And generally they're ok if you're within like 6 months of the application for new grad? I believe

[sinful raft]

Is Amazon still considering SDE 1 new grad 21 positions is it still sending assessments?

[dreamy crest]

do you know if the link is sitll up

[ocean venture]

I don't believe it is, let me check

I think amazon is basically always considering new grads they hiring hella

According to a friend of mine who's working there rn

[sinful raft]

Because application went under consideration so was wonder will get an assesment or not

[dreamy crest]

ok ty

[ocean venture]

yeah I can't seem to find it

[dreamy crest]

That's unfortunate

thanks anyway

[knotty basin]

anyone got any resources for offer negotiation?

[ocean venture]

i remember reading some good content about salary negotiation in cracking the coding interview

[stark forge]

Google is no longer hiring new grad they took it down

did you get an OA from them ?

[eternal jolt]

would be so random and ditzy and rawr xD if we all got job offers rn

[slim inlet]

silly goose youre so silly xP

unless....

[solar ocean]

For people who got into Microsoft, did you cold email your recruiter or just applied online and prayed?

[fiery otter]

Applied

And I didn’t get in but I got a final in two weeks

But I heard some people

It took em 6 weeks

To hear back

6 months

[dim scarab]

Two weeks

[fiery otter]

Lmaoooo

I heard back in a week tbo

It’s luck

Definitely

[solar ocean]

@fiery otter thanks! do you have a redacted resume that I could reference?

By any chance

[fiery otter]

Bruh my resume trash don’t believe in the reusme hype

Just use jakes

[solar ocean]

Dang

[fiery otter]

Cuz

There madddddd

Company’s there rejected me

[solar ocean]

I really want to get into Microsoft but their screening is so inconsistent

[fiery otter]

But will give an intevrie to someone

Else

Vice verse

Vrrsa

[solar ocean]

Hmmm true

Just a coin flip I guess

[fiery otter]

I’m literally in the process of changing my resume

[solar ocean]

Thanks though!

[fiery otter]

Cuz I’ve been ina cold rut

It’s luck my brotha

Dont question ur abilities

[crimson lava]

Hey guys, I have a question. So I applied to the AMZN New grad position back in August and did not pass the OA assessment in September. I emailed them and they said I can apply again in 6 months. 6 months pass and I email them again to make sure. They said that new grad recruiting is basically finished for this year and they recommended me to apply again in July when the next new grad cycle opens (even though I'm graduating).

My question is though I want to apply to the regular SDE 1 positions now (I know a few people that have gotten in that way before they graduated). I go on the jobs page and I see so many positions available for SDE 1 (Appstore, Advertising, etc) and am not sure which one to pick. Also, should I refrain from applying to more than 1 position? Thank you.

I was thinking of applying to what most closely corresponds with me previous internship experience but I'm not sure if that really matters too much

Alright, thank you very much man.

[still marsh]

Hi Guys. I am a person with 2 years exp. I am seeing that I am getting way more calls from Entry-level SDE roles than the new-grad ones. I think the New-grad role gives more importance to other factors than your resume IMO.

[still marsh]

So if you have some experience (1-3 yrs exp), start applying for entry-level SDE roles.

[cursive oasis]

just got a couple behavioural qs like how do u manage multiple projects, somethin like that where theres no right answer, and then 1 leetcode medium, it was chill

[fiery otter]

Dam that’s tough one

Under prob means

They received ur app

In consideration prob means

U in consideration compared to other candidates

Or they could mean the exact same thing

[rough atlas]

[elder dragon]

by experience do you mean 1-2 internships?

[raw belfry]

Anyone got oa for wepay?

[fiery otter]

Yes

Lots of people

[raw belfry]

Hahahaha

Did you get it @fiery otter

What were the qs like?

How many qs?

[solid laurel]

i took the internship OA awhile ago, so if theyre anything similar, its an easy and hard

[raw belfry]

Yeah the intern was harder...took it last summer

Don't know how full time is

[stone monolith]

i'm going to go with no

since this question gets asked like every day

and the answer has historically been:
no

Hey yall i’m currently senior in middle school looking for 2029 new grad roles, are there any open preferably for a startup that hasn’t been founded yet but will IPO that year

[sick hazel]

switch to history while you still have time .. the startups will only be able to pay you 500k max

[wet rover]

nope all possible startups for the next few centuries are already filled by senior level elementary schoolers coding 247 unpaid surviving on 2 litres redbull and monster daily

[stone monolith]

mmmm i love that

22nd century seems very promising

[grizzled sand]

you really wanna wait 101 years more?😳

[iron gate]

[grizzled sand]

[wind acorn]

no the early ones open in june/july while big tech opens in aug/sept

[elder dragon]

just learned that you get taxed for RSU's at salary rate even if you don't sell

pain

[karmic jolt]

hold up, you telling me if that w/e RSU vests, you're paying taxes on it immediately? What happens when you sell? You get double-taxed?

do normal capital gain tax rules apply to RSUs on sell and then you're paying income tax on the RSUs that vest right away lmao

[clear zenith]

prayer chain

[woeful dew]

Got Google OA today time for prayers

[stone monolith]

[elder dragon]

@karmic jolt yes

[karmic jolt]

lmaaao wow, that's terrible

[stone monolith]

sounds about right

no such thing as a free lunch

That’s why all my pay is base salary 🥴

[plucky fog]

hypothetically what would happen if the stock dropped to 0?

you would just have to pay taxes on money you dont have?

[vestal herald]

if it goes to 0 you can claim up to $3000 in capital loss(net) per year

[jovial hedge]

anyone know what kind of topics i should keep in mind for questions when i'm interviewing with the team i'd join?

besides tech stack and workflow questions idk what else to ask

[rough atlas]

[worthy spear]

[knotty basin]

maybe wlb questions like on call, code review / development process, what about the company/team has kept them at that company/team?

[slim lake]

Can someone give me a priority order for Boston, Dallas, Seattle? assuming I like a city life and good weather (ideally)

[full shore]

Seattle, boston, dallas

[slim lake]

thanks! the rain in seattle is the one thing that puts me off lol

[unkempt echo]

I like Boston > Seattle > dallas

[dim scarab]

how are the winters

in Seattle

[knotty basin]

not too cold, snow maybe couple times a year at most, rainy/overcast

[ocean venture]

Very milks mild and doesn't get very cold. Climate wise pnw is hard to beat

[slim lake]

why do you like Boston better

[clear zenith]

I think comparing boston and seattle is more about taste at this point

[dim scarab]

i like milk

[unkempt echo]

I’ve just had good experiences there haha

[slim lake]

looked it up both seem to have a lot of upsides and downsides lol. Boston might be what I'm looking for rn. I'm in Boulder rn so I've experienced all the outdoorsy stuff and outdoorsy people lol

Anyway not that I got the job yet. They asked me my preference and I got really confused lol

[pseudo wigeon]

anyone done the Goldman Sachs superday?

[pseudo wigeon]

Damn I had to wait 3 weeks too. Sent my recruiter 3 follow up emails lol

Hopefully they’ll be able to it’d be pretty wack if they couldn’t

[versed lintel]

If you have just one class left to do (in fall semester), do companies typically let you finish that up while starting work?

like, work while doing a class? i.e. before you get your degree

[dim scarab]

Yeah

[ocean venture]

Zoom interview done and moving on to next round pls gib offee

Offer

[ocean venture]

Same :(

[slate crypt]

Yeah quite unfortunate, didn't think my resume was that bad

I thought it was easier to at least get interviews for FT roles

[elder dragon]

for 2021 New Grad role?

[ocean venture]

Yeah!

[elder dragon]

niceee, gl

[jovial hedge]

forgot to reply but these topics helped me come up with some questions for my interview today, thanks

[ocean venture]

Thank you!

[knotty basin]

yeah np, glad it helped!!

[civic rivet]

My response rate been drier than my dms this week

[late fossil]

where to find roomates for housing. tried fb groups but would like to find a couple of people to get a house with in MTV

[wind acorn]

craigslist?

[azure gull]

Try Facebook housing groups for universities nearby

[wind acorn]

why not both? I've heard EPI is a bit harder than CTCI, so it might be good to get the foundations down with CTCI then move on to CTCI

if you have two weeks do neither then

do Blind 75 and company tagged questions on Leetcode

sorry don't have more specifics on Akuna's interview process but maybe EPI then otherwise

yeah more or less most if not all the questions I've been asked have been one of the 75 or variations on them

good luck!

ive never done an interview for a frontend position before. can someone share any advice on what its like?

[solid laurel]

I applied for a backend position and was given a front-end task for one of my interviews lol.

He had TypeScript(?) class set up and wanted me to set up an infinite scrolling webpage fwiw

[timber portal]

hlo

[elder maple]

did they let you use third party libs? or all vanilla

@solid laurel like no axios?

[solid laurel]

@elder maple i'd never touched typescript in my life

so i implemented everything in pseudocode

typescript wasnt even on my resume lol

[elder maple]

lol

[solid laurel]

safe to say i failed that final interview

[elder dragon]

@slim inlet the difference between real DOM and virtual DOM. Probably some CSS/SASS. Understand react components and the component lifecycle. Know advantages and differences of Typescript. Just some examples

[elder maple]

tbh i don't even remember the component lifecycle names, im too used to hooks

[royal moon]

Does twitch give Amazon stocks?

[iron gate]

[devout carbon]

Dammmm

[cursive loom]

You can negotiate more with other offers

Someone was able to get close to 210

[iron gate]

210 TC?

[cursive loom]

yes

err 210k tc

[elder dragon]

@elder maple yeah, but for some reason I always get asked about them 🤷🏽‍♂️

[slim inlet]

is it a bad idea to apply for fall internships even though i’m graduating this spring? starting to lose hope :/

[elder dragon]

@slim inlet apply to everything and anything. Better to have it and say no than not have it and be desperate

@worthy spear SWE and PM, haven’t gotten a rejection yet, applied a week ago

[elder dragon]

yep

PM was for Google Cloud (no exp. requirement) and SWE was a generic application that had 2yr required exp.

[main verge]

Hi everyone, what do you all think about being a Software dev at tier 2/3 Trading company vs Software dev at tier 1/2 Tech company?
Any insight would be super good, thanks 🙂

[main verge]

If I got into a tier3 trading company as a software dev, would it be worth going into the company? over a tier 2 tech company?

[cerulean pivot]

tiers 💀

who cares lol

ur thoughts arent gonna be ur company tier when ur writing code

dont hyper-fixate on prestiege it does not make u a good engineer lol

[main verge]

Yeah that's very true

Just wanted to put that out there because it might matter when moving to a different company after

[latent cipher]

if you’re rly choosing b/w a solid tech company + a solid trading firm just go w whichever you feel will challenge you as an engineer or whoever’s culture seems like a better fit

[cerulean pivot]

not so much for full time roles

i look at a lot of the resumes of people we're interviewing at uber

and i can confirm it does not matter as much as u think it does

(the "tier" of company)

they were prev at

[main verge]

Thanks for the insights.
I know that I'll like the work that I'll be doing at the tech company but I want to try the trading company to see if I'll like it as well. Just worried that I might be "wasting" time if I end up not liking the trading company and having to move into a tech company after a year since I could've used that time to build my perf for the tech comp.
I'll probably have to think a bit more about which one to choose.

[cerulean pivot]

i think what u do in this job matters more than what the status of the job is when ur trying to look for another job

trading isnt a special case with this

so if u can work in the similar tech stack that a trading company has then go for that one

[main verge]

I heard that the dev work at trading companies will be focusing on the efficiency, speed, etc.. (something irrelevant to full stack development).
So I think the things I might work on in the trading company might not be helpful when I switch over to a tech company where I'll probably end up in a full stack dev team (which is what I like).

But I guess since it'll be my first job out of college, it shouldn't matter too much whether I take a small detour

[dreamy crest]

Anyone hear back about Zoom new grad?

[digital carbon]

How is efficiency irrelevant in full stack development? Like sure you won't have to work close to the metal, but the general ideas of building efficient systems imo should be transferable knowledge.

[main verge]

I mean yes efficiency matters, but companies don't use C++ to optimise the back-end for full stack development like trading companies do for their infra. I meant that trading companies focus on optimising the code itself in addition to the algorithms.

[digital carbon]

Sure, but I think you're splitting hairs

Any good engineering org should hire engineers based on their general problem solving skills

As long as you don't dig your head into a hole and stop paying attention to the tech world, more likely than not you'll be fine

@main verge you can always change companies if you don't want to stick around at the trading company

I'm not advocating for one company or the other, just echoing what Joey said because I feel the same way

[main verge]

Yeah I think I'm thinking that way too, thanks for your input 🙂

[ocean venture]

Yeah i had my first phone interview last week and am scheduling my final two this week

[dreamy crest]

How long did it take for them to reach out to you after your application

[ocean venture]

I think about a week or two?

Jk i apparently applied on the 26th of feb

Heard back on the 6th of this month

I think i applied right when they opened though

[solid laurel]

Good luck!

[dreamy crest]

Jesus yeah I just applied like two weeks ago

[mossy sky]

anyone here interview with twitter? wondering what i should expect for round one 60 minute interview

[quick lodge]

LC Med

Twitter focuses a lot on OOP principles and make sure to ask clarifying questions. They appreciate that

[mossy sky]

@quick lodge Okay cool thanks a lot. Did you make it to the final round interviews as well? Wondering if those are the same as the phone screen

[quick lodge]

yeah made it to the final round, final rounds were LC Med-Hard and LC Hard

[mossy sky]

As in LC med, i have not studied system design

[quick lodge]

which team?

[mossy sky]

uhh let me go check again

consumer revenue team in SF

[quick lodge]

yeah i don't think they ask system design, check with your recruiter once

ah okay

[mossy sky]

ok will do, gotta pass phone screen first though

[quick lodge]

gl!

[mossy sky]

thanks man 🙂

also did they ask u DP questions

[quick lodge]

yeah my final round had an obscure DP problem

[mossy sky]

gdi lol

did u end up getting it

[quick lodge]

nope i ended up giving a greedy solution which turned out to be completely wrong lmao

[mossy sky]

Lol happens

u get the offer in the end?

[quick lodge]

nah lol

[mossy sky]

ok well i probably wont get either so we in the same boat

haha dw you got this! you'll do well!

[ocean venture]

[rugged yarrow]

Hey, I just got started the interview with Goldman Sachs for a software engineering position. Any suggestions what I could expect on the interviews and what can I focus on more?

[lunar creek]

guys, Microsoft vs Amazon. Which would you take if they both give you equal offers and those were the only offers you have

[dreamy crest]

I'd personally take Microsoft

[dim scarab]

it can depend on the product you want to work on but generally, microsoft

[woven quartz]

microsoft. amazon's rep is just trash rn with all this pip stuff goin around

[digital carbon]

I'm out of the loop, has Amazon been firing a lot of people lately?

[digital carbon]

What are your goals/aspirations? What kind of work interests you? Do you know what team you might be on at each place? What's your risk appetite?

Without more context, the question is as good as asking "should I eat an apple or an orange?"

If you care about job security then Microsoft is probably the way to go

[woven quartz]

idk but ive seen thread after thread on blind of people being on a PIP shortly after joining

[digital carbon]

Gotcha. I don't go on blind, thanks for filling me in lol.

[woven quartz]

np, that's what the thread linked if you're curious http://outline.com/N7HVNM

[digital carbon]

ooo spicy

[still marsh]

Along with tier. Check what work you will be doing in each company.

[lunar creek]

what I was particularly interested in was whether how Microsoft as a company will be down the line long term compared to Amazon. Amazon holds the market in both Retail and cloud for now. Microsoft only in OS and are behind in cloud and other orgs.

Specifically I will be joining the Bing team in Msft while idk the team yet in Amazon.

[elder dragon]

at this point in your career, level don't matter. your work and what you learn will def be more important. as long as salary is comparable, think about what you would enjoy doing more. what's the wlb at each company, could you see yourself doing this for 2-3 years?

ik it's hard because we've been programmed to care about it (college we went to, cars, clothes etc.) but prestige really doesn't matter. life is more than what people think about you. if you're happy working at a company and get paid a good amount and do good work you can move wherever you want later in your career.

[still marsh]

Their hiring standard is pretty random. Because some people who don't even have any programming expereience get through the interview. They will be the ones who will be PIPed first. So if you feel that you are good enough with the technologies in general you will be fine. Also, prepare to work for longer hours in Amazon.

I am in the final stage interview process with a company. The recruiter is asking me if I have any other interviews going on/I have any offers already. How should I answer this? Any resources for navigating through these issues.

[digital carbon]

Thanks for clarifying! Tbh I think Microsoft will be perfectly fine in the future. They may not be #1 in cloud, but Azure is still far ahead of GCP, and MSFT has a pretty wide variety of projects.

Fwiw I've heard retail eng teams at Amazon have the worst wlb, and w.r.t cloud there aren't a whole lot of positions on AWS teams / those positions are much more competitive

Bing might not be the sexiest thing to work on, but you'd probably still learn a lot working on that team. And there's also the option of internal or external mobility if you feel like switching things up in a year or two.

[digital carbon]

Do you have other offers or interviews?

I usually recommend disclosing them because it shows you're wanted (which in turn makes other companies want you more, weirdly enough)

[still marsh]

I have another offer. But it's like 75K in LA. So, I don't know if it will help at all.

[lunar creek]

thanks for the insight. it would be great if Amazon just assigns teams with the offer. Makes things easier to compare

[digital carbon]

It's still worth disclosing the deadline so that you don't end up in a situation where you need to respond to one company but are still waiting on the other

[digital python]

what do you guys think about an automation/qa role? if it pays 125k in bay area

[civic rivet]

Idk if I’m having a bad day or what but I got absolutely stumped by that path ai question

Rip me

[zinc dawn]

I am loking for opportunity in Software/Web Development. So far I have used only linkedin to see openings. Which other job boards should I look into? Dice/career builder/Indeed? I am confused because I think I never got any reply from applications through Indeed when I was looking for an internship.

[last linden]

because amazon is ass

[last linden]

would you rather have this

go on i'll wait

[woeful dew]

Not sure if they ask system design for new grads but I think it's recruiter then final round of interviews

[eternal jolt]

ahh what do the final rounds typically look like if you may know?

i think im going to shoot for the next new grad opening either this summer or fall

and want to be as prepared as i can be

[woeful dew]

I read some posts on leetcode discuss and it's mostly technical leetcode style questions and 1 behavioral

[eternal jolt]

thats not bad at all

[woeful dew]

Should still confirm with someone who has actually gone through the process here

[eternal jolt]

I went through a mid size start up new grad interview and the final round was 4 hours: system design, technical discussions, and behavior

If you want the most up-to-date postings for a company, you have to go to their career page

[tranquil pebble]

Can anybody pls give me an idea how to go about this?
There are some students, sitting in a circle. Each student is assigned a roll no (1 to n). There is a teacher who was given an initial roll no and he has to remove the student with initial roll no. and then has to remove the student who was at that position starting from the removed student. Your function should return the last student left. Example: 2, 3, 1, 4, 5 start with 3, remove 3, then remove 5, then remove 1 (follow circle), then remove 4. Ans – 2.

Has anyone here gone through team matching at Amazon? I can’t decide which team to pick and would appreciate some help

[slim lake]

Can someone tell me the complexity for number of unique paths in a grid, without memoization?

Starting from top left, get number of paths to bottom right using dfs.

I'm confused because of the number of redundant paths. Is it still O(n^2) and how?

[rancid gull]

what's the lc question?

[timber pike]

pretty sure the recursive solution is O(2^N), could be wrong tho

[slim lake]

can you explain how, given the number of blocks you traverse redundantly

I just had an interview and yeah I ended up saying O(n^2) too, but he didn't ask me to explain fortunately

[timber pike]

Each time we call our recursive functions and go to a further layer, we have two more branches == exponential

think of Fibonacci recursion

[slim lake]

Oh damn I misread

[slim lake]

this makes sense thanks

I said "at least O(n^2)" but yeah the interview went overall and I solved the problem quickly so hopefully I shouldn't get disqualified based on just that

[timber pike]

did you use the DP solution or recursive one?

[slim lake]

I used recursion with memoization, he asked me complexity for both

with memoization is easy

[timber pike]

Did you have two different inputs for the row x col?

Or were they the same?

[slim lake]

no they were different. I said O(m*n) for with memoization at least.

But said O(n^2) for a general n which I think was fine

though wrong obv. lol

[timber pike]

should be okay, at least you got the DP time complexity right

What company is this?

[slim lake]

Rakuten

[sly drift]

@slim lake why is O(n^2) wrong ? 🤔

[ocean venture]

my interviewer for my zoom interview wanted me to make a recursive power of 2 function in python

i was like why would i EVER do this

lmao

python stack calls are disgusting

[rancid gull]

i've heard bytedance, at least in the us, has some of the worst wlb around

[slim lake]

In what sense do you mean.

Big O means it is limited above by a multiple of that function. If it is in reality 2^n it cannot be O(n^2) because 2^n would exceed that for a given value of x

[wet rover]

[plucky fog]

I would say they were lc mediums

[limpid steppe]

[slim lake]

lc mediums in general - focus on passing all test cases

[polar violet]

[olive lily]

in general? CTCI, grokking , Elements of programming, blind 75 list are classic for the technical portion

[waxen sundial]

fucking terrified for new grad searching

[clear zenith]

[elder maple]

i think that just comes with practice interviews

STAR method

[olive lily]

CTCI - also has good chapter on it

for common interview interview u could always prepare for them beforehand

[iron gate]

projects you should always be ready to explain in detail

think about all the decisions that you made and justify them

any major challenges encountered and explain how you overcome them

also make sure to use "i" language and now "we" if you're talking about a team effort as to not deemphasize your own personal contributions

[iron gate]

also study up on the values of the company

make sure that your behaviorals tie into their values somehow

the whole idea is to see how well you can 1.) assimilate into the company's culture and work environment and 2.) see how good of a person you are to work with

yeah like

instead of saying "we implemented a feature to"

say "i implemented a feature"

obviously don't lie and say you did things you didn't

ye, best of luck!

[ocean venture]

u want to focus on the impact you directly had

in my zoom interview i only talked about the things that i did directly

and u can always kind of word things to sound like u had the most impact even if it was a group project

although dont take my advice until i get an offer LOL

[iron gate]

yeah in my twitch interview, they asked me what other people in the team were doing and i tied that into how i collaborated with them and understood what else was going on in the rest of the project instead of only caring about my own part and not knowing what else was going on

[leaden venture]

Has anyone ever rescheduled an interview? Does it look bad?

I have an onsite with google on friday

And I have been so sick all week

[little creek]

yea its fine just say you are sick

nobody cares and google just hires everyone that hits their bar so its not like you are going to lose your spot, at a smaller company that might be a concern

[leaden venture]

[stone monolith]

whoa what

[granite flax]

if amazon removes python from OA this server is in tatters

[civic rivet]

They’re probably talking about OA1 debugging. The options are like c++, java, and something else, I think c#

meanwhile im just hoping zoom gives me an offer so i can finally stop applying

lmao

[rancid gull]

reach out to professors/labs to see if they have any projects/research that you can work on, it'll look a lot better than having a blank there

esp so if you're at a top 20 school (for cs i assume)

and if you actually make meaningful/cool coontributions to a cool project then it looks pretty nice on resume still

gl

[worthy spear]

or any tech related school jobs helps

sometimes the research jobs posted the professors will want experience as well, in my time at uni I did 7 different student jobs in programming

[weary ice]

[wind acorn]

What do y'all think of this? https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/mu0ny2/candidate_if_you_dont_provide_a_flexible_working/

[timber pike]

just clarify with your recruiter if there will be a technical round pertaining to LC/algo problem solving

lol ye instead of guessing what the interviews gonna be on, ask her

she wants you to succeed so no harm in ever asking recruiters this type of info

[burnt nacelle]

Anyone mind sharing some behavioral interview questions they've been asked?

[ocean venture]

"What's a hard roadblock that you've ran into in a project and how did you solve it?"

Something like that was asked in my zoom interview recently

[latent cipher]

“can you talk about a time where you disagreed with a team member on a project decision? how did you handle it?”

[knotty basin]

Talk about a time where you disagreed strongly with a technical decision in a group and how you resolved it

[proven ingot]

"Tell me about a time you used data to convince somebody of something."

[slim lake]

(ML question) Does anyone know how the complexity of the RNN is O(n*d^2) ?

[slim lake]

me too

where is the matrix in an RNN. Makes sense for a CNN with convolutions

Yep

It should be in the same complexity range I guess

Oh maybe they mean a multi-layer RNN/LSTM. That should still be O(n*d) I think? Edit: No it would be O(n*m) where m is the number of layers

why would that be d^2 though?

d is the embedding dimension

[slim lake]

even considering each "multilayer" as one layer, it would still be O(n*m*d) where m is the number of layers right?

[ornate charm]

Study OOP, threads and processes, data structures, algorithms

Also maybe some data base shit idk depends on what company

[slim lake]

fair enough lol

this is the worst when their expectations are so vague so you need to study everything and constantly feel nervous as shit with no idea what to expect

which company

[modest vale]

I couldn't find the channel for 2022 grads... I just have a couple of questions.
1./ I come from a no-name midwest school, but I have a good (3.9) gpa and two fortune 500 internships. Is this good enough to get interviews from places like nvidia, linkedin, github, microsoft, square, etc.? I'm taking project heavy classes this sem and i'm hoping to do one this summer as the project section of my resume is lacking.
If anyone is/was in a similar situation as me i'd love to speak to you
2./ I don't have much experience in the interview process. I've done about 50 leetcodes since I hear that all of these companies ask those types of questions. Should I be preparing from OOP/system design as well, or is that dependent from company to company?

[azure gull]

How long does it take to hear back from google after new grad final round

[rancid gull]

you should get interviews fine, make sure your resume highlights key contributions/technologies that you made and used at your internships/for your projects

also, i've said this before, but definitely reach out to profs to work on interesting projects or research to put on your resume. for interviews, grind leetcode, make sure your pattern recognition for types of problems is good and you know how to solve general types of problems. try blind 75 for a good starting point. new grad interviews will rarely ask real high-level system design ime, more likely if they ask sys design at all it'll be at the api level (e.g. create a class or an api)

also don't sleep on behavioral, make sure you know your resume and know how to make yourself stand out, prepare a few specific examples that you can use for different behavioral q's

[elder maple]

Ive been asked to design a rest api and also schemas before

I didnt rlly study for that but it was pretty easy since i work with that stuff

[modest vale]

Dope. I do have some research experience, and ill definitely keep this advice in mind. I generally consider myself pretty good at the behavioral (although this is subjective) questions, but I think i'll find someone that I can practice that with.

@elder maple Does that vary from company to company?

[elder maple]

Yeah i'd say so

[distant dagger]

team matching is the next process

[modest vale]

So i guess i should focus on technical interviews and brush up on concepts etc, because that doesn't sound too awful

[azure gull]

Hold up, you’re telling me that there’s MORE steps in the process after 5 rounds of interviews? What the hell

[distant dagger]

Yup pretty standard for Google, but it's going to be a lot less formal

[azure gull]

Ridiculous

[sturdy raft]

You are interviewing for which company?

[elder maple]

Hey so let's say you just got your first job offer but the pay is kinda trash and they give u only a week to accept. But you are also interviewing with other companies at the same time. Would u accept the offer just in case and just reneg if u get smth better?

[timber pike]

Yes

[elder maple]

Im in that situation rn.

Ok

Think ima do that

[dim scarab]

Yeah do that if you can’t get more time

also for exploding offers

just say

"I really would like to work at x company, but I need to discuss this with <literally enter anyone here, just say family even> as this affects them as well."

it makes it seem like ur not egging them on while also making them look like an asshole if they don't give u more time

yeah she left yahoo with over 150 million as payout and thousands of jobs lost, she was heavily criticized for the payout

yahoo was a failing company when she got on, so who knows, maybe she didn't have much to work with, but yahoo was not doing so great when she left

[elder maple]

Well dont even know if i made it to the final yet, just finished 2nd coderpad, so ill worry about it when i do lol.

[dim scarab]

now thats "impact"

[near forge]

Anyone know what kinda problems to practice or the difficulty to expect for the first tech interview of 60 mins for SDE 1 at Amazon? Got it through a recruiter and didn't give any OA other than the failed attempt back in Jan.

[gritty tiger]

Is Amazon still hiring for new grad role?

[elder maple]

No idea, these were reg sde

[thick portal]

20 min leadership and 45 min for coding 5 min for reverse inteview

[near forge]

I see. Thanks!
What was the level of difficulty for coding? LC medium hard?

[thick portal]

medium

Blind 75 + amazon tagged 🙂

[near forge]

Nice! I did find a list for Blind 75 and can get amazon tagged from LC premium. But I am open to any helpful links you have for that. either way thank you very much! 😄

[quaint falcon]

I think Blind 75 covers most of the problem patterns

[slim inlet]

I need some opinions. I have 2 OAs tomorrow. Should I take the one I don’t care about more first to squeeze in practice or take the one I care about more first so my brain is more fresh

[wet rover]

take the one u care abt first

let ur best performance be with the one u want to work at

[slim inlet]

I think I’m just nervous to get started with the one I care more about in case I have a brain fart or something

[still marsh]

What to expect in an interview director of engineering of a medium-sized company? The recruiter told that expect technical and behavioral questions.

[lunar creek]

if you renege from Amazon new grad, do they contact your university?

[elder dragon]

@slim inlet I always warm up with 2-3 lc before an OA

Kind of feels like stretching before running

And it boosts your confidence

[rancid gull]

1h screen (10-20m behavioral, rest technical), 5 round onsite

[ocean venture]

That's rough

[dapper dock]

5 rounds onsite? sounds like a competitive tekken match

[real walrus]

Voleon did the same way too exhausting tbh

[golden slate]

How difficult are technical questions for Amazon SDE-1 Onsite?

I was expecting medium-ish for OA 2 but got 2 LC hards so I'm kinda worried it will be similar for onsite as well

[rancid gull]

haven't done the onsite yet, but i think it's 3 coding rounds (lc med/hard), 1 sys design, and 1 30 min behavioral

[subtle grove]

Im already in process with a phone interview scheduled with Amazon. But another recruiter reached out with a online assessment for another team. What should I respond?

[distant dagger]

send them my contact information

[subtle grove]

I want to know if split loop is possible at Amazon.

[crude elm]

anyone graduating in December already have an offer?

[slim inlet]

y’all what is revature? i looked them up and it seems like ass and they keep emailing/messaging me lol

[rancid gull]

afaik they're a tech consulting firm kinda like tcs or cognizant

[civic rivet]

Avoid them

[severe jay]

^ i agree, heard horror stories about consulting firms

[vernal crystal]

Anybody here take the google university grad SE coding exercise? Says 2 questions in 90 minutes. Wanted to know what to expect. Thanks!

[civic rivet]

Has anyone gone through the Expedia on-site for SDE 1? It’s different from the new grad I believe

[clear zenith]

lmfaoooo im stealing this

[knotty basin]

it was really fuckin rough can confirm

[ocean venture]

Seems excessive for a company like snap

[slim inlet]

motional is having me do a 5 hour on-site too

[knotty basin]

they even had a system design round

[sick hazel]

yeah their business model is very different from their interviews lol

[slim inlet]

what’s with these companies thinking they can just use up 5 hours worth of brain activity

[knotty basin]

it’s so shit lol

[sick hazel]

intense brain activity too

[ocean venture]

I like system design questions tbh, but that is kind of dumb considering how awful their android app is

[distant dagger]

could happen, I had the same thing happen to me for zoom but I just told the other interviewer I'm already in the loop

[iron gate]

i've done two 4 round interviews before

they suck

zero brain power afterwards

[umbral creek]

I wonder can Canadian work remotely for US office and have US offer?

But physically in Canada

[worthy spear]

Super depends on company

But for google no

[umbral creek]

Even we are working remotely now?

[worthy spear]

If you started in the US then you can be taking your us salary here

Just until return to office so it’s really an exception

If you started totally remote you get a Canadian contract with cad

Regardless of team

[umbral creek]

Gotcha

[worthy spear]

Kinda worth nothing though that you get a split contract

So you get an upper end cad offer but not same as usd

[dapper dock]

Could you make it better tho? Felt like it was rushed

[clear zenith]

wdym? your quote?

[dapper dock]

Yeah, felt like I could word it better but i dont have any ideas

Ofc steal it idm

[slim inlet]

oh god a recruiter from cognizant reached out to me 🥴 is it time to settle for cognizant

[timber pike]

Better off doing side projects/LC unless you really need the money/experience IMO

[cursive stratus]

What is the call with technical recruiter after google oa? Behavioral?

[thick portal]

nah its informal round

[zealous tapir]

to explain about the interview process

[subtle helm]

Has anyone heard back from Snapchat yet?

[knotty basin]

i did but depends which stage you mean

[subtle helm]

hmm, I was honestly wondering if anyone heard back at all haha, whether that's a request for a coding test or a phone screen

[knotty basin]

yeah i just did my onsite this monday

[subtle helm]

Oh wow, awesome! Was this for 2021 new grad?

[knotty basin]

yes for 2021 new grad for spam and abuse team

[slim lake]

never

[subtle helm]

Dope man! When did you apply btw?

[knotty basin]

i didn't apply they reached out to me on linkedin, which was like... a month ago i think?

[umbral creek]

I wonder anyone has experience of negotiating Amazon new grads offer? Specially Van office. Please DM me.

[tired bay]

Amazon doesn’t negotiate new grad

[umbral creek]

thanks

[real pawn]

if graduating in 2022

[distant dagger]

i did

[distant dagger]

i know some have already started

[real pawn]

can u name few of them which had already started ?

[distant dagger]

I don't remember the names since I wasn't interested in the roles but they did catch my attention given how early it is to recruit for 2022 grads

[slim inlet]

i took it as well. havent heard back since taking it though

[clear zenith]

Anyone heard of Picovoice?

[fair obsidian]

Anyone here still waiting for the goldman sachs interview to be scheduled?

[ocean venture]

[azure gull]

When you guys move/moved to a new city for new grad jobs do you live in the city city (downtown, midtown, etc.) or in the suburbs?
