Not waiting but I just gave my interview 😕

queen tiger
#

what team/role/location @true orchid

true orchid
#

Optimus robotics swe

#

I got cooked

queen tiger
#

rip

#

I've been waiting for 38 days for a decision lol

#

I thought I did well on my interviews for Software QA Engineer

queen tiger
true orchid
#

Nah I had to implement a buddy allocator

queen tiger
#

jesus

true orchid
#

😭🙏

queen tiger
#

tesla doing the most 😦

true orchid
#

Kill me now man

queen tiger
#

do you have anything for summer

true orchid
#

Ye but it’s mid

#

And not rlly in my field

#

Pay wise probably not prestige wise maybe

#

No clue about tc

queen tiger
#

autopilot/optimus is 200-250 new grad im pretty sure

#

intern pay is close to like 70 an hour

#

factory software

#

fremont location

#

I would be doing qa for testing internal systems and also distributed systems

#

the tech stack is kinda crazy for the role actually

#

yeah

#

nah

#

its golang and kafka

#

pretty good tech stack

#

yeah

#

my housemate worked on an internal tooling

#

team

#

he said it was alright but he got bored of the work

#

but the resume value was still insane

#

yeah he did it as a sophomore lied about grad date and rejected full time offer

#

yeah you have to for tesla lol these guys want old ppl

#

hes going to zon this summer

#

and also interviewed with tesla diagnostics team which is directly under like autopilot

#

in terms of pay and difficulty to get

#

yeah no zon is way better

#

only autopilot is better

#

but getting that is extremely hard

#

its like backend diagnostics

#

its easier than quant i think

#

he got asked leetcode hards

#

or 1 at least

true orchid
#

I’d have preferred LC hyards honestly

queen tiger
#

yeah lowkey

#

those random niche questions are annoying

true orchid
#

Ts ain’t even a niche question mf jsut asked me my computer arch course final project

queen tiger
#

data but its close to AP from what I heard

#

might be related work not too sure

#

its called backend diagnostics

#

i think from the job posting

#

heavy python role I think

#

#

kk
