#

And they j chalked it up to luck

modest apex
stoic garnet
#

Yall dont get it

modest apex
#

Also how much they are paying u hourly

stoic garnet
#

Theres always been this energy thats like “were smarter than you and know more because were older”

#

Like its always been like that

stoic garnet
modest apex
#

What the absolute fuck

stoic garnet
#

Ye ai havent told them that part

modest apex
#

That is like quant salary bro

stoic garnet
#

I only told them 67

#

Yea ik

stoic garnet
#

They used to tell me

#

Like

#

That i was nuts for expecting anything above min wage

#

For an internship

#

And like

#

They always are so painfully low aiming

#

Like

#

My fam is so low aiming its cringe

#

My mom told me to go into IT

#

Then sae

#

I was like no im doing swe straight out

#

And she was like trying ti gaslight me into thinking i couldnt do it and that IT -> SWE is what i should do

#

And like my aunt would tell me to aim lower like LITERALLY told me to aim lower

#

Nope

#

Nope not really

#

My mom makes good money tho so like

#

She just has a surperiority complex

#

Ab stuff

#

Theyre painfully like

#

“Realistic”

#

They have no scope

#

No drive of whats possible

#

And also like

#

Im not the stereotypical gmi at all

#

I literally fit the frat kid stereotype

#

I skated in highschool

#

I underschieved in highschool

#

Yea

#

They basically saw me as a hooligan in highschool

#

Cuz i was into knives and skating

#

And fashion

#

So it was like any time j told them ab some ambitious goals

#

Theyd just be like aha yea yea well see, but you should go into IT first

#

When i chose aerospace engineering as my major they clearly thought i was gonna flunk out too lol

#

But yea

#

I j wanna become independent so i dont have to talk to them much anymore

#

Their attitudes are negative and theyre sour ppl too often for my liking

#

Independent**

#

Junior

#

No i wasnt even in cs

#

Yea it just blows their mind that im able to do crazy things without being a supernerd loser

#

Dk why

#

Shits just lame

#

They j come from insanely traditional backgrounds

#

Of like working their way up

#

So i think theyre a lil upset im outearning them before i even graduate 😭

plain river
#

they are just jealous 🗣️ u should be proud of ur insane achievements 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

dapper dirge
#

you’re him goat

little shell
#

goat

#

i shouldve asked if they had nyc during the call, they said mclean, richmond or dallas 😭, maybe i couldve bagged a nyc offer too

#

hoping they got some hc for RO, cause im really trying to bag a nyc offer

stoic garnet
#

Everyone ik that was in proc wasnt even allowed to request nyc like were actively told “no”

#

Yall can prob email and try tho

elder glade
#

For intern I’m fine with going out of state

#

I just really want that nyc RO

stoic garnet
feral tangle
stoic garnet
#

Planning on the corpo housing

#

Shits prob bougie as hell

#

Ive heard they treat the nyc interns the best out of all the locos

#
  • nicest offices + hella snacks and shit
#

Yea prob tbh and also living with the other interns

#

Ikkkkk

#

Its like so tempting

#

Like if i were to get zon offer too

#

Like ik i have to choose zon and slave away for summer

#

If i want whats really best

#

But c1 nyc sounds like a fucking BLAST

#

Doing jack shit and getting paid hella and in nyc for a whole summer 💀 r u shitting me thats a dream for a young person

#

Lmaoo

#

How was nyc tho

#

Yea ik

#

Ikik

#

Its just like fuck bro

#

U cant tell me nyc c1 doesnt sound like the dream

#

I mean that JUST might be the best possible intern experience possible

#

Thatd be lit

#

Id take it

#

Tbh

#

I j wanna get one of the three for zon

#

Seattle, nyc, or sf

#

Then itll be ez choice

#

But

#

If its any other loco

#

Im gonna feel a lot of pain rejecting my c1 offer

#

Oh fr?

#

Seattle last damn

#

Part of me wants to j say fuck it and do c1 nyc and bank on ng recruiting zon to end up in same spot

#

Pays better + seems more fun + if u end up in the same spot…..

#

Yea idek

#

Yeaaa idk man

#

Its soooooo tempting

#

Yeaaa

#

Yea i suppose so

#

Im gonna be in so much pain letting c1 go if i get zon

elder glade
#

141k for ng I think

stoic garnet
#

But imma do it

elder glade
#

+25k signon

stoic garnet
elder glade
#

Ro rate probably higher than zon ngl 💀

stoic garnet
#

Also 5-10k performance bonuses r p common

stoic garnet
elder glade
#

zon is team dependent

stoic garnet
#

The intern interview is FOR the full time

#

For c1

#

Fun fact

elder glade
#

my friend got cucked over a ro from zon Seattle

stoic garnet
#

Thats y the RO rate is so high

elder glade
#

Cause his manager had a bad attitude or smth

#

Better chance of pushing zon

stoic garnet
#

Now that would be stupid lit

#

Imagine

#

Imagien doing both

elder glade
#

idk if c1 let you do that fall

stoic garnet
#

Id actually love my life for 6 months straight

stoic garnet
elder glade
#

I’d just try to push zon fall ngl

stoic garnet
#

Well yea

elder glade
#

that’s my plan if i get zon

stoic garnet
#

Atp

elder glade
#

yeah I’ll take the gamble ngl

stoic garnet
#

Like should i really sign c1 summer and bank on zon pushing fall? Seems sooo risky

elder glade
#

i rather have ro to nyc for c1 than zon outside of nyc

stoic garnet
#

Well i could recruit meta or goog

elder glade
stoic garnet
#

Zons just better

#

Pays better

#

Better res value

elder glade
#

if u could pass zon interview why can’t u do it a 2nd time

stoic garnet
#

Hm i c

#

Yea idk

#

Id have to take zon man

#

Like

#

I just gotta

#

Over c1

#

No matter what loco and team zon ro just pays better

#

And after year 2-3 it pays exponentially better

#

Well

#

Not exponentially

#

But significantly

elder glade
#

yeah the tc diff over c1 nyc vs zon outside of nyc would pretty much be 0 if not negative if I have to pay rent

#

even then I wouldn’t prob stay for over 3-4 years anyway

stoic garnet
#

Yea itd b negative

#

Zons fasho better

#

Yes this too

#

But lowk i wonder if zon has lost res value a little

#

Cuz its not secret they hire 6k fucking interns

#

And that its not necessarily a high bar

elder glade
#

I mean is getting zon a guarantee to interview at meta or msft or smth, my friend was there last year and didn’t get those interviews at all

stoic garnet
#

As if it wasn’t prestige

#

Which it lowk isnt

elder glade
#

My friend did this hiring season with zon

#

he didn’t get anything until dec and it was c1

stoic garnet
#

Thats crazy lowk

elder glade
#

Then he also had to crazy cold email recruiters to get a chance, but he managed to bag datadog from cold emailing

stoic garnet
#

Yknow i had a retired investment banker tell me today to go c1 nyc

elder glade
#

He’s not incompetent btw

stoic garnet
#

I just dont want to have to RO c1

elder glade
#

It’s just the system ngl, u can’t differentiate competence between 2 diff zon interns with the same resume

stoic garnet
#

BUT

#

Lowk

#

If its NYC c1 RO

#

Like

#

Shii

#

I mean i could save HELLA on car related expenses

#

Cuz i dont need one

elder glade
#

U could work c1 ro a few years then dip to zon or smth lol

#

I was prob gonna have a friend refer internally to zon nyc once I get a few years in

stoic garnet
#

Fuhhhhh

#

Man

#

Idek man

#

Im still leaning zon just cuz its faang

elder glade
#

That’s if I don’t like my job but I’ll have to see down the line

stoic garnet
#

No other reason

#

Also it pays better but yea thats ab it

#

Just pays better + res value a lil better

elder glade
#

I mean it’s your decision, do what u want

stoic garnet
#

Why exactly

elder glade
#

well for me

#

Maybe not you

#

I live in nyc

stoic garnet
#

Id try for both for sure

elder glade
#

Saves a bunch on rent and work life would be nice

#

the rent diff actually counts a lot when u factor in how much money u get back at the end of the year

stoic garnet
#

Imagine tho

#

C1, zon, meta

#

Intern

#

I would be able to recruit

#

Fucking anywhere

#

Why not tho

#

The internships r paying hella

#

Hmm

#

U cant start on a rolling basis for ng?

#

Tbh

#

Hm

elder glade
#

If u are junior rn why would fall intern even delay grad

stoic garnet
#

Cuz id have to take a gap sem

elder glade
#

Idk someone is saying grad delay

stoic garnet
#

In theory ig i could do summer classes during c1

#

And thatd keep me on track

elder glade
#

are u doing a full 4 years?

stoic garnet
elder glade
#

cause I’m doing 3.5 so I could just move it to spring it doesn’t matter to me ngl

stoic garnet
#

Lowk hella work

#

Like hella

elder glade
#

Or just take some online electives from my school

stoic garnet
#

Nah cant

#

Upper div technical electives

#
  • capstone
#

Year long capstone

#

Basically forced internship

#

So shit

#

But its w a shit company or with a prof

elder glade
#

What location is your school

stoic garnet
#

Ngmi land

elder glade
#

Oh

#

Damn everyone I be talking to goes to asu

stoic garnet
#

Thats crazy lol

#

This place is a shitter

#

Hmmmm

elder glade
#

I go to the Ivy League reject of ny

stoic garnet
#

Yea i mean

#

I cant do 30 credit hours man

#

Yea

#

And wait

#

WAIT

#

lowk

#

Theres hella classes i could take online

#

I could do online classes over summer, fall, during both internships

elder glade
#

Ngl fall hiring seems like doomed

stoic garnet
elder glade
#

they just don’t take ngmi’s

stoic garnet
#

O fr dam

elder glade
#

and much less hiring in general ig

stoic garnet
#

C1 intern unironically has real good resume value

#

It sounds like a joke

#

But its true

#

Ive seen c1 to basically everything

elder glade
#

I’m pretty locked in on c1 ngl these guys have been like the least stressful recruiting process for me, I had everything done within a month of applying even all the post offer stuff

#

What companies

stoic garnet
elder glade
#

Bro sounds like he goes to Waterloo the way he getting all year internships 😭

stoic garnet
#

What loco u got

elder glade
#

Back like feb

stoic garnet
elder glade
stoic garnet
elder glade
#

Best location they offered

stoic garnet
#

U a junior

elder glade
#

Yeah

stoic garnet
#

Lit

#

C1 locked in

elder glade
#

I don’t mind leaving nyc for summer, I actually rather like exploring somewhere for like 10 weeks ig

stoic garnet
#

GODAMN nyc is tempting evennif i get zon

elder glade
#

RO I want nyc though

stoic garnet
#

Even tho ik zon is the correct choice…

#

Oh my orz

elder glade
#

I’d probably take it lol yeah

stoic garnet
#

No way tho lol

#

Zon nyc fashooo filled

#

No corpo housing huh

elder glade
#

I’d just beg zon for fall and see if they reach back to me like may or June lmaoo

stoic garnet
#

No way

#

Nahhh

#

They give like 10k

#

Nah

#

Faangs give like 10k no???

#

For housingn?

#

Swear they did

#

Swearrrr they did

#

Oh

elder glade
#

I feel like none of this shit matters like 3-4 years down the line, as long as u in a company that has a name

stoic garnet
#

Ur first company determines ur trajectory

#

Its like investing

#

The earlier u start

#

The faster u start exponentially expanding in value

#

And in this case, the faster ur tc inflates to ridiculous numbers

elder glade
#

ngl i don’t really need all that 400k+ tc or anything ngl we prob just got diff goals

stoic garnet
#

And having shitloads of money is the best way to do that

#

Early

#

Retire early

#

And shit

#

Yeeeppp

#

Like 40 ideally

#

But

#

Idk

#

Like

#

Idk if i wanna retirr early at all

#

Yep

#

Exactly

#

Just seems boring

#

Like if u can retire at 40

#

Imagine how much more u can accomplish

#

Yea

#

Imagine how much you can accomplish if u reach a retireable level of wealth at 40

#

You can keep going

elder glade
#

brother im just trying to have a family and settle down 😭

stoic garnet
#

Ride out my potential to the max

#

Accomplish everything i can in life within reason of wlb

#

I want to become a leader in industry. Like big tech ceo level of influence

#

Yeaaa

#

Thatd be cool to like

#

Be the bext airbnb

#

Like thats ny goal

#

I feel like meta ceo is too large too high profile

#

But like

#

Ceo of a company like bnb or stripe or soemthing

#

I wanna be daves hot chicken ceo

#

And turn it into a tech company

elder glade
#

Wish I had the money to go to a better school so I can feel at least somewhat better about school taking up so much of my time lmao

stoic garnet
elder glade
#

I paid 500 this sem

stoic garnet
#

Going to asu was one of the biggest mistakes of my life

elder glade
#

for a dorm included too

#

Main perk of me going to this school

#

Didn’t want to put anyone in debt

#

no that’s my point, I’m saying that ig its still somewhat marginally better, I still said it’s prob not gonna be good ngl

stoic garnet
#

Yea im not too upset cuz at least ill make money to pay off this stupid debt

#

College is so expensive man

#

For no reason

#

The profs r shit

#

They dont deserve the money theyre paid

#

The scchool doesnt deserve the money theyre paid

elder glade
#

born for gatech destined to ngmi land

stoic garnet
#

Non t10 colleges are predatory and evil and useless and cringe

#

Imo

#

For the price they charge

elder glade
#

most of it is the name value for resume

#

much easier time getting past the res screen part

stoic garnet
elder glade
#

And getting earlier interview and reach outs ig

elder glade
#

It doesn’t matter in the end once u all get a ft job and get some years in

#

Just prob could’ve saved me some doom time from getting rejection letters before any oa

#

💀

#

That’s what happens when u think so far ahead

stoic garnet
#

Yea i mean guys

#

Regardless

#

We are starting out in the top 1% of our age bracket in the US

elder glade
#

Non stem classes were deadass useless

stoic garnet
#

So like

elder glade
#

idk what school u going to for it to be useful

#

I’m a lot more well spoken after doing so many damn presentations 💀 💀

#

they gotta drop a cooking class ong

#

Horrible

#

😭 😭

#

Half of mine is just ppl glazing lebron James like there’s no tomorrow

#

doomed to you are my sunshine 😭
