jaunty cove
how the fck do you get even 130
i literally type all day on my keboard every day and i can only get 120
dusk kayak
how do you get 100 💀
tired narwhal
i literally type all day on my keboard every day and i can only get 120

why u doing system design tho hhh
i wouldnt worry too much bout it unless ur ft / doing swe2 roles
jaunty cove
why u doing system design tho hhh
because i dont know ohw to design systems

Web application and software architecture 101
Can take this on educative.io instead, u can get it for free as a student

why not just learn those topics seperately
dusk kayak
Web application and software architecture 101
that's what sys design is or that's all you need
tired narwhal
Web application and software architecture 101 <- will be more helpful if u are junior looking to understand the foundations of how systems come together, without having to know the scalable parts

the problem is I'm stupid and actually want to build stuff in my free time
so I'll fs look into it after interview season
tired narwhal
the problem is I'm stupid and actually want to build stuff in my free time

embedded system devs
you see the problem is i can do this but ask me a problem with BFS and i crumble
tired narwhal
u can just say i assume i hae a heap
dusk kayak
so i need to be more well rounded
tired narwhal
nah they let u do any language
js is one of them, ik for sure, know someone who got offer using js
slow quarry

i didnt use any slurs i just shit on my teammates whenever they fked up
that got you PERMAD

whenever anyone would shit on me i would get into a big argument with them

waste of time with no upside and a downside of just getting banned from acceptance
jaunty cove
it will satisfy your obsession with getting the OA for 15 minutes and then you will start stressing about whether you fked up by emailing them
if ur anything like me
like how goku got amazon offer and 15 minutes later he was pinging people how to get into citadel and meta
dusk kayak
honestly i stopped chasing what wasnt in grasp after G last year
precumming for OA/offer is so terrible
😭
jaunty cove
when do you ahve time to be happy
"i just need the interview -> i just need the internship offer -> i just need the return offer -> i just need the promotion"
dusk kayak
when do you ahve time to be happy
this is exactly what im saying, chasing offers gives you dopamine for a minute but honestly you need to have an actual hobby
hell, programming can even be your hobby
it just needs to be not chasing TC or a new job
jaunty cove
leetcode started as a way for me to get a job now its a hobby
that is intrinsically fun for me
dusk kayak
like im trying to shift into programming for fun again and its so liberating vs doing it for a job
I need to do more leetcode ngl 💀
jaunty cove
what kind of stuff are you doing for fun
dusk kayak
and thats okay, most people use it as a means to make money
jaunty cove
nothing -> programming -> manual labor

you are right
its not actually hard
i cant do most lc hards

leetcode runtime will forever be a meme it's so funny
as long as my time complexity is optimal i move on

but i guess its pretty fast if it beats 100%

There was 2 entire chapters on heaps
Actually 3

One was called 2 heaps
uneven sand
2 heaps is a really specific technique tho
hardy patrol
uneven sand
but in general heaps let you get the largest (or smallest if it’s a min heap) element in logn time

K nearest neighbors is one
uneven sand
heaps are what priority queues are usually made from
jaunty cove
learning heap really useful

jaunty cove
its not that important imo
hardy patrol
sounds real useful
safe minnow
Heaps are very important
You don't necessarily have to learn it off grokking
But I find myself considering/using it at least every few LC problems
hardy patrol
so heaps are mostly used for questions that ask for min/max of items in a structure?
jaunty cove
generally
hardy patrol
wtf that sounds major
hardy patrol
really needs to be this one stop resource for every lc algo it would cut down on wasted time

Yea I was really gunning for amazon though but they didnt give me an OA and its been 3 months now so I lost hope

Ive been hearing that for amazon canada theyre reaching their quota so Im not too optimistic

Fair fair
Its just hella discouraging to see other people get OAs when you have 3 internships and are getting ghosted, a couple people I know haven't ever touched LC and somehow got amazon OAs
Hopefully it works out Ig

i am also worried about this tho how can it be that random
oak kite
sometimes recruiters can make mistakes
agile yew
well i just hope they make a mistake when my turn come around 😛
deep valley
Yea I had to help with hiring for my first internship and its pretty rng tbh
What made me feel better is that by applying to as many places as you can you're bound to get lucky
But getting lucky seems to never want to happen
oak kite
just don't stop applying
interns renege all the time
the reason i got my internship was because an intern renege
agile yew
how screwed are you if u dont have an internship for soph year
oak kite
jail
deep valley
Sophmore year isn't a big deal junior to senior it becomes a problem though
If you don't find one you can always help a prof with research or work with a non charity
oak kite
no you go to jail if you don't have a internship by the time you come out the womb
oak kite
you're the guy that had amazon right?
deep valley
Lol I got rejected from atlassain too but thats cause Im canadian and they dont sponsor

Interviewers have implicit bias towards you. And you pass more resume screens
oak kite
o O
you'll be fine
anything other than those 3 have great chances of getting quants
and even those 3 are still pretty good
oak kite
barely any quants reads your transcript until after you accept the offer!
most of them don't even require you to put your gpa
