[dusky plover]

We work backwards to solve our customer's problems

[tawdry skiff]

SOLUTIONS

I LOVE SOLUTIONS

[lament summit]

they kept saying that the entire cohort is all the best engineers in the world and how they are the top 20 startups in silicon valley

[tawdry skiff]

YOU WILL LOVE SOLUTIONS

[teal jackal]

anyways i feel like people at forward continue to drink the koolaid because they already fell for it once and theyre held hostage by their stock vesting

[thorn walrus]

💀💀💀

[teal jackal]

golden handcuffs tbh

[last summit]

bro I wanna apply to forward just to waste their time

they have some L behavior fr

[lament summit]

[teal jackal]

they treat recruiter call as a behavioral

[lament summit]

just give them the grapefruit gawk gawk 7000 technique

[tawdry skiff]

listen to some good ass music

[last summit]

stubhub recruiter is hella dead too

[echo finch]

[last summit]

[echo finch]

[thorn walrus]

[tawdry skiff]

what's other option

[dusky plover]

did u have the C guy

[last summit]

YEA

bruh lmaoooo

[dusky plover]

stubhub i feel like they take in resume as consideration for next steps too

[thorn walrus]

everyone ive talked to at db hated interning there

[dusky plover]

after initial phone

[last summit]

Bro C guy @ stubhub dead AF

[lament summit]

would b dumb to renege db for bloomberg

[river scroll]

Do you need to solve all problems optimally to get through Bloomberg

[lament summit]

wework

[thorn walrus]

wait @rich crown were you at discovery day

[teal jackal]

i will be called from my phone any time now

[autumn ridge]

Even if they did become giagantic no way they keep a blacklist for 5+ years lol

[dusky plover]

veeva recruiter and this C guy are the only processes where i didnt move on after r phone

[tawdry skiff]

hmm

[native lantern]

has anyone done palantir Karat interview, if so how many questions did u get through and did that get u to the VO

im trying to figure out whether to take a redo

[dusky plover]

like it felt like they were just going thru a checklist

[river scroll]

Minimum 2

[lament summit]

2.5

[lament summit]

2 is risky, 2.5 is safe

[native lantern]

did u get through VO

[autumn ridge]

I got 3 q's on my redo

[lament summit]

yes

[tawdry skiff]

https://youtu.be/Fblm8kFEZCk?t=91

[native lantern]

i got 3 questions, pseudocoded the third and got first 2 fully

[last summit]

C rejected u?

[lament summit]

i did that and passed

[river scroll]

Anyone ?

[last summit]

he told me on the phone that he has a meeting with the hm after and the hm decides who moves on

[lament summit]

but its late in the season so bar might b higher but i doubt

[crude saffron]

Radix

[last summit]

but he sounded so dead

[native lantern]

one of my friends told me bar is lower

[lament summit]

after hm?

[native lantern]

cuz less people got thru first round

[lament summit]

did u get a job survey

then thats good, job survey seems to usually correlate to an L

[last summit]

schedule a redo always for a week out

they'll cancel if you passed

[lament summit]

thats what happened to me and a couple of friends

[ebon quiver]

soo for the guys that don't have offers

[lament summit]

job survey -> reject next day

[ebon quiver]

what is grad school and what yall gonna major in

[tawdry skiff]

art

[dusky plover]

yea he did

[native lantern]

ah fr?

[dusky plover]

wbu

[ebon quiver]

hmm ok

[autumn ridge]

why would they send job survey and then reject?

[dusky plover]

i felt like the convo went p good tooo

[last summit]

Idk I had a call with him yesterday and im still waiting

[lament summit]

i did mines on a wed, survey friday, sat reject

[last summit]

Yea I talked quite a lot but he was just like "ok. <next question>" and that was it

[dusky plover]

i should apply again to SH

[lament summit]

idk

[last summit]

u should

[dusky plover]

they pay kinda phat

[tawdry skiff]

would go back to play cello

[lament summit]

applied intuition does that as well

[last summit]

this is the way #2023_grad_process message

[autumn ridge]

Also pass rate for palantir HM seems super low. The majority of people at least in this discord haven't passed.

[lament summit]

[tawdry skiff]

fuck office work

[lament summit]

this

[tawdry skiff]

I want out

[dusky plover]

WAIT HOLY SHIT

[lament summit]

its dumb i have no idea how they select their candidates for hm

[last summit]

stubhub down bad on blind tho

[dusky plover]

did u already have a previous phone with SH @last summit

[last summit]

no I had an oa and tossed the bag

applied again and got phone

[dusky plover]

ic

[dusky plover]

holy fuck that is rly bad

[lament summit]

maybe

[last summit]

yea i didnt even realize until after the call but it literally makes sense with how trash the recruiter is

[lament summit]

i thought i aced pltr lol then rejected on a saturday with no explanation

[autumn ridge]

Is the HM round with the actual manager for the team you would join?

[solemn crag]

Should I be asking Palantir recruiter which position I am interviewing for at the hr call

Cuz I applied to both

[lament summit]

super positive

[solemn crag]

Intern and FTE

[lament summit]

she was laughing and joking with me

[lament summit]

what did u apply to

[solemn crag]

I feel like she might think I am trolling and rej me

Internship and FTE

[autumn ridge]

Oh damn then I guess that makes more sense. Assuming I don't bomb something technical I think I can tell a really good story/fit for anything on apollo but otherwise might be tougher

[lament summit]

ohh yeah i would ask

[last summit]

Has anyone had their palantir decomp scheduled in the past week

[subtle vortex]

My Tiktok portal shows "written test" for a role, but I haven't gotten an OA from them, did it happen to anyone fo you?

[autumn ridge]

I have HM this upcoming Mon

[last summit]

prolly getting it next round

[solemn crag]

Or maybe just wait for the offer letter manifest itself

[autumn ridge]

ty ty same to you. I'm sure you got it!

[solemn crag]

Apollo Gotham and Foundry, which takes intl students

[autumn ridge]

I'm assuming gotham is a no go bc it's defense and you would need sec clearance. Everything else wouldn't need a clearance

[solemn crag]

Huh cuz my friend (intl) got Gotham

And he turned down for Uber

[thorn walrus]

palantir naming

[autumn ridge]

I mean they might have some special way to get intl students able to work on it or they could work on non cleared work inside gotham. I interned at a defense contractor without a clearance but I could only work on certain things

[solemn crag]

Idk bro

He just got assigned to Gotham

No clearance asked

[wind drum]

just got mine scheduled for next thursday after rainchecking it last thurs

[solemn crag]

I hope he could have just slipped that fat Gotham offer to me

[autumn ridge]

is the pay the same at palantir between the positions that require a clearance and ones that don't?

[thorn walrus]

does anyone have numbers on palantir comp

levels accurate?

[wind drum]

god that sounds so nice in nyc

[autumn ridge]

or seattle

[crude saffron]

Is there difference between Gotham and foundry

[autumn ridge]

cheaper housing + no state income tax

[crude saffron]

Numbers

[wind drum]

why

[autumn ridge]

yeah gotham is for governments/defense foundry is for other companies

[last summit]

ya i would

[wind drum]

ah hmm yeah for location i would

[crude saffron]

Biased

[last summit]

based*

[thorn walrus]

depends how long theyve been together

agreed

[zinc bear]

i taught my ex how to leetcode lol

[wind drum]

radix does nyc

[thorn walrus]

uh don't u have bb

[crude saffron]

You gave up a lot more than 100 lol

[last summit]

nah nvm im not doing all this

[last belfry]

How long does it take for bloom to get back after vo 1 just did it today, got both questions right

[crude saffron]

Water company was good but also a sweatshop

[tawdry skiff]

https://youtu.be/Fblm8kFEZCk?t=91

[crude saffron]

It’s fine

[dire ore]

Yeah Ik Optiver marbles system is insane

Optiver Engineering manager with 7 yoe 1.7 million TC

[crude saffron]

They got better than optiver

[wind drum]

they flying you out?

[crude saffron]

Ex gqs

[crude saffron]

Nice

[teal jackal]

Ok I think I went on too long about my experience at Amazon with my intern project

[crude saffron]

Ftx

[last summit]

ftx

[teal jackal]

I said way too much that I almost started forgetting what I was even talking about

But I think I said "I care about impact and meaningful work" like 37000 times

[last summit]

ftx.com

[crude saffron]

Coinbase but good

[last summit]

[wind drum]

why this look kinda fun

[last summit]

its concerning to me that nobody around him seems phased at all

like he clearly does that all the time

[wind drum]

omg just like japan fr

salaryman sleep at desk

[crude saffron]

I will buy a big plushie with my signing

[teal jackal]

thanks famsquad

[tawdry skiff]

which one?

I need to get a lovesac

[teal jackal]

i recorded my side of the interview, im just going to re-listen to it, analyze my answers and take notes on it, and delete the recording after im done taking notes

[teal jackal]

"Pro Tip: You'll never lose women chasing money but you will always lose money chasing women!"

[thorn walrus]

this server sometimes lol

[teal jackal]

im straight up quoting the video

i think the quote is absurd lol

it was amusing in a "wtf" way

[stark topaz]

Guys for c1, if I got video interview email, does it mean I passed codesignal?

[teal jackal]

its the final right?

[stark topaz]

cappfinity thing not final

[teal jackal]

wait c1 has that now?

thats ass

anyways u passed

[timber rock]

Make sure u research the company a lot before

[teal jackal]

cappfinity is evil

but try your best

make sure you understand the company

dont wing it

[timber rock]

They asked me stuff like what's something you've seen c1 do in the news which put them ahead of their competitors

[narrow violet]

Ouch, I’d be so stunned if I got asked something like that lol

[teal jackal]

ok im failing that shit then

id be FUCKEDA

[celest warren]

anyone done atlassian phone

[runic wind]

Why tf do they have those shitty Ikea chairs wtf

Atleast get them Herman Millers

[last summit]

the founder and ceo is in the frame sleeping on two bean bags and you're concerned about their taste in chairs?

[narrow violet]

Did mine yesterday

[crystal granite]

does bloomberg call to reject

[teal jackal]

id bring a gaming chair

[narrow violet]

At that point I’d just have my bed in there tbh

[runic wind]

Not sure which person's back is suffering more tbh

Ikea vs bean bags

[bronze nymph]

no

[crystal granite]

LFG

[pure steeple]

what does optiver austin comp look like? couldn't find anything on levels

[sudden depot]

has anyone heard back from okta?

[crystal granite]

do u know how long they give you to accept?

bloomberg

[stone kettle]

250 interns wtf

[marble bronze]

Or new grad

[stone kettle]

oh interns/new grad

is there any downside to waiting until the day before deadline to accept an offer?

ive heard u could get ur offer rescinded before deadline lol

[tawdry skiff]

it might go away

[stone kettle]

thats so bs /;

[tawdry skiff]

especially in this economy

[stone kettle]

so if my deadline is 2 weeks away

i should ideally accept within 1 week?

not taking any risks?

[crude saffron]

Wot

I didn’t know this was a thing

[austere grove]

most places dont have as much tc growth as optiver

and even for optiver, you cant just assume you're going to enter as a new grad and in 7 yeras become a manager

ur competing with like 15 other people for that same spot

[runic wind]

Hopefully atleast 5 will leave to live with their SO

[indigo canopy]

can anyone give me tips on what the coding design interview is like for atlassian? 🥺

[ebon quiver]

sp guys not looking good

[floral plank]

Lmao a Palantir recruiter reached out on handshake despite getting rejected after final

[crude saffron]

Lol

[split plaza]

[tardy geode]

what happened?

[split plaza]

Also did you get a tagged question for your HM

[hard cobalt]

Did anyone have a phone screen with okta?

[teal jackal]

no legit company can do that
r...iiiiigghhhttttt..............?

i was today years old when i learned that you could freeroam in walking mode in beamng.drive

wow

i will be using that a lot

[floral plank]

My bad I mean on-site

[split plaza]

Ah

[floral plank]

But still funny either way

[split plaza]

This is so obnoxious

Imagine getting all the way to HM and getting boned by an LC hard in 30 minutes

[weak latch]

Anyone else get a bunch of Goldman Sachs “there was an update for your app”

That’s gonna be a reject isn’t it

[hasty birch]

Yup lol

[weak latch]

Of course lmfao

Whyyyy tho

I sent a perfect OA

[split plaza]

Did you get through all the problems in learning

[floral plank]

They seem to be interviewing no one

[late kestrel]

theyre struggling pretty bad rn too, especially after layoffs

[uncut umbra]

yessir, got 3 of them back to back lmao

[solemn crag]

This happened to me for Roblox as well

[floral plank]

Same, they reached out to me a week ago

And I told them I did the OA and got rejected and they were like apply again next time

[solemn crag]

I still don't know how to do the freaking deer infection question

So will still fail next time

[ivory stratus]

the first deer infection is fine

but the second one is just cancer

[foggy perch]

ip

rip

[floral plank]

Do they give this to people to in later roles?

[foggy perch]

i'm just banking on not having to do Roblox OA next time I apply

[floral plank]

Like would a senior engineer have to do this to get the job

[foggy perch]

probs not

i'd guess

[floral plank]

Well glad I don’t have to do that then

[foggy perch]

I think they give a lot more rounds/interviews to more senior people though

[dense seal]

what approach do you use to solve the deer q

[foggy perch]

when I looked it up I saw reports of people having to do like 5-6 rounds

[foggy perch]

guessing and praying

[last belfry]

Did you do your onsite today? For bloomberg

[floral plank]

It seems that resume matters the most

[foggy perch]

eh

it's considered separately

they only look at OA

then they look at resume

[dense seal]

yeah feeling the vibe ig

[floral plank]

Nah mine is tomorrow

[last belfry]

Ok 👍

[uncut umbra]

[ebon quiver]

i got waitlisted brhe

[lilac siren]

they start to move people out

[ebon quiver]

RLLY

WHEN

[bronze nymph]

heard it's $3 this year

[ebon quiver]

wait what does application submitted mean

[ripe marsh]

Nope but my final was just last week

[lilac siren]

several people got moved to a DB team in east palo alto

[ivory stratus]

usually offer

[ebon quiver]

my final was like 2-3 weeks ago

[ebon quiver]

bruh i have that

[lilac siren]

one hour ago

[bronze nymph]

serious answer tho, i think it's super team dependent

[ripe marsh]

Lmfao congrats

[bronze nymph]

anywhere from 150k ca to 250k seattle

[ebon quiver]

no but like

[ivory stratus]

daaaaaamn

[lilac siren]

which team and where

[ripe marsh]

At least same boat

[ivory stratus]

hows interview process?

[ebon quiver]

i got a waitlist email

[ebon quiver]

AWS, they didnt tell me where

[bronze nymph]

also team dependent, apple is a black box

[weak latch]

App submitted can be a waitlist too btw

[ebon quiver]

did u get this ?

[weak latch]

I saw a bunch of people last year even get moved to another location before getting waitlisted

[ebon quiver]

wait bruh

this is sad

why cant i get off waitlist and other people can

🫥

[ripe marsh]

Depends also if you’re ICT2 or ICT3

If you’re in hardware org you’ll almost definitely start ICT2. If you’re AI/ML org, sometimes Software org, or a Grad student new grad, it’s possible to get ICT3 which is a higher pay band

[weak latch]

As of rn because of the waitlist existing you don’t rly know if you have an offer until you get the letter

[ripe marsh]

Nope

[ebon quiver]

wait what do u guys suggest like

am i just fucked

or should i follow up with recruiter or sm

[ivory stratus]

but if you got wl and app hasn't changed to submitted until a few weeks after, it should mean offer yeah?

[weak latch]

Possibly

[ripe marsh]

That’s what I was thinking

[weak latch]

Moved to another location is a better indication

Of offer

At the bottom of the portal

[ebon quiver]

guys what do u suggest i do tho

[ripe marsh]

Mine was both

[weak latch]

You should’ve accepted c3.ai job

[ebon quiver]

sigh fuck

[ripe marsh]

Just wait

[ivory stratus]

lol just take it and grind lc

[ebon quiver]

ima email recruter

[ebon quiver]

its not even swe breh

[weak latch]

That’s a good indication of an offer but because of the current situation can’t be too sure

[ebon quiver]

im not taking no non swe job

[ivory stratus]

what is it?

[ripe marsh]

Kk ty

[weak latch]

Until you get the offer in the portal

[ebon quiver]

solutions engineering

[weak latch]

It’s up in the air

But most likely offer

[ebon quiver]

u one lucky ass bitch breh

[ivory stratus]

oh yeah screw that

[ebon quiver]

but congrats

[weak latch]

Alex 🐐

[ebon quiver]

im actually gonna follow up with my recruiter tho

this is gay

[weak latch]

Amazon recruiter?

[ripe marsh]

Grass is always greener I still want G 🥲

[weak latch]

It’s pointless

Amazon recruiters won’t do shit

[ebon quiver]

it is 😦

[weak latch]

If you follow up

[ebon quiver]

but then

[weak latch]

Sameeeeee

[ebon quiver]

who can do sm

[weak latch]

There’s nothing you can do

[ebon quiver]

dont u dare be ungrateful

[weak latch]

You’re on the waitlist, it’s in the name, wait

[ebon quiver]

i refuse

[ripe marsh]

😂

[weak latch]

Dude google is pissing me off

[ripe marsh]

I’m not grateful until I get that offer letter

[weak latch]

I sent my OA so long ago

But they still haven’t invited me to on-site

[ripe marsh]

I never got to apply to G I didn’t know the app opened when it did

[weak latch]

I heard thru the grapevine they might open again this month or next March

☠️

[ripe marsh]

Hope it reopens later yeah

[weak latch]

I only got in because of a recruiter

[ripe marsh]

I’ll happily renege if so

[weak latch]

Facts I’d renege anyone for google lmfao

[ripe marsh]

Even apple?

[weak latch]

Yes

[ripe marsh]

gg

I respect it

[weak latch]

I talk like I can actually get apple lmfao

[hasty birch]

Too many Google simps

[weak latch]

I’m outside of T50 schools so no chance for apple

[ripe marsh]

Not true imo

[hasty birch]

Apple has consistently ghosted me

[weak latch]

I’ve never even gotten a response out of apple every time I applied

Yeah same

[ripe marsh]

Apple is hard to place because every team is genuinely so different

[weak latch]

Yet there’s guys in here who get recruiter reach out on linky bc of T5 privilege 💀💀

[ripe marsh]

Yeahhh

[weak latch]

It’s so rough

I think I’d take apple internship over everything

Even google

[hasty birch]

Only ppl who have moved on in G process are those ppl

[weak latch]

But for new grad google is king

[hasty birch]

As far as I know

[weak latch]

Then there’s me who cold reached out and somehow got into the pipeline 💀

[ripe marsh]

I was apple intern so that prob helped

[weak latch]

There was a dude in the google discord

Who took the OA about a week before me

Said he only answered 1 question out of 2

And got on-site invite 2 days later

[teal jackal]

Tbh t5 privilege is legit, I think we had that convo earlier

[ripe marsh]

Lmfao

[weak latch]

Meanwhile I sent a perfect OA a month ago and nothing

[ripe marsh]

Maybe the interviewer just liked him

[teal jackal]

Nah that's weird af

Bad rng

[weak latch]

Not even an interviewer 😭😭😭

[ripe marsh]

Oh it’s OA mb

[weak latch]

I think I just timed it terribly

My OA was sent right at the end of Q3/start of Q4

[teal jackal]

Or maybe recruiter was told "you're not supposed to accept cold emails in this economy"

[weak latch]

So I’d fall into the Q4 headcount if given an interview

[teal jackal]

Jk

[ebon quiver]

has anyone had an interview from scale

[teal jackal]

I'm bullshitting

[dense cloud]

do T5 schools really teach way better

my school is teaching nothing

[ripe marsh]

Yeah awful timing for 2023 grads all around

[weak latch]

Meaning they have to get rid of all the other people in the pipeline currently to see if they have enough space to even interview me

[solemn crag]

T5 in undergrad or T5 in cs?

[dense cloud]

CS

[solemn crag]

What is the 5th school lol

[teal jackal]

No, it's that t5 and even t10 students usually get better outreach from companies

[weak latch]

I was really surprised to see UIUC as top 2

[dense cloud]

i have no idea

[solemn crag]

CMU Stanford Cal MIT

UIUC?

[lilac siren]

lol

[ripe marsh]

I think T5 CS schools do teach dramatically more content speaking from my carnegie friend’s experience but they’re overworked and hate their life so idk

[slender apex]

berk

[solemn crag]

idk most of my Cal friends have less reachouts than me

[teal jackal]

I feel like the knowledge doesn't matter that much

[lilac siren]

I believe there could be more than 10 schools saying they are top5

[weak latch]

The top 5 are
Carnegie Mellon
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
MIT
UC San Diego
Stanford

[slender apex]

i heard berkley gets bb in person

[teal jackal]

If you're smart enough you'll catch up on the job in no time

[teal jackal]

San Diego? Sus

[solemn crag]

My Cal friends got ghosted by BB

[teal jackal]

U sure it's not ucb

[solemn crag]

[tawdry skiff]

No cal?

[ivory stratus]

That’s what ramp up is for

[slender apex]

yeah

[tawdry skiff]

[slender apex]

ucb > ucsd

[ripe marsh]

Def

[slender apex]

idk abt that one cheif

[tawdry skiff]

They must go to uscd

[weak latch]

It’s right here lol

[slender apex]

bruh

usnews is better i think?

[teal jackal]

Northeastern W, but csrankings is worthless

[ripe marsh]

Harvard CS is extremely strong too but not so much ranking wise

[hasty birch]

This is based on grad school

[solemn crag]

ok Stanford is the 5th

[ripe marsh]

Rankings only tell you so much

[hasty birch]

And papers published

[weak latch]

Oooooooo

Ooop

[tawdry skiff]

Oh I remember this aite

[solemn crag]

Very based

[tawdry skiff]

Yeah it's for research/grad

[weak latch]

The us news one is
MIT
CMU
Stanford
UC Berkeley
UIUC

[tardy geode]

can anyone help me out in the #leetcode_discussion ?

[tawdry skiff]

That makes more sense e

[ripe marsh]

Yeah sounds about right

[crude saffron]

Rankings don’t matter

[uncut umbra]

from what I know at being around these unis, this is the top 4 for sure

[crude saffron]

I know cracked mofos at 17-ut and retards at 1-cmu

[weak latch]

Okay the usnews list has to be cap it says UF is higher than UCF and that’s just wrong

[tawdry skiff]

Rankings matter to get first job/first internship

[uncut umbra]

can confirm

[tawdry skiff]

Outside of that, it's a good networking tool

[uncut umbra]

tier 1 is cmu, mit, cal, stanford

tier 2 is princeton, cornell, uiuc, ut austin, gtech and maybe caltech

[crude saffron]

Just go to places with low resume bar

Like js

[uncut umbra]

but you can be outside of those and still get cracked offers

but it will be more of a luck game to get past the resume screen unless you are just a popper on personal projects/TAing/research

[lament summit]

Gotchu

[teal jackal]

UT is a great school

[uncut umbra]

gm offer came through - 84k base, 8.4k bonus

[crude saffron]

Yes

[uncut umbra]

it's nothing major, but in lcol it's not bad

[serene fable]

What other places have a low resume bar?

[crude saffron]

Idk for swe

[fair zephyr]

gm?

[crude saffron]

I can’t pass any swe resume bar

[serene fable]

What about outside of swe?

[teal jackal]

Detroit?

Congrats on your first offer tho

[lament summit]

Palantir

[teal jackal]

I wonder what the employee discount there is on a camaro zl1

[late kestrel]

now you can build me a car 🥺 @uncut umbra

[teal jackal]

Tbh palantir interviews a lot since they weed like 98% out during the process itself

[crude saffron]

Trading

[uncut umbra]

general motors

[uncut umbra]

lmao I can barely buy a car

[teal jackal]

I think hrt resume bar from my impression is reasonable

At least summer 2022

[slender apex]

yeah

[late kestrel]

yeah thats why i said build silly goose

[slender apex]

im p sure some comps exclusively hire from ivy and top tech school

[serene fable]

I thought trading resume screened even harder than tech though

[crude saffron]

Js interviewed me when I was pre med

[solemn crag]

Rejected after first phone interview😭 I really don't know how yield and return work together in python

[teal jackal]

I've met a Harvard kid who, like me, is a total underachiever

[uncut umbra]

I have gotten resume rejected from js with top5 cs + amazon internship + functional programming TA + went to on-campus event

[teal jackal]

The interview bar is the weeder

[slender apex]

damn son

[fresh lagoon]

pretty sure all the big trading firms will ignore school if u have good experience, maybe not the small ones

[uncut umbra]

maybe I was just late in the process but like

wtf

[teal jackal]

So they take on a lot

[solemn crag]

Meta intern twice + perfect OAs -> resume rej from all hfts except hrt, which rej after phone

I think they really want previous hft experiences

[crude saffron]

Most places aren’t hiring that much this year

[fresh lagoon]

idk either ur unlucky or 2023 is just hard

[crude saffron]

For dev at least

[late kestrel]

AW HELL NAH

[tardy geode]

thanks fam

[late kestrel]

get this uline shit off my page

disgusting company 🤢

[dense cloud]

doesnt five rings only hire out of mit or something

[serene fable]

What's uline?

[fresh lagoon]

last yr i got interview from all the big ones but js with bad school and faang

[teal jackal]

Inchresting

Weird

[crude saffron]

Ez to say when ur school has a js feeder course smh

[teal jackal]

I had hrt interview last year with just one local company

[tardy geode]

i solved browser history design question on my own , i can't believe this

[teal jackal]

Damn dude you're from a t5?

[slender apex]

cracked

[dense cloud]

so whats the fifth

[tardy geode]

honestly i can't believe this , i used to suck on design questions

[uncut umbra]

yeah well I have def taken hard courses at this fucking uni

[uncut umbra]

congrats! the only reason I haven't stopped leetcode is cause I'm chasing those highs

[tardy geode]

this is the first design question i have solved without looking at the discussion page

[slender apex]

wait

does JS exclude non top5

cuz im in the process rn and im not from t5

[uncut umbra]

arggghhhh, oh well

guess I suffer

wait which course at cmu is the feeder? os?

which albert, there are tons of 'em lol

goddamnit

I was gonna take compilers

ye, tall asian mf

I can kinda guess

compilers/os double wield

ffs

almost as hard as is/cs with another minor /s

[dense cloud]

t5 privilege is real

i literally learnt nothing from school 💀

[slender apex]

wtf

[uncut umbra]

t5 privilege is usually about getting past resume screens, but it does exist

berkeley is top5

also the guy I talked with on-campus was from yale

[lone rapids]

How hard is it to get into a t5 school for masters + TA

[uncut umbra]

so outside of top5, yes, but you have to be cream of the crop anywhere

for cs???

no this discussion is focusing on how good schools are for cs

all g

if you want to get into engineering caltech is the wave, but cmu > caltech for cs specifically

[crude saffron]

Compilers was a fun course

[uncut umbra]

any "good" or top tier uni is going to have at baseline a tier 3 or smth cs dept

since it's so popular

yeah cause they dual in wharton

I would have to do 3 cs classes plus compilers next sem

not a chance

[slender apex]

no shot

[uncut umbra]

no absolutely not

actually

a friend of mine who wanted to take os this sem told me to overload with os

this semester

the fucking

bastard sem from hellworld where I'm grinding apps like a mf

and put the 30 hours a week of os on top of that

fuck that shit

[vestal pelican]

No

[slender apex]

ah ok

thought i was getting scammed

bet bet

[vestal pelican]

I know someone who went to UCF or something and got a phone at Jane street

[uncut umbra]

compilers is more general iirc

[uncut umbra]

cracked individual

cornell?

ik that cornell requires you take os

ahh I see

[crude saffron]

Any course u put on resume is fair game to ask Q’s about fyi

[tawdry skiff]

I'm glad berk is catching on

I got so much hate using berk instead of cal

lost to the trees

lost the axe

big f

[teal jackal]

Fuq

Now I actually have to relearn systems and networks

[tawdry skiff]

also campus is weird

walk around and you see old and brand new drip builidngs

unit 1 gang rise up

fuck unit 3

[thorny crown]

go bears

[tawdry skiff]

go bears

[fervent drift]

yall wanna see something? check #2023_grad_process

[thorny crown]

keep your chin up man

you only need 1

[lilac locust]

would you consider free contribution to 401k as TC

[teal jackal]

Nah

Since that shit is like deferring spending your money until you're an old ass geezer

[thorny crown]

depends on your situation if you're going to max out your 401k every year for sure then yea sure count it

but if u needa be liquid buy a house etc not gonna be saving 20k yearly then no

[lilac locust]

lmao

i was thinking about pulling the idea of using 401k then pull it out as a roth through some trick someone at vanguard tole me

penalty free

somehow

[lilac locust]

i see i see lol

im trying to negotiate but i have nothing to base on (the offers arent coming lol, so i need to factor smth else in)

[zenith moss]

Anyone know if Amazon does location

[sudden depot]

has anyone else heard back from expedia after taking their OA?

[strange ore]

check #2023_grad_process

[solemn crag]

My OA went travelling around the world ig

[maiden ice]

Anyone know what the process for benchling is like

[last belfry]

Is the second vo on campus for Bloomberg same as first one?

[slender apex]

bro every time I see the words "after careful consideration" I go through the stages of grief

[iron lily]

a few people have based on the process tracking channel

[sudden depot]

yea I see that. idk what to think of not getting a response at this point lol

[cold matrix]

[slender apex]

nyc was also a big factor for me

[outer radish]

i've got three midterms this week and im 100% not prepared for my interviews next week

[floral plank]

I hate when you sacrifice school for interviews and still do bad on them

[dusky plover]

yea this midterms week blows ass bro

[floral plank]

It is the worst

[outer radish]

LMAO MOOD

[dusky plover]

im reviewing for mt rn

[floral plank]

Palantir system design was a pain to study for

[outer radish]

this is just mad stupid ngl

like im doing work that im 100% never going to use ever again

[dusky plover]

how did u prep for sys des?

[floral plank]

I reviewed the primer guide on GitHub and saw some mock interviews

[dusky plover]

ahh same

i also tried rpamp

pramp

[floral plank]

Same

[outer radish]

yo how much lc are you guys putting up

[dusky plover]

i used to do 4 everyday consistently but been lacking a bit now with school and everything

[floral plank]

I pretty much just do lc if I have an OA or interview coming up

[autumn ridge]

I try to do the daily and some tagged questions before an interview but that's about it. I should do more but I'm just burnt out

[last belfry]

Anyone that has done bloomberg onsite 2 is it same as vo1?

[autumn ridge]

yes

[last belfry]

So just lc tagged?

[crystal granite]

gl, mine is next thursday lol

[last belfry]

Good luck!!!

[last belfry]

Vo2?

[formal fable]

190k for new grad this year in NYC. Confirmed from multiple sources

[outer radish]

ngl rough rn but your boys grinding for these interviews

[lament summit]

someone got 230

[lament summit]

proof

[bronze nymph]

google 0 contest

[formal fable]

Someone got 255k as well apparently. I'm just giving the most common figure I've noticed

[lament summit]

ah gotcha

[autumn ridge]

155k base, 17.5k bonus, 10k relo for non negotiated offers

[bronze nymph]

++, most people won't be getting the crazy offers, although it's very doable to nego 20-30k sign on y1

[autumn ridge]

Bonus sounds way better than it is though bc you don't get full bonus until feb 2025 in you start summer 2023

you get half first year relative to how many months of the calander year you work

[formal fable]

I can confirm what I've been saying all this time. You aren't getting shit by your "negotiating skills" this year. Every single BB offer north of 200k had a strong competing offer.

[autumn ridge]

Did I say anything about my negotiating skills or where you talking more general?

[formal fable]

I got off the call with the recruiter, and she basically told me this after 3-4 days off deliberation, "if you have a competing offer from a Google or something, we can consider 20-30k more"

[cold matrix]

u'll have to take my word for it 🙂

[autumn ridge]

I think it's dumb as hell to attempt to negotiate without a competitive offer

[formal fable]

In general. Cause a lot will go into negotiations thinking talking smart will make a difference. But all data points towards competitive offer raising the bar

That's the most common figure I've heard from like 5 candidates already, 2 of whom I know personally with an MS degree

[ivory stratus]

It doesn’t hurt though
