[hardy patrol]

[soft basin]

armaze->amazon is a greedy question

[hardy patrol]

praying i get powerday

[crisp berry]

dp is ok if i can find the recurrance

[soft basin]

[crisp berry]

dp is like doing proofs i feel like

[sinful locust]

[rapid swan]

thats the entire problem

[sinful locust]

its 66

[crisp berry]

you just need to intuition grind

[soft basin]

they can do dp when they can do it 💀

[rapid swan]

free food and corp housing tho?

[rapid swan]

literally

dead

[soft basin]

i still struggle w house robber

[rapid swan]

unfortunate for new grad

but I feel like c1 internship is awesome

[soft basin]

it’s only 10 weeks

[rapid swan]

for good leverage into other companies as well

[soft basin]

the pay is good but location can be eh

cuz nyc and sf office are hella small

[rapid swan]

yeah also I heard like the project is with other interns?

is that true

[soft basin]

idk lmao

wait so each intern for most companies work on separate projects?

[rapid swan]

just go to mclean va clearly

[soft basin]

but no legal weed 😭

[rapid swan]

they have minigolf on the roof

[rapid swan]

priorities

[rapid swan]

yes

[soft basin]

hence why i chose seattle and amz

[rapid swan]

like a full timer

at least at big tech

[hardy patrol]

im already emotionally invested in c1/amz so if i get rejected to both im going into cryosleep till next season

[rapid swan]

r u at final?

[hardy patrol]

took oa for c1 today and amazon next week

[soft basin]

jeez i’ve never done a full proj by myself before

[jaunty cove]

damn u already got oa for amazon

ive been waiting 2 weeks

[hardy patrol]

i care more for c1 since it sounds easier than amz

[rapid swan]

its ok u will learn

[jaunty cove]

it pays better and its not at amazon so i would prefer c1 too

[hardy patrol]

tempering my expectations since i already bombed the oa but the subreddit said to keep my head up

after nearly shitting my pants

[rapid swan]

intern pay means nothing compared to ng pay tho

like compare amazon vs c1 ng pay

[jaunty cove]

ok

i am not gojng to bother applying ng for amazon sonce i wouldnt wanna work there ft

So i would prefer c1

[hallow scroll]

but 120k tho

[uneven sand]

you don't have to work their ft tho

if you're fine with interviewing again for ng, amazon will open more doors than c1

[jaunty cove]

I guess

it just sounds like a bad time

[hallow scroll]

yeah amazon feeds into like every good company

[jaunty cove]

i thought they were not seen as prestigious compared to other faang

[hallow scroll]

who tf cares lol its still amazon

[jaunty cove]

💀

[hallow scroll]

its still faang and it still gets you past resume screens

[soft basin]

c1 new grad is horrendous

[sinful locust]

yo yo

c1 is fake

id take no name trader over c1 no cap

[hardy patrol]

cap

[sinful locust]

no cap

[hardy patrol]

claiming to be no cap however

[sinful locust]

no cap

[rapid swan]

u dont have to work there ft

[white zinc]

is palantir prestigious

[hallow scroll]

no

they accept everyone

[jaunty cove]

Im trying to do cs career speedeun any% so maybe i should choose amazon if i get it

[rapid swan]

but basically everyone who wants high pay is gonna go for amazon ft

[soft basin]

i’d take amz ft if i got return offer

[rapid swan]

need an offer to negotiate with

[hardy patrol]

💯

[hallow scroll]

yes take it

[soft basin]

jane street is bottom tier as well

[ocean relic]

tiktok not giving me my swag bruh

was supposed to be last week

now im going to school 😦

[past comet]

hows the work culture ?

[soft basin]

idk but i enjoy the customization of background

[ocean relic]

for an intern was fine

[past comet]

Oooo, what kind of project you worked on ?

[ocean relic]

just want a backpack man my backpack rn ass

[past comet]

BE/FE /Mobile ?

[somber crystal]

[ocean relic]

BE w/ Go

[past comet]

We all love swags

[ocean relic]

was fun

[past comet]

Holy shit this is good

[soft basin]

yeah i do like being able to customize

make sure to back up first tho

[past comet]

I am probably gonna wait till it is launched publicly. I dont want to waste time upgrading.downgrading

[soft basin]

once ios 16 fully releases i’ll switch out of the beta program

i got the developer beta for free

[plush viper]

i got the m1 16 after using it at zon

didnt like the m2 options and my xps literally wouldnt last one class

[soft basin]

u kept it or u bought ur own?

either ways too late i alr copped m2 16gb 😭😭

[plush viper]

hahaha no i bought it

ill miss the xps but it had to be done

[soft basin]

does ammy give a brand new laptop?

to borrow

[plush viper]

yea

[soft basin]

that makes no sense tho what do they do with the old ones

[plush viper]

sell em probs

[soft basin]

amazon moment

“frugality” 🙄🙄

[plush viper]

yea in my experience amazon was not frugal at all

i had so many perks

[soft basin]

what were they? 👀👀

[plush viper]

i mean my favorite was being able to use an ebike the whole summer

that shit was so fun

and i had unlimited lyfts

[soft basin]

oh

my placement is greater seattle area

i’m excited to see the globe

[plush viper]

seattle was breathtaking

highly recommend the ebike to adventure around

[soft basin]

idk what part of greater seattle area i’ll get but i’ll take advantage of it anyways

[plush viper]

probably seattle, but i biked to bellevue across the bridge and it was rly nice there too

10 min bike ride btw so fast

[wooden shard]

is getting no response better than getting rejected?

or basically the same

[soft basin]

bellevue is part of seattle or nah?

[plush viper]

nah its a bridge away

[wooden shard]

cause i see a lot of people getting OAs or rejected but im not getting either

[soft basin]

for ammy greater seattle area references to seattle or bellevue?

[plush viper]

• redmond

but prolly seattle

[soft basin]

oh redmond is part of it?

shit

i’m hoping for either bellevue or seattle then

[jaunty cove]

What

[fickle ivy]

no they just take a whlie

dw

[soft basin]

they are extremely backed up it’s gonna take a while

[crisp berry]

no way to know

im ghosted too

lets use the time for extra prep

[wooden shard]

idk i just feel like im getting ghosted a lot

[fickle ivy]

F

[crisp berry]

i want to be

ill cancel all my other interviews

[fickle ivy]

for OA?

i applied very early so i was one of the first ones

but normally takes 1 week ish

to 2 weeks

for OA

but im also not sure if they are still sending out OAs

[uneven sand]

no lol

amazon usually recruits until February-ish

yea I’m capping

amazon is full

[rustic topaz]

what?

amazon is full????

[uneven sand]

recruiter told me congrats for getting the last spot

[rustic topaz]

😭

[rustic topaz]

WHAT

AMAZON out of spots?

[uneven sand]

dw I’m trolling

unless amazon is accepting 1/10 of the people they usually accept they’re def not full

[rustic topaz]

Someone sent me what they look for

man

I am scared

[uneven sand]

even if they were full they would just waitlist you

[rustic topaz]

Yo

did you do the DRW or whatever codality?

[uneven sand]

yea

[rustic topaz]

Was it easy?

[uneven sand]

I don’t remember it being particularly hard

[rustic topaz]

what type of questions?

[uneven sand]

lc

[crisp berry]

send this to me

[jaunty cove]

yea some companies take forever to respond others will ghost you and thats their way of rejecting you

[crisp berry]

rn

[uneven sand]

iirc it has hidden test cases

[uneven sand]

some companies have barely gone through applications

[rustic topaz]

da dude said to not leak

😦

he might get in trouble

[crisp berry]

understood

[uneven sand]

like a lot of tech companies have only just started sending out stuff even tho their apps opened a month ago

[wooden shard]

thats true

just kinda tough cause i thought i had a good resume

[uneven sand]

2 weeks

pretty much everyone is getting it the 2nd Monday after they applied

[crisp berry]

for which company

[uneven sand]

amazon

and then you get final invite about a week after OA

when did you apply

[crisp berry]

i applied end of june and i think i got it end of july

[uneven sand]

yea you applied early

[jaunty cove]

Ive waired 2 weeks

No oa

[uneven sand]

if you applied after the OA waves started, it takes 2 weeks

[crisp berry]

Lmao

[rustic topaz]

and?

It's a bfs problem

ima use bfs

🤷‍♀️

[uneven sand]

You initialized the deque wrong

[jaunty cove]

Just

[rustic topaz]

wym

[jaunty cove]

Have a width variable and inc/dec it appropriately

[crisp berry]

why are you iterating over the queue

you should do while the queue has elements

[rustic topaz]

I thought you could do ([])

or tuple inside

I tried tuple

[crisp berry]

u dont iterate the queue like that

[rustic topaz]

it aint work

[uneven sand]

it should be deque([(root, 0)])

[rustic topaz]

I normally do iteration cause it feels like level order traversal

[jaunty cove]

Ok goku

[rustic topaz]

wtf

why

[jaunty cove]

left make width -1

right make width +1

[rustic topaz]

???

[uneven sand]

you initialize with an iterable

[rustic topaz]

bro the math formula is right

it's the deuque

bs

[crisp berry]

oh yeah its because deque() is a constructor and its trying to use the tuple to construct it

so u gotta wrap

[rustic topaz]

Really?

    def __init__(self):
        self.output = 1
    def widthOfBinaryTree(self, root: Optional[TreeNode]) -> int:
        if root == None:
            return 0
        queue = deque([(root, 0)])
        
        
        while queue:
            level = []
            for i in range(len(queue)):
                node, pos = queue.popleft()
                if node.left:
                    queue.append([node.left, 2 * pos])
                if node.right:
                    queue.append([node.right, 2 * pos+1])
            if queue:
                self.output = max(self.output, queue[-1][1] - queue[0][1] + 1)
        return self.output
            ```

got the solution 🙏

thanks y'all

[sinful locust]

mf just copy and pasted grokking the coding interview

[rustic topaz]

???

This question isn't in grokking lmao

[sinful locust]

would amazon interviewers let you share your screen and use a sketchpad?

i find it easier to explain abstraction when im drawing shit

[past comet]

does verkada send out rejects ? or they just ghost you

[azure fulcrum]

roblox part 2 the coolest shit ever

[past comet]

i just closed it after part-1 fml

had good score on gca tho

[azure fulcrum]

part1 was agonizing it lagged like crazy

[manic swallow]

wtf just recurse

nvm

tail recurse 😎

i fucking hate loops

they’re only good for rollercoasters istg

[past comet]

wait... you work as FTE for amzn right ?

Fuckkkkkkkkkk

arghhhhhhhhh

fmll

[rustic topaz]

??????????????

why tf would you use recursion

😭

Bro wants to live on hard mode

[manic swallow]

bc

nah tbh i thought it was stack not q

id recurse regardless bc scala tho

[rustic topaz]

?

how tf does dfs make this bfs question easier

it's a level order traversal question 😐

[past comet]

bro

[rustic topaz]

bro

[past comet]

u go down

[rustic topaz]

stop trollin

😭

u go down in the dm?

[rustic topaz]

bro

stop

thjat's animal abuse

[rustic topaz]

        
        output = []
        def dfs(node, par, totalSum):
            if not node:
                return 

            if totalSum + node.val == targetSum:
                output.append(par + [node.val])
                self.output+=1
                return
            dfs(node.left, [], 0)
            dfs(node.right, [], 0)
            dfs(node.left, par + [node.val], totalSum + node.val)
            dfs(node.right, par + [node.val], totalSum + node.val)
            
        
        
        
        dfs(root, [], 0)
        return self.output```

why is my disgusting code not working

😐

@manic swallow

@honest spire

how do I fix this

[manic swallow]

try returning the path sum

[rustic topaz]

I get duplicates

graphs problems 😍

😐

Path Sum 3

[manic swallow]

bruh you used mutation

shit code

[rustic topaz]

😭

wtf do I do

🙄

[steady crow]

Why is python soooo weird

[rustic topaz]

p sure this is sum backtracking bs

I don't know if this is backtracking

💀

Idk

🙄

[manic swallow]

do u need line 10-11?

[rustic topaz]

🙄

[manic swallow]

yea

and

[steady crow]

why can you not do backtracking on a tree which is just a graph

[rustic topaz]

this question is absolute cancer

[crisp berry]

got rejected from fucking target

[rustic topaz]

wtfff

[crisp berry]

it's over

[steady crow]

uhhh i tried this and it works

@rustic topaz

class Solution {
public:
    bool hasPathSum(TreeNode* root, int targetSum) {
        if(root == nullptr) 
            return false;
        
        if(root->val == targetSum && root->left == nullptr && root->right == nullptr)
            return true;
        
        
        return hasPathSum(root->left,  targetSum - root->val) || 
               hasPathSum(root->right, targetSum - root->val);
    }
};

[rustic topaz]

wtf

[steady crow]

oh wait

wrong problem

wait

what problem r u doing

oh

[rustic topaz]

path sum 3

[steady crow]

Tf

ok

[rustic topaz]

this question is ass

i just looked at the solution

mfs using dp, backtracking and hashmap

[steady crow]

ok im not even gonna try it

[rustic topaz]

Why?

[steady crow]

I Have not gotten to DP yet lol

im like 90/150 on neetcode 150

im getting lazy

[rustic topaz]

92/150

😦

[muted summit]

path sum 3 is an inner dfs

in the regular dfs

no dp shit

nvm is not as efficient like that

[jaunty cove]

Subarray sum equals k but with tree

[devout jewel]

Nah advance graph does appear

[crisp berry]

for which companies

[rustic topaz]

for amazon?

😦

Cause advance graphs is hard asf

espcially the union find bs

[crisp berry]

fuck

im not gonna make it

[devout jewel]

Dikstra and unionfind are being asked in any big company interview

[rustic topaz]

😭

[crisp berry]

just gotta coast on the rng

[jaunty cove]

Just memorize those goku

Ez

[crisp berry]

im not learning union find or advanced graph stuff for now

ill learn it when/if i go for quant

theres a difference between graph and advanced graph

which oa are you talking about

which company

[steady crow]

that blackrock oa was like regular graph neetcode but with extra steps

[golden tusk]

Regular graphs are nice

Arguably best category, no weirdness

[rustic topaz]

for interns?

this is the first time I've seen him not on leetcode or gmail

[golden tusk]

Easy hash maps are the best

[rustic topaz]

@queen raven are you goated at binary search questions?

[spark hearth]

there are some weird bin search questions

try med of 2 sorted array

[rustic topaz]

stop recommending cancer questions

🙏

[quaint bolt]

Try to find the shortest path to grass

[rustic topaz]

@quaint bolt

have you done itnerviews for amazon?

[quaint bolt]

I worked there this summer

So possibly

[rustic topaz]

dang

[outer turtle]

I recently entered my phone here.

[quaint bolt]

sadly no

at least if you're in vancouver, seattle's not too far away

[hollow sun]

[simple garden]

[uneven sand]

idts

I got it a bit after I applied

and they don’t hire many interns

ig

I was able to get phone pretty quick so either I got lucky or resume screen was before OA

iirc it was an implementation-focused problem

and wasn’t too hard

[rustic topaz]

@uneven sand

You sure the DRW was easy?

I legit saw the questions

and I gave up

😐

[uneven sand]

[rustic topaz]

they was askin me about like dijstra's, math, and etc

like them questions are hard

wtf

[uneven sand]

math?

[rustic topaz]

Yea

Math

It was legit math

X * (X + 1) or whatever tf

it made no sense

[uneven sand]

was it still a coding problem?

[rustic topaz]

Yea

I legit gave up

[uneven sand]

isn’t that just Gaussian sum * 2

[rustic topaz]

i got no idea

[uneven sand]

sum from 1 to n

[rustic topaz]

wait

no

it was something like A to B

[uneven sand]

Times 2

[rustic topaz]

i forgot

but it was hard

like I legit couldn't understand what they wanted

[uneven sand]

yea that’s just sum from 1 to B minus sum from 1 to A

[rustic topaz]

the second question looked like dijstra's algo

[uneven sand]

can you dm problems

[rustic topaz]

I don't have it

I gave up

a while ago

[uneven sand]

do you remember the gist

[rustic topaz]

Nope

It wasn't 1 A or 1 B

😭

[uneven sand]

anyway drw been ghosting me after my phone

[rustic topaz]

You got final for DRW?

[uneven sand]

no

I hope I do

[rustic topaz]

How good are you with Binary Search Questions?

[uneven sand]

I can do them ig

[steady crow]

why does benchling sound so weird

[uneven sand]

usually the tricky part is recognizing what to binary search on

also tf a roblox recruiter connected with me on LinkedIn

and I got rejected 2 days ago

[steady crow]

How are u guys getting recruiter requests

Wtf

[uneven sand]

idk some senior technical recruiter randomly connected with me

[steady crow]

Wtf

same skl?

[uneven sand]

no

they went to cmu

[steady crow]

stacked resume?

[uneven sand]

no

me

[steady crow]

cmu

[uneven sand]

nah

average discord user is 8 years old

[steady crow]

Lol

[uneven sand]

not a high bar

[hollow sorrel]

did u have the 150min oa ?

[rustic topaz]

I don't remmeber

[oblique surge]

Then you are fucked ig

[hardy patrol]

fuck we lucked out with the good places

[jolly jewel]

Does Capital One let you switch to a different season?

[brazen pier]

Anyone with Interview experience for SAP ixp intern for Encore by SAP?

[thick hare]

Is grind169 & neetcode150 good enough to attempt OAs?

[craggy barn]

Nah we all got these exact locations as options, u choose from all of em if u get an offer

[jolly jewel]

Don't expect being asked those question tho. It's all about pattern recognition

[glad river]

how selective is Databricks?

[soft basin]

cap one only has summer

[jolly jewel]

Yee I had a recruiter tell me

[thick hare]

Okay 👍🏻

[ember bison]

very

like more selective lower tier trading firms

id put em on par with cit?

[atomic fox]

what does cap one say on workday when you finish the assessment

like is it supposed to just say assessment in progress?

[tardy ridge]

Yes

[atomic fox]

thanks

[tardy ridge]

I might be wrong, I think when they send you the first email, it changes

To like review or smth, idk

[atomic fox]

Ah ok I gotchu

[soft basin]

just answer honestly

[marsh saddle]

Just put how much u have in ur resume

Its an internship they dont really expect u to have

[soft basin]

i answered i had none and i got past final 🤷‍♂️

[hardy patrol]

oh excluding lmao

yea 0

[formal gust]

I would mention it 😂😂 makes it seem like companies want you lmao

[hardy patrol]

it says offer specifically so no

i was thinking that but im afraid of saying i have to hear back by next week just for them to drop me cuz their scheduling is backed by 2 months

💀

[old moon]

What does Jane street ask in final

[hardy patrol]

credit card number and the 3 digits on the back

[tired garden]

What you guys think of palantir as a place to work? Have heard conflicting opinions about it

[sinful locust]

quite

[sinful locust]

war crime

bad

@hardy patrol hows c1

[hardy patrol]

they could ask me if i was comfortable with poisoning the squirrels in the park and id be forced to say yes cause ill do anything to not get screened out

[sinful locust]

@storm thistle I can finally ask, how was meraki

[hardy patrol]

no word yet they just verified cs score

[tired garden]

Lol hence why I said conflicting opinions...

[sinful locust]

they verified even after you left the video?

[hardy patrol]

i submitted before leaving

[sinful locust]

oh

[tired garden]

Is it true they actually do super shady stuff and will other companies look at it poorly

[hardy patrol]

palantir is the defense company right

[sinful locust]

probably not, theyre still a very well known company

[white urchin]

You'll be fine

[hardy patrol]

i dont think companies look at you negatively for interning there

[white urchin]

Palantir, Lockheed raytheon

[hardy patrol]

if anything isnt that place hard asf to get in

[quaint bolt]

They don’t do shady stuff, it’s just they work with governments, FBI, CIA etc

As in they all use Palantir

[hardy patrol]

working with the fbi/cia is shady

[white urchin]

They definitely do shady stuff imo

[sinful locust]

yes

[quaint bolt]

Hence people generally disliking them

[white urchin]

But if you don't have a problem with it

Go for it

[sinful locust]

@quaint bolt how was drw phone

[quaint bolt]

Also yes mr fox

[sinful locust]

have it in 4 minutes

[tired garden]

Well I would need the offer first lol. Just had hm interview so let's see

[quaint bolt]

They don’t sponsor so I wouldn’t know

[white urchin]

Msft and Amazon were fighting over a Cia contract iirc

[sinful locust]

oh wait vexor was the one who did it

[quaint bolt]

I heard back about offer within one week

[hardy patrol]

i remember talking to the recruiter for raytheon and bro was like btw its policy here that if you leak any classified documents to foreign agents you could get a death sentence and i was like bruh its an internship 💀

[sinful locust]

you got palantir offer? damn

paladin

peloton

[tired garden]

Did you hm interview have technical?

[quaint bolt]

Purely behavioural

[tired garden]

Ahh then you did well onsite

[quaint bolt]

I think so yeah

[glad river]

think you can choose which sector you work with for Palantir

[tired garden]

I redid my learning technical unfortunately so lessee

[white zinc]

what qualifies as doing well onsite

[quaint bolt]

Anyways, it’s just an ethics thing. Every company is “evil” it’s just how many layers of abstraction you need to go thru to get to it

[white zinc]

like the interviewer had to give me like one thing but i’m not sure if that means i’ll have to redo learning

[quaint bolt]

This is very arbitrary my friend

[tired garden]

Whether or not ur hm is entirely behavioral. Your recruiter should tell you whether there will be a technical component on your hm interview

[golden root]

What’s palantir intern pay this summer ?

[quaint bolt]

You can only do forward deployed if you’re a US citizen

Forward deployed would be pretty pog tho

[white zinc]

my recruiter asked me which sector i wanted

so i think u can choose

[quaint bolt]

They went to Ferrari HQ in Italy for 6 months

[white zinc]

[quaint bolt]

Between swe and forward deployed?

Yes you can choose only if you’re a US citizen

[white zinc]

no she already confirmed i was going for forward deployed

[quaint bolt]

They’ll switch you to swe later on if you’re not

[white zinc]

she asked what sector in forward deployed i wanted

like commercial or gov and then my interviewer asked what sector in commercial i wanted

[quaint bolt]

Should’ve said ferrrai hq

[glad river]

damn I put dev in my app

is forward deployed better?

[quaint bolt]

Depends

[white zinc]

lowk everyone shits on it on reddit

but it’s an internship so i mean

not really locking urself in

[quaint bolt]

If you like moving around and working directly with customers it’s fun

I mean

[white zinc]

yeah i think it’s personal preference

[quaint bolt]

Idk about you but I’d love to go to Italy and work with Ferrari lmao

[glad river]

just want a call back at this point

[hardy patrol]

feel like italy would be fun the first week until i find some grievances that make me hate the country

[quaint bolt]

Means I can potentially take a 458 out on their track

[hardy patrol]

i saw positions open in singapore and china but i dont know shit about either place so ill stay out

[quaint bolt]

Singapore is pog

Go when they have the Grand Prix

It’s a nice track

[white urchin]

For their f1 div?

[hardy patrol]

heard they have a fun surprise waiting for you if you have anything to say about the government

[quaint bolt]

Dk
