the roi is so little unless you actually want to be a startup founder and even then you are gambling for ROI

not worth it

[somber solstice]

worth it to boost little self worth i have left

[dusk kayak]

do that by making it from where you're at

[sinful locust]

lecolin

[dusk kayak]

sorry, have 10k commits and not be a bitch*

[woeful lynx]

Is the google OA always the same?

[halcyon wedge]

You got it too?

[woeful lynx]

Yeah 😅

[halcyon wedge]

LETS GO

[halcyon wedge]

@gentle latch said it was easy

Doubt that it's always the same tho

[woeful lynx]

Looks like @gentle latch is leetcode god

[halcyon wedge]

Lmao

[sinful locust]

when u apply

[halcyon wedge]

sep 19

[sinful locust]

oh nice

[halcyon wedge]

day it opened

[sinful locust]

i applied october 7 with VP referral

hopefully i get eventually

[halcyon wedge]

That's great

Hope u get it

[sinful locust]

i have gotten like no OAs

other than auto

[sinful locust]

ty ty

gl on urs

[halcyon wedge]

I've been getting interviews lately, but got rejected on my last technical

feelsbad

[sinful locust]

it’s fine u got Ws coming

[halcyon wedge]

That's the spirit bro

[sinful locust]

😈

yessir

[halcyon wedge]

we keep grinding

we go leetcode

drw

it is what it is

got two more coming up next week

We focusing on that

and on the big g oa

[woeful lynx]

But honestly getting interview at DRW is like triple Google final 😂 hardest things out there

DRW(or any HFT) interview >>>>> diamond >>> google

@sinful locust

Never played Minecraft 😦

[plush girder]

is this emea or us

[halcyon wedge]

Emea

You’ve asked me that before 😂 no

[plush girder]

isn't the pool same for all emea? I applied only to zurich for swe intern and I guess they are later in the hiring compared to london, paris and so on

I guess it's the same for project match but not from the beginning

[halcyon wedge]

I do not know any details, but I believe certain apps relate to certain pools

Can’t imagine someone applying to the uk and getting matched in poland

[plush girder]

I think that happens

[halcyon wedge]

I mean, any other way and it makes 0 sense

[halcyon wedge]

Nevermind, u right, I guess Zurich is behind

[turbid marten]

I took the wooooock
to poland

sorry

[sinful locust]

@hollow sun yo

[clever grail]

@sinful locust

[granite walrus]

Does anyone know what the riot process is? I'm past phone screen and am doing the going over OA technical soon, but don't know what all that entails or what comes after. Any knowledge greatly appreciated

[north portal]

riot process

[wooden shard]

How many interviews for final

[hollow field]

Any advice for LinkedIn behavioral?

[north portal]

2 behavioural 1 tech total

if u got past phone then its just 1 behavioural 1 tech left

[granite walrus]

@north portal Wait so it's just going over the OA and then a single behavioural? That's not bad at all...

[north portal]

nah they hella selective about it

u gotta basically be a perfect fit for their company

that final behaviourals gonna be brutal for everyone

[fluid sequoia]

damn

[north portal]

oh maybe its free we shall see

[brazen pier]

2 weeks generally

[golden root]

Lol I got rejected after phone which was my first ever behavioral related rejection.. (and I thought it went well) I actually think they do a resume screen where teams can choose to interview each resume, in other words.. final invite is more based on resume than your phone behavioral performance

[clever grail]

i was told there is HM that looks at resume after phone, before final

[golden root]

Exactly this

I can send you my anon one it isn’t crazy

[brazen pier]

id be surprised if true

cuz there are ppl who get perfect final where they ace behavioral and technical but get rejected

so my assumption was that they redo resume screen after that

[golden root]

Multiple people have said your resume gets put in front of HMs from different teams and if nobody wants to interview you it’s done

[brazen pier]

oh shit wait so the person who interviews u is ur potential HM??

[oak kite]

linkedin final in 6 hours wish me luck discord

[brazen pier]

someone was literally saying they weren't so now im kinda confused

[golden root]

Yep.. probs got resume screened after phone then

Or I suck at behavioral lol

[oak kite]

linkedin has double resume screen

maybe even triple not sure

[brazen pier]

no shot my dogwater resume makes it through the 3rd one

[golden root]

Tbf I was literally ghosted for like 3 weeks after my phone then got rejected so the process seems very strange

[oak kite]

from what i understand, you get resume screened for linkedin oa, then again after recruiter call, and possibly again for team matching(?)

[sudden tulip]

ramp is closed now?

[oak kite]

not sure if they decided on what team you're interviewing for

[brazen pier]

ye i think there is one for team match as well

[sudden tulip]

wtf

i couldnt apply cuz of the ctf

[oak kite]

someone told me that a linkedin recruiter scheduled a call only to reject them

[north portal]

its fine, plenty of other companies

[brazen pier]

my HM said he was looking for interns tho, so i have no clue if that's hinting at me being a candidate for his team or one of them or if that means im gonna be going to some other

[brazen pier]

ye ppl are getting rejection calls 💀 😭

[oak kite]

did you have your final already?

[brazen pier]

only behavioral

my technical got rescheduled

[oak kite]

which type of engineer?

[brazen pier]

was supposed to be both yesterday

[oak kite]

mine is for sys infra

[brazen pier]

swe manager

[oak kite]

i meant what type of engineer you're interviewing for

[north portal]

nah thats wild, if someone called me to reject id literally commit war crimes

[hardy patrol]

[north portal]

same! Charlie keep on hoping

we shall eventually get a phone

[hardy patrol]

when did you apply

[brazen pier]

general swe

[brazen pier]

ong, and some of them are SCHEDULED, that's literally maxed out disrespect 😭

[north portal]

like august

[golden root]

Bruh 2.5 months later

[hardy patrol]

sheesh

[golden root]

I applied day it opened

[hardy patrol]

msft is strange like most people i know got phone 2 weeks after applying and others get it after 3 months

[jaunty cove]

rly

i thought everyone got it fast or got ghosted

[north portal]

honestly if im able to get riot, i wouldnt really care about msft

[oak kite]

i think colin should change his profile pic every 12 hours instead of 48

[hardy patrol]

least undecisive discord user

i applied to like all my target companies with a resume riddled with typos this season started off with a bang

[golden root]

Wait until you realize 90% of places don’t even look at your resume

It’s all ATS

[north portal]

ATS?

[hardy patrol]

ats wondering what pyhton is

[woeful lynx]

How long does it take for recruiter to reach out to you after stripe technical interview?

[oak kite]

just put all faang companies in white text

[hardy patrol]

bless

[north portal]

good luck man u got this!

they were testing you

if you withdrew you passed to offer round

too bad

[hardy patrol]

theyre going to kidnap you if you dont take the job

[oak kite]

which role? and good luck : )

[quaint bolt]

gl

[oak kite]

sys infra?

[woeful lynx]

They will send a private investigator to your house with the offer letter and he will follow you until you sign it

[woeful lynx]

Either take the money and get kidnapped or get no money and get kidnapped 😂

[hardy patrol]

amz marketing strat

[sinful locust]

Yup; and after final too. If no HM wants you after all the feedback from your phone and interviews you don’t get a job

[hardy patrol]

they need to give me the oa ive been waiting over a month

[sinful locust]

That’s why it’s important to vibe with your hm behavioral interview

Bc they are on the the HMs

And since you’re actually talking w them, u have the highest chance of making an impression

[honest zodiac]

Gl

[vapid pecan]

that explains why ppl getting rejected with good interviews /;

my resume has no fullstack experience lol idek how i got to final

[brazen pier]

i only got 1 full stack project, 1 front end, 1 app dev and 1 ML/AI

so i rlly dunno how i got here

my prev internship was devops ( 💀 ) as well

[vapid pecan]

my prev internship was data engineer lmaoo

linkedin has one c++ team 🙏

[brazen pier]

anything to get me out of devops

not tryna be unemployed in 5 yrs

[vapid pecan]

anything to get me out of data engineer

[forest comet]

After my tech chat at bloomberg, I got my first technical and at the end of first technical, they informed me I will have second technical the next day. I had my second technical yesterday, but they didn't inform me anything about my HR round. But apparently one guy got his HR schedule right after second technical. Does this mean I am rejected?

[untold rapids]

not 100% sure but I think so

I believe they give hr at the end of vo if u pass technical

[brazen pier]

did anyone who got into linkedin get any sign that they got in after their technical or behavioral?

or was it just when recruiter reached out?

[forest comet]

vo>

vo?

[vapid pecan]

i just hope i get rejected over email

[clever grail]

i have linkedin premium and saw a manager view my profile

[vapid pecan]

rejection over phone is brutal

[brazen pier]

if i get rejected, same

[brazen pier]

who did u get for ur HM?

[sick oar]

i don’t think so?? you are temporarily living in seattle

[vapid pecan]

im p sure its tax fraud lmaoo

i think it only says "a technical manager viewerd ur profile" or smth like that

my interviewer viewed my profile right after the behavioral and i saw the same

[untold rapids]

virtual onsite

unless u have the on campus interviews in which case I have no idea

[jaunty cove]

i have first hackathon in 24 hours

time to hack!

[wooden shard]

We only do leetcode

No actually coding here

[jaunty cove]

its a set of competitive programming questions

so still not real coding

😎

[brazen pier]

dfg?

[jaunty cove]

Idk

[somber solstice]

me too, but im gonna just do every blind75 this weekend

[north portal]

wait i didnt finish the last part

[hardy patrol]

you guys are too bipolar sometimes

im gonna continue b75 since enough of you got by good companies with only like 50 q solved

my cap is 75 lc questions im doing the bare minimum

[jaunty cove]

do every kirb350

How much k will you be happy with

[north portal]

it will never be enough

[hardy patrol]

i know your irony posting but thats true and i hope i dont end up like that oil tycoon from there will be blood

[somber solstice]

leetcode is fun tho

[hardy patrol]

cap

[wooden hazel]

Is karat similar to the technical interview where they are trying to see how you think or is it more a matter of solving the problem (s)

[hardy patrol]

lc is the worst but if you find it genuinely fun you will make insane bags

[somber solstice]

not rly, i do codeforces too for a rzn

[north portal]

fire movie, but yea, however I dont think money is the sole pursuit in life, I just want to be making enough to satisfy myself and then focus on family and other shit

[somber solstice]

bcz i have fun doing it 😭

[north portal]

The acting in There will be Blood was fucking amazing

[hardy patrol]

thats the goal for everyone yea

[jaunty cove]

wecu can you solve super egg drop

[hardy patrol]

i want enough to live in nyc comfortably and that just so happens to be a ridiculous amount

[somber solstice]

is super egg drop the one where u figure out the minimum amount of egg needed to drop

or smth

[north portal]

all im saying is the goal is different for each person, like some people may have 100k as goal, but others will have more k and i dont think people should standardize how much money one should pursue

[somber solstice]

if so, math question and yucky

[north portal]

isnt this the DP question?

[somber solstice]

my goal is just 200k new grad and work my way up to around 800k TC and retire early so i can spend time with my family

[jaunty cove]

its dp and binary search

and math

the perfect questikn

[somber solstice]

ohh, yeah no thx

i suck at DP

[jaunty cove]

i cant solve it

[hardy patrol]

i mean do you really expect me to be able to afford nitro with only 100k a year

[somber solstice]

lmaooo

im bad at lc and cf

dw

[north portal]

and then taxes will take half of it

[somber solstice]

im gonna git gud tho

[north portal]

so its really like 50k a year

[jaunty cove]

how do you get 800tc

As a dev

[north portal]

principal and senior dev roles at faangs no?

[jaunty cove]

Idk

[somber solstice]

no, i can just consistently hit 1700 perf

but i haven't competed in a hot sec

[north portal]

true but im tryna be there so is it really wrong to aspire for this?

[somber solstice]

due to college

[north portal]

ewwwww

taxes

basically all this means is that i gotta make either 538k, or i gotta make like 7 figures

[somber solstice]

taxes 😭

[hardy patrol]

i dont be paying taxes i opted out

[jaunty cove]

37%? im commiting tax fraud

[somber solstice]

ngl I didn't realize swe paid well until last yr

[jaunty cove]

yet another reason to move to alaska

[somber solstice]

i was gonna do it since I thot It waa cool

[north portal]

im gonna put my family as dependents so i can pay less

[hardy patrol]

most innocent cs major

[somber solstice]

but now ik it pays well, ik i gotta grind

[north portal]

hes been corrupted

damn

[hardy patrol]

corrupted

[jaunty cove]

Idk why devs get paid so much ik people who work way harder than me

[somber solstice]

taxes are just optional donations

[somber solstice]

bring more money to the company

[jaunty cove]

Like who convinced rich people that developing software was a really hard thing to do

[north portal]

I actively embezzle from my FAANGS to ensure I am not doing any good

[hardy patrol]

bro i was working at a resturaunt in nyc as a line cook a few years ago going through 4 rush hours per shift making less than half i did at my first internship

while doing 3x the work

shit is significantly easier

[somber solstice]

at least that's what my dad said abt how his swe career went

[north portal]

I was trying to become a tutor for money and it was paying like 16 an hour, and I thought that was great until I got $30+ from fidelity

[hardy patrol]

yea and bigger companies offering like 50+

[north portal]

also with so many companies trying to get top talent, a bidding war would have inevitably led to this level of pay tbh

[jaunty cove]

Good point

[north portal]

this is why google better than amazon

[muted summit]

i used to play video games for money and when i made a few hundred from a tourney it was literally the biggest dopamine rush

[somber solstice]

oh fr

[hardy patrol]

every coal miner that died of black lungs in the 1880s for 3 dollars a year are turning in their graves watching me make 100x that while browsing reddit on company time

[muted summit]

but its peanuts esp considering you gotta put in thousands of hours into games LOL

[north portal]

also i think its a skill curve too

cuz finding a middling cs dev is easy

but finding a great one is hard

[muted summit]

i feel like it also matters on management

[north portal]

and they look for great ones to become seniors and increase overall productivity

[muted summit]

yea

[jaunty cove]

Amazon is changing the hiring model

They know devs are expendable

[somber solstice]

i think that u gotta remember that the ppl making like 200k/yr starting are also like top 10% cs majors

[north portal]

oh nice, this makes sense considering Zuck was a software guy from the getgo

[somber solstice]

didnt zuck do competitive programming

[hardy patrol]

good devs arent as expendable arent there still millions of unfilled experienced swe positions

[clever grail]

what did they do

[muted summit]

fr top 10%?

[clever grail]

lol

[somber solstice]

bro ik half of my algos class does not know jack

[north portal]

probably, this servers an echo chamber since everyones good at cs, but in general populace faangs are very rare

[somber solstice]

and will not make 200k starting

[north portal]

most kids end up at like fidelity or something fulltime

[hardy patrol]

Payscale's 2021 College Salary Report listed that computer science graduates earned an average early career salary of $75,100 and a mid-career salary of $123,400

[north portal]

and think 80k is amazing

[jaunty cove]

80k is more than either of my parents make after working very hard for decades and decades

[muted summit]

id expect like 3% honestly

[somber solstice]

exactly... swe is only lucrative to true grinders

[north portal]

we on the grindset 😤

[hardy patrol]

my sense of what a "good" salary is has been completely razed after being exposed to people here talking about 250k starting salaries

[muted summit]

same

[north portal]

quants ruined any perception of money i had

[muted summit]

my pov has changed

[somber solstice]

the reality is the average person is very lazy, if u r even slightly not lazy, ur ahead of like 80% of ppl

[north portal]

i cannot think about faangs positively now

[muted summit]

yeah and thats peanuts for this server LOL

[wary harbor]

Is a mill salary possible

[muted summit]

yes

principal at faang

[wary harbor]

I’m swe

[north portal]

damn

[hardy patrol]

this is why im adamant about quitting at faang like i already got enough money lmfao

[muted summit]

i think thats what its called

[wary harbor]

In swe

[north portal]

ours is like 81k starting average

[somber solstice]

yeah, i think ppl overestimate what swe rly pays

[muted summit]

yeah exactly esp if the job is easy

[north portal]

yea but it takes time and a lot of hard work

[muted summit]

my goal is to grind my ass off in college so i can cruise later on

[somber solstice]

ideally, my last job is at bloomberg

[jaunty cove]

It pays a lot considering you dont need to jump through hoops and go to grad school or do tests

[hardy patrol]

msft been my goal since day one since the wlb is great

[somber solstice]

the golden age of swe culture is dying

fuck covid

[muted summit]

is hs i really wanted to work for facebook bc i watched joma a lot

[north portal]

i think im gonna try to get a quant, but ill keep a FAANG as a backup

[muted summit]

Now I wanna work at google bc neetcode

but I also wanna intern at amazon bc it sounds fun to spend a summer in seattle

[north portal]

trueeeeeeeeee

ive never liked facebook tbh

[somber solstice]

it's insane to me how ppl at my college think that their business degree can even begin to compete with a cs degree for raw money making potential

[north portal]

idk why

[dusk kayak]

good morning kiddos

[wary harbor]

Bro I just want a fang

[muted summit]

sup hayden

[wary harbor]

Yo doe meta referral work ?

[somber solstice]

they rly think IB at mid firms are gonna net them money 😭

[muted summit]

i think any faang ng is amazing and opens the doors to other faangs as well

[wary harbor]

Right

[somber solstice]

god imagine u intern at prestige unicorn, and everyone is just like hahah wtf is that lmaoo i interned at goldman sachs

😭

cs majors are oppressed

[somber solstice]

da name brand clout

troo

[north portal]

nah the real flex comes when u pull up in like a brand new ferrari and they are still trying to flex their corvette

the CS money shows eventually

[somber solstice]

i dont want a ferrari ngl

[north portal]

was just an example

[somber solstice]

yeh ikwym

[sinful locust]

Why does it matter though, you’re still making more money while working half the hours. Let them think they “have it good”

[stone echo]

i want a lambo urus

🙂

[somber solstice]

ur just sad bcz know will understand ur achievement so u cam never share it

sadge

[north portal]

Meta's real problems is that their main product(facebook) is objectively a jack of all trades in the social media industry. Every aspect of facebook is just something that some other platform now does better and takes over that niche, so theres no point in using facebook. Its also got a bad stigma amongst younger kids, so I dont think Meta's future is gonna be good

like Metaverse wont do shit

[hardy patrol]

wecu are you in uni

[somber solstice]

bro facebook hasn't come up with anything new since Facebook

instagram is just fb + old insta + snapchat + tiktok now

[north portal]

Meta used to be coveted until like covid tbh

exactly

[somber solstice]

first year uni student at non target (T100)

The harsher truth:

While you're grinding LeetCode, being paranoid about not making $200k starting, the average cs student is enjoying college life, hanging out with friends, making some nice memories that they will look back on their entire life.

The harshest truth:

After you spent your college years grinding, and finally get that FAANG job.. you realize it brings you no happiness and you're even more miserable than before. The comparison between you and people who are doing better than you gets even worse. Meanwhile the average CS student is living a nice, simple, happy life.

[somber solstice]

[honest zodiac]

A lot of people in my uni prob party more than the average student and get faang

[grand dagger]

why do people keep acting like you need to grind leetcode “all day” to git gud

[simple garden]

That sub is full of midwits

[hardy patrol]

not all of them are top 10% theres a lot of strugglers

[elfin adder]

comparison is the theft of joy

[grand dagger]

cs majors have no idea what grind is

[north portal]

nah cuz like why would u go to reddit for validation when u are HAPPILY MARRIED

[elfin adder]

loser need to get off reddit and get some bitches instead

[north portal]

A2C was pure entertainment for my senior year

[jaunty cove]

No he wrote a bunch of famius c++ books and does research at nvidia

[north portal]

yall remember that one Yale kid who kissed his interviewer

[somber solstice]

prestige tier lists aren't possible in tech bcz different roles and positions are wel.. different

[north portal]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/eqriom/i_tried_to_kiss_my_interviewer_are_my_chances/

this is the context @hardy patrol

[grand dagger]

law school mfs looking at cs kids complaining they need to study for 100 hours to get 200k

[north portal]

LMAO

Med kids looking at Whiny CS majors while realizing after they graduate from 8 years of school, they have to work 80 hours a week at residency

[hardy patrol]

I (17 m) had my Yale interview today. The interviewer (25 f) was smoking hot, and we really hit it off. She very clearly liked me and seemed to be giving me “the look” left right and center. I honestly lost count of the amount of times she laughed at things that I said and she seemed to genuinely enjoy talking to me. We ended up chatting for nearly 3 hours, and most of our conversation wasn’t even remotely about Yale—just random things about ourselves. Towards the end of the interview, I had a strange urge to go in for a kiss.

[north portal]

Nah thats insane

[hardy patrol]

he should move into the mountains after that one

[quaint bolt]

no notes I just remember em basically

[jaunty cove]

I dont think i can get hrt ever

Idk anything about low level programmng

[quaint bolt]

all the talks have practical examples so it's easy to remember

[somber solstice]

imagine if med kids spent their time doing codeforces and usamo problems instead and just got into hrt lmfao

who is "lmfao"

[jaunty cove]

Idk why we have doctors they should just do leetcode

[somber solstice]

[jaunty cove]

[hardy patrol]

[north portal]

tbh tho, most specialized doctors and med kids get around like 400k anyways

its just like 10 years after

HRT so pog man

hey im actually kinda excited for med

i love medicine

[somber solstice]

400k/yr is p solid, med is no joke. especially with how consistent the job market is.

[north portal]

[jaunty cove]

I would be ahorrible doctor

anyway

[somber solstice]

yes 😭

[hardy patrol]

a2c is like csmajors but the spearheaded determination and resolve to get into a school that charges you 70k a year for brand name makes it marginally worse

[somber solstice]

not sure why premed students sweat college apps

im ngl

[hardy patrol]

half of them are like 15 too so its even stranger

[jaunty cove]

Because their prents force them to be a doctor

Ig

[hardy patrol]

fax

[north portal]

its cuz a lot of med schools offer BSMD programs for like 5-10 kids every year, and thats a 7 year med program and u dont have to take MCAT and apply for med school

u basically get in before college starts type thing

i remember the kids grinding for that were insane

[somber solstice]

hmm

[north portal]

like i got rejected with like 400 voluynteering hours cuz it wasnt enough

either way u cant go wrong congrats on 2 great offers

[outer linden]

[outer linden]

: < )

[proud crag]

do you value remote

[outer linden]

yeee

[proud crag]

have you had another internship before

[outer linden]

yeee

[proud crag]

well in that case at LEAST ask for amazon remote before you decide they will say no

[outer linden]

Hm j2d1 and recruiter said no

[proud crag]

just send an email along the linese of "i had a remote internship last summer and had no issues with lack of face to face, if at all possible i would like to be remote this summer too"

hm j2d1? wtf that mean

[outer linden]

Hiring manager and the journey 2 day 1 stuff

[proud crag]

oh

[outer linden]

I haven’t gotten placed on a team

But I’m a wlb chaser so Amazon is like not really the place to go

[proud crag]

you dont have a choice either wag

amazon doesnt allow wtf and autodesk does

so you have 1 offer

[outer linden]

Ye lmao but it’s either I exit the rat race with Autodesk or continue the grind with Amazon

[proud crag]

if u dont like grinding then yeah aim for good wlb company

personally i want to grind some because i will feel like i didnt do my fullest potential if i didnt at least grind a bit

but maybe its just "thinks hes a gifted kid" syndrome

[outer linden]

at most i would grind for tc

but devops is like the best position for overemployment

but it would be depressing asf

[proud crag]

not gonna say i was a gifted kid cuz everyone thinks they were

[mild compass]

is this offer ?

[late terrace]

yea

[proud crag]

for linkedin?

[mild compass]

i have meeting with manager but its not a interview
