My friend who got the offer from the March hackathon: not 3.8k
I got offer from May hackathon: also not 3.8k
(hint: annual 1st digit is 6)

If it's of any help, both of us have a STEM degree with no good hons (<= 2nd lower)

Unable to advise on those who got 3.8k offers, don't know if they are trolling or serious.
Of course, it's also up to you to believe my words since anyone can say anything here.
