How can I study for dp problems on snow OA 🥀

js use cluely

Using cluely not worth it gang just do the OA pure blood sweat and tears

proud mauve
#

How much is the premium

tranquil sand
#

Let's say it works 3 out of 4 times

#

You're still gambling on what's probably a multi year blacklist

#

Just do OA and intv stage legit

Plus how u gonna cheat on in person intv

I really don't feel like prepping

Fuck I really should...

if you did well in the prev rounds and nothing to improve on yeah

#

raw dog it

I feel like I did good in technicals but LPs could've been stronger

#

I had good stories but I was slammed on follow-ups

How would you recommend doing that

#

I just went through all my STARs and practiced them daily

Tbh

#

If you need to resort to cluely to get an internship

#

you should just wrap it up rn

tranquil sand
#

Ehhh it's weird right

quaint basalt
#

You’ll likely have a very limited career if that’s the path you take

tranquil sand
#

Cuz one could argue if you could do the job fine then cheating the intv doesn't matter. Others would argue that the point of the filter is that too many are qualified

#

It depends on how you define fairness

quaint basalt
#

I mean, it is a situation where too many are qualified

#

But in the grand scheme of things

#

Leetcode is nothing compared to other stuff

dense dagger
quaint basalt
#

terrible mindset to have

dense dagger
#

broski im telling you what i saw

quaint basalt
#

the only way the bar is raised is if so many people are using it

#

Which they aren’t

quaint basalt
dense dagger
#

yea

quaint basalt
#

Neither of us are 100% correct, there is likely some middle ground

#

I’m just in the boat where if your mindset is you need to cheat and lie

#

To that degree

#

Then you likely are not the type of person who will achieve great success later down the road

dense dagger
#

im in a parallel boat ive seen em cheat and make it, trying to get as good as the cheats

quaint basalt
#

If you’re using cluely in interviews, your resume is strong enough to get you there, and it’s just a skill issue

dense dagger
#

how they potray themselves

quaint basalt
#

If you’re using it on OAs, you’re cooked to begin with

#

Because OAs are usually easier than interviews

dense dagger
#

i guess you did goog proc or smth

#

i did the msft oa in like 3 minutes lol

#

it was a very easy lc medium or a lc easy

quaint basalt
#

and there could be very skilled people who just don't want to spend time with leetcode

#

but realistically

#

a majority of people who resort to cluely do it because they genuinely just aren't as capable engineers

wide sleet
#

I agree its quite rare to find someone who genuinely cannot lc but is still a good builder

tranquil sand
#

Lmfao

quaint basalt
#

github green asf but not my lc

quaint basalt
#

from my experience you just need to be capable enough at lc and a cracked builder and you'll be good for some interviews

#

but once again

#

99% of people using cluely/interviewcoder/etc aren't that

#

no

#

lmao

#

if im ahh enough to need it

#

ion deserve it

austere path
#

obv ppl who are using ti would never admit it lol

but like isnt it obvious that ur using it

Meta raybans + cluely

Don’t waste time on leetcode when you can grind Odin project instead

#

hi yall one of my friends is doing imc launchpad for swe and they were wondering what kind of games they would be playing

quaint basalt
#

idk about ppl in us, but apparently massive userbase in asia

sullen quartz
#

some OAs are pretty hard icl

#

but if you are actively using cluely/interviewcoder u are not a capable engineer

#

i feel like even a subpar engineer should be able to solve basic DSA questions which is what most companies ask anyways

#

i mean the line between some random chud prompting and an actual engineer is the problem solving skills and knowledge of CS

#

which is very well tested thru DSA interviews i feel

#

i mean besides like FAANG+ most companies just ask like

#

reverse a linked list

#

anyone with a CS background should have the intuition to come up with a solution for this i feel

steel wind
#

thats true but i also feel like most companies besides fang are turning away from leetcode

steel wind
#

thats why i feel like faang interviews are a but easier than other tech companies

#

that actually go through ur github and grill you on the choices you make

sullen quartz
#

just raises entry level bar bc u need experience to pass take homes or pair programming ints

steel wind
#

which make more sense than blank leetcode

steel wind
#

grinding leetcode has less than 5% benefit during real work if you dont actually know how to make appropriate design choices and prompt lol

sullen quartz
#

FAANG processes are definitely a bit easier, just harder for screening

#

ive gotten notorious super specific niche questions from like

#

local companies

steel wind
#

i know banks have the easiest lol

#

bofa literally just asks behaviral

narrow sierra
#

anyone asking super niche shit just wants u to fail

solar notch
sullen quartz
#

some of the IBs require a lot of networking for good RO chance

#

very behavioral heavy in general

quaint basalt
#

no, engineers are using ai to delegate the writing aspect

the implementation is often still engineer heavy

#

the point of interviews is to test your capability as an engineer

#

if it were at a level where anyone can do anything, then why are there engineers

quaint basalt
#

i was asked fizzbuzz for a company near my campus which isn't insanely small

#

and didn't have to do any leetcode for john deere

#

the issue is that 99% of people either want to be handed a big tech internship, or they just aren't paying attention in class

#

they had to nerf tf out of the data structures class here because over the years, scores were going further down

#

This is not a good thing to try imo

#

you get a few months of salary for free sure, but this is a permanent stain on your career

verbal sonnet
#

months is unrealistic, especially if you have standup and 1:1's, it's going to take like 2-3 days for your manager/teammates to realize you're gone

quaint basalt

#

sounds counterintuitive

#

u should want to delay grad for more internships

#

IMO

quaint basalt
undone mirage
#

but either way speeding up your graduation isn't helpful at all

#

in the case that you do or don't

quaint basalt
#

it isn't speeding up grad

#

it's basically swapping a summer internship term for a fall internship term

#

and fall classes for summer classes

#

but also

#

you could make the argument delaying grad means you'll be competing against more people for promos

#

n stuff

#

Because more ppl enter the market each year

#

or u could do what im doing

#

just do internships and take classes at the same time

#

Ds get degrees

undone mirage
#

better to enter with something rather than nothing

#

in the case that you aren't getting anything for summer

quaint basalt
undone mirage
#

getting something for fall is just a lot harder

quaint basalt
#

im not saying making it early

#

there's also a situation

#

where you have a good off season internship

#

but dont get smthn nearly as good for summer

#

like great winter ass summer internship

#

where it would make more sense to just take classes in the summer and recruit for fall

quaint basalt
#

but let's say you're an inc junior

#

without an internship

#

if u take classes during summer

#

you can then recruit for incoming senior summer + fall

#

if you get smthn good for summer, could get smthn even better for fall

#

or push a summer offer to fall

airbnb 🗑️ ⛹️

brazen plaza

wait where was this said

hasty dome
#

I would not be suprised tho... because all of the thrive applications come from those schools

urban ore
#

they def made ts up

#

how would they know

brazen plaza
#

i know doordash is around 80 interns

#

i think it's doordash

#

the schools seem reasonable for that, numbers in the right ball park ish assuming that person is wrong about the numbers

#

airbnb HC too low

hasty dome
#

yeah the headcount for interns is too high i think

brazen plaza
#

it can't be snowflake

#

snowflake would have more than 6 figure apps surely

#

yeah

#

they also implied that it's < 6 figures

liek for swe intern only?

noble lion
#

how to get fall interview?

proud mauve
#

I prob won't take OS

#

Too hard

#

Cs

#

It's not required here lol

noble lion
#

bro OS is one of the easiest CS classes in this whole school

proud mauve
noble lion
#

in evening

proud mauve
#

Ok

noble lion
#

bro im deadass tho

#

OS here is so laughably easy

#

you can coast off 252 knowledge

austere path
noble lion
austere path
#

oh alr

#

i hated os bruh

noble lion
#

my schools OS Is really easy

austere path
#

genuinely the first topic i met in cs that i disliked

noble lion
#

its weird cause the school is known for being "rigorous" / grade deflation

#

but like bro its like they want everyone to get an A in OS

austere path
#

lool

proud mauve
#

Did you find 381 easy as well

noble lion
#

labs are sub50 lines and they dont rly test anything beyond the prerequisite systems class

austere path
#

rigorous is just larp in 2026 bro

noble lion
#

but so did you so

proud mauve
austere path
#

anyone can learn and get through anythign with gpt

proud mauve
#

I'm cooked 🥀

noble lion
noble lion
#

basically everything in my schools OS class

#

is straight from the systems class, which u have to take before

#

so even without gpt its mad easy

#

yea

#

zamnn

proud mauve
worthy palm
#

for me it was just comp org -> os for CS

proud mauve
#

For ours we just need to write like a little bit on exam and get free points

worthy palm
noble lion
proud mauve
worthy palm
#

as cpe u took digital logic & computer systems, microprocessor applications, and digital design

noble lion
worthy palm
noble lion
#

lowk compe gaps cs

#

u learn everything in cs + way more

worthy palm
#

some things are def skipped

#

but i do think that the cs is easier to self-learn

#

like its kinda hard to self learn buying a bunch of ICs and putting micro controllers together and stuff

#

whereas when u take a class, finding the parts has already been done since u usually get a pre-made lab kit

#

so instead of figuring out whats compatible u get to just learn how to use them

#

once u have used one system, it becomes much easier to generalize things

#

I saw that

#

also i grew up near that

noble lion
#

W uni

proud mauve

worthy palm
#

the towncenter nearby is really nice

proud mauve
#

And maybe 381 where I learnt about reductions and stuffs

worthy palm
#

what is 240 and 381

noble lion
noble lion
#

240 was p famous recently

#

cause of the AI cheating thing

worthy palm
#

when i took algorithm analysis

proud mauve
worthy palm
#

i had the single semester where this specific professor was teaching it who didnt believe in exams

noble lion
worthy palm
#

so the entire class was project based

#

and he told us to purposely use AI to solve an algorithmic problem of our choosing

noble lion
#

project based algorithm analysis?

#

bro what 🥀

proud mauve
worthy palm
#

so I made some statistical problem with the football draft and transformed it into a different problem

noble lion
#

I mean next sem im taking a fully project based class

worthy palm
#

it was actually kinda cool

noble lion
#

embedded systems

lilac thicket
#

OMG CHRISTO

noble lion
#

idk if algos is the class for that sort of thing tho

AHHH HES HERE YALL

embedded was one of my favorite classes

#

proud mauve
#

If I can reduce 3 Sum to Subset sum does that imply P = NP 🤔

worthy palm
#

yeah i went to uf

#

most fun 5 years of my life

#

yeah I was compe

#

did both bachelors and masters there

#

i got my masters for free by being a TA for the senior design class

#

they paid me the same as a phd student

lilac thicket
#

wait christo are you doing phd now?

neat hemlock
#

the problem amazon asked me

#

was technically np hard for the most optimal

#

unironically i have heard of this happening more than once

#

but they pass u even if u don’t get optimal

#

so it doesn’t rlly matter

#

no it was some weird version of traveling salesman according to gpt

#

i’m a freshman

#

but it was just asking me to find out an order to complete some set of deliveries so i just used a heap and did greedy

#

i’m taking algorithms rn

#

i need to learn np reductions by tomorrow
