but the hopium is that the referral was finally processed and you need to "resubmit" it to make it thru the referral now

#

idea: We should pin successful resumes on the Resume Forum

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

fair zinc
latent sun
#

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

teal jackal
#

i think the 180k tc dream is dead for 2023 grads

#

local and mid tier companies gonna be stacked

fair zinc
#

I am on the OA pipeline

#

but I didn't do the OA by the deadline

teal jackal
#

7-8 month gap can be justified

#

depending on the reason

#

but i think the whole hysteria over resume gaps is rightfully dying

fair zinc
#

Duolingo has sent final round to people without the OA?

teal jackal
#

i think resume gaps shouldnt be career suicide

teal jackal

#

I'm a duolingo simp

#

let me know if you guys have an update

🥲 not me

autumn ridge
# teal jackal i think the 180k tc dream is dead for 2023 grads

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

hexed moth
#

no that's totally true

clever orbit
#

gap?

#

anyone do hrt algo engineer process?

hexed moth

but i know duo resume rejected a TON of people

#

interview bars are through the roof

#

meaning

#

the bar to get one at all

#

and the bar to pass one

hexed moth
#

memorization i guess

#

better practice with various things

tardy geode
#

do you guys use ipad instead of pen and paper while solving LC probs?

hexed moth
#

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

tardy geode
#

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

hexed moth
#

yeah dont buy an ipad for solely lc lmao

#

i have an ipad to store my notes and shit like that

uncut umbra
#

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

hexed moth
#

i have 300+ papers on my ipad from doing lit reviews etc

uncut umbra
#

the more you know the less likely you are to get fucked with an lc

hexed moth
#

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

autumn ridge
hexed moth
#

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

autumn ridge
#

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

hexed moth
#

foggy perch

i think pipeline is too fucked with all the apps

late kestrel
#

they are, but have a rep for doing exactly what you experienced lately

foggy perch
#

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

#

#

Funny how the internship recruiting scene this year is like the opposite of new grad, even companies on hiring freeze are hiring hella interns

foggy perch
#

they're just praying hiring will get better so the interns can be an investment for next year ig

topaz elk
#

BB expedited is insane

#

What the fuck

autumn ridge
#

Because interns are great if you know you want to hire in the future but are unsure right now

autumn ridge
foggy perch
#

i'm just so sad amazon pipeline being busted means I can't nego up my other offer

#

sorry

#

okay so

#

I took phone last Wed

foggy perch
#

companies are still hiring lmao

topaz elk
#

They told me expedited Sun

foggy perch
#

they're just filtering way harder rn

topaz elk
#

I took first technical 50 min today

#

Then

#

They called me right after

foggy perch
#

It's just the lower bar companies are lowering hiring

topaz elk
#

told i passe

foggy perch
#

imo

topaz elk
#

then I have to schedule it for today

#

LOL

#

so now i have another one

late kestrel
#

dauymm

topaz elk
#

in like

#

2.5 hours?

autumn ridge
#

What the fuck lol

topaz elk
#

they said

#

they only have 3 slots left

#

and i took 1

#

and i took the latest one

late kestrel
#

recruiter reachout or cold apply?

topaz elk
#

so if you take it and pass now, you might get a call

#

cold apply

late kestrel
#

damn

autumn ridge
#

damn well wish me luck I have mine in 30 min lol

topaz elk
#

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

autumn ridge
#

wait so i'm confused so it's essentially the VO round but they still do pass fail after the first interview

topaz elk
#

they said you can drop out of the expedited

#

and itll be more 2 hours

#

no

late kestrel
topaz elk
#

expedited is much faster

#

yes

#

So far

late kestrel

#

doing their fiansl like

#

a month

#

after scheduling

autumn ridge
# topaz elk thats it

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

topaz elk
#

talking to the recruiter, she said that basically they have dedicated engineers that sign up for this week

#

to do expedited

ye us grads are fucked

foggy perch
#

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

topaz elk
autumn ridge
#

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

white escarp
#

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

topaz elk
#

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

white escarp
#

look at it as an opportunity 🤣

#

make ur start up and goes boom after recession

late kestrel
teal jackal
#

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

buoyant fable
#

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

weak latch
#

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

weak latch
#

nah

#

no shot

#

1/15 and 10/15 LMFAO

small mountain
#

what was the other q like

weak latch
#

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

small mountain
#

more doable at least

#

i believe

weak latch
#

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

small mountain
#

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

weak latch
#

i know that it exists but no clue how its implemented

#

i know its like quick sort

weak latch
#

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

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"

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

that's what ive been doing a bit, watching his videos on youtube

do you guys look at solutions a lot?

foggy perch

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

should i put 0 if company application asks for compensation expectation

like 150-160k+

for the q2 I got today

how'd you solve it

and then to check for duplicates

old smelt

i got the bucket file allocation one like 3 times in a row for q2 lol

foggy perch

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

V good point

autumn ridge

Only if company isn't public

Yeah

autumn ridge

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.

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
