Meta recruiting from my school is unironically one of the reasons I chose it lol

meta and amazon recruit a lot from my school

But I knew I was gonna do something stem and when you see tech companies recruiting more from one school that another you figure it’s probably better

i always forget the master theorem lol i always need to pull up my notes on it

fluid bloom

They’re usually for loops

weak latch

so ez

#

i bet there'll be some tricky logarithmic for loop

fluid bloom
#

Ya def watch for it

weak latch
#

where it goes like for (int i = n; i >= 0; i = i / 2)

fluid bloom
#

Yup that’s log base 2

weak latch
#

would you just say yeah that's logn

fluid bloom
#

Ya

weak latch
#

or do we have to specify the base of it and/or set up a summation

#

okay nice

everyone who got OA from Scale how was your resume like? I have Amazon and Goldman but still didn't hear back

weak latch
river scroll
#

is there any chance I could get a final if I royally screwed the cog assessments for Roblox

foggy perch
#

since that's the first filter

river scroll
#

I got 827?

foggy perch
#

next is the deer std + car test which are important too

#

ok that's prob enough I think

#

depends how well you did on the cog then

#

since they do matter

river scroll
#

😢

foggy perch
#

🤷

#

I did decent on car and mediocre on deer std and got in so who knows

#

there's also a chance you get resume screened out so it's unknown

#

since it's OA -> Resume screen -> Final

eternal mortar

#

literally just do all bloomberg recent tagged lc

#

and have a good answer to "why bloomberg"

smoky lodge
#

or does the bot give you enough

sweet urchin
#

How do you view “recent” LC tagged?

foggy perch
#

I've just been using lc premium since I find it worth it

smoky lodge
#

im willing to get premium

foggy perch
#

but yeah they literally just re-use questions at bbg for leetcode

fickle bridge
#

Still no OA

foggy perch
#

so all that matters is you get good at those

#

and have a good "why bloomberg"

smoky lodge
foggy perch
#

sadly not

sweet urchin
#

Does anyone know if LC tagged bot is up to date?

old smelt
night magnet
#

If u have an interview it makes sense to just buy premium imo

#

Couple bucks for 1000x that amount TC

smoky lodge
#

The reason I’m stressing over Bloomberg so much is cuz unlike HFTs getting an offer should be well within my skill set, and unlike Jpm or Goldman it’s clearly a better offer than C1 so it’s a collossal L if blow it

#

I don’t know what it’s like this year for Jpm but these are definitely not as good as the offer i got from c1

#

And the offers I see on levels.fyi for Goldman aren’t either

the fact is that no matter how much ppl say that new grad is bloated its not. theres still very much a ton of demand relative to supply hence the high wages

people were literally gassing cisco harder in 1999 than Tesla right now

my main point is that tech stocks generally tend to be over-valued relative to metrics like earnings

so it's literally one of the shakiest forms of compensation especially if you get in at the start of a bear market

Good engineers will continue to be in demand, entry level is definitely going to get harder and harder I feel

Cuz nobody at entry level is a good swe let’s be honest

I think demand growth and growth in cs grad has been tracking pretty equally for a while

this year is just abnormal because many employers are slowing hiring for the first time in a while other than the pandemic

You can still do humanities and be in tech tho. We could really use them right now 😂

#

To do what, get rich quick? I keep seeing the same dang startups doing the same dang thing.

#

Idk I’m tired of startups and companies doing the innovation and our gov not wanting to get in on it. Like I’ll be more happy once that innovation is something like public transit being better, or hospitals having better databases.

#

Mmm love to see it, and I’ll love it more once our gov makes those things a priority.

don't get your hopes tooooo high but 1x30 is supposed to just be going over your original OA and making sure you're basically human and the one who did it

and then maybe some light behavioral

should be a pretty ez offer

hello wise people of cscareers

# weak latch is neetcode pro worth?

No, not at the moment. It only has a basic data structures course up, their system design is still "Coming Soon", we don't know yet when that "soon" could be.

$129 is lifetime tho right

so you'll get it eventually

why even trust neetcode sys design when the man isn't even old enough to do that many sys design interviews

no reason to believe so if he hasn't had to do that many tho

he could outsource the course as well tho lol

Do I renege microsoft for datadog?

Microsoft:

  • TC Year 1 & 2: 190k, 165k Year 3 and 4, 140k after prolly (assuming no promotions)
  • If I accept will leave in 2 years 100% (will be SWE 2)
  • Remote, NYC
  • 10/10 team, working on innovative product redefining Microsoft applications

Datadog

  • TC Year 1: 230k, Year 2 onwards: 175k (i am assuming based on previous return offers + no promotions, i think datadog gives refreshers)
  • If I accept, I dont know how long until I leave
  • Hybrid (3 days required I think), NYC
  • ?/10 team (have yet to work), working on very cool algorithm challenge , new team only 4 people
#

I of course will be able to further judge after I finish internship

#

but im wondering if i should even try for return offer

Datadog is a super cool company from what I've heard. I've visited the offices and it's super sick. I'd renege in a heartbeat

radix, pdt, headlands will probably come close if you have competing offers

i think most firms are competitive with one another, so they'll try to increase their offer as long as it's the same role

for example i don't think you can get a swe offer to match a quant offer
