Hedge if I do poly

#

Polymarket tc circa 300k?

Google better hedge than any other

strange jasper Feb 26, 2026, 6:21 PM

proven tangle Feb 26, 2026, 6:21 PM

strange jasper Feb 26, 2026, 6:22 PM

#

Im a 2nd year at the moment, and I would also like to recruit foundational labs again

#

I did xAI onsite and aced my techs

static magnet Feb 26, 2026, 6:23 PM

#

Dumb af tho

#

To ghost

strange jasper Feb 26, 2026, 6:23 PM

#

I saw my r2 (not onsite)

#

HM

#

and he said his team hired some guy already

#

so I got put on some SG lang team with a russian math PhD

#

and got railed for my r3

static magnet Feb 26, 2026, 6:23 PM

#

Makes sense

#

Unlucky

strange jasper Feb 26, 2026, 6:24 PM

#

Btw, I made it extremely explicit I have no wishes to work on their reasoning team

#

it is hwatever

static magnet Feb 26, 2026, 6:24 PM

#

It’s chill u would’ve had to dropout anyway no

strange jasper Feb 26, 2026, 6:24 PM

#

Yes

static magnet Feb 26, 2026, 6:24 PM

#

Yeah it’s a blessing in disguise

strange jasper Feb 26, 2026, 6:24 PM

#

but I was going to drop out for spring/summer and push google to fall

#

then quit

#

xAI

#

after ~ 6 months

static magnet Feb 26, 2026, 6:24 PM

#

strange jasper Feb 26, 2026, 6:25 PM

#

I go to a mid college so I need res value

strange jasper Feb 26, 2026, 6:25 PM

#

static magnet they’re doing some weird shit with the merger too hella layoffs

static magnet Feb 26, 2026, 6:26 PM

#

Do google and PM

#

Don’t dropout unless u rly have to just finish it ur almost done anyway right

#

Or just take online classes

strange jasper Feb 26, 2026, 6:26 PM

#

Yes

#

I wont ever dropout

#

though for me I believe my college harms me for raising funding

#

U have good options anyway rn bro

#

Def strive for better but it’s great what u have already

#

Esp as 2nd year

strange jasper Feb 26, 2026, 6:28 PM

#

ye

#

of course

#

I also will likely just do 1 more cycle of HFT and otherwise just dip

#

depending on circumstance

static magnet Feb 26, 2026, 6:29 PM

#

Is ur problem the stack rank or getting interview

strange jasper Feb 26, 2026, 6:29 PM

#

stack rank

#

getting interview is not an issue

static magnet Feb 26, 2026, 6:29 PM

#

Does referral help at all w stack rank?

strange jasper Feb 26, 2026, 6:29 PM

#

I do think so

#

with getting

#

interview

#

though not surving a stack rank

static magnet Feb 26, 2026, 6:29 PM

#

Heard one of my buddies get referral from CTO I’m sure it might’ve helped

strange jasper Feb 26, 2026, 6:29 PM

#

I think the important thing is timing

#

being not too early

#

and not too late

versed nebula Feb 26, 2026, 6:35 PM

#

strange jasper prediction markets yea

Did u do backend interview?

strange jasper Feb 26, 2026, 6:38 PM

#

Im on iOS

#

but I can do backend infra

#

if I want

#

than snap? yes

#

I do think coinbase is like

#

not bad compared to google

#

its probably better

#

if u solely care about tc

#

Google Andromeda

#

/Cloud Networking

#

I have two hosts

#

strange jasper Feb 26, 2026, 6:47 PM

#

my recruiter said that I can do swift stuff for front-end then work on engineering in backend

#

it is essentially full-stack.
