#2023_grads
1 messages Ā· Page 109 of 1
Hello,
I need many people's advice about my graduation.
Iām a MSCS Student and I have one semester left before my graduation. Because of the hiring freeze and layoff, Iām seriously considering extending my graduation.
If I extend my graduation, I will do internship for next spring and summer semester and graduate in december 2023. Then I have about 1 year internship experience.
Or should I directly graduate in 2023 spring because lots of big tech companies hire new grad student at this season?
email recruiter maybe?
Hello, could someone help check for me that if the no-reply email after submitting DoorDash new-grad application like the screenshot below? Thank you!
I believed I applied for new-grad role, and the no-reply email says "entry-level" as well, but I received OA with title "intern", and I thought OA for intern/new-grad are the same so it's ok, but after completing OA I got interview request for intern instead of new-grad.
They're making new grads interview for intern roles 
I'm wondering did I apply for the wrong role or did they mess up my application?
oh wtf
Iāll dm u a recruiterās email
Thank you!! 
Damn you guys are getting OAās huh
Lots of big tech tech hiring new grads this season? LOL we wish
Delay graduation since your life depends on it
waiting to hear back from interviews is the worst. I wish you could just forget you interviewed until they get back to you lol. I just neurotically refresh email everyday for 5 days
same
especially if its a dream job š„²
Exactly
yeee imagining what your life could be like if they say yes lol
and then the rejection email comes along


me w atlassian
it's double bad if you told friends or family you were interviewing lol
oh god i never do that with family
Sorry mom and dad I'm too dumb
my mom would constantly ask me how it went hows it going
i dont need that extra stress and embarrassment
i only tell my family if i get an offer
š¤£
yeah I keep my family in the loop sometimes if they ask but their pretty chill thankfully lol
guys before any interview how do you revise the problems ? like do you solve em again and stuff or like what?
I tell my mom and a few close friends and thats it
I solve leetcode problems multiple times
practice same type of pattern, different question
i do this too but then question myself , am i memorising?
or is it normal
I'm not memorizing personally
I just forget how to leetcode after a few months
So I do a few patterns over and over to refresh
Memorizing the pattern is the goal
don't knnow why but i suck bad at some subpatterns of two pointers
Practice makes purrfect š»
Practice until it becomes muscle memory 
i dont tell my family about the details of me interviewing lmao
This is why u don't tell anyone lol
if they knew how much these potential offers were they'd be pocket watching me so hardcore and i dont need that lmao
Same tbh
i tell my family everything
not my friends
I try not to tell anyone unless I need advice from them
Like "yo what's the next stage of the interview process"
Is Bloomberg phone full leetcode or ood
I heard the final is OOD/sysdesign
has anyone interviewed with google for the apm role?
How many days after karat for palantir do u hear back?
Isnāt your nyc offer still like 200k+
My parents are going to be supportive of me and accept reality that I can't get a job that pays as well as Amazon
They don't even blame me for it
Tf, parents should be happy with whichever you choose
Yeah my parents were more like āyou sure you can keep them waiting like that?ā
has anyone heard back after draftkings final?
bruh my parents would've been thrilled with any half decent white collar job
Thatās wild imo considering youāre still making bank
Same tbh
Same lol, my parents were expecting me to make 80-90k
id say pltr and netflix is on the same level
My parents have accepted that I'm probably making 5 figures as a grad
honestly netflix's future is uncertain and trading firms are a whole different beast, idk about optiver but wlb can be bad in them
š
I haven't even accepted it myself
I'm still fixated on 6 figures
Tfw I'm harder on myself than my parents are on me
I've reached that point in life
It feels surreal
IKR i was told to stop interviewing 
tech companies will always be there and making like 50k more and abandoning a life partner is not a worthwhile tradeoff imo
My parents were worried Iād get rescinded after nego 
There is simply way too big of a mental barrier for me to accept an offer that pays 5 figures
Same 
Guess who got lowballed
even 100k more, that doesn't make as big a diff if you're already clearing 200
Super hard
Now theyāre like āwait donāt you need to clock in, itās 11am alreadyā
keep in mind how much taxes would've eaten out of that since that's all in higher tax brackets too, I think you made the right choice tbh
Oh no, I just show them I havenāt lost ID access so they assume Ik what Iām doing
literally my parents 
Tbh I think some people in this server need their parents to tell them that 
~200k is honestly goated for ng rn because of the new tax brackets
although I don't even have an office so it makes even less sense to them
If you make below 230 this year you get 3% less federal than last year
Should I wait until I get a good offer for SE2 until I buy a second car, or buy a car as soon as I get paid for the first time
I don't want to wait to buy a gas powered sports car
Like look at the new federal tax brackets for 2023
I'm worried that gas powered sports cars will be unaffordable by 2025
Letās gooooo, lowballed paying off 
You know what if people in the hood can afford a challenger srt on a welfare check I can afford one too one 95k new grad salary
I personally think thereās gonna be more performance hybrids
I do not want an EV
Hybrid != EV
I do not really want a hybrid either
mans said he wouldn't want a mclaren
It depends on the car tbh
I get where youāre coming from because Priuses but like the Honda cr z was a hybrid and people loved that thing in manual
@rain patio you missed this part during office hours https://youtu.be/4oqK9JAmBVw
all the modern hypercars are hybrids btw
oh so you just have bad taste
I don't like them at all
Iām just saying like a hybrid Miata might be in the cards for the future
Which would be goated
We had an absolute turd of a Honda
Same with a hybrid brz
was it a pilot?
bruh the TSX is literally a civic with a luxury interior and a slightly better engine 
Yeah heās a grad student
idk what you expected
If you thought the Acura was a shitbox boy do I have news for you
hey did anyone do optiver oa recently?
I think I'll probably look for an m240i coupe
As a new grad
After job hop I'll get an m2
just make sure you lease
That gen inline 6 is pretty reliable
My cousin had a 2009 335i back in like 2018ish? And that car was amazing but one day the power steering just completely shit itself
2-4K down the drain right there
sheesh did that happen on the road
I think the e90 was dogshit quality
honestly as curious as I am about german cars I wouldn't own one cause I want to be able to actually work on my own car
I donāt remember I donāt think so
E46 and e90 gen are time bombs tbh
If we talking shit that happened on the road tho
if changing the oil is more than 2 easy steps I won't buy the car
He also had a jeep Liberty
And that shit died on him when he was camping in the mountains and was heading back at midnight
Honestly I was trolling, Acura isn't that bad. Just I'd never buy one myself
exactly why I wouldn't own a jeep even though everyone around me loves them 
although the liberty was p bad I can't lie
Every single time I was riding in that thing the dashboard was lit up like a Christmas tree
nah you're valid, I'm a honda fanboy and I wouldn't own an acura lol
He was so glad to get rid of that thing
can y'all talk about cars in general please
the value proposition just doesn't make sense imo
No
im tryna get some feedback about optiver's oa
people talk LC and NG in general too lmao
sorry to be THAT guy
This server is all about random convos
ok but this channel is specifically regarding 2023_grads

You mustāve not seen 2022_grads in itās prime
full_timers is probably a solid 1/4 car talk if you break it down lol
25% cars, 25% nyc talk for some reason , 25% shitposting, 25% techie posting credit usage
the s2000 is goated
hey has anyone done optiver's oa/
is it just me or does everyone inevitably get pulled over for speeding at some point in their life
like at least once
am i crazy for wanting to turn down palantir to do another yr of school
i do not drive yet 
i wanted to learn after all the interviewing is over but now i have midterms 
a bit crazy tbh
but i have absolutely nothing
so any offer would send me sraight to mental heaven
yes
Heyy guys, is TN-1 employment-based immigration case?
It seems like non-immigrant employment-based
devg makes absolutely godawful takes, asked to leave cscareers.dev
sorry fam
tbh why im kinda bummed about graduating into a recession
because the earlier i start making money it would be nice
Oof
sigh whatever
what i consider a bad wage is enough to keep me on my feet until my SE2 job hop anyways
Shouldāve just signed for amphibious company lol
does anyone have the pdf for cracking the pm interview?
especially since i have no choice anyways
most likely u will be downleveled
why does it matter?
probably less than 1 in 5 engineers are women so its not really that weird
so youre telling me that prestige unironically matters for job hopping
fuck
this is eXACTLY why im depressed about the recession
it does
of course prestige mattyers lol
this is pretty much exactly why im so depressed and mopey this semester
if ur going from a non-faang company to a faang level company ur gonna get downleveled 100%
all the effort in the world will be worthless
no going straight to SE2
man i was dealt a terrible deck this year
thats exactly the reason why people go for faang internships so hard
u'll just b slower, theres nothing wrong with that
tbh im tired of being slow
thats why im depressed abt that
No
stripe is a faang level company
we're talking about local company -> FAANG/unicorn
probably even higher than faang
lmao
faang level
local company -> FAANG/unicorn is hopping from within the same level
faangmula/unicorn
So SE1 at local company would get SE1 at a FAANG/unicorn
makes sense
fuck
the pressure is REALLY on now
yes but ur offer will still be higher than ngs
thats a good cope
ill take that
ill be happy to know that
unlikely
but possible
hm in that case ill probably plan my big hop earlier, like 9 months into my first job, im going to make applying to jobs a second hobby of mine
Uber
SE1 at local company -> SE1 at faangmula/unicorn in 9 months
Shouldāve taken amphibian company
just do that rn
theres still time
this might still be a ng offer
need 1+ yr
i think
Hi all,
I got this for CoreOS team (at Apple) (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 coder pad io if that helps.
Thanks!
oh well
just work for 2 months and apply lol
not really much point in planning this far ahead considering for all we know big tech could still be frozen in a year
aint nothing wrong with that
ill probably still be leetcoding after my first day of work as a new grad
focus on getting the first job first
can anyone help with this? would appreciate it!
instead of planning your 2nd, 3rd
getting a job at all will be great to me
look in #2023_grad_process for people that interviewed at apple and ask them
theres not many
is it bad to get rerouted to forward deployed engineer from software engineer?
no it just means they think ur a good communicator
is it more competitive to get offer as fdse?
no its the same
doubt it
idk if it's bad but from what I've read it seems much more like technical consulting than SWE work which is great if that's what you want to do but not so hot if you want to be a dev
interesting
i would assume less people are applying for fdse but the hiring bar is likely the same
ya for palantir
im guessing more people want swe than fdswe but the bar is the same
the false positive theory for hiring:
thousands of false negatives wasted to weed out one false positive is worth it
yea swe > fdse, since same pay, better wlb
false negative: someone who is 100% qualified for the job but gets weeded out for being perceived as not worth the risk of interviewing/hiring
anecdotally from what i hear fdswes learn a shitton and have more exit ops if that's of interest to you
wish me luck palantir HM round in 15 min š
false positive: someone who is not qualified but still gets interviewed/hired
tbh this is why i am stressing really hard as a new grad
i dont want to keep deferring my goals in life
yeah i agree
i kidna wish i could do the rest of my semester fully remotely
im sick of college
and being on campus makes me feel bored and lonely
forward deployment has its perks
i honestly enjoyed lockdown a lot
lockdown was awesome, if i had to do lockdown for covid again id be really happy tbh
its so easy to pass remotely while learning nothing tho lol
i understand why 99% of the world would be very unhappy
but i would personally be overjoyed
i barely passed everything in remote classes lol
my cousin inherited management of a bunch of local gas stations in japan from his step-grandfather, i envy him so much
imagine getting a hihg paying job with zero effort
š
study with ufc in the background
lets just all be thankful that we're in the easiest and highest paying stem field
Just study 1 hr before exam doing nlp on previous mc tests
sometimes they'd do
unfort lol
fr engineering is way worse
and med school is hard too
time for a new bar lmao
time for a new bar 
law school is pretty prestigious but its a scummy job tbh
lawyers are prestigious but i feel like people side eye lawyers now
software engs dont get side eyed except by Qanon ass nutjobs
law school is hard as hell
"muh twitter is communism"
honestly swe is easy money for more or less easier work
Y do u care about public perception
lawyers get to wear nice suits
isnt superstonk full of copers mad because they got conned into buying gamestop
the smart people sold out while cheering on other idiots to buy gamestop
same with crypto tbh
tell idiots to buy in as you ssell out
think it also all has to do with our constant demand for automation
how will the iPad kids be like when they grow up
Bro fr
my life hasnt gotten better since
kids these days dont know the struggle of having to disconnect your internet when your parents wanted to call someone
I remember doing that ds draw thing when I was a kid
pictochat?
i remember going to swim meets all the time as a kid
pictochat was POPPING
holy crap that was awesome
everyone brought their DS to swim meets
and we all played download play games
download play is still magic to me tbh
mf on glassdoor are tripping
this guy entered in the box on the application as an interview question
like ?????
lol
niantic is a cool ass company
id love to apply someday
im interested in the product for sure
Has anyone got any idea about TikTok's application status meaning ? I gave the OA recently and successfuly solved all the questions however it shows "ended" on my careers page.
should i reach out to expedia? been a week and 4 days since i took oa
still nothing
nah
what are the new brackets (oh nvm lol)
wait really?
most of people I knew had a suit at work
but would wear normal clothes to work
then change out when client time

Major Chad energy
im probably going to wear supreme, balenciaga and gucci if i ever get a FAANGMULA/unicorn offer
šÆ
amazon on resume as a new grad has helped, but i feel like its more in the sense of
"if you think you have it tough now you would be absolutely FUCKED if you didnt have it"
than its like
"i am SWIMMING in opportunity thanks to amazon"
what is your response rate
like 6%
ouch
true, if I didn't have a Big N company on resume, life would be tuff
if its bad even with big N, it would be even worse without
tbh i realized that TC doesnt have to be anything crazy
as long as its a respectable company with a respectable product and good tech stack
i'll be fine with the future job hop
excluding automatic OAs and resume rejects
around like actually 8% now
im at 43% including rejections
i havent been keeping track of how much of that is auto oa's tho probably a sizable amount
i count all OAs as auto/worthless unless it actually leads to an interview
im very conservative with calculating my response rate
Yeah doing good on OA and then being ghosted is worse than just auto reject
ya im at 4% if you only include real interviews lol
how is your resume???
i have gotten it peer reviewed like 50 times

yeah im still trying to work on a positive attitude
i know that the goal for me is to work on being happy with what i can get
but its not easy relative to expectations last year
wait so how many apps have u sent
my moving forward is 25%
and how many interviews did u get?
including auto OAs
i think ive had like 6 invitations to interview
i dont really keep track that well
yeeee
no oas actualy interviews
yeah
bruh this isnt even bad idk what u on about
im at like 120 and 5 interviews
but i know that im already rj from 2 of them
10 interviews
6 out of 80 is pretty good especially considering you're probbaly waiting to hear back from a lot of oas
im on like 150 with like 3-4
yeah thats true

10/58 for me
is that still on waitlist
bruh ur cracked
gl ono
yeah i didnt count auto oas
I have 5/129
anybody know oa cutoff for ebay?
same i dont count oas in general
But I'm international and I withdrew from a handful of companies
just interview requests / phone screens
yeah itsa super wonky season this year
recruiting pipelines are overwhelmed
tbh
everything is arbitrary now
that is p cracked tbh
im pretty excited for game dev applications for new grad to come out
wish i got more 
i want to apply for them too
good luck
gl

anyways yeah i think game dev is exciting and meaningful
id love to work in game dev as a new grad
yeah p much
look for non-tech companies
there was someone claiming to have like 1200 apps lol
bro im just applying to everything right now
ah
just gonna reapply for ng positions next year
or boomer and local companies
yeah i only applied very specific places
esp for microsoft
I apply everywhere
yeah same jake
i just apply to every ng role i see on linkedin lol
hopefully meta puts out new grad next year too
im planning on reapplying for 2024 new grad
research the company if i get an interview
ah i see
luckily for me i alr had a return offer, so i didnt need to apply to every company
tbf theres def enuf unicorns and such to hit 100+apps
has anyone gotten implement some sort function for NG interview?
.sort()

no and i hope i never do
i wld not pass that lol
i would just do heapsort
its so dumb to test that when .sort exists lol
I did lol
tilted me
nordstrom asked me that in an intern interview once
and then ghosted me after a final round
sophomore year was tough
i wonder how competitive the job hop scene is gonna be
i wonder how many people unhappy with their new grad outcome are gonna try to do a second roll of the dice
theres a lot more demand for experienced swe though
with YoE
or am i the minority here
right now
the minority of people who will hyperfixate on disappointing myself
even if in absolute terms its hardly a failure
i think we'll have another bull economy someday for tech
where VCs throw money at the most bullshit startups
i mean theres gonna be a big web3 boom
is web3 a meme
that person is probably a) distinguishing between companies and applications, as I do, and 2) applying to every single position on linkedin that they can find
web3 lool
I'm a meme
so true bestie ^
@pulsar mural
have u applied to the blizzard role yet?
beats unemployment lol
blizzard is a frat boi club
sexual assault shit? or other reason
yea, i got an OA for it but never did it bc dont wanna start any new processes

im just annoyed that you have to be ocnnected to blizz servers for mw2 campaign
like wtf
ow2 has me so tilted fuck blizzard
really? i like it
the only thing i hate about it is new hero is locked through battle pass
ohh i was an ow1 player so i dont have to deal with the new hero stuff
i was too
my dad has former colleagues at Rockstar new england, apparently they worked on GTA 5
and RDR2
ow1 was pretty dope
i should ask my dad if i can talk to his colleagues about working at rockstar
i was mercy main when it came out then played lucio pretty exclusively
oooof
literally have to carry hardcore to win
yeah i play on pc
DPS isn't bad
just depends
i played widow and she was good
esp low elo climbing
better than ow1
yeah its prob better from the dps side but im a support player so grinding on that
i want what youre smoking
dont sleep on dps lucio lmfaooo
im support too
a kill matters in ow2
the amount of kills ive gotten on lucio in ow2 is insane lol
i have yet to experience a 5 minute overtime match yet
and i get that like every other game
r u accepting?
bro im just at the point where i want a job

any job at this point
i wish i could build a pc but im not ready to drop 1.4k on building a pc yet
im so over this recruiting season
esp with the gpu market
really hoping that spring has some opening
gpu market is fantastic right now
buying 3070 and 3080 is like
chefs kiss right now
i got my 3070 Vision under $600
and it handles 4k pretty well too
mostly play 1440p 144hz
yeah that's good
hmm okay nice
3070 is the ultimate sweet spot
damn
you can handle 4k pretty well if you want but most people playing at 1440p
5600x, 3070, 1tb m.2
my bf just spent like 2k building a pc
you can spend a lot less if you go last gen
still plays competitive games with controller 
still got my trusty 2070 super
with ryzen just releasing their 7000 and nvidia releasing their 4000 series, prices have gone down
yea gonna aim for under 1.5k whenever i do it
probably wont be until after i graduate tho lmaoo
that's super easy
guys whats better amazon or atlassian
does anyone know the full process for tiktok
as long as it's 3000 series, it'll last you forever
bet
i would take atlassian personally but depends on what you're looking for
i have first round nov 1 š was ur Q from tagged?
U hav leetcode prem?
ohhh
just had de shaw phone
hold on
im at final round stage rn. i interviewed for them for intern last cycle but couldnt do final round cause their spots filled up, now for NG i get to skip the line so i cant really speak for the initial rounds cause i dont remember. but i believe they asked me top k freqent
really hope this happens to me for msft next year
just skip oa/initial
i had the same thing an hour ago lmao
thats a joke
im planning on using java too so hopefully i dont get screwed

id probs take atlassian
atlassian
Oh i thought desco was kinda tricky
switching to python is was literally the smartest thing i did for interviews, java is good for actually engineering but in a time crunch, << python
Should I start playing osu?
yes
it is bro
somebody know what's Roblox minimum codeSignal grade?
oh gotcha. hackerrank for interviews is actually so scuffed tbh, had the same thing happen to me in my expedia interview
at least 820+
Too high
good team at Amazon > atlassian > taking a chance with a random amazon team
i hated python too lmaoooo
you reckon 812 might squeeze me thru?
how can you dislike python it's beautiful
Will osu help pick up chicks?
gonna need really good scores on the other assessments
Roblox cognitive test is weird lol
wym too high
yeah i did end up getting expedia and yea my first interview with them was shaky bc i was so thrown off by the hackerrank bs but i recovered in the second interview
roblox is like 240tc right
I thought 780 is enough lol
atlassian gave me a coderpad link so i thought they would use that not hackerrank
u wish xd
oh then make sense NVM I didn't know that lol
Donāt think it matters. Anything 700. Probably just cognitive assessment that matters way more
Tbh the cognitive assessment is harder lol
doubt it
Really tricky lol
Nah the cognitive assessment matters way way more
dont think ive seen anyone under 800 pass to final
no
someone has making car assignment? lol
everyone does
its all the same
I mean how did they do on cognitive
car assignment and deer stds
REALLY? That's so sad to me:(
Cognitive was harder for me tbh
I know people who got below 800 and made it to final. But they did really well on cars
i think its probs weighted the same
even uber hiring bar used to be lower, 775 was enough for straight to final back then. 725 enough to get a phone screen before onsite
FUCK
i wish i was born earlier
i could have enjoyed the peak of runescape, counter strike and gmod
and have easier jobs
hopefully, it works... I never reached over 800 lol
The deer game was silly u guys donāt think? Pretty much just guess and check
Agree
Literally 0 problem solving
I don't know what's the answer lol
Same lol

Do you know when we get reject after take roblox test lol
the bar is crazy high for everywhere this year smh
Iām not too sure tbh
lowkey quant got a lil lower this year
or maybe its always been the same and i think too highly of quant lol
Yea first year that intern is easier than new grad search
Agree...and less job posting š¦
feel like oa's are way easier this year at least compared to last year internships
Or mayb I just sucked last yr
ugh cap1 doesn't sponsor for F-1
i think the outside hire new grad route is going to be really tough for the foreseeable future
easier to just incentivize the return interns to stay

since nobody in good faith actually wants to be stuck in this living hell
Yea I agree
I recommend all juniors rn just do their best
at their internships
i think that the new grad app cycle is going to be very competitive
Thereās still companies coming out tho
Also have u tried recruiter dms on LinkedIn
Where do you guys looking for the job postings?
LinkedIn/Ripplematch
How was it
Linkedin and gradcracker
Only linkedin is not enough i think
I used that repo too but updates lil late
smart guy lol
quant is like same as faang i thought
zon ezpz
Anyone else did their em in person for Bloomberg?
fidelity is good for coasting but they hire dummies
damn
lmao
thats rough statement
expedia got that nice ass campus thoooo
Expedia is close now?
That's gonna be an adjustment. You'll save more money though. š¤
hows the tc for fidelity if yall dont mind
Wouldnāt Expedia be a good pay increase from fidelity?
bad I bombed the coding question wasn't even that hard. oh well
thats crazy for new grad in NC lmaoo
Can I dm
yeah can't say much though
I think it's based off your interview performance
Mine is also in person for that
Did you think you did well during the onsite
Yeah itās so dumb
yeah i did
gdi lol
like they have very specific things you can use the relo for?
so... i thought i bombed the behavioural for Scale AI... but the recruiter wants to schedule some "time to chat" tomorrow... are they calling to give me a rejection?
my friend once got called for a rejection for a microsoft internship
They actually want records of what you spent it on?
palantir is crazy tho
Spend the extra money for a nicer flight lmao
Does Fidelity allow full remote for new grad?
It seems like fully remote work is coming to an end at many places
Which I think is unfortunate tbh
Has anyone interviewed with TikTok for the new grad DS position??
Isnāt it just codesignal
Oh they changed it then
Or maybe it was always hackkerank
is there no lc for BB hm?
at least for new grads in person >>>>> remote for 99% of jobs/people
ok that is nice to hear
expedia ghosted me for like 1 month then send a rejection
yes
it turns out all the companies are doing it this year
shit
for tiktok im pretty sure its like solely on referrals
its pretty rare to get an interview without a referral and a rlly good codesignal/hackerrank
same here
Has anyone interviewed at Five rings for their SDE role? How was the OA?
bfs?
that's pretty much this right https://leetcode.com/problems/max-area-of-island/
its not fixed per question you just have 45 mins to do as much as you can finish
need to finish 2 and start 3 to pass afaik
you can but you don't really need to
has anyone done the first atlassian tech interview?
it's pretty standard lc format so not unclear as-is
yes
just write correct code that's reasonably optimal and you should be fine
they don't nit
correctness is what matters. communication doesnāt really matter too much. my interviewer seems to not even care about what i think, just whether my code is correct
Referrals aren't that useful at the new grad level anymore
So I turbo bombed BB EM round....but recruiter just send me an email to speak with me regarding my interview...
Is that good or bad? lmao
I feel like companies are realizing that referrals are easy to just cheese online
I just cold apply now since referral does nothing
sounds like good news haha, I feel like I did well and haven't heard anything
cause you were after me iirc
Yeah but I turbo bombed it
Got citadel oa any tips on how to prepare?
Interviewer was really nice and stayed past the 45 mins to answer my questions though
you never know, sounds like you got the offer
i dont want to jinx tho
Damn sorry bout that, they cancelled for the the other entry level role you applied for right?
Gotcha
I'll try to cold email or something
but for some reason their email format is hard to find for me
I lowkey just want to chill in Arizona for a bit
GM
I haven't tried NC but I'll look into companies there
GM
Bro I really hope they don't set up a meeting to reject lol
Wait whyš, I always thought Arizona was chill cause itās near California and other cool places
Is theres just like nothing to do?
Or is it just hot as hell and thats why it sucks
sorry i meant general motors LMAO
recruiters don't include explanation marks in their email when they plan to reject you, right?
i go to school in az and its like not the worst thing in the world, i like it a lot more than the south where i grew up
summer is endless tho so hot
Oh š, bet bet Iāll apply there as well
roblox sent me a codesignal to the account with email A. I want to use the score on my account with email B. if I add email A to the account with email B, can I send that score over?
both bro
pretty sure bloomberg doesn't call to reject
I see I see, I know its hot as hell for sure and I go to school in the south. From the outside looking in Arizone seems semi affordable so thats why I was checking it out as a potential new grad spot
nothing to do
So expensive thoš©
wait a minute
asu?
Hope I'm not an exception
If I go to Arizona it probably wont be a long term stay Iām thinking 6months to a year type thing
So weāll see
maybe š
maybe you're both secretly talking to yourself
az is def more affordable than cali (as in LA/San Diego/Bay Area), but phoenix has the highest rate of inflation in the country rn. when its not boiling hot the weather is really nice, like rn its starting to stay in the high 70s-80s but it took FOREVER to get that point (like from may-now). there's things to do if you have friends but the food is kinda lacking imo
forks up šššššš
theres a u of a person in here too
@cobalt siren nice pfp, thatās my fav album of all time
i'll say that arizona is a good transition into cali if that's your end goal. plus you can roadtrip to LA, SD, mexico, vegas in like six hours or less
ur going to have crime in any big city xd
Best Ivy League 
well duh the bay is better than az by a long shot
holy shit you too?!
that cost of living tho
yeah true
Waiting for Expedia too but I didn't ace it
the environment and people in the bay too

much more my type
but if theyre coming from the angle that they dont want to spend as much $$$ while also having some of that cali culture, az could be a match
it is very much what you make of it tho
Bruhh thank you me too, didnāt think anyone would recognize it haha. Love it so much
yea ive heard, ive spent a lot more time in socal than norcal for sure. are you moving back?
you got zon no?
How many stages does Bloomberg have? I did one phone interview, just finished another 1-hour long one and the interviewer scheduled another hour long one at the end of the interview. Does anybody know?
What
fr itās a mess nowadays
omg if i say which companies exactly im definitely doxxing myself LMAO but nothing crazy a defense contractor & F500 company
idk i got harassed on the trains before 
hmm
i got a pretty good company this summer
but 0 offers rn
when did you start applying? you gotta make sure youre going for the local az companies too to build up confidence
I mean itās worse than before no doubt about that but like itās still one of the safest cities in the country
Well yeah but you can see crazies everywhere
I witnessed a fight at the station right outside the google office a few weeks back lol
fuck that i want money
i applied aug 1st
or late aug
no OA
bronx the safest in the whole world 
i agree
amazon OA is very rng
no OA from expedia after strength assessment
haven't applied to GM or wells fargo tho
whatās a good starting salary for a new grad dev position at an NYC consulting firm?
Itās east ny 
Holy shit i didn't know inflation was that bad there, and as long as they have a lot of chipotle spots and chinese places I'm chilling tbh lol
software solutions
but would you rather be unemployed?
LMAO yes theres a ton of chipotle spots and if you do end up moving to az DM me and ill give you two Chinese spots that have good food for cheap
ur wild bro the privilege is showing idk š
what the spots
idk i just know that bills have to get paid regardless of if im happy or not its a toxic mindset but thats the country we live in
mayflower is my fav
Bettt, appreciate it 
shi thats highkey far from campus
the interviewer asks you to run your code on their given test cases. if it passes, u should be good
I was actually wondering about that because I got q1 and q2 on TikTok HR a little too fast.
And Iām not cracked at LC
how was it
ended up having to withdraw my app
I did 1 and 2 without much problem. I saw 3 and noped out
I donāt remember
I just knew my brain wasnāt big enough
No interview yet. I only did it last week though.
i legit did not do any of the questions and still got an interview with tiktok
last year
dont ask me
nope
i have pure research on my resume
I did the OA in october, and out of nowhere mid jan they reached out
let me clarify, i did the OA but i was no new to lc style stuff i didnt answer any of them
I did open the OA and look at it for 45 minutes
bruh
i j had an interview where the guy asked me a fucking 2D dp
mega fucking hard
which company
same I literally just closed out of the OA and they still gave me phone
Does anyone know figma tc? Levels shows a wide range from $125k-255k for L1
which I choked on 
but also it was tiktok so bad wlb and it was for SDET not even SDE
my interviewer even said unprompted that tiktok is "intense"
some startup
Dang
Wats a good starting salary
Whatās avg for nyc lol
If anyone knows
Is 140-160k peanuts bad lol
I see people getting 200+
I thought nyc wasn't too bad in terms of crime when compared to other big cities? Though the vibe might not be good
Hmm I c
Which location? Don't think anyone's getting 200k outside of the bay area or new york
Which adjusted for col is about as much as 140-160k in another metro
Wrong I had a trading company for less lol
Yeah some trading companies lol
Sig should really increase their pay
That's an offer
To compete with other trading firms
They donāt pay their developers well
Compared to these other firms
But then again their interview was also p simple
The stories are bad, but do the stats back it up? No doubt crime is worse than pre-pandemic, but I've seen stats that say most other metros have crime rates as bad or worse right now
Any way I can prep for c1 powerday have mine on Wednesday
are ur friends sheltered
It's not an excuse as much as a different perspective
I mean you can say numerous subway shovings
Does anyone know what the process channels r for?
yeah to say what's going on in ur recruting process
they have some stat thing on the website
So we can pm for info?
It's hard to distinguish legitimate problems with crime from media outrage
sometimes people are open to do that
but like millions of people take the subway each day
Though feelings of safety absolutely matter
i would like to get advice from other people too
but anyways go to the c1 workshop, they cover the technical and case interviews
idk waht the c1 bheavioral is like though
I mean the media makes money off fear though
45 minutes of behavioral grilling sounds exhausting
there's like 2-3 million people using the subway each day
of course you're going to hear about the one person who got shoved
well the media makes money off of clicks and viewership
but that's a 1 and three million chance lmfao
but fear and anger are the best emotions to achieve that
Well itās too late now
again, I don't really worry about that stuff
I'm more likely to die climbing than a shooting on the train lmao
that's like saying you don't want to drive because there's a chance you could die in a car accident imo
but at the end of the day it's entirely up to what you feel comfortable with
when i fly i could not land in the net if i mess things up, but i still do it anyways
Normal
I don't think getting attacked on a train is 1 in 3 million
Why c1, talk about a project youāve worked on, etc
Def not
Gotta be less
When was the last time someone said a city has gotten safer?
