Day in the life of a genocidal egomaniac WFH in Russia. Wake up at 6:30am. Wrestle a bear, then proceed to kill and eat it with bare hands. 7:30am kill some peasants. 8:30am all-hands on the "shoot missile" button. Rest of the day really varies. Some days you enslave underrepresented ethnicities all day (boooring), but other times you get to go on The Voice n shit (look it up)

Both companies are incredibly secure for different reasons. Mike is balls deep in NY and investors so his company will always be secure. Apple has had a wonderful run so their balance sheet is vibing, plus with the holidays it's gonna be even better. I'd say both are equally secure rn

Then at the recruiter call, the recruiter showed up 15 mins late to the scheduled time and I could barely hear him talk over whatever he was using to call. Asked me basic questions with only the 10 minutes left then rejected me next day

then gave up and said lets just do a non-video call

You're right for sure
It's the circumstances raising the hiring bar
I feel like there's no way to objectively compare resume value of companies but this is a year where there's just a lot of really qualified people who interned at really good companies

yeh also in times like these you dont really wanna hire new ppl
that's why when you do layoffs, you get rid of the new grads etc that aren't productive yet
that's just kinda how it is atm but it'll get better

i know people who didn't even know to write classes in Java are in zon , they had no bar .
they mugged up the OA , did a phd on it and just puked it out in the 30 mins interview
ik a guy who had not done LC in his life , like would have done like 20-30 mediums get in zon 2 years back
they had nothing like a bar , it was just you show up explain OA properly and get offer letter in just hours after your final
it was this crazy

Can anybody tell me why people with Perfect VO in Bloomberg are getting rejected. Is there such a thing that they are looking for which is not obvious?

Can anybody tell me why people with Perfect VO in Bloomberg are getting rejected...
I got perfect VO (or at least, next to perfect, I solved 5/6 optimally and 6/6th brute force but they were okay with it)
Behavioural also went well
Got invited to the HR round, then got rejected
rigid quail
every single cs student in america is applying to bb because they’re stable rn
prime palm
I think they're basically at headcount
So even if you have 10 people pass BO
VO
They can still only hire like 5/10
Even if all 10 people passed the bar
If that makes sense

according to an employee on Blind, their interview handling system is just shit. soon as you sign up as an interviewer your calendar gets flooded with interviews, so employees end up no showing

or do it by patterns
i do/did patterns
then you can do the leetcode daily which then it would be better to see if you can understand what pattern to use
since a big part of it is that you're not gonna see the topics tag irl

That's what I assumed since they did ask OS, networks etc. right, and not just lc I assume
They also ask sys design or did you just include that in general?

i found college apps way harder than new grad apps
hasty burrow
damn you gotta everything documented haha
lapis cove
yea codesignal can give u lucky rolls sometimes
the one i took this year was dummy easy
hasty burrow
i found college apps way harder than new grad apps
college apps you had to write essays and stuff so yeah
lapis cove
and ive had ones that are more brutal
hasty burrow
companies don't ask "why do you want to hwork here" as often
lapis cove
yea way more research and shit and involvement as well necessary
tho ig new grad kinda banks on internships partially
teal jackal
i got into a reach(NYU) but my parents couldnt afford it so i went to a match school with merit scholarship(northeastern)
tbh i didnt really feel that passionate about NYU anyways lulz
so i wasnt sad turning it down
not sure if i woulda gone over northeastern anyways
even if my parents were richer
Ok I think I should revise my reasoning for why job searching as a grad is harder than college apps
I think a safety job exists if you apply hard enough, but there is no "match" job since a "match" company can resume screen you or reject you at any phase of the interview step for no reason
College apps for safety or match schools is pretty much predictable
lapis cove
true
if ur set on a college u can be much more likely to get it than if ur set on a specific job
but also like why focus on a specific job
not as significant of a choice as a specific college
left shoal
teal jackal
but also like why focus on a specific job
what do u mean by that? do u mean specific role/field, specific company, or both?
i think starting right off the bat in a good area in CS(not necessarily company related) is very important
company, not so much
I don't simp for any single company
foggy perch
I only ever simp for money

lapis cove
what do u mean by that? do u mean specific role/field, specific company, or both...

in the job search, simping for a company is nonsense
