thanks in advance!
center this div
ok I'm gonna practice designing tic tac toe for js final
Has anyone taken the Amazon OA yet?
Is it hard this time around?
My grad date?
2024 june
yes sir
😄
i am afraid not haha
😄
Have you taken the Amazon OA?
😐
Not sure what to expect on it, kinda terrified
Oh snap
let me dm u
gotcha gotcha
what to practice for amazon oa?
oh nice
tho most state income tax is not much
no for me but it's always rng
how much u study leetcode before takin it
first 50q from b75
how is gusto OA?
ive taken like 20 lc total your boy is not passing amazon oa
gl buddy
thank you 🙂
do yall know if i have to import specific python libraries in hackerrank oas
or is it like lc where i can use anything without defining
We should make reddit posts on r/csmajors
Telling people to dm gokugate
awh hell nah
@fickle ivy did you get amazng
when does bloomberg come out
🤖
back to g75
after my 4 hour break for each lc i solve
wtf is what
lmao
not worried
everyone knows who i am anyway
w/e
does hrt ghost or deny
Just say yes
are u in a wheelchair
Yeah bro all that stuff is just HR stuff
They don’t actually care
Just say the normal answers
Also use the “simplify” chrome extension to mass apply to jobs
It automates the whole process of clicking on stuff like that
why does my untapped app for lyft have the same questions 15 times 😕
U just need to solve q1 q2 q4 to get 800+
Well yea
but the questions are hard
800 seems crazy to me
lmao
just do practice tests and trry to do q1 2 4 only
just pay someone to do it
i would take waterloo
Why?
If I hear Waterloo one more time

waterloo
But those first 3 are better for CS right
Higher ranked
Such as where
They don’t take from Cal?
Tower Research?
Lmao
Five Rings employees are mostly MIT or something iirc
can confirm
Sorry Waterloo south*
?
ya
Where’s my toelands offer
I’m not choosing between those I’m just curious
What Ivies would u prefer
Howd u do on 2x45 physical inspection interview wagon?
HYP?
They said I’m the best wagon they’ve ever seen
What are the best Ivies for CS in your opinion
inshallah offer coming soon then 
?
Lol
What about a CMU Vs ivy?
I’m not familiar with these CS rankings but isn’t cal and CMU top 4 for CS. like the big 4?
i’m gonna wait a couple days to see if they fix it
How are they top 4 programs but you’d take lower ranked programs over them
All schools in the top 10 are good from learning CS POV, some schools are favored by fintech, others big tech
Lol I’m just curious on how it works
Im doing IB, not SWE so not really familiar with this stuff
Going to rank 4 CMU vs rank 5 Georgia Tech isn’t going to create a drastic difference in your professional career
(Idek if GA is 5 but for the example it works)
Yea IB kinda matters a lot what your school is
SWE your experiences outside classes matter. Your school gets your past the ATS, after that it is upto you
yo
So school doesn’t matter that much for SWE?
even then it’s more about ur mental math skills
Then what level does it matter
^^
firm dependent
You can always try breaking into quant after getting industry experience, but to get quant firms from the start is where schools come in
that prolly means they wanna interview with you
Pretty much
well do you want to go into finance
what companies do you want to go into
Lol im in finance already
Nah I am
I meant I have an IB internship
ahh
so do you want to be a cs major
idk
did you get into all those schools for CS
or business
ye lmao
oh
CMU has ED
its impossible
you cant
well you can
but its insanely hard
a lot of schools though like mit harvard etc u can
a lot of people do
I’m going into IB tho, so SWE is basically impossible for me
Why do u think I go to penn lol?
Cuz I said IB?
Are u doing IB
Dang
Lol yeah
I’m probably like the only one
lmao it asked me to fill out the same thing like four times
and half of the questions don't even make any sense
Anybody take Google phone interview yet, and how was it? Mine is scheduled for Tuesday
Lol
yo
man i still havent heard from mc or cisco
nvm just checked i didnt even apply to mastercard yet
oh bruh its 29/hour
link to mastercard?
is someone going to contact lyft recruiter to ask them about the form
if someone does please let me know
It sounds like a scam
on the email it said making untapped account would only boost you to the top
it sounds like they want me to think that
odds are its an hr marketing thing
For anyone who applied to Mastercard, what is the pymetrics thing?
can you explain please, i just got the email for it
its like optiver trading oa if you have done it before
i have not
like one of those annoying iq tests
pump a balloon that will explode randomly
more pumps more money
if you stop pumping you will get the current money
if it explode you get nothing
that is to measure how well you take risk
anybody heard back after taking the pymetrics assessment? it's been over a week for me
nada - feels like I wasted my time and also broke my space bar for no reason lmao
Lmaoo never liked workday applications, never will
Anyone heard back from jump, Aquatic or 5R?
Jump process starts in like 2 weeks
I see
5R has already started
ggwp
Does cisco use codesignal @jaunty cove
workday applications are poopy!
Amex has one of the worst app sites i've ever seen
btw was c1 oa easies or meds
ill take it rn if the former but ill bust my ass if the latter
its a code signal bro
id say code signal is on average 2 easies and 2 mdiums
cap country they’re hella nice
plus instant fill in with simplify
🧢
they dont compare to greenhouse or lever
Does Databricks do karat round?
@summer vector
i like ur username
ur gonna probs land amazon
pls i want Amazon oa
Lmao
what does it mean if i got screening complete for c1?
Nothing
Nothing
😭
Trying to do Roblox OA but I am currently in vacation and says I am located too far from servers. Any solutions?
get closer to the servers
@rustic topaz binary search?
I’m in Nepal and guessing their server is in US
nepal be like 🇳🇵
nepal be like 🇳🇵
nah no offer
Is roblox codesignal proctored?
nope
bro i already got the leadership principles
i take ownership of getting the oa
Learn and Be Curious
Leaders are never done learning and always seek to improve themselves. They are curious about new possibilities and act to explore them.
``` a leader wouldnt say that
"ive already got x"
there's always more shit to be learnt
damn
im srry
that's why im not getting oa
im not learning
Bias for Action
Speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk taking.
``` u also need to have a bias for action
have u tried to contact a mofo at amazon?
Do you guys think buying LC premium for intern position is worth? Like if im aiming for specific company
valkyrie hft?
yes
buying lc premium was probs the best decision of my life
the roi on it is UNREAL
I just did it today, it was rough
top 50 amazon interview qs
and the solution section
is actually worth the money
the solutions on discussion are dogshit
no leetcode.ca is a bit dates
ya it is
imo
mfs still say soy
bruh why do they have so many hards
some of the problems are actually horrendously annoying
especially Analyze User Website Visit Pattern
on that amz50 list
oh my god
just copy solution to clipboard for final
its a FAANG no?
i will be happy to do those problems if they give me the oa
This aint based on freq
so that they can still give us peeps oa
oh weait
LOL
they need to filter people lmao
I need a pic
yeah but how is every getting an offer
is everyone here acing hard problems
tf?
because this server is like
the top 1%
plus i heard some interviewers help
it's rng
exactly wtf
T
or maybe thats only for the OA

CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR 😦
wat
ok
@rustic topaz what happened to ur prem
lmao
hopefully no Leetcode devs
Aogiht
Imagine getting 2sum for 170k
it's 200 in hcol
ye
Jesus
just send 🙏
Why don’t we all just share one
tbh i buy it cuz i kinda wanna support them too
leetcode doing us all gods work
imagine life without leetcode
holy fuck
LC premium list: -#7399
someones gonna change the password
We would have lower standards @steady crow
I’ll control it then
imagine having to come up with the solution to merge k sorted list ij under 25 mins without doing it before
Yea it's not like they can reset the password
I wouldn’t do that
If it’s my Burner email
Just throw it in a merge sort
ok replace what i said with anothe hard problem
Trapping rain water 2 😃
ive already memorized it at this point
nonoptimal space O(n) --> go left to right & go right to left then compute it
optimal space O(1) --> use the fact that they both always increase and get the min or something and add it
And something for the borders
head up we are winners
Super super clear in <20 mins iirc
nothing is fuked we are winners
wym?
is that all premium offers?
Nah
Did google open 2023 swe intern position ?
In code signal what does pending mean after completing the assesment ?
Like my score is visible
When does that happen ?
a day or two
And can I share my one test score with multiple companies ?
yeaa
Like I did it for databricks can I send it to C1 as well?
Ohh🥲
good luck though
Are code signals typical leet code questions?
similar vibe
So it’s like one text you submit to multiple places?
r code signal questions like mostly array problems
Didn’t here about it before databricks
Has anyone been reached out by a recruiter ? Does that mean you don't have to do the OA and go straight to interviews?
Just LC in general
Company specific
If it’s the general coding assessment /GCA then yeah
wym
Some recruiters will let you skip, others won’t
Could you share the topics you had
How successful have y'all been in cold-emailing recruiters?
No oa sharing is allowed
Also codesignal gca is random so it wouldn't matter
Check out sub-reddit cs majors. Some useful advice up there for gca
Hahaha welcome to the club 😂
Am not very tall
Am 178cm
Most here are taller 
@coarse marten offer talk on Friday 🙏 pray for return pls
Is there a list with links to all the 2023 summer internships available? Because I cant find it on the cscareer website and also I cant log in 😦 😅
Check pinned
thx! ❤️
How long does Databricks get back to u with a rejection? Specifically after u do the OA
The cisco oa was cancer
Specifically, the platform
It didn’t let me import unordered_map for the c++ version
I had to switch to c++14 on the top but then it didn’t have the input stuff written out for me
I had to copy it and paste it from the c++ version 💀
Also, you think Cisco will accept it if I missed 3/13 test cases for one of the problems?
Oh yeah, I forgot the problem didn’t mention any input constraints either 💀
So I couldn’t figure out if I was going over the time limit or if it was some weird ass edge case breaking my solution…..
SHL
My first instinct is to write shit in C++
U got it
That was my point
instant rejection 🤡
Ayo I use C++, is the experience that bad?
you have to switch to c++14
don't realize it too late like I did
and it doesn't save your code when you switch so copy and paste that shit if you realize it too late
i honestly can't tell if this is ironic or not
y'all gotta stop playing with my feelings
you know what, why do I bother asking. Either I get it or I don't. No point in asking. Nothing else I can do now.
tbh I missed one test case and got ghosted
The Cisco OA has a separate option for versions? Like how do I select C++ 14?
Ik u didn’t ask me haha, but for me I’m just used to C++ a lot more and I like the structure and syntax and my DSA class used it
I’m also lazy and too busy this summer to learn DSA in Python so I might do it next yr idk
i just hated how the problem was structured
no constraints or anything given
but we were expected to figure out the hidden edge cases
that is some bullshit
Oh dang. Is it similar to LC and code signal? In terms of style and prepping for it?
i mean for any oa, yeah, that's the best way to prep
but cisco's problem format didn't include constraints and stuff
it was toxic
yes
the ones that I failed at least
Competence and knowledge in a language matters. If I’m 9/10 in C++ and 5/10 in Python, I’m still using C++ till my Python DSA knowledge improves
so I didn't know if I was timing out or if I was missing some edge case
OH, yeah, the answer is graded based on console output
not a function return
How long did GM get back to u for OA?
yeah lol
also ^ this for me too
i'm just used to doing these problems in c++ lol
I actually used to be better at Python like a year ago
but C++ felt more natural albeit difficult
but over time, it got easier
so yeah, it's just what you practiced more
I learned both around the same time but since my intro CS and DSA class was C++ I just grew to become comfortable with it
i prefer the static typed nature of C++
yes but it's slightly less intuitive for me
Python has many benefits ofc and I use it for some stuff just not DSA
I use Python for most apps or data science
but for algos and stuff c++ feels natural
yeah but they love competent programmers lol
i'm like MID at best
not everyone has time to grind LC 24/7
What’s sad is I’m not interested in quant which is the major advantage of being good with C++ lol. That’s partially why I might do DSA in python next yr but not now
or the mental fortitude
i'm not interested in quant either but their money is good
Yeah but for me WLB matters more after a certain salary range that most Swe can comfortably provide
i'm still kinda steamed about Cisco. Questions were doable but stupid hidden edge cases
Is Cisco resume screen after OA?
yeah mine was auto too
I hate python
it's a shit show language to me
no cohesive structure, too minimalistic for its own good
If I had a choice to work on something and they would be like, hey, choose the language you would want to use, I would have chosen Kotlin in a heartbeat
tho Kotlin is mostly used of Android dev 😦
nah I use java
cuz, well, I have more experience with java
did a recent OA like that was "choose your language" and I chose Java 🤡
in hindsight Kotlin would have given me better code
The Cisco questions were easy but there were only 2 test cases per question given to us
Made like no sense
Spreadin’ the good propaganda my man
Actually there's more than 2. It's really easy to miss but they show u how many test cases u pass. I thought there was only 2 as well.
Wait rlly
Yes
How were there more
Like at least 10 for all questions
Where did it tell u that
After u ran a little fraction showed up in the sample test case window showing how much u passed out of how many
Shit I didn't see that
Yea it's super easy to miss which sucks
I think I forgot to account for an edge case in one of the questions but it's whatever
There were some edge cases that I missed, L lol
Hopefully they got some leeway
How is the blackrock OA
It’s the fact that we weren’t given input constraints or anything
Facts lol
So I didn’t know if my solution wasn’t fast enough or if it was outputting the wrong thing
They have such a shitty platform
Yep
have people heard back from cisco
Fuck Blackrock OA lmaooo that shit was basically how well can u parse a shitty input
Were the questions hard
Not really
But that input for the graph one sucked
It was a fat string and u had to parse it basically
In order to solve the prob
there is no OA, I think
straight to final
Bruh what?
So has anyone gotten that yet?

Lmoa
Amazing pun
Unless it says rejected, I wouldn’t call quits
I think Java? and platform is HireVue
HV allows you to pick any language but BlackRock says you have to do first question in Java
So they might just auto fail anyone who doesn't use it
Kinda like how GCA allows you to use any language but HRT says they won't look at submissions without Python/C++
The second question I think you can do in several languages, forgot which ones but they're common like Java, Python, etc.
Java does seem to be non-negotiable for BlackRock
aren’t u an AI?
they abt to leave and spam delete everything
i think he blocked me i think he’s a bot
they sent me a friend inv and immediately deleted
maybe this is just someone’s greatest side project
discord ai chatbot
does anyone here know what qualtrics 1st technical phone is like for interns? I saw mostly new grads talking about it in the server history
It was impossible until it was trivial
It was a like a light switch flipping
Like once you got it
It felt like it shouldn't have taken so long
Ah
Sadge
yeah i think
mf ignores everyone
@wary whale yo
@wary whale
@wary whale robot
@wary whale reboot
the lyft untapped application is broken right
@wary whale rm -rf /root/
sudo rm rf brain cells
yea yea
Is there any HR who has any intern opportunity for SDE profile?
!process anyone get google summer 2023 step internship response ?
You can only use this command in 2022_winter_intern_process, 2022_summer_intern_process, 2022_grad_process, 2022_fall_intern_process, 2023_summer_intern_process, 2023_winter_intern_process, 2023_grad_process
has anyone heard from HRT
step isnt open yet
what
@fickle ivy In Singapore STEP is open
has anyone done codesignal frontend fullstack challenge
or codesignal for instabase
idk if its specific to instabase or what
Is us summer intern positions at google open ?
nop
there should be a meraki page for interns but idk about full time
Anyone know when it may open?
😩
hi guys!
someone here who already did the optiver tech interview?
i have heard they ask a lot of networking stuff, and I was wondering the difficulty of the questions
skull
anyone get anything back from cisco
specifically for the data engineering position lol
bro i feel like referrals dont even matter for internships
this is some bs
if u think urself as a leader u r right a lot, u r seeing the instincts that the amazon referral is useless, thus act on it
i got a referral for google, apple, microsoft, amazon, cisco didnt receive shit back
well actually amazon i failed lmao
i think i have a pretty decent resume too compared to people
i got 3 internship experiences and part-time/full time as a data engineer rn
is that not decent
what am i doing wrong
someone give me some tips cuz im actually starting to get pissed cuz im not getting a chance lmao
grad date?
march 2023
well the thing is i change my dates around lmao
like if it says needs to graduate after march 2023 i just change my resume to june 2023
lol
🤣
im desperate man
i really want cisco or some big tech
cisco data engineers make bank
@gray jolt u need to apply amazon leadership principles to this situation
yeah thats how i failed my aws interview
it was super heavy on that and i didnt study them lmao
yeah so if anyone is doing amazon make sure u go over the 14 leadership principles
or however many there are
i forget the number
ok that's good im memorizing the leadership principles lmfao
yeah for sure
14
to be fair tho i dont think i did that bad on it
that is correct
i got some russian dude
that was a super hard ass
and asked me networking questions
but cant blame him, i couldnt answer them lmao
mf didn't want u on the team 
yeah its kinda luck based tbh
what was ur question
like my friend got asked easy ass questions and then two sum
"What was the name of your first pet?"
it was a tree question
B+ tree?
tf is +/- tree
what question
LOL
wait let me try to find it
something like this
not hard
ohhh
it was the networking questions and the 14 principles that fucked me
I think Ive seen that shit in SS (Systems Software)
yep that was the position
i think it was systems engineering cuz my dumb ass didnt apply to software engineering
or software development

it was systems engineering
yep so it was all my fault basically ngl
it was a super intense interview tho ngl
like he didnt even say hi or anything i joined the call and he started off with networking questions
i think i said hi how are you doing
and he just asked me a question
dude.. he is Russian
yeah when i saw his name i already knew i was fucked
Russians are straightforward
ending with like an ov or some shit
most of the time
could be any slav to be honest
yeah dude they dont fuck around
that shit applies to every slav ig
like they are smart asf too
every country has smart/dumb people
there are alot of russian hackers
source: I'm Russian 
lmao oh i'll believe u then
CIA regularly fucks over other countries with their "hacker" attacks
so like
that shit could be applied to any country
Israeli Counter Espionage or whatever the fuck their division is called
also very good in hacking
there are probably so many private groups that we dont even know of that are gods lol
like if they are known to be hackers, they are prob not the best yknow
yeah lol
ICE 👀
is anyone here into data engineering or have thoughts about it vs software engineering btw
Sounds like some Immigration division in the US
Doesn't it have similar name? 
im finding data engineering super chill cuz its mostly braindead python/sql lol
that doesn't look right

unless they are also good at hockey
mfs don't earn enough from the government
so they have to play on the ICE
lol

shit like whats TCP and can you explain it, stuff about routers, how APIs work, what '/' does in the browser
and yeah that was the question i got from the guy
exactly that haha
'/' it's a slash, duh...
what else is it
yeah no idea i forget what i said
was it full time position?
like if it was like googe/careers
that /
nah it was an internship
0 networking, just took 1 class which sucked ass
hm...
yep i got fucked
well... not everyone takes networking classes as SWE 
yeah i mean im sure someone in here wouldve passed it, but definitely not me lOL
I have I think one class in my CS curriculum about networking but that's it 
yee
u have to go fully into that shit
Bro this karat interview was whack
i felt like most of his questions were asking for the definition of things
and i couldnt recall
how was it? for palantir?
I have one too... don't remember when, I think 26th or smth
Yeah
I'm not gonna carry it if it's definition heavy lmao
Not sure if I should redo or not
How long after OA does Amazon give an update on final interviews usually?
took ~ 7 days
for me
How confident r u with ur lp?
is there any way to even evaluate your "confidence" level lmao? You just have to read them an understand the idea
Like the main idea of "frugal" lp is to fuck wages for warehouse workers so we could save money in Amazon

wait @vestal robin u r talking abt amz @sinful locust gs
When did u do your AMAZON oa
Anyone have any recommendations for resources to practice time complexity questions ?
do you guys get referrals for goldman
Yo if Duolingo cancelled my karat redo, is that good news?
yeah, u have to learn recurrence relations.... after that, as long as u can construct recurrence relation, u can solve it even without Master's Theorem
u talking about duolingo karat?
I’m decent at those, mainly looking for sites with flash cards/practice problems
Yeah
None of my questions needed masters thm
it was simple data structures level complexity analysis
I mean Master's Theorem is just a shortcut of solving Recurrence Relation....
u don't need to know it
Ironically my dsa prof refused to teach us master theorem bc of that
u can solve recurrence using back change or whatever the fuck this method called
he was right to some extent
the master theorem for T(n), 2T(n), 2T(n-1) is pretty easy
but when it comes to other shit
it becomes formula memorization at that point
Did u take?
and deriving those formulas doesn't even make sense imho cuz... u can just solve recurrence yourself at this point
yep I did yesterday
my complexity analysis questions were pretty easy
Same
coding question wasn't hard just super time consuming
How many coding questiks did u get
like LC style?
Ye
Just 1
Okay same
He gave 45 min for it
Hopefully cancel is good news
Yeah I think it’s good
Bet
was ur question the flip grid one?
I didn’t solve it completely tho i was very close
how do u know what flip grid is?
I am gay, hispanic, and have a disability
hired
actually no
we are in the US
**fired
what's the duolingo pay like?
did anyone do the cisco OA - whats this platform they use lol
I never get cisco OA
mf, I think I know what third language I will be learning
if u require visa i think they auto reject
I thought about Korean
I don't
but it looks like Chinese is the way
lol this was for amazon sde intern?
Is citadel auto OA? I applied a few days ago and no OA

I think he said it was for a systems engineering role
Does duolingo have an OA
Yes
Does it automatically get sent
Shit welll I hope I have some luck
If I apply to 100 internships what's my odds of getting 1 offer lol
Nah
Jp morgan just sent me one
That depends a lot on what year you are in school
with 2024 grad date you should have fairly good odds of getting an offer with 100 applications. But it's still a good idea to apply to more than that imo
yeah I've been applying to 5 a day
That's a very good rate
I think I'll try to continue the rate as long as I can and hope I have some luck
Cause in 2 weeks I should be able to get through ~70
I'm at 75 so far as 2024 grad date
Early July
Most of the big companies aren't closed I think. Those are probably small companies that got a thousand applications in one day
systems engineer
data engineering can definitely depend on the company ur at
At some companies it’s pretty brain dead, especially if they are using some kind of managed service
Most of my data engineering experience was at a company that built everything in house, so it definitely felt more like an infra SWE role than just SQL monkey shit
Sames
Pog
What even is it again do we get anything out of it
Oh bet
It’s only a week too right
Lol nvm
9 weeks

Noooo
I don’t even wanna do it lowkey
do u get guaranteed interview or smth
Hope they send me one then lmao
How long did it take for u guys to receive their oa
Ah aight
Did you guys apply with referral?
If the application portal for Amazon says “submitted”, that means they haven’t reviewed it yet, right? Idk why it’s taking so long smh
yes
does amazon even look at resume
Does a referral help a lot with amazon? Wondering if I should bother a distant cousin to get one
