ic ic, i would be tempted to do all base
3 finals this week just gimme 1 pls

spring 2023 grads only :-(
arent u graduating in may? thats the spring semester no?
Sorry this happened to you brother
Shhhh
Go back to work, we’re going to need that return offer
Approve my PR plz
Is Pinterest just standard LC?
Amazon is done
but if i had to guess ur app was just never submitted 
but the hopium is that the referral was finally processed and you need to "resubmit" it to make it thru the referral now
wack
could actually be the hopium then lol
was it all alread filled out when you went to complete your app
same thing happened with me right now
yah im mad late lmfaoooo
im really counting on the ones im currently past resume screen for lol
i've been waiting for capital one to schedule my power day for a month now ☠️
i sent over my preferred dates and haven't heard a peep back from them yet lmfao
They're probably just constipated as fuck
I've given up on them - they'll probably fill up before they even get to me
rip me I got a 74 on a spacex codility OA. THought i did well, but missed some hidden test cases
should I expect to be whacked by greedy algo, dp, or system design on OCI oracle final?
since hirevue is auto do they send these on weekends?
did anyone take the oa for lucid? bruh that was hard af
idea: We should pin successful resumes on the Resume Forum
well, how do we know they were successful
and not rng
Number of OA's compared to Number of Applications
It is not perfect but it should be a good indicator of passing resume screening
What is it? Like LC or?
mostly just boils down to combination of school rank + internship “prestige” + dei + rng
yea it felt like a lc hard
Doesn't it say you can take longer than 60 min to complete, I thought that was interesting
yea they gave us 10 days to do it
Anyone else starting to accept that they might not find a job for a few years
yo this happened to me too got the email just few hrs ago
bruh is amazon actually done
i thought i never submitted as well but it also still says i applied sept 3rd so idk wtf is going on
They’ve started waitlisting so
doordash oa
what the fuck was that
i actually have no idea how i could have possibly been ready for it
Yea door dash OA for intern was pretty wild from what I remember too
Did you get a dp question or smthn
i wish that shit was dp lmfao
What was it
Not sure
Happened to me too a few days ago, had to reenter all my info
Anyone know splunk new grad tc?
I interned there last fall, not sure if I should ask for return offer
Bro ask
In this economy why wouldn’t u
Ng TC is ~190k according to levels
(In San Jose)
Non us grads , does this mean 2 years of US experience or overall?
overall
pretty sure they just started sending those out
🥸 how long do you guys wait to assume phone call is cancelled
palantir phone never called rip
just email and theyll reschedule
so tru bro
honestly mad that this is the economy i graduate into
im demotivated to try or care in classes anymore
classes are irrelevant to how much tc i make
im wasting my time in class
before karat
does having a 7-8 month resume gap affect chances?
^ yeah
oh 😦
Anyone know tiktok process?
2 technicals back to back
and one behavioral after with manager
You'll interviewing with a specific team (they don't say that but you'll be in it)
Oh i see okay cool thanks
Is Duolingo recruiter responsive? I sent two emails to request an extension for OA but never got a response
prob really really backed up
wdym
They're mainly focusing
the the people that went from application -> final round
most were on the OA pipeline
and they'll prob go through that list this coming month
what?
aah
i think the 180k tc dream is dead for 2023 grads
local and mid tier companies gonna be stacked
7-8 month gap can be justified
depending on the reason
but i think the whole hysteria over resume gaps is rightfully dying
Duolingo has sent final round to people without the OA?
i think resume gaps shouldnt be career suicide
duolinngo just mad stupid i stg
r u at a top school
duo loves peeps from like cmu
that's the only way i got talking to a recruiter
yeah but my oa has expired
pain
It's still possible I think just a lot fewer companies hiring that pay that much and a lot more competition.
I had my HR call with gap yesterday and the recruiter said usually about 40% of their interns accept their return offer from gap but this year 92% accepted so things are definitely rocky
no that's totally true
gap?
anyone do hrt algo engineer process?
but i know duo resume rejected a TON of people
not for the mfs who solve 100 problems weekly
^
interview bars are through the roof
meaning
the bar to get one at all
and the bar to pass one
do you guys use ipad instead of pen and paper while solving LC probs?
better at recognizing patterns
i personally do
but i am just not a pen and paper person
i like drawing pictures
my interviewers hate it because it's a pain to see when i put my ipad up to the camera
is it worth it tho? i am not a drawing person . the thing with pen and paper is that when i solve sometimes it becomes a mess then when i go back to it after a while i don't understand it
yeah dont buy an ipad for solely lc lmao
i have an ipad to store my notes and shit like that
I will say, buying an ipad for college was 100% the smartest (and perhaps only smart) move I've made as a student
cs or otherwise
i have 300+ papers on my ipad from doing lit reviews etc
the more you know the less likely you are to get fucked with an lc
and it's familiarity
like i remember when i first started doing lc
i knew when to use stuff like bfs
but i couldn't actually implement it lmao
r u 1x30 or 2x60
good luck
i heard it's like first medium / hard then the second one is supposed to be harder
but it is also rng
i just know the second one is supposed to be harder
Getting over the initial hump when you first start LC is fucking brutal or at least it was for me.
dont fret about it, just use it as a learning experience dude
like write down how you felt after the interview, its helped me learn and reflect on what went wrong / what went right in an interview
Now I feel kind of stuck where I can solve like 60% of mediums I see for the first time maybe 10% or less of hards but still not very good odds to pass a 4 round interview
Yeah I have recruiter call today
this works
I heard back around 5 days after I did the one way interview thing
oh i never got that
it went to my personal email not my school email, and i always wonder if that messes up new grad stuff
same bruh
phone or vo
😦
just give it a day, email again, theyll resched soon
its annoying tho fr
i have my vo today... pls no 👻
i think pipeline is too fucked with all the apps
they are, but have a rep for doing exactly what you experienced lately
since communication for me was great a few months ago before the whole 2023 app panic started
but yeah it's crazy how the phone mischeduling is happening rn
with people just being ghosted at an interview lmao
lol i just realized who u are
?
u gonna take bb or waiting on others still
u changed your name i just realized who you were
I got ghosted twice for my phone lol. I have my VO? or Phone today in 30 min
I think I got rejected from roblox but no communication yet sadly
I was gonna say did I do something incriminating I forgot lmao
Funny how the internship recruiting scene this year is like the opposite of new grad, even companies on hiring freeze are hiring hella interns
they're just praying hiring will get better so the interns can be an investment for next year ig
Because interns are great if you know you want to hire in the future but are unsure right now
Details? Have mine in 30 min
i'm just so sad amazon pipeline being busted means I can't nego up my other offer
guess I gotta job hop in 1 year from now for more tc
Wdym?
left us hanging with just impending doom lol
meh
i don't think it's that much worse than peak covid
ok nah
that's pure cap here
cap
Peak Covid ain’t even that bad tbh
companies are still hiring lmao
They told me expedited Sun
they're just filtering way harder rn
It's just the lower bar companies are lowering hiring
told i passe
imo
dauymm
What the fuck lol
recruiter reachout or cold apply?
damn
damn well wish me luck I have mine in 30 min lol
oonly reachout i got this sem was two sig
yes
if you finish fast
theres a chance they make you do another today
they also said
manager review on Thurs
lol
if i pass
also
wait so i'm confused so it's essentially the VO round but they still do pass fail after the first interview
you got the 2x 1h track. most ppl do the 3h VO
2020 > 2023 > 2008/2009
its
2x50 VO
HR round + EM round
This is my rank for worst years to graduate into
yeah with a recruiter reachout i could schedule things fast, but not that fast
Were somewhere in the middle
i think non expedited, it seemed like people were
doing their fiansl like
a month
after scheduling
okay thank you for the info! That's wild that they didn't communicate how the process works. I'm exactly the same as you where I just have a single interview today that's expidited
talking to the recruiter, she said that basically they have dedicated engineers that sign up for this week
to do expedited
its so dumb lol, I want more time to prepare
Is it two questions in 50 min?
Tagged?
ye us grads are fucked
ehhh
i don't think people are that fucked, in the worst case scenario people just gotta lower their standards and grind it out for a year
then job hop once economy is back
idk i couldnt find my problem on LC
Idk it could be pretty bad. I feel like most people in this discord are grinding already and even among this crowd things have been pretty slim. Like think about the average outcome for all the graduating CS students at your school it's going to be pretty rough I think.
some of you guys are nerds and go to T10 CS programs and not 80% acceptance rate state schools though lol
I think recession is kinda bad now but lots of non-tech companies in my area still hiring for ng
so i'd assume unless u wanna go big else the average companies are not that bad
man
just my fuckin luck graduating during the worst CS recession in a while
at least not dot com
but i wasnt even fuckin alive
yeah fr. the amount of interviews available for "lower tier" companies is still really high
I think this is the most important point
in the past, just awareness and an honest effort was enough to get you a decent outcome
probably since companies were hiring from their university programs like mills
there are also still more and more qualified people graduating every year
my school has CS major but then like 4 other majors that are CS in everything but name
for people that weren't competitive enough for actual CS
Tbh CS students aren’t the only students we’re competing with
mix of competition and recession
can we et some positive news
like yea competition, recession, but how's everyones day tho
should i get an ipad for like problem solving/LC and taking notes?
pen paper isn't bad but its just that sometimes when dry running the code , creates a lot of mess
but then 550 bucks is too much too 😦
Has anyone done the StubHub code pair?
Anyone know what five rings second part of the first round is?
It’s a 15-30 min video call but no technical
dude BB bailed on me AGAIN I'm cursed they are actually trolling me at this point
Hidden blacklist
not really that worth it
i wouldnt
Rejecting you 🥱 🙄
Inviting you to interviews to ghost 😈 
LMAOOOO
If you have a pc, get a Wacom tablet + stylus that connects via usb for like $70
Then use Microsoft whiteboard or something
Has Goldman reached out to anyone after oa?
i have a mb pro
13"
2021
they got employees working 60 hour weeks, but can't find the time to reah out to candidates

Not me lol
honestly i would just be using it for problem solving while doing LC or like learning something and taking notes @weak latch
i feel with an ipad , everything would be in one place but still don't know if i should go ahead for it considering my use case
I don't think they have reached out to anyone though
Are they on a hiring freeze or something?
I thought goldman started doing pip
The bank is reinstating a tradition of annual employee culls, which have historically targeted between 1% and 5% of lower performers, in positions across the firm, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation.
is palantir hiring manager round a technical?
what will happen for someone doesn't have slots...
#2023_grad_process doesn't show anything after OA for GS
i mean things haven't been that bad
a lot of people are getting OAs and moving forward
definitely not as much as last year
fine lol. I have the worst recruiter in bbg, she never replied us
what is the apple evolve program?
rip what're the initials
is one of them an r or nah
Did anyone do the Expedia OA ? If so how difficult/easy was it ?
anyone do duolingo ng karat?
You are gonna get pipped if ur on this discord during work hours
bloomberg ended up showing up but 20 minutes late. They still ended the interview early though after I solved the question idk if that's a good or bad sign
mannn wtf
you solved the question + they showed up late, that should be a pass in my books
I have no idea it's the weird expidited process so I guess it's VO you can still get failed after first interview
2 coding + 5 mc, 1 coding was easy, 1 was a harder medium (dp)
wacom tablet will work on that too
MC ? What's that about ?
trivia, select the correct output of a chunk of code (multiple choice)
i had dfs, stack, and heap tracing on my multiple choice 
felt like i was back in DSA class
on which coding question on the OA did you get the 1/15?
the first one
the annoying asf hard one
it was so wack it was asking me to pair up numbers in an array based on if they have the same sum of elements, then multiply them together and keep a running total
so like [5, 2, 4, 1] becomes [5, 1] and [4, 2] bc they're both sum 6, then you multiply 5 x 1 and 4x 2 and get a total of 13

but they didn't guarantee that there will always be a valid set of pairs
that's what made it so fuckin annoying
pass rate for expedia oa last year was 57% so you should be good..?
what was the other q like
it was a modification of kth largest
you had to return an array of kth largest values for all subarrays [0:i] for k <= i <= n
the runtime was fucked tho
i only failed cases on that by TLE
kth largest is nlogn with the easy, common approach, o(n) with quick select
and you're asking me to do it k times
k * klogk runtime which is terrible
i feel like just by knowing what quick select is you're ahead of a massive portion of applications
hell, idk what that even is
I don't kno what that is
its actually n^2 worst cast funnily enough
fun fact quick sort worst case is n^2 and it happens when you give it an already sorted array
not very quick is it
when doing the chewy app did people do that questionnaire right after?
Just wondering tho
well i got rejected after submitting 847 😩
also does anyone know if amazon acc responds in 5 business days or if they take longer?
got this from amazon… MONDAY ISNT 9/30 ????
They meant 2023
passed bloomberg round 1 less goo
Did anyone get OA from Amazon New Grad this month?
HAHAHAHA
LMFAOOO
AMAZON MOMENT 💀
bro for real. amazon recruiting, at least frontend side, is so dysfunctional
i had so many problems scheduling shit
ive gone from like one interview a week or two to getting like five interviews since friday
the shotgun applications are catching up to me
For the lld round, are we supposed to write the actual logic of each method or just class/method structures?
How's it going
overwhelming
i haven't started the interviews yet tho, i start with expedia tomorrow
then wells fargo & general motors thursday, datadog phone friday
Dang
is anybody familiar with vanta's interview process?
just got an email for recruiter phone
Anyone know what code signal score is good enough for Pinterest ? Would like a 740 be okay?
Do Roblox recruiters usually ghost
Hey anyone interviewed for the Duolingo new grad TPM?
I think you need an op resume to get it with 700s
bro fr tho ive got 1 every day till next wednesday 😭
Since I've seen a few people get it with that but they seem like the large minority
dude sam i have 4 this week
Nice
😭 who do yall got
bb, c1, at&t, flexport, morningstar, lutron
Is ATT worth
anxious asf
Run
I got an email for ATT phone but idk
I don’t see u logging runs @calm shale
I JUST DID
im doin it cuz i dont have an offer yet, also just good practice
Good
Literally at gym rn 🏋️♀️
Ik I’m never gonna go to Madison but it’s good practice
same lol
this 100 times over omg 😭 i have netflix phone next week too
Expedia OA auto?
I was successful in my internship search with atnt on my resume
P much
which role did u apply for?
was it this one: "2023 New Graduate (January) - Software Development Engineer I (all stacks)"
Very cool very swag
When did you apply to GM? I got 100% on OA and no response 😐
does bloomberg offer take longer after EM if you say that you have competing offers?
I got my invitation for the final 10 days after hirevue (8/23–>9/2)
i dont even remember at this point tbh. maybe like a month ago? (edit: just checked, aug 24) i got recruiter reach out for phone awhile back but we couldn't make time for interview until about now
my work schedule kept getting in the way of scheduling interviews so ive dropped down to one shift a week for now so i can interview lol
was anyone elses IMC phone down by someone outsourced?
It seems like mine is with an outsourced non-technical person
Isn’t the IMC phone behavioral
a trader at my career fair said its a 30min technical interviewer with someone like him
im just now starting to apply to ng (applied to masters as fallback)
Solved 2 questions on Palantir karat
Any chance of moving on
?
Don’t know if second was most optimal
Did u even start 3
No :/
theres like no openings??
probs not then
Take redo
Ok
do u guys think more new grad positions r gonna open?
is stripe/plaid not hiring at all?
Not sure about plaid but stripe won’t be hiring externally this year
how long does it take to get the Mckinsey OA?
5 days for me (9/22 applied, got today)
I applied on sept 21, got OA today
oof i see
it's rough out here guys
we just tryna get a job and get some security
Is Mckinsey OA auto?
should you always choose to redo the palantir karat interview even though you feel you did well?
Pretty much
They cancel if you passed
I wouldn’t put too much hope on the McKinsey OA tbh, it probs has to do with calling an API endpoint and process the return data. Passed all cases last year, still didn’t move on
Not sure if that’s true this year, recruiter told me their team will hold off on reviewing until u do the redo
Hmm applied McKinsey 9/22, didn’t get anything yet we’ll see
Rip
Got a phone screen for a McKinsey SWE but they wanted to me to start immediately. Not sure why they didn’t look at my resume for like 1 sec and see I was graduating in may.
For those that applied to Benchling, how long did it take for ur codesignal to get graded? Cuz I did mine last Friday and it’s not even showing up on my pending results
any tips to prep for C1 power day?
Netflix wanting to schedule a call
Can’t wait to get rejected via phone 
I'd wait to schedule the redo tomorrow. If you passed your recruiter will mark that you don't need a redo. So just wait like 22 hours then schedule your redo. The Karat thing will literally just be like "your recruiter says you don't need to redo"
lucid oa was hard
I don’t think the system design was bad it was just my first system design interview so it was very difficult for me all the other parts of the final were ezpz
Sorry if this has already been asked and sorry I may cut the conversation in the middle but, what does Microsoft mean by changing my application status to: "Application Transferred" ? I've tried looking it up but everyone has a different point of view. Is that good/bad or neutral news? ;o
Pretty sure doesn't mean anything, just internal processing system
is lucid OA auto or ?
Thank you for your feedback.
Visa “next steps” 🤔😳
they liked our amazing code signal scores
Shape
"mainframe positions" wanna be cobol simps !?!
I will end the debate for you lol. Luke is right, its just a internal processing thing, means nothing
Blackrock rejected me 3 weeks ago and sent me an OA today 
I definitely got a bit over excited then lol
Same lmao
I just wanna say no none of these pls 💀💀
fr fr lmaooo
for those that have been successful in getting offers, i would love to know how you actually use leetcode effectively if anyone has tips
I've done 53 easies and looking to move onto mediums. only solved one medium on my own on the first try and really trying to prep for my interview in 3 weeks for msft
review patterns on Blind 75, Neetcode 150, Grokking, etc.
review company-tagged questions last second before an interview
no i know. im moving onto mediums this week
I would use neetcode 150
that's what ive been doing a bit, watching his videos on youtube
do you guys look at solutions a lot?
yes
And if you can’t solve a problem mark itnand come back and solve again in couple days or 1 week
i think that's my worry is that i keep looking at solutions. ive gotten some patterns down though and have been using them and feel like im learning at least. just making sure you all do the same i guess
It takes a while just stay consistent and keep practicing
should i put 0 if company application asks for compensation expectation
yeah that's what im doing
def seems like neetcode 150 is most beneficial. i like that he laid out each pattern in a list
Anyone did the Google apm interview? First round
reeeeeeeeee
still trying to get better at this but grind 75 has given me rapid growth
also if you have good interviewer usually they'll nudge you in the right direction. most interviewers aren't looking for perfection but real ppl who can figure things out
yeah my biggest worry is just getting stuck and not being able to figure out a solution
which i know is ok if i dont get it right for one interview, but i guess im worried about not getting anything lol

me too tbh, i feel like im always going to have that anxiety no matter what tho
wet inbox got rejected 
yeeeee
LC premium is totally worth it. It's also nice to have access to the locked explanations. Still better than trying to figure out some other person's solution
literally this. having video solutions where they walk through each step of the solution is huge
whys people freaking out over zip recruiter
they just want to be recruited
Did you do full annual or just month to month for early recruiting season?
i just did month to month
if i dont get a big N/FAANG job ill pay for annual and grind until next cycle
I got BB in a few weeks but a lot of tagged are premium questions.
yeah just bite the bullet and pay premium. it's absolutely worth it
Think I might just pay for annual. If it gets me a salary even a couple hundred more, it will be worth it
yeah that's exactly my thought. it's an investment
That monthly fee is high though. It’s basically the same as annual if you do 5 months
https://www.amazon.jobs/en/software-engineers/us?INTCMPID=JAAJCZ100003B this looks weird, is for multiple roles right ?
oh shit i didnt know that
https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/2212429/software-dev-engineer this one looks like its for 2023 grad ?

maybe i will just pay for annual when my monthly is about to renew
nah, 1+ year of exp
but it also says currently enrolled so idk lol
they said Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field at time of application (or graduated less than six months prior to application)
$35, right? That’s what it says on the LC site
yeah
It’s $159 for annual
yeah that's basically 5 months
And they have the discount now if enough ppl from your school sign up for it
dang i need to do it lol
Zip Recruiter better be paying like 300k or some shit for how selective they are
tf?
damn
what fang?
doest zon also do pip
or something
ohhhh
Their pay is like 170k for ng
bro same
110k+ TC is a goal id be content enough with
yea I did be happy with that
my low goal right now is 100k TC
that is my goal for this season
ideal goal is 150k+
would you guys do neetcode 150 over blind 75
yeah
150k in nyc/remote
150k+ TC to feel goated, 110k+ TC to feel like im gonna graduate with financial security
aii yeah i might hop on that wave then
Neetcode covers Blind 75
looking at the fact that they separate each problem into categories is key
if you're short on time, do blind75 first and go back and do more problems on nc150 on concepts u feel weak on
yeah I've got a few hackerranks coming in soon within the next couple of weeks so im thinking ill prob do b75 then
nice, I'll check out the videos for each question I get stuck on
yea do that, and if you find yourself saying "man i suck at X concept", go back and do extra problems
learning the patterns is what you should focus on, not any specific problem
do kirb 350 lol
A better way to prepare for coding interviews.
McKinsey OA had a frontend coding question wtf
tbh im still salty and coping about amazon 180k tc and that i missed out on it
but amazon is a fluke tbh, they hire the most for a reason
i got in there and nowhere else for a reason
bro tbh like i've come to accept that sometimes the teams you get are shit
so like some interns are just gonna get shafted and thats decided when you join
didnt have the time to give a damn about my intern project
mine quit 3 weeks out of when i was finishing mine lol
i feel like i can find a company i like more than amazon, cultural and product wise
not one that pays as much as amazon
second goal is dormant to me now
Bloomberg > Amazon
I bombed that by attempting to make the front end use react lol. I almost got it to work but ran out of time
All the other questions were easy
But I didn't care enough to do that question
Is binarysearch.com not working/opening for anyone else anymore?
it wouldn't open on my macbook or mac mini
Working for me
Interesting my browser might be fucked then
Isn’t c1 pretty close to that already?
Anyone else kind of waiting in the Palantir process?
Passed Karat 1 week ago today but still haven't been scheduled for the next round / recruiter call
anyone interview for deployment
strategist at palantir
first year compensation in the offer for i got for Mclean was ~148k (127k base + 15k sign on + 6.6k performance bonus) so for nyc I'd have to imagine its a bit above 150k
yeah this new offer on levels is exactly what i got without the sign on bonus
so for new york
it's probably like ~160k
damn that's not great for NY
Yea first year it is above 150k and then 136k recurring. In other words, my goal is a Big N for new grad.
yeah, if you're aiming above C1 then you're pretty much just looking at Big N stuff
or hfts
Is hft considered Big N or nah
I think WD doesn’t have sign on bonus but ~147k recurring overall
nah
I thought it should be
I see
I haven’t even gotten a return offer yet though 😢
even some FAANG recruiters don't recognize some top hfts from what i heard
Are they gonna give it?
they pay amazing but the average joe on the street has likely never heard of Jane Street for example
I could careless if the hft is paying me good
Do Canadians need a visa to work in the US, or are we clear under the NAFTA agreement?
if you apply to WD is the application on WD
tn visa
or h1b if you want us citizenship
They said late sept or October
Do I need sponsorship for it?
So I’m guessing October at this point lol
Yeah. But I’ve noticed simplify works well on workday applications.
no
im ngl if i click an application link and it's on workday i usually just close the tab
Oh I see
Does c1 only give sign on to people who are return interns?
What is big N
Nah but it is a bit less
Pretty much all of the top companies. I feel like everyone has a different definition.
working remote from nyc
i would agree with that
but id say that 150k is the starting cutoff for when a company is pretty prestigious
Anyone here wanna share their BB recruiter email lol. My interviewer did not show up to phone call and my recruiter hasn’t responded to emails 😭
Not just citizenship, even for greencard a h1b is better since it's dual intent unlike TN
I’m in the bb process too.
Man why did bb reject me. No oa no phone
mood
try alt email
maybe youll have better luck that way
Do they do codesignal?
nope
Time for another email then lol
No, first step is phone
any thoughts on palantir fdse vs bloomberg swe (both nyc, dont care too much about comp) for someone interested in ML
palantir
I know Bloomberg has ML specific team you can choose after their training
But palantir comp significantly better and they're also no slouch when it comes to AI/ML
hmmm yeah im trying to get them to bake ML title into my role (like SWE-ML or MLE)
my main concern is just more like palantir FDSE can vary so wildly
Yeah I don't think you have much control of what you do for Palantir FDSE
bombed c1 first time around cuz i wasn't prep, can i make a new email and apply again
C1 is done
Similar thing happened with me. After my tech phone interview, I didn’t get update for like 15 days. I messaged my interviewer on LinkedIn, got reply next day lol
What's the min code signal score required for sig?
Any advice for Roblox additional interview after onsite?
My interviewer didn’t bother showing up to the tech phone
is this software engineering analyst OA?
Yup
bro
Thats me with triplebyte
can you share what are those 5 questions please?
this is the rescheduled interview after he dipped on me the first itme
Take the hint
fsho, i was just gonna do it for practice
Got an email from zoom that i will receive OA in a day, anyone received OA?
Anyone interviewed with lucid software?
Visa next steps: "Other than this role, are you open to being considered for mainframe positions, test engineers, technical project/product managers/analyst, or network support engineer/analyst?"
Lol NO
Is Palantir goated ?
for new grad perhaps but I don't think TC growth is too good there
Okie because I’m waiting for my LinkedIn new grad offer
LinkedIn > Palantir imo
you dont wanna do mainframe with me

Agreed, I've heard good things about LinkedIn WLB
Anyone interviewed with lucid software
Wait what lol
Aren’t like most apps on workday
does pinterest care about optimal
I've come to learn that these tactics are pretty scummy
They goad you into saying yes because you're desperate for a job -- and these positions are barely tech adjacent sometimes so they say it's basically the same
same when recruiter wants to put you in some random team and tells you it's excellent
yup and when you turn it around on them down the line when you get more confidence, they'll just fire you for not "fitting in with culture" 
bruh this is crazy im seeing an entire fleet of "summer internships" but nothing for new grads in comparison
there there's so many more companies looking for interns than new grad
i wonder if it's the cheap labour that they enjoy
interns probably slow things down if anything
yup facts facts
ay man speak for yourself, i only caused 2 incidents
is anyone good with greedy algorithms willing to help me with an easy question that i cant seem to do?
i spent a lot of my time during internships using a lot of other engineers time kek
at each iteration you ask, do i take the taco or not
if u get taco, good, if not, bad
i get the concept i cant seem to apply it 
Are we?
post on leetcode_discussion
This is my first real szn properly recruiting what’s the timeline like
I thought it was like august-october
nah thats when most companies open their apps
i'd say peak interview season is around Nov
then there's a second wave during spring
at least thats how it worked for internships
Plot twist they’re alr all open

Man codility is such a garbage OA
Codesignal is the best imo
it's so bad lol
just got rejected because I passed all but missed hidden test cases what the fk man
codesignal > hr > literally anything > codility
Like it won’t let me run my own test cases
Codility is one of the only OAs that’s easy qs but easy to fail cuz you don’t know the hidden test cases
Hirevue coding is pretty trash too
this
once you figure out codesignal
it's such a great ez system
^
more so than randomized OAs
Bro on GM hirevue I had to do input parsing myself 😭
Like remove the \n and everything
agreed
I did that last year for Blackrock and it took the whole day lol
Codility looks so fucking ugly
I genuinely want to stop Codility OAs in the middle of them because it's so hard to read
When I saw Belverdere OA had that, I exit it out lol
wdym figure out codesignal
just figure out how to solve the problems ig
like 1-2 are trivial
like you should be able to solve 1-2 consistently
q4 is the hard one
but it's super often just a hashmap question
i be struggling with q2 ngl
gotta up the LC count first
just have to get lucky on q4. It can be insanely hard sometimes
q2 has always been pretty consistently a chill question to me
what type of questions do you get for q2
idk I did a codesignal today to see if it was still doable
and it seems consistent
for the q2 I got today
Like I've seen solid LC meds all the way to hard LC hard
it was given a string like "1233345"
if there's the same character
add all the digits
so the new string is like "12945"
i see
q4 i'd agree
i'm assuming thats a two pointer question
Q1 and Q2 pretty consistent LC easy- low end LC medium
or even hashmap
the one I just mentioned?
yeah
nah it was literally just a while loop
I just looked at the problem and knew I'd have to iterate through
and then to check for duplicates
i got the bucket file allocation one like 3 times in a row for q2 lol
I knew it'd be like while (string[i] == string[i+1]: do something
because that's generally how you check for duplicates in a row
or to merge stuff like mergeInterval
wait i just noticed
I haven't gotten anything other than strings and array questions for gca
sounds about right
whos paying highest for tech this year
Optiver i think
non quant
probs Stripe but not hiring NG lmao
fake money
stripe is dead
idk if it is since I've heard you can sell stripe stock back to the company
robux > stripe stock at 100 bill valuation
idk how true that is though
nah if you can sell stripe stock back to the company Stripe > Roblox
otherwise idk
no literal robux the virtual currency
is stripe 260 fy or recurring
im just playing but their new grad offer for Stripe is juiced if you can actually sell the equity
I've seen palantir on levels at 230
does anyone know benchling or applied intuition offers
False
Pinterest, Roblox, Netflix probably up there in the top with offers this year
seeing as Meta is basically dead
does amything beat 270 fy 230 recurring?
U can nego meta/google to 290
Idk about recurring
True, unless ur return intern
yeah this year fucked
I'm 100% doing this if I don't get something pretty good this cycle
meh I have 100k+ tc recurring but I think I could get a sig pay boost just by job hopping in 1 year from now lmao
I'm ready to bully all those NG next year for those early career roles
bruh i got a flexport tech interview thurs and fri and i think imma get fucked.
same I have no idea what to expect
Fair. The only potential offers I have are less than 100k though
whens your first one
rip fair
I just want something around 150 starting out
cancelled palantir interview cause ik ima get clapped
This year you mean 2023?
yes
Mine is back to back 9-11 AM on Thursday
Is it really that bad?
But google has put a lot of open roles
like it's legit sys design not dummed down new grad system design
interesting mine got split into two days. first one isnt till thursday afternoon... lmk how it goes 🙏
barely hiring for NG this year though
besides recruiter reachouts or previous year interviewees
Yeah but I only have 1 almost legit offer. I’m not counting msft
Did anyone recently give the Data Engineer interview with Veeva systems?
Yeah doing 25 problems a week lol
Same lmaooo
I’m just now realizing how diff TC is than actual base salary
Especially w paper money TC can be like 180 but you might ever only see like 100 of it
It's even worse your salary is 100k but you have to pay taxes on an additional 80k of RSU's that you can't even sell it's kind of a mess
Only if company isn't public
Yeah
But even public companies you can boom or bust based on the share price when you get your initial stock grant. Like lots of people at Snap's comp got cut in half basically bc their stock grant price was like 60-80 and it's 10 rn.
twice now ive been contacted by recruiters for a position i was resume rejected for
like smd jeez
Which is why you budget with base lmfao
Yep that’s exactly what I’m realizing
At umich we have a required “professionalism” class
That talks about stuff like this
That’s actually really nice
Agreed
And we had to make a budget and stuff
With health insurance, car payments etc
Lmao
It’s a chill but lowkey interesting class
Wait do you pay taxes on the rsu??
is expedia oa a fuckin "strengths based assessment"
what is this
is it a behaviorial 
I thought it was only when you sell
At vest time it’s treated as income
when u sell u pay the delta in cap gains
Like Amazon oa 2
Oh shit that’s awful
someone mentioned for non traded companies it’s wack
Is it different for options?
like worse or...
Options are on exercise afaik not sure not common for public cos
amazon oa 2 was ass pp
Yeah at public companies almost everyone does sell to cover so they sell the required stock to cover the tax burden but it's messy when you can't actually liqudate the stock
Some startups will loan you a 0% interest loan to cover the taxes but this can be a shit show if the company goes under like fast recently
Good thing I’m not at a private company like figma 
I did say better. Less time consuming.
To weed out the ppl that suck
wtf was that Rippling OA, easiest shit ever lmao
2 LC easies, 4 easy MC trivia, and a question where you make an API request and sort the response lol
was that hackerrank?
i gotta do that OA
cuz that sounds exactly like the flexport oa but instead of two LC easies it was 1 lc med
yea it was
LETS GO
yeah so they probs clicked the same buttons when deciding what was gonna be on their oa lol
PALANTIR INTERVIEW SECURED THANKS TO RECRUITER EMAIL
does anyone know how long should we wait to hear back after Databricks final vo?
so is karat just 3 leetcode questions in 60 mins?
i realized that systems and network principles, PL trivia, and system design are important now
ive heard a lot of new grad interviews asking for some of this
palantirs karat is 10 minutes of algo questions (whats the runtime of this code, would this implementation work? etc)
