I didn't do well on the reactions

Applied around 2 weeks ago

trail valve
#

not qualified to give advice bro

#

if you are T10, you are fine

minor karma
#

I see the other stanford/mit students are putting like 800 apps just to barely get an offer, and everything seems so gloomy

#

with so many rounds of interviews

#

for each job

trail valve
#

kinda crazy

minor karma
#

no, I wasn't good enough to pass aime

#

like college?

#

I don't have a job

#

Stanford

#

I don't have many olys

#

bro if youre in this server you are already ahead of fucking everyone your age

minor karma
#

I see some students who already have 3 full time internships

#

in their prev summers

sleek holly
#

only cause youre at T10

minor karma
#

yeah

#

at big places

sleek holly
#

at any other schools that is not a common thing at all

minor karma
#

those kids are crazy

sleek holly
#

minor karma
#

I don't think its 1 on us news anymore

#

it fell a bit

#

Fuck off bro goes Stanford is a “t10”

#

Brother goes to one of the most reknowned cs schools in the world

#

It’s like mfs who say “I go to school I. Boston”

minor karma
#

I feel like harvard, yale, princton, cmu, berkeley, mit, caltech, and some ivies are equally good. Like brown has really high starting salary

blazing crest
#

if ur hypsm and in this server just relax and leetcode

#

ur gonna get thru the screens with uni name alone

minor karma
#

Yale?

#

Its like t5 on us news overall

harvard yale princeton stanford mit

#

Do you know if Apple takes freshmen?

#

or Amazon

calm moon
#

I've seen it for apple but it's team dependent

quick token
#

Bro relax

#

Optiver is better than all of those

#

Apple feeds from any school

minor karma
#

since they wanted 2026

#

and 2 years off is too far

quick token
#

Bro yiu get optiver in your resume and kight as well drop out of Stanford after

#

Doesn’t even matter what school you go to after that

minor karma

#

💀💀💀 bro got qt second round and doesn’t even know quant salaries

#

Every major quant is like 300 starting + some bonus

#

Usually 100-150ish

#

400-450 is a reasonable expectation for any quant role

#

At like big quant

#

"The estimated total pay range for a Trader at Optiver is $250K–$435K per year, which includes base salary and additional pay."

#

I feel like beginning trader would make less

quick token
#

Bro

#

Tbh gas cap asf

#

Optiver pays their interns more than 200k adjusted for a yearly pay

#

Your chillin you can get Apple or Amazon whenever the fuck you want

#

Amazon also is a shot hold company

#

Shithole

minor karma
#

I think apple ghosted me tho, even with a referral

#

Like I would trade optiver for apple, since the company's work seems really cool

clear hamlet
#

minor karma
#

like people get to use your work

#

every day

Like spaceX would be so cool to work at

Interviews mean nothing usually unless you get the offer

minor karma
hidden lagoon
#

minor karma
#

What percent of the people here want quant vs swe. Is this server more focused on quant than the general computer science servers
