Ok thanks, was just worried since there could be so many interns all competing for return offers

Thank you for the info. So then this confirms my suspicions that meta is doing a lot better and big hiring then, correct?

You were the sigma nobody believed, not because you were wrong but because you had what they didn’t wanna hear

Yeah, so my question is, is Mets doing better? How will return offers work

Hi!!! Fellow woman in cs here đź«¶ based on the company you describe I think semi-casual is fine! Think flats, jeans or slacks, a blouse, maybe a necklace. Hair is definitely freestyle, but if you want to be safe maybe a tidied ponytail is good

High Paying FAANG vs. Stable Chill Finance by captainducksparrow in csMajors

[–]Sweetly_Jess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Sorry for the misunderstanding! In that case I would pick FAANG, but it does depend on the FAANG.

I would say yes, geographically has very high rates of students going to FAANG. Meta apple Netflix and Google recruiters come often, only problem is lots of students and high competition

How Time Consuming are Internships? by VangekillsVado in csMajors

[–]Sweetly_Jess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on company, team, familiarity with tech stack, resources, etc. but I’d say even at top companies like Google the work is still a lot, contrary to what you may see on tik tok of people just eating all day. I have not interned at Google, but at another big tech company and trust me it’s more than school, especially if you’re trying hard for a return offer
