One of my interviewers was on ads analytics

Pretty cool work they do over there

You’re not an analyst…

Why would an analyst interview me for swe intern

[hallow scroll]

swe analytics

[quaint bolt]

Ads analytics is what creators see

How much their ad campaigns and stuff are making or are predicted to make

You work on that

Oh pog datadog final

[proud whale]

any front end chads here? wanna see how y'all add the front end experience in your resume bullets

[quaint bolt]

Pure behavioural you got this

[proud whale]

the bullets from my one backend experience are • Developed an Apache Kafka worker that asynchronously executes various database operations after <item> is created • Built sequence flow diagrams and outlined business logic for 3 services to improve documentation for 60 engineers • Migrated 2 microservices to Spring Framework and upgraded 5 microservices to from Java 8 to Java 11 • Created the backend architecture for a new potential <company_name> feature targeting Asian markets (won Hackathon award)

[quaint bolt]

Heard back about final the next day

[proud whale]

but that could use updating actually

so that's what i'll do now

[earnest coral]

Is the riot games oa on hackerrank?

[quaint chasm]

For anyone who took the amazon interview, did your interviewer ask you to screenshare during the coding section?

Cuz I couldn't get amazon chime working on my laptop so I had to join the call on my phone so obviously he couldn't ask me to screenshare

Just wondering if that could cost me the offer if you're supposed to

[simple salmon]

I never had to screen share

[quaint chasm]

Yeah I coded on that just wondering if anyone got asked to share their screen on chime as well

Think I had to for cap one

But good to hear that yall didn't have to do that

[kind sable]

when does c1 usually send their offers if you get it

[quaint chasm]

I didn't get cap one offer I screwed up technical unfortunately

Yeah I think so

[kind sable]

i heard u only need 2/3 interviewers to recommend u

not sure tho

[quaint chasm]

I heard that too

[kind sable]

when’d u take urs @quaint chasm

maybe idk how it works

i heard some ppl bomb a portion and still got it

[quaint chasm]

Aug 23rd

[kind sable]

dang that’s so long ago

they still haven’t gotten back?

[quaint chasm]

Got rejection a couple days later

[kind sable]

no

6 months wait

oh damn it’s alright

i’ll just wait until next summer

hopefully idk tho

my leetcode sucks lol

the thing is cap1 technical wasn’t leetcode so i did fine on that

honestly i’m just tryin to land any good tech internship

so i have a year to prep for next summer to land faang

that’s not a bad thing as long as u communicated

damn i’m not even looking for winter

i only tryna get summer

i have one

this is my second

im going into my second year

a medical device company

honestly idk how i landed it

i didn’t do any leetcode last year

my company came out like late in hiring season like march? don’t remember

amazons so good

i’m hoping to land next summer at least to try to get a return offer after that

yeah

not 2023 summer

but next one

like

50 lol

no

eh

kind of

idk

the guy helped me so much

but i got it in the end

probably just the many mistakes

i’d be fine w cap1 this summer tho

it’s a good internship

i don’t think the full time tdp program the best tho

damn lol

internship is great tho i think

i think ur better off trying to land amazon than going through cap1 full time tdp

were u able to change to winter

i heard amazons flexible

but it varies

no way

LOL

idk

i think so

but

u never know

i cant tell from that response

idk if hes able to see ur other interview results or not

maybe u did good on case

im not sure how i did tbh

i think i do too

thats why im bad at lc

lol

its rng

case interview

did u hear back from rbi

i got the matrix one on oa

failed that

oa

yeah

that oa was probablt the hardest oa ive seem

yeah

yeah

i didnt get the algorithm

on how to solve it

it was similar to that

yeah

i got like 5/15 for the matrix one lol

or

i solved it

but i got tle

for like 5/15 test cases

yeah

nah i got something different

it was array manipulation tho

yeah greedy

[elfin peak]

[tardy ridge]

by like asking them what I could do rn

[jaunty cove]

i realized its a test of patience

[hardy patrol]

[jaunty cove]

[jaunty cove]

[hardy patrol]

they sent me the oa

pay out is like 47 an hour nothing else

return offer is like 100k for ng

not doing it after seeing the 34th post on reddit calling ibm a shit place to work in

[safe minnow]

Tf

IBM?

Or micro

[sinful locust]

What's wrong with ibm

[hardy patrol]

is the name at least prestigious or some shit

[quaint bolt]

IBM/Oracle etc are FAANG feeders if you’re looking for something like that

[low vale]

i took a break from grind75 for the past 5 days

should get back on it

I'm almost done

[hardy patrol]

https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/wvbphn/why_aint_no_one_warn_me_almost_all_the_oldschool?sort=top

[hardy patrol]

idk how important faang feeder companies are since its very possible to land faang without prior exp anyway

goku moment

[quaint bolt]

that's prolly only for amazon US

[sinful locust]

Amazon Canada harder than us?

[quaint bolt]

here in waterloo amazon's notorious for not hiring people who're not doing their 5th/6th coops lol

[sinful locust]

Tf

[jaunty cove]

i think oracle closed their apps

[zealous trail]

Skill issue

[low vale]

why need a feeder when you can just get faang 4head

[quaint bolt]

true

[hardy patrol]

[sinful locust]

[hardy patrol]

amz > ibm

[zealous trail]

Are you letting Akuna expire lol

[quaint bolt]

[jaunty cove]

[zealous trail]

Did u ask to push yet?

[sinful locust]

yo

[low vale]

oh damn, who are you reneging for

[zealous trail]

Idk anyone that’s pushed personally

[quaint bolt]

to off-season? I thought they didn't do that

[sinful locust]

imagine would you take dbricks over yahkuna

[zealous trail]

Ye

[quaint bolt]

was under the impression only JS and cit have off-season

[zealous trail]

Oh Icic u mean someone else spring

[zealous trail]

P sure IMC has off-season

[quaint bolt]

no akuna >

[uneven sand]

damn

[zealous trail]

I might be capping tho lol

[low vale]

i still have to get my offer

[zealous trail]

Java 🤢

[jade elm]

do y'all think it's smarter to hear back from Amazon first or reapply through another email while having an ongoing application status?

[quaint bolt]

still want the bonus

[low vale]

oh yeah i heard they do the final in java

that would be sad

i hate java

[sinful locust]

no

[zealous trail]

Dawg they do the internship in java

[jaunty cove]

i cant pass resume screens💀

[low vale]

ayo wait wtf

gg

[quaint bolt]

I actually liked using Java this summer tbh, but I'd prefer a C++ project

which is why Akuna is so tempting

[jade elm]

the email I'm reapplying with has a referral attached to it, that's why

[quaint bolt]

but I need da monies

[jaunty cove]

no, my resume is just not good

[low vale]

It was aight but my interviewer came late so i couldn't finish the last technical in time

[jaunty cove]

im not complaining its expected

[south aspen]

When’s final

[clever grail]

get that optiver intern pay

[low vale]

it was 3 questions in 45 min so hopefully i don't have to do all of them lol

yeah

med

[jaunty cove]

one day will have a cracked resume

[low vale]

but like they were implementation heavy

not super difficult conceptually

[quaint bolt]

I have my HR phone today they ran out of slots earlier bc I was like a day late in responding

[jaunty cove]

i just bs a good amount of the projects

[quaint bolt]

did their OA yesterday

[low vale]

45 technical 45 behavioral

[quaint bolt]

how much is optiver swe intern pay

[jaunty cove]

i had nothing relevant to cs on my resume in june now i have 5 projects and 2 jobs

[dusk kayak]

good morning

[quaint bolt]

no way it's more than imc with the signing bonus

[wide gale]

Anyone else get the same email as me for SIG swe? i got perfect on the oa

[zealous trail]

Idts

[low vale]

yeah you do it immediately after you finish the technical

[jaunty cove]

what kind of cutting edge stack

[wide gale]

yeah i figured ...

[low vale]

I changed my name to duolingo employee just in case

lol

i think i got it because i did most of the technical and good on the behavioral

but just in case

[clever grail]

11k biweekly + 10k signing according to csmajors discord

[low vale]

I think they replied to the wrong comment

[jaunty cove]

lol

[quaint bolt]

wtaf

ain't no way

[low vale]

wait wait wait

11k biweekly?

wtf

[quaint bolt]

biweekly???

that's more than faang new grad

[jaunty cove]

i should check out threejs or webgl sounds cool

[low vale]

is it time to get rejected from optiver?

[uneven sand]

11k biweekly is cap

no shot

that's 137/hr

[jaunty cove]

i think i will move my personal website from rust to ocaml to make it even more hard to develop

[sinful locust]

@rustic topaz wtf is this

[dusk kayak]

rust website

[sinful locust]

915 pages

[low vale]

why not keep it in rust?

[zealous trail]

I mean it’s kinda plausible

[low vale]

wasm is cool, no?

[zealous trail]

Cit trading is like 10k biweekly

[jaunty cove]

wasm is cool but not for writing a personal website

[zealous trail]

At least if u have competing

[sinful locust]

91 last year

[jaunty cove]

there is nothing graphically intensive on there for me

[sinful locust]

wtf really

[low vale]

ah okay makes sense if its trading

[zealous trail]

The problem is like no quant firms pay the same for every candidate

[sinful locust]

optiver swe intern process seems rng

[quaint bolt]

hmm that's more than imc if I include a signing bonus here

[jaunty cove]

https://threejs-journey.com/ @sinful locust

this

[quaint bolt]

wait does optiver also use java

[low vale]

optiver and imc have same ft pay right?

[clever grail]

they deleted the message hmmm

[zealous trail]

No lol

[jaunty cove]

i have an interview in java in 6 hours how do i learn syntax

[sinful locust]

optiver trading is better i think

optiver trading can pay a lot

the marble system

[quaint bolt]

these dutch firms are built diff

[twin flint]

waiting on good duolingo final instabase

[jaunty cove]

i will check it out did u buy it

[zealous trail]

Australia 😡

[low vale]

[sinful locust]

[sinful locust]

nah

[jaunty cove]

susquehanna sounds dutch asff

[sinful locust]

cause i wanna apply to their dat sci internshisp

[zealous trail]

Susquehanna is a place lmao

In the US

[low vale]

wait i thought susqehenna meant a place in europe lol

[zealous trail]

It’s like a river and a school and shit

[late terrace]

optiver imc flow are the three big dutch firms

[sinful locust]

Flow

[quaint bolt]

I keep forgetting

[jaunty cove]

why do hfts have another company called "x securities"

[uneven sand]

akuna is aussie

[jaunty cove]

Epic

[sinful locust]

Flow trading mental math is hard

[quaint bolt]

I've heard optiver traders are crème de la crème

[uneven sand]

why would akuna start in australia

there's nothing there

[quaint bolt]

at least the ones who survive

[versed kestrel]

is seatgeek any good?

[quaint bolt]

they're really good and make a lot

[jaunty cove]

why citsec and not citadel

[uneven sand]

yea optiver pays a shit ton if you're smart

[sinful locust]

oh yeah for sure

[low vale]

is optiver trading just as cutthroat as citadel?

[sinful locust]

whats the turnover

yea

[uneven sand]

citsec seems to have better engineering culture

[sinful locust]

https://www.flowtraders.com/sites/flowtraders-corp/files/pdfs/Practice-Math-Test_4.pdf

[uneven sand]

and better wlb

[quaint bolt]

it's not cutthroat I don't think it's just if you don't generate enough alpha or whatever you're gone

but tenured qrs or traders make like 7 figs

[uneven sand]

yea im going to fail my final tmr 🤡

[quaint bolt]

you don't need to sacrifice your social life to get quant

[low vale]

idc too much about quant places cuz i wanna be a swe either way

[quaint bolt]

wagon man is proof

[sinful locust]

probably just have to work hard to get to that point

[low vale]

no need to sacrifice the social life

[jaunty cove]

i thought citadel was higher prestige i must have read something wrong

[sinful locust]

do people stay at quant > 10 years

prestige doesnt rlly matter ig

[low vale]

they retire at the tenth year

[jaunty cove]

did you read textbooks outside of school to understand quant trading

[quaint bolt]

don't think so

they all move to tech at some point

[zealous trail]

Lol

[zealous trail]

Retire

[uneven sand]

i've heard quant swe doesn't pay that much more than tech after a few years

[jaunty cove]

the extent of my research is "what is the difference between citadel and citsec" google search

[sinful locust]

meta scales very fast

idk about the others

probably netflix too

[quaint bolt]

the only books I read outside of school are recreational books

[sinful locust]

but meta catches up within 5 years maybe

[quaint bolt]

I have ddia but haven't read it yet

[low vale]

idk too much about swe pay, i just look at levels and thats where i want to work

🙃

[zealous trail]

Sort high to low

[sinful locust]

[quaint bolt]

oh yeah true they just retire

[jaunty cove]

thats impressive i feel like i need to read a lot to understand whats going on

[uneven sand]

it's the traders that make the big boy money

[cold path]

cope

[uneven sand]

[cold path]

DRT pays way more than tech

forever

[sinful locust]

i mean swe 400 is still great

[jaunty cove]

is there a quant swe quant trader pipeline if you study stats

[quaint bolt]

I heard DRT new grad is 1mil

how to build trading intuition

[cold path]

facts

[jaunty cove]

trade

[sinful locust]

whats drt

[uneven sand]

yea but i bet the traders are the ones pushing 7 figs

[sinful locust]

probably are

[uneven sand]

i can't imagine a ui engineer making 7 figs for a react component

[sinful locust]

im sure swes can get 800

[clever grail]

how much time allowed

[cold path]

@queen raven sup

[ivory ocean]

Guys

[sinful locust]

10 minutes

[quaint bolt]

optiver traders who've been around for like 3 or more years apparently make that kinda cash

[sinful locust]

and 75 questiosn

thats only part of it

[ivory ocean]

Is 2 years the recommended time for job hopping cuz that’s when first RSUs tend to vest?

[clever grail]

💀

[uneven sand]

it's also super performance (both you and company) driven right

[jaunty cove]

do all this in 10 minutes for the interview?

[sinful locust]

i think its more

[uneven sand]

like your pay could fluctuate a ton year to year

[sinful locust]

yeah

[jaunty cove]

i think optiver asks this

[sinful locust]

i think its similar, idk if its more

[naive kayak]

yea

[low vale]

wtf, stay with the company, company loyalty bro smh

[uneven sand]

i've heard optiver pays more

[low vale]

I think I'll probably try and job-hop every 2-3 years

[uneven sand]

but we're talking about the top 0.001% kind of people

[late terrace]

the big monies is QR but that’s a whole other beast

[zealous trail]

Why would u wanna be a trader tho 🤢

[quaint bolt]

why don't optiver and imc have nyc offices

[uneven sand]

some rando cs bozo getting piped day 2

[jaunty cove]

@quaint bolt last question is DDIA the klepmann -- Designing Data-Intensive Applications

[cold path]

chicago is basically nyc but worse 🙄

[uneven sand]

is optiver just austin and chicago

[jaunty cove]

Thanks for your help

[cold path]

whos austin

is he nice

[low vale]

last question for where?

[quaint bolt]

I agree (haven't been to chicago or nyc in 10+ years)

[jaunty cove]

i was asking him questions and i didnt want to imply that i was gonna keep spammig him

[late terrace]

@sinful locust someone needs ur help on gtcsd

[jaunty cove]

bc i noticed whenever people talk about getting quant offers 10 people ask them a lot of questions and it prob gets annoying

[quaint bolt]

wow mr colin that's so nice of you

[zealous trail]

Dms off friend requests off

Block everyone

[quaint bolt]

the amount of dms I've gotten after I processed akuna

[late terrace]

i mean just look how many times quant has been mentioned in this server

[zealous trail]

Akuna

[jaunty cove]

chat is just a bunch of blocked messages

[quaint bolt]

Akuna

[zealous trail]

Can I dm u abt Akuna process acc?

😳

[cold path]

I got a lot of dms after i processed toelands as well so i get it

[white urchin]

Not everyone dmed because if akuna

[muted summit]

wagons how you study for interviews

[sinful locust]

is qr wlb > or < than trader

[quaint bolt]

sure but only you

[jaunty cove]

i even got 5 dms when i got amazon oa 🤦‍♂️

[sinful locust]

i got like 10 dms for akuna process idk why

[zealous trail]

Akuna is goated

[low vale]

wait what role did you get akuna for, they have like 7

[cold path]

Hey has anyone done amazon oa? Any tips?

[sinful locust]

c++ legends

[zealous trail]

He got all 7

[white urchin]

Rng

[zealous trail]

Dox

That’s me irl

[jaunty cove]

[quaint bolt]

I don't

[sinful locust]

why cant they reply after final within 1 week

[muted summit]

maybe thats the secret

[cold path]

wagon just is built different

[jaunty cove]

the interviews prepare for me

[sinful locust]

im looking forward to optiver

[cold path]

hes never done a lc question outside of an interview before

he just knows how to answer them

[quaint bolt]

exactly

[jaunty cove]

his brain is a hashmap of leetcode question answer pairs

[sinful locust]

does c++ even ask lc

[quaint bolt]

ood and c++ trivia

[sinful locust]

ah

[jaunty cove]

did you do the OA

[sinful locust]

so python is ood and python trivia and lc

[uneven sand]

guys is not hearing back after akuna phone for almost a week now a bad sign

[sinful locust]

yeah im on third round

[cold path]

c++ trivia?? like what

[jaunty cove]

nvm

[uneven sand]

i thought i did well

[cold path]

what is a pointer

[sinful locust]

which position

[jaunty cove]

optiver isnt the one that asks a fck ton of c++ trivia in the oa

its akuna

[uneven sand]

data tooling

[low vale]

no

[sinful locust]

hmm then idk

ML took 3 weeks

[low vale]

i got mine at 2 weeks

my final*

[sinful locust]

so im assuming they take very long after final

but im losing hope

[uneven sand]

im still waiting on python dev result after oa

it's been a month i think

[sinful locust]

python dev took 1 week for me

[uneven sand]

yea they're really slow now

[sinful locust]

hopefully

[cold path]

what if u apply@for c++ position and get an interview and when they ask u questions abt c++ u say uve never used it before. then what

[low vale]

python dev is somehow still going for me

[uneven sand]

early on, they would give me accept/reject after OA in a week

[low vale]

lmao

[sinful locust]

i have a thread of hope

[quaint bolt]

Unironically one of the most chad alums I know who's at JS rn has never done lc just school's dsa course

[uneven sand]

but now it's taking a month

[sinful locust]

i sent a connection request to my recruiter on linkedin

hopefully that makes her remember

[quaint bolt]

benches 225, took gf on a trip to bora bora

[uneven sand]

my interviewer said i should hear back the same day or early this week

looks like that was a farce

[sinful locust]

same

[jaunty cove]

i think the only way u can be hella good at leetcode without studying dsa or grinding leetcode is being ridiculously good at math

[sinful locust]

they said theyd get back soon

[cold path]

send them angry email

[muted summit]

my schools dsa was so ass

[sinful locust]

but they asked me for my other processes first

[uneven sand]

idk how to contact them

[white zinc]

does anyone know if business dev interns at js get paid well

[uneven sand]

they have a pretty generic asian name

[sinful locust]

probaby get paid well

[sinful locust]

initials?

[uneven sand]

KL

nvm i found them

[white zinc]

but like 96 an hour well yk

[uneven sand]

damn man went to waterloo

[cold path]

of course he did

[quaint bolt]

you also go to loo

[cold path]

w*terloo students 🤮

so true

[sinful locust]

do some places take forever to respond cause they wanna evaluate against other interviewees

[white zinc]

wish i went to waterloo

tryna do 5 internships before i graduate

[quaint bolt]

hmm I feel like this is mainly quant

[cold path]

simply take a year off school🙄

[quaint bolt]

if you do well, moves like lightning

[white zinc]

u have a point

[sinful locust]

yea then im probably on the fence

screw me

[uneven sand]

oh shit im fucked for drw then

it's been almost 3 weeks now

[quaint bolt]

they heard back about imc offer the day after final

[jaunty cove]

good luck

[sinful locust]

Glllllll

[quaint bolt]

gl

mine was ez clap dw

[sinful locust]

My LinkedIn final has three interviewers

Very pressurizing

Wowww

3 at the same?

Two senior engineering managers

or 3 interviews

And one regular engineer

Idk

[jaunty cove]

thats scary

[sinful locust]

It just lists three

waz

[jaunty cove]

my interviewer today is a guy whos been programming in C for decades

and i listed C as a skill on my resume

[safe minnow]

💀

[sinful locust]

I’m gonna assume one engineering manager for the behavioral part and one engineering manager and regular engineer for technical part

[zealous trail]

My experience is quant firms move very fast with deadlines in play

[sinful locust]

My datadog final has two senior engineers too

Not regular

[quaint bolt]

oh right this more than interview performance

although I'm not sure how much they value non-quant offers tho

[sinful locust]

i think it depends

[jaunty cove]

youre supposed to wear a button down shirt right

[uneven sand]

non quants are peasants tbh

[sinful locust]

Nah

If it’s not a bank

[quaint bolt]

I go shirtless

[jaunty cove]

can i wear a polo

[sinful locust]

Wife eater is ok

SIG only asked for other firms

[zealous trail]

They always ask who bro lmaoooo so I assume they don’t

[sinful locust]

nothing else

SIG was weird af in the behavioral

[zealous trail]

Wanna know which companies to know if they give a shit

[jaunty cove]

lmao

[sinful locust]

they were like "do you play poker"

[uneven sand]

i play poker

[zealous trail]

Pics?

I’m at the beach rn

So I’m shirtless

[uneven sand]

pics or fake

[jaunty cove]

the interview is just playing poker against 4 other quant traders

[sinful locust]

i see you

look behind you

[uneven sand]

there are no beaches in michigan?

[sinful locust]

imagine being on discord at the beach

waz

[quaint bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/thor-chris-hemsworth-handsome-hot-son-of-odin-gif-16645516

[uneven sand]

lake beach is not a real beach

[sinful locust]

touch sand

[late terrace]

do they ask for offers or in interview process

[sinful locust]

both

[quaint bolt]

bro I've gone to the beach so much this past summer I'm actually tired

[sinful locust]

I wanna work at Pinterest

[zealous trail]

???

[sinful locust]

its just weird to ask for processes after doing a final, and without giving a decision

[quaint bolt]

came back tanned af

[uneven sand]

lake beaches are just midwesterners coping

[cold path]

vancouver beaches r not real beaches btw

[sinful locust]

Mmmmm wagons I want your tanned skin all over me 😫😫

[cold path]

fake beach

[quaint bolt]

L + skill issue

[sinful locust]

[quaint bolt]

just bc you weren't there during prime beach time

[zealous trail]

I’m in Canada tho

[uneven sand]

ok that's even worse

canadian beaches probably have icebergs in them

[zealous trail]

Also it’s September

[quaint bolt]

what the where

[uneven sand]

he hopped the border

[cold path]

i was there during prime rain time

[zealous trail]

LSPP

[woeful lynx]

Whoever said palantir Karat is graph heavy stuff was right 😂 if you don’t know your BFS/DFS you are screwed 😂

[uneven sand]

lake superior

[ivory ocean]

No more job hopping, the latest recession patch removed that meta. I think the new meta is company loyalty

[uneven sand]

just go to LA or something

[zealous trail]

Aren’t u at school? Huge L

[cold path]

its called superior for a reason btw

[uneven sand]

[cold path]

its cause its better

[ivory ocean]

Kill them

[cold path]

than all the other lakes

[ivory ocean]

For embarrassing you with an IT offer

[uneven sand]

yea just like how i call my dick "enormous"

[ivory ocean]

One of them knows how to print hello world in scratch

But idk which

[uneven sand]

technical recruiter recruits for technical roles

[jaunty cove]

what vscode / vim theme do u guys use

[wooden shard]

is dropbox oa auto?

[versed kestrel]

dracula

[cold path]

atom one dark

[jaunty cove]

both good options

[plush viper]

i didnt get it yet

[clever grail]

catppuccin and deus

[uneven sand]

idk

they're still a recruiter so probably not

but they just specialize in recruiting for technical roles

[ivory ocean]

I use vi, I find vim too ez

So I took the m off

[jaunty cove]

adderall taken, headphones on, time to grind

[random mauve]

breh people really take adderall for studying lc?

[jaunty cove]

breh people really have mental illnesses and take their prescriptions?

cringe

[mild pond]

I always take a double dose of prozac before lc

Stops the tears

[oak drift]

wtf

people already getting drop box oas?

[jaunty cove]

oh pog

i will apply

[oak kite]

i applied and i didn't get an oa

[jaunty cove]

is dropbox very tough to pass screen

[slow quarry]

@woven quest joined u brother for Instabase

[hallow scroll]

probably theyre a unicorn i think or something right

[jaunty cove]

dropbox ipod in 2018 apparently

idk what that means

can a unicorn ipo

is a unicorn private

[placid pelican]

yes

unicorn is just a private company valued at 1b right?

[woeful lynx]

After how many days did you hear back from HRT? (After OA)

[jaunty cove]

2 weeks

[woeful lynx]

I assume rejection?

[jaunty cove]

[woeful lynx]

Didn’t want to be rude but I heard they reject everyone 😅😅😅

[jaunty cove]

yes

[placid pelican]

how was the oa btw

[jaunty cove]

codesignal

easy

standard

[lean pewter]

the algo dev one gaped me

[placid pelican]

nice 🙂

i have that one

[jaunty cove]

oh

i did something else

[placid pelican]

they have a pandas question lol

frick that

[jaunty cove]

what role did you apply for

algo dev

nvm

[woeful lynx]

CodeSignal is quite easy in my opinion. Hackerrank is way harder 🥲

[placid pelican]

i agree

[woeful lynx]

I was expecting Optiver hackerrank to be again 2 days but now it’s 2h….

[jaunty cove]

its not too bad imo

specifically the optiver hackerrank

[zealous trail]

Good practice tho

[jaunty cove]

is your cs curriculum enough to understand how to answer C++ trivia like on the akuna oa

[zealous trail]

Yup

[oak kite]

what kind of C++ triviia did you need to know?

[jaunty cove]

templates move semantics

rvalues lvalues

[oak kite]

rip

[jaunty cove]

yea

[zealous trail]

We learn almost exclusively c++

[jaunty cove]

do you have any recommendations for someone to self study that kind of stuff

textbooks etc

that u guys use in class

[zealous trail]

cppreference

Very very good

[jaunty cove]

👍

thank u

[proper breach]

Does snowflake sends OA to everyone?

[jaunty cove]

everyone just got one i think

[low hornet]

This why you guys should do trading

[jaunty cove]

ima go in

[low hornet]

No cpp ba

Bs

[jaunty cove]

i have no idea how to go into trading, swe seems more straightforward since you can get really good at coding

[low hornet]

Just don’t get math questions wrong

[zealous trail]

That’s exactly why I do swe tho

[low hornet]

That’s my philosophy

[placid pelican]

its the same thing except be good at math

and logic puzzles

[sinful locust]

https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazon-ceo-charts-slower-hiring-following-pandemic-boom-11662583104

damn bruh

[jaunty cove]

is there a way i can go faang swe -> quant swe -> quant trader

im just not going to pass resume screens with a low gpa out of college

[low hornet]

After the age of 1 I never got math wrong. I rewired my brain to think in terms of expectations

[placid pelican]

no

its impossible

[low hornet]

Kinda hard ngl.

Swe is still understandable

Trader would be big risk

[jaunty cove]

which link is harder

[low hornet]

Swe to trader

Yh

[jaunty cove]

ok

what if i went back and did a masters in math later

[placid pelican]

its also firm dependent

[jaunty cove]

or smth

idk

[low hornet]

Only like Jane street has a conversion programme iirc

[jaunty cove]

am i too old

[zealous trail]

?

[placid pelican]

trading isnt sustainable imo

long hours stressful

[jaunty cove]

sustainable as a career

[placid pelican]

yes

[jaunty cove]

ok

it sounds really fun though

im sad i missed out

[low hornet]

Cope

[placid pelican]

ur value as a trader can be determined

[oak kite]

trading you get paid on how good you are though

[placid pelican]

with a number

[oak kite]

bonuses can be 3x your base salary

[placid pelican]

nah i agree its cool

[frosty mulch]

hey guys, my citadel offer expires monday and i have hrt phone coming up. How do I ask for an extension?

[low hornet]

Ong only reason I’m in trading

[random mauve]

is snowflake oa auto?

[low hornet]

Bro I’m pulling a triple renege

[white urchin]

Yes

[placid pelican]

its just id rather do it when im young

[zealous trail]

Say you’re going on vacation? Or just renege

[jaunty cove]

i know im not a genius but i believe i do have the skills and the dedication to become a competitive candidate one day, unfortunately i guess im late to the game

[random mauve]

wait i thought i was special

[jaunty cove]

😦

[placid pelican]

isnt it auto

theyll reject u later

[frosty mulch]

yeah thats one option.. Is it bad to be honest and say I need more time to get hrt

[jaunty cove]

do you know a way i can do something thats about as fun as quant trading if i missed the opportunity to get into quant trading

[zealous trail]

Yes don’t do that

[frosty mulch]

damn bro what companie

[jaunty cove]

even if it pays less

idk if i applied i hvent kept track of anything

[random mauve]

no, you're special

[late terrace]

@low hornet how u so cracked bro

[quaint bolt]

IMC’s expediting my process

[placid pelican]

i dont think u "missed" anything

think of it like the nba

[quaint bolt]

I knew farming those offers would come in handy

[low hornet]

Akuna qt, two sigma qr, gonna be citadel qr and optiver trader soon 💀

[placid pelican]

ur prime for trading is in ur 20s

after that ur too old and slow

[low hornet]

Just gotta get those last 3 finals in the bag

[zealous trail]

Ye they will do that. V nice

[low hornet]

And I’m chilling

[placid pelican]

and dumb

[jaunty cove]

damn

[quaint bolt]

Just did HR phone

She said you typically hear back within 1-2 weeks but she’s gonna try and push mine to be faster bc of my offers

[frosty mulch]

you dont care about burning bridges?

[quaint bolt]

I don’t think she expected me to pull out 4 offers

[jaunty cove]

how did you make yourself competitive for quant trading other than gpa target school

[quaint bolt]

Bro tell them to put a deadline on it wtf

[low hornet]

I can deal with that later. Maybe it’s dumb but I just want the best company rn

[random apex]

no fucking way i get this during HRT OA

[uneven sand]

benchling is really selective dw

[quaint bolt]

They nerfing your negotiating power fr

[hardy patrol]

do they ask for the offer letter to verify

[random apex]

they rugged me so badly

[zealous trail]

No

[hardy patrol]

like i only have the email from my last company asking to reapply

[hardy patrol]

lets goo

[placid pelican]

research in ugrad probably helps a lot. in cs/math

[low hornet]

Tell them you add fast

Instant opti offer

[jaunty cove]

Lol

[jaunty cove]

Ok dope

[late terrace]

trader or swe

[jaunty cove]

im hoping to do a little research my last year here
