[sinful locust]

^^^^^^

.

[fickle ivy]

also JS

apply to

trader right

not swe?

[sinful locust]

first thing i do every morning

[fickle ivy]

swe requires faang for resume screen

[sinful locust]

i got rejected from their swe role

fuck js

they didnt even have my school listed

[hallow scroll]

yes

[fickle ivy]

what is ur skool

[sinful locust]

Trader probably has a decently tough resume screen too

[sinful locust]

SFU

[fickle ivy]

yeah but i think i go to a skool where they recruit

[sinful locust]

It’s just that its lower than swe and 3 rounds before onsite

[hallow scroll]

QUANT SCREEN IS A MYTH

[fickle ivy]

o

[fickle ivy]

[sinful locust]

i go to STFU

Oh yeah i think JS loves brown

[fickle ivy]

🤎

[sinful locust]

all i want IS MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MONIE

not a big ask

[fickle ivy]

ask daddy

[sinful locust]

daddy made it clear his money is not mine

[fickle ivy]

i never said that

[sinful locust]

OH

I SEE

[fickle ivy]

they recruit there tho

no?

[sinful locust]

they probs only want MIT kids

which is fair i guess

[fickle ivy]

is it fair?

i think thats

cornell

i think brown is solidly ivy

[hallow scroll]

for cs isnt Cornell better then most ivies

[stark basin]

it's definitely dartmouth

[fickle ivy]

imho gt > cornell

[hallow scroll]

it's for sure dartmouth

[fickle ivy]

cornell cs undergrad is a clusterfuck lol

[sinful locust]

i have yet to meet someone from dartmouth

[fickle ivy]

they're all in finance

[sinful locust]

those mfs are rare pokimons

[fickle ivy]

thats why

[stark basin]

Dartmouth's a fuckin myth

[sinful locust]

oh ic

[hallow scroll]

I meet 2 people from dartmouth

they were both google so

[fickle ivy]

what abt trader?

lmao

fair enough

[soft basin]

uhh i just got contacted by microsoft recruiter wtf do i do

[fickle ivy]

ask them for feet pics

[sinful locust]

Say ur interested

And refer me to the recruiter

[hallow scroll]

say hi

[sinful locust]

what do i have to do to get msft's attention

[hallow scroll]

skill issue

[jolly jewel]

for what

[hallow scroll]

jk msft is random

[soft basin]

im applying rn

[hallow scroll]

resume screen is actually a coinflip

[sinful locust]

noodles got msft in the bag

100%

they dont ask hard questions

[hallow scroll]

its rng lol

[sinful locust]

no ik some DUMB mfs at msft

[hallow scroll]

msft gave me the hardest question ive ever had

[sinful locust]

fr?

wtf

[hallow scroll]

yeah

harder then google

[soft basin]

nah i heard msft is one of the harder ones

[sinful locust]

What question

ik someone who got twosum and valid suduko

[sinful locust]

bruh

[hallow scroll]

basically had to create a file directory tree thingy recursively from a filepath

and there were some other requirements like searching it etc

[sinful locust]

Well google asks easy questions so any other company would ask harder questions

[hallow scroll]

yeah its rough, I tried finding the exact variation I got online and couldnt and its because my interviewer said, "this is a problem I did at work the other day, I was wondering how you would do it"

[soft basin]

microsoft opened up btw

for swe intern

[hallow scroll]

yeah google is still p hard tho, I got fucked by a matrix dp med/hard

but then again I also dont know dp lol

[sinful locust]

i aint even applying to msft

Which term?

[hallow scroll]

fall

[sinful locust]

Rlly

ik im not landing it

I got 2 leetcode easies

[hallow scroll]

yeah

[soft basin]

summer 2023

[hallow scroll]

damnnn

[sinful locust]

Like palindrome level easy

[hallow scroll]

my second problem was easy, but the first one fucked me up

mbn

[sinful locust]

I thot they becoming amazon

[hallow scroll]

nah you got some godsent rng

[sinful locust]

Wait so u got rejected after phone screens?

[hallow scroll]

yeah

[sinful locust]

Dam

🦫

[hallow scroll]

dam indeed

[sinful locust]

Next time

[hallow scroll]

[sinful locust]

You’ll get Lc easy 😉

[oak bramble]

I'm new to code signal I just took the Roblox one

[oak bramble]

How is that taken into account and what is an average/good score?

For codesignal?

[sinful locust]

2

[oak bramble]

oh 1 on the first and 2 on the second I think?

[sinful locust]

Wtf was the point of the cars

[oak bramble]

Idk

[coarse crane]

glob.glob(".", recursive=True)

https://tenor.com/view/evangelion-smug-asuka-troll-face-asuka-troll-get-trolled-gif-23761062

[hallow scroll]

in description it says pursuing bachelors

[fickle ivy]

wait is

graduating early from ivies

seen as outrageous

by recruiters

[hallow scroll]

yes

instant blacklist

[fickle ivy]

really?

[hallow scroll]

[sinful locust]

ive unironiclly done this before at work

[fickle ivy]

uh oh lmao

so will amzn

instablacklist

[hallow scroll]

im trolling, but is that something someone said

[fickle ivy]

no

but ive heard that

it might be outrageous

but ive also heard that i should just go for 3-year

[hallow scroll]

nah people always lie about grad date and say that they are graduating early

[fickle ivy]

but do they get blacklisted is the question

[hallow scroll]

they dont care they just want to poach you

[fickle ivy]

idk

im worried

[hallow scroll]

nah

[fickle ivy]

hmm

okay 😨

[crimson whale]

@hallow scroll

[coarse crane]

why would you do that with ivy league education (harvard) like,, (harvard) more years of school === better applicant?

[fickle ivy]

i do not go to harvard

no jokes aside

uh

idk

[sand pendant]

what do you guys recommend doing if you have no idea how to solve a question in an interview?

[hallow scroll]

disconnect

nah but seriously just let them know youre stuck just dont give up and see if your interviewer is willing to give pointers

[soft basin]

def ask ur interviewer for hints if u need any

[sand pendant]

like you keep asking questions to understand the question but can't really think about how to solve it

[soft basin]

they are mostly willing to help

[sand pendant]

yeah just preparing for this situation as I am sure i will face this at some point lol

[hallow scroll]

I am immensely disappointed

[sand pendant]

so don't want to panic and have an idea of how to approach a situation like this

[soft basin]

sometimes i have no idea of how to brute force

[clever grail]

does share/decline/defer matter for square gca

[stark basin]

at least try to move towards a brute force
and just keep talking out loud about what you're thinking about

if they want you to pass they'll give you hints

[sand pendant]

that's a great advice ty!

[stark basin]

[sand pendant]

also for interviews, do you guys follow the UMPIRE method?

or is this just a codepath thing

[sand pendant]

if not, would love to know how you approach problems

[fickle ivy]

umpire?

[stark basin]

i follow my method

[sand pendant]

as this will be my first recruiting season and haven't really given a tech interview before

[sand pendant]

https://guides.codepath.com/compsci/UMPIRE-Interview-Strategy

[stark basin]

i barely remember to do STAR in behavioral interviews I can't follow a 6 letter acronym in coding tests

[sinful locust]

"ez"

[sand pendant]

how to you approach prob then once you are given the question

no pseudo code or planning out your approach before that?

[sinful locust]

FRRRR?

[stark basin]

my coding interviews have generally been short affairs so no time to do any pseudocode stuff

[sinful locust]

return investment on tagged qs is high asfffffffffff

[sand pendant]

u mean like writing test cases or completely random shit

what was thew coding platform used for the interview by amazon?

how do you go about testing your code once done?

[sinful locust]

so u cant run ur code for amazon?

ughhhhhhhhhhhhh

[stark basin]

I'll tell you for my Amazon coding interview though
got a problem I've never seen before, unfortunately
Quickly worked towards a brute force solution and noted that it would be O(n^2)
Talked through my thought process through maybe doing a single-pass solution with hashmaps and stuff
start working on it and halfway through it realize that it might not work if there are duplicates
Told the interviewer that, and then he hinted to try binary search or something
Worked towards that, with him giving some more hints along the way
Asked me what the time complexity of the code would be, etc
Ended up with ugly-ass code that on retrospect wouldn't work at all, but I think I talked enough to show him that I knew how to write the code and that I knew the logic

[sand pendant]

you got the offer?

[stark basin]

yes

[sinful locust]

giga based

[sand pendant]

damn you ended up coding thrice

[oak bramble]

What location did you get?

[vagrant wadi]

@stark basin have you done any personal projects?

[stark basin]

yeah I was concerned

[vagrant wadi]

for resume?

[stark basin]

yes

one sec

[vagrant wadi]

What did you do?

[sand pendant]

oh i see but good job!

[stark basin]

[sand pendant]

I feel a lot more confident now so thanks everyone! I was thinking a bit too much about following the umpire method so that was really helpful

[stark basin]

Irvine

[alpine vigil]

@here hi! I posted here earlier but wanted to clear up confusion with the process. If you are interested in working at Palantir, please first apply to the roles you're interested in here https://www.palantir.com/students-and-early-talent/. Once you do, if you're interested in learning more and a referral, DM me up until Aug 10!

[stark basin]

I'm in Irvine so

[oak bramble]

Ah I wanted Boston but I got NYC

[stark basin]

stinky

[sand pendant]

after which round?

[willow canopy]

Same

[slow quarry]

Bro wtf is this Roblox assessment shit?

How can I reuse a Gca

[oak bramble]

lmao don't like the robot

[slow quarry]

[pseudo orbit]

use the same email no?

or is roblox's OA spezial

[slow quarry]

I wanna see how to fucking share the Gca score tucking shitty ass ui platform

Ok I can share it

Nvm

No I’m in office

[hallow scroll]

:( cars

Message #2023_summer

nah ima apply later

I dont wanna do car rn

[oak bramble]

What is the range for codesignal?

oh wait nvm

845 😎

[floral needle]

how is imc trader oa

[pseudo orbit]

WHAT THE FUCK

happened to gmail

[floral needle]

? nothing

[pseudo orbit]

it changed

the entire UI is gone

;_;

[stark basin]

yeah my school email UI is messed up

good thing my main email UI never changes for some reason

[pseudo orbit]

i kinda dig the new font

[honest spire]

u got such good numbers

[placid nebula]

sick

[steady crow]

lol netflix is continuing to hire interns

[sinful locust]

yo that servicenow posting a couple days ago

that isnt all for servicenow right

theyll have more postnigs later?

[astral dew]

Well yeah. Wasn’t they layoffs mainly recruiters?

[queen plover]

true

[past comet]

Robolox OA is codesignal gca ?

Noice

[fickle ivy]

[sand pendant]

wait actually?? damn that's a pretty high bar

[white urchin]

Wait, roblox is proctored gca right

[honest locust]

yup

[past comet]

I will submit my Blocks gca report ?

[versed kestrel]

is there even a non proctored gca?

[white urchin]

If it's 820+, go dor it

[sand pendant]

i think so

[white urchin]

Yes

[past comet]

847

[white urchin]

Tf is that question then

[sand pendant]

what's ur current score?

[white urchin]

You gonna try for 849 lol

[past comet]

Nope, I am fine with what I have

What to expect in Akuna Data Tooling Phone round ?

stuff related to Python or LC ?

Application -> OA -> FInal

[simple salmon]

Anyone take the final yet?

Amazon^

[soft basin]

1

[oak bramble]

What is roblox like after OA rounds?

[white urchin]

If Google sends snapshot and you do well on it, is it guaranteed technical?

[soft basin]

i think just technical and behavior

i have yet to get final 😔

and i took my oa thursday

[hallow scroll]

Think so, I didn’t get all cases but still made final

[soft basin]

ye i plan to take it sometime this week

[fickle ivy]

😭

[echo lynx]

Hey ma people

Do you guys think we're allowed to submit an 842 for Roblox's OA?

[fickle ivy]

i think prob is good

is ur score verified?

mine went up after verification

[echo lynx]

Still going to be verified

Just finished it

[fickle ivy]

ok

ya

i went from 841 -> 847

after verify

but i think 840+ is safe

[echo lynx]

Nice nice

[fickle ivy]

845+ is probably 100%

[queen plover]

that's a p high bar

[fickle ivy]

its been mixed from what ive heard some ppl say 825 some say 840 some say 845

but i think 840+ is ilke 80-90% safe

[queen plover]

i'd say 820+ is good

[echo lynx]

Ah ok ok

[fickle ivy]

rlly?

well

[vapid yarrow]

Did anyone get invited for the final round of Amazon 2023 Intern position, after passing all the test cases for just 1 program out of 2?

[fickle ivy]

how many did u get

on the 2nd problem

i think sm1 got it after 15 and 7

[vapid yarrow]

4 out of 14

[fickle ivy]

14??

[queen plover]

you gotta lc more

[fickle ivy]

aren't they out of 15

[queen plover]

that's way to low

[fickle ivy]

yeah i think 15 and 4 is a bit risky

[queen plover]

you will fail in onsite

[fickle ivy]

not way too low

[fickle ivy]

ok relax

lmao

maybe the problem was hard

maybe they panicked its fine

[proud whale]

[fickle ivy]

but yeah practice more and you'll get it

[proud whale]

they can easily still pass the "onsite"

[fickle ivy]

yea

[proud whale]

onsite is a misc blind 75 problem it's not that deep

[fickle ivy]

but i think 15 and 4 is a bit risky

[fickle ivy]

misc?

[proud whale]

miscellaneous

[fickle ivy]

theres a misc section in b75?

[proud whale]

nah haha i mean it's a random b75

[queen plover]

depends on the company

[fickle ivy]

those things correlate

lmao

mostly

[hallow scroll]

yes

[proud whale]

aren't we talking ab amazon? wdym lmfao

[fickle ivy]

but first focus on test cases, if u have time then

[queen plover]

for amazon, you don't really have to care about the efficiency

[hallow scroll]

I had 100% on one problem, 40% on the second

[fickle ivy]

go for spoody

[fickle ivy]

40% is still like 6 problems

well then its prob fine

imp sure test case > complexity

but go for better code if u have time

espec on gca

yeah

test cases > good code > speed > efficiency

on gca

got score upgrade with well structured code

[devout fractal]

If I passed all the test cases for both problems for Amazon OA and think I answered work style questions alright, will I get final?

My solutions weren't the most efficient imo, but they passed all test cases for both

Oh waot

[queen plover]

yeah

[fickle ivy]

yes after verification

i got 6 more points

out of thin air

[fickle ivy]

yeah u are chillinnn

well they didnt say but like

normally u dont just get

more points

for no reason

from what ive heard

cuz time and everything else is automatically factored in when inital scoring happens

but there does appear to be some correlation between score increase post verification

[ivory ocean]

Dude where is the Amz final confirmation

I’m losing it

[sinful locust]

apparently asana application on greenhouse is not the real one

asana has not opened yet

just heard back from recruiter

[hallow scroll]

unlucky

[white zinc]

what’s the max score u can get if u do 1 2 4 on codesignal

[sinful locust]

825

[white zinc]

hmmm ok

is that like enough to get me past most screens

*all screens

[sinful locust]

Yeah reddit says some heard back with 800s

[sinful locust]

Should be? I think the hype with ppl saying 840+ is that if you get rejected post OA its not rlly attributed to your score as it is to your resume

[hallow scroll]

you only need 820+ if you dont have a lot of exp since companies resume screen after code signal or if its a try hard company like databricks

[sinful locust]

Yea exactly

If you get rejected after OA it is most likely not that you had a bad score if you have 820+

And sometimes people still get rejected with good resumes, which happens at every company so yeah

[white zinc]

hmmm ok

i’m just not gonna take again lol i wanna be done w codesignal

[crisp berry]

cuz they send out a lot of oas, do they filter really heavily at interview stage

[hallow scroll]

nah they also hire a lot of people

[crisp berry]

holy

wtf

[hallow scroll]

amazon is one of those companies where its not really a headcount thing but more of how you preform

[crisp berry]

okay thats excellent news

[sinful locust]

Amazon sucks ass

[crisp berry]

cuz i cant outperform these op people

[hallow scroll]

yeah lc problem is normally easy/med

[sinful locust]

GHosting me forever

[hallow scroll]

[sinful locust]

Thats pog

Any graph med im down

rng

I know someone that got LC hard for amazon

[hallow scroll]

most of the time easy medium

[crisp berry]

rng gods 🙏

🙏 🙏 🙏

[sinful locust]

I think it was like Median of Data Stream or something

[crisp berry]

i cant solve num of islands

[sinful locust]

Dude literally you can conceptually solve b75 in a few days

[hallow scroll]

nah I did

[sinful locust]

as long as youve done it before

[hallow scroll]

I had like 7 lc problems done before my interview

was legit my first ever technical

[sinful locust]

If youve done b75, best way to prep is conceptually solve b75

Not if youre seeing it the first time

[crisp berry]

what do you mean conceptually

[sinful locust]

DIsagree, its def hard

[sinful locust]

just make sure you know the approach

[hallow scroll]

yeah median is hard if youve never seen it

[sinful locust]

oh you can math it out i think

[crisp berry]

hopefully its doable

[sinful locust]

nah

Yeah bfs is best way

I think DFS works too right?

but youd have to compare and stuff

yea exactly

bfs more efficient

[echo lynx]

Wow

What do you guys think about this resume template:

https://www.faangtechleads.com/?utm_source=grind75&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=sidebar&aff=eclhfkefjhevu

[sinful locust]

paying money cringe

just use jakes

and use resume channel

[white zinc]

is there a q on leetcode like this

[echo lynx]

But it's $16 bucks though right?

[white zinc]

not sure if i understand bfs vs dfs approach

[sinful locust]

https://leetcode.com/problems/shortest-path-in-binary-matrix/

[white zinc]

bet ty

[sinful locust]

@white zinc

[echo lynx]

Ok sounds good

[sinful locust]

yea

[echo lynx]

Thanks thanks guys

[sinful locust]

Yeah bro just use #resume

and jakes template

Right

still not bad

I get too hell bent on using dfs

[echo lynx]

Wow Leetcode UI popping

[sinful locust]

bfs better for shortest paths

yeah

what do you use?

LC or hackerrank or bsearch?

[echo lynx]

I use bfs usually for shortest paths

I think it's easier to comprehend

[sinful locust]

yeah cause once you hit the goal once youre done

[echo lynx]

ye ye

[sinful locust]

dfs more of a pain

just use dijkstras

[echo lynx]

Ye I agree

[soft basin]

dfs is usually better in trees

[sinful locust]

Dijkstra would be nicer

[soft basin]

dijkstras makes use of bfs right?

[sinful locust]

nah not really

its more of apriority queue

jakes resume

[soft basin]

do i need to know boyer moore for interviews?

[sinful locust]

can you do LC hards

[soft basin]

cuz its only applicable to like one problem

[sinful locust]

def not

[soft basin]

alr alr i like never heard of it until now

[sinful locust]

i wouldnt expect to know Boyer Moore, KMP, or Rabin Karp

although Rabin Karp is somewhat trivial

KMP is def no

thats like LC hard

[echo lynx]

Quick question folks.
Do you guys know about the 169 question bank that Grind 75 has?

[soft basin]

theres another hard algo for palindromic substring

yes what abt it?

its made by the same mfs that made blind 75

[echo lynx]

ye ye

[sinful locust]

what

manacher?

[echo lynx]

can you access it by any chance?

[soft basin]

ye

fuck that algo

[sinful locust]

yea dont need to use that

just use the expanding approach

still o(n^2) worst

[soft basin]

https://www.techinterviewhandbook.org/grind75

[sinful locust]

DP is also n^2 worst i believe

but the iterative is easier to see

[soft basin]

dp uses up more space

[echo lynx]

Oh no no, I mean the 169 questions question bank.

[sinful locust]

why

its a pain to remember the recursion

[soft basin]

iterative saves more space

[sinful locust]

dp[i][j] = dp[i + 1][j] + dp[i][j - 1] - dp[i + 1][j - 1]

[soft basin]

therefore iterative is more optimal

[sinful locust]

i just do the expanding iterative

its constant space

[soft basin]

ye

[sinful locust]

yeah

[soft basin]

i do be grinding grind 75 rn

[sinful locust]

i need to

[soft basin]

god i hate algos

[sinful locust]

which ones

[soft basin]

i have one interview coming up and potentially another one

[sinful locust]

I need to learn bellman ford

and graph stuff

although its rare

still should know it ig

[soft basin]

dp greedy and divide and conquer

[sinful locust]

divide and conquer

whats a good divide and conquer one

[soft basin]

mergesort and quicksort

[sinful locust]

oh well lol yeah

merge sort isnt bad i think

[soft basin]

karasubas algo

[sinful locust]

you know how to do karatsuba?

[soft basin]

ngl i still can’t code up a mergesort or quick sort without looking it up

[sinful locust]

why wtf

i can code the merge part

[soft basin]

nope i remember i being taught abt it at one point

as an intro to divide and conquer

[sinful locust]

you def dont

its a multiplication optimization

o(n^sqrt(3)/2 ) or something

i forget the time complexity

[soft basin]

it’s insane

[sinful locust]

but the recursion is T(n) = 3T(n/2) + o(n) i think?

so you can use master therem

[soft basin]

ye

that was also our intro to masters theorem

[sinful locust]

oh its log2(3)

[soft basin]

im hoping c1 and amazon wont be asking dp

if they do catch me jumpin off my apartment building

[sinful locust]

can you do DP meds

[soft basin]

nope

[echo lynx]

Hey people

[sinful locust]

wait

do you think they care

if you do top down

or bottom up

[soft basin]

not rlly imo

[hallow scroll]

amazon rarely asks dp dw

[sinful locust]

i can do top down

ok great

[soft basin]

i prefer tabulation

[sinful locust]

bottom up sometimes confuses me

[soft basin]

i suck with the recursion portion

[sinful locust]

the recursion makes the most sense

im just dumb at dp

[soft basin]

im also dumb at dp

[sinful locust]

same

[echo lynx]

Please guys, which do you guys prefer between Grind75's 169 questions and neetcode.io, just for the basis of the questions?

https://www.techinterviewhandbook.org/grind75?weeks=26&grouping=topics

[sinful locust]

GRIND

grind better

[hallow scroll]

GRIND

[sinful locust]

grind way better

[echo lynx]

Ah

[sinful locust]

do grind

[echo lynx]

Way better?

[sinful locust]

do grind in one month

[hallow scroll]

i love grind

[sinful locust]

ill give you 1000

[echo lynx]

Why do you guys think so?

[sinful locust]

1000 rupees

[echo lynx]

Why do you guys think grind is much better?

[sinful locust]

because

its more comprehensive

and study plan

[hallow scroll]

grind has more problems

yea

[sinful locust]

also

doing it not by pattern is nice

for interview prep

just do all of them

thanks

maybe add kirb 300 to that

and geeks for geeks

and binary search problems

and LC explore cards

[hallow scroll]

neetcode+grokking+grind+blind+sean prasad+kirb 300 + bit of comp programing and you should be ready for amazon

[soft basin]

i do it by pattern to learn the patterns first

[sinful locust]

sean prasad lol

EPI

CTCI

[sinful locust]

yes this is good

and OOD

Grokking is god tier

time to go to lc

bye

[hallow scroll]

same

[soft basin]

yep same

[hallow scroll]

[soft basin]

these interviews are stressing me the fuck out

[echo lynx]

Do you guys prefer going from easy to hard for all kinds of questions or doing it pattern by pattern for different questions instead?

[soft basin]

to learn first go pattern by pattern

[hallow scroll]

for interview prep I think its best to scramble

[soft basin]

and then go random mode

[hallow scroll]

yea

[echo lynx]

Ah ok ok

Sounds good sounds good

Thanks guys

[soft basin]

if u start random idt youll rlly learn the patterns too well

im very much a starter in leetcode as well

[echo lynx]

ok ok

Thanks for the advice guys

Guys quick question

Do you guys think codesignal takes the order of last name and first name into account for a profile when reviewing your score to verify it?

Cause I switched mine for a gmail account I created.
Just wondering if anyone has done that here before.

[rough parcel]

am i fucked for my first OA

[proud whale]

What

[rough parcel]

never done one before

dont know what to expect

lol

[proud whale]

For what company

What OA

[rough parcel]

i have one for GS and anotehr Optiver

[proud whale]

Most will have a “practice” you can look at

So you understand what to expect

Then the rest is straight forward

[floral needle]

[pure stratus]

Do companies put a higher stress on experience or skill when looking at single product companies?

[floral needle]

that's too general of a question to answer lol but for intern probbaly skill as long you have some experience

[pure stratus]

[devout fractal]

[echo lynx]

Hey people

Do you guys have an idea what a good ATS resume software is?

[devout fractal]

but i tsays for "Uni grads"??

[stark basin]

wonder if I should apply and if I get accepted ask if they can move internship to like fall or winter or something

[stark basin]

pretend that isn't there

[echo lynx]

I keep getting rejected with my resume

I still get auto rejected with Jake's though

[stark basin]

sounds like a content problem

[echo lynx]

Ah man

[stark basin]

[echo lynx]

how hard is microsoft resume screen

[weak wadi]

microsoft apps are out

[past comet]

https://boards.greenhouse.io/sentry/jobs/4439620?s=LinkedIn&source=LinkedIn

[weak wadi]

trying to give referrals to peeps but this shit is crashing

cant even log into my profile

[crisp berry]

ill take a referral

[weak wadi]

what role you going for

[crisp berry]

SWE intern

[weak wadi]

shit why not

[crisp berry]

yooo

much appreciated

[weak wadi]

dont apply for the role yet if you want a referral

[crisp berry]

yeah ofc

[weak wadi]

the referral gives you a special app link

[sinful locust]

Me too man 🙂

[crisp berry]

do you want me to send you my resume

ill try to get hired so you get the bonus 😈

[sand pendant]

swe intern link?

[weak wadi]

im an intern so i dont get a bonus

[proud whale]

microsoft app not working lol

[weak wadi]

microsoft website not working

too many people are applying the shit crashed

[sand pendant]

it's not for undergraduate?

[proud whale]

lmfao yeah

[weak wadi]

yep

[crisp berry]

yeah website down

[weak wadi]

nothing

[crisp berry]

this happened to roblox too

[weak wadi]

we get nothing from it

[stark basin]

[crisp berry]

is the app for undergrad intern or graduate?

[weak wadi]

cause any employee can refer, but interns at MSFT dont really matter so until you're FTE referring for FTE you dont get a bonus

[crisp berry]

looks like undergrad right?

[stark basin]

looks like both

[crisp berry]

yeah

[past comet]

No proper load balancing

[crisp berry]

they need a system design interview prep course

[past comet]

lmao yeahhhh

[crisp berry]

it was down a second ago, working now

[sand pendant]

nvm should've opened the link

[fickle ivy]

MICROSOFT

does msft have

early programs

[sand pendant]

btw official asana apps are not out so no point applying to the link on greenhouse

[fickle ivy]

explore msft

is open

[sand pendant]

they won't be reviewing it

[sinful locust]

i genuinely hate msft

[crisp berry]

does microsoft do oa

or interview directly

and is the oa auto?

[sand pendant]

pretty sure no

[crisp berry]

so they do do an oa though then

[sinful locust]

long story short, everything is rigged

[sand pendant]

someone ik had a choice between OA and phone

[crisp berry]

i would prob choose phone

so you can get hints

not sure

[fickle ivy]

wait

explore msft is open

[echo lynx]

hey ma people

[fickle ivy]

its not?

[crisp berry]

is such a funny emote

i enjoy it

stoooooop

[echo lynx]

Hey ma people
Please people, would you mind looking through my resume templates in the #resume channel

[crisp berry]

https://tenor.com/view/are-you-sure-about-that-the-rock-you-sure-gif-24604462

[sinful locust]

their recruiting process is actually not merit based, ik someone who cant code to save their own life but got into the company cuz the recruiter basiclly pushed them thru. He was asked twosum and valid soduko

he didnt even have any work exp either

dm me and ill show u his resume

[crisp berry]

sounds like my kind of company

finally a company i can pass

[stark basin]

I would prefer to be at microsoft than amazon though

[crisp berry]

microsoft pays less

[stark basin]

well you actually get the work life balance to spend the money at microsoft

[sand pendant]

didn't they decided to increase TC?

[echo lynx]

Ah guys

[crisp berry]

also microsoft made windows

gross

[sinful locust]

no wlb for interns at Amazon?

[fickle ivy]

how much does

amzn pay

vs msft

[placid nebula]

all cloud teams are tuff no?

[echo lynx]

Please guys, could you try assisting me with some resume feedback in the #resume channel?

[crisp berry]

sure

[stark basin]

depends on team
i have friends who are chilling and friends who want to die
most of what I heard is anything related to AWS or cloud or a big famous team gets no sleep

[sinful locust]

amzn is double msft

[crisp berry]

nvm you have a lot of text and i dont want to read rn

looks good though

i assume

[stark basin]

amazon pays interns like
a stupid amount

not that i'm complaining

[crisp berry]

software engineer

[weak wadi]

TC for MSFT has increased

[crisp berry]

wdym

[weak wadi]

closer to 200k NG now for returning interns

[stark basin]

wish I was level 69

[crisp berry]

its just an array

SoftwareEngineer[59]

[stark basin]

why do they start at 59
what's special about 59

[sand pendant]

yeah that's what I've heard as well

[stark basin]

actually now that I think about it
isn't SDE1 at Amazon level 4 or something

what are levels 1~3

warehouse workers?

[weak wadi]

yep

l1 is warehouse

l2 is customer support

[sinful locust]

CAN WE STOP WITH THE

[weak wadi]

l3 is warehouse shift assistants

I was an L1 at Amazon in high school

[stark basin]

I see but I don't see
it's not like you're gonna eventually get promoted from warehouse worker to SDE1 right

[sinful locust]

I3 WINDOW MNGMT

[crisp berry]

@weak wadi do you want me to bug you for microsoft referral tomorrow when website stops getting ddosed

[sand pendant]

just wondering whether you have already got RO or know someone who got it?

[weak wadi]

ye

and ye

there's a spreadsheet

here let me send a pic

[crisp berry]

thx again

[crisp berry]

why is this wazowskied

[hollow sun]

cuz 789

[weak wadi]

ye

[stark basin]

i'm more concerned that that implies that there are 58 levels under entry

[weak wadi]

well unofficially official

[crisp berry]

looking good

[sand pendant]

which level is for new grad? 59?

[fickle ivy]

me hungry

[crisp berry]

i ate pizza pops today

broke college student moment

[weak wadi]

so NG's got together to make spreadsheets of offers+return offers

dang im lagging

[weak wadi]

ye 59 is NG

some returning interns get 60 though if they perform well

Masters start at 60 and sometimes those and PHD's get 61

4.5 years

[crisp berry]

is that saying you get 120k in stock???

[weak wadi]

it's 120k/4.5

[fickle ivy]

what for this

[crisp berry]

oh

[sand pendant]

I am bad with maths, does that l59 calc equal to 200k TC

[weak wadi]

nah amazon does 4 years too

[fickle ivy]

what are 59 and 69

[weak wadi]

except they're more cutthroat

[fickle ivy]

59 and 60*

[crisp berry]

tbh why do companies give stock only for k years if they dont want turnover

[weak wadi]

Amazon is like 15/15/30/40

[crisp berry]

cuz wouldnt you just leave because your TC is decreased

am i stupid

[fickle ivy]

??

[weak wadi]

yep this happens a lot after 3-4 years

most people leave at the 3 year mark

[stark basin]

once you get a promotion

[weak wadi]

yeah I mean it's 2 years of getting that starting bonus pay and the promotion and the rest is spent trying to find a new job

[stark basin]

[weak wadi]

you normally get promoted to 60 at MSFT within 2-3 years

If it's over 25-30k I believe it's vested over 2 years instead

so if you get max of 50k bonus it's 25k for 2 years

[stark basin]

well
at least for the first job
I would want to at least work until I get to the next level before finding a new job
cause otherwise you'd have to find another entry job right

[weak wadi]

apple doesnt have gamepass tho

ye we got the xbox org

azure

by far azure

33% of our profits is azure

not revenue

profits

[fleet dew]

Could add referral in MSFT internship ? I didn't see the blank to fill out name of referrer

[sinful locust]

Can I get a referral

[echo lynx]

Guys

Do you guys think Roblox would be happy with 848 in the codesignal?

Ah

Ok ok

I thought 849 was the highest though

[ocean relic]

Touch grass

[stark basin]

if you get slapped with a 848, it was your resume

849 wouldn't help you by then

[south aspen]

does anyone know how strict roblox is w/the cognitive assessment

pre sure i got dogged so hard on that

i had 3 for first round

[crisp berry]

[echo coral]

nah p sure Roblox is like 830+

based on some anecdata

[crisp berry]

does microsoft sponsor? because they have an app for Canada and an app for US

if i apply to US, would i get auto rejected? (as a canadian)

[uneven sand]

roblox is 849 only

it's crazy

[echo lynx]

Wow

they're not hard

just annoying

[echo lynx]

Ye I agree

[sinful locust]

i dont have one

[white zinc]

[sinful locust]

i dont play the codesignal game

i cant be bothered

[modern geyser]

Did anyone apply to msft with a referral? Someone mentioned that it won't accept referral and I wanted to check

[hallow scroll]

yeah msft referral doesnt do anything

[sinful locust]

Rlly

[hallow scroll]

yeah

[fickle ivy]

welcome to real cs

[hollow sun]

Codesignal game is the game once u get a good score

Don’t have to worry bout setting time to do oa

[sinful locust]

bro my grade date is 2024

i am cs

CounterStrike

[crisp berry]

wdym

you cant apply with referral?

[hallow scroll]

msft just opened today

the repo normally takes a day or two to update

[hallow scroll]

it doesnt effect anything at all

[quaint bolt]

No you don’t have to use anything it’s just the repo gets updated a while after links are released

[hollow sun]

no? u can use whatever u want linkedin prob is where ppl find the updates that then get put on the repo

[quaint bolt]

The companies themselves aren’t updating the repo, it’s other people like you who find out about it and update it

[sinful locust]

code signal is stupid

i hate this

i hate it

i dont like being timed

it makes me feel weird

[past comet]

At amazon we are not timed and we work 24x7

[sinful locust]

at least we'll be co-workers

:shypepe:

[solar axle]

does the difference between an 848 or 845 codesignal acc make a difference

[past comet]

Roblox straight up saying their past interns worked in FAANG

fml

[sinful locust]

LAMO

thats so funny

[weak wadi]

gonna have an aneurism at this rate

hm
