People discount private RSUs for top tier unicorns way too much lol

how many rounds does bloomberg have?

sonic coral
#

Like for companies like stripe and airtable your stock is absolutely not paper

#

If a company is worth 10B+ then there’s def a market for the shares, private or not

chilly burrow

#

I’m not sure if airtable is worth 10b+ tho 🤨

#

Maybe they will get acquired like figma

but if you're already making 200k+ then I can see why you're not enamored lol

I started at mine about 5 months ago not even knowing the lang (mobile/iOS dev) and I've already got a good grasp of it at an intermediate level and am being tasked with learning API dev in TS rn

sonic coral
#

They raised a LOT of funding rounds

#

Most recent was last July 2022

#

And they had a series F in 2021

#

I don’t think you get to series F being worth 10B+ without being stable

#

Lowkey airtable is basically a small private tech co at this point

#

Same with stripe

gleaming fable
#

yeah and I don't think they're bloated enough that you have to really worry about layoffs

#

startups tend to be lean enough that they're fine through downturns so long as their product area is solid

#

not like coinbase or something kekw_recession_edition

Stripe tho 💀

I wouldn’t say startups are immune to layoffs but realistically I don’t think anyone is

Nobody can predict layoffs

They either happen or they don’t

The only people who are basically recession proof is like BB since they literally have laws written that entrenches them in the finance world and they’ll be making money no matter what the economy is like

Less opportunities for others

Yeah same, tbh if I get my offer rescinded I'm confident enough that I could rebound long run

#

At an equivalent type place

chilly burrow

Yeah I'm fine being unemployed for a few months to a year

rustic vessel
#

Could theoretically rebound, but I’d rather not take the risk.

chilly burrow

Obv not ideal

It's kinda because I don't want to fuck up other people's chances at a job but also because signing 2 jobs at once seems messy to me

Do you still apply

Ah ic

but what i do do is apply for industry hire roles with no explicit prior xp required

I applied to an experience required position for wish.com through linkedin and made it to recruiter but they wanted someone to start right away. So it can work but I think it's even lower hit rate then regular new grad

One conversation will have a technical focus with an Engineering Manager. They will want to get to know you and learn about your previous experiences and project work, with an emphasis on technical decisions and your impact on the project, team, or company as it applies to your background.

STAR method, they know you're nervous so just don't be stupid in answering, I like to pretend they're just my friends asking about how a specific part of my internship went

#

I try to keep it relatively jovial

#

"I didn't have this exact scenario, but here's something similar..."

#

most interviewers are not dicks

#

they know you're ng and have probably only had a few projects that you can have on your resume

#

so they'll be chill if you don't have smth exact

#

as long as you get the idea across

#

I mean sure but if you don't have something exact

has anyone used the codesignal questions list on their site to get above 800 on the GCA

have you guys ever wondered what OCD is like?

#

prob not but whatever

#

so basically a way OCD manifests for me is that I read over my job app 37 times before I submit, and as soon as I submit I panic and worry that I submitted the wrong file for my resume
or i checked off a checkbox that i didnt mean to check off

#

OCD tbh is why im a slow learner when it comes to workplaces

very strange take lol

how is it a strange take

because bad market = layoffs = chance of losing your job. of course the market still matters

uncut umbra
#

oh you weren't referencing my take

#

yeah I agree with your assessment

#

I'm def worried about my offer getting rescinded so I'm asking point blank about it and making sure I don't stop recruiting

yeah meant the guy above

so I’m guessing you’re saying no to GM and the other one

i forgot the second one

maybe more, depending on what the offers are

at least until springtime

Yeah I was about to say… very few people know about stuff like mass layoffs

uncut umbra

my confidence is not inspired by the recruiter, I'm just using them as a bellwether

that's why I'm holding until the spring - better picture of the stock situation

night magnet
#

I know they might blacklist me for reneging but I’ll try to keep it as nice as possible

#

And in this economy…

#

Just not worth the risk to me

uncut umbra
#

yeah exactly

#

right now I have one accepted and two other pending offers (although no official offer letter from stubhub yet)

#

going to try to pump up all the offers as much as I can and evaluate on a rolling basis with the offers that I get

night magnet
#

Makes sense

#

(I know no one knows but) Do you guys think there’ll be a hiring spree sometime next year?

uncut umbra
#

info suggests that there will be more hiring opportunities next year

night magnet
#

I feel like the actual number over the layoffs haven’t been massive but at the rate the companies were previously growing + the layoffs = that’s significant missing headcount missing

uncut umbra
#

like some companies like the big G and whatnot don't have really formalized plans, and they're letting q4 and q1 impact hiring

night magnet
#

Are we just hoping for higher stock prices or lower inflation rates

uncut umbra

(not whatnot the company, whatnot is other companies who haven't been hiring much)

night magnet
#

Oh lol

uncut umbra

we are hoping for the confirmation of the abrahamic god

I haven't seen many people with similar experience to mine so take it with a grain of salt. I think all EM rounds have a portion of behavorial but then it seems split between LC, Sys design or just behavorial. I don't have good intuition on what the split is but you could dig through the 2023_grad_process to get some idea of the breakdown

especially if u go to other startups after

like for example, databricks interviewed like almost every intern at one of my internships cuz similar product

when i mean startup i mean like Flexport, Repl.it, Ramp, etc.

companies that are hype in the startup world

ebon quiver

im talking about 50-70 engineers

#

i think thats the optimal size for learning

chilly burrow
ebon quiver
#

yeah thats solid too

chilly burrow
#

but ya its hard to say

ebon quiver
#

flex is like 400, gonna be 800. not that interesting

#

its gonna operate similarily to big tech at that point

#

not exactly the same obv, more scrappy

chilly burrow
#

ya it aint like big tech at 800 imo

ebon quiver
#

yeah i know

chilly burrow
#

but ya def not as lean

ebon quiver
#

but relative to a smaller startup,

#

yeah i know

#

but like comparing that to 50 engineers

chilly burrow
#

yeah i interned at a big tech that was liek 6k

#

completely diff

ebon quiver
#

but hte thing is

#

i have faang on my resume as intenrship

so i should be fine if i want go to to fang in my early career right

ebon quiver

amazon has a "boomerang" within 1 year after you leave, you can boomerang back to Amazon without an interview

ebon quiver

livid yew
chilly burrow
#

so theyre good in my books

ebon quiver
#

yeah but guys

#

you guys are ranking based off of who ou know

#

for me, the smaller the better

#

as long as tech and money is good right now

chilly burrow
ebon quiver
#

its not about the risk/upside for me. its about ownership and learning potential

#

its about impact and career growth

#

and those are optimized at a smaller startup of size 50-70

foggy perch
#

idk risk seems like it should be a bigger factor in the next 1-2 years

#

with how bad the recession seems to be getting

ebon quiver
#

ok obv there are other factors to take into account not JUST size

livid yew
ebon quiver
#

agreed.

#

soooo what do i do

white escarp
#

Just try a year at amazon and see what happen prob

ebon quiver
#

yeah i think is an ez and safe option tbh

white escarp
#

Even if u dont like it then u will have the resume name

ebon quiver
#

yeah thats a good point

#

hb hb

#

i take a startup and amazon

white escarp
#

But amazon gonna layoff soon

ebon quiver
#

then so be it

white escarp
#

U can do both but idk if amazon has non competing policy

rustic vessel
#

Take both, reneg one

livid yew
#

dual job is too much stress imo

#

like

rustic vessel
#

Only thing I gotta say is if you leave zon, you might be blacklisted

#

Manager files you left by pip

white escarp
#

^ ye then assuming u get matched to a bad team at zon then its 60hr work week at zon plus 40 hrs at start up

livid yew
#

80 hrs worryweird

white escarp
#

Its like 100 hr work week lol

ebon quiver
#

i thought zon doesnt care about reneg

#

bruh

livid yew
#

too much work

#

not enough gain

rustic vessel
#

They don’t care about reneg

#

But if you work there and leave for any reason

#

The manager might file you got pipped and you can’t return

ebon quiver
#

what the

#

work there and leave before when

#

how long

white escarp
#

Quit before u got pipped

#

Ezpz

livid yew
ebon quiver
#

u know what woulda been optimal

#

if i got an offer at prestigious huge branded tiny startup

white escarp
#

Like wut?

Amazon is safest tbh

white escarp
chilly burrow
ebon quiver

chilly burrow

#

Yeah Kumo is

# 
The core graph ML technology that underpins Kumo’s product has been in development for the past five years through Stanford and Dortmund University AI labs and Pytorch Geometric open-source software, the world’s most widely used graph neural network open source framework. Kumo’s three founders, Josifovski (former Airbnb CTO Homes, Pinterest CTO, Google), Jure Leskovec (Stanford professor, former Pinterest Chief Scientist), and Hema Raghavan, (former executive at LinkedIn, IBM, Yahoo) saw a tremendous opportunity to take graph learning expertise from an academic setting and operationalize that research for a broad set of use cases in a more user-friendly SaaS product.

you don't need to budget, but I don't see a reason to avoid being aware

Swe jobs are not super stable

Even with 5k rent that leaves you with over 5k a month. How the fuck are you spending 5k on food + travel
