2023_summer

[fickle drift]

just do LC all day for 2 months

[soft basin]

if i do get a good amt done i might even do neetcode 150

[weak wadi]

google better give me a gaming team if I get an offer or I’m not going

[sinful locust]

hi

[soft basin]

i usually stop being productive and being able to learn around a few hours

[sinful locust]

hi

[fickle drift]

yeah thats fair

[weak wadi]

brooo that’s sick

well the hiring freeze isn’t

But the team is

I’m on the Esports team at Microsoft

[soft basin]

personally webdev seems better than game dev imo

[weak wadi]

gaming related teams are pog

[weak wadi]

My team is webdev for esports content

[soft basin]

Ohhhh

oh well back to practicing dynamic programming

also why does neetcode have palindromic substring under 1d dynamic programming

its 2d

[weak wadi]

they actually throw you into a meeting with zuck to tell you they were freezing offers? @gentle latch

[sinful locust]

esports pog

[devout fractal]

will dp be on amazon oa?

I'm so bad at it

[weak wadi]

dp could be

[soft basin]

same

[weak wadi]

could also not be

amazon OA rng

[soft basin]

study everything

[devout fractal]

i hope not

[sinful locust]

randomized dawg

[soft basin]

and then jump off the building

[weak wadi]

did he initiate water drinking protocols

during the livestream

hm

yeah I feel pretty happy

I get paid well, the benefits are nice, I’m interested in the work I do

The first 2-4 years is competitive

Returning interns can negotiate up to 200k TC first 2 years

Afterwards it drops down to like 175k and then after 4.5 years of new grad your stock wears off and it drops to 118k

so yknow

no comment

[soft basin]

job hopping is pretty normal in swe tho

[weak wadi]

you have to enter the right team though for MSFT

Or else you’ll be bored out of your mind

[soft basin]

arent some companies advised to not ask dp to interns?

[weak wadi]

everyone wants to enter XBOX so the hopes and dreams of many people die early on

[soft basin]

would u take a return offer if they give one?

valid valid

[weak wadi]

The VP of my org had a town hall meeting today and stated that interns will be minimally affected by any hiring freezes

[sinful locust]

hows msft wlb

[soft basin]

personally i fear technical interviews so if im offered a return offer id take it

[weak wadi]

At most all that’ll happen is you might get moved teams when given a return offer

[weak wadi]

if you’re in azure gg

otherwise like 30hrs a week

sometimes less

[soft basin]

eventually like 30 years

what school do u go to btw juda?

[sinful locust]

[weak wadi]

cloud teams normally have the worst WLB but then again it’s also team dependent

[sinful locust]

yeah i heard something similar about aws

[soft basin]

oh shit tahts a good school

ik an ee there that interns at tesla

[steady crow]

why? and which companies?

[soft basin]

ive just heard it im not sure

not surprised lol

[weak wadi]

oh shit I’m UW too

[hot grove]

loo kids o boi

[weak wadi]

o wait loo?

I meant university of Washington

[hot grove]

oh

[weak wadi]

[hot grove]

💀

[weak wadi]

I get it we’re not as well known

[soft basin]

yeah i thought uw stood for university of washington

[weak wadi]

[hot grove]

well I'm from maple syrup land so.........UW = loo

[steady crow]

uw = udub = university of washington
uwaterloo = loo = waterloo
uw madison = wisco = madison

[honest spire]

U wisco best uw

[weak wadi]

Sure I’m down

[soft basin]

new york is nice

public transportation 😎

im a huge public transportation enthusiast

[weak wadi]

we got a light rail

[proud whale]

what is codesignal "defer" option

urgent pls

does it mean like i can take the test then pick which score to send

[soft basin]

do u guys pay to get ur pc moved for internships if yall are living elsewhere?

[coarse crane]

i sold my pc and got a laptop

[hearty river]

i sold my pc and got a laptop

[coarse crane]

too expensive to take it everywhere

[soft basin]

interesting

[coarse crane]

can i peg u

[soft basin]

ngl id never sell my pc

i took so long to build mine

[coarse crane]

i mean you can keep it at home/school

[soft basin]

yeah id prolly keep mine in a storage

[coarse crane]

3 months/yr isn't too long if you are only doing summer internships

[sand pendant]

Where is my Amazon OA

[soft basin]

hopefully this will last in a storage for 3 months

[coarse crane]

wouldn't count on it tbh

keep it in a safe place

like home or a friend's house

[soft basin]

hmm i dont trust my house

perhaps a friend not completely sure tho

yeah i prefer keeping it in a case

[sinful locust]

bro

who the fuck cares about a pc that much

[coarse crane]

pls just get a laptop 😭

[sinful locust]

^

fr

like whats so valuable about a pc

[coarse crane]

its rlly not that bad if you want to game get a zephyrus g14

[sinful locust]

that u cant do on a laptop...

games are a waste of time

go get a life

...

[soft basin]

i like my pc cuz of dual monitor and stuff

[sinful locust]

dont be silly

[hallow scroll]

no this is what I did

[coarse crane]

ik you didn't just say that we both shitpost on this server

[sinful locust]

thats beta shit

[compact yew]

Ye that is not bad idea at all

Very smart

I might do that too

[coarse crane]

fym beta shit you're a discord shitposter 😭

[sinful locust]

im kidding lol

[sinful locust]

calm down

[hallow scroll]

not really lol

[sinful locust]

STOOOOPP

[hallow scroll]

i only play with my gf like every other day

no

[soft basin]

i dont use pc for gaming its more of for storage and stuff

[hallow scroll]

im like silver 💀

I only play casually

[compact yew]

[sinful locust]

stop

[hallow scroll]

💯

[sinful locust]

yo refer me to google india

ty

[soft basin]

the only game i wanna hear abt is btd 😤

[sinful locust]

no

[compact yew]

the only game i play is chess

and @sinful locust goated at chess

[tawdry frigate]

fun fact i tried applying to amazon on microsoft wifi and it didnt let me

[compact yew]

and by their internships

[tawdry frigate]

maybe

good tbh

should stay competitive

[soft basin]

job hopping is pretty common anyways 🤷‍♂️

ok

[sinful locust]

nah bro

can we do another one
?

like blitz rapid

this would be my third game 😭

[weak wadi]

I’m plat 2

[hallow scroll]

theres 2 below that

I used to be diamond 1 but then I got into college

[weak wadi]

I was bronze 3 last season

[hallow scroll]

the climb

[hearty river]

@hallow scroll

[weak wadi]

i grinder

[hallow scroll]

[weak wadi]

i missed the d

now it’s over

[hallow scroll]

grinderd

[weak wadi]

I hope to make it to diamond this act

then maybe mid-high diamond the act after

[coarse crane]

tbh val is awful

csgo >>

they turned val into overwatch you can't play the game w/o 20 abilities restricting you

[weak wadi]

i occasionally play minecraft nonstop for 2 weeks then stop for half a year

I started a stardew valley play through with some friends recently

that’s p fun

[coarse crane]

https://tenor.com/view/overwatch-overwatch-league-gladiators-la-gladiators-los-angeles-gladiators-gif-13487497

this bitch

ruined the entire game 😭

[weak wadi]

briggette actually ruined the game

brigette

however her name goes

[coarse crane]

brig

[weak wadi]

her existence destroyed the game

[hearty river]

yo

[earnest hatch]

no

shoo

[white zinc]

no amazon oa 😣

[hallow scroll]

dw its random and done in waves

some people apply when they open and it takes them months to get the oa and some people get it in a couple days

[sinful locust]

@hearty river

[earnest hatch]

@hearty river

[gleaming tangle]

hey i got a mail from oracle recruiter to schedule a 15min call regarding summer 2023 internship. does this mean i got the interview call ?

[earnest hatch]

That's typically like a behavioral

[sinful locust]

[earnest hatch]

[ivory ocean]

I meant this year, did you do this year?

[gleaming tangle]

does this mean something, what would be the next steps. i already got ghosted by one "15 min chat" so i dont know if i should take this seriously

[white zinc]

nvm just got it 😁

[fickle ivy]

is shittadel OA hard

?

[crisp berry]

for canada?

[hallow scroll]

oh shit nice LOL

[hallow scroll]

yes

I heard competitive programming is common

[fickle ivy]

o fuck

hhow long do i have

to do it

[white zinc]

us

with referral

[stark basin]

it fucked me in the ass

[earnest hatch]

Yeah usually that's like an initial screening interview, the recruiter would tell you about any next steps or you could ask them

[fickle ivy]

oh jesus christo

[earnest hatch]

Ontologist internship is up at Amazon https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/2141794/ontologist-internship-2023-us

Also TIL what ontologist is

[soft basin]

"If this describes you, consider joining us as an intern in the summer of 2022" looks like they copy and pasted

[weak wadi]

had this last year

[ember bison]

bro its the same final

[placid nebula]

sounds kool

[weak wadi]

screening interview, recruiter will ask you to talk about yourself for a bit then talk about the role and ask you some other questions like what languages and frameworks do you know

[ivory ocean]

Oh

[soft basin]

is it normal to look for almost every solution on the dp problems for b75 on the first try?

cuz idt i cant solve these without help rn 😭

[weak wadi]

ye it’s normal

[ivory ocean]

I suck at DP

[soft basin]

this has ruined my mental health to a max

[weak wadi]

as long as you try to learn the underlying algorithm and keep applying it you’ll end up learning

[soft basin]

i just learned house robber and i feel dumbfounded

so 🤷‍♂️

[weak wadi]

don’t know what house robber is

my knowledge is limited to sliding window, bfs and dfs

[stark basin]

house robber is the first DP problem you do
maybe besides stairs

[weak wadi]

and to slap a hashmap at everything

[soft basin]

stairs is just fibonacci

[stark basin]

true

[soft basin]

like i straight up wrote fibonacci on it and got it

[stark basin]

but yeah house robber is like
a stupidly good introduction to DP

[soft basin]

i hate how palindromic substrings is under dp

the optimal isnt even a dp solution

[stark basin]

fuck house robber 2

[soft basin]

buy and sell stocks is barely dp imo

its more of sliding window

[stark basin]

the harder buy and sell stocks is dp I think

[soft basin]

ahhh

[hearty river]

NOODLE

NOOOOOODLE

yo yo yo yo

[soft basin]

i dont have lc premium so i might not have access to some of those problems

[past comet]

got amazon OA, any tips ?

[soft basin]

yes?

[past comet]

I already crossed 600 recently

[soft basin]

oa is more rng than being randomly selected in an airport

which isnt saying much

[stark basin]

I did my amazon interview today and the more I think about my final coding solution the more wrong things I find in it

[soft basin]

was ur problem lc easy or medium?

[stark basin]

yes

[stark basin]

medium for non bruteforce

[soft basin]

oh god

[past comet]

I am dont want to messup my only chance

[stark basin]

no

never saw the problem before

[soft basin]

help out a fellow noodle?

[stark basin]

i'm hoping my ramblings on brute force O(n^2), potential one-pass/two-pass solutions with hashmap, and dogshit binary search implementation with hints, saying the runtime is O(n logm) is enough to pass me

without correct code

no

array question yes

hashmap with binsearch

[soft basin]

fuck

i hate binary search

[stark basin]

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

[quaint bolt]

Anyone know if virtu sponsors?

[soft basin]

lemme rephrase i hate modified binary search

[quaint bolt]

Binary search problems are fun tho

[soft basin]

fucker

i suck the most with them

[tidal wren]

what kinda categories does amazon seem to be asking so far for interns?

[soft basin]

its very random tbh

[quaint bolt]

Rng

Just do b75 and Amazon tagged

[stark basin]

wish I got a graph

could have pulled dijkstra's out of my ass but nooooooooo it had to be bin search

i would have been happy with heap too

who tf is trajan

who tf is tarjan

[proud whale]

another sub 800 codesignal

[stark basin]

trojan

tf is a strongly connected component

[tidal wren]

is there anywhere that I can find amazon tagged for free or should i buy lc premium rn?

is it up to date?

[soft basin]

ik 0 tarjan

bruh theres so many out there

do they automatically expect us to know all of those algos?

[sinful locust]

nah u learn em

[soft basin]

i only know floyd warshall, bellman ford, and dijkstra

[proud whale]

LMFAOOOOO

[sinful locust]

yo

[proud whale]

u had me in the first half

[quaint bolt]

Alt

[stark basin]

I like Kahn's

[proud whale]

wtf is floyd warshall

[stark basin]

Kahn's is chill

[proud whale]

wtf is bellman ford

y'all makin stuff up atp

[quaint bolt]

The newest ford car

[sinful locust]

The Bellman–Ford algorithm is an algorithm that computes shortest paths from a single source vertex to all of the other vertices in a weighted digraph.

[soft basin]

shortest path but can have negative edges

[sinful locust]

oops

bruh

[quaint bolt]

It’s got a V8

[soft basin]

cant have negative cycle tho

[proud whale]

ahh i see

[sinful locust]

audi v8?

good engine

[stark basin]

it's more general dijkstra right

[proud whale]

sheeeesh so what they ask u the specs in the interview?

everything i do is brute force

i am brute force

[quaint bolt]

You’ll do well on karat interviews

[proud whale]

palantir get ready

[soft basin]

yeah its good for negative cycle detection

i forgot how to code it up tho

[proud whale]

a vegetable

[soft basin]

its beena few months

[quaint bolt]

Palantir was ez clap

[placid nebula]

chad wagon

[proud whale]

cause u simped too heavy

i didn't write shit

[quaint bolt]

no u

[ashen portal]

does amazon oa use codesignal or what platform do they use?

[proud whale]

hackerrank

[soft basin]

i think hackerrank

[ashen portal]

alrighty

[proud whale]

fuck codesignal bruh

str8 up

[quaint bolt]

I copy pasted something I wrote 3 years ago back in first-year

[ashen portal]

y tho

[stark basin]

codesignal's aight

[proud whale]

cuz my 1 bad test fucks up multiple applications at a time

[quaint bolt]

I like codesignal tbh, so many companies use it

[proud whale]

ma dude I DO THE BLOCK TRICK

[quaint bolt]

And it’s pretty straightforward to get 800+

[ashen portal]

is there even a difference between these platforms lol

[proud whale]

it's recruiting season already tho

and in between every 14 days

[stark basin]

wtf the only company I applied to that use it is cap one
do they come out later

[proud whale]

i have more than 2 OAs

[quaint bolt]

You just need one 800+ and you’re good for the entire season

[proud whale]

LMFAOOOOOO

[sinful locust]

no

840+

[proud whale]

nah 800+ and u good

[sinful locust]

according to yahkuna

[stark basin]

did that

[ashen portal]

tryin' to revise resume and need help: bold some text or nah?

[sinful locust]

#resume

[ashen portal]

oh, thanks

[proud whale]

predator where u interning

[sinful locust]

Quant probably

Anyway

Code signal sucks, bad way to test candidates when some of it depends on RNG

[gleaming tangle]

oh damn, i will prepare then lol. thanks ! may i personally ping you if i have some queries ?

[sinful locust]

No you may not

[sinful locust]

hi

[sinful locust]

Is this before onsite or is there no onsite

[sinful locust]

True just use the expanding outwards approach

I dont even use DP for that / know how to do it with DP

Oh wait i do know what it is

It’s dp[s][e] = dp[s + 1][e] + dp[s][e - 1] - dp[s + 1][e - 1] + (1 if isPalindrome(dp[s][e]) else 0)

[sinful locust]

Hello

[sinful locust]

i told u ur cracked

Nah i just did it before and remembered it

But yeah im happy to get that question in interview

yo motivate me to work baller

im playing fortnite duos

[stark basin]

what the fuck is that

[sinful locust]

Lmao grind that Fortnite

[stark basin]

[sinful locust]

My eyes are hurting

But have to do these work

[soft basin]

thats 2d tho

[sinful locust]

Uh it’s just counting the number of palindromes from start index to end index using principle inclusion exclusion

[soft basin]

its not even 1d dp

[sinful locust]

How do u do it with 1d

[stark basin]

[sinful locust]

matrix 2d good questions

Don’t think u can do it with 1D array, you need 2D

Start and end indices matter

[soft basin]

yeah youd def need 2d

[sinful locust]

Ok cool i thought i was forgetting something lmao

[soft basin]

which is why outward expansion is prolly the best way

[sinful locust]

Yeah for sure

[soft basin]

dont take my word for it tho

[sinful locust]

No i agree

[soft basin]

i suck horribly at dp

[sinful locust]

Same complexity i think

[soft basin]

im very beginner with lc

[sinful locust]

Both n^2

[simple salmon]

has anyone done the amazon workstyle? if so how is it? any tips? its my first time getting amazon oa

[sinful locust]

DP is cool

[soft basin]

same complexity but better space for outward

[sinful locust]

Agreed

Agreed

There’s also manachers algorithm

I think its a more complicated outward expansion thing

[soft basin]

idt interviewers expect us to know that algo

[sinful locust]

Don’t know Exaclty what it is tho

No def not

Just do the easiest way and should be good

Easiest assuming optimal or close to optimal

[soft basin]

i saw it briefly on the lc solution page

[sinful locust]

Yeah

[soft basin]

i just got to decode ways and i give up

imma work on that tomorrow

[sinful locust]

Oh yeah thats annoying, i need to do that again

[soft basin]

theres 50% dislikes on that one

[sinful locust]

Also some problems are still hard for ppl that do 100+ questions so its not a big deal just work on it for some time and then move on

Yeah for good reason

[sinful locust]

yeah ive done all of lc questions so like 2.1k

it helps a lot

[soft basin]

ive done 95 problems so far and im still beginner

[sinful locust]

wtf

[sinful locust]

Lmaoooo

how

b75 is enough

if used properly

ur doing something wrong

Bruh

[soft basin]

i didnt do it properly before

[sinful locust]

Hes not

he is

No

you need to target shit in order

B75 isn’t enough imo

[soft basin]

i started properly like after i found out b75

[sinful locust]

it is

if you use it properly

[soft basin]

which was like abt a month ago

[sinful locust]

Sure “use properly”

[soft basin]

no need for da name calling dawg

everyone has diff way of learning

[sinful locust]

We’re chil its fine

But yea

Also

B75 DP is like meh

Same with array

[soft basin]

im gonna go into neetcode 150 after

[sinful locust]

im not name calling bruh

I just didnt retain patterns as much with b75

[ocean relic]

grind 165 🥹

[sinful locust]

^

grind 169

is good

Grokking helped me a lot more

honestly

Grind 75 is better than b 75 i hear

[soft basin]

i have some of the grokking html

[ocean relic]

do grind and review and you’re set

[sinful locust]

Imma do grind 75

[sinful locust]

Yeah

[soft basin]

all ik is i cant afford to pay it

[sinful locust]

do 169

Yeah 169

[ocean relic]

169 or u suck

[sinful locust]

I’m not skipping stuff

[soft basin]

im gonna see what i can do on grind 75 now

[sinful locust]

August is blind 169 time

[ocean relic]

4 weeks 40 hours a week or you’re fired

[sinful locust]

I’m finishing grokking before aug

Then aug is grind 169 and apply mass

😈 we just starting boisssss

[sinful locust]

Fire me

The options course looks cool 😭

[ocean relic]

Nah bruh

You’re not even guaranteed final round after that

“Top performers” move on my ass

Just give me my stupid OA

[sinful locust]

What’s ur zetamac

@hearty river do zetamac tell me what you get

[desert plume]

When did you apply

[simple salmon]

7/1

just got it an hour ago

[soft basin]

question: would you work overtime for this project? answer: yes (not really)

[simple salmon]

Wasn’t planning on being honest 😂. Thanks, is it usually straightforward or are there lots of iffy ones?

Ok sounds good, thanks a lot

Amapzn 🥰

[ocean relic]

Varies heavily depending on my mood

Anywhere from 50-69(nice)

angrier = higher

[sinful locust]

Pretty good!

I’m like [47 - 57]

Typing bottleneck

[coarse crane]

is this good enough for jane st

[remote tartan]

For internships, do I have to apply to both citadel and citadel securities, and would this be two different tracks for interviews and all?

[ocean relic]

Ngl after I started practicing Optiver 80in8 my score average went up a ton for zetamac

Ig Optiver forced me to learn tricks

[earnest hatch]

No, just one and they consider you for both companies

[remote tartan]

Thank you for the response 🙏 I applied to citadel securities and did the OA, and applied to citadel and I got the usual email. Guessing they won’t give the OA again right 😂

[midnight sonnet]

What apps open up yet?

[earnest hatch]

Amazon

[sinful locust]

amazon

[hallow scroll]

amazon

[past comet]

Leverage resources as need. During the OA, you may use publicly accessible online resources Java Developer Kit and/or the Standard Template Library.

Does that mean I can use google ?

[hallow scroll]

this is for amazon oa

right

[past comet]

yes sir

[hallow scroll]

they let you look up general syntax yeah

but they do monitor it and warn you when you do it so

[past comet]

Oh thats great, that mean they track tab history ?

[past comet]

Okie, its better to not switch tabs then

[hallow scroll]

I think so

as long as its general syntax thats fine

[past comet]

gotcha!

[tawny nimbus]

did u guys apply to apple and get an invitation to speak with hiring manager for apple retail position?

[sinful locust]

LOL wtf 😭

[tawny nimbus]

should i still go

get the manager to like me

then let them know i applied for swe

i applied for swe lol

i double checked and everythin

and my apple profile only shows swe app

[sinful locust]

Can I negotiate

Intern salary or no

It’s just set 53/hr?

I see I see

[tawny nimbus]

u can't negotiate intern salary

i dont think

also what'd u get on cap1 codesignal?

[sinful locust]

817

[tawny nimbus]

o sick

i goofed on it so i dont think im gonna get interview

[sinful locust]

But I know ppl who score 706 and get it

[tawny nimbus]

wait huhh

rly?

i didn't goof that hard

how long did it take for u to get an interview btw

[sinful locust]

They don’t gaf ab codesignal

As long as it’s above 700 it’s a resume screen

[tawny nimbus]

oh

[sinful locust]

Like two weeks

[tawny nimbus]

thats good then

bet bet

i did my codesignal on friday

[sinful locust]

Gl brotha

[tawny nimbus]

ty ty

did u alr get offer?

[sinful locust]

No no I was just wondering

[tawny nimbus]

ahh ok

gl 2 u too then

[clever sentinel]

Lot of people have gotten that offer from cap1 eh?

How was the code signal OA?

Also, has anyone taken the internship before?

[past comet]

whats the interview process looks like for Amazon SDE intern OA -> Final or OA -> Phone -> Final ?

[sinful locust]

i think just OA then final

[ivory ocean]

I had all

I don’t think optimal tho

Not rlly sure

[topaz gale]

Has anyone completed Akuna C++ SWE OA?

[past comet]

Is amazon workstyle assessment like selecting likely, most likely etc stuff or will it be something like simulation where you get email what would be the best option something like that ?

[soft basin]

how many questions are on the amazon oa

2?

[hallow scroll]

The simulation isn’t part of the oa this time

It’s selecting most likely

[hallow scroll]

2

70 mins

[soft basin]

kk

imma grind some more greedy and intervals for this oa

[past comet]

Thanks!

[tawny nimbus]

when does microsoft open for 2023 summer?

[soft basin]

is netflix hiring interns this yr?

[sinful locust]

do u not follow their stick

stock

they’re not even hiring fulltimers

[steady crow]

Lol what

[soft basin]

i don’t follow stocks lol

[trim vigil]

does that mean meta isnt hiring interns for summer 23 cuz they froze for everything except E6 +

[soft basin]

a recruiter told me they start in august

late august

just that good of a wlb

[slow quarry]

he lost meta RO will prolly lose twitter by muskie and is now down bad

[devout jewel]

Musk isn’t buying twitter tho

I just want the G and that’s all

plz I wanna leave apple for free food

We appreciate that you’ve invested your time to apply for the Junior Developer - Data Tooling role in our Chicago office. However, at this time we are unable to sponsor the appropriate visa classification for your employment in this position.

[past comet]

[elfin peak]

Similar rejection emails

[elfin peak]

Oooo

Well that could be why

Lol

[past comet]

Mr Wagons is from Canada right ?

[elfin peak]

Basically what happened is like

Recruiter reached out to me

Asked for my info on citizenship, country of birth, etc

Then reject lol

[elfin peak]

If that's true, it might be because I am not a Canadian either :'))))

[past comet]

the only options are C, Cpp, C# and java

🤡

[hot grove]

C

🐐

[honest locust]

also for java it's java 7

[ashen portal]

what platform is this

[feral charm]

is optiver oa auto?

[honest locust]

hackerrank

[ashen portal]

weird, they probs specifically requested java 7 cause I see no reason why hackerrank would run that version in 2022

[honest locust]

it's a custom ui'ed hackerrank

actually on q2 you can use java 8

or java 7

[sinful locust]

Wait java 7 wtf

So no like lambdas or anything?

[honest locust]

i have no idea what's in java 7 and 8 compared to now

What should I do ?

[honest locust]

oh c++ is c++ 11

[past comet]

Passport should be fine ?

Oki

[ember bison]

[hidden gust]

11 is more than sufficient for most people

idk why jdk7😂

[hidden gust]

both recruiters who sent me phone screen emails are interns. lol

[ember bison]

why is this so different

is quant dev intern same pay as swe?

i c i c

[quaint bolt]

Swe can be negotiated up to like 80

[ember bison]

[quaint bolt]

Yeah that’s a later issue

[long slate]

[coarse marten]

[coarse marten]

Yes

[tardy ridge]

[tawdry frigate]

very true

my presentation is over 15 min

[coarse marten]

February

[tawdry frigate]

but yolo

what’re they gonna do

[tardy ridge]

oh wtf actually?

[tawdry frigate]

[tardy ridge]

wait are you trolling, i cant even tell lol

[sinful locust]

De Shaw’s quant role for summer 2023 is still open though

[tardy ridge]

citi and morgan stanley's are as well

i applied to their SWE, and saw quant there too

pretty sure its early for 2023 swe right for those companies*

[hallow scroll]

3 hours

[sinful locust]

What exactly do quants do?

[tardy ridge]

idk but you get paid a lot lmao

im retarded, im just applying for fun

[sinful locust]

Lmao. Heard the interviews are usually very tough

[tardy ridge]

yeah im hoping i get something for 2023

a swe internship

seems like its gonna be alot harder tho

[coarse marten]

It seems yes

[sinful locust]

Definitely! De Shaw rejected just in the first stage 😂💔

For an swe role

[hallow scroll]

Hopefully I get to finish summer 23 recruiting today

[coarse marten]

After oa?

[tardy ridge]

through OA? or first round interview?

[sinful locust]

First round

[hallow scroll]

Gl

[tardy ridge]

thats insane that you even got to that round tho tbh

[coarse marten]

C++ trivia?

Or lc style

[sinful locust]

No. System design + technical + behavioral

[hallow scroll]

Mr bog shouldn’t you be in new grad channel now

[sinful locust]

No lc for the video interview, I guess. Or maybe it was just my interviewer

[coarse marten]

And you said 1 round

[long slate]

Anyone get powerday

For c1

[sinful locust]

All of that in one round man

[hallow scroll]

That’s rough

[tardy ridge]

has anyone taken the morgan stanley hirevues?

[coarse marten]

How long?

[hallow scroll]

60 mins?

[tardy ridge]

how are those

[sinful locust]

45 mins.

[hallow scroll]

Wtf

De shaw on crack

[coarse marten]

Was the technical hard?

[sinful locust]

Yeeees!

[sinful locust]

Not really. He just asked questions on how web works and a design leetcode code execution engine type of question. I’m trying not to be direct, lol

[coarse marten]

No worries

Oh so you got something like LLD

Low level design

[sinful locust]

Yes. Though he did ask some follow up questions, as you’d expect, which led to more technical discussion.

Overall, it was a very good experience, just disappointed I didn’t qualify for the next round, lol

systems technologist intern

You have other offers already?

No

I heard back from them 7 days after the interview

maybe they are delaying getting back to those that qualified 🙂

I think you should follow up

[stark basin]

what role

[solar axle]

did they ask OS questions

[harsh jackal]

8:30 pst

Applied on Jul 23 and got reject on 26th morning 😶

[clever grail]

bruh

[hidden gust]

depending on roles. it was quite simple

some basic OOP design

idk. ik it was OOP for c++ and quant dev roles

you can check glassdoor

[sinful locust]

Does two sigma swe do codesignal, if so what is a good score?

[hallow scroll]

they do

Probably like 830

[sinful locust]

will 824 cut it

if i leverage other final rounds

Oh actually?

damn

[sinful locust]

No, I wasn’t asked any OS question

[ember bison]

lets get this two sigma bread

my highest codesig has been 830

https://tenor.com/view/goku-ssj-trasformazione-ssj3-gif-19246102

[sinful locust]

840+ rip

I got no shot in interviews then

[ember bison]

try cold emailing a recruiter and maybe u can skip codesig

[sinful locust]

lol thats a thing?

[ember bison]

dunno a lot of companies let u skip OA if a recruiter likes u

[sinful locust]

probably helps if you have other interviews to leverage

idk

2sig > js

jk

[ember bison]

wlb

[sinful locust]

is it bad wlb or more like bad growth in career?

[ember bison]

bad career growth at two sigma

but spending 2-3 years there sounds nice 👀

raking in fat cash without overworking urself

[sinful locust]

yea ig

and hop to better quants after

[ember bison]

yea

like

[sinful locust]

or even tech

[ember bison]

if google is ur goal why not grind for two sigma

[sinful locust]

yeah two sig to faang seems solid

[solar axle]

can someone give me two sigma referral I got nice codesignal lol

[ember bison]

this guy is my inspiration

https://www.teamblind.com/post/4-YOE-8-Offers-FANGM-HFT-Unicorns-525k-TC-bgBWtXBc

[ember bison]

[hallow scroll]

[sinful locust]
