How long after first phone to hear back

[glacial lake]

depends on recruiter or interviewer

[vast crane]

r u still waiting after em btw

[glacial lake]

mine responded after phone in 3 days

[glacial lake]

ye lmao

u ?

[vast crane]

yeah i had mine on 10th

ig we getting stack ranked together rip

[marble cloud]

Was calm

[glacial lake]

i had mine on the 3rd so 12th biz day now

[marble cloud]

Lwk was just a conversation

System design was very open ended

I enjoyed it

Like it was kinda like how and why more than memorization

I told rec to expedite he told me he will get back to me by next week Friday

[glacial lake]

i think @marble cloud might also be in the stack....COOKED

[vast crane]

lol we all gonna make it out

[marble cloud]

I don’t think we will be stack ranked lol

[glacial lake]

they clearing the stack next week

[marble cloud]

They aren’t coinbase

[vast crane]

i havent seen too many rejects after em past a week

[marble cloud]

💀

Hmmm idk

[vast crane]

acc?

[glacial lake]

no idea lol

[marble cloud]

People are still getting phone lol

So definite a lot of hc left

[vast crane]

hopefully

i feel like ur the last em as of recent tho

maybe ur the last one for this cycle

[glacial lake]

but the time between each bloomberg offer is insane

[vast crane]

i've been in the process since september xD

[soft peak]

they are definitely done in batches, wouldnt be surprised if stack ranking happens

[marble cloud]

Yeah idk I just want an offer for a dopamine hit

Too many rejects

😭

[glacial lake]

bro u got a peak offer

[vast crane]

i dont even got enough processes to get the rejects

[marble cloud]

Yeah true but still I am kinda anxious about offer being rescinded

[glacial lake]

understandable

[marble cloud]

I am intnl as well

So yeah kinda risky

[glacial lake]

so would u say you killed every round?

[marble cloud]

I think so

[glacial lake]

oh my "strong hire"

[marble cloud]

My em went 10 minutes over because we were yapping

Seems like a good sign

But idk

[marble cloud]

Like 2 weeks

[vast crane]

who are ur guys recruiter

[glacial lake]

VC

[vast crane]

VF

[marble cloud]

JA

[glacial lake]

did u kill every round too?

[vast crane]

idk

[glacial lake]

gotta scout out the competition

[vast crane]

i think im the only person that did 1 question for each tech lol

got nothing tagged too

[woven dagger]

Damn that’s a long ass time

I have JA too

[marble cloud]

I did 1 q with follow ups for both vo tech

[vast crane]

but they kept asking me questions so they were all of those follow up questions

[marble cloud]

Yea same mine just kept modifying the question a little

[vast crane]

my hr went rly well tho

idk how much influence they have

[marble cloud]

They gave me some feedback as well said everything was good except my variable naming

Can’t blame them I used sussy

As a variable name

[vast crane]

yeah i asked for feedback and they all said good comm even if i didnt get everything sometimes

[glacial lake]

i guess they do value comms

[marble cloud]

Yea

[vast crane]

seems like it, collaboration and comm

[marble cloud]

Because people who didn’t solve the q also passed

With good communication

[vast crane]

i think a lot of ppl mistanekly solve everything at once without stopping lol

[glacial lake]

do they usually send out decisions in batches?

[marble cloud]

Ya

[glacial lake]

yep they rush, ask no questions, and just code monkey it

[vast crane]

bc i told one of the guys i can do it optimally but he told me to brute force first

[marble cloud]

Yea some times brute force is very optimal lol

Esp for one of my questions

I was thinking of dijkstra

[vast crane]

same just had to slap a hashmap at teh end lol

[marble cloud]

But he told me to brute force

[marble cloud]

lol

I think I used a hashmap where someone wanted me to use a linked list I just said hashmap in Python are sorted in insertion order

I think I cooked them

💀

[glacial lake]

ye the solutions don't have to insane
during my phone i got asked a kth question, used a heap, then mentioned quick select

and he said nah heap is good enuf

[vast crane]

i had to explain waht counter in python did for 5 min xD

[marble cloud]

lol

[glacial lake]

i guess they gon interview through April atp

[vast crane]

i also got a heap variant

[marble cloud]

Yea they have lots of hc

Seems like it

[glacial lake]

i mean i feel like bbg likes to interview a ton

then just stack rank it

[kindred turtle]

When did you apply?

[marble cloud]

Could be also lots of people fail vo

[glacial lake]

whenever it dropped, so sept i think

[marble cloud]

Idk I used multiple emails because I was blacklisted by them for intern because I just didn’t show up for an interview

😭

[vast crane]

i asked for a referral

[glacial lake]

wait didn't u get rejected b4?

[vast crane]

idek if that role qualifies w referral xD

[meager oar]

yo can i dm @marble cloud

[marble cloud]

Yea

[marble cloud]

Sure

[marble cloud]

I got phone after applying again with diff email

[glacial lake]

u also in bb process now?

[glacial lake]

ahh ic ic

[glacial lake]

does bb referral even matter?

[vast crane]

like im not even sure if the role was referrable bc they link is technically private

[glacial lake]

private link again?

[vast crane]

but i got phone like a month after

[glacial lake]

this shit happened last year

[vast crane]

it's always "private" but it leaks

[marble cloud]

Link was leaked lol

I just applied

[glacial lake]

u delayed the process till now?

[vast crane]

no there was like a two month gap between phone and vo

bc winter break

[glacial lake]

i just apply to the one in this server lol

might be the leaked one

[marble cloud]

Bloomberg vs Google ads Seattle is there any reason to take Bloomberg over g besides stability

Don’t really care about location

[vast crane]

i'd take g

[glacial lake]

u can get bloomberg anytime imo

[vast crane]

go to bloomberg when u old

[marble cloud]

Fair enough

[glacial lake]

bloomberg is rumored career suicide or something

[vast crane]

can u reject bbg so me and @glacial lake can get a job

[glacial lake]

PLEASE

[marble cloud]

My em today was there for 25 years lol

[glacial lake]

ye that bout to be me if i get bb

[vast crane]

one of my vo intervieweres stayed bbg longer than my em lol

[glacial lake]

@marble cloud when is your start date for google?

[woven dagger]

Did they tell you that you passes at the end of phone interview

[glacial lake]

mine just said "hear back from hr"

[vast crane]

mine did i think

[modest rock]

I did two rounds of my vo today and they told I’ll hear back from hr
How long do I wait

[vast crane]

they told me to come back for hr later after my second

[marble cloud]

Mid June

[woven dagger]

Mine didn’t say anything about HR

lol

Solved first problem didn’t finish second one

Had to design an order book for first problem

[marble cloud]

Same

[modest rock]

Can I dm?

[marble cloud]

It might depend on availability as well

So just gotta wait

[gloomy citrus]

can I dm?

[marble cloud]

😭

[neat charm]

can i dm @marble cloud ?

[marble cloud]

Sure

[earnest schooner]

can i dm? @marble cloud

[marble cloud]

sure

[formal sentinel]

@marble cloud how did you know you got blacklisted?

[marble cloud]

guessing

[dusty timber]

so would you be going directly to the EM or is it a reject ?

[fallen tundra]

gl bro

[fallen tundra]

they need to do hr

[modest rock]

I have no idea

Hopefully they call me back for hr

[flat shore]

if u aced all coding and had good em round ur prob getting it

[flat shore]

like 0

its a pass fail bar

not a % bar

[vast crane]

i see, so the weighing is only from the technicals and the em?

[marble cloud]

🙏

[quartz tangle]

Never heard this lol, Bloomberg has awesome exits

If you actually leave that is ...

[glacial lake]

most people leave to quant?

[quartz tangle]

Yeah a lot go to quant and a bunch go to top unicorns and tech

[dusty timber]
