[limpid lichen]

Thanks

Ive never learnt anything about system design

[heavy hare]

Hello guys, I’ll be graduating in December 2021. When shall I see companies posting for New grad positions for graduates of dec2021?

[dry mural]

iirc you can be technically be apart of the 2022 class

and you had the option to apply with teh 2021 class

[heavy hare]

But I’ll be interning this summer

[dry mural]

oh

then just apply with the 2022 class

jaja

[heavy hare]

So the openings for fall are meant for December graduates as well?

[dry mural]

most companies allow it

i dont know who doesnt tbh

[heavy hare]

Doesn’t Faang companies hire separately

[heavy hare]

I see

Thank You

[chrome sage]

how many questions are needed for intuit karat to move to next round? I solved 2

[paper hinge]

What is the structure of the cockroach labs interview process for new grad

[harsh loom]

yes my friend graduated December 2020 and applied for 2021 new grad roles. they usually don’t care

[heavy hare]

Does this apply to faang as well?

[harsh loom]

idk but probably they have similar recruiting timelines. besides if they're willing to give you an offer im not sure why graduating earlier than they initially thought would be an issue

[heavy hare]

Makes total sense!

Thank you

[finite ruin]

Hi did anyone here do VMware final round back in September? I have a few questions and would really appreciate it if anyone had any info or was willing to let me DM them!

[karmic saddle]

Has anyone recently interviewed with Thumbtack for SWE new grad pos? I have my phone interview in 2 weeks and would love to get some info

[dry walrus]

Mind sharing where did you apply?
I don't find these roles on their careers.

[stark forge]

Anyone interview with Better Mortgage in NYC ?

[digital python]

only seeing people getting OA for now for better.com

[stark forge]

yee i figured but thought i'd ask @digital python

[karmic saddle]

Applied a week ago. I saw it on Linkedin

[dry walrus]

Has anyone completed phone interview for New Grad UI developer at One Trust?

[crimson vector]

Anyone here interviewed for Amazon Security Engineer New Grad role?

[still marsh]

Currently, where are you guys looking for new-grad job postings? I am not finding very less new grad job posting for the past 2, 3 months.

[slim lake]

put a search filter on linkedin for "software engineer new grad" and subscribe to daily updates

[still marsh]

Yes, I do that already. Do you guys/girls also apply for SDE roles that ask for < 2 yrs exp?

[nimble nova]

Is anyone down for mock interviews tomorrow night?

[spring verge]

I do for places without a new grad position. Haven't had much look with it though

[knotty basin]

has anyone here interviewed with intel for new grad positions? i have a referral i can use but don't feel ready leetcode wise

[raw belfry]

I have had a very bad experience with Intel. Applied with and without referral, never got a call or OA of any sort

[atomic pivot]

that's alot of companies

[next lion]

u gotta code a fully working chess game to get in intel

that to using CISC

[empty yarrow]

TIL a lot of companies are Intel

[urban cairn]

^^ Lol yea, that's just the reality of applying to jobs... referrals don't guarantee a response, even if you have incredible prior experience

[jovial hedge]

those ghosts hurt the most imo

[ornate charm]

Does Microsoft always ask system design in final rounds?

[raw belfry]

Is this for new grad?

[grizzled moth]

Has anyone had an interview with Inductive Automation?

for the Technical Analyst role?

[rocky moon]

i had one for the software support engineer

[grizzled moth]

how was that?

I applied to that and they sent me an email saying that I might be a better fit for technical analyst lol

[rocky moon]

it was ok its just a customer support role so no development

they also said youd have to come into office which im not rly down for

but that was last week and i havent heard back so idk

[sacred tide]

Has anyone given the 2nd round of the Tiktok MLE interview? More specifically, is its format the same as the first, and what kinds of ML questions can be asked in Tiktok's MLE interviews ??

[grand tangle]

I had interviewed some time back
The LC was pretty basic
More emphasis was on OS,OOP and networking questions

[feral marten]

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

[limpid lichen]

do companies like Palantir have a reapply deadline?

[woeful dew]

Anyone with some experience on Karat? Need to complete a coding challenge, how's the platform?

[frigid schooner]

Meh karat kinda sucks tbh but is what it is I don’t think it’s too hard just kinda annoying

[frigid schooner]

Hmm I think palantir is like 6mo-1yr, why? I did on-site with them the past two years so definitely not more than a yr

[limpid lichen]

i reapllied for a different role (SWE vs FDSE) after 3 months

and now that i will have onsite im worried they will have a problem with that

[stable plume]

lmao just got a rejection email from Facebook during my work day as a Google SWE

They took a crazy amount of time to respond back for grads

[frigid schooner]

Gotcha — what happened in the first application? They should have you on file, so they wouldn’t have invited you for onsite unless they wanted to — they already had access to your previous application and still chose to bring you onsite so don’t worry

Also my NOK options are dying lmfao

[worthy spear]

codility fucked me over. didnt register one of my submissions rip

anyone know what i can do? there is no recruiter contract

[long drum]

I solved just one and told the approach for the second one. I am having my final round on this friday. Good luck u wil get call soon

[full shore]

Almost like you boomers fell for some bots pumping a stock

[dry walrus]

Has completed HRT Phone interview?

[cyan juniper]

Did anyone give Bloomberg Senior software engineer phone interview recently? Would like to know the experience

[fossil crown]

yes for algo engineer

[karmic jay]

quick question for grads, when is the earliest that you should apply to places

i graduate in 2022 of may, are jobs applications open in August at the earliest?

[fresh bison]

Anyone recently take Palantir Hiring Manager Round?

[frigid schooner]

“Boomer” LMFAOOO

[frigid schooner]

Yes most of them will come out earliest in august, few places are before then

[limpid lichen]

Im looking for someone who did sys design with Bloomberg for new grad.
Anyone here? Im need some tips on how to prepare for that.

[digital carbon]

bro

Lol

Were you opening like half a dozen ssh shells

Cuz that was me until I also discovered tmux

Honestly

I still see some senior engineers do it

If it works it works 🤷‍♂️

[normal tide]

They have one in Detroit

[ember berry]

Is the amazon new grad process proctored?

[worthy spear]

No. They have the cam on initially for you to take a picture of your ID, but otherwise no. They say they record some browser activity during the session too, but no cam/mic.

[ember berry]

okay, so I can check out language documentation etc

[atomic pivot]

Not being allowed to look up documentation is one of the weirdest restrictions ever

[cursive oasis]

u r always allowed to look up documentation

if u use a dif computer

lol

dat is tru

this will be the future soon

ahlie lol

bro i can tell

u use rust

hahahahah jk lol

idek wat dat is

mmm

is it kinda like Go

oh ok tru yea they sound similar

lol

yes i will be fine right here with my python

[digital carbon]

My team has been eyeing rust but it would take our company like 5 years to adopt it 💀

Our code is like 90% C++ lol

Very interesting!

But then you're not guaranteed memory safety when you call into C/C++ code right?

Just to clarify

Right

That makes sense

Yea I've heard great things about cargo

[mystic mica]

rust sounds scary af

[digital carbon]

C++ package management...

[mystic mica]

i hear writing a memory safe linked list in it is like

some nightmare fuel

[digital carbon]

Yea but

It's memory safe

Like your linked list will literally never seg fault

[last linden]

wow haha i have cancer

[mystic mica]

holy fuck

[digital carbon]

Yea that looks like a mess lmfaooo

Pattern matching

[mystic mica]

class Solution {
    public boolean isSameTree(TreeNode p, TreeNode q) {
        if (p == null && q == null) return true;
        if (p == null || q == null || p.val != q.val) return false;
        return isSameTree(p.left, q.left) && isSameTree(p.right, q.right);
    }
}

take it or leave it

[worthy spear]

The entire concept of OA, or "Let's give the candidate a question they can just look up and re-factor" is screwed imo

[digital carbon]

Well there has to be a first filter, and OAs seem to get the job done

[worthy spear]

Exactly! I've had a bit of work ex, and OA's and the interview process is absolutely f-ed up

[worthy spear]

"seem to"

[digital carbon]

Not saying it's perfect but giving everyone a phone screen doesn't scale

[worthy spear]

A take home with the interviewing company focusing on "Hey, are you writing scalable and maintainable code", scales. Very well

[digital carbon]

Not all companies with tough OAs even care that you have the optimal solution, like roblox had a super tough OA but people got the onsite with less than perfect scores

[mystic mica]

can confirm lmao

100% on roblox and they shaft me

843 codesignal and robinhood/databricks shaft me

like ok, just tell me that you want a 4x prior faang intern

[worthy spear]

Can you write good code != doing well on any OA (codility, hackerrank, idgaf). That's all I'm getting ayt

*at

[mystic mica]

so i don't waste my time

[digital carbon]

Yea that's def fair

[worthy spear]

Especially when your job won't be anything like it lo

[digital carbon]

I guess companies care more if you can actually solve problems

Code hygiene is teachable

[light flame]

Anybody went through intuit final recently?

[mystic mica]

"c++ faster than 100% easy to understand solution" -> shit tier code quality, no spacing, zero explanation, dumbfuck single letter variable names

the absolute state of leetcode discussion these days

[digital carbon]

😂

[last linden]

take a shot every time a leetcode discuss thread title includes any of the following: elegant, short, simple, easy,

[mystic mica]

ngl I would absolutely judge a candidate for syntax quality

if they declare a for loop like for(inti=0;i<n;i++)

sorry ur not passing

no matter how sick your solution is

i'm not even joking

[worthy spear]

Ah no. I meant, I have written a lot in both Python and JS. And i get kinda confused at times when doing string manipuation

[last linden]

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
``` would oyu pass me 🥺

[worthy spear]

and he said I'm cool with you writing what you want your function to do, and I'll understand if you don't have it down to the exact right argument

[mystic mica]

w-wow that's some nice looking code 😳

👉 👈

[last linden]

stop looking at me like that

[worthy spear]

Exactly!

boomers these days

Some interviewers genuinely suck. I had one in the interviews I was just talking about who was listening to music on his airpods throughout (I could tell because everytime I said something, he had to take them out to talk to me)

[worthy spear]

When an interviewer from Google does this, makes me lose hope that's all.

The entire "Let's write code for finding a recursive implementation to find averages in an n-ary tree" kind of an interview process really really is sad tho

LC is not the end of the world, and it absolutely does not help

[last linden]

how can company that works with cute crab be so toxic

[worthy spear]

LOOL

"politely"

mans were down bad

to even agree to that u have to be down horrendously

[mystic mica]

games written in rust

[ember berry]

anyone ever been in 2 applications in parallel with Amazon and what are the options since I can’t continue with both

[fleet turret]

for expedia, we allowed to interview in C++ or do we have to use Java for the onsite?

[woven quartz]

shit i was thinking of applying to them

if their process is that bad then smh

[rocky nacelle]

hi. i took amazon oa1 7/7 and oa2 2/2 what kind of questions can i expect in oa3
and how to prep for oa3
And what are my chances of final interview assuming that i did ok on oa3

Also did anyone got scheduled with an final interview within these two weeks

[ember berry]

what were the Oa1 and oa2 like

anything out of the ordinary

[grizzled moth]

Has anyone ever heard back from HCL? They have tons of positions but idk if they are even reaching back out to people

[sturdy mulch]

Anyone have a good or bad experience with Benchling, super interesting company?

[chrome sage]

Anyone interviewed with Citrix for SE-1 position?

[fresh cloud]

Do they currently have new grad positions? All I've heard is that they ghost for months

[sturdy mulch]

I don’t think there are any new grad positions right now but that did have some. Was thinking about applying anyways.

[woeful dew]

Anyone here who gave the OA for Akuna Capital Quants Developer role?

[worthy spear]

yea, whats up with rust and crypto startups

ooo

huh

when I applied for Mozilla, they had me doing coding challenges in Rust

[native saffron]

Yeah

[worthy spear]

yea, it was a rust internship role for summer 2020

yes, rust is bae

yea, all the lc questions with linked data structures, i just revert back to python xd

jesus

yea, i still dont know how to use them lmao

i just use Vec all day 😂

ye

yea

rip

nah

it ended up with just me vs the other guy

and they chose the other guy

😦

ayy

I had an interview where the interviewer was telling me checking something is in a set is not O(1)

and the correct answer is to use a hashmap instead

yea

I got a little heated because we were going back and forth saying it is and it isnt

and he wasnt telling me why it wasnt O(1)

[unkempt echo]

a set or an unordered set?

[worthy spear]

doesnt matter

i just said a set

[unkempt echo]

well if you're checking for like the existence of an element then it does matter lol

this is cpp tho

[worthy spear]

the correct answer was to just use a hashmap that maps id -> null

which is pretty much a set

granted, this was a fpga intern position

so understandable that they care about low level stuff

[unkempt echo]

its amortized tho

thats not O(1)

although this is true

[worthy spear]

I think the main point here is the interviewer accepted a hashmap solution, but not a set solution

[unkempt echo]

but not in lower level interviews

[worthy spear]

which are very similar in runtime(?)

[unkempt echo]

maybe your interviewer was thinking about c++ sets, which are implemented with a tree

so log access

[worthy spear]

oo

[unkempt echo]

an unordered_set in c++ would be implemented with a hash table for amortized o(1) access

[worthy spear]

yea, that wouldve worked

[sweet vigil]

Has anyone ever been rejected after the 30 minute Amazon final?

[atomic pivot]

why are you worried about that

just prep and do well

[still marsh]

How do you guys search for ORACLE positions? The site is disorganeized as hell.

[cosmic lion]

Has anyone got interview from SeekOut?

[astral obsidian]

Is there any server for 2021 QA/Testing grad positions?

[vapid river]

Lol so fb and google are just not gonna hire any new grads huh

[stone monolith]

I wonder if they're only hiring back previous interns

[dry walrus]

Did anyone complete HRT Phone interview for Algo Engineer role?
Please Dm me

[wooden tangle]

[worthy spear]

😳

[wooden tangle]

what language?

[keen onyx]

Rust

For new grad?

[wooden tangle]

nah im a bit more experienced. recently graduated, but took time off and worked and stuff

[keen onyx]

Cool. Are they hiring new grads? 😅

[wooden tangle]

no new grad positions on site, just regular software engineer

atleast last time i checked

[unborn swift]

just did amazon New Grad OA2 and the 2nd question didn't pass all test cases due to some run time exception. Got OA3 after that. But is it still possible to get interview after OA3 having not completely solved both OA2 questions? Anyone faced any similar scenarios?

[stark otter]

OA3 is automated

they only take decisions after oa3

[visual lagoon]

lots of people got interview after not perfect OA1/2

but lots of people got rejected after perfect OA1/2

so you should do your best on OA3 no matter what🤞

[sonic cave]

might sound stupid cuz idk anything about this but
would 170k after tax in CA ~= 150k in WA after tax?

[tired bay]

Probs more towards 135-140k range

[sonic cave]

thanks!

[tired bay]

Yeah behavioral and OA2 review is what most get

I mean they think very highly of you but still have to clearly explain your code nothing is free but def an awesome head start above the 3hr people

[remote canopy]

From what I understand no

But the 30 min interview is just a verification interview to make sure you were the one to write your code, ie you understand the algo and discuss potential changes to it

Oh I was talking about amazon canada haha

Np gl

[worthy spear]

anyone with no experience/internship here?

im trying to double dip applying to FT and internships at the same time

[wet rover]

I wonder if Leetcode asks Leetcode for swe's applying to their positions

[tight ibex]

https://www.scaler.com/contest/scaler-hiring-challenge?rcy=1&rce=22603a36ad29

[radiant shore]

I wonder if Leetcode asks Leetcode for swe's applying to their positions
@wet rover they actually do test out future contest qns

Jk

[smoky hornet]

May I know when did you applied and when you got OA

[granite oak]

Anybody know what to expect from DRW technical interview in terms of difficulty? Do they ask c++ trivia?

[copper fractal]

Imagine Leetcode adding a company tag of themselves

and adding every question

[stone monolith]

i n f i n i t e r e c u r s i o n

[keen onyx]

Did anyone hear back from Twitter after OA?

[hallow ether]

nope. and i passed all test cases too

smh twitter recruiting

[vague shard]

How does referral process of amazon generally works? My friend told me he referred me but I have not recieved the confirmation email yet. Did anyone face this issue for new grad role ?

[marble venture]

Hey, I have a twitter phone screen in half an hour

Can someone tell me what to expect?

[olive lily]

I did - got a rejection lmaoooo

[last linden]

passed 1st interview for tiktok ios engineer but they use objective-c

and it looks pretty cancer

[keen onyx]

Did you get this after the OA? And is this for New Grad?

[keen onyx]

Better than 👻

[last linden]

i think i'm going to withdraw my application

[olive lily]

100%

[keen onyx]

Getting 200k for adding a few brackets. I'm fine with that 🤣

[marble venture]

Yes and yes

[unkempt echo]

not sure what ur reading but the job listing says "Seeking 1-2 year s work experience in a related field. C, C++, Java programming a plus.", "$60,000 to $65,000 Annually", and according to glassdoor avg base pay in louisville is $69,729/yr

so compared to avg, pretty good pay for a junior dev with pretty fair prerequisites..

[arctic drift]

stop using your logic

I want 6 figures or nothing

fwiw just because you wouldn't take this doesn't mean somebody else wouldnt

[unkempt echo]

i mean even disregarding the fact that you completely lied about the job app above to try to make it seem bad maybe we should trust glassdoor averages over personal anecdotes

[paper condor]

what's the job market like for scratch in 2021?

want a real lazy job

[wind acorn]

please be sensitive some of us can't even find a job in this market so if it's below what you're looking for then don't apply and let someone else take it. $60k in a low COL area like Louisville is pretty great for someone 1-2 years out of school.

[last linden]

are there companies that don't localize pay i'm tired of being told to eat a dick bc i live in low-cost area

[native saffron]

Anyone got offer from C3.ai recently?

[azure gull]

Some folks in here are just so out of touch man

[crimson shale]

Being upset about a 60k+ offer is pretty embarrassing.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/642041/average-wages-of-us-college-graduates/

Get an ego check, we are extremely privileged in this field. We make more right out of college than most people reach in their life.

No one blames you for trying for better, but don’t put these jobs down.

[azure gull]

You sure about that?

[north reef]

looking down on TC

[azure gull]

In the middle of a pandemic too...

[arctic drift]

even if the avg were like 90k average means there are people above and below

unless the st dev is like 0 lol

check your privilege man

[wind acorn]

honestly bruh FAANG pays pretty low

$1M TC new grad or bust

/s

[worthy spear]

im just trynna get a job

[dry walrus]

Has any one completed HRT Algo Engineer Phone interview lately?
Please DM me. I have mine on Tuesday.

[ember berry]

How long after Amazon OA2, do people usually get the OA3 email?

[tame shoal]

got my OA3 about an hour after finishing OA2

[steep oriole]

I got git stash'ed even before the OA

[ember berry]

do you think the time might matter. I just finished it

[tame shoal]

no idea, im not sure how OAs are assessed

[ember berry]

just got it

[fleet turret]

anyone use Grokking the Object Oriented Design Interview from educative.io? is it good/worth it?

[lunar creek]

their system design path is decent for new grads. don't know about oop.

I am allergic to OOD in general, some of the stuff in OOD is commen sense while other stuff just increase the complexity of code base.

[steep oriole]

Just search it on libgen and you can judge for yourself lol

[slim lake]

Anyone know the deal with akamai? Did well on the OA but it's been radio silence over a week

[worthy cedar]

[chrome sage]

anyone solved amazon oa2 with 2 languages and got a final interview?

[lunar dagger]

Has anyone given a Techincal Interview at Tesla?
This is with the Software Engineering Manager. What should I expect ?
Thanks in advance 🙂

[magic sable]

I'm an international undergrad student applying for OPT. I transferred to another university for one semester. Should I include that in the last page of I-765 form (the SEVIS ID is same)? And if I do, what should the page number, part number and item number be?

[boreal sequoia]

Does anyone know if Google and Dropbox's University Graduate SWE positions are opening this month, March or this year?

[atomic pivot]

There’s only speculation. No one knows for sure

People have been asking that for months

[digital carbon]

People were speculating google would open January and it never happened LOL

So I wouldn't hold my breath

[mystic mica]

There’s kids who have been contacted by recruiters who told them to apply for any role and they would reroute their app to a new grad role but idk lol

[daring bough]

Anyone done Microsoft on-site recently??

[woven quartz]

Apparently they dont have any openings this year for new grads

[ornate charm]

They’re still interviewing

[stark otter]

yeah

[fiery python]

Paypal website shows that it's not currently accepting applications. Are they done hiring?

[stark forge]

just completed better.com OA.. whats the lowest total score percentage yall think they'll give people an interview ?

[spice belfry]

that reminds me, is there a discord like this but for graduated/working folks?

or is it called blind

[past mantle]

What score did u get?

[stark forge]

71% @past mantle

you? @past mantle

[cold olive]

Any insights on the data Engineer - 2021 Amazon interview? If anyone gave an interview recently please share your experience

[woeful dew]

A few people here said it's mostly SQL and data warehousing with some easy dsa

[gritty tiger]

what does impact signify here? it shows regular, low

[stark forge]

No idea lol I got 100% on one and it said low

[cursive oasis]

q1 and q2 are worth 2 points each and q3 is worth 1 point

so jus arbitrary weightings in terms of importance of the Qs

[gritty tiger]

oh ok thanks

[cursive oasis]

no prob

[ocean venture]

they had one back in November that is still being considered AFAIK, my buddy also got an offer from microsoft as a new grad

so afaik they do?

this is what I'm looking to forward most tbh

school/life balance < work/life balance

at least that's how it's felt to me

school consumes your life, work you can put away after 5 (or you at least should be able to)

[main verge]

Anyone have any insight on the One-way video interview for IMC trading?

[steep oriole]

I did that like a month ago. It was mostly behavioral and data structures and algorithm concepts. They emailed me that they're done hiring new grads though.

[main verge]

Ah alright, which location did they say they're done hiring new grads for?

Oh also how many minutes were you given to prepare / answer the questions?

[steep oriole]

They didn't specify the location they were hiring for. I'm pretty sure I would've written down that I'd be open to any location in the US had there been options.

[steep oriole]

The interview was pretty fast paced. Like a minute to prepare for a 2 minute response.

[main verge]

I guess it doesn't hurt to try anyway even though they may have filled the positions? haha
Were the behavioral questions the standard "Why IMC", "Why trading", "What is your strength/weakness" these types of questions? or was it more about talking about your experience?
Also, feel free to tell me you cant answer 🙂

[dapper vale]

It was more the latter if I remember correctly

[steep oriole]

Yep, it's definitely worth doing. And yeah, the latter.

[dapper vale]

Mainly just make sure you're confident and answer them with a smile

[steep oriole]

Put on a phony smile when you explain collision handling of hashmaps 😂

[main verge]

😆 thanks for the answers, fingers crossed

[vocal carbon]

A bit about experience and some technical questions about ds and algos

Also i don't think all locations are full, but there's only 1 main office in us

[woven quartz]

ahhh gotcha, was just goin off of what somebody else had said

Guys,
Is educative.io Worth it?

[sick hazel]

Anyone get an offer from forward?

[sturdy mulch]

idk, been thinking about getting it specifically for the system design portion

[granite pewter]

yes

[slim lake]

Anyone get phone interview for Palo Alto Networks new grad?

Sorry I guess it's not called new grad - Big Data Software Engineer and Cloud Software Engineer

I've been stuck "in review" for 2 weeks

[fresh orbit]

I didn't like their OOD class a lot. I think the systems design class is their primary class though.

[ebon belfry]

anyone do amazon's new grad background check? would like to know what they check

[stone monolith]

employment verification, education verification, criminal background check probably

[fleet turret]

anyone got updates from bettter.com?

[ebon belfry]

Did u actually do it or just guessing? Some are saying that there is no employment verification

[olive lily]

So, back when i did it they had a third party email me about the check, they wanted to know my house history, citizenship/visa status and shit - I think there was a criminal check as well - not sure if there was a formal education check - I did sent them my transcript/proof of enrollment at some point I think - none of my references got any calls as far as I know - this was for intern in Canada though

[stone monolith]

Pretty standard employment verification for US companies

The only people that don't verify employment are grocery stores and restaurants lmao

no one calls your references, they just call your employer and verify your employment

[ebon belfry]

yeah well i remember seeing someone at Google that said they didnt have employment verification

in the CSCH channel

[stone monolith]

That's wild. You could probably ask r/cscq

or @amazon people

but yeah i've had 7 years of employment history dug up in background checks for all employers i've had

[steep oriole]

I'm also waiting for an update from better.com since that OA

[native saffron]

Got this mail last week

Probably they will send out response this week

[chrome sage]

Will they also check if you applied with a different account?

[olive lily]

Honestly, unless you have a criminal history or bs'd on ur resume - i wouldn't stress too much about the background check

[west skiff]

yes

[olive lily]

So, most companies ask for a transcript and/or proof of enrollment to make sure you are still in school
But, "imagine you think you are going to graduate this semester... but wait u actually met the graduation requirements and graduated a semester early..." - it's bit harder for companies to track when you graduate - cause it can change for most people

[west skiff]

a lot of companies and background check companies will use this https://www.studentclearinghouse.org/colleges/degreeverify/

[fleet turret]

are design rounds usually oop or system?

[stone monolith]

Probably not lol

[fiery python]

Gonna be OOP for entry level

[fleet turret]

do we need to know design patterns for interviews?

[tame shoal]

for anyone who has done it, how was the amazon 3hr final interview?

[fiery python]

Good to know but not necessary

[worthy spear]

Has anyone interviewed with amazon for quality assurance engineer?

[mental oak]

anyone know how to view the stats from the bot?

[ember berry]

whats the level of difficulty for amazon ng interviews? the one with 3 rounds

or is it rng

[mental oak]

depending on how you did with the OA

i assume you are doing SDE new grad?

[ember berry]

I got 3 rounds so asking for that

yes

[mental oak]

so after the OA, ive been reading different stories

one 45 minute or 3 45 minute

depending how you did on the OA

[ember berry]

yep. I got 3 45 minutes

[mental oak]

so that one is a mix of tech and behavioral

thats what ive been seeing so far from friends, i havent made it that far however.

[ember berry]

OOP design as well?

[tired bay]

I had 3 mediums and like 10 minutes behavioral each round

[ember berry]

how did you do

[tired bay]

Didn’t have any OOP stuff but probs possible got the offer

[mental oak]

im still on the OA parts lol

[ember berry]

congrats. I’m assuming if they are spending time on interviewing me, I still got a decent chance

[ember berry]

gl. I completed it in couple of days

didn’t want to wait lol

[tired bay]

I mean yeah just gotta nail it the 3 hours is fine not that bad

[mental oak]

"its not about the interview, its about surviving the job" - my friend who got recently hired

just keep that in mind lol, but thats just hearsay so idk

[ember berry]

yeah was hoping to get lucky with one round but I’m still glad I got the interview

[mental oak]

good luck

[ember berry]

that’s about anywhere tho

[mental oak]

but its amazon, so big pressure he says lol

[tired bay]

Should auto submit pretty sure should be fine don’t stress

[ember berry]

rather take my chances at the job than getting denied at the door lmao

[mental oak]

same, dont sweat it

[ember berry]

@tired bay what kinda problems did you get

tryna gauge how prepared I am

[tired bay]

Graph and heap stuff

[ember berry]

nice nice

[tired bay]

I would say thing kinda out of the norm that gets asked enough to look at just for Amazon is topological sort but they like their graphs and trees

[ember berry]

Honestly Im best at graphs out of all the topics

know topological sort well

how and what did you prepare

[tired bay]

Just leetcode I was already at peak time in fall when I did Amazon so felt good just brushed up on things

Then had examples ready for behavioral cause it is like 1/3 of every interview can’t be overlooked

[ember berry]

I have been preparing for both so should be in good shape

what platform they use for coding

[tired bay]

It’s internal thing basically Notepad u don’t compile anything

[ember berry]

really?

just the solution like explaining and shit

[tired bay]

Yup gotta explain clearly and they care about complexity and reasoning

[ember berry]

that’s not the worst

gotta brush up on my oop design

and hope for the best

[tired bay]

Yeah sounds like you prepared sure you will done great!

[ember berry]

thanks man

[dapper vale]

ayyyyyy gl i got mine tmrw too

[ornate charm]

Anyone got any tips on Microsoft new grad on-site

[smoky hornet]

May I know when you applied and got OA

[smoky hornet]

May I know when you applied and got OA

[dapper vale]

applied late august, got OA early january

[tame shoal]

i got mine coming up in a few weeks, would love to hear how yours goes. good luck 🙂

[dapper vale]

yeah fsho just dm me! thanks

[ember berry]

I applied around Jan 7 and got the OA on Feb 10

[main verge]

Has anyone heard of a company named Rokt?

[sturdy mulch]

Anyone have experience getting an interview for Amazon Hardware engineer or Amazon robotics?

[tranquil pebble]

Hey guys. There's a question I was hoping to get your ideas on.

Question: you're getting stock prices in a data stream

1. What data structure would you use to report top k throughout the day(every second/minute)
2. At the end of the day.

Any ideas?

[worthy cedar]

heap?

[sturdy mulch]

I would think heap for both.

[tranquil pebble]

Yeah. So my idea was the same, using a heap to sort top k for throughout the day.
And counting sort for every second/minute. I mean I understand traded stocks could run into billions in a minute, but do you think that's a possible answer to reduce the time complexity?

[tranquil pebble]

Pls see my response above.

[sturdy mulch]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59382278/algorithm-for-top-k-stock-in-electronic-exchange

Found that which seems pretty reasonable. Didn't know what an order statistic tree is before that though.

[tranquil pebble]

This sounds interesting. Thanks.

[digital python]

anyone heard back from Better.com

[dapper vale]

Also could depend on the range of the stock prices, e.g. if the prices tend to get bigger through the day then insertion sort might be on average more efficient

[subtle helm]

I took their OA, have not heard back yet

[mental oak]

is tesla hiring new grads? They list entry level on linked in but ask for 3+ years of experience :/

Been watching for roles, but so far have not seen any

[slim lake]

I see a lot of people asking what the Pure storage OA and interview is like an no one answering

Does anyone know what it's like yet? Lol

Gonna take it now

What's the coding section like? LC?

[unborn swift]

Anyone heard back from akamai after OA?

[slim lake]

nope

[vernal crystal]

anybody here do TuSimple SE role OA? What can I expect?

[digital python]

I got referral and applied but haven't heard since few weeks

[ocean venture]

I haven't seen anything, least not on linkedin

[wheat palm]

Has anyone done the on-demand interview for Akuna Capital Junior Quant Researcher? What kind of questions can I expect?

[tranquil pebble]

Got it. Thanks.

[trim marsh]

Anyone done with pure storage OA?

[final nacelle]

Yes, feel free to dm me

[subtle helm]

did anyone take thumbtack oa?

[native saffron]

Anyone had behaviour rounds with c3.ai recently

[spiral lantern]

Hey everyone, I just got a potential offer with a cali based start-up. Since this is my first offer, I do know what questions to ask the recruiter regarding the offer. Other than salary and equity, anything else that I should be aware of and make sure to ask to the recruiter?

[red gorge]

Since the pitt csc list is barely active anymore, where are you guys looking up new grad postings?

[tired bay]

Relocation

[spiral lantern]

Its a fully distributed team that has been working remotely even before the pandemic. Should I ask for relocation assistance if I do plan on moving to a new town?

[buoyant ruin]

Anyone just get an invitation to a final round at amazon?
I had gotten rejected in November but I guess it was more of a waitlist?

[tired bay]

I mean yeah I would inquire see what they say

[fallen widget]

Congrats! Did you receive one / 3 rounds?

[tired bay]

Yeah they been bringing back past “rejects” in last batch or two

[buoyant ruin]

I'm waiting on the follow up email to learn more, but the wording of the invitation jumped between using "round" & "rounds" so I'm just going to assume the worst case scenario.

[buoyant ruin]

Are they giving meme interviews to past "rejects?"

[wind acorn]

@spiral lantern ^^^^ this. also ask for a signing bonus too

also clarify benefits such as 401k match, healthcare, etc,.

peeps seriously sleep on benefits here i feel

[tired bay]

Lol they legit idk what acceptance rate would be from these but just give it your best shot

[buoyant ruin]

If anyone has any final round tips lemme know. My I did most of my college while in the military so I haven't really gotten to do many interviews.

[buoyant ruin]

rip 3 rounds confirmed

[tired bay]

Leadership principles for behavioral have stories ready try to make them technical

With last minute studying I would optimize doing Graph and Tree stuff so go through DFS, BFS, Topological Sort, Heaps, Tree Traversals maybe through some HashMap stuff if time permitting

[buoyant ruin]

Oh wow thanks for the reminder on the LPs. I had written up multiple stories for each back in october but had totally forgotten about how important they were.

My biggest weakness is being able to quickly apply the general graphing algorithms to specific leetcode problems, so I'll be no-lifing that for the next 2 weeks for sure.

[stark crypt]

wtf is that apple salary damn!!

[stark forge]

took their OA sunday.. havent heard nothing back yet

[ocean venture]

the signing bonus is nuts

[kindred jetty]

The recruiters keep on asking if I have any questions for them but what am I supposed to ask?

I just ask what their day to day is like, or what's their favorite part of their job

Can I ask them questions like: "How do you learn new technologies that are required for the tasks your presented with at work?"

[shadow roost]

Has anyone got the 3 rounds for Twitter's new grad? If yes, please share what should I expect in those rounds?

[lunar creek]

bro, I got an email from Twitter saying they update my status or something in 7 days. it's almost been a month and that thing still shows under review

[zealous tapir]

Did you get Hackerrank Test ?

[lunar creek]

nope

you guys use that smart recruiters portal for twitter and square?

[zealous tapir]

YEah, I got a hackerrank test last month and no updates after that

[ocean venture]

Of course, why shouldn't you? You should obviously weigh how much your recruiter may know about those things, but if it's important to you, it doesn't hurt to ask

[lunar creek]

that portal still shows under review

[zealous tapir]

I applied in 2019 for Summer 2020 Internship, Got rejection email in summer of 2020

[kindred jetty]

Yeah I definitely need to be more inquisitive, I think they expect us to ask questions to learn more about the role, the team, the company

[lunar creek]

they probably thought I will give this guy some space before I hit him with a reject, cuz he has been taking too many hits

[kindred jetty]

so far I haven't been doing that too well, but I'll start now

[ocean venture]

they do, and cracking the coding interview has some terrific examples

let me go see if i can find an example real quick

so you should focus on asking three types of questions: general, insightful, and passion questions

Ex of general question (questions you actually want to know the answers to) :

1. "What is the ratio of testers to developers to program managers? What is the interaction like? How does
project planning happen on the team?"
2. "What brought you to this company? What has been most challenging for you?"```

Insightful Questions
questions to demonstrate your knowledge or understanding of technology

1. "I noticed that you use technology X. How do you handle problem Y?"
2. "Why did the product choose to use the X protocol over the Y protocol? I know it has benefits like A, B,
C, but many companies choose not to use it because of issue o:'

Passion Questions
demonstrate passion for technology

1. 'Tm very interested in scalability, and I'd love to learn more about it. What opportunities are there at this
company to learn about this?"
2. "I'm not familiar with technology X, but it sounds like a very interesting solution. Could you tell me a bit
more about how it works?"```

[mental oak]

thanks

[mental oak]

thaks

[stone monolith]

There is https://www.github.com/viraptor/reverse-interview that I use to ask questions after the interview is over

Never failed me

Just gotta pick the questions that make the most sense for the role that you’re applying for

[woeful dew]

Applied for Twitter Early Career role, got an automatic OA a few minutes later. Any insights?

[buoyant ruin]

Same. Really weird.

[lunar creek]

idk really. at this point I am just assuming it's an L

[dapper vale]

Twitter is literally a black box every year it's wild

Tbh I just don't think they care that much about University recruiting

[tired bay]

But when u meet their recruiters and go to events they give the vibe that they do basically their brand out ways their growth and hiring so impossible for online app to really be anything

[storm crane]

Hi, did you give your verizon media onsite?

[dark bay]

For questions asked to the interviewer at the end, would it be weird to ask for feedback?

[stark forge]

From what company ?

[ocean venture]

Not me, in the grad salary postingb

They had a 70k signing bonus

[formal ivy]

Hi. I have one for this Thursday. Did you already have yours?

[proper anchor]

https://yahooapms.com/

Yahoo APM apps are out

[marsh tree]

Did anyone give the Optiver OA?

[ocean venture]

if i have a longer term goal of project management, you think this would be worth applying to?

i feel like they're one in the same

but i also don't want to hurt my chances of getting into a different FAANG as a software dev if i did that

not sure it necessarily would

hmm im gonna apply. i think management experience in cs would just be great.

[ocean venture]

do you have any familiarity or experience with this program?

[young silo]

Coinbase or Amazon?

[ornate charm]

Coinbase easy

[young silo]

I'd think the same but amazon at least has better job security in terms of they won't be going anywhere for a while @ornate charm

[real walrus]

Very easy question you like 🍌?

[fleet turret]

anyone heard back from better.com

[visual lagoon]

Still have two more days. Gotta chill

[supple raptor]

can't believe the 95k and 85k signing bonuses from fb and apple

that's ridiculous

[fleet turret]

what they say?

[surreal thicket]

Coinbase easy, get paid in btc and retire in a few years

[wet rover]

what mentor program are you doing?

[ocean venture]

crazy

[wet rover]

howd he get into stanford lol

he prolly had smt up his sleeve

if u get into stanford for cs then uv done smt decent in the field of cs or smt out of the ordinary out of cs

[worthy spear]

I got put into new grad amazon's no longer under consideration, is there any way to create a new account and apply again? I tried creating an account once and it got disabled

[digital python]

anyone applied to Twillo?

[west heart]

seeing people get like 150k+ offers from these huge companies when i go to a school not known for CS AT ALL and have ~insignificant~ swe internships is insane to me

[steep oriole]

Has anyone heard from better.com after the OA?

[nimble sundial]

no

looking lk a reject for me

[fleet turret]

does amazon merge emails?

[raw belfry]

Yup

[real walrus]

if its new grad, atlassian

[sturdy mulch]

Not sure why they say I should check out student opportunities when it is a student opportunity. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[smoky hornet]

Yeah , happened for me too

[smoky hornet]

Yeah

[smoky hornet]

But no sure how they would do it. tried 3 times

[subtle helm]

No, though they said they would respond to us this week, so maybe tomorrow or Friday lol

[stark forge]

Nope.. they said they were going to send out emails this week so idk what their doing 🤔

[plucky fog]

just started applying, are facebook or microsoft hiring new grads still?

[sweet jolt]

I am 2020 grad, am I still eligible for new grad roles?

May 2020

[sturdy mulch]

I think with covid there is some leniency. Also there are a couple of companies that I have applied for that have "... graduated within the past 12 month" under the requirements. So I think you are good.

[sweet jolt]

Thanks

[jovial hedge]

Is it a bad thing to actually use the 5 day limit on the Amazon OA's?

I wanna use the time to prep but not sure if I'm waiting too long

[sturdy mulch]

I dont think its a bad thing. There is a range for a reason. They cant expect everyone who applies to just have an open schedule. Just my opinion though

[unborn remnant]

I gave mostly all my OA's on 5th day..got 30 min interview

[jovial hedge]

Thanks guys

[compact dagger]

What did y'all score on better.com OA?

[steep oriole]

100 / 100 / 100 but I'm not expecting to move forward cuz I don't have much experience.

[compact dagger]

Damn niceee, I scored 100/70/100

So ig imma not even hear back

[quiet pulsar]

no new grad postings anymore?

[cerulean pivot]

we automatically relay whatever our source posts, if you have new grad postings that you'd like to share with the server, feel free to ping an admin and we can post it in the channel 🙂

[mental oak]

Anyone done Toyota new grad before?

[iron gate]

has anyone done the discovery inc hirevue before?

[unborn swift]

can you tell me the role for which you are getting OA

[compact dagger]

SWE

[worthy spear]

@jovial hedge it doesnt matter

i actually used the late limit for amazon

for all of my OAs, OA1,OA2,OA3 and even scheduling the interview i used the late limit

so i dont think they care

[woeful dew]

digits

25 and 57

[sturdy mulch]

bruh I just realized lol

[woeful dew]

haha

[sturdy mulch]

This is a practice test btw, not asking for help on a real OA

Thanks lol

[visual lagoon]

Amazon vs Walmart? For new grad

[ocean venture]

if u had a choice amazon all the way

think of what's gonna look better on your resume

i mean one is FAANG and one isn't

not that walmart sucks

but idk if it were me I'd pick amazon

[visual lagoon]

Thanks. Walmart hasn't gave me my final interview result for 3 months, so I was wondering if I even need to bother them to tell I have an offer deadline.

[ocean venture]

good luck!

[icy ember]

Has anyone gotten a position at Amazon Cloud Support Assosciate? Is it worth taking up the offer even though I would rather a more technical position?

[west heart]

i was contacted about it but i didnt rly want a customer support position

[azure gull]

What’s the TC for that position anyway

[subtle helm]

I'm pretty sure it's like 80k

[woeful dew]

How is Karat's video interview like? Anyone here who gave it for Intuit?

[zealous tapir]

I know a friend, who joined AWS as cloud support associate but within a year, he shifted to OCI as SDE. He took that offer since he didn't had any other offers, but kept on looking for SDE roles.

[zenith marten]

Has anyone interviewed for an SWE role at Astranis? I have a recruiter call tomorrow and would like to know what to expect

[placid marlin]

Got an apple interview for SWE, any tips, super nervous...

[dry mural]

depends on location tbh

if you got walmart labs in bay area

i know a lot of ppl end up going to places like ebay/paypal

[ornate charm]

Does Microsoft ask what groups you’d be interested in joining/do they want you to have something in mind?

I’m not sure what to prep for my final round regarding that

[placid marlin]

not rly but theyll llook at ur resume to determine which team u fit best

[placid marlin]

ur interviewers will likely be all from the same team

[hallow wyvern]

has anyone taken a byteboard interview before? and can talk about what its like

[mystic mica]

part 1 is reading a google docs thing, they give some scenarios and u have to write comments and pick which solution best fits the scenario, there's no correct answer it's a tradeoff kind of thing

part 2 is they give you the skeleton class and methods for the scenario in part 1 and you have to implement it

[hallow wyvern]

thanks! so it seems like i should be able to explain tradeoffs and situations where x solution may be better but y solution can work

[mystic mica]

yeah

but i've only ever done a byteboard for one company

so idk if it may differ for other companies

[hallow wyvern]

i see, if you dont mind me asking, how would you think the best way to prepare would be?

[ornate charm]

I see. What team did u interview for?

[smoky hornet]

Hey guys, can I apply to 2022 new grad positions if I graduate in March 2021

[dry walrus]

Has anyone interviewed with OneTrust lately?
Please DM me

[visual lagoon]

Depends on the companies. They will list their requirements as well as what they mean by "new grad" (ex. currently enrolled + graduated in last 6/12 months etc)

[mystic mica]

Don’t think there is a way to prepare lol

It’s not leetcode

It’s open ended

[smoky hornet]

Ok cool , thanks

Hey guys any one graduated in March/May 2020 and applied to Amazon ? Did their application processed further

[brave ore]

Has anyone interviewed with the intelligent creation labs of Bytedance? (New grad)

[worthy spear]

Hello everyone!!! Can anyone answer my question? I appeared for the Phone Screen Interview for the Google new grad role. The interview started by asking a question. Like always, I suggested a brute force approach and then moved on to an optimized solution after some discussion with the interviewer. He said he liked it and is okay with the approach and asked me to code. But I couldn't complete writing the code completely.
Will I be rejected or will I be given another chance and schedule a second phone interview?

[cursive oasis]

^discuss brute force then discuss optimal then write optimal

[vague oyster]

Hey, has anyone interviewed with Adobe for the position of full stack engineer?

[stable raptor]

Can anybody share recent Microsoft interview experience ? Specially people who got call through WIT

[stable raptor]

If your communication skill and solution approach was good , most probably you'll go to the next round . How many problems were you asked ? Generally there's 2 problems .

[stark otter]

anyone who has given Microsoft virtual onsite? need some pointers

[lone void]

Hello, anyone here who got invite for amazon team specific final 3 hour round interviews for the new grad position? how long did they take to schedule the interview after the invite?

[chrome sage]

It'll start with OA discussion. Later, they'll ask coding questions one after the other. (Expect LC medium - hard). Don't worry about the optimization. Just make sure you are able to code 2 problems completely. I guess that's what Intuit looks for

[chrome sage]

Which position you applied to? Is it new grad?

[stark forge]

So did Better.com just ghost everyone 👀

[chrome sage]

Has anyone interviewed with HBO recently?

[spice belfry]

for what purpose?^

[digital carbon]

If you have the choice between the two, I'd personally consider the more established one (gtech's omscs)

It's just more likely to be thoroughly fleshed out

And it's a bigger program, so more networking opportunities if that matters to you

Oh yea omscs is rigorous from what I've heard

I think they have decently high attrition

They give lots of people a chance, but you still have to put in the work

Not sure I follow, which one are you saying is "bigger"?

Oh you just mean about getting a masters

I thought you were comparing the Master's programs of Columbia and GTech in some regard lol

[proven ingot]

Anyone know if JP Morgan is still hiring? Passed the OA a couple weeks ago and submitted locale preferences but haven't heard anything since. I know I'm late in the game with them...

[quiet pulsar]

Is apple giving 70k for sign on bonus for real?

Cant believe newgrad engineer makes 270k for the first year in apple

[patent cloak]

@quiet pulsar he negotiated with a FB offer. It’s not normally that high lol

[quiet pulsar]

Oh I see. I didn't know newgrad TC can be negotiated!

[candid dagger]

Those who need sponsorship and accepted Amazon New Grad offers earlier, did they kick off H-1B process yet? What steps are already done?

[patent cloak]

Yeah it’s really only possible at the large companies and it’s usually only signing/relocation and sometimes stock

[quiet pulsar]

No i just saw it in the new grad salary sharing channel

Im jealous of the apple stock

Considering it will go up over the next few years..

It won't drop though

Yeah

Well I don't see such value on companies like doorsash.. pinterest.. etc

What about TikTok?

It seems to be about to IPO soon

Yeah still seeing a lot of tiktok ads

Well I'm just thinking about investing my money for long-term

[ocean venture]

i think tiktok will definitely explode

[quiet pulsar]

not about working for them

[ocean venture]

not a bad company to invest in now that they have security in the US

before i'd say nah

but now

as long as their stock isn't overpriced

i think tiktok has much less of a chance of suffering what happened to vine at this point, its outreach is even larger imo

every single person i know uses tiktok

it's ridiculous

and they spend HOURS on it

that's the thing, vine you didnt really spend hours on

[quiet pulsar]

Yeah tiktok is too addictive..

[ocean venture]

but tiktok makes it easy af for consumers to just go hard and spend hours watching tiktoks

i had to uninstall it

don't have time for that lol

[quiet pulsar]

I can definitely spend all day to just slide the app

[ocean venture]

yeah i mean i didn't fall too hard

but i could see how i could

i saw my phone use uptick and i was like nope time to uninstall

whatever algorithm they've designed on the for you page is ridiculously good

feels so targeted even if it's just based on likes

which i really doubt it is, i bet they're scraping data

i started getting dog training videos and gym videos

and i was like lmfao

this is exactly what I've been researching for like 3 months

i'm getting a puppy and i just g ot back into the gym

i was amazed at how quickly it just narrowed it down

yeah i'd rather just not use it lol..

my last girlfriend forced me to watch tiktok she was so obsessed with it

spent hours watching tiktoks at night and i'm like yo..I got homework to do and i gotta go to bed and like

work

lol

it fits so nicely into the habit feedback loop which is why I think it's here to stay

MSFT cutting intern salaries 40% bc virtual

[wooden tangle]

damn lmao, fuck em

Gotta love the cucks in the thread telling people to quit complaining as if this will be an isolated incident and that companies won't look for any excuse they can to cut employee salaries and benefits.

[tame raven]

can't tell if they genuinely missed the point of the post or they're just jealous lol

[subtle helm]

I guess they'll respond next week? 🤣

[stark forge]

hopefully lol.. I'm thinking they had more people apply than expected

[digital carbon]

Probably the latter

Also like wtf? What msft did is so fucked up

It doesn't matter if the interns are still making good money or if they're getting "exposure", bait and switch is bait and switch, plain and simple

puts on MSFT, if they're cheaping out on interns then maybe they aren't doing as well as you think?
This guy is onto something lmao

[wooden tangle]

Why is it that smaller companies seem to have unreal expectations of tech applicants? Especially if theyre not tech companies looking to hire tech people.

Like I had a recruiter for a smaller insurance company tell me parts of my resume looked sparse, like wtf? Your company is located in a big expensive city and pays a little above poverty wages for the area starting, who the fuck do you think you are?

[digital carbon]

Companies that don't hire at scale don't understand their competition

I think it's pretty straightforward personally

The fact that they don't bother making an effort to understand their competition is the annoying part

[wooden tangle]

ouch, I recently accepted a position where ill be using rails a lot.....

ive never used it before, but ill become well acquainted really soon......

is Rust really that hard? Its primarily systems based no?

or used for systems rather

swag, where at?

i see i see, nice job

[wet rover]

disney?

[wooden tangle]

Does anyone know the chances that a startup that just finished its Series A will take off? The CEO is a real salesman type and is pretty pushy, realistically tho, very few companies make it to IPO

[wet rover]

rng

[wooden tangle]

lol

how hard is it really to learn a language tho if you've already been coding for awhile.....

rust yea

like, ive had classes where i was expected to write a large programs in languages ive never touched before

before a couple weeks you get the hang of it

i see

when recruiters peep at your linkedin profile

i love premium so much

I also love those apps where you can see if someone opens an email

so fucking useful

I have people from my last job stalking me because I pissed a lot of people off (purposely) before I left. Cant wait to update my linkedin holy shit

lmaoooooo

now you got me interested

wtf

bro

got a link to ur solution? Im curious

or just post it on pastebin or something

thats crazy man

let me know what problem it is at some point when ur free

[digital carbon]

Lmfaoooo 🤣

Sounds like rust

I found out today that a group of ~8 ppl at Bloomberg are working on building internal infrastructure for rust (that we generally take for granted in cpp), kinda excited to see where it goes

LOL

Nowadays I get template errors so frequently

I've just gotten used to it

[mystic mica]

Rust looks like the most scary shit ngl

[digital carbon]

Mm yea

[digital carbon]

If you use the appropriate libraries it doesn't seem that bad. And some pieces (like borrow checking) can't be done any more simply without losing the guarantees of those features

So ig you're trading off ergonomics for stability and performance

[worthy spear]

Hey y'all is it possible to negotiate with a company even though their post has the set salary?

[digital carbon]

You can always ask, doesn't hurt to try

[worthy spear]

Yeahhh I would be satisfied for what they offer because it is a company I love but not sure if it's enough for me to want to move to CO for

[wooden escarp]

Hey guys, I'm gonna graduate in December '21, i'm conflicted if i should start applying for full-time jobs rn or wait

[digital carbon]

You can start

[worthy spear]

70k

[digital carbon]

I mean worst case you don't get anything until the fall right

[wooden escarp]

true

Im tryna find something in Canada instead of US and the pay in Canada is less comparatively

[digital carbon]

More like US salaries are ridiculously high, and salaries in other countries are sane lol

[wooden escarp]

true LOL

[digital carbon]

Is CO cost of living that high? 70k sounds reasonable for a small sh company

Hmm I see

What is a top 2 school lol

Stanford/MIT? Not sure why it matters, job market has been rough for a while

That's not 2...

🤷‍♂️ make use of that school brand name, network with alumni

It'll def be harder without internships, not impossible though

[ocean venture]

Thanks! just applied. graduating march 2021 but that'd be a fun opportunity and could lead to a full time role for sure

[worthy spear]

I was asked only one.

[ornate charm]

Anyone know how Microsoft takes to get back after onsite?

[digital python]

how long does HRT take to reply after the OA?

[slim lake]

Yes. Boulder, definitely.

[subtle helm]

Haha, yeah I imagine that must be what happened. Sigh

[mint swan]

If anyone has info on which companies in Europe are giving interviews to international students and offering VISA sponsorships, let's chat over DM and exchange info.

[steep oriole]

I wouldn't reply if I was a recruiter and strangers did this to me lol

This

You'd look like you want a job no matter what you write to a recruiter. That's not the bad thing. It's important to express yourself where appropriate. The reason why I think this would be brown-nosing is because it's a little strange to hear that from someone I have only talked to once, and it comes across as if you're only doing it to gain an advantage for the job, not because you are actually celebrating my birthday. That's my view.

[stark otter]

[digital carbon]

Be completely honest, do you actually care if it's the recruiter's birthday or not?

Because if you don't, then you already have your answer

[steep oriole]

@mystic mica I feel you

[mystic mica]

I said nothing 🤡

[steep oriole]

Literally 90% of the recruiters I talked to made promises to me like "I'll get back to you in x days" that they never even came close to fulfilling.

[warped lion]

Has anyone gotten to final round at blackrock? I got an invitation to interview last night and am looking to prepare

[steep oriole]

Wow which position is this? I assumed they finished recruiting ages ago and didn't even do they OA.

[warped lion]

this is for swe for the Aladdin group!

[raw belfry]

Anyone gave OA for GS recently

[steep oriole]

Yeah, one leetcode easy and one leetcode medium dp in 2 hours for some "Early Career backend / full stack" position.

[undone abyss]

wait you guys had dp? I think i could have used dp for both but i solved it without dp and still met time constraints maybe different problems?

@steep oriole

[steep oriole]

Maybe we had different questions. DM me!

[wind acorn]

i just want to graduate REEEEEE why are classes so hard

[iron gate]

nah i'd rather stay in school and do leetcode forever 🙃

[stark forge]

same :/ so tired of coding things im not interested in or getting paid for

[amber oxide]

how long did it take for yall to hear back after the OA? i applied recently but i was suprised they aren’t full yet @undone abyss

[steep oriole]

I took the OA a few hours ago. Hopefully they'll reply soon cuz I emailed them that I have an offer deadline of March 10.

[granite flax]

I’m indecisive. I want to hurry it up but also dont wanna graduate during covid online. I hate online and to have my college memories end like that is

[ocean venture]

I'm ready to be done with school tbh

[amber oxide]

oh i see. congrats tho! where’s your offer at?

[steep oriole]

Bloomberg... Tbh I'm still looking for other jobs cuz I feel I'm grossly underqualified despite getting the offer.

[digital carbon]

That's... confusing? Lol usually people continue looking when they're not satisfied with what they got

[steep oriole]

I know, my friends tell me it's just my imposter syndrome going out of control cuz my recruiting season was a disaster until I got the offer. But I'm gonna keep looking anyway lol

[digital carbon]

def fair to keep looking, just know that hiring decisions aren't taken lightly and you definitely deserve the offer if you got it

I've overheard a hiring decision being made once (between the 5-6 interviewers involved in the process for one candidate), and lemme tell you that was not a quick conversation lmao

[steep oriole]

Thanks! And yeah, my recruiter told me the same thing.

[azure gull]

Idc about none of that, run me my diploma, thanks 😂

3 more months left😁😁😁

[undone abyss]

i just took it yesterday night so i think this week post weekend i’ll hear back hopefully 🙏

[mystic mica]

wow they must have really wanted this kid named kumquat

[buoyant ruin]

Anyone got any back-pocket algorithms or techniques they brush up on before interviews besides the usual topo, dfs, merge, etc?

I’m always worried that I’ll freeze up if I get execution tested on something dumb like hashing or reversing a linked list, or or or

[cursive oasis]

honestly theyre usually just pulling out the regular leetcode Qs so u should be good

maybe OOP is good to review

[olive lily]

other than making sure that you understand your data structures, basic algorithms - try to make sure you are familiar with patterns from grokking: https://hackernoon.com/14-patterns-to-ace-any-coding-interview-question-c5bb3357f6ed
Other than that trust yourself - to figure out the problem lmao - you already have an approach

[buoyant ruin]

This is exactly what I was looking for

[ocean venture]

thanks for sharing that link; great article!

[dry walrus]

Has anyone interviewed for OneTrust Java developer role ?

[atomic pivot]

Has anyone’s offer this season been rescinded?

[balmy minnow]

When to apply for new grad when graduating in december 2021

[steep herald]

Assuming same TC and both in cali, Twitter (ads) or apple (API dev) for new grad?

[digital carbon]

apple, just to avoid working on ads lmao

but you can't go wrong either way tbh

[orchid ibex]

How to get an apple interview?

Nothing works

[steep herald]

could u elaborate a bit? I've heard that Twitter's revenue team has rly good tech

[steep herald]

I think it helps a lot if u have iOS experience on ur resume through projects or jobs

[digital carbon]

oh twitter does have solid tech, they also contribute a lot to open source, which is awesome

I just mean that if my job was to explicitly increase revenue by serving ads, I would probably not find a ton of motivation to do it

obviously, everyone is different

I say the same thing for working on ads teams at any company (G, FB, etc.), so it's nothing against Twitter in particular to be clear

[orchid ibex]

@steep herald I'm all iOS lol

Worked with their health team too but can't seem to get an interview.

[atomic pivot]

So the return offer for internship?

[stone monolith]

linkedin has just been sucking more than usual these days

[uneven isle]

Microsoft Word

[stone monolith]

Open Office Impress

[atomic pivot]

Physical notebook

[stone monolith]

I'm happy to announce that I have accepted a position at Albertson's as a Bagging Intern. I'd like to thank <recruiter name> for making this a possibility.

Agree?

[atomic pivot]

the ending “Agree?” is on every post lmaooo

[stone monolith]

Commenting for my network

[spare violet]

Does anyone know about Microsoft's MAIDAP program?

[steep oriole]

Why do they always thank the recruiter?

Like if the recruiter was just doing their obligations, i.e. selecting my resume from a pool of applicants and setting up interviews for me cuz I have the minimum qualifications, do I have to thank them?

[severe jay]

most of university recruitment is hot garbage so when one just does their job they stand out lmao

[placid marlin]

full time SWE in seattle

[spare violet]

Have anyone applied Microsoft's MAIDAP program?

[wind acorn]

damn I'm sorry

[wind acorn]

you could if you wanted but it doesn't have to be public like on linkedin

[stone monolith]

because they feel indebted to the recruiter for doing their job lol

[wind acorn]

though I can see why someone might want to publicly acknowledge their recruiter (???)

[stone monolith]

Which is stupid but whatever lol

[wind acorn]

maybe they went above and beyond?

[stone monolith]

Recruiters get paid money to do that

Truee

My recruiter did really go above and beyond for me

She let me turn down an internship/FT offer, then she got me the interviews and the offer and the money I asked for

Soooo

Imma treat her to dinner

I guess

[wind acorn]

IME the smaller the company the better the recruiting experience has been for me. Big tech recruiters haven't been all that great to me they generally aren't as personable and I feel like I'm just a number to them

[wind acorn]

yeah I've had some really dope recruiters (esp. from the company I accepted) I want to thank them somehow but not sure what would be appropriate... maybe just a card or something? idk

[ocean venture]

cards are always great

[granite flax]

Sounds like ur using an excuse to treat her to dinner

[stone monolith]

Damn card it is lol

[naive rain]

I applied last year! Didn’t make it through my interview though

[spare violet]

Have you got an onsite? How difficult about the onsite?

[worthy spear]

Anyone got better.com interview call?

[worthy spear]

Nothing as of now. Any update?

Nothing yet, recd an email from them saying they'll start calling people for interviews after 15th Feb

[mystic mica]

love it when companies do that

[worthy spear]

Yeah. Same!

[mystic mica]

cus they'll definitely keep their word

just like twitter kept their word

just like how every other company keeps their word

totally

[worthy spear]

So, for Codility assessment do they expect 100% score?

😅

Idk, got 100 but still nothing from them 🤣

[wooden tangle]

that second question was hard but thankfully u didnt need a good runtime score on it to pass

actually not really sure if u can solve it in linear time

[stark otter]

forgetting the I HELPED A JOBLESS GUY WITH A JOB i am a god

[desert bough]

how do you prepare for a 30 min chat with a tech lead?

like should i be expecting some technical questions or just resume based?

[chrome sage]

Pretty much the talk about your past experiences

[stone monolith]

probably past exp

[proud fog]

One easy, on medium. I'm wondering if they'll give the next round.

[raw belfry]

Yeah... waiting for the same. I doubt they will...they hired a lot in the winter. Even if they do it might take quite some time

[unborn swan]

Any thoughts on this homies ?
https://leetcode.com/discuss/career/1077213/do-not-join-amazon-as-a-new-grad-via-student-programs

[wet rover]

just pray that you dont end up on the pipping block

[azure gull]

He declined salesforce and Microsoft offers for Amazon, I don’t get it

[unborn swan]

If I am not mistaken Amazon's new grad TC is slightly higher, especially if you are in the Bay Area. His offer was from Redmond,WA

[azure gull]

Ah I thought salesforce and Microsoft had a higher tc

[wet rover]

I think thats the first point to consider

that he didnt have the common sense to realize this even tho theres a backlog of posts saying the exact same thing

[main verge]

Are there any documents that list out the possible clarifying questions for each given input type during an interview? like if you're given a list of ints, checking if their negative, float, etc..?

[unborn swan]

Anything is better than nothing during the pandemic.

People in this server seriously understimate the difficulty of landing an internship or a new grad job

[buoyant nexus]

hmm
