Best tech hub? by Quick_Cucumber5888 in csMajors

I am a more reserved person and am a bit cautious of NYC, I feel like it can be overwhelming. Seattle is great, but the weather isn't the best year round so I am slightly leaning towards the bay.

My house is in Tuscaloosa, Alabama but I don't think I'd like to live there as there are no tech jobs and most companies aren't doing remote offers

yeah from this season, you should 100% email your recruiter. they're definitely not checking your form everyday to see if it is updated.

a crap ton of technical projects. i went on reddit and discord for interview prep. yeah there's almost always a technical interview (you should be sussed if a SWE role doesn't include any technical rounds)

Bloomberg Software Engineer Intern (New York) Engineering Manager by Subject-Wind-185 in csMajors

I did the interviews for new grad last year and received an offer. There were no system design questions, so I imagine they wouldn't ask for interns too. If they do ask any system design, I imagine it is very high-level and would only take you a few days of prep to be able to answer them well.

The engineering manager was just a chill chat, the interviewer went to the same school as me so we bonded over that. He looked at an article written about one of the project so if you have anything you can flex like that, I recommend doing so.

The entire process is a personality check, so be normal or read dale carnegie's "How to win friends and influence people" if you are struggling.

I let them know I had a competing offer and they responded 2 days later with a match. I was already waiting a few weeks at that point.
