2023_grads

[fervent fern]

my original plan was to do a master’s if I don’t get the h1b after 3 attempts

but it seems like I won’t get to use those 3 attempts lmao

[green pendant]

yes in those cases it's worth it

ofc it is a LOT of work

masters + TA is a different ball game altogether

[wheat seal]

Hm?

They do ? Is that just for new grad?

That’s not true actually I think

Check out this job at Palantir Technologies: Software Engineer, New Grad

https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3369821406

Read this post

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah I don’t think it’s required, maybe fdse

[tacit grove]

Palantir doesn't sponsor???

[open plank]

they do, unless they got me to HM round just to reject for lulz

[teal jackal]

Bourbon street in new Orleans sucks

So crowded

Disgusting

Ass

[teal jackal]

Bourbon street in new Orleans is a nightmare for people with sensory disorders

They need people to help them commit human rights abuses

The human rights abuses aren't gonna commit themselves

But also the hiring bar for palantir is really high and there's a lot of weedout

[split plaza]

They’re betting on

1. a recession
2. companies seeking out Palantir’s services to cope

[gloomy terrace]

has anyone got an interview from palantir who's not a us citizen

[open plank]

me

[eternal hatch]

Any international students got a remote gig?

[gloomy terrace]

damn i fell off

they dont want me 😭

[fervent fern]

i mean if it’s actually “on site” i’d expect to go to space

but idk

[timber rock]

there's defo someone in here who's got an offer i remember seeing them talk about it

[wheat seal]

Palantir gets large amount of funding from govt

I wonder what companies use Palantir

[pure mauve]

Sys design, some weird video lc problem, and behavioral and maybe you have to give a presentation. Basically everything interviewer dependent. Can give you anything

[lyric cosmos]

what do those "X" mean?

[small mountain]

if the question is present in other popular question lists then there is an X in the corresponding box

[lyric cosmos]

I see, I was thinking like to mark which are solved

[prime palm]

I just want to say

I accomplished my goal

I went through years of recruiting and even new grad recruiting without learning dynamic programming

I still don't know how to do DP

Thank u

[gloomy terrace]

Ur a god though

Also idk dp

[nocturne oriole]

On god not that important imo

Well maybe some tough quants ask them but idk a lot about them

But i did a lot of faang level interviews and nobody asked. Some people this year got dp at google though

Dp is so fucked; there is so much room to mess it up in an interview

[timber rock]

only got dp once and that was at bb

[nocturne oriole]

Idk, i never interviewed at quants lol

[modest night]

wanted to try a quant intervirw but never get passed resume screening stage😅

[wheat seal]

I think if you can do the dp from blind 75 (that difficulty is as far as I’d go with dp) ur good

Like u can do like 20-30 dp problems

But I agree like a brand new dp problem would be rough

[prime palm]

I think it's my goal to never properly learn DP lol

[wheat seal]

In an interview, it’s just who knew the answer beforehand

At that point

[unique swan]

lol I just grinded a lot of DP and no one asked me that

[wheat seal]

Same lol

I did a lot of recursion in general tho

[unique swan]

kinda sad as DP is kinda my thing now once you understand it is pretty cool

[wheat seal]

Most of my problems solved were recursion

[unique swan]

yeah converting to bottom up is a pain I often just stop at top down unless I got TLE

[wheat seal]

Yea all I think about is if it’s two dimensional or 1 dimensional cache. Identify similar Recurrence relation I’ve seen in past and that’s it really

Yea top down for me as well

I need to do leetcode again tho

Last time I touched it was feb

Always good to be prepared with this market

[tardy geode]

i have like 2 weeks to grind , how should i start

?

[pure mauve]

bruh bar to get offer these days is insane, not only is getting optimal fast, but you gotta do it fast cuz theres prolly follow ups too

[fossil jewel]

finally submitted my capstone

prof wanted source file and the zip was too big, tried to send it and uh my comp did this

[kindred shuttle]

rip someone sent me a dm but i hit ignore on accident, if that was you pls reply

[fossil jewel]

fyi i only got 16 gigs of ram

[unique swan]

u got interview ?

[teal jackal]

My dad was very heated when I told him about modern day CS majors

My dad did the equivalent of "And all they know is leetcode, $180k total comp expectations, eat hot chip, twerk, charge they phone"

[quasi jackal]

Twerk

[green pendant]

Twerk

[weary flax]

Twerk

[livid yew]

Dumbass professor

Just use Git

Ffs these professors are idiotic

[modest night]

he’d be surprised by how many avg cs majors dont know how to leetcode and how many of them dont even know how to write a simple script in python

[fossil jewel]

bc code theft

[livid yew]

Make it private repo dummy

[fossil jewel]

but he wants the code

[modest night]

its only in this server and some subreddits that have like leetcode knowledgable ppl

[fossil jewel]

i just uploaded on google drive and sent the submission with report, code and some other stuff

[livid yew]

So you share the repo with his email

So you don't know GH

[fossil jewel]

nah he never asked about repo

[tawdry skiff]

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CmPtgRmjjSm

[fossil jewel]

he actually wants the source code with other shit

like we had to make a demo video

last minute i was gonna do that and just send the repo with those files but it would fail on pushing the changes bc the file size is beeg

[quasi jackal]

cheesy chocolate huh

[modest night]

yeo is there any data visualization for the 2023_grad_process channel?

[teal jackal]

[slim mortar]

anyone here feels companies are still interviewing but delaying offers?

ton of my friends going through this

[surreal shuttle]

The 1 offer I got was amazon and they moved my start date to July. So I am jobless for 6 more months

[split plaza]

[pastel bane]

it is disastrous for international students

[split plaza]

What are these companies

[slim mortar]

some robotics + some e-commerce startups

[split plaza]

Seeing all these recent rejects in process channel

[fossil jewel]

[outer radish]

[nocturne oriole]

Mid July for quant roles

Mid Aug for all else

[leaden wind]

Oh so early? 😱 how do you Interview when you are interning the same summer?

[nocturne oriole]

Usually it lines up so ur actual interviews are mid Aug

And if it’s same time as job just block out time lol

Nobody gonna notice

[leaden wind]

Ok ok! 👍🏽

[fossil jewel]

i wish i'd applied to bbg as soon as they opened which i think was like june

[split plaza]

applied 7/26 still nothing lol

[marsh sand]

Where’s the best burger in the US

[leaden wind]

Do you already include your summer 2023 internship when applying for grad roles 2024? Because I have a quite good Quant shop for summer 2023 but will only know what I will be doing in detail early July 🥲

[fossil jewel]

for east coast chains shake shack is nice

[nocturne oriole]

Hard to answer cuz local spots are almost always better lol

[marsh sand]

This is actually so true

[nocturne oriole]

And also adjusting for price matters. Like i personally enjoy 5 guys but too pricey

[marsh sand]

Local >>>>>> franchise

[fossil jewel]

also depends on how you like your burgers

like 5 guys just makes me feel drowsy

[nocturne oriole]

Do u get a shake

The fries are greasy too maybe that’s why

[fossil jewel]

fries not always

just borg

[nocturne oriole]

[fossil jewel]

there's also burgerfi which has a few locations in the US, bit pricey but i really like it

[marsh sand]

Im ordering burger now lmao i dont know why i even asked im based in London

They have 5 guys here too!

Is bacon shake really a thing at five guys

[nocturne oriole]

Oh wait ur in london im sure u can find somethin!!

I was just there

[timber rock]

5 guys is ok but the price is mad

[nocturne oriole]

London goated for food lol

[marsh sand]

Y u no meet me

Lmaooo jkjk

[fossil jewel]

i saw 5 guys in paris too and i was like

[nocturne oriole]

Went to a couple spots like spanish food and indian

[marsh sand]

Oh wait they have beast burger here

Anyone tried?

[nocturne oriole]

[marsh sand]

Indian food is 🔥 here

[fossil jewel]

[nocturne oriole]

There are a few things worth planning in advance

[marsh sand]

Make sure u dont go to the touristy spots lmaoo it’ll be CROWDED over the holiday

[fossil jewel]

oh yeah im not going anytime soon

in the future perhaps

one trip for 2022 is enough for now

didnt mind the crowds in paris for the touristy areas

[teal jackal]

Yo

[split plaza]

Hi

[uneven fulcrum]

When asked to upload all I-20s, should I also upload the old I-20 I got before deferring my admission?

[fallen fox]

why not

[uneven fulcrum]

The program start date and end date are different

And I didn't use that I-20 to get my visa and enter US

[fallen fox]

all i20s generally mean your current i20 + previous extensions but in this case

its weird but your old i20 has no value

[uneven fulcrum]

Yeah, my previous I-20 has the same sevis id too

[uneven fulcrum]

Yeah but it still could be on record

[tawdry skiff]

https://youtu.be/JlLUp8I7qOo

[fallen fox]

background check?

[foggy perch]

I imagine quality varies by location since it's random local restaurants making the food

[uneven fulcrum]

This is regarding H1B eligibility questionnair

[foggy perch]

eh I feel like chain restaurants have more of a standardized process

since they have the exact same process to teach employees

[teal jackal]

True I agree

[foggy perch]

is it confirmed beast burger sends them all the ingredients?

I thought that restaurants just use whatever they have on hand

to make them

[quartz vale]

Rejected by palantir

They say the headcount for new grad has all been filled

[teal jackal]

How much does JP play for full time in Bay Area?

[peak pike]

If I am graduating in june 2023, should I be looking and shelling out applications?

[meager latch]

Should’ve been doing that in August or September. You should be applying ASAP

A lot of tech companies are done hiring

[peak pike]

well shoot

I guess it times to start shelling out apps

[meager latch]

You should probably focus on smaller, local companies

[peak pike]

Yeah I will do that.

Are CVs really that important?, should I just create a base one I use for all companies?

[frosty gale]

You mean resume right

yes they're important

[peak pike]

No I mean a cover letter, some apps require them or atleast recommend you have one

I ofc have a resume

[meager latch]

Don’t waste your time writing cover letters

[meager latch]

CV == resume

[peak pike]

Got it

I am a bit worried about my lack of experience

[frosty gale]

oh

[peak pike]

and I don't have a tonnn of projects to back that up

[frosty gale]

yeah cover letters are useless

don't bother

[teal jackal]

Start deadass today

You're already late man

hi

[modest night]

to those that negotiated insane BB NG offers did they increase the base for you or like the sign on and is the insane tc you got at signing your recurring?

@young peak ^

[late kestrel]

this year they dont budge base hardly at all if at all. most negoed offers are the same 155k base but 30k signing and 30k target bonus

[peak pike]

If I'm not able to find any good info online about a companies salaries, whats the best way to answer 'What are your annualized total compensation expectations?'

[coarse current]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyn0CKPuPlA&t=1565s&ab_channel=Exponent

maybe this video can help

[normal palm]

Say N/A and if the recruiter asks why u said that say « u wanted to know more about the role »

[pine topaz]

best video ive ever seen tbh

[chilly burrow]

The guy on the right looks like hes begging

And the guy on da left ain't having it, lol

[swift ridge]

Anyone know what finance companies are still hiring for swe?

[rain patio]

@nocturne oriole if i made a tiktok for tech people would u follow

[coarse current]

[cloud yacht]

[teal jackal]

Should I ask my recruiter what the tech stack for the team I'm matched with is

Before my interview

[plush lily]

If you care

[teal jackal]

I think I'm gonna since I know there's a non zero chance they're gonna ask me OOD or trivia

[flat roost]

Will this be a good time to start applying for NG for start in January 2024?

[teal jackal]

Too soon since you're technically c/o24 but I know someone applied for 2022 grad roles as a December 2022 grad and got an offer

But keep your guard out

It’s normal

[teal jackal]

Tbh I haven't made new friends since sophomore year

I'm sad to leave college so soon

It's gonna be tough making friends on my own

I can't depend on my college group forever

Our career building comes first

[frosty gale]

I met my wife in Senior year so I guess I walked away with smth 😙

[teal jackal]

I'm single rn with no dating prospects

It feels like it gets tougher into adulthood

I guess maybe it's just me being scared of a new life environment

[peak pike]

I feel the same way

Journalism

I did econ my first bacc and I regret it too

[fossil jewel]

i have to do my econ project due tonight

and econ is quite annoying

[frosty gale]

econ kinda useless tbh

too theoretical

[sage skiff]

Depends on the college

My econ major is more applied

[frosty gale]

Yeah

I enjoyed econometrics though

[sage skiff]

Ah I see. We only had economics 😭 I was able to learn R, matlab, and ML in my classes

[frosty gale]

yeah econometrics was probably the only applied course we had

the rest was just all theory

[sage skiff]

Woah 💀 fr ?

[frosty gale]

should've switched to CS in my sophomore year but oh well

now I'm doing a CS post bacc and spending more money

[sage skiff]

For me it was mostly applied. The only theory class I had was macroeconomics, microeconomics, intro to economics, and game theory

I would’ve just stuck to economics and just picked up the programming skills on the side. I’ve seen a lot of non CS majors do that

[frosty gale]

is your school's econ under the business program or arts & science

[sage skiff]

Arts & sciences

[frosty gale]

ok

so mine was just trash then

lol

I heard business school econ programs are more applied

[sage skiff]

I remember 2 years ago my friend who goes to a different college was talking about her experience in her macroeconomics class. I was so shocked to learn there wasn’t any calculus involved

It was mostly theory + reading

For her

[frosty gale]

I mean we did calc

but that's about it

[sage skiff]

Ah I see. Idk tbh💀 depends on the program ig. A lot of the professors did assignments that involved some form of analytics. In econometrics we used R for homework’s. Our exams involved some applied stuff and the rest was proofs (I heard that’s not a thing anywhere else and this professor just wanted to do that)

For my electives I leaned more into applied stuff like data analytics, machine learning, data science, etc

[frosty gale]

yeah, we used R as well. I really liked econometrics but my peers hated it

[sage skiff]

And some stuff in finance (corporate and public)

[frosty gale]

man I would've had fun in your program

my electives were political economy and labor economy 💀

boring af

both were just a repeat of game theory but in politics and labor market

[sage skiff]

We had those as electives 💀 you could choose to take that or not but as far as I know from my friend who took labor economy they also had to use R anyways

R or python

I think most if not all courses involved some kind of analytics or coding. I liked my data analysis class since we were able to do projects in R or SAS

[frosty gale]

Nice. I guess calc1&2, stat, and econometrics were the three most helpful classes since they helped me pass the actuarial exams for my job right now.

[sage skiff]

You’re doing actuary?💀💀 man I know it pays good but I heard it’s boring af😭

[frosty gale]

Yes. The reason why I’m changing career 💀

well my swe internship starts next month so my actuarial career is retiring soon

[livid yew]

stop using 💀 its too zoomer

[timber rock]

[sage skiff]

I can’t help it. I’ve been Indoctrinated

[livid yew]

[sage skiff]

I am a zoomer tho

[livid yew]

So am I

just a pre-2000 zoomer

[frosty gale]

💀 💀

what's the most millennial emoji

I'm 24 am I a zoomer

[meager latch]

Yes

[frosty gale]

yes

thank you

[sage skiff]

I’m 21💀

24 is still gen z

Millennials are in their 30s or 40s I think

The youngest millennial is 26

[livid yew]

I prob associate more with millennial

[teal jackal]

My 1997 sister calls it a gray area

My sister identifies as millennial

[livid yew]

98 here

[teal jackal]

Tbh the zoomers from 2003+ aren't the same

Even as a 2001 bum ass, I feel the disconnect even though it's just a 2 year gap

[crystal delta]

is sofi remote flexible

[sage skiff]

I agree ngl

Too much happens within a year nowadays

I genuinely can’t relate to people 2 to 3 years younger than me bc of that

[timber rock]

Definitely a big disconnect between us zoomers who grew up without Internet being a huge part of our lives and today's zoomers lol

[frosty gale]

Yeah Im a flip phone zoomer too

Can’t connect with privileged mfs who had iPhone for their first phone

[teal jackal]

I'm a windows XP zoomer

[frosty gale]

I had Windows 2000 💀

[teal jackal]

I wonder if that mini-generational gap will close once we're all adults in our 30s

[frosty gale]

yeah we'll be all same once 16 year olds start driving flying cars and shit

[sage skiff]

I just grew up poor 💀

I didn’t get a laptop until end of HS when I was going into college 💀

But I do see kids with all kinds of devices at like literally 2 and already know how to use it

ASK THEM HOW YOU WOULD TAKE A PICTURE and they’ll take a picture as if they would on an iPhone

[lament basin]

This week better be a good week

[frosty gale]

[teal jackal]

First commenter damn

The TCs are kinda low tbh

But it really isn't like I'll be making a lot of TC either

[sonic coral]

@livid yew

[lyric cosmos]

what does this question means guys?

Do you currently hold, or require a work permit, resident visa or employment pass to work in the country of this posted position?

is it like, are you authorized to work in the posted position location?

[fallen fox]

it means do you need sponsorship to work in the country?

[livid yew]

why was I pinged

[lyric cosmos]

I see

Okay

[sonic coral]

This low tc thing

[livid yew]

oh I did not know about TC higher than 100k when I graduated in 2020

[fallen fox]

if you're f1, you should say YES

[livid yew]

i.e. all my advisers said that was rare

but yeah I guess location makes a difference

like 80K in MN or WI is plenty

[livid yew]

but yeah @teal jackal the high TC is still pretty uncommon tbh

[teal jackal]

I'm just bubbled

[livid yew]

[teal jackal]

And self entitled because I am a former Amazon intern

I'll never give up on chasing TC

[livid yew]

oh see when I joined this discord like in Feb, I saw the high TC

and was like meh, not for me

[teal jackal]

Tbh big tech crashing right as I was meant to graduate has left me bitter, and has made me more materialistic and prestige chasing than ever

But I'm gonna convert resentment into motivation

[outer radish]

LMAO

this a mood fr

as soon as that first position hits im getting paid to do LC and im fucking dipping within the year

fuck a recession gimme that 1 YOE

[teal jackal]

So true man

[livid yew]

you are a job jumper?

I wanna chill at a place for like 2yrs

[outer radish]

naw fam a job leaper

yeah if they're paying out like 200k usd that'd be worth

[livid yew]

also prestige? prestige to who? your parents?

[outer radish]

aii idk bout the prestige i just want the bag

[livid yew]

*money

I hate the term bag

[teal jackal]

Yeah tbh I'm not planning on stopping applying to places

Even after I get an offer

[livid yew]

I would take a break over holiday tho

[teal jackal]

Never too late to make up for the deck I was dealt

[outer radish]

unfortunately i've got interviews scheduled for first week after the new year

[livid yew]

I accepted my below average ability and sub-par appearance when I was 12 years old, so I have come to terms already lmao

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah I did the same

[livid yew]

https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/

[jaunty basalt]

Just space it out

[livid yew]

I go here every couple days

peep the apps

[outer radish]

yeah thats the plan

[livid yew]

bruh what, never seen these before

[jaunty basalt]

Like it’s pretty op

Cuz u don’t have to think about school

[outer radish]

yeah the balancing act was rough this sem so i definitely feel that

[jaunty basalt]

Unless u got those professors that are like the semester ends when grades are due

[meager latch]

@teal jackal where you going for full time?

[outer radish]

isnt that all profs?

[livid yew]

damn finals prob just ended on Friday

[timber rock]

[outer radish]

[livid yew]

[jaunty basalt]

For my school grades are due Monday after New Years

[livid yew]

I remember I turned in an assignment on xmas eve

[timber rock]

one of my classes gave us projects to do over christmas worth 50% of our grade 😢

[jaunty basalt]

It’s not every professor, they just assign early

But that winter break thing is just to get a C

[iron lily]

Y’all reckon there will be many new grad postings in January?

The last couple of weeks have been quite dry

[outer radish]

damn wtf, thats kinda whack to leave students hanging like that

[jaunty basalt]

Yeah but it’s not like u can’t submit before

[outer radish]

thats wild i have literally never heard of this

[jaunty basalt]

Grades can come out before

[outer radish]

yeah

[livid yew]

makes sense with the holidays

[jaunty basalt]

It’s just the prof that roll dice to determine your grade

[livid yew]

Cs get degrees, dont forget

[fallen fox]

graduated last friday with a 2.6

[livid yew]

[jaunty basalt]

That means u got some Bs and As

[teal jackal]

Nowhere as of rn

[livid yew]

[livid yew]

[west pagoda]

as faang no return offer person this year due to business issues, im resentful that there's ppl who Ik are less capable/hardworking than I am, but are in cushy high paid jobs bc they got out last year...and that makes me p resentful, but also super motivated as well

We shall work hard and succeed

[sonic sand]

Did anyone got interview call from TikTok? My status is still — ‘written test’ 😩

[whole berry]

when did you do it

[torpid birch]

Bro I can't believe they're making a Hollywood adaptation of erb

[elder oasis]

i accepted an entry level applications engineering role. should i try to transfer roles within the company after a year or keep trying for software engineering roles at dif companies?

[livid yew]

Universal Studios, hey I know some people who work there

[sonic coral]

Bro who cares about universal it’s the new Nolan movie

[winter thistle]

had bbg interview

guy was so rude

bruh

reject 100%

[timber rock]

how do i answer when a company asks me to detail what i don't like about the company and the role

lol

[winter thistle]

The same company asks you about what you don't like about that same company?

Or a different company?

they didn't send me a hackerrank link so I had to figure it out during the interview time with the interviewer which took up the first 10 mins

and he said he wanted to finish right at at the 45 min mark

😬😬

First bbg interviewer was very nice

He showed up 8 mins late

but let me have 50+ minutes

it's whatever

we move on

[timber rock]

yeah same company

in the OA

[winter thistle]

lmao

Resume reject

I have series A startup, big n, and faang Internships

that's why I changed my name to

Duolingo yield protection

yeah

I think it's because of my school

name

That's it

but it's fine

fuck bbg

the other companies I'm interviewing with

Are very nice and respectful

and better names 👀👀👀

[tardy geode]

bro bbg is like a lottery at every stage SMH

[winter thistle]

Hell yeah

[frosty gale]

This is pretty normal where I came from

[foggy perch]

I would've thought it's way lower

[tawdry skiff]

the hope is that you stay with parents to save for a house

[frosty gale]

Boomers gotta spit some out if they bought Apple @ $0.50/share and houses at $50K

[foggy perch]

true

[frosty gale]

We’ll do the same for the next gen

Take responsibility

[foggy perch]

tbh I think I'm more willing to pay to live alone than live with parents because you only live life once

so might as well live to the peak

[tawdry skiff]

as in, expect to receive credit lol, that's not how things work

[whole roost]

facts man, it's a privilege to be able to live with parents

this is such an outdated meme lol

[foggy perch]

tf is this post suposed to be

I'm so confused

was this person expecting like a huge payout

as an intern who did very well at their intern project

[tawdry skiff]

Who said I'm laughing

[whole roost]

I think a bad attempt at "cancelling" Spotify? like why else mention that she's a black female. Fishing for outrage basically

[foggy perch]

idk

there's probably an argument corporations need to pay workers more for stuff

but this post just feels weirdly entitled

idk

[tawdry skiff]

I will say, some people pay with their mental well-being when living with parents

I don't think so

[foggy perch]

but also I think this post just feels scuffed when this person is arguing like they were specially mistreated

when literally all interns would just get like

a return offer for this

at best

[tawdry skiff]

So I understand when people decide to spend money living on their own

[foggy perch]

I just value the peak freedom of living alone without staying with parents

obviously the real reason for the dwindling births in asia

i feel like clout-wise google is a big deal in most cultures I imagine

because everyone knows google

🤷 ig it's implying they weren't extra credited/rewarded for this project due to their race

[meager latch]

True

[nocturne oriole]

I pay for it by being in this server with weirdos

[nocturne oriole]

My thoughts in other channel

Tldr it’s complicated, dont judge her, these are real issues, but as a URM, please choose your battles wisely

[foggy perch]

true

[tawdry skiff]

I'm sworry

[chilly burrow]

@nocturne oriole

Ham wasn't entirely surprised that her idea was adopted wholesale without so much as a thank you note. "This was not my first corporate position, so I know that's not really the practice," she says. "Because the reality is, at the end of the day, they legally have the right to. That's the reason it's such an issue."

So she understands that she doesn't legally deserve credit

But she wasn't even paid a salary

They just gave her a stipend...

[timber rock]

am i illiterate or what, what did she actually do? suggest to add a share button?

[chilly burrow]

Before it was just a seperate microsite

She pitched it to be embedded into the app

[timber rock]

oh ok

[chilly burrow]

With interactivity and better sharing for socials

[foggy perch]

isn't a stipend how interns are normally paid?

[chilly burrow]

She made UI/UX mockups and everything

[foggy perch]

or does stipend imply a much smaller payout

[nocturne oriole]

She was a design intern and did put in actual work, like real artifacts etc i think

[chilly burrow]

I've always been paid salary

[nocturne oriole]

Feel like i saw a figma at least and prob plenty of internal stuff

[foggy perch]

huh

idk if it makes a difference

[chilly burrow]

I think it brings up an interesting conversation

[foggy perch]

I assumed stipend = salary

[nocturne oriole]

Honestly this is all great context the OP left out, going back to what i clarified tbh that this post is just so weird lol

If it was me i woulda asked this homie to delete

[chilly burrow]

Also idt she was extended a return but idk for sure

[foggy perch]

damn if they didnt even get a return they got fucked

[nocturne oriole]

Instead of assuming all this malice from company, u can assume negligence i guess or email HR, or say u did that after the fact

[whole roost]

Yeah without that context it basically implies that she was discriminated against based on her race/sex

[nocturne oriole]

Spotify does a lot for DEI already

Like trust me on this one

[foggy perch]

linkedin truly do be the most toxic social media

[whole roost]

blind is in your face toxic

linkedin is sugarcoated toxicity

[whole roost]

although ive seen quite a few supportive threads on blind

[chilly burrow]

It's a rare sight tho

[whole roost]

TC?

lol jk

[foggy perch]

i wonder how toxic 1point3acres is

can't read chinese well enough to understand it

[chilly burrow]

-$100k (reverse financed internship)

[robust canopy]

Has anyone had a TikTok behavioral round recently?

[primal pike]

failed discrete math

[west pagoda]

This is after second round I assume?

Those moments when the interviewer is about to post the question into the codeshare are so nerve wracking

Those couple of seconds determining entire career trajectories

[robust canopy]

Yes, how were the questions

[west pagoda]

Sorry I’m only on second round so far

[sonic sand]

I don t remember . I got the assessment on 3rd Oct

[whole berry]

All good bro, it’s the right of passage for cs ppl

[whole berry]

Oh lol

Ya I never got rejected

And I never been invited to next steps

So it’s basically a ghost reject

[frosty gale]

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/12/19/politics/george-santos-resume/index.html

Dont lie on your resume boys

[nocturne seal]

I got an offer with 2 projects with the exact same description in my resume

Was a mistake but still

[frosty gale]

nah that's no big deal

this dude allegedly lied about his entire education & work experience lol

[nocturne seal]

Lolllllll

[unique swan]

should I still do the OA from Golman Sach 🙂

given they are literally just laid off

and going to lay off more soon

[green pendant]

take it as practice but I doubt GS is gonna hire anybody right now

[unique swan]

yeah im thinking the same too

[teal jackal]

Linkedin is total dogshit tbh

I'm surprised that tHat bullshit app actually makes money

[vestal parrot]

has anyone done sprout social's onsite?

[robust kettle]

linkedIn is just an online resume for recruiters to contact you and to DM your network. As that it's not too bad.

[fiery folio]

then anyone take data structures & algorithms with 2 other CS classes and did fine

[viral raptor]

Who is your recruiter? Mine is ghosting me for a week +. Can't even schedule the initial interivew

Harsha?

lmao i've already emailed 3 times in the past week hahaha

rip

[iron lily]

I heard most of the layoffs were not in the technology division?

[restive holly]

has anyone here taken the goldman sachs oa yet still for some reason received a reminder to complete it?

[rancid token]

anyone have any tips for bloomberg ng first round interview?

[tardy geode]

pray that your interviewer shows up .

thats the hardest part of the interview

[elder oasis]

heard from a bloomberg interviewee

• medium/hard lc
• gotta be able to solve mediums
• doesn’t expect hard to be solved, but expected to complete the problem
• talk through everything

[tardy geode]

i have given bb interview

do LC tagged

[elder oasis]

just relaying what i heard

[tardy geode]

i would say , also its very interviewer dependent . some expect you to even do hards and some don't care much about the code . overall its rng tbh

every round is now a lottery 💀

at bb

[elder oasis]

also these are intern interviews i forgot to mention that 😅

[rain patio]

what would be top 3 companies for new grad CS rn outside hft

[frank wedge]

I know 3

[nocturne oriole]

I guess pick a location, go to levels, sort by TC

New grad offers

From past 6mo

And then realize 75% of those are no longer hiring

[outer radish]

[frank wedge]

Just saw this. Yeah

[nocturne oriole]

@chilly burrow just ignore, it’s a joke, i’ll delete later

[rain patio]

Has anyone interviewed with Oracle for new grad (OCI) recently? If so can I dm you some questions

[errant karma]

The guts to aim for the top 3 firms in this climate

[teal jackal]

@tardy geode broooo we're being capped on so hard

[errant karma]

Ok makes sense

[sharp pumice]

Don’t forget, leetcode probs didn’t exist back then too. Imagine prepping without it XD these days I freak out if the site is down lol

[dense cloud]

uni life gets fucked by covid, job gets fucked by recession

[coarse quiver]

problems were easier too

codeforces existed

[coarse quiver]

Did you accept and renege gs?

[timber rock]

Not a big fan of these days where my inbox is nothing but rejections tbh

[errant karma]

Accepted GS they agreed to do my H1B

[teal jackal]

Same bro

[west pagoda]

Hey! Just wondering, how long after second round did you get invited for behavioural?

[fervent drift]

YO

MY FELLOW TECH NERDS

@quasi jackal check dms btw

@pine topaz and you too

[coarse quiver]

Lfgo

So you are set with GS?

[fervent drift]

[cold kernel]

Boomers won't let us own homes and boomers also don't want us to have $300k tc jobs to cope

[teal jackal]

[sage skiff]

They also have courses

[iron lily]

Those are toxic af usually

[distant rampart]

i just got invited to phone interview from veeva.. and the next earliest available date is march

[quasi jackal]

[dry fossil]

Wait wut? I got invite 2 days ago and dec 19-23 were available

[distant rampart]

wtf rly

did they invite 100 ppl this week

[dry fossil]

Who is your recruiter?

[dry fossil]

Maybe, cuz I knew 2 people from my school who also got the invite

[distant rampart]

Hj. Is ur position for masters?

[dry fossil]

Nah undergrad

[distant rampart]

[dry fossil]

Wait my position is in Canada

[echo stratus]

[eternal hatch]

🙏🙏

[echo stratus]

I don't think theyll care :/

I already told one of their eng leaders abt my experience

[steel ember]

I heard Bloomberg is full, idk how true that is tho

[late kestrel]

ppl are still getting offers rn

very few though

[foggy perch]

people have been saying this for ages

more probable outcome is just that bb is being super picky and selective rn

[sage sluice]

anyone know anything about Veeva? culture / tech / wlb etc?

[west egret]

people have been saying this for a month and there are still processes for BB offers lately

[frank wedge]

It’s the same person?

I’d email him saying he’s a POS and be done with it Wtf

[vague furnace]

Hi! Has anyone cleared the new grad Bloomberg interview? Does anyone know what the process is like? How many rounds of behavioral/technical.

[green pendant]

hey can i ask when you applied?

[distant rampart]

Oh like october lol

[green pendant]

oh damn they really are taking their sweet time to get back huh

[green pendant]

it's not true, people got offers this week and invites to phone screens this week as well

love the username btw

[foggy perch]

thanks

I make sure to fight for the right cause

[timber rock]

people have literally been saying bb is closed ever since I first joined and probably earlier

yet they're still interviewing and giving offers lol

[vague furnace]

When did you join?

[timber rock]

September

[fossil jewel]

my recruiter said BBG is done hiring

[timber rock]

I miss him

[fossil jewel]

a legend

no one knew if he was serious about only wanting 300k or bust

[timber rock]

Wonder how many people didnt apply or withdrew cause of him

[fossil jewel]

[west egret]

my recruiter says there’s no free food at Bloomberg

[west egret]

Pretty sure they ended up going with C1 offer. Not 300k but C1 is good starting.

[teal jackal]

gedeon left after accepting c1

the reality of the job market sucking is depressing

im happy for gedeon that they mentally graduated and moved on in life

god me next please

[fossil jewel]

good on him

c1 is pretty good

300k seems like a rare sight for a new grad lets be real

[teal jackal]

300k was a massive stretch even when the going was good

[meager latch]

Pretty much only HFT offers this

[west egret]

@teal jackal you done now?

[teal jackal]

Nah still got one final interview left

I just pray they can do my final and make a decision before January 6th

[west egret]

But you technically got an offer though right?

[teal jackal]

My final is in 2023

Verbal offer

[west egret]

Basically same as an offer letter tbh

[meager latch]

Not in this economy

[west egret]

I mean let me put it this way. How does an offer letter provide any more safety than a verbal offer with all these rescinds lately?

Even if you sign an offer letter, it doesn’t mean anything and the company can back out at any time just like you can. It’s at will employment that hasn’t even begun yet.

[meager latch]

Fair point

[fossil jewel]

oh hive!

early congrats and gl on the upcoming final interview

[green pendant]

wait lmao are they even allowed to do that

anyone interviewed with bloomberg on the week of 12/12 and heard back?

[west egret]

It’s a meme. Few months back, a guy would say everyday that “my recruiter said [company name] is done”.

[teal jackal]

Man gedeon

Glad they're in a better place now

[vague furnace]

Weird, I just had a recruiter reach out to me this week and she’s scheduling my interviews soon. BUT I will say she sent me a private link and it’s “diversity” hiring looooool

Oh lmaoooo I just realized y’all saying [company] is done hiring is a meme

[timber rock]

well, at least they're honest

[vague furnace]

Lmao, I said idgaf, w this economy, I’ll be a diversity hire

[teal jackal]

you won't get rich off dignity alone

[tardy snow]

A company speeding up the interview process is a red flag right? My first round was yesterday and they wanted to rush to a final round this Friday.

Idk what I should do lol

[crystal delta]

the earlier you can do it the better

[teal jackal]

Nah it's not that big of a deal

[green pendant]

that's not a bad thing. But damn what company is interviewing 2 days before christmas

[tardy snow]

Oracle

[unique ice]

or u gotta get permission from manager

[gloomy terrace]

Affirm hiring freeze yay

Won’t hear back until Jan

[livid yew]

welcome to the standard holiday freeze dude

a lot of people are off work the next 2 weeks

[gloomy terrace]

They froze the position indefinitely

[livid yew]

Oh
