[tacit halo]

and hope one moves ur resume forward

networking is just to avoid getting filtered out by resume

[abstract tiger]

I am in last sem of MS. I don't have much knowledge of network. Which aws certification should I do for considering job opportunities?

[humble sparrow]

i think he meant networking as in like informal networking to get referrals

but probably solutions architect? it depend if you want to work in cloud space

even most ppl at aws don't have aws certs

unless they're in like proserv or something like that

[ionic rune]

Any1 know if Twitter did resume screening before sending the hackerrank? Just curious

[eternal torrent]

How long does amazon give the result

[muted leaf]

just tryna hear some opinions,
Square SWE vs Microsoft SWE for internship?

[thick shore]

square

[muted leaf]

👍 aight thanks for opinions

[thick ridge]

when did people start posting leetcode solutions on linkedin

so cringe

[obtuse otter]

huh?

pic

[thick ridge]

ill dm

[still gazelle]

send me a pic too

it depends on how they phrase it

if theyre bragging about it, its def crigne

[dapper shard]

i think i know what you're talking about. saw a guy post his top down DP solution on linkedin

[thick ridge]

yup

[muted leaf]

send me one too 🤔

linkedin revolution

[still gazelle]

i wish you could anonymously slander someone on linkedin

[muted leaf]

make an alt

[lilac cloak]

that means youre interacting/caring about the wrong ppl

also this mindset is so bad

if youe in swe and say "you worked at amazon" people have an idea, and if they want to be sure, they prod

if they dont respect me regardless of where i work, i prob dont wanna talk to them anyways

[muted leaf]

any internships are good

as long as you learn something

this happened to me like a week ago and honestly it's a good way to filter some people out of life

not to burn bridges but to keep the circle small

[lilac cloak]

keep the circle filled eith sustainable relations

[obtuse otter]

y’all tryna make a shared LinkedIn account solely used to bully people ?

[lilac cloak]

you dont habe to cut ppl off, but just consider less if they show red flags and dont wanna change

[lilac cloak]

this is kinda prolematic no?

the solution is not cancel culture

[muted leaf]

come together to make one whole big brain

[lilac cloak]

just let them do their cringe whatever on linkedin

[muted leaf]

ngl it's good to keep them within linkedin

[obtuse otter]

honestly lay people think amazon is prestigious too. told my roommate that I was interviewing and he was hype, and he told our neighbor and she was hype too. ur hanging out with weirdos if they tell u amazon isn’t cool

[muted leaf]

i dont want to see them anywhere

[lilac cloak]

i dont think it's particularly prestigious, but just my opinion

i think my parents do

but not a relevant detail

it pays nice, but it's hard to tell unless im tlaking with my friends

[obtuse otter]

yeah my personal opinion is that it’s prestigious

[lilac cloak]

bc then it just sounds like copium

[obtuse otter]

It’s kinda like the Cornell of companies

[lilac cloak]

no credibility to random ppl on the internet

[lilac cloak]

ye but no suicide rate

just pip name

[obtuse otter]

suicide replaced with pip

[lilac cloak]

i have a hunch tho that pip isnt as bad

just like

significant subset of ppl

like cant tell if bad workers or bad managers

[dapper shard]

im pretty sure that pip is like the bottom 5% or something

[lilac cloak]

prob a combination

[obtuse otter]

there’s an attrition of 15% of their employees every year

[lilac cloak]

like i think it's a vocal minority kinda thjng

[obtuse otter]

it’s bad

[muted leaf]

do interns have pip thing

[lilac cloak]

the turnover is jigher than most companies

[obtuse otter]

yes their turnover is artificially high

[dapper shard]

no

[lilac cloak]

but i have a hunch it isnt as cancer as ppl on these troll ass forums reddit/blind think it is

[dapper shard]

the only company close to them in turnover is netflix

[lilac cloak]

either way im dippin out of amazon within 4 yrs

[low epoch]

Lol at amazon is the cornell of companies

[lilac cloak]

so pip doesnt even mstter that much

at least not for me

[dapper shard]

i actually think netflix turnover is slightly worse

[obtuse otter]

I saw a recruiter on blind say that unregrettable attrition is 15%, pip is 5%

[low epoch]

Yeah but does netflix have a culture problem?

[dapper shard]

blind lul

[low epoch]

Other than turnover

[lilac cloak]

the netflix turnover is definitely worse, but that doesbt make amazon betyer

[lilac cloak]

afaik no

[obtuse otter]

But when you pip 5% of your base at the largest tech company in the world...

[dapper shard]

tbh

[lilac cloak]

but i also havent rly looked i to it

[dapper shard]

i don't think netflix culture is that good

but thats just me

[lilac cloak]

bro can you please stop spreading toxicitu

[low epoch]

Once i heard of fb’s line of code monitoring i decided...i will never gun for fb

[muted leaf]

^

[obtuse otter]

no sympathy for people who work at Netflix

[muted leaf]

i mean if i can ever

[lilac cloak]

how come?

[low epoch]

I guess i just havent heard bad things

[obtuse otter]

they make too much money. if not Netflix they can rest and vest at Microsoft

[dapper shard]

they monitor your lines of code produced per day

[lilac cloak]

internal server for this where everyones scores are available

[low epoch]

And that info is accessible to fellow engineers and used in evals

[lilac cloak]

interns also graded

[dapper shard]

🤷‍♂️

[lilac cloak]

more than yourbpeers

[low epoch]

Reason #32 why i believe the word faang should be banned

[obtuse otter]

Facebook culture is weird. Whether it’s useful or not I feel like all the companies have those quirks

[lilac cloak]

faang is just for stonks rho

tho*

[low epoch]

Replace faang with top companies

It’s old school term

[lilac cloak]

top companies for tech isnt synonymous with faang

[dapper shard]

i just want an update from twitter

[low epoch]

Faang, outdated, misleading

[obtuse otter]

why do undergrad cs majors say faang knowing good and well they can’t get Netflix?

[low epoch]

We’re all gunnin for top companies. Full stop. Acronyms mean shit

[obtuse otter]

It’s always been weird to me

[dapper shard]

i almost said google

[lilac cloak]

msft not great for ft long term tho

[obtuse otter]

Like the acronym is just plain shitty when 20% of them won’t even offer you a job

[dapper shard]

but they don't like us drillking

[low epoch]

It’s in the name bruh. They count it

[lilac cloak]

hard to climb intenral ladder in msft for pay

[low epoch]

Contributions

[dapper shard]

@lilac cloak if you don't care about career progression msft is fine

[lilac cloak]

^^

drill rly wants the bag tho

[obtuse otter]

go to LinkedIn then

[lilac cloak]

si idt it's for him

[low epoch]

My reasoning is there are LOTS of companies better or on par with faang

[dapper shard]

shit id work at msft the rest of my life

rest and vest

[low epoch]

So faang is horrible

[lilac cloak]

yeye linkedin is a good option

[dapper shard]

idc about career progression

[lilac cloak]

idk abt twitter

[obtuse otter]

Better wlb but Microsoft stock 😈

[lilac cloak]

one guy i know at twitter was demeaning as fuck

[dapper shard]

twitter has pretty fast progression

[pliant hawk]

msft seems chill

[dapper shard]

msft is really chill

[lilac cloak]

but n = 1; pool too small

msft rly chill

[obtuse otter]

lots is misleading. Def like 10-20 tho

[lilac cloak]

eh i wouldnt like

count on it i guess

[dapper shard]

thats my plan tbh

[lilac cloak]

p common in tech to jump between many companies in 20s

[muted leaf]

what are even good companies for full time

besides twitter

[pliant hawk]

Is msft only in Seattle or are they in Cali too? Idk shit about em

[low epoch]

Yeah but ppl here still trash on msft because it scales at o(n) instead of o(nlogn) lol

[lilac cloak]

a good portion of the time, you get a notable raise from jumping ship than staying internally

[low epoch]

I mean the pay

[dapper shard]

honestly a ton if you are just job hopping

[low epoch]

I’m being facetious ofc with the big o

[muted leaf]

what about in long term

[lilac cloak]

idk msft is fine no?

[muted leaf]

idk seems like every top tech companies arent good

[lilac cloak]

just chill at msft

respectable no?

[dapper shard]

depends on what you are aiming for long term

[lilac cloak]

yeah

[dapper shard]

rest and vest honestly you can just go work at a bank

[obtuse otter]

sales force is chill too right

[dapper shard]

and make six figs

[lilac cloak]

if u dont want a mansion or soemthing, just work at msft

[dapper shard]

and not do anything really

[muted leaf]

lmao

[lilac cloak]

depending on how often msft will turnover old ppl, msft sounds like a good plan

[obtuse otter]

bank pay is way worse as a senior engineer I thought tho

[turbid otter]

Facebook is pretty good for FT, good pay, fast career trajectory/promotion, rewarding work, althouhg WLB can be bad depending on the team

[low epoch]

I’ll make 150k and chill 100% of the time rather than 250k of stress

[pliant hawk]

4 years a long ass time monka

[dapper shard]

you still end up making six figs if you a senior is the thing

[lilac cloak]

ive heard v bad wlb, but maybe is vocal minority thing

[dapper shard]

ive heard bad wlb too

[turbid otter]

its team dependent

[stiff vessel]

banks will pay six figures for analyst level developers now

[dapper shard]

yes

[obtuse otter]

Ya but 100k diff from 300k, and I think lifestyle inflation will screw u over in that aspect

[lilac cloak]

i think amzn similar

v team dependent

v manager dependent as well

[turbid otter]

amazon ive heard is bad all around

[obtuse otter]

Fuck Twitter I hope it does

[turbid otter]

😂

[low epoch]

Someone on here who interned at G recently said something like “damn fb speed is google x 1000”

[lilac cloak]

oof

[low epoch]

Imagine a top candidate saying that about fb

[obtuse otter]

Dies* that last sus wave legit ruined my timeline

[muted leaf]

rip still gotta be lucky even if you go in those companies hoping ofr good team

[lilac cloak]

yeah hesrd 1 month of google code = 1 day of fb code

[dapper shard]

idk to each their own. i personally wouldn't be living much of a different life between those two ranges.

[turbid otter]

yeah if u dont get promoted every 2 years at FB u get fired lol

[low epoch]

Peepo i love how u think

[dapper shard]

depends on when the next social media platform will takeover. and right now there just isn't another one to handle the type of people that get on twitter

when the next social media isn't a tiktok or snapchat, maybe twitter will die

[muted leaf]

as long as snap is alive...

[dapper shard]

man im done working at 50 years old lmao

[lilac cloak]

i think twitter is gonna die before i die

[dapper shard]

twitter will die before we die

that isn't debatable imo

[lilac cloak]

that being said, im not gonna be working at twitter til i die

so that metric idnt too useful

[dapper shard]

ill retire before it dies so

🤷‍♂️

[obtuse otter]

no but the issue is you can’t really rest and vest if there are no stocks to vest. your lifestyle may not change between 100k and 300k, but your retirement prospects do. honestly at 55 I want to be like a consultant part time and the rest of the time I wanna chill out with my kids and literally spoil the fuck out of them 😭 personally don’t see that happening at a bank tho

[low epoch]

Stop justifying shit wlb and toxicity

[lilac cloak]

^^

[obtuse otter]

Mark zuckerberg is so ugly dude

[lilac cloak]

have you seen bezos

[obtuse otter]

How is he a billionaire

[lilac cloak]

[obtuse otter]

bro they all ugly

[dapper shard]

i mean just handle your own stocks instead of vesting in the company. understand that rest and vest includes vesting into the company but personally im not gonna worry too much about my stock options when i will handle my mutual funds and etf investments anyway

thats just me tho

[low epoch]

Lol one day here everyone posted ceo’s and rated em

[stiff vessel]

wat that’s not what vesting is lol

[low epoch]

I think like 10% of the mfs were aight

[dapper shard]

well then im dumb 🤷‍♂️

[obtuse otter]

Yeah makes sense. I think my biggest thing with banks tho is how rigid they are. Like I’ve heard people at google can go around the office without shoes 😭 def seems more chill than banks

Wait, do you even get fired st a bank?

[dapper shard]

no not really

[obtuse otter]

Like at defense corps it’s hella hard I hear

[dapper shard]

they just move you to different teams

[lilac cloak]

drill you should def look at quants if youre chasing the bag

[dapper shard]

until you just suck at everything and then they fire you

[obtuse otter]

nvm that’s iq then

[dapper shard]

heard its like that at jp morgan

[obtuse otter]

show up to work and just don’t do anything

[dapper shard]

also jp morgan i hear your pay goes up to 100k-115k depending on what you do after two years in the rotational program

so like

ive also considered long term at jp morgan

[obtuse otter]

Idk if he wants to spend more than half his week at his job tho

[lilac cloak]

i mean he doesnt seem to mind wlb, which can vary at quants

hes v interested in money tho

[dapper shard]

banks have a lot of red tape i hear but otherwise they are pretty chill for the swe. only thing is that you are required to dress business casual while at tech companies you aren't i believe.

[lilac cloak]

and theres gpod money to made made at quants

[dapper shard]

that is one reason i want to go to tech instead of a bank

[obtuse otter]

drillking will learn that he actually is a wlb simp

[low epoch]

Bruh peepo

100k at jpmc

In h town

Is dream

Fyi

[dapper shard]

yeah im really thinking about that for Plano location. that money goes a really long way there

[low epoch]

H town >>>>> plano dallas

[dapper shard]

really considering just not doing new grad interviews and just taking my return offer there even if it isn't 100k base

[obtuse otter]

How does quant get talked about so much whilst only comprising of like less than 10k employees in the US

[dapper shard]

i want to be in DFW though cause it is growing quickly 😦

[lilac cloak]

et make big monie

[low epoch]

Banks are good place to start

[sonic badger]

What's htown

[lilac cloak]

thats all

[low epoch]

Houston

[lilac cloak]

ngl did u fees td

[pliant hawk]

Mad cheap in H town

[sonic badger]

Is col reasonable there?

[dapper shard]

because of this bubble that is cscareers.dev

[sonic badger]

[dapper shard]

LCOL compared to other places in the US that are tech hubs or have a lot of SWE work

[low epoch]

[sonic badger]

What about all the crazy ass rednecks with their guns

[low epoch]

In tx???

[obtuse otter]

stop it was virtual this year. you’re making me sad

[dapper shard]

metro areas are liberal. rural areas are redneck

[low epoch]

Nah bro we need guns in tx to defend our cattle

Let us be

[lilac cloak]

idk bro fb wlb is awful too

[dapper shard]

^

[lilac cloak]

(from what i know)

[sonic badger]

Are there big tech companies with offices there?

[obtuse otter]

bro people irl do not know what hedge funds are. that’s when I learned that this place is really a bubble

[low epoch]

I dont care if people work at fb, coinbase, defense, whatever. Just admit to yourself there are flaws; thats it

[dapper shard]

yeah.

[obtuse otter]

we are like the qanon sect of Facebook

[sonic badger]

Ngl all these natural disasters and shootings make me extremely weary of moving there

[dapper shard]

i never heard of jane street or two sigma or any of the quant firms and shops before i came to this server. i never heard of even most of these tech companies before i came to this server

[dapper shard]

thats why im moving to DFW. further away from the coast

[low epoch]

At least in houston if u lived on good elevation u were spared. Nah trust me ur safe from shootings if u are in safe hoods

[obtuse otter]

No shot im doing a virtual step bro idk why people suck that programs dick

[lilac cloak]

dfw?

[sonic badger]

What's dfw

[obtuse otter]

After virtual cssi nty 😭

[dapper shard]

Dallas/Fort Worth area

[low epoch]

I live closer to tx mexico border and trust me shootings are more likely there lmao, we got cartels like 30 mile away

[sonic badger]

Doesn't Texas get hurricanes and shit

[lilac cloak]

huh

when does texas get hurricanes

[sonic badger]

Idk

[dapper shard]

lower half of texas that is on the coast yeah

[sonic badger]

It was a question

[lilac cloak]

thats futrther to the east

[pliant hawk]

I thought floods

[lilac cloak]

i think

[dapper shard]

but even that is kind of rare

[lilac cloak]

lots of southeast cosst

[sonic badger]

Ngl it never happens here

[low epoch]

If ur working tech in tx u will be fine. Just choose high elevation and stay away from galveston

[sonic badger]

Kinda nice

[obtuse otter]

fuck google !

[pliant hawk]

Speaking of natural disasters, Cali got that San Andreas fault over due

[stone tiger]

i remember one time i was in houston. It just happened to be that summer where there was a hurricane and the place i was at, was completely flooded lmfao

[low epoch]

What’s more likely to kill u, a tx hurricane or driving on ice in the east coast

[obtuse otter]

Do google SWEs even get to do anything interesting? I feel like everything is over engineered because there’s so ducking many of Ben

[sonic badger]

AWD + studded tires

I drive in snowstorms all the time

[low epoch]

Ok cuz us southerners hate ice

Ice is devil

[sonic badger]

I'm not so worried about dying

More the inconvenience

Oh having everything destroyed

[lilac cloak]

grew up in mass; am used to ice

[dapper shard]

i mean there is an entire team in google that is dedicated to the "reply to comments" feature in Google Docs

depends on what you do

the company is huge

[sonic badger]

Ngl that's why Vancouver lookin real comfy

[dapper shard]

honestly at entry level you aren't going to be doing anything interesting

[sonic badger]

Good jobs

Decent weather

Limited crazies

No hurricanes (yet)

[low epoch]

I just realized i was changing in front of my open window. I think i put on a show

Canada seems nice

I never hear complaints esp if ur waterloo u get the world handed to u lolz

[obtuse otter]

teamblind ofc

[lilac cloak]

not me, but might as well be me

since ive heard of same thing before

[obtuse otter]

no shot

[lilac cloak]

maybe not 2 yrs on the dot, but arounf yhere

[dapper shard]

honestly i want to just move up to L5 and then stay there. i don't want to move to management personally

being a senior swe for my entire career sounds so much better than being client facing

[lilac cloak]

i think the issue with chilling in one position is the risk of getting replaced with a younger person

at amzn that seems p unfeasible, but idk how fessible it is at google

prob just check internal demographics to figure it out

!

do you know any?

[low epoch]

Yeah thanos is right

[lilac cloak]

will add em to my radar

[dapper shard]

im in the industry to program and engineer shit. not to be in meetings ALL the time and hardly get to do the fun part of the job

[low epoch]

Sr engineer is terminal

For most

With no probs

Maybe not “for most” but it’s fine

[lilac cloak]

o

i mean sr engineering has few spots at many places no?

but once ur there u prob chilin

but gettin there is not chillin

[pliant hawk]

Teach Comp sci in HS, just make the class leetcode engineering

[dapper shard]

almost would be a HS CS teacher but then i would have to listen to education boards and shit.

[lilac cloak]

would be hs cs teacher, but half the kids dont even wanna learn

[dapper shard]

"you guys should do leetcode if you want to improve your skills"

[low epoch]

Just join board of education for a school after teaching i guess

Mfs make $&&

[lilac cloak]

you can do tutoring

[dapper shard]

this is really the wave tbh

[lilac cloak]

depending on demand

[pliant hawk]

Imagine learning how to make actual shit. Hell nah. Leetcode time

[lilac cloak]

just do hs cs tutoring and some like

interivew prep cap thing

theres some guy on the amazon discord

[low epoch]

Lol you’d be helping high schoolers a lot if u taught em LC

[lilac cloak]

soliciting a cap business

[icy juniper]

What language do you guys do interviews with? I've been using Java but a lot of people told me to switch go Python but idk if it's worth

[lilac cloak]

tbh

you have msft and goog iirc

[low epoch]

Go python

[lilac cloak]

thats prob good enough already

[pliant hawk]

Python makes life easy

Easier*

[dapper shard]

i know python solely for interviews

[stone tiger]

If you know java already, its prob fine to keep using java

[lilac cloak]

ive just been using java for interviews

[dapper shard]

whats wrong with you

[lilac cloak]

wait but this isnt as bad tho tbh

python rly clean for inteeviews

although it's awful on the computer

[pliant hawk]

Waterloo mfs

[icy juniper]

I've been doing Java for the past 2 years, but I haven't spent like a ton of time in it. We jused it for all our ds and a classes so I've just been using it for interviews as well

[dapper shard]

ive never developed shit in python tbh. i only know how to leetcode in it lmao

[low epoch]

Waterloo mfs never post theyre too busy working

Chads of the server

[lilac cloak]

can always start tutoring on the side now

[dapper shard]

waterloo just different tbh

honestly though

[pliant hawk]

Legit 6 internships when they graduate

[dapper shard]

the people from rutgers in this server also different too

[low epoch]

Imagine going to waterloo and complaining

Dont @ me u waterloo kids

[dapper shard]

this whole server just different

[pliant hawk]

I wouldn’t know half the shit unless for the server

[lilac cloak]

ye u take it off eventually

but the msft explore is gonna be converted into ft right?

id the plan

[dapper shard]

same! this server boosted my entire professional career in arguably the worst year any of us have ever experienced

[pliant hawk]

Dis a good ass server for basic questions most of the time

[low epoch]

This server is where i hang with my fellow 6 ft handsome faangers

[dapper shard]

imagine being 6ft and handsome

[pliant hawk]

I’m 5’8 with my ultra boosts

[mossy swan]

Imagine being handsome

[lilac cloak]

[pliant hawk]

Imagine being

[dapper shard]

at least we are internship chads though right

[mossy swan]

I’m ugly and no internship rn

[sonic badger]

@lilac cloak

daily prayers wtf

[low epoch]

in the name of the father the ghost and the holy zucc

blessed be thy zucc

grant us our internships

and wlb

amen

[lilac cloak]

am prayed in other server wtf

ngl

[sonic badger]

ngl

flex harder

[lilac cloak]

????

ngl

[sonic badger]

ngl u still didnt pray for the homie

[lilac cloak]

bro he got my prayer

i got the read reciept right here

[low epoch]

god never hits me with the read receipts

[still gazelle]

god leaves me on delivered

like every girl i talk to

[dapper shard]

relationships are overrated anyway. focus on yourself during these years dude.

[mossy swan]

I did that and was single every year

[low epoch]

“Just focus on yourself”

• every single person ever

Jk peepo is right

[dapper shard]

i lost the opportunity to work an internship because of a relationship i was in soph year. just focus on yourself and you won't be held back.

[still gazelle]

i was joking about that statement but ur right

dont let someone else hold u back from ur dreams

and bettering urself

[eager valve]

this u

[dapper shard]

eh yeah.

[pliant hawk]

this your year king, rise up

[dapper shard]

lol its fine. im doing better than she ever will anyway. but this aint the channel for all that 🙂

[flat vine]

OoOoOH SNAPPPP

[dapper shard]

this all of our years 🙂

[eager valve]

bro u already won

half these incels will never touch a girl

[pliant hawk]

wait

wrong person, dammit

[pliant hawk]

KING SHIT

[abstract wagon]

was this why naruto was an only child

[dapper shard]

you live and you learn 🤷‍♂️

eh i ended up taking an internship later that spring instead of the winter so

it worked out anyway

aint looked at her the same way after tho

but she all kinds of messed up anyway so im glad i got out while i did

[vapid condor]

Yo is delaying graduation for internship a good idea at all

[still gazelle]

depends on how much experience u have

[dapper shard]

eh it depends on what you're trying to accomplish

and yeah how much experience you have

[still gazelle]

if u have like 2 internships naww but if this is ur first then it might be worth it

[narrow patrol]

also curious

[thick ridge]

only if you don't have any internships currently imo]

[vapid condor]

0 experience at junior year

[still gazelle]

yup

[thick ridge]

get one this summer and ur chillin

[vapid condor]

Trying

Very

Hard

Rn

[still gazelle]

its a hard year bro

how many applications have u sent already

[vapid condor]

Probably 120 so far

[low epoch]

Even 1 mid tier internship will set you up well

[dapper shard]

might want to send out a lot more

[still gazelle]

triple that amount

[vapid condor]

Ya sending out more everyday

JheeZ

Ok

[thick ridge]

I think I was at 240 before I stopped counting

[still gazelle]

try to hit 15-20 a day

[dapper shard]

^

[vapid condor]

15-20 a day

Okok

[low epoch]

Set a realistic goal

Yeah

[dapper shard]

i stopped at 211 after i signed back in oct

"just"

[vapid condor]

Ic

How do y'all have that many postings everyday

[dapper shard]

pitt git repo

[vapid condor]

I can barely find 10 thats new per day

[still gazelle]

do u wanna hear my strat?

[vapid condor]

Ya

[low epoch]

Go down fortune 500 list and also pitt repo and conference sponsors

[dapper shard]

well over 500 on that git

[vapid condor]

Please

[still gazelle]

go on linkedin , type in “software intern”

[vapid condor]

@abstract wagon only 3 interviews

[low epoch]

Idk if people sort by new. Where do u do that

[still gazelle]

then apply to as many as you can

[low epoch]

Linkedin?

[vapid condor]

I did that

[still gazelle]

then check every day

Sort by past 24 hours

[vapid condor]

I think ya

[still gazelle]

Bro ive hit 20-30 a day doing that

[abstract wagon]

didnt you fail fibonacci

[vapid condor]

[still gazelle]

[low epoch]

Same bru i failed most of mine u good

[still gazelle]

try to aim for the local more unknown companies

[vapid condor]

The AMD interview was interesting but, they are a hardware team looking for something in software and they didnt end up picking me

[low epoch]

How are ur soft skills

[vapid condor]

Then theres this startup thats ghosting even after i sent out emails

I think its ok

[dapper shard]

ngl i got resume rejected at all of my local companies here in arkansas

[low epoch]

If i put u in a room with 10 strangers how many friends u making

[dapper shard]

but also one of the recruiters asked me where is my "objective statement" and i just looked at her

[vapid condor]

I havent gotten any feedbacks from anyone for my softskills tho

[abstract wagon]

there will only be me left

[low epoch]

Add a minor or something maybe?

[still gazelle]

For how long?

[thick ridge]

[low epoch]

1 hour

Like an interview

[still gazelle]

[low epoch]

💯

[worn scarab]

u can do it

[still gazelle]

i make acquitances easy

just gas those dudes up and theyll simp for you

[vapid condor]

Probably the closest 3 sitting beside me lmao

[abstract wagon]

they're only friends if it's a mutual thing bro

[vapid condor]

Oh in an hour?

Uhh

Maybe 1

[dapper shard]

we don't make friends here. TC is our only friend

[still gazelle]

naw bro the way you make friends is just being interested in them

[vapid condor]

At least 1 i think

[low epoch]

When u pass in the hallway someone u def had class with and talked to but dont know their name

[still gazelle]

its not hard to be interested in people when all ur doing is leetcoding 24/7

[vapid condor]

Bruh u asking these kind of softskills?

[abstract wagon]

them: "y tf this kid always trying to chat me up"
me: ah new friends

[dim sentinel]

wrong chat LOL

[worn scarab]

all of them

[low epoch]

Right chat

[vivid lintel]

I'll make friends with anyone who talks to me, but I'm too awkward to initiate myself lol

[still gazelle]

did we ever figure out who was posting those porn gif reactions

[vapid condor]

[abstract wagon]

wait what where

[vapid condor]

Wtf

[still gazelle]

her

[dim sentinel]

So Twilio hasn't sent me a rejection email after their OA is that a good sign or bad sign

[still gazelle]

here

[vapid condor]

I havent seen any

[dim sentinel]

other ppl got the rejection email

[abstract wagon]

damn i didnt see any

[vapid condor]

I wonder if theres a point in applying US positions from canada

[dim sentinel]

exactlky

[vapid condor]

Im talking about the sponsorship

[dim sentinel]

the money

[vapid condor]

Dont they insta reject

[dim sentinel]

some companies do

[dim sentinel]

not all of em

[vapid condor]

Ic

[dim sentinel]

but with Covid its really hard

I have been applying to both US and Canada and only a handful of companies have given me the OA

and then ghosted

[vapid condor]

Do u have prior experience

[still gazelle]

were those OAs automated

[vapid condor]

I think mine was

These were sent out to everybody

[dim sentinel]

yeah I did one internship as a data science intern

[vapid condor]

Ic

[dim sentinel]

not all of em half of em were

[vapid condor]

So its just as hard with a little bit of prior experience

[dim sentinel]

yeah but I think thats cause of Covid tho

so many companies haven't posted due to it

[vapid condor]

Covid gonna last til 2024 i stg

[worn scarab]

true

it'll definitely be a while, idk - at least we can guesstimate now that there's a vaccine

[dapper shard]

"hes still developing"

[worn scarab]

how many are waiting for side effects from the vaccine to show up?

[still gazelle]

he pulled kendall so i aint gonna diss him

[worn scarab]

not an antivaxxer or anything, just acknowledging that it was developed mighty quick. might have a few bugs, i can wait

[thick ridge]

no don't give a fuck

here for a good time not a long time

gimme that shit expeditiously

[dapper shard]

i had my hesitations about it but fuck it give me the vaccine so i can live my fucking life again

[worn scarab]

i am looking forward to nightclubs opening up again

might be 30 when that happens though

[worn scarab]

pressure might push me there

we'll see

[thick ridge]

we'll have herd immunity without a vaccine by early 2022 anyways

[dapper shard]

COVID is literally smurfing in the US right now

[worn scarab]

smurfing?

[thick ridge]

but elderly ppl still gonna get wiped

[dapper shard]

gaming term. just destroying us right now basically

[still gazelle]

nightclubs are open bro

[worn scarab]

bruh

[dapper shard]

yeah go to Atlanta

[still gazelle]

i betchu live in a liberal ass area

[worn scarab]

SEA

[dapper shard]

kek

[still gazelle]

go to somewhere conservative and theres gonna be parties, clubs and bars open all with a special suprise of covid

[worn scarab]

i can hear the coffin dance music playing

[dapper shard]

not surprised

[worn scarab]

i mean yeah, we have that too back on campus - informal gatherings

[thick ridge]

lmao didn't have to delete that

[worn scarab]

no formal establishments have let the masses in for partying yet though

campus in CA

[still gazelle]

i dont wanna get banned here 😦

[thick ridge]

idk I haven't seen my friends since march

'at this point idgaf

[dapper shard]

lol the amount of people on my snapchat i saw going to new years parties when i definitely know some of them have already tested positive for covid was actually laughable

[thick ridge]

soon as i get on campus we lit

[dapper shard]

lol the amount of people on my snapchat i saw going to new years parties when i definitely know some of them have already tested positive for covid was actually laughable

[still gazelle]

naw i needa test positive for some offers

[dapper shard]

[still gazelle]

naw i needa test positive for some offers

whys andre bullying me 😢

[pliant hawk]

[worn scarab]

you will

[obtuse otter]

I tested positive the day I had one of my interviews 😈

[abstract wagon]

ur probably better off asking reddit or blind tbh

[dapper shard]

don't have an account on either of those

bruh you were at a party/large gathering like over the break lol

literally said "i can't join vc cause im with people right now"

dude thought we forgot

[lilac cloak]

yesterday someone posted sc story of them at party in miami

[worn scarab]

[lilac cloak]

many peepo

[dapper shard]

again not surprised

[twilit mesa]

bru in tx ppl go to the club like there's not a pandemic going on

[worn scarab]

shieeet

[low epoch]

andre bein

[worn scarab]

I got gmas and gpas to take care of I can't do it

[lilac cloak]

(he is yoking guys)

[low epoch]

Bruh parts of TX got hit with covid cuz spring breakers dispersed everywhere to party

[worn scarab]

but damn i miss the f club 🥲

[eager valve]

i just want a normal college experiance

that sucks

[worn scarab]

rip to the freshman

[low epoch]

It sounds better to do online early in college than later idk

[worn scarab]

true

[low epoch]

But i understand it’s subjective

[worn scarab]

turn 21 when it's over

[eager valve]

im a freshman rn

[worn scarab]

but the freshman dorm experience is also something special

[eager valve]

might never experience it

[still gazelle]

freshman dorms are lit

[thick ridge]

u don't get invited bruh

[low epoch]

Yeah ur not missin out too much. Freshman in person is just

[thick ridge]

u just show up

[low epoch]

Rejections

Normal stuff

[eager valve]

rejections from girls?

[lilac cloak]

i feel the worst part fopr frosh rn is that like

[eager valve]

tough

[lilac cloak]

frosh year ther's a lot of ways to randomly meet people

and you don't have those now

everything is too secure

[eager valve]

i met a lot of ppl over discord

[lilac cloak]

you don't 'accidentally' enter another person's zoom room

discord is the closest rn

[low epoch]

Rohanzo the dude who shows up at ur party huh

[lilac cloak]

maybe if the uni has a community mc server

[thick ridge]

LOL that really be how it is sometimes tho

[lilac cloak]

but these online communities arent an accurate representation of the overall population

[abstract wagon]

whats fun about parties

i can drink and do drugs at home

[lilac cloak]

you can, but that means you're doing it alone

[low epoch]

commuter schoolers not in dorms rise up

[lilac cloak]

[still gazelle]

there some bumpin parties and some lame parties

[thick ridge]

free at party

[worn scarab]

parties are wack clubs are better

[low epoch]

Hard disagree ily

[worn scarab]

ooh

tell me why

[abstract wagon]

whats fun about clubs ?

[low epoch]

parties u meet people easier imo

and this is college context

[worn scarab]

professional atmosphere - better looking people bc everyone dresses up/tries, people come to dance not fry their brains on the couch

[twilit mesa]

imagine turning 21 during a pandemic

[low epoch]

Get u someone who Does both

[abstract wagon]

better looking girls? im in

[worn scarab]

that's absolutely true

[low epoch]

at clubs they only let handsome dudes in tho why all foolin urselves

[worn scarab]

oh damn guess i'm handsome

hahaha i love it, roast me

[low epoch]

I gotta use u as my ticket in

[twilit mesa]

i dont miss overpaying for a bottle 🤩

[worn scarab]

don't buy ally

i don't

[still gazelle]

man if ur under 21, clubs suck. i gotta pay $5-10 every time 😦

[twilit mesa]

just drink four loko

now that they have caffeine you'll really feel it now

[still gazelle]

four loko + margarita mix is so good

yeah bro and sometimes u gotta club hop and the clubs aint bumpin so u end up spending 50 a night

[low epoch]

Cant believe there’s underage drinkers here smh

[abstract wagon]

yeah smh

[worn scarab]

@abstract wagon @low epoch it definitely depends on what you're looking for

• clubs are for dancing/letting loose/picking up
• parties are for meeting people/playing games imo

parties are very fun too

[abstract wagon]

clubs sound good

[worn scarab]

ye ye

[low epoch]

Just dont do illegal stuff guys

Could get offer rescinded

And blacklisted

[still gazelle]

who cares

[low epoch]

From FLAMINGASS

[still gazelle]

pretty sure most SWEs smoke weed

[thick ridge]

i wouldnt say most

but a lot

[twilit mesa]

i mean in cali most people do

[worn scarab]

i think the rescinding comes from doing full brain stupid sh*t

[low epoch]

Dont @ alex bruh

[worn scarab]

like getting caught on film stirring up trouble

[low epoch]

Kirb u deleted why

LOL

[abstract wagon]

im not a bully

[worn scarab]

but also don't co's do random drug tests?

[dapper shard]

bruh why is twitter's process so dog ass?

how long did we have to complete that OA?

[still gazelle]

they shouldnt care about my drug use as long as its not affecting my performance

[worn scarab]

bc they're big and they have no incentive to change

[dapper shard]

they should change for me because im special

[low epoch]

peepo dont get hung up on the bird

[dapper shard]

i will get hung up on it

im a simp

[worn scarab]

fair point, but for the most part hard drugs lead to doom

[dapper shard]

watched a lot of my former high school classmates do cocaine. they are doing well in business and finance right now

[worn scarab]

but that is a very interesting point

[low epoch]

I wonder what LC on adderall feels like

[still gazelle]

not affecing my performance

[worn scarab]

brings up the discussion ab privacy

[abstract wagon]

i think it depends

[worn scarab]

I see what you're saying. that's a good point. shouldn't matter until it does... I see it

[abstract wagon]

sometimes you take adderall and you focus on the dumbest thing for hours

[dapper shard]

[worn scarab]

sniff sniff

[dapper shard]

i just a big N offer

[worn scarab]

salt shaker I'm dead

[dapper shard]

so i can finally be happy

[abstract wagon]

how many of us have offers here

[dapper shard]

yes my only happiness comes from job offers

[abstract wagon]

nice so why we all here

[dapper shard]

because we have no life

[low epoch]

because we have offers

[dapper shard]

college is boring

nothing to do

dude actually got covid

aye you gonna go back to them parties after you done quarantining though right?

[worn scarab]

I'm here bc i'm procrastinating a research paper

[dapper shard]

oh?

he's reformed 🙏

[abstract wagon]

doubt

[dapper shard]

ah

nevermind

[worn scarab]

yeah school do be like that

[dapper shard]

not reformed

[low epoch]

Press x to doubt

[worn scarab]

sh*t dude

[dapper shard]

pain.

[worn scarab]

are you trying to graduate early?

[low epoch]

andre got a kid to feed

Needs those benjamins

[worn scarab]

me 2

[dapper shard]

@abstract wagon you gotta do a thesis or nah?

man

lucky

[worn scarab]

WHAAT!

[dapper shard]

even i have to do a thesis and im in my undergrad

[worn scarab]

oh that's an interesting system

[low epoch]

Ur school’s wack peepo

[worn scarab]

senior project?

[dapper shard]

Honors

[worn scarab]

we have those too

[low epoch]

Who needs honor

[dapper shard]

I have a separate capstone for senior

Honors pays my college in full so

kind of have to do it

[worn scarab]

that is well worth it

that's awesome

[dapper shard]

or well im taking the senior capstone course this semester so next year i only have to defend my thesis and ill be coasting

[silk ridge]

i quit honors cuz it required thesis

[dapper shard]

its not nice

[worn scarab]

eh

[dapper shard]

i liked doing nothing

go to therapy

[worn scarab]

corporations got you

not time for the workerbees to think

nice way to be i guess

[dapper shard]

i hate being productive

means i have to actually think

[low epoch]

Therapy and drugs are worth shot

I tried

Works 90% of time

[worn scarab]

i like being creative

[dapper shard]

therapy is op

[low epoch]

In my case i had to fix toxic environment

And do exercise

Just my case

[abstract wagon]

bonk

[dapper shard]

never too early. one LC a day gets you offers for days 🙂

go to therapy

[low epoch]

If all ur exes hate u then

Go to therapy

[abstract wagon]

good

no exes

[worn scarab]

mental health is severely underrated but that's changing

[dapper shard]

college doesn't let you go to the student health center?

[worn scarab]

sus of campus therapists

[low epoch]

The school counselors are masters students i think

But it should be free

I mean they still know stuff

[worn scarab]

give it a shot i guess

if it's free worst that happens is you waste an hour

[low epoch]

Licensed Professional Counselor = LCP which is most common i think

[dapper shard]

my school has actual therapist and counselors

[low epoch]

That is nice

[abstract wagon]

#random message

i think you might need therapy

[low epoch]

I mean i’m also mentioning this stuff

For ppl who read it

Lurkers

And waterloo kidds

They need help

[worn scarab]

who needs furniture

[abstract wagon]

the first step to fixing your issues is recognizing you have them

[worn scarab]

congrats

[dapper shard]

shameless

[worn scarab]

at my school students will collectively dump 9x dump trucks' worth of loads of new furniture at the end of each year

[abstract wagon]

what a waste

[worn scarab]

oh, i thought it was your FAC

[abstract wagon]

any more big companies that might hire?

or you think we're close to done

[worn scarab]

microsoft *has waves that go to spring

hmm...

that's fair good advice

[abstract wagon]

what will i do without interviews

[worn scarab]

schoolwork

[pliant hawk]

put the most optimal solution for 2sum on the moon

[vivid lintel]

Bruh if it's going to the moon it better be some graph dp shit

[merry rain]

How long does it take to get an update on Amazon after finishing OA3?

Been 11 days for me w no update so far

[thick ridge]

karat is so aids

[dapper shard]

this is factual

[ionic rune]

Aight thanks

[spare patio]

does getting HR round usually mean offer?

after doing a few technical rounds

[soft hound]

depends on the company i think

[mossy swan]

Who’s ready for school and job hunting again

[spare patio]

are there companies more strict abiut it

[dim sentinel]

Already doing both lol

[dapper shard]

already doing both right now

[mossy swan]

Mine schol start mondays

[tacit halo]

Yeah quite a few. Many f500s but if those aren’t ideal, there’s also a few big n’s (PayPal, Oracle, unicorns, just some off the top of my head)

Just check the Pitt repo

Literally hundreds of things

[worn scarab]

what is the pitt repo everyone talks about?

[spare patio]

is oracle even good lol

[woeful heart]

good pay

[tacit halo]

@worn scarab https://github.com/pittcsc/Summer2021-Internships

Pay is great

[worn scarab]

thanks for the info!

[ashen needle]

Any advice for landing something this late

Shit feeling a little hopeless

I just been trying to learn more and become a better candidate bc I’ve had such shit success so far

[lilac cloak]

o hi jack

i got mine last spring

fidelity recruits at my uni

the nh office likes to pull from umass

you can try giving them a shot in the spring, even if fall apps didnt work out

[ashen needle]

I already applied. Said they’d start looking over the hirevues this winter

Idk if my app was for nh tho?

[lilac cloak]

the spring and fall app seems to be different

[ashen needle]

Hm

[lilac cloak]

no hirevues when i applied int he spring

[ashen needle]

Interesting

[lilac cloak]

but in the fall, first thing was a hirevue

[ashen needle]

You got a recruiter contact by chance?

All g if not

[tacit halo]

It’s not that late

Plenty of big companies are still hiring

However they won’t be hiring in 2 months

[ashen needle]

I feel like I applied everywhere

I’ll just keep applying ig

[tacit halo]

Email recruiters

[ashen needle]

Yea true

[tacit halo]

Will dm some advice

[ashen needle]

Ok thank you

[tacit halo]

Just dm me to remind me

[ashen needle]

Ok I will in a little bit if that’s cool?

[lilac cloak]

i have one from last year; can dm name

[tacit halo]

Sure

[dapper shard]

you need recruiter contacts to some companies? i got a list

[lilac cloak]

@dapper shard can u sauce as well?

[cyan valley]

@tacit halo

[lilac cloak]

am looking for fall roles, and recruiter contacts would be useful

[cyan valley]

I asked u like 3 times

did u check ur dm

t e m p l a t e

[tacit halo]

Sorry. I have lots of dms and kind of got caught up but I’ll do it right now

[cyan valley]

ok bet

[tacit halo]

Done

It’s sent

[ashen needle]

I would highly appreciate that

[fleet cairn]

@tacit halo yo sorry i dm'd u

could u pree it when you have a sec

thanks

[tacit halo]

Just wondering which companies?

I have a list too

Wondering if it’s the same list

I found it on the internet somewhere

[dapper shard]

nah. mine is like 35 companies. just from recruiters ive talked to

[tacit halo]

Oh.

[ashen needle]

This summer I plan on compiling a list for next year of people I’ve had contact with

[tacit halo]

You still have opportunities for this summer

[ashen needle]

Yea ik

[tacit halo]

Have you emailed any recruiters?

[ashen needle]

But like there are places I’ve been rejected from that having contacts will be nice next year

Not recently rlly

I have a few companies I’m in contact with the recruiter currently

[tacit halo]

In that you got an interview?

I hear back from probably less than 5% of places I cold email

When emailing recruiters that rate triples

[ashen needle]

No more like. They are doing interviews at my uni/are starting hiring next month and I’m just tryna keep my name in the mix

Like one place I asked if there’s any stuff I can work on/learn before they start up their hiring

[tacit halo]

r u in the us or canada?

[ashen needle]

US

[nova inlet]

👀

[formal finch]

hey guys should I take a summer class with a internship? By taking a summer class in the summer, I will have less time on doing lc prep, which I need to do interviews. Or should I not consider taking no summer classes and only focus on lc after my internships is done for the day?

[abstract wagon]

focus on lc

[nova inlet]

@abstract wagon I looked at some people's solutions for the first question of the contest yesterday and it was so wack - what kind of ninja skills yall got

[abstract wagon]

? i's literally like hard coding

idk what was hard about it

[nova inlet]

no not hard

I did it it's fine - I just looked at how others did it if there was an elegant way to go about it

and I saw some do some wonky stuff with moving bytes and stuff

[abstract wagon]

u dont have to do that problem with moving bytes

excessive if you ask me

[nova inlet]

right yeah - was just wondering what those people have in their heads to come up with stuff like that

I looked at the last question and it looked like more of a math problem to me than leetcode, you managed to do it?

[abstract wagon]

yeah

[cyan valley]

🤣

hpe swag kit kinda fire

[nova inlet]

that mouse 👀

@abstract wagon Damn, the last question is the type of question I'd take a couple of days to figure out the math for. Did you do it in a math way or in a programmy way?

[abstract wagon]

math

[nova inlet]

God damn

respect

[abstract wagon]

i think if you can't formulate how it builds then it's kind of over LOL

[lilac cloak]

HyPE

[cyan valley]

🤣

[barren night]

Do lc contests usually have bit manipulation stuff? The 2 yesterday did but I just started and haven’t bothered to learn it

[abstract wagon]

i wouldn't say usually but it can pop up

you mean q3 right?

with the XOR's?

[barren night]

Yeah

and for the biweekley one there was an xor one too

[abstract wagon]

oh I didn't do biweekly

it's good to know anyways

i think for q3 you just had to know that XOR is commutative and x XOR x cancels itself out

then it becomes a simple DP problem

[barren night]

Oh ok. tbh i didn’t really look at it, just saw it was xor and quit bc i was tired lol

thanks

[abstract wagon]

yeah they're good exercises

[nova inlet]

can you use XOR to check for divisibility somehow?

I don't know where it'd be used hmm

[abstract wagon]

not that I know of

[abstract wagon]

a neat but sort of dumb trick is you can swap two vars with it without an additional temporary variable xd

trying to think of more but none are coming to me

i typically use it in segment tree implementation too

[lilac cloak]

i can pronounce those words yes

[nova inlet]

I don't know what a segment tree is

Oh isn't this the cartesian array thing - I forgot the name

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_tree

[abstract wagon]

not really.

in short- it's a useful data structure for when you're doing a lot of queries

[nova inlet]

So you'd make that first - take some memory, but you'll save time in the long run

Turns out theres a cp-algorithms website which has a massive page on the subject

[abstract wagon]

yeah, very useful in cp, sorry I don't want to explain what they are/what sort of problems you might use them in- kind of in the middle of something

[nova inlet]

Oh no I wasn't expecting you to - it's all good

[quiet musk]

Here's a problem that segment trees are good for:
You are given a big array. You will now be given a lot of queries one at a time. The first type of query will update the value of some element in the array. The second query will ask for the biggest element in some sub-array. (e.g. biggest element between elements 1 and 7).
