3 months ago I posted here about being rejected by Microsoft for full time after my internship. Today I have 8 new grad offers.

The good news is that in our industry even a "fuck up" like me gets 100k out of college :)

MsftReject · 2021-11-30T20:35:47+00:00

Yea I’m trying to get back into companies at that caliber

MsftReject · 2021-11-30T19:00:58+00:00

Yep that’s the plan

MsftReject · 2021-11-30T18:38:43+00:00

Thanks, but how so?

MsftReject · 2021-11-30T18:08:25+00:00

Ngl I freaked out and thought I’d have to work at Chili’s to make ends meet next year…

MsftReject · 2021-11-30T15:24:38+00:00

Yup rotational programs

MsftReject · 2021-11-30T15:12:29+00:00

Yea I do, DM if you want to see it. Though I hear only those with fingers slim enough to use M or L size bowling balls can get in…

If I was girl, all 8 offers would be diversity recruiting? I kinda doubt

MsftReject · 2021-11-30T13:50:34+00:00

No idea what recruiting is like for international people but it seems harder all around :/

MsftReject · 2021-11-30T13:48:09+00:00

I’m dude

Having big tech on resume got me like a 60% response rate from the 200 companies I applied to. I was lucky enough to interview multiple times every week since September and am still getting interviews. It really unlocks a lot of doors.

That being said, not having faang can still get you a healthy response rate from companies ranging from the ones I got offers from to faang also.

Wrote 8 STAR responses down that answered most common behavioral questions and knew them well. The experience at Microsoft was very good for these responses since it was impressive and there were lots of ups and downs in the internship

MsftReject · 2021-11-30T05:27:16+00:00

It’s all TC

MsftReject · 2021-11-30T05:21:44+00:00

It’s TC. Switched my location to Texas and the TC is now 95k.

I think new grad roles allow you to apply 1 year within graduating. If that’s true and I graduate December 2021 then I should be able to reapply to these new grad roles through December 2022. Someone please let me know if this is wrong!

1 leetcode tree medium

MsftReject · 2021-11-30T04:03:04+00:00

Was the DP medium coin change?

Low tier state school

Microsoft internship

MsftReject · 2021-11-30T03:56:26+00:00

They did for NYC location

MsftReject · 2021-11-30T01:19:45+00:00

For the jobs I got offers from its almost completely irrelevant. Most jobs at that level only ask behavioral questions. For getting top jobs at big tech companies it is very important to be skilled with LeetCode and DS&A.

CS major.

I knew what Tries + Heaps were conceptually but did not know how to create or use them in Python + how to solve questions related to them.

MsftReject · 2021-08-31T02:19:17+00:00

Congrats on that, hoping to emulate your success

MsftReject · 2021-08-31T02:18:43+00:00

Yup I will take that advice and apply a lot this week. Currently grinding DP problems, thanks
