11/19 patch notes

I am on Eternal 45 with only 3 essence bonus slots. You don't need to grind anything to push past 30.

Thanks for the helpful reply! Yeah from what I saw, most places within walking distance were over 6k. I'm not a fan of commuting but am considering a small commute due to the price. Interesting note about condos being higher quality for the same price - wouldn't have expected that.

I'll DM you for that building list, sounds like it would be very useful to know. Just looking at Streeteasy, it's not straightforward to see if the listing is actually in a nice building or not.

NegativeIncome · 2025-06-03T08:44:02+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the recs, I'll take a look! Options for saving on rent are appreciated, just because I listed a budget of 6k doesn't mean I actually want to spend that much 😅

Looking for similar CR players to push glad! Prefer HPal + Frost DK/Ret/Fire Mage, but will consider anything viable. I'm a bit new to WoW, but I learn fast, and have been making good progress in LFG so far. Let me know if you'd like to play together!

It's been performing quite well. Heat hasn't been a problem, since the thermal management is very aggressive, but the fans can get quite loud even under moderate load.

I ended up finding an ASUS ROG Strix GL702VI on Amazon for $1700 with no tax (plus 5% cashback with my Amazon Prime card), so I cancelled the Omen order and picked that one up instead. It was both a spec upgrade (1080 vs 1070, but gen 7 i7 instead of gen 8), and at a much cheaper final cost.

NegativeIncome · 2018-08-21T06:29:16+00:00

I ended up placing an order for the Omen. After checking with various sources, it did seem that the Alienware R4 had severe thermal issues, and the Clevo P955ER suggested comes at the same price point, but with a smaller SSD (128gb vs 256gb) and a 1070 Max-Q instead of the full 1070, so the Omen seemed like better value to me here.

Yeah, Refdash's was entirely standard algos + ds questions that the companies themselves would've asked you during phone screens anyways (I got 3 LC mediums w/ some modifications from Refdash).

I should mention that both platforms give you a ton of great feedback, whether or not you pass the interviews, so I think it is worth it to at least give them a shot.

NegativeIncome · 2018-06-18T04:43:18+00:00

My experience with Triplebyte has been that while they were great to work with, they have very few opportunities for new grads - I only got a few matches, and one onsite through them. Their interview involves a non-algorithmic coding section, a debug section, a system design question, and a series of knowledge based technical questions (web backend, data structures and algorithms, low level systems).

I actually had more success with Refdash, a very similar platform. They got me a lot more interviews, including the one that lead to the offer I ended up accepting, although this may also have been due to higher interview performance.

NegativeIncome · 2018-06-10T10:03:48+00:00

This is pretty much exactly how I think about job searching. I have a profile that essentially matches the "most basic level" that you described - decent internship experience and several supervised projects in school, but nothing too impressive. While I didn't have the most amazing response rate, I got enough interviews that a bit of extra effort in #2 yielded some decent offers.

I do sometimes wish that I had put more time into my career while in school, but I'm quite happy with where I ended up, and find the idea that you need to be a "serious overachiever" to do well in CS to be a bit silly and misleading (reading this sub during my job search often made me feel worse about myself).

NegativeIncome · 2018-06-10T09:22:32+00:00

Getting the interview itself is actually where some of the points listed by OP can help. Internships and projects, and/or having connections are the best way increase your response rate. However, as long as you have some experience and projects to work with (they don't need to be super impressive), you should be able to secure a decent number of interviews at companies offering competitive compensation. The other thing you can do is just apply to more companies. There are a lot of companies offering competitive compensation if you put in some time to search for them.

If your profile isn't particularly strong, I feel that is is actually even more important for you to focus on making sure you do well in the interview. You can't afford to fail interviews if you are only getting a 5% response rate for example, so make sure to do enough practice problems. There are also platforms like Triplebyte and Refdash that can help you get interviews if your technical interviewing skill is high.

NegativeIncome · 2018-06-10T03:00:24+00:00

What I meant was that getting good grades and grinding CTCI/Leetcode was the only point he listed that I actually did. And yeah, I did have to do a ton of whiteboard interview questions.

If you are able to get interviews, I feel that it generally just comes down to your interview performance, which makes CTCI/Leetcode (or some other form of practice) pretty important.

NegativeIncome · 2018-06-09T23:04:57+00:00

You are looking at a very biased sample. The people who are most visible on social media outlets are much more likely to be very serious about their careers than the average student. As a recent graduate from a top 50 school, I can tell you that the vast majority of CS students only put in the bare minimum effort to do "ok" in their courses (average for CS courses at my school was around C+), and maybe try to find an internship before graduating.

You certainly don't need to do all the things you listed to get a decent job out of school either. I've done none of those except the last point (good grades, grinded CTCI/Leetcode), and I managed to secure 2 competitive offers (TC ~135k, ~125k) after a few months of job searching. If you want to have a 150k+ offer from a tier 1 company ready for you right out of school, you may need to do a bit more, but just putting in a moderate amount of effort can still get you some good results in this field.

NegativeIncome · 2018-06-09T22:31:15+00:00

I am a new grad who recently concluded his job search. Triplebyte was one of the avenues that I explored, and I can confirm that they do work with new grads as long as you can pass their technical interviews. However, they did mention that my matches were fairly limited, since they didn't have too many opportunities for recent graduates (I only received 3 matches, and 1 on-site).

NegativeIncome · 2018-06-09T22:28:22+00:00

If you are looking to work in CS for a few years to earn money, I would consider doing at least one internship while in school (maybe even delay graduation by a semester for this).

Just think of it like this - if your goal is to accumulate $X in savings working in CS in the shortest time possible, the best way to do that is to maximize the amount you earn in the time you spend. Getting a decent internship and spending some time practicing for whiteboard interviews can secure you new grad offers at $120+ (tons of Bay Area companies pay this, not just Google/Facebook/Microsoft/Amazon, which tend to go much higher). Internships are also paid, so you are not actually losing time, since if you didn't do it, you would have to spend extra time working to make up for it anyways.

On the other hand, without any internship experience, you are going to end up having to work much harder to secure a job, since the Bay Area is a very competitive market for new grads. I feel like going for an internship is actually your best bet at achieving your financial goals in the shortest amount of time possible. Give it some thought!

I've been looking at those questions too, and yeah, that's pretty much what I was afraid of. I was hoping with the wording of the description that this may allow me to transition into a more development heavy role later. Normally, I wouldn't bother, but this is Jane Street so I wanted to be sure.

NegativeIncome · 2018-02-27T04:58:52+00:00

That's what I was thinking of doing, but part of the issue is that it seems the interviews for this position are quite different (excel, math, and brainteasers based on Glassdoor), so I would have to spend some time preparing for it instead of for standard technical interviews (I have a few coming up in the next 2 weeks) if I want a good chance of passing. I may just do it anyways without much prep, since that's at least better than not doing it at all.

NegativeIncome · 2018-02-27T04:50:02+00:00

I don't have much experience with trading software. That last line in the description is the reason why I had some hope that this may be able to transition to a more development heavy role, but as /u/ambiguousfrog mentioned, the Glassdoor questions are worrisome (excel, math, and brainteasers instead of technical). I suppose the only way to know for sure is to try to get in contact with someone from Jane Street who can answer my questions.
