twilit beacon Mar 11, 2025, 2:47 PM

#

Yeah more job security higher RO and great wlb and benefits

#

One of the few companies where unlimited pto is actually unlimited

distant hound Mar 11, 2025, 3:29 PM

#

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 12:15 AM

humble beacon Mar 12, 2025, 3:06 AM

#

heis brhu

#

G recruiter ghosted me

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 3:11 AM

#

should i push dropbox to fall?

#

but that’ll mean i can’t do summer 2026

humble beacon Mar 12, 2025, 3:11 AM

#

why not

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 3:15 AM

#

or i can probably do it remote with some 9 easy ish credits

#

and still try do summer

#

idek if they push tho

#

might have to see

humble beacon Mar 12, 2025, 3:17 AM

#

oh

#

intl

#

damn thats rough

#

maybe remote

#

what if you fly back n forth

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 3:17 AM

#

dropbox remote anyways

#

so can do it from my campus

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 3:18 AM

#

humble beacon what if you fly back n forth

but idk if they’ll push to fall

#

okta will defo push, but it’s not remote

#

damn yeah im lowk confused

#

hella conflicting opinions 😭

#

intl

#

yup

#

idk bout ro rate

#

for dropbox and okta

#

but ye

#

last yr coinbase

#

105 out of 160 got ro

#

idk how good or bad that is

granite kernel Mar 12, 2025, 3:24 AM

#

For sure take coinbase. Massive growth. I know a guy who interned at coin then got a ng role at Stripe following year

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 3:24 AM

#

granite kernel For sure take coinbase. Massive growth. I know a guy who interned at coin then g...

i saw the linkedin! that’s the dream 😭

#

im still soph, hopefully i clutch stripe in my last 2 after this summer

humble beacon Mar 12, 2025, 3:24 AM

#

u got it

#

stripe / db

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 3:25 AM

#

yeah that’s the problem but if i grind it out should be chill

#

hopefully

#

but everyone grinding for ro tbh so idek

#

what do you even gotta do to get ro

#

ye

#

doing masters as well

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 3:26 AM

#

distant hound doing masters as well

so still got hella time

granite kernel Mar 12, 2025, 3:26 AM

#

Wait try to get ng offer senior year and if not go for masters

#

But like fs you get something ng if you got coin

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 3:26 AM

#

i was thinking return just so it’s easier for next summer- only apply to companies better than coinbase (can focus on projects, leetcode, etc)

#

tired from the grind yr 😭

#

i applied on linkedin job posting

#

i forgot when

#

but defo later than aug

#

i fumbled citadel launch final

#

that was dream

#

citadel externship

#

their first year program ^^

#

yeee

#

helps me w resume screens a lot

#

p sure i got coinbase cos of that

#

they didn’t open applications for it

#

it’s literally so bad

#

they don’t even advertise it as much

#

i applied for launch citadel as freshman

#

recruiter reached out back to me saying he liked my resume

#

i should be in externship

#

it’s acc meant for thrive scholars, but recruiter f’d w me so i was like one of three non thrive scholars present

#

ye process was so chill 🤣 was like mostly behavioral w a lc easy lmaoo

granite kernel Mar 12, 2025, 3:31 AM

#

What was process like for coin?

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 3:31 AM

#

coin as a unicorn

#

they filter HELLA w resume screening

#

but once you in loop it’s p chill

#

what changes ur mind

#

TC?

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 3:32 AM

#

granite kernel What was process like for coin?

they don’t rlly care about complexity

#

it’s more about writing production grade code

#

i wanted nyc

#

but teams in nyc were ass

granite kernel Mar 12, 2025, 3:32 AM

#

distant hound it’s more about writing production grade code

Oh like similar to the dropbox oa?

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 3:32 AM

#

so chose sf 😢

#

ye kinda similar

#

ye like dev ops and security

#

i wasnt interested in that

#

but hopefully i bag ro and switch to nyc next summer if i don’t bag smth better

#

it’s smart, so ppl take it 😭

#

jus to be in nyc

granite kernel Mar 12, 2025, 3:34 AM

#

distant hound ye kinda similar

Alright thank you bro I will apply next year, and btw congrats on the offers and I wish you a bright future 💪

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 3:34 AM

#

problem is

#

i came in w hella low credits

#

cos im intl and did different system

#

so it might push grad date

#

🤷🏾‍♂️

#

yeah that might be move

#

i could still do 9 credits on the side

#

i could get done w easy classes

#

cos then i’d have cit, coin, drop on resume

#

should be chill

#

but ye idk

#

p confused, might have to take some time and think bout it deeply

#

ye i got offer tdy

#

i’ll probably just glaze her in case im down bad in 2026

#

🤣

#

wya this summer?

#

ah lit lit

tropic inlet Mar 12, 2025, 4:07 AM

#

?????

#

have u seen levels

#

okta progression sucks

#

from a tc perspective dropbox gaps

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 4:07 AM

#

ye ye that’s the problem w okta

tropic inlet Mar 12, 2025, 4:07 AM

#

from a wlb perspective i dont know enough

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 4:07 AM

#

the progression can’t even be considered a progression 😭

tropic inlet Mar 12, 2025, 4:08 AM

#

twilit beacon Yeah more job security higher RO and great wlb and benefits

honestly none of this matters

#

for soph intern

#

for ng id consider dropbox more

#

but not for soph intern

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 4:09 AM

#

makes sense

tropic inlet Mar 12, 2025, 4:09 AM

#

res value is the most important thing as an intern

#

if ur going for another internship next szn

twilit beacon Mar 12, 2025, 4:09 AM

#

tropic inlet honestly none of this matters

I don’t know probably

#

Dropbox use to be hella prestigious

#

Don’t know if it dropped in value

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 4:10 AM

#

does fall internship help with summer 2026 for faang/quant?

tropic inlet Mar 12, 2025, 4:10 AM

#

yeah do fall if u can

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 4:10 AM

#

cos i feel most apps close by the time you even finish or have enough time

tropic inlet Mar 12, 2025, 4:10 AM

#

coinbase wont push

#

and idt dropbox does either

#

but can try okta

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 4:10 AM

#

ye i’ll defo try Okta

#

but don’t most faang open positions in like august september

#

by that time fall internship won’t even be worth on resume? or what yall think?

tropic inlet Mar 12, 2025, 4:11 AM

#

most faang dont have fall

#

only google i think?

#

but idk if they'll open up fall

#

most or all of their fall is summer ppl pushing

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 4:12 AM

#

no im saying for summer 2026 applications for faang

#

i won’t be able to put fall internship on resume

tropic inlet Mar 12, 2025, 4:12 AM

#

oh mb

#

yeah august to october

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 4:12 AM

#

ah ye maybe i can jus have the (incoming)

tropic inlet Mar 12, 2025, 4:12 AM

#

distant hound i won’t be able to put fall internship on resume

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 4:12 AM

#

bet bet

tropic inlet Mar 12, 2025, 4:12 AM

#

the name is what matters honestly

distant hound Mar 12, 2025, 4:13 AM

#

tropic inlet Mar 12, 2025, 4:13 AM

#
