yea
anybody able to help explain it?

yes its O(n)
who is greedy?
jeff
microsoft>>amazon
How does greedy even work in that question
no shit same here
Do you have software engineering or application development experience? If so, how many years of experience (excluding internships)? Note that this is not required to be considered for this role.
why does this say excluding internships lmfao
ok but like
microsoft hasn't open their application yet and I would be very relieved to at least have A internship for next summer

exactly i just want an internship for next summer
hopefully a good company that could give a return offer
do i include internships
bruh
in what world would i exclude internships
you start from the end
take steps towards the beginning
if the number at that square is bigger than the steps you took, that means you can jump to the goal from there
so just make that your new goal, and continue down
if goal is set to index 0 at the end, then it's possible
ngl behavioral is harder than leetcode
someone girl got an microsoft intern 2023 offer from some program for girls and she is well sorted for 1 year
5L 1W 
L
yeah i see how that is the solution
D:
however i dont see how i can apply it to other greedy problems 😭
@coarse marten
i feel like
most of the time you either know the greedy solution or you don't
you might know it's a greedy problem though, cause you feel like you can get to the correct answer by taking the optimal step each time
but what's the optimal step

bruhhh i hate greedy so fuckin much
like container with most water
I don't think I could ever figure out that that was greedy
i thought that was window
greedy is very vague
the first 3 interviews, I didn't put my incoming internships on my resume + my introduction was too heavy (bless you @wheat void)
I declined a team tho
cuz it was based in Poland 
oh
what company
G
bruh
just take it
tf
wait
3k/m
3 thousand per month?
thats so low
tf
i think explore interns make more money
non-US software engineering jobs moment you mean

i will visit EU one day
no, it's just well known G east europe pays shit
Luxembourg might give you a run for your money
unless taxes stupid high
slack hourly fat
can i apply to zurich as a full bred american
oh zurich is one of the better ones right?
my internship pay keeps rising 
What's slack hourly
drop the hourly 👀
54 + 9k housing
W
i don't think it's 40% for 100k, that's more like 200k
u deserve it
with the dollar appreciation, prob not

in bay?
yeah, sf rent gonna eat it up tho lol
9k housing ???
yeah
oh it's San Fran
yeah then it will be spent

worse baseball team
yeah total not a month lol
only 
move to oakland
yeah sf rent is rough
too far
💀
yeah
i walk 15 min to work
bro I'm an angels fan, we've had a 14 game losing streak, and I can't remember the last time we won two games in a row, and somehow for some ungodly reason Oakland A's still have a worse record than us
wtf

oakland as fell off
oakland hella far from market
bro
now just gotta pass asana or amazon winter and I can retire 
big W tho congrats
their fans fell off too
no one goes to their games anymore
and I kind of don't blame them
Would you take asana over fAANG?
you have google, the one that got away from me 
Jane Street already rejected me
DE shaw pays more than TS i hear

if it came down to amazon vs asana I would take asana
amazon is nice for sure
, G overrated
amazon 375 2yoe
i need to apply soon
i've only applied to 3 companies so far
hopefully wont need a lot more
i'll be happy with an overrated company
is akuna one of them
that doesnt count

nope
apple cap1 and uh
lol
you'll get jump new grad tho dw
jump wlb :cringe:
wait apple retail
like
those mtfks in the apple stores?
yes
bro i applied for swe
my profile only shows swe
but i got phone interview with apple retail
???
I thought you just needed like
have owned 3 iPhones or something
JULIO
Are Amazon OA questions this year similar to last years?
has anyone taken palantir karat interview
if so, did u get asked questions from this list
ill lyk tmrw
my interview is tonight too 😦
i gotchu
i had something similar to the subdomain visit count as the first q for my karat, not sure if the other ones are on there
id say easyish mediums, they were like long paragraphs so harder to figure out what they want than to actually implement it
hmmm ok sounds good
@hallow scroll are u at work righ tnow
Docusign
are u working rn
what is a karat interview? I thought it was just a general coding platform but have heard you got to record your reasoning and implementation?
Yeah
Kinda
I’m at dinner with my friends but on the clock 
basically karat is a company that has their own engineers which interview you and im guessing your interview is recorded and sent to whichever company hired karat to conduct your interview
so you don't actually code during the interview?
no u do, its a technical interview
hmm do you have to speak at all?
read somewhere you got to explain time complexity for given code
gotcha thanks for clarification!
ye np
and ty
ayo me too pls
gonna use the list incase
yo can u stop
alr alr
Yahkunafdddrfggyyghygydrfrfefttgggggfrftffggtftrrfr by g
@proud whale Did Slack reach out to you to schedule a call yet?
anyone know what Seven Eight Capital does?
I just got an email from them for summer

They're doing it on a rolling basis so don't count yourself out yet! 
yeah recruiter responded today to one of my emails and send dw lmk if you haven't heard back by end of the week
yea thats what I read but I couldn't find anything about there internship program

New York, Boston, Stamford
Yea i think they school selective
Like 5Rings
@sinful locust Does 5R blacklist
They pay lot
unsure
lol
umbc target school
can u stop
i wil sho
@hearty river
@hearty river how do u not have amazon internship as ceo of yahkunazon
He's too overqualified for Amazon
@earnest hatch GOT THE EMAIL
Yay, congrats!!! 
Two Sigma Codesignal isn't auto right
for what 👀
told you bro
has their swe intern application link come out?
Yes
yup
yes
Check process for link
alr bet
Slack
lfg
slack gang
LETS GOOO
@proud whale did they tell you when we're getting written offer letter
congrats on the offer
Congrats dawg
Nope i'm out of town tmrw so i scheduled my call on Thursday but i bet we'll get it soon
i'll ask them in the call
THANKS GUYS

icic nice
also @proud whale did you hear back after amazon oa
I think mark is in process w Meraki?
not yet bruh we took last night
Not sure , mark confirm
i am in meraki process @wise ferry
LOL yeah just asking, amazon is hella fast sometimes
LOL i'll def lyk
How was it
hows citadel oa?
Amazon OA was ezpz
fucked up
fuck
just answer overtime for everything 
That’s good
i finished in like 20 min
I’m hoping that faang OA’s are not as tough as like akuna quant dev oa
Bruh that was -_-
how do i answer the workstyle questions i havent had an internship before?
i have akuna front running detector or some shit to do
like on a final round
Oh yeah do that
It’s OOP design, just make sure you have good implementation and clear code and should be fine
Slack's offer is nice though - i might just take
python trivia sounds kinda ass ngl
I accepted in the call lol
It’s easy
doesn't have to be work
they're not gonna ask you "what did you do when you and your coworkers had a project messup" or some shit
it's gonna be
"What did you do when you were under a close deadline"
My interviewer was great
join me in sf 🤝
LMAO
oh god
imma have to bullshit some answers
You done with 2023 recruiting now, or are you planning to renege later?
I fucking
prepared like
10 anecdotes for questions
and none of the questions that motherfucker asked me could work with my anecdotes
so I had to pull stories out of my ASS
on linkedin idt issa big deal - but on resume it fs helps
i gathered my team and worked with them until our final product worked
im done for summer, but still recruiting for winter 23
that 61st floor tho
what was the question? 👀
fr
DONE FOR SUMMER 
the deadline one
and then
literally
"Tell me about a time when you help your peers when it wasn't your job. What was the problem and what made you want to help them"
like
if linkedin wont let you just add a random date and put the proper start dates in the description
i can't help people without having a good reason anymore???
@modern sable added Incoming for Google new grad and got Twitch SDEII(?) interview 
what made me want to help them was that i wanted to complete our project on time 
ive actually had that issue once
summer recruiting there's a lot so idk i def think i would have other offers
can I have some of that confidence
in Palantir & Amazon process fwiw
u easily gonna have it
sheesh goat
out of those might prefer Slack for ng the most tho
what conference did u guys go for the slack interview?
Futureforce Tech Equality Summit
noice
lyft winter 23' or fall 23' 
lyft opens apps in aug for all 23', bagging fall 23' early would be the most cracked shit ever lol
pog is it OA then final?
OA --> 3 day in person summit --> on sites final day
you too 
it wasn't even actually on sit
site*
i was on site but my interviewer was zoom
LMAO
lMAO
?????????????????
right
interesting
The internship is in SF office though right
yeah
yup - in person internship + remote option for full time is also a super dope combo
rising soph
might grad a yr early tho - TBD
LOL resume says rising junior
sneaky sneaky
bro i did that too and futureforce summit aint take me either
yeah, my expected grad date w/ uni is 2024 and on resume, but i'm a 1st year so i might ride the 4 years and grad 2025
is LP for amazon in OA1 or OA2
no OA2 this szn
next year 
damn
LP is right after the coding portion

gg
have fun
Slack > Palantir bc i live in LA and i don't wanna move - slack ~170-180k comp living @ home vs Palantir ~230k comp w/ COL --> same shit
- my hopes aren't really high for palantir
but new grad my options r limited to LA or remote
palantir might be interesting for the intern experience tho
their forward deployed role is hella cool
slack = helping ppl communicate
palantir = preventing families from communicating
/s
do yall know if forward deployed interns actually travel and shit
ive read on reddit that some do
slack didnt yet
only can apply if u went to summit
yeah
futureforce tech equality summit salesforce wide
they also have grace hopper conference apps open
checkout my companies new medium article LOL check pm
you posted it on Linkedin I saw LMAOO
LMAOOOOOO
bruh they posted it on ig too
nope
ah gotcha tyty
hello who give me ping

yo
hello 
how is everyone doing
Is it releasing 8:30
What company
pls recession don't hit the companies too hard 
fed hike is also
coming tmrw
i think we are set for another 75bp?
hopefully not 100
100 would be really ba
bad
We should just start spending money to curve recession
everyone should start spending money to curve recession except for me
what?
what?
what?
I mean would applying really help I feel like only thing would be an offer
what?
@gentle latch spend tc
But even offers aren’t guaranteed
what?
what?
fed interest rate hike
Bro why are they hiking the interest rates, ye they are preventing inflation but a recession is worse
Also a lot of tech companies didn’t hit their estimates
Like google and Microsoft were short a couple hundred million
what?
hoping amazon pip system bad enough that they have to keep hiring people during recession 
WTF IS GOING ON

at least they are price hiking prime in europe
by 43%

im willing to take a 200% increase in my amazon prime membership
If amazon stops hiring then it’s gonna be chaos
this industry is doomed if amazon stops hiring
the tech industry would take a big hit
we would all have to move to virginia
Has anyone heard back from amazon after completing final?
how was ur guys final
did u make sure to include that you'd sacrifice ur first born for the customer
make sure to work overtime when behind
amzn is cool - reading the LP principles was cringe af tho
yep i dont necessarily agree with them
uh
i think I did all right on the behavioral part
the coding part was sus
i gave the brute force and the time complexity of that
then I tried to do a one-pass solution that I thought works but got stuck a bit
then he told me to do it another way, i did, and then halfway through he told me to try binary search and I did
i gave some time complexities, and I ended up on some retrospectively thinking very WRONG code
so I am worried
hope u get it 
did they specify the term?
i know when i applied theyh asked us to rank winter summer fall
they have locations all over the US, but HQ in VA is very nice, there is a rooftop mini golf
oh jeez lol kk
yeah
they asked for an interview time
I gave it and they replied less than 24 hours later with the chime link
yeah amazon can be hella slow or hella fast after oa
amazon is the definition of rng
whats the most amt of time they give for completing final?
last year I heard back like 4 hours after even tho I took the oa at midnight lol
is purdue goated for quant
heard of people going months
id go like 1 month
i've seen basically nothing but good intern reviews from cap 1
cap 1 is pretty chill, at least for interns
anyone done amazon final yet?
Amazon will stop hiring when gta 6 comes out
Amazon stops hiring when TES 6 comes out

we'll see tomorrow then
i interviewed yesterday morning
9am PST
I should have went sometime later
I couldn't sleep well that night my brain was rattled in the interview
don't say that

You can only use this command in 2022_winter_intern_process, 2022_summer_intern_process, 2022_grad_process, 2022_fall_intern_process, 2023_summer_intern_process
well
he didn't fuck me over
it sounded like he wanted me to put in the right stuff in the coding part
gl
i got a question I've never seen in my life
fuck me
do you think they'll look at the final code correctness and shit

yeah my logic was good
Fr
well
after the brute force I was going for a one-pass that I thought worked
almost through it, I noticed and said that the current solution won't work with duplicates
then he told me to try another thing and halfway through he told me to use it with bin search
#StopAsianHate
Nah
well no I think I got and explained how it would work after the hints
but the final code for the bin search was pretty messed up iirc
he told me to add a condition check before the bin search, I did, and he said all right that's good
and after the interview I went to get jersey mikes and I thought about the condition and realized it was completely wrong

well my parents are from china
I'm from Taiwan
what question is that?
is that a joke or not lol I forgot
okay ty
is the bot more accurate for internships
was final lc med?
do they ask behavioral first or leetcode
guess everything depends on interviewer
how long until after i send my available times will i get final time confirmed?
oh wait i was thinkin of coderpad
damn drawing acutally helps so fuckin much
just for any for me
esp with array questions
sometimes linkedlist
inflation doesnt matter to rich people
i.e. cs majors
5Head
.
nah it doesnt really affect the rich
cant argue with 5Head logic
inflation is a lie
impact != matter
yes
bc like
inflation is better for our economy, that's how it grows
cringe
defaltion is best
kinda?
thats very oversimplified
yes
source: im an econ major just trust me bro
if we r worried about inflation why tf r we hiking interest rates then
the economy is a basketball if u inflate it then it gets better
more money flow --> value means less
Does doing GCA trick auto replace older codesignal
or will it keep both scores and you can choose which to send
There is a goldilocks level of interest rates is the general view
just increase tc u solved inflation
Stock go brrrrr
My first one as new grad was like 770 then i got 820 or so
pretty much lmfao
Nice
Has anyone who was not in the summit heard back from Salesforce?
I applied with referral but other than getting the different app, no
ghosted so far
I never did all 4 codesigs. I can say even 770 will pass u btw if they want u
It’s like dating. Just dont be ugly
U dont have to be handsome
i will leverage salesforce in august
Ok but if u say leverage IRL in interview i will fire u
Sorry
Sadge
inflation rates go brr please
im just listening to cnbc on that hopium
sometimes the lc level isn’t accurate
some greedy's that there's little to no chance you can come up with on your own are LC hard
but once you know it's easy
yeah that could be too
I struggle to fall asleep before interviews
once it's over I'm a shitbag with no motivation to do anything until I get the result
but at least I sleep well during it
it's like for me
before I do the interview, I think of all the things I might not have finish preparing yet, and I get anxious thinking whether I should keep preparing or think up answers or shit
once it's done, I know I can't change shit about the result anymore
I like trie
favorite data structure
union find

i like path compression
I think it's because I've only done it a couple of times so I can't just bust it out like boilerplate code like I can for trie
median of stream is fun once you know how to do it
you know what's not fun even if you've done it a hundred times
median of two sorted lists
fucked that problem
LC hard problems that uses bin search should be banned
I prayed for no bin search in my interview and god forsook me
bin search isnt bad tho
how long does codesignal scores last after you get a good one
lol
When did you apply to amazon
the hardest things abt codesignal problems are their absolutely awful input formats
what are the best cities to apply to outside of northern virginia for software engineer internships
"given this array of integers, given as strings, and sub arrays of integers that are not strings, ..."
applied everywhere
only autorejected from Jane Street, Intel, and Citadel so far
okay
intel rejected me before i even got an oa
same
any good companies in san francisco?
intel hates noodle

im trying to intern at some of the bigger tech companies there
tbf my stuff was mostly web dev and just a little bit of AI
okay
san francisco has a ton of shit
Intel has the quickest rejections, appreciate that about them 
okay lol
apply to everything
i applied to everything that didn't make me write a personal essay
they gave me college application PTSD
these are the easiest scores though
my anxiety rises daily as i approach the last day of completing my amazon oa
i avoid the essay places too

dawg those essays are so spammable with a crazy high %
If you're crunched for time you can email them and request an extension, but I'd do it ASAP
i started leetcode a bit too late
you'll probably be just fine
i’m not gonna extend
me
it’ll be worth it still
^^ me
it’s better being over prepared than underprepared
true but I just yolo shit sometimes when I don't want it weighing on my mind
worked out for Amazon
not so much for Citadel
my focus has been shifted to leetcode rather than school 
i’m gonna be a junior this yr
also for non fang companies, how much should i leetcode prep?
so just a bunch of shit electives
non fang companies that are fortune 500
i’m takin bioinformatics
Noodle when you gonna take the Amazon OA?
Yeah imma take it on friday after work
prep in general before you get coding interviews
once you do, then look up some of those tagged companies
same actually
not an intern
part-time at my uni as a web dev
i work as a tutor at codeninjas
You interning remote predator?
more of a babysitter but yeah
random question but are all the slack offers coming from the grace hopper event thing?
how y'all know these events 
maybe I'm just out of the loop
what should i do to motivate myself to learn some new technology/framework everyday?
you don't need to
learn one or two well
yeah exactly
i see
react and node
just learn one front end framework and one back end one
I second React + Node
theyre all the same lol
goated
i hate angular
like i feel like i pressuring myself to be a jack of all trades
Nah learn spring boot
why
no such thing as a jack of all trades in tech
there's too many trades
the closest is a full-stack engineer
ok lol
He’s right tbh
i guess i just have to figure out what I like and stik to it
time to learn carbon
i would also look at what the market uses
I tried learning Go and I didn't like it
Because that means more opportunities

C is fun
Python
zzz most top tech companies dont care about language
how about python for backend
nah even for FT
Language matters for full time or senior positions
is that valuable, like flask
sometimes python is used for backend
bro a big tech company has positions for a lot of different languages
gotcha
ive heard next js is the newest one
ur not making any sense bro
Next js is a nice front end framework, honestly recommend typescript too
It’s becoming industry standard over just JavaScript
at google, do u think an L3 fortran dev would make less than an L3 python dev? no its the same LMFAO
Front end is ass but typescript makes it easier
i should learn typescript
i think front end is one of those things where you justr have to do a lot of youtube and copy paste
yeah typescript is just a superset of js
typescript is super hard at first but gets much better afterwards
languages don't matter because you can learn it rly quickly. my team at fb is switching from python to rust. no one on my team knows rust. they dont care
the way they pass info around feels a lot better than just attaching shit to every component
missed the point
Switching is easy if you’re like going from one JavaScript frame work to another
@queen plover u look like a unicorn
is it hard to have a work-life balance as a FANG intern? how do you guys (if you interned at FANG) adjust to that type of environment
but yeah, you can pick up languages rly easily if you know the underlying concepts
@queen plover u look like a unicorn
its easy
depends on the company or team
u work under 40 hours typically
Depends on your team too
think it depends on the team
i see
like msft has a great wlb
you could get a messed up team at Google or a chill team at Amazon
Which is why I’m aiming for msft
heard microsoft is generally chill though
it doesnt matter what product is being done. infra knowledge is infra knowledge.
Yeah like API calls are gonna be made the same way regardless of languages
like languages are just tools.
I’ve done back end both in mode and in Java and it was easy to translate concept
thats why microservices are highly used
The trick is to cater your resume for the position
And honestly exaggerate a bit lol
Hmm you can make it pretty fast with java
maybe recruiters at mid companies lol
If you use the right library it becomes no different than node
big tech looks for exp in general
I’m using Java for back end rn for my internship

java has strict typing
i'm using typescript and python
dude at fb. my project uses python, hack, react, javascript, sql, html, graphql and css. they never asked me if i knew those. they were just like "do it within X weeks"
It’s pretty disgusting yeah but it good for multi threading
me coding in pyscript
lol same tech stack
its not fun bro 😭
i feel u bro
Yeah its only useful for big companies
A startup doesn’t work with that scale of data
the first thing i checked when i got access to the codebase was the redux folder
and i knew this internship will be hard
bro idek what redux is 😭
redux is nice
yeah node is getting better at it but spring boot is becoming fully reactive now
Frontend L
Frontend L
let me rephrase
I hate front-end
but when push comes to shove
i can accept using redux when doing frontend
Bootstrap react >>
Jams asks: backend
If you do or like frontend don’t talk to me.
Backend pog
what if full stack
Acceptable
Component based front end libraries change the game
my frontend experience consists of my manager telling me
"yeah so they don't like this column here can you move it. Also they want this entirely new feature that was in no way planned to be implemented when the page was written, but they think it's just an easy add"
damn that sounds boring af
SIMP ROLE WHEN
I’m trying to switch from full stack to C/C++ but it’s hard because not as many roles
tbf I only have to work when my manager hands me work and I get paid regardless so I'm chill with it
My goal was always to be SE but fate has pointed me towards web dev

Web dev is just easier to get since it’s so in demand
there are tons of c/c++ roles
well
less CSS styling
less Bootstrap
less SQL queries and _GET _POST variables
More just programming
Jams asks: C++ good?
How many jobs are there for autonomous driving?
I forgot php was a thing
I hate PHP
but our school's sites uses basically pure PHP with not even javascript so
static websites go brrr
For C++?
The most cracked profs always have sites that are the simplest
Does he even have a site
yeah and it's not the worst
but it still looks like a page from 18 years ago


man's tc is going to be through the roof
🧢
aren’t u a sophomore too?
man's going to have 1 million dollar tc new grad

i’m a junior and i haven’t even secured my first internship 😫
you got it bro 
google still ghost me 
i’ve applied to most of the github ones
imaooo 
i posted at the wrong time and the algorithm fucked me
should have posted sunday morning
draco’s what do i need to do
most of the times they start actually interviewing people in like august/september
u got js phone?
yeah
trader or swe
swe
@slow quarry should i shitpost on r/csmajors
