shell stone
When is your start date , do you know the estimated time for bg check it takes.
wraith pilot
they told me to start in june haha.. nope i will find out soon
i didnt get a written offer yet. Just did a call for verbal offer
shell stone
Oh after bg check you will get it right ?
wraith pilot
no i think
background check starts after i sign
that's how it was for my current employment and other internships
shell stone
Oh I see
wraith pilot
but i guess they don't care
shell stone
Ya actually i am feeling it now
wraith pilot
feeling what
shell stone
Nope I have on chain experience but they haven't did any did any team match based on it
fresh flint
i have 0 experience..
thats relieving for me lol
wraith pilot
yeah i think it's fine as long as u passed resume screening
@shell stone really hope u hear back soon
shell stone
Ya dude all the best , I think you are super excited joining coinbase
lone crow
Congrats brother!!! Happy for you!
fresh flint
i have 0 experience..
so what interests you about coinbase? well at least what did you tell them lmao
rotund edge
Howād you get IC4 not IC3?
wraith pilot
i have 2 yrs experience
and my recruiter decided to move me to ic4 position
after initial onsite
i had to do 1 additional round tho
lone crow
Good for you mate, bigger pay!
wraith pilot
yeah but they just pinged me to confirm my visa status
i really hope they don't revoke
cause i'm on STEM OPT
shell stone
So what you have an year left right?
wraith pilot
yeah
1 year š¦
i told this before the interview
now recruiter is telling me they need to confirm this with mobility team
fresh flint
i told this before the interview
thats weird. my recruiter talked to me abt all the possible visa issues beforehand
and we figured sum out
fresh flint
no a diff situation but i mean
they shouldn't change it up after thats kinda messed up
wraith pilot
yeah but i've seen this happen to others with big tech
someone got their offers rescinded from meta after they told they have only a year left
š
fresh flint
ye but u told them beforehand so surely its ok?
i wouldn't see the recruiter going forward with you if it wasn't
wraith pilot
my recruiter apparently put a ticket for mobility team before the interview but now she checks and says it's not approved.. i don't know if that means it got rejected
or not approved yet
I'm fucked if it means it's rejected
shell stone
Damn this is crazy dude
shell stone
I think it should be OK with coinbase since they are fully remote
Meta's case is different
wraith pilot
yeah..
i'm so shocked
i would have rather liked it if i got rejected in the first place
shell stone
I mean they should tell this before interviewing right ?
shell stone
i would have rather liked it if i got rejected in the first place
This is damn crazy dude
After ceo approval
wraith pilot
i fucking told the recruiter
shell stone
This is literally bs
shell stone
Bro this is crazy
wraith pilot
yeah..
shell stone
What is the reason they mentioned
wraith pilot
visa
shell stone
Fuck so how much opt months should be there
wraith pilot
idk man omg i fucking hate coinbase
i can't believe
this
happened to me
i only read this from reddit
shell stone
I feel you should ask for some alternative
wraith pilot
thanks..
fresh flint
fuck them
im sorry
couldn't confirm it for how long? but they can confirm it in an hour after u get offer
lone crow
Bro they told me they do sponsor
fresh flint
Bro they told me they do sponsor
they told me they don't
maybe since ur applying for different position
lone crow
True
Man this is mindfuck
IC4 is good for sponsor
@wraith pilot they say coinbase is a remote friendly company, if you donāt mind working from your home country I think you can mention that
fresh flint
yep thats what they told me i can do
lone crow
yep thats what they told me i can do
But they pay your home country salary right?
fresh flint
But they pay your home country salary right?
not sure
either way they pay well so idm
lone crow
Same
lone crow
Damn bro yeah
wraith pilot
they told me they don't
this is for ic3 emerging talent?
lone crow
Day 1 CPT? Or take offer work 1 year from home country and ask them to apply for L1.
fresh flint
this is for ic3 emerging talent?
yep
lone crow
Day 1 CPT? Or take offer work 1 year from home country and ask them to apply for...
Zon used to do something like this right
fresh flint
ik ur doing ic4 but i'd assume its not different
wraith pilot
ok why they fucking never told me this info
fresh flint
maybe it is different for ic4 but you're a special case... idk
or just recruiter diff in being informative
wraith pilot
do u think i should ask
since i was originally ic3
and they transferred me to ic4
fresh flint
i mean you have nothing to lose ig
unless you are worried of being blacklisted, but i doubt this would merit that
shell stone
I mean you should definitely ask
lone crow
Yes you should!
frigid pasture
since you're on opt does that mean you can only stay for a year?
fossil dome
lone crow
@shell stone and @wraith pilot how much does coinbase take to let us know if we moved to the next round or not? Finished tech recently
lone crow
I got the response next day itself
I gave mine yesterday so just worried
fresh flint
guys
my last internship was frontend
my recruiter just asked me if i only want backend opportunities or if i want to do a frontend interview bc of my last internship
i rly hate frontend but like if it gives me higher chance of getting job i'll do it
i'd much prefer backend
what do u guys think
should i just stick with my gut and do backend still
for cb
fresh flint
I feel like the frontend interview is just trivial if youāve done react before no? Iām not very good at leetcode but mhmhmhmgm
frigid pasture
Probably better to do fe then
Iām not good at front end so I wouldnāt know š
fresh flint
its just i have no gut feeling about this whatsoever
i'd hugely prefer backend but i mean
a job is a job in the end
fresh flint
@lone crow @shell stone sorry for the ping, do you have any input on this?
shell stone
But you will struggle at team match
fresh flint
for backend?
shell stone
Yep
This is my opinion
I mean I would prefer what you are comfortable with , it is most important at last you should crack the interview first
fresh flint
i haven't done react in a hot minute but its definitely easier than leetcode i think
shell stone
Oh I see I mean you should know are you comfortable with lc or react more ?
fresh flint
ive been studying lc lately and not react but i haven't rly forgotten react
and lc is more of a coin flip
its just rly hard for me to say anything definitively thats my problem rn
shell stone
Think for a while and see what is better for uou
But if you have frontend experience more it will be helpful team match if you interview for frontend teams only
fresh flint
i have more backend experience actually but the frontend on my resume is more recent and more impactful
which is probably why
also how stable is a frontend job nowadays, idek
lone crow
True its better to go with what you like and are good at. But if are desperate in need of a job and capable of getting one via this then you should try. You can always switch internally later.
fresh flint
im not very desperate and in need of a job, i graduate in august and would start in september. i want a job but its not end of everything otherwise
and i don't like the prospect of switching internally bc who even knows how that works idk
maybe i can ask her if it would be possible to do backend and if it fails do frontend, i doubt she'll say yes but its worth a question
fresh flint
Backend and frontend
Yeah backend first if I fail it we can try frontend after lol
shell stone
Nice I think then mine is not a good match rather than headcount
Because people are getting backend interviews
Probably no big tech in my resume
fresh flint
I donāt either so Iām prob the same fate as you
But itās still worth it
Maybe redeeming factor is I go to a good school š¤·
shell stone
Oh I see i will reach out in 2 to 3 months after working for gs
Probably that tag can help me out
fresh flint
Yeah def, this recruiter is extremely cooperative too I think sheād give you another chance
shell stone
Ya
rotund edge
@fresh flint I had the same dilemma but chose front end because my recruiter said backend is full
Might just end up rejecting if I get the offer cuz front end actually sucks
Especially with all the cool backend stuff happening at Coinbase
Are you US based?
fresh flint
<@150359820229279745> I had the same dilemma but chose front end because my recr...
??? When were your interviews my recruiter said no such thing
fresh flint
Hm idk it is the US role though
She just said I canāt come to the US
If they were at hc for backend why wouldnāt she just tell me
fresh flint
Might just end up rejecting if I get the offer cuz front end actually sucks
I hope I didnāt fuck up cause in the end itās still a rly good job and I canāt be picky rn
I hope mt recruiter honours scheduling a frontend interview later if it doesnāt work out
rotund edge
Ya fs they will
fresh flint
<@150359820229279745> I had the same dilemma but chose front end because my recr...
yk i heard someone say that they will get more hc for backend at end of summer
and my grad is in august so maybe that's why
