Used college confidential in high school. It was toxic addictive gossip forum to see other kids with lower SAT score getting admissions at elite colleges. 4 years later, using Blind. TC: 2400 SAT, 2380 SAT 2 (Phy, Chem, Math 2), 5 AP, 3.99 GPA, Valedictorian, Science club president, Chess national ...Read more
Just curious. It seems like there are very few on here.
im thinking input your university email and then itll be like yikyak all over again. maybe filter them out into a kiddie table but will make for interesting stories
Its the same kids now as adults. Swap GPA, SATs etc with TC. TC 120k
This place seems like the logical endpoint for all the overachievers in school. Now instead is obsessing about SAT scores and GPA, it's all about the TC. If this describes you, what's your plan after this? I highly doubt VPs and CEOs have time to hang out on the Internet to brag about their total n...Read more
I know wonder what % of interns use blind compared to what % of full timers. I expect less but we'll never know since the data is too hard to collect. I knew about blind but didnt create an account during internship days
Blind TC's are full of motivation which made me grind LC, but want to know is it possible from a mediocre college?
What made moving at the end of each year a headache or obstacle?
In 2014, my senior year of college, I sent out a handful of applications and got the first job I interviewed for. I hadn't bothered to do market research and the application had a required "Desired salary" field; I put $70K because that sounded like a lot of money, and that's the offer I got. Fast...Read more
College confidential (admissions) -> r/csmajors Reddit -> Teamblind -> ?
Back on blind for the first time since last winter. Wondering if ya’ll are starting to land interviews/offers this spring. I’m ready to leave Amazon. I’ve been here since I graduated from college and I feel like I’m stuck. How’s the market for someone with 4+ YOE? TC: 275 YOE: 4.5
I have worked at multiple FAANGs and non-FAANGs. They are just companies ffs. You can do interesting and boring stuff at either. I really don’t get why Blind is so obsessed with FAANGs and putting these companies up on a pedestal? Is it a real thing or are people just going with flow like the Alber...Read more
I graduated from a school that is hated on Blind, r/ApplyingToCollege, and Quora. The only place that doesn’t hate it is College Confidential. How badly does this reflect on my resume? Edit: stop trying to guess it, @Niantic was the first one to guess it in this thread
A friend introduced me to Blind at the beginning of the year and I quickly realized that what I previously thought was out there was way below the reality of what people were actually getting paid. Im a first generation college graduate so I didn’t have anyone to advise me on the realities of what i...Read more
Note: i am a third year undergraduate cs student in tier 3 college. Asking this question because ... 1) I noticed that people from my college and other colleges (in india) who didn't even get good internships or jobs(or got jobs in tier 3 companies), after completing master in USA, they got job ...Read more
Hey team blind, My sister is graduating from a Tier-1 MBA college in India soon. Just wanted to know which tech giants have a good learning curve and pay graciously for a fresh MBA grad with background in core tech (coding) and 2 years of experience prior to MBA? Also, does #meta hire from India ...Read more
Everyone on blind seems to be making 250k+ , first year out of college
When I was in college, computer science and the software industry seemed far more welcoming than it is on Blind now. I feel like people here only really care about TC. Whenever I see Blind posts, they berate people based off TC, where they live, maybe even their race, etc. Even advice seems to be de...Read more
