wheat seal
fossil jewel
#

yeah ik some cuny students who previously (or still are ) were at twitter, amazon, google, msft, and some guy who's gonna be at slack next summer

#

its about the hustle

#

sitting in class and getting the degree alone wont get you the job/internship

thick forge
#

any thoughts on applying for grad school to ride out the hiring freezes?

wheat seal
#

a lot of ppl still think that

sonic coral
wheat seal
#

i just think companies dont know what to expect

rain patio
wheat seal
#

so they are just being passive in hiring

thick forge
#

well I would be out of grad school in like 4 years if I decide to do it, wouldnt be full time grad

sonic coral
rain patio
#

All i did durign my college was work 40 hours a week as a cashier and go to school full time

sonic coral
#

If it wasn’t for IXL tbh idk if he’d even have a job ngl

wheat seal
#

sonic coral
wheat seal
#

i think its more like 10-15%

thick forge
#

isnt IXL the math website?

elfin shuttle

sonic coral

sonic coral
#

But he’s not doing too bad, 90k in NC

thick forge
rain patio
#

...

shrewd ocean
#

#

unless u wanna do like phd or sum

sonic coral
shrewd ocean
#

and go for research or those specialized ml roles

sonic coral
#

What company is the 90k offer

thick forge
#

is masters only good for the niche areas?

rain patio
#

IXL and Fidelity in NC

#

that pay around 90k

shrewd ocean
#

thats it

thick forge
#

ah

sonic coral
rain patio
#

IXL is a cancerous company

sonic coral
#

He’s actually working on features already and says the culture is pretty chill

rain patio
#

3.8 GPA + Perfect OA + Statement on why i want to work here (spent 30 minutes writing this) still rejected

#

Without opportunity for interview

wicked rivet
#

i got the phone and they gave me a hard 🥴

rain patio
#

Dont waste my time with 90k tc

sonic coral
#

Didn’t you say you had an offer tho?

sonic coral
#

Oh lol I thought you meant those two were your offers

rain patio
#

And try to negotiate my offer

sonic coral
#

Lol so what’s your 93k offer then

rain patio
#

Fidelity

slender apex

rain patio
#

And this other company in LA

sonic coral
slender apex
#

Fidelity only paying u 90k

#

Goddamn

rain patio
#

Yes... weird. 93k in NC

#

Of course rent is cheap?

slender apex
#

Ohh nvm

#

That makes more sense

#

90k is decent for NC

#

That’s like 120k ish for west coast i think

rain patio
#

I think over 100k for Fidelity in NJ

slender apex
#

Sounds abt right

#

U can just check the average living cost i for for each state and compare it with urs

#

Generally a good measure

thick forge
#

NC is a great place to live in isnt it?

#

theyve got seasons unlike FL

slender apex
#

I mean its def a good start

#

Lmao yeah

#

Research triangle and all

thick forge
#

fck FL im tryna get out 😭

slender apex
#

It rly depends on wut ur going for in the future

#

But its a good entry place

empty thorn
#

has anyone done anyscale final?

sharp stream
#

How hard is 100k new grad with no experience

#

East coast

compact obsidian
#

like no relevant experience at all, or just no job experience?

sharp stream
#

No internships

#

I had Loom but they cancelled it a week before

compact obsidian
#

should be relatively easy if you have good research/leadership/school name/side projects

sharp stream
#

Yeah I got side projects

compact obsidian
#

but also economy sucks so also not that easy

sharp stream
#

Yay

compact obsidian
#

had a couple friends w/ no job experience get capital one last year

#

i think they're like 129k in mclean

#

but that was last year

#

this year capital one already full

cobalt siren
#

In my experience JP morgan's interview is relatively easy, and it's above 100k for nyc @sharp stream

sharp stream

#

lmaoo

twilit wasp

nocturne oriole
twilit wasp
#

for msft to stop hiring early cause more interns are accepting the return offer for full time tells me that a lot of people out there are not getting 2 offers

west egret
twilit wasp
#

ohh

jaunty basalt
#

There’s quite a few people here with multiple offers

rain patio
#

Plz i want 100k

#

Remote

#

😦

west egret
timber rock
#

i just want a job that pays money

west egret
#

Because really how many offers are substantially better than MSFT?

twilit wasp
#

idk but i feel like in the uk people are struggling more to get job and interviews

#

like never heard of people with 2 offers

jaunty basalt
#

UK dead

twilit wasp
#

for this year at least

last belfry
#

Has anyone had bloomberg vo round on campus ?

twilit wasp
#

last year i had some friends who were negotiating base salary and bonus

#

this year, everyone is just stressed cause they cant get interviews :((

timber rock
#

Yeah we have so few companies already compared to the us and now with the hiring decreasing it's just terrible

lost ether
#

Salary negotiations riskier this cycle you guys think?

twilit wasp
#

depends how much and location

#

i would give it a try if a company pays 35k for london, cause with the all the bills and rent, think that's too low for london

cobalt siren
west egret
cobalt siren
#

gotcha

west egret
#

Like an OOD and some debugging or w/e?

#

Honestly, I haven't been paying too much attention

cobalt siren
#

I think I messed up atlassian's negotiation, they said there's no risk and I should've asked for a crap ton

west egret
#

I literally had to schedule it 2 months out lmao

cobalt siren
west egret
#

You're going to Atlassian?

coarse quiver
jaunty basalt
#

I don’t think you can

#

Even return interns couldn’t apparently

#

It’s a set offer based on your location

coarse quiver
#

Even if you bring a better offer for the same location?

jaunty basalt
#

Yeah

#

Like it says in my offer you can’t I’m pretty sure

#

Even my recruiter call mentioned the same

coarse quiver
#

I understand why they have an L product

cobalt siren
jaunty basalt
#

They never asked me

#

So maybe they’re switching it up

#

Like first off they gave people a shorter interview

jaunty basalt
cobalt siren
cobalt siren
#

Idk why I got scared

#

Even tho it says you won’t be disqualified

jaunty basalt
#

Dude they never sent me that lmao

#

It was just click this link to pick a date

cobalt siren
#

Gotcha lol

#

On the flip side I can’t pick a date

#

So scheduling is taking a while

coarse quiver
cobalt siren
#

But also I says meeting market expectations so maybe there isn’t any negotiation anyways

jaunty basalt
cobalt siren
#

They just wanna know for research or something

jaunty basalt
#

Yeah

coarse quiver
jaunty basalt
#

They’re gonna be like soooooo, you asked for 2B, can’t do that but thanks for the data

cobalt siren
#

Gotta create some chaos in this world

jaunty basalt
#

Not rn bro

#

U gotta get the job first

cobalt siren
#

True lmaooo

jaunty basalt
#

Also one of their values is “open company no bullshit” so they won’t jebait you

#

Or at least they shouldn’t

You guys remember when Albertsons was listed as like 100/hr+ for intern last year lol

#

They were the top dog for a brief moment

autumn ridge
#

Is that where the Albertsons meme can from lol i had no idea

primal pike
#

tiktok oa 5 questions 2 hrs

#

wml

cobalt siren
#

Last year for some reason levels said Albertsons was the highest paying internship

#

And it was like 100/hr plus I think

sonic coral

Gg to Albertsons tho they got bought by Kroger

#

chinese companies known for this

lilac locust
#

but like what’s the market like rn

lilac locust
ivory stratus
#

I would rather take a job with $100k tc working 9-5 5 days a week than $200k tc 996

#

I value my time way more than making that much money

#

Literally no time for video games, friends, leisure activities, gf

lilac locust
#

yes

#

but like job market rn how is it

rain patio
#

Really? I would take 200k 996

sonic coral
#

But I do agree with @lilac locust if it’s your only offer you don’t really have a choice

rain patio
#

Do it for 1-2 years

#

Then move to different company

runic wind
rain patio
#

In other part time jobs yes

#

But not as a software engineer

#

So cant tell the difference

#

I wouldnt mind doing it for 1-2 years as an entry level

compact obsidian
#

i'd do 996 if they gave 250k in actual money

#

tiktok monopoly money + probably not gonna ipo soon

serene fable
uncut umbra
#

honestly, grinding for the better part of the last decade has worn me tf out

#

but also I'm a natural grinder who is totally willing and able to do 996 just to not get a return offer from amazon

serene fable
#

I'm a slacker at heart so I'd take a bit of a cut of tc for wlb in a heartbeat

uncut umbra
#

yeah but like this is 50% tc

#

relative to the other position

#

if it's 150k vs 180k or smth I'd take 955 every day of the week

#

but 100k isn't setting me up for the future as much as I would like

#

I'm just talking in general

#

I have not yet passed the oa lol

#

doordash oa and bloomberg second round is currently mia as well

serene fable
#

A big part of the question is how it looks on your resume, since it doesn't seem easy to keep the schedule up for longer than a few years

uncut umbra
#

maybe not anymore? I applied with a referral a couple of weeks ago

#

they could have filled up

serene fable
#

Also, the difference between 100k and 200k is big but it's worth noting how much more you'd actually save over annually

errant gorge
#

does anyone know what happened to it?

hasty birch
uncut umbra
#

doordash?

#

on what basis?

lilac locust
errant gorge
hasty birch
thick grail
#

does anyone know if the tiktok OA is automatic or after a resume screen?

errant gorge
#

it does make sense 😭

#

they have no ways of getting revenue

errant gorge
#

and they have to maintain compilers and stuff to run code on demand

#

shit is expensive

lilac locust
#

so is 87k base something I should just take

slender apex
#

Depends on where u r located

cobalt siren
lilac locust
#

aka remote

cobalt siren
#

I guess if it’s ur only offer you’d have to take it as well haha

slender apex
#

Umm

#

Where do u live

lilac locust
#

my parents basement

slender apex
#

Ok

#

It shud be fine

cobalt siren
#

The best deal haha

lilac locust
#

i want to negotiate but they don’t for new grads

cobalt siren
#

Just out of curiosity tho what state of region

lilac locust
#

is the big resounding message

lilac locust
cobalt siren
#

What company is this?

lilac locust
slender apex
#

General Motors?

cobalt siren
lilac locust

lilac locust
#

yeah

#

The states

slender apex
#

God damn

lilac locust
#

tbf they’re all in LCOL-MCOL

cobalt siren
# lilac locust wdym

Like since they’re remote they don’t increase salary based on where u live?

lilac locust
#

so it depends on the luck of the draw

surreal estuary
#

take the offer and hope for something better

slender apex
#

U can always renege

surreal estuary
#

lilac locust

slender apex
#

In this economy nobody is going to judge u

#

Also its nice to have a safety

lilac locust

I applied through one of their sponsored competitions

slender apex
#

Six figure paycheck sounds like a p guy recent

#

slender apex
#

I meant to say a pretty good reason

#

Yeah my b my b

lilac locust
#

Yeah money is good

#

But is the market slowing down

slender apex
#

Probably going to add palantir and Microsoft

#

I’d say def palantir maybe Microsoft

#

Apple and Netflix getting dropped probs

lilac locust
#

MSFT is too old school

slender apex
#

I can lean either way

#

Google is solidified lol

“anyone with common sense”

#

I like the implication that “Tesla community” and “anyone with common sense” are separate groups

bold pier
#

tell me solution to the lc hard after the contest, my brain gave up

bold pier
#

Cleverest solution is to realize brute force does not TLE and submit that!

hasty birch
#

Is it just me or did like 6000 people disappear from the contest leaderboard

#

Was around 23000 and is now 17000 ppl

#

Nvm, it's back to 23000

#

I too couldn't figure it out

bold pier
#

Who here has HRT offer? We got a question for you

hasty birch
#

Yeah they're pretty accurate

bold pier
#

I'm at 10k with 4 incorrect submission 🤣

#

Bruh same, I had exact same if conditions PepeHands

hasty birch
#

Recognizing that it was sliding window was the easy part tbh

#

Couldn't get the actual implementation logic

#

Q1-3 were really easy tho

last summit
#

how is this second question a medium

#

the one-line bruteforce solution works lol

hasty birch

lilac siren
night magnet
#

We should have a data collection thingy

#

Nvm that’s basically process channel

#

Actually no this is different. If we collect: apps, OAs, final, offer counts that could be useful

distant rampart
#

how do u guys find 300~700 companies.. i literally applied to every place i can find for new grad but it's like 200 ish

rain patio
#

Did u try any referral

night magnet
#

I applied to every single ng position available (~200) and some SWE1 stuff but not specifically ng (100)

lone rapids
#

For people who got tiktok phone, how many questions did u do in Oa

hasty birch
#

NG postings have completely dried up

rain patio
#

Go for entry level and level 1 roles

#

Ng posting has dried up for sure...

night magnet
#

I mean you can also hit the winter cycle but that’ll be mostly smaller companies I think

hasty birch
#

Joining a smaller company in January and applying to 2024 new grad roles w/experience on resume might be a viable move

night magnet
#

I mean it’s the only option for a lot of people

hasty birch
vital meteor
#

OW2 looks fun, been watching my fav OW streamer amouranth and i might pick it up

hasty birch
#

This server is just different lol

night magnet
hasty birch
#

Like lower than 100k?

night magnet
#

I mean that’s different for everyone

hasty birch
#

For the average person tho

night magnet
#

The average person or the avg person in this server

#

Bc those are also very diff

hasty birch
#

Former

night magnet
#

Prob like 40k in an MCOL

#

I think that’s sufficiently low where u have to hop

rain patio
#

40k wtf

hasty birch
rain patio
#

Minimum is prob 60k

#

Dont play lol

night magnet
#

Yes but the average person

#

Actually idk

rain patio
#

The average cs new grad pay is 70k

night magnet
#

Maybe ur right I really have no idea what the average person is

#

Oh ok

rain patio
#

Sounds like WITCH companies with 60k taking down the average

teal jackal
#

honestly job hop to SE2 will probably be my real redemption arc
too late for me to get somewhere amazing as a new grad

#

i think my chances at it are solidly over

teal jackal
#

nah

rain patio
#

How many applications?

hasty birch
teal jackal
#

80 or so

rain patio
#

I really doubt people apply to 700... even a small company near you needs a web developer

night magnet
#

I’m happy with my offer but I’m hopping in a year regardless

teal jackal

tbh i realized that amazon internship is a fluke for many people

my plan is to start Full time work within a rotational program for the 3-6months of my career, join a full time team for like 6 months-1 year, and job hop after that

rain patio
#

Great 🙂

teal jackal
#

around the 1.5 year mark is when ill contemplate the big jump

night magnet
#

Ya that’s like the min for SWE2

#

That’s my plan also

I might as well do the same

#

Sigh life so hard

night magnet
#

SWE2 at zon is cracked

#

I want that TC so bad

Im kind of scared to start my first job. I dont know anything lolol

Yeah but then you'd have to work at zon

#

SDE2 at amazon is pretty tuff i heard

#

they lure in with 300k-400k tc for a reason

hasty birch
#

Wonder if jumping to a quant is possible after a year even with a smaller company on resume

night magnet
#

From what I’ve heard

night magnet
hasty birch
#

Would need to jump to FAANG first

night magnet
#

I want to go to G in like 3-4 yrs then interview at quant

rain patio
#

Why does everyone like quant so much

night magnet
#

It’ll be a nice challenge to prep for quant interviews even if I don’t get it

rain patio
#

Cuz of tc?

cobalt siren

with vo consisting of 2 tech interviews and one short hr interview

lmao epic systems requires you use examity and examity extensions to take their assessments

#

that's the one that breaks all the time and has tons of privacy concerns

#

I really don't want to take it lmao

jaunty basalt
#

yeah its pretty bad

#

really wanted to take a dump during that OA

#

it was pretty long

#

thing is though, at least for the coding part they dont have a real IDE, its just a wack notepad cuz they have a grader

late kestrel
#

epics oa is by far the worst. like its not even close

uncut umbra
#

the privacy policy literally says they can collect your driver's license info and financial info with our without security code

#

absolutely fucking not

#

if the epic people reach out as they have been, I will take an assessment that isn't through this shitty service

jaunty basalt
#

they ran a background check before giving me an offer lmaocry

uncut umbra
uncut umbra
#

fuck epic systems

jaunty basalt
#

hirevue is bad but it works

#

its usually a you problem, sure they make it more tedious when they have a wack input and u spend a lot of time parsing it

#

but its a you problem

#

so yeah epics oa platform is worse

#

cant even run the code cuz its a notepad

uncut umbra

fun

jaunty basalt

though it didnt trigger me as much as this other platform, i forget the name

uncut umbra

glad I chose to dip out

i casted the output to every type that I could

honestly the best platform is hackerrank
