[soft basin]

i’m fine w 120k as new grad

i’ll slowly hop jobs

[hallow scroll]

for big N yeah but its not a good representation of most engineers, that pay is extremely good for most people but the people here have a skewed definition of what good TC is

mclean virginia

[safe grove]

When did 120k become low, isn't that high for any non-tech companies

[plush flume]

Cheapest house in that county is 1.2 mil

I’ve heard

It’s the richest county in America

America

[safe grove]

120k in Dallas would be good though right?

[plush flume]

I mean like if they did a google search they can figure that out lol

[strange rain]

true, but they should really do the research

[earnest hatch]

Lol, not at all predatory. It's on the intern to do the research.

Predatory is an overstatement. This internship pays a ridiculous amount and then new grad pay still isn't bad.

[safe grove]

I heard a rumor that C1 intern pay this year is like 75/hr, does that mean that they're gonna raise their new grad pay too

Imagine getting a pay cut as a new grad

[sinful locust]

C1 pays their fte and interns he same 💀

[soft basin]

im gonna see what i have available if i get c1

like if i cant pass any other new grad intrerviews obv ill take c1

[safe grove]

I think C1 interns would be able to get interviews at a lot of places

[sinful locust]

why does belvedere gotta be so cringe

[soft basin]

getting the interview is one thing passing is another

[sinful locust]

14 probability and number probs in 25 mins

[spark hearth]

I turned down Google for c1 cuz they payed more per hour

[sinful locust]

bruh

ur prefrosh right

screw ethics

yea apply trading lmao

[soft basin]

ethical or not i will not hesitate to renege if i get a better offer

[sinful locust]

i mean yea it wasnt bad

i think i got like 80% right?

idk

[spark hearth]

hey that's kinda mean

Im trying my best

[atomic willow]

the roblox cognitive test is so bad bro

[sinful locust]

wdym bad

hard?

[spark hearth]

it was fun

[atomic willow]

its a minigame basically

i think its kinda dumb

[sinful locust]

cause theyre stupid af

they know they wont get the best talent ft

so they ll bait with intern

[soft basin]

ill know that fs if i get offer from intern

[spark hearth]

c1 sucks

[sinful locust]

for intern its good

dont get me wrong

[hallow scroll]

you guys are talking about this 2 much go leetcode or something

[sinful locust]

bro

Bro

Bro

i just did an oa

im tired

[spark hearth]

go study system design

[sinful locust]

i should actually

[hallow scroll]

same dw I have a list of problems I need to do before tomorrow and theres like 25 left but im too lazy

[sinful locust]

whats tomorrow

[hallow scroll]

idk I opened their oa and closed it

[sinful locust]

oh yea

[hallow scroll]

amayon

[sinful locust]

im not gonna do the frontend

sheesh gl

yall got this

i gotta do lik 10 tagged for c1

[hallow scroll]

I didnt even ask for it

[sinful locust]

screw the case interview

if i fail it idc

it is

[safe grove]

Why are C1 tagged questions so wack

[sinful locust]

i can attest

wdym wack

[hallow scroll]

I try for like 10 mins then look at solution

[safe grove]

Like the rhombus question

[sinful locust]

didnt do it

wait can u send me the list ur looking at

[safe grove]

Yeah I'll send it

[sinful locust]

aight thanks bro

[soft basin]

some ppl might just take c1 just for the full time offer to have a jobv

but then job hop

[craggy barn]

Dont get me started on this one

[midnight grove]

@woven quest were u able to change ur starting season? im trying to see if i can as well

[safe grove]

I'm trying to do the rhombus q right now and idk how I would have reacted to seeing this in an interview for the first time

[sinful locust]

good thing u arent doing it the first time then

haha

[midnight grove]

lmkk if u get any updates pls 🙏

[craggy barn]

When I saw how it was approached it made a lot of sense but if I got that in the interview I'd leave

[safe grove]

https://leetcode.com/problems/get-biggest-three-rhombus-sums-in-a-grid/

[sinful locust]

Same amount as interns 💀

[soft basin]

bruh i want to bleach my eyes from this problem

[safe grove]

[soft basin]

👋

[versed kestrel]

oh shit I got that for q3 codesignal once, quit immediately

[sinful locust]

lmaooo

true

c1 is bait

please dont take ft without considering

at least hrt pays

idk if ill say paying more intern than ft is unethical but its damn sure crappy af

yea lmao thats such a sad flex

ok from that angle fair

[unreal radish]

I mean to be fair, C1 as a FT still will pay more than my current company’s FT

[sinful locust]

id say for early on internship its great, but do TC research and dont aim there ft if you can

aight bruh

gotta repeat everything again

go for it

i like this cfed guy

L3 should get paid less than interns

lmao

theres a certain degree that comes with being a FTer at a compny

if C1 is smart, they should know that theyre breeding early talent for other companies

but they dont

[safe grove]

Do most C1 interns do FT somewhere else?

[sinful locust]

also swe at bank is just painful in general

[sinful locust]

i would think so

and yea should

agreed

but its still somewhat on company onus

shouldnt be doing it on first place

we just said

:troll:

pay ideally should be a measure of how much they respect and what they do for the company

like

why pay managers more

if youre paying interns more than ft its just wrong, your value priority is wrong

absolutley

[soft basin]

obv higher level deserves better pay

[sinful locust]

if u have no other job offers and c1 what do u do

[sinful locust]

this is quite a crappy situation

[soft basin]

but in general everyone should be paid a livable wage

[sinful locust]

yea c1 is liveable while ur single maybe sure

[hallow scroll]

is slack down

[sinful locust]

but thats not rly the question

[soft basin]

yeah ofc

[sinful locust]

no

like cisco is with their caste system bs

lmao

lmao

facts

its not that simple

never black and white

really

srsly

[earnest hatch]

AFAIK Capital One is paying interns the same rate as full-time

[sinful locust]

there could be a lot of things stopping

demographic, other issues

slightly

do we agree it is offensive

[earnest hatch]

"Predatory"

[crystal agate]

Can u send to me too - or is it the leetcode bot

[golden root]

Bruh it’s really not that deep 💀 it’s not unethical because 1. Just because you intern there doesn’t mean you’re forced to work there after grad 2. FT workers can leave at any time to another company if the wage bothered them so much and I bet most of them know what the interns make anyways

[civic shoal]

You can leave whenever you want but that also means you’re super replaceable

[sinful locust]

meh not worth ur time

[civic shoal]

And the market isn’t in the best spot there aren’t as many positions as there used to be.

[sinful locust]

byebye

[safe grove]

The LeetCode bot is outdated I'll send you the new one

[crystal agate]

I appreciate u

[civic shoal]

you’re not always gonna have a better offer

[golden root]

A company can structure its salary progressions however it wants just like the employee is volutarily working for the company, incentivized by a salary. If the FT pay is low, who cares? Just go somewhere else like?

[civic shoal]

and switching out jobs constantly is a great way to show companies you don’t fit anywhere

[sinful locust]

i guess c1 just counts tip interns same as new grad tdps

maybe what youre saying only applies to traders idk

no problem w that

[civic shoal]

the recession hasn’t even hit fully yet lmao

yeah but that’s the problem - uncertainty

[golden root]

Eh as long as you’re a competitive applicant I don’t think you need to worry about job placements that much during a recession

[tardy ridge]

dude im so worried about the recession though

i had an internship last year, and i was really hoping finding an internship this year would be easier

applied to so many companies (40+) and havent gotten anywhere thus far

as in I just get OAs and get ghosted

like cmon bruh 💀

[soft basin]

yeah its not like c1 is lying to u

its more of here u go if u want it stay if u dont find another job

[earnest hatch]

And the return offer they're getting is a six figure offer, calling it "predatorial" is funny

[soft basin]

imo yes

[strange rain]

It's only August bro, plenty of time

[hallow scroll]

So c1 salary not unethical since you know what you’re getting paid

[tardy ridge]

ig im just freaking out, i really thought id get a first round interview for every 30 or so companies i applied lol

[soft basin]

it also depends if they give a shit ton of qualifications and no pay its def unethical

[safe grove]

40 isn't that many

[civic shoal]

i think the C1 thing is gonna harm them more than benefit them if people know they’re not going to make more full time

[sinful locust]

never take unpaid internship

thats my rule

[soft basin]

im talkin abt the ones that try req a bunch of exp

[craggy barn]

I know yall directing this to C1 but lets be honest here all companies are unethical in some way so this convo's going nowhere

[sinful locust]

21 or youngboy

[soft basin]

if ur not being paid u pretty much have nothing to lose

[civic shoal]

Yeah every company has its issues

Like I think inflating total comp with stock bonuses is super misleading

[sinful locust]

online

[soft basin]

u can always decline the promotion

[civic shoal]

And most companies do that

[sinful locust]

tf

[strange rain]

Yea ik what you mean. But some companies don't even move past OA stuff until September. I wouldn't worry too much yet

[tardy ridge]

wait i dont get the argument against unpaid internships

why are they bad?

[soft basin]

they often overwork you yet you arent paid for the work you do

[tardy ridge]

first and second one, yes

i feel like if you're not being overworked, its fine tho

[soft basin]

yep i refuse to do them for a reason

i do need money so unpaid is unneeded

[rustic topaz]

1 interview and 2 final interviews. y'all pray for me. I really need my first internship 😭

[soft basin]

what companies?

[rustic topaz]

c1, amazon, and rbi

[soft basin]

good luck

i have amz and c1 upcoming

[rustic topaz]

damn

company that owns burger king, pop eyes, and tim hortons

[soft basin]

😭

[hallow scroll]

[grand bane]

if you already have 3 interviews you're gonna get one

[hallow scroll]

Guys who are done with Intuit’s first round OA - When did you hear after giving the OA?

[wide gale]

does amazon send a confirmation email when you apply?

[sinful locust]

Yes

[low vale]

No

[wide gale]

how long after you applied did you get it

[low vale]

I didn't get one, I don't think

I got the oa though

[wide gale]

i see, thanks

[sinful locust]

u hear back from akuna?

[rapid swan]

has anyone heard back from microsoft

[sinful locust]

hi

[rapid swan]

😕 applied with referral a couple of days ago

[sinful locust]

yo yo

[sinful locust]

baller gonna make it out the hood

[plush flume]

I heard the capital one locations for this yr are SF, NYC, and Virginia

[noble ore]

not too sure about the regular swe positions but for explore I'm pretty sure they dont do interviews until september

[rapid swan]

oh wtf ok 🙏

pls ping me when u hear back

[rapid swan]

is it just me or is everyone interviewing with cap 1 this yr

[obsidian willow]

I don’t think referrals help for Microsoft interns

[noble ore]

^^

[rapid swan]

I also had a special app link

for diversity conferences

that should help a bit

[noble ore]

yeah that will

but all the recruiters posted on linkedin that referrals wont matter (not too sure if they capping or not though)

[rapid swan]

referrals can help in the sense that someone at the company vouches for u in what they right

those recruiters are saying that referrals wont give you priority

basically

I thought microsoft is chiller

they have a super day at the end for sure

nah no sys design

technicals + behaviorals

[hallow scroll]

nah

[rapid swan]

Ive never used a whiteboard

[hallow scroll]

but they ask OOD

[rapid swan]

virtual is so much easier

[hallow scroll]

yeah probably

[steady crow]

is there a way to prep for OOD

[rapid swan]

in person interviews stress me out

[hallow scroll]

do popular ood problems

[rapid swan]

take ur school’s ood class

or some ood class

if ur school doesnt have one

[steady crow]

thx

[rapid swan]

ye thats what I heard as well

[vapid fox]

Microsoft asks interns OOD problems?

[rapid swan]

I wonder if some of the team match interviewers gave ood curveballs

[rapid swan]

nop

lets be real

faang deals with too many apps for non leetcode

[wind flower]

I got a question that wasn't leetcode last year at G

[spark hearth]

keep going

[rapid swan]

which round tho

[wind flower]

the final round, 2 interviews back to back

final round before matching

[hallow scroll]

I mean g doesn't ask leetcode problems for the most part

like you cant find them on leetcode

[rapid swan]

inch resting

well leetcode as in dsa

[wind flower]

it wasn't really leetcode style

[hallow scroll]

ye

[vapid fox]

Does anyone know if Amazon will ask any hards for interns

[soft basin]

it can happen but it’s rare

[vapid fox]

Aight thank you

[sinful locust]

how many days ago?

[swift valley]

man amazon oa coding challenges are surprisingly easy

the workstyle assessment is challenging

[sinful locust]

yeah i heard the same

i feel like its hard to choose sometimes

for a lot its obvious

[swift valley]

yea

50/50 I think I got on some of them

[ember bison]

amazon oa is so weird

i did some greedy sols

like the greediest shit ever

and it worked for both

[midnight grove]

did anyone get the start/end date survey after accepting amazon offer? i have a few questions

[ember bison]

thats deep

[proud whale]

Opinions on gusto?

[swift valley]

I got two HashMap questions, one with Math + Greedy on top of it

How long do people tend to wait for Amazon to respond to the OA result?

[ember bison]

W company

good wlb and culture, solid pay

think of it like lower paying asana

[floral needle]

5 days last year

[lean magnet]

anyone got any advice on how to prep for amazon OA

[proud whale]

Agreed

[proud whale]

Honestly I’m looking at levels and they’re hella competitive

Asana has a higher upper bound

But they’re close

[ember bison]

mhm

id say apple is slightly above gusto

if that makes sense

[proud whale]

That doesn’t

[sinful locust]

Seems super super cool honestly gusto my dream for next summer

[proud whale]

I’m confused lol

I swear! Gusto seems awesome

[sinful locust]

Gusto op my friend in gusto sf rn and says work culture is awesome

[proud whale]

Honestly, I think I’d rather do Denver than SF

[hallow scroll]

Gustooooo

[sinful locust]

Denver office seems cool too

Lol they have a socks in office policy

[proud whale]

Exploring a city like Denver seems more interesting to me than a city like SF I dunno why

Maybe cause I’m from Cali already

And sf is just whateva

[hallow scroll]

Yes

[proud whale]

But Denver seems cool as heck

Jack Harlow is Asana simp

[hallow scroll]

Asana

[sinful locust]

Gusto doesn’t ask leetcode btw they’re kinda like stripe

[proud whale]

Interesting

[wraith token]

They do

[proud whale]

Honestly I don’t like that lol

[sinful locust]

Only for online assessment

[proud whale]

I prefer leetcode

[sinful locust]

The actual interview isn’t leetcode

[proud whale]

Have u interviewed w them? What was it like

I might go for gusto next summer

[sinful locust]

Oa was leetcode

Style

But actual interview wasn’t

[wraith token]

I did the interview, it was leetcodey I broke it down into one

[sinful locust]

Oh ig it depends then

[wraith token]

Something to do with HTML tags

But I broke it down into 3 leetcode problems

Merge intervals, building a string, and something else

Wrote test cases

[uneven sand]

that’s too hard

my brain is hard wired to solve leetcode problems

[proud whale]

Same lol

[sinful locust]

Omg yeah

Html divs

I remember

[stark basin]

blind75
amazon tagged questions
read over amazon leadership principles
pray for good RNG

mostly pray

[midnight grove]

@stark basin do u kno if we can switch seasons when choosing the start/end date?

or is it still fixed to your season

[stark basin]

doesn't look like you can

[eternal hornet]

bruh, what company made you do shit with HTML tags that had you break it down into 3 different LeetCode problems

[midnight grove]

so it restricts you?

[stark basin]

I just accepted today so I haven't gotten choose date email or anything yet so I'm not sure, might want to check with someone who has accepted
I just know my application has "Summer 2023" written on it

[mossy compass]

is there no mention of dates in the offer letter?

[midnight grove]

oh i see, same here, i was wondering if we could change it to fall 2023 on the start/end date survey or if we had to contact them

if anyone knows lmk pls 🙏

[stark basin]

same thing
except more reading over amazon leadership principles
think up a three or five anecdotes that shows those principles for behavioral questions (They all start with "Tell me about a time you")

and again pray for good RNG in the coding

[midnight grove]

yeah i got 2 lc easies on oa and 1 lc easy final

😎

[stark basin]

offer details on the application page says "Start Date: Jun 26 End Date: Sep 15" but someone told me apparently you'll get a start date survey or something

those dates work perfectly for me anyways though

[stark basin]

got 2 that were easier than LC easys on the OA and 1 LC medium-hard on the final

guess we got lucky

not unheard of for LC hard in OA

[sand pendant]

fall semester at your school starts after mid Sept ?

[mossy compass]

interesting to do start dates after the offer is signed but ye thats what it seems like theyre doing

[stark basin]

we have quarter system

[midnight grove]

sheesh rng carried lets go

[stark basin]

[midnight grove]

except your finals

mine couldnt be any easier

mine was two sum level

[stark basin]

yeah finals I got a question I've never seen before
I had to keep pulling time complexities and possible data structures out my ass

i'm 70% sure I only got through because I pulled many data structures out my ass

they definitely don't have to be coding related

[crisp berry]

if you do get LC hard on the OA, can you submit non optimal solution and still get the interview

[stark basin]

bring up your group project in high school or something is fine

[stark basin]

yeah

[crisp berry]

so ig if LC hard the strat is to just brute force

if u cant think of optimal in 15 min

[stark basin]

well brute force first anyways I don't think they care about time used

[midnight grove]

just do very well on LP and BS the coding lol

[crisp berry]

brute force and optimize if theres time

makes sense

[stark basin]

it was LC medium definitely yeah

i never found it though

I can tell you my friend got Add Two Numbers and Diameter of Binary Tree

[midnight grove]

alright ill try after i get the survey if im not able to

[stark basin]

yeah

not a good thing to suck at

you'd probably be fine sucking at DP

i got 1

he got 2

i probably got 1 cause I got a bit stuck

well I immediately got the brute force and said its time complexity

but going for a more optimal I didn't immediately hop on the correct answer or anything, had to get a hint or three

[rustic topaz]

@lunar jetty are you part of the lgbtqia+?

[ember bison]

[marsh saddle]

I mean leetcode stream idea just seemed dumb I thought it was a bunch of people doing leetcode questions talking toghter

[rustic topaz]

Idk bro

[marsh saddle]

U hella good at leetcode so it helped see how u do it

[rustic topaz]

I joined the stream, it's just him speed runing medium-hard questions

[marsh saddle]

Yeah but his thinkin process is good

[rustic topaz]

Yeah with less talking

[marsh saddle]

Kinda lmao

[rustic topaz]

and less explanation

😮

[marsh saddle]

[rustic topaz]

[marsh saddle]

Free sandwich with job there

[rustic topaz]

[rustic topaz]

Yea

27$?

for intern

that's good

[vagrant wadi]

4500 per month

[rustic topaz]

?

??

[sinful locust]

really?

[marsh saddle]

Bro not every intern making hrt money

[vagrant wadi]

should be at least 7000

[sinful locust]

usually a year blacklist means you cant apply till next yearround season

[rustic topaz]

A lot of entry level jobs non swe get paid less than 20 🤷‍♀️

27$ is really good

[sinful locust]

For a fast food worker

[marsh saddle]

For chick fila its good

Free food so

[vagrant wadi]

oh I thought that was SWE intern job

[rustic topaz]

exactly even chick fila chicken cookers don't make that much

[rustic topaz]

It is

[marsh saddle]

It is swe intern

[sinful locust]

U program the secret formula

[rustic topaz]

Does everyoen really expect 40$ an hour for their first internship?

[vagrant wadi]

then 27 isn't enough for me🥲

[sinful locust]

N3 is doing every Lc problem

[rustic topaz]

Reverse K node in a LinkedList

[sinful locust]

No one wants to do that problem

Annoying ahh problem

[marsh saddle]

I was forced to for c1 lmao

[sinful locust]

so u cant apply for offseason

at least thats what ive heard

not sure

[rustic topaz]

@sinful locust

do this

https://leetcode.com/problems/brace-expansion-ii/

[sinful locust]

i agree, not sure

[cosmic lion]

are you at c1 rn?

[rustic topaz]

?

how did you come to this conclusion?

[cosmic lion]

oh nvm

[vagrant wadi]

I took a codeSignal practice test, and RotatedRectSum problem was fk hard although I solved it

[rustic topaz]

Bro

I was just kidding

[vagrant wadi]

You could get that hard question in OA?

[rustic topaz]

I just googled

hardest leetcode problem

on google

and sent you the link

https://tenor.com/view/pain-sad-anime-smoke-gif-20376521

[vagrant wadi]

just google RotatedRectSum

[crystal agate]

sigh

this codepath thing is really getting annoying sometimes

[rustic topaz]

@sinful locust do this after lol

https://leetcode.com/problems/rotate-image/

[vagrant wadi]

This one's tedious but not that difficult if you figure out how to easily rotate it

[sinful locust]

yo put this in #leetcode_discussion

[lean magnet]

bet, will try that, ty

[stark basin]

good luck

[rustic topaz]

Don't know how to rotate lol

[vagrant wadi]

Think about a different way to rotate

[vagrant wadi]

You don't have to literally rotate the array

[rustic topaz]

Yeah

don't you

do a double for loop

and extract it to the other matrix

or something

[sinful locust]

bruh

look at where the corners move to

reverse list and swap rows and columns

[rustic topaz]

I mean like that

but I suck at trying to say what i mean lmao

[sinful locust]

u can do it in place

[sinful locust]

yeah simplest way

lol

super simple nested for loop

if u wanna reverse ounter clockwise

then reverse each row

[rustic topaz]

watching him do this question makes my head hurt

[sinful locust]

then swap rows and cols for each grid

[rustic topaz]

😭

looks soo complicated

@sinful locust just skip to rotate image lol

[vagrant wadi]

this's the easiest way

[sinful locust]

rotate image is rly simple just do it intuitively like i mentioned above

[stark basin]

i hated rotate image then I leaned the linear algebra way and now I like it

[rustic topaz]

https://leetcode.com/problems/reverse-nodes-in-k-group/

[sinful locust]

ez monie

[rustic topaz]

stop flexing

[sinful locust]

im not

this question was on my dsa final

so i have the sln

INGRAINED IN ME

[devout fractal]

i was tryna interpolate an in-place rotation of an image at work today 😭

[sinful locust]

[devout fractal]

the actual roation fine, but the fact that it was non-linear interpoleation makes it paingee to implement

[eternal hornet]

is codesignal practice test literally rng

i'm retaking the practice and i got 3 questions done

my first, I only got 1 done

[rustic topaz]

n3 is actually goated

😭

[past comet]

[vapid yarrow]

I gave an assessment of the 2023 Software Development Engineer Internship (Amazon) position on 31st July. I found out today that I got the virtual interview invitation email on August 2nd but the mail had gone into the spam folder that I accidentally saw today.

My deadline for the availability survey expired on August 5th and as I was unaware of the invitation. I've already emailed them. It's been 2 days. Have not got any reply as of now. What should I do now?

[soft basin]

that was foul @rustic topaz

[rustic topaz]

Did you ace the OA?

[past comet]

Would say you missed your only chance imo

[stark basin]

[eternal hornet]

[stark basin]

[pseudo shoal]

@wraith gazelle cracked

[obsidian willow]

Copium

[hallow scroll]

[hearty river]

@hallow scroll

[hallow scroll]

hi

yeah I think so too

[hearty river]

Twitter rescinded and they had good product

[hallow scroll]

twitter is not good

its not profitable

p sure

[hearty river]

But the president uses Twitter

[hallow scroll]

every tech company uses slack tho

[pseudo shoal]

@hearty river hi 😄

[hearty river]

Doesn’t that make it good

[hallow scroll]

TRUE

imagine

[stark basin]

we use teams too
shit is wack

[hallow scroll]

I have my interview at 4 tmr is it worth speedrunning some tagged before interview

[pseudo shoal]

it always lags the messages

[hallow scroll]

slack > every form of communication tbh

[fierce token]

honestly just sleep

[hallow scroll]

apparently slack employees dont even use their gmails

[fierce token]

Wait who's the interview with

[hallow scroll]

everyone just communicates on slack lol

[hallow scroll]

shiiii

amazon

[stark basin]

waiting for a company to use discord
discord probably uses slack instead of discord

[fierce token]

ok sleep

[hallow scroll]

but what about tomorrow morning?

[pseudo shoal]

does microsoft use slack?

[hallow scroll]

more sleep?

[fierce token]

just sleep until the interview

[hallow scroll]

bet

[fierce token]

Real talk probably all you can do is common mediums because does Amazon even use tagged

[hallow scroll]

maybe for some sort of important message idk

[fierce token]

I probably got shit RNG last year but still

[stark basin]

isn't that the dudes that lost like 3 billion

[hallow scroll]

I think they ask tagged

oh yeah true

[fierce token]

[fierce token]

skype

[hallow scroll]

skype is garbage

I think so?

zoom next addition to faang

faangz

I mean during the pandemic tons of companies that shouldn't have grown to the size they did grew a lot

like 90% of unicorns

depends on the area

i use it a lot and I like the privacy of having something like an airbnb

up to the person ig and where youre going

yeah thats true, ig I dont like the idea that its a bunch of rooms next to each other

[stark basin]

i haven't even heard of amazon chime before they made me download it for the final

[hallow scroll]

yeah lol

yeah idk I dont want to have an apartment

👎

[stark basin]

i'm fine with an apartment
mostly because I want to live in the city

cheap safe fun
pick two

I don't think there's a city with all three

it's cheap if you have FAANG salary

[hallow scroll]

same I either wanna be in person in nyc or remote in nyc

I wanna be in nyc

[stark basin]

cost of living is fine but pay is pretty bad for swe
also my favorite city is Taipei

[hallow scroll]

lie everyday at standup 👍

yeah

[eternal hornet]

i do too

[hallow scroll]

sometimes on a productive day I wake up and eat something before standup

[stark basin]

just say
"i worked on xx yesterday and I hope to get done with it by tomorrow"
at every standup

[eternal hornet]

it's like, whenever there is a standup, my sleep schedule is fucked just enough for me to be sleepy during it

[hallow scroll]

but most the times I just roll out of bed and get it over with

[hallow scroll]

fr lol

[stark basin]

personal things goes hard

[hallow scroll]

yeah this minus 4

[fierce token]

#4 is too much

[hallow scroll]

💯

[stark basin]

that's basically what I do right now
but I get paid $15 an hour so I don't feel bad about it

yeah

cause my manager's manager is a hoe

and thinks he runs a big company

[rustic topaz]

Yo someone help me understand this wtf
