Maybe make sure your resume is up to snuff tho even with a dry recruiting season

#

JPM is super solid

#

Amazon honestly is hard to place on a tier list

#

Since it’s so rng

#

Teams vary like crazy

weak latch
#

Cap

#

Certain teams yeah but in general no way

rustic vessel
#

Apple is a cult, prove me wrong

sonic coral
normal palm
#

plus you don't have team matching

sonic coral
#

Yep it’s super rng

#

I will say tho

normal palm
#

then again team matching is a good and a bad thing

marble bronze
#

That sounds pretty standard IMO

sonic coral
#

Zon is absolutely S tier for transfers

#

You can literally swap day 1

#

And your manager can’t do shit

#

Since all you need is other manager approval

normal palm
sonic coral
normal palm
#

you still gotta technically interview for the other manager tho right?

sonic coral
#

There was a dude who was gonna go to Seattle and swapped to a different team in austin literally his first day

sonic coral
#

It’s more of a coffee chat

#

But that’s what networking is for

#

You meet people outside your team so you have people outside your team you can reach out to for future transfers

rustic vessel
#

Does anyone even get into 2sigma without a referral?

#

I swear they only ghost if you dont

#

Huh, haven’t seen anyone get final from who I know without a referral.

normal palm
#

i believe amazon took about 10k interns last year

#

internationally

sonic coral
#

I did

#

Fuck em tho

#

They took me for a ride

#

Seattle had 6k interns alone

normal palm

Does two sigma email to resume reject or just ghost

sonic coral

#

ah you're saying for the new grad pipeline

#

i thought you meant for internships

weak latch
#

you talking only swe?

#

Amazon took like 10k+ interns total

#

across all fields iirc

empty thorn
#

meta alone took 4-5k this year

#

yeah

#

i worked there

teal jackal
#

yeah honestly im lucky to have zon at resume at all

#

im grateful i had the chance at zon

#

probably harder to get an internship for summer 23

Literally same exact resume you and me

Yeah I just did shit on the cognitive stuff

Probably I had like 3 and 1 car lol

Why stock low

I’m just ranting y’all

Please don’t base your chances off of my experience

Honestly mw2 made me happy

sure the app is shit

but the AR stuff there

#

and scale was massive

💔

#

I would take snap in a heartbeat if they wanted me

same with Meta 😢

Although Meta is like a toxic relationship

#

and Snap is just things not working out fr fr

I just really liked my team

#

Bloomberg said they're "expediating" my process

#

Does that mean I'm special 🥺🥺

weak latch
#

😉

#

do you have a deadline or something? Or did they just randomly expedite you 😂

topaz elk
#

They randomly did , and also they used "expediate"

#

Hello there!

We would like to expidiate your interview process and invite you to a virtual technical interview day with Bloomberg.

Please sign up for an interview slot here:

#

Also expediate got used wrong so many times they're considering adding to the dict/added it to some

#

Also being prescriptive with language is pretty ☠️

#

But yes it was random

Phone I did last week Wednesday

#

The first VO will be this week

#

They said it's only an hour?

#

I thought it was longer

fossil jewel
#

thats the first phone ye

#

then a 2-3 hour VO

hasty birch
fossil jewel
#

oh wait, you already did

#

ye i misread lol

hasty birch
fossil jewel
#

my VO is 10/12 and i had to ask for an offer extension

shy dock
#

it says its only an hour

#

i just got it too

#

does that mean this is a substitute for the usually 3-4 hour onsite

topaz elk
shy dock
#

i dont think theres gonna be 2 VOs

#

prolly just this one final

hasty birch
#

Which is 2 interviews

shy dock
#

i had my 3-4 hour onsite scheduled for next week

#

after passing phone

#

they just sent me this instead tho

hasty birch
#

Hmm yeah first I'm hearing about this

Phone was ez

i can't even find this role from the careers page but it's listed as being the NG role on the coderQuad repo

worthy nova
#

they just emailed me rn saying my phone is tomorrow 8 am so im tryna figure out how to best prepare with like 4 hours lol

topaz elk
#

Uh

#

Pdf?

#

I didn't even know they sent me a pdf

worthy nova
#

yeah it just describes the whole process and then has some hackerrank problems at the end

#

it sounds a lot like amazon's interview where they just ask some behavioral for like 10 mins and then a technical for the rest, did it feel like that to you?

topaz elk

Uhm pretty much

Hey. Where do you guys apply for Amazon? I have a shit ton of recruiters emails so Idk if I ask one of them to apply or just submit my online app and wait for OA

hexed moth
#

uh

#

they're waitlisting people rn

fossil jewel
#

mine was kinda easy

#

i was so unprepared but i got one OOD easy and one reg lc easy

#

i hope i get the same luck for VO lol

young peak
#

companies waitlisting people is highkey weird

#

just reject or hire, it ain't fucking college

night magnet
#

But it makes sense

#

It’s the same idea

#

For big companies they can just accept whoever clears the bar

#

But when companies have limited headcount it’s hard for them to know their ratio of offers:accept

fossil jewel
#

yeah its a bit of a toss up

#

its such a weird year too so it kinda makes sense

does anyone know what happened to the new grad salary sharing channel? Doesn't seem like there's any recent messages

out of all job apps, university hiring systems feel like college apps 2.0

because the process feels more impersonal

How is the difficulty level on it? And is it just Leetcode??

tardy geode

guys i am struggling bad in dp

#

😭

#

how did y'all start with dp , i ain't understanding much

next geode
teal jackal
#

the concept is pretty simple

#

either you take the current item at the cost, or you skip it and use the rest of the value you have on other objects

quiet mauve
#

i feel like you should start with top down dp and then build to bottom up dp

quiet mauve
teal jackal
#

yeah

#

brute force first -> DP is good

#

eventually you understand the DP anyways

#

comikgn up with the brute force is a big part of the challenge

young peak
#

For brute forcing DP problems, I think the first step is offloading data/info aka memoization

#

is it bad practice to use global variables when doing recursion?

prime palm
#

Ermmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

I don't think so

#

oh do you mean like

#

have variables on the class

#

like you have self.blah = something

#

🤔🤔🤔

clever orbit
#

nah not a class variable

#

just a variable outside of a recursive function

#

which gets changed within the recursive function

#

in python

#
        res = [0]
        res[0] = True
        
        def dfs(node):
            if not node:
                return 0
            
            left = dfs(node.left)
            right = dfs(node.right) 
            
            if left - right > 1 or right-left > 1:
                res[0] = False
                return 0
            
            return 1 + max(left,right)

i think the lowest you can do the whole problem is in n^2

#

well more like k * n

#

since you have to produce the subarrays from k <= i <= n

and for each subarray you need the kth largest

it's basically the non-recursive part of quick sort right?

wicked rivet
#

the partition?

vague kraken
#

Partition is the same

#

Quick sort you recursively go left and right

wicked rivet
#

yeah

vague kraken
#

Quick select you just go towards the index you want

wicked rivet
#

kinda like binary search and quick sort

vague kraken
#

Something like that

wicked rivet
#

you do still recur but for the part of the array you want

vague kraken
#

Yes

autumn ridge
#

I keep telling myself i need to practice quickselect idk why but i just can’t seem to be able to code it on my own lol. Like i know instantly when a problem is quick select but i always fuck up the implementation.

vague kraken
#

The partition function is the hardest part

#

I definitely don’t remember how that shit works anymore lmao

dusty halo
#

Anyone whose GS application still shows "Interview Completed"? After a month since taking the OA?

But yeah any grinders in here who can implement quicksort can do quickselect with a one line change

If you give too high, they reject you, if it's too low they lowball you and you can't really negotiate because that's what you said you wanted

if I gave too high of a number to pinterest I absolutely would've got my interview process thrown out

formal fable
#

LC hards in live interviews are usually more thinkers and discussions than actual optimal solving. The idea is to stretch your limits enough to see your thought process for real, unlike in the case of an easy problem, where you'd do it without really thinking

#

At least that's what I've heard

#

So, even a seemingly bad interview, can be a good one. The interviewer just has to like the way you think

Does your recruiter’s email start with AA? I’ve sent 2 follow up emails and never heard back lmao

yes lol then they said they were skipping the phone screen bc they fucked up twice which I was kinda stoked for but then when I scheduled the interview for the "onsite" it's only 1 hour so I'm pretty sure it's just the phone screen.

Hi Netflix candidates: when did you receive Netflix Airtable email with "Our goal is to reach out to candidates who are chosen for initial next steps within the next two to three weeks. If you haven’t heard from us by then, we may have reached interview capacity."? I'm wondering when was the "2~3 weeks" started to count. (I applied very late and received this email on 9/15 and haven't heard back anything)

ive only seen like 2-3 out of like 100+ apps ive done that had an problem with international students

#

but maybe i dont understand the process when you are one, and if it changes

pallid quarry
#

I feel like most companies won’t outright reject you but it’s way more difficult since you are compared to a non intl student and most of the times they don’t consider the overhead of sponsoring an intl worth it unless you are a really great candidate

#

I feel like I got rejected after initial recruiter calls for a few companies for that reason is that they probably found someone similar who didn’t require sponsorship and would rather hire them

does the karat interviewer move you forward even if you gave a wrong answer? for palantir if that matters

yeah tech will weather the storm better than most industries but no one knows exactly how its going to shake out

#

tech slowing hiring to a crawl is technically better than like, retail laying off massive portions of their workforce for example

#

shits fucked, fed seemingly has only one button to push to get inflation to stop, that being "crush labor power by tanking the economy "

#

but hows that going to work out when there's literally a 1mil + gaping hole in the labor force from covid deaths. Like I don't see how they can force the unemployment rate to get worse when we're pretty much as close to full employment as we can be out of sheer necessity

#

unemployment getting worse = key industries begin to fail
