Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well. Was wondering if you guys knew if we can use notes for the final exam?

ask her if she is seeking any new grads with Python skills

Has anyone here used one offer as leverage for other companies?

I have an offer with one company but the salary is not as high as I would have liked. I need to accept the offer by the end of this month. I am currently interviewing with two other companies. (Have recruiter emails for both companies.) From what I've read online, the other two companies will offer higher salaries for new grads.

I want to let both those companies know that I have an offer I need to respond to soon and that I would like to know if they are willing to move forward by the end of this month. Don't need an offer from them, just some verbal/email confirmation that the hiring process is moving forward. That way, I don't start the job at company 1 and then quit 2-3 months in if company 2 and 3 pull through with a better offer later on, effectively burning bridges with company 1.

Are there any downsides to asking the other two companies if they could maybe hurry up a bit and let me know if I'm moving forward or not by the end of this month because I have a pending offer? I don't want to put pressure on them but at the same time I don't want to be stuck with a low salary job at company 1 or burn bridges with company 1.

peak comet
#

downside: they say good luck at your new job and terminate their process

vague dune
#

Yea that's what I'm afraid of. I don't want them to do that.

I'll just follow-up gently and see if the other two companies have any updates for me, without mentioning I have a pending offer and need a response from them soon. I may need to burn bridges with company 1 (a very good company that I would prefer to have a relationship with), but it is what it is. sigh

I also don't want to turn down company 1 without any indication that I could get an offer from company 2 and 3 because the job market is so bad and I don't want to be unemployed as a college grad for much longer.

#

there is a recruiter involved. they haven't brought up if I have competing offers themselves. I'm hesitant to bring up my other offer myself because I don't want my current hiring processes with these companies to be terminated.

I was not given any official timeline, just a ballpark estimate. For one company, I only completed the OA and briefly spoke with someone working at that company. For the other company, I had a first round interview and was told the HM would contact me towards the end of this month or next month to move forward if they like me.

ok weird question:

#

i graduated December 2022

#

tried applying for ~3 months, but uhh got hit with Big Depression

#

just starting to apply to stuff again after doing nothing for like 6 months

#

am i just fucked?

vital meteor

# tawdry snow am i just fucked?

At a disadvantage? yes. fucked? not if you keep applying and frame your resume/cover letter well. I'm not sure if saying you had depression in your cover letter to explain the gap would be a good idea, but if you have some other valid reason that won't raise eyebrows, mention it. Also maybe list some online courses/projects you did in your cover letter so employers don't think you sat idle.

i feel like companies don't look at apps in december at all

Don’t worry about gap, lots of ppl on same boat especially now a days. You’ll be good

just say u had to focus on health or personal reasons if asked but I doubt they’ll even ask

your connection gives you a referal

Yeah since you accepted and it's not an offer, you should definitely not disclose this. This may make you seem flaky when you already accepted an offer and about to start and you are still deciding whether or not to stay with them or go to another company. Their thought process will be, why should we give this guy an offer when we dont know if he will just accept it and bail immediately for another company

# craggy wadi Bloomberg or DRW? (London)

Yesterday I got an offer from Bloomberg, I have 2 weeks to sign, but I want to do it ASAP, 'cause my visa process may take a lot of time. However, just today DRW invited me to the first round, so I'm a little bit confused whether I should sign the Bloomberg offer rn or wait to see how things go with DRW. And what happens if I sign the Bloomberg offer, but later then sign the DRW offer and go there? Are there any legal or other consequences for violating the contract with Bloomberg?

“Because they hire in different countries and have to maintain pay scales” apparently

Does pay of a job affect future job pay and shit?

past hound
#

Yes and no.

fresh mango
#

Why yes tho?

vital meteor
# fresh mango Why yes tho?

There's usually correlation between high pay and resume value so going from faang to faang is easier vs WITCH to faang etc

fresh mango

True

You can absolutely jump from mid companies to top tier companies, but it takes time.

recruiter said they'll get back to by today or early next week, apparently the hm is going to pick who to interview

if it's >24 hours after the screen, is it joever?

shut crescent

#

Cousin works at big-tech says pay is always role based when switching, if you make the cut you make the cut, which is relieving to hear ngl but not sure with the market being so ass

shut crescent
#

i mean it depends on the role but for data engineering it def depends

#

they're going to look at how much data you've been working on and what tools youve been using

#

But if you get the interview I dont think it'll matter then cuz its just going to test ur knowledge on sql and python

#

i honestly think it'll only matter up to you getting the interview or not tbh

Yeah true
