Oh legit? lol
Sumo logic, Splunk, datadog
atm tho havent half the faangs stopped hiring?
oh yeah, i mean prior
Tbh prob like 200
meta down, twitter idk, microsoft cut on new grads, google is fine i think?
well twitter doesnt even count lol
amazon is fine i think*
Twitter was chilling but it’s cuz of reorg
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
Yeah this is true
any thoughts on applying for grad school to ride out the hiring freezes?
i used to think that
a lot of ppl still think that
The thing is the recession might last longer than 1 year
id say 2-3yrs tbh
i just think companies dont know what to expect
I wish i had this information sooner
so they are just being passive in hiring
well I would be out of grad school in like 4 years if I decide to do it, wouldnt be full time grad
I had to literally push my friend to apply everywhere and grind the bare minimum of LC
All i did durign my college was work 40 hours a week as a cashier and go to school full time
thats what i try to do to help my friend too
I wish i spent that time studying and making projects
but he doesnt even want to relocate
well you had to make money, so dont be too harsh on yourself
My guy started applying a month after graduating
If it wasn’t for IXL tbh idk if he’d even have a job ngl
yea thats what 80% of cs majors do
thats why i cant believe 30% make 100k+
Ah yeah I had to instill the severity of the situation for him because this dude wanted to stay in Brooklyn at first too
i think its more like 10-15%
isnt IXL the math website?
what would you consider bare minimum lc
again, you got an offer for 93k no? you can always move on up
I was like “bruh you aren’t at liberty to make that kinda choice rn”
And had to push him to apply everywhere
Well he basically grinded for like maybe a month and just focused on basic patterns and stuff
Important topics of b75
gotcha
300 lc minimun
would be full time, part time masters
Yeah like he also barely did lc during that month too like maybe 50 total or something
then whats the point of doing masters
thats where opinions come in lol
Yep lol
how much value does grad bring to the table
But he’s not doing too bad, 90k in NC
id love to move to NC 😩
Yea i did but... when i see other friends make 150k my eyes go wild
...
if u alr have full time theres basically no point
unless u wanna do like phd or sum
Comparison is the thief of joy man
and go for research or those specialized ml roles
What company is the 90k offer
is masters only good for the niche areas?
its literally there for niche areas or to break into industry
thats it
ah
Honestly IXL is a solid place to start from what my friend is telling me
IXL is a cancerous company
He’s actually working on features already and says the culture is pretty chill
3.8 GPA + Perfect OA + Statement on why i want to work here (spent 30 minutes writing this) still rejected
Without opportunity for interview
i got the phone and they gave me a hard 🥴
Dont waste my time with 90k tc
Didn’t you say you had an offer tho?
They are not faang lmao
lol i rmr doing ixl in like 3rd grade
Not from IXL
quick maths!
I was doing it as a practice i guess
Oh lol I thought you meant those two were your offers
And try to negotiate my offer
Nope XD
Lol so what’s your 93k offer then
Fidelity
What location is it
And this other company in LA
Also a solid place to start tbh
Ohh nvm
That makes more sense
90k is decent for NC
That’s like 120k ish for west coast i think
I think over 100k for Fidelity in NJ
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
fck FL im tryna get out 😭
has anyone done anyscale final?
like no relevant experience at all, or just no job experience?
should be relatively easy if you have good research/leadership/school name/side projects
Yeah I got side projects
but also economy sucks so also not that easy
Yay
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
In my experience JP morgan's interview is relatively easy, and it's above 100k for nyc @sharp stream
I passed the code signal and recruiter ghosted me for 4 weeks then said I was no longer able to schedule my power day
I’ll have to apply
even back in like late aug, powerdays are scheduled out to oct
lmaoo
this year too
if youre lucky
if you get a powerday scheduled, you basically get it
ya
no lc on final
and u only need like a 700 gca
my pday is bordering ddecember lmao
im scared about them cancelling it
december wow
C1 had lc for me and a bunch of other people
Also more spots will definitely open up for those who decline return offer, the deadline is October 28th
Dang maybe I should apply
anyone familiar with what this code would do in python?
C1 still not got back to me after my video interview 🙃
the int() part
Converts the boolean expression into 0 or 1
should cast the boolean into an int
For false and true respectively
Do it. I’ll reject powerday for you.
Np
If their app ever opened up again anyways
lol is this for string compression II
I thought you interned at c1?
Did you mean last year?
i wonder how many people have 2 offers rn
@pulsar mural
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
I’m at 1/2 an offer. Manager emailed me saying it was approved but didn’t receive offer letter yet.
ohh
There’s quite a few people here with multiple offers
Also because it’s so stressful in this market that it’s diminishing returns.
Because really how many offers are substantially better than MSFT?
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
UK 
for this year at least
Has anyone had bloomberg vo round on campus ?
last year i had some friends who were negotiating base salary and bonus
this year, everyone is just stressed cause they cant get interviews :((
Yeah we have so few companies already compared to the us and now with the hiring decreasing it's just terrible
Salary negotiations riskier this cycle you guys think?
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
yeah last year, did this year have no lc?
That's what I've been hearing
gotcha
Like an OOD and some debugging or w/e?
Honestly, I haven't been paying too much attention
I think I messed up atlassian's negotiation, they said there's no risk and I should've asked for a crap ton
I literally had to schedule it 2 months out lmao
ah ok i had both ood and then an lc question w follow ups
You're going to Atlassian?
Don’t know yet but they ask you for salary expectation before final round and then no negotiation after I think
That's weird that they want you to negotiate before an offer is even offered.
@elder locust @rain patio
I couldn’t negotiate
I don’t think you can
Even return interns couldn’t apparently
It’s a set offer based on your location
Even if you bring a better offer for the same location?
Yeah
Like it says in my offer you can’t I’m pretty sure
Even my recruiter call mentioned the same
Interesting, wonder why they ask for salary expectations but also say that no amount will disqualify you from consideration
They never asked me
So maybe they’re switching it up
Like first off they gave people a shorter interview
1m+ 
Oh look we have an opening for CTO
This what I got
I asked for $125000 in Columbus and back down and said oops I meant $115000
Idk why I got scared
Even tho it says you won’t be disqualified
I bet the cto is not even making 500k+
But also I says meeting market expectations so maybe there isn’t any negotiation anyways
Dayum, shots
They just wanna know for research or something
Yeah
They’re gonna be like soooooo, you asked for 2B, can’t do that but thanks for the data
Gotta create some chaos in this world
True lmaooo
Also one of their values is “open company no bullshit” so they won’t jebait you
Or at least they shouldn’t
Hey guys I'm interviewing for the Expedia Technical Program manager position. Does anybody know how, or what resources I should be studying for the Case Study interview and Program Management Competency Interviews?
!avatar @high eagle
any company that give you an offer 
Toxic
Fidelity
I wish I could make that much
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
Is that where the Albertsons meme can from lol i had no idea
Yep lol
Last year for some reason levels said Albertsons was the highest paying internship
And it was like 100/hr plus I think
Gg to Albertsons tho they got bought by Kroger
The worlds top quantitative grocery fund is no more
Yea its hard loo
where do you guys study your OOD?
says test isnt open yet
i think tik tok does it in batches
But 996 😔
Whats 996
So I care about my life more than money lol
chinese thing
Awesome
chinese companies known for this
but like what’s the market like rn
Yes
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
Yep 100%
Really? I would take 200k 996
But I do agree with @lilac locust if it’s your only offer you don’t really have a choice
Um
Have you ever done 9-9
In other part time jobs yes
But not as a software engineer
So cant tell the difference
And uh
You're okay with doing that for the rest of your life? 
I literally wrote 1-2 years...
im gonna make my own leetcode, but for cool people
Best Time to Pull and Push P
I wouldnt mind doing it for 1-2 years as an entry level
Will I be invited? 
i'd do 996 if they gave 250k in actual money
tiktok monopoly money + probably not gonna ipo soon
depends, how often do you want to push and pull p?
I do 6 day split
p,p,no,p,p,no
🙂 👍
How much more could you save with the 996 though if you're only working it for 2 years max?
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
I'm a slacker at heart so I'd take a bit of a cut of tc for wlb in a heartbeat
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
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
maybe not anymore? I applied with a referral a couple of weeks ago
they could have filled up
Also, the difference between 100k and 200k is big but it's worth noting how much more you'd actually save over annually
Likely shutting down by end of year
y tho

They don't want to maintain the site anymore
does anyone know if the tiktok OA is automatic or after a resume screen?
and they have to maintain compilers and stuff to run code on demand
shit is expensive

so is 87k base something I should just take
Depends on where u r located
What location?
I guess if it’s ur only offer you’d have to take it as well haha
my parents basement
The best deal haha
i want to negotiate but they don’t for new grads
Just out of curiosity tho what state of region
is the big resounding message
HCOL second tier
What company is this?
gm
General Motors?
Damn they don’t scale
correct
Wtf they rationing their new grads for
For hcol
Jesus
idk but it could be worse last year it was 64
65
God damn
tbf they’re all in LCOL-MCOL
Like since they’re remote they don’t increase salary based on where u live?
No lol
so it depends on the luck of the draw
take the offer and hope for something better
U can always renege
^
sounds like it
i rather not unless I have a really good reason lol
I applied through one of their sponsored competitions
Probably going to add palantir and Microsoft
I’d say def palantir maybe Microsoft
Apple and Netflix getting dropped probs
MSFT is too old school
Uber
No space tech comps?
Elon musk
Is this a meme or is it legit 996 for US employees? I know it is for non US
Circle
Splunk
BB, Wells Fargo and ATT
Blackberry
lc contest?
Yup
wait what
I'll report back gl soldiers
I actually thought BB was blackberry during my first season lmao
Lmaooo
I like the implication that “Tesla community” and “anyone with common sense” are separate groups
Lmaooooooo
tell me solution to the lc hard after the contest, my brain gave up
Cleverest solution is to realize brute force does not TLE and submit that!
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
Who here has HRT offer? We got a question for you
Yeah they're pretty accurate
Recognizing that it was sliding window was the easy part tbh
Couldn't get the actual implementation logic
Q1-3 were really easy tho
Get accurate rating predictions for leetcode contests right after the completion of contest.
Never
Good offer? In this economy?

How many applications?
im at 700 applications still no offer
actually including many non-ng roles and duplicated roles of one company, like Apple
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
Huh how?
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
Did u try any referral
I applied to every single ng position available (~200) and some SWE1 stuff but not specifically ng (100)
For people who got tiktok phone, how many questions did u do in Oa
NG postings have completely dried up
I mean you can also hit the winter cycle but that’ll be mostly smaller companies I think
Joining a smaller company in January and applying to 2024 new grad roles w/experience on resume might be a viable move
I mean it’s the only option for a lot of people
Most people would be content to stay at the company for a while
OW2 looks fun, been watching my fav OW streamer amouranth and i might pick it up
This server is just different lol
Not at a low tc company tho
I mean that’s different for everyone
For the average person tho
Former
40k wtf
That's below WITCH level bruh
The average cs new grad pay is 70k
Sounds like WITCH companies with 60k taking down the average
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
U have an offer?
nah
How many applications?
Job hop is the move regardless
80 or so
I really doubt people apply to 700... even a small company near you needs a web developer
That’s my plan
I’m happy with my offer but I’m hopping in a year regardless
tbh i realized that amazon internship is a fluke for many people
i got lucky with getting into my amazon internship
140 MCOL
Getting a job should be easy for u
Whoa nice which area
South
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
Great 🙂
around the 1.5 year mark is when ill contemplate the big jump
Im kind of scared to start my first job. I dont know anything lolol
Yeah but then you'd have to work at zon
I know 😞
Wonder if jumping to a quant is possible after a year even with a smaller company on resume
But major accelerator for career advancement
From what I’ve heard
Doubt you’d get interviews but idk
Yeah that's what I'm thinking, too selective with screening
Would need to jump to FAANG first
I want to go to G in like 3-4 yrs then interview at quant
Why does everyone like quant so much
It’ll be a nice challenge to prep for quant interviews even if I don’t get it
Cuz of tc?
Professional bag chaser
TC and location
TC + it’s a nice challenge being surrounded by the smartest people in the world
It seems so cool
Professional liar as well, said I wanted to work at liberty mutual for 10+ years on their workplace assessment 
LOL no way they bought into that statement
???: this kid is lying right in my face
u got an offeR?
congrats?
where?
Quant chasers -> 🤓
It’s very easy to get interveiws from quant places if you have name brand companies
They typically interveiw people with faang
Quant is probably worse, heads up (quant swe are just smarter)
Isn't quant just hella hard to survive the interview process
for those with bloomberg interviews how many phone rounds did yall do
i have heard different numbers
my recruiter told me 3 rounds but some people said 1/2 etc
my process was 1 phone round -> vo -> em
with vo consisting of 2 tech interviews and one short hr interview
when did ur process start?
im wondering if they increased throughout the cycle or its perf dependent or my recruiter just hates me
no clue, did my phone very early september lol it's been a long process
wish i reach a point where i get an offer i want and am able to put my boots up and be stress free
@teal jackal CAPO
omg same bestie
the only thing keeping me going is the knowledge that hopefully in the future I can do that
hopefully closer in the future than the worst case scenario
onwards and upwards comrades 🫡

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
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
epics oa is by far the worst. like its not even close
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
they ran a background check before giving me an offer 
it's worse than hirevue? shudder
yeah I read that this morning lmao
fuck epic systems
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
fun
though it didnt trigger me as much as this other platform, i forget the name
glad I chose to dip out
gaslighted me
said i got the answer wrong
i casted the output to every type that I could
got a 0 and still got an interview
normally youd be sad after bombing right, yeah no i was laughing
the goat
codility has bullshit test cases, hirevue is not optimized for the user, and everything else just has no support
no new "features"
me after taking one of the stubhub codilities and getting 1 incorrect test case for literally no reason, I spent 15 minutes checking my code after it passed their local tests
i think i only did one codility as an OA
like i used it for the msft onsite but like thats different
pretty sure i failed that codility OA
tf theres multiple?
I applied to 5 positions
oh
so I did 5 codilities lmao
i think the only company i ever applied to with multiple coding OAs is circle
it was GCA and then a java one, i just let the java one expire
bad on my part for not knowing they were java shop
oh yeah its on another level. mental math portion, shitty mcqs, and the coding section is just so shit
bless the lord, so glad I'm not doing that
I'm doing my akuna one instead lmao
had mental math for my radix trading recruiter call lmao
i also remember a brain teaser question where you had to write a paragraph about the solution
thank god I've been doing that shit since I was a kid I would have gotten floored otherwise
cisco oa is a distant second i presume
im probably not gonna bother apply to epic systems
seems annoying
honestly, i think im just mistrustful of any company that was hellbent on RTO during covid
cisco was fine?
wait.. am i reading this right...? you got 0 on the oa and passed? 
Is a Privacy Engineering role at Apple worth doing?
Compared to what?
SWE at JPMorgan
I’m worried that not starting with SWE will limit my career options but it’s also Apple
it's giving you hope for expedia? lol

(yes(no(yes)))
don't worry I'll refer you next year

idk what privacy engineering entails, but as long as it's still coding focused i don't see a problem
ur english is good

does anyone know what D.E. Shaw pays new grads?
Fr
An Epic eng said that only 3-4% of ppl get past OA to final
But I think that’s cap bc me and my friend both got past OA and we did bad
My friend got an offer for 250 but that was 2 yrs ago
TC?
I had recruiter call but failed the OA. I gave up half way through and just started guessing aint nobody got time for 2.5 hour OA especially for Epic.
thats probably pretty accurate. pretty sure thats the number for most companies and their initial tech screening round, whether it be a phone or oa
pretty sure last year someone posted an article that with a data size of 100, only 4 people passed the bb phone
But epic has a phone before an OA so maybe it’s diff? Idk
Does anyone’s tiktok application portal show “interviewing”? i was waiting for an Oa after evaluation passed status and it changed to interviewing but no email yet
That’s crazy
I passed the OA and scheduled a final interview for interview practice but then cancelled at the last minute 😊
Too much work
The final isn’t a real interview
Wdym
Dude didn’t share screen and was talking about something the whole time
Didn’t matter cuz I got offer
Any behavioral or LC?
It’s behavioral and “something” they make u sign away 
The product demonstration?
If you want a product demonstration you can just go to the doctor
Most hospitals use their software
I’ve used their software before
It’s not a secret, the data is but like the app 
Every doctor I’ve talked to said not to do medicine
Both my parents are doctors and they told me not to do it
And all my family friends
They’ve only started telling you that recently?
tech phone or behav phone
It’s behavioral
🤷♂️ probs dont fail too many ppl after it then
so bloomberg em just be familiar with own projects and then maybe study some system design?
Not systems as much as OOD
Has anyone heard back from Tiktok or Pinterest after their OA?
I wouldn’t be coding, but I would be working with other software developer teams
nah. em round theyre more likely to ask some sort of sys design over another ood question. either could happen, but sys design is more common
did you get sys design?
damn mines 1hr
mine was scheduled for 45m but he was like "i only do 30m for these so thats what we're gonna do"
gotcha hopefully mine won't be an hour lol
Did you get asked specifically about a personal project or did they make it open ended? I’d rather talk about intern project because my personal ones are pretty small scale.
good luck!
personally i got asked essentially a little about every project/internship on my resume
what i learned doing each one, what i woulda done different
and the differences between working at a big company vs small company on my two internships
kinda the big questions there
My personal projects are mostly ones I did for memes lol
mine are finance/market related so that probably helped lmao
I can talk about one of them and my intern project in terms of what I learned
The other one is just a dumb discord bot I made to troll my friends
just spin it to sound more useful lol
I guess lol
Dogecoin was started as a meme
Ya there have been a couple of changes in physician reimbursement structure + ability to start private practice that make it a lot less attractive to be a doctor
(This basically means more doctors are wage slaves than their own bosses)
How are people that have been grinding for jobs holding up in their classes? I'm getting demolished and need to turn it around to pass
i ignored my classes until like 2 weeks ago, so yeah also playing catch up
luckily this semester is relatively light so its not horrible
Catching up as well, failing financial management 2 cause I’ve been focused in recruiting instead of the class. Just hoping to pull a D
jealous, you should die in your classes every week
Is tiktok OA proctored?
webcam required
thats pretty toxic
I rec not leaving to take a shit if you want to pass the oa
goated advice
i wouldn’t do it then
Microphone too?
Maybe I don't remember
okay thanks
If it was, they heard some fat shits
My man is scheming
literally a whole month behind on my notes for lots of my classes
and my whole semester is proj/assignment based, no exams 
I only got 8 hours of classes a week and I'm somehow 2-3 weeks behind on almost all my classes
Yeah I’m getting stomped by linear algebra and 400 level algorithms
thats standard affairs
I just chill until I get a coursework and then spend 3 days cramming everything lol
and im taking some interesting classes so im kinda like damn
I just need D’s but like i went into it with that mindset and now I’m way behind lol
I say as I'm currently in the library at 8pm working on a cw due tomorrow
kinda wanna end this undergrad with good grades just for my self-esteem
Just wanted to see if taking the OC from a library is possible or not
whats the assignment?
Mhm likely explanation lol
a bunch of proofs and derivations and theory questions about blockchains
and analyzing a contract in solidity
hey at least you have ETH xD
i thought you start with 10 ?
yeah but you have to perform transactions and stuff as part of the cw
you gave 0.0003 ? haha
lol
its gas fees
i sent 1 and received 1
and also got charged for about 15 failed transactions cause im stupid
Wondering if I should even do TikTok OA. I doubt I’d pass it.
2 h long too
Workday
It’s a return offer. Technically don’t have the offer letter yet.
Manager emailed me saying it got approved and he wanted me to know ahead of time.
what topic(s) to expect in palantir karat?
It’s hard
I quit halfway thru

u and me both mate
is this for quant research?
whats the possibility of passing palantir hr call at this point
my friend who passed VO last year got rejected at hr call this year like what
wait wtf
im scared of my palantir hr call
what do they ask on the HR call?
i doubt that would have changed within the span of a month
so yeah ill just make sure my behavioral stories are good
just do your best
the odds or whatever shouldn't chagne your approach
i know it's stressful but in the end all you can control is how you do on your end, and then they'll blackbox it into an offer or not, but that's out of your hands
Bruh even w ref I’m not getting TikTok OA
on the brightside if you don't get it, apparently tiktok wlb is rough
Yeah lmao
i think its heavily team dependent tbh
last year i got their OA 8 times. got annoyed to the point where i blocked their automated university talent email during the 6th time they sent it
still managed to send me 1-2 more oas
screw that shitty company fr
good reminder for some of us here (me)
you can technically say this for literally every company
thus just go by averages
How long does it take to hear back from HR call from palantir?. My timeline was like OA -> karat -> hr.
And do people get rejected in between HR and On-site?
Most massive companies are team dependent
i thought it was phone call -> karat -> Onsite -> HR?
I spoke with an HR/ non tech person after my karat round. I guess that would be a phone screen then?
maybe, im not sure
Thats fair. Thanks!
will job market be good next year?
Bloomberg
yes, my friends uncle works for the job market industry and he says it will improve
anyone have an in person interview with John Hancock?
Can someone forward that vercel app link containing company wise leetcode questions
??
Expected TC for Tesla New Grad?
Isn’t he a founding father
Are you questioning their uncle's word 
International Monetary Fund
Doubt it
Armchair economist
I can say with decent certainty it will be at least as bad next year
Lol prob right tho
Yeah unless you think inflation will go away in 3 months
It will be at least as bad
idk, this market has been so shit i cant see it getting worse for new grads
Maybe if fang unfreezes
By time aug 2023 rolls around for next recruiting season who knows
God damn dude recessions suck
is it best to sort by freq ?
yes
how recent is it tho? like does it take in account to older hiring seasons or is it this curr onee
or comibination
says it on the homepage
if you like i can update it
oh my bad
so its from aug -06-2022 to current date?
or from lc creeation to that date
damn u made it? nice job
the list was updated at that date
i am not affiliated wit dat site
How bad is it for new grads
The worst since obama became president
THANKS OBAMA
Dude... after 1-2 quarters the economy will go back to what it was
And think about how bad it is for other industry if u think tech is bad
Yes and the companies will still recruit
As long as these companies make money, im sure it will come back to what it was soon. I dont believe this will go on for years.
Honestly we can all find jobs. We just want a "good paying" job over 150k+
Worst case scenario the 23 grads will have it rough. I’m with u that 2024 will be prob better
Big words for a little man
dont do me like this
tesla ng
How can I read this
Any advice or suggestion for Bloomberg VO? I am doing Top 100 BB list.
Anything else would help beside this?
nope do that
Okay Cool. Thanks
i wonder how competitive the job hop scene will be
in around 2024-2025
i wonder if job hop promotions to SE2 will be really competitive with people who want a do-over of new grad

ive pretty much accepted that i wasted my chances at being a career tryhard as a new grad
i pranked myself by trusting the process and trying to coast through college and career, being complacent with "good enough", instead of taking initiative to chase what I 100% want
didnt you have a zon internship? which barring any recession that none of us have foreseen was one of the desired internships?
i dont mean to press, but i do think you're being really tough on yourself
none of us knew this market would get this messed up
ion got it anymore
but tbh not sure what happened at zon that screwed me out of the return
do you know if every other intern got the returns? honestly it could've been shit outside of your control which honestly really sucks
What’s wrong 
i think a lot of people noticed that it wasnt uncommon to meet people who didnt get a return this year
tbh i kinda wish i was a better personality match for amazon
if it wasnt for the market, i probably would be like "nah fuck amazon ion even want em"
yeah it's a rough market
but tbh yeah i couldnt have known how arbitrary and high the bar is now, but i still regret just letting my guard down
i feel like we all did except the cracked kids but some are probably struggling too
Top 100 seems excessive tbh. I think top 30 should be fine.
Ohh Okay..
Unless you have tons of time. Then by all means go for it. But I think it’s more important to focus on the patterns within top 20-30
job opportunities for you guys as backups or even first jobs:
your city prolly has a lot of jobs open, i checked mine, and my county and greater city has jobs starting 80k - 120k and higher, i imaigne its not hard to get into and cities give good benefits usually
just looking at the postings, i guarantee the hiring dept has no idea what theyre talking about because they just ue a ton of keywords
cant interpret if thats a good or bad thing tho lol
Is anyone on the wells fargo waitlist lol, they said my top two location choices (NYC & Bay Area) are full which is weird because I thought they have a HQ and a ton of offices in the Bay Area
I don't feel particularly cracked and had to put in a ridiculous amount of hours to be able to keep up at Snap. I worked 60-80 hours a week during my internship. Not worth it in hindsight bc no return offers lol
Bro
Just what are you looking for in tc
Every god dam company is looking for engineers right now
i remember everyone going crazy for snap with their crazy pay, sucks that this was your experience, but at least it gave you realization into what you want out of a company
recession be like: allow us to introduce ourselves
issue is that number of engineers (qualified and unqualified) is greater than the number of companies
Yea with his amazon internship he's obviously looking for very high tc...
110k base salary for me to relax for once, 150k TC for me to take a break from grinding and go on eye detox mode for around 2 weeks(2 weeks with no electronics and just mother nature), 180k TC and i'll buy dinner for some friends on my dime
in the past he did mention being happy with 110k
tbh im most looking forward to the 150k tc goal(detox my eyes and brain from electronics for around 2 weeks or so)
at least 2 weeks
if i reach 150k tc as a new grad i genuinely wont have the power of will to try for the rest of the season
it doesnt mean they're miserable
they could be perfectly content with what they got
if i can reach 150k tc before winter break, i will be spending all winter break with no computer and no internet
when did you apply?
Yday
crazy
i think the whole TC minmax community is just toxic, even people who make way more than they need end up comparing themselves to others and still feeling awful
i always thought the whole “pass HC but no project and rescinded offer” is a TINY group
The claim ur tryna put is that google is especially likely to rescind an offer tho. That’s just not true. The WHOLE market is fucked
Recruiters can be dumbasses bro
The recruiter told me passing HC is offer
My recruiter told me on phone “yeah just take the meta offer and if u pass our interview then rescind meta”
not true, i still think it matters to me tbh
i respect your sentiment
but i personally genuinely believe in my goal
I have never heard a single other person in my life say “i passed HC but it’s not an offer” for google
I have never worked their but I thought G offer was always dependent on team match after passing HC?
Dunga u always make waves when u show up tho 
Is 1 week enough time to finish lc?
Hey this is Matthew Mercado. Nate lets discuss this offline @rain patio
from what i heard, returning interns have been getting pa matches
You only need to do like 100 a day right?
they're prioritized over new grad apps tho
Like dunga if ur tryna tell people “yeah ur offer can get rescinded” then tbh that’s valid
damn you go to uc berk!
But ur saying it’s not even an offer
what is not true ? i think if you legitimately grind for yourself and not for some sort of validation, that's cool - but i just know a lot of people (me being one of them) who don't need the money but burn out grinding bcuz others make so much more
howw
No im trying to steelman ur argument
I’m on vacation
Im trying to help you
Visiting friends
I asked my friends what they did on a sat night and they said research and hw
yeah thats true, i think that these kinds of comparisons about TC harm peoples self esteem even though these people wouldnt have ever cared about TC
Ok sellout
breh everyone had a reading week for studying and i'm here as an engineering student studying for midterms while absorbing more content
i passed HC for new grad 2022, got clapped by hiring freeze 
same
Uh cant be helped... tc minmax community 🙂
So are u in limbo rn?
how difficult was it to get it? i presume you were an A+ student
Purgatory
basically
recruiter let me restart team matching/pa match for new grad 2023 but has no idea when movement will be made
wut
prof makes up some of it through NSF grnats
dudes gotta have the most confident yet worst takes
I have respect for people who do research over selling out
I didnt get google offer dont worry. I got follow up round and blew it
I’m too dumb to do research
but they make more money through being a industry researcher
private school?
Respectable
im considering grad vs amazon return
how good do u think it makes ppl feel when someone types !process jane street tc 800k new grad btw
I'll probably keep failing
It’s hard to turn them down…
is uc berk grad school difficult to get into
or should i go to faang
Your life is some n dimensional vector you’re trying to optimize, and having js just completely eliminated the financial stability component
some school dropped GRE for science programs
Effectively reducing your dimensionality by 1
not MBA
without papers?
pretty much all the big ones
I feel like shit
@tawdry skiff i came a long way, the new grad season last year was when i learned to lc, i got amazon/redfin/meta/expedia/vmware
And failed
Netflix/asana/brex/pure storage/pin/msft/goog/flatiron health/affirm/etc
My tc is only 90k
