[tardy geode]

how do you guys stay sane in this absurd bs of a market ?

[obsidian crater]

hahahaha that's cute

[halcyon topaz]

Waiting for color to get back too

[obsidian crater]

cute of you to assume I'm sane

[past hound]

Who says I am still sane?

[halcyon topaz]

I got ghosted by databricks I think

[obsidian crater]

well yeah

[tardy geode]

i mean i tried but i am not able to

[obsidian crater]

databricks only hires from top schools

[halcyon topaz]

I went to UCB 😢

[tardy geode]

i have a friend who is from UC Berkeley

[obsidian crater]

UCB is top school

[tardy geode]

even he is looking for jobs

[obsidian crater]

Databricks shouldn't ghost

[halcyon topaz]

Maybe I’ll hear from them

[obsidian crater]

I know a guy from UCB who works for data bricks

[halcyon topaz]

i saw a few people get a phone interview with them a day or two ago

so maybe i hear something

[hollow flicker]

Shmoking weed

[tardy geode]

greenhouse job apps are so much better

[split igloo]

Is 2023 Fall grad considered as 2024 grad?

[obsidian crater]

yes

[fresh mango]

got back to me in a day with a reject for a newgrad role💀

[tacit grove]

At this stage I feel luck plays a huge role in attaining even a recruiter call

[marble flower]

Nah Dec.

[obsidian crater]

graduation date?

[fresh mango]

last month lol

[obsidian crater]

weird

maybe they are done accepting apps

[tacit grove]

What doesn't make logical sense is hiring for 2024 interns have opened up and new-grad roles are opening up at turtle pace

[obsidian crater]

you guys didn't get the auto OA?

[fresh mango]

OA from color?

[obsidian crater]

yes

[narrow harbor]

nah they won't even bother to send a rejection email

[fresh mango]

nope

[narrow harbor]

jkjkjk

[obsidian crater]

cause I got it and haven't heard anything after 100% lol

🪢

[fresh mango]

when did you do the oa?

[obsidian crater]

sunday

[west pagoda]

At what point do you give up asking a recruiter for updates. It's been 7 weeks since onsite and ~3 weeks ago the recruiter said the manager was still interviewing (even tho onsite feedback was strong) 😦 I don't want to be attached but with how little is out there, it's damn hard not to be.

[fresh mango]

very not colorful of them

[fallen fox]

it's semi-auto

a bunch of us got the oa @ the same time on friday

[obsidian crater]

yeah I got mine on friday or something

did it on sunday

[fresh mango]

yeah I applied yesterday

[south sable]

i need motivation from may 2022 grads

please share your success stories

[grizzled bronze]

Since it's been 3 weeks, follow up again

Keep expectations low and apply to other jobs in the meantime

[fallen fox]

should you put an it support job on your resume to fill a 8 month gap?

[swift falcon]

it's over

[marsh grail]

Recruiter call ended in 2 mins because she saw that i graduated in may 2023 and they were hiring for june 2024 starts 💀

[swift falcon]

it's 1:24 PM on wednesday, a week after I was supposed to find out if I was moving to second round, and 2 days after I sent out a follow up to the hiring manager

[rain patio]

Why not?

[west pagoda]

This feels so damn sad to do tho loll

[marsh grail]

Stubhub

[rain patio]

U got hit up already?

[grizzled bronze]

2 minute reject

[south sable]

tbh, that's not much different than the autorejects the ats gives

[marsh grail]

I applied like a week ago through uni portal

[fallen fox]

recruiters might think why i'm working it support or why i'm looking to job hop after only a few months

[hollow flicker]

These ghosting fucks

[marsh grail]

Nah

[cold pawn]

bruh why should she look at the resume after scheduling a call

[grizzled bronze]

they will understand, they know the market sucks and they're gonna still be impressed with Conduent and your past internships

[marsh grail]

No clue, i even passed codesignal

Waste of time

[languid pond]

some straight up dont look at resumes

[rain patio]

8 month not bad imo just be like it didn’t align with career goals or something

[marsh grail]

Codesignal, no GCA

[fallen fox]

[signal jewel]

bro how tf you got phone already. apps literally came out yesterday 😭

[marsh grail]

And recruiter said they might have position opening up end of year and she’ll talk to hm but i doubt it

[cold pawn]

how long does GCA score last and doesn't need to be retaken?

[marsh grail]

No MIT, my uni had it since like two weeks ago

I mass applied and forgot about it

[grizzled bronze]

The apps launched at least a week or two ago on Handshake for their target unis

[cold pawn]

no jpmc?

[split plaza]

ngl none of yall are getting databricks, if you had a chance you wouldn't be in this server

[cold pawn]

bro I wanna switch from SWE to sugar trader

[narrow harbor]

so if i leave this server right now does that mean ill have a chance?

[hollow flicker]

What about option a + b - cracked

[hollow flicker]

Yes when Ieft last year I got an offe

It's true

[rain patio]

Damn

[hollow flicker]

I just have no social life

[unique topaz]

which company?

[signal jewel]

stubhub ig

[wet jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/that-is-the-stupidest-thing-i-have-ever-heard-david-rose-david-dan-levy-schitts-creek-gif-20768394

[swift falcon]

stupid but true

😔

[wet jacinth]

[grizzled bronze]

I'm not targeting Databricks, even some of the top people in this server already got rejected for their new grad role

[split plaza]

the only dude I know who got DB had a 4.0 at a CS T3 + 3x FAANG

[swift falcon]

and specifically, he was not of this server

[split plaza]

ah that too

[spring hazel]

what is color OA like?

[obsidian crater]

apis

[fallen fox]

colors gonna ghost

[grizzled bronze]

I'm confident at least one person on this server will get Databricks

[fallen fox]

they have like 2500 perfect oas to chose from

[hollow flicker]

wtf is the "implementation" section on the algos page of hacker rank

[cold pawn]

colors is a health company don't go you will regret it

[hollow flicker]

why tho

[obsidian crater]

imagine being picky in this market

[neon perch]

Just got stood up for a recruiter call

Fk man 🥲

[swift falcon]

oh you got an offer?

[cold pawn]

I'm currently doing an internship at one of the biggest health companies in US for 3 month now and I'm literally dying of boredom
I lost 99% of my motivation for coding and productivity

[hollow flicker]

id kinda not hate that

also i worked at a health insurance place and it wasnt boring, iguess thats health adjacent

[grizzled bronze]

Not me, someone here will

[hollow flicker]

I would just grind LC and job apps

[cold pawn]

my company is health insurance too

[hollow flicker]

its just gonna be company by company man

i got tons of great exper at my internship there and lots of exposure to shit

but ofc other places gonna suck sometimes

[cold pawn]

I got a lot of experience but work is too boring and culture and communication is depressing

[hollow flicker]

dang that sucks, i was super tight with all my coworkers

it was a small company

thats been operating for like 30 years so pretty tight knit

[cold pawn]

I am working remote and my coworkers also work remote a continent away

[hollow flicker]

I think it being captive insurance made it a bit more interesting as well

oh yeah we were in person like 2-3 a week

id hate pure remote personally

[rain patio]

Some places ask for implementation question if that is what it is referring to

[willow sedge]

same

[hollow flicker]

I like a lil remote for when im trying to bust something out that i dont need anyone on

but otherwise im an in person kinda guy

[hollow flicker]

is that what you mean

i wonder if gipity is even correct

[rain patio]

No

[hollow flicker]

https://www.hackerrank.com/challenges/magic-square-forming/problem?isFullScreen=true

this is an implementation one

i think its just fucked up problem statements lolol

literally every one of these ive done has been annoying and not fun

just lame solutions

no pattern

[ornate cliff]

Bro why is hackerrank so bad

I've been doing the interview prep and there is no rhyme or reason

[hollow flicker]

It makes me fucking angry

[cold pawn]

Hackerrank makes LC easy problems sound harder by adding a few paragraphs of unnecessary extra wording

[hollow flicker]

some of these ones are just harder than LC easies imo

[ornate cliff]

They probably think they're so funny that every problem is indexed starting at 1

[hollow flicker]

really funny

[rain patio]

Not worth doing hackerrank imo

it’s faster if u recognize the pattern by doing lc

[cold pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/jonah-jameson-mouth-gif-24811570

[ornate cliff]

I'm trying to practice before I do this stupid OA

[hollow flicker]

tell me this is not annoying as shit to read https://www.hackerrank.com/challenges/kangaroo/problem?isFullScreen=true

[ornate cliff]

Which is on hackerrank

[hollow flicker]

Same dude

[ornate cliff]

Goldman?

[past hound]

practicing for cisco atm

[hollow flicker]

no, no name

[ornate cliff]

Oh kk

Frick

[hollow flicker]

also like dude, there are no LC "patterns" in some. of these

they are just number bullshit sometimes

[rain patio]

90% there is a pattern

[cold pawn]

Goldman NG problems were much easier for me than their internship problems from last year
but maybe that's just because I am more prepared

[rain patio]

10% it is greedy algo

[halcyon topaz]

I literally got asked fizzbuzz on the Cisco oa

[rain patio]

Are u serious 💀

[halcyon topaz]

Ya like not different at all

[rain patio]

Lmfaoooo

[cold pawn]

me too

[hollow flicker]

whats the pattern to the Kangaroo question

[rain patio]

Is this SWE 1 or 2?

[rain patio]

Idfk im talking about hackerrank OA’s

[mortal quartz]

Can anyone share TikTok referral code? Thanks in advance

[hollow flicker]

okok

daddy chill

[halcyon topaz]

It’s for swe 2

[ornate cliff]

What should I practice? I'm bad at trees or DP

[rain patio]

Delete this bro before soulkks sees

[hollow flicker]

what the fuck dude no way thats insane

[rain patio]

SWE 2 was easy for me too

[halcyon topaz]

Who’s soulkks

[rain patio]

I haven’t done SWE 1

[halcyon topaz]

It was swe 2

[rain patio]

Mod

[ornate cliff]

I got asked that during onsite... I literally asked to skip the question cuz it's ez LMAO

[hollow flicker]

yeah dude wtf?

[halcyon topaz]

For Cisco?

[hollow flicker]

fizzbuzzzzzz

[ornate cliff]

Yeah cisco

[halcyon topaz]

What happened

[ornate cliff]

But it was the Calgary office.... Small team not really trying

Super chill

[halcyon topaz]

Bro that sucks

Wtf

[hollow flicker]

@ornate cliff

do this kangaroo

problem

[cold pawn]

practice both dp and trees
on leetcode
leetcode is straight to the point most of the time so if you master the basics you could apply them anywhere

[hollow flicker]

its so dumb

[halcyon topaz]

Is the Cisco on-site/phone as easy as the OA?

[ornate cliff]

Pls my brain is about to hemorrhage

[ornate cliff]

Did Goldman ask you dp? Gg for me LMAO

[hollow flicker]

please

[cold pawn]

no lol I got 2 easy hashmap/hashset questions

[ornate cliff]

Oh kk phew

[cold pawn]

did the OA in 20 min

[ornate cliff]

DM link I'ma do it before OA 🤣🤣

[halcyon topaz]

What kind of questions did they ask you

[cold pawn]

they asked him 5-D dp

I got longest palindrome lol

[halcyon topaz]

Wtf

[cold pawn]

longest palindrome is easy tho

was it really dp?

[ornate cliff]

How do you do longest palindrome again?

[halcyon topaz]

Is the longest palindrom the one where you start from the letter and go outwards

That sucks tho

I can’t believe. They asked me fizzbuzz

[cold pawn]

how did you solve it

[halcyon topaz]

Made a harshet of every number between 1 and 2^64 and then calculated if it was divisible by 3 5 and 3 and 5 by using a while num!=1 loop

[past hound]

I hope I get that

It is annoying how it is rng for problems

[halcyon topaz]

Ya Literslly

Bobs sounds terrible

[cold pawn]

why do you need a hashset tho and every number up to 2^64

[halcyon topaz]

I’m joking

I just did the most basic solution

[fallen fox]

https://www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/comments/15syr4n/is_algorithms_worth_it/

how do you go through an MSCS program at an ivy without know anything about ds&a?

[cold pawn]

you pay extra bucks

[swift falcon]

do you guys know FIS

is it a competitive company?

I get rejected every time I apply

[hollow flicker]

Wt duh fuc

[raw plank]

I think they said their undergrad was a different program

[hollow flicker]

Still confused at how you don't know of DSA in year 1

[raw plank]

The real question is how do you get accepted into CS ms program without doing cs undergrad

[hollow flicker]

Oh I know how

Shit school

Oh wait they said ivy

Confused

[fallen fox]

from op's post history: dartmouth

[chilly burrow]

I've heard of another ivy where you just need a 3.5gpa to be considered

[pseudo wagon]

have you guys done system design interviews? how was it?

[lost ether]

Brown?

[chilly burrow]

It ended with D

And is in California I think

[dusky folio]

They are usually easy. It’s just that you gotta come up with a solution to the question fast.

[chilly burrow]

Idk I'm not American

It's supposedly easy to get in tho, as the person I was talking to said a lot of bio students do

Oh it's not?

Mb

I thot it was lol

I c

I won't rmbr dat

But tanks 😃👍

[solemn kite]

it's only ivy if it's from the northeast

otherwise it's just sparkling university

[chilly burrow]

I'm Canadian

Idk what the north east even entails

[solemn kite]

power move

i would think stanford is hard to get into

[halcyon topaz]

nope

why do you ask

not sure

i applied to berkeley with a 3.95 and got in but it was for the masters of engineernig program

[cold pawn]

2000 sat score
and a lot of money
and be a super good at sports

[arctic orchid]

I think its for undergrad

to get into stanford for undergrad

not for masters

[rain patio]

lol the SAT is back to being out of 2400? I took it when it was out of 1600

[south sable]

Can anyone share a template they've used to get referrals when messaging randos on LinkedIn?

[autumn iris]

u dont

on-campus MSCS is very competitive to get into, unless its a cash grab uni

if ur bachelor was engineering related, then maybe

[arctic orchid]

You can def get in if you did Math or engineering

they do require prior courses normally tho that only CS kids take

[pine topaz]

@rain patio how was itnerview

[rain patio]

Heading to it right now lol

[pine topaz]

goodluck

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-gif-26388528

[tardy geode]

browsed through like 40 pages of Jobs ( filters : united states , past 24 hours , software engineer) . applied to only like 10-15 positions

as there's fuckton of senior (5+ ) and staff positions

my eyes pain

[obsidian crater]

yup

[tardy geode]

40 pages would be roughly around 7k postings in the past 24 hours

then i feel i should put more time into prep rather than just browsing for jobs

[neon perch]

No way 💀

[obsidian crater]

LOL

[cold pawn]

I was searching for jobs a week ago and saw one SWE job which required "Being able to speak fluently in Python"

[earnest summit]

😭

[split plaza]

LMAO

[abstract solstice]

bruh how long did that take

[grizzled bronze]

Salesforce is out for any current/former interns https://salesforce.wd12.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External_Career_Site/details/Software-Engineering-AMTS_JR211261

[cold pawn]

This role is only open to those who are current or prior Salesforce Untapped Talent interns. All others who do not meet this criteria will not be considered.

Which company

[marble flower]

[rain patio]

[obsidian crater]

[rain patio]

yeah fr i'm a loser lol

[marble flower]

Nah, lc easy

People got fizzbuzz?

[rain patio]

moral of the story is apply at local defense companies lol

[grizzled bronze]

chances are good

[rain patio]

They had me write a function that outputs if a string is a palindrome lmao

[obsidian crater]

[pine topaz]

so is palindrome ?

two pointers

[rain patio]

[pine topaz]

ggbez

[marble flower]

Did you laugh

[pine topaz]

NICE

WGMI

[rain patio]

no, but I was very relieved lol

i'm not that great at leetcode

[halcyon topaz]

I got it

[marble flower]

LOL wtf

[halcyon topaz]

I know

[rain patio]

Oh yeah they finally told me how much the position pays

I was worried it would be a low paid position, but they said it's between $60k and $70k for entry level + a 14.2% pension on top of that

i didn't know pension was still a thing lol

[swift falcon]

bro isn’t the palindrome question what you got for screen!???

[rain patio]

yep

LMAO

[swift falcon]

damn

gods be praised

I’m rooting for you

[rain patio]

thanks! I hope I get the offer lol

at least I still can work in IT if this doesn't work out

[grizzled bronze]

Defense company right?

[rain patio]

yep!

It right by my house too lol

found out about it on google maps

[bold pier]

Bruh how you find jobs on Google maps, I just see 3 Dunkin outlets

[rain patio]

idk lmao

I was looking around for businesses that may have need for software developers

saw that there's a governmant laboratory place right by my house

went to their website, and they were hiring 1 entry level software developer

but this was back in March lol

[bold pier]

Legend

[rain patio]

I emailed them my application, and they responded a week later and told me that the position was filled, so I thought it was a dead end. 4 months later, I get an email asking if I would like to interview with them for another position lol

I guess I got lucky or something because it sounds like they recently have need for a lot more software engineers, and my application must have been floating around somewhere in their database and they picked me to interview

[halcyon topaz]

6 months

[lost ether]

Can you use wayback machine to apply to old posting

[halcyon topaz]

ya

[vital meteor]

Maybe because they are gonna be dropping the actual ng post

[halcyon topaz]

That would be nice

Maybe they’re just hiring super slow now and just wanted to cut it at a small number of applicants

To start reviewing

[vital meteor]

[obsidian crater]

[halcyon topaz]

[swift falcon]

i need a 80/20 mix copium hopium stat

[vital meteor]

[halcyon topaz]

[vital meteor]

holy fuck @halcyon topaz @elder forum i just realized i never actually applied i just talked to my recruiter about it

[halcyon topaz]

its joever

[vital meteor]

it was a test run

the real posting is coming

[rain patio]

anyone hear back from epic systems

[pallid kernel]

i feel like im going insane

anyone else

idk how much longer i can take this

call me weak or something but my resolve is weakening

i just want an OA

im not even asking for any interviews

like wtf am i leetcoding for at this point

[vapid oasis]

R u still an undergrad

[pallid kernel]

no i graduated in may

[static quarry]

i feel you

im getting oas but only trading firms

and they are ridiculously hard

expired goods

[vapid oasis]

Did you try for Roblox oa

I think everyone gets it

[past hound]

I mean, you get a perfect on the OA, and still get rejected.

without interview

[vapid oasis]

That’s true

But the person just wanted an oa

Also did anyone here get an interview with Roblox

Cuz I Wna know what the hell am I missing

[hollow flicker]

WHAT lol

[swift falcon]

heart and soul

[past hound]

Going off the pronouns, girl.

[vapid oasis]

Changed it. My mistake

[vapid oasis]

Yeah probably. I feel like people who competitively programmed would have easily passed the oa.

Also 50 mins

Is kind of crazy

Or probably I’m just not good enough

[gleaming sky]

same boat LOL I dunno how much hope to have

[cinder valley]

I got a Splunk recruiter reaching out me to schedule interviews yesterday morning. And he's been ghosting me after I provided him my availabilities (which is basically everyday). What did I do wrong 🪢

[lost ether]

Should made yourself available at late times to imply u have a job

[west pagoda]

I do have a job and idk if it’s helping at all LOL

[lost ether]

Damn its rough out here

[west pagoda]

My FT job is also a step down from my last internship so I wonder if it’s harming me actually

[cold pawn]

you assumed the interviewer is perfect

[cinder valley]

TBH should've ghosted him. Maybe that's how the system works now

[pallid kernel]

maybe its the fact that i only have a math dgeree

but i have previous internships with dev experience

are companies only looking at people with cs degrees nowadays

[cold pawn]

they look for your flaws and reject you based on them
if you are perfect you have 50% of getting rejected and 30% of moving forward

[vital meteor]

[hidden scaffold]

does anyone know the start date for the cisco early career position(i,e 2023 or 2024)?

[rain patio]

Math is still solid

Do you have a cs minor?

[swift falcon]

and 20% chance of spontaneously exploding

[fallen fox]

can i get an email like this again

[pine topaz]

good old times when faang recruiters email you / linked in you

[cold pawn]

[pine topaz]

you never know what you ahd till its gone

[rain patio]

[whole berry]

[hollow flicker]

I'd move to Ottawa tbh

[whole berry]

but back in march i didnt take it

[pallid kernel]

im canada too

[whole berry]

because i thought it was too lowball

[hollow flicker]

Damn bro you're resilient

[whole berry]

i suck at timing the market

[hollow flicker]

You applied from Sept to March and didn't go for the low ball

Actual chad

[chilly burrow]

80k in Kanata is good tho?

[whole berry]

got rejected recently for a job paying 65k cad, their excuse? someone with more yoe was a better fit

[chilly burrow]

Like that's 100k in Toronto

[hollow flicker]

Yeah that's how it goes

Don't make him sad he knows he could taken it

[chilly burrow]

Tru

[whole berry]

i had mixed reviews when i mentioned it in here march

[chilly burrow]

Hindiste is 20/20

[whole berry]

yeah

[hollow flicker]

Don't listen to people here listen to your heart

[whole berry]

hindsight needs to be goated

[cold pawn]

bruh
this got me goosebumps
what's the point of grinding Leetcode when you're gonna be stolen by aliens eventually...

[whole berry]

i honestly thought id be depressed in kanata but tbh im depresser now

[ornate cliff]

i'll take 40k in Whitehorse

[hollow flicker]

Isn't it insane?

I've never seen a vid like that

[wet jacinth]

his heart is dum as hell

[chilly burrow]

No csmajor is at risk of alien abduction 🙏

[wet jacinth]

[cold pawn]

@hollow flicker I didn't believe in aliens until your video has convinced me that aliens are real
now I don't feel like worrying about job hunt is worth it when you got stuff like this going on

[whole berry]

it was partly parents that were like nah bro thats too little

i gave into their thought process

[hollow flicker]

Oh that's mad understandable

No hate btw I get it shits fuckin confusing and hard to know

[whole berry]

yes no hate

i understand

i kick myself now thinking i shouldve taken it

[hollow flicker]

Yep dude seeing the sat next to the thermal

[whole berry]

it was swe in their networks team

[hollow flicker]

Is like mind bending

[cold pawn]

guys I found out why so many people get ghosted by companies
it's not that the people ghost the applicants, it's that the aliens abduct the recruiters
jk

[hollow flicker]

Duuude

That woulda been insane

You def will

[whole berry]

The company would be like No

[willow sedge]

i got anxiety so idk if i technically should

[hollow flicker]

Allegedly it's the Malaysian flight

[pallid kernel]

[hollow flicker]

Also the US has satellites across the entire globe so allegedly

[rain patio]

Do not select yes for disability

[pallid kernel]

i was diagnosed with depression in the past

[hollow flicker]

Paying alone

[past hound]

Cisco SWE I was a absolute joke compared to the other OAs I have taken.

It only took a few minutes to do each problem

[willow sedge]

what level leetcode would you say?

[past hound]

I had tons of time left over

Like a hour

[burnt orchid]

ive been doing these citadel questions from the leetcode bot, this stuff is tuff

[past hound]

Two easys and 1 easy medium.

^

We probably the same one

Legit joke

[willow sedge]

i honestly just hate dp questions

because if you cant get the base case ur fked

[solemn spire]

They come up with skits so fast

[past hound]

This how all OAs should be...can you do basic coding and not can you solve our random LC hards in record time.

[willow sedge]

i got three oas to take so ima do one everyday for the next three days lmao

[past hound]

Even if it turns into no interview, this was such a cake walk that I don't feel like I wasted my time

[tall path]

Is the September job wave legit?

[bold pier]

dont worry guys, watch me fail test cases in this also

[past hound]

If you get the same problems, there is no way.

Unless you have a panic attack

[bold pier]

if that's what it takes

[past hound]

I could have done these problems as a college freshman.

[bold pier]

lmao I actually didn't even apply for the role yet

[hollow flicker]

I CANT WAIT TO TAKE IT

[rain patio]

It’s rng be wary

mine were not this ez

[willow sedge]

to be fair some college freshman cant figureout how to use an if statement ...

[hollow flicker]

Ik

[vital meteor]

someone earlier said they got 2 dp

[rain patio]

2 med 1 ez perhaps

[willow sedge]

haha

[hollow flicker]

[bold pier]

looks like question bank was curated by a b-school grad

[past hound]

I was more thinking second semester freshman

By then, you have at least one CS programming class under your belt at my university

[rain patio]

u guys both took SWE 1 right?

Oh

[bold pier]

and it was easy?

send application link pls

[hollow flicker]

Wat

[rain patio]

Bro got 2sum and 2sum 2 input array is sorted

[bold pier]

2sum and reverse string bet

[hollow flicker]

That's insane they were straight from LC

[past hound]

No joke

[hollow flicker]

I'm taking that tomorrow

[bold pier]

you guys won't believe it Spotify asks 2sum in their onsite lmao

[hollow flicker]

You are kidding

Yeah

[past hound]

that is the dream

[bold pier]

I opened their tagged questions and literally all of them were easy and meds

[hollow flicker]

Did I miss the Spotify apps

[rain patio]

Ng not open

[past hound]

The other thing I will mention is there system is buggy as hell

[bold pier]

lol it's for exp role

[rain patio]

Rly?

[past hound]

It was for me

[hollow flicker]

The applications themselves were buggy too

[rain patio]

Oh ur talking about Cisco?

[bold pier]

which system?

[hollow flicker]

Yea

Cisco

[rain patio]

I thought u were talking about Spotify process lol

[past hound]

Test cases would show I got the correct output, but mark it wrong. When I reran the test again, it would pass.

[bold pier]

yeah, yet there was a guy complaining about not having any work to do at cisco yeterday lmao

[past hound]

I could have done the problems even faster, but I legit reran the tests multiple tests just to make sure it was working fine with all test cases passing.

Because it would just always fail on the first attempt with that bug

[bold pier]

it's not a bug, it's a feature which makes sure you recheck your output

[past hound]

Ah yes, the bug is a feature

I wish they sent a confirmation

I saw the confirmation on the page, but I always like to make sure everything went through

something something I like confirmation because of my general anxieties about testing

[halcyon topaz]

its joever

[halcyon topaz]

jesus thats hella high

[bold pier]

Damn, I missed by .02

Wait, Bob you a grad or undergrad?

Yeah that's tough

[halcyon topaz]

LLNL still shows my application as new

how long it take for them to get back to you

damn probably ghosted me then

ya thats a lot

just gotta keep huffin away

[jade seal]

I have the gpa but cant get jobs with it anyways

ya

[past hound]

I have a 3.92, and no offers, and no interviews in a long time.

[jade seal]

holy shit applying right the fuck now

[topaz notch]

Hey guys, I have two offers: 1 at IBM and 1 at Oracle, on the IBM offer I'll be working on Storage-scalation team focused on IBM Cloud, working with C/C++, on the other hand, on Oracle I'll be working on the Oracle Linux team, designing and developing the Oracle Linux distro, also working with C/C++. What offer should I choose if I want to jump into a FAANG level? Is IBM or Oracle prestige god tier?

[past hound]

A bad GPA can screw you, but a good GPA doesn't help that much unless it is a small company. At least, that is what I am guessing.

[past hound]

Oracle sounds cooler, but IBM sounds like it will get you more jobs in the future (everyone loves cloud shit).

[topaz notch]

in terms of company prestige, which is better Oracle or IBM?

[past hound]

Idk
