Bloomberg rejected me sadge

dapper shard
#

@abstract wagon here comes all the chads ready to rail us for being dog ass at OAs man

thorny gorge
#

how easy is C1

dapper shard
#

hes talking about general common assessment

thick ridge
#

was it asana specific

thorny gorge
#

i thought i was hard

thick ridge
#

or the general codesignal

pliant hawk
#

Guys wtf is c1 monkaS

dapper shard
#

ez.

abstract wagon
#

@abstract wagon u said be honest

thorny gorge
#

capital 1

restive falcon
#

Capital one

dapper shard
#

capital one

lethal ore
#

It is definitely harder than interviews for most banks

pliant hawk
#

Ahh ty Iโ€™m noob

stiff vessel
#

correlation one

patent sluice
#

c1 is ez bc they literally only ask questions off of lc tagged and there's like 20 total

thick ridge
#

I remember stressing over c1 lol

patent sluice
#

too bad i didn't know this last year lol

dapper shard
#

capital one isn't hard. they just seem really rng with who they take

restive falcon
abstract wagon
#

peepo did u get c1

dapper shard
#

no

abstract wagon
#

i forgot

#

oh

dapper shard
#

i remember solving pretty much every question and i did good in all the rounds and i got rejection. oh well though

lethal ore
#

What is Blackrock interview process besides oa?

pliant hawk
#

How 7 bypass OA 5Head

abstract wagon
#

They're close to $50 I think

#

oh

dapper shard
#

lmao they was mad asf at you

lethal ore
#

Are black rock interview questions easy?

dapper shard
#

i remember reading that email

lethal ore
#

Is it lc easy/medium

dapper shard
#

yeah i got fucked on that one. he didn't even let me solve it though. he was like "lets just move on" right as i was about to tell him my other solution i had in mind

#

to this day that was the worst technical interviewer ive ever had

patent sluice
dapper shard
#

bruh mine hadn't even been there long. like two years out of college.

#

my first interviewer with c1 was sooo cool though. we both talked about how we got into programming by hacking video games

#

told my tableau interviewer i hadn't taken algorithms yet and she was like "good to know"

torpid wraith
#

ay same

dapper shard
#

passed all test cases but it wasn't the solution she was looking for sadge

abstract wagon
#

omg the real bread

dapper shard
#

yea

torpid wraith
#

๐Ÿ˜ณ

dapper shard
#

hi bread ๐Ÿ™‚

torpid wraith
#

hiya

#

i got banned from xbox when i gave my profile like 250k gamerscore. sad times

dapper shard
#

nah, if i remember correctly i was supposed to do something with binary search and something else. my solution was o(n) when it could've been o(logn)

abstract wagon
#

so some sorted array

dapper shard
#

think it was finding the numbers between a set range with a given lower and upper bound

abstract wagon
#

or divide and conquer

#

ah

torpid wraith
#

so dumb how you can miss out on a good internship and good pay because you were slightly less optimal

dapper shard
#

yeah. was told by some people in the server that is common to get tripped up on

abstract wagon
#

tableau ๐Ÿ‘ป

dapper shard
#

it would've been in seattle and i didn't really want to go there so that kind of works out tbh. honestly jpmc is a good fit for me.

abstract wagon
#

jpmc is good

#

is it local to you?

torpid wraith
#

i like the idea of jp morgan but i dont like the idea of dressing business casual every day

dapper shard
#

nah but it is in Dallas. Dallas is just four hours from my home so i would be able to visit from there pretty easily

#

i wanted to find some place i could go full time where i wouldn't be across the entire nation from family. and jpmc fits that really well. plus i would get to do full stack dev and i really wanted to live in texas anyway

#

do other companies not have business casual as the normal dress code every day? im assuming tech companies are not like that?

abstract wagon
#

tech u can wear a hoodie to work

patent sluice
#

ooo there are a ton of companies in dallas nowadays

#

citibank too

#

c1 is in the area

dapper shard
#

grinding LC hoping i get twitter in Feb ๐Ÿฅบ

#

im also hoping i could somehow sneak into cloudflare when new grad season starts again

thorny gorge
#

fr?

dapper shard
#

its just a diversity thing and they say that those part of the program will have interviews for different departments in twitter. this includes engineering

#

#FirstFlight I believe is what it is called

thorny gorge
#

give me internship

abstract wagon
#

Is the bar for sre/DevOps lower?

torpid wraith
#

@thorny gorge.give(internship);

odd kraken
#

like Atlassian or Google for example

abstract wagon
#

Don't give me bad news super mushroom

#

So it's leetcode or die KEKW

odd kraken
#

idk i guess it depends on your definition of easy sadge

#

like ive had SRE interviews that were more focused on operating systems and networking concepts

#

so not strictly leetcode

#

but not trivial either

dapper shard
#

for boba everything is ez

#

hard stuff is medium

#

really hard stuff are impossible

abstract wagon
#

I would like to try SRE jobs

#

Seems cool outside of being on call

#

not everything is ez

torpid wraith
#

What is a task of SRE

abstract wagon
#

i just think most interviews are very doable

abstract wagon
#

i wish i could

#

sell interviews craughing

#

Social network where you refer people but without the LinkedIn cringe

#

u mean blind

#

Not anonymous

#

Put your bank account on your bio

#

Wait no need to do that, just say that you refer people but never do it. Free money

simple jay
abstract wagon
#

blind is cringe and so is linkedin

thick ridge
#

i wish i could post on blind

#

/ dm people

#

wdym student org email

#

yeah thats what I want it for

abstract wagon
#

I wish I had a email yep

thick ridge
#

i gotta figure out how to get a verified blind acct

brave spindle
#

I guess you gotta wait till you get a work email from internship

#

I wanna see the poll results lol

fresh blaze
#

hi quick question, does flexport OA have front end, or is it just backend and algorithmic problems

dapper shard
#

Does anyone know anything about BNP Paribas at all?

abstract wagon
#

@fresh blaze backend and algorithms

#

actually a little bit of UI theory

#

but mostly backend and algorithms

company // where it get revenue // how it benefits society
Google // ads // doesnt?
Apple // child labor, overpriced products // doesnt?
Microsoft // child labor, created a monopoly //gives %1 of earnings away for good press
Jane Street, HRT, 5 rings etc. //stock market |//gives %1 of earnings away for good press
Facebook // ads, addicting users // doesnt?

vivid lintel
#

big tech is like the company version of douchebags lol

abstract wagon
#

idk just thinking about the purpose of my life
and realizing im not doing any good or going to be for what looks like a while

vivid lintel
#

yea :/

thorny gorge
#

give me internship

abstract wagon
#

i dont want to work in swe
im 90% sure i want to do security research at Facebook, Apple, or Google

#

project zero would be cool

stiff vessel
#

i think ppl often forget what social good these large tech companies do

#

imagine society without internet lol

abstract wagon
#

the internet was fine before big corporations

vivid lintel
#

the good does not absolve the bad

#

and the internet was created by the govt/military afair

abstract wagon
#

and to spread info between researchers

stiff vessel
#

im not dismissing the bad

#

im just saying we should be more realistic

abstract wagon
#

but what good is there

stiff vessel
#

maybe ask some ppl who grew up without internet

#

imagine living daily life without the conveniences of google

abstract wagon
#

duckduckgo exists

stiff vessel
#

imagine google search being locked behind a paid subscription

abstract wagon
#

and its free

#

doesnt collect data

stiff vessel
#

if duckduckgo were as big as google it would also have its bads

abstract wagon
#

but there are so many other search engines that are free and dont collect data

#

so google doesnt do much good

#

also in countries that need info most google isnt available

hollow hawk
#

didnt u have an opportunity to do good ;-; u had a patreon offer

vivid lintel
abstract wagon
#

patreon's $ from simps

#

web dev sucks

stiff vessel
#

what do you think google does with your data

abstract wagon
#

sell it to advertisers

vivid lintel
#

yea

stiff vessel
#

they dont sell ur data

#

lol

#

advertisers ask them to advertise on certain demographics and googles uses ur aggregated data to serve ads

#

which advertisers pay for

#

which fund all the free services u use

abstract wagon
#

how is that better

#

i could just use duckduckgo for free and not have that

dark junco
#

If duckduckgo was big, they would do the same thing

stiff vessel
#

i dont understand the duckduckgo argument lol

simple jay
#

so whats the issue

dark junco
#

Also google offers sooo many good free services

#

Not just search

simple jay
#

theyre not forcing you to use any of their products

abstract wagon
#

it negates whatever good thing google provides

dark junco
#

How? They have to make money

simple jay
#

oops wrong person

vivid lintel
#

I want to just be able to pay google some random amount per month and have them not collect any. of my data

stiff vessel
#

ofc google does sketch stuff and they're a business at the end of the day, so their goals aren't inherently "good"

vivid lintel
#

it's a privacy issue

simple jay
abstract wagon
#

because they have a monopoly on things like youtube

stiff vessel
#

but ppl deem that google adds value to their life, so they use it over competitors

simple jay
#

you dont have to use youtube

#

its a choice

dark junco
#

They only have a monopoly because other products suck

#

It's not like standard oil

thick shore
#

dude

#

how do ppl close out emails

#

at new years

#

do ppl say

#

have a happy new years

vivid lintel
#

that's a pretty bad rgument

stiff vessel
#

just happy new years

vivid lintel
#

there are no alternatives to youtube

#

you can't just not use youtube

abstract wagon
#

idk im not saying all companies bad
just that they dont do much good

simple jay
#

then he has to deal with the service he's using

#

and everything that comes with it

stiff vessel
#

go use vimeo

simple jay
#

if there was a better option without more negatives then other people would use that lol

dark junco
#

The vast majority of people would prefer free to paying for no data collection

stiff vessel
#

not sure where you're living but this is just capitalism lol

limber hazel
#

I really dont understand the problem people have with targeted ads

limber hazel
#

like I get ads for mens shampoo instead of womens...

dark junco
#

I agree they could def add it

limber hazel
#

not sure how thats a bad thing

dark junco
#

But google offers a ton of great services that makes peoples lives better

#

They are a pretty good company imo

stiff vessel
#

if ads werent targeted there would be so much less value in paying for ads

#

none of the services would exist cause they wouldn't be able to fund them

thick shore
#

i applied for pinterest sept 14

#

and they reach out on dec 30

#

โค๏ธ

thick ridge
#

wait why u still applying lol

abstract wagon
#

idk i have ad blockers

thick shore
#

i applied in september

thick ridge
#

oh did u recruit new grad this szn? ic

thick shore
#

yea

#

uber took awhile to officially extend

#

they were waiting on headcount ors omething

thick ridge
#

ah makes sense

limber hazel
#

hopefully headcount is better by next year

#

im afraid of applying for new grad if the environment is similar

thick shore
#

this year was just an off-year

#

previous years interns got their offers the last week of internship

thorny gorge
#

anyone know what baker hughes is like

fringe mesa
#

between FB and amazon which would you take and why

abstract wagon
#

FB

dark junco
#

FB not really close

abstract wagon
#

im grinding for it rn
ready to renege amazon

fringe mesa
#

same^^

#

any reasons why?

abstract wagon
#

i say FB b/c the niche security job i want they have and it looks better on resume

#

also assuming tech.internships is right there is no housing or food cost

#

for menlo park

fringe mesa
#

oh ew for the fb internship? i thought i saw company housing

#

and lunch provided

abstract wagon
#

yeah exactly

thorny gorge
#

what website is this

thorny gorge
#

oh levels

fringe mesa
#

also i thought for the housing, they'd give you a stipend if you didn't want company housing

#

just company is better bc daily transportation

abstract wagon
#

idk

#

i would take free housing any day

#

esp in cali

dapper shard
#

i would take fb security over amazon security

abstract wagon
#

i dont have either

#

but same

#

๐Ÿคž interviewing for both of those next week

#

all i did was leetcode today i have no life

thorny gorge
#

wow

#

I shoulda applied

fringe mesa
#

jan 3rd and 7th

abstract wagon
#

jan 4?

#

oof were competing

limber hazel
#

fb is arguably the best tech company to intern/work for

restive falcon
#

meh everybody has their own opinion

limber hazel
#

I mean there are unicorns/recent IPOs with more pay/upside but for stable, large companies

#

whats better than fb?

#

pay is top tier and they seem to promote relatively quick

dark junco
#

Rentech ๐Ÿš€

limber hazel
#

finance not tech

dark junco
#

I mean algorithmic trading companies is tech, it's not like working at jp morgan

limber hazel
#

obv quant shops pay a lot more

spice mango
#

There are dozens of great tech companies out there

#

What people prefer depends on their own goals

limber hazel
#

of course, hence arguably

stiff vessel
#

in a general case i think google is still better

vital pewter
#

How can I prepare for Amazon oa3?

real nacelle
#

you canโ€™t

#

you could read their LP section but honestly that stuff is more important for final i think

lone orbit
fringe mesa
#

yea

abstract wagon
#

Isn't FB highly competitive during internship? @limber hazel

fringe mesa
#

oh sorry jsut saw this

#

yeah go ahead

abstract wagon
#

Based on your appearance?

#

I don't like rock music

#

Jk seems cool but stressful

vital pewter
#

Isnโ€™t it just lp?

lone orbit

#

my current manager of my part time internship just asked me to take a semester off to work for them, how do i respectfully decline?

fair stratus
#

Sorry Iโ€™ve committed to my studies

brave spindle
#

AP credits OP

dark junco
#

I could if I did like 16 per semester tbh

brave spindle
#

I came in with a year's worth of credits

#

so that could be one way

lethal ore
#

Damn not doing well on ap exams does come back to bite you sadge

brave spindle
#

yeah I didn't realize what they actually did until junior year and I was like shit these are hella worth

thorny gorge
#

or you donโ€™t do a minor lolol

#

@thin stag did u apply for Nintendo

#

@kind adder whatโ€™s the oa like for Nintendo, just wondering lmaoo

kind adder
#

@thorny gorge OA was pretty easy. Depends on the position you're applying for (I think?). I applied to cloud tools. Mix of C# and JS/HTML/CSS

thorny gorge
#

@kind adder I applied to the swe but donโ€™t recall seeing C# as a req, I saw react, aws and Java lol

#

And did u get an offer?

abstract wagon
#

i took 14 AP exams
then the college i went to didn't take any AP credit
and has a shit ton of classes i had to take in bio, phy, chem etc.

#

I'm 90% sure the facebook security interview is going to not be on trees, graphs, or dp
they arent even hinted at on the study guide

#

I'm really hoping since those are what I'm bad at

tribal ridge
#

Why would you take an AP class without the test though? Unless you have financial reasons not to (they're expensive as hell, screw College Board)

brave spindle
#

My school was super competitive so everyone made all their classes AP to max their GPA

upper field
#

Ur schools didn't pay for the AP tests?

abstract wagon
tribal ridge
#

My school paid partially

abstract wagon
tribal ridge
#

Oof lol

brave spindle
#

Oh damn

abstract wagon
#

we also started with AP exams in eighth grade

tribal ridge
#

wtf

brave spindle
#

Yeah rank was based off of weighted GPA

#

Bruh

#

Usually everyone takes AP human geography in 9th

abstract wagon
#

i remember spending all weekend cramming calculus and history starting 8th grade
and then every year after that studying all the time

tribal ridge
#

APHUG was the only freshman AP at our school

brave spindle
#

Same

#

Calculus in 8th?!!

abstract wagon
#

and then not getting in to my top college KEKW

brave spindle
#

Wtf

tribal ridge
#

I'm guessing you live/attended HS in a more well-off area? Cause that does not sound like standard NA education to me.

abstract wagon
#

I got a 5 but had to retake it in college b/c they dont take AP credit

abstract wagon
brave spindle
#

Iโ€™d say I live in a well-off area and even we didnโ€™t have that shit

#

Oh my

abstract wagon
#

everyone at that school was white or asian

#

i was the only black kid lol

tribal ridge
#

Big oof

abstract wagon
#

all that to get waitlisted by CMUKEKW

#

i hate APs they were a waste of time

tribal ridge
#

You probably wouldn't say that if they actually counted towards your college credits lol

abstract wagon
#

yeah i was planning on at least chipping off math reqs

tribal ridge
#

I got some, but I think the way that they considered my AP credits were funky. Some applied towards actual requirements and some were just credits. Not excited to take physics again

abstract wagon
#

i used to like math
then CS happened and I realized math careers aint as interesting

#

yeah i hate that you have to pay to take classes that you know you won't use

#

i forgot everything from freshman year except dfs on trees and basic data structures

tribal ridge
#

Yeah engineering and CS is dope. Lots of changes happening and landing a job basically sets you up financially.

abstract wagon
#

i dont remember any chem or bio or physics

#

that shit sucked

tribal ridge
#

Breadth classes are a pretty bad time use yeah, at least some of them are interesting I guess

abstract wagon
#

my gpa is at a 2.9 b/c physics

tribal ridge
#

Ouch

abstract wagon
#

and the only CS class i could take was intro and then data structures
this upcoming semester will be the first time i can take CS classes i want

#

im so excited

tribal ridge
#

Interesting. I'm stuck with taking intro courses for now, not sure how long until it opens up.

#

You're a freshman right?

abstract wagon
#

im a soph

tribal ridge
#

I see.

abstract wagon
#

2021 will be much better

lethal ore
#

Any semester with physics means it is gonna be a bad semester for me

abstract wagon
#

i was thinking of getting a masters or phd but imma have to pull it up
if i can get a good internship grad school seems pointless

abstract wagon
#

i really hate lc
i want fb so bad ๐Ÿคž ๐Ÿคž with return offer

#

after i graduate i will never interview again other than for security
swe is such bs

thorny gorge
#

lmao depends

#

bouncing around companies is a good idea for a pay increase

pale coyote
#

APs are hella worth it if you go to public

#

took 13/creds per semester and can graduate a year early bc of them

hey guys, so i applied to paypal for SWE, but they wanted to interview for a data quality/data analyst intern role. anyone know paypal's interview process and how long it is? my first interview is a 30 min technical interview, so was wondeirng how much more of the process there is for paypal

#

also would love some tips/advice!

lethal ore
#

I never realized how important ap classes can be

thorny gorge
#

tbh ap credits arent that important

#

its just they are a cheat codes for alot gen eds

dapper shard
#

yeah i did a lot of APs and i have almost a whole year outta way

thorny gorge
#

comes in handy if u wanna take a gap year

#

or graduate early

#

or do 4 years but easier schedule

dapper shard
#

yeah frfr. im doing the four years easier schedule my senior year so i can get a little buffer to do new grad recruiting and hopefully another internship before i go full time

thorny gorge
#

fr they dont tell u this in highschool

unless u tryhard

I think dual credit classes in HS are better than AP if your HS offered them, thereโ€™s no AP test you have to take at the end in order to get the credit, all you have to do is pay for the course and you donโ€™t have to worry about colleges accepting the course either since itโ€™s a college course youโ€™re taking in HS, I got like almost 2 years ahead in college because of dual credit had I stuck with my bio chem major before I switched to CS

stiff vessel
#

But it costs a lot more than an ap exam

#

AP exam is like pay ~$90 for potentially ~$4000 worth of credits depending on where you go and which AP

True

AP Lang and AP Lit were the best AP classes imo

An ap exam costs more than a college course? @unborn coral

I need to see this college

#

Dual credit courses in my HS were done through the local community college, so all you had to pay for is tuition, which is like $55 per credit hour.

Damn thatโ€™s a good system

So really cheap, and from what my classmates said it was easier too.

Our dual credit classes were pricy

I only did AP, I passed all but one of my tests, so I don't regret it at all. In the end I got like 30 credit hours.

English was fun I think it depends on the teacher really, they can make the class very interesting or hella boring

i was normally bored out of my mind in hs english classes but my ap lang teacher was legendary

also because i prefer non-fiction to fiction

My favorite high school teacher was my APUSH teacher.

but the ap classes i'm most glad i took were calc ab/bc because calc 1 and 2 at my uni is apparently hell

What possible incentive would recruiters have for actually wanting to screw you over?

#

I think in terms of incentives because thatโ€™s how people function

I have liked most of my recruiters, but there were some that were bad at their job and it ended up screwing me in the end.

vivid lintel
low epoch
#

Thatโ€™s fine. Ignorance and ineptitude always tend to be the reasons for anecdotal bad experiences rather than malice

#

Recruiters see buzzwords on resume, might do a phone screen, and pass you onto the tech managers/employees who make the final informed assessment. It doesnt seem like they have any more than 10% of the influence in final decision

#

But yeah if iโ€™m recruiting stanford kid A and no name school kid B then iโ€™ll prob be rooting more for A and interview them sooner, etc

feral shoal
#

Most times when people have bad experiences with recruiters it isnโ€™t regarding final decision. It is regarding the process because they are supposed to be a guide through the process.

low epoch
#

I wonder how many companies have inept HR/recruiting deptโ€™s but legit swe/tech teams. I feel that number is larger than people would think

feral shoal
#

Iโ€™ll give a personal example. I was going through the process with a company and I passed the OA. I was then moved on to scheduling, in order to schedule my interview. I scheduled my interview, but then I had an unexpected family emergency. So, I reached out to my recruiter to ask about rescheduling. I specifically asked about headcount and would I be ok to push my interview a few days later. She said they have plenty of headcount and I can reschedule. Fast forward, I am logged on to zoom waiting for my interviewer. Five minutes pass, 10 minutes pass, etc. I email my recruiter to see if she can locate my interviewer, and she said my interview has been canceled. They filled their intern class. She then said she sent an email to tell me, but she did not. Then, I get a generic email from the company an hour later saying the intern class was filled.

100% the recruiter goofed up, that sucks so much

Anyone who interviewed at AMZ and got an offer despite not fully the question/solving optimally? Or needed hints/etc?

#

# round cloud Anyone who interviewed at AMZ and got an offer despite not fully the question/so...

For my amazon interview, I started with a brute force approach but I told my interviewer that it was just a starting point and that I knew it wouldn't be the most optimized yet. Then we walked through some test cases together and I came up with a more efficient, but slightly convoluted solution. He asked me a few questions about some parts of my code and when I took a closer look at what I wrote, I was able to simplify it down to the desired solution. Afterwards, we had a good conversation, talking about his experience at Amazon. I got the offer 2 days later.

So while I didn't really get direct hints, I still worked through the problem together with my interviewer. Personally, I don't think interview coding challenges are all about just writing the most optimized solution immediately. For internships, I feel like it's more about showing you are teachable and easy to work with.
