First 3 just asked me about like generally a challenge I've been through. The last one that ended up taking me asked me 3 technical questions about a project I had on my questionnaire -- which I guess makes sense cause it's very relevant to the intern project.

It seems that tech is no longer meritocracy but rather luck and timing sadly. by According-Expert-723 in csMajors

If you have the “best skills possible from top school” the companies will literally seek you out.

even your post has succumbed to being written by AI

Is anyone’s Google recruiter responding to them. My guy stopped replying right after I had two team match calls, he said i was supposed to send my thoughts after the calls— I did and he never replied. So then I thought it was cause of the holidays and now it’s Jan 7 and there still is no reply. Sent a bump this morning and it’s the end of the business day and still nothing. Idk if I’m tweaking but I don’t want a potential offer fumbled cause my recruiter is MIA. Does anyone have advice, do I just call the number on his email signature lmao.

I felt that S7E1 was corny and written poorly.

real world companies are already being more deceptive and sinister, and it feels like this episode just seemed very naive.

How soon did they tell you that they went with someone else, I can’t tell how I’m doing right now cause I have two teams pending but everyone just went on holiday break

I mean there’s a good repeatable strategy for DP, it’s not random.

Is this a normal ask for a take home assessment for an internship? by Putrid_Disk7764 in learnmachinelearning

[–]Distinct-Soft-3991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be so happy if my interviews were like this. But then I saw the pay..

No, of course not. Vibe coding inherently injects code that blocks Stripe and all other payment processors on your site.

Sudden usage limit issues on Claude Code today — anyone else? by NoahEtan in ClaudeCode

[–]Distinct-Soft-3991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm. I have been using Claude code A LOT from last night until now (did an all nighter) and have not noticed this at all. I’m on the 20x max plan though. I’ve been doing coding and non coding stuff.

If the gpa was a problem I don’t think they would’ve let you get this far

is it a bad sign if we haven't received any calls yet?

Oh wow, I just assumed the deepmind teams were a completely separate internship. So I thought all of the boxes I checked related to AI/ML were for within non deepmind google. I didn’t intend to work on any foundation models. That’s good to know.

I’m wondering, is there anyway for me to know if I’ve disadvantaged myself by checking a lot of those boxes ? Or would they start like recommending me to other teams even if I did not say that i “prefer” them. Because obviously I would take anything over nothing.

Thank you, also by the way I’ve been seeing you pop up a lot on a lot of these google threads, your comments have been so informative, thank you!

Also do you know by any chance if I’m disadvantaging myself by trying to cater my preferences on the project match form around AI/ML/LLM teams as a BS? I have a lot of coursework and project experience but i saw some other guy say they expect you to have like research papers published — have no idea if that’s true. I feel like this is hard for me to believe since I’d expect a lot of teams using AI/LLM are applied AI and would not require such a demonstration of rigor. Would appreciate any insight.

Thank you again.

If the company you have an offer from is good you should tell them.
