one interviewer asked oop design, other asked an lc med i think

I say lc med because if you know your graph theory well, you can reason out the solution on the spot

anyone got tips on reducing nervousness before an inerview?

marsh meadow Dec 10, 2020, 1:42 PM

If it's an interview I care about it's sorta hard to reduce my nervousness, so I just accept it, calm my brain and do breathing exercises to control the physical symptoms which help control the mental symptoms

marsh meadow Dec 10, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

I think interviewing after you get an offer helps your future nerves because you become familiar with the experience of not caring about the result anymore. Then when the result matters again in the future, you already have all the synapses formed which I think partly helped me not get super nervous anymore

they purposefully design bags and jewelry at lower quality for outlet stores - there's several news pieces on youtube about this. With j-crew, for instance, if you see diamonds stitched onto the brand tag at the collar of a t-shirt, you know it's from an outlet store. the regular j-crew stores don't have them

opendoor looks way more interesting, at least to me. Plus they're more of a proper tech company, so engineering culture would probably be stronger than C1

however, if you want a more structured intern program, cap one has a very large intern class and plenty of systems inp lace for sure

#

also plenty of c1 alumni in big n

but, personall,y, i feel opendoor might stand out more on a resume

since cap one hires shit ton of interns

It’s not really bad or anything but if u need the space yeah it’s good content to eliminate. I just think you’re reachin when u put ongoing stuff, like you havent completed it

Well... it depends on your religious and political stance. And most importantly, your bank balance!
I personally love Dallas area because all my friends are from there, and it's cheaper! And it's closer to a lot of non Texas cities.
However, if you're a city dweller, then Austin would suit you far more than DFW. DFW is HUUGE and it take 2 hours from end to end

thats good to hear, just haven't much about imc prior to applying

the reason i'm even considering bloomberg is cause i think i'd prefer to work full time at bloomberg rather than trading, mostly cause of wlb

but Bloomberg you can prob get away with 25hr weeks

yeah from what i've read its come to the morning meetings and leave whenever you're done

#

i think imc's brand might be a bit stronger in the us than it is in europe, could be cause they don't have a london office

also the chicago + nyc offices are probably larger than ams
