[bold pier]

Got DP hard on phone, didn't even code the entire thing yet got VO. Just communicate nicely lol

[young peak]

^ I'd normally not say this either but you gotta understand the economy rn

why

[half orbit]

where do i find company tagged questions?

[austere grove]

I mean

[half orbit]

how do i request the bot

[austere grove]

I don’t doubt I can solve the lc easy they give me or whatever

It’s just that they’re almost filled up

[young peak]

You think the companies you're afraid of reneging are gonna go "Oh no, I don't wanna hurt Hachi's feelings uwu when I rescind his offer"?

[austere grove]

Clearly

[young peak]

then don't be stupid lmfao

[austere grove]

Just tell them

Quant is bad

Cuz it is

[solemn tinsel]

damn Yogi going in lol

[austere grove]

The hours r long the work is boring the growth is bad

[young peak]

Someones gotta save the homies

They'll get back to you on a monday

just send it monday

Whens your deadline?

Realistically you'll only get in by next week at the latest

[austere grove]

[young peak]

naw Im fucking with you

[austere grove]

It seems people get rejected on Saturday

[young peak]

they'll give you time, but still hurrying can't hurt

[austere grove]

Not rejected yet

Just accept then renege

[young peak]

HE DOESNT WANT TO

[austere grove]

Wait why

[young peak]

It's an enigma man

[austere grove]

Wtf

Quant sucks

Burn ur bridges with all quant firms

[young peak]

even he doesn't know why

[austere grove]

That’s a good thing

That’s a good thing

It’s a quant firm

[young peak]

they literally could not give a shit

Some L3 reneging them doesn't hurt a billion dollar company in the slightest man

[austere grove]

Hrt is barely giving out offers this year

[young peak]

You're good enough to get into IMC, BB, Optiver and what else? Reneging ain't hurting you in the slightest

[austere grove]

Also you don’t want to go to a t7 firm anyways

[young peak]

Last year my rec said that passing this year is a good thing since next year their headcount was looking bleak

[austere grove]

ik why he said that

[young peak]

what has been your progress with Cit?

why

Bro why BB > IMC? .-.

[austere grove]

Ft headcount is bad at almost every quant place this year

[young peak]

IMC is in chicago right

I'm sure they can do something about getting you to NYC

they have an office there

[austere grove]

Yeah it might just be some legal thing

Btw

[young peak]

I switched Meta from Bay Area to NYC last year when they weren't letting people in nyc

so I think its possible

[austere grove]

A lot of satellite offices for quants are just there for regulatory reasons or some shut

[young peak]

it's to help people work remotely too

[austere grove]

Yeah most places r chill with you working remotely if ur more senior

I mean you can probably wfh in ur first year but may not be a good idea

[young peak]

Please realize that BB is only giving you at MOST 220k this year. On the other hand IMC had an offer of around 300k . Also IMC is in a much lower COL area than BB...

[austere grove]

IMC is like 5x the work

[young peak]

Eh I doubt that tbh

[austere grove]

Yeah it most certainly is

Just bc bbg is ez af

[young peak]

As a person that chose G over Cit, I can't say much ig but it's still a hard offer to pull out of

200k?

[austere grove]

Nah, cit is terrible my friends there work 11-12 hour days regularly

IMC is probably 45-55 hours a week like all other quant places

And actual productive work

[young peak]

base is gonna be 156-160k, then target bonus is 15% so it should be over 180k almost recurring excluding sign on. They don't give stock fyi

Ah fuck you're a woman, sorry didn't realize

[austere grove]

Also you have to realize ..

[young peak]

yeah then stay away from quant lmfao

...

[austere grove]

Ur offer is front loaded as fuck

It’s gonna take years to make it back to your first year tc

Maybe 2-3

It’s gonna be hard to hop to another quant place btw

[young peak]

One thing for women I think is choosing a non finance adjacent sector

[austere grove]

Most firms don’t want to deal with a non compete

For super junior devs

Yeah true

[young peak]

unless you join a game dev company like Blizzard

[austere grove]

Starting out in quant seems alright just to take the signing bonus and run

But there could be a long clawback

[young peak]

I agree

How long are the golden handcuffs staying on at IMC?

2 years?

[austere grove]

Wow

[young peak]

At BB it'll be 24 months

[austere grove]

Nah citadel is 2 years

[young peak]

and Citadel it's 2 years too

[austere grove]

Bloomberg will clawback 20k?

[young peak]

yeah

[austere grove]

Wtf

For 2 years??

[young peak]

Here lemme pull up the offer

24 months

yeah its 24 months

[austere grove]

110k signing bonus??

55/yr

That seems like a ton for Bloomberg

Wtf

[young peak]

I got a 300k offer

[austere grove]

Bbg is 0 work

You can sleepwalk those 2 years

[young peak]

I'm sure you all know about the prorated target bonus too

[austere grove]

My friend there barely codes and his manager loves him

He’s probably getting full bonus

[young peak]

@queen valve Kinda cracked wtf

Take my 🧨

where is Netflix gonna be based if you take the offer?

yikes

why tf is your bf in nyc

[austere grove]

Why would you not want to be in nyc

[young peak]

tell him to join IMC and if he can't skill issue tbh

[austere grove]

I’m gonna jump if I’m forced to go to cali

[young peak]

I can name a lot of reasons

Being asian for one is rough

[austere grove]

??

This is the best place to be Asian

[young peak]

I'm a 6'1 200lb dude so I'm okay, but my wife is like 5'6

all the stories about crazy people throwing acid and beating asian women up yknow

[austere grove]

Oh

Yeah that kinda sucks

But it’s a city of 8 million people

You have to remember how massive it is

[loud olive]

Most ppl feel safer in nyc compare to sf

[austere grove]

Yeah lmao

The homeless problem isn’t that big here

[loud olive]

Cuz there’s more ppl walking around in nyc

[austere grove]

It seems pretty bad in SF

[loud olive]

Sf is bad with homelessness

South Bay is the best part of California (living wise)

[young peak]

you asian too?

nyc gonna be rough icl

[true plank]

most metro areas have a homeless problem lmfao

[young peak]

wife works in finance too lmfao

Hachi and I are just living the same life

[austere grove]

@young peak wait maybe this is rude to ask but how old are you

[young peak]

Cracked SWEs living with cracked stock/quant gods

[young peak]

23

no worries

[austere grove]

Ur married

[young peak]

just turned 23 this year too

[true plank]

? i thought you didn't like nyc

[young peak]

I got good apt suggestions for NYC since I was also originally going to BB

[true plank]

oooh

partner is there

long distance is ass yeah

[young peak]

Did long distance for 2 years, couldn't do a second of it longer so I got married instead

[austere grove]

@true plank ur getting married soon too right

[young peak]

LD makes you realize your priorities tbh

where he living tho

[true plank]

hopefully

[young peak]

LIC and Astorio are great

[austere grove]

I hope I can be living in LIC too

[true plank]

Any long islanders in the house?

[young peak]

I mean y'all can offer fucking great places with your combined TCs

[austere grove]

Fuck it’s a downgrade tho, I was planning on living in TriBeCa or something a month ago

[young peak]

@queen valve how long have y'all been together?

is he older?

both asian? just curious lmfao

gotcha

yeah just make sure you have a convo about finances

[austere grove]

Is he Eastern European

[young peak]

More money == More convo is what I felt. She makes more than me, I make a lot too so it's something you either just shove into one account and never talk again or if thats not comfy yet then a convo is a must

[young peak]

think you nailed it lmfaooo

[true plank]

the finances convo was an interesting one since my partner won't be making nearly as much as me

[austere grove]

I might know him that’s why

[young peak]

But is he tho

we just share one account for everything

makes keeping finances so much easier for us

[true plank]

i was gonna say my parents do the same shit 😭

[young peak]

but its a comfort thing too so unless you're at that step

[true plank]

we're most likely gonna follow the same model as well

[young peak]

both our parents were the same too

[true plank]

if it ain't broke..

[peak ferry]

when married I just assumed that’s the norm lol

[young peak]

People marry for convenience rather than love these days

[austere grove]

People just don’t marry these days

[young peak]

Naw people marry then divorce a lot more

[peak ferry]

bruh I feel old as fuck now given some friends have gotten married

I’m not a real adult yet wtf how are people married

[true plank]

one of my friends got married for FAFSA and got 6.6k return every sem..

it was crazy

[austere grove]

Yeah same some of my friends are gonna get married soon too

Whatever life’s a marathon

[young peak]

40% of all people I know either are married or have kids

[young peak]

White dude linking up with an asian girl, oh how rare lmfao

[austere grove]

Quant world is just small

[young peak]

Got friends in the quant world, I know what you mean

[austere grove]

Gets even smaller if u only consider cuffed dudes

[young peak]

dating

[austere grove]

Handcuffed

To another person

[young peak]

wait hachi

where are you from?

texas by any chance?

lmfao same again

[crude saffron]

This is an interesting conversation

[young peak]

Hachi really trying to speed run the GC process

[true plank]

never seen this one before, hmm

[young peak]

I ask because I know a guy who works in Morgan Stanley as a quant. He dates an asian girl that graduates this year, and is in tech. He's in NYC living in manhattan

...

idk seemed oddly similar

[austere grove]

ik a white guy at JS with an Asian gf

[true plank]

hmmmmmm

[young peak]

fr? I see that combo atleast 3-4 times a day

[peak ferry]

jokes I’m sure

[true plank]

i was being sarcastic but texting is awful 😞

[young peak]

[young peak]

my b

[crude saffron]

It is the maximum likelihood outcome conditioned on being different races

[true plank]

nono you're good my friend

[peak ferry]

I need to get a quant sugar mama brb

[young peak]

quant girls barely got time to eat ngl

[true plank]

if i was marrying for money i already fucked up

[austere grove]

@crude saffron yo why is JS so white

[true plank]

my ex was loaded

[young peak]

idk about dating a tech bro that works less than 30 hours

[peak ferry]

I landed in Chicago yesterday and went drinking with some trader friends twice in 24hr rofl they go hard

[young peak]

IBAs are like that too

[true plank]

i feel like finance in general is quite white, idk why JS would be an exception

[austere grove]

Quant is Asian af

JS is the exception I feel

[peak ferry]

I woke up hungover like 30 minutes ago at 8pm in an unfurnished apt and now I need to go get ibuprofen

[true plank]

i see

[young peak]

Only quants I know are white dudes tho so idk too much

[peak ferry]

Idk city actually seems v nice so far

[runic wind]

Wait what LinkedIn post

[true plank]

i feel like if i attached a picture to my resume and applied for fintech i would get autorejected

[runic wind]

I think traders are still mostly white

[young peak]

Crying CEO?

[runic wind]

But QRs are all Asian

[austere grove]

Bank quants or traders

[austere grove]

Really?

[runic wind]

But yeah pretty stereotypical

[austere grove]

I feel like this isn’t the case but whatever lol

[young peak]

Traders, Bank quants are exclusively asian lol

[peak ferry]

Any recs? kekw

[rain patio]

so if I join quant ill get an asian gf? yo lets go

[crude saffron]

Look at the us demographics?

[runic wind]

Yeah like cits trader section is 99% white

[austere grove]

Oh nvm

Then

[austere grove]

I mean compared to general quant demographics

[young peak]

My recruiter was hella nice, let me do a virtual tour of their office

And yeah all of em are white man except for the devs

[wheat seal]

Is there any black people in quant?

[austere grove]

Idt there wa a single black person st my last place

[true plank]

black = insta reject, brother

[austere grove]

Like a technical one

Lmao

[true plank]

I'm ngl

[peak ferry]

don’t need any drink recommendations, 36 hr in and my budget has been steamrolled

[young peak]

The black dudes in quant man icl even as a guy I think they're pretty good looking

[true plank]

first video interview it's wraps

[austere grove]

Yeah they’re all Asian dudes

[true plank]

[young peak]

@queen valve Yeah Hachi I gotta say, I gave pretty shit advise now that I got context

just join BB and carry on lmao

[wheat seal]

U know black ppl at quant?

[true plank]

maybe if i publish my NLP paper SIG will look past my skin color

[young peak]

I got one singular friend, and I can say hands down he's the most handsome man I know

and he made other black friends there and they're all equally good looking

[peak ferry]

fucking same bro that’s how I ended up in Chicago

[runic wind]

You clearly haven't met @true plank

[young peak]

[peak ferry]

Tfw negative big tech offers

[young peak]

[runic wind]

Is haichi a quant Chad

[young peak]

[runic wind]

Like all of them

[peak ferry]

LOL I FEEL THIS IN MY BONES

Wait you're ditching quant offers for N?

[compact sundial]

[runic wind]

Why tho
Why
Tell me why

[young peak]

msft/meta?

[true plank]

i bought my ticket but getting my passport renewed has been the biggest pain in the ass

[runic wind]

That's like
Leaving 100K+ on the table

[austere grove]

No way

[true plank]

i bought everything, it's a race against time to get my passport in order

[wheat seal]

Isn’t meta laying off though

[young peak]

I think being with someone you love is worth more than TC icl

[runic wind]

Just spend that 100K on flights

Business class every weekend

[young peak]

long distance is a relationship killer bud

[true plank]

in huh?

[peak ferry]

damn what’s with the Chicago hate, so far I like it here

[runic wind]

+1 Chicago is great

[young peak]

Seattle so far has been so amazing

[runic wind]

But cheap Riverview apartments

[peak ferry]

Fall weather has been fucking great ngl

[young peak]

Gotta say bois, get on the other side rq because the tech life is amazing

[runic wind]

Try getting a river view apartment in NYC

[wheat seal]

Seattle is cool. I love how everything is walkable

[peak ferry]

Homeless fellows I’ve met in Chicago have actually been rather nice compared to the Bay Area

[young peak]

Alright I'mma hop off bois

[runic wind]

Also jazz

[young peak]

Keep up the good work

make sure y'all touch grass

[wheat seal]

Should I wake up at 6am daily to go to gym?

[true plank]

as opposed to?

[wheat seal]

Going at night

[peak ferry]

Low key also looking forward to a real winter but I’m guessing that gets old. Also need to get real winter gear

[wheat seal]

Like even during work week

Waking up at 6am

[true plank]

honestly i like going at night, showering and then passing out

[peak ferry]

ic

[runic wind]

Sleep++

[true plank]

dude I'll be out for like, 9 hours

it's crazy

[wheat seal]

I wish I moved in onni apartments in Seattle. They have squat rack inside

Maybe deadlift platform soon

Onni?

Like what

The management is solid

It’s just expensive as hell lol

Haven’t heard anything like that

Yea to start

That’s not even the total

With everything it’ll be like 3200-3300 minimum

A month rent

[peak ferry]

bruh are there no good gyms near by? Doesn’t sound worth

[wheat seal]

Yea there are good gyms

It’s just annoying to walk 15min

At night

I’m with traffic

[peak ferry]

that’s not v near

[wheat seal]

Honestly onni is the only good one

All the other apartments are luxury but not nearly as good

[peak ferry]

15min is like the max I’d regularly walk and thats begrudgingly

[wheat seal]

Yea that’s the situation I’m in lol

That’s why I feel like if I go in the AM

I’ll be better off

But it’s just tiring

Also is it really realistic to maintain?

[peak ferry]

my high IQ ass signed a lease 15min from work and I already and reconsidering my choices rofl — it’s okay enough tho and apt itself is v nice

[wheat seal]

SLU is safe tbh to walk at night

Never had anything strange happen

[wheat seal]

Ur in SLU?

[peak ferry]

I’m in Chicago m8

[wheat seal]

Oh

[peak ferry]

Reminds me I need to go out before shit closes

[wheat seal]

Mines 24/7

[surreal estuary]

apartment area recommendations? 😮

[wheat seal]

But yea Onni apt in seattle also has multiple indoor swimming pools

An indoor basketball court

Squat rack

And soon a deadlift platform

It’s pretty nuts. I’ll move there maybe eventually

[peak ferry]

south loop boring but close to my work, people I’ve met live in wicker and river north

[wheat seal]

Like 400sq ft studio would be $2700-2800/mth including everything

At onni

Rn I’m paying 2600 for 550 sq ft studio

But not at onni

[peak ferry]

also Lincoln park— idk squat about the area tho I landed like <36hr ago rofl

[wheat seal]

Ur working at citadel?

[peak ferry]

somehow some of the smartest folk I know failed Akuna

U copped better tho so no worries

[true plank]

interviews are simply broken

[wheat seal]

Did u see if optiver could give you remote option

[echo finch]

which is a skill issue on my part

[hexed moth]

i mean if u tell yourself that maybe

[teal jackal]

tbh being in a relationship is not a priority rn

i have good personal goals

but i feel like eventually ill feel lonely

probably once i enter full adulthood ill start feeling lonely

when im in a career

and no longer in college surrounded by a community setting

[hexed moth]

really

i feel like a lot of people that's the opposite

they dont meet more people once they graduate

outside of like work

[vital meteor]

Yep

[teal jackal]

i mean that itll be harder

[vital meteor]

Harder to meet people after grad

[teal jackal]

i mean that the community feeling will be gone after graduation

i feel like affter graduating is when ill finally feel lonely

and realize "fuck i cant solo my way through life"

[vital meteor]

You cant just go up to people and ask about random bs like hw

[teal jackal]

im gonna really miss college when i leave

[hexed moth]

that's why u go to a climbing gym LMAO

[teal jackal]

i hate college sometimes but overall i realize that im counting the days until a big phase of my life is over

[hexed moth]

oh im so over college

i cannot wait to ghost everyone from my uni

[teal jackal]

and from there, everything, from friends, life path, recreational activities, will be 100% on my own for me to figure out

i also have level 2 autism so ive always struggled with self-identity and figuring things out(im always late to figuring out things)

[hexed moth]

you'll figure things out dude

life isn't a race

[vital meteor]

Anyways theres always 2d

[hexed moth]

ya u can always rely on marin from my dress up darling

[vital meteor]

It’s hard for me to openly criticize a company I used to love and gave so much to. But @PayPal’s new AUP goes against everything I believe in. A private company now gets to decide to take your money if you say something they disagree with. Insanity. https://t.co/Gzf8faChUb

That policy was so strange to me when I read it on HN. Like what was even the purpose? To deter via fines? I don't get how it even was legal

[nocturne oriole]

Wrong channel, meant fulltimers

[autumn ridge]

LOL

[echo finch]

I might just retake it and say fuck it

[icy bough]

has anyone successfully negotiated with Bloomberg with a lower offer?

[vital meteor]

Yea

They gave me the lower tc

[icy bough]

i mean with a lower competitive offer

ohnok, im considering doing it but not sure if there’s any risk of getting my offer rescinded

[vital meteor]

No good company will rescind due to negotiation

I wouldnt worry about it

Worst case they say no

[nimble tinsel]

anyone knows what the max TC BB can offer is

included all bonus?

[gleaming fable]

Bruh we're not that bad lmao

[gleaming fable]

It's the Valhalla channel, we just shitpost in there and talk about gym and food gotta spend this SWE salary somehow

[vital meteor]

I've seen similar complaints made towards managers of all races lol

[foggy perch]

The retirement home

[vast rock]

Yall can someone point me somewhere that i can grind/review OS and cpp related knowledge?

Need it for hft interviews

[marsh sand]

Any list of London, UK openings?

can't barely find anything here

how u doin man

[timber rock]

Bright network and gradcracker has a list

[hoary kraken]

I'm receiving reminder for expedia online Strength Based Assessment but never actually got the test link. Did this happen with anybody else?

[slender apex]

Anyone here done a karat interview before? Could I dm

[clever orbit]

make sure yk graph questions

bfs/dfs on 2-d matrix and using adjacency matrix

[teal jackal]

what tf is the difference between the screening interview, the onsite, and the final
why do we need 6 hours of cumulative interviews

[west egret]

For which company?

[teal jackal]

overall

why does new grad job search need 6 cumulative hours of interviewing for each company

amazon was 45 mins and done

kinda based, but it is problematic since amazon sucks anyways

[wheat seal]

U got 1x30?

Oh u mean intern?

Intern is 1x45?

[teal jackal]

Yeah

So ez

[teal jackal]

making an indie game seems really tough tbh

now i understand why humble bundles come with like 700 games

[uncut umbra]

I fucking hate codesignal

[nocturne oriole]

String DP probs are common too

[clever orbit]

really

[nocturne oriole]

The only times i got dp probs in interviews was karat

Well actually some other interviews

[clever orbit]

fucc i didnt know that I got a redo tommorow

[nocturne oriole]

Expedia and that health startup that begins with an F

[clever orbit]

ngl i cba if i get a dp im fuccing off

[nocturne oriole]

I forget the name

In nyc

[nocturne oriole]

Tbh those string dp blind75 probs are worth learning u can memorize bottom up easy

I wouldnt focus a lot on dp

But for karat alone its good

[clever orbit]

yh sure

[floral plank]

grooking the coding interview dp section has been pretty useful

[uncut umbra]

had a nonproctored codesignal and question 4 was an n^2 algo that I got quickly, but timed out. however, the limits of the problem are 10^5 by 10^5. I tested it out on 10^6 by 10^6 and my algo computed in less than a second, but it says there's a TLE. I want to perish

[nocturne oriole]

Yes it’s fantastic

[old smelt]

You can likely just find the problem online next time, especially if it's unproctored

[late kestrel]

flatiron?

good thing they decided not to start interviewing yet then 🙂

[uncut umbra]

I tried, and did that solution too lmfao

[old smelt]

Cant do much then. Tho I've never seen n² solution for q4

Always either hashmap, binary search, or some optimization

[nocturne oriole]

Yes

Random but I really liked the mission tbh and it seemed like engineering talent was high but I have learned that something like that is prob better when ur a Senior imo

Cuz at that point u have already grown and u have a better idea on filtering and learning about companies

Since a lot of so called altruistic or mission based startups are still just trying to make $ or the execs pocket a ton anyways, are corrupt etc

The engineers i talked to there just seemed like regular, not especially passionate

[teal jackal]

i remember there was a convo here earlier about forward health

it was all about drinking the koolaid

and how everyone at forward is expected to be brainwashed with "we do it for the purpose"

[tardy geode]

codesignal is proctored always right? how did you get a non proctored one?

[tired hollow]

Yeah, Roblox usually asks LC tagged

[fossil jewel]

grokking is good but some stuff goes over my head

finna review it for bbg's vo

[night magnet]

Not always

Roblox was not

[teal jackal]

are u using the knapsack problem within the main grokking series

or the dedicated grokking dp guide

[uncut umbra]

samsara and roblox aren't proctored at least

[floral plank]

yea

samsara seems to have responded to no one

[teal jackal]

like after codesignal?

[floral plank]

yea

[teal jackal]

zmakes sesne

[winter loom]

Poll— amazon Seattle for 180 of Bloomberg nyc for 215 first year ? I want to stay in nyc so I’m leaning Bloomberg but curious to know whether career progression is gonna hurt bc of it

[shrewd ocean]

i mean u can always switch after a yr or so

[small mountain]

bloomberg > amazon

[loud olive]

180 first year or 180 recurring?

[wheat seal]

First yr

It’s standard

[loud olive]

What’s recurring then?

[wheat seal]

Can’t negotiate ng

[wheat seal]

It’s like odd because of vest schedule

[autumn ridge]

I'm not sure how much you negotiated the base at BB but I would take a longer term view on the comp. Also with BB the bonus money is paid out in February of the following year.

I think Amazon probably slightly wins out as far as compensation especially if you factor COL. Can't go wrong either way I would probably take Amazon

[peak ferry]

Amazon TC is basically flat, the mix just changes from sign to vesting

[wheat seal]

Bloomberg is safer though

U don’t know what team or work ull get at amazon

It’s roulette

[autumn ridge]

That's true but same goes for BB you don't get hired on too a team but they have a training process

[peak ferry]

If u like nyc that would be my main factor tbh

[wheat seal]

But on average better culture

So less risky

[loud olive]

Seattle weather can be brutal

[wheat seal]

Only benefit of Seattle is that it feels like a college campus

[autumn ridge]

I don't know much about layoffs/pip at BB but definitely safer. My opinion though is that the vast majority of people if you work hard will be fine at Amazon

[wheat seal]

Bb isn’t even on stock market. It’s 100% safe.

[lunar hatch]

DoorDash vs Bloomberg vs 2sigma(hypothetically)?

[wheat seal]

It’s not affected even by a percent

[autumn ridge]

Yeah I meant safer in terms of layoff/pip not stock price

[wheat seal]

It’s private company

Ik I was just saying it’s a private company that isn’t affected by current recession in the slightest

Also better culture on average

I’d def choose BB

155k base in nyc is amazing

Definitely won’t struggle

[shrewd ocean]

its alr

[lunar hatch]

Long term would like to stay in tech, but def okay with hft short term

[loud olive]

Why doesn’t bb give stock btw?

[wheat seal]

Private

[small mountain]

they dont have stock

[autumn ridge]

I don't think they ever plan on going public so it wouldn't make sense

[loud olive]

Oh okay

[wheat seal]

Lol it’s definitely amazing for ng. Mongodb only pays 120k base

Mongodb is top tier too I’d say

Barely any nyc companies that will pay 155k base in nyc

And just live in queens or Brooklyn

[autumn ridge]

You have to take into account the RSU's when comparing offers though if the company is public. Obviously you have more volatility and with how things have been lately BB all cash looks a lot more attractive but you would've missed out on a lot of stock growth over the past 10 years for example at basically any tech company

[split plaza]

2s easily

[autumn ridge]

Thoughts on Snap LA vs BB NYC?

[wheat seal]

Bb

I wouldn’t join snap

Rn

At least

[lunar hatch]

What about doordash vs bbg tho?

[small mountain]

doordash

[wheat seal]

Did u get BB?

[autumn ridge]

Yeah I did

[wheat seal]

Congrats

[autumn ridge]

ty ty

[wheat seal]

Just take that lol

Don’t even bother with a company that did layoffs now

[autumn ridge]

yeah I just got the base offer so I'm trying to get at least one other offer so I can negotiate it up

[wheat seal]

Job security is #1

[autumn ridge]

I've never lived in NYC so I'm nervous about having to move to the city. Also loved interning at Snap and my team and really like LA but I know logically it would be way safer

Also haven't gotten Snap offer yet but I'm suppose to hear back this week

[wheat seal]

Yea I wouldn’t trust snap

It’d be different 3 yrs ago

At least for me I wouldn’t feel comfortable joining a company that just went through layoffs

[fossil jewel]

too many people out of touch

honestly if you know how to live within your means 100k+ is enough for a decent living

[wheat seal]

155k u can easily save in Brooklyn

[fossil jewel]

i was raised in bk with family making wayy less

[wheat seal]

Don’t need a car either

[shrewd ocean]

ya were not tryna live a "decent" life tho

[wheat seal]

But what other companies even pay 150k+ base nyc for ng

Besides faang

[shrewd ocean]

faang+

[wheat seal]

So it’s more than alr then

If faang+ is paying that

[shrewd ocean]

ya its pretty good actually

[prime palm]

bloomberg for sure

[fossil jewel]

issue with faang is the instability we're seeing

[shrewd ocean]

was just thinking nyc is super expensive

[fossil jewel]

nyc is expensive sure, but it all depends on where you live

[modern socket]

bruh

[fossil jewel]

regardless of where, 155k base is more than enough

[autumn ridge]

I mean it is expensive and even if you make 155k. Like I have a fiance and a dog and from the little I've looked so far everything we could afford is about a 25 min commute to manhattan.

Like obviously you can make it work on that salary but you might be more comfertable in a different city at a similar comp depending on what is important to you

[fossil jewel]

depending on your needs you might decide if you're okay with a longer commute

[shrewd ocean]

lol this is actually so wrong

i live in texas

[autumn ridge]

That's just bc COL calculator way over index on ability to purchase a home

[shrewd ocean]

specify then

[autumn ridge]

And are pecentaged based and don't account for the difference in saving 10% of 80k vs 10% of 200k

[wheat seal]

Brooklyn u can get 700sq studio for =< 2000

Which is pretty good

For 155k base

[shrewd ocean]

is bklyn a nice place to live tho

[wheat seal]

Yea it is

[fossil jewel]

ye some areas are nice

[wheat seal]

It’s been gentrified

[night magnet]

Good

[fossil jewel]

manhattan be expensive

[prime palm]

what website this

it not that serious

[fossil jewel]

whats this site?

[night magnet]

https://www.nerdwallet.com/cost-of-living-calculator/

[winter loom]

Would y’all say bb is a career hit if I wanna bounce into faang tech tho?

[prime palm]

thanks baby

[prime palm]

idts

[night magnet]

No

[fossil jewel]

i mean you can

[prime palm]

im doing the opposite lul

fb => bloomberg

(if i get offer)

and hoping to bounce back to like g/fb later on

[fossil jewel]

i see people at smaller places get into faang

[shrewd ocean]

heard a lot of google nyc office is ex bloom

[fossil jewel]

had some ppl from jpm get into meta

[winter loom]

This is me too lol

[prime palm]

bloomberg has the upside of helping you get into hfts too

if you care about cit / js / hrt

[autumn ridge]

I don’t think so like maybe it might be slightly less regarded then other FAANG but it’s more then enough to get you past resume screen and at that point is just down to passing the interview loop

[prime palm]

it's not like bloomberg is a bad offer

[wheat seal]

U were intern?

[prime palm]

it's like 190k in nyc

[late kestrel]

just keep in mind these are so generalized, if youre money smart at all itll be better than it looks

[wheat seal]

Yea no one is going to be like “ew bloomberg” lol

Iike at that point, u just need to interview the person and see

How’s that possible

Isn’t the purpose of nerd wallet col adjustment

Noooo lol

[sonic coral]

Google NY comes from all over

[wheat seal]

SF has more homeless and crime and more expensive

[shrewd ocean]

holy shit sf and manhattan r ridiculous col

[wheat seal]

I’d take Seattle any day over sf

But nyc is better than both

By leagues

[static moth]

i need friends in nyc next year

[wheat seal]

Sf has all the problems of nyc and Seattle basically except worse

Seattle feels like a college campus basically and there’s some things to do. But not a whole lot. Like Seattle doesn’t even have a mall

Nyc has a lot more to do, more diversity, better scene for virtually everything

[sonic coral]

Yeah all the nightlife is concentrated in cap hill

Whereas in nyc you have nightlife literally everywhere

[wheat seal]

Some in belltown too like saravejo

Same lol

So u kept the same pay

Oh so they just saw sf and Seattle both as hcol

After using nerd wallet?

[sonic coral]

True most of the clubs are in belltown and downtown right

[wheat seal]

Then why’d u mention col

Is that ADP?

[wheat seal]

Yea and cap hill

[prime palm]

I played sea of thieves @tawdry skiff

[winter loom]

seattle 180k is waaay more than nyc 200k

thought it'd be about the same 💀

[wheat seal]

Why’d u use nerd wallet then

[teal jackal]

I am suffering

[wheat seal]

Not way more. Live in Brooklyn

[sonic coral]

Wellll no it’s not an extreme diff

It’s more yes

But not wayyyyy more

[nocturne oriole]

A 2500 apartment in seattle is prob same as 3500 in nyc so it’s sorta equivalent?

Not wayyy like said above

[wheat seal]

U can find a 2k 700 sq ft studio I’m Brooklyn

[winter loom]

yeah way better in brooklyn than manhattan

[wheat seal]

If u wanna live in manhattan it’s a different story

[shrewd ocean]

seattle 180 is brooklyn 208

[sonic coral]

Arguably queens is king for col

[late kestrel]

yeah this is why i said you need to take that col calc with a grain of salt. if you are better than your avg american with money things are a lot closer

[nocturne oriole]

It’s not about what u “can” find but what u get for some $. If u want good location near office and good sq footage etc then those are ur numbers

[shrewd ocean]

why is manhattan so expensive?

[wheat seal]

Brooklyn is close though

[sonic coral]

Being outside the city doesn’t automatically mean bad location

[wheat seal]

It’s a 30 minute commute

Basically

Which isn’t bad at all

[nocturne oriole]

I know but i have exceptionally high standards for a commute. 10 min walk or bust

I can walk 10 min and get free food, it’s a great life lol

[wheat seal]

Idk id be much happier paying less than 2k for rent and saving a ton

[nocturne oriole]

I have lived in nyc as well, there are plenty of great spots and u can just work remote which makes this all moot. But the root of this convo is the 180 seattle vs 200 nyc comparison, which seems very fair tbh

Somewhat equivalent

[night magnet]

Where you like doesn’t change how money smart you are. It assumes you are the same level of money smart which makes sense.

[dusky plover]

ooooga 🐒 boooga 🐒 oook ook 🐒 oooooook 🐒

[night magnet]

I feel like all in it’s close to 40%

[nocturne oriole]

Nyc fucks u in other ways because of the amazing fuckin life there food museums etc, but that’s on YOU to control ur spending

[wheat seal]

I feel like remote is only for like SDE 2 and above. But some smaller tech companies do like afresh and draftkings for ng

[night magnet]

A good calculator does ya

True

[nocturne oriole]

Seattle takes about 25% in taxes at end of day. I think nyc 35 to 40%

[sonic coral]

This doesn’t require living in the city lol

[late kestrel]

no but it does generalize the whole city together. with higher highs, you can get lower lows

[sonic coral]

Many parts of the outer boroughs are super walkable with tons of amazing bars / food spots

[nocturne oriole]

I am referring to walking distance from ur tech office

Free food

[wheat seal]

I mean if u can save 2k on rent then I think ur fine

[sonic coral]

Well you can still get stuff outside your office for lunch and not live near your office

[wheat seal]

U can buy all organic food and eat great

[nocturne oriole]

This is prob better yeah

I get it tho it’s fair just priorities

Tailoring the new grad experience to office life is surprisingly awesome

My experience at least

Full remote woulda wrecked me

[wheat seal]

What company are u at that location doesn’t matter @reef kettle

Palantir pays universal?

That’s really odd

It’s remote?

[nocturne oriole]

I could give u a laundry list of perks but the best ones imo are free food, gym, a 401k match

[fossil jewel]

good food places in nyc arent that expensive

there's some hidden gems that are cheap

[nocturne oriole]

If it’s nyc good luck finding good mexican food

[fossil jewel]

there's a lot of mexicans in nyc lmao, not like CA but still a good portion

[wheat seal]

U had google internship?

[fossil jewel]

brooklyn or queens

[wheat seal]

Why’d u leave

[nocturne oriole]

Im mexican it was a regular topic of convo with mex friends the east coast is supremely weak on mex food

The ingredients alone are not up to par

[wheat seal]

Probably better in cali

[fossil jewel]

yeah thats fair

[wheat seal]

What’s odd is in Seattle I barely see any Hispanic

I have maybe seen 1

[fossil jewel]

but queens got pretty good food places

[nocturne oriole]

Not a knock on the quality of nyc food tho, it’s easily best overall in country

Hands down

Haters are wrong

[fossil jewel]

nyc got options

[wheat seal]

@tawdry skiff are u a recent grad?

[rain patio]

how long does it take to hear back after decomp and learning round from palantir

[nocturne oriole]

Growing up as an nyc dominican is one of the best food experiences tho yeah

Yes PR the same probably

[foggy perch]

free food = more money tho

[nocturne oriole]

(I am not dominican, just friends and the food i had)

[rain patio]

[wheat seal]

Just bring ur own salt

And mrs dash

[loud olive]

Free food at companies is honestly an underrated factor when it comes to recruiting

[fossil jewel]

jpm didnt have free food but it was cheap

plate of salmon was $8

[rain patio]

Dnt mfers got Michelle star chefs or something

How could they mess up seasoning with salt

[fossil jewel]

i hear google nyc got good food

[cold aurora]

Do you guys(who graduate in May 2023) apply for summer internships? Or do you only apply for full time jobs?

[wheat seal]

U can’t apply for internships now. At least most

[brazen lily]

Yeah ^

[timber rock]

Mostly just ft

[wheat seal]

Unless u graduate in December 2023, it’s unlikely ull get internship

[lament summit]

@pale kettle hey whats ur timeline for pin offer?

[slate bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/salt-pile-of-salt-pile_of_salt-pile-gif-19467606

[hasty birch]

Which ones?

[wary quest]

Hey guys do you think it’s ok to reapply to a company you bombed their OA with another mail to get another chance?

[wheat seal]

I mean they know ur resume

[wary quest]

Really, they could figure that out of 1000’s of applications?. Crazy

Thanks by the way

[wheat seal]

I mean u could try

[grizzled bronze]

Amazon detects and merges accounts

[wheat seal]

I mean it’s really easy to, u can only change ur resume so much

U have to put ur name and university and they easily can see geolocation where you applied from, and projects u put even

[vital meteor]

Yep I had to make a new fake identity and change my legal name for it to work

[sonic coral]

Exactly lol

[fossil jewel]

you became John?

[lament summit]

hes not John

[fossil jewel]

he made a new identity so im guessing its john

[autumn ridge]

I tried this a bunch of places once i got a better code signal score and it didn’t work any where lol

[vital meteor]

Is grinding to get citadel even worth

[grizzled bronze]

Depends on the person and their goals, but not worth it to me

[nocturne oriole]

He changed his name to Juan

[vital meteor]

True but the jump in TC is huge though

Most companies feel like side grades now except for like Netflix and hfts

[uncut umbra]

is grinding the determining factor here? if you know you can get in with grinding then maybe it's worth, but if it's still a toss up after the grind I'd say no

[vital meteor]

Well I'm just thinking about my next step

[uncut umbra]

has anyone else stopped caring about tc and focusing instead on having a job?

[vital meteor]

Moving to another faang wont be much of an upgrade

[autumn ridge]

You can look at levels.fyi and decide for yourself. I think a lot of times people use “worth it” to kind of gloss over the effort required to get somewhere. It a lot easier to say something isn’t worth it vs admitting you aren’t able to put in the amount of effort or capable of reaching whatever thing. You can even see those kind of takes all the time in people discussing regular FAANG

[vital meteor]

Yea true, the only other consideration is the bad rep with citadel of wlb lol

Tf how did my name change

usually tc isnt guaranteed thou right, some of it will be monopoly money

ill just join @dusty basin startup

yea i notice this alot in linkedin hmm

[fossil jewel]

people job hop all the time

you're not bound to stay at the same place if you dont want to

[glass kraken]

do u know the numbers I'm curious

[frozen tapir]

easily bb

[uncut umbra]

500 apps reached

thank you lockheed martin

[cold aurora]

Does anyone consider shifting graduation date from may 2023 to December 2023 to try to get into faang company if you won’t be able to this semester??

[uncut umbra]

not trying to pay 30k more to avoid that

I'll just job hop worst case

[cold aurora]

Are you still gonna apply for new grad, or for roles with some experience required?

[uncut umbra]

new grad

[dusky plover]

@cold aurora youre better off graduating early so u wont have school that will get in the way of the ng grind

[azure zephyr]

doordash oa was actually ridiculous lmao

two LC hards

i gave up tbh

couldn't figure out why my solution wouldnt work for a dp problem

so only got 7/14 on one & 10/14 on the other

[wheat seal]

I bet their engineers can’t solve either. Most companies don’t care about OA too so it’s odd. Like resume is what they really look at

[azure zephyr]

yeah whatever i didnt want to be stuck in their wlb hell anyways (copium)

[old vector]

does atlassian ask leetcode hards

[wheat seal]

No. Like easy to medium. Interviewed with them last year. So don’t know how they are this year

[vast rock]

Can someone tell me the phone and vo difference between HRT algo eng and core swe?

I know oa is diff thats fine

But idk which one i would have a better chance at

[teal jackal]

im makin lasagna for dinner rn

im hyped

not sure why i replied

i think i left the chat open by accident

[cold aurora]

What about trying to get an internship at faang company and trying to get a return offer? Cause i feel like there are more internships rn than ng, and its easier to get it. Correct me if im wrong

[teal jackal]

i want free food, dgaf about the ping pong table tbh

[primal pike]

most faangs hire new grads for next years so I don't get the point of graduating early in many cases

like most people could delay grad by 6 months and still apply for new grad

[primal pike]

might be my case but that's cause math is kicking my ass 😭

Never taking calc 3 again

you could also be unemployed for 6 months

i guess

i definitely dont wanna delay my grad in purpose tho

as Ive a return offer already

[cold aurora]

How do you feel about paying for additional semester?

[primal pike]

not a big deal for me my univ is cheap af

$800 a class

some of yall are paying like 3k a class or smth

[teal jackal]

just hop

1 YoE is an advantage

[rain patio]

Did anyone do IXL hackerrank?

[teal jackal]

and for FAANG level university hiring, they hire for up to 12 months past grad

[rain patio]

Just finished it and it was kind of doable

[cold aurora]

Or maybe getting a masters could be an option. You would have 2 more summers to get summer internships and return offers consequently

[wheat seal]

I’d get a masters tbh or at least apply

And then still apply to job postings now

[cold aurora]

Did you manage to get good summer internship because of this?

[wheat seal]

Would u care if u got something like GM or ADP? Or do you want something more prestigious

[nova vale]

The best advice I can give you if you want to do this is try to figure out what you want to do, and place yourself at an internship that gets you closest to that.

This is very true too

Imagine if you had done an MS to intern at Facebook

and now you're 💀

[cold aurora]

If thats the company you want to work for full time, then its fine

[teal jackal]

this is super true, it makes applying for new grad roles you want the most a lot easier

[wheat seal]

I was asking if u care. I’m not in uni now

High 700 is fine enough tho

Mostly matters about resume after that

[wheat seal]

I was more so talking about for ng. Like I was just saying since a lot of tech companies froze ng, it’s probably best if u go for masters if u want to aim for something more in line with ur goals

Or if u don’t care about how prestigious ur company is

And just want something decent. That’s why I asked if u care if u got GM or ADP or even JPM

[hexed moth]

https://boards.greenhouse.io/cloudflare/jobs/4557684?gh_jid=4557684

go get it y'all

[wheat seal]

I’m pretty sure cloudfare has take home project

[cold aurora]

I care about getting a return offer

[hexed moth]

i mean

[sonic coral]

Cloudflare’s a good company tho

[hexed moth]

doesnt hurt if u have no job lmao

[sonic coral]

And their take home isn’t bad

[hexed moth]

offer

[wheat seal]

Yea it is

[sonic coral]

I did it last cycle their take home is just a basic api

[cold aurora]

From a company I would want to work for full time

[wheat seal]

I think going for masters is easier and trying for internship would be

[sonic coral]

It’s not like neeva where it’s a whole ass project

[wheat seal]

Oh nice.

[sonic coral]

Cloudflare take home imo is the direction the industry should go rather than leetcode but that’s just my hot take

[wheat seal]

I only had take home with kayak and hubspot

Hubspot take home was pretty difficult for me

And was a time sink I think

[sonic coral]

Hubspot takehome was also a rather basic api no?

[nova vale]

Not sure I agree with this, but I honestly have no way to refute it haha

[sonic coral]

Just call this api, parse some data and that’s it

[nova vale]

And the opportunity cost is pretty high

Again, this is all as someone who did the masters+internship

[sonic coral]

I think he’s saying in the current market

[wheat seal]

Yea I’m not too great with front end though. It was a bit more involved I think

[sonic coral]

Oh I didn’t apply frontend lol

[wheat seal]

Yea front end was tricky for Hubspot for me

I only made basic projects too

[sonic coral]

Yeah frontend takehomes can fuck off but I hate frontend so lol

But api takehomes are freebies imo

[wheat seal]

Oh I didn’t try their backend

[nova vale]

Fair as well, still not sure if it's true, but I think we'd honestly need a much larger amount of data than our personal experiences to actually have a good discussion

[wheat seal]

I mean I was talking about if u want to get into a more prestigious company

Cuz a lot of tech companies are on freeze for ng

[teal jackal]

tbh now i know you can get sub-800 with q4

[nova vale]

Right, so you're saying intern at one of the companies you consider more prestigious then convert to fulltime?

q2 is usually a freebie but sometimes they hit with some real nasty curveballs tbh

Yea and also to delay your new grad hunt to the future

Or settle for adp, gm or jpm

not this season, or at least i assume it'll be non-auto this time

[wheat seal]

That’s good to hear

Sure, but if you fail the interviews for those, then you're in a strictly worse position now, and who knows if that conversion is guaranteed. I personally would rather work at one of those companies, and then apply 1 year in.
