I should actually research that lmao
fr
yeah if you refer , and they get accepted and join then yes
and take offer*
yeah

Realistically if @livid yew refers people from here, Comcast is gonna get a lot of reneges once they get a better offer and Techie is gonna be banned from the referral program 
layoffs should be illegal 
accept offer then reject bc you got better one
you accept an offer then you go and accept another offer , and then decline the very first offer.
basically reverse rescind
I did not know that was allowed lol
america’s labor is at will
Where have you been when people have been asking for renege templates 
oh is that what that term means
bro I would just not accept the offer to begin with lmao

either parties can be like peace out
sometimes you don’t know though
clearly I have been doing this job thing wrong for a while 
what if other companies don’t work out

sure companies spent money to get you the offer, but i’m sure they find back ups
for individuals, a lot relies on the job not being rescinded
you guys without jobs
me over here trying to figure out how to move money lmao
Fidelity UI is a cluster fuck
Not surprising
Try asking ChatGPT
write yourself a check

ChatGPT:
To transfer money to a different account in Fidelity, you can use the Fidelity website or mobile app. Here are the steps to do so:
Log in to your Fidelity account.
Navigate to the "Transfer & Pay" section and select "Transfer Money."
Select the account you want to transfer money from and the account you want to transfer money to.
Enter the amount you want to transfer and the date you want the transfer to occur.
Review and confirm the details of the transfer.
Submit the transfer request.
It's important to note that you may need to verify the account you are transferring money to by providing additional information. Also, you might be subject to certain limitations on the amount or frequency of money transfers, depending on your account type.
move it to my bank account
i will move it back to yours

Pshh! Move it to my account and I'll double it before moving it back to yours
deal!
Did anyone get the cooking recipe decomp for palantir lmao

Cooking recipe?
I used to feel this way too, but consider the ceos abusing h1b workers working 80 hours, the staff google employees getting fired for no reason, the 10k+ interns who were misled and didn’t get return offers, and the companies rescinding accepted job offers (sometimes 1 month out and with visa sponsorship). It’s a two way street
apparently one of the prompts is like "grandma loves to cook. given ingredients in refrigerator, build a system to improve grandma's life"
just some web crawling + index building + searching + recommendation system design I think
while keeping accessibility issues in mind since we're dealing with elderly here
"some"
ahahahaha the new grad sys design interviews dont like ask too deep into knowledge
Identifying user use cases, components, and how they all come together is enough I think
but yea these interviews are difficult since thinking about all of these cases can take long
probs did end up getting 200-300K+ and left the server 😦 though I think only trading firms pay that much
Lmao did you get that
Nope but I’m just preparing some of them
Not sure if that’s a real prompt but I can see that happening at palantir decomp ahahahah
230k first year + 200k recurring
(For SWE)
damn you’re still in. the loop with palantir @marsh sand
My HM is next week haha all SWE hiring managers were out of office this week apparently
good luck
(and I’m based in London so technically our process is 1-2 months later compared to US)
Thanks so much! Hope to bring you guys back some good news
Btw is anyone else still in process for bloomberg LOL
Thats crazy dude
Bruh
Just checking something. Can all those who’re through to the flexport final react to this message.
sup
@livid yew I see DN in your future
We went to blind
Ahahaha did u get it
No I'm saying this sounds hard
Which flavor did you have??
soy garlic and sweet n spicy
CATNUM
SOY
my discord name used to be soymilk
bc this
why you surprised
Can someone suggest good OOD resources?
by far my favorite; good choice good choice
is it better to grind 75 order by topic?
Where’d you go bbq?
pretty good yeah
they give you kimchi and salad
then we got boneless and it came with fries
How are the fries
Oooh
salad is good too
Lowkey considering doordashing em rn lmao
the boneless chicken for large is 25 which is enough for 2 people
Wings and drums for 15 is mad solid
i recommend going by topic until u get comfortable with all the topics. and then stop doing it by topic
half the challenge in interviews is figuring out what topic the q is
me today
Ohhh I think I know which one you went to lol
It’s the one with the red bean filling right
Located in the heart of NYC's Chinatown / Little Italy and Miami Wynwood, Taiyaki NYC excels with its dedication to fun matcha green tea and black sesame ice cream. We're known for our taiyaki fish-shaped ice cream cones that blend in perfect harmony with artisan flavors of soft serve ice cream.
nah i just had chocolate
@cedar nebula
But yeah that’s the one
ngl cheating in hackathons is stupid
There’s also a mad nice rolled ice cream place in LES very close to chinatown
people do it though
hackathons are kinda annoying
2 (not even all 48h) days is short period of time
and expecting people to pull an allnighter and not sleep is toxic
Is anyone doing pmg on-site in feburary?
MLH is investigating 
i wish MLH would do more to investigate
i remember this girl called out this group that would keep copying their ideas from other hackathons and winning
but they got the prizes prior ofc
It’s a ducking hackathon they’re always memes anyway
yep
i only did hackathons to have stuff on resume
but unless i really wanna try getting a prize, im not doing anymore
auto-correct 
what fucking hackathons give macbooks as prizes holy shit
i got a mechanical keyboard from winning one and i thought it was sick as shit lol
some do, i seen one with iphones, ps5 and switch as well
bruh, idk if you heard of monday.com
but they had a hackthon
and the prize was a .... ||TESLA||
oh gee i wonder why tech companies laying off now
though said prizes are probably helping them with taxes and cost less than a swe
I went to one that gave out macbooks for first place
it was a pretty big hackathon though
yeah, im sure the amount of people scales with the value of the prizes
i mean it depends on sponsors too ya know
yeah, the idea of hackathons is reeally cool, but in reality staying up and working on this shit is actually so miserable
unfortunate
I did some hackathons back in Fresh/Soph year
Hey @fossil jewel
hi!
TOXIC ASF
how else are you gonna trick college students into thinking working long hours is fine
honestly i didnt really think about it but the whole thing just encourages the idea of crunch and working long ass hours and putting your life aside
i only did the stay up thing once
hated it and was miserable i did most of the work
the next couple of times i only submitted for swag
and just resume projects
I only did one hackathon. Didn’t stay up the whole time though. I actually slept.
yeah the others i'd sleep normally in
one of them i only signed up and never joined disc to get swag
they gave me socks, sticks and a cute pin
all of which were very cute
too bad i dont put stickers on my laptop
I was going to do a second one this past Fall but I was too burnt out from recruiting.
Needed all the time to maintain my a somewhat healthy balance of school, applying, LC and personal enjoyment.
hell ye
i just have mad tees from just signing up 💀
no more though
in person hackathons
@rain patio free slum
how do hackathons even work really, you just spend like a buncha hours trying to come up with some product for some thing right
he is free
In our hearts?
cant imagine going to a place with a bunch of cs majors
i remember seeing ben awad saying one hackathon they gave deodorant as swag
💀
ok maybe im too cynical but like, its free fuckin labor
Do ppl actually not shower? lmao
it is
i think EE is worse in the hygeine dept
I feel disgusting after a day even if I didn’t go outside
i sat behind someone(s) in a cs class where my nose was hurting me
buncha cs people definitely dont keep themselves clean
smell assaulted my nose
bruh i dealt with both
💀
its not everyone thats stinky
but a few that do
also i see some wearing the same hoodie, tee, and jeans
dont talk about broke, they owned pc's with top of the line gpu's
CompE ?
just hit 100 lc whats the next checkpoint? 10,000?
I mean I wear relatively the same clothes each week. Only once though and then I wash it.
I find it weird to wear shirts for more than a day.
yeah as long as they're clean thats ok
@fossil jewel
some people struggle with hygiene tho
I probably do 2 loads of laundry per week lmao
like @pulsar mural
and some days shower twice
like @livid yew



yeah some SWEs somehow skipped hygiene and cooking growing up. like basic life skills
🦝
imagine cooking I was told
would cook for me 
meestaa raccoon
you cannot rely on work food bro
I mean would you just not eat on weekend 
my G friends basically don’t buy food 
I guess
i heard google food wasnt well seasoned, if i ever work at big G, im gonna bring my own seasonings
its free so cant complain
I keep a bottle of my favorite hot sauce in my desk at work
Tho I think they may have changed their food stuff? Or what that fb? Idk
so yeah
recession is bullshit
most days I pack lunch 
I buy lunch 90% of days. the other 10% I skip 
i used to get the cafeteria food in internship
weird flex
breakfast for me is like always the same
- 2 eggs
- coffee
- banana
- sometimes yogurt
-sometimes a bread
I got an offer from a company located in San Jose and TC is 125,000. Dec 2022 new grad, position is System Software Engineer. Recruiter asked me if I want to accept or negotiate further, but I have no idea what average is looking like in CA (based on online search, the average range was way too broad). I'm from Atlanta, never been to west coast. Advice from anyone around the area would greatly be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
@fossil jewel @pulsar mural I WANT TO ADD CATNUM HERE
WHAT DO I CALL IT
CATMONCH
u need to ask permission from Joey before adding emotes
You can try negotiating but you don’t have much leverage without other offers. 125 is OK, but I’d be more worried if your base covers your expected life style/don’t rely on bonuses & stock
yes thats what i saved it as in my server
I mean you might be able to get another 5k
meh optimize TC is fine, but economy is pepega rn
but without decent competing offers, you cant do much





MEESTA RAGOOON
is that from taco bell
🍔
WE HAVE IF
meh ml eng is wacky, if ur interested sure. personally I think almost all interesting ML stuff has hard academic requirements lol
Thanks for the reply! They told me to come up with an exact expected amount if I wanted to negotiate, I should def look into averages more before sending a follow up. I heard San Jose has a much higher cost of living than ATL 😢
NEW EMOJI
usually an asian resturant
they have crab ragoon but its cheese usually
very delish

COL def higher, but yea comp ranges are huge, so lots of # probably aren’t realistic if they’re offering you 125
finding a SO 
understandable tho
I plan on moving around a bit while I’m young








it’s me
I can't use it cuz no nitro

does someone wanna be nice and give me a measly ||year|| of nitro
👉 👈
Are you a NEU student?
Just took a guess cause I’m from the same Uni
this is very cute wtf

at least you got rejected
microsoft really be rejecting on a
is a recruiter and a technical recruiter same?










flexport closed their new grad apps this is a bad sign for those of us in the pipeline lol rip




Why’s it a bad sign tho

oh you sweet summer child lol

Has anybody did the JPmogan chase 2023 April cohort HireView interview? What's the process after that
Enlighten me 🙏
🥕
yeah I am pretty sure they are gonna pull this off with us too
it's happened to me enough times where the online app closing = no more interest in hiring for that role
It's usually literally never a good sign
next week about to v interesting

may next week bring us good news

anyone know if grokking system designs is worth it?
good luck lol
i know my weekend is over when i get that untapped email
unemployed weekend is still a weekend
the week is job apps lc personal projs and harassing tech recruiters on linkedin
you're not alone bro. chin up
It do be like that, I've been thinking about picking up a hobby to meet people
Download every dating app to meet new people maybe
That’ll just make him feel more depressed and lonely
I mean the 20% layoffs was an even worse sign imo
I accepted an offer last November, initially there was frequent contact for things to be signed , info from me to decide team, etc… but now it’s been almost 2 months with no contact, and they haven’t let me know the team I’ll be on yet. Position starts in July. At what point can I send them an email and say something like, ‘just checking in, is there anything I can be doing now to help prepare’ or something of that nature ?
Also is the lack of contact for an extended period typical ?
Typical for such a big gap between signing the offer and the start date
I'd just email now and keep in touch
yeah i would email
email em yo, you wanna definitely make sure things are in sync, overcommunication never killed anyone
I mean yeah but I asked that to my EM and he had a pretty good answer for that
the 20% layoff if anything is good news for engineering
mcDonalds
🇫
Bloomberg
really?
The company uses the advantage of being private to expand during market downturns, says former long-term employee
yet they won't accept one of my twelve email apps 
true tbh
I mean not all 1000 are for engineers
And only a small fraction would be entry level anyway
bagh
I want Bloomberg 
FFS
i mean
they have a broken hiring process tbh
like the most random shit is happening at bb , people getting ghosted , interviewers not showing up etc
I mean WM ghosted me and interviewer didn’t show as well last season. It’s not like WM was hiring that much.
Now you have BB which has been getting a probably larger amount of applications than normal.
what's WM
oh...looks like kuna is not the only one 
Walmart
WM is actually Waste Management
Lol
some of yall know
well are they hiring?
Tbh they probably do need devs
i saw ryder
trucking management
it was on ripplematch but ages ago
maybe still open
Ryder leases trucks to a bunch of companies and people
ye
who's ur valentines date?
Do they dispose of the code that I wrote?
Valentine's is overrated anyway! 
whose urs?
ChatGPT 
the recruiter that never responds to my emails obviously

Facts I've never had a valentine
Never did anything lol

weez mutts
I actually have a date this valentine lol
and by date I mean phone screen with veeva recruiter
Why dosent anyone here in this server have an actual date...?
brids with the same feather flock together...

Because we love ourselves and that's enough

I had one last year. she cheated on me. love is shit ngl
can't reject me if I withdraw my app first
I hope you find someone who treats you with lots of love this year 
We lonely as shit


stop it sana
just stop
bannable offence


Is the veeva position - associate software engineer master’s grad?
apple
banana
Miss me with that 😮💨
ive got a name-dropping urge

this is why i dont date(well, also that i am highly undesirable as a person)
sorry man
it sucks to have that shit happen
yeah makes your self worth drop to zero
But we're stronger than that😤
just had palantir HM
aced my decomp and i think interviewer liked my behavioral
was told I'd hear back in about a week so crossing my fingers
(Anyone want to share timeline of Palantir's process?)
gl m8
good luck to everyone may your inboxes be blessed this week
Has anyone interviewed with SAP? What do they ask in the tech interview?
man doxxed his interviewer
And I'm your recruiter, best of luck!
hello, i am keviv tiwari. vivek is my brother.... i heard hes interviewing someone here today... can you all let him know to tell vivek to call his mother? we miss him dearly....
I‘m vivek's cousin Keviv Irawit, Vivek actually hates being doxxed and I'm telling him about this
Cool last name
bro’s linkedin got flooded
hes gonna be very surprised to wake up to 1000 new profile views
average CSCD user's social skills: doxxes own interviewer
Hey, I’m CEO of Apple. No DMs.
its 12pm, he should aready be awake
can i dm?
Has anyone interviewed with Comcast? What do they ask in the tech interview? My interviewer is Techie, anyone interviewed by him?
Techie3445? he's shopping today so you might have to reschedule
ok we'll imessage 💀 
how tf did you send this message at 12 exactly
yeah me , techie asked me LRU cache and LFU cache
I would love for my interviewers to ask me these two questions 🥹
Imagine if there was a website similar to rate my professor but instead of professor it's interviewers at different companies
How are we doing today losers
losing...
ratemyinterviewer
bet lets start it bro
we need inital investments
Fuck that
Techie you're too down for shitty ideas kek
Good
bro think about it
it could be really smart
then we can predict the types of questions they might ask
Yeah smart until now all your dataset consists of is personal info of SWEs and you get a lawsuit lmao
Also how can you guarantee they'll keep interviewing people
only show like the first letter of their name
hmm that'd be against the point tbh. I think what you're explaining is basically just top tagged LC
bro SWEs dont care enough to follow thru with a lawsuit 
does the top tagged LC even work?
Alright fair tbh
you just hope by then you've sold the business to some bozo and made an exit
Im gna sue ur ass
I have never bothered paying for LC prem
Yeah Bloomberg and Meta were tit for tat
cap
I refuse to believe they ask straight LC word-for-word and pay that much
its not possible
they pretty much do
otherwise the interviewers are all dumb fucks
Oh yeah love it when I make a shady business, then sell it and now I'm absolved of all crime 
change your name
start a new life
not yogi but yigo
Sorry I’m deleting the interviewer’s name
They aren't dumb just lazy
Lol did you hear about that Frank financial aid shit
No? What is that?
Lmao it literally is like an episode of Silicon Valley
are they? don't you have to pick from a pool of qs?
Dude made a financial aid app for like easy fafsa or some shit, had like 5m+ users and sold it to J.P. Morgan for like 100M
However now apparently 99% of the users are actually bots
oh that girl lmaooo
So J.P. Morgan is sueing the founder
Sometimes you do, sometimes you build your own questions. At Bloomberg it's legit just a test bank, but at G we're more flexible to make our own Qs
And the founder is countersueing
Oh brooooo I heard about that
20000 IQ rbh
how do u think so many of us got bb smh
just grind tagged 4head
hm idk if i like that
Lmao yeah she paid like 20k to some data science professor to create fake users 
Only had like 500 real ones
she couldve paid me instead
It was so fuckin funny too because JPMC basically only bought it as a 100M mailing list to a bunch of college students
Honestly I don't think they should win the lawsuit
If you're lazy and dumb enough to not check these things then that's your own fault..
not my field
I forget where I read this but the initial software developer who worked on it wouldn't fake the users, so she paid a prof. like 25k? to populate the database with users instead
How come
Yeah she paid a DS prof like 20k or something to just duplicate existing profiles with fake emails lmao
well now you should you can get sswe 
if its not team specific hiring then some people can have easy af interviews and others get super hard ones for a common role
which seems unfair to me
just the way life goes tbh
I assumed BB outsourced everything to India
I agree though that LC def ain't an answer but just bandaid until we find a better solution
The current best solution is to spend the human resources in developing team specific questions for interviews
sure but id try to give a more fair interview, just me ig
i could ask candidates obsure lc and cf questions but whats the point
You'd be ruining lives, which is why I'm hesitant to sign up as an interviewer
At the same time though it's kind of up to us to cover those edge cases as an interviewee
Trust me if I didn't get any offers, I'd be on the rope
I told an interviewer "This is fucked and stupid" to his face, needless to say I did not pass
well if ur a fair interviewer you'd have less guilt to deal with :^)
their skill issue, not ur issue
I think the most fair is sticking to top tagged then I guess
Good start woke up to 5 automated rejections
just trying to justify why some companies take from a pool
though i think my favorite processes are from hfts and apple since interviews feel more specific to the position
Nice let's crank it up to 10 
Idk about apple but hfts were fucking hard man
at least it felt more practical to me lol

2024 I will finally apply to some HFTs
Cit and HRT gave me some wacko interviews. IMC legit just fed me negatives red horses
hm i had p good experiences with a lot of them
some asked unnecessary lc hards but i liked the questions on c++ and cs fundamentals
Naw it felt too brainy for me. Like how often would I need to reconstruct C standard library functions?
yeah ig some interviews r kinda dumb
i know the one ur talking abt though and i dont think its toooooo irrelevant
Yo speaking of scammy startups
like writing your own memory arena is a thing
Wanna join mine? 
Have you guys heard of that dude Nikita bier
Bro you read too much news
join us at the bottom rob
Idk who that is
Nah this was from an atrioc YT video 
But the story is actually mad fuckin funny
Dude made this app tbh back in 2017, sold it to FB for like 30m
Yeah I guess. It took me a minute to figure it out though. That was my Citadel interview and I mean I got an offer but I'd still probably fail 9/10
Techie we're all cracked humans 

Wait so did he get a lawsuit?
I am a failed lab experiment
No lol
He founded both apps
Discord for some fuckin reason bought the second one
maybe theyre not looking for perfect implementation?
He could probably make a third and G would buy it lol
just wanna see you sorta know what happens under the hood
They’re both apps for high schoolers where you anonymously rate your friends lmao
See that's what I'd think but my architectural knowledge dwindles with time
Also the day after he sold the second one in 2022 (called Gas) he put out a tweet saying “I have an idea for an app”
Oh wait actually tbh sold for 100m to fb lmao
But still a 1/10 the price for effectively the same app is fuckin hilarious
Is this just one guy?
I think it was like a handful but he was the main founder / spokesperson
Gas will remain a standalone app at Discord.
Just look at these two lmao
Same fuckin app 
Dude might’ve just changed up the ui slightly
But this is what I mean by your app / idea / tech means jack shit in startup land
It’s all about your connections and pitch
Clearly this dude had vc connections since he got funding for both and was able to sell his first app to fb so he leveraged his existing network to get the second app up and running and get discord interested for an exit
lucky bastard
same vibes as that dude making million+ from gamestop
Anyone here in Bloomberg London pipeline?
So when zuck does the exact same thing he gets suspended from Harvard
And this guy be out here selling the same app for millions
Wow
Im gna be happy if i have $50 million
Thats the goal

I'd be happy with 3-5mil
Who asked

49 m and you're a peasant
good old fuckin start up culture
My fuck you money goal is around 10-20mil
Honestly I can’t understand numbers that high 
I expect like a 4% return every year? So around 400-800k is where I'd live lavish and be comfy
10 mil is a good goal
The concept that helps me is flights.
0-50k is you can't tangibly afford flights without some extreme lifestyle commitments.
50-100k is you can get an economy ticket but it'll feel like a lot for an international flight
100-200k is where flights feel less burdensome and you can take basically one a year
200-400k is where you start dabbling into economy+, comfortable seats, meals etc
400k+ is first class tickets n shit
Anything above a mil in TC and you're in jet/private flight territory
Aight will re read when I get there 
My tc is negative
ngl even if I made 400k+ I wouldn't get first class I can't ever justify spending that kind of money lol
definitely not in domestic at least
Yeah most of the flights I'm thinking about are from US to Asia which is where I'm from
international first class is still fine since it's a long flight
That's because you don't have 10-20mil generating 400-800k a year. Trust me, when it comes to that point you will adopt certain lifestyle habits
I'm expecting myself to shill out 3-4 mil for a mansion back home, one supercar and just the overall works
Kids gonna 100% have a trust fund
You'll want more. It's best to prepare yourself mentally now, so you can do the things you can to help your lifestyle inflation
I learned this the hard way ngl. I wanted nothing expect a meh job, a meh apartment with a gaming set up
All I wanted was a good enough PC to run my games with decent internet speed
Little things change and slowly I see my own worth, then one thing leads to another I have none of the new things I want and I have no idea how to get there
If my wife wasn't there to push me up, idk where I'd be
Then I started to build myself mentally in prep for my life. I started working out, kicking away toxic friends, building a good network, preparing LC/resume, doing freelance etc
I have proper people I can call my clientele now lmao, isn't that nuts? Idk about you but Yogi 5 years ago wouldn't believe me if I said I have and do the things I do today
id fs go first class if i could comfortably afford it
as a fuck you to all the haters 💯
(jk id at most go business lmao)
Curious. why not have your kids "earn" their money?
I mean I'm sure they'd live to earn their own money. I'm just helping them start. I'm not ambitious enough to consider 20 mil as an entire lifetimes sum for my kid but it's enough for them to be something bigger than what I was
Also I'm not putting 20 mil in the fund, it'll prob be like 2-3 mil in today's standards
GATTI
Enough for college, a down payment on a good house or apartment and some left over for ventures, savings, emergency etc
Damn imagine affording a house
Just keep paying overcharged rent the rest of my life lol
Born in the wrong generation for that
🙃
my generation got fucked hard
like fuck i was born in 2000 why has there been so much crap in the last 2 decades
Anyone who had the Flexport final recently? How was it?

a Economy ticket across the US is like $200-500
why you all flying outside the US so often lmao


what is the 2023_grad_process bot for?
anyone tryna use their 400k salary to scoop up a used bmw tho
i swear all new car payments are undoable if you're making less than 100k a year
It's for the sawcon function to work properly
Just don't buy a trash bmw
bmw m2 2018 - 2021
Garbage car
or 440i gran coupe
automatic L for saying that
My guy that car is overpriced as shit
Personally I'm not picking a bmw period but
alright, whats ur pick in general then
Honda civic 
good cars
Idk for super cars it's a McLaren?
racing? 
In general for a car I'd reasonably own, I'm gonna have to roll with the 2022 range rover
gotta drive that b4 it gets jacked 
You into EVs at all?
I'm contemplating on putting some money down for a tesla
Since it just got cheaper
you can set a custom horn on a tesla lmao
just saw vid where the horn was like “move bitch get out the way”
Can you give me a few reasons?
Aside from the gap, padding etc
Like technical, something that'd be shitty to have
if you live in a cold area evs arent worth
i heard the tesla's have a huge issue with their heat pumps in below -5 degree weather that they're still trying to mitigate
fixing it is gonna be super expensive if you're not on warranty since you have to do it through the dealer, and the parts are only made by tesla
Hmm that sucks I live in Seattle so that might be sussu
yeah i was thinking the same if i stayed out in vancouver
had a whole list of reasons to convince my dad but i deleted than forgot it
lets see, their quality control and customer service is notoriously bad, meaning if you do run into a problem with the car you're screwed
im not gonna talk about FSD cause thats not something you have to do, but that shit should be illegal in its current state
the whole maintenace thing he mentioned above
software updates have literally bricked people's teslas, when you pay for a car it should fucking work mechanically lol
and thats the thing right, the whole things fuckin SAAS do you really own that shit
^^^^ yeah thats fucked
its like paying full price for a car on a subscription service
"missed ur monthly payments" guess you shouldnt have chosen to drive on the freeway
Does flexport call to reject
tbh just drop your cash on an ICE car that you like, it'll prob last longer and you wont have to deal with all that shit
cept if its a land/range rover product 💀
idk buy a japanese car or something, shit lasts
or a volvo idfk
the closest i get to cars is need for speed
you see the new kona N
thats the obtainable next car rn
nah i havent
bagh i gotta get back into nfs unbound
its aight
but i quit cause an ai driver pushed me into a traffic car that popped up from nothing right in front of me, than i respawned into another car wrecking me than i lost $60k in game
rip it's one more interview
tired of doing these interviews man
Hiring manager round?
yeah culture fit stuff
which is weird because they told me the onsite is the final interview
Yo I think you got in
I mean it does say "next steps: culture fit interview" on the invite so I don't think so?
My recruiter told me that only if you’re selected you’ll gave a brief talk with the HM
weird because they are phrasing it like an interview
which would indicate that there is a pass/fail to this
Yeah as much as I know my recruiter told me the hm round is like a formality not kidding
anyone know anything about cloudflare stream?
oof lets hope so. good luck for yours
Im grabbing a wrx for my next car
goodluck not blowing your motor after 30k miles
Lol. Hoping the new ones are more robust
only with forged internals
Did i miss a conversation about cars?
I'm planning on buying a hot hatch in 2025 and my top 4 choices are in order of price(all are manual transmission and I intend on buying a manual transmission car)
Elantra N(Cheapest)
Civic type r/corolla gr(total wildcard with all the markups nowadays)
Golf R
The Golf R has the superior powertrain but apparently the driving experience feels dead
I'd love to get the WRX STI...if they were still being built
I'll try my hand at getting a Corolla GR, assuming I'm lucky with pricing
Will drive 300 miles away to another dealer just to get one
Hyundai N is goated
Battery degradation too, also early model Model S sedans burn through their motors really quickly
but all in all Tesla isn't too bad
I'd get one if I already had a manual transmission sports car
Dude get a Focus RS
Best hot hatch ever offered in the US
I was tbinking of getting a Model 3 but theyre building a track here on Oahu so im grabbing a WRX
where they at new
Damn they barely depreciated
like no depreciation at all
Hmmm focus RS can be considered, theyre still under 40k
I can still consider a used Focus RS or WRX STI
I got that honda odyssey EX-L that used to be my mom's, got a tv in the back, taking that wherever I go next
the manual transmission is dead in 10 years either way so buying a new manual transmission car for the sake of sending a message to the car industry is pointless
I want a manual for my own sake
how old is it? minivans are epic
I think I'm gonna try my best to get a Corolla GR under $45k tbh
2007 225k miles, backed it into a pole last month and I didn't even care
the Corolla GR checks every box, manual trans, motorsports oriented, awd
just the interior is a bit austere
im learning to drive currently and my instructor got a camry
i like how sturdy it feels
I got to drive a Corolla when I was in driving school
my family had a honda accord
fuckin loved that thing, and i hate driving
my family has 2 mazda cars now cause my dad really likes mazda now for some reason
Not gonna find one under $60k at least
idk im not a car guy
i have to be MAD lucky to pull that off
toyota isnt making enough of them
Yeah. They're gonna be mad money
Case and point the GR Supra Manual
Nissan Z
Im just gonna grab a WRX and mod the shit out of it
i wonder why automakers don't increase production on these sports models when they know how in demand they are
so they can charge more and save on manufacturing costs
i think?
i imagine sport car parts are expensive to build
It's relative demand though
Yeah ecactly
Not enough enthusiasts sadly
Everyone buying electric or crossovers
which is true, in this economy we all gotta be frugal, unless we intentionally want a sports car we're getting a midsized crossover for 40k, not a sports hatch
oh man i have opinions on EV's
theres so many issues with how the govt is handling promoting EV's
subsidies seem like a money sink
punishing automakers for not selling enough EVs makes no sense since it's the consumer's choice
i think theres like a consumer rebate if they buy an EV, except it makes no difference cause all the car companies just raised their car prices by that amount
and mind you car companies are just making EV's for the sake of EV
youd expect EV's to be standard consumer sedans n small compact shit, given the whole point
but no theyre just making their biggest cars EV's
However yeah. Toyota could easily make more and they would all sell
Idk why they arent making more
you cant tell me a ford f-150 is good for towns and the environment just because its electric
I think with Toyota I genuinely don't get why they're gatekeeping the GR so hard
"only 2000 being allocated this year"
Anyone have a spare Blind account?
They also might just make more for next model year
I can help u pull it up if u need
Toyota's probably gonna test the waters this year and see how long the waitlists get
then decide production numbers
Nothing in particular, but thanks!
Well now that I'm considering lightly used I have a lot more choice
wish toyota cars were in the new nfs game, for some reason they refused
Yeah. Toyota is doing super well though. Been selling so many Supras and GR86s
All the GR Corollas for Oahu are already reserved lmao
If they come out with more, i would instantly trade in my WRX
I have a Nissan Leaf right now
im planning on buying a car early 2025
I used to have a Focus ST
Yeah fair
I didnt care about having a sports car on island cause we didnt have a track
But now they're building one lol
shit where tf
Only bad thing about Oahu is we cant get ethanol here
oh
So cant do an e85 tune
But could prob still get a lot out if stock motor with forged internals and support mods
Hoping for around 400hp
have y'all heard of the taliban building a supercar out of a toyota corolla engine
I have lol
at first i thought it was funny but then i thought about it and to even do something like that requires skill id think
its not like they have powerful engines
I mean, not a super car, but Lotus ysed to use the ecoboost straight 4
lotus is really good
does oahu have good fun roads?
better than NJ roads i imagine
new england has some really fun roads in vermont and new hampshire
fun to drive in any car
having fun in a car is 60% personal attitude, 15% transmission, 15% what car you bring, 10% tires
i pulled those numbers out of my ass
i mean, i dont got that 60% so it aint far off
but anyways yeah the most fun when driving is just enjoying driving for the sake of it
i like trains
trains are lit
yeah that's why most of my cars have only been manual
so much more fun to drive
my first car was like. a 1994 honda prelude manual and it was my first manual car. i stalled so much driving it back lol
im so excited to have a manual car again though
Bro Honda transmissions are indestructible
truly high quality clutches
I stalled my dads old honda all the time
and never gave me any shit for it
haha that's great
yeah im interested to try out a subaru
never drove them before
Good experience with honda makes me consider the civic type r
I've never driven a subaru either
ive hears subaru is good, but then you barely see the average person driving em around
dunno
the Golf R has the most powerful drivetrain of all hot hatches though
but the Golf R's clutch is extremely unreliable
like
the main point of failrue on them
i would like a type r if it were awd
but the fact that it's fwd just sucks
like all the competitors have awd
if I got a Golf R though, I'd make the most of the clutch and if it starts slipping oh well
Time to get an aftermarket clutch with 450lb/ft torque ratings
