i was like dude here i am not getting any interviews and you fucked up the only one you got

💀

[fallen fox]

💀

[tardy geode]

infact he even got expedia sde 2 round which he again blew up

i was like wtf is happening

[fallen fox]

https://tenor.com/view/breh-breh-what-did-i-just-witness-brehplode-breh-aint-no-way-breh-wazowski-gif-25629851

[tardy geode]

bro couldn't solve valid parenthesis

[torn stone]

I only get instant rejects from Expedia

[neon perch]

Bruh fidelity man

They reject all the time

How are people hearing back seriously

[tardy geode]

all they wat is angular and java OD

they are looking for 4+ YOE

otherwise ghost

[neon perch]

I swear man 4 yoe

[fallen fox]

4 yoe is the like the average new grad role rn

[neon perch]

Facts man

[cloud zinc]

Is there a link to an article or blog post that mentions this

[tawdry nacelle]

That still fucks over those of us who haven’t been able to work till now if this is true

Like I’m just getting my degree and I keep getting auto rejected

Also fuck fake postings on LinkedIn

[cloud zinc]

I mean someone had to fake their resume by changing the years that they had their work experience, right?

[tawdry nacelle]

It should be illegal to do that, I know they do it for stock reasons, but you’re wasting time for everyone who applied

[neon perch]

The fuck

[tawdry nacelle]

People are saying with how many people getting manga jobs, the name doesn’t matter much

Idk I also haven’t even had one internship yet and am struggling to find a decent paying job, so idk

[jovial latch]

i just want any god damn job blegh

mind you ive had like, 2 years worth of internships, its just that bad for everyone

[tawdry nacelle]

I’ve gotten offers but they wanted to pay me less than $50k full time

[jovial latch]

yea thats just insultingly low

[tawdry nacelle]

It was from red flag places too

Yea that’s why I rejected them especially since they wouldn’t negotiate

Bro I work as a foodrunner at a restaurant rn and I’m making more than what they were offering

[jovial latch]

stupid ass indian twat called me while i was running and offered to help me get interviews and a job, but with a like 2k enrollment fee and then they take 20% of my salary i was like fuck no

[west egret]

Jython

and Jython is actually real

[grizzled bronze]

Why do you have to mention their nationality

[jovial latch]

eh i guess i didnt, i didnt put any thought into it

but i mean ok

[fallen fox]

bruh do jp morgan recruiters randomly call you in the middle of the day?

[south sable]

has anyone got past resume screen for block? if so, what's the gist of what you said for the application questions?

[fallen fox]

some guy from ohio called me and said "i'm from jp morgan and would like to talk about the role you applied to"

AINTNOWAY

jp morgan mfers selling candidate data now

[brave forge]

i know my university made me use it 😭

but it wasn't jython it was python and C++

[west egret]

But Python is already implemented in C

As the default anyways

[brave forge]

they wanted to show us you can use python to parse a file and then send the data to C++ to do computation work and then use python as an output/terminal menu for the program

[obsidian crater]

Bro we had to use Scala

and ScalaFx

There is like no documentation on ScalaFx

[west egret]

I mean that’s completely diff from what I was talking about then

Jython converts python source to Java byte code and runs it through JVM

[cloud zinc]

that covid experience restriction is still bugging me, because I've faced similar quick rejections back in January and February

like with companies looking for skillsets that matched mine, yet never went past the resume screening process

[rich night]

anybody here good with parsing binary data in C++? pls dm me I have a question

[obsidian crater]

Use std::bitset?

[livid yew]

C++

[cloud zinc]

same here

[obsidian crater]

C++ is a nice language

For speed

[cloud zinc]

several times

The worse example of this was with BAE systems and Leidos

[jovial latch]

oh god fuck bae systems

they had such a dogshit easy interview process that i aced and i still got rejected

most likely because even though i know c/c++, i havent had any work experience in it and some other candidates probably fucking did

as is the nature of defense contractors

[obsidian crater]

defense company interviews are so easy

idk why

[cloud zinc]

I'm starting to believe that is the reason why I keep getting rejected from Visa as well

every software requirement goes along my work experience, and yet my applications get rejected 24 hours after applying

[jovial latch]

l3harris wasnt easy id say, bae systems was

[obsidian crater]

hmm

[jovial latch]

bae systems asked me flood fill, some fuckin find duplicate in a list thing, the ah max volume water container problem, and basic oop questions

literally

so easy

and they still rejected me

meanwhile l3harris asked me concurrency stuff, c/c++ specific stuff, deep oop stuff,

[obsidian crater]

OOF

[brave forge]

Are u international

[obsidian crater]

considering the interviews with BAE and Leidos no

[cloud zinc]

no, I'm a citizen

which makes it more weird

[brave forge]

Dang that’s scary then

[cloud zinc]

that's why I'm so hung up on this potential anti-covid-experience bias

[brave forge]

What is that

[grizzled bronze]

It's just a shitty market right now, it's not you

Microsoft already closed the AI new grad role they posted yesterday

[split plaza]

anyone else see "Application transferred" for that role in their action center

[grizzled bronze]

Yeah they did that right away for everyone who applies

[split plaza]

ah

[grizzled bronze]

Just an internal thing

It was for a specialized role in Atlanta

[tardy geode]

must be for greencard purposes

companies do this shit

[idle gazelle]

Anybody recieved hiring manager round for SoFi?

[drifting talon]

Which role/team?

[idle gazelle]

Money and bank

[runic aurora]

how hard was the OA @idle gazelle ?

[idle gazelle]

Prettly simple to medium

SoFi is literally sending OA to 3k students for a single vacancy

[runic aurora]

dont say that

I need a job 😦

[idle gazelle]

Ain't we all?

[tardy geode]

are you international?

[drifting talon]

Did you finish technical rounds or is hm first round

[tardy geode]

there is literally 1 position

💀

like 1 seat , 3k people

god save this economy

[idle gazelle]

Yes

[idle gazelle]

Only finished recruiter round

[tardy geode]

oh damn , top 5 CS?

[fallen fox]

bottom 5 CS here

[tacit grove]

what? they're hiring only 1 person for this position?

[tacit grove]

When did you receive and complete the OA?

[tardy geode]

@neon perch

[neon perch]

Bunch of fks

[neon perch]

When did you apply?

[idle gazelle]

On 18th

[idle gazelle]

18th

[prisma flax]

Any tips for phone screen with ibm? Is it casual or should we prepare?

[chilly burrow]

It rlly depends on the team

I've had som casual calls

And som technical

Is it with a recruiter or eng?

[prisma flax]

With a recruiter

[chilly burrow]

Then it'll probably just he casual

Mayb wit a behavioral

And a "y IBM" q

[prisma flax]

Gotcha should just go over my resume and match the job type

That would make it right

[mossy fiber]

bottom 5 CS here

I tell sofi recruiter I am interviewing with tiktok rn and she told me she will definitely get back to me next week.

[tawny wasp]

Here I am thinking I was the lucky one who got an OA 💀💀

[swift falcon]

i was trying to do this a while back too

I managed to get through two books pretty quick but fell off the third

[paper basalt]

cool

[swift falcon]

was reading during my son's tae kwan do class

feel like it's something you have to practice, like picking up a good habit

[paper basalt]

im working my way thru an embedded design book, and c++ stuff, theyre honestly better reads than u might imagine

[brave forge]

last book i read was learnopengl

[swift falcon]

do you do it next to computer or just like normal

[brave forge]

https://learnopengl.com/book/book_pdf.pdf

[paper basalt]

oh in chair away from pc

[swift falcon]

interesting

[paper basalt]

speaking of which, need to get some zip ties and clean up some cables

[swift falcon]

how well does that translate into you picking up the concepts?

[paper basalt]

decent, at least exposed to different ways of i guess designing code

i did it initially because i felt so weak on design patterns

yogis talked about it generally but i believe to really level up as a developer is get a strong design pattern and implementation indications, across the stack

and add features to your projects, not just steps 1 and 2

i guess this is system design

but within code, its design patterns i guess

like a recyclerview in kotlin needs? why would u want it? needs a data source, and an adapter class and a viewer

would implement it because you have say, images in a directory, but u want a spinning gallery on the phone

[swift falcon]

yeah that sounds pretty interesting

like a cookbook presenting you different solutions basically

[paper basalt]

exactly

[swift falcon]

so you don't need to understand/use them at the time, but the knowledge of them existing is helpful

[paper basalt]

crazy my car has wifi potential

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm6BlRMEny0

[paper basalt]

this shit is hilarious

[swift falcon]

I love those

esp the harry potter ones

[paper basalt]

a GREAT project would be do a gpt-ish comedy generator

have people talk shit and your raspberry pi projects it or says things

do a stand up night

need big balls

[jaunty storm]

I found a local company looking for someone that knows react, java, php, and json.

Basically fixing an API to get an app to run.

Success means FT.

[paper basalt]

dank gl

[jaunty storm]

If anyone wants to talk to them, I can send the info.

[paper basalt]

react is a sorely needed thing i need to explore, i did a project with js, express, and node

[ornate cliff]

Local to where

[jaunty storm]

Miami.

[ornate cliff]

[south sable]

You're getting our Canadian hopes up

[jaunty storm]

We just gotta visit job fairs. It's worth it.

I got 7 offers from all my past fairs.

Not all 7 this year of course.

[south sable]

If I get time this weekend, I will make a suggestion on github

I'd definitely love to get out there and meet companies

but I need to know where and when that stuff happens

[paper basalt]

miami, land of the mamis and cubano sandwiches, and toll bridges that make you want to rope

[ornate cliff]

Job fairs? For swe?

[paper basalt]

can be good, go early, hope the person actually logs stuff on their platform

i got fucked by that , she didnt do something correctly so round 2 was a dud

[lime moth]

i got an 848 on codesignal gca, anyone know of places that are still hiring that use that

[bold pier]

I'll hire you, to give my gca

[lime moth]

do i get a signing bonus? i didn't get one from lockheed even though it seems like everyone else under the sun before me got one

[jaunty storm]

Yes.

[high eagle]

2024_grad when

hello

@everyone

[ornate cliff]

august

[high eagle]

channel

and august is too late

[ornate cliff]

august

[high eagle]

no

i dont like august

[lime moth]

how do i ask for a higher salary

[high eagle]

competing offer

[dusty basin]

When apps open

[high eagle]

no too late

[paper basalt]

competing offer is really the way, although places seem to do retention stuff surgically as needed

grind out your year or 2, be useful first, then worry about promotions

float an idea of, what else is out there for me, and see what happens when time is appropriate

[lime moth]

i have potenially a competing offer but I'm waiting on them to make a decision

[pliant shale]

[tacit grove]

Oracle keeps rejecting and reposting the exact same job links every day

[obsidian crater]

Fake job postings

[tardy geode]

yea ik

fk em

[river orbit]

Alright so ill start looking for 2024 grad. To the people here what works and what does not to get urself a call back? Just cold applying did not help for internships at all. So wanna be prepared in advance before the applications open.

What is it cold emailing/referrals/spam recruiters on linkedin?

[tardy geode]

cold emailing > spam recruiters > referrals

referrals ain't doing shit in this market

[river orbit]

Yep just setting myself up before june comes. Made the mistake this summer to apply internships very late here I am without any intern

[river orbit]

Does hunter.io works? I gave me like 5% correct emails

[tacit grove]

yeah honestly

[tardy geode]

spoke like a recruiter

[tardy geode]

i just do [e-mail] unless i already have an employees email from that company

its a hit or a miss but shit has worked fine till now . but i get ghosted after a followup

[obsidian crater]

@livid yew Comcast posted a job for SRE 1

Finally gonna take you off on-call hopefully

[livid yew]

[river orbit]

Yeah had just 1 hit on yahoo. Ghosted

[tardy geode]

you will get 500k TC if you get a referal from @livid yew

[autumn iris]

[tacit grove]

Just keep on following up with them 3-4 times doesn't matter you have nothing to lose....that's what I do and it has worked - some actually appreciate the constant follow-ups and knocking on doors

[tardy geode]

i had taken 9 followups once

no answers

[tacit grove]

thank you next 😭 leave em and approach another recruiter 1/5 probability

[ornate cliff]

I've messaged literally every Ramp employee on Blind and no response

[rain patio]

Saying what

[ornate cliff]

Asking for tips for the interview

[rain patio]

ooooooooo

[ornate cliff]

No one answering

[rain patio]

[shut chasm]

try linkedin instead @ornate cliff

[ornate cliff]

I prefer to stay anon

Would be awkward if they end up being my interviewer, it's a small team

[shut chasm]

ohh i see, but have you actually got responses on blind?

like before with other companies?

lol just try using this discord itself, if anyone has previously worked at Ramp

[ornate cliff]

I have one guy answered but not much info

[grizzled bronze]

Someone said it expanded on the topics in the CTF (not actual CTF though)

for one of the rounds

And then I forget the other rounds, it looks like they deleted their posts here or I can't find it

[ornate cliff]

faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkk

I'm gonna flop so badly gg

[grizzled bronze]

Ask recruiter

[ornate cliff]

I will lol

[grizzled bronze]

They might be able to share what to prep on

[grizzled bronze]

Good, you'd be surprised

I remember a company recruiter had this whole guide for me, but they didn't share until I asked

[ornate cliff]

LOL wow

It's my only interview I don't wanna fuck this up 😭

[grizzled bronze]

That's how you feel with every interview though

[shut chasm]

@ornate cliff Just prep well, do a bit more LC

[ornate cliff]

Ramp doesn't even ask LC, that's why I'm freaking out 😂

otherwise it would be straight forward

[shut chasm]

have you seen glassdoor then?

[ornate cliff]

yeee nothing

[shut chasm]

then it's gonna be chill, just smile and talk...

[ornate cliff]

it's a tiny team, company is 4 years old, not much data out there

[shut chasm]

you'll definitely get the job

[ornate cliff]

[tardy geode]

[obsidian crater]

[brave forge]

[grizzled bronze]

I thought someone said they got an LC medium in the final round

[ornate cliff]

seriously?

then I'm fucked

who was it I need to track them down 😂

[grizzled bronze]

I could be wrong, can't find the posts

Hopefully I'm wrong

Nope, and not grinding

[pastel bane]

thank you!

Amazon seems to be giving offer recently

[fallen fox]

june/july

[teal jackal]

Bugatti Chad

[tardy geode]

if that were true i would have already bagged something

[tardy geode]

i don't think so that would happen this early this year

we are almost in may. and companies are still firing people like a flock of sheeps

[fallen fox]

true

why these paypal mfers rejecting after 3 months

[autumn iris]

are u guys just trying to get employed in any job

or are people picky

[fallen fox]

[brave forge]

idek what picky is i would take employment for 20/hr by now

[autumn iris]

[tardy geode]

employers have become picky

[autumn iris]

[tardy geode]

employers are also making fake postings to make em look growing

[tacit grove]

lol good analogy

[west egret]

How would you even know if they’re fake?

They could be postings for internal applicants

[tardy geode]

its a very hostile environment where lets say one has a sign board saying hiring swe's . everybody and their mothers would flock to them . its natural nothing wrong in that . then there are like 4k applicants for 2 positions . that's how employers get the opportunity to get picky

[tacit grove]

I noticed this too....ORACLE and YAHOO fosho

[west egret]

Exactly how are you concluding postings are fake?

[tardy geode]

my relative's friend was head of recruitment at a mid sized company . they told me its a very common practice

[west egret]

Bruh this sounds way too anecdotal

[tardy geode]

then they show this to the state gov that we create jobs and shit

[west egret]

Relative’s friend and from a single company

[tardy geode]

no , he has been in the game since 25 years

[west egret]

That’s still anecdotal

[tardy geode]

well i just shared something , its upto you to believe it or not . i respect your opinion

yea kinda like that

[west egret]

anecdotal - (of an account) not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research.

[tardy geode]

also they create postings and ask an employee on visa to apply there for Green card purposes

[west egret]

that's not an opinion. anecdotal or not is a boolean

[tardy geode]

like if that employee is nominated for a PR by their manager

ok mb

[brave forge]

Ya every day with my spy cam in the McDonald’s bathroom

[west egret]

I've seen dogs

The other thing is that I doubt companies are worried about journalists monitoring their career pages and speculating about said company's growth

[brave forge]

I think companies are mainly hiring interns through return offers right now

I know my intern company never posts new grad jobs but they return offer almost everybody that interns for them

SMH it all started when Russia invaded Ukraine

[brave forge]

covid was good though?

hiring hit all time high during covid for software engineers. it was after covid started to end that it got worse

[prisma flax]

Covid boosted tech becuz of digitalization everything bloomed related to tech

[rigid quail]

the only reason tech was doing well was because everyone was inside with their phones and devices all day

[prisma flax]

It came at the expense of other jobs tho

[rigid quail]

you needed tech for basic functions

[brave forge]

ya i wish i was job searching back then would of been sick

[obsidian crater]

tell me about it

[brave forge]

i didnt even start uni until 2022

first internship was in 2022 though

[fossil jewel]

yeah it was fake growth tho

companies thought it was permanent but now the money printer stopped and they couldn’t sustain it

[bold pier]

Well for a lot of them money printing didn't stop, maybe slowed down a little .. yet they went on firing spree to please shareholders!

[brave forge]

tbf i think the companies were not expecting rate hikes

[polar aspen]

This sucks

[brave forge]

is this your resume

[polar aspen]

It was

I have since brought it to a few different advisors and a couple profs

It has massively changed since

Honestly looking back at that resume... it's embarrassing

[fallen fox]

[livid yew]

what website you use for this graph

[polar aspen]

https://sankeymatic.com/

[livid yew]

oh this looks cool

[polar aspen]

I wish I was using it for more fun stuff tbh

[fallow thistle]

Has anyone interviewed with Moderna? I completed their behavior while back still silent

[serene nymph]

@tardy geode no im not

[meager terrace]

i mean, why not

whats the penalty if you don't call in sick

[swift falcon]

im siccadis

[autumn jolt]

I am so tired of doing applications How do you guys motivate yourself to continue?

[meager terrace]

honestly i feel you, I think what motivates me is that if I have a paying job, I'll be able to fulfill some type of goal. Like for example with me, I want to bring my grandparents to the west coast so that they could have a garden of their own where they can harvest food. (They don't really have the real estate to grow a garden where they're at)

so that motivates me

[livid yew]

Grand parents plural

Must be nice

[meager terrace]

[livid yew]

do they currently live on the West Coast I assume

[meager terrace]

no, they live on the east coast

das why I wanna bring em to the west coast

[livid yew]

oh I mis read your msg

I flipped those in my brain

but we all know the East Coast is better

[meager terrace]

TBH, I didn't grow up with my grandparents actively by my side unlike my uncle/aunts/east coast cousins. They also seem a bit miserable there

Nah no roast to east coast, I just think that my grandparents would've have a better life here with my family

[livid yew]

bro I have not seen my Grandpa in like 5 years lol

[meager terrace]

[livid yew]

ok, if you factor out the covid years

its not so bad

[meager terrace]

oh yeah

actually that's a good point

[livid yew]

most people were not visting elderly during covid

[autumn jolt]

I wake up every day to rejection emails and then go back to applying again and the cycle repeats again...every day.... like every day Doing this since August. Honestly, I am exhausted

[livid yew]

for obv reasons

I have not seen my parents or sister since Christmas

[meager terrace]

it's definetely exhausting, but you gotta keep trying. Maybe go with a different approach. Like add more projects/better projects to your resume that will stand out

[livid yew]

pretty normal for a lot of ppl

[meager terrace]

FUCK that's so sad man

[autumn jolt]

[livid yew]

no. that is pretty standard once you graduate

[meager terrace]

is it really

man, I don't know if I can go without seeing my parents

[narrow harbor]

have you got any interviews?

[autumn jolt]

just one..a lot of them ghosted me or have paused hiring

Have a screen call tomorrow

[meager terrace]

that's a dub!

anything but a rejection is a dub

[autumn jolt]

But I really need a job I don't want to graduate next month without a job

[meager terrace]

nah I get you

It's pretty fucking nerve racking not having that job security

[livid yew]

you must be one of those basement dwellers lol

[meager terrace]

but prior to me accepting an offer, I told myself that if I didn't get a job that it would be okay and that I would just have to continue to learn more and more languages and work on better projects

[meager terrace]

not necessarily

[livid yew]

[meager terrace]

I'm an only child, so all my mom has is me and my dad on the west coast

[livid yew]

nothing wrong with it

[meager terrace]

so it's more of a feelsbadman on my moms part

[livid yew]

I lived at home for 4 months after grad

was terrible lol

[meager terrace]

I'd bet

[livid yew]

all 5 of us in the house

[meager terrace]

oh man

[livid yew]

yee as the middle child I am the forgotten

[meager terrace]

Mine is similar, 1 bed apt fitting 3 ppl. It's not alot of space for creativity and development

[livid yew]

oh wtf, nah I lived in a house

[meager terrace]

[livid yew]

decently sized single story house

4bd/2.5ba

[meager terrace]

yeah, thats why when I got this job offer, I'm super happy

good god

4 bed 2.5 bath

it must be nice

[livid yew]

bad ratio

[meager terrace]

oh yeah kinda true

[livid yew]

ehh it was pretty standard suburban house

[meager terrace]

isn't it normally 4 bed 3 bath

[livid yew]

the new house is like 5 bed 4 bath

3 floors

[meager terrace]

oh damn

3 FLOORS

[lime moth]

Anyone know how Belvedere Trading OA is?

[livid yew]

my family is uhh...

doing fine

[meager terrace]

My family is doing decently fine. I just think that my family just needs a new environment

which we will try to obtain after I start working and have enough money to put towards a down payment on a house (with assistance)

[split plaza]

They’re hiring for entry level?

[lime moth]

idk i just applied to c++ swe

[split plaza]

Ah

[livid yew]

yeah I need like 90-100K for a downpayment

so I either need to save agressively, no DoorDash for the rest of the year, or get a 300K TC job offer

[meager terrace]

I also need about 90-100k for a down payment

a good amount

but esp with california, I think we get like promotions for houses or some shit

like house coupons

[livid yew]

I should read more about it

we prob have similar programs here

I have only really just checked prices on zillow

[lime moth]

wth is a house coupon

[meager terrace]

its like

not really a house coupon

but its like those programs that help 1st time house owners

[livid yew]

first time buyer, I think you get some free money

[meager terrace]

yeah

So i just say house coupons cuz it's funny and makes sense

[fossil jewel]

im surprised you doordash mr techie

you like to cook on your own

[livid yew]

[fossil jewel]

oh

tbh

[livid yew]

tbh, all those passes subs barely do anything for savings

STILL overpriced asf

[meager terrace]

yeah it kinda do be

[livid yew]

yeah I still eat out pretty often

[fossil jewel]

yeah i think eating out with friends (or even alone) is better

first time i had poke bowl i was by myself, enjoyed it

[livid yew]

oh yeah I go to places and take up a whole table for 4

[fossil jewel]

nah it was a little seating area

sometimes you gotta get used to your own company ya know

[livid yew]

I will prob get Indian for lunch time

tomorrow

[fossil jewel]

butter chicken

[livid yew]

yeah I found this great place with platters and kati rolls

[fossil jewel]

idk what i'd eat tomorrow

[livid yew]

it is a bit spicy

[fossil jewel]

im wfh but i need to get chicken

[livid yew]

[fossil jewel]

oh just build up spice tolerance ez

[livid yew]

idk how yall do it over there

[fossil jewel]

my spice tolerance is okay (im not indian)

i think i'd fail against the norm in asian countries, but i do enjoy spicier stuff

[livid yew]

[fossil jewel]

what did that give

[livid yew]

[fossil jewel]

very nice

tbh food by my job is pricey so i just pack from home

whole foods is bland asf

[livid yew]

yeah these places are about $112-15

[fossil jewel]

$112

i mean yeah by work some bougie places would be that much

since theres tourism by there

i go for cheap

[livid yew]

• $12 bro

I think my 1 key is broken

[livid yew]

my guy $12 is cheap

for lunch and leftovers for dinner

[west egret]

[livid yew]

I eat 2 meals a day

I have low calories or something

a bit forced

[fossil jewel]

no no, i mean $112

[livid yew]

[fossil jewel]

there's likely places that are this much

[livid yew]

oh for lunch

I cant afford that

[fossil jewel]

max i spent was ~22, freaking whole foods and their bland food (i got the weighted stuff and i guess i went heavy on some stuff)

yeah i never paid $112

[livid yew]

yeah I get raw grains and stuff at a different place

or just Aldi

[fossil jewel]

[livid yew]

[late kestrel]

[fossil jewel]

@livid yew did you know there's no countries in africa that start with the letter K

[west egret]

I'd rather just go to some random chinese takeout place at that point

[fossil jewel]

ya theres one a bit of a walk

i should check it out soon

maybe order ahead

shake shack isnt all that when it comes to price

[west egret]

I don't think I've had shake shack yet

[west egret]

[pulsar mural]

[sonic coral]

I thought they were you at first ngl

[sonic coral]

There’s a bar on my block that has $10 double patty smash burgers

Way better deal than shake shack or 7th st tbh

[tardy geode]

TFW attending a recruiter call only to get rejected

[jaunty basalt]

It tastes exactly like shake shack

Idk how that place got popular

[fossil jewel]

oh

[jaunty basalt]

[fossil jewel]

[west egret]

[swift falcon]

Bed Bath & Beyond's real estate is already catching the eye of retailers and gyms in a tight commercial real estate market, notes CNN.

[late kestrel]

CONSOOOOM

[late kestrel]

but but im starting over

[swift falcon]

so we use/wash the same 3-4 towels over and over

[sonic coral]

Seriously tho this is def a good opportunity to stock up on sheets for lazy fucks who hate washing sheets

Aka me

[late kestrel]

ew stinky bed

[swift falcon]

I just want to be hugged with soft luxurious cotton when I come out of the shower

[sonic coral]

My guy I wash my sheets regularly

It’s just a pain in the ass

[west egret]

Yeah that's the problem. I wouldn't be moving for over a month

[late kestrel]

now im

[west egret]

I mean I don't like leaving dirty sheets somewhere anyways

[sonic coral]

Ok I only have one pair of sheets in my appt rn so it’s a pain because I can’t use bed till wash is done lol

[west egret]

might as well just wash and put it back on

[late kestrel]

yeah just dont start washing them at 10pm

silly goose

[west egret]

@late kestrel you're a silly goose

[brave forge]

well there goes my chance to be an SWE at Bed Bath and Beyond

[late kestrel]

[sonic coral]

Damn bbb to bb pipeline is dead

[fossil jewel]

gonna work at beyond

[late kestrel]

swe at beyond

😩 gonna look so good on the ol linkedin header

[sonic coral]

https://www.beyondmeat.com/en-US/join-the-team

[fossil jewel]

you know

they’re not bad

the fake meat

[sonic coral]

Ok I must confess

[west egret]

If I want meat I'd rather just eat real meat

And I actually like vegetables

[sonic coral]

I bought a double impossible burger at 7th st when I went there for the first time because I thought it was some larger patty

[late kestrel]

wait yall know the worst part about bbb going away

NO MORE BUY BUY BABY

[sonic coral]

Lmao does baby’s r us still exist

[late kestrel]

i didnt think so

bc ya know

toys r us died

[sonic coral]

Ya that’s why I’m asking lol

Do kids even play with toys anymore

I guess it’s mostly just collector shit like legos nowadays

[fossil jewel]

sometimes i eat vegan for more religious reasons

i love meat n veggies

[west egret]

Yeah I don't mind a vegetarian meal every now and then but it's more just what I feel like having

[livid yew]

Lego is a expensive hobby

like the couple sets I am keeping around as "collectors items" cost hundreds lol

[livid yew]

what kind of meat

[sonic coral]

I mean I played with legos as a kid and would just have a box with a bajillion random pieces

[livid yew]

you wanna see my closet

massive box, since my parents are moving out

[fossil jewel]

chicken, grilled meats

fish

[livid yew]

[sonic coral]

What

[obsidian crater]

salted meats

[fossil jewel]

why you mad

[late kestrel]

mad from yesterday after we booed him

[swift falcon]

see what happens is, you buy tons of toys for kids, then they just tear them apart and put all the pieces in a shelf in their room and never actually play with them

(speaking from experience)

then they go play on nintendo/ipad for 4 hours straight

[sonic coral]

Damn zoomer kids

[teal jackal]

yeah there are a lot of toy simulators nowadays, and games are a lot more accessible

though i feel like buying toys is done online a lot now

[brave forge]

there's definitely value in giving a new-born-3 year old only little noise making toys that keep them occupied

[sonic coral]

Well yeah I meant like toys for kids in elementary - middle school

Ya know action figures and stuff

[fossil jewel]

hands on stuff is best for kids imo

music, arts, sports, legos what have it

feels like screens have made my attention span worse, can imagine how bad it would be for a kids' developing brains

there’s pros as well, you can still make them do hands on stuff with tech

[livid yew]

@grim ore

[brave forge]

ipad baby

https://tenor.com/view/bad-baby-no-squeezie-gif-1129018406129240135

[swift falcon]

screaming crying throwing up

my #1 that I wanted so bad

rip working in downtown skyscraper

[brave forge]

Damn that sucks hard

I hate losing my #1

[timber rock]

app number 54 is the one. believe

[swift falcon]

yeah I think it's time to hit the grind again this week

probably a bunch of new jobs that have come out

hopefully it'll line up with my paternity leave so I can interview during that

I do have another onsite to schedule though so it's not the worst and they sound like they want to move quickly so maybe I'll at least get that

time to hit the hundred mark though regardless

[bold pier]

Meanwhile after 800+ applications I almost have a job
Just aced the 6th round for a startup

[timber rock]

the one i accepted was like my 100th app but their process took so long that i'd more than doubled that number by the time the offer came through lol

[swift falcon]

biggest gut punch is that I didn’t make it to round 2

so that means I’m just not a good candidate

unless they do internal candidates first

but still

[brave forge]

what was round 1

[fresh mango]

How're you finding startups, most of the positions form Y combinator do not even send back rejects

[bold pier]

I applied on website directly, to all 10 open positions

It wasn't new grad though, required 4+ yoe.. I got a callback with 3 so kinda lucky

[fresh mango]

That’s crazy dude, you had experience before applying tho no?

[bold pier]

Yeah, I meant I have 3 yoe

[rain patio]

to get my offer this week

[late kestrel]

...like for new grads this year?

ah i see. nvm sorry not in the loop atm

[tawdry nacelle]

Bruh I applied to a place this morning and they rejected my ass less than 3 hours later

[autumn iris]

this channel is sad

[tawdry nacelle]

Places are being fucking brutal rn

But also the market is an employer’s market so they can be heartless and get away with it

[autumn iris]

graduating in december

not looking forward to full time interviewing

[tawdry nacelle]

I honestly think I’m getting rejected from some of these places is bc they see I don’t have my degree yet, even though I’ll have it in two weeks, and auto reject me

Even though if that’s the case, I’d have the degree by the time I would start

[brave forge]

just change dates lol

[tawdry nacelle]

I literally just put 5/2023

[brave forge]

nobody is rejecting because u dont have degree yet when you are graduating next month

[tawdry nacelle]

I literally had a place almost reject when I did the phone interview bc I didn’t have my degree yet even though I told them I would have it before the start date

[brave forge]

[tawdry nacelle]

We will see when it rolls over to May

But also once I actually have free time from school, I plan to do some more personal projects and tweak up my resume/portfolio/LinkedIn profile

[brave forge]

i wish that was me im still in uni and internships until december 😭

but i moved to minimum enrollment for my last 4 courses so it should be much easier

[tawdry nacelle]

Yea but you probably have more than me

[autumn iris]

[jaunty storm]

Does anyone know how the onboarding is like at AmEx?

For intern it was pretty rapid, but full time feels a lot slower. I did 2 extra interviews after a verbal offer for FT.

I want to ask the recruiter, but not do it until I can get more insight.

[outer radish]

how many mocks are y'all doing in relation to the amount of LC questions ur doing

[lone rapids]

Whats the ead processing time? If i file online on may 1, can I get it by may 30?

[severe pendant]

Has anyone interviewed with concept3d for junior software engineer position?

[fallen fox]

generally takes a month or so if you apply online

[lone rapids]

Man i need to delay my start date

[autumn jolt]

apply using expedite option. Though not sure how long it takes going by that option but the standard application will easy take 2-2.5 months at the moment ig

[lone rapids]

Their site is saying 4 weeks for 80 percent of cases

Expedite is too expensive

[autumn jolt]

I applied in March mid have not got it approved yet. idk

[lone rapids]

Online?

[autumn jolt]

yes

[lone rapids]

🤨😣

When is your start date

[autumn jolt]

is there any option to get it done in person?

[lone rapids]

You can physcially mail it

[autumn jolt]

July

[lone rapids]

Maybe thats why

[autumn jolt]

isn't it FIFO?

idk maybe you're right

[lone rapids]

Umm do you need to receive the physical card to start?

Or is the approval enough

[fallen fox]

you need the physical card

[lone rapids]

Fuckkkk

[fallen fox]

USCIS makes the employer physically inspect your EAD card

if it's a remote role, then you need to find an I-9 verifier

no way around it, you need your physical card

[lone rapids]

Rip. I feel like i need to push start date

[tardy geode]

but you can use premium processing right ? even after submitting your i765

or is that not possible

ik that processing is shit expensive

[tardy geode]

wtg

*wtf

[obsidian crater]

Is anyone still hiring

[livid yew]

[obsidian crater]

I had an interview

Will know by thursday if rope or next round

[south sable]

I know this isn't the resume channel but I don't want to post my resume just yet

but does anyone have examples of xyz bullet points that they can share?

[obsidian crater]

rope moment
