austere vale
#

200+

opal reef
#

wait did you get any OAs then?

#

just want a good rest and focus on my own life. PepeHands

austere vale
#

I did give OAs

#

And I actually passed all testcases in all the OAs

opal reef
#

what company? like Amazon?

austere vale
#

Amazon, Mathworks, Snowflake, Cisco

opal reef
#

why is the title of this page "apply or die"

#

snowflake and cisco gives OA to everyone

austere vale
#

In have not really heard people get Cisco OA?

opal reef
#

really?

austere vale
#

Yep, if you go ahead and search on the channel people have confirmed that not everyone has a Cisco OA

opal reef
#

cuz I applied for cisco like months ago and get it like next day

austere vale
#

I got the OA the next day as well

opal reef
#

and all my friends who applied also get it

#

because it's automatic

austere vale
#

Oh is it?

opal reef
#

yeah

opal reef
#

lol it's fine!

austere vale
#

Yep yep

opal reef
#

when did you finish amazon oa

#

i finished mine on 12.30 and finished VO last week. so it's like more than a month

austere vale
#

I finished the OA in December. Recruiter reached out a few days ago for a newer position I applied to, asked me to complete the OA. I told her I have not yet received an OA however, I had completed one in December. She then sent a rejection email to me 🙂

opal reef
#

wait wtf

austere vale
#

Yeah

opal reef
#

i had the similar situation.

#

i finished the OA and the recruiter reached out and asked me a few intake questions also asked for OA

austere vale
#

Yes same!

opal reef
#

i told him I already did

#

did you tell her that you finished the on you got in december

austere vale
#

Yep

opal reef
#

im so sorry bro

austere vale
#

I passed all the testcases on my OA as well

opal reef
#

i think it's the workstyle questions

austere vale
#

I actually very carefully reviewed the workstyle questions to be honest

opal reef
#

they are pretty tricky and counterintuitive

#

what

austere vale
#

I mean, I don't really think that it's that?

#

I mean it could be

#

idk

opal reef
#

i feel like that's the only possibility

austere vale
#

😭

#

I don't think I am getting an intern this sem. It's all just quite disheartnening.

#

Could you review my resume though

#

I can dm it to you

austere vale

Crazy

cedar creek
#

is your past internship in the us?

# cedar creek americans have it way easier

You’re right I was thinking mathematically, but even if your 1400 apps translates to 300 real apps (allows sponsorship) they would more than likely go with candidates who don’t require it. So yeah that sucks man all I can see is keep going you’ll get there I know it.
