gloomy zenith

cunning ruin

glad garnet
Title. They have only a few spots left and over 100 people who finished final wa...
100 ppl finishing final is crazy
gloomy zenith
I don't think they were prepared for how desperate we all are these last two years
FAANG not hiring is creating a massive surplus of SWE candidates, who are over preparing with LeetCode while they wait no less
uneven grotto
so why still schedule interview in mid Feb, drive ppl nuts
quasi current
Damn recruiters said “not to worry”
restive dew
Which location?
gloomy zenith
Which location?
NYC
plush pivot
Did anyone else have any round scheduled today or in coming days? Maybe they can confirm
ripe cypress
theres another thread where ppl are talking about spots left
i think in the past day or two said chicago full, nyc and sf spots but sf has priority
<=15 spots]
digital pulsar
is nyc more popular than sf
ripe cypress
but there are an insane amount of people waiting after their final regardless
gloomy zenith
There's a thread from yesterday that said <= 5
glad prairie
💀
ripe cypress
iirc probably 100 or so waiting for decisions that have been told coming out by fri
plush pivot
Damn
glad prairie
bruh 100 is nuts
ripe cypress
yeah its ridiculous
glad prairie
there is a good chance majority of them probably did well on the final
ripe cypress
there lots of people that have been waiting for 1-2 weeks too
so its definitely up there
glad prairie
so how are they gonna differentiate
ripe cypress
great question 😭
ivory bough
yea i think it's not affirm but rather that no one else is hiring so affirm is getting slamed
ripe cypress
i mean
i think they can afford to be insanely selective now too
so it doesnt mean every spot will fill up
ivory bough
also like of the offers given i doubt any will renege esp in this market
ripe cypress
they said they dont allow reneg iirc
gloomy zenith
i think they can afford to be insanely selective now too
You can be sure of that from now on
glad prairie
hmm maybe hm/dei round will make the cut
ripe cypress
in my hr interview
ivory bough
what does that mean?
ripe cypress
hm*
ivory bough
how do they stop u?
glad prairie
yeah what are they gonna do lol
ripe cypress
🤷
ivory bough
also did u ask if u could renege lmaoo????
ripe cypress
i mean u can definitely ask
ripe cypress
they just told me the compensation package and that it was set i think and then if thats fine
and then i said
Yeah
doesnt necessarily mean u cant reneg i guess so thats mb 😭
ivory bough
so yeah if i give this candidate an offer and ive been asked by this candidate if they can renege then it means i shouldn't give this candidate an offer in the first place
ripe cypress
i mean given how many people are interviewing and want the job i dont think theyd give u a better compensation package anyways
timber ruin
Its at will
karmic sigil
renegotiate the package to higher? No
ivory bough
no negotiation
timber ruin
Idk
Wasnt paying attention
ivory bough
and i've never heard of any tech co about tuition reinbursement
ripe cypress
^
timber ruin
isnt 137k salary + 250k tc with options
Its closer to 230k tc
ripe cypress
kk
gloomy zenith
isnt 137k salary + 250k tc with options
No it's $250k total
ivory bough
relocation stipend and some allowance for food, tech equipment, etc
those are all memes in this economy for the fact that the biggest benefit is offer and employment
ripe cypress
😅
ivory bough
then next benefit would be stable employment in that u hope they don't fire/lay u off
timber ruin
At their current valuation its 230 ish
ripe cypress
id take any check atp
timber ruin
Not profitable
But they have a lot of cash to burn
ripe cypress
any job 😭
gloomy zenith
Okay?
karmic sigil
nothing is stable, all techs are firing ppl
timber ruin
not profitable???
Their expenses are greater than revenue
ivory bough
ive always been critical of companies that run at a loss for growth and market share (i asked one ceo during an all hands at my previous internship) and i was laughed at for not understanding "biznis" and blitzscaling but like no i was asking how the business fundamentals weren't in place to weather a recession or a non-LIRP situation and now look where we are
glad prairie
nothing is stable, all techs are firing ppl
mastercard is stable
but lower tc
iirc didnt have any layoffs
timber ruin
I think bloomberg doesnt have layoffs either
glad prairie
bloomberg hiring bar probably higher than affirm
timber ruin
Oh yeah definitely
glad prairie
i wonder how better the market will be once amazon gives out ROs
no more 100 people waiting for 5 spots
i feel like they wouldnt care about amazon RO
their tc higher anyways
or if osmeone has amazon ro
they are probably a better candidate in affirms eyes
higher priority for offer 💀
heady wraith
i wonder how better the market will be once amazon gives out ROs
if amazon gives out ros lmao
reef surge
is it 100 ppl finished final waiting on decisions or 100 ppl lined up to finish their final rounds?
lol damn
I have my final tmr rip
plush pivot
good luck, i have it mid-feb...no hopes now at all
reef surge
thanks! But we might be in the same boat
plush pivot
Why don't they just cancel it if they have a 100 ppl waiting lol
Wasting their own resources
ripe cypress
well
i think theyre jsut gonna be very selective
they do have quite a lot of time anyways
plus now looking for best candidates i guess
plush pivot
Should've been selective from the beginning
reef surge
I kinda doubt they have 100 ppl waiting
heady wraith
^
reef surge
since they give out decisions around one week after
heady wraith
yah i agree
plush pivot
I second this
ripe cypress
theyve had some people waiting 1-2 weeks
heady wraith
also the interviews are 3 hours long so they cant proces that many interviews in one day
ripe cypress
plus im assuming everyday is like packed w interviews
yeah true
some ppl have been waiting a while though
plush pivot
That is true...100 seems quite a lot
heady wraith
I think a better estimate would be under 20 ppl waiting
plush pivot
I wish that is true
ripe cypress
i think its probably over 20
given amt of interviews + ppl that are already waiting
plush pivot
Well but still 100 seems insane
reef surge
I remembered my rec told me they process interviews by weekly batch
no way theres 100 interviews in a week lol
plush pivot
I mean look at these reddit polls, not everyone votes but more people have received offer than waiting after final...It shouldn't be like 100 imo lol..

heady wraith
