[lapis mulch]

[chilly wolf]

Thanks

[lapis mulch]

so idk

but she decided to give me system design at the end

[chilly wolf]

HM chat?

[lapis mulch]

yeah it was HR -> EM in 2 diff rooms

[chilly wolf]

Like ood or architecture

[lapis mulch]

i guess more OOD

it was really vague

[chilly wolf]

I see

Prob offer

If u make it to EM 90% chance

[lapis mulch]

oh really sick

yeah it seemed chillish

she just said we had extra time so lets do a problem

[chilly wolf]

HM didn’t ask me

HR did during onsite and I dodged

[past jetty]

Wouldn't it help u if u said u had competing offers?

[strange bloom]

How u dodge?

[chilly wolf]

I have a return offer but no details yet

Is what i saif

And asked a question to divert

[chilly wolf]

Will tell them after I get the actual letter

[past jetty]

Cool. Do u know if HR convenes all the interviewers for a meeting to make the hiring decision? I read that somewhere, but Idk if they do that for new grads too cuz new grads don't interview with specific teams

[lapis mulch]

i feel like prob not

[jolly pawn]

Did you have any systems design?

[past jetty]

Do u know if the EM that u interview with makes the hiring decision?

[lapis mulch]

no clue

prob consult with HR and decide

but mine was campus based so might be diff

[chilly wolf]

No idea

[novel crow]

why did you divert? Is it usually bad to tell them you have an offer?

[hexed dragon]

@chilly wolf dog company sadly

[chilly wolf]

job

[chilly wolf]

Bc I hadn’t passed the HM yet

[chilly wolf]

Yes, not questions they’ll normally ask ng tho. My conversation just headed in that direction so they just asked in between

[still dew]

do you know the TC yet? @chilly wolf

[chilly wolf]

Not yet

[novel crow]

but why does that make it bad? I told them i had a competing offer during my HR interview

[jolly pawn]

Why did you get asked it?

Unlucky?

Or did your resume have that kind of stuff?

[chilly wolf]

I said I liked distributed systems, started talking about projects then the question popped up

[chilly wolf]

I never said it was bad, just saying what i did

[sick sage]

wait so did you say you had competing offers
