[fallen mason]

Is this a good response for behavioural questions like "when did you fail"?

"Non technical people on our team weren't able to see the website in action after changes were made and commited, so we had to set up meeting times for someone to share their screen so everyone can give their inputs. Instead, I'd use a jenkins CI pipeline that converts the code into docker images and uploads them to a private repository so people can pull and run the code without downloading the necessary libraries."

I'd add more stuff and structure it better but yeah this is the general story

this is for devops / cloud

[fickle lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-zen-meditation-gif-13277341

[wary tundra]

agreed

[lapis tide]

what is the "instead" referencing

[broken whale]

Okta rejections just dropped

[lapis tide]

what if i just applied

[turbid crater]

What stage ?

[fallen mason]

hmm yeah that’s what I thought too but I was responsible for the whole backend part

pretty much anything I planned for, could’ve been devops too

maybe I should’ve planned to implement a CICD pipeline too?

Ah I see

That’s gonna be a tough question cuz idk what I have done wrong in terms of implementing stuff

Related to devops and cloud

or can it be just general backend stuff too?

Wouldn’t I get extra points for talking more about cloud dev ops stuff?

That’s a good situation

maybe I’ll just exaggerate crunching before a deadline I guess

[stable ravine]

always it does't have to be technical

[stable ravine]

also this sounds technically off

[fallen mason]

wdym, which part?

it’s a behavioural / technical with a swe

[broken whale]

SRE

[stable ravine]

non technical ppl having to install docker and then to connect to private repository to pull the image

[fallen mason]

true yeah that makes sense

technically it is easier than downloading all the libraries though

download docker and run 2 bash commands

[stable ravine]

but doesn't sound real

non IT knows shit

[fallen mason]

true

[stable ravine]

and your response to the question is wrong.

you should answer this when asked what did you improve? ; a good answer would be the team had to manually build and push the image to docker repo or ECR; I streamlined the image build and push to the repository and also automated deletion of old images through jenkins which saved us a lot of time*

Business isn't so great. Most people don't make much out of grad - usually less than what CS people are willing to settle for. And if you succeed and make it into consulting, you have atrocious hours which burn you out

I wouldn’t quit ur job to do that, even if u wanted to work in the US

Unless u had a very specific reason to do so

you can always do an online part-time master's in cs if you ever wanna go to the US

omsc is a v good program

Also I have an offer for software dev but I’m scared the company may rescind. I may also get an offer for tech consulting. If I take the tech consulting would it be harder to pivot to development?

consulting wlb is shaky tho

check company reviews

If I get the consulting job I’m planning to take it and decide if I wanna quit for the dev role if they don’t rescind by start date

[fickle lotus]

Based off the percentiles on LC for easies/mediums/hards

[lapis tide]

😳

lmao true

[fickle lotus]

40 mediums is 70th percentile lmao

[stable ravine]

depends

[drifting shore]

watch me choke my interview

[stable ravine]

I know a who has done 300+ and still doesn't know how dfs works; what is slow, fast pointer .....

most of the ppl copy paste solutions from yt(neetcode)

[fickle lotus]

how is this even possible

[stable ravine]

profile stats?

some watch neetcode videos and replicate this solution and move on to the next problem

yea

[fickle lotus]

true, I usually give myself 30-45 min to solve without looking at solution then I look at neetcode vid. Hear his explanation, try to guess what he's leading to and implement without looking at his code

[stable ravine]

I would say good enough to crack few interviews if you understand the pattern/concept

[fickle lotus]

It's worked well so far, have gotten comfortable at some patterns (i.e. can solve never before seen problems of some patterns)

[stable ravine]

while starting dp I use to spend 1 day for a problem

xD

depends on our learning capacity/ technique tho

[drifting shore]

i usually spend a few days trying every approach that i can think of

[stable ravine]

might dif from ppl to ppl

[fickle lotus]

damn, your guys' approach definitely better in the long run imo

[stable ravine]

so lke me xD

[fickle lotus]

I'm just too neurotic, need to feel like I'm progressing fast xD

[drifting shore]

brain torture everyday

[stable ravine]

idk man I'm addicted to lc now I like to do the brute force then then optimize it

neetcode directly jumps into optimal solution

but he explains the brute force tho

[stable ravine]

delulu is the solulu

[drifting shore]

me everyday

[stable ravine]

sometimes I feel like jumping off of the building but I'm kind of addicted to the intrusive thoughts; I'm not dumb enough to do that tho xD

[fickle lotus]

Hm problems have y'all solved so far?

[stable ravine]

250~ in total but I don't know how much I could actually solve without referring solutions should reset my session and speed run top 150 questions

[tiny elk]

Bruh same frfr

[stable ravine]

feels good to know that I'm not alone

[fickle lotus]

Respect, 250 especially with that method of solving is tough

[stable ravine]

no 120~ with my cur approach

[lapis tide]

[lapis tide]

@vernal sigil

[zinc knot]

honestly

the best strat is

try for 30 min on your

debug your ass off if failing

if after 30 min youre done

go to neetcode's sol if he has it

[lapis tide]

30 min on your mom

[zinc knot]

and then finish until the drawing explanation

dont watch the code

[zinc knot]

getting Ls on the discord too now

[lapis tide]

[stable ravine]

gibe me x5 offers

[drifting shore]

[fickle lotus]

@stable ravine mb bro I didn't even notice your comment above when I posted that

The juxtaposition LOL, least socially inept CS grad

[placid dawn]

how is market in montreal

[hallow sapphire]

or get a job at a large company

[lapis tide]

“Unfortunately”

[worldly ridge]

god onlyg ives the strongest battles to his most loyal followers

[hallow sapphire]

they're a bit hard if it's not through a non french company

they get mad at me

when I don't speak french even tho I'm form there

[gilded charm]

these video interviews are so stressfull

[lyric horizon]

proper topics time?

[torn tree]

I’m Canadian citizen and got it, so I don’t think it matters

[hot rapids]

[queen shuttle]

Anyone got TikTok first round vo?

[dark lintel]

[stable ravine]

[drifting shore]

[drifting shore]

For intern

[stone osprey]

Any new internships?

It’s only October but I’m starting to lose of hope of getting a summer internship

[lapis tide]

Fr

[lapis tide]

stripe was impressed

[slow warren]

Has the peak for new grad jobs already past? or is it like internships where a lot open up in january?

[hot rapids]

Might be seeing less as November/dec rolls around, but Canada will pick up for Jan since they hire later than US

[slow warren]

same true for new grad?

[hot rapids]

New grad was supposed to be booming in September but that never happened 😭

Maybe better in Jan?

[echo latch]

october offer overflow

[stable ravine]

oct almost over

delulu is the solulu

[hot rapids]

I think most recruiting timelines are like 2+ weeks. So in November it’ll dip in to Dec when ppl go on vacations

Maybe that’s why it’s hella slow rn

[fickle lotus]

yeah we typically dont follow the US big tech cycle but the number of jobs in Jan all depend on those Q1 budgets

[magic perch]

Somehow this year ng seems almost worse than last year

Just think last year there were still a few companies like Bloomberg around hiring without freeze, and most of those now have freezes/are super lowkey/higher very little

[hot rapids]

I think layoffs and hiring freezes hit “tech” companies first, then all other industries follow the trend afterwards. Those other industries also have dev jobs

Tech has a very growth oriented strategy so they feel it earlier in terms of contracting

[magic perch]

Idk what companies will tho lol

All the massive conglomerates are pausing expansions

Banks, telco, retail

[hot rapids]

I think in past years sept was pretty strong for ng right? Maybe its a bit slower this year and January will be poppin

[neon spoke]

Anyone else get rejected from that amazon sde 1 posting? I submitted last night w/ referral and got rejected immediately today lol

[stable ravine]

me

[neon spoke]

fastest faang reject i've ever gotten

[fickle lotus]

it is worse based off data, best opportunity for 2023 grads was to secure something in summer/fall 2022

do yall have non-internship experience?

[neon spoke]

i got 1.5 years FT

[stable ravine]

1yr of TA exp

[neon spoke]

[stable ravine]

[slow warren]

Zon needs to give return offers b4 they hire more bums

[vernal sigil]

[fallen mason]

bro

i just failed 2SUM

WHAT

LOL

first leetcode interview

[meager cairn]

2sum is hard

[fallen mason]

not really failed but he had to point some stuff out

2sum uses hashmap right

[eternal fossil]

ya

omfg man

how did u get an interview

and where

[fallen mason]

for some reason hashset worked lol

first leetcode interview lol

and fuck SQL

i lost it at that point

[real island]

What company?

[stable ravine]

tf

[fickle lotus]

if you havent done any leetcode thats understandable

[stable ravine]

hashset for 2 sums?

[fickle lotus]

esp in an interview setting

[fallen mason]

nah i have and i've solved 2sum like 30 times

oh nvm

it was

[fickle lotus]

oh you just blanked out then? happens

[fallen mason]

find if any 2 nums equal the target

[fallen mason]

yeah i had the sql q first

[mint gorge]

you have to use hash for it?

[fallen mason]

and i couldnt solve it

[real island]

Pretty sure hashset has keys and values no?

[fallen mason]

lost it at that point

[real island]

So it should work?

[fallen mason]

no, it's just values

[real island]

Oh damn

[fallen mason]

same time complexity as hashmap tho

[meager cairn]

well if it's find if any 2 nums equal target, a set works

[sleek meteor]

how did u get the indexes using a hashset

[meager cairn]

2sum has you return indices

[fickle lotus]

no indices

[sleek meteor]

o word

[fickle lotus]

it's a true/false ques

[real island]

I guess if you didn’t need indices you’re good

[fallen mason]

i feel so stupid lmao

[eternal fossil]

co op?

[stable ravine]

no

[meager cairn]

what language did you do the question in?

[stable ravine]

map -> key,vallues ; set->values

[fallen mason]

i thought so too till i bombed an exam cuz of that

[fallen mason]

yeah

hopefully samsung pulls through

got hp interview today as well

[meager cairn]

yea, a set is just a hashmap where the value maps to itself

[fallen mason]

bro i was solving MEDIUMS before the interview lmao

idk i just blanked out haha

2 interviewers too

fuck

[fickle lotus]

nerves can be killer, just gotta do more interviews until you stop giving a fuck

[fallen mason]

it was literally the easiest interview ever too haha

palindrome and 2sum

[eternal fossil]

3sum is literally just 2 sum + another check

[fallen mason]

literally can't think of an easier interview

[eternal fossil]

cant really go wrong

[fallen mason]

i'm 2nd yr tho so they probably went easy on me or smth

cuz i've heard they give lc medium

[stable ravine]

palindrome?

💀

did you use python?

val == val[::-1]

[junior gyro]

Has anyone heard back from Amazon yet?

Awe, I’m sure you will find something good

I applied 1 month ago with a refferal still no OA, last year got a OA in 3 days

[stable ravine]

which org?

[junior gyro]

yah intern

[junior gyro]

um its the general application

[fallen mason]

yeah but now that I think of it

I got both of them

just had trouble speaking

anyone have interview prep resources?

technical interview

like explaining what you’re thinking, etc

[echo latch]

well for lc there's neetcode

but for doing the actual interview

this person is really good: https://youtu.be/a__WNOhL2q4?si=i1ZgdT5ejqdfb1sn

this is more or less how a "perfect" technical interview would go

imo

[fallen mason]

that’s literally exactly what I’ve been looking for

tysm man

[echo latch]

nw gl

id recommend watching their other videos too and following their style

[vernal sigil]

Bc zon is ass. They have so many interns that zon isn’t worth anything. Bentley is way better bc they only hire 2 interns

[candid oxide]

neetcode is visiting loo

lool

[vernal sigil]
