digital remnant

digital remnant

thin iris
Did you get a phone call or was it just an email for the offer?
I had my final on Tuesday and asked for it expedited so hopefully will hear soon
odd jacinth
Did you get a phone call or was it just an email for the offer?
i emailed yesterday to expedite and recruiter responded in 10 min with an email saying i got the offer
and i was like wait can we still call
and he called me a bit after LMAO
thin iris
Thats actually really funny
abstract rampart
if you dont mind me asking what offer did you hgave before meta
thin iris
I asked yesterday for it to be expedited and they said it will take a week
digital remnant
I asked yesterday for it to be expedited and they said it will take a week
Rather later than earlier
Earlier. Is usually rej
thin iris
Really now
digital remnant
Really now
That’s what people were saying on the server a few days back
thin iris
Yeah a week looks like a good sign
green iris
can u give example for variation? it doesnt have to be the same q ofc, like instead of biggest, smallest?
odd jacinth
if you dont mind me asking what offer did you hgave before meta
i signed c1 so gotta renege that 💀
thin iris
Because that seems to be timeline for people who expedited an offer
odd jacinth
any tips for behavioral?
yeah focus on questions revolving ambiguity. also there was this question where i deadass gave a bad answer and said "i definitely could've handled that situation better"
maybe limit to only doing that for 1 question
but yeah you're an intern, making a mistake isn't terrible
odd jacinth
Renege before monday
LMAO we'll see
thin iris
Congrats on the offer though
odd jacinth

2 questions in 40 mins sounds tough
odd jacinth

lowkey think i got shafted
i've seen a lot of people getting 160k rsus but i only got 126k
green iris
bachelors/masters diff maybe?
gusty turret
Oh I thought 125K RSU was standard lol
odd jacinth

gusty turret
Maybe something to do with earnings coming out
odd jacinth

i've seen a lot of people getting 160k rsus but i only got 126k
i only got 126 too and she said it's non negotiable
i sent her the databricks offer too and she was like nah we can't match even base or signing bonus

even ppl with competing nyc offers couldn’t get it
yeah i dangled ramp in front of them

I'm going to beg for meta NYC
i also did this and recruiter started telling me how meta fired her and when she got rehired she couldn't get her location of choice...

LOL no way
main zinc
right
it was insane
on the other hand i declined databricks last night saying mtv is too far to commute and recruiter was like will u change ur decision if I get u SF, and i was like wtf SF wasn't even open for new grad and she was nah i could make exception
meta just has such an ego this yr
it's acc so sad
they won't even inc signing bonus by 10k
also recruiter telling me how meta fired her 2 yrs ago on the call is crazy.
valid iron
but 2 questions had tricky variations
as follow ups or tc/sc wise?
main zinc
like way to motivate me to sign it

18k signing + 137 base + 126 RSU over 4 yrs
and like relo
tbh shafting but it's meta so i'll take it
yeah
yeah exactly
that's why im taking it

that's the plan
just praying for no layoffs cz im intl

You’re taking Meta over DB?
gusty turret
Yo fr meta > Databricks?
ebon tartan
LFGGGGG 🐐 🐐 🐐
main zinc
You’re taking Meta over DB?
yeah i declined DB last night😭
also DB is slower to promote
also initially they offered mountain view and no free shuttle so DB wasn't realistic for me anyways, but once they offered SF i got a lil confused
but still meta has faster promos
gray furnace
you guys are getting callbacks ????? Where is my resume trashed!!!
main zinc
im just scared ab mass layoffs bc they're hiring 1000 bloody new grads
main zinc
you guys are getting callbacks ????? Where is my resume trashed!!!
i had a strong referral for db and a school recruiter reach out for meta
cosmic parrot
Promo thing is true meta is crazy fast
hard wind
18k signing + 137 base + 126 RSU over 4 yrs

issok
ebon tartan

imma be real if you are selling your stock immediately after it vests you are probably doing it wrong
especially bc you are gonna be paying cap gains rather than long term cap gains

18k signing + 137 base + 126 RSU over 4 yrs
Is this for the bay?
main zinc
yeah hahaha
main zinc
Is this for the bay?
yes menlo
ebon tartan
yes but stripe is somewhat of an exception since they have liquidity events and let you keep vested equity even before ipo if you leave
its not great
but its better than nothing
cosmic parrot
Meta is 187 no negotiation
main zinc
meta used to negotiate but not anymore

it's a bigger tech hub in general too

The interviewer had to drop a hint
snow acorn
No, still have a technical round and behavioral round to give
snow acorn
If you fixed it it should be okay
I hope so
But they're giving interviews to so many people, I think if you solved all the questions optimally with perfect dry run, only then you get the offer
fast hawk
Yeah we might be cooked
proven trail
Do we just memorize solutions at this point
No way u can talk about solution and then code in 15 minutes
That’s actually insane

How much time do you spend explaining your solution before you start typing?
Assuming you have 15 minutes total per question

the followups are more like if theres a sol in o(1) memory and you have it in o(n)

Kinda
gusty turret
you may not get time to implement optimal then ngl

Lwk all my techs finished early
Within 30 mins
Last 10 mins
Was just bs
It’s not that hard
Hopefully my 3rd tech isn’t bad as well
