general swe?
or another position
how was technical :D
Yeah. General swe. Technical was 1 easy, 1 easy-medium
are there any follow-ups?
Yeah. For both. But wasn’t asked to code, just think about them
Tagged. One was from nowhere but was easy
Congrats! When was your final?
My recruiter said I'll get an update soon from my coordinator today
Also in a similar boat with Amazon and Datadog
When did you have your final?
Yesterday
I had mine on Monday. I think my Hr would give me an update next week
Someone said Thursday is "debrief" so hopefully by next week right
nowhere meaning not commonly asked?
tuesday last week
anyone get amazon offer?
Woah so a lot of people are still waiting to schedule their final for summer?
does metal external do winter
tf is metal external
like the job posting on their website
lmao it auto correct didn’t to did
yea I didn’t get a chance of final
because my recruiter left
People don’t say external outside of waterlooworks 
Why’re you applying externally as well if you’ve applied on ww?
Afaik if you go to loo, you can move around your offer to any season for Meta
I prob won’t get it on ww
Haven’t gotten any interviews yet, and only BitGo and axon oa’s
have other people gotten any interviews?
datadog is out for ww
What's ww?
uwaterloo job board
I'm gonna mald so hard if I don't get meta that was one of my backups for winter 
Have u gotten any interviews yet
when do yoi guys take classes?
they make you get winter summer internships every year?
nope, but I haven't applied to any for which interviews are out
I also applied to like 20 only 
my sequence went: school, school, coop, school, coop, school, coop, school, coop, school
starting from fall 2019 to fall this year
we don't get any breaks
holy fk
lol i applied externally and they said apply thru WW but im banned from WW life is tuff
LOL
the same thing happened to bloomberg
ddog interviews are p ez
oh yea
fuck bloomberg they care about grades 
i believe its LC easy-med plus talk about a project
bloomberg gave me dp
rmbr to know everything about that project
whether its at an internship or just general
is it personal or prev experience
oh
msft gave me dp lol
like design choices, why you do that, what you tried accomplishing
personal
top down is usually enough so dp's not too bad
last time it was an easy hash map question lmao
omg what if my project sucks:(
skill issue
whats your project
if i recall correctly 45 mins for 2 questions 5 min introduction 15 mins ish project discussion and 5 mins for questions at the end
yea you could
okok
^^
okok thanks!! 👌🏻👌🏻
did u get offer or
oh noooo
cuz i didnt think they will go that in depth
ah that makes sense
like the way you decided to writr classes and shit
be like this is how i structured my functions and classes
is my linkedin recruiter not at linkedin anymore?
tried to ask for an update but not going thru
What initials
Most likely not since at least 3 recruiters left recently
Sc is not at LinkedIn anymore
oh she quit
GB too
RM
Contractors
This had to have been orchestrated
They were all on contract
is there any1 i can message?
Oh makes sense
Wait until they assign you a new one if you’re lucky
yeah ill try that /;
y wouldnt she tell me last week
if she knows that shes switching companies
If they reject fast I’ll probably know tmr 
Apparently our two day hypothesis was wrong

He said they’re doing my debrief today
Oh wtf
So it just depends on when your recruiter meets with your interviewer
lmao
u talking about ddog or linkedin
Ddog
are they calling you eod
doubt it
@summer wolf got the call the week after his debrief so
Gl
who are u talking to lol
AS
she left??
Thank god SC handed me off to an actual non contracted recruiter before she left
What a goat
lmao no as in who are u responding to in this server. these convos are so hard to track
oh i was just talking about when u got ur linkedin offer vs when ur debrief happened
yea lol mb two different convos merged into one
LinkedIn debrief last Thursday, offer yesterday
Yep
That’s why we haven’t gotten a response 😭😭
Someone had her and got a new recruiter but me you and chimi haven’t
she didnt change her linkedin tho lol
thank you 🙂
Prob should just dm that
probably yeah lol
Don’t want people spamming her
lol yea
ill try to find a general email first but ill email her if that doesnt work
u got the email righ??
yup thanks lmao
okok
I emailed her
I got error when I email her 💀
brooooooo linkedin please gib offer 🥲
When’s u interview
last thurs + fri
they said debrief today
I just realized its only 9:30 in sunnyvale
🥲
even after debrief itll probably take a few days for team matching and hr processes
Fax next week probably
yea but his debrief was last thursday
we're in this week's debrief batch so we'll probably get it next week
pain
Gl 
free offer incoming
Lfgggggg got placed under the guy who interviewed me for LinkedIn
He was so chill and seemed super smart
As in your HM or technical interviewer?
how long does ddog take to get back after final?
is it actually 2 weeks or shorter
like 1-2 weeks yea
ik someone hearing back tmr and his interview was last tuesday

ddog 
I need ddog or else i'll be internship-less for the winter

poggers, just had my final today for ddog and it went really well i think
did amazon fall through for u guys?
wdym by trolled
they didnt let any offers move to winter
even tho my recruiter said I could and having winter start dates in the app description
wack
bruh that was what they did to me lol
they literally had winter start dates in the application
team??
did u solve problems in interview?
Any ddog final finish ers 
were questions difficult
HM
wait for those who had the datadog final, yall had a junior engineer and a senior engineer interviewing you right? who was the main interviewer? for me, the senior engineer did everything and the junior interviewer just sat there
yeah
but jsons interview had the senior guy just waching
and the junior engineer doing the interview
Junior talked senior afk
bruh
Senior talked for@me
me senior talked junior afk
junior literally didnt even say a single word
didnt even introduce herself
why are all ddog interviewers robots
My senior was in the office and out of nowhere someone started playing the trumpet in the back
json was your senior's initials TB
Bro Fr I talked to someone else about this, same thing
Robotic interviewer
Man I don’t care I need a winter internship
Hell no
wb extending cb to winter
They used to allow returning as a contractor
The pay is high af too it’s like 60-70/hr
But idk if they will this year
if i didnt get my linkedin result by now, is it safe to say im rejected
It’s only 3k
did my interview on last last friday
if its 6k post tax
6k good then
its not too bad
😩😩😩
Fr pls ddog
I just planned on using the salary for housing too
Amazon housing go the craziest
7.5 post tax 😳
I think slack was giving me 9k but pre tax
manhattan or another borough
cause manhattan is like the biggest L
i might be commuting from NJ every day LOL
isnt it more liek 6.5k
Even if I need extra money that 52 an hour isn’t peanuts
since 12 weeks is like technically 3.4 months or something
i remember i saw something like that
on the amazon inern discord
Isint it like 2.8
How much is your stipend
oh yeah
16 is like 3.67 I think
I thought you got Sunnyvale
O im slow
but i remember seeing like 12 weeks is calculated as 2.6 months or something
so unfortunately we dont get 7.5k 😦
its ok like 6.3k housing for 12 weeks isnt bad
but u have to remember winter is 16 weeks
so 6k datadog will still make u take money out of your salary

Do you need to do 100% on all questions for mathworks oa to move forward?
did anyone even get an amazon winter offer yet?
Has anyone gotten rejected at LinkedIn after final?
how did you do on technical + behvorial?
tbh i dont think im getting in
got lc med/hard for me as well
i kinda want to stay in school this year because i got a big scholarship from NSF
and ill lose it if i dont go
ill just reapply next year
what are your previous internships?
Just ask to push to summer
just finished linkedin technical
idk how that went tbh
got a easy and a medium did both but def wasn't perfect code
am i doomed
how’d you do? finished question?
psst.... were they..... tagged? 
no
my interviewer was rly nice tho but idk if i have to do interview perfectly to pass
My friend got rejected yesterday. She had final this Monday
rip, how did she do on it?
do you know when she got rejected yesterday? im wondering because i never heard anything today
i also had final on monday i just realized
Late in the day. I am not sure of exactly when
oh ok when was her interview on monday?
Morning
did everyone and their mom get pathai oa
im gonna do the same because i didnt go perfect
im guessing they dont screen?
How tf do you even begin finding flags for Ramp ctf
Only?
compare to amazon winter
was it swe, backend, frontend or mobile?
did you look at the 52 something
yeah 🤡
What is the 52 for?
Ml
mobile
So if I had interview on tuesday and debrief was today, would I hear back before next thursday?
Is it for the summer or winter?
winter
Anyone get this from linkedin?
is that jaime lol
bruh
why is she not
responding to me
wdym
i thought she was the responsive one
👀 🫢
@wanton inlet she sent me the same thing last week
but have not heard anything \
has anyone heard from apple yet?
How long should I expect to wait to receive next steps if my LinkedIn phone was last Friday
what role and season is this for?
i also got the same thing last week, did you get that today?
youll be moved to summer. I would expect 1-3 weeks tbh
I had final on Monday and haven’t heard anything
my phone was 3 weeks ago 
wtf linkedin
am i getting denied? :/
what were her recruiter's initials?
does palantir do winter
wait SC recruiter left LinkedIn??
i dont think so?
- is amazon still open for winter
yes
it never was 
if I apply for databricks with different email and updated resume
what really?
should I theoretically still get the OA
actually?
should be post tax
yea they're assholes for doing that
why advertise winter if you're not letting anyone switch 
Amazon is
company
Is it possible to move amzn to winter if you have a summer offer?
Don't even ask the question. The answer is yes, it's full. Think Amazon is just slow? No, they're full. You work at the drive thru for Mickey D's and found out they just opened burger flipping internships? Full. You think people on cscareers.dev don't already know that? The job market is an all powerful, all encompassing being that knows the very inner workings of your subconscious before you were even born. Your future employer was full decades ago when the market was valuing IBM's expected future headcount based on population growth that would lead to your birth, what age you would start Leetcoding, how many times you would watch Neetcode videos, how many times you have inverted a binary tree. Any company you can think of has already been filled, even the roles you aren't thinking of. You have no original thoughts. Your consciousness is just an illusion, a product of the omniscent rat race. Free will is a myth. The job market sees all, knows all and will be there from the beginning of time until the end of the universe (the market has already filled roles for the heat death of the universe). So please, before you make a post on cscareers.dev asking whether Apple is full or Amazon has stopped hiring, know that it is already full and don't ask such a dumb fucking question again.
@ocean wasp I’m crying
why are people willing to do pathAI winter session. they said you have to be in Boston and can't take any classes
I want a winter internship but those requirements are crazy
I’ve been spamming refresh on my email so much I had to turn on notifications
they probably get a lot of students from northeastern's coop program so this makes sense
okay thx 4 letting me kno @golden hull
Praying I hear back from datadog today
for an offer?
Yea
solid when was your final?
DRW > LinkedIn 
Next year 
Man fuck this term
0 interviews no offers
😼
Summer is going well but all I need for that is a safety (or LinkedIn 🥴)
Meanwhile winter is actually a shit show
Wtf !!!
same 
still havent applied Jane street but me passing it is like winning the lottery
Which five?
Uh LinkedIn ddog figma asana and I think 1 more or 2 but I forgot
And also failed scale and stripe oas 
no databricks?
god i want winter but i think im too late for most stuff
how do you prepare for behavioral
that's literally ideal for me lol, Im not taking classes and I wanna be in a new city. diff people have diff priorities ig?
Hey guys, super noob question: can you program in mobile development/ui using c++. I saw conflicting things on the internet so I’m not sure.
i'm sure it's technically doable, but not typical, especially if you're looking for jobs
most mobile jobs are react native/flutter/swift
Anyone who did LinkedIn final hear back today?
how long does it take to hear back from hubspot after the phone interview?
took ~3 days for me
does hubspot ask system design for interns?
Yes
only for backend
coinbase
Anyone knows if meta has winter internship program in 2023?
they're full
Only for certain schools
And NEU?
I know Meta has fall internship program for NEU, not sure about winter tho.
Meta has fall for UofT too but so far only loo has winter from what I’ve seen
waterloo ftw
waterloo 
Folks I was curious how you all applied to BitGo, LinkedIn, and Duolingo?
"settle" for lyft
how was drw
facts bro, im on a L streak with final rounds too
quant final rounds are lowk hard to get over the hump
had no problem with phone rounds so far
decent
nice!
i didn't get to see much of chicago bc they asked me to do extra interviews 
rip
i thought i passed belvedere phone and they have in person final in chicago too
theyre ghosting me rn 
the way interviews were scheduled was super weird
like the number of interviews scheduled in the morning for each person was different
most had 2 (including me) but some had 3 or 4
dang
some new grads had 5-6 
was it harder in person
idt the interviews were particularly hard except for the dogshit coding challenge they made us do on the first day
that problem wasn't too hard but it was confusing and annoying af to implement
the normal interviews weren't too bad but they did cover a wide range of topics
not sure
i've heard 30-40?
i didn't get much oop (other than implementing a class for a more lc-style question) but yea i got asked sys design, some os + networking, a bit of linear algebra, a bit of python trivia (only bc i said i knew python)
Bruh when is datadog gonna give me an update
i want winter ⛄️
same

i just want this to be over soon
eh idk
i think the interviews aren't that much harder than big tech but the resume screen is harsher
like the lc is fairly similar
you just need to know more sys design + os
but like you can learn the sys design and os stuff pretty easily
system design primer and looking through examples got it clicking for me
i didnt hear back from linkedin today 😦
grind
How to get better at OS
And you’re getting DRW for sure I feel lmao
🐐
tbh i never got asked much with OS
just stuff like mutex, race conditions, deadlocks, process vs thread, basics of how a cache works
during an interview, I found that I started speaking even before the interviewer finished his sentence because he kept adding on even though I thought he finished. would this hinder my chances?
yes

its hard
I have trouble with adhd
like I cant wait to talk when I know that the other person is talking slow
im just kidding probably not
@daring osprey did u tell linkedin you have a deadline
thats a guranteed method of speeding things up
can that hurt chances
i sent an email basically saying i have a deadline, can i hear back by that date. if not it's ok
im not a recruiter so take everythign i say just from my past experience with linkedin. But i cant imagine why it would
i just say i really need the offer by this deadline please, and I can gurantee you i will accept linkedin right away without thinking about the other offer
ill be interning a second time this winter
You can only use this command in 2022_winter_intern_process, 2022_summer_intern_process, 2022_grad_process, 2022_fall_intern_process, 2023_summer_intern_process, 2023_winter_intern_process, 2023_grad_process
does databricks have a gpa cutoff
I don’t think so I think they haven’t asked for my gpa/transcript throughout the interview process
Does anyone know about full time (return offer) prospects for interns at databricks? I got an offer from them recently and don’t really know anyone who has worked there to ask about this
they asked to submit my transcript and some other info after the codesignal
cracked
oh actually? pog
When will datadog get back to me -_-
has it been 2 weeks?
also anyone know how long datadog offer is valid for after u get it
ddog and linkedin hates my guts
i wish i can get final with them

im just kid at a fruit stand
mine is definitely still at linkedin
she is like one of the main recruiters i think
it's because it's microsoft
but i heard other people of getting more success
wait what does that mean
how long has it been since ur phone?
just a week
same here but my recruiter is no longer at linkedin
L
took me a week to hear back after phone
Y’all know anything about the instabase process?
Even if your recruiter left, someone else will be assigned to you. if they aren’t reaching out then it’s just because they are backed up.
Do you have an example?
is that what happened to you?
Yeah, another person was assigned
how long did it take for them to reach out?
Fuck bro gimme an interview !!!
WBERE IS MY DATADOG OFFER
When did u guys interview again
This Wednesday
bro its been like 1 day lol
Howd u do in interview?
Datadog confusing
I solved both too and had a decent deep dive (i think?) and also rejected
Wtf is a deep dive
yeah that deep dive was so bad for me
technical was too easy
but bro def didnt like my deep dive answer
idk its a pretty arbitrary scale
but it seemed like the interviewer didnt care
but o well
hope for the best
WHERE IS MY DATADOG OFFER
in the case that i do get ddog offer for winter
do u think theyll let me push
to summer
if i do get ddog i wanna push it to summer and just do linkedin winter ddog summer
json u were at jpm this summer?
I’m pretty sure they’ll let you move it
I’m planning on doing the same if I get LinkedIn
what'd u do at jpm?
how many questions did u guys have for ddog
2
i also had 2 but the second one had a folowup
Like 👀
btw datadog offer only lasts 1 week
tf??
how does one even get unghosted datadog 

@worldly mountain how long has it been since your final for LinkedIn?
i never did linkedin final
HAHAHAHAH
it's been 10 years
no bro
i did it 2 wednesdays ago
I took final and haven’t heard back 😦
9/14
god i want datadog so bad
reading this article now 100% sure im reneging amazon for ddog if i get
surely they let me push
U can’t really prep either u know ur project in depth cuz u did it or ur capping and it’s easy to tell
anyone know any part time remote internships for winter/spring 2023
i know bolt and tesla did part time this year
idek if bolt is open rn though
Prob not lmfaoooo
Did anyone received an OA for Amazon SDE Co-op 2023 position(USA)?
Nope, seems like Amazon has only reached out to you so far
LMAO ME
i searching
anyone know any part time remote internships for winter/spring 2023
yea
name me
JM inc.
JM?
joe mama
💀
💀
👍
Are matrix questions common in coding interviews? Have you guys ever encountered them in an interview
it's dependent on company
i find grind75 doesn't cover greedy or sorting problems very well
it doesn't identify them as topics at least
google winter yet anyone?
got the canidate survey but thats it
do they reach out to people for that?
damn 😦
no
congrats btw
tyty no oa yet tho so idk
where do you apply for it then
there is a winter 2023 posting, you just apply and if a recruiter is interested they send the survey out and ask for transcripts and stuff
really? i don't see it on google careers
o
damn
yeah I think only summer is open
Around now is when Google sent me an OA for Winter last year
oa monday 
they do things in a weird order for fall I got the oa and survey at the same time
@slow valve have u gotten the survey?
oh he deferred from fall?
bro I passed interviews back in January 
the survey im talking about is sent at the start of the process
summer 22
jeez
has anyone done the nuro "coding systems" interview before?
bruh i like forgot about google winter lol
how op is your resume that you get so many callbacks
i have 3 internships and i still didnt get the survey
I applied with docusign coinbase and incoming slack
and uh 2 no name part time swe stuff
I’m tryna be like juster too 
u have more goated offers 
my goal in life is to have a stacked resume like justin
i hope i can be like wagons next year with amazon on my resume

u hav gogl
SAME
I have LinkedIn + amazon and I didn’t hear back from anyone for summer 2023 internships
75+ applications
But it’s all good cause I got a good intern role at 20 person company making a lot of money rn
I did do epic games final
But in the technical they just asked animation questions
no hft?
i feel like quant firms recruit a lot of people that have faang/big n on their resume
bc not a lot pass
Feel like your wording might be affecting it?
Anyhow it’s RNG
yield protection
is linkedin bar high in terms of interviews aka do you need a perfect technical interview to pass?
Nah I have 2 other internships at midsize companies as well and competed in robotics
Depends but not always
felt like i vibed w both interviewers but made some mistakes / missed some stuff while coding
sigh
When did you do final
thursday
Yeah just RNG then
It’s gonna take 1-2 weeks to hear back fyi
i asked them to expedite bc deadline
is there a list of '23 winter internships like the pittsc one?
they said they’ll try their best so idk
im trying to be like jack harlow and wagon

u got like 5 big n
im just dude at fruit stand
what language does datadog use?
they seem to use most popular langs in some capacity based on the repo info
well a lot of that stuff is prop libs, not their backend code tbh
monitoring
prob the top monitoring company rn
I’m sorry
I’m taking all the ddog offers
They need to pour all the money from your offers into mine to afford me
hope to see yall tmw in the datadog intern discord server 
bro if the offer only lasts for a week im hoping for a slow offer no cap!!
just accept and join doge cult 
does datadog accept extensions
when did u guys apply to datadog?
datadog applied 8/24
thing is im waiting for scale as well
would u guys do datadog or scale
scale
scale
why tf are all my interviewers berkeley/mit grads
PRAYGE
scale is sus wlb and culture I feel
yes :000000000000000 :(((((((((((((((((((
where's the server 
i think it depends someone got rejected in 2 days so they can meet with the interviewers pretty fast
but for him i think it took them a week
linkedin offer tmr
gob ear
yeah i interviewed two fridays ago, and they met last thursday
wait if they met thursday afternoon then i will also be in that batch
Prayge im not in tha tbatch
amazon offer tmr
man's was asked 2 lc hards in 25 min tech interview (first 20 min was 5 behaviorual questions)
it wasn't 25 min tho
my entire interview was like 70 mins
bc the guy probably thought it was 60 mins and was ok with it going a bit over
i want datadog so bad
i dont wanna do amazon summer
i want the nyc
experience
please daddy doggy

anyone hear back from tesla winter/spring?
i had mine thursday noon
who's ready to get some offers today 👀
referring ppl to meta/fb if anyone needs, shoot me a dm
You got it today?
Yea
50/50, I solved both problems but I got stuck on something for both of them
How tough is it getting at datadog?
I interned last summer at Amazon but seems not enough
I think process isn't super hard but getting an interview is hard
They resume reject people with faang
So it's better if I remove it from my resume when I apply?
No lol I’m saying that even with faang you can still not pass the screen
yes, do us all a favor and remove it from ur resume
what did you get rejected from?
Idk they don’t give feedback
My guess is either the fact that I got stuck for a bit or my resume deep dive just wasn’t impressive enough idk
winter 
Winter does suck
rejected from linkedin or ddog
Bruh cmon man I want an UPDATE
Okay I’m officially done with interviewing
that sounds like a good sign
Ddog
Sounds like offer
I got that and got the offer so you're chillin
: )
So cracked
fall 
I can’t graduate on time if I do that 😦
Ok seriously tho I think I’ll fs do li winter
But I renege Amazon for ddog or no
React if yes
React no if no
monitoring 
I feel like if you have LI you dont need amazon for resume anymore..
If you wanna go for hft next year I’d take amazon
I knowwww I agree with both Justin and palm
But also I don’t want to deal with amazon team rng
If I get a very boring team
Amazon is not even that hard to get in
Yea true
Up to you on what you want to get out of next year
It’s okay, I used up all my luck this fall anyways
Hope you get the offer tho 
does airbnb give out free food lol
aren’t they fully remote?
oop nvm
Have you guys already landed a summer internship yet
Also is it getting late to get a winter internship
yes and yes
For the amazon portal update, how were you able to tell if you got an offer was it that the location changes or was it that there is not any location showing?
is it too late to try to find a winter internship?
Location changes
anything is possible but nearly all companies are filled
They're more hard-core, no?
subjective but yeah i suppose
i interned at one lol
Is it too late to find a part time remote winter internship?
disagree, most of the big name faang companies are full but there's still a lot of companies recruiting. check for local smaller companies
isnt google winter starting
yeah you're right. I got 3 winter offers last year in late october/early november
idk i feel like this season the recruiting season started so fast
yeah agreed
no i totally agree
idk but ik 5-6 people who already got google summer offers
what
i got mine in late august
recruiters started emailing students
all of those people def got contacted by recruiters
idk what the qualifications were
js swe
does cisco do off season internships?
no lol
Yes
ik hubspot stopped accepting applications recently anyone know if ddogs done the same? j curious how full they are rn
got my final wednesday
should i be answering my phone for random numbers calling me
yeah
just answered a random call for the first time in a month and it was a company asking to schedule an interview
honestly thats kinda weird lol usually they'd email you to arrange a call
also really wonder how they came up w the name for godaddy
Ok nice
my offer is 0 
havent heard back or rej?
haven't heard back
rip
Don’t find the application. Is it closed? Could you share link if you have
how was the interview?
i think it was fine
I didn’t even apply
thats for masters
how did they get your number; did you ever apply there
Has anyone even gotten the PathAI OA hackerrank link?
j got mine this morning
received first email the 22nd
has anyone heard back from linkedin after taking the final for winter internship?
i still have not 😦
that should be a good sign?
Mine too :0
bruh
Ive been waiting as well
😫😳🙄🙄🙄
same ^^^
How long did it take for yall to hear back after submitting the hubspot oa
completed OA 9/8 got behavioral email 9/9
Thank you!
Anybody take PathAI OA yet?
yea go for it
can I dm about recruiter phone? got a friend whos got one coming up
is hubspot final system design?
if you applied for the backend position its 1 hr sys design 1 hr leetcode
if you did frontend the sysdesign is replaced with 1 hr javascript
fk system design
yeah mad annoying
LinkedIn recruiters were not working last week cuz of GHC i think
My Hr just told me she is starting to gather feedback
Its been a week! They havent even gathered feedback
bruh when’d you do your final
last mon
they take two weeks...
sure lol
what does gathering feedback mean
I guess getting notes from interviewers?
they gotta conduct customer research to see if the general public thinks its a good idea to add you to the team or not its actually a pretty large part of their process
mb you right
also i feel like it's just ghost unless offer
people are definitely getting rejections?
who got rejected after final for linkedin
ik some who have
nope not necessarily
