random jetty
#

Did you say you still wanna be considered for delta

uncut meadow
#

no

random jetty
#

Or she just rejected you

#

Oh

uncut meadow
#

i have an ok return offer and i don't really want delta tbh

smoky kayak
#

fwiw all my friends in palantir quit after max 2 years

#

except 1

random jetty
#

My friend joined as an swe last year and he quit in 5 months

#

Apparently some teams are awful to work on

smoky kayak
#

scarlet magnet
smoky kayak
#

uncut meadow
#

i heard delta was basically consulting so i didn't really want that shit'

scarlet magnet
#

💀

random jetty
#

But idk

smoky kayak
#

delta is also just technical consultant i heard

#

like they try to say it isn't but it is

uncut meadow
#

i asked some meh questions during the interview and recruiter was basically like "depends on team"

random jetty
#

Yeah forward deployed software engineer ☠️ basically glorified consultant

smoky kayak
#

#

some deltas are basically swes and exclusively write code

#

Some are basically consultants and do mostly client interaction

scarlet magnet
#

forward deployed delta is basically a beta swe

random jetty
#

Oh i didn’t know deltas have teams

fiery flint
#

You can choose based on what you want as long as your team can support it

random jetty
#

I thought they just move from project to project

Also it’s 200k for new grads with free food lol

#

I am an fdse at palantir right now, started about a month ago

#

the company does a really bad job at explaining what this role actually does lol

#

I write more interesting code now than I ever did at other big tech

smoky kayak
#

thats awesome

fiery flint

#

how many spots u think there are for ft delta?

fiery flint
#

But that’s a total ballpark estimate

smoky kayak
#

no i'm hearing that ballpark from a few

#

how many spots u guys think are left? maybe 150 or so

#

I gave the onsite last year and my sys design interview was weird, interviewer spent the whole time asking me to go in depth on the databases and we didn’t have time to cover the whole architecture

#

It’s not a normal sys design interview

fiery flint
#

So they value your ability to design and understand databases a lot

#

More than typical dsa in my experience

smoky kayak
#

really

#

like what kind of questions would they ask

fiery flint
#

Standard sys design but they might care more about database details

random jetty
fiery flint
#

Depends a lot on interviewer

random jetty
#

So i have no idea how much they’re trying to hire this year

random jetty
#

Was your hm leetcode or another sys design?

fiery flint
#

Lc

#

Was an easy one as well

#

Mostly a behavioral round

random jetty
#

Oh fr I’m hearing hm asks lc hard

#

Seems like people have very different experiences

fiery flint
#

Hm is a total toss up

#

My understanding is the hm will look at all your interviews up to that point and pick something they want to see

smoky kayak
#

lc hard god damn

fiery flint
#

So like if your a cracked dsa and but fumble the sys design they will probably give you one more chance at sys design

#

for deltas the hm round is usually the time where they try to figure out if you are actually a good specific fit for delta or swe, then palantir as a whole

#

It’s the kool aid round lol

random jetty
#

I see

smoky kayak
#

too bad they're not hiring devs? 😦

random jetty
#

Did you use any resources to prep for your sys design

fiery flint
#

No this was my first sys design

#

Those resources also don’t help too much

#

For new grad sys design they care very little about the actual techniques and technicals of sys design

#

And they care very much about how good you are at understanding the problem and asking enough questions

#

And databases apparently

random jetty
#

Ok cool thanks for the tips

smoky kayak
#

what should you use to study then?

#

for sys design

random jetty
#

Late 2023 or early 2024

smoky kayak
#

also how's the food at the office

smoky kayak
random jetty
#

I’ve heard the food is amazing lol

half phoenix
#

Apparently not as good as meta dogesmile

smoky kayak
#

fb food so good

#

Hmm idk if its different for new grad but for internship decomp, I just did java oop and got good feedback. Do they actually expect a full system?

random jetty
#

Wdym java oop?

white jasper
#

Also I think I fucked up too. Emailed my recruiter from last asking if/when the new grad regular swe roles were opening. They emailed back saying that they weren't planning to open them then I was rejected the next day w/ no OA, despite making HM round in the past and being encouraged to reapply in the future.

white jasper
#

As if I was just making a desktop java program

That's good though, yeah I think just mentioning you prefer normal SWE is instant reject lol
