Yeah….

#

Sure maybe more stable than Coinbase but super stressful job in general

#

And yep the TC sucks

#

All cash which could be good ig

surreal shuttle
#

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 coolcry

#

They all think I’m making bank

#

Yeah well def above avg

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

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 glad

quants aren't devs, they're traders I thought

#

hence no coding test

formal fable
# woven mason wait dev or quant?

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

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

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.

i did not do oa2 yet

azure zephyr
#

when's your final?

forest hatch
#

@jagged ravine is OA2 work simulation + personality test + survey?

azure zephyr
#

oh sweet, how well did you do on OA1?

livid yew
#

y'all are screwed. good luck have fun

cobalt siren
#

@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

azure zephyr
#

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

cobalt siren
#

i guess it depends on location but still

azure zephyr
#

even with the location factored in tbh

cobalt siren
#

im sure there's a bunch of people in san francisco that would die to have 6 figure salary lol

azure zephyr
#

^^^

cobalt siren
#

damn even my sister started out with 50k salary in socal

#

still manages to do well

azure zephyr
#

exactly that. even tho bay area is crazy expensive i doubt the majority is enjoying a six figure salary esp at our age

cobalt siren
#

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

azure zephyr
#

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+

cobalt siren
#

true

quaint steppe
livid yew
#

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

rough ruin
#

65k is living like a king where i live

cobalt siren
#

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

azure zephyr
#

average salary of somebody in san fran is 67k

cobalt siren
#

damn fb ft seems like a dream

livid yew
#

full remote for now, this will prob change soon

azure zephyr
#

fully remote is so tempting bc you can potentially get a high COL salary while living somewhere else lower COL

cobalt siren
#

rippp

livid yew
cobalt siren
#

so idk if I can stay in the same team

#

and i think almost everyone else is hybrid

azure zephyr
#

but my internship rn it kinda sucks bc i wish i could see my team in person lmao

cobalt siren
#

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

buoyant herald
#

but hey, at least they're giving you tasks with real business impact 💀

livid yew
cobalt siren
#

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

cobalt siren
#

and he's not too fond of it

#

damnnnnn

livid yew
#

my standup is at 10AM local time, so I usually wake up by 8AM, and start doing work stuf by like 8:30am

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

rigid quail
#

for how long though

livid yew
#

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

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 KEKW

I couldn’t do any job I don’t enjoy

If you count internship

#

I have work exp outside of tech though

rigid quail
#

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

Just wanna know what’s the process like. I think OA -> Phone -> 5 hour final

Oh I mean I’m gonna apply next year lol

Just thinking ahead

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

Can't wait to receive c++ questions for the web algo position

After I pass resume screen copium

We were talking about CitSec lol

inner prawn
young peak

I didn't know CitSec existed until a few months ago KEKW

inner prawn
#

Lol I mean that’s fair, it’s pretty small

young peak
#

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

inner prawn
#

Yeah and better wlb in general

#

It’s like an elite prop shop

young peak
#

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

inner prawn
#

Yeah apparently it’s also better for engineering in terms of culture

#

Not much info available tho

young peak
#

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

misty fable
#

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

having amz OA this year means at least you past the resume screen.

you're off to a great start 👍

gotta make it count somehow

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

lmao Stripe is not really a start up anymore

#

12 yr old company, prob go public soon or get bought by someone

#

Stripe probably has decent tech stack, good wlb, and pays decent

#

They seem to have remote positions though

#

so you should be fine

rustic vessel
#

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

livid yew

idk this seems pretty good for entry level SWE TC

rustic vessel

But then stripe gives you a set dollar amount of stock

livid yew

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

They prolly wont ipo

Also their rsu plan limits ur growth

U have to pay tax on pre ipo options too so u lose momey

should I leave the 3.0 off the resume then?

grizzled bronze

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
