Pinterest vs Bloomberg vs Keep Recruiting (Amazon, OpenAI, Klaviyo, etc)

[gilded peak]

Pinterest:

• Offer is REMOTE
• Platform org (AI, Infra, Distributed Systems)
• Recruiter said I’d be working in backend
• 9900/mo.
• Can go into any office I want, but they won't provide relo or reimbursement.
• 1k stipend for buying monitor, chair, etc. additionaly $150/mo stipend for wifi and $150/mo for health.

Bloomberg:

• Did final and it went well, so expecting offer to be honest since aced all rounds and vibed well with interviewers. Would be in person in NYC.

Amazon, OpenAI, Klaviyo: all oa stages

Last or possibly second-to-last internship if I take a gap semester. Ideally don’t want to be remote for an internship, I asked recruiter for in person but may not get it. I have no preference for location, and I don't care about being in NYC but remote is kinda iffy.

Priorities:
Growth/Learning >= Resume value > RO >= TC

Yes, but they don’t cover relo or provide any reimbursement

so if I want to live in like sf, I’d have to pay myself out of pocket from the salary they provide (9900/mo)

anything you want to specialize in? do u know bbg team

[gilded peak]

no, but Pinterest org / backend is what I prefer

[vague kindle]

i would take pinterest and keep recruiting then, would u take amazon > pinterest?

[gilded peak]

I also have no preference for NYC vs SF, etc btw

[gilded peak]

Possibly

Might try to push amazon to off season if that ends up happening

[boreal bone]

def pinterest bro

[vague kindle]

i feel like pint and bbg > amazn

idk tho

i would take bbg over amazon for sure

[boreal bone]

bloomberg growth is stagnant over time and pinterest tc is higher

[gilded peak]

But remote though agh

[boreal bone]

bro fuck amazon if u pick that over bbg or pinterest for full time ur stupid

[pliant rock]

Arent u tryna do quant

Bb better then?

[boreal bone]

who cares they have a san francisco office other office (i forgot where)

just go there bro

for pinterest

[gilded peak]

i can get int from school and prev alone idt I need bb

[boreal bone]

exactly bro

also ur team is cracked

for pinterest

[gilded peak]

idk team, only org

I would definitely live in sf if I had relo. If no relo then unsure, might go to chicago lmao.

[boreal bone]

tc is high and im guessing promo wont be bad as well since ur not in a bot team

[gilded peak]

this is for internship

[boreal bone]

org

[vague kindle]

bbg RO is near 100

idk about pinterest

[gilded peak]

hm

there's a chance this might not be my last internship, but the chances of that are like 30-40%

so i guess ro is still a factor

@glacial musk

lol bro already showed up

before ping

yeah im gonna apply to intern

will list grad date as dec 27 and recruit for intern, and if I get an offer ill take a gap semester. If no intern offer, grad normal time in may 27.

why? there’s a chance i can do an off season internship if i land smth

hm

maybe

i can land ints etc for quant even with my current resume

If pins was in person I’d accept it over bb rn

Remote throwing me off. A little

Yeah i emailed her after my call

she hasn’t replied yet

I have 2 days to accept it lol

[shadow flare]

zon ro chance is def higher

[vague kindle]

RO offer rate is bbg > zon > pint

not the best metric to go off of but is still not bad

[gilded peak]

Got a response from the Pinterest recruiter

Hi X,

Unfortunately, we don't have any more in person options for our internship this summer.

[vague kindle]

do both at the same time 🥀

[gilded peak]

What to do?

[gilded peak]

is this possible

[pulsar delta]

Yeah since Bloomberg has no work and Pinterest is remote

[vague kindle]

risky

but ye

[gilded peak]

Lmao

okay I’d rather no take the risk

should i just take pins

[vague kindle]

5 years from now, big tech or quant?

[gilded peak]

quant if it’s js/hrt

otherwise maybe tech

[pulsar delta]

The answer is Pinterest anyways

[vague kindle]

yeah just take pinterest and keep recruiting if ur more interested in them

[gilded peak]

alr

obv if i somehow land oai swe intern then take it over everything else, right?

[empty shale]

I’m taking js

[vague kindle]

oai resume val is insane

gets proc at every single company

[empty shale]

we are all taking js

[vague kindle]

ur still crudbobbing and 996ing

also the multi millionaire thing is if ur not pipped by then

still insane resume val tho

[late axle]

I’ve heard the crudbob thing is untrue and interns do real work

And ft swes

[vague kindle]

real value is done by the research team tho

ye true

would u take oai over autopilot

[meager parcel]

accept pins and keep recruiting is the obvious option

[bronze garnet]

wow congrats @gilded peak

[gilded peak]

ty bro i made it out

🥲

[cyan agate]

lol

[gilded peak]

Accepted Pinterest and likely dropping out of oai process bc I kinda don’t wanna do it

[boreal bone]

Don’t drop out. No regrets in the future

[gilded peak]

Eh idk

[fleet violet]

klaviyo is at hc btw

[fair widget]

u said u r putting growth/learning at equal terms w/ res value?

if you get oai i'd prob consider going there tbh just for the amt of opportunities itll open compared to the rest

[glacial musk]

no just do oai
