Graduated from the University of Maryland in 2018 with a CS degree and currently living/working as a SWE in the northern Virginia area right outside DC. I'd like to break into the NYC tech scene and would be very appreciative of referrals in Manhattan. Also, I'd be open to practically any tech company, but some that come to mind are: datadog, facebook, google, twitter, spotify, dropbox, seatgeek, salesforce, square, stripe, uber, lyft, paypal, bloomberg, snap, venmo YOE: 1.5 TC: 90k
Palantir is really looking for people for the NYC office
@dark5eid, are you now at palantir? Can you do a referral?
Dm me for a Lyft referral
Can I DM too?
Ya
dm me for snap
Hey, are you still giving referrals? Mind if i dm as well?
How's Cvent?
The company is rapidly growing so I’m sure my experience isn’t representative of the technology department here as a whole, but for the most part it’s pretty relaxed. The WLB is great and my manager is pretty lax on working remote (i work remote once or twice a week). The culture itself is incredibly fun, however a lot of the characters you’ll meet are in sales/finance so definitely have to go out of your way to make friends outside of tech. Benefits aren’t the best but HR seems to be aware of this and working to improve that. In my opinion, it’s definitely a great first job and the tech stack is relatively up-to industry standard so you learn a lot.
