- Choosing Between Summer Internships Hi guys, first post. I am a sophomore at Stanford studying computer science; I was originally planning on graduating early in 3 years instead of 4 (all these companies treated me as a junior) but now I am thinking of graduating with the rest of my class but with a BS and MS in CS. I am interested in
- New hire compensation talk at MAN Group - Quant Dev Goldman has really failed to deliver at my Jan comp talk and now I have the last round interview scheduled with MAN Group for Quant Dev role in their AHL team - equities systematic trading business (or something apparently exact placement decided afterwards). According to the recruiter the money ta
- vote Goldman Sachs Offer - Associate PM, advice? Received an offer as Associate Project Manager in Salt Lake - can anyone chime in if I should take it? I’m leaning towards no, currently a Technical Project Manager at EM and think if I study more system design I can get a PgM role at a tech company (but not necessarily faang). Reasons to take it:
- What was the hardest time you faced in your career which made you more stronger? Same. Motive is to seek motivation for hard times. Sharing mine: I once switched job to a startup for making more $$. Came all alone to a new city. But to my horror it was extremely toxic place. Colleagues used to be scared of getting yelled from boss. It was a small company. 6-7 people. And the C
- How to get into PDT/Hedge funds/HFT/PE? I’m currently working as a full stack dev, been at my current company about 7 months, but I was curious if anyone has gotten into any of these types of firms from a non FAANG.

- Frustrated with Tech Career, Need help!!! With my regular dev job, I get bored for some reason and just loose motivation to work on anything. Mainly coz I dont see the worth of the thing I am doing, I seriously lack passion as a dev. I dont get excited when you say this impact millions of customer. I think who cares, i am not a businessman.

- When to move on? When is it time to move on from a job? I’m pretty comfortable in my job, but also bored and frustrated. I have an average FAANG salary (350 TC, L5, perf usually EE, but have never done better than that). 17 YOE with 10 at G. Married, turned 40 this year and have a kid. Boss is chill, super flexible
- GS -> FB. Concerned that FB is too similar to GOOG. TL;DR - Got a SWE offer from FB (MPK). Worked at Google before, didn't like it. Currently in GS, I like it. I feel that I would not enjoy FB since it's similar to Google. Is moving to FB worth it? Long version: An FB recruiter reached out to me so I decided to do the interviews since I haven't expe
