weird situation. i interviewed for seattle, and today i was told that they could offer me but i would need to decide by the end of the week. this was because they are crazy full and are only reaching out to candidates who expressed a lot of interest throughout the process (IE attended recruiting events and such).

#

i declined the offer as i have already signed with another company i prefer, but mentioned i would be interested in either pushing my offer to the spring of 2023 or entering the recruiting pipeline for new grad in a truncated interview process because i already passed this one.

what company you going to instead?

they could not push me to spring as under their rules i was ineligible to intern as a senior, but they were happy to agree to truncate me for new grad if i decided to give them a shot.

# burnt vapor what company you going to instead?

snap. i love AR and i think i am likely to be team matched to Spectacles which would be my dream tech (big on wearable stuff). Also my gf is likely to end up in LA or Austin and snap is the only company on my high target list which offers both locations.

#

it was one of 3 companies i set aside at the start of this year as my first choices so although stripe was tempting, i went with my gut on this one.

# visual peak what were the three companies?

palantir for counter-terrorism (i think their bar is crazy high and my entire family is military so its a unique way for me to carry on legacy) (made it to HM before rejection which is not atypical, the HM interview is very hard), waymo/aurora (exact same reasoning for both: high tier AV companies) (ghosted by both, but I did not have super relevant exp), and snap (offered) (i love AR and wearables and LA >> SF for me so it was an easy choice. should be super fun ☀️ 🏖️ )
