#

dusky tapir
#

woomen amirite

vagrant escarp
#

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

young peak
#

Ayo I just got on offer from Doncon!

#

DONCON DEEZ NUTS

vagrant escarp
#

#

young peak
#

#

vagrant escarp
#

#

#

sonic coral
#

Did you know google results are personalized

#

They still track some stuff in incognito

jovial latch
#

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

grizzled bronze
jovial latch
#

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

grizzled bronze
jovial latch
#

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

late kestrel
#

i got an offer 2 weeks after my powerday which was slow for back then

jovial latch
late kestrel
#

i went straight to pd, no hr, no OA

grizzled bronze
late kestrel
#

it was weird

jovial latch
#

weird indeed

#

mldp process was (automated?) code signal -> hr screen -> powerday

#

had the hr screen 3 weeks ago

late kestrel
#

tdp was that without the hr screen

jovial latch
#

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

west egret
jovial latch
#

ye but theres more to it than that

#

if you just mention that it probably wouldnt be enough

west egret
#

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.

jovial latch
#

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

west egret
#

ML with c1?

jovial latch
#

yea its an entry level ml program

#

very rare

vagrant escarp
#

@jovial latch not caught up in chat, but did u get the position at c1?

jovial latch
#

nah, had the hr screen 3 weeks ago, praying for powerday invitation

vagrant escarp
#

ah

#

what was the code signal like?

jovial latch
#

what about you?

vagrant escarp
#

didnt even apply

jovial latch
#

o lol

vagrant escarp
#

but i do like ML

jovial latch
vagrant escarp
#

was the code signal just like standard programming or was it geared towards ML?

jovial latch
#

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

vagrant escarp
#

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

jovial latch
#

codesignal problems are randomly taken from a large set

#

its literally rng

#

but if you get a good score it can be reused

vagrant escarp
#

so even if i passed the OA, i prob would've failed later on

jovial latch
#

oa scores are not representative of ones coding competence

vagrant escarp
#

read online that they ask u about specific ML related stuff

jovial latch
#

whered you ah, read that?

vagrant escarp
#

glassdoor

jovial latch
#

ima be right back

#

ah i see

vagrant escarp
#

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?

pure mauve
#

damn every company is either so backed up or almost filling up every position rn

jovial latch
#

id say 800+ is worth reusing, max is 850, my score i use is 841

pure mauve
#

whos even giving GCAs nowadays

jovial latch
#

c1 did for their ml prog but its closed now

vagrant escarp
#

yeah capital one was the only company that requested one at code signal for me, more commonly used was hackerrank

pure mauve
#

wtf didnt even get that

vagrant escarp
#

lol

#

when'd u graduate?

teal jackal
#

god i want delicious food rn

vagrant escarp
random seal
#

What to expect for the SpaceX codility exam

vagrant escarp
#

i want to work for elon too

jovial latch
#

no you dont lol

vagrant escarp
#

hes the goatttt

jovial latch
#

i cant tell if youre kidding, if only because elon simps are crazy

vagrant escarp
#

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

jovial latch
#

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

vagrant escarp
#

haha i mean...everyone can be criticized for something

jovial latch
#

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

vagrant escarp
#

but yeah i feel like if we talk about elon we are gonna get too controversial

jovial latch
#

perhaps
though i do have to wonder why you like him

vagrant escarp
jovial latch
#

sure

split plaza
#

do you happen to have the email of this recruiter 😏

young peak
#

Butter chicken and paneer

outer radish
#

what's the key to 820s

vagrant escarp
outer radish
#

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

lone rapids
#

No

jovial latch
#

It's honestly just rng

outer radish
#

Just 4 fucks me up

lone rapids
#

841 with 15 mins left

vagrant escarp
#

how often can you take a code signal assessment?

outer radish
#

ah gotcha

jovial latch
#

O I had 841 but idr how much time I had left

outer radish
#

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

lone rapids
raw echo
#

wait no way gca is always ez compared to actual one

lone rapids
#

Last i did a practice it was super simple then i did real thing got like idk 720 or sth

raw echo
#

ive taken like 5 gca and gotten full score but always get a harder question for actual one (only last question)

lone rapids
outer radish
jovial latch
#

One test I got a score of like 720, next test, 841
Rng

outer radish
#

But just grinded myself to dust at amazon so no chance to practice lc at the tjme

lone rapids
#

Zip the infamous zip where ppl with 850s were rejected

#

Wym grinded at amazon?

outer radish
#

nope lol

lone rapids
#

What was ur reason

outer radish
#

manager dipped, skip on vacay

lone rapids
#

L8?

outer radish
#

didn't show to my final

lone rapids
#

Can he do sth or mentors?

outer radish
#

mentor was a junior

#

oh shit what happened there

#

ah yeah

rigid quail
#

wait so do y’all skip 3 all together if you solve 1,2 and 4 quickly and can’t figure 3 out immediately?

outer radish
#

bro thats wild lmao

#

lone rapids
#

Oh damn

outer radish
#

#

lone rapids
#

Pltr rejected me in hm sad

west egret
#

@jagged ravine could be worse and they took it away after you got complacent

outer radish
#

thats blessed, wasn't the ee for meta like 70k bonus ?

#

damn what a wild time

#

thats crazy stats though

rigid quail
#

how does one GE in an internship?

#

are interns putting in extra hours to get that GE

lone rapids
#

Smart

#

When did pltr gave u offer

#

Oh wow u early early

rigid quail
#

yeah good thinking the writing was kinda on the wall

lone rapids
#

I thought i would get ro from zon. I needed a signal. The manager, mentors made it look i would

outer radish
#

ngl thats kind of a blessed signal to get

west egret
#

I respect ppl that had the discipline to grind for interviews during internship

outer radish
#

paid for it when NG season came

west egret
#

I always didn’t start until July/August

outer radish
#

goated manager

west egret
#

By that you mean interviewing other ppl or interviewing to leave lmao

#

LMAO

lone rapids
#

Big bucks

west egret
#

soybean's manager: "Fuck this place"

outer radish
#

wow

#

my man said fuck a recession and secured the bag

lone rapids
#

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

outer radish
#

robotics? alexa?

lone rapids
#

I was the lucky charm mfs removed me

#

Scout

outer radish
#

not SCOT right?

lone rapids
#

Nope

#

Scout autonomous robots

#

Im intl

#

So i would be

#

Delayed

#

Either way

outer radish
#

thought it was just gonna be alex

lone rapids
#

My manager

#

Was smart

#

Moved to another faang

#

Probably makes half a mil now

#

L6

rigid quail
#

your manager was coding @jagged ravine ?

green pendant
#

Our school gave volunteer letters of employment to a few amazon folks lol

rigid quail
#

he was technical

green pendant
#

Was a nice gesture

rigid quail
#

?

lone rapids
#

No idea

rigid quail
#

ohh i see, was he a senior engineer basically

#

okay

lone rapids
#

Mine was team manager

rigid quail
#

yeah this is a fucked move

rigid quail
#

basically US citizen filter

#

unless you’re tight with a professor who can offer you a research position on a whim

lone rapids
#

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

sonic coral
#

Oh we call these hosts at G

lone rapids
#

Rejected hm

#

Bloomberg resume rejected me so many times

rigid quail
#

bruh bloomberg seemed rng af

#

if you just happened to be assigned to a decent hiring manager you were good

lone rapids
#

I thought 150k tc easy as a ng now I’ll work for half of it

rigid quail
#

otherwise you’re getting ghosted at interviews and slow af responses

teal jackal
#

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

rigid quail
#

yeah faang engineers are a dime a dozen now and not just juniors

teal jackal
#

The bar just went up

#

For resume screening

sonic coral
teal jackal
#

This year just Amazon on resume isn't enough for 150k tc companies

#

Bloomberg is rng at every step

rigid quail
#

those tcs are much less likely this year

#

mid level companies don’t have tc pressure from faangs

lone rapids
#

100k base is all i want. I want no stocks. 100k and we good

rigid quail
lone rapids
#

That international check means auto reject from so many places

teal jackal
#

Is your college prestigious

lone rapids
#

Yes

teal jackal
#

Like how high rank

lone rapids
teal jackal
#

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

rigid quail
#

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

teal jackal
#

And most companies ghosted

teal jackal
#

Your friends didn't struggle? Or do you mean they may have struggled but they long run were fine

rigid quail
teal jackal
#

Is your school prestigious

lone rapids
teal jackal
#

Damn I wish I had your numbers

#

I applied to 100 and had a bad callback rate

rigid quail
lone rapids
teal jackal
#

Yeah no brainer

west egret
lone rapids
#

How did you get into that.

teal jackal
#

T5 cs is a massive privilege actually

rigid quail
#

kinda? bro that’s prestigious

teal jackal
#

I think T5 CS for sure got you past resume screenings

rigid quail
west egret
#

yeah just saw

teal jackal
#

I think uni prestige matters

#

I don't think school prestige as a filter went away

rigid quail
#

more so now that the competition is fiercer than ever

teal jackal
#

It gets more important when the going gets tough

#

Yeah what tree said

vagrant escarp
#

dang..i want a job

rigid quail
#

less spots for the high paying gigs

teal jackal
#

Yep

vagrant escarp
teal jackal
#

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

vagrant escarp
#

how much harder would u guys say it is for bootcampers compared to degrees?

teal jackal
#

Bar for "strong enough" also went up

lone rapids
#

Boot campers almost have no hope

vagrant escarp
#

and also compared to no bootcamp and no degrees and only side projects but shows extensive knowledge

vagrant escarp
ivory stratus
#

esp this year

vagrant escarp
#

but hes the only person I know of and it was like 2-3 years ago

lone rapids
#

This year is built diff

rigid quail
#

bootcampers lurking in the chat rn KEKW_RECESSION_EDITION

west egret
rigid quail
#

100%

vagrant escarp
#

we all got scammed

rigid quail
#

not for cs it’s not

ivory stratus
vagrant escarp
#

oh wait ur right

#

yeah for cs its not

#

good return

west egret
ivory stratus
#

literally so easy to find a job with cs

lone rapids
#

There is no way i could have learned cs without college

vagrant escarp
#

for every other major i agree its a scam

ivory stratus
#

plus you can pay off loans so fast

vagrant escarp
#

but for cs its not, you are right on that

rigid quail
lone rapids
#

Yea

west egret
#

But I think college is important because it puts you in an environment to network and diversify yourself a little

vagrant escarp
#

if ur going to school to major in liberal arts, ur better off moving to a diff country

#

way cheaper

rigid quail
#

covid aside, college was 9/10 experience for me, definitely almost broke me a few times but i’m better for it now

teal jackal
#

It's a completely different context

#

College helps you meet different people with similar career goals

west egret
vagrant escarp
neon perch
#

Has anyone heard back from Flexport for the team matching stages?

ivory stratus
#

yeah i met my SO too

vagrant escarp
#

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

ivory stratus
#

def agree haha

rigid quail
#

i moved to a new country and went to university all at the same time thanospog

teal jackal
#

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

west egret
#

same

#

Although my school isn't even top 100 KEKW_RECESSION_EDITION

teal jackal
#

Anyways I have no idea how I'm gonna date as an adult now

#

I'm fucked

#

Seattle

vagrant escarp
#

oh same @teal jackal

#

also in seattle

teal jackal
rigid quail
#

dating irl is just as hard as college tbh everywhere else but the big social universities in the US

vagrant escarp
rigid quail
#

mine wasn’t and covid made it even worse

lone rapids
timber rock
#

paying for college 😹

vagrant escarp
#

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

rigid quail
timber rock
#

hehe

teal jackal
teal jackal
#

Yeah

timber rock
vagrant escarp
#

yeah its like that if u get a fang job

#

non fang are like 80k new grad

teal jackal
#

I have friends from high school who went to college in Canada

#

But are dual citizens of Canada and the USA

vagrant escarp
#

or yeah it doesnt have to be fang

teal jackal
#

They went to college for cheap in Canada but still got American jobs

#

Envious

teal jackal
timber rock
#

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

west egret
vagrant escarp
#

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?

vagrant escarp
timber rock
#

80k is faang level in the uk lmao

west egret
vagrant escarp
rigid quail
#

yeah canada pay is closer to EU than it is to US

teal jackal
#

Probably because they can

vagrant escarp
#

i even was looking at programming jobs in dubai and middle eastern countries and they pay like nothing...

west egret
#

have you seen healthcare costs in US?

teal jackal
#

Health insurance is such a scam

rigid quail
#

very few companies are kinda on a US payscale

peak ferry
teal jackal
#

You still pay a premium and you still pay a big deductible before insurance starts covering it

vagrant escarp
#

so wait how does healthcare cost make american SWE jobs pay more?

peak ferry
#

my max yearly out of pocket is like 1250 or smth

timber rock
rigid quail
peak ferry
timber rock
#

us is basically the tech hub of the world and we never really had a big salary boom like you guys had for tech

vagrant escarp
peak ferry
#

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

rigid quail
teal jackal
#

correct

#

what happened to the uae?

timber rock
#

cause trust me if faang could get away with paying 80k in the us they would lol

vagrant escarp
#

any of u a 2023 grad with a job?

teal jackal
timber rock
vagrant escarp
#

where?

rigid quail
#

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

west egret
#

what's DB?

vagrant escarp
#

i have been applying for a little over 2 months and kinda losing hope since not getting many responses

west egret
#

can you really count amazon though?

timber rock
#

sucks rn yeah

vagrant escarp
#

but a lot of u guys are still landing jobs right?

timber rock
#

amazon is one of my last hopes lol

teal jackal
#

alterium are u officially on the amazon waitlist?

timber rock
#

im just sitting here with both oa's done, 100% test cases, no final

teal jackal
#

ah

#

they just paused hiring

rigid quail
#

oh damn you’re actively in the loop?

teal jackal
#

no idea when or if youll get the final

rigid quail
#

when did you submit Oa 2?

timber rock
#

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

teal jackal
#

thats crazy

timber rock
rigid quail
#

you’re unofficially waitlisted then cause they’ll probably process people who did final before you and they’re waitlisted

timber rock
#

yea

vagrant escarp
#

ive only done 1 technical interview and i thought it went well but apparently it didnt because i got ghosted lol

timber rock
#

i was checking the site daily for like 2 months

teal jackal
#

I wonder how big of a proportion of people with offers are hoarding multiple offers at the moment

vagrant escarp
#

@teal jackal when did u graduate and do u have a job yet?

west egret
teal jackal
#

I wonder if accepting 2 offers and then reneging will have an impact on the market

west egret
#

and it was a final interview too

teal jackal
vagrant escarp
#

when did u apply there? whats the story

teal jackal
#

Hive

#

yeah

vagrant escarp
#

can i get some tips?

#

lmao bro what did u say

timber rock
#

bro asked for 500k

vagrant escarp
#

damnnn

west egret
#

how many offers were you holding when you did that? lol

vagrant escarp
#

bro u got massive balls askin for 250k xD

#

jealous

teal jackal
west egret
#

I had two

vagrant escarp
#

or even 1 is good

west egret
#

one was return offer

#

I technically have 100% final to offer rate

vagrant escarp
#

when did u interview car guy?

west egret
#

this season

#

because I interviewed with only one company

teal jackal
#

and I was hit with nonstop reusme rejects until october

timber rock
#

processes are going so fkn slow rn

vagrant escarp
teal jackal
#

It was REALLY brutal on me to get resume rejected nonstop

vagrant escarp
#

and started applying a lot earlier

west egret
#

I'd say so

#

I withdrew from C1

timber rock
#

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

vagrant escarp
#

what they paying at hive?

#

for NGs

jaunty basalt
#

You rejected them sure

teal jackal
#

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

pure mauve
#

U mean last fall? Cuz none of those hiring anymore

vagrant escarp

teal jackal
vagrant escarp
#

no one’s great. We just do it a lot

#

Let’s be honest

#

For lc

teal jackal
west egret
#

pure mauve
#

Yeah even for hive

teal jackal
#

Tbh surviving a leetcode interview just requires a lot of good intuition past a certain point

vagrant escarp
pure mauve
#

Had perfect interviews still got reject

vagrant escarp
#

maybe we'll be coworkers lmao

west egret
#

LC premium was worth the $100

vagrant escarp
#

most likely not tho....

west egret
#

even though I only used it for like 2 weeks

vagrant escarp
#

def worth it

pure mauve
#

Lmao whenever u say zon I think zon is an actual company

vagrant escarp
#

damnnnnn

pure mauve
#

Fuck meta tho

#

Rescinding asses

teal jackal
#

not very important imo but it does help if it's high

teal jackal
sonic coral
jaunty basalt
#

Yeah I’d do 3.5+

vagrant escarp
#

sonic coral
#

It also depends on university too imo

sonic coral
vagrant escarp
#

sonic coral
#

They verify you even went there first

And then gpa usually

vagrant escarp
#

oh both of u guys have FANG internships

#

that def helped a lot in getting u credibility

teal jackal
#

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

vagrant escarp
teal jackal
#

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

fossil jewel
#

projects help, so if u dont have internships, make ur own

#

aka projects

teal jackal
fossil jewel
#

for projects, a project is only as good as your "passion for it"

#

if u sound bored asf with it, its gonna show

vagrant escarp
#

hold up gonna post my resume

#

redacting some personal info real quick

teal jackal
#

if youre passionate about the project youll take initiative to make the most out of it

fossil jewel
#

its gonna show when u talk about it too

#

yeah thats why i put " "

vagrant escarp
fossil jewel
#

one of my projects i really enjoyed and i love talking about it

timber rock
#

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

fossil jewel
#

last year i had only projects and no exp

timber rock
#

still wrote about it as if i did it (ssshhh)

fossil jewel
#

it def helped when talking about my skills

#

even in ft interviews i was asked about my fav project on my resume

vagrant escarp
#

but yeah soybean thanks for the neetcode 150 gonna be grinding those in the next couple weeks

teal jackal
# vagrant escarp

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"

vagrant escarp
sonic coral
#

Being concise is fine imo

timber rock
#

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

sonic coral
#

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

teal jackal
#

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

vagrant escarp
#

yeah okay ill remove em

teal jackal
#

and no more than 3 projects

sonic coral
#

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

fossil jewel
#

ye those are good proj

#

react only is meh

teal jackal
#

The resume I sent is actually outdated
My current "flagship" project is a multiplayer game that uses unity netcode

sonic coral
#

Also even school projects work too like if you did a shell in systems class or something

fossil jewel
#

its about wording and complexity

sonic coral
#

Lol same

fossil jewel
#

i only have 1 school proj

#

one is from a hackathon and the other is a robotics one

timber rock
#

this lol

fossil jewel
#

im outta school

vagrant escarp
#

did they ask you about your projects in an interview?

outer radish
#

realistically, if i've got three internships and one at faang do i need projects

fossil jewel
#

for me yeah

outer radish
#

cause i have 0 on mine rn lmao

sonic coral
#

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

outer radish
teal jackal
#

I think its recommended to have a small project space for new grads

teal jackal
teal jackal
#

that's a pretty good role

fossil jewel
#

thats even better

teal jackal
#

that should be on your resume

fossil jewel
#

bc soft skills

sonic coral
teal jackal
#

I think you can put that under projects and extracurriculars in general

#

in some way

sonic coral
#

And like 2-4 bullets about what you did

outer radish
#

yeah workshops that I led, helping code reviews and building out an ecommerce site for the club

teal jackal
#

I honestly think your exec role at a cs club substitutes a project

outer radish
#

where the interviews at tho

fossil jewel
#

soft skills >>>>

timber rock
#

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

teal jackal
timber rock
#

honestly would not surprise me if the auto resume screens were picking up the words amazon and bloomberg and putting me through

outer radish
#

yeah thats fair, just gotta keep the grind up

fossil jewel
#

like we're all capable of being able to churn out projects and read docs

#

but working with others is hard to learn

teal jackal
#

tech companies will be gobbling that shit up
Tech is tired of hiring too many asocial autists like me

#

ecksdee

outer radish
#

its just my leetcoding

#

like I need to push the boundaries of my LC skills fr

vagrant escarp
#

do they fact check people if they say they've interned at FANG?

#

not saying I'm gonna straight up make shit up

fossil jewel
#

background check after offer

vagrant escarp
#

but just curious lol

teal jackal
#

you never want to lie since eventually theyll find out

vagrant escarp
fossil jewel
#

mine did

#

if there was a check and w2

#

then it was to be put

teal jackal
#

I am an honest person who works hard and would NEVER lie about earning something that isn't mine dogesmile

vagrant escarp
#

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

fossil jewel
#

like i had the start date of one of my min wage jobs wrong and i had to submit a correction

fossil jewel
#

bc they called up the job and got the date different

vagrant escarp
#

well they had to manually call the place

fossil jewel
#

yeah it was a simple submit a recent check and w2

#

wasnt gonna arrest me or shit

teal jackal
#

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

fossil jewel
teal jackal
#

Shit now im lowkey paranoid about that

fossil jewel
timber rock
fossil jewel
#

your credit score will drop to 0

#

no house no cars

teal jackal
#

I rounded it up to December 2021 since it just looks cleaner than saying it ended in November

fossil jewel
#

nah thats okay

vagrant escarp
#

hmm i should round up on my internships too

#

most of mine go to the end of the month i put on there

teal jackal
#

if its May to Aug no need to round up

#

imo

#

if its May to Jul I'd round up

vagrant escarp
#

like july-sep makes it feel like its 2 months

fossil jewel
#

i had jun to aug

#

do i round down

vagrant escarp
#

but it was july to end of sep

fossil jewel
#

i could've just said to not call the job and provided check stub and first w2

teal jackal
fossil jewel
#

guess to see start date

teal jackal
#

i thought the background check company already shows them that?

#

makes sense

fossil jewel
#

think maybe diff date between onboarding and actually starting maybe?

teal jackal
#

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

fossil jewel
#

i just got fingerprints taken

teal jackal
#

which makes sense

vagrant escarp
#

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

fossil jewel
#

my internship didnt ask me for employment verification

#

fulltime conversion did

west egret
teal jackal
#

Amazon didn't do a background check on me as an intern actually

vagrant escarp
#

wait how sure are u that they can find your employment information?

teal jackal
#

they just were like "i trust u bro"

west egret
#

I think my BG check only asked for past 3 years though

fossil jewel
#

yeah

vagrant escarp
#

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

fossil jewel
#

i mean u can conceal info

vagrant escarp
#

ah

fossil jewel
#

if its not on resume then they wont know

west egret
#

which is good because I hate keeping track of past apartments

fossil jewel
#

but you might get caught

teal jackal
#

does being overemployed set off any alarms during background checks?

tardy geode
teal jackal
#

yeah I figured

fossil jewel
#

yeah ssn is always asked for

#

and/or i-9 verification

vagrant escarp
#

i think its based on what you put down urself

fossil jewel
#

its the IRS

#

that has your history

vagrant escarp
#

yeah but tech companies, do they have access to IRS info?

teal jackal
#

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

fossil jewel
#

there's probably a service of some sort

vagrant escarp
#

yeah

west egret
#

You include phone numbers too. So they can verify through that.

vagrant escarp
#

but i mean....if there was a way to find out...then the whole overemployed thing wouldnt work

teal jackal
#

fortunately my overemployment is running a meth lab from my RV

#

all that shit is under the books

west egret
#

They also mainly check the stuff that's on your resume afaik?

fossil jewel
#

imagine double dipping in meetings

teal jackal
#

its possible if youre careful about planning out your jobs

vagrant escarp
#

yeah...most of them talk about only doing remote positions

teal jackal
#

I'd say the only thing I'm worried about with overemployment is setting off a red flag for background checks

fossil jewel
#

yeah i always wonder how those people do it

vagrant escarp
teal jackal
vagrant escarp
#

if u are a high performer, then why not make extra money

fossil jewel
#

yeah but u know how companies are

teal jackal
#

I just wouldn't want to wreck my chances to job hop

vagrant escarp
#

many people have 1 job and have their side hustle/side business

fossil jewel
#

expect u to simp

vagrant escarp
#

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

fossil jewel
#

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

outer radish
#

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

fossil jewel
#

im learning to drive and the instructor got a camry

#

i like it

teal jackal

The current gen Camry is REALLY good

fossil jewel

he's too busy tho sadge

#

i havent had a lesson in 3 weeks

vagrant escarp
#

ye camrys are super reliable

fossil jewel
#

wheel is sturdy

outer radish

then they hit me with SQL query after SQL query

fossil jewel
#

my brother complains his elantra is too light

outer radish
#

deferred my database exam so I started doing SQL after the interview

#

so naw not yet lmaooo

teal jackal
#

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

vagrant escarp
#

i know so little about SQL lol

outer radish
vagrant escarp

if i need to do sql stuff i just google it

outer radish

if its there, fair and square

vagrant escarp
#

should i be bolding anything?

outer radish
#

yeah im actually a dumbass for adding it there then

vagrant escarp
#

car, i noticed on ur resume u didnt

teal jackal
#

you dont need to bold

#

its personal preference

fossil jewel
#

personally i didnt bold, i think its preference

vagrant escarp
#

ah kk ill just keep mine bolded then since i already did

teal jackal
#

I didn't bold but if you want to bold something you want to bold metrics and tech used

#

important keywords

I looked it up in the chat but couldn't find anything

jovial latch

housing is expensive everywhere these days tbh

fossil jewel
#

its just 1 bullet point

jovial latch
#

theyre shitty work experiecnes

#

so they're less detailed

#

the real stuff is higher up

#

where i actually did shit

fossil jewel
#

ye

#

that looks pretty good up top

jovial latch
#

mind you i cant go to 2 pages but im not gonna like, not list a work experience

fossil jewel
#

oh ofc not

jovial latch
#

ive debated removing the skills part but keyword filters ya know

fossil jewel
#

but if u were to expand those, you can take off the things in proj and extra

fossil jewel
#

thing about skills section is that its easier on the eyes to read thru

jovial latch
#

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

fossil jewel
#

fair

#

pretty good to have some exp

jovial latch
#

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

fossil jewel
#

yeah u dont have any ML stuff thats bigger?

#

maybe expand on projects?

jovial latch
#

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
