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
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
planking is much more enjoyable for me tbh, mainly cause I can double my time if I'm listening to music
yessir
start by just hanging off of the bar
I'm able to do that
I used to barely last 5 seconds, now I can do 20 - 30 even if it hurts
But not past that
and I still can't really do a pull up lol
Pull up is crazy hard, few people are born with that natural ability
Most people had to work for it
Yeah and progress to negative hangs where you stand on a box or something to boost yourself up and hold the up position
So true lol
It’s not a natural ability it’s really just upper body strength
Gonna be a LONG time before I get an offer
Literally anyone can do a pullup if they work for it
FACTS
I'm not hopeful about getting an offer before new years
Yeah p much, few people are born with the strength for it immediately
Everyone has to work hard for it
Omg so true
me looking at my list: "well, guess I'm never doing that shit"
I’m not really sure what this means like you can have better genetics that makes it easier to put on muscle but everyone has to exercise to get that strength
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
Take anabolic steroids
Or workout and eat in a slight calorie surplus
Too much work
Lmao
Steroids are like doing lc tagged
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
🧠
js offer so u left amazon server?
Yeah idek what a steroid is
lmao idk why this was so funny
It seems like so much research and trial and error, figuring out a good routine
least obsessed cscareerdevs user:
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
Maybe after my Job hop to a big n company I'll try working out and bodybuilding
whereas LCing just feels like busywork sometimes
I dislike lifting, it's a chore like doing the laundry to me
Don’t do life that that
Do everything you want don’t make one goal your end all
Learned this the hard way
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
Tbh I say that because working out is a low priority to me
I don't really care for it
Fair
I feel no urgency to work out
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
my main advice is
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
This is me
yea
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
gotta go when no ones there
or get ur gymbros to go with u
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
Yep it’s like 70% consistency, 20% diet, 10% program
6am should be chill
diet prolly more than that but facts
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
Yeah 100%, I need to work on my diet lol, I’ve got the consistency down and I think PPL is a decent enough program for what I want, I just gotta eat more
The key to consistency is force yourself to never miss a gym day when you’re starting off then after a while it’ll feel bad to miss a day
Yeah if location is important then why not
Btw what did Bloomberg give you after negotiating using Roblox offer?
also curious about this
👀
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
Roblox 220 at 250?
Do u actually think they'll run out of positions soon
Tbh yield rates for hiring now are unprecedentedly high
This year
its still pretty early tbh
id say november is when they run out
why not roblox?
He is nyc simp
roblox doesnt do remote?
Wait WHAT
What do you mean run out
Like they'll cancel existing interviews?
i mean stop hiring, but idk
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
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
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"
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
Alterium lowkey got some goated img and gifs
I expect nothing less than the best from the wise oak tree


This combination of pfps is sus
My mod senses tell me
One of you will be banned eventually
😳
😳
ive already been banned before for attempting to abuse the ping thing
but then again, like 500 other people were trying it too
Weird ass pfp
cursed
is this the amazon grocery store
amazon really going ham with innovaiton
innovate so in the future grocery stores wont have to pay minimum wage employees
friday interviews r so ass bc now im spending the entire weekend waiting
No, you're spending your weekend celebrating
Cause you will pass
cope tbh
do people in this thread have a job and are looking for higher TC or have no job offer at all?
Conversely, Friday offers are awesome!
You get any offers
I don't care what day, any offers would be awesome 
“kekw_recession_edition” that’s a pr good name for that emoji 
Yep, I got a few
Nice
What about both 
@alpine violet did u ghost ping me i didnt see
why did #new_grad_salary_sharing stop updating ?
can the mods start updating it again
They got busy with full-time jobs, I would use levels.fyi and sort by recent or search in the process channel and ask someone
a lo tof the mods are just college kids on discord all day, they have time
levels better
the problem with levels is they divide the signing bonus by 4
Yeah just use levels
I just ask people in the process channel, and they always let me know
this discord sucks
You're acting really entitled
There's a lot of good info here
I promise you nobody cares about your opinion
i agree but it's heavily diluted with random people spamming
In the most respectful way possible

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.

im not reading this
i think a lot of people make mistakes in entering TC there
levels needs to add a field for signing bonus
levels does make it a bit weird ngl
This or a book, maybe the room perhaps?
This server provides a lot of info free, other places would try to charge you for all that
thank you!!
yeah i’m really glad. in first year of university i thought my life was ruined because i didn’t get into the CS major
i’m really grateful i was able to receive an offer from FAANG despite not having a cs degree
In real-time, might I add.
life is not a race
i will just keep working on the grindset
and keep applying
gonna keep playing automation too
this is the game im gonna sink like 500 hours into
Anybody playing mw2?
I heard campaign is one of the best cod campaigns
Karat seems difficult. How u guys managing that?
for palantir?
Surprised my 3070 is holding up at 4K
yea
Just looking what type of questions they ask and seem difficult to me
uh what kind of questions are they asking lol
I wasn't gonna prep too hard cause I have other final rounds this week
difficult questions
palantir is not that bad its just graffs
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
I beat the campaign already
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
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
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
So did they go the og mw2 route where the later missions are a bit of a chore
Ohhh by heel turns you mean plot twists?
yeah exactly
yup there's one in particular I'm thinking of involving a prison that lasts too long imo
and the last mission was fun but didn't last nearly long enough 
CSCD #2023_grad_process archetypes:
- the guy who threads every reject and asks what round (Sorry to hear that! What round did you get rejected?)
- the one who threads every offer and asks for TC (Congrats!! Location? TC Breakdown?)
- the guy who threads every interview and asks for timeline (Timeline? I did my OA 2 years ago and ghosted)
- the guy who lies about their process commands as a troll (me
)
forgot the bot saying Congrats!!! 🎉🎉 to a reject 
First one (half) is me 
I thought those were just troll/incorrect posts. You post an offer, get a congrats and then edit your comment to a "reject"
when is your karat
i usually manage by knowing the question ahead of time
/s
palantir karat is largely graph based. just know your dfs / bfs well
Someone can also process an offer then immediately delete the message
Play it on pc
It’s a lot easier now I heard
Guys where is the list of 2023 newgrads? I usually used github repo, but update is little slow 😦
by some incredible luck i've only had leetcode tests until now
whats hackerrank like
mainly, how many questions are in the 90 min tests ?
damn
you got them both right?
ok can I pm. just wanna know how u do those. I got like 6/15 in 1 question
Just finished my final interview for IXL
IXL has an OA after resume screening?
How do u know ahead
on a saturday? dang
it was /s
Expedia refuses to get back to me 🥹🥹
🙃
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.
Happy to compensate you!
she gives me
vibes
bitch is obnoxious LMFAO
i think she also beefed with some tech tiktoker from cmu too
ayo don't shit on my homie mage
just don't like her vibes
Be me: I do not make tech my personality
i don'
I don't watch any tech YouTubers or tiktokers
i just don't like how she tried to frame her tiktok informational
Tbh I feel like making tech your entire personality is the gateway to a lot of toxic behavior
while it is just egotestical thirst trap
sounds like most people here, minus the thirst trap part 
at least we own it
so true
like in the one rick and morty episode
"he is cringe but he owns it so he is cool"
FB
kek
bruh sweintern has less likes than my friend
i mean take frank for example he flexes but he also made his content informational
this girl treats her tiktok like a white instagram model
wait why i coulnd't see it
maybe i blocked her
also does tiktok still do the thing like people can see your name from your tiktok link
beware of that btw
if you cared about trying to be anonymous
maybe if u scroll down? idk
welp just fyi
Is it true that palantir rejects around 50% people after the hiring manager final round?
sweintern is so cringe lol
now u have to drop the tea
W/e just don’t pay them attention if they annoy u
There are probably better uses of time
it comes from lack of security and constant need of validation tbh
I think ur reading too much into this
damn 50-50
sweintern is the cause of my crippling insecurity
like it is demographically impossible LOL
like diversity and inclusion must be PUSHED for a reason LOL
having that 50-50 ratio
Carnegie Mellon University has a total undergraduate enrollment of 7,365 (fall 2021), with a gender distribution of 50% male students and 50% female students.
oh i think they're talking about other schools having worse ratios
and workplace too tbh
Like where
and gender neutralLOL
as in no women's bathroom just men and gender neutral bathroom
Like where
source: trust me bro
gotta ask my friend tho he did an onsite at some obscure trading comp
Bro what 
Ain’t no way
Damn I should’ve went for IS there
They got it like that?
honestly at bbg all the interviews i had were with women so that was pretty lit
lol y'all im a woman too i try to peep these things 
Even if ur not it’s still very important
ye, bit of a red flag when you always hear the company boasting about diversity and inclusion but not in the tech sectors
I actually know someone who went to BB despite having a return offer from G because of how they treated her during her internship apparently
please spill
She didn’t actually get into details and I didn’t want to pry so sadly I don’t have any juicy info
does leetcode have dark mode
Y u doing LC 
U never used it before?
cuz thats the only way i know how to learn a language
i ve but forgot 99% of it
and cpp training didnt teach sht
i think its in beta or something and only works on certain areas of the site
that's probably not a good way....
you can choose dark side as theme
its effective way to learn a language highkew
Cuz they said they’ll do any language on my resume
just click on profile
wasnt the LC dark in the actual editor a feature that was rolled out to a few ppl only?

or just get dark reader extension
i think it messes up when there's drawings

if your text is dark, then it disappears
anyone interview with disney streaming
Idk if the OA is sent before or after resume screen
Thanks I wonder cuz i applied today lol
i thought everyone had this
actually went hard mode
yeah if u click on ur icon on top right there should be a "dark side" toggle in the drop down
yo
Any advice on netflix sys design?
There is free food at bloomberg
?

any advice on db onsite?
@nocturne oriole
YOU SNITCH
What’s DB?
databricks
How long does a reject come out after virtual on-site 2 is done for Bloomberg?😢
Anyone done hive ai frontend 24 hr assignment? How picky are they with this
Are ppl getting off the amazon waitlist because ppl are reneging or there are more HC..?
I wish we had a dedicated zon recruiter for this server I have so many questions lol
And it’d be a better use of their time than going to career fair there’s like 15k active ppl on here
Def not more hc
I think HC is prob frozen for like every big tech company until Q4 projections are finalized
That’s what someone said on blind
Really hoping I get one
Nope. If I don’t hear back this week I’ll shoot an email
Interviewer has a lot of control over where the design ends up but do not mention anything you don’t want to talk about lol
I mentioned caching and regretted it because she ended up asking me about cache eviction policies and stuff🥲
but for a lot of stuff I was just honest that idk
If the cache doesn't pay rent then you evict them, easy
any state school peeps who passed the janestreet resume screen?
there are people from suny binghamton at jane street
u got any of their resumes?
Faang on freeze has really messed everything up
anyone did BB first round hackerrank interview? do we need to compile it and run with the test cases during the interview?
no you dont need to compile
easy-medium. i got 2, some others got 1
yeah that is the last round. this round you wont have sys design 🙂
thanks!:)
pretty sure it is
Is there usually a second major round of hiring in the winter? I feel like I missed a bunch of apps this time around
probably not. other companies may increase HC or open apps but its not going to be "major"
will there be another wave next spring (jan/feb)?
i am praying hard for this to happen

hopefully! I feel like i have applied to all the places that are hiring at this point
atleast you have an offer 
anyone done final interview at schonfeld?
is there any behavioral component
is that the VO or the EM/HR round
honestly 100% same tbh
i relate to that
im really hoping for a second wave of job openings before graduation
especially after the cracked mfs all find jobs and get tf out of our way
honestly im just tired of not being a competitive applicant
were roblox assessment fun?
roblox completely ignored my gca lol
i couldnt take it
and then the support team just immediately gave me the cognitive
for games
yea they do but mine was buggy - like i didnt get gca. Email didnt receive
they had u build a robot in 10 minutes
the support just brought me to next stage - cognitive assessment
Cognitive is supposed to be same stage so idk
would u guys suggest drinking coffee b4 an onsite
Does bb ghost after vo2?
I try not to
Prefer to not be jittery
Also it might start wearing off near the end depending how long your onsite is
Drink some water
waaaaaaaa
caffeine doesnt really affect me until i get to high doses, and i dont really ever have it. it does give me the shits though
i have a query so in dictionary values can be tuples right so is it like
dic_keytuple = {name : (age,hobby)}
OR is it like
dic_keytuple = {name : [(age,hobby)]}
just thumbs up react to whichever is right
Any good guides to prepare for EM interviews?
when people refer to the "grokking system design" resource, what are they referring to?? the one on educative?
Yes
yea
i am happy that your name changed from gib job to found job 
1 is right
2 would be a list of tuples
Np
do they ghost after vo1 ?

Anyone else dealing with newfound interview anxiety this season? I have a final tmrw but I'm nervous af cause it feels like its my only shot with low response rates 
yeah same
100%
i think the pressure to do well on interviews has become unprecedented for me
like even during 2022 internship search i was like "oh well"
but this time im REALLY stressed out because i can not piss away any chance
yeah I know it's all in my head from all the ghosts/rejects this season but just rough
like my response rate is astonishingly low, its almost exactly equal to my summer 2022 response rate
and i was even pretty chill and didnt worry too much about that
its really hard now
i feel like i have like 3 chances at a decent job
or even a job at all

my parents dont even blame me if i have to settle
yeah thanks, just gotta keep going at it ig
they know the market is ass
thanks!
Take Ritalin or adderall
u guys think roblox cognitive assessment was fun?
you are not alone
even i feel the same . like if i have an interview tomorrow then the day before i feel this is like my last shot , its now or never
whose ur final with?
roblox
oh nice
not getting a return offer was the most depressing thing for me until now this year , which added up to my already off the charts anxiety

u interned at zon?
nu
anyone do quant technologist interview for radix trading?
Did anyone give tiktok OA for software engineer or Machine learning engineer?
No
does karat record screen?
i just want job
should u always schedule a redo with karat
has anyone been ghosted by apple. evolve rotation program
everyone else i know who got reached out had their interview
😮💨
or else which apple role is hiring ng rn?
@foggy perch can i dm you?
SWE3 is L4
Fr?
If in doubt look at the Colorado salary thing
142k LCOL is only 22k above L3 LCOL (120k)
who names these 
what should i expect for a 30 min amazon final interview
Fuck if I know lol, I wish levels were consistent throughout the industry
I heard that c1 tdp don't do leetcode anymore, is this true?
its like building out functions in parts to solve a problem
that work together
so like lc principles still apply, even if its not technically a lc question
anyone know how much 2 sigma new grad TC is?
what's the question
aight sure
What types of things are asked /talked about in a final interview
ebay reject(after filling interview availability)
depends on the company
I could applied, no response
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?
test
test
i heard that anything counts as leverage
i feel like the argument could be made that "This is what i am worth"
is 100k in dallas area good?
90 base 10 bonus
btw con someone help me in #leetcode_discussion 
goldman?
JP
100k Texas definitely goes further
Actually depends which part of nyc though
When you get job portal updates in your dreams 
Is Bloomberg em just system design and behvorial?
Should I expect lc type questions?
Seems like it’s jersey city so honestly could be worth over Texas
Is your on campus?
idk I am still trying to schedule it
how long did it take for you guys to hear back from bb after phone? i feel like it went well but complete silence 
it varies some people hear back quickly or later like 2 weeks
Yeah I’ve been struggling to decide
What’s bloomberg’s first round? Got mine tomorrow
I mean where are you from originally and are these companies comparable in terms of resume value / learning potential / wlb?
Because if the companies are similar it really is just gonna be what location you prefer
what does zoom need on a codesignal?
I mean you can look at the take home for both if you really want but I’d say because of how drastically different TX and the northeast are you really should decide based on the location imo
maybe
Ask our boi @rain patio
This guy is
Dota player
hey i havent heard back. its been almost two weeks for me
2x easy/med
10 days for me 🤔 meanwhile after recruiter call i got a scheduling email day after lol
yeah they are so slow. my interviewer said that the results would be available within 2 days. I guess the recruiter just didn’t do that 😦
[Blind] Check out this post! Meta E3 to E4 promotion timeline (Software Engineering Career)
https://us.teamblind.com/s/yHDcPCaL
how hard do you have to work to get a GE lol
I have to go back to college tonight

Every time I go home for the weekend I have an awesome weekend
we're in the same boat. also no oa from amazon for me 😭 but i applied kinda late fml
hope we hear back soon🙏
And then when it's time to go back I always dread it
Any behavioral component?
Sorry for ping, I usually turn ping off
I think you require outreach from a recruiter to get a Google interview
But let's pray they look at the general app pool before graduation

wait fr
i thought was completely paused except for interns
i am gonna grind so bad until jan so that i can get offers in spring hopefully . I am partly motivated and partly anxious 

anyone get a data engineering position in here?
does anyone know whether all companies that are hiring for summer 2023 new grad are fine taking students graduating in dec 2022?
was curious to know whether companies are flexible with start dates or not
This year at least
Nobody is getting a response except those with recruiter reachouts
Idk if anyone even got an offer yet
which one is accurate ? vercel tagged or LC premium taggeed?
can anybody with leetcode premium share tagged q's for draftkings 🙏
it ain't there

appreciate u lookin
think if there’s time
I finished like 30mins early so there was
i thought they asked behavior at the beginning
i also finished with 15 mins left but the interviewer just ended the call
So they done hiring
?
it is at first but for senior engs the gap isn't as bad in china
sorta like india where senior SWEs at decent homegrown companies earn about half of an equivalent USD salary
tho in both circumstances its been fueled by crazy VC funding which has cooled down now so I wonder if TC will start to go down in those places again
has anyone taken nextdoor's tech screen?
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"
How do you prep for this lmao^
gonna have to ask some SDETs
i see
so the structure varies
depending on the circumstances
bruh how are they expecting ng to know that 💀
all we do is classes and leetcode
is this for the test frameworks position
ikr i've never had any experience with this hahaha
correct
Is it right that we have significantly less openings than last year during this time?
u think the market will better during spring 2023?
maybe look around youtube tbh
Doubtful
im sure there are channels that talk about this stuff
dam
word on the street (wall) is that we're only in the beginning phase of the recession lol
but who knows ol jeremy at the fed might turn on the printer again
doubtful tbh
tbh even if we did know market would definitely be better in spring 2023, i don't think us broke new grads would have the resources to capitalize on that knowledge
is it me or are coding interviews hard asf
glad I'm not the only one lol
Part of me wants to just bite the bullet and be a pilot lol
do you still get asked lc style questoins for like junior and senior lvl positions?
yes
when i interviewed for senior position at Albertsons it was 4 lc style and 1 system design
yea
i gotcha
did you like study lc throughout your time working
or did you grind before you knew you were looking
i do some lc everyday after work
do they start asking you harder questoins or still like med sometimes hards
tf how do you know
Cuz id do it if i was u 🫢

fr
Guys, For Circle Pair Programming round how can we prepare?? Any advice??
They ask API development if I am not wrong so for python beside requests what else can we prepare??
both
Do uk if any other companies do this
Anyone took the OA for zip recruiter for data engineering ?
anyone else got circle phone cancelled 😦 ? just got my phone cancelled last minute
Do you ever expect to not have to that after working
Recruiter call?
yes
they just asked me to move mine up…
like move it to another date? mine just straight up cancelled
I am having bad anxieties thinking about the job market and what my future holds (as an international student) . I am unable to sleep and eat properly . my eyes pain sometimes . i feel sad and depressed most of the times . i haven't felt so low any time in my life until now that i had to go for counselling at uni .
Hang in there bro, know that you're not alone and a lot of us are having this problem. Take care of your health, use your school's counselling and get professional help if you can.
Oh wait I just read you went to counselling in your last sentence

yesterday i cried in the library alone since i just couldn't handle so much on my mind
only 2 of them are programming (first is just confirmational), theyre rng but mine were med/hard lc
If they're hards I'm so fked lol
honestly u guys better hope i fail in life forever
the day something REALLY works out for me
like i achieve an absolutely GOATED goal, high rank at a very prestigious company
im going to be the most annoying and egotistical mf on earth
we have the "honor" of graduating into an unprecedently bad economy

did amazon robotics every put out jobs for spring 2023 grads
or are their only positions open for december 2022 grads
i will have SUCH a big ego if i become SE2/SE3 at a unicorn
no cap
i will think IM THE COOLEST ASS MF ON EARTH BRO
ill probably buy a porsche the day i get an offer at a company like that tbh
i usually get all on OAs and i couldn't even solve one for citadel so good luck
citadel is auto, and citadel is hard

Oh yeah I guess it's different
anyone know if interview stage at draftkings is auto? I don't think I did super well on the oa but they moved me on anyway lol
if you get the job please for the love of god fix their android app
i know its just an apk but still its so clunky for no reason
guys how do you prepare for the behavioral part of any interview?
I will do my best
honestly no
if there's any android app I'm fixing
it's gonna be reddit
how do u decide what persona is good
the delta between the ios and android versions of reddit is wider than the atlantic
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
what about "tell me about a failure"
like have an answer to "what is a weakness of yours"
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
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
I always talk about a time when I was a TA and I just did not put out a lab on time because I waited until the last minute, it got done but I mention how I could have managed my time better and reached out to others quicker
so it's a legit failure but not like breaking prod or anything
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
You know it’s also possible just to be mostly honest on behaviorals while spinning some stuff
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
as in ?
same bro same , i have this exact feeling
gotcha tysm
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
and start working in january
but tbh i dont mind either
starting in summer = 5 months to bum around and chill
i had 10 min of talking about bloomberg and talking about me and my experience
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
what kinda questions do u ask at the phone screen round?
I asked
- What attracted you to choose Bloomberg for your career?
- What about bloomberg makes you stay
- (she was a senior engineer) What qualities do your most successful new hires tend to exhibit?
- 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 💀
anyone else get a still under consideration email from amazon? lol
did you get both questions
you guys ever get no sleep before a final? because i'm doomed today 💀
what screen?
Lol is it okay for an interviewer to use his phone during an interview. That’s so unprofessional I have no words
yes
didn't code second one tho just talked about it
nah
o
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
ong ppl have been saying that since like mid september
lol reddit had a troll saying c1 offers were rescinded
Recruiters don’t always have accurate info either
Like straight up people hear conflicting things sometimes
also why would a recruiter tell a cnadidate that anyway
You’re not gonna know that info unless you literally have access to their headcount planning slides or something
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.
Where did you hear this?
literally says reddit in the message big bro
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
lol yeah this has been happening for almost 2 months now
reading into speculation is always a terrible idea
that's normal BB lol. So many people had one or 2 of their rounds no show
just assume you dont have the job until you have the offer on hand tbh
Why would they reschedule if it is filled?
Wouldn’t they just cancel it in the worst case?
delay if theyre waiting on hc adjustments/candidates to accept/deny offers
im full from eating 69 mcchickens in ten minutes
I see
another day without any new opportunities
I have mine hr/hm tmr

so true tbh

i wouldnt say 1 business day is being ghosted. slow sure... but who knows
Is this based on the “priced in” copypasta from wsb lmfao
yeah fair enough, thats a lil odd
Anyone have any advice for Palantir HM
also interested have mine today
One of my interviewers yawned like 5 times during my behavioral 🤣
I was like okay I know my life is not interesting but pls😭
do you guys think its bad to reschedule a final the day of if I'm feeling very sick and got like no sleep?
otherwise I'm just going to get some painkillers and caffeine and try to power through
nah worth a shot
explain yourself to the recruiter and ask nicely @coarse charm
ideally give them wide open availability for rescheduling
its not bad at all
they will be empathetic
I would attempt to reschedule people have stuff come up all the time it would be dumb to pull you out of consideration bc of that.
thanks guys
guys is it really bad to say you live somewhere u dont so that u get higher pay
like is that shit illegal?
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
for palantir?
cant u just give ur friends address or something
wait double taxed
but the net income would be higher right
nah for BB
Oh ok
It depends on what tax treaties your work state and living state have with each other
You might end up worse off
This is where it starts crossing into tax fraud territory and I would tread very fuckin carefully
someone on this chat told me its a very common thing
like if u have family or friends in another state, you can just say that u live there
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
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
@ivory stratus you know anything about this ?"
Yeah that’s a tax treaty basically
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
what if i say im goinng move
gonna move soon
ite fuck it im not doing it
If you don’t actually move they’ll notice it when you file taxes
Is that couple percent really worth it
Since you’ll need to file for the state you actually live in lol
itd be like 40k or somet hsit prolly
its not a couple % breh
And if you file in state you don’t live in then that’s tax fraud
oh hmm ok
dont think fucking about with your taxes is a good idea lol
What company we talking
Because G is like +20k base in hcol vs lcol
40k would be hft offer
massachusetts taxes new hampshire residents who work in massachusetts
And only +10k base from MCOL
MA is taxtopia tbh
wanna be my imaginary GF
Dunno where you get +40k from
in my imaginary life
Also where do you currently live
Sorry bud according to G that’s LCOL
My dude really be asking about tax fraud with no offer and no knowledge of taxes
I mean you still get like 170k tc
honestly new grad is worse than college apps
BUT
the redeeming thing about job apps is that there is no such thing as too late
🦗
like a company may only be hiring like 100 people for new grads, but there's 8000+ applicants
it really sucks
tax fraud is felony lol... any accountant wouldn't do it.
easily 30k+
I've given up on new grad
I thought I’d be rolling in offers like what would’ve happened last year yet I’ve gotten barely any responses. We’re just unlucky and can do nothing about it.
Ill settle for 100k
Just grind and pass the few interviews you got
Bro same I thought I'd have like 30 interviews and 10 offers with Amazon on resume
Amazon is the prerequisite now, not even a resume boost
Having Amazon on resume is the minimum at the moment
Yeah the recession has really upped the hiring bar
4 internships broski. 1 faang 1 unicorn
Biden hasn't declared it yet
the most opportunities i've gotten were from conferences tbh. just applying has barely worked. it's tough out here
For sure, it's a tough world out there rn, nobody cares unless you give them a reason to
fr
facts
the pressure is really on rn
cant afford to fail any interviews
new grad is a dead end for me now
I will look forwards to my SE2 hop instead
SE2 by EOY 2025 
i hope all of us in job search purgatory rn will speedrun SE2 and get it fast
heyyo there's still time left to secure a job you love
i know it's hard but try not to lose hope
im guilty of thinking this and bombing them due to pressure
My friend got a job a month after he graduated without doing any applications before graduation
So don’t lose hope
i think folks are just losing hope on maxing out TC and prestige and have to settle for less 
the high TC will come eventually
yeah pretty much this
the ez 180k tc dream is completely dead now
you have to be cracked this season for it
Is it easier to get a startup job rn?
I receive the availability form as well but haven’t heard back… did you follow up?
Yo quick question for Bloomberg is it
2 1 hour technical calls
1 30 min Recruiter call
1 30 min Engineering Manager call?
usually a 1h phone before all that too but yes. duration of em/hr could be 45 each as well, that fluctuates
you dont have to pay to apply at least
or waste like a couple hours writing essays
i just realized how stupid college apps are
imagine paying to apply lol
