[mossy fiber]

I dont know anything about sdet💀 I just told my gpt4 Im going to have a SDET interview, and followed the outline the gpt gave to me

[tardy geode]

i did this business course assignments with chatgpt and scored full points in all of em

now its straight A in that course

and not a single minute wasted

all thanks to the almighty ChatGPT

[mossy fiber]

I did all my data mining coursework with gpt, hes really good about those topics

[tardy geode]

and prof would comment on it "very well written , awesome"

[bold pier]

How do business schools give grades, I got 98.1/100 and still got an A- at NYU Stern

[grizzled bronze]

Really? I thought ChatGPT was too dumb and obvious to tell for those types of assignments

[fallen fox]

does gpt plus give you access to gpt 4?

it does nvm

[mossy fiber]

gpt4 is much smarter than gpt3.5

[tardy geode]

dude i would just do this :
Can you summarize the article in 600 words (and then put the link)

i did this and got full marks in that assignment

with a comment from prof saying "great organization and well written"

[bold pier]

I think you should switch field to Promt Engineer, 200k minimum base

[tardy geode]

where all i did was this , which took me 3 mins

[tardy geode]

there was a role called ChatGPT developer

[grizzled bronze]

GPT-4 is a hypothetical successor to the GPT-3 language model, which is currently the most advanced language model in the world. GPT-3 is a product of OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence research organization. GPT-3 has achieved significant breakthroughs in natural language processing (NLP), including generating coherent and contextually appropriate text based on input prompts.

Recently, there has been some confusion about whether GPT-Plus, a new language model developed by EleutherAI, gives users access to GPT-4. To clarify, GPT-Plus is not GPT-4, and it does not provide direct access to GPT-4.

GPT-Plus is an open-source language model developed by a community of volunteers led by EleutherAI, a nonprofit research organization. GPT-Plus is designed to be a more transparent and accessible alternative to GPT-3, which is proprietary and only available through licensing agreements with OpenAI.

GPT-Plus is based on the same architecture as GPT-3 and uses a similar training process. However, it has some key differences that make it distinct from GPT-3. For example, GPT-Plus is trained on a different dataset, which includes a more diverse range of sources than the dataset used to train GPT-3. Additionally, GPT-Plus has been fine-tuned to perform better on certain tasks, such as generating code and understanding scientific concepts.

While GPT-Plus is not the same as GPT-4, it is possible that the knowledge and insights gained from developing GPT-Plus could be used to inform the development of GPT-4 in the future. Both GPT-3 and GPT-Plus are based on transformer architecture, which has been shown to be effective for NLP tasks. However, there are many challenges to developing a language model as advanced as GPT-4, and it is unclear when or if such a model will be developed.

In conclusion, GPT-Plus is not GPT-4, and it does not provide direct access to GPT-4. However, it is a promising open-source alternative to GPT-3 that has the potential to advance the field of NLP and contribute to the development of future language models. While it remains to be seen whether GPT-4 will ever be developed, the ongoing research and development of language models like GPT-Plus is likely to continue to drive progress in the field of artificial intelligence.

[tardy geode]

integrate chatgpt into discord

[bold pier]

Not reading all that. I'm happy for you, or sorry that happened.

[tardy geode]

summarized this using chat gpt

[cloud zinc]

now make it bark

[brazen sail]

Has anybody completed the starlink beam take home

[jovial rain]

Is that the spacex OA? I have a take home from starlink too

[brazen sail]

Yeah, ive been nervous for it I dont know what to expect

[pallid sapphire]

Need some advice.

I want to connect with an SDE manager of a company

I want to connect in the hopes that they can eventually help me get my foot in the company

What should the connection message be to not sound desperate??

I'm v clueless

[fallen fox]

pls gib jobe

[pallid sapphire]

Ha ha

But srsly

[obsidian crater]

Gib job and post his IP as blackmail

[quaint talon]

Greedy solution works, don't overthink it

First part requires you to know how to change reference frames

I totally over thought it after my initial solution didn't pass all test cases

i should have just tried reversing order of loops

Or honestly using a different language

i gave up on the greedy approach and thought of how to solve it optimally using network flow

but ran out of time implementing it

Got rejected lol

[autumn iris]

[ornate cliff]

chatgpt

[tardy geode]

anyone got their ead?

[obsidian crater]

what date you pick?

I'm picking july 31 if I don't get an interview on thursday

[tardy geode]

i did not yet

[pure mauve]

Lmfao spacex one is so long had to just brute force that shit

Oh I had one with connecting satellites in some 3d grid or something idk

[remote tree]

Hey guys ,
I’m graduating this December and looking for jobs .
I have a internship in a small startup for this summer, it’s based on Python .
Can you people guide me on how to crack a full time job before December .
Any inputs from very basic routine to anything specific are welcome .
Also guide me on hiring timelines of the companies .

[nocturne obsidian]

[meager terrace]

if you've been applying with the same resume and it isn't working. It's time to change the resume to add more interesting projects. Have a resume that has projects that are specifically catered to the job listing. What you can do is make a folder in your file directory called "resumes" and within that add a bunch of folders with specific tech stacks and put your catered resume in there. That way it can be named normally without have a duplication error. Plus it keeps it organized!

[ornate oxide]

great Suggestion, I did file directory for different resumes as well

[ornate cliff]

Recruiting for next summer starts around July/August so be ready... Positions starting in January I'm not so sure but keep an eye out and apply daily...

And start leetcode so you're ready when the time comes

[jaunty storm]

Me coming in ready with 446 LCs and a third internship.

I’m not gonna let them slip past me so easy this time.

[swift falcon]

took them like 3 and a half weeks to reject me

just tell me no up front smh

[static quarry]

“We decided to go with a better candidate” is going to be on my grave

[west egret]

Could be worse. Walmart waited 3-4 months to reject after final.

[rain patio]

to get my offer this week

[late kestrel]

hmmm

what do you provide

[quiet flame]

I have been practicing hackerrank questions for a while, and think I can reasonably complete a medium level question, are there any companies that use hackerrank for their process?

[late kestrel]

most use hackerrank as a platform for the OA, but in my exp, the questions are more likely found on lc

[obsidian crater]

bromance

[frozen thistle]

What's interview process at Neuralink for Full time SWE like? Leetcode + assignment?

[brave forge]

na go to midwest and you can find ppl

[fallen fox]

bungie oa stinks

smh all this effort and those mfers gonna ghost me

[swift falcon]

what do u bring to the table?

[obsidian crater]

you got a wife lol

[swift falcon]

it will work out

just truss me bro

[warm olive]

Lol

[static quarry]

Spacex reject after live coding interview (my fault)
John Deere cancel technical interview 5 minutes before
Epic reject after recorded coding OA (I thought I did well??)
HCSC cancel after 3 phone calls (weirdos ngl)
Tegus reject after pass 30 minute behavioral -> 75 minute live coding interview -> 75 minute live debugging challenge -> 30 minute behavioral
Vanguard cancel before final```

unlucky!

[crisp zenith]

Would applying to sdet be worth it if I'm currently struggling to get a swe role? Feels like it'll be harder to transition to swe afterwards.

[timber rock]

if you need a job then go for it, it's better than being unemployed

one job as an sdet will not permanently bar you from non-sdet roles for eternity

yes but the simple solution to that is to apply to junior non sdet roles, and if you really think it's holding you back then you can just take it off your resume

but the person with 6 months exp as an sdet will come out ahead of the person with 0 months exp in nothing always

it's ofc different if youre trying to go from senior sdet to senior swe or something like that

[crisp zenith]

thanks, appreciate the advice!

[timber rock]

i would argue that sdet is way more relevant experience for normal swe jobs than data analytics is

but yes, if you can get a proper swe job then go for that. but taking an sdet job temporarily is not bad

ya but my point is the guy is struggling to get an swe role rn and 6 months of sdet experience is better than 6 months of unemployment

assuming he will keep applying and not stay in sdet for years

yeah the biggest thing to consider is do you have enough time to job prep well and keep interviewing while working full time

[timber rock]

well besides "do you need a job to survive the next 6 months"

[fallen fox]

im doing an it job rn after 3 months of unemployment

hopefully i dont get pigeonholed

jobs sorta braindead so i grind lc at work

[livid yew]

What is SDET

Oh just a QA engineer lol

[iron lily]

i think SDET is more than just QA

pretty sure they wear both hats

dev and qa

[obsidian crater]

mane I got rejected from an internship

they didn't even give me a technical interview

[livid yew]

Our QA is like this

[neon tide]

[native crow]

anyone here graduating in Fall 2023 semester, wasnt sure when applications open for Winter 2024 openings

[native crow]

Do you think that August is early enough?

[ornate cliff]

Some even start in July LMAO

[mossy fiber]

I started looking for a job last May, and I'm still unemployed

[obsidian crater]

Same

[ornate cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/wazowski-mike-mike-wazowski-gif-20881448

[outer radish]

you mind me asking if this was just cause the technicals or fucked or was the resume screen the barrier

cause tbh last sept wasn't too bad in terms of like companies posting at least

[mossy fiber]

yea keep changing my resume

[late kestrel]

yeahhhh last august/sept pretty much every company was sending out interviews outside of big tech

[mossy fiber]

my resume suck last year

basically add more experience, keywords & use jack's template

[outer radish]

just for these mfs to lay off the next month

[late kestrel]

they even asked 2x lc hards and mental math tests for my janitor job

[lament kindle]

Where have we come 😓

[mossy fiber]

they asked system design for QA role's interview

[obsidian crater]

well I started applying in like June

When the hiring freezes started

[swift falcon]

I got onsite interview tomorrow. I'm not prepared

[obsidian crater]

Idk if they were hiring for 2023 new grads in June 2022

[swift falcon]

if someone asks me what SOLID is i will cry

[timber rock]

who ready for 2026 hiring season

[late kestrel]

tbf bb's app wasnt public till like early september i dont think

idr when they officially put it out on their site

[obsidian crater]

I think I did a few OAs then

Got ghosted

Then fire nation attacked and we are the slaves of Ozai

[mossy fiber]

one time they asked me to implement a singleton class and I provided 3 solutions and they rejected me.

[obsidian crater]

welp

it's pretty doomed now

[teal jackal]

I'm still at the "I failed the behavioral" stage of interviewing
for sure I'm a weak candidate when it comes to personality fit and charisma
I do better as a technical monkey

[swift falcon]

i was going to say something

but then I realized, I too have failed behavioral ig

only got to 1st round intro interviews

[teal jackal]

I'm autistic, sheltered, not really any interesting life experiences, very neckbeard-y in terms of life habits, etc

Yeah I'm not ashamed of who I am

[outer radish]

im the opposite

[obsidian crater]

I'm a grass toucher

[outer radish]

gotta be a technical monkey

[teal jackal]

but it sucks that these factors contribute towards me having a hard time finding a job

[outer radish]

• the behavioural skills that makes me a sophisticated neanderthal

[timber rock]

i've failed behavioural twice lol

[obsidian crater]

mane it's kinda over now

[timber rock]

optiver asked me "what would happen if you walked into a room and there were 5 clones of you in the room and you were given a task"

[obsidian crater]

begging my parents to pay for grad school

[timber rock]

like what

[obsidian crater]

or I'm gonna be jobless for a while

[swift falcon]

we would all start fighting probably

[outer radish]

get zesty

[teal jackal]

i feel like the answer they want to that question is somewhere along the lines of

"all 5 versions of me would work cohesively in a team"

[obsidian crater]

pog

[swift falcon]

we would all wait for someone else to take leadership, sigh and then everyone would take the lead, then we'd all get mad/resentful at each other

[prisma flax]

I think i just fucked up a normal introductory interview

[mossy fiber]

ask chatgpt the questions such as "why company", its answer is pretty good

[prisma flax]

[teal jackal]

most people arent slick enough for it

[timber rock]

chatgpt is ass at leetcode

[teal jackal]

and even when someone does use chatgpt for interviews theyre probably not as slick as they think they are

[timber rock]

if youre gonna cheat on an onsite you might as well just look up the question on google instead of asking chatgpt

[prisma flax]

Prompt engineering with how question works can write the sol in 5 mins

[late kestrel]

palantir, bb, c1, the holy trinity of early fall 2022 interviews

[prime palm]

lmao trueeeee

bloombergy and palantir

both reject at final stages

[teal jackal]

memories

[prime palm]

hurt so bad

😭

[timber rock]

"my recruiter said bloomberg is done"

[swift falcon]

So I told them my solution and then we moved on to q&a about a silly broad range of topics from trivia definitions to micro services and they just kept randomly ping ponging between each other it was clear there wasn’t a plan or any cohesion between the two of them. In the end they ghosted me but thankfully the recruiter got back to me and it sounds like they weren’t looking to pay what they offered.
this is listed as an interview experience on glassdoor for company I'm interviewing tomorrow

[prime palm]

Loooool

[mossy fiber]

bb hired a lot i think, but my resume was shit last year

[teal jackal]

so sad i got resume reject from bloomberg my first application, then my second application got rejected after screening interview(pipeline was extremely clogged by then)

[late kestrel]

simply get luckier with your recruiter being faster lol

[timber rock]

i got to the phone for bb then got slapped

[late kestrel]

well SOME of us dont go to decent schools

the real real hack was having a recruiter reach out on linkedin

[south sable]

i mean do you have to go to the school to go to the school?

[teal jackal]

campus hiring events where they actually interview in person are a cheat code

[late kestrel]

what do u mean by this

[west egret]

I rejected their power day for you

[south sable]

what's stopping me from showing up to their events and interviewing?

[mossy fiber]

Raytheon reached to me twice, but I am not citizen💀

[south sable]

are they really gonna care whether I'm a student at that school?

[late kestrel]

uhhh fair enough i guess but i feel when they look at your resume

and you dont go to the school theyre at

[teal jackal]

oh yeah I also have a really strong stutter when I'm forced to talk in serious situations

[south sable]

yeah, i know - it's really just more about introducing yourself

i mean unless school is really that big of a factor to them

[prisma flax]

If you can get access to the fair, give it a shot there’s no harm in that

[teal jackal]

I think T10 cs schools get a lot of these in person itnerviewing opportunities

[prisma flax]

Its all luck

[teal jackal]

non-t10 students can do what t10 students do, but a non-t10 student has to work harder to compensate

and i dont like working hard

[hoary fern]

same probably ditching swe to become a tech tiktoker

[teal jackal]

Probably going to buy a small home with a small yard and try to get financial independence

I see myself burning out someday

[timber rock]

day in the life of an unemployed cs grad

[hoary fern]

my parents wanted me to buy a house w my first internship money

[brave forge]

maybe if u get a trailer home

[teal jackal]

or buy it in rural idk, guatemala?

[hoary fern]

oh lol it was 8 mo internship not those measly 3 month ones

[west egret]

either way no one is saving enough to buy a house with a single internship unless it's in a super rural area

[late kestrel]

you can be neighbors with hickie

[swift falcon]

ok bros I cut my fingernails, I should be prepared for interview tomorrow

ready to ace it

[west egret]

intern as CEO -> buy house in Bay Area

[obsidian crater]

Be a CEO -> buy an island

[hoary fern]

could realistically buy an island after a long internship

[brave forge]

that island is in canada and probably frozen over most of the year

[timber rock]

comes with free slaves

[teal jackal]

Yeah Nova Scotia islands are cheap since they're hard to get to

You can't build anything on them

[sonic coral]

https://www.privateislandsonline.com/central-america/nicaragua/la-cornelia-island

Get an island in Nicaragua for 90k

[swift falcon]

can build a fort

[teal jackal]

A lot of states have strong protection for squatters too

You can't just tell the cops to kick them out

Gotta do eviction process nowadays

[swift falcon]

can u be a beach bum and software engineer

van life or sth

big if true

[neon tide]

seems kinda easy tbh

hardest behavioral i've ever gotten was some stupid bullshit that was: you're driving in a car down the highway, 100 miles from civilization in any direction with your best friend, your car only has 2 seats. You come by an uncovered rest stop that has the woman of your dreams and a sick old lady. It's pouring rain, and if you don't get that sick old lady to the hospital she probably will get pneumonia. There is no way for more than 2 people to fit in the car. If you leave you will never see the woman of your dreams again. What do you do?

[late kestrel]

simply use light mode

[swift falcon]

probably help sick old lady ig

[late kestrel]

youre gonna go crazy one day anyways dont delay the inevitable

[neon tide]

the correct answer is let best friend and old lady take the car and stand in the rain with the woman of your dreams

[swift falcon]

jfc

[neon tide]

yeah this was for a non-swe job like a decade ago, i can't remember what i said but it involved save old lady and got the job. They told me perfect answer after

i was like this is such a waste of interview time

[swift falcon]

can u turn it back on them and be like “how can you assume I’m attracted to women?”

[neon tide]

https://tenor.com/view/the-universe-tim-and-eric-mind-blown-mind-blown-meme-mind-explosion-mind-explosion-meme-gif-18002878

did u just assume my sexual orientation

can you get hr in here pls

[timber rock]

its not hard, just a stupid hypothetical that has no relevance to whether i can do the job or not

[neon tide]

the interviewer be like: "maybe if i throw them a weird one the crazy will come out"

live first round interview is great. fuck OAs

i have had twice that i would have 100% failed an OA with the same questions but got passed on to next round cause live interviewer was watching and liked my thought process

fuck OAs

[swift falcon]

im going to raw dog interview tomorrow

[brave forge]

my life

[swift falcon]

the audacity

[rain patio]

Has anyone gone through the ixl technical phone interview?

[hot sail]

Is hiring for software engineers slowing down?

[static quarry]

Its dead

[livid yew]

she is bad team mate

[hot sail]

that bad.....

Is all of it slowing down or are there are parts that are still ok for entry level hiring?

[obsidian crater]

It's dead

[static quarry]

Entry level hiring is specifically really bad right now

[obsidian crater]

If you're entry level basically nobody hiring except defense

[static quarry]

This is what vanguard sent to me, i was supposed to get a final round interview

[obsidian crater]

Seniors are having a hard time but there are openings

[hot sail]

I'm so sorry. That's rough....

[serene nymph]

i mean, in this market it doesn't make sense to hire new grads over sdes with 1-3 yoe

[static quarry]

if you are international and entry level, its going to be extremely hard

[hot sail]

Is defense considered bad to work for? My brother just got a systems engineer for Lockheed.

[static quarry]

I agree

[obsidian crater]

Defense is fine

[serene nymph]

im genuinely looking into grad schools now

[obsidian crater]

same

[serene nymph]

even though i really didnt want to/have the money

[obsidian crater]

I'm international + new grad => 🪢

[serene nymph]

beats not doing anything all day

[fallen fox]

im thinking about putting in a fake internship

[static quarry]

the worst combo

[serene nymph]

wont work

[hot sail]

Good luck to y'all with that

[obsidian crater]

I don't think internships count

[serene nymph]

people with faang internships arent getting anywhere

[obsidian crater]

Most employers don't really count internships as experience

[hoary fern]

literally useless

[hot sail]

At this point I'm just jamming on random projects to boost my resume...

[serene nymph]

i had a bad feeling about graduating lol

[serene nymph]

dont think itll have too much of an impact either, sadly

id say specialize in ee/ce concepts

theres some jobs there who will happily take you

[obsidian crater]

projects only matter if your resume is empty

[livid yew]

I mean projects can help

[hot sail]

I've got an internship but that's about it

that and my projects

[livid yew]

but 9/10 times the recruiter and engineers won't check your GH profile

[obsidian crater]

^

[livid yew]

I WISH THEY WOULD

[serene nymph]

^

[livid yew]

fuckers

[serene nymph]

particularly at big companies

maybe startups will

[livid yew]

I interviewed a guy yesterday

[fallen fox]

my github is a shithole anyway

[livid yew]

I checked his github

was good

[hot sail]

I wonder if it's better nowadays to learn weirder languages like Scala/Go/Julia to standout

[livid yew]

every piece of code I have ever written is in github

including college course code

pretty sure I wasn't supposed to post HW lol

[hot sail]

I strive for that level of documentation and archiving

[obsidian crater]

About to apply to an ML role

[autumn iris]

lockheed is good

[obsidian crater]

Only ML experience I have is coursework

[livid yew]

Scala is getting some hype here

[autumn iris]

[obsidian crater]

I know Scala and it's quite nice

[livid yew]

we use Go A LOT

like a lot lot

[hot sail]

Oh ok. I just wondered since Scala doesn't seem common for entry levels

[obsidian crater]

Idk why it didn't kill Java yet

Java is gross

[livid yew]

go is poggers

[obsidian crater]

Go is nice

[livid yew]

its got a weird syntax, coming from a JS dev

but so be it

[serene nymph]

i dont want my professors to hunt me down bc of posting hw on my gh lol

[hot sail]

Most other people I know use Javascript/C++/Python/random app language so that is good to know

[serene nymph]

thats the last thing i need

[livid yew]

buddy I graduted, they dont give a fuck

[serene nymph]

they can take your degree if they care lol

[obsidian crater]

JS syntax isn't that weird

C++ has some horrific syntax

[hot sail]

Yeah scala is fun. Wanted to find data engineering positions with it, but I feel they want data engineers with a few years exp

[livid yew]

yeah we are running Java 17

so pretty recent

[serene nymph]

i had a professor who copyrighted her material and warned us not to ever make it public lol

[livid yew]

our prod systems are JS

all 5 of them

wanna see a 4 level promise chain

was not my choice lol

we are going to convert to Go later this year

[hot sail]

That sounds unholy

[livid yew]

but thats an effort for 1 person

I've scoped most of the conversion,

[obsidian crater]

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void foo() {
  throw ([&](void***){});
}
int main()
{
  foo();
  return 0;
}

Just gonna drop this gore

[livid yew]

C++ I think

[obsidian crater]

yes

[livid yew]

Yeah I will let other people get paid for C++

wont touch it

I actively turn down C++ jobs

[obsidian crater]

C++ isn't that bad

It's more bad than that

[livid yew]

I use Java, Kotlin, Python, Go, TypeScript, JavaScript daily

all in one 8hr day

[obsidian crater]

wish I had a job

[autumn iris]

same

[rain patio]

Do recruiters tend to visit portfolio websites

Or is it mainly LinkedIn?

[obsidian crater]

nobody hits me up

[timber rock]

class of 2023 gonna be unstoppable

what doesnt kill you makes you stronger

😎

[obsidian crater]

[static quarry]

[obsidian crater]

I think that's just copium honestly

tbh there isn't really a lot to learn when the market has no job postings open

[west egret]

That's the best way to view it IMO

[obsidian crater]

I don't want to be one of those gloom and doomers but people have said my resume is fine and I can't even get OAs

[timber rock]

me too but i didnt learn and just got lucky lol

[west egret]

Rejections happen. If you got something from it, it wasn't a complete waste of time.

[livid yew]

zen

[prisma flax]

it only happens when you get multiple interviews

[livid yew]

[west egret]

Yeah but being negative doesn't really do much for you either. Important to keep a positive mental attitude when you do get your chances.

[timber rock]

2 of my offers only had behavioural interviews and the other one i managed to get a sub-optimal 90% solution and somehow got the offer

[livid yew]

@obsidian crater curious, are you on a visa or anything?

I usually give 90% solutions

I dont think I have ever gotten a interview question completly right

[obsidian crater]

yeah unfortunately

[livid yew]

I see

so you eventually get booted?

[obsidian crater]

pretty much

I'm allowed 90 days of unemployment

[west egret]

tbh I'm pretty sure I had less than 10 interviews across two seasons

[obsidian crater]

So I got 90 days after july 31 before the boot

[west egret]

out of 300 applications total

[tacit grove]

correct

[livid yew]

rip

[tacit grove]

but I think it's 90 days in total that you can use until you get an H1B - so you'd be using up all your 90 days. Someone correct me if im wrong but this is what im aware of

[obsidian crater]

My friends who graduated last year got jobs pretty easily tbh

But last year was different

[prisma flax]

Undergrad in US is shit expensive for internationals

[obsidian crater]

yeah I've been considering grad school

I got admission to grad school at my uni

[prisma flax]

try consulting if it doesn't work out than do masters

[obsidian crater]

Idk where I can get in lol

My GPA is not stellar and I don't have publications

[prisma flax]

many uni accept master's without publications

[obsidian crater]

how

[prisma flax]

Just apply and show case your interests and why that university

[autumn iris]

i had a 3.2 gpa no publications, at a t5 CS

[prisma flax]

get in touch with a prof if you really interested to do some research

[autumn iris]

didnt need to take GRE

[prisma flax]

GRE became a scam now

[obsidian crater]

interesting

[prisma flax]

back in day it used to have value, people started cheating a lot

yea scope of things and your understanding changes a lot

[obsidian crater]

I think my GPA is a weak point though honestly

No

[prisma flax]

honestly your it doesn't depend on only your gpa

[obsidian crater]

I'll probably get > a 3.0 this semester unless I really shit on one class

[prisma flax]

it depends on your course gpa

[livid yew]

my gpa is less than 3

course gpa? whats that

[prisma flax]

like course grade

[obsidian crater]

my GPA starts out ass early into college

then gets better

[livid yew]

i mean i just look at the total number at the end of the semester dude

[obsidian crater]

I got a 3.7 last semester

but w/e

[livid yew]

I never got above a 3.4

[prisma flax]

if you wanna do master's in Machine learning than stats, machine learning those course grade matter's a lot than overall

[livid yew]

I don't ever plan on going into ML

[prisma flax]

I basically means your course score

[livid yew]

not for me

[prisma flax]

it's just a example

[livid yew]

I will let the nerds do ML

[prisma flax]

market is flooded with ML

[livid yew]

Masters, I would get like a biz degree or something

not a CS masters

that is just dumb in my opinon

[prisma flax]

unless in very big name brand

[livid yew]

I want to start a company tho

[obsidian crater]

My plan was to work for like 3 years

[livid yew]

like when im 40 or so

[obsidian crater]

Then get a master's degree in stats/finance to try to get a quant job

[late kestrel]

rnt u already?

boomer

[livid yew]

40 is when I would be settled in at my job

[prisma flax]

yea by 40 with all responsibilities it get's tough

[livid yew]

I aint one of those retire before 50 nerds

fuck that shit

[prisma flax]

you guys wants to end up as IC?

[livid yew]

yea

[obsidian crater]

what is IC?

[livid yew]

Integrated Circut

[obsidian crater]

pog

[prisma flax]

l5? or l6?

[timber rock]

not management, basically

[livid yew]

depends on the company lol

Senior for us is L5

DevOps is def a bunch of IC work too

I am currently L2, Senior is L5

[obsidian crater]

I see

[prisma flax]

gotcha

[livid yew]

I apply to whatever roles open at big tech

I will join FAANG at a downlvl if needbe

[prisma flax]

Amazon IC lies between in odd space of l5-l6

starting IC's

[livid yew]

?

a L3 is a IC

lol

huh

[prisma flax]

Neetflix pays out in all cash

[obsidian crater]

I'm gonna try to get research experience to boost my grad school app

[livid yew]

yeah the TC at netflix is nice

[prisma flax]

and all cash

[livid yew]

otherwise, its just a job

I could buy a new car if I got netflix

once I started doing SWE for the money, my mindset changed

promo as fast as possible lol

[obsidian crater]

Anyone here have research experience?

[prisma flax]

cool man, that's some crazy shit

bay area started interview process any idea?

two technical and two system design?

today I did a round and they told we follow standard bay area process, and like 4 more rounds 2 technical and 2 gonna be discussion and get to know stuff

was confused what the heck is discussion

[obsidian crater]

wait but I'm honestly confused

How can I get into a t20 cs school with just a 3.0 lol

There has to be more

[prisma flax]

how tuff is it to deal with audio files for DE?

[obsidian crater]

Inshallah I will get a job so I can pay for t20 cs grad school 🤡

[prisma flax]

GRE became useless, it's all scam

no I am just getting to know stuff about things the company i interview do

ohh gotcha

never touched a audio/video files

[livid yew]

seems pretty self explainatory

discussion about something

[prisma flax]

so for audio cleaning the files and quality checks all those how it's gonna work?

[prisma flax]

well i don't know how to prepare

gotcha it just flew from my mind for now gonna dig some up for better understanding

yea, but trying to get a better sense of things to talk in an interview

I never tried/worked with audio/video it just keeps bugging me, just to build up some confidence gonna see and look up how to do things

if i get that job yes

it's all about the audio

Sure would do

Damn I never know preparing for interview would clear so much stuff from your brain, it just fills the gaps in many areas

I did that and felt shoot myself by asking all weird question involving the audio files( asked just bcuz I was curios )

yea gotcha

[cloud zinc]

for positions offering remote work, would it be wise to mention your willingness to relocate due to state tax laws?

[south sable]

where do you work now?

[rain patio]

this is after the final interview

L or W?

why cant they just say it in the email

ffs

[brave forge]

Because that’s the dumbest way to give someone an offer

Most likely, he wants to give you an offer on a call

[rain patio]

just had the call

I GOT THE OFFER

FIRST OFFER IN 4 FKING MONTHS

HELLA YAAAA

FINALLY

[brave forge]

Awesome 👏 you made it

[brave forge]

[fresh mango]

Y’all think all the LinkedIn reach out and cold messaging actually does something?

I am certain whoever I message would already have a flooded inbox to begin with

Recruiter/manager whoever

[autumn iris]

just smoked my interview

told me i'll hear back very soon, final interview next week if i make it

[pine topaz]

Recessions usualy last 11 months, we are halfway there

Fat stack TC offers soon

[teal jackal]

No wonder Dropbox doesn't hire much nowadays in the first place

[dusty basin]

https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/mild-recession-now-likely-year-federal-reserve-says-rcna79405

idk about that chief

[obsidian crater]

They've been saying a recession is coming forever

[pine topaz]

we alreaady ahe a tech recession, it cant be worse t_t

[dusty basin]

“Given their assessment of the potential economic effects of the recent banking-sector developments, the staff’s projection at the time of the March meeting included a mild recession starting later this year, with a recovery over the subsequent two years,” the meeting summary stated.

[obsidian crater]

I'll believe them when it happens

[dusty basin]

are the 0 offers not proof enough?

[obsidian crater]

That's just a tech thing

🤷‍♂️ my accounting friends all got jobs

at big 4

It's probably coming this summer tho

[livid yew]

@obsidian crater did u touch grass today

[obsidian crater]

yes

[livid yew]

[obsidian crater]

begging friend for TSLA referral

I find this recession prediction kinda meme because they've been saying it since last summer so they're bound to be right someday

[livid yew]

Yeah my stocks are down today

Must be recession

[obsidian crater]

My pants fell down

Must be recession

[livid yew]

Office so loud today 😔

[shut thistle]

where do you work?

[livid yew]

I didn't realize all these people had kids

Some of them speak better English than their parents

[obsidian crater]

kids

[dusty basin]

Can confirm. @livid yew is my kid

[brave forge]

if only...there was a way to obtain kids without having your own...perhaps...adoption?

[rigid quail]

get you a baby mama

i would adopt but yeah i want one of my own too tbh

[brave forge]

when is it a good time

just keep them in a box

[rigid quail]

30 is a perfect age imo

[pine topaz]

never

[rigid quail]

nah im different

that can’t be true

[livid yew]

Lemme think

My dad was 35 when I was born

Wait

Yep that's right

My younger sister, my dad was 40

[autumn iris]

[livid yew]

My older sister, he was 28 I think

Not sure why they waited so long lol

I'll ask during my next 1:1 with my dad 💀

[brave forge]

there's a lotta shit people make wrong for their kids to be, especially the religous parents

[autumn iris]

wait is this channel also for people graduating december?

or people who graduated already

[brave forge]

either

but only if you already graduated in 2023

[livid yew]

Roblox didn't exist when I was a kid

Pretty sure it launched in like 2012 or something

[brave forge]

dang i was going to click that

ok i clicked it

[livid yew]

How is that ban?

Lol this ain't 4th grade bro

This is a free, open forum

Yeah I've said some sussy shit

In discord

[brave forge]

ok that thread was the dumbest thing ive ever laid eyes upon

[cloud zinc]

thats pretty funny if you think about the gay frogs rant from alex jones way back when. We really have gone full circle

[brave forge]

ya they are called CS majors

[timber rock]

yeah i was just about to say that 😂

[cloud zinc]

understandable fear

[brave forge]

Ya you should prevent them from doing that until they are older. There's a lot of bad stuff out there they shouldn't really view. Also giving them cell phone access young just turns them into a phone zombie and they watch youtube non-stop

i wouldn't give a kid access to phones until like 8 at least when they are a little self aware. if they get introduced at 1 or 2 they just always want it

[sonic coral]

tf was this thread

i didnt get to click in time

[brave forge]

i didnt even really have computers until i was like 10+ and never really got a phone till i was 18 and brought one myself

[cloud zinc]

also block certain sites from your router or isp. You wouldn't want your kid to go to Deviantart.

[timber rock]

conservatives being scared that roblox is "turning the kids trans"

[cloud zinc]

just DM the link if you're concerned

[sonic coral]

I just saw it lmao its just a fuckin echo chamber tf

[livid yew]

Is Roblox the one with the blocks

[brave forge]

have u seen elon's tweets the guy went full on conservative after his kid disowned him and went trans and his wife left him for a trans activist

[cloud zinc]

I only know roblox by the sus shit the company has been doing with kids

both creepy ways and financially exploitative

[livid yew]

I think I opened Robox one time

Also where do all these kids get PCs lol

[brave forge]

same it was at school to play a roblox shooter

[livid yew]

Bro my kid is getting a dumb phone until they are in Middle school

Nah fuck a smartphone for elementary school lol

[sonic coral]

roblox def has child predators but these conservatives are wildin with the transphobic stuff

[brave forge]

smart move. in fact just give them an apple watch with lte enabled so it doubles as a watch and caller

[livid yew]

No I don't care for them to call me

I don't want to talk to them

[sonic coral]

give em the nothing phone

[livid yew]

[cloud zinc]

give them the ladybug phone for really old people

[livid yew]

Fuck it, most of my team is OOO today

I'm just gonna head home.

[sonic coral]

oh not the nothing phone

the light phone

[brave forge]

out of order?

[sonic coral]

this thing

[livid yew]

Out of Office

[teal jackal]

2005 or so but it started picking up steam in 2007

[livid yew]

I never played games before HS tbh

[late kestrel]

i woke up at 10:45 today was great

[sonic coral]

its a smartphone with an e-ink display

[cloud zinc]

the jitterbug

[brave forge]

i never really played games after high school lol

[cloud zinc]

why

[livid yew]

I play games all night now

[sonic coral]

for phone addiction i guess

[brave forge]

discord at work '

[cloud zinc]

no but why an e-ink display?

[livid yew]

Yep

[brave forge]

how do u manage your sleep schedule

[livid yew]

I got no tasks today

[cloud zinc]

seems weird to have it on a phone

[livid yew]

I sleep 12-7

Or 1-7

Today was 2-6

[sonic coral]

to make it so you cant have custom apps

[livid yew]

Yes 4 hours of sleep

[sonic coral]

it supports texting too

[cloud zinc]

oh shit, I got an interview with LogicManager. Havent heard back from them in two weeks and thought they ghosted me

[brave forge]

what games do u play techie

[livid yew]

[tardy geode]

[brave forge]

they only have two jobs open what did u apply to

[cloud zinc]

Associate software engineer

[fallen fox]

linkedin is garbage lmao

[swift falcon]

i think i fucked ip on behavioral

like 1 question

everythin else was perfect

got too wrapped up in anecdote instead of giving answeer they wanted

they were looking for communication resolution

like it was “when is a time you were on a team with ppl who didn’t pull your weight”

and I used a linear alg project where i did fkkin everything

even tho i suck ass at it

and I was like I tried to get these guys involved and help out because its not my strong point yadda yadda it was fine we handed it in amd got decent marks

and ig to the interviewer it sounded like i was thinking i was entitled to help, because I had mentioned my classmates were sbetter at it

and so they were like what would you do different

and i said probably get prof involved

interviewer said “well that’s like a last resort tho”

and so i went the “break the priblem down into smaller parts and try to delegate” but I realized as I was walking out they were probably looking for “communicate with teammates better and resolve issue”

idk

[brave forge]

D I C E

[swift falcon]

it wouldn’t be so bad but interviewer b literally said “i really want to help you, I think this would be a great job but i want to go back to this question that gave me the creeps(?)”

[fallen fox]

all i see are scam and garbage postings

maybe the market is like that now

[swift falcon]

im not sure he said creeps

but who the fuck gets creeped out by that

yeah

meh it was the only one i could think of tbh

like i was drawing a blank 😂

[brave forge]

ya this is the truth these guys are not going to relate to uni

[swift falcon]

but fair enough

[brave forge]

you should of just grasped at strings. Have you never been in a group project at internships?

[swift falcon]

no

no internships

im mostly solo/isolated at job

[brave forge]

ok that makes sense. To be honest if i had no internships idk what I would even talk about in interviews these guys grill into you hard

it's retarded to be honest if you have never worked in tech it is so hard to land a tech job

[swift falcon]

so fr for that answer I had nothing recent

[brave forge]

i dont think it was bad what else can you give if you've never worked before

idk what would of made them happy

not really my intern jobs came pretty easily

[swift falcon]

I have worked FT for last 5 years in IT support

[brave forge]

intern jobs aren't a full time offer though so i dont really care

[swift falcon]

i just have been the only person at my job lol, no teams

[brave forge]

ive been in uni / tech for 1 year and 4 months now lol

[livid yew]

Nice

[swift falcon]

i have gone back to school over last 4 years

so miss me wit dat

but they didn’t ask abt that

[brave forge]

the question was about groups though

[swift falcon]

they asked abt tteammates

[brave forge]

idk if tech support people really work in teams

[swift falcon]

and I don’t have fuck ups for teammates

[brave forge]

what do they do have a group meeting to discuss how to answer phone call better

[swift falcon]

so Im not going to make some shit up

[brave forge]

you should tbh

no body would know

it's not like they will hook u up to a lie detector

[swift falcon]

laff

[brave forge]

you should have made a document and wrote out common behavioral answers

[swift falcon]

y’all are wildin

[brave forge]

in fact, even people who work in SWE for years make up their behavioral answers ask any senior SWE

they take a list of behavioral questions, make up stories that sound real, and memorize it to repeat in interviews

[swift falcon]

that’s your opinion

[brave forge]

ya but that's what happened though right

[swift falcon]

eh

[brave forge]

what are u

[swift falcon]

the goal wasn’t to impress

[brave forge]

why dont u want to impress the interviewer?

they will forget about u if your unimpressive

[swift falcon]

they could get impressed by my thesis, or customer service anecdotes or the other 60 minutes of shi we talked abt haha

or da fact that I have worked full time and gotten a bachelor’s and masters over last 4-5 years

[autumn iris]

any 2032 grads

[obsidian crater]

2032 kekw

[swift falcon]

alr so bottom line next time im not using dat story lol

we’ve established that

lin alg was a stretch

panic

let’s see if i get offer

the technical part was hilarious

they asked SOLID

and i was like fk

im not gonna remember all these, but I know liskovs

and dependency inversion

[brave forge]

idk any of this 😭

[swift falcon]

then they prompted others and i explained everything

and they said “you were the only person who actually knew any of these, everyone else is like scrambling to look it up”

and the other interviewer was like “i just actually had to look up it up as well”

and den they asked me to finish power function

and i was like fk this is exactly what glassdoor said it was gonna be lmao

and i still managed to draw a blank

but i got it after they were like “u can talk us thru logic” and it was fine

so idfk

was like 1hr and 45 minutes of interviews

went over allotment

[brave forge]

jeez are u interviewing at the national labratory of mathematics and asking hard questions company

[swift falcon]

nah

wait are u being facetious

[brave forge]

no i just wanna know why these questions are so hard

[swift falcon]

tbh id rather have it that way than leetcode

[brave forge]

oh in that case yes it's a discord server if u want serious use blind or slack

[swift falcon]

the x^y function is abt as difficult as I want to solve in interview haha

[brave forge]

what is the position

why are they asking u math questions

[swift falcon]

they weren’t

i just used the lin alg anecdote

they asked abt like abstraction and inheritance and shit like that

tbh i drew a blank on what abstraction really is and had to resort to example lol

they also asked what OOP is haha

[brave forge]

no not OOP 😭

i failed that once also

who tf asks what OOP is of course i know what it is it's written in that book somewhere and i will read it when it's important to know do i look like a chatgpt encyclopedia

[outer radish]

bro honestly reading this has me gagged

how do you balance all that together

and do like well lmao

[swift falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/toddlers-and-tiaras-big-grin-excited-girl-giddy-smile-gif-25584914

[swift falcon]

i only got a 3.68/3.72 GPA

im sure everyone else here is getting 4.0 with way harder classes

[brave forge]

i have a 3.72 also

we can be 3.72 buddies

[swift falcon]

[brave forge]

oh actually i have a 3.73

i guess we are no longer 3.72 buddies rip

[rain patio]

does gpa matter when applying

[swift falcon]

I don’t think so tbh

[brave forge]

oh wait i didnt put the gpa in

[swift falcon]

unless it’s like 1.0

[rain patio]

i stopped trying as hard senior year to focus on lc, and portfolio

[brave forge]

same

but i dropped to minimum enrollment so it's easier

and i still suck at lc and my portfolio still needs work

[outer radish]

mine is absolute booty

[fallen fox]

does anyone else look at their email every 5 minutes for an update

idk if thats just me

[fresh mango]

To see “we have gone with someone who suits our requirements”

[fallen fox]

[late kestrel]

i just got a cold call from revature

at least she was nice

[tardy geode]

dude stay away from them

its a big scam

[brave forge]

ngl

if i end up unemployed i might do it

i thought they stopped hiring now though since so many ppl are unemployed

[obsidian crater]

I wish I could get something

[fallen fox]

i don't understand what bungie wants in their OA

at the beginning they say "please don't spend more than a few hours, we don't want your code to be polished"

and then they say "your code must be optimal for both time and space, and must pass all edge cases"

[obsidian crater]

even a shitty IT job is ok

Just do everything

[brave forge]

ya in the USA entry level jobs are so bad

[fallen fox]

shitty it job > consulting

im in my shitty it job rn griding leetcode

[brave forge]

every industry wants to pay you 10 bucks an hour and work you either 20 hrs a week so u cant afford anything or like 40 + over time

at least tech is chill kind of

[obsidian crater]

I'm just so miserable because all my friends got cushy jobs

Meanwhile I can't because of the economy

They didn't work harder than me or do anything

[brave forge]

i fix that problem by not having friends

[obsidian crater]

Some of them didn't even finish blind 75

Still $170K TC

Survived all waves of AWS and Meta layoffs

Somehow

I'm happy for them but I wanna rope

[fallen fox]

im roping next month

not rope but gonna just drive off a bridge

[obsidian crater]

I'm starting to have hair loss from the stress lol

[fallen fox]

5 months into unemployment i probably wont ever find a swe job

[iron lily]

bruh same here

[obsidian crater]

This gonna be me next month

[iron lily]

Also jolting awake at 5 AM every morning because of stress

Haven’t slept well in months

[west egret]

Call 988 if you're serious

[brisk sigil]

how many of you don't have visa problems?

I may apply for phd this year

if there is no opening

[swift falcon]

bro this 10000%

[brave forge]

i wonder if i dont get a job if i should just go towards a masters

[late kestrel]

lol ik but idek where they got my info

[brave forge]

they steal it from job sites

although revature is a real company but a lot of the other ones arent

[late kestrel]

[bold pier]

Rejected from Startup after 8 rounds of interviews and flying across the country to interview with the CEO

[brave forge]

damnn

market tough

what was the rejection email

[obsidian crater]

8 rounds

Marone

[bold pier]

All coz the CEO didn't thing I was good enough after a brief 29 minute interview in which I even solved the question he gave

[brave forge]

jeez start ups can have the most temperamental ceos

wait

why tf did he fly you to have a 29 minute interview

[bold pier]

He VETOd, all the rounds before this went amazing

Insane

[brave forge]

what does VETOd mean

[bold pier]

Basically if he doesn't want to hire me it doesn't matter how good I did in other interviews

[sleek owl]

name and shame

[bold pier]

Soon, I wanna see if they give feedback or not first

[fallen fox]

https://tenor.com/view/aintnoway-gif-27058877

8 rounds lmao wtf

[bold pier]

Yeah, all expenses paid. I get to see West Coast for free mostly. But getting a job was more important, especially given so much time spend on the process.

[bold pier]

lmao I'm sitting in the office still, got rejected on the face

[sleek owl]

wow that's brutal

fuck that ceo

[brave forge]

dang man and your international. it's tough out there

[lone rapids]

Whats the name of this startup?

[swift falcon]

this is so fucked up

8 rounds smh

[obsidian crater]

[swift falcon]

what were the annoying questions?

[neon tide]

"totally not chill that he was asking questions, just relax bro"

im just imagining that ceo from the company that went viral on antiwork

the crazy mormon dude

[swift falcon]

the rescinded offer kinda fkd up

wouldn’t they have weeded that out earlier?

[neon tide]

"Hey what time do i need to show up for work on day 1?"

"annoying af, rescinded"

[swift falcon]

“Will I get a pc with a new 3080?”

[neon tide]

"hey so like do ya'll have health insurance"

[swift falcon]

[neon tide]

these hoes companies aint loyal

[brave forge]

they'll have the same meeting but with two other software engineers behind you LOL

[brave forge]

isnt that why you ask the recruiter the dumb questions

[neon tide]

nah you email these to CEO

ofc

[brave forge]

rip

[brave forge]

3080 is old now you got to get the 4090

[swift falcon]

“will i get to upgrade my pc after a year?”

“how many RAM does it have?”

got a call for a phone screen, trying to figure out where the damn job posting is and can’t find it, check my job spreadsheet and it says “doesn’t have portal” 💀

they got like 13 employees on linkedin

[bold pier]

Yeah, sitting in their conference room and applying to jobs again lmao.
Should have stayed back home.

[neon tide]

i need a job spreadsheet for next season

so hard sometimes if they remove the listing, etc to remember wtf you applied for

[swift falcon]

what does “funding via crunchbase” mean?

is this a startup!??

[obsidian crater]

Usually

[swift falcon]

it’s a local green energy company

would be pretty sweet

if i get paid regularly

[obsidian crater]

[prisma flax]

after some stability I do want to work in a startup tho, it's nice and chaotic experience

[obsidian crater]

I interned at one

[prisma flax]

yea, when people deal with internal tools than it's easier to loose sight

and after some time it doesn't make any sense what we are doing

but finding a good startup is a task in itself

[obsidian crater]

At my startup we didn't really use good tools

So I didn't like it

We used C, C++ and GTK

No real software development stuff like cloud or ci/cd

[oblique wasp]

which company?

[obsidian crater]

Yeah name and shame lol

[prisma flax]

according to me when you wanna advance your career and make it exciting and deal with ton of shit than startup which has potential and good founders is the place to go

[obsidian crater]

8 rounds on god

[prisma flax]

happened with me worked for a year with no clue what I was doing

yea one of the best case is getting acquired

can get high position and a lot of leverage

sometimes can get investment funds or business funds

[livid yew]

I think the majority of people in this server are single

[prisma flax]

yea should also have experience before joining a startups

[livid yew]

most ppl here are probably single, under 27, and have no clue what to do lol

[brave forge]

see i fit into this easily graduating at 20 with a CS degree and 2 internships but nobody wants to hire new-grad swe's so ill have to get a few years experience probably 3 or 4 and then try . Would also have to spend a ton of time on leetcode and get through the long interview process that is like 8 rounds or something

im not financially stable though

i need a jobb

well i do start my internship next month at least

ya i think im graduating university pretty weak on the skills just because i haven't really had much time to get better and im not really coding all day.

it might get better later in the year at least when im interning ill be coding more and focusing on interview prep and then new-grad interviews should get my skills sharper each time i get rejected

did you speed run your university ?

[brave forge]

yep i went through one of those online CS degree uni's

ya

there is it's pretty chill not hard to get through ive got a 3.75 gpa and never really struggled in any course

nobody even knows it's online since it's just a normal state school name so it just looks like a normal degree to employers

nah chill if would be difficult for first jobs and getting your first gig but once u start the hang of things should sort it out
