Hi!
EF is quite good
are u trollied?
hi
But it’s different to YC
Nvm I didn’t see
Drunk?
Nice to meet you
orz
hello
Pubs
do people actually drink that much
I don’t drink but it’s more like casual than in the US?
Ireland maybe
its pretty casual here
chiz are we going bar hopping this summer
ong
Dude I just saw my friend go to shop at midnight to grab cans of Guinness
Worried for her
we gonna get plastered proper
W moves
I have unironically seen her walking around with two cans of Guinness in her hands
Drinking both
check in
Walking home from uni
A fine lass
But I think it’s more like accepted than in the US
our high school electronics teacher took us to the pub
wtf
thats crazy lol
you’d be able to sue the teacher if they did that here
oh ye ig its allowed over there at 16
Uh I did but that’s not relevant
nah like uniforms are crazy
only like super private schools have them here
It’s so that the poor and rich look the same
aren’t there still like obvious differences
like how many you have
quality of accessories
It’s not that deep
it’s just moving to more micro versions of wealth expression
I liked having a uniform
what was it like
Cause you felt part of a collective
khakis and a white shirt?
What is the British hood called
Suit and tie and dress shirt and trousers
Council estate
i don’t think i’ve ever worn a tie in my life
Have you watched Harry Potter
yeah
oh
Was a prefect
is that like the bible over there
british school sounds so cool
We supervised queues sometimes
In exchange for skipping lunch queues
And other stuff
ye same
To
well not like us
Huh
but it happened
Yeah guns are illegal here mostly
^^
you’d also have the occasional assault and battery
kinda normal here tho
The most that happened in my school was some guy bought a knuckleduster in
knuckleduser 😭
the fuck is that
Tbf I went to a we’ll-behaved school
oh
back in middle school some kid brought a knife to try and cut off someone kids fingers
I just found out a few months ago
That my old history teacher
Got fired
For touching kids
same lol
i guess we have that in common
like actually
And chatting to them in the pub or something
😭
bro no way all 3 of us have pedo history teachers
I think maybe 1600 people across year 3 to year 13
wtf
oh wait do u guys have highschools and middle schools
the fuck
Yeah but mine was kinda combined
I mean
ye lol
i guess
200 ish in a year
7 to 11 is secondary school
12 to 13 is college
Uh it was an all boys school
I enjoyed it
is that normal there
But it kinda screws you up a tiny bit
that’s gotta suck ass
i can’t imagine going to a single gendered school
Eton, harrow, Wycombe abbey etc
that sounds so lame
I liked it
But it’s not everyone’s cup of tea
I had a model UN conference in year 10
And I got up to speak and tripped cause my legs were shaking
Cause there were girls in the room
😭
really
i’ve been shy around girls sure but never like shake my legs shivering
Model UN helped me a lot to like “meet girls”
NAH
But imagine like zero exposure
my school right now is like 70% women
ye lowk
chiz we’ve gotta meet a bunch of women this summer
ong twin
that sounds terrible
idk about meeting in the bus
I’d say I’ve adjusted well lol
but like generally it’s an important life skill
that sounds so funny
i can’t get over the model in thing
😭 😭
is that the method
Exposure therapy
whats model un
united nations?
oh
do you pull now
🤔
ur gonna be minted proper when u get optiver fgpba mate
i’ll take your word
optiver is known for having a looks hiring bar for female employees
it’s like a very well known sexist sorta thing
just to keep you posted
🤝🤝
I don’t need optiver to pull
is the job market bad over tehre
like is it as bad as the us
u wouldint know but likke
But yeah most people I know can’t get jobs
Like 300+ apps
But most people have no experience so
Kinda did it to themselves
300 apps to get a interview?
300 apps and not a job yet
im thinking thats a low amount
Few first rounds and OAs
but im brainwashed
ye thats true as well
All the tech companies are in the US as well
wheres the higest paying jobs there
this is prob crazy over there id imagine
But mostly London
Yeah insane
oh interesting
70k
LMAO
nah
not true
Yeah 35 gbp
oh
is that quid
no shot
well average for a reasonable company
like if ur working at bob and maria’s fish shop
maybe not
ye capone prob can save the avg person
either way
really
What do you guys have lined up?
american bank
or doxx me that’s ok too
joking
ah
we’re both trading interns too
no what he said was true
LARP central over here
no we are being deadass
Where
he also has a fall offer
WF or jp?
ye
ye
You have so few servers
Oh yeah sure why not
My team member got offered grad in Austin
i don’t like being in random places
why are u still in zonami
Whoa
Idk why he didn’t take it
woah
dude i’m the one who made zonami
orz
im too new gen for zonami
ibmnami is were its at
@signal loom would u move to netherlands for js
ye its a deadend thing
but still
pretty decent for what it is
glorified it work
He’d be stuck as an excel monkey
true
Masters
But only from Oxbridge or imperial
esp if u want to farm some internships
oh really
So internships is not as possible
Name
the whole of a masters here is to 2-3 more internships
.
Recruiter straight up told him
If you do a masters at imperial or Oxbridge we
Would reconsider you for SWE
Yep because getting into a top uni here is more about smarts and less about money
Every uni costs the same
wait thats dumb af
damn
sounds super elitist
No it’s a matter of smarts lol
It’s the opposite of elitist
Elitist would mean the richest people paying their way in
You can be poor and smart and get into Oxbridge or imperial
Btw who actually made this thread
Cause I found my questions
Can somebody @ whoever wanted help
kinda like school elitism
here its more hollistic in terms of waht procs u can get at a school
ye thats true
I don’t go to a crazy school and I got JS so it’s not super cut and dry
But my friend already got TDOE offer
They just meant that a good Masters would be the cherry on the cake ygm
6 flip flops
i see
To push him over the barrier from TDOE to swe-level
prob diff over there
tdoe pay here is still crazy
like 200k base + perforamnce + bonus
Its 300k right
Do all uk guys bop to esdeekid
ye
Oh my orzzzz
Is that tuff
but like its this for the rest of ur life
I need 300k
Bandz
300k bands?
ts guy the goat
😭
Am i tripping

When our school is number one for that
is that true
I dont think ive seen a black person on campus
no way u guys mog uc irvine

like
it should be pretty diverse
Its a snow storm
crazy
Other 20% is half white
Not my jam tbh
As a re-applicant
Not once you accept your offer
Isn’t Kanye banned from the UK

of my life

each is basically a smaller city of its own
idk much about queens tho
i went to the same school that spider man from spider verse went to

How
Did you post nudes online
then i emailed hr
and they said sorry we reorganized u can’t come here
and then i messaged hydro about accepting
FAHH
Dude
and then i messaged the other robotics thing i was in
You should just accept everything you get
and they said sorry we’re not looking for interns anymore
bro
Like hydro
Ah
i’ve been asking for the letter since feb
US sounds fucked
they said they need to confirm with whoever the fuck
but i checked in and they said sorry no can do
costco was the same
I guess all mine were established companies with established procs
That sucks
And then NVIDIA bought them out
Wait Ayman aren’t u ibm fall
So his offer got rescinded
no
Then he posted about it and NVIDIA gave him a full time
my interviewer don’t show up
and my recruiter said he’d rescheduled
then never did
Do you have evil eye on you
i doubt it
this is so sad
i think i’ve lost like 5 verbals this year
😭
albeit 2 of them were are shittier companies
I’ve never even heard of anybody losing a verbal here
Bro i cant even get to verbal offer stage
like i was stuck in my current stage for team match for 8 months
