2023_grads

[rain patio]

Sometimes if u go viral

[arctic orchid]

I think also the difference this year with recruitment is a lot of recrutiers got laid off at these big companies

[tardy geode]

give me copium please

[grizzled bronze]

I don't think we anticipated any FAANG like Microsoft to have new grad anyway, and Dell sucks

[arctic orchid]

Bruh why Microsoft is huge one of the biggest product suites among the fanngs crazy there’s no room

It baffles me that a company that big isn’t taking new grads

Scumbag of a company

I feel like theres infinite senior openings

[unreal current]

How the hell were you able to add checkboxes for the Mckinsey OA?

[quasi drift]

Is anyone here working for Lockheed ?

[obsidian crater]

It's because companies want someone skilled for cheap

They don't want to train anyone or want anyone with any ramp up time

[willow sedge]

i feel like they dont even want 2023 grads anymore...

[obsidian crater]

They're basically wanting a dev who can build production ready code day 1 for $100k, 5 yoe or more

TBH they can get away with it because mass layoffs

wait this is kuro

[willow sedge]

job hunting is making me depressed af. just got back from vacation ready to apply again and a day later it sucks already oml

[obsidian crater]

I see you have lost your mind

Via JavaScript

https://tenor.com/view/panda-rage-gif-10192107

taking the mern pill

I got a team interview soon

I gotta make it

HM said I basically passed the technical interview

Small company though, I need a big one

true but it involves PHP 🪢

Looks like mostly PHP, JS and some LLM/AI stuff in python

PHP is like Java

Barely anyone claims to love it

But it's everywhere

[pine topaz]

where did u go

real

post travel depresion is the worst thkng ever

makes u question life

[willow sedge]

5 national parks in colorado/utah

[pine topaz]

camping?

[willow sedge]

more so glamping lol got airbnbs

[obsidian crater]

Apparently they use Elasticsearch, Redis, Grafana/Prometheus, MySQL yada yada AWS too

But it's not in the SWE job app, it's in the SRE one

[pine topaz]

hey as long as u enjoyed it 🙂

im on FATFIRE

[obsidian crater]

fake yahkuna

[pine topaz]

50 percent withdrawal rate

[obsidian crater]

real yahkuna can't say anything besides manul, stfu, bitch, and

[pine topaz]

dont forget

[arctic orchid]

I went real camping on the ground this weekend worst experience ever

barely slept

[obsidian crater]

[willow sedge]

i did! it was amazing

sand dunes, black canyon, arches, canyonlands, zion. + a 14er and antleope canyons

[arctic orchid]

Im pretty sure its hard to be cop too entry level

they mostly want you to work in the shitty crime ridden places

[willow sedge]

im kinda getting desperate for a job i may apply to government stuff 😥

[arctic orchid]

The success rate is higher, but their processes move slow cus its government

[obsidian crater]

^

true

[lost ether]

They might overlook weed

[arctic orchid]

They def wont

[lost ether]

Also depends last time u smoked pot

[obsidian crater]

What about edibles

so don't do thc when they drug test

[willow sedge]

hence my problem with the government

[lost ether]

Lol seems dumb, dont they use thc to treat ptsd ...

[obsidian crater]

just like all the olympians who do PEDs but never get caught

[willow sedge]

yeah

[arctic orchid]

having a chill government job with good salary > smoking weed

[willow sedge]

like i’m fine getting tested at the start but i don’t wanna worry about getting tested after

[arctic orchid]

what level of clearance?

noice

[trail tundra]

ive never seen him formulate a proper sentence

[shut thistle]

they/them

[ivory stratus]

is anyone learning anything on the side to make them more marketable?

looking at learning python/pytorch

[brazen cave]

Mm I just made a website portfolio that displays my graphic design, working to implement some personal projects to the site https://des---plaines.com/

I just talked w a recruiter n he said to get more certs and networking is the best way to get an interview. I just started dming recruiters/ people in the industry I have mutuals with on linkedin @ivory stratus

[ivory stratus]

preciate it!

[brazen cave]

That’s weird, just clicked on it @elder forum

Need to fix that issue 😦

oh nice

[rain patio]

This is fire

[narrow harbor]

[tardy geode]

does it look bad on the resume if you have 2 work experiences back to back of 6 months each

?

[south sable]

cool website

[rain patio]

No?

[tardy geode]

you asking or telling

[trail tundra]

He is telling you no, and added a question mark because he is not sure why that would be the case (it looking bad on resume)

[rain patio]

Hello

Are the May 2023s here?

Bros are we fucked ? 😭

Am I the only degenerate here that just smoked weed and went to raves and ended up graduating without an internship?

[static quarry]

Dw about it i did internships and am still jobless

[brazen cave]

nah me too dawg

U can network w bass heads they hella work in tech, add em on linkedin

[sullen hull]

Same. Got a decent experience but no interviews. Its just market conditions, affects everyone

https://tenor.com/view/canticos-not-gonna-make-it-not-going-to-make-it-ngmi-were-not-going-to-make-it-gif-25635049

[light cradle]

most of the 2024 new grad postings require that you graduate somewhere between december 2023 and june 2024. what will happen if someone graduated in may 2023? this requirement is kinda stupid no?

[tardy geode]

also i have been suggested not to used school email on resume

why is that so ?

[pine topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-we-tell-him-mr-krabs-spongebob-meme-spongebob-meme-gif-24063814

[west pagoda]

The answer to most questions about why companies do this and that including ghost, rescind, no returns, layoff, PIP etc is that companies do not really give af about you in any meaningful way.

[solemn spire]

Is this group inactive cuz everyone starting to land a role?

Slowly inactive

[fallen fox]

🪢

[solemn spire]

I need to debug my life

[split igloo]

prob moved over to 2024 grad / got a job / or just gave up 😢

[raw plank]

I realized dooming is pointless and it’s probably just gonna hurt me in the future

If u want I can start dooming again to keep the channel alive

ngmi

Expired

[bold pier]

Guys I cleared technical screen in 11 minutes, first onsite after 5 months

[pine topaz]

goodluck!

[wraith yew]

Still here

Just to suffer

[rain patio]

are these a scam? whenever i see the email domain name isn't just the company's domain name it raises red flags

like you'd rarely see someone at a company with just their first name as their email handle..

[fallen fox]

scam

[cloud zinc]

got rejected by Lockheed Martin and FIS within the same minute

FIS said they rejected my application without looking at my resume. Which is annoying

like we know that you do that, no need to remind me

can't do it

sunken cost

[vital meteor]

No because I don't know what I could do

[cloud zinc]

best I can do is look for gruntwork dev roles like sdet or web dev

[raw plank]

Think about it, if u start minimum wage now you’d make the same amount of money as starting swe in a year society moment

[signal jewel]

bruh... how can these people not be more sussss

[cloud zinc]

wire transfer

this goon is a fossil

There are better ways to present a scam. Nobody says wire transfer outside of old crime movies

[signal jewel]

wtf is salary paid weekly?

[fallen fox]

man people really be accepting "offers" like that

without interviews

🪢

[cloud zinc]

Can't say they're dumb for accepting it because I've almost fell for a couple of job scams myself

must be desperation clouding their eyes

[signal jewel]

was the domain name of the email address correct?

with the email address you could mostly tell if its scam or not

[cloud zinc]

One time I received a "screening process forum" from a construction company for a software engineering role, Almost submitted the forum before an HR manager from the company told me that they never hired such people

the scam was pretty involved too. Like these people made a fake job posting at my university's job board and they even made a fake website that explained the role in more detail. Their site design was practically identical to the real company's website

[halcyon topaz]

Just apply to any job opening

Sometimes the requirements aren’t even that strict

My friend got a new grad job at geico after he graduated like 6 months later

It’s def not over

[raw plank]

Yo if I just start scamming people with fake swe job posts I won’t have to get a swe job myself infinite money

How much does it cost for a LinkedIn job post? Who trying to invest

[signal jewel]

[halcyon topaz]

I mean even neetcode got a job after 2 years of being unemployed

[pine topaz]

mfer quitto do more leetcode

[halcyon topaz]

[halcyon topaz]

I’m taking the GCP cert test soon xd

I will not force my relationship unto you and you are free to take Clydes advice. But, please before you go coop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0azOIk0Kvg

I am always here for you, no matter what happens, we had good times together Coop.

[wraith yew]

almost a 3rd of it is over

and its not looking good so far

[pine topaz]

This is what every rejection letter feels like as an expired good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQwVKr8rCYw

[vital meteor]

[bold pier]

We are only 6 business days in, keep hope

[autumn iris]

theres a lot of master students

that sounds about right tbh

because most people in masters apply to jobs immediately cause its usually after a yr

[abstract wadi]

masters is just like jumping through a hoop after ur BS

[autumn iris]

[autumn iris]

most people who are masters are internationals coming on visa

[abstract wadi]

i think its more commont to do a msc in canada

[solemn spire]

i thought you a full time?

[halcyon topaz]

Lol august had a lot of positions open up wdym

[autumn iris]

theres barely any MSc in canada compared to the US

[abstract wadi]

but all the unis have msc and you need it as a requirement for phd

and its acutally funded

[autumn iris]

theres not many phd programs in canada lmao

[abstract wadi]

U of T McGill UBC if ur from canada ur likely applying to those

[autumn iris]

canada has like 100 schools max, and literally

5 are kinda known

US has over 5k

[abstract wadi]

yeah but US has like 100000 random schools

[autumn iris]

isnt that a biotech company

[rain patio]

Yes

[autumn iris]

yeah

[shut thistle]

does epic systems sponsor?

[vital meteor]

I thought epic made games

[autumn iris]

one of my friends got a job there

last semester

i think he started 90k

[rain patio]

It’s a healthcare company

The one in Madison?

Yup

I’ve heard mixed things abt it

All of the reviews are negative lol

[autumn iris]

all healthcare companies

[rain patio]

Indeed, Glassdoor, etc.

[autumn iris]

have negative comments

[rain patio]

They pay a lot tho

[autumn iris]

if its insurance or healthcare

most reviews are bad

why not move

[rain patio]

I think sacrificing just around 2 years is worth it. Just grind those 2 years and if you want to leave leave.

[rain patio]

Yes I would

If I had no other offers

[willow sedge]

i interviewed with them

thought i did amazing at their oa. got rejected lmao

[rain patio]

We need a SWE union

[bold pier]

Union deez nuts

[raw plank]

Epic is sick

They have a kool aid culture but it’s worth it

Once I get a few years exp I’m reapplying

[halcyon topaz]

Ramses is the 22-23 new grad to recruiters

[pine topaz]

teamsters help us

its joever

[rain patio]

I already got rejected lmao.

But yeah I would

[rain patio]

Same lmao. I solved the questions but I guess I took too long in the timer.

[swift falcon]

i got rejected twice, I kind of glitched the second app tbh

like it says “already applied” but i somehow was able to resubmit or sth

was still too trash ig

[narrow harbor]

Epic's assessment is crazy long

it's like 4 sections of math, logic, coding and i forgot the last section

they give you like 4 hours to take it

[swift falcon]

I didn’t even get that

[narrow harbor]

there initial interview is pretty easy though

their*

they just asked me about a project on my resume and that's it

[rocky yacht]

Half my rave group are bassheads and work in tech lmao

[swift falcon]

so did u get offer or sth?

[narrow harbor]

nope lol

i pretty sure i failed the assessment

i also didnt want to move to madison

they also do this thing with new hires where you have to physically go to like hospitals and shit to observe and learn

so you can make better software from that

the overall healthcare system is so ass in the US so I wouldn't be suprised

[swift falcon]

are you out of state?

[narrow harbor]

yeah in CA, besides not having a career, im pretty happy here with my family, partner, and friends and my current job as a barista is easy and fun sometimes

[swift falcon]

tbh I don’t want to move there either

[narrow harbor]

it's the only thing keeping me sane

i remember when i first got the email from Epic

I was like holy shit i could work for the company who made Fortnite

then i got sad

[raw plank]

dream career

[arctic orchid]

Epic games is such good place to work

my roommate from college is on the fortnite team

[rain patio]

the sad part is that big companies always could afford to pay us big wages, but they'd rather scoop up the profits and give it to all their executives

[pine topaz]

sad

[swift falcon]

SAD!

[willow sedge]

i know one that got a job at riot and has since deserted our rave fam

[bold pier]

[fallen fox]

how long should you wait before reaching out

completed the OA this sunday, recruiter said 1-2 weeks

im really desperate 🔫

[grizzled bronze]

send a follow up daily untiil they reply back to you

[fallen fox]

[willow sedge]

i waited three weeks for my rejection 🤩

[dusky folio]

That’s something I’m doing. The recruiter said she’ll get back to me with the interview details. It’s been 1 week. So I’m emailing her every damn day.

[narrow seal]

i heard some people here been waiting a year with no reply

[dusky folio]

Nope.

I just write a simple message if there’s any updates win my application

It’s bothering me so much

I gotta knowwwww

[grizzled bronze]

you should give it a week between follow ups

[dusky folio]

I’ll wait now for her to get back.

[pine topaz]

Nick white moment

[halcyon topaz]

bro spaming the recruiter

[narrow harbor]

idkkk if i was the recruiter id be like fuck this bitch keeps sending me a message everyday

[halcyon topaz]

do tech stocks being up recently mean good things

[vital meteor]

Not necessarily but we can hope

[lost ether]

Just normal hiring

[jade rain]

when was the last time you guys gave a technical interview?
For me it has been a month..

[narrow harbor]

only a month??? fuuuuuuuu

[fallen fox]

22nd May

[jade rain]

I might become inactive.. no money to pay for the internet..

[dusty basin]

Good. Now you can touch grass

[bold pier]

that also costs money these days

[solemn spire]

bro where are the jobs

[bold pier]

I am still perplexed by Tesla, Apple, and JPMC. Who the fuck are they even interviewing.

[outer radish]

apple just scoops kids with really specific domain knowledge

literally all it is

if you apply to a team with tech that you've directly worked with they'll hire you

[bold pier]

mfs, I will pray my JPMC recuiter gets worms in their cereal everyday !

asked me for interview and ghosted twice

[rain patio]

Apple interview is so rng

I think if u have swift proj u have a chance cause I got hit up by them randomly

[halcyon topaz]

apple has a new grad role?

[lost ether]

What about if you are friends with jim cook

Are they still tying to build the car

[halcyon topaz]

what apple role you apply to

[bold pier]

apple car won't work because they can't make it slower after a year

I love capitalism

[hollow flicker]

guys I have this offer that I am just super unsure on. It requires 30% travel and is all in person. Part of me wants to take it but the work seems pretty limiting in terms of actually gaining skills. Also they test you for drugs and alcohol which is yeahh

And ive only been job searching since early july since thats when Willow Tree told all their new grads that our offers are basically gonezo

[lost ether]

Arent they owned by the same group?

[hollow flicker]

YES

IDK BUT YES

[narrow harbor]

okay so am i getting an interview or nah?

[hollow flicker]

that is what it be saying

[lost ether]

Idk, they do have some joint venture tho, dk what that means

[hollow flicker]

they just say they may test you for metabolites

[lost ether]

Whats ur grad date for the applicatiob u listed

Conduent is the new Meta

[narrow harbor]

dec 2022 lol

im pretty sure they dont accept my grad date too

[lost ether]

All im seeing from that are the start dates are so + so but no 2024 grad date reqs so

[hollow flicker]

i swear dude this company sucks, they want their engineers to travel to customer sites to bugfix shit on site

30% travel is literally dick

[lost ether]

Sounds like consulting

[hollow flicker]

Im just gonna bank on this other place im interviewing at i think cus its going well

it isnt, its working on giant machines

so you go decipher their logs and try to fix the shitty machine from what i gather

while being 100% NOT INEBRIATED

Idk how im even getting interviews, definitely is partially cuz im applying to no-name places but still...lol

[rain patio]

how many follow ups do you think should be enough before youre considered rejected?

[grizzled bronze]

2 to 3, 1 week apart

[rain patio]

thanks

[urban gulch]

U should probably just keep following up until ur actually rejected

[rain patio]

hmmm im afraid of looking too desperate

cos thats what i am ahahah

[grizzled bronze]

Some recruiters will perma ghost

[urban gulch]

U could exponentially backoff ur checkins

[urban gulch]

That’s a good point

[grizzled bronze]

Some recruiters will also keep giving you false hope

[hidden scaffold]

I would apply if mcdonalds didnt ghost me... twice🥲

Ngmi

[grizzled bronze]

try another branch

[rain patio]

All the baddies work at McDonalds in my area.

Tryna rizz them up and lie that I'm an engineer even tho I'm unemployed

[grizzled bronze]

shit happens on portals, don't get your hopes up unless you actually hear anything

[rain patio]

Oof. CA? It's tough out there. I went to a walmart in LA and legit saw at least 10 people shoplifting and not scanning groceries.

Guys, do yall think is IBM god tier? mid tier?

[rain patio]

a level below faang for reputation

Maybe Amazon level

[topaz notch]

still a good tier?

for jumping to a FAANG level?

[rain patio]

yes

[arctic orchid]

IBM produces straight bloat ware

[topaz notch]

sadly, but the project I'm on is realated to storage scalation on the cloud. you think is good? or should i reject the offer?

working on C/C++ and OS things like threads and sockets on C

[rain patio]

ibm quantum team is god tier

deadass

[arctic orchid]

I’m definitely the wrong person to ask but I bet that position is a really good way to pivot to a company like Amazon, snowflake, etc. just cus you’re working on cloud related features

Someone else should chime in with more knowledge on that

[topaz notch]

as well as accelerator, god tier character. ty man 🙂

[topaz notch]

my plan is to jump into companies like Google(Google Cloud would be amazing)/Amazon/Tesla

ty so much guys, really appreciate it!✨

[autumn iris]

how much leetcode have u guys done

[halcyon topaz]

121 problems

[brazen cave]

79 problems total, off and on, trying to get back into it 😀

[split plaza]

380ish

[rain patio]

Cracked

Abt to hit 200 soon

Still feel like a dumbass tho

[kindred latch]

like 25

[autumn iris]

Arent most of u guys graduated though

[kindred latch]

most leetcode problems i do is through oa’s haven’t practiced much lately, grinded a lot in the past tho

[kindred latch]

interning rn

[autumn iris]

[sour epoch]

if i'm not gonna get an oa in the first place then why leetcode? 🤔

[raw plank]

Never made it this far in interview process and haven’t been asked any LC

All those hash maps for nothing

[autumn iris]

[topaz notch]

arround 40, try to practice the 14 leetcode patterns, it'll save you a lot of time and stress 🙂

[rain patio]

Do you have a list in particular you are using?

[autumn iris]

Are u able to do mediums at that point

[autumn iris]

So when we get the OA u can pass it

[topaz notch]

https://neetcode.io/practice do the blind 75, i made 40/75

IMO a good tip if you are starting in lc watch at others solutions, this guy make yt videos about his solutions, start by doing your approach and meassure your times

create an excel sheet and how much you time took you to solve it, youll get better in no time!!

about the 14 patterns there are severals of them like turtoise and hare, dfs, max subarray, etc

[narrow harbor]

lmao yeah i went to safeway a couple days ago and the person in front me used self checkout and just walked out without paying

[topaz notch]

i was on Google SPS Program and made 1yr as FT SWE @ Wikimedia, but I think what really interested the recruiter was that I made a simple compiler in C and made some projects in C/C++ using threads on Linux, actually they made some points on this

my advice is that if your role has to be with unix or C put every single project you have

on my other experience I just had things like: backend with Javascript

so it matter that you've built some projects on your own like school or own projects or even internships, but my advice would be put some 1-week projects with the technologies required for the role

if you are looking for web positions theres a cool web that can help you to create small projects: https://devchallenges.io/

Theres like 1500 apps in a day. Lets say 500 actually applied, there could be 100 more applying directly from company website. Begging recruiter in the dm is the only way

[rich prairie]

good luck

personally im really frustrated that the technology market seems to make hiring basis determinations off of whether or not someone can remember a random classic problem or aglo that, without the pressure of an interview, could typically be implemented in less than an hour by just reusing the same code that was written 5000 times previously

"so this job will make you do really interesting code and has nothing to do with what im about to ask you, please show me bogosort or else no job"

like idk if the industry is just trying extra hard to make selection a pain in the ass in order to make themselves seem more exclusive and there as an achievement

but seriously what a waste of money and time

[lost ether]

They just need filters since there is so much supply; only reason why we have these dsa brain teasers

[rich prairie]

then they should just cap their applications at like 100

and call it a day

[vital meteor]

It would all go to top schools we would have even less of a chance tbh

[rich prairie]

well im complaining because i feel like there's no chance NOW and the process is so convoluted and time consumed that it's just depressing to be stuck in it

[bold pier]

Like Tom Cruise once said "Be the change you want to see in this world"

We need to fight against this system

[rich prairie]

yeah well if I owned a company i'd never allow anyone to spend millions on a service or bunch of interviews that just tests applicants about stupid irrelevant algos

and yes I realize the algos are important in real code, i say irrelevant in the context of "you're never going to have to write that sort algo from scratch with a time limit and your boss watching"

like at least make it a more unique challenge

i hate to reference LC but theres interesting shit there that isnt simplesort or 2sum

[bold pier]

I mean if you choose the right questions algos can help you judge a persons skill. Although it shouldn't be the only criteria to hire a candidate

[rich prairie]

the problem is, for many places it is the only thing, or it is a non-negotiable

[bold pier]

Personally, when I interviewed I choose questions which had atleast 2-3 different solutions which can be worked upon collaboratively taking about trade offs and other things!

[rich prairie]

mhm

b/c otherwise the candidate and interviewer are just gambling

like what if they just dont know that one thing

it's almost as if programming is always done with an open web browser and involves continuous learning

[river thorn]

life is gambling

Choose rich parents

[tiny epoch]

has anyone gotten an OA for JPMC full time roles yet?(February start specifically) i keep seeing all these interns getting them, seems like they do intern stuff first

[rich prairie]

Yeah lemme just go obtain generational wealth likely originally obtained through scheming and shady business practices.

lol

[rich prairie]

i applied to 2024 SOFTWARE ENGINEER PROGRAM – FULL-TIME OPPORTUNITY on the 7th and received my auto rejection this morning

👍🏻

well i never got an OA and the rejection was a boilerplate message so it felt like an auto reject

[sullen hull]

EE Majors...Meta is hiring EE NGs: https://www.metacareers.com/jobs/296600709717310/

[tiny epoch]

damn sorry to hear that. Would be nice to get these letters within a week as opposed to what seems like a full month later

[rich prairie]

its ok it's better than the last place i interviewed in person at

rejected without even an email

found out by checking their application portal

[hollow flicker]

I'm fr considering just accepting this offer for 75k even though the work seems shit

[rich prairie]

honestly hiring culture has just become fucking toxic

i hate to use that overused phrase

but it really is

applicants are treated like machine parts

and we dont even get a email

[hollow flicker]

Yeah it's comically insane

I feel like I did everything right and still got fucked over lol. Had a great offer lined up but because Willow Tree sucks that shit evaporates 6 weeks before my start date

Literally passed on two offers

[rich prairie]

if your current offer is at all SWE related

or industry related

just take it for stabliity

long as it is relavent and resume building

else NO

[hollow flicker]

This is kind of why I'm really unsure on it

[fallen fox]

https://paypal.eightfold.ai/careers?query=R0106014&pid=274895391784&domain=paypal.com&sort_by=relevance

[hollow flicker]

It is a swe role but it's all Machinery related lol

[fallen fox]

paypal ng

[rich prairie]

is it programming factory machines

[hollow flicker]

It's programming vehicle testing machines

And other shit

[rich prairie]

is it PROPRIETARY languages?

[hollow flicker]

No it's cpp

[rich prairie]

pay is shit but go for it

[hollow flicker]

It's heavy travel so I'm just like so non plussed on it

[rich prairie]

its relavent

ohoohhoh

[hollow flicker]

Yeah I might do it

[rich prairie]

uh

damn

yea

TEMPORARY

[hollow flicker]

Yeah it's 30% travel

[rich prairie]

STEPPING STONE

better than what i turned down

i rejected a 60K job at my uni as I graduated

for zoom support

[hollow flicker]

I'm in the process of interviewing at another company that seems WAY better so I'm like fuckk

[rich prairie]

tell them you have a OFFER DEADLINE

[hollow flicker]

It seems like it's going well but you never know

Yeah I will if I don't hear from them today about the final interviews

[rancid owl]

Accepted an offer for 58k at middle of nowhere

[hollow flicker]

id take way lower salary for no travel, legit hate travel.

[rich prairie]

if they are paying for my travel idc

[rancid owl]

They agreed to let me do remote for first few months. So i’m grateful for that

[hollow flicker]

thats sick

[hollow flicker]

i mean obv they are paying but the trips are anywhere from 1-4 weeks

[rich prairie]

company card?

food covered?

[hollow flicker]

Lol yea some

[rich prairie]

yea

[hollow flicker]

not sure how much

[rich prairie]

enjoy your nights bro

expense that uber ride

[rancid owl]

Is it bad to think i can do better and continue applying even after this? How short time is too short to quit later?

[vital meteor]

yes

[hollow flicker]

Im gonna try and drag this out as long as possible, I should hear back from this other company today

[vital meteor]

you can always keep applying

[fallen fox]

take it and keep applying

leetcode at work

[rich prairie]

cry

[raw plank]

unless you live in hcol area thats not even bad

you could live on that for a while, get like a year at least and bail

unless you got like kids or smth

[rich prairie]

my areas COL makes 100K a base livable salary

[boreal marsh]

it would be bad if u stopped applying lmao

[rancid owl]

Its in middle west, rent is like 700-800 for 1 studio. I think its LCOL? I haven’t travelled much in usa

[rich prairie]

i hate the state of the economy

[hollow flicker]

Another thing about this place that sucks is i have to move so I cant really just keep applying

[rich prairie]

lmfao studios where im at are 2-3K EASY

[hollow flicker]

i would rather not move a billion times

[raw plank]

take the offer bro and just relax for a little while tbh

[rich prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/respect-hat-tip-tip-hat-gif-7890251

[raw plank]

job hunt sucks rn, just get some experience and start applying when you're closer to a year at that place

thats my plan anyway if I get this offer

[rancid owl]

Only thing thats bugging me is i have very limited desire to move there. I don’t mind the pay but i will try to ask for fully remote in 2 months and see what they say. Till then i will relax for a bit and keep applying and doing leetcodr

[raw plank]

oh damn I didnt consider relocation

[rich prairie]

if they pay

ill go

[raw plank]

yea that changes things

[swift falcon]

remote?

hmmm

might be worth applying to then, thanks for the heads up!

[willow sedge]

you gotta get the referral before applying according to my friend

yeah but for some companies it can get me to the interview

[ivory stratus]

Guys i have a legit wuestion

Im in a QA Engineer position right now

When would you look at other jobs lol

I just started monday but fuck

[rancid owl]

What do you not like about your current job?

[ivory stratus]

Bro it's QA not swe

I mean i get to develop too but im worried about pigeonholing into QA and that companies wont consider me for SWE roles

[arctic orchid]

Just say youre Software Engineer in test

[ivory stratus]

I just had to take a job though cause ya know

Job market is 💩

[rancid owl]

I think everyone will tell you to keep applying and not quit this job before you bag another one. I’m looking for new job before i have even started mine. I start on monday haha

[ivory stratus]

And it oays $70k so it's not bad

[ivory stratus]

I mean same as me cause i knew this was a job i didnt want to be at long, it just makes decent money and that's it

But im trying to hop to an SWE role asap

[rancid owl]

Just keep applying, and goodluck

[ivory stratus]

Like the good thing is i still get experience in java and MSSQL

LIKE im doing developer stuff too but it's not my job title

[arctic orchid]

You're overthinking it just your a SDET

My buddy did that and transitoned into a SWE role pretty easily

If you're learning and doing stuff on the side you'll have no problem

I think it varies by company

[ivory stratus]

Yeah im basically doing manual testing, no writing code

Im doing dev stuff too on the side, im kind of double tapped but my official role is qa engineer

[swift falcon]

well it’s 2:38PM on wednesday

[ivory stratus]

Like im working still as a dev but it's not my official role lol

[swift falcon]

the day I was told would be when they decide who moves to second round

[shrewd ivy]

Exciting

[swift falcon]

not looking good

[shrewd ivy]

Oh no

[tacit oak]

I hate this job market. Can’t get anything, not even OAs

[brazen cave]

Are u guys using linkedin to apply or how are u applying

[oblique harbor]

Guys, Paypal posted a new grad job listing 2 hours ago. For those who have graduated within last 12 months and those graduating by spring 2024. so all us 2023 grads are covered

[brazen cave]

Love u

[fallen fox]

december 2022 counts, right?

[oblique harbor]

LinkedIn and Indeed. I am also emailing people from previous internships. My parents gave me their friends' emails (those who work in the tech industry) and I am emailing them my resume too.

[oblique harbor]

yes

[fallen fox]

[brazen cave]

Doesn’t hurt to try

[grizzled bronze]

It should, but why would you wanna leave Conduent

[fallen fox]

gonna get resume rejected anyway

🔫

[fallen fox]

[oblique harbor]

from the paypal job posting

[tacit oak]

Hope I don’t get resume rejected from PayPal

[willow sedge]

yoooo i got an oa

[oblique harbor]

yep. also, there are multiple paypal new grad listings for different locations. so don't just apply to one

[willow sedge]

nah lol that would be hella fast haha

[fallen fox]

yes

yes

[oblique harbor]

oh yea i noticed that too

[fresh mango]

what company issit?

[hidden scaffold]

How do companies even resume reject new grad roles? What is there even to reject?? All they have to look at is if you graduated with a comp degree

[bold pier]

guys second round went well, I should get onsite unless they were looking for next Albert Einstein

[fallen fox]

internship exp, school name, etc

[hidden scaffold]

Thats where tech screenings come in

I think if they reject before screening, it will be because of random selection

[oblique harbor]

Major might also be a reason for resume reject. My major is not computer science, but Computational Media (same department as CS), so that might be putting me at a disadvantage even if I have relevant skills and experience. My major is somewhat "related to CS" which meets the requirements of many job postings

[hidden scaffold]

Fair though a lot of bigger companies like paypal don't really put that in their requirements. So wouldn't make sense for them to reject you solely off that as they could have just mentioned this and get a lot less applicants who don't fit this to not apply

[halcyon topaz]

wtff

[halcyon topaz]

well id assume just like the technical inteview the decisions are based off of the other candidates

if you get a lot of candidates with internship exp and good schools it bumps up the competition

so it depends

[vital meteor]

Everyone ex faang

[hidden scaffold]

Yeah but the difference is that technical interviews give you a lot more data on who to hire(and are waay more important in getting the job) than intern exp and school clout, especially for a new grad role. I have heard so many people complain that they went to a top school and have faang type internship exp and still have been looking for a job for over a year

Plus we are not even mentioning the fact that a lot of companies don't even consider internships at all as some think they are not real exp.

[rich prairie]

total BS

once had an HR tell me experience doesnt count unless its paid

for volunteer work i had

unrelated field

[hidden scaffold]

Also not even mentioning the fact that recruiters barely screen resumes. What's the statistic, like most recruiters only spend an average of 5 seconds looking at your resume before they accept you to even begin the hiring process? And that's an average for every type of exp, not just entry

[raw plank]

imagine thinking new grad role means you just need to be a new grad definitely not me before the doom arc

internships and experience are usually best indicators of who will pass those technical/behavioral/cultural tests

[hidden scaffold]

I mean if that's the case, then what's the point for any new grad with no intern exp to ever apply for a new grad role? How do all these new grads with no intern exp even keep getting accepted for new grad/entry roles, even after the layoffs??

[fallen fox]

anyone other than FAANG+ internships = 🪢

might as well not put on your resume

[rich prairie]

badtakeimo

saying experience doesnt count or is pointless just because it didnt come from a "big name" company...

[fallen fox]

tbh no for any NG role paying 100k+ in this economy

you just get instantly filtered

[rich prairie]

if I was intelligent id care more about what they did

but that discounts what the person actually did

[lost ether]

Choose the one from lehman ofc

[rich prairie]

clearly you gotta admit the way that this is being explained is a bad way of doings things

actually caring about their capabilties, accomplishments, and what they did at their previous employment

[raw plank]

Lmfao

[rain patio]

Man this job market is literally Tinder

[raw plank]

Jokes aside bro that’s 100% true and it’s frustrating af and that’s why lots of ppl doom

I have no intern exp and it really feels pointless applying sometimes

[vital meteor]

I switched to grindr and got some matches

[rich prairie]

literally doesnt even exist in my state

i think unpaid intern is outlawed in CA now

well not everyone has the luxury of being able to work for free

no offence

[obsidian crater]

yeah why hire NG in US for 100K when you can hire one in India for 25K

[rich prairie]

quality

ability to communicate

uh

hours

[obsidian crater]

Outside of hours none of those are valid complaints

[rich prairie]

being able to literally talk to them during the day

i guess it depends on experience

ive seen contracters do piss poor jobs

[obsidian crater]

The quality of candidates from top colleges in India is quite good

So FAANG and Quants can hire from those

[rich prairie]

i guess our contracters just sucked XD

[rain patio]

Indian English speakers communicate very well though. And they grind hard af on Leetcode and school

[obsidian crater]

I mean if you're contracting from witch yeah they suck

they are amazing programmers ill give them that

[rain patio]

It's just capitalism bruh

[obsidian crater]

A lot of tech companies pay really good wages... for India

Like FAANG or Quants pay upto 30-50K USD which is basically like making 200k

Either way if the situation gets worse, crime will happen. Cyberpunk Night City is otw.

it's my opinion

New York

[obsidian crater]

I mean most of them are making more like 130k

[rich prairie]

is NYC top?

[obsidian crater]

Not all of them live in NYC

[rich prairie]

nyc 130k is min wage

[obsidian crater]

Some work in NJ, another Boston, another Bay and others remote

[rich prairie]

id rather make 60k and live in a town of 5000

[obsidian crater]

130k isn't min wage in NYC

lol

[rich prairie]

lolwut

[obsidian crater]

average income in nyc is 65k or something

[hidden scaffold]

average rent in nyc is like 2500. You need to make at least 100k just to be comfortable

[obsidian crater]

just don't live in NYC?

[rich prairie]

thats literally my point

[obsidian crater]

live in NJ and take a 20 min train

[rich prairie]

rent not fent

neither, it's partly sarcastic nested in the reality of their horrendous COL

obv 130k is nice and comf living but in the context of NYC / LA / SF, it is not nearly as much as people think it is

[chilly burrow]

I make abt that much and it's def good living lol

[rich prairie]

nice

[chilly burrow]

Like my savings aren't that much

[rich prairie]

and the worst part is COL just keeps rising

[chilly burrow]

(50k ish)

But it's still definitely livable lol

mhm

[chilly burrow]

Yeah @rich prairie what r u even sayin

[rich prairie]

[chilly burrow]

Do u knk wat median income in nyc is

130k is def comfortable living

[rich prairie]

yes, somebody just posted it

i literally

just ack'ed that

[chilly burrow]

Its like 60k

So making 130k is very livable

[rain patio]

Also when we refer NYC. I'm thinking that the job is in Manhattan. And that you have to live relatively close there. Cause if you live in other boroughs the commute time will be too long

[chilly burrow]

*if

Also no guarantees

Depends on stock price and all dat

[bold pier]

130k is 7k in hand per month. 2.5k rent worst case, there's still 4.5k to spend. It's a LOT

[chilly burrow]

Noy that I know of

I'm a new grad

ill surely get black listed

[hollow flicker]

how do you find start ups to apply to guys

[gloomy terrace]

Headhunter reached out

[lost ether]

Check Ycombinator

[hollow flicker]

yeh the main thing is that the gross company is giving me less than a week to decide

[gloomy terrace]

It’s a good backup if nothing else works out

[hollow flicker]

i got the letter saturday and it must be signed tomorrow

so Im probably gonna sign, finish this final interview and if it works reneg? idk dud

the amount of travel at this place is gonna make me rip my dick off if i actually stay lol

[lost ether]

Yeah, u cant do any meaningful with just 1 week into a job anyways

[hollow flicker]

I'd have to move so I'm kinda just undecided asf what to do. I'll figure it out

I swear this would be so sick cuz I've only been searching for a month

[rain patio]

It's kinda funny because it seems like they are doing the reverse of a normal interview process. My first interview was a technical interview, and the second is more of a company fit interview. I have to give a presentation on why I'm a good fit for the job lol

Yeah fr. I think I'll make it to the final on this job but nothing is certain

[rain patio]

[hollow flicker]

Nothing seems off and I havent fucked anything up I think

[rain patio]

They're hiring 6 people for the position, and the first round interviewed 16 people...

[hollow flicker]

Yeah I think the place I'm at is hiring 15 people for various similar positions so fingers fucking crossed for both of us

[rain patio]

The funny thing is that this place is literally by my house lmao

[hollow flicker]

Oh my lord that's sick

I am moving my ass 1 hr away if I get this so not bad

[rain patio]

yeah not bad at all!

[hollow flicker]

Dude I just feel like the first 2 interviews were so light I'm like wtf is taking them multiple days to hit me up about next steps

I'm just being impatient

And I did well on their little oa thing so
