cerulean acorn
when did you get the rejection?
cedar siren
it was like
tell me about the project
a project you did
tell me about when you had ot make a quick decision
and something else
cerulean acorn
also did you have the whole moved to another job thing that happened on monday
cedar siren
no, i didn't look at the portal until yesterday afternoon
class design was easy af
i just
was slow
well
it was basically
design a sandbox for aws lambda
so i just used a hashmap
except i kept on missing test cases
and then we ran out of time
so im sure there was a second stage of the question that i didn't even get to
grizzled crag
no, i didn't look at the portal until yesterday afternoon
Ohh damn they got back to you yesterday that’s crazy
cedar siren
i dunno what to fucking do now
grizzled crag
Keep grinding brother you will land your job
cerulean acorn
hey at least you know now
i had my final 3/9 and after being baited on the portal that told me “moved to another job” and gave me a location monday it reverted back to under review wednesday and i got an email that i have to wait till the 30th

Wait they did that to you... which location to which location?
grizzled crag
there are no more postings
I m p sure there are some postings still open, even research posns too if not sde.. what year are you in? You could also apply for fall and negotiate w your school. And in the worst case for the summer maybe take summer courses or build your own cool project grind leetcode and prep for fall internship or maybe full time if you’re graduating
cerulean acorn
Wait they did that to you... which location to which location?
yeah so usually what I hear happens is the day before you get ur offer the application status changes to "moved to another job" and another application is added with the location that you have been assigned to
I was given greater seattle area
but then the next day it removed the other application with my location and reverted the "moved to another job" status back to under review
and amazon sent an email recently that there were issues with the system and that I would have a decision by march 30th
cerulean acorn

Damn dude... they have been making you wait a lot must be nerve racking for you
Your new location is seattle? That’s actually sick! Cuz that’s where the hq is. What was your prev location ?
cerulean acorn
the previous location is the same for everyone, its the default location of seattle washington
the new location is put into the tittle of the application as greater seattle area
cerulean acorn
Damn dude... they have been making you wait a lot must be nerve racking for you

grizzled crag

grizzled crag

shell ingot
Yeah first one was k frequent words on leetcode and I was able to solve it pretty quickly
Asked me to explain my approach to another problem
grizzled crag
Asked me to explain my approach to another problem

drowsy thorn

grizzled crag

did u get the rejection this week?
shell ingot
This monday
cerulean acorn
amazon said they were having issues with the portal
drowsy thorn
Did your portal change the day before the offer
no, straight to offer
portal change is speculation
cerulean acorn
that's interesting because so far everyone I asked had the portal change
grizzled crag
no, straight to offer
Ohh okay so for an offer your location does not necessarily be changed
drowsy thorn
what does that mean?
cerulean acorn
the portal change that he's referencing before the offer
where you have another application that has your location
drowsy thorn
ohhhhhhh
my portal did change, but it happened simultaneously with me getting my offer letter
just because your portal hasnt changed yet doesnt mean you dont have a chance

cerulean acorn
I have 0 work experience and i had the same number of interviews as you
novel bridge
everyone is after Juniors, sof and seniors
cerulean acorn
r u a freshman?
novel bridge
lol I am grad student
novel bridge
apparently they should
but I guess they think that sophs are like super excited to get in corporate and make a statement
so they might just overwork - as in work more than what is desired out of them for the peanuts they pay
so it is a win - win for them
pay less get more done
cedar siren

loud portal
Shouldn’t u be looking for new grad positions
novel bridge
What was your undergrad in

you mean everyone who has applied right?
drowsy thorn
i heard amazon doesnt resume reject for the intern position
drowsy thorn
you mean everyone who has applied right?
idk man
old cairn
i heard amazon doesnt resume reject for the intern position
they do once they get closer to finishing up
But they just update the portal, they dont send an email pretty sure
drowsy thorn
Yeag
They just ghost you until the position closes, if you've been resume rejected
By this point, if you haven't heard back you may have been resume rejected
Idk tbh
novel bridge
oh so you mean it would still show as 'Application submitted'?
And then by the end of April it would change to rejected?
drowsy thorn
Yeah
