For prestige OpenAI, idk how openai RO is but great resume boost.
op doesn't care ab stability
this is overrated tbh u can go anywhere from all faang+
where does it stand for resume value
or all the top faang+ at least
also cow is right here they pay the same as stripe/google/blox/db, give u trash work, and work u twice as hard
This is true but the probability ur resume gets picked up by other company is better
so cracked
Love you cow
but since OP's top priority is "prestige" and they dont care ab stability ig oai is the play here
i mean oai is a household name
They probably just gonna get bailed out by another company
its all g
is msft gonna bail em out
tbh they gotta step it up as well
chatgpt fell off
its losing user
claude better for code tasks
claude is much better for coding imo yeah but gpt has huge user base because most are non tech people just trynna talk to gpt for every day things like making food
or planning trips or someting
ye facts
i guess i still use gpt for general tasks but thats out of habit
i can totally use gemini as well
Ridebnb
crashing out cuz ur ai husband is gone
OpenAI
Huge prestige gap
RO is > 75
If it does not delay grad yes
They let me
Asked former interns
just push yeah
school is so useless
id do like 4 offseasons if i could
just spam classes and allocate more time
go to school and get the degree school is useless but degree is useful
my ee prof told me lwk just take easy cs classes so you get good gpa and just learn cs by yourself
School is useful LOL
You might more people in school than anywhere you ever will
he was an intern at citsec
Why is meeting more people ever bad?
i can meet 10 ppl from my college or i can meet a guy thats 10+ yrs older than me and can give me career advice
which is more helpful, its hard to say
lwk at internship more people aligned with ur goals
Depends what you prioritize honestly
take whichever but don’t push to fall, not gonna be in college again you’ll regret missing college in 5 years
why would u regret missing college to intern at oai 💀
U alr have databricks prestige difference isn’t that big
Life isn’t just about internships bro 😹😹😹
100% push if they let u
it's fairly significant, oai is top 3 in tech fs
but the ai bubble will burst and they're in debt !!!!!!!!!!!!
what are u doing in school that's more significant than db + oai
ur intern life can mimic alot of the good things that come out of college as well
helps that ur getting an extra buck
sure ur working a fair bit harder but thats the only tradeoff
friends experiences it’s an entirely different environment bruzz
an environment u won’t get again
Moot point you can meet ppl at ur internship
full sendy at the next frat party
fair point but i don’t think the social environment is similar at all
each to their own ig
but there isnt rlly much of a delta b/t what ud have at ur internship and school (not to mention that, in this case, this guy will be in an area with ppl around his age w/ the same interests)
and if there is its not like hes dropping out, he'll be back in school a few months later
how i see it is you will not get to be around your college friends and that community for a consistent period of time ever again, giving up that time only makes sense in extremes which I don’t think this case is
agree to disagree tho I think ur take is valid depending on what u value
This is false case: full list - "Akuna Capital, LLC"

idk one is having fun for a short period of time, the other is setting up your entire life
if u alr have money then sure do wtv
this is the cit list lol
im guessing they hold quant > faang > others
stripe is probably up there tho
the exact same? that's kinda hard to believe
"Deutsche Bank"?
Airbnb ngmi can’t be
"Intel"
I take this as official according to Google goat
Real ones know this
Nah Google goat had IMC
Google goat says otherwise
google >>> hrt?
I only listen to Google goat
bloomberg > google >>> amazon > quant
This is career suicide
i wil always glaze google <3
lmao this is a real list whether you guys want to believe it or not.
this has a lot of differences, and regardless if you ask GPT for a list of top tech/quant then its unsurprising that a good portion will be the same lmao
Airbnb ngmis salty theyre not included 
I would probably take OAI/anthropic over google
better career growth especially in ML/AI space which is my priority
but i dont think i have the necessary pre-req just yet to land good roles at those
for my priorities yes.
i mean this is equivalent to quant / top tech right
regardless the original list is real 🤷♂️
and airbnb isnt included 
i think c1 in contention for top tech
every company on the list i think is pretty solid
either top tech or fintech etc.
ive seen a lot of people go from c1 to quite good companies

wdym
Ok... well thats the full list that they use
I never said anything like that 😭
im just saying objectively this is the list
its one example of a list that a quant firm uses
im sure other firms have their own list
do what you want with the list
you are the one who is coping by insisting its fake 
just because airbnb isnt included != fake
.
grats on C1
thanks well i did get a c1 offer last year but turned it down. probably wont be going there unless all my current offers bust lol
u sold bro shoulda signed c1
I think i wouldve been fine if i had gone c1, was just a personal decision
i know a lot of people who got ML experience at c1
I think in this economy c1 >>>>> Google more interesting work and according to my priorities better
pov the 'prestigious' airbnb isnt included 
if you get like an e tier Google team this isnt even that crazy a take
especially if its just for intern
for fulltime if you care about TC and career progression then google probably overtakes just because c1 slow in that regard
My issue with this entire discord is people have 0 ability to think outside their own priorities. They think every career or life decision is obvious because they're all TC/prestige guided and can't even fathom that people don't care about tier lists as much as they do.
Man I told you wlb and you insisted it would be career suicide
because WLB is a crazy thing to prioritize right when you graduate college
same with TC
google janitor has better res value than c1
how is c1 in any regard better for career
Unless its a huge variation, optimizing for WLB/TC early career is a bad idea
google cafeteria worker has higher signal
its going to change so much in like a few years anyways
find a single recruiter who thinks c1 is even close
My issue with this entire discord is people have 0 ability to think outside their own priorities. They think every career or life decision is obvious because they're all TC/prestige guided and can't even fathom that people don't care about tier lists as much as they do.
yeah type shit
as it turns out, actual engineers care a lot about the work you do at companies. if you do cool ML infra work at c1 then yes that can be more valuable than frontend work or whatever at google
im not talking about the initial HR recruiters who just screen by company name
if you're optimizing for recruiters you're already down the wrong path.
plenty of people are lmao
OP, why don't u push OAI to fall
Only making 200k when all other majors are making 95k on the high end new grad it’s not unrealistic for wlb
dbx and oai on Resume is near godlike resume
dammit OP so cfaang
i mean cracked

nobody here retiring by 35 lmao
maybe this openAI guy if openAI does well
nobody else
bro for intern or even new grad do u think they gaf ab the work u did
u think new grad recruiting cares ab what work u did at c1?
... yes 😭
yes they absolutely do lmfao
google and cow; stop debating
You're lost
u pass the res screen via name

tons of companies have internal team match which depends a lot on previous work you've done...
bro if u think the work u did in ur 3 month internship
matters more than the company name
ur tripping
its a balance between the two
but thinking work is irrelevant is dumb af
intern work u did is <<<<<<< company name
for new grad
not saying later on
or even midlevel

agree with Google here; the work you have kinda influence your res WHICH influence your ng team
ngl
yes this is what im saying. HR recruiters wont care but the people placing you on teams / engineering managers etc. absolutely care
balance between the 2 tbf
yep exactly
in any world do u think c1 good team intern is better than a shit team google intern
for new grad recruiting
I knew a crud staff at Meta , tried hard to internal transfer to dist system but got flatout reject
so all life crud
staff

were talking about intern
if u guys think a shit google team intern < a good c1 team intern
ur all wilding
if you do shit work at google then chances are you'll get placed at shit work in whatever company you go to next
but it influence you in a way, u gotta steer your wheel real hard if u want to jump to a senior/staff team when u're crud junior
we're talking about intern right?
bro ppl usually do diff shit thru all their interns
all of mine were diff

we're not talking about being a staff speciailzed in some shit
were talking about intern dawg
okay, but isn't work just complete rng
if you get dogshit work, how do you land on a good team
in the same company
yeah
most internships ur TM is random too
so ur saying
even if u land a top internship ur cooked for life and < c1 cuz u get unlucky
this is such a dumb argument
huh
if u guys think any c1 team intern > google ur tripping
it's random if u believe it's random; im ain't debating
No, its just an argument where there's nuance involved. which you seem to not be able to understand
its a balance like we've said multiple times
there's no absolutes
any google team > c1 team for intern
yes, balance
thats an absolute
95% of the time sure, there will always be exceptions
bro what exception
frontend android google < ml inference system c1
yep
u think doing android at an internship holes u into mobile?
my friend did mobile at his last intern and is at IMC now
that is literally polar opposite

Here's another example @true crow . put aside major tech companies, think about specialized startups. you think they care more about your frontend work at google or your ML ifnra work at c1 which aligns exactly with their work?
what team at IMC ?
another person with 0 capability to understand nuance. i said for me and my priorities yes
no?
i just said everyone shouldnt optimize too much on WLB thats it
but any list i say is for me
idfk hes incoming NG
let me guess, ur friend intern as mobile at Meta and studies at ivy league
with 4.0 GPA + research (?)
no, unknown school and did mobile at a tier 2
fintech

also, there's different aspect of mobile
mobile can care about memory and speed too
ok the whole point is
ur not holed in by ur internship work
u dont need low level or speed work for quant swe either
at new grad...
that's true , but I believe that's 50% of the fit
u just need to get interview, pass interview, pass culture fit during calls
You implied that I would achieve nothing
let's say u interview, and your interviewer ask. what did u do in your internship.
yeah u dont need a relatable or relevant internship project
most of the time ur interviewers arent even the same team
u place into
if you have to talk about your bum ass internal tooling then you can easily get stack ranked out
compared to other candidates with better technical experience
its not just get past HR then pure leetcode bar
for NG at least the project discussion is 99% about ur technical knowledge and showing u actually know what ur talking ab
not if its relevant to their work
r u ng?

im saying this as someone who just went thu (and a lot of friends too) the ng hiring
this year
for which companies
oh, what team did u end up with
amazon/meta/db/etc. wont care but theyll take anyone
they did t1 quant + elite startups
including decagon, harvey, sierra, etc.
i did one or two of those
ok and my guess is they all had interesting previos work
idk like i said
i didnt even get my team yet
for the offer i signed
its not that deep lol
well the thing is, I agree name matter but like there's balance between the 2
If they had terrible work then they prob wouldn't have landed all that 
mobile -> imc ft
mobile is pretty shit
IMC deadass takes anyone 
i got IMC intern with barely relevant anything
not even planning on taking
the convo started with c1 good team
another q is do they have referral
do u think c1 gets imc
no
absolutely
i think c1 can get imc
c1 even get old mission
so what ru talking about
then c1 can get any
besides startup
or t1 quant
but google can

huh
name matters more than work only at the beginning imo, then work matters more
thats what i said
but they think c1 top team > google
c1 top team > google shit team yes
cuz c1 is known
i mean theres been many no prevs -> t1 quant
exceptions
like i said , balance
yeah
t1 quant aint all that lmao
jane street will interview a ton of people
same with HRT tbh
so tf u tryna prove then 😭
100% theres multiple c1 -> jane street
ngl c1 crackde
so that you have a higher chance to get interesting work at your new place
the point is if c1 and google can get anything, u should do what u like
and for specialized startups its better
💀
yeah exactly
zon oa perf no response
bro asked what companies i got interviews with

I never said that
i just said c1 -> t1 is absolutely possible
most decent tech -> t1 is possible
?
what u want me to do then
start my own 1B startup
😭
we were talking ab NG recruiting and ur saying t1 quant aint all that
sorry im not elon musk bro
😭
im just saying this lacks a lot of nuance
and choosing c1 over google isnt that crazy
now ur actually ragebaiting
bro really asked me what interviews i got for NG
💀
depending on what team u land ofc
and then flames t1 quant
so here's the thing, let's say you got t1 quant ; then when placing your team, they will be like :
- c1 ml inference -> engine execution team
- google android fe -> fullstack swe imc
so what do u choose
yeah exactly
getting imc and tier 1 quant is GREAT
💀
i never flamed it, im just saying c1 and google both easily get quant processes. t1 quant isnt some mythical thing that only ex-google land
bro idt theyll think ur a fucking ML specialist from ur 3 month c1 internship dawg
💀
if theyre deciding between multiple candidates to place team then how tf do u think theyre deciding 💀
you think they just pick randomly
holy shit everyone here is so dumb
i cant
smh, im just saying go with something u like if 2 company are similar or even if 1 even less
the team matters but so does the company name bro
when the gap is too big liek c1 and google
idt it matters
i don't think c1 and google gap are too big
💀
💀
grats on c1
5 people all get offers at jane street or citadel or whatever, how do you think they decide who gets the infra team vs frontend team vs execution. like seriously
i agree with crystalize here
at least 2 tiers different bro

you guys are actually so naive
tho c1 and goog might be a bit too big of a gap i agree with his point
ok sure but im making a general argument that work and name both matter even for intern->ng
yep agree totally
i also said for c1 vs google, 95% of the time google is better
idk why people are disagreeing lol
yeah no clue
ok this isnt true breh
dumbass point, the whole point was getting the interview
slave at google > ml infra at c1
all google team > c1 team cuz its google not cuz team
its not just about getting the interview... HR people are oblivious
also this server is heavily brainrotted against c1 but in actuality c1 gets u interviews and past screens and has general prestige to recruiters, same witih amazon
many top exits from c1
yep
infosys ml infra vs google fronend bro
this i agree
same with amazon, memed("zonami" bla bla) but actually gets you things
yeah 100%
so u personally ur taking a top team at c1 > a shit google team for intern?
this i agree too
changing the design of google watch?
Same with bnb

point of internship is also to learn and get relevant experience guys lmao
its not only about the future exit
yea, it's swe
but all u do is fe
they will frame it software engineer
INTERN


🥀
I still don’t get the bnb hate just because you lwk glaze Google a whole ton
i dont hate bnb
just larp
or you can do this
well depends on team again
🔥🔥🙏
whole point is
yeah true, if you're willing to lie then none of this matters
to an extent u can talk more abt what ur team does beyond ur frontend intern project
or u can ask to incorporate ai into it
but google most likely does
and then every company will want u
places worse than c1 can still get interviews practically everywhere 💀
no shit u can bring up anecdotal evidence of anything
if u think 100 people with c1 are getting same results as 100 people with google
ur fucking braindead
i dont buy this
💀
yeah
well ofc googles better im not saying its not
oh hey @true crow , i know where to get Google on resume
search "Google for Developers" program
💀💀💀
MLH meta larp >>>
anything is possible
even frontend c1
he prolly woulda got js without c1 lol
if u go to any t5 u can get free quant int
i totally didnt do this
u so cracked, got multiple quant interviews?

idt c1 helped for this ye
whats the point of this lol
frontend, scripting
u can find anecdotal evidence of anything
see how many ex googlers work at anth vs ex c1 lol
since ur spending all that time searching on linkedin
im not arguing c1 > google id be the last person to say that...
remember for refernece id easily take google > quant
💀
ok... no one said you're cooked if u take c1
we're saying ur cooked if u take c1 over any google
what
this is just wrong unfortunately. there's always nuance to everything
u will never regret taking google but u might regret taking c1
right bro so if something is 99% right imma say its a toss up bc theres nuance
braindead
oai vs db thread indeed guys
yes
nothing is objective
right bro oai vs c1 theres a 0.001% chance u get murked cuz ur in sf crime rates
so toss up guys
google over c1 is 95%-99% right yeah

average CSCD user
also G i think you're kinda misunderstanding, in this case we're already in the 1% lol
if u just said blind google or c1
then ofc google
yeah exactly
but we're in the 1% that it's like crap crap goog and amazing c1 team for example so now it's actually a discussion
i agree with you that if it's just "c1 vs google" and someone goes c1 yeah id be like that's dumb
ngl guys i think this is a braindead way to waste a nice thursday afternoon
If I'm interested in ML work in the future, and i had the choice between frontend work at google or core, truly insane ML work at c1 then im taking c1.
let's hop off the internet
i mean yeah sure i agree but like for sake of conversation the point isn't you should take c1 over google or whatever the point is that both name and work matters for ng recruiting which is why this entire convo is even happening
and enjoy some fresh air

thou i would take google at the end of the day over c1
nah what else would u rather spend ur time doing
Yes its a hypothetical thats the point
We r talking about that case whether its happened or not isn’t relevant
enjoy some fresh air
welcome to discussion
i dont like the outside
TOUCH GRASS
This whole thing is a hypothetical...
fun to talk and think about?
hello jason, why are u a different cat now
hell naw wtf
its interesting to think about and talk about
This is literally a possible event u can’t tell me w a straight face no one has had this choice before
forgot we always had to maximize shareholder value around here 🥀
:3
Trust me bro
nah
are mfs forgetting that if u do good in a google internship u can get an RO and go to a different team thats NOT frontend
ur not stuckign doign frontend if u do intern
i mean im sure career decisions have been made on topics like this before at a closer scale. e.g maybe not that drastic but im sure people have picked 'worse' companies for better work in the past
Company name isnt everything
yeah exactly
sure but you'd have to go into team match. it isnt guaranteed compared to ur returning PA
im sure c1 ml will help u get deepmind bro
GDM/Gemini 
google is too bad, can't return to Deepmind so i go c1 ; bye
😭
shi id rather be in team match for google than re apply for intern / NG
where its almost impossible + more luck involved
🤷♂️ google team match, i can tell you 100% your previous work matters a TON for placement with teams
not having relevant experience makes it harder
this is like accepted knowledge
tell google that if u don't give me deepmind, i will make microsoft ai better
hosts literally choose people based on their prior experience...
💀
yeah sure if thats your priorities then it makes sense
r u incoming gg

For me my priority may be to do heavy ML work so id take that
im in TM right now. i matched to ads previouslt but turned it down since looking for more ML focused work
it doesnt have to come from a job does it, if it does then how do ppl ever do team transitions
i mean this is assuming i didnt land those
im sure theres more ways out than we think
it doesnt have to but makes it a lot easier
why turn down, if u aren't getting matched don't u get rescind ?
do you have other offer waiting to renege or smthn then?
yeah i have offers at IMC and stripe
holy cracked

but id take a good google team over both

Nah
i only wanna do during summer
i feel u
real af

bro want to study
sure
OAI
id say openAI but im ML biased obviously
db probably better wlb but like work at oai sounds fun af
opposite
and oai work is probably some forntend crud shit
i mean if its OAI frontend vs c1 inference...
what are db hours then lol

its still insane res value so id still oai > db tho
they just open fall recently
good boy
c1 inference all the way
c1 frontend all the way
No this is doomed
💀
This is career ending if you have a better choice
yet theres ppl out there where thats their only offer
so should they just ropemaxx then
?
oai ngl
i went to their sf office
this summer
it was hella nice
0 glaze
also pls take imc
fintech is fried icl
well if no other choice obv still do it
between IMC and stripe im not sure tbh
when are they moving to ubers old office
ideally i just get google gemini
but otherwise id have to decide
i dont like either too much
yeah i agree
qd? and dyk stripe team?
waterloomax
250 vs 140k
swe role yeah, dont want to dox too much more for either since ive already said a lot
ideally yea
well i was saying for intern not FT
dbx is glazed in this server
fair
might dm bc im curious lol
but neither team looks to be primarily ML focused
i wonder rentech swe vs google gdm...
google gdm tbh
yeah thats what i was thinking
rentech swe ; cuz they have the GIGANTIC and PRESTIGIOUS Medallion Fund
SWE might not even get to be part of it
yea, that's what im saying
the fund is 50% value
wait , no, everyone in rentech can invest in that fund
rip jim simons 
swe can too
oh wow
u must be employee thou

Google Director might not as rich as Senior swe in Rentech
maybe

they're def not lol
not even close
why does it go across like 5 threads 💀
crystalize is hijacking goat
ikr , Rentech has like 400-500 employees and the fund is 10 billions in $$$
💀💀💀
imagine
even entry level would outearn
prolly, but even standard new grad no competing is outearning by far just from medallion fund
i got timeout
bc i mention only f
💀
anw, i was saying maybe ng swe only f employees might even earn less than rentech ng

nah i got pinged in every thread i replied in
its plausible, ask ur recruiter
bro is him
genuinely tough pick imo, even though most would definetly say OAI
maybe im just biased idk
both open doors to literally 99.99% opportunites out there, so i doubt you'll loose anything picking one over the other
pick based on what you are more interested in
can u push oai to fall
hedge in what sense? ro rate?
Oai ro rate was decent last year pretty sure
Very similar to dbx, maybe a lil worse
it could change if fall which is the issue
Its unlikely and thats a question for recruiter anyway
Why is openai not considered as stable ?
they're losing tons of money with no path to profitability
is the ro tc any different from ng?
ADS
💀💀
last path
but no sign of profitability
Yeah fair point
bro took my fucking job
no one takes your job; ur just incompetent
like me

how do you even know you get dds ? i saw the job post dds is only for new grad
yeah
oai work is bad, much less interesting than db
All c1 teams gap
Oai I know had some of the interns do interesting infra work I think?
