Bloombergs process is janky as hell with interviews being canceled so i would definitely reach out

low scroll
#

but I was communicating my thought process the whole time, which I hope helps me out

echo finch

my recruiter said bloomberg is done

#

thats why its taking so long for them to respond

low scroll

my recruiter said google is shutting down

ivory stratus

my recruiter said the guy that hacked uber hacked bloomberg

my recruiter said meta is the new amazon

foggy perch
#

actually crazy if amazon is done hiring this early in the season though

ivory stratus
#

meta is supposed to open soon

foggy perch
#

ehhh

#

I wouldn't put my faith in that tbh

#

if meta is barely even hiring return interns i doubt their ng hiring will be anything crazy

swift urchin
#

ik meta is going to some hiring conferences

#

yeah but they were listed as "looking for SWE"

foggy perch
#

doesnt mean ng

swift urchin
#

while some other companies that ik are frozen didn't have anything they were looking for

#

yeah fair, could just b for interns

foggy perch
#

i think it's just a simple logic of if they are barely hiring return interns

#

why would they hire ng in mass

main sky
#

While Dropbox said they are done with NG during Tapia

#

"but you could always try other entry level???"

first amazon makes u wait then roblox makes u wait? 😢

main sky
#

Yo Nathan from Lowes I know we signed NDA but was it hard

foggy perch
#

I think the saddest part is that I confirmed that roblox calls for offer, reject, or followup interview

#

which'll be rough

hexed moth
#

bruh if they did that

main sky

Anyways I'm gonna cry on phone

hexed moth

i would kms

google calls to tell you didnt make it either

winter thistle

amazon

foggy perch
#

like on of the people who got roblox offer got a call to be told to do a followup

#

being called for rejection'll be so sad

#

nope

#

I asked

hexed moth
#

lmfao imagine getting an offer then asked to do a follow up interview

foggy perch
#

something along the lines of valuing giving candidates good feedback

#

which is allegedly why they call to reject

thought people were getting mad lucky with Roblox Ws in the final this year

seeing as new grad processes only have people reporting Ws from roblox finals

azure zephyr

what's a good resource to become better with dynamic programming interview questions?

just do more dp questions @azure zephyr

a lot of the roblox oa rejects reported Ls tho

hm

calm shale
#

cya boys im going straight to senior thanospog

foggy perch
#

I think roblox on-site def has a higher success rate than average

#

since if you get referred to roblox

#

your referrer gets paid

#

just if you get to onsite

#

not even if you have pass onsite

#

yeah

#

my referrer got paid like 1k just because I passed oa and got to onsite

#

lmao

#

havent done final yet

#

have it scheduled soon tm

main sky
#

lmao my referrer didn't shared the money part with me so oops

foggy perch
#

must be an amazon employee

#

or that

foggy perch
#

so I found it really funny when I heard that they got paid even if I dont pass final

#

big brain roblox side hustle: get people to pass oa

#

tru

#

codesignal is the most gameable

#

car and deer std rng

#

nah

#

I gave up on deer std

#

but still passed

#

lmao

#

too much thinking

#

damn wtf even the 1x30 amazon ppl getting waitlisted

#

we really are in endtimes

#

ye

#

behaviorals is all generic

main sky
#

Yah I'm one of the 1x30 amazon ppl and waiting for roblox redemption

foggy perch
#

it apparently supposed to be diff in past years

#

where it had sys design

#

but they changed this year

#

to make it more generic

#

Show me a time where you showed x behavior

#

ye

#

ik

main sky
#

amazon LP time I see

foggy perch
#

if I fail roblox I'll just cope by saying that SF is a shithole anyways

#

no idea

#

palantir interview sounds harder to me tbh

#

since they have that learning and decomp interview right?

#

idk its name

#

maybe

#

I wonder if my roblox interviewers will actually be people who play games

#

or if they just work at roblox for the $$$$$

main sky
#

I guess it's fine if they don't play roblox

foggy perch
#

I wonder what reasons roblox rejects people in the final for

young peak

Alright I got like 10mins to spare today

Roll on with the questions

#

Ask questions

main sky
#

I'm bad at LC...

foggy perch

I wonder what they consider a bad behavioral tho

#

is it 2 in 45

#

huh

#

I wonder what the difficulty level'll be though

#

since some I've heard sound ez

#

like browser history

#

if i get a dp problem or lc hard it's gameover

#

i'm assuming you didn't get any lc hards right

#

or dp

#

ok good

#

that's the most important thing to me

#

because lc hard or dp actually impossible for me

some of the leetcode questions roblox asked looked so shitty

really

well

idk i've seen those tagged

I saw basic calculator and that's it

foggy perch
#

but I wonder if it's for more senior interviews

wind drum
#

like they had 10x the thumbs down compared to thumbs up ratio

foggy perch
#

i wonder if roblox insta rejects w/o optimal answer

#

or if they care more about thought process

From what I heard the thought process..

should even keep a ray of hope?

i am contemplating on this

im curious why this month's candidates didnt get waitlisted though unless they're going to prioritize september interviewers

slender apex

and than waitlist will pick up empty spots from decline return offers

i could believe that

tardy geode
#

no one will decline return offers for sure

thorn walrus
#

@rain patio you needed to run/pass all test cases for all 4 lc questions?

slender apex
#

yeah

hexed moth
#

people def will

slender apex
#

not holding high hopes for that considering the economy

tardy geode
#

i don't think so coz of the economic environment

slender apex
#

but a few mightve gotten better offers

#

so its not entirely impossible

tardy geode
#

they might still hold it

slender apex
#

oh yeah

tardy geode

thinking what if that better offer rescinds

slender apex

just in case of rescind

#

god

wtf is with this economy lol

do u guys know that feeling where you haven't been rejected yet, even though other people have been

i wonder what's gonna happen to industry hire job hop after the first year, how many people out of the people who failed to get a big N role will be applying for big N after a year in industry?

will job hop be competitive too, or nah

Only solution is to grind harder than everyone i guess?

I'm grinding leetcode non stop until grad. Plus, I'm gonna rigorously study systems design. I gotta get something good

Can't be sticking around at ibm

i think ive just been brainwashed into having unreasonably high expectations for myself

#

the best thing you can do yourself is just keep grinding

teal jackal
#

yeah thats the plan

#

I feel like after a certain point once you do enough leetcode problems interview difficulty feels easier assuming you can do mediums consistently under 15 minutes. I’m a long ways off though so we keep going

@teal jackal is your resume O(n)?

azure zephyr
#

she rly emphasized taking negative thoughts (ex: i'm never going to get a job) and backing up those thoughts with actual, totally true facts. so like come up with facts that are true as to why the negative thoughts aren't valid (ex: i'm practicing leetcode, i've had some companies reach out to me) i realized that i can't really back up those negative thoughts with hardcore facts.

grave moon
#

Same here. I think as long as you have a company like IBM on your resume, you'll get interviews. Even with the recession, I'm actually surprised as to how many oa's I've gotten so far this year. I have difficulty passing them, but that's a whole different story lmfao

azure zephyr
#

just that mindset has made this process a bit easier on me

grave moon
# coral finch I mean having both don't hurt?

Yeah, but my parents didn't want to pay for me going to a prestigious university, and instead wanted me to stay local, because they thought it was too expensive. The crazy thing is that, I'm taking out loans and paying for university on my own rofl

teal jackal
#

how would your therapist recommend dealing with "i dont want to make less than what i did as an intern"

teal jackal
#

yeah

azure zephyr
#

lol what did you make as an intern?

grave moon
coral finch
#

nice

azure zephyr

but also once again it's the same thing. do you have any hardcore facts (emphasis on facts) that mean you're absolutely going to make less than you did as an intern?

trust me i 100% feel u with how competitive things are right now, but there's nothing we can do besides try to live with it and not destroy our minds so much that we fuck up our interviews bc of it

teal jackal

honestly im counting on after all the tryhards get their jobs, a second wave of hiring for good jobs and i can reapply/get an interview to those roles

lone rapids

U getting interviews? Damn all these perfect oas and not even a phone call

But i need sponsorship later so that also affects it

does anybody feel a little lonely on this journey as far as irl peers? all of my friends are waiting until right before or after graduation to apply to places so it do be lonely sometimes

foggy perch

are your friends cs majors

or diff major

teal jackal

game dev majors obviously just don't think about jobs

ez

azure zephyr

i'm referring to the cs major friends

teal jackal

im already panicked out of my mind

unless they have return offers

no it's totally okay that they're waiting im just saying bc im the only one in the friend group doing it rn

tulip citrus

if it makes anyone feel better i'm en route to finish my masters this year and all my irl friends have full time swe positions and i've yet to have an internship lmfao

teal jackal
#

its not a good idea to play with uncertainty

foggy perch
#

maybe, idk I feel like companies like bb and amazon are going to be a lot more full this year

#

sooner i'd say

azure zephyr
foggy perch
#

eh

#

honestly i feel like applying early in this scenario isn't even being a tryhard

#

seeing as its better to be prepared early in a potential recession

outer radish
#

honestly what is it like for people that aply right after grad

#

like we're stressing this hard rn

foggy perch

outer radish
#

after knowing about LC and apps and shit like that

teal jackal

im only telling my friends to start early

azure zephyr

you'd be surprised how many cs majors ik that don't know what leetcode is

teal jackal
#

tbh idc if other people have a rude awakening

#

they arent a part of my life anyways

azure zephyr
#

and i go to a T50 school

teal jackal
#

but my friends i do want to think of them

foggy perch
#

true

#

idk I feel like in normal circumstances things can work out if you just dgaf until the last second for job apps

azure zephyr
#

i told my friends but they're just lol YOLO 👅 senior year

foggy perch
#

but this year it's def way better to be prepped early

yikes

teal jackal
foggy perch

unless they have return offers ready

#

that sounds like a rough idea

teal jackal
#

me!

#

🙋‍♂️

azure zephyr
#

a lot of them come from daddy's money so they're chilling anyways can just move back home and vibe while they apply. my parents have a lot but i def don't want to move back home so i stressed starting early bc of my own goals

Of course

current place im interning at likely wont give me a return offer

i graduate this december

plus my parents make me work for everything so i already have a working mentality engrained in me, a lot of my friends weren't forced to work during school which i feel like adds to their mentality as well

teal jackal

ive been an underachiever all my life

my parents were tiger parents and geniuses, and i still turned out an underachiever lmao

azure zephyr

100% do not delay your grad that's just more $$$

#

if ur a dec grad don't you still qualify for all the same new grad roles?

teal jackal
#

its okay to NEET for a bit if either way youre gonna be applying for the same roles that start in may/august

#

how do u sneak another internship in by delaying to spring

anyone know if workday tracks previous applications? like if i use a different email/phone will they still be able to find out if i applied before?

I got rejected from circle after oa and I heard there system is broken so if i apply again will i get OA chance again?

if u got the email yeah

what are they gonna do

honestly me getting OAs is so fucking random

like my resume is so mid

I have like 2 internships in data science

one fortune n

and that's it

lone rapids

I applied with another email to circle and got oa on that email

#

Is it possible to submit codesignal with my primary email and not that other email

marble bronze
#

I have had weird RNG as well

#

I think you can link accounts but I don't quite remember how

lone rapids

I reapplied with my primary email. I hope they send me codesignal again. I got a good score now so hopefully next round

When does IMC respond after video interview. Anyone has any idea

lament summit

no

same acc

#

does a new test not pop up

Wait whattt

lament summit

yes my friend got banned

U can take test without any conpany asking?!

lament summit

like all his external accounts got banned

and u just need to wait the 2 weeks

lone rapids

So test without any comapny asking is possible but gets u banned?

I think taking the test multiple times under similar emails was

Not necessarily the no company asking part, could be wrong though

How much early do u need to finish to get 850?

what does that even mean

Like how early in codesignal to finish to get perfect 850

lament summit

uh

#

dont think its possible lol

lone rapids
#

Lol

lament summit
#

maybe 10 minutes

lone rapids
#

I finished 16 min early and still not perfect

foggy perch

since I basically flawlessed my codesignal when I did q1 q2 in < 5 minutes each

and q3 < 7-10 minutes

like time constraints for an 850 are insane

#

actually oh ig I fucked up q3

#

I guess if I did q3 in < 10 minutes I would get to 850 maybe?

foggy perch
#

q3 is not hard as much as time consuming imo

#

like I knew I could solve it, it was just annoying

#

q1 1 minute lmao

lone rapids
#

Yea q3 for me was much more difficult then q4

foggy perch
#

ehhh

#

I think rng-wise q4 can be a lot harder

#

like q4 sometimes have questions that require super complex concepts

#

to get optimal time limit

#

q3 usually just requires a lot of code brute force matrix solution

lone rapids
#

Q4 i think always needs to be o(n)

foggy perch
#

ye

#

or log(n) sometimes

#

but yeah idk I've never encountered a q3 I can't solve

they just take more coding time
