What companies would you guys take over Amazon?

marsh saddle
#

But nah I go to the gym 6 days a week and play basketball

rustic topaz
#

any quant

#

apple

#

netflix

#

uber

#

salesforce

marsh saddle
weak tulip
#

That's sort of what I think

rustic topaz
weak tulip
#

No way

#

Also where does Palantir rank in all of this? Seems like they have a pretty high bar in interviews so an internship there should hold some weight no?

eternal hornet

any place that gives me money

Salesforce vs amazon is tough

rapid swan
#

i c

rapid swan
#

salesforce

vestal hatch
#

never heard anyone that actually enjoys their time there and every person is like “its team dependent” like if every team sucks at amazon the company sucks

rustic topaz
#

isn't salesforce more prestigous?

rapid swan
#

nah a lot of ppl enjoy their time at amazon

plush viper
rapid swan
#

u just cant be on aws or some shit and expect a good time

rapid swan
#

lol

plush viper
#

Literally talked ab this yesterday in this chat and that was the p clear consensus

vestal hatch
#

amazons resume value decreases by the day

rapid swan
#

also amazon doesnt give u control over which team ur gonna get placed in

vestal hatch
#

literally anyone can get in

plush viper
#

Also amazon pays a good amount more regardless

rapid swan
hallow scroll
plush viper
#

If you intern you have a good shot at a good team bc u can try 2-3 teams depending when u start

hallow scroll
#

If you factor in both stipends it’s like a 5 hourly difference

plush viper
#

I got lucky with a good team my first year

rapid swan
#

well key word if u intern

plush viper
#

Amazon return intern offers are 210-220k ish what’s sf?

rapid swan
#

also that assumes that you're gonna intern at amazon every summer

hallow scroll
#

Since we are in intern chat

plush viper
#

Ik

#

I’m asking what’s salesforce

rapid swan
vestal hatch
#

i think salesforce has crazy wlb and they dont even do new grad bc they only convert interns

astral dew
vestal hatch
#

whereas amazon hires if you breathe

hallow scroll
#

Sales force also has good job security imo

rapid swan
#

I would be more worried about amazon tbh

Pip moment Sadge

rapid swan
#

they already started laying recruiters off

astral dew
rapid swan

and also pip

what do u guys consider a target school

hallow scroll
astral dew
tawny nimbus
#

even if its never listed on the college list? 😭

#

on applications

rapid swan
plush viper
#

Question is do u have an easier time interviewing after amazon or salesforce, pip or not they don’t know

rapid swan
#

thats the problem with pip

astral dew
#

Well meta boutta do the same thing 😭

rapid swan
#

even if everyone is performing at a decent enough lvl

rapid swan
#

they just call it a diff name

astral dew
#

Interesting

rapid swan
#

but yeah theyre gonna start increasing it

astral dew
#

I didn’t know that

rapid swan
#

ye okayge

#

meta's kinda sus rn

eternal hornet
#

Like in general

trim vigil
plush viper
#

But yeah idt salesforce new grad/return is as good as amazon so if u have a good amazon team it’s prolly worth

#

Hard to say which is better tho

rapid swan
astral dew
# rapid swan meta's kinda sus rn

I mean, it make sense tbh. Stock down 50% and mark said they gonna lose like 1bill per year for their metaverse idea… gotta cut cost somewhere. And also google said similar thing that they have way too many employees

rapid swan
#

I forget if thats just interns or company wide

rapid swan
#

when meta cant afford the material girl lifestyle #sad

#

Like data visualization companies

#

Sounds kinda aids

#

What’s red

#

Dang why riot

#

Very interesting list

#

How come

#

I should make a tier list too lol

#

Are u from LA rn?

#

What makes u want to work in LA area

#

Riot seems goated for ur case

#

Same tbh

#

Never been to the east coast

#

Pretty much LA my whole life

#

I’ve visited Seattle and sf for like 1 week total over the years

#

ELI5 Austin v Dallas and which u prefer

#

Yeah I’m born and raised in LA

#

and go to Uni in LA

#

i used to think it was whatever

#

But LA culture is cool

#

Diverse and just much more chill vibes

#

Than like the bay

#

LA is cool, I live in the valley which is more suburb

#

LA is vast

#

Hollywood kinda is a shithole

#

The whole movie concept of “Hollywood” is probably the biggest cap I’ve ever ismsvined

#

Would u wanna settle down in Dallas?

#

Remote work always an option fwiw

#

G phone tmrw

#

Kinda underprepped ngl

#

I wanted to do way more by now

#

But fuck it idc too much at this point

#

One of those it is what it is

#

If it’s meant to be type beat

#

Appreciate it

#

If I don’t get some Weird OOD shit or DP I think I’ll be good

#

Part of me wants to just stop all recruiting and call it a year LMAO

#

Other part of me is fomo

#

Snap is S tier for me since I wanna stay in LA

#

@sinful locust tinder is also in LA

#

Yeah tons

#

Spotify does but they’re super selective

#

Like very few interns

#

Nope Ik a few snap interns

#

They’re pretty cool

#

Probably the biggest tech company in LA for comp and all that too

#

Tinder is cool but kinda lower comp

#

Our LA office is dope

#

Very cool culture

#

Big hype

#

#

I think Netflix interns aren’t LA tho for some reason

#

cs, business, engineering all good

#

some niche humanities things are good too

proud whale
#

Why can’t you take the summers

sinful locust
#

but like its not overall very competitive is the problem

honest spire
proud whale
#

Nah

sinful locust
#

i think in app year 2022 the overall admit rate was 35%

honest spire
#

since uiuc got a ton of opportunities

proud whale

proud whale
sinful locust
#

i basically created my schedule in a way where i can declare graduation after 5 semesters but if i dont like what im getting offer wise i can extend up to 7

#

so my grad date is logically in between dec '24 and dec'25

golden tusk
# proud whale What do u love ab it

Idk if I’ll love it lol, just heard stuff like great public transit (compared to rest of U.S.), stuff opens later with more stuff going on, better gender ratio than the bay, not a tech bubble so ppl do all kinds of things

proud whale
#

The non tech bubble is cool

#

Cfed having a quarter life crisis

sinful locust
#

private school moment

proud whale
#

Fracker is a Bay Area prep school head

#

Surrounded by giga chads

sinful locust
#

so idk if those count

#

the teaching was shit it was just the students lol

proud whale
#

Idk if some are really whatever tho

#

Ur scale might be fucked fracker

#

Compared to average hs here

#

Where there’s like 0 prep

honest spire
#

that's basically it

sinful locust
#

def not as good as NYC or boston area

#

those are cracked

proud whale
#

What prep schools are in LA and known

honest spire
#

sinful locust
#

i know a guy at a prep school in NYC and he said they had like 60 cornells or something

#

its definately possible

proud whale
#

Ik my HS was top 2% US and top 2% Cali but that’s not saying much

#

Lmfao the logo screams prep school

#

We just had a silly ass mascot

#

Ima check this out

sinful locust
#

proud whale
#

Bruh

#

I’ve driven by that shit so much

#

Didn’t know it was a prep school

honest spire
#

o ye you have

sinful locust
#

i know a person who went to a prep school in boston and was gonna major in cs

proud whale
#

So are there priv schools that aren’t prep schools for hs

#

#

Is that just basically prep school

honest spire
proud whale
#

#

Okay this is great actually

#

Fracker

#

Is it worth it? Would u want it for ur own kids? Pros and cons?

honest spire
#

eternal hornet
#

okay quick question

#

i looked at my codesignal test assessment and realized that I had "high speed"

open locust
#

Yeah I’m scared too

eternal hornet
#

where it thought I spent like 6-7 minutes on a problem

#

when in reality I was just trying to figure it out on a whiteboard before actually typing

#

does it actually think I did the problems super fast and giving me extra points for that?

#

only 3/4

#

i submitted the 4th one but had barely started on it

#

so got 0 test cases right

#

um, i had 15 minutes left for the last one

#

i solved the first one pretty fast

#

i guess i spent an average of 20 minutes on each question

#

but they were pretty easy medium problems

#

which is weird cuz my first practice test felt a lot harder

#

i'm still a solid 79 points behind my goal codesignal score

slow quarry
eternal hornet
#

Is there some sort of trick behind it?

rustic topaz
#

I don't believe it when people are getting left and right viewo f a binary tree
