[livid yew]

Microsoft rejected me for 4 different roles

[rain patio]

Ye seems like it, might have wasted my time on those

[jovial latch]

but not actually though lol linkedin is a god damn cesspool of bullshit

[vital leaf]

okay, I will cut down some blocks

[tender sluice]

same

[rain patio]

Bro has work experience too, I'm screwed 💀

[grizzled bronze]

Nah, once you start doing it daily it's easy to filter out the bullshit

[jovial latch]

i do it daily lol

i have a system

doesnt mean i like the process

[rain patio]

How many a day

[grizzled bronze]

Same, I get sick of it sometimes and take a break from constantly looking

[pine topaz]

I do 10 LC a day

No breaks.

Liek it or Not.

[jovial latch]

not number but i spend like 2 hours a day checking job boards n shit

[grizzled bronze]

But why, I thought you have a job

[past cave]

Are Faang hiring at all for this grad season?

[pine topaz]

I love the pain

[past cave]

:((

[jovial latch]

oh god hes one of those people

gross

[rain patio]

I like trying to solve leetcode efficiently myself before looking at solutions so I sometimes spend all day on one leetcode sometimes which is probably a bad idea

[jovial latch]

i genuinely dont understand people that enjoy leetcode and the whole technical interview process

i just always assume someone hit them too hard in the head as a kid

[past cave]

All I got so far is an 80k offer in AZ :(( Faang dream is dead

[jovial latch]

my guys thats an offer

[rain patio]

I would take an 80k offer in AZ rn instantly

[grizzled bronze]

I can understand it being enjoyable only when you don't have to do it under the pressure of having to find a job

[jovial latch]

i could probably make a list of cs tropes of people that annoy me tbh

[lament basin]

AZ is lit

[jovial latch]

not really though

[pine topaz]

im interested to hear

[rain patio]

My first ever interview bro asked me sql questions (failed the interview)

[pine topaz]

people like @pulsar mural should be on the list

[rain patio]

I wish it was just leetcode

I fucked up not going for internships but I hate cs and wanted to chill during the summer bruh

[jovial latch]

ill get back to yiu

[dry salmon]

Associate software Eng

[vital leaf]

Sys dev engineer

My resume didn't get past the screening

[grizzled bronze]

Did you happen to have Meta/FAANG in your resume? In some cases that can be a red flag for them

Since they want people who will stick with them long term and won't job hop

[lone copper]

Not specifically, it wasn't targeting new grad

[vital leaf]

Yes

[jovial latch]

not mutually exclusive list of cs tropes that annoy me that i came up with just now

• people that enjoy leetcode for its own sake and the tech interview process
• elon musk simps
• 'oh noooo i didnt get into faang my life is ruined ahhhhh'
• cs elitism (probably someone who doesnt shower)
• silicon valley, tech culture simps
• coding is their only personality (not the act of coding outside of work, some people like that, whatever)
• social media cs influencers (god damn it not everyone should code)
• gamers (click bait word, but the kinda people who do cs cause good with computers usually are imcompetent, which is the key problem)
• they dont have fucking hygenie
• weebs
• people that post on linkedin

@pine topaz

[rain patio]

Based

[fossil jewel]

i only like leetcode when i figure out the question

otherwise i hate it and the ego hit it gives me

[jovial latch]

i may have to edit that list with more shit but i think that just about covers it

about why i kinda fuckin hate the tech industry

[fossil jewel]

oh have you had the gamers who think they're entitled to being a cs major bc they're good with computers

[jovial latch]

they just amuse me cause they drop out and then switch majors

[fossil jewel]

remote classes helped many out

[jovial latch]

actually you know what they're bloating the applicant pool ill add them

there i updated it

[fossil jewel]

i remember someone leaving a project (assembly lang x86 out of all things) till a few days before

then asks me if i started

told him somewhat, and he asked if i can give him the code

i just nopped and sent him the stackoverflow that helped me out

[rain patio]

One cs trope I noticed is that there's a lot of weebs

[fossil jewel]

feels weird not being a weeb when everyone is tbh

[jovial latch]

facts

[fossil jewel]

but my non-cs major friends also like anime

[rain patio]

I watch anime but I wouldnt say I'm a weeb

[night marsh]

Anyone applied to Ramp NG?

[jovial latch]

honestly kinda forgot bout that trope

that should cover it

[fossil jewel]

oh this guy then pays someone to do his final project (game in x86) and prof catches him and gives him an F

[night marsh]

They have a challenge for the application but idk what it's for

[fossil jewel]

guy is the most entitled and fights with dept and gets C

then has the audacity to say prof is an asshole who failed him for no reason

[night marsh]

Hate it when that happens

Annoying thing is that they barely get repercussions and go on to become wealthy and shit

[jovial latch]

the last bullet is a joke but i think the rest of it is valid

[fossil jewel]

nothing wrong with wanting money tbh

but only money as inspo isnt enough sometimes

[jovial latch]

i never said anything about money

[fossil jewel]

to battle thru degree

[rain patio]

I may or may not fall into this category

[jovial latch]

if you're competent and you're only doing it for money, aight whatever thats cool

i respect it

oh i guess i did put it in there

whoops

[fossil jewel]

yeah there's the money followers caused by the day in life influencers

and dont care/know anything

[jovial latch]

yea im not exactly precise with my words

[fossil jewel]

think that tones it down ig

[grizzled bronze]

What about Yahkuna simps and Anti-Yahkunaers

[jovial latch]

i think its more of a incompetence thing like idc as long as i can work with you fine

[fossil jewel]

im the only anti yahkuna

too many simps

[jovial latch]

i just came up with this in like 2 minutes, im aslo not precise with my wordsl ol

[fossil jewel]

think different

its bc of this weirdo @pulsar mural

[teal jackal]

car enthusiasm is rare among CS majors tbh

its an inverse trope for cs majors

[fossil jewel]

should've been a MechE

i met so many car guys in there

[jovial latch]

i mean is it that common in other majors?

[teal jackal]

Tbh not that common as a whole

[jovial latch]

lmfao

[teal jackal]

but especially uncommon among young gen z white collars

[fossil jewel]

why do you think everyone's learning C++

[night marsh]

wdym I've always wanted to work at Optiver

I'm an Optivist at heart 😤

[teal jackal]

i mean why tf else would you do quant
Because you're saving peoples lives?

[jovial latch]

i can respect cars i just am indifferent to them
though admittedley the interest has risen slightly cause ive been playing a fuck ton need for speed lately

hehe

[fossil jewel]

C++ has always been my favorite language, i esp love it when i get Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[teal jackal]

lemme wipe my tears with my $50k monthly paycheck

[night marsh]

Think of it this way - if all the toxic ppl are there, that means less toxicity in other companies for us

[jovial latch]

I would also like to add this reddit post to tropes that annoy me

some people are just broken in their heads

[fossil jewel]

[teal jackal]

tbh if i worked at reddit as a director or VP id rework the upvote system, so that a post with 40% upvotes doesnt end up at the bottom

like 40% of people still think the post was intriguing

[fossil jewel]

there's the "if i dont get big N, its career suicide"

[jovial latch]

yea no one else said anything, they just upvoted my 1 word response lol

[fossil jewel]

"TC or GTFO" is probably the worst trope

blind

[jovial latch]

falls under tech culture/silicon valley simps i guess

[fossil jewel]

ppl troll on levels now sadly

[night marsh]

Albertsons 💯

[jovial latch]

a lot of my interests are tech related but i never talk about fuckin code shit in my free time
video game tech, computer hardware, n other shit interests me al ot

[fossil jewel]

it depends on who im around too

[vital meteor]

You guys are in a bubble, none of my friends are in Google

[jovial latch]

i also host a poker game with buncha my friends lol

[fossil jewel]

big part of my irl friends arent actually cs majors

[night marsh]

I'm into writing, drawing, and gaming, so I don't talk about tech or interact with it much in my freetime off school or grinding. However, I do like reading about distributed systems

Been straight up told that someone thought I was a Bio major

whatever that means

[jovial latch]

most people have not read ASOIAF and it kills me

oh yea no nothing wrong with talking bout code outside of work
its a problem when its your entire personality going non stop

cause at that point, basically a tech culture simp

[fossil jewel]

i havent read that no

i have read other books

[jovial latch]

i always get worked up when game of thrones is mentioned

[fossil jewel]

i borrow ebooks thru my library

its very nice

libby ftw

[jovial latch]

the mainstream opinion is 'oh season 8 ruined everything'
the actual truth is that that shit was designed to fail from the beginning

i mean only if you've developed some sense of attachment to your job

ive always had a barrier between work and personal fulfillment

which is fine mind you

but you know, tech culture simps would have you believe you're gonna solve cancer or something

[night marsh]

I mean, that's okay. World keeps operating because people are there to maintain it lol
It becomes an issue if you don't branch out your skills after a couple of years. Then you stagnate

[jovial latch]

well thats a whole discussion on career growth

[teal jackal]

OMG ME 😻

[jovial latch]

i care about what i do in terms of what it means for future career growth and potential better benefits, tc

[distant rampart]

hi all. i just posted my resume and would love to get feedbacks..! thank u in advance

[night marsh]

It's a perpendicular tangent lol.
Just saying that wanting to crud isn't exactly dishonorable. It applies to any discipline to stay sharp to avoid stagnation lol

[teal jackal]

Speaking of how coding is only one aspect of software development, its why the whole fear that chatgpt will make software engineering obsolete is FUD

[pine topaz]

@pulsar mural is all of them

[night marsh]

If anything it'll separate good engineers from bad ones

A good engineer will know what types of questions to ask it. A bad engineer will just give the entire prompt without any idea as to how the code works lmao

And that's assuming you're allowed to use it at work

[distant rampart]

#1073374883247030353 message this one! 🙏

[jovial latch]

well good thing i got this ml degree

[dusky ledge]

ramp just opened up backend 2023 position

[jovial latch]

i get to work on the ai that will assist engineers

[jovial latch]

yea honestly what the fuck does it even mean

i didnt get it at all

[dusky ledge]

where tf is the challenge

yeah

[jovial latch]

i dont think its that competent

like what is this

[teal jackal]

OMFG NOT RAMP

WHAT A FUCKING WASTE OF TIME

[jovial latch]

i think the links jsut fucking broken

idk i didnt do cysec crpytography shit

dunno how to decipher crap

[dusky ledge]

yeah lmfao

[jovial latch]

nah they did post an app today

thats where this dumbass bs is from

[dusky ledge]

https://ramp.com/careers

[jovial latch]

oh my god i forgot to add people that post on linkedin

it isn ot

that bad?

like i dont even know what the problem is

idk what the whole question is lmao

all i see is a wall of text

like is it a cipher or some other bs?

[pulsar mural]

Yo

[grizzled bronze]

yo

[vital meteor]

Hi friend

[grizzled bronze]

You're getting ahead of yourself, get the offer first and then think about it

Because they have a high bar

[jovial latch]

Idfk lol

[fossil jewel]

eh i think you came in terms of it early tho

[grizzled bronze]

Completing the CTFs for Ramp = OA, they still resume screen you afterwards and reject you

[pine topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/manul-gif-20108972

[teal jackal]

bro i was salty as fuck all season tbh

[fossil jewel]

valid reasons

[teal jackal]

but tbh if i just got a typical f500 job i probably would have been happy

and called it quits

for new grad

[fossil jewel]

thats what i did

[teal jackal]

if C1 didnt rescind my pday

[fossil jewel]

just gonna ride this wave till it calms down

[teal jackal]

just having job security is a stress reliever

[fossil jewel]

im not from CA but is that what they do?

[teal jackal]

doesnt matter too much just how much TC it is

a 100k+ job is enough to get the stress off my back

[fossil jewel]

yeah its easy to be consumed by the prestige and TC

yeah startup work seems to be exciting

you have more impact at start ups

high risk high reward

[green oyster]

Hello, anyone recently gave goldman sachs – skillset coderpad interview? if yes please dm 🙂 thanks in advance.

[jovial latch]

I'll take good wlb n compensation lol over extremely interesting work

This is usually fine if you haven't made coding your entire personality

If your life is coding, then the notion of not doing crazy intense work kinda fucks your head up

[fossil jewel]

yeah wlb is kingggg

basically i want to be out 5PM

every once in a blue moon working later is fine by me

[jovial latch]

Or 3 hours of actual work a day remotely

[fossil jewel]

i'd rather spend time with loved ones

[jovial latch]

No you will spend time at our sweet silicon valley campus where we give you free pizza

Oh no you can't afford rent in silicon valley, don't worry we have spots to live in our campus building

So now you can work and live here!

There is a reason why silicon valley companies have really crazy headquarters

Very intentional

[teal jackal]

More than just pizza

[jovial latch]

I'm making a point

[teal jackal]

Tbh the Amazon cafeterias have pretty baller food, it's subsidized so Amazon doesn't profit off it though

Even if it's not free it's nbd

Tbh

[fossil jewel]

ye i liked my cafeteria for the summer

hoping for one in office

[teal jackal]

We do uber eats group orders for my incoming office LOL

We're a small satellite office that only recently got kickstarted up

[foggy perch]

aight wtf I'm late for this but ow2 just had its first based moment @queen valve

One punch man doomfist wtf

cracked

[teal jackal]

But it goes on the company's credit card

[daring gazelle]

that one girl in the coding class

[foggy perch]

i'm unironically going to download ow2

just for the doomfist skin

idk what you're talking about

I'm just gonna get the doomfist skin

then dip

oh wait it's not out until march smh

also nah clearly the right analogy is

i'm like a one time drug user

while you're like a junkee

[fossil jewel]

hi friend!

[foggy perch]

are you still playing ow now

or are you onto other more degen games

pshh

imagine having school

already graduated and started work ez

3.5 years to graduate ez

[fossil jewel]

[foggy perch]

L

guess they decided you weren't cool enough

[fossil jewel]

decided that you're too cracked to be out in the open

[foggy perch]

alternatively

they decided you were too degen to be let out

to the outside world this early

[fossil jewel]

that too

OW2

[foggy perch]

clearly you'll become a peak ow degen once you graduate

i'm ready for this prediction to prove itself true in a few months

so true

idk maybe you strike me more as a sam bankman fried type of quant

obv type of quant to be playing ow during meetings

[fossil jewel]

at least its not league

[foggy perch]

nah I maintain ow more degen than league

🪞

[west egret]

Ayy you’re alive

[west egret]

Nah league is more degen

[foggy perch]

i refuse

[west egret]

What’s the food situation at HRT?

[foggy perch]

obviously the only non-degen game is osu!

[foggy perch]

can't be worse than ours

[west egret]

Do you get free meals?

[west egret]

lol I’ll just eat out or bring my own lunch. I’m not surviving on nuts and fruit only while working FT.

Just grab 2 lunches and heat up one at home

ez

[foggy perch]

that's definitely what most people do

if I quit bb in < 2 years it's because they don't give us free lunch

[grizzled bronze]

Dang, this dude is earning $66K/mo. for video game coaching 🤯
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/09/34-year-olds-business-brings-in-66000-month-i-never-thought-i-could-make-money-playing-video-games.html

[foggy perch]

I like to imagine his time in the army taught him well in how badly he should treat gamers

[west egret]

He’s kind of known for faking his accomplishments though. Said he got challenger but it was in LAN and he supposedly had to duo with someone.

[ivory stratus]

i mean don't need to be a good gamer to run a coaching business though too

[foggy perch]

meh

[west egret]

I keep seeing ppl meme him by saying some basic advice and then going “that’ll be $350”

[foggy perch]

people say that

but i'll always trust a dude more if he practices what he preaches

kinda like how I wouldn't trust a fat fitness trainer as much

even though they could argue he might know a lot

also wait I've probs asked this before, but is hrt hybrid, or do they want you in office every day @queen valve

[dry salmon]

damn that’s stupid af

[west egret]

I think it was more so that he got a lot of clients because of his claims

So it’s false advertising

[foggy perch]

oh nice

how many days per week in office

do you know

oh ok

[ivory stratus]

yeah i guess i get that, but if he's the owner of the business it's a bit different

[foggy perch]

that's pretty good

[west egret]

Do you have a minimum days in office per week?

[foggy perch]

nice

also

have fun with dying with apartment search

once you gotta do that

wtf

how

you aren't even moving in for a couple of months

oh right

smh

imagine having a person already living in nyc

very cringe and unbased

is he a manhattan person

[west egret]

Yeah I’m wondering do I just call up ppl to see the apartments when I get there or literally make an appointment weeks in advance?

[foggy perch]

hm

wait before you say where

is he living in nyc proper?

I would like to guess they are living in lic, williamsburg, or a more general part of brooklyn

[sonic coral]

SMH no one says nyc proper

It’s the city get it right

[foggy perch]

idk

I think I meant to just make sure he isn't like

living in nj

or some nonsense like that

[west egret]

Having family in NYC would make things so much easier. Just spend a week or two scouting the neighborhoods over rushing it.

[foggy perch]

oh

fidi smh

[sonic coral]

It was a godsend for me

[foggy perch]

I envy the location of quant offices in nyc

because fidi is so close to brooklyn

[sonic coral]

Was living in staten for like 2-3 months before finding my roommates at g

[foggy perch]

dang wtf

I just video chatted and yoloed a lease

[sonic coral]

Actually wait more like 4 months lol

I can’t count lmao

But i started in aug, signed a lease in Nov

[foggy perch]

wack

were you living in an airbnb the whole time?

[west egret]

Yeah you don’t have to rush things like getting mattress and kitchen stuff

[sonic coral]

I just said I lived at my parents lol

[foggy perch]

oh

I just read that as lived in staten island

i c i c

[west egret]

I slept on the floor my first night in Cali

[foggy perch]

oh

I did that in Boston

[sonic coral]

I would never pay to live there

[foggy perch]

I slept on my clothes tho

lmao

one step further

[west egret]

I mean either way it’s not going to be comfortable on the floor lol

[foggy perch]

also

this will always be my favorite cs meme

i mean it's not thattttt farr off from what you folk are

[west egret]

@queen valve this will be you

TC and bed frame

No gf

[foggy perch]

so true

I almost didn't have a bedframe

but thankfully my parents brought mine over

so that's marked off the list

[west egret]

lol just order one off Amazon if you don’t have one

As long as it doesn’t collapse it’s fine

[foggy perch]

eh

I don't care enough about a bed frame to spend money on them

i'm absolutely ready to blow my future salary on mechanical keyboards tho

[livid yew]

Tf

Bro you need a bed frame

[timber rock]

cs student moment

[livid yew]

Sleeping on floor is unsanitary

[foggy perch]

eh I think they're nice for the height

what

[west egret]

And box spring

[foggy perch]

how

[livid yew]

Ground is gross, can get moist idk

I've never slept on the floor

[foggy perch]

🤷 sounds like a skill issue

who has moist floors

[livid yew]

I've slept outside in tent tho

And that was nice

[jovial latch]

A bedframe actually makes a difference

[livid yew]

I had a crappy folding one before

[jovial latch]

I've been with and without

[livid yew]

Shit was trash

Got a real one this time

[jovial latch]

A legit one makes all the difference

[livid yew]

[west egret]

Bed frame isn’t even expensive

[foggy perch]

eh i feel like bed frames haven't made a difference in my quality of sleep

[sage nymph]

just got a karat interview with BNY mellon, and I had completed a karat before (for palantir but I didn't make it past the karat round), now karat reached out and said that my last interview (that I did for palantir) "meets the company's bar to move forward to the next round" so I can opt out of the karat interview if I want, and they just send my performance from my last interview....I guess the main question I might ask someone from BNYM is if that assessment is used later on to influence their decision. I definitely feel more confident in my coding skills, been doing my leetcode homework, but I would really kick myself if I decided to do another karat interview and didn't meet the bar this time around.... what yall think?

[west egret]

Ironically I think I actually slept better in Cali when I had my mattress on the floor

[foggy perch]

so true

I mean don't the japanese basically sleep without bed frames

[livid yew]

I have never seen a mattress on floor

[west egret]

I was also more active there though. I had to walk everywhere and had a healthier diet

[foggy perch]

they do futons or whatever

[sonic coral]

Nah you can get bed frames without box springs

[foggy perch]

futon basically a mattress without a bed frame

[sonic coral]

That’s some Japan shit lol

[west egret]

Noted

[livid yew]

Oh for sure

[west egret]

One less thing to buy

[livid yew]

That's the standard these days

A platform frame and mattress

[sonic coral]

Yeah my bed frame was like $75 lol

No reason not to get one

[west egret]

lol me and my 2 roommates just had mattresses on the floor

[foggy perch]

based

[livid yew]

for context this is the one I use

I love it https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Platform-Mattress-Foundation-Headboard/dp/B01B8GQAOO

on sale now

[west egret]

I was literally just searching on Amazon and this was the one I clicked on

[sonic coral]

I also have a zinus but with no headboard

[west egret]

actually nvm slightly diff model

[livid yew]

yeah

zinus is one of the better quality generic chinese brands

[lone rapids]

Anyone here did barclays technical OA for developer graduate?

[livid yew]

found my sofa too https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079K4TVPG/

[sonic coral]

Except for mattresses

[livid yew]

oh

[sonic coral]

Don’t get a zinus mattress unless you like fibreglass lol

[livid yew]

my mattress is from MatressFirm

I have had it for like 4 years

no

3

[sonic coral]

Ikea is prob best for budget mattresses I think

[livid yew]

did u ever figure out where your coffee table is from

I really liked it

[sonic coral]

Oh I’ll ask my roommate later

[livid yew]

ty

[west egret]

Ehh mattress is one of those things where it’s okay to spend more on

You spend 1/3 of your life on it

[sonic coral]

Nah I mean like ikea mattresses are genuinely good

[west egret]

Oh okay. I never bought mattresses from ikea

[sonic coral]

Also like there’s no guarantee you’ll be on the same bed in the future

Maybe you’re on a full now and will upgrade to a Queen / king

But yeah def avoid any amazon mattresses since most have fibreglass in the them lmfaooo

[fossil jewel]

fiberglass???

FR?

[sonic coral]

Yeah the sketchy Chinese ones

I can find a link gimme sec

[tardy geode]

i need help with a linkedlist question

[fossil jewel]

drop it here

[tardy geode]

i dry ran the first iteration but not sure if i did it right

[fallow spire]

it's korean brand 😦

[west egret]

I prob wouldn’t buy a mattress on Amazon. Would rather just get it from mattress firm. IKEA doesn’t seem like a bad idea either if they do same day delivery.

[tardy geode]

i have done the first iteration , see comments are those correct?

[sonic coral]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Mattress/comments/zk4g3h/lets_talk_about_fiberglass/

So basically they use fibreglass as a cheap way to fireproof lmao

[sonic coral]

Idk if ikea does same day delivery but just sleep on some blankets for a few days

[foggy perch]

eh I try not to spend that much

bc I assume I'll move every 1-2 years

[fossil jewel]

lemme try to sketch this out mentally

[tardy geode]

just do the first iteration on a scratchpaper

[sonic coral]

I mean you’ll eventually move your mattress if you get a good one but it’s def a good idea to assume you might upgrade bed in future

[foggy perch]

maybe I currently am in minimalist mode

so I usually don't even buy furniture, just a basic desk table + mattress I don't mind ditching when moving

[sonic coral]

I mean don’t be a degen get a damn bed frame lmao

[teal jackal]

this but unironically

[livid yew]

carpet

[fossil jewel]

well, one thing you're missing is making the connection between dummy head and the head of your given LL

[livid yew]

carpet is so gross

[fossil jewel]

dummy head technique is used when you're changing the head in some way but you wanna maintain the pointer to the new head of the list

[livid yew]

Oreos for sure has carpet

[fossil jewel]

i do

[livid yew]

eww

[fossil jewel]

i vacuum tho

[livid yew]

daily?

[fossil jewel]

bruh the floor is COLD

[fossil jewel]

eh not daily

but often

[tardy geode]

are those values correct? in the comments that i wrote

[livid yew]

idk I have hardwood

[fossil jewel]

for dummy = slow, i dont think thats right

that value should be 1

[rain patio]

VACÓÓME

[fossil jewel]

[tardy geode]

ohhh , lemme do it once again . i think you are right

[dawn sequoia]

RIP CLUB PENGUIN

[grizzled bronze]

At least it's not carpet in the bathroom

[sonic coral]

Bro that can’t be real

No one has full on carpet in the bathroom

Right?

[fossil jewel]

just one by the sink

[fossil jewel]

this is how i traced it @tardy geode

[weary flax]

yeahhhh of course nottttttt /s

[fossil jewel]

track the pointers

[pine topaz]

why is this not an issue?

if i have a palce my livign wroom would have no furniture

me and my friends can pre on the floor before the club

[fossil jewel]

if ur a nomad, thats fine

but if you're making this a semi permanent place

idk

[sonic coral]

What circle of hell did you find this in

[fossil jewel]

@tardy geode This is what I worked out. I'd just use pointers to keep track of the nodes. But yeah you need a dummy node for sure.
||```
class Solution:
def swapPairs(self, head: Optional[ListNode]) -> Optional[ListNode]:
if not head:
return None

    dummy = prev = ListNode(0,head)
    curr = head

    while curr and curr.next:
        front1 = curr.next
        front2 = curr.next.next

        prev.next = front1
        front1.next = curr
        curr.next = front2

        prev = prev.next.next
        curr = curr.next
    
    return dummy.next

[livid yew]

[dawn sequoia]

carpet in the bathroom is goated

[fossil jewel]

yeah i had a similar way of doing this

i did this when i was doing codepath

wish i put more into that class

[west egret]

I was getting stuck for a few minutes because I was advancing my curr twice even though it technically moved up once already during the node switching

[fossil jewel]

would've been big brained at LC

[west egret]

literally erased .next and it works

[tardy geode]

tysm

[fossil jewel]

yeah linked lists questions are always to be drawn out

i cross out the next pointers and redirect

[west egret]

I've still never been asked a linked list question in an interview

I was lied to

[grizzled bronze]

Microsoft likes them

[sonic coral]

So does BB

[pine topaz]

this is photoshopped...

[west egret]

That looks cursed

Must be @pulsar mural ‘s bathroom

[fossil jewel]

my school didnt have any scholarships

[vital leaf]

Hello,

    We're glad you're here!

    Ramp has been fortunate to experience exponential growth over the past
    few years and with it our application volume has surged.

    In this situation, many startups opt to use off-the-shelf timed leetcode
    style SaaS tools to thin application volume.

    We thought puzzles in the spirit of a CTF[1] would be more fun and a
    better expression of our values. As we expect you to spend a little bit
    of time on this gating challenge, we thought it was appropriate that we
    put time and effort into crafting it ourselves.

    We're aware answers here might eventually be leaked and we'll probably
    have to refresh this every couple months or so, but please keep in mind
    it'll be very easy to tell once that happens and will only result in
    slowing down our ability to process applications - so please keep the
    flags to yourself.

    All flags are seven letter dictionary words.

    All flag gates are independent of each other - i.e. you don't need to
    find one flag to unlock the next one.

    Please submit at least two flags, but feel free to submit as many as you
    can find.

    Enjoy!

    - Ramp Engineering <[e-mail]>

GOODBYE MOM!

waiting for the day i get a good 8 hour sleep , i have been surviving on 5 hours a day

there is no possible way you’re alive like this

i have been doing this since the last 7 months

😟

FKK

[teal jackal]

Github layoffs

Ass

[crystal barn]

There are companies still making offers?

[tardy geode]

why tf recruiters don't read resumes properly , i got a call from a recruiter a few days back she had set up HM round for tomorrow . now i got a mail that its cancelled coz i graduate in may and this is an immediate hiring 💀 💀 FML 😭 . I had fucking written it in bold "May 2023"

https://tenor.com/view/kirby-anime-sad-crying-gif-22668676

[snow holly]

anyone interviewed for candid health?

[fickle bridge]

Hey guys I have recently secured an offer thanks to lots of advice I got from this server. I wanted to give back so I wrote an article about everything I learned while job searching this year. I know there aren't many positions right, but I hope this can help some people https://michaelsheinman.medium.com/how-to-land-a-new-grad-job-324130809d2b

[livid yew]

[grizzled bronze]

Was this an internal recruiter?

[sour spindle]

I know it’s shit man. I have been through many such calls and even to the extent that after verbal offering, the company just emailed the next day saying we are moving in another direction.

So best strategy is when the hr calls, just confirm everything including your graduation date and if you need visa sponsorship etc.

[compact vortex]

How long should I wait before I follow up with apple? I had phone interview on Monday then got ghosted

The hiring manager made it sound like I was moving on lol

[grizzled bronze]

Generally I follow up after a week so if it was this Monday then send your follow up email in the next Monday

[compact vortex]

Yep

[grizzled bronze]

Some companies do that just to provide a good interview experience, I always assume I got rejected until I get an actual offer

[compact vortex]

I mean it was a casual phone call with the hiring manager

Idk

It was meant to introduce me to the team. There is no way I got rejected

[teal jackal]

Yeah companies don't have an obligation to actually follow up with the interview

[grizzled bronze]

Oh, I had a hiring manager call in the end for another company and the hiring manager even told me to add him on LinkedIn. Got rejected after the weekend.

[teal jackal]

It sucks

[compact vortex]

First round lol

The only major red flag was that we finished 10 minutes early

My guess is that they wanna get more candidates through a final round and if they need more, then they will call me to next steps

It also seems like the team im interviewing for only wants 1 engineer and there are multiple in the pipeline

Yes ikik

lol

[grizzled bronze]

No point speculating tbh, just follow up on Monday

[compact vortex]

Yea

[grizzled bronze]

It's not a long wait, but whenever you really want to get in, it feels like one

[compact vortex]

Yea no no I can wait. I was just wondering how long should I wait cuz I don’t wanna piss of the recruiter cuz that can also mean rejection

[lone copper]

if it makes you feel any better she called me to let me know the role had been filled....wtf lol
she was like "i didn't want to let you know via email I thought I'd set up a phone call" ty for wasting my time 🥲 then she also said I have to wait 6 months if i want to apply for a role again at stubhub

mega time waste

[compact vortex]

Yea recruiting sucks

Lol

Yea

I’m not stressing

Audible

Return offer

Yea

2 months

That’s why I’ve been applying elsewhere

But tbh I think we will be fine

My start date was august 28th and now it’s oct 30th

I’m home free for like 5 months

[grizzled bronze]

Yeah I get why they do it, but emailed rejections feel better

Scheduled video rejects are the worst, some companies do that

[compact vortex]

That’s why I’m looking for backups

[grizzled bronze]

Nah, they need new grads

🍌

[compact vortex]

Tbh we are cheap labor

They can fire seniors

[compact vortex]

You have amazon too?

[grizzled bronze]

Yeah and the fact that they're limiting SDE 1 to new grads is also reassuring

[lone copper]

yeah lol i booked a meeting room at my uni bc i was on campus all day today so i could have a quiet place to speak haha

idk if they realize we have so many other interviews and stuff to deal with

[compact vortex]

Still doesn’t hurt to have second offers in hand

[compact vortex]

They can go fuck off

I would accept apple at a earlier start date and start there and if apple screws me I go to Amazon else I reneg Amazon

[grizzled bronze]

I would accept Apple and outsource Amazon to ChatGPT

[compact vortex]

Audible requires sde 1 to relocate lol

Apple also requires in person

[teal jackal]

do you prefer apple culture

would amazon actually be likely to rescind

[grizzled bronze]

Bro, I'm jelly. You get a fat stipend free.

Assuming you're a US citizen and don't need to worry about having a job in the near future

[peak ferry]

Weren’t some amazon hires in impacted orgs already rescinded?

huh interesting

[proper cradle]

Anybody know, when new grad roles will be in more abundance?

[grizzled bronze]

Somewhere in 2024, in @pulsar mural we trust!

[lone copper]

2024 :0

[proper cradle]

I can’t wait that long 😂😭

[night marsh]

For anyone who's done Epic Systems, did you need to do a proctored exam beforehand?

[grizzled bronze]

[smoky star]

How is the job market in Feb compared to Jan?

Ah feck

Hopefully Feb would go by fast

[grizzled bronze]

So bad, I'm considering begging @pulsar mural for an Amex referral

[fossil jewel]

big this tbh

[tardy geode]

worse

[tardy geode]

you paid 200$ ?!

[tardy geode]

is it worth it ? i am getting it for 140$ annual

[fossil jewel]

175 a year

[fossil jewel]

that’s up to you

if you have the github student pack

try their 6 months free trial

i’m more of a reader than video person

[tardy geode]

i have but , it doesn't have this one :

https://www.educative.io/courses/grokking-coding-interview-patterns-python

[fossil jewel]

ye i’m trying this now

it’s a bit more clear imo

[tardy geode]

it ain't the part of student pack

[fossil jewel]

if you need the table of contents i can swing it when i’m home

i can try to extract the html for a couple of lessons so that you get a feel for it

[tardy geode]

i could see it when i click on it but chapters are locked

is it the same as the design gurus one?

[fossil jewel]

more or less with more additions

[tardy geode]

coz the design gurus one i found was not of much help

[fossil jewel]

like more questions before the coding to see if you get how the solution should be

i’ll try to send a page when i get home

[tardy geode]

i feel 140$ is a good deal

and you get a lot of things

like golang graphql etc

but then i am a student and broke af

😭

so gotta think twice before spending

[fossil jewel]

ofc

[tardy geode]

i tried finding pdfs of it but they don't exist

[fossil jewel]

that’s why i’ll try to give you a sample

[tardy geode]

ty kind sir

btw @fossil jewel you have the standard one or the premium

burgyception

[fossil jewel]

not the most expensive

[tardy geode]

oh so the standard one

[north elk]

Expedia group vs epic systems: which would be more desirable for new grad?

[teal jackal]

possibly expedia

[north elk]

Why?

[teal jackal]

epic systems culture seems really weird

idk what tech stack expedia uses

but i heard that epic is riddled with legacy tech

[north elk]

What about in terms of career development and salary? I can’t seem to find expedias new grad tc

[teal jackal]

Expedia would be better if tech stack is more modern(idk what stack they use though)

[rain patio]

do you have offers?

[timber rock]

expedia has the cool perk of being able to work from any expedia office around the world for x number of weeks a year

[late kestrel]

expedia seems to be a more modern tech company

[timber rock]

lots of java but they are starting to switch to more kotlin

[late kestrel]

epic is a health tech company that just pays a lil more than usual

their campus is cool if youre ok with going 5x a week lol

[north elk]

I have epic systems offer and expedia final round. Was debating if I should do the final round

[west egret]

I vote for Expedia because they seem more modern. Also you prob get travel benefits.

[north elk]

I think going in person would be beneficial as a new grad

[timber rock]

you get a travel allowance at expedia yea

[rain patio]

doesnt hurt

tc may or may not be about the same after adjusting for COL

and epic's known for having outdated tech and questionable culture like previously mentioned BUT it's team dependent like p much any big company

[north elk]

From interviewing they seem like they have modernized their tech stack in recent years. When I asked they said they use c#, typescript and react

[west egret]

The other thing is that more ppl are likely to know what Expedia is. I feel like Epic isn’t as well known unless you’re in tech or healthcare.

[rain patio]

maybe thats one of the better teams

or yeah maybe they've modernized

i heard back then they used something like basic

[teal jackal]

I'd prefer Expedia out of the two

Try your best for the Expedia final

gl m8

[rich night]

expedia overrated. they can outsource to international talent any day. if you want job security in this economy take epic
