For API coding I had a lot of experience from prev internships.

OOD is pretty simple as well

I've also found that interviewers like if u know the language well. So if ur using python, always type hint and try to use "pythonic" syntax

is there any DSA course in Python?

python takes an L for not having a sorted dictionary

no its not

then it would have LogN insert

I mean sorted by insertion

nah

thats ordered dict

im talking about sorted by key

livid yew

ordered dick?

lament basin
#

c++ map uses a red/black tree

timber rock
#

just put sorted() around it

#

lol

lament basin
#

lmfao

#

thats nlogn each call

#

which works if u pre-process

#

but

#

if u need real time sorted order

#

it becomes N^2logn if u sort each time u need the order (for the whole array, assuming u sort each time)

#

and thats no dinero

there is no lc problem or interview where you will be allowed to use a sorted dict

In interviews, you can always assume you have access to a sorted set/sorted map

# teal jackal name and shame

Fidelity SWE LEAP program. The feedback was my programming knowledge was good but lacked in networking tools.

If we want to further name and shame, it was a stupid 21 questions type of interview like he was reading off flashcards, not really about problem solving. My interviewer never started off asking the "tell me about yourself, why fidelity...." he just started asking questions off his sheet and hit a point he was like oh wait I need to see ur resume…. So he obviously didn’t care about the being there interviewing me.

Double sucks bc I was using this interview process for confidence and to feel better about myself about a few final round rejects from tech heavy companies earlier this semester (BB, G, Expedia), which now I guess I don’t even meet the banking bar… rip. And even worse when the HR person called to reject she stressed how entry level this position was so that made me feel like shit 😢

do you guys know how a sorted set is implemented?

there's really only one problem i've encountered where u need a sorted dict

to actually have short code thats somewhat optimal

teal jackal

its the companys fault this time

#

not yours

lament basin
#

i think

coarse quiver
#

I've encountered multiple problems requiring a sorted set for an optimal solution, but it's like around 1-2% of problems

lament basin

if its small numbers

#

u can just create array

where each index maps to element

red/black better

cuz its not fully balanced

# dim pulsar sounds like a newbie question but I am one... what would yall do different if yo...

Pick a popular language and become proficient in it. Not just to the level of being able to complete assignments but actual, full-fledged projects from scratch (start with small projects and build up ofc).

Also as soon as you finish your first data structures & algorithms course, start Leetcoding. It's much better to be prepared for interviews ahead of time so you're not floundering during courses + internship search.

Also look into the early degree opportunities the big tech companies offer (Microsoft aspire, FB university, Google STEP etc.). It's an easier way to break into FAANG early

dim pulsar

also what's an early degree opportunity?? I sound like a noob I kn

do companies higher you while your in college???

the LC tends to be easier than what they ask juniors/seniors as well

#

@dim pulsar Oh also this is more lifestyle advice but incorporate healthy habits. You want to maximize mental + physical health because it'll give you a big boost in the grind.

Good sleep, diet, exercise and meditation (if so inclined but defs the first three)

dim pulsar

I'll keep that in my head, already go to the gym but I'll incorporate the others into my daily as well

I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience with this company. It can be frustrating and disappointing to be rejected after investing time and effort in the job application process. However, it is generally not a good idea to send an angry or disrespectful email in response to a rejection. This can damage your professional reputation and make it more difficult for you to find opportunities in the future.

Instead of expressing anger or frustration, you may want to consider using this as an opportunity to learn and grow. You could ask for feedback on your application or interview performance, or consider seeking out other job opportunities that align more closely with your goals and strengths.

It's understandable to feel upset after a rejection, but it's important to remember that the job search process often involves setbacks and disappointments. By staying positive and proactive, you can increase your chances of finding a job that is a good fit for you.

I haven’t done a traditional cs degree so for example I just finished my Data Structures, Algorithms, and Computer Systems classes. I haven’t had an internship. I figure I’ll be too be next semester to seriously leet code. Don’t companies hire for zero experience roles year round?

Don’t companies hire for zero experience roles year round? (For non-traditional/boot campers) Or is there a distinct advantage in applying for new grad roles that advertise themselves as such?

Not all companies hire year round, varies idk the details of who hires when. Most of the super big tech giants hired year round, but they're also not hiring at all right now dogesmile

Many zero experience roles will tend to be labeled "new grad" or "campus" or something like that, which may or may not be advertised year round. Job I started a few months ago was listed sometime in the early fall as a '23 new grad role. ime most companies will consider you a "new grad" within 12 mo of graduation. one company rejected me specifically for being a '23 grad, otherwise none filtered me based on that, as far as I know. I did get asked a few times what I did between graduation and looking for work.

#

afaik fb/google/amazon hired year round in the past

#

not sure what pattern there is for companies that do specific recruiting cycles, maybe trading firms

#

I had interview rounds with all of em off cycle

#

for ng

#

wdym

#

isn't june uh != aug/sept

#

I mean they do a recruiter screen or w/e but no it wasn't scheduling stuff for later

ivory stratus
#

Ok question for people

#

Im doing an apprenticeship/internship kind if thing with Hawaiian Airlines where they can hire me anytime during it this coming semester. The pay for new grad is $70k. Would you guys be looking for new grad stuff for next recruiting cycle or should i stay there and get some YOE before moving companies

peak ferry
#

I had a Google phone technical screen done in june, which I passed and then got ghosted because freeze, otherwise it would have been onsites scheduled asap.

amazon had onsites scheduled for july which I intentionally delayed and then never did cuz i didn't want to lmao

facebook reached out in late december, and I was too lazy to do it, so I ignored it until they froze hiring KEKW_RECESSION_EDITION

#

big tech not it rn, js historically I'm p sure they didn't have an issue with recruiting year round. some random places I don't remember exactly did the whole start recruiting for ng in fall shebang. (+trading which seems to actually do the recruiting in fall for limited spots type deal)

peak ferry
#

definitely not but I also didn't do off season interns

#

they are 100% not as common tho

spark bay
#

Well yes I agree if I had done the traditional cs degree I would have started to grind leetcode/ apply for jobs before the summer was over and also had some runway with maybe other internships. I’m definitely not concerned with optimizing my life so I’m more asking this in the sense of given my situation: now what?

I’ve always been told it’s better to graduate in the winter cause you can come straight onboard through the spring while most of the new grad pool can’t start until the spring / summer. And even you take the typical amount of time for a job search you’ll have started the process earlier, get a job earlier and start making money earlier than you would have if you had graduated later. Not to mention the tuition money you save.
