This too

[sinful locust]

Did you get the result immediately or wait for some time?

[stark basin]

so it's looking like I'm gonna get an Akuna offer
is there any reason I should take it over Amazon

[sacred seal]

damn congrats

[drifting wharf]

Yoo, very nice

[stark basin]

thankies

[drifting wharf]

Why would you take Amazon over Akuna

[stark basin]

amazon more in line with my future goals

[sacred seal]

akuna prob more selective than amazon

[sinful locust]

Congrats man

[sacred seal]

pretty sure u can jump over to amazon from akuna easier than the other way round

[soft basin]

bro ur the real cracked noodle

[stark basin]

that's probably true

[drifting wharf]

Ah, fair enough. What're your future goals, if you don't mind me asking?

[sacred seal]

be bezos

[stark basin]

[soft basin]

me who can’t even solve koko eating bananas

the doubt is increasing the more i study

god amazon final is gonna be the cause of my insanity

[spark hearth]

is the score out of 50?

i got 49

[stark basin]

chill as SWE at a FAANG or something, make enough to do what I want to do without too much job stress, get transferred back to Taiwan/Japan out of the US after a couple years

[plush flume]

bro

its a full circle

so its out of 100

[spark hearth]

o shit

[sacred seal]

true a trading shop wouldnt give u that flexibility

[stark basin]

if I end up having to find a job in Taiwan/Japan separately I feel like Amazon is more well known
also I know nothing about and have no interest in trading

[spark hearth]

it's out of 100

[topaz drum]

those websites are scam lol

it doesn't show anything about ur resume

[sacred seal]

yea prestige is also another thing to consider i guess, but akuna pays fuck u money so...

[stark basin]

true...

[soft basin]

trading is mad mediocre imo

[sinful locust]

I’d take Akuna

It’s internship

[soft basin]

but take whatever suits u the best dawg

[plush flume]

yea do the updates it states first

[sinful locust]

U can choose ur grad

[stark basin]

imma wait and see how much they're actually gonna pay me but
amazon already kind of pays fuck you money

[plush flume]

acc find a new template

[soft basin]

worst case ask amazon if u can move it winter

[eternal hornet]

What sife is this

*site

[sacred seal]

either pays well thats for sure

[spark hearth]

resumeworded

[stark basin]

what does that mean

[soft basin]

then two internships on ur belt 😈

[sinful locust]

Like with ur skills

U can go wherever

After grad

So I’d just take Akuna

[sacred seal]

yea just go amazon for ng and do akuna intern

[soft basin]

postpone graduation for a bit

[sinful locust]

Plus Akuna more prestige in the us

[soft basin]

do an internship for both winter and summer

[sinful locust]

Yo btw when u got ur amzn offer, could u choose what season?

Like summer or fall

[stark basin]

I do have an application going for that Amazon part time JR Dev thing

[spark hearth]

[drifting wharf]

How long did it take you to get your OA from them @stark basin

[stark basin]

Akuna?
uhhhhhhhhhh lemme check

[tardy ridge]

Yo wtf 2 hours for IMC OA?

Holy shit what do they make you do

[stark basin]

about 5 days after application

[sacred seal]

how long from finals to offer?

[tardy ridge]

For what company

[stark basin]

Akuna

[drifting wharf]

O, okay, awesome. I can stop stressing about being auto-rejected (for now) then XD

Thx!

[stark basin]

[tardy ridge]

You took IMC right

[muted summit]

not bad

[stark basin]

for Akuna I had interview this Monday 9am and got the email saying they want to proceed with processing the offer this morning

[muted summit]

[safe grove]

[plush flume]

bro tiktok cared my resume and LC grind

highly recommend making account just for tech and work

and one for ...

[muted summit]

the impact section on mine me humbled me

gotta re do my resume now

[plush flume]

75 pre good

after like 75 score

its bs reccomended

[muted summit]

is it just inaccurate

[eternal hornet]

same

[safe grove]

I would have like a 90 on resume worded if I just added a few more numbers

[muted summit]

i have like no numbers

[eternal hornet]

what sort of accounts you follow?

[muted summit]

☠️

[spark hearth]

wow

[safe grove]

I heard it's a good idea to have a few quantified bullet points but every bullet point having numbers seems like a lot

[spark hearth]

should i download tiktok again

[stark basin]

thats a mistake

[eternal hornet]

wait, I should apply to tiktok

[plush flume]

just search resume tips in seach and start following

same with tech

[eternal hornet]

i mean I've never had tiktok and I think it's a cancer but money is money

i would sell my soul and dignity for money

[stark basin]

at some point money overrides morals

[plush flume]

i just got IMC OA

tf is a 2hr oa

[eternal hornet]

IMC?

[plush flume]

yea

[eternal hornet]

what is imc

[spark hearth]

imagine dragons

[plush flume]

no idea they pay 75/hr tho

lol

[tardy ridge]

Some trading company that pays crazy

[stark basin]

imagine dragons fell off

[plush flume]

why is it 2 hrs then lol

[drifting wharf]

Excuse me

Sharks is a banger song

[plush flume]

so they hard hard

[stark basin]

you're literally biased

[drifting wharf]

Based*

[stark basin]

if they made a song called Noodles I would probably like it too

[drifting wharf]

They've plenty of sad songs, so... Close enough?

[eternal hornet]

i mean, if it's a trading company...then I think you can guess how hard it is

[stark basin]

[frail cape]

resumeworded is bs

[sharp yew]

If you haven't heard back from Amazon about interview schedule, they just moved me to the week of 15 Aug

[willow canopy]

What days did you give them?

[sharp yew]

They ask me to choose a date again lol

[sand pendant]

just curious what do you guys usually wear for your interviews? Is there a dress code that needs to be followed?

[elfin peak]

Tshirt

[plush flume]

honestly full furry tracket suit combo

[pseudo shoal]

t shirt commando

[sand pendant]

from what i make of your responses, casuals seems to be fine

[elfin peak]

Nobody will care

Seriously lol

We're not investment bankers or smth like that

[plush flume]

when you accidently chuck ur mouse behind you

[sand pendant]

oh okay

[white zinc]

i just do quarter zip

[pseudo shoal]

oops let me bend over and get it

[stark basin]

you could definitely write an absolutely bullshit grammarless resume and tweak out a 100 out of it

I trust grammarly more than that website and that is a low bar

[pseudo shoal]

they just want u to pay

[plush flume]

its good up to score 75

after that its bs

[stark basin]

Akuna asked me what company I received an offer from what do I say

[plush flume]

bro high ballers

get a larger offer'

[white zinc]

shi if they not gonna ask for any proof say jane street or something

[stark basin]

they told me they were "in the process of getting my offer approved by the leadership team" so I don't have a salary comparison or anything yet

so you think I should throw in the salary info as well as saying what company it is rn

65 is already higher though

i'm hoping that's a "no we won't increase your salary" and not "no actually we don't want you"

[tardy ridge]

does akuna start with an OA?

how bad is it lol

for swe intern

[sinful locust]

When did u get a request to schedule interview

[devout fractal]

Yessir

[sharp yew]

I'm complaining lol 😭 haven't chosen anything

[sinful locust]

when did u get interview invitation

[sharp yew]

27th July

[devout fractal]

Oh dang they must be rly backed up

[sinful locust]

fuck i got mine july 29

ill be delayed too >:

[devout fractal]

Cuz a lot of people are in the wave right after on Aug 2nd

[sharp yew]

Fckkkk

[sinful locust]

did they email u

or through portal

[sharp yew]

I emailed them

[devout fractal]

I got mine on Aug 2nd and so did a ton of other ppl who did their OA on the Aug 1st deadline

[sharp yew]

And they told me choose again

[sinful locust]

ah isee

btw how fast do they reply to emails?

[sharp yew]

12 hours ish

[soft basin]

did u get response yet?

after filling out survey?

[devout fractal]

No

But if the other dudes who were ahead of us already back at Aug 15th

[soft basin]

oh shit

[devout fractal]

And a ton of us got it on Aug 2nd, it's only logical to assume late Aug, at least the week of 22nd

For us

[soft basin]

i’m p sure that means there’s no way we have interview next week

[devout fractal]

Yeah

[soft basin]

fuck that means i’m interviewing first week of classes 😭😭

[devout fractal]

Yeaaa loll

[soft basin]

fuck fuck fuck

[sinful locust]

yo why did i get rejected from optiver

[devout fractal]

Imma be the same

[sinful locust]

i got 100% on their oa

[devout fractal]

Gonna just grind a ton now and hopefully cop offer before fall semester rly gets going

[golden root]

I have final on Aug 10th and I got invitation on 27th

[soft basin]

at least my capitalone isn’t delayed tho

[devout fractal]

I think July 29th+ is when a lot of ppl got final requests

[soft basin]

i got mine aug 2

[devout fractal]

So they're prolly rly backed up from then

[sinful locust]

i got mine on friday

[devout fractal]

Yea a lot of us were Aug 2nd

[soft basin]

watch them start rescinding final round interviews

[devout fractal]

Lmao better not

[soft basin]

their process this yr was so short

[golden root]

Does anybody know if you’re supposed to literally name drop leadership principles when telling stories or is it implied

[soft basin]

nah u gotta find a way to relate to them

[devout fractal]

Ppl are saying have a story to tell for each

[stark basin]

you uh
you probably don't want to explicitly say them

[golden root]

Ok lol

[stark basin]

well maybe it wouldn't hurt
I guess that shows you studied

[soft basin]

implicitly relate to it lmao

[devout fractal]

Say "I am very lucky"

[golden root]

“I’m right a lot”

[sinful locust]

itll be pretty ovbiosu what lp the behavioral questions are targetting ive heard

[gleaming tangle]

imc intern - OA when does the link expire ? the mail doesnt state it lol

[soft basin]

one time my teammate and i got in a discourse over who was right with an approach and in the end my approach was correct and we finished the project

🤣🤣

[devout fractal]

Chad

[soft basin]

i will bulllshit the lp portion lol

the technical portion is killing me

don’t blame us blame the system

[devout fractal]

Idc, I want to escape the middle of nowhere Indiana so bad

[soft basin]

i just want a decent internship with good pay for the summer

so i can at least afford rent next yr

[devout fractal]

I literally earn $27 an hr as an ece 😭 I hear all the swe earn like 40+

[soft basin]

most of them earn like 50+

pre tax ofc

[devout fractal]

[fickle ivy]

i got schedule request

[kind sable]

[fickle ivy]

[devout fractal]

Aug 2nd mfs are all waiting

[fickle ivy]

😦

[sharp yew]

Yup

[kind sable]

they probably really backed up rn

so many of us got final invites that day

[kind sable]

o i’ll go check rn

[soft basin]

maybe they fucked up their system

[fickle ivy]

has anyone done optiver trading phone

[kind sable]

[soft basin]

[sinful locust]

[sinful locust]

[fickle ivy]

[fickle ivy]

[kind sable]

i failed oa bad tho

i’ve done like less than 50 lc questions

[stark basin]

[kind sable]

i was surprised when i got final invite

[soft basin]

i’ve just started premium and i hate myself even more

[kind sable]

i just bought premium yesterday

i’m gonna just be grinding out the amazon top 50

[soft basin]

i’ve been grinding binary search topic and i hate it more and more

koko giving me mental illness

as well as median of two sorted arrays

[devout fractal]

I had only 30 LC done for OA, amzn mfs be giving us opportunity 😤

[sinful locust]

koko needs to chill w them banana's

[kind sable]

how are u guys studying for behavioral?

[soft basin]

koko better be good at deep throating all those bananas

[golden root]

The more LC I do the more patterns I realize I have left to learn

[devout fractal]

Yah same

[soft basin]

yep

[kind sable]

did u fill out the survey aug 2 too?

[soft basin]

there’s so many fucking patterns out there

[devout fractal]

Ye

[soft basin]

for the koko problem idek to use binary search until i saw the solution

horrendous

[little vessel]

30 easies?? what was the difficulty distribution?

[devout fractal]

I'm at 50 LC done now, I literally doing 10 LC a day now 😂

[quaint bolt]

just being me

[devout fractal]

30 mediums and hards

[little vessel]

bruh

[soft basin]

don’t measure per day

if ur starting do topic by topic

[kind sable]

there’s literally no way i can study enough to understand all lc

[devout fractal]

I'm doing neetcofe

Dw

[golden root]

I’m at 110 and feel I can do 90% of easy’s and 50% of mediums

[soft basin]

learning topic by topic is helpful to reinforce the learning

[devout fractal]

Yee i usually done multiple topics a day if they're small. I have a Google spreadsheet where i explain the logic for each LC i do and also a good doc with notes of common techniques

[kind sable]

ill probably just do neetcode sorted by topic

and amazon top 50 after

[devout fractal]

That's prolly good enough

[kind sable]

i just want my interview date

i dont think ill be able to finish neetcode tho, but we'll see how many days i have

[rough parcel]

[kind sable]

[stark basin]

Louisiana is ACTUALLY bumfuck

[sinful locust]

Same

[soft basin]

i can only speak and listen

[sinful locust]

Same

[stark basin]

that's enough

[sinful locust]

Chinese symbols r too hard too memorize

For English at least u can sound out the words

[stark basin]

speaking and listening is enough to list it as a skill on resume
they're not gonna make you go through Chinese documents in the US/EU

[soft basin]

i can only have basic convo in mandarin

[sinful locust]

Same

[soft basin]

i also speak a dialect called fujianese

[sinful locust]

Knee how

[soft basin]

whatever it’s called

[sinful locust]

Can u teach my fujianese

Or is it fuzhounese

[soft basin]

i cannot teach it

[sinful locust]

What is it

[soft basin]

like i can comprehend and speak but like i can’t translate well

most of my fuzhounese is cursing ppl out cuz i learned from my dad

[stark basin]

I only know curse words in other Chinese dialects

[soft basin]

gan ni niang

[sinful locust]

Cao ni ma means grass mud horse

[stark basin]

grass mud horse

[soft basin]

ta ma de is my favorite one

i use that all the time during road rage

[stark basin]

I say ta ma de on a daily basis

[sinful locust]

What is ta ma de

[stark basin]

usually followed by "gan"

[soft basin]

for some reason chinese ppl love cursing out other ppls mothers

[stark basin]

ur mum

[stark basin]

we curse every one of their relatives, but just not the person in question

[sinful locust]

[sinful locust]

Is gui pronounced guay

Gway

[noble ore]

yeah

[soft basin]

it directly translates to black monster

[sinful locust]

Like a woo gway

[stark basin]

yea

[spark hearth]

[sinful locust]

What’s leetcode in Chinese

[stark basin]

https://www.lintcode.com/

[sinful locust]

Lmaooo

[plush flume]

lintcode deadly for lc premium questions

u dont have too

I never have

[white zinc]

has anyone done the nro internship or know anyone who’s done it

[plush flume]

just seach the question in google

and not sign up

https://www.lintcode.com/problem/392/

just click the x

[stark basin]

House Robber is a 9/10 problem
House Robber II is a solid 2/10

[soft basin]

i wonder how lintcode hasn’t been taken down yet

[stark basin]

they're based in China I guess

[soft basin]

house robber 2 is just a minor window adjustment

of 1

[spark hearth]

can u teach me dp

[stark basin]

if China gave a shit about copyright and stuff they would have a lot less business going

[soft basin]

i love buying fakes from china

like fake gucci

china is goated for that

[stark basin]

recursion solve it
add a memo
somehow make it 2d
somehow make it 1d

[soft basin]

it’s more 1d lol

[spark hearth]

is this the problem solving procedure?

[soft basin]

i suck at dynamic programming

[sinful locust]

Me too

[stark basin]

some problems can't get to 1d
but yeah that's generally it

[soft basin]

if amazon asks that i may as well electrocute myself

[sinful locust]

Just leave the interviews

[spark hearth]

https://www.lintcode.com/problem/1100/

how to do this?

can I schedule a call w u senpai

[stark basin]

i ain't reading that shit

[spark hearth]

it's not hard to understand

like 1 min

[stark basin]

oh god I just read it

this sounded like greedy but it's dp

[spark hearth]

lol

how does it sound greedy

[stark basin]

portal change to "under review"?
Did interview on Monday, changed to "Moved to different job" on Friday
got offer on Monday

[stark basin]

it sounded to me like there was a way to do the optimal step every turn on first glance on the question

[spark hearth]

but on second glance

how does the dp work in this case

this is too hard

[stark basin]

on second glance you'd probably need a 2d dp array

[spark hearth]

can u donate me some of ur brain

🧠

[sinful locust]

Ask William lin

[stark basin]

if they ask you this on an interview they don't want you working there

[sinful locust]

SadNoodle is Chinese so he is naturally smart

[stark basin]

I said I knew it was DP
i never said I knew how tf to solve it

[spark hearth]

lmfao

I wanna know hoe to approach problems like thsi

[sinful locust]

Brute force it

[soft basin]

knowing dp is diff from knowing how to solve

[sinful locust]

Converting to dp is hard

[spark hearth]

thank you niconi

[sinful locust]

Bro I can’t read textbooks 😭

[spark hearth]

whats the approach to solve coin change?

how would u find the dp solution from scratch

what's the thought process

[sinful locust]

u ignore the path's that are dead ends

[spark hearth]

ok

u have a super massive ego

[stark basin]

let's say the amount you want to get to is 20
you have coins 1, 5, 10

the number of ways you can make 20 is just
1 + number of ways to make 19
1 + number of ways to make 15
1 + number of ways to make 10

[hearty river]

SAD NOODLE

[stark basin]

what did I do

[spark hearth]

true

[sinful locust]

Can someone teach me dp I’m a fast learner

[stark basin]

DP is all about "using previous results to solve current problems"

[sinful locust]

It’s like capital one

[stark basin]

if you have a base case
which would be 0 in the case of coin change, since there's 0 ways to make 0 amount with coins

you can get to every later result

[sinful locust]

Jane street

[thin prawn]

does anybody have grind75 link?

[stark basin]

you could get through with nothing harder than an easier LC medium
or you could have to force your way through with 3 LC extremes

[stark basin]

[plush flume]

bro havent done behavioral yet how many questions do they ask in like a 45 min slot

[stark basin]

2

behavioral is like
10 minutes

[plush flume]

only 2 tf

how

[stark basin]

I guess I talk too much then

I only got 1 coding problem as well

yo my dude had
ZERO interest in my story

[plush flume]

like if they ask a time you failed how long do i got on for

[thin prawn]

thanks a lot

[plush flume]

like 2 mins yea

then expect like follow ups

[stark basin]

my story that I had to PULL OUT OF MY ASS
cause the questions he asked had nothing to do with the dozens of anecdotes I came up with beforehand

[plush flume]

I have like 7 ready rn

[noble ore]

behavioral questions are really just a test of how good u can lie on the spot

[stark basin]

I stretched the fuck out of my story for the second question

[sinful locust]

One time I accidentally use the same story for 2 behavioral questions in the same interview and got rejected

[stark basin]

like
my story was about adding features or finding problems, the own your project thing
the question was about working under a tight deadline and I just added
"yeah the project had a tight deadline" as well to the anecdote

[plush flume]

how have you failed? I created a API Dashboard and saved 50% budget not 60%

I can imagine this lol

[stark basin]

thank god they didn't ask me how I've failed
cause that's the one question I didn't make up a story for

[plush flume]

I just use the example of working in master branch not my own

how much is stretch tho like 3 mins

ok i c

[golden root]

what LC pattern showed up in ur interview ? If u don’t mind

[uneven sand]

tell your recruiter to transfer the offer to me

[stark basin]

hashmap and bin search

[sinful locust]

go do ur OA

[stark basin]

I prayed for no binary search in my coding question and god forsook me

[uneven sand]

i feel like im going to fail the akuna oa

[golden root]

Hmm seems a lot of people are getting bin search. I know someone got LC hard (the two heaps one)

[uneven sand]

also where tf is my Amazon OA

[sinful locust]

On ur offer

[stark basin]

Median of Data Stream is a goated question

I love it

[golden root]

Ye

[plush flume]

when u apply

Got reffered no reponse

yet

[uneven sand]

19th

[plush flume]

for oa

[stark basin]

Median of Two Sorted List is an affront to god

FUCK that question

[plush flume]

doesnt like everyone ask that

[low vale]

I strongly dislike median of two lists

[sinful locust]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_protection

[stark basin]

any LC hard that uses binary search automatically receives my wrath

[uneven sand]

but I’m not getting a return offer

[stark basin]

what's a good LC hard bin search problem

[plush flume]

Amazon or c1? defo amazon yea

I am 2nd year now

[sinful locust]

Nah c1 > amazon

[stark basin]

actually swim in rising water is all right I guess

thats a good question but it's medium

I use heap because I love heaps
but it's not optimal

I don't really like quickselect but I will begrudgingly use it

||Koko can go suck a dick||

also works with heaps

if they ask for good space complexity I will do quickselect

otherwise heap

and anyways good space complexity is assuming you can mutate the argument

[hidden gust]

did anyone get confirmation email for amazon finals?

[stark basin]

@long slate

[long slate]

I like quickselect but the partition step always fucks me

Still can’t implement it correctly

[stark basin]

I use the left pointer right pointer pivot thing

[long slate]

Yeah

[stark basin]

I always have to draw it out on paper first

don't have it memorized

[long slate]

ALWAYS

Diagrams are goated

[stark basin]

fuck you I memorize what I want

[long slate]

Never do lc without a pencil and paper

[stark basin]

yes

you would think

[hoary locust]

One of my friends has a C1 final round, anyone know what he can expect?

Is lc tagged gonna be helpful?

[random sonnet]

lc tagged is the way to go

from what ive seen others say they pull from that

[slow veldt]

@woven quest did you get a response from amzn abt moving ur work term yet

[digital bone]

[slow veldt]

Ight cool, thought they were airing me lmao

Did you accept?

Oh, did you ask to move in the survey then?

I was waiting for an email back before I accept

O wait nvm the survey comes 5days after

My b

I’ll take another look

I think it was vague

Yea you’re prob right, if they don’t hit me back by eod I’ll jus accept

Yea pre-acceptance

Couple days ago

Classic

Buuut

Idk if I believe that

[fickle ivy]
