[plucky ocean]

is this the recruiter phone?

or technical/behav

[frank garden]

pog

[calm kelp]

^^^ recruiter phone or after

acc gonna scream if i find out they’re still giving out recruiter phones

[paper bobcat]

sorry to your roommates / neighbors in advance

but it's recruiter phone

[calm kelp]

im acc so confused i did mine like almost a month ago now and they said they’ll get back to me in 2 weeks once theyre done with everybody at the recruiter phone stage

and they’re still giving out more phones 😭

congrats on phone but just know this is what’s ahead of u LOL

[paper bobcat]

gg

i've never even gotten the riot OA in any past recruitment cycle so i'm glad to have even made it this far lmfao

[plucky ocean]

they said this week or next week for me lmfao

it was supposed to be last week initially

[paper bobcat]

how was the phone though is it just typical behavioral, why riot, etc.

[plucky ocean]

barely even that just like

asking ur interests

like waht games u wanna work on

and if ur familiar with them

[paper bobcat]

oh that's chill then

i'll play a few games of league as prep then

[plucky ocean]

maybe this means hc is looking good tho

[calm kelp]

yeah same

[calm kelp]

either that or people have just been doing really bad at matching with teams

[plucky ocean]

😭

apparently getting team matched is usually pretty likely tho

did u get an email saying ur next email from them would be confirmation of next steps?

[calm kelp]

LMFAO i’ve been randomly starting to play league again since i did my interview bc it acc got me hyped about maybe working there and i keep saying im playing league to prep

[plucky ocean]

o how do u know

[calm kelp]

this was another issue she told me league teams hadn’t submitted availability yet so i was only being considered for val atm

[plucky ocean]

i thought val usually had the most hc

[paper bobcat]

ik if i start playing i'm falling into the same trap

[plucky ocean]

icic

what abt tft

[calm kelp]

tft falls under league

i think

[versed tiger]

GASP

[plucky ocean]

i out tft first lol

[calm kelp]

bc she just referred to league and val even tho we were talking about tft

[versed tiger]

i love riot games

[paper bobcat]

so you say what teams you work on and for the rest of rounds (if you move on) you're specifically interviewing for the team?

[plucky ocean]

maybe this is bc of the layoffs

[calm kelp]

yeah i think so

but she said u can also switch later if other teams are interested

like she said i’ll be put into val matching for now but if league teams come up later i can be moved

[prisma fox]

What did they even ask in phone interview?

[calm kelp]

idk just simple behavioral stuff ab ur past exp

[versed tiger]

why u are interested in riot, blah blah blah

[prisma fox]

I see, You have to rank teams it seems?

[calm kelp]

yeah

[arctic helm]

yeah

[versed tiger]

ye

[calm kelp]

they ask which games u have exp with and rank them

[arctic helm]

only 3 options, i think before there was project l

[calm kelp]

i wanna do project L

that’s the fighting game right

[arctic helm]

she also told me sometime this week or next week lol, seems like they were finalizing some stuff

[plucky ocean]

@calm kelp did u get smth like this too, curious if they sent to everyone

[arctic helm]

i wonder if it will be in order of phones tho

[plucky ocean]

the way its worded makes it seem like a good sign but idk

[versed tiger]

street fighter one

?

[calm kelp]

no

when’d that get sent

[calm kelp]

yea i think so

[arctic helm]

this is for

[plucky ocean]

oct 21

[arctic helm]

early phones

[versed tiger]

litttt

[arctic helm]

i think

[plucky ocean]

ok it prob means nothing then 💀

could still end up w no match

[arctic helm]

is project march guaranteed?

[arctic helm]

ig not 😭😭

[calm kelp]

oh wait LOL nvm i got the same

[plucky ocean]

idts

[calm kelp]

but i emailed her asking same day

so i thought she sent to just me

[arctic helm]

is technical with same team as well? like all 3 rounds ?

[versed tiger]

team matching is always in the beginning

[plucky ocean]

dyk what the likelihood is of getting matched usually

[versed tiger]

You interview with people under the same game, but not specific team until last round

[arctic helm]

gotch

ig it’s good that team matching comes first

otherwise u do 2 rounds just to get nothing

[versed tiger]

im not sure percentage wise, but usually heard pretty high chances

[plucky ocean]

okok nice

were u an intern there this summer

i remember u got offer last yr

[versed tiger]

no i ended up taking something else but i still love riot

:c

[arctic helm]

did u get offer ?

[plucky ocean]

icic

[versed tiger]

for this summer, not next

[arctic helm]

damn, goated

[versed tiger]

no

[arctic helm]

yes

[plucky ocean]

i asked them about the mmo 💀

they said no r&d projects for intern

[calm kelp]

process seems weirdly easy if u get matched

[versed tiger]

yooooo mmo wouldve been so sick

[plucky ocean]

fr

[arctic helm]

ppl get cut easily on behavioural i heard

[plucky ocean]

recruiter said they have an internal board though

[versed tiger]

^

[plucky ocean]

so u can end up on an mmo team later on

[calm kelp]

ah makes sense

[arctic helm]

like each team only has one spot, so its hard stack rank

[calm kelp]

considering they hire mainly league players that’s needed

[versed tiger]

LMAOO

[arctic helm]

to my knowledge, ramen can confirm

[plucky ocean]

i imagine ppl who dont play their games usually get cut

or just games in general

[versed tiger]

this is true

games themselves have multiple interns tho ofcourse

[plucky ocean]

wait this seems hard asf then

unless teams dont interview that many

[arctic helm]

they have like no spots LOL

i think their cohort last year was like 30?

[versed tiger]

you only get routed to specific team last round

[plucky ocean]

ahh icic

[plucky ocean]

last year was rlly bad i heard

apparently hc is usually much better

[arctic helm]

MH mentioned more this year tho, like iirc she said 70ish in phone

[plucky ocean]

i hope for this year

[versed tiger]

u got this goats

[arctic helm]

i just fucked my cockroach final

so

[plucky ocean]

did she say that early on?

[arctic helm]

we move i guess

[plucky ocean]

or was this a recent phone

[calm kelp]

didn’t they like just lay off

[arctic helm]

recent phone, took last week

[plucky ocean]

they laid off 30 ppl on league

[arctic helm]

fuck

[plucky ocean]

it wasnt anything crazy

[arctic helm]

i’m cooked

what was the quote

[plucky ocean]

30 ppl is like .1% bro

[versed tiger]

[calm kelp]

ah okay

[versed tiger]

oke

[plucky ocean]

[grave bone]

ye

[arctic helm]

[calm kelp]

[arctic helm]

wait that’s nuts

[plucky ocean]

[arctic helm]

hope league is high

[plucky ocean]

tft save me

[arctic helm]

that’s what i did LOL

[plucky ocean]

im glad i chose tft bc no one prob puts that as #1 lmao

[arctic helm]

what if they only have like 3 spots tho

1 spot

just u

[plucky ocean]

not much better it seems on thebother teams anyways

cooked regardless

💀

[calm kelp]

it put it as num 2!

[arctic helm]

i feel like it’s very hard to get matched w second regardless

[calm kelp]

fair

[arctic helm]

like why would they take u if they have a million other ppl who put it first

unless ur resume is like unbelievably strong

but then they would just place u in first

[calm kelp]

yeah idk my resume is decent but prolly not that crazy

i dont have any game dev which def hurts

[arctic helm]

could be wrong i’m just pulling shit out my ass

[arctic helm]

bro neither do i

[plucky ocean]

if i dont get team matched with 4 prev internships and a referral imma be so annoyed 💀

[arctic helm]

i guarantee in resume gapped by everyone here

im*

[plucky ocean]

ig most ppl prob have hella interships before tho

[calm kelp]

i have 3 big tech

[arctic helm]

i have 0 LOL

[plucky ocean]

we’re cooked

wtf

[arctic helm]

MH said she liked my responses 🙂

that’s all i got going

[calm kelp]

i’m scared about the no game dev thing tho

[plucky ocean]

[arctic helm]

yeah LOL

[plucky ocean]

i didnt even know they read those

whatd u say in urs

[arctic helm]

dm me

[versed tiger]

[arctic helm]

[versed tiger]

[calm kelp]

oh okay sick

[plucky ocean]

[arctic helm]

[plucky ocean]

[arctic helm]

IDK

[plucky ocean]

ah

[arctic helm]

IM JUST SPECULATING

[plucky ocean]

[plucky ocean]

[versed tiger]

i think once ur past the game match, ur chilling tbh

[arctic helm]

2 years ago, and they returned last

[plucky ocean]

ah 2022 was pretty high headcount i think

[calm kelp]
