ayee congrats, i have a final with coming up!
@west flicker do they still have winter spots open?

[west flicker]

@surreal widget sorry, my recruiter didn’t tell me any info on whether on how many spots they have left. that being said, it’s optum so they probably have a ton of spots and there also isn’t much competition left since the job post closed a while ago. good luck! they got back to me in 3 days btw

[surreal widget]

Interesting, I’m assuming you got in for winter and start around January? That’s what I’m hoping cuz I applied for the spring co-op but applied through indeed, not on their website

Thanks for the heads up

[west flicker]

yep! i start jan 30th and it’s 6 months.

final was solely behavioral for me. just talking about how i work in a team and my past technical projects

if you go to glassdoor literally 6/7 questions i got asked were on the website

[surreal widget]

6 months is awesome, i heard pay was around 29/hr

[surreal widget]

that's good to hear, i think they go through resume during interview (not sure)
but yeah, I'll def check out glassdoor, thanks for lmk

congrats again!

[west flicker]

i get $26 for remote but i’m in minnesota so it’s pretty beast

my interviewer did not go through my resume though

granted i kind of high rolled and didn’t even get a swe to interview me

my interviewer was a cybersecurity person who was originally a business major

[surreal widget]

i'm in seattle so don't know if the pay will be affected

[surreal widget]

interesting, my interviewer initials is SK but hopefully they're chill

[west flicker]

is your location in seattle for the uhg? i don’t see anything on levels.fyi for seattle but seattle is definitely gonna be more money than minnesota remote

[surreal widget]

i don't think UHG has a seattle location, but i chose the remote option so I'll potentially be working from there

[west flicker]

when’s your final?

[surreal widget]

the 11/14
