depends, I Used to take Concerta
can I still apply for NG roles even I am not a NG anymore?
Hi everyone any jobs? No? Kk
When? Were they a returning intern?
Not a return intern
They got it this past week?
Dunno
Did they apply this year?
What should the eaf date in this environment
Eaf?
when a EM says "business is business" in a general behavioral interview is that a red flag ? (not asking for myself but in general)
What is eaf?
I don't have any offer as of now , if I have apply for ead when should I do it and what should be it's ead date in this market condition
thats a tough one and most def a gamble but your start date should be within 60days of your graduation
i'm planning to put mine for jul 5th
still havent applied yet
choosing a date without an offer is stressing
yea i grad last december and wont start until May, its a little sus
that middle period is super weird
I lowkey want to apply for the opt now for June 15 in case I get an internship, but I don’t want to put a start date without an offer
can you still apply to internships as NG? i thought most programs require that you are in school
Def the internship opportunities are less for new grads, but I look at the job description, and if it doesn’t say graduate by 2024 or 2025, I just apply
^
how many hours do you guys spend on lc/building projects or anything that contributes to the job hunt each day?
my entire day 
so if i block a person on blind , still my chats would be present at their end?
grinding projects and leetcode and uni classes really hard rn trying to prep for august interviews that I'm totally not ready for
or they just aren’t visible to either?
why would you block a Blind person?
They're probably refering to teamblind.com an anonymous social networking platform for those working at corporations, with a large amount of tech worker users.
he means teamblind.com
ik it was a joke lol
got an hrt phone tomorrow, ik I won't make it past that so can't muster up the motivation to study
how do you even study for hrt phone?
Sleep
do u guys apply for promoted jobs on linkedin btw
can't
you get drunk and code
Been looking for good nights sleep, let's start with that 
anyone know and jobs hiring in nyc? asking for a friend
or high
coding when ur high is actually OP but maybe i just have adhd
you got the Codesignal OA or direct interview ?
How ridiculously hard is getting into HFTs?
gpa and school generally actually matter too

this first tbh
i mean most give out auto OAs ig and then they screen resumes
yeah i mean u gotta get past the resume screen before u can get interviews
so it doesnt matter if youre insane at those topics if they say nah 

What if you include on your resume that Jeff Bezos is your dad?
then theyd probably wonder why youre not already a vp at zon and reject you


Just got a final round interview offer for moody's analytics, anyone have any advice?
Also for those in shambles, keep your head up and keep leetcoding! I thought I failed the OA (1 problem I got 2/15 passed other problem 14/15), so even if you don't get the problem right, focus on writing readable code? Not sure why I got the interview but hopefully that helps
they are interviewing you to tell you how bad your code solution was
it depends on company
for some small shops they're not so picky
but if you aiming for big ones like cit/2s/js/hrt
you typically need to be handy with LC + good with fundamentals
like os/network/db
to make sure you've got strong domains
esp for hrt c++ is great
2s is more like a LC shop
if you're able to speedcode LC hard in 30mins then W
but they have very limited headcount this year
How do you clear resume screening though if you're not ivy league?
hft or in general?
hfts
if for hft lots of places don't actually have a strict resume bar
they send oa to everyone
like almost
if you do well and have relevant internship experience
school names don't matter too much
well yeah but then they all resume screen after
Check for a new job posting
yeah i mean if you do well + have relevant internship
relevant as in another hft 
Been resume screened out of most hfts other than the low tier ones. Ut austin + 4 internships. Idk what to do lmao.

rope
Got rejected with auto reply within 10 seconds, what is this world
lemme try
Not this one, theres another posting called Build your own Role
btw I have 3.5 years of exp 
oh fr? where did you intern at
ut austin is dope
2 smaller companies, apple, unicorn
started my timer
Now check all conversations in your inbox
Prob but idk if I’m getting rescinded
Yeah, it's for this posting, not the Software Engineer one
Build Your Own Role
New York, NY
$90K - $125K
0.09% - 0.90%
Any (New Grads Ok)
tf is build your own role 
It's where you can ask for brown rice instead of white rice

Nope it's for all rolez
It may say otherwise but I was told that they're hiring entry-level across all roles
F'it I'm applying to everything then
based
what hft interviews did you get and where did you apply to tho
that feels kinda weird tbh
apple+verkada very great resume value
DP is hard
Ye
Heard back: SIG, wolverine trading, Optiver (ran out of hc)
Applied: Above + jane street, hrt, peak6, jump trading, 2sig, drw, imc, citadel, virtu, akuna, radix, headlands
2s and hrt both hired much less than before
Sig/opt is not low tier tho
They are definitely tier 1.5
At least
Idk optiver was literally recruiter screen then oops we ran out of hc
Isn’t sig kinda old in terms of tech and pay
.net tho 😦
Is year1 actually 260k or did they adjust to market
Nvm looks like the most recent offer is 190k
also, hft places don't typically have a fixed pkg
they can be easily influenced by competing offers
so i'd say cap would be 300k+
i am not sure if the market for hft might be better in july/aug
but recently lot of places r not hiring juniors
passing the interviews and getting offers are totally diff things
by juniors i mean new grad
Heard anything yet with regards to H1B?


same 
but getting the job matters
Naw H1B results come in April
I probably got it but I got 2 more years of OPT so it's chill
Honestly this was bullshit to me. They only care about offers from other HFTs. They don't care about your barely 180k TC at Uber.
I got 350k for Cit but offers on levels were 400k+ for the same position...
Gotta flex it somehow lmfao
Naw I went to a T50 school and had no name internships
Just lucked out
Also my year was a lot easier to get in
Yogi got massive package 
Thanks man, I mostly spam it here for the flex but like it's also for people to understand that ivy's or FAANG internships don't matter as much as you'd think
If I am graduating in December, when should I start looking for recent grad position?
No competitive programming and I did maybe around 100 LC in total
You graduate in December but haven't started? I'd be worried bro. Gotta start the LC grind from fetus
ngl I'm pretty hopeless about the job market
If I can't find anything by October gonna be deported lul
seems a bit early for december grad isnt it? i mean most new grad posts up rn say u have to grad in may
LC during sex 
Yeah for us international folk it's wack
dec grads usually apply with the may grads for next year
Your uni can help you btw no worries
I've had people get jobs at uni to stay and continue their F1
Pay is shit and you'll struggle financially but it's atleast an alternative. WITCH is also hiring too...

Yeah but it's better than being deported lmfaoo
yeah i meant other offers with similar initial TC
witch will keep u in the country at least and if youre lucky you might get a good placement
Naw it's right about time for positions in December to fill up. Most of HC is completed in Jan anyway so December grads are anticipated in advance too
Hard to get other offers like that from non HFT companies... Best I did was 300k at Bloomberg and even that took a lot of nego
Best placement I've seen was 85k at an actual tech company. It can be good if you're lucky
yeah that's hard indeed. The only thing ik was stripe last year but that included equity/rsu

ya i meant like you might get placed at a good company
They just hate us cuz they ain't us
faang hires contractors from witch, banks like jpm/goldman take a lot too
pay will be ass compared to your peers obv
No benefits either

The only benefit I care for is insurance
Cause I don't wanna spend $4000 to see a dentist
my friend at meta had some consultancy ppl in her team and they werent allowed to invite them to team lunches or dinners
lmfao
I think if I passed that final on HRT, I could have gotten over the 400k bump at Cit. Either way I'd prob never work at a HFT now
The comp evens out at L5-L6
Where do you work now?
At G we're more open for our TVCs but yeah it's still very exclusionary lol
rip
ye
My offers don't mean nothing now icl
How
My TC puts me at risk for layoffs 
Who's hiring in Canada?
They will have to sponsor a work permit, unlike for the US
I don't think a young dude with a bachelor's degree and < 1 YoE is able
so did you jump to G as L5/L6?
No as an L3 lmfaoo
My bro is a citizen so I'll probably get US citizenship in like 20 years lol
Sounds about right if you're Indian or Chinese
yessir
But it's Canada 
for masters, do you mean masters in Canada or the US works here
I think it has to be Canada
6000 granted since 2017 seems pretty hard to get
One thing I'll say is. I make about 290k now thanks to my raise but I got in at 265k here at Google. That's already pretty high.
I can easily get 400-500k as an L5 and that'll be like an L3 at a hedge fund, but I'd be taxed less because 50% of my salary isn't bonus lol
US sponsorship is wild
ah yeah that makes sense. The bonus taxation is terribly high
Yup. It's a purposefully tedious process meant to make you understand that you're an inferior species coming into THEIR land.
But I love America
Perfect I already know french
I was thinking about companies that do mostly cash based comp like Netflix. 500k at Netflix is golden
H1B is okay as long as you're in a big tech company lol
the lottery stuff is just so dumvb
To be fair
The insurance thing applies to Americans too
But legit the system is designed to make you feel like shit
and Democrats only care about illegals, not skilled workers 
how do canadian employers look at sponsorship? Like you know in the US its like frowned upon unless you have like some mega experience
Ah gotcha. Right now my salary is a pretty even split on salary and equity.
I meant like for future compensation, I'd seek more cash heavy opportunities at L5-L6 that I can leverage more directly than someone with a performance based bonus
most aren't familiar with it, really... most just don't understand how it works. Big companies likely have no such problems, though
quite frankly I dont wanna move to canada but if moving there means I can get experience in north america so I can potentially move to the US later down the line, I'm all for it
don't need a car is pretty dependent on city
like one could argue that TC is shit but where I need to go back, TC is non existent in comparison
right, but, places like Saskatchewan and PEI can be easier to get sponsored for
got most of my friends here
I applied to squarepoint in montreal
but haven't heard back

why not
their other offices are in London and Singapore
Who wants to go to Britain or Singapore
I'm never gonna get a PR there
no
i did so i also have that as an option but idk how the market is for tech in the UK
actually wait
I know somebody who did PEI (for a bit, eventually moving to Ontario), don't know anyone who's personally done Saskatchewan, though, but yes, it's definitely a possible play (and, if doing it, a car's kind of part of the cost of doing so, really)
no they just give you a 2 year work visa(not renewable but is transferrable)
the government has a list on their website
haha fucked
my school is t50 US
hmm
I just need money for grad school
anyways
time to do SIG OA bois
Is it hard af?
i think its 1 year full time, i have 1 year part time (aka 200hours short of a full time)
gotcha
Lmao only took them 6 months after the final to send the rejection
Geez
on paper I'll have 1300 then rip, i thought it was 1500 or something
Does the company control what questions asked by kArat? Or is it totally up to the interviewer?
there’s no I in team
“I regret to inform you….
…. Regards,
XYZ Recruiting TEAM”
get your shit together RBI
and we’re the ones getting rejected smh
Where at?
I don't wanna disclose..................
Fair
I just want to be sedated
Yeah same
This is after getting rescinded and now a promising one getting cancelled
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Yeah back in december I completed second to final with two companies and thought I killed it in the interviews only for both companies to pause hiring
suifuel
im so sorry this shit is asssss
Any backup plans if things don't work out for a couple of months?
Mcdonalds
Shiii hope it gets better for u
too late for that
I wish I had gotten my masters/done a coterm program
master's admission deadlines are like december
so if you didn't apply then
rip
Yeah
I can't afford to go anyways
If I can't get anything I'm just gonna try to get some cheap af job if I can
Consultancy bro don't ignore that option
Is it possible one might be asked for another phone interview At Google after giving one? anyone's got any idea?
Should I even bother applying to a role posted 2+ months ago
even consultancies have no clients
as clients themselves are cutting costs
But they can sponsor h1b at least
maybe
Don't need H1B
You don’t get nothing
oh is ramp giving rejections out now huh, saw a couple peopel in the process channel getting rejects
Don't need a work visa for 3 years
Ah then don’t do consultancy
After that I do
But in order to stay in the US I have to have STEM employment
So I do need a job
Ah tough
I think some smaller places still hiring
Just got oa from 2k
So maybe look into that as well
What position?
C++ sde I think
Do you guys know legit consultancies? All i see are those shady ones
WITCH isn't shady
Isn’t that from rockstar
anyone know what to search for to find consultancy jobs? like what you might look up on linkedIn?
2K owns rockstar
thats right
is there any company hiring entry level SDE?
F500s are still, like all of your generic big corps are
its mostly tech companies at the moment that have stopped entry level
if possible can you name few of them
I have been applying to all companies irrespective of their ranking and still didn't got any online assessment
same

me too
the levels.fyi site has a list of no-names who are hiring entry level software engineers. They might be located in unfavorable places like Kentucky or Louisiana, but they are still companies looking for people nonetheless
Hey, do you think you can send a link to this list?
There might be companies that you've seen before, but I was able to find multiple central / southern companies looking for people
Is the website bugged? I can't scroll to see anything
I just see one company to the left
Worked for me
The simplify extension breaks the site for some reason
you can open the site in another browser or in incognito
im like clinging onto a sliver of hope cause i didnt get the auto reject from ramp yet lmao
should one settle for anything in this economy?
lets say one gets low pay in a HCOL ?
@grim ore Yes for both?
i see
idk why even with a matching resume i am getting rejected
like job description and my resume were very aligned

@grim ore 
me too buddy
pass the rope

Did you get all 4?
I slid into recruiter DM and still got rejected
But I only did 3/4
Yeah it says minimum 2 but I wonder if they just filtering by 4 LMAO
well that would be stupid cause i only submitted 2
Nice which ones did you get?
idk
You can figure out at least two it's ez
DM if you need help
I'm not tight lipped like @jovial latch

Yeah was joking around, I've figured some out, never bothered to finish it since I'm 100% sure I'd fail resume stage even after CTF 
They have a high bar
CTF only exists to filter out excessive apps
Solving all of them is not a guaranteed interview
well thats fuckin retarded, then they should have said 4
Basically see who cares enough to do all 4 😭
Not sure what their bar is for resume
I look at them on LinkedIn and they're not that insane
High tier internships but not many faang
Not sure wtf they want
Auto reject?
Nice
😍
1xrain forest insta reject
Probably cuz I'm Canadian too
Sponsorship headache
@prime palm can you pls explain one of the flags? I already got rejected I'm just curious how to do it
Oh ok nvm
2022 was not a recession yet 
Jk I'm just coping
imagine the average CS grad
But those people are higher YOE
I got 4/4 every time but it's always a reject 🙃
Did you get the current one?
wow what a buncha cunts, literally should have said 4/4 then
meanwhile 2021:
ye it's always the same process I think. they just change the names of the flags
Makes sense though
shoulda done more than the bare minimum
and I shoulda done more than slightly more than the bare minimum 
Please don't discuss answers here
one of these days im going to snap
i jsut wnat to get a damn job and move on with my life
that wasn't an answer what you just deleted
i fucked up a coding round for an internship today
it was a recursive solution and i only got 2/4 base cases right
wonder if they'll still consider me
I kno
theyll be lucky to have you


feels like i messed up real bad though. don't think many other companies will be ready to take a new grad for an intern role
i've kinda given up on new grad
nah i'm just applying anyway
It's easy to mess up, just keep applying in the mean time, internships are popping up daily
i think some companies don't mind new grads as interns
I just landed an internship as a new grad!
ahhhh yea i gotta
hows that work i just apply randomly to a bunch
who the fucks still hiring at this point for interns
i mean fuckkkkkkkkkk i should have been doing that
god im just, tired
I applied to a bunch of internships, but tbh this came out of a FT role I had originally applied for….so ya the market is fckd lol
hehe yea that sounds about right
I kept applying to this company’s FT roles that were also accepting entry-level, but they kept going with more senior engineers. Despite me getting thru the interview process and getting great feedback.
Then they suggested an internship they were offering in the summer, so I took it!
the company i ahd previously interned for stopped hiring in america and also stopped hiring interms because 'they werent using their offshore indian team enough'
needless to say, i was not happy
bruh shoulda just speed ran my degree b4 layoffs
I am also flattered by your flexing while rejecting
would you mind sharing the name of the company?
Is this HRT?
This is Reddit
I think SRE is harder to get with no experience
Chat GPT for improving my resume works 
Is the situation really bad in Canada as well ?
ya

what's the strat for new grads right now?
only thing I can think of are projects + open source contributions
They’re called Olo
Do I need a projects section as a new grad if I have like 6 things to put in the work exp section?
So just education skills and work exp and nothing else
On the other side of the coin, you could have been part of the layoffs if you graduated earlier. Granted you’d have more money at least.
Does anyone know of any good schools still taking applications for masters in computer science starting fall this year?
Uh you missed out with the good schools but I know UC Berkeley MS in data science (online) program still accepting
Georgia tech probably still accepting as rolling basis
Most ‘big name’ schools are done when it comes to in-person experience.
It’s their way of saying ‘hahahahahahahahahah’.
yeah that's true, i feel like for the most part tho - you'll probably fare better if ur in a role and take the layoffs chances
Project may still help, but at that point seems unnecessary.
Yeah I was just thinking cause I have a lot to list down under work exp so I didn’t find the reason to include projects
Hope it doesn’t backfire
apps closed for fall 2023 admit
Indeed
@outer radish are you actually a staff software engineer at wendy’s?
No hes a principle swe at wendy
No i am wendy
Nah he’s CEO
my anxiety is shooting up day by day , even roles where my resume matches(my feeling) I am getting rejected

i don't know what more i should do , i got my resume reviewed so many times
i am doing LC , I am applying . I am doing everything thats in my power
same
this is worrying ,depressing and very demotivating
why life treats hardworkers like this


plus i am international , it is very stressful
i don't know what more i should do , i want to feel happy again which i haven't felt in months
feel ya
gl with the battle!
it's for sure the toughest season we've gone through
Stay strong brother, you will make it
yeah i am international too... it absolutely sucks
seeing this year's h1b result, feels like the battle's never gonna end
international suffering gang

anyone ever got rejected but the recruiter shared their linkedin to get connected?
happened to me lol
lol, wonder if it will take me anywhere but no harm connecting ig
i also doubt that
but that's very rare
one was 2s where i got verbal offer
another was gopuff
interesting, did the verbal offer get any further?
nah they pulled cuz no hc
damn
got an interview for Ecentric Inc. They want me to disclose my name, phone number, and location before conducting the interview.
I'm tired of these scam companies
I mean your phone number and name are already on your resume
Location seems irrelevant
I've already given them this information on my job application. This interview email isn't even from their main company.

Its from a third party called virtualscreeninterviews@gmail.com
understandable, but, also something you need to do something about. High anxiety isn't going to help you to do the things you need to do at the level you need to do them to progress. This might be the first career-related anxiety situation you're going through but it's unlikely to be the last (other common ones include things like going through a merger/acquisition, downsizing, crunch times, etc.). Community helps, physical activity/exercise helps, there's other things, too, like taking a long perspective (or seeking medical intervention if it's really bad, etc.) Good luck.

getting an interview is difficult, till now no interviews
hope so 

i agree
hope so
we'll all make it someday 


jorb pl,lease i want a j ob
tbh i never got any hopes up for the career fair
even though i went to a target
my uni had ours a few weeks ago and no one there was hiring lol
they all were telling us to apply in 2024
yeah every company just says apply online
😭
lmao went to local career fair and none of them were hiring except Tesla
I've had the most success reaching out to the recruiters later and askin for my application to be looked at
ah you're cracked then
i had almost nothing from the career fair
Nah, not cracked
Is there a discord for Quant SWE positions
gotta train until quant opens up in a couple months
this kinda depends on luck imo
career fair is too large
Well ofc, but it's still worth trying
yeah i mean there's kinda nothing else we can do in this market
what's funny is out of all means of applying to jobs
i got the highest response rate through direct online apps
how
This^ just ask them to review ur qualifications
So simple
gets me an interview every time
i also wonder tbh
literally for 90%+ of my referrals/reachout to recruiters i got ghosted
I just got resume rejected
Or given insane hackerranks
One company gave me 3 medium leetcode problems + 2 SQL queries and a jQuery question to do in 90 minutes lol.
What company is this
Home Depot was always competitive, I got rejected 100% of the times I've applied
rip
@lunar hatch are you intl?
yes
bro how many offers you got
When r u graduating. U got alot of finals. Tips please
may 2023
How are you applying?
i majorly target at hft places cuz tech is not hiring
mostly online app
for a few i got some referral
but only very few worked out
What is gts? Hft?
yeah
Must be hard then
Damn how many rounds
three
How many lc u did in total
Goated
nah not at all i fail a lot this season
You chilling my guy. T10 uni?
not really lol
if you mean
overall ranking
Cs ranking
then yes
yeah
Mf
damn
Ranked 2nd best school
Are you rich rich that tuition is expensive
my friend is surviving on 90k TC in SoCal
would company background check me if they haven't decide on hiring me or not
idk if that's enough for SoCal
Nah
very confused since no offer yet
nah bro, just never stop grinding apps tbh
just a few
I actually lost count on how many apps got me one offer.
If you are graduating in May just keep applying everywhere even educational institutions like hhmi and broad institute

@tardy geode how goes the search



i have applied like a shit ton , plus i am reaching out . a recruiter reached out today for a backend role on linkedin so i feel thats some hope
but again most of the times they think i am looking to switch and working FT so now i have clearly mentioned to her that i graduate in may
epically rejected by epic
it's ok I didn't want to work at that weird campus anyways with a 1.5hr commute

Can all the Ramp rejects DM me the
I got all 4 flags for Ramp should I resubmit? 
@young peak This I completely agree with. They have released majority of the results. Have you heard back yet? I unfortunately didn't get it this year
can't get past application screen lol
Are you gonna renege on ScaleAI lol
My H1 got picked for zon but my offer is delayed to december. Will they even file a petition?
yes
also congrats
didn't get it this year 😦
how does that work though considering one needs to start working for that company from OCT 1
congrats!
you apply for stem opt extension
i missed it this year
if you graduated last year
@lunar hatch do you go to a target school?
i graduate in may this year. do I continue working for some other company till then on opt?

yeah
how was the OA? is it hard?
Is the 2k OA automatic
haven't done it
OA questions are medium difficulty if u know c++
ah ok
pog
The key is to seek out job fairs.
ah... my schools job fair was fkn useless
University, NSBE, AfroTech, SHPE. (I'm black hispanic).
Some do suck. CodePath wasn't super hot.
Highest odds would be STEM job fairs.
I managed to find an opening at Apple from those.
Word of mouth.
When I apply to jobs and see a list of organizations that I could be a part of, I look them up.
Witcon is another thing.
Women who code.
WICys
There's one for natives and chicanos.
One for every minority, and everyone.
nicenicnice
its getting hard to function in general for me now tbh
i am drained
Gotta speedrun C++ revision in a few days
Has anyone given circle codesignal assessment recently?
any day now ima start drinking and go insane at this point
I got shafted lol
No H1B this time but they have 2 waves every year
450k applicants is wild 
Nah this year I heard it’s 700k
when is the second one @young peak ?
If it’s true that’s like the ultimate squid games
it's super crazy
it's literally like playing bingo 😂
plus a lot of ppl do multiple applications through consultancies which is messed up and damn risky
Yeah this is ubiquitous
did you get it this year @lunar hatch ?
github laid off their entire india engineering team lol wtf
wtf
Nah I am not able to do that this year
Cuz haven’t started
where tf is the 2024 new grad channel 😦

im kinda surprised all cs jobs arent outsourced to india given how talented some of those engineers are and how low companies can get away with paying them
that was passive racism
??
trust me they would do it in a heartbeat if it wasnt so inconvenient
nightmare to manage and timezone fucks everything
where's your offer from btw
1/6 is an insane ratio
it makes middle managers and c suite execs jobs harder because htey have to actually do more work (from doing nothing other than pipping people they dont like) to make sure the project is going the right way (jump on teams/zoom calls)
im in the UK which makes life easier
company's called Sky, pretty huge telecoms company in the UK owned by comcast
nice congrats mate
ty bro
you're gonna have to explain this
he's just reaching
🥲
@timber rock was destined to make it too but got RNG'd last minute
you stole my hc

what is there to explain my guy
i called them talented...? and then shat on corporations who exploit their labour
are non indians not talented 
there is no way you're gonna go there
hey you said it not me
this is "all lives matter" type energy bro
Bruh
so youre saying we should exploit them then
where did you get that from
"kind of surprised not all cs jobs are sourced to indians"
as if you would expect them to
bro is reaching
how does h1b even work lol
its also stereotyping af
wtf lmaooooooo
@small mountain what's your opinion on the roma?
good answer

New job drop in #grad_postings_old !
I'm starting to think I'm never going to get past an OA no matter how much LC I do
Have you been just doing random lc or have you been studying patterns?
Also how long do you spend on a problem?
What I do, is if I'm still struggling on a problem after 30min I look at the answer. I then study it and try to understand the underlying logic and try applying it to my own solution.
If pressure is the issue try doing practice under pressure like in mock interviews or coding competitions
Or just lc against a friend and put money on it lol
I tell them that if they don't get me the job I'll send them to slip and fall school
at this point they usually write to me... but, often just asking for me to give contact info of one of my connections (I think they've realized they won't be effective in recruiting me). The annoying part is, half the time it's like the person's got their email address right on their LinkedIn profile and set as public, but, they'll still ask, sigh
Basically pointing out what I found interesting about the opportunity/their company and also pointing out skills I developed from past internships and how I feel I would be a good fit for their role. And then attaching my resume and thanking them for consideration.

Cold emailing hasn't been effective this year btw, cant hurt still emailing but just don't get your hopes up
How effective is that in practice?
I usually just try to schedule meetings/get on a call sooner rather than later for the complex stuff, or, get numbers as early as possible... but, it's been quite a while since I've looked for jobs, usually opportunities/partnerships come to me. Networking is key (relevant networking, ideally in person, ideally in diverse places, etc.)
Last year it helped at a few places I targeted, this year not so much
(I'm also usually dealing with decision makers and/or smaller companies, not large corporations with multi-level bureaucracy and people just acting as filters, that's probably important to note)
Most recruiters just ignored my emails this year, some said they'd review my resume and reach out if they're interested and nothing ever resulted from it. Some people have had success though, but it's uncommon.
back when I was a new grad, recruiters told me that recruiters are a lot more useful later in your career but not so useful for new grads; I do know people they've been immensely helpful for, especially job-hopping type people, who've increased their salary dramatically by job hopping with the help of a recruiter (who's kind of incentivized to help them, and gets commissions/what not every time they switch jobs)
Has indeed/zip recruiter been effective for anyone?
Have you tried mock interviews?
Will try
Never gotten a reply back from any position I’ve applied from them
same, i've sent over 300 application on Indeed, never got a single interview
just wondering, did anyone who got rejected from amazon ever get a notification email? I applied back in august, didn't even get an OA, and every month afterwards until november they just sent me "your SDE app is still under consideration" and something about their consideration period going until april lmao
I knew i wasn't gonna get it so i didn't rly care, but I checked their portal just now and they quietly updated it to no longer under consideration. Kinda annoyed they couldn't bother sending out an actual email
worst platforms
i used to apply there but no responses , don't know why they even exist
google jobs , angelist does help . got a few responses from angelist but then found out i need sponsorship so didn't proceed smh
google jobs is best
no sponsored stuff just the actual companies hiring in the area
i wonder how long until we can tell chatgpt "I am looking for entry level SWE job in New York City, can you list all results that fit my skills" and throw your resume to it and it goes and finds everything and auto applies 🥺
Anyone got confluent phone?
Me!
what position?
I have to prepare for a C++ OA fml
anyone?
Got a rejection
Anyone currently use sprintax for filing? Need a bit of guidance
yea
its bit of a pain tho

I just e-filed for federal through sprintax but do I have to mail for FICA and state? Also, how do you get the refund? through sprintax itself once approved by IRS?
so if you e-filed federal , you don't have to mail for federal . BUT you gotta mail the state ones and attach the federal one with it
you get the refund by whatever mode you select , sprintax asks wether check or direct deposit
what's the point of e-filing then if you have to mail it with state as well? and what is the FICA form that is generated do you have to mail too?
so lets say you have a state tax for CA , so you gotta mail the CA state tax docs and federal tax doc to CA office(whatever address would be on the state tax doc)
you can track the status of refund and less paper

okay so IRS is connected with sprintax...once they physically receive your forms they automatically generate the refund through sprintax?
ik its kinda weird logic but it is what it is bro
yeah i mean sprintax is like vendor for IRS , so when those addresses recieve your DOC they check and approve , then you get the monry
idk why US tax work is so much paperwork smh
Okay this makes a lot of sense now
Thanks so much!! 👍
i had to file two state returns and one made me mail it 

@late kestrel give offer

Was it the front end position they opened recently?
No, swe intern
@main sinew ayo
Hey I’m international student on F1 visa, I graduated in December. My Amazon offer got pushed to August. My H1 got picked, what should I do now?
- If Amazon again pushes or layoff then what will happen
- After hie long we can transfer H1?
for 1, unless you find another company that could file h1
your h1 will be voided this yr
not sure if there's a ddl to file it anyways
besides oct
Amazon doesn't give a fuck about its own employees let alone prospective ones
Indeed good for finding job listings tho, then just go to company site
When you reject a company
(It was a consulting firm that didn't want to sponsor me until next year, anyways I got a ft role that paid better)
What's it like to be the goat?
Im no goat 😂 just a shitty combination of apps + luck + leeting all day
Company I'm starting work at didnt sponsor this round (Veeva) due to their deadlines but its FT and its not exploitative compared to this mega consulting company
heck even WITCH companies have better benefits compared to the company that offered me the role of trainee
company is company. Just work, earn your money and put it towards your goals
name brands in the long run don't matter. My cousin whos in Amazon is shit scared every day because of the work culture. She's smart af btw. Top 10 college from India, worked at a big well known company in India and Top 20 school here in US.
WLB + less money > more money. I'm not saying money isn't important. Its very important in this capitalistic world. The money will just come with time and experience.
end rant
GIVE JOB PLEASE MAN FRIK MAN PLEASE MAN FRIK MAN
@stone granite spitttiinnnnn 💦
Yeah I’m honestly glad I missed Zon internship by one literal leetcode question in 2021. I’d rather live life more than make a little more money(which gets taxed at your highest tax bracket)
what are your two offers?
FRIK!!!!!!!!!
Workday and BB
its tbh everyones choice
i think its valid to prioritize WLB over TC/prestige and vice versa
I personally want to achieve financial independence so I don't mind suffering now if its being put towards an investing in an easy stress-free life for me in my 40s?
on the other hand, rn is the prime of your life
who knows if youll be doing ok at 40
health, relationships, ect
Yeah the thing is that your younger years are diff from your 40s
You’re going to be doing diff things if you travel in your 20s vs 40s
I think any approach is valid
But my hobbies and interests are honestly materialistic so I think most likely I wouldn't mind working more now to live a stress free life in the future
I'm still planning on buying a good car in around 2025 or so
I've been wanting an alfa romeo a lot
Never heard of it
Must be expensive
alfas are surprisingly not super expensive
You can get a used 4cyl giulia with AWD for $27k
for what they are
with under 40k miles
Oh that’s not bad then
the giulia is a RWD-bias sports sedan
its my brand of choice if i ever get a car like that
I just get Honda 💀
id like to YOLO and get a quadrifoglio tbh
those used are like 60k
which is still a 20k discount for new
well we wont need a car for a while
I like not sticking out though
Driving prob takes more time than just taking the train
cheddy what city are u in
NYC
you both are NYCers now?
soon
Well he will be in soon I mean
Fans of big Mike
n0ice
Our savior
yeah honestly i wouldnt buy a car in NYC until I'm super-financially stable
like extremely stable
Driving in NYC sounds terrible
one of my old coworkers elaine works there now... say hello ❤️
finding parking is the worst part tbh
The driving itself can be pretty quick depending on what time
Wait
Grill?

I wouldn’t recommend it for the faint of heart 
she married
A challenge even better





staten island and brooklyn make it worth driving imo
if u live in either of those
if you are just going to the city and back ig public transport is better
You forgot most of queens lmao
Also Brooklyn close to the city def has really good transit but the further out you go the more a car helps

I live in Brooklyn and go to school in Manhattan
You don’t really need a car
The subway is convenient
I was scheduling a 1h tech interview with box and they told me the backend role is full already 
They opened it yesterday and now the posting is gone lol
Or maybe 2 days ago, but it wasn't there on sunday
Bruh what
South Brooklyn?
wtf
