[teal jackal]

yakhuna found love

[fossil jewel]

nice

[green pendant]

sometimes I wonder, 2024 ng listings will probably be on the more conservative side since companies don't want to risk overhiring again. Plus all of 2024 grads plus many unemployed/underemployed 2023 grads will apply for them too. when tf is the industry gonna get back up on its feet lol

[rain patio]

never

[teal jackal]

hiring like crazy

will it ever come back

just last year every company was giving away offers

[fossil jewel]

bc they had tunnel vision and thought growth was permanent

[lyric cosmos]

Anyone had experience with interviewing for Software Engineer I at Mastercard Launch program?

[jovial latch]

oh theres hte fuckin automated GM rejection

what the fuck i aced the tech assessment

[green pendant]

Would y'all rather do nothing for 6 months/graduate late, or work as a swe on outdated tech at some random no name company?

[jovial latch]

you're asking a choice between nothing and not nothing

doing something is always going to be better than nothing

[green pendant]

What about graduating late though? Especially if you get to take a good class and maybe a project or two

[jovial latch]

that wouldnt impact your job searching or make you stand out more

[rain patio]

id rather take the job

you have the opportunity to be employed in this market

[jovial latch]

classes mean so fucking little and i kinda hate that i put in the effort to get a masters degree while all my friends with bachelors were able to get full time offers from their internships

while i couldnt cause of a whole deal of bad luck

college classes do absolutely nothing

all anyone cares about is work experience

no one 'but actually' me im exaggerating to make a point

[rain patio]

if you wanna learn stuff you can also do it after work

i found there's a lot more free time working FT than studying 24/7 during uni

i kind of got the strat pre layoffs

do an extra internship and delay grad for potentially better prospects
but if you have something lined up rn and don't take it, how do you know it'll look any better later? and you won't have that safety net then

[jovial latch]

ive been thinking of applying to internships out of sheer desperation

[rain patio]

if you're graduating this may/june i think a lot of places wont interview you

[jovial latch]

🙃

yea fuck me

my college is doing a career fair but bets are lotta these damn companies are just here to advertise

especially since its virtual

[rain patio]

virtual fairs suck fr

[jovial latch]

logistics are better this way
in person fair last fall, big ass line, waited 1-2 hours outside, got in, spent 4-5 hours inside waiting in more lines, talked to ~10 compaines, sent resumes, emailed recruiters, heard from no one

virtual i can sit there and be content with the fact that im not standing in a line for hours and that nothing will come of it

on a completely unrelated note my annoyance for international grad students increased after that in person career fair

[rain patio]

why

[jovial latch]

90% of the people there were grad students and honestly it just really bothered me

[rain patio]

cant relate

[jovial latch]

i couldnt tell ya why to be honest

[rain patio]

i have my own biases but don't want to be political

[jovial latch]

but here the international grad students will cheat and are usually pretty dumb and just care bout doign whatever to get the passing grade

[rain patio]

ehhhhhhhhhhh

[jovial latch]

they'll literally copy shit from chat gpt and not change it so you end up with shit like this

granted, only my experience

[rain patio]

bit of a blanket statement imo

i have mad respect for some of them

[jovial latch]

obviously theres decent ones

[rain patio]

and what you said i feel like can be said for so many undergrad students

[jovial latch]

i dont they're entirely at fault though, lot of the grad cs courses here have no prereqs which i suspect is intentional

[rain patio]

its not rly an international vs noninternational thing

everyone just tries to game the system

[peak ferry]

^^ my 2c is that there are some differences of this nature, but also kekw domestic students are plenty dumb/academically dishonest

[jovial latch]

lotta dumb people in general i guess

but then they end up with jobs and i didnt so what does that say about me lol

[rain patio]

i dont think people are dumb

its just society has failed us all

everyone thinks they're gonna be the next ninja or pokimane

[peak ferry]

charisma ❌
aesthetics ❌
gaming skills ❌
can type funny symbols kinda ok ✅

[rain patio]

kinda wanted to elaborate on this, what i mean is i feel like people just don't apply themselves

or maybe im diffy

[jovial latch]

then you have people who apply themselves way too hard doing hackathons n nonstop cs stuff

those kinda people always annoyed me a bit

cause thats the kinda people comapnies want

[rain patio]

yea i hate those tryhards fr

[peak ferry]

difference between can't, and can, but are unwilling to, is largely immaterial to me-- can't force someone to care (more than what we try to do with the carrot and the stick of the educational system & job markets)

plus theres just that feeling you get in your soul when you're IQ gapped

[jovial latch]

you know what annoyed is too light a word i hate em

[raw echo]

😐 if ppl like doing cs why hate on them lol

[jovial latch]

yea you can like something, thats fine, but dont go doing something non stop all the fuckin time cause then the implication is if you arent doing that shit and god forbid you have a work life balance, that looks worse to companies

[rain patio]

yeah but i think part of it is culture

back then i think people were more realistic

[jovial latch]

that and i dont get how people enjoy those hackathons that last all day

[raw echo]

that seems misdirected, it seems like companies r the true problem not the people who just enjoy doing cs stuff ?

[rain patio]

or w/e idk maybe they just had to be a certain way to adapt to tough times

[jovial latch]

i think a part of it is me failing to comprehend how people find doing leetcode type shit or long hackathons fun

[jovial latch]

but it does set an expectation that the 'ideal' candidate would do this stuff

[raw echo]

i used to like doing hackathos when I was younger, its fun when you get to visit a new city and build some cool stuff imo

[jovial latch]

believe i like cs, i got a masters in ML but i just never cared to do any extra shit outside or work or uni

just actively did not want to

[rain patio]

kids do 💀 but also culture as in all the FOMO in social media

[raw echo]

meh i think the problem is more of companies making it a zero-sum game and a shitty new grad cycle than people who enjoy cs

[jovial latch]

I kinda touched on this before, but companies promote hackathons and other events to get people interested in coding, cause they want a bigger labor pool I think

They wanna force it a bit

[chilly burrow]

Let kids dream, damn

[rain patio]

i was being sarcastic here btw

[chilly burrow]

They're spirit hasn't been crushed by reality

[rain patio]

hardship builds good engineers

[peak ferry]

I wish I had a spirit

[chilly burrow]

Mayb, but it's not a necessity

[rain patio]

bro.

[chilly burrow]

2 me u do 😊

Even if u r a racoon

[peak ferry]

maybe this is why build is the bane of my existence

[rain patio]

you can get a short workout in during build

thats weird

[peak ferry]

gcc doesn't play nice with my very complicated templates

[rain patio]

thats new to me damn

wonder what the difference is

oh yeah the gcc vs clang w templates is what i meant

[peak ferry]

yea didn't look into it too indepth, I'm sure we are doing something funny

[jovial latch]

probably fake, but about the norm for linkedin these days

[slender niche]

anyone attempted the assessment for United Airlines Junior Java Role?

[neon perch]

Application link?

[slender niche]

I dont have that. Applied while ago

[rain patio]

This, There is so much more to life than being in front of a computer all day! like go on a walk, get coffee, meet new people, learn philosophy

[wicked musk]

for the leetcode is frequency list filter accurate?

[teal jackal]

Good morning fellas

And FUCK JAY POWELL

Inflation hawks will ruin the economy

Jay Powell's strategy of intentionally trying to tank the economy to curb inflation is going horribly wrong

I don't give a shit about Democrat vs Republican I just want Jay Powell out of the fed chair position

[tardy geode]

my flatmate's amazon offer isn't delayed , that's one lucky person.

[mental sable]

Stock market looking hot for the first month tho

[tardy geode]

Good morning sir

[tardy geode]

ayo kirby gang

@nocturne oriole

[smoky star]

Friends

Would February a better month for job hunting than January?

[teal jackal]

No idea

[analog compass]

Where are you guys finding new grad job postings

Ive been using linkedin but a lot of the entry level or new grad roles are requiring too much experience

[green pendant]

linkedin itself and yeah I agree postings seem to be scarce

[dawn sequoia]

gm

[coarse quiver]

Yes definitely. It's going to be better by exactly 26.437%

[green pendant]

okay let me rephrase the question, since you are considered eligible for most ng roles upto a year after graduation, would an ng job poster prefer an actual ng over someone who graduated 6 months ago + has 6 months of work exp at shitty organization

[green pendant]

hmm let's see

all companies that hire CS grads : x
companies that posted listings in Jan: y (<<<<x)
companies that can potentially post in Feb: x-y (which is almost x)

thus, all companies that typically hire compsci majors will hire them in february

the actual number is 100.000% @coarse quiver

[rain patio]

usually actual new grad

bcz i dont think the first part of your statement is true

a lot of them are strict on your grad date afaik

[green pendant]

right so then if you are going to switch jobs in ~1 year, wouldn't the shitty no name org + outdated tech stack actively hurt you (as opposed to being actual ng) assuming that the market gets way better in 6-12 months

[rain patio]

big assumption

[green pendant]

what part?

[rain patio]

that things will get better so soon

if you're bullish on next year being like last year with massive hiring then yeah just delay

[green pendant]

fairs. lets assume that it doesn't get better then. 2 years of no name shitty outdated tech experience vs 1 year of the same (assuming you delayed graduation by a year but joined the same company)

in 2 years when both of you are looking for a job, who is hurt more

(assuming things getting better in 2 years)

[rain patio]

the 1 year ??

[tardy geode]

imo this would happen in Q2 2024 or post that

[rain patio]

people with ~1 YOE are kind of in a place where

theyre not really new grads

but theyre also not midlevel

[green pendant]

yeah but midlevel with shitty tech stack kinda sucks no?

you are stuck with that stack a little

[rain patio]

no i mean there's going to be openings you can apply for

at 2 YOE

[green pendant]

most mid level openings specifically ask for more modern stacks as far as I have seen

lets say you work with PhP or Ruby on Rails or something

and at 2 years you gain some experience with it too

[rain patio]

well what you wrote was assuming you ended up at the same company

[rain patio]

obv it's not optimal to work on outdated tech

but id also like to be able to pay the bills

[teal jackal]

is getting pigeonholed with a bad tech stack a thing?

[rain patio]

and buy stocks when they crash

[green pendant]

same question

[green pendant]

except snap pls don't buy snap

I did it the last time their stocks fell lol

[timber rock]

not really

skills are usually transferable and a lot of big companies are language and tech-agnostic

[rain patio]

^ i was reluctant to answer this bcz i think it depends on what companies you're aiming for

[timber rock]

yeah, smaller companies are more likely to require a specific stack

[rain patio]

yeah i think q2 2024 at the earliest but who knows

[smoky star]

Q2 2024 would be better than now

[green pendant]

I see this is something I had no clue about

[timber rock]

still holding on to hope for the Amazon unfreeze 🥲

[green pendant]

I was assuming that even amazon for eg would have a swe 2 listing with "2 or more years of Java" or something like that listed

[green pendant]

it will happen eventually

[timber rock]

Nah usually they just say like "x years experience in a modern programming language"

[rain patio]

im not a recruiter but i lowkey dont think they care

even if it says java/ruby/c++

just put one of them as a language skill

i assume you use one of them to LC anyways

how are they going to fact check you

just my 2c though, do whatever keeps you off the streets

who knows? maybe if you accept the offer now and keep interviewing, you might get a better job offer before you graduate and you can renege this one

[green pendant]

I see

[green pendant]

don't have an offer yet but yeah I was just overthinking

[compact vortex]

just got this email

where does the hackerrank test go to

i cant find it

[teal jackal]

youll get another email bro

[compact vortex]

does it come immediately after

[teal jackal]

probably

i forgor

but i did get the email eventually

[compact vortex]

i didnt get it

imma email that campus email and let m know

its an easy test right?

cuz its like 25 minutes

[teal jackal]

yeah its trivia

[compact vortex]

kk thats chill

[green pendant]

does chewy sponsor?

[compact vortex]

idk

[green pendant]

Okay I don't think they do

[sharp plume]

If two really good companies schedule an interview at the same time, and the recruiter for one of them doesn’t respond when you email her to change but the interviews are today what do you do

[hot hatch]

take both interviews at the same time

and make them fight over you

(but also, just contact the other one?)

weird that a company would schedule a interview without you confirming...?

[sharp plume]

Should I assume that the company that is not responding to my rescheduling request is gonna still have the interview at the same time?

[timber rock]

Go to the one that you didn't email

[livid yew]

Bro you gotta wait for some stuff lol

I'd check the spam folder

[dusky ledge]

Lmao I didn’t get as well

[fossil jewel]

ice jj fish best rapper

[vague furnace]

anyone interview with Bloomberg recently? Have a phone technical tomorrow. wondering what the difficulty will be.

[vapid monolith]

Medium

[dusky cloak]

I had validate BST on when I did my Phone interview

[compact vortex]

Not there either

[marsh sand]

Peeps who got offered (or rejected) from Palantir after HM, how long did it take you to hear back?

[lilac flare]

How can I improve on final interviews. I've been in 2 and it's really hurting my confidence

After getting rejected to both

I thought I did well but it doesn't seem like I am

And these companies won't give me feedback to improve

[vague furnace]

have you tried to do mock interviews with friends + current SWEs?

[lilac flare]

no, but each company asks different questions

and i have no idea how to prepare for them

[fast nexus]

did anyone also get a 2K OA?

[vague furnace]

I understand that part. Ive had lots of iOS experience, so as a new grad, that means I have double the amount to study. I am prepping full time everyday, half of my day is LC and the other half is iOS OOP + building something from scratch

[lilac flare]

2 final interview rejections are eating me alive. how many final interviews have you been to?

[vague furnace]

ive had one final interview that was python OOP and failed it when i shouldnt have. now i know better about what to practice, so I am just adding that to my list (of what to study)

[abstract storm]

Has anyone interviewed with Appian for their Solution Engineer position?

[ivory stratus]

does anyone know if chewy is open to remote?

for anyone that's taken an offer

also, should i add my Hawaiian Airlines internship that I haven't started yet on my resume? i start in like. two weeks

[west egret]

You can just put incoming SWE intern with your expected dates there

[ivory stratus]

what should i put for bullet points?

[west egret]

Did they tell you what you'd be working on?

[ivory stratus]

all i know is front end or mobile

[west egret]

I think I just left mine blank though tbh lol. Not like it will have any negative effects. It just lets ppl know that you were able to land an internship.

And you'll have more experience by w/e date your internship ends.

[west egret]

Just do a vague description and update it as you get farther in

[ivory stratus]

sweet thanks

[fossil jewel]

damn i never did the incoming stuff

when i asked people they said it sounds dumb since incoming can end up being cancelled

[green pendant]

yeah plus you can't really talk about in an interview

like if you actually did something you can list impact + skills and they'll ask you questions on that but what do you even ask someone who has an incoming intern on their resume

unless you specifically want to give them logistics info like you will be unavailable to start during those dates

[rain patio]

i only added incoming if it was massive clout boost or relevant to the role im applying for

[ivory stratus]

i mean like i get it if it's like. months away but i start within the next 3 weeks

so i can understand something that starts super soon vs something that starts way later

[rain patio]

cant you also just wait 3 weeks

[ivory stratus]

i mean yeah but i would also rather just apply for whatever roles i can

and chewy says they require an internship

[rain patio]

oh fair

[ivory stratus]

i mean im banking on having this hawaiian airlines job turn into full time since theres this program through my school where that's the goal

it's basically like you are in this program, match with local companies, and you're an intern with the goal of converting to full time

[rain patio]

isnt that

always the goal 💀

[ivory stratus]

i mean not always sadly lol

rip meta

yeah it is lol

i think their HQ is in Phoenix though but i could be wrong

[rain patio]

are they going to help you with hawaii?

housing****

[ivory stratus]

i live here

[rain patio]

ah

[ivory stratus]

but i think they pay $25 an hour

[rain patio]

hawaiis so cool, thinking of traveling there one day

[ivory stratus]

oh i guess the hq is here

it's so worth it

such a cool place

[fossil jewel]

i think thats okay

do you get discounted flights 👀

[ivory stratus]

yeah oahu

hawaiian

[ivory stratus]

i get free standby lol

and buddy passes

so my gf, my best friend and I are going to Japan after grad

[fossil jewel]

[ivory stratus]

the pay isn't great but im just happy to have something and be working in a smaller company first

[fossil jewel]

its gonna open up more doors

[ivory stratus]

yeah exactly

i've heard really good stuff about HA too

so im really excited

[rain patio]

i only know MA

[green oyster]

Hey, anyone here interviewed with palantir for sde role?

[ivory stratus]

wut

how many questions?

maybe it's just mc then or just an easy q

has anyone applied for jobot and done the instant interview?

oh yeah no lol

def doesn't sound legit

[azure zephyr]

just got approved for graduation this may

feels good

summa cum laude too 😫 i was a tryhard all four years and all i get is a honor cord hahahaha

[fossil jewel]

W

[ivory stratus]

haha that makes a lot of sense why you're so cracked then

[azure zephyr]

tbh im basically an applied math major (data science) so not much correlation between my school work and the leetcode grind

i don't feel like school prepared me for industry at all its a scam

[fossil jewel]

i dont think it prepared anyone

[ivory stratus]

trust me i feel that too

our college is basically just focused toward academia and not setting people up for industry so yeah

they're trying to move to college of engineering so that they actually care about people having jobs afterwards

[dusky ledge]

Me

[teal jackal]

damn jake your pfp no longer doxxes you

[ivory stratus]

lmaoooo

had to

anybody in here blind and need some healing

[teal jackal]

I feel like school helped me figure out what tf I'm doing as a developer

but past a certain point school started going down the useless route

[fast nexus]

Dmed you

[west egret]

I'm still waiting on mine and I put in my application a month ago

[sonic coral]

Damn you a good lookin mf tho

[ivory stratus]

thanks fam 😭

[azure zephyr]

mine was open for two weeks and i had to email my advisor to get it approved lmao

[fossil jewel]

it took so long for me

i got it a week or two after grades got posted

the awarded degree

[prime palm]

50% of this server has interviewed with palantir atp

[fossil jewel]

Cum Laude lmao

[prime palm]

cum loud

[fossil jewel]

the bar is low at my school, you just need 3.2+

[prime palm]

LOL

that emote

[rain patio]

bruh

[fossil jewel]

3.5 is summa cum laude

then 3.8 is magma

[rain patio]

just call it a participation award

[fossil jewel]

or i have it backwards

my school has some brutal classes tho

[rain patio]

summa is highest

[fossil jewel]

yeah backwards

magma is 3.5
summa 3.8

💀

[ivory stratus]

bro everyone laying off

im just hoping this means more opportunities next year or the year after

[fossil jewel]

dodged a bullet my homie

paypall laying too

[rain patio]

wait i know where you went lmfao

[west egret]

Yeah. I hope the ppl that were on my team are okay though.

My mentor actually went to Asana not too long ago…

[fossil jewel]

eh

[west egret]

Combined with that I know where @fossil jewel lives

[fossil jewel]

we

[west egret]

I now know too

[fossil jewel]

[west egret]

Granted, it's 525 positions globally.

[rain patio]

ok now we just need credit card number, SSN, DOB, and some other stuff

[fossil jewel]

my credit number is 1-888-Loser

[rain patio]

but real talk your school has some weird ass reqs for honors lol

[west egret]

my phone number is 1-800-PRANKED

[fossil jewel]

whole school weird i’m glad to be out of there

[rain patio]

nyu is the other weird one

when 3.9 isn't necessarily summa cum laude

might as well just give up

[fossil jewel]

at least my tuition was free damn

[rain patio]

nice

[fossil jewel]

that’s my cope for being rejected from nyu and wl for stony

[ivory stratus]

oh yeah that's not a lot

[rain patio]

im using a lot of my fy pay to get rid of my debt

[rain patio]

L

[sonic coral]

Lol I got wl for Bing

[rain patio]

L

[fossil jewel]

no one in my hs got into nyu or stony

[west egret]

I got WL for chatGPT

[fossil jewel]

ghetto ass hs

[rain patio]

getting into nyu was a joke at my school

its like the equivalent of cash cow for MS at columbia

[fossil jewel]

yeah my hs was liberal arts focused

stem was weak

pro: i’m good at writing and public speaking kinda

[rain patio]

liberal arts hs

[rain patio]

u mean

WRITING?

LMAOOOO

[ivory stratus]

it's a good thing you aren't good at lefting

[fossil jewel]

[west egret]

STEM major that's good at speaking

[fossil jewel]

y’all best believe i did this on purpose

[rain patio]

honestly though good on you for not getting into NYU

it only makes sense if you're broke broke

otherwise massssssssive debt

[nocturne oriole]

Ugliest nyu cs major still better than most handsome west coaster

I take that back

Most handsome berkeley

[rain patio]

unrelated but kirb did you go to NYU?

[nocturne oriole]

Specifically berkeley

Nah i didnt but i like their logo

Very clean

[rain patio]

chad berkeley, monke nyu

chad + sweaty i mean

[jovial latch]

has anyone heard back from l3harris?

trying to see if they got back to everyone at once and i got fucked ghosted or if it some people ahvent heard back

[late kestrel]

i know someone who got an offer but that was november

[jovial latch]

they did a buncha interviews/hiring in janurary so thats what im focused on

interviewed with em week ago, told me they get back releatively quick

saw someone got an l3harris offer in the process channel, my anxiety has skyrocketed

[ivory stratus]

it's only been a week, i'd give it another week before you reach out

[jovial latch]

nah i already did ask bitch ass hr when id expect to hear back, theres never any issues with overcommunicating

especially when recruiters will fucking ghost you

[fossil jewel]

where did u go to school?

imma guess a SUNY

[jovial latch]

honestly im probably going to be extremely neurotic and anxious until i hear back from l3harris now

just how its gonna be

[rain patio]

lmao na

i went private

[sonic coral]

Where’d you end up going

[green pendant]

turns out I was right😶

[jovial latch]

nice, though imo oop aint all that hard tbh

i mean how much can they really go into on oop

[sonic coral]

CCNY?

[fossil jewel]

W

[rain patio]

ITS NOT ABOUT THE PRESTIGE

ITS ABOUT WHAT YOU LEARN

[jovial latch]

who the fuck cares what college you went to

god damn

[rain patio]

ITS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU LEARNED

ITS ABOUT THE FRIENDS YOU MADE ALONG THE WAY

[fossil jewel]

eh sure

[rain patio]

L

obv tons of people care

otherwise how can cornell convince you to cough up 80k a year

[jovial latch]

facts

[dusty mauve]

after first job it don't matter

[jovial latch]

my damn college president gets paid 800k a year

as if they need more tuition

mind you they also gave him an 800k sign on bonus

[rain patio]

lot of schools charge that nowadays

sadly

must be the egg prices

publics only good if you live in state

out of state its still kinda scuffed

[jovial latch]

and even then it can still be a bit of money

cause loan companies and colleges cooperate to fuck over students

you charge more tuition, people take out more loans, loan companies make interest money, colleges make more money

[outer radish]

ngl coming from a canadian ya'll pay crazy amounts to go to school

like its wild how much debt ya'll are saddled with at like 21

[jovial latch]

i mean we can do the whole 'america is crap' bit

pretty much the least developed nation out of all the developed nations

[outer radish]

naw dont get me wrong if I had the chance to go to berk or MIT or an american top school I would

[rain patio]

like quant quant or core dev swe

[ivory stratus]

'Murica. Ruining lives since 1775

Idk what the actual date was but you get the gist

[jovial latch]

usually the counterargument is that people say america is better than developing nations, which is true
but my god america is far worse compared to every other developed nation

its astonishing

[rain patio]

well

[coarse quiver]

Better for what? Taxes

[rain patio]

you can always go elsewhere

whats stopping you

[jovial latch]

the reality is, im fiancially stable enough to not feel a need to uproot my whole life and go to another country, but like, yea shit requires money to move to another country anyways

[ivory stratus]

Ill take taxes over being debt ridden any day

[coarse quiver]

50% taxes?

[rain patio]

but america is so much worse right?

if you can afford it, why not move somewhere else?

[jovial latch]

i can also appreciate things about america too ya know

there are good things

[rain patio]

that is not what that last statement says to me

[ivory stratus]

Its funny cause the US is so individualized that they dont give two shits about anyone else

[fossil jewel]

that’s a nice part

freedom of self i guess

otherwise there was a selfishness with covid

[jovial latch]

i mean id sum it up as, america is nice if you can afford it

[rain patio]

gotcha, yea scs and mit are p busted

[jovial latch]

the moment you enter any sort of fianicial unstability all the problems come rearing towrads you

[outer radish]

america the land of the place that'll pay me 200+ k for typing

[coarse quiver]

Quant Research is usually more interesting than quant dev.

[fossil jewel]

pay up

[rain patio]

i was asking for clarification

[jovial latch]

america is also interesting in that its not so much america as it is 50 entirely different states

[rain patio]

on what they meant by quant

[fossil jewel]

each state is a personality fr

[coarse quiver]

Mb.

[jovial latch]

so you end up with pretty chill places and pretty fucked places, and a pretty fucked national govt

[outer radish]

is this guy holding a bag or his balls

[rain patio]

but yea i agree

[fossil jewel]

chancla

[rain patio]

im just too dumb to do QR

monke trading systems

[outer radish]

oh shit not the chancla

[coarse quiver]

Nah. Just be good at ML . ML trading ftw

[rain patio]

i did well in my ml courses

[jovial latch]

[jovial latch]

its gonna be my fuckin career at some point

[fossil jewel]

i like data engineering and big data stuff

[jovial latch]

i mastered in that shit

[fossil jewel]

backend is also cool

[rain patio]

https://tenor.com/view/oreo-funny-stephen-colbert-eat-it-all-gif-14232102

[fossil jewel]

distributed might be my final goal but i’ll have to read more into it

[jovial latch]

im chill with just bout anything except QA and pure front end crap

[rain patio]

have you taken a course

[fossil jewel]

nah

[outer radish]

on some real shit how the fuck do u pass tiktok oa's and interviews

[fossil jewel]

i do have books

[rain patio]

that shit was so hard for me to process

[fossil jewel]

and a site shared by someone that’s really good

[rain patio]

read the papers on paxos, raft etc

[coarse quiver]

Backend in trading is usually bad. Poor code quality. Spaghetti code . Unless it's specialized like hft

[rain patio]

dynamodb

[outer radish]

nvm you were talking bout the class

[rain patio]

i meant distributed systems

[fossil jewel]

i didn’t open the tik tok oa

they sent it twice

[rain patio]

i passed it back then

im a 2022 grad kek

[outer radish]

it wasnt like crazy bad, but the third one just rekt me

[fossil jewel]

didn’t wanna bother with big interviews

my LC isn’t up to par yet

[rain patio]

L

[west egret]

I think I got 2/3 on Tiktok OA but mostly because I saw one of the questions before

[rain patio]

@fossil jewel are you '22?

or '23?

[fossil jewel]

technically 23' for commencement

but my last semester was dec 22

so im kinda both

[rain patio]

oh

ok so '23 but started working i guess

nice

[fossil jewel]

i just put fall 22' in general

yeah i work in a couple of weeks

[west egret]

Are you going to be in a Manhattan office?

[fossil jewel]

yesss

[fossil jewel]

make sure you live somewhere cheaper since those taxes gonna eat your salary

if you find something in brooklyn along the N line you'd be within a good commuting distance + by some good food

[sonic coral]

Or alternatively work for a job where you make enough to afford living in the city before you inevitably move out to an outerborough

[sonic coral]

Bro ny is like its own country alone lmao

Each borough, Long Island, upstate lmao

Nah the chads are the dudes commuting from PA and CT lmao

I can imagine

Drive or train

Ah yeah a solid 2+ hours lol

I know kids who took the lirr to stony from queens, imagine taking a 1-1.5hr commute for college every day you have class

[jovial latch]

it really aint so bad being across the river

[sonic coral]

Us tristaters are just used to long commutes lol

Transplants won’t ever get it

[rain patio]

6am gang

will run to catch bus

[sonic coral]

My commute back from hs ranged from 30min to 1.5hr in horrible traffic

I remember when we were stuck on the verazzano on the way to school because there was a jumper

[rain patio]

whats a jumper

[sonic coral]

People started getting out of their cars and yelling “fucks sake make up your mind I got work”

[rain patio]

oh lol

[sonic coral]

Guy who wanted to jump off the bridge

[pine topaz]

@ivory stratus I dont like how you cured 1000 blind people

[rain patio]

nyc mood

[jovial latch]

yea sounds bout right

[rain patio]

if you drive too slow you might just get tailed

[jovial latch]

i aint giving up this damn lease where i live anyway me and my friends got real lucky with this place
turns out, kinda hard to find a damn place to live lol

[sonic coral]

Bro every single time I approach a stop or light I get the feeling I’m gonna get rear ended

And I never trust the all ways

[rain patio]

i got honked at going 25 local

[sonic coral]

Lol 25 speed limit = 35 then slow to 30 if there’s a cop

[rain patio]

on local streets?

highways maybe

[sonic coral]

Lol when there’s no traffic I mean

[rain patio]

actually highway almost mandatory

[fossil jewel]

in this recession as a new grad?

[rain patio]

rob is a chad

[fossil jewel]

we know

[rain patio]

can afford to live anywhere

[fossil jewel]

he always breaking pr's with his deadlifts

[sonic coral]

Lol not anymore

I’m taking em slow now

[fossil jewel]

[sonic coral]

https://tenor.com/view/salty-spitoon-how-tough-are-ya-tough-spongebob-shlomopo-gif-21115009

[fossil jewel]

i belong in weenie hut jr

[west egret]

Yeah I'm going to try looking in Brooklyn but it can get pretty expensive too

[jovial latch]

if you're gonna be working in manhatten, you could also consider renting across the river in NJ...depending on where in manhatten you're working

[sonic coral]

Where is your office

Depending on where in the city (midtown/uptown vs downtown) it could make more sense to consider queens over Brooklyn

And west side def means NJ might be even better than both

[young peak]

Do you recommend NJ at all @sonic coral ? You know me and what I like

[jovial latch]

yea west side id say consider NJ, especially lower west

[young peak]

In a few years I'm 100% moving to NYC just idk if I should move to NJ and save money via taxes

[sonic coral]

If you’re having a good time in Kirkland rn tbh yeah

[young peak]

Might want a change of pace if I move

But I know what you mean

So no luxury highrises in NJ?

[sonic coral]

Oh you’ll have a change of pace bro even in jc lol

Bro jersey city is mostly high rises lol

Hoboken is where the townhouses are

[young peak]

NJ as in as close to NYC as possible

[young peak]

Is jersey City the close one

[sonic coral]

If you’re gonna move here you should try to get out of the “NYC” mindset and consider the individual neighborhoods lol

[jovial latch]

jersey city got a bunch of high rises, lot of modern ass shit
hobokens got a buncha mid rises but along the river you got several high rises

[night marsh]

Anyone got this before when filling out a successfactors form?

[jovial latch]

i live in hoboken myself

[sonic coral]

Interesting I’ve been in Hoboken a few times and it always reminds me of Brooklyn lol

Not dt Brooklyn but like typical brownstone Brooklyn

But also with a bit of jersey mixed in

[fossil jewel]

15 minutes via path train

[jovial latch]

yea away from the river buildings are like 5 stories up, brick shit, quite nice

[sonic coral]

Hoboken’s got weird ass traffic signs tho

[jovial latch]

but i live in a high rise on the river myself, along the river is all high rises

[sonic coral]

Like where are the stop signs lmao

[jovial latch]

better not to drive a car here all things considered

not enough parking

[young peak]

Yeah yeah I get the boroughs n shit, but idk man I just wanna live within a highrise for cheapesh in NYC

[fossil jewel]

you get this view

[sonic coral]

Meh the parking garages are cheap

[young peak]

Like sub 4k for a good apt, high enough with floor to ceiling eindows

[sonic coral]

My guy I’m talking neighborhoods in the city lmao

[jovial latch]

lol

[sonic coral]

Boroughs are cities in and of themselves

Brooklyn alone is 2.5m people

[jovial latch]

i have a view of nyc from my apartment in hoboken lol

its tight

[rain patio]

i thought that white statue was an among us

[prime palm]

U in ny rn?

[sonic coral]

If there’s one thing jersey city has its def the views

[jovial latch]

uh no im in hoboken, NJ

the intention is to work in NYC

god i hope c1 moves me to final round

[sonic coral]

You’re from jersey right

[fossil jewel]

yeah hoboken has that view i showed

[jovial latch]

ye, im from south brunswick actually, close to princeton

[prime palm]

Like u live there or u work in ny

Nj

[prime palm]

Awww yea c u soon

[fossil jewel]

walked along that waterfront to hoboken, the train station is cute, they got old timey style stuff

[jovial latch]

graduating in a few months lol

[fossil jewel]

you happen to go to rutgers?

[jovial latch]

stevens

[fossil jewel]

ah thats also a popular one

[sonic coral]

Lol I got stevens too but they were crazy expensive

[jovial latch]

was a bit more expensive for me than rutgers given fianncial aid, didnt wnat to go to rutgers

[west egret]

One of the BB offices which is midtown I guess. I was thinking of Astoria as well.

[jovial latch]

i dont regret it

[sonic coral]

I did a thing where I took a class at stevens for a day lmao

[fossil jewel]

as long as the trains take you by lex and 59th you're fine

i think thats where bloomberg is

[sonic coral]

Midtown def consider Astoria and UES

[fossil jewel]

UES is bougie

[west egret]

All the BB offices are pretty close together

[sonic coral]

Yorkville has cheaper college stuff

[fossil jewel]

true

[sonic coral]

Yeah im not talking Lenox hill lmao

That’s old money

[fossil jewel]

one can get a sugar momma/daddy there

and UWS

[sonic coral]

[fossil jewel]

L O A D E D

[sonic coral]

But yeah Brooklyn to midtown is slightly worse than queens to midtown usually

Can also consider LIC / sunnyside / Jackson heights (along the 7 basically)

[west egret]

Astoria to midtown looks like a 20-25 min commute. Not bad.

[fossil jewel]

yeah depends, i think sunset to bb isnt so bad

[jovial latch]

o my friend wanted to move to LIC post college

[fossil jewel]

i dont mind commutes up to 1 hour

anything more than 1:10 and im tapped out

which was my commute from south bk to jc

[jovial latch]

But then we got this place and we are literally never giving up this lease

[sonic coral]

Sunset to chelsea was like 35-45 min worst case so midtown might be a bit rough

[fossil jewel]

the viewwww

[sonic coral]

Wait south bk to jersey city?

[fossil jewel]

yep

[sonic coral]

Oof

[jovial latch]

We have a 3 br 2.5 bathroom and I'm paying bout 1.7k per month

[fossil jewel]

took express bus to path

[jovial latch]

For reference

[sonic coral]

The path transfer

[fossil jewel]

it was good exercise daily

[sonic coral]

Lol I had a similar commute from staten to Chelsea for a while

[fossil jewel]

combined both ways 1hr walk

[sonic coral]

Express to E train

[fossil jewel]

lots of stairs and stuff

[sonic coral]

Uphill 10min walk to bus

[jovial latch]

so i guess my point is that you can get pretty tight places if you decide to live in NJ

[fossil jewel]

yeah

[jovial latch]

commute is fine in hoboken

[fossil jewel]

JC is fine

taxes lower too

[sonic coral]

I think the important thing is just living near the path right

[fossil jewel]

yeah

[sonic coral]

Since some places can be a decent walk

Or god forbid a jersey bus

[fossil jewel]

newport is 15min from WTC

[jovial latch]

you got the path but then also the 126 bus to PABT, connects to a buncha shit

both of those are pretty good

im about 5-10 minute walk from the path

[fossil jewel]

also mall in newport alongside some decent food

[sonic coral]

How are jersey buses

I’ve never been in one

[jovial latch]

the farther you get from NYC the worse they get
but that being said, ive never had a bad experience with them

the few times ive taken buses far from here they followed the schedule

the one thing that will confuse you is how they do tickets with their dumbass zone system

[sonic coral]

I took some Suffolk county buses in stony before and my experience with those is the schedule is way worse and less frequent but the drivers are nicer lol

[jovial latch]

yea, it gets worse the farther from nyc you are

the buses that go to/near nyc are usually quite reliable

[fossil jewel]

i mean hey if you want JPM referral you can work in JC

[jovial latch]

the 126 in hoboken runs like every 5-10 minutes on peak hours cause so many people use it

[fossil jewel]

save $$

[jovial latch]

jpm referral eh?

[fossil jewel]

yeah in a couple of weeks

[jovial latch]

ima remember that

[fossil jewel]

i think the deadline is march 1st

[sonic coral]

Yeah same with staten express buses

[fossil jewel]

for software, hopefully ny metro isnt full

[sonic coral]

Those things fuckin zoom on express hour tbh

15-20min to Fidi during peak which is impressive

[jovial latch]

the light rail here is tight too, runs along the river in NJ

[sonic coral]

I think they open up an extra lane on the BQE for buses during peak

Which is smart

[jovial latch]

i worked at fidelity over the summer, they had an office in JC, but with the light rail its like 2 minutes, drops you off right there, sick

if i walk there its like half an hour

[sonic coral]

That same trip I’m mentioning can be 45min in non peak lmao

[jovial latch]

lol

[fossil jewel]

i sent a friend rq with link

[sonic coral]

Lowkey I gotta say tho it’s pretty impressive how interconnected the NY metro is

As shit as it is

[fossil jewel]

taxes

you dont get tax refunds right?

[sonic coral]

Oh I meant how shit the public transit can be lol

But yeah taxes

[vital leaf]

its frustrating

hundreds of applications, 0 callbacks

[sonic coral]

I have no clue if they’re going off my fit taxable or social security included wages (????)

If they go off fit I might get a refund otherwise I might owe money lmao

So we’ll see

[fossil jewel]

lmk when you do file, curious to see

if pay or recieve

[vital leaf]

i'm starting to get depressed

[sonic coral]

Hey just remember your job doesn’t determine your worth as an individual

The job market is absolute shit right now so it’s not indicative of your skills

You’ll get something eventually bro

[jovial latch]

ive accepted that the job market aint a reflection of my skills, but man does it still sting

[vital leaf]

🤞

I dont know where I'll end up after I graduate

[sonic coral]

Nobody does tbh

[vital leaf]

I might even go back to my home country

[sonic coral]

Everyone just takes whatever they can get

[wheat seal]

How are Splunk and PayPal doing layoffs?

Shouldn’t they be fine

[sonic coral]

Wasn’t PayPal struggling

[tardy geode]

[dry salmon]

Friend’s bf was just laid off at PayPal

[fossil jewel]

i thought splunk was a big product

competitor to datadog

[sonic coral]

Did datadog do layoffs yet

[fossil jewel]

no clue

ik they're selective with hiring though

[dry salmon]

huh

[fossil jewel]

he giving robux for free

[wheat seal]

It is and it’s hella popular

[wheat seal]

I doubt they will

[fossil jewel]

their profits are doing good i heard

good product

[wheat seal]

I mean it’s possible but idk

[lapis cove]

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1342221/paypal-number-of-employees/

[wheat seal]

Oh I see makes sense then

[green pendant]

At this point I feel like the only way I get a job at apple is if I create a startup that gets acquired by apple

Literally taken referrals from staff engineers and engineering managers but still get ghosted every time

[fossil jewel]

my prof said he made a patent then sold it to apple

be like him ig

[green pendant]

Yeah tbh that's smart

I love seeing the little trophies companies give when you file a patent working for them

Like amazon gives that puzzle piece

[static moth]

pls i hope not

[shrewd mountain]

I have a 3 hour video interview for SDE position at microchip next week. Can someone tell me what all I need to prepare for microchip. Will be glad to talk to someone who went through the process.

does Snap not hire new grads? is the Snap Up apprentice program the only way in?

[teal canopy]

any place to look for job postings?

besides linkedin

[teal jackal]

nyc is wild now

[fossil jewel]

always is

[sonic coral]

Still not as wild as the 90s tho

[fossil jewel]

trueee

[sonic coral]

Altho we’re getting there

[fossil jewel]

social media is showing us more than what exists

citizen showing every little thing

[sonic coral]

Lol I refuse to use citizen for that reason

[fossil jewel]

i need to turn off notifs for my school area

[sonic coral]

My friend used it back on staten and saw the wackiest shit like “man assaulted with wrench”

[fossil jewel]

oh there was

"assault at popeys" during the chicken sandwich craze

[teal jackal]

i dont use any apps other than the bare minimum

im a tech boomer tbh

[fossil jewel]

respect

[teal jackal]

"theres an app for that"
"theres a fist for these nuts bihh"

[sonic coral]

Ah lmao yeah I remember the craziness when it came out

[fossil jewel]

u dont need the time sink that is social media

[teal jackal]

im a discord addict actually

no other app

tbh

oh man

popeyes

that was a certified 2019 throwback

the ultimate strat is to just not buy into marketing hype and wait

[fossil jewel]

its a good sandwich

ngl

[fossil jewel]

eh at least its some interaction rather than passive like ig or reddit

[teal jackal]

im addicted to group chats

i dont really feel anything about mindlessly scrolling social media

[livid yew]

As an android user, group chats just don't work lol

[sonic coral]

It def is one of the best chicken sandwiches you can get for $5

[fossil jewel]

discord is one big group chat

[teal jackal]

^

[sonic coral]

Holy shit fr?

Did they have layoffs too

[west egret]

Someone legit died for that sandwich

[sonic coral]

Multiple people actually

For people who had Palantir HM round, were you asked leetcode or system design?

[naive kayak]

A friend of mine is an international student who is a senior studying at my university and is graduating in may. Have any international students been successful is being able to get a job for this upcoming summer after graduation? Our University is located in the United States. He is looking for a Software Engineering full-time Position, he has experince in all languages and is a great candidate with a high gpa. Would appreciate the help 🙂 (Don't know if this is the right place/text channel to post this lol)

[fallen fox]

international here and i can't get a single interview. i have 2 internships (including one at Oracle) and applied to like 100+ positions so far

[fallen fox]

only saving grace is if you are from a top school w/ internships

[naive kayak]

oh wow, is it hard to find a company that will sponsor?

[fallen fox]

the entry level market is REALLY bad right now with all the lay offs and hiring freezes

[naive kayak]

Yea thats true. its unfortunate that he's been getting "auto-rejected" with no chance to do an OA/Interview cause he has a near perfect gpa (3.9+/4.0) and is knowledgeable and has good experience

[fallen fox]

there are places hiring; but the market is saturated with recent grads + laid off employees

[naive kayak]

true

[fallen fox]

sponsorship is almost impossible unless you're from a top school + internships

[naive kayak]

Damn, thats unfortunate, I wish you luck and all other recent grads and upcoming grads on job search!

[gray dagger]

Or if you’re a citizen, start a company and employ your friend

[naive kayak]

I want to do that, but its not easy to get someone sponsorship lol... that was my first idea lol + I'm a sophomore, so the only time I'll be able to do this is during the summer.

[sonic coral]

It’s also expensive to sponsor

[naive kayak]

EXACTLY

[sonic coral]

I think it costs the company like 30k

[naive kayak]

Probably something around that

[sonic coral]

Which is why only really cash flush companies tend to sponsor

[naive kayak]

Yep

[sweet plover]

I don't think you'd need to sponsor immediately

He has an OPT for which he could work as a volunteer (paid or unpaid) for 12 months

Buying some valuable time for looking for more opportunities

[uneven fulcrum]

I got two emails regarding the final round, one email is vague but the other one says one technical coding question will be asked. So I guess leetcode it is

[naive kayak]

Hmm, yea that could work.. I will check with him, thanks for letting me know about that, I was thinking there was something like that but wasn't fully sure

[sweet plover]

Also, there are tons of companies which are more than okay to hire people as volunteers, so he could try applying to those

[naive kayak]

Companies Like?

[gray dagger]

Anyone can form an llc. Here in California you can register an llc and the first year you get the annual fee ($800) waived. If he’s graduating in may, he’s not gonna be able to file for this years lottery so he has to wait till next March anyways

And to file the lottery it used to take $10 but now it’s increased to $260 I think? And for the actual h1 application it takes about a $1000

It’s too complex, better consult an immigration attorney

The only reason I know this is I was looking into sponsoring myself 🤣

[wheat seal]

quora doesnt even hire anyone

how could they have layoffs

thats really suprising

[sonic coral]

Rescinded ng != layoffs

Not all, I think majority of them don’t.

some even put their property on loan(its called a collateral loan)

we broke asf here.

Feel like there is a whole spectrum of international students ranging from people who mortgaged their homes to study all the way to people living in luxury apartments driving Maybach's to college. I think I've seen both kinds.

[teal jackal]

my parents came here with pretty much nothing in the early 90s

i think most indian ints at my college are more like my parents once was

[green pendant]

I knew an Indian intl whose parents had a very successful business back home this man legit did not ever think twice before making a purchase

But then hanging out with people like that is so hard because they'll always suggest doing stuff that costs a lot and I still haven't found an effective way to cancel a plan by letting someone know that I can't afford it

[teal jackal]

You know what I may have dodged a bullet with Amazon
The culture at Amazon is very ableist because asking too many dumb questions or asking for too much help is grounds to get pipped(for context, I'm a slow learner at first and need a bit of time to get acclimated into something)
"raising the bar"

[tardy geode]

[tardy geode]

yeah there are some indian students like this . they are spoiled brats .

but most are from mid income backgrounds and humble beginnings .

[tardy geode]

yeah

[lament basin]

keep applying

[hot hatch]

a lot of other fields spend 6 months after graduating to get their first job

just gotta keep at it

[fossil jewel]

think its harder when you're a timer

for a perm resident or US citizen you can just go back and stay with family

or work any job just to get bills paid

[lilac flare]

I'm a first gen US citizen and I still don't have an offer after graduating Dec

But I cant just stay with family cause they're abroad

But def not as hard as a timer. You got this

[tardy geode]

bruh i can't spend 6 months after graduation

i am non us

😭

[marsh sand]

how do I stop myself from refreshing the inbox

every 10 minutes

[hot hatch]

i be waiting for the serotonin boosts from getting an interview invitation (not that I have many)

[tardy geode]

3 month summer internship in the US , back home like ~2 years of workex(idk if US employers even consider this)

android studio is pain
Jetbrains took a massive L when they made this dog turd
in theory it's easy to use
in practice its super finicky, flaky, buggy, and crap just breaks and you have no idea why

[gray dagger]

Xcode is actually much better

[teal jackal]

never used xcode b4

but i do know android studio is really bad

they just let this half assed crap be the official tool of android devs

[gray dagger]

I used android studio before and it was complicated

But at least I did build apps

I like the xml structuring for ui

Drag and drop 🫠

Unlike Xcode

[teal jackal]

The xml structure tool is extremely finicky though

[gray dagger]

Switch to iOS dev

Have you tried react native or flutter?

[teal jackal]

like your UI elements collectively go FLYING if you just touch one thing

nah this is for a class

never doing mobile dev again

[gray dagger]

Keep at it and you can get hired by many many car companies

Like Rivian, lucid, Tesla, Hyundai etc for their infotainment

*in any other economy

[teal jackal]

Yea I'm a huge car guy

though if I worked at an EV company I wouldn't buy their product

I have a lot of gas car dreams I need to fulfill

First goal is probably gonna be get a hot hatch, like the corolla GR

I hope they make a lot of em in 2025

anyways I get why car infotainment is ass

just working on this makes me want to kms myself

[green pendant]

flutter actually pretty nice I liked it ngl

[gray dagger]

I like Mazda 3 GT hatch

[green pendant]

even though people have told me that there are scaling issues

[teal jackal]

I'm forced to use android studio

[gray dagger]

I should’ve tried flutter

I’m working on an website and iOS app

[teal jackal]

this class is taught in android studio so I'm not allowed to deviate

I heard react native is a little better

[gray dagger]

Once I’m done with that I eventually need to build an android app

[gray dagger]

Don’t get too used to it, you’re gonna end up using eclipse if you’re working for a car company anyways 💀

[teal jackal]

I'm dead set on backend tbh

I'm already headed to backend dev

Probably will go down this path tbh

Other interest of mine is computer graphics and game engines, but the career outlook for those is kinda narrow

[lilac flare]

then why is there so many rejections from Sig

[teal jackal]

Idk

dont ask me

[gray dagger]

I got ghosted after the sig OA

[teal jackal]

anyways codesignal outside of the GCA is a hosting platform for OAs

companies can customize it

[lilac flare]

passed all cases?

did you follow-up?

[gray dagger]

Yup

That was like back in September

[lilac flare]

lolll

I guess I should follow-up right away

[marsh sand]

People who got rejected from Palantir after the HM round, how many days after did you receive the Candidate Experience Survey?

[green pendant]

+1 lol I took sig OA in September and did not hear back

[fossil jewel]

graphics is more research oriented no?

[ivory stratus]

sounds like expedia

[teal jackal]

yeah kinda, but i think theres some jobs where you can work on graphics without research xp

but that area seems kinda desolate

[green pendant]

expedia rejected me tho they were at least nice that way

[ivory stratus]

i got ghosted after OA

anybody in here know japanese?

[compact vortex]

Bruh chewy never sent OA

Lol

[split plaza]

2 days I think

[marsh sand]

thanks for the input 🙂

genuinely petrified since it's been more than 3 days and I still don't have any form of update

[neon perch]

SIG ghosted almost everyone I know after the OA

[west egret]

Chewy has been ghosting me since Nov/Dec lol

[ivory stratus]

maybe that's a good thing?

[marsh sand]

I hope so (fingers crossed)

[crystal delta]

yeah, why

[raw echo]

how is the flexport oa?

[ivory stratus]

Trying to learn a good amount before i go end of May/June. Any tips?

I bought Genki and minna no nihongo to self study

[marsh sand]

Asking recruiter for an update isn't like bad right

[crystal delta]

i'm bilingual since I was a kid, so don't have many tips around studying it later in life. every kid in japan takes english in school though, so don't be afraid to revert to english vocabulary sometimes.

[marsh sand]

had my interview on Monday and wanted to follow up on Friday

[crystal delta]

it's fine, i would probably follow up thursday or earlier though since no one responds on fridays
