How long ago did you apply?

[sullen forge]

And did you have a referral

[plush swift]

holy shit

im somehow still ghosted by them

[steel aurora]

Applied oct 31st had referral

[steel aurora]

I was expecting ghost tbh

[plush swift]

might try to reapply with a referral then

referrals are huge for a decent amount of companies so not surprised

[steel aurora]

Guess neetcode 150 going down this winter break 🙂 I really want this

[plush swift]

fr

[steel aurora]

I had one from an architect

[plush swift]

damn

[steel aurora]

This uncle I met at a house party was actually cracked making 500k

And I didn’t even know

[paper karma]

Applied sep1st w referral and ghosted

[steel aurora]

Don’t lose hope a dude that applied in aug with referral got like last week

[plush swift]

applied sept without referral cold emailed recruiters still ghosted

[sullen forge]

I mean I did too (although I have no idea if my referrer confirmed or not based on the messaging) and still haven't heard back. Kind of nutty that they haven't gotten back to some people yet

[sullen forge]

I mean did they respond to you. If not then idk what that cold emailing did for you

[steel aurora]

What does this mean

[spice karma]

I did the OA recently and it wasn’t even LC. It was really easy

[steel aurora]

If u have a referrer u get an email

[sullen forge]

Ah I was told to just list their name in the where I heard about this position from

And now I have something like this:

[plush swift]

not really lol i don't think it worked

one person did respond but like they ghosted after

[sullen forge]

@steel aurora This is what I am referring to

[sullen forge]

Probably not no

[plush swift]

👍

[sullen forge]

Has that strat worked for you elsewhere @plush swift I am very curious

[plush swift]

ye but it's not consistent at all

[sullen forge]

At what kinds of places? Any patterns?

[plush swift]

big tech but like the pattern is literally rng

[sullen forge]

Ah gotcha well thx for letting me know anyways

[steel aurora]

ya I haven’t not 100% an oa besides citadel lol hopefully this not the second

met pbjpie in person yesterday got salesforce oa today after being presumably ghosted… coincidence I think not

[sullen forge]

Same college I assume

Also @steel aurora referring to the message I sent above (the one with "Request Sent" or something like that), did you receive that message as well or not

[crisp valve]

Are u almost guranteed an interview if you ace the OA? Or is OA sent to everyone

[sullen forge]

I do not think it is sent to everyone

[crisp valve]

Oh ok, I aced the OA should I have high hopes for an interview

or is it still very much random

[spice karma]

When did you do the OA?

[sullen forge]

Better question might be how long after applying did you get it

[crisp valve]

like 2 hours ago

[crisp valve]

like months lol

I applied like October got it today

[sullen forge]

With a referral I assume?

[crisp valve]

Yeah

[spice karma]

I did the OA on Friday and haven’t heard back. They said it can take up to 2 weeks to hear back

[crisp valve]

who was the recruiter who messaged u

[sullen forge]

With your referral did you see an image something like this in your portal?

[crisp valve]

let me check

its workday right

[sullen forge]

Ye

[spice karma]

I didn’t get an email from a recruiter

[crisp valve]

Yeah I had that

have*

[sullen forge]

Alright good to know thanks

[crisp valve]

Wait I lied I applied in november

lmao I have terrible memory XD

[steel aurora]

Nah I didnt I just got this

After I submitted my app with my referrer in the referral column

[crisp valve]

I got an email from an actual recruiter saying when the last day to do the OA

anf it wasnt a bot it had a name linkedln and everything

[sullen forge]

Interesting...

[crisp valve]

is it different for everyone

Bruh they give u so much time too

240 mins

[sullen forge]

4 hours?

[crisp valve]

Yeah

[sullen forge]

Probably don't want time to be an issue

[crisp valve]

I finished in one tho

[sullen forge]

What is it like 2 questions?

[crisp valve]

2 lol

[spice karma]

My Salesforce OA was really easy. Only took 1 hour

[crisp valve]

same which is good and bad because Im sure ewveryone im competing with aced it too

[sullen forge]

Yeah my guess is that they are thinking something like Optiver and Lucid where they don't want time to be a concern

[spice karma]

But isn’t OA after resume screen?

[crisp valve]

^

I dont thin everyone gets the OA

[spice karma]

Damn I didn’t even get Netflix OA lmao

[crisp valve]

bruh

[sullen forge]

Doesn't netflix not really give a crap about your oa score

I remember mention of someone passing through with a sub-700 score

[crisp valve]

Netlflix or SalesForce?

I think paypal sent to everytone

cause a recruite didnt message me

[sullen forge]

They literally said in their application that everyone gets it

[crisp valve]

recruiter

did u get refferred

[sullen forge]

At least I got a rejection from one of these god damn that's a long way back

[spice karma]

Do you have prior FAANG+ exp?

[crisp valve]

I think refferra is the sole reason I got this OA

I have 0 prier internship so Im praying on anything really

[sullen forge]

Like a firm?

[crisp valve]

are yall in undergrad

[sullen forge]

Yes, considering a 1 year masters

[crisp valve]

are u a junior?

[sullen forge]

Ye

Why do you ask?

[crisp valve]

Im just curious cause so am I

[sullen forge]

You considering a masters option?

[crisp valve]

idk im kinda concerned about what to do if I dont get an internship

[sullen forge]

International?

[crisp valve]

no

[sullen forge]

Oh

[crisp valve]

Im from the Bay Area

[sullen forge]

OH

I'll move this somewhere else

[steel aurora]

Wtf

[plush swift]

They do for ng

I got a ng friend who got Netflix oa but he didn’t pass

[timid apex]

Same, I messaged 4 different Salesforce/Tableau recruiters over the weeks and all of them ignored me. Last time I got interview too.

[steel aurora]

My resume sucks hope I don’t get walked after oa

LOL

[sullen forge]

lore?

Oh

I get it now

[steel aurora]

850 or ghost

[sullen forge]

I think

I would assume your resume has to be god tier in a sense to pass through to netflix's next rounds

[timid apex]

Not necessarily

Some people have gotten Netflix with 0 prior internship experience and good projects on their resume

[sullen forge]

pip?

[steel aurora]

I get ghosted after oa it’s ur fault

Already have done like all besides hards

but if I secure interview the n150 is going down this winter

[sullen forge]

Fun :/ then I will flunk in that category (I'm about as low in diversity as you can get)

[steel aurora]

I love leetcoding they are so fun puzzles I love leetcoding they are so fun puzzles I love leetcoding they are so fun puzzles

[plush swift]

I love leetcoding they are so fun puzzles I love leetcoding they are so fun puzzles I love leetcoding they are so fun puzzles

[sullen forge]

Sounds like a mantra to avoid the pain

[steel aurora]

Big tech should start taking lift totals because imo it differentiates u and makes the workplace more diverse

[plush swift]

FR

[steel aurora]

When is upl

My dream is to hit a 700 deadlift at a big tech gym
