We talked about some behavioral interview tips mainly + tips around the hiring process in general.
General Tips
Some people are freaking out way too much. It is okay to not hear back right now. The whole application process mainly is Sept 1st to Oct 15th, so you need to imagine, even people in the process right now are in the earlier end, as we transition to more and more interviews.
Company Specific:
Meta:
People are having relatively decent success in my opinion. Obviously, not everyone is hearing back, but a good amount of people in the Paid channel in Discord, are finding success cold emailing the NG recruiter that we have. And even those without initial success are able to follow up.
I’ve added a new data point to that sheet.
Google
The current Google recruiter datapoint we have, seems solid and responsive. New issue is that she now seems to be focusing on new grads, who have graduated, with some level of industry, who is looking to break into new grad hiring.
YMMV, I had a couple people in the past month get through for new grad without graduating. But maybe she is getting more overwhelmed now.
Palantir
Continues to be a hit or miss. You probably need to hunt this down yourself, but they are responsive if you can get a good recruiter. Which is the tough thing.
Bloomberg
Seems to only be hiring through their career fair link. This is shared in the paid discord channel + other avenues / ways to find it. It doesn’t seem that there is a blocker that they must have attended your school + you must have gone to the career fair.
YMMV with Bloomberg, I am seeing about a 10% to 20% success rate here, so much less than Meta. But for people who are getting reached out, it is great to know they are hiring. This year might continue to be restrictive as they did last year.
Amazon
Continues to be nothing happening 🤔. Not much datapoint to what I am hearing.
