bb process

[grizzled wedge]

yo is it auto move to phone after coffee chat

[lyric scaffold]

tf is coffee chat

I had no coffee chat

[grizzled wedge]

and how many days did you or @twilit kiln wait

[lyric scaffold]

just resume -> phone

[grizzled wedge]

ahh I had bloomberg coffee chat

thursday

[twilit kiln]

uh

the process takes a while

here was my timeline

[grizzled wedge]

someone else said it was that-phone-manager-offer

[lyric scaffold]

it varies

[twilit kiln]

apply -> phone -> onsite (2 rounds technical) -> hr -> em

[lyric scaffold]

I got done with everything super quick

[twilit kiln]

that was for me

[lyric scaffold]

same process for me

after phone, they replied within 24 hours

[grizzled wedge]

what was phone exactly

[twilit kiln]

took 8 days after phone

everything else within 1 hour

except for after em

that took 2 days

[grizzled wedge]

like a technical round or?

[lyric scaffold]

2 technicals + HR is usually a joint package

so if you don't get HR call after 2 technicals, it usually means you didn't pass

but from phone -> onsite it varies on how long it takes for you to hear back

anywhere between 1 - 7 days

[grizzled wedge]

so both phone and onsite are 2 technicals?

sorry im confused

[twilit kiln]

no

phone is one technical

then onsite is another 2 technicals

[grizzled wedge]

ahh, do they do lc tagged

[lyric scaffold]

yeah they have a testbank they use

LC tagged was helpful in my experience

[grizzled wedge]

i'll just have to see if they give me a phone

basically I had this 10 minute google meet with an engineer last thursday

I probably should've asked what next steps were

[twilit kiln]

interesting...

[grizzled wedge]

hope I hear back this week for a phone? I'd assume they wouldn't schedule a casual chat with every person who applied

[twilit kiln]

they may skip phone for u then?

[lyric scaffold]

they usually don't skip processes like that

@grizzled wedge must be from a target school right?

[thin stump]

I just had 1 technical onsite after phone 🙂 they had some event in which they were coovering all the NY region schools altogher, so if passed then 1 more technical

They complete the entire process, i think

[grizzled wedge]

nope rando midwest state school

[lyric scaffold]

how did you get a 10 min call ?

[grizzled wedge]

literally was first thing asked me to schedule after applying, I'm assuming I still have a phone round+onsite. But idk people who've gone through this specific process

[lyric scaffold]

Huh that's strange

[twilit kiln]

so for me

[lyric scaffold]

Well I wouldn't think of it any different, they might've just wanted to do a bit of prescreening now since headcount is tighter

[twilit kiln]

my phone was actually just a 15 minute chat with an engineer

no technical questions asked

just asking about my projects

but for most ppl its not

[grizzled wedge]

maybe we have the same then?

[twilit kiln]

so i thought it was just a fluke

is that what happened with u?

[grizzled wedge]

it was listed as a "coffee chat"

[twilit kiln]

for me it was a technical chat

idk

[grizzled wedge]

I talked about my projects

why i wanted to work at bloomberg

the guy told me about his product area

and any questions I had

no real formal interview questions

[lyric scaffold]

Man y'all were luckier than me

Mine was a technical straight up

[twilit kiln]

thats normal

idk i was surprised too

but my 2 technical rounds made up for it

5 lc questions asked lma

[lyric scaffold]

Got scheduled for a call, we talked for 5 mins about myself and had a 45min technical

[grizzled wedge]

jeeze

for manatee

[lyric scaffold]

lmao tf 5? Who gave you 2 questions my guy

[twilit kiln]

the 1st round was a senior guy who asked me 3 questions

[lyric scaffold]

yikes

[twilit kiln]

the last question was like

[lyric scaffold]

I got LC easies throughout the entire process

[twilit kiln]

design

idk

but i nailed it

the second round

was 2 mediusm

[grizzled wedge]

so you both have nyc bloomberg offers?

[twilit kiln]

and i fked one of them up lol

yep

[grizzled wedge]

what is tc like?

[twilit kiln]

150k base 20k perf based bonus 10k relo

is the standard offer

[grizzled wedge]

I really hope I pass google hc, and maybe I can use bb to negotiate haha

[twilit kiln]

but both of us negotiated

yogi negotiated his to be quite "nice"

[twilit kiln]

that would be pog

[grizzled wedge]

210~?

[twilit kiln]

thats about what i was able to negotiate to

[grizzled wedge]

no stock?

ig private

[twilit kiln]

no stock at bb

[grizzled wedge]

nvm

[lyric scaffold]

Mine was about that before I negotiated again after more offers

[grizzled wedge]

ahh, did you guys get faang

and choose bb over them?

[lyric scaffold]

yeah FB/G for me

[twilit kiln]

yogis staying at bb i think

[lyric scaffold]

and Amazon/Netflix for manatee?

[grizzled wedge]

why bb>fb/g?

[twilit kiln]

i didnt get netflix :}

just had a phone screen is all

[lyric scaffold]

significantly higher comp + better wlb

[grizzled wedge]

i thought g very good wlb

[lyric scaffold]

yeah but i don't wanna go to seattle

[grizzled wedge]

no nyc team for g then so lower comp?

ahh

[lyric scaffold]

FB was in NYC and their offer was good (225k), but BB was able to negotiate

[grizzled wedge]

I'll see this week if I get followup to schedule a bb phone or final ig

ahh yeah the guy at bb I was talking to seemed like he really liked his job

he was in office too with like plexiglass around him and people walking around

haven't seen that in companies for a while

[upbeat pelican]

just curious, what did g nego to

[lyric scaffold]

idk yet their comp team is taking a while to respond back

[upbeat pelican]

slow af

[grizzled wedge]

I hear g base is going up

[lyric scaffold]

I'm guessing 260-270k but they might not budge

[upbeat pelican]

wtf

that's cracked

i didn't know g went that high

[lyric scaffold]

my BB offer is a bit too high

so I'm not sure what would happen either

[upbeat pelican]

are you quant?

[lyric scaffold]

naw SWE

[upbeat pelican]

wait how does bb go above 250k

like what did you use as leverage

[lyric scaffold]

FB/G and HRT final

[upbeat pelican]

huh

[grizzled wedge]

I remember yogi talking about his bloomberg offer now

[upbeat pelican]

so bb overshot those other offers?

[grizzled wedge]

yeah that would be nice to negotiate that high lul

[lyric scaffold]

it was a doozey I was asking for advise in the chat

[upbeat pelican]

was bb straight up like: "we'll give you 50k more than your other offers"

[lyric scaffold]

for BB, I think they thought I basically got HRT so they overshot FB/G by a longmile

[grizzled wedge]

wonder how crazy they expect you to perform

[upbeat pelican]

ic

ig hrt is considered a competitor

[grizzled wedge]

you said you had a 2 sig final or something?

[lyric scaffold]

HRT offers 400k to new grad

[upbeat pelican]

but crazy you got it w/ just hrt final

[lyric scaffold]

naw just HRT

[upbeat pelican]

maybe they misread final as offer

[lyric scaffold]

maybe and they don't really check offers unlike G

[upbeat pelican]

damn

[lyric scaffold]

I had to compile all my offer letters and send them to G

but comp team is taking forever

[upbeat pelican]

how is bb growth tho

[lyric scaffold]

hoping to hear this monday

BB growth is pretty shit

[twilit kiln]

its not the best

but its ok after 2 years he can dip

[lyric scaffold]

basically my comp is never increasing again

[upbeat pelican]

unfortunate

i mean you can always leave after 2

[lyric scaffold]

Yeah gotta wait for 2 years

sign-on chains me

[upbeat pelican]

the manager in my bb manager round has been there for 13 years lol

[grizzled wedge]

skip a level in 2 years at g/fb and make 400k

[upbeat pelican]

he was lucky and successful so i don't blame him

[twilit kiln]

mine had been there for 20+ years lmao

[upbeat pelican]

he was able to climb up pretty high

so ig he's probably making good money

[grizzled wedge]

vexor did you have a "coffee chat" after applying

[upbeat pelican]

nah

[grizzled wedge]

where they just asked about your interests

[upbeat pelican]

btw mine was internship but it was apply -> phone -> final -> manager

[lyric scaffold]

Yeah you can make 400k at BB if you're there for that long but it would probably be faster to switch to a faster growth company like SAP or FB

[twilit kiln]

oh wtf i just checked our mutual servers list. u played realm? @upbeat pelican

[upbeat pelican]

used to

[twilit kiln]

ya same

lmfao

[upbeat pelican]

but im a bot dev + mod in some servers

[twilit kiln]

small world

[upbeat pelican]

lol

[upbeat pelican]

did you really say SAP

i hope you meant snap

[twilit kiln]

ya i think thats what he meant xd

[lyric scaffold]

Stripe, Airbnb and Pinterest dude

[upbeat pelican]

oh lol

[lyric scaffold]

if they IPO you're set :'))

[twilit kiln]

oh wow

[upbeat pelican]

never heard of that acronym

pinterest is dying tho

[twilit kiln]

nor have i :kek:

[upbeat pelican]

airbnb i heard has low offers

[twilit kiln]

airbnb has already ipod i think

[upbeat pelican]

ppl in csmajors were saying 150k was standard

they must've been bleeding during the pandemic

stripe looks cool tho

culture is a bit but it's probably similar to fb

[grizzled wedge]

@tame fable yo

you went through the bloomberg coffee chat process right?

[lyric scaffold]

hmm that's pretty yikes

I kinda got the impression that they were kinda like Uber before it IPOd

chill wlb, good comp, smaller teams

[upbeat pelican]

i've heard they have a little pip culture

also isn't IPO useless now

bc of new RSU policy

it's tied to dollar value instead of share amount

[lyric scaffold]

wait fr?

[grizzled wedge]

do you live in nyc already yogi?

[lyric scaffold]

Naw

my school is in a pretty small city

[grizzled wedge]

I've been looking at apts since my current offer I have the option of nyc

rent is gonna be the primary expense

[lyric scaffold]

Welcome to NYC lmao

which boroughs are you looking at?

hopefully not manhattan lmao

[grizzled wedge]

my offer is 100k base 20k bonus so I can only afford up to 2.5k rent

so decent place in brooklyn/queens

or find a roommate for manhattan

[lyric scaffold]

You can get a nice studio in Queens

[upbeat pelican]

finding a roommate isn't a bad option

you save so much

[lyric scaffold]

finding roommates is financially a good call but tbh I can't do it

[upbeat pelican]

imo roommate > studio

studios are expensive as fuck in nyc/bay

[lyric scaffold]

unless you have a girlfriend

[upbeat pelican]

yea don't be too optimistic

[grizzled wedge]

I've found some decent 1beds in brooklyn/queens but by next year prob more expensive since still a bit of pandemic pricing rn

[lyric scaffold]

pandemic pricing is gonna stick dw

people are mad as shit for renters increasing prices like crazy

[grizzled wedge]

with 300k+ total comp you don't need roommates haha

[upbeat pelican]

300k is actually nuts

gg

[grizzled wedge]

my man's buying property and shit

[upbeat pelican]

nuts to think that even when he becomes l4, faang may still be lower

[grizzled wedge]

yogi if you flex on blind you'll make a lot of 30+ yr olds cry

[lyric scaffold]

people on blind literally casting dark magic curses on you if your comp is higher than theirs

[grizzled wedge]

lul have no fear

[tame fable]

yo yea i went thro bloomberg too

what is up?

did someone already answer

[grizzled wedge]

yeah kinda

but basically I had coffee chat last thurs

then got invited to virtual 1hr

did you have two rounds of that onsite?

[tame fable]

yea i had a coffee chat just to talk about why im applying to bloomberg first but rlly isn’t part of anything

is just to ask questions

than after that two technical round onsite + just talking with hr later about some logistics and questions

and then finally hiring manager round

[grizzled wedge]

can I dm?
