that was fast

[north trail]

priority link = priority rejection

[desert crystal]

💀

[deft epoch]

Must be hyper competitive ngl

[random gust]

same bro.. is your GPA good? I think I got rejected because of the transcript requirement 😐

[deft epoch]

I don’t think they care about GPA honestly

[random gust]

That’s what I thought but like why ask for transcript then

[deft epoch]

Got 2x interviews with them in the past for their internships

Straight resume rejected now

Probably just resume not competitive enough for the market

[deft epoch]

Not sure, but even Google does a similar thing right?

[random gust]

I have 3 internships at FAANG and Big N and did the networking event also have research publications + good projects, my flaws are mid school and bad gpa .. maybe I’m coping

But I think that’s why

[deft epoch]

Hmmm yea I have 2 faang+ and 1 unicorn so I am clueless

Who knows maybe we need multiple HFT internships or something to be competitive

God knows 😂😂😂

[random gust]

Lmao probs just specific niche experience

[deft epoch]

Hopefully

[hardy scarab]

got resume rejected as well

i have good exp too 😞

[deft epoch]

What are they 👀

[hardy scarab]

2 internships and a research position at a large company

[deft epoch]

Yea I feel like that’s not enough for the current market, sorry man

I mean I got resume rejected too so what do I even know lol

[hardy scarab]

target school as well :/

[hardy scarab]

yeah prolly not for databricks and other companies that pay fuck ton of tc

[wooden lodge]

How the job search been

[deft epoch]

0% response rate so far

100% resume rejections

[wooden lodge]

Same

[deft epoch]

Don't you have a return offer tho

[wooden lodge]

I declined cb I couldn’t graduate in time

[deft epoch]

Eh I can't even pass resume screen for avg companies lol

[deft epoch]

Ah okay

[wooden lodge]

I got inclined for ro at my current place but I gotta wait till september

[deft epoch]

Bruh I really wish I could just take CB full time back then lmao

[deft epoch]

I see

[hardy scarab]

are u 2024 grad?

[wooden lodge]

Try reaching out to them I think they’ll give you an easier process

[deft epoch]

Yep

[deft epoch]

Idek if CB is gonna be hiring tho

[wooden lodge]

I tied emailing them recently and they said they would reach out next week and see if they can work something out

[hardy scarab]

most companies haven’t opened yet so still small sample size

[wooden lodge]

Nah they are

They’re extending offers to some people who were on the waitlist rn

[deft epoch]

Wait wtf

Bruh

[wooden lodge]

Probably mostly internal hires

[deft epoch]

For 2023 or 2024???

Wait lemme dm you

Don't wanna clutter this thread

[wooden lodge]

Sure

[autumn jay]

when did you apply? @north trail @random gust

[north trail]

@random gust I have similar experience and have a good gpa, high 3.9

I think they were targetting very specific experience

[hardy scarab]

mfs targeting some crazy shit

[north trail]

@autumn jay 4 days ago

[autumn jay]

damn this must be very competitive

[deft epoch]

Probably 4.0 gpa with JS + Citadel + HRT and shit lmao

[autumn jay]

Has anyone gotten databricks OA?

[deft epoch]

Wtf this market

[hardy scarab]

😂 ur prolly right too thats the funny thing

[deft epoch]

Idk if I should laugh or cry at this point

[hardy scarab]

i mean in this market the top companies can be ultra selective

[deft epoch]

[deft epoch]

Yeah

[hardy scarab]

bro this is all cuz of faang ngl

faang fucked us over

all these ex faang ppl looking for jobs now

[random gust]

The hour it opened

[autumn jay]

ok damn so they're working thorugh them now

[random gust]

What location did you apply to

[north trail]

i put priority as bellevue

[sonic nest]

yea i got RR with fb + 2 unicorns too 2 years in a row 😹

[autumn jay]

maybe its not prestige that they care about but what u did at the job wherever it is

[sonic nest]

see one thing i noticed abt ppl who got interviews last year is that they all did systems work at prestigious companies

but problem is databricks has a shit ton of product work available alongside systems

[autumn jay]

It also could be they're looking for more women and diverse applicants to apply

[autumn jay]

were those people from top teir universities?

[deft epoch]

Maybe bcs it's not JS + HRT + Citadel instead 🤣

Market is seriously fcked ngl

[deft epoch]

For internship too?

I got 2 interviews with them last year, one for the regular SWE and another for Security Eng. Both of these are for internships tho

[sonic nest]

yes

[sonic nest]

yes

[deft epoch]

Well I guess I can be a counterexample lol I have no system/low-level engineering exp at all

[eternal verge]

they wanna hit you with 🧱

[dry thunder]

I talked with a director through a mutual contact

It is massively competitive rn. Apparently a LOT of companies in the Bay have hiring freeze for New Grads rn, meaning that positions at the companies that DO open are closing very quickly (this includes DB, where in the past they had capacity to hire more but now they've tightened their grip)

[sonic nest]

theres massively competitive and then this stupid shit lol

they are def filtering on top school and experience together
