[hallow scroll]

Anyone know how Amazon 2023 works? Do they let you pick the season after the offer? The email I got doesn’t say

[sinful locust]

there was an option where u could chose when I applied

[past comet]

I think when filling application there were options asking for your availability

[south aspen]

Ye

[ivory ocean]

Okay

[hallow scroll]

Damn I forgot what I said lol

[hoary badge]

Did anyone get receive there hopin link for greylock? They said they would send it out by Monday 5pm but I still have not received it

[hallow scroll]

I think I said winter but I don’t wanna do winter anymore rip

[sinful locust]

jack harlow and his billion offers

[hoary badge]

Ok thanks me too

[hallow scroll]

Yes

[hallow scroll]

Going for offers this season

[fickle ivy]

[ivory ocean]

Wait it is?

Like AI proctor?

[fickle ivy]

real fbi agent proctoring

[south aspen]

Can confirm

Working at Amazon rn

Oh so you must be the client

I’m working with

[ivory ocean]

It isn’t proctored, I know numberlogic round is game theory, 80 in 8 is arithmetic, beat the odds is probability theory and ZapQ is a survey for personality assessment

I can’t find anyone who knows what ZapN is

I know NSA is a customer of AWS

[native scaffold]

Did amazon change the OA format this time?

Seems to be no debugging

[trim vigil]

i didnt receive it either yet

did u get off waitlist?

[native scaffold]

and workplace simulation is also a part of the OA

[sinful locust]

I got the link

[past comet]

Les gooo!!!!!

[sinful locust]

Haha yea, i got scared when they said they would send hopin link by Monday

[sinful locust]

amz?

Nah greylock

Hopin

oh shit

[simple garden]

no hopin link

[sinful locust]

Probably comes out in batches

[quaint bolt]

I wonder if I can look y’all up internally

[sinful locust]

Don’t

[simple garden]

Pls

[ivory ocean]

Good shit baller!

[quaint bolt]

Also if any of you get rejected my friend’s project did that

[ivory ocean]

If you can tell me if I’m winning

[sinful locust]

Yep

[trim vigil]

damn

o nvm i got it too

[sinful locust]

nice nice

[past comet]

Can you check mine if you can

[quaint bolt]

Pretty sure that’s a breach of privacy or summin

[past comet]

Ye ye jk lol

i think the whole process is automated, like they have pipelines and stuff iirc

[stark basin]

Into Akuna final round

what's it gonna be about

I didn't expect to get this far

it was a joke, the coding part at least

[quaint bolt]

And my friend’s project from last summer does the rejecting part

[stark basin]

behavioral part is iffy

[past comet]

rol ?

[stark basin]

python SWE

[plush flume]

Now this could mean alot of things

[stark basin]

apparently it's rng

[quaint bolt]

Yeah some unlucky folks got MST last year

For Amazon

[stark basin]

i got two leetcode easy, one maybe less than easys

[quaint bolt]

That was the time limit but everyone finished much sooner

[plush flume]

lucky now imagine ur interview is reviewing oa

[stark basin]

[sinful locust]

Which role

[plush flume]

that might be workstyle not coding

[sinful locust]

Congrats

[stark basin]

python swe

[sinful locust]

Oh same

I heard its 1 LC 1 OOP

That’s it

[stark basin]

congratulate me once I actually get a job

but thanks

[sinful locust]

Sure

[stark basin]

[sinful locust]

But you got to final, which is nice

[stark basin]

gotta review OOP

[sinful locust]

Grokking OOD time

[cyan garnet]

isnt oop object oriented programming

how are they supposed to quiz u on that lmao

like if yk how a method works or how to make a class or smth?

[stark basin]

"what is encapsulation compared to abstraction"

[cyan garnet]

wtf is encapsulation I have worked with abstraction before tho

[stark basin]

got asked that during my phone and had to pull encapsulation out of the deepest part of my mind to answer"

[past comet]

Methods on a class

[cyan garnet]

ik but what does encapsulation do

to the method

whats it purpose

[stark basin]

like
private variables

[cyan garnet]

then why cant they just ask that

[stark basin]

cause encapsulation sounds cool

[candid shale]

bumping this for anyone that missed it ☝️

[stark basin]

[cyan garnet]

can hsers apply

[cyan garnet]

cringe

I am a master of oop (simple terms) if I say so myself

[past comet]

I suck at writing so I will use gpt-3 to get the answers for the questions

[stark basin]

[cyan garnet]

I screwed around with oop a lot

[candid shale]

hsers?

[cyan garnet]

while coding discord bot

[stark basin]

high schooler

[cyan garnet]

high schoolers

lmaoo

I am just messin with you ik they cant

[candid shale]

o

[cyan garnet]

I didnt really use abstract

and idk I didnt find purpose of private vs public I only see the benefit if u are making an api

api wrapper

[stark basin]

abstraction isn't really something you use
it's more of a concept

[cyan garnet]

yeah

I understand inheritance private public methods etc

I need to look more into abstraction tho

[white rampart]

[sinful locust]

abstraction is the bread and butter of being a swe

:shypepe:

[white rampart]

L

[stark basin]

L

[sinful locust]

L

[white rampart]

yeah abstraction is nice but too much is also not nice

[plush flume]

L

[cyan garnet]

guess I gotta look more into it then

[white rampart]

[sinful locust]

thats why all of our tools are broken

[white rampart]

ive abstracted too much for one my projects and im too lazy to go fix

[sinful locust]

uk whats worse

when u have a multi level inheritance structure

[simple salmon]

Not getting the Amazon OA got me on edge rn

[cyan garnet]

💀

[sinful locust]

SAME

Somehow i passed

[stark basin]

[sinful locust]

Other than that it was ez

[sinful locust]

how the fuck are u grading the same year as me

ur not even in uni

[cyan garnet]

they asked the program I am currently in

and which is hs

[stark basin]

imma
imma look up a OOP review video on YouTube
preferably narrated by a guy with an Indian accent

[silk juniper]

lmao

[sinful locust]

Do some OOP design questions

Like design xxxx or smth

design a ATM machine

Yeah

Imma do grokking

grokking's ood course is op

it uses a similar structure for almost all of the questions

[stark basin]

I still don't know wtf grokking is
sounds like a fking WoW term

[cyan garnet]

should I just simp for palantir in the behavioral questions

is that the key

[sinful locust]

bro

they dont hire high schoolers

[cyan garnet]

ik LOL

I am applying for memes

idrc

[sinful locust]

do u not have high school friends?

[cyan garnet]

I am going out to lunch with a few

ssoon

its like 1

[sinful locust]

why are u like this then

[cyan garnet]

who eats lunch at 1

[cyan garnet]

idk

[stark basin]

back in high school at that time I was working at a japanese bar

[cyan garnet]

that sounds cool I dont have work auth tho lmao

[sinful locust]

back in high school I was getting high with my friends everyday

[cyan garnet]

I cant even work at mcdonalds even if I wanted to

[sinful locust]

we*d used to be cheap back in 2018-2019 days

[stark basin]

[cyan garnet]

I got rejected from internship at a company I wont mention cuz no work auth

[sinful locust]

no u got rejected cuz ur in HS

people barely wanna work with college students

[stark basin]

[sinful locust]

what makes u think, they would wanna look at high schoolers walking around the office

[cyan garnet]

actually maybe LOL they saw part of my resume and wanted to interview me and requested full resume and then said they changed their mind

I thought it was cuz they reviewed my application again and saw work auth

[sinful locust]

[quaint bolt]

Toronto?

[cyan garnet]

sauga

[quaint bolt]

Did you start hs here yet?

[stark basin]

if you're done applying for colleges this is literally the last time in your life you'll have free time to chill with friends for months

[cyan garnet]

yea

I did 1 sem

[sinful locust]

^

[quaint bolt]

Have you made friends?

[cyan garnet]

bitch I dare u to go to a random hs which is really bad and make friends

[cyan garnet]

ofc

[sinful locust]

u can legit party everyday and there will be no consequences

[cyan garnet]

they arent as close as my californian friends and we hang out occassionally

[sinful locust]

i legit did that

[quaint bolt]

It can be rough in the beginning just put yourself out there and you’ll find friends

[prime lily]

Everyone is all over the place and it sucks

After hs

[cyan garnet]

I did thats not an issue

[prime lily]

Hard to see even my next door neighbor lol

[sinful locust]

and to this day those days are the best years of my life

[stark basin]

all of my friends went to UCSD or UCD

i'm the only one where I am

[cyan garnet]

I am just not that close to them so we dont hangout that often

like once or twice a week

[sinful locust]

thats how u become close

[cyan garnet]

and the rest of the time I am focusing on internship work or learning smth new

[sinful locust]

by hanging out w them everyday

[stark basin]

kind of true
i'm been chilling in college

courses are ezclap

[cyan garnet]

except u pay ur life savings

[quaint bolt]

Not if you make bank like me

[stark basin]

except I'm gonna have to find a good job right quick to pay off my parents and grandparents for my tuition

[cyan garnet]

where are u interning this summer

G right?

[prime lily]

Don’t have classes?

[stark basin]

out-of-state tuition goes crazy

[quaint bolt]

Goog winter

Amazon this summer

[stark basin]

damn

FAANG hopping

[cyan garnet]

wagons my inspiration

I wanna collect FAANG like infinity stones

I got apple on my gauntlet (kind of not really)

[quaint bolt]

Collect grass.

[crisp berry]

how to get faang oa

[quaint bolt]

[cyan garnet]

I alr did

[stark basin]

apply

[cyan garnet]

I am eating it

I am vegan

I eat grass

[sinful locust]

bro im so glad i enjoyed my hs days

[stark basin]

[quaint bolt]

[cyan garnet]

(I am kidding)

[cyan garnet]

I eat grass thats how serious I am

[quaint bolt]

Ash you can not be on discord all the time and still get FAANG

[sinful locust]

ash ur gonna regret doing this, u have ur entire life ahead of u to work

[stark basin]

enjoyed high school much more than middle school thats for damn sure

[cyan garnet]

middle school was so much better tf

[sinful locust]

wtf

[stark basin]

you don't know my middle school life

[ember bison]

LMFAO

[stark basin]

[cyan garnet]

literally not a care in the world

[sinful locust]

same w hs

[cyan garnet]

ur grades didnt matter and shit

in hs u gotta try for university

[sinful locust]

but hs is so ez

[earnest hatch]

FAANG sends OA in batches, a bunch of people got FAANG OA yesterday and today

[sinful locust]

u dont need to try for shit

[cyan garnet]

I could get D in all my classes and get into the same hs as my friends

no competition

[stark basin]

the differences is I actually tried in HS and shit became so much easier

[cyan garnet]

W middleschool

[cyan garnet]

u graduated 2 years ago

a lot has changed

[sinful locust]

i doubt it

[cyan garnet]

waterloo admissions average have gone from mid 90s to high 90s

I know people with 98s that have gotten rejected

[sinful locust]

ya but grade inflation

[cyan garnet]

gpa expectation from 3.8 to 4.0

[sinful locust]

ya BUT THE GRADES ARE ALSO ALL INFLATED

[cyan garnet]

depends on teacher

[sinful locust]

no

[cyan garnet]

if u have tough teacher u are fucked

[cyan garnet]

yes

[sinful locust]

[cyan garnet]

my french teacher was a cunt

she literally

[stark basin]

[cyan garnet]

screwed us over so bad

68 in french

the class median was 72

[prime lily]

God I don’t miss college admissions process lmao

[cyan garnet]

its literal cut throat competition

everything has gotten more competitive

no they do

[stark basin]

I don't either

[cyan garnet]

they just persevere

[prime lily]

I went to a public hs where 90% didn’t care haha

so it was chill for me

[stark basin]

but then I remember grad school admission/job interviews are basically the same thing

when does it end

[rapid swan]

same

[cyan garnet]

it also doesnt help when u go to a school in a suburb where everyone is considered an "overachiever"

[rapid swan]

best vibes

[cyan garnet]

its not even private

[prime lily]

Don’t have to pay to apply to a job

[stark basin]

TRUE

[cyan garnet]

I mean the piece of paper u need u pay for

so technically yea?

[prime lily]

Yeah but I consider those super competitive public hs and private hs almost the same

[stark basin]

don't have to write like 5 essays to apply for most jobs either

[prime lily]

I guess so

[cyan garnet]

ontario hs suck man

wtf

[sinful locust]

^

[cyan garnet]

teach me ur ways

[sinful locust]

ya thats the case for 90% of hs's in canada

in in BC and its the same story

[cyan garnet]

I paid attention in class and did everything my teachers told me

hell I studied for my tests

I thought I should have gotten a 98 in functions I ended with a 95

and the whole "teacher can change ur grade based on their judgement" thing is bs

[prime lily]

Are those both A’s or is Canada different

[cyan garnet]

87 in science even tho I studied for that like crazy

[cyan garnet]

they dont show up as an A

it shows actual percentage

[prime lily]

Pain

[cyan garnet]

so everyone is here fighting for the last percent

[prime lily]

That’s stressful asf

[cyan garnet]

and this is a grade 11 course which uw actually considers

[cyan garnet]

yeah ik

yeah it is

I fucking hate hs for that reason

so competitive

I am glad I didnt go to woodlands

its more competitive there

I doubt grade inflation is gonna be fixed anytime soon

and I heavy doubt colleges expectations are gonna come down anytime soon

yea but those high grades dont matter as much

most jobs in cs at least

dont ask for grades

they care about ur exp

and ur dsa skils

[sinful locust]

wrong

[cyan garnet]

I said most

[sinful locust]

like K said

[cyan garnet]

and the ones that do are some hedgefunds or some startup

[sinful locust]

ur paying to learn

u cant afford to fuck up

[stark basin]

they look at grades and university for your first job

[sinful locust]

^

[stark basin]

after that it's all past jobs

[sinful locust]

at sap they asked for my trasncript twice

and sap is not even that hot shit of a company

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

i cant stress this one enuf

[atomic fox]

For OA's do they give you a whiteboard to like draw stuff down?

[sinful locust]

probs not

[stark basin]

if by OA you mean "Online Assessment"

then no

usually not

[sinful locust]

no i think he's talking about hackerrank's drawing tool

[stark basin]

theres a drawing tool?

[sinful locust]

ya they have a drawing tool for interviews

[atomic fox]

Wait so for like graph questions how would you think it through are you allowed like scratch paper

[stark basin]

of course yeah

[sinful locust]

ya obv

[stark basin]

scratch paper is fine

[sinful locust]

they're not gonna monitor ur movement lol

[atomic fox]

Ah ok thanks lmao

[ember bison]

i think codesignal does lol

[sinful locust]

i hate codesignal

[stark basin]

imagine Respondus Lockdown Browser for coding OA

[placid crown]

[sand pendant]

is this for swe intern?

[stark basin]

got that too

qualitative researcher

[sinful locust]

Anyone know how tower research capital pays’

[stark basin]

[south aspen]

[quaint bolt]

you’re not my boy

I disown you.

[south aspen]

:((( SAD

DAD WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO

[quaint bolt]

jk

[sand pendant]

oh okay I got rejected in like a week for that position

[quaint bolt]

Come back when you have palantir offer

[sand pendant]

what sort of exp do you have that may have been seen as a good fit for that role?

[placid crown]

I don’t even know

[ivory ocean]

Anyone able to expand on wtf multifamily swe means in freddie mac's listing

they want polygamous swes?

[placid crown]

None of my past school jobs or internships give the impression that I’ll be a good fit for that role lmao

[quaint bolt]

yes

[placid crown]

Yes

[ivory ocean]

couldnt be me

is quant research even open to undergrad

[placid crown]

Same

[quaint bolt]

yes

[placid crown]

Yes

[sand pendant]

yes

[quaint bolt]

yes

no

I’m big dumb

[placid crown]

Big if true

[trim vigil]

what qs

[ivory ocean]

HPE SWE or SW Developer?

The descriptions sound the exact same

[teal light]

How bad were the questions?

[south aspen]

SOON

next week

[south aspen]

ngl when i first saw the questions i shit myself

but theyre not bad once u acc read it properly

they're intimidating tho LOL

[south aspen]

i think its diff for every1

[trim vigil]

wait u didnt get graph qs?

[south aspen]

nope

[trim vigil]

i thought palantir karat was graph..

[south aspen]

my oa was graph

[trim vigil]

can u tell me which topic u got then

no dp right

[south aspen]

nah

trie?

strings

yuh

[trim vigil]

oh fuck ok

[hallow scroll]

Karats are like rng

I think in genera karat interviewers pick the questions and they just like graphs

[south aspen]

my interviewer worked at amazon and on similar teams

so we were vibinggg

[sinful locust]

sheeesh

u have it in the bag then

[south aspen]

no idea LMFAO

i could still get rejected who knows

[zenith vortex]

you have oa before karat?

[south aspen]

Yuh

[sand pendant]

what is the karat structure like? how many question needs to be solved in how many minutes?

[floral mantle]

Anyone redoing karat?

I messed up question 2 of my karat

[south aspen]

3 lc in 45 minutes

[south aspen]

when i did it i had lru cache 💩

[earnest hatch]

It's RNG

[south aspen]

last season haha

[simple garden]

Did u get in last year too

damn sadge

this year tho

[native scaffold]

Just finished oa 1 for amazon

[sinful locust]

Ez af

[native scaffold]

Anyone received OA2?

[soft basin]

sig oa is so cake

amazon oa is both parts

[sinful locust]

For amazon?

Wtf

Kruskals isn’t bad but like

[soft basin]

the 15 min section is the other part

[sinful locust]

Yea

If you know dijkstra then its not bad

It’s like similar

Yeah

You don’t need perfect

That’s the good thing

I’ve heard

Sad

Hope yo had better exp elsewhere

[vapid yarrow]

@native scaffold Can you share what questions were asked?

[sinful locust]

SIG oa is easy. If you're a leetcode monkey. @coarse marten

[fickle ivy]

whats the deadline for sig OA

i got it like 4 days gao

[willow canopy]

For leetcode tagged does that include OA or is it just the technical interview

[ivory ocean]

Kodiak Perception vs Deep Learning?

vs SWE

what are they

[vernal furnace]

how was it? LC ez or med?

[fickle ivy]

hellooes

is the optiver 80in8

harder or easier than the rfqjobs test

[sonic steeple]

wdym binary search? I got a 2d array question that had to be o(n^2) and the other was pretty simple string/array, idk how binary search even fits those

[hollow sun]

Had the same thing for Bloomberg. Dude mid interview was like “yo I got a package gotta go down to the lobby be back in like 10”

[ivory ocean]

N^2 where n is a side of the matrix? Or N^2 where n is all the elements in the 2D matrix

And what was problem

Sudoku?

[hollow sun]

When ppl say n^2 it means it’s a square matrix and n^2 is all the elements, it’s if not square matrix ppl usually say nm

[sterile pewter]

does anyone know how long amazon cooldown period is? I got rejected after final stage in mid march

[ivory ocean]

Yeah I know some do that

But I’ve also seen people say it where they mean n is number of elements in entire matrix

Which is definitely a bad TC

[hollow sun]

I think if ppl say n for size then tc is usually n

[ivory ocean]

Nvm

[native scaffold]

Easies

[earnest hatch]

It's random, you can still get a hard/medium

[sonic steeple]

yeah basically

[ivory ocean]

Yeah I had that

What was the array one again I forget

[hidden gust]

did anyone go through Akuna C++ phone screen and codepair?

i just got one

[ivory ocean]

Well congratulations damn hahaha

Mans is a cpp genius

[fickle ivy]

sheesh

congrats

[hidden gust]

thanks!

[fickle ivy]

@ivory ocean or anyone know about SIG and amazon OA

what kinda problems are showing up

what i need to know

what i dont need to know

[hidden gust]

i didn’t expect i could get one

[ivory ocean]

Just scroll up

[fickle ivy]

[ivory ocean]

You're like the 10th guy to ask abt Amz OA in 2 days

[fickle ivy]

[fickle ivy]

[ivory ocean]

Nah I mean that’s good

But just be calm

and good luck

[sinful locust]

Sig is easy maybe 1 med

[hallow scroll]

The work is dope, culture and wlb is great, Salesforce tower is sick

Culture

• this view is fire

[simple garden]

LeGoat

[hallow scroll]

Salesforce is also really good

Culture wlb and stuff is consistent across all companies

Google

[trim vigil]

[hallow scroll]

Yeah they had some rising sophs here

The ones I saw were google step, MIT, etc though

Yeah a lot of the people here had good internships

There were a lot of people from no names

But had faang/unicorns

Yeah

[sinful locust]

Sales force recruiting events are fire

[craggy barn]

[simple garden]

LeGrokking my coding interview

[sinful locust]

Heard about it

Idk i just saw someone here say it

[ivory ocean]

was told about it

[sinful locust]

So i looked into it

[ivory ocean]

hahaha

jk I saw it on that github

[sinful locust]

Lmao

Who tf posted that

It’s not an internship

[ivory ocean]

Idk

It's on there every year tho

I think that repo just aims to give all info possible

last year any company that they had linked they'd also mention if that company had NG open

🙂

[sinful locust]

Yea that’s fair

You can set an alert i think on their website

Maybe I’m wrong

But just try

[simple garden]

You should always be thinking about next summers

[sinful locust]

I’m thinking about 200239480491374812734981 year

[sinful locust]

[violet willow]

ye

[ivory ocean]

Does morgan stanley not do coding tests?

I saw that somewhere I think

Or was that GS

[sinful locust]

GS does coding

Their oa is crap

[magic owl]

anyone know how to generally prepare for a career fair

[ivory ocean]

like hard?

Or genuinely crap

[sinful locust]

Nah just poor quality, the lc was easy though , 1 easy 1 med

[earnest hatch]

Brush up your resume, wear business casual clothes

[ivory ocean]

I gotcha thanks

So it must be MS that doesnt do a coding test

morgan stanley

not microsoft

[willow canopy]

What happens if I get a referral after I already got an OA?

[soft basin]

u get evaporated

[earnest hatch]

For Amazon? You can't once you've already applied

[ivory ocean]

Genuine strike from a tomahawk cruise missile moments later

[willow canopy]

Yeah for Amazon. Some recruiter said he referred me but I got oa yesterday

[earnest hatch]

Doesn't matter

[ivory ocean]

tell him hes a goofy goober

[earnest hatch]

You got OA and that's all that matters

[ivory ocean]

thats hired guaranteed

source: new grad at deepmind told recruiter they were a goofy goober

yeah it is sus

cuz i made it up

[tawdry frigate]

nah

[ivory ocean]

@fickle ivy yo

I connected w an Optiver recruiter on linkedin and asked

And they said they can’t give more info on the “neuroassessment games” section of the assessment

So everything I’ve told you is all we know

[fickle ivy]

thank you

i appreciate it

but thats also an L LMAO

its fine tho

im more worried abt the numerical reasoning

[ivory ocean]

Yeah the 80 in 8 looks rough

I’ve tried some practice ones

[fickle ivy]

ive been practicing with

rfq

[ivory ocean]

Been getting slowly less bad

[fickle ivy]

https://rfqjobs.com/practice/math/optiver-test/

[ivory ocean]

I use tradermaths.com

[fickle ivy]

tradermaths is non-representative

its a lot more multiplication

real test is a mix of everything

and has frractions

[ivory ocean]

THE REL ONE IS MULTIPLE CHOICE

OH SHOT

[fickle ivy]

rfq seems most legit

[fickle ivy]

yeah so its a bit easier

[ivory ocean]

Okay I’m checking that one out thank you

[fickle ivy]

yea

this one is

[ivory ocean]

Way fuckin easier

[fickle ivy]

slightly harder than real test

[ivory ocean]

There’s tricks to like detecting the right digits

[fickle ivy]

idt you realize

the multiple choice

is gonna change one digit in the middle

probably

the leftmost and rightmost will prob be the same

[ivory ocean]

Oh

[fickle ivy]

its an mm bro

[ivory ocean]

They’re trying to depress us!

I say NO MORE!

[tired garden]

Anyone have experience with Greylock fair? How do you recommend getting the most out of it?

[ashen portal]

got rejected by Cisco in 2 minutes after app 🥲

guess they don't do visa sponsoring

[old fog]

Anyone gave Amazon summer 23 OA?

[sand pendant]

many people got it here

[old fog]

How was it? Number of questions and difficulty level?

[pseudo orbit]

LOL

[soft basin]

its guaranteed to be 2 questions lmao for the coding portion

[earnest hatch]

Yeah, I gave them to some people in this Discord

Has anyone done CodePath iOS?

[topaz drum]

Thanks daddy i got it

[ivory ocean]

Hahaha

[earnest hatch]

@pseudo orbit check your Tinder

[hallow scroll]

@zenit check your Tinder

[pseudo orbit]

uhhhh

is your name ellie

[clever grail]

"I wanted to personally send an email" lmao

[vernal furnace]

guys question about greylock, would it be better to interact with recruiters from large companies or those with smaller companies? Cuz both seem viable but larger companies would have more wait times and competition & not sure how impactful recruiters are cuz of the automation but smaller companies maybe recruiters have more say? any thoughts?

[elfin peak]

I think the best strategy is to approach the ones you are interested in first

Doesn't matter if it's large or small company

It's hoppin lol I doubt there's even "wait times"

[gentle orbit]

how was capital ones OA?

[pseudo orbit]

i f*cking knew it

[gentle orbit]

ik there was a prep website that helped u but it had no info on wat the technical part contains

theres also no info on how long it is or anything

[vernal furnace]

never used the platform before, no clue what it's like

[clever grail]

finishing recruiting in july

[gaunt turtle]

No ser I was memeing

[frozen pivot]

bro idk if i liked the summit that much

like it seemed like they were trying so hard to seem like a company that cared but in reality they are just a big tech company that cares abt profits

[hallow scroll]

I mean the reality is thats every company lol

at the very least they do a better job at masking that then others

[frozen pivot]

yea fair enough

honestly seemed like interviews were just a formality

im still gonna try to get smth better tho, don't think ill be too happy to work at mf tablo

[hallow scroll]

yeah valid

and yeah the interviews felt practically handed to us

not gonna complain

I wouldn't pick much over slack, probably only like google but im probably on cooldown now lol

no sir

chimi said his friend had same recruiter, took him 3 months to get a rejection

google moment

yeah fr, sucks since I wont be able to try again till summer 24 and new grad

if their cooldown really is a whole year

[elfin peak]

Not from chestnut

But yea from a bunch of others

[tawdry frigate]

can u tell me which

[devout fractal]

i got from brex, nuro, bluesky, magical, kodiak

half of these greylock companies manage to write the most sus emails, I legit think they're scams until I read greylock

[tawdry frigate]

no nuro 😔

i take inspiration from ur linkedin

funniest out there

[elfin peak]

Ngl I think we need to crowdsource recruiters' email from greylock lol

[long slate]

Fr who wants to take one for the team

[hallow scroll]

yeah thats true, hopefully not by the same recruiter tho lol

[devout fractal]

tmrw

[tawdry frigate]

tbh just email the recruiters separately

only 500 ??

that’s such a competitive pool damn

[devout fractal]

wait isn't 500 a lot

how many applied

[tawdry frigate]

500 very little imo

microsoft hires 3k

that’s my frame of reference

[devout fractal]

30% is decent

[tawdry frigate]

thas 2018 news

hm fair

[devout fractal]

was this year more competitive? felt like more ppl got rng reject for no reason

[tawdry frigate]

yea i agree

i feel like it was way more competitive

imma just go to the companies that emailed me
