[latent sun]

I had to do a graph question that builds upon itself

[misty fable]

lmao

[latent sun]

and implement the graph too

[misty fable]

bruh

[latent sun]

I'm redoing it again

[misty fable]

i mean sure but not in 45mins

[latent sun]

bc they consider both sessions

no questions asked or holding against me

[misty fable]

yeah same

i also requested redo

best of luck man

[latent sun]

you too

[misty fable]

even if this doesnt work out, still really nice to get interview practice

[latent sun]

Oh yeah for sure

[peak ferry]

was it a grid graph question? I might have had the same one lol

[latent sun]

I wish lmao

like num of islands ?

[green bronze]

Does karat still ask you to choose 4/8 topics? Or is that company based?

[misty fable]

pretty proud though, last year when i applied for internships i couldnt do a single med question and just threw the towel

now i could do 1 under pressure 😎

[latent sun]

I'd clap that easy 😢 Instead I had to do some parents/child graph stuff

[peak ferry]

similar, but the last q was actually pretty hard

[latent sun]

I wish I had that one tbh

I almost completed Q2

[peak ferry]

if u complete q1&q2 and partial solve q3 I think that's enough to pass

[misty fable]

partial q2 gang

partially smart

[latent sun]

Hopefully next redo is enough

At least after this one its just two technical rounds with PLTR engineers

and then Hiring manager round

was it any of these @latent sun

[latent sun]

Nope

😦

[misty fable]

just take some alcohol to take the edge off tonight

i'll do that as well

back to LC tomorrow

[latent sun]

They seem to really really like graph questions

[peak ferry]

cheers homie I'll have a drink in solidarity

[misty fable]

i dont think i've really done medium without peeking ever so slightly on the solution

[peak ferry]

oof low key needs more grind

[misty fable]

i'd go to discussion and look at the titles and go "oh DFS"

[peak ferry]

most problems I've seen in interviews hover in the medium range

[prime palm]

wait

[misty fable]

yeah probably my own fault

[prime palm]

u alr heard back from palantir new grad

[misty fable]

yeah?

[prime palm]

damn i guess i just ass

[peak ferry]

lots of people here have done the karat

[misty fable]

they sent me interview invite like less than 12 hrs of applying

[latent sun]

Massive L Life decisions rn. I had a solid internship offer somewhere that was actually stable and good during recessions but here I am offerless after both internships

[misty fable]

[latent sun]

yeaeah

[naive chasm]

Is the Blind 75 leetcode questions here still the recommended standard for starting my leetcoding prep? https://leetcode.com/discuss/general-discussion/460599/blind-75-leetcode-questions

[misty fable]

my friend worked there this summer but dk if she gets returned or not

[prime palm]

im not asking in terms of 'idk what there is to do in nyc' i was just wondering what interns would be up 2

its endless

[prime palm]

hb naturey stuff

[naive chasm]

I have a technical phone interview with blue origin tomorrow and don't know where to start

[prime palm]

probably blind75

[pallid kernel]

i recommend grokking

i was only able to figure out the question on the amazon OA thanks to grokking

[misty fable]

nope cali i think

[latent sun]

ah okok

[misty fable]

time to settle for a 60k-er

goodbye

[naive chasm]

This? https://www.educative.io/courses/grokking-the-coding-interview

[loud stump]

[knotty folio]

[knotty folio]

yes it is GCA

[prime palm]

[prime palm]

[lament basin]

some companies max out

at a certain number

[prime palm]

o i c

srry i misinterpreted

[shrewd ivy]

chrispy did you got ge return offer?

[lament basin]

all good

[naive chasm]

Is there any difference between Grind75 and Blind75 or should I do one before the other

[lament basin]

blind75 is the og list

[hasty birch]

You can customize g75

[misty fable]

some questions are in 1 list and not the other

[lament basin]

its pretty introductory

[misty fable]

most are the same though

[prime palm]

grind75 and blind75 are by the same dude

grind75 is just more updated

75% of it is the same

[naive chasm]

[stoic bone]

Guys, I have my 2x60 Amazon next week and was a bit low on time and just wanted to know if I should put in time for System design ( design high level stuff, eg: load balancer, caching stuff) or is it LC design like LRU cache? From what I've heard from many people it's LC design and not system design, but as anyone been asked system design for new grad amazon?

[prime palm]

but as anyone been asked system design for new grad amazon?
no

[lament basin]

ahh i need to figure out that top palantir band

😭

[pallid kernel]

its possible

just do 1-2 questions to get a feel for it

https://www.educative.io/courses/grokking-the-object-oriented-design-interview/RMlM3NgjAyR

[prime palm]

do you have 4 new grad offers already

feels like it just started

i havent even had any interviews yet LOL

[lament basin]

well i was supposed to be '22 grad but i missed some requiremetns in school by accident and am graduating much later than anticipated

i can pm

[prime palm]

yea sure

[lament basin]

my situation is pretty complicated lol

[vital meteor]

Its OOD

You would have to get really unlucky to get actual system design

My email said no system design to L4

[peak ferry]

wait actually I've heard them ask REALLY weird sys design questions to ng like design a vending machine

like tf does that even mean

[vital meteor]

Yea that's more OOD though like design a parking lot

You wont have to talk about load balancers

[peak ferry]

yea ig it's more OOD, just really weird

[winter loom]

How many days after portal update does Amazon give an offer ?

[dire yarrow]

OOD weird

[hexed moth]

wait are there 5 extra hidden test cases on amazon

[pallid kernel]

yeah its OOD

seriously, read through the link i posted

that should be enough to set up a template for any OOD question they ask

even if u dont study past that

[peak ferry]

I like normal ds OOD that's like write an object that does X where X is some task you'd actually need to do in real code.

shit like make a vending machine strikes me as weird and contrived

[hexed moth]

wait someone talking about 20/20 when i only had 15 test cases

[dusty halo]

I applied with a referral and my application only shows up on amazon.jobs. Does it mean I am screwed?

[shut fulcrum]

bro I thought making it Palantir hiring manager round meant offer, the fucker threw a LC medium caught me off guard after a 30 min behavioural, just got rejection email this morning

[latent sun]

YOOOO WTFF

the fucking troll

NO WAY

I’m so sorry bro

[shut fulcrum]

"The team enjoyed speaking with you"

lmao

[latent sun]

fuck that

MankaS

[shut fulcrum]

thanks bro

[latent sun]

My boy gojo fr got jumped

fuck

[lofty tangle]

i did karat for palantir on 18 August haven;t heard back, is this a reject ?

🥲

[shut fulcrum]

u need to get 3/3 questions I think

[latent sun]

fr?

[shut fulcrum]

all the ppl I know that moved forward got 3/3

[lofty tangle]

i did karat on 17th august got 2, scheduled redo on 18th did 3/3

[shut fulcrum]

hmm

maybe ur 2nd attempt might b bad signal

[autumn ridge]

That’s wild i didn’t even get to 3 questions but did well on the 2.

[lament basin]

Gojo Ramsay

dfkm

[autumn ridge]

2 questions were solid mediums

[lament basin]

thats jokes

[latent sun]

did you pass

[autumn ridge]

Just took it today

[latent sun]

oh ok

[lofty tangle]

do we get a rejection email after karat, can someone confirm ?

[floral plank]

I did last year

For intern

It took about a week for me

[lofty tangle]

its the only company that i got call back from, interned at Meta this summer with no offer and i am international student graduating Dec 2022.

🥲

[autumn ridge]

I wonder if i should reschedule then that’s kind of a dick move by my interviewer to bc i specifically asked how many questions to manage my time and they just said at least one and we will go from their lol

[latent sun]

bro i’m sorry

[knotty folio]

Plenty more companies will open up ng soon

[slate bobcat]

That’s actually so dumb

my guy like read off a script

[peak ferry]

I got 2.5/3 and was fine

[slate bobcat]

he like you have 3 questions

[peak ferry]

Had the idea ran out of time for impl

[misty fable]

sorry what

bruh

[shut fulcrum]

yeah man

[misty fable]

i was shafted from karat just now

just an hour ago

q1: med, did it in 15-20 mins
q2: med, broken till the bitter end (he said it was on the right track but i fucked up something)
q3: didnt even see the question

[misty fable]

same boat (minus meta but also no return offer)

[prime palm]

Lul same

[misty fable]

yeah it's smiling_face_with_tear time

[vital meteor]

[misty fable]

gonna go out and buy choccy bar 😔

when one of you make it please refer me

cant make it on my own 😔

[weak latch]

who else here got bozod from return offer at their summer internship raise ur hand

nice to know im not alone 😌

[prime palm]

I hate your subway order

[misty fable]

😔

[gilded dust]

What happened

[latent sun]

Can you get me one pls

[misty fable]

i gotchu

[weak latch]

my manager did the take the L fortnite dance and said L bozo

[smoky lodge]

Skill issue

[hexed moth]

has anyone applied to duolingo yet

[smoky lodge]

[weak latch]

Gedeon im ngl bro i don't think i'll ever be able to know what's real and what's not for you because it seems like every single message you type is trolling 😭

if it's all trolling, none of it is trolling

[misty fable]

bad at what i do

[weak latch]

i got bar raised 😔 😂

[misty fable]

lower headcount didnt help either

👀

[smoky lodge]

Tbh I didn’t really need this server I’ve been leetcoding for awhile and have my own means of finding when applications open.

I am literally just here to complain and troll.

mostly complain

[misty fable]

good for you man

[weak latch]

i feel like 95% of people don't "need" this server either, but its nice to have community with similar interests and complaints 😂

but good for you bro!

[smoky lodge]

The reason I’ve been trolling so hard lately is cuz all these motherfucking pieces of shit are talking about their Amazon portals updating meanwhile I haven’t even got an OA

[prime palm]

lol

[smoky lodge]

See that’s the fun part, it isn’t guaranteed at all

[weak latch]

skill issue

nah

[autumn ridge]

Same to the no OA lol. Idk what’s going on

[weak latch]

my project was something not meant to finish, and i didn't finish as expected, and still got no return bc communication and technical skills below the bar apparently 😂

[misty fable]

it wasnt really engineered to succeed to begin with now that i have time to look back

[weak latch]

got thrown into a kubernetes team without knowing anything about containers or docker 😂, "technical skills subpar" no shit im an intern hello?

im still a little salty but 🤷 it is what it is

[misty fable]

manager/mentor didnt really suggest any project for me, then mentor changed midway

[smoky lodge]

So it was a skill issue

[misty fable]

extension got cancelled because higher up decision on the future of the team

and so on

[weak latch]

oh damn

[misty fable]

i mean i'm sure my performance played a significant part on the decision ultimately but it wasnt 100% my fault either, I think

not trying to copium

i know i have plenty room for improvement huehue

[weak latch]

my manager evaluated me all summer as return intern, so i didn't get any real negative feedback until he asked me about when i wanna return as an intern and i corrected him saying fte. The whole final meeting was just "you did good with this....but as a full time...." 😂

literal bar raise

[misty fable]

i mean i've had OA from amazon and pltr so far and neither worked

it's not like i'm set to failure

i set the bar really high kek

still early enough to be picky!

[smoky lodge]

A lot of it depends on how badly people want to work at the place you’re interning and their headcount for the following year

[weak latch]

yeah so all summer i thought i was fine

until the very very end when he hit me with that

he said i would've got return offer

for intern

but not full time

[smoky lodge]

Did you try offering your manager cocaine and/or sexual favors?

[weak latch]

yes

[misty fable]

my mgr told me i was getting extension sometime around late feb, then during the march midpoint check-in i was told "no sorry"

[smoky lodge]

L

[misty fable]

i havent been applying to jobs the entire time since i thought i secured something for summer at least

[weak latch]

bc the full time bar is higher

[smoky lodge]

I mean he’s kinda spitting though

[weak latch]

so i guess he placed me between the return intern and return full time bars

[misty fable]

so they were gonna extend you and not hire you either way

kinda ass

[smoky lodge]

Nah this manager is a giga-chad

Last moment “PSYKE you’re good not good enough for full time”

[weak latch]

nah they woulda given me a return internship for next summer, that's what he evaluated me for and he was inclined for that

[smoky lodge]

What a legend

[weak latch]

but as soon as he found out it was full time he had to be basically reconsider everything, so he raised the bar and said nope

[smoky lodge]

[misty fable]

its fine

still early for hiring season

[weak latch]

yah i still have hope

google is the dream

[smoky lodge]

Uhhhhhh about that

[misty fable]

i just wanna make more than average starting salary

[smoky lodge]

Didn’t their application close

[weak latch]

i already applied and got oa scheduled

recruiter contact op

[smoky lodge]

Oh ok bet

I thought I was about to witness a legitimate moment

[weak latch]

💀

imagine lol

msft is the dream as well but its still on app transferred a month later 😩

[shut fulcrum]

oh I am doing msft intern this fall, can refer

[lament summit]

wait what

lc in hm round wtfff

[shut fulcrum]

yee I know

[lament summit]

they told me its either decomp or learning

[misty fable]

help me out 😔

[shut fulcrum]

decomp / learning was the final rounds

[lament summit]

onsite yeah

hm they said its just another either decomp or learning

[shut fulcrum]

I heard hiring manager was a chill vibe check

oh

[weak latch]

o? 😳

[lament summit]

thats what my recruiter said

[shut fulcrum]

I think it depends on ur performance during onsite

[lament summit]

o

[shut fulcrum]

if it was borderline they gonna give u more techs

but I thought I was chill

[lament summit]

do u think u did well

my hm is tmrw

[shut fulcrum]

recruiter said this call was gonna be mostly behavioural

[lament summit]

u saying that u got lc

is freaking me out

[shut fulcrum]

so I gues prep LC anyway

[lament summit]

LOL

i was mostly doing more sys design prep

with light lc

for other interviews

[shut fulcrum]

its not traditional leetcode, its more like the kinda shit u see in a textbook on algorithms. like i am sure there is a leetcode mapping somewhere, but the question is super palantir specific

[lament summit]

ohh

so it was learning

[shut fulcrum]

no

u had to code

on hackerrank

[lament summit]

i had to code on hackerrank for my learning

[shut fulcrum]

right, but for this one, they don't tell u any new concepts

they just give u a LC problem wrapped in an essay

[lament summit]

o

[keen zinc]

When did u take it

[misty fable]

couple hrs ago

[keen zinc]

What

Damn

That was fast

[prime palm]

0:

[misty fable]

i mean i didnt get a definitive "no" but it's pretty clear

so i requested redo

[keen zinc]

Makes sense

[misty fable]

whatever i'll call it a day and practice again tomorrow

[keen zinc]

All the best! I’m waiting to hear on mine. I gave it a week ago

[misty fable]

dont know if it's the company or NG bar really is this much higher than internships

i never had more than 1 medium in any 1hr interview before

all the best for you as well

[forest hatch]

Who haven't got an Amazon portal update?

[pallid kernel]

me 😖

i interviewed on friday though so its still kinda early i think

[gilded vortex]

my amazon portal is completely broken

and I haven't gotten an email either

considering i interviewed tuesday, probably a bad sign lol

[forest hatch]

I interviewed last tuesday

Still no update

[gilded vortex]

ah we in same boat then

[pallid kernel]

its crazy because a few ppl who interviewed on friday alrdy got their portal change

it seems like theyre giving them out randomly at this rate

[azure zephyr]

what are the big tech companies in the LA area? besides snap

[pallid kernel]

or perhaps it depends on other factors

idk

prob no use tryna guess

[gilded vortex]

search em

[forest hatch]

@gilded vortex where are you located

[surreal shuttle]

https://www.builtinla.com/

[gilded vortex]

in southern cali

[forest hatch]

Do you think recruiters in certain regions update fadter

[azure zephyr]

i did, just wondering which ones hire new grads vs hiring more experienced devs

[lament summit]

riot

[nimble shore]

just got another email saying we should disregard that email. what the heck?

[stoic bone]

yeah, exactly

[old vector]

looks like neetcode is trying to become an all in one solution for interview prep

[pallid kernel]

aight its 6 pm and no portal update yet, guess we're waiting till wednesday bois

[old vector]

he has courses on his site now

[knotty talon]

https://careers.tiktok.com/position/7068740085081262350/detail is this the posting for tiktok new grad?

[dusty halo]

Alright, I applied to amazon with a referral and it took my app to amazon.jobs. I didn't see anything on student programs so I searched to job post and clicked on apply hoping it would pick up the jobs application. Now the student program dashboard says application incomplete where as the jobs portal says application submitted. Did I just royally fuck up?

[knotty talon]

they still got old postings from 2022 so im not sure if this one's good

[lament summit]

wait

was ur hm a girl or a guy

[shut fulcrum]

guy

[lament summit]

okay mines is a girl

so hopefully she doesnt do the same thing

[shut fulcrum]

lmao

I think u should be chilling

then

[lament summit]

i HOPE

[weak latch]

2023 start is only in singapore rn

https://careers.tiktok.com/position?keywords=&category=&location=&project=7129361494194735391&type=2&job_hot_flag=&current=5&limit=10&functionCategory=

[knotty talon]

aight thanks

: )

also how long after applying did people receive google OA?

[marble bronze]

I haven't received anything yet

[knotty talon]

o well

[weak latch]

amazon doesn't close for a long time

[slim marsh]

so no more updates today then huh

should i peacefully sleep?

[weak latch]

probably

then again i got my portal update at like 11 pm est 😂

[slim marsh]

omgggg

[weak latch]

sorry

[slim marsh]

well i can wait till 11

then

[weak latch]

💀 💀

just go to sleep bro

the result won't change if u check it in the morning

[slim marsh]

it's only 8:38 here rn

[weak latch]

oh

[slim marsh]

too early to sleep

[weak latch]

nvm then lol you're good

wait hold up its only 9:40? it feels like its past midnight 😂

[peak ferry]

Amazon updates shit at very random times just don’t worry about it too much

[weak latch]

^

[pallid kernel]

are tuesday portal updates a thing at all

[slim marsh]

yes i'm going to sleep without a single worry, not even a wo

[pallid kernel]

i heard its monday/wed

[slim marsh]

why they gotta torture us like this

[pallid kernel]

fr fr fr

i can barely work

[slim marsh]

ikkk can barely focus on anything else

stupidass portal

[pallid kernel]

i wish i could fast forward time by a week so i can just know right now 😭

[slim marsh]

That's how i thought on the day on interview

of*

[pallid kernel]

i need to distract myself

[peak ferry]

this season is lacking in good japanese cartoons

[slim marsh]

i'm going to spend my time imagining scenarios where i've already got the offer

[smoky lodge]

Disgusting

[slim marsh]

is not

[pallid kernel]

dude i did that all day

i even picked out what car i’m going to buy with my bonus

i need mental help

lmao

[smoky lodge]

I’m probably just gonna masturbate buy my parents something

[pallid kernel]

i don’t have a car

i live in the boonies

[slim marsh]

That's the kind of mentality we needdd!

[pallid kernel]

anyways it’ll probably be a toyota camry nothing fancy like a tesla

[slim marsh]

after the job

Only help i need is for the portal to update

thank you

[pallid kernel]

fr

[inner prawn]

That’s gotta be like an HFT bonus

[pallid kernel]

portal update would be like 5 years worth of therapy

[inner prawn]

My bonus would get me like a nice civic lol

[pallid kernel]

amazon bonus is like 10-30k right

that’s enough to help me buy a car

[slim marsh]

we have a free therapist promoter here

[smoky lodge]

350k or bust guys

[pallid kernel]

wat

[smoky lodge]

???

[pallid kernel]

💀

[slim marsh]

what even

[smoky lodge]

I would beat Bezos up and rob him if I ever saw him irl

[slim marsh]

[smoky lodge]

yes I would

[pallid kernel]

kek

[smoky lodge]

So?

you think they can stop me

I’ll beat up his security too

[inner prawn]

You’re 5’2 and 70 lbs

[pallid kernel]

yo what

that’s crazy

[vital meteor]

50k bonus

[pallid kernel]

what’s he like in person

[smoky lodge]

I’m 6’2 250 LBs

If I just bum rush Bezos out of nowhere what are they gonna do

[pallid kernel]

[smoky lodge]

Actually Bezos is probably a bigger threat than his security

Probably takes Illuminati steroids

Bezos is definitely taking at least growth hormone to muscle up I guarantee it

[vital meteor]

You could in theory get a tesla with the bonus

[pallid kernel]

i feel like all billionaires take drugs

[vital meteor]

[pallid kernel]

teslas suck

their build quality is ass

[smoky lodge]

Elon Musk also takes growth hormone but he forgot to work out

That’s why he’s built so weird

[stoic belfry]

who would win in a fight bezos or elon

[smoky lodge]

I just tried to send the pic of elon musk with his shirt off and the server immediately flagged it as porn

💀

https://tenor.com/view/funny-musk-trump-maga-politics-gif-26249219

[stoic belfry]

omg

[smoky lodge]

Literally appears to have inflated adominable organs and limbs associated with growth hormone use

Which is hilarious because that means he forgot the part where he was supposed to work out

Like he’s taking steroids but not doing enough to have an effect so he’s just killing himself

[stoic belfry]

sounds like elon

[smoky lodge]

Bro I’ve seen fat people

[pallid kernel]

30??

elon has 30 kids???

[smoky lodge]

He’s gonna die in his 50s from abusing HGH

Bro

Imagine being literally the richest man on the planet

And then taking steroids incorrectly and dying in your 50s

What a collosal L

no he’s 51

https://tenor.com/view/letter-surprise-gif-24121350

No it’s not

It is literally not photoshopped d

RiceCameLLLL

[grand barn]

[kindred ether]

The guy is 62 Years Old confirmed

Jeff Bezos is 5’4”

I had sex with him

So I know

I caused the divorce

[winter loom]

how long after amazon portal update is the offer letter

[pallid kernel]

someone needs to write a chrome extension that sends u an email when ur portal is changed kek

[terse parcel]

does anyone know what palantir's top band offer is for new grad nyc?

[winter loom]

🔥

[outer radish]

sup guys

just interned at amazon

im tryna get a big bag for new grad

whats the play for 2023 gang

[stable wharf]

AmAzON

[peak ferry]

shit sucks, zon ng offers in HCOL areas are close to the best you will likely get lol. some startups/mid sized companies pay decent bag, palantir pays decent. grind for quant swe if you want a bigger bag idk

[stable wharf]

2023 gang just tryna get employed

[outer radish]

bruh fuck

[bronze nymph]

+200, excellent advice

[peak ferry]

got some mid sized offers in the bay area that are good, but less than zon. personally I'm ok with that bc I don't like zon very much, but it's sub optimal for max TC

[stable wharf]

I want nyc real bad

[peak ferry]

same probably wont get it tho

[stable wharf]

I will find da way

Do you know da wei

[peak ferry]

nope

[stable wharf]

You got to find da wei

Jesus we’re so down bad lmao

[vital meteor]

wow

do they sponsor?

ok nvm

[smoky lodge]

Minim wage

[peak ferry]

I don't personally know the exact numbers but ye I've heard similar

[weak latch]

return offer?

[weak latch]

lob me one of those some offers tf

[peak ferry]

get those numbers up, I didn't apply to that many places and it's still more than u lol

[weak latch]

this is only the beginning 🐺

The SSNGAT is expanding

[tidal oracle]

Capital rejects once submitted, wth

[peak ferry]

lol fair enough

[lament summit]

hows 825 for codesignal

codesignal is so cheese

theres literally a strat for it

wtf

[weak latch]

is there?

other than just solving 1, 2, 4 and praying 3 isn't that bad

[lament summit]

thats the strat

[weak latch]

its not rly that much of a strat tho tbf

[lament summit]

i mean normally u would just go 1,2,3,4

[weak latch]

i move fast asf but i have a lot of trouble optimizing 4

every time ive done a practice 4 is always a quadratic algo that i needed to optimize

which is something im not great at

[latent sun]

I feel like practice code signals are harder than normal

[lament summit]

xdd

[weak latch]

also trying to do everything in python is still a bit of a learning curve

facts

more leetcode >>>

[latent sun]

my boy is like "Skill Issue"

[weak latch]

there's so many tricks to python that i don't know yet

[outer radish]

dont know yet

[weak latch]

like earlier today i had to look up how to iterate over a dict/hashmap

[outer radish]

but tbh its looking 5050

so ur boy needs back up options STAT

[weak latch]

but it was so ez lol it was just for key in map 💀

[vital meteor]

will this get me a gf

[outer radish]

naw

just big zon

[weak latch]

whens ur last day at zon? this week?

[outer radish]

yeah last day this week

yo tbh idk

[weak latch]

not getting zon return is my biggest L

so bad

[outer radish]

i didnt finish my project cause a team took a month to get back to me

[latent sun]

You in Meta?

[outer radish]

and i needed the team to give me the info to finish my project

[weak latch]

@latent sun

[outer radish]

so i got straight piped

soybean how u been

i swear its been a minute

yeah feel that

SHEESH

[weak latch]

i heard that meta is only giving returns to the top top tier interns

this year

ooo

praying for ya bro 🙏

my guy soybean is just too cracked lolololol

[vital meteor]

gl i need that meta referral

[weak latch]

cracked enough to get a whole bunch of interviews before september even

[outer radish]

yeah facts anyone giving out offers?

i mean referrals

[weak latch]

i had someone who referred me to meta but i haven't talked to him since i told him about my amazon offer back in march 😂 😂 he prolly won't appreciate me crawling back to him just for a referral

honestly i might be being a little too picky with apps

im basically only applying to companies i've actually heard of and know what they do roughly

but there's a whole lot more that i prolly haven't ever seen before that could be interesting

[latent sun]

Fun fact 40% of all meta interns did not "Meet expectations" source: one of the intern managers saw the workplace post summarizing stats

[uncut umbra]

should I write a cover letter for a referral or not

[latent sun]

Its private to intern managers

workplace group

[weak latch]

i still can't believe i didn't make a blind account bro im an idiot

i should've made one 😂

just to see the bullshit

[latent sun]

dont know what to tell ya

but its believable

knowing some interns did just give up

and the bar did get higher too

that's what I'm thinking

if that number is true 60% sounds really reasonable but it also means that they're trying to be conservative

for now until HC comes out

copium? maybe

but whatever I'm just assuming no return offer

[uncut umbra]

is GE god expectations?

or god exceeded?

yeah makes sense

[uncut umbra]

bump on this, considering not cause it's a referral and not much I can write in there lol

[lament basin]

palantir 230 before nego?

is there a $ diff between swe and fdswe

[unique ice]

Anyone know what to expect 30 mins interview /w senior engineering manager at f500 bank?

[unborn grove]

what's the best strategy to maximize codesignal score ? should we do 1,2,4,3 ?

[lament basin]

ye

[unborn grove]

ty

[azure zephyr]

behavioral more than likely

[unique ice]

I'm looking at the past discord chats, and it seems engineering manager is usually the final round

but this is my first round lol. Prior was 5 min talk with internal recruiter to set up interview date

[simple elk]

is roblox coding skills GCA?

[lament basin]

never had this, but probably something along the lines of previous work experience, tech stacks ur familiar with, projects, and ur motivations for working there

30 min not enough time for a technical round afaik

[vast rock]

Anyone knows what cisco oa looks like

Is it leetcode?

Its a 90 min OA

On SHL formerly aspiring minds

[split plaza]

yes

[smoky lodge]

Manifesting 350k starting TC

Don’t you dare me

Bitch

I will find you

[simple elk]

anyone else having problems with codesignal omitting dots in their emails?

[distant bobcat]

I have heard to try 1,2,4,3 for higher score in Codesignal. But the last time I gave the Codesignal OA, I found Q1, and Q2 are very easy, Q3 took less time than Q4. Q4 was little tricky for me.

[distant bobcat]

I got 3 easy questions for Cisco OA.

[sick steppe]

I think I might just settle for an IT job

I'm tired

[distant bobcat]

This is true. All test cases did not pass for Q4 and even if the rest 3 are all done in less time and all test cases passed, I got 771-776

[pine topaz]

MANIFESTING @pulsar mural TO KISS ME

[distant bobcat]

Has anyone heard back from Cisco after OA?

[wary pollen]

What were the questions like

[distant bobcat]

Leetcode easy

[wary pollen]

No multiple choice or anything?

[distant bobcat]

no

[simple elk]

codesignal: would you like to link myemail@gmail to the codesignal account you created with my.email@gmail?
me: yes
codesignal: an account with this email already exists

mfs don't know my.email and myemail are equivalent

[sly owl]

Did you get an offer from Palantir?

[topaz elk]

Is 827 enough for SIG?

[simple elk]

Enough to get resume looked at prolly

[topaz elk]

Hmmm

Their OA is auto.Im guessingm

I just got it

[simple elk]

I don't think its GCA tho

pretty sure its custom

[gilded vortex]

when you get pipped from uber

unlucky

[smoky lodge]

I’ve done so much coding that I think I am literally insane

[green bronze]

Cisco is open?

[split plaza]

Does Lyft do new grad

sad

[lament basin]

lfg

[hexed moth]

is that good or bad

i dont look at my portal LMAO

i just wait for an email

[knotty folio]

My school's internet just shit the bed right before my VO with Circle was supposed to start. Hopefully they'll let me reschedule

[stable wharf]

@jagged ravine did they fix their process

[bleak raven]

i still wait for amazon

[uncut umbra]

does the gm hirevue also have coding questions

or is it just a hirevue

[simple elk]

pog hope you get

[rain patio]

did anyone else get this from amazon? does this mean im going to the final round?

[fickle bridge]

Looks like it yes

[rain patio]

Bet thank you

[floral plank]

Is sig first round phone recruiter call?

[winter loom]

anyone know timeline from portal update ==> offer letter? is it just 1 day

[weak latch]

a day or two max

keep an eye on your promotions folder on gmail or your spam folder tho

[serene fable]

Anybody got any tips for the Amazon behavioral interview? Having some trouble getting my stories to work for some of the leadership principles

[candid hollow]

?

thats nothing lol

im saying

u better do rly fucking good on the cognitive

roblox is typically 840+

(some exceptions if ur rly good at cognitive)

do u want me to be nice? 🥺

make u feel good

or do u want the truth

[white escarp]

how about i just want you

👀

[candid hollow]

yea this is why im like this

spend too much time on this server and u get jaded as fuck

i gotta

[solemn tinsel]

@candid hollow is right. I'm pretty sure I got Roblox reject bc of the cognitive OA's

For me they were ig

There's a similar ecosystem one which I thought was pretty difficult

Regardless I'm pretty confident that they care mostly about cognitive

based on my experience and seeing other peoples' results

[candid hollow]

😭

u win sum u lose sum

[weak latch]

my cognitive with roblox was ass

i only came up with 1 or 2 robots 😂

guess im not very cognitively smart

[solemn tinsel]

yea I came up with 2 for the first part and 1 for the second

[weak latch]

i was the opposite, 1 for the first part 2 for the second

[gray niche]

I think I got 4 and 2

[weak latch]

the minefield made it impossible bruh, you had to have a way to see the mines and a way to dodge it, and then a way to navigate the risers

[solemn tinsel]

spend too long trying to use the grappling hook but couldn't make it work

[weak latch]

so the shield + brake wheels was basically a requirement

oh i didn't have a grappling hook wtf

[gray dagger]

What does Jane street look for 🥹

I got rejected for intern and now new grad lmao

[solemn tinsel]

perfection

[gray dagger]

Ah makes sense

[weak latch]

T10 school, 500 lc problems, 5 LC hards in 1 hour for onsite, at least 3 internships, 2 of which must be faang, 4.0 gpa

[solemn tinsel]

I did phone interview for intern, thought I did well on the problem and still got rejected

[gray dagger]

Anyone did the imc one way video interview?

[gray dagger]

I go to a T60 public school, 2 internships and one full time, no faang and 3.4 GPA 💀

Not even close

[weak latch]

im just kidding btw 😂 😂

but pretty much yeah you need to be really cracked to get JS

[wicked pendant]

my friend from our school got jane street interview actually, said they just asked meds for swe interview

[weak latch]

ooo yeah ig swe is defo easier than QR

[gray dagger]

But I actually thought interning at a unicorn would improve my chances but guess not 💀

[gray dagger]

What school do you go to

[wicked pendant]

rando state school

[gray dagger]

Is it a uc?

[wicked pendant]

nah when i say rando i mean rando LMAO

[pallid kernel]

maybe it’s good that amazon hasn’t updated my portal yet because if it was a reject it’d be already rejected at this point

right

[gray dagger]

UC’s are rando except the top 5 😮‍💨

[gray dagger]

When did you interview with them?

[pallid kernel]

friday

so it’s only really been one business day

[gray dagger]

Lmaooooo

I’ve been waiting for an OA for about a month now

[iron lily]

The square codesignal trick was patched right?

Kind of bummed because I nearly solved #4 yesterday

So I wanted to retry

[sour night]

amazon wont answer me letting me know if i have a cooldown or not

[gray dagger]

6 months is the cooldown

[sour night]

yeah but does it carry over from internship to full time?

like i got rejected after the final for their internship role and idk if that cooldown carries over to fulltime roles

[late kestrel]

7/29 😔

[gray dagger]

Yes it does

[sour night]

tyty and does the cooldown start after i got rejected or when i applied

[gray dagger]

Anyways why not just apply

If you get it you get it if not that’s cool

[sour night]

bc ill probably get insta rejected

[gray dagger]

I’ve been applying to roles that require 3+ years of experience 💀

[obsidian marsh]

you get rejected from 100% of the companies you don’t apply to

[sour night]

wait but i have a cooldown ill get insta rejected 💀 ill apply when my cooldown ends

[gray dagger]

Faxxxx

[gray dagger]

Make a new account, new email, new resume, new information

Works like a charm

[obsidian marsh]

until onboarding

[gray dagger]

Amazons AI is smart merging accounts but not as smart cause a friend of a friend did it and got an interview

[sour night]

bruh lmfao

[lapis cove]

i got roblox intern offer with like an 821 last year so its doable

[obsidian marsh]

does code signal let you use the same score with multiple companies?

[gray dagger]

Yeah I don’t know about that 😂

[lapis cove]

but dont count on it either ppl get rejected with 849

[gray dagger]

At this points all my applications feel like a total rng

[obsidian marsh]

all applications are RNG

that’s why you gotta just apply everywhere

[gray dagger]

And referrals don’t work 🥹

But anyways imc one way video interview? Anyone?

[silent turtle]

i have that pending as well

every day I receive atleast one rejection email, anyone else in same boat?

[gray dagger]

Nah I get ghosted

[lapis cove]

what about it

[gray dagger]

What’s it about

Lc style question or behavioral?

[open coral]

does anyone know how long we have to complete the IMC oa?

[gray dagger]

I don’t think there’s a deadline

[open coral]

ohh ok

[vast rock]

is amazon frozen or some shit

i havent gotten amazon oa for like

4 weeks

[fluid bloom]

Behavioral and school topics

[smoky lodge]

Anyone heard back from adobe?

[vast rock]

also does being a good former intern at amazon help lol

[fluid bloom]

More conceptual stuff

[smoky lodge]

No

[vast rock]

shit so sad

[kindred ether]

What happened ?

[smoky lodge]

Also this^

[kindred ether]

Layoff ?

[vast rock]

neo

when did u apply to adobe

also did u know adobe is team based hire

and they have new job posts every day opening and closing LOL

[smoky lodge]

L

[vast rock]

Adobe is weird as hell they have the same job post same title and description but it's for different teams that opens and closes

if you want apply to all of them

just check job ID

they different LOL

I gave up after a while

you dont

[gray dagger]

Dang I don’t remember shit

[smoky lodge]

In theory what’s company the easiest company to get 150K+ TC from in a decent area

[gray dagger]

Two sigma

Jkjk

I would say Amazon but they slowed down the hiring process

[raw wing]

amazon or cap1 (cap1 is 150 iirc?)

[jaunty basalt]

Capital one prolly hits 150 y1 in nyc

[smoky lodge]

I got the cap1 offer

[jaunty basalt]

Ain’t no way it’s recurring

[smoky lodge]

For SF it’s 142k (assuming you get the max performance bonus) idk about NYC.

[raw wing]

no sign?

i mean 142 is pretty close to 150 haha

[smoky lodge]

Sign on bonus is 15k

[smoky lodge]

I mean yes it’s an awesome offer I’m just trying to filter where else I apply lol

don’t care

[late kestrel]

2023 ng is 127k base + 15k sign for SF then? that doesnt seem much higher than 2022

[smoky lodge]

Yep

[upper meteor]

I tried that with new email and used sisters phone number still my account got merged

[inner prawn]

Bro what happened to 350k?

A guy like you could prob get a 150k offer with your eyes closed, shoot higher

[jaunty basalt]

A guy like you could prob get a 150k offer with your eyes closed, shoot higher

[raw wing]

A guy like you could prob get a 150k offer with your eyes closed, shoot higher

[smoky lodge]

It’s coming I promise

Also memes aside the c1 offer is great and I’m very lucky

[floral plank]

I think the base is a lot higher than that, 144k

[smoky lodge]

Yeah I check the pull requests like every day

It’s all preference

Personally

I don’t want a startup for my first job out of college

[grizzled bronze]

It can be, but it all depends on the interviewer

[smoky lodge]

You’d probably learn a lot but it’s too much responsibility

[rain patio]

Has anyone taken the cap 1 final round yet? How was it?

[dusky plover]

where the fck are my oas

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[pallid kernel]

yeah ive never bought stocks before

most of my income is sitting in my chequing account

[somber hamlet]

When will I receive my oa

[river harbor]

My Friend applied through referral in amazon but he got link to apply from amazon job portal and not the university portal, does he need to submit the job again through university portal as well?

[smoky lodge]

I’ve put 90% of my stuff from internships in stocks lol

[pallid kernel]

i have 0 clue how stocks work

and really havent put aside the time to learn them

so i havent invested yet

[surreal shuttle]

buy low sell high

https://leetcode.com/problems/best-time-to-buy-and-sell-stock/

[pallid kernel]

kek

[surreal shuttle]

Just do this problem, you will understand the stock market

and become the next buffett

[smoky lodge]

When will leetcode teach me how to get a girlfriend

[surreal shuttle]

https://leetcode.com/problems/3sum/

Thank me later

[pallid kernel]

u mean 2sum

[surreal shuttle]

Why have 2sum when you can have 3sum

[marble bronze]

Why 3sum when you could have 4sum

[unique forge]

Anyone received OA from JPMC - 2023 focused analytics

[inner prawn]

Can confirm this doesn’t work

That’s why I still be leetcoding

[marble bronze]

You only have 1 of the 6s

6 figures TC, 6 feet tall, forgot what the last one is actually

[vast rock]

~~6 inch ~~~ wait i didnt say that

[inner prawn]

Actually I have 2 out of 3, but you selected the wrong ones :p

[smoky lodge]

tell em'

[jaunty basalt]

I wonder where thats from

[limber vale]

What color is your tc?

[open coral]

is akuna capital oa automated?

[limber vale]

Not u that’s for sure

[smoky lodge]

there is literally nothing in life that absurd TC can't get you

like forget just sex

[inner prawn]

You speak from experience?

[smoky lodge]

if you become catholic you can just buy your way into heaven

[smoky lodge]

no

[jaunty basalt]

What color is your experience?

[sinful tendon]

would it make my dad come back from his cigarette trip

[smoky lodge]

if i were your dad and found you had high TC then yes

[sinful tendon]

will you be my dad

[smoky lodge]

hell no

i have better son options

TC also lets you buy kids

legally or illegally

[sinful tendon]

i remain fatherless

[stray lark]

Does anyone have leetcode premium

[smoky lodge]

leetcoding in general is the worst mistake you can make

you should just rely on raw intelligence in interview, always works

[slate bobcat]

yeah I usually go raw

[smoky lodge]

just explain your though process

[slate bobcat]

[lament summit]

I don’t think so

[hushed ember]

Did anyone get SIG codesignal assessment?

[uncut umbra]

I'm waiting to apply until I get my referral processed, is that a thing that takes a while or should I just apply

[sour night]

apparently spacex OA is in C++ or Python? I asked for Java so my recruiter is finding out what to do lmao

[knotty folio]

Yeah the SpaceX OA comes with both a cpp and py folder

[shut parcel]

Hey guys does moved over to another job means an offer in amazon

[raw wing]

yes

[lament summit]

CONGRATS

[hexed moth]

What's the turnaround on OA2 after OA1?

[stoic bone]

was this a FT role or internship?

[marble bronze]

Like to finals

Or to OA2

[hexed moth]

no from oa1 to oa2

[marble bronze]

Should be quick

I think I've heard most people get it soon, no personal exp

The final interview though might take a while because it seems like they're clogged up

[jaunty basalt]

[hexed moth]

hmm, i did mine really late last night though

maybe they need to sort through it like during the day

[pallid kernel]

no portal updates for zon today right

no use refreshing 500 times today

[floral plank]

Why they give 15 seconds for answering a question on imc?

Give me sometime to think lol

[lament summit]

needs to be at least 1000

the more u refresh the higher chances

[pallid kernel]

im gonna break the website at that rate

reminds me of when the grades for our university get released

and they get released at the same time for like 60k students

so everyone refreshes at the same time and suddenly the site is down

[floral plank]

Lol my physics exams were like that

We pretty much get extra time cuz everyone logs in at once at then no one can access till 20 minutes later

[late kestrel]

please anyone ive gotten one OA and one rejection email in the past week

i require more

[crystal granite]

is this a good sign

[smoky lodge]

Day 5 of waiting for an Amazon OA

[low scroll]

the submission?

[crystal granite]

portal updated after final

[low scroll]

it also changes the applied date?

[crystal granite]

yea ig it's when the recruiter moves you from general to location specific job

[stoic belfry]

is that 100%?

[crystal granite]

nyc was my top yeah

[limber vale]

I swear bro

If it wasn’t

[limber vale]

Tony got scammed

[crystal granite]

wym

oh

damn

[low scroll]

[fresh lagoon]

Maybe u were too early and under 2022 head count

Could try to ask the fake Amazon recruiters

[last belfry]

Anyone know how long it take for sig to get back after recruiter call

[delicate trench]

[prisma basin]
