#

hmm i see

#

which one do u think has better resume value?

#

or r both roughly the same?

#

i was thinking datadog prob has more bc its like solely a tech company while robinhood is more fintech

deft tartan
crystal radish
#

ah okay

#

any idea what robinhood ro rate is like?

deft tartan
#

could be wrong but i know its low

crystal radish
#

oh wow

#

thats crazy

#

wasnt that from like 2022-2023 though?

next mesa
#

Robinhood is better resume value. Datadog for higher RO rate and interesting work

crystal radish
#

Why does rh have better res val?

summer osprey
#

Robinhood

#

gaps

deft tartan
summer osprey
#

not even close

crystal radish
summer osprey
#

might be best time to join. my opinion is that rh goes to 500b in next 3 years

crystal radish

#

I care abt RO first, then resume value

next mesa
#

Bc people can say anything they want here lol

#

Doubt it’s that low

crystal radish
#

Idk any😭

next mesa
#

Look up !process robinhood offer from last year’s chat

crystal radish
#

Do u think recruiter will tell me? I have call on Monday

crystal radish
next mesa
crystal radish
#

Yea that’s fair

deft tartan
#

@crystal radish are u sure RH is in nyc

#

i thought it was sf

#

or somewhere in cali

crystal radish
#

so last year it was mpk and nyc. this year apparently its only mpk, but someone told me that nyc is also an option, they just havent confirmed nyc teams yet

#

i put nyc in post, bc i didnt want location to be a factor when deciding which one to pick

summer osprey
#

they dont do ng recruiting only intern conversions

crystal radish
#

Oh okay

#

Yea I’m gonna try to figure what ro rate is

undone basin
#

Why

undone basin
summer osprey
#

It’s going to be the finance company

undone basin
#

you think they’re gonna almost 4x valuation ?

summer osprey
#

Crypto, stocks, banking, credit, real estate, etf

undone basin
#

Who’s their competitor

#

Okay yeah never heard of them

#

Fuck I should’ve joined rh last yr

summer osprey
#

They don’t have one

#

I think so

undone basin
#

I didn’t get rh interview this year

#

last yr I did

#

fuck

summer osprey
#

Also they pay more than ddog

undone basin
#

which ones have good futures

#

I guess we don’t know for sure tho so this is just speculation

#

yeah

#

Otherwise wed be rich by timing market

summer osprey
#

I think rh has the best leadership tho

undone basin
#

ah kms I should’ve went rh last year

#

maybe they’ll interview me next year

#

I want like js hrt or smth tho

#

220k is barely any tc

#

You need to hold the stocks to get any value tho

#

yeah true

#

yeah true

#

js option prob better

#

I need to lock in for quants next yr

#

yea

#

🙁

#

im at hypsm and have prev faang+ and incoming faang+ so i can get the ints

#

i just need to pass them

summer osprey
undone basin
summer osprey
#

Ah

#

I mean

#

If ur a soph

undone basin
#

nah im a junior rn

summer osprey
#

Yeah if you had both options junior year

#

Id go rh

#

Rh doesn’t

#

Nah

#

It was a mistake

undone basin
#

This is what im planning to do

#

Allows me to apply to quant internships

#

if I get an offer for internship, id extend grad by 1 sem to be eligible for the internship

#

If no offers id just grad normal time and take my RO for ft

#

bb or pingerest

#

I think

#

BB would be better if i want quant, but since im already at a target school (hypsm), it doesn’t matter for me that much

#

i passed screen for cit, they didn’t make me do the oa bc they said my resume was good but I failed the tech

#

so rip

#

im gonna start prepping like next month for the upcoming summer apps

#

and see if i can land an internship

#

yes true, but i think for FT it’s a little bit better

#

if i get a good org / team

#

if i do bb intern but don’t end up getting quant intern, id have to return to bb which I think < pints

#

yeah agree

#

by setting the start date to be after the internship ends?

#

yeah im planning to do that somehow, that way if i somehow get the quant internship but dont get a RO from it

#

then i can go back to FT

#

i wonder if like technically

#

i do the internship senior summer

#

without extending my head

#

grad*

#

so I graduate and then do the internship

#

it’s technically not allowed

#

but like I wouldn’t be able to start my FT job If I had 1 semester left still

#

my school does a 4+0 masters

#

I wouldn’t apply to ng ngl

#

process is too long and competitive compared to intern

#

hm fair

#

But don’t need to worry abt ros which is nice

#

yeah maybe ill try

#

I feel like not that many tech r better

#

in terms of tc wlb

#

I’ll prob try rh again next yr

#

Oh yeah

#

Blox

#

Blox has rejected me all 3 yrs after oa

#

😍

#

yeah idk how they take ppl

#

blox would definitely be generational pull tho

#

Company rsu / growth is p useless for me tho bc id sell immediately 95% of the time

#

Unless it goes up before it vests

#

oh fr

#

Hm didn’t know that

#

I heard they have fairlife 42g protein shakes for free

#

my type of workplace

#

🙏

#

I guess ill see what happens next yr

#

ur incoming ft plaid right

#

did u intern last yr

#

oh fire

#

plaid ng?

#

insane work

#

did u try recruiting for quants?

#

oh how come

#

It feels like you’re a grinder

#

Hm fair

#

I’d only consider like a handful of firms tbh, like js, hrt, maybe optiver, 2s maybe, and then like maybe 1-2 others

#

so the ones that are generally better wlb

#

but still p good pay relative to tech

#

yeah 😞

#

650k swe and 40-45 hrs wlb

#

I think you make it 700-1M tc at JS by year 5, and after that it diverges but most people sit around that for the rest of career

#

unless Giga cracked or work more

#

this is what js said themselves btw

#

yeah fair

#

I think if u get one of the places I mentioned it’s worth it

#

rest of them have poor wlb to tc ratio compared to tech and other shops

#

so not as worth

#

yeah I agree

#

im gonna lock in and try for js next summer

#

and then see what happens ig

crystal radish
#

Oh okay I see

crystal radish
#

Like less than 10k difference

#

Datadog is also public

#

Yea lol

#

I think rh is higher growth but worse wlb

#

Datadog is a little slower but rly good wlb

#

Not sure which one has better res val

#

Also in ur opinion how do both compare to google and stripe? I’m in Google tm and stripe intv process

#

Hmm okay

#

Yea I agree

#

Stripe tc is also more if I’m not wrong

#

I think Google name brand is like the best out of all

#

I don’t mind not getting nyc for stripe

#

But for Google, I’ve been told it can be rly slow

#

And growth can be limited

#

But also been told, exit opportunities r like unlimited

#

Yea true

#

I agree

#

Yea fair

#

I also do have one prev faang on res

#

Yea

#

Just wanna avoid reneging

#

Bc I was referred to a lot of these companies

#

Also don’t want to burn any bridges

#

Never know if I wanna go back

#

Yea

#

Bro the fact that Google tm is so late is actually annoying

#

So I’ve talked to engineers at basically every company I’m in the process for besides Robinhood

#

Tryna find people I can to

#

But I have talked to some interns. Everyone said they rly enjoyed

#

Yea prob will do, just ideally don’t want to

summer osprey
#

Google > stripe > rh > dd

#

If u end up with all offers

#

I think I would personally enjoy working at rh over stripe tho

summer osprey
crystal radish
summer osprey
#

Should not be a factor

crystal radish
#

If this is the case, I’m just confused why Datadog is winning poll

crystal radish
summer osprey
#

Because it’s something the average consumer actually uses

crystal radish
summer osprey
#

No

crystal radish
#

Any idea why Datadog is winning poll? I understand why Robinhood might be better that dd, confused abt what people think dd does better than rh

summer osprey
#

Because cscd is rotted

crystal radish
#

Oh okay lol

summer osprey
#

They think working on a dev tool is better than 150b fintech giant

#

Also rh has bad publicity from the 2021 short squeeze

crystal radish
#

Hmm okay

#

Yea I’ll prob just accept and renege if needed

#

Appreciate all the advice yall

summer osprey
#

I doubt anyone outside of cs community could name a single product that stripe makes

#

Much less used it

undone basin
#

I can’t even name what stripe does

#

all ik its a button that’s there sometimes when you try to pay

#

idk anything else about stripe

#

💀

delicate belfry
quick eagle
#

everyone knows what robinhood is

#

ngl i havent seen a stripe paywall in a while

crystal radish
#

better than robinhood

#

i would say same level as stripe and google

#

but some people might disagree

wraith grove
#

datadog

#

200k ng tc

#

top tier wlb

#

in nyc

#

that's the life man

deep star
#
