I have opportunities at every FAANG besides Netflix and got an offer from a top company by just simply networking
quant stuff will be the hardest to break through to but other than that, everything is considerably viable
Top schools just make it a bit easier
hmm I seen ppl get into citadel from non target school
and even some quants have undergrad programs that will get ur foot in the door if ur from non-target
yeah ofc i just mean statistically, those places will have like 80% of people from top schools (i'm making up numbers but i'd put $ on it)
haha yeah but it just keep pushing bro if you want it. It will eventually happen
that’s the vibe u need to have to get into tech
I went from failing C1 where I thought I was getting the offer to getting an offer at Tesla! I was lowkey sad but I grinded to get interviews at Apple, Tesla, PlayStation, and HBO a week later
So, you just have to be persistent!
sorry if I flexed a bit in the last post!
btw I don’t go to prestigious college lol
it’s decent school which is prob same level as Texas A and M
Grind is important
You can only use this command in #2021_grad_process or #2021_intern_process
Anyone interviewed with West Monroe?
What programs are these?
Jane Street is a quantitative trading firm and liquidity provider with a unique focus on technology and collaborative problem solving.
Arent those essentially smol internships lol
And rigor of the interviews are prolly hard even for the 2-4 day programs
i got into one of the programs aimed at my demographic, the entry program i completed was easy + some essays
and i'm dumb as bricks
I got a weird follow up from em
yesterday, and I applied ages ago
For fall
lmao I have their first round in an hour and have no idea what to expect
Good luck!
im currently a soph and gonna decline my amazon offer, how do i respond if i want to get another interview next year?
or do i just have to go through the whole process again like a stranger
don't quote me but amazon's process is so streamlined that you'll likely have to just go thru the whole thing
but if you're turning down amazon now chances are you'll get something better next year so I wouldn't sweat it too much
t5 UC maybe
bro
Jane streets programs are all target LOL
my friends went to one and they were fr like the only non target
It’s a hard life for us 😔
No, u need jane street internship to qualify for jane street internship
+1
i have multiple friends that had faang and got ghosted by all quants
and i go to semi target
be competitive programmer god
then quant give u chance
be handsome
no
what's competitive programming?
its smt that allowed @lethal berry to be goated
its also dying inside in front of your screen when your two pointer pattern doesnt work for a div 2a problem for 2 hours 
bro ur gold
isnt that like expert on codeforces
im gold (in league)
he prolly wanted a decent wlb
like would u rather pull 10-12 hrs at quant on call or just have standard 9-5 or less
10-12 and retire early
he prolly enjoys cp for the problem solving not for the money
@kindred cosmos was the school ucf?
wheres south dakota again
wait not even with previous Big N experience? 
idt thats the case
i've asked ppl on reddit who did software eng at quant interviews and they said it was mainly leetcode
and idt they hire by diversity lol
well, just gotta grind CP then
if u fuck up in a quant then firm looses thousands+ of dollars
if u accidentally push smt to production at google the worst thats gonna happen is that theres a stray button somehwere
even two sum 👀
yea and that
so they dont hire by diversity lol
Are any places still taking summer if I apply now?
Has anyone interview with open door?
I got three responses from just this week alone when I applied probably about 1-2 weeks ago so there’s plenty of places still hiring now
intel, apple, linkedin, tesla, and more
Yeah I agree, there's still a lot of companies hiring
So you can definitely still get an internship for the summer
?
?
Wait when did this happen, is this after you accept the offer?
Or is it only if you're not hybrid/in person?
Ah I see that's a bummer thought glad they're still giving the stipend for remote interns tho
the way i see it
theyre giving us free money
im bummed about not getting premium too
but its k
money is money
are relo stipends supposed to be flexible even if you're virtual? my summer one is fully remote but they still plopped on a flat $3.5k
never had an internship with relo stipends so idk if that's normal
Anyone got the zscaler OA
I think Fall starts soon right?
I've seen Fall already for Tesla, Honda and a few other companies
fuck amazon steal that 1.4k from them
Anyone got wepay OA?
I needed your opinion guys. I'm currently working as a test engineer intern at a company. Do other companies look down upon test engineers (or interns) ? Cuz, although my response rate has increased for summer internships, so has my rejection rate. Earlier i used to get mostly ghosted, but now I'm getting rejected. This is not the only internship i have on my resume, there are a couple of them, but those are not in the US.
Are these rejections unrelated to my current position, or theyre related to it?
audible has internship out for summer 2022 
what is a software engineer in test
when did u apply?
I'd say the rejections are unlikely to be related to the position, but I also am of the opinion that getting rejected is better than getting ghosted
Quality assurance. Checking everything works as per the story (or feature specs)
True that, i very much prefer rejection to ghosting. Maybe its just the timeline...
Do you guys think its too late for summer internships? I been applying since jan but im worried now its too late and I should look for falls
i still have interviews for summer so not too late
your chances of landing summer are higher than landing fall
there's nothing out there for fall
thats better than me
😭
rip
didnt realize could switch to fall so i lost motivation ://
damnn congrats!!
yea i still want fall rly badly we will see tho
there is barely openings 😦
im going to try cold email ig
did you get the w company
?
yeah
holy fuck
oh shit thats awesome
whats your dream job? if i may ask
First week of Jan
yo thats littt
glad to see that meow is doing good
going to
the rest of the semester
what's your guys opinion about smartsheet?
never heard of it, got a phone interview coming up (tbh i don't think i applied)
they used to be huge
do u guys have a preference of a specific company as dream company
or do u guys not prefer as long as its big tech
@abstract tiger Did u Get OA
Like just now?
I legit applied like 4 days ago, and got the OA the next morning 💀
I thought it was automated
^
maybe an unpopular opinion, but i wanna work where i can learn from the best engineers and be an elite coder man. obv i still care a bit about money but usually good salaries come with working at a company with good people
i totally agree, i think learning from other engineers is important and is a great env to be in
that > pay imo
anyone taken wepay oa?
usually both come together at big companies
rippppp
its on leetcode
i m not gonna count on interview then 
u can technically cheese but i didnt feel like it
ye id rather not tbh
get fucked in interview anyway 
yea tru tru
we see if i make it
im losing hope for fall 
:despair
Are uinternational or like need sponsership or what not
I did wepay
I did it in one of my classes
honestly same, I wana be a great architect or designer
Lmfao
yeah nothing wrong with chasing money tbh
financial freedom my friend
that too bro 
u gott ado what u gott ado
create your own meaning for your life
that sounds harder to do than getting top job tbh
does snap care a lot about gpa
No
Which companies are still hiring?
Mcdonald's
McDonalds SWE was actually kinda nuts, its in chicago lol
I actually got rejected from McDonald's internship 
same tho
that was me with my chick fil a offer haha
god i want
chick fil a

the amount of money they'd make
if they worked on sunadys
man
at least just open it after lunch
😦
don't people usually go to sunday church in the morning?
open it during lunch
so people can go there after church
🙂
Bois, got my first and only offer on Friday 😭😭😭😭I had given up all hope and it was from a company that rejected me in the fall too. Don’t give up!
what company?
i think honda most definitely
or toyota
im so fucking tired rn
i did a 24hr hackathon where i coded for 14/24 hrs
and my fingers are fucked
Fidelity!
@frosty ginkgo damn yeah hackathons are rough, I won my first make-a-thon a couple weeks ago, and we built the barebones of an app for that
It was easier than a hackathon tho because it involved any majors and anyone could submit ideas to fix sustainability issues
I was pretty proud of it and actually asked out a girl on my team that I met, so we are getting drinks this next weekend 😳things looking up guys, I’ve had a tough couple personal months with a disabled dad I’m the guardian of and a best friend getting killed, but I promise it does get better, don’t give up 🥺
Fidelity got back to you on friday>
POG bro
bros poppin off both ways man
congrats!!!!! 
thank you guys 🙏
yes for sure dude, more relieving than anything since I'm a junior and took 1.5 years to do poli sci and just came back to CS this past fall
goddamn dude i won this fucking hackathon with 1st place + most innovative just now
but i have no girl in my group or anyone in my group 
Congrats bro! The work was worth it, that’s hard as hell to do
wait ur the guy that always posts in leetcode discussions right
not rly
huh
where do you guys even find hackathons
they sponsored by your school or something?
or do you just google "hackathons in (my area)" and show up
yea this was my hs hackathon
went in as a freshman not winnign anything and went out as a senior winnign 1st 😤
wtf there are highschool kids here
no im in hs lol
i feel old now
i decided not to attend hackathons months before since all myprojects were solo
but i decided fuck it and attended this one
my dude i rmb i saw ur portfolio
idk what anything there is abt but its popuular and ppl use it
which is hella nice
oh did i post my projects here?
oh yeah that's right
but i rmb that logo from somehwere
well i am envious of people like you who get into programming at a young age
you will be a genius by the time you're mid 20s
yea i get you
its the same for me imao
jelous of the ppl that know fullstack as a hs freshman
and then the cycle continues with them
and then again and again they compair themselves
idt it ever stops lol
terry tao is the goat
When companies say this in their JD: "A rising senior or above pursuing a BS in Computer Science or related field", does that mean that they'll not consider grads at all??
I use this https://mlh.io/seasons/2021/events
everything is remote nowadays so it's easier to attend more than eevere
nice!!
if you get rejected/waitlisted, you can just DM someone for the slack/discord to participate and nobody will bat an eye
Don't you have to register for them a few weeks in advance?
Like I'm going to be attending LAHacks in a few weeks but applications for it were closed a few weeks ago
oh 😦
does anyone know if krispy kreme has internships
im not sure if this includes swe
I LOVE KRISPY KREME
food places usually have SWE lol

Damn the Smartsheet OA wasn't bad
I probably messed up a bit on the mc
But otherwise, wasn't hard
Not a fan of the coding platform though
Every time it would bring up autocomplete suggestions, instead of bring suggestions relevant to my code, it would just show a list of Java keywords
Yeah same
is it worse than having to code in a google doc
probably
What’s Cisco’s SWE process like? I got this aspiring minds email thing and I have no idea if it’s a coding OA or what lol
they still accepting apps for summer?
No idea, I did apply recently tho (last week)
Could’ve been an automated OA
damn i thought they filled up by now idk
No idea if they’re still hiring for summer
i havent taken it but i read from csmajors that its a coding oa
Still gonna do the OA for fun
mostly lc med afaik
Ahhh gotcha
and no one liked the platform
I got it last week but didn’t read it properly and thought it was some volunteer survey 
im down badddddddd
how hard was it lol
Wasn’t too hard tbh. I just didn’t expect to do my own I/O for the problems, haven’t done it in a while so I spent more time on that than actual coding on the problems lol. Didn’t finish the 3rd one so most likely failed it
Still was fun to do, but the UI was garbage
yea i think thats what ppl were complainign abt
This is where doing more CP comes in handy 
This assessment was def catered to people who do CP, but the questions were easy asf. I just ran outta time figuring out the I/O bs
bruh this is cisco lol not fucking jump trading or belevedere trading
Google doesn’t use google docs anymore
does it look bad to apply to tons of openings at a company (20+) if they're all the same job (swe in ML/big data)
damn i really failed 6 interviews with big n
in 2021
all i needed was 1 offer
I failed more at not big n
Anyone know of any uncommon ways to easily find internships?
For a freshmen in college
step 1: be the son of the ceo
Does anyone know of an internship for this summer?
yes i do know one
Oh really, that is great. What is it? Rather where is it?
you can apply for research at your school or local startups
angelist has a lot of startup postings, some are on linkedin and indeed aswell
you can also cold email startups that don't have internship postings
if they're looking for fulltimers with experience in X technology and you also have experience in X technology via projects, send them an email asking if they're willing to bring on an intern. Mention that you have experience with what they're looking for. Hope that helps gl
doesn’t rly matter tbh either way you’re signing up not to ever work with the first company again
absolutely not true
Wait yeah reneging doesn't mean you're blacklisted from working for a company lol
it doesn’t mean you’re blacklisted but you should treat it as such
not true
you’re free to have your own opinion lol i gave mine
you can reapply just dont be surprised if you get rejected for that reason
I have done that, my friends have too and have later gone on to work for the same company
I'm kinda leaning towards the latter but idk, wording really matters
Kinda leaning towards the latter too
ive never reneged before but id personally keep it short and just say you were under the impression that it would be swe and as a result you’re no longer continuing with the position
Yea def this keep it short and don't let em know if you're going elsewhere
Yeah this sounds good
Anyone know if HRT OA is automated? Is it worth doing if 100 gets reject
I don't think it's automated
I haven't gotten one lol
Anyone know what the Vanguard OA is like?
I know its automated but just want to know what to expect
I got hrt c++ oa over the summer and that one was prob automated it was a "everyone does it at the same time on the same day" OA this one might not be thi
This is for systems
i finished it in 15 mins and got rejected
Hudson River trading
rip
@merry ruin how so?
i took it a while back
its pretty easy
i think there were 2 questions iirc
Is it bad if i tell a company I'm interviewing elsewhere and to reschedule
Cuz they scheduled it at the same time
ah fair
Is WePay OA automated?
I’m not a junior so I got rejected, not sure if it’s automatic for juniors
i didnt get it
yes
Yes, I got it after I applied, got rejected today
wow they really send an automated iq test, then that...
Yeah and the essays
hol up, i get the written interview, and a rejection 20 min later without doing it
They’re probably reviewing applications today
And the written interview is automatic
has anyone applied to and interviewed at tradeweb yet
Anyone heard back from khol’s early talent program?
I just got the email
I heard you’re guaranteed an interview for next year’s internship
Main reason I signed up
I’m not sure, seems like a quick event
does anyone know the differences btw SAP Concur, SuccessFactors, etc
like is the pay similar between teams
Wepay gives automated OA?
I think so
they look at oa-> resume i think
I applied, and got the wepay OA in like
10 hours
So im pretty sure its automated lol
Does any1 know do intern salarys tend to get negotiated or na
no
Hmmm
I think intern salaries are non negotiable
how do you do OOD questions
Has anyone gotten an email from Cisco after the interview asking if I'd wanna intern there? Recruiter asked "would this be a team you may like to intern with this summer"
Nah I got nothing from them 
anyone interview for unity vancouver?

lmao
walmart version of FAANG except Facebook lol
im going to cry if I don't get any OAs this week 😦
i really hope there's still positions available, idc about FAANG
How many day's it take to get the Amazon offer after portal updates ?
Can we cancel the interview few hours before it is scheduled, if we are not going to accept it or just do it and decline if get the offer ?
Xd I was confused too
I saw the listing and was like
2022 ???????
why does it seem impossible to find ML roles if you don't go to stanford or the like?
Amazon gives ML roles to non IVY+ if you have the skillset 👀
but I can see you already simp for bananas 🍌
Anyone got phone screen with hr for wepay?
If yes, how was it? What did they ask u?
Has anyone here done Schlumberger’s OA?
hey for anyone working at paypal this summer or has in the past is there a discord for paypal interns? if there is would love an invite as im working there this summer
which is better for impact on my resume?
open door or tesla
ultimate goal is getting Apple btw
huh wasnt schlumberger just first round technical?
I didn’t have technical first round, I had non-technical first round about 30 minutes and then they sent me an OA
oh weird icic
Has anyone gone thru to the bnp paribas final round for the tech internship b4
Has anyone done an interview with PAX labs?
Has anyone done the final interview with Walmart? What kind of questions can I expect?
Ouch.. Did they ever get back to you?
Just got my first OA from Dropbox can anyone let me know what type of problems they asked (easy, medium, hard) and what questions/topics to prepare for the OA?
Thanks!
I have a friend who had his today and they didn't show up either
sample space of 2
how do they pay? 
jokes aside, did u get perfect on OA?
When apply for internship where they have set knowledge requirements, do I have to know absolutely everything they list?
Hey guys quick question when is it okay to message a recruiter on linkedin to ask for an update on your application. I sent them around a week ago and havent gotten anything. I just want an OA assessment. Also do i only have to message one recruiter on linkedin at the company or is it cool if I message two or three?
i just fudged up my amazon oa i hate myself
How bad, did you at least get one question right? You only need 1/2 to have a shot to move forward
not everyone gets final
its luck
Well it’s luck plus aggregation of OA1 and OA3
For which OA ru talkin abt? Oa2?
OA2 yeah
I got 8/8 and 0/8 and moved on
Of course, it’s possible that the ML pool of applicants was overall weaker than the normal SDE
Yes, phone screen with hr on this front
How long after signing amazon did you guys have to wait before getting surveys abt hybrid/remote or start date?
Any amazon discord channel ?
is this for ML swe intern at amazon?
Yeah
So I suppose like if there were less ML applicants then they'd just take the top x% performers from those to interview (and I suspect in general the ML people probably are weaker overall compared to the general pop (which has a lot of competitive programmers))
Which means OA bar might have been a bit lower
oo ok nice nice gl!
if a company requests for background info after i finished the interview process, does that mean im in?
How does amazon give out ml swe intern roles
I’m a normal swe intern at amazon this summer
Since they pick teams randomly is there a chance I be a ml swe intern?
It means they want to blacklist you
So that you can never get an interview again by mistake
that is definitely not true lol
have you committed any misdemeanors lately?
Ignore him, he's a pangloss
How do CPT applications work? What documents do I have to give to the recruiter, and are there deadlines on that?
ps: I know this may be uni specific but any info would help, I've never done an internship in the US
Recruiters dont need to have any documents afaik. You need to send the offer letter and internship details to your international students office at your Uni. I would suggest mailing your international student advisor on what documents the uni will need to process your CPT
how common is it to get some sort of stipend for like office supplies and stuff when remote?
ive had a few friends whose company does something like this
datadog and google offer stipends for office supplies
im wondering if its worth asking my people if its a possibility
i dont want them to hate me before i start my internship lol
nah i was told to look out for it so i think its guaranteed for this particular company
Anyone worked at Slalom Build before?
Which company is still hiring for summer '21?
Has anyone whos interning at Okta this summer heard about whether there internship is remote or not yet
when i got the offer the recruiter said theyd let us know in march
anyone working at paypal this summer?
Lmao I reneged today
The recruiter saw my announcement post
She commented congrats!
Just got an OA from Amazon what difficulty/ types of problems should i expect and is it 2 questions or 1?
The first OA I think was 7 questions about debugging code
how did they respond to ur renege
Isn't announcing right after a renege kinda
lol
Congrats 🙂
When I reneged, she asked did you renege for Msft
Since I accidentally said msft
yea its understandable you just gotta be happy for them
like if your gf fucked cristiano ronaldo
what companies brotha
MasterCard
for?
Tesla
glooks
I’m crying bruh this is such a funny comparison
looking at your pfp, it checks out lmao
unfortunately I’m still apple simp
"are you wearing pants" 
W
🐐 DId u just apply normally to tesla
yeah
how did they get back 2 u
yessir!! Comment on my announcement post for the sexy gif 🙂
It looks very crisp and clean
thank you!
Is he Walter White?
can we get the location changed for amazon ?
I don't think so
Are any more big N companies still recruiting or should I go with my c1 offer
Tesla is still recruiting
from what I been hearing around
should i contact the recruiter if i haven’t heard back a week after the final round?
Link for amazon sde interns ?
if you're reading this then i hope you have a great day today!! remember to stay hydrated & take breaks :D
there is a #781584501943828490 channel, just need to enter it using bot commands
so lets say a recruiter reached out for a call today and i had final round on monday- is this good or bad
obviosuly can be either, but what are my chances here
I've heard both
I think most companies call to give an offer
but I got a call then turned out to be a failure
on such short notice i have a good feeling, but who knows
but I think more instances of call being good
yea
did they send an email scheduling call
get that bread 💰
thats probably a better indicator
did they ask additional questions like are you an international student/have visa
im gonna not say for now cuz im superstitious
and no they asked about those questions earlier on i think
good luck
good luck
its a part of this server lol
it was "do you happen to have any availability today to call? let me know and we can find a time to chat!"
my man here needs it
tone seems solid
yeah tone seems positive
idk its hard to speculate
yea
only one way to find out
yea just have to wait and see
yep
whoops forgot i was on cscareers and not csmajors
keep them guessing
if i get a phat reject over phone < 3 days after interbiew then its not meant to be


prayge
thanks yall
what place
im gonna hold off from saying for now
how
ye true im just gonna wait til the call
if you r rlly curious you can look at msgs ive sent in here haha
na
google called me up 4 days after to hand me the reject after the final lol
has anyone interviewed with apple cloud services before?
Yeah that's cuz people know google does that
Bro when I got a call from google I was legit celebrating just to get told I was rejected
interestingly sophomore year my recruiter called me to tell me i was rejected
but this year my recruiter just emailed me to tell me i got an offer
i had different recruiters both years though
so it's def on a recruiter basis
wait they still do that? lmao
https://www.docugami.com/careers - They are currently looking for full-time interns for Summer of 2021. if anyone interested.
Transform how businesses create and manage documents for greater productivity, compliance, and insight using breakthrough artificial intelligence.
@dull sedge were you in project search stage?
is there anywhere that's still recruiting
yeah there are a decent amount of companies still hiring
you can probably find them on handshake/linkedin/angellist
It was in the fall when I got rejected. Didn’t make it to project stage
oh i see
what is consider a big n company ?
someone told me that tesla isnt a big n company
that isnt right correct?
does anyone here speak fluent french and live in Canada, I found an internship if anyone wants it. it's remote position for french speakers only
I don't, but I have friends who might want to do it
let em know, then PM me
Trying classify is a losing game, there are so many companies people would say are not big N but are more prestigious than them
You’re gonna waste your time trying to label every company
oh gotcha just curious lol
udemy has summer intern apps i think theyre new
Yeah I saw them yesterday and applied
Its summer 2021
Anyone had interviewed with wepay?
They got regular SWE, SWE for their data platform, SWE for their data recommendations team, and data science
Oh also
Sonos got some positions
Just checked LinkedIn and saw that they posted yesterday
Whats the most worth it places for corporate housing
Pls give me this role 
LOL
It's a competitive career
Where do you guys look for roomates?
Usually in the living room or their bedrooms. Sometime the kitchen.
Do you guys know any websites where I can find roommates?
Yeah I fucked up and only had the naive solution to the flashlight assembly/disassembly question
i fucked up
linkedin interview is 2 rounds today
i thought it was just coding round
lmao behavioural is easy though
they were both technical but the first interviewer said i killed it
🤞

prayer time boys
2nd round kinda iffy it was code review basically
Og is back in the server
I finally got an offer after non-stop grinding and 400+ applications since August 2020!
congrats dude! remember seeing you when i first joined the server
Unfortunately this means that full-time positions 2022 grind starts today
yeah I just started leetcoding again yesterday
this server's gonna need a 2022_grads channel soon lol
epic! what company?
Does anyone have any tips/advice for a current sophomore looking for internships? I've applied to like 200 places and so far have gotten mostly ghosted. I've gotten 3 interviews for two companies and that's about it. I honestly feel like I'm doing something wrong
Also I'm noticing a lot of roles are asking for experience with web dev: a couple OA's I've done asked to handle https requests, etc - what are some good resources to learn web dev?
imo sophs are pretty screwed systemically
usually to even get OAs as a soph you need a referral, and some companies won't even consider sophs for standard intern positions
Still a bit stressed out
Most of my friends already have sophomore internships at places like audible, capital one, blizzard, microsoft, etc
And I can't even get an interview with local startups
lot of sophs put 22 grad date
But almost none of my friends have anything for the summer
And all these people I see pulling top tech companies seem to have really strong sophomore internships
It helps a bit
Yeah ik one of my friends did that
wouldnt say that
tbh
ive seen a lot on linkedin
which are getting like
2-3 ultra pog junior internships
with like
no prior exp
so, its possible!
but, obv soph internship helps
@steady obsidian congrats!
Yeah its definitely possible to get something in the summer after junior year even without prior experience
legend bro 🙌 u been on the grind forever and it paid off
I think TA RA is not bad
If you don't get anything for this summer, improve your skills, work on projects and focus on applying for next summer
Congrats!
^^this
also wait
try to get research
or TA
also
Yeah having a TA/RA position can count as experience
I see lots of go from that to op job
and pay
debatable
depends on the startup and exp
Ye it depends
i did both and i think the unpaid helped me more
I did some computer vision research with a prof last summer
didn't seem to help any tho
Makes sense if its within the same industry you want to work in
well both were like swe intern/CS ta
ah
@frosty ginkgo finally got an offer dawg 
quite frankly the worst recruiting szn ever
Yea more so for international students
It’s 3am here in India and I can’t even sleep because I’m so stressed out and kinda down about how things are
I’ve told myself I won’t give up but idk nothing seems to be working out in life sadly
Highkey feeling the same way, but the only thing to do is keep trying @runic tinsel
acche din
bro i have applied to 400+ internships since August
failed at least 70 interviews
we balling
Masters student
Lol I study in the US
burre din
I’m probably bottom of the pile indian SWE
Ya 
just kidding bruv, we in this hoe together
Failed Facebook, Roblox, Bloomberg, PagerDuty, Google, NerdWallet, Affirm and some others
Apple on Monday hopefully I pull through
We should honestly make a channel for all failures
half the CS students have a stick so far up their ass you can smell the plywood from their mouth
@jagged mason do you go to a target
all finals?
niceee what company?
my dude u did ur bachelors at a target
ur def better than the avg swe
Also thank you guys @split shuttle @charred roost @narrow patrol @terse torrent. Y'all helped me feel a lot better about this whole process
Eh Idk if it’s a target because from the looks of it a few tech companies have blacklisted this school 🤷🏽♂️
who blacklists ucsd bruh
Microsoft
Bruh why would they blacklist a school
If a lot of people renege from that school probably
Yee no problem my dude, this year has been a crazy year
So no need to feel bad that you haven't gotten aynthing
For all of us who are taking Ls this internship season. Do you guys wanna get together and work on some sort of project during the summer?
Sure why not
@shrewd karma half and half
Facebook (1st) , Roblox (After final, they picked someone over me), Bloomberg (final), PagerDuty(final), Google(two rounds), NerdWallet(first phone screen), Affirm(still waiting) and some others
what tech stack?
i’d be down to work on a project
I might have gotten a W but my hours are pretty flexible
No idea. We could get together and brainstorm something that we think could be fun
I might be on track for a W
Just had an interview and the whole team was on it
And they seemed to like me and liked how I did their technical tasks
what company
Yeah I'm only 20 lol
since 21 is vape buying age afaik
Yeah they have had under 21 interns
ye it is
aw man then they prolly cant give u free shit
Anyone wanna do iOS app?
I wanna do more things in iOS app so Apple can notice me again 😭😂
ios dev sucks
if an interview is easy then that means its harder b/c everyone else passed too right?
linkedin was dummy ez but they promoted the role on their own site so tons of other candidates also passed it easily -> so i'd be rejected b/c other people somehow did better or have more experience
not necessarily bc they may just be interviewing a smaller number of candidates
thats a hot take right there
I've only ever heard of people praising iOS dev and shitting on Android dev lol
Same rip apples products have been years behind windows/android up until the m1 Mac imo
ask ur summer internship company for a MacBook and learn iOS dev on company time 
🧠
@crimson brook nah. Apple's software is years ahead of microsoft in every aspect.
Subjective
Nah not at all
Can't even select default apps 
cause of privacy
yeah I'll agree with the privacy aspect
Spotify and Chrome can be selected as defaults now
I thought it was only for Browsers on iOS
Music apps still can't be selected right
Apple had The Verge change their wording on an article
Ye it was related to this
Apple's software to hardware integration is insane
Can't argue with that
an i5 on a mac is like an i7 on windows
🤔
Tbh i think macs will have a massive monopoly in the future
The rate at which Apple is going is insane. Microsoft will become Blackberry
Idk about that, a lot of legacy systems still exist in the world
And Apple don't really fuck with legacy systems
Yeah I agree, but the world will eventually adapt
Hmm
We can agree to disagree lol
Also rip Homepod, Apple finally discontinued it
(the full size one atleast)
did they?
interesting yeah Alexa and Google mini are competitive asf
Yeah Homepod Mini definitely makes a lot of sense since Google's Nest Mini and the Echo Dot are doing so well
If the homepod was the same price
id get the homepod but alexa and google minis are so cheap
The mini is the same price as Google's latest offering I think
Both are $99
free with spotify
But yeah the echo dot is super cheap
has anyone interviewed w/ Tanium?
Software is p subjective I haven't had much use with macOS so I can't really say but I mean hardware
You can get much better for the same price
Yeah the price is pretty much the main reason why I got a Windows laptop
Yea I'd consider an M1 MacBook pro if apple releases a 15.6 inch one and if docker/other apps get supported
Yeah a 15in Macbook Pro with M1 would be dope
imagine buying apple products
overpriced shit lol
literally freebsd but restructing users and limiting features
*moderately overpriced quality shit
the m1 air i'm using legit makes me feel like i coulda just bought this freshman year and it would've lasted me all university no problem
Iphones are junk lol
They slow down and get wild bugs after 1 year
FaceTime crashes constantly on my iphone 10
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone say that about iPhones
My brother has an iPhone X and it still seems to work fine
why yall crying abt iphones vs apple
ur salary later on gonna allow u to buy both at the same time
a better macos is available online for free
without apps you cant remove so more storage
literally plagiarized bsd which is free
I feel the opposite lmao, I used to think apple products were overpriced but comparing to any windows / android machine I've touched, all their products are godsend. Haven't had any of the products crash a single time and performance feels as good as the first day
maybe if I built a mega customized linux system myself it could have the same performance but the QOL and ecosystem already in apple never makes me wish for anything
Lol I guess we now know who’s broke
compared to bsd its the same
bsd is free
in fact macos is 80% copied from bsd
it's not that simple
hey has anyone taken goldman sachs hackerrank for summer analyst if so can u tell me what the questions were i would really appreciate it
Does 100% in the WePay OA lead to interview?
not guaranteed
Source?
getting 100% on an OA never guarantees an interview
For some companies it does
@weak fjord No.
worth cutting down 16 week internship to 15?
it depends, why are you cutting it down to 15?
extra week off before school to chill (like 3 weeks off total)
and it's slightly easier to find housing i think
then yes I'd consider it worth it personally
idrc care about losing 1 week of pay
but not sure how much it matters to lose 1 week of experience
probably not much
especially if its at the tail-end of your internship
havent seen too many job postings lately :/
I try finding them on LinkedIn
But one company made separate listings for each location their position is available in
And bc its remote, they've listed it for every major city in the US lol
lol
yeah ive been trying linkedin more but a lot of them send me to shitty 3rd party websites
Yeah I've noticed that
Super annoying
Handshake is another place I check
There are a lot of companies that post on there
yeah i try there too
I am gettting one call for hr round on monday. is there any opening for summer internship available ?
Got a full score on WePay OA with 35 mins left
Is anyone getting phones after OA for WePay?
Did any of your companies cancel housing or reloc for going remote?
anyone ever get another interview after bombing the interview?
like in a future season
which company @dense solar
I bombed uber and i think my interviewer might've blacklisted me lol,i didn't even get to coding a solution to the lc hard
Mine canceled housing
Wasn't as big as uber, local company in Mass
Damn which one?
Vanguard
Damn that's rough
Anyone ever had a 20 mins video call with echoAR for summer internship ?
we dont blacklist over one failing interview
theres a cooldown timer of like 6 months
pretty standard among larger tech companies
can I DM you
Has anyone done the OA for the RealReal? Can someone say how difficult it is?
^ I got one too but haven't done it yet
When did y'all apply
i'd prefer for u to ask in here so that other people can benefit from the information
people tend to use this server as a search-engine for company names, so i would like to keep information accessible for everyone
Hello just joined after watching tik tok. I'm a sophomore in college, any internships still available for sophomores?
Yeah there are still companies recruiting for the summer
You should be able to find them on LinkedIn and Handshake
Thank you, as a sophomore do you think I still have a chance?
I don't have many personal side projects as well. I only have 1 and working on another one.
there are ppl that have gotten offers as sophomores
so yes u have a chance
@frosty ginkgo Thank you... I appreciate it!
Definitely
You still I didn’t had that many projects and I landed one
what company?
bro, you don't need mentorship or anything like that. All you need is dedication, do around 150 leetcode medium/hard problems, and some research + extracurricular experience. Maybe focus on doing this this summer?
Thank yall so much. Imma start applying and keep working on my projects. I'll keep grinding leetcode as well.
I've done research with a professor last summer. But it was a statistic research. I do work with the schools it management department taking care of the website and adding new features so Ill add that in as well
- but do mediums/hards, not 70% easy 30% mediums
Mediums and hard, got it. If I csnt figure it out for a couple of days should I just look at the answers?
Thatd be kind of discouraging ngl lol
Aim on finishing 1~2 problems/day
and focus on graphs
interviewers love graphs for some reason, cuz it makes sense for them
but also practice dynamic programming, twosum, threesum, linked lists, tree traversal...
if i cant figure it out after 30 min i look at answers
i didnt get too many graph problems when recruiting for intern positions tbh
like 1 total
Ah okay and do you guys recommend switching languages? I love cpp but a lot of people recommend python for interviews
Personally, I don't think you need a set number/large number of leetcodes to do. When you're starting out, it's good to focus on making working, all tests passing code, but after a while, I don't think grinding aimlessly like this is worthwhile. Categorize the question types (i.e. arrays, strings, stacks/queues, backtracking, graphs, ...) and focus on the key points of the question, approaches you can easily bounce off of regardless of the question. You will likely burn yourself out and not have time to do all the possible leetcodes for a company, so it's best to just have a good sense of the fundamentals rather than grind without a goal.
Ohh so just focus more on the implementation of the ideology of the problem/algorithm than the actual problem?
So it's never too late to prepare, especially as a sophomore, you still have junior year regardless even if you can't get something this summer
Yeah, that goes a lot farther than mindless grinding
I'd say when you're starting out, make sure you're able to make executable and 100% test-passing code
have u taken DS & A?
Thank you btw I looked at your page and YouTube! Imma keep using those!
Yes I have I took ds and I'm taking algorithms rn
ooh good
But once you're confident in that ability, it's safe to say you can focus on the fundamentals and general approaches to problems so that if you see an unfamiliar question, you can still find an approach to it
I enjoyed data structures, we did it with Cpp and rn algorithms we are doing it with C
I'd say stick to one langauge you're best at
python is just simpler because it's an easy to understand language with no outside concerns (i.e. memory management)
id say python and java are probably the best to use for interviews, but whatever is most comfortable for you
python is also a lot more readable, not all interviewers will be 100% with the language you choose to use but i think python is always a human-friendly language to use
or American?
Mmm i should start reading this python book I had then. And yeah I can see that, I think I'll make the switch then and still do some cpp on the side
Hmm wasn't born here but have lived here for some years
honestly books aint shit when learning
just do some lc easies with python and youll pick it up fast
https://cs170.org/ Go through this course (Up until dynamic programing)
read the notes n shit
Oooh I'll give both of those websites a chance.
🤣 Yeah I'm surprise is free, it looks like it took a lot of time
+1 for using python lol most of my friends who used Java or cpp ended up switching anyways
