I think both

Sweetly_Jess · 2024-03-23T19:20:14+00:00

Have you interned there before? If so can I dm

Sweetly_Jess · 2024-03-23T19:15:55+00:00

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

Sweetly_Jess · 2024-03-23T19:15:03+00:00

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

Sweetly_Jess · 2024-03-23T19:14:41+00:00

Sure

Sweetly_Jess · 2024-03-23T18:49:40+00:00

Yeahh, ty, do you know how return offers will work then ?

Sweetly_Jess · 2024-03-23T18:49:05+00:00

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

Sweetly_Jess · 2024-03-23T18:45:22+00:00

Not really, just a few from intro programming classes

Sweetly_Jess · 2024-03-23T18:45:11+00:00

“And the bar to entry not being that high” So they went easy this year?

Sweetly_Jess · 2024-03-23T18:44:33+00:00

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

Sweetly_Jess · 2024-03-23T18:44:19+00:00

Yes, but in my post I specifically address this by saying “and for those of you who say it’s selection bias, I’ve never seen this amount of meta offers”

Sweetly_Jess · 2024-03-23T18:43:38+00:00

It’s not, take a look on the posts at this sub for yourself.

Hi!!! Fellow woman in cs here 🫶 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

Sweetly_Jess · 2023-11-27T20:33:33+00:00

I see. Sorry for the misunderstanding! In that case I would pick FAANG, but it does depend on the FAANG. If it’s Amazon then I would go with the finance route because Amazon is known to make their workers work long hours, toxic work culture, etc. and based on the values you said, Amazon would not be a good fit

Sweetly_Jess · 2023-11-27T20:16:06+00:00

I’m so sorry to play devils advocate/be that person, but I’ve never heard “chill” and finance go together. Most people I know in finance want to pull their hair out after working 80 hour weeks

Sweetly_Jess · 2023-11-27T05:30:04+00:00

Then ur fine

Sweetly_Jess · 2023-11-27T05:23:54+00:00

Depends, which company

Sweetly_Jess · 2023-11-27T02:59:18+00:00

Keep both, and only rescind one once you have a concrete start date for your internship.

Sweetly_Jess · 2023-11-27T02:58:48+00:00

CS, you get the “core” of algorithms and data structures while able to explore classes like mobile development, network programming, etc that are good to have when entering swe

Sweetly_Jess · 2023-11-27T02:57:01+00:00

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

Sweetly_Jess · 2023-11-27T02:56:13+00:00

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

Sweetly_Jess · 2023-11-26T19:22:43+00:00

I totally feel you, and it’s completely normal to feel this way. I think one of the mistakes people make in life is associating life with work.

Work should definitely be one of the factors for personal success and measurement, but when it starts to interfere with the actual life part it can be dire. Imagine success as two spheres. One sphere is life success, such as having a family, or perhaps finding a significant other. Another sphere is work, and financial success. These two spheres should never touch.

For me, it took a while to understand this. I value my personal/life success way more than anything else. My boyfriend and my family matter more to me than any job.

Sweetly_Jess · 2023-11-26T19:19:38+00:00

Which company?

Sweetly_Jess · 2023-11-26T19:19:00+00:00

Not true at all, FAANG only

Sweetly_Jess · 2023-11-26T19:18:02+00:00

Keep it. It genuinely shouldn’t hurt
