[random apex]

my school doesnt allow two time leave of absence for internship lmao

might have to fake death

[proud whale]

dang

[random apex]

yeah

[proud whale]

fake monkey pox fuggit

[random apex]

well i would say my photoshop skills are mid but worth it

[eternal hornet]

i can see some mf "playing leetcode" in this server. how tf am I supposed to compete with that shit, lmao

[proud whale]

some mf "playing Roblox" easily planning for the OA LMAOO

icpc genuinely seems fun if i did it earlier on

[eternal hornet]

they care about big brains. the only problem is that they look for them at more renowned universities

[soft mist]

for trader roles idt they care about prestige

[proud whale]

yeah i mean we just have acm icpc

club

[soft mist]

just need to pass the technicals

[eternal hornet]

i wanna go back to the days that I spent the summer watching Naruto and eating gummy bears

[proud whale]

that competes

[tardy ridge]

How good do you gotta be at ICPC

[proud whale]

💀 incoming fresh

[tardy ridge]

or in codeforces

For HFT

[eternal hornet]

LOLOL, you think the big brain cs nerds belong in frats?? Nah bro, you walk into the CS lab at UT Austin and these mf's grinding Leetcode on the sofas

[proud whale]

respect da grind

[eternal hornet]

i'm deadass

oh i don't doubt it

in fact, I may be biased because my entire extended friend group consists of shut in nerds

[muted summit]

wonder if william lin is going to quant

[eternal hornet]

the other thing that hits you when you walk into the CS lab at UT is the smell. Remember to take showers, guys

i actually know 2 people who got into HFTs

[spark hearth]

show resume

[muted summit]

LOL

everyone does

[eternal hornet]

also funny story. two people I know got an internship at some company. The honors student got a higher offer than the non-honors student lol

so being in an honors college helps

i'm not smart enough for that tho. Between classes and a part time job, I have barely enough time to quell the urge to yeet myself off a bridge

[proud whale]

[eternal hornet]

no no no, that's a css margin sizing joke

[willow canopy]

Youngin

[proud whale]

"midget"

fracker where u from

the bay?

yeah, sounds like a bay area vibe

[spark hearth]

who ping me

[obsidian willow]

Idk I know a lot of people at hypsm school who wish they weren’t pushed as hard lol

[sinful locust]

mans reneged google, of course he cracked

[proud whale]

p sure he just extended it

like moved the szn

[muted summit]

does asana let you apply to all 3 locations

ok nvm would only be 2

since one is in canada lmao

[proud whale]

lowkey sounds kinda lit to apply international

[muted summit]

hm might go for it then

[fickle ivy]

a s a n a

a s u n a

valorant watchers unite

[eternal hornet]

i don't think that's the only metric for combating systemic inequality

[muted summit]

exactly i typed asuna and was like wait its asana

[eternal hornet]

letting immigrants moving up is a good thing

[fleet dew]

Do we need to pass 2/2 IMC OA to go next round

[fickle ivy]

yeah

but i feel like equally concerning is the fact that

75% of the us pop. isn't eligible for military service

either due to bad health

[eternal hornet]

it wasn't just the slave era, it was Jim Crow, lack of civil rights, all those laws that made it harder for immigrants to get education in the late 1900's

[fickle ivy]

or just low enough iq

that they cant pass the aptitude test

25% of hs students dont graduate

in the US

out of the 75% that do, 30% can't pass military aptitude test

aka their iq is literally lower than 80%

what do u think it might be

even if its like 10%

too hgih

[eternal hornet]

i think it depends on where the immigrants come from lol. And even so, I think its fair for an immigrant to be given a chance to make their place in America

[fickle ivy]

85% okay

so 15% dont grad

still too high

thats literally still almost one in six ppl

depends on country

if they immigrate from the UK

hmmm

if its south sudan

probably

[eternal hornet]

depends on country, their income class, their experience. that's what college essays are for

[fickle ivy]

fair ig

my point is

the US education system is just so fucked

that ive stopped caring

😐

the world feels more and more cursed

every day

yes

[eternal hornet]

a first gen immigrant is likely to be here, not for college, but for a job. And more often than not, it's a low paying job. Giving the children of those people a chance to move up is fair

of course it depends a lot on whether they come from wealth or not. But most immigrants don't come from wealth. They're here because whatever job they can find here is better than whatever is waiting back home

same, kind of

we aren't in a utopia either

yeah, but that should begin wayyy before college applications

better school funding and all that

so that they aren't just thrown into a college and expected to survive

especially in places that have been plagued with gentrification and all that

[sinful locust]

AA as it is now is stupid, rather have it by economic status than race or ethnicity

like the purpose is good but as brian said

bandaid on broken bone

[eternal hornet]

ah well, I've already spent enough time being salty over college apps. It's time to be salty over job apps

[obsidian willow]

In theory AA wouldn’t be needed if the US properly addressed the inequalities towards marginalized groups

[eternal hornet]

oh yeah same

like knowing that I'm probably not gonna get into the big schools so barely trying on those apps lol

[obsidian willow]

But unfortunately it’s incredibly hard to ignore the fact that a lot of policies are not in favor of bipoc and women

[eternal hornet]

anxiety and low self-esteem are a bitch, huh

[fickle ivy]

i regret not grinding harder for stanford

😦

stanny rea

bro i almost didnt graduate

[eternal hornet]

i wish I grinded the right things

[fickle ivy]

i almost failed 4/7 courses 2nd sem senior year

[eternal hornet]

like, I didn't really have a purpose, I just joined the clubs that everyone else joined and did what everyone else did

[fickle ivy]

i wish i had had more fun while also grinding

[eternal hornet]

but, since I never really had an interest in anything yet, I pretty much failed in everything

[floral mantle]

U at Stanford?

[fickle ivy]

me?

[eternal hornet]

which kind of shot my confidence

[floral mantle]

Sym sus dude

Idk any other school that has that

But I’m also Canadian

[fickle ivy]

nah its a tree school thing

[trim vigil]

whats the interview process for roblox after oa

apparently its final according to glassdoor but im not sure

[floral mantle]

U in cal then I suppose

[fickle ivy]

whats bad abt stanny

[floral mantle]

Just final and maybe hm meeting I think

[trim vigil]

dope

hope i pass oa

[fickle ivy]

yea

i went to a hypercompetitive public

dude have u seen like exeter and shit

lmao

[floral mantle]

Biggest advantage is not being international & poor smh

[fickle ivy]

yea

[floral mantle]

I can kinda see that tbh

Most of the advantage is just in being rich enough to go to prep school

As opposed to prep school itself

And growing up around successful people

[ocean relic]

For sure

Education rly doesn’t matter for high school

[floral mantle]

I’d assume it’s like self selection same as Waterloo

[ocean relic]

U just do ur own thing or u don’t

Steal their money

Sue them

[floral mantle]

Also if ur peers are much wealthier than you, u kinda work doubly harder to play the game in the game too

[fickle ivy]

can confirm grew up with rich kids

at major public

[eternal hornet]

can confirm, have rich friends

[fickle ivy]

i remember a few gals and I were talking abt prom dresses

and someone was like

oh my dress budget was like 300

and this other person comes in and starts flexing abt how she went over her budget and her mom got mad

bc she went from 650 to 70

700

[floral mantle]

Cause we can’t network into IB internships as poors lol

[fickle ivy]

💀

yeah like isef grinders

[eternal hornet]

one girl I know is super humble but like she has a SHIT ton of connections from her parents being professors and, I know it sounds weird, but apparently a lot of connections from her synagogue

[fickle ivy]

IB is devil dealing

[floral mantle]

Closest we get is Amazon funneling us through a meat grinder

[fickle ivy]

you can go MM route

and do just as well

MM -> consulting meta is also good

market maker

[eternal hornet]

she got into Tufts because her grandmother was apparently on the board or something and got her in. She decided not to go because she felt it wasn't fair

[fickle ivy]

ya

mm -> consulting -> vc

this does seem to be established

from what ive heard

[floral mantle]

Kind of

[fickle ivy]

mm/swe bouncing -> consulting

and eventually vc

is decently established

espec if you start doing rich things like

real estate

early on

[floral mantle]

I know some swes who get into companies their parents in VC invest in

[fickle ivy]

HRT/JS and switching around in FAANG

for 4-5 years

then consulting and vc

[floral mantle]

Then they just kind of turn into VC or “startup founders” for a couple years

[fickle ivy]

def meta

while real estate on the side thats often fueled by your parents

[tardy ridge]

how is the two sigma OA

for swe intern

[fickle ivy]

you could do this too i suppose

its not that hard to get into consulting if you have good exp and a solid MBA

[tardy ridge]

no, just curious

idk if i should apply

if its super difficult

[fickle ivy]

like HBR/Wharton/Booth/Haas/Stanford

@tardy ridge apply anyway

they wont release OA for another month

might as well take ur shot

[tardy ridge]

oh i see

bruh im so scared for this year man

[fickle ivy]

its ok we all are

[tardy ridge]

idk if im even going to get an internship, seems so hard

[fickle ivy]

im applying

after 2 years

out

[tardy ridge]

OAs have been so difficult lol

[fickle ivy]

prob

[fickle ivy]

keep up the grind

[tardy ridge]

yea ig

IMC

[fickle ivy]

IMC is known to be hard?

it varies

just apply and rush

[tardy ridge]

usually about a week i think

[fickle ivy]

keep grinding

[tardy ridge]

it wasnt hard

im just retarded

[ocean relic]

same

[tardy ridge]

first question was rly easy

second question was easy, implementing was hard

but if ur stupid, its a rip

[ocean relic]

same

[fickle ivy]

my SIG question was a bit

[tardy ridge]

yea

same

has anyone done optiver?

how is optiver

[spark hearth]

what company

[eternal hornet]

okay so how hard is the cisco meraki coding test

[tardy ridge]

did you get cisco OA?

isnt cisco OA auto

i didnt get an OA from cisco 💀

[eternal hornet]

it says "SHL"

[eternal hornet]

i think so

because I literally finished my app an hour ago

and go the email

[tardy ridge]

wait for which one

full stack swe summer 2023?

[eternal hornet]

yeah

meraki

[tardy ridge]

bruh idk how i didnt get it

i applied last year with no prior internship as a freshman and got their OA

this year i have an internship and im a sophomore now, and i still didnt get the OA

..

[eternal hornet]

bruh

[tardy ridge]

cisco -_-

ive just been taking some Ls lol

[eternal hornet]

i'm telling you, it's just like college apps

jank as hell

[tardy ridge]

nah personally its worse

college apps have some type of metric you can base yourself off of

[eternal hornet]

me too bro. i got my first rejection a few days ago

[tardy ridge]

like if i got a 1500 on the SAT, ik i have a decent shot at x college and a bad shot at college y

25

[eternal hornet]

that's not even the case anymore

[tardy ridge]

oh yea they removed SAT

thats jank

[eternal hornet]

after covid, those tests mean less, right?

yeah

it really is

[tardy ridge]

idk dude im so scared for this year

i rly gotta get smth

-_-

[eternal hornet]

dw bro, we're all gonna make it

so anyway, cisco meraki oa, yay or nay?

good or bad?

[tardy ridge]

it should be good

[eternal hornet]

hard or medium

[ocean relic]

It’s usually easy

[tardy ridge]

i remeber last year it was 3 LC easy

[eternal hornet]

gotcha

[tardy ridge]

last year i didnt know DSA and i remember being able to quickly do all 3

[eternal hornet]

wait I haven't been practicing LC easy

only mediums

[tardy ridge]

oh

[ember bison]

bro why the fuck are we talkin bout sats 😭

[tardy ridge]

i mean u should be fine

[tardy ridge]

quant moment

citi asked for my SAT

[eternal hornet]

we were reminiscing about the dark times

[tardy ridge]

i was like "tf"

[ember bison]

i dont wanna think bout it bro 😭

[eternal hornet]

bruh, that reminds me of how the investing club at UT asked for SAT and ACT scores

so dumb lmao

[tardy ridge]

lol

big quant companies want SATs

[ember bison]

i grinded SAT for like 70 hrs just to get a 1500. grinded ACT for 2 hours and got a 34 (equivalent) 😭

[eternal hornet]

they literally even asked for a fucking intelligence test

i can't make this shit up

[ember bison]

UT sucks

a&m better

[eternal hornet]

business major moment 💀

[ember bison]

bro

ur just like me fr

wtf

[eternal hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/running-man-run-gif-13938864

A&M kids when they hear of a UT student's existence to proclaim their superiority because nobody gives a shit about them

[ember bison]

cope and cap

[random apex]

whats a good act score?

[ember bison]

https://tenor.com/view/dont-care-didnt-ask-cope-_ratio-skill-issue-canceled-gif-24148064

[ocean relic]

39

[tardy ridge]

wait yo has anyone here taken optiver OA

[eternal hornet]

[ember bison]

[tardy ridge]

[eternal hornet]

[tardy ridge]

[tough ledge]

[eternal hornet]

do you remember when you applied?

[tough ledge]

7/7

[eternal hornet]

i applied at around 7/15

damn, maybe we were too slow

[tough ledge]

nah i was speaking to a current amazon swe and she said it took 2 months for her to get her oa when she was going for an internship

super rng

[sinful locust]

it’s random

yeah

[tough ledge]

yea i emailed like 15 of them and got nothing back

[coarse crane]

Maybe the 16th will respond

[tough ledge]

mayhaps

[limber mesa]

ah
i was also ghosted when i applied on careers website with referral

this time, they took test on our campus

[tough ledge]

got scared of leetcoding and decided to use my energy on emailing recruiters that day

[eternal hornet]

okay I did that but with LinkedIn

one recruiter literally accepted my connection but then sent me a botted message over and over every time I asked a question

so L

the others don't bother accepting or don't respond after accepting

so L

[tough ledge]

they know why you're there

[eternal hornet]

lmao, yep

i ain't smooth

[limber mesa]

🥺

[eternal hornet]

they definitely have like 50 other connection requests waiting for them

[tough ledge]

i had a recruiter reach out to me and then he told me he doesn't work on the early talent team and that his colleagues said there were no openings

[limber mesa]

i wonder whats the success rate for cold emailing recruiters for tech internships

[tough ledge]

missed a 0 or two

[eternal hornet]

lmao

[tough ledge]

success rate gotta be in the single digits

[eternal hornet]

okay did anyone else see that reddit post that said "get a referral shithead"

[tough ledge]

unless you're cracked

[eternal hornet]

on r/cscareerquestions

i tried following that

[tough ledge]

link?

[eternal hornet]

lemme dig it up

but it gave me hope

....a false hope

[tough ledge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/uczkay/referrals_are_king_a_shithead_guide_on/

is it this?

[eternal hornet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/uczkay/referrals_are_king_a_shithead_guide_on/

yep

[tough ledge]

tldr

[sinful locust]

I need referral

[eternal hornet]

cold email/message people and ask for a referral

shithead

[tough ledge]

[eternal hornet]

[tough ledge]

i doubt referrals do shit at amazon

[uneven sand]

[tough ledge]

[uneven sand]

they haven't been giving out OAs recently

hopefully the next batch is soon

[tough ledge]

[uneven sand]

amazon hasn't had a hiring freeze yet

[coarse crane]

@tough ledge never give up, keep sending recruiters emails and linkedin dms

you're the guy on the bottom, lets hit 20

[uneven sand]

100% of gamblers quit before their big payout

[tough ledge]

sigma cold emailing grindset

[uneven sand]

i want amazon for winter backup

[tough ledge]

[uneven sand]

[eternal hornet]

[sinful locust]

i was really tired

after word

i cant code

[sinful locust]

2 days apart?

[uneven sand]

no the email says once you open it they can't do anything

[eternal hornet]

i put off HRT last year twice and they let me take it.....I failed it but they let me take it

[tough ledge]

[tough ledge]

7/10 it never works

[uneven sand]

[tough ledge]

[sinful locust]

ill be a chad and not do shit

[eternal hornet]

hrt's first two questions were DOABLE

then the last one beat me up and dragged me down the street

[sinful locust]

ya the first one was free monie

[uneven sand]

i haven't even gotten hrt oa

[eternal hornet]

and made me watch as it fucked my high school crush

[uneven sand]

i applied yesterday

[sinful locust]

dude i still dont understand that question

like

TO THIS DAY

I STILL DONT KNOW

WHAT IT WAS ASKING FOR

[eternal hornet]

i just know that I laughed

i laughed at how fucked I was

and when I realized that I had lost, my stress disappeared

OKAY, funny story

[sinful locust]

at least i wasnt the only one

[eternal hornet]

for the second question, I couldn't figure out WHY my merge algo didn't work. I finally got frustrated and rewrote it and it worked

like BRUH

i think it was because of a weird indent in python

that caused the error

[sinful locust]

u couldnt use python for hrt last yuear

[eternal hornet]

yes you could

i remember them asking us to pick

[sinful locust]

oh nvm i rmb opting for the c++

option

[wooden shard]

Yo is 7/8 good enough for akuna python dev?

[eternal hornet]

c++ or something else

[sinful locust]

ya mb

ya yayy

mb

go on

[eternal hornet]

so yeah

since then, I have been using c++ for LC

[tough ledge]

no they're gonna take you out back and put you down

[eternal hornet]

but that just....that realization along with reading the final problem made me laugh

[sinful locust]

chad

[eternal hornet]

a glimpse of insanity

Rip

So sad

[eternal hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/the-joker-arkham-city-that-actually-is-pretty-funny-funny-joker-gif-21887750

[sinful locust]

like optiver has hired z e r o MOFOS from my school

[eternal hornet]

bro, getting oa's is fucking new for me

like, I got autorejected everywhere cuz I was a freshman last year

[sinful locust]

honestly same

[eternal hornet]

shit hurt man

[sinful locust]

before sap

[eternal hornet]

it fucked up my confidence

[sinful locust]

i was getting auto rejected too

[tough ledge]

the Apply -> OA -> Reject -> Joker Arc pipeline

[eternal hornet]

i remember State Farm sending me an email around March saying, "yeah, we rejected you" and I didn't even remember applying to them that year

they just needed to kick me while I was down

[tough ledge]

i got auto rejected from an unpaid internship last year

[stark basin]

for the OA

[sinful locust]

?????????????

[stark basin]

literally everyone I know got a 7/8
what the fuck is that last test case

[eternal hornet]

there was this company at the career fair whose recruiter I thought I clicked with

I went and emailed the recruiter and applied

[stark basin]

I need to know

[eternal hornet]

completely ghosted

[spark hearth]

for what?

[eternal hornet]

from both the recruiter and the company

[tough ledge]

i had 4 lines on my resume LOL

[stark basin]

akuna Python Dev OA

[eternal hornet]

that was just cruel

cuz she got my hopes up and everything

[spark hearth]

oh

[stark basin]

i think so, it's been a while

but it was just that one test case

that just
didn't want to pass

[spark hearth]

tle?

[stark basin]

no

it ran

[spark hearth]

so it's wrong

lol

@uneven sand

[eternal hornet]

[uneven sand]

hackerrank is kinda broken. when i mess up a hidden test case i just print the inputs

[stark basin]

[eternal hornet]

[stark basin]

eating a full spoonful of cereal with expired milk was probably a top 5 worst moment of my life

[uneven sand]

yea but usually there's some pattern which can help me find out what edge case im missing

[eternal hornet]

i'm too poor to ignore a tray of perfectly good frozen expired chicken so i ate it

[spark hearth]

what's at the top of ur list

[eternal hornet]

5/10, do not recommend

[uneven sand]

expired milk is just cheese

[stark basin]

the less said about it the better

[spark hearth]

[stark basin]

everything is good for character

[spark hearth]

do u like cheese?

cheese is good except for blue cheese

why does that shit tingle

[sinful locust]

Blue cheese taste like my feet

[spark hearth]

tf

[sinful locust]

I tasted blue cheese before

[eternal hornet]

cool, so I know what another dude's feet tastes like

[stark basin]

it feels like eating mold
which is exactly what it is but still it's not something I want to think about

[spark hearth]

sadge

couldn't focus leetcode

[uneven sand]

juster did you get js phone

[hallow scroll]

nor

I got oa for trading but im gonna fail it because I know 0 math

[eternal hornet]

Okay, out of curiousity

How quickly can you reapply for a summer 2023 intern position after being rejected

like there are no second chances, right? At least not for the same recruiting cycle

[sinful locust]

Apply with another email

[wooden shard]

how many rounds is akuyna capital after oa?

[earnest hatch]

For Capital One it would be next recruiting cycle, so summer 2024

[eternal hornet]

i haven't gotten rejected..haven't applied yet

am scared

[tardy ridge]

isnt this like not allowed lmfao

[earnest hatch]

Have you had prior interviewing experience?

[tardy ridge]

and dont companies like flag you cuz they check if resumes are the same

[eternal hornet]

no tbh

Am scared

[earnest hatch]

I recommend signing up to CodePath's Technical prep course if you haven't already https://apply.codepath.com/cohorts/interview-prep-fall-2022/versions/student/

[tardy ridge]

Does codepath help a lot with getting offers

[marsh saddle]

Is it free?

[eternal hornet]

Does it cost anything

[earnest hatch]

They have a career fair, their summer one is bigger though from what I heard. But in general they provide good tips and help you learn how to interview/prep your resume.

[earnest hatch]

It's free

[tardy ridge]

Yea I’m in it rn

Idk how useful the career fair will be

But nevertheless, it’ll help me get my name out there

The companies seemed kinda small tho

Maybe I’m just being greedy and overambitious

[hallow scroll]

anyone have any idea when meta opens

[eternal hornet]

The what?

The ng tc? Return?

Oh, idk

[earnest hatch]

Depends on your financial goals, it's not FAANG level if that's what you mean

[eternal hornet]

All I know is the pay looks nice and would carry me through a year in college…mostly

[hallow scroll]

mr ev0s

are u recruiting new grad this year or intern

[earnest hatch]

Both (applying to new grad at some places and intern only at some places), if I get a good new grad offer then I'll take it over internship

[hallow scroll]

gl

[marsh saddle]

U gonna make 6 figures new grad at c1 not bad esp at the locations the offices are

[summer vector]

We pushed a fix a few hours ago that should go live by tomorrow on the chrome store 🙂

[proud whale]

opinions on riot games

[wraith token]

I just want 200k+ new grad with not bad WLB

[marsh saddle]

Dont work there league and valorant are terrible games

Yeah but they made two of the top 5 worst games of all time

[proud whale]

"just"

wants one of the best jobs out of undergrad on earth

[wraith token]

My expectations are high cuz of my current jobs

[hallow scroll]

I like the thought of them because they have cool benefits

[proud whale]

what are the cool benefits?

ik theyre LA so they're standing out

not many good numbers on their ng comps tho

i wonder how resume val is compared to something like slack

[hallow scroll]

I agree with fracker on resume val

[proud whale]

i'm interested in a fun job lol

yeah pretty fair i think i agree w/ that too

[hallow scroll]

valid

[proud whale]

really? very interesting

how come? what have u heard?

@queen raven my man u been on leetcode ALL DAY

oh lmao

what have u heard ab riot?

[low vale]

🤔

then why do you want riot

lol

the benefits are good but your sentence makes it sound like you want to get into riot because you don't play their games

[coarse crane]

Tbf riot devs already don’t play their own games

You’ll fit right in

[low vale]

unfortunately true

if I somehow ever find myself at the indie game company I'm going to buff all top laners

[coarse crane]

The best way to make sure valorant doesn’t end up like overwatch is to nerf all of the movement characters and introduce a ton of characters that stun and control

[low vale]

I think they should introduce a character that just wins the game after being locked in

seems like a good idea

[coarse crane]

They should add brigitta to val

[low vale]

I want to get into roblox because I want to ruin kids' days

and then i saw the oa

so i started playing roblox to not mess it up

[coarse crane]

I used to try hard in desert storm so bad

[low vale]

and i like the game

💀

[coarse crane]

I alr ruin those kids days

[low vale]

I used to play, at sometimes I stopped

that would be funny

i think for riot, they weight video game dev really high

so if you got time

you could try working on stuff with cpp

[hallow scroll]

thats like most video games

[low vale]

a friend of mine got in with no internships

and just video game dev

[hallow scroll]

unity uses c++

[low vale]

i think league uses c++, not sure tho

[hallow scroll]

simply have a good resume and target school wont matter

[low vale]

do you go to a target or are you just checking?

yeah you're chilling then

[coarse crane]

Learn PHP to code rocket league

[honest spire]

and league

i only play minecraft now

[low vale]

I think riot has a thing for UCs lol

yeah but uci and ucsd aren't as great

but they're way above cmu, riot hiring wise

[coarse crane]

Cmu is a robotics and ai school

Change my mind

[low vale]

duolingo came out of cmu

[coarse crane]

Ai

[low vale]

is duolingo ai?

never used it

[coarse crane]

The learning algo is

[low vale]

ah

they are also very good for cyber sec

I think they have the only cybersecurity bachelors in the US

A bunch of great sec researchers come from there

yeah

[coarse crane]

Oh i forgot theres engineering too

Lmao

I only know people from school of cs

[low vale]

cmu engineering is very solid but doesn't hold a candle to their cs

[uneven sand]

cum

[honest spire]

cum

[low vale]

cum

[low vale]

[uneven sand]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-clown-cute-loli-gif-14596033

[trim vigil]

LMAO

[low vale]

it doesn't hurt, it probably won't do anything tho tbh

same 😦

[trim vigil]

ik but i think its cuz the first time i took the codesignal, i got a technical error and got a bad score

they let me redo and i got a good score after

so idk if they saw my first bad score and rejected me

[low vale]

I submitted my codesignal and then they haven't gotten back to me

💀

lol, I actually wouldn't mind

2025 but i put 2024

last year they were like you're too young when i put 2025

cringe company

It's been 25 days since I applied

where offer

😠

no

bad

stop

delay it until when you're read to get over 790

lol

you can't?

or rather

you shouldn't

you don't get any points for that

well you do

but like

very little

you just gotta be familiar with the following and you should be golden

hashmaps, sorting, greedy questions

those will usually get you past q4

you could stop there, or got for q3 after that

depends on how comfortable you are coding a program created to make sure you get bugs

q1 ->q2 ->q4 is over an 810

q4 is an algorithm question

q1 and q2 tests if you are familiar with programming just like basic questions

q4 is leetcode basically

q3 is q1 and q2 on crack

basically testing how good you are at finding bugs

its always easy

but you'll also run into problems

nah i do 1-2-4-3

yes

uh lemme show you my "cOdEsIgNaL aNaLySiS"

q4 is problem solving

q1-q3 is implementation

nah not really

[rustic topaz]

💀

wtf

[low vale]

i got a 67 on speed but a 100 on the other categories

[rustic topaz]

is that yours?

[low vale]

that makes an 843

[rustic topaz]

Wtf

[low vale]

out of 850

[rustic topaz]

843?????

[low vale]

so its good

[rustic topaz]

Nah bro is cracked

[low vale]

speed matters less than completion

[rustic topaz]

Yeah

[proud whale]

[rustic topaz]

mark

what's your codesignal?

@proud whale

[proud whale]

I’ve done 2, so far 735

[rustic topaz]

[rustic topaz]

That's good

[proud whale]

Nah I need an 800+ for the szn

[rustic topaz]

SZN like the singer?

[low vale]

i didn't do the practices too much but I think so yeah

[proud whale]

Season

[low vale]

i did 1 and it q1 and q2 felt harder while q4 and 3 were same

[rustic topaz]

Like the practice I tried to do were super mathy

and I quit

[low vale]

oh you mean the practice gca or the practice questions?

[rustic topaz]

gca?

yeah

that one

the regular practice quetions are just lc questions

[hallow scroll]

[low vale]

yeah that one felt around the same for q34 but harder 12

[rustic topaz]

What's your codesignal?

I know you're cracked asf

[hallow scroll]

813

im bad at coding

[rustic topaz]

STop teh cap

stop the cap

[low vale]

nah stuff happens

i went from 812 to 729

[low vale]

and now 843

[hallow scroll]

yeah

[rustic topaz]

Well if you were 812 before

it don't matter, you're cracked

Holy wtf did you get interviews for them?

[hallow scroll]

813 has been enough for me though

I got through screens with it

[low vale]

800 is good for everywhere

[rustic topaz]

bro even got twosigma

;9

[low vale]

[low vale]

[rustic topaz]

Well I thinkl 28$ is pretty good

[low vale]

That doesn't include housing

[hallow scroll]

you would fail the background check

[low vale]

its about 50

[hallow scroll]

for grad date it doesn't matter

my current internship I got rejected after OA when she realized I wasn't a 2023 grad so I just told her on the spot it was a typo on my resume 💀

[rustic topaz]

Guys how hard is cyclic sort?

I am trying to understand it rn 🙏

[rustic topaz]

😂

[hallow scroll]

its tricky on first glance but doing a lot of problems on it/drawing it out helps a lot

[rustic topaz]

Bro when did you start leetcoding

y'all are prodgies bruh

[hallow scroll]

like last december

nah I suck butt at leetcode

[rustic topaz]

stop lying

810 on codesignal???

are you serious

lmaooo

[hallow scroll]

if I was a good at leetcode I would have passed my big interviews

[rustic topaz]

what interviews?

[hallow scroll]

last summer I had apple and amazon and this fall I had google, couldve been 2x faang

[rustic topaz]

Dang

[hallow scroll]

yeah

[rustic topaz]

did you do OA?

[hallow scroll]

yea, my final is next wednesday

[rustic topaz]

😮

[low vale]

I gotta fully finish blind75 at some point, there are some questions that just make me stop and do somethign else

[rustic topaz]

did you do oa before I asked you?

i forgot

[hallow scroll]

valid, ive never done the dp portion because I haven't learned dp yet

[rustic topaz]

Damn

[low vale]

that's the part that makes me quit

[hallow scroll]

yeah I did it like the 27th or something

[low vale]

the 2d thing is just something that I can't get my head around naturally

[rustic topaz]

Jack Harlow, what type of questions did you get for amazon, I am gonna do it in few days 🙏

[hallow scroll]

dp hard

[rustic topaz]

dp hard 😭

2d Dynamic programming?

2d graph?

[hallow scroll]

strings, sliding window arrays

[rustic topaz]

is that all?

[hallow scroll]

dp hard was a response to something else

yea

[low vale]

there are 2 types of dynammic programming memoization and tabulation

[rustic topaz]

yea

tabulation is complicated to me 😭

[low vale]

memoization is pretty straightforward

i call tabulation 2d

and it hurts me

[proud whale]

Is capital one OA -> final

[rustic topaz]

Yeah

[proud whale]

How do we get NY or SF

[rustic topaz]

for C1?

I would do that for 75$ 💀

Assumin you don't have other internships

💯

[honest spire]

i want to live in virginia

[low vale]

I think the heat would kill me

[stark basin]

why Virginia

[low vale]

that's where c1, some aws groups and other places are

[stark basin]

ah

anyone want to go to Georgia

[low vale]

I got friends in Georgia so I wouldn't mind

[stark basin]

https://open.spotify.com/track/1c7UYTut2SBOPq64o2t0uN?si=a31d4dbb27314ed8

[sinful locust]

Yo where the FUCK is my Amazon final time confirmation

[stark basin]

how many final times did you give them

[sinful locust]

I gave them three days all afternoon

[low vale]

mfw when I wait a week to apply to amazon and don't get the oa for years

[hallow scroll]

check portal too

I saw my confirmation on the portal before I got the email

[low vale]

an lck enjoyer

pog

[hallow scroll]

sadge

I think theyre backed up rn

ik people whove had to submit more times

[sinful locust]

Unfortunate

[low vale]

Idt they switch to something else till you get the OA

[sinful locust]

It switched after I submitted oa

[low vale]

amazon uses karat btw right?

[rustic topaz]

What does it say now 😮

[low vale]

how did your oa compare with other karat interviews?

[sinful locust]

Under review ?

[rustic topaz]

Oh

nvm

[sinful locust]

No hackerrank

[low vale]

I got my palantir interview and I don't know if they're going to ask me if I like to eat babies

oh

i thought it was a karat

welp

[hallow scroll]

nah

[low vale]

going in blind

[hallow scroll]

karats are rough

[low vale]

someone fed me misinformation

[hallow scroll]

I did one for mongodb and it was hard for me

[sinful locust]

I did karat for Intuit and second question was p difficult ngl

[hallow scroll]

I got the palantir karat as well which is surprising since I dont go to a well ranked school, I thought they simped big colleges

true

[sinful locust]

And it’s not like a regular interview, they don’t give u hints or feedback during th e interview

[hallow scroll]

this is dependent on the interviewer

[sinful locust]

Oh I see
