I’m an incoming freshman at NU planning on majoring in Computer Engineering. As someone whose eventual goal is to become a software engineer these videos have been extremely helpful so thank you so much 🙏!!!

[@lucywbeck]

Np! I’m glad you found them helpful! Also congrats on NU!

I recently graduated from NYU and will be attending GHC 2023. Thank you so much for sharing these invaluable tips; they have been incredibly helpful in getting ready for the event! I hope I'll have the chance to meet you there as well.🧑‍💻❤🙌

[@lucywbeck]

Aww no problem! I hope to meet you too!

i heard it's terrible from the first day because of how crowded it is and how many non-binary/lgbt imposters

[@lucywbeck]

Thanks for all the info especially regarding the preparation for the interviews. Also, does GHC send out an email for the list of companies or do you have to make a list on your own from the sponsors page? Also, I will be attending GHC this year, and hope to meet you there. Thanks once again.

[@lucywbeck]

GHC does not send out an email for the list of companies but you can see them on the sponsors page! Hope to see you there too!

[@apurvisaini]

Hi Lucy, thank you for this video! I wanted to know where can we find the list of companies attending GHC this year?

[@lucywbeck]

They usually post the most of companies on the ghc website!

[@ravennnnn77777]

Hey Lucy, thanks for posting this very informative and insightful video! This is my first year attending GHC so I’ve been a little stressed but your video definitely helped. One thing I’m concerned about is that despite uploading my resume early (like 3 weeks ago), I still haven’t heard from a single company. People are saying that they are getting emails from recruiters asking them to apply, but it’s been radio silent for me. Do you think that generally there would still be a chance for people to get an internship going into GHC without any invites?

[@lucywbeck]

Hey np! I wouldn’t worry too much. It’s definitely possible to get an internship going into GHC without any invites! You should still apply to companies that are sponsors of GHC regardless of whether or not they send you any invites! I hope that helps! Good luck!

[@zhaohongyan2638]

Hi Lucky, it's really helpful! So according to what I heard, some companies will hold interview directly at GHC booths, but some are not, they just let you apply on their website? Even if they can provide a referral, but I think we can also easily get referral on the Internet or Linkedin. So it that worthwhile to line up and wait for a long time just for a referral? This is my first time so I don't know exactly what it's like. Usually how many companies do you able to talk to in one day? And how to know which companies are interviewing on site? Thanks!!

[@lucywbeck]

It’s up to you to decide what is worthwhile. You can usually talk to multiple companies in one day. Companies will tell you if they’re interviewing on site. Good luck!

[@vaishnavirajput-er2im]

Hi Lucy, this is quite an insightful video! Could you please shed some light on how to make the best from virtual GHC, as I'm attending for the first time, virtually this year? Thank you in advance!

[@lucywbeck]

Hi thank you! The preparation is the same (apply to jobs, practice for interviews, etc). The interview process is also the same (technical and behavioral interviews). I think the biggest difference is that you should try to reach out to recruiters and attend as many virtual events as possible. I hope that helps! Good luck!

[@krishimanek1267]

Hey Lucy! I did upload my resume to the database but I haven't been contacted by any companies. Any advice/ help would be appreciated, thanks!

[@lucywbeck]

Hey! I’d just continue to apply to companies and reach out to them when you get to ghc! Good luck!

[@shridhikhandelwal9593]

Hi! Any tips from your Goldman Sachs interview? I have the same one at GHC!

[@lucywbeck]

Know your data structures and algorithms! Good luck!

[@roopasingam8088]

Hi, Where can i find the list of companies that are attending GHC'23

[@lucywbeck]

Hi, it should be on the ghc website!

[@subhikshaganesan2591]

do the virtual tickets get sold out like the in-person tickets as well?

[@lucywbeck]

I’m not sure but good question!

[@himabindukrovvidi894]

I uploaded my resume a long time ago but haven’t received any emails. Is there anything I missed out on?

[@lucywbeck]

I wouldn’t worry too much about it! Most places will reach out closer to ghc!

[@VijithaG-by5zg]

@@lucywbeck Thank you, I've uploaded my resume a while back as well but haven't heard back. I uploaded my resume as a guest, is that okay?

[@lucywbeck]

@@VijithaG-by5zg that should be fine!

[@pratikrandad1990]

Hi Lucy, I hope this message finds you well. Having recently watched your KZbin video on the Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC), I found it extremely helpful in my preparation. I'm a graduate student at Northeastern University, actively seeking full-time roles in the Data domain. I'm contemplating attending GHC in person, but I have a question. As a male attendee, would I have the same opportunities for company interviews as women do at the event? Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

[@lucywbeck]

Hi, I don’t have much knowledge on this topic.

[@vedantkokane8473]

How did you prepare for coding assessment i.e online assessment

[@lucywbeck]

Mostly leetcode and cracking the coding interview!

[@vedantkokane8473]

@@lucywbeck is this for cracking OA because I am finding it quite tough to solve the OA’s

[@lucywbeck]

@@vedantkokane8473 yes! OA’s will be different from leetcode but the core concepts tested will be the same!

[@vedantkokane8473]

@@lucywbeck ohk tnx 🤗

[@shalakatakale5740]

Is there a list of companies that come for the career fair at GHC? Is the list available on the website after we buy tickets or is there a way to find out which companies would be participating before?

[@lucywbeck]

@@shalakatakale5740 Sponsors are listed on the GHC website. They are continually added as more sponsors sign up. The website is public.

[@bostonlights2749]

Don't you think women get an unfair advantage ? Most of the women who come, are privileged, and have access to the same school and universities. Both genders work hard.. Do you think it is fair to give few people easy interviews into companies, whereas guys would not even get shortlisted ?
