what the heck is 996
tiktok
@topaz lantern you have a friend now 
ah, congrats
Run
bah na na na na na na na na na, bah na na na na na na na na na
that bad lolll 
Is it a return offer?
No, applied to FT (not NG) position with referral
What role
Android SWE
did they ask you android specific questions? Im new to ng interviews at big n
do they ask domain specific stuff
No
interesting
Recruiter said they might, but they didn't
did you have android projects or experience?
on your resume
Yes, 3 internships and several projects to talk about, all Android
ahh makes sense, very cool
do they use react native at meta for android
Meta??
I never explicitly heard them talk about tech stack, but given that they have separate listings for android and iOS, they probably are doing native development
You can also read the job description and see if it says native android/iOS related stuff
3 internships with 2 of them being Google
I am so gapped with zon ☠️
Any tips on how to land a Google internship?
NGL TikTok might rescind on me. Recruiter said I could do B.S while working, then suddenly wants me to finish before starting. HM wants an early start, so I gave an earlier date, but if HM doesn't like my grad date, they'll probably choose someone else
Apply as soon as position opens. Don't only apply for summer. My 1st one was fall. Also have a good resume.
Referrals at Google have more worth if you've worked closely with the person referring
I applied twice for this summer 2024 (once when it opened in July, 2nd in September), ghosted
Hoping google will open their fall internships, but I doubt
Yeah I feel like applying early helped me. I applied within 3 days of opening.
Also use the XYZ method for bullets and have a clean resume.
Thanks! Yeah will do
Didnt mean to hijack the thread, since the topic is tiktok
Would it be alright if I dm if I have any other questions?
Sure
can interns give referrals?
99% sure they can yeah
do you have anything else in the pipeline?
are you a december grad?
Msft has ghosted me for about a month after phone screen. I'm also in Google's PA match hell
No, graduating close to May
interesting, I wouldve assumed that wouldve been ideal for a 2024 grad
good luck
This position is not new grad, it's a normal FT role
ohh, and did it have any criteria for work exp
was the referral one of those that tiktok employees have links for
almost every tiktok swe on linkedin has referral codes on their bio lol
Is there another kind of referral? Yeah I got this referral from blind. It was a referral link for TikTok portal
I was wondering if there was another kind of referral too but looks like thats the only one
san jose?
Yes
are you relocating from far away? they only gave me 7.5 sign on 😭
Across the US.
Mine is 10k I think
yeah they give more signon since its basically relocation the further u are away from your work location
Oh ok. Recruiter also brought up my competing interviews when mentioning sign on but they might have been BSing
Yeah TikTok doesn't give separate relo it's included in sign on
do you speak chinese?
No
rip GL my dude
loll
its not bad if you dont speak chinese, but hope you like chinese food
Not everyone on the team is Chinese. Both my technical interviewers weren't chinese
I will find out soon 
how long after your hm round did you get the offer?
lmao
