Oh ok
make shitty low level project
hope that interviewer only understands java and python
Lol
what happens if you say youre black do they make you take a DNA test or what
bruh
nice try lil bro
this one
i dont know
His school must hate him now
💀
someone just said it wasnt automated
I think @steady crow wanted to see too
Yeah i saw it, thanks 🙏
loo’s ece os course is insane
That’s my third project
Project 1 is the main project for that course
i think i put a different grad date on my hackerrank than i did on my resume that i applied to the company with 💀
i almost failed calc 1 dw i have no expectations to do well
OS my second best course in uni

Best was systems prog & concurrency
Databricks might
i got rejected too fast for them to have read thru my projects
These database companies really like diving into people’s resumes
banana moment
is this a meme
i heard Ib is about networking more than being a genius
fr
lol
(says biology Olympiad camp goer)
i didn’t realize olympiads existed till i opened r/a2c
what changed ur mind
i mean tbf my high school was dogshit so how could i have known
Hmmm def a cardiac/neuro surgeon
we didnt even have APs 
Have you not seen doctor strange 
I liked biology bc I was good at it, but then I saw my mom’s bookshelves and noped out of being a doctor
bruh dont neurosurgeons finally finish with education n residency at 35 or some shit 💀
ive still never visited
cause they "taught to pass the test" instead of understand the material
i refuse to
even if i heard of olympiads i wouldnt have done them
it doesnt seem very worth
And then they buy a private jet after a couple surgeries
I know a neurosurgeon who flies around in his private jet for meet ups with friends 
You don’t go from surgery to surgery all the time
It’s during their off times
its in GTA for his 12 minute break (1st one of the week)
Idk i heard it’s like crazy hours
grades are inflated asf
It’s just when they do work it’s very hard
Must take some crazy amount of passion to be a neurosurgeon
One time their friends were like “Nah we can’t go to X, it’s too far” and they’re like “we can just take my plane” 💀
I feel like if they were swayed like that, they wouldn’t have liked premed
It takes a lot to get to and thru med school
You don’t know if you’ll make it until you make it
And you don’t make it for like 10+ years
i mean average salary is like what, 415k
what is wlb of a neurosurgeon tho
no
if u have to debate whether or not you want to do tech or be a doctor it’s probably not a good idea to be a doctor
It’s decent, he’s not always in surgeries
do people become doctors cause they like saving ppls lives? are the passionate about something else 💀
I don’t know a single doctor who’s in it for the money
It’s too much effort to be in it just for the money
what are they motivated by
Well tbf the doctors I know are all surgeons or at/near the top of their respective fields
like coding is fun as fck for me so i want to do it as a job. but no 12 year old is like hey i love performing surgery, i want to do this full time
i would die laughing if i saw a blind post and the workplace was "Cedars-Sinai"
Anyways time to leave
stanford medical, but all of them
Good convos
frock
Glad we moved away from the degen shit from a couple hours ago
i’d rather ask a friend but i know a director of eng at linkedin
anyone else hatw asking adults for things
that shit awk
im ngl im shameless as fuck
and it works
so i dont care
im not bruh i don’t like hitting up ppl i don’t talk to and being like hey
but good for u tbh
yea but they would understand
ik im chilling w out it that’s why im not shameless
i haven’t gotten resume rej anywhere
it’s just a precaution
except duolingo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

tech kids are so wild
WMAC?
oh i got it
bruh
i love how they are getting these opinions from OTHER applicants like
that isnt gonna do shit!!
2025s talk out of their ass constantly
source: am one
lol
reddit is so useful
i thought 6 figures was nearly impossible out of a bachelors degree
everyone was like "oooo 6 figs" and i was like wow so 6 figs is like a dream huh
so all reddit did was give you brainrot
baically
cscareerquestions is cool sometimes but theres a lot of crying about having to grind leetcode and stuff
i didnt realize r/a2c type of kids existed till i went on there
i cry about having to grind leetcode without those losers
like i never thought 16 and 17 year olds could be that accomplished
if they arent accomplished in getting bitches
then they arent accomplished
alright what are everyone's plans for tomorrow
lets fucking go bro
driving is actually broken
What does that mean
that URM buff gotta get applied somehow
URM?
oops replied to wrong thing
underrepresented minority
yea bruh so many ppl in my internship r asian males
Source: I’m Asian male
S K I L L I S S U E
i feel like cscareerquestions is opposite of csmajors
every time i go on cscareerquestions theres a post about how not all swes get 200k
complaining about what
idk lol but it says that recruiters can see ur race and stuff
@wary whale you;re literally a bot
im indian
idk why u would want to do remote internship when in person internships give u housing
its not like irl job is gonna give u free housing
like for full time it makes sense bc CoL
for intern if ur CoL (food, housing) is all paid
just enjoy NYC
i learned absolutely nothing useful in using reddit the months before i found this place
yo
for cs career stuff, reddit did nothing for me
cscq Reddit is so bad
they're all bad, the csmajors might have some golden nuggets but avg upvoted stuff still garbage
whats the copium on csmajors
Until a few months ago they thought you had to work 996 for 25 years to get over 100K as a swe
do you not
20k
@inner kernel bruh youre always on here
one of the top posts there rn is like "wow man i don't want faang cuz i want boring remote job with good wlb"
faang kids right now: "bro that's literally what I do"
absolute buffoons
@inner kernel stop
those posts are more annoying than faang flex posts
literally just telling ppl to not try hard
nobody even flexes faang IRL
yea
can you seriously stop
u can easily just not be friends with anyone who wants to flex job irl
like maybe ull encounter some ppl
but
who cares
Nobody I know flexes job irl except some loo kids
it's true, after my daily free food and full body massage with RSU vesting, i forget how privileged i am
they never had em 😭
"prepared" 
nobody directly pinged but they prob replied to u
i can see logs
i see everything 👁️ 👄 👁️
Yes

so fire...
in my office it seemed like 9-5ish for the most part, people would sometimes do a little less
not often that anyone would be there past 5:30ish
i have an interview at google coming up should i be expected to know how to code? thanks in advance kind stranger
get your graphs and DP straight
im trolling
i'd assume companies have different people for that kinda stuff
oh bruh
instead of making the same guys do it all
is yahoo okay?
@inner kernel are you taht good at LC that you been typing on here for hours
😭
@sinful locust you're fr from hw help?
💀
wtf is hw help
Goku did u cheat on your hw?
i was never in that
fuk tutors
Ugh
im going to tell amazon
Yea
my name's only been rigby for like a week
Thanks!
stop
stop
i got a B in Calc gagagag
stooooooooooooooooppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
on the second part -- i feel like u can't really tell what type of lifestyle you'd want till u really try it out for a year or two.
so its probably not worth thinking about too much and safer to stick to tc chasing at first then change mind later down the road than doing it in reverse
yeah but i mean for the same industry/role (tech/swe)
Let’s write some more neetcode today
wait uh this doesnt work
i get an error, "email already exists" when trying to add a new email
i do this sometimes but i feel like it doesnt help me get better
even tho i understand the solution completely
need to improve my intuition i guess

bruh how many cars/robot were u guys able to pass for each round for roblox oa part 2?
i got 4 robot firs track, but i couldnt get anything past 1 robot for 2nd track
Why ?
cause
I only got 1 for first one and 0 on the second
💀
Maybe I wasn't using any brain cells
bruh it was kind of dumb tho
i just tried a lot of different things quickly
U are
at least for 1 solution
lmaoo
i wonder if using an existing old roblox accoutn helps
my roblox account i used is like 5 years
Rip cuz i had an older 10 year old account that got banned for hacking
💀
reporting to roblox
it already got banned 😂
also can u l;ook down and write on paper for roblox codesignal cuz its recorded
or do they flag u for cheating or sm shit
really?
I didn't even attempt to cheat
cause that was soo cancer
I don't even enjoy roblox
thought roblox gca is unproctored?
gca allows u to write
yo wtf my pending gca suddenly rose in score?
still pending for proctor verification (I think) but the score's different
no idea, just did it yesterday lol
yup
though score changed
so someone's probs looked through it
okay I literally just received an email to finish pending
1 day then
bro wtf
i got 4/4 on codesignal for the first time ever
wtf
for roblox
wtf codesignal is actually fking rng
Damn wtf
broooo
wtfff
bruh staying up from 2 until 5am to do roblox was worth it
wtf this is actually RNG
i think i got easier questions
idk
q4 was tricky but i drew some examples out on paper and fking found that pattern by luck and literlaly just playing around
q3 was literally insane brute force non-optimal
im so happy wtf
wait so this score stays for 2 weeks? should i start spam applying to places?
Cuz i just started applications
wtf the score went from 843 to 844
so weird
@wary whale do u know ans for this?
its still under pending
the score stays for 6 months
but just saying, u still need to pass resume screen
Ya i think i have a decent resume
i have 2 internships but theyre like nontech and f500 but hopefulyl its gd enough
Wait so i can use this score
right ?
For like Databricks and stuff?
ye
Roblox is the first codesignal for me
ok
what companies that are out right now r using codesignal for summer 2023?
ik roblox, databricks, HRT uses it -- any else?
Hey guys, are amazon's internship positions open?
yea
I mean eu locations
just check their site, i rmb seeing them
Because I checked and find just their vacancies from previous years, but thanks
it is, i just realized i already applied to their berlin, dresden, dublin, london, italy offices for sde 2023 internships
They invited you for oa?
what to answer when the hr asks you whether you have other interviews/offers with other companies going on?
and like the company that you want is the one you're interviewing for
and you do have other interviews going on
u tell them the truth
usually its good cuz they wanna speed up the process for u if u have a offer with a close deadline
good job, its a great scsore
itll get verified soon if you didnt do anything blatantly sus
@sinful locust sus
ok
People don’t really do medicine for the money lol
they care heavily about school
source: friend currently interning there
Lol what
There's people who definitely do it for the money
Yea but Not really tho
Maybe money is a side motivation for them but most people I know going into medicine are cognizant of the fact that other careers are more lucrative
yeah true
you need to have a real passion for what youre doing imo
or else you wont put in the extra hours
Yea doing medicine for the money is a horrible idea
Taking all those science classes
Doing 100+ hours of volunteering clinical and non clinical
Doing research
Doing 4 years of med school then residency
There’s no way you could really do all that stuff unless you had a passion for it
That's not true tbh
If you paid them 150k and that's it
Idk most med students and pre-med people will say doing medicine for the money is bad
Doubt those same people would do it
I've met people passionate about building products, without caring much for pay
Yea obviously money is a side motivation and they’re well compensated for all that work but they don’t just go into medicine seeking to make the most amount possible otherwise they’d choose something else
I've also people who choose medicine for respect as well, and that's something people don't choose tech for
Because most are desperate to make some money and get exp
There are so many developers who don't make a lot and are passionate about building stuff
Ask any pre med kids at your school and they will tell u themselves that other careers pay more than medicine lol
The pre med guys at my school are aware of this
Coming into a server that is pretty much dedicated to high paying internships and saying people only care about FAANG is pretty obvious
Most pre mid kids ik don't really care about helping people
What school do u go to?
I've met some who really do and you can see their passion, but most consider money, respect
This is dedicated towards people like that bruh
as in most of the population in america
There are a lot more developers out there
It might be different at say, Princeton, where the opportunity cost is a lot higher for choosing medicine vs community college
Half the people from high school who went into pre med watched too much Grey's anatomy
So do people in medicine
facebook has 32k
google has 27k
amazon has 70k
netflix has 6k
apple has 25k
= 160k FAANG employees
Not everyone is a neurosurgeon or cardiothoracic surgeon
SirPeasant what type of school do u go to that probably changes the opportunity cost
State Public school
well if you go to a top cs school it makes your opporunities much more aligned to want to go into those top tech jobs
but regardless tech is a meritocracy for the most part
Yea that’s true the opportunity cost for picking medicine at that point is large
I'm not saying that people go into medicine not caring about helping people
I've definitely seen people who care an amazing amount for helping people
But the number of people who talk about going into plastic surgery or setting private practices is quite a bit
Relative to the number of people who do medicine
And there's nothing wrong with that
That doesn’t mean they’re going into it with money as the biggest factor tho
So if they were paid <150k, you think they would still go for it
Imo it’s a combo of they like science, helping people, respect/prestige, and pay
Some types of doctors pay that plus dentists
Same could be said for developers
Faang people don't even make up like 30 percent I think
Most doctors in America make way more than 150k
Most people probably wouldn’t, but would anyone be a firefighter if it paid $2k a year?
Or would anyone be a professor if it paid $25k a year?
Tbh professors are paid a low asf amount
No one goes into academic for money
Most
I can make the argument that some do
I’m just saying no one would do anything if that pay was that bad
Bro
No one would be a professor if the pay was $15k a year
You think that professors are paid similar to doctors?
Keep in mind, most profs have PhDs
Yea HYPSM/ivy professors make a lot
Bruh, how many profs is that
Idk
Like not even 15%
Bruh but no one would do any job of the pay was bad is my point
How tf is 150k bad?
Relative to the debt u take on and years studying that sucks
Now you want someone who pretty much does it for the passion and helping people?
Teachers
They make a really shit wage
Yet they still go for it
Bro u take 300k in debt
And teachers graduate debt free?
Look at the average diff in salary between those two fields
When people have to do multiple jobs to survive and still do it, that's passion. Which is most teachers imo
Applying to quants knowing u gonna get rejected 
you got this jody 
This argument is stupid though
You acknowledge that they do it at a far too low wage and that they wouldn't do it for free. Obviously, they need money to live
But what I said above is how many docs would be docs for 150k
That's a livable wage, a good one
Why are you comparing that to doing it for free?
I'm not saying it is, but for most people in medicine, it's a bigger concern than say, teachers
I mean they need 6 years of education
Doctors need 8
They get paid during residency
barely lol
bruh
And they start making significantly more
Once you get past residency, most don't work 100 hours

people r doctors because theyre passionate about it
no one
like doctor high salary is just because they work long hours + needa pay off their loans + artificial shortage enforced by the medical board
no i mean
a lot of doctors in europe are doing it for <150k
False
I come from a country with universal healthcare and doctors there make nowhere close to American doctors
They do it for a way lower amount than 150k
If we wanna talk about passion, it's teachers
"people dont do things primarily for money?!! what?!"
Why they do the shit they do for that pay, has to be passion
yup
Like why do you need masters for teaching 5th grade science?
the masters is often for education
Talking about murica
Yea ik, seems unnecessary
I think people in tech are passionate about what they do too
This server doesn't represent the tech world
bro why tf are people journalists, actors, filmmakers and etc then
sometimes passion outweighs having basic needs LMFAO
Stop
Lol, you just obliterated them bruh
That's just the industry
They probably would if med school didn’t cost $450M
yeah most of the time
but thats why not all of us are artists
bro 😭
mf actively uses yik yak
Every job is properly paid relative to the value they contribute
Their pay is what the market has already decided that their work is worth
fast food workers contribute a lot
and they are paid really shit
yeah let me just find another job
Their economic contribution isnt that huge tho
What they do specifically
Obv the industry is huge
what about teachers
Govt sucks at paying everyone
true
They want to spend their budget on wars in the middle east
Not the US education system
@astral dew
stop
Middle Easy
@astral dew
so you're saying that doctors need to make >= 150k to have their needs met?
@astral dew
stop
EMBRACE THE JODY
DRose
@hearty river EMBRACE THE MATUDA
no matter what occupation you have u deserve to have a living wage
All of yahkuna clan, what 
then why'd you start with such a claim lmfao
This is what I kept saying. Apparently 150k for doctors was equivalent to teachers getting paid nothing
yeah LMFAO
What if your occupation is war criminal
so ur going back on ur argument
LMAO
that’s not an occupation
why do we even need doctors. science is fake anyway
yeah 5g literally causes brain cancer
i think most doctors would do it for under 150k still
Sound like my aunt 😭
yeah htey would
that was ironic btw
lmaoo
if doctors wanted money, they'd go into investment banking LMFAO. they're definitely smart enough
i literally use 5g 🤣🤣
Because someone has to support the prescription drug industry by making you pay $5000000 for an ounce of insulin
Don’t mean u have the passion for it
no
i do not care
yeah i use 5g to light up my blunts
I walked near a 5g tower and someone died
yeah well smoking is shit
lmfao fr
yeah. its incredibly hard to be a doctor. by the time you graduate medical school, you could be making 600k as an investment banker/lawyer with no loans
i have 1 interview and 5 OAs and im freaking the fuck out 😶
They be working 7/10/7
For that shit
And still make less than most swes
bruh vaccines are shit. I got pumped full of vaccines and never even got these diseases. What’s the point in even getting it
investment bankers and lawyers definitely make 600k after like 8-9 years
ohh yeah after 8-9 years
by that time
L, I got covid after the covid vaccine. Maybe youre just bad
theyd be a new grad doctor making like 200k
imagine
yeah good point
yeah but its definitely not at 150k
Why does this server actually exist
a doctor in Alabama still probably makes 200k
How many 30 year old IBs are making 600k lol
a LOT
Half this server would switch fields
no
bro u can make 600k at 30 in tech
thats not entry level bro
a lot are
but with 1/2 the hours
IB pays ungodly amounts over time
At least it helps to offset the healthcare cost of delivering the baby that their sibling put in them
You can fs, but very few people
maybe for u bro
@soft mist mcdonalds
amazon sde2 gonna be paying 600k in a few years
You'd have to be more than staff
no
no
external new hire perfect interview sde2 amazon == 400k
I said in a few years
Every guy like you thinks they'll make staff in a year
Effects of cscd
🤓
amazon is exhausting the talent pool
bro this isnt about me
im saying its doable
no
FB E5 top band is like 580k
nothing is possible if you don’t put your mind to it
and u can get that with 4 YoE
Put toothpaste back into tube vibe
you aren’t getting 580k internally kekw
externally
ill probably be staff in 10 years but idrc cuz im rest and vest pilled
Bruh people really exaggerate this 10-20 hrs
20 hrs week? Cap lol
yeah lol
fb has 5 yoe min for external e5
Incoming at msft
🤷♂️ idk
yeah but the thing is then you get those people "baker turned microsoft swe" or some shit but no one realizes that you have to learn a lot of shit before youre ready for interviews
it doesnt take a month and boom
But the work in finance isn't exactly kind blowing
takes years
Whereas in tech, it's a lot more work imo
True. But still like a typical 40hr work week
either way it just adds another year
finance is just making excel sheets
why
Go to r/financial careers and read about the guy at JPMorgan

I’d snort coke with clients if that meant I make 2 mil
His day in the life is literally presentations and excel sheets
but the hard part is analyzing conversations
and making money out of it
Yeah but quant > both
no dealing with clients involves getting up at 4am in the morning if your client needs shit done ASAP
Quant is not cooler to work in for everyone
@soft mist
Purdue?
Yeah
can I come
oh yeah those are the hard parts for sure but like communicating with people is somethign i find fun
Yes
ok pulling up
yo send link
investment banking is just a career where u have no seperation between work and life. ur oncall 24/7
can I bring Isha
Its the best place to work straight outta college
(Im including swe at trading firms)
Not just traders and qrs
only akuna swe is worth
the best is subjective, in terms of monetary tradeoffs it is for sure
Only rentech swe is worth
nah thats cap
unless u mean two sigma
poo
Yeah like idk if im planning to be in quant long-term but I am at least planning to start the first couple years there to make some money and then leave for tech or 2sig or sometjing
two sigma based asf
so working more == not best to work at?
yeah
why would u wanna work more
because i wanna do other shit with my life
The payoff is still higher
okay but its not that much
You're right it's amazon
to the point where it engulfs your life
uh it is
like youre not there 80 hours a week
how much
if I want more money I can just work at google and twitter for 50 hours a week total
stop
And as I summoned, he appears
if you work 40 in quant it means you can get away working 15 in tech
like tech is rly not intense
so yes if youre an average tech worker youre working 60-80 in quant
People really act as of quant is easy or some shit
yeah lol
People don't last long there
They pay hourly for fulltimers??
And not everyone makes millions
quant is easy
No
no
Imo, hourly pay isn't that diff at most quant firms
why
but you can probably find teams that work 20-25 hours at a place like google
Bro got into akuna and thinks he knows quant
and work 2 jobs 
Who you talking about
akuna is the only real quant
yak
everyone else is a poser
@zealous trail
^ fr y’all buggin
lol yeah
you have to be a top performer or else its not worth
and most of us ARE NOT that guy
Not for swe
true
quant is easy if you’re smart
Only for traders and qrs and shit
like if ur n3 or smth ud crush it
Also you can just be better
quant work is also completely fking boring
Like i dont get why people don’t realize that you can improve
all the seniors give u dog work
Bro swe work is fucking dogshit everywhere
yeah lol
yea so the point is to minimize it
do as little swe work as possible
tech swe can be more interesting just bc you’re working on real stuff
Go do research or some shit
if your idea is to work less and minimize hours
then just dont be an swe
lol
thing is, theres absolutely no point in working hard until ur senior SWE
just gonna do 2 jobs bbg + linkedin
like who wants to do bitch work for a QR
Sounds like residency
no there is its called being honest to your job
Even working on “real stuff”, the work is still boring as shit
lol
Except, you get paid more

Overemployed
baby girl?
yes
Forgot how much clowning goes on in this server
like real shit. u just rest and vest for 2 years. then dip to external L4 and make 350k. then rest and vest for 3 more years -> Dip to external E5 and make 500-550k.
(only if ur cracked at interviewing)
I read a post about someone getting into a testing team at msft and how it was so easy
I thought about you instantly
need fully remote
do you know that guy on this server
hes doing google + amazon
overemployed FT
😭
chad
plat would destroy most tech inteviews
im gonna do bloomberg + linkedin
so idt he'll have trouble finding a job
sounds easier than g + amazon
lets be coworkers 
Bloomberg for all cash?
why not just go back to citadel and get non compete
What about after non compete
if i get a linkedin offer, im accepting it instantly
Its pure boring
I don't think he has any desire for quant
heres what swe work is like - testing, parameter tuning, glueing build files together, migrating to new tech, writing cron jobs and python scripts
frontend is kinda fun
lol
I want to do actual quant or some shit after seeing how lame swe is
Yum
U bum
There is
lechets OKC team is frontend
based king

It said data stuff
Where you get worked to shit
How long is chet’s front end
but this is a quant swe job 99% of the time
You'll taste it this summer dw
So would you recommend it for me
@sinful locust
so yea no offense @zealous trail but how can you think i dont hate swe after this
Oh, then what are you doing here outsider
also getting sadg when u cant figure out 10 yr old legacy code by some guy who left the company
rentech
Just hate cit
You don't hate swe, you just hate quant swe
Right
this too
But also swe does suck
#block
damn this sounds like a low tier tech swe team
regular swe is writing config files
php moment
Go to applied intuition

regular swe is just gluing together APIs
Yea but you're not getting worked to shit
Block
i stink at css
should try
@soft mist wait are you doing that shit for 60-80 hours a week?
theres no css
god i hate ui design
Lol friends
hi
this is all quant swe 😔

Sudan
mf actively poggin
venmo me 10 and sure
do you think they were contrived or for a real purpose
(former linkedin intern)
Im broke
i feel like i was doing real business code at citadel but it was just completely annoying day in and out
had to change my verbs to past tense 
pain
u shouldn’t be worried abt ur resume hungry tiger lmao
no u
Oh no it was jn chile
I wrote new bullet points
