about a company question
like she said she would keep me in the loop once applications open
and then she said she wanted to schedule a phone
and i said okay lemme do it a month later

and now it’s approaching
theyre gonna see you did comp math and give you lc ultra hard
so far i have citadel OA to take, optiver phone, JS phone, akuna phone

hopefully my meta recruiter is able to help me for august
no one realizes how incompetent i am

rn
before i ban u

cracking the interview is a good read
Grad 2 years is cringe

🙏
enjoy college
yes
Like be sweaty but enjoy college
ye got credits going for @slow quarry strat
can’t enjoy college w leetcode
im going to party
My way of having fun is late night antics at the library with friends
let’s just say i enjoyed coding until i heard of leetcode
antics meaning studying classes 
i don’t rlly enjoy partying either
@ember bison @proud whale q1 was the subdomain problem q2 was maximum length of repeated subarray except u needed to return the entire subarray
leetcode is just v stressful
ily
for interview prep
Ty ty
Is it 2 qs or 3
ayo dm, dont spoil here
share the knowledge
so grind 75 right
they dont care about time complexity in karat right?
Wooo colorstack summit happening soon
That’s how I got into contact with Oracle, Airbnb, Doordash and Riot Games recruiters 
Whaaaaa?
idk thats just what someone told me
questions solved matter more than time complexity apparently
That’s just like a career fair
Yeah it’s a career fair meant for black/Hispanic people but it’s open for anyone, it’s an online one that spans 3 days and recruiters from multiple big companies show up
Last year that’s how I got through a lot of company screens


If you want to apply
some of the companies rolling up
correctness matters more than complexity but they’ll still ask u time and space complexity for each of ur solutions
Yep they didn’t mind last year, I’m Hispanic and I saw quite a few non black/Hispanic participants
got it!
there's almost always more white guys at these things
hispanic gang 
wooo
than the people its actually meant for

Yep people take whatever opportunity they can get
I respect it though we’re all trying to move ahead in life
i rmb for this hrt thing, there were like 20 chadwicks
Tbh like nobody showed up last time
wait they don’t care abt race?
they dont check
if not imma apply to that summit
The Wells Fargo, Riot Games and Doordash booths were pretty much empty most of the time
It was just the recruiters staring at an empty screen
won’t cap to you
there’s prizes

Pretty much you get a link to join this airtable website when the career fair starts
And it’s an online career fair
There’s a tab for the main stage where some big companies present on a zoom-like environment
But the main thing is the booths tab
That’s where individual companies have their recruiters sit in the chat and wait for people to show up to their individual booth
To talk to them
If you register and talk to the recruiters they’ll send you a special OA after the career fair ends
rodrigo gonsalez
And if you hit it off with the recruiters they’ll even give you their emails to fast track your app
I got emails from riot games recruiters, Wells Fargo and from Oracle
Boutta suck all of em
Sometimes the people that do the recruiter screen are the peeps who were at the booth
My Oracle recruiter was the one at the booth
I got the offer from that company
They sit there staring at nothing for 2 hours
Waiting for someone to ask a question in the chat
Or ask to join the call to talk to them
Tbh most of the booths were empty other than like Janestreet
So you’ll definitely have time to connect with recruiter
This is my only shot at a career fair any tips on how to prepare, never had somethin like it
Yep
connect and leave that’s my goal
They quite literally sit there and do nothing until someone talks to them
It was pretty sad some of them get desperate
Wells Fargo was one of them
in my mock interview my interviewer took a fat minute to think about what he enjoyed at work
These are some of the ones going this year
Full list isn’t published yet but it’s 30+ companies
duolingo
linkedin is pretty nice to get
my friend has a streak of 1k
Datadog 
It’s like an open booth so they’ll answer some questions if it’s busy from you
Or straight up chat with you if it’s not busy
But you can stay as long as you want
The booths sometimes run concurrently though
So you’ll have to choose which companies to connect with
They’ve got set hours each day
Y’all I’m serious do I just bring up stuff abt the companies itself
They’ll post their schedules on their booth the day before the summit pulls up
Boutta get the doc ready preciate it
Is it even worth going to that summit thing as a white male? like i feel like the companies would just not be interested
yeah but getting in and getting an interview are different
fair
Anyone gets it I suppose
i be lying about that already i have no qualms about that
😢

is the email u got just "thank you for registering, see you there"
they don’t really care
i gotcha
oh yeah i got it
say less
wait if they dont get on call w recruiters
is there any benefit
You can just chat with them through the chat feature
And they’ll remember your name
do they ask for ur resumes still?
You’re slapped on a list of registered users
When you attend and register for the booth
So they send special apps or OA’s from that list of registered users
oh cool
So make sure your email you register with is actually valid

yeah then im definitely going to that, that company list is pretty nice
win the chromebook
What is this?? 👀
No idea they don’t tell me
why would they put leetcode premium on the same level as the other prizes
Colorstack summit
whoever chooses leetcode premium needs to



Ooo is there a link to get more info
just sent it
Cool thanks
Wait only for fall?
yeah it happens in like September or something
nevermind
I lied
it’s august 17th
🗿
show up and farm those companies and referrals for me my friends

Netflix would be crazy
Smart engineers sadly dont mean nothing when management make bad decisions
I mean, they just pissed people off even more 🤷🏽♂️
Pretty sure they'd frown upon anyone that's not Black/LatinX as they specified multiple times even in the box that you tick "[Student] Black and Latinx students looking for roles in Software Engineering"
I’m in the process for Integration Intern role. Should I ask to also be in the pipeline for SWE Intern role after I get an offer? Or during the pipeline?
During the pipeline
Some companies lock you from other pipelines the second you enter one
And it’s a lock for the season
When you tick that box you're saying you're Black/LatinX
feel like this is a better indicator of ur race lol
if they wanted to screen out they can do it there
The first screen you literally say you're Black/Latinx by checking it 🤷♂️
and the second one explicitly says im not + the dude in here advertising it said they dont mind
Remember the list of all companies, y’all can find it here https://hopin.com/events/stacked-up-summit
ok like if they didnt ask the race question
id be uncomfy with applying for it
but since they gave me the option to clarify im asian
up to them to do what they want w the info
sheesh
it says this event is over
i gotcha
Mb wrong one, lemme get the 2022
Yeah I'm not stopping anyone, just saying it's pretty clear who this event is meant for
Nah there’s a few booths not on that list
i mean i think the company thats organizing the summit is trying to target minorities in tech but are accepting everyone to try to gain traction at events
so maybe we're just in the earlier stages of this
maybe but i dont see what the point in asking for your race is if they arent even gonna use the information
They still targeting minorities, it’s up to u to decide if u wanna show up or not
thats true
if would be more wrong if they had a set amount of spots open, but if theyre just accepting everyone ig youre not robbing someone from an opportunity
yes
U still got access to these things tho, some (myself) don’t but then again u do what’s best for urself
I mean yeah it messes with the recruiters life and the company plans
I mean its kinda fucked to take advantage of an event thats meant for a specific group of people lol
in terms of reneging I dont think its that bad, ive reneged like 3 times lol
yeah
reneging isn't bad, especially in current conditions
I was just saying yes to all of your questions I was trolling
some guy at the salesforce summit was a waterloo part time student but was working full time at square and already had a pinterest internship lined up, he was just there for fun lol
are we discussing the political and economic state of the world rn 
is he just quitting square for the summer or wha
idk why he was doing the co-op program too if he has a fulltime job
good question lol
bros got options on options
I didnt get to ask too many questions because he would just leave randomly to hangout with his work buddies
opportunity definitely couldve gone to someone else 
jesus
yeah
60 people
it was in person and all that
nah for sure
idk why they would let someone in with a full time job
As an ohio dude I wouldn’t mind a free trip to San Fran
yeah same, there were a lot of people from ivys and I met some googlers that said they weren't planning on taking the offer :/
did you hear back/accept?
thats true, but I did meet a lot of people from random schools and no exp
didn't even get an OA from that summit
yeah, they had p good diversity 50 something different schools so pretty much everyone came from a different school
gl 
probably because I'm based in Canada

I think there were a couple Canadians there
Gotchu fam ❤️
where can i find an amazon referral 

Btw @coarse marten hows the internship going my dude
bog bog bog
we cant make fun of waterloo kids anymore? literally 1984
best way to prep for Amazon final ? like LC tagged ques ?
what OA score you had??
and is your interview 1×45?
solved both ques in 30 mins, didnt get any final interview mail yet, hopefully i get one 
I literally just enacted a new rule to ban loo kids do people not listen 
How to schedule powerday if working full time
you can
everyone except one 
Waggy daddy
How did the Optiver OA go for people who took it?
i thought it went well but got rejected next day
anyone know if it’s possible to move forward with four test cases timing out on one question in amazon oa
last year I did really bad and moved on
but I think this year they are putting more emphasis on passing test cases
pain
I did the same as you tho, I had full cases on 1 but had a couple tleing for the second one, I will lyk if I move on with that
like ten min ago lol
Good just stressed and overworked lmao and u?
(not bcs of optiver but exams+work)
oh nice lol, theyre generally pretty fast to let you know if you move on to final, we will know by the end of the week most likely
hmmm ok at least there’ll be closure lmao
yeah they like never ghost
better than most of the companies then
If Amazon does hiring freeze we are in a depression
we are fucked literally then
:)
same thijg haoened to me and a friend
these links were shared in a invite only event
salesforce vs amazon?
salesforce
seems like the pay is lower for internship tho
well if you are a junior don't focus on intern pay and see where you would like to work full time
both pay pretty well for new grad and have a very high RO rate
so you can't wrong go with either choice tbh
Keep in mind Amazon's pip culture though
salesforce easily
nah if you pick amazon ur pretty fuckin dumb
salesforce has some of the best wlb while amazon has some of the worst
ur gonna be working 2x as much at amazon for the same pay
amazon is team dependent to begin with
not true at all
all companies are team dependent. im just talking about the avg
there is a higher % of bad wlb teams at amazon than at salesforce
that's true but don't see it as a straightforward option as you make it out to be
especially when SF recurring tc is lower than amazon for most locations I think
ik for SF it's around 170-180
isn't it higher for amazon especially for bay area and NYC?
yeah for bay area it's 200k recurring
and a difference of 5-10k a year isn’t worth dealing with forced PIP
i still dont see 200k recurring
i see 185k recurring as the highest
search on this server
a lot of people have mentioned it
which I see as a good data point
180k - CA, 165K - Seattle, 200K - Bay area
I’m ready to get blacklisted from akuna trading for 3 years 
thats close enough to salesforce figures to where it wont matter
like id pay 10k a year not to deal with forced pip and stack ranking which amazon has
also SF has slower career growth
yeah which is fair
you know that career growth is directly a function of how much you work
thats why places with worse wlb typically have better career growth
not necessarily true
snap is one example
thats just one post
there are so many others
bottom 10% get PIP’d at snap so bad wlb
well so in the end it's team dependent almost everywhere
yeah but that started recently
yeah but the company culture HEAVILY influences it
yeah but we’re not talking about the past are we
we’re talking about rn
uh
yeah..?
it happens w every company lol
like a lot of leetcode questions are created from interview questions people recieve
hows goldman sachs oa
Stupid
official apps will be out again in August
after that only they will start sending out OAs
wait fr is it easy?
Sure
It’s just a poor quality oa
Hence stupid
You like Amine?
Caroline is not a bad song
Lmao
like my actual government
Sorry i should specify - the math section was bad quality
Coding was just kinda “bashy” for me as well
I didnt take math I just took coding
Ok then its lc easy - med
big bet'
Thank you! good luck to you with your future oas and interviews
Prolly the easiest OA I’ve ever had
good 
there any difference in asana ny and sf?
yeah offices are in different location
Do they fly you out?
most companies fly you
Yes
will companies ever start doing in person interviews for interns again
and fly u out
the 'rona forced them to try out virtual final interviews, and if they think it worked great, they might not go back

and me
No
this it saves cost and time
@hallow scroll have you had any luck emailing asana recruiters in the past?
@hallow scroll you in asana?
Yeah just at the final right now
for summer yeah?
i need to apply soon fuck
It still early you got time
down bad with covid lol soon

Some companies i think
ah ight
Bruh i just wanna intern in NYC

YEA 😭
Well no then

Cap1 pay is such bait
If i get i will leverage it for nego
honestly cap1 good for sophomore internship
almost no one negos for interns lol
bro idk if theyre gonna nego with cap 1 🤣
akuna alr higher than cap1 no?
yea
Maybe they dont have postings for cap1 there this year
I didn’t see NYC or SF in the list
O r maybe im blind
its avail
Oh ok
but it fills up quickly
Well i have it mid aug
thats wat my recruiter said
like u can choos ebetween plano, mclean, and richmond
and ur guaranteed what u choose
but if u want sf or nyc its not guaranteed u can go there
whats akuna tc?
Id choose Plano then
for fresh grad
Yeah applying later when I’m actually prepared lmfao
yeh
Someone told me 300k first year
bruh all my schools upperclassmen say cap1 is easy as shit
but idkkkk
250k recurring, but they promote very fast
fuck me lmao citadels open too
The website says you can be senior in under 1 year
sheesh
like evryone ive messaged said to not even stress
thats the fattest cap ever
Oh wait well
it might be different
But idk then my source is wrong
Interesting
Yea 200k ceiling seems suspiciously low
Good, good. Vancouver’s amazing I love it here
Since akuna
Floor u mean guys 
And Amazon’s been super chill
Floor of guys???
Got a sick team too that I wouldn’t mind returning FT to
Now I’m just stressed about google team matching bc of the hiring freeze stuff
Yea 200k floor makes more sense
For Amazon Canada?
Yes
170K CAD which is like 130K US
That’s return intern so no


Yo mr slacker, how is it going?
Gl 
Pltr in the bag
🪴 👂
Waz
Is akuna summer?
Did you accept the offer btw?
And renege if you get something better
I agree
That’s the plan
Salesforce(not biased)
Salesforce(not biased)
Also sf better location
Sf tower pog
Salesforce park is really pog
Salesforce bus terminal goated
(not biased)
I didn’t get to see the park when I went they didn’t give us a tour of it for some reason but

Are the testcases on hackerrank all the test they gonna test your code?
If it still says that don’t worry about it it doesn’t actually mean anything
Ah okie
wdym ?
Like are there hidden testcases or they will only test you by the testcases on hackerrank?
in general each ques has around 11-20 test cases out of which 1-3 might be public ones
rest all are hidden tho
can we resubmit code?
yes
until u submit the whole assessment u can submi then go bakc
ye ye, exacltly

@gentle latch if you're free please roast my resume tyty #resume message
If we get offers this early we might get our top location choice so Amazon nyc in the winter seems cool
sheesh
nyc intern arc

Amazon nyc 😩
@hallow scroll how are u interning three places at once
Is nyc hc significant smaller than Seattle and bay
Well obv Seattle Seattle is he
Hq
Not at once but off-season
that looks weird hahhaa
chad goat 
Not really, it’s basically what Waterloo people do lol
Do they offer nyc for sumemr ?
do you think recruiters screw u up for moonlighting?
im like working for a web3 job 1 mth before my tiktok intership ends
I mean I’m not actually doing them at the same time, I specify the actual start dates in the description
right
Yeah
Aight AIght
btw jack pls roast my resume ty
I think as long as you specify recruiters don’t care
How big is nyc headcount?
gotcha
Do we have same rec coordinators ? just curious
Wym for Amazon?
yeah in the email you can see the name
What date ranges did they give you guys to take the final?
do winter internships conflict with school or are they the same as fall/spring
So did they give 8/8-8/12?
i also got 8/1 to like 8/5
Wait that’s so soon
Has anybody that had an issue with their referral application not showing up on amazon university and only on Amazon jobs corporate gotten an OA?
Should I give myself a week for interview preparation ?
Yeah me. I applied through referral and it didn’t show up on my Amazon university. I applied again through Amazon uni separately and got oa
what are LPs?
it’s on amazons website
ah
how tough is the amazon final ? anyone gave it recently ?
do you guys put school projects under proiject section?
u can
i have like 2 school projects and one side project that's actually been used
but the side project isnt technically challenging at all
sorta like a uni course review website
these are the school proj
not sure if i shd switch
Same question
A bunch of upperclassmen friends there rn said lc medium level. They said if u get a tree question, that means u got one of the harder questions
Idk how valid it is
Wait is tree supposed to be harder?
Idk, but friend at aws said their interviewer told him “if a recruiter gives u a tree question, they’re in a bad mood”
I mean interviewer**
Thanks for the info
you asking the same question ?
Yes
bro i hate trees
Do you guys have any tips for someone who is applying for internships for the first time this fall as a sophomore. I have taken Data Structures and have started doing leetcode questions from Neetcode's 150 question list. I am currently doing a research internship this summer.
apply early
lie as much as u can w/o being caught
and for interviewing
imagine ur ideal coworker
and embody that
You mean act/talk like what you imagine them to be like?
yeah
So someone full of company spirit and who is nice to everyone
i want them to understand what they’re thinking
grad date, other offers, what u did in ur last internship, behavioral anecdotes
just be a generally likable person
will take u far
