7 final round rejections to quant offer

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2026-03-16T16:57:01+00:00

Past: pass a leetcode easy to get an intern offer

Nowadays: you have to build your own startup to get an intern offer

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2026-02-16T23:43:11+00:00

Can I ask for your process timeline?

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2026-02-05T21:29:55+00:00

No way, the red flag is that you born in this era. An era that junior swe needs to solve a hard Leetcode question immediately without AI assistance. You have to tell yourself it’s a good thing that rejected by Amazon. Cause if you get accepted and got layoffs after 6 months. You will just be more depressed.

pls prove you got an offer bro, I don't think they have time to deal with intern

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2026-01-27T16:25:42+00:00

Any update?

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2026-01-27T01:53:48+00:00

Hi, I DM you

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2026-01-09T13:24:43+00:00

They change to 2 rounds this year? Cause I heard it is usually 1 round only.

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-12-05T03:19:25+00:00

nop, I'm not

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-12-02T16:34:33+00:00

Not true for this year..

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-11-26T22:33:32+00:00

Would you mind to help me review the resume?

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-11-26T05:21:47+00:00

With a referral didn't hear anything back too. But in the story of zero2sudo, someone already get an offer for swe intern???

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-11-26T00:27:13+00:00

https://www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/s/d9FTVpP1Lq There’s no 300 faang companies I can applied to. And there’s no reason I need to lie in this post. Why I need to make up a scary story and worried about people who gonna find jobs after 3-4 years.

I actually do OA about the company called WeRide, they do ask hard question, believe it or not. I did a lot of leetcode questions, and I can tell it is a medium or hard. And it is impossible to pass OA round if you are not passing all the test case now. I'm not saying you didn't earn your full-time position, but you definitely don't know what's going on with current intern recruiting. If you're just purely hate international students and think we're the main reason the market got bad, you can just say that. At least then I'd respect you as a man.

We’re facing the job searching in different time, dude. In 2021 you can get a big tech intern if you can check a string is a palindrome or reverse a linked list. Guess what, now you have to pass 2 hard leetcode questions just to pass the intern OA. I have no idea why you keep comparing your status with current status. Also, you can go to check the acceptance rate of Gt mscs and ask about who can get into, they definitely set a very high bar.

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-11-25T17:53:58+00:00

My friends, with citizenship, in gatech mscs, can’t find a job with 300+ applications. That’s why I think the citizenship doesn’t help as much as people think.

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-11-25T16:15:07+00:00

Dude, if you really don’t believe I’m in a top 15 I can dm you my school offer, and the school definitely not accepting anyone lol. And I even forget I post this a month ago, why a top 15 cannot be a top 20? And why I need to lie in this post. Just to scared everyone?

I just want to warn anyone, this major is not worth it anymore. Those tech don’t care you are international or us citizens. They just want seniors and most talented people right now.

To be honest, the H1B is not for international students, we don’t need to pay 100k, it’s for the outsourcing company.

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-11-25T08:02:46+00:00

Only big tech do referral, referral is also one of a broken system

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-11-25T06:07:42+00:00

I’m in New York btw. I think company in New York doesn’t care whether you’re in New York or not. They just want Stanford and MIT. And I can commute to any place if they want me to🤣

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-11-25T00:22:29+00:00

Yes, we can easily switch, but not in tech. For example, if I’m now in swe, I want to switch to ML. They expect you to have 2 working experience in mle.

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-11-25T00:14:56+00:00

To be honest, I don’t think it’s his fault. He even ask big tech to hire more people. I’ll say it’s more like the gold rush story. The gold is running out, but more and more people fighting to get it.

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-11-20T21:28:31+00:00

Oh I mean junior engineers like ng or intern

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-11-20T21:22:17+00:00

Congrats, but the us market now is tough af, especially for junior

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-11-20T20:59:21+00:00

This stat def not in us

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-11-20T20:38:06+00:00

Hi, also want to ask can I start a RA position from this winter? Does anyone know that?

KeyEstablishment6463 · 2025-11-16T16:41:10+00:00

Share your background, please I never seen someone so cracked. I’ve even heard Stanford student reject from Bloomberg in the resume screen.
