we thought!

exotic lintel
#

so u have Amaon internship and couldn't find a job ?

faint igloo
#

honestly

teal jackal
#

my inbox dry af

faint igloo
#

i sometimes wonder if amazon helps that much since so many ppl have it

teal jackal
exotic lintel
teal jackal
#

i think that the idea that amazon on resume would carry resume screening, is slowly dying as a myth

#

amazon's resume value allegedly works on companies that are a tier below

#

even for amazon-tier, its iffy now

primal pike
teal jackal
#

i kinda wanna live a mediocre life in italy
i have the passport and citizenship to do it
no pressure to try in life

faint igloo
#

tbf tho what type on response rate were u hoping to get with 57 apps tho

teal jackal
#

at least 3 interviews

#

or even 2

#

1 is too barren

faint igloo
#

cuz i basically have the same ratio as u

#

like 100 => 2

#

lol

fading cove
#

did you get online coding challenges?

faint igloo
fading cove
#

would be productive to identify whether the application -> interview rate is because of the resume screening or the coding challenge

faint igloo
#

id say majority of coding challenges ive gotten are from places that auto oa

#

like didnt raelly get roblox oa or anything

teal jackal
#

as a country america sucks to be mediocre in
perfect country to hustle
bad country to be mediocre
very sink or swim

rain patio
#

U gotta be top 1%

#

Like me

night magnet
#

I’m at 240 apps —> 19 OAs/phones —> 5 interviews

#

What are y’all at

faint igloo
#

half that in all aspects lol

teal jackal
#

god everyones ratio is so bad this year

#

yeah....

normal palm
#

i rapid fire them

blissful sonnet
#

10% of my applications are OAs, 0 interviews

night magnet
#

Yeah same

#

240 is like an estimate

normal palm
night magnet
#

But OAs/interviews is accurate

blissful sonnet
night magnet
#

Ok well I’ve tracked 115

#

And I figure I’ve roughly doubled that

#

So that’s how I got it

#

Hold up I can check my email for “thank you for applying” and count that too

#

To get an exact number

#

What do y’all consider ghosting

#

I consider a ghost if I’ve actually entered the process (phone/OA/interview) then I get no answer

blissful sonnet
faint igloo
#

bruh isnt that just a rejection lol

night magnet
#

But I don’t consider a ghost to be “no response after applying” bc some companies just take longer to review apps

night magnet
faint igloo
#

lol

night magnet
#

Maybe

#

For ex I emailed Deloitte recruiter and she said they don’t review apps until mid October even tho I applied a while ago

#

Bruh what

#

How can you get salty

#

Doesn’t like everyone do that

#

That’s so dumb

#

Like would they rather you accept then renege??

#

That’s the alternative

faint igloo
#

lol tbf not alot of places can match imc comp

night magnet
#

Wdym in the initial auto email

#

Ohh yeah I see

"Are you bound by any non-solicitation agreements which would restrict your ability to prospect for business?" applying to a new grad role, would you say "yes" if you had to sign a NDA for a previous internship?

#

Dude/dudette, here’s a perspective I actually got yesterday. One of the uni building toilets was clogged with shit. A janitor has to deal with that now. That 50 year old janitor gets paid maybe 70k max (not to mention there’s janitors in developing countries who get paid 10 times+ less than that)

That janitor is a human being. They probably didn’t grow up thinking they would need to clean ppl’s shit when they were 50. Life threw things at them that led them to that situation.

So for all our “struggle”, let’s keep things in perspective and appreciate how frikin lucky we are as of now ✌️

~sincerely: a person w/ 2xfaang, 50 apps, 0 interviews

Just like they were (probably just venting) equating the bad hiring season to a bad life, which I’ve done before too and realize is totally useless and illogical to do

autumn ridge

#

i've noticed if you get no-showed once you get it again and again

#

the chances of them appearing a second time are low

#

(just my observation seeing others get showed up)

Does Roblox do a phone call or Zoom for offer/reject call?

Back when I worked at Amazon as a software engineer, the CRAZIEST thing happened to me. Here's the story...
I was working from home with my girlfriend (at the time), when suddenly I get an urgent ping from my coworker:
"Our service is experiencing a SEV 2! We need all hands on deck!" Uh oh, our team's application has gone down!
However, as I scrambled to figure out how to fix the issue, I smelled something burning from another room and heard a fire alarm go off. "Will! There's a fire! Help!" I heard my girlfriend shout. Now I was stuck in a conundrum - restore a critical Amazon service, or put out the fire in my apartment?
It was at that time I remembered Amazon's famous leadership principle "Customer Obsession". There are customers who depend on my team's application - I can't let them down! So I ignored the fire and my girlfriend's pleas, and started debugging the production issue.
But all of a sudden, the smoke in my apartment cleared and the fire alarm fell silent. My girlfriend walked into the room, and to my astonishment, peeled off a wig and revealed herself to be Jeff Bezos himself! "I'm proud of you for being obsessed with our customers," he said, and gave me a $5 Amazon gift card. He then leaped out of my window and hopped into a waiting Amazon Prime delivery van that quickly peeled away.
Even though I no longer work at Amazon, I'm so grateful for these experiences that taught me lessons l'll never forget.
Agree?

#

I applied for algo swe maybe thats why its diff?

#

'test consists of 3 single function tasks which will assess computer science fundamentals'

#

dae if this will be any different to the standard DSAs for codesignal

formal fable
# tardy geode i have faced this many times , ohk if i sounded racist I am so sorry 😦

Correlation != Causation. But as an Indian, I can offer an explanation. If the manager has spent a significant chunk of their career in India, they've learnt the ways of Indian corpos. And by western standards, those are tough. So... If you're regularly encountering Indian managers with significant Indian career time, there's like a 50/50 chance of them being stubborn or arrogant or maybe well-intended but not well-prepared for employee handling in the US. You can see this distinction if you find an Indian who started working abroad early on, cause they'd learn from these otherwise tough experiences to somehow be better, instead of absorbing them into their DNA

I mean 3 is usually a very simple problem just lots of code implementation

My answer is more for ppl who are tryna get optimal for every question. 1 and 2 def u can brute force and not Tle

yeah codesignal is designed around time limits

if your q4 solution aint at least O(nlogn) its wrong

I think that at first, I was in shock about how what everyone used to say "oh yeah 150k tc is so ez" was so painstakingly difficult for me

#

And then I realized that I wasn't alone

#

And then I realized that it's just the reality of 2023 new grads

late kestrel
#

your average ng isnt like that

teal jackal
#

But then again, 150k tc was never as ez as certain people made it sound

late kestrel

At this point, I'm fine with any SWE job tbh. Not even searching for MLE or any specialized role

I've reached the acceptance phase

For those who interviewed for Google newgrad on september 12th or the week of the 12th, my recruiter told me I'd receive feedback on monday, so y'all will likely hear back this upcoming week too. smh so nerve wracking

return offers are often higher than new grad

teal jackal
#

I don't think it's easy anymore

#

Standards have shot up this season

#

Lower headcount expectations

quick wraith
#

talked to my recruiter it seems they are no new grads other than the intern class

forest galleon
#

did you take it? how was it?

teal jackal
#

I think that I'll probably be continuously applying for positions until I graduate, maybe I'll get a last second good deal on a job offer

#

Even if I accepted already I'll just renege

quick wraith
teal jackal
quick wraith
#

assuming the economy recovers in a year

rain patio
#

I didn't get a return offer cuz the headcount was too low. Now I'm applying to the new grad role WazowskiStare

teal jackal
#

I'm saying that I'll probably be applying continuously all year, even if I have a good offer

Unless I get a job where I can't really expect to do better than it

Anyone have info on when LinkedIn might release their new grad apps?

Anyone have Pinterest ng link?

so i agree

#

i dont think ur wrong with accepting 2 offers

quick wraith

whats the latest date before you can renege ?

as big of a dick move as that is

anybody who tried it 🤣

i had a friend leave his new job after 2 weeks for google last year lol

quick wraith

hard to do as a international

teal jackal

just expunge it from the resume

#

i wouldnt even ask the company to send me a single paycheck

night magnet
quick wraith
#

are you an international?

teal jackal
#

id feel bad if i got paid, but i dont feel bad for wasting their time

#

yeah honestly ive realized that this is why i cant make a linkedin announcement for my job
what if i renege a week in for a new offer

#

its a bad look

wind drum
#

yeah i made that mistake 2 years in a row lol

quick wraith
#

this better to keep quiet

teal jackal
#

ill probably put it in my linkedin bio like, two months into the job

#

honestly ill just say some bs like "the company gave me the wrong impression"

hasty birch
teal jackal
#

anyways

#

if the new grad season is still running throughout summer 2023, ill probably still be applying

#

ill just leave a career gap on my resume between graduating and starting at a company i hypothetically get an offer from

quick wraith
#

My unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigably makes me a feared opponent in any job market

teal jackal
#

after september is probably point of no return for the immediate future and ill stop

azure zephyr
teal jackal
#

i think u should make an announcement if u get a good job on the first try

#

but if ur still interviewing and hope for better but need job security, im probably gonna keep silent

azure zephyr

technically ive already accepted an offer with amazon so it'll look weird asf if in like a month im like "looking forward to starting my career with microsoft!!!"

apparently micrsoft atlanta is still open, i applied to it

oh well

into the void my app goes

i have a final with microsoft

currently waiting to see outcome of bloomberg VO, does anything get signified on bloomberg portal?

i dont really like atlanta, but id move for sure to work there

it just be like that sometimes tbh theyre not hiring too much at all so the people theyre choosing to hire are people who usually don't have the accessibility for these opportunities

yup time to remove apple

i still hope i can get interviews at decent companies

Hey guys,
Had my Vo for bloomberg yesterday. My 2nd interviewer told me to come back to meeting after 1 hour but then after 5-10 mins I got a call from bloomberg that staff is not around so HR will call you tomorrow. Has this happened to anyone?

azure zephyr
teal jackal
#

tbh i dont mind the crunch and long hours

#

i thought a lot about this and i realized i dont have much to live for outside of career achievements anyways

#

hobbies like cars and vidya are more like temporary highs for me, rather than something i get meaning in life from

wind drum
#

trying to find meaning in career achievements can lead to a miserable life pretty often

#

just look at everyone on blind

quick wraith
#

disagree

#

TC = Happiness

teal jackal
#

so basically

#

im deferring my existential crisis for later in life

quick wraith
#

There is no meaning in life other than TC

Can you save enough that soon?

teal jackal

im kind of asocial
I only socialize with others to fill the expectation that i'm supposed to have friends, when really it's not meaningful to me

i prefer to do it in a team

quick wraith
teal jackal

i prefer to actually enter the game dev industry as a member of an established team

is it safe to assume rejection from msft lol i applied like aug 3rd

i think my sights are set for new years, my goal isnt even leetcode anymore, its to build up good game projects

im probably gonna give the rest of my leetcode account subscription to my friends and not renew it

hope I get onsite free ride to visit places
