If you're not trolling then I mean you need to learn how to be happy with what you got bro,

Also funny that people compare salaries.

"oh i make 10k / monthly, haha plz"

lmfao you go to any club, any social event, literally NO one knows how much you earn and no one cares. if you bring it up you just sound like you have nothing but "salary" to showcase lmao

your personality is literally "oh I got $$$"... yikes. these kinds of people are more cringe than SG tiktok trying hard to follow trends and repeating the same memes back from 2010.

why so many round one?

they follow FAANG protocol

shopback, shopee etc also have 4-5 rounds. its a standard among all these high paying tech companies, it's to weed out devs who try to cheat on online assessments or pair coding interviews.

I heard bytedance remove the weekend working thing

uh huh and where did you hear this info from? this trash forum?

here's my advice, you wanna know the truth, go network with actual bytedance engineers on linkedin and they will tell you the truth lol this forum is the last place i would take any company related info on.

Means oversupply of CS graduates liao.

Get ready for pay cut next year

I tried for bytedance and it's insanely hard. Respect to those who make it, u really need at least 1-2 years of pure competitive programmer grind to even make it to 4th round interview.

But let's be honest, these companies along with FAANG and anyone else earning >6-7k and happy with their job won't ever frequent this forum

It's true, the engineering level and talent is very good. Unfortunately lots of docs in Chinese and colleagues default to Mandarin very often. Jumping to other FAANG depends on how much you take away and develop here, but overall it is a different experience I think.

I heard hiring bar is not that insane nowadays, but depends on exact role you are applying for.

They pay pretty well too, definitely can match/exceed Google/Apple at the same level. Especially if you believe in the RSU, and bonuses for good performance can be very hefty, more than 6 months for E.

Work hours wise, so far I work more like 10-7-5 as SWE. Can't share more as too easy to dox, but I basically don't get touched after 5.30 unless we have meetings with colleagues in other time zones. It depends on whether the pace you work at is acceptable to the manager or not.

For those of you who think Bytedance is another insula has-been, think again, that's all I gotta say - I admit I did also harbour such thoughts when I joined.
