[tardy geode]

💢

i am thinking of making a new acc and starting a fresh app

smh

[unique cargo]

Can anyone who has taken the Amazon OA attest to the accuracy of the most frequent Amazon questions list provided by the bot in here?

[gilded breach]

Same tho. For canada, applied on 8/13. Like just fking reject, if you’re gonna reject and get on with it.

[dense seal]

wym both portals? theres 2?

[late kestrel]

zon recruiter just reached out on amazon for a new grad systems dev engineer role

[digital osprey]

Anyone here taken the final for lucid?

[serene fable]

What's the longest someone has gone between an amazon interview and a response? Has anyone needed more than a month?

[lament summit]

Me

Took about a month after final to get offer

But that was for intern

so might b different

[low scroll]

application to assessment was 5 months for AWS last internship cycle

[serene fable]

Doesn't seem like anybody needed 5 weeks or so after a final for a response

[unique cargo]

Are new grad responses typically faster than intern?

[runic wind]

Yes
Nobody cares about interns

[old smelt]

cause they're cheap and short term commitment

[lapis cove]

it wld be braindead to consider a series C with like $225tc where 60k is stock over roblox right even if i find the stock kinda promising

roblox $262k tc + like 6k 401k matching + sexy ESPP

[foggy perch]

yes unless you really really believe in the series C

like cult-like level belief

[old smelt]

I wouldn't call it brain-dead. At the end of the day is your life that much different making 150k vs 200k? Plus look at what happened to Figma, could be worth the risk

[foggy perch]

ehhh

I think there needs to be slightly more realism about startup stock rn when we're in a recession

I think the age of startup lottery tickets ain't gonna be as insane for the next few years

[lapis cove]

yea the stock was valued last year too so tbh im not vibing with it

[bleak raven]

look what i got today

[lapis cove]

i am a big fan of the company but is just too much of an L to take over roblox i think

[old smelt]

Ofc but it's not brain-dead, especially if the startup looks promising with good eng talent

[foggy perch]

fair

I think it's not a great move tho

at the very least

if you're optimizing for long term expected money

[old smelt]

Yea I would agree

[bleak raven]

ddog vs figma

[foggy perch]

depends how much figma be paying post ipo 👀

[bleak raven]

they’re giving me 220k, about same as ddog

both nyc

ya

[old smelt]

Well Figma NG return offer is now 328k

[flint dove]

hello all, Software Engineer from TikTok here reaching out to anyone that's looking to apply ^-^ pm me for more information or if looking for a referral! https://careers.tiktok.com/position/7133172857924454686/detail?spread=G1DWUPV https://careers.tiktok.com/position?type=2

[bleak raven]

even after buyout ?

[winter loom]

Has anyone taken the Bloomberg final?

[bleak raven]

adobe gonna crash company

it’s sus

[bronze nymph]

it might crash the company, but the tc is still crazy in the short term

[ancient holly]

is palantir using codesignal too?

[hasty birch]

no

[sonic coral]

Bro Adobe is decent for swe

[ancient holly]

ty!

[drifting pelican]

I told company A that I have an offer deadline with company B to speed up the process, but now they are asking the name and compensation of company B, but I lowkey don't want to tell them because company B's compensation is much lower than what company A supposedly pays. What should I do?

[rain patio]

Ye adobe super chill company esp its stable. Everyone uses adobe products for entertainment etc so theres no downside atm

[sonic coral]

They’re older so maybe you’ll have some more legacy but workload’s prob comparable to like msft

Pays similar too

[rain patio]

Id work thrre when in older

Rest and west

Vest

[lament summit]

So what’s it like working at figma

[lapis cove]

u can just say u dont wanna share the comp, but not telling the name is prob a bit weird if ur telling them u have an offer deadline, idk tho

what conoany is asking u for the details

[drifting pelican]

IMC

yeah that's why im contemplating. IT's pretty obvious what the comp will be if I tell them the name

It shouldn't affect the interview process right? other than the negotiation part

[unique cargo]

Whats TikTok new grad compensation?

[lapis cove]

u can prob just decline to share details and it wld be fine

[drifting pelican]

What do you think is a good reasoning would be?

[pure mauve]

does BB make you compile the code?

[prime hill]

Idt there's an auto link w/o proctoring

[neon whale]

Does anyone know what to expect for Bloomberg’s “tech chat” with a software engineer?

[prime hill]

You should do proctored anyway cuz you can resubmit everywhere

You can submit proctored scores to them too

[fallen hornet]

thoughts on this offer? 140k base, 75/4 RSU (17.5k a year) in manhattan

[prime hill]

Fair, idk there isn't one that I know of

[rocky ibex]

not at all

like 100% not at all

if you believe you can grow a lot at the series C and that there is high talent

i would heavily consider the series C

[prime hill]

Lmao same

[rocky ibex]

if you want more perspective dm company ig

[fallow furnace]

is there an updated new grad salary sharing somewhere?

[prime hill]

Have to wait for the cool down to be up

[old smelt]

+1

[prime hill]

Idk I'm planning to wait 14 days since last rejected attempt but I didn't ask

Also fwiw Roblox lets you extend oa if you ask

[uncut umbra]

does lyft have full time apps

or is it just interns atm

oh wait they don't?

fuk

[late kestrel]

usually youll have to pay a fine or something

depends on the contract

[uncut umbra]

what's the point of saying "all levels" on the lyft app if they need 5 years of experience? https://app.careerpuck.com/job-board/lyft/job/6095668002?gh_jid=6095668002

[late kestrel]

oh 2 year rotation != commitment

i thought you were talking about a WITCH company

[shrewd ivy]

fuck man 😦 I did the duolingo hackerrank but chocked on the second question with only 5/8 on test cases

is there any hopium to move on or is it doomed 💀

witch is like the bad companies contractors

[late kestrel]

like revature or infosys

by this time next month i will have an offer and be done with my search

manifesting

[uncut umbra]

I'm manifesting the same shit bro

trying to not lose hope atm

[late kestrel]

nah dont lose hope, still pleeeenty of time. i just want to be done asap

if it takes till november so be it

[ivory stratus]

I feel that

Trying to do the same 😭

[bleak raven]

pretttty cool

[steel sleet]

whats the codesignal trick people are talking about?

[shrewd ivy]

u can keep doing codesignal with a link and try over and over

the link is in this discord

[rustic vessel]

Palantir cancelled my redo, anyone know the entire process?

[low scroll]

wait what

[wicked rivet]

anyone know what seatgeek phone is like?

[shrewd ivy]

search certifiedInvite in this discord

[slate bobcat]

I heard thts a good sign

pretty sure it means that the first inteview was good enough

[solemn tinsel]

Damn Duolingo OA was quite difficult

The problems were challenging but more so the time limit is pretty unreasonable tbh

damn nice

impressive

yea I think I'm just rusty on lc this year lol

[shrewd ivy]

duolingo OA was not hard (no DP or shits like that) but long and lots of edge cases

I would say I got 1 ez and 1 med

[solemn tinsel]

Hmm yea I think I just ran into time trouble bc of some syntax issues

[shrewd ivy]

same ran out of time

hope we move on

[solemn tinsel]

I got the first question but it probs took me 5 more min than it should've bc I was messing up sorting syntax for some reason

[burnt oxide]

Has anyone heard back from duolingo after the OA?

[solemn tinsel]

The second question I didn't get time to finish implementing it but was close

[low scroll]

it has a cooldown too

[shrewd ivy]

use temp email

#2022_grads message

[low scroll]

you're a goat

thank you

[languid charm]

anyone here gave amazon final round in last 2-3 weeks ?

[tardy geode]

i think HPE is going on a hiring freeze

[serene fable]

I got an Amazon final round 2 weeks ago

[tardy geode]

I just got a mail that ng position has been closed , it opened up 2 days ago and i had applied

[tranquil sparrow]

Anyone know what codesignal score is good for Visa?

[ivory stratus]

Prob 800+

[late kestrel]

no way their hiring bar is that much higher than something like c1

[ivory stratus]

But also code signal is such bs. I know people who have gotten < 800 and have moved on and people who have gotten greater than 840 and got passed over

[floral plank]

Probably low

it would be crazy if they wanted high scores

[tranquil sparrow]

Praying for a low bar lmao

[marble bronze]

Probably a combination of CodeSignal + Resume

[floral plank]

Visa tryna be the next C1

[late kestrel]

they better up their pay by 20k then

[ivory stratus]

Tru

[tranquil sparrow]

Fingers crossed

[late kestrel]

3 days to do it is kinda lame

means i have to do it tmrw morning

[thick shell]

Visa is GCA right?

[tranquil sparrow]

Yes

[thick shell]

That’s so weird they have the 3 day shit when most companies give 2 weeks

CodeSignal legit the CS SAT now😭

[old smelt]

Most companies only expect like 700+ and resume screen after

[thick shell]

Every company on this platform now

[tranquil sparrow]

Is the 3 day thing only for Visa

[thick shell]

Not too bad

[late kestrel]

yeah

[thick shell]

But you really never know sometimes with these companies . Since the arbitrary hiring bar is always changing

[old smelt]

Yea I just know ppl who have gotten Netflix and HRT interviews with < 750 scores.

[thick shell]

Wtf?

Resume’s are probably stacked then

Part of me is hoping HRT stays on CodeSignal so I can possibly get an interview if I grind CodeSignal for a year

[ivory stratus]

yeah once i got above a 700 i was like ok im done lol

[old smelt]

I also know ppl with 840+ who get rejected. I really think it's mostly resume screen and if your skills/experience match the team openings

LC hard? Was gonna do it just now lol

[dusky plover]

@cedar nebula

how long do they give u

bruh

[old smelt]

The questions will be the same I assume

[dusky plover]

not rly? they can just pick out of the hackerrank pool no?

[frozen tapir]

does anyone have coinbase app link?

[marble bronze]

Is IBM behavioral auto?

I got the assessment like 2 weeks after Hackerrank

[smoky lodge]

Roblox vs Palantir vs Bloomberg and why

[late kestrel]

i took the oa monday and nothing yet

[late kestrel]

why tf r u asking that 😂

[marble bronze]

I took OA 9/7, just received part 2(?) today. So they might just be on the slower side

[grizzled bronze]

Their email said that the results from Codesignal are use as just one additional datapoint to decide who proceeds to interviews

[frozen tapir]

this like a long ass question bro

[floral plank]

None

[late kestrel]

walmart cashier

[floral plank]

No job simp right here

[split plaza]

Roblox exploits child labor, Palantir deports children, Bloomberg wins by default

oh right

unemployment wins by default

[frozen tapir]

has anyone done bloomberg onsite ?

[smoky lodge]

I haven’t gotten an offer from either but I’ve gotten past the Bloomberg phone, the Roblox OA, and I’ve got karat on Monday

[grizzled bronze]

Coinbase 2023 new grad is up https://www.thisworldthesedays.com/coinbase-2023---new-grad-university-.html

[shell fern]

layoff speedrun

[smoky lodge]

I know i probably won’t get an offer from any of them but since I’m deep I want to see what people think

[ivory stratus]

Don’t worry everyone will get laid off 3 months after start

[shell fern]

u got me

[smoky lodge]

I fell for this I’m a moron

[floral plank]

trump?

[smoky lodge]

had my resume ready and everything

[frozen tapir]

when u say gotten past u mean ur at onsite now for bb?

[smoky lodge]

Yep

[frozen tapir]

nice bro

do yk anything ab bb onsite

[smoky lodge]

Nope

[frozen tapir]

is it pretty much their final cuz im hearing mixed things

some people say there r other rounds after

[foggy perch]

it's basically final

there's an Engineering Manager round afterwards technically

but you're very likely to get an offer if you reach that point

[frozen tapir]

ohh i see thanks bro

[foggy perch]

assuming you don't super fuck up

or get a bad interviewer

[loud olive]

Anyone know what circle TC is like for new grad? Lol

Level is looking kinda low

[frozen tapir]

recurring or 1st year?

[loud olive]

1st year

And recurring too I guess haha

[frozen tapir]

i heard its around 180 first year

i think levels is accurate for recurring

[smoky lodge]

“kinda low”

[frozen tapir]

lol

[loud olive]

Lol didn’t mean to sound like a dick

Everything is relative I guess

[smoky lodge]

I know COL can be crazy but 180k is definitely good anywhere lmao

[late kestrel]

@smoky lodge did u get 3hr final or the split 1h final

[quick wraith]

What’s the turn around after the code signal for circle got a 776

[smoky lodge]

3 hour

[smoky lodge]

I feel like you might have a shot with a high 700s score if your resume is 🔥

[quick wraith]

Itsover

[foggy perch]

I've heard Circle NG interview kinda hard though where they ask you in-depth coding questions

and not just lc

[floral plank]

Does datadog interview based on team?

[dusky plover]

i just had the worst phone call lmao
this guy called me from a startup at 9pm last night
assumed i immediately knew how to speak mandarin
and scheduled a phone for today
immediately he starts grilling me on my resume and arguing with me about the bullet points i used in my resume
than asks me data structures and ended the phone

[floral plank]

Cuz recruiter reached out

[marble bronze]

Did you apply to some 996 company in Shenzhen bro

[dusky plover]

it was some company i applied to on indeed

indeed apps are a L

[lilac siren]

yes, they will ask sys design

[quick wraith]

Front for organ harvesting

[loud olive]

ya no lc actually, just sys design and pair-programming to implement APIs

[lilac siren]

but at least it was mentioned when the interviews were being scheduled

[tardy geode]

the startup that i worked at had better recruiting process than amazon smh

[buoyant halo]

Is it really hard to clear Circle resume screen?

[quick wraith]

Yes

[foggy perch]

it is?

huh

I just ghosted them when they asked for interviewing scheduling because I didn't want to do sys design and implementing APIs for a NG interview lmao

[dusky plover]

waiit

did u straight up say u didnt wanna do their interview process

[foggy perch]

no

[dusky plover]

in an email

[foggy perch]

I just submitted my resume and codesignal for the app

got an email to give availabilities

and never responded

[dusky plover]

ah ok

i applied with a referral link and they sent me an oa

which i sent them my 844 score

and they havent replied since than

[foggy perch]

rip idk then

since they'll definitely email you asking for interviewing avail if you pass

I assumed it was just a low resume screen high codesignal screen

[dusky plover]

prolly, my resume has good experience but bad company clout

[foggy perch]

I didn't really end up going that deep since I didn't feel like the process was worth it for what I assumed was 160-170k tc nyc

rip

idk if circle tc has grown at all though since it barely has any submissions on levels

last ones I see are like 165k in 2021

[loud olive]

yea i'm very curious to hear what the TC is

[foggy perch]

idk I'd assume max is probs 180k TC

I doubt they've grown beyond that in a year

if they have i'm impressed

[vast rock]

can someone explain to me wtf is a Expedia Group Lead Summit? is this a mix of intern & full time?

so confused

[lilac siren]

I am also confused

[late kestrel]

it looks like a program with interns and a full time rotational program

[vast rock]

ah

[ocean hinge]

Anybody did the VISA codesignal OA

[late kestrel]

nope gonna do it tmrw morning

its just a gca

[lone goblet]

Anyone know if bloomberg on campus interview is synonymous with the phone

[vast rock]

visa uses codesignal nowadays?

[ivory stratus]

Too many companies use code signal man 😤

[floral plank]

Rip just got rejected by Zip Recruiter

[shrewd ocean]

think thats the wrong app link

[shrewd ocean]

w what score

[floral plank]

819

[ripe marsh]

Is HRT OA automatic? Just got it

[vast rock]

thats the only app thats on expedia early career website tho?

[shrewd ocean]

thats actually crazy

[floral plank]

Yeah

My 819 score hasn't helped me as of now

[vast rock]

Yeah i can confirm 819 got auto rejected by circlr as well

[floral plank]

Circle ghosted me

[shrewd ocean]

naw someone posted the actual link in a thread in the process channel

[floral plank]

Seatgeek too

[floral plank]

Circle?

[vast rock]

Yes

This year cut offs are at least 820

I think 819 may work for roblox?

Not sure

[floral plank]

Nah I got rejected

For Roblox

For circle they ghosted me

[vast rock]

But i know someone who got 810 ish

Got roblox

Roblox could depend on how well u did for their games

[floral plank]

Yeah it is probably a lot of factors

[warm monolith]

dw guys codesignal is fake

[violet badger]

wdym fake

[vast rock]

Did u go to a US undergrad

[warm monolith]

i have rblx final w 765

[floral plank]

Seatgeek didn’t reach out to me after codesignal

[floral plank]

Yea

[warm monolith]

so dont worry too much

[vast rock]

Roblox auto reject non US undergrads

[warm monolith]

i just have fb is all

[violet badger]

yep can confirm

[vast rock]

This year? I know ppl with 770s for last year roblox idk this year tho

[warm monolith]

yep

[vast rock]

Dam

[warm monolith]

tbf i got 824 last yr so maybe they still have that

[vast rock]

I also have fb hi fellow meta mate

I am debating if i resubmit 819 for roblox or redo. But what if i do worse lol

[foggy perch]

just submit old score then

[vast rock]

Blame zuc for no return offer for fb interns okay? Not our fault

[kind galleon]

Fb really just pumped and dumped their interns

[vast rock]

But the guy above me is saying 819 gets auto rejected

[warm monolith]

rblx is p busy so submit should be fine

[foggy perch]

🤷

no loss in trying for another score

[floral plank]

It kinda sucks, 819 doesn't seem so high now

[old smelt]

Was it auto? Likely a resume screen

[foggy perch]

probs more likely to get rejected for the cognitive tests or resume screen over the codesignal once you get around 820+

at roblox imo

[floral plank]

Nah it wasn't. I heard back 2 days after oa.

[foggy perch]

roblox resume screens after oa

[warm monolith]

if it matters i had like 4 robots ea

[foggy perch]

that's a fact

[warm monolith]

for the game

[foggy perch]

it's random tho bc people have diff courses

[vast rock]

Wait if i retry and get lower than 819 i cant use 819 right

[foggy perch]

2 can be shit for some

great for others

[ivory stratus]

I think you can still choose the 819

[floral plank]

Could be that. I had 4 for the first one and 2 for the other one,

[ivory stratus]

Correct me if I’m wrong anybody lol

[floral plank]

Don’t think so

Last year I got a 770 on one codesignal and when I did it for Roblox it auto submit my 690

[foggy perch]

rip

[floral plank]

Even C1?

[ivory stratus]

How’s your resume? That’s freaking dumb

[late kestrel]

i was ab to ask ab c1 lmaoo

[kind galleon]

chad

score

s

[foggy perch]

HRT and Databricks resume screen just goes crazy

[echo finch]

wat

fr?

why

[vast rock]

Reasons

[late kestrel]

roblox also auto rejects cool people

if you got rejected by roblox, that means youre too cool for them

[weak latch]

Citadel is apparently paying fucking $108/hour to interns

And $10k signing bonus

Holy SHIT

helllll nah

bro

[crude saffron]

not for swe

[weak latch]

im talkin about swe dawg

[crude saffron]

ic you can prolly still nego

idt intern pay should influence your decision that much though

[weak latch]

bro

compared to citadel level candidates

i

am a tiny speck 10,000 miles away

😂 😂

that's just CRAZY though $108/hour!!!!

[crude saffron]

there are higher

[weak latch]

no

not for interns

[crude saffron]

yes there are

[weak latch]

according to levels fyi that is, for swes

[shrewd ivy]

darth have you never seen the $100/hr richard meme?

[late kestrel]

me talking to my sports management roommate making 200/week on 10 hour days 6 days a week

poor guy

[fresh lagoon]

whats the highest you've seen

[crude saffron]

pre nego there are multiple places w/ 300k pro-rated for interns inc signing, so 150/hr amortized ig

intern offers are quite inflated due to competing for talent

[peak ferry]

tfw I'm literally poverty

[late kestrel]

hello fellow poor

[lapis cove]

alexa play in the arms of an angel

[shrewd ivy]

I mean there are ppl that are just born rich

[frozen tapir]

sup

[shrewd ivy]

sup

[peak ferry]

not faang, dem trading firms

[shrewd ivy]

meta rockstar return intern new grad does almost 300k

[peak ferry]

fb ge gets close iirc not but quite

[old smelt]

Facebook GE return offer is 290k I believe

[crude saffron]

that's impressive

is that higher than ng offer?

[late kestrel]

i just clocked out of my desk job that pays $12/hr

who's poor now

[peak ferry]

a lot higher than their normal ng lol

[shrewd ivy]

yeah they get 75k sign on bonus so it is high for the first year

[peak ferry]

their stonk is also a bit higher p sure

[crude saffron]

is there a particular reason why the return offer is so high?

[fresh lagoon]

It's just sign on

[peak ferry]

GE is their top performance review so they get big $$

[fresh lagoon]

Isn't like stripe higher anyways

[shrewd ivy]

stripe is paper money tho

[fresh lagoon]

Excluding the paper money stripe is like 200k

[peak ferry]

brb going to the food bank

[tardy geode]

[normal palm]

google and meta negotiated can both be 290 in hcol

[peak ferry]

google plays p hard ball/ur gonna need an actual competing offer

[normal palm]

ye facts

[hollow timber]

i didnt even get to the third question on my redo for palantir karait 😢

such limited time

[old smelt]

I don't think they consider paper money either

[fresh lagoon]

They don't

They consider location tho

[exotic lintel]

really

hmm

i want to work for google but they have hiring freeze

[foggy perch]

wtf wdym

[exotic lintel]

emailed my recruiter last week, still pause

[foggy perch]

like they say they only nego if you have two competing offers

?

wtf

I wonder if they're doing it to indirectly discriminate against amazon competing offers lmao

[peak ferry]

friend with an amazon competing offer basically just got told no

lol

[coarse quiver]

And probably from a decent company

[foggy perch]

really lmao

[peak ferry]

idk about "2 competing offers" but they want the actual offer letter and it's got to actually beat the G offer

[foggy perch]

oh

[exotic lintel]

no like "no your offer is revoked, fuck Amazon"
or "no we don't want to negotiate "

[foggy perch]

that's normal

[coarse quiver]

I know someone who bagged bb and 🍌 and tried to negotiate G Zurich. Bro got a straight L

[peak ferry]

"no we don't want to negotiate"

[exotic lintel]

oh woa

[foggy perch]

I would

Roblox > G if pay is more

[quick wraith]

G is overrated

[crude saffron]

I don’t think purely optimizing for EV should be sole reason

[foggy perch]

I think roblox stock price how mostly bottomed out at this point

[quick wraith]

you work on shit stuff @ G

[peak ferry]

if G matched or close to matched robux I think I'd rather take G

[foggy perch]

idk I have faith roblox stock price won't go much lower than it is rn but maybe you might not

[exotic lintel]

quick question, why no one mention PornHub software engineer in this server 🤔

[kind galleon]

Isn't this a pretty easy decision

[foggy perch]

they get paid peanuts

[quick wraith]

(Ps: my opinion has no relation to the fact that I want to work there and I am culling the competition)

[kind galleon]

They're based in Canada

[grizzled bronze]

I think a lot of their listings are in Canada

jinx

[kind galleon]

Ya lol

[peak ferry]

ic paid in nuts, interesting business model

[exotic lintel]

hmm

[peak ferry]

why I didn't say nothin

[kind galleon]

like with the exploding offer if you take it, Roblox > g

exploding bonus*

[loud olive]

Is circle public?

[kind galleon]

assuming g is w/o nego

[coarse quiver]

What location?

[lament summit]

Cuz it’s not pornhub

It’s mindgeek

[exotic lintel]

lol i literally just saw this on Reddit

[chilly burrow]

They pay like shit + bad culture afaik

[lament summit]

how do u know

[chilly burrow]

😎

[lament summit]

do u get free ph premium?

[chilly burrow]

Helped me land Uber interview

[coarse quiver]

Matching with a G team in Bay should be very easy

[chilly burrow]

They giv u ph plat

Wich is a newer subscription in the works

[hexed moth]

cant even begin to imagine what ur coworkers at pornhub must be like

[coarse quiver]

Is there a team matching process at Roblox?

[chilly burrow]

Very kind

Management was shit tho

[coarse quiver]

Did you already do team matching with Google?

[loud olive]

Yea I saw that too, kinda confused tho

[chilly burrow]

🤭

[loud olive]

Nope probs call on Monday m

[coarse quiver]

Then do some team matching interviews. You might find some teams working on amazing projects and others working on products that will never be released

G is very team dependant

[loud olive]

Will do

[coarse quiver]

Wdym

For returning interns?

Or every fulltimer joiners

Really?

[thick cave]

Has anyone here taken the circle OA?

[coarse quiver]

hope I will return at G next may

[thick cave]

Or SIG OA

[coarse quiver]

Did you lose access to ur g account?

[stuck siren]

Isn’t circle oa codesignal?

[thick cave]

Ye

Ye that’s true

Forgot it was a code signal for a sec lmao

[coarse quiver]

should i apply now or wait until then

[shell fern]

U the 🐐

[craggy radish]

LMAO As soon as I saw that it was about taking turns and picking from piles I had an inkling it would be a rigged type of game

[weak latch]

i dont rly get the math behind it tho

so there's an even number of odd piles

[craggy radish]

probably try drawing out a game tree and generalize it to n

The important part is that the total number of stones across all the piles is odd, so there are no ties.

[split plaza]

why'd they post this on a Friday evening 💀

Last task of the week lol

[whole berry]

i need a job so i can afford some therapy

[foggy perch]

No way unless the man has yoe or a masters he ain't mentioning

I don't think bb will nego to 240k with 0 yoe lmao

[uncut umbra]

has anyone done the thomson reuters MSP hackerrank thingy yet

[rain patio]

hey i have bloomberg phone screen for new grad in three weeks
when people recommend to do the tagged list are the looking at it based on the "6 months" option or the "all time" option?

[whole berry]

well, idk how much all time would help you

but top 100 for any company are updated every saturday

[rain patio]

top 100 for six months?

[whole berry]

meaning more "votes" are added to whatever questions were supposedly asked

so it would be best to find someone with leetcode premium and have them give you the list

[rain patio]

i have lc premium. what should i do from there?

im genuinely lost, should i just do 6 months and solve those problems?

[whole berry]

6 months before or all time would just obsfucate the votes and definitely move some questions from top 20 to maybe top 10 or vice versa

so technically top 100 doesn't change much give or take

[whole berry]

ya

i didnt know u had premium

do the past 6 months

[rain patio]

where do i get top 100 from?

[whole berry]

problems page -> side bar that says companies -> bloomberg

[whole berry]

should be it

i dont have premium

cant confirm for you lol

[rain patio]

the top 100 is different from all time and past 6 months

but ig what you're saying is right

top 10 in 6 months are ago will still be there in the top 100 for all time and vice-versa

It looks like it’s a hackerrank

[tardy geode]

1 LC easy and other was medium

[tardy geode]

yep

[weak latch]

Do you know what the rest of their process is?

[tardy geode]

i mean

[weak latch]

Damn

[tardy geode]

i gave it like 2 weeks back

and stilll haven't heard anything further

[weak latch]

It took them a whole month to send me an OA lol

[tardy geode]

people have given it 2 months back and haven't heard

😟

maybe i am non us grad that's why

[weak latch]

Oh shit I didn’t think a company like Goldman would even sponsor

That’s cool

[tardy geode]

they do sponsor

but GS is like a typical corpo

[rain patio]

Anyone who got "delayed interview and queued to invited" mail for amazon SDE full time ? Did anyone hear back from them after that?

[shrewd ocean]

y is ziprecruiter rejecting everyone lol

[winter loom]

whats the salary?

[foggy perch]

Which location

But also i doubt it since I think most big companies have pretty standard ng offers unless you have competing offer, or return experience to leverage

[night magnet]

Also in this situation

Can u lmk what TC they offer u

And I’ll lyk what my TC is so we can make sure no lowball

Here’s the ng data for remote

[marble bronze]

God damn

No wonder GM rejected me

[pulsar mural]

@modest bone there’s button for “remind me later” or “already added salary”

[late kestrel]

solved q4 on a codesignal 3 different ways and all 3 were TLEs :(((

[foggy perch]

phone (Why Bloomberg? + Bloomberg tagged LC)

[low scroll]

I've gone through about 10 questions in tagged

wondering if I need to go thru the OOD and LC hards as well

[low scroll]

also how long is the behavioral part?

[surreal marsh]

Is it a must to get some internships to pass bbg’s resume screening

[foggy perch]

for me if it was just why bloomberg

[foggy perch]

no for hard, maybe yes for ood

i never got ood but some do

[fast tulip]

Thanks! Yes Not OcI

[low scroll]

what did you say for this

[foggy perch]

just google their lps or company values and name some stuff about them you like or smthing to show you put in research

[grizzled bronze]

Nope, not seeing much added right now

I might buy later depending on how good his System Design course is

[west egret]

Was this for the phone technical on zoom + hackerrank?

I only got asked for an intro + talk about project and not why BB. But I did get asked two LC.

[foggy perch]

my bb process was phone which was technical and asked why BB -> Final

didn't get asked to talk about project

[west egret]

Ahh okay. Guess it depends on interviewer. Or I completely didn't hear why BB when they asked lol

Does BB consistently ask their tagged Qs?

[foggy perch]

🤷

have you done final yet

[west egret]

Nah I did technical phone

[foggy perch]

since I think they'll almost certainly ask it to you at least at some point

[west egret]

waiting to hear back about it

[foggy perch]

since they asked it to me in phone, and multiple times in final

with diff interviewers

lmao

[west egret]

Yeah I was just going to talk about BB terminal

[foggy perch]

ye that works

I did that + stuff about lp

[west egret]

Basically something to show that I bothered to google them before going into the interview

[foggy perch]

yep

[west egret]

how long after final before they respond?

[foggy perch]

like 1 week tops

[west egret]

Pretty fast then.

GL if you haven't heard back yet

[foggy perch]

oh I already have the offer lmao

I finished bb process a few months ago

gl to you though

[west egret]

Yeah I think I can rest if I manage BB

[foggy perch]

if you finished final round there's still a chill EM thing they schedule

btw

assuming you passed

[west egret]

Yeah I heard

Is it basically just to make sure you don't throw any red flags?

[foggy perch]

uhhhh

to me that's what it was

but I've heard of some more tryhard managers asking sys design or stuff

so idk

mine was just them asking minor questions about resume

[west egret]

💀

I'm dead if they ask sys design

[foggy perch]

same if they asked sys design

I'm mostly chilling with bb, just doing like 1 more interview

[west egret]

Yeah since SF/Slack is unlikely unless previous intern, I'm just aiming for MSFT and BB as target companies.

Waiting on WD to give me return as well

[foggy perch]

yeah msft and bb roughly similar in culture and pay

imo

WD?

[west egret]

workday

[foggy perch]

ah

[low scroll]

@west egret

[west egret]

I didn't work on their recruitment stuff

don't ask me to fix their site

[low scroll]

were your LC problems for phone in tagged

[west egret]

variation of tagged

[low scroll]

which ones

[west egret]

top 10

[foggy perch]

get WD to start having companies share employee profiles smh

gotta remake the same acc password and resume filler everytime

disgusting

[west egret]

Tbf

[low scroll]

I see

[west egret]

I think Simplify works for WD applications

At least it has been working for me

[low scroll]

really nervous for phone, but oh well

waiting on docu return

I can chill a bit once that happens

[west egret]

If you're not fully confident in the LC, focus on communication.

[low scroll]

yeah that's the strat

[west egret]

I needed hints but I made some progress with them at least.

[low scroll]

did you finish the problem?

[west egret]

I'm still waiting lol

Finished q1. Only really talked about q2.

A O(n) solution would have been trivial

but they wanted O(log n)

[livid yew]

Day 8? Bro you ain't getting the OA

[tardy geode]

na mate 😭

[livid yew]

Lmao that message was from 11am

[foggy perch]

huh if it's logn sounds like binary search

[low scroll]

I've gotta OA after 5 months for zon 😭

[livid yew]

[west egret]

I haven't applied to AMZN yet.

[low scroll]

did you get OOD questions?

[foggy perch]

finished my zon last week

[west egret]

Should I even bother at this point after they're slowing down hiring

[foggy perch]

still waiting for result

thought the lc I got was pretty easy at least

[west egret]

nah LC

[low scroll]

some of the meds in BB tagged are def not mediums

[west egret]

I'm praying to be asked tagged lol

[foggy perch]

amazon tagged lc is so large it won't matter if you get asked tagged lmaooo

[late kestrel]

remember tagged qs include every level of candidates

[foggy perch]

it's 1.2k+ questions

amazon tagged means nothing basically

oh wait

you mean bb right

[west egret]

Oh I meant BB

[low scroll]

oh shit

i didn't even think of it this way

[west egret]

I haven't even applied to Zon

[foggy perch]

meh questions I got were pretty easy for my bb final

but I've heard it varies

I literally only had one coding round in my final

other two were chill chats

[low scroll]

bruh what

[foggy perch]

ik some people had two coding rounds?

🤷

[low scroll]

I hope mine is like yours joe

confident I can ace behavioral

[foggy perch]

gotta make sure you don't slip up on behavioral though

[west egret]

Oh I thought both round in final were technical

[foggy perch]

not for me

for me it was

Coding w/ multiple interviewers -> Coffee chat w/ Senior Eng -> HR chat

[low scroll]

I wonder why it varies so much

[swift urchin]

some finals have 1 technical 2 behavioral, some have 2 technical 2 behavioral

Depends on their capacity for interviewing at the time

[foggy perch]

I feel like 2 tech 2 behav might also mean you're on the fringe?

i'm not sure though

[west egret]

Quite honestly I'm a little surprised I got a phone with BB. No FANG internship and not a t50 school even.

[low scroll]

BB is on hiring spree

[foggy perch]

i think bb resume screen isn't that hard imo

[swift urchin]

I think 2/2 is the standard

[foggy perch]

🤷

[late kestrel]

and some finals are only 2 rounds total, split up into 2 days, 1h each.

[foggy perch]

I got the 1/2 a few months ago

was less busy then too

so idk

mine was 1 day 3 rounds

[west egret]

I didn't get past screen last year. Granted I had no internship then lol

[swift urchin]

oh interesting

[foggy perch]

rip

[swift urchin]

I had 1 technical and thought it would be it but then they said here’s another plus the two behavioral

[west egret]

BB would be sweet though. NYC mainly right?

And they have an office in HK

[low scroll]

they have offices everywhere

[late kestrel]

ng is nyc or princeton

theyve got 3 offices in nyc too no?

[foggy perch]

huh that sounds like they might've had inconsistent results for the first round then?

and wanted to retest maybe

[foggy perch]

I think it's super minority that it's in princeton though

[grizzled bronze]

Only if the interview is through Tinder

[serene nymph]

Nope

[tardy geode]

at this point i just need an offer

😟

@livid yew

[west egret]

1x hurt my tongue first time I had it. Not that bad after you have it a few times.

[serene nymph]

Yea 2x is the spiciest thing I've ever tried

I bought a 5 pack

Don't think I can eat it all loool

[west egret]

Nah do it. You'll be better prepared for the recruiting process that way.

You'll be used to pain.

[serene nymph]

Looool wise advice

I need to do codesignal now, I have a stack of undone oas

F

The spice will get me used to suffering

[quick wraith]

for OA

[dusky plover]

what r u gonna do bro

draw a pentagram and sacrifice a goat or something on the sign

[jaunty basalt]

I’m eating goat rn

[late kestrel]

my recruiter is in princeton

and hes nice!!

[dusky plover]

thanks for the invite ashole?

[jaunty basalt]

I mean we have office da bae area too

[dusky plover]

ok

refer me to BB than so i can join u lol

wait

[foggy perch]

would you want to live in princeton tho

[dusky plover]

does bb actually have office in BA

[foggy perch]

I personally wouldn't want to ng

BA?

[jaunty basalt]

SF yes

[foggy perch]

oh bay area

I don't think they offer it ng though

only offices they mentioned were nyc and princeton

[jaunty basalt]

[jaunty basalt]

They have better food

[foggy perch]

sounds fake

also princeton sounds so boring, I don't wanna live in a college town after college

[dusky plover]

@jaunty basalt

bro

[foggy perch]

get those shitters kids from me

[dusky plover]

if u come to the bay area

i can mooch off ur rent

[jaunty basalt]

How you gonna tell someone that works there rn and has access to the menus that

[dusky plover]

i can live in the living room while u get the bedroom

[jaunty basalt]

Wtf

[foggy perch]

oh like the bb offered food is better there?

[quick wraith]

BB don’t even pay that much

Why the fuss

[foggy perch]

I thought you meant restaurants

[foggy perch]

you working at a quant?

[quick wraith]

Nah

For software

Isn’t it 150 max for NYC

[foggy perch]

no

it's like 170-180 tc

150-155 is the base

20ish plus for bonus

[quick wraith]

[low scroll]

??

[jaunty basalt]

What

It says intern

What’s ur point

[low scroll]

why is there an intern posting there

new feature?

[jaunty basalt]

Interns can post salary, makes no sense but they can

Always could

Should be hourly rate not annual especially if they don’t even work the full year cuz it’s an internship but whtvr

[low scroll]

probably 108k perforated

[late kestrel]

no thanks

[jaunty basalt]

Yet you still applied

[late kestrel]

theres a separate intern section on levels, its dumb they even allow them to put intern salaries in the full time section

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah it’s cringe

But whatever, can’t take everything as the truth anyways

[quick wraith]

interview practice

[late kestrel]

more data points the better ig. makes it more accurate

[jaunty basalt]

Damn you balling like that?

[quick wraith]

jk I would be lucky to even pass the resume screen

[jaunty basalt]

You be aight

[marble bronze]

Is it time to apply to roles like this

I'm dooming

[solemn crag]

Anyone did HRT phone for Core Eng SWE? Just wondering how many rounds are there

[jaunty basalt]

at that point you should take a pay cut to get 69,420/year

[primal pike]

for many careers thats the max theyll ever make

[marble bronze]

Fair

[unique cargo]

A great day to be a CS major

[primal pike]

the gap gets bigger

it'll either be people making 30k or 300k

[marble bronze]

I dunno, maybe I'm just still stuck in a bubble. I'm hoping for something closer to 80-90 base on the low end

[high zenith]

Has anyone dealt with delayed graduation? How did the hr react? I have a new grad offer that’s contingent on May 2023 graduation, but an opportunity came up this fall that I want to take delays grad date by a semester

[unique cargo]

Any reputable company is paying 100k+ base for new grads

[marble bronze]

Lot of non tech F500 are not 100k from at least their Colorado numbers

[unique cargo]

Maybe I have not done enough salary research

[marble bronze]

Damn, companies are getting competitive with openings

[unique cargo]

But just about every company I’ve looked up pays 100k+ for base

[marble bronze]

Hm. Maybe I was wrong

[unique cargo]

Also you have to take into account location

[sonic coral]

not true, unless you mean hcol only

and even then there's still 80-100k bases

[unique cargo]

What is hcol?

[sonic coral]

high cost of living

basically bay or nyc

[unique cargo]

Oh I see

Seattle not included in there?

[marble bronze]

Seattle included yeah

[sonic coral]

seattle is more like mcol

[marble bronze]

Really?

[sonic coral]

relative to bay/nyc yes

[unique cargo]

I’d says Seattle, NYC, LA, Bay are high cost of living

Seattle is a bit lower than the rest

But still well above places like Austin

[marble bronze]

Hm

I guess Medium-High

MCOL I was told was closer to like Dallas, with average 1B1B in Downtown core at $1600/month-ish

[sonic coral]

austin is getting to mcol level

at least downtown

[unique cargo]

I was in north Austin for internship

Rent at a nice apartment in the city area was about 1.7-2k

1 bedroom

[sonic coral]

yeah in downtown thats closer to 2.5k

[unique cargo]

Austin the next big tech hub?

[serene nymph]

i got pinterest oa didnt know they worked on saturdays
