Yea

[foggy star]

Not another feetfindr ad

[foggy star]

Filtered out most likely

[wheat seal]

I think databricks is better than Roblox though

And cit tbh

[elder hull]

but why is databricks being so rush

fuck

[hexed moth]

[elder hull]

hr said it's because they are moving really fast

[crude saffron]

There are a few places 700+

[gray niche]

[slate bobcat]

Toelands

Ren tech is > 700

[runic wind]

Like v unlikely

[crude saffron]

Headlands is

In EV

Not guaranteed

I don’t know c++

[thorn walrus]

[runic wind]

C++ is nowhere near 700

[thorn walrus]

ok good makes me feel better when i eventually get rejected

[gray niche]

tyty

will withdraw zon now

[runic wind]

Their average tenure is ridiculous tho

Like 5+years

Tbf I think a lot of people are getting headlands onsite this year pmao

[crude saffron]

Someone ik got headlands simply to nego with her lol

[runic wind]

her?

Headlands onsite?

Lol what

I know, 6 interviews

Also that's not the final either
There is another interview after the 8hr onsite

It is

It is technical

Mine was

It was with their head of platform

Headlands

Technical

I thought it went well, lmao

But then I got rejected so

[austere grove]

o rip

[runic wind]

Anyway, cit

[austere grove]

cit seems harder than usual this year

fwiw

but i still know someone who got it

[runic wind]

Phones were chill

[austere grove]

yeah

cit is random tho, i just mean they arent hiring as many this year i think

[runic wind]

Guess I should do that imc video thing

[austere grove]

do u have an offer rn

if not i'd do anyhtin glol

it's impossible to tell how shit the economy might get

[runic wind]

Yeah

[austere grove]

like literally anyhting

ok good

[runic wind]

I'd do anything too without an offer lmao

[austere grove]

yeah im unironically considering revature

[runic wind]

I'd do anything too (except revature) without an offer lmao

[austere grove]

revature -> capital one pipeline

[runic wind]

No jk

Do it

[crude saffron]

Will Amazon take u back mage?

[austere grove]

no they are full ithink

they are waitlisting now

[runic wind]

Wait, Roblox?!

Enjoy

[elder hull]

[brazen lily]

267k

[austere grove]

wow!

[eternal hatch]

Maybe I shouldn't skip their OA..... Lmao

[runic wind]

Why was I resume rejected ffs

[eternal hatch]

Tf.... I thought they send OA first and then resume screen

[crude saffron]

Is the new MacBook good?

[austere grove]

Warning for violating rule 12: anti poor language, not everyone can afford it mr moneybags

[crude saffron]

Wot

I’m poor

Wot

My only savings are from my internship and scholarship

[teal jackal]

I heard the air has heat issues

I'd get the pro probably

The 13 inch m2

[runic wind]

The md5 of this image is the image itself

What server is this?

[austere grove]

ik hav eroblox final next week

give me the alpha

[ivory stratus]

depends on what you want. i have the 16" M1 and its the best laptop ive ever had

[young peak]

262k at Roblox is absolutely nuts

[crude saffron]

Ah I was gonna get the M2

[young peak]

congrats on the cracked offer!

[crude saffron]

Apple Watch

Why would I have a Rolex I’m unemployed atm

[young peak]

Bro got a 200k+ offer and already flexing on kids

[crude saffron]

Mage just likes to troll

[young peak]

Is okay

[crude saffron]

U should be getting the Rolex

[young peak]

bro gonna lose 50% of TC to SF tax

[crude saffron]

If u work internationally do u need a new phone?

[austere grove]

@crude saffron would u take the T company over ur current place

im curious

[crude saffron]

What is T company

[austere grove]

the one that starts with a T

[crude saffron]

Wb Hong Kong

Just say it idk what ur talking about

[austere grove]

oh tgs

[crude saffron]

Prolly not

Idt I’d be a good fit for the type of work they do

How do u use data

Or does SIM card still include service and data

[austere grove]

that's insane

[young peak]

yessir

[austere grove]

ur place is like 2 traders right

[crude saffron]

I’d be a worse qr than trader

No

[young peak]

Naw your roblox offer is nuts considering you had way less leverage

[sonic coral]

Holy roblox base is insane

[young peak]

us folks at G get shafted with low base

[crude saffron]

I could but I won’t cause I’ll be working

[runic wind]

Didn't yogi get like a ridiculous G offer

[crude saffron]

I’ll go to Macau

[sonic coral]

I at least can’t complain about base after my transfer but I got really lucky in my nego lol

[young peak]

yeah?

[runic wind]

Iirc you nego using cit?

[crude saffron]

I’ll just go there to punt

[runic wind]

Man so many chads here

[young peak]

yeah mainly cit

Sent in BB and Cit as the two offer letters

[runic wind]

But G still didn't best cit?

[crude saffron]

What was your rationale in declining cit

[runic wind]

Yeah I wanna know too

Like I'd take cit every time

Who cares if they are paying 100k more

[crude saffron]

I don’t think the decision is that clear cut

Quite person dependent

[young peak]

Didn't wanna work 60+ hours in NYC, outside of the pure tech space where I'd prob get better growth + Google was my goal company for 4+ years

Just to name a few

[crude saffron]

Seems reasonable

[young peak]

WFH and internal mobility are king at G

[runic wind]

Growth path is clear at G
Doesn't mean there's no growth at cit

[young peak]

Yeah it's in comparison that I chose G, Citadel is still a fantastic company

[crude saffron]

I’m surprised G has higher growth than cit

[young peak]

Also cit lowballed me with their offer, and I'd rather be more valued

[runic wind]

Yeah I'd be doubtful

[crude saffron]

Was it the 375?

[young peak]

350k

[dusty basin]

[crude saffron]

Wow

[runic wind]

Hm 350 is pretty close then

Your G offer was like 300+?

[crude saffron]

I’m surprised they didn’t go higher with G

[young peak]

No I got like a B- in calc 2 (although I did get As in all other classes)

[young peak]

Naw 265k

[crude saffron]

Maybe they value competing offers more than tech 🤔

[runic wind]

Bruh
350
Vs
265

[young peak]

Most of the other folk on Blind/Levels got 400+k

[crude saffron]

Yea

[dusty basin]

Bro. After the fuck ups you’ve done

[young peak]

Seattle vs NYC makes it a bit better, plus I'm married so I file differently than y'all

wtf is usamo

[runic wind]

400k+ swe is rare unless you tell them about competing offers from the beginning

[dusty basin]

I think they were overpaying

[crude saffron]

Highest I saw last year was 500

[young peak]

Oh lmfao

[crude saffron]

U don’t need math for cit dev process I thought

[runic wind]

Nah

[young peak]

last year

[crude saffron]

450 seems like the modal outcome this year

[young peak]

also I got low even for last year, which is why I took that as a con

[crude saffron]

Yeah there also might be some corr between starting salary and future success at cit

[young peak]

Yeah it didn't seem like a big point? They focused a lot more on C knowledge

[runic wind]

How are you liking G now

[crude saffron]

Cit trading doesn’t require that hard of math

[young peak]

Fucking loving it my guy

couldn't have asked for a better place to start my career

[dusty basin]

It’s been a day bruh

[sonic coral]

But rip stock lmao

[runic wind]

I'm in a very similar position rn lmao

[dusty basin]

[runic wind]

But I'm def leaning towards the cit-equivalent choice

[crude saffron]

Like you certainly don’t need comp math exp to succeed at the cit trader process

Js jump are above cit imo

Certainly close tho depends on what ur utility function is

[runic wind]

Has HRT even started interviewing for core

[crude saffron]

Idk that much about cit hf

Jump has the highest upside as a dev

Since they’re closer to the PnL

[runic wind]

Jump also seems like one of the nicest places to work at

[crude saffron]

Jump is sick

Not rly

[runic wind]

At cit/citsec, yes.

[young peak]

stfu

wtf do you mean bud

200k TC is cracked congrats

[dusty basin]

U need a break from this server then bro

[runic wind]

50k after tax is 25k
Rounding error

[crude saffron]

I’m just trying to not get fired after a month

[young peak]

average csmajors redditor be like

[fresh lagoon]

When ur maxing retirement, living in a nice 1 bedroom and still have 30k left for random crap I think you'll reevaluate how much it matters

[crude saffron]

I mean there are like 100k people on here

[nocturne oriole]

[clever orbit]

sig?

[nocturne oriole]

everybody knows 100k in texas >>> 250k in california

[crude saffron]

They also have a lot of people

[nocturne oriole]

hot take but facts

don't @ me

[clever orbit]

sig = two sigma?

[nocturne oriole]

nah dont i used to simp austin but TX has some cooler cities for better COL
once ur senior with remote salary it's great

san antonio, houston, are great

austin > dallas tho

[sonic coral]

There’s a Gracie gym in nyc too I’m pretty sure

[foggy perch]

nahhh

living in texas sucks

[nocturne oriole]

i have discussed this with my friends a lot and yep, it's very unfortunate

tends to be that TX only keeps the people who grew up there

[young peak]

quants shops ain't my thing but from going through the process in most of em, talking to a fuck ton of people on LN/Blind/Reddit that work there + just doing research on TC/WLB/Career opp -- Imma be real they're really great. Fantastic even. It's just that there's a much higher than average (avg being FAANG) chance that you're gonna be treated not as great, work more hours + have to deal with worse bureaucracy than most tech companies

[foggy perch]

having a functioning power grid >>>>> living in texas

[nocturne oriole]

it's about what you value, your risk taking, how much $/hour you wanna make

there's a reason kiddos simp HRT and js

[young peak]

100% and people don't do enough research which is why I wanna tell people up front that these are the choices y'all are making when you choose these companies

[runic wind]

Kirb with his 500k Cali pay in Texas

[nocturne oriole]

enough people have convinved me cit sec is not that bad

[young peak]

Unicorn after establishing a foundation in FAANG would be my move

[vital meteor]

like jujutsu kaisen?

[young peak]

lmfao tony welcome to the pleb non-booster club

[crude saffron]

Cit sec is not that bad

[runic wind]

We all simp for citsec

[young peak]

eh maybe

[foggy perch]

my only dream is to hit that 500k mark in tech

then I'm coasting

for the rest of my life

[runic wind]

Join cit, achieve that today

[foggy perch]

cit interview hard tho

[peak ferry]

cit interview not hard still failed 🤡

[runic wind]

Need to be a boy genius with a gold medal in icpc and create apache spark and win all possible dissertation awards first

[foggy perch]

true it's so wack to see crypto people ask like they were geniuses tho

I keep seeing videos of bitcoin millionaires who were clearly just basement dwellers that got lucky

but are acting like they were visionairies

[runic wind]

Lmao

[vague kraken]

Porsche 911 superior

[cerulean nebula]

does anyone know how's Circle 1-day final round?

[azure zephyr]

i think crypto is dumb but i also wish i invested more in crypto before the crash

[foggy perch]

true but I see it as it being like

wow I wish I bought a lottery ticket in x store

because that store sold the winning ticket

[azure zephyr]

yeah very true

i did make some money off DOGECOIN tho lol i bout like $75 worth when the pandemic first started before DOGE blew up, and then one day that $75 was worth...so much more lol

cashed out

[foggy perch]

i sure am ready to pump and dump

i see

on a side note

isn't crypto just straight a scam now

now that it's like

centralized in apps like coinbase

when the whole point was decentralization and not being tracked

[azure zephyr]

i have so much to learn about crypto and investing lol

[quick wraith]

crypto or investing pick one

[azure zephyr]

straight up, its just a social status atp but im not sure if the market will bounce back

[foggy perch]

I feel like the majority of the population who learned about crypto does tho

[crude saffron]

Coinbase is a p bad exchange

[foggy perch]

check if he gets taken out by the feds

[crude saffron]

Us regulations are quite strict for crypto

Yea with 1/100 of the devs lol

[runic wind]

Literally every crypto exchange sucks lol

[foggy perch]

makes sense

[runic wind]

Bitmex? Ftx?

[foggy perch]

no reason it shouldn't/wouldn't be

[crude saffron]

Ftx is probably the highest EV place to start as a dev

[runic wind]

Alameda you mean

[crude saffron]

No

[foggy perch]

but also so did people who cashed out on bitcoin get fucked by the feds for avoiding taxes

lmao

[crude saffron]

Yes

[runic wind]

Their cto is like 24 lol

[foggy perch]

isn't scale ai founder super young too

25 nice

[coral finch]

fake money, andrew tate has real money

does scale ai has a bugati ?

[foggy perch]

probably

[obsidian quartz]

Did not get an answer in general so reposting here. Is it harder to get a new-grad position in the us/canada if you are applying from a different country?
Do they take visa status into accounts before taking a decision?

[coral finch]

uh yess?

and yes

you can get rescind if fail visa interview

[vast rock]

has anyone gotten pinterest reachout recently?

how long did it take between codesignal submission and reachout

[last bolt]

I got reached out by Pinterest only to be rejected a day later

[thorn walrus]

[hasty birch]

NY

[dense blaze]

Hola mi amor

[dusky plover]

[teal jackal]

Im surprised tbh I thought they just ghosted

Oh wait it was for fall 22

But I'm still shook

I thought they just ghost

[ivory stratus]

Same lol

It was for internship

[wheat seal]

Palantir Seattle office is in the hood actually wow

Pioneer square

[tired hollow]

Palantir has a Seattle office? I thought it was NYC and Palo Alto

[warm latch]

yeah same just got google rj for fall 22

[teal jackal]

Dt Seattle is such a shithole

Nothing redeeming about that part

[wheat seal]

They have a Seattle office

Look at LinkedIn posts

On-site

Seattle

Check out this job at Palantir Technologies: Software Engineer

[wheat seal]

Ik I work in downtown rn lol

Pioneer square is even further downtown

And closer to ID

[rustic vessel]

Theres seattle

They asked me if I wanted seattle, nyc or the one in cali

[wheat seal]

Nyc easily lol

Is that a question

[lament summit]

what level lc does scale give

[rustic vessel]

I said seattle

[wheat seal]

Fr?

Better comp in Seattle?

Or u just from Washington

[formal moon]

Yo did anyone apply to Bank of America?

[rustic vessel]

Early in the process so didn’t ask and assumed I could change later

[tired hollow]

Oh damn, my recruiter just told me Palo Alto and NYC

[wheat seal]

U didn’t change?

[rustic vessel]

Nah will prob ask for nyc after final or so

[wheat seal]

You should

Trust me u don’t want to move to Seattle lol

Pick NYC

I’m in Seattle now

[tired hollow]

How's the Seattle experience?

[wheat seal]

Crime, drug problems

Overall it’s fine in SLU

But ppl are aggressive a bit

[tired hollow]

Gotcha

[weak latch]

boo

[fallen fox]

yeah like 3 weeks ago, probaby ghosted

[marble bronze]

Same

Crickets from them

[dusky plover]

how many apps are yall at

think im at like

274

[marble bronze]

74

[wheat seal]

Also not a whole lot to do

[dusky plover]

its funny how qualtrics invited me to interview 2x in a row and i denied both, and when i actually want to interview with them they reject my ng app

[wheat seal]

In Seattle

[dusky plover]

this is a good amount of oas

[tired hollow]

I see I see. I like staying indoors so I'd probably enjoy it lmao

[dusky plover]

wait actually i lied im at 242 apps

[marble bronze]

Damn

[tired hollow]

Doesn't seattle have a lot of nature nearby for hikes and stuff?

[formal moon]

Yeah I got an invite for a hirevue with them

But I’m so ass at leetcode

[marble bronze]

I'm very much coasting at this point though - not applying to super tech focused companies and not heavy applying in general

[formal moon]

I was wondering if they do mroe tjepry or what they really do

[fallen fox]

it's boa, i doubt they ask anything above lc easy

[marble bronze]

Basically any F500 that pays well enough I'll probably go with, or if one of the various companies for that matter

[fallen fox]

but then again this is 2023 so we have clothing companies asking dp hards

[weak latch]

im coasting without having an offer yet

which is super dumb lmao

im gonna update my resume this weekend and then spam my app to a lot of places soon

[formal moon]

If it’s that then I should be good

[marble bronze]

Application Transferred for Amazon though? Or is that MS

[weak latch]

msft lol

[formal moon]

But lowkey I mess up some of the lt easy also

[marble bronze]

Ah

[weak latch]

yah im on serious copium

[lilac siren]

I give up tracking my applications

[formal moon]

What’s the best place to review lt questions?

[azure zephyr]

but how's culture, food, nightlife etc?

[marble bronze]

But yeah same, I don't have an offer on paper just yet. Hoping for At&t to pull through

[fallen fox]

start with b75 i guess if you haven't done lc before

[azure zephyr]

seattle is top of my list now

[weak latch]

ATT is closed now right?

[marble bronze]

Dallas seems like a decent place

Not sure

Hella places closed early though. Wanted to apply for Expedia and forgot, last I checked it was gone

[formal moon]

Yeah I acc haven’t even started💀

[azure zephyr]

maybe even grind 75 instead for a schedule

[weak latch]

this is mine so far\

[formal moon]

Is it even possible to get into Amazon if I start studying leetcode now

[marble bronze]

Yooo C1

[formal moon]

Like I will try to start tonight even

[fallen fox]

amazon is waitlisting everyone afaik

[weak latch]

if you even get an oa lol

[wheat seal]

I don’t really do nightlife. The food is amazing if u like seafood

[formal moon]

Wait AT&T is open right now?

[marble bronze]

Hirevue is just so draining, I don't count them as OA

[weak latch]

you're better off trying again as an industry hire for amazon than going for ng right now

[marble bronze]

Finished up final HR yesterday

[formal moon]

Wait wtf could you send me the link for AT&T

[marble bronze]

Yeah Amazon seems to be more or less frozen on the ng pipeline for now

[formal moon]

I couldn’t find it

[marble bronze]

If it's not on the careers site then it's prob closed

[formal moon]

Yeah Amazon I got the OA last year but I’m retarted

Damn

[fallen fox]

but generally yes b75 should be good enough for amazon ng

[formal moon]

How they closed when it’s September only💀

[marble bronze]

Did you search for TDP or Technology Development Program?

That's the name of the role or part of it

[marble bronze]

Hella places closing early this year

It's actually nuts how competitive it feels

[azure zephyr]

culture meaning like...i guess what's the general vibe there? like you know nyc you got hustle & bustle, san diego is super chill, la full of influencers etc

[marble bronze]

Thought I was like the only person who applied for Fannie Mae but it looks like half the server did too

[low scroll]

praying for NYC new grad

[marble bronze]

And I can't compete with y'all

[late kestrel]

just remember yield protection is a real thing

[formal moon]

Yeah it’s acc closed bro wtf is this

[marble bronze]

Damn, I guess they just filled the pipeline that quick

[formal moon]

Bro how it’s literally so early

That’s acc retarted

[marble bronze]

I didn't make it to C1 or Amazon pipelines before they clogged

[fallen fox]

most faang companies aren't recruiting

[formal moon]

Bro C1 didn’t even give me an OA

[marble bronze]

813 on C1 is fine and all but I ain't got a fuckin powerday

[formal moon]

I’m getting fucked by those companies

I got a couple of OAs but nothing compared to the rest of y’all

[dusky plover]

its a shitshow out here

[formal moon]

Thank god I still have a return offer from my company last year

[fallen fox]

i might delay graduation to may 2023

[marble bronze]

Honestly I have 0 clue how I'm getting more phones than my friend who interned at DDog

[fallen fox]

maybe things will improve?

[formal moon]

It’s acc so bad this year

Like idk why it’s so competitive

I literally got rejected from prudential final round

I should have gotten in

[marble bronze]

I have my doubts, but it's possible because of new year new budget in 2023

[fallen fox]

i got resume reject from fuking comcast lol with 3 internships

[marble bronze]

But then again I'm applying now as a June 23 grad, I assume others are too

So delaying by however many months likely won't be that useful

[cinder ingot]

Does anyone have a link to this channel? Am not able to find it

[formal moon]

Bro I have 2 internship prior I should be getting OAs at least at some big companies

Wait should I apply to JP Morgan?

[marble bronze]

#new_grad_salary_sharing ?

[cinder ingot]

Thread

[formal moon]

What are some easier big companies to get into?

[marble bronze]

Oh wait that's offer

JPMC ghosted me, though I couldn't solve both problems

[formal moon]

Was the problems hard

I got destroyed by then last year

[marble bronze]

Kinda but I imagine it wasn't insane

[wheat seal]

Cap hill is more active

SLU feels like everyone is inside coding

Or walking their dog outside

Either or lol

[cinder ingot]

I think its a different channel something like new-grad-offer-details.....

[marble bronze]

No idea why some firms are super choosy like GM and Gap

[wheat seal]

Cap hill everyone is chillin outside playing basketball. Jamming to music. Whatever. Has more energy

[vague kraken]

Walmart has ok pay

[marble bronze]

Or maybe my skillset just wasn't a match?

[azure zephyr]

yeah but expedia & amazon are in the city so have been wondering

[formal moon]

The GM interview was so hard

It should not have been that hard

[marble bronze]

The hardest part was parsing the fucking input

[formal moon]

Like for what they pay

[vague kraken]

I met lots of people working at amazon seattle and pretty much nobody lived in seattle

[wheat seal]

Yea like I said. Seattle isn’t the best vibes

Bellevue is wayyyyyy better

[formal moon]

Bro I wish everything so competitive

[azure zephyr]

but isnt bellevue more suburban?

[vague kraken]

Bellevue is safer and richer and more boring

[wheat seal]

There’s more to do in Bellevue than Seattle

Seattle doesn’t even have a mall

To shop for clothes or anything

Kinda wild

[teal jackal]

Everyone got rejected lol

Ain't u

[vague kraken]

True. Seattle feels small and residential.

[dusky plover]

yee ik bruh jsut saying

they doing the opposite of what meta

doing

with they interns

[wheat seal]

In slu, everyone is either inside coding or walking their dog lol

[formal moon]

Wait is it rare to get an OA from Amazon?

[wheat seal]

Also one apartment called onni has a squat rack and a basketball court inside

Within slu

[vague kraken]

Yeah would not recommend living in SLU unless you want to be super close to the office

[azure zephyr]

yeah that doesn't rly appeal to me i want a more lively neighborhood (with a dog tho lmao)

[brazen lily]

lol no

[azure zephyr]

cap hill seems interesting

[teal jackal]

Not bad

[wheat seal]

Yea Ud like cap hill then

[vague kraken]

cap hill is the more hip/young/gay part of town

[wheat seal]

I play basketball sometimes at cal Anderson

[formal moon]

Oh so it’s pretty common acc

[azure zephyr]

i also dont want a car which is why im looking moreso for in the seattle city

[wheat seal]

Ppl play pickup a lot on cal Anderson

And pretty friendly

I’m in SLU though now

[vague kraken]

I think you need a car in seattle

[wheat seal]

I like SLU because ur close to everything

[vague kraken]

That's my opinion anyway

[wheat seal]

I live in SLU and walk everywhere

Or I use public transit

Company gave me orca card for unlimited transportation

But I don’t really use it. Public transit is really clean though

[marble bronze]

I've heard most of good walking/public transit infra cities are in midwest

[dusky plover]

which tech hub has the most cuties

[wheat seal]

Seattle has amazing public transit

[marble bronze]

Also Vancouver, but that's in Canada

[vague kraken]

NYC and it's not even close

definitely NOT seattle

[wheat seal]

Hm?

[azure zephyr]

i have a car rn i just want to sell it if im living in a HCOL so i can save more

[vague kraken]

It is

[wheat seal]

I pay $2300/mth rent

[azure zephyr]

how about on the weekend?

[wheat seal]

In slu

For a 550 sq ft studio

[azure zephyr]

yea but that would be like $2600 if paying for parking spot

[vague kraken]

Imo on weekends in seattle your ass should be skiing or checking out all the cool spots north of the city

[wheat seal]

Way more than that

Parking is expensive as hell

Well ig depends

But expect like maybe $400/mth

I think

[vague kraken]

Sounds about right

[marble bronze]

Yikes

[coral finch]

what's msft API-development (back-end) and distributed systems(back-end) ?

[azure zephyr]

yep plus on top of car insurance ehhh if i dont need it i dont want it lmao

perfectly fine getting rid of my car and giving it to my little brother or something

[wheat seal]

One of them probably deals with more scale

Distributed systems

Not at all lol

[coral finch]

Car is a must in USA

[wheat seal]

If u live in west Seattle

Then yea

Or like the islands

There’s trails that are close by

But stuff like lake 22

Ur gonna need a car yea

Yea I’m in SLU

[teal jackal]

I have a new hyperfixation on five nights at freddys

[wheat seal]

It’s great

[teal jackal]

I'm gonna play some fnaf tn

I'm excited

[azure zephyr]

thats what i would do, if in bellevue or redmond tho i'd keep my car

[wheat seal]

The only thing I don’t like about Seattle is the homelessness situations and sometimes ppl can be pretty aggressive. Got called hard r for no reason lol

Like by a homeless person I think

Yes

It’s prob cuz of Covid

[vague kraken]

Yeah west coast homeless are something else

[teal jackal]

Even then the transit is mid

Not having a car in Seattle is suffocating

[wheat seal]

One of the main reasons why I like nyc

[teal jackal]

I can't live anywhere, even Manhattan, without a car.

My passion for five nights at Freddy's inspires me to drive cars more.

[vague kraken]

the regular type homeless people are scared of the homeless people

[wheat seal]

Also this is cal Anderson park

Ppl just put their tent anywhere

In seattle

And it’s totally fine

[vague kraken]

Yeah there's basically no rules in seattle lmao

[teal jackal]

Oh man cal Anderson park got taken over?

Dafuq

Seriously?

But then again Seattle's always been a free for all with homelessness

Government there is very hands off

[vague kraken]

Never seen people do meth in public until I went to seattle

[wheat seal]

Meth heroin yup in Chinatown

It’s wild

[teal jackal]

No real support for homeless and no protection of civilians from druggie mentally ill homeless

[azure zephyr]

in atlanta sometime homeless ppl would come up to my car and knock on my window while i was at a red light 😭

[teal jackal]

Ive seen multiple mfs overdose in Seattle

In chinstownv

[vague kraken]

They get support but these types are too wild for the shelters

[teal jackal]

Chinatown in Seattle is such a hot mess

As a Chinese person I don't even know how Seattle Chinatown ended up that way

[wheat seal]

Yea I’d never step foot there

Tons of gangs

And ppl doing hard drugs broad daylight

[vague kraken]

But dw folks. SLU is santized af.

[wheat seal]

Yea ig

[azure zephyr]

what about cap hill

[wheat seal]

SLU is better than LQA and everything

[azure zephyr]

generally safe?

[teal jackal]

The Seattle government is so hands off, they think the solution is to just let the homeless wander and not enforce any bounds

[vague kraken]

cap hill should be fine

[wheat seal]

Yea it’s generally safe

[teal jackal]

Cap hill is aight, it's full of yuppies

[vague kraken]

basically just don't go downtown

[wheat seal]

I’d say stick to the west part of cap hill

[vague kraken]

ballard, fremont, uhhhh

queen anne

[teal jackal]

If they ever open a Freddy fazbears pizzeria in Seattle I'd recommend it for sure

[wheat seal]

Queen Anne is kinda sketch tbh sometimes

Like LQA

[vague kraken]

I'm just listing places some amazonians lived

[wheat seal]

Personally LQA sucks

[vague kraken]

Ok i'll keep that in mind

[wheat seal]

2nd Ave downtown?

I work there lol

Yea it’s hella sketch

Seen a glass bottle right

[teal jackal]

Yeah stick with slu and cap hill

[vague kraken]

Yeah trust these aren't your normal down on your luck homeless lmao.

[teal jackal]

Seattle is wild, the drug addiction and mental illness is unreal

[wheat seal]

Also when I was getting a haircut at my barber a dude was freaking twirling a leaf and smiling at us from the outside

[teal jackal]

Slu is too boring right

[vague kraken]

SLU only if you want to be close to office

[teal jackal]

Both Seattle and San Francisco need a fazbear pizzeria tbh

[vague kraken]

It's safe and nice but boring. Boring can be good though depending on your preferences.

[lament summit]

welp

[wheat seal]

I mean idk I like SLU

[lament summit]

its gg

[wheat seal]

It’s close to everything

[lament summit]

scale scheduled for monday

my interviewer

[prime palm]

Me too

[wheat seal]

I can walk pretty much anywhere

[vague kraken]

True, you'll see pretty much everybody at the same whole foods haha.

[lament summit]

mit, quora, jane street, facebook then now lead engnineer at scale

gg

[azure zephyr]

sounds like a busy weekend for you @lament summit

[teal jackal]

I got a fazbear entertainment offer today

I'm so happy

I start next Monday, gonna be late night hours

The graveyard shift

Watching security cams and shit

[wheat seal]

Those guys are often the most humble though

[teal jackal]

Its a good gig

[wheat seal]

It’s usually the ones that get one good gig that are the cockiest

[lament summit]

i hope so

[wheat seal]

At least what I’ve seen in interviews

[lament summit]

inb4 he gives me dp

[teal jackal]

What does that mean?

I'm mad proud to work for fazbear pizza tbh

[wheat seal]

Like they maybe were working for a lesser known company then moved to a more prestigious one and stayed there for years on end

[teal jackal]

Ah

Yeah

Tbh I get it

They're not used to that level of success hitting them at once

It makes sense

Mit to quora is kinda like you're used to being successful in life and always being on top

I feel like for tech, those who are used to success are pretty humble about it

Good folks

[wheat seal]

Pretty much yea I agree

[teal jackal]

I'm gonna have such a big ego abt myself if I can crack a big name company

Watch out lol

[wheat seal]

Most of tech has great culture tho

[teal jackal]

But I'll be nice on interviewees

But I'm still gonna think I'm the world's coolest person

[wheat seal]

Like I hate it when ppl can’t just say “ I don’t know”

[teal jackal]

What does that mean

[lament summit]

lmfaoooo

[teal jackal]

Has anyone applied to Oracle yet

Are they hiring and interviewing with decent frequency rn

Cuz my director family friend is gonna refer me tomorrow

Bro if I Ever get a 200k+ offer I'm gonna be so proud to love fnaf and also have a great job at a great company

I'm gonna be such an obnoxious and insufferable douche

[fallen fox]

i interned at oracle last year and was supposed to return this year but they laid off the entire intern department including the recruiters and everything

[azure zephyr]

recruiter reached out to me for oracle and im in the interview loop but theyre finalizing HC so its kinda on pause rn (global business unit)

[teal jackal]

I'm planning on applying for oci probably

[fallen fox]

they have a small office in my college town

cursed

[teal jackal]

I actually have experience from my first internship working on OCI dev tools

Did not work at Oracle but worked on product support for Oracle services

[vast rock]

i applied to oracle with referral but no HR is getting back to me.... i dont understand :(((

[mystic glacier]

i applied with HR referral and got resume rejected

thx oracle

[teal jackal]

Wack

Not gonna count on it then

But gonna try anyways

[mystic glacier]

resume rejections dont hurt my feelings any more

[teal jackal]

[lilac siren]

They sponsor

[pine topaz]

guys, are we heading out of recesion

or are we getting deeper into recesion

[teal jackal]

Balls deep into recession tbh

[austere grove]

Deeper

[marble bronze]

It'll probably get worse until the magic inflation number starts going down

[austere grove]

All depends on how much the feds hike rates

These shitty “companies” that hire swe all depend on free money to feed their cash burn needs

[pine topaz]

i started clenching my buttcheels after jerome powels announcement 🥶

[austere grove]

The inflation report sealed our fates

Unemployed for the next 2 years

[vague kraken]

looking at you uber/lyft

[marble bronze]

Really, most IPO/DPO'd companies from the past few years right

[vague kraken]

oh yes many more than just those two

[pine topaz]

high inflation ✅
high interst rates for a mortgage ✅
stagnated wages ✅
possibly getting laid off / not getting a job ✅

[vague kraken]

wall street desperately hoping inflation peaks so they can pump stonks again

[brittle marten]

150/50/50

how much is akuna offer lol

[marble bronze]

Yeah! In fact, they might need more people if the economy continues to get worse! Just that the tech will be used domestically instead of the middle east.

[whole zinc]

130/40/50

[marble bronze]

Isn't palantir the one that does military tech too

or maybe I'm wrong

Jokes aside though I've heard they're pretty solid, you should be fine

[sonic coral]

didn't the palantir ceo have a speech about how when times are tough they prosper or whatever

@frigid ember is this true

[frigid ember]

yes

i met alex karp today lol

[marble bronze]

I mean in a similar vein the investment companies prospered greatly when all those foreclosed houses flooded the market in 08

[brittle marten]

what's palantir offer this year

[frigid ember]

uhh

$230k

afaik

[brittle marten]

Where did u intern at?

He’s still here

[dire yarrow]

He got traumatized

[marble bronze]

[wheat seal]

U go to a top school?

Like target

[marble bronze]

UC Riverside

So no

[wheat seal]

Oh ok

It doesn’t really matter tbh

[marble bronze]

Once experience is thrown in the mix, that's the main focus

And it sucks because before that your school plays a much bigger role, but you need to get that first internship

The entire tech industry is just one big catch-22 of shit

[brittle marten]

imma take a life insurance

and u and circlejerk can split the cash

[vast wagon]

Does anyone get HR phone invitation from Twitch Amazon IVS, Network Development Team?

[outer radish]

lowkey finishing uni in 3 years then working FT for 1 year then applying for faang woulda been the ultimate big brain strat

no internships just rise up as a FTimer

[crude saffron]

You could just intern at FAANG freshman year, graduate in 2, and start ft

[outer radish]

shoulda thought bout this

smfh missed my window

tbh shoulda just interned at faang in grade 9

[normal palm]

asking system design on a new grad interview should be a crime

[ivory stratus]

What company?

[gray niche]

n e t f l i x

[lilac siren]

circle

[ivory stratus]

My friend said he was asked sys designs in Microsoft

Fiuuuuck

Didn’t realize so many did

[gray niche]

all of those companies right to jail

[lilac siren]

Bbg may ask in ‘em round

[wheat seal]

Flexport too

[whole berry]

alright

i just caught up on some of this chat

goddamn too many messages

[austere grove]

Isn’t this expected

Almost every company has asked me system design for new grad

[marble bronze]

What constitutes system design?

[fresh lagoon]

Design twitter

[verbal bay]

u guys get interviews? 😭

[fresh lagoon]

Yeah there's some smaller companies that do legit sys design, but even then u don't need to be an expert at fault tolerance and stuff

[hexed moth]

honestly those are the most fun problems

imo

[modest night]

this might be a dumb question but how does one even get a structured understanding of systems designs through random swe jobs

[fresh lagoon]

Have to understand the product u work on, and probably you'll be designing features that build into that

But I think my job is more dist systems focused that most I can see how you wouldn't get it for some roles

[modest night]

after couple internships i have 0 grasp on wat a system designs is supposed to be which is why i asked lmao

[lilac siren]

Lol

[thorny crown]

has anyone here interviewed for google apm?

[maiden fable]

What is a good source for learning sys design?

[rain patio]

Did anyone take PMG cognitive test?

[dark berry]

hey, could anyone recommed sources to learn networks and sys design (for a technical interview)

[exotic lintel]

the questions are vary

sometimes they ask interface abstract, sometimes functional vs class, token authorization

[exotic lintel]

alex xu system design I THINK

he talks about database, load balancer for cluster of servers and horizontal scailing, Reddis for cache which is good for rate limiter, master slave database, Twitter number

i am reading but so far he said API endpoints, database schema is optional in sys design

do u think they ask exactly this question in interview ?

[tardy geode]

na

skip this

part

[wild pewter]

u guys do 1,2,4 on codesignal gca or 1,2,3?

[foggy perch]

1 2 4

1 2 3 results usually not good enough to pass most places

[wild pewter]

i see, yeah thats what I heard too

[uneven grove]

Here’s the breakdown of scores based on questions completed

[rare jetty]

anyone leetcode god help me get 800 codesignal?

[slate bobcat]

[vast rock]

has anyone gotten pinterest reach out after OA recently? felt like i saw a wave of reachouts last week or early this week but went quiet

[dusty basin]

I was gonna respond with a shitpost but it’s too early for this shit kush

I’m going back to sleep

[floral plank]

I heard back after 3 days of submitting OA

[vast rock]

When did u submit? Early this week?

Dam plz dont ghost me pinterest

[floral plank]

Monday, heard back on Thursday

[floral plank]

We got the same score I think

[austere grove]

I got resume rejected by pinshit

[vast rock]

Oh ur also 819?

[floral plank]

Yea

[vast rock]

Ah i submitted Tuesday i think

Maybe i wait a bit hehe

Ur my hopium ty

[austere grove]

Didn’t even get a code signal

[patent gyro]

anyone got IXL OA?

[young peak]

Don't do it man

WITCH ain't worth it

[patent gyro]

do it for me too lol plss

[austere grove]

uh i mgiht be wrong but you'll probably get leveled to junior

[slate bobcat]

@dusty basin you have a new customer

[timber zealot]

what makes you say that?

[austere grove]

i feel like a senior at fang does diff work than a 4 yoe at a prop shop

senior at fang does more teamlead related stuff right relative to the 4 yoe at prop shop (who is almost certainly a pure IC)

[crude saffron]

Depends on how good the prop shop is

[timber zealot]

IMC

[timber zealot]

hm, I do tend to be stronger with people skills than strict coding

[teal jackal]

Me too

[austere grove]

https://www.teamblind.com/post/HFT-to-Tech-switch-AGLCq281 this seems pretty relevant @timber zealot

[crude saffron]

I don’t ever plan on doing tech

[austere grove]

why would you as a trader

i feel like it's kinda valid tho if ur a swe

DS roles in faang are kinda shitty rihg tlol

i guess you could get research scientist tho

[foggy perch]

swapping from hft to tech late careers sounds kinda chill

just coast after earning your bag at an hft

[austere grove]

i think th eproblem is it seems you get down leveled to junior cuz the skillsets of senior swe in tradng and tech diverge too much

[timber zealot]

where are DS roles best?

[austere grove]

like applied scientist/research scientist/ML stuff get paid a lot and are in demand at most tech companies

might not be that bad

uh they might have phd reqs tho

[wintry plinth]

does roblox do system design

[teal jackal]

Yeah tbh that's why I'm concerned about getting pigeonholed in tech
