[dawn grove]

Within one month is insane

[broken spear]

the first interview was pretty chill 1hr half behavioral/half technical. the superday was 2 1hr technicals and 1hr behavioral

[dawn grove]

Congrats

Internship exp ?

[broken spear]

i have three internships 2 at jp morgan as data science intern and 1 at JPL NASA as a ML intern

[broken spear]

yep! they move really fast!

[faint canyon]

@broken spear congrats r u taking it?

[broken spear]

i had my recruiter call dec 9th i forgot to add and then the first interview was dec 11th

[broken spear]

as of right now, definitely! the team is rlly nice and exciting and the pay is definitely good lol

[faint canyon]

@broken spear so exciting!!! does the pay beat J.P. Morgan?

[broken spear]

yep by 90k

[faint canyon]

holy shit does oracle pay > 200k now?

[quaint heart]

woah you only got 2 rounds, mine will be 3 rounds

is it medium lc for coding, and do they ask other technical questions?

[broken spear]

its around 200k in seattle jp is 105k in dallas

[broken spear]

are you new grad? bc im pretty sure its the same process

[quaint heart]

yeah but my rec (DN) says its 3 rounds

wait my bad misread that

[broken spear]

does the 3 rounds include the recruiter screen?

[dawn grove]

Did the recruiter reach out to you after you applied?

[broken spear]

wait which team are you in the interview process for?

[quaint heart]

no i’m just stupid i think OP meant 2 1hr techs & 1 1hr bq

[dawn grove]

I’m wondering if it’s worth cold emailing any oracle recruiters

[broken spear]

i dont think itll hurt! alot of them are active on linkedin

[quaint heart]

OCI seattle, I got rejected for the same role but for a different location, i hope i make headcount soon

[broken spear]

oh yeah thats the superday

[broken spear]

wait so youve completed the interview process?

[quaint heart]

my final is 15th jan bc thats the latest they can do for me

[quaint heart]

no i just got into final, did my tech this week

[broken spear]

ohh which location?

[quaint heart]

Burlington MA

[broken spear]

oh so their OCI team rejected you there? for what reason? they were just full? and so did they just move your application to seattle?

[quaint heart]

yeah i thought i was trippin because they were gonna reject me after i just got the final confirmation

[dawn grove]

Did you happen to ask about headcount at all lol

[quaint heart]

i have no idea they just said HM won’t move on with you

[quaint heart]

no because i thought recruiter won’t know about other location

i might ask about this but that seems weird

[quaint heart]

no i was already in process with seattle before burlington rejected me

[broken spear]

ohhh i see

[broken spear]

each interview was a leetcode question. for the first one, it was kinda a task scheduler class question + followup questions

[dawn grove]

Ood?

[broken spear]

yep exactly

[dawn grove]

Do you know if they were tagged?

[broken spear]

the second one, the interviewer was 15 mins late so he was supposed to ask me a rlly hard tree question but he just asked me a linked list question

[quaint heart]

did you use java

[dawn grove]

Lmao

[broken spear]

he was super chill lol

[dawn grove]

He told you he was supposed to give you a hard? 😭

[quaint heart]

yeap the inteviewers are random so they might give u hard or easy lol

mine gave me lru cache for screen

[dawn grove]

Is the behavioral just the standard give me a time when?

[broken spear]

no he showed me the question and i was like uhhhh this looks rlly bad in my head but he was like i came late so we dont have any time for this question bc this is what i wouldve given you so he gave me this other one which was based on a linked list, return the linked list with only the odd numbers so basically remove the even numbers from the linked list

so i call it a blessing in disguise lol

[dawn grove]

God was on your side

[dawn grove]

This is phone? Or tech

[quaint heart]

1st tech

[broken spear]

WHAT mine gave me implement a binary search on an unsorted list....

they can rlly give you anything

[quaint heart]

i think god also came in clutch for me cus the guy looked like he had to solve some tickets but he needed to interview me

[dawn grove]

Binary search on unsorted?

[quaint heart]

yeah oracle interviewers are random

[broken spear]

yeah i literally used the sort function and then did the binary search and thatr was it lol

[dawn grove]

[broken spear]

so they give a behavioral question based on each OCI value and ask you a tell me about a time....

[quaint heart]

for bq did you prep your questions with oci values and the prep packet?

[broken spear]

the behavioral was great they were hoenstly so nice

i prepped by having an example that corresponded with each value and that helped me alot

[quaint heart]

okay this is so helpful i hope i have the same luck again

[broken spear]

after your superday all your interviewers have a meeting w the recruiter and discuss and then mine got back to me today and i had my superday tuesday afternoon

[dawn grove]

Can I get your recruiter initials @quaint heart

And urs too @broken spear

[quaint heart]

what’s your tc base, its varies so i check again

DN

[dawn grove]

Oh same one?

Interesting

[broken spear]

120k base, 20k signing, 10k relocation, 175k/4yrs stock, you can also possibly get performance bonus too

this is in seattle which is good (no income tax state)

[quaint heart]

that’s amazing

[broken spear]

yep! i know like this is so good

i also think they were trying to hurry up with me bc they have set superdays

so the closest one for me was the 17th

but it was 100% worth it cause they dont have alot of spots in general for all these roles

[quaint heart]

yeah i was gonna do that but i chickened out bc it was gonna be too fast

[broken spear]

ohhh nahhh never chicken out!!! lol

[quaint heart]

yeah the sooner the better, i only did this bc rec said she’s pretty sure hc won’t get reached

right haha i shouldnt have but i applied in august i thought i got ghosted

[broken spear]

oh i see but still its lowkey a relief going into the new year

[dawn grove]

you applied in august!?

LMAO

wtf...

[broken spear]

yeah i heard most ppl hear back after 6-8 months

[quaint heart]

yeah as soon as it came out and it kept updated on linkedin, and i was still “under considerstion”

[dawn grove]

that is insane

maybe im not cooked

[broken spear]

yeah i was just super lucky to have gone to a conference and met a recruiter there and applied nov 20 through the conference and heard back a week and a half later

[quaint heart]

right like its meant to be

[dawn grove]

which conference was this?

[broken spear]

afrotech

[dawn grove]

yeah conferences might be the play

[quaint heart]

now u can celebrate the holidays, meanwhile i’m on tiptoes loll

[dawn grove]

great timing

[broken spear]

honestly with how the job market is.... its the way to go

[broken spear]

haha ill be hoping for you to get it!!

[quaint heart]

did you team match before final? or its random interviewers within oci

[quaint heart]

thanks for your blessing!!

[broken spear]

yeah you are alr matched to a team, OCI and the interviewers are ppl within OCI

[dawn grove]

are the interviews on coderpad?

and then dryrun?

[broken spear]

hackerrank

and they have test cases for you

[quaint heart]

some might ask to run, some might not, some has tests cases, some wants you to write test cases

be prepared for like anything

[broken spear]

they want you to walk through how youre going to approach the problem, check in with them to make sure youre on the right way, then as youre coding thnking out loud, and then after code runs and is corrct, you give like time + space complexity

[dawn grove]

👍

[broken spear]

if not correct, debug, walk through your code with the example case and youll be gucci

[quaint heart]

i think nc150 and top 50 tags might be enough for final prep

[broken spear]

yeah fsss

i would say do some oop qs and tree/graphs/queues/stacks qs

[solid knoll]

Hi May I ask u BS or MS? I heard Oracle give bs ic1 Ms ic2. The tc are the same?

[lean flower]

24 more spots left in seatte

[rocky tundra]

did recruiter mention this

[lean flower]

yea 24 in seattle and some nashville

[rocky tundra]

plese check dm

[hollow oasis]

Did they release offer letter or just verbal?

And when is the start date

[quaint heart]

@lean flower who’s your rc, she told me they will likely still be spots in jan for seattle

[quaint heart]

there’s 2 start dates: june or july

[hollow oasis]

What, are you still studying?

[quaint heart]

yeah

its new grad role lol

[lean flower]

PG

i know DN is a big one

they are recruiting from the southeast a lot now

[quaint heart]

didn’t you get offer earlier, is 24 numbers from november

[lean flower]

i got the offer earlier. i talked to the recruiter yesterday

i was trying to switch to bay area

[quaint heart]

yeah that makes sense, cus rec seems pretty chill abt headcount

didn’t know they have oci in bay area, seattle is their headquarter. but they say most of the oci work will be in nashville in a few years

[rocky tundra]

position says you can apply within 12 months if u graduate, so cant you start early if you already graduated

[quaint heart]

maybe, no harms in asking

[broken spear]

i know that they were also hiring for the seattle location now like they just started reviewing candidates so that’s prob why there is space

[quaint heart]

right, i did not hear any oracle process until the last 2 weeks

[rocky tundra]

do u think they care about top school

[hollow oasis]

Is it IC2 or IC3?

[hollow oasis]

What is the level IC2 or IC3

[quaint heart]

it says ic2 on the job description

[broken spear]

i dont think so

[broken spear]

i believe its ic1 for entry level but not sure

[broken spear]

oh nevermind its ic2

[faint canyon]

R u top school?

[broken spear]

um i go to caltech

[lean flower]

i go to uf

[hollow oasis]

What does the position show in the jobs like under consideration or?
Please share if u are interviewing what does it show or if selected what it will show?

[broken spear]

i received the verbal offer and it still says under consideration

and during the interview time it also says under consideration

[frosty egret]

IC1 for bachelors and IC2 for masters, same lvl technically but slight pay difference

[frosty egret]

also for this it takes about a week or 2, but with it being the holidays its def going to be way longer

[neon jackal]

oracle is not a slight pay difference for ic2

my TC was ~220k recurring

[tough nacelle]

Hi, if you don't mind sharing with me more like, did they dive deep the technical details about the projects or they just listen to the whole bq story and if the story makes sense then it's okay.

[broken spear]

they asked me if i had expeirence with cloud, like tell me about a time, and asked about the technical details behind one of my projects

[tough nacelle]

okk, got it! Thank you so much for your information!

[ripe ember]

Hi @broken spear did you get the written offer yet?

[broken spear]

yep! i received it on dec 24

[ripe ember]

Is your ic1 or ic2

[quaint heart]

@ripe ember how long after final did they give you a verbal offer?
