Last Internship! Instagram Feed & Reel vs Microsoft Azure Fabric

[glad spindle]

msft prolly has best ro icl

but aside from that meta gaps

idk tho im ngmi

[pulsar locust]

That's what I heard too, thank you so much!

[gleaming bolt]

Since you are priortizing RO I would go with Microsoft

It will be higher than Instagram

But if you care about resume value then go with Instagram

[pulsar locust]

Thank you King, RO is something I care most about. I'm so done with this interview hell.

[fair sapphire]

U got an insane team match

Prob one of the best teams

At Meta

[pulsar locust]

can u elaborate moreeee I'm dyinggg rn

[gleaming bolt]

isn't meta tm just rng. they just look at your resume and match you a team based on that?

[fair sapphire]

it might be more rng than that

they might just not loook at resume at all

no one knows how tm works

[pulsar locust]

Are you in Meta rn? I heard Instagram WLB is not gud, how do you know it's a good team?

T_T

[fair sapphire]

I’m also an incoming intern. Instagram WLB is pretty good compared to other pillar

Generally

Prob depends on team

[gleaming bolt]

i think it just a good team bc it a product that impacts millions of users. like everyone uses instagram reels

[fair sapphire]

Instagram Pillar is prob the best for intern

[pulsar locust]

There is not enough data for Instagram interns at all. Is it that rare?

Damn the whole team is in NYC, but I'll be working at MPK . I guess this will be a problem as there will be no team-building activities

[gleaming bolt]

why did they give you mpk if your team is nyc 💀

[pulsar locust]

I'm so fucked

[gleaming bolt]

yeah they fucked you over super hard

[pulsar locust]

literally this on Blind

[gleaming bolt]

at microsoft you def will get more networking oppoturnities

[pulsar locust]

from Microsoft employees LMAO

Man life is so funny

[fair sapphire]

• from msft employee

[pulsar locust]

how ironic

[fair sapphire]

They got rejected by instagram

[pulsar locust]

This is not looking good for me

entire team with different timezone and location

got zucked so hard

[glad spindle]

if priority is ro, deffo meta

but imo u can take meta too cuz its a cracked team

lil riskier but if u dont mind recruiting its chill

u2y, msft ro is bascially 100

[pulsar locust]

MSFT RO rate > Meta right? Also, I’ve been digging through Blind, and it seems like most people aren’t too positive about IG Reels-related teams.

Thanks a lot King

[gleaming bolt]

@pulsar locust i think you should make a poll to get the wider audience view on this

[glad spindle]

sorry @pulsar locust i meant msft

[glad spindle]

yeah i meant msft > meta. blind is also full of doomers, everyone hates on everyone else so take it with a grain of salt.

idk what azure fabric does icl but feed seems fire

msft also lowk a retirement home from what ik

[pulsar locust]

Thank you thank you, great suggestion

[pulsar locust]

they pay peanuts too xD

[hardy remnant]

Bro instagram reels is literally goated team

Just pick meta and 996

[undone folio]

Which uni?

[pulsar locust]

Cal

[pulsar locust]

I picked MSFT LMAO can't do that shjt

[median imp]

"faangmeup" and didnt choose faang

[pulsar locust]

welp that's life T_T

If only I'm not on Visa

that's life

[split hornet]

What’s ur prev exp @pulsar locust

Instagram is goated

[coral horizon]

microsoft

sorry meta is just not safe these days

[pulsar locust]

I guess because my school was a target school?

mostly startup and TA exp

Career Fair helped a lot

[split hornet]

idk maybe its rng

i think meta team matching is rng but ig is a really good team

[pulsar locust]

6 of my friends all got Meta offer

4 intern 2 NG

[split hornet]

i never got interview

[pulsar locust]

ahhh you mean Team Matching

it's RNG I just refuse to pick infra or monetization team

[split hornet]

ah i see

ig is a monetization team or what

isnt it product

im not sure

ik product teams genrally have worse wlb but its easier to progress bc its easier to "show impact"

[pulsar locust]

I mean I'll dodge any team with Monetization/Ads and Virtual Lab

[split hornet]

i wonder if you can switch into instagram after working for a year

[pulsar locust]

and picked product team so maybe that's why

[split hornet]

wait u filed out a form?

[pulsar locust]

yes they give a form with 6 7 different "pillars" or orgs to choose

[split hornet]

oh i see

can u give an example of what some of the options were if u remember

[gleaming bolt]

do you go to a T5?

[pulsar locust]

I guess so, it's Cal

[pulsar locust]

They have something like

Web / ios / android / ar/vr
product infra
infra platform
system

I guess I can show lots of impact if I'm in the first 4

[split hornet]

what did u pick or how did u rank them?

[pulsar locust]

of course WEB is my 1st prior, than Mobile, not AR/VR obviously
Then Product Infra

other were my least preferred

[split hornet]

ah gotcha

im gonna be at msft this summer as well

i want meta or google or better next yr though

[pulsar locust]

yooo I guess we will meet eventually

I picked msft

[split hornet]

did u do corp houisng or stipend

[pulsar locust]

stipend of course

I shared an apartment with 2 other dudes, only $800/month for everything

[split hornet]

i did corp lol

[split hornet]

honesltly worth

i shouldve done stipend

how far are u from office

[pulsar locust]

are you Junior?

[split hornet]

soph

[pulsar locust]

15 mins walking

[pulsar locust]

shit u cracked

[split hornet]

wtf

15 min walking is so op

[pulsar locust]

don't worry about $$$ for now, you have 2 more interns LMAO

[split hornet]

i found one for 1.5k but its 45 min drive from office

i looked too late

[pulsar locust]

Fresh Soph and Junior should choose Corp Housing IMHO

Connect---ionnn

[split hornet]

only 1

[pulsar locust]

yeah I booked it around Jan

[split hornet]

cant intern in senior summer

[pulsar locust]

why not take an extra semester?

grad on Dec

That's what I did

[split hornet]

what if i get return offer from my junior year internship?

i wouldnt be able to start for a while then

[pulsar locust]

then you can take summer courses and start working around Sep

if you get an offer for FTE, then C gets degree

lmao

[split hornet]

thats true

i think waht i wanna do is

junior year summer internship + senior fall internship (while taking remote classes)

and then work ft after senior yr, graduate on time

[split hornet]

true

[pulsar locust]

hmm I don't think there are a lot of companies doing Fall intern

[split hornet]

i would try to get amaozn offer and push it to fall

[pulsar locust]

not with Faang, unless you're in a coop school

Wait they do?

[split hornet]

yeah amazon pushes

so many people push it

[pulsar locust]

great

[split hornet]

i failed amazon process though this yr tho lol

i fumbled

[pulsar locust]

sounds like an optimal plan

[split hornet]

i need to get bettter at leetocde

[pulsar locust]
