#

Yeah because it’s impractical to memorize code

If you can understand the process it’s way easier

fervent drift
#

indeed, also is pltr a good app? like should i go for it or no

At this economy if you had a low ball offer would you take it or wait it out until more companies open up their new grad application?

floral plank
#

it depends

#

like do you already have an offer?

fervent drift
#

applying for ng in late sep is late as fuck isnt it

grand summit
#

no specific info but return offer deadlines are early oct so maybe around then?

#

I've got BB final next week in person. Apparently gonna be done on a whiteboard, first time whiteboarding for me

outer radish
#

btw what's everyone's advice for being super cracked at LC but with only like 2/3 weeks

foggy perch
#

i'm so sad bb doesn't even pay for referring people smh

west egret
#

Yeah I don’t think I have problems with giving referrals if I was ever in the position to give one lol

Everyone I know that's super cracked at LC has been doing it for a while

Can i get a bb referral they rejected me

foggy perch

i'll probs have to see what bb wlb actually entails

outer radish
#

but im solid on the other three

foggy perch
#

since im tryna maximize C++ learning and see where I go from there

autumn ridge
#

Usual advice is neetcode 150 and study patterns. I like to use anki flashcards where I just put the problem statement and the pattern to solve it.

smoky lodge

#

At the end, there’s gonna be RNG too.

#

I got resume reject from bb mfs didnt even give me oa and resume is decent to atleast get oa

hasty birch
foggy perch
#

meh you can get cracked enough to solve LC Easy/Medium (Not DP) if you just grind out neetcode 150 or blind 75

autumn ridge
lone rapids
#

Man why bb is it because of sponsorship

outer radish
#

or smaller test cases i mean

small sinew
#

would it be stupid to apply for ng and internships to the same company

smoky lodge
#

i think people over-estimate how hard it is to get good at LC

autumn ridge
#

Also I've really enjoyed binarysearch.com for just rapid fire seeing a lot of problems

smoky lodge
#

everyone says 3 months to get good at LC but i feel like 1 is fine if you're going all out

hasty birch
foggy perch
ivory stratus
foggy perch
#

if you mean Easy/Medium (Not DP) it's doable

foggy perch
#

if you want to get good at LC Hard, DP, and Greedy problems it's a lot more rough

#

imo

smoky lodge
hasty birch
ivory stratus
#

Yeah but to get good enough to interview, it’s really not bad it seems like

foggy perch
smoky lodge
#

"cracked" is like you walk into any technical interview, slam you're dick on the table and then move to the next round

autumn ridge
#

I think it depends on how smart you are first off and then secondly what your school teaches and how far you into your schools DSA circulmn. I tried to LC during my second ever programming course at uni having 0 previous experience before college and it felt impossible

How quickly should I email my bb recruiter abt reminding him I have an pending offer. I don’t want to sound pushy but my offer deadline in on Monday and I just finished my EM round lol

oh ye I've been at verbal offer for a while

I'm just waiting for them to finalize the offer letter

sour night

#

like < 1 week

#

but this was early in the season

#

before the app craze started

smoky lodge
#

i feel like i've had terrible rng not just in interviews but in life the last like decade or so

#

why tf is there a recession happening for the first time in like 15 years right when im graduating

#

like bruh

sour night
# foggy perch like < 1 week

Gotchu u think it’s worth sending a follow-up to my recruiter even tho I had mine today? I to accept/decline my offer from from another company by Monday

sour night
#

True

smoky lodge
autumn ridge
#

I don't know why but sometimes I panic about how much rng their is in technical interviews and just getting hired in general. Like lets say you have 70% chance of passing any given technical interview. Like their is someone out there who just has gotten absolutely shafted on 30 interviews in a row

sour night
#

I also got another offer since I talked to my recruiter. Is it worth telling them rn or should I tell them after I get my offer (if I do)?

smoky lodge
#

i literally have a meta refferal from someone but i can't use it cuz there's no job openings to use it for

sour night
west egret
smoky lodge
#

the question for me is how long does the recession last

#

like does hiring go back to normal next year

#

or is it gonna be like this til like 2025

smoky lodge
# round lake What is GCA?

code signal, it's 4 questions, the first 2 are gimmes, the 3rd is an implementation heavy question that's straightforward but has a lot of code, and the 4th is a tricky algo problem that needs to be optimal

bro

lament summit
#

but amazon or forward?

slender apex
#

u gotta leave some for the rest up lmao, we picking at scraps here

dusky plover
#

i would say go to amazon for 1-2 years until they start waving the pip stick and hop

slender apex
#

id say amazon, good upward mobility and safety

lament summit
#

thats what im thinking, forward is too risky for a ng

slender apex
#

its good for a first, entry level job

dusky plover
#

look into their wlb on blind

foggy perch
lament summit
dusky plover
#

if its an early startup they might work u harder than amazon lmao

lament summit
#

wlb isnt that important for me i dont mind grinding my first few years

#

forward might look better than amazon on my resume

smoky lodge
#

there was a guy who accepted like 20-30 offers and it took months before he got caught but he made over a million dollars

lament summit
#

plus its already on my resume as i interned at amazon

smoky lodge
slender apex
#

homie trying to retire in a year

smoky lodge
#

exactly

#

if working a bunch of entry roles simulataneously for a few month is enough to bring in a 1 mil, imagine what the money would be if it were senior roles

#

obvsly you'd never get hired ever again

#

but who cares

slender apex
#

roughyl 3-4 times more id guess

#

i mean thats one way to think about it

Then u golden. I wish i got return too lol

I'd only choose Forward if you could somehow Nego their non-fake money TC to be close to Amazon

lament summit

#

id say amazon stock is p gud rn, prob going to dip for a bit more but youll def get money back in a few years

#

so id argue for more as well

lament summit
#

ngl id say ppl at forward are smarter than amazon

#

How is hrt codesignal ?

lament summit
#

so thats what im also considering lol

foggy perch
#

normal

boreal cloak
#

Is it just normal codesignal ?

slender apex
#

but u have to get above a 850

autumn ridge
# dusky plover for newgrad

I'm seeing some weird outliers on levels. Like it's from 85-120 and then theirs a couple 0 years exp 140-170

boreal cloak
#

Okay. What all companies give codesignal

#

So I can try lol

night magnet
slender apex
#

and solve the hidden fifth problem

slender apex

especially if they are paying by total value and not by amount

smoky lodge
#

does anyone know what samsara's cut off is?

dusky plover
#

also theyre not hiring rn are they :p

#

hardly see anyone talk about them here

smoky lodge
#

question for you guys, if someone is unsure if they can do question 4 on code signal, but am sure that they can do question 3, should they just do question 3

#

bcuz getting 1, 2, and 3, is better than getting 1 and 2, not finishing 4 and then not having enough time for 4

i see, like i didnt have a single bad interaction so far for me at least

azure zephyr

forward gives the vibe they want you to die for the company

lament summit
#

i really liked everyone i spoke to

autumn ridge
azure zephyr
#

i wouldn't risk it personally, i imagine the wlb will be terrible and idk if its worth the trade off, plus i heard TC is 120k in san fran, amzn will have higher offer

lament summit
#

lol

azure zephyr
#

ah i see

lament summit
#

but yeah base is p low

azure zephyr
#

well it seems like youre leaning more towards forward then

lament summit
#

i think the people at forward are def smarter than amazon

#

at least the younger folks

azure zephyr
#

120k base is good, just idk if its worth for what i feel like theyll put you through

#

what do you care about most when picking your first job? learning? career progression?

what to expect in morgan stanley hirevue video interview ?

azure zephyr
#

i just emailed them for extension on the assessments and they responded instantly with a two week extension so maybe they are still interviewing?

shoot okay, i only did one of the cognitive assessments before i was like fuck this lmao

Codesignal is almost always before resume screen

For citadel interview, do you have to interview in C++?

Anyone else getting ghosted by JPMC despite doing OA weeks ago? Did they meet headcount too?

foggy perch
#

the way I've seen it is Pinterest resume screen -> Codesignal -> If your codesignal is > 820 you're basically guaranteed for phone, or if you get < 800 you might get phone with a super good resume

chilly burrow
#

I was mistaken

I thought this was the recruiter phone

I was saying to me the recruiter phone felt informational

Yeah like I got an email to schedule the recruiter phone

Hmm I guess if there wasn’t a possibility of rejection they would just move you straight to technical?

Otherwise why have an informational call when it could be an email

I bungled those last year

Case u can’t rly study for its not too hard tho this ur at least

#

FYI there’s 3 coding bugs to catch in the case so catch them all

#

Technical just know how to use hashmaps

That’s all I used

Basically the fnaf mediocrity ending

It's extremely early

Great upside

#

Stripe is overvalued afaik (even with it's current valuation cut)

So imo Anyscale > Databricks > Stripe

They're all very good

i think anyscale wlb is absolutely atrocious though, so keep that in mind

But Anyscale has the most upside potential imo

much higher potential than db and stripe, but prob more risk too

chilly burrow
#

It's the same story as DB

bronze nymph
#

true, i dont think they will fail, by risk i mean waiting like a decade for ipo

jade ruin
#

For anyscale, I think the risk is a bit lower, but any liquidation event will be years away at least

bronze nymph
#

im assuming they have a strong cash component regardless

chilly burrow

So there'll def be vc interest

#

if you go to an early stage company like anyscale, are you trapped there until they ipo or get acquired? which cant take years?

#

cant be getting a new job every 1/2 years then

tho you may not be able to participate in internal buybacks

for like 3 months no?

runic wind

Nah, most allow you to keep them forever*

You gotta exercise within certain time frame I think you can hold stocks tho

runic wind

Yep, you may be forced to exercise tho true

calm shale

right i think you have to buy it which was the problem

#

for that one uber dude

I gotta exercise within 6months of leaving 😭

250k tech vs 350k quant swe, what would y'all pick

teal jackal
sage hawk
#

I feel like even L4 in tech wouldn't reach 350

#

But a lot of that is year end bonus

elder hull
#

tech for me

foggy perch
#

i'd choose the latter

sage hawk
#

Wait why

elder hull
#

but if it's over 400 i'll go quant

sage hawk
sage hawk
#

If you're after career progression, you probably don't care about wlb all that much

foggy perch
#

i think people overrate the speed at which tech salaries catch up to quant

#

I feel like it takes a while and by the time you reach the 10-20 year mark quant people will have probs made way more

#

or even are retired

sage hawk
#

I wanna do tech too
But it'll be really hard to say no to 100k

bronze nymph
foggy perch
bronze nymph
#

yea^^^

sage hawk
#

Yeah assume elite quants, lol

bronze nymph
#

exactly

#

you can hit a 1mil bonus (arbitrary number) if you make enough for the firm as a quant, this is near impossible as a swe

sage hawk
#

Yeah QR salaries are ridiculous if you're good

#

But believe me tech people are paid really well too, especially at high freq desks

#

Like 2020 bonuses were insane

foggy perch
#

eh even quant swe make a good chunk

sage hawk
bronze nymph
#

i probably would be, but i’m making more of a blanket statement which is probably inherently flawed

sage hawk
#

Which isn't the norm, but there is gonna be recession soon hopefully lol

elder hull
#

include YOE if possible

sage hawk
#

I know 2 cit swes with 3 yoe that got 1M+ bonus in 2020

Low latency teams

elder hull
#

I assume they'll get similar this year

muted spear
#

Does databricks call to reject

sage hawk
#

This is bs

muted spear
#

Rip

#

How do they give offers

bronze nymph
#

i think for your case specifically it comes down to interest. if you like tech and want to stay in it, you certainly won’t be broke

#

but if you want to chase the bigger quant bag more power to you

muted spear
#

Oh I thought it was call only to reject

sage hawk
#

Like do you think shifting later would be possible

#

After a year or two

elder hull
sage hawk
#

Will that be a career setback tho

bronze nymph
#

yea quant firms definitely headhunt from tech heavily, but you have it in hand now and it’s hard to pass up if you want to go in that direction

sage hawk
#

Yeah it's a really good team too, core stuff

#

But tech is great too

bronze nymph
#

i don’t have any experience in this front KEKW

sage hawk
#

Should I ask in fulltimers

#

Very confused ngl

bronze nymph

idk how many people would know, but it’s worth a shot

Is datadog worth considering over google?

Tho no free food

also ddog has catered lunch mondays wednesdays fridays but they serve leftovers tuesday thursday from the previous day

#

Holy shit it's the mod

nocturne oriole
#

Even normal fulltime i might consider. Look into their culture. If u like office life good food and i guess u think team will be good

#

Datadog is great

#

From what i hear

#

Honestly take the $

#

And keep eye on stock. Ddog seems thriving and stable tho

#

If it was bad then G

#

True but google doing wack things like slashing budget for business travel

#

Before u know it they not serving food they are serving lunchables

sage hawk

That's um
Better than laying off 11% of their workforce

@dire ore i would probably just go to the team/manager you like more 🙂

@echo finch can you quickly interview and get an offer

This is the top post

@dire ore did you accept google return offer?

dire ore
#

PA matching tho my manager guaranteed me an offer once headcount is decided in 2-3 weeks

#

I’d say when are you available to start is a good sign

#

What PA

crude saffron
#

why not accept roblox and renege if g gives u offer

dire ore
#

Yeah most likely@going to blox then

#

Cuz google can match roblox

gilded dust
#

Is google ng tc that high?

#

Why is the tc super low on levels

dire ore
#

Yeah it can go that high

gilded dust
#

You need a counter offer right?

dire ore
#

Yep

#

Most anyone has got is 280k

runic wind
#

Do they match upto 280k automatically?

lilac locust
#

hi guys

runic wind
#

Like if you submit a 280+ offer

lilac locust
#

i have a question

dire ore
#

Or is all cash

#

They discount paper money. Someone for example with 297k stripe offer will get a counter offer of 274k from Google. This is a real datapoint

and how do they know if it's cap

That's atleast what a few people in mountainview were saying

foggy perch

not like people are tracking who's going to the fridge 24/7 right

young peak

or CCTV

lone rapids

I just asked the recruiter when will i receive update after oa. He said within 2 weeks.

Cuz in Bay Area the max is like 280ish

Man I honestly still don't get why you picked G

Like why did you

#

Can I dm

foggy perch

man likes tech

young peak
#

I'm pretty open with it no worries

#

I had a lot of reasons. WLB, internal mobility and future career trajectory were major players

foggy perch
#

true

#

do you think you'll make more money in tech vs HFT long-term?

runic wind
#

Can't you just go back to tech after 2-3 years anyway?

foggy perch
#

or is it more about wlb in that regard

runic wind
#

Like wasn't leaving ~100K hard

dire ore

My friend got an insane offer from cit this year

#

They upped their game

runic wind

dire ore

Yeah

runic wind
#

What is it 👀

dire ore
#

Won’t say exact but somewhere in the range 450-550k

It’s crazy

Depends on interview perf

crude saffron

yea

#

trader is super high

foggy perch

damn I'd do a lot of things for 450-550k a year

runic wind

is happening

dire ore
#

Apparently his citadel final interview was a joke too

#

2 mediums and 1 basic system design interview

foggy perch
#

meh quant trader pay being super high makes sense to me

#

since if you fuck up you just get insta fired right

runic wind

I think they don't even get to trade for like 6-8mo

crude saffron

not rly

runic wind

Man I hope my cit interview is a joke too prayge

foggy perch

maybe I'll try to job hop to HFT once I get better at C++ and systems

Has anyone gotten Final Round request after 2 VO rounds from bloomberg? The title of the email says final round request but it's 45 min with a senior engineer. Doesn't mention anything about engineering manager. Anyone know whats up? Idk if this is my EM round or if I didn't do well enough in VO so they want an additional VO round

static moth
# dire ore Average 2.5 years

so at datadog, to midlevel it's usually a year to a year and a half (according to my recruiter). but return interns have gotten it in a year or "within a year" according to my manager's manager. idk how accurate it is or if he was just tryna entice me to come back lol but ya

dire ore
#

I’m pretty suspect of recruiters nowadays

#

I’d imagine it is pretty slow tho

#

IIRC the people who got promoted in 1 year from l3 ->l4 is a extremely small number

foggy perch
#

job of a recruiter is just to bait you in after all

dire ore
#

Like ~2% of the l3s who GOT promoted that year did it in 1 year. Not just the entire population of l3s

Really only 1 of 2 outcomes

  1. New financial year comes, budgets are renewed TC refills to come extent (good ending)
  2. New financial year comes, budgets are rebalances against a stalling economy and ongoing inflation, and a decision is made to kill the TC for new grads for the upcoming FY, or at least for the upcoming 1st half.
