obsidian crater
tardy geode
#

i mean most give out auto OAs ig and then they screen resumes

late kestrel

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

#

for some small shops they're not so picky

prime palm
#

lul

lunar hatch
#

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?

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

tardy geode
#

gib job

rustic vessel
#

.net tho 😦

lunar hatch
#

yeah sig is great pay

#

esp in philly

#

which is low CoL compared to nyc

rustic vessel
#

Is year1 actually 260k or did they adjust to market

lunar hatch
#

i think it's around 160-170k

#

260*

#

sry

rustic vessel
#

Nvm looks like the most recent offer is 190k

lunar hatch
#

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

Who's hiring in Canada?

They will have to sponsor a work permit, unlike for the US

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

young peak
# lunar hatch so did you jump to G as L5/L6?

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

timber rock
#

US sponsorship is wild

lunar hatch
young peak
#

But I love America

#

Perfect I already know french

young peak
#

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

timber rock
#

the lottery stuff is just so dumvb

obsidian crater
#

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 KEKW_RECESSION_EDITION

worthy aspen
#

how do canadian employers look at sponsorship? Like you know in the US its like frowned upon unless you have like some mega experience

young peak
#

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

chrome nimbus
obsidian crater
#

Canada has other problems

#

yeah

worthy aspen
#

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

chrome nimbus
#

don't need a car is pretty dependent on city

worthy aspen
#

like one could argue that TC is shit but where I need to go back, TC is non existent in comparison

chrome nimbus
#

right, but, places like Saskatchewan and PEI can be easier to get sponsored for

worthy aspen
#

got most of my friends here

obsidian crater
#

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

worthy aspen
#

i did so i also have that as an option but idk how the market is for tech in the UK

obsidian crater
#

actually wait

chrome nimbus
#

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)

obsidian crater
#

top 50 according to waht

worthy aspen
#

no they just give you a 2 year work visa(not renewable but is transferrable)

#

the government has a list on their website

my school is t50 US

I just need money for grad school

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'

# tardy geode my anxiety is shooting up day by day , even roles where my resume matches(my fee...

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.

I'm starting to think I'm never going to get past an OA no matter how much LC I do

#

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.

obsidian crater
#

I've been studying patterns

#

But my brain just shuts off under pressure

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

obsidian crater
#

I tell them that if they don't get me the job I'll send them to slip and fall school

chrome nimbus
#

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

grizzled bronze
#

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.

#

You could use ChatGPT to generate a template for you

#

Cold emailing hasn't been effective this year btw, cant hurt still emailing but just don't get your hopes up

#

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.)

(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.

chrome nimbus
#

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)

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

tardy geode

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

no sponsored stuff just the actual companies hiring in the area

Anyone currently use sprintax for filing? Need a bit of guidance

its bit of a pain tho

tacit grove
#

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?

tardy geode
#

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

tacit grove
tardy geode

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)
