[marble bronze]

Yeah, hella experience

[west pagoda]

Yee TN for Canadian under NAFTA

Goldman OA actually only OA I got so far lol, havent applied to HFT rlly

[marble bronze]

What other firms? Any non tech boomer places?

[west pagoda]

I say yes, bc they do technically need to sponsor TN visa, even tho it's easier than like H1-B ive heard

[marble bronze]

In that case yeah the US is fucked for visa holders this year

Spawn point diff

[foggy perch]

9/9 interview been amazon waitlisted now F

[night magnet]

Like what?

[foggy perch]

sounds about right

there's also roblox

nice

pltr isn't auto at least

[marble bronze]

A lot of processes seem to be insane this year

Like 3-4 x60 at LEAST

[keen ocean]

Figma already sent out all new grad offers??

[lament summit]

idts

there havent been any offers out

[upbeat quartz]

Stripe will open new-grad role in December is that true?

[keen ocean]

i just started feeling like im super behind with recruiting

[loud olive]

No lol all the interns that didn’t get return offers are on a waitlist, they will be considered before anything else

Highly doubt they will hire external new grads this year

[azure zephyr]

wow

[tired hollow]

Has anyone gone through Forward's process or know about their comp? I just got an invitation for phone interview from them, but I'm not sure if it is worth it to go through the process when I already have 3 offers that are very competitive

[loud olive]

Apparently it’s like 120kish TC and super toxic culture

Someone mentioned it in this channel before

[tired hollow]

Damn that's rough

[marble bronze]

That's insane

[tired hollow]

Thanks for letting me know, I'll just ghost the recruiter then lol

[loud olive]

Search forward in this channel u will probs find it

[azure zephyr]

absolutely do not go forward with them theyre terrible lol

[loud olive]

Email recruiter and say u won’t be moving forward with them

[tired hollow]

True, I'll do that

[marble bronze]

Instead, found a company called Backward

[small mountain]

3 offers already??? damn save some for the rest of us sorry fucks🫠

[tired hollow]

Yeah I'm super grateful to have the offers, I would share if I could ❤️

[loud olive]

Which 3 u got?

[small mountain]

what are they?

[loud olive]

Wait how is the Neeva TC if u don’t mind sharing

I was always curious about that company, that’s the search engine one right?

[tired hollow]

Yep search engine one

Initial offer TC is about 200k including stock options (paper money) and sign-on bonus

Yea

[loud olive]

Woah lmao

[azure zephyr]

280k wow

[small mountain]

god damn

[loud olive]

80K plus negotiation is insane

[tired hollow]

100k 😢

So it's only 180k cash

[azure zephyr]

def dont need to spend time talking to forward (or rly any other companies atp lol)

only 180k 😭

[small mountain]

only

[azure zephyr]

how does stock = paper money tho

[sour night]

Is it possible to negotiate if the company u want is already offering more than other competing offers?

[tired hollow]

They're private

Ye

exactly

[small mountain]

yeah i think its super bold they've decided to make a search engine of all things

one of the biggest monopolies in tech

[tired hollow]

Yeah, probably tough to go public anytime soon, so I'm fully expecting the paper money to be worthless in the end

[azure zephyr]

so the offer is moreso 180k then, not 280k?

[small mountain]

inb4 google acquire them for billions

[tired hollow]

Yep, would be fair to categorize it like that

[small mountain]

[tired hollow]

LMAO

I can only hope

[static moth]

@chilly burrow can tell u all about forward

[chilly burrow]

Toxic af

[lament summit]

damn

i shouldve done that neeva oa

LOL

[lament summit]

whats so toxic about the process?

[night magnet]

frrrrr

[tired hollow]

Wait, wtf is this turnaround on Palantir's onsite interviews???

I literally finished my interviews 45 minutes ago, and I just got an email saying I moved on to the next round

[lament summit]

wowow

[chilly burrow]

Hey y'all. I recently interviewed with Forward (made it all the way to hiring manager round before reject) and just wanted ppl to know that it is toxic af. Probably the worst experience I've had interviewing. I would steer clear unless you really wanna work there/need a job.

• money is just a formality
• they said "the culture is painful"
• asked me what swe work I'll be doing at 70
• was annoyed that I was interviewing at other companies

[lament summit]

u mustve aced

[chilly burrow]

@tired hollow @lament summit

[tired hollow]

Palo Alto

[jaunty basalt]

Forward is very forward

[tired hollow]

Oh when did you do your onsite?

[hasty birch]

This reads like satire lmao. Crazy if true

[lament summit]

oh gawd

[tired hollow]

Oh nice, hopefully you make it!

[lament summit]

i have a final with head of R&D soon

r u talking to me or lux

[empty thorn]

@tired hollowhow much system design would one have to know for the onsite?

[chilly burrow]

@azure zephyr can attest

[lament summit]

damn

did u speak to head of r&d

[chilly burrow]

Ya

I made it all the way to hm round

[tired hollow]

Not sure, haven't gotten the schedule link yet

[azure zephyr]

yup its true

[chilly burrow]

It felt like an interrogation

[lament summit]

o boi

yeah i made it to hm round as well

but ive had a really positive exp thus far

[tired hollow]

I don't think you need to know too much, it was very very high level/abstract systems design

[tired hollow]

Nice! Congrats and gl

[keen ocean]

has anyone heard back from netflix after submitting the airtable form?

[lament summit]

for forward not palantir

lol

[tired hollow]

Oh 🫢 , still congrats tho!

[lament summit]

but i did make it to hm round for pltr and got rejected lmfao

LOL

[tired hollow]

Oof

[solemn crag]

Did Microsoft just close their NG app😭

[hexed moth]

xd

[winter thistle]

looks like it

sad

[split plaza]

Damn what happened

[whole berry]

i mentioned some odd days back that someone who had a similar experience with forward to have their comment highlighted so in "general" of this discord ppl could see

i think this is another warning sign to people in here interviewing with them

no matter how desperate

mcdonalds is a better work culture

come join me

the fries dont salt themselves

[chilly burrow]

Dat was me

Pretty sure

But I've spoken wit 2 oters who also had shitty experiences

[surreal shuttle]

yeah

i remember that

[whole berry]

if you can, i think you should make a reddit post

so people interviewing get to see that post when they look up that company

[crystal delta]

what was pinterest comp last year?

was it same for SF/Seattle ?

[chilly burrow]

Mayb 🤔

[whole berry]

you should

[chilly burrow]

Mayb 🤔

[frank wedge]

[simple maple]

[lament summit]

No idea I thought I aced then got reject

[stark portal]

Did anyone interview with ADP?

[lament summit]

Few days

[fringe egret]

How hard is the Palantir graph dependency OA?

[distant rampart]

Anyone had interview with hive ai?

[brittle marten]

dude bloomberg still ghosts me after 2 days

they said i will hear back within 48 hours

[waxen bolt]

How long did people have to wait to hear back from Netflix after first tech?

[loud olive]

Ye u can DM

[split plaza]

not too bad imo

[shrewd sparrow]

did phone on 9/14, got next interview request on 9/19

[whole berry]

yo

for code signal

i have 2 assessments

but i wanna take first one to see what my score will be

and based on that i wanna send them my results

but its showing that i have to share to everybody

bruh its 1 test every 14 days

thats weird

[chilly burrow]

Any companies that give swag or food for reaching final?

Other than quant/hft/trading firms

[whole berry]

wait you get food for reaching final with those companies?

[chilly burrow]

I got $50usd from a startup

In doordash

[chilly burrow]

I think Optiver sends u swag and coffee or smth

[whole berry]

any of these companies giving out head for final ?

[lilac siren]

I heard that several years ago HRT would give apple watch

[urban gulch]

[late kestrel]

[chilly burrow]

but if its us they prob wont hire canadians

[late kestrel]

i was just answering your question 🥹 🥹 🥹 🥹😭 😭 😭 😭

[sonic coral]

evil company who makes millions off absolutely bonkers private student loan interest rates

[chilly burrow]

oh dam

[sonic coral]

Yeah they basically give loans to kids/parents who can’t go anywhere else for like 15% interest

[late kestrel]

lol nah thats sallie mae silly

you goofy goober

[sonic coral]

Oh lol

I meannnn it’s off by two letters bro

[jaunty basalt]

Fannie is housing

[marble bronze]

Really? In person?

[late kestrel]

fannie mae is an evil company who makes millions off absolutely bonkers mortgage interest rates

[marble bronze]

Just finished 1st round with Fannie Mae

[late kestrel]

jk jk theyre not that bad

[jaunty basalt]

They probably do the same shiet though

[ivory stratus]

anybody know how to figure out how many files couldnt be open using du on linux 👀

[marble bronze]

Honestly Fannie Mae is a solid company to work for going into a recession

Yall keep your houses safe tho

[late kestrel]

yeah same idk thats what the interviewer told me, that its a possibility

[marble bronze]

I see. Interesting.

[late kestrel]

u do at&t final?

[marble bronze]

Yeah

[late kestrel]

oic nice. just got recruiter phone scheduled 🥺

[marble bronze]

Hiring manager said "they would recommend I get the offer" at the end of the interview

Super transparent, god bless her soul

[azure zephyr]

anybody heard from expedia after oa?

[sonic coral]

https://caliverbeach.com/mortgages/fannie-mae-sallie-mae-freddie-mac-people/

Here’s an article I guess

[floral plank]

Recruiter called me because they said I applied to one position with wrong grad date

And then they changed it

[marble bronze]

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac I've applied for, though the Mac I haven't heard back from

And they don't sponsor relocation which is a bit weirdchamp

[sonic coral]

Prob because gov agencies

[late kestrel]

yeah the two Fs are just gov sponsored mortgage companies. lots of red tape

[azure zephyr]

i honestly have no idea how i did on OA i got a LC hard lol but its been over a week and nothing

[marble bronze]

Fannie Mae didn't say anything about that, maybe though

[late kestrel]

they give u a cheap loan and 10k to buy a house lol

idk if thats useful for us

[peak ferry]

what's normal relo comp? offer I accepted gave me 5k gross which is like not enough to pay fees + deposit + moving + furniture smh

[azure zephyr]

ive heard anywhere from 0-15k

[marble bronze]

^

[peak ferry]

it's also paid out 30/90 days after start which seems very silly if you need the money to do the relo

I mean I have savings so it's ok

but lame

[late kestrel]

i feel like 5k shouuuuld be right what you need as a new grad

but yeah thats dumb

pay in advance

tbh idk what moving costs are these days if you have to hire a company

[peak ferry]

oh yea it's like fine, and I'm getting paid enough it's not a huge concern, I just find it odd

[late kestrel]

i dont think ill need a company

[peak ferry]

too damn much, most of my relo costs are buying furniture locally because: 1 I don't have furniture 2 it would almost definitely cost more to move

[azure zephyr]

relocation after start is so ridiculous lmao how are they expecting fresh college grads to pay for moving

[late kestrel]

thats a good point. oh man i dont have the slightest clues ab bed frames !!

[peak ferry]

also it's 5k gross not net of taxes so maybe I have 3k net to spend which is like deposit + fees minimal lol

[peak ferry]

bed frames actually p cheap, mattresses more

a sofa is my biggest line item furniture expense, like a grand lmao

[azure zephyr]

youre moving to chicago pretty soon tho right? like in a few months?

[peak ferry]

in <4wk if everything is going to plan

[compact obsidian]

bb recruiter called me and w/ msft offer, bb offer was around 200k so imma go with msft

hopefully they give u more

[azure zephyr]

check out living spaces, esp their like slightly used options

[compact obsidian]

i think it was bc i sent them my msft offer letter to they tried to just barely beat it

[late kestrel]

not worried ab the cost... more like... do i need a head board...? what kind? what kind of frame? springs? wtf !?!?

[vast rock]

anyone applied to Bamfunds quant research position?

[peak ferry]

o those are mostly preference things

I like a headboard

[late kestrel]

but yeah thats what im sayin idk what i want D:

[worthy sapphire]

What do they ask in an interview with entry level recruiter? And an engineering manager?

[ivory stratus]

return offer for msft?

[compact obsidian]

[vast rock]

[compact obsidian]

[late kestrel]

[compact obsidian]

[vast rock]

i got a lot of those during my intern interview

[eternal hatch]

Where did the 50/50 guy go?

I miss him

[gray niche]

My recruiter told me 50/50 got multiple offers and forgot about us

[runic wind]

170/70 for l60 would be unheard of

[latent sun]

Have yall noticed that inboxes get wet on Mondays/Weds/Fridays?

Super dead today

[floral plank]

Nah mine was dry yesterday

[eternal hatch]

Wow, good for him

[floral plank]

Today it is wet

[eternal hatch]

Guys, does Bloomberg pay more than Amazon?

NG

Okay, ty

[compact obsidian]

well in terms of raw TC yeah but adjusted for CoL no

[runic wind]

It's p close tho

And Bloomberg is all cash?

[zinc steeple]

finance never pays more than tech except quant

[peak ferry]

idk how much zon pays in nyc but bay I think they pay marginally more

[eternal hatch]

Zon NYC offer is like 201k

[gray niche]

I cancelled my bloomberg VO today because of the rounds after the VO and my recruiter called me saying she would let me skip the EM round if I went through with the process 😭

[peak ferry]

huh gotcha

[runic wind]

I know a few hedge funds that pay atleast 250+

[gray niche]

There are so many people applying I don't understand why she said that

[zinc steeple]

quant hedge funds same thing

[eternal hatch]

BB TC is around $180k?

[zinc steeple]

fiancé is like goldman jp morgan capital one etc

[slim agate]

Doesn’t BB negotiate if you have competing offers?

[gray niche]

i think if you have zon offer bb nego

[eternal hatch]

🐐

[slim agate]

So then why did you cancel your VO?

Might’ve helped for nego

[gray niche]

I'm starting my linkedin internship next week, it was either i took netflix final or bloomberg final because i wont have time later

doing netflix

[runic wind]

N will beat BB

[slim agate]

Gotcha

gl

[gray niche]

thanks, need to learn system design in the next 15 hours or im toast

[uncut umbra]

what does ziprecruiter want for gca

[gray niche]

851

[uncut umbra]

considering sending in my 780 but not sure if worth

lmao

end me

yeah it's a meme

850 is a myth

[gray niche]

no netflix

[uncut umbra]

I've heard 13 minute codesignals get 849

[small mountain]

cracked

[compact obsidian]

had a friend get 849 with 23 min

[small mountain]

crackeder

[gray niche]

I just did my roblox final behavioral interview and my interviewer asked me, "if you had the exact same offer same pay from roblox and google what would you take"

that question tripped tf out of me

[small mountain]

that would checkmate me ngl

[gray niche]

LMAOO

[runic wind]

Dumb question tbh
Team? Location? Promo path? Manager?

[floral plank]

Who asks that lol

[gray niche]

no

[foggy perch]

you still haven't heard from roblox on your final yet?

f

[compact obsidian]

roblox bc growth bc new company and google has lot of internal tooling which isn't good for long term growth

[foggy perch]

just finished my roblox final this week

[ornate cliff]

LOL what a curveball

ez answer tho

[livid yew]

only 2hrs

[foggy perch]

you too

how do you think you did on technical

I got both answers

but had minor bugs

that I had to debug w/ interviewer

[gray niche]

I said something about how the culture would matter a lot more and being around people who maybe share a slight interest in games blah blah

[foggy perch]

ye

I did followups for both

my first tech followup was easy

my second one was more in-depth

mine was more of them like yo here's an edge case that breaks it

and me being like ah ye

and fixing it fast

[runic wind]

I messed up radix sort today

[gray niche]

who made you code radix sort

[vestal pelican]

bruh this recruiter from IMC yesterday told me to send her some time slots for an interview but still hasn't replied to my email

[runic wind]

This random start up
Pretty lit startup tho

[foggy perch]

I think I aced behaviorals for roblox though

so I'll see if it matters that I had tiny hiccups for one of the technicals

[gray niche]

I did too and they still made me do an extra behavioral

[foggy perch]

you already got offer though right

[small mountain]

if someone makes me implement a sort im straight up gonna tell them best i got is bogosort take it or leave it

[gray niche]

and the extra behavioral apart from that google question all he did was ask if I had side projects

[foggy perch]

actually I think I might be in your scenario lmao

I think I aced it with 3/4 of my interviewers

then my 4th wasn't an interviewer that hated me

was just less smooth of an interview

[gray niche]

no I don't have offer from roblox yet but considering this is the 3/3 interviewer that said he would recommended me hopefully I do soon

[foggy perch]

3/3 interviewer?

[gray niche]

both my behavioral interviewers + this extra interviewer

[foggy perch]

ah

your behavioral people directly said they'd recommend you?

[gray niche]

all verbally said they would recommended me

[foggy perch]

wack

[gray niche]

how long ago did you do your interview?

[foggy perch]

last few days this week

told them I had some competing deadline so hopefully i'll hear back next week

positive news?

as in scheduled call

?

o

[gray niche]

You just got that email to schedule a call?

o

[foggy perch]

guess it could be any news

since roblox asks to call for positive news, followup interview, or negative news

lmao

yolo i guess

[gray niche]

see you in process 🫡

new name will be roblox offer 9/22

[foggy perch]

i'm hoping the fact I was referred boosts my interview rating slightly

[slim marsh]

I don’t understand people who keep interviewing after they have an offer

[foggy perch]

more money

[slim marsh]

I would literally be the happiest with one offer

[ivory stratus]

same

[foggy perch]

you can always be happier

[crude saffron]

Interviews r fun

[slim marsh]

Yes I’m happy rn but there’s always this job thing at the back if my head

[slim marsh]

[foggy perch]

average job offer lifecycle

[crude saffron]

(I don’t do tech interviews)

[slim marsh]

Oh okay then understandable

[gray niche]

At a certain point I will stop, I think if netflix was the first company I got an offer from I wouldn't continue interviewing

[foggy perch]

you do harder ones smh

quant

right

[crude saffron]

Yea

I can’t code

[gray niche]

coding is a state of mind 🧠

[slim marsh]

But just having to prepare for that one point of time, it’s like exams

[ivory stratus]

im waiting on a company that pays absolute peanuts and then im interviewing at msft and thats all i got going for me

[foggy perch]

i've just stopped prepping for interviews

I just schedule and do them

[gray niche]

^

the last interview i prepped for was linkedin back in july

[slim marsh]

I want to be you

[gray niche]

i have been freeballing interviews

[slim marsh]

And you

[gray niche]

except for netflix im not going to schleep

[dusty basin]

I thought msft was the company that pays peanuts

[foggy perch]

If I get Roblox I'm retiring from the interview season

else I'll try and grind a bit more

[ivory stratus]

ill take msft peanuts vs $60k peanuts

[compact obsidian]

there are few companies paying better than roblox tho lol

[foggy perch]

exactly

that's why I'm retiring if I get Roblox

[slim marsh]

Happy retirement

[crude saffron]

Does roblox have clout on resume?

[gray niche]

eh

[foggy perch]

I'd say yes

[gray niche]

idk how good roblox's exit opportunities are

[crude saffron]

Does roblox or amzn look better? Meta?

[foggy perch]

I think Roblox >= Meta > Amzn

that's my biased take though

[compact obsidian]

imo big n better name

but like

250k TC

so

[crude saffron]

What is big N

[foggy perch]

meh I think Roblox is decently recognizable on the level of Unicorn companies

[crude saffron]

Isn’t duolingo p good in the unicorn space?

[foggy perch]

yes

duolingo hires barely anyone though

[compact obsidian]

faang + msft, stripe, uber, lyft, etc

[crude saffron]

Is Bloomberg part of that group?

[ivory stratus]

BROOOOO LETS GO

[crude saffron]

Also are Waymo and cruise still good?

[ivory stratus]

BROOOO CONGRATS

[open breach]

yo any good event comin up like colorstack or sum

[foggy perch]

dang nice @rain patio !!

[lament summit]

Either decomp, learnin or LC hard

[foggy perch]

praying for your same luck

I'm shocked you got your results faster than @gray niche

lmao

[last belfry]

They known to ask you the round which you did worst in so can be either decomp, tps, or learning

[foggy perch]

I'll just assume nate is popping off irl over roblox offer rn

oh there he is

[ivory stratus]

What did you do to prep?

[gray niche]

lol

[foggy perch]

lmaooo

I was gonna say

^

[gray niche]

yeah if I get roblox i'm going to withdraw amzn

[foggy perch]

same

[gray niche]

then if i get netflix im going to withdraw roblox

[foggy perch]

well actually i might leave amazon in the 1% chance I get rescinded

[gray niche]

if i get rescinded i prayge for linkedin return offer

[foggy perch]

i thought linkedin wasn't even giving return offers this season or something

[gray niche]

they are

[ivory stratus]

Considering msft closed ng I wouldn’t be surprised

[gray niche]

they R

[foggy perch]

if I get a roblox offer next week I'm creating a shrine in my apartment

dedicated to roblox

[gray niche]

you don't know if you get a return offer until like 1-2 months after internship ends though so

[foggy perch]

wow that's so long

[gray niche]

yeah and considering it's a fall internship knowing if you get an offer in like feb/march is way too late

[foggy perch]

yeahhhh

[wet coral]

@foggy perch how was your vo for roblox?

[foggy perch]

I thought it went well

I feel like I vibed well w/ my 2 behavioral interviewers

vibed well with my first technical itnerviewer

[wet coral]

goftchu

[foggy perch]

and my second one was idk

felt neutral to me

[wet coral]

both of mine felt nuetral 😬

[foggy perch]

you think you vibed super well / aced with all 4 / 4 interviewers? @rain patio

just curious what vibe you ended your interviews with that lead to an offer

[wet coral]

a couple of my interviewers were late, and one had wifi issues so

[foggy perch]

that's rip

[wet coral]

😬 hoping for some slack if there were any concerns haha

[foggy perch]

ok

I need to channel your positive energy

and believe in that offer next week then

nice

I chatted about video games a bit in one of mine

actually probs 2 lmao

[wet coral]

thats pretty good vibes

[foggy perch]

i'd say I liked my interviewers

my take on the vibes of people who work at companies based off interviewers I've had is Roblox > Google >= Amazon > Apple

[wet coral]

my interviewers were aight, aside from the thank you for answering, they didnt really have too much to say

[foggy perch]

mainly because I had such garbage Google interviewers in the past

who were practically in an air tunnel for interviews

[wet coral]

roblox > google?

[foggy perch]

that's my take

[wet coral]

for interviewing only?

[foggy perch]

I liked my roblox interviewers

[wet coral]

oh

[foggy perch]

felt like real people with hobbies

[wet coral]

i thought you meant as a company lmao

[foggy perch]

nah

I'm just saying the vibes I've gotten from interviewers

at diff companies

[wet coral]

gotcha

[gray niche]

@foggy perch how many robots did you build in cognitive do you remember lol

[foggy perch]

like 2-3 each round

[wet coral]

idk my interviewers just kinda felt like standard interviewers, didnt feel as much passion as what I normally hear from roblox interviewers

[foggy perch]

rip

[wet coral]

i'll just believe that it went well and that I will get the offer next week

[foggy perch]

I have such low motivation to do a pinterest phone tomorrow

same

[wet coral]

🤝 hope it goes well for us

[gray niche]

yeah i didn't schedule my pin phone or do my atlassian hackerrank

sorta getting gassed

[foggy perch]

I just scheduled my pin since I was like shit

if I don't schedule it tomorrow

next opening is like 2 weeks from now

since my recruiter is going on vacation or smthing

if I probably don't fail pinterest i'm scheduling my pin tech in a few weeks from now

so I can withdraw if I get roblox

actually tbh I might be burnt out from interviews if I get a roblox rejection

and will just accept bloomberg

[gray niche]

"just bloomberg" is still really good though

[foggy perch]

idk

for me bloomberg just feels so underwhelming

because I got it so quick and early

like it was literally the first place I applied to

and I blazed through the interviews

after like my first week of prep

[wet coral]

dang

[foggy perch]

then I just had radio silence from there

because I was lazy to apply to more places

[teal jackal]

I reapplied to Bloomberg with an alt email

[wet coral]

i got rejected first round bb even though i thought it went well lol

[foggy perch]

until I luckily got through roblox oa screen

rip

[thorn walrus]

did you do the campus interview?

[teal jackal]

I really need an 840 codesignal fucc

[foggy perch]

tf is a campus interview

[gray niche]

I applied to bloom on july 25th and my VO was scheduled tomorrow that process is way too long and drawn out

[thorn walrus]

bloomberg comes onto the school campus to do in-person interviews

expedited process

[foggy perch]

yeah the time between passing bloomberg technical phone to onsite os long

eww

in-person bloomberg interview sounds awful

do you just like

[thorn walrus]

wait it's not that bad lol

[foggy perch]

type in front of the interviewer?

[thorn walrus]

whiteboard

or type

[foggy perch]

ew whiteboard

i'm too young for whiteboarding

[wet coral]

yes

[thorn walrus]

this week?

[wet coral]

yep

monday

[thorn walrus]

i think we go to the same school LOL

hold up

[normal palm]

Whats the tc

[wet coral]

aint no way lol

[foggy perch]

approx 180 recurring

can probs nego to 200 recurring with competing

I got unlucky and got waitlisted with amazon so no competing sadly

[normal palm]

Ah ok

Pretty good

[foggy perch]

I think base of bb is always 155k rn for initial

but bonus is dependent on interview performance

[normal palm]

Nyc?

[foggy perch]

si

people who choose princeton bloomberg are weirdos

[normal palm]

Nice

[thorn walrus]

?

[novel wing]

lowkey this might have been the job app for returning intern to new grad conversions lol

[foggy perch]

princeton just sounds so much more boring than nyc

unless you have friends/family there

[thorn walrus]

it's really close to ny

[foggy perch]

ehhh

[thorn walrus]

and a lot cheaper rent

[foggy perch]

I don't count multi hour drives as close

[thorn walrus]

ok maybe not really close

[crude saffron]

Are high schools able to intern at big N?

[thorn walrus]

i know a high schooler who interned at optiver lol

[crude saffron]

Swe or trader

[thorn walrus]

trader

[crude saffron]

Interesting

[foggy perch]

hopefully you did bb lc tagged

[wet coral]

built different, thats insane

[foggy perch]

probably still rejected by harvard for not having a non profit

[ivory stratus]

Dang you make me feel better about doing blind 75 in a month

[foggy perch]

instant reject

[gray niche]

[novel wing]

failed OA

LMFAOOOO

whatever

[novel wing]

did blind75 in 1 week

[wicked rivet]

same here

1:30 pm

[lilac siren]

bro check ur bloomberg portal

if there is no appointment

the interviewer may ghost

many people got ghosted this week

[valid wing]

time to buy Linkedin premium

[lilac siren]

[teal jackal]

Honestly I'm tired of this economy bro

[valid wing]

it seems like they want to take their returning interns first

the deadlines for those are october 10th

[foggy perch]

I genuinely do wonder what people in a few months from now are going to do when Bloomberg, Amazon, and C1 stop hiring lmao

[valid wing]

whats bbg?

[teal jackal]

1x faang and not enough

[valid wing]

if you had amazon vs bloomberg what would you choose?

[foggy perch]

I'd choose bb because I like having a life

also the money diff isn't that big

[gray niche]

I have linkedin premium lol all interns get [in] premium

[foggy perch]

I'd choose amazon over bb if I knew I had a good amazon team

[gray niche]

recruiters can still choose to hide their name in privacy

[foggy perch]

so basically return amazon interns choosing amazon makes sense

[teal jackal]

Bro it feels like 4000 people are fighting for 100 seats

It's so bad

[valid wing]

I mean

All the FB interns

are looking for jobs

thats a huge chunk of people

[shrewd sparrow]

also most stripe interns :')

p much all snap interns

[brittle marten]

unironically

[valid wing]

They increased their payscale this year lol

[crude saffron]

It was 1/13 for options

[valid wing]

cause too much talent was going awway

[brittle marten]

im literally interviewing at Citadel, HRT, and bl00mb3rG lmfao

like

[foggy perch]

it'll be so funny to see people with way better internships than me at bb

[brittle marten]

what the fuck

[wicked rivet]

fr bloomberg is getting some pretty insane talent

[brittle marten]

and BofA too

not yet lol

soon

i will hit them up

if BB rejects me

huge pipeline

BB about the scoop all possible talents

[teal jackal]

Capital one is gonna have a lot of faang gang

[brittle marten]

dude we single handedly will raise the bar for the whole fucking class next year by miles

jesu

jesus

[crude saffron]

Nuro is good?

[teal jackal]

To be honest recession is a miracle for midtier companies

[foggy perch]

https://tenor.com/view/kaboom-boom-nuke-nuclear-bomb-gif-20734003

[latent sun]

[lament summit]

inmail worked for retool and watershed?

[latent sun]

Hi Clarence!  

I've been following Retool for over a year now and I have been in love with the company's mission and product. I wanted to get in touch with the team to showcase my experience which has been extensively focused in internal tooling for developers and non-technical users.  I've attached my resume and would love to have a moment to chat with you!  Best,

Yeah

[lament summit]

not email

right

[teal jackal]

Man I'm so sad that the tech gravy train is over

It's so hard to find something now

[latent sun]

Combo of both

I've been trying to get retool to interview me

but been getting ghosted for 4 weeks

until I got lucky with one of the recruiters that actually read my message

[normal palm]

what's retool's tc?

[latent sun]

no idea

but prob not that high rn?

we'll see

with more people getting it

[lament summit]

ima spam some linkedin inmail rn

i just reached out to retool xd

[lament summit]

[solemn tinsel]

I had two calls with my retool recruiter and then she ghosted me lol

[river scroll]

How many questions do you need to do to go through palantir Karat

[lament summit]

2.5

[jaunty basalt]

What org did you get for msft

That matters a lot

A friend told me the org I got into for msft froze this year

[compact obsidian]

o

rip

im in ahsi

[jaunty basalt]

So it’s definitely not mine

What is that

Azure something something?

[compact obsidian]

hardware something something yeah

[jaunty basalt]

Xbox froze too

I see

[compact obsidian]

ye most non-azure is frozen

[jaunty basalt]

I would’ve had to move if I took them

So I stayed in nyc

If you like the org give that more weight cuz for me I wanted Xbox cuz jokes

[compact obsidian]

it's fine

boss n team are nice

work is whatever

all roads lead to front end dev

[jaunty basalt]

Is that how it works?

[compact obsidian]

ye

[jaunty basalt]

How much C# they making u use

[compact obsidian]

i was hyped to see i got a azure team when i got the intern offer

and then found out i was doing web dev

:omegalul:

[jaunty basalt]

Oh wait

U interned

[compact obsidian]

ye

return offer

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah I did ng

[marble bronze]

pog

[jaunty basalt]

Hmmm

Wait so u just go back

Or do you get to choose

Or opt in to look around

[compact obsidian]

uh there is a team switch process but it's a pain

[jaunty basalt]

[compact obsidian]

u need to find a manager/team yourself

and then interview with them

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah

Makes sense

[compact obsidian]

and then get approval from your current manager

[jaunty basalt]

Hassle

Not guaranteed

[compact obsidian]

and also it has to be for your offer location only

[jaunty basalt]

Oh damn

[compact obsidian]

i got some friends in msft atlanta that are working on some cool stuff

[jaunty basalt]

Atlanta

[compact obsidian]

[river scroll]

I did 1.5 rip. Gotta redo ig

[azure zephyr]

[ivory stratus]

[lament summit]

W

[ivory stratus]

major W boiz

still got 3.5 weeks before interview and major confidence boost

[foggy perch]

[ivory stratus]

[foggy perch]

I didn't know msft was even recruiting ng this year

[ivory stratus]

being a veteran helps lol

only way i got an OA probs

[foggy perch]

huh nice

[ivory stratus]

im praying to the rng gods

[azure zephyr]

just checked my microsoft portal and it says moved to interview ?!?!?

my recruiter said it would take 2-3 weeks to hear back wtf

[ivory stratus]

HEEEEEECK YEAH DUDE

[azure zephyr]

yessss omg!!! looks like we're in this together

[teal jackal]

One Amazon internship is enough for 2023 summer intern, but not good enough for 2023 new grad

I think I'm going to ask my advisor about taking a master's and I do summer 23 internship

not sure whats better

Roll of the dice on summer 23 internships and defer graduation, or settling on whatever job i can scrape together for new grad and fixate on job hop in a year

[ivory stratus]

That’s my goal if I don’t get 100k+ tc starting out

[teal jackal]

my bar for TC expectations keeps coming down every week

my bar after getting rejected from amazon return offer was 150k tc
after getting resume rejected in a massive wave, it dropped to 120k
after another week, it dropped to 110k
i wonder when it's gonna touch sub-100

[river scroll]

When did you apply

[teal jackal]

tbh ive come to earth with reality for new grad
i dont think i really deserve that good of a job
i couldnt even hold amazon lmao

[ivory stratus]

noy your fault though

this recession is booty

[teal jackal]

and also the recession

of all the people who could get interviews, i understand why nobody would pick me

i know who i am

[azure zephyr]

aug 4th -> contacted sept 15th -> did OA yesterday -> portal update today

[faint igloo]

im similar situation, amazon internship is the best thing on my resume currently

[ivory stratus]

bro you guys got this

[teal jackal]

ex-zoners who couldnt get a return offer suffering together

[faint igloo]

i got a return offer tho but its canada

[teal jackal]

ah

[indigo raft]

nooo keep your head up champ 👑

[faint igloo]

i will say that i have 100+ apps currently for ng tho

[teal jackal]

tbh im too stressed out with my current life

i might move back to the EU where i was born and coast there

and relax

[faint igloo]

been trying to move to states for so long and its feeling kinda sad that i still cant do it

[teal jackal]

i was born in milan but i havent been there since i was an infant

i kinda wanna visit

[river scroll]

I thought I was the only one lol

[exotic lintel]

i like sushi

toxic ? sure

[teal jackal]

tbh tough economy

we really thought that amazon on resume was good enough

SIKE
