apple vs coinbase vs nvidia

[empty rampart]

not apple

is nvidia a pigeonhole?

and at coinbase can you get low level?

[pliant arch]

tech stack is. in golang

so it is desirable

[pliant arch]

seems like it to me

[empty rampart]

nvidia is better for quant

but coinbase is better overall

apple is not even in the conversation

colorado

[pliant arch]

im going to see if i can push to fall nviida

[empty rampart]

what is nvidia ro?

any idea

[pliant arch]

no clue

[empty rampart]

i know nvidia tc progression is not good

[pliant arch]

yea

i think i take coinbase

see if ic an push nvidia off cycle

[empty rampart]

i think you do both

[pliant arch]

it is a gpu team tho

[empty rampart]

nvidia team is cool

and coinbase ro is not the best

[pliant arch]

wym i do both

lol

[empty rampart]

fall

nvidia

[pliant arch]

o

if they let me

that would be so peak

[empty rampart]

yup

[zenith viper]

I’d say Apple cus shit it’s Apple but obviously fucking nvidia is there to

Damn bro how the hell did you end up w these 3 options

[empty rampart]

apple is not that good 💀

[zenith viper]

Why are we lying 😭

[empty rampart]

i am serious

they dont pay good money

also fast track to get pigeonholed in apple

[zenith viper]

It’s not about the money! It’s about the experience!

[empty rampart]

its about the growth

apple pigeonholes fast

[zenith viper]

Yes we all work there for free

But deadass pick nvidia

[empty rampart]

lol

[noble nova]

do yk the ro rate for the nvidia team

[zenith viper]

0%

[noble nova]

🕊️

[pliant arch]

nope

i have no clue

[empty rampart]

nvidia ro is usually 80+%

they dont pay though

[pliant arch]

i think they do

i heard levels is bugged

go thru the recent first year salaries

they are like

240k+

bc of stock

its like forward vesting

[empty rampart]

its around 200

but growth is bad at nivida

[cinder flame]

bro u ask this every week 😭

[pliant arch]

go cb or nvidia

apple ngmi

also colorado is bummy

[empty rampart]

this is a really easy decision imo

nvidia if you like the work a lot

else cb

[cinder flame]

bro any cuda team gaps cb im ngl

[empty rampart]

pigeonhole no?

[cinder flame]

oh no i’m pidgeonholed into ml infra or quant

[empty rampart]

ig depends but to make money you need to gtfo out of nivida

[cinder flame]

right… landing a job w/ prev nvidia is impossible fr

[noble nova]

skills r transferable af as well

I think he will be fine man

[vernal lotus]

wow really?

[empty rampart]

yeah i think i was wrong about the pigeonhole

he will be good

[empty rampart]

i was looking at this from a pure money perspective

i know 3 engineers at coinbase and 2 are making 500k and one is at 400k all with 4.5 yoe

[cinder flame]

cb prob safer?

[empty rampart]

nvidia is better though

for quant and ai labs

[cinder flame]

cb also safer than hrt tho

yk

[pliant arch]

cb isnt safe

[cinder flame]

like at some point you gotta have a little ambition

[empty rampart]

cb is not safe 💀

its like meta

[pliant arch]

bro

imo

netflix is safe

nvidia is safe

not cb

[empty rampart]

netflix and google

[pliant arch]

or meta

[empty rampart]

are the safest

[pliant arch]

yea

[vernal lotus]

is the wlb good too?

[cinder flame]

whats cb ro i thought it was decent

[empty rampart]

~60

[empty rampart]

40-50 hours

[vernal lotus]

not bad

[empty rampart]

it is remote

[vernal lotus]

isnt DB ro rate gonna be low this year cuz increased intern cohort

[empty rampart]

yes

not by much though

i would say around 75

[vernal lotus]

wait really

but i swear the cohort size doubled

[cinder flame]

they’re also expanding a lot

[vernal lotus]

oh fair

[empty rampart]

yeah

[cinder flame]

they just raised like 4b

[weak fjord]

@pliant arch are you writing cuda code for the libraries

[pliant arch]

they said yea

they created liek the cufileread apis

[weak fjord]

matches or a little lower than google

RO is decent \

[pliant arch]

like

gpudirect

team

[weak fjord]

i got RO but i was on a dgx cloud team

don't know about that

[pliant arch]

o nice

[weak fjord]

i've heard nightmares about code quality for gpu libraries

but might not be what ur working on exactly

you'll pass oai res screen easy

with nv

[pliant arch]

how abt w coinbase

[weak fjord]

nv is nowhere near this good eyah

[pliant arch]

cuz i j applied to oai w cb on the res

lmfao

i alr got rej jane street w CB

[weak fjord]

not sure but almost everyone ik at nvidia could pass res screen

ik like 3 peole from my class who got jane street with prev nvidia

1-2 guys who got oai

[pliant arch]

ok

yeah nvidia the move fs

[weak fjord]

yeah only issue is the comp not keeping up

[pliant arch]

i’ll see if they can push fall first

[weak fjord]

ft

[pliant arch]

well yea i want use nv as a stepping done

stone

regardless it’s rlt good

[weak fjord]

oh u said high ro/high tc as well

yeah

id advise nv

might meet you there when i start working ft lol

[pliant arch]

hopefully

✌️✌️✌️

[empty rampart]

this is mainly due to hc

cb will get you all quant processes easily

but nvidia is better

for quant solely

[pliant arch]

the fall opening

i think lol

[empty rampart]

you will get process with either

dont worry about that

both are faang+

[pliant arch]

ok i see

thx

[empty rampart]

even apple will get it

[pliant arch]

i also might even have sierra

for fall

[empty rampart]

what team

[pliant arch]

agents

[empty rampart]

do you think its interesting?

[pliant arch]

but theyre telling me to kinda wait until fall

yea

and they pay alot lol

[empty rampart]

paper no?

[pliant arch]

nono

its only paper??

[empty rampart]

no like half is paper i assume

or a good portion

cause they are private

[pliant arch]

yea

thats good

$180K – $200K • Offers Equity

for new gead

[empty rampart]

ok yeah probably around 250-300

[pliant arch]

this is like 240-250k tc

i think

[empty rampart]

range

yes

[pliant arch]

yea

and i think it has huge potential

so i want to intern there before i graduate

[empty rampart]

for summer any of these companies will get you the processes

choose where you want to work

[pliant arch]

yea

[empty rampart]

did you apply to jane street fall?

and get reject?

[pliant arch]

yea

[empty rampart]

what school

[pliant arch]

well i dont know if it was summer or not

i would say

[empty rampart]

no like are you at a co-op

like waterloo

[pliant arch]

nono

[empty rampart]

they only take co-op kids

[pliant arch]

maybe thats why

[empty rampart]

for fall

[pliant arch]

oh

shi

ok nvm

[empty rampart]

yes

[pliant arch]

nice nice

[empty rampart]

did sierra come out yet for fall?

[empty rampart]

both

they both have light screens

any big tech will get jane street process

including amazon

[pliant arch]

nah

i emailed

[hexed leaf]

Do they take soph or junir only?

[sick oriole]

can any one say hw to crack a job???

[pliant arch]

huh

[empty rampart]

junior for swe any for qt

[quaint scarab]

What does this mean

[quaint scarab]

Is nvidia better if swe intern or meta pe intern for quant pigeonhole

[quaint scarab]

Ive heard some teams pay 225k+

[quaint scarab]

Dont quant recruit from meta alot also tho

[crimson axle]

@pliant arch peep dm

[gloomy moon]

i see you say pigeonhole alot what does that even mean

[pliant arch]

it means to niche in on a subset of roles

[empty rampart]

both equal

both will get you all process

[buoyant schooner]

Coinbase would be cooler

[quaint scarab]

really? I thought meta is a pipeline more

[empty rampart]

pipeline doesnt mean anything

they both will get you the process

meta is more of a pipeline because they hire more

[weak fjord]

you also gotta look at the # of swes at both places

[empty rampart]

yes this is also true

[rigid pumice]

May I ask how your interview proc was with Nvidia? I passed the first round whcih was basically a resume screening but I have no idea what to expect for the second or third round, if there is a third even

[wild ginkgo]

Why?

I'm trying to decide between Microsoft & Apple rn

[crimson axle]

pinterest is WAY WORSE than apple i guarantee u that
