Weird, they’re still sending out interviews into March atleast for toronto location
👍np
wow thats weird. I wish they at least did the interview for me so I would've had some practice :/
woomen amirite
did u also have to do the ctf thing?
ah yeah...i wasnt sure if all the positions required it
how many flags did u guys find?
i wonder if num of flags u submitted influenced whether they rejected u or not
lol im eatin spegetti rn no joke
i wish
just goin to the gym, applying, getting rejected, sleep, and repeat
Did you know google results are personalized
They still track some stuff in incognito
anyone interviewed for c1 technology program and gotten a offer? im trying to get a sense of their timeline for their mldp program
i know they also do a powerday for mldp too but apparently theyre still fuckin deciding and my anxiety is killing me
Did they at least give you an update?
recruiter told me they were still deciding who moves ot the powerday
and it was just a hr screen before that
and i literally have a ml masters so id be really fucking surprised if i didnt make it
Glad they at least responded, sucks waiting though. Good luck! 
yea, i figured i could get a rough idea of the timeline if i compare it to the technology program timeline for c1
i know that was way back in the fall
i got an offer 2 weeks after my powerday which was slow for back then
you remember when you got the powerday invitation after the hr screen?
i went straight to pd, no hr, no OA
Tbh it's pointless knowing, it won't help you in anyway. Sucks waiting and I know how that feels, hopefully they let you know soon.
it was weird
weird indeed
mldp process was (automated?) code signal -> hr screen -> powerday
had the hr screen 3 weeks ago
tdp was that without the hr screen
wack
hr screen was them just confirming that i can work out of their offices, start date, basic shit, then they asked a weed out question where i had to explain the difference between unsupervised vs supervised learning lol
if you have 0 knowledge of ml you aint getting that question but if you have any basic knowledge you would know that answer
asked me if i kept up with ml news and i spewed shit about chatgpt for 10 minutes, which worked cause she was a non technical recruiter lol
i wonder how many people applied to the program
the recruiter told me they have about 25 slots
im spewing at this point but i dont think c1 would rescind or shrink this program
id imagine they want to invest into the ml field
entirely new program apparently lol
hence the late timeline
actually wait a mintue
the recruiter told me it would take 2-3 weeks
and she sounded like she expected it to take shorter amunt of time
well fuc its been 3 weeks, probably means too many god damn people applied
isn't that just not having vs having a set of labeled data?
ye but theres more to it than that
if you just mention that it probably wouldnt be enough
Would make sense that there's more since that's just the definition I learned in my Data Mining class. I haven't even taken any ML classes.
yea just weeds out the people with no ml knowledge, after a codesignal
so idk how many people would fuckin make it to the powerday
ML with c1?
@jovial latch not caught up in chat, but did u get the position at c1?
nah, had the hr screen 3 weeks ago, praying for powerday invitation
what about you?
didnt even apply
o lol
but i do like ML
dunno, i have a score 841 ive been using for months
was the code signal just like standard programming or was it geared towards ML?
standard codesignal
general coding assessment that lets you reuse scores or whatever
tbh i feel like we're right at the cutoff before companies start investing into entry level ml roles, which upsets me
i wouldnt be surprised if they start popping up like crazy within the next 2-3 years
i got a code signal when i applied to a capital one's ML position but it ended up being too hard
it was for a associate position tho
codesignal problems are randomly taken from a large set
its literally rng
but if you get a good score it can be reused
so even if i passed the OA, i prob would've failed later on
oa scores are not representative of ones coding competence
read online that they ask u about specific ML related stuff
whered you ah, read that?
glassdoor
im unfamiliar with how code signal works, but u can just take a test and then use that score for when companies request you to take it on code signal?
damn every company is either so backed up or almost filling up every position rn
most companies use the general coding assessment (gca) from codesignal, which takes 4 random questions from a large set. the score you get from this test can be reused for other companies if they give the gca, which most do
id say 800+ is worth reusing, max is 850, my score i use is 841
whos even giving GCAs nowadays
c1 did for their ml prog but its closed now
yeah capital one was the only company that requested one at code signal for me, more commonly used was hackerrank
wtf didnt even get that
god i want delicious food rn
go treat yourself bro
What to expect for the SpaceX codility exam
i want to work for elon too
no you dont lol
hes the goatttt
i cant tell if youre kidding, if only because elon simps are crazy
half kidding lol, i wouldn't actually want to work for him
not high enough salary for the work ur putting in, but i do respect him as a ceo
the mans a complete moron and a idiotic ceo ya know
though i wont fault you, hes very intentionally tried to make himself look intelligent
haha i mean...everyone can be criticized for something
im not gonna go into it, but if you do look into whether hes actually smart of a moron, youll find a lot of things
the reason I like him isnt because hes "intelligent"
but yeah i feel like if we talk about elon we are gonna get too controversial
perhaps
though i do have to wonder why you like him
can bring this to dms
sure
do you happen to have the email of this recruiter 😏
Butter chicken and paneer
what's the key to 820s
get good at leetcode
4 usually got me the last couple of gcas i got, so practicing hashing, bin search, heap topics would help im guessing?
Yeah 3 i usually have no problem with
No
It's honestly just rng
Just 4 fucks me up
841 with 15 mins left
how often can you take a code signal assessment?
ah gotcha
O I had 841 but idr how much time I had left
ya'll know if the practice tests are a good gauge of the actual test from the company
yeah fair enough
guessing the key here is to git gud to avoid getting clapped up
No. They are way too easy and then real thing is much more difficult imo
wait no way gca is always ez compared to actual one
Last i did a practice it was super simple then i did real thing got like idk 720 or sth
ive taken like 5 gca and gotten full score but always get a harder question for actual one (only last question)
What company u got
Nothing rn but zip, some randos back in oct
One test I got a score of like 720, next test, 841
Rng
But just grinded myself to dust at amazon so no chance to practice lc at the tjme
nope lol
manager dipped, skip on vacay
L8?
didn't show to my final
Can he do sth or mentors?
wait so do y’all skip 3 all together if you solve 1,2 and 4 quickly and can’t figure 3 out immediately?
bro thats wild lmao
left you on the hook to dry damn
wb now tho ur with zon or pltr? i forgot if that was u or the hachiyuki
straight heat fuck zon
im tryna get my foot in the door with them upcoming recruiting szn
1 2 4 3 in that order
Pltr rejected me in hm sad
@jagged ravine could be worse and they took it away after you got complacent
thats blessed, wasn't the ee for meta like 70k bonus ?
damn what a wild time
thats crazy stats though
yeah good thinking the writing was kinda on the wall
I thought i would get ro from zon. I needed a signal. The manager, mentors made it look i would
ngl thats kind of a blessed signal to get
I respect ppl that had the discipline to grind for interviews during internship
yeah really missed out on not doing this
paid for it when NG season came
I always didn’t start until July/August
goated manager
Big bucks
soybean's manager: "Fuck this place"
Ofc
More if he is algo trader
The bonus for any swe position at his level would atleast be like 250k +
That org
Doesnt
Exist
Anymore
Lol
As soon as i left from 500 they got reduced to 30 then closed
holy fuck what org was this if u dont mind me asking
robotics? alexa?
not SCOT right?
oh shit i heard rumours they were gonna make cuts in the office for robotics
thought it was just gonna be alex
your manager was coding @jagged ravine ?
Our school gave volunteer letters of employment to a few amazon folks lol
he was technical
Was a nice gesture
?
No idea
Mine was team manager
yeah this is a fucked move
Considerate
basically US citizen filter
unless you’re tight with a professor who can offer you a research position on a whim
Gonna be unemployed in this economy feels like
I hope so. OAs are not at all a probpem. The problem is they even advance after perfect OAs with plenty of time left
Oh we call these hosts at G
bruh bloomberg seemed rng af
if you just happened to be assigned to a decent hiring manager you were good
I thought 150k tc easy as a ng now I’ll work for half of it
otherwise you’re getting ghosted at interviews and slow af responses
Zon on resume isn't a strong bullet point anymore
Nobody thinks ex-zon is special
It's kind of true though, at least for new grads with Amazon being their most recent internship
yeah faang engineers are a dime a dozen now and not just juniors
Bloomberg is like all rng
This year just Amazon on resume isn't enough for 150k tc companies
Bloomberg is rng at every step
those tcs are much less likely this year
mid level companies don’t have tc pressure from faangs
100k base is all i want. I want no stocks. 100k and we good
good goal rn, we’ll make our money sooner or later
That international check means auto reject from so many places
Is your college prestigious
Yes
Like how high rank
Nope
A lot of ex zon in this server really struggled this year
How many companies did you apply to? I got like a 80% resume reject rate out of all non-ghosts
i’m a bit underpaid rn but i have a job and great benefits and a good team, super grateful especially cause im international , december grad
And most companies ghosted
What company
Your friends didn't struggle? Or do you mean they may have struggled but they long run were fine
non-tech clothing company
Is your school prestigious
Abercrombie?
lululemon
Damn
Yeah no brainer
gap?
How did you get into that.
T5 cs is a massive privilege actually
kinda? bro that’s prestigious
I think T5 CS for sure got you past resume screenings
look up
yeah just saw
more so now that the competition is fiercer than ever
dang..i want a job
less spots for the high paying gigs
Yep

Market was robust enough in prior years that school prestige didn't matter that much
Back in better years, if your prior internships were strong enough then you were for sure going to have a good callback
how much harder would u guys say it is for bootcampers compared to degrees?
Bar for "strong enough" also went up
Boot campers almost have no hope
and also compared to no bootcamp and no degrees and only side projects but shows extensive knowledge
0
i know of a bootcamper that got a job at google
bootcampers have barely a chance
esp this year
but hes the only person I know of and it was like 2-3 years ago
This year is built diff
bootcampers lurking in the chat rn 
Yeah I mean if ppl from established universities with CS fundamentals are having a hard time
100%
but college is a scam tho
we all got scammed
not for cs it’s not
lol but trying to find a job with a bootcamp
Hmm it's a scam in how overpriced it is
literally so easy to find a job with cs
There is no way i could have learned cs without college
for every other major i agree its a scam
plus you can pay off loans so fast
but for cs its not, you are right on that
100% needed the fire under my ass
Yea
But I think college is important because it puts you in an environment to network and diversify yourself a little
u can also get this by just moving to a diff country
if ur going to school to major in liberal arts, ur better off moving to a diff country
way cheaper
covid aside, college was 9/10 experience for me, definitely almost broke me a few times but i’m better for it now
That's absurd
It's a completely different context
College helps you meet different people with similar career goals
that's a bit extreme
i did this...thats why i think it has that effect
Has anyone heard back from Flexport for the team matching stages?
yeah i met my SO too
i also went to college too...but when you put urself in a new environment u force urself to explore and go out of ur comfort zone
def agree haha
i moved to a new country and went to university all at the same time 
I give senior year of college a 3/10 tbh, I am single and although I have friends it does get really boring because your friends Wont be active every weekend.
I go home every weekend
get use to online dating
oh same @teal jackal
also in seattle
Oh yeah, also senior year classes are tbh filler classes. I find that the most interesting part of college learning wise was sophomore and junior year
dating irl is just as hard as college tbh everywhere else but the big social universities in the US
i disagree it hink college makes it a lot easier because theres events and stuff that kinda force u to be around each other
mine wasn’t and covid made it even worse
Oh no seattle
paying for college 😹
irl people kind of already have their life somewhat figured out, so if you go to hang out with someone else its generally an intentional act
this isn’t everywhere, my university had lots going on but kind of a commuter school
hehe
I'd say at least the USA has better job opportunity, but even that went down the shitter this year
u a citizen?
Yeah
honestly you guys pay out the ass for ur degree but at least u get like 2x the salary of us
I have friends from high school who went to college in Canada
But are dual citizens of Canada and the USA
or yeah it doesnt have to be fang
Why Seattle bad
i mean with italian citizenship u could go anywhere in the eu and not deal with visa lol
and then come back with the degree to the us and make your 200k
there are plenty of non fang that pay more than 80k for NG
i can kinda see a path of someone who didn't have bootcamp or degree and just got a job through personal projects and a vouch at a smaller size company then moving to a fang later on? is that realistic?
whats NG?
80k is faang level in the uk lmao
new grad
why is it that non US usually pay so much lower for tech jobs?
yeah canada pay is closer to EU than it is to US
Probably because they can
i even was looking at programming jobs in dubai and middle eastern countries and they pay like nothing...
have you seen healthcare costs in US?
Health insurance is such a scam
very few companies are kinda on a US payscale
healthcare is cheap as fuck if u work for a faang lol
You still pay a premium and you still pay a big deductible before insurance starts covering it
so wait how does healthcare cost make american SWE jobs pay more?
my max yearly out of pocket is like 1250 or smth
they just pay as little as they can to still get people to work there
UAE where dubai is has 6 million Indians out of like 12 million total population, insanely cheap IT labor in general
Depends on your insurance, it’s really not that much if ur company has a good plan, which I’d expect big tech to do
us is basically the tech hub of the world and we never really had a big salary boom like you guys had for tech
yeah i remember seeing the range for a developer role was like 35k-65k usd and was thinking...this cant be right...
Offers I saw insurance details for have yearly out of pockets that top out at a couple grand. premiums are crazy subsidized by the company, usually like order of $50/mo
it’s even less now lol economy is a bit shit over there rn
cause trust me if faang could get away with paying 80k in the us they would lol
any of u a 2023 grad with a job?
I wonder how long it'll take companies to start treating lowballing(relative to pre-recession pay) as the norm
50k-ish is a pretty good salary in the uae, theres alos no income tax
where?
yeah faang despite all their woes are quite fair in hiring from all social classes and compete with each other for talent increasing demand and thus pay
what's DB?
i have been applying for a little over 2 months and kinda losing hope since not getting many responses
can you really count amazon though?
sucks rn yeah
but a lot of u guys are still landing jobs right?
amazon is one of my last hopes lol
it isnt just you, the market is EXTREMELY dry now
alterium are u officially on the amazon waitlist?
im just sitting here with both oa's done, 100% test cases, no final
oh damn you’re actively in the loop?
no idea when or if youll get the final
when did you submit Oa 2?
they didnt waitlist ppl like me in the uk, they only waitlisted people who did the final
and amazon was only open for about 2 weeks before the freeze started here, so thats very few people
thats crazy
nov 4
you’re unofficially waitlisted then cause they’ll probably process people who did final before you and they’re waitlisted
yea
ive only done 1 technical interview and i thought it went well but apparently it didnt because i got ghosted lol
yeah they opened in october lol
i was checking the site daily for like 2 months
I wonder how big of a proportion of people with offers are hoarding multiple offers at the moment
@teal jackal when did u graduate and do u have a job yet?
I did a technical that didn't go well and they still took 5 months to reject me lmao
I wonder if accepting 2 offers and then reneging will have an impact on the market
and it was a final interview too
may 2023 officially but im basically done with college, one bullshit joke-tier class left
yeah I have an offer that I accepted
oh dang nice
when did u apply there? whats the story
where you going again?
bro asked for 500k
damnnn
how many offers were you holding when you did that? lol
I got my offer through a recruiter reachout on linkedin
But I just had to be REALLY good at leetcode to survive the process
multiple offers? I only have one
I had two
or even 1 is good
when did u interview car guy?
late August is when I started applying
and I was hit with nonstop reusme rejects until october
processes are going so fkn slow rn
ah so i guess part of it is u guys have better planning than me
It was REALLY brutal on me to get resume rejected nonstop
and started applying a lot earlier
i was supposed to hear back from 3 interviews last week and i heard back from 1 telling me my results are delayed, silence from the others
You rejected them 
My dad's friend got me a Spotify interview for an industry hire role, but they didn't schedule the interview until after I got an offer
ecksdee
I can't renege on my dad's friend
so I just cancelled it
U mean last fall? Cuz none of those hiring anymore
so what does it take to get an offer at hive or spotify?
are u guys super good at leetcode or somethin?
140k base, 10% annual bonus, paper stock money
can you link me
lmao thats what they sall say
I did like 40 out of blind 75
then they start solving the hard ones in 10 minutes
not sure if hive is still open but it's pure leetcode, they like people who can handle the questions they throw at candidates, and have decent prior interview xp
and tagged questions
Yeah even for hive
Tbh surviving a leetcode interview just requires a lot of good intuition past a certain point
aight ima give my shot at hive xD
Had perfect interviews still got reject
maybe we'll be coworkers lmao
LC premium was worth the $100
most likely not tho....
even though I only used it for like 2 weeks
Lmao whenever u say zon I think zon is an actual company
damnnnnn
did they actually rescind that many more people?
is pan still here? i just only heard of him getting rescinded
@jagged ravine u graduated yet? and which company
were you in his videos?
just trying to gage what it takes to get one of these jobs
thats p cool actually
good college, good prior internships, dont be search to the job search process
UIUC?
you dont have to confirm
yeah
would i be able to see any of u guys' resumes?
aight thanks
im just trying to figure out what im doin wrong
is it important to put GPA on resume?
dont be search to the job search process
wait wtf
i meant "dont be late to the job search process
if its good put it, if its bad dont
Only put it if you’ve got 3.7+ imo
do they ever fact check it?
not very important imo but it does help if it's high
hell id lower that threshold to 3.5
I guess it depends on company
Yeah I’d do 3.5+
really? XD
It also depends on university too imo
Yeah they’ll call up your registrar
ah
oh both of u guys have FANG internships
that def helped a lot in getting u credibility
anyways Dan do you have good prior internships? That is number 1 for new grad search
number 2: do you have any interesting extraordinary achievements related to tech? like competitive awards or really cool projects?
number 3: university prestige traditionally didnt matter that much in the past, but it matters a lot more now
hmm not sure if i do or not
Honestly your internships and your university won't matter much anymore in the industry hire job hop scene,
It ends up being dependent on the tech stack that your company works on and your company's prestige
not sure about what?
for projects, a project is only as good as your "passion for it"
if u sound bored asf with it, its gonna show
if youre passionate about the project youll take initiative to make the most out of it
one of my projects i really enjoyed and i love talking about it
i have 3 uni projects and 1 personal project on mine but the personal one i only made one static web page and then quit lol
last year i had only projects and no exp
still wrote about it as if i did it (ssshhh)
it def helped when talking about my skills
even in ft interviews i was asked about my fav project on my resume
but yeah soybean thanks for the neetcode 150 gonna be grinding those in the next couple weeks
you have a minor grammatical error
idk the full context but I think it should be
"Implemented airflow ci/cd to successfully automate"
or "Implemented airflow ci/cd and successfully automated"
ok ill fix that, was making some changes last night
Being concise is fine imo
you could probably remove the personal profile website cause it doesnt sound that complex. and just link it at the top, thatll make more space for ur other proj descriptions too
2-4 lines for projects max
You’ll elaborate on those projects in the interview anyway
Oh yeah pick your projects carefully
That I agree with yes
I think you should only put "cream of the crop" projects on your resume
Like the final project for a major class
or a long term passion project
yea
yeah okay ill remove em
and no more than 3 projects
Imo fullstack app that has frontend + backend + db or some tool for a niche topic like security or ML
Really low level libraries work too
The resume I sent is actually outdated
My current "flagship" project is a multiplayer game that uses unity netcode
Also even school projects work too like if you did a shell in systems class or something
its about wording and complexity
Lol same
this lol
did they ask you about your projects in an interview?
realistically, if i've got three internships and one at faang do i need projects
for me yeah
yeah to fill resume space
cause i have 0 on mine rn lmao
I think mine are shell in C, full stack app with React/Node/Postgres, some sec shit like a port scanner I don’t even remember
does being an exec role in a cs club help fill that
I think its recommended to have a small project space for new grads
Yes 100%
yes
that's a pretty good role
thats even better
that should be on your resume
bc soft skills
Have a leadership section
And like 2-4 bullets about what you did
yeah workshops that I led, helping code reviews and building out an ecommerce site for the club
I honestly think your exec role at a cs club substitutes a project
where the interviews at tho
soft skills >>>>
my main project is a robot where i was tech lead and i really play it up to sound like our product was insane like how we presented at an industry fair i really emphasise the fact that we got good feedback from bloomberg, github and amazon engineers lol
soft skills AND relevant to tech
honestly would not surprise me if the auto resume screens were picking up the words amazon and bloomberg and putting me through
yeah thats fair, just gotta keep the grind up
like we're all capable of being able to churn out projects and read docs
but working with others is hard to learn
tech companies will be gobbling that shit up
Tech is tired of hiring too many asocial autists like me
ecksdee
do they fact check people if they say they've interned at FANG?
not saying I'm gonna straight up make shit up
background check after offer
but just curious lol
you never want to lie since eventually theyll find out
i dont think background check covers past employment tho
I am an honest person who works hard and would NEVER lie about earning something that isn't mine 
but theres people who work like multiple jobs or have big gaps
from what I've read on reddit
it seems like there wasnt a way to check employment
like i had the start date of one of my min wage jobs wrong and i had to submit a correction
🤐
oh wait really?
bc they called up the job and got the date different
well they had to manually call the place
My first internship ended on Nov 23rd 2021, but I wrote that on my resume as ending on Dec 2021
This shouldn't sound off any alarms right

Shit now im lowkey paranoid about that
arrest him!!!
most they'll do is ask for w2 form
you'll lose the offer, then they blacklist you and tell every other company to do it too, sorry. you're done
they'll call IRS too
your credit score will drop to 0
no house no cars
I rounded it up to December 2021 since it just looks cleaner than saying it ended in November
hmm i should round up on my internships too
most of mine go to the end of the month i put on there
like july-sep makes it feel like its 2 months
but it was july to end of sep
oh should've mentioned that it wasnt a big red flag, just that they say two different dates and asked me to confirm
i could've just said to not call the job and provided check stub and first w2
wait why would they ask for a W2?
guess to see start date
think maybe diff date between onboarding and actually starting maybe?
If my company drug tests me, I am going to drink a nice hot mug of coca tea(coca alkaloid IN the leaf) the minute I hear that I passed the drug test
my first internship drug tested me
it's a small IT company with a lot of state government contracts
i just got fingerprints taken
which makes sense
yeah my internship company drug tested me but didnt ask for my W2
they said they ran a background check but not sure what they did for that
WD did for me
Amazon didn't do a background check on me as an intern actually
wait how sure are u that they can find your employment information?
they just were like "i trust u bro"
I think my BG check only asked for past 3 years though
yeah
because i dont actually think they can...because im in a reddit forum where they talk about overemployed(where they have multiple jobs) and it seems like that whole thing would come crashing down if an employer could just find their job history
i mean u can conceal info
ah
if its not on resume then they wont know
which is good because I hate keeping track of past apartments
but you might get caught
does being overemployed set off any alarms during background checks?

yeah I figured
i dont think there is a database that has your actual employment history
i think its based on what you put down urself
yeah but tech companies, do they have access to IRS info?
Overemployment seems like a risky game, you don't know for sure whether or not that'll mess up your ability to pass the background check
but then again I hear background checks merely exist to verify information
there's probably a service of some sort
yeah
You include phone numbers too. So they can verify through that.
but i mean....if there was a way to find out...then the whole overemployed thing wouldnt work
fortunately my overemployment is running a meth lab from my RV
all that shit is under the books
yeah its a big risk
They also mainly check the stuff that's on your resume afaik?
imagine double dipping in meetings
its possible if youre careful about planning out your jobs
yeah...most of them talk about only doing remote positions
I'd say the only thing I'm worried about with overemployment is setting off a red flag for background checks
yeah i always wonder how those people do it
i personally don't see an ethical problem with it if u are getting ur tasks and job done
I don't think it's unethical either
if u are a high performer, then why not make extra money
yeah but u know how companies are
I just wouldn't want to wreck my chances to job hop
many people have 1 job and have their side hustle/side business
expect u to simp
and end up putting equal to as much time
people just get uneasy because some of these overemployed people will be making close to a million a year and we as people are kind of programed to feel paranoid when someone is making that much money
as long as the work gets done and you're not screwing over your team
i mean lots of min wage folks work two jobs to survive
everyone keep talking bout these side hustles
wtf is everyone doing for a side hustle
like do i just learn react and go round building websites
wendy's connoisseurs
prob nothing as long as I make enough money to buy a nice manual trans sports car
^
I'll be happy with a Civic Type R even
u got a job yet? @outer radish
The current gen Camry is REALLY good
ye camrys are super reliable
wheel is sturdy
i thought I had one secured when I was prepping for sys design
then they hit me with SQL query after SQL query
my brother complains his elantra is too light
deferred my database exam so I started doing SQL after the interview
so naw not yet lmaooo
the Camry this gen is really good, it's got good throttle response, good handling, a comfortable interior, nice and roomy, well put together
Interior is a bit ugly though
The Kia K5(Optima) looks really attractive inside and out, but I can't confirm if the quality matches a Camry
did the position say it required SQL?
i know so little about SQL lol
nope
if i need to do sql stuff i just google it
companies reserve the right to grill you over anything on your resume
suffice to say i know SQL now
if its there, fair and square
should i be bolding anything?
yeah im actually a dumbass for adding it there then
car, i noticed on ur resume u didnt
metrics and tech used during internships/projects
you dont need to bold
its personal preference
personally i didnt bold, i think its preference
ah kk ill just keep mine bolded then since i already did
I didn't bold but if you want to bold something you want to bold metrics and tech used

I forget sometimes that ppl from NYC haven’t needed to learn to drive
@teal jackal you still actively applying atm?
since u got ur hive one back in august i wonder how u'd fare in the current job market
Yeah but subway is convenient enough
A decent amount of natives do know how to drive tho
I might have to relearn at some point since I’m leaving my car in FL
There’s some pretty big gaps
The further out you go
Yeah idk I’ll figure it out along the way lol
First few months are just going to be exploring immediate area for me
You’ll prob leave ny within 5-10 years anyway lol
hey u never know
Ofc but the trend is transplants come in, live close to the city enjoy their time and leave lol
I mean might have to do with starting a family too
ye they realize that spending $$ on a williamsburg apartment with a freelance photographer career isnt the move

Yeah the pipeline for natives is jersey / Long Island / CT or Florida lmao
Bro so many of my relatives are moving to Florida it’s insane
Yeah my fam is tampa
florida man
joisey man
all those people moving/retiring to florida are probably gonna regret it in like a decade
Aunt bought a condo in Clearwater, her daughter moved in with some surgeon in st Pete in a waterfront house lmao

Housing in FL can get pretty expensive too
though honestly i think its aight
Got an interview invite from a defense company, but they're asking for a security questionnaire before the interview. Is that normal?
I looked it up in the chat but couldn't find anything
housing is expensive everywhere these days tbh
hmmm, maybe stretch out the experiences at the bottom
its just 1 bullet point
theyre shitty work experiecnes
so they're less detailed
the real stuff is higher up
where i actually did shit
mind you i cant go to 2 pages but im not gonna like, not list a work experience
oh ofc not
ive debated removing the skills part but keyword filters ya know
but if u were to expand those, you can take off the things in proj and extra
nah keep it
thing about skills section is that its easier on the eyes to read thru
i could cut out one of the projects but ima be real those bottom 2 work experiences, thats about all i fucking did
useless ass work
the projects are sort of there to establish 'experience' that the rest of my resume doesnt cover, like web dev and a little ml thing (Cause ml masters)
i dont think theres any glaring issues with my resume
not really, unfortunamtely, the masters was just purely a buncha ml classes
ml program kinda ass here in that theres not much of a focus on practical shit an ml engineer might actually do
yea ill have to think about it, its difficult being concise and explaining some of these bullet points without going into jargon
given teh nature of what i worked on
i think the fin tech one is fine, but the startup company, yea i can see
ehhhh
ill think about it but i really dont know if i can simplify it while also conveying what i did
mind you i did a lot here
which is why its on top lol
I do think the bullet points cover how I contributed or helped out the company though even with the jargon
Previous feedback included being more descriptive of what I actually did
How many total lc

they told me they were full in december and i haven't seen anyone get phone since it reopened
the position has been up for a few days now, I feel like they would have taken it down by now if it was opened by accident
is it ok to share past internship offer letters to current employer even thought they were labeled confidential?
It's 2785 applicants total, not in the past 2 hours because it only says "48 Applicants in the past day" on the bottom of that
LinkedIn reposts listings after a certain time

Does JPMC hire international new grads?
afaik for entry level: no
nope
oh thats definitely a thing
companies will use any excuse to claw back power

most companies are already firing new grads
Actually surprisingly some are interviewing new grads and they have no headcount or by the time u interview they prolly have hired that one spot
Pain
Yeah…
would anyone be willing to look at my resume:
I've sent like hundreds and hundreds of applications
and haven't gotten a single interview yet lmao
Fk Covid
quantify each and every point in the experience section
hey guys importatn question
if you are a ng, and you interview for the role with the posting saying at least 2/3+ yoe, does that mean you are interviewing for an entry level or experience?
cuz I thought usually if a job posting is up for ng, that measn theres hc for ng
thanks, i'm on that
any other international students here still struggling to find a job?
@fallen fox yeah I second that, quantifying each and every point is good. Other than that, the structure looks great! Looks like mine exactly though 
yep, here.

yeah
i'm losing hope every single day 
same , its hard staying sane
you still have time Spring Graduates are the ones suffering
still waiting for a 2024 new grad channel not gonna lie
most people i interned with moved there graduations to 2024
yeah, I'm hoping new grad 2024 is good
2023 seems like the bar is set very high
higher than 2022 at least
yeah.....its rough out here
there seems to be a lot of positions open tho
just not for us xD
