crazy

thanks guys

[wheat seal]

What were some of the companies?

[ivory stratus]

is expedia only in person?

[small mountain]

whats stopping someone from capping they got an offer rescinded

to get hella referrals at their doorstep

[ebon quiver]

salesforce referral, apple referral, amazon referral, some ones i hadnt heard of, nutanix referral

doordash referral

[small mountain]

wtfff

[wheat seal]

A recruiter can post and say we don’t know this candidate

[ivory stratus]

that's like me being a veteran ngl lol

[wheat seal]

Salesforce I thought wasn’t doing ng?

[small mountain]

r u a veteran

[ivory stratus]

yeeee

[wheat seal]

Like they have interns

[ebon quiver]

idk i saw a backend swe offer and applied

[ivory stratus]

auto OA for amazon and Msft

[small mountain]

yoo sick

[ivory stratus]

and some others

[wheat seal]

Oh yea, for all levels

[small mountain]

how old r u if you dont mind me asking

[ivory stratus]

27

[ebon quiver]

holy shit guys

[ivory stratus]

i was going to school for music ed before i joined the marine corps

[ebon quiver]

this address thing is life changing

[ivory stratus]

was in the marine corps as a clarinet player

[wheat seal]

Is that ur pfp?

[ivory stratus]

yeeeee

[small mountain]

career direction doing backfips

[ivory stratus]

then got out and want to make bank

[small mountain]

[ivory stratus]

so now i just go to school and surf and teach scuba diving

but might want to move back to seattle to get better job prospects

companies like to reduce pay for people in hawaii cause competition is non existent

my friend who works at google said that if he used his hawaii address, he would get a 20% base pay decrease

[dusty halo]

Anyone who applied to Amazon in late Aug - early Sept got OA?

[ebon quiver]

wait guys if i did the psuedo address thing, what would the person being the psuedo address need to know ?

[ivory stratus]

i mean you would just get mail sent there

tax documents

[ebon quiver]

wait also how would tax work

i still pay cali tax right

ok but that would still end up being mpre

cuz id get cali salary and LCOL

[ivory stratus]

yeah but taxes are insane

depends on where you're living

[ebon quiver]

yeah , but its still worth right

wait

what if the company doesnt adjust for col

[ivory stratus]

most companies do

[ebon quiver]

hm ok

but u know whats weird

[ivory stratus]

esp with covid times

[ebon quiver]

every single entry on levels

EVERY SINGLE one

is in palo alto or sf

and they told me they are remote

and these are recent entries

its so weird

[fickle bridge]

idk, I got an OA from them today

[teal jackal]

ok now i think i got resume/strength assessment rejected from expedia

[fickle bridge]

Uh okay. I wonder if they will be lower for Canada

[teal jackal]

strength assessment was crazy difficult for me

[ivory stratus]

it's funny cause behavioral stuff is super easy for me and technical stuff sucks for me

[ripe marsh]

yes

[mossy ice]

Facts

[mossy ice]

Probably gotta be PMs

[ivory stratus]

i wouldn't mind being PM honestly

they get paid just as much

[teal jackal]

level 2 autism moment

thats why i cant do behaviorals

[ivory stratus]

wait are you actually autistic

[teal jackal]

yes

level 2

[floral plank]

Probably

[teal jackal]

pretty severe but still functional to survive

[ivory stratus]

how do they not take that into account when doing behaviorals

[teal jackal]

i never asked for the accomodations

im kinda an idiot for that

[ivory stratus]

why not?

[teal jackal]

idk what id even ask for

[uncut umbra]

seatgeek codesignal expired

I want to end

[teal jackal]

why didnt u submit

[uncut umbra]

mckinsey yesterday and seatgeek today, just more examples of me being a fucking moron

[teal jackal]

ah

[uncut umbra]

I was planning on taking a new test

[teal jackal]

i relate to that tbh

[uncut umbra]

I'm usually really good about deadlines but not when they're not EOD

[teal jackal]

on the bright side, seatgeek is a fugly ass name for a company

[ebon quiver]

fax

[uncut umbra]

I'm in the process for stubhub so it's just a different name lmao

[teal jackal]

stubhub doesnt sound like dogshit at least

its like starting a AI taco service called TacoWeeb

[ivory stratus]

ah yes stubhub

not to get confused with

c*rnhub

[narrow violet]

I thought you were gonna say grub hub

[teal jackal]

mindgeek = seatgeek

this is why i hate mind games so much with interviews

its like "we are asking one thing but we actually want to hear about another thing"

[outer radish]

YO FUCK THE JOB HUNT

LIKE FR FR

[teal jackal]

so true

[ivory stratus]

it'll get better

just gotta get the first job

[teal jackal]

i genuinely hope that most companies will do a second wave of interviews

like after the gigatryhard juggernauts are done

they start reachign out to more people

[outer radish]

it literally feels like finding my first internship all over again

[night magnet]

Doubt

[outer radish]

cept HARDER

[teal jackal]

idk why it feels equally bad

[night magnet]

Everything’s frozen

It’s worse

[teal jackal]

yeah gigatryhards are gonna fill HC

we're gonna settle

[night magnet]

Bc even after u get a job ur scared of them pulling it bc recession

Or is that just me

[teal jackal]

you know tbh if a company did like 5 OAs + 1 interview, id probably survive that process

[fossil jewel]

cant be selective these days

[teal jackal]

i cant survive 5 interviews

[night magnet]

Bro

[teal jackal]

my autistic ass will eventually miss one social cue during a behavioral and get fucked over

[outer radish]

least u get severance

[night magnet]

This company Appian had a 5 hour powerday it was so aids

[fossil jewel]

5 hours damn wtf

[night magnet]

And 3.5 of the hours was them telling me about the company

Only 90 minutes were the actual interview

[teal jackal]

honestly my entire life was trial by fire

[night magnet]

Lmao

Bruh

Cmon

[teal jackal]

parents refused to let me consider the possibility of autism

i spent my whole life clueless

[night magnet]

You’re in the top 1% of human history

[teal jackal]

maybe top 33%

[night magnet]

And top 1% of the world rn

[ebon quiver]

bruh

[night magnet]

My cousins in India are working for like $10 a day

[ebon quiver]

thats insane

[ebon quiver]

when u say level 2, what do u mean ?

[teal jackal]

like id starve to death if nobody told me about life skills

[ebon quiver]

so u dont have instinct ?

lemme search up what autism is one sec

[teal jackal]

my social instinct is GODAWFUL

[ebon quiver]

u seem j fine on here

https://tenor.com/view/bh187-family-guy-peter-griffin-laugh-laughing-gif-21485227

[teal jackal]

yeah...

[ebon quiver]

no but i gotchu

low key i mighthave this

[teal jackal]

tbh id rather be good at math than be good at social skills

[ebon quiver]

are u good at mat h?

[teal jackal]

acceptable

i can get by with like logical problem solving

like leetcode

[night magnet]

Or sex slave, or field worker, etc

[teal jackal]

truth

[tardy geode]

bruh i just need a job , i feel i will have to apply to WITCH

[ivory stratus]

yeah but most of us also live in the US

[tardy geode]

😕

[night magnet]

Which is luck in itself

[tardy jetty]

whats witch

[ivory stratus]

eh

[night magnet]

Think about all the Indians on h1b grinding to get GC, spending the whole career at dog companies for that

[teal jackal]

honestly pretty grateful that as bad as the job market is now, it could be worse anywhere and that my goal in life is to do the best i can in life, not surviving

[tardy geode]

Wipro , TCS , Cognizant , Hexaware , Infosys

[dusky plover]

? have u not been keeping up the news with NATO and russia?

[ivory stratus]

that's why a ton of Indians come here

[thorn walrus]

hcl

[tardy geode]

oh

hcl

[night magnet]

I know. Indians work so hard to come here and work, but we were born here.

[dusky plover]

im worried it might be a worldwide thing soon

[nocturne oriole]

Would u delete taiwan or unite the koreas

[dusky plover]

[ivory stratus]

it's funny cause people think so highly of the USA but like

we suck

our education

sucks

womens rights

sucks

[small mountain]

damn based veteran wtf

[ivory stratus]

bro i was in the band lol

i did 4 years just so i could get paid to go to college

and come out with no loans lol

[teal jackal]

jake is a former veteran?

[small mountain]

actual

[ivory stratus]

like i get paid $4k a month just to go to school in hawaii lol

[teal jackal]

do u get to check off "i am a protected veteran" on job apps?

[crude saffron]

Capitalism is great

[nocturne oriole]

I voted biden so he could forgive my loans

[ivory stratus]

yeeeee

[small mountain]

[ivory stratus]

im not saying other countries arent bad

all im saying is the USA isn't all that it's cracked up to be

[crude saffron]

Capitalism is why we’re paid like 5x

[ivory stratus]

plenty of good stuff for immigrants compared to their home countries

like imagine having affordable education, healthcare, and housing lol

lol that's why im tryna be a SWE

[dusky plover]

capitalism wont get you a gf 👈🏻

[small mountain]

capitalism is why there's homeless

[ivory stratus]

lol look at what happened to Meta last year

they have to afford the opportunity to US citizens first

[foggy perch]

aren't european colleges more selective or smthing

[small mountain]

what no

[ivory stratus]

they tried to outsource a ton of their engineers out of country and didnt advertise job listings in US

so they got a class action law suit

[sonic coral]

Yeah my parents came from communist Poland and even NYC in the 80s back when it was basically the Wild West was like heaven compared to where they came from

[ivory stratus]

because they were trying to cheap out by paying engineers less

[ivory stratus]

yeah and now it's not

like

we can't buy houses like our parents could

can't just pay for college with a summer job

and our parents generation wants to blame us and proceed to say that we just want hand outs

[dusky plover]

yall just go 2 years at a CC and get paid to go to college

[sonic coral]

My grandma is an absolute workaholic she refuses to rest

[small mountain]

breaking news: living in the imperial core is good

[ivory stratus]

yeah and then people in other countries work to live vs living to work

like bro imagine being in Italy or France

they freaking enjoy life

not work their asses off just to make a living in the US lol

[sonic coral]

I mean not my parents at least they’re aware of the drastic cost of living increase

[foggy perch]

as in debt from your relatives, or you just have a lot of debt from college?

[ivory stratus]

you mean live to work?

[foggy perch]

how do you have debt from relatives

[ivory stratus]

working to live is basically what we'll be doing lol

[teal jackal]

isnt there a skill gap for those kinds of positions

[ivory stratus]

working 20 hours a week making good money

[teal jackal]

its like you outsource copy-paste style ful lstack dev

[foggy perch]

who's working 20 hours a week

🧐

[ivory stratus]

dude you'll make it though

[ivory stratus]

google employees lol

(overexaggeration) lol

[dusky plover]

would you guys work 120k for excellent wlb or 180k but bad wlb

[sonic coral]

Can confirm for L3 but it def ramps up for L4/5s

[ivory stratus]

just gotta work bro. you can make good money within 10 years

[ivory stratus]

true true lol

[ivory stratus]

my friend is an L3 and says he barely works 20 hours

[sonic coral]

Like my manager straight up told me many people stay at L4 because they know L5 will be a massive workload increase

[ivory stratus]

tbh i dont want to just work 20 hours a week

i hate doing nothing

[sonic coral]

To be fair it does depend on team and org

[ivory stratus]

i dont want to work a ton like amazon or meta but dont want to be doing nothing

[teal jackal]

yeah i think a lot of contractors lack the collective knowledge to like scale an app and do tech stuff that is cutting-edge rather than copy pasting full stack template code

[small mountain]

i will happily do nothing if i got paid for it

[tardy geode]

its the worst time to be an international student 😭

[teal jackal]

tough one

bat companies?

[outer radish]

Does everyone do everything on b75?

[teal jackal]

my uncle works for tencent cloud for game backend hosting

[jaunty basalt]

[ivory stratus]

depends on company but usually yeah

[teal jackal]

he makes like 80k usd there

[crude saffron]

Can’t you get away at meta with like 4-5 hours a week? Before this year ig

[dusky plover]

shut up bro

[outer radish]

aii cause some of this dp shit is new and im guessing i gotta practice more after this

[dusky plover]

answer my question

@jaunty basalt

[foggy perch]

don't companies sus on putting too much in china, since didn't part of some big chip manufacturing company get claimed by the chinese government or something

[ivory stratus]

usually dp isn't asked but this year is special lol

[teal jackal]

what watching cs youtubers does to a mf

[jaunty basalt]

[sonic coral]

Nobody’s doing 4-5 hours a week unless they get everything done on Monday and are blocked the rest of the week somehow lmao

[ivory stratus]

imagine all these tech youtubers

make bank at a faang and just do youtube

[outer radish]

what if u need more practice for like certain topics - would you say its prob better to finish b75 then come back to those?

[ivory stratus]

do neetcode 150 if you want more practice

[ivory stratus]

or just do tagged leetcode in the certain topics

[foggy perch]

[teal jackal]

wait is meta wlb bad now?

crazy

databricks im p sure cares about school prestige

[ebon quiver]

no

meta good career growth tf

[teal jackal]

i feel like databricks school rejects on the regular

which is hella cringe

[ripe marsh]

hows amazon career growth

[ebon quiver]

oh ok

[ivory stratus]

you mean their pip growth?

[ebon quiver]

[foggy perch]

[west egret]

Bigger city and no income tax

[buoyant fable]

seattle is best tech hub city imo

[ivory stratus]

minus the homeless problem lol

[foggy perch]

my goal is to live in every major us city through job hopping before I retire

[ivory stratus]

but yeah the sports scene is dope and if you like beer it's bomb

[west egret]

I mean is it worse than SF lol

[buoyant fable]

oh yeah dont remind me.. roommate got attacked by a homeless man right outside our aptment

[ivory stratus]

nah but still bad

[ivory stratus]

i used to be in the Seattle Youth Symphony and i took the ferry for dress rehearsals which were at Benaroya hall and getting off the ferry and going through that tunnel at 6pm/10pm was suuuuuuper sketch

[solemn tinsel]

damn yea that's unfortunate

[ivory stratus]

granted I'm 6'3" so i dont think anyone would mess with me

[solemn tinsel]

I've been simping for db but I can't get an interview

[ivory stratus]

that was also almost 10 years ago and i know it's gotten worse

[buoyant fable]

too bad that seattle is seamazon now

[ivory stratus]

and meta though too

that expedia campus is DOPE though

[west egret]

Doesn’t Expedia and Salesforce have offices there?

[buoyant fable]

meta has 2 buildings in seattle doesnt it

[teal jackal]

wow jake hardy the musician

[ivory stratus]

lol

i don't play clarinet anymore but want to learn guitar

[west egret]

Nvm Salesforce in Bellevue

[ivory stratus]

Bellevue > Seattle

yeah pretty much same as Seattle

[nocturne oriole]

Bellevue is more expensive now

[ivory stratus]

that's cause people don't want to live in seattle

[buoyant fable]

bellevue looks like a cleaner version of beverly hills

[nocturne oriole]

3 offices and another in Bellevue

[sonic coral]

Do it man, I learned guitar from YouTube and now I can shittily play metal riffs after like 1-2 years

[nocturne oriole]

I like fremont

[sonic coral]

But it’s def doable to learn it on your own

[buoyant fable]

best part of seattle is the hiking easy... i dont mind the 9 months of gloom for those 3 months of pnw hiking

[ivory stratus]

yeah that's what i heard. wanna grab a PRS SE custom 24

[ivory stratus]

dude and snowboarding

[sonic coral]

What genres you trying to get into

[ivory stratus]

mostly rock, blues, jazz

[teal jackal]

is this what expedia sends everyone for the strength assessment feedback

"We will be in touch again shortly regarding the outcome of your application.  "

[ivory stratus]

yeeee

[sonic coral]

Also DON’T get a guitar with floating bridge / whammy bar when you’re starting trust me

[teal jackal]

yooooo fishing gang

🐟

i love fishing

MILF

[ivory stratus]

if i move back to seattle, i would seriously just snowboard every weekend during season and then probably hike in the off season

[teal jackal]

man i love fishing

[ivory stratus]

and get more into cars

we dont have a track here so it sucks

[teal jackal]

are u planning on staying with family?

[ivory stratus]

me?

[sonic coral]

Honestly for those genres you can’t go wrong with a strat or tele

[teal jackal]

or are u gonna live on ur own if u move back to seatte

yeah u

[sonic coral]

But prs is def nice

But seriously trust me don’t get a whammy bar

At least for your first

[ivory stratus]

idk. my gfs family has a house on lake union

[teal jackal]

Holy crap

thats wild

[ivory stratus]

my mom lives in hawaii now so we would probs live with her fam

[ivory stratus]

they built it way before fb and amazon were big though

like it's a huge house but way more affordable before the big zon and fb boom

[sonic coral]

Back when bill gates was still starting a small lil computer company in his garage

[ivory stratus]

lol with my gfs uncle

that's sick

[outer radish]

ur rich family friend taking applications?

[buoyant fable]

should i choose mclean or plano for c1.... help i need to tell my recruiter tomorrow

[ivory stratus]

bruuuuuh i love the hawks

so funny to watch russ get shat on with the broncos

[teal jackal]

the first place i ever grew up in was Cormano in Italy, just outside of milan

[ivory stratus]

so happy to see the mariners in the playoffs though

[teal jackal]

is seattle proud of their sports

[ivory stratus]

dude Seattle is crazy for their sports

[teal jackal]

i know that i saw a lot of seahawks and mariners pride there

[ivory stratus]

the seahawks literally have the loudest fanbase in the NFL lol

we used to have one lmao

[teal jackal]

as a new englander i thought that was the patriots lol

[ivory stratus]

they weren't bad either

im just glad we finally got a hockey team

[teal jackal]

damn seattle's nba team defected to oklahoma city

that sucks for yall

[ivory stratus]

yuuuuuup

[shrewd ivy]

gonna do my bloomberg technical interview tomorrow, kinda excited

[sonic coral]

I was gonna say aren’t Philly fans wild

[ivory stratus]

i don't really think that a lot of people ever cared about the sonics though tbf

like all the hype was for the mariners

then once the seahawks started getting good people cared a lot more

[teal jackal]

celtics is mid

not bad but not standout

[ivory stratus]

like once hasslebeck came on, everybody was super gung ho for the hawks

i mean the hawks aren't great but people are still proud af

all over downtown you usally have 12 flags and blue and green everywhere

i miss having pro sports teams lol

we got nothing out here

[teal jackal]

where are u now

[ivory stratus]

Hawaii

[teal jackal]

damn

[ivory stratus]

we got pro surfing which is pretty dope

[teal jackal]

im from boston all my life

we have like all the sports

[ivory stratus]

yeah no joke lol

good teams too

[teal jackal]

Tbh I've also realized that I like going home on weekends to visit family is because I'm really bad at managing groceries and taking care of my nutrition.

Like while I'm on campus, it's gonna be miscellaneous takeout every day.

I always forget to eat my fruits and they all rot and go bad

[hexed moth]

[floral plank]

Same

I am glad to be graduating soon

Tired of college

[teal jackal]

i honestly dont want to be here anymore

in college

[floral plank]

Same

I am glad to be done with university recruiting

[teal jackal]

wait what offer did u accept again

congrats btw

[floral plank]

I mean I am saying I am glad this is the last time I have to recruit for a job during college

[teal jackal]

ah

[floral plank]

University recruiting is kinda annoying with the whole renege and college going on

[teal jackal]

tbh im stressed about job hopping in the future, that terrifies the shit out of me
ill have to start over and learn common strategies and conventions all over again

[haughty palm]

anyone know if netflix needs us to compile the code? I am kind of rusty and was hoping to write out pseudo code if possible

[floral plank]

Yea that is why I wanna try to get a Big N before graduating so I can relax for some time but this season is …

[teal jackal]

honestly i see no satisfaction in the process

i just care about the end

[weak latch]

https://tenor.com/view/gimme-my-dishes-give-me-my-dishes-dishes-fisheye-gif-20991774

[uneven fulcrum]

Does Bloomberg ask system design in the second round (the one after phone round)?

[teal jackal]

ive decided upon a nutrition plan
im gonna buy pre cut veggies and salad boxes
and im also gonna buy frozen fruits to munch on as a snack
frozen fruits to get those fruit vitamins in
the problem with proper nutrition is that it takes up to 2 hours to set up, cook, eat, and clean up after a balanced meal

[bold pier]

I do meal prep instead, it takes 1-2 hour to cook dinner for 4-5 days!
Other times I eat fruits, whole wheat breads, eggs, oats, muesli, organic cereals, pancakes, etc none of which take more than few minutes to prepare.

[teal jackal]

problem with meal prep is that it doesnt taste good after 2 days

[bold pier]

Indian food does lol

[teal jackal]

yeah chinese food doesnt last very long

besides i dont even like chinese food

i cook generic american style

[bold pier]

No, just lc and behavioral

[uneven fulcrum]

Ohk, thanks!

[delicate sigil]

If possible can someone share the MCQs…..asked in expedia

[echo finch]

mods hes trying to cheat

[delicate sigil]

😂😂

[night portal]

is it possible to negotiate your amazon

[shell dome]

how well respected is palantir resume-wise

[shrewd ocean]

very

[shell dome]

what companies would be higher?

[shrewd ocean]

pretty sure its faang level

so prob like hfts

[shell dome]

fuck me

[wheat seal]

Google is definitely more impressive on the resume

[lunar hatch]

Would it be worthwhile to renege bb/dd for 2sigma

[shrewd ocean]

yes imo

[autumn ridge]

I would

[wheat seal]

But Palantir is extremely good though

[uneven fulcrum]

I got a call from Bloomberg, they are expediting my interview process, after phone round, she said I'll have 1hr interview instead of the usual 2hr, so is this VO or HM round?

[shrewd ocean]

its VO

wait so ur not doing 2 separate 1 hr interviews ?

[autumn ridge]

It's VO and you have to pass first interview to get the second

I had the exact same situation and that's how it went for me

[shrewd ocean]

ahh makes sense

[autumn ridge]

They will schedule it right away though if you pass

[shrewd ocean]

how long after first did u know u passed

[autumn ridge]

I heard back same day

[cedar gulch]

^ same

[autumn ridge]

And the second interview was scheduled for the next day

So it's fast

[shrewd ocean]

oh nice

[uneven fulcrum]

The second interview being another VO?

[shrewd ocean]

i have my first tom

[autumn ridge]

Yeah

[slim agate]

How much time does it take to hear back after phone?

[uneven fulcrum]

The situation I am in is, she said I can either interview tomorrow or in December (that's when the next available slot is)

[autumn ridge]

They no showed my phone twice so I got to skip it

[shrewd ocean]

holy shit

bb backed tf up

[autumn ridge]

Would prolly recommend doing it tomorrow alot can change in a couple of months

[shell dome]

thoughts on palantir full time vs citsec intern?

[autumn ridge]

Is that citadel but a security position?

[uneven fulcrum]

Exactly, so I said yes. But she only said 1hr interview with no indication of another interview on the same day like in your case

[shell dome]

its the market making part of citadel

[autumn ridge]

They didn't tell me either when I first scheduled the call

I had to reach out to ask and that's when it was confirmed

[autumn ridge]

Can you push palantir start date to after the end of the internship?

[shrewd ocean]

dam 2 interviews for VO lowkey stressful

[next kelp]

Lol expedia said I'll hear back this week but they still have not said anything, so guess they making sure to make it suspenseful

[shell dome]

they offer up to october so i think i could

[wheat seal]

Fr?

[autumn ridge]

Say you want to backpack latin america or something lol

[shrewd ocean]

imagine u do good on first then get dp hard in second

[autumn ridge]

Do that then. If you crush it you can leave palantir whenever but you still have it in case you don't get the return

[wheat seal]

U just got Palantir, bloomberg and snap?

[weary flax]

did you use a referral?

[autumn ridge]

No I have my onsite with palantir tomorrow and haven't heard back from Snap yet

I got BB, Wells Fargo and ATT lol not quite as impressive

[wheat seal]

AT&T is fine

[shell dome]

if i go citsec i kinda wanna stay in school another year and party like a frat boy

[floral plank]

Good luck

Had mines today

[next kelp]

I did not, my friends all used referrals and didnt get past the strength finders

so idk if it was better i didnt

[weary flax]

oh what

okay

[wheat seal]

Why’d u interview with AT&T with bbg tho?

Or Wells Fargo?

[autumn ridge]

I finished my final with ATT before I got BB

[wheat seal]

Oh okay

[autumn ridge]

Same with wells fargo

I was honestly panicking it's rough out here this recruitment cycle so I applied and took interviews basically anywhere that paid at least 70-80k

[wheat seal]

Which is kinda crazy. Most ng don’t even get that from other industries

[shell dome]

yea probably me

[wheat seal]

I can’t imagine how English majors would be feeling or comm

[shell dome]

idt any one else in my situation lol

[wheat seal]

Or comm

[shrewd ocean]

dam if an ex snap intern has to do this its actually rough

[shell dome]

what r ur thoughts? @rain patio

[wheat seal]

U guys like cali?

I could never live in cali

NY/seAttle much better

doesn’t sf have way more crime and homeless rates than ny/Seattle

[sonic coral]

You can live in south Brooklyn and have amazing Asian food

[shell dome]

if only roblox didnt rejec me

[sonic coral]

And it won’t be high rises or as crowded

[wheat seal]

Seattle is like a college campus. Only downtown/belltown has high buildings - everywhere else nah

[sonic coral]

do you not have 4 seasons where you come from

[shell dome]

whats ur friend leaning towards rn

[sonic coral]

Fair enough I personally would feel weird not having 4 seasons

[shell dome]

i feel like if i dont try out hft now i never will

[sonic coral]

And yeah flushing also is another great option, lil more crowded but amazing Asian food

[shell dome]

oh yea i dont have visa issue

[sonic coral]

Bruh you can’t say flushing is a suburb

It’s literally like the biggest chinatown in ny

A big suburb is Staten Island or eastern queens like forest hills / LI

Flushing is too dense

[wheat seal]

Databricks gives visa already. Why would he do that?

[sonic coral]

They’re so drastically different ways of life tho

Like you can’t say one is more overrated than the other

It’s literally for different types of people imo

Likewise maybe im biased because I spent my whole life in NY lol

But yeah it’s subjective for sure

Everyone has their prefs

Yeah like it really is dependent on the person

I spent a summer in Seattle and def didn’t wanna move there

East NY is prob the tenderloin of NYC

[vestal pelican]

South bay > SF

[wheat seal]

Seattle feels depressing like Naruto hidden rain village or some shit lol (at least some days)

[sonic coral]

Bruh Brooklyn is huge and ranges from bougie to hood to everything in between

[vestal pelican]

i thought there were many

[bright mountain]

nyc > sf

[sonic coral]

Iirc Brooklyn if it was it’s own city would be like fifth largest city in the country or something

[vestal pelican]

i woudve taken db lowkey

[bright mountain]

i met a lot of ppl who interned in both nyc and sf and they all seemed to prefer nyc over the bay

[shell dome]

all my friends who interned in nyc said nyc is fun for intern but prefer bay for full time

[nocturne oriole]

dis sounds like a toxic relationship

[sonic coral]

It all depends on what you’re into really like i said

It’s super subjective

[uncut umbra]

is crowdstrike filled

[vestal pelican]

SF is way different from Palo alto, MTV, San jose tho

[uncut umbra]

wondering if it's worth to reapply

[sonic coral]

Honestly any big city is gonna be a blast as an intern

[wheat seal]

(But no it isn’t, didn’t they just release apps?

[vestal pelican]

i feel like everyone just groups all bay area cities into SF

[sonic coral]

That sounds like some transplant culture shit

[bright mountain]

bay area is for when u have family tbh

nyc for when ur new grad

ur meeting ppl that aren't just in tech

[vestal pelican]

move to near Chicago

[sonic coral]

Yeah like there’s a huge culture of transplants who treat nyc as this party playground and leave after a few years

[wheat seal]

Didn’t someone in this server get 300k last yr

[vestal pelican]

why

[autumn ridge]

eh not that much higher and it's public so layoffs possible and you have exposure to stock going down

[nocturne oriole]

@tawdry skiff you are literally like 2 comments from being banned

i like u but u cant be this sus here

[vestal pelican]

still better than other parts of midwest cuz its near a body of water

[ivory stratus]

i thought palantir was more

[autumn ridge]

Yeah that's higher than what I saw on levels when I looked like 2 weeks ago but I just checked again and your right. It's a good chunk higher

[uncut umbra]

god imagine having a job

[autumn ridge]

Also very cash heavy relative to some other companies

Like Snap is 60% cash 40% stock almost

[nocturne oriole]

every nuke is a perf bonus

best time to buy and sell nukes

number of nukes

[sonic coral]

Ok nicholas cage

[nocturne oriole]

the nukes will hurt people
but their software will be performant

and the code will be clean

[sonic coral]

as someone who’s mildly worried of nuclear war will this sub ease my worries

[nocturne oriole]

will your conscience be clean tho

have u considered embracing ethics in your lives

you money hungry

gremlins

[sonic coral]

Damn meta really doing a number on you kirb

You alright

[nocturne oriole]

no bro i am literally on the verge of doing some crazy shit as mod that makes me go down as a legend then i will disappear forever

and u will never hear from me again as i work in mexico making 400k

You sound like you’re on the verge of a mental collapse rn

[nocturne oriole]

[indigo canopy]

Is code design for atlassian actual system design (diagrams, databases, actual architecture) or is it object oriented design?

[ivory stratus]

middle of earth is a core of hot iron

[next kelp]

yes

[last summit]

I was gonna say you just got the worst case scenario response

[ivory stratus]

i didnt apply with referral

[indigo canopy]

I tried emailing my palantir recruiter and I got an auto reply saying she’s on maternity leave until March 🫣

[next kelp]

I didn't either

its weird bc like 4 of my friends applied w referral and all got ghosted

[ivory stratus]

weird

[next kelp]

but my recruiter is OOO until the end of this week

[ivory stratus]

yeah i didnt use referral just cold applied

[next kelp]

so i wont hear back anyway

[ivory stratus]

hoping i get a final

[next kelp]

which sucks bc i have other company deadline lmao

[ivory stratus]

howd you do on oa?

[next kelp]

passed first like half on second iirc

[ivory stratus]

daaaaang

i got 10/14 on first and i think like. 6/14 on second

[nocturne oriole]

this was sonic in the first sonic movie trailer

before they fixed him up

tbh i see all of u as sonic v1

ugly but potential

[ivory stratus]

the feeling is mutual

[teal jackal]

so true

im hideous af

[dusky plover]

omfgggg ❤️

[crude saffron]

Hrt asked me a lc hard

I was drunk

I did not finish coding it up

Uh idek if it was lc hard tbh, it was just some dp q

[weary flax]

not sure

i was just curious

[crude saffron]

Given a string of True, False and logical expressions And Or in between each t or f,
how many ways to parenthesize such that it evaluates to true, and print all valid parenthesizations

The interviewer wouldn’t just let me explain how I’d code it up smh

Annoying asf to code up

No

This was for algo dev

2nd phone

[nocturne oriole]

it is but damn tho

i cant even conceive lol

[crude saffron]

Idk what that is

[sonic coral]

Ye that’s def backtracking

[nocturne oriole]

it's DFS where, rather than be exhaustive, you track the state as you go
look at the state
and if it's invalid state, turn back

tree pruning

it's like legend of zelda dungeon exploring

[crude saffron]

I just remember doing something similar for a compilers class

[sonic coral]

There’s a template you can follow for BT

[last summit]

lol my q was so much easier than this

that sucks

[crude saffron]

I wanted to troll them

I wasn’t planning on taking it

[last summit]

that might actually be it lmao

[crude saffron]

Yes

That’s how u do it

You have like 4 diff cases or w/e

T | F, F | T, T | T, T&T

No

[rich crown]

u must have some next-level competing offers wtf

[crude saffron]

Not rly

[rich crown]

don't they pay 300k for new grads?

[crude saffron]

I’m not a swe fyi

Double that

[rich crown]

hrt

[crude saffron]

[peak ferry]

can we play the game where we don’t talk about depressing numbers thanks

[crude saffron]

Yes hrt is good

[nocturne oriole]

https://leetcode.com/problems/happy-number/

[crude saffron]

Im not good at qr (not smart)

I just want to press buttons and make money

[peak ferry]

yes I’m going to my happy place building ikea furniture

[nocturne oriole]

just like my ex fr fr

[crude saffron]

I do

I’ve been on vacation for the past month

[dusky plover]

brute force back tracking, keep track of left and right and keep the position of the last '(' brace within the cur_string so you can evaluate the expression

[teal jackal]

yeah same tbh

imposter syndrome feels unreal

i get that its great that cs majors already make a decent living on average

but man

i think we all want more in life

[ivory stratus]

dude all i care about is being able to support myself and my family

stuff is cool dont get me wrong

as long as i feel like im making some kind of impact and being ethical

[teal jackal]

i want a car

[ivory stratus]

lol i want a few

[crude saffron]

I want a boat

[ivory stratus]

model 3, modely y, and a porsche 718 gts

[ivory stratus]

boats are so much upkeep though

[crude saffron]

That’s what Tc is for

[ivory stratus]

lol true

i want a nice office setup too

[peak ferry]

man I don’t want any of that I want tc for the dumb reason which is that I’m recognized by society as being valuable

[ivory stratus]

oh i dont care about that lol

are you from east coast?

[peak ferry]

nah west coast

In Chicago now

[ivory stratus]

oh interesting

east coast seems to care a lot more about what society thinks about them so theyre more flashy with their money

west coast isnt as much like that i feel like

[peak ferry]

Oh I’m not about being flashy

I just want big number

[ivory stratus]

i just want to be able to afford most anything i want

[peak ferry]

more TC makes close to no material impact on my life

[ivory stratus]

oh so you tryna be like that amex black card gang

[peak ferry]

Nope I just want the number for myself lol

[ivory stratus]

lol fair

[peak ferry]

It’s pretty illogical I’m not a big spender or anything

[ivory stratus]

im actually not a big spender either

i just want some nice things

within means

[teal jackal]

that too

i also have a personal vendetta against myself

[peak ferry]

I’d be slightly looser with money but for the most part I can already asked what I want

[teal jackal]

im tired of always lagging behind my peers(i know that im ahead of the national average by a long shot, but my peers are all super high achievers, i know i have the brains to do what they do, i just fail to make the right decisions like them)

this is a personal goal for me

i dont want to lag behind ever again

i wanna close the gap once and for all

i spent 90% of my life being absolutely clueless and directionless

i never want to do that again

[ivory stratus]

i just wanna do better than my mom, not in a spiteful way but she just wanted better for her kids than she had and i want the same

[calm blade]

Is it too late to apply to Expedia New Grad

[teal jackal]

i want to prove that i can have what my peers have in life

[calm blade]

or do they still have head count to fill

Seeing the comp and WLB

[ivory stratus]

i applied last night and got strengths assessment and i got hackerrank today

[peak ferry]

I’m in line with my medium high achieving peers I’m mostly pretty happy I just see people doing better and the dumb monkey part of my brain goes ooga booga jealousy

[calm blade]

makes me want to see how faer I can get

[ivory stratus]

comp isnt great but wlb i heard is great

[teal jackal]

i want to do my best

for that reason

[calm blade]

I got to the Final Round of Amazon

so maybe I can get lucky with this lol

[teal jackal]

its like im tired of not being part of what my peers are in

[ivory stratus]

im waiting to see how i did with amazon

[calm blade]

got unlucky though lmfao

[teal jackal]

my entire life has been wasted potential

[ivory stratus]

but i did dog shit on the oa so i probably get reject lol

[teal jackal]

im done with that

[peak ferry]

nah like life dealt it’s hand and I’m happy. frankly I’d derive more happiness by not reading this chat ever

[calm blade]

got a leetcode hard for bar raiser

[teal jackal]

F

[calm blade]

aye congrats

[teal jackal]

how is your turnaround THAT quick?

holy crap

congrats tho

[ivory stratus]

i heard after strengths based, you get oa pretty quick

[teal jackal]

i heard that expedia turnaround is RNG anyways

[calm blade]

do they automatically send OA

[peak ferry]

ok bye I’m gonna build my furniture y’all actually are applying I’m done

[calm blade]

or your resume needs screening

lool

[ivory stratus]

yeah idk man lol

i literally took it at like

8 or 9 last night

and got the hackerrank at 3 am

granted it's hawaii standard time

so 6am pst 9am est

[teal jackal]

u probably knocked the strength assessment out the park

[ivory stratus]

lol hopefully that helps cause i didnt do great on oa

[calm blade]

you out here in Hawaii

[ivory stratus]

yeeeee

[calm blade]

man living the life

looool

[ivory stratus]

noooooo

[teal jackal]

i honestly hate the concept of soft skills

[ivory stratus]

it is great

[calm blade]

Dream destination

[ivory stratus]

but the job market is crap

[calm blade]

lool

your SWE

[ivory stratus]

and if i got a remote job out here i get base pay reduced

[calm blade]

remote FTW

[ivory stratus]

because the competition is non existent here

[calm blade]

ah i see

[ivory stratus]

yeeee

but im tryna get remote

was hoping for msft lmao

got to final

canceled

[calm blade]

do two remote jobs

that way you can offset it lool

[ivory stratus]

was remote too and would still be able to hit 150k+ total comp with reduction

i wouldn't mind expedia though. i think its around 120k tc in seattle

not great but gfs fam is there and im from there

hopefully 10/14 and 5/14 on oa will put me in final

[shrewd ocean]

think its 140

[ivory stratus]

oh dang

[ivory stratus]

not bad for new grad

[calm blade]

what's a good new grad base salary loool

[shrewd ocean]

120+

[ivory stratus]

i woulud say 90k+

[calm blade]

feel grateful if I get 100k

[ivory stratus]

depending on COL

[calm blade]

lool

[ivory stratus]

i dont wanna go lower than 80k

[calm blade]

lool mee too

[ivory stratus]

only have one pretty likely offer that is 60k and no way im taking it

wanna hit 100k starting out at least

[calm blade]

damn 120k+ thats puts you at the top 1% for new grads I am sure

[ivory stratus]

nah not even close

1% is 200k+

[calm blade]

base?

[shrewd ocean]

nah thats nowhere near 1%

even base

[ivory stratus]

oh yeah still

i would say like

150/60+ would be probably top 1%

[calm blade]

who the fuck is paying 22 or 23 year old 200k base

[shrewd ocean]

hfts

[calm blade]

cuz damn

ah make sense

[ivory stratus]

if you want to hate yourself and your wlb then yeah

[calm blade]

but they work like 60 to 80 hours

no deal for me

[ivory stratus]

i value my time more than i value money

ill get there eventually

[calm blade]

I have things I want to do lool

[fossil jewel]

gotta give up your life and happiness to grind for those

[shrewd ocean]

heard its not as bad as investment banking

[ivory stratus]

but no use in giving up all that time when im young

[shrewd ocean]

why is that

[calm blade]

Netflix is the .1 percent

loool

not 1%

[fossil jewel]

enjoy your youth

[shrewd ocean]

oh ye netflix can pay all cash

[ivory stratus]

so is wlb

[calm blade]

it has everything you would want in a company

dream company

[ivory stratus]

too bad their stock is shit now

[calm blade]

plus you can have your whole TC in cash

[fossil jewel]

doesn’t netflix have some sort of toxic culture regarding pip?

[ivory stratus]

IMAGINE getting paid 200k+ rsu over 4 years as a new grad last year/2020

[calm blade]

yeah but worth it

[shrewd ocean]

naw u can have ur whole tc as cash

[calm blade]

just tough it out for a few years

and you set

[ivory stratus]

that's my thoughts if i ever went to amazon or netflix lol

woulud only stay for a year or two

get resume prestige

[teal jackal]

damn netflix is basically amazon lol

that sucks

[calm blade]

then go to Google

and rest and vest

[ivory stratus]

then jump for 250k+ tc at another company with good wlb

[calm blade]

you gotta have a plan

[ivory stratus]

or msft

[calm blade]

know what I am saying loool

[ivory stratus]

easy peasy

both super good wlb and basically retirment companies lol

[teal jackal]

Google is so nice

[ivory stratus]

i would work at goog 10/10

i wanna be a noogler

[teal jackal]

Honestly Expedia quit playing

Just rj me already tbh

Get it over with...

[ivory stratus]

that's how i felt about msft when everyone else was getting rejections/interview cancelations

finally emailed my recruiter and was like "yoooo so my interview is getting canceled isnt it"

10 minutes later got the email

[calm blade]

Whats the next Google/Meta

in the next 10 years

[ivory stratus]

renewable energy

[calm blade]

wish I could predict the future

[ivory stratus]

web3

idk bro

[calm blade]

Alchemy web3 company looking nice lool

[teal jackal]

Web3 is a meme rn

[ivory stratus]

i think MAANG is gonna stay for the next 20+ years

[calm blade]

it is

[ivory stratus]

netflix might drop out but every other company is staying

meta is constantly pushing AI and VR pretty hard

[calm blade]

but i feel like after it gets through the phase that web2 had you will be seeing some heavy hitters

[ivory stratus]

oh for sure

web3 is gonna be like the wild wild west

[calm blade]

lol web2 had the dotcom bust

killed a bunch of companies

[ivory stratus]

yuuuuuup

[calm blade]

all that was left were the heavy hitters

[ivory stratus]

remember when IBM, Msft, all those other companies were basically monopolizing the industry

then dotcom bust happened

[calm blade]

100

[ivory stratus]

spawned fb, amazon, google

same thing will probs happen with web3

[calm blade]

wonder who that will be next 10 to 20 years

[ivory stratus]

yeah idk

[calm blade]

lol

[ivory stratus]

i think web3 will have to be widely implemented and supported first

do they freaking hate maple syrup and hockey or something?

you mean

pledge your allegiance to the CCP or go to a concentration camp

[wheat seal]

expedia is risky anyways

[ivory stratus]

i think they were risky during the pandemic

[ivory stratus]

i dont think they are really anymore

the fact that they own hotels.com, vrbo, etc is pretty big

they arent gonna be great or anything but still

[wheat seal]

true actually

[wheat seal]

but thats all luxury

[ivory stratus]

they're like the apple of the travel industry though

[wheat seal]

flights tho alwayas seem packed

yea they are market leaders

[ivory stratus]

they hold a decent monopoly

[wheat seal]

so they will be fine

market leaders (that arent 100% luxury brand) are doing fine in every market

like i consider uber to be luxury

while flights, not really

[fossil jewel]

lyft never even opened their FT swe right?

[wheat seal]

nope

and i think they laid off recvently too

[fossil jewel]

only apm

[wheat seal]

or actually no layoffs recently for lyft

but its obv going to happen

especially after new bill

to make riders FT

[fossil jewel]

honestly the things that seem most recession proof might be banks and some financial services like bbg, and market leaders as you said

[wheat seal]

yea like netflix is chilling

but tbh idk if bill will pass for uber/lyft/DD

[fossil jewel]

oh yeah their stock is better it seems

[wheat seal]

i think stock is deceiving tho, better to look at growth like gross profit + sales growth

everyone is bearish now

so EPS is kinda pointless to look at

and same with stock price

[fossil jewel]

tho ngl netflix super dry lately with content lol

[wheat seal]

look at any company that did layoffs (if not a reorg)

and ull see that it was due to poor sales growth or not having good gross profit

[fossil jewel]

ye that's a more robust sign since stocks are unpredictable

[peak ferry]

G froze and is printing money as always

Not layoffs tho

Isn’t that just stack ranking or whatever

[wheat seal]

i.e. coinbase https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/coin/financials/income/quarter

[peak ferry]

Amazon didn’t officially do layoffs but pipping the same and hiring less is effectively that
