did u do something about it

reef kettle
#

For every 60-ish minutes of being on a train I see the regular mentally unstable person having a breakdown, yelling and waving arms at people

sonic coral
#

crime went up nationwide

serene fable
#

My point exactly

serene fable
#

Nyc has its issues but it's hard to tell how bad it is compared to how it's covered

sonic coral
#

a large reason for all these wackjobs is the no bail thing

reef kettle
#

If all crimes were reported in the NYC subway, we wouldn't see that many "See something say something" posters

sonic coral
#

crazies do some crazy shit, get arrested then get let out same day

bold pier
#

Hardly any city is safe enough, but if you stay vigilant you can spend your entire life without any issues!

teal jackal
#

what? shit

serene fable
#

The price of living in a dense area is that people who make you uncomfortable get to live there too

sonic coral
#

well no if they actually properly charged people who get arrested it wouldn't be as bad

late kestrel
#

yeah this is literally the case everywhere though. nyc most likely doesnt have a disproportionate amount of unreported crimes

sonic coral
#

where do you live

#

well no shit

#

i mean what neighborhood

bold pier
#

Bad luck dude, you are that 1 in a million 😛 I've been in NYC for years and had no incident at all!

serene fable
hexed moth
#

tbh all im hearing is you're uncomfortable with poverty becoming more visible

sonic coral
serene fable
#

How long should people be in jail for shoplifting though?

sonic coral
#

thats the least of the concerns imo, its more that severe shit like assault is still zero bail

teal jackal
#

so true bestie haha

serene fable
#

Sure, but it shouldn't be a life sentence either, should it be more lenient or less?

sonic coral
#

yeah there's def some sketchier parts of downtown

serene fable
#

The cops aren't helping either, we need to fire the bad apples at least

#

Then people could at least trust them not to do stupid shit

sonic coral
#

i think it also varies depending on the subway line too

serene fable
#

Sure, but a few years can be life ruining in itself, I agree that some punishment is necessary as a deterrent, but the question is how much?

#

Criminal justice is hard y'all

hexed moth
#

things like shoplifting

teal jackal
#

what do u think c1 values?

hexed moth
#

like people dont want to shoplift

#

or a very few subset of shoplifters get off on it

#

it's because of poverty

fossil jewel
#

i was 5 minutes from the event

#

took me 3 hours to get home since i pass that station

hexed moth
#

"don't be poor"

sonic coral
#

ok to be fair that train shooting was def not the norm

#

was a massive anomaly for the area

serene fable
#

No issue with that, wondering how close that is to what's actually happening though

fossil jewel
#

always be vigilant

serene fable
#

There's got to be some middle ground here

gilded vortex
#

here in sf they have police or security in almost every store cause it's no longer a felony if shoplifters steal under $950 of goods

sonic coral
#

honestly tho this is an issue with a lot of big cities

#

like seattle has even more crazy homeless people than nyc imo

gilded vortex
#

most homeless are fine, but they are just unpredictable

sonic coral
#

yeah its the ones that are acting zonked out and yelling at people that you need to watch out for

serene fable
fossil jewel
#

bunch of women also wore neon latex suits and were harassing a couple of girls

#

nyc is like a gta online server tbh

sonic coral
#

oh you talking about the women in the green suits

sonic coral
#

but yeah weird shit happens on the subway

fossil jewel
#

yeah it was like what’s wrong with people

kind orbit
#

Yall, is it better to negotiate through email or thru phone?

#

also wondering if anyone has a template or specific things to mention for negotiation. This would be my first time negotiating

sonic coral
kind orbit
#

gotcha, that makes sense

#

how does negotiation work? Do i straight up say a number higher than my contract or do i just say could you do more?

ivory stratus
#

why not 4090 tho

#

sheeeee

#

arent stolen goods usually tax write offs anyway?

#

or covered by insurance?

autumn ridge
#

I would be shocked if they had them just on display

ivory stratus
#

locked displays

knotty talon
#

🤨

ivory stratus
#

i mean same thing as when 9/11 happened

#

same same but different

#

nah i meant for businesses

hexed moth
#

how many people here are asian

small mountain
#

🙋‍♂️

#

americans dont consider brown people asian

#

hexed moth
#

idk what tech industry demographics

timber rock
small mountain
fossil jewel
#

yeah i been harassed by a dude who's way bigger than i am for a good 10 minutes

#

it was an express train too so shit is annoying

sonic coral
#

True I can imagine it’s a whole diff exp as a woman alone

fossil jewel
#

i was on my way to school

#

like 9am

#

guy just starts throwing hispanic slurs bc he assumed im puerto rican for some reason

#

nothing has happened after with regards to stuff like that

#

take the car that has the conductor in it

#

look for those

sonic coral
#

Yeah some mentally ill person throwing slurs is pretty common sadly

fossil jewel
#

denotes the middle of station, aka where the conductor points and tells the doors to open

sonic coral
#

Also another pro tip @queen valve , if multiple people are moving to the next car, might be a good idea to follow them

fossil jewel
#

dont go in the empty cars it probably smells foul in there

sonic coral
#

Yeah avoid empty cars for sure

jaunty basalt
#

Wow, that’s the best way to sell a game

sonic coral
#

I will say tho after the Covid cleaning most of the trains I’ve ridden have been pretty clean

jaunty basalt
#

I don’t play ow, now I want to get into it

kind orbit
#

hiiiiii wondering if theres anyone who has successfully negotiated or knows how to and would like to help me out uwu

jaunty basalt
#

It’s the good side of me you know sure

kind orbit

compact obsidian

#

HachiYui > HachiYuki

foggy perch
#

what character and role tho

#

if you aren't a bastion/torb/doomfist main you're invalid

#

nah

tawdry skiff
#

overwatch is dumb now

foggy perch
#

doomfist mains in ow1 were based

#

disagree

#

name your main

#

so I can trash on it

reef kettle
#

Seniors who already have a job offer, how do you get over senioritis and actually get work done in these last 5-6 months of school

foggy perch
#

hm

#

ok I'm glad you didn't say mercy

#

since that's a whole different level

#

of trash

tawdry skiff
foggy perch
#

doomfist was the best

reef kettle
#

I'm being fucked my midterms and assignments etc but I just can't bring myself to care hahaha

foggy perch
#

it felt great to just go in

#

kill a support

#

and leave

tawdry skiff
#

it's just that easy

foggy perch
#

idk what problem you have with doomfist

reef kettle
#

@tawdry skiff I have 75% of the normal course load this semester luckily, but my powers have been zapped man. I'm still struggling hahaha

foggy perch
#

he was just so based of a character

tawdry skiff
#

roadhog hook v1 when

reef kettle
#

I know GPA doesn't matter but I really don't want to turn my 3.9 into a 3.4 because of laziness

tawdry skiff
foggy perch
#

whyyyy

#

what was your problem with doomfist

tawdry skiff
#

if the market wasn't shit, I would have alot of time for interviews

foggy perch
#

smh

reef kettle
#

Yea this semester I'm taking a social science and Inclusive Design

tawdry skiff
#

but now i'm just doing nothing

#

also fuck gen eds

reef kettle
#

But I'm still getting my ass beat simply because I can't bring myself to do anything

tawdry skiff
#

what a waste of money

foggy perch
#

ok but to be fair

#

widowmaker

#

is far more guilty of that

azure zephyr
#

doomfist as a tank is a joke

foggy perch
reef kettle
#

I go to a liberal arts college, so my gen eds are actually kinda fun tbh

#

I've just lost motivation for school

foggy perch
#

same for doomfist clearly

#

just play a champion that can't get hit by doomfist

#

smh

#

ez bastion counter

#

nah

#

doomfist changes in ow2 are garbage

tawdry skiff
foggy perch
#

just like the rest of ow2

reef kettle
#

Yeppp

tawdry skiff
#

I need to travel again

foggy perch
#

smh

#

bad taste

tawdry skiff
#

#

#

ah

foggy perch
#

imagine enjoying ow in 2022

tawdry skiff
#

man I miss bastion

foggy perch
#

you're a dying race

tawdry skiff
#

bastion was good

#

but

foggy perch
#

wtf

reef kettle
#

I bribed my gf with doing all the chores so she could help do my readings & discussion boards so I'm covered in that department

tawdry skiff
#

lmao

foggy perch
#

I s2g if those 3k hours are mostly on support

#

you're an objectively wrong person

foggy perch
#

disgusting

#

i despise playing support

reef kettle
#

Yeah sometimes I just go "I liked this reading" and rehash the first two paragraphs

tawdry skiff
#

all my classes are p/np grading

reef kettle
#

That's crazy man all pass/fail

tawdry skiff
#

so I just need to do the bare min

foggy perch
#

tank is tolerable because it's just a dps with extra steps

reef kettle
#

I'm taking my social science pass fail but it's actually hard

tawdry skiff
#

literally all gen eds

reef kettle
#

It's Phonology

tawdry skiff
#

you can p/np all non major specific courses

#

🙂

foggy perch
#

"smh support diff"

reef kettle
#

What's your entire course load this sem

tawdry skiff
#

I wish they bring out pve now

foggy perch
#

where's my rez

#

smh

tawdry skiff
#

since ow2 is bad

#

and pve was supposed to save it

tawdry skiff
#

doubt

#

they going to bring more heroes instead

reef kettle
#

Mine is:

  • Thermo & Fluid Mech (I'm a "General Engineering" major 🤦‍♂️ )
  • Inclusive Design
  • Phonetics & Phonology pass/fail
  • CS comprehensive (0 cred poster session)
tawdry skiff
#

need that hero skin to churn out money

reef kettle
#

Literally no CS classes

foggy perch
#

peak overwatch is if they removed widowmaker, all the supports, and hammond,

tawdry skiff
#

like the new legendary skin is just new leggings

foggy perch
#

valorant is a better game than ow tbh

azure zephyr
#

what rank are yall

tawdry skiff
reef kettle
#

Instead of a thesis we have to make an academic poster and present about a past CS project from one of our classes

reef kettle
#

Thanks G

tawdry skiff
#

the only C my brother got was in fluids

foggy perch
#

I think valorant allows for larger individual impact

#

which makes it feels better than ow

crude saffron
#

Valorant is slow?

foggy perch
#

more like sensory overload

reef kettle
azure zephyr
#

ive never taken overwatch, or any competitive game seriously since ive always been more of a single player/story game player

tawdry skiff
#

he was hella tilted since all of the other courses were A

foggy perch
#

I sure do love not being able to see shit in ow

crude saffron
#

The rounds end in like 30 seconds usually

azure zephyr
#

spent 200+ hours in ow1 but only bc i six stacked with my friends and we didnt care just wanted to shoot things

crude saffron
#

Have u considered taking drugs instead?

foggy perch
#

ow is just not being able to see or move for a year while being stunned and flashed by every champion

tawdry skiff
reef kettle
#

Loool your brother is me

crude saffron
#

All of them

foggy perch
#

sounds like masochism

tawdry skiff
reef kettle
#

My prof is 85 years old. He was a prof when another prof who now retired was a student

tawdry skiff
azure zephyr
#

ow2 is the first competitive game that ive taken seriously bc i did my placements and placed bronze 5 and that hurt my feelings LMAO. just hit gold 4 this afternoon dogesmile

reef kettle
#

The other day in lecture he wrote down a link on paper so we could access it

foggy perch
#

meh

tawdry skiff
#

oh there's new ranking

foggy perch
#

I feel like ow is a sinking ship either way

#

ow league is so dead

tawdry skiff
#

no more numbers for ranks?

foggy perch
#

after they invested an insane amount of money

#

into it

tawdry skiff
#

fuck

#

so no more like I'm in 2800 stfu nerd

azure zephyr
#

i was bronze in ow1 too i just didnt care back then

foggy perch
#

like it was so hype pre-covid

#

well at least it was for me

#

since me and some friends

#

had an ow fantasy league

#

where we drafted players

#

by now most of those players have probably quit or retired KEKW

tawdry skiff
#

time to play more ow2

azure zephyr
#

but i placed too low to play with my friends LMAO so i solo Q'd up to gold and now i can finally play with them again

#

so happy

foggy perch
#

imagine having friends that play ow

tawdry skiff
#

I need to be plat 5 so I can be toxic in voice

foggy perch
#

nah even my most hardcore ow friends a few years ago haven't touched the game in ages

#

since it's gotten so bland

azure zephyr
#

yeah so my bf peaked #2 tank in ow1

#

he tried to make a smurf to play with me and got placed diamond

tawdry skiff
#

oh I dont play role queue

azure zephyr
#

oh??

tawdry skiff
#

fuck role queue

#

why can't they figure out open queue

azure zephyr
#

wait no my bf was top 100 tank (angrycancer1), and my roommate was #2 support (yemori)

tawdry skiff
#

role queue is soo bad

azure zephyr
#

^ both console btw

foggy perch
#

console 🧐

crude saffron
#

Instead of ow u should grind codeforces

#

That’s a fun game

foggy perch
#

sounds about right

crude saffron
#

(Idk how to code)

azure zephyr
#

yeah console is its own world fr

foggy perch
#

i think valorant is a better game than ow, but it's so boring to learn line-ups

azure zephyr
#

its been dead for awhile tbh but hopefully with ow2 is revives itself again idk

foggy perch
#

I feel like ow2 hype was minimal

#

damn how many people you assault this year

azure zephyr
#

LMAO imma be real didnt know ppl were still deadass playing overwatch

#

thought we all came back for ow2 basically

#

ow2 is broken asf still cant see any of my stats

foggy perch
#

mfw when I meet an ow fan and they act like a blizzard employee

azure zephyr
#

ur ex and your bf was the same team

foggy perch
#

I mean... you did say ow is your personality 🧐

azure zephyr
#

messy

#

does your bf even have time to play ow anymore

#

with js

#

messy 😓

foggy perch
#

you aren't even working yet smh

#

so true

azure zephyr
#

school is constant worrying

foggy perch
#

agreed

#

but also I feel like i'm highkey less afraid of being fired than I am of the idea of failing a class

#

lmao

#

then you gotta make up all that shit

#

would not be a thing at my school lmao

#

most cs professors are not chill like that

#

it does checkout that the tryhard people in cs were also tryhard gamers

#

I remember meeting someone in a valorant game like a yer ago

#

or two

#

where their username was like FAANG or bust

#

or something like that

tawdry skiff
#

wait did they nerf hanzo storm arrows

foggy perch
#

bring back hanzo scatter arrows

#

those were the good days

#

just shoot at people's feet for that free kill

crude saffron
#

Don’t play Val nor ow

#

Play baccarat

#

Or craps

foggy perch
#

ew

crude saffron
#

Gambling is good

foggy perch
#

I don't think it's legal to touch fossils like that

crude saffron
#

This is very false

#

They’re on discord

#

Just not this one

#

The cp discord is popping lmao

#

Ic

jaunty basalt
#

Yeah bro we’re all a bunch of bums sure

foggy perch
crude saffron
#

I should get good at cp just so I can tell people to 1v1 binary search

jaunty basalt
foggy perch
#

on a side note

#

why are there barely any big franchise singleplayer games releasing lately smh

jaunty basalt
#

I do need a game

azure zephyr
#

at least god of war is coming

jaunty basalt
#

No

foggy perch
#

only good singleplayer game I've seen released lately was elden ring which I played a bunch of

jaunty basalt
#

I’m sorry

foggy perch
#

been ages since another persona game

jaunty basalt
#

Ow is up there sure

foggy perch
#

I just want another yoko taro game

#

the good stuff

jaunty basalt
#

I just want a good fps game

#

Halo infinite has zero content

sonic coral
foggy perch
#

i tried halo master chief collection

#

but halo 1 was just so boring

jaunty basalt
#

That’s just old games

#

I did get it for free though

sonic coral
#

man

jaunty basalt
#

With my msft rewards points yep

sonic coral
azure zephyr
sonic coral
#

damn shame what happened to halo

foggy perch
#

all the peak games I've played recently aren't even new ones sadly

jaunty basalt
sonic coral
jaunty basalt
#

Msft baby sadge

sonic coral
foggy perch
#

like peak games I've played are Terraria, Persona, Nier, Elden Ring, DS1, DS2, Witcher 3

sonic coral
#

its so sad

jaunty basalt
#

Terraria is a banger

foggy perch
#

agreed

sonic coral
#

Cyberpunk seems to be on the rebound

foggy perch
#

i feel like there are no games out there that remotely match it in the same niche

jaunty basalt
foggy perch
#

like starbound tries

sonic coral
#

thats what i heard

foggy perch
#

but it's doghsit

sonic coral
#

i havent played it since launch

#

but i heard they actually fixed it now

foggy perch
#

I wish cyberpunk was 3rd person combat still

azure zephyr
#

what happened with cyberpunk is so sad

foggy perch
#

idk going from witcher 3 to cyberpunk felt like such a downgrade in combat and setting

jaunty basalt
sonic coral
#

cyberpunk was god awful at launch but it might pull a no mans sky potentially

foggy perch
#

fantasy >>>>>> scifi setting in video games

sonic coral
#

also there's a sequel planned apparently

crude saffron
#

Minecraft

azure zephyr
#

harry potter game im so hype for

foggy perch
sonic coral
sonic coral
foggy perch
#

we'll all be in retirement homes by the time a cyberpunk 2 is released

#

lmao look how long it took for 1

crude saffron
#

Studio Trigger has a very distinct flavor to their shows

foggy perch
#

to me it doesn't have the same appeal as witcher 3

#

which had like

sonic coral
#

cyberpunk the game itself was ass

foggy perch
#

a world where we discovered the horrible monnsters

sonic coral
#

but the world/lore is insane

foggy perch
#

Did you play Replicant tho

crude saffron
#

If you liked kill la kill you will most likely like bitten Lagann

foggy perch
#

play replicant smh

#

yes for story

sonic coral
#

yeah lol cyberpunk was dogshit but apparently its actually fixed now

foggy perch
#

combat is alright

jaunty basalt
#

The people that got far in cyberpunk might not go back

sonic coral
#

like mad people started playing it after edgerunners

foggy perch
#

to me Nier story + settings > gameplay

#

and soundtrack

crude saffron
#

I’m gonna buy 9999 manga sets and visual novel games with my signing

foggy perch
#

but also Nier Automata contains so many story nods to Nier Replicant

#

since it's a sequel

dusky plover
#

play wolf among us

foggy perch
#

i also think the best part of the nier franchise is the fact it all stems from a joke ending

#

of a different game franchise

#

but also huh

#

so did you just think

#

emil was some weirdo

#

the whole time you played automata

#

that sure is a different perspective lmao

#

there's so much other content

#

I can think of

#

that you must've saw so differently

crude saffron
#

I should get persona

foggy perch
#

probs

#

play p3 first, else it'll look so ugly if you go backwards

#

well

#

actually idk

jaunty snow
foggy perch
#

Persona 5 royal

#

is your best chance of liking persona

dusky plover
#

p5r just released on steam

foggy perch
#

since it's objectively a better game

#

yep

dusky plover
#

the music was way nicer in 5

jaunty snow
#

love that game, worth the experience

dusky plover
#

but 4 has a better story and chars

foggy perch
dusky plover
#

Yu Narakami

#

bro i just realized hachiyuki is a reference to oregairu

hexed moth
#

lmao best girl?

#

both games have underage girls bro

vital meteor
#

P5 is nice

foggy perch
#

damn I didn't know you were such an oregairu fan

#

crazy

#

obviously your pfp is anime because anime = oregairu

dusky plover
#

what if u got it from a ow pro player and the pro player got it from the show

#

man i hope they made the preliminaries

rain patio
#

weeb

dusky plover

#

i dunno, sounds like a weeb move to convert a number and word into japanese

pure mauve
#

Serious question guys

ivory stratus
#

you can't have $1mil from me

pure mauve
#

Will having an offer deadline change your chances of getting accepted or rejected

#

I feel like it could help make you seem you are valued more

ivory stratus
#

no they don't care about that

#

if you pass the interview, you pass the interview

fossil jewel
#

i mean it expedited some things for me

ivory stratus
#

i think the only thing it would do is speed up the process and that's it

fossil jewel
#

though part of me thinks that having my bbg vo really close to my deadline caused the reject as well since i still needed EM and HR but its mainly my shortcomings

gilded vortex
#

bruh i just did phone with bloomberg on friday and then they scheduled the vo for dec 10

#

lmao

fossil jewel
#

i mean at least they're still scheduling

#

i think they got a feeling ppl will renege or take different offers

ivory stratus
#

the behavioral might not be as weighted though

gilded vortex
#

I think I might just decline since I would have already signed a different offer by then

ivory stratus
#

like if you bombed behavioral at Amazon, it doesn't matter if you have an offer for every other FAANG, they'll reject you

fossil jewel

is there anyone in chicago right now for drw

I think bbg only interviews those in school rn

And not industry hires

shrewd ocean
#

still waiting to hear back from them after vo1

#

hoping they dont ghost lol

wheat seal
#

Multiple?

#

Ur from uk right

shrewd ocean
#

wheat seal
#

Just means u have to take another day off or wait longer

uncut umbra
#

bb is doing like non-tagged questions now right

#

for vo's

shrewd ocean
#

yes

uncut umbra
#

oh fuck

teal jackal
#

this season is so stressful

#

what does non-tagged mean

#

is it still LC

#

or sysdesign

west egret
#

I got asked non-tagged too tbh

#

About 50%

teal jackal
#

is it LC?

#

and standard algo style shit

livid citrus
#

Who is all in Palantir FDE process currently?

foggy perch
#

like variations at least

foggy perch
#

since bb vo question I got was a basic variation of bfs path finding

uncut umbra
west egret
#

I used the same approach for one of my non-tagged as a tagged q

foggy perch
#

yep

vast rock
#

yall whats the best excuse to reschedule an interview

uncut umbra
#

bfs pathfinding is tagged?

west egret
#

There was a slight change that required me to adjust

wheat seal
#

I don’t think that’s a good one

#

Unless it’s real

vast rock
#

but i wanna reschedule like 2 weeks ahead of time

#

LOL

foggy perch
#

ez

vast rock
#

cuz i sent in availabilities for 2 companies literally gave them 2 weeks of windows and they happened to schedule on top of each other like wtf

foggy perch
#

oh

#

2 weeks ahead of time rip

wheat seal
foggy perch
#

tell them you got jury duty

#

ez

wheat seal
#

Like scheduling 2 weeks ahead of time is chill

#

Now 2 days before is kinda rough

foggy perch
#

but also you could probs be honest tbh

last summit
#

@vast rock just tell the one you like less that you have a last minute change in availability and need to reschedule

#

and if it happens again then reschedule the other one so you only do it once per company

#

shouldnt need to say more

teal jackal
#

im stressed af

#

this is more stressful than anything elsse ive ever done in life

vast rock
#

oh well

tawdry skiff
vast rock
#

i do what i have to do ig

last summit
#

if your interviewer really has to take a shit and misses your slot they aren't gonna tell you that they just have a last minute change in plans 4KEKW

#

and its not like theres any expectation that you're only interviewing with one company at at time anyway

Utilize it mane

1AM ZE_COLLECTIVE ATTEMPT

#

i cope with graduating into a recession by telling myself that im going to knock my job hop out of the park and get somewhere amazing as an industry hire by 2025

#

some may think that im being unhealthy by fixating on this so hard, but i say that this goal is good for me

#

hyperfixating on this goal gives me something actionable

#

additionally, it also lets me relax a little more in the present

#

one of ur goals should be to go to therapy

teal jackal
#

i mean actionable relative to my career situation

#

i dont believe in therapy

#

i dont think its a meaningful solution

hexed moth
#

im sorry

teal jackal
#

i think its a coping mechanism

#

more than a solution

hexed moth
#

what you're doing is coping

teal jackal
#

im not offended by your suggestion but i fundamentally disagree with therapy personally

hexed moth
#

hey and that’s totally fine but what you outlined is effectively coping as well

gilded vortex
#

bloomberg has 2 part vo?

#

if my vo1 is scheduled for dec, will my part 2 be in jan

#

lmao

late kestrel
#

depends on what schedule youre on/availability. mine was scheduled 2 days later

gilded vortex
#

^ I hate companies that do that. Give out free OA, and then reject. Waste of time

teal jackal
#

is OA semi-automatic then for expeida? thats what it sounds like

#

automatic if yourr strength assessment score is satisfactory

#

thats my guess

#

based on the discussion here

#

i never got OA fyi

#

no hackerank

#

drive was my only weakness

#

honestly my only advice is that just assume that the process everywhere is arbitrary and bullshit

forest aspen
#

drive was my only weakness also

ivory stratus
#

Drive was my only weakness

#

i guess im never getting an expedia OA

no worries

#

Is amazon still going strong? Last I heard they are slow hiring right?

compact obsidian
#

i mean google process is not much better than others

#

in fact i'd say it's worse lol

forest aspen
#

google is the only company that reaches out to me for interviews

#

but i feel if you got one interview

compact obsidian
#

definitely lol

forest aspen
#

it is easier to get a second one

compact obsidian
#

companies will always ghost and reject regardless of how good potential candidates are in the pipeline if headcount is filled

#

and lots of companies these days have lowered headcount

#

msft basically rejected everyone in the pipeline this year when headcount was filled

forest aspen
#

he knows whats up

loud ivy
#

This is my dream:
Hello Google, after careful consideration, I've decided to pursue another company that is more qualified. I understand that hiring candidates is a tough process and I wish you luck in this season's hiring. I will be working at Albertsons in a few weeks, cya!

You can get rejected from google after passing onsite

Google has one of the worst process

U know what I’ve wondered. If u have 10 yrs industry experience. And u get a masters full time. During break, can u be an intern?

late kestrel
#

usually they require x years or less experience in general

just for that reason

A lot of them

i find that a lot of recommended linkeidn job posts are ones that have come out for 2+ weeks tho

i like to be early in applying, it usually helps with callbacks

plush schooner

im sure indeed is okay with fake posts tho. that means more revenue for them lmaoo

Indeed has some hood jobs tho

#

My phone last year was basically about a dozen back to back questions

marsh sand
#

and all the LCs are just tagged Qs right?

sonic coral
#

The guy literally said “hey how’s it going” then jumped right in to asking

#

I was asked everything from unix commands, to how the unix shell works, networking, an lc medium, some more shell stuff

Fuck you visa for ghosting me eat this put

Might’ve been a lil less than a dozen in hindsight actually

Everything was LC med level

and I'm far from being cracked at LC

Makes sense; time to grind LC

Damn that’s rough

LC premium was my best investment this season

worth the $123

Oh wait actually with the behaviorals on the phone there might’ve been around a dozen actually

Because in addition to all the systems shit they ask resume grilling stuff and general behavioral too

verbal wagon

Oof I’ll just take it as practice lol

#

It’s 1 hour long

verbal wagon
#

Thank you for info!

sonic coral
#

Mine was 45min

#

But yeah de shaw is absolutely brutal

#

And after all that shit I didn’t even get a reason for my rejection

#

I literally got up to the final stage which is code samples and references

Except they didn’t ask me those because I got rejected

Any expert on untapped? This is such a fucked up platform. I applied to DoorDash a month ago, probably through untapped. Got immediate confirmation from DoorDash that they received my application. I thought it was all good. However, today I found in my trash box emails from untapped that I needed to complete my profile before they "boost" my application to DoorDash

#

I just did that and got "Confirmation of application submission to DoorDash" from untapped. Does that mean DoorDash never received my application the whole time lol

teal jackal
#

Anyways I've noticed that for game dev, the process starts later
Most game studios I applied to so far rejected me because of grad date, they usually say to apply closer to graduation
Tbh I just don't have the mental energy to wait until a month before graduation to start applying
I don't want to graduate unemployed
I want to have something lined up
Sooner the better yk

#

or i might lie and say i graduate dec 2022

Ive seen conflicting answers for remote work and taxes - is it illegal for me to say my residence is my permanent address (where my parents live) and get taxed for that state but work in an lcol area?

verbal wagon
#

Sounds good, thanks a lot!

cobalt siren
#

More specifically my parents live in California but my campus housing is in the Midwest and I have a remote offer

autumn ridge
teal jackal
#

the IRS is too bitchmade to go after billionaires so they compensate by going after regular people who just got refunded an extra $27

#

Also you would want to talk to tax professional because every state has different tax rules to be able to make an intelligent decision and know what is allowed and what's not.

teal jackal
#

i wouldnt risk it

cobalt siren
#

Gotcha that’s fair

#

Thank you

#

Yeah the lcol salary is like 145k tc which is insane for my area anyways

145k in lcol is goated

I was excited about the $25 git card, but I'm not a CodeSignal customer, so I don't qualify. Not sure why I received this email. kekw_recession_edition

cobalt siren
#

I have offer for Veeva which is 125k tc ignoring sign on bonus (since u have to return if you leave within 2 years) but if I pass Atlassian final it’s 144ktc

#

And I’m staying in the Midwest

autumn ridge
#

why would you want your residence in california though? You have to pay more taxes?

cobalt siren
#

Well in my mind even with the higher taxes associated with the much higher salary zone for Atlassian the living costs here is cheap

#

So I think it’d be much better

#

But the pay for the lcol zone is really good anyways

#

Maybe I’m wrong about the residency tho

grizzled bronze
cobalt siren
#

They don’t even pro rate unfortunately

#

But I’m not complaining tho the tc is really good for my area

Yeah that'd be a dealbreaker for me, since I would probably wanna bounce after a year

I’m not tripping tho, the offer beats anything in this area by a mile

just did vanguard final (was 3 hours kekw_recession_edition long) anyone has experiences with vanguard?
