@sinful locust do u liek samosas

[uneven sand]

cit approach is apply -> OA -> reject

Wdym type

[uneven sand]

cit oa is really easy

[sinful locust]

Masala dosa slaps

[sinful locust]

[pseudo shoal]

@hearty river

[jaunty cove]

no ur fked

[hardy patrol]

alright thanks for the sitrep

i got like one previous financial internship so im hoping that pulls thru

[granite walrus]

Did you participate in suspicious activity?

[static spindle]

afaik codesignal is supposed to reject scores if you even leave your desk

so idk how the "had to take a shit" person didnt get flagged

[steel hemlock]

yo whats the best way to study for Palantir Karat. First time doing a karat interview, are they just like normal ones?

[sinful locust]

haven’t started yet

[shadow shard]

has any1 done drw phone

[topaz gale]

Has anyone given DRW OA?

[sinful locust]

yes

[topaz gale]

How was it?

[sinful locust]

Yep

[hardy patrol]

idk what i was thinking when ppl said to do lc ASAP i shoulda started like last year

im trying to gaslight myself into finding these fun

[sinful locust]

its fine

[sinful locust]

fun is temporary

lc is permanent

few months can do

you dont even need a few months

just be consistent

[hardy patrol]

yea i think a month or two

[sinful locust]

couple weeks is all you actually need

[hardy patrol]

is like a sweet spot

[sinful locust]

learn the patterns and then just practice once in a while

[hardy patrol]

did only one week of lc and bombed cap 1 💀

[soft basin]

everyone has a diff way of learning

[soft basin]

oa or final?

[hardy patrol]

oa

[sinful locust]

it only takes a couple months if youre randomly hitting lc questions instead of focusing on learning the patterns

[hardy patrol]

668

[soft basin]

i bombed oa as well

[soft basin]

i only got 1/4 and i got offer

[grim steppe]

i read grokking, doing LC ofc making sure to pick up on patterns n whatnot

[soft basin]

after final ofc

[hardy patrol]

yea i got 1/4 too its wild

[sinful locust]

people in this sever always giving the worst advice on lc

[sinful locust]

yep thats the best way tbh

[grim steppe]

will also work thru cracking the coding interview but i really think that's all you need

[hardy patrol]

i should read grokking yea

[soft basin]

im surprised i got c1 offer i bombed the system design part

[grim steppe]

for sure yes

[sinful locust]

doing all 14 patterns in 3 weeks for grokking kinda hard no cap

once you can work through a few questions in every pattern on grokking, youlll be mostly all set for almost all medium questions

hards ofc are kinda weird

[hardy patrol]

crazy

[sinful locust]

but if youre trying to do hards probably takes more

whichi is what i meant

[grim steppe]

have you taken DSA yet ?

[sinful locust]

no

[hardy patrol]

i feel time pressured like amazon is probably going to close up shop end of sept

[sinful locust]

people here act like you should just grind lc and do a shit ton of questions instead of focusing on learning the actual patterns which is more useful to be able to solve new questions

[hardy patrol]

trying to be a lc goblin

[sinful locust]

solving lc questions doesnt do anything to help you get better

since its something you were already able to do

you should only use it as a way to practice

[soft basin]

theres no way that happens

[sinful locust]

not as a way to improve

[hardy patrol]

i think the general sentiment isnt to learn lc by rote but to actually understand the patterns

[soft basin]

amazon hires more than 10k interns overall

[grim steppe]

mmm i havent taken a proper course on it yet either but genuinely grokking + supplemental yt videos in case you don't pick up on a certain data structure or algorithm, then leetcode and i feel very comfy with saying that i understand dsa

[hardy patrol]

do they really

[sinful locust]

wdym

[hardy patrol]

sheesh

[sinful locust]

yeah but Ive seen so many people in here say to grind random lc questions

im not gonna read through ctci, do no problems, and then be great

[sinful locust]

just do neetcode

watch his videos

they teach u patterns

[hardy patrol]

i always assumed that was implied

[sinful locust]

who says that? i feel like most people say do grokking or neetcode or etc

[hardy patrol]

if not then ☠️

[sinful locust]

yes but the act of doing questions doesnt help you, if it was something you were already able to do

it’s better to do more questions

"act of doing"

its good for practice

[grim steppe]

neetcode does an AMAZING job with his explanations you will pick up on them (the patterns) thru the videos for sure

[sinful locust]

yeah see

all u need is a study plan and a place to learn the basic DSA

[hardy patrol]

what do you mean neetcode, you saw the vids right

is that it

[sinful locust]

ive seen so many

[grim steppe]

neetcode.io

[sinful locust]

no

not the good people

[hardy patrol]

huh let me check it out

[sinful locust]

i don’t think so

idk i block a lot of people

probably mostly clowns with 0 internships that dont know shit

lol

[grim steppe]

damnnnn

[sinful locust]

damn right i did

[grim steppe]

^

[sinful locust]

nah

[grim steppe]

good way to put it

[sinful locust]

passing is harder

lol

[hardy patrol]

ive been doing grind75 is neetcode150 better 💀

[sinful locust]

passing is harder

if you can do meds your fine

[grim steppe]

you'll technically be doing both

[sinful locust]

hards is rng

[soft basin]

grind 169 is better

[sinful locust]

getting interview you dont have to do any work

passing you have to do something

@honest spire wtf

no im rigby

stop

krishna

[tardy ridge]

What math contests did you win

[sinful locust]

he won imo

as a freshman

he made imo

[tardy ridge]

Oh ok yeah IMO qual = quant

[eternal hornet]

Wait so have people already heard from Microsoft?

Cuz I haven’t heard anything

[sinful locust]

i heard @sinful locust got an offer

[sinful locust]

i think theres an imo at fb

my final for 2s was one lc, one debugging/oop, 3 behavioral

[tardy ridge]

Bro how are you this good 💀 I got ghosted by Amazon

[eternal hornet]

Wait so did I just get ghosted?

[sinful locust]

how was amazon final

[sinful locust]

nono i’m kidding

texturing just started

recruiting

dw

[sullen grail]

dw man give it time

[sinful locust]

bruh

ok cool

nothing to stress

[sullen grail]

last year i apply amzn got ghosted for 4 months before getting oa

[tardy ridge]

Hopefully, I’m just sad that I haven’t gotten interviewed anywhere or anything

And ig jealous that other people are getting stuff lol

[near swallow]

Learn it. I didnt take systems or OS or anything with concurrency in college and it’s holding me back now. Had to resort to reading OSTEP book

[sullen grail]

dw, is this ur first time recruiting?

[tardy ridge]

Even if it’s super early rn

No second time, it was easier last year thk

And I was a freshman last year

…

[sullen grail]

oh fr? hmm i find this yr easier so far

ymmv ig

[tardy ridge]

Idk

My luck is terrible rn

Bad times

[near swallow]

2sig is still goated, take it. Why risk citsec wlb

[sullen grail]

dw it's a numbers game. u will regress to mean luck

[sullen grail]

how much u read in that?

[tardy ridge]

Wait @inner kernel are you like top 5 CS college

[near swallow]

Im wanting to read the whole thing it’s great

[tardy ridge]

Just wondering lol

[near swallow]

One stop shop for OS

[sinful locust]

yo

[sullen grail]

my friend who got citsec offer had just leetcodes. like p chill process

[sinful locust]

ostep wasnt bad right

yea

[echo saddle]

Tf is HYP

[sullen grail]

harv yale prince

[tardy ridge]

Oh that makes sense okay lol

[sullen grail]

go bulldogs

[sinful locust]

are you talking about where to go for full time or just for intern?

[echo saddle]

also I just cannot comprehend how some people just be securing both Two Sigma and Citadel

Casually

Like no biggie

[sinful locust]

for intern I'd probably say citsec > tbh, more value for later to get into other top firms

[tardy ridge]

Just go to Ivy

[sullen grail]

i mean if u get one, it's p likely u have decent shot at other

[sinful locust]

do the better one for intern

if you value wlb then 2s might be better as a full time option, but I'd probably prefer interning at citsec

[sullen grail]

most ppl ik had two of js/2s/cit/hrt/5r and then nego

[echo saddle]

Intern at citadel for sure

[sinful locust]

and 5r

mit

[near swallow]

U passed a ton of good finals didnt u lol, those are doable, citadel screen is just hella tough and 2s also a crapshoot

[echo saddle]

Also why are y’all calling it citsec

[near swallow]

Regardless the people i know who prep for cit prep hard

[sullen grail]

there's two

citsec and citadel

[echo saddle]

Oh wtf

[sullen grail]

my friends got offer from citsec, not citadel

[echo saddle]

What’s citsec

[tardy ridge]

Are there tech companies that pay more than quant?

[near swallow]

I’ve been told citsec better for tech

[sinful locust]

cit securities

[sinful locust]

doubt

[echo saddle]

I thought citsec was citadel

[old moon]

How is Databricks technical?

[sinful locust]

citsec and citadel are different

cit securities and citadel arent the same

[sullen grail]

market makers vs trading firm

[sinful locust]

for working

[near swallow]

Quants have tiers too, the ones people talk about here tho pay more yeah

[sinful locust]

citsec is one side of it

[tardy ridge]

Quant starting for SWE NG is like 250k+ right?

[sinful locust]

usually

varies by firm, some go higher

but very few will pay under 250

[tardy ridge]

Is FAANG 200k+?

[near swallow]

Tech stack dont matter when ur new grad 250k recurring tc

No cap

[near swallow]

Not recurring

[sinful locust]

but yea i agree

bro are people really caring about tech stack

[echo saddle]

C1 is goated for coasting

[near swallow]

But u get promo and might as well be. Very close

[sinful locust]

its cool for intern ig

[tardy ridge]

What is it yearly then

[sinful locust]

but for full time tech stack isnt gonna matter

probably

think 2s is somewhere around 250 recurring

[echo saddle]

Got another friend is at Nordstrom who hasn’t done a single thing in the past 3 months

[sinful locust]

idk tho cuz the data on levels is always so fucked

[sinful locust]

its very wrong for quant

even trading

what did he say

[near swallow]

My recurring at big N is 165k

[sinful locust]

who?

you

when you misspelled it

what did who say

[near swallow]

But like i said u get promo at 1-2 yrs so

[tardy ridge]

Oh that’s still rly good

[echo saddle]

How many leetcodes u do

[sinful locust]

all of them

also 2s promotion seems kinda shit according to levels

like salary doesnt go up much

levels wrong

[near swallow]

Listen to this guy. If u leave by 3yrs it doesnt matter

Ur still a noob

[sinful locust]

i think you get better salaries at higher levels at the other firms

which is part of why im trynna get into like any other firm rn

[echo saddle]

You at 2s??

[tardy ridge]

In the long run (5-10 years), what’s the difference between how much a quant makes and a person at FAANG

[sinful locust]

yeah

[tardy ridge]

Assuming similar promotions and stuff

[sinful locust]

if youre at fb maybe not much

[sinful locust]

for swe at both, varies by firm a lot

[near swallow]

I wouldnt think too hard on that. Just take the best offer everytime

[sinful locust]

difference is most viisble in ng

cuz some are gonna give huge promotions and get you a shit ton of money

2s vs facebook will probably be small

[echo saddle]

FB pays the most out of FAANG?

[sinful locust]

but like hrt vs microsoft will be huge

[sinful locust]

they promote one of the fastest

[tardy ridge]

Is FB even gonna be alive, zuck isn’t able to hold his company together it seems

Idk

[sinful locust]

thats more common for traders I think, if hes talking swe idk if thats super true

idk about js or hrt

[uneven sand]

Apple pays the most

[sinful locust]

cap

apple pays bad except for ml

[uneven sand]

Tim apple makes way more than meta e3

[sinful locust]

apple -> quant pipeline 👀

[echo saddle]

FB gonna be bigger than Apple, just u wait

[sinful locust]

viasat -> 2s pipeline exists

[tardy ridge]

Fr? Why?

Or actually yeah probably

If the metaverse works out

[sinful locust]

lost wants nuro

only

[tardy ridge]

Do people go from FAANG to quant

[sinful locust]

he wants cars

[tardy ridge]

Or is that rare

[sinful locust]

yes

[sinful locust]

sure

like for interns definitely

[tardy ridge]

Is it common tho

[near swallow]

yes they do

[sinful locust]

a lot of quant interns probably started at faang

just go from nothing to quant

easy

@late terrace hated it apparently

[near swallow]

not super common but just go pick a quant on linkedin and view swe -> former companh

[sinful locust]

but i know some who liked it

some = 1

ask him

@sleek pike youre being summoned

[tardy ridge]

Do people do it even after having a NG job at FAANG

[near swallow]

My coworker is literally going to js with 2yoe at big tech yeah

[sinful locust]

is cit sec OA auto?

thats solid

[tardy ridge]

And then switch to Quant FT job

[sinful locust]

thats probably less common but def possible

[uneven sand]

lol are you in the call

[sinful locust]

not that bad, one of my interviewers seemed to know how much of what i was saying was actually exaggerated bs

but still got the offer so whatever

lol

this was last year btw

[uneven sand]

is it worth going to

[near swallow]

Im new to job so i havent asked but i will try

[sinful locust]

hello boss, can u pls share ur experiences?

[near swallow]

Obviously would be valuable to have that data point

Cuz levels is shit

[sinful locust]

levels sucks

youll learn it all in like your first week at 2s

they teach you the stuff well

and they have a lot of resources to learn

commondity is a thing, equity is a percentage

[tardy ridge]

Have any of you guys done codepath here

[sinful locust]

does 2s do options

probably

I wasnt on that side so idk

they dont have traders right?

maybe options invest

we dont have trader interns

idk

but I feel like we should have traders

[uneven sand]

rigby I’ll give you kd for 2s offer

[sinful locust]

do hedge funds have traders

idk

i did talk to some people who seemed like they did basically trading

[near swallow]

I was in adv tech prep class and dropped it, was busy. I have 1 friend that did it and is now a goat

[sinful locust]

but their job titles werent trader

[near swallow]

U either leave codepath a goat cuz u were already one or it’s useless tbh lol

[sinful locust]

isnt it just for the fair lmao

[sinful locust]

i dont want kd

[near swallow]

Tbh ask people who went to their fair. The actual learnings can be picked up elsewheere

[sinful locust]

arent you at meta

[uneven sand]

I did it for extra practice and career fair lol

I gave 0 shits

[sinful locust]

hows meta intern hiring looking?

[near swallow]

The classes are good and structured but yeah the fair is the thing

[uneven sand]

idk

[sinful locust]

[near swallow]

Oh right they get mocks. Lowkey useful

[sinful locust]
