2023_summer

[thin turret]

I got an email from amazon student program saying that they basically have a hiring freeze and they are unable to offer me a position right now, but they might do later in the future. Is that like a waitlist type of situation or more like a rejection?

[hallow scroll]

Yeah there is a waitlist

[soft basin]

thats waitlist in the case some ppl renege

[unkempt lance]

To anyone that applied to Riot I found this on blind -- don't expect responses until Jan

They are likely freezing hiring for the rest of the calendar year and will only resume in Jan for those who applied later

[static spindle]

[mystic depot]

[unkempt lance]

We'll see in Jan ig

Trust me I'm applying to other places I'm just putting the info I found out there

Whend you all apply

I see

I applied a week in

It took them 1 month to send the OA

[obsidian sedge]

Waitlist babyyyy

[static spindle]

Riot never sent me the OA

which is good bc I didn’t want to work for the league of legends company anyways

[mystic depot]

yo wtf

ong thats bad but also kinda funny icl

[muted summit]

i feel like the only really good gaming company to work at is roblox

[mystic depot]

hows bro falling asleep during the interview

https://tenor.com/view/how-paapabutterfly-gif-22583765

[obsidian sedge]

What

Your interview fell asleep? 💀💀💀

[static spindle]

you should’ve started playing league during the interview to win them over

[hollow sorrel]

hey, do you know what is the pay for spotify sweden internship? can't find any info on internet

cause I think that usually internships aren't paid in sweden lol

so I wonder if spotify do the same or if they actually pay

[near swallow]

No idea lol sorry

Make a blind post?

[mystic depot]

check levels fyi, they have info on pay for certain cities around the world

no gaurentees tho

[hollow sorrel]

they have only ny and boston

[mystic depot]

if u get the offer the recruiter should say

[sick oar]

poop?

[mystic depot]

[sick oar]

this dude on LI i just saw took step over apple ml, microsoft swe and uber star

🤨

[royal rapids]

which office?

[near swallow]

I can understand step over star and apple ml tbh

Only because of current market since G safer than uber

But to say no to a straight up swe role yeah

[mystic depot]

i guess G is pretty good tbf, its also safer rn i suppose

[sick oar]

Hmmm

I’d think it’d be a tossup between Apple ML and Microsoft SWE

since both are full roles

[near swallow]

If they dont want ML that’s reasonable

[royal rapids]

can flip google step into SWE/PM next summer too

[near swallow]

It’s about ur risk management. G step might be higher risk high reward

[sick oar]

yeah true

apm is harder

[near swallow]

This is not a time to gamble imo

[sick oar]

you still need to do a full look for apm

loop

it’s just earlier

[royal rapids]

oh really thought the process was shortened

[sick oar]

don’t think so

[royal rapids]

or is that only for swe

[sick oar]

you might skip one step

but u still have 2 of (take home, phone, final)

[earnest hatch]

STEP to SWE conversion is easier at Google vs just SWE intern though, so if Google was their goal then this is the right move

[sick oar]

yeah that’s true

personally i’d have taken a full swe internship

but i get it

[static spindle]

Same I would take Jane street over Amazon but haven’t heard back yet

[sick oar]

Damn ok!

damn

i feel like it’s easier for pm since there’s not a lot of freshman soph programs besides explore

i kinda wanna do an off cycle swe internship

[hot grove]

did u do the hr meeting?

how was it

[sick oar]

does linkedin give preferential treatment to microsoft interns

[hot grove]

how have I never done a interview with hr so far

this is terrifying

[rugged knoll]

Ny

[static spindle]

war never changes...

[mystic depot]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-heavybreathing-fat-gif-4648727

no pretzels in the uk 🥹 🥹 🥹 🥹

i liked them when i was in the US tho

we got some but they are so bad

https://tenor.com/view/forager-steal-wild-food-foraging-gif-18627233

[hardy patrol]

i paid for a 3 dollar pretzel with a ten dollar bill from this guy with a cart in manhattan and told him to keep the change

my generosity is boundless

worst pretzel ive ever had though i gave it to the birds near central park

honestly with the sand castles worth of salt that was on it i think those birds likely died soon after

[sick oar]

HAHAH

[spice jetty]

i would do the same,,,

[sick oar]

i’d take ms

google isn’t an end all and ms recruiting power as a soph would be good

they also have the best remote options

and good return bonus

[dense tinsel]

😦 fr

[spice jetty]

idk i prefer google’s products and i think it would be a strong decision bc the STEP return offer rate is so high, the ms swe would be second best contender tho i do give ms credit there

[fickle ivy]

HP LAYOFFS

[astral dew]

Apple is safer than Google rn

[sick oar]

Valid

good sushi gake

take

[astral dew]

Yeah I’d def not take step over regular apple intern

[sick oar]

are you aws @wary whale

yup but gcp smaller

for ms and amazon cloud is the biggest money maker

for google it’s search

most step ppl ik we’re not gcp

there are cross cloud non azure teams

what do you think of those

like office 365

boring

[astral dew]

But also don’t step interns barely do anything?

[sick oar]

depends

ik interns that did

and ones that napped whole day

LOOL

honestly if you can get msft swe ii return offer

idk anything much better

[astral dew]

Yeah I think Microsoft would be chill if ur not on the grind and just wanna relax

[rapid swan]

unless azure

[sick oar]

L60 is like 230k tho

plus you have an up level for switching a year or two later

you can get up leveled on return offer for microsoft

if you get upleveled it’s like 230k y1/y2

or like 220 something

for l60 it is

l59 is high 19x as highest

microsoft return offer data

i can check again for specifics

i’m seeing 143 base, 200k stock / 4, 60-80k sign on

for seattle probably, so add +10k base for hcol

so sf nyc would be 245 tops?

235?

i’m looking at post negotiation for l60

[hardy patrol]

cap1 ng is like 140k right

i could vibe w that

[sick oar]

??

i don’t see what u mean

ur looking at L59

that’s not an up level

that’s standard base

yea u are

Lowest highest

Obv that salary is a mistak

But look lol 143 + 200/4 + 60-80 signing

[proud crag]

ur missing a digit there

[sick oar]

or median / highest mb

I mean it’s lowk not that hard to negotiate to highest even w out competing

Especially you’re a double return intern

I mean also highest offer at top of band is gonan be for Azure

Lol

They have the budget for it

Yeah

NYC probably

NYC is like $2k higher than BAY

[proud crag]

why is there not a tc row ?

why are you making me do mental math

[sick oar]

idk lol don’t ask me

probably bc bonus can be split between 2 years

it’s office or webxt

that’s it

remote nyc is easier

and u can go into office whenever

no redmond for me pls

loool

[echo forge]

anyone do braze final? how many questions did u get for technical

[proud crag]

where!

who

not saying its a noname im just ignorant

[frigid ocean]

anyone hear anything back from home depot?

[devout fractal]

zendesk good

[sly sparrow]

bro wtf is the work session interview for gusto

[scenic sluice]

how much are yall trying to make NG, include city/area plz

[scenic sluice]

i gor reject

[mild aspen]

200

[scenic sluice]

where

[spark valley]

Employment

[scenic sluice]

that's a crazy number bru

[mild aspen]

nyc/san fran/austin/seattle

[scenic sluice]

are you cracked

[mild aspen]

just need to get into amazon in nyc/sf lol

not easy but certainly not impossible

[sly sparrow]

amazon ng make 200k in nyc?

[mild aspen]

ye

[sly sparrow]

god damn

[scenic sluice]

wtf how did i not know this

[sly sparrow]

they need to first stop ghosting me 💀

[scenic sluice]

i figured it was like 120 or sumn

[mild aspen]

nah burh they pay like 170 in seattle

[scenic sluice]

big tech is donezo new grad

[sly sparrow]

it says $173K tc on levels tho

[scenic sluice]

close enough 4 me

[mild aspen]

for nyc?

[sly sparrow]

doesnt say but im assuming not that much difference no?

[sly sparrow]

fair fair

dont like unicorns pay a lot more

[scenic sluice]

if you intern remote don't they adjust for col +/-

[mild aspen]

no seattle doesn't have state or city tax, so they pay less in seattle

and they also adjust for col

[sly sparrow]

ohhh

[scenic sluice]

no taxes pog ?

[sly sparrow]

how much does it come out to after tax in nyc?

[scenic sluice]

nyc tax is 90%

rat tax

https://tenor.com/view/rat-shower-bath-soap-gif-16388990

[mild aspen]

170k in seattle is about the same in NYC after taxes without taking into account taxes

[sly sparrow]

😢

[sly sparrow]

wait so how much would i be taking home

[mild aspen]

no states taxes in Wyoming
Washington
Texas
Tennessee
South Dakota
Nevada
Florida
Alaska

[mild aspen]

in which location?

[sly sparrow]

tf i am living in alaska now

[sly sparrow]

like sf

resume value google's probably better i think

[scenic sluice]

TN has higher sales tax because of this tho

[mild aspen]

like 130 if you make 200 exactly but could change if you contribute to 401k and ira, etc

[scenic sluice]

texas moment

[sly sparrow]

oh i see

most of it is like stocks tho

[scenic sluice]

MAANGA -> everything else

[mild aspen]

yeah you still gotta pay taxes on it as if you made it in income

[sly sparrow]

bruhhh

[mild aspen]

in addition to capital gains tax when you sell

[scenic sluice]

i think that would just come down to what kind of work you're interested in

i am also not that cracked

if you have offers from companies like this, it doesn't really matter you'll be fine regardless

[sly sparrow]

tfs maanga?

[scenic sluice]

i would rank them google > stripe >= roblox > airbnb. imo

[quaint bolt]

real

[proud crag]

wut

isnt roblox above fangg

it pay better and is harder to get than gogle

i thot

[hallow scroll]

above most of faang id say but for resume value google is probably better then roblox

[static spindle]

lmao it is much easier to get than google

[hallow scroll]

google bar high now

or maybe i suck

i got hard technical

[proud crag]

someone got asked to prove np completeness in a roblox interview and still didnt get tbe job

is pure storage oa auto

[near swallow]

Oh yeah that’s fair, just cant imagine doing ML when u want swe

[static spindle]

🤷‍♀️ some interviewers fucking suck. Beyond this the bar for roblox is definitely lower, especially considering how many people from here already have offers from roblox

[hallow scroll]

yeah ive seen more roblox offers then google offers recently lol

[proud crag]

interesting

[hallow scroll]

i feel like theres always weird one off interviews like that

[proud crag]

i thought it was a cool questjon surprised he didnt get the job

[static spindle]

my friend interviewing for JPMC was getting quality assurance questions

[quaint bolt]

roblox interviews are p braindead from what I’ve been told lol

[proud crag]

it was a version of some problem roblox actually came across

[quaint bolt]

all the mindless cs drones are just brainwashed

[proud crag]

and the guy gave the npc proof and then the greedy approximation

and apparently roblox went witb the greedy solution IRL too

[quaint bolt]

can’t blame them I guess bc for the most part, more pay and hiring less people usually means the interviews are harder

Not even that, I know plenty of people not from top schools or with prev big tech who made it past the resume screen. It honestly seems like it’s purely based on the OA

[static spindle]

isn't their main screening tool the OA?

[static spindle]

yeah thats what I was thinking lol

[quaint bolt]

Bc no one can be assed to do the stupid game properly LOL

[static spindle]

nah bro sophomores from my shitty school with no prev exp have gotten offers from roblox

do they even have fall?

[quaint bolt]

they screen for silliness

[static spindle]

FUCK

I didn't meet the silly bar 😔

need to step the goof up fr!

[wise rune]

Mid September

[hardy patrol]

i have confirmed that 730 is not enough for ziprecruiter

[cold path]

what doesit feel like to be bald

[quaint bolt]

September is unfortunately considered p late this szn for Amazon

[static spindle]

apply to all the trading firms. Their OAs should be easy for you. I know a guy from my school who got JS as soph bc of ICPC

[quaint bolt]

You’re prolly gonna have to wait until January to hear back

[static spindle]

Apply to Cit, JS, Virtu, Sig, they usually send immediate OAs

[devout fractal]

[quaint bolt]

Idk you tell me

[static spindle]

also apply to JPMC bc I got an offer there as soph and they seem to be decently easy to get into if you do good on the OA

[static spindle]

and are not a weirdo during the behavioral

[quaint bolt]

cs major try not to be a weirdo challenge (impossible)

[pearl zephyr]

Yeah ill start applying to more of them, so sick of doing OA’s

[latent lily]

any international student did 40 hours a week internship besides summer?
what are some possible ways to do it? I have an offer from a Tesla and only 3 classes to take in the Spring before I graduate

[cold path]

Message #2023_summer

[quaint bolt]

That’s my lil bro

I helped him out with his cs homework

[static spindle]

bro they should take you a toenail of effort

[hardy patrol]

i can imagine a shut in csmajor farm leetcode for like 8 hours a day every day for 3 months just to blank out completely during the behavioral when they ask how you're doing and end up failing

[quaint bolt]

“Tell me how you’d resolve a conflict with your teammate?”
“Use a hash map!”

[static spindle]

but then they get an offer from amazon and go to the discord to discuss which race is superior

[quaint bolt]

wagon’s cat

[hardy patrol]

they start quoting algos like a schizo when you ask what hobbies they have

[pearl zephyr]

Yeah its more spending time on them just to get rejected been real demotivating lately

[hardy patrol]

[static spindle]

[deep valley]

Its rng at this point tbh

this is OC

im killing you

[deep valley]

Im at 2/350 at this point Ive given up till january, doubt anyone is gonna be hiring now

[pearl zephyr]

Yeah i know people with 0 past experience or coding projects that have been getting internships

[quaint bolt]

salat the first person to send that meme wym

[cold path]

WHYD IT GET MOR REACTS THAN MINE

i shouldve watermarked it

[quaint bolt]

You wouldn’t get it

[proud crag]

u see the joma video on this

[static spindle]

when are we sexism?

[hardy patrol]

[cold path]

on tuesdays we are sexism 💅

[proud crag]

its terf tuesday

[static spindle]

THATS TODAY

[cold path]

on wednesdays we wear pink 💅

[deep valley]

Dude I feel you 100%

I'm not the jealous type but its so demotivating when someone who objectively has less experience than you gets an OA/interview and you don't

Reading your other comments though I think you'll have a good shot at trading firms

Good luck hope it works out for you 👍

[proud crag]

they need it more than we do

[static spindle]

(but also try and get your resume reviewed here bc some industry people are out of touch at this point)

[cold path]

meeting rooms 2 should be lc easy

[quaint bolt]

This is true

[hardy patrol]

reminds me of that guy during the cap1 rescind psyop post who said he was happy people more successful than him got fucked over

[proud crag]

any leetcode that doesnt scale up should be easy

[hardy patrol]

funniest shit ive seen

[quaint bolt]

Industry people still have a summary on their resume

[pearl zephyr]

Roblox OA was def the worst ive done so far

[quaint bolt]

You’re hired.

[deep valley]

How? There's a difference between jealousy and envy

[hardy patrol]

i like to add a picture of my recruiter on my resume when i submit it

[hardy patrol]

IDK

[deep valley]

Then why are you saying that it reminds you of someone wishing harm on other people

[hardy patrol]

wishing harm?

[deep valley]

I'm not wishing harm on said people cause they got an interview or whatever, I'm just pointing out that I get demotivated by it

[torn fulcrum]

wow its so annoying that i got a solution for ques 4 on codesignal but it doesnt run fast enough

super L

[hardy patrol]

your thinking too deep its just a funny anecdote

[deep valley]

Yea fair enough, just not in the best mood right now

[hardy patrol]

praying on your downfall

[torn fulcrum]

ran outta time

[quaint bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/thisorlandolife-family-friendly-gif-12810980

[torn fulcrum]

5 min left wouldnt have been enough

[deep valley]

Yea jealous is like I want what you have, envy is like I hate you cause you have what you have

[torn fulcrum]

i feel that

[hardy patrol]

i gotta up my lc game

[torn fulcrum]

codesignal gave me invalid array length for q 4 but its because it wasn't computing in runtime, not because there actually was an error. i was stuck on figuring out why for like 20 min

[hardy patrol]

minmax leetcode at the expense of acting like a functioning member of society

1k is insane

the cracked people here have done only b75 and got by

[torn fulcrum]

i got 50

[hardy patrol]

not with that attitude

[torn fulcrum]

1k is cracked

thats fucking insane frfr

[hardy patrol]

id kill myself if i did more than 80 lc

[quaint bolt]

[torn fulcrum]

i think u really only need 300. u should have most concepts understood by then

[hardy patrol]

wagons how many have you done

[torn fulcrum]

im not gonna go over 300 imho

its just variations at that point

[quaint bolt]

b75 thrice

Third time being recently

[hardy patrol]

gotdam

[torn fulcrum]

be frfr, should i go into competitive programming for leetcode sake?

[hallow scroll]

I can’t redo b75 I feel like my brain auto goes to remembering the solution instead of how to get there when I redo problems like that

[quaint bolt]

I just need to remember how to code and for the most part I do ok 👌 👍

[hardy patrol]

benefits of having amnesia like me is avoiding this issue

[hallow scroll]

Need

[vagrant rain]

you could give codeforces a try

[hallow scroll]

I look at answers cuz I’m dumb but I need to stop

[vagrant rain]

oh for leetcode

ok nvm don't do that

[hardy patrol]

its 435 dont question his absolute authority

[quaint bolt]

Honestly this is p good

It has a book that goes along with it too

[pearl zephyr]

If its only for leetcode no

[quaint bolt]

Ye

[quaint bolt]

I forgot you should prolly ask @pearl zephyr

[cold path]

Wait what side do the answers show up on

[quaint bolt]

They’re more suited than everyone else here to answer this

Juda toxic arc

[hardy patrol]

toxic

put up a vote to ban him for 2 weeks

[pearl zephyr]

Codeforces isn’t miserable if you really enjoy the problem solving but it will be if you just want to get better at those leetcode questions. The questions on codeforces can be very mathy rather than implementation when you are just starting out if I remember right

C++ ❤️

[vagrant rain]

also don't forget the joys of getting solution hacked

[quaint bolt]

If this message gets 30 reacts juda is demoted from being a mod

[static spindle]

wait

[hardy patrol]

im sorry juda but this is all apart of my plan to take over your throne

[static spindle]

Juda is supposed to give me a referral when he goes to google

[quaint bolt]

I can do that

Im already going

[static spindle]

friendship ended with juda

wagons is my google referral now

[hardy patrol]

least sycophantic cs major

sorry guys i was never your friend you're all means to an end for my own benefit

[static spindle]

friendships can last a hundred years, but bag is forever 🤑💰

[quaint bolt]

It’s okay I trust people like that more

I trusted juda and look what that got me

[hardy patrol]

100%

your really smart you should put me in his place

i dont have a hidden agenda

[quaint bolt]

True

[muted summit]

i need the best strat to getting better at leetcode

i can do most mediums i think

but doing the same problems again got kinda boring

maybe it should be a once every few months type of thing

[formal gust]

What’ll you do after goog

And then?

[hidden mural]

all dp is recursion?

you mean top down?

[muted summit]

oh yeah ive seen his vids but tbh never applied it

[quaint bolt]

It’s okay you me and @devout jewel will be at goog soon

[muted summit]

This gotta be the move

[hidden mural]

i mean bottom up is also recursion

[muted summit]

i gotta stop thinking about goog team matching

Same I've done a lot more than just b75

I feel like I suck still

[hidden mural]

all DP can be solved either top down or bottom up, its just that when you do bottom up you need to be wary of the order you compute the base cases

[muted summit]

i didnt learn shit in my DSA class either maybe thats why

I think I got pretty easy questions

but thank you Juda

I think I just want to get to the point where I can be confident solving any new problem thats in the med/hard range

Right now I think I solve questions because I've seen something like it before, but I need to get better at problem solving faster

[hidden mural]

bottom up also tends to be faster/potentially more space efficient

[muted summit]

That's true

I solve questions I know how to do because it gives me a slight confidence boost sometimes

and I give up too fast on new problems, or I just try to come back to them

Mr

haha

[upbeat cradle]

Dam this guy should ta

[muted summit]

i'll work on destroying those hards 🙏

I honestly never try to do hards

Ive only tried about 5-10 on my own that weren't in the lists

[muted summit]

I did this one before

[upbeat cradle]

ya alr accepted lmao

you?

[hidden mural]

oh nice

yeah i got it

[muted summit]

I think I spent 2 hours on it

[hidden mural]

i guess im deciding between discrete or algos

[muted summit]

Its very tedious

[hidden mural]

ill probably take algos

[upbeat cradle]

bro

yea

[hidden mural]

whatd u get on the prelim lol

[muted summit]

ive never spent so long on a question before

[upbeat cradle]

LMAO

i did p well

[muted summit]

I think I also spent a while on jump game 4 https://leetcode.com/problems/jump-game-iv/

[devout jewel]

prayge

[lime stream]

Are u in process for hrt

[upbeat cradle]

no i went bust 😢

[quaint bolt]

You’re overestimating me mr juda, I don’t really do hard and haven’t really gotten a lot of hards for my interviews. You could def pass all the interviews I’ve done

[raw birch]

TuSimple oa auto?

[scenic sluice]

78 on exam

[spiral flicker]

I just received it too

[raw birch]

Yeah I applied earlier today so I assuming automatic oa

[spiral flicker]

I applied 2 months ago 😂

[raw birch]

wtf

[marble bronze]

is citadel auto? i just received today

and applied 2 months ago

[fickle ivy]

hello

anyone got info on amzn layoffs yet

[dull thunder]

hey if we’re on the amazon waitlist, do we have to reapply for Fall 2023 or is it automatically considered

[vocal junco]

wym it was ass😭

can i pm you

[mild pendant]

I have barely done any hards

Maybe like 4 idk

[quaint bolt]

goog asked hards for me but goog builds up to it so it’s easier than just being given a hard

[mild pendant]

really? Can you give an example of one

[quaint bolt]

Not w/o revealing the q

[mild pendant]

Unfortunately I wouldn’t know ab Google phone, they rejected my perfect oa 🥹

[quaint bolt]

Or like how they build up to it? Imagine you get asked 2sum, 2sum sorted, 3sum and then 4sum all in one interview

It’s something like that

[mild pendant]

I see

[quaint bolt]

And when they ask 4sum they generally want a solution to Nsum anyways

[quaint bolt]

Goog’s p selective this year from what I’ve seen

There’s prolly not gonna be a lot of projects for the summer so they’re interviewing less in response to that

[mild pendant]

n sum sounds pretty cool

reminds me of a question of n pointers I did

[gloomy plover]

I got asked a two trains (array intersection) question

Makes two sum look convoluted

[vagrant rain]

is nsum like divide and conquer with sets

[clever grail]

sushi incoming top cp-er

strange connection to make

colin on yt who makes comp programming videos legit looks like a woman

bro fooled me for too long

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsIzwrEZG8U

[clever grail]

[ivory wing]

three interviews went well and had nice interviewers but one interviewer was disrespectful af, and i prolly failed that one

[devout jewel]

gg to my dream

time to join rejected google gang 🥹🥹

[quaint bolt]

no idk about team matching that should be the same

I meant selective in terms of picking people for interviews

[devout jewel]

idk I’m getting pstd from apple

legit was like team match process

9 teams until offer

[quaint bolt]

as long as you're charming

hm calls are a breeze if you're funny

and handsome

[gloomy plover]

Well have you been getting OAs and interviews? @short nest

Is it your first?

How about callbacks

I’d say

Focus on writing up your behavioral pitch

[mossy compass]

anyone know tusimple oa difficulty

[gloomy plover]

And fixing up your resume

Alright good

Yea I’m a junior

[neat edge]

Any updates? I’m in the same boat. I wish they had an online portal k could refresh lol

[midnight sonnet]

is singlestore done hiring?

[gloomy plover]

Bellevue is great

[quaint bolt]

[half plinth]

why so

[gloomy plover]

Good tech hub

[cinder girder]

☕ waiting for Cisco

[crisp berry]

bruh

krishna

go outside

you're literally being gokugate13

[cinder girder]

How to learn about APIs

[gloomy plover]

Waiting for Cisco too

[cinder girder]

Cisco Systems eh

I got the interview

[gloomy plover]

Ohhhh

[cinder girder]

Waiting for offer fr

[gloomy plover]

I’m waiting on meraki

[crisp berry]

didnt cisco mass layoff

[cinder girder]

No clue about that but their intern counts are going up apparently

[gloomy plover]

I feel kind of sad I Got rejected from a good startup but anyways

Layoffs season so everyone is affected

Oh dear

Gotta teach them young

Don’t repeat mistakes of their elders

[cinder girder]

That's because they are playing it long term

In a couple years when their interns graduate they might come back and they are alr trained

Less costs for them in the future

[gloomy plover]

Is getting an internship is hard as new grad?

Would y’all agree on it especially given this season? …

[cinder girder]

Cheaper way of doing so

[gloomy plover]

It could mean full time down the line

[crisp berry]

Leaders are owners. They think long term and don’t sacrifice long-term value for short-term results.

[real sedge]

r u sayin internship is as hard to get as a new grad role?

[gloomy plover]

Leaders are owners. They think long term and don’t sacrifice long-term value for short-term results.

[real sedge]

not if u lie lmao

[gloomy plover]

No I meant as not

Like no work experience nothing

Just projects and school stuff

[real sedge]

i dont understand wat ur sayin

[crisp berry]

i understand him completely

[gloomy plover]

Is getting an internship this season (without prior experience) as hard as new grad

[real sedge]

ok 😃 👍

[real sedge]

no

new grad dis yr is fucked

[crisp berry]

He has relentlessly high standards — many people may think these standards are unreasonably high. He is continually raising the bar and drive their teams to deliver high quality products, services, and processes. He is ensuring that defects do not get sent down the line and that problems are fixed so they stay fixed.

[gloomy plover]

Yeah I can’t imagine for new grad

Kind of worse then my situation but

I’m headed that way

[real sedge]

hopefully the situation should improve by then

[gloomy plover]

So this intern season is really for me to practice for future and to acquire knowledge by then

[karmic path]

da abov links

[cinder girder]

tyty

So it looks like leetcode but like actual grading metrics

[real sedge]

they grade based off of time as well

[cinder girder]

🤨 so 1, 2, 4th has the best time/point ratio

3rd if you have time?

what's the threshhold?

like what do you need for dropbox

[gloomy plover]

Me with 4 interviews

[real sedge]

i'd say a 750 min, 800 to be safe

[gloomy plover]

They weren’t true technicals with whiteboards or whatever

[real sedge]

but thats a guess

[cinder girder]

yeah same

[gloomy plover]

@cinder girder wait actually, define true technical

[cinder girder]

LC

or design

[gloomy plover]

Mine were mostly behavioral technical

[cinder girder]

I got asked how to center a div in the cisco interview

[gloomy plover]

One with a LC easy like question which I optimized

[cinder girder]

[gloomy plover]

Wtf

[cinder girder]

with flex

[gloomy plover]

That’s even harder than my ask

[cinder girder]

and what each of the flex things meant

I couldn't explain what the flex axis really did

[gloomy plover]

Mine was return array of times of arrays of two trains that intersect

Going from o(n^2) to o(n) with hashmap

[cinder girder]

Also like what is one drawback of a browser vs a native app

[gloomy plover]

Oh ok

The guy even asked me why I would use nested loops instead of hashmap

[cinder girder]

Also general limitations of web browsers

[gloomy plover]

To save memory even at the expense of being more efficient

[cinder girder]

He asked how does react work under the hood and stuff

[gloomy plover]

Oh snap

I feel like I’m good with resume reviews

[cinder girder]

can I dump my resume on you then

[gloomy plover]

Haven’t applied to enough places with my recent version

My interviewer used my old resume haha

I updated it so much then

[gloomy plover]

Sure

[gloomy plover]

I’ll reciprocate

Holy shit I’m a junior haha

Let’s take it to dms

[gloomy plover]

One recruiter was confused how I found their email

But then told me I was rejected so lmao

[real sedge]

i've never been asked

i woud jus say i used a sales tool lol

[gloomy plover]

Fair haha

The thing is

[earnest hatch]

lmao, sorry

[gloomy plover]

Their info is on the internet

Or on LinkedIn where they connect with 1k people

[gloomy plover]

Happened once haha

Haha I did

And clicked contact info

Got the email

Pog yes fr will use that

Sort of desperate

[earnest hatch]

Which setting makes them respond?

I'm emailing [e-mail] and telling him to get you off the waitlist

[sinful locust]

but gets ur linkedin acc banned

🙂

yeah lmao

they dont allow third party extensions g

[scenic sluice]

bruh

[sinful locust]

certain ones at least

[crisp berry]

how would they know lol

[sinful locust]

they can know lmfao

the page changes up code i

g

[crisp berry]

how

that doesnt make any sense

why would it not just change the front end

like what do you mean the "page changes up code"

[real sedge]

how

[sinful locust]

ok listen

idk

but ive tried it

[real sedge]

you dont connect ur linkedin lol

[sinful locust]

and they detect sus activity

huh

i mean if u use on linkedin directly

[real sedge]

oh i didnt lol

[crisp berry]

thats probably more beacause you were spamming peoples profiles

they cant see if you have an extension installed

it doesnt work like that

[sinful locust]

hm

[real sedge]

i just used their own webapp lol

[real sedge]

also ya if u spam search ppl on linkedin u get banned regardless

[earnest hatch]

I always prefer emailing, no one has ever responded to a LinkedIn message

[real sedge]

i kno ppl who got banned 4 spam searchin lol

[crisp berry]

actually hold on

does anybody know how websites are able to see when you have an adblocker extension

maybe it is visible

[real sedge]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/adblock-detect-react

[sinful locust]

also

this isnt good lol

u can only see 25 emails max

its one of those pay for email things

[crisp berry]

https://tms-outsource.com/blog/posts/how-do-websites-detect-adblock/#:~:text=Once loaded%2C the software compares,appears to have advertising elements.

[real sedge]

oh is it? i swear it's unlimited lookup?

[sinful locust]

its better than most though

[crisp berry]

i was looking more for the how

[sinful locust]

oh i mean u have to change params

then sure

[crisp berry]

but yeah this isnt applicable to the way apollo works

[sinful locust]

but like u cant get to see more

[real sedge]

u coud look at the source code

[crisp berry]

so i would be surprised if they could detect it

[real sedge]

fetch(url, {
      method: "HEAD",
      mode: "no-cors",
      cache: "no-store",
    }).catch(() => {
      setAdBlockDetected(true);
    });

let url = "ad domain or smth"

[plain wedge]

hey yall, im currently deciding between walmart and realtor.com for next summer, and was wondering what's the general consensus of these two companies in terms of resume presence lol.

[cinder girder]

yup

modified awesomecv so that it looks less clunky and passes through the ATS 100%

[muted summit]

yo i use the same format too

but mine is dark blue

[cinder girder]

I made quite a lot of modifications

[muted summit]

ive had good luck

[cinder girder]

66% interview rate

we vibin

[muted summit]

yeah yours is pretty clean

i think mine is closer to awesome cv

[cinder girder]

I did get advice from managers and stuff I've networked with

So I heavily modified it

The overall structure is the same but font sizes, weights, etc are different

[muted summit]

i think i applied to 30 places and heard back from around 10 so it did me rly well

but tbh idk if its the format

[cinder girder]

I've been told to just remove the locations of placements

[cinder girder]

yo can you dm me your resume if that's okay

I want to compare

[quaint bolt]

[crisp berry]

wtf

[muted summit]

i dont have anonymized

[crisp berry]

@sinful locust you're so cracked

[muted summit]

i just have an internship at a bay area robotics company

[crisp berry]

how tf

i emailed like 20 apple recruiters

[muted summit]

@honest spire worth a shot LOL

jakes is fine

[sinful locust]

20 is nothing

recueierrs don’t help

i emailed 400 EMs

still rookie

[crisp berry]

is that an exaggeration

[sinful locust]

no

[crisp berry]

or actually 400

[sinful locust]

actually

chimi emailed 1000+

or linkedin reached out to

[crisp berry]

ok after my internship ends im making a script

[cinder girder]

ah rip LMAO I kinda just scratched on w ms paint kek

[sinful locust]

yeah lol

just make it a basic email

[cinder girder]

it's called awesome cv

[crisp berry]

bichotaso munaño

after my internship ends

can i dm you my email template

[quaint bolt]

me when I receive my 100th cold email from a cscd user

[cinder girder]

I haven't sent out an email yet

😎

[sinful locust]

dude just email…

[cinder girder]

only sent applications on company website

Just write an elevator pitch

[crisp berry]

also dont EM only want u if ur resume is specific to their team

[cinder girder]

wait lemme find my cover letter that also is an email format type thing

[crisp berry]

i feel like ith 400 90% will be waste

[quaint bolt]

Not necessarily

What’re the chances you find an intern who specializes in payments lol

[cinder girder]

@honest spire this is like my default thing

if you want it

[quaint bolt]

More often than not they want generalist swe but if your exp happens to line up with their team then that’s even better

[cinder girder]

a bit too formal tho

[crisp berry]

https://tenor.com/view/face-with-raised-eyebrow-emoji-the-rock-eyebrow-gif-25776927

embedded team managers when they see my web dev resume

[quaint bolt]

I had zero C++ on my resume for akuna

[crisp berry]

i feel like i should wait until next season to email apple EMs tho

idk

like i think amazon boost would help?

[cinder girder]

me having a freelance web dev contract and interviewing for networking

[cinder girder]

what are EMs

[crisp berry]

stands for eatma

[quaint bolt]

Rem sleep

Rapid eye movement

[quaint bolt]

They’re a freshman

[cinder girder]

[quaint bolt]

You tryna catch a case?

https://tenor.com/view/bear-police-bear-cute-stop-gif-13583674

[cinder girder]

18 since october lol

[crisp berry]

[quaint bolt]

Might as well be 12

Freshmen are still in hs as far as I’m concerned

[quaint bolt]

Def will

[earnest hatch]

It doesn't matter, let your resume do the speaking

I just write in my emails "Please interview me" and attach my resume. Keep it short and simple.

[quaint bolt]

Look at me

What’s your cumulative average paper man

[crisp berry]

80 something

85?

i put gpa

so idk

[quaint bolt]

If it’s high 80s or low 90s you’ll prolly get interviews everywhere on ww

[cinder girder]

basically what I have for my cover letter as my last line "I have attached my résumé for your review and would welcome the chance to speak with you if you feel I’d be a strong candidate for this or any other position in your organization."

😭

[quaint bolt]

Esp with amazon on your resume

L

[crisp berry]

for one term only

[cinder girder]

💀

[quaint bolt]

My gpa is low 80s and I don’t get nothing even with 5th coop + amazon

It’s literally just a gpa game so prolly won’t help unless you’re top of your class anyways

[cinder girder]

I am barely over a 90% rn 🤠

[muted summit]

My gpa fucking sucks

i hope no one sees it

[quaint bolt]

We’re talking about Waterloo’s internal job system

[cinder girder]

waterloo

[crisp berry]

waterlooworks has a lot of competition though

[quaint bolt]

Employers can, and do, filter by gpa

[crisp berry]

compared to external i feel like

[quaint bolt]

Once you land a faang, you’re better than most ww people in terms of resume

[cinder girder]

well all the loo kids are going through ww so ofc it will be competitive

[quaint bolt]

The issue is gpa filtering lol

They can filter by gpa

[crisp berry]

ive always heard people say gpa doesnt matter aside from like wish + bloomberg

[cinder girder]

We have to give GPAs too but they don't really filter by GPA they just use it as like a tie breaker

[earnest hatch]

Where can Americans sign up for Waterloo works?

[crisp berry]

wish ded

[muted summit]

wtf gpa matters for bloomberg?

[quaint bolt]

That was the case before covid

[cinder girder]

if you get into waterloo

[quaint bolt]

Everyone’s gpa’s hella inflated rn

[muted summit]

i dont have my gpa on my resume and got an on site with them LOL

[quaint bolt]

So if you don’t have low 90s or high 80s it’s gg

[cinder girder]

🤠 will I be able to keep a low 90% w second year courses next term

[quaint bolt]

On Waterloo’s job system yes

[cinder girder]

maybe 🤨

[muted summit]

ohhh ok

im just tryna graduate now 😭

[quaint bolt]

ece term average for the entire class for 2B was a 90%

arguably the hardest major in Waterloo with a 90% class average lmao
