2023_grads

[rain patio]

only beef i have with cmu is their lack of diversity lmfao

[fossil jewel]

still smaller percentage than dudes

[daring gazelle]

Percentage of people studying tech matches though

Ratio wise

[fossil jewel]

[daring gazelle]

If it is 50/50 then it would be real sus

[fossil jewel]

yeah but then the job isnt 50/50

honestly stop blaming affirmative action and just git gud

[daring gazelle]

I am not blaming I am just thinking of ways to use it to my advantage

Whatever it takes

[rain patio]

are u urm?

[foggy perch]

wasn't there a supreme court case recently on affirmative action

did that go anywhere or did it die

[rain patio]

nvm cmu has way better diversity than my alma mater

[fossil jewel]

cmu is like 50/50

[daring gazelle]

If they want SWE to be woman. I AM A WOMAN

Whatever you want

[fossil jewel]

i dont think it would help as much tbh

everyone struggling in this market

[daring gazelle]

Supply and demands ngl

[rain patio]

frr

[gaunt steeple]

yea cmu has good diversity in terms of gender

it's not super diverse in race tho lmao

[rain patio]

About what I'd expect as far as a t20 goes

[fossil jewel]

lots of cracked mf at cmu

[tawdry skiff]

lmaooo CMU is like top 5 CS school - you don’t know anything about the life of a non top school CS grad - some jobs are pretty much completely sealed off

[shut crescent]

doesnt even matter where u go at this point if u cant pass a coding interview ur fucked

[fossil jewel]

i could be wrong but i do think their programs are rigorous enough and have overachievers who are capable of doing the coding interviews

[gaunt steeple]

idk I just want recruiters to not perma ghost me

[nocturne oriole]

Same goes for ugly ppl look who’s talkin

If u not top 5 percentile attractive some stuff sealed off forever

Trust me i am in that stratosphere

Feels good

[teal jackal]

I feel like fidelity has more name recognition

Fidelity is peanuts pay but well respected as a company

[nocturne oriole]

Fidelity is pog wlb take it

U can embezzle 401ks

[teal jackal]

Bro quit the act, im sorry

Affirmative action is a dumb policy, but it's not like women and other targets for affirmative action are given a magical "get out of recession free" card either

[nocturne oriole]

No because demographic info is anonymized on individual level by law

Stay masculine + low T + L + hit gym

[rain patio]

Wait hol up why are there diversity campus recruiters then?

[fossil jewel]

they wanna bring more urms into the industry

[livid yew]

hey us low T dudes feel offended

[nocturne oriole]

Serious answer: cuz DEI efforts and targeting does exist. Even diversity quotas sometimes. And u can source candidates at fairs and stuff

But by law the info on app is anonymized

[rain patio]

Oh that's pretty neat. Thank you for telling me

[teal jackal]

Tbh a lot of recruiters probably have closeted prejudice against Asians

[nocturne oriole]

The only legit argument against dei tomfoolery is the whole untapped filtering scandal but that’s old news + barely makes a diff + unprovable

[fossil jewel]

there are communities for urm's too, they just unlock a network and some can have referral links to companies but the process is still the same

[gaunt steeple]

wait so where are these woman hirers 😭 I'm getting desperate bro

[tardy geode]

is docx or pdf better for ATS? i read docx but still wanted to know

[fossil jewel]

are u in RTC and GWC?

[livid yew]

PDF

i think

[nocturne oriole]

Go to grace hopper

[livid yew]

cause everyone can open PDF

[foggy perch]

grace hopper conference

[livid yew]

you need word to open DocX

[teal jackal]

Enable open to work mode on LinkedIn, join those womens career networks and fairs

[fossil jewel]

grace hopper is so expensive :(

[nocturne oriole]

Some schools have scholarship. Save up tho no cap

[foggy perch]

a lot of universities pay for it from what i've seen

[nocturne oriole]

I am minority male and got jobs at fairs lol

[foggy perch]

ik my uni pays for people to go to grace hoppers and the other one

[livid yew]

Which one of you broke Coinbase

[tardy geode]

bruh my friend went to GHC in FL , got 2 offers by the time she came back 💀

[nocturne oriole]

They are easy scholarships just be a girlboss

Im jk but srsly i think low num of applicants at most schools

[tardy geode]

someone deleted repo before getting laid off

[livid yew]

@fossil jewel I blame you

[fossil jewel]

i dont think i seen anything in my uni for such

[livid yew]

BRO

[teal jackal]

I'm planning on buying a car next year, Hyundai elantra N or Volkswagen GTI
Budget of 35k

[fossil jewel]

i dont believe in crypto

[livid yew]

I got monies in there @tardy geode

crypto gamba

[teal jackal]

When coinbase defeats the whole purpose of crypto you pay the price

[tardy geode]

got FTX OA

[fossil jewel]

FTX is S tier company

[teal jackal]

Imagine centralizing your crypto when the whole point of crypto is that it's decentralized and anonymous

[fossil jewel]

you get to be in the bahamas

[tardy geode]

yea

[gaunt steeple]

wats RTC

[fossil jewel]

rewriting the code

[gaunt steeple]

ik mine had the paid trip to grace hopper and tapia very hard to find

[daring gazelle]

[rain patio]

[livid yew]

@teal jackal basically only keep BTC around for when I feel the urge to play blackjack online lol

[teal jackal]

True

[livid yew]

or in my case HiLo

[foggy perch]

the concept of crypto companies will always be funny

when the whole point of crypto is to be anonymous

[livid yew]

@nocturne oriole

@pulsar mural

[nocturne oriole]

Actually diversity recruiters are there to avoid too many ugly people at a company

[livid yew]

[foggy perch]

send less of them to t10 cs unis then smh

[fossil jewel]

not even t100

[foggy perch]

rip

[nocturne oriole]

Trolling cuz long thai is troll

[foggy perch]

and ask incase it exists

[daring gazelle]

hahahaha

[fossil jewel]

are you hispanic or black?

there is, its called ColorStack

[foggy perch]

i think it's a lot easier to go to tapia as a non-minority than other conferences tbh

[nocturne oriole]

Bro eats one taco and says he connects with latinos

[tawdry skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/smh-mojichat-shaking-my-head-disappointed-gif-18189230

[foggy perch]

best packaged ramen is nongshin

[fossil jewel]

that one is good too

[tawdry skiff]

I wouldn't say that

noodles are too thicc

[daring gazelle]

instant noodle is western poison force upon asians

[west egret]

Sichuan and Korean ppl?

[tawdry skiff]

thin noods are the best

[teal jackal]

So wrong lmal

Sichuan spicy goes hard

[livid yew]

when

[foggy perch]

instant noodles is obviously asia's revenge for the opium epidemic

[rain patio]

chongqing diced chicken

[daring gazelle]

[daring gazelle]

hahahahaha

[foggy perch]

idk about thai

[daring gazelle]

Its over

[tawdry skiff]

[foggy perch]

most thai food I've had is so sweet

[fossil jewel]

in case anyone was curious what the group was called for minority students

[tawdry skiff]

[daring gazelle]

fr glaze sugar

[nocturne oriole]

I mean that’s mexican but im biased and no i meant peak spicy levels

[rain patio]

oh thanks ill check it out

[foggy perch]

like I genuinely despise thai food because of the awful experiences I've had with pad thai and pineapple curry

[nocturne oriole]

Like as in daily cuisine could be spicy af if they want

[foggy perch]

those were awful

[tawdry skiff]

you need to go to east asia

[daring gazelle]

[rain patio]

thai food has sugar in everything

[daring gazelle]

anywhere there dude

[livid yew]

[livid yew]

and?

is sugar a problem

[nocturne oriole]

What is spiciest food east asian nation

[foggy perch]

sichuan/hunan in china maybe?

[daring gazelle]

they are more similar to Panda Express than Asian food

[weary flax]

you're a problem

[fossil jewel]

sichuan food is pretty fire

[teal jackal]

I was looking into GHC equivalents for autists and in typical autist+adhd fashion I was too lazy to apply to any of them

[livid yew]

STOP IT yak

[gaunt steeple]

[weary flax]

i don't know what any of those words mean

[tawdry skiff]

I got fucked in korea

but I wouldn't be surprised if some province in china is the spiciest

[livid yew]

gamba = gambling
stake = online crypto casino

[weary flax]

ahhh lmao why

[livid yew]

crypto is useless

so why not

[weary flax]

yo lowkey i am too

i wanna make bank

any recs?

also I saw that techie

[nocturne oriole]

🤨

[teal jackal]

I think there are neurodivergence career groups

Once again, in typical ADHD fashion I'm too lazy to apply

[livid yew]

I will post the forbidden emote

[weary flax]

wdy want kirb

WHAT DO YOU WANT

[green pendant]

I really don't get why a company will have a position called "junior software engineer" or "software engineer 1" and in the job description ask for 4-6 years of experience

like wtf

even the pay is 80k

[foggy perch]

guess they wanna hire some desperate h1b folk

[weary flax]

damn is this at a brick and mortar tech company lol

[nocturne oriole]

Do it and I time out

[west egret]

Undergrad counts as experience right?

[daring gazelle]

I apply anyway

[daring gazelle]

damn

[livid yew]

you know the one?

[teal jackal]

I have not taken advantage of any of them before, I've just forced myself to get used to cold hard assimilationism

I would never force a kid to go through cold hard assimilation though

[foggy perch]

i'm looking forward to working as a swe for a few years and signing up to lecture hs schools or something to crush their dreams about programming

[teal jackal]

But it's the way I was raised so whatever

[nocturne oriole]

Btw in isolation i dont mind this joking but u have said many troll things on diversity and DEI

Continue and get banned no cap

Not inclusive behavior

If u have real beef with dei on real stuff make substantial arguments and discuss

Your comments are too simplistic

[teal jackal]

He's coping about the bad economy in a toxic way

Honestly just blame Jay Powell

[foggy perch]

i'm down to blame zuck for investing so much in vr

[daring gazelle]

fr

[daring gazelle]

Because I love diversity fr fr

Nothing more to say

[livid yew]

how long of time out?

[green pendant]

glassdoor review of a consultancy company

[green pendant]

+1 fuck zuck I would have taken juniper networks if not for him

juniper ended up giving returns too

smh

[jovial latch]

Im so wary of all the contract n consulting shit I see on job boards

[livid yew]

12-345-****

[jovial latch]

Like I just think it's all a scam

[teal jackal]

113-11-9946

[fossil jewel]

[green pendant]

they are

thing is, typically they prey on the fact that you have no other job

[teal jackal]

I think it's horrible that scammers are exploiting the desperate

[green pendant]

and this is especially worse for international student

they will promise you visa sponsorship, which they typically do

but then no pay for 6-7 months

either no pay or like 500$ of pay

[fossil jewel]

or they'd overwork you

[green pendant]

yeah for sure

[fossil jewel]

rough market for intl students

[green pendant]

these companies have red flag written all over them

[daring gazelle]

Can confirm my block list is 50 numbers just from those company

I have 10 domains blocked on my gmail

At this point is I hear W2 contract It would throw me into a tantrum

[green pendant]

I SWEAR TO GOD

the next sometime someone says "we are an e-verified W2 company" I will throw a brick at them

[livid yew]

why

[green pendant]

scam companies

[livid yew]

oh

[green pendant]

not all but like a good chunk of them

[livid yew]

well W2 is important lol

kinda need that for taxes

[green pendant]

no I know but if that's the definition of your company

that's kinda sus

[livid yew]

oh fair lol

it would take so long to go thru my gmail and find all that, I have 85,000 emails

[jovial latch]

It's gotten to the point where I'm just wary if the recruiter is indian

[daring gazelle]

Hahahha I was afraid mods gonna ban me if I say that

[jovial latch]

im indian i can say that

[fossil jewel]

well if you gotta say that then its sus

[jovial latch]

i was born in fuckin boston lol, but i swear though i do not trust postings where the recruiter is indian

theres a whole pattern

[fossil jewel]

every company thats supposed to pay is a W2 verified company but why gotta say

[green pendant]

+1 the fake accent is so cringe

[tardy geode]

bro you capping or serious?

[jovial latch]

i can say, definitely aint racist to be wary of indian recruiters

no one else pulls this shit

lmao

[green pendant]

lmao I am trying so hard to think of a counterexample

but can't

only ones I can think of are recruiters for legit companies in India

but that's a different thing altogether

[jovial latch]

theres a lot of hard working indians but theres a whole issue with scam recruiters and bs in india

its a problem, the indian govt wont do anything bout it either

[livid yew]

I mean I for sure worked part-time in 8th grade and 9th grade

no W2

was cash

[daring gazelle]

Yes Idk why but maybe just my resume that when pass through an ATS word parse better same with autofill

[fossil jewel]

oh i mean like valid, taxable income

[livid yew]

oh

[fossil jewel]

if comcast tells me "we are a w2 company" like no shit

[livid yew]

yeah then I was a cashier at the same place from 10th grade thru soph year

[daring gazelle]

When you realize most racism is just pattern recognition

[livid yew]

4 years making $10.75/hr

[fossil jewel]

ye under the table cash is diff

[livid yew]

pre-covid was diff

[jovial latch]

all scam recruiters are indian but not all indians are scam recruiters, pretty much like that

[livid yew]

oh btw I heard they are opening some New Grad apps

[jovial latch]

ill say it, it aint racist to be wary of indian recruiters

[fossil jewel]

work at comcast to hear techie using his mechanical keeb

[jovial latch]

are they now

[rain patio]

who is they

[daring gazelle]

I admire you bravery. Me I love inclusivity and diversity so much that I have no opinion on the matter 🙏

[livid yew]

your mom

[jovial latch]

bagh this whole pc shits gotta stop, its literally not racist

[livid yew]

PC Master Race

console is ass

[jovial latch]

its a fact that most scam recruiters are indian, therefore logically if a recruiter is indian, you should be wary and check the posting in detail

[fossil jewel]

console is cheaper

[livid yew]

oh not that pc

[rain patio]

i want a sleeper build

[livid yew]

my crypto gamba made me 1200 last night l

[daring gazelle]

Shush they are listening bro you gotta stop

[jovial latch]

eh im indian i can say these things

[rain patio]

imagine a 3070 in one of these

[jovial latch]

you know i used to think that but the gpu duopoly wasnt utter garbage these days

[fossil jewel]

i found a small factor pre-built that im gonna try getting expensed

[jovial latch]

shit has not been priced right for a couple years now

[livid yew]

nice

[jovial latch]

i feel like its driving more peopel to consoles tbh

[livid yew]

well I have disposable income

[fossil jewel]

and no i cant get the parts expensed

[livid yew]

why not

I prob could

[jovial latch]

and tbh the consoles this time around are actually good

good hardware n all

[daring gazelle]

R9 290 gang going strong with 8gb ram since 2012

[fossil jewel]

reimbursement is specific to actual desktops/laptops and peripherals

[jovial latch]

like fuck i cant imagine buidling a brand new pc with these prices n crap

[livid yew]

our director is very flex about expense lol

[jovial latch]

ik people with old parts that dont want to upgrade cause of how shit the pc market is

[livid yew]

like if its under $50 they dont really care

[jovial latch]

my buddys still using his 1060

[livid yew]

[fossil jewel]

gonna measure out my desk space to see if i can fit a second monitor

[daring gazelle]

By xeon core with chinese motherboard and pair it with rx 540?

Like 400 bucks

Play most games

720p

[livid yew]

my gpu cost so much lmao

[jovial latch]

nice

[livid yew]

gotta last a while

[daring gazelle]

Exactly

[livid yew]

had to use my 2021 bonus

[rain patio]

oh wow u got it then

how difficult was it

[jovial latch]

it all does now, intentionally
a gpu duopoly just means one company can act like utter garbage and the other company only has to act a little les shit

it wont get better

[livid yew]

several discord servers, stalking BB website for weeks

[rain patio]

i remember those times yup hahah

[jovial latch]

i dont regret my ps5 at all, the performance outta that thing for 500 bucks is really fuckin good

[livid yew]

I did it while at the office at old job

[fossil jewel]

im still rocking a ps4

[livid yew]

just had BB open on phone, while "working"

[fossil jewel]

been rocking it since 2017

[jovial latch]

console hardware has always been kinda weak, but the ps5/xsx this time aroudn are actually quite capable imo

mostly cause amd hardware isnt dogshit this time around

[daring gazelle]

Scout like chinese server intel cpu with ECC memory + some 200 dollars AMD gpu. Most NetCafe I saw in 3rd world Asia use it. And fr it is bussin

[fossil jewel]

like yeah pc is more flexible but console is okay for just firing up a game and chilling

[daring gazelle]

No need 2000 dollar pc

[fossil jewel]

just get a pc off wish

ezpz

[jovial latch]

id also hold the belief that theres a benefit to being limited by hardware technology
it forces game devs to be creative and optimize

like you think about a lot of those sony games in the ps4 era, they all had to do creative black magic fuckery to make them look that good

[fossil jewel]

i mean some games are locked to 30fps because of old hardware

[daring gazelle]

Not with all the bloat

[jovial latch]

but with the pc, you can just be unoptimized af and its like 'eh just get better hardware'

[livid yew]

[fossil jewel]

so blue

[livid yew]

oh the rgb was on blue

[fossil jewel]

more rgb means more fps

[livid yew]

[jovial latch]

case in point: gotham knights
which is so cpu limited that it runs fucking horribly

[daring gazelle]

Ngl games where more enjoyable when I was a kid

[jovial latch]

couldnt get 60 fps on a ps5 lmao

[livid yew]

RGB

[daring gazelle]

Making gta V run on a GT 740 laptop gpu

720p

Now games doesn't hit as hard anymore

[livid yew]

my second PC in the closet has a 1060ti lmao

collecting dust

[fossil jewel]

yeah thats the one i was thinking of

[livid yew]

[daring gazelle]

First world problem

[livid yew]

yes

[fossil jewel]

yeah the prebuilt i saw has a 3060 which is more than enough for me

[jovial latch]

the whole story is hilarious, they cancelled last gen versions, and then couldnt even get 60 fps on current gen machines

[livid yew]

I was living in LCOL in 2020 and 2021, and was making 80K so

why not

[jovial latch]

people found out the game is heavily single threaded

[daring gazelle]

Fr

[fossil jewel]

its crazy when you start to understand game bugs from learning that stuff in your degree

[jovial latch]

so instead of fixing that, they cancelled last gen ports, and added a tiny amount of raytracing to make it look like it was legit

[livid yew]

I did 0 game programming

did not touch any graphics stuff

[fossil jewel]

oh same here

[jovial latch]

all the game dev companies learned multithreading when the ps4/xb1 came out with that shitty jaguar 8 core cpu

[livid yew]

although I modded the fuck out of games

[fossil jewel]

but some bugs are due to pointer errors and bad garbage collection

[fossil jewel]

modded skyrim till it broke

on my laptop with a 1050

[jovial latch]

any game dev that doesnt do multirhreading now is gonna have dogshit performance lol

[livid yew]

I am Java Dev

GC

whats that

memory?

who

[jovial latch]

python

[fossil jewel]

lots of games written with C++

unreal engine

[livid yew]

[jovial latch]

unreal stutter go brrr

[daring gazelle]

I thought a lot of it is already handled automatically

[livid yew]

C++

all my professors taught in C and Java

and sometimes Python

[jovial latch]

i mean it depends on the engine i think, but significant work has to be done with multithreading iirc

espeically on a custom engine

i dont think unreal is that great at multithreading iirc, could be wrong

[wicked furnace]

Had my Palantir VO today. 4 hours after I received a candidate experience survey

Guess I'm done 😦

[livid yew]

[jovial latch]

oh theres something i hate, rejection followed up by candidate survey

[livid yew]

@pulsar mural

[jovial latch]

ohhh that pisses me off

[livid yew]

oh I never do those

too much time

[jovial latch]

i have to refrain myself from doing it and cursing off the company

[livid yew]

maybe once I filled it out

@fossil jewel

[fossil jewel]

I do like 8:30-10 work, meetings from 10-11:30, PR review til 12, lunch til 1, work from 1-5

that extra 30min in the morning is crucial for me tbh

[fossil jewel]

yeah i have to see how the manager is like

[livid yew]

yeah my manager is chill as fuck

except he keeps destroing me in Mario Kart

[fossil jewel]

damn fun manager

[fossil jewel]

damn comcast seems nice

[fossil jewel]

eh every major city like that

i was in philly for <1hr

the vibe was nice ig

[livid yew]

yeah food is great, small walkable city

[fossil jewel]

nyc is walkable too

||hi @pulsar mural @pulsar mural @pulsar mural @pulsar mural @pulsar mural @pulsar mural @pulsar mural||

[fossil jewel]

i got u fam

[marsh sand]

Is it realistic to assume 50% of people who go through palantir HM get an offer?

I’m still confused as to why I passed cuz I thought I like COMPLETELY bombed decomp

[fossil jewel]

gl dude

[split plaza]

Less

I think

[marsh sand]

I see; I just hope I don’t get a weird coding task in Hm

[livid yew]

Philly is great for housing tho

[fossil jewel]

yeah its def cheaper

[livid yew]

Like luxury, new apartments for 2k or less

[fossil jewel]

less taxes too i assume

[livid yew]

Idk actually

I'll find out in a couple weeks

When I do 2022 taxes

[fossil jewel]

well just look at a pay stub

[livid yew]

Oh I pay about 1100 a stub in tax

[fossil jewel]

oh you do pay city tax

[livid yew]

Yes

City tax

[fossil jewel]

state, city and federal

just like nyc

[livid yew]

Yep

[fossil jewel]

lame

[livid yew]

Pretty normal these days

[fossil jewel]

[teal jackal]

Just say it's racist

I'd give a controversial opinion like that the light of day if you just admitted it's racist

Racism is basically pattern recognition, that's so true

I'm gonna make a machine learning model that scrapes the news, identifies the race of the subjects, and then attach negative qualities to each race based on the content of the articles

[livid yew]

true

like everybody says racist stuff at some point in there life

impossible to avoid

usually not even intended

[teal jackal]

You can be racist against your own race too

[west egret]

@pulsar mural hello

[jovial latch]

Aight fair

I mean I get confused on the semantics of it all but I suppose it is racist

[livid yew]

oh yeah true

I saw wack stuff about white people all the time

[gaunt steeple]

Btw are 2023 spring internships just not a thing?

[grizzled bronze]

@pulsar mural hello

[livid yew]

@pulsar mural hello

[grizzled bronze]

Hard to say, better to just follow up

[livid yew]

@pulsar mural goodbye

[grizzled bronze]

And Monday is also MLK day too so they may also be off then

[livid yew]

I mean it is a holiday

3 day weekend

I mean its still 4:56 on west coast

so

love half-day friday

[grizzled bronze]

[livid yew]

wake up at 9:30

2 hours of work

then done

[grizzled bronze]

Probably

I wouldn't assume though, they could also be delayed for any reason

[outer radish]

MFS rly asking bout pip now smfh

[livid yew]

hey I was on that once

for 3 months

[marsh sand]

Wtf lmaoooo

does it make a difference tho

[livid yew]

PIP made me a better engineer

[outer radish]

recruiter that created the posting prob took their blind account too srsly

[marsh sand]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[teal jackal]

It's still racist to shit on your own race but it's okay since it's a self-criticism of your own culture and identity

[teal jackal]

Not this year sadge

[teal jackal]

Could I just ask why you ended up on PIP and the advice you have to overcome it

[livid yew]

Was slacking off a lot,
I grinded hard on the PIP projects for 3 months

then stayed at that place for 2 more months

then left and doubled my TC

[teal jackal]

How do you slack off? Like do you fail to meet deadlines and goals?

[livid yew]

yeah, was just not pushing code/doing deploys

was not contributing to team discussions

messed up some on-call stuff

[teal jackal]

Ah, I guess being able to keep up with tasks is an important metric

[livid yew]

which yeah means I missed some deadlines

[teal jackal]

Just keep up and I'll survive

[livid yew]

pretty much

at my current job, I am about 3 weeks ahead lol

so I am chilling

[teal jackal]

5

[livid yew]

5PM sharp

[teal jackal]

Nah though hive ai recruiters check their inboxes on weekends too

But usually the exception

Rarely the rule

Welcome to reality

Recruiters don't necessarily keep up with those kinds of promises

[teal jackal]

Ultimate revenge

Metaception

[hasty birch]

And then they get zucked again

[teal jackal]

Just keep doing meta internships every summer the rest of your life

On another note, man does being an adult kill dreams

I want a car in Seattle for sure but the problem is that buying, parking, and insuring a car costs so much

Never thought I'd be like "hm maybe I can wait on getting a car" but here I am

[fossil jewel]

another palantir posting??

in seattle tho

[nocturne seal]

Palantir on-site is so weird

[tawdry skiff]

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

[marsh sand]

i agree

decomp is so weird

learning is the easiest interview ever

[nocturne seal]

Yea neither of my questions were hard at all

Still rejected💀

[marsh sand]

after onsite?

my decomp was haaard

[nocturne seal]

Yea

What were you asked

I was asked to create a university course sign up system

[fossil jewel]

system design on that scale for new grads and interns is a bit evil

unless you have some big fullstack project experience

[marsh sand]

this helped me ngl

two big internships full stack so i kinda knew what good and anti patterns are

3/3 Karat, Great HR interview (told i'll be moving forward during first 15 mins of interview), Passed Onsite

Watch Palantir reject me at HM

[fossil jewel]

prayge for offer

[marsh sand]

defo 😦 only chance I have cuz I know BB aint gonna give me an offer even tho i have an interview w them next week

[fossil jewel]

yeah it definitely helps but i cant imagine planning it under the time pressure

[marsh sand]

that's the thing; before walking into interview i was more concerned about what i was gonna talk about for 40 mins

but when i entered i was like literally pressed for time

[fossil jewel]

like a lot of project planning for me isnt so spontaneous

[marsh sand]

Soooo true; it really takes time and consideration to start mapping things out

I think Meta whipped me into shape this Summer tho

[vast rock]

Yall is zip recruiter still giving out interviews? I recall a lot of ppl getting rejected a few months ago i could be wrong. I personally never heard back (842 codesignal) , is this the case for most ppl

[night marsh]

Yeah SF is the same

it's actually so costly to have a car in SF that just using pub transit is more viable (unless you wanna go to South/lower East Bay)

[night marsh]

Got rejected 843 awhile back. Highest I saw rejected was an 848

[grizzled bronze]

Doge Bonk

[weary flax]

@vast rock I like ur pfp LOL

[vast rock]

tyty

LOL

[hasty birch]

Ddog

[marsh sand]

Does recruiter share onsite feedback before I go into HM?

[wet jacinth]

Do you guys think the job market will get better by the time we graduate?

[teal jackal]

Not better but not worse

We're at new grad rock bottom rn

Literally nowhere open for grads

[grizzled bronze]

It's possible

[tawdry skiff]

just cry

let it out

after you're done

puts on BBY

WE GOING TO THE MOON

[tawdry skiff]

🌚

[fair lagoon]

it will get worse because central banks interest rate will still rise

until it stops, or the government creates a bill that ties new grads to it, welp

[tawdry skiff]

well I could see a wave when the student loans stuff concludes

[jovial latch]

the govt doing things in the interest of the people? lol no

feds literally admitted they dont want people to demand higher wages

thats why they were raising interest rates l

as for the student loan thing, i seriously doubt the SC will rule in favor of biden, whats probably gonna happen is the pause remains in place till 2024

[fair lagoon]

well, the defense bill gives a lot to defense contractors, and they usually hire a lot of new grads... Lockheed Martins...

[jovial latch]

well we have to uphold the military industrial complex in some way

god forbid the money goes to the people

but yes defense contractors might still be hiring a bit idk

not that they looked at my damn apps

[fair lagoon]

it's one of the only things that is consistently raised every year, pandemic, 2008, whatever

[jovial latch]

i mean you could make a long ass list of everything wrong with the american govt

its just how it is

im in the nyc area so i aint too concerned bout the region destabilizing in the future, but certain areas of merica are gonna get pretty bad in the next decade lol

though if i got an offer in CA id fuckin move across the country

[lethal spoke]

hey everyone

i got a story for everyone here on the WORST new grad interviewer of 2011. this is what NOT to do

so, when i begun interviewing, i was downright horrible at it. so horrible in fact, i'm surprised i got a job at all much less one in three months
didn't really feel like i had done anything worth saying despite having a year of internships
and so i remember during this one interview i was pretty much promoting MY FATHER who is my role model.
my father is ivy league educated, he practiced law, and made a lot more than i ever will probably.
here i am a guy who barely pulled out a bachelors, and didn't really have any accomplishments worth talking about so i promoted my father. lol.
it was all i could really say since i had nothing else to say.

[fair lagoon]

for the non-technical questions, I read articles online on how to answer them perfectly lol

studying for an exam style

[tawdry skiff]

i dont see what's wrong with talking about family

just as long as you had a compelling story, which it sounds like you did, that's all that matters

[lethal spoke]

i mean it's definitely okay, but you need to focus on your accomplishments. your impacts.

[rain patio]

my first interview was even worse its okay we're better now

[lethal spoke]

exactly, now i can talk about how my work has had a positive impact on hundreds of thousands of people

for instance, if you submitted a health care claim, there's a really small but definite chance the process took place with apps i wrote

[grizzled bronze]

It's irrelevant to the interview, they want to know about YOU in the limited time they have to interview you

[tawdry skiff]

#2023_grads message

[rain patio]

id prob leave all the praising to the teams that you were a part of (with some self-credit sprinkled in) idk

[lethal spoke]

you're supposed to talk about what you've done (aka you accomplishments). definitely do not brag, though, you are right.

that is a fault a lot of people in general have

[teal jackal]

Jay Powell himself mask off said that there's too many job openings

Either I buy a car as soon as I get my bonus in February assuming I don't get PIPped

Or I can wait until I get promoted or hop to to SE2 to buy a car and stretch my budget for a car to like 50k, enough to get me a nice V6 RWD sedan

I have zero interest in anything electric in the immediate moment, I'll have all the time in the world for one when I'm older and gas cars are all banned out of existence

I heard

Apparently the 2.0t was actually pretty peppy

And drove quite nicely

Honestly Honda quit a successful product, man that sucks

Do we even know if there's enough lithium for all the evs in the world?

But then again sodium ion batteries are promising

[gray dagger]

Hydrogen >>>

[teal jackal]

Mazda 3 turbo with awd is really sick

Quite a decent deal for a car

[nocturne oriole]

Mazdas

Hypothetically if u were to buy a truck

Which would it be

[teal jackal]

Probably Chevy Colorado or Ford ranger

Tbh compact pickups are more well rounded

Average truck buyer won't need a full size v8 truck(nvm this argument is kinda irrelevant and invalid since I'm arguing about the aesthetics of truck ownership)

A compact truck will drive like a 4x4 if need be

True

But one may enjoy the aesthetic of a truck

[fossil jewel]

wym, i wanna have my whole office in the back

[nocturne oriole]

I am not a truck person but i actually do understand people who wanna own one literally just because lol

[teal jackal]

Honestly it was so mind blowing to see once during high school robotics

One Indian kid's dad drove a GMC Sierra

[livid yew]

But what if you shop at Costco or do house repairs lol

[teal jackal]

Like I've never seen an Asian drive a truck before

I know for a fact the kids dad does data science

Their other car is a Lincoln mkz sedan which is also pretty cool

Always thought those rebadged ford fusions looked sharp

[rain patio]

having the high ground is nice

[teal jackal]

Chinese family friend got a Kia recently

The Sorrento

Never see Asians buy American cars though except for that Indian family

His dad probably has a thing for American cars

[rain patio]

its a rly good feeling being so above everyone else. I've only driven a UHAUL before. get the strong urge to tailgate drivers /s

[teal jackal]

Elantra N is nice but looks like a kids car

Mazda 3 turbo is refined looking

But slower

[rain patio]

especially if you drive a dodge ram, ur unstoppable

[teal jackal]

Vw gti is a good middle ground

Civic type r is like only 2k away from golf r territory

I'd fork over the extra 2k for the golf r

New gen civic type R's price tag got hands, 43k for a civic

Yeah that's a good jdea

Integra type s

I hope that doesn't end up being too expensive

Like no more than 5k more expensive than the civic

The fwd BMW sedan gets memed on

As it should be memed on

Really? I thought the current gen inline 6 was goated

Even Toyota trusts BMW with it

[teal jackal]

The inline 6 has had a lot of time to be honed

[teal jackal]

Looks just like my sister's dog

[teal jackal]

Bichons are the goated dog tbh

The true middle ground for everything

[teal jackal]

Not too much maintenance as a dog

Friendly

Playful

Small

Bichons are the pet for me

[fossil jewel]

i love corgis

Saw we were talking about Walmart earlier
Fuck walmart

I pass their oa and then they were gonna move me to an interview and then I get this shit

They can rot in hell

Bastards

[fossil jewel]

[cedar gulch]

why does that even matter lol if anything they should move you to a higher position or smthn

[jovial latch]

Needless to say my mood and morale has been teetherijg on the verge of insanity dealing with this and other bs

[fossil jewel]

i don’t blame you

[rain patio]

ong the amount of applications i needed to discard because of arbitrary "minimum requirements: Must be seeking a Bachelor's" its stupid bruh

it almost feels like a disadvantage to be pursuing an ms

[tawdry skiff]

they probably didn't want to deal with the pay increase for a masters student

[rain patio]

yeah i think thats it

[jovial latch]

Pretty much
Even though I write negotiable when the app asks for salary requirements

And if they want a number I give the lowest possible number

More proof that bitch ass hr doesn't actually read apps properly maybe

Blegh

[whole roost]

it's crazy that multi-billion dollar companies be penny pinching to this extent

gotta have that y-on-y growth I guess

[jovial latch]

I regret my ms daily

[plush lily]

Write -0 if the field is numeric only

[jovial latch]

I do lol

0 if number only, negotiable if words allowed

[teal jackal]

That's wild

Honestly Walmart being arbitrary for that shit

[jovial latch]

I chalked it up to the recruiter being a massive bitch disconnected from what the swe team needed

[torpid birch]

Probably hr

[jovial latch]

My hatred for recruiters grows every day

[torpid birch]

Are recruiters hr

[jovial latch]

I use them interchangably

They both suck equally as much

[west egret]

Walmart has terrible interview process. Had a pretty bad experience with them where they legit ghosted me in a final interview. Then when I had the final, the interviewer was unprofessional af.

[jovial latch]

Yea it's awful

I mean the implication is what, they gave me an OA, were gonna move me to an interview, then decided to look at my resume or the app where I put down I had a master's degree and reject me

It wasn't an automated oa either they sent it after like 2 weeks

What the fuck

These fucking dumbass monkeys are in control of my career

[west egret]

Recruiting with WM is just a mess. Last year they ghosted internship applicants for a solid 1-2 months with no responses. They didn’t even send me a reject after my final interview until 3-4 months later.

[tardy geode]

yo what the

[livid yew]

WHAT

dumb ass company

[jovial latch]

Walmart

[livid yew]

I went to a Walmart today, first time in like 6 months

[jovial latch]

Yea let the whole world know what a buncha cunts they all are

[livid yew]

bro that place sucks

I went for a couple simple things

[jovial latch]

If anyone wants to know why I act fuckin miserable in here, it's cause of crap like that

[livid yew]

@peak ferry

[peak ferry]

recruiters typically get absurd # of apps. so yea they often don't look very closely until they need to invest actual resources, like engineer time to interview.

[jovial latch]

Also need to know this

Speaking of which, fuck hirevue parsing my god

[livid yew]

oh I never trust parsing

I always go back and manually verify everytime

[jovial latch]

Well in that the majority of the code is me parsing the input lol

They do it really badly

[jaunty basalt]

yeah i remember blackrock

[jovial latch]

You'd think coordinates would be given in like some sort of integer list or something that makes sense

[west egret]

Pretty sure GM and JPMC use hirevue

[jaunty basalt]

the problem was parsing

[west egret]

Both rejected me too

[jaunty basalt]

not even algo

[jaunty basalt]

they do

but gm is a joke
