[slow veldt]

interviewer barely even looked at me during my int 😭 he was doing his own work

[quaint bolt]

basically

[north portal]

oh damn

[slow veldt]

at one point he was like "yea you don't have to explain everything honestly, just tell me when you're done"

[quaint bolt]

but heard back from a lot of companies this time that I didn't last time with amazon

[north portal]

[uneven sand]

only issue is that pinterest isn't really innovating at this point lol

[north portal]

higher tc too

[uneven sand]

yea pinterest pays fat stacks

no

[static spindle]

tf lmao

[north portal]

wait fr, i thought it was 200k but goddam

[uneven sand]

50k is peanuts

[north portal]

no Amazons big thing is name value, everyone knows amazon its a good resume booster than majority of companies

also comp is solid

[uneven sand]

i still haven't gotten pinterest oa

maybe i should reapply

also wtf is path ai

[north portal]

this is good

[north portal]

its good

they pay like $50 an hour

no i havent gotten it etiehr

ye

no

starting salary is like 140k

use levels.fyi for a baseline ig

its not super accurate or something but like at least its got some numbers

[uneven sand]

from my research, IBM > Meta

[north portal]

i mean its at least a baseline

[safe minnow]

How risky is it to reapply to a company after you made it to the phone stage

[north portal]

u can always research more

and find a more accurate number

but if u dont know where to look levels gives a comparison

lmaooo

[uneven sand]

https://prestigehunt.com

[north portal]

why would u reapply if u made phone

[safe minnow]

I mean after you made it and failed

Bro not this stupid ass website again

[north portal]

i mean go for it, but they will probably have a record of u making phone

especially if its with a recruiter

cuz if u get same recruiter or something

[fathom vine]

rentech 17th lol

[safe minnow]

Yeah that's what I'm worried about

[north portal]

i literally just use one note

or write on paper

lol

damn bruh the stereotypes be going hard 😢

this literally looks like a front for a money laundering scheme

Arby's type shit

[safe minnow]

71% actually 🤓

[north portal]

is Slack really better than Amazon @hallow scroll

[jaunty cove]

optiver is below f tier

[safe minnow]

Does anyone know why a lot of quants are in chicago

[north portal]

wallstreet

bullshit class

[hollow sorrel]

How much time you have to do the amazon oa ????

[north portal]

2 weeks

just do it asap

they backlogged

[low vale]

Goku try to use the product he's manifesting, impossible challenge

Perhaps the worst take I've seen on this server

[north portal]

i like medicine, its just something i want to do

cs is just a backup if i dont get into med school

[jaunty cove]

jane street saves lives

[safe minnow]

Their base salary isn't high

[north portal]

literally me rn

[safe minnow]

But if you read carefully

It says you can invest in the medallion fund

[north portal]

google said like 150k or something

[safe minnow]

Which gives 70% returns every year

[restive meadow]

anyone do oa for linkedin ai role?

[safe minnow]

🤷‍♀️

So

[low vale]

Goku are you illiterate?

[north portal]

biochem, im switching into CS next semester

[low vale]

Did you not read what was 2 replies above

[north portal]

lmao dont stress it, i get asked that a lot lol

[low vale]

If you want more money then you could always do it and shit

Way higher cap

[north portal]

nah med schools

u need like a 3.8+ to be competitive

yea, also ur gpa gets converted to a med school GPA

[low vale]

If he goes through med school and comes out alive, you're not his competition lmao

Med school crazy hard

[north portal]

trueeeee

lmao

nah we grinding

amazon interview on monday

[low vale]

I have a physics final in an hour

What do until then

[north portal]

oof which physics?

soon

[low vale]

Next week duo amazon and palantir (unsure bout palantir) results come out

[north portal]

best of luck man!

[low vale]

If you don't see me post in this server again it's either because I got in or went bridge searching

[north portal]

hmu for a list, i been looking for bridges since o chem began

[dark jungle]

Took chem1 and decided med was not for me

[hardy patrol]

pinterest recruiter sent me the wrong oa so do i get an additional week with the new link

[low vale]

The number of people dming me after passing phones and oas is crazy

[soft basin]

bio is easy as fuck

[low vale]

Don't want to think of what my inbox will be like after an offer

Literally can't read all of them

[north portal]

wtf why bio

its easy class

but still

then again

[soft basin]

bio 1 is just cell theory and bio 2 is even easier

i had the choice between bio 2 and chem 1 and i chose bio 2

[low vale]

I have to take 3 sciences so I took Chem and physics so far

[north portal]

my school made CS an engineering major, so i have to take intro to engineering and engineering fundamentals

[safe minnow]

Honestly this is facts lmao

[soft basin]

cell theory is just whats in the cell and all that stuff

[north portal]

no u would learn about cell process, transcription and translation, and like macromolecules and their impact at a genetic level

[soft basin]

building blocks of life and etc

[north portal]

ye

its lowkey just memorization

easy A to pad ur gpa

[low vale]

I like Chem because there's almost nothing to memorize

[north portal]

fax, its funny cuz Statics is an open elective u can take for cs major

[low vale]

Same for physics

[north portal]

no clue

but half the engineering shits are open

fluid dynamics

etc etc

who in their right mind would ever take fluid dynamics over like networking or something

[low vale]

My cs major requires data analysis which is just stats

[low vale]

Depends on the level of CS

It goes from being art to math real quick

And vice versa

[safe minnow]

Math is art

[north portal]

Calc BC was a load of bullshit

not art

[low vale]

Depends on how you define aet

I took Calc ab and self studied for bc

[north portal]

bc was when we had covid, and our county said our grades coudlnt go lower than before covid

so i just didnt submit shit

[low vale]

Bc concepts were easier to do without being taught imo

Found ab harder

[north portal]

i liked calc 1, cuz calc bc was never used after it

calc 3 was calc 1 on steroids

and discrete, lin alg and all dont really use calc bc

[low vale]

I'm in Calc 3 rn, I see some Calc 2

[north portal]

oh fr?

dammn

im in calc 3 too

[low vale]

Calc 2 was used in Lin alg and diff eq

[north portal]

we just finished vectors and polar

[low vale]

Just a little tho

What if he coded a surgery robot

[uneven sand]

calc bc test was easy af during covid

[safe minnow]

I strongly believe that almost every non proof based mathematics course is simply a heavy distortion on the heart of mathematics

[echo lynx]

Hey people.
I hope you're all doing well.

I have a quick question.
Does anyone have an idea when Netflix internships would be released?

[north portal]

dont know and dont care

im not gonna be one of the two people they accept anyways

i will literally spit thanos quotes as I do this ngl

the night is darkest before dawn type beat

[low vale]

Interesting take, but art doesn't have rules like math. There are certain conventions you can use to make art appealing, but you can't ever do art objectively wrong imo

[uneven sand]

if my passion is drone strikes, what companies should i apply to

[low vale]

High level proof based math require abstract thinking and creativity but I don't think that makes them art

[north portal]

bro Ziprecruiter got a lot of balls sending me other internship matches after they resume rejected me

with an 800+ codesignal

[low vale]

I think Lockheed is work on autonomous drone strikes

[uneven sand]

800 codesignal is nothing

900 is the bar now

[north portal]

damn

rip

[uneven sand]

if you can't do sql injection to change your score to 900, you're not a qualified candidate

[low vale]

Who has an 840+ codesignal and is willing to settle for zip recruiter tf?

They dont pay that good do they?

[stoic glen]

What's the highest score you can get on codesignal?

[uneven sand]

me

[uneven sand]

849

last year i had 840+ and got rejected by every codesignal company kekw

[quaint bolt]

Most companies do a resume screen after codesignal

[low vale]

Oh actually nvm

They pay good

[jaunty cove]

math is made up

the rules are made up

[low vale]

I'd settle for zip recruiter

[quaint bolt]

800+ generally guarantees you get to that resume screen but after that it’s up to the recruiter

[jaunty cove]

math and art both help us see the beauty in this world in different ways

[stoic glen]

Bro, tf are companies on?
I swear some mf's have negative infinity iq

[quaint bolt]

People were saying databricks gca requirement was like 840+ but I got phone with 820 and someone with like 780

How would I know

Tru

[low vale]

I got databrick reject with 840 cuz resume weak

[stoic glen]

That's what I've been saying this entire time. Often times more than not, they're completely and utterly full of shit, and they're job is easy

[raw vortex]

Most codesignal companies are the hardest to get into though

[quaint bolt]

I’m not sure I didn’t apply this szn

[raw vortex]

They only use it because they get SO many applicants

[uneven sand]

databricks rejects quite a bit at the EM round lol

it's about your past experience

[stoic glen]

Yeah, see. That shouldn't be allowed. If it's recruiting season and you got a large number of candidates in the pipeline, you can't just fucking do that lol

[quaint bolt]

You’re just not likeable like wagon man is

[safe minnow]

Imo, you can see it like this. Although you may believe art has no rules, there are certain art pieces you would consider better than others. For example, most people would consider the Mona Lisa from a purely artistic standpoint more artistic than a random drawing right?

Math's fundamental rules are not set-there are many interesting branches of mathematics which take a different set of rules and run with it. Non-Euclidean geometry is one such example

[quaint bolt]

I’m telling y’all making your interviewer laugh == you move on for these more behavioural rounds

[stoic glen]

Bro, I'm trynna fucking hear back from my rbc capital markets recruiter who called me yesterday, to tell me she wants to schedule an interview... all it takes is the click of a button, but no. She won't fucking send the email for some reason

Datadog just gave an oa after I applied a second time

[stoic glen]

It's actually frustrating as hell lol

[low vale]

Fuck these recruiters screening me man

[uneven sand]

yea i had to apply twice for ddog oa lol

[fervent flax]

lol you wanna know my databricks

codesignal

[low vale]

Oh did you get in?

Noice

[fervent flax]

☠️ sub 750 got offer

[low vale]

Resume game strong

[fervent flax]

it was such a bad codesignal

I normally get 800+ but had shit day

[quaint bolt]

See where all the mfs at who were saying you need 849

[low vale]

Yeah codesignal rng

[uneven sand]

i gave them 849 and got resume rejected

[fervent flax]

I mean I only had amazon and ressearch on my resume

[hardy patrol]

whats pinterest gcs threshhold

cause im about to set a new low

[fervent flax]

Tbh though I took their codesignal and didn't share

[hardy patrol]

yea they sent me two

[low vale]

"Only amazon"

[fervent flax]

for some reason I feel like some GCA are harder than others

[hardy patrol]

im still waiting for amazon

[quaint bolt]

800+ should guarantee moving on to resume screen

From what I’ve seen

[stoic glen]

Imagine having 6 internships and getting rejected with an 820+ codesignal score lmao

[quaint bolt]

I can assure you databricks didn’t reject your 800+ bc your gca was too low

[low vale]

Man I want to be in the position to complain about having amazon

[fervent flax]

when I took HRT code signal shit was so much harder than Capital One both were general coding assessement. Maybe since I took Databricks codes signal it was put into another pool that wasn't shared?

[low vale]

That's a club I want to join

[quaint bolt]

Oh they like hiring from target schools too I think

[low vale]

I feel like hiring from top schools is a self fulfilling prophecy

[slow quarry]

hrt accepted a 770lol

[hardy patrol]

was pinterest resume screen that difficult theres a post on csmajors rn discussing it

[slow quarry]

u should always go for 800+ always

[fervent flax]

tbh I think if you pass their 600+ codesignla they review lol

[slow quarry]

since thats the highest bar

[north portal]

wait WHAT

[slow quarry]

yes

[north portal]

tbh tho

the GCA Isnt problem

its the resume

[slow quarry]

codesignal is the minimum bar

[quaint bolt]

you just ruined everyone’s copium LOL

[slow quarry]

to get a resume screen

[junior hull]

Fr?

When?

[north portal]

Fidelity just doesnt cut it for resume screens

i need something better

[slow quarry]

yes it was on a csamjros reddit thread

[junior hull]

maybe I should push them more

Lol

Now with Optiver offer

be like "you have 2 weeks"

[slow quarry]

https://www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/comments/x97f48/recent_hrt_swe_interview/ 3 FAANG + startup

[hardy patrol]

i mean it does for me lmao

[fervent flax]

Lol I want to increase the speed of my optiver and HRT final round hearback. SHould I say to HRT I have optiver final and to optiver I have HRT final?

[stoic glen]

Lowkey, I think school name might actually matter

[slow quarry]

peet on deez nuts

[north portal]

not for quants and faang level companies

i get like 4-5 companies total

responding with OA's and shit

[hardy patrol]

yea not for quant but for faang its fine

im about to find out if its good enough for msft

if it got past pinterest it gives me hope

[stoic glen]

Who is this for?

[low vale]

They probably have a pool of questions

[slow quarry]

Dozer LLC iirc

[quaint bolt]

Microsoft’s p rng tho

[fervent flax]

nah I got half those questions

[hardy patrol]

tragic

[jaunty cove]

i would to i fi got asked thst and rejected afteerwards

[fervent flax]

and three of my friends all got those questions too

[stoic glen]

Why are some people here obsessed with getting quants and hedge funds?
I actually do not understand.
FAANG and faang adjacent companies pay enough tbh

[north portal]

praying it can get me google screen

or pinterest screen

[fervent flax]

do you see how much they pay

[slow quarry]

do u not know abt money

yes its perf based

[fervent flax]

when your preference is money

you of course want to get in lol

[slow quarry]

but just pump and dump/hit and run/cum and run the firm

[north portal]

sure they pay enough, but frankly if someone had the option of a 40 hour workweek for 180k, no point in settling when you can get 400k for 45-50 hours

[safe minnow]

It’s also the place where some of the smartest people gather

[slow quarry]

once ur tc becomes bag

[safe minnow]

Which is really fun too

[north portal]

like u work with super intense and cutting edge shit too

its fun

[stoic glen]

Yeah, but you have to bust your balls off.

I get it... they pay 500k+, but what tf is the point of that when you're clocking in 80+ hour weeks.

You'll have no life, no friends, no girlfriend, no hobbies. You'll literally just make some 5'4 balding white dude rich

[hardy patrol]

wlb is like my entire shit i would definitely take a chill 40 hour week for 200k than double while resenting going to work

[stoic glen]

No it's not.

[north portal]

80+ hours a bit too much

they arent IB kids

[low vale]

People say 80 hours but that's literally 16 hour workdays

[stoic glen]

Exactly. I'd take 150k, but have a well balanced life

[low vale]

No one in cs works that much

[jaunty cove]

they dont work even 60 hours per week

[north portal]

Yea if any of the quants forced 80 hours they wouldnt get applicants

its like 50 hours

ive heard some teams are less

[fervent flax]

Look as a 22 year old 99% of your problems can be solved with money

[stoic glen]

I know a friend of a friend at u of t who interned at a hedge fund. I'm forgetting which one. They paid like... 10k a month to interns in NYC + a whole bunch of other shit.

She literally quit after the second week.

Sometimes the prestige and the grind isn't worth it. Honest to God.

[fervent flax]

of course sometimes that might be the case

But like its all about the tradeoffs in life

[hallow scroll]

Some people just want money

[fervent flax]

When you are 22 - 34 99% of your problems are solved with money

[safe minnow]

You could retire early with that money

[hallow scroll]

No one right or wrong to do what they want

[safe minnow]

Very early

[fervent flax]

and when Quant solves all your money problems

people go for qunt

[safe minnow]

If that’s what you want it can be very helpful

[hollow field]

U could just stress for a couple years and jump back into big tech

[hardy patrol]

my problems are solved by money to a certain extent, i dont need 200k to afford my lifestyle

[low vale]

Why do people keep asking this question?

I've seen it asked so many times

[hardy patrol]

i got hobbies i want to focus on outside work though

[stoic glen]

On God, no they can't.
Bro, how tf are you gonna solve the fact that you can't make friends with money?
How are you gonna be able to vet for a potential spouse?

How are you gonna have a decent social circle?

Money really isn't the solution to everything.

Yes it is the solution to alot of things, but I'd rather have a well balanced life and make 150 - 200k than crack 500k with some sweaty nerds (sorry fellas)

[north portal]

Well yes the work is intense it’s not easy, but that’s why they take the best and brightest, however all the quant kids I know said it’s like 45-50 hours a week

[hallow scroll]

Okay that’s just you

Thanks for sharing

[low vale]

Thanks for sharing

[hardy patrol]

hes got a point but those problems arent everyones

[hallow scroll]

Yeah

[stoic glen]

No dude. I'm sharing from what I've seen.

[hallow scroll]

You can be quant with friends lol

If you can’t make friends you’re the problem

[hollow field]

Average CS major ego

[low vale]

You can get into a good place without grinding 8 hours a day lmao wtf

[stoic glen]

Yes, you can. But you're gonna miss out on lots of other stuff

[north portal]

Honestly I dont@think social life and all these things is something that wlb will affect

[safe minnow]

It’s less cope and more team specific. Some teams can be really ass but is used when cherry picking arguments

[stoic glen]

Thank you. Yes

[fervent flax]

two of my friends got their full time offers to HRT and Cit and even then it was at worst like 11 hours a day. normally its 10.

[stoic glen]

Trust me it does.

[fervent flax]

Its all about the tradeoffs in life

[hallow scroll]

Some people are cool with that

[fervent flax]

I agree to a certain extent taht social life will take a hit, but again its all about what you wanna tradeoff

[hallow scroll]

Don’t go preaching on here when it’s just something that varies per person

[fervent flax]

If you work at amazon NYC rent is like 5k in manhatten and like 2.5 k in jersey city?

[stoic glen]

Yeah, I'd rather keep my friends, be able to date alot, and travel alot in my early 20s than crack 500k at a hedge fund. I think this applies to most people too

[fervent flax]

that shit gonna eat like 50% of your paycheck if manhatten or like 30% of

[fervent flax]

just already be dating before you get into quant

[stoic glen]

Yeah, fair enough. But most won't be

[hardy patrol]

i think your talking about the business man archetype of an older guy living in a mansion alone when hes like 60

[sinful locust]

bro u can date while working

50hr workweeks are not too ba

[low vale]

If you live in Manhattan you deserve to lose your paycheck

[jaunty cove]

Quick question, would you rather crack 500k at a hedge fund or date a lot?

[fervent flax]

LOL

[hardy patrol]

lmao true

[stoic glen]

Which is what I'm doing lol. It's hard as it is cuz I've gotta work 20 hours a week at ibm + ta + ra + take 5 courses

[hallow scroll]

Same

[fervent flax]

just have a girlfriend who takes all the same classes

:))

[stoic glen]

How much money would I make at my other job?

[jaunty cove]

so theres someone calling people like you who work while in school sweaty nerd while dating more women than you how does that make you feel?

[jaunty cove]

2

[stoic glen]

What?

[stoic glen]

200k?

[hallow scroll]

At least 2 dollar

[stoic glen]

Well, depends how much I have to work at the hedgie

[low vale]

Tree fiddy

[hallow scroll]

Real

[hardy patrol]

ive seen countless posts of people being suffocated by work that it clouds any free time but im not experienced enough in the industry to know how prevalent that is for our field

[jaunty cove]

quant quant quant quant quant

[stoic glen]

I don't want them to hire me lmfao

[hardy patrol]

that sounds terrible

[hallow scroll]

Yeah I was pretty busy with school internship + recruiting

[stoic glen]

My manager literally told me the same thing. I'm just preaching this to everyone here.

[hallow scroll]

So I simply cancelled all my interviews

[ivory basalt]

how's optiver swe wlb compared to other quants

[jaunty cove]

copium

[woven kindle]

for apple what is the best way to interview for a certain team (like I would want to work for AR/VR)

[hardy patrol]

i mean making fat stacks is what anyone wants but i put a focus on wlb too

[stoic glen]

No, I had to take out some loans and pay for university by working 20 - 30 hour weeks on top of side projects and leetcode

[low vale]

I've heard cold emailing works

[hallow scroll]

Have an AR resume and reach out to AR engineering managers

[stoic glen]

That wlb with above average pay > 500k+ at some hedge fund that you have to dedicate your soul too

[north portal]

This sounds like mega cope, the wlb at hedge funds is not nearly as big as ur saying

[jaunty cove]

copium

[north portal]

Like oh I’m working an extra hour a day on average

Nah bro it’s def not 80 hours or any of that

[jaunty cove]

working 80 hours a week isnt what hft devs do

[north portal]

Everyone would choose Amazon then

[stoic glen]

It's not, I'm not saying you'll die, but it'll definitely be overwhelming at times, and other areas of your life will take a hit

[north portal]

Hfts main drawback is that the work itself is intense

Not the wlb or anything

And that’s why u gotta be cracked to do it

[echo marsh]

Yall talking about trading or dev at quant?

[fervent flax]

Who said FAANg is gonna be chill. You could easily be put on a shit team and you WLB is just as shit as quant

[stoic glen]

No, it's called having a balanced life lmao

[north portal]

Dev

[echo marsh]

Bet

[low vale]

This is always such a privileged argument to make

Annoys me a lot

[craggy barn]

Not everyone passionate abt this field I'm just tryna clock out and not think of anything work related

[north portal]

Nah FR

[stoic glen]

Wait, aren't we talking about quant this whole time?

[north portal]

Someone tried flaming me for applying to palantir

[north portal]

Quant development? Like SWE at quants yes

[stoic glen]

Okay yeah

[echo marsh]

Anyone worked at quant as SWE here?

[north portal]

Capital one is full if that’s what ur asking

[stoic glen]

I don't know bro, go outside and ask some people

[north portal]

I mean ur the one preaching about it so u should have a benchmark or baseline

[stoic glen]

Anyways, I got my Jane Street interview coming up, so im gonna prepare for that

[north portal]

LMAO

[static spindle]

[low vale]

[echo marsh]

[north portal]

Top tier bait

[safe minnow]

[north portal]

[echo marsh]

Is HRT offer auto?

[north portal]

[haughty cradle]

wtf is this ramp ctf

for a backend role

[quaint bolt]

[haughty cradle]

[jaunty cove]

codesignal doesnt matter at all

it doesnt

i got 848 and i got rejected from ziprecruiter

shit tier company

[soft basin]

literal copium

[jaunty cove]

their business model is spamming people with emails

[slow veldt]

there was only 4 flags right

[haughty cradle]

got 840 and rejected as well, it's all random

[jaunty cove]

and apparently im not good enough to do that

[soft basin]

imc sent me 3 reminders for oa 😭

[quaint bolt]

Email them back and tell them to schedule my final

[soft basin]

ur ai can u sovle it?

[soft basin]

its the imc@workday email 😐

[jaunty cove]

the recruiters ive talked to at imc dont even work at imc

they are outsourced to HRT solutions which is unrelated to HRT

ironically

[ocean minnow]

didja get all 4

i think theres only 4

judging from previous conversation there used to be 8

but i assume the flags got shared or something so the challenge got redone

it was a pretty fun ctf tho

[blissful elm]

how to distract myself from

waiting to hear back

🙂

[ocean minnow]

i do the crying one

oh that wasnt an option

[blissful elm]

time to read some manga

lol

also anyone hear back for pinterest yet before i

go

[ocean minnow]

the current live one is 4 isnt it

its 4

just got update from recruiter

[wooden shard]

Ramp reached back to u?

[ocean minnow]

not an offer

just next steps

i put in 3 then he asked if i wanted to try another

sent him the forth and he said im going to next steps

inb4 ghost

ramp's been out for a day?

i thought i was really late to the party

[candid umbra]

damn

i can’t get the 4th

[spice edge]

wait, is ramp the one where they give a challenge and tell u to submit the solution in the field below?

[ocean minnow]

i have a ton of ctf exp tho so

yea

[spice edge]

bro i looked at that

it makes no sense

wtf

[candid umbra]

same except

i still can’t get the 4th

what was your team on CTF time?

[spice edge]

what am i supposed to do?

[ocean minnow]

i didnt think i actually got the forth

dont know if we're talking about the same forth

[candid umbra]

there’s only 4 tho

[ocean minnow]

i mean cause we could have had differnt struggle points

[candid umbra]

true ig

[ocean minnow]

something something http protocols

[candid umbra]

it’s the one involving a random letter that appeared

[slow veldt]

ramp full?????

[ocean minnow]

i have to say tho

the ramp challenges (apart from finding the challenges) was super backend oriented imo

[deep valley]

Imo amazon is better

[ocean minnow]

oh and except the one about 42

[slow veldt]

i think there was only one really backend oriented one tbh

[deep valley]

I still can't get the ramp challenge lmao

It's my first time doing CTF and I literally have no clue what to do

Did you guys just look up how to do CTF and just follow a guide?

[ocean minnow]

me n alphy both do ctfs on our won time lmao

[deep valley]

Ohhh damn yea they seem really interesting

[slow veldt]

all you really have to know is that your objective is to cheese whatever you're given

i havent done ctfs

starting the challenge tho is the hardest part

[candid umbra]

you didn’t get all 4?

[hushed charm]

someone here said they completed it without CTF experience lol

[deep valley]

Yea that's the thing I have no clue what I'm looking for

I'll keep playing around with it

Might figure something out

[red shadow]

got a email to schedule a phone call "to discuss results" a week after my final interview w Uber, what could this mean

[deep valley]

Honestly man it's impossible to tell, some companies call to reject

[candid umbra]

fr???

[deep valley]

Just hope for the best and whatever happens happens, hopping you get the offer though!

[candid umbra]

that’s such a bait mic

move^

[deep valley]

Yea happened to a buddy of mine, honestly I wouldn't mind cause they gave him feedback too

[candid umbra]

i love the rejections when they send you an email and then they attach to you an html document of the email for the rejection

[red shadow]

damn thats tuff

thanks for the info

right thats what I was thinking, I've never personnaly gotten a call to get rejecteed

its always the infamous "we were impressed with your performance..."

[somber crystal]

bruh my Google recruiter just responded to me and said that I would have to apply again for summer after having passed fall

[wooden shard]
