umbral crystal
cloud fox
#

pearl kraken
#

congrats!!

dusty meadow
#

but usually they tell u right after

umbral crystal
#

he said HR would follow up with next steps plus I solved it with 30 min to spare…

cloud fox
#

maybe availability

umbral crystal
#

hmm ok

dusty meadow
#

how long ago was it?

umbral crystal
#

30 min ago

dusty meadow
#

oh

#

might be availability then not sure

#

just wait a day or two

cloud fox
#

was that first or second round

dusty meadow
#

theyll rej fast if it is

umbral crystal
cloud fox
#

like 2nd round in vo or 2nd total?

mystic kindle
#

is first round 2 days? been 48 hours and nothing yet is it over?

umbral crystal
#

First round VO 2nd total

cloud fox
#

might be cooked ngl

#

they asked me 2-3 leetcode questions in that first round to last 50 minutes

#

did you answer 1 or 2

umbral crystal
#

I know, guy joined late and gave me a med that I solved in 15 min and then asked me a “design” question which was pseudo system design and which he seemed happy with

#

So not exactly sure what exactly I could’ve done better

cloud fox
#

thats fucked

#

if you answered 2 then i feel like you should pass

#

weird

umbral crystal
#

how did it work for you? like did they send you a link to the next interview immediately lol

#

We ended 5 min late so not sure if that messes up scheduling, I don’t think jt should

cloud fox
#

nope same link

#

they just told em next intrerview was at x time at the end of each

umbral crystal
#

Oh like more people join

#

oh

cloud fox
#

yeah

umbral crystal
#

if that’s rej I won’t even be mad lol not like I could’ve done much better

pure shore
#

how does bloomberg rounds work, 3 rounds technical, then hiring manager and then engineering manager? is hiring manager just behavioral?

cloud fox
#

1round tecvhnical, then onsite of 2 lc plus hr, then rm

#

hr is just behavioral

#

Why cs why Bloomberg, project stuff

bright gale
#

Congrats!

#

How long does it take to get back after r1 usually? My interviewer said smth along the lines of ill submit feedback and hr should reach out w next steps and if u need them to expedite interviews because of competing offers let them know and im hoping this is a good sign but idk if i shld reach out to expedite

dusty meadow
#

2 business days

#

I didn’t expedite or anything tho so idk about that

bright gale
#

Got it ty and grats once again

dusty meadow
#

good luck king and ty

cloud fox
dusty meadow
cloud fox
#

dusty meadow
dusty meadow

opaque pilot
#

@cloud fox

cloud fox
#

Wasn’t your interview like 2 weeks ago

#

Everyone who had 30 and 31st is getting offers this week

#

Might still happen tho

opaque pilot
#

Mine is also on 12/31

cloud fox
#

Ohhh

#

Yeah you’re chill then

#

Nvm

#

I think I confused you with someone else

#

Dwbi

opaque pilot
#

Hope i will hear back soon

cloud fox
#

Hope so too

#

Gl

cloud fox
#

She offered me July yesterday and told me August was full

#

Now vice versa

#

They move fast

dusty meadow
#

people reneging and offers

#

cooked

#

koip also got aug today

dusty meadow
opaque pilot
#

Yeah but for me just about 3,4 business days

dusty meadow
#

ah

#

you might hear back next week tbh

#

i think they're rolling out a lot of mid dec calls this week

bright gale
#

Ig thats y there giving out r1s still

#

Seems like ppl r reneging

dusty meadow
#

yee

#

prob more renegs gonna happen in the spring

bright gale
#

Yes yes this shall continue😭

dusty meadow
#

big G gonna save us

pure shore
dusty meadow
#

2 round tech, 1 round hr

#

for the onsite

bright gale
#

R they harsher for onsite techs

#

And like is the bar higher for r3 than r2

dusty meadow
#

not sure

#

i think the bar is roughtly the same

bright gale
#

Bet bet

dusty meadow
#

idk r3 was lowkey my worst round

#

and apparently i had no neg feedback

bright gale
#

V good to hear

dusty meadow
#

so ig its just interviewer dependent...like it always is

bright gale
#

Yep

dusty meadow
bright gale
#

I think mine for r1 vibed w me but he was sorta strict

#

But at the end i asked a great q and he was v pleased

#

Hope all is good

dusty meadow
#

nice

#

honestly as long as u pass the prev rounds

#

i think ur chillin

#

like they wouldnt move u on if u failed them

bright gale
#

Fr right

#

Unless u completely bomb em

dusty meadow
#

yeah

#

my hr person did say they're more strict with ng hiring

#

in terms of strict bars to pass and stuff

bright gale
#

Ah gotchu

dusty meadow
#

so i think its safe to assume ur r1 chillin

cloud fox
pure shore
#

So we talk to the hiring manager after 2 onsite and then with an engineering manager. Is engineering manager round system design/resume grill? And hiring manager is just behavioral from what I understood

cloud fox
#

yup

bright gale
bright gale
#

Wasnt expecting it to be a hard ish problem thought it be a standard med

cloud fox
#

mine was so weird

dusty meadow
#

unlucky tbh

bright gale
#

But all g

cloud fox
#

not even leetcode

#

it was some bit stuff

dusty meadow
bright gale
#

I nailed most the logic he seemed p fine w it

dusty meadow
#

i got essentially 6 lc mediums across my techs

#

expect meds tbh

bright gale
#

Ye fs

dusty meadow
#

whens ur vo @bright gale

bright gale
#

J finished r1 today

dusty meadow
#

fire

bright gale
#

No idea if i passed but he said smth abt expediting at the end

#

And idt he wld say that if he j wanted to reject but we shall see

pure shore
#

Did you get asked C++? I think bb is heavily working with C++ since my interviewer worked with it even though they said they had no experience with it

dusty meadow
#

no

#

u can use any language

#

i used python for everything

pure shore
#

Also how do people negotiate with bb? Feels like everyone negotiated. Do they all actually have 200k TC competing offers 💀

pure shore
bright gale
#

Im p sure u can only negotiate bonus from what ive heard

dusty meadow
#

its only the bonus

#

u can nego up to 30k

#

but u need actual competing offer from what ive seen

#

returning interns get 30k

#

i think normal hires are 17k but it goes up after a year to 30k

pure shore
#

But do u have to have a competing offer that will be equivalent to the tc

dusty meadow
#

ye

#

u might be able to argue location conversion stuff

pure shore
#

Makes sense 🙏

cloud fox
#

i just made up an offer

#

they just ask for numbers

#

i got 30k bonus

cloud fox
pure shore
#

I swear i heard some people say they just made up some numbers for negotiations

#

But i thought i was tweaking

cloud fox
#

i made up numbers

#

yeah

#

super chill

pure shore
#

Lol that’s awesome ngl

#

Did u mention a company as well?

cloud fox
#

nope

#

dont do that

#

i just said something along the lines of i really value the experience offered by bloomberg but i have these offers for more money and would appreciate it if theyb narrowed the gap to make my choice easier

pure shore
#

Bet bet, is there a reason to not do that lol

cloud fox
#

dont need to do that

#

plus like what if they know their salary ranges

#

doesnt make sense

#

if they ask company just say nda

pure shore
#

Wait that’s smart

cloud fox
#

but they wont assk

#

they dont care

opaque pilot
#

@cloud fox do you know what is the difference between timeline of passing or failing em round?

#

or it depends?

cloud fox
#

no clue

#

@dusty meadow how long did you wait

opaque pilot
#

I see some people also interviewed on 30, 31/12 already heard back

dusty meadow
#

hmm

#

i wonder if i should ask then LOL

cloud fox
#

you should

#

more money

dusty meadow
#

man

dusty meadow
#

lowkey idk if its worth lying like that

opaque pilot
#

yeah long process but im not sure is it because of the holiday or not?

cloud fox
#

Yeah so who knows

#

I mean you just had it on the 31st

#

Not even 5 business days since I’m assuming new years is off

#

Just chill, it’s coming for you

pure shore
#

do you have any tips for engineering manager and recruiter round? Ik 2 techs on VO are going to be similar to 1st round

#

@cloud fox

cloud fox
#

Smile and wave

#

Just be someone that they want to work with

#

Be amicable and have rizz

dusty meadow
#

wait

dusty meadow
pure shore
cloud fox
#

Idk

cloud fox
#

That’s what I did

#

My em was giggling and kicking his feet

dusty meadow
#

w/e heard everyone ends up at the same money in a year anyways

cloud fox
#

Yeah bonus balances out

#

And if you’re starting August you only get 4/5 months of bonus

#

So not that much different really

dusty meadow
#

guess we ballin either way

cloud fox
#

We made it bro

#

Who cares

dusty meadow
#

bro said "we made it" like the gov aint takin half our salary 😭

#

but yeah, we did

#

grind paid off

pure shore
cloud fox
#

And it’s only like 1/3rd

#

#

Yeah they’re calling to tell you they wasted their time interviewing you and you’re a disappointment
