Rec?

[cosmic hare]

Do you have TOG

[crimson lodge]

those are rookie numbers

[echo elm]

How long has it been for you

[crimson lodge]

only 40 days so far

good amount of ppl waiting from early-mid november

[echo elm]

Damn

[crimson lodge]

so sit tight

[indigo vale]

been 63 days for me

[echo elm]

💀

[indigo vale]

yes

[cosmic hare]

My friend had TOG got offer in 2 weeks in Dec

Maybe it’s cause of EOY + OOO

[lofty whale]

meta doesnt stackrank

[cosmic hare]

We had referrals from the same person

Not sure if that helps

[lofty whale]

yea its super weird how one specific recruiter has terrible timeline

might just be that tog is like an actual bum that does no work

[cosmic hare]

She just got back to the office today I think so surely offers will be going out this week

Could be the case 4/4

But I think some others with 4/4 didn’t hear back yet

[lofty whale]

defo not

[indigo vale]

yes

[lofty whale]

it is weird tho bc isnt it just hiring committee?

recruiter doesnt even play a part?

mf j communicates back what the hiring committee said

basically just a fucking bum

💀

how do ppl like this avoid layoffs

[cosmic hare]

I think rec have to update the portal and stuff

But if someone referred u their portal updates first from what I’ve seen

[lofty whale]

yea

i hate that companies layoff rng tho

instead of worst perf

at lesat ik meta did rng layoffs in 2022

instead of laying off the worst perf

for swe

[cosmic hare]

Did u guys get 4/4 optimal?

[lofty whale]

that stuff is kind of stupid to me

[lofty whale]

i got 5/4, offer in 2.5 week, had DS

[cosmic hare]

Wtf 5/4?

[lofty whale]

yea i solved it fast so bro j gave me another one

[cosmic hare]

Everyone ik that had offers was 2-3 weeks

[lofty whale]

i think i got SH in that round lol

[cosmic hare]

Weird I did my first interview and he said it was optimal for both and we finished 20mins early

No additional q or anything

[lofty whale]

i finished my round1 as well with time to spare

rng and interviewer dependent ig

[cosmic hare]

Just talked about meta raybands and whatsapp

Tbf I interviewed all 3 Friday

[lofty whale]

i only know one other person who got asked 3 in one round afaik

dont think its common

[cosmic hare]

Also they nerfed the NG salary so bad wtf

[lofty whale]

ye 💀

[cosmic hare]

From a couple years ago the bonus is like almost 100k less lol

For rsu

[lofty whale]

ideal scenario is to intern -> RO to the same team -> e4 in 6mo-1yr max

[cosmic hare]

Yea

[lofty whale]

e4 tc is good af

[cosmic hare]

Joining as e4 seems to be better now

[lofty whale]

e4 is also trenches tho

[cosmic hare]

Than promoting to e4 I think

[lofty whale]

it seems so hard

bar is prob on the moon

[cosmic hare]

They’re hiring so many NG

Surely the bar is low for NG

[lofty whale]

yea

[cosmic hare]

[lofty whale]

100%

thats how i got it 💀

[cosmic hare]

Nah idts if u did 5/4 optimal that’s not low bar

[lofty whale]

tbf only one untagged, its genuinely just a rng game

[cosmic hare]

Stocks also around ath

15% pip goes crazy

[lofty whale]

i was thinking ab this but i think layoffs will be safe

unless market crash, but w trump i think itll be strong for at least a year

imo

[cosmic hare]

If I get it I’m locking in

[lofty whale]

i thought its based on market

[cosmic hare]

Yeah

[lofty whale]

yea it is rng tho which is crazy

ye 💀

[cosmic hare]

If ur on a core infra team

Prob no layoff just way more work

[lofty whale]

but isnt NG hc just 1k

that doesnt seem like a lot lot

like its a lot, but not crazy zon levels of hiring

[cosmic hare]

Idk my friend works there rn and his team is understaffed for budget supposedly

So surely there is some type of buffer

[lofty whale]

this server is also top 5% of cs majors

fwiw

[cosmic hare]

Amazon also interviewed like everyone

[lofty whale]

so its possible its still just 1k

also arent layoffs not targetted towards entry level/juniors

[cosmic hare]

3 months is crazy

[primal pond]

bro I've been interviewing from 2.5 months lol

Holidays

ba

[thick junco]

been waiting since 11/13

54 days

we are in this together ❤️‍🩹

[alpine pebble]

They might be doing it this year based on interview performance

[pale crypt]

Is there a way to report tog?

[lofty whale]

thats to be expected though in this market

but i disagree

idt theyre doing that either

but a lot of companies are

[fallow adder]

@lofty whale who was your recruiter?

[ember quest]

Anyone who gave an interview in late November to December and is waiting for the result with the recruiter BA?

[primal pond]

everyone

[ember quest]

anyone waited more than 1 month and still got reject?

[alpine pebble]

Yes a lot of people

[ember quest]

guess i'm cooked then
