You got a Palantir OA before Karat?
What š
A quant trades algorithmically
You arenāt actually trading at most these firms man
Youāre working to either develop algorithms or actually code the algorithms or both
you prob wanna still be able to realize things quickly is what i meant
and be able to react fast
im gonna grind some osu
before i di this test
i got a tagged question in mine lol so check those out
runtime questions and then 45 min for coding
did you get one?
amazon oa is very rng
some ppl have gotten lc hard and some ppl have gotten 2 lc easy
Im grad 2025
I didnt get confirmation email after submitting Goldman, is this normal ?
Nope
Thank you, but where I can see it? Sorry if this is a dumb question lol
Where is the link for Goldman? I cannot find it anywhwre
go to the leetcode bot channel on this server and do !problems palantir technologies
Summer analyst
Thank you
Oh thank you
They ask very CS-y questions. My friend got some kind of stack-based virtual machine implementation
I think so? I asked her a while ago so donāt really remember
karat tagged question?
and here I am with my 6 month cooldown š„ø
im still trying to study for this oa
cant apply till october
damn good luck
Not always the case. I had failed the interview for summer 2021 in March and I applied for summer 22 in July. Heard in 1st week of September
The cooldown isn't really 6 months tbh. A couple ppl I know also heard back soon enough even though they were supposed to be on cooldown
fax same here
yesterday

palantir
Bruh why so many JS rejections
You mean until your summer internship is done?
I think that and heās waiting to get matched for g
No I've already got all my points for that
what mr juster said 

They're very selective, everyone wants that fat intern pay so it's ultra competitive
Wow
does JS ghost
I donāt think so
Considering everyone is getting rejections
Havenāt heard back yet LMAO
They might take awhile
Ik some guy that got rejected after a week which is pretty slow for js standards
if goog + banana isn't enough for JS I don't know what is 
Like you can leverage another recent offer to get back in process i think
Whatās banana
amazon
š
Why called banana
š¤¤
The rejections come out in batches, yours will come real soon




Thanos the goat
Incoming freshman?
Soph
Bruh fr
Think took two years off after fresh
Hes cracked physically and academically
For mandatory
Respect to that guy
big JS reject wave but i didnt get one š
applied like 18 hours ago
lets pray bois
dw, I'm sending a personal one for you
do send one for me too
JS loves goog, fb and dropbox
THATS SO TRUE
Your rejection is in the queue, good luck! 
two js interns at my school, both there fbu then fb swe intern then js
If someone applied to js a few days ago and hasnāt been rejected yet, does that mean they might get an interview?
No, it means your rejection is in the queue
there's always a chance, but it's low unless you've got faang/big n
ok! just asking for my friend whoās at Amazon rn š
š
I heard a rumor that if you donāt get rejected from js within 24 hours then you have a shot for the interview but I wasnāt sure how true that was
true lol
for fall 2022 I got rejected after 2 days not one
I see
rumor debunked
anyone here work on twitch extensions before
they should be fine, a pretty significant number of my friends at amazon got an interview
man im out here trying to make the jump from sap to amazon mr wagons is making the jump from faang to quant 
Gotta put my best foot forward 
wagwan habibi
They can ask anything from OS to lc med/hard to sys design to grilling you on your resume
PETE whatās your gpa
no amazon OA yet
so i'm fucked

3.7
Goddammit Pete
out of 4.33 or 4.0
im p sure amazon sends oa in waves
4.3 with A+
Looks like imma have to email Cit recruiters with akuna and goog offers so I donāt get gpa gapped 
go for it either way š¤£
getting heavy rn but they flying us out to toronto next week
hopefully no spirit airlines
Vancouver mans sadly
u know who else is in toronto? the goat NAV
i got a NAV ass haircut yesterday
yoooo
We went to UBC yesterday mr goat man
im going to sap offices soon
Im down
how did you do on the OA?
Come to the Amazon office later today
my campus brotha. preciate the love
Iām going in after palantir karat
anyone can go in?
Yeah as long as youāre with me
I can bring 3 guests in at a time
at sap u just have to get a visitor pass
I donāt work on Alexa so itās not secretive
Anyways Iāll be at the office at like 3pm today if yāall wanna come
Wait no
Me and Dr aight can pull up and hit a lick on their banana stash

Like 4pm
WAGONOV
im probs gonna stay at home today
MR MOD WAGONOVP
@hearty river

Itās hybrid but I go in everyday bc of my friends
LeYahkuna

I didnāt go today bc palantir karat
Iāll let you know in 4 hours
Skill issue
I got a segment tree q when I did it
Totally not funsies!
Just apply my dude
Itās not that deep
Do u think if one fails one akuna position it doesnāt mean theyāre blacklisted from others at the company they apply to right?
@quaint bolt do uk about this too? ^
i have confidence issues
I am not built different
I am constructed alternatively
even the interviewer told me to be confident w my answers š
Hello Kirb
Yo baller
it was a mock interview but yeah
nah it was meta mock
naw i didnt say meta
When is ur tesla phone
i didnt even specify
Fake it, some will fail you if you don't seem confident
u saw meta in kirb profile prolly
Oh maybe
really?
Iām seeing things
fuck fuck fuck
fake it til you make it
The meta summer technical series thing?
Yeah, not all though just depends. Some will understand.
the first one i got in like 10 mins
I joined the series by accident š
Yo sayyant
i instatly knew it was a hashmap problem on teh first one
its good practice
imma do it again in august
Same yea lol
Whatās up lol
Wsg
i did get the chance to connect tho
Wsg?
Kylie Jenner?
Youāre blacklisted from the company I think
lack of chapstick
Wait really
Oh idk about internships
Bruh i have python final and akuna trader, if i fail trader before i have python final does that mean im disqualified
Yeah i mean for internship
Also Iām not the best person to ask since I passed 
is this a question i can ask my recruiter

Word it differently
When can I reapply etc
Iām not confident ill pass
I donāt think thereās a blacklist for internship since my friend is doing it again
Oh nice
Iām hoping that even if itās fail horrendously
It only applies to that position
alright i just finished the amazon oa cause i didnt wanna wait lol
Like if you do bad on trader you donāt get disqualified for CPP
the correct choice
Like that does not make snes
Akuna doesnāt really hire a lot from loo so we donāt have anything set up with them
Itās just JS, HRT and Cit/CitSec
Ill probably ask my recruiter then
"just"
Donāt wanna jeapordize python final
Thx wagon man
Iād do whichever one youāre most comfortable with
Just to be safe
Yeah def doing python
They ask OOP qs for Python iirc
Yep
I did the phone alr, they asked that yea
literally the first question they asked me in the phone was
"what's the difference between encapsulation and abstraction"
I straight up told the dude I never really used decorators and BS'd something about using 'with' for closing files and still passed
1st of August
Yeah gl
good luck fellow noodle
maybe
thank you fellow noodle
Yeah i hope not, couldnāt get a sooner date bc internship presentations
I put 2nd august but they chose 9th rip
Ill probably ask my recruiter that too just to make sure
I don't even know what questions they give for Amazon OA anymore
it feels like the problem ranges from introductory coding problems to ICPC questions

15k interns for Amazon
Amazon hires a LOT of interns
where u gettin those numbers from
From Amazon lol
Thereās tons of articles online
Amazon probably hires the biggest intern cohort
why tf they need so many interns
not that i'm complaining
bet bet that brings up my chances a little
I donāt think you realize how huge amazon is 
Yeah if you havenāt gotten anything yet dw they can be really slow or really fast

They send out their interviews in waves
can Google hire 15k interns too
No
Same
google just stopped hiring for 2 weeks

I told them not to
Iām gonna try to run through neetcode before I do Amazon oa
man
Theyāre only hiring one intern next year and thatās me.
neetcode has some fucky problems
i love neetcode

im using his list for blind75 rn
ill give head to their ceo for a spot
and im straight š
down bad for an internship
š¤·āāļø
I asked a company to delay an interview a few weeks because I have exams
most intervals need sorting right?
so i've found
?
*so it would seem
^^^
give me sap pay
but just gimme the name amazon
I JUST WANT A FAANG ON MY RESUME
THATS ALL I ASK


i even give a fuck about money
just for name
i just want a good internship -> hired fulltime so I don't have to worry about applying and interviewing for like 3 or 4 years
u prob will leave after 2 years tbh
How much will you remember 2months from now
^^^^^^^^^^^^
this
Gret HFT
that's how it seems recently huh
imma be job hopping often
i just want good internships so i have good momentum for my first new grad offer
i wanna move to eu in a few yrs
i feel like its like exponential growth
besides the LC hard, most
u get one good job then u get everything
guys!
I need your wise advice
After dozens of applications I got an invitation to an interview with Palantir
The first stage is something called 'Karat'
Could someone tell me wtf is that?
But
Are the questions they ask provided by Palantir?
The company that hires karat has some influence on the type and level yes
But karat def has certain ātypesā
Tagged will help
Mmmmmm
man
As in karat tagged
No, not really
Yep iāve done a few karat and never liked it but tbh only once i got asked a hard
Neither
I did Palantirās karat last year and Karat tagged on LC didnāt help at all š¤·š»āāļø
Lol
i dont leetcode to grind as many questions as possible more of to learn the patterns involved with types of questions
hahahahaha
Itās hit or miss. I did a couple karats
Yea might be
hit or miss mmmmm
Kinda rng anyway
should I take my interview then as soon as possible?
Sharing specific q against server rules here
Yes just take it if u have normal lc prep
send dms or someth
Just get gud 
what is normal lc prep
Agree b75
and that stuff
blind75 has free rent in my head
Pls remove this just heads up server rules
or grind 75
lol
No sharing Qās
Oops sry
seems like a hard one
or neetcode 150
No prob
dp?
Random
U can share types and level of q
Neither
Yes they ask dp
fck
im gonna try to learn those
u never know what ur gonna get
if you do get dp
and you get as far as recursion + memo but can't get the 2d/1d version
it's probably all right
right
tabulation >>
I just remember xor for single number that's not duplicate and n & n-1 for how many bits

does palantir move you to final if you ace karat interview?
https://leetcode.com/problems/angle-between-hands-of-a-clock/ amazon gave this quesiton last year
or how does it workĀæ
oh fuck no baby
i sucked dick in geometry class
my friend solved this to get in
but yeah this is def a geometry based question
ngl i kinda forgot a bit abt it
perhaps law of sines or cosines

probably
And subtract and do out of 360
i'll try to do it later
hopefully this isnt against server rules
you might be right
esp since it was from last yr
i wonder if software engineers ever think im not feelin it today imma give 2 lc hards to this interviewee
they 100 percent do

imma become that type of software engineer some day
Algorithms:
Merge Sort
Breadth-first search
Depth-first search
Binary Search
Data Structures:
Arrays/Lists
Hash Tables
Trees
Graphs
Stacks/Queues
Heaps
Concepts:
Big O complexity analysis
Recursion
Palantir recruiter said those were the topics asked in the karat interview
get grinding
if its not on the list they will still ask it 
thats my perspective
im studying dp rn for mine just in case but tbf if i get given a really hard dp problem that i dont know how to brute force then im done for 
never mind I just got it right
didn't even need geometry
just needed to know 360 in a circle

I will cry if I get asked binary search
𤨠tears of joy? 
fuck no baby
binary search is the bane of my existence
i've done it like 20 times and I still have to draw everything out just to get it maybe right
looool thats what i was thinking about just now

drawing it out is a good way to communicate w the interviewer too
gonna get asked koko bananas except worded completely different and have zero idea that it's binary search

i have the oa im just curious what happens after i do the oa
like do they ghost or do they say that u werent selected
i think they'll send you a rejection if you don't get in
has anyone actually gotten emailed back after submitting the interest forms/app links from greylock? recruiters from the instabase/nuro booths said they would be reaching out in a day, but idk
nah i got interviews for the others after i got rj from one of them
Bet, ty
have to learn merge sort š
thats 4 month of course work at my school
4 months tf
thats a 2 semester of school for my school
what kinda school u go to bro
lucky bro i have to study this all myself my school dont care 
thats like 2 months max
after 2 months its weird shit
gaddamn
like rb trees
FUCK RB TREES
we had to implement it
wtf
RB trees
Almost as bad as AVL trees
harder
which we had to implement
implementing avl in C has gotta be one of the worst ideas ever
JESUS
luckily my cs prof didnt req that
one of my professor told us that any lecturer who made their students implement self-balancing trees was destined for hell
im glad we had to use cpp
me having only ever needed to rebuild a bst based on a pre order and in order traversal


that shit is easy once you know how to do it

bruh
what school do u go to
fr lol thats as hard as it ever got 
uk non target
what schools do yall go to anyways?
not bad, not bad
uk as in united kingdom or you know
these people defo dont go to my school

just resume grilling and the classic 2 heaps lc hard
our CS curriculum has a lot of upper divs you can choose but everyone has to take the Data Structures and design of algorithms one
united kingdom
Wagwan fam
and after taking those Leetcode became so much clearer
The mandem are all here
yeah i doubt any of yall go to my school
united kingdom
such a mid tier school
Some school where napoleon lost or something
if the acceptance rate is lower than the graduation rate then it's better than a mid-tier school

we have half that
ucf icpc team pretty pog
i think we have one of the biggest campuses in the nation
im not smart enough to be on it 
besides ASU I think you have the most
ye
If youāve got a club Iād still go there tbh
honestly i wish they didnt admit as many ppl
the club im currently in just holds events and hackathons
im workin on the backend of their system
unfortunately my group leader decided to do it all in golang š
hot take: golang is almost as bad as C
listening to u guys makes me think i have it easy

more time for lc 
one of the prof at our cs dept is trying to make python the learning lang but the dept vetoed it š
Python is our lang for the first 3 courses,
then it's C++ for most of the upper divs
i just reached upper div courses at mine
it varies on the topic for us
like for our full stack dev course we gotta learn mern and lamp stack
i had a full stack dev course and my team was the only team which presented a working project, everybody else just showed code screenshots of their project because it wouldn't run š

LMAOO
that's what we did for our "self-driving car" final project back in high school

im takin that course next semester but i alr taught a bit of full stack to myself
we had a guy behind the curtain controlling the car
we were gonna do the AI and stuff but after finishing applying for college we just couldn't be bothered to do shit
we also gotta do senior design at my school
unfortunately they make it equivalent to a full time job š

Wtaf
We have a capstone thing where you work on an industry project with the schoolās partners
But it is not full time
Awesome stuff sometimes, all depends on who the contractor is that year
Few years ago they did a phone app that can control Raytheon satellite
a lot of our projects arent even sponsored
But theyāve also done stupid shit like integrating Amazon primeās deal detection into a chrome extension for Amazon
Which ig isnāt stupid
But itās definitely not a phone controlling a satellite
honestly im goin for a c in that class
hopefully ill be working to get an offer for full time job
What kinda of stuff do they do in that?
Like what are some recent projects?

trial by fire
tbf my first language was C/C++ too

actually no that's a lie my first language was Scratch
i think my first was java
me when no c++ till like my third year of CS š„²
lmao
my school started us with C
we had to work our way up to java
and java was only for intro to swe courses
its gonna go back to cpp again

im hoping i can convince my embedded systems prof to use rust
that would be so op
SFU?
is amazon asking behavioral in the oa itself ?
Just took the amazon OA, was the workstye questions different than the past?
Felt like just standard personality test thing
it's different from what everyone told me it was gonna be
yeah thats what i thought
i mean im not complaining cause it was pretty easy to pick the best answer in my opinion
sigh so Iām not special either
f
it's auto, nuro follows up with everyone
idts, the booth one doesn't have much to indicate personal?
hm true ig
yeah ig greylock acts like a soft resume screen
are u sure
swe or trader?
Trader
whatās the difference
wat
If anyone is currently interviewing for Google right now and itās been waiting a long time for results, be ready to wait longer. I emailed my recruiter after waiting for weeks and they said that I should expect delays in the hiring process
@hallow scroll knows that too well 
Iāve been waiting for like
5 weeks
What are your recruiter initials if you donāt mind sharing
MZ
I see
And what are your daddy's initials if you don't mind sharing
i been waiting 30 weeks

swe codes, trader trades
swe or trader?
swe
phones
then final
my friends got qs like design a game
js swe resume bar is insanely high but js trader resume bar is on the ground
why is the trader bar so low? 
resume bar for phone is what i mean
reason: u can tell if some college kid is a good swe by their past exp but u cant tell if some college kid is a good trader
oh ye i guess that makes sense
so they interview a lot of ppl for trader
whats the process like for trader?
3 phones then onsite
onsite is you have some currency
and you bet on various games/whatever and shit
across rounds
ur balance carries over
who wanna play some chess
rapid blitz
super fast

hella good
ye i swear bro
i just used intuition
Nah man that's not bad at all
Java >> any
bett
never
java bad
I wonder how they corporate housing look

Thatās why kawhi the goat
code in the lang ur most comfortable in
fortran > any
Python just sounds lame tbh. Like I refuse to use it lmao
stop
STOOOOOP
MATUDSKI
i wouldnāt say itās lame but i really donāt like the syntax lol
i also suck at english
Iām using golang for my internship and it basically has Java style syntax but its not that extra
If that makes sense
itās not even my native language
GO is goated
Fr. Iām loving it a lot ngl
im tryna learn golang
Elaborate
any resource recommendations
Honestly just YouTube lol. Understand structs and u good lol
Iām kinda faking it till I make it lol
Facebook uses it right for backend?
big up php, best language for leetcode
highkey I don't even know how to write PHP I just look at the codebase and copypaste shit
maybe a new variable here and there
dw i pretty much did the same thing
if they told me to write a page from scratch I would cry
with my website
iām gonna have to use php in one of my classes anyways
Thatās me with go rn lmao. Iām seeing how other files look and just following that lol
1
i'm 80% expecting that's how it's gonna go at actual work too
adding a new feature is just copying that feature from another page and tweaking it to fit
Accurate asf!
real
:prayge:

fr but now we have ecosystem fragmentation
im thinking of using js over python for LC since my js is 10x better than my pythonš
??????

me neither
i always hated python
python is the best tool for interviews
still hate it
ok

šÆ
good luck typing shit out w java
but nothless ill use it cuz it's better
hating or loving langauges is stupid
nah
gotta hate hating languages 
hating languages is my whole personality trait
python is good for some things
rust is good for some other things
cpp is good for many things
even ruby is good for some things
i like ruby lowkey
c++ bias alert

but doesnāt a trader trade using code
jkjk lol
we're like the complier for them
anybody out here using php, or swift for leetcode like ngl if you are doing that then mad respect 
or ruby for that matter
but all languages are useful
except maybe brainfuck
but that's useful in making ppl wanna die
so i guess it might have a use?
i really wanna learn ocamel

functional programming seems sick
depends
ngl i have tried functional programming and ngl it aint it chief
hella confusin
ye
stop
map reduce and passing around functions is kinda cool
it became evident when i tried 
but that's the extent of my functional programming
they have this functional programming club at my uni, i went to the first meetup and it was just about using ocaml in proofs. i never returned 
bro have u seen haskell
stop
mans tramatized
bros calling u a retard š¤£
Palantir so ez 
no no
i meant like
have the recursive mindset for it
Karat so ez
