And these leetcode problems aren't reflective of how you do on the job

Maybe not from a career standpoint, but in other areas of their life. They could live the rest of their lives in fear that they could get caught.

If you know they cheated, surely they didn't keep it to themselves. Word could spread to someone influential.

After a year of graduating, I considered today doing masters

#

But then changed my mind

#

I'm just gonna be a new grad again

#

And your username sir @oblique harbor

#

Made me 100% sure of not even considering getting a masters

oblique harbor
fathom dagger
#

Oh fuck

#

NVM then

#

Dammit

#

I guess I'll get a master's then

oblique harbor
#

I got my job through connections my professor had in the industry. He recommended me to his friend hiring at a startup. So it all worked out.

fathom dagger
#

Good for you

#

Did you get your masters right after your bachelor's

#

What made you get a masters

oblique harbor
# fathom dagger What made you get a masters

A lot of people in my family had one - my older cousins, father, etc. Growing up my grandparents and relatives always said "After you graduate with your MS, find a job." They never mentioned finding a job after getting a bachelor's. So I grew up thinking that getting a masters is the right thing to do. finding a program I liked made me more sure of getting my masters

fathom dagger
#

Good for you broski

#

Are you indian by any chance

#

Idk if this is borderline racist

But I see a lot of Indians getting a masters

But that is really interesting

#

It's in the engineering department and kinda sorta similar to CS. Just Google what Computational Media is

It is more complicated than academic vs non-academic. I mentioned a project that technically was part of a class, but it was a special section for a swe class where we developed a project for real clients. We had weekly meetings and shit with our clients.

Immutability in the context of computer science usually means when you can't change a data structure without making a completely new copy of said data structure with the change.

The original copy is unchanged

Oh I like take-homes, but the company needs to be considerate of time. I’ve had 2 good experiences w take-homes and 1 bad experience. The latter one was expecting way too much from an entry-level candidate and for only 65k. The other two paid way more and the take-homes were very reasonable.

Looking back there are so many good opportunities that I missed. Makes it feel pretty hopeless with this current market tbh

#

Like wtf was I thinking not applying more

slender axle
# solemn spire You are ft now?

Yes. Since I had the offer already I barely tried to apply to other companies. It was remote at the time and average pay, but now I have to relocate to Utah for RTO in February and they are reducing my pay to the adjusted salary in Utah. Literally the only company I applied to was Bloomberg and I got a verbal offer that was pulled before I could sign it. Now I'm looking back realizing that there were so many dream job recruiters in my inbox that I didn't even see

#

And it's pretty depressing because I know it's my fault that I didn't apply more. I shouldn't have been complacent and accepted what I was given. But also I couldn't have predicted RTO.

#

Now I have to face the fact that I might be spending my early 20's in Utah. And it's kind of my fault for not making the most of the opportunities I had. It's like I worked so hard to have a good GPA and resume for nothing. Sorry for ranting just needed to let that out

The interest rates were low and companies were flush with free cash. So they overhired. That's why big tech layoffs happened

# ornate cliff interest rate is kinda reactive no?

Not necessarily. If the interest rate is cheap then companies can borrow for pennies on the dollar. So they can hire employees very cheaply. And by the time they need to pay back the money, the engineer already made an app generating more profit. When the interest rates rise they have to hire employees with their limited leftover cash in the budget. Which means they will hire less

Ok, that interview was brutal. I was given a list of topics to study but they asked me a leetcode question that was completely different (and not on the list of topics I was given to study). If they told me to study Depth First Search/Breadth First Search ahead of time, I would have done well. But alas, they told me to study all about hashmaps and the leetcode question had absolutely nothing to do with hashmaps. So I was unprepared. 😦

vague dune
# golden agate what was it

medium leetcode question involving islands is all I'll say. Google it, you'll find it. I had to solve the question on the leetcode website itself in the interview

golden agate

number of islands?

#

love that one

No max island

I hate when people tell you to study X but then the interview/test has Y.

golden agate
#

ah. I think I got them all for Vanguard oa but never got interview 😦

#

hope you make it!

vague dune
# golden agate hope you make it!

I didn't make it. I was unprepared and I did poorly. They said to study hashmaps for the interview and I was basically a hashmap expert. But lo and behold, the interview question was totally different involving depth and breadth first searching so I couldn't do it.

I wish they said "study DFS/BFS", or at the very least "study Data Structures and Algorithms" so I could study everything. But they didn't.

Thanks. I'll just end by saying, I hate leetcode. Never had to do anything like leetcode in any of my internships. None of my internships had me do leetcode in the interviews. I hope I get more interviews - especially ones at company that don't ask leetcode. Leetcode is the bane of my existence.
