[livid yew]

OH

[daring gazelle]

My dad always tell me to be more aggressive in finding jobs

[livid yew]

8ball says no job

[daring gazelle]

I shown him my list of applications

And he was like

“Oh”

And tell me not to worry

I was like “uh huh”

[daring gazelle]

It’s over

It’s truly over when even your boomer parents ran out of advice to give

It’s over

[gaunt steeple]

mood

[livid yew]

[teal jackal]

I've made my decision about getting a car in Seattle

I remembered that the whole reason I want a car is to get a fun car and join a car enthusiast club

And go on car-centric outings with the boys

I'm gonna save up for a Golf R

But still have like $30-40k in my bank after buying it

[daring gazelle]

Damn you live in Seattle? Price is crazy nowadays

[teal jackal]

I'm gonna be living there

anyways i'll buy a golf r once
I have double the cost of a golf r in my bank account

[livid yew]

damn man is loaded

[teal jackal]

it might take me 2 years

or ill wait longer if I feel broke for some reason

[livid yew]

you are not broke

far from it lmao

[teal jackal]

but the golf r will be my one size fits all car

[livid yew]

nice lookin car

[teal jackal]

comfortable, practical, and fast

It's a good car

[livid yew]

I mean in a city, you dont need fast lmao

you aint zooming downtown

but when you get on the highway you need fast

[teal jackal]

honestly ill probably settle for a GTI by that point when I think about whether or not ill actually use all that speed

[livid yew]

I still have a crappy 2010 car

[teal jackal]

which car?

[livid yew]

my mom's old Land Rover

so was nice at the time

kinda trash now

[teal jackal]

which land rover?

[livid yew]

still get looks, like damn 20s dude in a Rover

[teal jackal]

is it the discovery

[livid yew]

no

LR2

[teal jackal]

ah

[livid yew]

its like the most basic

[teal jackal]

the land rover rav4

[livid yew]

still a rover

[teal jackal]

at least you got the cool british badge

[livid yew]

Repair Costs

[teal jackal]

i was gonna say

arent those costly in that regard

[livid yew]

I have about 115k miles on it

takes premium gas

cost a fuckton lmao

[peak ferry]

my monthly travel expenses are like $20 take a bus or the subway every few days

just walk 5head

[livid yew]

actually was only $46 today for gas

[livid yew]

I was 15 miles away from home

am not walking that far

[teal jackal]

i realized that the only thing i want a car is for fun

so i should wait until i can get the one i want

[livid yew]

yeah I had it in college for transit and in Wisconsin to get home and stuff

cause in Wisco it was a daily commute of 16 miles

5 days a week

[teal jackal]

makes sense

[fair lagoon]

bro, get a 4k$ beige corolla lol

[jovial latch]

i hate driving, i have no intention of ever owning a car

also shits expensive

[tardy geode]

i just wanna buy a BMW M3

https://tenor.com/view/bmw-gif-24888231

the most beautiful BMW ever

[jovial latch]

id also like to own a car and not be paywalled by software

thats a whole thing now

[fair lagoon]

every cars made before 2017 are not paywalled, except for SiriusXM

Newer cars have subscription for controlling your car with your phone

[jovial latch]

ye all the new cars are gonna have paywalls, but im based in nyc so i prefer being without a car

moneys gotta go towards rent n shit

[lament basin]

any job getters

[daring gazelle]

No only jobcels here

[green pendant]

unfortunately no

[misty fable]

not yet

just finished my final term of uni

[lament basin]

soon

[misty fable]

have a few more months before i run out of savings and have to go back to retail

hopefully won't get to that point

[teal jackal]

parking and insurance is a bitch in cities

hard to justify owning a car there

[livid yew]

facts

I pay $190/month for parking

insurance is only $80

[livid yew]

well start to buy less stuff

stretch the dollar

[misty fable]

yeah i've been doing that for a while now

thankfully no car or anything, rent is also relatively cheap (to vancouver standards at least)

so daily expenses are pretty much just groceries/transit/rent bills, which is nice

[tawdry skiff]

https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cl3GUE7Do0V

[grizzled bronze]

No shame working in retail even if you have to

[misty fable]

oh definitely not, i'll be doing that when necessary

just that from having worked part time multiple times, i'd rather not

but my journey might not be as smooth sailing as the majority of people here so gotta do what i gotta do

but for now i have the luxury to just sit at home and grind lc/apps :p

which is nice in a way i guess? not everyone can afford to do this

i've got about 6 months

[grizzled bronze]

Nice

[radiant juniper]

Anyone know abt gecko robotics’ application process?

[livid yew]

I worked for 6 months dual part-time retail jobs from graduation until first swe job

so I feel that

[misty fable]

yeah no shame in doing it

i'll land something sooner or later

thanks for sharing man

[livid yew]

I mean it was not for the money lol

[misty fable]

anything to survive lmao

[livid yew]

was just bored as fuck stuck at home with my parents

[misty fable]

ah i see i see

i'm kinda alone in NA so i'll be lying if i said the pressure isn't there

but yeah, just gotta keep trying

[livid yew]

Fair

Yeah all my family lives here in the US

[teal jackal]

HOW

i thought insurance was sky high for adults under 25

[livid yew]

wdym

I have been a State Farm customer for like 6 yrs

idk

[teal jackal]

ah

my parents always said it'd be super expensive

no fear though im planning on saving up for the right car i want

[livid yew]

oh

maybe for new people

but I have had a car since HS

[teal jackal]

Ah

You paid it forward all your life then

Insured since you started driving

Insurance for the young is expensive

[fossil jewel]

monthly???

[fossil jewel]

you can always make a quote and see how much it would be

[livid yew]

Yes

[fossil jewel]

hmmm my dad and brother do six months since it saves

[livid yew]

Yahkub Simp: The Ghost Pinger's Fall from Grace

Once upon a time, there lived a man named Yahkuna Matada, known by his peers as Yahkub Simp. He spent his days on a popular online message server forum, known as Discord. Yahkub was known for one thing, and one thing only: ghost pinging people.

Yahkub would tirelessly message his fellow users on the forum, even when they had made it clear they were not interested in communicating with him. He found joy in sending messages to people who had blocked him and seeing notification pop up.

His behavior quickly earned him a reputation as a nuisance, and many users began to distance themselves from him. They warned their friends not to engage with him, and some even created bots to automatically block him.

But Yahkub's infatuation with ghost pinging only grew stronger. He would create new accounts and aliases to bypass blocks, and his messages became more aggressive and persistent. He was determined to be noticed, no matter the cost.

As Yahkub's actions escalated, the moderators of the forum intervened. They banned his multiple accounts, but Yahkub always found a way to create new ones. He was relentless in his pursuit of ghost pinging others.

In the end, Yahkub's behavior led to him being banned permanently from the forum. He was left alone, a cautionary tale of the dangers of obsession and the importance of respecting boundaries on online platforms.

The saga of Yahkub Simp, the ghost pinger of Discord, serves as a reminder of how our actions online can have real-life consequences, and how important it is to respect the boundaries and wishes of others.

[marsh sand]

Okeyy makes sense ahahahaha i did 0 til now

[tardy geode]

[marsh sand]

Too focused on palantir

[tardy geode]

wait

[marsh sand]

Feels like chance of palantir > bloomberg at this point

[tardy geode]

before

praying that you get tagged q's

pray that your interviewer shows up

💀

that's the most imp part in their hiring process

[marsh sand]

Ohh bloomberg booked my library for interviews

I think someone will definitely show up 😂

[tardy geode]

oh

[marsh sand]

Surprisingly my interviewer showed up for my phone on the first attempt late nov

[tardy geode]

my interviewer didn't show up twice

smh

[marsh sand]

I heard so many negative things about BB’s process i just didnt practice

Ho mah gahd

Are u still like getting ghosted

[livid yew]

to all interviews this week

I am gonna be on the reverse side

might just ask LC meds

[tardy geode]

you gonna take interviews , thats sick

[livid yew]

[marsh sand]

Oooo ask them three sum

[livid yew]

I will ask 1sum

[tardy geode]

ask reverse linked list

[torpid birch]

I will ask JavaScript trivia

• gatekeeping questions disguised as personality quizzes

[livid yew]

WHY

[tardy geode]

its confusing af

[fossil jewel]

$400 jeans

[west egret]

I mean you’re going to hear more negatives than positives. I didn’t have any major problems with BB but less ppl are going to pay attention to me saying “BB was fine” vs “BB ghosted me in 3 straight interviews”.

Also, doesn’t help that they were hiring a ton. So you’d be more likely to see more negatives than usual even if it’s about the same rate compared to last season.

[fossil jewel]

yeah my process was fine too

if anything, i heard about the next steps a day or two after

and reject after i reminded the recruiter about my deadline, then i got the rej

[west egret]

Even last season I think I got rejected pretty quickly lol

They didn’t ghost

[fossil jewel]

yeah they're really under load

[west egret]

^ more ppl applying means more recruiters/interviewers at capacity

[west egret]

Feel free to hit me up for referral after like a year btw

[fossil jewel]

ty homie

definitely gonna look around depending on market conditions after a year or two but i can also do jpm referrals (idk if they do anything but worth a shot)

[west egret]

I’m planning to stay 2 years minimum unless market improves and I get some big N level offer.

[fossil jewel]

yeah same here

just gonna get my bonus first year and then see how i like it

good wlb means i can LC for Big N

[livid yew]

MASSIVE BONUS

[fossil jewel]

im also required to stay for one year in order to keep sign on bonus

else i pay pre-tax

[livid yew]

so yeah stay 1yr

wtf

[fossil jewel]

yeah exactly

im just looking forward to learning

[livid yew]

I mean leaving sooner would require umm a new apartment lmao

breaking a lease earlier

Ive done that, not fun

[fossil jewel]

oh im not relocating

gonna commute

[livid yew]

how far is commute?

[fossil jewel]

just 1hr by train

pretty chill

[livid yew]

that is more than a 7min walk

[fossil jewel]

7 min walk would make my rent in the 3-4k range

[livid yew]

[fossil jewel]

commute to my school was 1.5hr each way

so im used to long commutes

It can be easy to pickup when ChatGPT wrote something, bad idea to use it for assignments

[timber rock]

it does have a pretty distinct way of speaking

If ChatGPT existed for some of my past interviews, I could have gotten away with cheating

on a rush to solve top 30 tagged lmao

[livid yew]

9am interview

[marsh sand]

woah 9am? where?

[livid yew]

you said 12hrs

it is currently 8:45pm here

therefore 12 hours = 8:45am

[marsh sand]

OH I'm based in london

thankfully it's not 9am; I think my interviewer would auto hate me if that happened

[foggy perch]

psh obviously only real timezone is est

[marsh sand]

Imagine our only source of time were vector clocks

https://www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/comments/10btoui/palantir_new_grad_2023/

Looks like tons got rejected at onsite for Palantir

HM to offer rate looks crazy high in this poll; I guess it's biased

[livid yew]

9am is when most people start work

what even is decomp?

[marsh sand]

that's true, but I don't think people would appreciate starting the day off with an interview

[marsh sand]

baby sys-design

[livid yew]

oh

just call it that

[marsh sand]

exactly lmaoooo would simplify a lot of things

[livid yew]

when is the LC part?

[marsh sand]

Karat

[livid yew]

oh

those are pretty easy sometimes

[marsh sand]

I think people also have OAs they have to do, but some people don't do it

[livid yew]

hmm I should apply to this place

[marsh sand]

yup, I got lucked out and my Karat was literally 3 questions just copy pasting the 1st question

[livid yew]

[marsh sand]

Yea I found the interview process up until now not that bad

I recently passed onsite

interviewers were extremely nice

[livid yew]

BRO they have so many openings wtf

[marsh sand]

yea; they are posting new locations very frequently

[livid yew]

a bunch of weird locations

lmao Denver

[marsh sand]

I talked to the interviewers and they're constantly understaffed

so even if they hire a shit ton it's still gonna be understaffed

[fossil jewel]

ppl jump ship it seems

crazy high TC vs morals

[marsh sand]

Yup; someone told me there's gonna be an exodus end of year

dk why but that's what someone told me in Palantir

stock not valuable as much after going public, compensation increase isn't like guaranteed and stuff

[fossil jewel]

hmm

[marsh sand]

so great place to start, not a great place to coast apparently

idk how true that is though

[fossil jewel]

yeah i heard its big brains there

might be those type of places that are too big brained and have a lot of toxicity

idk though, i got selected for the OA then withdrew my app

[marsh sand]

did you accept an offer elsewhere?

[livid yew]

i mean starting TC seems poggers

[marsh sand]

yea I'm glad you did tho cuz Palantir's interview process is LONG

like average 3-4 months

[marsh sand]

defo; at least for London it's the highest payer (excluding trading firms

[fossil jewel]

just return from jp

i had that since august

[marsh sand]

I'm still sad my employment at Meta is like done done

no return offers for London interns lmaoo

[fossil jewel]

yeah i was doing bloomberg and that just ended my encouragement

[marsh sand]

Did you get up to HM for BB?

[fossil jewel]

VO

[marsh sand]

I have my onsite tomorrow and apparently the onsite is now like 1 LC round 1 SysDesign round

and the sys design is either like topK or notification system

[foggy perch]

it's strange how I witnessed meta downfall in realtime since I knew people like 2 years ago flexing and talking about how easy it was to get meta offers

[fossil jewel]

in all fairness, i know why i got rejected, i was under prepared LC wise

[foggy perch]

and now we're here

[marsh sand]

yup; Meta overhired I think the previous year

[marsh sand]

how many tagged did you do? I'm on a rush right now lmao

[fossil jewel]

i dont remember if i applied, but usually when i do, i just get ghosted

[fossil jewel]

like top 20-30

[marsh sand]

riiight I'm failing tomorrow

[fossil jewel]

in general i only have 80 LC solved

[marsh sand]

I was gonna do 30 and finish lmao

I have 400 and I still can't solve mediums

[foggy perch]

wait so have you already finished palantir interviews and are now doing bb

[marsh sand]

Nope I'm waiting for my HM to be scheduled

[foggy perch]

ah

[marsh sand]

low hopes for Palantir though 😦

[fossil jewel]

gl

in both

[marsh sand]

Apparently tons get rejected from Hiring Manager round

thanks! I kinda don't have any hope for BB

I'm pretty sure I'll fail onsite tomorrow; what does bloomberg even do besides terminal?

[fossil jewel]

i think everyone goes bbg for the C++ to go quant/hft after

[marsh sand]

yea I was gonna do that too but programming in C++ gives me headaches

coming from TypeScript C++ is a completely different beast

[livid yew]

I need to learn ts

like more of it

[marsh sand]

TS is GOAT when combined with React

and TS saved my ass for Palantir's onsite

[fossil jewel]

idk any JS

just rock python and uh

dart/flutter

[livid yew]

Not a big front end dude

[fossil jewel]

Go is next on my list

and scala bc job

[livid yew]

Learn Java, Go, JavaScript

All you need tbh

[fossil jewel]

ye ik java from class

i did more c++ in school though

[foggy perch]

wtf

I despised TS and React when I used it for a class lmao

[foggy perch]

eh

I think the percentage is overhyped

[fossil jewel]

% of people going to hft?

[foggy perch]

I think it's a sig percentage but just a very vocal minority

no

I mean like tryhard people who want to go to quant after bb

[fossil jewel]

ah fair

yeah its either quant/hft or intentions for big tech

in general, getting exp anywhere helps

[foggy perch]

maybe

i think more people are down to just chill for a while

than are shown on this server

[fossil jewel]

ye this server is a bubble after all

[livid yew]

fuck HFT

not worth it

[marsh sand]

Everyone's hating on Palantir

[livid yew]

nah it seems fine

[marsh sand]

but I already signed with the devil the moment I joined Meta

[teal jackal]

Im salty that Palantir doesn't like me

[livid yew]

Facebook is sussy

[marsh sand]

did they reject you at HM

[teal jackal]

That's why I hate on palantir for abusing human rights

Nah they rejected me at phone screen 💀

[livid yew]

I would apply to Facebook/Meta and ghost the recruiter

[marsh sand]

wtf yea you have all the reason to hate them

[green pendant]

BB is kinda slow right now but tbh they were still hiring as of December

[marsh sand]

lmaooooo

[green pendant]

so don't lose hope yet

[marsh sand]

yea I heard too; and I think situation is a lil different for London

[teal jackal]

I won't hate on anyone who joins palantir just because they joined palantir

[marsh sand]

The people seemed nice

[teal jackal]

But Alex karp and co want to lead the world towards 1984 but irl

[livid yew]

who?

[teal jackal]

CEO of palantir

[livid yew]

oh

yeah I dont care what c-levels do

I am just lowly code monkey

[green pendant]

ooh london

yeah idk about london lol

[marsh sand]

They're coming to my university tomorrow to interview me

I kinda feel bad cuz I prepared jack for BB; I just started grinding the tagged list like 2 hours ago and solved like 10

[livid yew]

well its practice anyways

so

[teal jackal]

Wow Bloomberg is coming to an in person interview

Good luck mate

Seems nerve-racking to do it irl

[livid yew]

nah I would rather

[marsh sand]

I don't have preference cuz I've never done one irl

[livid yew]

all my interviews pre-2020 were in person

[teal jackal]

Techie the boomer ass mf

I know you pinged and unpinged

[livid yew]

[marsh sand]

Why can't they just be happy so I don't have to solve this dumb problem

[fossil jewel]

they miserable

[livid yew]

TIL there are more than 1000 LC

[marsh sand]

I wonder how often fulltimers actually leetcode and interview even if they are not interested in accepting the job

[livid yew]

as a full-timer, 3-5 LC a week

interview whenever a recruiter reaches out and I am interested

[marsh sand]

are you fulltime right now? I think you mentioned it before

[livid yew]

have been FT since October 2020

[marsh sand]

How's life as a full-timer? only done internships so would like an insight hahaha

[livid yew]

It's good

Good WLB

Fun tech

My current pay is peanut

[green pendant]

daily reminder that it's not you it's the market

[livid yew]

No I have shit pay job

[marsh sand]

job stability >>>>>> peanut

[livid yew]

Falsen

TC > everything

[marsh sand]

kinda true lmao

esp for international ppl like me cuz I'd rather make the money in my home country if the TC is peanuts in London

I'd just live in my parents house

[livid yew]

Oh you are not from London

[marsh sand]

sadly not 😦 actually kinda glad I'm not from London

[livid yew]

[marsh sand]

prefer south korea waay more

[livid yew]

Sounds like somewhere in Asia

[marsh sand]

home of kpop lmaoooooo

I wanna move to US long-term though; job prospects there are muuuch better

lived there when I was little and it's been a nice experience

[fossil jewel]

good food

always heard that korean food is a soul food and i agree

[marsh sand]

the biggest reason I love korea

and healthcare just works; you pay like 3 dollars and you actually get diagnosed by a good doctor

no wait times

[fossil jewel]

thats crazy

paid for by taxes i assume?

[marsh sand]

I think we do pay for public healthcare yes

and doctors are the most paid in Korea so TONS of people become doctors

[fossil jewel]

korea has some crazy tech too

i saw those billboards with the 3d animation

[peak ferry]

software & websites for random shit in korea was actually so scuffed its crazy

[rain patio]

living in Korea 💀

setting life difficulty to hard mode

[peak ferry]

If I knew korean and made western $$/wlb living in korea sounds great, otherwise sounds not great

[rain patio]

from the street interviews I’ve seen a lot of S.Koreans seem to wanna gtfo lol

Can’t remember the reason why but possibly due to pressure/labor, it’s pretty intense to be a rising professional

[timber rock]

yea thats it, they call it hell joseon

[fossil jewel]

yeah ik the educational bar there is crazy high

[peak ferry]

I haven't seen street interviews or anything, I've just heard wlb is stank and $$ is not good by 🇺🇸 standards.

On the flip side it was great visiting. food & transit was pretty top notch, COL was also nice (ofc bc everyone kinda makes less...)

[fossil jewel]

english tests that are literally mind mazes

[peak ferry]

ok so this is the fucking cap, very very few people actually speak english. rip to the one friend that spoke half broken korean on our trip that had to translate for everyone rofl

[timber rock]

their english tests are insane

i looked at them ages ago and could barely do any of it

[granite trench]

apart from terminal, bloomberg also provides market data feeds to banks/quant/hft, its their growing area

[fossil jewel]

yeah thats actually what that is

actual reading and writing tests are HARD ASF but not a lot of conversational practice around the language

[peak ferry]

god bless google translate

[fossil jewel]

imagine chat gpt like translate

[late kestrel]

bruh stfu no you dont

[marsh sand]

yup korean corporations are known for their pressure/wlb lmao

VERY toxic

[livid yew]

I mean

but these New Grads making like 300-500k at HFT

[fossil jewel]

yeah but you putting in work for those interviews

[nocturne oriole]

USA tech salaries dont scale anywhere else in the world unfortunately

[livid yew]

[nocturne oriole]

But if u could find US tech company to accept u working remotely yes it sounds great

[fossil jewel]

most comparable is Switzerland but its expensive asf there

[marsh sand]

Swiss is apparently boring and expensive af

skiing

[livid yew]

I only know English

so fuck me

[peak ferry]

tbh I still want to work in a foreign country after I make some ameribux as a nestegg. europe sounds nice

[timber rock]

thats probably like 30 people a year lol

[nocturne oriole]

The only ones that scale well are quants in london probably

[fossil jewel]

they speak english there

lol

[livid yew]

oh

did not know

[fossil jewel]

when i was in paris, they knew english

[livid yew]

I have never been to Europe

[fossil jewel]

unlike the US, they actually learn the languages

[timber rock]

most big cities are fine for english

[peak ferry]

because usa stronk 🇺🇸

[livid yew]

I cannot justify leaving the US yet

[fossil jewel]

donda esta

[livid yew]

donda?

trash album

[nocturne oriole]

I am slowly warming up to the idea that anybody who wants to eventually leave america for another 1st world country is living in nyc because there is no city quite like it in america

[fossil jewel]

idk spanish

only did 1 year in hs

[livid yew]

I would be curious if we did a server-wide poll, the ratio of Int vs. US citizens

probably 60/40

tbh

[fossil jewel]

im a us citizen

[livid yew]

[peak ferry]

chicago -> nyc -> tokyo speed run real quick

[nocturne oriole]

Nyc is the closest in culture and lifestyle to any other big city globally worth mentioning

Like far and away it has that spot

[livid yew]

oh yeah we have 0 culture in the US

true

[fossil jewel]

got all the foods

melting pots of cultures in nyc

[livid yew]

just a bunch of pretentious racist white fucks

[nocturne oriole]

Food, walkability, nice architecture, at least some nice parks

[fossil jewel]

literally everyday you might meet someone from a place you never knew existed

[livid yew]

At least that is my take on ppl in America

[livid yew]

North Korea

[peak ferry]

can't wait to get hate crimed 🇺🇸

[timber rock]

nyc is cool its easily the best american city ive been to

[livid yew]

I was in NYC in 2008

right when the market crashed

[nocturne oriole]

No noose emojis

[fossil jewel]

you can probably find some that have escaped

[livid yew]

unban yak

[nocturne oriole]

Ok then u get banned

Life for life

[livid yew]

[nocturne oriole]

Law of equivalent exchange

Deal or no deal

[livid yew]

do you know my alt though

[nocturne oriole]

5 sec

[livid yew]

[nocturne oriole]

IP ban

Vpn gremlins

I hate u

[livid yew]

I work at Comcast

I can prob just change it

[livid yew]

hey I dont want Mr FBI seeing my sussy stuff

nah he can wait his 6 days

[nocturne oriole]

Sentence was reduced to 5

[livid yew]

NO put it back to the full 7

[late kestrel]

smh i cant believe u

[livid yew]

Its a meme

but since I joined this server, it has changed my outlook on TC

[late kestrel]

i know thats why im not fighting that

[livid yew]

before, my parents, advisors, etc all said basically "you will make like 50K out of college" and maybe 100K by 30

little did they know

AYO

PAUSE

[late kestrel]

[livid yew]

[fossil jewel]

[late kestrel]

[livid yew]

[daring gazelle]

Really?

[rain patio]

yes rly nyc on top every day🌆 🚒 🔥 ⏰ ‼️

[daring gazelle]

NYC is the last place I want to be in the US ngl

City of sins

[outer radish]

Mfw i learned you can paid over 250k as a wagie

[livid yew]

I don't think so

I will never get good at LC

[sonic coral]

Nah that’s Vegas

[peak ferry]

at least able to smile :)

[marsh sand]

Did any of you guys have a recruiter call before HM round for Palantir?

Is that just for like feedback

[toxic latch]

Does Palantir send rejection emails? I applied for New Grad on 14th Jan and hasn't heard back.Should I wait a little bit or is it a rejection?

[marsh sand]

Earliest it’ll take is like a week

Unless you mean 2022 Jan

[toxic latch]

I mean Jan '23

I have read all their NG Glassdoor reviews.All reviews from Jan last year are just "rejected"🥲🥲 .

[marsh sand]

Imma fail bb onsite today

Holy fak

[quick knot]

Have a databricks HM call coming up ? Any idea about what it is. It is the next step after recruiter call and the rec told me that it wont be like a phone screen

[wheat seal]

I mean tbh that’s fair for non - cs

For cs it’s more like 70-80k out of college

And after that u just can’t predict

[green pendant]

Good luck!

[marsh sand]

Just had it

Lmaooo

[wheat seal]

How’d it go?

[solemn tinsel]

what rounds have you done in the process so far? I had recruiter call and my next round is a technical phone screen so I'm not sure what HM is

[marsh sand]

It was pretty fun; it was a OOP problem rather than a classic ds & algo problem

It was hard in that the interviewer reallly cared about good design practices

Like decoupling and stuff

[wheat seal]

Oh cool that’s good to know

[fervent drift]

howdy

[covert fable]

What questions do you guys ask at the end of your interview if you have no offers? I am usually like just give me a job first. I'll think on optimizing what kind of job I want with future offers

[green pendant]

ask about the company/the role?

first few months, languages used, ratio of senior:junior

so many questions that are valid

[covert fable]

I am at a later stage so know about the company and the role, but other questions seem valid

I don't want to ask any question that might seem like I am picky and may not pick them if they give me an offer

[green pendant]

oh definitely ask the ratio of senior/junior then

and what kind of feedback loops exist

etc

I asked a friend to refer me for an open position at a company and instead of referring me she joined that team (i think for that position itself) and now the position is closed rip

[daring gazelle]

it is what it is

[covert fable]

This is helpful, thanks!

[covert fable]

This sucks

[green pendant]

I be saying this to myself 93 times each day nowadays

[daring gazelle]

I starting run out of "it is what it is"

been getting real angry just to push on

becoming real pathological

[tardy jolt]

If I've never had an internship should I be applying for full time jobs or internships

[livid yew]

what a bitch

[green pendant]

gotta move on

[timber rock]

both but a lot of internships require you to be graduating after the end date

[tardy jolt]

Yeah that's the dilemma I'm in right now, not sure if I should push back my graduation 🤷‍♂️

[tawdry skiff]

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CnFSS3PhOyW/

[fair lagoon]

take easy classes so you are technically still eligible for internships ahahahah

and do leetcode and interview on the side

[tardy jolt]

Hmm ok ok 💀

[worn seal]

Anyone know how IMC Hardware Engineering interview would be different than SWE?

[covert pond]

Anyone go through the stackadapt interview process?

[west pagoda]

Feel like I’ll need to stay at my “temporary” new grad job longer than I anticipated, field is so dry rn wtf

[livid yew]

yep

[tender sluice]

stay until ur no longer a new grad bro

[quick knot]

It is the call with hiring manager. I was told technical phone screen would be the round after that

[grizzled bronze]

Are you still friends?

[green pendant]

+1 market is definitely better with more experience

[green pendant]

blocker her on whatsapp instagram gmail and spotify 😤

[teal jackal]

Jay Powell whipped and nae naed on the economy

[west pagoda]

Do you all think company brand identity gets tied too deeply to you professionally if you stay in one place for too long tho?

[hasty birch]

Define “too long”

[west pagoda]

Like 2-3 years after grad?

[hasty birch]

Nah 2-3 yrs is fine

[west pagoda]

Ideally it won’t be that long, but not sure at what point things will really improve with the market

Will keep trying fs

[tall plover]

don't sweat it too much rn

[teal jackal]

3 years is rookie numbers

You'll be good

💯

has anyone done hive ai ceo chat? is it technical?

[green pendant]

daily reminder that it's not the market it's you

[neon perch]

I have an upcoming new grad data engineer final round with CVS. There’s a business/technical round so if anyone has any inputs on what I could expect, would be really helpful. Thanks!!

[neat horizon]

is hardware engineering anything else than fpga nowadays? only know one guy and he does fpga

[hasty birch]

Offer

[chilly burrow]

I disagree 😃 👍

[neon perch]

I got a phone interview coming up. Which role is this for? And I believe I solved all 6

[manic dawn]

really? did this happen to you?

[hasty birch]

No, some other folks have said it on this server

[rain patio]

Mf said spotify 💀

[green pendant]

Have you ever searched for a song on Spotify that has the same first few letters as your ex's name?

Not a fun experience trust me

Always good to block people you don't want to be reminded of on Spotify 👍

[rain patio]

[green pendant]

Do y'all think Spotify will add stories anytime soon

[fossil jewel]

recruiter reached out this was the process

[fair lagoon]

how would they assess FPGA with a web browser, using an emulator?

[fossil jewel]

idk i never applied

[rain patio]

Bruh no ine gives a fuck abt spotify

Like i jaut play songs and sometimes see what others r listening to

[livid yew]

TIL Spotify has a friends/social section

[neon perch]

Good luck!

[rain patio]

[green pendant]

No I hope they add stories so they need to hire engineers for a new stories team and so I can be hired by them

[rain patio]

U the dude in bbcord

[cloud summit]

does anyone know what's SIG's cooldown is? (if there is one)

[crystal hollow]

do any of you have work experience besides internships?

[green pendant]

unfortunately yes I wish I got an offer

I would kiss mike bloomberg on his head if I got an offer

[foggy perch]

I'll vote for bloomburger if he paid us for successful referrals instead of donating to charity

[green pendant]

this year for halloween I will ask cs majors to list their experience and education

followed by "where did you hear about this opportunity"

[neon perch]

Any updates on flexport?

[chilly burrow]

They laid off 640ppl 👍

[neon perch]

They’re still hiring engineers I heard?

[green pendant]

Not yet

[green pendant]

According to blind engineering is mostly unaffected

And will keep growing at least into the near future

That being said

[neon perch]

Did you apply for SWE?

[green pendant]

I smell some rescinds coming from flexport

[neon perch]

Same lol
