lol

some are screwed, whereas some are getting easy

[abstract wagon]

gl

[craggy shuttle]

thanks!

[abstract wagon]

i hate lc interviews but i also hate non-lc ones b/c they can legit ask anything

i asked recruiter twice what the role was and what the interview would be like and they gave no info

Unfortunately, the hiring manager has asked me not to share any other information regarding the interview as he wants to see how you think/respond in the moment.

I want to reassure you that the hiring manager feels your background and previous experience could be a good fit for this opportunity so don’t worry too much about over preparing

think/respond in the moment

[craggy shuttle]

[abstract wagon]

don't worry just none of the qualifications you have

no pressure

[silk ridge]

just learn computer vision on the spot

[abstract wagon]

and Swift

i still dont know wtf the job is

are apple job requirements strict or to do they just take who can do the job?

[torn dagger]

facts

my current offer only asked me one technical question, and the answer i gave was to use numpy

and he loved it

now i got my first technical on tuesday

[abstract wagon]

my interpretation of that email is study topics listed on your resume not the actual job listing?

[silent tree]

Rip I got 14/14 for question 1 and 0 on second question for OA2

[weak oracle]

@silent tree Same and I got the offer in the end so you aren't dead yet 👀

Technically I got Second question and not first but same 0 on one question

[livid anchor]

Hey y'all I'm relocating to Northern VA for a 6 month internship this summer from Ohio... anyone have any general suggestions for trying to make living arrangements now? It seems like every place I look isn't even accepting applications for when I move in in June....

[silent tree]

@weak oracle okay damn

I think question 2 is hard

[strange elbow]

have you tried looking on Airbnb

[livid anchor]

@strange elbow Pretty much everything on Airbnb is like wayyyy expensive b/c furnished 😦

[strange elbow]

yeah some hosts can negotiate prices if you email them especially if it’s long term stay

[livid anchor]

@strange elbow oh really? I didn't know they were negotiable... good to know!

[weak oracle]

I don’t think there’s any correlation between the problem number and difficulty, my second problem was basically two-sum

[strange elbow]

FB groups are really helpful too but beware of the scammers lol

[abstract wagon]

yo i think i figured out what the role is

some secret apple eyewear

https://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2020/06/apples-secretive-technology-development-group-is-working-on-both-ar-glasses-and-an-advanced-hmd-with-a-stunning-display.html

thats why it says computer vision under job requirements

idk what RT is

some new apple product?

actually idk how its related to security
the job isnt listed on apple's website?

plz i really want this job

[frosty ginkgo]

[ionic bronze]

[muted leaf]

Should I ask if I can move the internship to fall after getting the offer or beforehand?

do i need to explain why i cant accept the summer one?? or can i just ask bluntly 🤔

[runic tinsel]

wassup with Flexport resume rejecting me for everything lol 😦

SWE intern, ML Intern, PM Intern all resume rejected xD

Does this mean my resume is not ATS parsable?

[shrewd karma]

maybe they just dont want u

[frosty ginkgo]

did u get salesforce tho

ive seen u in chat talking abt it for a while

[silent tree]

Got rejected after Amazon oa2. 7/7 on oa1, 14/14 q1 oa2 and 0 q2 oa2

[runic tinsel]

don't know the outcome as yet, let's hope and pray

[thorn leaf]

wtf thats so weird

i got to oa3 with 3/7 oa1, 14/14 q1 oa2 and like 3/14 q3 oa2

[silent tree]

@thorn leaf u think so?

[thick ridge]

I think at the OA stage your resume matters

[silent tree]

Maybe I had to do better on q2

Yea I’m just a soph w/ no SWE internships

[thick ridge]

yeah so the second question probs sold

[thorn leaf]

ive heard the rough rule of thumb be that oa1 get above like 2, and oa2 get atleast one entire question right

to get to oa3

[thick ridge]

I have similar resume as you and moved onto final w/ 14/14 and 14/14

[earnest kestrel]

Hey guys quick question, Im an MIS major looking into applying for SWE internships. Does it look bad if I apply to multiple positions at the same company. If I apply to Google for SWE, PM, Marketing, Data Scientist, or Business analyst intern. And or applying to two seperate frontend and back end roles at the same company does it look bad and or move my resume to the trash?

The google one was an example

[craggy shuttle]

finally this person made it to netlix

[spare patio]

just curious, why do you think yext is much better?

[flat vine]

who tf is wealthsimple

[jagged mason]

wealthsimple is pretty much the robinhood of Canada

[pallid spade]

Wtf the recruiter told me they filled headcount and cancelled my interview, how are u still in the pipeline

maybe ur recruiter hasnt gotten the news yet

she emailed me on Friday

ya thats why

[marsh burrow]

Does coinbase do fall?

[ember stream]

Does Apple move to fall?

[formal finch]

Apple can do fall

[charred roost]

Has anyone else gotten an email from a Facebook recruiter about scheduling an interview for tuesday?

I got one yesterday and I'm unprepared as fuck

[marsh burrow]

When did you apply?

[crimson brook]

not specifically to schedule an interview on tuesday, but my interview is on tuesday LOL

[muted leaf]

do you know if IT SWE will be doing same thing as regular SWE?

[charred roost]

Oh damn

Yeah my email just said they'd interview me this week and squeeze me into their schedule

[charred roost]

I didn't apply lol, their recruiter just reached out to me

[thorn leaf]

wow thats actually pog

[charred roost]

Yee

[muted leaf]

ah alrighty. thanks!

[abstract wagon]

does apple give return for soph interns to junior interns or conversion to ft?

[runic tinsel]

I've done a certificate program and wanted to add it to my workday application but I'm not sure about where to add it. Should it be in education or work experience, or neither?

[muted leaf]

they usually have certificate section if they want to see it, but it prob fits work experience more imo

[runic tinsel]

yeah I didn't want to put it in education

[charred roost]

Yeah I'd say it fits a little better into work experience

[runic tinsel]

What do I put for "Job title" though

And "company" would be the school that offered the program?

[lone orbit]

Wait facebook reaching out? I literally got resume rejected in a day lmao

[charred roost]

Rip

Yeah their recruiter for my school reached out via email

Caught me off guard so I'm grinding out leetcode to prepare

I also got a few midterms this week so I'm struggling to find a balance between leetcode and studying

[lone orbit]

Damn you have prior faang or sum?

[charred roost]

Nope

This is my first interview too lol

Just pure luck

[soft hound]

bruh are u freshman

[lone orbit]

Big opportunity fuck midterms lmao

[charred roost]

Sophomore

[soft hound]

gg

[charred roost]

I just graduate a semester early

[soft hound]

getting ghosted by fb

[charred roost]

That's the only notable thing in my resume lol

[charred roost]

I actually got ghosted for a different internship position I applied for at fb lol

[soft hound]

gg

[silk ridge]

gg

[charred roost]

I applied for a front end dev internship

And they reached out for regular swe

[soft hound]

bruh thats

[charred roost]

it really is lol

I just hope I clutch this

[soft hound]

[lone orbit]

If they have time to reach out why not just send rejections to people you ghosting

[charred roost]

[lone orbit]

[charred roost]

Fr, the ghosting in general is pretty crazy

I've lost count of how many companies have ghosted me

[lone orbit]

I have a list, will not apply to those companies next time.

I will ghost em back

[silk ridge]

get offer then ghost recruiter

[winter citrus]

Anyone know if fb is adjusting intern salaries by location?

[abstract wagon]

augh i hate not knowing what any info about the interview
recruiter wont tell me jack shit and im so nervous

[abstract wagon]

chad

[charred roost]

damn that sucks

but at least you got the interview!

good luck!

[abstract wagon]

the job posting says:

Understanding of encryption algorithms.

would knowing SSL/TLS be included in this?

[abstract wagon]

thanks ill need it

[charred roost]

I'd say so yeah

[charred roost]

[abstract wagon]

any good resource on it? i get the general idea but am confused with all the different versions and whether RSA or diffie-hellman is used

[charred roost]

Sorry, I don't have any. I don't know much about encryption in general

[abstract wagon]

idk if i could

yeah common ones ive implemented before

i have no idea how this interview will go

i looked up the recruiter and hes a god at C/C++ embedded
the role is for security software but the qualifications arent really related

Key Qualifications:
• Familiarity with any major programming languages like Java, Python, JavaScript, Go.
• Knowledge of at least one of the following areas: Computer Security, Operating Systems, Computer Networks, Distributed Systems(I haven't taken a course in any of these)
Nice to Have:
• Familiarity with Swift / Objective-C.
• Understanding of encryption algorithms.
• Knowledge of Computer Vision / Machine Learning a plus.(?????WTF)

recruiter said "I can't give any info about the role or interview"

but im 90% sure it wont be lc b/c she said "small coding section" which in the past has been easier than lc easy

i legit have no idea what will be asked

[abstract wagon]

After the first interview, the interviewer said, good luck with the other interviews, I hope you will succeed. Am I moving to final stage? I have solved both the solution in a good way plus talked about follow up

[runic tinsel]

if this is apple, then yeah they don't tell you shit about the interview

[runic tinsel]

and if this is apple then you should be well versed with all or most of the technologies given in the job description, and practice describing your experience with the technologies

[dull talon]

you know any good resources for DS&A for beginners ? im a freshman

[bitter onyx]

if I have a summer 2021 internship and I wanna apply to fall 2021 internships, should I put on my resume my upcoming summer internship?

[weak oracle]

If you're a complete beginner, I recommend algoexpert (though you will have to invest like $80)

(but you'll make that difference back in a day if you land a Big N position)

[weak fjord]

So what's the strategy to get an internship now?

Don't have anything yet as a junior

[weak oracle]

F

Probs hard at this point

[patent sluice]

spam apply

especially smaller companies/f500

[pliant cradle]

Does Intuit sponsor Canadians for summer?

[low epoch]

Yeah that sounds like they decided to move u forward

[abstract wagon]

Mr emote you are playing with my heart

[little fiber]

fwiw

that has happened to me

and i got rejected

after that round

so

dont get your hopes up too much

[abstract wagon]

[formal finch]

bruh how do I prep for QA at apple besides LC

idk how i keep getting match with QA at apple with zero exp in it

[small fossil]

https://www.levels.fyi/salary/Okta/

[formal finch]

yeah i never done any testing

[silk ridge]

@glossy vapor heres some info if you didnt get it

i cancelled phone tho so no idea what they ask

no idea

if ur OA is 1 question its not really a LC question

[formal finch]

bruh they dont tell u shit

i didnt even get job description

[obtuse otter]

im genuinely curious wtf is the point of asking us? just wait until your recruiter tells u 😭

[abstract wagon]

man I am not fully rational

[obtuse otter]

i really think there's no point in speculation bc nobody really knows. plenty of people have been rejected after a good signal, plenty of people have moved forward after bad signal. its out of ur hands atp

[abstract wagon]

I know it's super stupid

[obtuse otter]

ik man i was like that too lmfao

[abstract wagon]

just to give relax to my brain lol

[obtuse otter]

but u just gotta stop stressing abt these things at a certain point, it'll make like so much better 🙏🏿

never feed into your neuroticism it makes it so much worse

[abstract wagon]

in reality I was just preparing to the funny situation when I get rejection after positive feedback from the interviewer

[obtuse otter]

this mf LOL

[abstract wagon]

"Good luck" and then I get fucked lmao

I will always remember his face lol

[abstract wagon]

im not? well versed in the classes named on the job description.
i didnt apply to position recruiter just matched me with it because "my resume matched" and the position is not on the site

so im fucked?

[waxen kelp]

intuit still hiring last time I saw

[abstract wagon]

on friday i was only given 1st name of interviewer who i looked up on linkedin
he had embedded background so i prepared for that to be in the interview
today i got his full name turns out hes a security engineer (prepated for wrong shit lmao in screwed)
1 day to prep

i dont know what the job is

thry said couldnt disclose

idk security software?
security is a very big area of unreelayed topics

could just be swe implementing crypto
different companies call it different things

[craggy shuttle]

any tips for coinbase final, i have mine in coming 1 hour.

really worried

?

[charred roost]

damn hella nice

[ornate cairn]

any advice for bloomberg data superday??

[abstract wagon]

pog

[thorny gorge]

Your resume must be stacked af

[silk ridge]

its pretty easy doesnt take 4 hrs

[pliant cradle]

Does anyone know how long Intuit takes to get back after the final values interview?

[umbral breach]

30 responses? holy

[thorny gorge]

thats what im sayin

[feral dock]

does amazon push summer internships to the fall? context: i got an update on my amazon application but am no longer available for the summer - should I go through the process and if it works out request for it to be pushed to the fall (if not i'll have to reject) or indicate my unavailability now?

[thorny gorge]

top 2 school

target/top schools are so op

[slim creek]

top 2 as in mit cmu

[obtuse otter]

4.0 at hypsm with a previous internship and he's saying he's not stacked

lol

[charred roost]

lmao

[formal finch]

plz rng gods

gimme me nice interviewer for Apple

[thorny gorge]

lol

[charred roost]

[thorny gorge]

my man is being super humble

[charred roost]

I'm just hoping my Facebook lead actually takes me somewhere

A recruiter reached out on Friday but haven't responded to my emails since : (

[thorny gorge]

ms?

[formal finch]

bruh Tesla literally scheduled my interview for tomorrow

[charred roost]

Master's degree

Master in Science

[charred roost]

damn hella nice

Facebook is supposed to schedule me for tomorrow

[formal finch]

lmao I have no time to study lol

[charred roost]

To squeeze me into their schedule

But I haven't gotten any confirmation or anything

So idk if I wanna spend time prepping for something I don't have lol

[thorny gorge]

but i dont think i wanna do MS

zzzz

[formal finch]

Apple just scheduled my interview for Thursday

[charred roost]

I also got a few midterms later in the week

[formal finch]

I have time to prep

[charred roost]

Not trynna fail those

[charred roost]

Oh that's nice

[formal finch]

[formal finch]

[charred roost]

Lmao

[formal finch]

[charred roost]

damn i spoke too soon

Also it seems like the specific position I'm interviewing for is specifically made for my uni, UIUC

Literally says "Software Engineer Intern, UIUC - Summer 2021"

in the emails

[terse torrent]

Uiuc

[charred roost]

It is pretty pog

[weak fjord]

Where all did you apply?

[hearty rose]

Hey anyone interview for the PE Intern position at FB?

[worthy terrace]

Has anyone done the technical interview for lyft? How did it go?

[thick ridge]

what company?

[charred roost]

Facebook

[terse torrent]

Anyone know what a "sync-up with a recruiter is?" Just took an oa and haven't reached "interview stage" yet

[fervent remnant]

I don't think they do

[charred roost]

Sounds like an informal meeting lol

[terse torrent]

Ok xd

[abstract wagon]

Lmao happened to me so many times,
for some effing reason, I usually pass when I don't suspect it and get rejected when I feel good about the interview

[abstract wagon]

[warped wind]

at what round/point in Kickstart or Code Jam is it worth listing on your resume as an achievement

[terse torrent]

is it ok to ask a recruiter if it would be possible for me to move forward in the process for team b if they reached out abt team a? i am not rly interested in team a but got an interview request for it

[strong dove]

I have it tomorrow as well. :'(

[charred roost]

Yeah they finally scheduled mine

Got it tmrw at 10am lmao

[strong dove]

I have it at 11

Bruh lmao

[charred roost]

Wait mine is at 10am pst tho lol

[strong dove]

Same

[charred roost]

O

Damn you're right after me then

[strong dove]

Low-key thinking of cancelling already

[charred roost]

I'm gonna be setting the bar real low so dw

[strong dove]

Hahaha

[charred roost]

Lmao

[strong dove]

How was your code signal?

[charred roost]

I'm about to do it rn

[strong dove]

Imma do it late evening as well hehe

[charred roost]

Spent all day doing leetcode

[thick ridge]

@charred roost for summer? i reached out to school recruiter abt fall and she said she can't start the process

[charred roost]

Yeah my interview is for the Summer

[strong dove]

Not for Fall. They're full.

[thick ridge]

ah ok just makin sure

[charred roost]

The recruiter said in the email that they're full for fall and are looking for summer

[strong dove]

How was that for you?

[charred roost]

Alright

I was focusing on the leetcode medium/hard problems

and it was a mixed bag lol

[strong dove]

Noicee

[charred roost]

I could do some but others I just couldn't figure them out

[strong dove]

After a month of verilog, MIPS and Python, I had difficulty remembering how to declare an array.

[charred roost]

Dude same

CS 233 got me all fucked up

Got no brain cell anymore

[strong dove]

233 and 357 got me there

I can't code

[charred roost]

Rip

[strong dove]

Lmao

I may cancel after Code Signal

[charred roost]

The CodeSignal doesn't affect your chances that much apparently

They focus more on how you do in the technical interview

[strong dove]

One day notice and the ethics of FB make me question my desperation.

[charred roost]

Lmao

I honestly couldn't care less at this p oint

I just want something

[strong dove]

Do you have any other offers lol?

[charred roost]

Nope

I have another interview with a company called Lob later this week

And they happened to schedule it right before my STAT 400 midterm too

So that's great

[strong dove]

Ouch

I have done 4 final rounds and I have another one coming up next week.

[charred roost]

damn

[strong dove]

And ZERO OFFERS. 🐸

[charred roost]

Rip

[ember stream]

I have 3 interviews on wed lol

and one on tues

[charred roost]

Damn

Good luck

[strong dove]

Wowoow which?

[charred roost]

Hope you can start farming some Ws lol

[strong dove]

Ls all day everyday.

[charred roost]

[ember stream]

On tues I have schwab. On wed I have Alaska Airlines, Ansys and Viasat

and next mon I have apple

[strong dove]

Bruh wow

Best of luck

[craggy shuttle]

@ember stream pog

[formal finch]

which team?

[ember stream]

Infosec

[charred roost]

Damn that's cool

Good luck!

[formal finch]

Good luck !

[thick ridge]

I feel like I've seen way more apple interviews this year than last fall

wack

[strong dove]

Interviews. Yes.

[thick ridge]

ig it makes sense cuz they're team based but just surprised

[formal finch]

Apple recruits late from what I heard

they give offers up to may lol

[abstract wagon]

Hehe

[charred roost]

Just finished that Facebook CodeSignal

Did alright, got 1007/1200

3 questions were pretty simple

The last one though

oof

[uncut herald]

Does anyone know if cloudera does fall?

[neat shadow]

darn fb fall is already full??

[charred roost]

yep

they're still looking for summer peeps though

[neat shadow]

ik i got an interview invite for summer

i was just about to ask for fall cuz i already accept a summer internship

[charred roost]

oh rip

the email you got should've said that lol

[neat shadow]

it just said summer opportunity

[charred roost]

oh rip

yeah mine said that fall was already full and that they were just looking for summer

[neat shadow]

i have been getting 2 interview invites from places that i really want to work at after accepting a low-paying research internship 🥲

[charred roost]

I mean you could renege that research internship

But damn

[weak oracle]

Ridiculous how fall fills before summer

[neat shadow]

i know right

[charred roost]

Yeah lol

[weak oracle]

I’m literally gonna start applying for next year in June I guess

[charred roost]

I honestly thought Facebook already filled their summer positions

When I applied for a Fall position

[neat shadow]

nah cuz i am gonna apply for their phD and it would make me look very bad

[charred roost]

Ah

[ancient flower]

does anyone know how the !problem <company> intern commmand works?

[charred roost]

I was under the assumption that it randomly selects one of the problems for that company

and gives it to you

[ancient flower]

oh

well

thats an assumption

and same

[charred roost]

It is

[slim creek]

it give most frequent

[slim creek]

dont interpret

will save brain cells

[charred roost]

yeah that's what it kinda sounds like to me too

[abstract wagon]

im assuming no one here is applying for this cuz they're not in hs. if they are and end up copying whatever suggestions are made here then i mean that'll knock both of us out the pool but anyway, anyone have any suggestions to these prompts ? i have a couple, but thought it'd be worth getting some suggestions from yall. more so for the first one. in the case of the first prompt, i guess i am essentially asking why everyone here chose cs, which would hopefully spark inspiration and help me trully identify why i really chose cs, besides the whole passion problem solving "cliche". idk man kinda tuff to talk about myself but yeah ping me if you respond to this tanks yall <<333

[fervent remnant]

What is that

[abstract wagon]

amazon future engineer scholarship

for hs seniors only

[ember stream]

When do you update your linkedin after getting an offer?

[thick ridge]

when i signed the letter lmfao

incoming type beat

[ember stream]

on your experience too or just your headline?

[weak oracle]

When you sign the letter and have no outstanding applications that you’d consider reneging for

[thick ridge]

both lmao

I put it in experience as incoming cause it helps with searchability

but honestly linkedin is a meme platform so do whatever

if you're legit you'll get reached out to either way

[upbeat fossil]

I am not a huge fan of writing "incoming" anything, other than on resume. There's no harm in doing so either though

[slim creek]

advanced flow engineering?

[runic tinsel]

Watch Dan Croitors youtube channel for the LPs

[abstract wagon]

i shall thank you thank you

do you think it'd be a good idea to use linkedin and connect with people who may have won the scholarship and attended a college i was accepted to ? maybe ask them what they wrote ???

[frail star]

Are we supposed to be flown out to the places where these internships say they are in the postings?

Or is it possible that we just work from home?

[charred roost]

Some internships will be remote

Others might give you the choice for in person this year

And reimburse you for your travel and housing costs

[abstract wagon]

they would explicitly state whether or not they would fly you out right ? some would just say the location without any info for flying out, so in that case, would you just assume the internship is only for that location ?

[charred roost]

If they don't mention flying you out then yea the internship is probably for that location and you will have to fly yourself out

[abstract wagon]

i see i see thank you

[charred roost]

Yeah np

[frail star]

That makes sense. Thanks @charred roost

appreciate the insight.

[charred roost]

yeah np

[simple saffron]

itll help

[abstract wagon]

thanks poggo

[simple saffron]

what up

[frail star]

Is it okay to apply if you only have some of the qualifications?

[vast void]

does disney move to fall

[warped wind]

absolutely

[mighty sun]

I wonder is Apple's or any other company's summer internship would be in person rather than remote. 🤔

[frail star]

Gotcha. Thanks a lot dude

[pine bay]

It’s remote

[mighty sun]

I figured as much

it'd be cool if they somehow are able to make it in person

[formal finch]

guys I’m just praying Apple have mercy on me

I did all of the lc questions from the lc bot

time to pray 🙏🙏

that I don’t get fucked again

[wraith grove]

Is there anyone here who is taking internship in UK?

[craggy shuttle]

so amazon is having waitlisting now ?

[abstract wagon]

Impossible, Amazon's plan was to take 1B interns

Maybe that was Bezos'idea but they piped him

[vale sparrow]

Google tpm (tensorflow engineering) vs Microsoft swe (business app group) for summer intern?

Any thoughts?

Let me know if there’s another channel to put this in

*a better channel

[wary flame]

It appears so for the US too now

[craggy shuttle]

and they dont move to fall as well ? @wary flame

[wary flame]

Yea pretty sure you have to apply to fall separately

[craggy shuttle]

[weak oracle]

F

[vale sparrow]

@still gazelle idk about tpm full time tho

but yea makes sense thanks

[still gazelle]

oh wait

TPM is project manager?

[vale sparrow]

yea technical program manager

[still gazelle]

oh nevermind then.

do u wanna be an engineer or a project manager more

id just base my decision off that

[vale sparrow]

lmao that’s what I don’t know

[still gazelle]

i dont think we can decide for you.

[vale sparrow]

I’d rather stick to engineering tbh

[still gazelle]

just read up on the differences

[vale sparrow]

Yea nah I’d rather be a software dev so ig MSFT is the move then

[still gazelle]

yeah and even though google is a bit better than MSFT

ull have no problems getting interviews with MSFT on ur resume

[vale sparrow]

@still gazelle thanks dude appreciate it

[abstract wagon]

I think the role is more important than the company so I will go with MSFT (especially considering they are both top companies)

“As an intern with the Software QA Engineering team, you will help to ensure great quality of Tesla’s UI and/or Autopilot software for current and next generation vehicle programs. You will work within the Infotainment and Autopilot SQA teams to manually test new and legacy UI features, help automate testing, implement new tests, and create innovative automated test systems.”```

what does this looks like

is it more of front end ?

Ui ?

[abstract wagon]

It's mainly testing I think

Testing related to the UI/frontend

[craggy shuttle]

what if i am not interested inthis role ? can i ask for the other role

?

or will it cause a reject

[abstract wagon]

Mhhh I would still at least do one interview

[craggy shuttle]

or just do the interview ?

okay okay

[abstract wagon]

I think you have more leverage after passing the interview

[craggy shuttle]

true

[abstract wagon]

Say you want to personally talk with baby musk about your future

[craggy shuttle]

lol

[warped wind]

a waitlist? literally college apps 2: electric boogaloo

[ionic bronze]

imagine applying to a college with a waitlist

#notacompetitivecandidateforgoodcolleges

[spare patio]

shopify has california office?

[stone tiger]

I think its just remote

[strong dove]

Let's get rejected by Facebook ppl.

[abstract wagon]

i did not think shopify paid that much owo

[stone tiger]

only if you live in a high col area :/

[craggy shuttle]

is there a chance to get amazon offer if i have it tomm ?

[weak oracle]

Jesus that’s Amazon money

[craggy shuttle]

final

[soft hound]

bruh thats sounds cap

no way shopify is paying 54 usd

[weak oracle]

Maybe if you knock it out of park you can sidestep waitlist

[charred roost]

Let's fucking gooo

That interview went about as well as I thought it would

It was all leetcode questions too

[abstract wagon]

the company i was using for practice interview rescheduled to next week

[charred roost]

rip

I used Facebook to practice for another interview I have later on in the week

[torn dagger]

just did my first technical

interviewer gave good feedback

[charred roost]

ayy nice

[torn dagger]

it was LC easies

[charred roost]

Yeah I failed the fuck out of my Facebook technical lmfao

[charred roost]

Ayy nice

[torn dagger]

honestly atleast u showed up

before i would pussy out and cancel

[charred roost]

Ye I was just in it for the experience

[torn dagger]

so big fuckin props to u dude

[charred roost]

Hadn't had an interview before so I wanted to see what it was like

[charred roost]

Yee thanks my dude

I hope you move on to the next round for your company!

[torn dagger]

thanks brotha hope u land an offer

[charred roost]

thanks g

[abstract wagon]

Is LinkedIn down

[charred roost]

Yeah looks like it

[abstract wagon]

Hot dam

[crimson brook]

Dang I got mine in a couple hours got any advice?

[charred roost]

Its just a regular technical interview

They'll ask you 2 questions, both straight from the leetcode list

Just remain calm and try to explain your thought process as much as possible

[crimson brook]

Ah fck I knew I should've done the LC tagged

[charred roost]

And try to ask your interviewer relevant questions to the problem like the limits of parameters and what not

[crimson brook]

No questions about projects/behaviorals?

[charred roost]

Nope

Its just 5 minutes intro

30 minutes coding

[crimson brook]

Ohh facts this is good advice I always forget this

[charred roost]

5 minutes conclusion

[charred roost]

Yee

[crimson brook]

Ah so just "tell me abt yourself" and "got any questions"

Lit

[charred roost]

Exactly those questions lol

[crimson brook]

Praying to the LC gods 🕯️

Ty man

[charred roost]

Hope your interview goes well!

[charred roost]

No problem dude, glad I could help

[drowsy goblet]

lol yo

should i start leetcoding

still a sophomore

[crimson brook]

Yessirr ty good luck in your interviews later this week my dude

[charred roost]

yes

[drowsy goblet]

i have two internships lined up

[charred roost]

Thanks!

[charred roost]

Oh damn

[drowsy goblet]

but i'm trynna get big n

for next year

[charred roost]

Yeah I'd recommend leetcoding

[drowsy goblet]

alright

bro

[charred roost]

A lot of companies use questions similar to what LeetCode has

[drowsy goblet]

i go to a no-name school though

[charred roost]

And some take directly from leetcode

[drowsy goblet]

do i even have a chance.... i'll definitely start leetcoding

[charred roost]

I think as long as you have a great resume, you should have a chance

Some companies do recruit straight from top schools though

And have recruiters for those schools

[drowsy goblet]

alright.... it's gonna be two pages

[charred roost]

But most recruiter regardless of school

CS is CS after all

[drowsy goblet]

yeah thats the good thing

so by my junior year

[charred roost]

Your resume is 2 pages?

[drowsy goblet]

i will have completed 4 internships, and 2 research positions directly related to cs

it will be when i apply

to big n

i am working on tons of stuff rn

that i didnt include

do you think this is a bit of an overkill though?

[charred roost]

Ah ok

[charred roost]

Tbh I don't really know

But if you have a lot of stuff to talk about, I'd probably put it on a personal website or something

and just include like the 3-4 most impressive things you're working on, on your resume

[drowsy goblet]

ye for sure bro

[silk ridge]

im pretty sure the guy who has 10 internships has a 1 page resume

[charred roost]

but again ask around lol

i am not the smartest person out there

[silk ridge]

just concise info i guess

[drowsy goblet]

the thing is.... i wanna include all my good experience.... and a conservative estimate leads my resume at like 1.5 pages

so..... i dont even know anymore lmao

[silk ridge]

size 4 font

[drowsy goblet]

looool

i'm doing mine in like size 7 or 8 in microsoft word

[ember stream]

dont go over a page

[charred roost]

We should probably move over to #resume but yeah I recommend keeping it at a page long

Since recruiters only look at these things for a few seconds max

[drowsy goblet]

alright bro

see.... thats the thing

lmao

i wanna grab the recruiters attention

so they read on

[charred roost]

i see

idk ask the peeps in #resume

they usually have some good discussion on what to do

[faint musk]

Definitely stick to 1 page

[weak oracle]

don't go over 1 page

[mild kelp]

write 1 page for each internship

[weak oracle]

bruh

1 page per 10 years experience

[mild kelp]

(NOTE: i was not kidding, please take me seriously).

[final hawk]

2 page resume is alright if it's cause you have a lot of relevant work experiences (talking about jobs, not like clubs and stuff)

[remote geyser]

does this include personal projects as well ?

[final hawk]

ah idk i don't include personal projects on my resume

but mine is 2 pages at the moment and i've had peers telling me that it HAS to be 1 page

[charred roost]

I have a very small section for personal projects

[final hawk]

but i honestly can't do that and i've talked to my recruiters about it and they said they don't mind the 2 pages

[charred roost]

I just change them out for most jobs I apply to

[unique meadow]

Does anyone know if it's even worth negotiating salary for Apple's internship?

[final hawk]

i don't think you can

[formal finch]

if u trying to do tesla, prep hard on js questions lol

[karmic fog]

word spacing is funky it leaves a lot of whitespace

[cyan valley]

my first resume was 2 pages

2 inch margins

no format,

and a ton of random garbage

and I got 2 interviews at decent companies lol

Then I made a new latex one, 1 page, .5 margins

[craggy shuttle]

amazon is waitlisted somone got waitlisted here on the server @abstract wagon

if the interviewer mentioned, all the best for the coming interview: does that mean i passed or fail ?

was really vibing along with the interviwer

and it went past 15 mins as well

lol

thanks!

[remote geyser]

does it have to be in latex or is it okay if I make the same format but in something like google docs?

[cyan valley]

Oh no, Its fine I just made mine in latex

Cuz it was a nice nice format

that I liked

[charred roost]

It can be in docs lol

Latex just make it look nice

[remote geyser]

ah just making sure lol

[strong dove]

Word >> docs if you wanna fit more

[abstract wagon]

apple was easy i think i passed
couldnt implement very basic problem b/c of bug
ill be really mad if i dont pass since it was easier than lc easy

and the role is one i want not just crypto

i prepared way too much

[formal finch]

what was the technical question bro?

I’m scared for my interview this Thursday

[remote geyser]

why do you say word is capable of including more than docs?

[abstract wagon]

cant tell
for security or swe?

[formal finch]

So I see all these posts of people still getting Amazon OA/final round. Is it too late to apply for Amazon intern summer 2021?

[abstract wagon]

Never late

[ruby pendant]

Oh really? That’s fine cuz I’ll probably apply for fall 2021 and don’t want have to do the cool down

Thanks!

[charred roost]

Yeah I think it might be too late for summer as they're already waitlisting people

But yeah Fall is fair game

[abstract wagon]

There's no cool down for internship

[charred roost]

there is

i got rejected for their sde early in january and when i applied for a different position last week

it immediately got rejected

[ionic bronze]

[spare patio]

anyone know what wealthsimple HR round is like?

[craggy shuttle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/comments/lr6i8b/amazon_sde_intern_waitlist_thread/

[abstract wagon]

I was thinking between differents seasons like rejection in January 2021 for summer 2021 and new application in September 2021 but for summer 2022.

[charred roost]

Ah

[formal finch]

damn it feels like forever since I got an offer from a company

been taking too many Ls

[terse torrent]

Same

[craggy shuttle]

Same

[charred roost]

I am just farming L's at this point tbh

[dim sentinel]

Imagine getting an offer

All I farm are L

[low epoch]

when u want an offer from Big N but all you get are big L's

[dim sentinel]

I just want a offer from anything so I am not unemployed for the summer lol

[ionic bronze]

[formal finch]

I just want apple and Tesla offer

[weak oracle]

Signed my Amazon offer today

[ionic bronze]

big POG

[loud hollow]

when he got an offer from a big n

[low epoch]

the biggest N is obviously Nintendo

[craggy shuttle]

Anyoneeee has last moment tips for amazon ?

have final in next 1.5 hours

[heavy forum]

🕯️

[weak oracle]

Study heaps rq

[craggy shuttle]

heaps : okay,

what if they ask me quick select then @weak oracle

idk

lol i am still interviewing bro

[formal finch]

Nah dawg

[weak oracle]

nope ;/

[spare patio]

whys amazon still interviewing even tho they have a waitlist lol

[lilac cloak]

O(L)

[weak oracle]

Possibilities:

Maybe Exceptional Candidates can sidestep waitlist

Maybe they don’t know how much reneging to expect

To fuck with people

[trim jay]

I've had the same interaction and have had someone reach out to me so..

[craggy shuttle]

How many questions do we need to solve in amazon ?

@weak oracle

Solved the question in first 10 mins, it was a design proble. He asked me to optimise it and then do

by copying the entire code and making changes in to the next part

Did with heaps then after that i did it with BinarySearchTree

So, i wrote the code for all of them

[fervent remnant]

I coded one question and then interviewer asked a followup and we discussed approaches

[craggy shuttle]

but i think it could be done using LinkedList as well like something lru cache

[fervent remnant]

Interesting that you got design tho

[craggy shuttle]

daaang it was easy question

I should have taken some time

lol

maybe because of the speed he asked so many questions

It wasnt straigtht from LC

no use of LC grind

[fervent remnant]

Mine was luckily

And it was ez

guess it is all RNG

[craggy shuttle]

i mean mine was easy as well

lol

[weak oracle]

Sounds like you probs did well

I can't be sure exactly what you need

I had

LC medium
Same LC Medium but with big data
Map Reduce Question
Applied ML Qs

[craggy shuttle]

he was just asking me to do better nad better lol. i moved from nlog to n to log n but i cant make it o(1) i think lru cache approach could have been used

but it is what it is

[weak oracle]

I should probs learn what an lru cache is by next year

lol

"least-recently-used" 🤔

[craggy shuttle]

lol

idk

i think i did well but depends

now

can we see the portal change whether accepted or rejcted ?

as now there is a waitlist

?

[fervent remnant]

i don't think so

bc i'm waitlisted and my portal just says under review

[weak oracle]

Bruh I signed my offer and my portal still says "under review" 😭

[terse torrent]

😭

What company @weak oracle

Amz?

[weak oracle]

yee

[terse torrent]

Lol grats

[craggy shuttle]

@fervent remnant how many days it take to get the decision ? if i am waitlisted or rejected ?

How do i get to know that ?

[weak oracle]

probs find out tuesday

[craggy shuttle]

okaaay

[craggy shuttle]

My portal is under review now

it was coming as interview

earlier

[balmy blade]

is Amazon full now?

Or whats up

[split fractal]

yeah what's up, I keep hearing waitlist stuff, when did it start?

[loud hollow]

@pliant plank its two rounds

so this should be your final

yea i think it just varies by interviewer but usually they dont really ask anything besides like a self intro

bc they expect you to solve 2 lc problems in 45min

[hot bear]

did anyone here interview for rubrik or know anything about the company/their process?

[craggy shuttle]

@kindred cosmos mine is under review as well

[fervent remnant]

monday

[formal finch]

if I have an offer, should I mention this to Tesla and apple recruiter?

The offer isn’t an offer that I’m going to take if I’m getting reject from both company

however, I just wanna expedite my interview process but I don’t wanna put pressure on my recruiter and hiring managers to point where they say fuck it and reject me

@floral ravine do you think I should mention other interviews that I’m apart of but I don’t have an offer for these interviews to them as well?

I’m interviewing with HBOMax, Tesla, Apple, and NetApp this whole week

I have yet to get an offer but I’m like 90% sure that I got HBOMax and RedHat offers coming soon

[charred roost]

damn

that's a lot of dubs lol

[formal finch]

haha I just got lucky bro

I spammed apps every week

[charred roost]

lol nice nice

[formal finch]

I applied over 700 apps so far

[charred roost]

goddamn

I think I've applied to only like 200-250ish

but I also started applying kinda late

around nov/dec

[formal finch]

I started back in august

[charred roost]

damn

that seems to be the move

[formal finch]

yea

do you think it would be rude to say that?

I’m not final round for Tesla and apple

Icic

Does it look better in front of hiring managers to say that?

I’m curious if that boost my chances of getting an offer

rip

also how can I say it to the interviewer about my situation?

@floral ravine I was thinking of saying that I was wondering when should I hear back since I have interviews and possible offers from Tesla, NetApp, RedHat, and HBOMax

ask Cisco to move to offseason bro

At worst, you can renege one of the two offers for FB

I moved my Cisco offer to spring

@pliant plank

[cyan valley]

BRUH WHAT THE HELL

I stopped after 70 lOl

[formal finch]

Lmao it wasn’t too bad tbh and as long as you have music or something in the background

[cyan valley]

700 + school = 💀

[formal finch]

700 + school + work bro

[cyan valley]

= D e a d

[formal finch]

not good combo lol

[cyan valley]

700... bro

[formal finch]

I come from non target

[cyan valley]

What the heck LOL

[formal finch]

so, I need to mass apply for some interviews

[cyan valley]

Homie really went all

out

[formal finch]

hmm I would say 10%

It slowed down a lot once I got a somewhat okay offer

[cyan valley]

that moment when this guy has had 70 people get back to him

l o l

ggwp

[formal finch]

now, I only applied to companies that I found interesting or pays a lot

[cyan valley]

What was the first when u started getting picky

[formal finch]

Cisco and MasterCard

MasterCard was pretty reptutable name

[cyan valley]

o yeh ofc

[formal finch]

So, I thought it was okay to start being more picky

[cyan valley]

Yeh ofc

[formal finch]

I had some weeks where I had interviews back to back for the whole week

Like last Thursday until now, I have an interview everyday

[cyan valley]

is this for intern

[formal finch]

Yeah

my experience is a bit above avg for a typical 2nd year

Two internships - one at Cisco and one at local company

[cyan valley]

Now u got 70 places to hit up

for FT

yh id say so

[formal finch]

Haha I def agree but it’s local shitty companies

[cyan valley]

Im sure like 50% of them were

Fail OA

Or choke prob

Of the 10

[formal finch]

I just wanna get apple for summer and Tesla for fall

that’s most ideal situation

I would stop recruiting for the season if that’s the case

[fervent remnant]

Is the amazon waitlist FIFO?

[charred roost]

Are we assuming that the waitlist uses a stack data structure?

sorry

[weak oracle]

God, do we really not understand the difference between FIFO and LIFO

FIFO is a queue, because if you get in line first, you get out of line first

LIFO is a stack because the “last” plate you put on the stack of plates is the one you remove

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

Anyone know if Tinder is still hiring?

[lethal ore]

Didn't Tinder just release applications?

Unless if they are hiring a very small amount or they are speedy, I think they are still hiring

[charred roost]

O

Might try applying

Need to improve on leetcode first tho lol

[green salmon]

naaa

intuit usually sends everyone a karat

after OA now?

like a video interview?

[cyan valley]

this lowkey boutta be fr

Everyone getting intuit OA/Call

[charred roost]

I got the OA but I'm def not getting the call rip

[solemn escarp]

[remote geyser]

Did you pass all test cases ?

[pallid ivy]

[acoustic geode]

[waxen kelp]

Yup

[hasty panther]

I wanna get Tinder to see if the girls I get matched with are actual girls or bots coz most of them don't respond back

[tame ridge]

you may not like what you see, ignorance is bliss

[remote geyser]

When did you take it ?

And how long did you take to finish?

[waxen kelp]

last Monday, 20+ mins

[weak fjord]

Guys which companies are still hiring apart from Intuit?

[hasty panther]

HRT I believe, I recently took their OA but got rejected even after a perfect score

[weak fjord]

Why the fuck do they send out OAs then

[brave heron]

I did the hrt oa and just never heard back

[craggy shuttle]

sameee

i did hrt in sometime around july

with perfect score

but a reject

[dim sentinel]

same here

[brave heron]

perfect score too lol rip 😦

[rustic sonnet]

When do application cycles typically start for next winter

[weak fjord]

?

Okta already rejected me

Gonna try wepay & snowflake

[coral sandal]

anyone interview for workday? i have a technical interview on hackerrank scheduled soon

[quasi rune]

i havent done the intuit OA yet

but we have until saturday but my plan is to do it friday night

is that fine or will that be a problem?

[green salmon]

@quasi rune

Get it done as soon as possible brother

Competition

Is building plus I heard they closing up the recruiting process soon

[quasi rune]

gotcha man thank you👍

[weak fjord]

How long after app does intuit send OA?

[quasi rune]

not sure but most of us in here got the emails about the assesment around the same time

[weak fjord]

I just applied 5 hours ago

Hopefully that's not too late

[charred roost]

Shouldn't be but someone said yesterday that Intuit is wrapping things up soon

[quasi rune]

it definitely took a couple days before i got my assesment when the link was posted in the intern_postings channel

[charred roost]

Yeah for me it took a few days to get the OA

[weak fjord]

I guess I'll find out

Any other companies you guys know of that are still hiring for summer/fall?

Apart from Intuit/WePay/Snowflake

[charred roost]

I think Walmart is still hiring

And there are a lot of lesser known companies still hiring I assume

[weak fjord]

What about eBay?

I got an auto OA

Idk if it's worth doing it

[charred roost]

I spent like 20 minutes yesterday just going through the Fortune 500 list

and just checking those companies' sites

[quasi rune]

yeah i just have to sit down one day and just mass apply ive been doing some and then stopping but i dont think that's the move right now...especially for summer internships lol

[weak fjord]

I've been applying to companies for the past 3-4 hours

[charred roost]

lol yea

mass applying is the way to go

I've got midterms tho so I gotta find a balance between the two lol

[quasi rune]

yeah i have so much shit to do for school that i need to worry about ive been putting this intuit OA off😩

[charred roost]

I just did my Intuit OA yesterday just to get it over with

And I got unlucky with a tough graph problem lol

So I've lost hope for them

[quasi rune]

damn...i need to start taking these OA's seriously...running out of companies to even apply for the summer at this point

[charred roost]

same

[narrow patrol]

hm

do yall think in person this summer would be good?

or nah cause there is still covid anyway

[balmy blade]

Idk bout you but

being at home for last year is not the move

Remote internship u gonna get distracted and not as fun

[charred roost]

Yeah I think in person would be a lot better

[potent oriole]

well vaccines are suppose to happen

and we still got time

[balmy blade]

Does any1 even know any confirmed places in person

We got ~3months

[potent oriole]

Chewy doesn't know yet they said theyll let me know in april

[twilit mesa]

apparently by june most people should be vaccinated

[charred roost]

I think that's a pretty ambitious goal

But that'd be cool to reach

[torn dagger]

yall think fall will be in person for colleges?

[twilit mesa]

i think so

[torn dagger]

i been paying $1300 rent for this school apartment

[twilit mesa]

most colleges will probably make it so that everyone that goes to in person has to be vaccinated doe

[torn dagger]

havent touched campus

[twilit mesa]

i mean apparently the US now vaccinates more people per day than what all of canada has vaccinated

[charred roost]

I think it'll still be a mix of in person/online

with more core classes being in person
