echo stratus
#

I tried contacting my old palantir recruiter by she ghosted me

#

#

teal jackal
#

job security in canada beats nothing

echo stratus
#

also I need yoe

livid yew
#

My advice, start the job, get some experience, then start looking again

teal jackal
#

I'm happy that u can at least be employed soon

livid yew
#

Cause then you have real world stuff to talk about

echo stratus
#

I graduated in april and but have 0 yoe

teal jackal
#

congrats man

#

did u do prior internships

echo stratus
#

yes 4

livid yew
#

I usually consider internships as .5-1YOE

#

And recruiters can suck a cock if they don't agree

echo stratus
livid yew
#

Where at Amazon?

teal jackal
echo stratus
teal jackal
#

its kinda why new grads in tech cant apply to industry hire roles and can basically only apply to new grad roles

echo stratus
teal jackal
#

youre competing against people with "real" yoe as an industry hire

echo stratus
livid yew
#

Nice

teal jackal
#

my dad toldd me that new grad mass hiring is a scam and i rebutted him with "well where tf else do i apply"

livid yew
#

I guess my internships treated me as a "SWE1" instead of intern. Like I pushed to prod and stuff and did some small sys design during internships

echo stratus
#

but if u dont secure a new grad job the year u graduate, you wont qualify for a lot of the later new grad jobs

livid yew
#

Yep

teal jackal
#

you fall into the dreaded catch 22

echo stratus
#

for example I dont qualify for a lot of 2023 new grad jobs

#

so wtf is a person in my situation supposed to apply to lmao

teal jackal
#

too "experienced" for new grad, not experienced for the jobs they say you should be applying to

echo stratus
#

too late for new grad roles, not enough experience for other roles

You're not worthless, it's just really competitive right now. If you're not sure about your interview behaviorals/performance, I would say just do mock interviews with friends or on something like PRAMP and get feedback.

teal jackal

Use this as motivation to study asap

#

Work hard now

#

An opportunity wasted due to lack of prep is one you'll never get back

#

What’s the TC difference; I’m leaning towards boston dynamics

#

Bloomberg is a lot of legacy and maintenance tech

quartz vale
#

I will go with boston dynamics for sure cause the work seems to be more interesting

#

If I could work on robotics stuff ofc

#

Also Boston dynamics could possibly set you up with a completely different career path than bb. I don't think TC matter that much here at least for me

#

If I got Bd I will accept in a heart beat evil_kermit

#

yeah true

deep wasp
#

I would love to work at Boston dynamics

#

Same as I’d love to work at nasa

#

Working somewhere like that is the end goal for me anyways.

#

Not getting the highest TC

just got done with my phone , i have good hopes that i will be moved to next round prayge

teal jackal

where do u apply too BD

young peak
#

if you like languages like cpp or julia then it's fantastic

#

Sure don't spend your entire life there since career progression ain't the best but it's a great starting point

i mean its not gonna do your job for you but itll save you some time that youd otherwise spend googling and clicking through resources and reading stackoverflow

Oh see but I find browsing Stack overflow to be fun

you have to file taxes every year you make money

west egret
livid yew
late kestrel
#

either way, youll get money back because you always get taxed higher than what you actually made

livid yew
#

Yep

#

I'd rather do extra work and get money back

late kestrel
#

heres the official stance

west egret
#

Yeah then that depends on if taxes were withheld on your paycheck throughout the year.

livid yew
#

Of course it was lmao

#

I had to fill out W4

west egret

Even if it extrapolates to less than the standard deduction for the year?

If your shopping at Walmart you can't afford a trip to Disney world KEKW_RECESSION_EDITION

^ I mean Target is basically the same quality as WM imo

late kestrel

i live in the backyard of a walmart rn sadge

livid yew

Target is definitely higher quality tbh

I shop at target like several times a week KEKW_RECESSION_EDITION

It's the only real option without driving out of the city

A lot of my stuff like TP, paper towels, coffee,etc come on a subscription

Like Amazon just delivers it every uhh 2 months or something

Rejects aren't even worth looking at unless you were in-process(at least an in-person interview) with them

Most blunt interview ever! Visa new grad final. During behaviral, the guy outright told me because I’m not a Java person, he doesn’t see me as a fit for most teams.

I’m truly out of words right now. The guy was 15 minutes late. He’s not the same person on my interview schedule, and he thought this is a tech round. I told him I just did 30 min of tech round, then he starts bombarding my resume…

Not standardized and response times vary wildly

At some point in time you become language agnostic - if you can code in C you can code in Java with a few hours of docs

Everything I see from visa's process is just a mess

Eg any engineer joining Facebook has to use Hacklang which is their own language, no one comes knowing the language they just learn it bc they know how to code in general

@teal jackal the worst youll get is LC medium. It's not that bad at all. Make sure you focus on some soft skills though. I think they value behavioral a lot as well.

#

difference between SQL joins

#

SDLC stuff

I need to brush up on sql

I'm pretty much prepared to fail jpmc

Why can't they just let me be a leetcode monkey tbh

It's assumed you take time away from work/work related things for family time

teal jackal
#

yeah by this point, we're in intersession phase

#

As you prepare for non-faang tier jobs to post

#

just prepare so you can be a juggernaut and curbstomp thsoe interviews

livid yew
#

Just give up on FAANG at this point

#

Like lower your standards, it's ok to not have the biggest cock of all your school friends

teal jackal
#

Long run I do not plan on giving up

#

I accept that I'll have to adapt to this immediate setback

#

but I will catch up and work at the same caliber of companies and pay

#

without being downleveled

#

I will accept that I will not get in as a new grad because of the economic situation

#

but I will not accept this in the long run

#

I have an inflated senses of self-worth and that's okay

I know what I'm capable of if I put my 100% into it

livid yew
#

Oh

#

I was born with a deflated sense of self worth KEKW_RECESSION_EDITION

teal jackal
livid yew
#

Like a deflated balloon

teal jackal
#

this hiring cycle kinda gaslighted me into thinking im dumb and worthless

livid yew
#

Fair enough

teal jackal
#

and then out of a sheer hatred of this recruiting cycle, I realized my self-worth and that I'm being robbed

livid yew
teal jackal
#

and that it isn't really my fault

#

I mean there are a ton of things I could have done better from freshman year onwards

#

but I still believe that I'm a perfectly qualified candidate for tons of jobs that I'm just getting resume rejected for

#

My coping mechanism is

#

The less money I make as a new grad

#

the more expensive car I buy

livid yew
#

Oh see I already had a car from parents during college KEKW_RECESSION_EDITION

teal jackal
#

I'm getting a car as a graduation gift but it's not a special car

#

I want a sports car too

livid yew
#

Oh I just need a car for point A to B

#

Vehicle is a utility to me, just like my smartphone

#

Nothing moren

what they saying

teal jackal
#

Funny story btw:
my parents are the ones telling me it's okay to accept that I was dealt a bad hand and that it's okay to accept 5 figures as a new grad

#

my desire for good TC is solely intrinsic

#

my parents told me just not to worry about it

#

and its okay to settle

#

they think i have plenty of time to land something

livid yew
#

Yep

#

I grew up with that mindset dude

#

I think the TC circle jerk is a good conversation to have, but it's become so tainted

@teal jackal qualtrics is hiring new grads now

For machine learning engineer

teal jackal

do u need prior ML experience

#

Companies: After careful consideration we will not be proceeding with your application.

The careful consideration in question:

wheat seal
teal jackal
#

interesting

#

theyre expanding headcount again

#

Nah I took a look, they do require experience with ML

#

for the new grad role

#

I hope they resume hiring for software eng

#

I think I'm gonna apply to network eng tho

#

honestly qualtrics is really dogshit for when multiple people are editing one survey

wheat seal
#

U should still apply

#

I haven’t actually tried that

teal jackal
#

youre right, 99.99% chance they reject but I think it's worth applying to

#

since applying for it doesnt disqualify or blacklist u from other roles

wheat seal
#

Also pretty safe

#

We have been reducing costs like hella lately

teal jackal
#

I don't think I'd be hired for MLE

#

I have zero ML experience

not within classes either

As an international student, can I accept multiple offers? (don't want to, but the market is shit rn)

Inheritance - A class can extend another class as its parent, and also inherits its fields and function contents(Square vs Rectangle)

Encapsulation - An object of a class can contain internal fields, and the accessibility of fields from outside can be customized(public or private)
This is useful for enforcing specific behavior and properties within the class

Polymorphism - Basically interfaces, multiple types of classes can implement an interface differently(An interface contains a suite of functions that all classes that implement the interface have an interpretation for) (Think Shape -> Rectangle/Triangle/Circle/etc)

Abstraction - Internal information within the object is hidden to the outside, only necessary functions and information needed for operating on this object are visible the outside

#

are any of these definitions wrong

#

Or am I missing anything

marsh sand
#

For OOD right?

Not much you can do in 30 min lol. Just try to relax take a short walk if you can. The best thing you can do for the interview is to make sure you are in the best mental state possible when it starts. You made it this far in the process, so you are smart and competent. Just relax and do your best you got this!

#

Not sure about a guide but I recommend looking up common questiosn (or remebering them from your interviews) and making rehearsed answers

#

And then u can just regurgitate your script for the vast majority of qs. And a lot of answers can be used for multiple qs

#

Yeah you should look up the company's values beforehand

#

Most of the time u can just throw one of the values in there. Doesn't require much changing of your answer unless it's like Amazon with their goofy ass values

So I asked my recruiter what to expect (not that I have any hope left).
