The homeless have more benefits than amazon employees feelsbad

pallid quarry
#

The mall/other expensive stores around union square now keep security guards outside

wheat seal
#

It really suprises me

Amazon banana window

wheat seal
dire yarrow
#

amazon gives free bananas in seattle?

wheat seal
#

Anyone can grab

wheat seal
dusky plover
#

so what's everyone's thoughts on the general hiring season this fall

vital meteor
#

Prob because you cant sell bananas for drugs

dire yarrow
#

they must run out soon

wheat seal
dire yarrow
#

damn

#

how

wheat seal
#

That’s why I’m so shocked. I never see any homeless population there

dire yarrow
#

does amazon get so many bananas

dire yarrow
#

because if homeless don't know about it hen they won't get it

wheat seal
#

Like there’s no way

#

U miss it

#

It’s like border SLU/downtown

dire yarrow
#

oh

#

yea they should eat bananas then

#

from bezos

wheat seal
#

Also Seattle drivers suck

#

It’s like they want to run pedestrians over

#

Like im like if someone stopped walking for a sec they would’ve legit been killed

#

I see it happen a lot too

dire yarrow
#

do ppl do a lot of jaywalking in seattle?

#

They do in nyc

#

but they don't get run over

#

its drivers that get annoyed

wheat seal
dire yarrow
#

but they have to deal with it

wheat seal
#

And then they still have green light with walk signal at some intersections

dire yarrow
#

wow then it is broken

#

thats not good

wheat seal
#

That’s at multiple intersections

#

Throughout Seattle

lapis cove
#

seattle is #196 for pedestrian deaths per capita

#

austin is #70

bleak raven
dire yarrow
dire yarrow
#

I jaywalk all the time in nyc no one cares

wheat seal
lapis cove
#

1.53 deaths per 100k people per year

dire yarrow
#

I once did it in front of a police car nothing happened

bleak raven
wheat seal
#

All it takes is one bad accident

lapis cove
#

means exactly what i said lol

dire yarrow
#

how many ppl are there in seattle?

#

100k?

#

or less?

#

1 million?

primal pike
#

1k

wheat seal
lapis cove
#

lol its not

#

ur anecdote is much more irrelevant

wheat seal
#

What study

#

Whose backing it

#

How is the dating being tracked

lapis cove
dire yarrow
lapis cove
dire yarrow
#

so like 12 ppl get killed

#

in seattle

#

every year

#

by road accidents

#

yea probably

lapis cove
#

pedestrians yea

dire yarrow
#

but you gotta be smart

dire yarrow
lapis cove
#

yea ik

#

this dudes making it seem like droves are dying in the streets from cars hitting them

wheat seal
lapis cove
#

i think thats average since 2017

wheat seal
#

I don’t see what ur point is by this stastistic?

#

It just takes one accident

lapis cove
#

bruh thats dumb as shit

wheat seal
#

For you to okay maybe not die but be injured at least

lapis cove
#

it just takes one shark eating you

#

it just takes one lightning bolt hitting u

wheat seal
#

Let’s not even talk about death

chilly burrow
wheat seal
#

Let’s just talk about injuries then

dire yarrow
#

it takes 1 wrong person

lapis cove
#

i dont have that data but im sure its fairly proportionate

dire yarrow
#

it takes 1 pigeon

#

it takes 1 laptop blast

#

so stop using laptop

wheat seal
#

Alr this is silly

chilly burrow
#

It takes 1 cs major

dire yarrow
#

it takes 1 cc fraud

#

so stop using cc

wheat seal
#

My point is people driving in major cities are more likely to be angry drivers

#

How many cities are in the US?

#

There are about 20k

#

So if Seattle is 196

dire yarrow
lapis cove
#

it only considers cities with 100k pop or more

wheat seal
#

That means it’s top .01% for accidents

#

In cities

lapis cove
#

196 / 305

wheat seal
#

Okay I don’t care about that study

#

I’m just talking about large cities

fresh lagoon
wheat seal
#

Out of every city there is

#

I wasn’t trying to prove ur study bro

dire yarrow
wheat seal
#

I was just trying to make a basic statement lmao

#

I don’t see what’s hard to understand

#

Major cities have more reckless drivers than other cities

lapis cove
#

lol so are you just trying to say that ur more likely to get hit by a car inside a city vs outside a city?

wheat seal
#

Was all I was trying to say

#

I have no idea what ur trying to prove

#

196/20000

lapis cove
#

nope

#

196 / 305

wheat seal
#

There’s really nothing else to say

wheat seal
#

It’s just a study of large cities

#

Which wasn’t my point lol

#

I was talking about all cities within the us

#

Nothing related to ur study

#

I was just comparing Seattle with other cities

#

In Us

#

I don’t see what your trying to prove?

lapis cove
#

lol well i guess i agree then but thats a silly comparison

wheat seal
#

How so?

lapis cove
#

obv ur more likely to be hit by a car in seattle than in bumfuck nebraska

chilly burrow
#

This is such a stupid convo to read

wheat seal
#

Yea that’s all I was trying to say… I said Seattle drivers suck

chilly burrow
#

I am losing brain cells

wheat seal
#

And that’s facts lol

chilly burrow
#

Luther wtf r u saying

#

That because there's more ppl in Seattle I'm more likely to get hit by a car?

wheat seal
#

Wtf no lmao

#

a traffic lane is like a queue bro

#

Are u going to let 5 cars in one lane?

#

That sounds really silly

chilly burrow
#

Wtf r u talkin abt

lapis cove
#

lol i cannot with this dude

chilly burrow
#

U kno wat nvm

wheat seal
#

This wasn’t a statistic of how likely u were to get hit by a car

#

This was a statistic of how many individuals in large cities of 100k had deaths due to getting hit by a car as pedestrians

#

Completely different

#

So what ur arguing makes no sense if ur trying to use that study Soulja

#

Soulkks

#

It doesn’t prove anything lol

lapis cove
#

original discussion was seattle vs austin but w/e

wheat seal
#

And that’s not what I was even arguing for

#

All I said was Seattle drivers suck

#

And explained how some intersections are bugged

prime palm
#

Seattle is the best

#

Was there this summer

#

It was poggers

wintry sedge
#

i walked around seattle all summer, never saw a car turn when there was a pedestrian crossing the street. So i therefore think that seattle drivers are the best because i’ve seen that everywhere else I’ve been

#

@wheat seal

wheat seal
#

And I said some intersections are bugged

#

So maybe that’s why I feel that way

dire yarrow
#

Can anyone react to any messges?

wheat seal
dire yarrow
#

I don't think I can react to messages

wheat seal
#

I can

lapis cove

ok palantir Karat is graph, from my experience last year.

static moth
dire yarrow
#

They love graph/matrix dfs/ etc... problems

#

so just make sure you know all these algorithms, top. sort, matrix dfs/bfs, and other popular graph algos

smoky lodge
#

I’m too powerful for mods to do anything to me

pallid quarry
#

Yeah I had a graph bfs problem

#

I think those board game problems are good preparation

dire yarrow
#

and also be fast, coder. Palantir Karat do not care about efficiency, just fast and accurate coding. Tho, having an efficient answer is good

Last year

#

That’s wild how they haven’t changed them

eternal mortar
#

what's a good TC for LCOL city in midwest? Like comparable to a FAANG-tier offer in bay area/nyc

shrewd ocean
#

150+

eternal mortar
#

but don't some faang companies pay like 150k

#

on the lower end

shrewd ocean
#

not rlly no

wheat seal
#

Like 160k

#

Something like that

shrewd ocean
#

msft is 170

wheat seal
#

I think that’s Amazon

shrewd ocean
#

i have a friend who got return at msft for like 180

#

remote

#

but maybe thats cuz its return

wheat seal
shrewd ocean
#

ya ig then ur right

wheat seal
#

I mean senior swe at msft is paid like 200k

#

On-site

shrewd ocean
#

but u can always neg w msft

wheat seal
#

Too

shrewd ocean
#

^

wheat seal
#

A small percentage though probably?

eternal mortar
#

holy 230k is crazy

weak latch
#

Gap is auto OA right?

shrewd ocean
#

think so

#

gap is open?

weak latch
#

Because it says required June 2023 grad and I put clearly August 2023 lol

wheat seal
#

That’s not the norm

#

U realize senior swe

#

At msft is paid around there

shrewd ocean
#

msft pays more for new grads

#

thats why ppl leave after couple yrs

#

cuz progression aint it

wheat seal
#

Base package is 160k onsite

#

Here

#

Ur not getting 230k without negotiating

shrewd ocean
#

ye u prob have to neg

#

but think base is higher than 160 now tho

wheat seal
#

U mean tc?

#

160 is extremely high

#

For base

shrewd ocean
#

ah ya mean tc

wheat seal
#

But I mean I wouldn’t focus on tc so much tbh. I think getting experience in a good culture team and interesting work is most important

#

At least for me

chilly burrow

#

imma need that cash money tbh

wheat seal

But everyone has different goals ig. Money is important to me too

smoky lodge

Stay highest band on lower level earn more do less

New grad earns more than senior

jaunty basalt
#

L59 base is the same, that’s how u tell the level

#

And it was like 112

mossy niche
#

microsoft has

#

135 base

#

for new grads

#

after 6 months

#

it's op asf

#

u get 4 bonuses, which increase ur base if u start in Jan, promo period is in Sept

jaunty basalt
#

Do you get to choose where it goes to

#

Or it’s only base cuz it’s a promotion

mossy niche
#

So

#

One is Merit (Increase base)
one is promo (increase base)

#

one is cash (perform bonus)

#

and one is refresher (stock)

jaunty basalt
#

Merit is interesting nobody told me about dat

dire yarrow
jaunty basalt
#

But anyways they also give good grant if u do well in interview, 120k/4 which if u negotiate goes up to like 150/4

#

So my package came out to more than 170 without any negotiations

#

That’s pretty good, ain’t no way senior making a tiny bit more

dire yarrow
#

msft?

jaunty basalt

Yeah

Union find is still a bit to wrap my head around

but the approach ive thought of it is as a directed graph where each node of the graph has a parent, and the parent of all the nodes is the leader of the entire component

chilly burrow
teal jackal
#

union find is hard to wrap your head around in implementation

#

in theory it makes a lot of sense

#

if two nodes are going to be connected where a connection doesn't already exist, their entire components will be connected

random

rain patio
#

Ohhh

#

Gotcha

teal jackal
#

its just a term to refer for stuff that can be done/is done completely randomly

#

random number generator is what RNG stands for

dire yarrow

#

the slang use of RNG is to refer to shit thats arbitrary

I need some resume tips- do you use Overleaf (latex) or just Word/google docs

teal jackal
#

latex gang

rain patio
#

Which is best for ATS

teal jackal
#

but tbh

#

idk

#

So irrespective of whethere OG document was in overleaf or Word- if final doc is in PDF , its the same right?

teal jackal
#

punctuation and shit like bullet points and section formatting is most likely to fuck with ATS

#

ATS is just finicky

#

i have no strategy to fix it

#

all i care is that ATS picks up on the word "Amazon" on my resume

#

Idk what people here are telling you

#

But the way Word and LaTeX produce pdfs is different

#

Just becuz a word doc looks the same as a latex, and if you copy paste the output it looks the same doesn't mean it is

#

PDF parsin is rlly weird

hey sorry if if this has been asked before, but can you reuse your score from capital one or databricks codesignal for HRT?

chilly burrow
#

Yes 👍

#

It must b in Python or C++ tho

teal jackal
#

Union find is getting easier now

#

why HRT h8ing on other langs

#

cring

#

thats the only meaning

@pulsar mural you said youd change your name to yahkub simp if i got cracked offers

#

teal jackal

can you guys hype me up to do a codesignal

#

im stressed abti t

fierce river
#

Anyone who gave Circle OA?

teal jackal
#

isnt circle an auto codesignal

#

anyways

chilly burrow
#

So if u don't do it now i wastd my time

So do it 😡

teal jackal

tentative 780 codesignal

#

i really hope they dont reject it

#

50% troll moment kicking in

#

My question is why

#

Why bother interview a candidate if you know you failing them

gilded vortex
#

did you do 1 2 3 4?

teal jackal
gilded vortex
#

yeah makes sense

#

i think last year i had basically the same score cause of that

quick wraith
#

Can you practice a code signal?

teal jackal
#

What are the reason they might reject a code signal

gilded vortex
#

no idea

teal jackal
#

Would getting a glass of water from the table off screen count

gilded vortex
#

nah

teal jackal
#

Or breaking eye contact for a split second

#

I only looked up python documentation

gilded vortex
#

should be ok

teal jackal
#

And Python how to guides

gilded vortex
#

don't sweat it

teal jackal
#

No algo solution

#

Thank

#

I hope

gilded vortex
#

also after they verify it, I usually get back a couple points

#

so thats always nice

teal jackal
#

Is there the chance they take off points

#

I was using 0% of my brain on q2 tbh

#

I spent 10 minutes on it

#

Y would they

#

Fuq

#

i REALLY want to keep my 780

gilded vortex
#

makes sense

teal jackal
#

fuck

#

worst case it drops to 770

#

which is still same range

#

whatever

#

yeah i shouldnt worry about it

quick wraith
#

do they even give a shit about scores below 800?

gilded vortex
#

depends where

teal jackal
#

Yeah tru

#

Since I'm sub 800 I'm boned either way

#

Fuck I need good q4 RNG next time

quick wraith
#

Is q4 like a LC hard?

gilded vortex
#

i feel usually they are a harder medium

#

not quite lc hard

split plaza
teal jackal
#

I got an LC superhard

quick wraith
#

I guess you can reuse a codesignal score right?

teal jackal
runic wind
#

It's usually brute force

teal jackal
#

but i was planning on using for netflick too

gilded vortex
#

i had to take 2 this year cause hrt requires a 2 week old one

teal jackal
#

q3 is brute force
q4 is super-mega-ultra-brainiac DP slding window graph theory

#

if youre unlucky

gilded vortex
teal jackal
#

people have taken like 50 codesignals by now and eventually got one with good luck

quick wraith
teal jackal
#

this is my second codesignal of all time

gilded vortex
#

tbh i didn't want to retake it but hrt requires the test to be only 2 weeks old

teal jackal
#

i cant find any mention of the problem i took online

#

i tried looking it up and couldnt find anything

#

must be a new problem

quick wraith
#

how to up the implementation score?

teal jackal
#

who switched from codesignal?

#

i hope i get bonus points on q4 because i could NOT see any feasible way to solve it

#

and i cant find any mention of it on google either

gilded vortex
#

yeah you would think that these codesignal problems would have already leaked

teal jackal
#

i hope i get bonus points for getting the hardest q4 ive ever seen

#

one of these days ill get an 800+

#

when my q4 rng is good

#

yeah ik

#

fuck

#

i had such bad rng

#

honestly if u take codesignal enough times and youre smart enough to be in cs, one of these days youll get a 800+

#

its statistically inevitable

gilded vortex
#

yeah you have to really optimize your time on codesignals. Have to do the 1 2 4 3 strat

#

and also have 1 letter variable names

#

to save time lmao

teal jackal
#

fuck codesignal

#

their weighting is just outright stupid

gilded vortex
#

yeah if any body was manually grading my codesignals, they would def be marked down

#

for codesignal, if it passes the submit button you are gucci

#

that's all that matters

#

Not sure what the difference between problem solving vs implementation?

#

perhaps a solution the gives tle will give problem solving points but not implementation?

teal jackal
#

prob hurts my score

gilded vortex
#

nah don't think so

teal jackal
#

ayy lmao

gilded vortex
#

I do the same lol

delicate cloak
#

are Meta NG openings not posted? my friend is trying to refer me but nothing is coming up when he searches for it

teal jackal
#

not posted indeed

delicate cloak
teal jackal
#

i have fuck all idea if theyre even gonna post this year

delicate cloak
#

i went to their Seattle recruitment event earlier this year and IIRC they said they'd be posted sometime in October

#

idk if that's still happening tho

teal jackal
#

aite

#

we are waiting until october then

#

wanna get into meta gang

#

who else

delicate cloak
#

i just want an offer so i can negotiate TC elsewhere

#

seems like it's not gonna happen in time

gilded vortex
#

I mean didn't we hear about meta hiring freeze during early summer, maybe they had a change of plan

latent sun
#

lowkey it would be fucked if they opened up newgrad for meta before even extending actual offers to those that meet expectations

gilded vortex
#

^

teal jackal
#

It would be fucked but at least we outsiders get a chance 🤣

delicate cloak
#

reparations for me never getting so much as a phone screen period

teal jackal
#

But then again, would you wanna work at a company who doesn't hire interns who meet expectations

delicate cloak
#

nah

latent sun
#

so many intern managers were incredibly frustrated at those rumors of opening up to new grad

delicate cloak
#

hence me only wanting to use them for TC negotiations

teal jackal
#

Yeah I thought hard about that and that seems a tad bit toxic

latent sun
#

my im was ranting to me about the possibility

teal jackal
#

I don't have any offer rn so I wanna get an offer

#

I don't have an Amazon return

gilded vortex
#

there are uber interns who didn't get return offers but they are hiring ng, kinda dumb imo

#

so maybe meta will pull the same shit

teal jackal
#

Or headcount

gilded vortex
#

I mean, from what they told me, yeah some weren't meeting expectations, but mainly headcount yeah

#

but why not just do an internal transfer with those interns?

"you didn't exemplify the principle of working backwards and customer obsession"

#

But tbh, my mentor did a really shit job explaining the point of my project

errant karma
#

Lol

sweet urchin
#

God amazon seems so miserable

teal jackal
#

Some may argue "the point of Amazon is that you figure out the point of the project yourself"

But that's just a dumb gotcha test

gilded vortex
#

also people love taking summer vacations, so my last internship, my mentor was out for 2 weeks

sweet urchin
#

The phrase “customer obsession” just gives me a migraine

teal jackal
#

Like you're the one telling me to do this, wtf am I supposed to do without the information of "what do u want this to accomplish"

sweet urchin
teal jackal
#

My manager was out for 8 weeks LOLFUNNY

gilded vortex
#

lol yeah I knew a manager taking a sabbatical lmao

teal jackal
#

I really can't beat myself up for failing at Amazon tbh

#

I mean yeah I should have done some things more proactively, yadda yadda yadda, but the whole point of being at a company is that someone gives you orders of "we want you to accomplish thing for reason"

#

Everyone wants to visit Japan right lmao

#

There was a whole discussion yesterday

gilded vortex
#

I feel japan would be nice to visit but not speaking the lang is def an issue

i wanted to plan a trip to Japan this winter when i graduate but doesn't look like it's happening at this rate lol

#

i don't want to be in a tour group tho

teal jackal
#

tokyo in summer 2023 is gonna be JAMPACKED with new grad tourists tbh

#

i can already tell

delicate cloak
#

what's the difference between non guided tour and solo travel?

#

do you still need to stay within a bubble?

#

hmm

#

will have to look into this

#

which sounds lame af

teal jackal
#

tbh im wiating for china to open since almost everyone in my family outside of my immediate family is there

#

probably wont happen anytime soon tbh

#

at this rate

#

What if your friend gets another offer

#

Would that cheer him up

#

But it's valid to use failure and punishing yourself for failure as motivation to improve

#

True

how much does codesignal score matter for many companies? is a 780 passable, even if it sucks?

#

what kind of companies have a reputation of not accepting anything under 800

#

im gonna stall on submitting my apps for other codesignal companies until if i can get an 800+

#

does anyone know what circle's codesignal bar is like?

#

i might as well get that over with if a 780 is acceptable to them

#

true, its all speculation how companies use codesignal results
