coast

[prime palm]

mmm yeah

dude in seattle / cali

i swear

everyone was just in tech

it was kind of icky

hacker houses and crypto and web3

fuck alla dat

ok bias sampling for sure bc in seattle i lived in SLU

[knotty talon]

yeah after having gone to an engineering school im a little tired of stem people. kinda self-hating but what can i say

[prime palm]

which amazon basically owns that entire region

[foggy perch]

40k salary diff b/w Roblox and Palantir w/ lower CoL in bay area than nyc pretty relevant tho

imo

[knotty talon]

roblox pays that much? goddamn

[foggy perch]

also I think Roblox has more growth opportunities due to it being relatively in its infancy

[knotty talon]

how much do they pay 😭

[foggy perch]

Roblox y1 approx 250k-260k

y2 is less but it's > 200k at least

[prime palm]

not true

friend who got a return offer says its 226

[foggy perch]

really? Ik a few people who got more than 250k Y1

[wind drum]

palantir isnt as far off in pay as ppl think

[foggy perch]

for new grad offer

[prime palm]

maybe if you were the highest rated maybe

[knotty talon]

yea that sounds more realistic, and palantir is almost there essentially

[foggy perch]

maybe he averaged y1 and y2 pay together?

or didn't include sign on bonus

[prime palm]

let me read my dms with him 1s

[knotty talon]

if there's a 40k difference id definitely take roblox in san mateo but honstly it'd be a painful decision lol

[foggy perch]

meh

[nova reef]

y1 could be over 250k if you include relo

[prime palm]

@foggy perch alright you got my ass

lol

262k first year

[foggy perch]

ez memory

[prime palm]

225 recurring

[foggy perch]

I memorize all money info

[knotty talon]

goddamn

[prime palm]

@foggy perch memorize deez

[foggy perch]

doge said Roblox refreshers are good though

so idk

maybe y2 is more

[prime palm]

roblox refreshers is enough to make more than y1

yeah

performance, bonuses, it's insane

[knotty talon]

personally i wouldnt take palantir just because theyre like giga evil

[prime palm]

idk how they're a money printer

[knotty talon]

ik roblox also evil but not giga evil

[foggy perch]

roblox is super money positive rn I believe

[prime palm]

facebook vs pltr?

[foggy perch]

esp with all the kids who play it

[peak ferry]

225 recurring is actually p wild in of itself -- goddamn robux is flush

[foggy perch]

I did a bit of reading about roblux

and it seems to be doing very well profitability wise

[knotty talon]

abandon tech return to monke

[prime palm]

realistically, it's not 225 recurring

[peak ferry]

225 lol

[leaden aspen]

palantir new grad about 208k recurring in all locations, including M-LCOL like DC and denver

[prime palm]

it's 225 base but you have a lot of performance + bonus

[leaden aspen]

so yeah id agree

[foggy perch]

downside is having to live in DC or denver tho 🤮

[leaden aspen]

I'm local to NOVA so I took DC lol

NOVA hella nice tbh

I've been everywhere and haven't found anywhere I like mroe

[foggy perch]

rip

[peak ferry]

uh I'm sure it's not 225 base, for sure includes RSU vest and maybe a target bonus. ofc refreshers and maybe more bonus

[foggy perch]

nah I visited dc a few times

and it's way too hot there

[prime palm]

no no no i meant like

as a baseline, your y2 is 225

[leaden aspen]

valid

[prime palm]

but with performance and refreshers and other stuff

it's more than your y1 262

[foggy perch]

literally a core memory of mine is visiting dc as a kid

and almost getting heatstroke

[shrewd ocean]

dc not hot compared to texas bruh

[foggy perch]

texas pretty low bar tho

[peak ferry]

ye ik, I'm just saying lots of companies include a target bonus, so it's entirely possible you don't get even more bonus. ofc also performance refreshers and jazz, idk robux's exact comp structure

[shrewd ocean]

when i went in the summer it was low 90s high 80s

not bad

[tardy geode]

what was the question , i am curious ?

[azure zephyr]

dc is def HCOL of living not mcol

i lived there for the first 12 yrs of my life and its expensive tbh

[leaden aspen]

palantir DC office is in georgetown, where you can live either south in arlington or north and it is definitely cheaper than HCOL areas

other aspect of HCOL is tax, where virginia state tax is less than HCOL areas

NOVA isn't cheap for sure but it beats bay area and NY by a lot

[peak ferry]

ya COL relative maybe we should call bay and NYC VHCOL lol basically nowhere else is as bad

[azure zephyr]

^^ yea its def not as expensive as nyc & bay area but dont want anybody to get into the mindset that DC is cheap, bc it isn't. arlington is expensive as well

i would classify DC is upper MCOL/HCOL

[bleak relic]

What do you all do after giving an interview...do you just continue on prep for next thing?

[hasty birch]

Yup

[bleak relic]

Damn haha

I feel like I get too distracted after giving an interview unless I have something else scheduled

[bleak relic]

Wouldn't you rather prefer to live in a place you can save up? Idk for the future or smth

[craggy radish]

Very simple, rich people don't want their property value to go down, and people want to view real estate as an "investment", so they lobby to restrict supply.

[grand barn]

whats mtl? it means montreal where i am from lol

[azure zephyr]

@cedar nebula have you gotten ur official amzn offer yet?

[grand barn]

i am from montreal! so random lol

[azure zephyr]

nice!! so the grind is over for you?

[grand barn]

nope. no name.

[azure zephyr]

also im not familiar with the canada offers, what was it if you dont mind me asking?

[grand barn]

disagree

hard disagree

i hate it

and?

how does that help me

like pratically how?

[serene fable]

Lol Amazon sent me a survey to rate the interview before giving me a response

[grand barn]

seriously

[ripe marsh]

How’s amazon oa

[grand barn]

IVADO

same thing

it was the most soul crushing work i ever did in my life

ur paird 15$ an hour rigth

20$ at most

or i eat my shoe

u work 15 hour in a week

cmon now

ur paid for 15 hours

but u gotta work 20 +

to give results

i am sure thats only for phd

i am glad it was good for u but honestly my experience

was shiiiiiit

let me describe it

with a prof from ur uni

yep yep

[potent dew]

Someone said Palantir is filling up, just scheduled recruiter call for early next week, could I be screwed?

[coral finch]

No harm if you set and a schedule

Like if it is you still interviewing and have a chance

Is Amazon freeze?

[potent dew]

Yea lol I was surprised seeing that here cause im pretty sure PLTR is trying to jack up hc

[lapis cove]

lmao i just went mildly braindead on scale ai phone

[late kestrel]

how long is bb final? i thought it was multiple hours long but was just sent an email after my phone for another 1h interview

[lapis cove]

leaning 99% towards taking roblox offer tho so nbd but was silly

[fresh lagoon]

I would for sure take roblox as well

[pure mauve]

hes trolling

[lapis cove]

yea nyc >> sf >>>> san mateo for sure

but only offer i have rn with nyc office isnt competitive with roblox at all

apparently some roblox ppl live in south sf and commute to san mateo

cld be a move

[prime palm]

who's the nyc offer

just curious

honestly i'd take a subpar offer just to be in nyc over a better one elsewhere

[lapis cove]

yea ik but is closer to get to actual interesting stuff

id go harder looking for nyc offer if i was single lmao

[lapis cove]

gem

[late kestrel]

@modern socket @compact sundial @jagged ravine how long was yalls final for bb?

[prime palm]

AYO

those fucks never got back to me after the codesignal

bro i gave them an 821 wtf

[coral finch]

What does this mean?

[lapis cove]

if i was single, id prioritize location more cuz san mateo wld be atrocious for dating

but im not so ill just acquire bag instead

[coral finch]

What’s single?

[lapis cove]

not dating someone

[frank wedge]

Or something

[coral finch]

Something??

Shit man

[dusty halo]

How is the blackrock OA / Hirevue?

[lapis cove]

they v small so prob filtering pretty heavily

[mystic cave]

Has anyone else received an email from a microsoft recruiter to apply for intern/new-grad roles if you've applied previously? Wondering if this is just a generic thing they send everyone

[dusty halo]

Ok. Thanks!

[prime palm]

what's on your resume

if u don't mind me askin

cuz gem recruiter reached out to me twice from greylock

and i have 2x faang + submitted an 821 on codesignal

a little offended she's ghosting me no cap

😤

[sweet urchin]

Not all faangs weighted the same

[prime palm]

that's true

[sweet urchin]

Specifically amazon

[prime palm]

damn, alright.

[foggy perch]

huh is your gf moving with you to san mateo?

or are you just doing long distance

[quick wraith]

Don’t disparage Amazon

Jeff sama please send an OA

I hate code signal

Love hacker rank

[floral plank]

Anyone knows what is Expedia oa?

Is it a hirevue?

[shrewd ocean]

hackerrank pretty sure

[floral plank]

It says strength based assessment

And it takes 45 mins

[shrewd ocean]

u got pic?

[crystal delta]

how much does expedia pay new grad?

[floral plank]

Look on levels

Seems to be from 110k to 140k

[crystal delta]

there’s no way that’s updated right

[shrewd ocean]

first yr 150

recurring 140

[crystal delta]

is it same for return intern?

[shrewd ocean]

think so

[small mountain]

@floral plank does it specify

strength based normally just means behavioural

i think.

[floral plank]

Doesn’t really say anything

[low scroll]

what type of questions can I expect on gca?

[bleak raven]

after a week at datadog i can conclude this company sux

not my fav ipocorn

[grizzled bronze]

How come?

[bronze nymph]

why

[bleak raven]

it’s too much fun

can’t focus on my work

always events

taking microsoft over it 100%

[latent sun]

lmao what

too much fun

[bleak raven]

yes

[bleak raven]

there’s no clear line between fun and work

work culture is tied into everything

not a fan

[tardy geode]

praying for wet inboxes this week with amazon OA link in it

[sonic coral]

I mean can’t you just not attend all the non work events

[unique cargo]

Anyone get a new grad offer at Amazon or Netflix? Trying to see what their compensation is like compared to Expedia

[bleak raven]

then ur not a part of the company crowd

drift away from the team

[sonic coral]

Ohh so basically a majority of the company goes to the events

[bleak raven]

yup

[sonic coral]

optional

[bleak raven]

yup

[sonic coral]

But not really

[bleak raven]

not when it’s by the company

company fun is not good fun in my eyes

personal fun is best fun

[sonic coral]

What kinda events are there

[bleak raven]

[sonic coral]

Most companies have happy hours

Usually team happy hours

[dusky plover]

[lament summit]

It’s a ipocorn

@bleak raven

[bleak raven]

ipocorn

[bronze nymph]

it's not a definitive comparison

[lament summit]

gotcha

[bronze nymph]

i think it comes down to team and preferences tbh

[bleak raven]

everyone say ipocorn plz i want it to catch on <3

[lament summit]

Lowkey u can say that about everything

[static moth]

ipocorn

[lament summit]

u can be chillin at amazon

and get paid well

I worked 20hrs when I was at zon lol

[bronze nymph]

yea you can about stuff on the same playing field, but not like lockheed martin and datadog for example, it would be a largely futile comparison

[bleak raven]

yea …

[frank wedge]

Any of you goats get an offer lmk the deets wtf

[bleak raven]

i like my project tho

[lament summit]

I wouldn’t even put Lockheed there LOL

lowkey that’s a pretty easy decision for 95%

why on earth would u choose Lockheed over ddog

[frank wedge]

@pulsar mural

[static moth]

planes go brrrrrrr

[frank wedge]

@pulsar mural

[static moth]

dogs dont go brrrr as fast enuf

[bleak raven]

DUDE FUNNT STORY

for why space x i wrote “rockets go brrrr”

[grizzled bronze]

To help protect our country, like @pulsar mural 🫡

[bleak raven]

and the recruiter pointed it out during our behavioral call 💀💀

[static moth]

LOOL

[bleak raven]

and said she liked the answer

and that’s why i moved on

[small mountain]

aint no way

[bleak raven]

I STG

i was really embarrassed in that moment

i submitted spacex app for fun

but now i have second to last round tomorrow

[small mountain]

[lament summit]

Don’t do it

just cancel it

[bleak raven]

i’ll cancel once i land in seattle for on-site

[lament summit]

They put this on me

[grizzled bronze]

Well they definitely don't have fun events there, but it's a lot more hours if you like that

[lament summit]

When I was interviewing

Walking red flag

[bleak raven]

did u meet elon

is he the one that rejected u

[lament summit]

nah

[bleak raven]

rip

[lament summit]

I wish

Id be okay if Elon was there to reject me

[bleak raven]

oh something i do like about ddog is how napping is promoted

i told my manager i took a nap on friday and he was chill

[grizzled bronze]

They have a nap pod or something to do that, or do you go to your apartment and nap

[grizzled bronze]

Return offer canceled

[bleak raven]

there’s these little eggs

[lament summit]

What questions should I expect on akuna phone

[bleak raven]

nap eggs

very fun

[grizzled bronze]

A bit too fun, that's bad. You need SpaceX to balance out all that fun.

[sonic coral]

Ddog seems like a mini google ngl lol

[bleak raven]

ok napping on company time is personal fun

[bleak raven]

basicalllyy

i would say that

the company has a lot of success in the future i can see it

solving some pretty big problems

[serene fable]

Any other companies like that?

[bleak raven]

constantly innovating from what i can see

[serene fable]

With a reputation for being fun

[bleak raven]

[lament summit]

[bleak raven]

hubspot

[lament summit]

Riot

Unity

[serene fable]

Lol

[lament summit]

Unity is cool

[sonic coral]

hubspot seems less fun and more culty ngl

[bleak raven]

honestly what ddog is 💀

[sonic coral]

palantir nyc seems pretty lit from what @frigid ember was saying

[lament summit]

[grizzled bronze]

I don't think any company can beat it, they have a cute dog in their logo

[lament summit]

For phone?

[bleak raven]

ddog bit less cultish more funish

but it’s a tight border

[lament summit]

I thought it was just Python trivia

at least that’s what my recruiter told me

[bleak raven]

i added to datadog slack hehe

[lament summit]

o

[bleak raven]

[sonic coral]

i miss slack

gchat aint it

[bleak raven]

ope have onsite with them on the 23rd 👨🏻‍🦯

😭

[lament summit]

why u need to cancel

[bleak raven]

fun = bad

[uncut umbra]

does anyone know if there's an amazon robotics new grad position open

[lament summit]

Xd

[bleak raven]

west coast and fun hater

changing my name

[sonic coral]

well like from what he said people throw parties in the office lol, but it doesnt seem like forced on you

[lament summit]

Probsbly

Might be already closed

Tho

they started super early

[serene fable]

How much does Palantir value the short answer questions in the application?

[lament summit]

Barely at all

More about Ur resume

[uncut umbra]

I just talked to them at my career fair today, so hopefully they'll consider me even if it's closed

🤞

[lament summit]

gl

[uncut umbra]

bless

[lament summit]

ar is p cool

depending on what u work on

choose perception if u can

[frigid ember]

it is

[sonic coral]

how would it be for someone like @bleak raven who hates fun

[bleak raven]

fun bad

[frigid ember]

a lot actually lol

they have employees review short answer questions

we volunteer to do it

[bleak raven]

i wrote bs for those how did i get past

[serene fable]

Not sure if sarcastic or not

[frigid ember]

at least for path program

[bleak raven]

i talked about building a tire swing in my backyard and how it relates to life goals

[frigid ember]

not sure about other apps

[frigid ember]

if he hates fun he can go to the palo alto office

[smoky lodge]

The guy at my career fair said hiring is done.

[frigid ember]

why would they go to a career fair if they aren’t hiring 🤦‍♂️

[urban gulch]

Which company?

[smoky lodge]

all of them

2023 new grad hiring is over. The economy is done.

[urban gulch]

💀

[uncut umbra]

if I met a company at a career fair today, and I also could get a referral, should I apply with the career fair carrying me or should I apply with the referral

company is appian

idt both is an option unless you have an option to select it in the app

[dire yarrow]

Are you in pltr NYC?

[grizzled bronze]

If the career fair is giving you a unique job link that's different than normal job apps then I would probably use that

[uncut umbra]

yeah that's what I was thinking

[bleak raven]

i hate west coast

i think i just need to live in a high rise in nyc working remote and i’ll be happy 😇

[frigid ember]

yes

[frigid ember]

then go to DC

[foggy perch]

I sure do love inhaling toxic city air

[dire yarrow]

[wicked pendant]

i asked this a lot and they usually just told me to apply anyways since itll pair me up to the fair database and someone will get back to me or some shit

[elder hound]

I hate 2d arr problems

That is all

[bleak raven]

i want to be in nyc

[wicked pendant]

some of em just had like generic links tho like they just told me to fill out some form to get an email with their regular app link and those i didnt bother with

[uncut umbra]

that happened for me with cap1 and gm but I already had a referral, I think what they were willing to do in my case is give me more info on my app and then they might retroactively move it through the process quickly

also my career fair today was appointment based and all the recruiters really liked my resume lmao

[frigid ember]

then come to nyc brother

[bleak raven]

im already here

but no company fun plz

i just wanna help ice with my code on my 9 to 5 and walk back to my apartment

[frigid ember]

ok u have fun with that

[bleak raven]

i just like walking around nyc

look how pretty

[frigid ember]

i know where you are lol

i saw a rap battle going down once at the top of that road

fun times

[uncut umbra]

I'd bring like at least 20 copies depending on how long it is and how many companies there are, and I'd have at least one good question for each recruiter. mine was online (can't make the in person one cause of classes) so we L

[pearl rose]

i dont think youd get piped first year

[sonic coral]

i did and got mad lucky

[latent sun]

and when did you do final round

[azure zephyr]

[dusky plover]

poggggchamp

[azure zephyr]

did oa aug 10, interviewed maybe like a week later, got offer two (!!!) weeks after that

[jaunty basalt]

two weeks?

[latent sun]

damnnnn

[azure zephyr]

i literally dont know what happened, i was convinced i was going to get rejected bc it took so long

[jaunty basalt]

swear mad ppl heard back within a week

and even sooner if they failed

[latent sun]

how’d you do on the OA

and was it 2x60

[azure zephyr]

i did just okay on the OA bc i got 2x60

[latent sun]

ooh

i got 2/2 for technical

but i’m guessing

the 2nd is very weighted?

[azure zephyr]

good enough tho and im not complaining lol we made it into FAANG boys

yeah ive read everywhere that OA2 is weighted very heavily

are you in the interview pipeline still?

[latent sun]

waiting on OA2

[azure zephyr]

when did you do OA1?

[latent sun]

just 1 hour

ago

[azure zephyr]

i got OA2 the next day

[latent sun]

ooh okok

[azure zephyr]

but theyre very backed up rn it seems

[latent sun]

oh fuck

okay

hopefully

i hear back soon

[azure zephyr]

ya with a 2/2 you will 100% be hearing back from them

[latent sun]

i wonder how much weight resume plays

[azure zephyr]

OA is after resume screen i thought?

[latent sun]

ah yeah

but like throughout

kindof like how google

takes a holistic view

[azure zephyr]

yeah dont think amazon is like that

pretty sure its just passing each step

im rly hoping to get microsoft oa tho

[jaunty basalt]

i wouldnt think too much about amazon process after u make it past each one

its pointless

not like ur gonna pull out

[serene fable]

I'm still panicking after my 1x30, it's been over a week

[jaunty basalt]

why is there such a delay

[serene fable]

I'm going to email them if I don't get a response by Friday

I'd almost prefer a rejection at this point

Though if people are getting offers after 2 weeks, maybe I'm not in a bad spot

[dusky plover]

@jaunty basalt do u use jakes resume

[jaunty basalt]

yes

how do you not know this

[dusky plover]
