@crisp berry they dont look that deep into it
ik a lot of people personally that changed their grad date it doesnt really matter
just be ready to explain if they ask
It’s possible
idt its common
I also personally didn’t do it and was fine lol
bro dont think too hard abt it
i am almost in university 
When you’re in 4th-year
yea it doesnt really matter but if u do be prepared to explain it
I’ll refer you
i will cut u a deal
Hmm I might be at google still then tho
how about 2nd year
if its genuine youll def have a reasonable explanation
then put 2024
i could graduate 2023 but im keepin it 2024
refer at google 1st year 
I will def still be at google then
i say i grad hs in 2023 when its 2024 for senior internships
im keepin my graduation to 2024 cuz im hella behind on internships
works like a charm
bros gonna eat me
just say 2023 for upper classmen shit
and then change to 2024 when u dont grad
Why would you say 2023
im looking for internships next summer
They wanna see 2024 anyways for internships next year lol
they want u to return to school
id be graduated alr then
Yes exactly
yea
i blanked
i am sweating
its hot
cant believe this is my third yr in college alr
🧢, you will be at hrt/js
I’ll jump as a senior 
And they sponsor u
And then stay there
They sponsor, but H1-B 
Bro, your luck is goated
H1b is like water for u
Yes that means it’s running out
No, u are snowballing it
Also if I end up getting a team I really like at google, I’d be inclined to stay
Lc contest in 9h
does amazon do backtracking often?
I don’t really wanna jump at least until senior
True, but you chase the bag

That’s why I’m waiting until I can jump as a senior
Senior at HFT’s like 750k+
Have you heard of opportunities cost
Look mr bog I’m only in Canada bc I want a PR anyways 
Why Canada?
I’m not spending insane amounts of international tuition to only just go to the US before getting one 
It’s easier
And almost guaranteed for my career path
Actually basically guaranteed
Just need to work for X amount of years
move to eu
eu is great
900k
I know but the pay is pennies
Can’t tempt me mr bog
still more livable compared to us
bog matud
Wagon hft
WFT
I’ve told my akuna recruiter I’m only taking the offer if they change their name to Wakuna Capital
all the tech companies are gonna be dead in a year
computers wont exist anymore
return to monke
You right
does anyone know how long the hft firms like js, optiver, cit will be open?
Me when they say “so you completely failed all of our tests, why should we consider you” and I answer with “watch this”
They’re all open 
Do you know when they usually close?
they won't close till 2023
i think optiver closes first then js then cit? typically...
That wasnt the question
Also why are you a mod
You and judah have been ruined now
eyo just apped to Amazon on the weekends, do I hafta wait till Monday to get OA?
ah, alright
Oh mb didn’t read it properly
JUDAH
They close super late, like right before summer 23 starts
Please join me next summer
You should still apply early tho if you can
guys does amazon qualtrics survey mean anything
i've been working 12-1 with a 1 hour lunch
12pm-1am 
12am - 1am next day
prolly not
rip
Juda’s going to be with me at gooble 
NO
the qualtrics survey got me excited
JUDAHS JOINING ME IN NYC
bc i got it 2 days after applying
gooble nyc is actually best campus
Hedge fund better tho
How big is google nyc office
Where are you next summer 
How’s the weather in seattle rn juda
It’s so pog in Vancouver
Unless I somehow do better which I wont
can i have your offer 
I can refer you
pog
But what if I dont
when does 2s open
then i will ask to be traded to the sixers

yea same here
someone asked me for referral but application doesn't open until a month after my internship ends
bc ppl will dm him
ty
But ive said im at js a few times on here
And gotten random dms lol
Cuz i dont want to say the actual one
people have dmed me whenever i put fake js offers in process
Join me 
lol someone actually dmed me about rentech when i put rentech offer
Same
We will go to JS/HRT later 
\
yahkuna > matuda
@starlust @hearty river
does amazon have nyc office?
@cold path hey bro, I am looking for intern positions at Rentech, can you please share how you applied for it? Thanks.
no
Youll get resume rejected for that weak shit
actually i take that back. ik someone from my school that interned at meta and chose msft ft
hi
No
does someone if amazon asks hard questions in interviews
You do you
?
all rng
Usually just lc med
it is not for intern
amazon can ask hards but it's usually medium
amazon final is just one lc medium right?
but for sde1 instead
But it’s rng so you might get hit with hards
Same thing applies
most likely mediums
nice!
just get 1x30 
They’re L bozos
leetcode is full of hard ones in the amazon tagged questions
Xbox org would be 
i've heard blind75 is more useful than amazon tagged
Gaming industry minus the misogyny of Riot
juda are you on track for ge
can I grind blind 75 in just 7 days?
yes
I did it in 3 days so yes
damn it lacks the best part??
😔
pee and pee
was it worth? @quaint bolt
what teh fuck
sorry i don't speak canadian. can you please translate that for me to american
also it depends on how much time you want to take before looking at the solution
That was my prep for goog and Amazon and was able to get both so yes 
each day
usually i spend a solid 15 minutes and if i can't get anywhere, i look at solution then implement myself
prob a stupid question but
when u say b75 do u refer to the leetcode discussion
No stupid questions 
Grind75 is better imo
Blind 75 list on the website blind
Kirb 390 >>>
ohhhh
dabi 420 >>>>
go to dabifriends.ca
is this the list?
That .ca edit 
yea
why is it better
Always gotta rep
but
he has 150
doesnt he?
neetcode.io has a tab for just blind75
like, i dont know if I will be able to grind 150 questions in 7 days
damn git gud
hahahaha
Yeah do B75
okayokay
skill gap passive
Skip dp, and bit manip
no worries haha
should I? i was told by some amazon interns that dp questions were asked often
Amazon in the NA region?
the reason g75 is actually worse than b75 is that neetcode hasnt made videos for all g75 problems. sinple.
i would still do dp but it's lower priority than stuff like graphs, linked list, etc
Maybe india but def no US or Canada
that's where i am located
Oh idk about EMEA
does amazon cover dp and bit manipulation?
thought the process would be similar
I’m pretty sure engineers are told to not ask dp
hmm
im still concerned as shit so ill briefly look over it
pls ask him xd
i'll also ask wagon's mentor on monday
Who’s my mentor
I’ll ask your manager
professor pe
DABI look at me on phonetool
why
Look at how big my “team” is now LOL
professor physical education
what is phonetool
Not sure?
ok im doing it
Internal tool to find people, see what team they’re on, who their teammates are etc
LOL
can i see
My manager’s going to another org so their manager took over
He’s gonna be the interim manager for a bit
You know one of them, but you weren’t around to meet the other right?
She’s an artist 
POG
Kinda famous on IG too 
oh wait is this why one was the onboarding buddy of the other one
Yes LOL

amazon interns 
dont be weird
The one you know is the other one’s onboarding buddy
guys i hope to be an amazonian soon
are you mr wagon?

I want to work at cb bois
how can I

I really believe in crypto
I put all my savings in crypto
wait is meta winter 2023 open
Meta off-season is only for specific schools according to my friends there
is that still the case?
Thats a wrong strategy. Diversify your investments
That’s what Dracos told me a couple weeks ago
i was hoping they would relax on that requirement next year
bc 2 years ago, anyone could do off-season
yea rip
need to be at co-op school
like mr vexor with amz
u can still do off season at meta regardless if ur front end engineer intern
I think winter’s not open to all coop schools tho? Or is it?
Bc uoft can only do fall apart from summer
no i actually want amazon lol
🤷♂️ idk the specifics
amazon winter + google summer 
Yeah just try your luck
meta would be nice but i feel like it's going to be hard to get next year
Amazon paying the big bucks in the US tbh
lol yeah
most of the intern spots are gonna be reserved for return interns
See you at amz prime video team 
used to be meta till 4 weeks ago 😭
amazon managers are rng tho
hft where?
js
you can get screwed by a bad manager
reminds me
got to optiver OA numerical reasoning
i need to apply to js
round 3
if you're NOT from a co op or canadian school and NOT a specialized role for engineering AND starting 2022 season onwards, you will probably get rejected for offseason and offered only summer
lets gooo
what did he mean by this
dabi 
yea im not in it for return offer
i want the resume + $$
and ik they won't rescind my offer 2 days before my start date
also is meta open for 2023 yet
oof meta has no internship postings at all
wagon do you know if google winter can get ft return offer for 2024
Yeah you start getting FT return offers for next year starting winter the prev year
ok pog
does amazon ask num of islands?
maybe ill ask for winter return offer initially
i think i remember someone getting it
alr alr not bad of a question
Juda does meta ask 2sum
they open up in september
ic
i dmed a recruiter a bit ago
someone got 2 sum + 3 sum in 1 round
Like 30% of my program’s 2022 graduating class was going to meta for FT 
what school do u go to

yup
loo yes
yea loo and cmu are the 2 biggest fb feeders
and georgia tech
hm
AVI 
and uc riverside
ive seen a lot of gatech interns but not much gatech full time at fb
AVI will work at FB when i pass Rentech
bc gatech people go to the real top dog: amazon
He’ll be collecting them bug bounties tho 
who is avi
Mutual friend
Technically we’re both on the west coast rn 
cscd
Where? Cali?
yes
no chicago 
but im relocating to miami
I will depending on where I am next winter
to work for cit

Florida 
@cold path why arent u in the meta server
wagon if i get google winter we have to meet up
With our intern hats
in winter

i can do winter + summer and graduate in the fall if i want to
I can do 2 offseasons and still graduate on time
pee
ok im also going to be in california in winter
btw
not for work or anything, just for funsies
if bexor dodges im killing myself
juda i would suggest working for google instead
no they don't
ik someone that got only lc easy for fall 2022
nyc is so different from canada
bay area is probably the most similar to canada tbh except for the weather
high prices and suburbs 
Exactly 
canada weather 
that has to be 100% just rng
most google gets much harder
why would i go to nyc. why would i pay money to go there
Also NYC would be nice bc my Amazon friends wanna meet up in Toronto in winter 
from what ive heard
yeah
So much easier to go to Toronto from nyc than anywhere in Cali
its usually lc med graph and tree from what ive heard
They tend to ask harder qs for people they think need a challenge
woohoo
oh yea you might get harder problems if you have cp on your resume
did you get hard questions?
i hope they dont give me math questions just cuz im a math major
i mean giving lc easy to a cp chad would be funny
You’re not gonna ask an icpc chad 2sum now are you
imo the best way is ask lc medium and if the candidate needs a challenge, ask harder follow ups but don't count those against them
yo
📠
stop
lc/cf monkey 

yo anyone got codesignal link?
no
Check 2022 summer archive


why doxxing me mr vexor?
Judah
your name is your dox
do you have a linkedin mr juda?
MR BOG
luka >
do I have your linkedin mr HRT simp?
luka trash
nope 😦 connect w me
jokic >>>
luka slow
@placid nebula yo
ty
is it worth doing any cerfifications
mr bog collecting loo kids 
amazons giving some % off for interns so I was considering but they seem broing
does it help resume
need to ask me hows 2 sigma in a year 
gonna interview all of you 3 on stream 
you in 2 weeks
mr wagon
Stop
amazon -> cit pipeline
🙏
lads
another questions regarding the b75 questions
should i grind them by topics?
okayyy
okay, i'll give my best!
and
@quaint bolt how did you study for the behavioural part of the amazon interview?
my problem is that there are a shit ton of techniques
Just prepped a couple stories for some LPs
i can bs like 1 or two stories
Go to lc discuss, there’s common LP qs there
isnt their behavior portion like mc?
thanks! @quaint bolt
Not the actual interview
Why is it recommended to do the list in order?
In real interviews, your questions can be from any topic so it is important to get all-rounded practice/coverage of the most important coding interview patterns/topics in the limited time you have, regardless of how long you allocated to spend on interview preparation, be it a week, a month, or 3 months.
Thoughts on this?
Isn’t grind75 to learn em tho
It should be renamed to lc forum
stop
Go back to grind
No
they get hired one below typically
It depends
Doing a master for pay bump seems like a bad move for me
Agreed,
Just asking the question, not sure how pay differs in general for grad vs UG
Would you recommend going topic by topic or grind75 style if you have only a month and only covered 2-3 blind75 topics
I’m interested in research, so i am considering
Haha
You can try to join a company and do research there
It might be better overall
Oh interesting
it never prompted me to do so
Probably 1-2yr for faang
I might be wrong tho
But it seems plausible to me
god i hate clone graphs
why is valkyrie trading using the optiver math test to recruit LOL
cisco meraki oa is a fucking joke
p easy stuff
v straightfoward
probably lc easy
bruh is it something like u can only take the capital one oa once a year
or something
6 months
Word search 
what no
not a word search
it was way easier shit
did i take the wrong test lmao
I fucking didn't read through the whole question I saw "find words in the grid" and I straight up implemented word search 2 and was wondering why tf test cases weren't passing

I heard it has word search
I can't say what the question was exactly
but it wasn't word search
and one something else
you don't even need recursion
ohh
yeah I think one was that
it's been a month since I applied though
ghosted

Did you solve the question mr sadnoodle?
i solved all of them
yea same
With all test cases?
i just took it today tho
yes
python did this reformatting of 3.00 to 3.0 which fucked me up
hard
but i got it tho
Capital One ghosted me too and I had 845 codesignal
its ok
i'll just ace my amazon interview in 3 days and everything will be gucci
i didnt even get amazon oa
Pretty sure it’s too early for cap1
ah is that so
I got offer last year after applying in September
Codesignal only allows one Codesignal every 6 months or a year
Cap1 also targets some schools so depends where you go
ohh thats a bummer
uhhhhhhhhhh
I think so?
Yeah something like that
Except it had limits
you can't just change directions and shit
and the goal was always size n
I’ve already warmed up
Just did a codesignal 
816 
L
wtf
i got lucky
4/4 or gtfo
No
u can take a new one every 2 weeks

800+ is enough 
L
Did anyone have that link to the GitHub master list for CodeSignal topics
tell that to roblox
800+ is enough for roblox 
there was a really good one for prep for those
rng
If you got rejected that’s a skill issue right there 
bruh i got the L with an 822
some people get piss easy questions for all 3
And you go to a decent uni + past exp
decent uni is the key
"decent"
I don’t know any company that rejects with a 800+
I know
If asana is okay with ~750, every company should be too 
816 was enough for asana so hopefully it will be enough for other companies 
But it is an L for wagon
Why bother opening q3
Is asana standard GCA or custom
gca
Loo kid + g team match + akuna decline and only 816

It is
Pls over by late august
Do you want to be in a call during the contest mr wagon?
When school starts I’m checking out
no mr bog 
Can’t use it cus proctor needs ID

No lc contest
Everyone still uses it
Bro touching too much grass
It’s chill
You are going to become a plant by touching so much grass
Oh really?
That’s good
Anyone here who has attempted black stone pymetric games?
Hope u get slack 🙏
bruh the fuck was ghag
that*
good, the weather here’s super nice this week
Don’t they like all 4
Not just 1 2 4
Same with databricks
Have you given it?
DMed you
yup
i was good at spamming the space bar
Hey guys how you doing? Have anyone of you applied to Goldman Sachs with a referral?
Data bricks
My friend got databricks with just 1, 2 and 4
800+ imo guarantees you pass the OA portion but then there’s screening after that too
Resume reject then? 
Unless they changed it
Ur friend at loo*
rip he's gone
@Ducc#8301
@Ducc#8301
Nooo mr ducc 
send link

Adios for life 
What
Is databricks open
What about Airbnb

Are they talking about how shit Cali is?
no airbnb workers here only goog amz neuralink tesla
And that everyone should move to nyc?
I'm wondering why

why do u like nyc mr wagon
Tesla L
fr
i saw a post saying someone was working at tesla this fall in canada for 24cad/hr 
I like the cultural pockets you find everywhere in nyc
And SF is just tech bros
But I do like cali weather
paris momen
paris momen
bog moment 
Paris is overrated
Depends
If you are an Asian tourist, you will be a target for pickpockets tho
lexisnexis
yes
just sounds like companies that pay more than google 
i feel like u should have big tech before having quant
only to other hedge funds lol
so u have a safety net to fall back on llol
goog will open way more doors than any of those companies and in general people tend to go to big tech before quant anyways
I didn't even know what jane street was before I started applying to companies 
you'd be surprised
not imc or akuna
Unless you know every recruiter in the world
Bro stfu, grind, get these offers and you will figure out later
wait bawb, how many internships do u have left
Now you are wasting time
🤣 bro doesnt know who u are LMFAO
who r u
one post of ur stats from last season and everyone’ll shut up

yes
anyscale
anyways I'm biased so I'll always pick goog 
at least you can explain to normies what u work on
stop
thing with akuna and imc is that their FT return offers arent worth it. their only benefit is u get quant clout. but passing quant firm new grad interviews is ridiculously hard. idt its worth
dont diss bog like that
i saw ur resume its mid
u need to make a startup to even be decent
@coarse marten he has better resume than u
And roblox was fun i rmb playing that sht in grade 4-5
he really clowned u mr bog

yahkuna shut up
what about
bog has a better resume than u
runescape 
stop
let’s gooo I’m safe
We are going to block them
Fr
like no one gives a shit about ur resume
stop wasting time and do something
stop debating which company is better
not really
He should grind and stop wasting time on this discord like us
who says it wasnt serious lol
yes
like being serious ur resume is good
just grind LC and systems if you want quant
make more projects showing compiler knowledge is you want to go dow the cpp route
well any decent quant tier company opens up any door
Mr altf4
google also opens lots of quant doors?
i think cit is the best of both worlds. a worthwhile new grad offer + good clout
what quant doors do you want
google or meta is good enough for js or hrt
amazon is good enough for hrt
you dont need any big names to get HFT
you just need to be good at interviewing once u get the interbiew
- MIT
do u want headlands or smth?
bruh
bro people from target schools live in another world lol
Ez to say that as an mit student
dude its not that big of a deal if u cant pass interbiews like me lmfao
like top tech is a level playing field basically
omc isnt better
if u use ur opportunities
its around imc pay
Wtf is OMC?
theres also alameda research, jump crypto, 5 rings
what ego?
damn I thought my man just kept misspelling IMC 
tgs, pdt partners
jump crypto sounds very pog
yeah like ik people who got interviews from those niche firms but they had exp at lower tier firms
if youre looking for pay thats strictly better than js hrt and citadel
it is
thats all youve got
i think u need lower tier quant firm to get interviews at those firms unless ur target + faang or smth i swear
Wagon, can you timeout me for 3d? gonna grind hard

not really
the only person I know there was on this loo team 
im pretty sure if youre doing tech something like meta is probably near the top
so I don't see myself getting in
unicorns have too much risk for slightly better payoff
agreed yea
agreed too
im working on the smallest fucking portion of my teams shit
like
but a lot of startups are usually just front end or back end
wtf
a lot of companies in general
you sure?
if u want interesting work u can work at prop trading companies
like maybe theres core os on apple or something
can't for 3 days just leave and join back
but for internships getting on a team you want for a big company is pretty luck based
google kinda does?
team match is basically that lol
you say what you want and they try to match you to projects that match your interests and exp
pog 
Keyword try
At the end of the day you can’t be too picky with internships
Especially if you want to work at big tech
For the most part you do get a say at Google tho whereas for Amazon it's complete rng for example unless you're a return intern
htmlbot’s akuna proj 
Ye but if project manager likes you then you have to take their offer
Even if you don't want to

it made 0 sense
I don't see why not
Guys how long did Amazon take to give you an invite after you finished your OA?
🪞
How many days
for general pop still matters to have a good name
okay, lets see how this goes this time
theres a page he read to gain context for it yea
Probably not if it delays your graduation date
last year for me it was like 1-2 days
You got this!
most definitely
I mean the stuff my recruiter sent me says otherwise? You're not forced to take the offer unless you want to (I would take it bc project matching is hell but still)
it doesn't
bawbs a player. he wants options 😍
im taking classes in the fall with coinbase because idc about my preformance with them lol
Business days or days?
I’d assume business days
ye guess we heard diff stuff then. but everyone I spoke to about it said same thing
business days ig, I took mine during the week
Idrc though where I end up
Cam you graduate earlier if you don't do the interviews?
Oh gotcha, hopefully hear soon then
Also who is SIG
nah
Really?
ive only delayed my grad date by 1 semester so far for coinbase, but if I take classes during that semester I wont have to push back again
That makes sense
