[sonic coral]

Midtown east is way nicer

[lament summit]

rip

[fossil jewel]

ye i asked someone who works there

[lament summit]

i heard theres still dinner tho no>

[fossil jewel]

not super sure

i assumed it meant all food is no longer free

[runic wind]

Dinner but no lunch?

[summer ether]

Dinner is usually the meal people skip tho cuz they want to leave the office

[lament summit]

gg

[lament summit]

lowkey super smart from bb

but shit towards their employees

[sonic coral]

Ugh g pushed dinner to 6:30 from 4:30 tell me about it

[runic wind]

Oh no

[fossil jewel]

smh

no more laundry in office, failing company

[runic wind]

This

[sonic coral]

Amazon occasionally gives free food

[tawdry skiff]

The problem was people was togo ing dinner

[sonic coral]

Once in a blue moon

[runic wind]

Does G have free laundry

[lone rapids]

December and January would have another wave of companies right?

[tawdry skiff]

So they moved time

[sonic coral]

Like they had free ice cream one time

[fossil jewel]

smh

[tawdry skiff]

Did Google change the bus schedule too like Facebook

[runic wind]

True
This is the first question I am in any em interview

[sonic coral]

Not that I’m aware of

[fossil jewel]

next up they're gonna ask you to do your laundry at home

[tawdry skiff]

Where you pick bus home or dinner?

[sonic coral]

We have showers

[runic wind]

Broke ass company

[lament summit]

we got free beer and bananas

and wine

every thursdays

[sonic coral]

Bro you had free beer at zon where tf was that shit in Seattle

[runic wind]

every 4 years

[lament summit]

worked at Amazon Robotics

it was in the factory

[fossil jewel]

snacks at jp werent really free but there was no one who could really enforce that, its a self-checkout system and no one cares too much

[lament summit]

the funny thing is that the hourly wage ppl werent allowed to drink any of that

oh there was also a security guard making sure u didnt put them in ur bag

[fossil jewel]

used to just take lacroix and gummy bears no one cared

[teal jackal]

even free lunch sounds kickass at work tbh

[teal jackal]

caste system at zon

all people are treated as shit, but some people are treated more shit than others

yeah why its to me

i wish i could work somewhere with free lunch

[tawdry skiff]

You just had to go to the right building

[teal jackal]

im since ill be working for less money, less prestige, and imma have to buy my own lunch

[tawdry skiff]

Free Apple hard cider if you do it right

[teal jackal]

tbh without free lunch i have zero incentive to go in office

[lament summit]

go to startup

every startup has free food

unicorn*

[fossil jewel]

job hop down the line

after 1 yr

[teal jackal]

It's like the problem is that if i go in office I usually end up peer pressured into buying lunch with others

[sonic coral]

This some team specific stuff huh

[teal jackal]

but if im fully remote

no commute and no need to order lunch

[fossil jewel]

i did like getting lunch with the other interns ngl

[tawdry skiff]

I just asked around, found it and just yoinked

[summer ether]

If I'm remote I get bored and don't do any work

[sonic coral]

Lmfao nice

[fossil jewel]

i was stealing snacks in office

[tawdry skiff]

You can do the same

[teal jackal]

i did like it but its costly

[tawdry skiff]

Well, Google fun budget is probs dry at this point

[sonic coral]

I mean we have tgif still

[tawdry skiff]

When the fun budget is back

[sonic coral]

So there’s free alc

[fossil jewel]

yeah ppl did that too

we just went to the cafeteria or played pool during lunch

[summer ether]

If I was decent at cooking that would be an option

[teal jackal]

tbh buying lunch with colleagues is just costly

i dont want to do it too often

id rather have free lunch or eat at home

usually i feel like as a new grad, new grads get peer pressured into ordering lunch with colleagues every day

[fossil jewel]

nah not really

[sonic coral]

I mean if your office has cafes there’s nothing wrong with bringing your own sandwich for lunch

[teal jackal]

i do not want to spend that money

[tawdry skiff]

Free breaky and lunch

[teal jackal]

oh well

i think ill work somewhere with free lunch another day

[tawdry skiff]

Dinner is whatevs

[teal jackal]

not as a new grad

[sonic coral]

But yeah seriously just bring your own sandwich if your colleagues are buying stuff in the office cafes

[tawdry skiff]

Where do you work rn?

[teal jackal]

nowhere LOL

previously at zon

[tawdry skiff]

Oh kek

Yeah Zon not cheap

[fossil jewel]

how much was/is it

[tawdry skiff]

You eat at restaurants and food carts

[lament summit]

zon food is nasty at least at the warehouses

[tawdry skiff]

Like $16 for lunch?

[lament summit]

10$ quesadilla with no meat

[fossil jewel]

thats a lot

[lament summit]

[fossil jewel]

ngl my jp food was way better

[sonic coral]

I mean their office burritos weren’t the worst price

For seattle downtown at least

[fossil jewel]

a nice plate of salmon with penne pasta and sauce, and they cook it in front of you for $8

[tawdry skiff]

Nah the office food was meh

[sonic coral]

Oh quality yeah

I mean price

[fossil jewel]

they had a chipotle/mexican like food and it was cheaper than chipotle

[tawdry skiff]

Rather walk the 2 blocks for better for

[teal jackal]

bruh i just want free food someday

[sonic coral]

Yeah sometimes I was on a tight schedule and couldn’t afford walking 2 blocks lol

[tawdry skiff]

Bruh I'm not paying for cheaper baby food

[tardy geode]

need prayge boost fam ,inbox dry asf

[teal jackal]

free food is an incentive to go in-office

[sonic coral]

Lowkey ended up eating shake shack for lunch 90% of the time cuz it was right outside

[fossil jewel]

yum

[teal jackal]

i feel like free lunch is the best incentive for RTO

[tawdry skiff]

PETRONAS was even closer to doppler

[fossil jewel]

[teal jackal]

like full timers on my amazon team showed up at most once every 2 weeks

since there is literally no reason to bother coming

[sonic coral]

I went out for poke with some peeps pretty often tho that was fun

[teal jackal]

free food would make a lot of people RTO

[tawdry skiff]

I got a lot of pho that year

[fossil jewel]

yum

[sonic coral]

I forgot the name of the building I mained

[teal jackal]

but tbh as an intern, i had the money doesnt matter mentality

[fossil jewel]

[sonic coral]

Was in the downtown cluster for sure

[tawdry skiff]

Good enuf

Now get me into kayak in Fremont

[teal jackal]

i will slut for a company for free lunch

[tawdry skiff]

I want my free Google pizza

[sonic coral]

Ended up having to switch to a diff one halfway through when they yeeted the agile desks lol

[fossil jewel]

[sonic coral]

Maybe that’ll jog your memory lol

[teal jackal]

man thats tragic that bloomberg has no lunch and mandatory rto

[tawdry skiff]

No idea

[teal jackal]

[sonic coral]

Gotta hit up yogi for that one chief

[teal jackal]

because i know that if im gonna RTO with no free lunch, ill be ordering

[lament summit]

wtf

rip

[teal jackal]

and that adds up

[tawdry skiff]

[teal jackal]

so quickly

ordering lunch every day really adds up

[lament summit]

damn bb is 100% in person

[teal jackal]

yeah everyone gotta be able to come in office

[lament summit]

oh thats a lil better

[fossil jewel]

yeah fully remote isnt really my thing

[sonic coral]

Hybrid is def best

[fossil jewel]

only W is no commute but in person i just network better

[sonic coral]

Some days you just wanna stay home

Lowkey the best is hybrid with your manager in another state

Zero pressure to go to office

You go when you want

[lament summit]

i prefer the option to go whenever i want

[fossil jewel]

my manager was extremely chill, as long as i told him im not going, he's okay with it

[teal jackal]

yeah i prefer hybrid with optional RTO twice a week

tats my ideal

[tawdry skiff]

Unless manager checks your badge access history

[teal jackal]

buying lunch twice a week isnt that bad

[tawdry skiff]

[lament summit]

mines is no RTO whatsoever

[sonic coral]

I mean if your manager is that neurotic you’ve got bigger issues to worry about

[teal jackal]

pinterest is so nice

fuck

[tawdry skiff]

[teal jackal]

230k tc and i can live in my moms basement

IF I GOT IN

[tawdry skiff]

Boomer

[teal jackal]

tbh once a week mandatory RTO is acceptable to me

[sonic coral]

Boomer

[fossil jewel]

boomer

but i agree lol

[teal jackal]

ill compromise for up to 2 days of mandatory RTO

but 5 days of RTO and im throwing hands

[tawdry skiff]

Ideal is 100 remote and team off site excursions

[fossil jewel]

i remember my internet cutting off during my final internship presentation

[sonic coral]

Stop reminding me about the fun budget

[fossil jewel]

nyc got too hot that day

[tawdry skiff]

Lawyers have it good

[teal jackal]

[rain patio]

[fossil jewel]

[teal jackal]

[knotty talon]

Oh thats nice

[zinc bear]

[jaunty basalt]

I thot u were at the Halloween party

[teal jackal]

do the interviews get harder?

[rain patio]

Wfh today. No lunch no me at office

[teal jackal]

[jaunty basalt]

I’m not going into office until end of next week

[neat shore]

Yeah it’s 4 LC

[zinc bear]

nope

[neat shore]

Did you get the offer

[teal jackal]

do they cover all paradigms

[zinc bear]

i dropped out of process after 2nd interview actually

[teal jackal]

binary search is my weakness

[zinc bear]

bc i signed another offer

[teal jackal]

im gonna study bsearch

[zinc bear]

so idk abt the later rounds

[teal jackal]

congrats

thanks for the insights

do they have any behavioral component or nah

[livid pagoda]

anyone got ghosted after VO's from bloomberg? or everyone got their response on the same day?

[fossil jewel]

got rej the day after

but i was on a deadline so thats why i heard back faster

[teal jackal]

i took my phone interview on tuesday

but havent heard back yet

was able to answer questions fully but communication skills was weak for me

[rustic vessel]

What gets asked in palantir hm?

[neat shore]

Does anyone know about atlassian final

[bright mountain]

how do u prep for palantir onsite

[knotty talon]

I hate any binary search question

I feel like i always fuck up random shit like whether search until topidx > bottomidx or topidx >= bottomidx

[lament summit]

those are some thick names

I just call it l or r

[brave dirge]

i heard for hive ai it does get harder esp final rounds

[neat shore]

So do they ask LC hard in the later rounds

[brave dirge]

i heard so but im not there yet

[iron lily]

has anyone here ever interned at the IS&T org at Apple (or is familiar with it)

[steep forge]

nah wdym we are having the time of our life kirb!

i heckin love working at Meta!!1!

[hexed grove]

Has anyone got Knight's Dialer nor mirror reflection from Bloomberg for new grad interviews?

[icy rover]

old mission full

[foggy perch]

rip

[icy rover]

Thank you for your continued patience with us as we go through the recruiting process. We recently had to slow the interview process for everyone involved due to us being close to capacity for our new-grad class for 2023. That said, at this time, we have filled our new-grad software engineering class for 2023. Please note, you did well on your 2nd round interview, and would have warranted a final round interview.

[foggy perch]

make sense

omc is a tiny company to be fair

[wicked rivet]

lol i got the same email

cap i did not do well enough to pass

my guy asked me what the average chain length of a dictionary in python was

[foggy perch]

I just gave up on HFTs this year tbh, since I have nowhere near enough c++ and systems knowledge

huhh really

wtf is a chain length lmao

[icy rover]

i just got a coding problem

dont think i had any technical questions

[foggy perch]

I just never did OMC oa since it sounded too hard

[wicked rivet]

i killed the coding problem but he asked systems followups

zzz

[foggy perch]

i'm banking on my bb training arc giving me enough c++ and systems knowledge to try for hft next time

[wicked rivet]

omc oa was hard but not as hard as others i've seen

[icy rover]

it was almost the exact same format as my data structures final

so i got lucky i guess

[icy rover]

it seems like they also ask a lot of concurrency

[runic wind]

Weirdly worded lol

[uncut umbra]

does anyone know what the visa process is

got the questionnaire, had first round interview (phone) last wednesday, and then got invited to a recruiter call today

[snow blade]

Anyone know if the Goldman Sachs OA is automatic? Got an email for it at a weird hour

[late kestrel]

im pretty sure its auto and im pretty sure theyre not hiring ngs

[hidden fable]

Anyone interviewed with Exoduspoint for Infrastructure Graduate Analyst role?

[distant rampart]

literally every week more companies are going on hiring freeze.. im starting to lose hope

[hexed grove]

Cuz those questions don’t make any sense to me lol. So I wanted to know if people have seen them in the last few months

[snow blade]

Where'd you hear that from

[neat shore]

I got their OA and i got perfect on that but I haven’t heard back yet

Acc my OA was for junior trader

[late kestrel]

the fact that no one has interviewed with them and theyve already sent out loads of rejects

[timber rock]

I havent heard anyone get past the oa

[snow blade]

Damn well I guess its worth a shot anyways

[uncut umbra]

I got a perfect score in 17 minutes

rejected

[timber rock]

Yea I got perfect in like 20 mins but I haven't heard anything yet

[snow blade]

[uncut umbra]

has anyone done imc graduate trader hackerrank

[brittle sigil]

i have a new grad offer but still considering switching careers with the growth potential for next 3-4 years looking bleak

[uncut umbra]

I feel like if you get some kind of a role now you can leverage that into something huge after the recession ends

[split plaza]

bunch of behaviorals and typically 1 LC

[mystic depot]

mind DM?

[distant rampart]

i just hope companies are just over-reacting and will start to hire many ppl next year...before i graduate

[brittle sigil]

that dynamic is true, some amount of new grads are gonna be pushed out of the field over the next few years, when hiring rebounds, higher demand than the supply of people with the needed level of experience since everyone pushed out didn't gain experience

[brittle sigil]

doubtful, if anything this is only the beginning of a larger downturn 😦

[sonic coral]

Recession is just barely beginning my friend

[uncut umbra]

if nothing else, as cs grads we have some inelasticity in our market

we usually aren't hit hard unless the recession starts with our industry

could also just be

[brittle sigil]

don't really see any way we escape without more layoffs of senior engineers, and it's likely that whenever tech companies rebound with lower interest rates, those lower interest rates will be happening because of weakness in the other f500 companies still hiring strong right now

[tawdry skiff]

Stocks only go up

Less base, more stocks

[low scroll]

nahh

i think we are hit one of the hardest

at least this recession

[dusky plover]

my failures are only bc recession i swear ong

[ebon quiver]

wait bruh

companies make u pay for transportation for onsites

hell naw

[wind drum]

what company does that

[ebon quiver]

yext

they just told me where the office is ...

breh

[wind drum]

damn imagine if more companies did that

and u spend a ton of money flying to places and fail them all

[ebon quiver]

yeah imagine u had to actually pay

[sonic coral]

This is true

[latent sun]

Anyone know the offers for atlassian?

also

is it negotiable

[cobalt siren]

Not negotiable

[cobalt siren]

For the lowest paying zone I got 145k tc

First year

[rugged spindle]

typically whats the revert back time after bb phone?

been a week no response, interview went well tho :/

[tawdry skiff]

it's simple, I get fucked

[wind drum]

i think it's like 184k -> 170k in tier 2 zones like Seattle, Boston etc.

tier one is ~200 something -> 180 something

but that's only bay area

[latent sun]

ooh ok

not bad

thats solid

plus they let you travel

[wind drum]

yeah it's just annoying nyc isn't tier 1

[latent sun]

3 months max per location

[wind drum]

like worldwide?

[latent sun]

yeah

[wind drum]

wait what damn i didn't know that

[latent sun]

talked to interviewer

told me his team mate

went to india for 3 months

or 2**

and you can take a summer vacation

digital nomad style

lowk very very appealing

but i already accepted bloomberg lmao

[wind drum]

wait i thought u accepted amazon

[latent sun]

oh nah

[jaunty basalt]

Atlassian is ~185 for nyc

[tardy geode]

interview getting cancelled hours before the interview on the interview day is the worst thing ever 😭

[jaunty basalt]

And it’s the same with Seattle

[tawdry skiff]

not 200k

bust

[jaunty basalt]

I mean I didn’t take my Atlassian offer

[cobalt siren]

Atlassian offer very worth if you live in lcol area

[tardy geode]

i am so pissed smh

[teal jackal]

damn

[jaunty basalt]

It’s nuts for LCOL

[cobalt siren]

If I follow 30% rent rule I can afford almost 2k a month post tax for apartment which is a ridiculous amount

[jaunty basalt]

And they have work from anywhere for idk how long

[cobalt siren]

Yeah it’s ridiculous

[cobalt siren]

I’m hoping it’s for at least another few years haha

I don’t want to relocate

[wind drum]

i think they are pretty set on remote first

[tawdry skiff]

@jaunty basalt where did you end up going?

[jaunty basalt]

No like on top of remote, where you can be remote from

[cobalt siren]

People I’ve talked to said they’ve done a really good job with remote work for new grads

[jaunty basalt]

Like for example my Apple offer

Super RTO

But there is I think 2 weeks of work from anywhere

[cobalt siren]

Oh gotcha

[jaunty basalt]

Ignoring how short 2 weeks is

Same idea

[latent sun]

yeah atlassian is such a good offer tbh

[jaunty basalt]

It is

Very hard to decline

[latent sun]

yeah

wait atlassian vs bloomberg?

[jaunty basalt]

I took Bloomberg

[wind drum]

if u want nyc then bbg

[tawdry skiff]

oh shit

[jaunty basalt]

But I have my reasons

[tawdry skiff]

bust

[cobalt siren]

I took Atlassian over Bloomberg but because of remote

[tawdry skiff]

bbg is 200k right?

[cobalt siren]

So depends on what you value

[cobalt siren]

No unless you negotiate

[latent sun]

TC doesn't matter like sure its 180k atlassian vs 235k FY 185 recurring bbg
but remote is so so so good

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah I declined a lot of places

[stone kettle]

anyone have recent data on SIG SWE ng tc?

levels giving me confusing info

[jaunty basalt]

I made the right choice for sure

Yeah see I hate remote

[latent sun]

Agreed

interviewer told me that is one issue. that the team doesn't feel connected

[tawdry skiff]

isn't SIG low on their swe salary compared to the traders

[stone kettle]

ive heard ~120k

but then ive seen some people claim it pays really well

[native lantern]

whats asked in recruiter call for Palantir

[tawdry skiff]

it's probably the traders

or the interns basing on their salary

[stone kettle]

general swe vs forward-deployed

[graceful nest]

anyone know wat tc diff between palantir seattle and nyc is

[glass knoll]

like they asked you what the difference is?

[stone kettle]

no which u would prefer

[native lantern]

like what difference is or what do u prefer and why

[stone kettle]

or which ur more interested in

[cerulean basin]

You can only use this command in 2022_winter_intern_process, 2022_summer_intern_process, 2022_grad_process, 2022_fall_intern_process, 2023_summer_intern_process, 2023_winter_intern_process, 2023_grad_process

[stone kettle]

lol

[native lantern]

is the other stuff just general behavioral stuff then

[glass knoll]

got it. i remember being asked that in the application as well.

[native lantern]

i have it in 3 hours lol

[stone kettle]

my interview ended early but it was general behav questions

i told her i was interested in forward-deployed and sort of explained why

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah same with coinbase except, they disconnect before joining

[stone kettle]

and she said unfortunately forward deployed is full for non us-citizens

and to apply as new grad next year lol

[native lantern]

tf lol

[stone kettle]

said she'd reach out again

[native lantern]

did she just bamboozle u

[stone kettle]

lmfao

other than it went well she was p chill

[native lantern]

who was

[jaunty basalt]

Wait fdse is only non us citizen?

[stone kettle]

the recruiter

[jaunty basalt]

Like actually

Idk much about palantir

[stone kettle]

FDS is both citizen and internationals

[jaunty basalt]

Ok yeah

[stone kettle]

this is for internship btw

[jaunty basalt]

It sounds off

[stone kettle]

not new grad

[jaunty basalt]

Oh

I mean still

[stone kettle]

basically: FDSE internship spots are full for non-citizens

[jaunty basalt]

I see

[stone kettle]

doesnt apply to ng

[glass knoll]

so does she ask you to move your preference to general swe?

[stone kettle]

i tried to transition the conversation but i was p deep into fdse...

she also said it sounds like im rly interested and for good reason in fdse

she put a note on my app and would reach out next year

so not too bad honestly /;

this is what my recruiter sent me to prepare if it helps anyone:

[glass knoll]

anyone still has not heard back after BB phone? been almost 3 weeks for me:/

[rugged spindle]

YES me too fml

[snow blade]

How long between applying and phone did it take?

[glass knoll]

mine is 1 month+

[snow blade]

Oh ok thats a little reassuring bc I applied on the 20th

havent heard

[teal jackal]

middle of nowhere pa thats a good salary

[last summit]

it’s not middle of nowhere it’s basically philly

[last summit]

they might have upped it this year, there’s a 260k offer in csmajors

[tawdry skiff]

oh nice

[floral plank]

Sig pay on levels fyi is a lot lower

Did they up their pay or something?

[last summit]

yea looks like it

[fluid quest]

no diff

[lone rapids]

Hopefully for ng they have still have swe. I got phone on wednesday

[stone kettle]

im sure they do

i wouldnt worry abt it

[uncut umbra]

for palantir?

also has anyone gone through the perpay process this sem

[grizzled bronze]

Why can't Palantir just call it "Software Consultant" instead of "Forward Deployed Software Engineer"

[uncut umbra]

because it technically isn't consulting, you do actually work with a ton of various engineering principles/fields and you're more limited on the business side of the things (iirc and all from the word of mouth of a current palantir fdse)

[rustic vessel]

Bc they want to bait

[thick shell]

Ramp New Grad is out

[uncut umbra]

link?

[jaunty basalt]

It’s been out?

Like they’re the ones with the CTF right but for new grad it’s just to submit the first step

[serene nymph]

anyone has some resources to prepare for the roblox games?

[lament summit]

play roblox

[stone kettle]

lots of ppl hate on it

but it sounds p sweet

[serene nymph]

how hard were the games?

[cerulean basin]

You can only use this command in 2022_winter_intern_process, 2022_summer_intern_process, 2022_grad_process, 2022_fall_intern_process, 2023_summer_intern_process, 2023_winter_intern_process, 2023_grad_process

[tardy geode]

already so done 😭

did anyone give ebay codesignal?

[last belfry]

It’s not this

140k tc

Levels is wrong

[jovial scarab]

hi i have my recruiter phone tomorrow do u have any tips on what to expect

[last belfry]

Lol I was negotiating with them last month

But idk I guess they low balled tf out of me

Are you sure this is swe

I know few other people that got same salary I was offered

Lol no way😂😂😂

[uncut umbra]

sig rejected me after the phone call it's insane

[last belfry]

Their whole process was dumb

But very quick

So I guess that’s a good thing

I was done with the entire process in like 2 weeks

[cobalt siren]

It’s chill some simple questions like why Veeva but very chill

[jovial scarab]

appreciate u

[split plaza]

The duality of man

[ebon quiver]

wait guys can I ask Amazon for more time and say that my college says I can

can they reject this?!

[jaunty basalt]

That shit don’t work

[ebon quiver]

rip

[jaunty basalt]

Just try

But that’s a joke

Usually it’s for the companies that come to the school career fair

When they come they have to accept these “conditions”

[teal jackal]

yeah

doesnt hurt to try

[tawdry skiff]

msft didn't care about it this year apparently

[ebon quiver]

damn breh

[tawdry skiff]

more and more companies dont care about it since their clout is big enough

[ebon quiver]

these people gave me like three days

fuckn

[magic acorn]

Were you able to open the link for the challenge?

[uncut umbra]

gm said no lmao, cmu <<< gm apparently

[tawdry skiff]

damn

did you say that CMU has the sweintern tho?

[split plaza]

Yes, worked for me

[teal jackal]

just ask aepic

[solemn tinsel]

does anyone know how to make a codesandbox link editable?

[uneven grove]

does anyone know the differences between virtual on campus interview and virtual onsite for bloomberg? I was first scheduled for an onsite, but the recruiter recently reached out and said I can do an on campus one instead which will replace my onsite. on campus is 1 interview compared to 2 interviews for onsite

like do I require more rounds of interviewing for the on campus one? since it's 1 instead of 2 interviews

[floral plank]

on campus is still 2 coding rounds

you do the first one and if you do well then you move onto the next one

[lyric cosmos]

lmao I got connected with a company from ripplematch and then couple days ago I received a rejection from recruiter

I didn't even get an interview

[floral plank]

usually those don't mean anything

[lyric cosmos]

sad

[uneven grove]

ah so instead of doing 2 in one day, you do 2 in two days?

with the possibility of not making the second one?

[floral plank]

Yep

[cerulean nebula]

did anyone receive Amazon's email about "still in consideration for new grad position"? Why don't they go about it and tell the potential timelines LMAO

[lilac siren]

it's rng

[twilit wasp]

does anyone know if it is ok to ask the interviewer how you performed in the interviewer at the end?

like for feedback

[cerulean nebula]

I do, interviewers are usually receptive about it

[twilit wasp]

hmm okay

i wanted to ask about my BB interview today, but wasnt sure if i was allowed or not

the interviewer was quite nice, but i had a couple of blank moments at the start and in the middle

was able to solve it along with the constraints he gave at the end, but idk about the blank moments :/

[west egret]

I think it’s fine as long as you communicated with them and made progress with their help.

[twilit wasp]

yeah needed some hints, but idk if my explanation is okay haha

[prime palm]

Brando baby

When did u get email to start Palantir karat

Oh idk

Damn *

[west egret]

Is karat just some specific round at palantir?

[solemn tinsel]

what the fuck

ramp frontend position is already closed

[west egret]

Ahh okay. I saw the term thrown around a bit but it was always with palantir.

[pure plank]

How is Palantir Interviews process?? Any idea? And do they give good package?

[jaunty basalt]

Robinhood also used karat

The role closed before I could do final

[floral plank]

Also hr call

[twilit wasp]

why BB over jane street tho

[jaunty basalt]

I already work here

I made the right choice

Or I made a right choice

Whichever works for you

[twilit wasp]

location?

[jaunty basalt]

Home

[fossil jewel]

used it with mongo and intuit

in the past

[late kestrel]

specifically... your home 😏

[fossil jewel]

its just a tech interview scheduled at your convenience, i had one on a saturday

[compact vortex]

https://www.wsj.com/articles/companies-plan-to-boost-college-grad-hiring-in-2023-11666753455?mod=djemCJ_h

looks like hiring might pop off next year

[iron night]

anyone know how to merge codesignal accounts or anything like that

i have a GCA due today on email X

i did a different GCA on email y

and scored well

and im tryna use that for email X as well

[last belfry]

Did anyone have their c1 powerday on October 26th and have the case get canceled and still haven’t heard back from recruiter about rescheduling that round

[ivory stratus]

bro i freaking hope so

[fleet flare]

does bb offer interviews for recent grads, or do you have to be a college senior

[compact vortex]

i also hope so man

would be a big fat W

[ivory stratus]

yeah for real

i just want something that pays at least 80k starting out at this point

[late kestrel]

pretty sure they do recent grads too. i know of at least one person who was 6 months into their first job who got a ng offer

[marble bronze]

IMO the only way that HC increases is if Q4 results this year show a sharp recovery (i.e after the April 2020 flash crash) and inflation slows to the point where the fed stops increasing interest rates.

Which...feels unlikely.

[compact vortex]

makes sense

also at the start of 2023, companies will have a better idea of their ng budgets

[marble bronze]

Hopefully it increases rather than decreases

[ivory stratus]

it's honestly just a weird time to be able to tell which way itll swing

cause it can honestly swing both ways

[marble bronze]

Otherwise it's gonna be a bloodbath of rescinded offers

[uncut umbra]

trying this now, apparently it says that the email already exists ffs

is the solution then to delete the other account

[compact vortex]

thats another thing...

what a time to be alive

[outer radish]

Wait can you use multiple emails to attach the best one?

[marble bronze]

"Our quarterly results show a strong recovery in consumer spending and a good reaction to our decreased headcount growth. As a result, we have decided to put this momentum into growing our business once again."
vs.
"We acknowledge that our quarterly results did not adjust to the decreased headcount growth. As a result, we have decided to continue to aggresively cut headcount growth further, and institute additional measures to cut costs."

Which one will it be, it's a wonderful 50/50

[teal jackal]

Hive gave me a fat tough problem

That graph problem was HARD

[faint igloo]

wait ebay is still sending out oas?

[dusky plover]

how hard was it

was just a bfs type q

[teal jackal]

I'll dm

[empty ibex]

they released new grad frontend and closed it already? bruh

[teal jackal]

Ramp is out at all?

Shit

Fuck front-end it's sucks anyways

[last summit]

ramp ctf is bullshit

i only got 1

[empty ibex]

their CTF is the same as interns

same methods too nice

[hard cobalt]

Yes. codesignal

[jaunty basalt]

Frontend had to do CTF?

Or just backend

[empty ibex]

nah just backend for ramp

I remember seeing frontend was bug fixing more or less for interns

[jaunty basalt]

Bet I took a look, pretty straightforward to get at least 2

[solemn tinsel]

I did the frontend coding assessment but couldn’t apply bc they closed lmao

[empty ibex]

when did it open? today?

[solemn tinsel]

I believe so

[glass knoll]

any tips to start the CTF with ramp? I decoded the string but no idea how to proceed:/

[jaunty basalt]

Don’t be giving it away

[split plaza]

can we not lol

[jaunty basalt]

Like it requires really basic knowledge to get 2 flags

They said if mad people get it they’re gonna sus the applications and change the entire ctf

[teal jackal]

Ramp sounds like fuck

Damn

[empty ibex]

eh I had a script to get all the flags for the interns one and the same one worked for new grad lol

[teal jackal]

They make their oa so hard

[jaunty basalt]

I mean the fact that u made a script

Like u needed it for two of them for sure from what I remember

But I feel like I need some ctf experience

To get to that point

[split plaza]

Def not lol

Oh nvm I see what you’re saying

[empty ibex]

I was not planning on applying for intern but thought it was a fun challenge lol

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah they’re the same wait actually wasn’t new grad just to submit the instructions

[split plaza]

No?

You need to submit the flags in the application

[jaunty basalt]

Right that’s intern

I saw it said that u need two

[split plaza]

yeah

[jaunty basalt]

But new grad just said paste what you saw

From the “garbage”

It’s been a while but like that’s what I remember

[split plaza]

what's ramp ng tc

levels not helpful

[low scroll]

The annual salary/OTE range for the target level for this role in NYC is $127,500-$150,000 + target equity + benefits (including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)

[split plaza]

yes

I think equity is the big differentiator here though

[dense seal]

yall i have 14 hours to prepare for bloomberg phone 1, what should i study

[split plaza]

tagged

[dense seal]

ok

[teal jackal]

Why bloomberg

[dense seal]

ok ty

[gleaming sky]

ziprecruiter reject with 845 codesignal hmm

[split plaza]

don't you know, you need to be 3x IMO gold medalist + 2400 Codeforces rating + 10x JS intern to work for Ziprecruiter

[gleaming sky]

ye my bad, it was silly of me to even apply

[royal garden]

anyone knows what is amazon ng process like? and they respond after how many days of completing oa2?

[marble bronze]

Yeah, I'm a gold medalist in my opinion, and I've interned using JavaScript 10 times

[timber rock]

got myself a triple interview sprint in 11 hours

let's get this

[robust kettle]

Anyone negotiate with JPMC? Planning to take their offer but looking for some more money, have a competing offer

[fossil jewel]

i havent tried tbh, they might ask for proof of the other offer

[robust kettle]

Their offer numbers seem to vary on levels.fyi so i assume it should be possible

only 80k base in columbus where i'm going, living there probably on the lower side of MCOL

[fossil jewel]

yeah if you got a competing offer bring it up with the recruiter 100%

[robust kettle]

like is asking for 20% more too much? competing offer is 90k for Optum but that's in a higher COL area (chicago suburb), includes a little equity also over 5 years

[deep wasp]

I have my first final interview on Wednesday. I am not the best at LC, can do most easys pretty quick but struggle with some mediums if they have anything to do with dp/graphs. Any advice on what things I should study the hardest to prepare?

[latent sun]

pog

this ramp ctf is cool

[split plaza]

it is

also is there really not a single NG Ramp offer in this server lol

[fossil jewel]

worst they can say is no

dont think they're gonna pull the offer

[dense seal]

does bloomberg phone 1 ask u to run the code?

[last belfry]

No

None ask you to run code

[knotty talon]

for me they did

for internship too lol

[fossil jewel]

they did for me

[robust kettle]

ya thanks i'm definitely gonna ask, just wondering how high is too high to ask lol

[fossil jewel]

just to confirm it worked

[west egret]

Not for me

[dense seal]

god i hope my interviewer doesnt show up

[latent sun]

Yo does anyone want to compare

CTF Flags for Ramp

LMAO

I just want to make sure

[split plaza]

I mean

I feel like you either got them or you didn’t

[latent sun]

true true

I just haven't

yknow

cracked passwords before

using certain hacker tools

[compact sundial]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-bateman-calling-gif-22091641

[cobalt siren]

@robust kettle jpmc doesn't negotiate, the only other company that pays better in columbus is Veeva to my knowledge

[latent sun]

yuhhh

[prime palm]

Cap

When did they open

[empty thorn]

does anyone know if netflix is negotiable this year

[errant gorge]

sprout social's oa made me mald so hard 😭

[split plaza]

this morning

[timber shoal]

Does anyone know if the Palantir VO re-engineering round is language specific? All the examples they've provided through the mail are all written in Java. My recruiter isn't responding when asked, unfortunately.

[split plaza]

re-engineering?

[prime palm]

re-engineering?

[timber rock]

I've heard on blind that it's java

[timber shoal]

Oof, thanks for the response

[robust kettle]

😦 that's too bad then, gonna still try. Any idea why the salaries for 0 experience vary on levels then?

[fossil jewel]

region maybe?

its weird

or it could be people inputting them wrong

[robust kettle]

bah looks like you may have been right. All the analyst ones are 80k, people just input bonuses differently, then the like 1 or 2 0 yrs YOE people are the higher level associate

[hearty walrus]

Have palantir hit capacity for new grads?

[split plaza]

There are still people in the process

That being said I think they’re getting pretty selective, decent number of people getting rejected after good HM rounds

[latent sun]

honestly

idc about ramp anymore don't know why i am still recruiting

if anyone needs hints

lmk

i gotchu

twas a fun ctf

[split plaza]

if an unusual number of people solve the CTF I’m concerned they’re just going to throw everyone’s apps away lol

[latent sun]

eh

maybe

[split plaza]

yeah so be considerate of the folks who already already solved it and still want to be considered :)

[frosty bluff]

Any hints on how to even approach this CTF lol

[sonic coral]

lol what company has a ctf for their application

thats pretty cool

[split plaza]

a chad company

So much better than yet another OA

[latent sun]

dm

[sonic coral]

is it a sec company?

[split plaza]

Nah

[cobalt siren]

Not quite sure, most likely is user error. For columbus all SEP's get 80k base + 10k signing, maybe returners get something slightly different but im pretty sure thats how it is

[split plaza]

Also calling it a CTF is kind of an exaggeration tbh, there are no traditional CTF techniques required

Kinda just a puzzle with CS themes

[sonic coral]

ah gotcha lol

[robust kettle]

Gotcha thanks, I plan to accept it regardless

do you work there? and any idea on bonus ranges?

[frosty bluff]

added you for dm!

[ebon quiver]

would yall take wepay or Amazon? team and work and location seems better at wepay. but Amazon has name. what yall day

why r you guys putting banana

🐒

[cobalt siren]

Sorry i unfortunately do not, only received an offer for them for Columbus. Will be staying in the city but working remotely tho

[split plaza]

What company is your offer for btw

[robust kettle]

no worries, thanks anyways

[jaunty basalt]

Wait today? I did it just bc several weeks ago

Did they change it and reopen?

[latent sun]

Bloomberg/Amazon/Snap

[split plaza]

Chad

[latent sun]

still deciding

[split plaza]

Probably because you actually need to submit the flags

[jaunty basalt]

Huh?

I’m saying it didn’t release for the first time today

[vital gust]

did u do it for intern app

[split plaza]

Weren’t you saying that you didn’t need to actually submit flags when you applied

[jaunty basalt]

I never applied

Also that’s not what I said

[jaunty basalt]

like first of all, i said that several weeks ago i saw intern and new grad apps. both have ctf but the instructions were different

intern required at least two flags

new grad just paste the instructions

which is odd

thats why im so confused

[split plaza]

This is no longer the case is what I’m saying lol

so yes you’re right they must have changed it and reopened

[jaunty basalt]

ok so then just say that

ive been done with apps

[split plaza]

Bruh lmao

[jaunty basalt]

i graduated lol

[split plaza]

just lost some brain cells after that convo anyway

[jaunty basalt]

i dont have any left

[deft copper]

Is Fibonacci using dp a lc easy or medium

[ivory stratus]

I mean I’d say an easy medium tops

[ivory stratus]

But I would honestly say easy

[jaunty basalt]

it is on the easy side but why does it matter

[teal jackal]

https://0ijq1i6sp1.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev

wait

what the FUCK is going on with this link

this is for ramp

[empty ibex]

🤐

[teal jackal]

ah

so i assume its a scavenger hunt

[jaunty basalt]

bruh u gotta figure it out

[teal jackal]

aite

i just needed to know that its a scavenger hunt

thats all i needed to know tbh

[foggy star]

I got Java, TS, Python

[split plaza]

AWS Lambda endpoint (not relevant for the problem)

[deft copper]

Ty

[deft copper]

Just curious lol

[timber shoal]

I got Java TS Python

[teal jackal]

i dont feel like learning CTF just for ramp

honestly company sounds toxic if this is their way of filtering applicants

[jaunty basalt]

i dont think u learn CTF

especially for this

[fossil jewel]

ctf learns you

[empty ibex]

I interviewed with them last year, the experience was pretty good tbh

[split plaza]

You don’t need to learn CTF stuff

[jaunty basalt]

CTF learns zlatan

[teal jackal]

wait

what tf do i do after the launch page

honestly this is a dead end

or am i just not creative enough

[jaunty basalt]

use what u know

[teal jackal]

know about what?

[jaunty basalt]

u said its like scavenger hunt

try to get as much information from what they give you

with what you know

i cant tell you what you know

[prime palm]

4 flags let's go!!!!

[teal jackal]

know about what?

can i at least narrow down the topic

[latent sun]

yeah

they are def gonna invalidate

all our

applications

[jaunty basalt]

wait why u applying lol

just join me

unless ur tryna up ur offer count

[prime palm]

How many boys u got

[latent sun]

4

[latent sun]

naaaah

waste of time

[empty ibex]

there should only be 4 of em

[latent sun]

np bro

whats that vin diesel quote about family

[lone rapids]

https://0ijq1i6sp1.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/start?q=select contents from readme what is this link. How do you solve this?

[jaunty basalt]

u dont turn it off?

[prime palm]

Dm nitsalee!

[latent sun]

NO

[jaunty basalt]

i turned mine off after one process, thats why i dont process anything

could just ask about offers here

[latent sun]

yeah they are off

[prime palm]

LOOOL

[latent sun]

FUCK

[prime palm]

IM CRYING LOOOOOOOL

[cobalt siren]

what are ramp flags lol

[vital gust]

@prime palm is giving them o ut

[split plaza]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

[chilly burrow]

To apply u need to solve a capture the flag competition

[empty ibex]

thank discord for message requests

[cobalt siren]

interesting technique lol

[prime palm]

Overrated ngl

[split plaza]

also the flags themselves change btw

[latent sun]

best way to get rid of the competition is by giving out the answers (also I am trolling I haven't been giving out answers neddy twin wanted to spam me)

[prime palm]

@latent sun told me

[split plaza]

they've already changed since I submitted my app

[prime palm]

Holy fuck /s it's NOT actually Wendy's

[latent sun]

they may have changed

[empty ibex]

they did change recently

[latent sun]

but the approaches are still the same

[split plaza]

ye

[jaunty basalt]

i didnt even know about this feature

dms too dry

[cobalt siren]

am i dumb as a brick

how do you solve this ctf challenge

do you have to decode whatever hash or something that's given in the link?

[prime palm]

No you're not

[jaunty basalt]

it solves u, u dont solve it

[prime palm]

It's not like it's simple

It's fucked up

[tawdry skiff]

lmao

[latent sun]

honestly

[cobalt siren]

why am I even trying I'm done with interviewing lmao

[latent sun]

f ramp

[jaunty basalt]

it gets ppl "into" CTF for the wrong reason

[tawdry skiff]

    Hello,
    We're glad you're here!

    Ramp has been fortunate to experience exponential growth over the past
    few years and with it our application volume has surged.

    In this situation, many startups opt to use off-the-shelf timed leetcode
    style SaaS tools to thin application volume.

    We thought puzzles in the spirit of a CTF[1] would be more fun and a
    better expression of our values. As we expect you to spend a little bit
    of time on this gating challenge, we thought it was appropriate that we
    put time and effort into crafting it ourselves.

    We're aware answers here might eventually be leaked and we'll probably
    have to refresh this every couple months or so, but please keep in mind
    it'll be very easy to tell once that happens and will only result in
    slowing down our ability to process applications - so please keep the
    flags to yourself.

    All flags are seven letter dictionary words.

    All flag gates are independent of each other - i.e. you don't need to
    find one flag to unlock the next one.

    Please submit at least two flags, but feel free to submit as many as you
    can find.

    Enjoy!

[jaunty basalt]

bruh

some ppl dont even make it that far

[tawdry skiff]

this is fun

[hidden fable]

No idea after getting this

[prime palm]

U alr got crazy offers

Sit this one out fella

Leave it to the offerless people (me)

[latent sun]

what u got brudda

[cobalt siren]

i went with atlassian over bb and veeva

and im dumb it's b64 lol

[latent sun]

wait fr

why

[jaunty basalt]

they dont want to move

i respect that lol

[latent sun]

why bb vs altassian

ooh

[jaunty basalt]

im already in nyc but i hate remote especially rn

[cobalt siren]

i wanna be with my gf while she finishes up school

[jaunty basalt]

so i went the other way declined atlassian

[cobalt siren]

and the pay for lcol for atlassian is incredible

i go to school in the fucking midwest lol

[jaunty basalt]

is ur start date set like everyone else in july

or u could move it

cuz i remember bring up the fact that u needed special circumstances to start later

[tawdry skiff]

yeah this CTF is fun

probably helps if you done some CTF before

[prime palm]

Where's ur Atlassian offer at?

[cobalt siren]

yeah mines set to july, i didn't ask my recruiter about delaying it but he mentioned that it's a pretty strict deadline in that p much all engineers start as a cohort

[jaunty basalt]

nice, i was told the same

[cobalt siren]

it's remote so i'm staying in the area

[jaunty basalt]

wait so did u also get a list of products

that u can work on

like very high level

[cobalt siren]

yeah in the flipping book thing

[jaunty basalt]

no JIRA right?

lemme see if i still have mine

[cobalt siren]

lemme check

[jaunty basalt]

there were a lot of flip books but i think this one was a regular pdf

yeah it was a refular pdf

[cobalt siren]

i got a flip book with the teams, don't see jira tho

[thorn walrus]

more places will open up soon right guys??

[jaunty basalt]

shiet

i guess they converted my pdf to flipbook

still very cool stuff

[cobalt siren]

yeah stuff looks great

if i wasn't dating I'd probably take bb pretty confidently

[jaunty basalt]

dayum

[prime palm]

Fucking hell mate good shit

[jaunty basalt]

dont have to put it that way

[prime palm]

R they lowering comp tho?

[jaunty basalt]

[prime palm]

Bc ur staying in LCOL?

[jaunty basalt]

atlassian does tiers

[cobalt siren]

lmaoooo that came out kinda harsh

[jaunty basalt]

so any LCOL in the same tier is the same TC

[jaunty basalt]

fr lmao

[cobalt siren]

but i don't mind at the end of the day atlassian is still an awesome place

and i get the best of both worlds in that good name + tech + wlb and get to stay with gf

[cobalt siren]

yeah im getting paid the lowest tier but it still blows anything here out the water

[jaunty basalt]

yeah that didnt fly in nyc

still dont know why its not at the top

[cobalt siren]

yeah doesn't make sense

[prime palm]

Dm comp? Just curious

[cobalt siren]

yeah one sec

[prime palm]

Love u baby

[rain patio]

Does ramp sponsor h1b

[old vector]

does bloomberg ask lc hards?

[pale kettle]

yes

[west egret]

I only got asked mediums.

[teal jackal]

should 2 flags be enough for ramp

they only say they ask for 2

[cerulean basin]

You can only use this command in 2022_winter_intern_process, 2022_summer_intern_process, 2022_grad_process, 2022_fall_intern_process, 2023_summer_intern_process, 2023_winter_intern_process, 2023_grad_process

[snow blade]

I've never done anything like it either since I mostly do frontend

You don't need to know any super advanced techniques

[left shoal]

i decoded the message but im struggling with where to start lmao

their blog seems like an obvious choice

[snow blade]

this

you don't need any other ramp site

at least for the ones I got

[left shoal]

oh wait a minute

i think i see what u maen

[last summit]

use your browser instead of postman in the beginning too

[snow blade]

I started with postman and was fine
