[jade elm]

is Amazon doing spring 2023 for their swe intern role?

[soft basin]

idt they are doing that as of now

🫥

got resume rejected 😔

[jade elm]

dang so winter/spring got canceled? just summer now? lame

[soft basin]

idek but when ppl ask to transfer to winter they arent accepting as of now

i have no clue for the future but based on their hiring freeze idk if they will even do winter

[jade elm]

Ahh I see, I've accepted that they've reserved winter for returners
hopefully they allow spring at least

[olive gyro]

rip I just got it after the behavioral for new grad

[quaint bolt]

Only for certain schools/coop schools

They’re allowing winter/spring, summer or fall for loo at least

[olive gyro]

Is it true that they ask React/Rest API/promises/SQL questions in hackerrank? I thought hackerrank was just leetcode kind of questions previously

[soft basin]

winter and spring are the same thing

[summer sequoia]

has anyone here gone through mongodb process before?

[static spindle]

I've had sql on hackerrank

[violet kelp]

apparently google opens on sept 19th now

[molten vapor]

Yo guys what to choose between Amazon and BNY Mellon dev internship?

[hallow scroll]

amazon

[harsh scarab]

hey for c1 is it true you only need 2 interviewers to pass you

[hardy patrol]

yea

oa -> final

same for amz

[harsh scarab]

currently doing my little dance i just destroyed my technical and case now i get an hour to chill before behavioral

i lowkey prefer the powerday format

[soft basin]

at least u didnt get system design for powerday

i think

i got richmond for c1 😭

[harsh scarab]

i got object oriented design

no lc

it felt easier to me

[soft basin]

i got system design for case

[harsh scarab]

my case interviewer was an absolute G

[soft basin]

im pretty sure technical and behavioral carried me

[hardy patrol]

i got my recruiter but we havent talked about scheduling yet and im thinking of like shooting them an email

[soft basin]

go for it

keep in mind i also did my powerday high as fuck

[hardy patrol]

lmao

[harsh scarab]

if its been over 48 hours definitely

ik theyre backed up

[hardy patrol]

been like a week ill email them after the gym

[harsh scarab]

only thing im a little salty about is they made me do my case in python

[molten vapor]

How'd you prepare for OOPs? I'm so rusty with it

[harsh scarab]

but it was mostly just reading the functions anyway

[harsh scarab]

honestly other than reviewing data structures you cant

the most important part is representing your inputs clearly and efficiently

the question will guide you through specific functions

[soft basin]

its not even real oop

[sinful locust]

how do yall ask to see if internship can be pushed from winter to summer

not sure how to phrase

[oak kite]

Hi can my application be also considered for summer as well

[midnight sonnet]

any tips for palantir karat?

[sinful locust]

2-3 questions

[midnight sonnet]

what kind of q's

hards?

meds?

[sinful locust]

is karat with an actual interviewer or its like hackerrank

[midnight sonnet]

what pattern?

[sinful locust]

its weird questions

[midnight sonnet]

karat with an actual interviewer

[sinful locust]

at least for duo it was long story type dsa questions

[spark hearth]

it was backtracking

[sinful locust]

dp cringe

[spark hearth]

what company>

[sinful locust]

did u get thru onsite

[spark hearth]

oh yah pltr does 3

[sinful locust]

duo karat was somewhat tricky

slightly harder meds

dfs / backtracking

[jaunty cove]

ppl always be talking about how tough karats are

[ivory basalt]

Is there any difference when applying w a 844 vs like a 847/848? Thinking about if i should retake or not

[jaunty cove]

i doubt its a big difference, plus you run the risk of getting lower thn 844

for example i think i will retake my 830 because there is more room for improvement, plus with a not great resume its important to do anything you can to stand out since i will prob be rejected regardless

[safe minnow]

I'm no expert on GCAs, but imo, I'm not sure if high scores on GCAs are necessarily something that stand you out, but rather is something that screens out everyone that has lower than x score

[sinful locust]

no

[wooden shard]

What about 840 vs 845

[sinful locust]

no

[pseudo shoal]

what about 848 vs 849

what about 848.9 vs 849.2

[tawny nimbus]

cringe is strong as usual today

[sinful locust]

no

stop

[kind sable]

hi

[hearty river]

ITS A WHOLE NEW WORLD

🗺️

THE EARTH IS FLAT

[pseudo shoal]

hi @hearty river

cs careers icon, can i have ur autograph?

[kind sable]

my inbox is dry today once again

[sinful locust]

same

spacex recruiter i ghosted (i thought it was swe and it says working on weekends on the job description)reached out again then when i responded she ghosted me back
its was for fulltime but she said they have intern for prodsec too

literally nothing from like 20+ apps

[heavy magnet]

got gusto oa then rejected

then i got it again and got a phone call lmaoo

[sinful locust]

broo where is apple msft nvidia blizzard ??? 💀

CISCO is ghosting me

fml

[safe minnow]

Don't they ghost most people

[sinful locust]

bro my last 2 internships i didnt like i just took them so i wouldnt be ghosted and here i am still ghosted

lyft ghosted too

in 2020 i had more phones than 2021 and 2022 combined

[safe minnow]

🤔 how many?

[sinful locust]

amzn and uber

[sinful locust]

idk but a ton
at least 30

[safe minnow]

How many did you apply to?

[sinful locust]

top tier to some companies like hrt google fb but not apple

[sinful locust]

i did apply to more but still im applying to the same ones and getting ghosted when i remember then replying before i had faangmula

[safe minnow]

That's fucked

Lmao

[sinful locust]

yes

it must be

it could be that security doesnt start until feb also
but ive been applying to swe just to see if they respond and im getting ghosted

[bold barn]

how long do i stay in a zoom call if my interviewer doesn’t show

im thinking 20 mins, then passive-aggressive email to recruiter

[sinful locust]

the only phones ive had so far this year were from fulltime tbh

bc recruiters only sent resume not message in the cold email with my grad date being december

[bold barn]

these fuckers better give me an easier question on the reschedule

[random sonnet]

bruh i finished a codesignal in half an hour and that only gets me an 843??? do u have to finish in like 10 minutes or smth to get close to 850 🤢

[sinful locust]

idk never done a codesignal that shit seems rigged

[jaunty cove]

i got 840 for samsara codesignal 😍

[jaunty cove]

yes

[random sonnet]

lol goddamn

my dumbass got hyped thinkin i got close to 850 💀

[jaunty cove]

i plotted our results against someone who got 847 in 10 minutes, and the assumption that 0 minutes == 850, looks like finishing fast has diminishing returns

my theory is wrong

[random sonnet]

damn codesignal is wack fr

[hollow field]

Yeah I got an 848 in 15min

[jaunty cove]

i guess this is all screwed up cause code quality takes or gives a few points, and we are dealing with a small range of values (840-849), which makes it hard for us to figure out the relationship between time completed and score

[random sonnet]

for sure

[jaunty cove]

what do the diagonal lines represent?
@coarse marten

[coarse marten]

Yep

[jaunty cove]

thats interesting

makes sense tho

[coarse marten]

This diagram is from

Your score is determined on how others performed on the same questions

[jaunty cove]

i guess its not very useful to speculate the exact formula, just know the general strategy to get above 840 or smth

[coarse marten]

That's why there can be variance during pending period

[clever grail]

https://codesignal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/general-coding-assessment-framework.pdf

just read the formula smh

[jaunty cove]

[near cairn]

has anyone heard back after instabase oa?

[naive kayak]

still waiting on OA lol

[harsh scarab]

how long after c1 powerday should i expect an answer

[clever grail]

it's right there 😄

[timid river]

Just got the email for amazon intern final interview survey, but the link sends me to an expired survey lol.

[naive kayak]

when did u take oa?

[jaunty cove]

ima just focus on solving the problems lol

[timid river]

2 weeks ago

[stone echo]

same here

same with me

im dealing with the same thing rn, not sure what to do lol

[naive kayak]

email them

[stone echo]

yeah i did on teh catchall email

[jaunty cove]

this mod is farming offers

[timid river]

yeah ill email them

[bold eagle]

resume reject :/

[safe minnow]

Can asking my final to be scheduled earlier due to deadlines disqualify me as an applicant?

[jaunty cove]

yes

anything can disqualify you

[bold eagle]

Yep, happened with me and Roblox

[sinful locust]

bruh zoox ghosted me after phone

i sent followup today no response its been 8 days

[bold eagle]

Generally though most companies would expedite

Sorry to hear that

I'm in the same boat with Audible

[quaint bolt]

Who

[jaunty cove]

you

[soft basin]

wassup gamers

[jaunty cove]

[soft basin]

school has been fucking me in the ass

[safe minnow]

[bold eagle]

I'm still annoyed about them

They delayed my assessment results twice saying they'd have an update by the end of the week, then I show up with a deadline and they decide to suddenly make a decision

It was OA phase too

Is life ig but still, very annoying.
Oh well, at least I got confirmation instead of a ghost

[safe minnow]

How many weeks did it take you to get your results?

[sick oar]

bro my msft recruiting coordinator sucks holy shit

[bold eagle]

3 - they said they'd give it by eow 1 week after submitting, and then 1 week aftr that

[safe minnow]

💀

[bold eagle]

Has MSFT been giving out interviews?

[north portal]

doesnt he know ur the vp product at amazon!

[sick oar]

yeah

[quaint bolt]

For a while now

[bold eagle]

Dang ight

[sick oar]

for like 2-2.5 weeks

first interview week was last tuesday/wed

[bold eagle]

guess I wait, I applied August 2nd so there's probably a lotta apps ahead of me

[quaint bolt]

Really? I didn’t reply to them in a day and they kept emailing me to schedule my phone

[sick oar]

this week was tues/wed/thurs

[north portal]

bro i havent even gotten an OA Or anything from them

[rugged knoll]

@timid river @stone echo what did you guys do for the surveys? Did you email the dp-sde-intern email?

[sick oar]

My old RC was great but they gave me a new one and she ghosted mago

lmfao^

[bold eagle]

y'all have recruiting coordinators?

[north portal]

should I follow up with Amazon about interviews if its been 3ish weeks and I already followed up once and got an automated response

[atomic fox]

In the amazon interviews do they just ask a programming question or are they gonna ask me like best sorting algo scenarios, etc

[bold eagle]

That's not very custoer obsessed of them

[north portal]

lmao

[bold eagle]

Def follow up

Follow up like every 3 days

No, make that 2

[quaint bolt]

Only bigger companies have em

I’ve had one for google and msft

[north portal]

they said not to spam tho, and i dont wanna risk losing a final interview

[quaint bolt]

Otherwise it’s just recruiter

[north portal]

amazon hasnt had one

i think

[bold eagle]

Oh I know those - I thought you were talking about coordinator for schools

[north portal]

they didnt even give recruiters tbh

[bold eagle]

Most of the time my coordinator is [e-mail]

[halcyon wedge]

I ain’t even got an oa after 4 days 😐

[jaunty cove]

thats nothing 💀

[tardy ridge]

do people message recruiters on linkedin from msft and other big tech to get interviews or first rounds and stuff

[north portal]

i havent gotten linkedIn oa after like 2 weeks 😔

[tardy ridge]

ive been getting ghosted everywhere

so im kinda desperate lol

[quaint bolt]

Oh yeah I think we’ve got a quite a lot of recruiters for our school

[halcyon wedge]

We on the same train then 👻

[bold eagle]

My friend does that and he has a 20% success rate

[tardy ridge]

oh wow

thats pretty good

did he end up getting an interview or an OA or msth

[bold eagle]

Yeah my school doesn't have many - we do have Amazon and Capital One frequently recruiting but that's only in the last year

[bold eagle]

Yeah, that's how he got Google, Atlassian, MSFT, etc

[tardy ridge]

because i got ghosted by MSFT

and amazon didnt send me OA

[bold eagle]

MSFT ghosts alot

[halcyon wedge]

Does he just spam as many recruiters as he can?

[tardy ridge]

wait so what do you ask the recruiters tho

[halcyon wedge]

Been trying to hit up recruiters, but no luck so far

[tardy ridge]

like what do you say in the message i mean

[bold eagle]

Yes. Anytime he sees a Workday or Taleo, he finds a recruitr who works in his interested domain and spams em

[tardy ridge]

you know what kind of message he sends them?

[halcyon wedge]

Just show interest in a job, ask about your application and send your resume

[bold eagle]

He gave a general template, lemme see if I can find it

[bold eagle]

but this is the good advice

[tardy ridge]

oh yea if you can

[tired narwhal]

try to download mailpanion to track if ppl are opening it up

https://github.com/justinwlin/Linkedin-Email-Scrapper

also can try this xD, also is a bit early

[tardy ridge]

hm okay

do you guys use linkedin premium?

i dont have premium

deadass might have to get it though, its been rough out here 😦

[tired narwhal]

i used to, doesnt really help

[tardy ridge]

how do you send longer messages though

[halcyon wedge]

Just use the free month

Unlikely that you’ll need it for longer

[halcyon wedge]

It is nice to use the inMail tho

[halcyon wedge]

Will check on that, thanks

[tired narwhal]

yup~

[bold eagle]

nvm can't find it

[tardy ridge]

hm okay

its fine

[tired narwhal]

i also have a cold emailing guide if u wanna dm me for it.

[tardy ridge]

so just send resume, ask about application, and show interest in job/internship

[bold eagle]

Just elev pitch

[tardy ridge]

linkedin message is like 200 characters or smth right

you can like fit two sentences in that

i think

[bold eagle]

Be like "<Year> seeking <Position>, previous work at <company previous> OR specialized in <domain>. Let's connect"

[tardy ridge]

Oh what that's enough 💀

[jaunty cove]

the only person whos interned at citadel from my school had 2 companies by the time he entered college and 3 internships from faang / hft B)

[stone echo]

yeah thats what I tried

[rugged knoll]

I did the same, let me know if you get any info back

[stone echo]

same here

[vivid bramble]

Anyone else with Amazon on resume and target school not getting any OAs

Idk if my resume is shit or if it's common

[oak kite]

mind sharing anonymous resume?

[tired narwhal]

isnt it so early lol. why are u expecting OA rn

[vivid bramble]

Idk I applied to like 10 places

[tired narwhal]

OAs usually come like late sept to mid oct range; unless automated like akuna or something

[tired narwhal]

lol ur fine - give bit of time id say 🙂

[oak kite]

@vivid bramble are you a junior?

[severe drum]

i have amazon on resume and i applied like 30 places

not a lot of news back

😄

[oak kite]

what are the biggest places that you expected to hear back that you didn't?

im interested to know because i got an amazon offer, but im not sure if i should accept it and be done with the process

cuz if the amazon name is not good enough to get most oas then that kinda sucks :C

[jaunty cove]

30 places isnt that much

[severe drum]

You actually do pass quite a few resume filters tbh

that you won't pass wo amazon

[jaunty cove]

plus amazon good but not like top tier

[severe drum]

i mean thats not why i said that LOL

im just saying...

[near swallow]

if ur soph and got amazon intern yeah you'll be fine

i mean even as junior, more than fine

but you're asking like maybe ur tired of job search

[soft basin]

unfortunately im a jr

[near swallow]

which is fine

yeah amazon interns go onto any company tbh

they go to HRT for gods sake

no cap

[soft basin]

but yeah im tired of internship hunt plus school so im gonna stop looking for internships

[tired narwhal]

itsss kirrbbbb

https://tenor.com/view/kirby-terminal-montage-gif-18704698

[soft basin]

ive secured amazon and c1

altho i have to write an email to reject cuz they dont give option in portal

[tired narwhal]

oh nice~

for amazon? im pretty sure they do back then?

or for c1? lol

[soft basin]

i was referring to c1 lol

id rather have amazon than c1

[sinful locust]

tell c1 to fuck off and stop paying 🥜

[low vale]

Understandable

How many weeks you've been doing both?

[soft basin]

oh my job hunt stopped like aug 22

and thats when school started

i casually apply now

but like ill apply to google and meta thats pretty much all

[sinful locust]

you got return offer?

[soft basin]

no i got amazon offer

[sinful locust]

nice

when i got amazon i continued interviewing lol

for like 2 months seriously

[low vale]

Hopefully I get amazon my interview with them is monday

[severe drum]

doesn't c1 pay a crazy amount

more than az

amzn

[low vale]

They didn't give me any time to prep tho

[static spindle]

yes lol

[soft basin]

but their new grads make the same amount as interns

[severe drum]

thats tough

[static spindle]

yeah they suck for new grad

[soft basin]

im keepin amazon cuz its better on resume than c1

[tired narwhal]

gl gl, amazon pretty much is stay organized, pass that one round + LP 😛 u got it (if intern) lol

[low vale]

C1 been upping their ng pay tho, maybe in 1-2 years their pay will be comparable

[coarse vigil]

Palantir lath oa not the move

[sinful locust]

any oa is not the move

i aint doing a 3 hr test to get rejection

[low vale]

Oh damn when did path open

[old fog]

anyone done with Mathworks final round?

[bleak storm]

hi yall

what is the consensus on Amazon vs Dropbox

[sinful locust]

dropbox

[bleak storm]

currently have offer for last internship 2023

[oak kite]

I choose Amazon tbh

[bleak storm]

dropbox offer 8500/month, amz is standard

[oak kite]

What does your previous internships look like

[slow quarry]

i better pass palantir onsite

[bleak storm]

i had snap and confluent

[oak kite]

hm

[slow quarry]

i think best performance till date

for this season

[oak kite]

I guess it really doesn’t matter where you choose I think you could do better than either drop box or Amazon

[bleak storm]

congratsss palantir is sexy as hell

[jaunty cove]

drop box probably a nicer place to work ft

[slow quarry]

bombing kids in middle east with me

[oak kite]

Palantir on-site is insanely hard

I did mine a month ago

[slow quarry]

wait can i dm? i felt like it wasnt that bad

finsihed 12m ago

[oak kite]

I failed mine but sure lol

[bleak storm]

i'm just wondering is amz name worth it to take over dropbox, considering i already had snap and confluent 😦

dropbox ppl seems really nice

[sinful locust]

whats memoized time complexity of "partition k equal sum subsets"

[static spindle]

lmao you have snap and dropbox

[slow quarry]

i would do dropbox ; u can always go amazon later

for their monster sde2 slat

[bleak storm]

amz is balling this year

i really want to get a single chance to interview with trading firm

and the only one I got is two sigma and i fcking bombed it

[sinful locust]

trading interviews hard

[bleak storm]

yall have any recommendation to increase the chance I land the interview?

maybe bc im coming from no top school, avg gpa 3.5...

[static spindle]

be crazy good at leetcode

get interview at akuna

[bleak storm]

i never landed any other interview beside 2sig ....

they don't even take a chance on me LMAO

[static spindle]

sadge 😔

[jaunty cove]

is embedded internship good for other internships bc u know how to write in lower level languages and its assumed that means you can probably right well in higher level teck stack, or bad bc u didnt work with a high level tech stack

[bleak storm]

i think it's better

[static spindle]

tbh if you have embedded and like react + sql I think you'd be good for a lot of stuff

[bleak storm]

diversified experience

[jaunty cove]

hes talking about trading tho

[static spindle]

he's tryna do trading firms

[tired narwhal]

oops

lol

[jaunty cove]

ok interesting

[tired narwhal]

pray to god haha

[jaunty cove]

you mean across two different internships right

[bleak storm]

thanks for the advice though

[tired narwhal]

Trading firm just, pray and email xD

[static spindle]

[oak kite]

honestly how come you’re not interning again at snap?

[bleak storm]

i mean if you read the news

[oak kite]

I would rather go to snap than Dropbox or Amazon

[bleak storm]

i think you already know the reason

[static spindle]

nah, just on a resume

[bleak storm]

[jaunty cove]

the companies say they wanna interview as many potential traders as possible but it still seems awfully hard to get an interview 💀

[static spindle]

LMAO no snap return offers

[oak kite]

yeah but Dropbox isn’t doing that well either

OH

yeah

I totally forgot about the layoffs

[bleak storm]

Dropbox is quite good for the financial actually

they're not like sexy anymore

[oak kite]

Really? Their revenue is going down

[bleak storm]

but still profitable

[oak kite]

I thought they were all remote

[static spindle]

lunch has been abolished

[oak kite]

Maybe take Amazon and renege for a better company lol

[low vale]

Oh nice how'd you think you did? I got mine on the 13th

Wait it's right after amzn

Fuck off

I don't have time to study for both

[slow quarry]

I would pass myself

[low vale]

Was the system design challenging?

Gl with the offer

[vivid bramble]

Yep and have gpa >3.9 thought I would get past resume screen

[static spindle]

depends, if youre applying to hrt google and netflix and shit just amazon and gpa might not be enough to pass screen

[sick oar]

if u wanna dm me school i can tell u if i’ve seen a lot of ppl from urs

[static spindle]

i think they've already had amazon?

[wooden shard]

same not getting OAs with amazon and target

[sick oar]

[slow quarry]

wtf

i told em its my first design interview and clarified what they wanted beforehand

[soft basin]

i was asked what would happen if a certain server lost power and shit

[slow quarry]

and then designed and made sure every single interaction and data was good and how they interacted + sql/nosql

[soft basin]

and they were asking abt backing up data and shit

i was like wtf

[slow quarry]

i never got anything relating to this wtf

dont tell me i failed

[soft basin]

yeah i was actual system design

ik the diff between ood and sd

[sinful locust]

any idea on what gusto technical is like?

[slow quarry]

like ik abt fault tolerance and shti but the only shit i touched for sys design was sql vs nosql

[soft basin]

yeah i was designing a client login or some shit

and i talked abt load balancing

[slow quarry]

oh literally a login system??

i designed like an app and its interactions

[wooden shard]

i apply right when they open

[low vale]

Skip q3 go straight for 4

[gritty atlas]

[coarse vigil]

Does anyone know how to fork and execute a child process

In c++

[versed kestrel]

Google

Its simple enough lol

[coarse vigil]

[sullen grail]

Does amzn intern final not have technical? In the confirmation email i got, under interview format, it says “Interviews consist of behavioral questions.” And explains the amzn LPs. So no technical?

[wraith gazelle]

There will be technical

[slow quarry]

u just need to stab the child first

then when its down behead it

[white urchin]

[ashen tulip]

[coarse vigil]

I gave up on the last palntir OA question

[white urchin]

[slow quarry]

[low vale]

Supposedly it's easier than oa and Karat

Was it easier than oa and karat?

I thought you took it later lol

Yeah pretty implementation heavy

I liked it

You don't have to finish I think

As long as you get 3 you're good I'm pretty sure

[sick oar]

define final

super-day?

[sick oar]

LMAO I SAW THIS EARLIER

dude used a SWORD

[ashen tulip]

I think so? just whatever is after phone screen

[sick oar]

yeah that's not the final afaik

[ashen tulip]

ah shit

[sick oar]

i'm pretty sure there's a hiring manager or recruiter call after

i have mine wed

[ashen tulip]

hm they said it was up to like three hrs in length

[spark hearth]

anyone do akuna capital data infra engineer internship interview

[sick oar]

yeah it's a super day

but there's still stuff after

[ashen tulip]

oh I see

[sick oar]

as far as i'm aware

it goes

phone --> super day (team matching process??) --> if a team likes you, recruiter or HM call --> maybe a recruiter or HM depending on who attended your super day, otherwise n/a

but maybe the last two are on teh same day

[ashen tulip]

so past the super day though is there any tech?

[sick oar]

i don't believe so

can you dm me what your super day confirmation said

i wanna see if it's same as what mine said

[ashen tulip]

ye fs

oh wtf no shot

couple wks from now

I did ask what to expect and they just said behav and tech qs

but I was wondering if it's like LC or OS shit too or like sys design idk

[stone echo]

this is for amazon?

[safe minnow]

Wait is the scale phone an actual phone call

Tf

[limpid crater]

Is Akuna auto? My OA took like 3 weeks

[static spindle]

I’m p sure it’s auto

[gritty dagger]

Anyone get the new neetcode subscription?

[static spindle]

My python was immediate, C++ took like 2 weeks

But they send it to everyone so therefore auto

[limpid crater]

Ah make sense thank u

[sick oar]

yeah if u aced the OA its purely behavioral

going over your OA at most

yeah but like

ace oa could mean

eh on technical

ace the oa2

[stone echo]

wait this is for the intern interview? damn

that would be insane

i have mine coming up

i got 26/30 and aced OA2

omg that would be amazing

yeah

i have strong behavioral skills

[sick oar]

wait @sinful locust does ur say

[stone echo]

intuition

[sick oar]

30 mins

or 45

[stone echo]

The virtual interview will run 45 minutes and you will be expected to answer questions related to design, data structures, algorithms and basic coding, as well as behavioral questions. You will need to be prepared with a computer with reliable internet access and a working web cam for the virtual interview.

does urs say this?

[sick oar]

^^

[low vale]

is this for amazon?

mine doesn't either lol

if your coding on the oa was good do they just give behaviorals lmao

[stone echo]

[dull pike]

Anyone in bay area hear back from microsoft yet?

[tulip aspen]

applied for explore; no response yet

[placid pelican]

Why would being in the Bay Area matter

[sick oar]

am in the same microsoft recruiting region (west + central) and i've heard back yes

[dull pike]

Recruiter based on area

[sick oar]

recruiting regions

[placid pelican]

Oh I see

[dull pike]

Does yours say "bay area hub"?

[placid pelican]

Is Belvedere oa auto ?

[sick oar]

nah mine says west + central

[dull pike]

[hardy patrol]

[placid pelican]

[little yew]

dwai

[low delta]

How was the DRW OA?

Similar to citadel?

[soft basin]

any of yall have a rejection letter format?

[unreal steeple]

So is Amazon just 2stages now. OA and 1X45 virtual interview for interns?

[tired narwhal]

it was always this lol for internd

hasnt changed haha

[unreal steeple]

Ohh wow. Thank you

I always thought it was like 4rounds

[tired narwhal]

New grad / ft

internship across all companies are usually 1-2 rounds for final, (exception bloomberg intern/ft is same process)

[unreal steeple]

Ahh I see. Cause my friend that got an offer, did that. That’s why I stayed clear

[unreal steeple]

Gotchu. Ty

[safe minnow]

🤔

How many rounds is Bloomberg?

[tired narwhal]

1 phone round, i believe was 1-2 questions; and then 3 final rounds algo, an HR talk after to collect information (not really an interview); and then a final hiring manager round a diff day

[safe minnow]

3 final rounds in one day?

[tired narwhal]

yup

[soft basin]

goddamn thats a long process

[safe minnow]

Interesting

[tired narwhal]

shorter than G

BB is quite fast

lol

honestly

[safe minnow]

Good interview practice at the very least

[woeful lynx]

All this for an internship 😱 imagine how hard it will be for new grad 😂

[tired narwhal]

NG is same process for BB

they have the same for intern / NG

[soft basin]

me next year

[woeful lynx]

Oh thought for new grad it gets harder…

[tired narwhal]

honestly tho i think BB is also pretty nice. very standard mediums, maybe at most upper mediums. But nothing insane.

Like amazon in terms of difficulty on avg - tho amazon intern is way easier obvs with 1 round

[soft basin]

im just hoping i do well with amazon this summer

[tired narwhal]

just stay align with manager + team, show ur not useless, and ull be solid. get as much of the project done, usually 90% of the way there finishing the project ull be good

[soft basin]

best case is that c1 also skips powerday for next yr

[sick oar]

does anyone have a scale ai recruiter

[safe minnow]

Wdym

[sick oar]

email

for one

trying to apply for a position that doesnt exist

not yet figured id ask first

ill probably use apollo and grab someones email if i can't

[woeful lynx]

You can on LinkedIn click on the company and then search the people by “work type” this allows you to search without premium

[sick oar]

wlel

ok

whats more efficient

reaching out to a recruiter

or a product manager

i wanna intern in product

[gray kernel]

lol.. my mentor at amazon was put on pip in the last half of my internship

or focus*

[severe drum]

@woven quest for db techs did u get the topics that ur recruiter told u was gonna be on the tech

[tired narwhal]

just make ur ur communicating expectations / stuff, and no surprises, and if stuff changes communicate

it basically always communicate consistently that things are well, ur hitting goals, etc

and also take initiative to push and ask

[sick oar]

help people D:

[severe drum]

Oh wtf

Do u think me asking my recruiter if the technical is exclusive to the topics he recommended to me would be bad

[winter nexus]

same

[sick oar]

guys i have balls o steel

where should i email next

[tough ledge]

if the app takes more than 2 minutes to fill out then yea

[tired narwhal]

yea lol sounds like ur way out ur league

with those jobs haha

but yeah, from experience i tried before -> doesnt go anywhere

lol phd jobs are quite rare tho haha, wonder what ur looking at

[safe minnow]

Does this language thing ever matter

I speak another language but I'm kinda rusty at it

[late terrace]

yea i think it is

it probably never is

because applications are standardized for every role so for roles where it matters, then it would make a difference

[near swallow]

apparently people are leaving this server because it's too toxic
and i'm here to say
absolutely nothing

👍

[gleaming tangle]

@quaint bolt hey can i dm you ?

[tardy orbit]

Anyone know anyone who’s willing to submit a quick amazon referral

[heavy magnet]

[jaunty cove]

every company that rejects me this year is going in a list of companies that i will not feel guilty taking offers from to job hop in the future

[spark hearth]

twitch oa was braindead lol

[zealous trail]

Why would u feel guilty abt taking a job

[spark hearth]

show resume

[jaunty cove]

using them as leverage for like 8 10 months

[zealous trail]

So?

It’s a company

[jaunty cove]

ya

thats my point

[zealous trail]

Companies don’t have feelings

[jaunty cove]

i do and i would feel guilty fking over a company where i really like the employees

[spark hearth]

dm me

tell coinbase

[jaunty cove]

what part

at a smaller company it would mean more

not discussing salaries is super toxic

same w employers not posting salaries

very clearly on the job description

Pog

Ive never been to a career fair but ik amazon goss there too

I dont get what u do there

Do u just walk around and shove ur resume in peoples face and talk about how cool u are

Ok lowkey

There arw a good amount of cool companies coming to the one at ucsb in october

Check handshake

[uneven sand]

the only cool company at my career fair is meta

so I’m just going to camp their booth

@hearty river

Do they do drone strikes?

@hearty river analyze dn

[sinful locust]

Be curious

[warped dagger]

DriedCoconut asks: Yall praying i get amazon final?

[sinful locust]

i got the leadership principles down but on questions that have 2 right answers idk which one to choose

[jaunty cove]

Now u guys see what i mena when i said its ambigious

[earnest hatch]

Nah I don't give a shit if you get an Amazon final or an offer tbh, but good luck

[oak kite]

some people from amazon get 2 sum

[uneven sand]

my mind isn’t the only thing growing

I would start with a n! Solution

[jaunty cove]

nah growth mindset overwork urself be ultra innovative start a unicorn while being a principal at amazon

[hollow sorrel]

3 of behaviorial 💀

[jaunty cove]

gaslighting your interviewer

[zealous trail]

Passing is the hard part

[broken knot]

@inner kernel how long did it take for them to get back after 2s final

[placid pelican]

hella research.

[broken knot]

its been two weeks for me

[placid pelican]

i have a friend who just did compilers/low level research (with the creator of LLVM)

[broken knot]

hopefully

[placid pelican]

and he interned 2s last summer

havent asked him

what r target schools

[north portal]

top 10 schools

[jaunty cove]

Wtf

[north portal]

would UIUC count as a target?

since its like top5 cs

[jaunty cove]

Thats insane

[placid pelican]

my bad. it was

ML research

with the creator of LLVM

[zealous trail]

Yes

[placid pelican]

yes lol. we go to uiuc

[north portal]

oh nice

[sinful locust]

yo is stripe oa hard?
last time it was easy but i was too slow - but that was 2020

[placid pelican]

brazty

2S is prolly the most merocratic of all NYC firms

[jaunty cove]

i want to do research but idk about math research it seems a little too abstract and difficult for me rn to contribute meaningfully, i will try to do research in cs

[zealous trail]

Cit?

[placid pelican]

oh i thought that was primarily Chi

but sure

that counts if its in NYC

[north portal]

if ur not at a target school, do u basically need a faang or higher to get past resume screen?

[zealous trail]

They have a large nyc presence too

[north portal]

damn ok

[zealous trail]

Akuna is not nyc tho

[jaunty cove]

is it sus if i get a full time job and also go to grad school part time and then have them overlapping on my resume

[placid pelican]

rip Cit in Chi. Moving to Miami 😦

[ionic wasp]

Can confirm Akuna is meritocratic. I go to a dogshit school and got an offer

[placid pelican]

W

[ionic wasp]

For swe though not quant

[uneven sand]

can confirm that akuna is meritocratic. I go to a dogshit school and didn’t get an offer

[jaunty cove]

what kind if companies should i look at interning at to learn lower level stuff and become more competitive for quant dev roles, other than the quant dev internships themselves? seems like a lot of more prestigious company internships are doing high level stuff

[spark hearth]

what does meritocracy meaning?
