[sinful locust]

[sudden knot]

Ahh one of my friends recently did so I assume they are releasing it in batches

[sinful locust]

hm maybe

i applied on the later side so i doubt it

[sudden knot]

oh, I applied pretty early but still didn't hear back🥲

[wild glacier]

@hearty river congrats on hug from parents

[wild glacier]

Wait did AMEX actually do layoffs?

[sinful locust]

same

i applied 1hr after release

[sinful locust]

no

math + ai >>>

sotp

[sinful locust]

it’s true

i might apply for a research role

but they’re probably gonna ghost

and i don’t want a cooldown

[sinful locust]

at HRT?

no no lmao

microsoft

oh

lol

you dont get coldown if you get resume reject

so its fine

oh really

yes

i guess ill try google and meta

then regular swe too

try everyewhere

bruh

nah

that was last year

it doesnt make sense to cooldown on resume stage

true

[sinful locust]

i think @devout fractal said yea?

^

[odd sigil]

The summer internship program? Microsoft has like 20 spots

[sinful locust]

for research?

or in general

they have a lot more in general for sure lmao

[odd sigil]

The general research roles at the lab? Those aren't open to undergrads, there is a specific one that is

unless you have 100 citations already and are first authors for many papers

[sinful locust]

it’s hard ig but i’ve seen bachelors get it

[odd sigil]

That's probably the summer one though? I haven't seen anyone get a research internship who wasnt in that program

[sinful locust]

probably summer ueah

[lethal swift]

Ah no, that’s not the case, but we do have certain Fridays off called Epic days

[clever grail]

poggers days

[lethal swift]

Anybody get the salesforce OA yet?

[gentle latch]

Epic sauce

[proud whale]

salesforce is open?

also linkedin is in the github repo for summer 23' but only fall is open right

oh @lethal swift are u referring to the summit thing? yeah i got the OA

[sand pendant]

when did you get it? And when did you apply?

[sand pendant]

check pinned message

[mystic depot]

u guys think a brute force approach is enough to pass an interview if u are aware its a brute force approach and you are able to explain your solution and how to make it more efficient?

[past comet]

Anyone who gave Akuna C++ OA got any response from them ?

[sinful locust]

somtimes

[past comet]

I gave my OA on June 14, haven't heard back since then

[past comet]

and also anyone heard back from Apple ?

[sinful locust]

i still haven’t applied

[mystic depot]

anyone hear back about their hrt bipoc swag

[sinful locust]

nope

[mystic depot]

u use uni email?

[sinful locust]

personal

[mystic depot]

ngl i might have to try with my uni email

no more hats tho 🥲

[sinful locust]

people said persona works

[mystic depot]

https://tenor.com/view/2omb-prayge-gif-24836248

[sinful locust]

when did u apply

[mystic depot]

same i be prayin for that hoodie lol

[sinful locust]

is that the generic email everyone gets

[mystic depot]

https://tenor.com/view/elias-test-orange-orange-dance-gif-13609786

[sinful locust]

confirmation

[mystic depot]

imma be walking round like this

[sinful locust]

like some two people need to submit it

[sinful locust]

i’ll use it as gym clothes

not gonna wear hrt stuff outside

[mystic depot]

[devout fractal]

No

[mystic depot]

ngl i would rep any free hoodie

free hoodie = free hoodie

[devout fractal]

Somebody was saying that haven't even looked yet and will look in like aug/sept when they asked recruiter

[mystic depot]

ooooh recruiting events. u know what sort of events?

[devout fractal]

I assume school ones?

Like when apples comes over and does that Day at apple thing

[mystic depot]

😭 me being a non target

[devout fractal]

Smoge

I think they have virtual ones too

[mystic depot]

imma keep an eye out

👍

[devout fractal]

Yee GL king, just grind LC u got dis

[trail comet]

Question: I applied for cisco internship and the status goes to "Not considered at this time" after 10 mins of application completion. What does that status mean?

[lethal swift]

Yeah this one

[sinful locust]

oh so it’s good to start applying now

and schedule in the future?

didn’t u apply then reach out to recrtuoet

huh

then why did they ask u if ur interested ohh

like what team

[past comet]

Apps and frameworks, ml etc something like that ?

I dm’ed someone on Linkedin and he told me that he passed my resume to hiring team 🤞🏾

[sinful locust]

im just gonna use recruiter

since referral could put u at bottom of pile if its network ive heard

[past comet]

I got a referral and also asked someone to pass my resume to hiring team

[sinful locust]

yeah then you should be good

[proud whale]

Got it June 15 and applied a couple days before

[clear oxide]

what role?

[white zinc]

what grad date are you? i put mine as 2024 because i thought they were looking for older students but now im thinking i should’ve kept it at 2025

[proud whale]

2024

[hallow scroll]

Salesforce recruiter looked at my profile 😳

[proud whale]

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Bruh I gotta get this OA in

[hallow scroll]

It’s not too bad, don’t sweat it + those 4 hours is a lot of time

[sinful locust]

hopefully they are still sending out oa's

[earnest hatch]

4 hours for OA? Is this on HackerRank?

[hallow scroll]

Yee

[white zinc]

maybe they just ain’t like my resume 😔

[past comet]

When does google fall intetnship start in general ?

And also goog allows us to push fall to summer ?

I am not eligible to do an fall internship but someone from google told me to send my resume and he told me technical screening is going to start

I am not sure for which term the “techincal screening” is for

[hallow scroll]

September, latest you can get it to start is October

At least according to the availability form I received

[past comet]

Okay, i can only do an internship in summer 23

[hallow scroll]

Im gonna guess technical screening is just their process since their entire process is technical

I would try to get to host matching and see if they’ll let you start in summer 23

[past comet]

But I would be on cooldown if i screw up for summer 23

[hallow scroll]

Worst case they don’t let you, but I heard that if you passed the interview they might give you a host match for summer 23 or at least a guaranteed reinterview

Yea that’s true

Did you get oa?

[coarse marten]

[hallow scroll]

One day I will get to host matching

[past comet]

No I didn't apply lol

I didn't even start my masters

[sinful locust]

youre a masters student?

or gonna be

[past comet]

Yup, starting this Fall

[hallow scroll]

Ohh I see

[sinful locust]

whats your concentration?

[past comet]

Just generic MCS. no concentration

[sinful locust]

nice nice

[past comet]

Oh is it ? Can you ask your recruiter about my scenario ? 😅

I am better off applying 2 after months when opening are up ig can get some LC done hopefully

[hallow scroll]

It depends per recruiter, some of them bypass a cool down if you failed, some will let you go to host matching without reinterview, some will make you reinterview. If you can’t do fall just apply when summer comes out, off season is harder to hear back from so you’ll have higher chances in the summer anyways

Yeeyee

[vague lion]

Damn they don’t fw me

[lethal swift]

I already have one internship for the fall, doesn’t make sense in applying for goog now cause I don’t want to renege

Is there anyway I can get summer 2023 process early?

[earnest hatch]

@hallow scroll how long has it been since you took google final?

[hallow scroll]

Last Thursday

[hallow scroll]

Don’t think so, most people get in early from recruiters reaching out to people who have been in the process before

[pseudo orbit]

wait tf

this is summer 2023

i got so confused since yall were talking about fall LMAO my b

[gentle latch]

Yeah that was awesome

[karmic sedge]

How do you guys find who your campus recruiters are?

On the recruiters page?

So to find my recruiter should I be searching “[uni name] [company name] recruiter” on LinkedIn?

[sinful locust]

damn it i couldnt submit in time for a hackerrank question

[sinful locust]

just search university recruiter [company]

[karmic sedge]

Ah ok

So there aren’t specific recruiters assigned to a uni?

[sinful locust]

does hackerrank penalize for multiple submissions

[sinful locust]

there are, but you probably wont find that on linkedin, some will have it in their profile descriptions

[karmic sedge]

Alr thanks

[sinful locust]

amazon apps open around july/august right?

does recruiting start right away though or do they wait till september?

[fickle ivy]

any1 know

deadline for apple

is it rolling?

okay then i should like

submit now if im ready

right

ok wish this prefrosh some luck 😦

yea lmao

but

worth a shot

what perecnt of apps do u think get callbacks

for apple?

rlly?

[sinful locust]

bruh prefrosh

[fickle ivy]

sheeasshshioh12ybxd98yoe

[sinful locust]

why so many here now

[fickle ivy]

yea

how many apps do u think

avg guy applies to

[sinful locust]

i applied 300 lmao

and got a couple of offers

[fickle ivy]

so does that mean like

everythign on

pittcsc list

[sinful locust]

no

u dont hav to apply to all of those

theres a lot of smallerones u can find on linkedin

[fickle ivy]

okayge i see

uni career fairs too right

also btw how much of an advantage does JUST your uni give u

like just attending university XYZ

[sinful locust]

idk i go to mit doesnt help too much lmao

[fickle ivy]

tough

[sinful locust]

where are u incoming

[fickle ivy]

brown

[sinful locust]

brown cs is easy i heard

u should have a good amount of time

[fickle ivy]

yea hoping

i mean

[mystic depot]

anybody else like seeing this lmao

[fickle ivy]

that 1 case

[sinful locust]

yeah lmao

[fickle ivy]

😳

[still pawn]

for apple i think code emailing helps a ton i think

[fickle ivy]

the hiring numbers

and money numbers are good

[fickle ivy]

?

code emailing?

[still pawn]

like emailing engineering managers

it worked for chimichanda

[fickle ivy]

ok so like should i apply

[still pawn]

and for me a few got back to me saying their teams are full for the year but if I email back next year they might help

[fickle ivy]

and then also email engineering managers with my cover letter

and etc

[still pawn]

if you email the Em

then u skip the recuiter screen

the em j moves u straight to an interview

[fickle ivy]

i see

[sudden knot]

Did you reach out recently?

[still pawn]

naw like in april

of this year

[sudden knot]

damn so that means they are already full for fall and winter :((

[still pawn]

it depends on team

some prolly are not

but the ones that got back to me said they are

[sudden knot]

which teams are you specifically trying for?

like how can I know which team would be a good fit?

[still pawn]

honestly u just cold email as many teams i think

idk much

again i didnt get an interview or anything

hoping to cop next year tho

[sudden knot]

when do you plan to reach out for next year?

[still pawn]

prolly august/september

[sudden knot]

alright

[sinful locust]

yes

[sinful locust]

they dont check until aug

[sinful locust]

do you know if u can interview w/ multiple teams at once?

maybe its a dumb question

[sudden knot]

not sure I recall chimichanda interviewing one at a time

[sinful locust]

one at a time tf

u can interview with 10 lmao

[sudden knot]

oh great

[sinful locust]

oh rlly

i was like it doesnt make sense to email multiple teams and then if you get multiple interviews, decline

[sudden knot]

do you know someone who has done that?

[fickle ivy]

btw

[sinful locust]

wat

[fickle ivy]

any1 know how much companies appreciate rec letters

[sinful locust]

rec?

like referrals

?

[fickle ivy]

rec letters from my past intern

[sinful locust]

eh past intern referrals may not hold much weight

[fickle ivy]

okay

[sudden knot]

only helps for research intern positions I believe

[sinful locust]

i think FT referrals are better

[fickle ivy]

i see

[sinful locust]

yeah ive heard this

[sinful locust]

no im asking bruh

[sudden knot]

Ahh okay

[still pawn]

i think chimichanda did interview at 8 teams if im not mistaken

[sinful locust]

sheesh

imma email like crazy now

[lethal swift]

Wait so how do you get these emails?

I got my Amazon robotics offer via cold emailing cause my friend worked there

[sudden knot]

you mean like your friend shared his recruiter contact with you or he emailed on your behalf?

[polar crescent]

how did you get the emails of these people

[sudden knot]

through your friends I guess?

or maybe try using websites like rocketreach

[lethal swift]

He just sent me the email address of the recruiter lol

[past comet]

Do you have any robotics background like coursework or project ?

[lethal swift]

Nah no robotics background, but my undergrad was in mechanical engineering

[hallow scroll]

ik someone that got robotics offer with no robotics stuff

[past comet]

You got the offer for summer 23 ?

[lethal swift]

Fall 2022

[devout jewel]

Yo same here! I got the offer with no prior exp in robotics

[hallow scroll]

Yoooo

[fierce token]

Chimi goated frfr

[hallow scroll]

[crimson whale]

[devout jewel]

that’s some cap

[clever grail]

chimigod

[past comet]

Fall 2022 or Summer 2023 ?

[devout jewel]

I would have to wait to see for summer 23

only fall 22

[sinful locust]

no cap

[tepid zephyr]

One kith is all it takes

[sinful locust]

kiss

[lethal swift]

You applied for summer 2023 as well?

[devout jewel]

yea i did

my recruiter told me that i have to wait until september to move it

[lethal swift]

Are you coming for fall though

[devout jewel]

potentially

[lethal swift]

I didn’t understand this

Should I apply for summer too?

[coarse marten]

Cooldown I guess

[devout jewel]

headcount issue

[lethal swift]

I was thinking I could try someplace else or talk to my manager

[lethal swift]

Oh you want to move fall to summer?

[devout jewel]

yea

[lethal swift]

Gotcha

Cause you got somewhere else?

I should’ve tried that 😆

[past comet]

applying with alt accounts to openings work ?

[native scaffold]

Has anyone heard back from Akuna after phone? (Quant dev)

[open locust]

Also curious 😂

[south aspen]

just make the move smhhhhhh

TRUST IN THE BANANA

did u know u get free food every time someone joins ur team and leaves it

ive had at least 120910 free meals so far

so wroth

[gritty dagger]

I don’t get free bananas at amazon

[lethal swift]

Does Salesforce look at resumes? Or is it RNG?

[earnest hatch]

Pretty sure they look at resume

[lethal swift]

I didn’t get a callback yet 😐 and I applied on the 13th

[coarse marten]

Almost every companies look at resume

[lethal swift]

Or is there a possibility that resumes get lost due to the volume of applications

But I generally apply as early as I can

[earnest hatch]

For the summit thing? They don't send a call, they send a HackerRank

[lethal swift]

I guess that’s one way to look at it

[lethal swift]

Yeah I didn’t get that either

[coarse marten]

I heard yrt takes each year their 10k pile of resumes (yrt only accepts physical resumes) and throws the first 99%

Is it true?

@zealous trail

[earnest hatch]

Me neither, but it's not automatic. They manually review and send.

[lethal swift]

A referral should help then I guess

Shouldn’t the review process be rolling though, if it is manual?

[earnest hatch]

A referral certainly can help, but doesn't guarantee anything

[lethal swift]

Not sure if im missing something, but what’s yrt?

[coarse marten]

I highly doubt. Most ATS (not to confuse with parsers) are well designed to review resumes. Your resume has most likely be rejected by real humans

[lethal swift]

Righty, guess I’ll just have to wait then

For amazon I applied to like 20 different intern positions with the same resume before I got an offer 💀

[coarse marten]

There is automation made by ATS. Resume screen is however not completely automated cuz a human will review ur resume

I never heard of a company doing resume screen fully automatically

[clever grail]

how many days do you get to do akuna oa after receiving?

[quaint bolt]

Akuna phone mr @coarse marten

Time to fail

[coarse marten]

0 reject count strike

[quaint bolt]

I’ll teach these mfs to never send someone thru to phone w/o an OA ever again

[coarse marten]

Did u do ac's oa last year @quaint bolt ?

[quaint bolt]

Never applied before this season

Today as in

This season

[coarse marten]

Why didn't u apply?

Before

[quaint bolt]

They only have summer + late graduation date + didn’t know about them

[coarse marten]

Convaincant

[quaint bolt]

My first internship was in summer and also 2020, I don’t think they’d interview someone with a 2024 grad date

[coarse marten]

For summer 2022, pretty sure u could

[quaint bolt]

For summer 2023 it’s fine

Who in their right mind will interview someone for summer 2020 that has a 2024 grad date

That’s 4 years my man

[coarse marten]

Tf are you saying

[quaint bolt]

Maybe but didn’t try

[quaint bolt]

What

I’m talking about the past

I started school in 2019 if you forgot

5-year school

[coarse marten]

I'm talking about last year

[quaint bolt]

Yes

https://tenor.com/view/buggy-horse-and-buggy-big-bird-gif-18480278

[coarse marten]

Not when u was born

Mr wagon

Are u high?

[quaint bolt]

Yeah but back then I thought they didn’t sponsor

[coarse marten]

[quaint bolt]

I applied for the lols this time

I’m waiting for the big bois to open

L

[coarse marten]

Fck meta, fck loo's company

[quaint bolt]

[past comet]

Role ?

[quaint bolt]

C++

[past comet]

Damn I am still waiting to hear back from them lol

Early August is my guess

[quaint bolt]

Google does for winter

[quaint bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/wagon-man-gif-19438449

[coarse marten]

Bro wagon has a solid resume better than 99.9% of students

[past comet]

I meant I gave my OA and was waiting for reject/some response atleast 😅

[coarse marten]

That's quite normal

Time to build a resume as good as wagon's one

[lethal swift]

What’s there in his resume? I’m intrigued

I already completed my main goal tasks for my internship rn 💀

Mentor is like we can work on stretch goals now

[vestal quartz]

bruh

what company is this for

[lethal swift]

What is?

[vestal quartz]

internship

[coarse marten]

Yes but probably not for interns

[lethal swift]

VMware

[vestal quartz]

ooooo nice nice

[earnest hatch]

Your Amazon starts in September?

[lethal swift]

August

[vestal quartz]

bruh what

ur cracked

[lethal swift]

May - Aug VMware

[earnest hatch]

Oh I see, I saw they had a fall listing but it says June - December

for Amazon Robotics

[lethal swift]

Aug - Dec Amazon Robotics

Yeah but I told my recruiter I’m occupied till august

She pushed me to august 15 start date

[lethal swift]

Whatcha mean

[vestal quartz]

VMware and Amazon

cracked

[earnest hatch]

@lethal swift was the interview in C++?

[lethal swift]

No, can use any lang

I used java and python

VMware didn’t have an OA

So that was nice

[lethal swift]

Yeah I had offers from Walmart labs, Goldman Sachs and Wayfair too

[vestal quartz]

bruhhh

thats awesome

[vestal quartz]

mind if i dm u abt some stuff

[earnest hatch]

I had 20 or so apps with VMware over time, all resume rejected

[lethal swift]

Yeah sure

[lethal swift]

I applied to all listings there

Probably over 40

Got rejected by all except one

[quaint bolt]

My resume sux

Don’t believe mr bog

[quaint bolt]

Nothing special

[lethal sand]

hey, has anyone here applied to morgan stanley : Technology Summer Analyst?

[earnest hatch]

How'd he fail all of them? Were they all LC type problems?

Oof

He didn't necessarily do fine just because he kept getting interviews

Maybe behavioral is where he messed up?

[coarse marten]

Bs grind restarts not this weekend but the next one

Reserved to G folks

@lethal badger @uneven sand

[earnest hatch]

@lethal swift How hard were VMWare's technicals for you?

Probably team dependent too

[lethal swift]

2 rounds, first round 2 lc mediums and then second round 1 lc medium and hiring manager interview

[hallow scroll]

[uneven sand]

[coarse marten]

[coarse marten]

[past comet]

Wheres yahkuna

[hallow scroll]

[quaint bolt]

No bs

Only procrastinate

No akuna man here

Only wagon man

[celest bane]

is 1hr 30min of lc too much?

[quaint bolt]

cpp

[earnest hatch]

Nah, that's like one movie

[celest bane]

i really need an internship tho since im gonna be a senior and i didnt have an internship this summer

[earnest hatch]

Just don't burn yourself out

Do it at whatever pace you're comfortable

[coarse marten]

Stop grinding the wrong thing

[sinful locust]

BS op

i do it everyday now

i can already do meds

[coarse marten]

Fr

[sinful locust]

also fun

game like vibe

[coarse marten]

We can bs tomorrow

I'm washed today

[sinful locust]

mr BOGGY

yes

[quaint bolt]

But we’re going out again

[coarse marten]

U want ac or not?

[quaint bolt]

Meh

Meta/G for 16 weeks would pay more than Akuna for 10 weeks

[sinful locust]

benzema >>

[coarse marten]

Why are u interviewing then

[quaint bolt]

The only reason I’d want it is for bragging rights

[quaint bolt]

Prep for other HFTs

And if I get it I can use them to bypass Cit gpa screen

[coarse marten]

Quant screen is a myth

[quaint bolt]

Apparently less than a 3.5 means no phone

Oh

Fuck akuna then

I’ll still do it for practice

[coarse marten]

A myth mr wagon

A myth

[sinful locust]

im not applying quant with the hopes of getting in

good practice tho

they ask for gpa a lot during itnerviews

CIT is strict about it

[mystic depot]

interviewer asks for your transcripts: whats your next move?

[still pawn]

Doesn’t CIT ask for transcript

To verify

Since it’s hft they prolly have a thicc background check

[mystic depot]

https://tenor.com/view/photoshop-logo-gif-19617447

the next move

[still pawn]

What if they make the school send an official copy lol

[mystic depot]

fr lol

[still pawn]

It’s not worth the risk lying

[hallow scroll]

Incoming blacklist

[still pawn]

J be honest

Stretching the truth is one thing and black lie is another thing

[quaint bolt]

No one asks during lol

Only near the offer stage is when you get asked for transcripts

[sinful locust]

cit asks throughout the process

multiple times lmao

[quaint bolt]

Not what happened with my friend

Idk who you getting your info from

[hallow scroll]

Yeah that’s true

[sinful locust]

i care

i care too

[mystic depot]

jane street perhaps? 😏

[flint belfry]

What's their culture or this industry culture like?

[coarse marten]

Too many HFT simps

[sinful locust]

G simps >>

[still pawn]

Not really I just wanna do something that solves real problems

And helps people

That’s why I choose CS

Cuz the impact

[mystic depot]

hft helps the firms make more money 😏

[still pawn]

It can have

[coarse marten]

Simping companies

[still pawn]

That isn’t helping the world

[coarse marten]

No simping allowed

[mystic depot]

yhyh i get it

[near swallow]

Lol nobody cares if u hate defense companies but not trading firms, neither is helping the world, everyone just making $ keep grinding

[still pawn]

I don’t want defense either

I want pure tech something more consumer facing

[mystic depot]

i like this perspective

[near swallow]

Stance is more respectable then. Im not a hater just observant of where people draw their lines lol

Double standards etc

[sinful locust]

trading firms also ruin the world

but at least dont directly kill people or aid in it lmfao

[near swallow]

I tried joining so many biotech and health related f500 or startups and they all resume rejected me or gave uber hard interviews, that was when i lost hope

And decided just make $ and be happy

Most of this was my intern search

Especially in startup world it’s just VC ponzi schemes and such, i have no respect

[sharp yew]

Me too

[steady crow]

is it better to cold email/inmail recruiters or hiring managers

[earnest hatch]

Email is always better than Inmail

[steady crow]

ye but is it better to contact recruiters or engineering managers ?

[devout fractal]

idts?

at least I haven't seen

ig msft has done research interns tho

[lethal swift]

How often do they reply?

Or how soon, if at all

[sinful locust]

I know Microsoft has some 2023 internships open for some european countries

[devout fractal]

could be recruiter reaching out from a prev process

[earnest hatch]

That's all variable. I've never had a hiring manager reply back so I stick to recruiters.

[devout fractal]

like aug ig? I mean apple is open rn

but somebody here said recruiters aren't even gonna look at apps until aug anyway lul

yah...

It's one of the A in MANGA

[sinful locust]

wait the app is up??

damn why is all research stuff opening so early

im still finishing my proj

bruh

[devout fractal]

Nah like these are ms/phd focused i think

lemme check

[sinful locust]

ah ok

damn it i need more time

[devout fractal]

yah all seem to be PhD focused

i wouldn't worry

the seasons' still heck early lol

[quaint bolt]

Y’all need to

[sinful locust]

u

[elfin peak]

I've got that on my desk

[quaint bolt]

I’ve touched too much grass, I need to grind lc now instead of going on dates otherwise mr bog will be

[gentle latch]

1k lc or bust, mr wagon man

[grand bane]

Does Akuna Capital have an automated OA?

[sinful locust]

yakhubi matati?

STOPPP

YAKHUB STOP THIS NOW

[fickle drift]

theres like 5 more automated after 💀

[quaint bolt]

Looks like they let some people skip OA

[near swallow]

Does Akuna Capital have an automated OA?

[karmic sedge]

just got insta rejected by john deere (most likely work auth) 💀

[flint belfry]

akuna OA due tomorrow morning.....damn

[versed spade]

Does anyone know if its common for interns to have to implement a class / its methods for a google interview compared to just doing LC questions?

[near swallow]

That’s basically OOD if im understanding u

Yeah super possible but it’s still pretty LC style

If anything u actually get good OOD practice doing Design tagged on lc

So go for it

👍

[versed spade]

ah ok, just wondering cause I had an interview earlier and got asked to implement classes & related functions and was just wondering if thats a normal thing or not lol

I was expecting more LC style than anything

[proud whale]

what did u think the other A was in FAANG or MANGA

[astral dew]

That’s cuz they take 7 months to respond

[past comet]

Wtf

[astral dew]

Exaggerating but they are notoriously slow

At least from what I hear

[past comet]

Ah okay, even I heard this

When does Google Summer 23 open ? ik some people are getting contacted by recruiters

[astral dew]

Sheshh wtf

[past comet]

Okay, whats the interview process like ? OA + Phone + Host Matching ?

[astral dew]

I wonder what Netflix is gonna do

I want them the most

[past comet]

OA questions are LC- medium ? and 2 ques in 90 min ?

[quaint bolt]

OA is brain dead

Not even med

OA -> 2, possibly 3, phones -> host matching

If you’re lucky you get a guaranteed match

Or you’re in host matching hell

[coarse marten]

Depends on where you apply

G india OA is not ez

[quaint bolt]

Oh tru

[devout jewel]

how do u get guaranteed match?

[past comet]

Yeah I gave it once and I closed the OA within 5 mins

[signal fable]

oa is easy the interviews is where they get ya

specifically with graphs

[shrewd cosmos]

What do i put on akuna capital intern application if i have no gpa yet?

[coarse marten]

4.0

[sinful locust]

lol

no boggy

[shrewd cosmos]

lol

[sinful locust]

4.0

no

Not many companies these days have hard gpa cutoffs, which is great

[quaint bolt]

Akuna’s 3.0 iirc

[opal ocean]

anyone do Akuna’s data eng /Python Dev / Data tool OA

[sinful locust]

datatool was 2 lc med 1 easy lc hard imo

python dev is oop apparently

Whats the format of Data Eng? is that the ML position

[opal ocean]

any idea what the following rounds look like for these positions?

[opal ocean]

It’s the ML position, think it’s 1 hour 8 qs

[opal ocean]

any idea about the difficulty?

[sinful locust]

i didnt take it yet

[sinful locust]

probably hard af interviews

[sinful locust]

Dang its probably not lc then?

[hallow scroll]

Got into future force summit

[sinful locust]

Poggg

congrats

[hallow scroll]

Ty

[sinful locust]

so its just final interview right after OA

[earnest hatch]

Congrats! It was just OA then?

[hallow scroll]

Yeah on-site final during the summit

[sinful locust]

sheesh

[hallow scroll]

Yeah surprisingly

[earnest hatch]

Nice! What details did they give on the summit?

[sinful locust]

anyone recently got an OA? maybe theyre done

[hallow scroll]

The email just says in person at sf and some stuff about what’s gonna be done during the summit

Seems like most summits just company info

[earnest hatch]

Nice, enjoy!

[opal ocean]

ye I’m guessing trivia

[sinful locust]

thats good

If its ML trivia thats great

its 7.5 min per question

[earnest hatch]

@proud whale got OA

[sinful locust]

@opal ocean how long after applying did you get it? i applied today

[opal ocean]

i applied to all roles around the time they came out

just checking the OAs that aren’t expired

[sinful locust]

The email said there could be a delay since theyre finalizing next steps for hte interview process

ah lol you applied a bit ago then haha

hope its not too late

[earnest hatch]

They auto-rejected him because babies aren't legally allowed to work

in the US

[sinful locust]

lol

[opal ocean]

idk if it’s worth doing em because of how unprepared I’d be if I accidentally move to the next round

[sinful locust]

just do it

think after

[opal ocean]

not yo avg baby, “Da”Baby

[sinful locust]

are you comfortable with ML

[opal ocean]

nope

[sinful locust]

rip

[opal ocean]

I’m not comfortable with shit

[sinful locust]

lets trade oas

ill give you 2 shots at python dev for one ml

[opal ocean]

just gimme an internship

idw lc

[sinful locust]

akuna lc is hard

weird questions

[earnest hatch]

You'll get one! Summer 2023 is just getting started

[sinful locust]

its like pre season imo now

season starts aug

quants are exception

and apple

[opal ocean]

think Apple only starts looking at applications in Aug tho

regardless Apple is peak rng

[proud whale]

Ayyyyyy

Hoping I’m next

Yooooo

Just checked my email

I’m in

[sinful locust]

yeah lol

i applied kinda late

[earnest hatch]

Lmao, nice! Congrats!

How was OA?

[proud whale]

Hacker rank was being really weird at one point but generally chill

Not too hard conceptually

But mine was diff than justers

So it’s RNG it seems

It was chill - they also give 4 hrs but only took me like 60-90 min

[earnest hatch]

Thinking of cold emailing a recruiter

All I care about is being flown out to SF, the internship is just a bonus

[astral dew]

https://tenor.com/view/lets-fucking-go-malik-wright-the-game-lets-go-lets-get-started-gif-24227553

Good shit!

[earnest hatch]

Previous Salesforce recruiter I talked to is now working for NFT.com

He's a good recruiter

[past comet]

Akuna Phone!!!

Lets gooooo bois

Anyone have exp with Akuna phone before ?

Any tips on when i should schedule my phone interview ? Should i have 1-2 weeks for preparation ?

[earnest hatch]

Personally if I didn't feel prepared I'd schedule it out later and use the time to prep

[past comet]

Okay, noted. Any idea on what type of questions akuna asks most like google asks graphs and dp

Mr bog ???

Why are using that emoji mr bog ?

Dev C++ internship

[gentle latch]

Bog is weird lol

[past comet]

Wtf 👀 I am so screwed then

I know C++ at LC level thats it

I don't know other stuff

Welp lets hope they ask LC

[gentle latch]

U should apply for general swe intern

[past comet]

There is not general SWE intern

they had Quant and dev internship(C++ and python)

[gentle latch]

That role opened up on september 13th last tear

[past comet]

Wtffff 👀

[gentle latch]

It'll prob open up in september this year
So u got time to grind LC

I will spank google's silly little dp questions

[past comet]

I can see coding questions being asked for Akuna Phone for Quant role in LC discuss

[gentle latch]

For google?

[past comet]

For Akuna

[gentle latch]

Oh idk why I thought we were talking about gooble lol

[past comet]

[past comet]

The dream of many!

from where I come everyones dream company is google lol

[gentle latch]

Interesting

There are better places out there

[lethal swift]

Folks who got into futureforce OA, did you guys get referrals or apply directly?

[hallow scroll]

No

[past comet]

yeah true, I am getting know them now because of this discord server lol

[hallow scroll]

Google 😼

[teal plover]

hi yall which team would be better: slack, tableau, or salesforce core tech?

[gentle latch]

Jane street or bust

[hallow scroll]

Yeah screw aspirations amirite 😠

Yeah that’s valid

[gentle latch]

200k nrw grad

[hallow scroll]

Is this for their tech summit

[teal plover]

yes

[hallow scroll]

I don’t know wtf tableau does and I don’t really know what Salesforce does so I just picked slack 1st choice

[teal plover]

need some opinions real quick

[teal plover]

same ngl

I'm between slack and core

for no1

[hallow scroll]

Yeah in terms of work I see that

[vast atlas]

when did you apply?

[teal plover]

word?

then slack it is say less G

slack, core, and tableau then

[hallow scroll]

Gotta start practicing white boarding interviews sheesh

Arent they all similar in terms of comp and wlb?

[sinful locust]

i agree slack is better

their product is great too

I think tableau pays the most NG as of levels.fyi

[earnest hatch]

Did you get into the SF tech summit?

[teal plover]

I did

[earnest hatch]

Congrats!

[teal plover]

❤️ thanku

[earnest hatch]

that's 3 people from here that got in so far

[lethal swift]

June 13 or 14

[teal plover]

ayy we should meet up

[sinful locust]

so they probs must be done with oas

rip

[hallow scroll]

Say less

[earnest hatch]

Also are they having you choose a team already? I thought you get to explore all at the summit

[hallow scroll]

I don’t think so, it’s probably like rolling basis

[lethal swift]

Does it still say inconsideration?

I should’ve used a referral damn

[earnest hatch]

Yeah, how about you?

What grad date did you use?

[lethal swift]

2023 December

[hallow scroll]

It’s like a top choices list

Since they do an interview ig the org you interview will be your top choice? Idk how that’s gonna work tbh

[sinful locust]

same

[runic tundra]

Tableau is actually rlly cool haha- essentially a rlly powerful data visualizing tool for ppl in business analytics and stuff

[vast atlas]

yea im still under consideration too but this shit looking clipped

[earnest hatch]

In person interviews

[sinful locust]

imo slack has more clout than tableau but they all similar

[runic tundra]

I’ve used it for presentations and the visuals are rlly nice and clean

[sinful locust]

ye

[hallow scroll]

Yeah I heard they’re dope but I’m a clout whore

[sinful locust]

both slack and tableau pay more than salesforce

[hallow scroll]

I’m scared of them 😩

[earnest hatch]

Wtf really? I thought they all would pay the same

how much is Slack/Tableau rate?

[sinful locust]

according to levels i think they diff

slack and tableau entry is above 210 i think

i think tableau is 230? not many data points

salesforce entry is 175

oh bruh they updated it

slack is 173

yeah tableau starts here

[hallow scroll]

I think they’re all around the same yeah, but it looks like that tableau salary is on the higher end

[sinful locust]

lot of stock

[earnest hatch]

Slack seems harder to get into

[sinful locust]

a recruiter told me that its usually one oa then final

so tbh it doesnt rlly seem expedited at the summit

[karmic sedge]

Says in consideration for me

[earnest hatch]

Does seem expedited since you're doing OA and final before apps even open up

[sinful locust]

Ok true in that regard

dont they screen to get into summit anyway?

[earnest hatch]

Just resume screening and then OA, not like a behavioral recruiter screen that is in normal apps

[sinful locust]

Ah ok

[teal plover]

@hallow scroll you got any sort of confirmation after filling up the form?

[hallow scroll]

Nah I didn’t

I was worried about that too lmao but if you try to reopen it says you’ve already submitted so we’re good

[earnest hatch]

They give you in person interview prep too so you'll get some practice before the final too!

[teal plover]

sweet

man seems like salesforce pays more than slack for interns

but fuckit

can always fall back to amz if I don't get anything

[earnest hatch]

I'd be surprised if that's true

[teal plover]

idk that's what levels said

maybe it's not accurate

[hallow scroll]

Ayo maybe i made a mistake Salesforce gives housing stipend slack doesn’t 💀💀

Wait nvm lol they do

[earnest hatch]

And people mis-enter stuff

[teal plover]

they paying 200k+ for ng

this shi crazy

[earnest hatch]

I don't think that's accurate, when I filter by new grad $180K TC us around what I see, and that's old data too

[gleaming path]

Should I trust levels or glassdoor?

[sinful locust]

theres not many data points so yea idk

[teal plover]

makes sense

[sinful locust]

doesnt levels do thorough checking?
