[coarse marten]

I am biased cuz I am in a bad team

[sinful locust]

I see

[coarse marten]

I would say it's a good first internship because of the name but you will learn bad engineering practices

[pseudo orbit]

[ivory ocean]

@near swallow 2nd report

[sinful locust]

Gotcha

[grand bane]

anyone know if amazon pays less to those whom working in the LCOL areas?

[ivory ocean]

they do

but not much less

[grand bane]

neat

[ivory ocean]

like after the reduction still make more than hcol

relative to col

[grand bane]

i see

would austin be considered LCOL?

[pseudo orbit]

😉

[ivory ocean]

do you guys also have sprint planning meetings that go for 3 and a half hours every other week

like is that normal

this is my first internship

[ivory ocean]

HOLY SHIT HES ALIVE

[hallow scroll]

[hearty river]

@hallow scroll

[hallow scroll]

[hallow scroll]

Pain

[floral bone]

Yall still preparing for interviews?

[sinful locust]

Yes

[floral bone]

I never want to leetcode again after doing an internship + leetcode

[hallow scroll]

Screw internship work, in bs we trust

[ivory ocean]

do you leetcode at work or something?

[pseudo shoal]

only have one that lasts an hour everytime after our current sprint

[ivory ocean]

yeah dude ours is after every sprint but its always 3-4 hours

after the first hour or so I give up listening

and sit on discord

[sinful locust]

What do they even talk about

[floral bone]

Sometimes I LC while I am working and sometimes I just wait until after

[ivory ocean]

a lot of things

all the time

just everything

[honest spire]

im srry for posting too many cat gifs

i got timed out

[ivory ocean]

like rn they're discussing what a button would do on a figma file

[coarse marten]

really bad habit

[sinful locust]

Rlly wtf

[honest spire]

ye lmao

[sinful locust]

For how long

[honest spire]

3 minutes

[ivory ocean]

what leetcoding at work or not leetcoding at work

[devout fractal]

lmao did some dude rly try to pickup ppl in this server, was reading backlog

[honest spire]

ok

[coarse marten]

lc at work

[ivory ocean]

yeah he still here

[coarse marten]

you think lc at work is normal

[ivory ocean]

waiting for kirb response

[sinful locust]

Where do u see backlog

[devout fractal]

i just read up

[sturdy rampart]

Lc at work cause no return offer

[ivory ocean]

na was a joke

[hallow scroll]

[coarse marten]

I do

[ivory ocean]

ope

[coarse marten]

that's why I say it's a bad habit

[devout fractal]

I used to LC at work at the start when things were slow

[pseudo orbit]

what the fuck

[hallow scroll]

I hope I can take a break from lc soon

[devout fractal]

but now i actually have to grind at work 😭

[pseudo orbit]

most of mine end after 30 mins

longest was 2 hours but that was once

[ivory ocean]

losing my fucking mind dude

[pseudo orbit]

can't blame you

[sturdy rampart]

Our team meeting is like 45 min

[ivory ocean]

I won't LC so much if I get to a company with some more work

rn have not much to do

[pseudo orbit]

yeah lol

it makes sense

[floral bone]

I feel like if any of yall are interning at a start up then you basically do not really have the time for LC at work

or anytime at all

[ivory ocean]

or you gotta be faster

[devout fractal]

boomer fortune 500 for the win

[ivory ocean]

i figured out why ours is so long

2 guys just had an in depth discussion for how to name a work item

for 3 minutes

about the name

[honest spire]

[pseudo orbit]

LMAO

JUDA IS A MOD?

[ivory ocean]

nvm the fact that there is literally a discussion for it

[coarse marten]

[hallow scroll]

[honest spire]

[ivory ocean]

it was romantic

[honest spire]

i got a project idea

what if we make a bot to track how many mike wazowski reacts each person gets

[ivory ocean]

i like the idea

[coarse marten]

I bet Juda can pick up girls faster than 90% of mfs in this server with his lc skills

[hallow scroll]

[devout fractal]

i come here to be an unhinged sweat I get to sweat and grind freely

[ivory ocean]

I actually love wazowskis

I collect them

[sinful locust]

@uneven sand need to create a mikebot

[hearty river]

@ivory ocean

[ivory ocean]

yes boss

yes boss

that second s was gross

[honest spire]

i would have created it but i have to grind for amazon

[sinful locust]

We all have to grind for amazon

[ivory ocean]

I can't believe the ceo showed his face

[honest spire]

we can all contribute 1 line of code

[sinful locust]

True

Public static void main()

[fleet dew]

That’s good idea we will group project lmao

Yahkuna forgot about me

Don’t fall in love with him

He will forget about you

[honest spire]

should i make a github repository for mike wazowski bot
and we all contribute to it

[verbal iris]

Just like everyone else in the server

[honest spire]

if i can say i worked with 2000+ people my numbers would be so goated

[hallow scroll]

[verbal iris]

I still have FREE YAHKUNA in my name

From when he was banned

Do you know

@pseudo orbit and I each lay claim to half of Yahkuna

That’s how I became emperor

I conquered him

I used to be Mr Ice

So much forgotten history

[hallow scroll]

[pseudo shoal]

@hearty river

[ivory ocean]

he runs an international company named Yahkunazon

and he only talks through those wazowski emotes

that'd be another wazowski for the record

ive been counting mine

idk thats yahkub's firm

[pseudo shoal]

legend says if you collect them all u gain high knowledge of the elite

[ivory ocean]

@pseudo orbit i am still in that meeting

[coarse marten]

guys

what is yahkuna

I see this word written everywhere

[ivory ocean]

you missed some explicit language

if you're imitating

[coarse marten]

I searched on google but I can't find the meaning

anyone can help?

pls

[ivory ocean]

You see Bog it depends

Do you wish to know who Yahkuna is, what Yahkuna Matada means, or what Yahkunazon is

these are very different, philosophically so, topics

dont you always push to the minhea

then pop and give to max

[hallow scroll]

yes

ive done at least 20 bs problems and 50 from amazon tagged lc

I told them I wanted my interview to be next week so I still have a whole week of prep

[ivory ocean]

what the actual fuck is this

you literally scribbled a fucking sharpie on a neon puke post it note

and called it helpful

that takes cajones

[coarse marten]

@hallow scroll

[hallow scroll]

do find median from data stream

good problem

2 heap approach is good to understand heap problems

[soft basin]

maxheap and minheap

[ivory ocean]

who wanted the midwest msft recruiter?

[pseudo shoal]

give

[sudden knot]

well all of these recruiters who are making these posts are getting like lots of comments/likes, I don't really see any of them replying even if you reach out to them

their inbox will be flooded today with cold emails/DMs lol

[sick oar]

https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinaportiz/

[sick oar]

🤷‍♂️

[sudden knot]

one way it's great to let students have this info

[fleet dew]

Msfr recruiter promote for internship a lot on linkedin u guys

[uneven sand]

but does reaching out to them work for msft

[earnest hatch]

Microsoft has region specific recruiters, you can try emailing them if you know who is assigned but they'll likely just tell you to go through the normal process. I've tried and know some others who have tried cold emailing and they've all been told the same (to apply through the portal).

[uneven sand]

there should be a internship squid game

[hallow scroll]

internships should gf screen

[uneven sand]

it could help Netflix boost revenue

who wouldn’t want to see sweaty cs majors battle to the death

I have G but not F

[ionic turret]

is there a ux equivalent to the github swe internship list?

[earnest hatch]

LinkedIn

[harsh jackal]

Asking a silly question maybe

In general terms, do the HR’s schedule the phone screening or do they randomly call you out of the blue?

[ocean relic]

when u accidentally get a return offer instead of return intern offer

if its a big company they will probably sponsor, unless the application says they dont sponsor then u might as well apply.

a lot of big companies do not sponsor

you'd be surprised

[karmic sedge]

GM codevue complete joke lmao

[rugged knoll]

has anyone given IMCs swe oa

[fleet dew]

Is gm OA easy my brother

[karmic sedge]

It is

Intro cs questions

The input output thing is weird tho

[fleet dew]

Is that not like leetcode questions ?

[karmic sedge]

the questions they asked make lc easy look hard

[fleet dew]

That sucks man. What kind of intro cs question ? That weird though

[white zinc]

yeah

[regal moon]

how long does it take to hear a decision from c1 codesignal?

[fleet dew]

How hard is that ?

[karmic sedge]

its like really easy leetcode

[rugged knoll]

how was it

[white zinc]

q1 was leetcode easy i think, q2 isn’t algorithmically that hard it’s just annoying trying to get the logic flow 100% correct

it’s def doable though

[soft basin]

im p sure its random

[white zinc]

just plan out q2 before u start writing imo

[white zinc]

i heard back in a little over a week

[soft basin]

it took them a few weeks for me but i got a 580 on the oa

still got final for some reason

[white zinc]

w

[fleet dew]

Did u pass any test cases from q2 ?

[white zinc]

yeah i passed them all

[soft basin]

i do not remember

[fleet dew]

Nice what data structure is that ?

i'm around 100 wpm

[spice jetty]

what position are you applying to

i also got invited to the oa so im curious to see if its all the same 😭

also is verkada a good place to work

[tough ledge]

has anyone gotten any confirmation from microsoft yet?

[queen plover]

just curious where r u working rn

[spice jetty]

ah alright, highkey i just dont wanna work at a startup in this economy so i feel like i was a wasted seat at techfair 😭

[queen plover]

i see

[spice jetty]

yea understandable

[crisp berry]

what is paper money

[queen plover]

what company

hmm q1 was def not lc hard

yea if you get used to it, it'll get better

[sinful locust]

There were no hards in imc

[queen plover]

and i'm telling you there were no hard in imc oa

[solar axle]

because for that LC question u need to use euclidian

for the IMC one u just use generic dfs

ok ill dm

[sinful locust]

Lmao

It wasn’t an lc hard

[fleet dew]

U guys have link ?

[sinful locust]

A lot of lc problems use same patterns

Yea the constraints make it easy/medium/hard

[clever grail]

i forgor to apply to instabase after greylock

[queen plover]

bruh i can't even take roblox oa because it keeps saying that webgl has failed

and i'm using a macbook pro 15 inch

how is this even possible

yes

hardware acceleration is already turned on

[solar axle]

any one here taken the IMC video interview?

[queen plover]

you know what i'm not gonna take this thing

roblox is also known for their poor intern conversion rate so i don't care

[tawdry kayak]

Thoughts on qualtrics?

[versed rivet]

how long after c1 powerday do they tell you the results

monday, was alright

[devout fractal]

Does anyone know of a video that kind of gives an example of the ideal technical interview we should aim for? Like the candidate is near perfect in explaining their logic, talking to interviewer etc

[soft basin]

ive heard they take up to a week

i have my interview on the 18th 😳

[soft basin]

what kind of question was ur technical interview?

[versed rivet]

not really lc as far as i remember

[sand pendant]

Should I be applying to both redmond and atlanta position for msft intern?

or applying to one should get me considered for all loc

[soft basin]

shiii

[fleet dew]

You have a link for jpmc lc problem mate ?

[safe grove]

Sign up with code Clem, c l e m for a discount

[devout fractal]

i swear im so ducked, I've only ever done hardware or firmware technical interviews 😭

and now i have a swe final

[white zinc]

dawg did we have the same questions

i straight up copied code from online questions and couldn’t make it past all testcases on q1

and u couldn’t use recursion on q1 bc it would time u out for maximum recursive depth

[spark hearth]

is jpmc oa proctored

[white zinc]

i mean

[tardy ridge]

anyone here take IMC, JPMC OAs? how are they

[white zinc]

it got the notif that was like “u have switched tabs” but i just pulled up a second monitor bc i don’t think they can detect that?

idk i thought it was hard

but it might be diff questions or i might be a little slow

[tardy ridge]

was it lc med?

or lc hard

[white zinc]

the problems themselves are not difficult but getting them optimally is what fucked me

i had steps avoiding badindex and next permutation of string

did i just get rng fucked then lol

[golden root]

imc was LC med + med/hard, JPMC was LC easy + easy/med

[tardy ridge]

ok thx, hwo much time do you get for both

[white zinc]

did u have the same questions as me

[golden root]

for which

[white zinc]

jpmc

bad index avoidance and next permutation string

i don’t think it’s available on chrome store anymore

[golden root]

I had one where its game where they take turn and you give the winner and another was about a lottery game

[white zinc]

rip lol

[tardy ridge]

what was the one with bad index avoidance about

[white zinc]

like what’s the maximum index u can get with a set amount of steps and some other conditions if u have to avoid a certain index

tried using dfs but it timed out

and iterative doesn’t get u the right answer for some cases

[sinful locust]

yo i have algoexpert

does anyone want my acc

i regret buying it

[spark hearth]

me

[white zinc]

i mean

[sinful locust]

💀

[white zinc]

if u just giving it out

[sinful locust]

Leetcode is free

no not just giving it out

[spark hearth]

thank u

[sinful locust]

ill give it to ya for a discount

[soft basin]

how bad is it? 😂

im just gonna study by grokking

[tardy ridge]

for bad index avoidance, i think you just have to check triangular numbers

assuming i understood what you said

which i might have misinterpretted

[frail cape]

Should I open a new account and shit for amazon application?

It's been like 20 days

💀

[white zinc]

its kind of like that except u have the option to stay at current index for a step instead of moving on

[sinful locust]

theyll merge your accounts. friend had two accounts with everything different except name school info and his accounts still got merged

[frail cape]

Goddamn it

[tough ledge]

all these amazon offers and i’ve yet to get an OA after a month 😭

[soft basin]

amazon is rng

continue applying and making ur skills better

[devout fractal]

im legit so ducked for amzn final 😭 , got a chill OA, fr gonna get boned in 9 days

[sinful locust]

u got urs scheduled?

bruh i still dont have confirmed date

[devout fractal]

im just operating on the idea of "earliest" possible

if i get later

then taht's good lol

but nah, hasn't been confirmed

[marble kiln]

whats akuna or SIG like in terms of quant firm tiers? I'm not familiar with the name as much as js or citadel

[devout fractal]

yah u right, gonna grind and prep like my life depends on it and beat the crap out of this final 😤

blind 75 again, amazon tagged

[tough ledge]

anyone know what it means if my msft portal says my shit got transferred?

[devout fractal]

just means under review

[tough ledge]

word ty

[soft basin]

imma accept asap

however if i get something better they def are gonna get reneged

😈

their fault for making such a short timeline

[devout fractal]

i heard nuro gonna start in mid august tho, 7 days the heck

[sinful locust]

For SWE or trading

Akuna is pretty good

SIG sucks for SWE

But is good for trading

[sinful locust]

Yeah damn wtf

August already here holy crap

[devout fractal]

i could tell aug arrived cuz msft opened up

[sinful locust]

Yeah

[devout fractal]

would be nice to get offer before sept when school rly starts

[fleet dew]

Akuna oa made me cry man

[sinful locust]

True

[sinful locust]

True

for amazon

Solid solid start to the season

[soft basin]

soon meta gonna be starting too

hopefully

[devout fractal]

yah

[sinful locust]

I need to finish optiver oa

[devout fractal]

when does netflix intern open

[sinful locust]

Annoying af

[soft basin]

i need to start that too

[devout fractal]

gl king

[sinful locust]

They already opened

[soft basin]

i havent even had the time to do optiver

[sinful locust]

But for non SWE i think

[devout fractal]

i thought they just said they are gonna start recruting this season

on linkedin

but haven't actually opened apps

[eternal hornet]

bruh, how do we even get seen among hundreds of applicants

like, I know referrals are a thing

[sinful locust]

You dont

[eternal hornet]

but how do we get those

[sinful locust]

They literally just flip a coin

[soft basin]

play the rng game

[eternal hornet]

i have connections

[sinful locust]

And the coin is biased

In the first month

In your favor

[soft basin]

ight this guy got tails they are getting the oa

[sinful locust]

Lol

[eternal hornet]

like, should I be cold messaging people and asking for referrals?

[sinful locust]

Expected value of HH with a biased coin of p = 0.4 for heads

[devout fractal]

im pretty sure amzn is some automated thing that counts number of buzzwords for resume, gib OA, calculates to see if ur 75% ish pass for test cases and above 50% for leadership to give final

[sinful locust]

Solve

Lol

[soft basin]

i applied for amazon like 6/25 and got the oa 7/18 and final sometime in the next few weeks

[stark basin]

gave me offer yesterday, gave me until 8/22 to accept

[soft basin]

YOOO u got offer?

congrats dawg

[stark basin]

[devout fractal]

grats dude!!

[eternal hornet]

wait, you already heard back????

for summer 2023?

[devout fractal]

Yo ur both noodles, i hope u both get offers

[stark basin]

thanks!

[eternal hornet]

damn bro.....

[stark basin]

thxx!

[stark basin]

gonna happen

[eternal hornet]

congrats

[soft basin]

u had the find median of 2 sorted arrays right?

[stark basin]

[soft basin]

yes i have my final sometime not confirmed yet

[stark basin]

i would have been rejected

[soft basin]

what was ur final then?

[devout fractal]

yo sadnoodle, how long after submitting survey did u get ur final?

[soft basin]

just curious

did u have binary search?

[stark basin]

some problem I never seen before
something about getting shortest distances from a starting index to a target value in an array
input was a list of (startIndex, targetVal) pairs

and yes he told me to try binary search later on

I prayed to god to not have bin search in my final and god forsook me

[soft basin]

k closest values?

[sinful locust]

Damnnn

[stark basin]

no

[devout fractal]

😬

[stark basin]

like
literally less than 24 hours later

[devout fractal]

oh dang u took it asap?

[sinful locust]

DFS?

[devout fractal]

I've asked for the 11th lmao

[stark basin]

yea

[devout fractal]

so i have more time to prep

[stark basin]

nah no dfs

[devout fractal]

fair fair

[sinful locust]

Hmm wonder

Did u get anything not on b75

[stark basin]

well I finished all of b75 twice
and I've never seen the problem before so

[tardy ridge]

anyone know if intuit got an OA?

[fickle ivy]

@stark basin

[sinful locust]

Yes

[fickle ivy]

was this for

amzn

[stark basin]

yes

[sinful locust]

Poker player STOOPPP

[tardy ridge]

is it easy @sinful locust

[sinful locust]

STOOOPPPP

Idk

I didnt take i

[fickle ivy]

STOOOOOP

[tardy ridge]

oh ok

yea apps are open for intuit btw if anyone was wondering

[fickle ivy]

i scheduled mine

today

[tardy ridge]

just saw on linekdin

[fickle ivy]

ya

yea ^

[tardy ridge]

how was the amazon OA for you guys

for inter

[devout fractal]

I keep on thinking this says legoland

[stark basin]

ezclap for me but apparently it's rng

[tardy ridge]

ez as in like LC easies lol?

[devout fractal]

p chill for me and passed all test cases, but i def lucked out

[stark basin]

one was even easier

[tardy ridge]

gotta specify lmfao, some people on reddit even think LC med is easy 💀

[tardy ridge]

ayy good to hear

man i feel like these OAs are alot of luck tbh

some people just get rekt

[devout fractal]

i was able to answer both of mine in O(n) with just hashmap as my DS for both

[stark basin]

one LC easy and one LC "baby's first programming question"

[sinful locust]

STOOOOOOOPPP

[tardy ridge]

oh wow

[stark basin]

I've heard of people getting LC hards in their OA though

[tardy ridge]

actually

[sinful locust]

Yeah

[tardy ridge]

oh wtf

[sinful locust]

LC hards are possible

[tardy ridge]

LC hards?!?!!

like which ones

[sinful locust]

Anything is possible

[devout fractal]

I mean tbf to amazon

[sinful locust]

Some LC hards are easy just annoying

[soft basin]

merge k sorted linkedlists moment

[stark basin]

well there are LC hard's i'd be happy to get and LC medium I would curse the heavens for giving me

[sinful locust]

Ok thats not the worst

If youre familiar with KWay merge

[tardy ridge]

this ones aight

[sinful locust]

It’s ok

[devout fractal]

they do ask, "Are you lucky tho"

[soft basin]

ye i can only code up the heap solution

[sinful locust]

True

Median of data stream

Id love that one

Maximize Capital, even better

[devout fractal]

k way merge was the first LC hard I solved by myself

[sinful locust]

Sliding window median is such a hoax

[tardy ridge]

wait is maximize capital knapsack?

i just read the question

[sinful locust]

Nah

It’s Heap

[tardy ridge]

oh ok

[sinful locust]

Two heaps

[stark basin]

I love median of data stream
might be my favorite LC hard besides sliding window maximum

the other LC hard with "median" in the name though...

[sinful locust]

It’s like knapsack but

[stark basin]

that question can go eat a dick

[sinful locust]

You’re increasing your knapsack size each time

[tardy ridge]

ye i just read it

[devout fractal]

i like two heap solution ngl, it feels cool to implement

im bad at graphs + DP honestly

[stark basin]

exactly

[tardy ridge]

wait do those questions show up on OAs?

graph DP?

[soft basin]

i like the heap solution over the divide and conquer solution

for the merge k sorted lists

[devout fractal]

idk, idts tbh

[tardy ridge]

im hoping not

that sounds complicated af

[stark basin]

merge k I merge two at a time
that's probaly divide and conquer

it's annoying to implement though

[tardy ridge]

merge k sorted lists easy with heap imo

[stark basin]

yeah it probably is

[tardy ridge]

dam im kinda scared about this amazon OA

if i get a hard, its gg

[sinful locust]

Yeah its cool, can be trippy to figure out at first

[soft basin]

i suck at divide and conquer

[stark basin]

you get easy questions more often than not

[sinful locust]

Yeah it is

[soft basin]

im more scared of final

[sinful locust]

I did employee free time like that

[tardy ridge]

is final worse?

[soft basin]

its more rng than the amazon oa

[sinful locust]

Employee free time wack af

Sliding window median dont use two heaps

Use sorted Dict

[stark basin]

my friend got "Add Two Numbers" and "Diameter of Binary Tree" for his final

[sinful locust]

Oh yeah remember sortedcontainers module for OA

its actually pog

[soft basin]

waht the fuck

[stark basin]

literally off of b75

[soft basin]

FUCK

FUCKFUCK

[sinful locust]

Add two numbers with DP?

[soft basin]

me in anger

[stark basin]

the linked list one

[tardy ridge]

add two numbers is half adder right

oh

[soft basin]

i think the linkedlist one

[tardy ridge]

nvm

[sinful locust]

Oh BRUH

That’s not bad

[stark basin]

its ezclap

[soft basin]

im also sort of worried for lp

cuz i have no exp for work

[sinful locust]

i need to do those again

[devout fractal]

LP imma just talk abt my clubs lmao

someone said u should write a small story to tell for each LP

[soft basin]

yeah for lp im gonna talk abt my group full stack project

[stark basin]

don't need to be work
just think up anecdotes for leadership principles and questions amazon final might ask

[soft basin]

for luck my group luckily learned socket.io last minute 🤣

[tardy ridge]

wait so if you do well on the first OA, are you guaranteed final?

for amazon

[soft basin]

theres only 1 oa

[sinful locust]

Probably

There’s 1

[soft basin]

and a small survey for lp

[sinful locust]

Yea

[stark basin]

of course I thought up like 10 anecdotes and both of the question that mtfk asked I couldn't fit my anecdote in and had to pull stories out of my ass but

[devout fractal]

ye

[tardy ridge]

oh wait theres lp even on the OA?

[devout fractal]

we've all gone from OA -> final

[stark basin]

i'm pretty sure if you get OA that means you already passed the resume check so

yes

[soft basin]

what was ur question they asked? 👀

[devout fractal]

yeah

[tardy ridge]

shit

how hard are those

[soft basin]

just learn ur lps

youll know which way to lean on a question

[stark basin]

"Tell me about a time you saw a peer struggling or needing help and what did you do"
"Tell me about a time you had to work under a tight deadline"

something like those two

[devout fractal]

is kinda obvious

[soft basin]

one example is "i tend to be luckier compared to other people"

[devout fractal]

^

[tardy ridge]

wait is it like mcq

[stark basin]

[tardy ridge]

or is it some video interview

[devout fractal]

"I AM HYPER EFFICIENT AND LIKE TO LEARN" vs "Sometimes i get overwhelmed 🥺 "

[soft basin]

oh boy do i have stories for both of those

[devout fractal]

slider thingy

[stark basin]

[devout fractal]

it's like MBTI test

[stark basin]

ezclap final then

[devout fractal]

question style

[tardy ridge]

oh bruh 💀

[soft basin]

either way amazon can smd

id only take em for resume 😂

[soft basin]

did they give u a choice to choose ur city?

or nah

[stark basin]

they threw me to Irvine which is where I'm already at

[soft basin]

ahh

[tardy ridge]

how many days did you guys prepare for the OA

[soft basin]

so they choose

fuck

[devout fractal]

as long as im not in the middle of nowhere plant like for my current intern, amzn can put me wherever

[soft basin]

i hope i get ny, ca, or seattle

[stark basin]

i can't remember but I think during the initial application you could choose preference

I think I picked Irvine as number 1

so

[soft basin]

i chose cali, nyc, and seattle lol

[devout fractal]

i forgor

[tardy ridge]

how many LC problems?

im so nervous for this shit

[stark basin]

San Fran?

[soft basin]

yessir

[tardy ridge]

just cuz of the odd chance that i get a LC medium even lol

[devout fractal]

just do b75 again homie

[stark basin]

[soft basin]

for da weed zaza

[devout fractal]

i had 1 easy 1 med

[tardy ridge]

oh which ones

[soft basin]

i think i had 2 easies

one of them was a string greedy problem

[stark basin]

use that $9138 a month salary for that good shit

[soft basin]

and another one was query

if youve seen the problem before u know what im talkin abt

if u dont 🤷‍♂️

armaze -> amazon

[tardy ridge]

dam

they let you use c++ on the amazon OA right

[stark basin]

yea

[devout fractal]

bruh i should get off discord and grind

yah i did mine in cpp

[soft basin]

im still grinding rotated binary search

[soft basin]

most of that shit is goin in my savings

gotta save for rent when school starts again 😭

[stark basin]

9138 a month + ~1800 housing stipend for everywhere besides San Fran and Seattle and NYC

6/26

[soft basin]

its been 3 yrs since ive last touched calc 2 but i gotta take diff eq in a yr

god im fucked

im super hyped to get out of school lol

fuck school

isnt it like 60/hour

and like 3k for housing stipend

or corporate housing

i fucking hate school

im only in it cuz of scholarships

[stark basin]

i'm guessing the salary is the same but housing stipend is 2425 a month instead of 1875

[soft basin]

false

internship > school

esp since i have to use C for school

im a C hater

[stark basin]

C was technically my first language
my first ever programming course was "C/C++" and the first week we learned about printf and scanf and then the instructor was just like haha ok now we're doing C++ and we did C++ for the rest of the course

[vagrant wadi]

how's amazon's working environment?

[hallow scroll]

did you guys get to chose the start term

[stark basin]

wtf is that

[soft basin]

my very first language is java

[stark basin]

we use Python first language

my very first language is Scratch

[hallow scroll]

ic ty

[steady crow]

can u change country for amazon ? lol

[soft basin]

I think so yeah

Weird wording wtf

[eternal hornet]

lmao, let's fucking hope

lemme post my resume again in the resume channel and see how it is

i gotta like cook and eat and do stuff but I've just been sitting at my computer since work ended and going through linkedin and filling out job apps

[rugged knoll]

i posted my resume 3 times and i havent gotten one comment from the resume channel lol

[vagrant wadi]

is there a deadline for a ms application?

[weak wadi]

initial impressions: youve got some words on there

[weak wadi]

no but they operate on a rolling basis

[rugged knoll]

[weak wadi]

if you dont get an interview by November it’s gg p much

[vagrant wadi]

by November?

[weak wadi]

yep they p much wrap everything up by thanksgiving

although apps are open till Feb I think

[hallow scroll]

I interviewed in Jan last year, its not preferred to interview that late but its definitely not the end of the world

[vagrant wadi]

So they won't recruit interns next year? like on Jan or Feb?

[hallow scroll]

general consensus for all companies tho is to apply asap

[vagrant wadi]

I see

[weak wadi]

its not like they wont recruit you by then

Its just not lookin as good

[vagrant wadi]

I feel like Im not ready yet, so..
