ooooh

#

Wow... I asked for a location that apparently needs approval and I still haven't gotten anything.

teal jackal
#

karat redo was harder than the first one

night magnet
#

Oh

teal jackal
#

lmao

night magnet
#

That’s def the holdup

rain patio
#

The recruiter won't even tell me how long just that they would follow up with the appropriate people

twilit wasp
night magnet
#

Oh weird

night magnet
teal jackal
#

karat redo was harder than the first one
i was like 3 minutes away from finishing my dfs
interviewer ended like 4 minutes early

#

honestly regret doing a redo

twilit wasp
#

i mean they take the best of the two i believe

teal jackal
#

honestly regret doing a redo
everyone told me to sign up for one anyways

rain patio
#

@night magnet which office did you choose. I heaard from my recruiter that NYC and SF was full.

night magnet
#

I’m in McLean

rain patio
#

wow nice!

#

I just don't feel safe until I get the actual offer letter since all these companies are doing hiring freezes and layoffs

twilit wasp
#

(even with an offer letter they can rescind it ...) -> my biggest fear rn PepeHands

night magnet
#

Ya

#

if I'm graduating in summer 2023, can i apply for winter 2023 internship roles?

#

or do I need a full semester between internship end and graduation

teal jackal
#

i got spooked since the cancellation email for my karat never arrived
people say that theyll cancel the redo if you did well
or say "no need to redo"
if u clikc the redo button

#

tbh i hope i pass
i got 2.5/3 on the second karat
interviewer was very monotone
didnt seem to like me much

#

the first karat i got 3/3 and interviewer was chill and nice

#

second guy was not very cash money
second guy said tho that he knew time was short, apparently i should get partial credit on p3 for having an idea and being almost done implementing it

floral plank
#

I think you are fine

#

You did good on both

ivory stratus
#

For those that were wondering if you can apply for new grad after you graduate within a year

twilit wasp
#

so you've started all 3 questions

teal jackal
#

Yeah

ivory stratus
#

At least for msft

teal jackal
#

Conveyed an implementation strategy and 95% done implementing

teal jackal
#

Pog

twilit wasp
#

ngl, im thinking of applying for internship and pretend that im going for masters after the internship

#

and then be like, oh, changed my mind, can i get a full time job?

teal jackal
#

Yeah hahaha good idea

#

Tbh internships rn are the only way to get a prestigious job

#

Prestigious companies have low headcount this year

#

Tech bubble ended the year we were supposed to join SadgeClown

twilit wasp
#

but i feel like it's a bit too late to apply for internship?

outer radish
#

tbh this was a long time coming

twilit wasp
#

at least at this time last year i already had an internship offer

outer radish
#

companies were hiring insane amounts of people last year

teal jackal
#

Tech bubble was inevitably gonna burst not gonna lie

compact obsidian
teal jackal
#

But I hate that I missed out on it

#

Due to my skill issues and due to bad luck

compact obsidian
#

there's a reason why companies are still doing intern but not new grad

outer radish
#

they have to have new talent

teal jackal
#

I feel like I'm not going to forgive myself for letting this happen

compact obsidian
#

if headcount is filled there's nothing recruiters can do

twilit wasp
#

you never know how it will be in a year time hahah

#

xD

outer radish
#

or when the older devs retire, they are going to be behind in developers

low scroll
outer radish
#

developer cycle

teal jackal
#

Honestly it depresses me, I might miss out on one of the best bubbles of all time and never even get a chance to be a part of it

#

Or ride the perks of the bubble

#

Part skill issue(being too autistic for a return offer)

#

And part awful luck

twilit wasp
compact obsidian
#

ye in a good economy it would work

twilit wasp
#

(Speaking for london)

compact obsidian
#

but assuming you're going for a summer internship

twilit wasp
#

Which is going through a shit show rn

compact obsidian
#

then you'll finish and ask for a new grad job with the same headcount which is currently being recruited

#

so probably filled

twilit wasp
#

Tbf, some have signed now but found something better

#

So the headcount will vary i think

low scroll
#

@twilit wasp how you plan on executing this strat?

#

are you gonna apply for masters?

ivory stratus
compact obsidian
#

i had a friend who tried it w/ stripe

#

did not work

#

he's just kinda chillin around for a year now

#

which isn't terrible

twilit wasp
#

If the pound keeps falling? Im international so it’s going to increase my student debt

compact obsidian
#

not the end of the world

ivory stratus
#

Plus if you try that and you get caught, it’ll probably be a pretty shitty situation

compact obsidian
#

well the thing is he really did have a masters program goin on

#

it's just that he would've dropped if he got the fulltime

#

no offer in hand, no dogesmile

outer radish
#

if you're an experienced dev, of course the company would want to hire you - prestige is literally a fake concept lmao

#

like yeah maybe ur internship might have some clout attached to it, but if ur a dev in the open world and ur good at what u do - you'll be metro booming

teal jackal
#

Actual experience is more important?

#

I am happy to hear that I was very wrong

#

Actually

#

I want to be wrong with my confirmation bias

#

In this case

#

It's good hopium

#

I've lost hope in being part of the tech bubble

#

Race against time for me

low scroll
#

dwag chill

#

we're in a recession

#

tech jobs still projected to multiply

#

this is short term

ivory stratus
#

Yeah it just sucks short term

#

But we’ll all be fine

twilit wasp
#

😭

outer radish
#

matter of fact, computers are playing an even larger part in almost every facet of life

west egret
#

Lets face it. We’ll prob be alright compared to the average CS student

outer radish
#

i swear to mf god i was talking to a fridge inside home depot

west egret
#

If we’re fucked, then imagine what ppl with no internships who don’t grind LC will do

low scroll
#

just level up your skills rn so you can thrive after recession is over

outer radish
#

like if im stressing this hard now, what the fuck is someone that didnt do internships or lc thinking

teal jackal
#

I know that I'll probably be applying for jobs until December 2023 until I get ~110k base and 130k tc at a minimum

#

I won't give up

low scroll
#

stay grinding

teal jackal
#

I will apply for new grad until I am no longer allowed to

west egret

i'm assuming you have a place to stay at with food even if you don't land a job right out of grad

I graduate may 2023 but I'm planning on moving back home and leaving campus early

think long term

#

it'll probably be better for your mental health too

teal jackal

Yeah tbh I prefer family over friends

I’ve bugged a bunch of family and friends about this and have done some math and I would have about the same amount of disposable income after cost of living and taxes. What are random people’s thoughts?

Mostly mediums for graphs n trees

I suggest Kirb350 for Design questions prep

hmm but no dp for u right

If u want frame of reference it was almost as hard as G

compact obsidian

recruiting is always hard RNG everywhere (except maybe quant, where it's just hard)

a high schooler could've passed my msft intern interview

but i heard some of my other friends got like topo sort + union find on their msft interviews

#

which isn't terribly difficult but it's nontrivial

runic wind
#

quant is hard + rng too

gloomy terrace
#

on the whole google is kinda like netflix where getting an interview is harder than the interview

runic wind

they want 0 false positives, so the rng is skewed

quant very hard i keep getting codeforces problems

anybody else feel like they're doomed

for quant? or tech?

My experience interviewing is pretty broad except for quants and some other famously hard places. I have done startups like brex, affirm, and pure storage as well. Google to me is like the bottom of the hardest tier if u forced me to say

quant tech doesn't have headhunting for ng

why would it be better when the recession hasn't hit yet
