honestly you don’t even need to do go to top school IMO

#

I have opportunities at every FAANG besides Netflix and got an offer from a top company by just simply networking

low epoch
#

quant stuff will be the hardest to break through to but other than that, everything is considerably viable

formal finch
#

Top schools just make it a bit easier

#

hmm I seen ppl get into citadel from non target school

low epoch
#

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)

formal finch
#

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

#

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

thick ridge
#

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

obtuse otter
#

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 😔

low epoch
#

No, u need jane street internship to qualify for jane street internship

slim creek
#

i have multiple friends that had faang and got ghosted by all quants

#

and i go to semi target

#

abstract wagon
#

two world finals just to work at fb?

frosty ginkgo
#

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

abstract wagon
#

10-12 and retire early

frosty ginkgo
#

he prolly enjoys cp for the problem solving not for the money

#

wait not even with previous Big N experience? sadge

frosty ginkgo
#

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

warped wind
#

well, just gotta grind CP then

frosty ginkgo
#

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?

Are you really surprised they’re treating employees like shit

#

Lmao

crimson brook
#

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

austere quarry
#

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

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?

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

dark marlin
#

Ahh ok, ill keep trying

#

Really?

#

why is that?

abstract wagon

no clue

I just find that summer has a lot more headcount than offseason

#

@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 🥺

you will be a genius by the time you're mid 20s

its the same for me imao

jelous of the ppl that know fullstack as a hs freshman

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??

everything is remote nowadays so it's easier to attend more than eevere

if you get rejected/waitlisted, you can just DM someone for the slack/discord to participate and nobody will bat an eye

I probably messed up a bit on the mc

Not a fan of the coding platform though

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

This is where doing more CP comes in handy PepeHands

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

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.

#

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

#

How long after signing amazon did you guys have to wait before getting surveys abt hybrid/remote or start date?

craggy shuttle
#

Any amazon discord channel ?

runic tinsel
weak oracle
#

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

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

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

charred roost

I feel like it could be a good thing

#

But idk

soft ocean
#

I've heard both

thick hare
#

I think most companies call to give an offer

#

but I got a call then turned out to be a failure

ashen needle
#

on such short notice i have a good feeling, but who knows

soft ocean
#

but I think more instances of call being good

thick hare
#

yea

soft ocean
#

did they send an email scheduling call

thick hare
#

get that bread 💰

soft ocean
#

thats probably a better indicator

ashen needle
#

yea the recruiter asked me if i was free today

#

and then we set up a time to call

soft ocean
#

did they say anything like

#

about next steps

#

what company if u don't mind me asking

thick hare
#

did they ask additional questions like are you an international student/have visa

ashen needle
#

im gonna not say for now cuz im superstitious

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?

ios dev sucks

#

if an interview is easy then that means its harder b/c everyone else passed too right?

The rate at which Apple is going is insane. Microsoft will become Blackberry

charred roost

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

We can agree to disagree lol

Also rip Homepod, Apple finally discontinued it

(the full size one atleast)

did they?

Yeah I just saw an article saying the full size one is discontinued

interesting yeah Alexa and Google mini are competitive asf

charred roost

Yeah Homepod Mini definitely makes a lot of sense since Google's Nest Mini and the Echo Dot are doing so well

jagged mason
#

If the homepod was the same price

#

id get the homepod but alexa and google minis are so cheap

charred roost
#

Both are $99

jagged mason

free with spotify

But yeah the echo dot is super cheap

I forgot about that lol

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

waxen orchid

  • but do mediums/hards, not 70% easy 30% mediums
gloomy lodge
#

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

waxen orchid
#

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...

rocky tiger
#

i didnt get too many graph problems when recruiting for intern positions tbh

#

like 1 total

gloomy lodge
#

Ah okay and do you guys recommend switching languages? I love cpp but a lot of people recommend python for interviews

abstract wagon
#

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.

gloomy lodge
abstract wagon
#

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

rocky tiger
#

have u taken DS & A?

gloomy lodge
#

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

rocky tiger
#

ooh good

abstract wagon
#

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

gloomy lodge
#

I enjoyed data structures, we did it with Cpp and rn algorithms we are doing it with C

abstract wagon
#

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

waxen orchid
#

Juaanton

#

are you international?

abstract wagon
#

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

waxen orchid
#

or American?

gloomy lodge
#

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

abstract wagon
#

honestly books aint shit when learning

#

just do some lc easies with python and youll pick it up fast

waxen orchid
gloomy lodge
#

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

crimson brook
#

+1 for using python lol most of my friends who used Java or cpp ended up switching anyways
