Don't wanna dox recruiters but also don't want others on my bag

U said aa right?

[raven hornet]

Yea

[tall grotto]

I had two lol

Vz and Gw

[raven hornet]

I had vz last year I think

[tall grotto]

She sent me OA I never did it and then GW emailed me interview LOL

Not sure what happened there

[raven hornet]

Oh I just checked I had vz at first but the phone email is aa

I think vz is the first one for everyone maybe

[tall grotto]

She just told me I could pick whatever I wanted

Out of all their open reqs

[fathom notch]

Visa seems fire gl on it

[raven hornet]

The OA email said SWE not SWE intern this year and I got scared fr

@tall grotto so in the call u picked a team? Did gw give u a list?

[tall grotto]

I picked tje technology I wanted to work with

She said I saw you applied for both SRE and SWE do you have a preference

And I said it's team dependent I don't care about the title

And she asked what teams would you want

And I said I want something C/C++ or ill probably decline any offer I receive

[raven hornet]

Damn just like that

Cold

[tall grotto]

Lol

[raven hornet]

W

[tall grotto]

🙏🏽

[raven hornet]

I hope they got teams for react

[tall grotto]

She was good abt it

She was like alright ill make sure to work that out then

And then she asked loc preference if multiple teams r good options

[raven hornet]

Oh so it’s not locked on the location u applied for

[tall grotto]

Def

[tall grotto]

Nah

I took denve4

Denver

Just cus it was the only city I remembered out of the ones she listsd

But it's a bigger city iirc so more fun prob

[fathom notch]

Nah foster city totally best location

[raven hornet]

Austin is too hot I’m tryna escape the Texas heat

[fathom notch]

U would totally not be bored as shit during ur internship

[raven hornet]

Is foster city in the Bay Area

[fathom notch]

Yes

Peninsula

[tall grotto]

Ohhh wtf foster city is bay

Damn shoulda taken tjat

[raven hornet]

Bet I interned in Santa Clara this summer I loved it

[fathom notch]

Ye i passed through it on the highway once

[tall grotto]

Ngl I think they're on my meat I'll just change my preference lol

I'll threaten decline if they don't

Think it'll work

[fathom notch]

Ye i like to exaggerate the misery

It’s pretty fire worst case go to sf

[raven hornet]

SF is hell

[fathom notch]

[jaunty sky]

Traffic is kinda sucky in bay area

[raven hornet]

I spent one day there

[jaunty sky]

esp after google and meta issued RTO

[fathom notch]

Just use Caltrain /s

[raven hornet]

San Jose / Santa Clara was peak

[tall grotto]

This is why WA > CA

Lol

[fathom notch]

This happened before rto lol

[raven hornet]

No car but I got around easily with the bus and train

[jaunty sky]

Cupertino was literally just old koreans

[fathom notch]

The pandemic slowing down caused traffic to restart

[raven hornet]

Seattle = SF tho

[tall grotto]

Valid

[jaunty sky]

My commute from cupertino -> mtv along 101 went from 15 min to 45 min after

[tall grotto]

I live in seattle it's not all that

I prefer the suburbs

[fathom notch]

Ok nvm

[raven hornet]

Anywhere that isn’t Texas I’m cool with cuz Texas summers are hell

[tall grotto]

Lol yea

[raven hornet]

I’d almost rather spend a summer in SF than a summer in Texas

Almost

[tall grotto]

Cali summers get kinda nasty but not as bad as Texas lol

[raven hornet]

No bro Bay Area weather was heavenly

[tall grotto]

Well tbh anything above 85 too much for me

Cons of growing up in wa

[raven hornet]

50 degrees in the morning in June is crazy that’s December afternoon in Texas

[raven hornet]
