Thank you I will take a stab at it, I want to get to the point like Darude where I just discover the relation and base cases and then crank it out lol

my affirm OA has literal errors in the given code making it impossible to run any tests? xD

#

LMAO what a joke, the code straight up is unable to run in python because of their provided main function, works in Java but the only option for q2 is python pog

Google isn’t hiring as far as I know

#

They wanna fill their interns first

#

And even then not all interns are getting in 😦

manic ice Sep 16, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

quick question, when people call the process bot and say like "companyname OA" do we say that if we finished the oa or just got the oa?

what do people think is the optimal number of leetcode to do before u start seeing diminishing returns?

hoary pewter Sep 16, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

if im prepping for an interview, ill do at least 4 hours a day

latent cipher Sep 16, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

honestly idk bc im not even close

hoary pewter Sep 16, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

i prepped for microsoft last year for about 2 weeks and did their top 30 problems

rocky spoke Sep 16, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

what is that in number of questions?

#

100?

#

200?

hoary pewter Sep 16, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

it was like 30 leetcode mediums over like 10 days of around 4 hours per day

#

since I wasnt doing much on the weekends

#

otherwise, if im not prepping I try to just do at least 1 problem per day

sharp flame Sep 16, 2020, 10:02 PM

Any of you guys do the amazon new grad onsite for 2021 SDE?

#

The 3 round version

rocky spoke Sep 16, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

ok

#

so in total how many questions do u think is needed to get comfortably good?

#

im asking because i had a debate with my friend last night about this and she said she only did 1 but i think it's confirmation bias

nova gyro Sep 16, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

why mock interviews instead of leetcode?

rocky spoke Sep 16, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

whats wym?

worthy spear Sep 16, 2020, 10:10 PM

#

i think mock just forces you to actually go through the process

#

that being said i never do them tbh. too much effort

normal tide Sep 16, 2020, 10:12 PM

whats wym?
@rocky spoke what you mean

@sharp flame I have mine next week u have one as well?

rocky spoke Sep 16, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

i mean number of questions

#

im just sick of youtubers telling people that you don't need to do any leetcode to pass interviews

nova gyro Sep 16, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

uhh that's too much of a blanket statement

rocky spoke Sep 16, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

right, but some form of practice is still important, regardless

#

agreed

#

what offers have u gotten justin

#

right

#

i was just going to ask u about the other fng

worthy spear Sep 16, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

right but like thats not super high bar. its gotten a lot harder this year so yeah you gotta leetcode

#

i guess whatever works for u works. i just leetcode and it was good enough

rocky spoke Sep 16, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

so im gonna reframe my question again. given that you failed FMG - if you were to redo the whole interview process with the goal of getting into ALL of FAMG (not just A), how many questions would you grind on leetcode?

#

right

worthy spear Sep 16, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

but that blind list is standarized. people dont usually struggle with knowing the data structures. leetcode for a lil gets your brain thinking on the tricks

rocky spoke Sep 16, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

so u wont do leetcode or will do leetcode?

worthy spear Sep 16, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

like having pointers etc

rocky spoke Sep 16, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

im kinda confused

worthy spear Sep 16, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

youre legit the only person ive ever heard that uses algoexpert

rocky spoke Sep 16, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

let's say u have interview with G scheduled in 2 weeks. How many questions would you do in those 2 weeks?

worthy spear Sep 16, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

i did leetcode for like a week before google

#

justin does have a point that you cant just chug leetcode

#

right before

#

you need a foundation

rocky spoke Sep 16, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

yeah i understand

#

im fully behind fundamentals and not just mindlessly grinding leetcode

#

i 100% agree with u guys on that part

worthy spear Sep 16, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

honestly interview performance doesnt even factor much at google

#

it seems

#

like getting the question right

rocky spoke Sep 16, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

but ive a friend at FB (albeit as a data scientist) who's starting a youtube channel (not gonna out him/her here). but his/her marketing spiel is you need ZERO leetcode /algoexpert/whatever you use to get into FANG

worthy spear Sep 16, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

idk i dont think ive ever gotten a question right. they really care about the thought process.

nova gyro Sep 16, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

you never got a question right?

worthy spear Sep 16, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

like not flawlessly no

nova gyro Sep 16, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

yeah there's different ways to do it

worthy spear Sep 16, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

its so much luck tbh so its hard to make a blanket statement like that. ive gotten into google without leetcode before bc questions were easy. ive also failed a ton of interviews after prepping. saying dont do it at all and pass is just selling snake oil imo

rocky spoke Sep 16, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

^^^

worthy spear Sep 16, 2020, 10:23 PM

yeah exactly. i have friends that literally did no technical

at all

#

and are SWE at fb

rocky spoke Sep 16, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

100% agree

#

and these people now telling others on youtube that u dont need any prep to get in

worthy spear Sep 16, 2020, 10:24 PM

it's been a week now since karat for me

#

how did u do on karat ?

#

2 algo questions?

#

or does that include the system design stuff?

#

oh damn

#

u didnt get any system design at all?!

#

lucky man

#

like "you're gonna design a banking system. Are you gonna use x y or z"

worthy spear Sep 16, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

bruh i had a whole ass design question damn

rocky spoke Sep 16, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

Nah you would know

#

I had 2 multi part system design questions + 1 algo and time for another

#

But i had never done system design at all. literally glanced through grokking the system design the night before

#

no idea...

#

the algo question was easy but i got the time complexity wrong

@astral garnet do you remember how long it took for you to hear back from HRT phone

hoary pewter Sep 16, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

I think sometimes leetcode gets confused as a place to learn the skills needed to pass a technical interview. When really it is just a place to practice those skills, hopefully in a way that is closest to the ones youll need in your real interview

#

ie: doing the company's top questions

#

of course you don't need leetcode to get FAANG it is supposed to just be a tool to make your life easier when trying to do so

In codesignal, if the q3's solution is not passing all test cases and the fourth is still left, is it better score-wise to keep working on 3 or attempt q4 and risk submitting that incomplete as well?

#

We should just start doing cp for fun lmao

unkempt echo Sep 17, 2020, 12:45 AM

i would go for q4

the q3 edge cases are really random, i did q1 2 and 4 and didn't get all the test cases of q3 for a score of 828

#

which is enough for most recruiters

is it really worth strategizing on code signal

Does anyone know what happens if you DONT finish the Amazon OAs? I haven’t gotten rejected, but I never finished them lol. I did part 1 but my family got sick with covid and I had too much on my plate for the rest.

Is anyone here familiar with CodeSignal?

tired bay Sep 17, 2020, 4:40 AM

#

Lol what about it

vernal crystal Sep 17, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

I have requests from three companies. And when I select the first companies' link and choose take test I get asked to share/reject with the other two companies before taking the test.

#

Does reject mean that I'm rejecting the companies' request entirely? Or can i retake it for the other two companies?

tired bay Sep 17, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

It’s all on 1 test unfortunately cause it’s 14 day freeze after each test not each company which is kinda dumb

vernal crystal Sep 17, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

You may retake the assessment on CodeSignal once 30 days have passed, or within 14 days of your last test session provided that you receive a new invitation from another company.

#

within 14 days if I have a new invitation?

It just means you don’t wanna send score

Cause I literally got the third companies' invite yesterday

tired bay Sep 17, 2020, 4:45 AM

So if u have 14 days before that third company is done then yeah u can take twice

vernal crystal Sep 17, 2020, 4:45 AM

#

Besides, I don't want some bad luck RNG to screw me over for 3 companies

#

Alright. I don't but I can check with them for an extension

tired bay Sep 17, 2020, 4:45 AM

Or ask for extensions that’s kind of only way

#

They should change that rule tbh so dumb

@digital carbon Hmm. Makes sense.

#

Is that a consequence of cancelled interviews from covid or a lack of hiring?

digital carbon Sep 17, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

Low headcount probably :(

#

I think companies want to fill as many new grad spots as possiblr with return offers

#

And the low headcount is also probably because of covid

#

Lots of companies went on hard hiring freezes earlier in the year, and it might take them a while to recover from that

not even all converts have spots

officially they are "slowing down hiring". from talking to conversion recruiter they're obviously converting people first

#

but not even all PAs have spots. so by the time all interns get converted idk if there will be any for new grads

kinda like FB basically

but obviously situation is developing so it could change from now until end of year. thats general scoop last time i checked

pretty sure the ones that dont record are like when things bug out on codesignal's end. I've take 3 codesignals so far, all recorded

Just video chatted with an Android engineer from Dropbox who said she heard they’re waiting until early/mid Spring to set up headcount for New Grad positions. Pretty late in the season, but gives me some hope lol
@near finch my hope has been restored

wind acorn Sep 17, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

bruh spring?

cerulean mist Sep 17, 2020, 9:57 PM

is this for a start date of 2022? o.o

cerulean mist Sep 17, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

oof

#

everyone who they want is going to have accepted an offer already
@worthy spear nice

near finch Sep 17, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

@worthy spear Idk, but headcount seems low at most companies right now. So when you think about it, it isn’t crazy to wait to see what a new fiscal quarter brings in and then decide whether or not to hire new grads

fleet niche Sep 17, 2020, 10:11 PM

Hopefully more companies hire in spring :))

#

#

i was going through a few appraoches in my head

languid plaza Sep 17, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

@wind acorn how do you find any recruiter emails at all?

cursive loom Sep 17, 2020, 10:17 PM

but i feel like i didnt explain myself right

#

it was correct tho

raw pollen Sep 17, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

was it the first phone?

cursive loom Sep 17, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

and he agreed with my approach so maybe theres hope

#

yeah

raw pollen Sep 17, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

was it like designing data structure?

#

or just leetcode stuff?

cursive loom Sep 17, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

leetcode thing

#

but i was going with a different appraoch

#

and it wasnt really working

raw pollen Sep 17, 2020, 10:18 PM

I finished 2 and gonna schedule onsite

idk @sinful meadow i applied to a senior swe role at netflix and HAVENT been rejected yet sooooo 😎

#

pretty much an offer imo

coral coral Sep 17, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

Theyre probably drafting your offer letter as we speak

languid plaza Sep 17, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

They are convincing reed to retire to appoint jordan as the new ceo

#

hence the delay

hoary pewter Sep 17, 2020, 10:57 PM

tbh if netflix offered me a senior position as a new grad, i'd turn it down

#

that would be the most embarrassing week of my life

if I took it

I did a campus one so idk if it’s the same as the others

It might also include relocation

My algo was nlogn my memory use was n

#

I think it could have been improved with streaming

there must be a bunch of q3s for roblox

mine was n^3 when it can be optimized to n^2 log n

arctic drift Sep 18, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

anyone know anything about Jane Street TDO?
@whole plover I got the same thing and basically told them that I wasn't interested in anything non-SWE

#

It's about 100-120k comp? which like is fine or wtv but you're not going to get any SWE dev experience

#

like imo better worst case to get some like eh job that pays 70k then transfer to a better company as an SWE than being TDO and getting no experience

patent cloak Sep 18, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

TDO sounds like a great way to pigeonhole your career (correct me if I’m wrong)

arctic drift Sep 18, 2020, 12:21 AM

whole plover Sep 18, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

yeah think im gonna tell them only interested in swe

arctic drift Sep 18, 2020, 12:21 AM

They kinda said thanks but didn’t follow up tho lol so they’re realistically not considering you for SWE just so you know

whole plover Sep 18, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

yeah i figured

#

it is jane street

arctic drift Sep 18, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

It’s a numbers game

#

One day jane street is gonna ask someone two sum

#

And that kid is gonna be the luckiest kid earning 300k or whatever the fuck their insane tc is

whole plover Sep 18, 2020, 12:22 AM

and then probably choke

O(nlogn) instead of o(n) XD

I wanted to follow-up with you after my previous email about starting the interview process in early September.

Our SWE intern class continues to be a strong source of full-time talent for hiring and this season is no exception. We are not yet able to interview candidates for SWE full-time roles at this time. We can provide an update once we understand our business needs. The timeline for this is not known at this point, but keep in touch with us throughout the fall as we are constantly growing and our needs may change!

Thank you for understanding and good luck in your job search!

I have already taken codesignal for RH on 30/08, I just received codesignal OA for eBay. Can I just share my previous RH score with them or do I need to take it again? I have got decent 833 on my codesignal hence would prefer to share same report.

@mint swan yes if you have the same email otherwise it gives you the option to link it if you're already logged in

mint swan Sep 20, 2020, 6:22 AM

#

Yes, I am using the same email

#

Sharing the previous report should be fine then?

#

Also, if I retake Codesignal and score less than my highest score, will my codesignal score still be the highest one?

wind acorn Sep 20, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

i think the company gets all your scores

mint swan Sep 20, 2020, 6:27 AM

#

Since I have just received OA, sharing score of test taken 20 days before is acceptable?

#

Ok, I missed a line in email If you have already taken the challenge, no need to retake it - just SHARE your results with eBay via the CodeSignal platform.

@mint swan nope, they take your latest score

mint swan Sep 20, 2020, 6:33 AM

@mint swan nope, they take your latest score
@outer lotus Your Coding Score is generated from your best certified test result. This line is written just below my score on codesignal

Have anyone taken amazon oa 2 ?

#

hey guys, how are you getting the codesignal or OA for various companies?

#

Is there some list shared across or do we need to apply to each company individually to get the tests? Would appreciate any advice 🙂

@mystic crow I am using this github repo to track openings https://github.com/Pitt-CSC/NewGrad-2021
Being an international student, I mostly get only automated OAs. You will need to apply to each of them individualy. Let me know if you need any other info.
