alexander wang didnt spend his summer on discord asking ppl for advice
i play tennis
i workout and go outside every single evening
and break up with ur ekitten and get a real gf
fr advice, its okay to focus a lot on internships and ur work, but also make u dont regret not spending time on "fun" stuff later in life
i do have fun stuff bro
thats what im saying
omfg
stop talking on here and grind leetcode and prtojects and hackathons
bruh
if we knew an easy way for how you could become the next ceo of a $7 billion company we would be doing it ourselves
steal his soul duh
anyway
dropping in to say that putting your age in your discord bio or otherwise is kind of a bad idea when you're a minor, there are some pretty creepy adults on the internet
yea I am only 40
age is just a number
can someone help me with points 2 and 3?
imo
yes
yay
how many artificial intelligences have you made?
leetcode projects and hackathons
to you maybe, but to the creeps on the internet it can be an invitation for much much worse
is all u need
Taking 4 APs this year, 4.0 gpa
I was kidding
lmao
this mans already more cracked than everyone here
this is how ull end up earning poverty wages
its very good
linkedin at 14 isn't fishy, plenty of kids from my old high school have sent me connect requests, but again make sure to not reveal way too much and/or use the privacy features
yup, for sure
ur clout has alr spread too much
im taking calculus 2 since im 4 grades ahead in math 
fite me mr anime kid
kid you have a matching pfp
u deadass cant be talking
and u dont
this is crazy
ok can we all relax krishna and ash u guys arent helping anything
eh you can send an email first and be like "friend introduced me" then see if you can meet him irl & then you'll be past the basic intro stuff at that point and can discuss things further
if u dont wanna actually help me just dont bother to talk to me
Ah, noted thanks
bro get off this server and do what i said 
says the one who started it 
@wet summit Is a referral from my friend deadweight since he's also just an intern?
And my friend at that so he can seem biased?
nope the referral will still count for something
or this
it wont harm u
okay great
also most referrals are inherently biased towards people you know & think are good so don't ever worry about that 
cmon bro no need to put others down
Professors check github or no
yep
ik recruiters wont?
no they dont care
only projects not ur commit historyu
most dont
depends but at your age? probably not
recruiters for jobs do look at the projects though
ok
my github only has stars from me 
ur cringe bro, you have ml ai aficionado in your bio before finishing high shcool math. just chill
just a fyi most profs gonna see u are a hser and then send u an email template
or not bother looking at the rest of it
dont diss other people
personal exp
im done with high school math?
aficionado just means im passionate about it

isnt ap technically university?
yeah lol
technically should be but they're still different
yea but so many people take calc bc in high school these days
Everyone takes ap calc
ic
and i might just go to university next year so that argument will be invalid
fair fair
bruh
ap calc is high school levle
brother in christ plz gradutate
everyone takes it
the grading is less rigorous for ap calc
anyone have a good vid on writing a professional email?
Ive written one or two but they aren't amazing
@dense tinsel as a highschooler here if I was in ur position this is what I would do
or guide or tips
you can learn a lot about networking and being nice to people, it would get you a lot farther. ima go study
take amc
definitely gonna focus on that for sure
if ur that far ahead
r u in hs?
yeah
- keep up ur gpa u are alr doing that so yea
- do competitive programming / comp math
- extracurriculars like sports
- do internships in grade 12 like cssi
well you have 4 years so
just get into a good school
@jaunty cove unfortunately the only way I can network right now is Discord tbh, cold emailing i guess, but it definitely is a huge factor for sure in getting a job
focus on internships later once u get into a good school
u have to adapt to it
bro show ur resume first
yea in grade 12 do cssi
yea research is good now but you will be much much more fruitful in your internship search in college
look for more HS related stuff right now
cssi doesnt even matter like no big deal if u dont do it
cssi -> amazon freshman pipeline is real
@median tundraptylyu
just get good school most important if ur in hs
There's this Harvard ML research thing for highschoolers that I have some online connections with ppl who are doing it
will definitely look into it and see if I can do it, colleges would love that for sure
bro just do RSI
send link
u think he can get into rsi with no usaco/aime/usamo or worhy projects?
I am tryna do good in school year this year otherwise imma set myself up for failure
has hrt gone past oas for summer intern?
no but he can just git gud
sick
precollege programs r scams
lol i cant get into RSI
if we go by acceptance rates, RSI is easier to get into than google
I just do stuff for fun
well yeah but tons of ppl who apply to google cant do fizzbuzz
MITES is good too
I am not a us greencard holder or a citizen tho
greencard soon hopefully
i can do fizzbuzz for int i : nums if(i == 3) print fizz if(i == 5) print buzz if i == 6 print fizz if i == 8 print buzz if i == 15 print fizzbuzz
how many lc did you do to get greencard
not having greencard or citizenship in canada / us really took away most of my opps from me
primes
gpa and uni?
:3

t40 is easy
I wish I could restart
t20 is harf
my gpa is low af for cs
unless its uw madison
my "dream" uni is CMU but that's dificult to pull off
bar is shitter
@hliuser
my school sends ~15 students there a yera but its super competitive
๐ค
so i try to "match" the courseload of the top kids
hence taking 4 aps
even if i dont love to haha
4 as a sophomore?
my best bet to go into a good university is go to university of waterloo or university of toronto
i went to t50(?) and now work at a company that only took 30 new grads out of thousands of applicants 
yeah
4 as a soph isn't that bad
thats a low bar
to ask for help about a potential internship lol
Why not US
i took 6 aps as a sophomore wouldnt recommend
hrter slapping neclor
my freshman year gpa was ~3.25
trauma so bad mans lost his name
my sophomore year gpa is like 3.6 or 3.7
none of them did anything
u can still try for decent state schools
not good for a2c chanceme etc
and?
like idk umd
I dont want decent state schools
I know I dont have much of a choice
oh
i have hobbies friends a girl and a life
I could do good in grade 11 and 12
but programming is main thing
and then go to uw or uoft in canada
so im here to ask for advice on the internship
do u wanna do resaerch tho
just apply locally
@soft mist 14 yr old version of us
yea I got ghosted lol
so then uw
man when I was 14 I was like
uoft is mainly research, they have ASIP for coop tho
bro u are 14
playing fortnite
16 ๐ญ
me too lol
wtf whend u age
at 14 i played cod and like csgo for like 6 hours a day
1 year ago
just interview in assembly ez
t20?
tf u on
techncially yes for cs
dang
i do omg
u had high gpa then
wait y not do cp
mariaaaaa
i dont need pay, the experience is the pay
part of life is making these decisions for yourself
never use this abbreviation
she aint the same maria ๐
please
fuckk
someone invite her here
i found her dream man
just work at nasa or some shit
UCs are so competitive these days
yea they are
even midtier uc is so difficult these days so impacted
its ur ECs that seal the deal
Cc kids Cant even guarantee transfer into UC CS i think
aside from internships I have sports
my goal is like 12 APs in highschool, the more the better
however i want all 5s or close to all 5s, even better
wtf?
SOMEONE INVITE MARIA
so theres this pathway where
my goal is like 5 mostly cuz my school doesnt offer AP lol
she would harass me
when u go to college dont be the kid that says "technically im a sophomore brcause i took 50 ap credits"
and tell me to go touch grass
im advanced enough at math that i can take all my courses at UMD next year
and pretty much be a student
shhh
aavveee mariiiiiiiaaaaaa

when there's one opening left and someone posts a linkedin announcement with the same company 
bruh just take it at a cc, why burn money
fr
our high school only lets us take them at UMD
since its like some partnership maybe or something idk
literally it wont matter
when he goes into university no one will see where he did courses from
everyone will just see the university
is it free?
take it at IIT
yup
bros gonna fly to india
then its a W
ill probably take linear algebra, discrete math, and something else next year there
i feel like doing comp math is worth more than taking all these advanced math courses
it helps u think
I did shit in grade 9 and 10
bro these are entry level courses
also no
uw needs more th an 98% lol
uw cs legit defers some ppl with 99.5%
I am in Canada
bros i have a shit ass GPA and have listed 0 courses on my resume and I have only gotten denied once this cycle
cuz shit ECs
I am from california
grades dont mean everything
i didnt take anything seriously until mid g10
yep
a lot of myf amily went to uoft
but i have no interest in a canadian uni
GPA > classes
i visited a week ago
they rejected someone with 99.6%

i got a B in genchem II and it didn't rlly fuck me over but it oculd have
uw cs > mit cs tbh
lOL
imma apply to MIT for memes
and try to be like one of those cs is my life applicant
Curious, for renegging, how do you use it to get a salary that was better than the previous job? You can't really mention the company you're renegging right?
do u have another offer
btw just curious, how do return offers work?
that pays better
do you apply for one or do they give you one if they liked your work?
virtual cpw sucks ass
company gives u an offer at the end of ur internship asking if u wanna return
they give u if they like ur work
So I have one offer and the deadline to accept return is mid september
But I wanna accept it and apply to companies after that
ah i see
But I can't really bring that company up in a convo right? Bc technically renegging is frowned upon right?
i assume profs would do the same
yea
I would accept it
and then renege
at the end of the day its whatevers best for u
if u find a better offer ofc
just lie and tell them u havent decided on that company offer yet
But like I can't say "well this company I'm about to work for is giving me 100k, I would like 120k"
y u gotta tlel them u accepted it
u can try to negotiate
Well I feel like it's assumed I would accept it if it's late into the season
Like what if I'm applying november / december
are u at waterloo?
How would I negotiate if my "upper hand" is gone, I can't mention the previosu company salary tho
no he's at uw
did u alr leave prev company or smth
just say "i have an offer for X"
I am confused
uw meaning ... washington?
university of waterloo
i dont think they care if u accepted or not
alr imma go home
What makes you say that
he said no hes at uw
library is boring
๐
im so confused
o i didnt see
I feel like this is hard... cause what if they asked now if the deadline for acceptance has passed or something, has that come up
I feel like thats not relevant to them, but idk
no
they won't ask that
not their business
how can you do it in 1
nvm
A company I've interviewed with already has asked me about offer deadlines to accept
So I feel like it's valid
3 pass or 2 if ur clever
And if I'm applying november december it's assumed I've already accepted or don't have a job
idk if thats really the case
i donโt think u can do it in 1 pass
yes
guys when is a good time to begin leetcode?
i assume when i start finding positions that requrie a technical interview?
this is a different questio
why??
how were the phones?
how should age affect anything
help me before u wipe messages
nothing hard?
is defaultdict good coding practice
yeah i believe its an outdated system but companies use it so 
Whatโs the Valkyrie trading rep
shit
cp and leetcode is way diff
horible
weird, citadel scheduled another phone interview. I thought their process was phone screen -> final?
probably final
if ur in hs and wanna get into leetcode id say just get into cp instead
more signal after a phone?
i find that surprising
dont finals usually have extra rounds if u need signal
bruh
It was lc and random qs like how many potholes are there in the US or something
i think?
i dont know
yea thats a good way
like if u have offer there cant shit on it
but like
c++ dev god
nah, every single letter matters bro

to those people asking for templates
man if you dont say "really" ur getting rejected
Hmm
the - kinda is off
"-"
not u in particular
im just saying
im joking
@keen pollen thoughts on the oa
@inner kernel do u know the process for sig trader
yakuna negotiates right
too low
going to cap 1 now
I applied to Roblox with alt email but I have a good codesignal score on my primary email. should I give gca once again ?
do candidates ever interview even though the role is filled?
I was told there was one opening left and someone posted their offer on LinkedIn today
@fringe pumice yo
yeah probably this. final's 3x45 but email was to schedule a single 45 min interview
fuck
you guys ever realize the optimal solution to an oa problem you didnt pass all the cases for 5 minutes afterwards
this is so frusterating
the scores expire way sooner than that lol you'll have to retake it
took amazon oa 3 weeks ago and havenโt heard back. Anyone in similar position?
do the codesignal trick
whats the trick ?
13/13 and 8/13 they prob wont pass me
pinned in #2022_summer
Okie
Sup
Whatโs up
Yeah itโs aesthetic
hows classes
taking ML?
@sinful locust thoughts on this username
@versed basin

Hard
idk ml is pretty easy
ah i couldn't find it
classes start in a month
Hardddd

len(biu)
did you get the 2sig offer yet
for amazon how long did you guys wait from oa to final?
no
why dont you want 2s
do you only want js
VIRTU GIVE ME OA
why do you want virtu
it makes me virtuous
virtu hates me
no
@hasty girder @Griffin
virtue ethics
MELVIN
@sinful locust nokker dropped munmun
to take some other professor
nokker why
whyyy
whyy
for people who got rejected from HRT today, when did you apply
waz
hey ma people
munmn was so free
bruh
she was too easy
its only 3.8?
that was a really easy class
i mean its the same stupid papers as the others
rigby loves tino
that are kinda dumb
my ta was the head ta
like its boring as hell
but so are all the ethics classes
she alway sgave me 97
instead of 100
at least she was easy
dont even think he read my stuff, just gave 100s
but I didnt waste useful space
lol
@sinful locust
woah
scary
STOOPPPPPPP
STOPPPP
who invented STOPPPPP
actualy
was it alt
yahkuna I think
maybe alt
hmm
i saw it from yahkuna first
now 100 people say it
I thought alt copied him
Quick Question my folks
alt lies
so live your life
Quick Question my folks
I finished my uber interview not too long ago
What happens when you guys get the Uber Work Visa Assessment?
good song
No, SWE Intern
you should ask people who have interned at uber
most people here havent interned anywhere
he doesnt like uber
ask joey
he worked at uber
u move to final
no idea
arrowstreet paid very well last year
for interns
which means nothing
thats pretty much all I know about them
theyre secretive
@sinful locust did you see the guy who got banned from registration until 2099
arent they in boston
another turn off
yeah they are
no what
bostons probably nice to work, its not too expensive
but I'd probably prefer chicago
yea im jk
yep
nyc goat city
chicago seems like a great deal no cap
but its too expensive
nyc too
chicago is a great balance
yeah
anyway
nyc >> for life
what abt that registered guy
agreed
he used bots to check the classes
and he made it check too often
current student?
nyc cool n shit but i want to see what chicago and seattle has to offer

you guys foolish
you too, shouldnt have taken a shit in codesignal test
ill do it again for amazon oa
thanks
amazon doesnโt use camera for oa btw
rotations per minute
@sinful locust tansan24 at the org fair, should I go
yes
he said stop by
is ur return in miami , do uk
ah
chicago solid
dwayne wade
lakers
is he even there anymore
no
idk what he does anymore
utah jazz minority owner
gross
therse an event?
what event
tf
be in person
whered you hear about it
@late terrace
STOOOOPPPPP
really?

ive heard both terrible but also great shit about chicago
yea
ill be there in person to see it for myself
stop
took me 3 days before getting invited to next round
Do the explore card on leetcode

Ru sure u didnโt accidentally submit this resume?
recruiter ghosts me then posts on linkedin 
wdym "accidently"
And you got OA?? ๐ฑ ๐
worse feeling 
Oh

Now that I landed Microsoft, should I stop with internships and just graduate?
hello boss,
what prev internships did u have
cloud banking company
what's that
why censored
yes
prepare for integer overflow
yup
I ended up having to write exponential by squaring
bruh change your name and pfp. That's just sad 
anyone know what ddog looks for in OA score? I might have fucked up
did decent on 2 LC type problems but i dont know any SQL so that question kinda fucked me
Their process is weird. I got an oa last yr and rejected this yr despite having an internship under my belt ๐คทโโ๏ธ
im still just โapplication submittedโ, should i treat that as a rejection at this point
Idk mine now says, "no longer in consideration".
LinkedIn OA wasnโt as easy as I expected
Yo, I'm dumb so I need a help of fellow CS students who knows Time Complexity
while(d > 0)
d = d / 10;
Time complexity of this snippet is "n/10^k => n = 10^k => k = log_10 (n)" ?!
So is it O(ln n) or am I fucking dumb
LC easy then LC medium?
Oh okay gotcha
yep
so I am dumb ๐
ln n looks right
Yea it's log_10(n)
That's basically the number of digits in an integer
I was taking it today for Palantir
gonna be retaking tomorrow...
I solved 2/3 questions... First one was VEEEERY easy, second one could be solved with either BFS or backtracking (if you are a masochist), and the third one... I ran out of time
but then I realized that it was just bunch of shit thrown together and it could be solved with BFS (fairly easily).... Wanna try get 3/3 tomorrow
karat
I guess karat counts as OA
its easy
if u learned it in school
u just count the loop iterations
it iterates proportional to k times where 10^k = d
log both sides and we see k = log(d)
thats all
they gave me 2 questions on time complexity + 1 algo question in the format (some retard wrote algorithm (explanation of the algo), will it be able to solve the problem?) + 3 coding questions
on each of the coding questions u should analyze Space/Time complexity of your algos
But I WANNA 3/3 mate
I like literally realized where I fucked up at 3rd
like
i tried to book redo and it said your recruiter already passed you
so you cant book it
or something
I booked it Right after I took the test 
O(log_10 n) = O(ln n)
when I was visiting dentist I was constantly thinking about the 3rd problem
yeah all base logs are of the same order
and then I realized how I could solve it
all logarithms are equivalent in big-O
because theyre all scalar multiples of each other
u should have learned this in DSA class tho i think
I did, and I did answer ln(n)
chilling
is palantir oa hard
there is no really OA... it's just Karat
hows difficulty of karat
OA in my understanding is just your usual test where you have some time allocated to you and some problems and you are solving them by starring at the screen as a deer at the headlights.
Karat is basically like a real interview
there is a guy and you explain to him your solution
and then u code it
anyone got tips for the Redfin take home assement?
You need to brush up your graph/tree knowledge
cause I'm at least the second person who got graphs/tree/matrix on their karat interview
how do ppl fill out workday
i feel like im doing something wrong, ive never gotten an interview from a company that uses workday
yea i use simplify
Simplify never works for me on workday
have u ever managed to hear back?
any1 done redfin oa? its on filtered.ai but never heard of it b4

yea fuck workday
chase hasn't answered me from 2021
still waiting

I did pass their OA this year, so maybe they will answer this year tho
sheeeeeesh
u canโt negotiate intern pay for amazon
keep grinding
822 gca is fine for roblox ?
what?
Roblox
i think no
bruhhh
Idk man havenโt gotten anything from Roblox yet
Ever since that email on Monday lol
got Cit Sec auto OA should i bother?
twitch oa input was kinda weird?
like it was easy
but the input was sus
i think they made a mistake
yeahh
yea i printed it out and there was just some weird shit
yeah so like
no clue
i didnt give a shit after a certain point bc i assumed it was a bug on their part
and since it said you only needed 4 i just ended LMAO
so like for the test cases
for each element after the first one they began with a space
hey guys โค๏ธ
yea lol
it was so weird
and each element was wrapped in quotes
Oh yeah twitch was weird
GOKUGATE
There was an easy way to fix it tho
yes
i am pretty sure they fucked up when they inputed the test cases
how do i get my first internship?
cuz there were literal quotes in the strings
dont u already have amazon?
no?
oh mb

im not doing this again
this is just part of software engineering
which day is it
Yeah
why
why
why
the oa is auto
the oa is auto
check spam
gap oa is auto?
oh shit
i would prefer twitch than zon tho
That doesn't sound correct
isn't twitch more prestigous than amazon?
its ok im not getting interview for twitch anyways so
ill just fail my zon interview so i can get twitch
papernotes have you done wordladder?
DUCC
just for u
why?
DUCCCCCC
first world problems
why what
@crisp berry
@midnight sonnet
When did twitch come out?
Wtf I didn't get twitch auto
they capping
Is this the new one
Building the future of live entertainment, and weโd do it even better when itโs with you.
Ducc
how hard is twitch oa? anyone get it ?
Ty
how many internships have you gotten? @wraith ice
did u mvoe on to phone
what previous internships do you have
I thought of another thing
amazon finally stopped hiring
bruh writing why X company is so lame
jkjk
how did you get NVIDIA?
wait lmao if i just applied to twitch i can do amazon too right
do u need to have really good low lelve os / networking / gpu etc knowledge/coursework?
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
oh word
stop pinging me
y did u ping me ho
working at lower level stuff at nvidia sounds way better than doing some boring back-end web stuff at most companies
@honest spire
me n my free time
@wraith ice

is this you
?
thats me
bruh taths not even swe intern
Goku's goals are beyond your understanding
no
for companies that require you to basically redo your resume, do you guys just copy paste the resume bulllet points? Or do you add more stuff?
(talking about details for past work experience)
i copy and paste
who requires u to redo resume
highlight ctrl c ctrl v
๐ค
amazon
simplify doesnt work?
i genuinely do not remember putting much info in for amazon
huh I didn't get an option to autofill from resume from Amazon
u have simplify?
honestly have no idea what that is sorry
ur sheet to not get hired from amazon

i wish i could speedrun this year
