also I always implement lazy cuz decrease key doesnt exist in most stls

#

would be awkward to explain

forest aspen
#

i used a for each loop in java and my interviewer said that it was a python only feature and that i could not use it

peak ferry
#

oh yea def

dusky lark
#

I once used a var in Java and my interviewer shot my dog

forest aspen
peak ferry
#

get that shit out of my java code base

#

this isn't fuckin c++ land

Python be like

forest aspen

peak ferry
#

like for example you cannot write the type for a lambda in C++ by hand, it's literally not possible. you have to use auto or it will be cast to something else

ripe marsh
#

like for (auto x : arr)

peak ferry
#

if you want to do a structured binding you also need to use auto

shrewd ivy
#

based

peak ferry
#

also auto **helps you avoid making type mistakes, you can actually fuck up for each if you try to manually specify the type

#

c++ is the devils language

peak ferry
forest aspen
#

i honestly love c++ but ive been only coding in python for interviews 😐 im not going to try to do interviews in anything else

honestly

lilac grotto
#

any textbooks to learn modern c++ or what

#

how to learn this shit

forest aspen
#

my hot take is to learn c++ right you should serioyusly just download a textbook from the internet and read it

ripe marsh
#

I had a c++ interviewer ask me what the difference between smart ptrs and unique ptrs were and that’s when i gave up on c++ :)

dusky lark
#

can i create backend servers in C

lilac grotto
#

i want to

I haven’t touched lc in a year

TreeMap<Integer,TreeSet<Integer>>

peak ferry

#

in java and python ur basically always passing around pointers so you it's hard to accidentally blow something up, but c++ has lots of potentially very expensive implicit operations

#

but sometimes they're cheap! hahahamadge

forest aspen
#

how much more expensive is it to use defaultdict? i remember i implemented a problem using it and it made it like a 1000ms slower in every test i ran

#

and that was the only change

#

but i agree with you - its useful

peak ferry
#

lc performance metrics are horribly inconsistent

dense cloud
#

yeah i alw run my soln multiple times until i get a good runtime4KEKW

forest aspen
#

LOL

#

nah the chad solution is to hardcode the test cases one by one till you get the fastest runtime and submit "[PYTHON] FASTEST O(1) SOLUTOIN || BEATS 99.9999%"

#

I had epic systems recruiter but tbh I heard bad things about epic systems

#

Including mandatory rto in Wisconsin

I was hoping it was epic games

#

not epic 😦

#

just want to get some suggestions here. Currently have an offer for linkedin summer intern and a full-time NG offer from a startup (Nextdoor), just wondering which one you guys think I should choose?

#

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

forest aspen
#

both evil_kermit

lament summit
#

TC for next door?

#

That’ll help decide which to pick

teal jackal
#

i turned on "open to work" mode on linkedin and its mixed results tbh
it doesnt attract any target tech companies

#

like big n companies

forest aspen
#

i got reached out to by a fax machine company!

ocean walrus

#

honestly gives me comfort knowing that the class averages are so low and that my 60% is higher than average

forest aspen
teal jackal
#

open to work mode is not that useful tbh, target companies arent gonna be coming to u as a new grad unless you have some cracked experience or theyre trying to hire you for a role that nobody else wants to do

wtf? cisco oa gotta be the hardest OA i've taken so far

lilac grotto

id imaigne youd have to reach out to them and say you have two positions you have the opportunity to accept and you would like to do both and suggest a schedule that could acomodate both right after each other

low scroll
#

first was an easy, but second and third were def not easy

#

second was a dp problem

lament summit
low scroll
#

third wa matrix which i've never done

calm shale
#

more importantly pay well

forest aspen
#

this is the hard version right? where you have to check more than one word at a time?

lilac grotto
#

what rhe heck

forest aspen
lilac grotto
#

last year cisco gave me leetcode trivials

#

like wouldnt even be on dp

#

i mean

#

wouldnt even be on lc

low scroll
#

but shit was hard for no reason

teal jackal
#

i got epic systems, veeva and hive.ai. im not mad since veeva seems aight and hive seems interesting

forest aspen
#

usually they reword lc questions and dont just rip them

#

so youd have to know the problem before even knowing where to look for it on lc

#

but it prolly was on lc in a diff format

low scroll
lilac grotto
teal jackal
#

is cisco actually hard?

#

damn

forest aspen
#

which is avlid

#

but theyre so annoying

then u can spend all money on hookers and blow

lilac locust

i would say HCOL

because young adults usually want to gtfo if they can afford it

its human nature

lilac locust

i love my food

lilac grotto

its why we left etheopia 100k years ago

wheat seal
lilac grotto
#

because our parents house was silly

#

i like my parents but also want to have my own palce

wheat seal

If they are super chill about everything then I wouldn’t mind tbh

lilac grotto

#

Anyone has any suggestion for free mock interviews for amazon?

lilac grotto
#

whatever we want to, at this point natural selection isnt rly a thing (i have bad eyesight because we dont need good eyes anymore). sexual selection will be the only real thing

#

so whatever we deem hot is what will win out

#

then gaslight him into thinking it was an actual interview after he says you did good job

lilac locust
teal jackal
#

its usually good if interviewer tells u next steps right

#

even though he said it in like a "we'll get in contact if youre selected for the final" kinda way

azure zephyr

ive been trying to schedule my bloomberg phone for days but the link isnt working and the recruiter isnt responding to any of my emails 😭

fossil jewel
#

they got lots of people in the pipeline

gentle lantern
#

Ok ty

#

If you fail, do you get a message faster? I heard bloomberg sends out rejects pretty fast

azure zephyr
#

im indecisive

fossil jewel
gentle lantern
#

Ah shit did u fail?

fossil jewel
#

yeah unfortunately, it is what it is though

gentle lantern
#

Aw unlucky man

#

Appreciate the info though

#

how well did you think you did on the onsites?

fossil jewel
#

yeah i think if you search up "bloomberg offer" in the grad process channels, you'd see some people posting timelines

fossil jewel
gentle lantern
#

Ah ok gotcha

fossil jewel
#

but i kinda stumbled due to a mix of not being well prepared, overthinking, and lack of sleep due to overthinking

#

but its very random, some folks get easier q's, some get harder

chilly burrow
#

šŸ¤–

gentle lantern
#

Hm I see, were you able to get all the optimal solutions or no?

chilly burrow
#

It's pretty useful

gentle lantern

I also had a few hiccups during a question but I believe I got the optimal solutions for all of em

fossil jewel
#

yeah both my interviewers were pretty chill so i thought i did better but at the same time, i probably just needed more preparation

azure zephyr
gentle lantern
#

I think explaining your thought process goes a long way too even if you stumble a bit

azure zephyr
#

so ive been trying to get in contact with my recruiter for days but she isnt responding lmao

gentle lantern
#

Yeah I also got really lucky too, 3/4 questions were from bb tagged

fossil jewel
#

shit happens so im not too mad, just kinda bummed but its w.e

gentle lantern
#

Yeah thats a really good mentality to have

#

u got any other interviews lined up?

fossil jewel
#

during the summer it was an ML proj, and I worked on doing data engineering and ml ops

fossil jewel
#

they do

#

ik someone who's doing the internship as a master's student

#

could've probably applied for FT but idk

wheat seal
#

I heard jpmc was really slow

#

But maybe it’s team dependent

fossil jewel
#

seems rng

wheat seal
#

I meant like with the job

#

Like working the job

#

It’s really slow I heard

fossil jewel
#

eh kinda, getting access to things can take time since its a lot of financial/classified

#

since its slow, its pretty chill

wheat seal
#

Do they have oncall?

fossil jewel
#

probably depends on team

wheat seal
#

Oh I c

fossil jewel
#

and if deadlines are soon

wheat seal
#

Some teams prob busy

fossil jewel
#

might've been diff for interns though

#

but i clocked out at exactly 5p everyday lol

#

sometimes sooner, no one really cared

wheat seal
fossil jewel
#

yep, we actually made something from scratch compared to some other interns who either added features or were doing testing

#

lots of trial and error but quite valuable experience

wheat seal
#

Wait some swe interns did testing?

#

They match up swe interns with ste teams?

fossil jewel
#

yeah you do a survey specifying interests/skills and send over your resume and they just match you

wheat seal
#

Any experience is good

fossil jewel
#

yeah i actually ended up doing python and some cloud

wheat seal
#

I had a non swe related internship lol

#

And also a swe one

#

Doesn’t matter too much

fossil jewel
#

my non swe internship was pre-med related lol

tbh i think im trying to shed off the lie that i was fed as a kid, that "youre a gifted kid destined for an amazing future"
i dont think thats true anymore, at all
i realize that my potential isnt amazing
i want to be okay being okay

#

ive realized that i cant shoot for the stars
im not that smart, nor am i sociable or charismatic

#

i think i should just focus on enjoying what i have

azure zephyr
#

nah a little different than honors

#

i was a "gifted" student and it honestly put more pressure on me in middle school & high school than anything else lmao

teal jackal
#

but tbh being called gifted all my life

#

is the root cause of my current suffering

#

i hate that ive wasted all my energy in life trying to aim for some goal that feels so out-of-reach now that im close to it

#

when i should enjoyed it instead

#

if the concept of a gifted child didnt exist i wouldnt be all fucked up and depressed and shit

i should have hung out with my stoner nerd friends in high school
one of my biggest regrets in high school was splitting up with them around the time they started to become stoners, and instead splitting off to chase APs, honors, and college admissions

#

none of the hustlers in high school were my real friend

#

i always felt out of place with them

Would you be changing locations by switching jobs?

I would honestly renege and take the half year off. I don’t think leaving less than a year is really a black mark if you can explain it and don’t have repeated occurrences of it though
