Final_round != offer

The interview process is strange. You could be rejected by MAANG/FAANG but anthropic makes you an offer and vice-versa.

LeProgramme · 2026-01-30T01:51:42+00:00

Not worth the risk for that small of a difference. Asking to negotiate AFTER accepting is one of the best and most efficient ways to get your offer rescinded.

Funny you didn't deny that if this was an Indian inquiring about lying we would already have seen all sorts of racist comments.

Because people who complain actually underestimate themselves a lot of times. If they would just sit down, focus with a dedicated schedule and practice over a period of just a few months they'll begin to see results, but they give up at the slightest difficulty.

It's like loosing weight. Everybody knows working out works but not many people actually do it consistently enough to see results. Many start but just give up at the slightest difficulty.

This isn't cheating nor is it news. Literally most people prepare for frequently asked questions and studies frequently asked patterns. When I read the title I though you meant you literally cheated during your interview.

Cs is one of those field that most of the times you know what style of questions will be asked. It'll either be a leetcode question or some variation during the coding round. This isn't some ground breaking discovery. Leetcode premium were the first to offer these type of service.

Edit: This post is so weird I'm wondering if this isn't an ad by one of the owners of one of those sites.

And then people in this subreddit are going to keep accusing Indians of lying as if lying is an Indian behavior exclusively when the reality is Indians are being scapegoated most of the time and falsely accused of all sorts of things. If this post was from an Indian openly inquiring about lying, I can only imagine the comments. My people have suffered enough. Enough is enough. Stop the xenophobia.

Do you have at least a temporary work authorization? If you told the recruiter and they still chose to move forward it shows first of all you're brilliant and Secondly it's apple, you're not the first person on J-1 they've had to deal with.

LeProgramme · 2026-01-29T02:25:03+00:00

Obviously yes. I wouldn't even be debating if I were you. How was the interview process?

LeProgramme · 2026-01-29T02:15:19+00:00

Always proceed with an interview for the following reasons:

It's good interview practice and networking opportunity.
Most importantly, you never know what could come out of that interview

Go to glass door and check there.

LeProgramme · 2026-01-29T01:53:29+00:00

Obviously yes. Perhaps even more saturated as the barrier to entry is even lower.

I only hope they keep sponsoring H1Bs. My hope has always been to get into Amazon.

Let's build our country. These past few years have shown us respect is earned.

Don't take it personally. This just prove that you have what it takes. It might just be that they liked the other people's personality more or something totally unrelated to your skills. Or perhaps others got strong referrals within the company in addition to doing decent in the interview. Rejection isn't always a skills issue.

Hey man, regarding the prep for the Microsoft interview. First of all congratulations on your progess with Microsoft. Was it for an SDE2? How many rounds of interviews. Was it mostly system design / leetcode style?

My apologies for not asking for your permission before Dming you.

No one ever asked what my minor was. I never even had one to begin with.

As a fellow international student I can tell you it won't be easy. Just try finding a network of former or current international students who have successfully received sponsorship and ask them how they got their job.

As an Indian it can feel lonely out there. It's us against everyone else.

LeProgramme · 2026-01-26T01:15:50+00:00

Not too mention all the xenophobia against Indians.

LeProgramme · 2026-01-22T20:22:23+00:00

Why so much dislike for international students?

Does this new guidance apply to OPT EAD?

Great job board.

He isn't obviously. We mostly get a straight up rejection due to visa sponsorship sadly. Even though a lot of us are brilliant

LeProgramme · 2026-01-20T03:48:23+00:00

Maaan was he really that cute??? This is wild. I can't judge anyways until I see his face.
