SWT being cancelled def ruined my mood today

Don’t even know how to feel like it’s hard being a smash fan when the scene takes so many L’s

[deep wasp]

One of my professors told me stone cold that capital one just onboarded ‘700 SWEs’ and that we shouldn’t be worried about a recession. This sounds like major 🧢 regardless of the recession comment

[cerulean basin]

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

[timber rock]

yeah

mine were all on the tagged questions on lc

[mint sonnet]

was it tagged?

oh really

like the one on this subreddit?

was it tagged before you took it?

[timber rock]

i havent seen the list here, i just use the list on leetcode

yeah they were all tagged

[mint sonnet]

do you by any chance have the leetcode list?

I cant seem to find it online and I dont have premium

[timber rock]

nah, i dont have premium anymore

[mint sonnet]

Does anyone on here have premium that wouldn't mind hitting me up with the questions?

[marsh sand]

Do I need to learn sysdesign for palantir decomp?

It doesnt seem or feel like sys design cuz it’s soo vague

[lament summit]

^

[marsh sand]

Okok I’ll still read into sys design stuff tho

[lament summit]

doordash layoffs

fuck

[livid yew]

Damn my dinner order will be late tonight now

[late kestrel]

or maybe itll be faster

all the laid off engineers working deliveries

[livid yew]

I don't see why that's a bad thing

SWE during the day, delivery at night

Xtra pocket money

[late kestrel]

when r you gonna spend that money then 😂

[fossil jewel]

more doordash

you deliver yourself the food

[lone rapids]

When is your recruiter call with palantir

[livid yew]

Never

[teal jackal]

I hate interviewing
Like can’t I just do one technical and be done
Nope gotta do like 5 more just in case it was a false positive
one false negative kills my application but oops I could’ve had 5 false positives guess I gotta do another interview

I just fucking hate job searching because employers hold 100% power and the applicant has no leverage
you declined or reneged? no problem the employer will find someone else tomorrow

job searching is some hazing ritual ass shit

oh well, tbh i get why it has to be a hazing ritual. so many qualified applicants, companies dont know who to choose

[quick kindle]

its not 100%, its just harder now since there are hiring freezes. There are still openings now, just more competitive

[crude saffron]

It’s just a function of how many candidates there are and how many spots are available

[teal jackal]

yeah pretty much

I hate job search culture but understand why it is this way

[crude saffron]

More interviews are better

[echo stratus]

its only hard now dude. Before u land 5 interviews even if u mess up in a few the stats are in ur favour

[crude saffron]

There’s less variance for qualified candidates

Otherwise it’s a crapshoot who gets chosen if everyone is equal

[quick kindle]

The interview process is broken, you only have to do some leetcode style algorithm in work once a year at most

[crude saffron]

All the physics mfs

[nocturne oriole]

@pulsar mural

[quick kindle]

just because someone can pass some dumb leetcode question does not mean they can write decent software or gather requirements from stakeholders

[teal jackal]

hm

[proper dawn]

yes

lol

ofc it is

[teal jackal]

youre screwing people like me over hard who have no offer, but tbh I respect what you gotta do

I think you should accept both

for your own safety

[nocturne oriole]

Not super agreeing with this field being overly accessible. If anything yes u do get physics mfs and math whizzes but even those people are top of their field

They could have pivoted to other things

Not a problem with swe

[echo stratus]

this economy u gotta accept every offer u get

and then keep interviewing

[teal jackal]

I think calling CS super accessible to all majors, that statement carries a lot of survivorship bias

[echo stratus]

Pretty toxic and lose-lose situation for employers and other candidates but u gotta put urself first

[nocturne oriole]

It can be the most accessible but not excessively so. Excessively means they lack the qualifications and are bamboozling their way in

[teal jackal]

if everyone could just be a software engineer despite being a lesbian dance theory major in college, we'd see a lot more of those types

[quick kindle]

I still think networking is a way better way to get your foot in the door at a company rather than cold applying

[nocturne oriole]

The stem phd’s and math undergrads are killing it man they code better than us sometimes

Yeah just that one word but i see ur point

[grizzled bronze]

[nocturne oriole]

Like we cant have our cake and eat it too. Cant have lc as evidence of meritocracy and also complain about other fields trojan horsing us

[proper dawn]

HAHHA

[deep wasp]

Also at my school the Computer Engineering majors tend to be better than the CS majors lol

[echo stratus]

but my iq not high enough to accept my adobe and msft offers too lmao and now my amz offer is at risk of being rescinded too

but yeah pretty grateful I kept amz as backup. It was actually my friend who told me to do it

[proper dawn]

I mean ofc math and physics kids will do well

they do really hard shit

they're smart ppl lol

[teal jackal]

are u gonna take and accept the amazon offer soon?

or considering it

[echo stratus]

yes already did

[teal jackal]

nice

[echo stratus]

but still interviewing in case of rescind

[teal jackal]

good call

[echo stratus]

still high chance imo

[deep wasp]

But didn’t the layoffs already happen

Why would it still get rescinded if it hasn’t yet

[nocturne oriole]

Ur friend saved ur life on god

Buy them a 6 pack lol

[echo stratus]

fr

[teal jackal]

after this semester I'm gonna be spam applying to industry hire roles with immediate start
How do I explain on my resume that I have one class left in spring 2023 and I can work full time immediately and just take that one class in my free time?

[nocturne oriole]

Im calling G layoffs by end of Jan tbh

[echo stratus]

i'm aws

[crude saffron]

Priced in

[echo stratus]

whens ur start date?

[nocturne oriole]

I heard doordash laying off can anyone verify

[crude saffron]

All equities are priced in

I’ve accepted this

[nocturne oriole]

Being ugly is priced in

[teal jackal]

who do I ask for professional references when I didn't do all that well in any of my prior internships?

[deep wasp]

https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/doordash-cuts-1250-jobs-an-effort-rein-expenses-2022-11-30/

[echo stratus]

ok. Incase u havent seen - my recruiter said all 2023 student programs offers are safe. Student programs got approval from high up

but wouldn't bank on it anything can happen

yea u should

[nocturne oriole]

Bro takes out the trash at goldman sachs

Bro cleans the whiteboards at jp morgan

Bro is matt damon from goodwill hunting

Waiting for his big break

[proper dawn]

Who is even hiring

[crude saffron]

Matt Damon wasn’t waiting for a big break

[proper dawn]

I’m trying to look for backups

[crude saffron]

He was actively inting

[nocturne oriole]

Matt damon a grad from hustlers university

Ur right bro

[crude saffron]

Uhhh temple is better

Sun god is worse than tech terror tho

Less Moab popping power

And u don’t rly care about bloon popping power late game

Cause u can just spam gz’s

[teal jackal]

tbh whatever on coderquad's repo that isnt closed

no matter the size of the company

or tc

[echo stratus]

palantir still hiring or nah?

[crude saffron]

I think cit is still hiring

[echo stratus]

oh

can u link application?

[crude saffron]

It’s fast to find online if u just go on their website

[teal jackal]

Lol is citadel pure LC?

or what do they ask in their interview

[crude saffron]

It’s lc and os for sure

[teal jackal]

last year i didnt even bother submit their OA

lawllll

[crude saffron]

They might have extra stuff

Qr fs

Qt caps out at like 1mil a few years in

Qt has the lowest beta from your contribution to bonus

You have higher floor for comp but much lower ceiling

[west egret]

Is coderquad even getting updated consistently? Feel like it went on for like 2 weeks with new postings at one point.

Granted that was likely due to market conditions and not just lack of updating the repo.

[crude saffron]

Qr or qt?

[teal jackal]

will wang probably exhausted tbh

but also job scene is dry

no new listings worth talking abt

[crude saffron]

Cit is nice cause u can do like 4 different interview processes lol

Qr qt for cit llc citsec

Cit interns make a lot

[foggy perch]

does cit swe ft interview require more than being a lc monkey

[crude saffron]

AirPods

Lulu merch

[foggy perch]

damn

[crude saffron]

Yea, u also get a trip. They had like the nicest resort in SD reserved for incoming ng and interns

[teal jackal]

I will interview, leetcode, and study so hard for Citadel if they buy me my dream truck

[crude saffron]

They have a Miami trip coming up for office tour and each cit employee gets a +1 to bring

[teal jackal]

If Citadel will buy me a GMC Sierra HD Denali, I will work so hard and simp so hard for citadel(even tho ill fail interview or even resume screening at some stage probably due to idk)

https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/2020-gmc-sierra-hd-denali-119-1600970632.jpg

[weak latch]

Yes I already did

[teal jackal]

6.6 liter V8 Engine, pollutes so much that the thought of me driving this truck will cause Greta Thunberg's tears to singlehandedly flood all the beaches on earth

[foggy perch]

based

is it a herman miller at least

[teal jackal]

how expensive is the herman miller

[livid yew]

Tbh you don't need it

[weak agate]

I notice some new hires are terminated before or soon after onboarding, including meta, google, doordash etc. How can we protect ourselves, poor 23 ng?

[foggy perch]

I respect the man so much if he somehow finesses it

[foggy perch]

accepting safer companies or multiple offers

[teal jackal]

$500? Bruhhh

[livid yew]

We have nice All steel chairs at the office, I looked up the price almost $700

[teal jackal]

just ask for $500 more

[livid yew]

[teal jackal]

All I want is a GMC Truck

[crude saffron]

Most prop shops comp equipment up to a reasonable amount

Qrs are mainly moving to nyc I think

[foggy perch]

idk miami sounds pretty rough

[livid yew]

Bro nobody does this anymore

[crude saffron]

Nah just grind it out for a few years and move to PE 😤😤😤

[livid yew]

This is like 1980s intern

You boss probably gonna segg later

[foggy perch]

boss probably doing his morning coke

[teal jackal]

unironic? i thought the coffee run intern was a stereotype for unpaid interns back before the job market was dominated by gigatryharding

[timber rock]

Iirc it was an intern offer as well. He was like I know we can't negotiate intern salary but I could ask for a nice chair instead

[livid yew]

I'm at lunch with my boss, and we are talking about Nintendo being a clown

[crude saffron]

Become millennium PM

[foggy perch]

did the post say if he got it

get the millenium puzzle

become pharaoh of egypt

[crude saffron]

R they good?

Idk anything about them

[foggy perch]

classic nintendo

does he still buy nintendo games anyways though

[timber rock]

The comments were just clowning on him I would be surprised if he tried after that

[livid yew]

I go to lunch with boss several times a week

[crude saffron]

Do u know anything about cubist?

[foggy perch]

does it pay big buckaroos

[crude saffron]

I just know millennium traders are just on adderall and button clickers

[foggy perch]

i just assumed all traders were on adderall tbh

every drug known to man to stay awake

[crude saffron]

Mfe shop?

Arrowstreet pays a lot for interns and ng

Oh

My friend is at a quant shop and doing an mfe to troll and cause it’s comped and he says his class is full of npcs

Ew

[uncut umbra]

5 pm today lol

[crude saffron]

Isn’t that cause of work authorization hack

That’s y u see so many intl with masters go to like hrt

[livid yew]

Fuck a master's degree

Useless in SWE, unless you wanna do research or be professor

[crude saffron]

Masters in like ai is probably more useful than mfe idk

Seems like a lot of the academic qr shops like research exp

[livid yew]

I have not done any AI/ML stuff ever

Never took any classes in college

[crude saffron]

7???

[teal jackal]

MSCS with a thesis sounds really valuable to Quant

prestigious MS program with good quality thesis

[sudden depot]

does anyone have good resources for negotiating an offer

[crude saffron]

2s lies they say team match is last interview

And then u have inf hiring manager interviews after

[sudden sequoia]

what a depressing year for job searching

this shit ass

[glass egret]

Dw about two sigma. Their attitude… gosh. I’ve got many peers including me that finished their ng interview process

Nope 😅

[crude saffron]

Come to trading the interview processes are much shorter and easier 😈😈😈

Uh my friends said it’s like 5-6

[foggy perch]

damn wtf didn't know 2sig interview was that bad

[crude saffron]

It’s like 2 hours if u suck lol

[foggy perch]

gonna have to train my mental stamina for quant interviews

alternatively maybe the interviews are just a way to prepare you for the rough wlb to come

[crude saffron]

Sys equities this year aren’t doing great except for citsec

Yea

[foggy perch]

I wonder what % of employees HFTs fire per year compared to Big tech, since theoretically a higher interview bar means less false positives they have to fire later right

idk since I've heard a lot about people quitting from HFTs due to burnout

oh rip

[crude saffron]

Gqs is quite fast

Optiver d1 also cycles fast

[foggy perch]

dang

[crude saffron]

Optiver eu trader is 50% cut first year lol

[foggy perch]

also I've seen weird HFT contracts

so if you get fired by an HFT in a quant/swe position

are you allowed to work for another HFt immediately

or is there some clause where they pay you for x time, then you can work

since the contracts look so weird

[karmic harness]

garden leave

[crude saffron]

Uh typically if u get fired ur nc won’t be enforced fully

Cause ur bad

[foggy perch]

f

so is it usually they pay you for like half a year

then you can work elsewhere

[crude saffron]

Qr nc is usually like 2 years lol

[foggy perch]

wtf

do they pay you

for those 2 years

[crude saffron]

Yea

[karmic harness]

yes

[foggy perch]

oh

nvm goated

[late kestrel]

[deep wasp]

Ripplematch just sent me email saying Datadog rejected me. They also sent it 4 times. Thank you ripplematch, very cool.

[nocturne seal]

Did you do behavioral screen already?

[marsh sand]

For palantir karat it says I need to do it within 7 days; does this mean the redos must be done within the 7 day timeframe as well?

[uncut umbra]

I forgot, maybe?

I don't plan on doing it obviously lol

[nocturne seal]

Damn, I just did mine he other day and the OA comes after

But no response 😔

[uncut umbra]

2006 Nissan Altima:

[primal pike]

whats the goat resume template now

the one that can get me hrt offer with no oa

[jaunty basalt]

I think this was the place with the most garbage OA platform

[teal jackal]

Which platform?

Cisco's was kinda wack too, the screen for displaying testing and results was uncomfortably formatted

The login system was weird

[uncut umbra]

I still maintain examity is worse

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah but I got stuff correct

On the SAP one they gaslighted me

Then passed me

[nocturne seal]

Bruh Cisco OA was the absolute worst

Trash platform and questions were poorly translated from another language

[nocturne seal]

Nvm just got it

[modest night]

anyone ever get rejected after bloomberg hr round?

[teal jackal]

Fuck cisco fr

[ancient holly]

Have anyone tried to get a reference from a company with a no reference policy?

[modest night]

wait is the bloomberg hr round basically em round?

or is it something else

cuz they wanted me to do it today

[gloomy terrace]

does forward ask lc or sys des

[foggy perch]

completely different, HR happens before EM

[karmic harness]

I have heard unpleasant experiences in interviews with forward

So gl

[gloomy terrace]

ty

let's see

[distant rampart]

do u guys think doordash new grad offers will be affected?

[nocturne seal]

Think of LC questions that involve making a class and instantiating objects

Can you get rejected after palantir recruiter call

[teal jackal]

yes

source: i got rejected

Thanks for taking the time to speak with me about Palantir - it was a pleasure to learn more about your journey. I spoke to our hiring team, and while they agree that you offer a strong skill set, they have unfortunately determined that we do not have any positions that are a match at this time. I genuinely enjoyed our conversation and hope to reconnect regarding future opportunities. I wish you the best of luck in your current search!

they just ask behaviorals

[azure zephyr]

both

[teal jackal]

like why palantir

and shit

[wind drum]

tbf it's not them doing rejecting, it's kind of a team match after that round

[low scroll]

SAP doesnt take latex resumes

whack

[uncut umbra]

that's brutal

so sorry

[teal jackal]

tbf i cut the line with resume screening through recruiter cold emailing

so i guess its the price i pay

[uncut umbra]

that's a shit price tho lol

[teal jackal]

next time im gonna try to cut the line at a company that does team placement after offer

but also I felt like it was good warmup

I think itw as my first interview

[uncut umbra]

I feel the same about datadog

[teal jackal]

datadog refused to let me cut the line

like i was ghosted or told to wait

yeah

its gone now

[wind drum]

too many ppl posting kpop gifs

[uncut umbra]

your name gives me steven universe vibes

[uncut umbra]

and your pfp reminds me of junji ito

[wind drum]

haha it's Togashi but close enough

[lament basin]

headlands oa 💀

[uncut umbra]

hakusho or hunter?

close enough tbh

I heard that was a shitshow tho

although I was around for voltron so idk how big of a shitshow

[wind drum]

hxh, in one of his recent chapters

[uncut umbra]

recent i.e. pre-hiatus?

[wind drum]

nah like post hiatus

[uncut umbra]

I mean it won't get you anywhere

[uncut umbra]

oh shit I need to get into hxh now

I keep on forgetting

[wind drum]

yeah it's covering the origins of phantom troupe rn

[uncut umbra]

[fossil jewel]

[fossil jewel]

i applied like

then i got an invite for an hr call

and then reject

[nocturne seal]

Anyone else interview with Atlassian on 11/18 not hear back yet

[gloomy terrace]

[elder locust]

[gloomy terrace]

[last summit]

[strange ore]

^

[hasty birch]

Probably gpt-3

[deep wasp]

Yeah

Was gonna say the same

[nocturne seal]

Recruiter call lasted 20 out of 30 minutes

That’s usually a bad sign for me💀

[cedar cedar]

if a recruiter asks you to do more rounds after the "final" one, it's a bad sign huh

[teal jackal]

what company?

[nocturne seal]

Palantir

[teal jackal]

hmm

who knows

just wait and see

but be mentally prepared for reject after hr screen

[sinful topaz]

if i missed the call and they email lets reschedule should i be worried? idk if they are gonna be petty and never respond lol

Joey Colon 🏳️‍🌈 (@joeydotdev)

In the cscareers discord, we collect data around what someone's current status is when applying to a job (rejected, final round interview, offer, etc). Despite gaining >25k members since Nov. 2021, we are seeing a 50% dip in job offers year over year 😥

Twitter · Nov 30, 2022, 6:49 PM

😔

[teal jackal]

[white escarp]

I think lots of people dnt process their status

We should count the rejection as well

[teal jackal]

yeah

I think we should count amount of rejects in the server this season

[chilly burrow]

Overall it is lower

Overall amount of processed statuses are lower

[white escarp]

Yeee

Thats what i thought too

[late kestrel]

lot of companies never opened up so... cant be offered or rejected by those

[teal jackal]

I think this is the single worst time to be applying for new grad jobs in tech

These companies don't have the money anymore to expand entry level headcount

interns are lower commitment and dont count towards HC the same way

[white escarp]

I wonder what it was like in 2008 when the recession came out

2008 vs 2022-2023

Which one is worse

[twilit wasp]

i dont need this kind of depression rn

[uneven grove]

Hive CEO call tomorrow 🥶

[teal jackal]

CEO? or CTO

yeah pretty much

they traditionally dont hire many anyways

[uneven grove]

CEO

[teal jackal]

Wow

did u have 3 previous rounds

of tech interviews

[uneven grove]

Yeah total of 3 tech rounds

I was told there was a cto call though but I never got that

As like my 4th technical

[teal jackal]

I think its interesting that hive has candidates meet straight with the founders

[uneven grove]

It’s a smaller startup I guess?

[teal jackal]

but it is a small company

anyways

gl broski

[uneven grove]

No way they call to reject right

That’s such a waste of time for the CEO

[teal jackal]

not sure

wait CEO = offer?

[uneven grove]

Unless the CEO is checking my vibes during the call

[teal jackal]

and CTO = final

?

[fossil jewel]

where is the guy who used to say “my recruiter said x is done”

[wind drum]

yoooo joey the mvp, hype there is actually some quantifiable data to look at

[west egret]

Did you see my meme post in processing? lol

[fossil jewel]

I DID

it reminded me of him

[late kestrel]

he left the server over a month ago

[fossil jewel]

damn i guess his recruiter said he’s done shitposting

[uncut umbra]

airtable reject

after a peach of a take home

[west egret]

#2023_grads message

[west egret]

Prob for the best. Why are we still here?

[late kestrel]

🤣 ong idk

i left for like 2 weeks and then came back to ping someone and now we're here

[west egret]

Simprasir or w/e their name was

[wind drum]

meek

[wind drum]

wasn't simp guy like lying abt everything

[uncut umbra]

he was like 50/50 shitpost right

[west egret]

I mean I never cared enough about the validity of offers for some rando in CSCareers

So idk

[teal jackal]

same bro

im mad too

gedeon

Gedeon was shitposting hard back in september about "recruiter said any hope for a good life for you is over"

[wind drum]

it was for a good cause

[teal jackal]

Gedeon eventually got his C1 offer and moved on in life

which i respect and envy

[hasty birch]

He got his C1 offer really early, was shitposting after that. Think he left after signing

[teal jackal]

yeah gedeon pretty much just cut his losses and accepted that C1 is probably the best he can do without busting his balls or letting the deadline expire

sigh

i hate being unlucky to inherit the recession

[uncut umbra]

palantir call rn

wish me luck

let's see if they bait and switch

lmao they haven't joined the call yet

so yeah maybe I'll get ghosted on the recruiter call post-final

[uneven grove]

What my recruiter said was after 3rd technical, it’s another technical with CTO. Then you get a call with the CEO. For some reason I skipped the CTO around and now have have 15 min call with CEO tomorrow

[teal jackal]

wow

good luck

[pure mauve]

ur a beast dawg. How were the tech rounds?

[uneven grove]

Haha tyty but not even dude. All the tech rounds were very well known LC problems

So I just looked like I really knew my shit

[teal jackal]

I got asked a lot of hards but the interviewers were all super nice and forgiving

[livid yew]

@pulsar mural time for bed

[teal jackal]

I've been beaten up hard enough by this recruiting cycle that I've accepted that I'm not a strong candidate, and I'm simply not in a position where I am a good candidate for my goal of getting back into faang tier and above

I've reached the point where I've just accepted that I don't deserve faang rn

[livid yew]

[livid yew]

yep, time to look elsewhere

tbh

still some good jobs outside faang/big tech/startups

[pulsar mural]

I deserve faang right @livid yew

[teal jackal]

I think even working at a regular company would humble me

with how much I need to learn

[livid yew]

[late kestrel]

no tributes for this guy... what a lame-o

[grizzled bronze]

FAANG doesn't deserve a hard worker like you

[dusty mauve]

r u gonna reneg stubhub?

[uncut umbra]

I haven't signed so it's not a renege yet

[dusty mauve]

[high arrow]

so is bloomberg already full? i finally had my second technical interview scheduled but kept hearing that headcount was being reached

[late kestrel]

no one knows

until they officially announce it

[west egret]

Where were you going? Atlassian?

[west egret]

Yeah anything in this server about BB hc is from randos that don’t even work in the company. Just speculation.

[modest night]

whats the highest anyone negotiated bloomberg to?

well i recently got my hr interview invite unless the hr interview is a rejection i dont think they reached hc

[sonic coral]

@young peak

[modest night]

has anyone gotten a bloomberg offer as of recent

[strange ore]

bb intern offer yesterday, last recorded 2023 grad 11/23

[late kestrel]

damn that was a while ago

[wheat seal]

Didn’t DoorDash already do layoffs ?

[plush schooner]

i know centene corporation does, but it doesn't offer resume boost nor does it give good internship pay

[fossil jewel]

i went to their tech recruiting event early in september or late august. Most of the recruiters that were presenting have posted on linkedin that they got laid off

[wheat seal]

They still have swe posting on LinkedIn tho

[fossil jewel]

early careers or more experienced

[idle stump]

Had anyone applied for Barclays expert graduate program? I just received an online link but I don't know what to expect

[wheat seal]

Early

[loud ivy]

Lol what? Are you sure?

[livid yew]

Bro intern pay varies so much tbh

My internships were like $23/hr

[late kestrel]

centene offered $25/hr for systems engineering fully remote in 2021

no idea ab swe tho

[plush schooner]

17 for me

then i had 21 second summer

[loud ivy]

When did he intern there?

[bright mountain]

Is anyone still waiting on Roblox lmao

Did my vo on the last week of October

And additional on the first week of Nov

[loud ivy]

what for real? I was an intern at CB this summer and no one on the discord has heard anything lmao

[livid yew]

lmao this was back in 2018 and 2019

so

I was junior in 2019

[late kestrel]

A stinky?

Average kpop gif poster

[fossil jewel]

[livid yew]

Bro kpop can jump off a cliff for all I care

[late kestrel]

[livid yew]

Like it's just another music genre

I don't see people creaming their pants over 80s rock the same as kpop

[late kestrel]

you obviously dont hang out with enough older ppl

[livid yew]

No I don't really talk to people over the age of 35

[fresh lagoon]

the 80s rock fans havent discovered twitter

[livid yew]

Twitter is still a thing

I thought it died last week

[late kestrel]

it did

youre just dreaming

[livid yew]

Like the servers went down

Good

Fuck that place

[late kestrel]

twitter is a sim now

[livid yew]

most of my sleep is just black void

No dreams in the past 2 months

[late kestrel]

i dream like once a month

had one last night

[livid yew]

Was it moist

[late kestrel]

kinda

we were debating on what to do during spring break yesterday

and so ofc last night

i dreamed about going to some resort

with friends and it was kinda a nightmare

[livid yew]

[late kestrel]

foreshadowing

[livid yew]

@nocturne oriole fine allow images again,but put "kpop" on blacklist

[nocturne oriole]

Who dat

[lime current]

he definitely checks ur vibe first

then give offer if no red flag lol

[uneven grove]

Ohh is that the same for everyone?

[lime current]

at least for me

he started the call asking stuff abt my background

introducing the company

asking if I have other offers

then finally gave me an offer

[uneven grove]

Ah ok

[lime current]

but I think 95% offer

[uneven grove]

I was worried he wouldn’t give an offer if I mentioned I had other offers lol

[lime current]

dw

I told him I had an expiring offer

[uneven grove]

I guess it’s to make sure you’re a decent and friendly person

[lime current]

yea it's basically asshole check

[uneven grove]

Yeah I told my recruiter about my expiring offer too

[lime current]

congrats dude

[uneven grove]

Tyty I’ve aged 20 years in the span of 3 months

[lime current]

I'm not taking their offer tho

[uneven grove]

Lmao probably same

[lime current]

5 days /wk in person

bad wlb

sounds like hell

[uneven grove]

If it was in nyc I probably would take it

I hate SF

[lime current]

same

[prime palm]

why

[elder locust]

my recruiter who was ghosting me for 2 weeks after i gave my time slots finally replied! she cancelled the interview and offered me direct finals

[teal jackal]

I'm motivated to succeed, work hard, and keep applying in the long run now, out of a sheer hatred of the job search system that robbed me of a career
I am done attacking myself and thinking that I don't deserve my goal
I will not give up

[chilly burrow]

Wdym robbed u of a career?

[teal jackal]

I 100% feel robbed by the recession

I'm gonna fall behind with career development if I don't work hard and stay hypermotivated, as a result of it

[chilly burrow]

Ahhh, yeah it sucks

Gl

[teal jackal]

I'm gonna work harder in life and keep being persistent so I don't fall behind

thanx bro

[dense blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/chainsaw-man-csm-power-csm-power-chainsaw-man-anime-gif-26395209

[dense blaze]

[teal jackal]

[high arrow]

bb interviewer has ghosted me 😦

[teal jackal]

F

[crystal delta]

is airtable phone hard

have it in like 1.5 hrs

[neat shore]

Nah hive apparently has bad wlb

Like over 40 hours

[teal jackal]

im skeptical about hive

but its the price you pay i guess

[neat shore]

No other company makes u come in 5 days a week

[teal jackal]

im more worried about bad management than bad wlb

bad wlb with good management = youre busy all the time but gonna learn a lot and do a lot

bad management = seems like everything is just a misguided mess

tru

i heard from glassdoor tho that hive fires before vesting

[crude saffron]

Yes go to 2s with 0 hrs/week

Your hourly is therefore infinite

That’s why tc doesn’t matter

[livid yew]

69 hours a week, take it or leave it

https://blog.interviewing.io/you-now-need-to-do-15-better-in-technical-interviews-than-you-did-at-the-start-of-2022-and-the-bar-will-keep-rising/

[teal jackal]

FUCK

[west egret]

One important thing is that they were looking at average interview scores for senior engineers with 7 years of experience

Not new grads

[grizzled bronze]

In January more positions will start opening up

[teal jackal]

god i hope youre right lmao

but tbf a lot of companies or teams determine annual HC after new year

[livid yew]

Good luck y'all

[slate bobcat]

[livid yew]

Hey you can't be doing that here

[proper dawn]

[sonic coral]

That doesn’t bode well for the future tho

[west egret]

Ehh worry about NG before jumping ahead to your prospects for senior

[timber rock]

"The bar will keep rising" is a funny statement considering their own data shows the bar lowering until companies started freezing and laying off lol

[uncut umbra]

if my destiny is to be anxious about college while in hs, and about new grad while in college, then I will be anxious about being a senior dev as a new grad

[timber rock]

Layoffs and freezes won't continue forever, it will eventually return to normal

[west egret]

Next step would be mid level as NG though

[whole roost]

Anyone know what Epic Systems OA is like?

[uncut umbra]

SHHHHHHH

[whole roost]

They said no need to study but that has to be 🧢

[foggy perch]

eh I feel like this stat is probably skewed off by companies like Defense Contractors, Bloomberg, and other chill companies

but also places with bad wlb are the tryhard ones that are more likely to cut fat

like twitter

since they think cutting fat can just throw the remaining work on a tinier set of people

amazon's also an example of cutting fat even though a lot of teams were tryhard

wack

all my interviewers who were in aws seemed to have awful wlb

self described by them

ye

hm

I'd say 40 wlb of super tryhard work

is probs rough wlb

[sonic coral]

Lol I’m a FT

[foggy perch]

I feel like most people who work 40 hours a week as a swe

aren't producing work every second

ye

so the question is just what % of that 40 hours you have to be productive

[west egret]

I mean that was in general

[sonic coral]

Yeah I’m just saying this doesn’t bode well for the industry as a whole

Job hopping gonna be harder

[livid yew]

[marsh sand]

Was searching around some stuff regarding why Palantir rejects candidates after HM:

Apparently they look at your resume again and reject you if you have too less experience or smth

It’s like looking at the whole package again wow

[late kestrel]

bb does the same. they reject a lot after EM, although not as many as palantir

your recruiter has a meeting/talks to all your interviewers and gets a final vote before extending an offer

[west egret]

Bro my resume is bare except for my internship this past summer lol

[late kestrel]

id imagine interviewer quality + interview performance >>> resume

[west egret]

Then that leaves me even more confused(referring to performance) 😂

[late kestrel]

add a lil luck then maybe 😏

[uncut umbra]

can confirm

got bb em late

got lucked

(unlucky fucked)

[west egret]

Then got higher TC offer after anyways

Chad

[mint sonnet]

ok does anyone have tips on how to grind leetcode effectively

i feel like i am remember the solutions a lot of the time

[marsh sand]

but got palantir doe 😄

Palantir >>>> BB

[west egret]

Real life footage of @uncut umbra :

[marsh sand]

Actually doe lmao

Imma take my Karat on Monda

[pure mauve]

bro all these interview processes take years to complete

[teal jackal]

resume doesnt matter at all if u pass screening

as long as u can defend the resume to the interviewer if they grill u on it

[nocturne seal]

What’s better 95k in Florida or 130k in the Bay Area

[sage sluice]

where in florida

[nocturne seal]

Tampa

[late kestrel]

right but you as a candidate is looked at as a package, resume included

[sage sluice]

avg rent in tampa is like 1/4th of average rent in san francisco

[uncut umbra]

nah that's the real hachiyuki

[teal jackal]

95k in tampa is p good i think

[sage sluice]

yeah 95k in tampa is crazy good

also no state tax

[uncut umbra]

I have reverted

[sage sluice]

both salaries are more than good enough tho, so up to you

[west egret]

I'm assuming you're from FL? I'm from FL as well. I'd say Bay just to have change of scenery and more opportunities there.

[sage sluice]

same

im from florida and i think tampas kinda lame

[west egret]

I think Bay Area is gonna be more fun in general compared to Tampa

Just a diff vibe there

[sage sluice]

also if you wanna switch jobs you might have to move out of tampa

whereas you prob wont have to move out of the bay area

[west egret]

Yeah tech in FL is kinda limited

[sage sluice]

we just got defense companies and a couple of offices for banks

bay area has everything

[west egret]

Yeah like JPMC and AMEX

I think Spotify has a Miami office but that's it

[sage sluice]

spotify isnt even real

[nocturne seal]

Bruh why is cali so expensive

[livid yew]

The fuck lmao

Spotify is a company that exists

[sage sluice]

nope

i aint ever met a spotify intern / fte

never even met someone that interviewed

its an illusion

a hoax

[livid yew]

I got to final with them back in 2019

Haven't tried Spotify again tbh

[trail slate]

idk if yall peeped it, but Tampa and and that StPete rent prices are getting out of hand for what you get.

[livid yew]

How much?

[west egret]

hello 😂

[sage sluice]

you THINK you did

theyve gotten in your head techie

wake up

[livid yew]

A lot of you were freshman back then

Tbh. I don't think they even pay good

Not that I really care about the SWE pay. Here for passion

[foggy perch]

because of us

[lone rapids]

waiting for my interviewer to show up

already being 4 more minutes than scheduled

pain

[native lantern]

How long after palantir VO do people hear back

[robust kettle]

It's a PITA

[whole roost]

[robust kettle]

I did some reading about it after taking it, there's like a full subreddit for epic systems and all that

but ya it wasn't particularly fun

[fossil jewel]

i interviewed in 2021

[robust kettle]

4 leetcode mediums ish, in a basic text editor

[fossil jewel]

rejected tho

[robust kettle]

and then a cognitive-like test, a made-up programming language test, there's a lot

[whole roost]

damn that's crazy

Thanks for the heads up

[robust kettle]

i took the OA then did the phone, got rejected probably from the OA? Idk what they even want for the OA programming problems tbh

perfect syntax? comments? a good idea?

when you can't run anything or test anything, who knows lol

[whole roost]

ya that doesn't sound fun lol

I've never even done LC, too swamped with school. Gonna start during winter break

[teal jackal]

spotify hires a few interns(very low headcount) every year

[whole roost]

So no way I can do 4 mediums

[teal jackal]

other than that spotify exclusively hires industry hires

I had a spotify interview once but declined after phone for amazon

guess how amazon turned out for me

[whole roost]

bruh why would you decline if you don't have an offer

[sage sluice]

yeah i was just joking cuz of how rare and elusive they are

[teal jackal]

no, i got amazon offer by then

but then i didnt get return offer

[whole roost]

ooh kk

sadge

[teal jackal]

Spotify seems like a small company

pretty strategic with only hiring industry hires

one of my family friends is a SWE at spotify

[fossil jewel]

yeah

i know a girl in a prev class went from intern (interviewed for the same i did) and is now FT

i mean hiring strategic means you dont end up like all the other companies

[teal jackal]

spotify hires by role

[fossil jewel]

yep

in the future i will apply with more exp

[teal jackal]

ill ask my family friend for referral

next time

i might throw my hat in the ring for industry hire roles with no YoE requirement

anyways

[flat osprey]

Anybody here got an offer from factset or know anything ab factset in the NYC area?

[uncut umbra]

wisdom of crowds moment: palantir or stubhub?

I value palantir for the stability, the interesting work and the benefits.
I value stubhub for the higher tc and higher guarantee that I'll be working with industry tools.

palantir tc 260k fy, 200k recurring and stubhub tc 275k fy, 260k recurring.

(leaning palantir)

[gray dagger]

Interviews are getting harder pfft

I got rejected from tusimple for not being able to come up with an NlogN solution for longest increasing subsequence
