wait what the FK

#

highkey this makes no sense

thin spoke
#

U don’t have system design

torpid ether
#

New grads dont have system design + it's just inevitable man

thin spoke
#

New grads they need to hire a ton = lower hiring bar

torpid ether
#

you get less interns per company vs new grads. You have less of a reason to spend money hiring an intern as opposed to a new grad

lethal jolt
#

for quant firms though?

torpid ether
#

same stuff for quants

lethal jolt
#

my friend worked on a team with 10 interns

torpid ether
#

Their intern sizes are TINY

lethal jolt
#

2 got returns

#

at citadel

#

but neither took it

torpid ether
#

but it wasn't impossible I still cracked it

lethal jolt
#

i got rejected last cycle after final

#

damn

#

ok

#

were you at citadel last summmer?

torpid ether
torpid ether
#

just cold applied through their portal

lethal jolt
#

but you got an offer right?

#

did you go somewhere else?

thin spoke
#

He’s at G

lethal jolt
#

turned down citadel for google?

thin spoke
#

Pretty sure he negotiated

#

With a different offer

lethal jolt
#

wow

#

i see

thin spoke
#

I don’t think G acknowledged the signing bonus

lethal jolt
#

wait G = google right

thin spoke
#

Yes

lethal jolt
#

i thought big tech doesn't negotiate

torpid ether
#

wdym

thin spoke
#

They always do

lethal jolt
#

for internship offers?

torpid ether
#

there's exceptions like meta for new grad but usually they nego

torpid ether
lethal jolt
#

ohh

torpid ether
#

you're in the new grad channel remember lmao

lethal jolt
#

right right

#

whats ur tc at google if you don't mind sharing

torpid ether
#

265k in Seattle

#

Cit was 350k in NYC

lethal jolt
#

i see

torpid ether
#

Lotta reasons why I chose G but it ultimately came down to 3 things

#
  1. Career trajectory
#
  1. Internal mobility
#
  1. WLB
#

All three were just better at G

thin spoke
#

Yea google is nice cuz you guys have SRE

#

Every other tech company u have oncall outside work lol

#

Except others like meta

lethal jolt
#

i was meta last summer

torpid ether
#

I think we still get oncalls depending on the teams but its a lot less

lethal jolt
#

they definitely have on call at least on my team

thin spoke
torpid ether
#

did you get it?

lethal jolt
#

im still going for internships lol

thin spoke
#

SRE have nighttime

lethal jolt
#

jsut seeing my path for new grad next year

#

had a firend who worked at optiver

#

his manager made 5mil bonus

#

would you have gone to another firm like optiver

#

wlb there sucks too

#

i imagine you would take jane street tho

#

but optiver or like two sigma

torpid ether
#

Quants are not my thing

#

I'm most likely avoiding it my entire career

#

WLB is one thing, but culture is a bit worse in quant on a more general level too

#

TC evens at the top levels

#

and there's a much higher chance of building connections that can lead you startups that have successful exits

lethal jolt
#

i see

#

I like your logic here

#

alright thanks for your inputs man
