@teal plover is this position for senior software engineer role at bloomberg?

#

idk these ones are always more about the city for me than the company

#

both options are decent I think it's more down to Seattle vs NYC

#

for me NYC wins there, but your opinion might be diff

#

just out of curiousity, is it common practice to recscind offers? unless they did super fucked up or took too long to take the offer, that's super unprofessional i feel like

#

i'm new to this whole thing so forgive my ignorance

#

that's turbo fucked up

#

like they gotta know that doing that hurts their reputation

#

that's actually crazy

#

bloomberg sounds more appealing by the second

#

It isn't big enough a difference to weigh over location imo

#

They're pretty close

#

Where are you hearing this about offers being rescinded

#

The only case I’ve heard of it is for people who couldn’t get visas or lied about visas

#

Otherwise they haven’t done it at all from what I can see internally

I’ve heard it’s really easy to switch teams at Bloomberg

yeah lol this is the case 99% of the time when an offer gets "rescinded" but it doesn't really fit the narrative

#

I'd take all of those with a grain of salt

#

I know so many people who got fired for not doing work, hr issues, etc

#

and then posted like they got laid off

#

wild stuff

#

tbh both are fine

#

ur odds won't change

#

really all the depends for u is

#

work/location imo

#

at the end of the day if ur smart you'll get interviews

#

do u like cities

#

and are u an introvert/extrovert?

#

depends in my opinion

#

then I'd figure out where u can buy a house

#

personally

#

congratz on the offers tho and ur future wedding

#

someone who touches grass T_T

#

with that logic, I'd just try and go for quant at that point LOL

#

feel free to dm if u have more questions too

#

and no worries!

#

yeah I do, was acc considering Bloomberg for a bit as well

#

NYC is a really big city, several neighborhoods you can live in to suit your preferences

Any school or school of their choice

You should visit - downsides are having to rely on public transit (could be a pro if you don't like driving), dirty, expensive and small apts, upsides are culture, Broadway, shows music everywhere

I think ti's amount based. Like upto 12000 usd as long as it's relevant to your career

#

Yeah but probably better than Microsoft without the silent constant layoffs. Ask some friends who live in NYC to get a feel. Some ppl love it others hate it

austere shuttle Sep 17, 2025, 4:55 PM

#

bb sounds really good then
