Wife's going to school in NE and I need to relocate to nyc/nj city next year. Both tech and finance will do. A friend in nyc recommended Bloomberg. I can solve roughly 30% of unseen mediums, not always within 20 mins tho. I'm gonna prep more before going for F/G/Snap/Salesforce. How hard are tech interviews in big banks? (eg JPM/Goldman/Citi) Must have: visa sponsorship for next 2-3 years (gc is incoming) Desirable: 40h/week so I can keep leeting Medium high tc tc 250k sunnyvale skills: python, go, data engineering, aws, ml, cloud infra
@hurrayy I bet you should try interviewing with Bloomberg. I will not be surprised if you are not able to clear the first coding interview!
Aww, truth hurt your feelings? Why make this personal - it's a great place to work, but I still think they are not at par with fang in some ways and likewise. Hope that makes you feel better.
My only issue is clubbing Bloomberg with banks is not fair at all. Bloomberg is a tech company at heart and engineers are first class citizens here. I personally work in a high performance distributed systems team and the code quality along with the hiring bar is top-notch. Not to forget the TC can easily go to around 350k or more and all in cash depending on how good you are.
Many big companies have offices in ny now, so try your hand in those as the pay is comparable to sf/bay. Banks and fintech companies like Bloomberg are a tad easier than fangish companies, but pay is lower too. Good luck!
Bloomberg is not bank or fintech. It's a media and tech company. Also, hedge funds such as Citidel and 2Sigma has TC almost the same if not higher than FANG.
True about tc, but that's not everything. If op is optimizing for wlb as well, citadel/2sigma/hedge funds can be a bad choice.
