2023_summer

[jaunty cove]

both but mostly trader

[zealous trail]

Internships help too

Lots of ex amazon traders lol

[jaunty cove]

interesting

i would assume they want something more prestigious no offense to amazon

[zealous trail]

But the most cracked are IMO and such

[zealous trail]

Lol no they will interview u if u can pass the OA

[low hornet]

I just want to commit financial crimes

Only reason I’m here

[zealous trail]

Quant is more meritocratic than ppl think

[random apex]

@quaint bolt i want dead

[quaint bolt]

Don’t

[late terrace]

quants give trader oas very liberally, so interview prep is more important than resume

[placid pelican]

the chicago firms dont rlly care. hella meritocratic

my friend went from cargill-->imc

[jaunty cove]

oh i see so the OAs are maybe tougher but also more meritocratic than the swe OAs

[zealous trail]

There’s really no fucking traders. It’s insane how much they get recruited

[zealous trail]

Devs really starving out here 😭

[quaint bolt]

Damn all these quant firms hiding the fact that you can do 12 weeks instead of 10 smh

[low hornet]

Also if they are prestige whores, company prestige >>> school prestige

Hit up 5r with an offer in hand

[random apex]

wait you guys do 10?

[zealous trail]

Akuna will do 12 for the loo

[quaint bolt]

Oof

[low hornet]

Never seen a reply that fast

[hardy patrol]

oh wtf bloomberg got apps open

[jaunty cove]

like this is just not super helpful for how i am supposed to pass rseume screen lol

[quaint bolt]

Yeah I asked and she said IMC can do 12 too

[zealous trail]

Yoo sauce me? They never respond to me 😐

But I don’t have an email

Wait jk I don’t wanna interview more

[late terrace]

again resume is not that important

[zealous trail]

Fuck that

[placid pelican]

resume screen isnt terrible for chicago firms

[low hornet]

nah I’m not taking 5r

Bad culture

[hardy patrol]

this is so fucking vague

[jaunty cove]

so they will send a lot of OA's that are pretty hard and go from there if you can do well on it

am i understanding you guys correctly

[placid pelican]

yes

[low hornet]

I rlly thought it’d be like js culture but it’s opposite

[jaunty cove]

ok

i like that

[low hornet]

Only girl I want is Jane

The only final that matters tbh

[uneven sand]

ms street

[hardy patrol]

@soft mist bloomberg apps open ⁉️

[jaunty cove]

[zealous trail]

I believe in u

[soft mist]

[jaunty cove]

[slow quarry]

[hardy patrol]

[slow quarry]

yes

[weak wadi]

just got the written return offer from MSFT

nah SWE intern

pay increase compared to last year not enough to account for inflation

gl

[mighty path]

Im waiting for msft to reply to me kek

[queen raven]

my google interviewers hasnt called me yet, its been 9 minutes

hello

[uneven sand]

stream?

glgl

don't fail

dp hards are easy tbh

[queen raven]

i kind of agree, used to think dp was super hard

but then i started prtacting it a lot over last few weeks

and doesnt seem bad at all

[fleet dew]

slowflake oa only c++ right

[slow quarry]

i carried the school prestige for gap

they must have liked my perf from last year

i interviewed last season

wtf

i solved both last year and it guaranteed a phone

[hardy patrol]

@limpid crater do you remember how long it took for nordstrom to get back to you after the second interview

arent phones behavioral

[weak wadi]

eh

most of the time

sometimes they ask technical questions tho

[hardy patrol]

hanging up immediately if they ask lc over the phone

[weak wadi]

Google Technical is phone too

Their final is 2 separate phone calls

45 min 1-2 LC each

although they have you code it on a google doc

[hardy patrol]

bruh

[sick oar]

does msft give l60 return interns?

[weak wadi]

like l60 intern -> NG?

[uneven sand]

linkedin phone is behavioral only

[weak wadi]

I hear LinkedIn is 1 behavioral 1 technical

[sick oar]

intern to l60 ng

[weak wadi]

yep it’s possible

one of the interns on my team got that

[sick oar]

how stacked were they

[weak wadi]

stacked as fuck

Bachelors in CS but they had 1 prior internship at MSFT, 1 at google, 1 at Shopify

[sick oar]

rip the queen

[weak wadi]

Their intern project at MSFT was a full-on feature that they finished on week 9 and shipped to prod by week 11

[sick oar]

did he take msft

[sick oar]

wow

good for him

[weak wadi]

yeah he’s gonna take MSFT, level 60 and some high ass return offer

[sick oar]

sheesh

[weak wadi]

I think it was around 228k TC first year and then like 200ish 2nd year

[sick oar]

im trying to get msft l60 return lmao

for pm

[weak wadi]

they’re not gonna stay past the first few years but then again nobody in the industry does

[sick oar]

tru

[sick oar]

fr bruh

rip

[uneven sand]

that's final

[weak wadi]

pls notice me rito

i think so

It was either databricks or datadog that does auto OA and then resume screens after

[vocal void]

Anyone have tips for LinkedIn final? 🙏🙏🙏

[weak wadi]

practice a lot of LC

It’s the same OA for everyone

The question changes every year

But everyone gets the same OA

went through the process last year and got on a call with a recruiter about the Riot process

It’s like 90-120 minutes (forgot the exact time) to do a LC Hard split into 5 separate questions

Yep

Last year was a 2d matrix m

The year before was too

nope

it was 2d matrix, variation of one of the most popular LC questions

Since it was last year and they don’t reuse the same questions I can reveal I think

It was a variation of ||sudoku solver||

[sinful locust]

RIP

[oak kite]

@sinful locust what kind of company would you take over riot?

interesting

what about the other faangs?

thumbs up emote

[weak wadi]

aye

The process is pretty straightforward

[oak kite]

are you a junior this semester?

[weak wadi]

The OA is the only coding you do in the entire riot games process

make sure to remember your implementation for the OA

[oak kite]

i got the amazon offer, but i lowkey don't want to go unless i have to

[weak wadi]

if you pass through you’ll be sat down with an engineer after phone screen and you’ll be spending an entire hour going over it

I’ve got the recruiter email if you want it

Aye

Best of luck my friend

4/5

The fifth question is technically just a bonus

So 1 is the set-up where they warm you up (freebie)

2-4 is the actual implementation that builds off the last

5 is a variation if you finish 4 that is more optimal if you have the time

but you need at least 4/5 to pass

I had 3.7777 because I TLE’d some TC in Q4 and didn’t get through last year

[oak kite]

so close :(

[weak wadi]

The OA is the weed out for like 90% of the candidates so I bet

Riot games OA

[jaunty cove]

the winter dream is over

[jaunty cove]

Lmfao

https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ripbozo

some of these are so

bad

i dont think i can post them here

[limpid crater]

Like a month and a half ish

[low vale]

For what company?

[quaint bolt]

Oh I thought it was p ez

Mine weren’t from b75 or any list anywhere either

[low vale]

Make them known (this was a joke, Im not in Databricks process)

[jaunty cove]

am i allowed to link to a leetcode discuss that shows questions for an interview

for a company

[low vale]

Did you just do it?

Yeah it's 3 pretty straightforward questions in 45 min

Practice your typing skills

[hardy patrol]

holy shit they take their time

[low vale]

They're long

[quaint bolt]

That’s fine

[limpid crater]

I think I knew ppl who got response quicker

[quaint bolt]

Prince Charles is like 70 no? Ripe age to be a king

[hardy patrol]

im hoping cause i got cap1 and ibm to do too

[low vale]

?

[hardy patrol]

i would win

[low vale]

I don't wanna get drafted

I always lose games

[jaunty cove]

or you got unlucky

but it sounds like you passed

[quaint bolt]

I guess I’m just built different

[low vale]

🤔

[jaunty cove]

Lol

[low vale]

Wait then how wouldn't most people here be able to do them?

There's not a big resume screen or anything it's just the auto oa

[terse sonnet]

how long after roblox final does one receive response

[low vale]

I messed up the creativity one but I did very good at plague inc

[woeful lynx]

recruiter said that I should receive 3 emails for 3 different OA in the next few mins… (was 4h ago) so far I only got 2 emails 😅

[safe minnow]

When did you apply?

[low vale]

I hope one of those spots go to me

🙏

Nah probably not

Ik people with shit schools and resumes who got in

So people can certainly get past roblox resume screen without a great school

Not the biggest deal

[late terrace]

yea i pass with only 842

but i think i did very well on the cog

[low vale]

I check my email every couple of hours hoping for roblox offer

[terse sonnet]

when’d u take final

[low vale]

2 days ago

Lmao

[terse sonnet]

i took mine yesterday lol

😭😭

[low vale]

Why would they make you do something and not care about it if it takes like an hour to do

[safe minnow]

I heard roblox return offers were very cut throat

[low vale]

I got perfect on foxes 99 percent sure

But I got ratioed by the bots

Maybe but some people got crazy numbers like 7

My maps was one that you could get 7 on

I got 2

[safe minnow]

I feel like the fox thing

Was if you got it

You could get it in under 15 minutes

If you didn't

Then it would be hard with many hours

Kinda thing

[slow quarry]

821 + meta +rippling

[low vale]

That's cracked asf

[slow quarry]

no i woke up at 12

will do online for today

[low vale]

I got instarejected

[slow quarry]

wait the link doesnt work can u send lol

[low vale]

How'd you find out you went to the same school?

[clever grail]

🐐

[sinful locust]

i should probably ask recruiter to move to summer

for ppl that asked how did you phrase it

did you just ask if its possible, or did you mention that you wanted to, etc.?

[late terrace]

when u get an outlook notification
when its just a school related email

[frank knoll]

What happened

[white urchin]

[slow quarry]

1opn

[white urchin]

[low vale]

Yo can I talk to someone who took the roblox final apparently some people didn't get a 3-parter

I literally got 3 problems wtf is this

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[late terrace]

[low vale]

nah it was one problem but 3 different things to code up

[low vale]

yeah

[white urchin]

quite a bit of people tbh

[late terrace]

lc or ood?

[low vale]

so that's why i said 3-parter

yeah but one person got a simple lc question

45 behavioral 45 technical

[white urchin]

how many went through

[oak kite]

at least you got a phone @wary whale

im STILL waiting for linkedin even after perfect oa finished in 30 minutes

[white urchin]

yea like > 5 or > 10

wow, maybe I just didn't look properly

anyone heard back for summer yet

for final

[frank knoll]

What?? Why? What did they say to you over email

[golden root]

Bruh I did my LinkedIn phone 10 days ago and haven’t heard back, I think the people who get thru the process early are getting screwed

[oak kite]

[golden root]

[novel lily]

[novel lily]

[past comet]

wtffff

[uneven sand]

[past comet]

[sinful locust]

[thorn nimbus]

Ok cool. I didn’t apply yet cuz I was confused why it was open for so long and nobody was getting through the process all summer

I’ll apply soon then

[jaunty cove]

[fervent geyser]

Cant do 4

[stoic latch]

800+ pre sure

[fervent geyser]

I have 822, but i dont know

[stoic latch]

822 is good enough for 124 im guessing

[fervent geyser]

Yall smart cookies.

[sterile pewter]

im submitting my 780 so I'll let everyone know

[jaunty cove]

[marsh tartan]

I also got mail from Samsara

whats the coding assesment

[fervent geyser]

codesignal?

[stoic latch]

Code signal

[marsh tartan]

yes code signal

[fervent geyser]

made me feel bad for taking 3 hours on leetcode easy

[glad garnet]

has anyone seen a linked list problem on an oa before?

[marsh tartan]

did you give the test?

[fervent geyser]

I have codesignal test from HRT. I got 822 back then

Didnt move onto HRT process lol

[marsh tartan]

not from samsara?

[jaunty cove]

one more day until i can use the fake codesignal test link for a verified score without actually having an OA request

[stoic latch]

Can you use old codesignal for samsara?

or is it exclusive

[fervent geyser]

No. The score I have rn is from HRT. Its random generated questions tho afaik

[fallen tide]

literally me

[fervent geyser]

I think u can. Im debating same thing rn

[marsh tartan]

ooo

imma give my test rn

codesignal 🤞

send send

[jaunty cove]

the best way to laern what the test bank is

is to do the practice tests

they dont make the bank publically available XD

i dont think that would be a good business model

[fervent geyser]

Facts

[jaunty cove]

what

im intriguied

they probably didnt like the shirt you were wearing

[fallen tide]

like what were the questions u were asked

[stoic latch]

Really?

[jaunty cove]

dude its a codesignal

[stoic latch]

my wifi literally shut off and i joined like 2 min later

[marsh tartan]

yes

[stoic latch]

and i still got accepted

[marsh tartan]

its my first time idk what it is shit

[lilac kestrel]

does amazon care if u renege

[jaunty cove]

didnt n3 get resume screened cause he reneged

[stoic latch]

Code signals have like 100+ q

the bank is huge you won't get the same q

is it actually

feel like it's more ngl

[jaunty cove]

damn i spend 20 minutes applying to this place and it requires a cover letter

dont ask me why i want to work for your company, idk what your company does

💀

guys im fcked

these are the companies for which ucsb is a target school

[oak kite]

seatgeek aint half bad

[lilac kestrel]

didn’t accept but waiting for google team match seems risky

[jaunty cove]

oh

seatgeek is a company that does what one of my failed projects was supposed to do

[golden root]

Lol mine is mostly just defense contractors

[jaunty cove]

yea handshake isnt super accurate cause there are a lot of defense contractors here

raytheon and (idk any others but they exist)

N-bombs

largest area in grid without survivors

[golden root]

I got them all, raytheon, Northrop, caci, cae, lockheed

[stoic latch]

[uneven sand]

Buy and Sell Weapons to Saudi Arabia III

@hearty river

[jaunty cove]

is this greed

greedy

i didnt check my handshake for so long

missed amazon google and other ppl

[mighty path]

Handshake lmao

[uneven sand]

yea the solution is to just keep on selling and decrement from taxpayer money

[mighty path]

Shits an entire bot network

[jaunty cove]

yea

[mighty path]

No recruiter ever responds ;-;

[jaunty cove]

the company inserts image and name of recruiters, min/max for criteria, and message contents

and target schools

[stoic latch]

is cooldown only after final or oa

[sterile pewter]

do you know how long cooldown is?

[coarse marten]

6m

[slow veldt]

does linkedin have a cooldown 😦

for oa

[elfin peak]

Is samsara OA auto? Lmao

[slow veldt]

fuuuuuuck

[queen raven]

[hardy patrol]

[limpid crater]

company values align and skills align

[hardy patrol]

good answer

[echo lynx]

Hey ma people.
What do you guys think about submitting an 823 CodeSignal score?

Is that enough for maybe DropBox?

Ah really?

You think it's a goofy question?

[fathom hazel]

Amazon slows down hiring 😦

[little yew]

did anyone get salesforce hackerrank

god of amazon, jeff bezos

please shine yr blessing light

"slow down" not freeze

😢

[safe minnow]

Scale ai

[fathom hazel]

u already failed amazon so this news doesn't impact u

i am prepared

a lot of Amazon hackerrank OA question is online so u can prep a little before

the question is very long though 😐

[hardy patrol]

applying to stripe 😈

230k tc is ridiculous

[fathom hazel]

hmm, i got 12/15 with referral

[little yew]

got ghosted :((((

[hardy patrol]

do they resume screen or auto oa

[little yew]

no auto oa

[fathom hazel]

study that one, i got that one in my OA

[little yew]

they ask for u to fill out untapped just like lyft and benchling

[limpid crater]

same, thats like 90% of my apps

[hardy patrol]

ngl never did untapped

[fathom hazel]

bruh same

[little yew]

same, except like 99%

[jaunty cove]

k closest points to origin in On is a ridiculously hard problem if u dont know what quick select is, it basically just a test if you know the algorithm or not

[fathom hazel]

one passed all tests, one 12/15 i think

and then work behavior test

[limpid crater]

this season felt harder compared to when i finished freshmen year w/ 0 exp

[sinful locust]

same

but with no big n

[jaunty cove]

if u hire 17k interns u give up prestige

[oak kite]

where have you been rejected with amazon on your resume?

[fathom hazel]

i got asked that on my OA
its a very good problem u can solve with Heap, QuickSelect is a bit too ad hoc

[jaunty cove]

no

[elfin peak]

Anybody else still waiting for datadog OA 😦

[fathom hazel]

they never accept my application 😦

[limpid crater]

not amazon but yea my internship not helping lol

[oak kite]

i think duolingo gpa screens. Scale AI looks at school.

[limpid crater]

yes

[oak kite]

roblox yeah idk you have to be god

[fathom hazel]

yes

[jaunty cove]

heap is not optimal tho

[fathom hazel]

interesting

[oak kite]

is heap not optimal?

[jaunty cove]

it prob works for an OA not for an interview at a selective company

[oak kite]

isn't quick select O(nlogn)

o

[fathom hazel]

i guess

[oak kite]

no heap is klogn

[jaunty cove]

klogn

sorry

[oak kite]

that takes forever to code though

[jaunty cove]

n + klogn

[fathom hazel]

yes

for heap

nlogn

[jaunty cove]

not if k == n

but

ok fine if k==n you can do

the whole array

but thats stupid

[oak kite]

they require transcripts i believe

[summer sequoia]

who

who @ everyone

[oak kite]

yeah idk

i go to a T10 School had previous internship @ billion downloaded app and got rejected by duolingo

[jaunty cove]

at this point u have done more than good enough for amazon for sure lol

[oak kite]

billion downloads*

gen

[jaunty cove]

jane street to amazon pipeline

[oak kite]

grindr doesn't have a billion downloads LOL

[north portal]

he said tinder

[fathom hazel]

lol

[sinful locust]

do the number of internships matter? I feel like u just need one good one

[oak kite]

i think it does

i think it's like addition

[low vale]

wait tinder has a billion wtf?

[north portal]

idk, like 2-3 low level ones wont be nearly as much as one amazon internship

[fathom hazel]

i think everyone in the world uses it

[sinful locust]

probably diminishing returns after like 3 internships

[jaunty cove]

also heap > quickselect bc of data stream follow up

[north portal]

i mean i think its worth taking anyways

cuz virtu pays pretty well

[low vale]

none of my timelines are done

[safe minnow]

What if someone took the flight but just never did the intervudw

👀

[north portal]

same 😔

[oak kite]

RELEASE META AND GOOGLE ALREADY

[late terrace]

i dont think virtu is on a similiar level, (according to someone frmo js)

[north portal]

i just went off level lmao, they arent like top tier, but they pay around faang level

oh wait then theres no point, 2sigma and citsec are better

[static spindle]

Doesn’t virtu pay the least?

[late terrace]

can i dm u a list (not sure if i can share publicly)

[sinful locust]

no you may not

[north portal]

I wanted amazon this year for the resume boost, because right now I only have Fidelity, but it seems like Amazons just not good enough for top tier firms

will it just get worse next year and onwards?

[sinful locust]

what? amazon is still a great pipeline i think

[oak kite]

amazon has a good name

people go from amazon -> quant all the time

look up linkedin quant firms and see amazon alumni

[sinful locust]

if oversaturated means 15k interns, sure

[north portal]

but is it better than google, apple, and facebook?

i was gonna take it if i got it, but it seemed like amazons name was just not as big as everyone made it out to be

[frosty mulch]

Bro what was your signing bonus for cit

[sinful locust]

signing bonus not hourly

ah ok

did u nego

since u have imc and others

[hollow field]

He did mean k lol

[sinful locust]

[oak kite]

6k is 40% down from last year 10k

[soft basin]

[muted summit]

[soft basin]

isnt google slowing down?

[muted summit]

[hallow scroll]

[sterile pewter]

[sick oar]

[hallow scroll]

[soft basin]

im a lil anxious rn after seeing that news

[little yew]

holy shit that's a lot

[oak kite]

[devout fractal]

[little yew]

databricks takes 60-70 interns

[soft basin]

[versed kestrel]

companies like amazon are fine

[soft basin]

[safe minnow]

[oak kite]

meta definitely but not sure about google

[keen phoenix]

does Databricks do referrals for intern

[cosmic cradle]

damn thats kinda fucked

[frank knoll]

why did you get rejected

[teal marsh]

should have reversed it onto them "no workers for you. bye"

[frank knoll]

is this for winter or summer

[teal marsh]

did anyone take the nordstrom behavioral

[spice jetty]

i met a new grad from last yr and he was given an offer at the end of final yea

[frosty mulch]

@spark hearth what are your gqs offer details

[cosmic cradle]

[frosty mulch]

I'm visiting gqs tmrw

[frank knoll]

i got rejected after the project on hubspot lmao

didnt know javascript as much as i thought i did

i thought it was gonna be easy

and apparently the question is on glassdoor so i shouldve prepared better

yeah i heard they dont even change the questions

i wanna be a mobile dev so idk if the internship is for me anyways

yeah true but i have an offer for summer

so thats why im niching down

[north portal]

hubspot straight up ghosted me

[frank knoll]

linkedin mobile dev

[north portal]

im considering applying again

to frontend this time

[frank knoll]

?

[north portal]

ats?

[frank knoll]

redo yeah. failed the first time, not enough mock interview practice

[north portal]

ah shit, thats probably why

[frank knoll]

bank of america swe

[north portal]

i have good enough OA scores, but the only internship I have rn is fidelity

so not enough name recognition

[frank knoll]

last season i think

idk how people solve 2 questions in 30 min most optimal

like how

is it just practice?

[oak kite]

leetcode a lot

leetcode like you're studying for the mcat

[frank knoll]

i have literally a week until the linkedin final round

[oak kite]

doctors have the mcat, lawyers have the lsat, executives have the gmat, we have leetcode

[frank knoll]

to be the best

😦

[north portal]

I have till december for my capital one interview, im literally taking intro to comp sci rn

hopefully that and leetcode can get me an offer finally

[jaunty cove]

i just realized that i still dont know if this internship is paid or not which means its probably not

😐

[frank knoll]

whats motivating you guys to get into these top tech internships?

yeah thats what i did with bank of america

[jaunty cove]

and i was going to ask if the internship was paid or not in the interview, but then didnt because i was worried i might have missed something in the job description 💀

[frank knoll]

lol

money

[north portal]

check offer letter

[soft basin]

sushiai is here

[jaunty cove]

i will if i get offer letter

lmao

[frank knoll]

for those who got a linkedin offer, how do i best prepare?

[soft basin]

cap one didn’t give me choice to reject on portal

fuck no

[frank knoll]

final

i got final next week lmao

is paying for a service worth it??

like interviewing.io LMAO

idk

they wanna see you communicate as well

[jaunty cove]

i dont have my interviewers' email addresses, should i look them up and thank them for the interview, or should i email the HR person that scheduled the interview?

[pseudo shoal]

just in time to watch goku vs noodles

[jaunty cove]

i thought so too but then people keep saying you should email them afterwards

[fathom hazel]

rubber ducky ?

oh nvm

ye ik

i thought i explain my solution well and concise

but for some reasons interviewers dont understand my solution 😐

[obsidian olive]

hackerrank and codesignal both the worst test systems to exist

hackerrank is beyond stupid

[golden tusk]

Do tagged on leetcode

[versed kestrel]

u mean es6?

[obsidian olive]

same leetcode questions but the description is 124782473892164378216843217x more complicated

[versed kestrel]

it's nice as hell

[fathom hazel]

for reallll

[jaunty cove]

i think its a good sign that the interviewers said "we are out of town until X date, so we couldn't start you until after X date anyway" when I told them the earliest i could start

i think im just spazzing out tho

i will take a 15 hour per week internship even if its unpaid, then i get to learn about C in a professional environemnt which is sick

ik ppl shit on it but i would take it

its during the schoolyear

[obsidian olive]

will literally beef wit any1 defending hackerrank these two Qs are the EXACT SAME look at how much more wordy and complicated the hackerrank one is to understand

[versed kestrel]

nothing beats C hehe

[jaunty cove]

yea but i can get an unpaid one for the schoolyear to learn and put on my resume

[fathom hazel]

😬

[obsidian olive]

whats ecma2022

[jaunty cove]

they do that on purpose to make sure you know how to translate english to code

[obsidian olive]

[versed kestrel]

bleeding edge js years down the line

[obsidian olive]

wdym

[versed kestrel]

it's the newest javascript features

but could be unstable

and won't be used widely for a while

[obsidian olive]

nobody talks like that in an actual technical interview

[jaunty cove]

people do in real life

[obsidian olive]

like ES7?

[jaunty cove]

your clients will

[versed kestrel]

yeah

[obsidian olive]

gr8 im not concerned wit ppl im tryna pass the technical interview

[jaunty cove]

then learn how to translate english to code

like i agree that its dumb but we cant do anything about it

[obsidian olive]

or even better sane idea make the questions understandable

ik

mindblowing

[jaunty cove]

[fathom hazel]

fr, long and dumbass question

[jaunty cove]

me when the interviewer asks me to reverse a palindromic string

[obsidian olive]

what it feels like reading a hackerrank question

[fathom hazel]

the text is 3 times longer than normal leetcode

[jaunty cove]

where is this from

[obsidian olive]

no like it no sense in any technical interview u are told to ask questions to clarify becuz understanding the Q is so important, in hackerrank tho its like

heres a 250 word paragraph of mostly useless info that u have to spend 15 out of ur 30 mins deciphering. Good luck ‼️

[obsidian olive]

google images

[jaunty cove]

ive heard a good amount of interviewers will intentionally ask questions where you should ask clarifying questions

in return

[round zealot]

anyone done the databricks technical?

[obsidian olive]

ye thats what they did in a meta interview i did b4

[obsidian olive]

OA?

[round zealot]

na technical interview

[obsidian olive]

any1 know where the link is to apply for atlassian swe intern?

[jaunty cove]

no

its very very different

[spice jetty]

lmfaooo

[jaunty cove]

vector is like a resizeable array

lists in python arent really arrays

in the traditional sense

indexing a vector is o1

its contiguous block of memory
