wdym declined

#

as in you forced them to increase base and bonus instead?

teal jackal
#

Amazon is team dependent, more pay and better prestige at a good team, no contest beats Bloomberg

fair zinc
#

I wouldn't stay at BB for two years

bronze nymph
#

the problem with amazon is that the teams are all over the place

foggy perch
#

ohhh

#

you turned down bb for where

fair zinc
#

once the market gets warmer, I will jump off to FAANG

teal jackal
#

Bad team at Amazon makes Amazon a harder sell over bbg

#

But I get why one would take it

foggy perch
#

yeah that's probs a better choice

serene fable
#

Which amazon teams are good?

foggy perch
#

meta return offers sus though

#

palantir pay is pog

pure mauve
#

Palantir pays nice

sonic coral
#

I know someone who turned down G for BB

simple elk
sonic coral
#

To give you guys some perspective

foggy perch
#

lmao

#

like I'm down to hype up bb since I'll probably work there

simple elk
foggy perch
#

but g is definitely better pay-wise and career-wise than bb

#

imo

simple elk
#

good and bad in every org

foggy perch
#

bb also good if you want to super wlb though

bronze nymph
sonic coral
simple elk
foggy perch
#

they couldn't request a diff team?

sonic coral
#

Like they just had a bad taste after that internship and didn’t wanna return to G

foggy perch
#

i guesssss

green pewter
#

My offers Google Meta Bloomberg Citadel

foggy perch
young flare
foggy perch
#

even if the google team is good I'd choose roblox over google

#

imo

simple elk
foggy perch
#

google clout is too strong

simple elk
#

They like relevent experience

foggy perch
#

I think google clout > bloomberg clout + finance stuff

sonic coral
#

Well it wasn’t about it boring I think it was more like the way she was treated or something, she really didn’t wanna get into details

foggy perch
#

meh I do think bb financial background helps a bit

#

just not enough to make up for google

bronze nymph
#

100% agree, this is often very heavily misconstrued

sonic coral
#

I know a guy at G who came from BB and knew this person also and he said that she loves BB now after like 3ish years

foggy perch
#

like to me Roblox has all the positives of Google and more

simple elk
#

Maybe its different for intern then, they liked my BS fideliy experience last year

foggy perch
#

imo

#

did you get offer from roblox yet?

#

or are you still waiting on confirmation

#

oh

#

nice

sonic coral
#

I really hate tier lists because I do think a lot of these choices are subjective in a way

foggy perch
#

only rough thing I've heard about roblox is that they might have some wacky tech stacks

#

but that's a thing at every company

#

just choose the company with the most pay / hr in relation to TC and WLB

#

ez

sonic coral
#

There are opportunities to learn finance stuff at bb is what I heard

bronze nymph
sonic coral
#

Like you can get involved in finance stuff even if your team doesn’t

foggy perch
#

hft

#

harder to sell your financial knowledge from reading a book vs financial knowledge from work

sonic coral
#

Oh huge perk from bb actually is that you have free news without paywalls

foggy perch
#

better get prepped to become LGBT if you're going to SF where it's only techbros

shrewd sparrow
#

finding an nyc position that's not hft is a struggle rn

sonic coral
foggy perch
#

I value TC > Relationships

sonic coral
#

NY is super competitive

foggy perch
#

which is why I'd choose Roblox > Bloomberg

shrewd sparrow
#

I had two nyc internships and got my verbal return offer rescinded from both lmao

sonic coral
#

Lol I’m talking about offers

shrewd sparrow
#

rip past me who thought that I couldn't possibly fail 2 internships

shrewd sparrow
#

snapchat & stripe

sonic coral
#

I don’t think google is even hiring new grad rn

foggy perch
#

more like snapchat firing

sonic coral
#

Like at all

simple elk
#

ng isn't even open anymore if you dint get in

sonic coral
#

Intern app has nyc available tho

vague kraken
#

it's crazy how we're coming in right the end of a 10 year party

gilded dust
#

I signed my offer letter hopefully it doesn’t get rescinded

vague kraken
#

all of them are at risk of rescinding

foggy perch
#

I wonder how much of a scumbag move it'd be rn to sign multiple companies and renege last second KEKW

maiden ice
#

I think they’re doing ECI a little different this year, it seems it was decided for me to be in ECI path from the start

gilded dust
#

It’s not the company that concerns me but the economy lol

jaunty basalt
#

Like free bonus basically but like nobody could predict that shit

sonic coral
simple elk
foggy perch
#

to me at least

gilded dust
#

We’ll get a low stock price guys!!!!!

jaunty basalt
foggy perch
#

true

#

i will say tho

#

people who rejected google/meta for coinbase are still crazy

teal jackal
jaunty basalt
crude saffron
#

Coinbase was poorly run it’s not just cause of crypto

crude saffron
#

Ftx has 1/100 of the devs and they’re doing fine

sonic coral
sonic coral
foggy perch
#

mainly because I've always had 0 faith in crypto

#

but that's just me maybe

formal fable
sonic coral
#

If you RENEGED faang for cb that def is risky af but if you chose cb out of faang then I mean that’s something else

sonic coral
foggy perch
#

meh

teal jackal
sonic coral
#

But no one has a magic 8 ball

foggy perch
#

i agree

sonic coral
#

And at the time cb was a decent company to work at

foggy perch
#

if coinbase paid similarly or only a bit more than other faangs though there would've been a 0% chance I accepted it

#

because I sus on crypto completely

teal jackal
#

I thought coin base paid well

foggy perch
#

there's probs people who will disagree with my take on crypto but that's their perogative

sonic coral
late kestrel
#

my gf is at ghc rn and the amount of interviews shes getting is wild lmaooo

grizzled bronze
late kestrel
#

my dumbass over here grindin lc when i shoulda just been a girl !

jaunty basalt
sonic coral
#

That seems uh risky

simple elk
#

No matter how legit coinbase is them getting rolled was easily predictable. Rescinding probably wasn't tho

formal fable

just transition 4head

Grace hopper convention

sonic coral
#

Ok yeah THATS def one that was really hard to see coming

dusky plover
#

HAHAHA

foggy perch
#

isn't snap owned by meta

dusky plover
#

i thought codepath was the best out there

teal jackal
#

I mean I feel like you can't blame the employees for not predicting the future

grizzled bronze
jaunty basalt
#

Ur funny my son

deft crow
#

AR platform and AR glasses, Snap is the only one of those platforms that’s actually created a functioning pair

#

Plus the AR creation tools are really good

teal jackal
#

Isn't snap a meme too, no adult actually uses their product

formal fable
#

And scholarships

late kestrel
dusky plover
#

need...interviews....

foggy perch
#

that's assuming the metaverse actually takes off KEKW

deft crow
#

Creating a good AR platform and hardware is hella difficult

foggy perch
#

I still have 0 faith in the metaverse lmao

sonic coral
#

Seems more like an if than a “once” if you ask me

deft crow
#

Meta has done pretty well with VR but their best approach to AR is pass through mixed reality

sonic coral
#

Their current metaverse shit is like worse than vrchat

foggy perch
#

I personally hope meta just stops with the metaverse pushing stuff, and just focuses on good products

halcyon kernel
#

do you have to ace all 4 google interviews to get an offer

deft crow
#

Which is like, a VR headset that just has you looking at your VE camera feed

#

Metaverse is absolute bullshit Lmao

#

I’m really into AR/VR tech but the people pushing Metaverse know nothing ab virtual communities

foggy perch
#

idk it genuinely feels like the only worthwhile product meta has anymore is Oculus VR

#

everything else sounds like absolutely garbage

formal fable
#

One of the offers was basically no interview, straight up offer

teal jackal
#

i feel like the problem with the metaverse is that meta created a solution without any problem
not a concrete problem and not an abstract problem either extrapolated from consumer sentiment

civic summit
#

A contact at figma told me recruiting said they emailed me on Sept 15, but I don’t see shit in any of my inboxes (spam , trash, etc.) I let them know but is there anywhere else I might be missing the email?

foggy perch
#

but also wearing a vr headset is mad uncomfortable for long times

#

who the fuck wants to do a meeting in a vr headset

deft crow
#

Yeah, like the Metaverse concept is very nebulous and means entirely different things to diff people

foggy perch
#

that shit sounds terrible

teal jackal
#

like everyone is fine with digital interaction being 2d

sonic coral
#

I’m not looking forward to a future of sitting in vr headsets

teal jackal
#

nobody really wants or needs vr shopping

foggy perch
#

that's the only time I'll have faith in vr

#

is if we get sao level vr

teal jackal
foggy perch
#

same

deft crow
#

I think there is a lot of value in AR glasses since you’re not taking people out of their environments but just adding content to the real world

late kestrel
serene fable
#

Pretty sure the point of the metaverse is literally to force cyberpunk fantasies into reality

deft crow
#

Plus form factors are more comfy and you don’t get motion sickness

sonic coral
gilded dust
#

Is meta the next yahoo?

dusky plover
#

the metaverse is precisely why fb isnt hiring ng this year

#

hahaha.....

teal jackal
#

always a chance for meta to find a "next big thing" that actually makes sense

#

naw fam google is over

#

idk if they even hired anyone this year

#

hired new grads

#

only people who ever got an interview or anywhere in the process have recruiter referral

#

i sadly do not

stone latch
#

how do you get that recruiter referral?

teal jackal
#

idk

deft crow
teal jackal
stone latch
#

ohh I should contact my recruiter i guess

hexed moth
#

amazon stopped hiring it seems like LOL

teal jackal
#

^

#

its so fucked this year

#

amazon is probably assessing hiring needs, like whether or not they can hire all of you to begin with

#

im pretty sure they raised the bar for intern return offers too

modern socket
#

bro i can’t get interviews anywhere rn

hexed moth
#

no i mean they put people on hold

modern socket
#

dry as fuck inbox

hexed moth
#

and nobody here is saying if they got rejected which is annoying

nova reef
#

anyone knows what scale ai ng TC looks like?

quick wraith
#

does referral matter for amazon?

hexed moth
#

no

cyan grail
#

did anyone get visa codesignal too?

quick wraith
#

applying tomorrow prayge

hexed moth
#

kaizoku u might be way too late lol

teal jackal
hexed moth
#

they told august people they're pausing interviews

#

rather they're waitlisted

quick wraith
#

will convert that kek

#

google has piss poor compensation

delicate lily
#

I honestly don't have much experience or knowledge to comment but I like to think that people in prior years also had many reasons to freak out like this at many points during the process. Hopefully we get more good news soon HideThePain

hexed moth
#

id work at G

teal jackal
#

i hope that my lack of interviews isnt a reflection of me

#

people say that "your job search results arent a reflection of you" but tbh they kinda are

hexed moth
#

id rather take a google culture than 100k or some shit

teal jackal
#

google culture?

hexed moth
#

especially when you're making like 200k at google vs 300k at cit or something

teal jackal
#

vs 100k?

hexed moth
#

yeah dawg

#

if im working 40 * 52 hrs

#

id better be in a place that keeps me sane

delicate lily
paper magnet
#

Anybody knows if we can get GHC links anywhere ?

teal jackal
#

id say getting resume rejected from dream company isnt a reflection of you
getting resume rejected everywhere becomes a reflection ofo yourself

delicate lily
#

That must be such a gigachad feeling

teal jackal
#

bro why is GHC so goated

#

"just identify as nonbinary bro"

#

grace hopper, women only tech conferences

paper magnet
#

😂😂😂

delicate lily
#

What happens if men attend

teal jackal
#

people basically pass resume screening there just by saying hi to the recruiter

sonic coral
hexed moth
#

but that's legit networking though

teal jackal
#

nah, public career fairs are useless

#

like uni career fairs

#

but the invite/application only career fairs are kinda goated

floral plank
#

^

teal jackal
#

people walk out with multiple interviews

floral plank
#

It hasn’t really helped me

hexed moth
#

i got an interview at msr because i met people from msr at a conference

delicate lily
#

Fr? Do you get secretly blacklisted or something

late kestrel
teal jackal
#

yeah, it has to be convincing

#

the only way to be convincing that youre non binary leaning woman is if you actually believe you are

hexed moth
#

yikes

delicate lily
#

lol that sounds terrible

late kestrel
#

username lines up

teal jackal
#

i dont mean it that way, its more like you cant really pretend to be something youre not

#

to join ghc

sonic coral
#

Pretty sure men can attend ghc but you don’t get any of the special treatment the women do

late kestrel
teal jackal
#

im not telling people to pretend to be transgender or nonbinary if they dont identify as such just to do GHC

#

do not misinterpret what im saying

#

i feel weird appropriating in other peoples spaces anyways, i could never

late kestrel
#

i dont think anyone is arguing with u rn lmaoo

teal jackal
sonic coral
#

Oh I’m not interpreting what you said like that, I literally saw posts from women complaining about the amount of men in ghc thinking they’ll get a free pass in interviews at the career fair

teal jackal
#

LC useless with no interviews

sonic coral
#

Like there’s tons of guys who show up to ghc just for the career fair

#

Thinking they’ll get a fast pass to interviews

delicate lily
#

Yo when do Rumble NG positions open? @teal jackal

teal jackal
floral plank
#

Lmao

teal jackal
#

why ping me of all people

delicate lily
#

you have andrew tate in your name..

teal jackal
#

tru lol, i think adrew tate is douchey and a scumbag, but my name is like "banned from everything"

vague kraken
#

should rename to top g of new grad job apps

teal jackal
#

because im not passing a single resume screening

hasty birch
teal jackal
#

ive been spamming recruiters via email recently

#

wait a week, recruiter doesnt respond, i try another one for the company

dusky ledge
#

@knotty talon was it too challenging for you? or just right?

azure zephyr
#

i shouldve signed up for grace hopper smh

cedar gulch
#

same, it was full when I tried to apply lol

teal jackal
#

i think invite-only conferences in general are pretty goated

#

as a whole

#

too bad i didnt find out about their existence until way too late

azure zephyr
#

my sister is an aws recruiter and she said theyre doing on the spot hiring at grace hopper

kind galleon
#

holly shit wtf pogg

#

on the spot hiring

#

that sounds insane

teal jackal
#

shit

#

thats insane

sonic coral
#

Not surprised cuz AWS lol

kind galleon
#

thats still cool

#

yah cause tbf

#

it's only like what, 45 min of interviewing

#
  • oa
teal jackal
#

yeah amazon process is very brief

#

Why i’ve never gotten microsoft oa

#

floral plank
#

Microsoft seems hard to get OA

teal jackal
#

#

i wish i knew how to pass MS screening

#

ive started to realize my worth

#

ive humbled

#

im probably not gonna unlock a big N position this season

#

im not gonna count on it anymore

floral plank
#

Yeah I am already prepared for that too

#

But I guess I will see

dusky plover
#

im prepared to be homeless

teal jackal
#

tbh

#

im sure that even if we graduated with nothing to look forward to in the immediate moment

#

im sure we'd have family to help us as we try to figure something out

#

im not worried about homelessness, i just want a job because i think its important to me as a personal goal

shrewd sparrow
#

I think mostly I'm afraid of "being a failure" which is mostly my self-hatred talking :')

teal jackal
#

im in a much better mood nowadays

teal jackal
#

but i guess we all fail sometimes in life

#

i guess we'll have 40 more years to make up for this

shrewd sparrow
#

plenty of time

floral plank
#

Yea

#

We are all doing pretty good at this age

shrewd sparrow
#

on the bright side I'll be graduating with no debt

#

bc tech internships paid for my last yr of school

#

which is probably better situation than most people in america

latent sun
#

FAILED MY BENCHLING PHONE 😄

I’m confused who does ziprecruiter think they are lolol

latent sun
#

Like actually

formal fable
# teal jackal people say that "your job search results arent a reflection of you" but tbh they...

It's a bit of both and people tend to oversimplify things to quickly jump to satisfy their biases. Real life is more noisy, uncertain or random. I'd say as far as job search for CS majors is concerned, in 2023, it's like 50% skill/background to get a response and the rest is connections/referrals/timing/luck. Post screening, one would hope it's a 100% skill, but I've seen personally that even strongly aligned processes through and through sometimes lead to random results. So, as it is with all random complex processes, hedge your risks with large numbers and keep working on yourself. You'll always benefit from the work, sooner or later

teal jackal
#

true

simple elk
formal fable
# teal jackal i guess we'll have 40 more years to make up for this

Naa. Don't miss the forest for the trees. You've got a few months of suffering. Even through your life's history, the longest you'd struggle this hard is usually less than a year. Most of the times you will be reaping the rewards of your labour, be it directly via work, or indirectly by some hard time experience. So... Distract yourself from the misery. Focus on video games, food, pussy, movies/TV or something. Work when you need to

#

I mean, just look at 2021 vs 2022, right? Lol

#

Night and day

#

Yeah, but the time gap vs difference is mindblowing

#

I've seen the most absurdly high offers that I tried to estimate from last year to now impending joblessness

gilded dust
#

Are non tech new grads also affected this yr?

teal jackal
#

Probabl

foggy perch
#

probs but non-tech ngs didn't have high job goals to begin with

simple elk
#

At tech companies yeah

foggy perch
#

since the variance in salaries at non-tech jobs is way lower

#

than it is in tech

simple elk
#

I think other industries are less impacted rn but that could be cap

foggy perch
#

eh i don't think they're less impacted

#

other majors are just less job focused

#

so it's not some doomer relevation when the top 1% of jobs are hiring less

sonic coral
#

I mean finding a job post college for non tech grads was always a massive process too

foggy perch
#

agreed

sonic coral
#

The only thing is for us we start pre grad

#

They start after grad

foggy perch
#

but there's not as much of an emphasis in making it in these x companies

marble bronze
foggy perch
#

more like other majors just want a job

sonic coral
jaunty basalt

Yeah people in non tech are proud they even applied before graduation

Doesn’t matter too much where

dont you just love it when youre like 98% through an application and it just doesnt want to submit for whatever reason. so you just go "they dont deserve me anyways" and exit the page

why do you expect us to do this shit

such bs

dusky plover

every1 would be drowning in offers last year

ivory stratus

they expect us to bend over backwards just to possibly get a job

ivory stratus
#

im just hoping for something at this point

#

ill just reapply for ng next year

dusky plover
#

idt u can man

#

if u graduate this year

ivory stratus
#

you can in some companies

dusky plover
#

then u wont qualify for ng next year

ivory stratus
#

as long as you graduated within the past year

late kestrel
#

some places just ask for less than 2 years exp

dusky plover
#

orly lol

ivory stratus
#

like for microsoft and a few other bigN it's just recent grad too

#

within the past year i think

#

otherwise you apply for SWE/SDE 1

dusky plover
#

eh we'll see if the market rebounds lol, i just dont think i have it in me to grind as hard as i did this summer again next year lol

#

id rather get it over with and chill for 1-2 years

Believe in ipo and retire

ivory stratus
#

not really lol

#

for most companies

#

but like

#

google, zon, apple, microsoft, meta, etc usually have a much more streamlined process

#

many others too

late kestrel
#

google having a streamlined process...?

#

they have anything but

split plaza
#

above average comp => more extensive process

late kestrel
#

plus the mess after hm

Hi,

Unfortunately I have just received a job offer from another company that I will be taking. I apologize for the update on such short notice but I just received word today. I'd like to thank everyone I have met so far on the ${company.name} team for making this recruiting process as smooth as possible, and once again I am sorry for the inconvenience. I hope that we can work together in the future.

Regards,
Soulkks

# hasty birch OA2? OA1 doesn't mean jack

Pretty sure I got that one down. I double checked with my recruiter about the format of my final round. She said:

Thanks for checking in. The OA results were reviewed and the application has moved to the interview queue which prompted my outreach for the interview prep materials 😊
 
The interview team will be your next point of contact and provide many more details surrounding the interview. It should be one interview spanning both technical and behavior-based questions. The prep materials sent below will provide a really nice overview of the interview experience.

In my previous internships I've worked on more internal and IT-related projects as opposed to consumer and application-facing code. I've always wanted to get more involved with the consumer side of things, and I think DoorDash is perfect for that. Learning more about and applying my AWS skills is also personal goal of mine that excites me about the opportunity to work at DoorDash. I also really like the DoorDash product itself, and use it on a pretty frequent basis!

In fact

#

As a Software Engineer, I'm on a personal mission to deliver some of the most impactful pieces of software in the future! I've always wanted to build something not just innovative but also transformative. Having our capacity to create something be inhibited by the tools that we utilize is such a shame and to see [INSERT COMPANY] revolutionize the [INSERT NICHE] industry has truly inspired and resonated with my core beliefs in creating technical solutions for a more efficient and better society. Through [INSERT COMPANY] and it's amazing collection of engineers, best practices and opportunities for growth, I'm sure that I'd be able to both grow as a developer as well as churn out products with real-world impact!
