!process reading on blind from ex zon hm that Amazon intern has TM after OA

[violet brook]

whats blind

[cedar frost]

i fucking called it

yall mfs doubted me

[reef thorn]

what's TM

[violet brook]

team matching

[signal wagon]

Like linkedin on steroids and anonymous

[verbal flame]

Praying for a good team that doesn’t abuse me

[violet brook]

so like they team match based on what, OA scores and resume

[cedar frost]

reddit for employed old people

[signal wagon]

It lowk makes sense cuz yea my wntire resume is ml/ai so maybe not many teams need me since its more swe focused

[violet brook]

if thats the case why tf are people with 0/15 on OA getting through that process

[signal wagon]

Ig i gotta do a classic swe project asap if i wanna pass TM anytime soon

[cedar frost]

team match

[verbal flame]

Do they look at the most recent resume you upload on the Amazon portal?

[violet brook]

do you not have any SWE projects?

[signal wagon]

Yes

[cedar frost]

oh shoot whats good bro

[verbal flame]

Like if you change your resume do they look at the new one?

[signal wagon]

I do

But my resumes “wow” projects r more ML heavy

[reef thorn]

what's up mate

[cedar frost]

did u end up getting msft?

[signal wagon]

Yes

[verbal flame]

My interviewer worked on like networking team and I’ve never touched that shit

[violet brook]

p much same for me, got 3 SWE projs and 3 deep learning ones

[signal wagon]

Yep

[verbal flame]

Bet

[signal wagon]

Im gonna build a rate limiter and api gateway once im done w exams this week

[verbal flame]

Time to update my resume

[cedar frost]

bros gonna build an api gateway

[reef thorn]

I wish wbu?

[cedar frost]

i did

[signal wagon]

Its the one project

[cedar frost]

but i didnt take

[signal wagon]

Api gatwaat for the rate limiter

[cedar frost]

linkedin

[reef thorn]

W, what did u take

[cedar frost]

but then i negged li for meta

😭

[reef thorn]

grats brother, u deserve it

[cedar frost]

sketchy ro rate

[signal wagon]

Meta orz

[cedar frost]

too much uncertainty

[signal wagon]

Guys can someone build me a rate likiter project for my res while im studying for finals

Super straight forward

Like same as zon

[bleak fern]

I’ve said this before but due to a fault in my app, my recruiter had to email me pre OA and clarify they DO place you into a team, I was placed under the stores requisition for example

[cedar frost]

i dont like to hear ppl grinding a lot not get ro and the meta growth/grind culture aligns w me

[bleak fern]

@signal wagon

[cedar frost]

oa -> 45min tech

[bleak fern]

They literally couldn’t process my app pre oa cuz I didn’t allow them to match me to a team

On my app for some setting

[signal wagon]

Its post oa tho right not pre

[bleak fern]

Pre

[signal wagon]

Ohhh ok

[woven hawk]

Is tm not after interview?

[signal wagon]

So the fact i got oa

[bleak fern]

I got my OA after they team matched me

[signal wagon]

Im already tm??

[harsh sage]

does Google do team match after OA too?

[bleak fern]

I hear conflicting things but from my experience I assume it’s pre

[signal wagon]

After final

[cedar frost]

thanks man, did u end up getting something?

[violet brook]

makes more sense tbh, why would they send OAs if they have no use for your resume

[signal wagon]

Hmm

WHERES MY FINALLLLL

BRUHHHHHHHH

[harsh sage]

I’ve been stuck on submitted for 1 month now

[signal wagon]

i hope i didnt get tm to a super sweaty team

[cedar frost]

u probs will get an ai/ml team

which is probably good

[signal wagon]

So orz

[violet brook]

thats orz

[signal wagon]

My entire resume is deep ML

And Ai

[cedar frost]

thats basically the only thing that can explain it

my entire resume is aws/cloud

if i didnt get an aws org

then idek

[verbal flame]

The more specific your resume the harder it’s gonna be to actually match you to a team though no?

[signal wagon]

Doomed to the aws slave fields

[cedar frost]

yea they waiting to find u a nice team fs

[signal wagon]

Id assume so

[cedar frost]

theres more interesting work there but wlb is worse

[signal wagon]

But

Its generally broad

Tho

[violet brook]

@signal wagon maybe ur already tm pre OA and the post OA response time varies due to different teams handling hiring

[cedar frost]

bc ur like a core part of revenue

[foggy gust]

Interviewer location doesn’t matter for offer location even with this team matching right?

[signal wagon]

Like i have an investment tool that was used by an IB

And then a full stack dev at an ai startup

[cedar frost]

the wlb is the ft wlb

[signal wagon]

So like

Im pretty diverse

[bleak fern]

This is most likely it

lol

[cedar frost]

im sure the interns dont get worked as hard

[signal wagon]

They could put me anywhere except embedded and id thrive

[signal wagon]

Yea this was the other theory

[cedar frost]

then its fine

ppl say aws gives u better res value

[signal wagon]

God bro i j wanna get final already

[signal wagon]

Yep more general sde work

[cedar frost]

think normal amazon is more hit or miss

[signal wagon]

Wats this

[violet brook]

zons satellite program

[signal wagon]

Oh thats cool

Lit

[cedar frost]

why did bro go to spacex

fair enough

also fair enough

[signal wagon]

Man i hope i got put in some specialized tm or something that has less interviewers assigned cuz its so special and orz and thats y its taking so long 💔💔💔 🐸

[cedar frost]

elon dream employee right there

[violet brook]

[signal wagon]

I never sent details

Im not intl

Im p sure its inly for intl

Or team specific

Nah

[astral elk]

what happens if ur resume got like more than one like front end ai/ml

[violet brook]

do you mean ID verification

[signal wagon]

Ive known ppl who got thru without

[zinc yew]

what details?

[signal wagon]

Nah theres a survey

[cedar frost]

then ull find out in offer what team

[signal wagon]

And tgey ask u hella srudd

Stuff

Was that not in my app tho

[cedar frost]

wait wtf i never got this

[violet brook]

they dont ask that to everyone for sure, they dont ask anyone in Canada lmao

[signal wagon]

Exactly my point

[cedar frost]

oh wtf

[signal wagon]

I got asked all these in my application

[zinc yew]

only for ai/ml ig

[violet brook]

same

[signal wagon]

ZONNN GIMEEE FINAL AND THEN OFFER AND THEN SUNNYVALEEEEEEE

[cedar frost]

ok wtf is this shit

i applied to sde

[signal wagon]

i wanna go to sunnyvale so bad

[cedar frost]

i got fungible

i never got all this

[violet brook]

fungible is the general sdei

[cedar frost]

then what is all this

[signal wagon]

My friend is zon in sunnyvale this summer

Hes gmi

[zinc yew]

if u get matched to ai/ml

[cedar frost]

did u get this after or before survey for final

[signal wagon]

Does this mean i didnt get matched to ai/ml 💔

Maybe im just too gmi

Im on some super secret team

[violet brook]

[zinc yew]

ai/ml is pretty fast and u havent heard back yet so probably

[cedar frost]

interesting

[signal wagon]

Im so gmi that my team only has 1 interviewer and 10 hc so they take their sweet time

[zinc yew]

entire server is waiting for @signal wagon to get final invite

[violet brook]

you're like the nation's 1% thats being put into a task force to be sent on the first blue origin x Amazon spaceship to kepler B

[signal wagon]

I have a meme prepared and everything

[astral elk]

did u apply to the ai/ml role of j the intern one

[signal wagon]

Exactly

I honestly dont get it tho like yea idk i feel like ive done everything right

And like logically

Cmon

Is it really rng

Like full rng

[violet brook]

i think its just a matter of time bro, the fact theyre still replying to ur emails means that

[signal wagon]

The team match bs is prob more likley than pure rng

[signal wagon]

Ya they j replied this morn too

[violet brook]

does bro send one out like everyday 💀

[signal wagon]

Nah ive sent 3 total

1 17 days ago

[cedar frost]

ok so my friends mgr does ml stuff but he never got the ai email

what does this mean

[signal wagon]

1 13 days ago

1 like 4 days ago

[violet brook]

rng as usual. I have mostly AI/ML on my res but im pretty sure im in general SDE

[violet brook]

any differences in their responses

[signal wagon]

Yea

The third one was def typed out by a human

[violet brook]

???

[signal wagon]

They mentioned specific details ab my application

Hopefully a good sign?

[violet brook]

did they say the same thing about sending you survey soon?

[signal wagon]

Like 42 days

[vivid meadow]

who did you email and what did you say?

[signal wagon]

1/5

[atomic zealot]

This doesn’t make sense tho

I did oa dec then heard back Feb 😭

[signal wagon]

Interviewing email

The one u get when u get a final invite 💀💀💀

[mighty stump]

Same my entire resume is filled with AIML and I kind off mostly interviewed for general SDE

[signal wagon]

Yea im gonna fasho

Yes I’m assigned to a beta team for zon

[whole flax]

why do u want zon then 💀

[signal wagon]

Theyre just doing extensive background checks

Getting my government level clearance ready

[vivid meadow]

whats auta?

[violet brook]

zon university talent acq

[signal wagon]

Whats the email can u dm it to me

[zinc yew]

what the auta email? sp-sde-intern-* either ghosts me or give useless responses like asking me to check portal

[whole flax]

zon isn't good practice it's a lc medium or an easy hard at worst

nyc at hc afaik

[still hound]

that is good practice for 99% of tech companies

[whole flax]

we trying to be the 1%

[still hound]

sure but even like meta google Netflix and almost all unicorns aren’t harder

[whole flax]

as someone who got offers at all of those companies, yes, amazon was by far the easiest

[still hound]

just in terms of LC difficulty not getting an offer

[whole flax]

agree

[still hound]

they’re all just LC mediums let’s be fr

[whole flax]

the issue is that most people who are waiting on VO rn didn't apply the day it released

i applied day of and was one of the first offers, before all of the major SDE offer waves

virtual onsite

[signal wagon]

Hello!

I hope whoever receives this is doing well. I’m writing to follow up on my application for the Amazon SDE Intern position for Summer 2025. I completed my online assessment on January 5th and wanted to ask if there are any updates regarding the next steps in the process. Given it has been more than 40 days since my OA, i'm just curious as to if my application may have been lost or something haha.

I remain very excited about the opportunity to join Amazon and look forward to any information you can share. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Best regards,

wat we thinkin

stop glazing andrew

[tulip bison]

i know someone who applied dec end got offer a week ago

[signal wagon]

[whole flax]

[violet brook]

[whole flax]

if you google the acronym it's only on like

the 5th page

when i apply to jobs i select "other" for school

[zinc yew]

[whole flax]

100% on OA?

[zinc yew]

nah

[whole flax]

o-o

[zinc yew]

but ive seen ppl who got lower than me get it so

[signal wagon]

Hello!

I hope you’re doing well! I’m reaching out to follow up on my application for the Amazon SDE Intern position (Summer 2025). I completed my online assessment on January 5th, and given that it has been over 40 days, I wanted to check if there are any updates regarding the next steps in the process.

As someone with experience in full-stack development and machine learning, I’m really excited about the opportunity to bring my skills to Amazon, especially in scalable software and AI-driven applications.

I’d love to know if there’s an estimated timeline for interviews or if there’s anything else I can provide to support my application. Looking forward to your response, and I really appreciate your time!

Best regards,

[violet brook]

i know one person who got a 0 on the second OA q and got through and got offer jan 31

Ive tried to explain their process but all these outliers convince me its truly just rng

[whole flax]

💀

ye its just rng

[atomic zealot]

i think their pass is hella low

[still hound]

i heard if u have devops stuff on res its a lot faster OA -> final

[whole flax]

i had zero devops stuff and got it super fast

[zinc yew]

remember in 2024 when meta was hiring interns like crazy

[whole flax]

amazon has always hired a crapton

[signal wagon]

someone at stanford claimed double 0 on OA and getting final but that might be a little too crazy to be real

[violet brook]

ngl stanford maybe

[zinc yew]

damn rly

[still hound]

yeah sure, im just saying thats one way ive heard of getting it fast

[signal wagon]

is this good guys

[whole flax]

imma be real

yall are reading into it too much

[violet brook]

yeah definitely

[whole flax]

we dont need cs major astrology 😭

[signal wagon]

the exception is zon tho right

thats what u were gonna say

[still hound]

how is it astrology if theyre team-matching based on res

[whole flax]

mfs arranging the crystals and salts or whatever to get zon vo 😭

[still hound]

i alr got offer im just saying what i know

yall doing too much

[signal wagon]

i just send the recruiters memes

[whole flax]

"say the words scalable architecture three times around the sacred fire and zon shall be yours" ahh

[signal wagon]

does this work

[zinc yew]

if ur military, zon process is only like a week for application -> offer

[whole flax]

only one way to find out

[violet brook]

@signal wagon you know what to do buddy

bros gonna get deployed for that zon offer

[signal wagon]

looks like im now an afghanistan vet

gonna reapply under the name Private Jenkins

and black

half black half native american

[violet brook]

I put myself as bisexual on my app

doesnt seem to be working

[craggy rivet]

dude, i have no aiml on my res yet my interviewer is on the core stargate team

[whole flax]

🍌

[zinc yew]

think interviewer team is random

[signal wagon]

holy glaze

quit glazing andrew

hes just some random cscd ngmi

[craggy rivet]

i really hope so

[zinc yew]

if it was same team, it wouldn't work well for zon culture. cuz interviews would keep saying "strong hire" for ngmis to protect themselves from pip

[craggy rivet]

i dont want to get shafted by stargate

[signal wagon]

nah literally tho

[violet brook]

LMAO

[signal wagon]

gonna goon brb

[violet brook]

W strat, i respect it.

[signal wagon]

thats how much of a meme my process has become

[violet brook]

as expected of a thread started by D1 zon glazer

[signal wagon]

i have a super funny meme prepared

[violet brook]

bros yappin all this just to get deleted by Soulkks

[signal wagon]

[signal wagon]

and i sent a stock pic of someone whipping another person

"soulkks when people disobey the king"

and he said wtf and muted me for an hour

this has happened prob 3-4 times now

[violet brook]

[signal wagon]

another time iw as professing my love for abgs

bam hour long mute

[violet brook]

maybe soulkks was the hiring manager matched to u

and everytime uget on here ur VO gets delayed as soulkks watches what u type

[signal wagon]

soulkks and me would make a great team

i could send him memes to boost productivity

[tawdry oasis]
