You have no obligation to tell them your offer numbers or send the letter.

If they ask just say you respect the company's privacy and would do the exact same thing for them if someone else had asked.

Always so funny to see kids from top schools mald when their degree doesn't magically get them an HFT

How do you go to princeton and not get a decent offer

Did he just not do leetcode

just wait for layoffs my guy

young peak
pure mauve

not something to brag about

Idk what your point is

obsidian crater

Every company on the face of the earth does layoffs

I think getting anywhere in life is 80% being good at politics

I've seen strong devs get stepped all over by weaker devs that can better advocate for themselves, it's just how it is

ornate cliff
#

startups are like less "corporate"

sonic coral
#

It can also be hell

stone granite
#

Well 90% of jobs are corporate

#

But there are jobs are aren’t corporate

#

Like non profits, trades etc

nova vale
#

Sure, but being successful in those still requires a ton of interpersonal skills

#

Doesn't matter if you're the Lebron James of electricians if nobody calls you

#

bad news guys: you need social skills to advance in literally any job

ricecamel's linkedin in 1 year: happy to announce my promotion to staff engineer at two sigma 😃

young peak

They don't say you're doing good, they just assign you more work

Do your work. Document your achievements. Throw it on your managers face.

Ticket count isn’t a good metric

You can do 100 1-point stories compared to 5-7 8-point stories that have a greater impact

ornate cliff
#

if you're an eng I and you're performing like eng II then that's a promo

most corps have a doc like this, it's good to get familiar with it

that one is from run the runway people love it for some reason

Bruh I think some bank made me take this test once where there was a reflex test and I had to play the prisoner's dilemma game (for a SWE role)

Other than that it's just an accumulation of consistently good performance

those are ez

Anyone have to submit aim lab scores

nova vale

i think hiring should just take WPM

i make typos

nova vale

because if u hire more ppl with high WPM and type randomly, time for them to type a sequence of code that does what you need is lower

for some reason i make typos when typing but not writing

copium maybe

but hopefully we do

young peak
# serene nymph is your position swe?

Yeah I'm a SWE. The position offered at Apple is also SWE.

The difference they told me is that MLEs are gonna be building the actual ML models and whatnot but SWEs around the ML focus area are tasked with building everything that surrounds/pull from it

#

Just ask here homie would be more helpful to others that way

young peak
# ornate cliff story time with uncle yogi

Saw an HM on LinkedIn post about openings at Apple for SWEs focused on ML. That sounded like me plus the location was Seattle so figured it'd be a good fit. I contacted him, he instantly asked for my resume and sent it over.

About a month later I got a call from a rec just asking about my experiences, expectations etc. I got put into the ICT3 pipeline but they always referred it as "mid level".

All my technicals were LC mediums and hards. All the hards were DP found on top tagged. All behaviors were simple, as long as you've read like a blog about their engineering culture

I just gave my onsite like 3 days ago... They were super quick for some reason. I guess thry need ML folk rn?

#

My sys design knowledge exclusively comes from system design primer + the building data intensive systems book. Plus that's one area where I'm really confident. It's a mix of bullshit buzzwords and actual knowledge without diving too crazy, so I excell in that really well lol

For LC, I didn't grind at all tbh.. too busy with work and life.

At Google our infra depends but it's been mostly cpp for me. Can't tell you specifics tho

outer radish
young peak
#

You unlock the core first, show how it's needed and why it's not enough (aka your brute force)

#

Build an abstraction on top, to show that you can make it faster by utilizing a trick like memorization or some algorithm (aka optimization)

#

Then you employ the last layer which is again another nifty trick like a math equation or something to make it more optimized and pass edge cases

#

All the way up to L5 they'll ask technicals homie

#

Aka senior

#

Staff+ it'll be different I think but I'm not there yet so I'll worry about it later

#

At mid level, you're expected to know high level sys design for sure

#

And at senior you can simplify complex systems and break things down, showcase more brevity and breadth

I'm curious have you been planning on leaving goog?

Had this really confusing problem for my hackerrank challenge. It had to do with finding spam words in a sentence, but the test cases themselves couldn't decide on whether the matching is case insensitive or not

pure mauve
#

and lower headcount

cloud zinc
#

I would run my code and there would be one test case that fails because it assumes the spam detection process is case insensitive. Upon making the change, another test case fails because it assumes case-sensitive matching

This is the most important diff

Interviews are not harder than internships tbh

Just more rounds overall

and it was hackerrank

I see

#

I had no idea how you would compare words faster than O(N^2)

#

But outside of the extreme case, I wish they would've formatted their test cases better

#

The Pattern/Matcher library for Java couldn't make up it's mind between case sensitivity

Madelyn Machado, 33, who held a position as a recruiter at Meta, says that after joining the company in September 2021, she spent much of her time in meetings that didn’t accomplish anything, and that the parent of Facebook and Instagram had too many recruiters and not enough work for them to do.

In a viral TikTok video documenting her experience, she explains that she was paid $190,000 a year and told she wasn’t expected to hire anyone in her first year.

i'm tired of hearing recruiters being lumped in with tech workers

it's always non-engineering positions that seem to be whinging about getting laid off

and I'm confused too, because I'd really like to see a breakdown of layoffs

if 90k recruiters and non-engineer get laid off and 10k developers, why is that an excuse to suddenly freeze hiring and depress wages for developers

which in hindsight, might be the reason why its been hard to find something

everyone wants to do 70-80 i think

yes

and I have 0 yoe

but 10 in IT job, which I will argue makes me qualified for that salary even if it's not direct experience

yeah it's what i been trying to do

ask me an infra question

no

#

GCP if anything

#

technically azure at my job, but I am hands off because my boss is a masochist

#

no

#

what is that

#

like database admin?

#

or like data warehousing and shit?

#

no kafka, but I am decent with basic relational db and can set up my own fuckaround ones

#

I put databricks on my resume because we did it in my advanced DB class

#

but meh

#

like pandas?

#

here is a use case I've done

#

and that was just data set side

#

i wrote stuff for the actual app harness back/front end to interact with model trained on the data as well

#

but since this was all academic experience it has like 0 weight

#

at least that what it seems like

#

so you think I should do like some sort of AWS data engineer course?

#

do you have recc'd?

#

like course reccomendations in particular

#

or paths

#

you know the problem is that my current job has like 0 forward training - I've asked to be taught how to do things and just been kind of left to my own devices

#

honestly if my boss had gotten me trained on our sql/dbs in my 2-3rd year I'd probably be able to shoulder part of the huge load he has today

#

but here I am with next to 0 knowledge on how the back end of our stack works

No it's an internal exam separate from AWS
