prime palm
#

Are you from the bay / live at home?

#

110k is great, you might lose a good chunk of it to yearly rent

#

but if you are from the bay you can save like hella on rent

#

Anyone is going to do a M.Sc? Waiting for this shitshow to be over

vagrant escarp
#

personaly i dont think the solution to this is to go back to school to get even more useless education

#

it is rough out here for NGs but its not impossible

prime palm
#

Just wait until July / August this year, then go hard on 2024 new grad apps

pure mauve
#

Anyone ever get an HR interview/zoom after final rounds for TikTok?

prime palm

yo @pure mauve u were the guy with a 1point3acres subscription right?

#

Bro it’s not healthy to always look at number of applicants

#

It’s meaningless because resume screen is RNG anyways

fossil jewel
#

not how many actually submit an app

jaunty storm
#

I was told 600 applicants for one job. I was like, “I just need to send 600 for about a 2/3 odds for a call back.”

#

I ask myself what does the average new grad look like?

#

Then I look in the mirror and say that my only competition is you.

#

Has anyone interviewed in England before? Is there anything, that I should note cultural wise?

I was going to mention my desire to visit Strafrd-Upon-Avon and the story behind the greatest Easter egg.

#

#

Reality can be cruel sometimes.

jovial latch
#

well yea thats why i have clinical fucking depression

jaunty storm
#

What I do is limit my social media usage and focus on my hobbies.

jaunty storm
#

It helps to seek out help.

jovial latch
#

i got all that no worries

#

hehe

#

its funny though, i act a completely different person in interviews, but then again that what you're supposed to do

jaunty storm
#

I realized even if I do make it. This sadness will follow me for a long time. Getting past it will take some work.

jovial latch
#

act all interested about shit and the future

jaunty storm
#

That's one weakness of mine. Not enough enthusiasm.

#

I don't know if I can sustain a fake smile 40 hours a week.

jovial latch
#

yiu just need to sustain a fake smile in interviews

neon perch
#

The amount of times I’ve faked smiled on interviews

jovial latch
#

ya no kidding

@jovial latch you got it dawg

#

there's almost always something u can do to improve the situation

#

you may not see it as the person in the situation, but if u adopt the mindset of "i did everything right, yet i still failed" it prevents u from actual growth and people end up just playing victim and becoming depressed

jaunty storm
shut crescent

shut crescent
#

they can do it cuz shit market ig

vagrant escarp
#

and can always start out at that job and just keep applying

#

dont know ur specific situation but u will really regret if u decline and just end up not being able to find another job

shut crescent
#

its good to have something atleast at this time cuz economy is so bad for new grads

rain patio
#

its terrible ngl

shut crescent
#

i wouldve tried to negotiate just a little if the economy wasnt so bad

#

yeah man

#

im still applying to jobs and im legit getting 0 interviews

rain patio
#

i bet 2024 new grad hiring is gunna be atrocious

shut crescent
#

i know some 2022 grads that are still looking for jobs a year later

#

not fair at all man, that sucks

rain patio
#

i got laid off in nov from Lyft, 0 responses from new grad jobs KEKW

#

i had some units left so i just applied to internships

shut crescent
#

damn what really, even with experience ur not getting any interviews?

#

oh like lyft internship?

rain patio
#

lyft intern + 3 mo. of new grad

#

0 responses lmao

shut crescent
#

damn man

#

yeah im not getting any either

rain patio
#

i had an amazing % for internships tho

shut crescent
#

the only reason i got this full time is cuz i started as intern, got part time with then, now full time starts after i graduate next month

rain patio
#

nc nc

#

yeah so even now my recruiters say return offers for interns are up in the air

#

which i bet is the case everywhere

shut crescent
#

yeah it is ive heard so many stories where no one got return offers back

#

they offered stipends or something after the internship too at some places

#

i think economy might stay this bad for a year too tbh

#

i dont see it just brushing over anytime soon with all this shit going on

#

what a shit time to graduate

rain patio
#

ye im curious how things will be in sept

shut crescent
#

im hoping everything clears up but like idk man

#

it kinda looks like tough times are still ahead

#

its crazy though, usually i would get like 1-2 interviews every like 100 + apps but im getting 0 back

#

tried applying on indeed, linkedin, career pages, etc

daring gazelle
#

also depression isn't that bad its just a biological reaction saying that "you fucked up this is fucked and you need to fix it NOW"

# prime palm How?

Do u think if u do everything perfect and right u can still fall short?

vagrant escarp
prime palm
#

I think I fulfilled my obligations of what an intern should deliver at facebook and didn't get a return offer, but I understand most people weren't and economy was ass

#

This and many other examples

#

There's already so much hate and negativity in the world

#

You don't need to bash yourself further

#

Be empathetic with yourself

#

There's only so many things you can get right then the rest is up to chance

fossil jewel
#

somethings are out of our control

rain patio
#

Bin/bash

fossil jewel
#

bin/zsh

vagrant escarp
#

and yeah i understand that is a bit hard just because it does take a certain level of humility to always reflect on ur own actions, but i think its something worth practicing

full garden
#

there were G.E interns that just got rejected at fb. they objectively could not have done anything better

prime palm
#

Not the best mindset

#

Rejection is just redirection

#

Part of life

#

You won't get through life always 100% getting what you want, all the time

#

Sometimes you have to go through the valley of despair to reach the peak of enlightenment

vagrant escarp
#

but yeah i mean if u really think u did your best, then its okay to let go and just accept that there was nothing you could do

#

but im more talking about for people upset about their situation

If it didn't pan out then w/e onto the next

#

Admittedly yes there's learnings in looking at why you might've failed at something too

#

But eh...aside from that why dwell

#

More productive things to do than mope around the rest of my life

#

I got leetcode to grind

vagrant escarp
prime palm
#

Good job son

vagrant escarp
#

but theres people being like "i do everything perfect" but still cant get a job

prime palm
#

Yeah

#

That's a lot of people

vagrant escarp
#

but yeah go grind ur LC

#

thats what im doing rn too

prime palm
#

If there's X jobs and Y people looking

#

And X << Y

vagrant escarp
prime palm
#

What can you do?

#

Not much

vagrant escarp
#

u can always do more projects, be better at LC

rain patio
#

just look at past financial crises

vagrant escarp
#

its not easy...dont get me wrong

#

but there are things u can do

prime palm
#

Being better at leetcode wont make more jobs spawn

vagrant escarp
#

it makes it so if u are given an opportunity, u'll be more likley to not fumble the bag

#

if u suck at lc, even if jobs do appear infront of u, and u suck at LC, they will think u don't know how to code or cant communicate

prime palm
#

I understand your POV Dan

rain patio
#

you just need to wait till there's a real downturn

#

then your opinion will change

prime palm
#

Also I like your profile pic can u dm it to me @rain patio

Or where did u get it

that's how some professionals ended up becoming like taxi drivers or other min. wage workers in past crises

ancient raft

hey can you please tell me what did they ask in the interview?

chilly burrow
#

Damn, sorry to hear that

night marsh
#

I was upfront and told them that I wanted to do industry right after undergrad, but I was considering grad school after a couple of years. Idt they really liked the "couple of years" part

ancient raft
#

Okay got it, ill read about their culture and prepare for that kind of answer. Have you completed all the rounds?

chilly burrow
#

I'm done recruiting

ancient raft
#

okay, did they mention anything about OA?

stone granite
#

They will mention about OA if you pass the recruiter screening

#

It’s on Codingame there are 3 questions and you are given like 80-90 minutes I think

#

It is locked to the language that you and the recruiter agree upon

#

You cannot change language during the OA

night marsh
#

They said they'd give me an update, so idt I got the OA phase

maybe masters degree with 70k remote job or somethn

Extreme amount of it given the competition in the market rn. Layoffs + few NG positions = hell for every 50k jobs

# teal jackal Or can you still do an internship as a grad

I accepted a master's offer as well but I told my team that I'm reconsidering grad and so far (knock on wood) I'm still set to do my master's internship.
I'm applying for NG still tho so best case I do my internship in Summer and then if I don't get something/ret by Fall, I reapply in Fall

#

NG has been super dry esp this past week. What hasn't been dry is the number of rejections I got this weekend

teal jackal

Makes sense

I know a fella who gave up on new grad and decided to not graduate early

Help! idk why for no reason at all I went ahead and updated my visual studio to the latest version and later had to install some workloads like ASP.Net and web development. Now it's stuck at this point and I can't use the visual studio at all. Ayyone had similar issues, appreciate any suggestions. Been googling but haven't found any workable solution yet.

# grizzled bronze Why? Details?

My summer internship experience was the worst i feel . Manager was first time managing interns in his career , had no clue how to manage . he assigned a mentor who had zero knowledge about the tech stack that I am gonna use to make the project . Had a co-intern who was atrociously hard to work with(ffs she was thinking in the end only one would get a return offer) . There were no 1:1's anytime , mentor least cared about the project . When i used to get stuck he used to redirect me to other engineers who had no clue about my project so they were not able to help me as much as they could , so all the time i was all on my own . It was stressful and most of the times i felt very overworked . I remember some few days when I was so stressed that I didn't eat for 2 days , had neck aches and what not . since mentor didn't have any knowledge about JS he would just fricking throw random things at me to do then at one point I told him that this is not possible in JS but he was like you know more JS than me it should be easy and all of that . in between manager was on PTO for a month . there were status calls every 2 days between me manager mentor and the other intern , in the start manager did attend the calls but after a point he stopped attending he had no clue of what was going on . in the last few weeks when manager came back from the pto he kept a call to present it to the team , in that also he left midway . mentor didn't show up . I felt like giving up at times but somehow i mustered up courage and was able to overcome blockers . I almost made an api authoring tool in the end which i am really proud of . but i didn't get a return offer and the mail that my manager sent me regarding the decision made me sad and angry at the same time as he mentioned that "due to specific skills and experiences required in the role we can't give you a return offer" .

#

I did have the skills(react and js) and the experience too . this shattered my confidance a bit and i felt as if i worked so hard for nothing .

#

I tried reaching out but he doesn't reply , shows no interest .

#

a couple of other intern managers placed their interns in some other teams if they didn't have HC . my manager was not proactive at all . its was as if like he didn't want interns at the first place .

#

this hurts till today

  • both my roommates got jobs from their return offers and they only had bachelors degrees
  • went to 2 career fairs and didnt get anything out of them
  • ive been told my resume is pretty damn good, yea obviously not faang tier but its good enough

Like bro ima be blunt with u since we are strangers on the internet and u can take it or leave it…but set realistic expectations. Employment is just u and a company trading time for money, that’s all it is, unless written in contract, they can drop u at any time. They don’t owe u anything and u don’t owe them anything. They can bring 10 people into a final round of interviews and pick 1 that they like best, that’s their right. And u can accept an offer and dip out if u see a better one, that’s ur right

#

Getting mad and saying “I deserve this job because I’m more than qualified” or comparing urself with roommates is gonna do nothing positive for ur mental health

#

I’m sure I’m less qualified and have less experience on my resume compared to u but even im hearing back from multiple companies
