yeah was curious when ur Hm Was? 👀
8/23 applied
9/6 heard from recruiter that i would be expedited to vo + only need to do integration and bug squash because i made it past hm last year
9/23 integration
9/26 bug squash (had to reschedule because fire alarm went off in my building lmao)
10/3 hm
10/11 recruiter reached out to say that i got offer + to schedule offer call
so 8 days between hm and offer
nope just had this one (1) process
is your recruiter c.f?
no
SHEEEEEEEEEESH
followed up on tuesday
@elfin maple us or Canada?
🐐
@agile hornet US (targeting sf but no confirmed location yet)
ETA: confirmed sf with recruiter
goat

what were ur recruiter’s initials? i just wanna know if they’re the same as mine last year 👀
hahah ty
Congrats tho had my hm yesterday so 
🙏 hope you hear back soon!
Hey can I dm?
@elfin maple u got an offer last year asw? was it for intern and what was your vo performance like
@tawny tulip i did not get an offer last year (for summer 2024 intern) - they stack ranked me for over a month after my hm and then rejected me 😎
i also did process a lot later last year - i think i did my hm towards the end of october
hopefully you won't be stack ranked as hard since i imagine you're doing the process earlier! 🤞
dyk if they care a lot abt resume value for stack rank
i don't know because i'm not a recruiter 😔 but i imagine they do a holistic review of everything post-hm
ah sorry one more q do u remember what ur rounds were like last yr?
i won't give you the questions if that's what you're asking
tbh it's been so long that i've forgotten lol
fair enough
thanks dude! hope you hear back soon too 😤
i have asked to reschedule bug squash too, my apartment complex decided to have n outage
can i dm about bug squash @elfin maple ?
@slate bough you can ask in this thread! i have dms off because i kept getting spammed
my recruiter was pretty responsive about rescheduling
Which language you used for bug? if python was it mako? ast?
Yeah just got rescheduled
yep i used python
For the bug squash, would you recommend using the debugger? I mostly just use print statements when debugging so I’m hesitant about suddenly starting to use the debugger
i didn’t use debugger for my bug squash (vscode pytest integration decided to act up 💀) but i would recommend learning how to use the debugger in your chosen ide + language!
i think print statements are def good enough as long as you explain well but using debugger is good signal + there were several points during my interview where i thought “damn i wish i had a debugger rn”
but in the end you should do whatever you’re most comfortable with
@elfin maple how was you integration and coding btw
good enough to pass the bar i guess
Hi @elfin maple, can I dm you?
@halcyon junco .
i didn’t do a coding round
So for the VO you just did the Integration + Bug Squash?
yes that’s what my timeline msg says
Thank you
Any information about location? Like are they only assigning people to one specific location or will they let you choose
hmm not sure, i got an offer for the location i indicated as my first choice in my application
i think i’ve seen other people on this server who have asked for + been given a different location though
prob best to ask your recruiter
Ahhh i see
Lolll im hoping i dont get cooked
I finished all the rounds for my VO 15 min early and my interviewers seemed pretty happy with my problem solving process? As well as my test cases
Tried my best to split up code into helper functions to make it cleaner
But yeah i have my hm on monday
sounds like you did pretty well! good luck with your hm :)
i have my offer call on monday too, i’ll try and ask for updates on headcount then
i’ll be in sf!
Ohhhh nice
i remember seeing somewhere that there’s 30-40 new grad spots for sf
Ohhh dangg
Loll hoping i can clutch up
Like i got an RO for amazon but tbh if i could stay in the bay it would be a big plus 😂
hahah yeah i was in the same boat except with ms
gl again, maybe we’ll see each other in office next summer 😎
Just finished the hm
Have no idea how well i did but the interviewer was polite
And it seemed like he understood the points I made
Like he said stuff like "I see", and "yeah" thruout the interview and a good amt of clarifying questions
I did kinda stutter a bit but it wasnt too bad i think
yeah my hm was also pretty hard to read, pretty sure he said “cool” in response to all of my answers lmao
sounds like you gave it your best effort 👍
maybe the recruiters will be faster about getting back since ghc is done now
Yeah quiet interviewers do be like that
Yeeee thx
Hoping for the best now
Whats ghc?
grace hopper conference
Hi could I ask how long after vo it took to get update on passing to hm call?
about 7 hours
yea take my timeline with a grain of salt though, bc there was a three-day gap between my integration and bug squash lmao
hey gratz on the offer! did your strategy necessarily change for the stripe technical team screen compared to more standard leetcode problems?
Congrats on offer, how well did you do on bug squash? Had mine today not sure if they expect you to finish it or just do most of it
ah sorry for not responding earlier i left the server for a bit :") i actually didn't do the team screen (got bumped to vo and only did integration + bug squash)
but iirc from last year it's much more similar to the OA, so not very leetcode-y
i got 2 bugs but they def don't expect you to find all of them, i've heard of new grads passing with 0 bugs fixed
