[azure zephyr]

see it all over my linkedin

[wheat seal]

They just started in 2017

[vast rock]

wait has anyone gotten HR calls for roblox? wtf is that? why do i find some ppl have roblox HR call and some ppl dont

[teal jackal]

qualtrics gained my respect for communicating clearly whether or not they will be hiring, even though they could have ghosted and nobody would have noticed

[wheat seal]

2017 they had like 300 engineers

[wheat seal]

Yea they are pretty transparent

[rain patio]

don't know if this matters but he specifically told me he wasn't looking for the answer just discussion but when i got a follow up math question wrong there was always an awkward pause afterwards lol

honestly i'm going offline until i hear back. this is killing me since I put my all into this and I got screwed over. just my luck

[frank wedge]

Like 10 days

[wheat seal]

But going back to ur question. profit margins are increasing each quarter and they grew to like 300 engineers in 2017 to now 1400 engineers. And team I’m on right now is pretty small - like just a handful of devs. I think hiring is justified I’m just overly worrying ig since we r basically a growth stock

But b2b as well so ig it saves us a little but idk

But I think I should start looking in case

[teal jackal]

yeah that makes sense

[wheat seal]

Been here for like 4 months

[wheat seal]

Likes snacks have toned down a lot in office

They have legit peanut butter but no crackers or bread

Still some protein bars and free lunch

But it’s like they are really cutting budget due to recession

[azure zephyr]

omg this is so sad hahaha

[wheat seal]

Yea haha

I was like wth

Went into office

But to be fair it happened when

They announced return to office

Ig because they didn’t know how many would show up

[lament summit]

damn 10 days

[wheat seal]

[wicked rivet]

or was the location just shite

[teal jackal]

tbh im location agnostic

id live in fairbanks alaska for enough tc

[wicked rivet]

being in nyc for the summer has ruined me bc nothing else compares anymore

[late kestrel]

me too cuz my gf is gonna be in the middle of bumfuk no where after grad

so no way i end up in the same place

[teal jackal]

is there any reason why your girlfriend is middle of nowhere

i do not have a girlfriend

i am terminally single lol

[wicked rivet]

chicago offer

sounds like a quant

or flexport appraently

[late kestrel]

and jd is in like moline il

[compact obsidian]

@ nyc ppl how do u afford housing

i heard u live in nj and just accept the commute to nyc?

[wicked rivet]

you can afford nyc with a swe comp lol

its bad but its not that bad

[compact obsidian]

ye but im running calcs online and they're saying 200k NYc is like 130 redmond or smt lol

[late kestrel]

im already assuming id need a roommate if i get a job in nyc

[wicked rivet]

around 3k for a solid studio, 1.5-3k for 2bed if you want roommates

[west egret]

CS students here act like six figure salary is poverty and they'll have to eat ramen noodles every night

[rain patio]

I want to get a job in NYC... already have a house in upper west

So stressful

[teal jackal]

i like boston area

i would like to stay in boston area

[vestal pelican]

NYC is overrated

Unless u already have fam there

[teal jackal]

my parents have a really nice luxury suv that i can drive to work if i stay in boston

[rain patio]

• that

[wicked rivet]

what ab nyc was overrated

[rain patio]

Why do anyone want to come live in NYC.. jesus

[late kestrel]

cuz cities are fun when youre young

[vestal pelican]

Bay area 100%

[wicked rivet]

walkability + diversity + food + every event ever goes through there + dating scene + nightlife

[teal jackal]

cars are more fun

but tbh i need to eventually stop acting terminally single

eventually im gonna get bored of being myself

[compact obsidian]

cars

[rain patio]

CS majors dont need fun

🙂

[teal jackal]

my parents have a sick ass SUV, jaguar f pace

[vestal pelican]

When I was at the bay it felt like the average age was around 25

[teal jackal]

burns 93 octane gas and goes 0-60 briskly

powering all 4 wheels

its sick

[wicked pendant]

i wanna go nyc bc im gay and also i hate driving :peepoyay:

[vestal pelican]

Buncha young SWE go out to eat everyday cuz they can't cook lol

[wheat seal]

Yea it’s goated

Who’d want to go to Seattle or bay

[vestal pelican]

I never seen so many restaurants packed

[wheat seal]

Instead of nyc

[wicked rivet]

i also despise driving

[teal jackal]

i cancelled my housing for spring 2023, im gonna be driving my dads jaguar suv to campus

[vestal pelican]

Me

[teal jackal]

since i only have one class left anyways

im gonna look like a chinese int

[compact obsidian]

seattle is cheap compared to nyc

[wheat seal]

I’d take Seattle?

[wheat seal]

It’s boring tho

[teal jackal]

nah seattle sucks, it is not that fun of a city

capitol hill gets old fast

[compact obsidian]

but muh muney

[wheat seal]

And homeless runs the place

[teal jackal]

seattle has bad public transit

is sus at night

[rain patio]

oh sht

[vestal pelican]

I would take bay over NYC but maybe take NYC over Seattle

[rain patio]

uber and doordash

[wicked pendant]

seattle transit isnt bad, also if u like nature its cool

[teal jackal]

the only really walkable areas are downtown + SLU + chinatown + cap hill

otherwise youre stuck in the city with no car

[wheat seal]

It’s good imo. Like it’s clean. Just hella sus. Ppl camp out by bus stops

Nyc isn’t that bad if h live in Astoria

[vestal pelican]

It's Bay > Chicago > LA > NYC > Seattle for me

[teal jackal]

seattle isnt that bad, it just gets old fast

[wheat seal]

It’s cheap there

[wheat seal]

Why bay?

Bay is my least favorite

[compact obsidian]

all my friends in bay so i'd like to be in bay :]

[vestal pelican]

The best tech scene, one of the most beautiful natural area, super diverse and young

[wheat seal]

Nyc > Austin > Seattle > Chicago > bag

[wheat seal]

Everything is remote now anyways

[wicked pendant]

sf would be ok to me but i think id die in scv

[wheat seal]

Doesn’t really matter to me

[vestal pelican]

You can literally go surfing and snowboarding the same day in Cali lol

[late kestrel]

chicago is so fun, and relatively cheap. would recommend

[compact obsidian]

chicago doesnt seem like it has huge tech

besides fintech

[azure zephyr]

but how's the nightlife in the bay? feel like seattle is better for that

[wheat seal]

I think I’d want to live in Austin or Texas

[teal jackal]

ill be driving this to school next semester

[prime palm]

seattle nightlife was OKAY at best

[vestal pelican]

I saw beaches like these every weekend

[prime palm]

sometimes it was dead

[teal jackal]

its dead outside of cap hill

[wheat seal]

Austin or NYC is the best for me

[wheat seal]

Facts lol

[prime palm]

yeah pretty much

[wheat seal]

cap hill and belltown

[teal jackal]

belltown had nightlife?

tbh i didnt notice much there

[wheat seal]

Yes saravejo

[azure zephyr]

damnnnn hows the local music scene tho?

[low scroll]

is this baker beach

[wheat seal]

Belltown is good

And cap hill

[low scroll]

wait no

not baker

[vestal pelican]

Nah this China Cove Beach in Monterey

[wicked pendant]

i always walked by some gay bar in cap hill that was always chanting some shit like whooooo suck some dick at like 7 pm 😭

[low scroll]

ah i see

it reminded me of rodeo beach near sf

[vestal pelican]

This hike is crazy in sf

[low scroll]

this is rodeo

[low scroll]

they look so similar bruh

same beach, different day

[low scroll]

lands end?

[vestal pelican]

I think it was mile rock

[low scroll]

[vestal pelican]

True lol

[teal jackal]

seattle has good nature, apparently theres buses to popular hiking spots

[vestal pelican]

I really have drive on Pacific coast highway

[strange ore]

Does anyone know what's happening with Amazon? I know some people who got "waitlisted" post-final with Amazon saying there's not enough space but #2023_grad_process is still showing the process popping off

[tardy geode]

[lethal turret]

[teal jackal]

My blizzard intern friend just got put into the credits for world of Warcraft

[strange ore]

Yea cloud services has been going crazy recently

[faint igloo]

[strange ore]

It's possible but there's still a bunch of !process amazon OA going around

[formal fable]

[split plaza]

~20 years of life and basically nothing to show for it 😔

[livid yew]

Damn I was making $26/hr at my internship, y'all are crazy

[wheat seal]

Inflation tho

It probably pays $30 now

[livid yew]

True. This was 2017

[wheat seal]

Prob pays $30/hr

Now

[livid yew]

Most of you probably were not in college yet in 2017

[wheat seal]

A ton in the past 5 years

[livid yew]

Yep

Yep

Idk though I've not really noticed the inflation much lol

[wheat seal]

Buy anything tbh

Google stock

Msft stock

Anything is good

Google is gonna go up

For sure

Idk about meta, but I think it will also go up too

[livid yew]

Like sure my trader Joe's receipt went from like $37 to $40 lol it's not that bad

[brittle sigil]

i got hella lucky with 2 easier mediums on gap oa but like a dumbass went to discord for like 30 seconds in the middle of it as if it was some homework assignment 😭

hopefully they don't care

[livid yew]

This is false lmao

[onyx axle]

Does anyone know what to expect for akuna capital technical 1 hour interview? Junior python role

[umbral plover]

dont have an offer, yet at least, but i heard they dont negotiate

i have the same question but about netflix, does anybody know if they negotiate new grad offers?

[old smelt]

they do not from what i have seen

[umbral plover]

okok pls lmk 🙏🙏

[smoky lodge]

Cuz you suck lol get fucked

[umbral plover]

also just curious how long of a offer deadline did netflix give you?

they gave me 1 week as well

its coming up this friday

ya

and i havent heard back from two sigma and roblox yet 😭😭

did u try extending it?

ok i think i should ask to extend and then if i can get roblox or two sigma offer then try negotiating it

roblox tc is higher tho like 220 recurring

[low scroll]

😭

man dont give af

[rustic vessel]

Roblox seems pretty unstable ngl

Also both times I interviewed there the directors had a shit attitude

[compact obsidian]

i think msft is relatively stable

[last belfry]

Anyone know if Bloomberg sends rejections quicker than next steps (after phone)

[compact obsidian]

only thing ppl really complain about there is shit pay and legacy code

[nocturne oriole]

They froze hiring but yeah stable

Hard to tell where tech companies will be in 3mo

When recession goes full swing

[wheat seal]

I mean companies that are b2b will be good and Same with faang just because they have a ton of cash reserved

[austere grove]

All the fang besides meta are stable

Even meta isn’t that unstable

[wheat seal]

Meta is unpredictable yea

[austere grove]

They still all make a ton of profit

They are just trimming fat

[wheat seal]

Yea when ppl say google may do layoffs I find it kinda odd

I mean they are on top rn compared to other companies

[nocturne oriole]

Uhh i can tell u things are heating up

Very quick

Very badly

[austere grove]

Oh I know but

They don’t need to lay off anyone

It’s just a good excuse for them to

[wheat seal]

Yea just natural attrition + tons of cash reserve

[austere grove]

A company like Snapchat needs to lay off people

[nocturne oriole]

Yep the startups nature i get what u mean

[austere grove]

A company like meta doesn’t need to to survive but they want to boost their stock prices

[nocturne oriole]

The numbers at meta are gonna be big tho

10 to 15%

[wheat seal]

What layoffs?

[austere grove]

Isn’t this just a pip rating

Like only half actually get pipped right

[nocturne oriole]

Yes just pip

Nobody knows how many will get laid off in the pip pipeline

[austere grove]

Oh

[nocturne oriole]

But nobody trusts leadership rn

[wheat seal]

Leadership says the same thing “we won’t be doing layoffs”?

[austere grove]

They said they will

[nocturne oriole]

No leadership except absolute dipshits will ever say “we are laying off”

It’s always “we are not planning for layoffs”

[austere grove]

Companies have to

Wtf

[wheat seal]

Source?

[austere grove]

Public companies have to announce layoffs

[nocturne oriole]

Well i mean short term they will. I assumed luther meant a warning

[austere grove]

He said the company plans to freeze hiring and restructure some teams, which will help cut down on some expenses and “realign priorities,” with the company likely to be smaller in 2023, he said.

[wheat seal]

Yea I meant warning

[austere grove]

He’s straight up saying

There will be layoffs

[wheat seal]

Yea this does sound like a layoff

[austere grove]

As clear as it can get

[nocturne oriole]

Like if meta PIPs and then 3mo later wants to layoff they can just announce it and lay off everyone a day later

[nocturne oriole]

To anyone with a brain yeah pretty much. But the undertones and messaging internally was that natural attrition would suffice

Amazon style

[wheat seal]

Yea that’s what I would think as well. Natural attrition

People will definitely be leaving

I mean look at eBay, eBay never did engineering layoffs

Cuz of the attrition

[nocturne oriole]

Also people are receiving mixed messaging about the job outcome after being PIPd

As in they are not getting a clear answer on “what do i need to do to keep my job”

Hence my hypothesis most PIPpers will get laid off

[wheat seal]

U met ppl that are being pipd already?

[nocturne oriole]

Cannot answer but

[redacted]

[wheat seal]

I know at qualtrics. Engineering shrunk by like 100

[nocturne oriole]

Btw yes i highkey agree with this. Even if all u do is signal to investors and shareholders u care about stock by taking these measures

[wheat seal]

From like 1500 to 1400 at qualtrics, cuz of natural attrition

Over the past like 4 mths

I’ve been here

Oh yea cuz they hire

I forgot

Oh u were talking to kirb

[nocturne oriole]

Tiktok is a long term thing banana

Short term there is more

At play

[wheat seal]

Meta has like 40 billion right cash reserves

[austere grove]

Meta is still the only company that has really monetized social media

Monetization is a hard problem and TikTok can easily become Snapchat

[wheat seal]

Plus zuck could give up some cash as well

[austere grove]

That’s not really social media

[wheat seal]

I wonder if ceos would do that

[austere grove]

A lot of tv shows on it

[nocturne oriole]

U are on tiktok hype train which is understandable

They have the tools to win the race

But prob wont win

[west pagoda]

Inb4 tiktok is banned in US

[nocturne oriole]

They will just match meta’s market share probablt

[wheat seal]

TikTok was banned in usa?

[west pagoda]

Nah but very well could be

[wheat seal]

I doubt it

[nocturne oriole]

This is dumb but im in mexico right now and damn dude fb has a strong hold in developing world

[wheat seal]

Ur fb Mexico?

[nocturne oriole]

No just visiting

Im mexican

[wheat seal]

Oh okay

U speak Spanish?

I’ve never seen u speak here

Always English

[nocturne oriole]

It’s theorized that mostly Meta is lobbying for this with the SEC chief or whatever. So it prob wont happen

[nocturne oriole]

[west pagoda]

Idk I’ve heard of podcasts which are extremely critical of meta, but are also critical of tiktok

[wheat seal]

TikTok is honestly better than instagram I think. IG makes me depressed idk y. But Ig is still nice

yea I agree. It’s super cringe

[nocturne oriole]

U are downplaying Google search

It’s a fuckin beast

they can survive on it imo

[austere grove]

Why does ig make you depressed

[wheat seal]

U always gotta look at people living lavishly ig. In the feed. TikTok is more fun to scroll through

[nocturne oriole]

Yeah how lol the tiktok thirst traps should wreck u emotionally more than anything

[wheat seal]

Whose that?

I don’t know who any of those r

I only know Addison Rae

Cuz she’s on twitch

Addison rae is on twitch I think

[vague oyster]

dude addison is a pornstar

[wheat seal]

She is?

[austere grove]

It’s better when ur employed

When ur employed ur the one posting living lavishly

[wheat seal]

I am but I’m broke asf lol

100k base in hcol is rough

[austere grove]

We’re skating around the main reason tiktok is famous

[nocturne oriole]

Get rid of ur roomie, make ur bed, and go to gym. Post on tiktok. Profit

[austere grove]

*popular

It’s not because of khaby

[wheat seal]

I have like $2600/mth on rent it’s just super hard to save

Seattle

A studio

[austere grove]

Oh rip

Roommates?

[wheat seal]

Nope

[austere grove]

Palantir HM in 14 hours

Praying for some good RNG

[wheat seal]

I need to find a place for 1500/mth

[nocturne oriole]

This is like 32% of your yearly pre tax income very normal for a yuppie in big city tbh

Like i agree it sucks btw

Just saying is normal

And u should be able to healthily contribute to a 401k with that budget

[austere grove]

Not yet

[nocturne oriole]

And no car but still have leisure budget

Do it

[austere grove]

I’ll email tomorrow

[wheat seal]

My company only matches like 5%

[nocturne oriole]

Bad for retirement but good for ur budget

Max out roth IRA then

But also match 401k

[sick hawk]

Hi guys, how many OA and interviews do you guys get these days? for me, I applied about 100 companies, got 10 OA, 0 interviews

[nocturne oriole]

U should still have spending $$

[mystic glacier]

are asana and pinterest better than FANG (not counting Amazon)?

[nocturne oriole]

Yeah and dont be me who spends thousands furnishing an apartment either

Dumbest decision i have made btw

[wheat seal]

Does it matter with stock if u know

[nocturne oriole]

Very arguable on both sides

[azure zephyr]

please get a roommate

[nocturne oriole]

Roth IRA is always a good thing. Always.

[wheat seal]

I really can’t tho. Like I like being in my chill space

I’m in SLU now but I may move to first hill

[nocturne oriole]

Tbh he probably should and i prob should too. But some people value no roomie A LOT

[wheat seal]

First hill area

[nocturne oriole]

i have had 10 roomies and fuck that

[wheat seal]

10???

[nocturne oriole]

Not at once

Lolol

[marble bronze]

ah

[mystic glacier]

that's a stack of roommates

[marble bronze]

My room mate RNG has been good so far

[azure zephyr]

i've had decent luck with roommates

[nocturne oriole]

I could basically save 12k a year if i chose a roomie. For most of u that’s smart. For me it was worth the sacrifice

[young peak]

https://tenor.com/view/rukia-anime-meme-gif-24624131

[azure zephyr]

but my current roommate of going on two years is goated we just started a new lease together and have two cats

[wheat seal]

I’d save like 9k

If I lived in worse neighborhood

And had roommate

But I only wanna room with some1 I know really well

[young peak]

Pinterest is pog af

[wheat seal]

Tbh

[wheat seal]

What’s better?

[young peak]

Pinterest hands down

[nocturne oriole]

If u had those offers try to talk to eng’s there to get an idea of stability and watch stock. But imo they are great

Asana > pin
imo

[wheat seal]

Amazon could be good too. Team dependent no?

Like SDE 2

[young peak]

I'd be careful going anywhere near asana rn since I heard internally here that the folks over there are going through an org restructure

[nocturne oriole]

Yes i recently heard that too. Their pay is just so fat lol

[wheat seal]

How about mongodb

[nocturne oriole]

And my pin friend’s wlb is in the shitter too

[wheat seal]

Mongodb nyc

[nocturne oriole]

He got promised a 1yr promo and was denied too

[young peak]

@frank wedge let us know how you doin

[marble bronze]

Really? What are they doing company-wise that's making them run OT?

[nocturne oriole]

He is a grinder + team is grinder + many oncalls and SEVs

[wheat seal]

They are constantly working on the app and innovating

[verbal sorrel]

Honestly I’d stay away from startups. Unicorns might be okay because they could get acquired during a recession but eh.

[wheat seal]

Pin just released a completely new app

A few mths ago

[young peak]

Job security rn is key so apply to McDonald's or something idk

[marble bronze]

Ah

[wheat seal]

Now they have pin lite

[nocturne oriole]

That was my thinking joining meta and i regret it fyi

[wheat seal]

Or something

[marble bronze]

I did, they never responded LOL

[nocturne oriole]

Woulda taken pin or asana if i had either

[young peak]

McDonald's SWEs make 6 figs

[marble bronze]

Do corporate employees get discount

[azure zephyr]

the overall wlb of pin is so attractive

[young peak]

Cracking McDonald's seemed impossible tbh

[marble bronze]

I want to pay $1 for big mac combo

[azure zephyr]

and pinflex

[wheat seal]

Nike swe pays 6 figs too

[verbal sorrel]

If I got it I would have tbh

[young peak]

Prob not but it's a great place

My wife would love it if I worked there lmfao

[marble bronze]

AT&T is close but not quite 6 figs unfortunately

[wheat seal]

U just got married?

[marble bronze]

But the location is absolutely amazing

[nocturne oriole]

Get more data points. I only have one and its not good

[young peak]

A few months back yeah

[wheat seal]

Oh congrats

Ur 22?

[marble bronze]

Maybe I'll end up hating it but I'm really looking forward to living and working in a downtown core

[young peak]

Thanks bud

23

[azure zephyr]

i don't have any friends who work in big tech/silicon valley etc. i'm purely going based off reviews on blind & glassdoor tbh

[nocturne oriole]

Also this may surprise some of u but grind culture is going up because recession

[verbal sorrel]

@nocturne oriole praying for you bud

They just pay extremely well and seem chill to me at least

[young peak]

Was kinda like that too. These communities are necessary for people like us

[nocturne oriole]

I think i will be ok cuz my team is high priority at meta but i find out tmrw

[wheat seal]

The interviewers were so nice. And questions were fair just difficult

[marble bronze]

Pendulum of power is swinging back in the direction of employers

[verbal sorrel]

Let me know if you need my services

[young peak]

Also being an international/POC I didn't think it'd matter but similar communities are just so much nicer...

[verbal sorrel]

I can get to cracking some kneecaps

[nocturne oriole]

Same when i joined this company and was in school but yes i am serious about grind culture rn, it’s going up

[mystic glacier]

Asana's internship interview process is insane tho

this is for an INTERNSHIP

[young peak]

Use my referral if you need it

[azure zephyr]

2 hour coding interview?

[wheat seal]

2hrs????

[young peak]

Also I can refer you directly to managers that I know now have HC for next quarter

[marble bronze]

1x120 sounds like a fucking marathon

[nocturne oriole]

It’s just notifying of PIP btw yogu and jake. Not layoff yet

Just bad omen

[wheat seal]

2hr coding interview with react js or something?

[nocturne oriole]

Company pip quota

[verbal sorrel]

Yeah that’s ass tbh

[wheat seal]

2hr has to be like making an api or front end component

[mystic glacier]

Pinterest's internship process

[verbal sorrel]

I think internships should be technical phone/assessment -> final for the most part

[nocturne oriole]

It’s like 1 hour OOD on your own then 1 hour to discuss code with eng

[marble bronze]

mfw I couldn't make it past step 2

[wheat seal]

Wait just 1 interview?

1x60?

[azure zephyr]

definitely, all of my friends are not going for stuff like this so i thought i was over working this process by a lot. turns out after joining this discord i wasn't working hard enough lmaooo

[mystic glacier]

New grad final is longer

[marble bronze]

Oh internship

[young peak]

Tbh I think they should look for entirely diff signals for interns ngl

[wheat seal]

Yea it’s 4 rounds

[verbal sorrel]

Yeah because they know doing 2 or 3 hours is fucking stupid

[hollow crag]

I'm praying for you 2023 class

[nocturne oriole]

Asana ng onsite is brutal. Among the worst for me. Fair but rough

[young peak]

Anything on triplebyte is an instant no for me tbh

[nocturne oriole]

Sys des should not even be a thing

[wheat seal]

New grad is 4 rounds tho lol. Imagine for intern u get like a problem already solved. Ur basically set

[mystic glacier]

Getting an Asana internship is like getting a full-time somewhere else lol

[verbal sorrel]

Long interview processes for interns is a waste of time for the interns and the engineers. Because it should be simpler in most cases.

[verbal sorrel]

Yes I know I did it

[wheat seal]

Yea I regret not trying as hard in uni

[verbal sorrel]

Nah I coasted my last year

I said fuck it

I was tired

[nocturne oriole]

My experience is that interview questions everywhere are getting easier. Lc meds usually.

[verbal sorrel]

I just focused on interviewing

[wheat seal]

I still think it’s rng

[verbal sorrel]

Got Google and was chilling the rest of the time

[wheat seal]

But yea twilio and atlassian and qualtrics interviews for me were pretty much equal in difficulty

Pinterest was the hardest for me

[marble bronze]

Thanks homie, appreciate it

[nocturne oriole]

Actively interviewed for NG aug 2021 to march 2022 it was hell

[wheat seal]

Msft wasn’t bad either for me

But tricky

[verbal sorrel]

Honestly after getting my offer I lost motivation to do anything beyond the minimum to pass

[verbal sorrel]

Bro msft interviewers hated me idk why

Like 3 of them were ass

[mystic glacier]

coz most of us can't even pass OAs these days

[hollow crag]

Team at Apple is chill. A lot fo them are ex googlers 😆.

[marble bronze]

It kinda sucks that I won't be able to get into big N right out of college, but I still have my entire working career (be it long or short) ahead for that

[wheat seal]

Same lol

[mystic glacier]

[nocturne oriole]

@wheat seal i agree with ur comparisons i interviewed at all those for NG

[mystic glacier]

everyone uses codesignal now

😢

[wheat seal]

My msft interview spent 30min in behavioral

[marble bronze]

I like CodeSignal

[verbal sorrel]

Expedia had 2/3 interviewers not show up

[nocturne oriole]

Ok hear me out

[verbal sorrel]

I told them to fuck off

[nocturne oriole]

Cuz i will delete

OAs are dummy stupid

So try your best

[azure zephyr]

OAs are primarily a new grad thing right?

[verbal sorrel]

I got grilled in behavioral for 15-20 minutes and then asked to solve 4 lc questions and could only do 3 within time. He was gonna ask me a 4th and go over time.

[marble bronze]

no

[mystic glacier]

i will like it once i get a 800+

[verbal sorrel]

This was one interviewer btw

[mystic glacier]

will send to everyone

[wheat seal]

Yea I got just 1 LC medium to do in 10min. Pretty unfair

[marble bronze]

I don't think I had many internship opportunities that went direct to interview

Maybe I just didn't apply to the right places though

[hollow crag]

Remember guys, if you're ever interviewing a candidate at one point in your life, take it easy on the candidate. F the companies.

[wheat seal]

Then my other 2 interviewer were asshat. Literally was highly cocky. The 3rd one was hella nice though

[azure zephyr]

i would love to be on the other side one day so i can only ask hard DP problems

[verbal sorrel]

I had 4 interviews for my on-site all technical

[wheat seal]

Yea I just had behavioral im beginning

[nocturne oriole]

I am sorry about this btw and nobody from prev yrs is in a position to say this is ok because this year is truly the worst since tech became a good career

[verbal sorrel]

The guy with 4 questions was at the end of the day too

[nocturne oriole]

U are trying ur best and a job is just a job. U will still learn plenty in any role with a good mindset

[verbal sorrel]

So I was tired after 3 other sessions

Fuck msft and fuck Expedia

[marble bronze]

Yeah for sure, I wanna learn as much as I can and get to the point where I can be a significant decision maker in software design

[livid pagoda]

I did 11/14 in 1st and passed all test cases for 2nd question in Expedia OA? is there a chance I get an interview?

[nocturne oriole]

Realistically i can say min of 6-9mo u can even hop to a big N if u prep

But im sure u know that

[marble bronze]

We'll see if the economy picks up

[peak ferry]

if the market isn't boned then, which it may very well still be

[marble bronze]

6 months seems a bit rough assuming that it might take me that amount of time to ramp up, but then again who knows with a rotational program

[nocturne oriole]

Honestly as a craft there is so much to learn no matter the company as a swe. Working any decent job u gain confidence and can bring good skills to your next job

[marble bronze]

Yeah for sure

[wheat seal]

Yes

OA is usually just a simple filter. Most companies prioritize resume mostly

And Expedia doesn’t really matter. Just depends if a recruiter picks it up

[livid pagoda]

Yeah but some of them have filters, like if we did not pass all cases, its an auto reject.

[wheat seal]

Haven’t heard of that before

[livid pagoda]

Akuna is one of them

[wheat seal]

Yea but Akuna bar is way way higher than Expedia

I don’t think u can compare them

[livid pagoda]

yea true

[wheat seal]

Akuna is 210k tc in Chicago lol

Which is nuts

Seen it go higher too

On levels

[prime palm]

Damn

[livid pagoda]

I thought I cracked their final, but nah, they have different levels 🥲

[prime palm]

is 210k high for Chicago?

is Chicago MCOL, HCOL?

[wheat seal]

MCOL

Can easily get a studio for like 1400

[prime palm]

DAMN

[vast rock]

Guys I don’t understand why I am not getting expedia netflix or doordash OAs. My resume def is good enough. Is it cuz i graduate this December instead of 2023?

[prime palm]

Just call it unlucky man

[wheat seal]

Nah that’s good enough for 2023 grad

[prime palm]

Or lots of competition

I have hella exp and dint have OAs from any of those 3

[vast rock]

Wtf that doesnt even make sense

How am i getting past resume screen for higher tier firms

But not hese

[prime hill]

netflix barely hiring anyone

[wheat seal]

It probably takes them awhile to get back

[grizzled bronze]

You're not guaranteed any OAs no matter how good your resume is

[prime hill]

ye dont read into it too much

esp if ur getting other oas

[verbal sorrel]

Resume stage is typically RNG and also based on how friendly your resume is with parsers. I think it’s ATS?

[livid pagoda]

are you international? @vast rock

like need sponsorship or something?

[verbal sorrel]

I mean it really depends on the company but I doubt places like Google or Amazon manually review every applicant cause that would be insane

[nocturne oriole]

Maybe u are overqualified

Too good

Tbh RNG is real af

[grizzled bronze]

People with even no experience have passed Netflix's resume screen and gotten an offer

[wheat seal]

Target school?

[grizzled bronze]

No

[wheat seal]

Just random school?

[grizzled bronze]

AFAIK they had a good side project

[livid pagoda]

I thought expedia is auto, I got it after half an hour of applying.

[grizzled bronze]

Like Kirb said, there's a lot of RNG involved

[prime hill]

expedia should be auto, i literally got the strength assessment the minute i applied

[grizzled bronze]

Don't overthink it, just optimize your resume for each role and submit, don't think you have to get some X combo of experiences in order to get into X company.

[prime hill]

although maybe its full auto resume screen, idk if companies do that

[verbal sorrel]

Nah nah nah we don’t optimize for each listing

Make that shit once and go blasting

https://tenor.com/view/moe-self-defense-funk-dance-gun-gif-16508959

[grizzled bronze]

Disagree, there are different types of roles like SRE/Mobile/Security/rontend/etc. and showcasing certain projects/experiences will help

[earnest summit]

i need more targets for my shotgun

[vast rock]

THATS WHY I AM CONFUSED. I thought expedia requires 2023 grad date

[verbal sorrel]

True there can be many types of roles and really it’s specific to the company. But for example SRE is really gonna be more experience based of a role. But also for new grads many are going to have fairly small projects and no experience.

[vast rock]

I am just annoyed like wtf multi-Faang (non amazon) isnt enough these days like fk my life

[livid pagoda]

Dec 2022 grad == 23 grad as far as I know coz you gonna start in 2023

[verbal sorrel]

You have to remember that most CS majors don’t graduate with an internship. Maybe it’s changed in the last couple years due to remote work but even still.

[vast rock]

I applied to a different post for expedia tho expedia has one specifically for Jan 2023 start and thats the one i applied to

For Netflix, the job posts specifically says graduated spring or summer 2023 so thats why i think its my grad date

[livid pagoda]

Then there is no reason, just bad luck, OA's are completely rng

[prime hill]

i got netflix oa last year with 0 exp no name school, and didnt get it this year w meta

[vast rock]

Ugh ever since i did meta internship i never had any good luck

Why what have i done

[prime hill]

apply to bloomberg they're taking all the meta refugees

[grizzled bronze]

In general if you have the experience/ technical skills then optimize each resume for each app that you can, it really can help. Like some people will have experience in the "preferred skills" that they may have not listed, so pay attention and optimize it.

[verbal sorrel]

But even so generally lots of these areas have a lot of overlapping skill sets. The only thing I’d see new grads changing would likely be their skills section if anything. But if anything your resume should already include all your applicable skills anyways.

[grizzled bronze]

Yeah I don't disagree with you, all I'm saying is optimize for each role that you can

Whether it's skills or anything else

[vast rock]

I got rekt on phone screen. I got so unlucky. U can find my msg from earlier. I got a question that was so ez and i know exactly how to do. Did it before as well. The guy basically just abused me like nitpicking prtending he doesn’t understand or that kind of stuff. TLDR worst interview experience i ever had with a passive aggressive guy at bloomberg. Ig shit luck again

[verbal sorrel]

I’d argue just make your resume for a general SWE. Optimizing for specific roles is really for those who are more experienced if I’m gonna be honest. The only situations I’d see the point in doing it for new grad is that you already have a firm grasps on the role you want. (Like Saas, Security, etc.)

[vast rock]

I was so prepared for bloomberg. Did every tagged possible as well. The guy just basically wanted me to fail from the start

[verbal sorrel]

As well the experience to back it up but I don’t see that applying for most undergraduates.

[primal pike]

same experiencr man was it for nyc?

[supple grove]

I heard that some people have 2 phones with bloomberg and the others have just 1. Anyone knows how it work?

[hexed canopy]

how long after the extra em round did you get the roblox offer?

[gray niche]

like a day

[gray niche]

but i had deadlines

[livid pagoda]

one of my friend got a phone invite but its a zoom link and says video interview? did bb started video phone screening now?

[hexed canopy]

Ohhh I did the extra on Monday and haven’t got any update yet

Thank you tho

[floral plank]

Have you heard back from them after phone?

[marble bronze]

Let's go degen hours interview

[brittle glen]

ive been on this sub for 1.5 years and just realized that our process on the process channels goes to a website

[lime current]

lol

hive recruiter emailed me at 1am

wlb boutta be crazy

[wheat seal]

Is Bloomberg still hiring ng now?

I applied a month ago

[tulip hearth]

[wheat seal]

How hard is Bloomberg phone?

[night magnet]

meta refugees 💀

[delicate cloak]

what's all this i'm reading about canceling Karat redos?

like if you request a redo but the company deems your first try good enough, they just cancel the redo?

[vague canopy]

Does Bloomberg ask system design during 2 technical interviews (virtual onsite)?

[late kestrel]

no sys design is only asked potentially in the em round. you could get asked an OOD questiom tho

phone -> onsite -> em/hr

complete rng. some ppl get behav questions some get hard sys design

anywhere from a day to a couple weeks 🤷‍♂️

[west egret]

By that you mean the “design a _____” in LC?

[teal jackal]

im honestly im going into the long weekend with no interviews to prep for next week

All my interviews are further out than that

I want to enjoy my long weekend

[late kestrel]

yeah thats OOD

[teal jackal]

i didnt know that RVs were so expensive

tbh at that price, fuck buying an RV

id rather buy a supercar

like an audi r8

a ford based RV is still like 150k or something

[sonic coral]

Lol two entirely different worlds of vehicles bud

[teal jackal]

lmao i didnt know RVs were mad expensive

[sonic coral]

I mean they’re like a mini house

[teal jackal]

https://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2022-Keystone-Hideout-Mini-175BH-5019760297

nah tbh this isnt half bad

[hexed moth]

[deep wasp]

So I’m graduating in July 2023.

I’ve been applying to new grad 2023 jobs, and a bunch have rejected me because I’m not graduating in Fall2022/Spring 2023. But I also am getting rejected from Summer 2023 SWE Internships because I graduate too early. So what jobs should I even be applying for? I know there’s some new grad 2023 with later start dates but, for the ones that only hire Fall/Spring grads, do I have to wait for 2024?

[untold lava]

Just put may 2023 as grad date and start in July

[deep wasp]

now I must go back to the time before I submitted 100 applications and make this change

[untold lava]

It’s probably fine if you resubmit most of them with diff email

As long as you didn’t get an interview or anything

[wicked musk]

Haven’t heard back from Bloomberg after em interview a week ago, am I doomed? 🥲

[compact sundial]

their pipeline is backed up af, just wait

[wicked musk]

🙏 thanks man

[knotty talon]

it's because bloomberg is recession proof

they just grow and grow

so they havent slowd downhiring while every other company is supremely down bad

[wheat seal]

I applied a month ago and no response yet

But I’m in industry

Maybe that’s why?

[wicked musk]

Is it b/c they’re private or their have few competitors?

[rain patio]

when was your em round?

[wicked musk]

Last Wednesday

[rain patio]

did it go well?

[wheat seal]

How much lc do u need to do for bb phone?

I haven’t leetcoded in awhile

[sonic coral]

They’re firmly entrenched in the finance world largely due to several laws Mikey boi wrote while in office as nyc mayor

[wicked musk]

No the smoothest I’d say… got a coding problem to do verbally, had to use some hints from the em

[mellow path]

anyone up for a sys design mock?

[rain patio]

mine wasn't smooth either. I got a math problem but he didn't care about implementation. just theoretical questions.

the only implementation related question was time complexity which I needed a hint for :/

[wicked musk]

When was yours? 👀

[rain patio]

yesterday

[wicked musk]

Was it that 19-yr guy?

[rain patio]

I wanna say mine was 16 but honestly it could be 19

[wicked musk]

I got this manager who’s been at bb for 19 yr

He said at the end that I would hear back from ‘em in a few days

[rain patio]

for me he said you should hear back within 7 days

so idk if thats good or bad lol

[wicked musk]

That’s good I think

All the rej I’ve seen are within 2-3 days

[rain patio]

omg don't give me any hope lol. i've pretty much mentally accepted i'm gonna get rejected 😦

bc I needed hints for ~1/2 of his theoretical questions.

[wicked musk]

I feel you bro

[winter loom]

Anyone know how long Bloomberg takes to send offer letter after the call?

[rain patio]

he did specifically tell me he didn't care about the answers just the discussion but i feel like he lowkey cared about the answers because there was an awkward pause sometimes lol

[wicked musk]

Congrats dude! no idea

How long for you to get the call?

[wheat seal]

How difficult is bb phone?

[sonic coral]

Rng tagged + why bb

• maybe resume questions

[wheat seal]

Don’t know if qualtrics will layoff. So just keeping my eyes open

I mean we r still hiring interns and swe 2

And profit margin is increasing each quarter but U just never know

[sonic coral]

Bro I swear I thought you were at zon for some reason

[wheat seal]

Since we are basically a growth stock

[wheat seal]

I wish haha

Definitely better job security I think for recession

[sonic coral]

I mean zon does use qualtrics quite a bit lol

[wheat seal]

Oh yea a lot do. I have also seen 100 engineers leave in the past 4 mths I’ve been here

Engineering went from like 1500 to 1400

So natural attrition but I’d rather just be prepared

[sonic coral]

Yeah I guess it can’t hurt to look around

Also it seems like you’re not super keen on staying in Seattle too long lol

[wheat seal]

I’m not lol

[sonic coral]

I don’t blame ya

[wheat seal]

I’d rather be in Astoria NY

[sonic coral]

Oh Astoria is leagues better lol

Me personally I’m lookin for a place in Brooklyn

[teal jackal]

please qualtrics hire new grads

[autumn ridge]

Damn that's wild everyone I've talked to said it was only behavioral for the EM round

I have my EM/HR today

[wheat seal]

Oh yea Brooklyn is nice. One thing I noticed is that Astoria doesn’t have any solid gyms

[wicked musk]

Best of luck

[teal jackal]

is bloomberg phone -> onsite -> EM/HR?

what are the contents of all 3?

[wicked musk]

Yep

[sonic coral]

Really? Astoria has a blink and ymca I think

[teal jackal]

im gonna prep BB tagged and look into bloomberg values

when is the behavioral part

[shadow socket]

How long after technical rounds did you hear back about hr/em round

[wheat seal]

I mean I like deadlifting too

[wheat seal]

I like deadlifting too

I noticed that Brooklyn has much nicer gyms

[sonic coral]

Oh is blink not good for DLs?

[wheat seal]

Yea u can’t DL

[sonic coral]

Oof

[autumn ridge]

I heard back next day but I was in there expidited process so everything was faster

[wheat seal]

Murder of crows in Brooklyn

Looks really nice

But it seems like it’s all weightlifting clubs

Or nvm

[sonic coral]

I’ve heard good things about harbor fitness in park slope

[shadow socket]

Yeah I got expedited too. Skipped to VO after interviewer no show during phone. (Had to say i have competing offer)

[wheat seal]

Sns strength Williamsburg in Brooklyn looks sick

[sonic coral]

Yeah but it’s like $100/mo lol

[wheat seal]

Yea that gym looks nice

[sonic coral]

I will say, as much as I wanna gtfo staten I will miss my cheap local gym lol

[wheat seal]

Yea I’m not suprised lol. Looks mad expensive

Like alphalete type of gym

Or zoo fitness

With brad

[sonic coral]

The thing is I really just want a place with benches and a dl platform

That’s all I need

[wheat seal]

Yea I feel like it’s not gonna be possible sadly to get cheap gym but maybe

[sonic coral]

I don’t need any of the fancy shit

[wicked musk]

Check out Fort Greene park

[sonic coral]

Yeah harbor is one of the “cheaper” bk gyms and it’s like $65/mo

[sonic coral]

Wait what, they have weights and bars there??

[wicked musk]

Just bars near the basketball court

[sonic coral]

Ah so it’s bring your own weight lol

[wheat seal]

Wait but doesn’t google give gym stipend?

[sonic coral]

Not in nyc since we have an office gym but the main one is under renovation

So there’s only a small one without cable machines

[wheat seal]

Oh ok. Yea I’m Seattle I know they do

[wheat seal]

They have deadlift platform ?

[sonic coral]

Once the main one opens finally I’ll def be checking it out

[sonic coral]

Supposedly and cable machines

[wheat seal]

That’s actually pretty done

[sonic coral]

But like you could DL non bumpers and no one would care in the smaller one

[wheat seal]

Is it 24/7?

[sonic coral]

It’s just that there’s no cables

[knotty talon]

Essentially no competitors

[sonic coral]

Yessir

[wheat seal]

Lol that’s dope

[sonic coral]

Yep there’s certain software that there was some regulations written in when Mikey was in office that finance companies require that only BB can provide

[wicked musk]

Take me pls

[late kestrel]

yo same in just a couple hours

[lament summit]

do companies look at ur entire performance for an offer or just on the final

[indigo canopy]

had anyone done a karat interview (1 hour) with palantir?

[autumn ridge]

gl to us both

[wheat seal]

U mean like if u had phone? And then moved to final? U pass phone, so they just look at final

[lament summit]

yeah

say u did shit phone but somehow passed but aced the final

[rain patio]

Does that matter?

Its either you pass or fail

So you did shit on phone still passed

[late kestrel]

so scared

pls nice em

[rustic vessel]

Yes

Make test cases/copy the example they give

[fervent drift]

yo what are the chances of getting an offer if hr likes you but tech doesnt?

my technical interviewer was rough man

[floral plank]

Tech matters the most for most companies

[tardy geode]

i have a phone with BB in a few weeks ,nervous af . is this normal ? or am i overthinking?

[uncut umbra]

being nervous is normal. if you let that nervousness consume you, and focus on being nervous and not addressing the existing nervousness then it becomes destructive. if you're feeling scared and worried, that's fine. but channel that fear of things going badly into doing things that can minimize things going badly. speaking from experience on everything lol

[tardy geode]

💯 Thanks

[uncut umbra]

ofc

[bleak raven]

i don’t know if i can get over the fact if i live in the bay i won’t have a support system as accessible to me (if i get hospitalized, lose my job, etc.)

only if netflix had nyc 😭

sad

[tardy geode]

this is pin-worthy

[rain patio]

And other areas have support system...?

[bleak raven]

i’m from nyc

[rain patio]

Oh makes sense

Im also from nyc

[bleak raven]

if i needed to decide between microsoft nyc and netflix los gatos

[rain patio]

And i wouldnt want to go to west coast lol

[fervent drift]

Might as well go end my life now

[bleak raven]

what i do

[tardy geode]

los gatos is pretttyyy

[rain patio]

Idk make your best decision. Some people dont even get the chance to 🙂

[bleak raven]

i know 0 people from the bay area fun fact

so i would be staring a new life

idk what to do

[fervent drift]

If anyone wants to give me a job I’d appreciate it

Can send my resume over

[wind drum]

did they not offer LA for netflix?

[bleak raven]

id rather do los gatos than LA lmao

[uncut umbra]

lmao thanks

[bleak raven]

i hate all of california, but at least in bay there’s job opps

i would be living in SF

i don’t want to own car

[wind drum]

can you even get to los gatos on public transport

oh wtf

[bleak raven]

are there any good downtowns in bay other than SF

like nyc level downtowns 😭

[wind drum]

nah

[calm shale]

wtf thats so pog

[wind drum]

San Jose is like the only other kinda downtown

[bleak raven]

o no

[wind drum]

and it's mid

[bleak raven]

0% chance i drive in bay area

i think SF my only option

[wind drum]

rip you def want to avoid the south bay then

[bleak raven]

hmmm

[wind drum]

it's all urban sprawl down there

[bleak raven]

hm

my brain and heart are telling me nyc

but some evil part in me says bay

[wind drum]

yeah honestly i feel like nyc is a much better fit for you

based on your wants

[lunar hatch]

Has anyone successfully extended offer ddls for doordash and Bloomberg

[bleak raven]

why do new grads live in the bay

what’s the point

how do they enjoy it

[wind drum]

for career growth and opportunities in tech it's best place in the world

[bleak raven]

but not for enjoying life?

what do people do for fun

[wind drum]

depends on what you want

they have great national parks and outdoor stuff around the area

[bleak raven]

oh so boring stuff

[wind drum]

yeah it's not like an exciting place to be

[bleak raven]

do u have to drive to get food

or walk

[wind drum]

but many tech ppl aren't looking for that

[bleak raven]

ok fuck netflix, microsoft it is lmao

[uncut umbra]

what is the dune quote

[bleak raven]

yea understandable

[uncut umbra]

this reminds me of the chapter in life of pi where he talks about the various kinds of fear

[bleak raven]

tbh for me i need the thrill of feeling like u can get stabbed at any moment

[uncut umbra]

and I have come back to that year on year and find it being more and more relevant since every year I feel like the odds I have anxiety increase

[bleak raven]

i just love walking in nyc at 3 am

the allure of death is such a high

[uncut umbra]

honestly I've been feeling like if gen z or millennials got into one of those riddles with a sphinx, we'd be fine with death

sphinx: "answer my riddle, or you shall perish"
us: "sounds like a win-win"

[formal fable]

I was once yelled at by a homeless woman sleeping at the entrance of the subway station cause I woke her up by walking in

[uncut umbra]

a commensurate punishment would be to display all of our cringe-worthy moments in our heads forever on a loop

[bleak raven]

@foggy perch SMITTY

[foggy perch]

the existence of amusement parks just shows society is too peaceful and people want to die

[bleak raven]

netflix final went well and i hate it

[uncut umbra]

BASE jumping proves the same as well lmao

we like anything that have a nonzero chance of death

[foggy perch]

renege time

[bleak raven]

i can’t

unless netflix gives nyc

then i’ll renege 100%

[foggy perch]

what about 50k diff

[formal fable]

Is this anti-copium or what? Lowering yours and everyone else's expectation to maximize reward when you get the offer??

[bleak raven]

tbh doesn’t matter , bay sucks

[foggy perch]

100k

[bleak raven]

i don’t wanna have to decide between two offers

too much work

[teal jackal]

Im genuinely sick of college

I want a job

And gtfo

[formal fable]

The struggle is real

[teal jackal]

My friend got featured in the credits for world of Warcraft recently

[bleak raven]

no

[uncut umbra]

I would be able to relate to that if I've ever had a choice lol

[teal jackal]

I thought that was the coolest shit

I think I want to work on my game dev capstone

And apply for game development roles

[foggy perch]

0 dollar diff but netflix offers free food

Real easy to say

[bleak raven]

free food no longer matters to me

[uncut umbra]

depends on if you're happy with the choice or not

[bleak raven]

i don’t think they do do they

[uncut umbra]

if you don't like the choice then having more choices is obviously preferable

[bleak raven]

they also have nyc office so i pray

but idk

[teal jackal]

1 amazing offer with no choice paralysis > 1 amazing offer and turning down a mid offer > multiple amazing offers that causes choice paralysis > no offers and therefore no choice

[foggy perch]

just wipe away the stress with dollar bills

ez

[teal jackal]

Nah it is hardly a struggle compared to not having a job

It's a different level

It doesn't but you can't act like we can somehow relate to it

OK that's not what I meant

But I feel like having offers at all and having choice paralysis beats by a long shot having nothing

Which is half the server

But tbh what's most ideal is getting one and only one offer, and that one offer is at least 80% perfect

[sonic coral]

Netflix has a new york office?

[teal jackal]

Yeah that makes sense

[bleak raven]

guess just media

[teal jackal]

OK I apologize for being a bit aggressive

[sonic coral]

Because I remember on the new grad app it was literally just LA and bay

[teal jackal]

Mb

[foggy perch]

what if you end up liking bay area

since you haven't lived there yet

bay area will be your reverse nyc

[bleak raven]

i don’t think i will

no network

[foggy perch]

you go to bay area thinking you'll hate it

[bleak raven]

no support system

[teal jackal]

I know I don't like being in college

[foggy perch]

then up loving it

support systems are for losers

[bleak raven]

it’s more about the people

[foggy perch]

just do drugs

[teal jackal]

I think I want to stay in Boston, my parents have a nice car, and they're trading it in soon

[sonic coral]

Bro if you’re used to the east coast the west is a whole diff ballgame

[teal jackal]

Were getting an Audi q4 etron

Im really excited

If I stay in Boston that car will be mine

[sonic coral]

Why do you have to stay in Boston

[wind drum]

boston is the best city in the US

[sonic coral]

Can’t they just give it to you

[teal jackal]

My parents live here

[bleak raven]

maybe i can ask netflix to fly me out for week before i accept offer

[teal jackal]
