[topaz elk]

If you get OA alll perfect you will get immediately to final

If you pass most of OA a lot of people seem to still be getting phone

[rain patio]

is the OA a codesignal?

[topaz elk]

Nah hacckerrank

[rain patio]

oh then maybe

[topaz elk]

But these were 2022 summer posts

Yeah

[rain patio]

yeah I did the itnernship last year but it as a little differnet

[topaz elk]

By codesignal being non perfect, I mean like

700

[rain patio]

oh

wow

[topaz elk]

Yeah ik

Lol

I think I'll be fine? I got a recruiter email today telling me In still in the running

And I did the test on the weekend

[rain patio]

oh then yeah thats good

youll be fine

@glacial trail yo

did you start watching yet

[rough ruin]

yep

roblox oa is the worst thing to ever to ever grace the internet

[last belfry]

How long does Amazon take to reply with Oa?

Haven’t applied yet but wanted to know timeline

[chilly burrow]

It is rng

You can get it in days, weeks, months or never

This applies to most companies ^

[exotic oracle]

the aids deer froze for me in the 2nd part tutorial

[fervent axle]

I will never complain about anything ever again after doing this

@exotic oracle same

[stray lark]

Does everyone get video interview

With IMC?

[hexed moth]

god goldman sachs wanted so much info from me

i hope that means their oa is easy

as i barely dredged through entering all that

[raw current]

How to get recruiter reach out for NG 2023 position at Bloomberg guys??

[hexed moth]

show up outside their house

at 3 am, or try using linkedin 🙂

[raw current]

try second not working, will try first option

[chilly burrow]

yes its automatic

[jaunty snow]

Yep!

[hexed moth]

LP

[jaunty snow]

Yeah LP

Most likely

[cedar gulch]

Has anyone who applied to JP Morgan heard back after OA?

[spring ledge]

Is new grad interviewing significantly harder than intern?

In your guys experience

[winter loom]

has anyone taken an amazon interview on friday?

[vast mica]

gave Palantir karat, solved 2, gave approach for 3rd one. Do I need to do a redo ?

first 10 minutes also went fine

[sudden depot]

how did u prepare for the karat interview?

[vast mica]

you dont

its just like giving a rapid OA

[old smelt]

Did all greylock attendees get the Databricks email for priority apps?

[sudden depot]

is it like leetcode style questions?

[vast mica]

yes, but bro, seriously telling python lets you code swiftly. I used C++, and I was like on rampage mode. still didn't had enough time to even think of completing 3rd question

python is breezzzzz

god I wish I knew python

[sudden depot]

damn haha. i use java

[vast mica]

all 3 questions were string, hashmap kind of questions

nothing special

[inner prawn]

Hi fellow 2023 new graduates

[vast mica]

pls let me know, if anybody gave karat for palantir. Anyways I dont think I can perform any better using C++

[inner prawn]

Nice to meet all of you

!role-change purple

Nice

[vast mica]

seriously? wow , thank you so much bro.

should I arrange new one right away?

[inner prawn]

Dm me

[winter loom]

has anyone interviewed w amazon on friday and received an offer?

[vast mica]

just did bro, thanks a ton for your help :)

[winter loom]

i feel like its fair to email them w the fact ppl who interviewed after have gotten offers

im also curious if the interview being on a friday was a factor

is there a chance it maybe it got lost in the system?

yeah i feel like everyone i know has heard back < 5 days, so this has gotta be bs

your interviewers might have not submitted feedback or something? or idk if its a friday thing

[lament summit]

just got 772 on roblox oa

is that good enough to pass?

[split plaza]

unlikely

[last belfry]

What score is needed for Roblox and c1 Oa

[jolly raptor]

Hey, can you share your experience please? How many coding questions did they ask in each round?

[quartz needle]

I got mine confirm yestarday for 31/08

[winter loom]

do you mean you scheduled your final for 8/31?

[quartz needle]

Confirmation email for scheduling interview on 31/08

[winter loom]

got it

[vague furnace]

How do you know your score?

[quartz needle]

You completed your interview?

Oh okay mb didn’t read that

[jolly raptor]

So it was half n hr behavorial, and half n coding?

[jaunty snow]

Ig I just meant like how many test cases I passed haha

[hexed moth]

or was it 1x30

[vague furnace]

I missed 4 test cases on OA1 for Amazon, y’all think I’ll move on to the next round?

[hexed moth]

they just got back to me today oldstar lol

i havent even taken my oa yet

i applied a month ago

i wish i got the 1x30 though god damn i want that job security

[main pawn]

anyone else get like a "high volume" email from amazon after oa2

[dusty halo]

How was the OA?

[cedar gulch]

Pretty easy, took me about 30 minutes for both questions

[hushed ember]

If we pass all the test cases, do we get 1x30 ?? Is there some sort rationality as to how amazon assigns these interviews ??

[sinful tendon]

there probably is but we don’t know it

[main pawn]

2 days

just that they can't schedule interview rn cause theres high volume

[hushed ember]

Dont think so.

are there example OA2 questions that I can look just so to get an idea of that ?

[sinful tendon]

there are more correct answers

for you but not for them

[hushed ember]

Dude they spend millions of dollars to hire candidates. and definitely hella a lot of time. Why would anyone send people randomly. It doesn't make sense. Companies are extremely cautious about removing the false positives.

[sinful tendon]

i don’t think it’s anything other than candidate performance

they just want good engineers

[hushed ember]

The mail I got for OA2 asked me to brush up my skills in C, C++, Java, .... Would there be any debugging or technical questions ? Or is just they are sending some sort of an old template still now ?

[sinful tendon]

there’s coding adjacent questions

[hazy gull]

u dont needd to study much

for oa2

its common sense

[sinful tendon]

can confirm idek most of the lp’s and did fine

[tawny sparrow]

Can anyone explain contents / process of - 1x30, 2x60 and 3x45 rounds for new grads

[rain patio]

anyone know what to expect for citadel OA?

[primal pike]

first day as intern i feel sick

code so 5head

[rain patio]

ok thanks

[tawny sparrow]

😯 and is there any possibility of LC questions in round 1 - as it’s only 30 minutes it’s understandable that it’s not enough to do a code in that - although have heard of anyone asking code in 30 minute ?

Awesome, thanks!

Stepping stones with Amazon 😄

[hushed ember]

Does anyone know how things work for Figma. I'm really fond of the organisation and the product.

[simple maple]

Does anyone know the process for uber?

[buoyant herald]

Yo I want to extend my amazon offer deadline but I don't know who to contact

I just got one congrats email from a noreply with a link to the portal

[slim marsh]

Did you have the final 1*30 interview?

[buoyant herald]

nah 2x60

[slim marsh]

Behavioral plus leetcode?

[buoyant herald]

Like august 5 ish

oh damn

skill gap

jk its random lol

Nah like a week ago

[grand barn]

how did you guys prepare oa2?

[buoyant herald]

read bezos fan fiction

that's what i did

[grand barn]

😭

[trim jacinth]

any decision goes customer > deadlines > all else

[grand barn]

was there a part where you critique code or something ?

[buoyant herald]

oh snap you look familiar

[grand barn]

since they asked for brushing up on c python etc

[trim jacinth]

im just CHILLIN

[buoyant herald]

n i c e

rh cringe

[trim jacinth]

thats what i say to cope

[buoyant herald]

yeah same lol

https://tenor.com/view/crying-meme-black-guy-cries-sad-man-thank-god-for-my-reefer-hood-news-gif-24902056

[hushed ember]

If really thats the case, then you probably dont want to join such an organization. Ive already heard enough bad things about Amazon work culture on Blind. But the only reason, I'm yearning for the Amazon job is so that I have something in hand and can go to bed peacefully.

[sinful tendon]

^ doing the exact same thing

[low scroll]

is algomonster worth it?

[young peak]

I didn't get an internship in my junior year. I did freelance instead -- mainly web dev and ML. My resume is pretty mid too but its just T50 school, 2 internships, some TA exp, some freelance exp and 2 small projects

[young peak]

No amount of paid service is worth it. Do the research yourself, ask us for help and just grind normally

[hexed moth]

yeah my hope is get amazon in my pocket and reneg if i get somewhere i like

because google said nope to returning 😭

[marble bronze]

Damn, guess the freeze is really hitting different

[hexed moth]

idk

I don't think I was my best self during the internship tbh

I was pretty stressed out for the first like 2-3 weeks

I started getting into the groove towards the end, but it was my first "real" tech internship so it's whatever you live and learn

[keen zinc]

Isn’t it customer > requirements > deadlines

Yo Zon out here really making us debate their LPs

[trim jacinth]

im 90% sure you can kill requirements for deadline depending on situation for oa2

at least thats what i did and i passed lol

[keen zinc]

Gotchu

[hexed moth]

anyone do the GM oa

wait

nvm lmfao

[topaz elk]

Is seven eight auto OA

[unborn grove]

Yea i too got it just now

[slim marsh]

Me too just now

[pallid kernel]

have u guys ever outright lied on a behavioural question

[hexed moth]

yes and ill do it again

[topaz elk]

I love lying

[fallen fox]

people do it all the time lol

[hexed moth]

lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off

[pallid kernel]

what about straight up pulling a story out of your ass

👀

[hexed moth]

yes

[keen zinc]

Same

[ocean hinge]

Anyone done with the HRT oa?

[formal fable]

With amazon's major cult-like tendencies with their now 16 and counting leadership principles, if I weren't to lie, I'd be throwing away my actual engineering skills

[pallid kernel]

same

and yes i was talking about amazons interview lmao but i guess thats easy to guess since everyone is interviewing with them at the moment

not that i have any engineering skills anyways

but like, if i were being completely honest for the behavioural questions id be unable to say anything when they asked me a few of them

like "tell me about a time you invented something", bro i can barely make my bed in the morning how am i supposed to be out here inventing shit

[topaz elk]

Does seven eight actually have good pay

[formal fable]

I've worked long enough to have most of these questions sorted. But they get soo specific sometimes, it's bizarre and I don't wanna tell them that this has never happened to me. For example, I had a 60 min behavioural round where after the typical "conflict handling" and "problem solving" type question, the interviewer asked me to "tell her about a time where I made a mistake and then learnt from it". I mean... from a work POV, there's no major mistake so profound that I can talk about it for 10 mins. In most cases I have the sense to consult with all relevant people before making calls and those calls aren't mistakes, just calculated risks.

So I had to actually come up with bullshit stories on the fly which I suspect she sensed

[pallid kernel]

thankfully im stupid enough to have made at least one mistake during my internship

my lead asked me to create a bunch of jira tickets once

but i completely botched who i assigned them to

and had to redo them

[formal fable]

Yeah, I've made the same mistakes, but like 4 years ago... I don't wanna bring that up in an interview focused on my recent experience. And it'll sound too trivial in the context of my current experience

I once wiped out an entire production facing machine by running a script with the wrong argument. In hindsight, it's incredibly stupid of them to hand over sudo rights to someone 3 months out of college and that too in production. I was learning bash and unix commands at the time and it was unavoidable mistake as far as my efforts are concerned.

[pallid kernel]

i know a lot of people frown on this, but i fully write out my answers for like 50 behavioural questions and memorize them

makes the interview a bit less stressful

if i know i at least got the behavioural section covered

[formal fable]

Lol. I hope it never comes to that for me. It's only Amazon that's crazy with behaviourals. Most others seem fine.

[chilly burrow]

I do something similar

I don't write out qs

But I do think of a few stories

[pallid kernel]

oh yeah, i have my 2x60 in 2 weeks, i found a list of 50 questions they might ask and have been writing answers to them

[chilly burrow]

That fit multiple possible behav qs

[pallid kernel]

some of them are so stupid

[formal fable]

Are 2x60 supposed to be all behavioural?

[pallid kernel]

nah, 2 behavioural questions per round i heard

but they also give you a leetcode medium/hard

and i want to make that interview just a little bit stressful

i know ill be sweating so hard during that interview that trying to pull stories out of my brain will be impossible

[formal fable]

Why the distinction of 1x30 and 2x60? Is the latter supposed to compensate for less than ideal OA performance?

[pallid kernel]

yes

[fallen fox]

1x30 = you ace both oa1 + oa2

[formal fable]

OK. How long after OAs can we expect these rounds?

[pallid kernel]

the 2x60 has been stressing me out so bad its making me lose sleep

i want the job offer so bad because it would quite literally change my life

(move out of an abusive household)

[buoyant herald]

I got an offer with it that's cap

[pallid kernel]

maybe ur just smart :^)

[formal fable]

Stress less thinking about what can happen. It's your best effort, and you'll be fine either way. Do your best now, enjoy little things as you prepare and persevere long enough to get an offer. The results don't matter with enough attempts.

[buoyant herald]

Bruh if you knew me

[low scroll]

fs fs

I've never had any formal DS&A course so kinda lost on what to do

current plan is to finish this DS&A course I'm doing on udemy, grokking, then grind 75

[pallid kernel]

grokking is amazing

when i was blindly doing leetcode i didnt even realize there were patterns

then grokking taught me about sliding windows

which i used to pass the amazon OA

[keen zinc]

Grokking is hands down amazing.

[elder hull]

Just finished seven eight capital OA. They have 31 multiple choices and 1 coding.

[keen zinc]

31

[elder hull]

Multiple choices include OS, database, basic machine learning, maths

[keen zinc]

What level was the coding? Medium?

[elder hull]

one example is what is true about partitioning and replication

coding is medium yeah

don't think they will hire me so just did it when I saw the e-mail

company has less than 50 employees

[primal pike]

u lucky u got sliding window sir and not a graph

[keen zinc]

Maybe they’re “rapidly expanding”

[elder hull]

lol

[keen zinc]

I love graph qs tbh, DP and trees are my Achilles heel

[elder hull]

i think people applied only because their hr put the link on coderQuad

[pallid kernel]

yeah i got a graph question last year and i didnt do as well

theyre probably gonna ask graph questions in the interview dw

and i will bomb it dw

[keen zinc]

What’s their pay like

[elder hull]

no idea

[marble bronze]

Big

[elder hull]

how huge？

[marble bronze]

Yuuge

[elder hull]

what are the sources?

[signal trellis]

I can assure you this is not a thing. We work really closely with recruiters, and there is no negative for autofilling job applications. In fact, many recruiters would would rather you apply via autofill then not apply at all because the application is too long or tedious.

Also, they have no way of knowing that you autofilled with Simplify.

[chilly burrow]

yeah there is no way they no you autofill

its all client side

afaik

[signal trellis]

Yeah, it is. The only way they know you used Simplify is if they partner with us lol

In which case, they would rather you use Simplify anyways

We don't farm your data, here's how we think about data and privacy: https://simplify.jobs/about#privacy

[young peak]

Yeah I'm speaking from an ignorant perspective since I don't know much about the platform. I'm curious though, how does Simplify generate profit?

[hexed moth]

probably recruiters pay simplify for the system

[young peak]

This is what I thought of as well, that they just aggregate data from users and ship em off to recruiters that can use em to target good applicants

[hexed moth]

tbh

I didn't know exactly what it was

I thought it was just a button on websites

I mean, I'd imagine if a company can attract a bigger pool of applicants they're going to use it, even if it costs them some money

[signal trellis]

A lot of companies partner with us to list native postings on Simplify (ex see Fanhouse: https://simplify.jobs/c/Fanhouse), as well as to take advantage of our common app. We're in the midst of partnering with larger programs (can't share any details yet unfortunately), who also are directly processing all their applications (including ones you natively apply to) through Simplify. Schools also partner with us to supercharge their Handshake and student data (basic analytics like how many students are applying to jobs)

All in all though, we are still very early in this process and are still experimenting with what works. Right now, our main focus is on this upcoming recruiting cycle so that we can make the best features for candidates

We're really not focused that much on revenue or businesses

[young peak]

Huh so if I apply through handshake and autofill with Simplify (and let's say my school works with y'all), that my school would receive my data that they'd use for analytics or whatever purposes they'd use it for?

I love me some nice pools of data so this would be far better than the SurveyMonkey our school sends to us lmao

[signal trellis]

We have some tools that can help enhance the information that Handshake already provides schools (which btw, you guys would be surprised at how much they provide). Our platform just gives them better averaged data (not individual) on how and where their students are applying. This gives them insight on whether they should invite specific companies, invest more resources in counseling, etc.

Partner schools have already used this to invite companies to do recruiting fairs locally at their schools

[young peak]

Is this data you send exclusively through Handshake or is it simply just for any portal/job board?

[signal trellis]

Right now it is just Handshake. We haven't invested too much in this, and are still thinking about how we want to pursue this, if at all

One of our interns this summer helped us throw this together, it isn't a full offering

We're small but we pay between 22.5-35/hr (depending on location) + gym and home office/housing

lmao, this posting isn't fully up, but you can apply early here: https://simplify.jobs/p/75bc6274-c19d-441b-8cf8-6f06e0799ad4/Software-Engineer-Intern

oh we also offer company lunches daily 🙂

[young peak]

Bro where was this when I needed internships

[signal trellis]

you can also import your handshake profile onto Simplify 😉

[young peak]

How about employing me for a few weeks lmao

I do contract work in the ML space

only only profile I haven't touched longer than handshake is Piazza lmao

[pastel bane]

usually how many days should I expect to get the feedback after the first round interview?

[rain patio]

how was OA?...I did for Algo Software role and it was a total nightmare

[young peak]

This dude is cracked

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY9lJUy3nss

Bro be solving LC hards in under 10mins

[jaunty basalt]

You know he’s legit when he takes a bit longer to solve popular problems than leetcode monkeys but solves the super obscure ones in five minutes

[rain patio]

he needs to cut his hair and eat more

[gilded galleon]

does anyone know c1 tc in nyc or sf?

[vast mica]

@jagged ravine bro, till when they cancel the redo ? is it instant ? I sheduled my redo last night.

[marble bronze]

Homie the hair is his source of power

[modern socket]

what's the new grad process at bloomberg?

[jaunty snow]

Has anyone done c1 final?

[late kestrel]

mines not till 9/28 😦

[jaunty snow]

Dang, I have mine this Thursday

[late kestrel]

@modern socket this is what i was told

[modern socket]

yo tysm

interviews are all easy/med?

[late kestrel]

cant help ya there. got an initial call with a recruiter on thurs so im just starting the process

[hushed ember]

Did anyone do Seven Eight capital OA ?

[tall solar]

are you one of the engineers

ah ur the co founder

[inner prawn]

LC super easies

[velvet barn]

Hello guys, I’m just invited to take Amazon OA1 , any hints about the assessment difficulty ?

[hexed moth]

someone said it was random

[inner prawn]

It’s random

Yes I think so

I don’t see why not

Wow that’s everything other than Canada

I’ll talk to HR about this

[hexed moth]

they said fuck canada

[vast mica]

Bro, my interview just got cancelled. :)

Do you know about the next stages of the process? if yes can I dm?

[languid charm]

how long does it take for update after completeing OA2 for amazon ?

[hazy gull]

1 day iirc

or 2

[night magnet]

Same

[stoic bone]

Has anyone given IMC 30 min video interview after OA? What can we expect?

[blissful sonnet]

Yeah just got it too

Wonder what it is

[hoary kraken]

there are 9 questions...few questions I remember are - describe biggest accomplishment, time when you had failure and what action did you take to comeback from it, can time complexity be better than O(1), can linear search be faster than hash lookup, explain binary search in simple language with real world example

[inner prawn]

A mix of DS&A trivia and behavioral @blissful sonnet

Pretty easy stuff

[blissful sonnet]

Thank you

[chilly burrow]

It was like lc mediums

They asked an lc hard during the technical screen tho 😭

I didn't do it b4 so I'm not sure

I don't think it was that bad

I solved it ya

No

[topaz elk]

HRT auto right

[white escarp]

does hrt use gca?

LOL

it sounds like they do

[surreal shuttle]

Fuck HRT is sending codesignal 😭😭

[gilded dust]

Just got HRT oa 👏

[oak garden]

So sick of fking codesignal wait time

[inner prawn]

Pretty sure HRT is auto

[gilded dust]

I don’t think so

Took like 1 week to get it

[vast mica]

Nah, I dont think its auto

[sharp pumice]

Has anyone gotten the questionnaire email from Capital One not gotten a powerday invite yet? My recruiter sent the questionnaire on July 22nd, and I still haven't gotten an invite yet to powerday.

[sharp plume]

What’s the structure for 2x60 for Amazon

Will they do behavioral first and then technical or does it depend on the interviewer

[modern socket]

why does bloomberg get the phone screen to you so fast?

i applied last night and got the scheduling link this morning

[elder hull]

they also get u the result of phone within a day

[modern socket]

damn

that's how it ought to be

[modern socket]

how hard is phone?

[elder hull]

not me but my friend

he said two mediums

[inner prawn]

It’s basically auto, I think the majority of ppl get it. Faang resume screens much more

I’ve yet to see someone get resume rejected by HRT

Maybe they’re too embarrassed to share

[modern socket]

damn did he share the questions?

[dense tulip]

me too 😭

[modern socket]

lmao bruh i'm so nervous

[inner prawn]

Hiring spree rn. They have a lot of candidates so they need to move fast

[modern socket]

still ain't heard from gs, capital one, etc.

[elder hull]

he said there was one follow up that asked for morris traversal

thats all

[inner prawn]

Took me like 3 business days

[inner prawn]

No I mean specifically Bloomberg

[modern socket]

i've heard that they don't actually require optimal results for everything

[elder hull]

yeah i think his case is special

[inner prawn]

They aren’t affected by the stock market

[sharp pumice]

can i dm u

[modern socket]

how were your interviews?

[inner prawn]

Felt like they were really easy. I’ve also done 600 LC

[modern socket]

bruh i'm stressed bc my gf lives in nyc and i'm not tryna do another 6 months of long distance

[dense tulip]

sure

[modern socket]

do u remember any of them?

[inner prawn]

Yeah, a lot of hashmap related questions, and OOD as well revolving around the stock market

And optimizing speed regarding getting customers data

EM round was system design

Only one tagged

[marble bronze]

600 LC god damn

[modern socket]

can i dm?

[modern socket]

lmfao i think i have like 200 LC and then 250 on binarysearch

[inner prawn]

I’ve been LCing for over a year now, daily. The numbers rack up

[marble bronze]

Fair enough

Yeah, even 2 a day would be like 700-800 total. Hm...

Perhaps I should have begun earlier.

[inner prawn]

Sorry not accepting rn :/. I’ve been getting way too many people asking specific questions about Bloomberg interviews lol. If you do B75 + some system design prep and like top 20 tagged you’ll most likely get the offer

I felt like the interviews revolved more around communication than spitting out an optimal answer

[modern socket]

have you interviewed anywhere else?

i've passed the intern interviews at facebook, tableau, akuna, palantir, and amazon

[inner prawn]

Amazon, Google, a couple HFT’s. Cancelled a bunch of interviews after I got my offer lol

[modern socket]

is it easier than any of those?

[marble bronze]

Shoulda done them for fun

[inner prawn]

I would say easier than all except amazon, Amazon is rng so could be easier or harder. But keep in mind new grad interviews are way harder than intern one’s imo

Like for me, I felt Amazon was much much harder than Bloomberg

[modern socket]

really? i've heard that they're the same

lol palantir intern was 7 interviews and like 5 rounds for me

[inner prawn]

Most people ik reneged amazon for Bloomberg, or chose Bloomberg over amazon but ofc I could be biased

[inner prawn]

I got unlucky with an LC hard

[modern socket]

what was the LC hard?

[inner prawn]

Integer to English words

For my new grad interview

Was given like 20 minutes to solve it

[chilly burrow]

Dat q is stupid

[modern socket]

lmao

[marble bronze]

Damn

[chilly burrow]

It's just annoying

[modern socket]

that question tests nothing tbh

[inner prawn]

So it really is just rng. Have heard many ppl get straight LC easy’s for interviews

If you get an asshole interviewer it’s over

[modern socket]

that for amzn?

[inner prawn]

Yes

3x45

[chilly burrow]

Well it tests typing speed 😹

[modern socket]

eww

fuck i'm so stressed

[keen zinc]

Doing that q in java is murder

[chilly burrow]

I do all my qs in Java

[keen zinc]

Same here

Which is why I’m scared

[inner prawn]

Lol some of the comments made me laugh so hard

[chilly burrow]

Once u accept Java u wil no longr b afraid

[inner prawn]

I’ve been leetcoding in cpp and it’s not so bad lol

[last belfry]

Does anyone know how long it takes for Bloomberg phone screen? I received an email today saying your resume is currently being reviewed. They said if you have other deadlines let us know at this email but didn’t put the email lol it said (insert email)

[inner prawn]

Yeah STL is super good but I still have a lot to learn

[inner prawn]

Probably like less than a week

[last belfry]

Ty!

[chilly burrow]

It's a codesignal

If you go on the codesignal site there is a practice assessment

[inner prawn]

Yeah, GCA

[last belfry]

Also hrt oa is code signal. But only can take it in python and c++ but I want to take c1 in Java because I’m not too familiar with python or c++ do you think hrt will move my date

[chilly burrow]

You could do c1 in Java

[late kestrel]

intern oa was hackerrank im pretty sure

[chilly burrow]

Then email codesignal and ask them to disable the cool down cause you have to use a different language

[last belfry]

But I thought you can’t do gca until 14 days after the submission

Oh got it

Thank you !

Also how dif are the practice code signal to actual GCA LOL

[inner prawn]

It’s random, so it could be totally different

[last belfry]

Cool

[inner prawn]

I’ve felt that practice is usually easier though

[last belfry]

Cool

[inner prawn]

Somehow I always get insanely hard #3 and #4 lol

[last belfry]

LOL

[rain patio]

That’s just code signal

[last belfry]

Also how long does it take to receive the c1 code signal link, my portal says Oa in progress

[main pawn]

wait hrt uses codesignal now??

[inner prawn]

They need a way to filter past all you noobs

[dense blaze]

Fr

Just read some cringy jokes in the office

[tardy geode]

anyone applied for Goldman Sachs New Analyst program?

[tardy jetty]

😟

i might be cooked i started lc for new grad like a week ago

[chilly burrow]

U r fine

New grad only just started

[tardy jetty]

😓

[calm shale]

Does amzn hate me or something

[late kestrel]

yeah i dont think anyones heard anything past OA

[late kestrel]

feel that 🙂

[inner prawn]

They legit take 2-3 months to give Coderpad

Source: seen internal interview process

Absolutely terrible HR

[late kestrel]

gotcha. is that just in general any time someone applies? jw cuz no one has heard anything yet as far as ive seen

[livid pagoda]

any idea how much HRT would need on codesignal? I have a score of 812 before, should I retake or that is good enough?

[inner prawn]

For the most part, yeah. Just a very slow, inefficient process unfortunately

[keen aurora]

did any one get amazon interview survey today ?

[inner prawn]

Quora would rarely take GCA’s below 840 and they are much less selective than HRT. But YMMV

[livid pagoda]

is code signal best of all score? like can I send any score or its the last one always?

[exotic oracle]

depends how old and if they want proctored or not

[white escarp]

no your most recent score will overwrite

assuming all gca

[exotic oracle]

but if you opt to take their test it takes that score

[livid pagoda]

ah, okay. thanks.

[last belfry]

Is Roblox a gca

Or is it something different?

LOL

i have the Oa link sent to me

I heard it doesn’t run on computers

For the coding skills is it a code signal?

[calm shale]

Quora? 840? Jesus lol

[inner prawn]

Plus good internships and top university lol

For mostly paper money

[calm shale]

Goddamn

[lament summit]

damn

is 776 even good enough for roblox

[calm shale]

I never broke 800 before lol

[inner prawn]

Doesn’t roblox use some weird assessment?

[lament summit]

same

[lament summit]

its 3 parts

first two parts are literally roblox games

[inner prawn]

I’m guessing 800+ for roblox too, they are pretty selective. 200k+ NG tc

[inner prawn]

Oh ok got it

[lament summit]

776 is pretty close

[last belfry]

Wait if you select the 3rd part

Does it just send a codesignal link?

[lament summit]

ye

[last belfry]

Or once you select it you gotta take it that time

Or does it give to the same 14 days

[lament summit]

this

they give u 24 hrs

after u select it

[last belfry]

Ok

[chilly burrow]

Yes

It will get u to resume screen

[lament summit]

poog

[chilly burrow]

Resume screen is v selective tho

[fast swift]

anyone know why all of the goldman sachs new analyst locations are non-us?

[chilly burrow]

[hexed moth]

oh i just kinda meant the company my b

[primal pike]

first day job and they gave me 3 days to look for improvements in the codebase bru

[chilly burrow]

I do not

[acoustic berry]

I have a 845 CS but now I have to retake because HRT requires C++/python. Pray for me and my nonexistent c++ skill

[old smelt]

HRT is custom codesignal no?

[exotic oracle]

Same I have 842 but I spplied for the cpp role

And my cs was in python

[exotic oracle]

Nah

I checked and I can use my old score

But I did it in python but applied for cpp

[acoustic berry]

No, just says you must do it in c++/python I think

[exotic oracle]

No it says you need to match your app

[old smelt]

Ah ok is this for SWE or Algo SWE?

[acoustic berry]

SWE for me

[exotic oracle]

Just swe I think

[exotic oracle]

Gotta match with your app

[acoustic berry]

Ohhh yeah ok I just read the second half lol. I put c++ anyway so that is what I was gonna do

[exotic oracle]

Honestly I’m shocked I could even use my 842

It’s from October lol

[acoustic berry]

Lol, I think my 845 wouldn't work anyway cuz it was not proctored. It was my first CS so I didn't realize I should do it proctored

and Roblox didn't require proctoring

[keen zinc]

Does HRT require proctoring?

Did anyone do the Algo dev HRT OA?

[rough ruin]

ah i got HRT OA too

didnt do it yet

[acoustic berry]

Yes it does

Is it in the right language?

c++/python

Then if you apply to the python position you can use it probably. But there are less python roles

[keen zinc]

I’ve applied for python, but it’s not like im going to make it to the final anyway

[raw current]

Anyone here has a phone interview with Bloomberg for FT 2023 recently?

[kind orbit]

do yall put position name first or company name first for each of your experiences on your resume?

[distant rampart]

Anyone knows if microsoft does system design interviews for new grad?

[faint igloo]

just curious do u guys also apply for junior eng roles as well, thought it d be weird if the start dates nearly a year out and not a new grad posting

[hexed moth]

i said fuck it and did it anyways

experience is experience

[vast gyro]

company bigger

[formal fable]

I think I missed checking out the score on codesignal (I presumed some hackerrank like situation). Can we still see the scores after quitting the test?

[gilded dust]

Is HRT oa auto this year?

[formal fable]

Were you able to pass any cases?

[gilded dust]

Anything above 800 should be fine

[wicked pendant]

codesignal barely gives points for a question unless you get full testcases its crazy

had a practice test where i got 19/20 cases and it barely raised the score

[gilded dust]

I feel like between 800-850 code signal is really variable

[wicked pendant]

theres bounds for each set of questions you solve

[formal fable]

Lol. Same. I do believe I was close to an optimal solution as well, as my failures finally moved beyond time out, but null return, which somehow took too long to debug.

[grand glen]

alright never thought id be back here again but here i am lmfao

whats the diff btwn the 2 pinned 2023 grad repos?

[wind drum]

Ok so databricks recruiter is saying they aren't doing OA for new grads apparently

[bronze nymph]

it's byteboard (unless they changed something), i don't think it's too hard, more tedious

did the lyft one last year

[mossy niche]

No

[errant karma]

Just found out the trick to get Roblox OA is to use school email. You skip resume filter

[wind drum]

just straight to technical phone

[split plaza]

oh shit

[sudden lily]

oh W

[wind drum]

makes more sense why people are getting rejected already ig

[shut crescent]

anyone got some offers over in the bay rn?

[rustic vessel]

Dang all these databricks rejections

Anyone else just waiting for theirs?

[slim agate]

Did you have your phone scheduled?

[wind drum]

nah I was just talking to their recruiters in a Q&A webinar

[vestal pelican]

Rejections before OA??

[slim agate]

No OA for new grads apparently

[chilly burrow]

Resume filter is after oa lol

[errant karma]

This university recruiter just lied to me lol

[chilly burrow]

They even mentioned durin an event today

[surreal shuttle]

I just did OA 2 for roblox. It was fun

[vestal pelican]

The car one?

[chilly burrow]

Ya oa2 is fun

[surreal shuttle]

Yeah

[chilly burrow]

Oa1 is wak

[surreal shuttle]

I only got 2 cars for two maps.

[vestal pelican]

I gave up on the first one lol

[surreal shuttle]

How many are possible?

[errant karma]

codeSignal is always wak

[surreal shuttle]

Does the codesignal have camera?

[vestal pelican]

I got like 3 for the first one ircc and 2 for second

[errant karma]

yeah

They don't sponsor Visa though

[surreal shuttle]

I am going to write amazon OA2 in 2 hours.

[trim jacinth]

wait HRT doesn't sponsor visa?

or u talking roblox

[errant karma]

you got this

[errant karma]

ROBLOX

[trim jacinth]

interesting

[thin elbow]

Just curious y’all graduating this coming semester or spring?

[surreal shuttle]

They do sponsor as far as I know

[trim jacinth]

they sponsor interns

[vestal pelican]

first time I played Roblox in like 10+ years was for an OA lol

[errant karma]

In the event today they said they reserve sponsorship for more experienced devs

[errant karma]

interns are fine. New Grads not so much

[chilly burrow]

Got 3 for boat

Skill issu

Bot > human

[errant karma]

[errant karma]

here is the news

[marble bronze]

As long as u attend a US or Canadian Uni

[chilly burrow]

Nope

No remote

[formal matrix]

Did anyone get their amazon newgrad interview survey today?

[winter thistle]

Hey y'all if anyone's interested in data science (yes, as an undergrad too) my friend just posted a day in the life video for her internship https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8INJaa_m4Po

[vital meteor]

Is she single

Jk

[chilly burrow]

This isn't really appropriate for this channel. Maybe post in #socials

[white escarp]

Damn john is making his big move

[calm shale]

Don’t you have coco

[white escarp]

offer? 👀

if u dont get rejected after 48hrs then ur prob passed

[calm shale]

Bro where is my Amazon oa

[white escarp]

ye

amazon auto grade oa2

ye average will pass and get 2x60

nono manual

trust

👀

i just know

😛

[keen zinc]

What if I get perfect OA1 but mid OA2?

[hard coral]

Anyone who recently gave a 30 mins interview?

[sinful tendon]

fwiw it took me 5 days to hear back for 1x30

[keen zinc]

How did you attempt your OA2 kind sers

[vital meteor]

1x30 is extreme rng

You can ace the technical and not get 1x30

[keen zinc]

Just pray rng gods?

I think perfect OA1+O2 should increase the likelihood

[vital meteor]

How would you know OA2 is perfect lol

[sinful tendon]

they have some sort of scoring system im sure

[keen zinc]

I’m sure they have some way of evaluating answers. And if you score in the top 10% you get a 1x30

[sinful tendon]

score > threshold is 1x30

[keen zinc]

Ye something along those lines ^

[sinful tendon]

saying it’s rng is ridiculous

[trim jacinth]

oa2 has right answers

so you probably just have to get good scores in both to get the 30

[vital meteor]

Obv theres a scoring system lol

But how would YOU know it's the right answer

[keen zinc]

You’d not, which is why it really depends how well you do according to them

[trim jacinth]

all you can do is regurgitate LPs

customer > deadlines >> requirements >>> rest is probably decent

[keen zinc]

Probably, but the thing here is to do better than your competitors and not about getting full marks, because that’s super unlikely

[white escarp]

because YOU will tell me the answers 🤡

[vital meteor]

[balmy cape]

Can you share the list bud?, I am also in the same boat, have my interview in two weeks and knowing that I am not the only one anxious, calms me down xD.

[wind drum]

what non startup companies that pay well are even offering remote to new grads at this point, now that coinbase is doomed the only ones I can think of are Atlassian, Confluent and Brex

[white escarp]

I swear I have applied to 10x positions in Atlassian and all ghosted

[fresh lagoon]

Blend Affirm I think

[wind drum]

neither of those 2 are doing well either rip

oh true

[pallid kernel]

does anyone know how good of a performance you need to have to pass the amazon 2x60

like if i dont get a working solution on the leetcode questions but i show my thinking

[deft crow]

Damn this year is SO much harder than applying for internships last year 😭

Literally yet to receive any sort of reply other than a rejection

[old smelt]

August isn't even over yet, I wouldnt worry lol

[deft crow]

Lol yee ikik, just sadge that companies in my specialization rejecting so quickly

Still plenty of time

[lavish laurel]

Anyone know if Amazon allows new grads to work remote?

[delicate hatch]

Very good video, now I want to work at asana

[delicate hatch]

It’s team based

[fossil basin]

tips for bloomberg phone?

[dusty basin]

Should note that usually you’re still not “remote”

Most teams prefer you to at least be in the state you’re designated

[lavish laurel]

Is current location taken into account when assigning someone to a team? There is a office that is like ~30 minutes from me

[dusty basin]

No. Amazon doesn’t gaf, sadly

[lavish laurel]

Damn, that sucks

[formal fable]

Anyone here who completed HRT OA recently and was moved to the next round? (I did not yet, just looking for some timelines)

[hard flare]

brex is a startup tho

[wind drum]

yeah technically they are but since they are >10 billion valuation i feel like they're more growth stage than actual startup

[pallid kernel]

do they give housing stipend at leat

if you're pretty far away from the office u applied to

[dusty basin]

Yea

Well, u get relocation

[pallid kernel]

thats amazing

amazon is so generous

such an amazing company

[hard flare]

hmm true. stripe also offers remote (and only 10% decrease in comp for non-hcol) but not sure if they're hiring new grad

[wind drum]

oh damn fr i had no idea they were remote friendly

[fresh lagoon]

To my knowledge all of those listed remote companies do not heavily decrease comp for ur location

[wind drum]

i heard they open in late august

[main pawn]

there's only a few and its mostly returning new grads

for the remote point*

[hard flare]

i thought stripe isnt giving return offers until sept?

[main pawn]

yeah

[hard flare]

brex is more than 10%

[pallid kernel]

why would companies freeze return offers but hire new grads, it makes 0 sense

its easier to bring back people who already worked for u

instead of training new ones

[main pawn]

if they are giving return offers or hiring, most of the remote spots will go to returning new grads

[chilly burrow]

https://cscareers.dev/job-postings/a4c3cb67-1460-419c-98bd-24356383ed7b

Circle ^

[deft crow]

ig the devils advocate argument is when you extend return offers, you have to have decisions for all your interns at once whereas you don't have to do that for new grad applications

[sharp plume]

For Amazon 2x60 is it supposed to be 1 half technical and 1 half behavioral for 1 of the 60 minute interviews and then 1 full technical for the other one???

[pallid kernel]

2 behavioural and 1 leetcode PER round

from what ive heard

mine is in 2 weeks

[gilded dust]

Do you guys prefer remote or in person for full time

[pallid kernel]

remote

so i can live closer to my fiance

hes in the middle of nowhere so

[sharp plume]

Hmm

[gilded dust]

Same I prefer remote, but sadly, I don’t see a lot of new grad remote positions this year.

[sharp plume]

That is not what happened to me

[tranquil dagger]

same case here my boyfriend is in a job where u cant go remote so we r lucky to have the option

[sharp plume]

First interview was in the format you said and the second was pure technical and mans hit me with a lc hard

[pallid kernel]

christ almighty

i'd die if that happened to me

like if they give me a leetcode hard i will just simply pass away

[sharp plume]

I did die ;-;

[pallid kernel]

rip :(

i can barely solve mediums without help so yeah id be fucked with a hard

[sharp plume]

If one interview goes amazing and the other goes mid what are my chances

[pallid kernel]

i would think u got it

congrats on doing well on the first one

i always freeze when im given a coding question

[rain patio]

is this amazon 2x60 final?

[sharp plume]

Yes

[sharp plume]

Thank you

[pallid kernel]

would u say the lc medium u got on the first one was comparible in difficulty to the OA questions or harder

[rain patio]

did you get system design or OOP?

[formal fable]

Given that they hire directly if you do well on medium tier problems in the OAs, I highly doubt that they'll ask hard problems in the scenarios where you didn't do too well in the OAs. Either the problem was intended to check your problem solving strategy and not the end result, or it wasn't an actual LC hard problem. Hopefully it's the former

[chilly burrow]

Circle is remote and they just opened

[sharp plume]

Idk if I can say which problem it was but I found the exact question on lc

Also I passed all test cases for oa

[sharp plume]

Marginally Harder

Very doable

[sharp plume]

Oop

[pallid kernel]

is the oop question just checking whether or not you can use classes and oop correctly

[sharp plume]

Idk

I can’t even call the questions I got oop it was one lc med and one lc hard

[formal fable]

Interesting. I don't understand their logic for final rounds then. So far it's been inferred to be solely dependent on OA performance. IDK if there's hidden cases or resume factors

[sharp plume]

It was so weird oa was solved optimally too ;-;

[chilly burrow]

@gilded dust altho Circle has shit wlb from what I've heard

so sumting 2 keep in mind

[shell breach]

i thought my oa was wyayyy too ez, its been like a month since i took them so i forgot

maybe i just smurfed it or maybe it rly was that eazy

maybe thats why i didnt get 1x30

who knows

[paper magnet]

I just scored 729 on my code signal is it good ?

It is too many questions in so less time mannnn😓😓😓😓😓

I almost got third question but time is soooo lesss

[low scroll]

what is bloomberg process?

[formal fable]

Is this wrt HRT? I do not recall seeing any codesignal score at the end of my test. I even went back to my profile which I signed in with the same Google account as where I got the response. No history of tests

[slim agate]

Go to the pending section in your test center in codesignal iirc

It might take a day or 2 to get verified

[formal fable]

Just did. Nothing there or anywhere yet. I'm concerned if there's been a glitch in my application and somehow the accounts got messed up. Lol

[paper magnet]

Noo circle

What score is good for circle ?

[white escarp]

800?

[paper magnet]

Ohh nooo i have to improve soo much

[white escarp]

Do 1 2 4

Skip 3

[trim jacinth]

A bit, 1 2 4 in like 25 mins is like a 820

I usually do yeah

[fresh lagoon]

I think its like 839-849

Speed is honestly very small points

But 1 2 4 is a good strat if ur low on time

Or at least doing 1 2 4 before 3 is definitely smart

[hasty birch]

Yeah, 1 a day

[buoyant fable]

is it common to work at a no name company and then get into big tech within like a year?

[rain patio]

does anyone have any resource for learning how to design a 4-way traffic system?

[jolly raptor]

So u got Behavorial + LC in First Round , and Behavorial + OOP in Second Round?

[slim mortar]

can anyone send amazon server link?

[last belfry]

Does c1 recruiter before interview scheduling send a questionnaire with questions about age, grad date etc and interview dates?

[calm shale]

damn roblox first game kinda confusing

dont think i got it right

[civic summit]

slack is also remote

spotify

[split plaza]

so is slack just not recruiting non-interns this season

[civic summit]

they’re still deciding from what I last heard. but they didn’t push return offer decisions or anything so I feel like there’s a greater chance they will be hiring at least some new grads

[twin ivy]

Did anyone get the app link for figma from greylock?

[surreal shuttle]

Just finished amazon OA2

Nervous af

[split plaza]

I filled out the interest form posted in the chat, never got an app link or anything

[sharp plume]

More like Behavioral + LC in first round and just LC in second round

[rain patio]

I feel I would prefer that as an introvert who leetcodes. But it is riskier

[twin ivy]

yea same here, they opened apps yesterday so I assumed they would send the link as well. ig no special link this time

[late kestrel]

yes

[last belfry]

Ok is it weird that I never got a code signal invite but got that lol

I’m so confused

[frank wedge]

Nice to see the remnants of Charlie speak still alive in the server name lol

@tawny bloom iykyk

[vital meteor]

oh is that where its from

when i joined people were just saying nefew to new people

[rain patio]

prefix sum array?

and hashmap?

is this codeforces?

[hasty birch]

Codesignal

[rain patio]

you have input integer array of size n make the prefix sum array of size n. for each i [0, n-1], prefix[i] is the sum of integers in input up to i.

e.g. [1,2,3,4] has prefix sum [1,3,6,10]

I generally think of prefix sum, hashmaps, and sliding windows when dealing with contiguous subarrays

I don't have a solution (yet), but I think a combination of those 3 are good candidates for solutions.

[rustic vessel]

Am I dumb or is it just find sawtooth sequences with length >2 in one loop with a bit of math? You can easily find number of different ones if you have the subarray length for the sawtooth sequence

[rain patio]

can you explain?

the minimum length should be 3 right?

[rustic vessel]

Loop over keeping track of your current sawtooth sequence length. If the next one is not sawtooth sequence you check the current sequence length > 2 and reset

Then you do (n-1)(n-2)/2 to find different subarrays for that one sequence

Just find all sawtooth sequences like that?

[rain patio]

https://leetcode.com/problems/132-pattern/

I think this problem is similar.

[late kestrel]

same here. seems like a lot of ppl were invited straight into a power day for some reason

[calm shale]

damn block codesignal link doesnt work anymore

[rustic vessel]

Does this actually work? seems like it'd be problematic as something like [1, 2, 1, 2, 1] should yield 1+2+3+4 =6 instead of 3

[sonic quail]

this is o(n)

[rustic vessel]

Unless I'm interpreting the question wrong

[sonic quail]

i got that in a code signal before and you do that lol

[rustic vessel]

I'm so happy my codesignal from last year still works somehow

[sonic quail]

i retook and somehow i got an 835 solving in 48 mins vs last year i got 841 solving in 58 mins

makes no sense

[sonic quail]

you do this

[rustic vessel]

you right

[undone reef]

anyone got a resume i could look at that would pass most new grad ats lmfao

How does the Amazon portal astrology work

Like what happens to your portal post interview if you got it or didn’t get it

[buoyant herald]

I don't know how to say this without being an asshole but I'd focus on what you can control

[sharp plume]

No that’s so valid

Just very curious

[wicked pendant]

last year for amazon intern there was some shit about if your location changed to virtual location you got the offer but idk if that works for fulltime 23

[split plaza]

how long does it take to get HRT OA

[rustic vessel]

applied yesterday, got it today so I'm assuming fast

[glossy basin]

Has anyone have experience of Decomposition interview with Palantir?

I just want to know what kind of questions they ask

[buoyant herald]

What's that lol

I did a phone chat w a recruiter, is that it?

[wicked pendant]

i think decomp is just system design

just bc i had the learning, decomp, one other weird name that i forget, rounds for intern and it was learning, sys design, and leetcode

[pallid kernel]

does amazon ask for references after or just before you're hired?

[weak latch]

virtual location is just one of the possible locations you can get assigned

When your portal changes, you get assigned to a location

The default location is Seattle but it can get changed to other places like Greater Bay Area, NYC area, Boston, Austin, etc etc

[wicked pendant]

oh ya i mean like last year the portal magic shit was that it would say (city) and change to (city) virtual location

if u got offer

[winter loom]

anyone know what palantir decomp/learning is?

[wicked pendant]

dude scroll up i just said decomp was system design haha

[pallid kernel]

amazon straight up rejected me for seattle location because im not american but gave me OA for vancouver office haha

[winter loom]

whats learning tho

[pallid kernel]

sad because i really wanted to work for an american company (not for money reasons, but so i could live with my fiance in america)

[calm shale]

fucked up codesignal so hard...

sigh

[river harbor]

gave seven eight OA, 32 questions , 1 coding, rest MCQ, 45 minutes for 1 LC Easy and 30 minutes for 31 other questions

[wicked pendant]

they give u code and docs on a new concept and see how fast u understand it

[rain patio]

any self-help books on learning to learn?

[weak latch]

but if you don't know how to learn how will you learn how to learn 🤔

[rain patio]

To understand recursion…

[tardy jetty]

any books on how to be smort

[analog cloak]

hey what all is asked in amazon oa2?

[hexed moth]

leadership

[weary flax]

did you use a referral to apply to amzn?

[chilly burrow]

referral doesn't matter for Amazon new grad or intern afaik

[winter loom]

so its 0 leetcode for this round then?

[wicked pendant]

if its just decomp and learning yeah

imo both were harder than leetcode to me tho bc its pretty different

[winter loom]

damn okay

[runic wind]

Does Tesla autopilot actually pay 300K to new grads?

[fresh lagoon]

maybe you will tell us

[runic wind]

Bruh their regular swe pay is like a bit less than 150K

I'm finding it kinda hard to believe the 300K+ numbers lol

[tardy jetty]

when tesla ng open 😦

Okay so a Tesla intern told me that since elon fired literally everyone in the autopilot team recently

They are desperate for people

[wicked pendant]

uhmm thinking up an example for learning would be kinda conplicated i think haha.. but for decomp its typical sys design questions like 'how would you design a parking garage reservation website' or smth

[hushed ember]

Does anyone have an alternative to educative.io ? It's freaking 200 USD an year when I definitely don't require it for a year.

I'm trying to prepare for system design interviews.

[hasty birch]

Libgen

[hushed ember]

I wanted those grokking the system design interview videos.

[runic wind]

Um
What markets are these lmao

Even AS roles at zon/meta/goog top out at 270-280K

Yeah phd is fine, master's umm

[runic wind]

L3 AS equivalent, that is

In fact, I also heard from an intern that a master's offer topped at 400K first year with a giant sign on

[delicate hatch]

Crazy salaries… I’m sure these people live in penthouses lol

[heady pilot]

Is there anyone rejected by Microsoft? This is so fast

[keen zinc]

They already started sending rejections?

[marble bronze]

Still waiting to hear back from my referral app

[chilly burrow]

ref 4 msft doesnt mean much afaik

[heady pilot]

They send me this evening. Don't know why was rejected so fast. My intern application get reject fast either.

[rustic vessel]

Should I retake a 832 for codesignal?

[keen zinc]

How are y’all getting 800+ I’m struggling to get past 770

[chilly burrow]

no

[rustic vessel]

Do leetcode

[keen zinc]

I am sers

[chilly burrow]

jus do lc

[rustic vessel]

Like I know I can do better since I got a 841 last time

But idk if companies screen 840+ or 830+

[chilly burrow]

they dont afaik

except mayb quora

[bold pier]

Make a sacrifice to leetcode gods

[rustic vessel]

Messed up problem 3 since didn’t realize you could brute force lol

[chilly burrow]

u can??

[rustic vessel]

Well I guess the solution isn’t elegant for my problem

[chilly burrow]

no shot

ive been tryna always optimize

[rustic vessel]

O(n^4) is accepted for mine

[chilly burrow]

tryna not tme

tank u 4 dis knoledge

[rustic vessel]

Just check parameters and it tells you time complexity pretty much

https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/21344

[bold pier]

That just feels wrong 🥲 never dared to do anything worse than n^2 in my 3 years of working

[rustic vessel]

I did O(n^2) but with bugs so only got a 240/300 on that one

Think my params were a 50x50 matrix

[peak ferry]

good chart, rule of thumb is basically you want it ur complexity to evaluate to less than ~10^8 (100 million) which makes sense if you think that a CPU runs at some ghz and you have a constant factor of a few hundred

[chilly burrow]

Any advice on what to ask interviewers during question period of interviews?

I always ask shit like: why x company, what is some interesting work you've done at x, how does x compare to your past companies

Was wondering if anyone has any other good qs to ask

[rain patio]

ask them how they have demonstrated some LPs

[lament basin]

stop the cap

[timber rapids]

What was your best/most memorable day at work, and what’s the least favorite

Is usually what I asked

if they think hard about the first one and have a bs answer for the 2nd you’ll know the wlb is fked

[lament basin]

tc or wlb

[young peak]

Beyond the question itself, it's more so just how interested you can sound and how organic the convo is

I ask generic shit like "How's remote work been?", "What is a typical work day for you?" etc

but I make it a point to spend the last cells remaining in my brain to focus on what they're saying and bounce off it

[rough ruin]

I always ask them what they like most about working there

[upper meteor]

Is it bad to reschedule Amazon final interview? Mine is next week and I’m not prepared at all

[jaunty basalt]

The real question is can you reschedule

[upper meteor]

lol didn’t even think of this well it is what it is

[frigid ember]

i would be surprised if they didn’t let you

worth a shot for sure

[velvet barn]

I just finished amazon OA1 and the questions were really easy (sorting and searching). hope good for you all.

[blazing slate]

What to expect for OA2? Will it be super difficult?

[hexed moth]

oa2 is leadership principals

[tardy jetty]

are practice codesignals similar in difficulty to actual codesignal

[jaunty snow]

Anyone know how long should I expect to wait before I hear back from Amazon after OA2?

[hexed moth]

[vestal pelican]
