[cold pawn]

oh

[obsidian crater]

[solemn spire]

Nah but the dudes with 1500-2500 problems are doing it for fun

Its like going to gym but for them its LC

[cloud zinc]

stupid question, but does LM ask leetcode questions, or are they still sticking to behaviorial/technical interviews?

[sturdy forge]

behavioral and light technical

havent seen a lc

[autumn iris]

Leetcode is fine, im pretty sure i should be only focusing on string or array questions

I literally have not seen anything hard for DS positions

[cloud zinc]

so no changes to last spring?

sweet

hopefully, I won't end up with the same interviewer who did not want to interview people

[tardy geode]

How tf is merge sorted arrays an easy proble,m

[obsidian crater]

iirc it's just the merge step in merge sort

[cold pawn]

what

it's hard

[whole roost]

goal is to finish neetcode 150 by mid oct then review/do new problems

is it good idea to start doing contests after neetcode?

[lime moth]

How’s it goin everyone? Had my first week of my job at Lockheed last week after having my start date pushed out a long ass time. Haven’t checked in here for a while

[lime moth]

Mine was just a few questions on oop and asking about projects and stuff

[cold pawn]

how is it there? was thinking about applying but the reviews were kinda bad

also what's your tech stack? and do they use old or new tech

[lime moth]

My first week was kinda ass. Lot of training and getting access to stuff, it’s a pain in the ass with all the hoops to jump through just to get an account on one of the 15 websites you need for various stuff. I’m a software engineer but what I’ll be doing the first month is basically systems engineering/devops. But after that stack is supposed to be c++11

[lime moth]

Reviews from here?

[cold pawn]

reddit

[cold pawn]

is the pay good? what was the bg check like

[rain patio]

3 a day not too bad (assuming its easies and mediums)

you miss one day though and ur gonna be in pain

[lime moth]

Pay is fine. Bg check is just drug test and filling out some stuff. The security clearance check is a shit ton of forms but no big deal as long as you don’t have any red flags

[cold pawn]

I heard they contact your friends or people who knew you for like 7 years, is that true? Or that's for top secret clearance only?

[lime moth]

Yea you have to give them some people and they’ll contact like two of them with a simple form, not a big deal

[bleak ocean]

Why do companies ask if you’ve worked there before

[grizzled bronze]

so they can see your past performance and then reject if your manager hated you

or maybe so they can expedite your process if you were a past employee

[cloud zinc]

what's the limit on credit scores/bills sent to collections?

I got a phone bill from AT&T sent to collections because they refused to believe me when I told them that I cancelled my phone

wasn't even mine, I bought a plan for a foreign aunt, and was told that I could cancel anytime

[cold pawn]

if you worked at McDonalds as a burger flipper, do you answer "yes" when applying to SWE position?

[grizzled bronze]

yes, they will give your app priority

[cold pawn]

[lime moth]

I have no clue

[fallen fox]

<$100 for non-medical bills, <500 for medical bills, and any paid medical bills disappear from your report if it was sent to collections

dont ask me how i know

but afaik phone bills generally don't show up on your report

its insane they dont offer student discounts

[rich prairie]

;-;

yea

\

[tardy geode]

does amazon send OA for SDE 1?

or for SDE 1 its straight up 4 rounds ?

[tribal rampart]

They’re not hiring external SDE 1

Student program has been instructed not to hire external SDE 1

Only Intern conversions

They don’t do that anymore cause a lot of interns are waiting

Yes

Used to be the case, but now hiring is strict and ASP has more leverage

[tardy geode]

one of my friends got an OA so idk what position it is

[tribal rampart]

Probably SDE 2

[tardy geode]

oh

i don't wanna go there , since it will always be PIP or BUST

[earnest perch]

pip isn't the worst thing in a normal market tbh. you get 3 months to find another job don't you

[past hound]

💀It is taking a decent number of people more than 3 months to find a new position in this market.

[tardy geode]

i am sick of this reposted shit

is it even worth putting time into reposted apps that have workday

[tardy geode]

most of the times i am able to get the approach but mess up while coding it ou

people with faang on their resume

[marble ivy]

ye

[forest elk]

it's okay guys

there will be jobs

[gleaming trellis]

That must be a typo

[tardy geode]

JAVA gods please help

[cold pawn]

first your rolution doesn't guarantee that the value is always returned
second that's not how you make an array in Java

[tardy geode]

oh i see

[crystal valley]

You have to do "new int[]{1, 2, 3,...}"

[tardy geode]

@crystal valley

[cold pawn]

what did I say

[tardy geode]

it doesn't return

so like i put {l+1,r+1}?

i am a noob at java

i am learning it by solving easy probs

[cold pawn]

define a variable which is an array
then if found assign the correct values and break out of loop
iin the end return thee array

[tardy geode]

@cold pawn

how can i do the last else part better?

[cold pawn]

it's good though
I don't think you can make it look prettier

[tardy geode]

ty

[past hound]

more spacing

i + 1

j + 1

l < r

[cold pawn]

no
MOAR
i + j

[past hound]

I also always align stuff

like

[tardy geode]

gotta survive the next 5 days guys at the sweatshop , hope i survive. pray for me

[past hound]

all the "=" are aligned

[cold pawn]

wait nvm you can make it better

@tardy geode

remove array variable, instead just return new int[]{l + 1, r +1} at the end
and in the else statement just break, nothing else

[tardy geode]

[west egret]

why use java over python for LC though

[tardy geode]

[shrewd ocean]

can i join this sweatshop

[tardy geode]

better grind i would say

and if you are a citizen then work somewhere part time like anywhere

[past hound]

💀 Just return, you don't need the break.

[shrewd ocean]

yeah thats true, gotta pick up the grind

[west egret]

That's a very specific case though. None of my interviewers so far have ever specifically asked me to answer a LC in Java.

It'd be one thing if Java was your main language already.

[candid mauve]

I think Wolverine OA didn’t allow Python

[past hound]

Yea, trading always wants C++.

[tardy geode]

[obsidian crater]

Did anyone even hear back from Color?

Or did they just ghost

[cloud zinc]

Anyone else participating in the virtual interview event with Lockheed Martin?

[rich prairie]

yeah i closed that shit with 0

[brave forge]

what am i supposed to wear for a final? is a button up shirt ok or do u guys go more formal? Last time i wore a suit top when i landed a job lol

[grizzled bronze]

overdressed is always better than under

[shrewd ocean]

i always wear a dress shirt, i think that should be enough

but no harm is overdressing either

[brave forge]

good way to put it

I know the format is different but I think it adds personality

Someone send the link to Jakes resume 💀

[brave forge]

your a CS major u dont have a personality u solve LC and interview

[vapid oasis]

[unreal rampart]

Ha I’m not a CS major

[elder urchin]

https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/jakes-resume/syzfjbzwjncs

[vapid oasis]

Is it a good idea to do a masters

Rn

[unreal rampart]

Probably

[vapid oasis]

Instead of looking for a job

[unreal rampart]

Anything to wait out the market

[vapid oasis]

I’m considering it Ngl

[bold pier]

In 2 years market can get better and bad again, do a 6 months degree at a time

[vapid oasis]

What’s a 6 month degree

[bold pier]

I dunno I just say shit

[bold pier]

My point being there's no guarantee Masters will help, it's preferred to get some experience first if that's possible

[unreal rampart]

At least you’d be able to apply to internships again

[tardy geode]

new week new anxiety

[sturdy forge]

[tardy geode]

I am unable to work on a C2C bases or provide sponsorship at this time. , what does this mean ?

got this from a recruiter of some contracting firm , she says she is looking for someone for a 6 month contract with the largest search engine company

what is C2C basis ? does that mean after 6 months no contract extension or new contract ?

[past hound]

They don't sponsor and yea, it isn't contract to hire, you go contract to contract.

[tardy geode]

but what does C2C basis ?

[past hound]

C2C = contract to contract

[tardy geode]

she said she is unable to work on C2C bases , that means after 6 monts no noew contract or extension ?

[past hound]

ah

my bad

Sounds like they don't renew the contract

[swift falcon]

hi we got you a job but it's in bumfuck nowhere when can you start?

[earnest perch]

c2c is when a third party company holds your visa/provides sponsorship because the company that gives the contract doesn't sponsor visas

she's saying she won't allow that and you'll have to directly work on contract with the employer

[red zenith]

Is Barclays' OA automatic?

[outer geode]

Has anyone here gone through the Roblox OA? I just wrapped it up and it beat my ass (400/600?) and I'm honestly wondering if it's even worth continuing on to the other assessments

[vital meteor]

Always try, there have been rejects here with 600/600 though

[snow scroll]

Y’all I live in a slightly more dystopian era today

Like I'm at work
And I'm doing a optional hackathon
Which will allow big corpo to feed off my ideas for free
Ideas I work on my own time and not company time And if I don't do it, I have less chance for promo/ raise/bonus
And a reward for doing the hackathon, I get access to GitHub copilot in the company, which helps me become a better drone for the company
Where others who don't participate in hackathon don't get copilot

I don’t wanna be racist but I just don’t understand why Indian interviewers turn an interview into an interrogation as if they’re sketchy about everything. This has happened so many times now

For once I thought and was positive that my entire life would turn around if this came through and all rounds went well too. It’s been 9 months now and every now and then I think of just shifting to my new work place and start with enthusiasm but ffs it just never comes man.

@brave forge how was it

[brave forge]

idk kinda bad

might never get to be SWE 😭

ya some

idk how to get SWE job

interviews are hard

they asked me to read a product diagram

it had all these pathway lines

and then i didnt realize the little words on the arrows were pointing which way to go

so i just went the wrong way over and over and kept screwing it up until they helped me

it's a bank ofc they will

i tried to read

[granite pier]

is optiver oa auto? :c

[brave forge]

but the little words are like everywhere

and going multiple ways

im like fuk which way does this go

just stuff they asked me

explain how this would work

ya like basically, if u were given an input how would it work

abstract higher level stuff ya

kinda ya

like all the different services

i wish they explained it to me a little

no they didnt ask me to design

just read it

i failed that part

then the next part

i had to do a python question

i also inched through that making mistakes at every turn until i got it right by iterative improvement

they didnt even ask any java

i mighta screwed up on my prep

coulda just done python LC and been good

[pine topaz]

So sys design

[brave forge]

oh ya it's a reject

[rich prairie]

howd u do, i fucked it bad

[brave forge]

IDK man i needed practice , im literally like a 2nd year just coming out of my 2nd intern trying to land NG it's bad

[candid mauve]

Any resource that goes in depth on this?

[brave forge]

well maybe they hire stupid easy because nobody wants to work there

[candid mauve]

damn so the whole thing was a setup to fail

[brave forge]

that is me 😭 i wouldn't be a mid dev if i had 4 years of education and not just 1.5 years of online but idk how to fix any of it kinda looks hopeless just get a low-tier tech job and work my way up. Only way i see out is a masters degree, more internship, more learning, then land cracked job

but ive been a SWE before

ive worked on complex stuff

i just need more prep time it's been like 4 weeks since i quit my intern.

im happy with associate swe even like 33/hr is great

idk maybe if i keep prepping the next 4 months and apply to every job on linkedin ill get somewhere , iteratively improve till im good

[candid mauve]

Don't worry about it. It's just one inteview that threw a curve ball. People say that the current market makes finding jobs harder but I think the market is straight up locking up doors where you had no chance from the moment the app opened. Focus on the doors still left open. That's where you will find purpose.

[brave forge]

ya i think like numbers + dedication + grind and at some point i get lucky somewhere and someone hires me

ya i dont like the external stuff. People said markets bad but i got an interview with like 2 weeks of semi-active applying

it's internal i just have to become good

We want inflation to be low, so that people have certainty about how far their paycheck and their savings will go in the future.

I thought inflation was high rn tho

[obsidian crater]

[storm locust]

Food is largely a supply chain and climate issue, housing is purely because of supply, and gas is also supply chain and geopolitics

[rain patio]

Petition to call it greedflation. Companies raising prices more than wages go up is the cause of inflstion smh. If inflation was around 9% because of covid, why is everything 50%-100% more expensive!? Smh greedy corporations and their record breaking profits

[rich prairie]

lmfao gas prices are mega insane in Socal

almost 6$ depending on location

!
^^^^^^^^

[rich prairie]

dont forget the quintupling of the money supply

You know what would help the economy? Stop bailing out companies using our tax dollars. If a company is going bankrupt, it's their fault. Let the free market self regulate. Down with all these poorly managed companies and monopolies

[rich prairie]

[rain patio]

We need to target insurance companies with more strict legislation too. They're all basically monopolies in their areas, and they jack up prices so much. Insulin costs a few cents per gallon to produce, so why are they charging hundreds for a tiny amount

[rich prairie]

no politician from any current party will ever do anything abt that shit

they all get paid

[storm locust]

Fun fact - IRA lets Medicare negotiate drug prices and caps insulin at $35/mo

[rain patio]

Chips, as in potato chips?

[storm locust]

Semiconductors lmfao

[rich prairie]

dude shit is gonna hit the fan if we war with china
all that manufacturing is going to get locked
apple and all tech will cry and try to relocate business
all chip manu will got to DOD

i hope u make it

u dont make it = none of us will

[storm locust]

Speaking of diversification, this is a boiling hot take

||There aren't enough tech cities. Having such a major field's jobs so concentrated in so few cities is unsustainable for both those cities and the field.||

Honestly, relocating chip manufacturing to the USA would create so many jobs in the USA, and we wouldn't have to rely on Taiwan as much if things went south over there.

[storm locust]

[bold thorn]

TSMC is opening us facilities no?

[storm locust]

Also yes that's the goal of CHIPS and Science

i dont have projects or a lot of experience to point to, everyone seems to expect entry lev ppl to have a ton of high level hands on experience that they can speak to whereas it used to just be "basic understanding + willingness to learn" was enough

🤷‍♂️

You said you have 2 internships? Can you talk about that?
