oh
whats a good score
senior is doable in 3-6 years
the terminal level is senior for most people
820+?
815 but i already have 817 on file
senior staff not senior swe
i took forever for q4
lol
3 years??
yeah promoted to mid level in 1, then senior in 2
got rejected by instabase with an 817 
oh do u mean staff to senior staff
then i'd say another promo every 3 years is very feasible
im talking about swe 1 to senior staff
3-6 years for senior. 6-9 for staff, 8-12 for sr. staff if i 'd have to guess
You can get to staff swe in 6-years even at places like google, just gotta be in a high visibility project with a lot of growth opportunity
Which is pretty luck dependent
Something like search infra for instance
3-6 for senior is what i was saying
😪
for stock rsu
u confusing my guy
do u get taxed when they vest then again when u sell them?
we were talking about senior staff
you don't get taxed if u sell immediately
but capital gains will apply from point of vest
U mean black rock
blackcock?
nah there is a company called blackstone as well lmao
yes
for amazon do we get to choose winter summer or fall after offer?
or is it based off of rankings from application
if anyone knows, this is for Canada

you choose
saerom trolling
haha sry
why can't i see my codesignal score in the 'Past Results' section?
unironically wouldn't be surprised tho lol
but its probably just you get it as long as theres headcount
amazon was supposed to send me the preference survey yesterday
tyty 
was it ez tho
but i didn't get it
same
I think theyre slow rn someone else ik didn't get it either
waterloo taking all my jobs
rng, it took me like a month this year but last year I got it in like 4 days
it's just so random
took me 1 business day
last year i didn't even get it
wait might be in my spam
this year took around 2 weeks
I received the SDE assessment arriving soon recently
when did u guys get the oa after that?
within 24 hours I think
oh shit LOL

just click around on other jobs or smth
poker playaaa
Yeah I mean haven’t really ran into issues for the LC level but there’s def things idk
was the pymetrics easy
Do u have a resource suggestion? @sinful locust
yeah
i dont use python enough to know how to use on lc
What did you use to learn
hmm can I apply to audible if I already applied for Amazon summer 2023? the job listing is on Amazon Jobs??
its easy/med
yo does cisco normal (not meraki) accept intls?
That doesn’t innately make u learn more code tho depends on what ur writing
yes its an instant reject
oh bruh so they don't accept intls
dang, wish they'd say in job app :/
For swe interviews at top quant firms, after recognizing if a problem is a DP problem, should you do the top down -> bottom up or go straight to bottom up if possible??
@devout fractal Do oyu know what's gonna show up on the intervew
homie im in the same boat as u
No you're not
You're better than me
😐
summer 23
by when are u supposed to give the imc oa after receiving it?
for minorities in tech
or is it like watered down swe or smt
fuck
how is 2 sigma oa?
also ripplematch is a big scam
i don’t wanna do OA’s anymore
parapgraph before

We launched Palantir Path to reach students who may not have had prior exposure to technical opportunities in an academic or industry setting, or who are earlier in their engineering journey, especially those from underrepresented communities.
Oh hey they got the equivalent of STEP or Explore in palantir now?
shame I’m not a sophomore anymore
was the final interview hard?
but it looks like watered down swe anyways so nvm
it is watered down swe because its specifically for underclassmen who know less about swe and datastructures, etc so the work will be lighter
Can I apply if I’m a minority of Asians
Like not Indian or Chinese or etc
💀
I dont think its underclassmen? it says Graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Summer 2024.
sounds like for seniors that failed to grind leetcode
i wish u could, but idt recruiters notice ngl dude 😦
basically, that's why they just ask if we're asian on apps, but yah, don't hurt to apply
^
like STEP basically
yeah just apply
that's why i was saying it's for minority groups
fair enough I guess I thought the sentence that said "or who are earlier in their engineering journey" referred to underclassmen
I’m guessing they are looking for women, black and Hispanic peoppe???
Why not ?
is palantir path out?
Idk in my uni its 2nd yr
We are now accepting applications for Summer 2023. Early application deadline is Tuesday, September 6 2022 at 9:00 AM PDT. Final deadline to apply is Monday, October 3 2022 at 9:00 AM PDT.

duke is the ultimate sports school
Duke is wild

stanford tree mascot auditions goes crazy
bruh how ucsc's party scene is pretty lame
sources are from high school friends who went to UCSC
they were the uh
partiers
so I guess they could find a good party everywhere
oh fair lmao
two uc's are infamous party schools wdym
UC 🅱️
UC 🅱️
ucsb is one of the best party schools in the country
good quality party school = target school
ucla = target school?
ucla
mit?
UCLA is great
this

a good application portal

mf UW

is UW cs worth 57k?
every college that used Coalition I just refused to apply for
yeah BU >>>
University of Waterloo?
how does Boston and surrounding places have such great universities but the people there mostly just suck
direct admit?
Do they? What’s Boston like
Seems like a nice city
Good info for me to know if I get AR offer lol
what's better
it's a great city
probably harder to buy your way into mit
is the amazon robotics oa different from the amazon sde oa?
Mine was much harder but I bet it’s all RNG
washington
what sort of stuff did they ask
uhh yeah i think
lc hard?
I had a DP couldn’t get optimal and another one I forgot
not H
M?
But I got non optimal for both and got final
summer roommate
So 🤷♂️
le male?
ysl or hermes
Ysl >
does aws have separate positions available?
i think I remember there being some last year
ysl is too sweet
there's no fucking way there's just a cologne called "Le Male"

oh my god there is
but i couldn't find any this year
NEU >> BU
school prestige is overrated
@proud whale how long did it take for you to hear back from amazon robotics and regular sde intern
but
i go to a public school and make triple my roommate that goes to H this summer
Both less than 24 hrs after OA
I like Boston
when I was a kid my mom told me she was gonna show me her school
I thought we were gonna go to Cali but we went to Boston
i was confused af until I realized she went to Berklee and not Berkeley
i feel like this is opposite of the case
how abt from applying
I don’t remember ab from apply period
define best
i mean if u go to uchicago yeah
harvard princeton are pog but elitist
you can apply to prime air, robotics, and regular sde intern right?
nah party schools / more fun schools are all like.
but meh idc abt elitism
nah ivy party culture is just
hella elitist lmao
i would like to identify this as cap
The Social Network taught me otherwise
840+ codesignal and decent on cogntiive prob
bro my roommate literally goes there
MIT is absolutely a party school
stop arguing 😹
H kids go to MIT to party
this is true
yes lol
someone got 7
the few and far between
alternatively you just go to my school where everyone parties drinks and smokes pot 🙂
if people go to another college to party your party probably isn't that good
100,000% over
overall yeah
im just saying like harvard is like that where
a few ppl have the time of their lives
and others dont
mine too and i go to a t20 lolz
@feral void bro
wait
what school
@inner kernel harv?
would you have gotten in tho
what if u didnt get in
and got cucked
do i rlly wanna disclose
i don't even remember what college I REA'd
I just remember getting in 3 out of 19 colleges
i just remember my crippling anxiety holding me back from applying to big schools
should have 😦
ah yes
open curriculum
which was probably smart anyway. better to not waste the application money
where u at Woahhh
who needs college when you have the internet and boot camps, amirite
jomaoppa

/j
the brutalist-feeling parts, idk i'm not an architecture major
S is so cancer
i rea-d stanny
broke my desk at 6pm december 15 2021
i was sad but
more so b
i had to apply to 7 ivies and 6 other schools in
winter break
bc i procrastinated
and spent 2 weeks on rice
i mean they're like from the 19th century or some shit lol
but apparently it's a great honor to live in them
a lot of dorms are like prisons, lol
are we only talking ivies cause stanford was pretty nice
ivy+ ig
princeton > stanford
imo
the only good school is IIT
until u walk off campus 
stop
its beautiful
orange is also an ugly color
just look up jake
jake template is revered
add me too i want to show you my new coirse that’ll help you make millions!
jakes template is so mid
it’s approved by @hearty river
everyone uses it :/

DUCC MATATI

Nuro?
loaded questions and long response times in hirevue
nah
national reconnaissance office
Oh lol
don’t really wanna work for government but
nuro hasnt opened p sure
will worry about that if i have offers to choose from
tracking it lol?
Nah I just have internal referral and recruiters had said they’re gonna reach out so if OAs were starting and I didn’t know wanted to check in
how hard is princeton to get into?
breh really
has anyone done Instabase frontend OA? I remember applying for their general swe but they suggested brushing up on react and code in js/ts ☹️
yeah same they gave that to me too
they probably thought we were more fit for frontend
so is their codesignal gonna really test those skills
i assume you also got rentech 1st internship
Fr
u should give me rentech referral once u get it
what the flex
same
wtf i got past more than you 💀
surely hypsm on your resume is automatic interview wtf
cuz this whole time I thought it was my resume that was bad and focused on overworking myself to improve it
instead of grinding leetcode
ah yeah that might do it
how many days does it take to get amazon OA after you apply
cmu, stan, mit, etc.
wdym
they are busy fucking the final offers
personally, i include
eh- i talked to a cmu person and they got quant interviews super easily??
as a frosh
yeah
even without it’s doable
hmm i should ask my compprog friend at cmu
bkth
yeah so change grad date
prestige matetrs
it does help lmao
im underclassman havent even started college

@fickle ivy are u intl?

i met an mit guy who didn't get internship frosh year though
as in, applied places but didn't get anything
if u go to a top school but don’t have a internship mindset and grind
u won’t get it lmao
idt i have a grind mindset but i still got one as intl
yeah basicslly
phone behavioral trader after oa
@hearty river does
getting anything known name freshmen year is overkill

and some shit projects for garnish
trader i hate coding
wht school are you in?
brown

u got offer and they rescinded it?
i think i did ok today idk
a while back
i'm applying for ng role so dw
dm'd
at inrerview
how was optiver oa
why
u should 100% cap about grad date if you are anythong other than incoming senior
then good rng? idk
anyone started scale proces yet?
everyone from target will disagree and others will agree
lol tf is an IB perspective
same
i finished tho
maybe i get nezt?
or do they res screen
i got lc hard lc annoying
yea
i did solve all
4 rounds
vrutal af
uaya
minimum window substring is an lc annoying
oh gg

min window substring?
sig does math qs for swe?
weird asf

green book
savior
^
< 100
"shit" LMAO
whats sig pay
i’d say at least 50 an hour with relocation help is good for internship
ft at first i’m just getting one for exp then i’ll slowly negotiate my worth when i hop companies
i’m goin for around 120k-130k ng
salesforce no free lunch
well i stand corrected
my company's free lunch is some hot ass so i end up eating at home/out every day
my company's free lunch makes me drive to the office sometimes
most free lunches won’t be good quality lol
goog is p fire
asana 🤤
and asana
tinder 🔥
ive snuck into the google office a few times and the food is to die for
my goal is to work for spotify in like 5 yrs
i just want to work for spotify great culture
i really want to see their recommendation algo
they store a shit ton of song data too
speakers or over ears?
sick
i dont have a tube
but i have sundaras
with amp/dac
yeah they are p sick
hand me downs from my dad
Which office? My office's food is pretty mid
mtv
oh yeah that makes sense
🖐️
oa with 2 questions then 2 back to back phone interviews 45 min each
google is really weird, its hard to prep for
your best bet is being able to do mediums, mostly the harder ones
people say graphs/trees are common but I didn't get either
no behavioral
phones are just 45 mins coding
yep
🙏
I also didn't get any of these, but I interviewed a while ago so they might be more common now
my interview was like 1-2 months ago, but yeah might just be rng
ngl i probs would've bombed a graph/tree question. So i got pretty luckly lol
you know what, fuck this
I got screwed by a dp problem sadly
i'm gonna prepare for one more day and do these god forsaken oa's
I heard theyre not that known to ask dp so I rolled the dice, was not worth
at least the one for jpmc...
how was the OA @hallow scroll
i wonder when apple is gonna start processing apps
never
I got 2 medium questions, they were both arrays/strings
apple recruitment is a blackbox
my roommate got into apple
I think someone emailed a recruiter and they said EMs are gonna start looking end of august
he had a single interview where he was asked to do some stuff with python lists
and he got it
yeah lol apple interviews are also weird and rng
last year an apple recruiter contacted me and then ghosted me
yeah apparently an apple recruiter reached out to him
i’m v interested in apple
@hallow scroll do yk what people usually need to get on the oa to move onto the tech
each question has 2 test cases, I moved on with 3/4 total
if your entire resume is very centered and strong around one field for example full stack, you might have a chance
they have teams for everything
and the team managers are the one that start the process
I applied and didn't think id hear back but I heard back from a full-stack internal tooling team
wondering if its worth doing projects that align with apple if i alr have an internship
same 💀
is apple interview process random and whatever the team manager decides
i put "able to do full stack" on my resume but the reality is that I'm only good with backend and can do a frontend with google, stackoverflow, and an online template.....
hired
pogggg
i also rolled the dice on this lol
will see if it fucks me for G interview
has ever interviewed for rennesaince technologies? and if so , how do you reach out and apply?
i'm not "burnt out" but too tired to really grind these last 2 days
didnt u just get a JS offer
js offer is insane
wait is that the same guy that posted on linkedin looking for a gf lol
yeah hes a troll
he deleted it but I remember seeing something on linkedin like "looking for a girlfriend" and people putting commenting for better reach lol
yeah maybe just cracked
MIT is UT A of the north fr
Think they reach out to you, or someone refers you, they also used ripplematch in the past (not sure still using it anymore)
the divide and conquer solution is harder for me
but it’s the optimal
using heap isn’t optimal
but it’s close
💀
yeah i out every number in heap
now what u gonna say when interviewer asks u to optimize it
it lowkey doesn't deserve to be hard
leave the call
if you know its a heap problem it becomes super easy to do
bruh coding is too hard I just want to get a job and stop leetcode
Listen to water he has amd, nvidia, google, and Jane street
I think so but just be vigilant when giving information
Me too
join our frat
just get into rentech and be better
it's v selective tho
change your major to exercise science
Can I get a referral to the frat?
How do I apply to the frat?
they reach out to you
juh mah is a troll lol
How do you know
im in his frat
Oh
he's actually at amazon
He got reached out by a recruiter to #1 firm?
Hey people.
I have a quick question.
If someone gets an offer with Salesforce, can they choose to be in the Tableau team?
no
Congrats on Salesforce offer
Ah really?
nah
you have to apply to the specific posting
Chic-fil-A apps are out!
Have you ever been curious about the AI that enables Chick-fil-A’s warp speed drive through or the tech stack behind its innovative Chick-fil-A One App? What about the digital architecture behind that delicious Chicken Sandwich or the hardware behind those hot, fresh Waffle Fries? Would you like to be a part of the digital community where inno...
can vegetarians apply to this
no they actually make u eat a chicken sandwich for the final
chic fil a ghosted me last year
wonder how gay people feel about filling out the “anonymous disclosure” section on cfa job application
had a friend who wanted us to watch his tryouts lmao
why are u in there 

any project management internship threads out there?
or even job links bruh i cant find any but swe sde roles
like doesnt necessarily have to be summer 2023
I think oracle had one
yeye
yeah I gotchu post in resume channel
bet
Anyone heard from Citadel after their OA? If yes, then in how many days?
753678 minutes later
Ghosted? Join the gang 🥳
wait, i have to know more about this
please tell me there's a link
Guys if you pass OA, how many days later do you usually have next round?
lmk if u ever find an answer
It depends?
could be 2 days, could be 2 months, could get resume screened out and not get a next round at all
it all depends on company
guys, do we get amazon intern oa after getting resume screened or does the resume screening happen after the oa with your oa results?
the former
okay, and is there any difference if I complete the OA fast?
I mean does amazon give preference to those who solve both questions correctly within 20 mins over others who solve both ques correctly in 40 mins(example)
not sure about this
from what I know, aim for all the test cases on both questions and you should be good
how do you know that?
ahh okay don't think they do then since a lot of people don't even pass all test cases on both questions and still get to the final
okay👍 thanks
are hackerrank scores not disclosed 👀
Damn rip my capital one final might get scheduled for September / october
I hope this don’t make the interview bar higher lol
Capital two
Lower 1
What that mean?
is it too late to change to fall 2023 for amazon cause on my portal it changed to summer 2023
Like idk if like interviewing later in the process makes the company more selective?
Maybe I’m just being weird and overthinking lmao
september isn’t later lmao
a lot of people don’t even apply until december
they hire on a rolling basis, so yes complete the OA in a timely manner
Oh okay lmao just paranoid I guess 
You’re not being paranoid. Many companies hire on a rolling basis.
I believe once they reach their target and people still have interviews, they will make the bar higher
this is true
Makes sense makes sense
They do right? But I heard they selective af
Idk tho, I been ghosted from them
How are they selective af when they pay 27/hr 
i have their video interview
