[fickle ivy]

when does amzn conforma

le interview de phone

[stark basin]

no just the structure
you write the methods and calling each other and stuff,
but if there's algorithms involved in the methods you can just skip it

[soft basin]

what company is this for?

[stark basin]

Akuna

[soft basin]

ah

[sinful locust]

Ok i need to prep

Imma finish reading EPI

[soft basin]

i need to know as much abt cap one and amazon as i can

[fickle ivy]

elements of prog intervoos?

[plush flume]

anyone do JPMC OA yet

[fickle ivy]

how long is the book

[soft basin]

as long as i cop at least one internship 🙏

[stark basin]

can I just email capital one and say yeah nvm about the powerday

[sinful locust]

Lmao true

[stark basin]

I don't want to do a 4 hour interview

[sinful locust]

If i get akuna

[soft basin]

do the power day anyways

[sinful locust]

Would you take akuna if u get

[soft basin]

in case if u get an offer rescinded

[stark basin]

maybe if I get accepted I ask if they can switch to another season

[sinful locust]

@stark basin are you a junior / soph / senior / freshman? Lol

[plush flume]

bro just make ur cousin do the other intership for u or smt

[stark basin]

no I'll still take Amazon
more in line with my future goals

[plush flume]

get ash to do it take half the pay

[stark basin]

going into junior year

[plush flume]

lmao

[sinful locust]

Nice

Good luck though

[soft basin]

im goin to jr yr too

[stark basin]

[sinful locust]

Hope you get it at least

[stark basin]

thanks

[soft basin]

still 0 exp tho

[stark basin]

I'm feeling good about Akuna

[sinful locust]

That’s good

[fickle ivy]

wait does anyone have

a pdf link

to EPI

[sinful locust]

I just need to do the OOP design study

[fickle ivy]

and also how long is the book

[sinful locust]

And graphs

[steady crow]

have u tried searching it up

[sinful locust]

Lmao

^

[fickle ivy]

yea

[steady crow]

First link on goog: https://elementsofprogramminginterviews.com/sample/epilight_python_new.pdf

[soft basin]

oop is overrated for most systems

[fickle ivy]

but i feel like

everything is abridged

[stark basin]

damn

get him

[simple garden]

Someone said akuna looks like OOP but mostly it’s still DSA

[sinful locust]

[craggy barn]

Yall I just got an email from capital one to fill out information, does everyone get this after the oa?

[simple garden]

I assume that means data stream type problems

[fickle ivy]

😐

[sinful locust]

YES

[stark basin]

DSA for first interview
OOP for second interview

[long slate]

Most

[sinful locust]

Nah its DSA and OOP yea

[soft basin]

congrats u got final round

[fickle ivy]

pog

[sinful locust]

@stark basin wait how long was it total

Like 1 hour?

Did they ask a crap ton of follow up

[steady crow]

Ur right its 500pg, the pdf is 100pg but try this https://usa1lib.org/s/Elements of Programming Interviews

[sinful locust]

It’s python bruh

It’s a python position

[sacred seal]

i imagine writing oop in c++ is 😦

[sinful locust]

I think python is more OOP focused

[soft basin]

honestly not too bad

[stark basin]

about 35, 40 minutes each
probably longer on the OOP
OOP asked a lot of follow up while writing the code
DSA asked some follow up after you finish your code (how can you make it more efficient, what's something you would add), etc

[sinful locust]

Great ,thanks

Appreciate it , this helps

[stark basin]

[sinful locust]

Time to grind

Bye

[solar axle]

did anyone with one case off on Akuna Python OA not get phone

[drifting wharf]

How difficult was the OA?

[sick oar]

does a recruiter saying that "our team will be reaching out shortly with next steps" mean i'm getting an interview

or is that just ambiguous

[muted summit]

@stark basin what location did you get for amazon

[drifting wharf]

Next steps == interview, lmaoo

[sick oar]

sick

[stark basin]

Irvine
which was my first choice
maybe I should have picked Seattle

oh well

[muted summit]

nice

[sick oar]

i just reached out to the recruiter that rejected me last year and she sent me that

lol

[muted summit]

imma pick seattle

when i apply

[steady crow]

Wait so at what stage of akuna swe do they start asking you OS / system design questions

[muted summit]

i think most ppl get it

[sick oar]

seattle office is sick but seattle isn't that great of a city lmao

[stark basin]

on the bright side
I get to keep all of my housing stipend so

[sick oar]

jane

[stark basin]

jane street only company to resume ban me

🥲

[steady crow]

No OS questions asked ?

[stark basin]

zero OS question

I'm Python

Python don't do OS

[humble elk]

@stark basin yooo

[sick oar]

i wonder if my recruiter even looked at my resume

this time

[humble elk]

I’m at Irvine too

For Amazon

[steady crow]

Wait wtff

[stark basin]

i'll see you there

[drifting wharf]

How difficult was the OA for Akuna

[stark basin]

it's not your typical OA that's for sure

it's one big problem

it wasn't THAT difficult

[humble elk]

Does anyone know if capital one does off-season internships?

[stark basin]

just annoying

[sick oar]

irvine/socal has some cool teams

[drifting wharf]

Huh, sounds interesting

[stark basin]

since you have to write classes and stuff to make stuff easier to write

[sick oar]

@stark basin @humble elk dm me your job id's and i can see what team youre on

[drifting wharf]

Fingers crossed I don't get resume-screened

[slow veldt]

howd you get resume banned 😭

[stark basin]

isn't that only decided like 40 days before the job or something

[drifting wharf]

I assume he means no next steps after resume?

[sick oar]

no

[stark basin]

I guess they just hate me

[sick oar]

do u have a listing in your portal that says irvine

if so

send me that job id

they don't tell you until 2 weeks before but i can look

[stark basin]

aight

[steady crow]

Surely they’ll ask you some low level questions though though right ? ur done w final round?

[stark basin]

what do you mean low level, and yeah done with final round

[drifting wharf]

Y'all, it's Python

[stark basin]

How low level can you get with Python really

[drifting wharf]

Who does low-level stuff in Python

[stark basin]

they'll probably ask memory management and shit if you're a C++ dev

though probably mostly in phone

they asked all the Python concepts in my phone

[steady crow]

idk looking at the cpp

[stark basin]

no python concepts in final

well yeah that's C++

[drifting wharf]

Huh, Python concepts? What does that look like

[steady crow]

I thought they’d expect you to know some other stuff as well

[ivory ocean]

theres a python framework for writing embedded systems code

[sinful locust]

what the fuxk is optiver doing

[ivory ocean]

so very low

its just also very slow

[craggy barn]

One last question abt c1, what'd yall put for the whiteboarding question and does it even matter

[stark basin]

funnily enough my OOP part of the interview was basically writing embedded code

[ivory ocean]

lol

[safe grove]

I put Yes since idk how they would react if I said No

[stark basin]

what's enumerate and when would you use it
would you use mutable object in default argument
what are magic methods and when would you use it
what is 'with', what does it does, and when would you use it
what are decorators and when would you use them
what are map, filter, reduce and when would you use them
how would you get a list of even numbers in reverse
what are defaultdicts and when would you use them

etc

etc

[drifting wharf]

Oh damn, okay

That's a lot more specific than I expected

[stark basin]

basically yeah

[steady crow]

So in general the python process is kinda easier than the Cpp one then ?

[stark basin]

never took the C++
but i'm assuming so

[drifting wharf]

Python trivia seems like a really weird hill to die on though

[sinful locust]

which company?

[stark basin]

akuna

[steady crow]

i havent applied cuz idk python well enough comapred to cpp but i have ZERO os/systems knowledge so basically i cant apply for both

[sinful locust]

bruh i shud apply

[drifting wharf]

I feel like none of these questions are particularly indicative of strong underlying ability?

[stark basin]

same except reversed for Python

[sinful locust]

i be writing python on a daily basis

[stark basin]

well you want to know Python well if you're gonna be a Python dev

that's the first stage

they test underlying ability in the final

[sinful locust]

yo

where the FUCK

is my amaozn confirmation

[stark basin]

you've slipped between the cracks

[sinful locust]

ik like 4 other people

who haven’t gotten their confirmation yet

WHAT THE FUCK IS AMAZON DOING

i lowkey don’t wanna apply anywhere else

i just wanna land amazon and wrap up summer 2023

[craggy barn]

I just wanna get this done before school starts i cba with the stress

[quaint bolt]

I just want a cat

[hallow scroll]

[sinful locust]

if they delay our interviews

if my interviews r in firts week of school

gonna be mad

[soft basin]

same

i purposely tried to avoid doing these the first week of classes

[sinful locust]

bro FUCK THAT

FUCK THAT

[pseudo shoal]

better than mid-way through semester

[sinful locust]

im going to mexico a week before school starts

[pseudo shoal]

first week u don’t do anything

[sinful locust]

I AINT DOIN' SHIT

[pseudo shoal]

my family really needs it

[pseudo shoal]

all inclusive

[sharp yew]

I havent. I think no one have

[sinful locust]

no ik a couple of people have

[sinful locust]

we bout to get phat

everyone who were in our wave havent gotten final confirmation

some interviewers are slow to submit their feedback

oh

das sum major bullshit

[sharp yew]

I mean this

[sinful locust]

ya

i got it

[sharp yew]

Reallyyyyy. When is your interview?

[sinful locust]

no

i got what ur saying

[pseudo shoal]

i’m wave after u and we got email no confirmation

Just wait 2 weeks

[pseudo shoal]

@amazon one less person

[sharp yew]

Oops

[soft basin]

what?

[fleet dew]

is that still on time to apply amazon and get oa u guys

[soft basin]

amazon is rolling admissions dawg

apply asap and wait for oa

this rolling admissions bullshit really be giving me flashbacks to college apps

[kindred tundra]

guys what’s better than google besides quant

[sharp yew]

I want winter how to let them (Amazon) know that

[kindred tundra]

looking for internship

[sinful locust]

Amazon

[stark basin]

you could get an internship doing laundry
internship is pretty general

[sinful locust]

Capital One

[stark basin]

[sand pendant]

should have put that as first pref when applying

[kindred tundra]

[sinful locust]

[kindred tundra]

ig stupid questions get stupid answers

[drifting wharf]

Unicorns

[soft basin]

sex

grass

[drifting wharf]

An untested theory, I'm sure

[soft basin]

🍃

[kindred tundra]

how many leetcodes for sex?

[white zinc]

69

[long slate]

That’s a leetcode extra hard

[hallow scroll]

You tell them when you get the offer

[sharp yew]

Oh no I thought I will have more chance because no one want winter 😭

[hallow scroll]

We got this 🙏

[steady crow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/comments/wey0rd/i_cracked_faang_nasa_and_northrop_grumman_in_my/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Bruh Nasa his spring freshman, Northrop freshman summer, Amazon sophomore fall

Fucking legend

[sinful locust]

@amber cloud

[amber cloud]

hi 😄

🙏 got good rng

[soft basin]

what company?

[muted summit]

whatd you get asked @amber cloud

[amber cloud]

which company?

[soft basin]

what company did u get offer from?

[muted summit]

amazon

[amber cloud]

for amazon i got a custom implementation probelm (with multiple followups) that needed a hashmap

i finished early and got asked another leetcode q

[muted summit]

was it like the implementapi question

[amber cloud]

LOL that was the leetcode q

[muted summit]

LOOL

[amber cloud]

not really api, it had to deal with managing accounts + emails

[muted summit]

was it like register login logout?

[amber cloud]

so u can see why a hashmap would b useful

[sinful locust]

How u get both

[muted summit]

given a list of string actions

[amber cloud]

uhh im not too sure, maybe

[sinful locust]

Man’s reneged google for amazon

[muted summit]

yea i got that one before

[soft basin]

that was on my oa

[sinful locust]

LMAO

[muted summit]

same

[sinful locust]

WaterEater goog reneged

[muted summit]

i got it on the OA

[soft basin]

such an easy question

[sinful locust]

Water eater what’s dream company for you

[muted summit]

this year?

[soft basin]

just use hashmap and hashset

[sinful locust]

Coinbase

[sinful locust]

What question

[muted summit]

the amazon implement api q

[sinful locust]

Implement api?

Is it on b75

[soft basin]

an amazon oa questiin

can’t say anymore than that

[sinful locust]

Ah ok im not even in amazon process

They hate me for some reason

[devout fractal]

Ye this was the api LC easy for me

[soft basin]

i surprisingly reached final round

[sinful locust]

Noodles cracked

Y’all getting amazon finals like crazy holy crap

[soft basin]

i don’t really think it’s hard to get amz final round

[sinful locust]

I can’t even get oa from them

[soft basin]

it’s harder to get the oa 😭

[devout fractal]

^imma get boned in final

[sinful locust]

They despise me

[plush flume]

when u apply

me too

[sinful locust]

I applied like 3 weeks ago

[plush flume]

i got reffered too

[soft basin]

all u can do is wait

[sinful locust]

Same

[devout fractal]

Should come soon

[sinful locust]

Lmao

[soft basin]

i applied like june 25

and got oa july 18th

[sinful locust]

Hmm ok

[devout fractal]

I applied like early july

[sinful locust]

I probably applied like July 10 or smth

[devout fractal]

I think I applied like a week before

[soft basin]

and i have final sometime next week

[muted summit]

debating when to apply bc i got rejected march 9th for last summer

[sinful locust]

Bro i swear serialize and desiaralize tree should not be an LC hard

[soft basin]

hopefully they respond

[soft basin]

it’s hard imo

divide and conquer is hard to code up

[sinful locust]

Why are you doing divide and conquer for that one

[devout fractal]

Honestly I don't mind if they delay mine, more time to grind

[soft basin]

for me at least

[sinful locust]

Level order is so much more intuitive

How does divide and conquer even work for that one

Do you like split it in half and record the data

Oh well ig i see

[soft basin]

wait i was thinking of pre order traversal oops

[sinful locust]

Oh yeah dont do that

[soft basin]

it’s another problem

[sinful locust]

Actually you can’t do that

It’s just a binary tree

Preorders dont uniquely define binary trees

[sinful locust]

Oh yeah this one was harder

[soft basin]

building balanced bst from in order and pre order traversal i think

[sinful locust]

Oh is that divide and conquer

[soft basin]

yep

[sinful locust]

How to learn divide and conquer

[soft basin]

the middle value for each side will always be a root node of the subtree

[midnight grove]

how long is cooldown if i fail amazon finals

[sinful locust]

Oh yeah I remember it

It was weird af

You have to recurse right

[soft basin]

i can’t code it up but i get it conceptually 😭

[sinful locust]

Yeah

It’s on b75 right

Yes

[soft basin]

divide and conquer is always recursive w the exception of binary search iterative

[sinful locust]

I always do

I’m able to get past quant screen but not amazon

@hearty river just give me offer already

I want river trading

[uneven sand]

You’re too good for amazon

[sinful locust]

@hearty river did u do intern presentation yet

Nah

[hearty river]

No

[sinful locust]

If amazon gives me LC hard it is in the air

[uneven sand]

don’t let bezos lick your balls

[sinful locust]

Lol

Nice

[soft basin]

if this happens i’m jumping off the top floor of my apartment

[sinful locust]

Return offer?

[sinful locust]

Figuratively right

[soft basin]

literally

[sinful locust]

Wtf

No not literally

😭

[soft basin]

in front of my interviewer

[sinful locust]

Noooooooo

[soft basin]

🤣🤣🤣

[uneven sand]

ban who?

[sinful locust]

Can’t screenshot fast enuf

[uneven sand]

L

[sinful locust]

W

[sinful locust]

Did u see twitter

Theyre calling bronny and Bryce James “LeSperms”

😭

[uneven sand]

LeGenetics

[hallow scroll]

yo

[sinful locust]

Bryce is tall now

YO

How is intern project Mr Juster

[uneven sand]

is it from that video of the them dunking

[sinful locust]

Yeah

Probably

[hallow scroll]

I’m leetcoding

[sinful locust]

What problem

[hallow scroll]

Lru cache

[sinful locust]

Nice

[plush flume]

yall think i should just review all of b75 instead of doing new problem for now. its been like 3 weeks

[sinful locust]

Yea review it

Just conceptually solve, do time complexity analysis

And you’ll be fine

[drifting wharf]

Twitter? What happened

Oh, lmaoo

[crisp berry]

does Intuit have auto OA

[mellow gust]

i dont think so

[sinful locust]

Lmaooo

[crisp berry]

whats so funny

[hallow scroll]

Imc must have a really low bar for the virtual phone thing

I got like 3 test cases passing on the hackerrank and I was tired so I just closed out and got rejected, so the video thing isn’t auto

[random sonnet]

i think bar for imc video is 1 question

i think everyone who got it solved first one at least

[hallow scroll]

Yeah I only did half of q1 💀

[thin prawn]

Did sentry close?

[hallow scroll]

Yeah facts I’m too dumb for quant

[tardy ridge]

anyone apply to inuit

and get OA

i just applied rn lol

or oracle

[thin prawn]

applied but didnt get anything yet

did they send you oa?

[tardy ridge]

nah

i like applied 2 mins ago

wait for oracle or intuit

[thin prawn]

intuit

[tardy ridge]

oh also random, has anyone here gotten microsoft phone call or OA already

ik it only released yesterday, and their process is long but still curious

[thin prawn]

Nope and I applied yesterday

[tardy ridge]

hm i think i probably should

im just so scared

[thin prawn]

i dont think they even started looking at apps

unlikely

is it true msft referrals dont do anything?

[tardy ridge]

yea ive heard from many people they dont

[thin prawn]

Cuz I got referred last year and didnt even get interview

[tardy ridge]

i saw somewhere on linkedin that they dont even look at referrals

[thin prawn]

Damn wtf

[tardy ridge]

and someone on reddit was saying that some engineers were complaining that their referrals dont matter

ye msft weird

[thin prawn]

lmao they dont wanna pay bonuses for referrals probably

[ivory ocean]

Wait OA2 isn't auto?

for IMC

[soft basin]

their good wlb is enough for me

[tardy ridge]

is OA1 auto for IMC?

[hallow scroll]

Yee

[tardy ridge]

oh is it hard

[ivory ocean]

Where Amz final confirmation

[hallow scroll]

It’s not auto but they have a low bar

[tardy ridge]

i remember asking yesterday, forgot what it was like lol

[ivory ocean]

interesting

well the second i submitted my video thing I was rejected

[hallow scroll]

Sadge

[ivory ocean]

like too fast for someone to have even checked it

[tardy ridge]

is their OA leetcode

or is it smth else

[ivory ocean]

so it must be like sometimes they send oa2 auto

sometimes no

[sinful locust]

Anyone know how much Freddie Mac pays

And if it’s even worth doing their video oa shit

[tardy ridge]

is it auto?

[sinful locust]

Idk I just got it but I’ve never heard of them in my life

[tardy ridge]

well they essentially caused the 2008 housing crisis

[hallow scroll]

Pog

[ivory ocean]

what a chad move

[sand pendant]

no

[random sonnet]

anyone know approximate codesignal bar for roblox

[sand pendant]

840+

[tardy ridge]

does capital one send rejection email

i didnt do too well on their codesignal

[fleet dew]

Why amazon send me survey instead of oa 😦

[sand pendant]

same

[random sonnet]

lol shit i have an 839 previous

guess i need to retake

[tough ledge]

i’ve gotten 6 surveys since 7/7

[sand pendant]

nah you should be good

[plush flume]

Just did JPMC OA

Was light

[fleet dew]

Can I dm you to ask about jpmc questions mate

[slow quarry]

@amber cloud holy fuck ur getting shat on csmajors

fuck em tho tbh

said he got a good # of internships as a freshman

and then getting shat on bc he changed grad date

but the only reason non targets can survive is bc of changing grad date or they wont get looked at

top of r/csmajors

[coarse marten]

Who doesn't change they grad date

[hallow scroll]

If I made a post like that I’d get shat on too lol

Non target moment

[cyan garnet]

should I make a post

[gloomy gust]

Anyone got Amazon interview confirmation?

[coarse marten]

You stopped

?

Yes

That's why you need to spread

Over time

[stark basin]

i grinded leetcode daily for like 10 days and I've never wanted to die more than I did at the end of that

[coarse marten]

Like 1/2 lc a day

[stark basin]

like I wanted to puke just seeing code

[coarse marten]

You stopped

It's not spreading

It's stopping

Jkjk

I'm messing with you

why is Microsoft rejecting sooo quick wtfff

[cyan garnet]

i wanna learn c++

i wanna be goated

[coarse marten]

I used to be impressed when someone said they worked at Google. However lately so many people are getting offers (even the not-so-competent people I know) that it has lost its luster for me. When someone tells me they got an offer I no longer have the presumption that they’re really smart. The IBM-ification of Google has begun.

I know the bar has been lowered for Meta too (happened only after I got here) but it really seems like Google has given up any semblance of exclusivity.

TC: 300k

[stark basin]

this but Amazon

[solar axle]

did you guys get a confirmation after sharing GCA to instabase

[stark basin]

[solar axle]

how long did it take to get phone

[coarse marten]

That's not true

[hallow scroll]

I thought reneging was bad till I did it

Yeah

[cyan garnet]

why renege

bad

companies dont give a shit bout you

[hallow scroll]

Then you get greedy 😈

[noble ore]

oh bet can i dm u questions about it

[coarse marten]

@slow quarry how many companies will you renege this season?

6?

[amber cloud]

ya go ahead

yea cscareers.dev >>>>>>> csmajors

[cyan garnet]

[coarse marten]

You need to fix a goal mr dracos

[coarse marten]

[hallow scroll]

[coarse marten]

We live the grind

[frail cape]

Reneging all top quant firms for Amazon

[tardy ridge]

do most people who get over 700/710 on codesignal get final interview at c1?

[coarse marten]

720 is bare minimum

I would say

[hallow scroll]

Someone in here got through with a 550

[fierce token]

goat

answer 1 but get one test case passing

[thorn anchor]

yea isnt minimum 600

for submitting

[hallow scroll]

550 or 650 I forgor but c1 has a really low code signal bar

[fierce token]

and then sleep for 90 minutes before submtting

[hallow scroll]

Lmaoo

[fierce token]

It's definitely 650

[coarse marten]

550/1200 maybe

[fierce token]

yeah but they probably attempt q3/q4 and waste time, getting a low 650

yea more dsa for you

[stark basin]

q1 q2 is FizzBuzz level

[acoustic citrus]

yea i got tht email too, did u get oa?

[golden root]

No, did u?

[acoustic citrus]

no, i msged recruiter and she said check spam. but wasnt there still

[hallow scroll]

Sentry recruiter really spammed me 4 times on untapped just to not give me OA

Nope

Pog

[sinful locust]

They just passing ur resume around so everyone can make fun of it

[noble ore]

i tried that lol

mans connected with me and didnt respond to my message

[sinful locust]

Me too

I followed Neetcode a path

[coarse marten]

Neetcode did exactly c1 -> unemployment -> G

[sinful locust]

I skipped the second step

[fierce token]

hol' up Juda you're a mod now?

[hallow scroll]

Yeah I’m trying to get them as a backup for summer 23

[fierce token]

[coarse marten]

You said you don't care

[hallow scroll]

Changed my mind

[fierce token]

Juster goated

[hallow scroll]

I think slack safe but wanna be safe

Coinbase and bitgo gave me ptsd

[hallow scroll]

No u 😩

[drifting wharf]

Wait, how much

[fierce token]

Coinbase gave us heart palpitations frfr

[drifting wharf]

Is Levels accurate

[hallow scroll]

Facts

[coarse marten]

How to be a chad like you mr juda and mr juster

[fierce token]

Steven lost 16 years of his life from that one month

[sinful locust]

Don’t get too comfy with coinbase, they can still rescind

[frail cape]

Coin(not)based

[sinful locust]

They’ll rescind on your start date

[frail cape]

[hallow scroll]

Yeah but it’s so unlikely at this point, it’s like 10 interns LOL

[fierce token]

there's 25 someone renege'd yeah lmao

[hallow scroll]

And they’re team matching us already

[fierce token]

summer intern class was like 100

[drifting wharf]

Ah, seems about right

[sinful locust]

Look on levels

[drifting wharf]

The numbers on Levels are so wack

[versed rivet]

talked with recruiter today

sf is kinda good

[hallow scroll]

Fr

[drifting wharf]

Can't tell if some of them are stipend included

[coarse marten]

No u

I'm ugly

[sinful locust]

Show

Juda

[hallow scroll]

U guys are both sexy

[sand pendant]

where is this ss from?

[versed rivet]

talking with recruiter today after offer

[sand pendant]

this is new grad salary right?

[versed rivet]

intern

[drifting wharf]

Annualized intern salaries

[sand pendant]

oh I see

how much is it per hour then?

let's say for SF

[drifting wharf]

Divide by 4 or 3 for your pay

[hallow scroll]

Intern annualized is save as full time

[sand pendant]

that is the scam

[versed rivet]

its like 69-70

for sf at least

[fierce token]

we saw your photos fam that's cap

[coarse marten]

It's called pro rata btw

[drifting wharf]

Has anyone actually talked to C1 full-times

[coarse marten]

I didn't

[drifting wharf]

I've only ever heard about how much of a bait they are

[fierce token]

not our fault you left Hayden's server

[drifting wharf]

Where can one find these photos 👀

Oh, that's true. But like whatev

Shit company

[tardy ridge]

What’s like a good score then

For C1 code signal

[drifting wharf]

That's just the GCA, right?

[tardy ridge]

Yea

[random sonnet]

isnt bar 700+ for c1

[tardy ridge]

Idk

I’m hoping it’s not higher lol, I did terrible on the GCA

[random sonnet]

ive seen some ppl say they moved on with 600+ too

[tardy ridge]

Oh dam

[random sonnet]

i think they resume screen after

since OA is auto

[tardy ridge]

Shit

[random sonnet]

so pray they like ur resume

[drifting wharf]

GCA is actually worthless though

[tardy ridge]

Yea I feel most people get above 700

Or idk my headass barely did, so I’m assuming it isn’t that a big feat to get above 700

[soft basin]

is c1 really that easy for finals

?

[uneven gull]

it's not

last year was a leetcode hard

[soft basin]

😔

[ivory ocean]

[sinful locust]

Amazon pulling a google rn

[hallow scroll]

[sinful locust]

Congrats on Amazon

this roblox thing is cancer

[hallow scroll]

bruh

one of my asana interviewers went to MIT and was at meta/google for years and the other one makes database designing tools for fun

[drifting wharf]

Nuts

How tf are you supposed to update your Amazon application resume

[sinful locust]

please where is mine

They said they’ll open apps in late august

So you can apply now on greenhouse

They said they’ll consider those apps, but only come late august

I emailed recruiter asking to expedite process and they got back to me with this ^

[rugged knoll]

Whats a good LC studyguide?

Rn im doing NeetCode 150, wondering if you guys have used good resources

[frail cape]

Just got two hards and one medium LCs for Akuna

[stark basin]

[frail cape]

I gave up

[soft basin]

i finally solved a bs linkedlist prob on my own 😭

god i hate this sm

[fleet dew]

I heard akuna pay really high so that’s why they gave us evil oa

[white urchin]

For intern yes

[steel hemlock]

first ones are always the hardest, it gets easier

[soft basin]

i can easily solve reverse linkedlist

and the merge two linkedlist

[steel hemlock]

yeah those are foundational questions. Most med/hard questions will use concepts from those questions

[sinful locust]

😭

[steel hemlock]

the only other concept u really need is slow and fast pointers for linked lists tbh

[soft basin]

yep ive heard of that

i use that technique to reach middle of linkedlist

or to find cycle

fuck that one

[steel hemlock]

haven't heard of that one

[soft basin]

i think i use hashmap on that one

yes it is dawg 🤣

make a deep copy first

then with reference to each node we then do the linking

[mystic depot]

bruh i forget to do this in so many situations, like in a backtracking algorithm lol

[sinful locust]

Yeah the recursive is elegant but still o(n) space

[steel hemlock]

holy shit this question is retarded

[sinful locust]

For what company

[stark basin]

the O(1) space is possible but the fact that the function is called "copyRandomList"
why would you mutate the argument

[mystic depot]

yooooooo i did this, but i had O(N) memory lol 😭

[soft basin]

O(N) memory is easier solution

[mystic depot]

used a hashmap, tbf i dont think my solution was that bad

[soft basin]

O(1) memory is fuckin hard as shit

[mystic depot]

it was clear and concise and i was able to explain my solution

[sinful locust]

What company.

[mystic depot]

u tried the one with the BST random pointer

im sure its called that lol

[soft basin]

facebook is top one for that

and amazon is second

[atomic willow]

hows it goin b ro

[steel hemlock]

yo I don't even get what the question is asking lmaio

so if they do Solution(head) we just update the list to head? or prepend it?

[mystic depot]

create a deepcopy of the linked list essentially, however u also have to copy the other links within the list as it doesn't just contain a next pointer

[sinful locust]

U have to copy the random pointers as well

[mystic depot]

ye

[sinful locust]

Btw where my Amazon 🙃

[mystic depot]

first time i ever heard about deep copy doing this lc

[sinful locust]

😩

Ur at meta rn?

[mystic depot]

u gotta present as well, or just make the powerpoint

[steel hemlock]

how tf does "Given a singly linked list, return a random node's value from the linked list. Each node must have the same probability of being chosen." == make a deep copy lmfao

[mystic depot]

gl gl u got this

[mystic depot]

that doesn't sound like the same question we were talking about

ye

[steel hemlock]

oh well that explains a lot

[mystic depot]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

how many people u gotta do it in front of

[steel hemlock]

oh this is like the graph deep copy question

[mystic depot]

https://tenor.com/view/bacoco-cat-cats-fr-fr-ong-ong-gif-25098850

bruh thats like 20 times as many people employed where i work

[steel hemlock]

At my internship rn we have to present to high ranked managers and execs lol

🔥

sounds sick

[mystic depot]

u got this, secure that return offer

LOOOOOOL

[steel hemlock]

i reneged amazon lol

a fruit company

[ocean relic]

mango?

[steel hemlock]

more crunchy

[willow canopy]

Apple

[ocean relic]

strawberry?

[mystic depot]

Banana

[ocean relic]

banana republic?

[steel hemlock]

yes

[ocean relic]

develop bloons tower defense 10

[steel hemlock]

i wonder if i am blacklisted, i heard they dont give af about interns reneging

[soft basin]

they have so many fucking interns

i doubt they give a shit

[steel hemlock]

yeah same

prolly wouldn't take it tho, I want a Unicorn or startup

rather go back to Apple than Amazon tbh

mhm, depends

u will probably get paid more at Unicron

[frail cape]

Big tech better to learn best practices imo

[mystic depot]

ngl its a vibe being on the blacklist tbf

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-bart-vibe-groove-dance-gif-5472520

[steel hemlock]

eh idk about that, very team dependent

[willow canopy]

How many days do you guys usually do tagged before a final?

[hidden gust]

on that day.

i usually only check answers

[weak wadi]

nani?

were they a superstar intern?

unsurprised then

I sort of assumed that Meta's announcement that they're freezing return offers till they analyze their fiscal year budget meant that Superstars get return offers

and then the rest of them are based off the budget

[hidden gust]

how? did his/her manager override something?

[weak wadi]

nah it's just the quota

just because hiring is slowing down doesn't mean tech companies don't need more employees

[mystic depot]

yoooooooooooooo, i kinda heard about this

[weak wadi]

so it'd be best to get the 'creme de la crop' of Meta interns

aka the superstars

[mystic depot]

ngl i think its for the best of the best, the top candidates lol

[weak wadi]

and deal with the interns with normal performances later on

if they've got the budget for it

[mystic depot]

it would make sense because it wouldn't make sense for meta to see some of the best talent and then just pass on them for a year

[weak wadi]

yep

[mystic depot]

those people will end up leaving to other companies leaving meta without lol

[weak wadi]

made my first pr

hope i dont bring down prod

[mystic depot]

kinda surprised they are slowing down, but they have had it really rough this year so i guess it does make sense

[weak wadi]

most companies are slowing down

[mystic depot]

ye

[weak wadi]

Google recently had a memo wondering why they've got so many employees and not enough performance

[mystic depot]

im not too worried, these companies aren't going anywhere, they will defo increase hiring again as soon as possible imo

[weak wadi]

same

they're still hiring interns

hopefully by 2024 we're chillin

[mystic depot]

big up graduating in 2 years

https://tenor.com/view/mike-love-gif-20694670

[mystic depot]

pray fr, if this lasts till 2024 then we gonna have worse things to worry about

[fickle ivy]

is meta open

[fickle ivy]

[weak wadi]

fr tho

[fickle ivy]

[weak wadi]

ill have to settle for a non-FAANG if that happens

[fickle ivy]

[fickle ivy]

[mystic depot]

tbf i was hyped for faang but now i dont really mind to be honest as long as its better than what i currently have

[weak wadi]

what do you currently have

[fickle ivy]

[weak wadi]

palantir?

[fickle ivy]

[mystic depot]

real bad

[fickle ivy]

jk
