I understand why delaying is such a big deal now

Go ahead if you're a citizen bro

Gotta use that privilege

#

company is waiting to see on whether or not the economic circumstances are right to accept the new grads

#

is freelancing saturated?

#

if not right by the time start date pulls up, rescinds

lone rapids
#

Clearly nothing gonna improve in next few months really.

#

Those stimulus checks were given without any verification and created such a huge cash circulation.

# teal jackal is freelancing saturated?

Extremely for low levels. After you start cracking 20$ an hr then it really opens up. Just gotta find the right connections to kickstart more expensive ventures. I got lucky by riding the NFT/Crypto hype train, so tons of non-tech folk paying disgusting money for CRUD apps

teal jackal
#

take advantage of those mfs

#

what do you define as low level?

#

and what do you define as opening up?

young peak
young peak
#

That itself gives you better leverage

teal jackal
#

ah

#

so you have to start really low first

#

and build your reputation up

#

thats what you mean

young peak
#

Yeah that's one way. You speak good English, and are in the states so you can charge higher than Indian/Chinese dudes

#

The other way is to get hand vetted for smaller sites like Pangea, so you can immediately start at 15$ an hr

#

Remember though, these sites will charge you based on your rank. It's like 50% of all earnings at first then it goes all the way down to 5%

#

At that point you have long-standing clients that'll pay out individually without going 3rd party. That's when you can just get paid directly

#

Saddest thing is though is that you get no healthcare, 401k match or anything. No HSA, nothing.

#

But that doesn't matter if homeboi in Dubai is giving you a 500k TC for tweaking his ugly dashboard

tbh now's a good time to crack open my algo textbook and reread recursion/dp.. I don't trust CTCI to be my only source

livid yew
#

Palantir is weird cuz for OA and Karat they ask purely graphs

and in HM they just throw you a 5 dimension DP

fossil jewel

I just cannot understand how to traverse trees lol

prime palm

i failed the interviews i got dp in yeah sure but

marsh sand
#

Some dude was asked a red-black merkle tree question in HM round

prime palm

it was so minimal

lament basin

toposort dfs is easier than kahn’s

fossil jewel

BFS only as an optimization after doing DFS

what can I talk about in a 1 hour motivation interview for swe at a financial advisor lol

#

i got it on tuesday next week and haven't really figured out what i can say when i have zero knowledge of finance

marsh sand
#

I mean zero knowledge is fine, but I guess research into what the company does, what tech stack you want to work with, and what you found interesting after reading like news articles

strange ore
#

practice some STARs, have a "5 year plan" response in mind that relates to their company, and read up a bit on their mission statement/culture

timber rock
#

my bloomberg interviewer asked me to explain what bonds are and i have never trusted financial companies to be normal again

faang sponsors so many people the cost of sponsoring another additional student is pretty low

i think the markets just fucked tbh

all tech took a hit because companies that foucsed on growth didnt generate profits

they just poured all their revenue into hiring and growing

now people want profits so everyone's gotta pivot

well i guess its how you define metaverse, i personally like to think the kind of metaverse these bigass companies want should never, ever come to fruition

but whatever the fuck they do in fortnite, whatever i guess, i mean epic literally cant let that die but theyve kept that game relevant somehow

#

vr games are cool though
but god damn people do not want to do office meetings in the metaverse zuck lol

#

iirc no one at meta actually wanted to fuckin try it out either

fossil jewel

Scam recognizes scam

#

The whole zuck metaverse obsession is a result of zuck being a fuckin idiot
He never bothered to diversify his company into different products after Facebook, he banked it all on the concept of the metaverse

#

And then eventually at some point sunk cost fallacy hit and next thing you know he's dumping billions into it trying to make it happen

I mean sure he bought Instagram and Whatsapp n other stuff probably but that's buying shit other people made

if you have a direct referal like i mean you got the referal person's cell number then yes it would be quick

but if you go reach out on LinkedIn and they take days to even accept your connection request then its a bummer

and it'd be remote so im trying to decide if its worth interviewing or not. i'm in the pipeline for google but i doubt anything will happen with that since theres so many interns still without return offers

livid yew
#

Well if you are a better fit, fuck the interns

azure zephyr

lol fair enough

but who knows, i think i should interview with oracle still

didn't even know that atlassian isn't profitable lmao fml

How you guys doing

hey guys, i have a situation. i have an offer from Company A, which I've already accepted and need to start working with them soon, but Company B comes along and it's my dream job. I interview with Company B, feedback is good, and i let them know about my other offer with Company A. But Company B takes forever to put together an offer, to the point where i probably need to start work with A before B can extend an offer.

At that point, would it be wise to tell B I've already started with A but still want to consider their offer? And would doing so wreck any negotiation power i might have?

ornate cliff
#

Take B and say bye bye to A

delicate cloak
#

well i don't have an offer from B yet

plush lily
#

Work at both

#

And decide

#

mm ok

chilly burrow
#

Ask the dude

#

He's on dis server

delicate cloak
#

well i've already informed them of some arbitrary deadline for A, and they won't be able to get an offer to me before then

#

and i can only pretend that i've managed to extend the deadline for A for so long

#

at some point do i tell them i'm declining A's offer and am waiting for theirs? even though that would sound really stupid? lol

fossil jewel
#

i mean if you start with A, you can push B's start date then jump ship

#

just be mindful of any sign on bonus you get

delicate cloak
#

i mean it affects my living arrangements and i want to be able to negotiate with B since they're notorious for lowballing

#

i don't want to have to move twice

#

i can live out of a suitcase for a few weeks while working at A and waiting for B but i'm not gonna do it for much longer than that

What's taking B so long

being self-motivated is a god damn superpower

those who can learn super effectively and efficiently without any extrinsic incentive are just built different and will always be more powerful than me

I hope to be better at self motivation

i just need structure when learning

#

tbh me at times

#

me last semester though

#

i was pretty motivated in spring 2022 because I found my courses interesting

azure zephyr
#

and im only taking two classes lmaoo

#

just one of them is actually crazy never take an AI class

teal jackal
#

I don't trust my university with AI LOL

azure zephyr
#

idk ive found it hard to be motivated since i finished my internship this summer

teal jackal
#

i took an AI class and it was a lazy rebadge of the berkley class

#

I lost motivation to leetcode though

azure zephyr
#

just confirmed that school is pointless besides getting that piece of paper

teal jackal
#

and work on projects

#

and Idrc about my classes

#

I just wanna start work

azure zephyr
#

yeah same

teal jackal
#

on the bright side, something I am looking forward to before starting work is going somewhere tropical for spring break this year
I usually don't but this year I'm associated with a friend group who is going somewhere for spring break

#

so I'm going

#

but thats about it

#

God it seems depressing to let the days fly by

#

so I need to motivate myself to make the most out of my time for learning and working on shit

#

that's the only way to slow down time for me

delicate cloak

maybe....perhaps....bc you have a lot of free time...consider going to therapy?

you kind of already showed your hand, so there's not much you can do tbh

jovial latch
#

cant lie on the resume 🙃

#

im literally only taking 2 evening classes that matter rn ah, ill probably send one more response

crystal delta
#

at the very least they seem like they still want you afterwards

#

so congrats

jovial latch
#

yea true but if theres anything ive discovered, that dont mean shit
whole network and past 2 companies i interned at were unable to give me an offer
so that whole crutch aint something i feel confident leaning on LMAO

crystal delta
#

when does your semester end?

#

when i was interviewing with them, they seemed to have a lot of different start dates

#

so if you want to secure an offer letter right now, maybe you should ask about them

jovial latch
#

mid/early may

crystal delta
#

i feel like that was within their available start dates, but i don't remember

jovial latch
#

not that it matters cause i dont give a shit bout these classes rn

#

nah it wasnt

#

think it said april?

crystal delta
#

hmm

jovial latch
#

not that i remember, all the job apps blur in mind

crystal delta
#

probably worth asking to hop on a call, i'm sure they wouldn't mind

jovial latch
#

i literally had a dream about getting an offer letter im actually going insane lol

#

hm a call

sonic coral
jovial latch
#

is that how that works?

#

if i do the whole 40 hours its still part time?

sonic coral
#

Like until you can prove you can work 40 hours a week with your class schedule they don’t know if it’s possible

livid yew
#

No part time is legally defined as under 40 I think

jovial latch
#

ohhhh i see
ok i can legitamtely prove that, i only have 2 evening classes, one on tues and one on thurs, both way after 5

livid yew

At least when I worked part time in college, they scheduled me at 39.5hrs over the summer. dogesmile

Yeah I had only 2 classes my last semester too lmao

Wish my college had cloud courses sadge

Or maybe 3

technically theres a senior d course but my client doesnt care and an async course so its 4, but only 2 require me to actually attend class

which are both after 5

Async programing?

ya word

sonic coral

And that you’ll be able to work a full 40 weeks

crystal delta
#

school is dumb

sonic coral
#

and yeah like techie says it’s possible they’ll see low course load as a red flag

jovial latch
#

oh i got a workaround for that, im a grad student so i can only take 12 credits

#

any more than id have to overload

sonic coral
#

It could go either way tbh

jovial latch
#

so technically im doing the max i can

sonic coral
#

But yeah it’s a risk

jovial latch
#

but it also happens to be light afl

livid yew
#

@crystal delta I am what is called a "beta male" KEKW_RECESSION_EDITION

sonic coral
#

Tbh most likely what it is they want someone with a guaranteed degree

#

Not someone who has a chance of flunking their last sem and delaying graduation

#

Obv you prob won’t but they don’t know that

jovial latch
#

would showing an unofficial transcript help with that you think? undergrad gpa is 3.6 and masters is 3.8
the only bad thing on there is that i got a C in concurrency

#

either way, better to communicate then to not, so ill try

sonic coral
#

You know the saying past performance isn’t indicative of future returns

#

They don’t know if you might just become a crackhead or something and drop out

Like extreme example lol but I’m just trying to play devils advocate
