[low vale]

they do, but not this early. Applying this early means you're either a fucking nerd or want to work at Palantir

[hallow scroll]

my mongodb one was willing to help but I sucked balls at coding so I still failed

[low vale]

both cases work for them

[rustic topaz]

Damn y'all mfs are competitive

[hallow scroll]

understandable

[coarse marten]

New pfp?

Or I am trolling

The color

[hallow scroll]

same I think

[low vale]

Yeah it'd be good experience, I don't see why not

[coarse marten]

Wasn't the background red before?

[hallow scroll]

oh wait

yeah diff pfp

[low vale]

this'll be my first karat so that's definitely some good experience if I ever have to do this type of stuff before

[hallow scroll]

i forgor 💀

[coarse marten]

Did you change recently?

[low vale]

No, take a little time for it I think. They apparently care about the short response.

[hallow scroll]

yeah but I have the brain capacity of a squirrel

ty

[honest spire]

ic

[low vale]

Oh palantir got rid of their early admissions thing

that's weird

it used to say early admissions under internships

[rustic topaz]

Are you guys aiming for quant?

[hallow scroll]

palantirs interview process is pretty rough from what ive heard so it would be a good way to guage where im at

even tho im probably gonna fail at the karat

[low vale]

Nah, I'm not really interested in that

[low vale]

I'll lyk how mine goes

I got it tmw

[hallow scroll]

gl

[low vale]

💀

[coarse marten]

It's not lc style

I mean 1 is coding/dsa but it's certainly different than pure lc

[hallow scroll]

Yeah I’ve heard

Sys des too right?

[coarse marten]

Yes

And random topic

[rustic topaz]

How many times do you guys redo questions?

@hallow scroll @low vale

[junior hull]

I did mine on Wednesday (karat)

First 10 mins were questions about a given program (time complexity, does it work etc.)

interviewer spoke quite fast

next 45 mins were technical Qs

3 questions all based around the same idea just adding variations

First was easy, second lower end medium graph DFS, third was harder medium variation of the same problem.

I got the first two fine but ran out of time before I could run the solution to the last one

Interviewer will stick to timing and cut you off if you're out of time for a section, no leniency for that afaik

[whole kelp]

am i supossed to know what n is

is n the total size of the matrix?

[queen plover]

two nested for loops is o(n^2) most of the cases

[coarse marten]

Two for loops are not always n^2

[queen plover]

most of the times

ofc i know that

[coarse marten]

Definitely not

The problem with this question is that you need to do the assumption that totalRows == totalColums

[queen plover]

ok so what's your solution

[coarse marten]

Same as you

But the complexity should be O(r*c)

[whole kelp]

yeah

[queen plover]

bro there's only n there

[whole kelp]

but that is 0(n)

n being the sie of thge matrix

[coarse marten]

Are you trolling?

N could be anything

It's just a variable

But it is not defined

[whole kelp]

so di i have to assume

[coarse marten]

It could be any property

[coarse marten]

Yes, for sure

[whole kelp]

and i assumed n was the size of the matrix

n = cols * rows

what else could it be?

[coarse marten]

Pretty sure they are expecting O(N^2)

[whole kelp]

like n^2 would be fine if the matrix was a square one

still not submitted

i have 40h left

[queen plover]

you don't know what assumption is?

[coarse marten]

I know

If the question was well worded, you should not do any assumption

[queen plover]

LOL

yea sure

do whatever you want

[whole kelp]

no no

i really want your advice here

!

[coarse marten]

Bro really thinks saying O(N^2) here is correct

When N is not defined

[queen plover]

I doubt it

[whole kelp]

the thing is that is not worded at all :((

[sinful locust]

guys its not that serious ! 😦

[rustic topaz]

guys its not that serious ! 😦

[ivory ocean]

N is defined in the function tho?

In that example, N = rows * columns and that function is O(n)

[ivory ocean]

Pretty sure they’re expecting you to use the n in the function as n

Which in this case is total input

Which I always wondered why n is implied to be total input for every other input and only is assumed to be a single edge for matrices

[static spindle]

uhhhhh

If it’s big O

Then it’s n^2

n is often used to count the number of something (as in n = amount), so it’s normal to use n as a variable

But the runtime complexity has nothing to do with what variables are called, so it’s a different n

[sinful locust]

its just as input size increases how does runtime increase

[coarse marten]

Maybe, I believe you are right. I didn't pay attention to the n used inside the function. Mb. My point is that this question is poorly worded because complexity should be expressed on properties of input parameters. Not on the work done inside the function.

[ember bison]

yup

its their fault for making it rly vague

[sinful locust]

hey json

when did ur portal change

@north scroll

[white zinc]

i got one

[ivory ocean]

If n is literally not defined or mentioned anywhere else though, and there's a random n in the function that could've been computed without the for loops rather easily, I'd bet they want you to use that n

[ivory ocean]

Yeah it's definitely shit wording, idk why they'd try to define it in the function because it just makes it even more vague

[whole kelp]

so

i am going for O(n)

then

[coarse marten]

Yes

[whole kelp]

thanks for ur time

[coarse marten]

Go for n

[whole kelp]

really appreciate it

[jaunty coyote]

Did Jp Morgan stop using hirevue for this season?

[ivory ocean]

no

wait

nvm

i got sent a hackerrank

got em mixed up

Today we do GM

And JPMC

[jaunty coyote]

Is the hackerrank automatically sent or only sent after screening from the pymetrics

[ivory ocean]

Mine is for SWE

So no pymetrics

[jaunty coyote]

Mine is swe too, i read online even for swe they used pymetrics

[ivory ocean]

Oh

Never got it so

idk

[soft basin]

amazon still hasn’t sent me confirmation yet for interview time 😐

[jaunty coyote]

Oh ok

[soft basin]

it’s def gonna be delayed as shit

[ivory ocean]

me neither

mine was supposed to be this afternoon

lmfao

[soft basin]

my portal is still under review too

[jaunty coyote]

Also, is there like a due date for the JPMC hackerrank? It didnt say anything

[ivory ocean]

same

[ivory ocean]

no idea

doing it today

[soft basin]

this shit is gonna be delayed till my first week of classes 😭

[ivory ocean]

Yea I emailed the help email they gave us

3 days, no response there either

so idk man maybe they forgot i exist

there's an AMZ recruiter in this chat wish he'd pop up and go check my file lol

[sacred seal]

what do u guys do an hour before an intvw?

[sinful locust]

jpm chase hirevue was only coding

hackerrank*

[ivory ocean]

how bad/easy was it

[sinful locust]

pretty easy

iirc only array problems

i finished both in like 20 mins

[ivory ocean]

suweet

[white zinc]

apparently roblox bar is fr 840+

need to retake codesignal before i apply

[craggy barn]

I got 2 lc hards so just pray u get it easy

[ivory ocean]

❤️ random

[white urchin]

how do you know?

[white zinc]

talked to roblox employee

he said it was possible but most people have 840+ even the pm interns

[white urchin]

If I get 840 on codesignal, why would I apply for pm

[white zinc]

a good question

[white urchin]

complete stupidity

[ember bison]

bro wtf

those PMs are better at coding than faang swes 🤣

[white urchin]

does the cognitive assessment actually matter?

[white zinc]

idk lol i didn’t ask about that

[safe grove]

So is it a waste of time to submit an 830 to Roblox? Should I roll the dice and retake it then to try and get 840+?

[white urchin]

for 840, you have to submit all 4 questions correctly right?

[safe grove]

Yeah

I got all but one test case on Q3 last time so I got about an 830

[white urchin]

so if you take like 65 min and get all 4 right, what's that about

[safe grove]

840 is the average for 1,2,3,4 so I think it's possible to get < 840 if you take the entire 70 mins

[ivory ocean]

what company is that

sounds awesome

[ember bison]

yo anyone taken IMC video OA

[eternal hornet]

how quickly should you do your oa for companies when you receive it?

[soft basin]

depends on the company’s hiring process

[hallow scroll]

Or headcount

if it’s a unicorn with a headcount of like 10 people it’s best to do it asap

If it’s big tech you can normally wait for the last day and you’ll still be fine

[eternal hornet]

i just wanna do it when I'm less stressed and burnt out

and this is for Cisco and JPMC since they're the only ones who have sent me one

no Microsoft tho. Although I did only apply yesterday

[sinful locust]

i got oa right after i applied

or pretty soon after

[hallow scroll]

Anyone else get the greylock VIP thing?

[queen plover]

I did

[cosmic lion]

is there a c1 intern server?

[hallow scroll]

Nope

[hallow scroll]

Do you know what it is

Idk seems more private then the original tech fair

[queen plover]

No idea

Yeah i think so

[sinful locust]

Do companies care about GPA if you already have past internship experience?

[hallow scroll]

No

I have a 2.4

Lol

Hopin sucks but at least it’s less people

10% of like 600 I think it was?

That’s still a lot tho nvm

💯

[sinful locust]

Lol bro I have some news for you guys, my internship just ended this week and this new manager came in and said she couldn’t extend me a full time offer because of my grades from during the global pandemic 💀

[hallow scroll]

Damn bruh wtf

Your company is tripping

Yeah Fr

[tardy ridge]

For Amazon first round OA, how do I prepare for LPs?

[sinful locust]

Not because of my actual performance at the internship or the fact that I could write production grade code, but strictly because she asked for my transcript and started nitpicking on grades from off of it 💀 even though it was medical

[tardy ridge]

and can someone tell me the format for the first OA

[fleet dew]

Anyone knows joining grace hopper will guarantee got the job or not ?

[sinful locust]

I won’t say the name, but pretty large financial insurance company

are u a woman

[fleet dew]

No mate this my first time I participated no idea how that is lol

[hallow scroll]

Weird

Ig some companies are weird about it

But big tech normally isn’t

Google moved me on after seeing my 2.4 twice

[sinful locust]

i just want my amzn confirmation

so i can make a timeline

[soft basin]

frfr

[sinful locust]

of prep and other shit

[soft basin]

this amazon final better not overlap with my capital one final

[tardy ridge]

What’s the format for the first Amazon OA

[soft basin]

rng

[sinful locust]

id rather have it today than in like two - three weeks

[soft basin]

just study and you’ll do fine

[tardy ridge]

How do you study for LP

[sinful locust]

bohit its all over the internet its just two coding and lps

u read them

[tardy ridge]

Oh ok

[sinful locust]

and try to think with that mindset

yo

on the sliders like what would the ultimate amazonian do

[soft basin]

watch amazon start limiting finals after the last round

[sinful locust]

basically choose what would make them the most money but also make u seem the most human

lmao

deliver on time, learn, be right

[soft basin]

one of the lps is luck so try to answer questions pertaining abt luck

[sinful locust]

😭

[tardy ridge]

Wdym

[sinful locust]

yeah make sure to choose that youre lucky

[soft basin]

you’ll see

i can’t disclose the question

i am lucky to get amazon final 😭

[sinful locust]

LOL

[soft basin]

if i even get it scheduled with this rate

[sinful locust]

everytime i succeed, it is because i am a very lucky person

[soft basin]

ngl tho i am lucky to get cap one final

[sinful locust]

no youre not they hand them out to everyone u are above their threshhold

we just need to perform in the actual inteview

😭

[soft basin]

there was no way my codesignal score was within the threshold

580 😭😭

[sinful locust]

what was it

[sinful locust]

Bro any company judging me based on my gpa after a global pandemic, I literally do not want to work for them, especially with past internship experience

are u talking about out of 1200

codesignal score is out of 850

[soft basin]

it was bad bro

[sinful locust]

its impossible

[soft basin]

ye it was out of 1200

[hallow scroll]

Yeah for sure

[sinful locust]

thats not ur act socre

ur act score is out of 850

[soft basin]

i have the report

lemme pull it up

[fleet dew]

I don’t know i still got selected for grace hopper event :)) and they also ask me gender when fill out the form lol

[sinful locust]

u literally cant get below 600 if u attempt a singlequestions

no u cant get below 600 it says lmfao

[quaint bolt]

This one’s different from your actual score, the actual one’s on the top right of that page

[sinful locust]

U had google twice?

[hallow scroll]

Just once, I meant original application where they ask for it then when they request your transcripts before your interview

[sinful locust]

the top left number is your score not the one out of 1200

[quaint bolt]

Google doesn’t really care about gpa tho I think at least as long as it’s above 3.0

[sinful locust]

Is LinkedIn premium worth it

[soft basin]

i only answsered one question

[quaint bolt]

Even then I haven’t heard of them rejecting anyone recently bc of gpa

[fleet dew]

Could we got old code signal result to apply to others ?

[sinful locust]

yes

[hallow scroll]

[soft basin]

wait it was 683 never mind

still horrendous tho

[hallow scroll]

If you’re cold emailing heavy then yeah

Even then eh

I used my free trial and forgot to cancel

[sinful locust]

💀

That’s how they get u

[soft basin]

💀

[sinful locust]

yoooo chick fil a gave me first round interview

[soft basin]

W

[hallow scroll]

Fr always

[soft basin]

did u get hired?

or are u goin to final round?

weird

[craggy barn]

I just added it in without a second thought

[fleet dew]

Cap1 oa hard everyone

[sinful locust]

cap1 oa is gca

[soft basin]

general coding assessment

[fleet dew]

Are all of gca from all of companies have them same difficulty

[sinful locust]

standardized

all same

similar

but all rng

sometimes

[fleet dew]

If compare with lc, is that 1: easy and 2: med

[long slate]

1 and 2 are both easies tbh

[hallow scroll]

Its normally 2 easy 2 med or maybe 1 med and 1 hard

[long slate]

4 is medium

[hallow scroll]

I feel like 4 and 3 are mediums but one can be hard with bad rng

[quaint bolt]

If you’re very unlucky, sometimes q4 can be insane

Last year a friend and I got competitive programming qs for q4 sometimes

[hallow scroll]

Yeah I’ve gotten some hard q4s

[fleet dew]

Are the test cases strict ?

[quaint bolt]

They seemed to have made it much easier this year tho, but still rng

As long as you meet the time complexity requirements, you’re fine

No need to micro-optimize

[hallow scroll]

You can get more points if your code is clean and good tho apparently

[echo lynx]

Hey people

Would you guys mind rendering your suggestions on a quick question?

How recognized do you guys think Intuit is generally speaking?

[steady crow]

pretty well known

[fleet dew]

The problem is medium lc but the prompt of questions is very confused

[echo lynx]

Ah really?

[steady crow]

Yeah its a majro software company

[soft basin]

i sometimes watch neetcode

sometimes hes shit with his explanation

[steady crow]

kinda like a level below faang

[echo lynx]

How well known do you think it is on a scale of 1-10 compared to FLAMINGASS companies?

[echo lynx]

Ah really?

[steady crow]

yeah i'd say its like a level below top unicorns

[fleet dew]

I really like neetcode voice u guys

So relaxable

[quaint bolt]

He replied to one of my comments back in the day - I am objectively cooler than the rest of you

[echo lynx]

Ah wow

Really?

Ah

Did not know that man

[desert pivot]

should i start applying now? what do u guys think

is it too early?

[echo lynx]

How would you compare Intuit to say: Salesforce and Cisco though?

[wooden shard]

Does post interview call mean offer for c1?

[whole kelp]

is there any regex expert here?

[spark hearth]

I'm a regex exprt

[whole kelp]

🙂

may i ask you something?

[obsidian mason]

do interns get reached out to on linkedin for swe positions? kinda curious if my linkedin is just not optimized

[steady crow]

Very similar maybe a tiny bit worse

[echo lynx]

Ah

A tiny bit worse???

[steady crow]

idk

[steady crow]

Why r u so curious lol

[echo lynx]

Ah, I just really wanted to have a general idea of things

I see I see

Wait, how much worse than Salesforce is it though?

Like much worse?

Ah I see

[fleet dew]

Intuit is remote or office mate

[formal gust]

Does palantir do visa sponsorships?

do they?

sponsor?

[slow veldt]

at this point i think one should just optimize for recession considerations lmao

[steady crow]

Wait what?? 230-280k for return offers?

And their regular ft is only 190k?

So 50k sign-on only for return offers?

Damn ok

[sinful locust]

But do u rlly want to work at hft full time

Remote >

I went into the office once this whole summer

And bro I hated it

Why

You get to hang out with your teammates

[sinful locust]

It sucked, working from home I could avoid the commute, gas prices, and eat while I work, do whatever I want

[cosmic summit]

Yessir that’s me, I’m fine with staying at C1 for now tho

I have a intern return offer, just applying to better companies and see if I can go somewhere better, but if not I’m comfortable here

[sinful locust]

Fake ur grad date

[cosmic summit]

In the incubator program right now which is for underclassmen, but will be a junior so will be in the junior intern program next summer

[sinful locust]

Oh

Ru from umd or uiuc

[cosmic summit]

UMD yea

[sinful locust]

Do a big tech next summer

[cosmic summit]

Yea I just started applying, just got Amazon OA

Internship grind so much less stressful when you have a backup plan

Yeah exactly, I’m probably starting grind/blind 75 a bit late tho

[crisp berry]

they're interviewing me so probably

[tardy ridge]

When someone refers you for Amazon, how long does it take to get the link to apply

[ivory ocean]

is gm hirevuew code only/

[safe grove]

Yes

[cosmic summit]

Do referrals just get you an OA/skip an OA or do they actually help later on?

[safe grove]

Imo CodeVue is the worst platform for OAs

[formal gust]

Referrals increase your chance of getting an OA by 20%

Imo

[sinful locust]

its def not late

from tagged tho right

[sand pendant]

SF apps are out again

[hallow scroll]

Yeah I got the email

[sand pendant]

yeah

[cosmic summit]

Is new grad applying process harder than intern apply process?

[worn bear]

send link

[hallow scroll]

Salesforce

[fickle ivy]

how do i edit

an application on workday

[lost remnant]

does salesforce do offseason?

[fickle ivy]

i fucked up my initial salesforce application

[sand pendant]

Check out this job at Salesforce: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3207493468

[earnest hatch]

Once you submit you can't re-edit it

[earnest hatch]

They do fall for US sometimes, winter has only been for certain unis in Canada afaik

[sand pendant]

even fall is coop schools I think

[rugged knoll]

is jpmorgan OA auto?

[spark hearth]

yes

[earnest hatch]

Mostly yes, but this year they had fall positions open in the US (before they were cancelled due to hiring freeze)

[muted summit]

anyone know what you needa get on jpmorgan oa to move on or is it resume screen after oa

[hallow scroll]

I think all companies that have auto oa always have a resume screen after

[trim vigil]

is jpmc even good?

[hallow scroll]

Jpmc is really good for 2nd year internship

In general they’re not bad in terms of resume value

But yeah I’ve heard the actual internship and engineering is kinda bad

Good thing I don’t play league

Interviewing with a company that’s culture heavy is kinda stressful ngl

I was sweating balls during my slack interview

Good 🤝

I’ve done some auto oas and brain farted on all of them

I hate oas

[quaint bolt]

good

waiting for gooble to start host matching for w23

[hallow scroll]

I have an offer but I might try to get another because I’m nervous about recession

[quaint bolt]

indeed

I have ascended

[hallow scroll]

I don’t think my company is giving me a return offer 💀

I spent my summer leetcoding

Yeah

[quaint bolt]

My interviews were a mix of medium qs with hard follow ups

[hallow scroll]

Good thing I’m heading to coinbase next!

[quaint bolt]

Doable with B75 tho

[hallow scroll]

My interviews were both mediums too for google

They like their meds

[quaint bolt]

Doesn’t hurt to use one

[eternal hornet]

is Microsft oa auto?

i applied like yesterday. Was that too late?

also, I applied to Amazon around july 13th and haven't heard anything back

shall I assume the worst?

[reef shell]

wait

google already closed for summer 2023?? damn

why do these companies do it so early

does anyone have a list of internships deadlines for big companies?

[real idol]

Google never opened su 23

They open Sept 15 ish

[reef shell]

oh

why is the winter 2023 already open

[tardy ridge]

For Amazon, if somebody referred you, how long does it take to get the application link

[reef shell]

and the deadline is soon

[stark basin]

winter 2023 is before summer 2023

i'm pretty sure

[real idol]

Winter 23 is jan- may

Yep

[reef shell]

oh bruh

[stark basin]

winter -> summer -> fall

[reef shell]

im stupid ok i see

lol

thank you guys

[ivory ocean]

The absolute neanderthal-ian urge to slam the JPMC OA while clocked in

5 wazowskis and I do it

[ivory ocean]

Nah 2 people can not just spam different wazowskis

oh fuck were at 3

[midnight halo]

ah shit

[midnight halo]

can’t

what for

[ivory ocean]

i have a q

[soft basin]

theres so many ppl doin capital one powerday this yr

[ivory ocean]

lol there are 5 on the wrong one, I guess 2 people have shown their opinion

my school's comp sci department worked with them one year to build a mobile app for them that can control and communicate with their military satellites

[ivory ocean]

oh shit

6

[wooden shard]

is 819 good enough for roblox tier companies or should i retake codesignal?

[ivory ocean]

alr boys jpmc time wish me luck

[ivory ocean]

people in here have been saying roblox is 840 this year

[wooden shard]

good luck

fukkk

[ivory ocean]

I don't know if I believe it because that's a ballistic score

like that's insane

[wooden shard]

thats tough

[ivory ocean]

Isn't 840 like all 4 in 20 min or so

[wooden shard]

i did 124 and half of 3

in 65 min

lol

[slow quarry]

Ppl got past Roblox with 800+

[wooden shard]

oh fr thats good to hear

[slow quarry]

Just look at past Reddit threads

[ivory ocean]

okay so they were wrong

good

thanks for clarifying

Kinda mad now

[simple salmon]

i got 847 with 45 mins, so no

[ivory ocean]

I deleted the link to my roblox oa when I heard that

lmfao

I think its in my email trash bin tho

[ocean widget]

Doesn’t roblox have two other parts tho

[slow quarry]

If anyone wants another datapoint, Instabase(the won with the goofy aah usaco plat ass oa last year) passed me with an 822 this season

[ocean widget]

The ecosystem and robot car ones

damn usaco plat

[slow quarry]

Yea centroid decomposition

[wooden shard]

i spent hella time on 4 debugging rip

[ocean widget]

Wait what, as an interview question?

[wooden shard]

my 3 was ez too

[ocean widget]

Centroid decomposition?

[static spindle]

Is codesignal an OA?

[ocean widget]

Ye

Damn you guys are getting Amazon OAs? 👀

[fickle ivy]

hopefully cap1 final is good

[fickle ivy]

glgl

[noble ore]

check out palantir path once that comes out

[ivory ocean]

If all test cases and optimal on JPMC buuut like only technically optimal, is it still likely to pass

like lets say O(3n) instead of (1n)

still O(n)

but 3 passes

[fickle ivy]

um

yes lmao

[ivory ocean]

okay good

[fickle ivy]

thats how complexity works

[ivory ocean]

was worried

[fickle ivy]

ah

[ivory ocean]

yeah i know it is

[fickle ivy]

nah

[ivory ocean]

but some banks

even if you're "asymptomatically optimal"

they will reject if you do a 2 pass instead of the possible 1 pass solution

[fickle ivy]

asymptomatically

sigh covid has ruined us

[sinful locust]

no way they care ab the oa right

like

[ivory ocean]

lmao

[sinful locust]

its just whether u pass tc?

[ivory ocean]

I meant asymptotically

[sinful locust]

or do they look at it lol

[ivory ocean]

i mean idk

[sinful locust]

like an actual engineer

[fickle ivy]

anyone heard back form

sentry or verkada

[ivory ocean]

they look

[slow veldt]

i jus accepted

[sinful locust]

i shit

oh

i should stop

using one letter variable names

[ivory ocean]

okay cool JPMC doesn't care about 1 vs 2 vs 3 pass whatever?

[sinful locust]

and shoudl comment my code

[slow veldt]

for _ in range(x):

[ivory ocean]

so long as it's o(n)

[sinful locust]

a = ...

b = ...

[rough parcel]

[slow veldt]

[rough parcel]

[rough parcel]

i hate OA's

[ivory ocean]

I'm genuinely excited for Cap1 final

[fickle ivy]

wat

sus

[ivory ocean]

and write functions to parse and use data

ohhh

what happens if I say "hey can I get no LC"

[willow canopy]

[craggy barn]

That’s the case interview

[eternal hornet]

Wait, is jpmc internship only 10 weeks?

[ivory ocean]

yeah

ik

[craggy barn]

Technical could be OOP, LC + OOP or just LC

[ivory ocean]

but the guy I talked to also had no LC for technical interview

[fickle ivy]

swe or trader

[ivory ocean]

ohh okay

how intense of OOP

like design lru cache

[fickle ivy]

wait trader isnt open right

so just swe

[ivory ocean]

or like get clowned design a class that embodies a user on a website complete with salting and hashing for passwords

[fickle ivy]

TRADER IS OPEN

SHEESH

[craggy barn]

I haven’t done it yet but from what I gathered it’s just designing a simple application

[safe grove]

That's a standard length of an internship, right?

[ivory ocean]

okay cool

horny for that

[eternal hornet]

Isn’t it 12?

[ivory ocean]

10 is more common ime

but 12 does exist too

[eternal hornet]

Oh damn, really?

[ivory ocean]

either are common

[safe grove]

I think 10 or 12 is standard

[eternal hornet]

Which ones are 10?

Other than jpmc?

[ivory ocean]

Most FAANG

[safe grove]

I think Goldman Sachs is also 10 weeks

[ivory ocean]

I thought FAANG tended to be 10?

[safe grove]

A lot of finance companies are 10

[honest spire]

[ivory ocean]

Bro

that email Amazon gave us

[fickle ivy]

which email

[ivory ocean]

[fickle ivy]

no fbi agent present

[ivory ocean]

when you schedule your final it comes with an email address to ask questions to

emailed it 5 days ago

and no response

[fickle ivy]

what did u ask

[ivory ocean]

how to reschedule my interview

[fickle ivy]

F

[ivory ocean]

because it was meant to be today but I never got confirmation

no clue mat

mate

[fickle ivy]

wdym meant to be today

if they didnt confirm its not today right

[ivory ocean]

I asked for it to be today

no answer for 10 days

[fickle ivy]

oh

thats tough

[ivory ocean]

12 days now

[fickle ivy]

do referrals at jane street help

or no

[ocean widget]

uuh how are you guys preparing for quant firms D:

[fickle ivy]

not preparing

💀

[ocean widget]

im a bit worried about the math part bc i suck at maths

[fickle ivy]

hoping to just get an interview first

[fickle ivy]

which firm

optiver?

[tardy ridge]

do you know how long it takes after you get a referred just to get the amazon application link?

[ocean widget]

optiver and Jane st.

[fickle ivy]

for optiver

just grind rfqjobs

tests

[ocean widget]

haven't applied to optiver yet but am considering it

[fickle ivy]

until u get 60/65+ on 80in8

yeah optiver OA trader is dificil

[ivory ocean]

CLEAN code

or clean code

[fickle ivy]

does johnson and johnson have OA

[ocean widget]

ive seen a friend apply and it seemed like hell

[fickle ivy]

i applied

[ocean widget]

he's trying to get me to apply so im like ok but i need to prep lol

[fickle ivy]

can confirm it is hell

am prepping for interview

[ivory ocean]

don't you have to do another 80 in 8

[fickle ivy]

me?

only if i get the offer

[ivory ocean]

Imagine if you passed 80 in 8 on OA, got to in-person retake of it, and choke so bad they think you cheated on the OA and blacklist you for life

I would kms

okay

so clean code

CLEAN is like an actual defined guiding rule

like a religion for good code

https://gist.github.com/wojteklu/73c6914cc446146b8b533c0988cf8d29

this is a summary of the book

there's like a 200 page book a bout it

[fickle ivy]

hikaru nakamura

LMAO

should have asked him to bring yo usome

[eternal hornet]

Who did you get a referral from

[tardy ridge]

a friend of mine

[eternal hornet]

Tell that friend to hmu and that we should hang out some time 😉

[soft basin]

idt amazon referral gets u anywhere 😂

[tardy ridge]

yea but doesnt it usually give you an application link to apply for the job

i didnt even get that

i thought that might be instant

[ocean widget]

yikes lol im horrible at mental math

[soft basin]

🤣

[tardy ridge]

i didnt even get that 💀

[soft basin]

my hopes of even scheduling my amazon final are goin downhill

[swift valley]

I just took Palantir’s Karak, got first two question correct, the first one mostly because I ran out of time. Do you guys think I should redo?

[soft basin]

these mfs take years to respond

[tardy ridge]

friend referred me and amazon didnt send me an application portal

[swift valley]

I think it will take some time

[tardy ridge]

hopefully man

i rly dont wanna get rejected just through a friend's referral

youd think that a referral would atleast allow you to submit an application

[soft basin]

wdym

i might take a lc break for the rest of today

and move onto graphs and trees tomorrow

i think ive got hashmaps in the bag

[tardy ridge]

with roblox, after you take their codesignal and if you presumably get a 840+ on it, do they usually call you for second round?

[versed kestrel]

from reddit, seems like the cognitive part is important as well

[tardy ridge]

hm ok

what is the cognitive part?

[swift valley]

How do I see my score after code signal?

[tardy ridge]

just go to your profile and past history

[versed kestrel]

its in pending

[swift valley]

Ohhh I see

844

Is this good

Or no

[ocean widget]

yikes do roblox send emails instead of just calling

im not in the states rn and don't have my sim card installed 👀

[swift valley]

nice

[sinful locust]

its so early into the cycle why are you losing hope lmao

[sinful locust]

asdfasdf

Message recruiter

https://instabase.com/careers/?gh_jid=6261089002

nice

[rustic topaz]

Fax

[sinful locust]

yo

To be eligible, you must have a GPA > 2.67, and will need to prepare a research proposal by contacting a professor to discuss potential research topics. It is recommended that students have received at least an A in the professor's course for consideration.

how do i go on about finding a research topic

they're giving away 8k

[hollow sun]

Ask the professor for topics

[steady crow]

Wait

so what do you do

Roblox obby? Tf

Do you play phantom forces or something wtf

oh but how

[hollow sun]

Nah tycoon

[steady crow]

Actually? lol

how do you do a cognitive test on roblox

[hallow scroll]

It’s not actually roblox

[hollow sun]

U have to 1v1 builderman

[hallow scroll]

One of them is a shitty interface ran in your browser that runs like shit and the other is made in roblox but it’s not your traditional roblox game

True

Beat an iq obby 1 try

[mystic depot]

anybody here know about DRW, ngl i have never heard of them. are they equivalent to optiver/citadel/2sig etc

[hallow scroll]

Yes

[steady crow]

Ya top firm

[mystic depot]

https://tenor.com/view/hmm-dot-dot-dot-stick-figure-intresting-gif-23376515

hmmm might have to skip that app then lol not sure im good enough for that

[steady crow]

This is so confusing i still don’t get how they can run an iq test playing roblox Lol

[eternal hornet]

Yeah, bro, I haven’t even heard back from amazon

[hallow scroll]

The roblox game is a robot maker and you have a limited amount of parts you can use, you have to build a robot that can successfully pass a car course but there’s certain factors on the course that will cause your robot to fail

[steady crow]

oh damn

[hallow scroll]

So you have to use the parts that do different things and find a combination that can get you to finish the track, it’s pretty hard actually

[steady crow]

Interesting…

[mystic depot]

but then again if i was to get an interview, its more interview experience, perhaps i will apply

https://tenor.com/view/jbtzxclsv-and-so-what-who-gif-19034794

[steady crow]

hows roblox wlb culture pay growth

[eternal hornet]

If I update my profile on the amazon application portal, will that update my application with my new resume

You think that will help 😭

[hallow scroll]

Apparently they have a toxic culture but in terms of interning it’s probably pointless

They have a super low return offer rate

Someone ik knows roblox interns and told me this

[mystic depot]

major win for myself, not eligible to apply cant suffer with the toxic culture if u cant apply

https://tenor.com/view/think-smart-gif-22411928

[hallow scroll]

For intern and new grad pay it’s fat tho, but I think they’re focusing more on hiring senior talent then early career

[steady crow]

damn that sucks

i used to wanna work at roblox when i was like 9 lol

[hallow scroll]

Most internships are team dependent so might’ve just been a bad team

[simple salmon]

Anyone know if amazon tracks tabs during final interview? i was planning on having a notepad with bullets for speaking points

[hallow scroll]

They do

[simple salmon]

unfortunate

thanks

[sinful locust]

Jump better than IMG

[hallow scroll]

Just ask your interviewer if it’s okay

[sinful locust]

In my opinion

I also think Jump > five rings

JumpStart

Howdy

[simple salmon]

yep appreciate it

[sinful locust]

🕷️ 👨

[hallow scroll]

Spider yellow guy

[sinful locust]

Spider MAN

[hallow scroll]

Anyone know if js trading oa is auto

[craggy verge]

Anybody receive an interview for Apple summer 2023 SWE internship?

[hallow scroll]

@past comet

[craggy verge]

I didn’t get it

[hallow scroll]

Interesting

[craggy verge]

I applied two days ago

[hallow scroll]

Also Apple hasn’t begun to interview people yet, if anyone has interviewed they probably reached out to an EM directly

So if you wanna interview rn that’s your best bet

[craggy verge]

Yeah I have done that through LinkedIn and a bit of email but I didn’t get much of a response

[hallow scroll]

Yeah messaging them can be rough, you might be better off at the end of august

[sinful locust]

Tru i should start emailing

[hallow scroll]

Since most EMs aren’t probably looking actively right now

[sinful locust]

^ yeah

@ Sai said some would only know headcount in august
