Tbh working out isn't the best use of everyone's effort in life

uncut umbra
#

pull up, no. push up, I have been able to do 15 at once when my wrist isn't aching

#

and then the wrist goes lol

sonic coral
#

Being able to do a pull up if you can’t is a really good goal imo, you can work up to it and it’ll make you a lot healthier

uncut umbra
#

planking is much more enjoyable for me tbh, mainly cause I can double my time if I'm listening to music

uncut umbra
#

start by just hanging off of the bar

teal jackal
uncut umbra
#

I used to barely last 5 seconds, now I can do 20 - 30 even if it hurts

teal jackal
#

But not past that

uncut umbra
#

and I still can't really do a pull up lol

teal jackal
#

Pull up is crazy hard, few people are born with that natural ability

#

Most people had to work for it

sonic coral
#

Yeah and progress to negative hangs where you stand on a box or something to boost yourself up and hold the up position

teal jackal
#

So true lol

sonic coral
teal jackal
#

Gonna be a LONG time before I get an offer

sonic coral
#

Literally anyone can do a pullup if they work for it

uncut umbra
#

FACTS

teal jackal
#

I'm not hopeful about getting an offer before new years

teal jackal
#

Everyone has to work hard for it

#

Omg so true

uncut umbra
#

me looking at my list: "well, guess I'm never doing that shit"

sonic coral
teal jackal
#

Yeah

#

Tbh I put on muscle slowly past a certain point

#

But I can pick up starting strength very quickly

#

If I keep it a routine

crude saffron
#

Take anabolic steroids

narrow violet
#

Or workout and eat in a slight calorie surplus

crude saffron
#

Too much work

narrow violet
#

Lmao

crude saffron
#

Steroids are like doing lc tagged

teal jackal
#

Yeah bodybuilding is basically leetcode for your body

#

You clearly have to put a lot of effort into it if you want it to go anywhere

knotty talon
rain patio
#

js offer so u left amazon server?

teal jackal
#

Yeah idek what a steroid is

knotty talon
teal jackal
#

It seems like so much research and trial and error, figuring out a good routine

knotty talon
#

least obsessed cscareerdevs user:

teal jackal
#

And figuring out the diet, and nutrition to get it to work

#

Unironically if u think the career grindset costs a lot of mental effort

#

Yeah bodybuilding is basically the physical equivalent of that

knotty talon
#

lifting is fun tho

#

well i guess it depends

#

but i like lifting

teal jackal
#

Maybe after my Job hop to a big n company I'll try working out and bodybuilding

knotty talon
#

whereas LCing just feels like busywork sometimes

teal jackal
#

I dislike lifting, it's a chore like doing the laundry to me

knotty talon
#

i c

#

i guess ymmv

night magnet
#

Do everything you want don’t make one goal your end all

#

Learned this the hard way

knotty talon
#

in general it's also nice to switch out from "schoolwork" type of stuff. as in lifting is another type of activity whereas LCing just feels like more coursework to me

teal jackal
#

Tbh I say that because working out is a low priority to me

#

I don't really care for it

night magnet
#

Fair

teal jackal
#

I feel no urgency to work out

night magnet
#

Same

#

If u actually wanna do it

#

What worked is making it a habit

teal jackal
#

Once I get my biggest priorities out of the way I'll work on ones that are less important to me

#

I still need exercise though

#

Fuck

#

Might as well start working out

#

My main problem is that I do not know how to work out

#

Developing a good routine is stressful unless you outright copy someone online

#

And I dislike the imposter syndrome at the gym

#

I am scrawny as hell with my upper body

#

I honestly if I stay at home as a new grad I'm probably going to buy a bench and squat rack

#

And work out at home

#

I dislike the gym more than I dislike lifting

knotty talon
#

well first of all

#

copy someone online

#

and second of all while the routine is important, consistency is like 80 times more important

#

honestly

#

ive seen people with shitty ass routines who still look good and have built decent strength because they are consistent

#

could they be better? yea

#

but at the end of the day the difference ist not as much as people make it imo

teal jackal
#

I feel like at least going every week is enough to get stronger

#

Yeah I get it

teal jackal
#

It's too easy to quit

#

Even a crappy routine will be decent if you keep doing it

knotty talon
#

yea

teal jackal
#

Anyways, the campus gym psychologically stresses me out

#

I hope I can get a job offer in Boston so I can just work out in my parents basement

#

I'm planning on buying a squat rack and bench

#

If I ever have to move because of my job hop I'll probably sell the equipment, my parents have no use for it

#

I don't want to leave them with my shit

knotty talon
#

or get ur gymbros to go with u

teal jackal
#

I wouldn't hate lifting as much if I didn't hate the gym

#

I dislike having to go

#

I can't install a bench and squat rack in an apartment

#

So only choice is to go to the gym

#

I'm gonna try waking up super early

#

While nobody is there

#

In the future

#

Like 6am

#

3 hour buffer before work starts

#

That is doable

#

👍

#

Good plan for me

#

Gym is packed at 6 and 7pm

sonic coral
teal jackal
#

6am should be chill

knotty talon
#

diet prolly more than that but facts

teal jackal
#

Consistency should be enough to brute force your way into strength

#

It's like not studying leetcode past a certain point and just sometimes taking the L on interviews

#

You'll get somewhere but not at the same pace

sonic coral

#

Yeah if location is important then why not

#

Btw what did Bloomberg give you after negotiating using Roblox offer?

knotty talon
#

👀

austere grove
#

i dont ahve a bloomberg offer lol

#

i just have a final

#

that got scheduled over a month after my phone

#

im pretty confident ill get it but i feel like they'll finish bhiring before i do

crude saffron
#

Roblox 220 at 250?

teal jackal
#

Tbh yield rates for hiring now are unprecedentedly high

#

This year

wheat seal

He is nyc simp

wheat seal
teal jackal
#

What do you mean run out

#

Like they'll cancel existing interviews?

wheat seal
#

it could go later

#

im just saying that because a lot more ppl are applying this year to bbg

#

because big tech isnt hiring as much

teal jackal
#

Man I just want a job

#

Why did I have to graduate into the worst market since 2008

#

I'm probably going to buy mw2 so I can relive the full recession experience

#

Call of duty + shit economy

#

Childhood moment

#

A core memory am I right

timber rock
#

Yeah but think on the bright side. For the rest of your career you can feel superior tp other people who complain about jobs like "oh you think your life is hard? I graduated in 2023"

teal jackal
#

That's true man

#

Class of 2023 is probably going to dominate the upwards growth to become top of the corporate ladder

#

Because the new grad process hardened us

grizzled bronze
austere grove

#

levels better

austere grove
#

the problem with levels is they divide the signing bonus by 4

ivory stratus
#

Yeah just use levels

austere grove
#

or dont include various bonuses/cash benefits

#

which makes it annoying

#

yeah fr

I just ask people in the process channel, and they always let me know

# austere grove the problem with levels is they divide the signing bonus by 4

At the end of the day, the actual TC is what you net annually. That's the number that accurately reflects your income, and therefore, it makes sense for manipulative numbers like total stock over 4 years to be divided by 4. Similarly, I do not consider relocation/sign-on to be really part of your annual TC, as you are making a decision for your career for a few years ahead at least, not just the current one.

fossil jewel
austere grove
#

i think a lot of people make mistakes in entering TC there

#

levels needs to add a field for signing bonus

fossil jewel

levels does make it a bit weird ngl

teal jackal

palantir is not that bad its just graffs

lone rapids
#

graphs are okayish those dp and other stuff are not okay for me. I'm gonna do really bad on this karat I feel like

gleaming fable
#

Its pretty good but I think they front loaded it and it gets worse as it goes on, especially once they add in armored enemies its really fucking annoying

#

Like I wanna play a campaign not warzone

teal jackal
#

i dont really play singleplayer games anymore that much

#

mw2 multiplayer seemed like a mixed experience to me

#

and ive given up on getting good at fps games

ivory stratus
#

I really like it so far

#

Feels a lot better than Cold War

sonic coral
gleaming fable
# sonic coral How does it compare to mw2019 campaign

I think its better in that they're clearly giving people what they wanted which was more missions like killhouse, story is pretty straightforward but the heel turns are obvious af if you know the og mw2 campaign lol

#

I can't stress enough how annoying it is for like 50% of all enemies to have full armor + helmet though in the last 1/3 of the campaign, it slows down the gameplay a lot

sonic coral
#

Ohhh by heel turns you mean plot twists?

CSCD #2023_grad_process archetypes:

  1. the guy who threads every reject and asks what round (Sorry to hear that! What round did you get rejected?)
  2. the one who threads every offer and asks for TC (Congrats!! Location? TC Breakdown?)
  3. the guy who threads every interview and asks for timeline (Timeline? I did my OA 2 years ago and ghosted)
  4. the guy who lies about their process commands as a troll (me KEKW)

Hi all, I got this Apple QA interview for CoreOS team (file systems), any advice? My technical is coming up and they said they will be asking questions about C and "software prototyping" whatever that means in relation to QA.

They are using coderpad.io if that helps.

Quick question for anyone willing to help: Just received an offer from a company (salary not quite what I want). Does it make sense to negotiate the salary using my verbal offer from my last internship as leverage? Or would it be worth reaching out to the company of my last internship saying I have a offer first?

Confluent recruiter let me know I have a second round interview and said

"This interview will be focused on Test Planning & Troubleshooting. For test planning you could expect to have to work through functional testing, scale/ stress testing, performance testing, UI testing, fault testing & security testing. For troubleshooting, you may have to troubleshoot a slow web service/ rendering a web page, troubleshoot a slow file and/ or a slow virtual machine"

guys how do you prepare for the behavioral part of any interview?

uncut umbra

honestly no

#

if there's any android app I'm fixing

it's gonna be reddit

how do u decide what persona is good

uncut umbra
#

the delta between the ios and android versions of reddit is wider than the atlantic

late kestrel
#

you dont understand. dk app is just so so so so so bad

#

YOU DONT GET IT

uncut umbra
#

alternatively, just assume they want someone who is passionate and is willing to put in the grind to complete tasks, while also showing that you have some weaknesses that you have experienced and tried to work on

#

not showing weakness but

#

make sure that you are able to talk about what you can improve

teal jackal
#

what about "tell me about a failure"

uncut umbra
#

like have an answer to "what is a weakness of yours"

teal jackal
#

its such a trick question to me

#

since i feel like they want me to answer like its a temporary setback with a rebound story

#

not an actual failure

uncut umbra
#

you tell them about a time you fucked up, and then tell them about how you tried to/plan to recover from a similar failure in the future

uncut umbra
#

so it's a legit failure but not like breaking prod or anything

teal jackal
#

i feel like ive accepted the fact that in life, there indeed are people out to screw you over just for the sake of it, so you cant act entitled to anything in life

#

i assume every interview is a fail now

sonic coral
#

You know it’s also possible just to be mostly honest on behaviorals while spinning some stuff

teal jackal
#

searching for a new grad job has pretty much detached me from my kinda-friends who i were never that close to begin with tbh

#

i pretty much mentally live in my own world now

#

i see

#

so basically

#

idk

#

i guess i should do my homework before

#

and try to make a best guess as to what the company wants to hear

#

based on the information i scrape about the company

#

idk if theyve responded to a single person yet, but i submitted an 812

#

what does that mean?

#

sorry

#

ah

#

makes sense

#

i know some companies post their values online

#

i should try to work off those

#

u did bloomberg phone, right?

#

do they ask behavioral there

#

or is it just 2 leetcode qs

tardy geode
#

as in ?

tardy geode

gotcha tysm

teal jackal

thanks for the advice, ill prep some answers

are all companies fine taking students graduating in december cuz I see most new grad positions for summer?

i would ideally start new grad early

starting in summer = 5 months to bum around and chill

she asked me some questions about my amazon project

then we did 2 LC meds

and then i got to ask her questions

we went well over an hour

teal jackal

what kinda questions do u ask at the phone screen round?

weak latch
#

I asked

  1. What attracted you to choose Bloomberg for your career?
  2. What about bloomberg makes you stay
  3. (she was a senior engineer) What qualities do your most successful new hires tend to exhibit?
  4. How does Bloomberg typically assist new hires in getting up to speed, what's the expectation?
#

i think i smashed the behavioral bit of the phone but i took an L on the actual screen 💀

#

you probably got screwed by that

weak latch
#

nah

teal jackal

weak latch
#

its her fault bc she spent so long explaining the first question

#

and the first 10 min was more like 15 minutes

#

even tho the first question was tagged lol

#

how would any of us be able to confirm that

#

think about it

#

how would anyone other than bloomberg themselves know that

#

pointless question

#

dont give yourself false hope or false doom by asking questions you'll never know the answer to

#

also its reddit, its probably a lie

late kestrel
#

ong ppl have been saying that since like mid september

fossil jewel
#

lol reddit had a troll saying c1 offers were rescinded

sonic coral
#

Recruiters don’t always have accurate info either

#

Like straight up people hear conflicting things sometimes

weak latch
#

also why would a recruiter tell a cnadidate that anyway

sonic coral
#

You’re not gonna know that info unless you literally have access to their headcount planning slides or something

autumn ridge
#

yeah I agree it's dumb to worry about especially if you are already in an interview loop. As long as the application is open I would assume they are still hiring.

floral plank
#

Where did you hear this?

weak latch
#

literally says reddit in the message big bro

autumn ridge
#

Even if they aren't it's not like it takes a long time to fill out the apps anyways and it doesn't matter if they are "frozen" if you are still in the interview loop. Doesn't make sense to withdraw

dont worry about it

nope, u just have to move there when u start

That can lead to some fuckery with your taxes and is not advised

i mean you're gonna have to prove it

Like most of the hcol areas in the country have high taxes

i wouldnt try to fuck with tax shit

the IRS is too pussy and bitchmade to go after billionaires so they go after us for getting an extra $27 on refunds when filing taxes

sonic coral
#

Tax credit = tax treaties

#

I.E working in ny, living in jersey

#

You pay both taxes then get a tax credit due to the tax treaty

#

If there’s no tax treaty whatsoever then you pay double

ebon quiver
#

@ivory stratus you know anything about this ?"

sonic coral

Yeah that’s a tax treaty basically

ebon quiver
#

ok guess im not doing this cuz im not tryna go to jail for this

Any kind of agreement between two states

Exactly yeah ny and nj have a reciprocal tax agreement

#

I’m saying there’s states that don’t have anything

#

Oh I can’t read lol

#

Huh I guess you’re right

#

I think the more pressing matter with @ebon quiver is the potential tax fraud if they lie about residence tho

ebon quiver
#

gonna move soon

#

ite fuck it im not doing it

sonic coral
#

If you don’t actually move they’ll notice it when you file taxes

rustic vessel
#

Is that couple percent really worth it

sonic coral
#

Since you’ll need to file for the state you actually live in lol

ebon quiver
#

its not a couple % breh

And if you file in state you don’t live in then that’s tax fraud

ebon quiver

oh hmm ok

dont think fucking about with your taxes is a good idea lol
