Hello,

I need many people's advice about my graduation.

I’m a MSCS Student and I have one semester left before my graduation. Because of the hiring freeze and layoff, I’m 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?

Delay graduation since your life depends on it

autumn ridge

Memorizing the pattern is the goal

How many days after karat for palantir do u hear back?

sonic coral
#

Isn’t your nyc offer still like 200k+

teal jackal
#

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

grizzled bronze
#

Tf, parents should be happy with whichever you choose

sonic coral
#

Yeah my parents were more like ā€œyou sure you can keep them waiting like that?ā€

teal jackal

#

honestly netflix's future is uncertain and trading firms are a whole different beast, idk about optiver but wlb can be bad in them

teal jackal
#

😭

#

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

jaunty basalt
gleaming fable
#

tech companies will always be there and making like 50k more and abandoning a life partner is not a worthwhile tradeoff imo

sonic coral
teal jackal
#

There is simply way too big of a mental barrier for me to accept an offer that pays 5 figures

gleaming fable
#

even 100k more, that doesn't make as big a diff if you're already clearing 200

jaunty basalt
#

Super hard

sonic coral

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

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

sonic coral
#

Like look at the new federal tax brackets for 2023

teal jackal

I'm worried that gas powered sports cars will be unaffordable by 2025

all the modern hypercars are hybrids btw

I used to drive a Honda

As a new grad

After job hop I'll get an m2

gleaming fable

#

That gen inline 6 is pretty reliable

sonic coral

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

gleaming fable

#

I think the e90 was dogshit quality

gleaming fable

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

sonic coral
teal jackal
#

E46 and e90 gen are time bombs tbh

sonic coral
#

If we talking shit that happened on the road tho

gleaming fable
#

if changing the oil is more than 2 easy steps I won't buy the car

sonic coral

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

Should’ve just signed for amphibious company lol

does anyone have the pdf for cracking the pm interview?

teal jackal

especially since i have no choice anyways

lament summit
#

why does it matter?

timber rock
#

probably less than 1 in 5 engineers are women so its not really that weird

teal jackal
#

fuck

#

this is eXACTLY why im depressed about the recession

timber rock
#

of course prestige mattyers lol

teal jackal
#

this is pretty much exactly why im so depressed and mopey this semester

lament summit
#

if ur going from a non-faang company to a faang level company ur gonna get downleveled 100%

teal jackal
#

all the effort in the world will be worthless

#

no going straight to SE2

#

man i was dealt a terrible deck this year

timber rock
#

thats exactly the reason why people go for faang internships so hard

lament summit
#

u'll just b slower, theres nothing wrong with that

teal jackal
#

thats why im depressed abt that

#

No

lament summit
#

stripe is a faang level company

teal jackal
#

we're talking about local company -> FAANG/unicorn

lament summit
#

probably even higher than faang

last summit
#

lol

#

bro

lament summit
#

lmao

last summit
#

stripe ~= G

#

in those terms

lament summit
#

faang level

teal jackal
#

local company -> FAANG/unicorn is hopping from within the same level

last summit
#

he means like

#

kroger

#

to facebook

lament summit
#

faangmula/unicorn

teal jackal
#

So SE1 at local company would get SE1 at a FAANG/unicorn

#

makes sense

#

fuck

#

the pressure is REALLY on now

lament summit
timber rock
#

i mean not necessarily

#

if you can prove you are se2 level then you will be se2

teal jackal
#

ill take that

#

ill be happy to know that

lament summit
#

but possible

teal jackal
#

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

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!

teal jackal
#

oh well

lament summit
#

just work for 2 months and apply lol

timber rock
#

not really much point in planning this far ahead considering for all we know big tech could still be frozen in a year

lament summit
#

aint nothing wrong with that

teal jackal
#

ill probably still be leetcoding after my first day of work as a new grad

timber rock
#

focus on getting the first job first

mild lantern
teal jackal
#

i do not think ill get into a target company

#

as a new grad

timber rock

instead of planning your 2nd, 3rd

getting a job at all will be great to me

is it bad to get rerouted to forward deployed engineer from software engineer?

lament summit
livid citrus
#

is it more competitive to get offer as fdse?

lament summit
last summit
#

doubt it

autumn ridge
livid citrus
#

interesting

timber rock
#

i would assume less people are applying for fdse but the hiring bar is likely the same

livid citrus
#

ya for palantir

last summit
#

im guessing more people want swe than fdswe but the bar is the same

teal jackal
#

the false positive theory for hiring:
thousands of false negatives wasted to weed out one false positive is worth it

lament summit
#

yea swe > fdse, since same pay, better wlb

teal jackal
#

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

last summit
#

anecdotally from what i hear fdswes learn a shitton and have more exit ops if that's of interest to you

autumn ridge
#

wish me luck palantir HM round in 15 min šŸ™

teal jackal
#

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

last summit
#

redirect that energy into prepping and getting it done

#

way more productive

teal jackal
#

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

last summit
#

its so easy to pass remotely while learning nothing tho lol

teal jackal

i understand why 99% of the world would be very unhappy

amazon on resume as a new grad has helped, but i feel like its more in the sense of

timber rock
#

what is your response rate

teal jackal

timber rock
#

ouch

gilded vortex
teal jackal

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

lament summit
#

ur like at 80%

#

21% is still insane

timber rock
#

im at 43% including rejections

#

i havent been keeping track of how much of that is auto oa's tho probably a sizable amount

teal jackal
#

i count all OAs as auto/worthless unless it actually leads to an interview

#

im very conservative with calculating my response rate

gilded vortex
#

Yeah doing good on OA and then being ghosted is worse than just auto reject

timber rock
#

ya im at 4% if you only include real interviews lol

ivory stratus
teal jackal
#

with YoE

than it is to get first job

or am i the minority here

right now

teal jackal

the minority of people who will hyperfixate on disappointing myself

even if in absolute terms its hardly a failure

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?

Does Fidelity allow full remote for new grad?

Has anyone interviewed with TikTok for the new grad DS position??

gilded vortex

tiktok is just always ghost

Has anyone interviewed at Five rings for their SDE role? How was the OA?

its not fixed per question you just have 45 mins to do as much as you can finish

you can but you don't really need to

cobalt ferry
#

has anyone done the first atlassian tech interview?

last summit
#

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

glass knoll
#

correctness is what matters. communication doesn’t really matter too much. my interviewer seems to not even care about what i think, just whether my code is correct

teal jackal
#

Referrals aren't that useful at the new grad level anymore

west egret
#

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

teal jackal

I feel like companies are realizing that referrals are easy to just cheese online

I just cold apply now since referral does nothing

that's like saying you don't want to drive because there's a chance you could die in a car accident imo
