How does greedy even work in that question

green crown
tawny nimbus
#

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

stark basin
#

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

soft basin
#

exactly i just want an internship for next summer

#

hopefully a good company that could give a return offer

green crown
#

sammmeeee

#

wanna get that summer sorted

tawny nimbus
#

bruh

#

in what world would i exclude internships

stark basin
# sinful locust How does greedy even work in that question

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

tawny nimbus
#

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

@coarse marten

coarse marten
stark basin
#

but what's the optimal step

soft basin
#

bruhhh i hate greedy so fuckin much

stark basin
#

like container with most water
I don't think I could ever figure out that that was greedy

soft basin
#

i thought that was window

tawny nimbus
soft basin
#

greedy is very vague

coarse marten
#

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

tawny nimbus
#

#

stark basin
coarse marten
#
  • housing stipend

That’s good

proud whale

sinful locust

I’m hoping that faang OA’s are not as tough as like akuna quant dev oa

#

Bruh that was -_-

soft basin

how do i answer the workstyle questions i havent had an internship before?

proud whale
#

i have akuna front running detector or some shit to do

soft basin
#

like on a final round

sinful locust
#

Oh yeah do that

#

It’s OOP design, just make sure you have good implementation and clear code and should be fine

proud whale
#

cool cool

#

dunno what the rest of their process is like

sinful locust
#

Only 1 weird af test case

#

1 phone then final

proud whale
#

Slack's offer is nice though - i might just take

sinful locust
#

Phone is python trivia

#

Final is LC + OOP i think?

proud whale
#

python trivia sounds kinda ass ngl

hallow scroll

It’s easy

proud whale
#

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

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

brisk halo
#

slack = helping ppl communicate
palantir = preventing families from communicating
/s

white zinc
#

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

at least they are price hiking prime in europe

im willing to take a 200% increase in my amazon prime membership

queen plover

If amazon stops hiring then it’s gonna be chaos

honest spire

this industry is doomed if amazon stops hiring

the tech industry would take a big hit

Has anyone heard back from amazon after completing final?

stark basin
#

it's been two days

#

they said 5 business days

proud whale
#

how was ur guys final

#

did u make sure to include that you'd sacrifice ur first born for the customer

soft basin
#

make sure to work overtime when behind

proud whale
#

amzn is cool - reading the LP principles was cringe af tho

soft basin
#

yep i dont necessarily agree with them

stark basin
#

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

proud whale
#

hope u get it prayge

#

did they specify the term?

#

i know when i applied theyh asked us to rank winter summer fall

spare crest
proud whale
#

like

#

3 weeks

proud whale
#

oh jeez lol kk

stark basin
#

yeah

#

they asked for an interview time
I gave it and they replied less than 24 hours later with the chime link

hallow scroll
#

yeah amazon can be hella slow or hella fast after oa

proud whale
#

amazon is the definition of rng

soft basin

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

stark basin
#

yeah my logic was good

willow canopy
#

Fr

stark basin
#

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

honest spire
#

#StopAsianHate

willow canopy
#

Nah

stark basin
#

let me introduce you to

soft basin
#

what kinda asian

#

im asian too

#

im chinese

stark basin
#

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

soft basin
#

well my parents are from china

stark basin

I'm from Taiwan

soft basin
#

#

im p sure on notepad theres an option to draw

midnight grove
#

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?

soft basin
#

oh wait i was thinkin of coderpad

#

damn drawing acutally helps so fuckin much

#

just for any for me

inflation matters to everyone

or at least it should

fickle ivy
soft basin
#

nah it doesnt really affect the rich

fickle ivy

cant argue with 5Head logic

honest spire
sinful locust
#

impact != matter

fickle ivy
#

yeah

#

it might not impact you

#

but it def matters

sinful locust
#

yes

fickle ivy
#

bc like

honest spire
#

inflation is better for our economy, that's how it grows

fickle ivy
#

investments

#

bank savings

#

etc etc

sinful locust
#

defaltion is best

sinful locust
#

thats very oversimplified

fickle ivy
#

not exactly

#

its the other way around

#

growing economy -> inflation

#

yes

fickle ivy
#

source: im an econ major just trust me bro

honest spire
#

if we r worried about inflation why tf r we hiking interest rates then

near swallow
#

the economy is a basketball if u inflate it then it gets better

sinful locust
#

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

near swallow
#

There is a goldilocks level of interest rates is the general view

honest spire
#

just increase tc u solved inflation

near swallow
sinful locust
#

Kirb

#

fickle ivy
#

678

#

no 🧢

near swallow

My first one as new grad was like 770 then i got 820 or so

honest spire

#

yo how was amazon oa? easy? med?

#

hard

honest spire
#

im just listening to cnbc on that hopium

soft basin
#

sometimes the lc level isn’t accurate

stark basin
#

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

ember bison
#

just bombed a codesignal 😭

#

do u have an example of each

stark basin
#

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

ember bison
#

😭

#

just the names

stark basin
#

I like trie

ember bison
#

yea i figured that out

#

trie is fun

stark basin
#

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

ember bison
#

yeah

#

done em

stark basin
#

median of stream is fun once you know how to do it

ember bison
#

im bad at ad hoc problems 😭

#

ye

stark basin
#

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

ember bison
#

bin search isnt bad tho

stark basin
#

if it's obvious, yeah

#

there are so many cases

ember bison
#

square

#

LMFAO

#

im prepping for two sigma

#

yea

#

yea

#

bro

stark basin
#

how long does codesignal scores last after you get a good one

ember bison
#

sometimes i go 6 months without leetcoding

#

6 months

stark basin
#

cool

#

man's prepping for his next work during work

ember bison
#

lol

desert plume
slow veldt
#

the hardest things abt codesignal problems are their absolutely awful input formats

somber bloom
#

what are the best cities to apply to outside of northern virginia for software engineer internships

slow veldt
#

"given this array of integers, given as strings, and sub arrays of integers that are not strings, ..."

stark basin
#

applied everywhere
only autorejected from Jane Street, Intel, and Citadel so far

soft basin
#

apply everywhere

#

most pay for relocation

somber bloom
#

okay

soft basin
#

intel rejected me before i even got an oa

stark basin
#

same

somber bloom
#

any good companies in san francisco?

soft basin
#

intel hates noodle

stark basin
somber bloom
#

im trying to intern at some of the bigger tech companies there

stark basin
#

tbf my stuff was mostly web dev and just a little bit of AI

somber bloom
#

okay

soft basin
#

san francisco has a ton of shit

earnest hatch
somber bloom
#

okay lol

soft basin
#

apply to everything

stark basin
#

i applied to everything that didn't make me write a personal essay

#

they gave me college application PTSD

slow veldt
soft basin
#

my anxiety rises daily as i approach the last day of completing my amazon oa

#

i avoid the essay places too

stark basin
soft basin
#

i hate writing essays

#

ptsd of stupid college essay

slow veldt
#

dawg those essays are so spammable with a crazy high %

soft basin
#

nah i’ve got till monday

#

yeah sort of

earnest hatch
soft basin
#

i started leetcode a bit too late

stark basin
#

you'll probably be just fine

stark basin
#

me

soft basin
#

it’ll be worth it still

slow veldt
#

^^ me

soft basin
#

it’s better being over prepared than underprepared

slow veldt
#

hit up 1point3acres, do like 20 of those, wing OA

#

walk out with a smile

stark basin
#

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

soft basin
#

my focus has been shifted to leetcode rather than school KEKW

#

i’m gonna be a junior this yr

somber bloom
#

also for non fang companies, how much should i leetcode prep?

soft basin
#

so just a bunch of shit electives

somber bloom
#

non fang companies that are fortune 500

soft basin
#

i’m takin bioinformatics

willow canopy
#

Noodle when you gonna take the Amazon OA?

soft basin
#

hopefully that helps with my string algos

#

no idea

#

before monday

willow canopy
#

Yeah imma take it on friday after work

stark basin
#

same actually

soft basin
#

i don’t have a job yet

#

hopefully next summer

stark basin
#

not an intern
part-time at my uni as a web dev

soft basin
#

i work as a tutor at codeninjas

willow canopy
#

You interning remote predator?

stark basin
#

tutoring

soft basin
#

more of a babysitter but yeah

crystal agate
#

random question but are all the slack offers coming from the grace hopper event thing?

#

how y'all know these events PepeHands

#

maybe I'm just out of the loop

somber bloom
#

what should i do to motivate myself to learn some new technology/framework everyday?

ember bison
#

why

#

it doesnt matter lol

stark basin
#

you don't need to
learn one or two well

ember bison
#

yeah exactly

somber bloom
#

i see

soft basin
#

react and node

ember bison
#

just learn one front end framework and one back end one

stark basin
#

I second React + Node

ember bison
#

theyre all the same lol

stark basin
#

goated

soft basin
#

i hate angular

stark basin
#

Angular dying

somber bloom
#

like i feel like i pressuring myself to be a jack of all trades

civic shoal
#

Nah learn spring boot

ember bison
#

why

stark basin
#

no such thing as a jack of all trades in tech
there's too many trades

#

the closest is a full-stack engineer

somber bloom
#

ok lol

civic shoal
#

He’s right tbh

somber bloom
#

i guess i just have to figure out what I like and stik to it

soft basin
#

time to learn carbon

civic shoal
#

i would also look at what the market uses

stark basin
#

I tried learning Go and I didn't like it

civic shoal
#

Because that means more opportunities

stark basin
civic shoal
#

C is fun

stark basin
#

Python

ember bison
#

zzz most top tech companies dont care about language

stark basin
#

Python for leetcode

somber bloom
#

how about python for backend

ember bison
#

nah even for FT

civic shoal
#

Language matters for full time or senior positions

somber bloom
#

is that valuable, like flask

soft basin
#

sometimes python is used for backend

ember bison
#

bro a big tech company has positions for a lot of different languages

somber bloom
#

gotcha

soft basin
#

node about to become even faster tho

#

with bun

#

i meant js abt to become faster

somber bloom
#

ive heard next js is the newest one

soft basin
#

look up bun

#

it’s like 4 times as fast as node

ember bison
#

ur not making any sense bro

civic shoal
#

Next js is a nice front end framework, honestly recommend typescript too

#

It’s becoming industry standard over just JavaScript

ember bison
#

at google, do u think an L3 fortran dev would make less than an L3 python dev? no its the same LMFAO

stark basin
#

I despise frontend

#

but I have to do it

civic shoal
#

Front end is ass but typescript makes it easier

stark basin
#

i should learn typescript

somber bloom
#

i think front end is one of those things where you justr have to do a lot of youtube and copy paste

civic shoal
#

Because it’s basically just strongly typed JavaScript

#

So easier to code

soft basin
#

yeah typescript is just a superset of js

queen plover
#

typescript is super hard at first but gets much better afterwards

ember bison
#

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

stark basin
#

the way they pass info around feels a lot better than just attaching shit to every component

queen plover
#

ok let me reword that

#

it's stressful

ember bison
#

missed the point

civic shoal
#

Switching is easy if you’re like going from one JavaScript frame work to another

honest spire
#

@queen plover u look like a unicorn

somber bloom
#

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

ember bison
#

but yeah, you can pick up languages rly easily if you know the underlying concepts

hearty river
#

@queen plover u look like a unicorn

soft basin
#

depends on the company or team

ember bison
#

u work under 40 hours typically

civic shoal
#

Depends on your team too

somber bloom
#

i see

soft basin
#

like msft has a great wlb

stark basin
#

you could get a messed up team at Google or a chill team at Amazon

civic shoal
#

Which is why I’m aiming for msft

stark basin
#

heard microsoft is generally chill though

ember bison
#

it doesnt matter what product is being done. infra knowledge is infra knowledge.

civic shoal
#

Yeah like API calls are gonna be made the same way regardless of languages

ember bison
#

like languages are just tools.

civic shoal
#

I’ve done back end both in mode and in Java and it was easy to translate concept

somber bloom
#

thats why microservices are highly used

civic shoal
#

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

ember bison
#

maybe recruiters at mid companies lol

civic shoal
#

If you use the right library it becomes no different than node

ember bison
#

big tech looks for exp in general

queen plover
#

i forgot how to code in java

#

after all those years i spent

civic shoal
#

I’m using Java for back end rn for my internship

queen plover
soft basin
#

java has strict typing

queen plover
#

i'm using typescript and python

ember bison
#

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"

civic shoal
#

It’s pretty disgusting yeah but it good for multi threading

soft basin
#

me coding in pyscript

civic shoal
#

So a lot of companies use it

#

Goldman’s entire back end is in spring boot

ember bison
queen plover
#

i feel u bro

civic shoal
#

Yeah its only useful for big companies

#

A startup doesn’t work with that scale of data

queen plover
#

the first thing i checked when i got access to the codebase was the redux folder

#

and i knew this internship will be hard

ember bison
#

bro idek what redux is 😭

stark basin
#

redux is nice

civic shoal
#

yeah node is getting better at it but spring boot is becoming fully reactive now

quaint bolt
#

Frontend L

hearty river
#

Frontend L

stark basin
#

let me rephrase
I hate front-end
but when push comes to shove
i can accept using redux when doing frontend

civic shoal
#

Bootstrap react >>

warped daggerBOT
#

Jams asks: backend

quaint bolt
#

If you do or like frontend don’t talk to me.

long slate
#

Backend pog

queen plover
#

what if full stack

quaint bolt
civic shoal
#

Component based front end libraries change the game

queen plover
#

lol not at all

#

that's like

#

back-end api is slow plz fix

stark basin
#

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"

queen plover
#

damn that sounds boring af

south aspen
civic shoal
#

I’m trying to switch from full stack to C/C++ but it’s hard because not as many roles

stark basin
#

tbf I only have to work when my manager hands me work and I get paid regardless so I'm chill with it

stark basin
civic shoal
#

Web dev is just easier to get since it’s so in demand

queen plover
#

there are tons of c/c++ roles

stark basin
#

well
less CSS styling
less Bootstrap
less SQL queries and _GET _POST variables

More just programming

queen plover
#

look into autonomous driving

#

everything is c++

stark basin
#

i like C++

warped daggerBOT
#

Jams asks: C++ good?

civic shoal
#

How many jobs are there for autonomous driving?

stark basin
civic shoal
#

I forgot php was a thing

queen plover
#

its demand is super high

#

no

#

fuck php

stark basin
#

I hate PHP
but our school's sites uses basically pure PHP with not even javascript so

#

static websites go brrr

long slate
#

Make them better

stark basin
#

I don't get paid enough for that

civic shoal
stark basin
#

tbf most of them made it like 15 years ago

long slate
#

The most cracked profs always have sites that are the simplest

stark basin
#

chadler

long slate
#

Does he even have a site

stark basin
#

yeah and it's not the worst
but it still looks like a page from 18 years ago
