officially lost hope

[bold girder]

Sorry to hear about this, it's saddening to hear coming into my virtual onsite as well :((

[tired ferry]

They violating y’all with these rejections

[ruby vault]

@gray canyon It is so sad to hear that you did your best, and they still reject you.
When was your onsite tho?

[jolly tiger]

Bruh this gonna be me. I think fb just full or smtn with all these rejections ngl

[carmine forge]

what was your timeline @gray canyon

[noble fulcrum]

are you sure you solved each round optimally? if you did each round optimally i doubt they would reject you @gray canyon

[mystic granite]

Lol this is not giving me good hopes for my Facebook phone which is in 2 weeks. If they are filled up why are they still interviewing

[jolly tiger]

Ik man, shit is making me super nervous

[ruby vault]

I think you guys are overthinking it because of the time pressure. FB is too huge to fill in all the roles that early + they are still interviewing many people. Also, that server is not close at all to the real number of offers/interviews sent every day. So, it is better to relax and wait for the decision, as it wouldn't change anything

[gray canyon]

@noble fulcrum yep all tagged questions I knew

@carmine forge final techs last week Monday, behavioral Thursday, phone like 3 weeks before that

@ruby vault ^

And FB almost 80% full now

[jolly tiger]

Bruh I’m still stuck with nothing after final which was almost 2 weeks ago at this point

[mystic granite]

Where are you coming up with these figures lol

[vague sapphire]

Wait so FB recruiters r working today?

[jolly tiger]

Depends on recruiter

Mines gone OOO

She left Monday

[mystic granite]

for ur offer man

[gray canyon]

Recruiter told my friend on offer call

[jolly tiger]

to not getting rejected after two painful weeks of waiting

[mystic granite]

I mean 80% full means that they still might be hiring a couple hundred, so idk what to interpret

[jolly tiger]

I mean 80% full still doesn’t explain why you got rejected tho

Like I am more scared abt the fact that they rejected you

After all optimals

[gray canyon]

Yea they probably still have a lotta spots, idk

[jolly tiger]

Even with 80% full they wouldn’t reject a perfect candidate that solves everything

So that scares me

[vague sapphire]

Don’t sweat it man Meta is garbage anyway lol

[mystic granite]

...

[jolly tiger]

Meta is not garbage if you don’t have anything else

[vague sapphire]

Don’t you have like Google finals and stuff, dw you’ll get smth

[jolly tiger]

Like if meta rejects I’ll be left with goog

[gray canyon]

Ya I spent a lotta time prepping was hoping to get it over with, now it's Google prep time

[jolly tiger]

And that’s abt it

[vague sapphire]

Bruh

Google >>>

[mystic granite]

You got amazon @jolly tiger ?

[jolly tiger]

Hopefully Monday brings good news for meta

[jolly tiger]

Nope

Got no offers yet

Gonna start applying to internships this week

[vague sapphire]

Fuck

I should have applied to internships that’s big brain lmaooo

[mystic granite]

Bro google seems too hard to get into so idk what to say even, i've only done the google oa

[jolly tiger]

Although imma miss out of meta which is one of the biggest internship hirers

[vague sapphire]

I feel like it might be late now?

[jolly tiger]

Yeh exactly

[jolly tiger]

Nah internships hiring still going on

[vague sapphire]

There’s a lotta other stuff tho

[mystic granite]

So are you graduating, and so you wanna find an internship for the summer after you graduate?

[jolly tiger]

Not much I qualify for as international my man

[vague sapphire]

Damn

[jolly tiger]

Nah I’ll delay grad by a sem

[mystic granite]

Ahh i gotcha

[jolly tiger]

I’m graduating in three as of now

So staying an extra sem won’t raise any red flags

[vague sapphire]

Wait fuck Idt I can delay grad any more

Too late

[mystic granite]

I got amazon to fall back on

[vague sapphire]

So there goes my hope for internships

[jolly tiger]

You got any other offers?

[vague sapphire]

Bruh I’m 2.5 but I graduate 2 weeks after break so I’m screwed

Cant delay it this late

[jolly tiger]

Damn you good then my man. A year or two at Amazon is chill

[vague sapphire]

Yea I’m chilling

Just trying to get smth better tho

[jolly tiger]

Ayy you good then

Dw just get 1-2 yoe

Then you’ll have recruiters in your dms

[mystic granite]

You guys are graduating in 2.5 and 3 years wth

[jolly tiger]

My problem is not having a single offer

So I’m extremely scared abt wtf I’m gonna do

Like I got scammed out of palantir cuz bad luck

And the only way I lose fb is bad luck

[vague sapphire]

I feel like you’ll probably get fb

[jolly tiger]

Gotta grind my ass off for goog

[mystic granite]

I know a decent amount of people who extended grad for 1 more internship, i think it's all good

[jolly tiger]

And even then it’s rng

[jolly tiger]

Yeh but getting the internship is hell for international

[mystic granite]

I thought getting full time was harder for international

[jolly tiger]

Like the big internship outlets for international is faang

[jolly tiger]

Yeh it is

[mystic granite]

Oh i see what you mean

[jolly tiger]

But since I am already interviewing with fb and goog

I can’t reinterview

For internship

[mystic granite]

Damn lol that blows yeah

[jolly tiger]

So yeh idk I’ll just have to pray for smtn at this point

[mystic granite]

FB

[vague sapphire]

Wait is that rly the case damn

[jolly tiger]

fb

[vague sapphire]

My friend is interviewing for like 4-5 roles at fb lol

[jolly tiger]

Oh shit really?

[vague sapphire]

I mean all internship

[jolly tiger]

Damn I might try for fb intern then

[vague sapphire]

But literally in 4 pipelines at the same time

With diff recruiters

And idk if they r even aware

[jolly tiger]

Lmaoo

King shit

[vague sapphire]

Lmaoo yeah I’d try that

See I was thinking I should do internship but it’s rly marginal idk

I feel like grinding for Ft Is better

Like u said can always switch in 1yoe

[jolly tiger]

Yeh if you have offer

Ft is better

100%

I’m only considering internship cuz no offers yet

[vague sapphire]

Like even if I had databricks offer for intern

Would I rly take it over a 100k+ job

[vague sapphire]

Yeahh fair

Ok the one thing tho id prob take a quant internship if I could get one

But I can’t

[vague sapphire]

U have a lotta time to grind for Ft As well tho? Cuz may grad

[jolly tiger]

Yeh that’s what I’m banking on

Gonna start applying for both ft and intern

[tall temple]

damn this makes me nervous.... i had 2/2 phone, 4/4 final and they still gave me follow up interview

[fossil patrol]

wait they're making it harder? That's fucked

I might just cancel my Facebook interviews tbh

[gray canyon]

Only thing I can point fingers at is my behavioral but was it bad enough to negate essentially perfect technicals? I don't think so... Interviewer didn't phrase some questions super great and was a bit confused initially about my answers but that was resolved, or so I thought

[fossil patrol]

if only companies actually gave us feedback for the hours and hours of time we invested in their interview process only to get rejected
