tranquil pebble
For people who took both Asana's and Databricks' codesignal OA, which one did you think was easier? I have invitations for both.
I believe I only have to take it once and will need to share the same score with the other company as well? I'm thinking of taking the one that would be easier, even if just a bit. 🙂
severe oasis
I don't think it matters which one. Code signals chooses 4 questions of random difficulty and gives it to you. Company doesn't matter I believe
Since it's one score for all companies it's best to keep stuff consistent across all the companies
fallen iris
^ you can retake after 14 days so i'd take the one you got the code signal OA for first and redo if you want to later for the other one
tranquil pebble
Thanks.
I received both of them on alternate days... one is to be done in the next 3 days, and the other other one in the next 10 days. So, I probably have just one shot at it.

Ah right. So it's pretty random.
When you guys say proctored, do you mean a human was watching over you from the other side? Or do you mean your microphone and camera were being monitored?

return offers are up in the air right now
@eager glacier 😦 same for my internship... i find out oct. whether i got a return offer
hoary pewter
so I think it happens everywhere
my intern project switched 1 month in, and I was just expected to work overtime to finish it for example
just life
wind acorn
honestly if i got a return would accept in a heartbeat since i love the company and team i'd be joining but covid 😦
tawdry herald
im from seattle so im mega biased, but it is a very nice place to live
@hoary pewter
What’re the pros beside no income tax? Heard Seattle is pretty wet and it’s hard to make friends outside of tech lol
hoary pewter
ya, so Seattle is more cloudy than wet
wind acorn
Interns were pretty shielded from the overtime, but yeah, multiple points during my internship my mentor was pushing code at like 3-5 AM. He/she looked tired all the time.
@eager glacier also this is what i saw at my summer internship as well... was this @ uber?
hoary pewter
we have mild winters, but great winter activities
arctic drift
Seattle looks really nice
hoary pewter
like we have some of the best mountains in the world surrounding us
hoary pewter
Mt Rainier, Whistler, Mt Hood, etc
ya, in the Summer, the hiking is some of the best in the world
I go swimming at waterfalls every summer
in the mountains
we have a rainforest near by
thats not something most people can go visit
the city itself has a lot to offer
cool heritage
hoary pewter
lol maybe thats where he got the idea
arctic drift
deadass seattle is honestly such a nice place
hoary pewter
but I was talking of the olympic hoh national rainforest
runic kraken
I heard the weather in Seattle is depressing
hoary pewter
so I used to be very into growing plant, and I had some EC meters, these use electroconductivity of water to tell you the parts per million of dissolved solids in water

Tbh I like the sun ngl
hoary pewter
when I lived in LA, I would see 400-500PPM

LA sucks
hoary pewter
in Seattle, sometimes it wouldnt even register
meaning <10PPM
that was my tap water
tawdry herald
Ooh nice
hoary pewter
Seattle is just a clean place to live, its nice, well when its not smokey as fuck
tawdry herald
Yeah heard the PNW is super nice for nature and stuff
hoary pewter
look like Bladerunner outside right now
this is my zen spot
it sits just above this waterfall, where I love to go swimming
about 40 minutes from Seattle
you can jump off the rock into the water
about a 10 foot drop, its fun

warm stone
IBM pay is very low
wind acorn
IBM pay is very low
@warm stone i heard from other interns who got FT offers that it isn't so bad for some areas ($88k in Raleigh, NC). then again, b.s. corporate politics and def. not a good place to start out imo

yeah, about 110k totally in bay area..

old SAT tho
rigid elbow
Remember ACT exists too
patent cloak
Let’s be real: codesignal is 70% luck. And not to flex but that’s coming from me with an 847. I legit got 3 easies and a medium. I just got stupid lucky. I’ve seen the questions that my friends got that I wouldn’t even be able to solve. Some people get a hard or two. Don’t be discouraged if you get a bad codesignal score, there’s no correlation between that and anything else
flint halo
variance on the SAT is pretty high too
I mean idk bc I took old SAT but
it was kinda ez to game lol

Isn't PIP basically a death sentence to get out from?

@tired bay yea that one

you get severance for like 3 months or something if you're part of the 6%
or 6 weeks

tired bay
Yeah that one was tedious and long
safe veldt
that doesn't sound too bad, the 3 months
last linden
too much extra crap you had to do for a question that wasn't even worth that much compared to the last one
safe veldt
I guess if you do get on PIP, time to find another job
arctic drift
the 3rd question is still worth doing just because 840
I doubt companies look at score
and they're like "800 > 760 therefore better"
last linden
yea i'd rather do the 4th one than the 3rd one first
arctic drift
Like one number is better for implementation other is for solving algorithms

the last question tends to be fun imo

and it's whatever company wants

They're selling the us operations
Lotta business nuances but the point still there haha
hoary pewter
It was unclear whether TikTok’s choice of Oracle as a technology partner would mean that Oracle would also take a majority ownership stake of the social media app, the people involved in the negotiations said.
so is tiktok not neccessarily selling?
maybe just partnering?
vapid river
Yall getting caught up in semantics. In the end, Oracle is gon be in charge of Tik tok in US. What would be the pt of trumps order if oracle is partnering with china
hoary pewter
that's the question at hand
everyone had heard it needed to be sold
so why is it "unclear whether tiktok's choice of oracle as a partner would mean that oracle would also take a majority ownership stake"
wouldnt they be taking ownership of the US TikTok?
maybe someone else financed it, but wants Oracle as a partner or something
I guess we will just have to wait and see

I got one LC question and thats it
@astral garnet Did you have to use C++ for the phone screen or any programming language is fine?

how should i use an existing offer to get interviews?
just reach out to recruiters on linkedin with a dm?

Probably your best bet ¯_(ツ)_/¯ existing offers don’t seem to get interviews so much as help you along interviews imo

Is Bloomberg Phone just 2 LC med?
low verge
mine was a single LC question lol

@loud anchor yeah ~ it can help close out offers too I think (in making them work faster) ~ I just finished an internship final round once last year, then when my recruiter said to give them 2 weeks to make a decision I said that I got an offer from X just then and the company gave me the offer the next day
loud anchor
i see thanks
i was thinking of messaging some recruiters on linkedin but i don't have premium
and the free trial only gives you three messages
idk if there's a better way
hoary pewter
recruiters have asked me about offer deadlines so they can get an offer out in time
and if youve got one, you should probably tell them if you think they might not get you an offer or interview in time

@radiant shore I'm pretty solid at writing unit tests though I've always had a testing framework and test runner, do you know if they are ok with me setting up a testing environment ahead of time? Or how do they expect the tests to be written?
I chose Javascript as my language
radiant shore
its abt how u think of the test case
not the frameworks
so using something simple like
assert fn(a, b) == 2
is fine
i used jupyter notebook
stable plume
Ah yeah ideally I'd have running tests so I can make sure they actually work
I'll look into how to write JS tests without frameworks to make the asserting easier
