#Databricks vs Google (TM) vs Radix Trading (final round)

Ok good to know

here is my honest take. if youre good enough to get radix final round then youre guarenteed a team at google basically. like theres no way you wouldnt match. you also have the option to be selfish and take a team you truly want to work for rather than the first one u get a match call with
at databricks youll be thrown into some org and might not like the work. for this reason i would do rabix > google > databricks. ive heard really bad things about reneging at databricks if u want to cut the connection then accept and reneg later but imo i think youre chillin

also worth noting that 70%+ get matched. of those 30% theres a lot of people who have no previous internships, arent from target school, and have no cool projects which means theres no interest from the hosts
ill assume from getting those other 2 processes this isnt the case. radix is an amazing firm with pretty high bar so obviously youll find a team you like. if you have the confidence to match at google i would let the offer expire. if you dont care to reneg i would accept db and fuck em over and take the blacklist as a safety
googles resume screen is very blackboxxed so unfortunately they cant capture the top percentile of candidates where smaller companies with more dedicated longer interview loops can. a big part of project match is to add this filter so that people who seem interesting and worth while to google will find a match. theres also a randomized matching that hosts can elect for but most choose not to do this
my recommendation since you have previous internships is just decline the offer or ask for winter and focus on matching. feel free to DM if u need help with the team matching form

Google and DB are THE best spots someone can go new grad
Nothing else better in big tech
Google for WLB DB for pay
So it just depends on what u want more
Also where did your recruiter say this. This is diabolical
it’s basically meta with better/similar pay
Realistically they can’t actually blacklist you. Databricks is too big to keep a blacklist. And in like 3-5 years they’re going to cut pay anyways
So it’s like if you get blacklisted now who cares lol
DB is 270 then 240 recurring
Meta is 220 and like 190 recurring I think
Have fun passing process lmao
Bar is really high
Damn bros in it for the long haul
@tight depot oh wait can I ask u about radix
No recruiter outside of quant knows radix

google merged step and multiple waves of recruiting into one big wave for the regular swe internship
Its still the same amount of spots as there would be for step and regular combined. Only diff is that the pool is filling up at the same time rather than at various times of the year

blacklist you for newgrad meaning they will blacklist you only if you want to go back to get newgrad position? Or blacklist you permanently if you reneg the newgrad position that you were offered?

DB is 270 then 240 recurring
im lowkey worried about DB being overvalued right now, making the 270 not really 270. is there a consensus on what people think of DB's private stock value as awarded to engineers
I didnt know about this. if we take that example, do u think there might have been any years of stripe(?) SWEs whose initial 4 year stock ended up like not beating the S&P/depreciating?

yes this is always a risk with private companies
its a bit mitigated at DB with the (at least until now) yearly buyback so maybe theres less risk of losing all of it but it could def be worth less than it is now

oh yikes
waxen steeple
oh yikes
its just normal risk/reward tbh, like more potential for loss and more potential for greater profit compared to standard public companies

Hmm yeah true
