2023_summer

[marsh saddle]

U can but it wont impact ur jobs u alr applied o

to

[steady crow]

i did it lol it probably doesn’t help much though

[robust kestrel]

tbh i don't think amazon really cares about grad date

[marsh saddle]

Referral at big tech for intern doesnt matter

[robust kestrel]

no clue

[marsh saddle]

Grad Date is big

I got Oa with 2025 grad date

[steady crow]

no

[jade elm]

That’s almost 5 months from now tho lol, like wouldn’t it be a rejection at that point?

[marsh saddle]

Just apply with new email and change grad date with new resume

[steady crow]

Soo you got referred, didn’t get OA, applied yourself, got OA?

[marsh saddle]

Its not needed Im 2025 they dont care prob unless u 2026

[steady crow]

Oh

[jade elm]

I see, but how does that explain people who have applied later than those waiting but got it even earlier?

[rustic topaz]

Y’all stop trying to get amazon, get google instead

[marsh saddle]

Nah ik som1 who is 25 and no internships and got amazon

[robust kestrel]

coconut you waiting on amazon oa?

[marsh saddle]

U not gonna get amazon as 26 prob

[marsh saddle]

Just apply to small places

Ur a freshman bro obv they dont want u

[sinful locust]

Incoming freshman

[rustic topaz]

Incoming

Krishna DAS

[sinful locust]

Krishna

[marsh saddle]

Yeah but the classes u took and ur knowledge isnt a junior level

[sinful locust]

What internship

[rustic topaz]

Amazon

[marsh saddle]

I wouldnt cap by 2 years do 1 year max

[rustic topaz]

Doesn’t amazon literally have a freshman and sophmore programs?

[sinful locust]

I capped by 2 years

[steady crow]

Yeah but who wants to do freshman programs

[rustic topaz]

I would

[marsh saddle]

Yeah but if they ask for transcript u fucked

Amazon does

[sinful locust]

Google asked for transcript

[steady crow]

They won’t care

[sinful locust]

They don’t care even if they ask for transcript

[marsh saddle]

Always the freshman who says im a sophomore by credit hours

[steady crow]

They just need it to see that you’re in collehe

[rustic topaz]

Wtf is he wearing

[steady crow]

college

[marsh saddle]

Speed somthing else

[steady crow]

Speed is so funny

Bruh

[sinful locust]

I told them I was gonna take 45 credits per semester

[marsh saddle]

45 credit hour is weak im 100 credit hrs

[sinful locust]

You’ll have 800 credits when u graduate

[marsh saddle]

Im underloading this sem next sem im 150 hrs

[sinful locust]

Man’s taking every class in the university

[rustic topaz]

Wtf

I’m only taking 13

[sinful locust]

Wtf

Wtf

Why

[obtuse falcon]

how many do you need to graduate lmao

[crystal agate]

dude hirevue's OA platform is ass

[sinful locust]

I took 20 credits my first semester and 27 credits my second semester

[crystal agate]

I spent like almost the whole time formatting the input

wtf

[marsh saddle]

1500

Quarter system is gross

[steady crow]

[wooden shard]

[rustic topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-baby-gif-20603513

[crystal agate]

Yeah them and prudential

Both use hirevue

[marsh saddle]

Fortnite reference

Lmao

Acutally could work but also companies will ask why are u applying to new jobs if u have amazon

[rustic topaz]

You can do amazon for springs

@marsh saddle I heard you can’t do amazon for winter?

Is that true?

[marsh saddle]

Yeah u cant I switched to fall

[steady crow]

Yea but im intl student and i can only intern in the summer 😔

[marsh saddle]

Pain

[rustic topaz]

You can switch to Dal??

Fall

[marsh saddle]

Yeah they didnt care

[rustic topaz]

And c1 for summer???

LFG

This sounds easier than it is 😭

[steady crow]

lol

It all depends on whether or not i can get amazon

[marsh saddle]

U can try hopefully they dont verify that though

[steady crow]

yeah hopefully lol

[marsh saddle]

Nah u dont even have to get amazon just say u rejected the offer cuz u wanted to focus on school

[steady crow]

yeah thats what im thinking

[rustic topaz]

@steady crow how many questions have you done????

[steady crow]

Like 150

[rustic topaz]

Damn

[steady crow]

or 120

[rustic topaz]

💀

[steady crow]

Or 100 idk

[rustic topaz]

@marsh saddle how did you prep for lp?

[marsh saddle]

Bro just read what they are and remeber them lmao

[marsh saddle]

Just answer ur behavioral questions based off lp

[steady crow]

wait how long is amazon spring @marsh saddle what dates

[marsh saddle]

I fall

[steady crow]

Is it 12 weeks

Oh

[marsh saddle]

August to dec

But I am trying to extend it to the end of the school year

[steady crow]

Amazon isnt doing winter/spring?

[marsh saddle]

No

[steady crow]

Wtf

ok

[marsh saddle]

https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/2110678/software-development-engineer-internship-2023-us

[steady crow]

it says Winter though

[marsh saddle]

Cuz they dont want people who fail one and then apply to a differetn season

[steady crow]

Wdym amazon doesnt have winter?

[tawdry remnant]

do you guys think doing blind75 is valid enough for internships

[marsh saddle]

They do have winter but I didnt take that cuz they didnt let me switch to winter

[rustic topaz]

Wym

[steady crow]

oh

ohh ok

[rustic topaz]

I wanna do internship with luffysolos

[marsh saddle]

Like if there was a seperate one for summer fall and winter then they would have people applying multiple times

[steady crow]

i feel like incoming does help

[marsh saddle]

At least get ur internship first

[steady crow]

Its like the incoming company did the screening for you

[rustic topaz]

I know, that’s what I’m sayin

I feel like ima fail

[tawdry remnant]

those codesignal tests 🥲

[steady crow]

if its incoming what are they gonna verify

That i hv an offer right

yeah

I mean having ‘incoming at x’

[proud whale]

You sure? I’ve never heard ab incomings being checked

I think his point is like

Say rn I have incoming fall somewhere on my resume

And I’m applying for summer 23’

When my summer 23’ company does a background check months later

They’ll verify if I did the incoming fall

That was on my resume I sent to them

But idk if they do that

Makes some sense tbh

[steady crow]

You think they’ll rescind if u decided to not do the incoming x internship?

[proud whale]

Def not imo

Wrong

Tinder didn’t even verify our education, just our employment lol

RNG

Like all things

It’s this industry

🤣

No way they’d rescind bro

Imagine someone rescinded ur offer

For ur incoming

Honestly something to consider cause I was considering reneging my fall

But it’s on my resume everywhere I have offers

Soooooo

I should do it

[steady crow]

reasoning could be that: “i was dealing with personal issues right before incoming at x”

[proud whale]

[steady crow]

Well if they get sus then cant you just send them the incoming offer letter

or some evidence

[still yacht]

Incoming President of the United States

[steady crow]

do you think having ‘incoming at amazon’ would help for landing other faang for summer?

then its worth jt

But it definitely can help

[still yacht]

Incoming is kinda cringe ngl

[steady crow]

So many ppl have said they get more responses when they have incoming at big texh on resume

[proud whale]

How is incoming cringe

[still yacht]

Cuz u didn’t even start yet

[proud whale]

So? It def helps you get other opportunities

[steady crow]

exactly

why would you not put incoming on your resume

[still yacht]

How does it help you get other opportunities lol? I mean yeah I would put on resume but not LinkedIn or make a LinkedIn post cuz that’s weird

[steady crow]

There’s literally no reason to not put incoming

[proud whale]

If I’m applying for a summer 23’ internship and planning to do fall 22’ and winter 23’, my experience is gonna be a ton more by the summer and that’s relevant for my employer to know

[steady crow]

not tlaking about linkedin

[still yacht]

“I’m excited to announce next summer I will be working at X!!”

So weird lol

[proud whale]

I was talking ab resume. On LinkedIn it can still help you get more recruiter reach outs

[steady crow]

Not talking about LinkedIn

[still yacht]

Yea I think it’s smart to put it on your resume

Not LinkedIn tho

[steady crow]

why is it not smart ?

[proud whale]

I can understand it too, I just don’t think y’all should care ab if you’re being cringe or not and just do what would help your career the most. Obvi not here prestige chasing

[steady crow]

Cuz its cringe ?

[still yacht]

Yea

[steady crow]

Its not smart cuz its cringe for a few people lol?

Wtf

[proud whale]

It’s cringe to worry about being cringe lmfao

[still yacht]

I mean u can make a LinkedIn post if u want but I doubt it’ll actually help anything

[proud whale]

Fax bro do u

Yeah def

And then chaining those a few times

I just have fall incoming for my summer apps

[still yacht]

Incoming CEO @ Meta and then renege

[rustic topaz]

Have y'all done Sort Colors

????

[proud whale]

No way for me to really isolate the incoming impact

But in general I bet they helped my summer 23’ apps

What I find cringe as fuck though, is the whole I received offers from@blah blah blah

And picked y

That’s just flexing imo lmao

[steady crow]

yea

[proud whale]

My summer incoming is TBD @north scroll that’s why I don’t

[still yacht]

Or if people say “I was accepted to x university, y university, z university”

[proud whale]

University is soooo cringe

Today I saw someone throw a party for like Uni acceptance

[steady crow]

who tf pposts incoming at uni

[proud whale]

And on their cake was like all the universities they got into

[steady crow]

bruh

[proud whale]

And at the top was the one they chose

[still yacht]

A lot of people

[proud whale]

💀💀💀💀💀

Shit was funny

[steady crow]

I remember there was that Stephanie person that posted that

''I got rejected from every ivy and was depressed or some shit, ill have to settle for berkeley''

something like that

[still yacht]

Lmao

[marsh saddle]

Linkedin should be disabled in general

Who is that

[still yacht]

Do you guys see those LinkedIn posts where it’s like “this semester I failed 2 courses”

[marsh saddle]

It is cringe but I respect their hustle

[still yacht]

Lol

[marsh saddle]

Nah after I got an internship I didnt post that shit

End of internship post mid internship post start of internship post

[still yacht]

Yea facts

[marsh saddle]

^

[still yacht]

Most LinkedIn posts = cringe imho lol

[marsh saddle]

Linkedin is also toxic so many people dont get anything and then there are people saying they get so many offers

Just use linkedin to contact recruiters other than that just leave it alone

^

I never contacted a recruiter on linkedin and hopefully I never will

[white urchin]

leave them alone, they need mental health days because they get too many candiadates

[still yacht]

I’ve never contacted a recruiter either lol

[marsh saddle]

I get more recruiters contacting on handshake but linkedin is like 0

[crisp berry]

okay look

[steady crow]

is it a good idea to inmail engineering managers

[rustic topaz]

did you put incoming amazon intern and c1 intern on your linkedin?

[marsh saddle]

Most of the time it is

[still yacht]

Yea they pretty much are lol

[marsh saddle]

No

[crisp berry]

if you're going to put "Incoming intern at x" on your resume and then apply to jobs for season Y which comes after season X

[marsh saddle]

I havent used it in like 6 months

[crisp berry]

where x is in season X

you better fucking do x

like

dont put incoming unless youre actually gonna do the job

otherwise you just look like a liar

[steady crow]

Also can you buy more inmail ?

[marsh saddle]

What is inmail

[steady crow]

allows u to DM recruiters

on linkedin

[marsh saddle]

Oh dont but that wtf

[crisp berry]

wait

[steady crow]

y not ?

[marsh saddle]

Or just add the recutier and then dm

I guess some are follower only

[steady crow]

many times they dont accept or dont like getting so many connection requests from random students

so i feel like inmail is OP

[marsh saddle]

Best bet is to add recruiters who went to ur school or recruit from ur school

[steady crow]

the recruiters from my school dont even accept my request

[marsh saddle]

Damn

[crisp berry]

i had a recruiter from my school randomly connect with me

but they didnt say anything

[steady crow]

yea i go to a large public school

[crisp berry]

was i supposed to dm them

[marsh saddle]

Citadel not gonna hire u unless u are target p much

[still yacht]

Lol I know a guy who turned down citadel for PM

[marsh saddle]

Damn wtf

[still yacht]

He said it’s “too high stress” or something like that

[marsh saddle]

It is but I would take for like 5 years then dip

[still yacht]

Dip to what

[marsh saddle]

Anything else

[steady crow]

the hong kong one?

the guy that turned into a chef after quant

oh

lol

[still yacht]

Is Google actually 220?

[crisp berry]

TC is a bad metric sometimes

[still yacht]

IB is like 80+ hours a week

Lol

[crisp berry]

depends on ur city

and if u work at Stripe

[still yacht]

That’s y everyone exits

Some people say the only reason to work at Goldman is to exit

[steady crow]

i thoughtthey go into ib cuz u get rly good exit opportunities and like everyone leaves after 2 years

[still yacht]

Yea that’s 95% of people

[crisp berry]

wdym exit

[still yacht]

People do IB 2 years, then switch to some other job

[steady crow]

Thats standard and expected too right?

[still yacht]

Yea lol everyone leaves

Almost 100%

PE probably is the majority of exits

Some Hedge funds

[steady crow]

bruh have you guys seen goldman sachs ibd analyst survey leak?

holy fuck

[still yacht]

Yea

That was TMT in SF

Yep

[steady crow]

this got leaked

https://fd-binary-external-prod.imgix.net/JHxu13NMxHm3PvR1NCk1YL3z5Pw.pdf?dl=Arbeidsomstandighedenonderzoek+Goldman+Sachs+(pdf).pdf

[still yacht]

It’s Evercore

[still yacht]

these numbers are so wrong lol

[fickle ivy]

@feral void

hi

[sinful locust]

hi

[fickle ivy]

how's your day

hi munanyo (sensual)

pretty good

packing to leave lol

[still yacht]

So Of 50 people only 2 people stayed lol

[fickle ivy]

when do u leave fracker

[sinful locust]

bichotaso

[fickle ivy]

MUNANYOOO

lmfao

i hope

chupapi

[still yacht]

Private equity VPs at MF/UMM so much god damn money but it’s so hard to get there lol

Such a saturated area

They get like 75 basis points of carry but that’s still a couple million

PE is too saturated tho lol

And MD literally told me if you rode the PE wave in his era then you’d have to be an idiot to not be worth 100 million at least

Now it’s too competitive

[steady crow]

how do u guys know all of this

r u guys like ex finance/econ majors

[sinful locust]

who are you talking to

[steady crow]

ur wanna do SWE?

[rustic topaz]

Have y'al done gas station? this question is soo annoying

[still yacht]

Going into IB that’s how I know. I’m not SWE lol

[steady crow]

Did u decide between tech and finance early on?

[still yacht]

Well I wanna do VC maybe in the future

Which is sort of tech/finance

But if u wanna recruit for IB u kinda have to decide quick

[sinful locust]

...

[still yacht]

It does for sophomore IB

[jaunty cove]

What do u have to be good at for investment banking

Is it more networking

[steady crow]

so whats the route to VC? and how many years usually?

[fickle ivy]

yea

[still yacht]

Yea pretty much that’s all

[fickle ivy]

bro

[jaunty cove]

I would never make it anyway lol

[fickle ivy]

JS office burrito bowls

are rhe best

[still yacht]

2 years IB

[fickle ivy]

srsly best mex ive had

[steady crow]

Whats pay like

[still yacht]

For VC?

[fickle ivy]

nah i was a few mnths back

for a contest

[steady crow]

yea

[still yacht]

Or IB

[steady crow]

vc

[fickle ivy]

on the hudson river offic

next to wtc

[still yacht]

VC is a paycut compared to traditional PE or IB

So 1st year associate maybe a bit over 200k

[steady crow]

whats the long term goal like after first entering vc

[still yacht]

Make a lot of money

Lol

Staying in IB can be a lot of money too, if you can handle the hours

HFS and PE have the highest ceiling tho

[steady crow]

Maybe i meant career progression*

how does it look like

[still yacht]

Well most people do

IB 2 years -> PE 2 years -> go to another PE fund or MBA

Then they do whatever they want after

All the Tiger Cub founders are billionaires lol

[steady crow]

Reasons why you picked that over tech/SWE

[fickle ivy]

@still yacht

is quant + swe -> consulting

-> PE

possible

[still yacht]

More Money

[fickle ivy]

with an mba in the middle

ok pog

[still yacht]

Good PE firm without any prior finance experience will be very hard, even with HSW MBA. Consulting is more than doable tho

[fickle ivy]

so PE with consulting

does that work

or nah

[steady crow]

when do you break 400-500k

[still yacht]

Yea only if u get Mbb tho

[fickle ivy]

hoping for S or H mba

[fickle ivy]

i see

hmm

maybe yeah

[still yacht]

For what

PE or IB

[fickle ivy]

PE

[steady crow]

PE

[fickle ivy]

how much does PE pay

[steady crow]

or both cuz im curious and know nothing

[still yacht]

PE associate 1 at a MF is like 350k

[fickle ivy]

maccy d's swe

[still yacht]

And Ib associate 1 is also like 300s or 400

[steady crow]

How many years to get to ib/PE associate 1 /

[still yacht]

2-3 years

[steady crow]

oh wtf

[still yacht]

2 years for PE associate 1

2-3 for IB associate 1

[steady crow]

And thats only if you come from some target school?

[still yacht]

No

Any school

IB don’t care about your school if you’re going to stay

Yea if u wanna do PE then it matters

But not for IB long term

Idk but a ton of MDs went to crappy schools

[steady crow]

how many hrs/week for pe/ib associate 1

[still yacht]

PE associate 1 depends

If it’s MF or UMM or MM

IB is like 70

It’s not smart to just choose a job cuz of money tho

If u do what u like I think the money will follow

Yea

[steady crow]

how does anyone work 70hr work weeks 💀

[still yacht]

That’s an example

The Comp numbers may be slightly higher for associate

[steady crow]

these are for top ib firms?

[still yacht]

Any IB firm basically

[steady crow]

And does hours/week stay around like 60+ for all of those roles??

[still yacht]

MDs work like 50-60 hours week but most of it is meetings

They don’t actually do real “work”

They do golf

Dinners

Etc

[steady crow]

bruh at 70hrs/week your work is pretty much your life

[still yacht]

Yea

But they’re compensated for it

I know a guy at a BB and he said he was mad at a 700k bonus

[steady crow]

whats the point in working like 12+ hours a day and earning that much if you cant actually use the money until you retire or smth?

[still yacht]

Like all his co-workers were mad that they only got 700k bonus

[still yacht]

Well u don’t really work that much as an MD

Or director

MDs go golfing like 3-4 times a week

[steady crow]

i cant imagine myself working anything over 60hrs/wk unless i start my own company or smth..

i put in like 10-15hr/week effort in my current full time remote swe internship cuz they dont expect anything LOL

[still yacht]

MD is mostly just people skills

1.5 Million is probably on the lower end for MDs

Like these guys work a lot but they usually have a mansion a lake house and maybe a small yacht

[steady crow]

And breaking into BB is probably way harder than breaking into FAANG SWE right ?

[still yacht]

Depends on what school u go to

But BB IB is def doable

U don’t really need to be that smart

[tardy ridge]

What’s BB?

[still yacht]

Bulge bracket

Considered to be like the 9 biggest investment banks

[tardy ridge]

Oh are credit suisse and deuschte bank really good for SWE?

They don’t pay really well tho right, from levels fyi

Idk

[steady crow]

noo i was asking for completly different roles

[still yacht]

For SWE, I have no idea lol

[steady crow]

Not swe

[tardy ridge]

Oh

Do those companies have quant?

[white urchin]

what's after MD?

[steady crow]

whats like the most 'highly sought after' goal for most finance/econ majors?

i hear hedge fund manager a lot is it that?

[still yacht]

Well u can become a global head or partner

[tardy ridge]

Hm so is it a big deal to get into BB for SWE

[still yacht]

But a ton of MDs are “rainmakers”

[white urchin]

what do these people make

[tardy ridge]

Like on the tier of FAANG?

[still yacht]

Like 5-15 million

[white urchin]

bruh

global head is like head of europe etc?

[still yacht]

Look up Steven trauber

[steady crow]

^ ?

[still yacht]

He’s considered to be one of the top rainmakers in Houston

[tardy ridge]

Is it good nonetheless, asking cuz those two banks are coming to codepath and I just wanna know how good they are

[glacial lance]

how do you know which companies are at codepath

[sinful locust]

i think a waitlist

[tardy ridge]

Hm ok makes sense

Thx

[still yacht]

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/stephen-trauber-citigroup-pay_n_739973/amp

[steady crow]

wait you mean for finance related roles not SWE though?

[eternal moth]

most never make it to MD at BB, probably similar to reaching director at faang

[sinful locust]

well yeah u have to reaize

these are super high roles

and its all older ppl

lmfao

it takes time to climb

[eternal moth]

lots of people wash out to corp dev

[still yacht]

Btw PE/HF makes way more money than IB lol

At the top level

[steady crow]

ya

[still yacht]

Yea it takes like 12 years at least to make MD

[sinful locust]

quant isnt even good enough

startups are better

[still yacht]

If you can somehow make it to VP in MF PE u make like 1 million+ at around 29 years old. I know someone doing that. Obviously rare tho

[sinful locust]

making ur own

[still yacht]

If you want more money do IB/PE/HF, if you want work life balance do SWE. That’s how I saw it

[sinful locust]

u make a good enough living from both

entry swe is better

[steady crow]

so in a general pov, finance is only good if you can make work your life and if you can work your ass off for like 5-10 years to reach a high enough level
and tech if you want decent starting salary + good WLB + steady growth but usually capped at 500-800k for most at faang unlike in high finance?

[sinful locust]

it defpends on where you live and what you quantify as living

like for u maybe its 500k

😂

its like what your goal is too

ye

i mean banking seems shit in general

in terms of being lucrative and wlb

[still yacht]

That’s why everyone leaves IB

[sinful locust]

also not interesting work

lol

[still yacht]

For more lucrative jobs (PE/HF)

[sinful locust]

eh

[eternal moth]

more money at higher risk, if you fail to perform at a HF there are no good exits, but you can make millis a year

[sinful locust]

not much more interesting

i find research much more interesting

somewhere like deepmind piques my interest

[still yacht]

I find it pretty interesting, like doing major investments in PE

did u know apollo owns Chuck E. Cheese

[sinful locust]

yeah thats why to each their own

[still yacht]

Blackstone bought and sold Hilton

Etc

[sinful locust]

meanwhile

blackrock

owns the world

[spark hearth]

anyone get a response from sentry.io

[sinful locust]

100%

[still yacht]

People in finance just want money they don’t care about WLB

[sinful locust]

well one could argue that tech is a lot of work

depends where you are

and what level

senior shortage rn

seniors working their asses off

LOL

[still yacht]

Oh idk about quant

[sinful locust]

family friends were in goldman sachs

super high rank

[still yacht]

I’m talking IB/Pe

[sinful locust]

he got no sleep

he slept in the car they sent to take him home

and thats it

[still yacht]

I know nothing about quant lol

[sinful locust]

quant sounds more fun than faang

unless ur in ML

like google brain or x

apple siri ML, etc.

what attitude

like wdym

[still yacht]

Yea finance is more traditional culture

Tech is way more laid back

[sinful locust]

oh

i like how tech is less formal

100%

im not fucking wearing a suit 24/7

[still yacht]

Lol U don’t wear a suit

[sinful locust]

yes you do

[still yacht]

Usually business casual

[sinful locust]

well from what it seems like

[still yacht]

Most banks are business casual

[sinful locust]

thats fine

but why have a dress code

why not just sit on a chair and chill

with some buds

[still yacht]

Idk lol

Do u find dress shirts uncomfortable

[sinful locust]

no they look good

im just saying why the restrictio

[still yacht]

Idk lol business/finance is just like that

[sinful locust]

i get it obviously but like meh

yeah lol

its kinda cringe how getting into tech is harder than the actual jobs

entry level *

[still yacht]

Can argue the same about IB tbh

Getting into PE at MF is absurdly difficult tho

[sinful locust]

well tech is different

its just leetcode

its a good bet for companies though given that someone grinding leetcode will generally be better

[still yacht]

Lol IB interviews are kinda a joke

But they’re not easy to get in necessarily

At my school, 300 applied to a BB, around 24 got first rounds, and only like 7-10 got offers for SA

Yea

But I know a ton of people that did networking and still didn’t get first rounds

I feel like for IB recruiting ur resume doesn’t really mean anything

It’s all networking

It doesn’t matter if u have a 4.0 1600 at Harvard if u didn’t network u have almost no shot at a first round interview

[sinful locust]

networking is easy

with linkedin

[still yacht]

Yea every other bank tho is networking based pretty much

[stable cape]

Holy shi, the Roblox tasks thing is such bs
is there even a pattern to the deer infection bs?

[undone drum]

i think so but i had some trouble w it too

[stable cape]

[sinful locust]

[grand bane]

what score have people needed to pass amazon oa?

[sinful locust]

anywhere between 1/30 - 30/30

[grand bane]

😵‍💫

[sinful locust]

if u get 15/15 on the first question and pass half the test cases on the second you should be good

but this is Amazon so nothing is guaranteed

[real sedge]

resume screen

after that is a recruiter phone afaik

[grand bane]

Gotcha

[real sedge]

then some other shit idk

[grand bane]

Got 11/15 and 7/15 so not feelin too great ab it

[sinful locust]

also try ur best on LPs

[grand bane]

Yeah I think I did good on those

[sinful locust]

i also heard that they take into account ur resume not just ur OA score

is ur resume good?

[grand bane]

Decent

[sinful locust]

tru

its as rng as applications can getr

[tardy ridge]

What would a good resume be like

[real sedge]

• metrics

• good projects

[tardy ridge]

Wdym metrics

[golden tusk]

Optiver better give me a phone after that OA, spent so much time doing it and cleaning it

[real sedge]

• Improved site's bundle size by 90% by using Preact

[tardy ridge]

Oh what the

[real sedge]

Like a number

[tardy ridge]

Yeah I don’t have any of that lol

[real sedge]

that shows your impact

[sinful locust]

bruh for what

[tardy ridge]

If you perfect score Amazon OA, do you usually get the interview

Or whatever the next round is

Dam I didn’t even get OA anyway

It’s been so long now

[jaunty cove]

is $75 per hour good

[tardy ridge]

Nah

[real sedge]

gl

[sinful locust]

whend u apply

US?

[real sedge]

what other offers do you have?

use that doubt to fuel ur suk-sus

[tardy ridge]

August 8

[sinful locust]

brother its been 13 days

[jaunty cove]

ppl have had to wait a month

[tardy ridge]

Don’t you usually get it in a week?

[jaunty cove]

idk

[sinful locust]

anywhere between 1-3 weeks is average i would say

[tardy ridge]

Oh

[jaunty cove]

anywy what are the odds i get resume rejected by amazon with a 3.1 gpa

[sinful locust]

but theres quite a few ppl that get it after a month

[tardy ridge]

Ig I got one more week then lol

[jaunty cove]

all i need is the OA and i can get the internshiop

[real sedge]

No you do not

[tardy ridge]

Oh I see

[real sedge]

My friend got it in 2months

I got it in 2weeks

it varies

[tardy ridge]

Oh tf

[real sedge]

greatly

and my friend applied before me

then its amazing

congrats

[sinful locust]

ik 2 ppl that got, one the next day, one after 3 weeks

its random ash

[tardy ridge]

Is it wave based

[jaunty cove]

i rly hope c1 doesnt fill up by the time i have my interview

[sinful locust]

wave and random i think

[tardy ridge]

I’m hoping there’s a wave of OAs this upcoming week

[jaunty cove]

does nyone know if that happened last year

[tardy ridge]

Also how hard is the OA

[sinful locust]

it also varies, but its usually not that hard

like 2 lc meds at worst

on average

[tardy ridge]

Oh ok

On average, isn’t it two easier?

[sinful locust]

u could get analed by a nice DP hard

[tardy ridge]

Bruh I hope that doesn’t happen to me

Wdym

[sinful locust]

nothing

[tardy ridge]

If the question isn’t online

Then you can’t cheat..

I see, Kruskals probably won’t be on there tho right

Idek Kruskals

On the OA?

Holy shit

[jaunty cove]

choose the best edge see if it forms a cycle

thats it

[sinful locust]

ya they drilled that shit into our brains

[tardy ridge]

Are the questions that Amazon gives usually online tho

[sinful locust]

all of em are

[tardy ridge]

😮

[sinful locust]

with slight variation maybe

[tardy ridge]

Not saying or suggesting anything

[sinful locust]

bro do ur thing no ones gonna snitch

[tardy ridge]

But 😈😃😅

Nah I definitely do

I’m retarded

[sinful locust]

prep would be for interview

[tardy ridge]

Yeah I’m not very good at LC herds

[jaunty cove]

Lmao

[sinful locust]

u wont get hards

most likely

[tardy ridge]

I gotta learn shit like dijkstra, advanced DP, and Kruskals

[sinful locust]

are u in US? bohit

[tardy ridge]

Yes

[jaunty cove]

look at their tagged problems

most of them are easy or really easy mediums

[tardy ridge]

I can identify them, but dont know how to implement

Idk I first need to get the OA tbh

I was kinda wishfully thinking that everyone gets the OA

[sinful locust]

practice bro

[tardy ridge]

Yea

I’ve done like 100 LC questions

I gotta finish up Neetcode 150

[sinful locust]

bro let me give u some of the realist advice you've ever heard

never ever slack on leetcode

[tardy ridge]

And do a little bit more

[sinful locust]

cuz u never know when a company is gonna hit u up

[tardy ridge]

Yea I do LC everyday

[sinful locust]

last season i slacked on leetcode and within a matter of 2 weeks dropbox and google hit me up

i had wished i prepd

[tardy ridge]

Goddam

Dropbox and Google

That’s insane

[sinful locust]

ya ya thats what i meant

[tardy ridge]

I mean rn is recruiting season

But I’ve applied to so many places and haven’t gotten called anywhere 💀💀

Hopefully I get smth lmfao

[sinful locust]

its ok man u will at some point

[tardy ridge]

Hopefully lol

Idk we’ll see, I feel like a lot of it’s luck

[sinful locust]

fasho

[tardy ridge]

So nothing much I can change besides doing LC

and studying for interviews etc

im hoping i get smth out of the codepath program tho

ive heard good things abt it, so we'll see

[sinful locust]

inshallah

[jaunty cove]

how do i study bit problems

if i geto ne im screwed

[sinful locust]

i have never studied bit problems in my life

shits so boring man

[jaunty cove]

out of 4 oa's ive taken ive had 2 bit questions

[fickle drift]

same

[jaunty cove]

ppl said not to study it cause it never shows up

[fickle drift]

bit questions are actually really easy though

solve the ones on neetcode150

[jaunty cove]

practice or real?

damn

well i saw someone on reddit got it with ~680?

[sinful locust]

OldManDing be like : 👴

[jaunty cove]

codesignal is sexy

ima d o the daily practice test

[sinful locust]

664 is just question 1?

It’s ok u got this bro

[jaunty cove]

partial credit doesnt count for much

[sinful locust]

Keep grid i g

[jaunty cove]

on codesignal

[quaint bolt]

One 800+ is all you need

[jaunty cove]

solve 1 2 4

and dont get shafted by 4

[quaint bolt]

820-ish iirc

[jaunty cove]

look at how bad i did on q2 and q3, almost took the whole time, and this practice test still gave me 792 score cuse i did well on q4

yea

idk what that means i applied to their internship

https://www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/comments/jtu5n6/how_the_hell_do_you_guys_get_830850_on_codesignal/

read this

[grave skiff]

No😭

[jaunty cove]

FUCK yeah

i got 823

im improving

as someone who always thinks of things in a fixed mindset sort of way its relly satisfying to see improvement

i think i should have tried q3

nice

this is addicting

idk

i thought opening a problem reduces ur score

[crisp berry]

so

[jaunty cove]

like not trying q3 is better than looking ati t for 30 seconds

oh

[crisp berry]

is it possible to redo code signal before 14 days

[sinful locust]

How is that only 823… u did that hella quick, I got 823 from doing 124 in like 25 minutes

[crisp berry]

or do i have to keep making new emails

and apply to databricks/roblox

is that the only way?

[jaunty cove]

did u do q3 at all?

[sinful locust]

I opened it but didn’t touch it at all

But idt that matters does it

[jaunty cove]

they have ur resume on file so idk if u cn get away with that

[crisp berry]

i can get away with anything

[jaunty cove]

yea fair

[crisp berry]

but im asking if theres other ways

[jaunty cove]

no i mean

u send the score to the company and they get that score

u cant change it

its either i get it right away or it takes me a real long time

no in betwen lol

[crisp berry]

i havent done it yet

but im tryna plan

optimizing all the data points

ok true

[jaunty cove]

is databricks even proctored

ok

i got auto rejected by them anyway

their loss (cries0

no

[crisp berry]

i should start doing timed leetcode

[jaunty cove]

2023

[crisp berry]

untimed makes me complacent

i hope i spelled that word right

[jaunty cove]

better to look at and understand solution than to stres urself out for an hour or more

imo

[crisp berry]

why would you put 2023

if you're going to use a fake grad year at least put 2024

[jaunty cove]

its not fake

[crisp berry]

o

[jaunty cove]

Lol

im deleting that

[worn bear]

@wraith ice yo

[hearty river]

@hearty river 🇾 🇴

[crisp berry]

okay i did the codesignal, got 300/300 on each question with about 30-40 minutes left

what score can i expect?

[white urchin]

go to pending

[crisp berry]

oh

[white urchin]

doesn't it say

[random epoch]

Is optiver auto OA?

[crisp berry]

it says 848

is that highest????

[jaunty cove]

849

[crisp berry]

fuck

honestly

this was my first codesignal

ill get the 849 one day

[raven fractal]

Hey guys, the codesignal square hack is no longer working...is there any other free codesignal tests available?

[white urchin]

you can always fill out a c1 application

Don't know if that works

[raven fractal]

whats that?

[white urchin]

capital one

[raven fractal]

oh..okay

is that auto OA?

[crisp berry]

oh 850 is the highest possible score

bro i think i just got insane rng

im not tryna flex

those questions were really easy

thx

[white urchin]

I've never seen anyone with 850

[raven fractal]

Do you mind sharing the application link which gives auto OA?

[crisp berry]

which copanies like codesignal

[jaunty cove]

i guess if you theoretically solved every problem in 0 seconds you could get 850

[crisp berry]

i can throw apps on the now

capital one doesnt sponsor tho right

[random epoch]

Did anyone gave optiver OA?

[jaunty cove]

oh

[white urchin]

it's not an application link

like it's just capital one's 2023 summer swe internship

[raven fractal]

Cool..Thanks!

[white urchin]

no

fill out the job application and you should be good to go

hurts for international students though

[crisp berry]

gg

codesignal useless then

[white urchin]

c1 pays bank

[crisp berry]

cuz capital one wont sponsor canadians

[jaunty cove]

have u taken practice test yet

[crisp berry]

and i am canadian

[white urchin]

ye

we in the intern chat

$$$$

[crisp berry]

maybe i can try databricks but like

L

[white urchin]

just apply

[jaunty cove]

dude fake ur grad date and get a 750 and u r chilling

im stressed about the spots filling up before my power day but idk if thats a reasonable concern. if you can get a 750 just do it sooner rathern than later

idk how they filter people on the power day

have u taken it cfed

no way

could you reschedule

[old moon]

How long after applying does c1 codesignal come?

[jaunty cove]

i got mine 10 seconds later

oh

for me thats really good

i just want to get my foot in the door

i can worry about prestige when im not making $17 an hour 💀

[white urchin]

better than companies that pay like $20/hour

c1 is chill
