[uneven sand]

actually sentry seems interesting but idk what convoy does

[sinful locust]

Wtf I was asked to schedule Optiver phone screen a week ago

[spark hearth]

same

[sinful locust]

The email was in my spam

[spark hearth]

I have databricks, sentry, roblox, optiver, oracle next week

[sinful locust]

Optiver isn’t worth it, I ain’t learning system design for Optiver

[uneven sand]

damn

wait you're still doing optiver?

[sinful locust]

Man’s scheduled his recrutier phone a month later

[spark hearth]

I'm just gonna fail optiver

[sinful locust]

What about duolingo

[uneven sand]

is that where gordon ramsey works

[sinful locust]

Why, isn’t 2s > Roblox

[spark hearth]

bruh i would take this deal 😭

[sinful locust]

Me too

[spark hearth]

same

[sinful locust]

I still play roblox

[uneven sand]

doesn't roblox use c#

cursed tech stack

[spark hearth]

lua

[uneven sand]

no that's for roblox creators

[sinful locust]

Luca is for game

[uneven sand]

im talking about roblox as the company

[sinful locust]

Luca Labu

[uneven sand]

:cap:

[spark hearth]

roblox is a gaming platform

Krishna why

[uneven sand]

ill trade citadel final for roblox final

[sinful locust]

Why

[spark hearth]

hail no

[uneven sand]

bc im failing citadel final anyway 💀

[sinful locust]

I can’t even schedule the phone, it says no times are available wtf

[spark hearth]

I'll trade for cit offer tho

[spark hearth]

no ur not

[ionic wasp]

How to prepare for phone?

[spark hearth]

I'm a prophet

what kid of phoe

[uneven sand]

lol they're going to see that im not at a target school and reject me

[ionic wasp]

Citadel

[uneven sand]

cit phone is fairly straight forward but can be rng

[spark hearth]

u have to design a light bulb for cit phone

[ionic wasp]

My rng sucks

[uneven sand]

my cit phone was technical discussion about resume + standard lc medium

[spark hearth]

lc easy

[ionic wasp]

Dang only lc medium?

[sinful locust]

It was Lc easy

[ionic wasp]

I thought they'd ask leetcode megahard

[sinful locust]

It was check if string was a palindrome

[uneven sand]

it wasn't that lol

[sinful locust]

2 pointer

[uneven sand]

it's a lc medium but it's one that most people have probably done

[ionic wasp]

2 sum bro

[sinful locust]

3sum

[uneven sand]

5sum

[spark hearth]

10sum

gangbang

[uneven sand]

tf

[sinful locust]

Can I have ur citadel offer

[spark hearth]

Can I have ur citadel offer

[uneven sand]

can i have ur citadel offer

you're smart so you can just do my final

[spark hearth]

canu show me ur tesume

what js subset sum m

?

[ionic wasp]

I dont think thats true

[spark hearth]

thats so hard wtf

can u tell me the soln

[ionic wasp]

Whats the big oh for k-sum?

N-sum

[spark hearth]

can u tell me the solution??

[ionic wasp]

CAnt you just use n-1 loops??

For k sum not subset

But n + n^2 + .. + n^k isnt exponential

So if u run k sum for k = 2 ... n, it's still poly time

Yah i dont think its correct to solve subset sum with k sum

My b im tiny brained

[uneven sand]

subset sums to k is just dp

same with k size subset

just add an extra dp dimension

[spark hearth]

yes that is wasting time

[sinful locust]

Lmfaoo same

[spark hearth]

what's thr soln? can u send screenshot here

send it now

[queen raven]

but ill fail google too

[spark hearth]

google 👻

[uneven sand]

google winter is fucked

so they might not even interview for it lol

[sinful locust]

Just wait for summer

[spark hearth]

no

I'm doing roblox summer

databricks winter

and then google fall

[sinful locust]

Wrf

Forever intern

Databricks doesn’t allow remote so I can’t do it during winter

[obsidian olive]

how was databricks OA

mines due on the 29th

[sinful locust]

Codesignal

[fleet tulip]

Whomst

[uneven sand]

is that you?

[fleet tulip]

Was that

[spark hearth]

😦

stop

srsly

[spark hearth]

what's so funny

You know berry irl?

[uneven sand]

[spark hearth]

and u know what they do in Alabama 😏

[sinful locust]

Are you guys step brothers

😏

[spark hearth]

thank you but I'm dumb

[uneven sand]

but you have databricks and roblox

[sinful locust]

Offers

[spark hearth]

yeah I just made up stuff on my resume though

[sinful locust]

What even is databricks

[spark hearth]

half the things I didn't even do

but I think I can explain it when they ask abt it

[uneven sand]

the only big tech company interview i've gotten so far is amazon

[sinful locust]

U have sentry

And citadel

[uneven sand]

citadel is a joke

[spark hearth]

tbh

[uneven sand]

im there to provide entertainment when i fail

[spark hearth]

I failed citadel screen

lol

[uneven sand]

im really hoping i can get one of drw or citadel

[spark hearth]

ur studying 8 hrs a day

for citadel

[uneven sand]

nah lol

[sinful locust]

What about Akuna

[uneven sand]

i did jack shit today

[spark hearth]

u alr went thru u waterloo's system programming and concurrency course

[uneven sand]

akuna would be nice ig

[sinful locust]

Dam

[spark hearth]

the whole thing

[uneven sand]

but id prefer drw and citadel

[spark hearth]

u have yahkuna

[uneven sand]

no

[spark hearth]

what is ucr

[uneven sand]

i've only gone through the first 6 lectures

[spark hearth]

vexor needs it

[crisp berry]

bro i got bit manipulation on an oa

its actually fucked

[uneven sand]

bit manipulation is << >> & | ^ ~

[crisp berry]

thanks

[spark hearth]

yeah

np

[crisp berry]

it was like bit manip + dp

i gotta practice more i guess

[spark hearth]

^~^

wtf dp

[crisp berry]

stfu

[spark hearth]

what company

u stfu

[crisp berry]

i thought u were making fun of me

its some unicorn startup

[spark hearth]

I wanna apply

[crisp berry]

apps closed

[spark hearth]

😭

[crisp berry]

i went to read the posting after i got the oa invite

but it was gone

the question was

[spark hearth]

just u

is it just me or is dp free

[crisp berry]

find all distinct goodness values across all strictly increasing subsequences of an array, where the goodness value of a subsequence is the bitwise or of all the elements

[uneven sand]

drw ghost stings :(

[crisp berry]

i tried to do backtrack

and check every subseqence

but it was too slow

[uneven sand]

wtf is that problem

[spark hearth]

wtf is that problem

[crisp berry]

that was the problem i had to do

[sinful locust]

Send resume

[crisp berry]

for the startup

does anyone know optimal sol

[spark hearth]

don't u just keep a running bitwise or

for all increasing subsequence

[crisp berry]

yeah with backtrack, thats what i tried

[uneven sand]

are the subsequences contiguous

[spark hearth]

but that prolly isn't optimal

[crisp berry]

no

[spark hearth]

lol

[crisp berry]

[1, 3, 5, 6] in this array [1, 6] can be a subsequence

[uneven sand]

how are you generating all those subsequences tho

[crisp berry]

just backtrack

[spark hearth]

take and skip

[crisp berry]

but its too slow

like i said

yeah

exactly

[spark hearth]

backtrack

[crisp berry]

i should have saved my solution

[uneven sand]

that's 2^n

[spark hearth]

keep running bitwise or value

yeah

[crisp berry]

yeah its 2^n

[spark hearth]

it's too slow

[crisp berry]

u keep the last value and the running bitwise

but it passes 5/15 test cases lol

[spark hearth]

lol

[crisp berry]

it def is

unless hackerrank is fucked

[spark hearth]

if woahhh can't do it, no one can

[crisp berry]

yeah

well

[spark hearth]

proper pruning

[crisp berry]

wdym proper pruning

[spark hearth]

I like prunes

[crisp berry]

i think my pruning was proper

[spark hearth]

u think but do u know

[uneven sand]

im sure we can do something with the fact that if we choose an element, all of its 1 bits can't be changed back to 0 in the goodness value

[crisp berry]

i agree

https://leetcode.com/problems/bitwise-ors-of-subarrays/

[spark hearth]

i agree

[crisp berry]

i guess its similar to this

tho this one is contiguous

[spark hearth]

ru sure u didn't read the problem wrong

[crisp berry]

i am sure

[spark hearth]

TAs do be blind sometimes

[crisp berry]

bitwise or

[spark hearth]

oh or

[crisp berry]

wdym TA

[spark hearth]

ru a TA?

[crisp berry]

no

why

[spark hearth]

oh then nvm

don't worry bout it

[crisp berry]

i can never tell if kyo is trolling

[spark hearth]

wtf woahhh is too cracked

[crisp berry]

how to get as good as u

i am depressed now

failing oa sucks

[spark hearth]

show solution

[crisp berry]

i just got asked a harder problem than that

scroll up

[spark hearth]

lol

[crisp berry]

maybe they can pass me anyway

[spark hearth]

it was for oa

[crisp berry]

[spark hearth]

same

I have intervkew at 8am

[crisp berry]

surely the other candidates wont solve it either

[spark hearth]

and it's 3am

[crisp berry]

i think it was just hackerrank question bank tho

idk if they choose the q or not

idk how it owrks

[spark hearth]

was it from snowflake

[crisp berry]

no

some unicorn in Norway

i live in Canada first of all

second of all im down bad for non auto oas rn

[valid socket]

i need help

with an algo

[spark hearth]

hey joey

I see u in ur pfp

[valid socket]

i have a tree

and i have the id of a leaf node

how do i generate the root to leaf path

hmm

[crisp berry]

oh i think i know what company this is

wait

[valid socket]

?

[crisp berry]

was this an interview question

[valid socket]

no

[crisp berry]

nvm

[spark hearth]

dfs

[valid socket]

this is irl code

yea

[uneven sand]

can you go from leaf -> root and reverse the path

[valid socket]

let me see if i can wing it

[spark hearth]

is it just a normal tree?

[valid socket]

no

well yea

not binar

y

[crisp berry]

dont you just dfs

[valid socket]

yes

[spark hearth]

yeah just dfs

easy

[crisp berry]

and compare the leaf

[spark hearth]

easy pz

[valid socket]

ok i was expecting foru guys

to generate the code for me

[spark hearth]

lol

[crisp berry]

[spark hearth]

[uneven sand]

from algorithms import dfs
dfs(tree)

[crisp berry]

why cnt iget asked that

instead of bit subsequence shit

im upset

[spark hearth]

lol

u can keep a running path

to get the path

[uneven sand]

keeping a running path is so wasteful

[spark hearth]

then what do u do

[uneven sand]

O(n^2) memory

[crisp berry]

if Woahhh cant solve it there's literally no hope

wtf

i swear i didnt read the question wrong

[uneven sand]

for each node, you just need to know what its parent is

the path is unique

[crisp berry]

yes

all distinct ORs

rather

[uneven sand]

yea that problem is actually so wack

watch me get it in cit final bc the interviewer is a sadist

[crisp berry]

it sucks cuz i thought that company was really cool

i just go next ig

[ashen portal]

Huh I read the problem and didnt think I saw this condition?

[crisp berry]

wdym

[spark hearth]

?

[crisp berry]

have u done the problem before?

[ashen portal]

The lc problem posted above

[crisp berry]

its not the one i linked

no

[ashen portal]

Ohh

[crisp berry]

i linked a related problem

[spark hearth]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-confused-math-gif-26401710

[ashen portal]

Is the real problem that one with the additional constraint?

[crisp berry]

the real problem is: the goodness value of a subsequence is the bitwise or of all its elements, find all distinct goodness values across all strictly increasing subsequences of an array

[ashen portal]

Subsequences huh, that sounds tough af

Bored

[ashen portal]

Any particular constraints so I know what complexity we should be aiming for?

[crisp berry]

i dont remember the constraints on input

but 2^n backtracking solution was too slow

[crisp berry]

if u solve this i love you

[ashen portal]

Do you remember the maximum of the numbers?

[crisp berry]

oh wai

i think 0 <= arr[i] <= 1024

iirc

@ashen portal

[ashen portal]

Oh 1024

[grand wyvern]

Hey guys I need for your help now. Do you know where I could find amazon interview questions from last 6 months?

[ashen portal]

Alrighty

There’s a N^2 * 1024 solution I got

[crisp berry]

can i see

N^2 * 1024 should be fast enough i think

bc thats N^2

[valid socket]

im a fukin god yo

i still got it

[ashen portal]

it’s mainly f(i, j) as if it’s possible for a strictly increasing subseq ending at arr(i) to have the OR value of j

Then you transition the states to all arr(k) > arr(i)

So if f(i, j) is true then f(k, j | arr(k)) is true

[grand wyvern]

Thanks, is it matter am I applying for internship position or full-time? I mean questions will be similar for everyone?

[crisp berry]

so i dont think this is O(1024 * N^2)

[ashen portal]

Yeah thats about my solution. At the end you check for each value j from 0 to 1024 to see if there is any i such that f(i, j) is true

Why not?

[crisp berry]

wait

actually

i think it works

holy

how to be as smart as u

i guess i was just thinking of backtracking instead of dp and that was my mistake

but i also didnt think to base it around the input parameters

[valid socket]

nvm my algo is broke

gg

[crisp berry]

even then, if u ignore input param its just max(arr) * N^2 which is still gonna be faster than 2^N usually

damn

ok i gotta practice more dp

[ashen portal]

I mean mostly but its still not gonna work if max(arr) is 1 billion lol

For HFT what do you guys think a good second major is?

Cs

Dunno if Loo’s a target

[crisp berry]

i think we are

a lot of quants come from loo

in jane street i thin

[ashen portal]

Math or stats, I see

Have been taking econ classes but I think I went about it the wrong way

God save us

[crisp berry]

actually i found this one easy

[ashen portal]

It looks annoying

[crisp berry]

i think cuz im used to doing the parsing rule things from assignments

for compiler and stuff

[ashen portal]

Nah Imma just write spaghetti code to get it over with

No way Im making a state machine

[jaunty cove]

i applied to hrt and selected C++ but i did the codesignal in python am i fucked

fuck dude

[ashen portal]

Why are you still awake lmao

[jaunty cove]

!process HRT wrong language on codesignal

[final forum]

You can only use this command in 2022_winter_intern_process, 2022_summer_intern_process, 2022_grad_process, 2022_fall_intern_process, 2023_summer_intern_process, 2023_winter_intern_process, 2023_grad_process

[mighty path]

I am so rusty tho ;-;

[opal kiln]

It’s for FDSE so maybe they will be forgiving

[opal kiln]

[mighty path]

yes

[sinful locust]

bruh

who are you

[mighty path]

last min tips do all blind75

Have u done karat before

Idek what to expect

[opal kiln]

nah, first time

[opal kiln]

what's that

[mighty path]

I’m gonna get 0 points in karat and look like a bot

[hardy patrol]

this man not going to survive

[opal kiln]

I did competitive programming in hs

[mighty path]

I know 3sum. Nothing more, nothing less

[opal kiln]

so I think I am going to survive

[hardy patrol]

[opal kiln]

👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨

[mighty path]

[hardy patrol]

anyone know how hard amazon oa is im going to apply now and study till i hear back

heard its two meds

[astral dew]

I think rng

[stone echo]

[hardy patrol]

praying my luck holds up

[late terrace]

its easy

fucking workstyle questions are harder

[sinful locust]

really?

elaborate please

https://www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/careers/jobs?type=Intern&country=United States&page=1

Go work for fortnite

[ashen portal]

yo what does proctored codesignal do?

[ashen portal]

what's the proctoring like?

[sinful locust]

mfs tryna cheat?

[ashen portal]

bruh what

Im just askin' to know

[ashen portal]

k, I see

so that means no looking stuff up on my ipad lmao

oof

does it record the whole screen or only the in-browser IDE?

mm, so I'm supposed to give it permission to do that

yeah makes sense

meh, alright, just want to know what kinda access I would need to give 'em

time to retake codesignal cuz my last one was unproctored 😭

[late terrace]

damn do u guys actually cheat on oas

[sinful locust]

@uneven sand u got technical interview with convoy?

[mighty path]

ok interview done

Bruh I solved 2 question but hella unoptimally

[coarse vigil]

L

[mighty path]

Idk if that passes the bar for karat tbh

[ivory ocean]

No

Because OAs are infinitely easier than the interview at any company

So if you genuinely can’t solve their OA, you’re fucked regardless

Thus cheating is idiotic

[bold barn]

anyone do datadog OA yet?

[mighty path]

palantir karat complete

solved 2 questions, probably hella unoptimally, but they were solved nonetheless

[sinful locust]

good shit

[shadow shard]

when quant firms ask u "why us" wtf are u supposed to say

well if they do then what

[soft mist]

big lie tho

[mighty path]

i was partly guessing about complexity cuz i was spamming string joins in python lol

[soft mist]

its def not interesting at all

[sick oar]

they don’t ask for it

[white zinc]

can someone send the new block codesignal link

or is it pinned somewhere

[soft mist]

nah like tradign work is on another level of drag

[sick oar]

jane street ik doesn’t ask any behavioral lmao

[soft mist]

at least at cit

moving config files, doing some networking things, writing tests, or profiling
or tuning parameters

these are all you do at traading firms

for what youre most likely given

nah im going to bloomberg

they come to career fair right

im gonna renege all trading processes for bbg

no

cuz i wont be working at all

thats the point

better than writing tests and config files

also you dont even need to go to the office at bloomberg

same thing

dipping after 1-2 years max

99.9% of trading work is hard, boring and tedious

and not at all interesting

thats why im not going back for sure

[sinful locust]

some do

[sick oar]

hm

[sinful locust]

belvedere asked

akuna asked

ml

lmao

[mighty path]

is karat final round of palantir or what

idk what comes after

[spark hearth]

there are technicals

[mighty path]

this is for fdse tho

fdse not swe

i didnt have an oa or phone screen

karat was first thing i got

damn

[sinful locust]

why is their process so long wtf

[mighty path]

damn im not even close to done with palantir thats so feels bad

i dont wanna solve more questions breuh

[sinful locust]

sounds like u just got started

[blissful elm]

Whats average response time for Microsoft after applying ?

[unreal pollen]

is databricks automated?

[gloomy oar]

ya codesignal is

[blissful elm]

yeah ik but just saying for like those who heard back 🙂

[slim breach]

but you get paid so much!! /s

[soft mist]

were u at a trading firm before?

[sudden mountain]

Anyone did the google phone?

[soft mist]

also yea i agree youre getting paid a lot to deal with all that i mentioned avove

[sudden mountain]

Just got mine scheduled and was wondering what kind of questions to expect?

[slim breach]

nah, just making a joke haha

[soft mist]

above

[slim breach]

i agree with you that it's not worth it in many cases

[soft mist]

ye im going back to tech

[slim breach]

not that i can pass trading interviews in the first place, i've just heard a similar sentiment from friends

[soft mist]

😢

it basically just depends on how desperate you are for money

[pseudo orbit]

is bytedance oa auto?

[soft mist]

youre just cracked

[violet willow]

Anyone in lyft eta not receive the byteboard from recruiter yet?

[brazen ember]

How is the gap OA?

[cobalt pagoda]

anybody know about intuit OA and interview process and difficulty level for SWE internship?

[pulsar quarry]

How is datadog process + oa difficulty?

jesus

[sick oar]

did you get oa alr?

[tardy ridge]

you guys think i should send my c1 recruiter a follow up email, im like actually so anxious even tho its only been 1 day lol

[jaunty cove]

its been a week for me

[tardy ridge]

oh ur still waiting?

why not follow up, 1 week is like actually a long time

[blissful elm]

nah

its gonna make you look desperate lmao

just give it soem time

[tardy ridge]

its not scheduled

i just got the questionnaire

[blissful elm]

just wait then

[tardy ridge]

oh ok well my interview date would be 10/26

...

yeah

i just wanna know if its confirmed or not tho

i heard lot of people get ghosted by c1 recruiters due to how many people are applying rn

[jaunty cove]

if u got ghosted then following up wont do anything

[tardy ridge]

i mean ghosted/no response after the questionnaire

[old fog]

anybody gave mathworks phone round?

[blissful elm]

you could reach out

after a week

[tardy ridge]

ok ig ill do that

[blissful elm]

but if you dont get ar esponse best to just move on

[tardy ridge]

yea

[blissful elm]

always treat it as a rejection

so its less painful

🙂

T_T

[tardy ridge]

😦

[blissful elm]

you got this good luck !

[tardy ridge]

lol thanks

i hate job recruiting season

[blissful elm]

you only need one

[naive kayak]

can we switch tabs for the amazon OA?

[static spindle]

depends on where youre tryna apply lol

huge companies probably yes

not as huge companies and capital one probably no

[sinful locust]

is it normal for amazon to take forever to confirm a final

[mighty path]

it took me 7 months to get an OA from amzon

[tardy ridge]

Tf

When you apply?

[ashen portal]

7 what?

[coarse vigil]

how is the data dog OA

[mighty path]

this was last cycle

i applied early august didnt hear back until late march/early april

[tardy ridge]

How did it end up going

[mighty path]

well I interned there

[tardy ridge]

Oh dam nice

So it ended up working out lol

[jaunty cove]

thats crzy

[mighty path]

ye lol

it is what it is

[opal ocean]

how’s the gusto OA

[stone echo]

[hardy patrol]

why do you guys always delete your messages lmao

[safe grove]

I'm not sweating too much, my recruiter is out of office and I was supposed to get a different recruiter but I think it didn't actually happen

[hardy patrol]

i got a 668 on the codesignal so i dont think im getting powerday but reddit was like yea youll be fine

[soft basin]

did u not get email from a diff recruiter?

[safe grove]

No

[soft basin]

i got an email from a diff recruiter

[hardy patrol]

if their hiring bar is this low im both happy and nervous

[safe grove]

They told me that would happen but it didn't actually happen

[soft basin]

hmm they must be very backed up idk

its a very low bar

c1 is also my backup plan

[safe grove]

Yeah I think they're backed up since I feel fairly confident in my interview performance

[hardy patrol]

how many people do they hire

like 6k?

[safe grove]

Last year tech interns at C1 was like 700 I think

[hardy patrol]

no way its 1k

shiet

[soft basin]

[stone echo]

[jaunty cove]

bezos

personal training

[hardy patrol]

bezos himself in the computer lab helping me debug print("hello world")

[jaunty cove]

would any faang ceo pass two sum

my bets are on the google dude

[hardy patrol]

no way they would i dont think they even code

i heard you do less coding the higher up the ladder you climb

[wooden shard]

did audible or twitch start their processes yet?

[crisp berry]

the ones who were previously engineers would

[sudden knot]

no

[crisp berry]

so yeah the google dude probably

i think bezos did programming when he started but he's also not ceo anymore

i dont think tim cook can code

zuckerburg can probably do it

no idea who netflix ceo is

[astral dew]

Guilty

[jaunty cove]

[crisp berry]

i heard you do less coding the higher up the ladder you climb

[hardy patrol]

LMAOOO

[dense tinsel]

so um

I'm going into 10th grade this year, next year I have a possible ML/AI internship lined up at my local university, UMD (University of Maryland). My friend is currently doing the internship right now, I have a few questions.

1. Does his referral for an internship matter given that it's obvious he's my friend and he's probably biased?
2. Is cold emailing the professor I plan to do the internship under the best way to reach out to him, or should my friend introduce me to him irl?
3. Making a LinkedIn at 14 is fishy, but is it worth it? Would that show more credibility for applying to the internship?

[white zinc]

[jaunty cove]

Youre too old

i think u should give up

[dense tinsel]

???

[safe minnow]

Damn that’s pretty late

[dense tinsel]

idk any leetcode problems, should I start doing DSA stuff?

I'd rather not lol

It's not necessary for the internship

[noble ore]

if u weren't leetcoding in the womb you're a failure

[jaunty cove]

a potential referral is not an internship lined up

[dense tinsel]

I do pushups and workout every day buddy

why would i do pushups on hot pavement

i sometimes run in the morning

6 am once but that was too early

[dense tinsel]

yeah I hope to increase my skills further to take on a more active role

and increase my chances of landing the internship

[safe minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/epic-embed-success-epic-embed-epic-embed-win-epic-embed-victory-embed-win-gif-23313032

[dense tinsel]

a good relationship with the professor is key right?

get to know him as a person before a job seeking guy?

[safe minnow]

Wait, are you allowed to work at 14 in Maryland

[dense tinsel]

it's a university internship, and yes, it's fine

[quaint bolt]

Ayo? 14?

Wagwan

[dense tinsel]

I do know someone who's going into freshman and has a shopify internship, but he's not doing ML/Ai

more of a backend guy with typescript so no referrals there

https://tenor.com/view/dies-of-cringe-cringe-gif-20747133
