weak wadi
#

good wlb is all that matters in a job

#

good wlb is all that matters in a job

sinful locust

no.

pseudo shoal
#

free food at the job is god tier

weak wadi
#

i only get subsidized food

stark basin
#

Amazon no free food

sinful locust
#

WHAT

mystic depot
sinful locust

That’s why chick fil a on top

pseudo shoal
#

free banana is good

stark basin
#

no free meals

weak wadi
#

i hear the bananas at amazon are pog tho

mystic depot
weak wadi
#

Microsoft has free drinks but we only have subsidized food

sinful locust
#

sap is like a fraction of amzn and they give free food

weak wadi
#

so like 50-75% discount

coarse marten
#

anyone recently solved a question on codesignal related to counting submatrices containing 0s and 1s?

stark basin
#

the free meals went to the inflated paycheck at Amazon

weak wadi
#

I hear that MSFT in california has free food

stark basin
coarse marten
#

no

#

it is not

weak wadi
#

sounds like a regex

stark basin
mystic depot
#

i swear it is, i seen an lc with that

stark basin
sinful locust
#

doesnt sound like dp

coarse marten
mystic depot
coarse marten
#

the problem is like:

You are given an abstract grid of 0s and 1s and a list of coordinates representing 1s in the abstract grid.
You need to find the occurences of each possible counts of 1s of 2x2 submatrices in the grid
sinful locust
#

bfs

coarse marten
#

it's not bfs

sinful locust
#

2d grid ✅
count sth ✅

#

sounds a lot like bfs imo

coarse marten
#

it is not

sinful locust
mystic depot
#

bruh i been looking loool

#

ye nah its not the same

coarse marten
#

the ones in your grid

mystic depot
#

kinda similar tho

sinful locust
#

i have absolutely no idea how to solve this

#

monkas

stark basin
mystic depot
#

ye thats what i was thinking about

coarse marten
#

you need to find the number of 2x2 submatrices containing 0 one, 1 one, 2 ones, 3 ones, 4 ones

fickle ivy
#

brute force too slow

#

i feel

mystic depot
fickle ivy
#

def feels like dp to me

stark basin
#

it's only 2x2

fickle ivy
#

only 2x2?

stark basin
#

brute force that baby

fickle ivy
#

then brute force

#

yeah

#

just hard implementation

coarse marten
#

wdym by bruteforce? create the 2d grid. It would TLE for sure

stark basin
#

sliding window yeah

fickle ivy
#

well

#

is a matrix sliding window

#

a kernel kermit_think

#

im a machine learning intern now

#

im using big words

#

prob like 150

stark basin
#

you're a big boy

fickle ivy
#

yeah

#

doesnt gca have

#

smol numbers

#

or am i confusing myself

coarse marten
#

10^5 for coordinates

#

so creating the 2d grid would TLE

devout jewel
#

@gentle latch what's the TC like for FB return offer

coarse marten
#

you need to find the number of 2x2 submatrices containing 0 one, 1 one, ..., 4 ones

#

array of length 5

mystic depot
#

ngl this on a codesignal is kinda rough especially when speed is really important

mystic depot
coarse marten
#

sig is not GCA

#

it's pretty ez

mystic depot
fickle ivy
#

sig is not codesginal

mystic depot
fickle ivy
#

gca = codesignal

#

sig is a custom gca

coarse marten
#

General Coding Assessment, 4 random questions from codesignal bank

#

sig is 2 or 3 questions

mystic depot
#

oooooooooh thats interesting i didn't know there was a difference

#

thanks for the heads up

#

bruh i wish i was in this server, this time last year, bruh i was such a noob

coarse marten
#

I tried putting all my coordinates in a hashmap and compute the occurences in a smart way. I probably messed up in the implementation. My solution was like 70+ loc

#

written in ts

#

yes

#

coordinates = [[0, 0], [1, 0], [0, 1]]

#

yes it will

#

mr juda

#

help me

sinful locust
#

What is greatly exceeds

coarse marten
#

mr Juda, I need you

#

I got smashed by q4 on codesignal

#

Yes that's what I did, hashset no hashmap

#

it's done

#

I'm not cheating

fickle ivy
#

that's it?

#

i thought meta was 200 base

#

for full time

coarse marten
#

I only used 1 set

fickle ivy
#

ig im delusional

hallow scroll
#

bruh what

#

no company is 200 base new grad LOL

fickle ivy
#

MM?

#

js?

#

how much is js base new grad

hallow scroll
#

well yeah other then trading firms

fickle ivy
#

wait but like

#

dyk the numbers

#

on js new grad

coarse marten
#

you can compute this

#

2x2 submatrix

#

not nxn

fickle ivy
#

wait

coarse marten
#

anyway, I accept the L

fickle ivy
#

if its 2x2 why no just do a dp

#

actually that wont be efficient right

hallow scroll
#

in terms of tech companies I dont think it goes over 200k base NG

fickle ivy
#

425...

#

apparently

fickle ivy
#

thats got to be cap

coarse marten
#

Yes, that's what I also did

coarse marten
#

maybe

fickle ivy
#

jane street please chupapi prayge

coarse marten
#

Idk

#

complexity should be O(C) where c is the number of coordinates

#

why log?

#

I'm sure you don't need to sort

eternal hornet
#

I swear, every time I open this channel, I get a small anxiety attack, lmao.
“What is everyone talking about”
“Wtf, I don’t know this”
“Fuck, I’m so behind. I’m so screwed”

fickle ivy
#

lmfao so true

coarse marten
#

let's say your currentCoordinate == [rowIndex, colIndex], you can compute the 4 submatrices containing rowIndex and colIndex with +1 or -1

clever grail
#

in conclusion

#

skill issue

coarse marten
#

I know that, but there is a way to avoid counting duplicates

#

basically

#

I'm not that dumb

#

you consider top and bottom sumatrices

#

you count only top submatrices where the numberOfOnes == 1

#

you count bottom submatrices normal way

#

4 for every row, col (topLeft, topRight, bottomLeft, bottomRight)

#

yeah

#

You don't count top submatrices where the number of ones is != 1

#

we only care about 2x2

#

not 9x9

#

you also do boundary check

#

my general idea was to compute 4 submatrices (or less for coordinates on borders)

#
[[1, 1, 1],
[1, 1, 1],
[1, 1, 1]]
#

the output should be [0, 0, 0, 0, 4]

#

only 4 2x2 sumbatrices are valid

#

I considered every 4 corners

#

but I see my mistake now

#

basically when rowIndex == 1 || colIndex == 1 || rowIndex == numberOfRows - 2 || colIndex == numberOfColumns-1, you need to consider top submatrices. I forgot this case sadge

#

it took me 70-80+ loc

#

so not ez for implementation

#

and conceptually, I don't find it ez neither

#

it's not like q1, q2

#

Does anyone have insight into how much TC Palantir gave it's new hires this year ?

coarse marten
#

I'm not sure to follow you

fickle ivy
#

i didnt get anything

sinful locust
#

huh

#

where

coarse marten
#

I think it will not work.
Consider:

[[0, 0, 0],
[0, 1, 0],
[0, 0, 0]]
sinful locust
#

I appled verkada

#

didnt hear back

coarse marten
#

it should return [0, 4, 0, 0, 0]

sinful locust
#

whati svery easy

#

like lc easy?

#

LC easy, LC easy, LC medium

#

LC easy, LC easy, LC medium
LC easy, LC easy, LC medium
LC easy, LC easy, LC medium
LC easy, LC easy, LC medium

#

lyft eta certificate

coarse marten
#

you said: consider each coordinate as the bottom right corner

#

that's why you need to compute all 4 submatrices

white zinc
#

amazon got me fuming right now

coarse marten
#

anyway, I hope no one here will get that q4 again

white zinc
#

i sent their scheduling form with an incorrect date on it and i immediately sent an email to their help email asking that the date be disregarded

#

i got my interview confirmation and it’s that date

#

so now i have an amazon interview in the middle of my c1 final

coarse marten
#

?

white zinc
#

yeah i reached out

#

hopefully they’ll let me

coarse marten
#

no worries

white zinc
#

i might be able to ask them to give me the one hour break an hour in

coarse marten
#

I iterated 2 times, 1 time for building hashset and 1 for computing the 4 submatrices

white zinc
#

true ig

coarse marten
#

I didn't

#

to avoid duplicates, I tried doing the top bottom approach

#

I now see where is my mistake in the deduplication part

hallow scroll
#

deos amazon make you run code

I think I asked but I forgor 💀

thats the only problem

You got this bro

this is what held me back last year. like the fear of fucking up the coding interview

is it auto?

i applied for c++ so hopefully they don't resume reject

sinful locust
#

Yeah

#

When I applied they sent it within 2 seconds

uneven sand
#

issue is that i don't have any c++ experience on my resume

sinful locust
#

(Not for this summer)

#

I don’t think it matters

uneven sand
#

i've only done c++ for leetcode and cp

sinful locust
#

How did you learn cpp

uneven sand
#

it's pretty similar to other languages

sinful locust
#

Idk cpp nor python enough to apply to HRT

uneven sand
#

apply anyway

#

apply c++ bc the application says they have more spots for c++

#

you'll have to do the oa in c++ tho

sinful locust
#

That’s the problem

#

Idk any of the methods

uneven sand
#

i have no clue how good this is lol

sinful locust
#

Ok I’ll use that during interview

uneven sand
#

why not

#

do you want him to fail

#

this is a supportive server

sinful locust
stark basin

cause you're gonna write line by line using that
and who tf writes code line by line without going back and forth

uneven sand
#

i don't have STDs

sinful locust
#

I just need to memorize the methods for the data structures

#

Do you think the interviewer will let me google them

uneven sand
#

if they test stuff like templates im screwed

#

i haven't used templates enough

#

anyway this won't be a problem bc ill get resume rejected

sinful locust
#

Just pray u don’t get templates

#

But u have Jane street

#

What is UB

uneven sand
#

undefined behavior

#

aka C++ specs don't define how it should be dealt with and it's up to the compiler

#

which is bad

#

it could also just mean it's nondeterministic

#

like reading junk memory

sinful locust
#

No

uneven sand
#

probably not

sinful locust
#

But bonus points if u do

#

Yeah @uneven sand

uneven sand
#

im a tech lead at js and it's been a long time since i've done interviews

Do they ask LC shards

uneven sand

i've heard it's mediums

I've heard HRT core dev (c++) has very little growth. Gotta be either algo eng or algo dev to get the big bonuses

uneven sand

but you have to do them fast and correctly

with good quality

sinful locust
#

How fast

#

U do 2 mediums in 30 minutes?

uneven sand
#

that seems kinda slow

sinful locust
#

I can do it fast if I’ve seen the problem

a medium shouldn't take more than 10 minutes

devout fractal
#

so metaverse is just vrchat

shadow python
#

so intern apps have already started closing??

safe grove
#

Which ones

shadow python
# safe grove Which ones

nah i was asking, im new to this and im not entirely sure when applications are opening/closing

safe grove
#

I see. I noticed a few got closed on the PittCSC repo but the only big one afaik is Salesforce

#

Hopefully that one opens again 💀

shadow python
#

idec if it opens or not cuz ik im not getting in LMFAO

safe grove
shadow python
#

i havent even finished my DSA course yet

low vale
#

they don't all close until like may lmaooo

#

you have a long time

shadow python
#

oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

#

im chillin

low vale
#

this is the earliest of the earliest ones

shadow python
#

thats very reassuring

safe grove
#

I heard they closed it for Futureforce conference but that they might open it again soon?

#

Since they were busy hiring people from there

#

I didn't apply since I didn't know they were gonna close it down within a couple days

#

Trying to apply for Nordstrom internship and the only "How Did You Hear About Us" options are campus, job fair, and referral WazowskiStare

proud whale
#

August is here huh

shadow python
proud whale
#

handle it broski

shadow python
#

my dsa summer course gonna end in a couple days

#

and then gotta do some extra dsa shit to really lock it down

proud whale
#

oh that's cool - keeping it fresh in ur head

shadow python
#

yessir

proud whale
#

good luck

#

is it feasible to get an internship with HRT, optiver and stuff with basic software engineer skills? or are they looking for a specific skillset

terse sonnet
#

anyone know when capital one reaches out after the codesignal?

sinful locust
#

like 3 weeks for me

trim vigil
#

did anyone get the predict infecting deer roblox oa

sinful locust
#

yesh

#

that shit was cancer

#

it lagged me out

low vale
#

how much does the roblox gameplay matter lmao

#

im trying to play roblox and get good at it

#

or alright

#

im set for the coding but i don't wanna get fucked because i can't play roblox 💀

proud whale
#

🤣

terse sonnet
#

i fucked up section 1

#

section 2 was ok

proud whale
#

i did this before taking a dsa course

#

this what i used

#

not most ideal bc in JS (u should lc in python) but i found it great otherwise

#

why are you doing C++?

#

L

steady crow
#

i do it in cpp and its fine

#

Like its not that different

#

i mean sure it takes a bit longer

proud whale
#

even in python vs js there's a big difference

#

imo python helps u do a lot of things

#

and thus becomes very helpful for leetcode

#

example u can compare two arrays or dictionaries with equal operators

#

you have things like .isalnum()

#

easy reverses like [::-1]

honest spire
#

ye that's why python is goated

proud whale
#

super quick syntax for things like for num in nums:

low vale
proud whale
#

ik they werent in js

steady crow
#

i mean u have that in most langaugs like cpp its just
for(auto n : nums):

proud whale
#

i also haven't tried doing leetcode much and C++ i've only done C++ in uni and never even seen that for loop structure so take it w a grain of salt

soft mist
#

python is better for annoying string parsing questions

low vale
#

yeah its fine i do c++ too, but when i started i did python

proud whale
#

i can speak to Javascript vs python tho

#

and javascript is straight ass

soft mist
#

also for c++ you can trick the interviewer

proud whale
#

i'm glad i learned C++

#

in Uni

#

good language to know

low vale
#

to get people to drop out

proud whale
#

just python doesn't make u think ab as many things

soft mist
#

and as a follow up change your code to be templated so that everything is done at compile time

proud whale
#

learning C++ made me consider way more ab the code i'm writing

proud whale
#

i woulda never had that in python

#

and tbh woulda been a bigger noob

#

even doing Java now is like oh dope less to worry ab

#

but i appreciated learning C++

steady crow
#

bruh python was confusing to me cuz idk if things are passed by reference or by value and like the idea of most things like strings in python being immutable seems so ineffcieint

proud whale
#

yeah i feel u

#

pass by reference doesn't really exist in python

#

besides arrays or dicts etc

#

u cant "&" something in the param

#

it'll always be by value

#

there are a lot of times where that becomes aids and i wish i could pass by ref

static spindle
#

For capital one, do we just apply to the McLean location, even if we dont want to be in McLean?

proud whale
#

really? why

#

dafuq is in McLean

honest spire
#

so it's prob different

I stay by the 🌴☀️🌊

eternal hornet

I want money

I am broke af and need to pay for college lol

static spindle
eternal hornet
#

But working a side part time job during college to do that has taken away time that could be spent for Leetcode. Working 1 1/2jobs during the summer to do that has take away time that could be used for Leetcode

idgaf about the bay i just want good boba and diverse food 😔

eternal hornet

Lol and industrial area

eternal hornet
proud whale
#

i live in LA

#

and isn't full of techbros

stark basin
#

I live right next to a massive retirement community in socal

proud whale
#

people in LA are much less competitive and more down to earth from my personal experience w/ the bay

stark basin
#

true

proud whale
#

the retirement community thing is just based on which part of LA - idt that's really much of an issue

#

@stark basin are u also from LA?

stark basin
#

I'm in Irvine

proud whale
#

fire

stark basin
#

so 40 minutes away from LA

proud whale
#

yeah lotta my homies went to UCI

#

irvine is great

stark basin
#

a bit boring
but I'll take boring cause its safe

proud whale

Seaside nights 🔥

#

emerald bay beach in Laguna --> Cliff for taco tuesdays are top tier summer vibes

stark basin
#

Laguna Beach is 10/10

#

Newport Beach... not so much

proud whale
#

agreed

#

yeah

#

Laguna might be my favorite beach all time tbh

stark basin
#

Python or C++

#

the detect fraud thing?

#

yeah it's pretty fucky

#

how many test cases did you fail in the end

ocean relic
#

I hate akuna

stark basin
#

you'll probably get phone then
i failed 1 and I have ZERO clue wtf was wrong

#

got phone

static spindle
#

is it leetcode sorta stuff?

stark basin
#

everyone else I've heard who did it failed 1 test case too

stark basin
static spindle
#

what

stark basin
static spindle
#

so, just implementation?

stark basin
#

it's a design problem

#

kind of

static spindle
#

ew

stark basin
#

they push the OOP aspect hard

#

some OOP questions on the phone and then half of the final interview was OOP as well

#

the datetime

#

i will say
leetcode didn't prepare me for Akuna interview
courses and just regular old everyday programming projects did

#

none of that

honest spire
#

o ic, it's basically an ap csa test 💀

stark basin
#

AP CSP is useless

#

i took AP CS A, got the 5, and then somehow forgot every single bit of Java except for "System.out.println"

#

I just remember something about a Scanner

#

colleges don't give a shit about APs
but it sure is nice skipping class prereqs if your school allows them
taking Calc BC saved me like 4 courses

#

CS A saved me 2

#

by credit yeah

honest spire
#

ye same here

#

o like a winter internship

#

ic ic

stark basin
#

UCR is quarter too right

honest spire
#

yup

stark basin
#

not long enough for a winter internship then
we only get like
10 days winter break

#

you get like 2 weeks between fall and winter, 10 days between winter and spring
and then just a long fucking summer

#

still prefer quarter cause you get to take more variety of classes

lc imposible

tardy ridge

Bruh rly

sinful locust
#

nah

#

gca

#

take that how youwill

tardy ridge
#

Oh is a GCA similar to what C1 gives you

#

Or are they all different

sinful locust
#

same

#

if you think you did well enough then send the same score

tardy ridge
#

No I did rly bad lol

#

Roblox wants like 840+ right

#

So essentially they want a perfect score

spark hearth
tardy ridge
#

Somebody said on this discord

#

Idk tho

#

I was thinking thst was rly high lol

willow canopy
#

A lot of people say that Roblox needs 840+

tardy ridge
#

Isn’t 840+ essentially like you perfectly solved everything fairly quickly

sinful locust
#

you probably need all 4

#

but they resume review like jump man said

willow canopy
#

All 4 is 840 tho right?

tardy ridge
#

Hm

#

Yea idk

sinful locust
#

All 4 is 830 and above

#

gca?

#

gca all 4 is 840

#

has to be custom right

drifting wharf
#

What if you get 840+ and have a shit resume

sinful locust
drifting wharf

GG

tardy ridge

Is IMCs OA auto

and for anyone that got it, how long did it take

Oh rip

Mine was definitely auto

spark hearth
#

someone got rejected wo oa

ivory ocean
#

I got it literally 15 seconds after applying

#

unless there's some cracked recruiter

#

well were they a rising sophomore

#

I mean grad year check is still auto id say

plush flume
#

How they score

ivory ocean
# plush flume

tell me why 810 sounds worse than 760 by that description

cinder pilot
#

can confirm

plush flume
#

Ikr

ivory ocean
#

lol 760 is "can develop large scale apps" and 810 is "can implement ideas that don't take too much coding"

plush flume
#

Yea but q4 is much harder

ivory ocean
#

true

plush flume
#

Q3 is easier

#

But ling afff

#

Long

ivory ocean
#

but q3 is usually a huge time sink right

#

yea

plush flume
#

Always go 4th

ivory ocean
#

how long should you attempt q3 for

#

like I know don't write code til you have the solution in your mind

#

but lets say you're done with q1,2,4 in 25 min

plush flume
#

Honestly don’t matter finish 4th

ivory ocean
#

do you then do 3?

#

for like 10?

plush flume
#

720 is like basically 760

#

So might aswell spent all time on 4

#

Till done

ivory ocean
#

Anyone got experience with Jump Trading's intern process

#

and difficulty level

ivory ocean
#

if you get 1,2,4 done

#

and its only been 20 min or so

#

do you spend 15 min on q 3 trying it

#

or just skip it

#

fml

#

ofc

#

man I have a recruiter call w them next wednesday

#

not interview tho

#

do you think they'd give me a diff interview process if I said something like "I aint the best at algo trivia stuff but I can build real applications well"

#

lmao

plush flume
#

But from what I gathered

#

Might aswell try

ivory ocean
#

yeah true

#

I know you shouldn't run test cases unless you're confident

#

because it deducts points for missed tc's

plush flume
#

Cuz like I did practice tests and did that

ivory ocean
#

but doesn't score the tc's if you don't do the q

plush flume
#

But made not too much diff

ivory ocean
#

god dude fuck the interview process

#

really making us fuckin exploit hunt like its destiny 2 or something

plush flume
#

Ong

ivory ocean
#

Gonna upload a video next year

#

"FAANG SPEEDRUN WORLD RECORD - 3 DAYS 12 HOURS AND 36 MINUTES"

#

schedule all my interviews for that tiny time period

plush flume
#

Why do I feel like that would give u a higher chance

ivory ocean
#

lmao

#

it'd be fresh in yo mind

#

only have to be warmed up for 3 days

plush flume
#

At that point I don’t give a fuck and wing it

#

One will work

does anyone have amazon recruiter info for interview scheduling purposes
