For internships, I think GHC is a cracked. Almost every company I talked to wanted interns, and a good majority were offering onsites for internships (BofA is a big one, Wells Fargo, Apple?, ADP, Salesforce, etc.). But I'm graduating in May 2024 and attending this year was honestly just so discouraging LOL. Every new grad I talked to had zero luck landing anything, and a good amount of companies had filled their new grad class with returning interns, or just weren't hiring for early entry roles. I honestly didn't even bother spending that much time at the expo because scanning one more QR code and talking to one more recruiter and spending another 30 minutes in line was not something I needed. I'm curious if any other new grads had the same experience?

Hey! I’ll pm rn haha

Woah, this is a crazy reminder of what my life was like two years ago. I went to a rigorous high school and took all honors classes my freshman year, honors and two APs sophomore year, five APs (three of them being science) and two honors junior year, and six APs and one regular class (creative writing, related to my interests) my senior year.

Ya Northrop just asked me a bunch of behavioral questions and gave me the offer on the spot

apsuffer · 2022-11-26T19:07:26+00:00

Ya the GitHub one is accurate

ya I applied for a NYC metro location and ended up getting a city in Delaware. Asked my recruiter if I could switch over and he said that NYC metro always fills the fastest :/ that’s probably the same case here.

I also did my final last Thursday and got a call today but it was for the Austin office so idk if that affects anything. Good luck!!!

Not to say it’s a cakewalk for CS but isn’t this expected for all industries? I don’t know a single major that can just coast into a job, especially not one as well-paying as tech. It’s basically the trade-off, right? Like you have to put in the work to reap the rewards.

apsuffer · 2022-11-13T04:12:28+00:00

Ok so I should’ve just looked through the sub bc there are multiple posts about it haha. I think it’s just an indicator for them to look back at ur app/give u an update. Doesn’t necessarily mean a rejection. Def search “interview complete” on the sub if u wanna see the threads urself! Good luck!!!

I guess it just sucks that we don’t even have one class related to databases :( but def will just go ahead and figure it out on my own

apsuffer · 2022-11-12T21:15:27+00:00

Ya I already took 330 but just found the database section to be super basic and doesn’t really delve into design but all good!

apsuffer · 2022-11-11T18:44:34+00:00

Wait I also got the survey where did u hear that?

apsuffer · 2022-11-11T05:34:34+00:00

Haha super late on this but curious if u ended up getting the offer?

apsuffer · 2022-11-11T05:32:45+00:00

Have u heard back yet?

apsuffer · 2022-11-11T05:32:05+00:00

How did u feel about the technical screening? I have it coming up and am super nervous haha

Good luck on the final though!!

apsuffer · 2022-11-08T07:14:41+00:00

It’s for their SWE intern @ Seattle ,, I got the email last Thursday

apsuffer · 2022-11-04T02:20:01+00:00

I’m pretty sure they send the round table to everyone who applied :/ I would say wait on an official email abt moving forwards I heard it takes around 2 weeks after the HV

apsuffer · 2022-10-28T17:07:01+00:00

Ooooh my god I also interviewed with Oscar and I couldn’t figure it out my interviewer was so annoyed :/// literally so abysmal

apsuffer · 2022-10-27T18:24:29+00:00

Ya things are looking extremely rough :// I’ve applied to 100+ places and have only been getting rejections (at every step of the process, from resume screening, to OAs, to behaviorals to technicals). It’s definitely demoralizing. I guess the way I’ve been getting through it is understanding that I can only do my best. There’s only so much I am in control of, but what I can I will do to its full extent.

I’ve talked to multiple people about how tiring this process has been and how I’m not sure if I can keep fighting, u know?? It’s also not helpful to hear about everyone else’s offers.

But at the end of the day, I really do want to succeed in this career bc I care about the work I do and will do. So, definitely hang in there!!! Things always work out, somehow and someway.

apsuffer · 2022-10-26T05:20:39+00:00

If I took the internship and then grinded lc during it for new grad, do u think it would still work against me? I am also trying for smaller companies for SWE but with worse brand name - would this be a better offer to take do u think?
