[sinful locust]

Nice

[past comet]

Do this and you will get interviews

[sinful locust]

If they review in Aug should be fine

[stable root]

After taking my OA i got "Status - Under Review" for Amazon, is this a good sign, bad sign, or just standard?

[past comet]

I might get another two interviews with two diff teams

[sinful locust]

Oh damnnn nice

[past comet]

yea but not Cupertino teams

[ember bison]

apple has ghosted me like 5x

theyre fucking horrible w it

[sinful locust]

Oh ok

[past comet]

I am gonna mail my recruiter today

[sinful locust]

Gl 👑

[hallow scroll]

Yeah your resume has to be super specific and specialized to hear back from Apple

[sinful locust]

Is your goal for this year Slack?

[hallow scroll]

If I get the offer I’m taking it because I’m too lazy to recruit

[sinful locust]

Nice slack is rlly pog

Ending recruiting season early sounds so nice

[hallow scroll]

I have one more recruiting season, I can legit just not interview for like 10 months

Yeah Fr

[sinful locust]

Facts

That time is so precious

they only want cream of the crop

cream of the crop aint got time to be one discord

[ivory ocean]

Alright @hallow scroll fess up

We know this was you

[ivory ocean]

Standard

It means theyre reviewing it

[stable root]

What i thought thanks for clarifying

[ivory ocean]

It’s blind yeah

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRAASW3E/?k=1

Fuck

The new pfp confused me

Oh no

I was just talking to you in DM

[ivory ocean]

I can’t even imagine that lmao especially the copy pasting to discord

[sinful locust]

[ivory ocean]

Some random college kids out there have a huge piece of Amazon’s code base now

[hidden gust]

does jane street reject non-target school applicants?

[ember bison]

idk my friend got an interview for swe and he was some random canadian uni

[quaint bolt]

JS is one of the firms that don’t care too much about target

[ember bison]

he had akuna + fb tho 😃

[quaint bolt]

Ofc it helps, but they’d care more about prev FAANG/HFT exp

[ember bison]

my project was not infra-y enough 😔

📠

i see jane street interns all the time bro

its so cringe cuz theyre always wearing their swag every time i see em

[sinful locust]

its not even safe to walk around town wearing company swag like that

ur marking urself as a target

[ember bison]

exactly

[sinful locust]

like imagine wearing a meta t-shirt on the train

ur bound to get FUCKED

[ember bison]

imagine if some HRT kids (bloods) saw u wearing ur JS (crips) shirt

[ember bison]

thats actually not cap

our nyc office has no logo because they dont want protestors

[sinful locust]

based

[ember bison]

like u walk in

and u have no idea what company it is

[sinful locust]

i wish all companies were like that

like why would u wanna dox the location of all ur employees

maybe im a lil too paranoid

idk

[past comet]

Can I use email trackers for emails ? I think my recruiter ghosted me

[fickle ivy]

is shittadel oa hard

[past comet]

nope. ezzzz

[fickle ivy]

okey

how ez

lc ez?

or lc med

[past comet]

easy-med

[fickle ivy]

no trees right

i hate trees

[past comet]

trees are

[past comet]

nah i didnt get them

[fickle ivy]

:okayge:

med meds or ez meds

or hard meds

[past comet]

lmao

[viral vine]

what is Jane street resume bar ????

im at hft and still got rejected so fast

[ember bison]

lmfao what did u do there

that matters i think

[fickle ivy]

jane street

swe or trader

which is worth more

[viral vine]

swe

swe at hft right now

[fickle ivy]

do they pay the same

[ember bison]

huh js traders make 600k+ starting bro

[fickle ivy]

???? cap??

[ember bison]

no cap

[viral vine]

yea but imc still solid

applied to js intern

[fickle ivy]

no i mean like

should i appl yto

js swe

[ember bison]

bro

[fickle ivy]

or js trading

[viral vine]

js swe

[fickle ivy]

which intern pays more k

[ember bison]

are you more interested in swe or trading

[fickle ivy]

both equally

[ember bison]

by ur name it seems like trading

[ember bison]

who gives a fuck

[fickle ivy]

idt i can make js trading

im better at swe

[fickle ivy]

/j

[ember bison]

ull probably get an interview for trading not swe

[sinful locust]

Bars are very high for both

[fickle ivy]

i think js recruits at my skool

but im not sure

[ember bison]

just do trading until you get a faang on ur resume

then u can do whatever

js swe resume bar hella high

[fickle ivy]

so wait for trading role to open up

ok

[stark basin]

i prayed for no binary search in my interview and god forsook me

[sinful locust]

Trading interview at JS is insane i think

[fickle ivy]

js swe resume screen is mandatory faang?

[ember bison]

multiple ppl ik with no exp from non targets got trading interviews

[fickle ivy]

ya

[sinful locust]

Mandatory big N

[fickle ivy]

ah fml

im a youngling

[sinful locust]

How many passed tho

[ember bison]

we’ve had this convo like a billion times

[ember bison]

1

[sinful locust]

Me?

Nice

[ember bison]

no poker player

[sinful locust]

Oh ok

Yeah

[fickle ivy]

wats the convo

madge

[sinful locust]

Yeah you have so much time, def don’t need to land JS first year to have a chance at anything

You have much better chances at big n

Still apply tho

[fickle ivy]

what does big n really consist of

[sinful locust]

Any recognizable name

[fickle ivy]

i feel like most big n isnt open yet right

[sinful locust]

Correct

[fickle ivy]

okey

ok ill go study for amzn oa then ig

and wait for js trader to open

[sinful locust]

Do uk when it open

[fickle ivy]

no idea

[frozen pivot]

When does js trading open?

[fickle ivy]

.

[barren pivot]

anyone hear back from blackrock after OA?

[hallow scroll]

Yeah I did

Nah, I had a pretty hard one

1 med 1 easy then this 1 hard

Yeah the rng can range from all easies to all meds/hards

For fall I got 3 dp problems lol

[sand pendant]

don't expect to hear back before end of august

[ivory ocean]

Just got cap one final invite

[stable root]

just got cap one final and amazon final

Fucking balling

[ivory ocean]

When did you do Amz OA?

[stable root]

Friday

[ivory ocean]

Okay

I did mine Saturday

I think

Oh just got it

For Amazon did you get a 1x45 or 1x60?

[stable root]

1x45

is there a 1x60?

[hallow scroll]

Don’t think so

[ivory ocean]

I wasn't sure

[willow canopy]

^

[stable root]

I sent my codesignal a little under 2 weeks ago

[ivory ocean]

Idk I just got my email with questions

Is that I meant

Yeah I'd like to know too

[hollow field]

Oh should be a couple days

Depends on grad date tho what did y’all put

[heavy magnet]

what is blackrock OA like? it says i can do it over 5 days or something and use of APIs in java etc

is it not standard algo/ds stuff?

[ashen portal]

does Amazon resume review before they send the OA?

[ivory ocean]

genuinely super easy

[ivory ocean]

yeah

[ashen portal]

alright, welp, just gotta pray for the best

[heavy magnet]

can u google stuff while doing it lol? havent used java for leetcode at all

[ivory ocean]

syntax yes

but it tracks your seraches

searches*

[heavy magnet]

i see well thx any tips on what to read up on b4 starting?

[ivory ocean]

Tbh I don't really remember it

besides being so shocked at how easy it was

like it was like 2sum level

[heavy magnet]

lmao why is it over 5 days then?

thought it would be like a whole mini project

[ivory ocean]

Yeah idk

lemme see if I can find my email and see if mine said that

maybe theres different variants for different stuff?

OH WAIT lmfaooo

my bad dude

i feel bad now

I was thinking of SIG

I never did blackrock

[heavy magnet]

ah okay lmao

[ivory ocean]

I actually completely forgot abt it

[heavy magnet]

i did SIG and got mediums i think

got perfect and rejected

[ivory ocean]

I just found teh email and yeah it says "must use java" and I've never written java in my life

[heavy magnet]

i think anyway

[ivory ocean]

I haven't heard back from SIG yet

[heavy magnet]

well that's the blackrock oa email

[ivory ocean]

Yeah that's what I just found in my deleted

I think I saw the "primarily use java" and decided it wasnt for me

[random apex]

@viral vine where u working at now

[sinful locust]

oh no time limit tf

i thought it was harshly timed so i’ve never gotten around to taking it

[ivory ocean]

Aaaand there’s Palantir reject

Still a good day

[fallen stratus]

how long did it take before u heard back from blackrock

blackstone*

[pseudo orbit]

;_;

[fallen stratus]

is there anyone in this server who does resume reviews?

[pseudo orbit]

at least you got pretty far in their pipeline

[pseudo orbit]

go to #resume

[hollow field]

Yeah that’s what I meant and u shld get final soon

[ivory ocean]

When did you answer the questions email

Also AMZ didn't send any confirmation after I selected my final interview time - is this normal?

Yeah yours was fast wow

I replied roughly 40 min ago

So lets see haha

[proud whale]

Does anyone know what Optiver swe OA is like? Says we have 72 hours, dunno what to expect

[sinful locust]

[proud whale]

Is it leetcode tho?

[sinful locust]

[proud whale]

I was expecting to use python it’s just a HackerRank. It’s not gonna let me use python?

[ember bison]

theres only java or cpp? :ropium:

[sinful locust]

no

u can only use haskell

and OCamL

[proud whale]

[sinful locust]

[proud whale]

So which languages could you use

[sinful locust]

[steady crow]

at what stage are os questions asked for optiver swe

[sinful locust]

it’s not always OS lol

it’s systems design

[ember bison]

have u seen the reddit post of that one person getting optiver

[sinful locust]

[coarse marten]

Sharding, replicas

[ember bison]

[sinful locust]

stop

change ur name

ur not T10

[royal sail]

Yo if u retake the codesignal gca for a company can you still send an old score or do you have to send the new one

[sinful locust]

ur T0

STOOOP

Yahkuna can lift 1000 kg btw

[sonic steeple]

anyone know if instabase only takes 840+ codesignal like quora/dropbox, or will they still move me forward with ~820

[coarse marten]

Mr altf4, are you doing well

[sinful locust]

no i’m a failure

i will renege eveything

[coarse marten]

Seems you are ravaged now

[sinful locust]

BEEYTHING

EVERYTHING

[sand pendant]

did anyone else get just a 1 day deadline for instabase OA?

[sonic steeple]

nah i got 14 days

[ember bison]

theyre out?!

[sinful locust]

they’re not worth ur time

[sonic steeple]

its from greylock

[sinful locust]

only AMD is

[proud whale]

It says 14 days in email but the codesignal shows July 26th lol

[sand pendant]

wtf hope it's a mistake ob my end lol

[sand pendant]

same

[sonic steeple]

oh lmao didnt see that it said july 26

ig im just submitting my previous one then lol

[ember bison]

fuckk mannn idk why i got greylock reject 😭

[heavy magnet]

its auto

[ember bison]

im depresso

[ember bison]

nah they r

i need 4 internships fo next year

[royal sail]

I just take a half day of PTO ussually

[rugged knoll]

can someone send the instabase link?

[ember bison]

its greylock 😭

[rugged knoll]

[sinful locust]

Is it standard code signal?

I registered at greylock, didn’t get it

Is there a separate link?

[sinful locust]

Not sure, i think 820+ should be fine

[ember bison]

im roping cuz greylock diff is real

[sonic steeple]

yeah codesignal GCA. i think it was just the app link from greylock, didn't see anything else

[sinful locust]

And here’s me who registered but didnt get the link

[proud whale]

My highest codesignal is 725 so far

[sinful locust]

Wait is it not auto oa

[sonic steeple]

there was a greylock-specific app link, not just registering interest

[sinful locust]

No i did that

That’s what i mean

[proud whale]

Idt it’s auto, it says we reviewed ur application

[sinful locust]

I submitted the app, it was like our team will review your application, etc etc

Interesting

Maybe i got resume rejected

Yes

Yes

Wtf

[proud whale]

Is instabase for summer 23

[sinful locust]

Believe so

Yo

Tú

Ty

Él

[ivory ocean]

pretend your family needs you there

[sinful locust]

Gato

[royal sail]

Hopefully instabase likes my 815 since I really don’t want to redo the gca

[velvet mortar]

Did recruiter reach out aside from the codesignal link?

[sand pendant]

yeah don't think it's auto

[velvet mortar]

Oh tf, how come I only got codesignal lmao

[sand pendant]

check spam

[ember bison]

is cold emailing instabase gonna work? 👀

[sand pendant]

that's where I find most of my emails💀

[velvet mortar]

Oh lmao it was under promotions

Wtf

[sand pendant]

maybe later in the season when the apps are out

someone ask them to fix this OA deadline😩

[sinful locust]

What’s the title of the email

What’s their bar, do uk

840+?

[sand pendant]

well I will be giving my first codesignal lol

[sinful locust]

No i dont disagree

[royal sail]

^ I’ve been using the block link

[sinful locust]

Don’t u have to do diff accts to avoid not getting not verified

[sand pendant]

did you get like a survey before?

[sinful locust]

One a week or two weeks?

Isnt it 2 was

[sand pendant]

apparently they caught on to that trick

[proud whale]

Bruh thats cracked

[royal sail]

I thought that was only with multiple accounts it’s not allowed

[sinful locust]

Good RNG needed

[proud whale]

Isn’t it every 2 weeks

[sand pendant]

why not just send 848

[sinful locust]

Yea

[sinful locust]

6 month

[proud whale]

Bruh 844 848 same shit

[sand pendant]

bro you're hella cracked

is this trick for question 4?

what if you don't get a avl tree question?

[proud whale]

^ I’m confused lol

[sinful locust]

Yea agreed

[proud whale]

Yeah

[sinful locust]

How do AVL fit in

[proud whale]

Yeah

[sinful locust]

How can u just apply AVL to any array prob

Like a heap being an array?

Yea

[willow canopy]

With Python what’s the library for that?

[proud whale]

What’s o(n) in heap

[sinful locust]

@sinful locust what about avl tree of fibonacci heaps

There’s no library

Lol

[proud whale]

it’s nlogn

[sand pendant]

so do you mean to say question 3 and 4 can everytime be solved in some way using AVL tree?

[proud whale]

No?

[sinful locust]

Lol

Black red != AVL iirc but they’re close

[sand pendant]

@woven quest

[sinful locust]

Yeah java treeset is red black

C++ multiset is better

Supports repeated elements

[proud whale]

I hope someone else reading this also dk wtf a black red tree is

[sinful locust]

Javas trees dont support repeated elements

Clown stuff

Red black trees are cool

[hallow scroll]

Facts

[sinful locust]

Still doesnt allow repeats

[proud whale]

Just make a purple green tree bro

[sinful locust]

Sets and maps

Can u use diff languages for each question

Domt allow duplicate keys

Im sorry

But its just true

Waz

[proud whale]

So what do u use for AVL trees

[sand pendant]

I still didn't get the trick

[sinful locust]

Never use avl

[proud whale]

Does Java have a library for avl trees?

[sinful locust]

Red black is often better

[proud whale]

LMFAOOOO guys I’m out

[sinful locust]

Tree set works

I think

[proud whale]

I’m soooo lost

[sinful locust]

Less overhead on inserting

Any balanced bst is fine

Theyre all log n

What’s the difference for inserting

I should read CLRS

[proud whale]

How do I make a balanced bst in python

[sinful locust]

Avl’s just heavier operations

Ig AVL has more

Yea

Cause you need to recalculate heights which can propagate

[sand pendant]

do you code in java?

[sinful locust]

Nah we code in Javascript

Why are people interviewing in july

[hallow scroll]

Gl

[proud whale]

What are u prepping for, just use an AVL tree

U for sure got this

Like 0 doubt

Why can’t u use python for a balanced bst

[sinful locust]

Yea

Implement yourself

[sand pendant]

all the best for amazon OA, will try reaching out to you to understand the trick later on

[sinful locust]

Interesting I’ll look into the AVL approach

[stark basin]

implementing AVL yourself

fuck that

[native scaffold]

How long does Amazon take to respond after completing final

[proud whale]

Ahhh Java has a library for it huh

I see

[sinful locust]

Yes

[stark basin]

apparently 5 business days
I will get back to you on that though

[proud whale]

We can get 800+ w/o Q3 tho right?

[sand pendant]

which question was the avl tree trick for?

[sinful locust]

Yes

[stark basin]

mine starts counting today

[sand pendant]

yes

[sinful locust]

You can get 830 i think

Or wait 820

[proud whale]

Fire

Why

Bruh im at 725

I need an 800+ for now

[sinful locust]

If u get 840 ur set

[proud whale]

Then I’ll grind for the 840

[sand pendant]

for someone trying to get 800+ first time 124 trick is better

that's what I will probably do

[proud whale]

Every 2 weeks

And I have hella OAs waiting

[sand pendant]

yeah but every 14 days

[hallow scroll]

810+ is good for most companies especially if you have a good resume

[proud whale]

I use block trick

U mean w a separate account?

This man

[hallow scroll]

Yeah but there’s no need to lol

[opal ocean]

gotta cooldown

[hallow scroll]

Yeah

[sinful locust]

Yeea

[proud whale]

How is block trick infinite, it’s every 14 days

[sand pendant]

what about this?

[proud whale]

The separate acc shit they catch on

[sinful locust]

U can tho

[proud whale]

Q3

[sinful locust]

Hm idk tho

[simple garden]

anyone do akuna quant strategy phone?

[sinful locust]

Doesn’t retaking a code signal just auto replaces it

[proud whale]

💀💀💀💀

[hearty river]

my FAANG coach

@proud whale

[proud whale]

I’m off to get gud y’all

[sand pendant]

will keep this in mind once I get 800+ at least once

[sinful locust]

Time to use java again

[hearty river]

My coach will get me right

@sinful locust

[proud whale]

Same

[hearty river]

no kizzy

[proud whale]

I’m taking one today

[sinful locust]

Hm I’ll try it

[sand pendant]

let us know how it goes🙏🙏🙏

[sinful locust]

I’ll do a practice today after reviewi ng java

[proud whale]

[rugged knoll]

uhh can someone explain what block trick is?

[proud whale]

Can someone make balanced bst for python

From collections import balancedbst

[soft basin]

for java it’s treemap

[ivory ocean]

God dammit

I missed my morgan stanly

I forgot

[sinful locust]

Same

Who cares about it though

[willow canopy]

^

[random sonnet]

Lol Amazon has some nerve sending me a link for assessment feedback after rejecting me 🤡

[ivory ocean]

also do you think recruiters know @jolly spade for python stuff?

[sinful locust]

Morgan Stanley some stupid sht

[ivory ocean]

like just the directive

cuz it means you don't have to bother memoizing

its automatic lmfao

[soft basin]

just give all negative then 😈

[proud whale]

Instabase fixed their OA mistake

They’re sending a new codesignal

[zenith vortex]

lmao

[sand pendant]

yeah just got the email at the same time lol

[sinful locust]

Where’s my instabase OA

[ivory ocean]

Did Citi send out any OA yet?

I applied 6/7

[sinful locust]

yo

i got jane street offer

[ivory ocean]

Safe to call that a rejection?

[sinful locust]

10 times

in a row

[ivory ocean]

What

[simple garden]

anyone do akuna quant stategy phone? Apparently its coding + math/probability

[sinful locust]

stop

[simple garden]

Im finished

[sinful locust]

It counts for the same thing

[ivory ocean]

wtf does js 10 times in a row even mean

[sinful locust]

it means stop

[ivory ocean]

you applying for their internship as a 30 yo

?

[sinful locust]

Bruh i dint even get the thing

From instabase even tho i applied

[fallen stratus]

do all companies send out codesignals nowadays?

[ivory ocean]

no

[sinful locust]

Time to leverage 2 final rounds

[opal ocean]

test bank tho 👀

[sinful locust]

can u leverage me

[sinful locust]

Theyre both GCA i think so should be fine

[sinful locust]

dm

[green crown]

out of context but damn KD to celtics !!!

[tough ledge]

anyone hear back from Merkai after OA yet?

[hot dock]

hello guys, has anyone taken the McKinsey's 70 minute digital assessment game?

[sinful locust]

Not a chance

[fickle ivy]

pymetrics?

[green crown]

its happening

[hot dock]

not sure, havent taken it yet, but its some kind of game assessment

[hot dock]

you interviewed with them?

[fickle ivy]

no

but i did pymetrics for

blackstone

[trim vigil]

is solving 2 qs for palantir karat enough

[sinful locust]

No shot

[ember bison]

sometimes

[sinful locust]

They want jb and smart

And another and picks

[crisp berry]

when did instabase apps come out

[sinful locust]

Theres no way that happens

[crisp berry]

and are they closed?

i cant find them online

[sinful locust]

Greylock apparently

[crisp berry]

oh

[sinful locust]

I applied via greylock still didnt get OA

[sand pendant]

it's not auto

[crisp berry]

how do i find tech fairs

i think im missing out

[sinful locust]

Lmao im the only one that got rejected

[coarse crane]

How far did u get into 3rd

[sand pendant]

don't think there are many out there

greylock one is pretty famous

[trim vigil]

didnt at all LOL

finished 2 at the last second

[trim vigil]

also kinda inted the technical part 1

[coarse crane]

I’d retake tbh

[sinful locust]

U can brute force right

[coarse crane]

The dsa quiz?

[trim vigil]

ahh ok

[trim vigil]

it wasnt dsa for me...

[coarse crane]

Interesting

[trim vigil]

talked ab implementaiton stuff

[trim vigil]

does palantir look at both recordings?

or just ur most recent

[crisp berry]

what does this mean

uh oh

[trim vigil]

like they gave a problem + implementatin

and asked if it was good

and reasoning

[crisp berry]

oh

so you have to say whether or not their runtime is good

[sand pendant]

is karat after OA?

is it oa->karat-> final for palantir?

[trim vigil]

oa karat onsite final

[ivory ocean]

That’s what I did and got rejected

Was optimal first and brute force second

[ivory ocean]

Both

[sinful locust]

yo can u stop

[ivory ocean]

Stop what

[coarse crane]

Most recent

[trim vigil]

hmmm ok

is doing 2 qs a definite reject?

[coarse crane]

Idk

I’d assume so?

[trim vigil]

fuck it i'll email my recruiter

[crisp berry]

haven't people here mentioned passing with only 2 solved

[ivory ocean]

No idk if it is or isn’t

[coarse crane]

They prob did parts fo 3 tho

[ivory ocean]

Yeah it could be, could not be

[crisp berry]

u have a redo right

might be worth to try again

[ivory ocean]

I’d assume they weigh it with resume and other factors

[crisp berry]

with the increased knowledge

[ivory ocean]

Like the initial tests

[crisp berry]

i never got an initial test

so idk if that helps

[trim vigil]

ight ig i'll redo then

[ivory ocean]

Like the short response questions at the beginning wym

Where it’s either design, time complexity, whatever quizzes

[quaint bolt]

Like a month

[sinful locust]

[quaint bolt]

How good are you with discrete math?

[honest locust]

i love compiler work tho

[sinful locust]

okay now start again

[honest locust]

??

[sinful locust]

Altf4 stop clowning

Ppl are being serious

[near swallow]

My curriculum was half as hard as yours but i loved it fav class

[sinful locust]

these are serious matters

:waz:

[sinful locust]

Ask Kirbs forgiveness

[honest locust]

a lot of work tho

[sinful locust]

im taking systems next semester

hopefully its fun

[near swallow]

I was barely able to derive those grammars tho or whatevs

The recursive ones

[sinful locust]

Grammars ?

Recursive relations?

[near swallow]

[honest locust]

backus-naur form!

weeeeee

[near swallow]

Yes what pete said

[quaint bolt]

Then you’ll be fine

[sinful locust]

Should i read OSTEP

[near swallow]

We just called it grammars lol

[sinful locust]

OSTEP looks goated

[sinful locust]

yes its great for OS

[quaint bolt]

Compilers is hard work

[sinful locust]

but the thing is systems encompasses a whole lot of shit

lmao

[quaint bolt]

But very fun

[honest locust]

i don't remember using much discrete in my compilers course

[sinful locust]

Read it for ticket for 6IX interview

[quaint bolt]

The issue is the impact tho

[sinful locust]

ill get one either way

but i wont pass

@6ix

he said i need to learn cpp

its mandatory

[near swallow]

Check the homebase. I might work with compilers and build tools idk

[honest locust]

lmfaooo i used OCaml for my compiler, other groups use java or kotlin

[sinful locust]

and i need to be good

I will learn evyerhitng

same

[quaint bolt]

You’ll have more impact on something like IG reels than anything compiler-related

[sinful locust]

By next year i will be cracked

And by year before masters i will be

[near swallow]

Imagine a build tool everyone uses

[sinful locust]

stop

[quaint bolt]

Okay that’s fine

[sinful locust]

@hearty river hi

@sinful locust hi

[honest locust]

how do you feel about Carbon

the language

not the element

[sinful locust]

It’s better than Nitrogen

I code in Hydrogen tho

I wouldn’t know

[sinful locust]

I heard coding in Adamantium is the best

@hearty river stop lurking and go work

[honest locust]

go! dart!

[quaint bolt]

It’ll be years until Carbon’s ready to take on C++ so I’m not looking into it too much

[sinful locust]

Anyone still interviewing with yahkuna capital?

[hearty river]

YAHKUNA imposters

[compact yew]

^^^^^

C++ gonna stay for a very long time

[sinful locust]

It’s gonna stay forever

c++ is here to stay for sure

yeah

lmfao

It’s not

its hard but insane to learn

It’s cracked

like useful

CP will die when CPP does

Because CP is part of CPP

[compact yew]

sometimes it will be aids

[sinful locust]

Quite literally

[compact yew]

but well worth it

Like library support is nowhere near python

[sinful locust]

@compact yew hows that guaranteed google offer

^

😭

[compact yew]

hahaha i interviewed in c++ that's why they gave me it

[sinful locust]

[sharp yew]

How long does it take to hear back from Amazon after OA?

[ember bison]

[long slate]

[ivory ocean]

Has anyone here taken Amz final?

[ember bison]

i think 70% of this server has

[plush flume]

Hold Tf u mean 70% of the server 😭

Oh maybe like previous years

Then that makes sense

[ember bison]

uhhh

idts

ik freshman whove gotten amazon

but

id just lie bout grad date anyways

max(2024, ur grad date -1)

[versed kestrel]

shouldn't that be min lol

[soft basin]

u can lie a year abt grad date

be like oops

[ember bison]

nah i dont recommend lying 2 years about grad date

its worked but

its just so sus

[soft basin]

i fell behind imma need another year

i wish i could lie like that but i have like 40 credits left to take

nobody knows it’s rng

maybe they prioritize earlier grad dates but they still take later grad dates

[ember bison]

typically its one of the following:
no exp and not junior
junior from shitty school w no exp or projects

[soft basin]

i’m a junior from a shitty school w no exp and like 1 small project

[sinful locust]

Wait expedited for next year? Which position

[soft basin]

i think ucf is considered a shitty school no clue

[ember bison]

no its not

id say semi target yea

for faang at least

[honest spire]

It places well into quant

[ember bison]

eh

thats like 1 guy

[ashen portal]

Does JS have a policy of how often you can apply?

I applied on Saturday and still haven’t gotten a rejection yet and wondering if they just discounted that app cuz I apped for Fall 2022 a few months ago

[honest spire]

@ember bison may 2024 grad date would be junior right

[ashen portal]

Heard they do 24-hour rejections

[sinful locust]

any school is fine for faang

[soft basin]

idt quant maybe swe tho

[ember bison]

yea

[soft basin]

altho i’ll say my school is pretty shitty for cs

[ember bison]

same

[ashen portal]

Ah, alright, thanks

Time to wait for reject

What’s that?

Never seen that in my life before

[soft basin]

that’s not the grass i want to touch 😡

[ashen portal]

Duh

[soft basin]

https://tenor.com/view/weed-noweed-gif-20024478

[ashen portal]

Is that the fabled “grass” I hear about?

[honest spire]

Cali

[sinful locust]

non target

how’s the pay for kpmg

they kinda give off a trashy pay vibe

[weak wadi]

Microsoft is great

benefits are good, WLB is great, for the past 7 weeks was getting out at 1-2pm

[sinful locust]

sheesshhh wtf

^same

im tryna apply and get in

cant msft be hard af though apparently

like interviews wise

[weak wadi]

just that we’re hitting the ramp up phase so my brain is in pain trying to learn a bunch of tech stacks and read documentation that doesn’t exist sometimes

[honest spire]

@hearty river how Amex wlb

[weak wadi]

Most of the FTE’s are pretty much FT WFH

[sinful locust]

true some people get dp hards for google and some get fun meds

[weak wadi]

lots of them just decide they don’t want to work that day and so they just don’t

[sinful locust]

wtf

[weak wadi]

or they get a headache and go home at like 12

and nobody bats an eye

[hot grove]

ofc they get headaches looking at msft code

[coarse marten]

Bullshit dp detector: start working

[pseudo orbit]

that's solid, i wonder if they have any wfh jobs

[weak wadi]

most of the team is basically full WFH

although they show up occasionally for team meetings

if you want an actual WFH role I’m pretty sure it can be arranged

all very nice people

[sinful locust]

yo

[weak wadi]

I don’t work in C# for my internship

[sinful locust]

STOP

[weak wadi]

view from the Bellevue office

[stark basin]

that's a lotta parking

[weak wadi]

the Bellevue square mall is right next to it

just parking for that

I like to come here for the view, I normally work in Redmond

if you need a referral when apps open up lmk

i can probs slide one over

[hallow scroll]

come to slack with me next year

[soft basin]

sigma male move

[weak wadi]

Bill gates is off in that direction somewhere

[soft basin]

well fuck you bill gates

[weak wadi]

[sinful locust]

omw

[soft basin]

doesnt discord hire at least 4 year exp?

[weak wadi]

the office is in bell square

[hallow scroll]

todays a good day

[weak wadi]

Lincoln square which is connected

Floors 15-28 is Microsoft

It is very pretty during Christmas time

but the parking also sucks around that time

Microsoft rarely ever does fall unless it’s co-op

They’re moving some interns to fall this year though

Cause there was a ton of visa issues

[hallow scroll]

asana final is 4 hours dawg wtf 😭

[sinful locust]

yo
