[lone rapids]

HM u mean?

[radiant juniper]

Didn’t do too hot on the learning round

Oh yea HM

[lone rapids]

Sammeee

[radiant juniper]

I got an answer toward the end but not enough time left to flesh it out

[wide sage]

What did they ask you in HR and VO? I just had my Karat today (passed 2/3 and almost finished 3rd, you think I'll get HR?)

[lone rapids]

I got the answer but he had too say ehat about this case and then i was like. I had the answer written. Not the most optimal but a better solution for sure

[lone rapids]

Book a redo. If cancels then yes

[prime palm]

jesus

[prime palm]

you should always book a redo

[radiant juniper]

Oof better than me, I got the hint but brain farted myself and finally understood what he meant after like many minutes of head banging

[prime palm]

because if you were meant to pass it'll go thru

@radiant juniper when did you take VO?

i took mine on november 4th

[radiant juniper]

I agree

[wide sage]

Oh okay thanks, will do

[prime palm]

and i heard back uh

november 4th

[lone rapids]

Idk i could have done so much better at learning

[prime palm]

is it what i think it is

[radiant juniper]

I had mine this morning lol

[prime palm]

how was your decomp vs learning

[radiant juniper]

Decomp way better, had a pretty fleshed out solution

Learning was crap for me

[prime palm]

i think a lot of people can relate to this

was kind of tough

[radiant juniper]

Did u make it past VO?

[lone rapids]

Decomp i asked for feedback. He gave a minor feedback. I pretty much had a great answer for it

[prime palm]

yeah

finished the interview and 2 hours later i got an email saying i'm moving forward

[lone rapids]

Damnnn

[radiant juniper]

Dang

Goat

[prime palm]

but i took it on a friday. probably wanted my feedback out before the weekend

[lone rapids]

Killed it huh

[radiant juniper]

Ahhhh

Oof goat

[prime palm]

no i think they're just stack ranking

everyone who interviews in the same week gets weighed against each other

since i took my interview end of the week on friday

[radiant juniper]

😪dang

[prime palm]

once my interview was over they probably were done stack ranking for the week

that's just my theory

[radiant juniper]

Interesting

That’s tough

[lone rapids]

Oh rip then shit. I hope they weight decomp higher than learning

[radiant juniper]

Same

[prime palm]

in my hiring manager email they told me,

[radiant juniper]

Did u already do HM round?

[prime palm]

"your HM indicated they would most likely ask another decomp question"

soooo.....

i guess if you do weak on learning, you have a second learning

if you do weak on decomp, you have a second decomp

[radiant juniper]

Interesting

[prime palm]

(?)

[prime palm]

i have it in 2 weeks

[lone rapids]

I heard some get LC?

[radiant juniper]

Noice

[prime palm]

yes

like 90% of people get leetcode

idk why im getting decomp

[radiant juniper]

Interesting

[prime palm]

i must've not done too hot?

i guess?

i dont know, im stressed

[lone rapids]

Decomp is easy imo

[prime palm]

how were you guys' karat scores?

[radiant juniper]

Yea I think decomp is easier for me

[wide sage]

Can't book it, it says recruiter has a note for you which says I'm moving to the next one. What can I expect in the HR call? Just behavioral? And do you have any tips for this? Anything is appreciated thanks!

[lone rapids]

Why palantir basically

[prime palm]

yeah they'll reject your request to do a redo since it means you passed the first time

if they allowed you to redo the karat, it means you would've been rejected

[radiant juniper]

My first karat i sucked couldn’t get past the second question, the redo I made it to the 3rd. I did both back to back days

[radiant juniper]

Just behavioral, know some stuff abt the company and be prepared to explain why you want to work there

[wide sage]

Thanks fam! helps a lot

[lone rapids]

@prime palm how was your learning?

[prime palm]

i think it was an ace for me

[primal pike]

how to prove ill be taking classes after internship if classes ain't even offered that far out

[prime palm]

my interviewer and i vibed together a lot

[lone rapids]

Nice. I dont think we did lol

[prime palm]

tbh

someone told me before i took my vo

the behavioural matters more than you think

and looking back, i agree

if your interviewer likes you a lot prob gives you better feedback

over someone who does really well but they didnt like you as much / communication was poor

idk

interviewing is stressful gg

[lone rapids]

My communication was on point but i dont know what it means that we are vibing

[prime palm]

ya we'll just wait an see

[lone rapids]

Ya f it. It is what it is

[prime palm]

[fallen fox]

all these layoffs

more ex-faang employees competing with new grads now rip

[lament summit]

but yall shouldd beat them

since we've been prepping this entire time

[thick shell]

Anyone know how long it takes to hear back after the Ebay onsite?

[coarse kraken]

A week ago!

[sweet urchin]

anyone got insight into how long IMC takes to get back after OA?

[slate bobcat]

[minor drum]

hackerrank oa? It took me 2 days for them to invite me to behavioral one way

back in september

[deft copper]

Man so I thought my 30 minute interview today wasn't going to be leetcode so I did 4 problems beforehand, only to get an easy and med+ in the interview 😔, was so tired I couldn't think

[hidden fable]

Company?

[deft copper]

Random local non tech company lmao

[storm thunder]

how would you guys rank deutsche bank technology analyst position, lucid software swe and ixl learning swe in terms of their company, job security and career growth

[deep wasp]

Okay so I did a final for a company last week, they said they’d be getting back to me within 2 weeks. I just got an email from them with a survey regarding the interview process and how it went. What should I make of this. Is this automated, or would I have received an offer by now or am I being paranoid

Also - the link to the survey is broken. Lol

[marsh sand]

I’d tell them the link to survey is broken and also ask about your application status

[deep wasp]

Nvm they sent offer letter right after :)))))

[simple maple]

Did anyone have a 30min zoom interview with C3.AI?

[spice rock]

has anyone used skipbigtech?

[split plaza]

damn Affirm actually opened NG

they're down like 90% ytd

[static moth]

ya im so surprised

they were picky af with who gets a return offer too

[chilly burrow]

https://www.cscareers.dev/job-postings/96f9d18d-36bb-4dd5-84ae-8882ec8ac705

[vital meteor]

ty friend

[eternal mortar]

writing an email letting one of the companies I got an offer from that I won't be joining them... all of a sudden I'm getting paranoid my other offer is gonna get rescinded (cuz of recession)

the safest move would be to hold two offers and reneg later but that feels wrong

[whole berry]

why does it feel wrong

youre doing what any sane person would do

[eternal mortar]

someone else might want that offer

[whole berry]

yeah but you come first

[iron lily]

they'd do it to you in an instant

[eternal mortar]

[whole berry]

if you wanna do right, after you start at the company you took the offer at, refer people there and if anything, the one you renegged you can send em resumes of people who you think deserve it

[green bronze]

Bro got 0 offers and he giving advice that’s not conducive to him getting an offer

I fuck with it

[whole berry]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-so-gif-18681605

[green bronze]

Your time will come

[whole berry]

yessirrrrr, until then i must help my fellow .devs the best way i can

[cobalt siren]

if it's for veeva i think you'll be fine, healthcare industry is pretty recession proof to my understanding

[eternal mortar]

yea I was kinda thinking that

like if it was something like Snap / Meta / Coinbase I would not hesitate

[cobalt siren]

also pretty sure veeva didn't aggressively hire/overhire like meta did during pandemic

[sweet urchin]

yeah, thanks for the info! would it be possible to enlighten me about your one-way interview? I have no idea what that even means lol

[minor drum]

For IMC, the one way is a mix of technical and behavioral. Some questions are like normal behavioral stuff, some of the others were explaining different programming concepts.

I think it was around ~1-2 minutes to read the question and prepare, then 1 try to record yourself answering the questions

in 1 minute

or so

[sweet urchin]

ah ok that kinda thing, thanks!

[minor drum]

yeah, np

[rain patio]

💀

Thats foulllll

[deep wasp]

I am currently in shock. I am a Senior currently working 3 jobs to pay all the bills, and I felt so behind when it came to leetcoding and applying for new grad jobs. I got one final and I thought it went decently well, and I just got my first (and only) offer, and it’s literally going to change my life.

[foggy perch]

money > morals

just renege later

you're burning the bridge either way

[nocturne seal]

I failed walmart OA

[nocturne seal]

congratulations!!!!!

[deep wasp]

Thank you sir

[idle stump]

Did anyone have on campus Bloomberg interview?

[lethal latch]

Does anyone know the decode stuff when applying for Ramp?

[minor drum]

they opened new grad again?

[outer radish]

AFFIRM IS ABOUT TO SINGLE HANDEDLY FEED HUNGRY NEW GRADS ACCROSS AMERICA

[lethal latch]

When did they closed? The position shows open on their website.

[slender apex]

nah ur capping fam its closed

[proper dawn]

im like 99% sure my offer will be rescinded in the couple moneths

who the fuck is hiring rn?

i need a backup asap

[uncut umbra]

damn which offer what

[proper dawn]

shitty ecommerce company that sells shitty furniture

[rustic vessel]

Wayfair? Lol

[proper dawn]

ye

[rustic vessel]

Goddamn roblox stock took a dump today

[proper dawn]

[teal jackal]

LOL MY COLLEGE FEEDS WAYFAIR WITH SOFTWARE DEV INTERNS

shitty furniture

[proper dawn]

NEU?

[prime palm]

who?

oh

shit

[proper dawn]

too many NEU ppl there its just weird

half a company's tech talent should not be from the same college

[quick wraith]

Which Uni?

They still hiring interns ?

[proper dawn]

they're still hiring interns

[teal jackal]

yes

im from northeastern

[proper dawn]

like the idiots they are

[teal jackal]

i have never worked at wayfair though

[proper dawn]

and they'e paying more than they paid us last summer @quick wraith

[teal jackal]

did u get a full time return offer

or return intern

at wayfair

[proper dawn]

return full time

[teal jackal]

not bad tbh

do they not hire new grads? i havent seen anything come up

so i assume not

[proper dawn]

they are not hiring new grads

[teal jackal]

figured

[proper dawn]

some interns got return offers

I was one of them

[proper dawn]

though I almost wish they hadnt so I would have applied harder and planned for this eventuality

[teal jackal]

planned for what

[proper dawn]

not having a job

lol

[cedar wigeon]

Hey did u get the offer?
How much time did they took to give the decision
I've already given 2 rounds of technical interview, waiting for my resuly

[proper dawn]

and having to leave the country

[teal jackal]

damn

good luck man

[proper dawn]

i grad in less than 2 months

[teal jackal]

the international struggle is realer than ever this year

[proper dawn]

dont even get me started

covid, recession, now this

[left ginkgo]

How hard are Walmart Entry position interviews?

[quick wraith]

Brain dead company out to rescind my offer

[dense blaze]

F

[quick wraith]

By making brain dead financial decisions

[teal jackal]

did wayfair actually rescind yet, or are u just scared they will soon

[proper dawn]

niraj shah out here being a twat

[quick wraith]

Matter of time

[proper dawn]

their stock was 298 last nov

it is 29.8 rn

everyone ik there is saying there will be layoffs soon

[dense blaze]

F

[teal jackal]

wayfair overvalued from the start

man the tech bubble was crazy

[proper dawn]

for sure lol

and they were wildly inflated during covid

[teal jackal]

honestly in retrospect, i knew that tech is a bubble, but i didnt think far ahead enough to realize that i needed to prepare for when the bubble ends

[quick wraith]

Soon I will be making minimum wage as a SWE programmer

The golden age is over

[teal jackal]

even if i make a pretty mediocre salary of like 95k as a new grad, it beats unemployment if the tech stack is at least decent

ive shifted the goalpost man

i just care about getting a job within a good tech stack with good growth potential

[proper dawn]

no more 200k or bust??

[teal jackal]

yeah its over man

[quick wraith]

Will work for bread and 150k

[proper dawn]

bb ghosting ppl after they crush interviews

I have bb scheduled but dunno if anything will happen there

[quick wraith]

Tough

[proper dawn]

and its been 4 days since my palantir karat

HAHHAHAHAH

[quick wraith]

Pain

[teal jackal]

dude ive been ghosted after phone for 2 weeks and my recruiting contact is afk

EVERYONE wants to work at bloomberg now

[proper dawn]

naturaly

they the only ppl hiring

and palantir ig

[teal jackal]

palantir weedout rate is high though

especially at the final

[proper dawn]

for sure

no hope there

they aint handing out 200k to everyone and their mama

[prime palm]

you do palantir hm?

[teal jackal]

palantir has to interview a lot since they weed out a TON of applicants at some point in the process, and bloomberg is just filled to the brim

[teal jackal]

nah i got rejected before that

[prime palm]

ic

[quick wraith]

We have to come to terms that we are peasants now

[teal jackal]

honestly im not gonna make the 150k tc right out of college dream and thats ok, even if its really tough to swallow

[quick wraith]

150k in this economy is a rescind waiting to happen

[teal jackal]

tbh kaizoku a LOT of it comes down to luck nowadays

[proper dawn]

haha i signed an offer with a little more than that and actually believed I would see that money

[teal jackal]

it seems that everyones interview rate rn is in the shitter

[proper dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-rogers-nightmare-clown-gif-5401671

[quick wraith]

You mean wayfair right?

[teal jackal]

i hope they dont rescind man

good luck man

[proper dawn]

no bro i mean ur daddy company

[quick wraith]

A Rescind will make me stronger. I will leetcode even harder

[honest sundial]

c1 is 150k and relatively stable

[teal jackal]

hi jiango

[proper dawn]

idk why im graduating now

maybe i shoudl delay by a semester

[teal jackal]

100%\

[proper dawn]

but I have no idea what I would do

[quick wraith]

c1 doesn’t hire third worlders unfortunately

[teal jackal]

does c1 not sponsor?

interesting

[proper dawn]

yeah thats exactly what I was thinking

[teal jackal]

no i mean TSS needs time to keep applying

[proper dawn]

shit aint gonna get better in a couple months

[teal jackal]

sponsorship tho

and visa problems

[proper dawn]

i have 60 days

[teal jackal]

i think its absurd for someone who can stay in the US permanently to go to grad school or delay grad just to avoid graduating unemployed

but i think tss should buy time

[proper dawn]

I already applied for OPT

so

im fucked

lmao

i have the EAD rn

clocl starts ticking feb 6

[fallen fox]

im graduating in december as well

i have 0 offers

[proper dawn]

I have to declare a start date

[teal jackal]

40 apps are rookie numbers man

[fallen fox]

should i bother applying?

no one seems to be hiring rn

[teal jackal]

applying to what

[fallen fox]

new grad roles

[teal jackal]

true

[quick wraith]

McDonald’s is hiring

[teal jackal]

growth is hella slow rn

[proper dawn]

they will rescind you 10 days before ur start date

[teal jackal]

a lot of companies cut jobs, no growth anywhere to be seen

[proper dawn]

to maximise damage

[fallen fox]

graduate and sleep for a few months 💀

[quick wraith]

The signing bonus will give me a free ticket back home

[fallen fox]

shouldve graduated in 2021

fml

[teal jackal]

honestly class of 2023 is going to be the most hardened class, for those who make it to the end and get a job

If we make it, that means we survived graduating into a collapsing market for tech jobs

We're going to be really hardened tbh

and I think it'll show when it comes time for us to job hop

class of 2023 solidarity my homies

wait u already have an offer?

or already graduated?

[quick wraith]

Let’s fucking go my brothers

[teal jackal]

ah

makes sense

i didnt know that

damn son

o7

hope u keep ur job

[proper dawn]

im going to email them ask for the singinf bonus

atleast i will have got something out of them

[teal jackal]

o7

good luck mate

[uncut umbra]

I remember that class of 2019 going into college had severely low acceptance rates relative to previous years despite basically equivalent skill levels

then covid ruining our freshman year

[teal jackal]

really?

[uncut umbra]

then an inflated job market while we're just waiting to get jobs

[teal jackal]

i thought college only got more competitive

after us

[uncut umbra]

and then a recession hitting right as we graduate from college

[proper dawn]

no but i believe I will

soon

[uncut umbra]

yeah but the delta and gigantic decrease was unexpected

[teal jackal]

on the bright side, at least we got easy abundance of internships

return offer or not at least we built xp

[uncut umbra]

avg. ivy league acceptance went from like 8% to 6% or smth our year

[teal jackal]

🙃

[uncut umbra]

my school usually gets double digit kids accepted to pton and about 5 go, my year only 5 got accepted total

numbers were strongly down the board for the "top" schools and we sent the most kids to rutgers I think we ever had

[teal jackal]

i kinda coasted through college apps, but i know c/o2019 was SUPER clogged and competitive

I think for those of us strong enough and lucky enough to make it out of this crisis, we'll come out on top relative to others

[proper dawn]

and what abt the others

lol

[uncut umbra]

I mean this is a true trial by fire scenario lol

[teal jackal]

Long run I think we'll be stronger than them tbh

[uncut umbra]

so yeah if we can make it through we'll be goated

but it's an unfairly hard road relative to others

[teal jackal]

We'll understand the importance of keeping your head above the water

relative to your competition

[uncut umbra]

you're right

but it's just so hard some days

[teal jackal]

Don't get me wrong I'm coping hella hard rn

But I genuinely believe what I say

[uncut umbra]

when there's shit beating down on you from all directions and you have to worry about like 6 things at once

if we group all classes together lol

[proper dawn]

im like sick of everything

at this point

[teal jackal]

im for sure coping but I also think that those within class of 2023 who make it to the finish line, will just have more fortitude

[proper dawn]

and the worst part of it all is

[teal jackal]

we'll be stronger with handling these kinds of challenges

[proper dawn]

I dont even like CS

[uncut umbra]

mood

[proper dawn]

ive always been in it for the money and now im getting clowned

[uncut umbra]

I like cs

[proper dawn]

i like theoretical cs

[uncut umbra]

but I would not have focused on it this hard if I wasn't where I am

[proper dawn]

the mathy aspect of it

i dont hate it

[teal jackal]

valid

[proper dawn]

but i dont like it either

[uncut umbra]

the bag was def a significant part of why I'm here

[proper dawn]

its like something I do so i have a job

which i probably wont 😂

ik dumb af kids who got into amazon 2021 with an OA and one interview going over questions in the OA

life is a joke

[teal jackal]

amazon overhired when the economy was good

bull run for tech was 2021

man

[proper dawn]

i could go to grad school

but

my mental health will take diveeeeee

[teal jackal]

if you just need to buy time id consider it

[proper dawn]

the deadline passed for my school

the earliest ill be able to come back

is next fall

[sudden depot]

does anybody know what the starbucks onsite interviews are like?

[proper dawn]

wish i could re do everything 11th grade onwards

there is so much I would do different

[teal jackal]

I think I'd redo freshman year

[proper dawn]

same

[teal jackal]

the harder I look back the more I realize just how clueless I was in life until around early this year or so

I'm just glad I got my shit together fast enough to do an amazon internship this summer

[fallen fox]

with all these layoffs and the economy, how do you even get a job as a mediocre candidate?

[proper dawn]

you don't

[fallen fox]

like every place probably has 50+ faang applicants

[teal jackal]

i honestly really have to thank some of my college friends for being grindy

they peer pressured me to take the job search more seriously

before the job market turned sour

[proper dawn]

same thing happened to me soph year

[teal jackal]

would not have tried very hard for an internship without them tbh

[proper dawn]

should have just internship hunted and done a bunch of internships after graduating

then done a masters

would have bought me enough time

[teal jackal]

Honestly it's said that it's okay to make mistakes, but sometimes after the mistake it's too late for a recovery

[proper dawn]

its like 6 months too late in my case

but all this is in hindsight

I had no way of knowing then

[teal jackal]

I think if a lot of us were offered a genie to go back to the past and redo college, we would do it

[proper dawn]

just sucks to see how many years of effort it took to get here

and right when i thought all that effort was going to bear fruit

[teal jackal]

they say life isn't a race and you should go at your own pace, but in practice the world moves on really quickly and the world moves on without you

im paranoid that itll all be an uphill battle from here since I was pretty unlucky with resume screenings this year

[proper dawn]

ur amzon is this summer?

[teal jackal]

yeah

[proper dawn]

or last summer

oh ir chill then

junior?

[teal jackal]

no return tho

yeah i was a rising senior at amazon

[proper dawn]

ohhh

no return?

fuck

[rapid lotus]

Yo you do the 445

[proper dawn]

No I’ve been too stressed abt getting kicked out of the country 😂

Hahahah

[uneven grove]

got palantir hm but after seeing all the rejects after this stage makes me so hopeless 💀

[teal jackal]

o7 chief

Good luck

[proper dawn]

Just try your best

[uneven grove]

palantir recruiter mentioned there's a technical component "determined day-of by the Hiring Manager"

[teal jackal]

Palantir is that one company where there is NO such thing as assuming you've got the offer ez

[uneven grove]

guess I still have to study rip

[prime palm]

yo mr crab

Can I dm u sir

[fallen fox]

isn't that the same with other companies as well, especially smaller ones?

[lone rapids]

When did u take ur VO

[fallen fox]

like you could ace the final interview and still get rejected cuz they found a better candidate

[uneven grove]

you may dm the crab

[uneven grove]

11/4 and heard back 11/9 night

[lone rapids]

Interesting so rng. How do u think u did in Vo?

[uneven grove]

like on my end, I thought it went alright for the technical parts

but I think I asked good questions because my interviews said "oh good question" lol

so that probably showed good interest in the company?

yeah decomp and learning

[maiden vapor]

do you know which location ur interviewing for?

[uneven grove]

lol nope

originally nyc but recruiter said they're full

so I switched locations but don't know which one

[maiden vapor]

did you ask ur recruiter if nyc was full or did she just let you know?

[uneven grove]

CK

[uneven grove]

before my onsite I already saw some folks in the discord saying nyc was full, so after my onsite, I emailed my recruiter saying that I'm open to other locations with nyc being top pick

[maiden vapor]

ah I see

[uneven grove]

so in an email she said "our nyc headcount is full" or something

[maiden vapor]

yeah I applied for NYC but i've also seen people say its full but my recruiter hasn't told me anything

[uneven grove]

could be a different org? I also don't know which product I've been matched to haha

got a white paper for production infra, and someone mentioned that that's most likely apollo I think?

[uneven grove]

oh ig I should also mentioned I had another offer deadline 11/15

so maybe my recruiter worked a little quicker for that

[lone rapids]

When is ur hm?

[uneven grove]

scheduling coordinator hasn't reached out yet

[maiden vapor]

Which white paper did you get?

[lone rapids]

@uneven grove would you say your learning in VO was good?

[uneven grove]

can I dm you about that

[lone rapids]

Yes please

[prime palm]

Alright so

I started the process in October

And I was matched to foundry, NYC

I sent an email to my recruiter two days ago confirming my allocation

He said foundry nyc still has HC

But not Gotham

BUT!

[lone rapids]

My recruiter asked where u want

[uneven grove]

hmmm do you know if it's possible to switch between gotham and foundry?

[lone rapids]

But said nyc is full

[uneven grove]

ig it might be too late for me rn lol

[prime palm]

This could mean all foundry nyc allocation is kind of filled up between actual offers and currently people in the pipeline

Ur recruiter phone call after the karat

@paper valve @uneven grove

Where r both of u rn?

Any of u guys on HM?

Ah ic

@uneven grove DMd

Prob for Foundry or Apollo obly

[maiden vapor]

does anybody know if your HM is from the product ur going to be working on

[prime palm]

Yes it will be

[glass egret]

intern offer for me. but i do know people who got offer for fulltime.

[ivory stratus]

Anybody know what the severance package is for meta? Curious to see what something like that looks like

[maiden vapor]

Is there any Apollo in NYC or is that specifically non-NYC?

[nocturne seal]

Has anyone done eBay VO recently

[viscid dust]

Hi, did anyone give Walmart phone recently?

[celest depot]

package

[dusty mauve]

apollo is specifically palo alto

[lilac narwhal]

Does ur palantir white paper mean the team your matching with?

[oak rose]

what would yall choose between doordash and anduril

seems like anduril is a safer bet rn cuz defense and maybe faster growth/ownership/huge upside in stock if they go public?

doordash seems more structured (which i see as a plus), seems to be doing aight rn, decent and specific promo path, challenging work and product focus

[glass egret]

anyone interviewing with zoom(ng or intern)? what's the status? ive never seen anyone gotten VO.

[marsh sand]

So uh

Is 848 enough for HRT

[drowsy oracle]

How does one go about farming codesignal links?

just reapply with same email?

[teal jackal]

idk how palantir works tbh, but i think some companies hire first, place candidates on teams later. I like those the most since there's no feeling like you have to compete and be better than everyone else to survive

[knotty talon]

Lmao

[valid wing]

up until radix is better than 849

[last summit]

I got rj with 847 lol

you’ll get to resume screen fs tho

[livid yew]

Jay Powell probably runs the federal reserve for delfino plaza too

[uneven grove]

Rip my palantir recruiter said I’m interviewing for DC

Should I try to switch before my HM round?

Or first worry about getting an offer

It sounds like HMs are location/org specific

[lilac locust]

what’s wrong with dc

[proper dawn]

Well shit guess I’m getting rejected the

[uneven grove]

Just don’t know anyone there

Have friends in Palo Alto and ny

[lilac locust]

Where you from my guy

oh

[uneven grove]

Cali and NY I’d say

[lilac locust]

yeah I feel like PLTR the only spot available rn is DC

[uneven grove]

Oh really?

[lilac locust]

yeah

i applied way back in august

for Denver

i got rejected as expected

But I think some people here said HC for Denver is full

[cosmic karma]

anyone got offer from roblox recently?

[oak rose]

What would yall take between doordash and bloomberg

same comp more or less

[oak patrol]

DD, bcuz of fast promos

[dawn lynx]

BlackRock OA easy?

[uncut umbra]

I'm very concerned about security, so I'd go bb, but I understand dd

[timber rock]

yeah

[timber rock]

^

[old oar]

[dawn lynx]

For US or Europe?

[timber rock]

london

[lone rapids]

Is palantir em vs hm different?

[idle stump]

I was an amazon intern this summer but did not get return offer. What is the cool off time ?

[lone rapids]

6 months

[dusty mauve]

does palantir survey mean reject 😬

[idle plover]

I have a Hiring manager round at Veeva tomorrow.
Anyone know what to expect for it?

[lament summit]

bb would be safer but, dd talent and engineering is much better

perks at dd def better

[foggy perch]

wlb probably also way worse at dd though

so trading extra hours of work for perks probs

[lament summit]

free food > no free food

[uncut umbra]

6 months

[cobalt siren]

Very chill, as long as you have the why Veeva down you’re good

If you’re not a blockhead you’ll get an offer

[autumn ridge]

I would take DD just bc of better tech and exp vs BB. Like the other poster said though I would take BB if you care a lot about WLB.

[idle plover]

Thank you!

[valid wing]

Job > fired from job

[dusty mauve]

@autumn ridge did u get rejected after u got candidate feedback survey for palantir?

[autumn ridge]

Yep same day lol. Everyone who got feedback survey got rejected same day or next day that I've seen

[dusty mauve]

oh damn

guess i got rejected then

we’re u at virtual on-site?

or hm when u got it

[autumn ridge]

Mine was after HM round

[dusty mauve]

i see

o well onto the next

my learning was probably what was hindering me

[autumn ridge]

I mean it's only a sample size of like 5 so idk if it's 100% but yeah. Also palantir seems extremely picky so don't get too down the odds are like 1/15 or something after HM in this discord

[dusty mauve]

yea but i got the survey after vo

[prime palm]

Bruhhhhh

1/15

I have to be the ONE 😭😭😭

[autumn ridge]

press X for doubt

[split plaza]

When is/was your HM

[prime palm]

Next week

[unique ice]

yo how do finger print scan work. Does the company email u the location or what

[lament summit]

DD owns >60% of the food delivery market

well 59%

[valid wing]

meal delivery

is inhearently not profitable I heard?

[lament summit]

is it not?

[valid wing]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlZ51zeabhM

good video might be a bit outdated though

[lament summit]

yep i got survey then rj

[dusty mauve]

aite

o whale

[uneven grove]

Just to make sure - the HM round for palantir is org specific ?

Meaning I would be joining HM’s org if I pass

[lament summit]

nah

idts

[uneven grove]

Oh idk why I thought that turn

Then

[autumn ridge]

I wasn't told that explicitly by the recruiter but my HM interviewer was for the org I would join and the behavorial portion was a lot of questions specific to that org

This was for apollo

[uneven grove]

Ahh ok thanks! They gave me DC so I just asked if it would be possible to interview for another location(s)

[old smelt]

Nope that's why they are working on delivery robots

[autumn ridge]

My recruiter asked specifically in my HR call if I was interested in positions that required a security clearance and said those were mostly in DC so I would assume that's gotham but idk

Also just an assumption but the Apollo team is most likely way smaller than Gotham so HM process might be slightly different

[uneven grove]

Gotcha

I believe I was matched to Apollo

I just really don’t want to move to a location where I don’t know anyone lol

Never got asked about security clearance

[dusty mauve]

@autumn ridge are you accepting flexport?

[lilac locust]

i might renage gm

geico offer too op

38% base salary increase

[azure zephyr]

wheres geico

[lilac locust]

both remote lol

[grizzled bronze]

What's Geico salary?

[lilac locust]

120 base

geico tbh i can go into office 5 days a week

i will die but im willing to 5 day it

[grizzled bronze]

Nice, no remote though right?

[lilac locust]

remote lol

[grizzled bronze]

Dang, I ignored Geico because I thought it required relocating to Maryland

[lilac locust]

remote

[grizzled bronze]

And that their pay would be low

[lilac locust]

me too

[grizzled bronze]

If only I spent 15 minutes to do my research 🤦‍♂️

[lilac locust]

next thing you know

120k base remote

[azure zephyr]

wow i never thought geico would pay that much 💀 how was the interview

[lilac locust]

ez pz

[azure zephyr]

might have to hit them up hahaha

any lc at all?

[lilac locust]

technical oa was reverse a list

no lol

[azure zephyr]

wow LMAO

[lilac locust]

technical was a joke

[azure zephyr]

it was just the oa?

[lilac locust]

take the avg in a list w/o using avg function

sort a function

and then is palindrome

lc easy

[grizzled bronze]

What graduation date do they require? And this is for their 2 year program right?

[lilac locust]

yes and idk

yes remote

[grizzled bronze]

The highest is 119.5K, did you negotiate?

[grizzled bronze]

What start date did they offer?

[lilac locust]

they dumped 120 on me

[lilac locust]

they gave me a date of 01/23/23

[grizzled bronze]

If I get Geico I'm done, unless I hear back from Capital One

[lilac locust]

C1

[grizzled bronze]

What was Geico's process?

[lilac locust]

questionnaire -> OA -> behavioral OA -> power day

[knotty talon]

Sort a function?

[grizzled bronze]

Thanks!

[lilac locust]

a list

using a func mb

[gleaming fable]

Lets gooo 120k remote gang

[lilac locust]

AYO you too

[knotty talon]

Im curious about this: so without using avg function means that for lets say python you could just do sum(L)/len(L) or like did they want you to iterate throughnit

[lilac locust]

all I did was

[gleaming fable]

yeah I'm not at geico but same situation

[lilac locust]

for x in LST:
sum +=x

return sum / len(LST)

[knotty talon]

O lol i was about to say damn thats not that easy if they want merge sort or something

[lilac locust]

i used selection sort

easiest one I remember

[lilac locust]

Okta probably didn’t look at a bunch of resumes and auto rejected them… I applied late af and got rejected today

[old smelt]

easy money on $META this week

[lilac locust]

Remember when they said there’s no way they can look at them all

[prime palm]

lol huh

[lilac locust]

They recorded that live lol

[old smelt]

look at the stock price

[elder hound]

Yeah but it’s kind of a strange strategy… companies like Netflix prob don’t go through them all either but they wait for all spots to be filled before rejecting

[lilac locust]

Yeah

[prime palm]

yooooo wtf

• 20 bucks

how tf does a company stock go up when you have to cut 11k people

wtf

[azure zephyr]

[prime palm]

[lilac locust]

at least they emailed me saying there isnt

[azure zephyr]

my bb recruiter literally never responded when i told her back in oct that i have offer deadlines, interviewer no showed, i dont rly want to move to nyc anyways

[azure zephyr]

withdrew

[lilac locust]

[uncut umbra]

I haven't heard of them asking dp but I think like 1d dp is viable

[lilac locust]

@azure zephyr youre going to expedia right

[uncut umbra]

they can go off the beaten path for sure

[prime palm]

poggers move ngl

[gleaming fable]

Startup that just went series B

in grocery tech

[prime palm]

it's my goal to make it thru university + 4 years of intern recruiting + new grad recruiting without learning dp

[lilac locust]

[prime palm]

i still don't know dp kekw

[forest aspen]

correct me if im wrong but if you get a 2d dp problem just settle for the memoization approach - i imagine that theyd be happy with that esp if you explained how you wwould do the other ways if you had more time

[gleaming fable]

so we're going to actually benefit from a recession

[prime palm]

anyone that knows DP is a wizard

[uncut umbra]

I definitely haven't learned it despite many courses forcing me to try

I know the idea

could not code it to save my life

[prime palm]

i had dp in my databricks intern phone last yr

big flop

did i take the opportunity to learn dp? no

[forest aspen]

memoize and giveu p

dynamic programming is just programming while not being static

this sentence shot me between the eyes

literally bouncing my leg as we type

[lilac locust]

@uncut umbra whats your second offer

[uncut umbra]

EY

consulting

[lilac locust]

ey vs gm

[late kestrel]

eyyyyyyy

[dense seal]

whats your first offer @uncut umbra

[lilac locust]

which one wouldwin

[uncut umbra]

gm

[uncut umbra]

idk I'm probably accepting both and then making a final decision on renege in spring

[lilac locust]

lol

should i accept both then work for 6 months at both companies

[uncut umbra]

EY is consulting, but it has better location, comp and they're nicer if I terminate my employment earlier than a year

[lilac locust]

quit the one i don like

[uncut umbra]

which is what I'm hoping for

since I'm trying to jump ship

[lilac locust]

EY is NY?

[uncut umbra]

I think so yeah

[lilac locust]

[forest aspen]

is it a bad idea to accept two part time offers for work in the spring without notifying the other comapny that im doing so ?

and would that look sus on a resume

[lilac locust]

what about 2 full time

[uncut umbra]

copium

[forest aspen]

2 full time + full time school + other part time job

[lilac locust]

2 full time + full time school + other part time job uber

[grizzled bronze]

Yeah you could only put one on the resume without it looking sus

[forest aspen]

uber

[grizzled bronze]

But if you need the money then go for it

[forest aspen]

nah i dont need money id be doing it for experience only

[lilac locust]

uber software engineer + uber driver

[forest aspen]

what a good idea, ill email demandign a position as both

being assertive is a leadership principle so itl be ok

[lilac locust]

[sage sluice]

i just finished bbg VO with a similar experience

[tardy geode]

yo how was it?

[sage sluice]

my interviewer took like 10 minutes figuring out the audio and webcam, then he took a phone call for 10 mins, then he asked me a bunch of behavioral stuff for some reason, then my power went out (florida hurricane), came back, he asked me one system design type question

we finished pretty late

and he passed me on the spot

scheduled next interview for tmr

[tardy geode]

sick

[sage sluice]

weirdest interview experience ever

[outer radish]

Grokking?

But is behav necessary to practice

[sage sluice]

literally during the interview he scheduled the next one

[dusty mauve]

[tardy geode]

i prepared like hell for my internship interview that asked sys design . i used grokking and sys design primer and watched all case studies like designing twitter , uber etc

[outer radish]

FORWARD lol

I just love healthcare

[echo stratus]

hey everyone, yesterday I had my meta offer rescinded

[outer radish]

Kk sounds good

[outer radish]

Ah gotcha

[echo stratus]

I'm joining everyone here to apply & interview

[west egret]

Communication skills

[outer radish]

Bookmarked dw

[outer radish]

My rubber ducky has been super clutch for that

[echo stratus]

How competitive is the current new grad job market?

I dont see many positions 😦

oh god

meta did me real dirty rescinding me in a time like this

[west egret]

Lots of big tech companies aren’t hiring which means you have less companies but more qualified free agents

[teal jackal]

im sorry to hear man

welcome to the shitshow

[outer radish]

bro if u got meta then ur more than qualified to be swimming in the ocean

[echo stratus]

aha thanks were in it together now

[outer radish]

just gotta practice some laps

[teal jackal]

next problem: getting the opportunity for laps

[outer radish]

[echo stratus]

thanks but the issue is getting interviews in the first place lol

[tardy geode]

@queen valve that blog is really helpful , no cap. tysm

[teal jackal]

i hate to make u sad but ex metamates arent able to ride off meta prestige for swimming in interviews anymore

same with ex zonians

[sage sluice]

theres an ex meta channel here

[outer radish]

cap if i didnt have zon on my resume im betting that i woulda got way less OAs and no OA interviews then I with

[tardy geode]

only bezos knows

[west egret]

Gap emailed me today saying that I wasn’t selected because I didn’t do their OA.

They never sent me an OA.

[tardy geode]

[teal jackal]

its not cap. Having zon/meta beats not having it, but the reality is that even with that on resume, it's very tough now.

[gentle spruce]

Anyone finished Expedia vo last week but haven’t heard back from them?

[teal jackal]

we'd have even fewer OAs and interviews without zon/meta

[outer radish]

yeah thats my point though

[teal jackal]

ah, thats fair. my point is that even with zon/meta getting interviews isnt a given anymore

[karmic ember]

anyone know about the company Lumen

[lethal turret]

can you share the link to this post

[wild igloo]

welp that didn't work

[karmic ember]

also do you know about the company A-LIGN?

[teal jackal]

even if u can they can still reject

if they arent happy enough with it

[karmic ember]

i had a final interview with A-LIGN but its been a month and they still havent updated me. they keep saying they want to interview all applicants but they have 200+

[lament summit]

aoy

[dusty mauve]

there are interviewers who decide to reject u based off of just one way you might've phrased something at the start of an interview

[karmic ember]

idk about this economy cause last year i had 3 offers

this year i have 0 offers

[prime palm]

i bet you play genshin impact

[dusty mauve]

lol @karmic ember nice pfp

[prime palm]

how much $ you drop

[karmic ember]

i had an interviewer who questioned whether i was qualified for the position because i didnt have html on my resume.. keep in mind i have nodejs, vuejs, python, js, on my resume
