#

or is this another technical

grand patio Oct 14, 2021, 5:37 PM

#

there's an interview after onsite WazowskiStare ?

#

Also, how did you do on the final?

tame hare Oct 14, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

there isn’t supposed to be but they just got back to me after the on-site and said “we still aren’t sure so we need you to do another technical”

#

Final i think i did well in 3/4 but struggled with the bug/integration round

grand patio Oct 14, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

yea sounds like a lot of people are struggling on that practical round monkaHoly not looking forward to that next week

#

gl on the next technical!

tame hare Oct 14, 2021, 6:43 PM

#

Thanks, good luck with yours!!

timber palm Oct 17, 2021, 10:21 PM

#

@tame hare are you allowed to use languages other than python on the final?

grand patio Oct 17, 2021, 10:22 PM

#

timber palm <@880549231331520552> are you allowed to use languages other than python on the ...

Only one part of the final is required to use python

timber palm Oct 17, 2021, 10:23 PM

#

Do y’all typically interview in/use python?

#

I have basically 0 exp so kinda nervous for that

#

Gotta learn it in a week

grand patio Oct 17, 2021, 10:23 PM

#

Nope, I hate using python tbh

blissful rapids Oct 17, 2021, 10:23 PM

#

there is sys design right

grand patio Oct 17, 2021, 10:23 PM

#

Yea sys design + technical + practical (python)

#

behavioral

blissful rapids Oct 17, 2021, 10:24 PM

#

why is this process harder than google and has a lower TC llmaoo

grand patio Oct 17, 2021, 10:24 PM

#

Wait what’s the tc for scale lmao

#

I thought it was a lot

#

But yea the final is absurdly long

timber palm Oct 17, 2021, 10:25 PM

#

I heard theyre hiring a ton this year so hopefully bar isnt that high for final performancd prayge

#

I think they do most of the screening before oa and during phone

blissful rapids Oct 17, 2021, 10:27 PM

#

grand patio I thought it was a lot

i thought it was alot but realistically it is 180 for normal people like me

#

unless u have competing offers at jane street or something

grand patio Oct 17, 2021, 10:28 PM

#

Shit

#

Maybe can negotiate with a mid tier offer though

#

I mean it’s a startup they should be paying more to mitigate the risk

timber palm Oct 17, 2021, 10:29 PM

#

Tbh id work here for 180

#

Over google and fb

grand patio Oct 17, 2021, 10:30 PM

#

I’d do it for like 200

#

Which I feel like isn’t out of range for them

#

I’ll just do it anyway lol the employees have been chill so far

#

I guess I was assuming it was a lot Bc all of the employees are cracked af

timber palm Oct 17, 2021, 10:36 PM

#

The people that joined last year are balling 7x in 1 year

#

Still paper money but hopefully it ipos

blissful rapids Oct 17, 2021, 10:36 PM

#

i wouldnt work their over google and facebook, i kinda like having all the perks of google or facebook

#

google just makes everything convient tho

grand patio Oct 17, 2021, 10:38 PM

#

hm yea that's why i feel like these types of startups have to outweigh the convenience + security of established companies with tc

#

but last year def seemed like a time to join lol

tame hare Oct 17, 2021, 11:09 PM

#

how would y’all compare scale to Google/fb in terms of other factors besides TC

blissful rapids Oct 17, 2021, 11:10 PM

#

google has good food and gym and a variety of cool people, im assuming scaleAI is male dominated so as a women in tech, i would like to see more diversity

#

however i do like machine learning so sacrifices can be made

#

on blind scaleAi has like okay culture

grand patio Oct 17, 2021, 11:12 PM

#

upside to scale is that you can have high impact

blissful rapids Oct 17, 2021, 11:12 PM

#

WAIT nvm it only has 1 review

grand patio Oct 17, 2021, 11:12 PM

#

Wtf it only has one review on blind

blissful rapids Oct 17, 2021, 11:13 PM

#

yea i was wondering why the culture rating was so high

timber palm Oct 17, 2021, 11:48 PM

#

Nah they have two company review pages on blind

#

Scale and scale AI both same company but got split somehow

#

The scale ai one has a lot more reviews pretty bad overall in terms of culture

#

2.4 for wlb 🤣

grand patio Oct 17, 2021, 11:49 PM

#

lol yea to be expected from a startup

summer maple Oct 18, 2021, 12:20 AM

#

does anyone know what the tc breakdown is for scale?

grand patio Oct 18, 2021, 12:21 AM

#

Idk, there are some entries on levels but they are all over the place

blissful rapids Oct 18, 2021, 12:28 AM

#

it might be 300k

#

noone knows

mellow iron Oct 19, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

#

#

blissful rapids Oct 19, 2021, 1:29 AM

#

tame hare Oct 19, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

tbh helped me be prepared for stripe

#

timber palm Oct 19, 2021, 3:05 AM

#

grand patio Oct 19, 2021, 3:25 AM

blissful rapids Oct 19, 2021, 11:04 AM

#

tame hare Oct 19, 2021, 7:21 PM

#

mellow iron Oct 20, 2021, 3:04 AM
