calm leaf
dusty cedar
calm leaf
#

if google gave me a month earlier I would renege

dusty cedar
calm leaf
#

but google is too fucking late

#

their issue for interviewing people so late

#

they losing on candidates

dusty cedar
#

ah that's unfortunate, hopefully they get you a process next year

calm leaf
#

their fault

dusty cedar
calm leaf
#

I got matched with 2 teams this year

dusty cedar
#

everyone ik who gets it reneges their other offers

calm leaf
#

so imma try to find their contacts

calm leaf
#

in case I wanna go back

#

either way im in the housing application process rn

dusty cedar
#

yeah perhaps its recruiter dependent

calm leaf
#

so yea I dont wanna renege

#

cause if I reject google im not reneging anyone

dusty cedar
#

that's fair

calm leaf
#

tensions all clear

#

and I think I can get proceess again next year

#

but either way im not aiming for google next year

dusty cedar
#

what google teams did you get a match for

dusty cedar
calm leaf
#

big query and AR/VR

calm leaf
ruby kraken
#

calm leaf
#

ng

dusty cedar
ruby kraken
calm leaf
#

plus meta and google name prestige is the same

white mortar
#

jhaoz so orz bob

calm leaf
#

white mortar
#

how to get c1 rp

dusty cedar
calm leaf
dusty cedar
#

white mortar
#

different yellow pfp dude

calm leaf
#

bruh

#

bro if only google interviewed me earlier man

#

I would've taken them

junior sky
#

Databricks' new grad and upper level salary are insane

calm leaf
#

yep I wanna db bad

#

hope I can secure an interview with them next year

dusty cedar
#

databricks does more than google NG its so nice

calm leaf
#

stripe or db

#

would be sick

junior sky
dusty cedar
#

google new grad is 245k in the bay, i think databricks is 275 or 280

junior sky
#

they all are unicorn right

white mortar
dusty cedar
white mortar
#

Isn’t meta better than DB

dusty cedar
#

google also > stripe

junior sky
#

way mroe than meta

dusty cedar
calm leaf
white mortar
#

DB has no aura

dusty cedar
#

DB is aura

calm leaf
dusty cedar
#

stripe is 👎

calm leaf
#

nah I know tons that took db over google

dusty cedar
calm leaf
#

I might do the samee

calm leaf
#

what abt plaid

#

or anthropic

white mortar
calm leaf
dusty cedar
#

anthropic is 🐐

calm leaf
#

a lot

#

i wish I got db process

#

but either way meta should carry me

#

c1 + meta should carry me for tech interview

#

and then I got quant stuff before too so I should be fine for quant

dusty cedar
#

db ng tc > google L3 tc > meta L3 tc (but E4 is a bit higher) > stripe

#

@calm leaf

junior sky
#

yeh

calm leaf
#

yea the good thing about meta is that I can rush to e4

dusty cedar
#

not too big of a difference

calm leaf
#

hmm

junior sky
#

yeh u can rush to mid/junior in 1 year

calm leaf
#

I heard getting to e5 is easier

#

in meta

#

might do that

junior sky
#

and bamm u have 280k/300k after 1 year

calm leaf
#

and then switch out

junior sky
#

yup

dusty cedar
#

the most ideal big tech situation is negotiating google with a quant offer

calm leaf
#

either way I think the difference betweeen meta and google isnt that big (but im lowkey still coping a bit)

dusty cedar
#

285k TC as an L3 if you can negotiate with a quant offer

ruby kraken
#

@calm leaf btw i think u have mathworks offer, was that a return offer?

calm leaf
ruby kraken
#

oh

calm leaf
#

they rejected me after phone this year cause I slept thru half of it

#

my bad for putting it at 8am

#

💀

dusty cedar
#

mathworks is such a weird company

stuck sphinx
#

@calm leaf what kinda quant companies u looking into?

#

Also u tryna do quant dev?

ruby kraken
stuck sphinx
#

Lowkey I'm tryna do the same haha im in the same pos as u

#

Meta over goog baby meta > google in my opinion lol

dusty cedar
#

i think the other way around

calm leaf
junior sky
calm leaf
dusty cedar
#

Google NG tc is 30k higher but you do spend about 6 more months as an L3

stuck sphinx
#

Lol Im just a meta stan

calm leaf
#

yea it was hella hard for me to send that email to google

#

but I think I had to make that choice

stuck sphinx
#

Yeh same man

calm leaf
#

you rejected goog too?

stuck sphinx
#

I tried to push it to fall but they wouldn't let me

calm leaf
#

yea fair

dusty cedar
#

💔

stuck sphinx
#

Also didn't want to renege

dusty cedar
#

Dang man

junior sky
white mortar
#

its hard to get matched to a team

#

for fall

stuck sphinx
#

^^

calm leaf
#

but also one reason is that my parents are visiting me over summer and they booked tickets to the bay area alr and stuff

#

💀

stuck sphinx
#

Cause like apparently goog has a lot of internship stuff for summer and can't really prepare u for the fall so it might be cooked

dusty cedar
#

U should be fine you’ll get the loop NG

calm leaf
calm leaf
#

its just this year its kinda hard for me to do so

#

I think

stuck sphinx

calm leaf
#

hence distributed or low level stuff

dusty cedar
#

😂

calm leaf
#

honestly, if i get a cracked startup

#

stuck sphinx
#

Lowkey I'm tryna make my own startup frfr

calm leaf
#

it sounds like something I could do for 4 years before I burn out

stuck sphinx
#

lolol

dusty cedar
#

Startup makes you a better dev because ur more exposed to open source compared to tech

calm leaf
#

cause thats also smth Im considering

dusty cedar
calm leaf
#

less stable ofc, but learn a lot more

dusty cedar
#

I got a few coming up too

calm leaf
#

I see

#

is it worth taking over

#

faang?

dusty cedar
#

No

#

Well

calm leaf
#

dusty cedar
#

Not mine specifically

calm leaf

junior sky
calm leaf
#

white mortar
calm leaf
white mortar
#

oh damn

#

do they take longer to promote then?

stuck sphinx
#

I think it's mostly cause of Pre-IPO benefits and private stock

calm leaf
#

I mistyped smth and bam lost the oa full score

white mortar
#

stuck sphinx
#

Pre-IPo + top unicorn baby

calm leaf
junior sky
#

a lil higher

calm leaf
#

especially with all the LLM shit going on

#

people need a good database

#

db / snowflake all pretty good with that

I used a bunch of snowfalke shit for my c1 internship

junior sky
calm leaf
#

calm leaf
#

#

im usually much slower at coding tho

junior sky
calm leaf
#

espcially if its like cpp

junior sky
#

calm leaf
#

imo
