[teal jackal]

You should build off extensions to the problems you've seen

[tardy geode]

most i do unseen

yes

[timber rock]

in 3 months there will be no unseen

[teal jackal]

I think one thing that's really helped me with leetcode is journaling through every problem I do

It helps me break down my thought process

By breaking down my thought process, it resonates more strongly with me for next time

Yeah actually breaking down and learning from a problem can take up to an hour

[timber rock]

prob just spamming high acceptance easies lol

[tardy geode]

nuu

[tepid delta]

Anyone here did a 3x60 for amazon new grad in the UK?

[tardy geode]

this is what i do , if i can't solve it in 20-30 mins i watch NC's vid on it then try it again .

[teal jackal]

How do u do 30 problems a day then

[tardy geode]

i specified a range , not exactly 30 😦

[teal jackal]

Still the range is absurd

It doesn't sound achievable

[tardy geode]

yes i have when i was on internship hunt

[teal jackal]

If you actually synthesized 100% of the content from each problem, you'd be a leetcode god rn

[uneven grove]

Anyone done Roivant technical before?

[teal jackal]

You'd be so high iq that you deserve a position of power in government for it

Tbh

[tardy geode]

ik

well maybe my approach is wrong then

[timber rock]

how much time does this take you a day

[tardy geode]

if i would have been goated then i would have got an offer until now

[teal jackal]

OK sorry man if it comes off as we're saying that it's 100% impossible, but tbh I think we're concerned that there might be a blind spot in your leetcode study strategy

[tardy geode]

yes i realise that

[young peak]

How are my little failures doing today

[tardy geode]

i get your advices , i mean appreciate the criticism

[teal jackal]

I'm slow with leetcode, I do like 1 problem on a weekday.

If I get through a problem quicker than expected, I'll do a second one.

[timber rock]

i do like 3 a day for a week then 0 for 2 months then repeat

[teal jackal]

It's Not just understanding the solution, but also how you got to it

Or how anyone could get to it

[crude saffron]

30 meds is doable

It’s like 10 hours a day right

No

I did lc for like 2 days

[teal jackal]

So true bestie

[crude saffron]

And then I gave up cause qr too hard

[night magnet]

I want to retire

[tardy geode]

its doable if you do the same problems as yesterday and memorized the soln

[timber rock]

personally i want to be a slave to the capitalist system

[tardy geode]

i just want a job

[timber rock]

for 60 years and then maybe die

[tardy geode]

so i that i can stop doing LC

[crude saffron]

20-30 min per problem seems reasonable

Then with enough stimulants you can maintain that pace for a whole day

[autumn ridge]

cheat code unlocked

[west egret]

I think the problem is the market rn. I’m low key scared that even with an offer that things might go south.

So I might still do LC after accepting an offer. Just maybe not as much.

[autumn ridge]

Yeah I worry about that too. It's seems almost impossible to stay on top of LC prep while working full time.

[west egret]

I might take it easier in spring because I only have two classes left.

[dire ore]

I might just change ddog from FT to winter intern. I can't even start at Google until april.

[dawn osprey]

I know this may sound stupid, but did Amazon close already for 2023 new grad roles? Headcount wise, like microsoft. Any insider news?

[uncut umbra]

goldman sachs mass reject

fuck em

I dubbed that OA a month ago lmao

[twilit wasp]

do you want to work for GS tho

[uncut umbra]

more so than being unemployed yes

[twilit wasp]

like no hybrid option, long hours

fair

[brave dirge]

yeah, one more talk with em afterwards

yup

i’m having my vo tmr on campus hh. would need some tips too.

[amber jasper]

Hi, anybody here taken the Palo Alto Network oa / interview?

[hasty birch]

For ppl who got Expedia hackerrank, what strengths and weakness did you get in the feedback link for the strengths based OA?

[rain patio]

I received it 10 days back, currently it shows report expired, but I got 2/3 positive nd 1/3 negative

I didn't get invite for another round of intervire

interview*

[hasty birch]

Yeah everyone gets that, it's supposed to be 2 biggest strengths and then biggest weakness

Wondering what the best combination is

[late kestrel]

nah im pretty sure thats tagged because they give https://leetcode.com/problems/remove-all-adjacent-duplicates-in-string-ii/ in a candy crush context

[upbeat quartz]

8~10 rounds

[tardy geode]

can i dm you?

[tardy geode]

fr ?

[late kestrel]

yeah ive seen ppl get that

[tardy geode]

you mean remove duplicate strings one?

[late kestrel]

yes, and also in a candy crush context

like the problem is talking about candy crush but its essentially remove k dups

aka 1d candy crush

[tardy geode]

gotcha

[timber rock]

Strength: curiosity and inclusion
Weakness: innovation

[hasty birch]

I got the same

[timber rock]

And ik someone who got strength inclusion and innovation, weakness drive

[hasty birch]

And got hackerrank OA?

[timber rock]

Yea

[indigo raft]

How long after did you get OA?

[timber rock]

16 days

[timber rock]

I dont think it will be that slow for you if you're in the US, here in the uk they've been slow af for everyone

[ripe marsh]

I had an Amazon final last week and my status just changed from Under Review to Application Submitted and changed the role ID

is that what I think it is?? Lol

[static moth]

congrats!

portal change

[brazen coral]

location?

[uncut umbra]

still confused about this because there are two ways to interpret the question, one way is similar to the tagged (that's how I did it) and the other way is to interpret it as memoized/recursive dp which is hell

[ripe marsh]

Seattle

[late kestrel]

i dont see why your way wouldnt work tho 🤷‍♂️

[violet badger]

How long does it take to hear back from palantir after karat?

[rain patio]

does 805 on Code signal pass pinterest?

[loud stump]

What would y'all choose between Roblox (san mateo) and palantir (NYC)

[rain patio]

palantir

[hasty birch]

Personally Palantir

[ivory stratus]

palantir

[loud stump]

because of NYC?

or like do you not have faith in Roblox as a company

[hasty birch]

Yes

[rain patio]

Roblox is just lame

lol

[loud stump]

haha yeah I tried it out recently and it definitely didn't live up to the hype

[hasty birch]

The game? It has hype?

[loud stump]

like around the company i guess

[hasty birch]

The hype is for the TC

And ig cloud

[echo finch]

the hype is also for the game BOZOS!! its very obvious that some of u havent played papers please 🙄

https://www.roblox.com/games/583507031/HALLOWEEN-Papers-Please-Chapter-2

btw

[last summit]

$20k for being in nyc and not having to say you work at roblox is a W

[wheat seal]

Roblox is here to stay. I’d choose Roblox tbh. Palantir sounds boring compared to what ud do at Roblox

That’s just me though. I’m not even a fan of the game

I just think it would be interesting

[dire ore]

Google (Sunnyvale) or Datadog (NYC)

Same TC

basically

220 and 208

[uncut umbra]

consider the string "abbbcccb". my stacks way would remove the b's first, then the c's, leaving "ab". but the dp way would be to remove the c's first, then the b's clump together, so you just get "a".

[echo finch]

whichever offer u dont want, can u give to me

[wheat seal]

U have both?

[dire ore]

Ye

Well

Google is a fucking glacier

And they’re slow as shit for PA matching

[wheat seal]

Oh so u didn’t get offer yet for google?

[dire ore]

Interned and passed HC

[wheat seal]

Pa match is guarantee though for new grad

[dire ore]

People said ddog promos are fast

[wheat seal]

I wouldn’t do datadog if u have google

[dire ore]

Like 1 year to mid level

[wheat seal]

Google pays more long term though

And has way more resume value

And also is way harder to get in later on

[dire ore]

Their hiring process suck ass

A lot of people have spent more time waiting for google than working there.

[wheat seal]

Also google doc is lame lol

For interview

[dire ore]

They stopped doing that

[wheat seal]

They did?

They probably got so many complaints

[dire ore]

It’s a syntax highlighted coding platform

With indentation iirc

[lost ether]

They might do google docs this cycle for more effective weeding

[uncut umbra]

has splunk ever opened positions this cycle

[wheat seal]

Nop

I like Splunk though for logging

[uncut umbra]

ok

[wheat seal]

It’s really easy to learn and use

But just super slow

[uncut umbra]

that makes sense, a friend told me that hiring there has slowed

[bronze nymph]

l4 @ g != l4 @ dd keep that in mind

overall though, i dont see any reason to take datadog

[dire ore]

For real

We’re fucking jaded

After this dog crap process

[hasty birch]

Are you talking about Google or ddog?

[wheat seal]

That’ll never happen. Everyone would always pick google in the end

[hasty birch]

Yup, too many Google simps

[dire ore]

I mean Larik has Netflix and IMC

he’s not like he hasnt got good options

Good

Fuck google

I would in your shoes any day

[wheat seal]

Yea between Netflix and google I think most would choose Netflix right now at least

[nocturne oriole]

What is G doing

Taking long to pass PA?

[dire ore]

They’re trolling

[nocturne oriole]

I am out of loop

Oh

[bronze nymph]

i disagree honestly, I think most people would take google if they had both offers in hand

[tawdry skiff]

G is taking long time

[nocturne oriole]

Damn and people shit on meta

Sounds like everyone is fucked

[wheat seal]

Yea probably honestly

[hasty birch]

Bruh that's terrible

[nocturne oriole]

Facts

Both suck

[dire ore]

No it’s not that Google isn’t giving return offers

[wheat seal]

Meta already gave 1 mth pay

[tawdry skiff]

It seems that last year ng is now getting TM and offer

[dire ore]

It’s certain product areas are getting them first

[nocturne oriole]

People thot i was exaggerating when i said this worst year for tech since obama got elected

[wheat seal]

Like GCP?

[nocturne oriole]

But look, shit hit the fan

[dire ore]

So many YouTube, ads, Geo, devices and services

People are getting return offers

[wheat seal]

Why?

[dire ore]

Biggest org

[ripe marsh]

I'd love to work for YouTube but idk if they even usually hire NG

[nocturne oriole]

Cuz bad wlb i thought

[dire ore]

Slowest to finalize headcount

[ripe marsh]

seems like they just want senior engineers

[dire ore]

Apply for google

[wheat seal]

Yea aws is much better than gcp

[ripe marsh]

not open?

[nocturne oriole]

Dont all the cloud services have bad wlb

Just the rep

[dire ore]

Nah.

[wheat seal]

Depends on team probably

My friend has good wlb at aws

[dire ore]

Yeah me neither

It’s some myth that sprung up on blind and everyone believes it now

[wheat seal]

GCP seems kinda unmotivating to work for

Do u guys have something like lambda and step functions?

Why’d u take Netflix over Google then?

[dire ore]

Netflix was like 205 base and some nice sign on right

[indigo raft]

i wonder what the process is to get headcount lol not G but my past internship also keeps saying 'in 2 weeks we'll have an update' 🙃

[wheat seal]

GCP is cheaper than aws right?

25-50% cheaper it says

So GCP is good for startups maybe?

[dire ore]

Cuz GCP is run on google infra which is fucking amazing

[wheat seal]

Who don’t have that much cash?

[dire ore]

It’s efficient af

[lethal turret]

does bloomberg send out rejections? I got nothing after em round, almost 2 weeks

[wheat seal]

Took them 3 weeks to reject me

I got resume rejected though

[lethal turret]

wtf...

[wheat seal]

As industry

I’m in industry already

Like 3-4 mths

[nova reef]

205 base? or with equity?

[dire ore]

Base

[shrewd sparrow]

netflix doesn't do stock in their TC

[nova reef]

ohhh mb

[uncut umbra]

they lied/went back on a ton of things they told interns

I don't know every detail so this could/could not be related to timeline stuff

but ik that a lot of interns and new grads (ge's) were told that start date next year would not impact return offers, and as of a couple of weeks ago it turns out that conversions with a start date later than june 6th or smth were told offers weren't extended

on top of all the wishy-washy stuff for a lot of interns/new grads who are ee's and whatnot

I would still take meta if they gave me a full time job, but it is def scummy behavior, and that's before you get into rescinded offers

[sonic coral]

word on the street says gcp is gonna be the first to get headcount

[inner cape]

how long can I expect google matching to take?

passed HC today and wanna get a good understanding of the timeline

[sonic coral]

rn its completely tbd

they're in an unprecedented hiring freeze

[teal jackal]

i am sorry for asking again

but how does palantir hr call wrok

[inner cape]

like 10 days ago

last last friday ig

huh?

[split plaza]

It’s easy, basic behavioral q’s (at least for me)

[teal jackal]

what kind?

its really sad how all the PRs on coderquad are "close [company]"

[calm shale]

they wont change it, if your offer is for a location

think you have to start first, then request a change through ur manager

[formal fable]

BB does that too

What did airbnb do?

[nocturne oriole]

Meta IIRC has not rescinded actual offers formally to any intern or ft US engineers

Maybe contract workers, maybe EU

The offers were maybe “promised” and not given, but they were never rescinded

Rescind = here is da paper, oh nvm

[formal fable]

More than most. FAANG-like, especially this year

[uncut umbra]

maybe not a formal rescind in the US, but based on linkedin posts and anecdotes from friends they are heavily obfuscating any and all information regarding offers unless you are a new grad ge who has a start date in may 2023

[nocturne oriole]

I agree it’s all a shit move. But to me there really are levels to this

The coinbase or snap situations for example

[uncut umbra]

that's fair enough

I'm not blacklisting any company off of purely reputation, but it does color how I approach other offers as well

[teal jackal]

what do i eat for dinner

its 10pm and i forgor to eat

[west egret]

Some protein source, carbs and some vegetables

[tawdry skiff]

nuggs

[formal fable]

We'll see

[dusky plover]

BB is literally saving the 2023 grad scene holy

[teal jackal]

assuming we can pass the interviews

bloomberg and c1 have honestly been lifelines to so many people

this season

[runic wind]

BB goat

[dusky plover]

ye

BB RR me tho lol

BB tagged and pray

[runic wind]

Mike will get it done, I guess

[chilly burrow]

https://cscareers.dev/job-postings/30bb1a4a-55ef-42bd-b69f-c6f880528b6d

[teal jackal]

phone advice?

[chilly burrow]

Mongodb dropped

[teal jackal]

bloomberg tagged it is?

[dusky plover]

this is for sydney dawg

[teal jackal]

australians only

[chilly burrow]

Ya

[teal jackal]

it would be such a W if i was an australian citizen

nah

instead i was born in the crappiest economy in the EU

[primal pike]

cscareers url makes my antivirus go crazy 4 some reason

[dusky plover]

go to australia to work for mongodb and get the shit beaten out of u by 2 ants lol

[chilly burrow]

Y do u got antivirus in 2022?

[teal jackal]

bro im scared of being upside down in australia tbh

i could never

[chilly burrow]

Wdym?

[wicked rivet]

you get used to it

just don't go out without your harness

[chilly burrow]

For australians

[primal pike]

too many inappropriate sites

[teal jackal]

implying any of us are australian lol

[tawdry skiff]

kek, love name

[primal pike]

im 0.45% australian

[teal jackal]

aboriginal australian

?

thats pretty sick

[primal pike]

i identify as ausiee

i identify as a senior developer with 40 years of experience

[vital meteor]

Companies pay way less compared to in the USA, australia TC might be min wage USD

[teal jackal]

i identify as a MIT CS student with 3 Machine Learning publications, prior internship at Google and [insert quant firm here], and an ICPC award

[teal jackal]

probably not that dramatic

but its more like middle middle class for US standards

i had some people talk sense into me

i realize that ive just underachieved throughout high school and the first 2/3rds of college

but its never too late to achieve your full potential

at least not in tech

i pretty much coasted through college apps

i only stressed about grades because my parents forced me to care and honestly, its either i study and get good grades or i outright fail

i cant achieve a middle ground of not putting effort and just getting a B

so i chose to get good grades

i realize that ive never put effort into anything before because i genuinely wanted it, until job apps

[fossil jewel]

how old are you if i may ask?

[teal jackal]

21

[fossil jewel]

honestly you got your whole 20s ahead of you

[teal jackal]

yeah

im becoming a bloomer about my situation

i realize that at least i caught onto my mistake in life earlier

[fossil jewel]

honestly gotta realize lots of people go back to school when they're over 30, and lots end up killing it and getting good stuff

its really easy to tunnel vision where we stand compared to our peers and get depressed

[chilly burrow]

^ also while a bunch of ppl on dis server may seem super successful. It's usually due to the more successful ones being more vocal

[teal jackal]

i realize that until i started applying for jobs, ive never put effort into anything before because i genuinely wanted it
but its ok
i know now to try

[chilly burrow]

Also ppl on dis server r tryhards

[teal jackal]

its also like, the success stands out among the wave of failure

[fossil jewel]

like my ass got sad i got the rej from bbg but i can always reapply after 6 months

[teal jackal]

success is more visible than failure

[teal jackal]

very true, i like bloomberg for that

you get 2 tries a season

[fossil jewel]

respect honestly

[teal jackal]

4, if you get resume rejected on your first tries, and use an alt email

[fossil jewel]

since im now in the system i can hit up the same recruiter and try to get to VO right away

ik ppl from my school got moved to VO without phone bc they applied in the past

[teal jackal]

doesnt bloomberg do like "save files"

like they advance u right back to where you failed last time

mad respect for that tbh

[fossil jewel]

mhm

[fossil jewel]

road to success is filled with failures

[teal jackal]

yeah im developing a better attitude to cope with my recent chain of failures

its made me feel like garbage

but i know that my friends have been super driven from day 1

i think ill be able to put that effort into life

[fossil jewel]

for sure

[teal jackal]

i am the cliche of "kid who was told he's gifted takes it for granted and coasts through school because its easy to him" and then actual real world shit hits me like a bus

[azure zephyr]

^ this. and also rem that we have our into career to make it into places like google lmao

[ivory stratus]

Hey that’s me too lol

[vital meteor]

My life dream is to join google

[azure zephyr]

on another note i keep seeing advice about having multiple sources of income, how tf do you do that as somebody just starting out of college? the stock market?

[vital meteor]

Where do you see that, tiktok?

[teal jackal]

someday for me, but it cant be today

[azure zephyr]

nah all over twitter

[teal jackal]

or the foreseeable future

[vital meteor]

Most people who shill this has a course

[fossil jewel]

yeah my friends who got rejected at VO got skipped this year to VO straight away

just gotta talk with recruiter

[dusky plover]

onlyfans
real estate
stocks
crypto
art commisions
drug dealing
pick your poison

[azure zephyr]

nah this is referring to ppl outside of those schemes, but the best way im seeing to start having multiple sources of income is throwing like $200/month into s&p

[teal jackal]

scamming kids of their csgo skins

[fossil jewel]

im seeing that trend too much lol "how i make 20k per day from my side hustle"

[teal jackal]

i still remember that saga of my life

i scammed people for a bit and then got bored of it

[vital meteor]

How I make 6 figures with 1 hour of work a week !

[teal jackal]

senior enigneer at a dinosaur ass company

[fossil jewel]

(not clickbait)

[teal jackal]

it is unironically possible

[vital meteor]

Stadia team prob did it

[fossil jewel]

rip stadia

[forest aspen]

lol

[teal jackal]

bro all stadia had to do was calculate a picture on their server, and send it to the client around 60 times or so

idk how they messed up

[shrewd ivy]

anyone got an email from amazon saying 2023 Software Development Engineer (SDE) role " still under consideration." 💀 I applied forever ago

[dusty halo]

Anyone got invited to Job Shadow Day at M&T?

[teal jackal]

funny thing is that my skip didnt even veto me for my project performance
skip vetoed me because "you dont exemplify many amazon LPs"
its a cult i stg

i remember i got good marks on my intern eval for "Delivers results"

[distant rampart]

my tiktok application just changed to resume evaluation

[teal jackal]

very vividly remember that was my sstrong point

[distant rampart]

-.- what is this

[teal jackal]

sussy

[forest aspen]

theyre stalking your tiktok acc i bet

snooping through your likes

[distant rampart]

ok then im screwed :S

[forest aspen]

nah fr same

i chickened out of the application

because im afraid of this

[grand barn]

I cannot wrap my head around this 💀

[formal fable]

Mine could be fairly different from NG, but the only relevant tip I have is to be vocal about your problem solving process. Usually impresses them, even if you suck at it.

[formal fable]

Windows defender and most browsers combined handle all significant common threats online. Unless you're actively ignoring all 10000 warnings before you end up on shady site, your antivirus is just a resource hog.

[teal jackal]

I remember the story of the tiktok simp who got a copyright notice instead of an OA

truly a sad story

[autumn ridge]

That post was hilarious and sad

[upbeat osprey]

[formal fable]

School is where the "gift" is enough for success and fulfilment. Uni and beyond is where one realizes that the "gift" needs to mix with hard work and diligence. If you learnt that lesson at 21, I'd say you're on your way to the top. For me, it was my first horrible boss that made me realize that I'd rather get off my ass than deal with this shit, lol

[solemn crag]

tiktok oa is so stupid 😭 Why STDIN and STDOUT

[tawdry skiff]

https://www.axios.com/2022/10/18/microsoft-layoffs-latest-tech-firm-cuts

[solemn crag]

Also the prompt says integer but the input is actually string😭 Can you be any more inconsistent tiktok

[loud dove]

is tesla doing new grad 2023

[wheat seal]

I’m talking about as a product. Not working for

[distant rampart]

does bloomberg make u compile the code during interviews

[solemn crag]

Not that I know of

[floral plank]

Not for me

[solemn crag]

You just dry run your code if you have time

[distant rampart]

cool thanks 🙂

[loud stump]

has anyone interviewed for DE Shaw or gotten an offer? trying to figure out if I should do the virtual on-site tomorrow

[solemn crag]

(and tbh I miss lines from time to time and interviewer doesn't seem to find out)

[wheat seal]

Duo security?

[sweet urchin]

ye probs

na jk ❤️

[floral plank]

it wasn't that bad imo. I am just a bad interviewer.

[brittle marten]

is striped confirmed no new grad this year

im doing final round for intern but i signed somewhere else so considering sliding my friends' resume in instead if they don't do new grad

[prime palm]

Aww thanks man! Appreciate you doing this for me again 🥰

[weary flax]

wait you can slide friends' resumes?

[pure mauve]

Lmao how do you do that

[sonic coral]

i interviewed for systems swe last cycle

it was brutal

[low scroll]

i got it a while ago

applied 10 weeks ago

thats as long as some internships

[hasty birch]

Did you get an offer from them?

[chilly burrow]

Gl 🙏

[dusty halo]

Not yet. Just received the invite.

[hasty birch]

How far are you in the process?

[dusty halo]

I have just received the invite. Nothing else.

[hasty birch]

Ah, gotcha

[dusty halo]

Had a talk with a recruiter beforehand though.

[dusty halo]

Have you also been invited?

[hasty birch]

I haven't gotten that

I did OA and passed it

Have next round in a couple days

[dusty halo]

Ok

[dusty halo]

When did you apply?

[hasty birch]

9/12 apply
9/23 OA
10/3 Interview invitation

[dusty halo]

Ok. Thanks

[rustic vessel]

How do y’all keep motivated when you’ve got nothing?

[hasty birch]

Discipline > Motivation

[static moth]

it might sound cliche but u just need one yes

keep ur head up my guy

[rustic vessel]

I just feel I fucked up my undergrad badly. Haven’t had a single response from companies in the last 2 weeks

[static moth]

u can't kick yourself like that. this year just an anomaly

if u graduate next year spring, u still got quite some time to try getting something

didn't u get to like finals at some cracked companies? means u got what it takes fr

just keep trekking bro it'll all work out in the end

[fallen fox]

how do you guys answer "why do you want to work at x company"?

[forest aspen]

money

[spring ledge]

something unique ab that company

[fallen fox]

cant find anything unique

[calm blade]

Is it me or is New Grad slowing down

[chilly burrow]

Say you're interested in the industry its in + the culture + the product

[restive cedar]

Ok what companies hire seniors / class of 2023 for internships

[dire yarrow]

very few

[restive cedar]

Which ones

I know Spotify

[dense cloud]

jump i think

[dire yarrow]

ok don't take my word for it, but I felt the same thing last year. Last year was completely different I agree, but a lot of apps did open around Jan/feb/march, my first offer was in April. So I wouldn't lose hopes. There's no point in losing hopes anyways, so I'd chill, and do my thing, keep applying for companies.

[dire yarrow]

I think @verbal sorrel was looking for similar positions last year, one of it was square? I don't remember

internships as in for summer or spring/winter too?

[verbal sorrel]

Gemini might

[restive cedar]

Summer 2023

[verbal sorrel]

Squarespace did not make an exception

[dire yarrow]

so you just chilled till august?

[verbal sorrel]

Yes

[dire yarrow]

Also, a lot of startups can hire ppl. You might not get paid but... Or you might get paid less than your big companies.

but if you're looking to gain experience and make yourself useful, worth looking

[verbal sorrel]

If they don’t pay they can fuck off

Unpaid internships is straight theft

[dire yarrow]

tbh all decent startups that I interviewed with did pay something

[verbal sorrel]

If they don’t pay I got a surprise air package for them

[dire yarrow]

the ones that didn't pay were mostly 1 person startups, a guy from non cs background had an idea and wanted to execute it so was hiring a CS intern

[elder locust]

After careful consideration of your application, we would like to progress to the next stage.
who tf words their email like this

I thought its a rejection

[alpine fjord]

Which company?😂

[elder locust]

some small no name company in the UK

[chilly burrow]

Bad wording lol. Gl tho 🙏

[minor gyro]

I guess the reason why it's still a small company is everyone thought they were rejected so no one shows up for their interview

Or it might be some British humor thing idk

[signal trellis]

agreed

[lost ether]

How about unpaid internships working for universitiy 👀

[marsh sand]

guys

Amazon vs Meta?

[wheat seal]

Amazon is better right now and probably for awhile

[teal jackal]

man ive been depressionposting in the chat for a century lol

i relate 100% to you

i messed up my undergrad life too

[timber rock]

meta pays more but is kinda fucked rn

my friend interned at meta london this year and loved it

[marsh sand]

i interned at london too eheheh

i was wondering cuz i dont think I'll get a RO lmao

[timber rock]

yea lol

i would still choose meta over amazon if i had the choice, but theres not much chance of getting meta

[wheat seal]

Rn?

[timber rock]

yes

[wheat seal]

I would definitely choose zon

Meta just isn’t stable rn

Like when I think of Facebook I think of instagram

But for some reason they are prioritizing metaverse

[timber rock]

more money and better name on my cv

[wheat seal]

I don’t even know what they r doing now

[timber rock]

slightly less chance of getting a shitty wlb team

[wheat seal]

Right now though I think it’s more likely at meta

Ppl have said they are enforcing PIP more now too

At least someone here that works at meta said so

Maybe it’s not that serious though idk

But personally for me I prefer stability over short term income

[timber rock]

im only here for the money

[wheat seal]

Amazon pays a ton though lol

170k in Seattle

That’s still wild

Like close to 30k sign on I think

[timber rock]

49k base for zon ng here, meta is like 53k pro rata just for interns

[wheat seal]

This is UK?

[timber rock]

yes

[wheat seal]

Or London?

[timber rock]

london

[wheat seal]

Is col low there?

Seattle is like mcol

And u don’t need a car

So 170ktc is wild

[timber rock]

i dunno about seattle but its definitely lower than sf and nyc

[wheat seal]

Yup by a lot

[timber rock]

rent probably 1.5k

[wheat seal]

No income tax also here

[wheat seal]

Yea if u can get a roommate and live in cheaper parts but still nice

For a studio expect to pay low 2000

[timber rock]

ye i meant for london

[wheat seal]

Oh gotchu

Yea doesn’t seem like amazon is paying much over there then

[timber rock]

not 100% sure how much stock you get but i think its around 40-50k over 4 years

[nova reef]

40k yr1 sign-on, 33k yr2 sign-on

for seattle at least

[wheat seal]

Yea it’s extremely solid

[wheat seal]

I think sign on covers mostly the rest of tc. U don’t get significant stock till year 3 and 4

[wheat seal]

Oh yea Seattle groceries are expensive asf

But I still feel like 50k in London is too low

Is that tc?

[timber rock]

you are very comfortable in london on 50k

[teal jackal]

wow that sounds peanuts af tbh

[timber rock]

most new grads will start around 35k

[nova reef]

50k base + 50k stock/4yr sounds just pretty sad

I thought amazon.ca is already pretty bad

didnt know it's worse in UK

[teal jackal]

amazon canada is not bad

[wheat seal]

Yea like u could get that anywhere in US and lcol

[teal jackal]

its still six figures

[timber rock]

cause people in the US dont realise the US is the only place with their crazy tc lol

[nova reef]

used to be peanuts too tbh

[wheat seal]

Like govt jobs pay more than that in Us

[nova reef]

before wish drove up the bar

[timber rock]

canada is still better than pretty much all of europe

but then u gotta deal with the fact that you live in canada

[wheat seal]

Meta pay is how much in London?

[teal jackal]

canadian housing is hell

idk how people can live there anymore

[timber rock]

4.4k a month for interns i believe

[nova reef]

toronto/vancouver housing

is fked up

[timber rock]

probably 60k-ish for ng?

[nova reef]

gl buying a house kek

[wheat seal]

60k ? For meta?

Tc?

[timber rock]

base

[wheat seal]

With amazon it’s 35k tc?

[timber rock]

what

amazon is 49k base

[wheat seal]

Oh ok gotcha

And 25k of stock a year

[timber rock]

absolutely not lol

[wheat seal]

Lower?

[timber rock]

i would be very surprised if it was that high

last i heard it was 40-50k over 4 years

[wheat seal]

So basically 12k a year of stock

[timber rock]

basically

[wheat seal]

So 62k tc basically

[timber rock]

but probably with amazon's scammy percentages

[wheat seal]

Yea I’d still choose amazon over meta then

In London

At least for right now

[nova reef]

meta is a sinking ship

abort

[wheat seal]

Metaverse was a bad call. I think they spent 20 billion on it so far and planning to put more in while being in a bearish market

[timber rock]

metaverse is the dumbest thing i have ever heard

[wheat seal]

The Metaverse has enormous monetization potential for all stakeholders in its development and usage. According to industry estimates, revenues from virtual reality (VR) gaming worlds could reach $400 billion USD by 2025, and the Metaverse could cumulatively generate $1 trillion in value.Mar 30, 2022

[timber rock]

lol

copium

[wheat seal]

This was from xrtoday

Like A trillion dollars???????

In just 3 years?

[timber rock]

i cant see it ever becoming popular outside of nft bros buying virtual houses

[teal jackal]

i saw a blind post about how there's no big thing or major paradigm shift at the moment

AI/ML growth still seems promising

but metaverse is not gonna work unless meta magically makes some godly-tier headset that's super light and looks exactly like real life

even then, metaverse evangelists are really overthinking the use cases for VR

[timber rock]

just hurry up and make sword art online real

[verbal sorrel]

Fucking same

[wheat seal]

So many new ai/ml companies coming out and look promising

[teal jackal]

tbh unpaid research with the university is not that bad

its a decent way to build experience before building experience

id recommend it

[wheat seal]

Ai/ml will continue to be promising for many years. I don’t think Vr is ready yet

[nova reef]

and if you can get a paper done with ur name on it, 300% worth it

[wheat seal]

Until they are capable of producing SAO level of VR then it’s pointless

[verbal sorrel]

L take

[wheat seal]

No aincrad?

[verbal sorrel]

Just because VR/AR isn’t at some sci-fi level yet doesn’t mean it ain’t promising.

[teal jackal]

i think the problem with metaverse is that its coming up with a solution, then inventing a problem

[wheat seal]

I mean I could see it being used for disabilities and for game editing like with Omniverse and nvidia are doing. Meta verse just isn’t it

[verbal sorrel]

Bro

The metaverse isn’t VR

That’s some shitware made by meta

[teal jackal]

ok jake yeah i get what youre saying

[wheat seal]

Yea like teaming up with msft to do teams lol

[teal jackal]

theres a distinction between VR/AR and metaverse

[teal jackal]

bro nobody wants to be in a teams meeting in the first place what tf are they making metaverse teams for

nobody finds teams meetings fun

[wheat seal]

Wth is metaverse

[wheat seal]

Yea like they are inventing problems and trying to solve them

[verbal sorrel]

Some bullshit coined term that companies don’t really understand if I’m gonna be real

Just sounds cool

I guess

[wheat seal]

And it isn’t even accessible for companies like $1500/unit for oculus 2???????

[wheat seal]

It’s a cool name. I got hyped up when I first saw it

[verbal sorrel]

But in all seriousness there are tons of strides being made in science that could be applied. I remember something about being able to recreate smells over long distances.

And I think taste was there or coming?

[teal jackal]

oh man society is fucked if they figure that out, im gonna troll so hard

[verbal sorrel]

Obviously not applied yet but it could be in the future and seems promising

[verbal sorrel]

Instantly blocked from all multiplayer vr content

[timber rock]

hold on guys better get my meta quest 26 (tm) so that i can smell things over long distances

[verbal sorrel]

I mean if @wheat seal wants his weeb dream we gotta get somebody to implement it

I mean there are already suits too for pain

If anything the main thing that’s gonna be a problem is making everything contained within a small/reasonable space. Ideally the helmet itself or maybe those ahhh goofy chairs from cyberpunk

Oh also that we still don’t understand consciousness and our brain’s neutral pathway completely to the point we could disable physically body movement signals and turn them into movements within the game world itself

meta too busy trying to simulate the office environment in VR while being in the office

[knotty talon]

🙏

[lethal turret]

mostly just bq, but I got system design

[west egret]

My recruiter told me my EM would be expedited for 30 mins instead. Is that good or bad? lol

[small mountain]

seems like a bit of a concept and of false promises no different than what tesla frequently does to keep selling ideas to its investors. having a display an inch from your eyes and a heavy headset on the entire time you're working instead of just using a second monitor is going to be extremely exhausting for most, not to mention how they still haven't managed to figure out how to reduce motion sickness

by the time all those changes and improvements come it'll be a far different product to what it currently is

[neat shore]

My BB interview that was supposed to be today just got postponed. If I ask to Expedite process they won’t ask for proof that I have another offer right ?

This is BB onsite btw

[shrewd ocean]

when u do vo 1 and 2

[brittle smelt]

no they won't

[floral plank]

Was this virtual or in person?

[neat shore]

ThNks. Why did BB postpone my onsite a couple hours before. Are they almost filled

[brittle smelt]

They also postponed my EM call that was supposed to be today, already been three weeks after my VOs

[neat shore]

Virtual onsite

[dense cloud]

they postponed my phone today too

[last belfry]

Lol have my on-site today

Hope that don’t get postponed

It’s in person

[neat shore]

How do you have an in person onsite

[last belfry]

On campus

[winter loom]

Is BB filled?

Why would they be postponing every onsite otherwise

[last belfry]

Maybe an internal issue

[winter loom]

Possible but why would every engineer who's interviewing cancel

A company wide issue?

[rain patio]

Wtf

[reef kettle]

Yeah it's so dumb

When I applied last year I sent them something I wrote for one of my humanities writing classes

[rain patio]

Did u move to the next stage?

[last summit]

desco tripping bro

I get such an academic vibe from them

🤮

[reef kettle]

No but I don't think anyone read it to be honest

They made me share standardized test scores and stuff too

[rain patio]

lmao fuck that

[teal jackal]

i might try that then

wait sorry i forgot to disable ping on reply

[reef kettle]

Actually they did read it, I just rechecked

I sent my contribution to a research paper and they emailed me back saying they want something non-technical

[uncut umbra]

has anyone done the hive take-home

I got the one for frontend

don't know how challenging it is but also I would like to do it since it seems like a decent process

[teal jackal]

did u do recruiter call first, and then takehome?

how does hive process work?

[uncut umbra]

yes

[teal jackal]

ah

[uncut umbra]

had the recruiter call yesterday

[teal jackal]

i guess ill have the takehome soon then

i have it tomorrow

[uncut umbra]

I wrote something for a freshman year class that's a story that I'm decently proud of

[teal jackal]

documentation in tech is REALLY bad
Honestly I hate behavioral interviews but I genuinely can't hate on de shaw for asking for a writing sample

[uncut umbra]

it's semi-cringe but I enjoy writing stories and I'm definitely not sending the other stuff I write

[tawdry skiff]

https://www.engadget.com/amazon-attrition-leadership-ctsmd-201800110.html?guccounter=1

[teal jackal]

so the economics behind PIP is total bullshit

[night magnet]

Well this includes warehouse workers which account for a large chunk of this percent.

Also, it I doesn’t do a good job of screening out seasonal/gig workers

[teal jackal]

true

[night magnet]

I would like to see this % just for engineers

[teal jackal]

I heard that amazon warehouses have churned through so many employees that its sometimes hard for them to find people now

rly trying to get some references

[teal jackal]

Doesn't dulingo do NYC

[last summit]

"pgh"

[small mountain]

your combined offers are like 2 million

imagine doing overemployment on like 3 HFT jobs

[teal jackal]

i have a question about HR calls

are u suppposed to ask the recruiter any questions

and if so, what kinda stuff do u ask

[lament summit]

yes

questions about the process

i asked diff between fdse and swe

[teal jackal]

tru

i like this one

its like "i wanna know more why about why i should lick palantirs nutsacks"

[teal jackal]

does anyone remember when people would flex on social media saying "i was awarded over 1 million in scholarships!"

when in reality they applied to like 30 colleges

im like "if u really have a million on hand buy a lambo"

[teal jackal]

1 million to bankruptcy speedrun

i also have another q

so when they ask "tell me about a time you received criticism" or "tell me about a time you failed"

it should be STAR, but inside the A should be a description of the failure and then a rebound story leading to the R

right?

the rebound should = you still were able to finish the task in full

its like theyre not actually asking you to admit to failure, its more like asking you to name a time you made a mistake but gracefully handled it

[austere grove]

You’ll get fired within a week

Unironically

From each

[lament summit]

yes

means u passed

congrats

[somber hamlet]

So now what are the next rounds? application -> karat -> ??

[lone rapids]

Is there a way to get a full acess to 1point3acres without paying that 76 a month

Apple referral dont do shit

[autumn ridge]

[ebon quiver]

[tardy geode]

no jobs to apply , this is the worst fear of an international student like me . i am having a very hard time staying sane and at peace .

[lone rapids]

How hard is palantir dependency graph oa

[autumn ridge]

their is an OA?

[lone rapids]

Well

They sent me

[somber hamlet]

Then atleast help me with how to crack interview, u r goated cracked

[tardy geode]

there should be something , idc about TC at this point i just need a job

[lone rapids]

[somber hamlet]

No I'm asking train me in general

[lone rapids]

So u guys directly got karat for palantir?

[dense seal]

[teal jackal]

i got a glock in my rari

17 shots no 38

i have a recruiter call in half an hour

i am so stressed

[autumn ridge]

relax look up the company values before or have it on another monitor and just be nice and friendly. Non technical recruiters are generally just checking for no major red flags. You got this!

[glass knoll]

i did it. it's just implementation heavy, but not too hard

[rustic vessel]

I’m taking the wock to Poland

[wind drum]

wait if ur at cmu what's the beef w sweintern

[tawdry skiff]

[teal jackal]

does sweintern have a reputation on campus

[lone rapids]

No

[echo finch]

among? us?

[tardy geode]

bloomberg tagged are cracked smh

[teal jackal]

no recruiters? damn the economy must be bad now

[autumn ridge]

I feel ike the OOD ones are the hardest

[ebon quiver]

no no recruiters 😦

[teal jackal]

at least referrals over nothing

but referrals arent that useful anymore

[last belfry]

Is it guaranteed, you get two vo for bloomberg?

[strange ore]

guys fr is it doomed

[tawdry skiff]

kirb

[echo finch]

ya its so over

[last belfry]

Because my interviewer just said hr will reach out

[lone rapids]

I’m hoping january i can get some offers in decent companies. By that time cracked ppl already accepted their offer so less competition

[echo finch]

@queen valve what about @cmuscs on tiktok

[autumn ridge]

It depends. I think if you skip phone the VO rounds are pass fail so you have to pass first VO to get second

[echo finch]

shes friends with the other one

[last belfry]

I thought that happens after second one

[teal jackal]

im hoping that apply in september ➡️ interview in nov/dec/jan is still possible tbh

[tardy geode]

my friend literally mugged up like the top 100 and has an offer with BB , i can't even digest the fact that he lucked out so so bad that he got all tagged in all the rounds and in his em round no sysdesign . dude started with LC back in july 💀

[autumn ridge]

life is rng

[tardy geode]

mad props to his memory tho lol

[teal jackal]

i honestly got a glock in my rari, i think 17 shots no 38

[echo finch]

they have a pretty even 50/50 split of girls to guys rite

LMFAO

[tardy geode]

i am at this point that i have applied to WITCH companies 💀

[teal jackal]

the game design program at northeastern is 90% men, but cs is 58% men 42% women

[tardy geode]

i interned at a Fortune 100 but didn't get a return coz of hiring freeze @somber hamlet

[echo finch]

every other cs program be like: 20% women 80% men

[tardy geode]

daunts me to this day

[echo finch]

😩

[tardy geode]

😭

[teal jackal]

i feel like women are decently well represented in CS here, but still a minority

[autumn ridge]

is the degree as hard as people say? Like how many hours per week of school/study did you have to average throughout the program

[teal jackal]

i dont think ive seen any woman in cs at northeastern mention the lack of women

[lament summit]

Damn u go to northeastern? U must b p smart

[autumn ridge]

I had a coworker at Snap that said it was the worst 4 years of his life and he had spend 60-80 hours a week just to pass his classes

[teal jackal]

northeastern girls go to mit to party lol, so tru

[zinc bear]

i am so fucking tired of these 3/4/5 hour onsites

[tawdry skiff]

cal is just all fuck bois

[autumn ridge]

dude it's exhausting

[tawdry skiff]

lets be honest

[somber hamlet]

I m tired of system design as entry level sde, I don't have any ft exp

[zinc bear]

how does every company have the audacity

[teal jackal]

bump for admin to see and pin this

[rain patio]

Do they at least give u money for food and travel??

[teal jackal]

roster of what?

[lone rapids]

Would you rather take girls or job offers

[lament summit]

they don’t if u get rejected they send u a copied and pasted template

[autumn ridge]

it's crazy to me. Like why ask sys design to new grads it's not like we have actually designed systems lol. G doesn't even ask sys design until L5. We just have to cram and regurgitate shit we read and have never implemented

[thorn walrus]

bruh what are you talking about

[wind drum]

chase that bag homie

[lament summit]

Job offers lead to money which leads to girls

[rain patio]

Sounds so crazy jesus

[echo finch]

average cscd convo

[lone rapids]

Exactly

[rain patio]

These companies have the nerves lol

[lone rapids]

I need those offers

[rain patio]

We are spending hours on interviews

[teal jackal]

so tru bestie

[zinc bear]

system design interviews r literally pay to win if u buy grokking

[somber hamlet]

I gave 2-3 interview phone screen till now and got asked sys design in all

[lament summit]

Sys design easier than LC imo

[wind drum]

this is just standard elite school culture right

[tawdry skiff]

you dont have a startup

what are you doing

[teal jackal]

i like my college since honestly we have some motivated people, but we dont have the toxic pressure cooker environment from everyone being a tryhard

but my college could really use a bit of school prestige boost(i wish lol)

[tardy geode]

welp i was asked sys design for a swe intern position

[lament summit]

u guys think LC is easier than sys design?

if u put half the work u put into LC into sys design it’s easy

[wind drum]

y'all already got that coop program tho

[thorn walrus]

i can't imagine going to harvard and having that loom over your head all the time

like everytime you mess up

[autumn ridge]

depends on company I think. Like I think BB LC is easier than sys design

[thorn walrus]

"oh they went to harvard"

[teal jackal]

tbh its most useful for idiot underachievers like me who would be hopeless if i was just told "find a job lmao"

[wind drum]

nah i just remember that csmajors post where the guy who went to mit only got google and was depressed

[autumn ridge]

Northeastern is pretty prestigious for CS I feel like with their coop

[thorn walrus]

this wasn't a blind post?

[teal jackal]

we dont get a school prestige boost for 99% of companies, mainly hubspot among big companies that really likes hiring us

[autumn ridge]

That was funny as hell and I don't feel like they were trolling lol

[marble bronze]

Credits for internships or coop = goated

[wind drum]

i kinda get where they're coming from if like their entire circle is going to hfts or something

[teal jackal]

i think peer pressure evolves into toxicity among each other, if the collective culture is one of peer pressure

[thorn walrus]

idk people need to chill

[autumn ridge]

Yeah no I get it too it's just a really great example of how comparing yourself to others can completely warp the true reality of your situation

[thorn walrus]

it's all going to be okayy

[tulip citrus]

Which fidelity office is full?

[marble bronze]

All

[teal jackal]

but at northeastern, we have people who REALLY tryhard, but its really not the majority. i dont want that to change lol

tbh

[marble bronze]

Unless you have an offer or are in the pipeline already, in which case I think Boston but not sure why other

[tulip citrus]

Wtf I have a final fidelity on Friday

[autumn ridge]

I feel like coop is so op though for CS. It forces you to get multiple internships so you are way better prepared when you graduate

[teal jackal]

but tbh ive pretty desensitized because of my tendency towards social isolation, i wouldnt hate to be at a toxic school if it came with school prestige for resume screening

[wind drum]

i got it out of my system early in hs lol everyone in my cs class was so far ahead of me, but half of them ended up at hft anyway so it makes sense

[autumn ridge]

Also cool that NE is doing it bc Waterloo is the only other one I was aware of

[marble bronze]

Yeah so I think Boston is full, the pipeline is shut though is what I meant mb

[tulip citrus]

Ahhh makes sense I was like wtf LOL

[marble bronze]

At least that's what the recruiter told me

[tulip citrus]

Which location were you aiming for

[teal jackal]

i did co-op at small local company -> found an internship at zon on my own

thats all i have tho

[marble bronze]

Boston lol no other location is actually in a city

[teal jackal]

i think both internships give me a lot to talk about for interviews

[tulip citrus]

Yeah true

[teal jackal]

im glad i did 2 internships

[autumn ridge]

yeah I was similar I did ancient web dev intern at university -> defense contractor -> snap but each internship was the reason I was able to get the next one bc I had experience

100%, i might feel like being ex-zon is useless now but thats probably relative to many people here.

[echo finch]

[teal jackal]
