[formal fable]

Hopefully it works out. It has worked once for me out of dozens of seminars. Company named TuSimple gave me an OA for their internship when I reached out to the HR lady who was actively taking in requests during the seminar. In most cases, that's now what happens.

[prime palm]

Sounds good

Yeah

[latent sun]

What the fuck was the Doordash OA

Was it 2D DP or something on first one?

[young peak]

I've attended only one seminar ever

Got Robinhood, McKinsey and Vanguard interviews out of it

but no conversions to offer so skill issue ig lmao

[prime palm]

Damn at least you got the oa though

Still ghosted

😭😭😭

[night magnet]

Interesting

I don’t see anything >144k for ng tho

So not really worth

[wheat seal]

what is mckinsey

[wary palm]

Hey guys, Can anyone list down the companies that send instant codesignal Online assessment?

[night magnet]

Consulting

[coral finch]

https://app.codesignal.com/get-certified?invite=TGy6wcugpm4LMFEQX

it's pinned

[wary palm]

lol, they rejected me at 833.

[wary palm]

The page redirected me to the test centre.

[coral finch]

where you take the test?

[wary palm]

Yes.

[coral finch]

wait what?

[last summit]

it should add an invite from bloom institute to your test center

[wary palm]

Lemme disable the browser extensions. Maybe they are messing with the link

[last summit]

or just apply to ziprecruiter again for another invite tbh lmao

[wary palm]

Nah bruh. Am done with ZipRecruiter stomping on my self-esteem.

[last summit]

oh I thought you just wanted an invite to retake the test

[wary palm]

No, I want to share my test results to as many companies as possible before they expire.

with*

[wary palm]

Worked this time. Thank you.

[last summit]

well that link is not a company so i wouldnt really do that lol

[coral finch]

i got screen sharing keeps dropping

maybe my extensions from Chrome. aware

[wary palm]

f.

[ebon quiver]

hey guys whats another word for "onboarding" someone on to a service. like whats another way to say that

[wheat seal]

ramping up

[wary palm]

for real?

[wheat seal]

yea

[wary palm]

Sounds like humping up.

[ebon quiver]

lmao tf

[ebon quiver]

that works but maybe something a bit more official

[sweet urchin]

Situating

[wheat seal]

acclimitizing

[ebon quiver]

lmaooo

holup

[wary palm]

It says 'loaded'

[ebon quiver]

yeah i checked that none of those ework

[wary palm]

lol google be like

[sweet urchin]

Acclimating,

[wheat seal]

acllimitizing works

[wheat seal]

yea thanks lol

[lament summit]

change the

Facebook Ad Onboarding to

Facebook Ad New User process

then u can keep ur second onboarding

[ebon quiver]

i feel like there is a better way to say new user then

initialization

setup

[lament summit]

yep any of those

[ebon quiver]

but onboarding is like the perfect word there

bring someone on board u know

[coral finch]

we need an English major in here

just pay

[marble bronze]

Introduced and trained?

[sweet urchin]

Or just a thesaurus lol

[marble bronze]

Something like that maybe

[ebon quiver]

i tried this

[ebon quiver]

i dont think those work unfortunately

[marble bronze]

Oh I see the context now

[ebon quiver]

ok setup will have to do i think

gotta be a better wor

customer success rate. does the context carry there ?

[west egret]

That’s surprising. I feel like average is 2 questions per VO round.

[autumn ridge]

Yeah it was weird kind of. Both questions were solid medium matrix/graph traversal questions. We spent a decent amount of time talking about trade offs of different approaches of DFS vs BFS. My first interviewer though we were done in about 15 min with the coding and we talked about bloomberg and what she does at BB for about 20 min. The second interviewer asked a bunch of follow ups

[fossil jewel]

dang thats nice for the first one

manifesting this

[autumn ridge]

right lol. We really hit it off I think I just got lucky all the way around with the BB process.

Hardest round was EM for me the interviewer grilled me on my resume

[timber rock]

Why is Visa hackerrank 9 questions

Tf

[autumn ridge]

I prepped for it but it was still tough

[strange ore]

lmaoo

[coral finch]

the fuck???

[west egret]

Aren't DFS and BFS both O(n) though?

[autumn ridge]

I thought visa was codesignal?

[coral finch]

it's not codesignal ?

[timber rock]

Nope

[formal fable]

Like I said, these are specialized roles/teams/sub-companies, and few in number. I wouldn't expect a lot of data on this on levels.fyi

[timber rock]

Might be diff here I'm in the uk

[sudden depot]

has anyone taken an oa on modernhire?

[coral finch]

what's modernhire?

[vale cargo]

Does Bloomberg call to reject????

[coral finch]

congrats on offer

[vale cargo]

Yoooo

[sudden depot]

it's an interviewing platform

[west egret]

congrats!

[shrewd ocean]

dam this was rlly hard??

[autumn ridge]

generally but it depends on what you want to do. For the specific problem you could technically use a bidirectional BFS that would fundementally change the time complexity

They didn't ask to implement that but I just mentiond it

[formal fable]

These mofos at BB keep getting nervous about my ML experience (limited). 3 rounds successively asked me about my ML background and its non-relevance to the role. Lol.

[autumn ridge]

For me yeah. I was lucky that I heard other people with similiar experiences before so I prepped for it

I would've failed it though if I just went in blind

[shrewd ocean]

dam wtf how do u even prep for that tho

[fossil jewel]

know your resume well

be prepared to talk about the choices you made and some alternatives

[west egret]

So EM round just be able to talk about all the entries on your resume?

[autumn ridge]

For me personally I have my internship project from Snap highlighted pretty heavily on my resume. So I prepped being able to talk in depth about the technologies used for it and the design tradeoffs

[fossil jewel]

i heard thats the case

my vo is on wed so i shall see how that goes

[autumn ridge]

Which is actually pretty difficult imo bc the systems are complex and I was just an intern so I practiced explaining the project and systems a short amount of time and made sure I had my basis covered for the technologies used

[west egret]

same actually

[formal fable]

Resume and also be ready to answer the typical question "Why BB and/or this team?"

[west egret]

Idk anything about which team though lol

they never mentioned a specific team

[fossil jewel]

i think for us its general

why bbg is the big q

[autumn ridge]

They don't even interview for specific teams bc everyone goes through their bootcamp. They did ask anything specific at BB I would be excited about and I just talked about their open source stuff

Which ties into why BB

[fossil jewel]

yeah their terminal is also pretty cool

[shrewd ocean]

after what round?

[sinful hawk]

anyone know about exodus point ?

just received an OA test

[cobalt siren]

@vale cargo congrats! How was your em round?

Weird, I didn’t do any conferences and I only have 2 rounds for final after phone

and I thought no sys design this year

[vale cargo]

Thanks! It was chill he just asked me to talk about a project on my resume and my interests and why Bloomberg

[cobalt siren]

Gotcha thanks! Any idea if it’s standardized? Or could I get sys design depending on interviewer?

[vale cargo]

I think majority of them are like that but some people get unlucky

[cobalt siren]

Gotcha thanks, congrats again!

[jaunty basalt]

That’s probably the case, idk why they dropped it

But two rounds

That’s really short

[cobalt siren]

Where did you get that link from?

[cobalt siren]

Yeah I’m surprised, but that’s what my handbook says - didn’t attend any conference

[jaunty basalt]

My recruiter when I interviewed

Just took it from the email

[ebon quiver]

is it better to do bb interviews in person

or to do them virtually ?

[wicked rivet]

they let you do them in person?

oh are u in nyc

[ebon quiver]

they do in person for some colleges

but idk if thats better or worse

cuz it seems like i have the opportunity to do either

[timber rock]

I wld do in person for everything if given the choice

But dunno if it makes a difference in your app

[ebon quiver]

why

what if they make u white board

gg

[timber rock]

Cause I hate talking on calls lol

It's so awkward

[ebon quiver]

bruh

thats crazy

i love calls

[cobalt siren]

Ah ok, when did you interview? Got this handbook last week

[jaunty basalt]

I got the offer in January

The only thing I did before January was the OA

[wheat seal]

Same lol

Hope we stick with calls forever

[ebon quiver]

fax

if we had to do real life white boarding itd be over

[wheat seal]

I don’t want to fly

[ebon quiver]

i mean i. dont have a job regardless but like

[ebon quiver]

that part seems fun tho

free vacations basically

[wheat seal]

Last year I would had to flown out 4 times lol

[ebon quiver]

oh damn nice

[floral plank]

is ebay oa auto?

[timber rock]

I guess it's diff here where 90% of companies are in 1 city which is only an hour flight away

Wouldn't want to fly across america for intrviews

[waxen bolt]

Anyone have experience with the PLTR learning interview? Any tips on how to do well on it?

[agile niche]

Is anyone in the Google APM process by any chance?

Heard there's like 5 seats left but recruiters are mass scheduling calls. Is that true?

[ebon quiver]

i dont think its auto but it didnt seem too hard t oget

[lament summit]

Pray

[urban escarp]

Lol was it rough

[errant karma]

Hi,
This is the eBay Emerging Talent team reaching out because our Internship & Recent College Grad roles are now open. Please check out our open roles here: https://app.ripplematch.com/company/ebay/
Once you submit your application you will receive an email with next steps.
Best,
Emerging Talent

Good luck everyone

[autumn ridge]

has anyone heard back after OA?

I sent a 844 but no response yet

[errant karma]

for Ebay?

[autumn ridge]

ye

[floral plank]

so is it auto?

[errant karma]

I got the email because I attended a webinar hosted by eBay

But I suspected it is auto

[old vector]

when do yall think the next round of apps are coming out?

[floral plank]

Is the bloomberg on campus interview in two parts?

Cuz mine is one hour

[ebon quiver]

i think its one hour two times

[floral plank]

so do I do it on another day? cuz they made me scheudle for one hour

[limber grove]

Made it to the final round of ibm and then got an email saying position got cancelled. Do you think that’s true or is it just a nice way of saying we chose someone else?

[autumn ridge]

I don't have any inside knowledge but based on the job postings it seems IBM recruiters for specific positions not general new grad applications so that seems pretty believable

I would reach out to the recruiter and see if they can move you to any other open positions

[hasty birch]

Yes

[floral plank]

Is the second part auto or would I have pass first one?

[hasty birch]

I think you have to pass first one

[fallen fox]

anyone get amazon oa recently

by recently i mean after the 1st week of sept

[lilac narwhal]

Are there any serious implications for reneg an offer? Context: Wanting to try and recruit for a more prestigious/better paying company

[fallen fox]

depends on the company, some might blacklist you, others might not care

amazon afaik doesn't care if you renege

[ebon quiver]

guys is cold messaging recruiters on linkedin the move

like is that ctualyl gonne be good

[autumn ridge]

It can work but it's RNG

[ebon quiver]

ok so i might as well

[lilac narwhal]

Will reneg affect my chances with other companies?

Like will they be like “this guys bad news”

[errant gorge]

i don't think so

[fallen fox]

they wouldn't know

[autumn ridge]

Better strat I think is to find out who the actual recruiter is and message them through friends or on here

[fallen fox]

unless you tell them ofc

[ebon quiver]

what do u lose

i might as well reach out to every single one on linked in

maybe on will erpply

@azure zephyr isnt that what you did ?

[autumn ridge]

I think you only get so many messages per month even with premium

[deft crow]

Got me my snap interview last year

Def worth

[ebon quiver]

can you show me the message you used

[deft crow]

Hey Ali! I'm a rising Junior at UMich interested in going into the AR/VR industry and Snap is one of my top companies because of that, was hoping to connect and hopefully learn more about opportunities at Snap!

[ebon quiver]

bet

thanks love

[deft crow]

np 👍

Also worth doing at Apple since they recruit by team

so you getting noticed by a specific team will help your chances a lot

[ebon quiver]

cold recruitimg?

[deft crow]

yeah

[ebon quiver]

the whole issue is i cant get interviews

i just need interviews

[deft crow]

messaging people on a specific team and recruiters

[azure zephyr]

i reached out to about 5

[ebon quiver]

i should prolly stick to companies that are hiring right

[deft crow]

Probably yea

Kinda curious, are any FAANG still recruiting anymore?

heard Amz is on freeze

[floral plank]

Netflix?

Apple?

[deft crow]

Ah nice nice

[ebon quiver]

and did any of thoes help ?

netflix didnt even response

[deft crow]

haven't heard ab ppl getting Apple interviews

[ebon quiver]

oh ima start with netflix recruiter

:D

[loud olive]

anyone know the final round process for databricks?

[floral plank]

someone people in process got phone

[azure zephyr]

yes def

[deft crow]

ay nice good for them

[azure zephyr]

linkedin is how i got into the process for vanta & atlassian

[ebon quiver]

when choosing who to contact.

[ebon quiver]

you go with just anyone of em

[coral finch]

Oof. Heard it’s 100k on 100 openings

[ebon quiver]

gg

[coral finch]

Nordstrom if you wanna try

[autumn ridge]

idk how many openings but BB recruiter told me it was 40k applications

[ebon quiver]

what message did you use that worked for you

[ebon quiver]

bb proly has like 40k spots

seeing how much they are friggin interviewing

friggin crazies

yeah we can tell

[grizzled bronze]

It's worth a shot, but I wouldn't expect anything. A recruiter told someone there are over 30K apps or more ahead of them and to make it a fair and equitable process they can't speed up the timeline for anyone.

[marble bronze]

I got resume rejected from bb

😦

[coral finch]

Same

[marble bronze]

But I applied late, so that might be why

[ebon quiver]

then maybe i should focus to do it on smaller companies idk

ther eis no way this works

hmm wait wait

maybe i response to recruiters who replied to my post

rip no recruiters

[grizzled bronze]

#2023_grads message

[ebon quiver]

oh damn

yeah dang. Netflix is a lost cause

I just wish I got some feedback on my resume to understand why they won't choose mine

maybe ifs j not an experience match

[fallen fox]

does bb even interview you if you are from a no-name school? idk if it's even worth applying

[thick shell]

Hey guys quick question: Realistically in an OA/interview setting how long should it take me to solve unseen Easy, Mediums, and Hards consistently? Assuming I'm given two questions in an hour (any difficulty) and want to crush any interview. Just want to know the bench mark I should be aiming for.

[ebon quiver]

j do it. u don't lose much

[timber rock]

20 mins ish for mediums imo

[ebon quiver]

fax. ima j blame the shitty economy

for my shitty results straight up

[foggy perch]

only worth putting more bullet points if they're worth something and have space

[thick shell]

Ok bet, and I'm assuming 10 minutes for easies? and 30 minutes for hards as well?

[timber rock]

sounds right

amazon gives 30 mins for hards

[foggy perch]

my resume strategy is literally just add work experience, and include bullets w/ action verbs, numbers, and sound technical

[thick shell]

I see

[foggy perch]

imagine getting a hard from amazon

[timber rock]

i got 2 bro

in a row

[foggy perch]

f

I got two easy mediums lmao

this is the reason why amazon waitlist must be huge

[lime current]

lmao

bloomberg interviewer not showing up

[foggy perch]

f

[timber rock]

i got 273. integer to english words and 1597. build binary expression tree from infix expression

30 mins each

[coral finch]

PAUSE

[foggy perch]

i got merge intervals and a basic api question lol

[thick shell]

Also how do y'all deal with forgetting what you learned previously and constantly having to go back to stuff you covered? A big problem of mine is I keep forgetting shit sometimes any tips that worked for y'all are appreciated.

[timber rock]

bruh

[foggy perch]

just review whenever you need it

[timber rock]

i feel scammed

[foggy perch]

rip

I still got waitlisted tho

so doesn't matter at the end of the day

[timber rock]

and this was for internship lol

[foggy perch]

f

this was for ft ng

I thought circle was broke

when I checked them on levels their tc was like 160k

[thick shell]

Got it

[timber rock]

yeh

[thick shell]

Yeah I did hear Meta is crazy on speed, could be also due to the fact they pull from tagged questions so I guess it's expected people seen them or something

[cobalt siren]

Got an update from Vmware, looks like they're on a hiring freeze for new grads

[gray niche]

hmm my netflix recruiter told me their headcount for new grads this year is 125, so im expecting more offer processes to come in

[gray niche]

same even though they already sent me a reject email lol

[thick shell]

and damn only 1 LC? I was under the impression most companies were straight up asking two. That's a little comforting to hear. Or is that mostly just an Amazon thing?

[cobalt siren]

I got one for propel, not launch tho wbu

[gray niche]

launch

[thick shell]

Got it , thanks for the headsup. I basically just gear my training for unseen Q's then

[cobalt siren]

Btw meant reject for propel, but no reject for launch - did you get reject for launch?

[delicate sigil]

is there any company that is recruiting new grads?

[cobalt siren]

no

[thick shell]

Got so in short it basically depends.

[timber rock]

lol

literally zero

[thick shell]

Bloomberg Phone is on Thursday actually lol hoping to clutch

[cobalt siren]

bb seems to be straight out of tagged

only 2nd vo did I get something not in it

[delicate sigil]

got to know that doordash is interviewing students for new grad roles

[thick shell]

bet

[timber rock]

and then theres that guy in here who got two sum in expedia final

[thick shell]

That's fucking blessed

Do you basically got to pretend you havent seen that before lmaoo. Cause that's essentially a freebie

[formal fable]

Done that a couple of times while interviewing the same round multiple times with the same company. Made me feel like I was in the wrong line of work 😅

[timber rock]

I have no idea

[delicate sigil]

Strengths Based-Assessment

does anyone know abt this assessment by expedia?

[timber rock]

I've done it

[delicate sigil]

what is it all abt?

any tips on how to clr that assessment

[timber rock]

It's a lot of "rank the responses" questions and some things like how liekly are you to do 1 thing vs another

[autumn ridge]

is their any chance attending this okta thing ill help get an OA

[delicate sigil]

oh....

[timber rock]

Just read about their values on their website or something

It's pretty easy

[delicate sigil]

yeah thanks bro

[timber rock]

Np

Some qs are weird af tho

Like on one side its "I hate speaking" and on the other its "speaking is a waste of time" and you gotta choose where on the scale you are

[autumn ridge]

yeah it was very weird. I never know what companies want with those

[small mountain]

i leave it in the middle when both options are negative

[timber rock]

same

[empty thorn]

anyone who has done the voleon final how long did it take them to get back?

[austere grove]

..Roblox asked me for an additional intevruew

[unreal rampart]

Anyone have any good resources for systems design interviews

[austere grove]

Did anyone here have to do an extra intevruew for Roblox

What could they possibly ask me lol?

[cobalt siren]

what do you mean by this

[ivory stratus]

How hard is the Amazon OA? The LC part

[uneven grove]

Today I got an email about moving on to on-site, and the earliest date available was 11/29

[fossil jewel]

yeah there's a lot of people

[zenith moss]

rng, I got a medium and a hard

[indigo raft]

has anyone done okta oa

[ivory stratus]

Is it auto part 2 or nah

[indigo raft]

why is it 2 hrs q_q

[zenith moss]

OA2 is auto

[delicate sigil]

is it better to apply bloomberg with an employee referral?

[split plaza]

Can you get a Google referral after you apply

[ivory stratus]

did you do tagged at all?

good luck!

[zenith moss]

for OA1 no, I just passed all test cases for the first questions and like 1/3 of the test cases for the second questions

But for OA2, I learned LP by heart and I think I got the final because of my OA2

[ivory stratus]

fair. im not too worried for OA2, just mostly OA1

did you get 2x60?

[zenith moss]

I working on lc tagged right now for the final

[zenith moss]

yeah

[ivory stratus]

daaaaang

was hoping they were doing 1x30 still lol

[zenith moss]

saw someone still have that for ng last month

[subtle vortex]

Did you get OA for Amazon ng?

[lusty field]

does someone have a link to the checkin form

I joined late

[zenith moss]

when did you do the time survey for the final?

[lilac siren]

I think it is rng

[zenith moss]

I did mine on Thursday and did not hear anything back

[indigo raft]

the link is in the q&a tab

[late kestrel]

actual reject after phone lmaooo

[ivory stratus]

did you get final?

[late kestrel]

[ivory stratus]

[lusty field]

glooks

[ivory stratus]

i believe in you

just really sell it on LP

bro we all believe in you

[teal jackal]

yike

[ivory stratus]

you got it fam

[zenith moss]

I got it two month after my OA2 lol

[nimble shore]

[zenith moss]

good luck bro, you can do it!

just do blind 75 and amz tagged

[nimble shore]

lol i dont know

afraid about ood

[marble bronze]

XDDDDDD

[nimble shore]

🙏

[zenith moss]

Do amz have Chicago for ng? I dont remember what I put in the application form

[ivory stratus]

you got this fam i believe in you

just keep up a positive attitude and if you make a mistake, just move on fromt it

[zenith moss]

see u guys at amz then

[ivory stratus]

and it's good practice too ya know?

there's no harm in not getting an offer. it's always a learning process and you always get something out of it

[winter loom]

hate to burst ur bubble but amazon nyc is 99% filled

filled

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah u get put wherever

[winter loom]

im placed in seattle rn

[nimble shore]

whatever just give me job

[jaunty basalt]

That’s just how it works

[winter loom]

nobody september onwards got nyc offers iirc

[nimble shore]

i can even work underground

[winter loom]

i think some ppl may have managed to switch to like texas

everyone in seattle

even return interns had to push for nyc and i dont think everybody go tit

got it

[jaunty basalt]

Like in order to change locations, U have to decline the offer and say it’s cuz of location and then maybe they’ll change your location

[zenith moss]

you can talk with hr after you got offer about location right?

[winter loom]

^

yea i tried bc i wanted nyc

[jaunty basalt]

I tried just for fun

[winter loom]

im prob going to bloom bc amazon wont give me nyc

[jaunty basalt]

Didn’t get it

[late kestrel]

lol fukkem

[cobalt siren]

any idea what bloomberg's offer is for someone with no negotiating power lol

[late kestrel]

aka me

[crystal delta]

i think it's 180 right

[late kestrel]

155k base ~17k target bonus 10k reloc

[winter loom]

i talked to someone who finessed 200k with 0 offers

[cobalt siren]

hmm ok so 165k tc essentially right

for 1st year

[late kestrel]

no.... 155k + 17k fy

if you dont wanna count reloc

[late kestrel]

was it that one dude who just told his recruiter he had 2sig final lol

[cobalt siren]

wait sorry i meant guaranteed

idk how target bonus works

[winter loom]

i think it was hahaha

[late kestrel]

target just means performance bonus im pretty sure. at bb you get 80% of it guaranteed

in the words of my recruiter "even if youre the shittiest coder we ever hire, you still get 80%"

[cobalt siren]

[teal jackal]

okta webinar is wasting my mf ass time

do we get OAs for showing up to this

nah it doesnt even matter lol

im working on game dev rn lmao

[jaunty basalt]

That gives off asana vibes

Attend info session for OA

[teal jackal]

this entire webinar is a blue ball

🔵

[jaunty basalt]

Make sure you fill out those forms they paste in chat or scan the fancy qr code

[clever orbit]

are leetcode tagged including q's for OA's?

e.g for amazon

[brittle marten]

dude the most useful webinar was verkada

unironically

the guy was like yea lets say nqueens for example

and they asked the exact same question for final

funniest shit ever

[jaunty basalt]

They know what they’re doing

[teal jackal]

okta wasting everyoens mf time

lulz

"a lot of you wont be reviewed"

Mask off, fuck it mask off

if i ever get an offer from okta im gonna renege them even with no other offer just to spite them

[uncut umbra]

got meta recruiter email

no information on when uni roles will be open

don't have current hc plan

will post on careers page if/when they determine they can accommodate new grad class

[teal jackal]

not even counting on meta tbh

[uncut umbra]

I'm not either but I have a ref + recruiter contact lined up so it would be nice to get in the process

[ivory stratus]

i only am cause i have a referral lol

[teal jackal]

same

i have one too but tbh ive realized that praying for meta to open is a lost cause

[ivory stratus]

my gfs cousin works there in marketing i think for their streaming platform

[teal jackal]

my dad knows a senior swe there

the swe is a cool guy, ive met him before

immigrated from thailand in like 2003

[ivory stratus]

that's dope

[jaunty basalt]

My wife’s boyfriend works there, pretty chill dude

[teal jackal]

facts bro

he even bought me a nintendo switch

did he buy you one too

[gray cloud]

anyone knoow anything about Nightfall AI?

[cinder ingot]

Optiver cancelled interview two days before it was scheduled. They have filled the position

[timber rock]

Mfs asked me sql shit now I'm glad I chose this boring databases class 3 weeks ago

[teal jackal]

W

i still have not found a use for my boring ass AI class

that i learned nothing from

[timber rock]

Same with ML

I also failed that

Don't think I'll ever touch ml again

I'm in uk

It's hackerrank here

[kind orbit]

ah gotcha

[timber rock]

Their hiring process has been a mess

They rejected me and then told me it was an accident, then sent me a hackerrank that said spring 2022 with sql questions for a job posting that didn't ask for sql

[kind orbit]

hm thats weird

[timber rock]

They're not doing a good job of making me want to work there

[teal jackal]

can be said abt most companies lmao

other than pay most companies are ass

[ivory stratus]

is amazon OA hackerrank? i forgot

[teal jackal]

yes

2 questions

[ivory stratus]

fuck me

[teal jackal]

goal is to get all test cases

[ivory stratus]

hate hackerrank

[teal jackal]

all test cases = youre in the clear

[ivory stratus]

i heard you can miss some test cases though and do well on oa 2 yeah?

god i just want good rng lol

[cobalt siren]

am I an imbecile for not passing oa 2 for amazon lmao

[teal jackal]

shoulda read up on LPs bro

[ivory stratus]

i heard oa 2 was hard

[teal jackal]

wait whats OA2

[cobalt siren]

idk if i studied for lp's too much lol

[lilac siren]

🤣

[ivory stratus]

LP

[teal jackal]

is it not the same anymore

[timber rock]

Is that the 3 hour long job simulation shit

[ivory stratus]

yeeee

first oa is LC

[teal jackal]

yeah we had that shit last summer

wack af

does amazon hire in uk

[timber rock]

Yeah

[teal jackal]

wow

process is the same

[timber rock]

I went thru it for internship last year

[teal jackal]

but then again, meta's prod engineer role in the uk is the same

i looked it up as a guide when i had my interviews

[timber rock]

Actually I was applying in ireland

But prob the same in uk too

[teal jackal]

oh yeah british ppls can work in ireland too

[timber rock]

Yeah

[teal jackal]

same with the rest of the EU

ireland is a pretty cool place, it looks like one at least

ive never been to europe since i left in 2002 tho

[timber rock]

Ireand is great but housing is insane in dublin

[teal jackal]

i heard that their economy is inflated by the tax haven stuff

prob a separate issue

but thats all i know abt ireland

[timber rock]

Yeh that's how they got so rich after the brits killed them all and took their shit

Attracting companies by lowering taxes

[teal jackal]

im working on a dedicated game dev resume rn

core change: i cut down the SWE experience bullet points and focused on project development and agile in those bullet points

and put down 4 projects

[stray lark]

How hard is optiver os?

Oa*

[hasty birch]

What role and position/location?

[ivory stratus]

anyone on here pass amazon oa and wanna give tips on studying? only got 5 days but done 50% of blind 75

[small mountain]

do 100% of blind 75

[untold lava]

Oh god my interview is on Wednesday wtf

[rustic vessel]

Rejected me after hr for austin, said was filled

[hasty birch]

Did you apply for Chicago or Austin? Ik Chicago is filled, not sure about Austin

[hasty birch]

Damn, so both locations are filled

[rustic vessel]

Unless they lying and I’m just bad

[hasty birch]

Saves me from having to do the 3 day long OA ig lmao

[wraith girder]

How much do new grads usually make (like whats the range?)?

[hasty birch]

0-1M

[wraith girder]

I'm guessing 150k - 250k for a standard range

[lament summit]

50k - 750k

[elder hound]

BeReal new grad when

[wraith girder]

o.O. It can get that high?!

[lament summit]

radix trading

[wind drum]

i feel like it's fundamentally flawed from a system design aspect

[wraith girder]

I see

[lament summit]

this is the top 5%

standard is 80-100k

[wraith girder]

Alright. Trying to be realistic I guess

[untold lava]

They said chicago was filled already when I did recruiter screen so I’m doing Austin (swe)

[wind drum]

honestly it might be more of a network load issue and they can only have so much throughput

[distant rampart]

anyone knows if seatgeek sponsors or not

[wind drum]

but that is part of scalability

[hasty birch]

Hmm and now it looks like Austin is filled too. @rustic vessel did you apply for swe or quant?

[wheat seal]

ur interviewing even with bbg?

[rustic vessel]

Swe

[split plaza]

https://www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/comments/y0u9e0/okta_webinar/

[untold lava]

Dude fuck I’m so mad

[small mountain]

[hasty birch]

LMAO someone should've clipped it

[grizzled bronze]

Unless someone got a recording, I'm treating this as a troll. People love trolling on that subreddit.

[wraith girder]

Nah it isnt

Lots of people heard it

I heard Okta recruiters say it too

[lament summit]

heard it as well

[grizzled bronze]

Oh ok I trust it then

Did y'all hear anything else?

[wraith girder]

They gave false hope during the webinar at first

They were like we gonna review all the applications so everyone has an equal chance

Referrals dont matter is what they said

And they talked about Okta as a whole

Kind of a standard webinar and tbh, I dont even think anyone would get priority by going to it

They'll probably run their ATS algo or some BS on it and then trash 99% of the applications

[distant rampart]

thank god i didnt bother to watch the webinar

[coral finch]

bruh ng process is so sad

[floral plank]

That is pretty much every webinar ever

[marble bronze]

I mean let's be honest even if it was fake, we all know it's true

[lilac siren]

🥹 so i applied for many non-ng roles

at least they can reject me on the second day

[marble bronze]

Honestly I haven't been applying to non-ng roles, I assume most companies have an earlier start than ng

[craggy radish]

It's funny seeing these recruiters who majored in some unrelated arts field pretend to know about tech

[wraith girder]

Yeah exactly

[wraith girder]

Yeah exactly. The ending was kinda just uncalled for

[dusky plover]

any luck?

i have abs none with those kinda roles

[buoyant fable]

its been 12 days since C1 power day and havent heard back, is this normal or bad?

[lilac siren]

got an interview with tesla

[dusky plover]

tbh they mightve just added u to the entry level pipeline

[lilac siren]

but they have not decided move me to next step or not

[wheat seal]

tesla is kinda iffy though. They did layoffs recently

[autumn ridge]

Yeah I'm trying to get at least one other offer so I can nego BB

It makes a huge diff from what I can tell in your comp if you have competing offer. Also I'm not super sold on living in NYC so I would take some other spots over it if comp was the same or better with Seatle location

[wheat seal]

but bbg stability is top notch, u would be chilling

[autumn ridge]

Eh I'm kind of a unique situation I have a fiance and a dog and she works remote so need at least 2 bedroom so like we would be fine but wouldn't be able to afford somewhere super nice or very close to work in NYC

[wheat seal]

what other companies pay as much, and offer that much stability as well

[wheat seal]

brooklyn or astoria has cheap apartments for 2br

[autumn ridge]

We've been looking in brooklyn but haven't found much so far. Where do you look for units we have been using zillow

I will check out astoria

[wheat seal]

apartments.com

is the best for me

astoria is closer to manhattan

[autumn ridge]

I would take Palantir and Pinterest over BB. I think BB wins for stability though it's not particularly close they are basically immune to layoffs

[wheat seal]

yea bb is immune.

its like irrelevant

I dont see pinterest needing to do a layoff. Like no ad based revenue companies did layoffs besides snap

[limber grove]

sorry I am new, what does BB stand for?

blackberry lol...

[wheat seal]

but thats because snap, doesnt have a clear business model tbh

[autumn ridge]

I haven't heard back from Pinterest yet since phone so pretty sure I failed

Yeah as ex Snap intern it's a mess lol

[wheat seal]

how long has it been

[autumn ridge]

Also with BB the bonues isn't as cool as it sounds

[wheat seal]

bloomberg

[autumn ridge]

At least IMO

[wheat seal]

so im guessing u and ur fiance put together are at like 200-220k?

[autumn ridge]

Like if I start July 2023 and my bonus is 20k. That means I get 10k in Feb 2024 and 20k in Feb 2025

If I'm still at BB. I don't get it if I leave

[wheat seal]

is palantir that safe though rn?

[autumn ridge]

She makes 65k so it will be around there

[wheat seal]

yea then thats more than enough to live in brooklyn or astoria

u guys wouldnt have an issue

astoria i would recommend tho, since ud be closer to office

like a 35-40min commute on bus

[autumn ridge]

I didn't check astoria but brooklyn is still a 25 min + commute to manhattan

[wheat seal]

oh brooklyn is an hr by bus lol

[autumn ridge]

See that sucks lol. I don't want a 40 min commute

Can you take subway?

[wheat seal]

are u planning to have a car?

[autumn ridge]

We both have cars now but everyone says to not get one so probably not if we end up in NYC

[wheat seal]

i mean it goes over a bridge

[lament summit]

is bb 100% in person?

[autumn ridge]

yeah but I heard you don't actually have to be in the office every day depending on your team

[wheat seal]

actually wait they cvan do underwater. (I think its still 40min tho)

[fossil jewel]

yeah you can take the subway

[wheat seal]

actually i think im wrong

it should be faster no?

https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Astoria/Midtown-Manhattan#r/Subway/s/0

google maps is wrong then

if this is right

[fossil jewel]

i mean if you are in astoria you are by the N train

which will drop you really close to where bbg is

[wheat seal]

how long does it take?

google maps say 40min

but then here says 10min

40min seems way too long

[fossil jewel]

from astoria

no way 40

[wheat seal]

yea google maps needs improvement then lol

[fossil jewel]

i mean honestly i been used to long ass commutes that 40mins sounds pretty good lmao

[wheat seal]

maybe they mean 40min total cuz of wait time

never took subway / train before in ny

so not too sure

[lament summit]

is bb 100% in person?

can u like work a couple days from home

[thorn walrus]

3 days in person

but dependent on team

[wheat seal]

most companies dont even care tho tbh lol

at least in tech, like they just do whatever

[fossil jewel]

eh depending on how shit of a day it is, trains will be delayed

otherwise if its a normal day then some trains are there every 3-5 mins

[wheat seal]

its a private company that isnt affected by market downtrends and basically runs the financial economy

[brittle marten]

hmmm guys

nuro vs scale?

im still waiting for nuro return but the chances seem pretty high

[lament summit]

damn thats a hard one

i dont think u can go wrong with either

but nuro feels more exclusive

[wheat seal]

nuro is way more interesting than scale ai

[lament summit]

that too

[wheat seal]

i think scale ai will have a better ipo though

[lament summit]

thats all speculation

id just pick whichever product u like more

either one u cant go wrong

[cinder ingot]

They said chicago was filled already

[compact vortex]

Google not doing new grad confirmed??? I really hope not lol

[strange ore]

is Raytheon supposed to be desired? their levels page kinda lacking

[strange ore]

holy shit

[compact vortex]

i got a couple responses from recruiters

this is the first one that said it directly to me that google probably isnt doing new grad

im genuinely worried lol

this cycle is fucked

[foggy perch]

^

[compact vortex]

ive heard from a google intern that they are still PA matching the people with return offers

jeez

i wonder whats going on in there

yeah ik

i feel like google was doing fine before tho

which is what concerns me

lol

idk

lol

[bronze nymph]

it doesn't have to be reactive

they can also be doing it proactively

[strange ore]

it's doomed

[bronze nymph]

no one really knows

[compact vortex]

only those at google know how fucked they are right now lol

[bronze nymph]

yea^, they are just proactively taking things slow

[compact vortex]

i feel like they are taking precation more than anything

they can take more people

they are just tryna play safe

i hope they do new grad tho

it would be a bummer if they dont lol

palantir

😦

they are also getting fucked lol

yeah

[bronze nymph]

stock price doesn't define everything

[compact vortex]

palantir resume rejected me lol lol

[bronze nymph]

if the market goes down, everything will

pretty much at least

[peak ferry]

damn they’re really taking advantage of current conditions to pick only the top talent? sheesh

[compact vortex]

whats shittier is i got an interview last year

😦

[earnest summit]

i just did my palantir karat and i got 2/3

:(

[peak ferry]

damn I declined my interview cuz they were late, but regret cuz now I’m curious

Idk Palantirs exact pay I’m guessing it’s similar

[compact vortex]

my friend got palantir offer this season he said that it wasnt too bad a process

[peak ferry]

I wouldn’t renege current job I’m just curious how hard the interview is kek

Yea so abt the same

Start in a week

tf? That’s wild

[compact vortex]

my friend got a design question for the HM round i think

[peak ferry]

that’s basically what I said

I hate freedom

[winter loom]

Why exactly is pltr so unethical

Have they don't anything in the past

[peak ferry]

private military contractors?

[runic wind]

They also have an sf office apparently?

[coral finch]

You do know Palantir sells it right?? After once and yk sure? But you keep selling even knowing?

Like Apple could easily sell data to FBI

Huh

Nvm

[runic wind]

https://blog.palantir.com/palantir-is-not-a-data-company-palantir-explained-1-a6fcf8b3e4cb?gi=5591bc9939ea

[coral finch]

Wait why we keking?

[jaunty basalt]

[teal jackal]

damn

this twitter post is popping off

linkedin be like

[livid yew]

all I get is sponsored listings

[loud sphinx]

anyone know citadels interview ft process?

[livid yew]

but also I dont randomly scroll Linkedin

[brittle marten]

you are excited to work on technology that you see its direct application on empowering humanity

[late kestrel]

"i lost my job"
POG POG POG

[livid yew]

I forgot you zoomers grew up on social media

[small mountain]

how old are you

[livid yew]

24

sorta in the in-between phase

[small mountain]

damn dinosaur

[livid yew]

but I was always like 2-3 years behind on trends lol

I did not get instagram until 2018, tik tok late 2021

[small mountain]

i still dont have tiktok hehe

[livid yew]

I just don't see the appeal of social media

[small mountain]

i like discord a lot

[livid yew]

not social media

[small mountain]

is this not social media?

[livid yew]

at least in my mind

its a communication tool, like Skype or SMS

[small mountain]

i suppose yeah

[livid yew]

social media is people posting about their daily life, and needing instant gratification from strangers

[small mountain]

so did you take time off before starting college?

[livid yew]

nope

[small mountain]

so us...

[livid yew]

I wish I did tbh

[floral plank]

Same

[livid yew]

nah Im just in this chat lmao

[small mountain]

a simple philosophy: if a tiktok is good, it will make its way onto other platforms, otherwise its trash so why bother having the app?

[teal jackal]

99.9% of the comments are "Commenting for better reach"

[small mountain]

your resume is STACKED dude wtf meta and palantir teach me your ways @jagged ravine

[teal jackal]

yeah it can reach thousands of people but i wonder how many people will actually help

[livid yew]

the last time I left a YT, Twitter, Instagram comment was uhhh like 3 years ago

like bro, I might as well start posting pictures of my floor to tiktok lmao

its just so useless in the grand human scheme

[small mountain]

whats your LC count?

[teal jackal]

my cousin is interviewing at mihoyo china in a few hours

[runic wind]

He meant crazy, soy is a savant

[livid yew]

soy is cracked

[small mountain]

wtf

[livid yew]

just a natural born cracked

[small mountain]

actual crackhead

[runic wind]

Ask his TC count now

[lament summit]

soybean too cracked

[strange ore]

wtf is bloom institute of technology and why did I get a cold OA on codesginal

[livid yew]

almost said a different crack word

[lament summit]

cuz u clicked the link

[small mountain]

i've never ever heard of someone getting multiple faang + palantir with 100 lc

hell, im at 158 and im shit

[livid yew]

I barely did algos in college, I sorta zoned out in those classes

[small mountain]

what college

[runic wind]

Jeff dean

[small mountain]

no shot

[livid yew]

@jagged ravine you currently at FB or Palantir?

oh

you dont fuck up and not graduate

[lament summit]

teach me ur ways @jagged ravine

[small mountain]

how directionless is meta right now

[lament summit]

we dying out here

[small mountain]

exactly so why bother have so many?

[livid yew]

INB4 @jagged ravine is 1 credit short of graduating

damn

you planned well

lol

I did 19 credits my last 2 semesters

[small mountain]

what was asked? knapsack? heuristic algos?

[livid yew]

but how many credits of AP did you transfer>

at least at my uni it was 127 credits to graduate

that makes sense

[small mountain]

does anyone ever ask cpp/kernel trivia? never heard of such a thing

yeah ik trading firms use it but have you applied there

[verbal wagon]

Any reason to choose a growth stage startup vs a mid size company as international student?

[small mountain]

GL dude

[livid yew]

lmao Okta

H1B

I am glad I am not a international person lmao

y'all can have your complex process lol

don't a lot of places require a diploma/verification of degree?

[small mountain]

is it not a good idea to get a few years in your native country to get out of the intern/new grad rat race then try join US companies at a higher level

[verbal wagon]

I see

Yeah both companies do sponsor h1b

[lament summit]

if the growth stage startup is top tier and ur mid size company is meh

[small mountain]

oh

where is that

[livid yew]

I am curious how many of your are non US-Citizens?

[lament summit]

like if ur picking scale ai/databricks/stripe vs some random F500 company

thats a no brainer

[small mountain]

whats 996

[livid yew]

that is not what I mean

[lament summit]

9am - 9pm

[small mountain]

oof

india?

[verbal wagon]

Nope that’s not the case

[livid yew]

I mean like Asia/EU people

[verbal wagon]

Yeah I’ll go with safer option

[small mountain]

i give up

[verbal wagon]

Thanks for input

[livid yew]

imagine not being born in the US

lame

[small mountain]

i feel sorry you are american tbh

[livid yew]

lmao true

my culture is so low

[verbal wagon]

Definitely

[livid yew]

my passport is still empty

[foggy perch]

my instant guess was china or japan

[small mountain]

was about to get all political

[foggy perch]

pog

[small mountain]

china

[livid yew]

oh lmao I dont give a fuck about the politics of the US

[foggy perch]

probs china

[dusky plover]

would u guys go to a startup

if u believed in the product

but prolly bad wlb

[foggy perch]

for enough money

otherwise no

[verbal wagon]

Yup will do that

[foggy perch]

I'd only do so if the real money the startup gives me beats out other options

not counting fake paper money

[livid yew]

I dont care for money

so stupid

[foggy perch]

rip

I only care about money tbh

[small mountain]

sadge

[small mountain]

same

[dusky plover]

what if say you really enjoy the type of work that they'll have u do in the role

:p

[livid yew]

money was never, and will probably never be my motivator in software engineering

🤷

[small mountain]

wlb maters too

[foggy perch]

sounds like you're coping and trying to convince yourself 🧐

[dusky plover]

what a chad

[dusky plover]

lowkey yea

im in a pipeline or two for startups @foggy perch

[small mountain]

legit this

[foggy perch]

i'd only ever work at a unicorn startup

[livid yew]

I love programming to a scary degree

[foggy perch]

nah on my deathbed I definitely won't be thinking about programming

[small mountain]

im too dumb for that

[livid yew]

like technology was my passion from like toddler age 🤓

[dusky plover]

i see dev as just a means to make money tbh

[livid yew]

maybe I should start thinking that way to idk

[small mountain]

you think so?

[dusky plover]

yea someone make an app where u date a 2d gf

no

[livid yew]

I use Play Store

[dusky plover]

i dont install entertainment apps on my phone

i just use it for communication

[livid yew]

nothing wrong with that

[foggy perch]

same

[small mountain]

andr*id 🤮

[dusky plover]

android

[livid yew]

its just a fucking phone

[foggy perch]

my core belief is that the moment I can stop working, I will

[dusky plover]

eh id prolly wanna stay a dev till i hit my 40s

[lament summit]

u use android b/c u have a gf?

[foggy perch]

nah if I got 20 million dollars

I'd retire right now

[small mountain]

screw corporate overloards

[dusky plover]

so like ~20 years of being a dev

[livid yew]

this is where You and I differ, and thats ok

bro its just a device

take your Apple circle jerk, cock sucking somewhere else

[foggy perch]

sorry I need to execute everyone with a worse phone than me

[lament summit]

yeah... my gf told me a red flag of hers is the green bubble

[livid yew]

its not real

is it?

[lament summit]

its most def real

[small mountain]

this is insane

[peak ferry]

I’ve heard it’s a legit thing ngl

[livid yew]

the bubble color, they actually care

[old smelt]

just message on ig lol

[lament summit]

instant turn off
