I might have comorbidity with adhd
I realized
like whenever I'm in a team meeting
everything goes in one ear and out the other
unless someone really gets my attention and then im furiously taking notes so i dont forget
who is this
idk
lmao
kirb thanos snapped kpop
It was the other mfs
YOU ARE LITERALLY THE EVANGELICALS OF THE ONLINE WORLD SPREADING A MESSAGE NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR
I added a bunch of automod rules into my server, now yak gets 5sec timeout on every message he sends 
YOU ARE LITERALLY THE EVANGELICALS OF THE ONLINE WORLD SPREADING A MESSAGE NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR
You mean MY SERVER?
No only hot people allowed
Tbh if u have tips for curbing gifs and certain images i guess sure i’m open or general suggestions. But it would be too much manual work to filter for {set of all kpop names *.gif}
@nocturne oriole you’ll be getting your invitation soon
Create a new cscareer server without kirb


damn, my favorite one is gone
Mans going thru great lengths to silence kpop
OPPRESSION STAY BROKE
im at walmart and yea they rarely lay off swe
turtle bot dead
if any thing directors go first
Time to leave
well you can use regex and maybe the Discord API, and like a list of kpop names
something like that

This server will be dead without us kirb
basically if text exists in list, block
prob build it into the cscrs bot
!avatar @nocturne oriole
U will cry every night becuz u miss us kirb

just no gifs whatsoever
No images too
:1984:
uhh so AutoMod has regex for messages, not sure how that could work with links https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/10069840290711
"Regex filtering is advanced and not for the faint of heart." 
interesting
my c1 portal didnt get updated with the job being closed
im gonna show up to the zoom link anyways tbh
RegEx is very powerful tool tbh
and pray the email was a mistake
and pretend i never saw that the interview was rescinded
I have an app on my mac for RegEx, like it validates patterns and shit, very nice
!pallas

wrong server
is a test server, with hundreds of channels and roles and random stuff
cause the bot can auto-scale channels and roles
pretty neat thing I programmed 2 years ago
module.exports = class PallasCommand extends Command {
constructor(client) {
super(client, {
name: 'pallas',
aliases: ['pallascat'],
group: 'fun',
memberName: 'pallas',
guildOnly: true,
description: 'Sends a random picture of a pallas cat!',
examples: ['!pallas'],
});
}
preview for @pulsar mural 
ope was logged into work azure account
i think mastercard added some positions

First time after a long time .. not seen a bloomberg offer update today

@nocturne oriole time to pin
As someone who has been quietly stalking the discord channel, I noticed that the entire discord server is a bunch of people belittling other people's career decisions. For example, I saw someone asking on that discord, about working at some Fintech company. I shit you not, a bunch of people started to make fun of this person for even thinking about working there. Calling the person "dull" since it’s not a FAANG. There have been so many similar instances. I also it quite bugs me that so many people care more about the compensation. They don't care about what the company does, what the job is, the culture or even where the job site even is. Plus, there is a lot of cheating and leaks on OAs even though the company asks you to keep them private. You may pass the initial OA because of answers you collected from server, but when you meet face to face with an engineer; they will quickly realize what happened. Probably will get your self immediately rejected.
I also it quite bugs me that so many people care more about the compensation.
well thats kinda the point of a job
Plus, there is a lot of cheating and leaks on OAs even though the company asks you to keep them private.
Cheating on OAs is so based tbh
U are responding to a copypasta
i know


Cheating on OAs is good

Reducing variance anywhere u can is good
You cannot conceive of a situation where an OA is harder than a final?
I’ve done 20+ ng onsites
I’ve had plenty
Also even if ur like 50% probability to pass final let’s say that doesn’t mean ur 100% to pass oa
Maybe you’re like 70%
ive had a final where the problem was to add two numbers and check if they are a multiple of 60
And with external assistance u pass oa 85% of the time
Does Google send the OA after the recruiter call? I can't find much info on the process
whereas the oa was 2x lc med and 1x dp hard
The nature of many OA’s is to be an implementation heavy / optimization heavy solution, sometimes several @rain patio. They know u dont have someone breathing down ur neck + it’s the first filter in a multi step process
So the first filter means they want it to be difficult so as to narrow the playing field
a lot of companies know that candidates look up oa solution so in a lot of instances they are purposefully harder than the finals
Priced in Lolol
tbh OA cheating has fucked up the bar for OAs
if youre gonna end up looking up the answer either way, might as well make you figure out a hard one
No it hasnt lol, it takes like 2 decent swe’s 5 brain cells to craft OA’s that are both reasonable and difficult
Fr?
But none of these swe’s work at hackerrank
I’ve had 4 on sites
Maybe one does at codesig
Pin, qualtrics, msft, twilio - my onsited
what kinda car should i build to celebrate being done with one of my classes
The real issue is prob the way they send out same Q to many people. That makes cheating easy. But the other end is like amazon and it’s russian roulette Q bank that can wreck u
qualtrics and twilio even hired this year?
Last year
ah
Ur good i understand experiences differ
Qualtrics for interns and backfills rn
U could probably test out oa questions on employees to standardize difficulties
This is what some quant firms do
One example i feel was atlassian, the OA was harder than onsite imo
Employees would do worse
I had phone after OA. My interviewer was odd tho
can you wreck me
U could always price that in
Pin was the hardest for me
what does that mean? sorry im being slow
tiktok for me
OA was the 2nd hardest question I got the entire hiring cycle
Backfills like ppl who leave company
On-site
Ah
on-site was much easier but I still choked 
Yeah pin interviews are dummy hard
I can’t wait to ask dp extra hard at pin 
Ur at pin now?
I will be if it don’t get rescinded
Pin is doing well n they don’t overhire
never know
They r making profit unlike twitter
Or snap
So it’s different
true
Wouldn’t worry tbh
Only 1k swe right
At qualtrics we have 1400 swe
But like 6k employees
Because we r like a sales company basically
is there a chance that qualtrics might open up hiring for outside hires
before 2023 grad
Idt so tbh
They are strict on only hiring backfills and interns
How do u find this info?
I asked @frank wedge
o
1050 now 
Walmart is hiring too
I heard walmart is growing still
Walmart is nice , u applied?
Yea their stock is valuable tbh
Walmart is in Arizona
Not many want to move out to AR probably
i wouldnt mind arizona
So I think it shouldn’t be too long before u get interview
same
I’m like if u have a car ur fine
as a new grad whos not very social, im location agnostic
I’m in Seattle tho so no car
Same lol. Seattle is always stormy
is it rainy every day now?
Pretty much
Or cloudy
If it rains it sprinkles
i heard its mainly cloudy and humid in winter
don't come to pittsburgh
it's called shittsburgh for a reason
O
Oh AZ is Arizona
U know I nvr took my states test
I went to school in US too
Idk y
There's no such thing as a states test
Nah that's a history test
He's talking about some rote memorization of all capitals and map or something I think
That's a huge waste of time in apush
Like why
Not going to be on the test, not very useful in real life
Yeah but he's saying it like there's an official test, personally I never did one , I did some coloring homeworks at most
Pls dont reject me today bloomberg 🙏
I pledge allegiance to the flag
I miss my elementary school
I sat down for that shit when I went to hs
yall pledged in hs ??
yessir
my school district isn't even patriotic
or like in backwater jesusland
it's in suburban nj lmao
so at some point I just kept working through the pledge once I was realized
it was neither illegal nor unpatriotic to not stand for the flag
How long does it take to get Expedia final round after hackerrank. I got perfect on OA and took it last week
in freshman and sophomore year of high school i was a massive trump supporter so i always bootlicked the pledge of allegiance
at some point i realized maga is dumb and i stopped getting up for the pledge too
We did pledge all of K-12
I imagine a 14 year old you like going outside and humping the flag during the pledge
why did I imagine that
I mean I still don't understand why we say it
I just followed what everyone else was doing 
Yeah we did pledge of allegiance every day too
nothing like good old patriotic brainwashing
i think the "under god" part of the pledge of allegiance is funny
"separation of church and state"
US: nah fam
@slate bobcat 
yo
CoD tonight?
Probably not
I got an exam tommrow
I swear I’ll make time this week

don't think god or jesus would be too happy with the state of the us rn
has anyone done XR trading final round for cpp dev
if all of the companies wishing me the best with my job search actually contributed to my outcome I'd be like joanna
u could be out here with 500+ offers 
trueeeeee
someone reassure me that new grad is not the end-all
joblessness is looking like a real prospect rn
it's gonna be alright r/cscq is saying only big tech is being affected rn and the rest of the industries are still hiring a lot!!
im about to have an aneurysm
This is ironic right?
yes
I genuinely can't tell
Ah
Yeah they're really assuming that local and midsize companies and nontech will have the money to increase HC this year
Same bro
Literally if best wishes were real I'd be so goated rn
ok they are right tho.. the past few years were an unprecedented time for hiring with the pandemic and interest rates at what they were. good times don’t last forever
If I took all of the best wishes that companies sent when they resume rejected me and combined them together, I'd have absolutely nothing
I think the problem is that they're pretending that the rest of tech and tech adjacent is also hiring and increasing hc
idk I still see plenty of job listings on LinkedIn 🤷🏾♂️
Maybe not for new grads but big tech is more likely to hire new grads in general
Yeah most of the listings atm are backfill or only expanding hc for experienced devs
At least SE2 level
right yeah the point im trying to make is new grads are fucked rn, but a lot of ppl are very ignorant abt it
yeah probably💀
I think most of cscq is experienced devs but not at faang and other big tech
I feel so bad that anyone who thought of holding off their job search until winter break
So their perspective is different
New grad hiring was pretty good in august/sept
Csmajors is where the youngins are at
Recession kinda hit by that point tbh
Even then it was harder to get interviews
Than in the past
But it only got worse from there
I have 3 previous internships so it wasn’t too bad for me but yea
Yeah ngl u had to start in July 🫡
I have two, one Amazon one at a local company
My results were not good for starting late August
I still don't really have any light at the end of the tunnel
yeah i was firmly in the boat that applying a bit later was worth it if u still needed to prep
def not the move this season
Same it sucks
Do you at least have final interviews and stuff?
Did u not get return offer from Amazon?
yeah but not counting on them much
Yeah sadly no
I feel like applying in July is optimal now
Rip seems like they are stricter now, I know a couple people this season that also didn’t get return offers
Yeah they raised the hiring bar significantly
They probably predicted that they needed to cut hc
I’d assume u couldn’t apply to FT there then
I can apply for industry hire roles but I'm on Cooldown for student programs new grad
i mean they're right but it is still harder cause of the people who would normally go to big tech now applying to non-big tech
but people acting like there are no jobs at all because faang and some others are frozen is pretty wild, broaden your search 👍
cscq is freshmen cosplaying as devs
yeah prepping during oct this season was not the flex
shoulda been an early flex
I didnt get my bloomberg reject today hahaha
LMAO fr?
no
Bruh
for the longest time I thought this was the csmajors discord
and then there was a whole offer rescinding controversy on csmajors or smth for cap1 and the two groups were hating each other
did they disable sending images in this channel
😢
LOL
I got an offer today
Seems like when you stop giving a fuck they start giving you offers. I literally just gave up on applying a couple weeks ago
LOL i kinda noticed that too
the best times for hiring are at the VERY start where everyone is super hyped up to start applying, and at the end when the remaining people still stuck in job search are burnt out and depressed and given up
Yeah this. Maybe towards the end of the hiring cycle companies realize to let go of the unrealistic expectations
This recruiting cycle definitely burned me out
Congrats on the offer dude
How do you update it in the thing?
!process [insert company here] offer
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
Thanks
congrats
Your wisdom is good tbh
I've genuinely just let go of all expectations as a new grad
I'm done simping for career hustling when career hustling doesnt care about me
Whatever happens is whatever happens
Did u get an offer yet?
nope
Tbh I was in the same position like a week ago
no foreseeable light at the end of the tunnel for me yet
I literally gave up was like whatever
Either way I'm buying a pickup truck with my first 6 months of paychecks
only thing that'll change is how much my truck cuts into my savings
no matter where i work, ill be a dev working on dev shit + have a sick truck
$30k budget on a used GMC
at least 80k would let me comfortably afford it
U have savings right now?
Damn u expecting to get paid 160k?
what are you?
Product
PM?
Yea
sick
I wanna learn more and write SQL
They're switching over to mongodb as well so that'd be cool too
But SQL clicks with me lol
I say that but I was struggling in my final exam yesterday
But do SWEs get paid 180k as new grads?
180k was realistic when HUGE faangs and other big companies were still hiring and growing rapidly
since huge companies hire a lot of people and give a lot more people chances at that kinda Tc because of how many people they hire
this year headcount is in the shitter
180k is unrealistic and a pipe dream now
its not the norm but it can happen
180k requires really good luck now, or you have a god tier resume
even then people with god tier resumes arent getting as far as ideal anymore
thats bubbled lol
not like any shmuck can still get 180k or 200k
or even someone who still in good faith tries and works hard for it
cant get it
basically all the FAANGs pay at least this much for NG, unicorns/HFTs even more
i think hiring freezes and headcount cuts are making the 180k dream a lot more difficult to achieve
I would ignore that thread, it doesn't tell the full story of how hard it is to get now
Sheesh I get paid 12/hr to pick up trash and dog poop #
Ah. I'm not smart for faang or that lol
Don't worry about the company's TC if the company hasn't given you an offer
ignore the discussion on company tc
it doesnt tell the story of hard it is to get
It wasn't exactly just a given to get a good 180k offer even in good years
The only jobs around me pay like 11/hr and part time unfortunately. Cali too expensive
Would you say you're a really talented SWE?
200k+ is like top 1% at best. id say thats pretty rare
1% for all SWEs
I tried applying for those jobs but they don't call back. I got a job where I pick up trash from apartment complexes. Think Valet Trash so that's what I'm doing. It's really tough and disgusting
new grad SWEs at least
hell nah
im alright
im not bad
i thinik i could be qualified to handle most jobs if i worked hard enough
and put my all into it
i mean just this year who is consistantly hiring at 200k+...? palantir.... the 100 ng spots at HFTs... and thats kinda it
i got paid $13 to sit at a cash register and wander around the store aimlessly at gamestop
back in hs
Yeah, I guess it's okay considering I have no experience besides internship
Best type of job tbh
bloomberg probs biggest one this year imo
im more thinkin of base offers since most ppl rnt in a position to negotiate
meh even with base offer bb is approx 178k base + bonus w/ 10k relo
so not too far off 200
but yeah fair, although a few of those probably hired like 20 ngs at most, or havent offered anyone yet
bloomberg TC is goated
also HFT folk are on a different level w/ 300k+ offers
i think that c/o23 missed out on the abundance of 150k+ tc jobs that previous years got
that includes signing
since its just hard to get a job at all now
doesn't signing make HFT offers like 400-500k
I remember seeing someone w/ 500k y1 300k recurr
which I assumed was sign on
400-500 aren't the norm
amazon is done hiring for this year for new grads
or tentatively done
theyll take people off the waitlist if theres space
significantly
i dont think they will stay frozen for long
eh I think amazon hiring is unlikely to improve that much for ng this eyar
year*
considering lots more interns probs accepted return offers than usual
and they have a very large waitlist
they also deleted some orgs/teams I think?
deleted 😂
the freeze is lasting until the end of the year at least, i doubt they will stay frozen all the way until next cycle
for NG?
Offers can get rescinded?
I would not be surprised if they stay frozen for NG, or only hire a small number of people from waitlist
Amazon is even rejecting return interns who were supposed to get offers
for good performance
what does that mean?
isnt amazon's average tenure like 1 year lol
I remember seeing posts of people posting amazon emails
Wtf that's terrible? Like accepted offers or just offers given out that weren't accepted yet
I think amazon is hopeless for the rest of the year since amazon needs to prioritize waitlists
where they were interns who were told they did well, but got rejected for return offer due to lack of HC on team
they surely cannot stay frozen for much longer than that
wait people get rejected for HC reasons? I thought they just get thrown into the general pool of rng team matching
accepted offers, but super uncommon across the industry
🤷
Wtf that's terrible
so out of curiosity, what is a good salary in silicon valley to feel comfortable? like the cupertino/sunnydale area
cost of living there is spooky
usually only for smaller companies or ones in volatile industries
everyone in bay area is a high earner
mountain view too?
youre gonna be at roblox right? where are you going to stay
im just curious
even with the big salaries the big tech gives i get the feeling that in that area its so insanely expensive
like gotta get a roommate
ahhh so san jose is prob where you'd find ppl our age
they live in sf and commute to mountain view?
Do u really want to live in Man Jose? 🤔
man jose 
im not moving there im just curious
When do Bloomberg updates usually come out?
are you talking about portal or just in general
Anyone hear back from eBay?
Cupertino is a boring place
Anyone been waitlisted by Capital One after passing their power day interviews?
How many interviews does Walmart do
I never even got to do power day LMFAO
They had all my dates selection in November and it’s basically December already and radio silence since august
💀💀
If it makes you feel better, all remaining power days got rescinded the Tuesday before Thanksgiving
It’s funny how ever since I got an intern offer both my intern and new grad inboxes have been completely barren
Like literally nothing
Except Walmart now I guess
I’m just winging it for Walmart, did round 1 yesterday and passed overnight
It’s okay I rescinded their power day invite before they could rescind it.
Tbh I think we're still in a position where going to every interview we have is good practice
As entry level, we can never get enough practice
The problem was mad easy
It was a 1 hour interview where he started with some basic tell me about urself and then we went over my OA
I had to talk through everything I did and my thought process
And then I solved the actual problem and we still had 20+ minutes left lol
i dont even think c1 has started scheduling finals in the uk yet lol
Or tbh my perspective on life is different, I have no social confidence so the more interviews I do the more used to it I get
we've been chilling here for like 2 months
I go to every interview I have because I like the practice
Also because I need the job lolll
Yes
Honestly salesforce is kickass, it's worth delaying grad for
More like reverting back to my original graduation
I was pushing it forward to do new grad
My grad date was always December 2023
Ah, so you're a c/o24 kid
Yeah I started college in August 2020
Makes sense
But I’m leaving a semester early lol
Did u carry a lot of ap credits over
Not much AP, more dual enrollment
I know that everyone ik who had a lot of APs and dual enrollment is graduating like at least a semester early
does palantir do any negotiation?
seriously? that's terrible
like not even with competing/better offers in terms of tc?
I went into university with an AA degree already finished
I graduated community college and high school at the same time
In May 2020
dam
What competing offer u got
stub
Ah
I mean I currently have leverage, was wondering if that mattered
The smart kids I knew who had clearly defined goals in life all did dual enrollment tbh
Dual enrollment was best if you just wanted to stay in state
I'm more sus on stubhub overall
I didn’t care to do college applications cross country and I knew my school was solid for CS
So I just did the at
Senior year dual enrollment is really smart if you know you just wanna go to state school
Tbh if I was more educated on career development earlier in life
I would have done dual enrollment to UMass Amherst
My junior year was kinda hellish
I went to northeastern because I'm bad with career stuff
I needed northeastern to convince some local company to give me an internship
I got paid $30 my first internship which was quite nice
But yeah I woulda been fucked if i had to look on my own
My college helped me get my first internship for sure
I went to the right college
Damn wtf that’s kinda lit
I got $15 for my first one 💀💀
And I only got it through a family friend
It helped me get zon tho so fuck it
And now salesforce
So I have that family friend to thank
I should have done that lol
In fact I'm considering still using family friend connections to get me a job
Nepotismmmmm
So true bro
My friend in dual enrollment did a local company internship in the summer after senior year
Dude has his shit together
I really respect him for having a plan in life
No distractions, eyes focused on the main goal
Why is revature so competitive this year? I thought revature was meme/witch tier
🥺
hell nah
I did final almost 3 weeks ago
Nothing since
i hope u put my $5 to good use @weak latch

I covered the remaining $2 but still worth it
its ok we ended up in better places 
FL?
Same
Does anyone know what the 2 interviews at JPMC are like?
has anyone interviewed with retool before?
Hey man, they finally scheduled my final interview for next week. Maybe they’re waiting for everyone to be interviewed to make the decision?
One person got an offer in #2023_grad_process, interview date after mine lol
oh fuck I need to cancel my visa final lol
or maybe I won't idk
just for fun take a final round
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, I saw that. Idk, maybe he has an offer deadline so they made a decision sooner for him. You never know. Btw, did it say what division you interviewed with? I’ll apparently interview with the data and AI platform, so maybe that affects the timeline as well…
Hmm yeah mine is different
Idk how they team match, my entire resume/experience is ML based and it seems I got something unrelated lmao
Damn ML experience,wish I had that 
Lol, I have never done a ML project or taken a ML course, but they’re having me interview with the data and AI team. 🤣
What does it means when a recruiter adds you back on LinkedIn but didn't reply to your email
Would it okay to rescind an accepted offer if you get something better?
yes
Does anyone know what the JPMC superday is like?
I tried to look online for inside scoop
and they seem to not ask very in depth LC
they ask a lot of trivia and sysdesign
It’s literally basic trivia and LC easy
I heard its sysdesign principles, language, and databases right?
OOP
I heard its a tossup actually
It’s extremely basic
OOP/sysdesign trivia, PL trivia, database trivia
what else am I missing
i also saw they asked someone parallelism
do they use java in interview?
some guy on blind was asked java stuff
It doesn’t matter
Java is java
Like if u get asked what an interface is
U cannot complain and say it’s only java
Technical Interview
How do you merge two lists?
How do you find intersections between two lists?
If you were to create a password managing service, tell me about your process.
So when we enter a web address into the browser, say google.com, tell me how that process works from when you enter the address to when you see the web page.
What can you tell me about load balancing?
Could you tell me what abstraction, inheritance, and encapsulation is as well as some examples of them?
How do you test your applications?
This is what one guy said the summary is like
its not that bad tbh
Lc, security, networking, oop
It seems like JPMC really values OOP when it comes to interviewing
I'm definitely gonna be studying up on OOP principles
I heard that security and networkign principles are wildcards, it depends on your interviewer
yeah it was just talking about the stuff on my resume after 10 minutes of talking thru an LC ez question
that's from my online armchair research
Yeah idk I am just repeating what my friend told me. I haven't done it
well in that case it seems like the entire interview is a wildcard
everyone gets asked a completely different combination of principles and questions
its all dependent on your resume
Hm
maybe
ik mine just looked and asked me about how i approached doing projects
things i'd do different and what not
fyi i had no prior internship or anything so it was just projects on my resume
ill just assume its a wildcard
like everything about the technical part of superday seems like a wildcard
total RNG what youre asked
yeah it seems like OOP is generally asked in evvery case
Gl
anything on your resume is fair game is what my mentor told me prior to applying
sounds good
thanks for insights
jpmc just asks whatever tf the interviewer feels liek asking
is the bottom line
no systems or networks
pl0x
What is average JPMC TC?
I mean that can't really be guaranteed lmao
nope, i thought they give location if u get offer
Like that probably only if you get Meets or Exceeds
they said you can get more or less depending on actual performance in the offer letter
Lmao I didn't know about bonus during my most recent offer
Rather I didn't think to ask 
does anyone know what SIG software developer interviews are like? There's not a lot of information out there
i think their plano office is expanding big time
Some companies have a target bonus for minimum rating
And anything below that = pip, so you can safely assume a target bonus is guaranteed
Stay the fuck off blind kids
blind blinds us
Rip bozo
I see

#PACKWATCH REST IN PISS YOU WONT BE MISSED
Lol same man
Budget only with base
Stock is for retirement and bonus is bonus

fuck amazon
@shadow pecan how is life

When I make my SF linky post I’m gonna send my manager a video of 6ix9ne saying YOURE MAD, IM BACK
I got "Outstanding" rating on yearly performance review. So I am coasting for a bit 
a few people from aws been rescinded
Proof
Damn I guess Amazon needs more money
Please decline ur fidelity offer Ty
Retail has razor thin margins
They spend a shitload on it
AWS has insane margins which is why I’m wondering why they’re even laying off
I’d expect retail or business orgs instead
Or like devices
I guess I should start spawning new EC2 instances to increase cost 
Even at Comcast we are only hiring SDE2+ (1.5YOE) and up 
What the actual heck
Someone in bloomberg just sent me this via blind
Wait i cant send photos
What is it
“Hi stay away from Bloomberg, we don't engineer anything here, it's all legacy crap we are demanded to maintain, production issues everywhere, there is 90% chance your life will be miserable” - Bloomberg Employee on Blind via DM
Literally just messaged me this out of the blue
to be honest i heard that there are a lot of legacy teams at bbg
That was basically what my interviewer told me but a bit nicer lol
That kind of broke me on the inside ngl
He said every tool is proprietary and old and worse than the open source versions lmao
tbh not surprised the bloomberg tech stack sucks other than that it's C++
I heard it is super outdated indeed
i know a lot of people are genuinely eager to work in C++ since C++ takes big balls
Also guys how should I answer “Why Palantir?”
"because I like that palantir's software is used by governments and companies to help them do good things"

in reality palantir is used to get undocumented kids deported
Palantir really cares about "Why palantir"
im very passionate about money and uhh uhhhhhhh
Did anyone get a tiktok OA earlier this week ?
I got a buddy at att actually lol
In Dallas
Midwest vs Texas 
It’s pretty wild actually, his whole family moved to Houston after he finished college
No longer a New Yorker 
Philly is not Midwest 
Mf you from the Midwest
Don’t forget your roots

I mean I would rather be in Chicago than Dallas/Houston 
Did anyone get a 2K OA ?
Anyone get Walmart hirevue
I heard Houston is on par with Chicago it’s just got a lot more sketchy areas iirc lol
The best place in Texas def seems like San Antonio tho

I have a meeting in 5 minutes so i'm not going to tear it too bad but that was the dumbest thing ive heard in the last decade 🤣
I mean I’m not planning on moving to Texas any time soon so feel free to roast me lol
Just seems like SA has more of a live music scene and is quite a bit cheaper than Austin
Enjoy all the fun san antonio events like going to the mf alamo 🤠
bruh when artist go on tour they skipping SA lmfao
Houston women???
bro said san Antonio women when was that ever a thing
Well I’m a metalhead so it seems like actually it’s a better scene than austin lol
Again tho all this shit is a cursory glance off the internet tho
May be horribly wrong
I will give you a pass
at least you ain't say something like el paso then we would've had to have a serious discussion on your actions
Lol like I said I’m not planning on moving to Texas anytime soon, was gonna be moving to austin and started seeing San Antonio pop up here n there
Curious tho
In your opinion what is the best city in tx
Austin?
in my opinion as someone who's never been to TX, I say Houston cause they got the best food in TX

Houston has a Polish deli so I would agree with this statement also as someone who’s never been to tx
I see it repeated a lot that Houston is lowkey top 3 city in the country for food because its also I think statistically the most diverse city
I think I have some family in houston and they've never moved so it must be somewhat nice at least 
then Austin (because of tech) then Dallas
.
.
.
then san antonio
my god parents live there
Dallas? I heard Dallas is soulless af
Like it’s just suburbs surrounding offices
And spaghetti highways
thats p accurate lmao
also high rates of lethal road rage iirc
dallas is a cursed city imo
that's texas in general 🤣
MY DREAM
Ugh I personally hate tech cities
I want diversity
And good food
@gleaming fable knows what’s up

oh sheeeet
Amazon rescinding new grad?
Anyone did phone interview with Pure Storage..?? Pls let me know..
where did u get this info? new grad is safe?
Doesnt make sense though new grads are more of a cost than industry hire
I have my start date in dec. Tryna get that move to next week
can u invite me to amz discord?
thanks
Is there a Palantir discord?
@dusty basin I’m joining
Is it usual to do a second 45 minute interview after an initial one for Bloomberg?
One was called a Video Interview, this one a Virtual?
wats the result
Not sure yet, they asked me to give availability for a phone call
i hope you get it mate
Yea I mean they have 5 rounds.
Is there a doordash candidates discord?
thx. 
Damn okay guess the stuff i was looking at online was a bit wrong
Could be. Just take it easy. They rej people randomly now since there are so many people in the pool.
Unfortunately I don’t have blind acc 😂
how?
dont i need a company email
OH I didn’t know that
Kk thx.
intern yes
im new grad 2023
im thinking about delaying my graduation date
that's what i did
new grad 2023 with an amazon offer that will prob get rescinded :/
cuz intern game is kinda easy now
better to have multiple offers i guess
yes
i was supposed to grad this sem but graduating next instead
oh hey it's mr beast
i have intern and ng offers
^ wow congrats!
that's the safest bet. im glad that i applied to both lol
prob super late in the cycle to look for something
will try though
this late in the cycle*
hey dont get discouraged, you will get something
how many new grad positions did you get offers for
currently 3
woahhhh
waiting for 2 more decisions, and two possible interviews
i havent leet coded in 3 months
they are not crazy offers so im still trying
pick it up one day at a time
do 75 blind first, itd be fine
gdi :((
I don't have a return offer at Amazon but good luck to you guys
someone got rescinded from student programs?!?!
i read abt it in the chat but i dont see evidence haha
interesting
why do they prefer keeping student program new grad
No way student programs is rescinding

I can't believe it
could be possible
anything is possible. def safer to have multiple offers in hand
New grads can apply for industry hire at Amazon too, just it's super hard to get past resume screening when you're competing with people with actual full time experience
yeah i figured since student programs can always fill aws vacancies
it was, but consumer division has no real incentive to increase HC
Ok so everyone start wasting more money at work on AWS resources 
but why
now your companies will lay off employees due to increasing cloud prices 
Has anyone here interviewed at figma and can talk about it?
