[ebon quiver]

breh. its over

we picked the wrong major boys

[late kestrel]

imagine being a cs major

nerds

[next kelp]

Time to delay graduation for this

[teal jackal]

Tbh pastures ain't greener elsewhere

We still better off that some others

[last summit]

BRUH

I got resume rj from databricks, reapplied for the internship and got codesignal

[ebon quiver]

bruh

internship

[teal jackal]

That's auto tho

[last summit]

imma send them my shit and ask them to switch me to NG after

no its not

[teal jackal]

Pretty much meaningless

[ebon quiver]

its def not auto breh

databricks been rejecting me since day 1

[teal jackal]

Really?

[ebon quiver]

does this work

[last summit]

It worked for someone last year @ fb i remember

[teal jackal]

Db intern codesignal is non-auto?

[ebon quiver]

send me the job app, let me try >:)

[last summit]

worth a shot lol

[teal jackal]

Wild

[ebon quiver]

send me the job app

[teal jackal]

I got resume rj at Bloomberg and got in the loop through alt email

Try alt emails fr

[ebon quiver]

fax

[last summit]

imma try that if this doesnt work

[azure zephyr]

yeah this shit rng asf

[last summit]

also deadass dm'd my codesignal report to their recruiters on linkedin lmfao

[ebon quiver]

is msft even hiring

[teal jackal]

My csgo friend got cucked at databricks as an intern and didn't get return

Apparently he's in purgatory too

[last summit]

https://www.databricks.com/company/careers/open-positions/job?gh_jid=6289910002

[dreamy jacinth]

Do you also need alt phone number?

[ebon quiver]

[teal jackal]

Not all companies need

[dreamy jacinth]

Oh

[teal jackal]

Sometimes they don't care

[dreamy jacinth]

I see

[teal jackal]

Better to try

[dreamy jacinth]

what about resume

[teal jackal]

Than not try

[teal jackal]

Everything can verbatim be the same, just not the email

[dreamy jacinth]

But I am afraid I get blacklisted

[teal jackal]

Nah you won't imo

Or its worth the risk to me

[dreamy jacinth]

if they catch me double applying

hmm

[teal jackal]

New grad is all about shotgunning apps

[dreamy jacinth]

what about for smaller companies like trading

[teal jackal]

Once were fully in industry, that's when we go sniper mode rather than shotgun

[dreamy jacinth]

I feel like they probably have one or two recruiters

[last summit]

im surprised they dont have an auto grad date filter? I didnt cap i put graduating spring 2023 lol

[dreamy jacinth]

so if they remeber your resume

[teal jackal]

I would double apply for tech since they don't care, I wouldn't do it for quant

[dreamy jacinth]

I see

[teal jackal]

Since quant does care

[forest galleon]

how was the data tooling one?

[ebon quiver]

bruh msft 😦

[teal jackal]

This used to be u?

[glad pier]

can a person of avg intelligence get into jane street

[narrow violet]

You have inspired me to re apply to places. Time to go on a app spree lol

[narrow violet]

Most of the people there are cracked

[umbral plover]

i did this back so long ago LOL i got rejected after cuz i assume i didnt get all the test cases

[ebon quiver]

yuh

[ebon quiver]

few months ago 😦

[glad pier]

wot, js interviews like everyone at least for trader

its ok

[teal jackal]

when youre new to industry you shotgun/go machine gun
when youre experienced you go sniper

[glad pier]

u can just go to ur backup

hudson river trading

[teal jackal]

go spam apps my man

[flat tusk]

Curious what role you interviewed for and how you negotiated so well, back and forth numbers would be great

[grizzled finch]

Has anyone got rejected from Roblox who thought they did good?

[glad pier]

dang u must be so smart

[teal jackal]

ive always wondered what even is average intelligence

[ebon quiver]

what if we alr did

[glad pier]

u are

[teal jackal]

ive always felt like im not that smart, probably smarter than 2/3rds of society but not a prodigy

[ebon quiver]

same as me

[glad pier]

i wanna run an experiment where u train a rando state school dude to get into js

im cautiously bullish

[teal jackal]

Idk

[glad pier]

wlb is kinda just what u make of it

js doesnt fire ppl so u can just coast

[rustic vessel]

Not much harder work but harder screening is what I’ve heard

[glad pier]

obv like if ur just making ur 200k base or whatever its like getting soft fired

na theres tons of dumbasses at js

u should apply irregardless of the number of dumbasses

[teal jackal]

There's mediocre people at Ivy's and t5 cs too

Yeah I heard js really cares about school prestige

[glad pier]

i dont think so

they barely hire new grads

they dont really for intern

*at least for trader

[thorn walrus]

they don’t for intern

[peak ferry]

trader vs swe is apparently hugely different in terms of recruiting

[thorn walrus]

i go to a state school and got js interview for swe

[peak ferry]

**in general idk about js in specific

[umbral plover]

python role. they initially asked for my meraki return offer numbers and i provided them, then gave me an offer which was 35k tc lower than the offer i posted, then i provided them netflix’s numbers and then they gave me that offer i posted

[glad pier]

do u guys (in this chat) think that you will be able to make it into js

[peak ferry]

ok mfer which state school, last time I had someone say that when they went to gatech

[thorn walrus]

not trying to dox lol

[peak ferry]

I didn't for ng

[peak ferry]

ok but is it gatech/cal/uiuc level or no

[glad pier]

i got interviews w/o good college

[rustic vessel]

I’ll dox you

[glad pier]

but for trader they are more lenient

[rain patio]

just bombed my phone so probs not

[thorn walrus]

nooo stop

[glad pier]

but next year

[rustic vessel]

Where’s my robux

[flat tusk]

Crazy, did you need proof of letters and what was netflix/meraki tc

[rain patio]

ah at some point in my life probably yes

[glad pier]

glhf

[umbral plover]

they didnt ask proof, netflix offer is the same that posted around here with 205k base, and meraki about 210k tc

[teal jackal]

i think really good experience matters too, also sometimes you jsut get god tier RNG

[flat tusk]

Thanks for the overview, congrats on the offers!

[umbral plover]

u tell me

[glad pier]

what happened to n3 btw

can someone explain the lore

[graceful bobcat]

linkedin vs amazon for full time? ( Assuming joining both at sde1 level )

[chilly burrow]

Linkedin

[umbral plover]

currently on pacific time

[hexed moth]

🍌

[celest whale]

LinkedIn. Get in and give me free premium

That shit is expensive

[teal jackal]

my good enough goal is 110k base, attainable stretch goal is 150k TC, HOLY SHIT BASED stretch goal is like 180-190k TC
first goal achieved: ill go touch grass and enjoy life
second goal achieved: ill stop interviewing
third goal achieved: i buy ppl dinner

[chilly burrow]

For public companies def

[teal jackal]

def not zon

[fossil jewel]

L rejected from bbg

[hexed moth]

maybe elaborate on why linkedin

lmfao what

[eager gazelle]

How does bloomberg update you on phone interview results? I missed a call from them a few days after my interview but never received an email so kinda worried that phone call was important

[ebon quiver]

the friggin adobe application

dpes not. fucking work

[hexed moth]

what would u even do at linkedin

that's wild

but i just mean like

i feel like linkedin doesn't really make stuff or anything

[forest galleon]

ah I see, guess they still haven't filled the positions lol! I just got it and was kinda curious how the oa was

[teal jackal]

pinterest just makes imageboards for teenage girls, i do not get why they make money

[hexed moth]

those teenage girls make them money

[peak ferry]

I literally don't understand how pinterest makes money = not top tier for me

[hexed moth]

never doubt the power of teenage girls

[teal jackal]

https://img-9gag-fun.9cache.com/photo/aQX1Dbq_460s.jpg

[hexed moth]

do u think they like the product they make at reddit

[teal jackal]

nah i luv reddit

[livid citrus]

does karat ask resume questions?

[shell dome]

thoughts on doing atlassian interview loop if i have palantir?

dont really have much bandwidth for doing interviews rn

[hexed moth]

isnt that much of the internet sadly

[night magnet]

Remote

+better WLB

[narrow violet]

Worth giving it a go

[shell dome]

swe

[shell dome]

wb if i need to make space for other interviews (hrt, db) since i need to rush processes due to offer deadline

[teal jackal]

is there a reason why SWE preferred over FDSE

[hexed moth]

i hope after i work at amazon for a bit ill have more value as a candidate so i wont get resume rejected because i go to a literal random school

[teal jackal]

are u going to amazon for ng?

[shell dome]

also in addition, schoolwork is picking up (hitting midterm season)

[teal jackal]

amazon ng is good

[hexed moth]

ye

[teal jackal]

i think youll be able to hop to a lot of placces

[lament summit]

if u dont get pipped

[teal jackal]

if u can stay there and survive there

[hexed moth]

none of my friends have ever been pipped

[shell dome]

idk thats why im asking

[lament summit]

which org are u joining

[hexed moth]

lmao they dont tell u until a month before u start

[shell dome]

seems to be about 170k recurring

[lament summit]

o rip

return interns just get placed back on the same team

[hexed moth]

oh yeah im no returner

interesting

id rank it, 1 job security, 2 tc 3 wlb 4 resume val 5 stock risk

[teal jackal]

im so hungry rn

but im in class

please get me out of here

i wanna go to subway on campus

nah i cant

[lament summit]

pltr better for resume value imo

[teal jackal]

this class is hella cringe, they track activity

i didnt know that profs were still hella insecure about in person attendance

[hexed moth]

just fall over in class

and pretend like you fainted

[lament summit]

what if u dont have friends

then what u gonna do

[hexed moth]

make a friend

[chilly burrow]

Den make some

[lament summit]

i like this

[teal jackal]

we use qwickly attendance

friend can just send me the attendance code

man i realized why authoritarianism is bad

its like, when you want someone to do something, positive and voluntary incentives makes people motivated to do so

[hexed moth]

if someone asked me to use their clicker

i would

even if i wasnt their friend or knew them

[teal jackal]

but when someone forces you to do something by holding something else hostage(my grade), it pisses me off irrationally

[chilly burrow]

Cry?

[teal jackal]

replace the Y with an E

northeastern lol

[hexed moth]

no like use it for them

[chilly burrow]

Oh lol i thot i wet buidlin up 2 smth

[teal jackal]

huh

[chilly burrow]

huh

[hexed moth]

huh

[last summit]

huh

[rain patio]

[ebon quiver]

huh

i like the word chortle

hehe chortle

[maiden ice]

Linkedin learning

[hexed moth]

[ebon quiver]

[hexed moth]

aepic

[ebon quiver]

yeah i did

[hexed moth]

proud of u

[ebon quiver]

thanks bud

i felt kinda bad at the beginning

it kind blew up tbh -- 1800 or something reactions

but im over it now.

[floral plank]

How long does it take to hear back from Palantir after final?

[maiden ice]

I just remember last year when I got LinkedIn intern offer they said if I accepted I’d be doing LinkedIn learning

[ebon quiver]

i got some referrals through it but nothing too crazy

[hexed moth]

better than nothing io

imo

[ebon quiver]

but it was nice to see that people were so supportive even though they didnt know me

that was the most crazy thing tbh

[hexed moth]

i mean look at this discord for the most part

[ebon quiver]

what about i t

[hexed moth]

random people helping eachother

[ebon quiver]

yeah true

but going out of ur way to give a referral

more than j sending a message

[ebon quiver]

hows yo job search bud

[hexed moth]

i have an offer at amazon

rather i accepted one

[teal jackal]

Congrats man

Finally out of purgatory

[lament frost]

Congrats

[hexed moth]

thanks y'all

[ebon quiver]

congats man

was it out of waitlist or what

[teal jackal]

The day I get my first job that pays 110k base, I will start going hard playing ark survival evolved

Ark survival evolved will be my "touch grass"

[compact obsidian]

110k base could be a meh amount to a decent amount depending on location tho

depends on the company

but tell me about a project pretty common q

some "phone" screens are technicals

[rain patio]

some ask basic technical questions

[compact obsidian]

w/ hackerrank

[rain patio]

like really basic

just to check if you're not going to waste their time

[compact obsidian]

if you know your interviewer, check their linkedin

if recruiter or hr -> probably behavioral

if engineer -> probably technical

if they have a hackerrank link in the email -> almost certainly technical

[dense cloud]

how fast does hrt send codesignal

oh shit its been hours 💀

should i reapply

[compact obsidian]

dang 850 cga?

cracked

[dense cloud]

i applied with alt email after i fucked up codesignal with my main email

tough ass q4

[compact obsidian]

higest ive gotten is like 845, and highest ive seen is 849

[dense cloud]

maybe they detected duplicate 💀

[compact obsidian]

how fast was ur 850

[dense cloud]

yeah hrt doesnt allow >20 days old results

fucked me over

[compact obsidian]

my friend's 849 was 23 min

[dense cloud]

had a 840+ waiting for them 😭

[potent dew]

For onsite or hm?

[compact obsidian]

o

[dense cloud]

did yall get a q4 segment tree qn

[compact obsidian]

query obstacles?

[dense cloud]

i saw the exact same thing on lc and its a hard 💀

[fossil jewel]

lowkey this server might've skewed people's view on whats good or bad TC

[compact obsidian]

u can solve w/o segtree

[dense cloud]

nah intervals related

[compact obsidian]

o

[compact obsidian]

fair lol

but i genuinely think like 110k base in like NYC is kinda meh

[dense cloud]

its basically this

[compact obsidian]

depending on stock/bonus

[dense cloud]

https://leetcode.com/problems/amount-of-new-area-painted-each-day/description/

[fossil jewel]

depends where nyc

some parts are expensive, but lower commute

[dense cloud]

i attempted that qn before but didnt read the soln

[compact obsidian]

tru

There is a long and thin painting that can be represented by a number line. You are given a 0-indexed 2D integer array paint of length n, where paint[i] = [starti, endi]. This means that on the ith day you need to paint the area between starti and endi.

Painting the same area multiple times will create an uneven painting so you only want to paint each area of the painting at most once.

Return an integer array worklog of length n, where worklog[i] is the amount of new area that you painted on the ith day.

[dense cloud]

yeah but the codesignal one has infinite intervals

like 10^12 whereas this is just 10^4

i tried to do merge intervals but gave up

too confusing

whats veb

[floral plank]

On-site

[compact obsidian]

what's veb tho

[dusky ledge]

What are chances bb interviewer doesn’t show up for 2nd time lol

[pearl hazel]

@umbral plover hey can i dm about meraki, i ended up getting the offer from when I dm'ed you earlier on in may but I wanted to ask some more questions 😅

[dense cloud]

how do u use set?

[solemn crag]

Ghosted after Palantir Karat😢

[dense cloud]

ah okay that was what i was tryna do

merge intervals but

[solemn crag]

How long time do they process everything

[dense cloud]

it was so troublesome lmao i confused myself

[dense cloud]

i heard back after 16 days 💀

ah that might be easier to implement

[solemn crag]

What's after Karat, is it HR call / Onsite?

[dense cloud]

for me hr call

but some people have different orders

i think the normal one has hr call first though

[solemn crag]

Is that just logistic HR round

or many why Palantir questions

[dense cloud]

ik ppl who have been rejected at hr call

so ig not

[solemn crag]

uh

[dense cloud]

they are hiring

palantir is the new faang

[fast hinge]

Neeva full 🥲

[solemn crag]

How was the Palantir onsite round

[dense cloud]

idk i havent done hr call

[potent dew]

Took mine on a Friday heard back the next tues I think

[azure zephyr]

hey how do people recommend studying for bloomberg phone? tagged?

[lament summit]

i did phone two days ago I just did b75

[serene fable]

What are people saying for the palantir short answer question on the application?

[azure zephyr]

and you think it went well?

i've done b75 just wondering if i should do tagged as well

[lament summit]

yeah bb was really easy

[sage sluice]

expedia is:
strength based assessment -> OA -> final ?

[lament summit]

Yeah do tagged as well

bb is like easy-med

the meds are on the easier end

[azure zephyr]

okay thank you, i have my phone nov 1 so i have time

but if i pass phone i want to expedite the rest of the process if i can bc i have deadlines

[solemn crag]

Yes, all my questions are tagged, easy-medium

[dreamy cliff]

i dare someone to submit it with "deez nutz" in that field to test this

jk but like imagine

[pale kettle]

just say you love spying on citizens, instant offer

[lament summit]

U might wanna expedite the Nov 1

[dense cloud]

how many phones does bb have

[lament summit]

None of my q were tagged

but they were ez

[azure zephyr]

why's that? it was the earliest time available

[lament summit]

oh rip

[azure zephyr]

yea fr

[lament summit]

Cuz everywhere is closing and having headcount issues

[dreamy cliff]

did you tell them you have expiring offer deadlines?

[lament summit]

this season is all about speed

[azure zephyr]

yeah hoping i dont screwed by headcounts lmao

[dense cloud]

my first phone is next week 😭

rip

[azure zephyr]

haven't had the opportunity to

[dreamy cliff]

i just had my bb phone today and it was easy and i'm the type to get nervous af during interviews so i'm hoping yours is easy too 🙏

[azure zephyr]

i feel like bloomberg is big enough to accommodate all of this (hopefully)

[serene fable]

I heard some reports that they took it seriously, so I wasn't sure

[lament summit]

If amazon can’t accommodate everyone what makes u think bb can

[azure zephyr]

bro i was so naive to think i'd be completely done with my recruiting cycle by now

[small mountain]

ive been told that tagged is very useful for bloomberg. every question soybean got asked in all the stages were tagged in the top 50 frequent and he got an offer as a result

[dreamy cliff]

they might give you sooner dates, i did that and they updated my scheduler to include sooner times but if all of the slots are filled that won't work ig

[small mountain]

ye

[azure zephyr]

idk im just trying to be optimistic 😭 doesn't really seem like there's anything i can do if all the interview slots are filled for the next two weeks

[dense cloud]

top 50 tagged enough?

[small mountain]

i suppose so

[azure zephyr]

it seems like bloomberg is big on design questions

[pure mauve]

Me haha

[hard coral]

Did anyone have their bloomberg On Campus Interview?

[dreamy cliff]

mine wasn't bb tagged but it was a lc easy design q

[hard coral]

I got done with my phone screen for Bloomberg and for the next round they are coming on campus

[vale cargo]

I did 15-20 tagged mediums and ended up getting 4 of them in my final

[dense cloud]

did u get an offer?

manifesting 🙏

[lament summit]

ah rip

don’t u have a couple offers tho

[hard coral]

Do they ask LC Hard in on-site Bloomberg?

[fickle bridge]

Yea I got to move forward with two companies today

Companies are processing

[lament summit]

No they ask easys

easy - meds

[dense cloud]

i shd have applied earlier to bloomberg

[old smelt]

Some ppl get hards

And sys design for EM round

[lament summit]

Really?

Damn

I got two sum on my phone

so idk

[solemn crag]

How to prep for EM round? Also are EM round slots filled

[lament summit]

I wanted to laugh so hard when I saw the question

my next q was number of islands basically another easy

[calm shale]

damn i got a med/hard graph problem

[lament summit]

Xd

[west egret]

I got asked 2 non tagged so far. YMMV.

[dense cloud]

hoping my bb interviewers woke up on the right side of the bed

actually im just hoping they wake up in time

[west egret]

You mean people got LC hards during phone/VO or you mean they got LC hards during EM round?

[west egret]

Just get your expedia interviewer to get a job with BB

Yeah it's just RNG. Either that or they can ask questions that are tagged but way lower on the list.

[calm shale]

wtf is a test

[west egret]

I thought SWE is just solving LC

[calm shale]

we'll just let the users deal with that tbh

[solemn crag]

Any tips on how to prep for EM round? Also are EM round slots filled

Anyone have their EM scheduled atm

[ivory stratus]

For those that took Expedia hackerrank, how was it?

[floral plank]

easy but it is rng

[lament summit]

Did u do the whole ass take home

o

[floral plank]

I got no response from neeva

[floral plank]

For next steps or reject?

[potent dew]

I have hm soon

I think my recruiter was away and they sometimes get back quicker

[lament summit]

Does a recruiter reach out post tech phone?

cuz before that it’s like automated right

[west egret]

HC reached according to email

[slender apex]

anyone here got experience with the pinterest hiring process, if so can i plz dm

[knotty talon]

im in final

whatsup

o i think we already talked the other day nayway

[dusky ledge]

so i just had my bloomberg first round and tldr: i got the technical part and the conversations was a bit weird and hard to talk to him what are chances i move on?

[lament summit]

51.8462%

[lament summit]

u look familiar do u go to rit

[dusky ledge]

he asked what an endpoint was

and hes been an engineer for 13 years at bb

😑

[lament summit]

Rit lambdas,

lmfaoo

dw bout it

it’s plz gib job

[lament summit]

and u couldn’t answer that?

[dusky ledge]

i did

[lament summit]

then what’s the issue

so if anything ur teaching him something what’s bad about that?

[slender apex]

yeah lol, thanks for everything!

[ivory stratus]

Lol talking about your work experience in technical interviews

[dense cloud]

how do yall ans the qn “tell me about yourself”

how long do yall talk for

[bronze nymph]

it's complete rng

some people ask chill behavioral questions, some grill on sys design

i'd prep for system des just in case

yea

[vestal pelican]

I struggle with know how long to explain things for this

I feel like I always end up going on a tangent

[west egret]

Does anyone get asked further LC?

[prime palm]

yo how was your VO

I have that in November

It's 2 rounds back to back right? 2 leetcode q each?

[prime palm]

62%

[thick cave]

Is anyone else somewhat struggling with OA’s, I feel like I’m getting great opportunities at companies however I’m not really acing every OA, I do see improvement tho w my Leetcode skills

[autumn ridge]

difficulty on OA's feels like it has skyrocketed

[ripe marsh]

Just finished my Amazon final almost perfectly if I don’t get an offer my self esteem is gonna 📉💥💥

[clever orbit]

does codility consider time complexity or jsut correctness?

[autumn ridge]

Like legit LC hards consistently from multiple companies

[west egret]

Depends. I got asked only 1 q for one of my VO rounds.

[ivory stratus]

As long as you pass test cases you should be good

[prime palm]

ayo?!

[thick cave]

Yea it seems like the third or final question is usually a Leetcode hard or smthn

[late kestrel]

can confirm

[west egret]

Yeah I got help from my interviewers but being verbal throughout the process is important.

I'm far from being good at LC.

[thick cave]

Also btw has anyone interviewed with StackAdapt?

[bronze nymph]

i'm sure someone probably has, i didnt though

[blazing sonnet]

did you get an offer for jan start date? recruiter called me today and said they are out of jan start day, but they can do aug

[tardy geode]

no LC?

[chilly burrow]

I'd say 750 min

But do b aware that they resume screen after codesignal

You could get an 830+ and be rejected

[uneven fulcrum]

Is eBay codesignal automated?

[chilly burrow]

Actually I'm not entirely sure tbh 😅

[dusky ledge]

It was technical + resume walk through

[foggy star]

check lc discuss but might be rng like someone said

[prime palm]

SHEESH

[lone rapids]

You solved it fully though with bugs ig

[solemn crag]

^^ would like some advice as well

[ebon quiver]

i did well on my amazon final too....

[thick shell]

Bloomberg interviewer didn't show up, GG's

been in the Zoom and Hackerrank lobby alone for the past 30 minutes lmaoo

[keen grove]

they're still pulling this shit??

unbelievable

[ebon quiver]

has anyone done the chewy sparkhire video interview ?

[thick shell]

It's so weird fr

[foggy star]

what did you use?

[tardy geode]

whats the diff between LC premium company tagged and this one (https://leetcode-company-tagged.vercel.app/)

i saw the bb tagged list sorted them by max freq (6 months) i see slight difference between both

@chilly burrow

[gentle lantern]

Does anyone know if they ask behavioral stuff on bloomberg onsite?

[calm shale]

go for 90 sec max

[pure mauve]

yeah lmao

[rain patio]

I think it’s a good chance to humanize yourself before coding and make an impression on interviewer

[dense cloud]

like what ure currently studying, prev exp and what u wna do in the future?

is it bad to talk about non technical things like hobbies lol

[azure zephyr]

thoughts on boston for new grad?

[rain patio]

I usually talk about photography and my family

[calm shale]

Ya

[night magnet]

How’s the weather difference

[calm shale]

quick intro, prev experience and future expectations

i go into more personal stuff when the topic comes up

[azure zephyr]

is COL about the same as nyc?

[ivory stratus]

bro i feel like working at expedia would be so chill

like imagine all the travel perks

[ivory stratus]

def cheaper

[calm shale]

either just chatting at the end or during behavioral

[calm shale]

tru and their office is so nice

[ivory stratus]

yeah for sure

[ivory stratus]

i didnt realize that they own vrbo and hotels.com

[azure zephyr]

facts i watched a youtube video of it yesterday and its insane

so tempted to just sign with them and call it a day

but i wont

[ivory stratus]

dont wanna sign with amazon?

[calm shale]

i biked there last year during sunset, the views were insane

[azure zephyr]

oh youre from seattle?

[azure zephyr]

nah im 100% not signing with them

[calm shale]

nah visited amazon friends

[ivory stratus]

oh fair enough. just using them as leverage for negotiatioins

[azure zephyr]

well i already signed i have to renege but using for negos yea

[ivory stratus]

have you tried negotiating expedia yet?

or "Lmao found better company with better wlb. good luck nerds. git gud"

[azure zephyr]

no not yet i need to do research on how to negotiate first

[ripe marsh]

Nice best of luck!

[ebon quiver]

not to ruin your hopes, but i got waitlisted 😦

[ebon quiver]

hopefully u get better luck than me 🤞

can i chortle ur balls

[autumn ridge]

I'm trying to nego ATT with BB and the HR person was so out of touch it's unreal. Trying to convince me that the mentorship of ATT is more valuable than the salary difference lol

[ebon quiver]

what is att ?

[calm shale]

• https://haseebq.com/my-ten-rules-for-negotiating-a-job-offer/
• https://candor.co/guides/salary-negotiation

[autumn ridge]

AT&T the internet/carrier

[calm shale]

att is nowhere close to bb right

[azure zephyr]

tysm

[autumn ridge]

yeah it's 87.5k + 7k bonus in Dallas

[ebon quiver]

nice complexity

[calm shale]

why are u even bothering to nego lol

[autumn ridge]

I thought if they can juice their offer I could maybe use it to nego with BB

[calm shale]

ah i see

[autumn ridge]

If they bumped it to like 100k base

Still probs not but still worth trying if I don't get anything else

[calm shale]

i feel like that might be a stretch I hope you get something else to nego with

[ebon quiver]

isnt that still lower than bb ofer tho? how would u negotiate

[autumn ridge]

RIP

Really though like wouldn't negotiate with 140k in somewhere way cheaper than NYC

[sudden sequoia]

anyone end up hearing back from amazon? after getting waitlistedish

[ebon quiver]

interview is never gonna say sm bad i mean

[thorn walrus]

i went to discovery day and got great vibes

[ebon quiver]

oh ok then that sounds cool

my interviewer was p depressed himself

same thing with me. did u get rejected?

[floral plank]

Is it ok to apply to the same position again after getting rejected?

[ebon quiver]

yes but use a diff email

[floral plank]

Is Atlassian full?

[ebon quiver]

i had the same thing happen to me and i couldnt solve the followup but i still got thru. stay positive bud

[ebon quiver]

i dont think so but i have never heard back

[ripe marsh]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

🤞

[ivory stratus]

why tf does hackerrank like using arraylists in java

so annoying

[ebon quiver]

it took a bit more than a week

[radiant juniper]

Anyone here done the Palantir behavioral round? I have mine next Thursday

[ripe marsh]

As opposed to?

[floral plank]

is this after final?

[radiant juniper]

no

[split plaza]

it's easy just have a good answer for "why Palantir"

[radiant juniper]

if i make it past the behavioral, it goes to the virtual onsite, and then hiring manager interviw

[radiant juniper]

did you do the behavioral?

[split plaza]

yes

[floral plank]

oh so recruiter call

[radiant juniper]

I've heard they grill you pretty hard about how much you know about Palantir and their platforms, and stuff on ur resume

[floral plank]

yea it was pretty much why palantir

nah they reject alot

after final

[radiant juniper]

ah dang

[floral plank]

most people get to final and then reject

[radiant juniper]

ok cool thx guys

[floral plank]

just did mines today so waiting to see what happens

[radiant juniper]

ah oof hope you make it to the hiring manager interview!

[floral plank]

I will see. Learning round was kinda meh.

[radiant juniper]

how long did it take to schedule your virtual onsite after your behavioral call?

[floral plank]

2 weeks

Like during call, my recruiter said they will scheulde final

and then I had it two weeks later

[radiant juniper]

ah ok cool

thx for the info guys

hope I can be like y'all and not get rejected from the behavioral lol

[ivory stratus]

idk just normal arrays lol

[floral plank]

Pretty much every company

[blissful sonnet]

Seems like nobody is hiring anymore

No new postings in ages

[split plaza]

final as in HM round?

or VO

[latent sun]

Anyone taken Scale AI Onsite? A brother needs help

[floral plank]

vo

[late kestrel]

thats it im deleting my wayup account

dumb site

[autumn ridge]

it's so bad fr lol

[late kestrel]

easily the worst emails i ever receive

somehow worse than ripplematch

[west egret]

I started being more diligent with unsubscribing from emails. It got pretty annoying when I would want to clean up my inbox and I have to go through 1-2 years of emails.

[ripe marsh]

Cuz they’re static not dynamic memory which is impractical for almost every leetcode question

[ivory stratus]

i get that but usually leetcode questions use arrays versus using lists

[ripe marsh]

Python uses arraylists essentially too

[ivory stratus]

like i get it but when you don't need dynamic memory, it doesn't make sense lol

[ripe marsh]

And C++ uses vectors

Dynamic memory is just simpler to deal with

[ivory stratus]

yeah im honestly just gonna start learning python for interviews tbh

[ripe marsh]

It’s worth

[ivory stratus]

yeah. shouldnt be hard to pick up and it's less intensive than java which im currently using

anybody watching worlds right now 👀

[west egret]

Python pretty easy to pick up imo. Syntax is diff but it's going to save you time once you get used to it.

[sonic coral]

Gl is all I’ll say

I almost had to move out

Prob the most competitive area in entire country ngl

3 of my 4 friends had to move out actually

[normal palm]

does being the most competitive area imply that you're constantly being monitored for performance? a competitive area could be a good thing for the reason that it attracts more companies

[jaunty basalt]

We don’t work for sweatshops

[hexed moth]

i thought it meant like

more people wanna work there

[normal palm]

banana

[hexed moth]

so those locations get a higher number of applicants

[sonic coral]

That’ll depend on the company, but companies who have an nyc office don’t make more stringent requirements for ny alone lol

[normal palm]

yeah

[sonic coral]

It’s just that it’s the epicenter of America and arguably the world so yeah ungodly amount of applicants

[solemn crag]

[lament summit]

W

[solemn crag]

What even is a prep call

[lament summit]

tell u what to expect the next round

[hexed moth]

^

[normal palm]

why not just send an email...?

dayum

[livid citrus]

For palantir karat, schedule redo no matter what right? I got 2/3 handily but the 3rd question i was barely able to code brute force in time

[slender apex]

wait how r yall getting multiple questions for a karat interview?

I've just been getting one and extensions on that one

[azure zephyr]

got an email from them today telling me a recruiter wants me to apply to general motors...even tho i already have an offer from them

[slender apex]

or is the 3 q's the thing they do before the coding

[azure zephyr]

like they lost their jobs and had to move?

[sonic coral]

No like they moved outta ny because they got jobs elsewhere

2 went to Texas, one went to NC

[late kestrel]

at least it was relevant 😭

i got like "store clerk" a few weeks ago

[orchid aspen]

G-man bags

[ivory stratus]

anyone else just tired of doing OAs

[hexed moth]

^

[twilit wasp]

doing OAs, getting your hopes up after doing them well, then getting ghosted and never hear back from them

[small mountain]

how was your expedia one

[ivory stratus]

haven't done it yet

hoping for the best tho lol

[twilit wasp]

anyone did palantir final?

[small mountain]

GL

[twilit wasp]

assessment day ones

[austere grove]

Does Roblox call to reject

Like phone call

[twilit wasp]

[austere grove]

Anyone

[twilit wasp]

oh

[austere grove]

Can someone pls tell me

[twilit wasp]

didn't apply for it sorry mate

[austere grove]

I’m dying of anxiety 😭

[austere grove]

Np

[twilit wasp]

they dont even have open positions in uk lol (im based in uk)

i mean, why would they bother to call only to reject you ...

how was the onsite?

[austere grove]

Rn

[hexed moth]

google called to reject me 😦

[twilit wasp]

fr?

like

what a waste

[hexed moth]

my favorite part was

my recruiter didnt even tell me in the voice mail

[twilit wasp]

i got a call from the usa for telling me i got an internship last year

[hexed moth]

she was just like hey can you call me back at your earliest convenience

[twilit wasp]

would be a bit of money for making international call to just reject..

[indigo raft]

that’s so foul 🥲

mine left it on voicemail idk why she didn’t too

[twilit wasp]

that's why i thought they dont call to reject, just an automated email

[slender apex]

my condolences homie, their lost

[thorny summit]

anybody knows what does 'written test' means --after I applied tiktok ng sde, it shows up

[hexed moth]

sounds like a written test lmfao

[ivory stratus]

bro GM really does hirevue

[slender apex]

a test... that is written

[twilit wasp]

GM?

[hexed moth]

gm hirevue fucking SUCKED

[ivory stratus]

hard or just dumb

[hexed moth]

just formatting stuff

[thorny summit]

a few days ago it shows resume screen, then today it became tf 'written test'

I wouldn't expect myself to write something like a paper lol

[twilit wasp]

gotta know how fast you can type

imagine it is timed

[indigo raft]

Is written test not oa

?

[hexed moth]

they're going to ask you to create a new tiktok dance

[twilit wasp]

what is gm tho?>

[hexed moth]

general motors

[twilit wasp]

ahhh

[hexed moth]

car company

[thorny summit]

didn't receive oa anyhow

[hexed moth]

it's probably the oa t hough @thorny summit

[twilit wasp]

time to see if they even have open positions in the uk lol

[hexed moth]

i dont think gm has offices in the uk lmao

[twilit wasp]

the uk sucks ...

[west egret]

is Chewy OA actually just all MC questions? No coding at all?

[mossy ice]

Honestly the leetcode question they ask are mad easy

[indigo raft]

Do they actually make you run the code or is pseudo ok

[twilit wasp]

how long is it?

[unreal rampart]

Could you message me @hexed moth i need some help please 😭😭

[floral plank]

yep

[split plaza]

It’s really sys-design lite, right

Because you don’t need to consider things like sharding/caching/back of envelope calculations

[hexed moth]

???

[unreal rampart]

Or can anyone who has done the new grad technical interview with publicis sapient message me

[hexed moth]

i cant even message u davinci

[unreal rampart]

PS

[unreal rampart]

I’ll add. U

It says you’re not accepting friends

[hexed moth]

i added u

[ivory stratus]

I’m 6/9

[rustic vessel]

When was final

[west egret]

manager just let me know my return offer got approved

[rustic vessel]

And I don’t think so

[west egret]

🥹

[prime palm]

LFGGGGG

Workday?

[west egret]

Yeah

[austere grove]

https://www.teamblind.com/post/Roblox---Rejection-after-on-site-ySJoDScR

they called to reject this guy

[prime palm]

W

[loud stump]

does anyone know the Palantir offer TC and breakdown?

[lament summit]

check levels

i heard its p accurate

[slender apex]

levels is accurate

yee

[twilit wasp]

not for uk salary

except amazon london

;-;

also, did anyone apply to general electric?

[loud stump]

okay gotcha around 210 then

[foggy perch]

yes

[rustic vessel]

When extra behavioral bro

[dense seal]

Is karat similar to the technical interview where they are trying to see how you think or is it more a matter of solving the problem

[loud stump]

I think more about solving the problem, one interviewer one time mentioned you don't have to talk while solving

[timber rock]

levels is crazy high for the uk lol

[timber rock]

i applied for ge power

[twilit wasp]

yeah idk who are those people lying about the total compensation ;-; hurts my feeling

[twilit wasp]

ohh when? i was looking at ge digital but they only have 12 month swe placement in edi itself ...

[timber rock]

just today

i dont really want it tho

it's in some random tiny town in england

[uncut umbra]

has sig filled up hc

just got the rejection after the phone

[twilit wasp]

yeah i saw the location, i was like...

[timber rock]

lol

its on-site too

not even hybrid

im only taking it if i literally get nothing else

[twilit wasp]

wait i actually need to google the location at this point

i dont want to move to the middle of nowhere

but it seems like they dont have proper grad scheme

[timber rock]

yeh it looks bad

you have to do a rotation in project management and other unrelated stuff

[twilit wasp]

okay, think i'll pass on that then.. sad stuff

haven't read much into ge healthcare but that sounded a bit interesting

but they dont have anything for grad

the location is actually so bad ...

[mossy ice]

anyone do jane street security analyst?

[timber rock]

it's probably the worst i've seen lol

[west egret]

About to open up a c1 power day for the server homies once I receive that offer letter

[twilit wasp]

it's not close to bristol nor birmingham, altho i heard bad things about birmingham

really just sitting in the middle of nowhere

not even close to oxford

[ivory stratus]

bruh 60 questions for expedia hackerrank wtf

[timber rock]

birmingham isnt that bad but it's definitely no edinburgh

[timber rock]

multiple choice ig?

[fossil jewel]

60 questions?

[timber rock]

the behavioural was like 40

60 is wild

[ivory stratus]

5 mp and 2 coding questions

like how tf do you expect people to do that in 60 min

[small mountain]

how were the questions?

[ivory stratus]

im about to take it

[twilit wasp]

got another perspective of edi with level 9 🔥

[hexed canopy]

how is it going?

[timber rock]

i havent been there yet

[twilit wasp]

how??

[sage sluice]

you mean 60 mins?

[timber rock]

i dunno lol i dont really go to AT that much

[twilit wasp]

i'm basically there every day it's nice ngl, no freshers, have a fridge, microwave, coffee machine

[timber rock]

i'll prob check it out tomorrow then

i actually think i went there during the open day in like 2019

[twilit wasp]

you dont even have to leave level 9 to go to the bathroom, there are bathrooms inside haha

[timber rock]

wow

very fancy

still no microwaves tho?

[twilit wasp]

there is

[timber rock]

[twilit wasp]

you need to queue to use it during peek hours (lunch)

xD

[prime palm]

What company is this

[twilit wasp]

GE

[timber rock]

tragic

[twilit wasp]

tbh, teviot has 2 microwaves

[timber rock]

my food will be cold by the time i get back to at9

:(

[faint igloo]

anybody doing the flexport finals, just wondering what is expected from the project deepdive rounds

do u need to bring up code or anything

or demos

[twilit wasp]

get the ilp drone to deliver it

[timber rock]

mine would crash and burn and probably kill someone

[twilit wasp]

[bold pier]

Should I mail by bb recruiter,? it's been 4 days since VO

[timber rock]

trust me even they wouldnt take it

it goes straight through multiple buildings

[twilit wasp]

people can apply for special circumstances then hahaha jkjk

[timber rock]

hmmm

maybe its a good idea then

[twilit wasp]

👀

[fickle bridge]

anyone knows how much is capital one new grad offer?

debating whether to even do this OA...

[timber rock]

some guy here said 142k

in sf

[azure zephyr]

welp i guess expedia isn't negotiable rip

they didnt say it was non negotiable in my call but they told somebody else it is so oh 🐳

[night magnet]

Isn’t their pipeline full?

Or are they now unfrozen

[tulip swan]

145k in mclean

[crystal delta]

they cited rotational program as the reason for non negotiable for me

idk if there are any other pipelines tho

[floral plank]

For nyc it is 136k base and 10k sign on

[autumn ridge]

is VA really expensive?

[serene fable]

Why is the pay less for nyc than mclean?

[floral plank]

McLean is

[floral plank]

No it is not

[late kestrel]

some of those counties are the most expensive in the us

bc they have the best schools in the us

[serene fable]

Going by the comment above that says the pay for mclean is 145k

[floral plank]

NYC for first year it is 136k base, 10k/15k sign on, and then 6k bonus

[serene fable]

What is it for mclean?

[ivory stratus]

expedia oa was meh

[night magnet]

127base+12k signon + 1.5 relo

[ivory stratus]

multiple choice was easy

[azure zephyr]

yeah im rotational too so i guess it applies to me as well

[ivory stratus]

passed 10/14 for second question and then i think like 4/14 on the other

[smoky lodge]

*15k signon

[ivory stratus]

second question was easier for me which was weird

hope i get final

[smoky lodge]

the offer i got for mclean was 127k base, 15k sign on, 6,6k performance (3k target), and 1.5k relocation

which 150,100 first year tc if you get the whole performance bonus and 146,500 for the target

133k for year 2

[jaunty basalt]

Every rotational program that I got into did this which is so wack, there’s only two that Ik of which don’t

[night magnet]

12k posttax right?

[jaunty basalt]

I never found a way around it, it’s a pretty hard no

[smoky lodge]

that sounds right

[night magnet]

Here’s mine

[night magnet]

Dam

Shoulda negod

Yours is 15k post tax

[smoky lodge]

yeah i didn't know it could vary

[night magnet]

Interesting

[smoky lodge]

it's also a return offer though so that might be why

[night magnet]

Ahh ya that makes sense

[winter loom]

Is C1 hybrid?

[night magnet]

Ya

[winter loom]

Gotchu

[floral plank]

yea

[buoyant fable]

any thoughts on c1 location? pros/cons for richmond, mclean, plano etc..

[late kestrel]

id have gone to mclean bc its the hq

[buoyant fable]

is there a server or chat or something for c1 tdp

[signal ore]

The Apple recruiter just sent me a weird email

[cobalt siren]

https://discord.gg/h7vGcqDu

[buoyant fable]

ty

[signal ore]

I sent a followup email to Apple after my first interview, and in their reply, they named someone I supposedly spoke with today, but I have never spoken with them. Then they asked me to send my availabilities for the second interview, how should I respond?

[ivory stratus]

How long did it take for people to hear back after Expedia hackerrank?

[signal ore]

Should I ignore the fact that I never spoke with the person they named?

What ended up happening with him?

Ok, it’s all in the same email chain though so idk how this happened

[zenith moss]

it should be 5-7 days if you go to the final

[ivory stratus]

Tc is low 100s

I think around 120-150?

[floral plank]

definitely good especially around these times

[west egret]

Just an offer is good around these times

[ivory stratus]

Mine was p hard ngl

One dp

[delicate sigil]

Hey....how difficult is expedia's OA?

today is the last day

does anyone have questions?

nope...last day for me to submit the hackerrank assessment

[ivory stratus]

It’s hard just cause of time restraints

60 min to do 5 easy mc and then 2 coding problems is kind of sucky

[delicate sigil]

ohhhh

[ivory stratus]

Easy behavioral stuff

[distant rampart]

u international by any chance?

[ivory stratus]

Yeeee

Multiple choice

Yeah took me full 60 min

The multiple choice stuff was easy

[indigo raft]

Are you Dec grad

[ivory stratus]

And I got 10/14 on one question and 5/14 on another

[indigo raft]

Expedia app was filtering out Dec 2022 grads for some reason

I reapplied w may 2023 and I got it instantly

[ivory stratus]

Waiting to hear back but I heard people with worse that got to the final so I’m hoping my odds are good

[indigo raft]

Yeahhhh it was dumb

[ivory stratus]

Thanks! I heard final isn’t too bad so I’m really hoping I can make it to the final

Only potential offer I have is $60k and I’m not taking it

[indigo raft]

I think I’m gonna start putting may 2023 bc of this lol

I couldn’t figure out how to withdraw my other app so I applied for the Jan 2022 start

but u could also just use another email

there’s another job post for Jan 2022 start

oh oops ya

ya on the drop-down stuff

Ya

u should get the behavioral thing like right after I tried it twice and I got it right after on both

[young peak]

G gets about 3 million apps a year

that's prob only for 1 recruiter that 40k

[vernal prism]

friends

could anybody help me with this LC question

bad_phrases = {'pizza', 'world war II', 'world war'}, input = 'I pizza like food' ==> True

i was wondering if there is better way than to just generate all substrings of input

maybe using a trie perhaps?

^ need to check if input contains a bad phrase

[night magnet]

Send the question number

[ebon quiver]

has anyone interviewed with wepay

[vernal prism]

its not on LC

i meant LC type

hackerrank

[teal jackal]

[ivory stratus]

why?

[teal jackal]

no oa

i did the strength assessment before yall

[ivory stratus]

[teal jackal]

i forgot

may 2023?

[ivory stratus]

oh weird

i figured oa was pretty much auto after strengths assessment

[small mountain]

same but im in the uk and other uk candidates havent got the hackerrank either

did the strengths thing on the 21st

[ebon quiver]
