Nah I’m from cali, but visited the past weekend
Cali weather is so much better than Toronto though
Coming from Canada I’m surprised by cali weather
greylock rejection 😠
Do I submit for reconsideration?
Lol
They have a link thats basically like "Two people looked at your app but you can apply here to be reconsidered"
You came in the summer
You wouldn’t like Ontario in the winter
Did you meet any Toronto mans
lol submitted for reconsider
Greylock reject with amazon 
Amazon rejection for summer 2023?
I already got intel rej
No I got rejected from greylock with amazon internship on resume
it's all rng
oh icic
Greylock L
I have no internship exp and got offer
I got in with HubSpot so that's definitely weird
Wait U guys got rejections? I didn’t get accepted but didnt get rejected either
HubSpot > Amazon
jk, it's random
that means you got 👻
jk you should hear back soon
bruh my friend got greylock techfair reject with 2 FAANGs and 2 unicorns
I think they just started coming out
not everyone is receiving the email at the same time
they might be yield protecting or somethn
2x Amazon doesn't count 
jkjk
meta + apple
They're targeting people from WITCH companies, FAANGs and unicorns = overqualified
I got in with apple
as with literally everything else on this server, seems to be rng
ik someone with 2 FAANG past internships who got in
How do interviews work? Do companies choose candidates or the other way around?
Yeah how does greylock even work tbh
ive heard ppl got a bunch of interviews
But yeah my resume has 1 FANG, 2 other terms at big n for a datapoint
Ayo got rentech in the womb wym
May I ask why
You can’t get rejected if you don’t apply 
It’s not for Nuro
wait since i got in last year, i could just put greylock in "how did you hear about us"
But that was for this summer internship, not sure how it will be for next year
Man this season tho is actually MonkaS
Hope greylock actually does something this time
guys I'm so depressed
can someone make me feel better
I'm not seeing success in anything in my life
Play league
get off this server if you're miserable
Yes maybe u should start league 🙄
I can’t rly say anything that ppl won’t scoff at and say thanksimcured but you just gotta keep trucking through
And then you’ll be stronger once you hit something
yeah I guess this is the move
yeah but comparison is the thief of joy
yeah ig
I just hate how my life is going
I could be doing so much better
I'm just straight up depressed
damn depression really sucks
ya no i get ya
it doesnt really matter most of the time
this is basically a chat where people ask questions about summer 2023 and talk about it but talk about random stuff
does anyone know bloomberg application open?
meta bar is low and recruiter was prolly allergic to apples
summer 2023
never work for a company named after a food
huge risk

does affirm take hsers?
no big tech company takes high schoolers 😭😭
i got a response from a recruiter and she said to email her late aug early sept

naw if ur cracked some might let u in
but theres no set program
so i am assuming they do because she told me to contact her then
yes
i stated clearly in email i am in hs
My name is HEHEHEHAW and I'm expected to graduate high school in 2023. I am looking for Software Engineering internship positions for Summer 2023. I am really interested in working for Affirm and was wondering if you have any openings available? I am willing to relocate.
Thank you for your time and consideration, I look forward to hearing from you! I've attached my resume to this email, in case you would like to see it.
i sent this to her and got a response
Thanks for reaching out! I really appreciate your interest in Affirm. Unfortunately, we are not looking for interns at this time. Our hiring season starts around late August/early September. :) We can definitely keep in touch until then!
Good luck HEHEHEHAW 
thank you 🙏
Any HS emailing recruiters is prolly so sweaty they're cracked
sounds like she barely even looked at ur resume/email
i mean i clearly stated i am in hs and i asked her for feedback on my resume afterwards
Yeah recruiters can easily miss that part, I would confirm when you reach out
this is like standard recruiter response
what are y’all’s opinions on ipocorns

to which she said it was good and clear to read but if comfortable put last name on top
ipocorns are dope
what is an ipocorn
unicorns with less stress
eh doesnt hurt to try
recent ipo
unicorn that just IPOd
wow

What is greylock techfair?
that's definitely a new one for me
what company
intel
datadog, robinhood, airbnb
ohhh i see, i missed this part
intL
what do u think?
ipocorn a good name i think
I’m so out of the loop
definitely good
Is affirm a top company now
seems like she read resume and i stated in email as well
werent they always good
alr

no i am just hs
I mean they were prob always good
tryna apply
But I see them on blind more often than usual now?
Affirm I heard is really good new grad TC

best thing to grind CS related in high school is USACO
In the end I don’t remember a single fkn thing from hs
lee cap
i got a response from bloomberg recruiter
But I didn’t do that much

i got excited but they probs wont take me
But I also don’t really regret it

for apple u need ios projects
i alr have apple
singapore
lmfao how does that work
i also cold emailed bb recruiter and they referred me to a diff recruiter for hsers
so i think i have solid chance cuz i started emailing early
wait does apple actually sponsor the program
o ye my friend interned at bloomberg in hs
yea
icic
plz can i connect with him
bloomberg
is there link or smth
LOL 🚿 🚿
i will send when am home
ask him what
i connected with many ppl here i havent doxxed em
if they would lke to connect with no life bitchless hser
he got referred by his manager for a non profit thing
there was a local hs that feeds into bloomberg hs internships
go grind meta to not be pipped mr kirb
thats how he got the interview
instead of shitposting here
so he didnt directly work under bb?
worked on angular internal tooling at bloomberg
ur actually right goodbye
he did
i think i can get the interview but idk how to pass it
thats why i wanna ask him what it was like
why'd u move from cali to canada
dad job transfer
they needed someone in higher position in canada and yeah

can you still apply as instate to cali unis
canada lame af
berk my dream school
😭 and as far as i can see its gonna stay that way
gl that shits hard

ask her to schedule with me as well once I get accepted
davis also wants good people

davis still wants good people 😭
make that 20% for cs
Ash and Krishna are our protégés for this server
i was in the 30% LOL
man if i get high gpa i will basically get any school
imo once u T20 doesn't even matter
i got ec’s
ig maybe it makes it even easier but meh
sports non profit etc
lol i think you are overly optimistic
school I go to isn't a top target CS school that people talk ab but it's still T20 and more than enough to hear back from places
u don't hear it treated that way within CS
any school i mean uc
bet homie goes to duke or sth
it's def berk+ as the "top CS"
for me i just want uc
my friend chose ox over cal 🥲
lmao my friend chose uchicago over ox lol
but yeah
us better lol
actually most schools dont care abt gpa, more of extracurriars and essays i think
it's cuz everyone applying has 3.85+ gpa
at least the top ones
^
need sth else to differentiate
depends on the school: publics/waterloo etc care a lot abt gpa
privates not as much
canadian unis just care abt gpa
imo uni acceptance @ uc level def takes GPA into account
GPA is a huge factor for UCs
UCLA middle 50% of freshman admits GPA range 4.18-4.32
UC Berkeley middle 50% 4.15-4.30
yeah gpa feels especially important for ucs
i think i had a 4.3X
i feel like gpa from US doesnt really matter cuz HS had inflated as hell gpas lmfao
i have exs
exs
ecs
yeah but this doesn't tell me shit bc 4.9 was impossible from my school
even if i took every AP and got an A in every single class
some schools just inflate hella
why did i have to go to a school with all the overachievers
dont unis pick certain number of students from hs only
like they have a limit
this isnt the 1990s
when did u apply for uni
just curious
naw she's a US citizen, got that fat fin aid
oof
T10 overall not CS
Granted my test scores were not bad
Yeah but what I’m saying is that grades already the end all be all. 3.85 seems high considering I know people with 3.7s getting into pretty good schools
i was public
from NJ
And I’m Asian
UCLA UC🅱️ 3.8, 3.9 GPA is like the minimum bar, or at least it's not gonna make you stand out or anything
it's extracurriculars, awards, and application essays by then
source: 4.0GPA, not a lot of extracurriculars or competitions, got into 3 out of 18 colleges I applied to

do you really want to go to Caltech for CS though
Oh god Fyreblaze

why hello there 
LMAO
by good gpa I mean like 4.3
That’s cap lol
i have ecs to back my case not including internships
colleges are only getting harder to get into
I think Berkeley or UCLA if you’re not from Cali is really hard to get into
i am a rising junior
lowkey CS is mostly basically the same curriculum and level at always every college with CS anyways
Depends where you go to high school lol if you go to a competitive high school where everyone wants Berkeley or LA it is a lot harder
Either that or I’m just very stupid

ah yes
the duality of man
Some of us went thru curriculums without classes like os/arch/compilers/systems. Trust me. Or how about this: no algorithms class till semester 5
nah tbh mit/cmu seem much more rigorous
Believe me. If u have a good curriculum. Appreciate it.

Honestly I don’t get the pressure about which college you go to after you get 1 internship at a nice place its a leveled playing field
this is my school
no dsa till semester 5
I had a lot of connections with faculty and engineering staff at my dept + tech club pres for example and pushed actively to fix some of these things to NO avail
that 1st internship at a nice place is probably easier to get at a higher ranked college
isn't CMU CS like
the OG
cmu people are in absolute shambles rn lol
so many of em in meta intern
and now no RO
I’ve seen some your T20 class projects and u guys have it made. U can literally put those on resume maybe tweak it and you’re fuckin set
Tbh anyone who grinds leetcode can get into good internships lol
i'll get back to you on that in around 3 months
hoping you're right
wait are u in meta also?
Honestly you would be surprised how little companies expect out of interns
Just talk to people lol
ah gtochu
Top 20 school
The amount of copium t20 kids here have about job struggles is laughable. In all honesty
Im not saying ur life is easy. But you have the tools to succeed
if only madison prepped ppl for faang 
Who here goes to uw
This but like also the high schoolers here
berkeley 
me and @sinful locust
You know the restaurant tavanakya or whatever
There are university stats?
wtf is tabankya
those stats dont matter
Oh yeah look up code signal university LOL
with how rng codesignal is
literally ive gfotten 700's on some attempts and 820's on others
And I stg the chicken gave me stomach cramps lol
how low is lower tier UC
general consensus is low is merced riverside maybeee sc and top is berk la maybee sd and mid is eveyuthing else is mid for cs
It sucks
yeah it’s good CS program
ive heard UIUC cs is really good
how much of that coding performance thing is actually because great CS programs or just because the schools are selective af in the first place so will probably have better programmers
I mean at a certain point there’s this margin for error
like how many people are actually taking code signals individually from each school
MIT probably has way more people taking code signals than Yale
I didnt know that
Yeah also the article says that they aren’t in the top 30 but I’m pretty sure they are
what is greylock techfair so many offers lol
career fair
capital one is the only reason UVA has high codesignal
i'm working on a resume and need help
"Developed a full-stack(MERN) web app that allows users to collaborate on a singular document and make modifications simultaneously."
Should i remove or keep the word "singular" here?
thats my goal actually
like google docs
Capital ones hq is in close proximity to UVA which means naturally capital one recruits from UVA meaning they tend to do more code signals
nah
Oh it seems I got accepted to that Greylock techfair thingy, does anybody know what even happens at career fairs? Like would I just tell a recruiter I’m interested, dm resume and get their email? Are these even useful?
Just to add on to that (primarily asking cuz I’m a noob) but broadly speaking what’s the main purpose of such events is it to get a recruiters email/direct contact or do they fast track u into interviews if u ask them in such “tech fairs”?

Which school?
Ohh
Never been to a career fair before only a garmin hiring event 😂
#conference be making it sound useless lol
hopefully they have some internal fast-track app links in the rooms
Ur EC’s mean nothing without grades I keep telling u this
ur 50
.
agreed 
lmao again further proving ur 50 most unis are test blind ngl like there are bare ppl that got ucb with <1500 sat
taught me how to finesse stupid useless tests
yeah ik
wait you arent getting fucked by rogers?
oh nvm i forgot you arent in canada rn
lmaoo good day to not be in Canada they said their gonna take weeks to fix it 😂
they said by monday

the only reason i am on discord is because i still got my US sim
connected to telus rn

gonna go to NY cuz this shit is bs
ong
whats floodfill? 👀
UT Austin?
go to a small hs
and then grad from there
lmao
fr it is broken
go to a small public school
in a burb
can my tax money in canada go to better infrastructure 🙏
mobile services i heard are up
but router afaik no
ic nice
they said monday i heard but i think now they are saying they have no idea
rogers had a monopoly 🤷♂️
yikes
and yea
i hear ddos attack
Still?
i was gonna watch a movie
telus data is slow af
so i cant do that
most i can do is discord LMAO
@restive fox yo mind mailing me some wifi
since email dont work

no
idts
acc idk
it might
i am from cali just moved LMAO
i got tmobile xfinity at&t and some verizon sim cards i think
people here are acc racist bruv
never been discriminated this much in cali as i did in sauga and i been living here for like 6 months 💀
someone at school acc told me to act like a slave because it was in my blood or smth 💀💀💀💀💀💀
bruh i dont want suspension
I can't stand guys who do that
i could take em down LMAO
lmao
crazy
fr
all of south asia is racist
thats acc wild
Bro, it's not even that. I hate how certain brown guys (I'm brown btw) promote absolute disgusting behaviour
Trying to act like thugs when their parents live in million dollar houses
It's honestly dumb
and why is it that anyone whos not brown gives you attitude in sauga
"Yo fam manz made it outta the trenches in Brampton."
first time i came i was getting legal work done like standing outside of service ontario
i went into a store and asked if i could use the bathroom they said no and i asked i will buy smth cuz yk some places dont give their br out to public
lady got pissed at me
was just one scenario could be she was having a bad day or whatever but yea
Damn
idc who i hangout with i hangout with whoever
i came from a very diverse location in cali so i dont even care
Its my personal belief that the average person in Canada is more racist than the average American (based on personal experience)
i think its just GTA
Which is stupid lol
but i am not sure since i havent been out of GTA in Canada
i would 2nd this opinion (from personal exp too)
but not tryna throw any shade at anyone or group of people or anything
might be i just got unlucky
ic
Maybe
I remember I once went all the way down to rural Arkansas
I thought it would be racist AF, and I'd definitely be called a terrorist or some shit lmao
But no... the people were actually insanely nice
Much nicer than where I'm from (a rural area in ontario)
I think most people aren't racist
density might be higher, but still the big majority aren't outwardly racist
I agree
Well... it depends on the area tbh
I was in rural Kentucky for a year of high school as an asian transfer student
some of the nicest people I know
though one reason might be because I usually interacted with younger people
Yeah, I feel like there's a very vocal minority in rural America that gives the area a bad rep
Because literally all my experience there was positive
Me neither
Canadian racism is more subtle
But American racism is very to your face
I'm in rural ass indiana rn and I was volunteering with a local church group, and like everybody was so nice
still had to leave after like a year though cause people brought guns to school like 3 times

I am
so I've learned
I'm gonna make a wild claim that the people of America might just be the least racist people on the planet (the average person)
bro what
if you come in canada
and arrivecan is down
you are forced to take a dose of covid vaccine
or you may face imprisonment
no clue
considering we're surrounded by basically all races of people at all times in the US
that's probably right
i just saw an article
wtf
what kind of bs law is that
face imprisonment even if u are boosted
it said it like that on article
i havent read it cuz internet so fast
and speedy
but yeah
Arrive can is annoying
anyone know if there will be a technical interview the last day of salesforce tech summit??
I only see a behavioral 30 mins one
please someone confirm
Anyone received an OA from Amazon? Any idea what could be time line
Goldman sent me an oa. I applied to three locations, but on my Goldman applicant page, it only shows one of the locations as “hackerrank interview stage completed”. Does this one hackerrank consider me for all three locations, or will I receive individual hackerrank for each location?
i completed their oa but dont see anything similar on my applicant page
just shows thank you for considering ...
This page?
I did mention multiple locations but it ended up in one lmao
Shows something like this
Very easy
They mentioned 3Q in 60 mins so I was kinda tensed but one was them was an acknowledgment saying you won’t cheat
lol 😆
And the other two were based on list if I remember properly.
LinkedIn being cringe again
yup, i had same page but for dallas
v easy, i looked up the qs afterwards and seems like theyre based on bc easies
lc*
honestly probably would've picked de shaw
you can always request for location change when you get the return offer
LOL im not even at that stage bruh just barely did the oa
I was just wondering if we receive oas for each location we selected, or one oa applies to all of the locations
can you paste me the link maybe it'll refresh for me to log in and i see the right page
ohk nvm
how was y'all's math oa with GS
Wait, I know this post, 22 grad from India
pays less in india
YOOOO i saw this too lmao
one OA is applies for all the locations
@still peak how is GS?
GS is awesome and it is chill as fuck

You get to work from home Monday and Friday
yes
woah i would have thought gs would be the opposite of chill
I told you not to flip the coin
Tools are from prehistoric world
You mean flip it
Swe at banks should be generally chill
Jpmc is also chill
Our codebase is big too and no documentation or comments lol
I prefer to not have any comment than some random part of the code commented
Skype btw
I got lucky we are building new products with modern tech stack
How many monitors do you have
?
One Ultra wide monitor
I started last Monday
Ohh
I don't plan to accept the return if I get one tho
Makes sense if you are doing a fall internships
I would sell my soul to amz instead of working in such an ugly codebase
Do you guys have internal mobility
It takes so long to get access to a resource
What is that?
Working across different offices?
Like switching teams within the firm
It is a huge thing in GS. We have an event on monday to explore other teams and divisions
G

Nice
I hope to bag a ng offer after g to be safe
G in europe or NA ?
Yeah JP is nothing at this point lol
If the gods are on my side I would loveto get G New Grad
Hope to hear from amz 
I am waiting too
I would have never thought that
Mr Bog, as a incoming G intern any tips to crack G interview ?
like focus on any special areas ?
binarysearch every day
I used to do it and now i get depressed af after seeing the questions
Be comfortable with every common pattern
And 
Yes, sir
G is overrated tho
Since I have never taken DSA before focusing on patterns help a lot
This is the dream
ye but I do have only internship chance ( Summer 23) so I would like to get into G just to get that name on my resume
@still peak bs in 1h?
Can i also join ?
With @sinful locust @lethal badger @solemn atlas
ok I am down
Sure
thnx
@uneven sand
@coarse marten u meta right?
@coarse marten you almost got stack in G team match. I heard a lot of people end up being rejected
Really 
Not consistently tho like 4 days a week
specifically someone who did hs intern program
but anyone works
i wanna ask a few questions
I used to keep a list of early career opportunities
@uneven sand can i dm you 
damn
i got a response from recruiter from affirm
Just DM you don't have to ask permissions
they told me to contact em in late august early sept
The list 
Yo yahkub
Bs in 50min?
adults
adults
ikr
i'm on my way to the library 😤
gotta grind now
Library?
im not in canada 
canadas back to the stoneage
then why tf u going to the library
nerd lmfao
yes sir, i only read leetcode discuss sections
it motivates me when i look at nerds studying hard in the library
@coarse marten are you applying for 2023 summer internships?
i thought you're graduating
No
bog graduate 
Winter positions maybe
Anybody else got an invite to recruiting event for squarespace?
Try to bag G ng instead
G 2 yoe > masters
g will get back to me next week 
Are google and Apple the only faangs that will hire for next year?
amazon?
Amz 
slipped my mind
unless you don't consider amazon a faang 
lets fuckign go

microsoft should takes it place
So that means I finally have a shot
ffs
youre gonna have uber on your resume go for not amazon 
and i bet most of them will post "im excited to announce i now work at FAANG"
lmaooo
@crisp thicket apply to amz sde 1 positions
Nobody does that tho
nah ive seen a couple posts like that
i'd only go to amazon if they give me CTO of AWS
nothing less
If you haven't applied to Amazon I don't know what you are waiting for
Amz sde 2 pays better than G 
Yea but bananas
What list should I use ? I have already done blind 75
based makoto fan
you don't wait just apply then get motivation to grind

use one of the new lists like neetcode 150 or grind 75
cant blow it mate 😓
more problems to do
You could study for like 3 months haha. Amazon goes on so late
But I’d rather get it done wit
Maybe next month
I am thinking of applying to the winter one too. Any thoughts?
Apply to every interesting positions
the application has a choice for which one you want the most, you're considered for all seasons of 2023 winter, summer, fall
I just need amazon to renegotiate my return offer
Tell them 300k or kiss ur as
where is my 200k jane street offer?
Jane Street is across the street from me lol
let me ask them
thanks bro
Yoo
Two Sigma or bust
Nice building?
my current manager actually worked in two sigma in 00s
wallstreet 
not really
I would prefer to work in google over any of the HFTs
this is a no brainer
What was his experience like
yeah you gotta be built diff to work at hft, I think its too stressful and the money isn't worth it but I get why people want to work at them so bad
id rather just chill at a big company
she works at Wayfair now. I think she probably hated it
Let me ask her once
🧢
incoming bog team dependent moment
Grind but you will never be ready for G
yahoo 
But how to get my resume picked
Nah, just that no one would refuse a 7 figures tc
@verbal iris

🎲
yeah that is true lol
Get good
i am trying
This time around I am going to get my resume proofread by at least 10 people
ALL people with good resumes once had bad resumes
