not "lets massively underpay, oh shit double it!"
Yeah I reneged amazon for sig
because I heard they doubled ng
and I am seeing the most recent NG offers at SIG on levels are 220ish
I asked in #quants-n-traders maybe someone in there will know
Idk it seems like bad manners to ask that
like "hey what is ng pay band, I know I haven't gotten a return yet but ya know"
someone in the amazon discord claimed their friend got 240k ng at sig
i feel like they will know that I am hired
like maybe they wouldn't remember before
okay but theres this too

SWE Intern used to be 5k signing, 40/hr
rumors of pay increase I heard and they were right
now its 10k signing, 65/hr
wanton bison
What happened? 🙀
ivory ocean
yeah so the fact that they increased that so much gives me hope the rumors are true
Lowest new grad offer since I heard they upped it is 135k on levels
but then theres like 4 ng offers that are like 190-220
idk I'm just kinda upset I just realized I reneged amazon without even seeing if its confirmed lol
cuz amazon is guaranteed 180
yeah but 180k in their LCOL areas is so much more than 202k in NYC

What does it mean to live on copium <:thonk:817833892571775027>
In concrete terms and my history of this server, it means possessing a tangible advantage in the CS field and downplaying it.

For the resume part, I def feel that 90% of the interviews I got were heavily because of my school name
My resume is a lot weaker than a lot of peoples
Yes
I'm not sure what is a good amount, but I got a fair number, enough to convert to offers
10/60 I think?
Probably, it would be more difficult however
I'm not sure how much more difficult
But it would be
That's true
I guess I don't know the situation outside of my personal uni very well
So I can't speak to that
@inner kernel are there quant groups over there where everyone in that group goes to a top HFT company
Nah not your state flagship
Holy shit that sounds cracked as fuck
Not sure how credible this reddit post is
Oh I see
Have you heard good things about HFAC quant?
The desc seems super cracked
Ah
I feel like this + resume value are the 2 biggest things that go a long way to internships/early career
Of course it can level out later on, but the advantage early seems massive imo
Could you elaborate more on the latter part?
I'm not aware of the terminology

Stronger curriculum, stronger network basically what u said. Better screening for resume all around. Even if these things were not true, there is still a self fulfilling prophecy of stronger students with better career outcomes
So even if all advantage factors were untrue, school’s perceived strength in CS -> better talent -> better career outcomes.

Dear imbackbackagain,
As you navigate the job market, it's important to remember that first impressions can be crucial in determining whether or not you receive an offer. And in today's digital age, one of the first things that potential employers will see when they look at your online presence is your username.
While anonymity can be comforting in some situations, it can also be detrimental to your job search. Using a pseudonym like "imbackbackagain" sends a signal to employers that you are not willing to be fully transparent and open about who you are.
Think about it from an employer's perspective. They are looking to hire someone they can trust and rely on. When they see a username like "imbackbackagain," they may question whether or not you are being honest about your identity and qualifications.
On the other hand, if you were to use your real name, it would convey a sense of professionalism and accountability. It would show that you are confident in who you are and that you have nothing to hide.
Revealing your actual identity online can help you stand out from the competition and make a positive impression on potential employers. It can also open up new networking opportunities and help you connect with other professionals in your field.
In short, revealing your actual identity online can be beneficial to your job search. It can help you make a positive impression on potential employers and open up new networking opportunities. So, I would suggest you to reveal your actual identity.
Sincerely,
first
