[jaunty cove]

The first one?

[frosty brook]

why are people in @shy blade postings applying twice for a position? does that work lmfao

[jaunty cove]

nvm i thought u mena the one where every number appears twice except one

so u xor everything

was it literally just find duplicate nunbers

💀

unique*

Lmfao

And someone else got edit distance solved it and got rjeected

[muted summit]

was it just iterate through the matrix and you return all the values in the set? 💀

[obsidian olive]

i h8 dp

[jaunty cove]

they prob saw ur reusme and didnt need to know much more tbf

[uneven sand]

min stack on amazon final damn

it's not too hard but it's probably on the harder end for amazon intern interviews tbh

[spark hearth]

Can you teach me Edit Distance please? I am having a lot of trouble finding the solution.

Please don't react with skull emoji, it was a serious question.

[sinful locust]

when is google releasing apps lol

[uneven sand]

19

[clever grail]

wait what

[uneven sand]

the trick for min stack isn't trivial especially compared to questions people usually get for amazon lol

[spark hearth]

Thank you, Andy Jassy.

[clever grail]

oh i'm not familiar with what the difficulty ppl get in final

i see

[spark hearth]

Can you show me the solution? I just want to copy and paste it to my LeetCode and get it over with.

[uneven sand]

@spark hearth can you send me a google doc of your amazon lp stories

i just want to borrow it for my final

dw ill change the name

[spark hearth]

No, I cannot. That is academic dishonesty.

[uneven sand]

bro please

ill change the variable names as well

no shot they notice

[jaunty cove]

💀

Watch this video for some tips in Amazon LP stories.

Thank you Andy Jassy.

[uneven sand]

andy jassy what is your tc

also how did you get promo from aws ceo to amazon ceo

im in a similar boat but i need some career guidance

oh

i went to yale so i might be sol

[sinful locust]

i went to yahkuba state school

[spark hearth]

Dear Andy Jassy,
Can I ask a question about your LeetCode solution?
Thanks,
kyoyoberry

Dear Andy Jassy,
Please, it should be really quick.
Thank you,
kyoyoberry

Dear Andy Jassy,
Attached is the LeetCode solution you sent me. I am wondering what the first two if statements represent.
Thanks,
kyoyoberry

class Solution:
    def minDistance(self, word1: str, word2: str) -> int:
        @lru_cache(None)
        def dfs(i, j):
            if i == len(word1):
                return len(word2) - j
            if j == len(word2):
                return len(word1) - i
            if word1[i] == word2[j]:
                return dfs(i + 1, j + 1)
            insert = 1 + dfs(i, j + 1)
            delete = 1 + dfs(i + 1, j)
            replace = 1 + dfs(i + 1, j + 1)
            return min((insert, delete, replace))
        
        return dfs(0, 0)```

[uneven sand]

also why did you solve bottom up

that is cringe

isn't top down -

[spark hearth]

Dear Andy Jassy,
Thank you for responding so quickly. I now see what the first two if statement represents.
Thank you so much,
kyoyoberry

[uneven sand]

class Solution:
    def minDistance(self, word1: str, word2: str) -> int:
        @cache
        def dp(i, j):
            if i < 0 and j < 0:
                return 0
            if i < 0:
                return j + 1
            if j < 0:
                return i + 1
            
            ans = float('inf')
            if word1[i] == word2[j]:
                ans = min(ans, dp(i - 1, j - 1))
            ans = min(ans, 1 + dp(i - 1, j), 1 + dp(i, j - 1), 1 + dp(i-1, j-1))
            return ans
        return dp(len(word1) - 1, len(word2) - 1)

[spark hearth]

Dear ruhhoolnot,
I am not mocking anyone.
Sincerely,
kyoyoberry

[uneven sand]

yes

that makes sense

[spark hearth]

Dear yahkuba matada simp,
Why are you going backwards?
Thanks,
kyoyoberry

[uneven sand]

bc prefixes > suffixes

[spark hearth]

Dear yahkuba matada simp,
Please provide a rigorous proof to your claim.
Thanks,
kyoyoberry

[uneven sand]

"prefix" comes before "suffix" lexographically

QED

ok that's just false

using lru_cache is just begging to lose in code golf

[spark hearth]

Dear yahkuba matada simp,
You are very funny haha.
From,
kyoyoberry

[tawny nimbus]

jesus loves you all

go touch some grass

[uneven sand]

Dear kyoyoberry,
Go work on your Amazon project. It would be a shame to be PIPed on your first day.
Sincerely,
yahkuba matada simp

[spark hearth]

Dear under review,
What would touching grass do? It will just your hands dirty, so I would advice you all to not touch grass.
Thanks,
kyoyoberry

Dear yahkuba matada simp,
My internship starts tomorrow.
Thanks,
kyoyoberry

[uneven sand]

Dear under review,
Did you know that you can get cholera from touching grass?
Sincerely,
yahkuba matada simp

[uneven sand]

Dear kyoyoberry,
Only below-average interns wait until the first day to start. I'm amazed you even passed the Leadership Principles part of the interview.
Sincerely,

yahkuba matada simp

[spark hearth]

Dear yahkuba matada simp,
Excellent observation. After reviewing the Amazon Leadership Principles I now know what I must do.
Thank you,
kyoyoberry

Dear Andy Jassy,
It will first zip the data matrix is pointing to, then reverse it.
Thanks,
kyoyoberry

[uneven sand]

@inner kernel what exactly where you trying to do with that

[jaunty cove]

What happened to this guy

[warped dagger]

ssi asks: ban goku

[obsidian olive]

https://tenor.com/view/kyloren-sad-star-wars-i-know-what-i-have-to-do-adam-driver-gif-11159545

[jaunty cove]

Linkedin would be so cool if there was more trchnical discussion going on

Lmao

What does hn mean?

[sinful locust]

hey guys. has anyone applied for capital one? my workday says technical assessment, but i haven't received anything about a technical assessment anywhere. i applied on august 30th

[spark hearth]

rip

[jaunty cove]

you got blacklisted bro

[sinful locust]

Pain.

[bleak storm]

bruh, first time I ever scored this high in my life

[jaunty cove]

block hack

[bleak storm]

is it just bc block assessment is easy

[jaunty cove]

no its all the same

[bleak storm]

hopefully I can pass and get an interview

bc last time instabase still rejected my ass

[jaunty cove]

its just some weird thing where you can keep retaking the block one

[bleak storm]

ohhhhh

[jaunty cove]

without an invite froma company

[bleak storm]

oh okkk

I just found out this yesterday lmao, should have done way earlier

[jaunty cove]

Same lol

my score improved so much now

[heavy meadow]

hey dude, was this after the first HR (behavioral) round ?

I've had mine a few days ago and no response yet

:-(

yeah im sorry

i just looked at itF

[opal kiln]

ping

[heavy meadow]

F bruh

which location did you apply to? Amsterdam?

[bleak storm]

they also have a similar round for final interview, i screwed up and somehow still got the offer so i don't think it matters too much

[heavy meadow]

after how many days did they get back?

when i asked during the interview, the hr said we'll get back in one day, its been 4 now

[opal kiln]

how many rounds does roblox have?

after oa

what

for?

847

idk who u r

so I presume not

[obsidian olive]

meta internships are out ???

waterloo weird

but interesting . . .

[honest aspen]

Wait where u hear that

We still have no word on when headcount will be done or when return intern/ng offers for non-GE come out

If at all

Greatly exceeds expectations

[obsidian olive]

oh no

[honest aspen]

[crisp berry]

ok

hire me then

if you think that

[obsidian olive]

it wont

[sinful locust]

give me premium

[crisp berry]

give me ghc ticket

[random apex]

@daring totem hi

[weak wadi]

whoops wrong channel to send a meme in

[quaint bolt]

hello

[agile yew]

yo wtf i got rejected from the jp morgan hackathon

i thought it would be easy to get in

maybe i got auto rejected because of international? because i applied to 3 things at jp morgan and all 3 rejected me at the same time

[tough rain]

yeah they can't deal with intl students

[random apex]

ayo hows it going

[oak kite]

Sucks being international :/

[zealous trail]

hi

[hearty river]

hi

[quaint bolt]

good how r u

[quaint bolt]

hello

JS and meta haven't posted yet

[zealous trail]

wagons cant flex how goated he is yet

[zealous trail]

can u not apply to normal js posting?

[oak kite]

Google hasn’t either 😢

[quaint bolt]

yeah I might just do that, thought I'd have better luck internally is all

[quaint bolt]

you go to uw?

[oak kite]

nah

How come?

[quaint bolt]

I was talking about our internal job board

[oak kite]

o yeah that makes sense

[woeful lynx]

Seven Eight Capital already filled all the positions 😅

[soft basin]

good luck!

[zealous trail]

nah bro im not selling u no-offer u got this

literally guaranteed

[agile yew]

im thinking im going to have to go home lmao

i gotta change my major to something non-cs so the clout can come in useful for jobs back home though

[random apex]

slacking off kek

[hallow scroll]

Cuz it’s hardcore behavioral

Unironically biggest screen in their process

[ember thistle]

brooo where is the meta intern app

[bleak storm]

hi yall, hypothetically: dropbox vs datadog?

[soft basin]

nobody knows they might not even do interns this yr

[bleak storm]

My ex recruiter say Sep 19

[soft basin]

that’s for google too

[late terrace]

intern or ft?

[bleak storm]

Intern

My Dropbox offer is expiring in 2 weeks and I don’t think Datadog can lmk before that. Dropbox is also quite small so afraid to renege

[late terrace]

hmm it’s a tossup imo maybe slight lean towards dropbox

[bleak storm]

is dropbox still considered as a growing companies? I feel like besides being stable, many people dislike them and idk why

[fleet tulip]

Wtf shat the bed with db codesignal (721) and got phone

[late terrace]

well for this is for intern right (or are u looking for ft return as well)

[late terrace]

damn nice gl

[fleet tulip]

WLB at both is god tier

[woeful lynx]

Does Tiktok offer visa sponsorship for interns?
Because all the listings contain the phrase:

Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment

[fleet tulip]

Last week?

[modern geyser]

How long does salesforce take to revert back? Did anyone give any interview/oa for salesforce summer?

[bleak storm]

Probably return too

[ember thistle]

nah they will

zuck said so

read in some article talkin bout company call

[ember thistle]

google intern apps havent come out?

[soft basin]

no they haven’t

[sinful locust]

You got prior experience?

[agile yew]

19 sept i think

[hardy patrol]

capital one recruiter still waiting to get back to me for powerday scheduling

https://tenor.com/view/cereal-throw-angry-guy-out-of-milk-gif-14265412

1 week

[soft basin]

my recruiter still hasn’t responded to my rejection letter 🙁

[hardy patrol]

rejected your rejection letter

ig theyre busy asf rn

[soft basin]

yeah all u can do is wait

[dusk kayak]

hmmm

i think i take riot OA soon

[golden tusk]

DataDog because Dropbox is fully remote and I don’t like that as a ng

[tawny nimbus]

my recruiter said shed contact me last week about my location and offer D:

looks like every process is backed up

[golden tusk]

Aren’t they asking crazy multiple choice questions on their OA?

[soft basin]

my recruiter finally responded

[woeful lynx]

Hahaha idk got an email today that I was a nice candidate but because they are full they can’t go further wir me in the process

[zealous trail]

whens ur call

[tawny nimbus]

cap1

my amazon final hasnt been scheduled

[hardy patrol]

holy shit

im like entirely certain the headcounts going to be filled by the time i interview

[soft basin]

my cap one recruiter finally responded

abt the application withdrawal

[hardy patrol]

i applied the same month that my internship ended and thats still considered too late thats wild

[soft basin]

[crystal agate]

[late terrace]

ye

[lean pewter]

yes

[jaunty cove]

i coudltn see the pinterest intern positions cause i have pinterest blocked

[ember thistle]

ye how tf do they review those video responses so quickly?

I think they do resume screen after OA and online video interview

cause last year i got rejected quite literally the day after the online video interview

[jaunty cove]

yes

[ember thistle]

i cant tell if this a joke cuz trading firms are kinda insane wit how they analyze candidates

[naive kayak]

bro the nike application is so horrible

[jaunty cove]

are we talking about swe or trading

[naive kayak]

who even designed that

[soft basin]

no wonder why they are hiring interns

[jaunty cove]

its a learning experience

[hardy patrol]

cap1 got back to me saying yea hold on we're fucking busy

[soft basin]

make an ai model of hr 😳

[autumn pelican]

anyone have experience with akuna quant dev final?

[frosty mulch]

I negotiated citadel and they increased weekly from 3850 to 4800 damnnn

Still 10k signing

[jaunty cove]

jesus christ

[devout jewel]

holy fuck

@frosty mulch who did u negotiate with to get a boost ?

[frosty mulch]

The recruiter

[sick oar]

competing offer?

[tardy ridge]

I didnt even sign up for any events with them

[astral dew]

Dear unavailable variable lmao

[violet willow]

Took amazon oa Friday and received this today.

Is this final?

[astral dew]

Yeah

[violet willow]

Oh thx

[tardy ridge]

Bruh all these people getting Amazon finals, while I still havent received an OA

L

[tough ledge]

amazon has been doing everything except sending an OA or rejecting 💀

[woeful lynx]

Location?

For summer or spring? Because I only see spring 😅

[uneven sand]

spring

summer apps not out yet

[agile yew]

IMC only takes final year students right?

[uneven sand]

if you're a senior rn, you should be applying for new grad

[tardy orbit]

The code signal for this was insane

[ocean relic]

Wasn’t it just normal

[tardy orbit]

No its custom, not standard code signal

[wooden shard]

[hallow scroll]

thought it was standard cuz I definitely sent in an old score

[late terrace]

[hallow scroll]

ohh makes sense

[frank oxide]

wut

wild

[static spindle]

is IMC oa auto?

darn

[woeful lynx]

Really? I got rejection email 1h after I applied 😅

[jaunty cove]

binary serach is on my list of OP data structures and algorithms now

i didnt appreciate it enoguh until now

[crystal agate]

Honestly wondering the same - I always see posts for them like “must be returning intern” or at some event and I always miss them lol

Smh

I wanna work @ slack

But can never get past lol

[strong ember]

Anyone did the Instabase OA? It says "please brush up on your frontend/full-stack coding with React and general coding with Javascript or Typescript."

[near swallow]

Do cutting ribbons on LC

Kirb 350 has it

[jaunty cove]

i just said that because i got it on codesignal

Lol

and i got another really cool bsearch on codesginal a few days ago

[jaunty cove]

sorry was i supposed to ask "What's kirb350?"

whats kirb350?

yea you got trolled

[near swallow]

[near swallow]

Since v2

New patch

Gokugate 50 is just 50sum

[hidden gust]

when google...

the rumor said 9/12

uhhhhh

[sinful locust]

yo i got a survey for after taking amazon OA? do all ppl get it or only ppl that got rejected 🥰

[hidden gust]

that's random.

[turbid marten]

@sinful locust did u interview for redfin yet

gl

[devout fractal]

is it me or is there sth wrong with the twitch OA?

it's fucking easy but im pretty sure there's some issue with coderpad

[turbid marten]

nope

the 5th case right

wait

[safe minnow]

I mean there’s white space issues

[turbid marten]

white space

[safe minnow]

But if you clear that up it’s fine

[devout fractal]

bruh, I legit printed my hashmap strings and they were the same but not unique

[turbid marten]

watch for the white space

[devout fractal]

bruh that was it 😭

fuck

[turbid marten]

the inputs look like " 'hey' "

[obsidian olive]

I didn’t get an OA yet

[turbid marten]

yep

[devout fractal]

that's so dumb wtf

[turbid marten]

it almost got me

[devout fractal]

that was such a braindead OA and I legit didn't pass it

[turbid marten]

I heard they pass u if u get 4/5 so ur good

twitch?

damn

[devout fractal]

dang im just dumb then 😭

i legit didn't notice and I'd og "finished" it in 10 minutes

also my screen is cracked

like I can't see half my screen on my computer

so I can't properly see their input

[opal kiln]

Has anyone given video interview for IMC

[limpid steeple]

Gave one, never heard back after that

[opal kiln]

What was it like?

[limpid steeple]

Basic question like -> How would you explain binary search to a child? Some questions on complexities

[obsidian olive]

[opal kiln]

Was it on Workday?

[limpid steeple]

Some behavioral questions

[hardy patrol]

how tough is imc

[opal kiln]

Their OA was decent

[hardy patrol]

lc meds right

[limpid steeple]

It was on vieple

[opal kiln]

Bruh

[opal kiln]

Wait was it live?

[limpid steeple]

Yeah, you have some 30 seconds to record your live response.

[opal kiln]

Was it with a person tho?

[limpid steeple]

No, not in person

[opal kiln]

Oh makes sense then

Also anyone given Roblox after OA?

[limpid steeple]

https://www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/comments/wdjtzd/imc_swe_summer_2023_1_way_video_interview/

[opal kiln]

This is useful. Ty!

[jaunty cove]

two easies

second one a little harder

[opal kiln]

Second was more medium than easy

[jaunty cove]

huh

you just had to translate what it asked into code

no implementation of algorithms to make it pass test cases in time or anything

[opal kiln]

It wasn’t lc easy tho

Maybe we had dif questions??

Yeah

Like it wasn’t trivial

[wooden shard]

can I see your resume as well

[jaunty cove]

i guess your right

but i would say most mediums are harder than that

[opal kiln]

Yeah ig

[hardy patrol]

lmao thats it for a company that pays ng 200k+

crazy

[jaunty cove]

yes because

they screen hard as fck after that

its not relly an assessment they prob just wanna filter out people who cant code

[devout fractal]

bruh im legit so mad at myself abt twitch OA, literally easiest OA this season so far

like i straight up had a LC med version of it for my amzn OA which I passed all on

whatever ig

[jaunty cove]

they didnt even give me the OA

very rude

[safe minnow]

Keep in mind twitch screens really hard after their oa

[devout fractal]

eh im not worried abt passing their resume screen

[jaunty cove]

what do u mean by can you code vs leetcode

[placid pelican]

what do u have?

[safe minnow]

How does one screen for that on a resume?

[devout fractal]

I just have toyota + publications, but I got past apple resume screen with that resume

[safe minnow]

Oh

[devout fractal]

and I haven't gotten resume rejected so far this season I've applied to a lot of places, so i feel like my resume is good enough, esp as junior

[devout jewel]

bro how is everyone getting callbacks

I’m not getting shit rn

I got less callbacks than last yr

[placid pelican]

well ex-toyota --> apple makes sense since they r hardware/ece focused. not sure if it will apply for twitch.

[devout jewel]

Without apple

Bruh

[jaunty cove]

imo that is still a test of how good u are at leetcode

[placid pelican]

but its good to have hope

[devout fractal]

yah, im an EE anyway

my main area is firmware/embedded swe

[jaunty cove]

maybe idk what im talking about

[placid pelican]

ig

yea its a lil crazy

[zealous trail]

Do I look like an ml data eng mf

[placid pelican]

recession fucked us

i have jpmc and im not getting shit

[slow quarry]

I have meta and unicorn and shit isn’t popping lol

[placid pelican]

so sad

[devout fractal]

is jpmc big clout for swe?

but yeah, this season is so bad bro

it's such a bloodbath and it's only sept

[placid pelican]

idk. its something tho

[devout fractal]

bezos would be a savior if they'd actually schedule my final

[placid pelican]

like what else could u have thats a step down from faang thats better than jpmc? maybe c1?

[safe minnow]

🗿

[jaunty cove]

amazon

[devout fractal]

unicorns > faang

they straight up have higher hiring bars

[placid pelican]

amazon is faang

[slow quarry]

Big tech over unicorns easily for resume value

[devout fractal]

but isn't the pipeline usually F500 -> Faang -> Unicorn?

[safe minnow]

Why is that? 🤔

[sinful locust]

@pale cargo poppa

[slow quarry]

Ur comparing apples to pears vs oranges for faang vs unicorn vs quant finance imo all 3 have pros and cons

[uneven sand]

don't you have imc

[hallow scroll]

EXCEPT FIGMA

[uneven sand]

that's like free 50k

[hallow scroll]

GIVE ME FIGMA

[slow quarry]

More recruiters will know established companies like Uber or Msft or apple compared to Brex scale memsql etc

[jaunty cove]

imc is low tier 😂

[uneven sand]

linkedin, ddog, amazon, akuna, drw

[devout fractal]

cracked screen, so couldn't see the whitespace in their inputs

[uneven sand]

on g

[slow quarry]

Akuna and imc only firms that passed me and akuna interviewer didn’t pass bc small hint so only imc

[jaunty cove]

i doubt it

[placid pelican]

where ur imc offer at

[jaunty cove]

wouldnt recruiters know how easy it is to pass the process

compared to unicorns

[slow quarry]

The interviews I get ppl keep rating fb highly

[static spindle]

I have jpmc and got to amazon and c1 final. if your resume is cracked you can look into trading stuff too

[jaunty cove]

are recruiters really unaware of how other companies hiring processes are

[slow quarry]

They keep praising meta?????

[uneven sand]

how quick did akuna reject

[slow quarry]

400+ lc in Java

[jaunty cove]

💀

[slow quarry]

1 day

[uneven sand]

im still waiting after 1 week

after phone tho

[jaunty cove]

its coming soon

[uneven sand]

damn

also what is up with drw

nobody has gotten final tf

[safe minnow]

Would you learn more at unicorns or faang, or is it not possible to generalize?

[uneven sand]

at least on this server

not possible to generalize

[placid pelican]

prolly unicorn

[uneven sand]

faang probably has better engineering practices on average but you'd probably have more chances of impact at unicorns

[static spindle]

faang is massive so you might end up doing really cool things or really boring things

[uneven sand]

this too

[static spindle]

more likely to be more boring though

[uneven sand]

there's teams that just do maintenance work

it depends

[static spindle]

big if think

[placid pelican]

u might learn more stuff horizontally in unicorns, and more vertically in faang

[obsidian olive]

Y the hell do I keep hearing that the snowflake OA is brutal

[uneven sand]

you just need to find the teams working on new stuff

which there are plenty of

[jaunty cove]

cause it is

[placid pelican]

i.e. wear more hats and do multiple roles whereas in faang u can do something specialized

[uneven sand]

but there's also plenty of teams maintaining old stuff

[sinful locust]

I just get basic shit no fulltimers wanted to do

[outer sapphire]

Is Amazon OA easy?

[static spindle]

this is true. though idk if you get too much of a choice

[outer sapphire]

Just got it

[safe minnow]

Also, is it difficult to go from unicorn to faang later on?

[uneven sand]

also keep in mind unicorns are still big in their own right

[jaunty cove]

its random

[uneven sand]

unicorns aren't 20 person startups lol

[static spindle]

its not horrendous?

[uneven sand]

amazon oa is rng but if you can do lc mediums, you'll be fine

[hallow scroll]

I need that ipo money

[frank knoll]

I failed Figma on the coding piece cause I was having technical difficulties

[hallow scroll]

Series z funding coming soon

Yes

I go to no name but their resume screen is still harsh

[hallow scroll]

[sinful locust]

are we gonna mod by 26 once we get passed series z?

or are we gonna move into greek letters?

[hallow scroll]

Bankruptcy 👍

[sinful locust]

a-z -> a-z again or a-z -> greek

[sinful locust]

[frank knoll]

I’m not even gonna do figma next year cause their test was so stupid for me

[hallow scroll]

Oh did you fail the oa?

[placid pelican]

What u kinda company requires that many rounds of@funding

[frank knoll]

Yeah I was having a ton of technical difficulties like it freezing and stuff

[hallow scroll]

Rip

[frank knoll]

How did you pass bro @hallow scroll

I’d rather do leetcode🫠

[hallow scroll]

Idk I did pretty bad too 😭😭

Yes and I also have 2 other pretty good names lol

[frank knoll]

I go to a no name school and for some reason I got reached out to by Google

[hallow scroll]

Yeah school starts to not matter

[frank knoll]

[hallow scroll]

[frank knoll]

I coded an app and it’s on the App Store😵‍💫

Big bless

[hallow scroll]

Minorities wooooo

[sick oar]

pltr 2nd round in 10 mins lmaooo

[sinful locust]

Im minority wheres my internship or phone at least

[devout fractal]

has zoox sent out OAs yet?

[sinful locust]

For some reason my schools google recruiter only reached out last year not this or any year before junior
Then i said i wanted security and would reach out later. She said ok but when I emailed when security opened she never responded

[devout fractal]

has rivian sent out OAs yet?

[near swallow]

Good tech recruiters will recognize figma’s value

[hallow scroll]

Yeah I agree

[near swallow]

Have you seen the demographics on linkedin of figma vs G

They’re all handsome at figma ofc

[hallow scroll]

If you wanna learn more which for me at least is a big factor figma > google

Mod abuse

[stable shell]

linkedin recruiter asked me if im interested in summer and now i got final scheduled for summer wheres my winter

[devout jewel]

Is that why I get reject from figma

I’m kinda ugly

[sinful locust]

does mongodb sponsor

[near swallow]

Yeah that’s why

[devout jewel]

damn

must focus on being sexy like juda

instead of lc

No I

I’m nothing compared to u

[near swallow]

There are two people u should never compare yourself to because they are perfect

@gentle latch @quaint bolt

[hallow scroll]

[devout jewel]

On god

[safe minnow]

What does the frequency number exactly mean on the vercel app?

[uneven sand]

how often it was asked (according to lc)

[safe minnow]

Yeah, but let's say it shows 1.13

Does that mean it's asked in 1 out of 1.13 interviews?

So 88%?

I'm just trying to figure out if the smaller numbers are the ones I should be grinding or the bigger ones 😅

[near swallow]

It means if 100 people did an interview, 1 adult would get it asked and also one small child would get asked

Honestly idk, i think it’s just how averages work

[thorny wharf]

is it better to schedule my final interview a week from now or 4 weeks from now for a faang-level company? sooner means less spots have filled up but later would give me more time to leetcode, even though i'm relatively comfortable rn

[safe minnow]

💀

What's wrong with this problem

[true glade]

JUDA

[true glade]

you say the same thing everytime

[south oak]

my goldman status changed from hacccer rank completed to interview completed does this mean I am rejects?

[hardy patrol]

goldman needs school transcripts right

[south oak]

I think so

I remember uploading an unofficial transcript

[hardy patrol]

wack

i want to see the golman recruiters face when he checks my transcripts to see a negative gpa

[golden tusk]

We're not goated as you

[placid pelican]

[wooden shard]

How do u find out about these sessions?

[static spindle]

[golden tusk]

These ppl gunning for top internships

How to compete

No wonder bridgewater ghosting

[static spindle]

i have an unusual hat in tf2, does that count?

[safe minnow]
