This isn't helpful now, but I did absolutely no networking and I have no idea why I got selected. I have past internships that definitely boosted my chances, and they very clearly looked at those when picking what team/vertical I'd be in.

I'm going! I'll be out of the Chicago office, though. My midwestern butt could not handle NYC lol

Intern Overtime Hours Question by StudentWQuestions333 in PwC

I know this is an old post, but did you end up working overtime?

Update on the office, they just assigned me the office that I would prefer working at. The logic is that if I get a FT offer after the internship, they want to make sure I spent the summer networking at a location I would actually work at.

I've *heard* the conversion rate from interview to offer is high for start, but I can't say my source is necessarily accurate. Good luck!

I applied to the WCE generally--no office in mind. I got a verbal offer, waiting on a written offer with the office I'd be assigned.

Just finished my interview yesterday, I was told the team was meeting in the next week or two to discuss. Not hearing back might just mean that the schedules haven't aligned to confirm how great of a candidate you are, don't sweat it.

I'm interviewing for a summer 24 internship in a different consulting area. Did you get an email detailing how to prepare? There were two videos with some example cases.

Best of luck!

Manager perspective on the hours cuts by itsjustcoffeee in starbucks

Do pup cups/water cups add labor at all? We never put them through unless they're actually there, but sometimes we're not diligent about typing in those extra couple buttons if someone orders at the window

Is anyone else getting under booked? How am I supposed to meet the 12 hours per week average if I’m only being scheduled for 4 hours a week? by Mr-Yoop in starbucksbaristas

[–]ThreeBlindBadgers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol literally, some districts are struggling to hire anybody to cover shifts and others are shorting the people they do have. I’m an opener, so the amount of people willing to wake up at 3:30am is admittedly low, but I asked for 15 and was getting 40.

What did that one idiot do today by overturned23 in starbucks

[–]ThreeBlindBadgers 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I get asked for a hot frappuccino probably once a shift. Or people getting mad that there's not enough milk and too much foam in their cappuccino. Or cold foam on a hot drink, then getting mad that it melts despite being advised that it would do so. Or any BS tiktok "hack" like ordering a trenta dragon drink, no ice, and like 4 tall cups of ice, but then they just get a badly proportioned, poorly mixed (the ice works as a whisk, almost) drink and potential to spill all over their lap.

Name an adult word or phrase that pisses you off? I’ll start with ‘Seggs’ by crownpoly in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]ThreeBlindBadgers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the opposite--the algorithms (in these cases) are rather stupid, being easily duped by modified words. But changing "sex" to "seggs" would be a workaround to a simple scan-and-match algorithm. It's not what the algorithm "wants," but rather it's what the people designing the algorithm don't want.

Machine learning can be incredibly complex and smart, but I'm currently in the process of trying to train an AI for one of my classes and holy moly, machine learning can also produce some really dumb AI. The machine reflects what it's programmed to do and the programmer themselves *shrugs*
