google usually has a good wlb im not sure abt snap tho

devout fractal
#

snap has good work culture, but so does google tbh

snap is just a bit better

soft basin

google stock is better tho

devout fractal
#

yeah

wraith spade
#

snap >

devout fractal

#

Hey sorry for the ping, but if you face a DP problem in the interview would you implement the top-down solution then bottom up or would you go straight to bottom-up solution?

#

Oh top-down means recursive with a data structures to memorize solved answers and bottom-up means using a n-dimensional array to record solved answers in lieu of a recursive stack.

#

But would you go straight to that or you go top-down first then convert it to bottom up

#

Did you do that in an interview setting as well, esp. for quant firms.

everyone tells me bottom up

i always go top down

#

lmao

proud whale
#

meraki > both ?

#

makes sense

sinful locust
#

if nasa paid more id go nasa but nasa probably is slower in development

proud whale
#

i bet they're full for fall 22' but sending out a yolo message

#

to see if they can move my winter to fall

sinful locust
#

u doin part time?

proud whale
#

especially cause meraki comp so fat

#

i'd do part time school if i got meraki fall

#

das fine

#

part time halves it, meraki quadruples it

hidden gust
#

i just found out that i cant interview with amazon on linux...

#

amazon chime doesnt support linux

#

i have to borrow a laptop from my friend for the interview...

hidden gust
#

i see. my school network blocked amazon chime server ip range for some reason...

#

i can connect to it using my phone hotspot

sinful locust
#

should be fine? also if you’re contemplating taking it now it’ll be too late if you keep worrying about it being late 😂 you’re fine dw

#

just take it as soon as you can i guess

#

or just ask @plain egret WazowskiStare

#

oh really who told you

#

stop impersonating nokker

#

by changing your username

sinful locust
#

840 with good resume?

solar axle
#

doesnt it say you can take it anytime

plush flume
#

FBU vs C1 TIP vs AMZ (I am incoming 2nd yr)

sinful locust
#

Amzn

plush flume
#

Over FBU

sinful locust
#

Or fbu for meta return offer

soft basin
#

fbu id say is better than amz

sinful locust
#

If ur confident u can get meta junior year

solar axle
#

u can get better than meta after amazon internship

sinful locust
#

Without fbu I think amzn not bad either

plush flume
#

Does FBU lead to junior return offer

solar axle
#

also amzn will have best quality work during internship

sinful locust
#

yeah most of the time meta uni -> meta swe is common

#

same with step - > swe

#

id take step over amazon tho

plush flume
#

Fs anything google tbh

sinful locust
#

yeah exactly

plush flume
#

FBU interview looks stupid easy tho

sinful locust
#

yeah i heard theres no technical

sinful locust
#

just bahvioral after oa

plush flume
#

Exactly

sinful locust
#

but its also onyl 8 weeks

plush flume
#

That too

sinful locust
#

if i do amazon im confident for meta the next eyar

#

ideally for me i want amazon spring then google step summer

plush flume
#

I also wouldn’t wanna just do FBU then FB SWE for remaining internships only

sinful locust
#

yeah id wanna try out diff companies

#

i think fbu is really good if u wanna work at facebook

#

but fbu in itself is kinda mid

#

its mobile dev also

#

like a mobile dev bootcamp

plush flume
#

C1 really speak to my finance side but Amazon and FBU has a name

#

Uk

sinful locust
#

i solved both lc optimally and interviewer messaged me onlinkedin that he loved speakign with me and was "excited to see where i go" so i am hoepful

solar axle
#

ez

plush flume
sinful locust
#

yeah in 45 mins

solar axle
#

#

hi

#

good mornign

#

its adecorator

#

decorators are cool

#

lru cache is a function

#

that takes in a functoin

#

and returns a nested function

#

which applies that parameterized function

#

with a memo

#

under the hood

#

there

#

thats it

#

good night

#

fair

weak wadi
#

what peeps talkin about

#

ew code

sinful locust
#

yea default args are defined at function definition right

weak wadi
#

🍃

sinful locust
#

so it just keeps appending

#

yes

#

yea thats non trivial with decorators

#

as a function variable

#

like

#
def function(blah):
  def inner(blah):
    blah
  inner.memo = {}
blah blah
#

like that

#

i think that will do it

if i remember correctly but i could be wrong, too tired

#

oh ok

idk ocaml

#

Js language

#

@sinful locust so this is how realpython articulates it

ok i know this is kind of a meme but i wanna ask seriously

#

does anyone ever actually use the lru_cache decorator in an interview

#

is it a bad idea

#

i feel like its no harder or easier than making a dict/array for dp, its just cleaner

#

would interviewers frown upon it

ember bison
#

i throw it on every function

#

regardless

duccduccduccducc goose

latent ermine
#

I got an OA with 26 grad date so not completely false

#

It clearly mentioned SWE in the email

#

But they'll probably only consider for Propel

#

The thing is you can't separately apply for Propel

#

So it's rng where you get placed

stone yacht
#

propel is less selective

latent ermine
#

I'm using 26 grad date for those underclassmen program

#

For the rest I'm using 25

Wanted to do 24 but that'd be overkill

i sitll don't get why dartmouth is prestigious apart from being in the ivy league lmao

at least all the other ivies have some reason other than ivy status

but ig das kinda toxic vibe, it's a good school either way

latent ermine
#

All Ivies are targets

#

But not all targets are ivys

devout fractal
#

nah i was referring to myself

#

im being kinda toxic

#

i still don't get why college admissions made getting into an ivy league seem so important when it barely helps for internships/jobs tho itsjafer

sinful locust

I mean

#

If ur ivy

devout fractal

ig STEM then

berk is gonna keep on going more and more down the drain
while UCLA and UCI keeps going up

devout fractal
#

that's kinda the vibe i got when i was comparing it with GT. It was way more expensive and seemed way more cutthroat lol

#

cuz to get like research projects or join clubs, u had to apply so much to get in

latent ermine
#

But Pearson Hardman only hires from Harvard

sinful locust
#

yo

#

whats pearson hardman

devout fractal
#

pearson, u mean like my textbooks itsjafer

sinful locust

whats that

latent ermine
devout fractal
#

yeah cuz if u get into a good lab at berk, u auto admit into top PhD

#

right but they mentor u to get pubs real easy

#

cuz like the main thing with pubs is figuring out how ur pub fits the larger narrative

#

if it pushes the larger narrative forward

#

ull probably get published

#

and u need to convince the reviewer of that

#

well anyway, why do u research when u can get good salary with normal swe, only reason i do research cuz it lowkey kinda fun

latent ermine

It was a show reference

nyu sucks because columbia better
