Sure maybe more stable than Coinbase but super stressful job in general
And yep the TC sucks
All cash which could be good ig
From all the stuff I read online. It is heavy. But if you get a chill team then it's normal. So join work for a year. Get that bag.
I’m an hourly contract worker and don’t get paid overtime
Like rn I’m in a zoom call at 9:20 pm fixing some big error
Not getting paid extra for this lmao
The one really good thing is the name opened a lot of doors for me
Yeah I’m analyst level
The bottom of the bucket lol
So the associates and VPs can boss me around
Yeah tech is kind of 2nd class citizens here tbh
Bunch of legacy code too
And proprietary languages/databases
From the 80s
It’s called Slang, Securities Language, and it’s basically based off C
It’s the most whack language ever
Not a transferable skill at all so yeah big L
Lol why funny
It does impress the common person tbf so at least there’s that 
They all think I’m making bank
Yeah well def above avg
Anyway I got 3 weeks left and I’m leaving out
Can’t wait
Both, I got Bloomberg offer
nice
Way better TC and wlb, I was like cya Goldman
Yeah all cash
And nyc sounds fun
No, Utah lol
Salt Lake City office
It’s newer
Good thing is I save a lot of money but it’s boring af here
One of the best places to be if you’re young imo. And I’m interested in finance more than tech so there’s a bunch of opportunities there for me
All cash comp hit different ngl
How do you get paid all cash? Like no sign on/stocks just base?
Yeah, base + target bonus + relocation + sometimes sign-on
Base is also usually higher
thoughts on Gem?
pre ipo r scam rn
Has anyone given Amazon new grad 2023 OA?
Yea me
@plush isle imagine searching for jobs
When did you get the OA?
Why is there not a process tracking sheet for 2023 Grads
Today and applies few days ago
Cant relate to u bro im not done my project 😓
Bro I’m just too nervous to start job searching 😅
Honestly I'd agree with you but I keep tech for a LOOONG time. I still have and use my PS2, my current laptop is a macbook from 2012 and I use an Iphone X that I bought in 2018. I'm gonna keep this build for probably upwards of 5+ years so I think it's a worthwhile investment.
I don't do animation but I make music, play games, code etc so it'd be nice to have a strong device for everything 
this. real programmers write code on their PS2
u aint written code yet until you try writing code with the shitty console keyboard using ur controller
I mean the great thing with a pc build is when you start getting outdated you just upgrade the hardware not the whole pc lol
oh shit ._. I haven't got mine wth?
what's the problem with using Python for citadel OA?
has anyone done cisco fullstack SHL assessment challenge?
Anyone interviewed with renaissance tech for their Cpp dev position?
What can I expect for the first round phone screen
you mean research infrastructure programmer?
i had phone couple of weeksago
Yeah
Has anybody gotten Amazon OA yet?
for new grad 2023?
When did you apply?
woah..its been 3 weeks for me still haven't heard anything
yeah same for me but it’s fine they send out in batches
yest was first batch
did u get phone?
i took cit oa in python this morning. it went well, but I don't know cpp. can i learn it in a few days 
Hopefully I finally get an amazon OA 🤞
When’s you apply Amazon?
july 2nd
My Amazon application turned to “no longer under consideration” as soon as I applied. Anyone knows why?
auto filter?
Anybody gave Cisco Full Stack Engineer OA?
Why is there no 2023 posting and process yet?
I think kirb said its coming in early aug
they have to set up stuff server side to get it working is all
ohh I see, Thanks Rico
ah i see got it
was wondering how long after the oa we can expect to hear back lol
also guys quick q
on amazonuniversity it says application submitted
but on amazon.jobs it says this:
is this normal lol
which role?
I had this too but I just replied with another email
Yeah that is normal
Same here. I applied on jun 24, and heard nothing too
oops I must've been confusing it wit msft canada
Has anyone here given an interview for Quant Dev at Akuna? I'd love to know what kind of questions to expect, especially in the first phone round
bumping this for anyone that missed it ☝️
Can I dm you?
what’s takin them so long now😡
yessir
python
how was the process? when did you apply?
Is my application for one position in a company independent from another application for a different role within the same company? Ex: SWE at company X and different SWE position at company X
wait dev or quant?
quants aren't devs, they're traders I thought
hence no coding test
Quantitative Developer is a well known role. They combine the math of quant researchers with code implementations. I suppose they're the code optimization side of quantitative development process, while researchers do pure math. Finally, engineers are for adjacent functions or scaling or ops
What I wanna know is what role did Neetcode apply to for Google. Since he was unemployed for 2 years
That's like past new grad period I think
But not enough exp for early career
There’s quant trader, quant researcher, and quant dev
ohhhh okay
gotcha thanks guys
yeah it came out on the 16th I believe...don't know why there is a delay this year
most companies wont rescind offers if you negotiate
however, if u dont have any other offers, it might be hard to negotiate.
Did 2 sigma close or is it campus hire Houston
What’d you get on codesig?
Idt New York has opened yet
Really?
I'm not too sure with this economy
well, if they'll rescind offers if you negotiate with them, i wouldn't want to work for them anyways
True enough
the economy doesnt change much other than less jobs on hand. the thing with negotiating is that they've already spent too much resources on you. they'd rather have you than not
interviews are rather expensive
Mayb ur right
I think I'm just kinda spooked by the economy and all
i mean why not ask?
just word it in a way that u dont sound like an asshole
negotiating is common for ft jobs. it's expected. unless the company has a strict no-negotiating policy, then it is expected that u negotiate
Gonna repost in the 22 grad one
Yeah I was thinking of just leveraging my good performance review and the impact my project had.
What are your goals for professional development? How will getting this job help you advance toward your professional goals?
How do i answer this question?
I just say something like: this company has a great engineering culture that will benefit my development as a software engineer. Additionally the scale and complexities that this company works at/with would expose me to new challenges that I can learn from.
If a company rescinds offer bc of nego then it’s a shit company
Ya I agree
Regardless of economic conditions, worst case companies would say no, but they won’t rescind
I just thot dat it may b higher risk cuz of economy
Well they’ll be hiring less ppl too
Might have less nego room but nothing more than that, I’d say
How many years of experience transitioning systems from prototype stage to production-quality designing and building frameworks?
Bro wtf they asking this question for new grad
should i just say zero
or should i bull shit?
Lol what company is this
toyota lmao
- What types of things were you responsible for doing at your last job?
- Briefly share your working knowledge with modern C++ programming, Bash and Python scripting?
- How many years of experience transitioning systems from prototype stage to production-quality designing and building frameworks?
- What knowledge or understanding of ROS, vehicle autonomy stack?
- What is your “Superpower”?
I wouldn’t outright lie but I would spin it in a way that still sounds positive
someone please help me to write some bullshit to these questions
Say “my superpower is answering these bullshit ass questions without burning down the nearest Toyota dealership”
car manufacturers are so up their own ass with swe roles I swear man
the only one with realistic expectations for new grad swes that I saw was GM
and they pay shit too GM only pays like 60 for some entry level swe roles
toyota ain't much better at all lol
nice you got one of the good offers 
Cuz u move to a town nearby
a couple friends of mine got GM offers and 1 was 60k flat in texas
yeah but i dont want to leave recruiter on "Seen"
the other was 65k in michigan
Hey I’m sure their interview selection works seeing how almost every piece of car related software I’ve seen has been slow, buggy and shitty

That’s why I’m saying flint water
Does amazon send out oa every week?
770 from last yr so they moved me to final
citadel application down for anyone else?
yeah its down for me too
not bad its an oa and then phone, i applied like about a month ago
did you have referral for that role?
no
What’s a good code signal score for c1?
Prob anything 700+
Tho aim for 750+ 4 safety
anyone know what the minimum to pass virtu financial OA is
got rejected but thought I got 4/5 optimal and 1 non optimal
how long does c1 reach out after OA?

is there a discord server for leetcode exclusively?
has anyone received a 2023 amazon offer yet? Return offer or new grad?
few people are finishing up their internships next week so return offers may start rolling in then
yeah but many interns are finishing up their projects around now
ye friend did
why do we have to be graduating during a recession this scares me so much
i want to go to a startup but it might fall under due to the economy
and i have no financial support from parents
so wtf do i do
wait wtf when did the internships start
I still got till August 26th, not zon tho
may 2nd i believe
end of 12 weeks is this friday
I still have until August 12th
few ppl ik finished their projects in week 7 lol
sheesh what kinda projects are they being assigned?
or are they just cracked?
prob the latter, although one of them said his project was to make a glorified json parser
me personally im 10 days behind 
either a react dashboard or cracked af
1 month for me for intern season
bruh I got thrust into a project halfway through with devs in different timezones and 5 tickets in my first sprint, I feel you on that
Go to stable company. Duh
Has anyone done an internship at Amz and returned for a diff team/location?
good luck 🙏 we got it
my understanding is you need to decline return offer and say you want a different location when you get the survey asking why. there’s no guarantees this will get you another offer though
Hmm thats rlly high risk...
my heart is telling me no
personally i would try to have another offer in hand if you choose this option. if you’re in amazon discord i’m sure you could find someone who did this successfully
I gotta start applying again. My onboarding buddy told me I'd get a return since project is pretty much done. Trying to see where I wanna go tho
what week are you on?
ahh gotcha. i’d also check your school’s policy to see how long you have to accept the return offer, my school requires companies that recruit on campus to give until november 1st for return ft offers. delay the big decisions til you have as much info as possible
thanks bro you too
idc abt my school. I told amz that my school requires 16 week for the internship even tho i'm not in the co-op program
do you not like your team? or is there another reason you wouldn't accept the return
I love my team, just the location is eh
I probably got one of the best teams imo
what location?
We have like weekly lunches, free snacks and sometimes dinner too
Vancouver
ahh gotcha
word
my team is spread between a few offices so idk if i’d even see everyone if i was in person
Ah that sucks. My team comes into office like twice a week at max so even then its still wfh mostly
i have a great team but also don’t like my location, but i’m based out of seattle. i don’t wanna move there full time, i’d like to stay in LA
so i’m in the same boat
:doggohehe:
I’m chilling if I want to start applying for ft roles after my internship (mid Aug) right? I see there are a lot of places open rn but I don’t have time lmao
already got rejected
without OA
i did the OA
Nope at that point it’s too late. All the companies would have filled up their spots
Yes ur fine
How was it?
mine was good. i got 10/14 on Q1 and all test cases on Q2
heard 1x30 fjnal was removed @surreal shuttle

I guess i will be jobless
is your name like a title? if i beat that score, do i have to wear it lol
is it like highlander
Wdym
So what's the new one
probably the standard 3x45 tech + behavioral
When are we getting a 2023 new grad posting and process thread?
Bruh really
Can someone confirm that
anybody have any idea about how well u wanna do on the amazon OA to move on to the next round?
How do yk they changed it?
someone said
In the past this would be fine but with recession who knows when ft goes up
Need confirmation
yoo
did yall know this exists https://www.techinterviewhandbook.org/grind75
Grind 75 is a better version of Blind 75 which goes beyond 75 questions. You can customize the available time you have, difficulty, topics, etc. The possibilities are endless.
wtf now im gonna use this

yep, that plus neetcode 150 is solid af
has anyone gotten amazon final?
its a two back-to-back interview style
not sure
it is 2x60
gross
oa2 is just LP right?
lowkey was hoping for the 30 min final
did you ace oa1
i did
Wait it’s not 3x45 anymore?
is it a necessity?
do they not do 3x45 anymore? thats what I got a couple months back
This final step will consist of TWO virtual interviews. You will have two 60 minute interviews. You will be expected to answer technical questions related to design, data structures, algorithms and basic coding along. You will need to be prepared with a computer with reliable internet access and a working web cam for the virtual interviews.
from the email
new grad loop?
i guess
or industry 
you confirm this?
Bro what if the 30 min code is of our oa
LMM AO
each question
ideal
Nah it’s prob rng like 3x45 was lol
Could even be 5 min lp 55 min coding
Depends on interviewer
So anyone got 130 mins final round or everyone got 260?
im wondering this too
I heard another got 2x60
Any good resources you guys used for OA2 for the lp
I got 2x60 as well
is the survey link working for you?
The website
aight
or anyone that has the amazon final can you click on the survey link?
for some reason mine says "this hasnt started"
Is there a specific day when Amazon rolls out next batch of OA?
Like Monday or something?
😅
did to need to keep the web cam switched on the entire time or just at the beginning for oa?
Just the beginning
?avatar @chilly burrow

?avatar @fickle stump
why does this look familiar
not yet LOOOL
this is from picrew
pi what
u can make your custom avatars
lmfao
i WISH 😭
me
also quick q was there anyone who got amazon oa and is international?
When did you apply for 23 new grad? I applied early and haven't got OA yet
do u think amazon prefers java in their interview
FAANG companies don't really care what lang you use as long as its not super obscure
use a lang that the interviewer can follow along with that and that works best for you
is the link for 2x60 not working?
dam
How long did it take for you guys to get the Amazon OA after applying?
ye i applied first day with referral and no oa lol i think just gotta wait
it’s p rng
When was the first day?
Is there anyone who gets SoFi OA/phone? I got resume reject just one day after applying.
idr lol around mid june?
mid to late june
Did you get an email from them? Only email I got from them is the one saying they received my application.
Yes, an email indicates I am rejected.
I applied about a week ago but haven't heard anything
Phone invite 2x
sofi is also masters p sure right
It is
This guy got 1x30
Nah, don't believe random people. Just because one person got 2x60 doesn't mean they stopped doing it. 
It's random
We don't know on what basis they give the 1x30
Yeah i find it hard to believe either 
So it's effectively easier imo
Can someone describe what's the overall amazon 2023 new grad process is right from OA?
is it recommended to apply for multiple positions within the same company?
Can I reapply for an Amazon position after withdrawing my application
i dont think aws would be same
No you can't
They don't allow it
Just use a different email to reapply
Did anyone who got a perfect on the oa get a 2x60?
i still didn't get my OA2
how long did it take you to get the first OA?
When did you apply?
last month
Ok. I just realized I only applied 5 days ago.
For Amazon did u guys get OAs without referrals
Also are there any other companies you guys got OAs from for 2023?
I havent got any yet 
Give it some time mate. It’s still kinda early
Just got some "default" OAs
Like akuna and citadel
Finish their OAs and then get rejected
Yeah I just took the akuna one yesterday and got the rejection today
I had like 6/8 test cases
oh i forgot to do the survey at the end of OA1 

We all do, but you're probably getting 3 x 45 
As far as we know they didn't, some random person saying it's gone doesn't make it true
There's always someone spreading misinformation every recruiting season then other people spreading the rumors on 
Holding off on applying, grinding LC
microsoft return offer secured 😈😈😈😈
i told my manager i wanted to go to a startup and he was just like, nah plz don’t commit career suicide 
and then we started shitting on meta
it was a fun talk
"Metamates" 
did you passed all test cases for both questions in OA ?
for you guys who got 2x60, did they state the format of the interview?
like 30min behavioral and 30min coding?
You worked hard Lee, there's no doubt in my mind Amazon will be a success. You have the power to shape your own destiny. And on the one-in-one thousand, no, one in a million chance something to happen to go wrong, I will die right along with you. Since the day I met you, my nindō has been to train you to become the most splendid ninja possible. That's a promise!
Look deep into my eyes and accept my sincere apology! Also notice my handsome manly features.
okay sensei 
q
real eyes, real ize , realize, the deep is the peak
I ran tests multiple times to pass all the test cases thats y I thought of asking.
@cerulean basin is there a plan to update https://www.cscareers.dev/process-tracking/2022-new-grad for 2023 new grad?
Track the status of other software engineers application status at large tech companies for the 2022 New Grad recruiting season
what was the difficulty level of the questions ?
nice !
a stupid mistake cost me a lot of time though
yes

my manager said yes

he also graduated during recession so he feels for me
My what has been to train you? 
I did not know VMWare was being bought 
The big question is, is it temporary?
my prediction is 2 years of this
2024 grads gonna be the ones to get bigger fucked
Its okay Amazon is still hiring lmao. I just set up a rec call with them 
best way to prepare for Amazon's industry loop?
I know I need to upgrade my F R U G A L I T Y game for sure
Oh shit I gotta prep for OOD. Do you know any good resources?
that's alright I'll do some digging
it's ok
amazon hiring open for you, your son and even your grandson as well. 🙂
Did not get an amazon OA 
Is it extra brownie points to solve on-site problems in a class object oriented style? Or is the trouble not worth it?
Is there 2 different OAs? Or is there 1 OA that has 2 problems
@surreal shuttle when did you apply
They overhired this year so they reducing incoming hires (2023 grads). Everyone getting affected
is it better to apply now to amazon with recruiter support or cold apply if i have 6 weeks to get an offer
Recession for 2024 grads is a concern but also at that point u all will have a better idea of stable companies hopefully cuz this period should reveal a lot of things
yea 2023 grads so fucked there’s not even a process channel 
kirb do you have any idea where I can study for OOD?
is it different than System Design?
Yeah it’s diff
Design-tagged on lc
ooh so those type of questions
On my spreadsheet i have some sample probs. I think neetcode.io tmbn
yeah the other OOD is often like design an API. That’s technically dumbed down sys des
Design functions and classes for an API e.g.
Where can I see your spreadsheet?
Pinned
It’s outdated, made before neetcode and grind stuff but
The collection is good. Dont do em all lol it’s just for record keeping
Or to master a category imo
me struggling to do two sum, trying hard not to drown in embarrassment
Man two sum was horrible the first time I saw leetcode
It takes time, you’ll git gud eventually
The LeetCode devil

🥳
does anyone know when will more companies start hiring for 2023? and if there is some place where I can see all of them? like a github / glassdoor link or smth?
people are posting 2023 stuff
oh ok, thanks!
how do I use it lol
sorry
idk much about the server
just look at company names
There is a github link too.
Take a shot everytime this link is reposted
2023 grads bleeding into 2022 grads to escape the 2023 tech job exodus
does anyone know normally how many percent of people will be selected out in the OA process?
if I pass OA, how many chance would I have now?
i was the 1st to post it in this channel
#2023_grads message
If Amazon freezes hiring we fucked
Hopefully market recovers and positions open up early 2023
noooooo :(
Is there a date they want you to choose for the final?
next 5 days
lol
so little time
@hazy gull did you just read through the lp principles before taking oa2?
Wondering if I need to do anything more than that
interesting, it was 2 parts right? And how did u do on oa1?
optimal 15/15 both
sucks they seemed to have gotten rid of 1x30 lol
sorry one more thing, oa 2 is 2 parts right?
nvm just got the email for oa 2 lol
Yes its 2 parts
yeah I forgot to do the survey after oa1 and was confused why i didnt receive oa 2 cause i passed all the test cases
im wondering what the latest timeslot during the day amazon interviews are held cause im working standard 9-5 internship lol
yeah
mine was 7pm on a friday
est
dope thanks
Well I was just curious if people did, not getting ahead of myself haha
nani?

Whether people got any OAs for this season
last year it took me 5 months to get amazon oa
tf no way
@cobalt siren what are parts in oa2
simulation and workstyle
Same as last year?
i didnt do oa2 last year but i think so
i did not do oa2 yet
when's your final?
@jagged ravine is OA2 work simulation + personality test + survey?
oh sweet, how well did you do on OA1?
y'all are screwed. good luck have fun
@jagged ravine did you prepare for oa2 at all? And did it really take the full 110 minutes?
damn ok lmao
did you remember preparing last year for oa2?
this is probably a very subjective question but in the offer stage do you think you have the possibility to choose team? More specifically request a remote team
ik amazon is pushing for hybrid but to my understanding there's a lot of remote teams
gotcha, did you do 3x45 last year for final round?
im curious how hard the final round is i heard it's rng
ah ok gotcha
damn lmao
wait so the company you decided to go to, are you not trying to return to them for full time?
welp hahaha
ive been curious about how yall feel about that loll
sorry bro that sucks
it's a scary time to be graduating rn
yeah thats stupid money for straight out of college
honestly i find it kinda funny how ppl here act like anything over 100k isn't insanely good for people who are just graduating college. we're literally kids lmao
i guess it depends on location but still
even with the location factored in tbh
im sure there's a bunch of people in san francisco that would die to have 6 figure salary lol
^^^
exactly that. even tho bay area is crazy expensive i doubt the majority is enjoying a six figure salary esp at our age
i think this sub has me convinced im living in a cardboard box if i make 100k in bay area lmao
when in reality you definitely can still have a good quality of life just not living lavishly
yeah i had that mindset for awhile too bc ppl on the subreddit made it seem like 100k is NOTHING
but talking to my friends who just graduated this past month, basically all of them were so excited if they were making 65k+
true
This 100%. Switching careers and making over 100k is impossible. 65k is considered top 80%
Don't worry, you will find a job. Your first job may not be a dream job, or a FAANG job, but a job is better than no job
65k is living like a king where i live
selfishly hoping for a bit of a resurgence of the pandemic so we can stay remote lol
which is a terrible desire cause people die from the pandemic
average salary of somebody in san fran is 67k
damn fb ft seems like a dream
full remote for now, this will prob change soon
fully remote is so tempting bc you can potentially get a high COL salary while living somewhere else lower COL
rippp
yeah but as a new grad, never seeing your team in-person, kinda sucks tbh
yeah i work at c1 rn and my org allows full remote but the full time program is rotational
so idk if I can stay in the same team
and i think almost everyone else is hybrid
but my internship rn it kinda sucks bc i wish i could see my team in person lmao
if they allow me to return same team im accepting return offer in a heartbeat
that's true I went to an in person event and the interns were having so much fun
but hey, at least they're giving you tasks with real business impact 💀
damn remote internship, that sucks
ignoring the social aspect it's pretty nice
i can roll out of bed like 10 minutes before stand up
and take a nap during lunch break
what are you working on if you dont mind sharing
my cousin is doing pretty much just data engineering stuff
damn nice
my standup is at 10AM local time, so I usually wake up by 8AM, and start doing work stuf by like 8:30am
that sounds great
do you mind sharing where u work for?
That's pretty sick damn
Chad companies create a python compiler instead of migrating to go 😤
Was in a 1:1 with my director and they confirmed that LinkedIn is now in a hiring freeze.
Source: LinkedIn employee on 🅱️
JS?
yeah when i saw JS i immediately thought javascript not jane street and got so confused lmaooo
slightly unrelated but isn't jane street dummy hard to get into as a new grad
Jane Street pays well, but work sounds like it sucks there
That's where you and I differ
Not that I have thought about yet
for how long though
Maybe at some point I would have a price lol
if you eventually adjust then it’s worth the first year being rough
I didn't get into Software for the money as my primary goal lol
quant world kinda weird tbh
If you got into software for the money your life is gonna be depressing
I got into tech because I was a social outcast growing up 
I love coding but now that I get paid for it it’s hard to do it for free tbh
I still work on my side projects every so often, not as much as before
it’s rare to absolutely hate coding and be somewhat good at it
Like I will go in and push some commits to my projects every couple weeks
Recently I have just been fixing random bugs in my discord bot lol
some of which have been broken for like 3 years
oh yeah lol, I am just in this chat for lolz
I am coming up on 2 YOE, as a SWE2
agreed, the meetings, the product team, db work
kek
we’ll be aight bro
there was a ton of economy recession doomer talk start of June, kinda died down though so maybe a good sign?
slow hiring till end of the year so they have good head count next year? just being foolishly optimistic here lol
Tfw I can only be a pornstar or be miserable
I love how people are surprised about all this recession stuff
like the whole world just went thru a pandemic
the fuck did you thing was going to happen
Hell the pandemic is still happening in some parts of the world

here in the US, the pandemic ended Janurary 6th 2021

bruh this current strain of covid is ridiculous i got it a month ago and literally thought i was gonna die
triple vaxxed too
Yeah I stopped caring about covid a while ago
fr?
yeah prob like last Summer 2021, or whatever, when people stopped wearing masks
Link to ur of?
nvm turns out I did mine thursday, 6 days ago
Oh that Stytch place sounds cool tbh
Anyone else get invite to this Databricks talk from a recruiter on LinkedIn?
The one tommorow?
yea
Has anyone completed OA for Citadel 2023 Software Engineer role ? Some insights would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
Ng up?
Yeah
Citadel Securities is an award-winning global market-maker across a broad array of fixed income and equity products.
Oo
Why not right
Ahh I see
In team match but it's not looking good
You have amzn though right?
How was the OA? And are you still waiting for a phone?
Ooh gl! Lmk how it goes. I heard they like to ask specific cpp trivia questions
Or Python, depending on your resume
Ya I also suck at cpp but I have over a year to learn lol
Anyone been slacking on LC 
yup
yup
can i get away with recruiting for them in late august
ya prob
altho dis is comin from som1 who's never interviewed at a hft so take it wit a grain of ssslt
Lmao turns out it didn't really matter, I applied for algo dev and still got cpp questions
Can't wait to receive c++ questions for the web algo position
After I pass resume screen 
Isn’t algo dev for HRT
We were talking about CitSec lol
Fuck I get them mixed up so bad
Yeah I meant SWE at Cit
I applied late aug for them so I guess? The pipeline wouldn't really close that early so no worries
Did you every try for securities or just the hedge fund?
I'll be real with y'all
I didn't know CitSec existed until a few months ago 
Lol I mean that’s fair, it’s pretty small
But I think CitSec TC is better than the hedge fund right
Like I got 350k at Cit, but the same position at CitSec was like 400k+ minimum on levels
As far as prestige goes, that's probably where the prestige chasers should go icl. I'm reading on em rn just on blind, glassdoor etc and it seems a step up from regular cit
Yeah apparently it’s also better for engineering in terms of culture
Not much info available tho
Kinda love that ngl
I've been really intrigued with smaller dev circles recently
Not exactly startups -- I want a co with history, development and stability but also less bureaucracy, no prescribed/hardset roles and just overall a lower dev count
Maybe that'll change once I actually start lmfao
prepping for amazon OA1, kinda worried
i've done quite a bit of the blind75/tagged questions, but the only reason i could do mediums is because i've seen some similar/the exact problem before
never been really able to come up with the smart solution on my own :p
scary stuff
Lol yeah it’s nice cause mystery but also annoying when you have no idea how to prep 
hey don't worry so much, honestly
having amz OA this year means at least you past the resume screen.
you're off to a great start 👍
speaking by whom was rejected without OA 😂
thanks man, i think the pressure comes from the fact that this's the first time i got OA in the last 3 years of applying LOL
gotta make it count somehow
Google freezing?
That was a while ago.
it was just a few days ago tho?
oh no :/
I think microsoft too
well the article says microsoft slows down hiring for windows, office and teams groups lol
it's not technically official but definitely slowing down as well
I'm doomed 😄
i got rejected by amazon for ng pos, even more pain :/
should've done more intern, rip
yeah ...
Ng pos?
New grad post
anyone else get virtu financial phone?
23?
Has anyone gotten amazon's OA but their application has been moved to the archived section?
is anyones amazon final before july 25?
How many rounds did you get for Amazon final?
2*60
i just took amazon oa
How was it?
does it auto snap the id pic becuase i looked away while lining it up and the screen disappeared lol
it was fine, easier than expected fs
2*60 will be the standard
overthought the first question but it was easy
2nd one took me so long to debug lmfao
Last year they had 1*60 and you just had to explain your OA 1 answer
You mean 1*30
Oh yeah
When did you apply? Might be in next wave
yes its gone
I applied on 2 or 3rd of July I think
There's next wave? Wdym
You mean next year?
hey would now be a good time to start applying to new grads or am i late again?
oe early in the process?
you on time gogogogogo 
okay bet
good luck brotha
so amazon isn't gonna offer those 1x45 if your OA is really good?
2x60 is ez money
ye id love to have 60 2 min interviews
would be hella easy
dw not that deep tbh
still hella early
id amazon canada open?
is*
oh bet
damn
i thought only US was open alr
it’s fine trust it’ll work out
opportunities come outta nowhere
also i don’t think startups r rlly that worried
about the recession
like they’re not rlly slowing hiring much
weirdly
nah like i was talking to like verkada and stripe and applied intuition and stuff apparently they’ve seen this coming and they don’t plan on slowing down hiring
then again anything can happen
but like i think the bs startups will go down
but the good startups will be fine
oh yeah
local startups r fked
i meant anything like series C and higher will be abs fine and series A and B will be shaky and seeds well r a gamble
Sweet then I can actually not get screwed over by google return
Did anyone ever find a fix for the broken Amazon ng application
For Amazon oa2 I just have to know leadership principles, or is ther also coding shit
How is citadel oa?
How bruh
You gotta do lc again
It’s better to explain OA again
I think he means vs 3x45
Oh
Anyone got interview call for akuna capital ng Junior developer ML Data engineering role?
Yea I rather than 2x60
Focus on beating Leclerc my man
lmao Stripe is not really a start up anymore
12 yr old company, prob go public soon or get bought by someone
This is a place I want to get a job at https://stytch.com/
Stripe probably has decent tech stack, good wlb, and pays decent
They seem to have remote positions though
so you should be fine
Stripe is overrated imo, their stock comp plan doesn’t make sense for a startup
I mean you join a startup hoping for explosive growth
idk this seems pretty good for entry level SWE TC
But then stripe gives you a set dollar amount of stock
tbh I still don't really know how RSUs work
I would rather have more cash salary than any stocks, stock seems like a pain to deal with
Yeah I want money, I don't have time to deal with stocks lol
U have to pay tax on pre ipo options too so u lose momey
Yeah I don't mess with stocks/options that much tbh
Hopefully I figure it all out in the next couple years, none of this stuff was ever explained to me in college lol
Man idk what’s wrong with me
I keep messing up palantir second questions in karat
Is that an insta reject
Well used to be at least
I’ve heard from a few people the culture is changing
You do realize at faang you can enable auto sell
You get nothing but pure cash
so as soon as the vest date hits, it just sells the shares?
oh that is nice I guess
If you wanna sell outside of auto sell you need to be in a trading window
But if you enable auto sell during a trading window you’ll get all your vested stocks being auto sold no matter if you’re in a trading window
Damn I feel like I messed up in college, not learning how investing works lol
All I know is (buy low, sell high)
I think that's most people who aren't an economics major tho
I also have no clue. Been grinding investopedia and reading the intelligent investor

I am moving this #full_timers
Someone recommended bogleheads for slow retirement investing
oh shit thanks for the bread crumb
one thing bout startups is some places dont actually give the stocks to u. u actually have to buy the options with ur own money
Most startups do options instead of rsus
Damn this all seems complex, wish it was simple, I worked 40hrs, I get paid 40*rate, lol
Well startups don’t pay as much base since they have less capital lol
Same for private companies

DRW reject 😩
is it normal for status to say "in progress-assessment" after finishing code signal 3-4 days ago?
Im wondering the same thing for Capital one TDP
Capital One
mine said that and i never did the codesignal
Our system shows that you have completed all required assessments and your application is up to date. Our recruiting team is currently reviewing candidates for this position and will reach out to you if they'd like to move you forward in the recruiting process.
We appreciate your time and interest in Capital One!
Warm Regards,```
Funny thing is I never did any assessments.
am i that good that i get to skip the oa? lol
i have my c1 final scheduled august
Have you interviewed with Capital One in the past
yeah
did the intern interview last year
Let's hope my presentation today to L9 will help me convert full time 🙏🏾
for 2023 new grad, is it better to apply for jobs in august with 3.0 gpa or December with 3.3 gpa?
gpa doesnt matter for most ocmpanies im psure, so you should probs start applying in augusr
should I leave the 3.0 off the resume then?
No, leave the 3.0 on
3.0 is good
Below 3.0 is when I'd leave it off
Ehh I’d leave it off
GPA really doesn’t help for resume screen unless it’s like de shaw or something
i also have the option to combine my gpa from community college (3.94) with the place I transferred to (3.02) and it’s around 3.5 wrt units but idk if it’s unethical to put that I have a 3.5 and only list the latter institution
I was worried about my GPA and the fact I failed calc1 lol
None of the interviewers or recruiters ever mentioned anything about it though
leave it off
i left off my 3.5 cause i thought it was too low
its def a bit misleading lol, if they ask for transcript to confirm it looks reaallllllllllly bad i think
isn’t 3.5 enough for honors?
Wait we need to add GPA on resume?
I am new to USA. What does this mean?
I would say maybe if you don't have a lot of previous exp, like internships, then consider putting GPA, otherwise don't bother
Cum Laude, Magna, Summa, Honor Role, Graduating With Honors, Mean, Definition, Requirements, GPA, Convocation, College, High School, Initiation, Ceremonies, Induction
Cum 
Keep it on
shit i thought gpa does not matter.
not for the jobs. just to be a Laude 
im summa cum laude
Gpa is overrated sorry not sorry
what should I pay attention to if I want to write an email to express my interest in an internship job?
My name is XXX. I am a second year master student from the School of Engineering, University of XXX. I want to apply for the internship in the XXX Department.
I have a bachelor degree in mathematics and I'm interested in data analysis. I want to apply my knowledge to market research, analysis and other tasks.
I use English a lot in my daily life and I'm confident of my oral English and communication skills. I would like to take this opportunity to develop my skills and I believe my knowledge can contribute to the department.
I have attached my resume to this email. Thank you for your valuable time.
How about this?

remove the real world, intenational company crap
instead say u are intersted in a particular role
bc u have that skill
Thank you, how about this?
?
original message modified
thank you.
How long has it taken y’all to receive Amazon OA after applying?
took like 3 weeks, though im pretty sure they sent out OAs at a specific timeframe rather than base it on when you applied
applied june 24, got OA iirc july 18
what is 'iirc' ?
if i recall correctly
just did amazon oa2
the sequal
Man it's wierd
How do yall think they judge that assessment?
What are the OAs like? Principles and Leetcode style?
First one is leetcode style, second is a work simulation type test without any code
I'd say amazon OA is not too terrible
Strange, for interns they seem to have included it all in one OA
Oh damn it was 3 OAs when I applied for summer 2022 internship
Kids these days
smh
Anyone know how long approximately it takes for Amazon coordinators to get to u with your schedule after a recruiter allows u onto on-site interview
Give it up to 5 business days
And then follow up if you don't hear anything
does anyone know when google apps are coming out
Poor guy
I’m pretty sure west coast hater has been asking about Google for months now

Is there a way to skip Amazon OA if you already interned there before?
