Roblox OA passing formula (verified by CEO of Roblox):
Get OA score and divide it by 8
If the result is >= 0, you are going to be rejected
F twitch platform broken again this yr for me
I run code ide works fine
Theirs won’t run idk what i do wrong
Literally copy pasted the code it mad easy too
Im actually raging rn
Shit wont let me submit without getting 4/5 tc but literally impossible LOL
I gotta wait some time stupid platform
Py
Like i copy paste their tc into ide
Get correct result
But w then 3 tc i pass and other 2 i off by 1
It’s regex problem
But u dont need regex spam split
for what
Twitch
oh twitch
Their oa was buggy last yr
its because
And rn mine bugging idky
each item in the list after the first has a leading space
and they are all surrounded by quotes
they fucked up the input
Why tf they do that
as long as you handled that you should be fine
Okok i shall work for their dumbass inputs
if you're still getting 4/5 its a coding issue
Idk i tried all their tc like regular list on ide and got expected res
Its def input parsing the
its the email one right
i was able to get 5/5 on that
Okok
so check the quote/space
i wonder if they did this intentionally tbh
to simulate unexpected inputs or something

fuck i really want roblox final
im not gonna get it am i
i already played the robot game
actually
can you play that game normally
it was kinda fun tbh
they should make it into a full non oa thing if its not
glad u agree
You’re fine
Really?
Last year I had like 14/30 still got final
Bet. Prayers 🙏
Gl man
my dude i got 11/30
i interned there last summer
so take that as you will
Yeah 2 questions
my amazon process was so scuffed
lol
applied in aug, oa in late march, offer like mid april
do u have spotify prem
f
Big dubs
for amazon?
Yeah my first question was like a easy-med got 15/15 but 2nd question was a dp and sadly folded because I didn’t practice dp at all
damn thats super unlucky
i got the same qs as jack harlow
but i got 30/30
the qs were relatively simple
U got offer already damm lol
Goat
🪞
Imma try to speed up the process by send a email to recruiter
i aint even half a goat compared to peep here
Wait is Nuro apps even open rn
TPM privilege>:)
^
anyone apply to amazon after getting rejected somewhat recently? i got rejected after interviewing in march and they said i'm eligible to apply for an SDE position in 6 months... its been like 5.5 but im not tryna be late on applying
Honestly j wait 6. 2 weeks wont be too much diff not worth risk
Amzn recruits a lot and for a long time dw
Ur still early
Usually how long does it take for them to respond after OA
along w/ micro soft has anyone done Goldman Sachs process
Amazon vs adobe, which is better
i did their oa in 15 mins
still no call back
the questions
were trivial
goldman's bar is lower than saps'
ya they def aint it
yaaaaa
thats a diff story
i think blackrock would be better for that
so LC easy?
Jesus Christ man
okay nice i'll do that on Tuesday
i mean neither do i
but who gives a shit i got amazon
RIP
So Adobe > amazon
c1 -> amazon is way better imo
amazon gets u that bag
amazon's bag is pretty heavy @soft basin @past comet @iron folio know
Why is google > amazon when amazon pays more
at the end of the day I don't really gaf, I'm just gonna do G return at the end of the day
u dont work

adobe makes u work tho
Lol
True
the only reason big G is better its cuz u dont work
if u had to work
my boss took us to rent boats on a lake during a work day.
computer graphics be a lil hard
i dont think i can do a computer graphics intern project in 3 month
ya
thats def not it
imagine having to write guis
using java's verbose naming system
"abstract abstract factory interface class"
Faang > banks
no one gives a fuck about banks
ya getting BB is harder
if u can get BB
u can probs get anything else
ya
hence why u can get anythign else
1.) Amazon
2.) the rest
there u go
real talk
Lol
Tier 1) mindgeek
Tier 1) McDonald’s
Everyone knows what McDonald’s is but not everyon knows what Jane street is
Mcdoandls has more prestige clearly
1.) quantshops
2.) Apple/Big G/Meta
3.) Amazon
4.) sexy startups
5.) boomer but decent (ibm, sap, big banks...) not no name but not hot shit either
I AM GOING INTO 9th gtade and i want to be alexander wang. any textbooks on this subject?
Lol no
Go to the link
It tells u prestige of companies
No
No it doesn’t
Search google on that cite
2s is 6th

mfs holding the list upside down

It’s based on community rankings
Someone botted the site
Ruined the rankings

ibm and amazon employees boosting that big time

ibm and amazon both have 300k+ engineers
by "will" you mean that's what you're going to do?
everyone is just voting for their own company
😂
dumb
idk personally roblox stripe netflix are all top tier
how is ibm not prestigious they were a prerequisite to every big tech company today
if u can get into any of those u can retire after like 10 yrs
netflix like 500k cash some otherwordly shit
Ye but ur missing some other big N’s
when r u taking it
is water prestigious?
grass ===== water ???
codesignal is the only indicator of prestige
Lyft, Uber, databricks, Datadog, Atlassian, bytedance, snowflake, etc
yea
There’s a lot
the premium on selling sparkling water is higher i’ve heard
Snap tc cut by half tho
No
Not google
why the FUCK is yahoo on the list
Snap went down 80%
Google went down 20%
mfs making assumptions?
mfs not communicating clearly?
No google pays more than snap after the great fall
reject ✅
Tc adjusted
whilst i < 10 { # no parens needed
if i % 2 { # squire uses truthy values
proclaim("{i} is odd"); # string interpolation
} alas {
proclaim("{i} is even");
}
i += 1;
}
i’d say whatever mr. wagons is doing is the best
What is wagon doing
ur mom


woah
i saw that
It’s wagon tho
U can’t say no to the wagon
🛒

@quaint bolt can we connect on linkedin
why would he associate himself with peasants
ik u read the message @quaint bolt
He answered
😭 why not
he literally reacted to it lmao
☹️
d?
Wagon looks like his pfp
ive heard this is what they ask u during ur final at akuna
u need to say d before they finish the question or it’s over
fuck risk
i had a script on this shit
i’ll share it tmr
no i’m on my phone

Same
not even my boss can get me to deliver my work on time
I'm not yahkuna
Is this normal ? I got it from noreply email tho
I didn’t do task 1 and 2 and just submitted codesignal
Amazon vs databricks
Wdym stay in tech
AmusingThrone1208 Hey Is there a another
what should i do to stay in tech
should i do an unpaid internship to stay in tech?

i’m soory
i’m learning
signed
fr fr?
i don’t think i can do better

ya but it’s labour
Aren’t you an incoming freshman 

pay to win
idk where you got this idea but the internships I’ve done even the ones at smaller companies I’ve shipped multiple features into prod 
That people actually use/needed
Well they can’t just get some random person with no technical background/exp to do it and that already surpasses minimum wage lol
what doesn't work? how can I help?
leveling the playing field is actually a good thing for you
let me clear up a misconception that you have
do we need to make profiles on untapped to be considered for twitch and datadog and stuff?
Don’t apply to twitch rn it looks like their OA is broken?
They had a similar issue last year - they fixed it later
Some dumb mfs at twitch smh
oh dang lol, I was planning on taking the OA rn
but does untapped make a difference? It kind of feels like an annoyance
The test cases were so badly formatted like it was actually broken and then they fixed it with the next wave of OAs
So the ones who applied early got screwed over unless they worked around it
This is like saying that leetcode is bad because it levels the playing field for OAs
In any case, the unintended side effects of Simplify is creating a more equitable and meritocratic employment environment
The misconception you have is that companies are already spending $$$ to bring in more candidates anyways
They themselves are already trying to lower the playing field
what does simplify do
we help you find, apply and track your job applications
we have a web extension that also autofills 80% of job applications on the internet
autofill with resume? Or just straight up lol
how is it leveling the playing field
i dont think so lol
we help college students discover internships and significantly lower the barrier to applying to jobs
I don't think so either
Keep in mind, some of the most popular books for OA prep were written like 10-15 years ago lol
if not longer
Is it just lowering the barrier by making it more accessible? What are the "unintended effects"
yup, the "unintended effects" in question is that it makes it worse for "average" applicants. theoretically, if you use the app too, you will already offset this effect
oh lol
thanks haha, most our features come directly from user feedback so its super important for us to be where our users are
I wanna say that I kinda get where the idea is coming from, because I am average and less competition is nice, but I also think its good to have more accessibility, since most of my competitors have probably already applied to the exact same places as me
It does sound pretty cool though

yeah, I understand the sentiment for sure, just don't think its something that is happening in practice. @wary whale, would be happy to have an extended dialogue if you are interested!
I'm gonna end up applying to 100 companies anyways, might as well spend 20 minutes doing so instead of 5 hours lol
yes I got it
?
Ur cute
Did you get a OA now?
Did you get an OA finally?
not yet
good morning
can you use google for databricks oa
just finished HRT OA, is it just me or the questions are harder than the average CodeSignal?
or did I just get shit luck?
oh gosh the score is worse than my previous scores 😭
don't really wanna say 
Datadog / figma OA whennnn 
Yep
But idk whether they are done with giving out OAs
Hopefully not yet
Same
Lmao idk, anything FAANG+ I guess
username checks out
It’s very interesting how in my college barely 30-40 people know about quant firms and here the discussion is as popular as FAANG
a lot of people know about them, it’s just not their target
has anyone successfully moved amazon to winter or fall?
Different population 
Counterexample: me 
I’m an imposter
I am ultra sussy
Anyone got amazon OA after August 15? If so, then when did y’all apply?
600 leetcodes
are they fucking clown
If they were able to solve all that shit
just apply
Very true, makes me question what i was doing with my life in high school
Agreed
Where do you study?
I mean, solving that much, should probably set you for solving most if not every OA
after that if u don't have exp u do personal projects to fill up your resume
and then u just play rng game
until u get head or tails
your resume is shit then
or bad rng
tbf, I don't think u need to solve 600 to be able to pass most OAs
You just need to solve enough to learn most used algorithms + tricks
you paid per month?
than it is not really that overprices lol
netflix costs more
so berkeley?


more weed?
Y no amazon OA😭😭
why no
not even in a imposter syndrome way just
Bro I hope my LP part carried for my Amazon oa 
How was the coding part?
Not that good
18/30. All 15 on first
Rippp I see I see
Slide thingy in what u most agree with
Yeah so I’m hoping it’s good enough and they take into account my experience. Doubt it lol
Is it a thing in the US to ask someone to tutor you to get better internships?
finished the figma oa at 3 am
then had an interesting discussion about finance careers 
that its under review
LOL same
its a rogue chatbot that surgically selected an attractive pfp for the outcome of eliciting responses from people here
dangerous piece of technology that lurks among us as a regular user be wary
does anyone know how long a codesignal score last for?
start deleting ur messages now…
6 months typically
ty
leetcode count is such a scam
theres no pt to doing leetcode problems u already know how to do lol
😭 
Hi
stop regex headass
in interviews, how many graph questions are dfs/bfs on a 2d array vs. a classic graph question
I've been mainly practicing the m x n matrix ones
is the matrix types generally a bit more straight forward
b/c im pretty confident w/ those
right cause at that point its kind of just applying a skeleton to the problem
all the graph theory i learned in algo went in one ear and out the other
is there any case where you would want to implement DFS with a stack vs. doing it recursively
Space optimization
screw space
Interviewer may ask.. soo
yep
just because recursive call stack would be O(n)
well O(d) where d is the depth
is the stack implementation literally the same as BFS but switch the queue for a stack lol
isn't the complexity the same?
im pretty sure it is
between iterative and recursion?
yeah but you do have to insert and remove from the stack
What lmao how is it O(1) space?
wait yea pause
Recursive uses the implicit stack
aren't they the same
yeah they should be
i could swear that I saw O(1) in multiple leetcode solutions for a stack based implementation
one sec
but yea I agree now the recursive call stack is just a stack
behind the scenes
the entire memory is a stack
In Java, C, and Python, recursion is fairly expensive compared to iteration (in general) because it requires the allocation of a new stack frame.```
Yea, but asymptotically it will be just the same
