there it is

solid crag
#

lmao

#

I mean, my stl skills ahve improved quite a bit since leetcoding, but the actual patterns themselves seem totally irrelevant to work

bleak fern
#

Oooo nice

#

There is a website with all the patterns let me send it

#

go through these

#

they are blind 75 and a bit more

#

then after you can crunch some random leetcode med

#

once you are at a comfortable level

#

first do grokking

#

to learn the patterns

quaint falcon
#

Thanks a lot!!!

bleak fern
#

Still not enough for interviews tho

#

Hopefully that mode kicks in soon

#

I am hoping to be ready by August when applications open up

solid crag
#

i got 3 OAs to do in the next 5 days

#

not sure I'm good enough for any of em xD

bleak fern
solid crag
#

fingers crossed

#

was hoping to hear back from siemens and cadence but they don't seem to want to respond to me =/

#

siemens replied 2 weeks ago that their hiring manager was reviewing resumes, then didn't hear anything back since

bleak fern
#

Damn don't worry man I believe in you. You will get something better

solid crag
#

well I have OAs for better companies but also much harder to pass xD

#

I figured something like siemens I could ez it

#

just looking to get a couple years doing C++/distributed systems in whatever decent company I can find then move on from there

#

not super easy to find as a new grad since most of the jobs seem to be mobile or web

ionic vigil
#

do you guys pay for educative subscription or just buy grokking for full price?

pulsar flower
#

Anyone interview with rubrik for new grad position

gritty tiger
#

can we work as a paid intern on F-1 OPT?

dreamy crest
#

yes

#

you can do internships on OPT

#

but not advised cuz it takes away OPT time thats why most ppl do CPT

hey guys so I applied for role on LinkedIn and turns out that role for a mid level to senior level developer. But its seems like they did not had many applicants (i was only 2 on linkedin) so the recturter called me for an interview. I am meeting with him tomorrow. I am wondering what should I expect as the potion is for senior developer in there job description and I don't have that experience

bleak fern
#

The recruiter will probably just ask you about your experience and qualifications

#

If you are only meeting with the recruiter then there is probably no technical side

proven fox
#

Bruh I got a final interview for an experienced position and then got rejected lol

#

Wasnt expecting to get an offer tho lol

bleak fern
#

Fang ?

proven fox
#

No

#

But the position was 3+ yoe

bleak fern
#

How many did you have ?

hoary gull
#

Mine is more like 5+

proven fox
#

2

hoary gull
#

and I am in negative

bleak fern
#

Maybe I should apply to all the 3+ years jobs too

#

Get some practice in OA

hoary gull
proven fox
#

Linkedin entry level is a joke tbh

worthy spear
#

Citadel paid 480k to a new grad he had competing offer from jane street

proven fox
#

a lot of real entry level jobs are not tagged and there's a lot of 3+ yoe tagged entry level

tawdry notch
worthy spear
#

Is the work at citadel or js actually good for your growth as a new grad though?

#

It feels a little short sighted to just focus on $$$ vs long term growth

#

Passwordless API could be hot given worries about cyber security

No wonder all these cybersec startups are announcing their findings now

Depends what drives you, if you're a huge tech fan and not so much into finance Facebook or Google sounds way more appealing

I had a mentor who worked 5 years at google and he said he felt growth was stagnant

Also from my experience while yes it can feel like you’re not learning, you’re still dealing with a metric ton of complexity

I wouldn't take cit for 400 with 80 hour work week

#

for the same reason i wouldn't take amazon for 170

digital carbon
tame latch
#

working 8-9 isn't worth

#

if you are good enough to get cit, you are good enough to get better wlb for less tc

golden seal
#

So I was wondering, what makes the process at places like Citadel more difficult? Is it because they ask for more than OAs, or is it just that they're OAs are more difficult (like LC hard)?

tame latch
#

the oa doesn't even matter

#

because you get resume screened after the oa

#

the oa is automatic

#

you probably wouldn't get a phone screen unless you are target or already broke into the industry

#

or google/fb already

golden seal
#

I see! Because I don't know anything about fin companies and never had any interest in them, but earlier this year I participated in Stanford's Hackathon and they were sponsoring

#

And obviously, they sent swag, made sure they sent everyone info about their internships and new grad

tame latch
#

the sponser bc stanford

#

interviews are probably also hard

#

but if you can't get the interview you can't do anything

golden seal
#

Okay I see what is part of the problem now ahah

#

Thx for making it clearer

#

I'm pretty happy to be here, it changes a lot of things when we're all able to push each other to access these very highly guarded things. I wasn't even aware of all of that even like 3 months ago

i had the initial snapchat interview today and i was able to solve 2 leetcode easy problems but got stuck/ ran out of time on the 3rd one, is that enough to move onto the next step or no

does your graduation timeline make a difference for full time hiring? If suppose I were to graduate in the Fall semester as opposed to spring, would most companies allow me to join as a new grad in spring?

Anybody here interested in trading referrals?

anyone know what’s going on with FB intern/coop referrals? Is it just instant rejection?

That’s crazy, I have 4 SWE internships and TA position. Not saying I deserve anything but damn.

what is a "better referral"

Does anyone know how seriously does Google take GPA into consideration for OA/interview? They've been asking for transcripts. Mine is 3.51 but have an F in a course. Lol.

Are mechanical keyboards worth it,m

I am thinking to go for a 60 percent mechanical keyboard

worthy spear
# rancid pawn Are mechanical keyboards worth it,m

In my case, I was given a MacBook pro with a shitty keyboard. I needed a better one. But I went for a regular keyboard. Mechanical keyboard personally didn't matter to me. I think getting an extra monitor can boost your productivity by a lot!

rancid pawn
#

Which keyboard did you go for?

worthy spear
# rancid pawn Which keyboard did you go for?

I bought an Apple keyboard because of its compatibility with MacBooks, and I generally like apple products. But if you're looking to get the most value out of your reimbursement, it may not be an ideal keyboard for you. Then better go for mechanical if you're into it!

digital carbon

MX master mouse and MX keys from logitech are my favorite of all time

Although a little expensive

Second on mx master. Also get a couple monitors. Mechanical keyboard is optional but they are pretty cheap nowadays as well.

hey yall

#

got my goldman sachs coderpad tomorrow

#

what should i expect?

sly drift
#

@hard plinth phone screen is easy. They gonna ask two behavioural and two easy/medium-easy questions.

#

Your code should be able to pass the given test cases

broken meteor

#

My interview was two years ago but i got two easies and a trie question

#

Trie question was final rd not cp

#

Heard its harder this yr tho

solid crag
#

damn, yall getting easy shit

#

I get DP on my goldman OA -_-

broken meteor
solid crag
broken meteor
#

damn ecnryption problem

#

ive never done that before

#

minimum sum path dp? any LC equivalent?

solid crag
#

but the minimum sum path wasn't in the form of a matrix, it's like they give you the bounds of the matrix, 2 ints as starting positions, and 2 ints as final position then 2 1d arrays represending cost to move right and cost to move down

solid crag
#

if you didn't do the question before hand, I don't think you'd get it on the OA

solid crag
#

it would get turned into abbb n first call

#

then just a on the 2nd call

broken meteor
#

hmm dont really qutie get the qusetion youre phrasing

#

but hey man, hope u get the next round

#

did u pass the test cases?

solid crag
#

for the string one yeah

#

for the DP, i didn't even do it

#

so RIP

solid crag
broken meteor
#

min pth sum

#

smth like this?

solid crag
#

basically that

#

but it's not given in that format

wicked jungle
solid crag
wicked jungle
#

first thought would be some sorta stack solution

solid crag
#

I just append everything to a new string and have a counter

#

if it reaches n. delete last n characters

#

then put the wohle thing in a while loop

#

and flag if there is a deletion during the while loop, if no deletion determinate the loop

broken meteor
#

or is backtrackign considered dp

solid crag
#

it's a variation of that question, not exactly the way it is in the one

broken meteor
#

anw im gonna try to do this qusetion

#

looks interesting

solid crag
#

in the leetcod eone you are given a matrix where M[i][j] is the value at that square

broken meteor
#

gonna attempt with dijkstras

#

brb

solid crag
#

the one I got you got 2 lists representing the cost to go right or down from that square

#

for the string one.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

string CompressWord(string word, int k){

while(1) {
    bool erase = false;
    string temp = "";
    char prev = word[0];
    int count = 0;

    for(auto &c:word){
    temp.push_back(c);
    if(c == prev){
        count++;
        if(count == k){
            temp.erase(temp.size()-k);
            count = 0;
            erase = true;
            }
        }
    else{
        prev = c;
        count = 1;
        }
    }

    if(!erase){
        return temp;
    }
    else {
        word = temp;
    }
}

}

int main(){

string first = "aba", second = "baac", third = "abbcccb";
string firstout = "aba", secondout = "bc", thirdout = "a";



cout << firstout.compare(CompressWord(first,2)) << "    " << CompressWord(first,2) << endl;
cout << secondout.compare(CompressWord(second,2)) << "    " << CompressWord(second,2) << endl;
cout << thirdout.compare(CompressWord(third,3)) << "    " << CompressWord(third,3) << endl;

}

wicked jungle
#

the min path one seems similar to the other dp grid problem that asks to count the number of paths from top left to bottom right

#

but instead of dp relation being the sum of the cell to the top and the cell to the left of curr, now its the min of the two I think

solid crag
#

I've done maybe 3-4 DP questions before. was totally not prepared for it

broken meteor
#

im an idiot i didnt se only can move down and right

#

was wondering why i got TLE

solid crag
wicked jungle
#

yeah only reason I could think of the solution for this one is because I did the other variation of the problem
for DP more than other types of problems the way to get better is to keep doing more problems so you can abstract any problem you encounter down to a recurrence relation

broken meteor
#

tried dijkstras lol

#
    def minPathSum(self, grid: List[List[int]]) -> int:
        rows, cols = len(grid), len(grid[0])
        
        start, end = (0, 0), (rows-1, cols-1)
        
        heap = [(grid[0][0], start)]
        min_cost = [[math.inf for i in range(cols)] for i in range(rows)]
        
        while heap:
            cost, to_visit = heappop(heap)
            r, c = to_visit
            min_cost[r][c] = cost
            if r == end[0] and c == end[1]:
                return cost
            
            for x, y in [(0, 1), (1, 0)]:
                r2, c2 = r + x, y + c
                
                if 0 <= r2 < rows and 0 <= c2 < cols:
                    if cost + grid[r2][c2] < min_cost[r2][c2]:
                        heappush(heap, (cost + grid[r2][c2], (r2, c2)))
        return -1```

woven quartz
#

Yeah

broken meteor
#

im thinking if theres a SW method

woven quartz
#

What i do is i have an array that keeps track of the starting index for the current continuous substring

broken meteor
#

lets say u iterate and u find letters == k

#

then u remove and reset l and r

slow breach

#

l to be index of first letter in substring -1 and r to be +1

it's so lame when job hunting is just RNG

woven quartz

True, only thing u can do is practice more to make rng less impactful

solid crag

i just wanna get into a easier company at this point lol but easier companies wont gimme OA

woven quartz
#

Theres more easy companies than ones hiring with leetcode tbh

#

They just dont pay as well

solid crag
#

im specifically looking for C++ jobs doing distributed systems so theres not as many palces hiring new grads for it

R u willing to relocate?

like if I did web or mobile i'd have way more options but I dont do web or mobile

#

or know anything about web or mobile for that matter

#

i had an android development course where we made an uber esque app and I hated that shit so much I proptly deleted android studio off my macbook the moment the course ended

#

figure distributed systems or ML/Vision is my best bet, but ML/Vision are looking for ms or above

slow breach
#

what about infra?

solid crag
#

i dont really know what the difference between infra and distributed systems is

#

like if you do data platform/infra work, it's mostly distributed systems anyway is it not?

slow breach
#

ive always thought of distributed systems as a subset of infra, like it doesnt necessarily need to be distributed

solid crag
#

i dont really know enough about the field to differentiate it

#

like I wouldnt mind getting a job at EA doing the origin store content distribution platform

#

but they wont reply to my application 😦

#

applied at valve and they told me to check back in 10 years

digital carbon

Probably spent too much on it šŸ˜›

Infra is much less application coding, more focus on tools like Terraform, provisioning resources for clusters,etc.

        d --> d --> b --> b --> c --> c --> c --> b --> d --> a --> a
        prev = d
        next = b
        prev != b --> continue fomr next
        
        d --> d --> b --> b --> b --> d --> a --> a
        prev = b
        next = b
        prev == next, try to find if k == 3 can be formed by going back to the "earliest" prev that is equals to "b"
        
        Iterate again
        d --> d --> d --> a
        prev = d
        next = d
        
        do same, repeat till aa
        
        1. Construct DLL with string
        2. Keep track of count state which increments when prev.val == next.val
        3. When count == k, remove these characters from the array
        4. Keep track of the PREVIOUS node and NEXT node of the characters that have gotten removed
        5. If PREVIOUS node == NEXT node, find the earliest prev that is equal to the character and START state counting from there again
        6. Do until next == none and return header
        
        O(N) algo (i think)```

"Effectively this job will require you to piece together in optimal and robust ways diverse components that each solve separate problems and compose a complete, high uptime solution from the individual pieces."

you can try opttimeline.com and enter your receipt date. It will tell how many cases around your receipt date had been approved already.

OOD questions instead of system design
e.g.

  1. Design the game of blackjack. Explain what data structures you would use to implement a deck of cards.
    2.Design a chat server. Provide details about the various back-end components, classes and methods? What would be the hardest problem to solve?
    3.Design a parking lot using object-oriented principles. Outline what classes and methods you would create

These types of question are meant to test ur understanding of object-oriented programming .
CTCI has good chapter that cover them - chapter 7

Microsoft gave me "Design a kitchen for a blind person" - not sure how I would categorize a question like that

This is an inside perspective so I'm not sure about how life really is for outsiders, but most of the people are semi-reserved. I believe it mostly has to do with COVID but everyone normally has an attitude that they don't want to be involved with others. I don't think anyone is explicitly cold though

Although a few of my friends have told me that they've been the target of discrimination in Seattle (food vendors ignoring them because they're Asian, random people yelling out towards them) but they've also said it rarely happens

i don’t think it’s a tech thing no @torn ferry

i mean that probably doesn’t help

but in general seattle is known for that

worthy spear
#

imo, I think it's in general. There's general hate, stereotyping, degrading, hard in general in society being Asian. Like all the stuff in news of attacks in San Francisco, or in general liberal cities (to my surprise seeing on youtube all the incidence videos even though I would have thought they would not happen to that degree of severity.) have a lot of attacks on Asians. Just being you, you have chance of getting attacked.

#

Me personally, I haven't experienced these stuff yet in Seattle. But, I just try to avoid getting in those situations.

# pulsar flower Rubrik recruiter is ass

Agreed. Very stupid technical phone screen. The recruiter said it would be an algorithm based interview, but turned out it was a network protocol problem. The interviewer talked for more than 45 mins, lol

U had an interview with rubrik?

#

Mines went pretty well but since the very beginning the recruiter has always lagged on replying to me and I usually just email them saying thank you for reaching out etc. Thank you for opportunity to interview etc.
