ya
Camel?
BRKIO][SADFAS
Welp
No AMZ confirmation yet
Interview was supposed to be tomorrow
Safe to say I’ll have to reschedule
Do they have to confirm if they’ve already scheduled it?
amazon cancelled 2023 intern programs
wait what??
LOL

imc oa was bad rip
anyone know if we can google things during Hackerrank assessments?
anyone got chegg lol
cool thanks, do they record on webcam? the email didn't indicate
they dont
no
thanks
Anyone know what to expect for palantir OA?
says build an undirected dependency graph, couldn't find anything online
thats just undirected graph
tree
@elder pumice the undirected graph thing
is that gonna be 3 LC mediums?
is that the 3 LC?
any idea how to prepare for it? is it an OA?
oh so live?
so you never got the graph email?
interesting
maybe my resume wasn't strong enough
it was for intern
ohhh
nice
Anyone have any experience on what JPM OA might ask? LC easies?
i might save it for next week, didn't give me a time limit, so I can practice more
Yes
It’s LC easy, LC easy/med (med is only if you get rnged)
what the fuck is this shit
PNC Bank
should i just put whatveer you think is reasonable
Be an alpha and put 250k
use simplify
how long does summer recruiting season last? I'm still on LC easies, just started a few weeks ago
yeah maybe
I'm hoping to be fully ramped up by October
yeah so im thinking of doing companies that ask LC mediums for practice, then take the hackerranks from companies that ask LC easies, to give myself a better shot?
ok shit nice
got some time starting now
no cooldown for just failing the OAs right?
oh damn
but they only recruit once for the season anyway? like it's better to apply now, because in 1 months the position will be filled? so might as well take the shot and get the practice?
like if the company has the posting now for summer 2023, will they have another "opening" later on?
I see. I heard amazon only cooldown for failed onsite, not OA, but I guess could be diff for other companies.
So you're saying it's more rolling
how long are cooldowns usually? 6 months?
so I might as well skip any companies that might ask mediums, and only take the companies I don't care about or ask easies
there's no cooldown for applying but not taking the OA right
like you recommend just applying and taking it no matter what
@low vale Thanks
Hoping someone can shed some more light on this as well
for imc second round, you need to have perfect score on the first round right
yea
oh
did you get to third round on imc
not sure
is hrt oa on codility or codesignal?
yes that's what I heard
am wondering if there's a cooldown for applying but NOT taking OAs,
but more importantly, failing OAs at other companies
saw this
but doesn't list all companies
oh I meant. What if you apply, get the OA, but DON'T take it - would make sense to not have a cooldown right
two sig recruiter saying they’ll begin SWE stuff in September??
Wait it’s already august oh crap that’s only a month away smh feels like half a year
oh really?
thats good,
another month to practice
I swear people be having their final rounds already
anyone here do imc video?
what impact does amazon location have on the type of project you get?
anyone know if dallas is a good location?
wait so are all the people saying they got OAs 🧢ing
oa might be auto
it’s not
maybe trading??
no clue
it might be for that quant researcher internship that's on the repo
so sad
i remember getting rejected from that within a week of applying so they're probably going through those applications
If Amazon couldn't get you an interview in a slot you selected, how long does it take for them to ask to reschedule?
Also if anyone has an amz recruiter I could reach out to
that'd be nice

Reply to the email they give u
I did
Thats your only point of contact, then
been like 4 days
No confirmation email?
Prob wrong email
and no confirmation
How long does it take to get capital one final after OA
so assume no confirmation at all
and ill have to reschedule
wrong email bruh they link the email in the thing they send you
i just clicked it lmao
and I got back the "we'll respond in 3 business days"
Took me like 3 weeks
Anyone done the Palantir HR round?
Anyone done with IMC 30 minute video round?
no they rejected me
I heard back after 3 days
I know someone who got final and he is also an international
It’s a nice company
Tho i just wanna know why i got rejected
idk man i had it on tuesday
Pretty sure i got rejected
You can but pretty sure i’m not gonna read them
There are too many dms
No
are you done with that round?
Yeah I meant I heard back after that round
Ngl thought I fucked up my video interview hard, but I guess they thought it was good enough
Man one question I didn't start talking till after 5 seconds of the video playing
Because I was thinking about the problem
And didn't realize it started
Yeah a lot of tech companies outsource to places like karat
And hr places
They asked like 10 I think
Half behavioral half technical?
Somewhere around there
The technical is either you know it or you don't
Okay.. any particular language stuff in the technical questions?
No
I got a hackerrank, not a karat
this is for intern right?
@safe elbow do you know if the hacckerrank is just like leetcode?
i got the hackerrank
I chose dev
One recruiter is skipping everyone
Is ur recruiter Christina
bc that’s the one
another one to add to the list
so is the hackerrank like leetcode? Mine said build dependency graph. so I guess I should study graphs and trees?
yeah leetcode
my recruiter was maia
do yall take your hackerranks, karats, OAs. etc. right away ?
related to the title?
yes
its topological sort so make sure you practice those kinds of problems
what do you recommend I study?
ok nice
.
yo peeps
what's a Sig follow-up?
from Sig the company, y'know
do everyone get those things?
what is this thing
I subbed my app like 3 months ago (for Fall 2022), got rejected 3 months ago then they just sent me this an hour ago
isn't a follow-up usually for interivew or rejection
yup, for rejection
dunno if that's a thing everyone gets
just want to ask here
also especially that it's a 3-month gap between rejection and follow-up
the contents mostly said "We only accepting senior students. Resume looks strong and encourage to reapply next year".
also received this
mm, welp, seems like a nothing-burger then. Still weird why they would send that 3 months after the rejection message
imagine they tell you
"Resume looks shit, don't come back next year"
oor they can just not send anything lol

Any1 hear back from microsoft?
I applied for Fall 2022, got rejected, applied for Summer 2023, and haven't heard back yet
Let us suppose that I have a div
I didn't even apply to Summer 2023 which is the thing lol
that is a bootstrap column
Oh that's weird then lol
let us continue by supposing I have a label
they just sent me that for my 3 months-ago fall 2022 app for no reason
that I would like to be on the left side of the div, but centered vertically
That's very unusual
How would I go about this?
text-align: middle, vertical-align: middle, text-align: center
none of it fucking works
how do i make something be in middle left of div i give up on stack overflow
u wanna just align center in the column or u wanna align center and vertically in the column?
u could create another div inside and center that vertically with like my auto or justify content center
and put some text inside that with text align left
ooh gonna try this
worth noting its bootstrap
idk if i said that
and your idea didnt work
what the fuck
i guess you seen this on stackoverflow, ngl i haven't tried this. this centers the text in the div vertically and horizontally
the span just made itself the same fucking height as the div
but the text is still centered
no position absolutes on modern web dev :/
bad for cross platform
flex only bitchessss
good shout my bad my bad 
is that CSS
bless your soul
@stark basin IT WONT GO TO THE CENTER HELP MME
just keep on fucking with it
it will work eventually
i swear to god CSS is just fucking around until it looks somewhat passable
true

LMAO
yeah I had that problem
did you overwrite the bootstrap definitions
I don't know how I fixed it because it was a result of many copy pastes across many stackoverflow posts
there may have been a couple of !important 's
define "fond"
nothing better than combining multiple stackoverflow posts and the css finally works 
bro if my internship throws me on front end team I swear to god I will cry
and then it blows up

DOES THAT LOOK
hey my second favorite book
oh yeah I had that problem before
the text centering thing right
it hates me
is roblox OA automatic?
and then you resize the window

I'm 95% sure none of my websites works if you don't open it on fullscreen
til design checks it on a different resolution
such as -_-
ngl @ivory ocean from my experience what you trying to do is one of the most annoying things to do in css imo
its wrapped in a row
its parent is a col-9
then its a span
thats the only thing in the div
there is no vertical margin
no vertical padding on anything
dude
I have a theory
do you guys think its because the value of the text is filled in by a JS variable at runtime
some people are so good at it i dont get it
finally got imc oa 
I FUCKING GOT IT
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
smack fucking dab
in the god damn center
it was cuz the text was set to d-inline
but for bootstrap if you still want flex properties
do d-inline-flex
pro tip for yall
what's this for?
i centered text in a fucking div
nice, now make pr
gonna send that picture to amazon and they'll prolly let me skip the final tbh
needs unit tests 🤮
don't need
i'll just forget in 2 days anyways
its the cycle of frontend
I think I should get a raise after that
mr yahkuna gib raise
Bro
They still haven’t answered
My shit was requested for tomorrow
So
Looks like I’ll get a reschedule email eventually
has anyone done the IMC quant trader OA? Also, is it automatic?
was the difficulty representative of the practice questions or was it harder/ easier
amazon trippin
sorry abt the confusion but we are going to have to rescind this final interview however we are going to provide you with 1 week of amazon prime 
jkjk
what's the difficulty like, ive never done it
is that accurate or is it for full-time?
like a lot of the most frequent ones are hards
so on OA is lc hard likely then? cuz ive heard the opposite
i thought it was supposed to be easy/medium
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
IM SO TIRED
there are not other internships outside amazon
just take the oa
am I looking on the wrong place?
@slow veldt did you just take a Amazon OA?
Pressing the link to take the OA, difficulty: Insane
@slow veldt did you just take a Amazon OA?
At worst it’s mediums. I don’t think you’ll get a hard one. And besides, you don’t even need to ace to OA to move on.
Or did anyone else take the Amazon OA recently
I just got the link for SDE1
I'm trying to see what kinda problems I should practice
I got 30/75 done of blind 75
And I just took a double shot of espresso
🚀
tbh this is mainly for final interview, not oa
i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but i'm an incoming freshman and i was wondering if you would all be willing to share some advice on getting that first internship. i've been applying to all summer 2023 job postings that don't specify that they're for 2023 or 2024 graduates and sponsor canadians but my OA rate is 0% (aside from like a single auto OA from cisco and an auto hirevue from morgan stanley) so i'm clearly doing something wrong
Apply everywhere cap about ur grad date there
Just say ur 2025 or 2024 grad. 2024 is pushing it a bit but u can
would that cause any issues in the background check phase and stuff?
i'll be sure to check those out
Lots of people grad in 3 years
i've applied to explore so far and i'm planning to apply to step too
Cap where u can just use ur common sense when u do it
my resume is pretty trash ngl i have 3 projects that are mid
will do
Go to ur schools career fair and career services
Even if u dont like the comapnies
Just go
Just apply everywhere no matter what eventaullt u will get somethin
i'll be sure to go to the career fair and stuff i think it's in like november or something
I had like 200 rejections freshman year and one offer
yea
carleton university a pretty average university up in canada
nothing impressive like waterloo or uoft
is virtu oa auto?
o-o that's a lot of applications
i'll make to apply everywhere and just hope for the best
Thats normal for freshman if u want an internship
Well gl
i'll make sure to put in the effort to do all that and hopefully it'll work out even if it ends up taking 300 applications or something
Good amount of internships in canada not as much as america
ooo thanks
Nah china/india international +freshman worse
Idk
I never looked into that stuff
Lucky im a citizen
thanks for all the advice
alright thanks to both of you for all the help
i really appreciate it
how hard is the imc oa?
Mediums
yeah for freshmen internship you'll be sending at least 100 applications if you're from a non-target
We’re adding more, lmk what sites you see often that it doesn’t work on and we’ll add them next!
currently support 1m+ sites though
Does anyone else have a bug with Workday and Simplify where it autofills but Workday says that some things are empty until you click on them?
looks at username
although I would be happy to join the simplify team to help improve the product
😉
Where is this happening? Haven’t got any reports of this
is google summer open?
I will try applying to some company that has Workday now and I will see if it happens again, but it happened on several companies' Workday sites (forgot which ones)
There was an issue that we fixed in June, but I haven’t seen anything since. Sorry that happened to you, if it ever happens again, feel free to email us or ping me on discord and we’ll fix it asap
there are some sites that use oracle cloud or something like jpmc
that have trouble with simplify
Ah yeah, we don't have support for Oracle yet but i'll add it! We actually have something special cooking with JPMC in specific, but can't disclose anything yet 🤐
Open only if u get contacted by recruiter otherwise no
Really interested in swe intern in simplify. This startup helps me a lot to avoid breaking my arm when applying too much lol
you can also @ or DM me with bugs/issues and I can fix them
How long does it take to hear back after imc video
Has anyone taken the quant trader intern Oa for Imc yet?
yeah sorry for not introducing myself yet
@devout jewel how was g?
solved first q but brute force the second q
sounds good
good job ser
so wen referral?
Ah I gotta start reading through this at some point
Been putting it off for so long
I'll do it after my internship ends
this has been happening to me a couple times
i just have to click my cursor on the text field and tab through and the errors go away
@safe grove just sent us a report and we are on it! Will patch today!
yes
yes
cracked bruh
tanz are u soph
damnn nice
target school or nah?
Can attest to applying to everything
All u need is 1 internship then it opens up doors
bro
apply to js
they love nyu
is target+ for quants
yes absolutely
NYU maybe not target for CS
but it def is for quants
i got fking rejected from nyu lmao
well be careful about that but only one i know that does that is akuna
Akuna does indeed blacklist
well actually
if you get trader vidcruiter
and dont do well, they send a app to apply to their options course
its a way to get back in
Nyu is a feeder to two sigma
Like ts 2nd most hired employees is nyu
seems like a jump <--> uofi thing
lmao they wont
theyll belike yea we good school
Cuz Nyu in nyc plus their applied math at courant is like best in the world
gotta hear from discord to know haha
yea courant is cracked
tanz r u math or cs
cracked
thats awesome
well now u know haha
😈
demon time
Courant literally #1 in world for applied math
When schools get ranked by major its probably for grad programs cuz it doesnt make sense to rank an undergrad program
But that prestige still carries over
how have people applied to google already i don’t see their posting
recruiter reached out to them
did anyone get the exact same 2 problems in the JP Morgan OA lol
Wait like q1 same as q2
💀💀
yup
gotta be a glitch
apply to state farm
they don’t mind freshmen lol
actually they were worded differently so not exact same
but test cases were same and my solution was exact same 💀
lmao that’s what they get for leaving duplicate questions in the test bank
must be nice sadge
i'm poor with 0 EFC and I pay like 45000 a year for a UC school
I have a friend who got into NYU Abu Dhabi full ride though
maybe NYU more generous
technically out of state but I'm out of state in every state
and yeah my friends who are Cali residents pay like nothing for UC
💀
my tuition here is like 3k
at least i'm doing a major for a job that pays well
and not
psychology
but they switched their career path into like machine learning/cs stuff
let me rephrase
and not
gender studies
simply apply with gender studies and switch major in like a month in
that was what I was gonna do as a joke for Harvard
got waitlisted

im starting to regert re-negging the unicorn
ya

im not doing that q
actually there's several problems that I just did once and said fuck you to every time after
unfortunately not
so I'm living in the cheapest on campus apartment and using my EBT for almost every meal

total here is like 24k per year w tuition and room and board
Get internships to pay for ur school
made a step in the right direction already


there's probably like
5 of those on campus all from China
I swear to god I hear more people speaking Chinese than English walking on campus
im so glad that fl has bright futures scholarship
wish my future was bright
i pay 0 for school lol
cause my wallet sure aint
So lucky
but senior yr im gonna have to do part time
I wasn’t smart enough for scholarships
so im gonna need to save money for the rent
my main goal of intern is to just save money
Ye
and for resume
My goal is to pay for college
i'm getting ripped off
though maybe not
more than half the time I don't do shit cause there ain't shit to do

I was a TA
we got paid in CREDITS
oh nvm I was LA
TA you basically have to be grad student to be here
the hours outside of lessons needed
It’s not worth it
it's absolutely not worth it
especially for introductory courses
Ur wasting your time for Pennies
+1
doesnt help much with portfolio + time taken outside of paid hours too much depending on the job scope
Is it worth applying for JPMorgan Code for Good if I already applied for their internship
What is that
A hackathon they have that they recruit interns from
I did because I kinda want to do a hackathon for the sake of doing one
How was it
Not interested in working for jpmc though
easy
same
LC easy?
easy-med
Oh
med is easy if you know what frozen set is
What
frozenset
in python
idk how to do that in java
probably immutable hashset of some sort
I think different people got different questions I did the OA a while back and my memory could be and but I don't think there were hashmap questions for me
I'd say lc easy-med, idk if they were questions off lc tho
Oh
Hmm
So it’s kinda like JPMC
Or maybe it’s harder than JPMC right
I answered JPMC today in under 15 mins, it was surprisingly rly easy for me
And I’m bad at leetcode so that says a lot
Yea
JPMC was rly easy
Goldman Sachs probably is gonna be harder
Did you guys do the math hackerrank too
I signed up for it
Idk
Goldman Sachs is gonna be hard to get into
So I’m probably not getting in
I shoulda switched grad date for C1
Might have had a chance
I’m gonna get auto rejected by C1 cuz of stupid grad date
Yea I’m dumb
Idk I’m so scared for this year, it seems so hard to get a good internship
yeah c1 autorejects that shit
just keep applynig
r u first year
yea you got this bro
My resume is ass
you have time
That’s why I’m worried
Yea I’ve been applying and taking OAs everyday for the past week
Oh shit what companies
That’s rly good
It’s pretty early into the season I think
Fuck c1
some of them were hard af
I told them my grad date in my application and then a recruiter contacted me and rejected me after i told them my grad date again
data tooling wasnt bad
you got this its so early
nah
i suck ass at c++
i know c tho
but not too comfortable
oh damn wow
I’m not too good at OAs
didu get phone
trading is easy if youre decent at mental math
python is OOP
data tooling was 2 lc med / hard
same with quant dev
quant dev was hard af
i failed that
@low vale u get python final?
Is data tooling SWE?
yes
there is also an ML position
that OA was weird
1 lc and 1 oop right
hope u get it
lol wtf
How much time for Akuna
didnt do it , failed after video recruiter.
how long did it take to hear back from each round oa -> phone -> final
and was there an oop after that?
ive been told oop was on it too, im curious
since the oa was also oop

:worryweird:
say less ty
u in the process?
gl
Wait for Akuna how well do you have to do to get to phone
what swe
lol
Intern
oh idk then
Not quant
python you need like 6-7/8, probably 7
Oh what does that mean
test cases
I know someone who got rejected with 7/8 so I thought you needed perfect
maybe it was resume
Could be resume reject tho
ye
i know someone who got past w 6
@low vale how was imc oa?
im assuming u did swe

IMC OA second question was kinda bad ngl
I failed it
Prolly not getting called after video
I’d say it’s tricky
It’s not rly hard
Tbh
Had the idea in 10 mins but it’s annoying
Lots of edge cases
do u need to past all test cases?
Yeah
No
wait wht
How many do you need then
lol
I failed one edge case on q1
I got full on the first one, on the second one I got 9/13
and maybe expeding interviews
I got in
perfect on 2?
Shit that’s insane
Yeah
cracked
Wait you got to final round
Not yet I think

But I got no confirmation email and then a while back I'm lack I wonder why
And I resubmit and I got a confirmation email
💀
Wait For IMC, is video round auto
It is right
I got mine 2 hrs after submitting OA1
I got mine the next day or something
Yea
Idk I got 9/13 on Q2
Not sure if that’ll be enough
Resume is ass
That question was so dumb IMO
What abt Q1 for you
Dam you have Meta on your resume
Must be nice
Nah
I mean if you have Meta on your resume, isn’t it like kinda easy to get offers
I interned at Verizon, and it’s absolutely useless
They are, mlh has a program with meta and they had a recruiter event where they said they were still planning on getting a lot of interns
Oh
did you have the car question
yea
same
id rather have that question than dp bullshit
dp bullshit is a death sentence
welp time to get resume rejected even with perfect oa
idt i've ever gotten an interview after an OA
well i got perfect on optiver oa and rejected next day
optiver pays like 96/hr
ik i did it correct bc id done those same problems in other company's OAs 
like q2 was in a tiktok oa
i think cause hidden test cases
Wow really?
im at a non-target so that probably screwed me
Which school
That’s T10
t10 school in baltimore
Shiiiittt…
return interns 
I go to MIT
TIM
What return interns
No it’s cap it’s actually $0
GE (top rating) offer gives a bunch more stock
but it's only for top 10%-ish
ok but your TC doesn't jump instantly
you have to wait for refreshers to kick in
It’ll be 230k then after a year it’ll be 120k when meta stock drops even more
maaan fuck koko
I feel bad for ppl that got in last yr
dumbest problem ive solved
sell the stocks for amazon
What do they need?
idrc abt finance stuff
their jane street tc probably greater than their pre-crash tc
Yeah they can join Snap
imma sell my stocks whenever i need to use emergency money
defense is always stable but doesnt pay that well
jira plugin
i dont really want to work for defence
not a big fan of what their products do compared to other comapnies
Because of 🐝 lau
nah this cap
defense products just kill innocent civilians
When did she start working
first year TC is propped up by the 50k signing bonus
We not counting ur sisters tc after stock drop
how do u even sell stock?
Inflation increased the tc
what’s target bonus
i’m just going off of what salary she put when she was applying for apartments
Why is general electrics paying 220k for new grad
hmmm i’ll ask her about this
So google is better?
and 220 for ge
Lol true
google offer is better if you're good bc you can nego with a top payer like stripe
and get big bucks
then dip after 2 years
Yeh
Stripe RSUs are worthless rn right?
Snap rsu is worth a lot rn
restricted stock units
Why useless
id rather get payed in toilet paper money
no one uses snapchat anymore
🤨
snap stoc
what's ur snap score?
200k
new acc
dam
mine's like 500
old one was nearing a 1m
thinking snap is dead is a red flag for talking to no chicks ngl
- as long as they my "x year ago today" memories, they'll have me hooked
what are chicks
ok ya
this one is true
yep
also
its unlimted storage
yea u can snap stock for cheap
its free storage mf
he's 2025
but 2023 cus he graduating early
what about optiver
isn't SIG a low tier
do they care about school name?
he means 2 sigma i bet, not SIG
so even if u get 100% on their oa
but u dont go to a target

no wonder why i got rejected today
i mean bruh 100% on OA and ghost literally happens at Meraki
@devout jewel whats g's winter internship dates
jan feb or march u pick
i have no idea
isnt your interview for that
for 12 weeks yeah
fam idk what to tell you except I know people who go to decent universities and don't get jackshit and I know people who go to "mediocre" universities and do fucking amazing
yeah no HFTs in LA otherwise i'd be more interested in HFTs
yea but i don't know when the start date is
ight haha ty
don't shoot yourself down like that....let the application process do that for you
yeah 100%
what's HFT
how long does jane street usually take to respond back
like trading firms
oh that
yeah, I haven't been able to grind leetcode 24/7 so that's nah already
i'll apply just to make y'all's lives just a bit harder tho, dw
idt de shaw is hypsm or bust i'm not from hypsm and i got de shaw interview
ya reckon they allow school + internship or nah
G doesn't unfortunately
my school aint gonna allow me to take leave of absence again for internships
they specific ask for transcript
ah fuck
and they tell u not to take any classes
mother fuckersd
