[marsh saddle]

My school has auto admit into cs ms if u grt 3.0 or higher last 2 years

[scenic sluice]

1 year MBA worth?

[scenic sluice]

Thats bretty good

[sinful locust]

Anyone passed databricks technicals

[scenic sluice]

Meanwhile get bs cs and make same tc in 1/4 the time

[hallow scroll]

dbricks resume reject

[scenic sluice]

Its broken

Bricc

DThicc

Ducc

[hallow scroll]

dont think linkedin oa is auto

i think theres some sort of light resume screen for it

[sinful locust]

ducc u are cracked

u have mnay offers

[elfin peak]

Linkedin OA?

[elfin peak]

Definitely not light lol I haven't got anything

Same

[sinful locust]

Anyone passed databricks technicals

hello

:deepmind: manifesting

do u go to a target school? how are u so cracked

[old moon]

^

[soft basin]

i used to be good at math

and when college started i became worse

i was goated at ap bc calc 😭

its like after senior year of high school i stopped taking math classes

me thinking abt topological sort with this diagram

[rustic topaz]

wym

like your progress slows down?

Ye

ye

[hardy patrol]

my only issue is recognizing which pattern needs to be used

gonna read grokking

[true glade]

this. i lost a lot of motivation now lol

im at 300 and idk i just dont wanna do it anymore lol

legit i find bs a lot more fun nowadays

[late terrace]

what year are you?

so you would be transferring as a junior and would be very difficult

probably not worth

[sinful locust]

are there offers that I can't renege? or can I renege any offer I accept

[late terrace]

apparently duolingo?

[cyan garnet]

@zealous trail

[true glade]

yes girs

[sullen grail]

Go bears

Berk bro yea

[static spindle]

wtf

im transferring rn

[sullen grail]

Classes def diff. My instructor for ds taught at princeton and said berk’s deprtment guidelines much more rigorous. He said at least 40% more work for same class compared to princeton

I can find lecture from last yr if yall dont believe me

[steady crow]

does meta referral help at all

[sullen grail]

So there’s a fine line bw wasting students time and actually learning

Feel like my school for some classes is just unecessary work, and its hard to make time for more creative things when school work becomes p high

Schools may teach same thing, but assignments vary drastically

I lov brown

What’s open curriculum?

[sinful locust]

yahkub

what up

true

true

[steady crow]

open curriculum sounds so amazing

[sullen grail]

Basically brown lol

[sinful locust]

@hearty river

[steady crow]

yea and a lot of LACs but thats pretty much it

[sullen grail]

U tech ically can still do that w audit

If ur saying no gpa

That’s basically audit

[sinful locust]

who cares

mans getting the goated offers

[sullen grail]

@inner kernel any tips for citadel phone?

[sinful locust]

brown kinda sus

@fickle ivy

[steady crow]

💀

[true glade]

why didnt u go

[sullen grail]

I thinj mit >>> for eng

[steady crow]

but CS stuff isnt everything

[sullen grail]

Like p easy mit choice unless u goy other reason

For me it was between penn and berk, and tht was p easy being in state

[true glade]

i heard harv cs used to be shit but its gotten better recently

isnt putnam entirely mit

[sinful locust]

go harvard

[granite walrus]

Has literally anyone successfully moved amazon offer for summer 23 to winter or fall 23? I have an offer but really don't want to take it for the summer

fuck

bruh why can't they trade me for you lol

Yeah I did but no response yet

[true glade]

i was talking about individual oops

[granite walrus]

Why the fuck did they post the app as summer fall winter if they were gonna place everyone summer lmao

[true glade]

@inner kernel are you ever planning on cross registering

[sinful locust]

idk

@sleek pike stop identifying people

damn

tanz violent

[true glade]

intro to ml

yeah

[sinful locust]

Im joking, some one identified some guy on this server

[late terrace]

@sleek pike stop identifying people

too many freshman

come back to campus

renege ur internship

[fickle ivy]

@sinful locust why is brown sus

lmfao

NU or UW?

[true glade]

[sinful locust]

yo

[sinful locust]

NUS

[hearty river]

TIM THE BEAVER

[sinful locust]

JOHN THE PILGRIM

[hearty river]

mascot of __ university

fill in the blank

[ripe slate]

citadel definitely seems to resume filter for different things compared to js ime

one of my friends got citadel interview every year but never js, and inverse for me till i got referral

yea i was cmu cs with 3 faang internships and got resume rejected from cit every year lol

had to get referral to finally get interview

do u TA by any chance? i have a hunch some companies care about that way more than internships

[sinful locust]

JS cares

they love it

i think i have u added on linkedin

maybe

maybe

either way they’re all bad

gotta make ur own startup

why

do google x

google brain

ML

no

that’s amazon

where u don’t *

where u can chill basicslly

[ripe slate]

google def not 8 hrs a day depending on team (can be way lower)

[sinful locust]

yo

just get google now

lol

true ig

well 2s is not representative lol

of all quant

it’s better wlb

true

both are good

[sudden knot]

do you know how much does 2s new grad pays? I have seen all sorts of numbers

oh i thought it was iver 300k+

[sinful locust]

290k

oh

ig*

[ripe slate]

2s is around 300k ft including signing

[sinful locust]

what about the company u started

radix sort

@hearty river sort

for return it’s like 450 probably

asked some citsec guy

or near 500

[uneven sand]

I heard 2s is around 300k first year, 250k recurring

[ripe slate]

i know standard and negotiated ft from last year

not too up to date on this year but prob hasnt changed by too much

[sinful locust]

@inner kernel there’s a guy who rejected citadel and negotiated google

in the server

kinda it’s more than that

[uneven sand]

their citadel offer was around 300k i think

also they negotiated Bloomberg with citadel and then google with Bloomberg

[sinful locust]

if u have multiple companies use them to make one high counter offer with msftfor exampke then use that to increase google then use another high offer. basicslly if you want to negotiate u need high enoigh offers in the first place

[ripe slate]

last year cit un-negotiated was 375k

but they will match anything

standard external

[quaint bolt]

Google won’t budge with HFT offers, they tend to just tell you they can’t match that lol

If you wanna nego with google, you need other tech companies not HFTs

[ripe slate]

ive yet to see an offer cit hasnt matched lol

[quaint bolt]

Only Meta will attempt to try and match Cit

[sinful locust]

rentech

[quaint bolt]

Yes

You can’t have it all

Who dat

[sinful locust]

only goes so far

😂

[quaint bolt]

Oh idr

[ripe slate]

meta wlb is like 45+ hrs/week if ur trying to get promoted at a decent rate

[sinful locust]

holy

bruh

mark be wildin

it is

[uneven sand]

meta doesn’t even negotiate for new grad

[sinful locust]

that’s to be promoted at a decent rate

[ripe slate]

u could probably coast at 35-40 if ur efficient with ur work

even less if remote tbh

[quaint bolt]

Oh right yeah that was for experienced hire

Meta that is

[sinful locust]

citsec is better

in general

[quaint bolt]

mr coconut

Why r u sad

[sinful locust]

not wlb just in general

hi

hru

[quaint bolt]

Don’t be sad because sad spelled backwards is das and das not good

[ripe slate]

honestly im not entirely against this outlook for first few years

[sinful locust]

i think? but i’m talking about teams

[ripe slate]

at least they are being up front about it

[sinful locust]

hopefully they do

🙏

[sand orbit]

anyone asked for refers to HRT?

[ripe slate]

for swe tc progression most likely yea

[hardy patrol]

at this point i feel like cap 1 gonna run out of spots by the time i interview bruh

their booked till november

[sand orbit]

they just directly send me the OA link, but I haven't filled any application...

[hardy patrol]

💀

[sinful locust]

yeah lol

they’re booked out

ggs

[hardy patrol]

this is ass

for powerday

dont know if specific loc

[sinful locust]

yeah they probably choose before u even know

based on which end of the company likes u

wait are u doing citsec QR?

oh

u probably do

ur underestimating urself

based off of how you performed this season so far

maybe for QR

SWE you’ve done well

it’s literally just prob and math

i feel like trader is best if both worlds

like in between

algo dev hrt

just go down the SWE path

if ur after less work

research is hard

and never will get easier

which quant ask SD?

system design

and do any ask niche stuff like OS networking compilers

cause thay could be annoying

af

[ripe slate]

hrt asks a lot of this kind of stuff

[sinful locust]

yes

[sinful locust]

smh gonna have to grind everything then

bruh

can’t u just say no

and still pass

loll

[ripe slate]

i think as long as u dont put it on ur resume or something most companies will be ok with u not knowing some of those stuff

[sinful locust]

ah interesting

just say so you wanna do a bit of sharding here

with some bits

yeah

that’s why never put C++

unless u actuslly can get questioned on it

smh

ayo ur back

they passing u back and forth

yo refer me to google

oh how’s it work

still not found a fit for u idk

oh

[ember bison]

idk

my intern manager got promoted in his first half whilst working <= 35 hrs

hes also waterloo + 6 big n internships

[sinful locust]

bro what’re u repeating

lol

why*

[ember bison]

idek if google negos with two sigma/cit lol

[quaint bolt]

One of us

[ember bison]

they nego hard with big tech tho

[quaint bolt]

Google won’t match HFTs

[ember bison]

yea lol

[sinful locust]

yo

[quaint bolt]

They will straight up tell you “We can’t match that, accept their offer instead”

[sinful locust]

refer me to quora

brodie applied QR thoigh

smh

oh

i see

[ember bison]

@inner kernel hm whats ur background

[sinful locust]

he’s a english major

[ember bison]

2s tc is rly high for ng now lol

not for new grad

[sinful locust]

quora tech lead >>>

[ember bison]

2s new grad hits 400k now i think

[sinful locust]

no

wtf

[ember bison]

id rather take that than 996

[ripe slate]

wdym by nicer

[ember bison]

working from 9am to 9pm 6 days a week

[sinful locust]

LOL

[fleet tulip]

Nah 2s >>> citadel

There’s a reason why it’s called the sigma male grindset, not the citadel male grindset

[ripe slate]

no im desk dev

[sinful locust]

beta male == QR

[fleet tulip]

I think 2s more clout

[ember bison]

bro

no way its a fluke like 10x

ur just a rly good fit lol

[ripe slate]

i think citadel treats its interns the nicest out of every firm for sure

ive talked with some cit ft'ers and they are all jealous of the shit interns get

[ember bison]

lmfao yeah

if you get IMC (they have signing)

cit will nego for intern

LMFAO

idk bro ur just smart

thats it

[sinful locust]

Tf

[ember bison]

LMFAO

[sinful locust]

Based on what

[ember bison]

they did for my friend

but he did REALLY good

lmfao

[static spindle]

sheesh

[ember bison]

IQ diff

[true glade]

ok but ppl who come from math backgrounds

[ember bison]

arent u at MIT lmfao

[true glade]

probably can transition easily to cs

[sinful locust]

in what sense

bro ur in the top 1% lmao

[ember bison]

lmfao fr

0.01%

u can try

[ripe slate]

now is the best time to learn functional programming then

before u learn bad things like mutability

[static spindle]

functional programming 🤮

[true glade]

hype for types

[sinful locust]

i find that hard to beleive

unless ur a prodigy

[ember bison]

bro lets see ur LC stats

[sinful locust]

[ripe slate]

yoo are u cmu lol

[ember bison]

idk bro ppl r just built diff

[sinful locust]

yeah

[true glade]

[sinful locust]

he’s done 140 something LC

[true glade]

my friend likes PL @ripe slate

[sinful locust]

wdym by this? it doesnt have like a finance bro culture or anything, its super chill

[ripe slate]

we have a student-taught class called "hype for types"

[sinful locust]

and people only have 1 manager for the most part

[true glade]

ye

[sinful locust]

I was just there this summer and it was literally the most relaxed shit ever

people were pulling up at 1pm

[ember bison]

if u get imc

they'll bump it to 25k

i think

[sinful locust]

maybe different for quants but the swes seem to be relaxed af there

[ripe slate]

didnt intern so dont know much about it yet

[sinful locust]

playing ping pong on work hours and stuff

and no one wears formal clothes or anything

[ember bison]

citsec has better culture than citadel

[uneven sand]

2s got good weed

[ripe slate]

starting in 4 days so i will have all the knowledge then

[sinful locust]

i was in houston so we werent allowed to use the stash

texas laws

stay off the weed

[sinful locust]

stop

duh

weed bad

[static spindle]

L why would you ever be in houston

[sinful locust]

I wouldnt by choice

[ember bison]

[hollow sun]

yo @sinful locust

[sinful locust]

ever

yo

hey swatch

@hollow sun

[hollow sun]

yo @sinful locust

[sinful locust]

do you respect women yet

yo @hollow sun

[hollow sun]

@sinful locust yo

[ember bison]

[sinful locust]

yo juda

[sinful locust]

yeah

[ember bison]

good shit

[ripe slate]

did u get the classic order book question

[sinful locust]

which one?

[ember bison]

isnt optimal for order book hash map -> dll?

[sinful locust]

drop a first letter

first letter

theyre all unique

[uneven sand]

L

[sinful locust]

dox

there were 10

[ripe slate]

js lets u just convert it to fulltime and postpone it indefinitely

[true glade]

alternatively you could give it to me instead

[sinful locust]

isn’t there like one girl LOL

there were 3

hrt after first year?

oh

yo

[ripe slate]

thats what i thought about google

and then they resume screened me

lmao

[ember bison]

LMFAO

[sinful locust]

drop a letter

[sinful locust]

dm him

he has dms off

i dont want to

all I need is a letter

I was one of the freshman interns

[ripe slate]

i dont think half the google recruiters know what js is

[sinful locust]

just tell me

STOP

STOOOOOPPPPPPPPPP

[ripe slate]

yea i think if u email recruiter and headcount is available at most theyd make u do like 1 round

[true glade]

altf4

[sinful locust]

yo

[ripe slate]

also like if u passed interview once

u can prob pass again

so i wouldnt worry about it that much

yea i agree with that

[sinful locust]

why

[uneven sand]

js > bc ocaml >

[sinful locust]

isnt hrt == js

depends on what you wanna do ig

[ripe slate]

better to experience more options

[sinful locust]

isnt it risk with js, or do they just expedite

[ripe slate]

and with js offer locked in will help with nego hrt later if u want to go back

assuming u get return

[sinful locust]

fair

@inner kernel its E

[uneven sand]

Emily

[sinful locust]

perhaps

yes

woah doxxed

i know what school woah goes to now

citsec >>>>>> hrt

[uneven sand]

didn’t woah already doxx his school

[sinful locust]

hrt doesnt have ken griffin

[ember bison]

someone from my school took citsec over hrt ng

[ripe slate]

from people ive talked to i think hrt comp progression isnt as great as some similar firms

[ember bison]

eah

[ripe slate]

i also think some firms way underrated

like jump

[ember bison]

jump is fucking insane

[sinful locust]

does jump hire people outside of illinois

[ember bison]

yeah

[sinful locust]

whats jump crypto like

[ember bison]

insane

[sinful locust]

bonuses?

[sinful locust]

@6ix

[uneven sand]

amazon

[sinful locust]

ncr

[ember bison]

[ripe slate]

yea none of these companies are that much better than each other in the long run

[ember bison]

[uneven sand]

do hrt off-season

[sinful locust]

I dont think js is hard to get return right?

not as hard as hrt

[ripe slate]

its also not a lifetime commitment

[sinful locust]

and you got that one

didnt they slash js returns

50% or something

i thought js didnt

someone said

[ember bison]

they slashed hrt returns

[sinful locust]

hrt got fucked

[ripe slate]

hrt core return is much lower than past years

[ember bison]

@placid tapir

[ripe slate]

algo teams seemed to be fine

[ember bison]

yeah after a bad year

id cut down on core too

[sinful locust]

hrt going under

im gonna short them

short hrt, long js

free money

[clever grail]

[sinful locust]

not for 2s, Ive only gotten like 5 OAs out of 20ish

but only one rejection

so some more might come later

I got citadel, drw, imc, optiver

[uneven sand]

any phones?

[sinful locust]

js resume rejected

[sinful locust]

yeah for cit and drw

[uneven sand]

nice

[sinful locust]

imc did the video thing recently, optiver havent done the oa yet

[uneven sand]

[placid tapir]

[sinful locust]

probably

aquatic and js resume rejected

oh also got hrt, but yeah thats bot too

[ripe slate]

[placid tapir]

[uneven sand]

cit OA is auto I think

[placid tapir]

i cannot get tech interviews for the life of me

[marsh saddle]

I mean if u get js reject u prob will get hrt reject

[sinful locust]

I didnt do OA, recruiter reached out

gave me phone

[placid tapir]

i have been resume rejected from bloomberg, microsoft, figma, stubhub, databricks

[marsh saddle]

Cit oa not bad

[uneven sand]

[kindred tundra]

how difficult is js final swe

[uneven sand]

cit phone easy af

[placid tapir]

i have a final with like half of the quant firms in existence scheduled tho

[marsh saddle]

Alr reject from msft wtf

[sinful locust]

yeah it doesnt guarantee you much, I think cit is more valuable tho

[marsh saddle]

No its hard

[sinful locust]

@plain egret's getting better stuff than I am

[placid tapir]

it's hella random

[sinful locust]

but also hes 1000x smarter

[marsh saddle]

Optiver is auto

[sinful locust]

[placid tapir]

i wont have a job

[marsh saddle]

Bro most people would rather work at quant than tech

Higher pay

[placid tapir]

yeah but you ahve to realize qunat firms arent guarnateed

[sinful locust]

tech is so boring

[placid tapir]

it's very possible id ont get into any of them

quant is very boring

lol dont lie

[sinful locust]

it is

[placid tapir]

tech is more interesting

[marsh saddle]

Both are boring

[sinful locust]

theyre all boring

swe is boring in general

[placid tapir]

tech was ok, i did sytem design for a living

that was kinda fun

[sinful locust]

do math

[placid tapir]

and it was more chill, less hours

[marsh saddle]

School and work boring asf

[sinful locust]

life is boring

big deal

[ripe slate]

no way quant can be more boring than my tech internships

[sinful locust]

no way quant can be more boring than my quant internship

[placid tapir]

ur role proejcts seemed a lot more fun

[uneven sand]

n3 how was amazon

[placid tapir]

n3's the CTO of rentech

[sinful locust]

no thats simpryaser

does sig blacklist

@zealous trail hows akuna

stop

yes

am curious

no one seems to know

it’s good apaorently

for QT

like pretty good

it’s doable for sure

[uneven sand]

no bc they retire at 27

[sinful locust]

lol

[sinful locust]

tru

but typical idk about thay

[sinful locust]

hi

leballer

[uneven sand]

lebum

[sinful locust]

i gotta be up at le3:30

😔

[uneven sand]

lewhy

[sinful locust]

on-site for leOKC

swe internship

[ripe slate]

for c++ python and qdev combined?

[sinful locust]

for QR + QT

[sinful locust]

and data tooling and data infra and ml ?

so many dev teams

[sinful locust]

stop

[uneven sand]

also what if some guy was shit and did no work

[sinful locust]

they need a ligament healer intern

go to sleep

prosthetic foot intern

baller was the only UI intern for akuna btw

LMAO

lechet

i think OKC will flip

yeah he got the offer

flop

yeha he got offer

stop

[uneven sand]

chet couldn't even handle a 37 year old lebron drive at 30%

[sinful locust]

better than their full time pay

ask baller

he got in for UI

[uneven sand]

ft pay doesn't seem any better than faang

[sinful locust]

they only hire one intern

yeah akuna ft seems pretty shit

but good intern pay

no

[sinful locust]

would u work at three cents

nego but 65 starting i think

do people go from akuna to better quant firms

probably, why?

seems like yahkub went back to tech after

[ripe slate]

akuna intern -> every other firm is biggest pipeline in quant

[sinful locust]

well palantir is good

2nd tier

[sinful locust]

oh shit didnt realize that

[uneven sand]

just sort by pay

[sinful locust]

Rentech > JS HRT > CIT > others > akuna

well there are the unknown ones

tgs

pdt

levels is wrong lmao

for lots of things

is it

like sig swe is bad but

sig trader is very good

levels probably doesnt reflect that

i think they have a trader filter now or smth

mfw deepmind is the best quant firm

[sinful locust]

Deepmind > all quant

LOL

mfw google == js

this is from blind

[uneven sand]

google > hrt confirmed

[sinful locust]

rigby is legend

right has good perception

turn on dms to get some perspective

he does not indulge in drugs

I have dms off

lol

why

tho

makes no sense

[uneven sand]

https://prestigehunt.com

[sinful locust]

yahkub

how was chicago tho

did u enjoy interning there

IBM wtf

im pretty sure akuna might actually pay interns more than their full timers

[sinful locust]

doubt

66 -> 136k ft

[sinful locust]

if you factor in bonuses and over the time period

it could happen

nice

interns dont get great bonuses accordint to levels but its probably wrong so idk

its not imc with like 20k signon

oh nvm then

[sinful locust]

a lot of those arent real

google x or brain and facebook AI research

like 2s was reported to have 10k sign on + 7500 bonus last year

that was complete bs

X recruiters arre great

NOW

imc and drw mostly for practice, optiver i might actually consider

LOL

thing is 2s full time doesnt seem great in terms of progression from what i see on levels

also 2s didnt increase intern salary by much but the others mightve

tbh if you want good pay and great wlb 2s seems top notch

so I figured I should go try

WIPE

now

no I meant for return this year, theyre paying less than that as a bonus

so theres no shot they gave 10k less this year than last year

lol

10k is crazy bonus

my recruiter also told me they didnt do a sign on bonus last year

he said they did just a completion bonus, this year its just a sign on

so what are IMC real bonus

maybe one guy negotiated that bonus

[sinful locust]

theyre still paying u in fall right

but I would be surprised if theyre giving 20k to everyone

[sinful locust]

what

[ripe slate]

imc seems pretty similar in wlb to 2s but not sure how much better they pay

[sinful locust]

didnt u say something abt non compete

[sinful locust]

that only applies if I get another offer and they prevent me from working

ah

[sinful locust]

i heard they pay 700k

bruh stop

[quaint bolt]

IMC gives that bonus if you have competing offers iirc

[past comet]

no its cisco

[sinful locust]

if anyone knows deepmind tc that would be very cool

[uneven sand]

cisco is #2 in my book

[sinful locust]

yeah I think thats where a lot of the numbers on levels about bonuses become bs

[uneven sand]

then SAP

[sinful locust]

20k sign on

baller tell @hearty river yo stop lurking

@fringe pumice

HES LURKING

[quaint bolt]

A friend of a friend had Akuna offer and they told IMC that and they were like "we'll give you 20k if you sign rn"

[uneven sand]

[elfin peak]

Do you have any linkedin recruiter emails tho?

[uneven sand]

no

just their linkedin profile

i remember one of the recruiters that made the intern job post

[jaunty cove]

Goid point!

[sick oar]

not a ton of leetcode, they care about emotional intelligence a lot, very very selective (10 NG this year??)

i think so

actually probably 25

my friend who's ng there said there's like 20 people in sf and 4 or 5 in nyc

[hallow scroll]

Yes

[sick oar]

oh interesting

maybe ill use cpp then

i used to do lc in only cpp lol

i only recently switched to python

did you get the followup?

oh shit

i suck at math lol

the one where you have points on a grid and you count number of squares you can make?
