[umbral plover]

[white escarp]

😮 goated

Heard they have toronto office

Will u move to the state?

[umbral plover]

ya moving to the states

[white escarp]

Congrats dude

[sweet urchin]

Nice, what did uber and akuna offer you?

[umbral plover]

akuna: 140 base, 90 signon, 70 perf, 10 reloc
uber: 128 base, 15 signon, 13.5 perf, 12 reloc, 90k rsu (4yr vesting)

[prime palm]

Curious if you had other offers

I think I saw you interviewing with cit, two sigma?

[prime palm]

Los gatos?

[umbral plover]

i posted in the process channel

[prime palm]

ic

[umbral plover]

ya most likely (95% of teams are based there)

other 5% are in LA

[prime palm]

How come withdraw from

G on-site

Do you want to be in California ideally or do you want like

Nyc Seattle or something

[umbral plover]

nah location isnt that big of a deal to me, preferably nyc then california

withdrew from G cuz i wouldnt take that over netflix

[white escarp]

I wonder if gg can match netflix

👀

[umbral plover]

even if they do i would prefer the career/tc growth at neflix

[white escarp]

Hmmm dont u worry about the pip culture in netflix?

Heard its even more brutal than banana

[umbral plover]

hmm not really

if it happens, im sure i can find a new job

im young no responsibilities

[white escarp]

[prime palm]

Is TC more important?

Jw

Like Google NYC vs Netflix Cali

[umbral plover]

nah new grad tc isnt that big of a deal if its like > 200k

looking more for career growth and tc progression

[prime palm]

I'm sure G and Netflix are both well over 200

But yeah

I think Netflix would have great growth

Google is very team dependent

Even out of the companies that you withdrew from / ghosted you did you have a top company in mind

Or was it Netflix

Would you have taken like a hft like cit or hrt

[umbral plover]

if i got jane street then ya LOL

[delicate frigate]

How do you even go about preparing for these places?

Any tips ?

[prime palm]

Just curious but how many LC do u have solved @umbral plover

And did you prep a lot for systems design?

[umbral plover]

no special prep for sys design other than reading the primer thats posted on github

428 lc

[prime palm]

Fuckkkkk man I wanna be you

I just want to be done with this recruiting nightmare

Congrats again imma do some leetcode now that you've inspired me

[wheat seal]

[delicate frigate]

It must be nice. I am tryna be like you ma boi

[umbral plover]

i didnt ask so not too sure

[wheat seal]

200k cash?

[umbral plover]

its the same as the ones that got posted around here

205 base, 10 signon, 42 reloc

not lumpsum

gotta reimburse

[wary pollen]

Are any of you guys still “in review” for Microsoft?

[wheat seal]

yea a doctor's comp lol

its like $102/hr right basically

[ivory stratus]

Lol nope. All new grad apps got canceled. I’d reach out to a recruiter if I were you

[thick shell]

Anyone got tips on the most optimal way to get to an 800+ CodeSignal in two weeks or less? Is it basically just to keep taking the practice tests every day?

[last summit]

if you just want 800+ and dont care for 84X then do 1 2 4 in that order and submit without looking at 3

you stand a good chance at completing 4 if you do blind75 first and have a reasonable idea of how to use the various paradigms

[calm blade]

yo fr fr Microsoft not hiring New Grad this recruiting season?

[ivory stratus]

they were, they canceled all the new grad apps cause their hc got filled by return offers

[last summit]

@thick shell from my experience codesignal tends to ask more matrix/array/string/hashmap type questions as opposed to trees/graphs, so that might help with narrowing down study topics

[wary pollen]

Where can I find a recruiter lol

[ivory stratus]

idk lol. did you get an OA at all or nah?

[calm blade]

Ah I see so no chance for non interns

[ivory stratus]

yup lol

i got all the way to final and they canceled

[calm blade]

Thats gotta sting I feel yah bro not fun when in your in deep

[thick shell]

Really appreciate it 🤞

[wary pollen]

Nothing 😂

[trail leaf]

Y’all think Microsoft and other big companies attending the SHPE National Convention will have some new-grad roles saved just for attendees?

Kinda bummed to hear they’re basically done hiring new grads when I had referrals and shit ready

[grizzled bronze]

Referrals wouldn't have helped at all, Microsoft's resume screening is random and hard to pass

[grizzled bronze]

Unfortunately I don't think they will have new grad roles for that conference, because they even removed the diversity full-time listing (for SWE)

[delicate sigil]

does anyone know if mathworks is hiring or not?

for SDE roles

[lilac siren]

idk

i got a resume rej

after their oa and recording video round

[delicate sigil]

ohhhhhh

thanks for the reply bro

[quartz summit]

pls go to Nuro

[brittle marten]

i signed scale 😦

sorry daddy

[cobalt siren]

the goat @umbral plover

Why my bloomberg recruiter respond at 12 am lol

[elder hound]

If I know a second degree connection (he’s an SWE there) at a not-giant (3k total HC) company will it help to reach out to them? I applied like a month ago but they haven’t even reviewed my app since they send to reject and I haven’t gotten rejected yet

Like if I ask him to ask a recruiter to review my app is that something a FTE can do

[knotty talon]

did ya get it?

👁️

[crimson flame]

is Netflix technical screen lc hard?

[faint flame]

get rejected after Bloomberg coffee chat, really don’t know why.....

Coffee chat just simple bq, none technical questions, why?

😭😭

[livid yew]

Lmao

That sucks

[faint flame]

interviewers also said impressive after our conversation

[narrow violet]

@faint flame i ask myself the same question lol. I got rejected after first technical and I did fine on solving both problems

[dense cloud]

is this the final round?

[faint flame]

No first round I suppose

[knotty talon]

someone in process chat got rejected even tho he got the answer right for technical

[dense cloud]

bb seems very rng

[faint flame]

Does anyone interview with visa?

Just know recruiter viewed my resume

But no further

[late kestrel]

theyre scheduling phone interviews rn but no ones gotten one yet

[lament summit]

Quant

None

Maybe stripe with nego

[latent sun]

hey guys

how does the email for amazon waitlist look like

i got this…

[warped needle]

Bro i just got that email too

[latent sun]

you know if it’s waitlist ?

you did final too i’m guessing?

[warped needle]

Yeah I did the final last week

[grizzled bronze]

Yeah that's waitlist

[plush crane]

Yeah that’s the waitlist email

[latent sun]

so

[formal fable]

Welcome to the Club!

[latent sun]

better than nothing at least

[sage sluice]

so amazons not giving offers to people that pass finals rn?

[teal jackal]

amazon is crazy man

the waitlist insane

https://i.redd.it/ac3lh5nxd3t91.jpg

[latent sun]

yuh

gonna give amazon till Nov 30th

[ebon quiver]

im in the same position guys

friggin passed the interview but still couldnt get anything

[teal jackal]

why is finding a job so damn hard

starting job search in september used to be considered early

now even starting in september feels hella late

[ebon quiver]

wonder how many people are even on the waitlist

[latent sun]

everyone and their mom

lowk

[ebon quiver]

fax

https://tenor.com/view/cry-sad-gif-25488313

[waxen bolt]

Know the difference species of deer

[latent sun]

nah brother

they continue it

in all honesty no idea tho

good luck tho

[wind drum]

the questions are as easy as they look don't overcomplicate them

i didn't get tagged but ik others did

[trail leaf]

damnn

I'm outta the loop rn, what large companies have stopped hiring swe new grads ?
^besides Microsoft

[distant rampart]

Pretty much everywhere

[thorn walrus]

my follow-up was pretty difficult

[deft crow]

Pretty sure Amazon has also stopped

Then Facebook never posted apps

[night magnet]

G posted for like 2 days

[sudden sequoia]

ye faang is basically fked

has anyone heard back from netflix?

[night magnet]

No one ever knows what’s going on with Apple

[deft crow]

Apparently there’s been a few apple postings on the process channel

[teal jackal]

Honestly fuck this economy

Faang companies used to hire in massive batches, felt like a never ending stream of money

Why did it have to be us who missed out on it

[deft crow]

Weird year when ppl hear back from Netflix but not Google or Facebook

[trail leaf]

I got an OA

[teal jackal]

How long does it take for netflix oa

[deft crow]

Yeah graduating last semester would have been a massively different experience

[cedar gulch]

got a Netflix phone

[teal jackal]

If I don't get back within 2 weeks I should consider myself resume rj probably

[trail leaf]

couple days

[cedar gulch]

It took a while for me to get the OA

[deft crow]

Probably, tbh just always assume you get resume reject

[cedar gulch]

almost a month I think

[lethal turret]

any international students get netflix oa ?

[trail leaf]

damn i didnt know fang stopped like that

[bleak anchor]

Does Bloomberg schedule phone call after final round?

[deft crow]

Only like two of my friends have offers for after graduation

Which is p crazy

[trail leaf]

i was lowkey waiting for the SHPE convention to talk to these fang companies

[lethal turret]

if it's a phone call it's an offer

[trail leaf]

maybe i should apply now...

[deft crow]

Yeah, just apply

Never know when a company will close

[cedar gulch]

yeah apply now and then maybe they can move your app through at the convention

[deft crow]

^

[trail leaf]

🫡

[teal jackal]

You're already late if you haven't applied yet

Second best time to apply is today

[trail leaf]

deep

[bleak anchor]

Lit thanks

[foggy perch]

huh so I wonder if pinterest is done with hiring or just trying to finish interviewing its current batch based off messages from yesterday

[lethal turret]

when's your final

[bleak anchor]

Did it yesterday

[thorn walrus]

yes

[bleak anchor]

But I have a deadline for Friday

So they prob expedited

[lethal turret]

gotcha

[rustic vessel]

Wheres my offer

[foggy perch]

also just got my final scheduling email so doubt your pinterest'll get cancelled

same

[trail leaf]

yall think its possible to negotiate a higher role for new-grad positions?
im gettin an offer back from my internship but it woulnt be junior lvl

wondering if i could leverage that

[foggy perch]

probably but depends on the company

if the company is one that doesn't negotiate or doesn't have the money to you're out of luck

[teal jackal]

Just try

That's the rule

If you think you have any leverage, just use it

[trail leaf]

smart

[distant rampart]

i regret start applying in september

[foggy perch]

rip

[distant rampart]

literally 0 chance for any big companies now

[modest night]

anyone get jpmc offer?

[teal jackal]

Same

[modest night]

and know the comp

[trail leaf]

bro i had recruiters asking me to aplply in the summer, I didnt feel prepared so i waited
huge mistake lmao

[rustic vessel]

I told my friends to apply early and they didn’t

[distant rampart]

so many amazon recruiters messaged me in june and i was like oh i will apply in september thank u for dm-ing me

[dense cloud]

i had a 1 year lc hiatus and didnt feel ready

[faint flame]

No. Bloomberg is still hiring

[foggy perch]

i just applied early since I grad dec 2022 so it works out

[dense cloud]

fuck should have applied in august

[faint flame]

Do you have offer?

[foggy perch]

ye

[faint flame]

What?

[foggy perch]

bb like the rest of the folk

[trail leaf]

bb?
oh nvm

[foggy perch]

bloomberg

[dense cloud]

manifesting bb 🙏

[distant rampart]

everyone is interviewing for bb

let bloomberg save us all

[thorn walrus]

@foggy perch when is ur pin final scheduled for

[foggy perch]

haven't scheduled it yet

but gave availabiliites for next week

since probs better to get it over with sooner

[thorn walrus]

do it asap

[foggy perch]

ye

[faint flame]

Bloomberg is the only one that hiring regularly

[foggy perch]

but also is it just me m

or does pinterest literally just want lc monkeys who get the optimal solution

since I explained my phone technical like garbage

but still got it since I knew the optimal solution from having seen the problem before

lmao

[thorn walrus]

i was literally built for this

[trail leaf]

anyone got thoughts on starting at Tesla?

[thorn walrus]

can i dm @foggy perch

[foggy perch]

dm what

[thorn walrus]

ask about phone just curious

[foggy perch]

oh ok

[dense seal]

the biggest bag i fumbled was when a SIG recruiter contacted me in july to take their quant OA and i ghosted her cuz i didnt feel ready

[trail leaf]

anyone know some lowkey companies that arent fang but are just as good?
I just learned about LinkedIn and they seem really good (no posting for new-grad tho 🥹 )

[faint flame]

Everyone knows LinkedIn is good

But it is hard

[dense cloud]

linkedin isnt lowkey though

[trail leaf]

ahhh

[teal jackal]

the diff is that FAANG hires more people and more people get chances to interview

either way im not getting an offer anywhere

true, that was the past

[trail leaf]

ive only ever heard abt fang and quant

[teal jackal]

good days are over

[trail leaf]

like uber right?

just feels like tech is going downhill for the very near future lmao

[peak ferry]

lol LinkedIn isn’t very low key, companies the size of em generally aren’t hiring rn or very limited

[trail leaf]

im just tryna center divs and make 500k tc

[trail leaf]

bad example lol my b

1mill tc

[peak ferry]

in the bay there are some(?) midsized cos that were hiring a few months ago (Purestorage, arista networks) pay is less than faang but still solid

[teal jackal]

dotcom bubble 2.0

[foggy perch]

if they're lowkey and aren

t faang

you better expect the hardest resume screen

and interview

[teal jackal]

^

resume screening bar is INSANE thisi year

[wind drum]

if you look through the levels highest paying internships it's a pretty good set of companies similar to faang level as you go down

[teal jackal]

implying its easy to get into

[fluid bloom]

Is there a StubHub discord?

[trail leaf]

hmm true

the only thing im going for in ng is joining a company with the most clout to open the most amount of doors for the next job

one of my mentors told me abt making sure i get a good launchpad after college and it made sense to me

[wind drum]

sounds like big tech to me

[peak ferry]

sounds currently unlikely to me

[dense cloud]

sadly those companies are all not hiring rn

[wind drum]

yeah it's a bad look when netflix looks like the most accessible faang atm

[trail leaf]

see u all at google...

[night magnet]

I mean

[dense cloud]

bring me back to 2021 😭

[trail leaf]

man i wish

[night magnet]

Apple could be hiring

We just have no idea

[peak ferry]

Apple is weird idfk what they do

[dense cloud]

i never knew what is up with apple

[night magnet]

I still don’t get why their recruiting is team specific

Like apparently each team recruits for themselves

[wind drum]

tbh i like team specific recruiting

[night magnet]

Seems super disjointed tho

[wind drum]

i want to talk to the team im joining

[night magnet]

Ya fair but it makes it so hard to get an interviewer/past the door

[peak ferry]

Tbh I can understand team specific it’s just not very well organized or explained

[wind drum]

i think that's just more of a product of apple being so secretive

[trail leaf]

would yall accept an internship at big tech companies instead of a full-time role at a smaller company for the pipeline?

[peak ferry]

no they’re barely/not getting returns anyway

[wind drum]

really depends on company but generally no

[trail leaf]

most of the ppl i met at meta this summer got screwed

[brittle sigil]

what location

[ebon quiver]

breh im not even getting interviews anywhere..

[trail leaf]

how would tesla scale in terms of clout?
def lower than fang but

[wheat seal]

U just started applying tho

[ebon quiver]

negative

my first app this year was august 3rd

[teal jackal]

more often than not, they only recruit for one person

[wind drum]

good clout but yeah everything else is rough

[teal jackal]

like its so hard to compete with hundreds for one role

[foggy perch]

Depends

Google yes

Amazon no

Oh tesla

[teal jackal]

depends on what smaller company means

[foggy perch]

^

[teal jackal]

if small company = local/legacy/midsized non-tech company, id say no

but thats implying that the big tech internship is guaranteed

[rustic vessel]

Pretty sure my bb phone today will be a no show

[teal jackal]

good luck bro

[rustic vessel]

It’s right now lmao

[trail leaf]

gl

[rustic vessel]

I’m 90% sure they aint showing up

[wheat seal]

Mail recruiter after 5min in

[rustic vessel]

Idgaf enough about this company lol

[trail leaf]

i think bb instant rejected me lmao

rip ur friend

[rustic vessel]

Thats fucked for me then since my name hella common

[trail leaf]

one guy ik got an offer because they sent him one thinking it was someone else

from caci i think

[bold pier]

Hachi how long after VO did bb contact you?

[trail leaf]

wym?

[bold pier]

I'll die of suspense

[teal jackal]

society always says "you have to make mistakes to learn" but society also be like "if you make mistakes we will make your life harder and there will often not be a second chance"

[dense cloud]

at this rate in december ill still be jobless 🤡

i wish had an offer to expedite things with at least

[teal jackal]

so true

but ive tried to be a bloomer about it

if im jobless and i was cut out of the tech industry

thats okay

ill move on

shift the goalpost

and apply to game dev

i have a really cool project in the works

a multiplayer competitive game

[vast rock]

Bruh who told me pinterest hr call is prep call she aggressively bombarded with me behavioral questions also told me no HC issue and barely anyone has gotten to VO yet so i shouldnt worry

[dense cloud]

we need a new amogus

[trail leaf]

^

honestly make a games company and hire me

[unique wolf]

anyone with a gm offer get them to answer your email about the offer, they put the wrong start date down for me and won't answer my email to get it changed

[teal jackal]

ive realized that 2d games are more versatile for casual play like amogus

like they reach a broader audience

a lot of non gamers too

[rustic vessel]

Wtf when was this

[pale kettle]

what is VO?

[keen grove]

virtual onsite

[pale kettle]

what is HC?

[keen grove]

I had my pinterest recruiter call yesterday, assuming same for this person

[dense cloud]

non existent

[rustic vessel]

Wtf

[vast rock]

Today

[rustic vessel]

My mofo recruiter cancelled on me yesterday

[keen grove]

😭

recruiting is fucked

[marble bronze]

Uhh sowwy uwu who was your recruiter

[vast rock]

First name starts with g

[keen grove]

gz?

[marble bronze]

Ok I had a diff recruiter

[pale kettle]

Gabby?

[vast rock]

But the hr call kinda scared me she was kinda aggressive with behaviorals

Like wtf

I just wokeup 5 mins before the call

Lol

[teal jackal]

if im jobless and i dont make the cut to be in tech by december
thats okay, ill move on
ill probably just shift the goalpost of my life and apply to game dev
i have a really cool multiplayer competitive game in the works rn
I think its genuinely 50/50 whether or not I'll get into a tech firm by december

[modest night]

nj/ny

[dense cloud]

speaking of recruiters its my 16th day of being ghosted by palantir 💀 i have given up

[teal jackal]

i wont be depressed if i cant get into tech by december since that'll be the writing on the wall that i never belonged in tech to begin with

time to chase what i entered CS for instead

[dense cloud]

hire me

[dense cloud]

eh i think this is just an especially bad year though

[teal jackal]

i wanna work at a studio

i dont wanna found my own studio

i hate enterprenurship

[dense cloud]

after karat lol

[teal jackal]

wack

Wait wtf

[dense cloud]

redo got cancelled and all

[teal jackal]

thats sus

and sketchy

damn

[foggy perch]

make a vr porn startup

ez

[teal jackal]

im genuinely fine with being in game dev instead

apparently rockstar new england has a studio near my parents house

one town away

[foggy perch]

ew driving

[teal jackal]

apparently a lot of the local game devs in massachusetts work at Rockstar new england

honestly would be sick if i could get on the credits for GTA 7 or RDR3

[waxen bolt]

How long does it usually take to hear back from Palantir about getting HR round?

[dense cloud]

a few days max i think

[solemn crag]

Is HR after Karat?

[signal ore]

How long does it take for the Apple recruiter to respond after your first interview?

[dense cloud]

also do we qualify as new grads after we graduate for ng roles

[dense cloud]

yes

[signal ore]

It’s been a week and I haven’t heard back yet

[solemn crag]

Did my Karat last Friday, redo got cancelled, no reach out yet

[dense cloud]

thats rookie numbers

[rustic vessel]

If you’re good usually pretty fast

They ghost if not usually

[bold pier]

1 week give or take

[sudden depot]

has anyone else not heard back from expedia after taking their OA?

[solemn crag]

^

[sudden depot]

before 2023

I applied with referral on Sept 29 and got an OA on Sept 30

[fervent drift]

i dont even remember applying to them and i have no email confirmation saying "thanks for applying to veeva"...bit sus but ill take it

[cobalt siren]

That’s annoying, wish they could just email rejection after final

[slender apex]

is this after the phone screen or before

[knotty talon]

After phone technical

[slender apex]

u can do a search on them, i think they provide cloud services and the pay is decent

[knotty talon]

I’ve been refreshing my email every 12 seconds since phone technical

because i think I passed

[slender apex]

in that case can i dm u

[knotty talon]

But also haven’t heard back

[knotty talon]

Yea sure

[fervent drift]

[slender apex]

Never heard of fidelity engineering haha

[fervent drift]

[cobalt siren]

Fidelity

I remember a bunch of people getting resume rejected here from them

[hasty birch]

They're actually full? Wow, it seems like so many companies are full already

[marble bronze]

I have my life savings with them so they better offer

[sudden depot]

for the tiktok oa, was it mainly dp?

[brittle sigil]

110 base 20 sign on

[teal jackal]

[late kestrel]

[marble bronze]

I literally just got off the call with the recruiter lmao

Also with a 6/20 start I can't make it anyways lol

So yeah I was like "damn"

[buoyant fable]

is google, meta, microsoft not really doing new grad this year?

[lilac siren]

Idk

[fervent drift]

Freeze

[solemn crag]

Just finished bloomberg 2nd tech onsite, the guy said there will be an HR round in 30 min. Does it mean I passed the tech onsites?

[shrewd ocean]

yes

[solemn crag]

What should I expect at HR round

[fervent drift]

Offer

[solemn crag]

?

[fervent drift]

Tell ‘em to bring you your money

[shrewd ocean]

hr is just like salary expectations etc

[solemn crag]

I thought there is EM round after that lol

[shrewd ocean]

after that is prob em

[fervent drift]

^

[solemn crag]

What should I say about that, I don't have any other offers rn (sad meta intern)

Any advice?

[last summit]

^ u should ask for exactly what their standard offer is +$1000 to assert dominance

[fervent drift]

Be honest about it

Don’t lie

[solemn crag]

Pretty much?

[fervent drift]

Bb better offer him a fat tc

[solemn crag]

Amazon waitlisted me

Palantir no idea

[fervent drift]

W

[solemn crag]

I guess I would say a decent one for NY?

That's all I could say lol

[last summit]

i got resume rj from bb on my 4th email

beginning to think they might mean it

[solemn crag]

So what about the EM round

[shrewd ocean]

how was onsite btw in terms of qs

[solemn crag]

Easy-medium? Just leetcode tags with some twist

[shrewd ocean]

oh wow nice

2 qs per round? or 1

[solemn crag]

Gotta say sometimes I forget one or two lines but still passed the interview anyway

2

[narrow violet]

They about to block you for life 😂

[fossil jewel]

they told me hr will reach out to me about next steps what it mean

[last summit]

they may as well bc if they dont get me now they never will 😎

[shrewd ocean]

after what round

[fossil jewel]

onsite

just finished

[solemn crag]

How to prep for EM round

[narrow violet]

Has anyone had any success in reapplying to bb

[shrewd ocean]

oh lol prob hr round then

[marble bronze]

"I don't have a number in my mind at the moment, but I'd love to come back to this question once I receive an offer."

[fossil jewel]

[narrow violet]

Might just say screw it and re apply to bb

[fossil jewel]

hope so

[solemn crag]

Thanks a lot!

[shrewd ocean]

was onsite hard

[fossil jewel]

nah it wasnt super bad

[shrewd ocean]

tagged?

[fossil jewel]

i did have to get a little nudge in the first round for both q's but ended up getting the answers

[fossil jewel]

eh not really

didnt get OOD

[floral plank]

Is bloomberg onsite lc for both rounds?

[fossil jewel]

well actually, looking at it, they were tagged but not the top tagged

[floral plank]

Like just coding?

[fossil jewel]

ye

second q i didnt have to code but i explained in pseudocode

[floral plank]

When does system design happen?

[fossil jewel]

it doesnt

[floral plank]

I see

[fossil jewel]

EM is usually resume grill no?

[dense cloud]

u had ur em round already?

[fossil jewel]

hopefully i moved to next round

[floral plank]

Anyone did onsite on campus yet?

[fossil jewel]

ah gl

[dense cloud]

omg also i got UNGHOSTED by palantir after 16 days bless

atb!

[last summit]

yo no way nice

what round?

[dense cloud]

for hr round scheduling

the earliest timings are like 2 weeks later though lmao

[last summit]

damn lmaooo

[floral plank]

Yea

it was like that for me

I have final tmr for Palantir

onsite one

For me, it was 2 weeks

[last summit]

literally fuck ripplematch for sending emails like this

my mental ML model is only trained to think that would come from a real recruiter

[rustic vessel]

Unsubscribe ripplematch

It’s trash

[foggy perch]

just pray for a based EM then ez

[crude saffron]

Gl

I need money

Go to radix

Their starting is similar to js I believe

You can become to main breadwinner

Filter out the normies

[last summit]

shittier the quant site better the pay generally speaking

[rustic vessel]

Yes

[crude saffron]

I don’t think the corr is that high

[rustic vessel]

Bb is doomed give up

[last summit]

does anyone get actually filtered by palantir recruiter phone or is it just logistics

[cobalt siren]

@queen valve good luck!

[dense cloud]

anecdotally my friend did

[crude saffron]

Those aren’t mutually exclusive

[last summit]

@queen valve interviewing for qr or qt at radix?

[crude saffron]

Radix hires qt?

[last summit]

oh thats what i meant

didnt even realize t can mean trader too lmao

[late kestrel]

i need to find the guy that said bb was closed back mid semptember. he deleted all of his comments but hes probs still in here

[crude saffron]

Radix qr is quite tough

To get interviewed for

[last summit]

the troll guy who said everything was closed

[fossil jewel]

my recruiter said this server is done hiring

[calm shale]

anyone ghosted by expedia after finals??

[late kestrel]

nah it was a guy who both him and his friend got ghosted on phone

so he was convinced they closed

[west egret]

For better or worse, my BB VO is done. Needed hints on q2(interviewer follow up) and q3(not tagged) but hope I made it through.

[cobalt siren]

Did u get an hr round after 2nd tech?

[west egret]

Nope

[cobalt siren]

Cause I thought usually they tell you instantly after 2nd round if you made it to hr

[west egret]

Interviewer 2 said "looks like there's no one else in line to interview you"

[cobalt siren]

Had mine like 20 mins after 2nd tech and didn’t know about it

Might’ve still made it on tho

[west egret]

I'm gonna be sad if I didn't.........

Did they tell you ahead of time or just shot you an email

[cobalt siren]

The 2nd interviewer just asked if I had time in like 20 mins for the hr round

[late kestrel]

i heard back the next day so its diff for everyone

some ppl it took a week

[autumn ridge]

Anyone have advice for pinterest onsite?

[west egret]

That gives me hope

[autumn ridge]

Is it really going to be 3 rounds of LC hards

[west egret]

I had some mild trouble on q2 and q3

[cobalt siren]

I see yeah don’t give up at all then

[west egret]

so needed hints

[cobalt siren]

I struggled a lot in my 2nd interview and still made it through so I’m sure you’re fine

[west egret]

Interviewer 2 literally said "you solved 1 and 2 pretty easily. We're going to get a bit harder now" 💀

Felt my heart drop when I saw the problem

[delicate sentinel]

The company will send me the money by HyperWallet. Will I use Wise to convert the USD to CDN?

[west egret]

I got it but it took more time. I think he said he usually tries to only ask one question with more depth to it though.

So might be okay.

Interviewers were chill though and kind of vibed. So hope that helps.

[lament summit]

probably at least 1 round of hard

[west egret]

There was no follow up on q3. I just hadn't seen it before and it took me longer.

[autumn ridge]

damn got to pray for some mediums lol

[lament summit]

u could get lucky

[west egret]

separate questions

[lament summit]

who knows

[foggy perch]

just give me alien dictionary as my hard

and I'll be happy

[autumn ridge]

lol I've seen that problem multiple times but still prolly couldn't do it rn

[west egret]

I'd say all my questions were definitely medium level and reasonable.

[west egret]

It's not bad if you know the underlying thought process. It's just weird to think that way.

[foggy perch]

alien dictionary?

[fossil jewel]

same both my interviewers were nice

[autumn ridge]

yeee

[foggy perch]

huh

nah I've burned topo sort into my brain

[fossil jewel]

it was quite back and forth

[foggy perch]

yep

[west egret]

Did you make it to HR and EM?

[fossil jewel]

no i just had my VO

[vestal pelican]

How long does it take to hear back imc phone

[west egret]

Hope we both make it, homie

[fossil jewel]

probably same time as you lol

11am EST

[west egret]

yeah

LOL

I was praying to LC gods to get all tagged with no follow ups lol

[autumn ridge]

I got topo sort but with package dependency for Amazon intern last year. I bombed it but still passed but after that I practiced it a bunch too

[west egret]

It wasn't terrible but it's not like Amazon last year when I walked out feeling like complete garbage.

[fossil jewel]

ye same

i got relatively okay q’s

honestly my worst part is that i couldn’t sleep

[west egret]

Same actually

I think I spent 2 h trying to fall asleep

[fossil jewel]

got that actual sleep at 5am

so it made me slow as heck

got nudges from first interviewer and she was really helpful but i hope it doesn’t reflect negatively

[west egret]

My overall experience has been with chill interviewers

Hope whatever social skills I had was enough to nudge me into a pass

[fossil jewel]

same!

like i am a conversational person

but damn sometimes i lack the brains lmao

[west egret]

I just want a chill job to cruise first 2 years and live life with decent TC

@fossil jewel btw you didn't have HR round yet either right? Or have it scheduled I mean.

Depending on interviewer availability on the day of your interview, we may invite additional members of our teams (Recruitment and/or Engineering) to join you for an additional interview round.

[floral plank]

For bloomberg?

[fossil jewel]

not yet

[fossil jewel]

ye

[west egret]

yeah that was in my email

[shrewd ocean]

whered u get this from?

[shrewd ocean]

for VO sched?

[fossil jewel]

ye

[floral plank]

In the invite email or scheduled one?

[fossil jewel]

the reminder email

[dry salmon]

wtf

[fossil jewel]

bruh

[last summit]

good thing they distinguish between east and west africa though

[analog tree]

!process mastercard reject

[cerulean basin]

You can only use this command in 2022_winter_intern_process, 2022_summer_intern_process, 2022_grad_process, 2022_fall_intern_process, 2023_summer_intern_process, 2023_winter_intern_process, 2023_grad_process

[autumn ridge]

Oh damn they rejected me but that's what I thought they were lol

[teal jackal]

Speaking of circle

is an 812 codesignal score enough

or should i wait

[marble bronze]

They rejected me with an 813

[floral plank]

It is random plus resume

[marble bronze]

But yeah resume probably was a factor

[azure zephyr]

yup

[floral plank]

I got rejected with 819 but someone got an offer with that score

[west egret]

This

[fossil jewel]

ye it seemed that my interviewers had others to interview too

so might be busy with feedback

[calm shale]

damn they so slow lol

[teal jackal]

alright, so ill submit my 812

[calm shale]

its been almost two weeks for u right

[teal jackal]

and see

[calm shale]

i got rejected with 842

resume round comes after oa

[small mountain]

london applicants havent even received the hackerrank yet

[errant karma]

perks of working at Meta

[fossil jewel]

oh i love human interaction!

[calm shale]

as we all chat over discord

lmao

[fossil jewel]

this reminds me of going out with friends and then everyone is on their phone

[errant karma]

You just go to the office for that the whole day

[floral plank]

Wearing headsets can be annoying though

Hurts ur head

[errant karma]

Lol I am just being sarcastic

[floral plank]

Lmao

[fossil jewel]

looks dystopian as hell

[floral plank]

But I would do it for the money

[errant karma]

definitely for 200k TC new grad. It would be dumb to pass that

[distant rampart]

anyone else not get tiktok phone invite yet even after getting 3/3 for OA

[azure zephyr]

yeah over two weeks now i think

or maybe today is the two week mark idk

[hazy egret]

anyone got circle cntacts? they been ghostin

[last summit]

their recruiter is insanely unresponsive

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hazy egret]

been 1month+

rip

accepting defeat

[last summit]

what stage?

[hazy egret]

only oa

[last summit]

o ya prolly doomed 😦

[hazy egret]

yep 🙃

[livid citrus]

anyone hear back from samsara after OA ?

[small mountain]

niiice how did it go

wait why are you still interviewing if you have hella offers

[fossil jewel]

nice

manifesting this

[dense cloud]

damn sounds good

[late kestrel]

jesus how did either of you have that much to talk about 😂

[fossil jewel]

already mentally done with the recruiting shit

[dense cloud]

same i struggle to ask qns tbh lol

[teal jackal]

yeah tbh id run out of questions to say

what are some good questions to ask the interviewer

anyways

[late kestrel]

especially since youd have asked at least a few questions in the first 3 interviews

smh question reuser

[teal jackal]

i cant come up with good quesstions

[west egret]

Had my HR round and they're moving me to EM.

LET'S GO!

[teal jackal]

https://carsandbids.com/auctions/KZMmGgpN/2012-bmw-335i-coupe

[fossil jewel]

oh shit that was quick

[teal jackal]

i am dangerously close to bidding on this with my amazon money

[fossil jewel]

when did they tell you??

[west egret]

recruiter literally called me and asked if I was available

[fossil jewel]

ah

dry phone

[west egret]

I think it might have been some miscommunication because I think she said the interviewer told me to stay on the call but I don't recall that at all

[fossil jewel]

i did tell mine i had a deadline too

[dense cloud]

hr round is after VO?

[west egret]

Also, my fcking power went out mid HR round

[fossil jewel]

it happens

[west egret]

I called recruiter got phone passed to HR person and they told me they want to move me to EM

[fossil jewel]

gg

[west egret]

Praying for you homie

[fossil jewel]

manifesting good vibes here

just hope to get things resolved before the 17

[azure zephyr]

i feel u

but gotta keep pushing ig

[fossil jewel]

past the 17th i’m not, honestly might take the return at jpm and then see

like i don’t care about super high TC or prestige i just want good WLB

[dawn sequoia]

are the postings in #grad_postings_old just opened up for new applicants or they been up for a while and just updated in the server?

[cobalt siren]

mix of both

[tardy geode]

@west egret LFGO , all the best bro . Hope you get the offer too

[foggy perch]

usually latter

since server's slow in updates

[dawn sequoia]

okay thank yall

[cobalt siren]

no

thank you

[dawn sequoia]

also love the name

[foggy perch]

it's tough being the best

[small mountain]

sheeeeeesh

[dawn sequoia]

oh stop it youre making me blush youre too polite. no no, thank you

[west egret]

Tbh take and back out if you need to

[fossil jewel]

nah i just don’t have any drive anymore lol

[west egret]

You're near the end, homie

Plus I think BB would be way better WLB than JPM

[fossil jewel]

oh honestly jpm had pretty chill culture

it’s all slow lmao

[bronze nymph]

i don't think this is true, but the wlb to pay ratio is much higher at bb

[west egret]

but HR round is chill tbh

They just want to get to know you as a person

[floral plank]

BB pays more and looks better on resume

[bronze nymph]

yea im not saying jpmc > bb

[solemn crag]

Recruiter didn't ask compensation expectation Is that a rej

[west egret]

From what I've seen WLB at BB is pretty good

[west egret]

For what company?

[fossil jewel]

eh honestly i did hear back a lot from places this year surprisingly

[wind drum]

fellas this might be a spicy one but is it really more ethical to work at microsoft than palantir

from what im seeing they also make products for military use as well

[solemn crag]

BB

[bronze nymph]

maybe pound to pound yes? but all big tech cos are ultimately trash so it doesn't really matter the way i see it

[night magnet]

Pltr’s sole purpose vs one of msft’s orgs

[west egret]

Recruiter didn't ask during HR round? or you mean in general

[wind drum]

nah palantir's products are also for commercial use

[solemn crag]

Yea recruiter didn't ask compensation during HR round

Got moved to EM round anyway

[cobalt siren]

theyll ask you later on anyways

[west egret]

I just gave ranges that added up to the numbers I see on levels.fyi

[fossil jewel]

oh they ask?

[young peak]

Afternoon gentlemen

[late kestrel]

tbf mine didnt ask either, just depends on the recruiter

[shrewd ocean]

like u gave actual numbers?

[young peak]

https://tenor.com/view/wednesday-happy-hump-day-kermit-gif-24728176

[west egret]

yes

[fossil jewel]

would it be weird if i email my recruiter on how long it would take to hear back lol

[young peak]

Ey Hachi

whats the HFT struggle today

[cobalt siren]

i think I messed up bb salary by telling them my competing offer with c1 and the exact salary lol

[young peak]

how'd it go?

[cobalt siren]

how was your em round? Did it have sys design

[shrewd ocean]

what u say for ranges 170-200?

[young peak]

it's alright, they'll prob give you the 200k offer

yeah it's just a sanity check, you're chillin

congrats on the offer ahead of time 🎊

[cobalt siren]

@queen valve gotcha, were they technical questions? And good luck sounds like you did well haha

[azure zephyr]

hachiyuki i can't even keep up with u

palantir & bloomberg are your top picks right?

[fossil jewel]

y'all are cracked

[young peak]

I personally had an OOD round, where we just went over making a casino through convo but it's mostly always just convos with questions

[young peak]

we are all cracked**

[cobalt siren]

hmm, so not as sys design tho and more object oriented

[west egret]

~170 for recurring. Unless you have big tech offers already, I doubt they'd negotiate 30k more.

[young peak]

yeah no sys design for us low level plebs

unless you live in london then goodluck

[west egret]

Also, with this economy I'm not taking chances by trying to overly negotiate my offer.

Average is okay with me

[cobalt siren]

thank god i dont live in london

and not only cause of the bb interview lo;

[young peak]

They won't swipe out the offer from you for asking for more, but I understand

it was scary to nego with no offers for me too

[shrewd ocean]

how do u actually do this

without offers

[plush schooner]

yuuuup when did you do yours? I did mine in september

[dense cloud]

bb folks

how many tagged qns did yall do?

[young peak]

There's a couple of ways but the easiest one is just saying "Hey I have all these other interviews, and I'll stop em for BB if you give me X more "

[young peak]

I did 10

[fossil jewel]

not that much lol

[keen grove]

bb got me heated

[fossil jewel]

tagged was harder than what i got

[young peak]

I got LC easies on phone and onsite though

so I'm RNG blessed

[cobalt siren]

also in my 2nd tech vo interview i got ood

so not always lc

[dense cloud]

manifesting 🙏

[cobalt siren]

@young peak did you get offer?

[fossil jewel]

actually same, LC easy to med

[shrewd ocean]

was it the tagged ood

[dense cloud]

isnt ood also lc though

[young peak]

Yessir

[dense cloud]

like lc design qn

[fossil jewel]

and one ood tagged (easy)

in phone

[cobalt siren]

congrats! Did u have competing offers?

[west egret]

top 20 for me

[young peak]

My offer is a bit out there in TC, but the interviews I had were ez

[timber rock]

are the optiver oa's hard

they sent me like 3 of them

[fossil jewel]

hopefully things go well

[cobalt siren]

Standard bb is 155k base 17k target and 10k relo?

[young peak]

A bit complicated, but yeah I guess? I had a total of 8 offers at the end but at the start BB was my first offer

[cobalt siren]

i guess, but the problem they gave seemed like they made up themselves

[calm shale]

i did mine a week ago

[azure zephyr]

whats your real top pick then homie

ahhh i see

[cobalt siren]

Also hypothetical but bloomberg vs atlassian vs veeva?

[azure zephyr]

never say never

[west egret]

Yeah they'll change the name of it so you can't identify it right away but the core is the same

[young peak]

idk where it is so I'll say it again but I had offers from : Google, Meta, Bloomberg, TikTok, DraftKings, Citadel, Uber, Series A startup

[dense cloud]

r u in the interview process alr?

[cobalt siren]

yeah fair

[west egret]

might also add some additional conditions to make it slightly diff

[young peak]

here's the slanky (7 -> 8)

[shrewd ocean]

wb sign on

[bronze nymph]

xceed boutta throw hands

[cobalt siren]

no sign on i think

[late kestrel]

you really come in here once a week just to flex 😭

[cobalt siren]

unless u nego

[plush schooner]

those are your stats?

[young peak]

Mah boi xceed don't believe my offer exists 😭

[young peak]

ye

[plush schooner]

nice!

[young peak]

[bronze nymph]

[calm shale]

[fossil jewel]

[dense cloud]

[timber rock]

[calm shale]

[dense cloud]

@queen valve would u take palantir over bloomberg if u got both?

[late kestrel]

bbgang

im a simp and its disgusting

[young peak]

BB is a lovely place to be fellas

[distant rampart]

Vo or phone?

[young peak]

I spoke with a lot of employers and they've always hauled two places as recession proof

BB and Google

[late kestrel]

and theyre hiring lots of us poor 2023 grads

[young peak]

yeah people aren't rejecting BB enough this year

[distant rampart]

I have phone next week rip

[young peak]

so HC is shrivelling up

[outer radish]

holy shit you've got 7 offers?

[pale kettle]

what is hc?

[young peak]

yes! 8 but yeah

[azure zephyr]

I think I'm done applying to places

[young peak]

I prefer bracked thank you

[azure zephyr]

Time to finish out processes and hope for the best 🙏

[young peak]

[late kestrel]

tbf the non expedited cold apply pipeline has always been super duper slow, its not a symptom of lower hc

[distant rampart]

Yogi where did u end up signing

[young peak]

Google

[distant rampart]

8 is amazing

[fossil jewel]

i'd imagine they got lots of applicants

[young peak]

thanks homie

[distant rampart]

Ok no wonder u got 8

[azure zephyr]

i swear i see yogi post that slanky weekly 😭

imma eat it up every time tho

[young peak]

People jump in that don't know gotta get that respect

[young peak]

Really hard choices too, in a different timeline I can see myself working at all of em

[azure zephyr]

not sure yet, have a bunch of processes to go through. fingers crossed for atlassian tho!

[young peak]

Citadel was the hardest to turn down

[outer radish]

slanky chart got me feeling hanky 🥴

[azure zephyr]

lol didn't pan just go through the citadel process

[young peak]

you'd have to have an extra good reason to reject an HFT for a tech company at that big of a tc diff

tru

[azure zephyr]

if yall watch him

[timber rock]

ye he did

[young peak]

zon looking good rn

good place to be if you find the right team

[dense cloud]

what is ur google PA?

[young peak]

Cloud

attempting to transfer to YT though

I got a 20% in Kronos

[keen grove]

I had a 9/15 phone where the interviewer didn't show, they put me to oct 25th 🙃

just a mess

yeah

[distant rampart]

Wtf

[keen grove]

what's the point of ghosting an interview anyways lmao

[dense cloud]

my first phone is next week 😭

[azure zephyr]

Bloomberg's earliest technical phone is 11/1 wtf 😭

[dense cloud]

bloomberg’s next grad batch is gna be the most stacked

[floral plank]

For me it was a month too

[azure zephyr]

Also is Bloomberg's process phone -> on site -> em -> offer?

[young peak]

fr they be swiping HFT devs for the lowest possible TC

good shit

[dense cloud]

hopefully 10k

[floral plank]

got reached out in august and had phone last week

[autumn ridge]

recruiter said they had 40k apps no idea on actual hiring number though

[distant rampart]

The fuck

40k

[floral plank]

Hopefully the rest of the process is smoother assuming interviews go well

[late kestrel]

theyre probably not even hiring that many more ppl than other years, its just that the market sucks rn

[azure zephyr]

at least it gives me time to prepare lmao. i was pretty ehhh on bloomberg at first bc of nyc & the ghosting, but this new grad class gonna be so stacked it'll prob be super fun

[autumn ridge]

Yeah but netflix resume screened and then sent OAs

BB doesn't even have an OA it's just resume -> phone

[foggy perch]

did you end up getting msft offer?

since ik you mentioned that

[autumn ridge]

I think their the only company I can think of with no OA

[floral plank]

true I prepared alot for phone during that month

[foggy perch]

rip

[dense cloud]

whenever the economy recovers bb is gna see a mass exodus of swe

[azure zephyr]

msft cancelled all finals

[foggy perch]

f

[azure zephyr]

including mine

[foggy perch]

rippp
