[lapis lion]

its not bad at all from what I heard, just be confident and show culture fit.

[rose grove]

nope not one clue😭

how are u prepping for the HM round

[lapis lion]

no idea

I heard it was coding for a lot of people

[rose harbor]

Its whatever you did worse on

[lapis lion]

[rose harbor]

I think for this behavioural is far more important

Compared to previous rounds

[rose grove]

[lapis lion]

[rose harbor]

You dont

[lapis lion]

my recruiter told me I had strong feedback for it, but my decomp was def much better

[rose harbor]

Or you can ask prev people about what they got lol

[rose harbor]

How you get feedback just curious?

[lapis lion]

I talked to my recruiter, she set up like a 15 min call w me to prep for hm rounf

[rose harbor]

Ahh okay okay i might email mine

[rose grove]

[rose harbor]

Its hard but doable imo

[rose grove]

learning is so dumb i really hope its not that

[lapis lion]

But I didnt have an LC tech round 😭

[rose grove]

[rose harbor]

palo alto > ny

sf > ny

[rose grove]

[feral charm]

bro all these palantir rounds are so mysterious it’s so hard to prep

[celest galleon]

[lapis lion]

[rose harbor]

yeah i never give them early timeslots because ik they be fiening for that

i gave 5-7 pm lmaoo

but also bc ik they in west coast

[feral charm]

bro these mf

[rose harbor]

so -3

[feral charm]

gave me a 7 am interview for my onsite

[rose harbor]

yo goodluck bro

[lapis lion]

London?

[rose grove]

LMAO

mine was 8am for r1 then my recruiter switched me over to american people

and then it was like reasonable times

[feral charm]

naw nyc

my interviewer was from london though

[lapis lion]

USG or comm or Dev?

[feral charm]

dev infra

[rose harbor]

one of my friends is also in dev infra proc

[lapis lion]

how hard is the swap from delta to dev

[rose harbor]

like internally?

[lapis lion]

yea

[rose harbor]

you should ask them during the interview

lmao

[lapis lion]

lmfao

[rose harbor]

no idea though maybe check glassdoor?

[lapis lion]

hearing conflicting things online

[rose harbor]

i feel like thats a later issue anyways tbh

like finish hm --> talk to employees

[lapis lion]

yea it is, but like idek if FDSE would stunt future career growth

like i wouldnt want to do 2 years of FDSE -> entry big tech

over amazon ro

[feral charm]

i mean i think future career growth fdse vs amazon is pretty similar fdse can open doors for routes other than swe if that’s interesting to you but either option is valid

amazon backloaded stock package is pretty annoying tho

[lapis lion]

I think for me the main driver is culture + PLTR is NYC vs Amazon in Seattle

Like my team at zon worked me to the bone. 8 AM ~ 1 AM every day

[feral charm]

fdse will also work you to the bone

what loc do you prefer

[lapis lion]

NYC. I dont mind being worked to the bone, but the culture of zon also sucked + I really hated seattle

[lucid coral]

i think palantir name > zon too

[lapis sequoia]

@rose grove Could I ask how long did you hear back after vo interview round?
