2023_summer

[lofty bluff]

but they called it an array

[hallow scroll]

Thoughts on rippling vs amazon

[lofty bluff]

it's freaking confusing how they want me to use it

i'm so pissed

[dusk kayak]

honestly a lot but it depends on industry

big pay != resume value

[lofty bluff]

why they heck is there a bloddy pointer in their datatype if its an array!?!

[vernal furnace]

name any plz?

[low vale]

yes there are many lol

[lofty bluff]

its so easy to solve too

[vernal furnace]

examples? doesn't matter which field

[lofty bluff]

i could easily code this up by myself

[safe minnow]

This is not roblox specific

[dusk kayak]

interest dependent

[jaunty cove]

julia is hot af

[dusk kayak]

like for Robotics or AV i would take Nuro over meta or G any day

[buoyant basin]

If I worked in biotech and have a biotech company with really similar experience they would probs take me over google

[lofty bluff]

well crap what am i supposed to do

im stuck on freaking syntax errors

[low vale]

Uber and airbnb are two pretty big companies that pay more than faang and generally have more prestige. Waymo is separate from google but also more interesting. Nuro is another and so on

[safe minnow]

Debug it

🤷

[lofty bluff]

i spent like 30 mins debugging it with only 70 mins

i got so mad

i gave up

[safe minnow]

[lofty bluff]

i tried every combination

[sinful locust]

Is waymo not a g subsidiary

[safe minnow]

Please tell me this was question 4

[dusk kayak]

idk i just have industry connections

[lofty bluff]

question 1

[low vale]

yeah

[jaunty cove]

codesignal doesnt really have any custom data structures

💀

[safe minnow]

[low vale]

but counting waymo as google is like counting deepmind as google

[lofty bluff]

yea but they dont let you return bool*

[vernal furnace]

yeah I have a double major, second one is biomed, are there any biomed companies that pay equal to FAANG (amazon for reference cuz that's where i'm going next summer) i've heard of benchling but don't know anyone else

[lofty bluff]

they made a datatype

[dusk kayak]

improve then

[lofty bluff]

i tried to change it

[safe minnow]

You can't return True?

[lofty bluff]

but it was comp error cause it didnt accept bool*

no

it wont let me

[jaunty cove]

a bool pointer?

[lofty bluff]

it wont let me return array of bools

i have to use their datatype

and for their datatype

[jaunty cove]

why did you choose to do it in C

[lofty bluff]

idk how to freaking set each i value to ture

[safe minnow]

💀

[lofty bluff]

because my college only teaches C so far

i am learning java rn

but not proficient

but still I could've easily coded that in C

[jaunty cove]

you should invest in learning python java or C++ for interviews

[lofty bluff]

if only someone could tell me what the hell i did wrong

[vernal furnace]

so long story short, niche companies that are equal to faang for interest but faang for pay? is that the tldr answer?

[low vale]

you used c

[lofty bluff]

even in their instructions they referred to the arrays likes numbers[4] or something like that

but

if i try to use numbers[i] whatsoever

syntax error

[dusk kayak]

improve your connections i meant 😭

[lofty bluff]

im especially mad because i did bad on a test today

[dusk kayak]

LinkedIn is free brother

[lofty bluff]

still tho i couldnt use C like I used it for the entirety of my class idk what type of datatype they made

it had a pointer in it like a linked list

but they called it an array

i was so confused

[jaunty cove]

you can point to arrays of stuff with pointers in C

and use pointer arithmetic to index

[lofty bluff]

i used it like that too

but for some reason

it didnt properly save it

[dusk kayak]

you're not a total no name right?

[lofty bluff]

and since C never taught me about booleans

i didnt know how to check prints

[jaunty cove]

in C 0 is false and not zero is true

[dusk kayak]

then the fuck are you complaining about

[lofty bluff]

wait.. lemme see then

[dusk kayak]

connection building seems free at top tier schools

[safe minnow]

Wait are you doing the codesignal rn

[lofty bluff]

no i logged out

i got so pissed

[safe minnow]

Ok good

[sinful locust]

stdbool.h

[lofty bluff]

i give up on roblox man

[safe minnow]

Just curious, which school

(if you're comfortable sharing)

[lofty bluff]

screw this they could've just let me code it from scratch

[dusk kayak]

absolutely lmao

[low vale]

yoooooooooo i got akuna final

[dusk kayak]

I'm at a relatively mid school and i just expanded my network by being likable and knowing how to work my way up to what i want

[safe minnow]

Speaking as someone also there, I can confirm that connection building is a lot easier

[dusk kayak]

no literally

like

[safe minnow]

Random friends and classmates will be working at big tech companies

[dusk kayak]

and that's okay

[safe minnow]

That's how op it is

[low vale]

go to your schools disc, i got a bunch of referrals without asking because i became friends with some of the upperclassmen

[ivory parrot]

update got rejected

[dusk kayak]

Nuro never came to campus and here i am with a TPM in my back pocket

[safe minnow]

Idt discord is a great way of meeting people

Talking to someone over discord for 60 minutes may be worse than meeting them in person for 15

Chilling with friends is great, but meeting new people in general I would rather do in person

Even if friends

[low vale]

its a breadth thing, you can interact with a lot more people on disc than you can irl

[sinful locust]

linkedin and irl arent ur only options to network

[low vale]

also just a good thing to know other people imo

[sinful locust]

bruh talk to people join communities idk

[jaunty cove]

that sounds irl

[sinful locust]

yes bc this server we're in rn isnt a community

[jaunty cove]

is stdbool.h just define true 1 define false 0

[sinful locust]

sorry if i seem like a shill for connecting online but its literally carried my whole experience atp

[dusk kayak]

waymo is not Google though 😞

[dusk kayak]

it's goated

[low vale]

outside

[sinful locust]

u are typing in this discord RIGHT now

[vernal furnace]

what's the color of grass again?

[sinful locust]

idk depends
glibc is opensource

you can check yourself if you want

[low vale]

go to nuro headquarters and demand to speak to the manager

[vernal furnace]

you forgot the nice firm handshake part

[woeful lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/karen-karening-intensifies-done-i-am-done-gif-16742218

[sinful locust]

i met mine through twitter / discord / hackathons

[low vale]

too many tech companies out there to make a good list

always gonna be some places you leave out

[vernal furnace]

is goku gate still making useless posts even now?

[woeful lynx]

What about all those cool HFT comps?:(

[sinful locust]

or maybe im just a diversity hire

a recruiter emailed me again but without (exciting) this time

[sick oar]

this channel has been invaded by 2026ers

fr

[vernal furnace]

fangirling gone wrong

[sinful locust]

no im at adobe

go to research conferences

[vernal furnace]

what? speak english

[sinful locust]

back to lc come back withsome banger news hopefully by today or tomorrow

[low vale]

yeah its nice, they gave it as a prep sheet

but it has no advice lol

im tryna land an offer like gokugate12

[sick oar]

figma balls

[tawdry remnant]

anyone take riot oa yet lol

[merry verge]

anyone know what to expect on the pltr final?

[safe minnow]

@sinful locust what step did you get rejected at gap from

[low vale]

its just what they tell you

[merry verge]

they mentioned itll consist of a technical, whats that supposed to be like

[low vale]

did you have your recruiter screen yet?

they should have explained it there

[merry verge]

i just finished the on sites today and im set to move onto the final now

[cosmic cradle]

Rip sorry to hear that

When was ur phone

[safe minnow]

After phone?

[frank knoll]

That doesn’t look like a rejection

It looks like a maybe you need to wait first

Some people straight up got rejected

Oh I’m really sorry my eyes are super red from studying and I’m not seeing straight

I got rejected from everything btw😂😂😂😂😂

[safe minnow]

😔

For SWE?

Ah

[coarse vigil]

Drink some water and take a shower and vibe

[frail moth]

bruh the only company i had finished phone interview for ofc pauses their internship… GAP

[frank knoll]

Yes sir🔥

[turbid marten]

I got a confusing email

amazon recruiter telling me Im moving to the next round but I dont see a link to schedule my interview or anything

and its worded hella weird

[sinful locust]

web final?

[low vale]

yeah

[sinful locust]

gl

they want perfection ig

[cinder jungle]

what should I talk about when an interviewer asks "tell me about urself"

[sinful locust]

im kinda pissed at them but wtv

[low vale]

damn wtf

was it coding a game like the phone?

[sinful locust]

you tell them about your self

[sinful locust]

oh i didnt do that position in particular

im just saying in general

[low vale]

oh aight

[cinder jungle]

tell what tho lol

[sinful locust]

ok fine

heres what i do

say where im from, what drew me to CS, how i explore opportunities in school, my internships, thats it

frame it so it aligns with company values

[cinder jungle]

thanks!

[sinful locust]

its not something to stress about , seriously

[cinder jungle]

i just wanted to know a format lol

[sinful locust]

there is none

[sick oar]

rlly?

[sinful locust]

yea why

[sick oar]

i just introduce myself, my major, my school

[cinder jungle]

i just say my name, my school and list internships

[sick oar]

then i ask if they want to hear about my background too

[sinful locust]

btw i say all that in 30-40 seconds, so it seems a lot but its not

[sick oar]

thats like 50/50

[cinder jungle]

idk if i should expand on my internship

and how much to

[sinful locust]

shouldnt expand much

keep it < 1 min

if its over than 1 min then its too long

[static spindle]

still not rejected from gap B)

[buoyant basin]

Which companies are best for wanting solid FT return offer chances/compensation?

[static spindle]

jpmc and cap1 send almost everyone return offers

[crystal agate]

do you know for cap1

is the return offer based on the location you interned at

or can you choose

[static spindle]

not sure? you get a call with a recruiter who will tell you if you get the return or not. you can probably discuss it with them then

but if youre transferring between major locations like Plano, McLean and that other washington place then you should be able to change locations pretty easily

[frail moth]

SWE, havent received the email about them pausing it yet tho but 100% they will send it

[crystal agate]

cool ty ty

[agile yew]

what the fuck?

it is de shaw?

i am guesstimating 100,000 lines of code for everything

fucking stupid question

[buoyant basin]

Just give a stupid response back

“More than 10”

[agile yew]

-1 is valid

lol

[agile yew]

letters are prohibited

[limpid crater]

Is Akuna capital data Infra OA just lc style it’s specified to be in only Java or scala

[buoyant basin]

Damn

[jaunty cove]

More than 10 less than 20

[uneven sand]

just say 10k

[agile yew]

i said 80k for evreything

lol

oh no not for evreything, i basically did 10k lines/yr of experience

so 8 yrs= 10 * 80 = 80,000

[sand orbit]

I've only seen that in shaw

cracked

[agile yew]

jeb bezos started at de shaw

[sand orbit]

tbh, if someone asks you've coded how many lines, I would assume they don't know about coding at all

[agile yew]

i hope they only take fro,m targets so that i have more of a chance

they really were trying to evaluate my writing and im a good writer

maybe they dont even do leetcode 😮 since theyre not tech savvy at all

that is disappointing

[safe minnow]

Anyone have advice for scale ai technical?

Found almost 0 info

[agile yew]

not disappointing because you got it but disappointing cos i thought i finally found a company dumber than me

[sand orbit]

ur hypsm?

[muted summit]

damn scale ai rejects coming in? 😭

im 👻

[agile yew]

i am target

i want to find places which only take target so the candidate pool is smaller and so there is higher likelihood of hearing back rather than being ghosted

the only places i can find so far are economic consulting places

[sand orbit]

shaw is def one of them lol

[agile yew]

i applied to 5 rings already

have ont heard back

[sand orbit]

i mean most of these places are rly selective

f/g

even if you're target

[agile yew]

fg = fb and google?

[sand orbit]

yeah

[agile yew]

idk how im gonna get an internship then

or, i am sure i can get an internship, but a not shit internship

[old moon]

how hard was the 2 sigma oa?

[undone river]

Apply to McDonald's bro they give 15 an hour here

[sand orbit]

lmao

[agile yew]

im not wasting my opt on mcdonalds

[violet kelp]

has anyone heard back from paypal after the OA?

[sand orbit]

i mean if you're interational

basically no shit company support opt

[agile yew]

yeah i guess

a lot of them claim to though

[undone river]

Rip

I need a McDonald's buddy/s

[sand orbit]

c1 basically

[agile yew]

i really wanted to work this out before i go deep into school

[sand orbit]

c1 kinda cutline

c1 ds sponsor, swe not sponsor

[muted summit]

nope

still waiting for them

no one has heard back so i think we made it, just taking a bit of time

[undone river]

I'm waiting for Tesla

Hopefully something work

Or I go work at McDonald's

Nope

[strong ember]

bombed linkedin OA

[undone river]

Pure joking

[strong ember]

100% on first one, 4/15 on the 2nd

wasted too much time on the first

[undone river]

If needed I can change it to janitor for fang

[novel lily]

Do you guys email to thank your interview after a phone screen

[mild pond]

When tf is Google opening lol

Already mid September

Or are they gonna freeze interns too

[hollow sorrel]

they open next monday for europe

they usually open 1st october

[sinful locust]

google said 19th

26th for step

[violet kelp]

yeah true, could be. A lot of places start their interview process super late now

[mild pond]

Oct 1st when Amazon deadline is oct 5 is ☠️

[muted summit]

amazon deadline is oct 5???

they fr out of spots?? O_O

[crisp berry]

for offer acceptance

[lofty bluff]

guys so i went back to the roblox oa and apparently i had a new set of questions idk what happened im dumb

is 660 a good score or no

dang

looks like i need to practice a lot

figures,

[north portal]

roblox is 800+ minimum

[lofty bluff]

welp, im stupid

looks like i need to practice some mrore

ill leave that for the weekend tho

[north portal]

application

final interviews gonna be going till after that tbh

im still waiting for mine

and its been over a month

[sinful locust]

600 -> 800+ probably not gonna happen over one weekend tbh

[lofty bluff]

you're prob right

[static spindle]

amazons closing oct 5???

[buoyant basin]

You’re not stupid. To get 2 shows that you just need more practice and you are certainly capable of understanding the concepts

[hollow sorrel]

He meant offer acceptance

[lofty bluff]

thanks motchet, i needed to hear that tbh

[muted summit]

Dont worry about it man @lofty bluff code signal can be tricky just take the practice tests, get used to the types of questions and you'll be good

[lofty bluff]

are all OAs on codesignal?

[static spindle]

nop

[muted summit]

Nah there is hacker rank

and code signal for the popular ones

what else is there

besides company specific

[static spindle]

codility

[lofty bluff]

if i practice on code signal would hackerrank also be easy?

[muted summit]

hmm i would suggest doing leetcode

[static spindle]

probably. leetcode is best for all of them

[muted summit]

start with the neetcode or grind list, do the easies and work your way up

[lofty bluff]

alright, thanks guys, i'm gonna be studying till i can't study anymore after my friday test

[lofty bluff]

is neetcode apart of leetcode?

[muted summit]

nah hes a youtuber

[limpid crater]

No

[muted summit]

he just named himself that

@lofty bluff https://neetcode.io/practice

wow

we sent that exact thing

at the same time

LOL

[lofty bluff]

my school only taught me C so far so looks like I'll have to do some Java studying

[muted summit]

id recommend python

for leetcode

[lofty bluff]

tbh i never liked python syntax, is it really easier?

[muted summit]

yes and theres a lot of helpful methods for data structures and algs

before getting into leetcode i would recommend doing a short basic python course

to get familiar with it

then you can learn the syntax as you go with the easies

[uneven sand]

no sorted data structures tho 😠

[muted summit]

thats why i still use java

😹

im swapping at one point

but too late in the szn to swap for me

but if anyone is starting out i strongly suggest python

[agile yew]

Maybe you could try c++

That's what I've been using

[sinful locust]

Based

[hollow sorrel]

bro learn c++ it's chad language

[sinful locust]

Rust

[woeful lynx]

Personal opinion: Honestly python for leetcodijg over any other language 😂 it’s so much “cleaner” you write less code and don’t have to think about static checks etc.

Preped with python then switched to java for Optiver and the same concepts in python take in java way longer to write. In an interview setting less lines of code is important so you can focus more on explaining than typing.

But if you are already a professional in another language go with that language. If you know multiple and one of them is py go with py

[sinful locust]

Honestly doesnt matter

[woeful lynx]

Yeah you are totally right… It doesn’t matter. As long as you get the job done 😌

[grave patrol]

Anyone wanna take the leetcode premium thing together? Dm me

[sinful locust]

Wait stripe has 2 phones 💀

[night apex]

anyone do the jane street qt phone?

[sand orbit]

Honestly Java and python easier than cpp

[merry verge]

is it easy to switch palantir internship locations?

[sand orbit]

but if u want to go hft, lots of places need c++

[woeful lynx]

Yeah 😦 but the level of C++ needed for that takes a lot of time 😂

[sand orbit]

yeah, that’s it

[obsidian olive]

i h8 getting ghosted

[sand orbit]

python might be easiest, but missing lib

[cosmic cradle]

they will do it for scarnity

[ivory basalt]

Should I wait till i finish interviewing w/ optiver (on 3rd round rn) or accept roblox offer asap (just in case they fill up)

[late terrace]

they won’t fill up

tons of interviews in oct/nov

[jaunty cove]

👍

[solar axle]

those who passed Palantir decomp/learning round did the email say Engineering Manager round may or may not be technical

[harsh jackal]

Anyone done with Karat Interview for Intuit for Summer 2023?

[lofty bluff]

@honest spire

i heard you had an insane resume

you sure? you got internships before hs is over

prob whats gonna happen is less cs grads are gonna get jobs

like other industries

[grand bane]

anyone else notice there's no estimate for instabase on levels.fyi?

instabase is that new?

ic interesting

[jaunty cove]

github copilot is taking our jobs

give it 2 years

anything we can do is quantifiable

i will ne

[agile yew]

Yes

It will definitely decrease salaries in the long run

[lofty bluff]

bruh you havent even started college yet 😂

[undone river]

Dam

[agile yew]

That's not how markets work

[undone river]

Time to switch majors

[agile yew]

Why do you think the bar will keep moving up? There's a ceiling for quality/level of engineering, but quantity will keep increasing

[undone river]

My friend is double major of political science and csr

[agile yew]

HFT is completely different afaik

[undone river]

Too much completion

[agile yew]

They don't care for quantity and they look for the absolute highest quality

[undone river]

There is nothing one cup of coffee can't solve

[agile yew]

It's easier to get into prestige based things. It's a good thing.

[undone river]

If there is grab 3 more

[grave skiff]

Just took my Amazon Final. Hoping i get to apply my leadership principles in seattle

[agile yew]

Getting into Ivy+ is far more achievable than finance at a nontarget for example, so it's better if companies right now are more prestige based than merit based

Merit is impossible to gauge anyways. It comes down to stupid things like leetcode which aren't good indicators

[undone river]

We usually have 600+ cs student every year

And only 200~ make it in 4 Year

Pretty standard

Bro

I swear it is not hard

Just people not trying

[safe minnow]

uw?

[agile yew]

Pedigree behavioural and practical, like finance

Take home

Exactly

Nah

[undone river]

I'm the next Elon bro

Trust trust

[zealous trail]

Uw mad is op

Everyone there is cracked

[agile yew]

Uw mad us in wiscounisn bruh

[slow quarry]

[static spindle]

they can make it harder lol

[agile yew]

Wisconsin is like worse indiana
And I'm not even american

[zealous trail]

Ur cracked

[zealous trail]

As a state they both suck

[slow quarry]

Only if I get offer tmrw

[zealous trail]

Is IMC tmrw

Or was it today

[slow quarry]

Did Imc final behavioral today

[zealous trail]

Poggers

I had my DRW on-site today

[oak kite]

Going to a top school in America is actually really cheap for poor people. Can confirm as I’m fairly poor and go to a T10

[static spindle]

yeah, not complaining. Most interviews I got were through leetcode OAs

[zealous trail]

Pretty sure I fucked it lol

[agile yew]

I don't believe in a "meritocratic" system existingnon leetcode...

[low vale]

for some reason i thought you were new grad

[agile yew]

Yea its just a myth

[zealous trail]

I am

[low vale]

😮

[oak kite]

It’s fucked for any household making above 150k a year

[hallow scroll]

He comes in intern chat to do a little chatting

[zealous trail]

All of it was doable except one was pretty tough. But first Q in that one was easy

[zealous trail]

Yeah cuz I have no friends

[low vale]

nah i meant i thought he was working rn

[static spindle]

bro I was almost gonna pay 40k year for tuition and only didnt bc had parents working at the uni

[hallow scroll]

Valid

[zealous trail]

I am unemployed

[static spindle]

scholarships and pell grants cant cover 40k for everyone

[agile yew]

Better than leetcode. It requires more consistent effort for a longer period of time

[zealous trail]

My ego won’t survive if I didn’t

[hallow scroll]

Would you even take drw over what you have rn

[zealous trail]

[hallow scroll]

Lmao

[oak kite]

I did say poor people

[zealous trail]

My ego won’t survive tho

[static spindle]

i get full amt from pell grants

[agile yew]

Because I was busy getting a 4.0? That's not exactly a part time job for most people, unfortunately

[oak kite]

From a top school?

[sinful locust]

Lets go bro

good luck

[oak kite]

usually if you go to a top school, they cover the majority of financial aid

[sinful locust]

😈

[agile yew]

Yea maybe for what u want to do but not me

[sinful locust]

GPA cringe metric

[oak kite]

I actually make 2k my first semester at a T10 because the university over granted

[agile yew]

I'm thinking of maybe trying for mgmt consulting as well

[sinful locust]

Disagree

[zealous trail]

@slow quarry take IMC if u get it. Better than any tech company for sure

[static spindle]

no, I wasnt gonna be able to pay for a normal school in a cheap state, can't move out of state for a top school

[zealous trail]

Even if u aren’t a grinder

[slow quarry]

I need the offer first

I still need any offer

[zealous trail]

True but u got this 🙏

[sinful locust]

Ghosted by duo?

[agile yew]

And those people deserve to be looked at. When did I disagree?

[low vale]

imc told me to wait to schedule the final for a month

[slow quarry]

I’m still ducking. Waiting

[sinful locust]

lolrip

[zealous trail]

@slow quarry did it go well? Like u think u might cop?

[low vale]

and then today, they rejected me 😦

[static spindle]

sneak me in ur suitcase if you get the offer

[oak kite]

Everyone who qualifies for Pell grant gets essentially full tuition from a top school

[slow quarry]

I passed final technical and felt like I did well on final behavioral as I related every answer to imc culture

[low vale]

didn't you do duo 2 weeks ago?

[oak kite]

I didn’t even qualify for Pell

[slow quarry]

YES

[agile yew]

This is not how it works

[low vale]

breh

i have my duo final on the 22nd

hopefully i pass 🙏

[zealous trail]

That’s good then I believe in u

[sinful locust]

damn wtf

[agile yew]

Unless the top school is a public. In which case we have different definitions of top school as OOS public is expensive and has little finaid

[oak kite]

@static spindle when I mean top school I mean T20 or T30

[sinful locust]

@inner kernel yo how long did virtu reply after OA

[low vale]

yeah idek why, they told me i was going to the next round

[sinful locust]

virtu oa was weirdly easy

[agile yew]

Pedigree. Prioritise T20/T50 students + mandatory resume screen for lower ranked schools if pass filter

[low vale]

and then rejected me 2 hours ago

[sinful locust]

thats sad

sorry to hear that

makes 0 sense

[low vale]

it is what it is

which is 😦

Another L under my belt

[oak kite]

Well even if the quality isn’t better, the opportunities in fields like finance are better. Career fairs are better. Student connections are better

[agile yew]

I'm not saying it's better, it'll allow companies to get a better look at each candidate

Dude leetcode and college have nothing to do with each other

[oak kite]

Freshmen

[agile yew]

You better have 60 hards and a 4.0 at a t10 smartass

[safe minnow]

Time to see if you can unrejected from a company

[low vale]

i applied to instabase 5 times

and then i passed le resume screen

[slow quarry]

We’re a target?

[low vale]

uw madison is a target yeah

[slow quarry]

Brother the only target that’s available is the one on state street

[slow quarry]

No it isn’t

[jaunty cove]

I go to a walmart school

[agile yew]

The point was that they can barely get through candidates, most are rejected before they even get their foot through the door. The reason they have those sup arbitrary checks in finance is to reduce the number of candidates so that you can do a thorough 1:1 quality check on each one

[low vale]

i mean its not a great target

[slow quarry]

This is what happens when u blindly read cs rankings

[low vale]

but its not bad

[safe minnow]

Rn I'm at a SIG competition on campus after getting resume screened

[slow quarry]

The bachelors bar is low it’s the grad bar that Carry’s it

[low vale]

yeah cuz they cheated lol

[oak kite]

Those people who do well from non T20 go get an MBA from a T7 business school

[slow quarry]

That’s why u get faang tier company before applying

[low vale]

columbia < nyu

[safe minnow]

1k in prizes with 30 people 🤔

[low vale]

🙂

[safe minnow]

Not bad odds

[sinful locust]

u go to a target

[agile yew]

Idk how to explain this

[zealous trail]

How else would they screen? They can’t interview everyone

[sinful locust]

nyu is cracked af

[low vale]

not target enough for drw

[sinful locust]

too bad i got rejected

[zealous trail]

But quant firms are a small fraction of the size of faang?

[slow quarry]

Bro I’m still at like a 14% interview rate rn

[agile yew]

Nothing is fair. There is no such thing as a fair system. You either know that you're being overlooked (in quant and finance of u don't go to a t20) or have no fucking idea what's going on (in tech)

[sinful locust]

SAME

[slow quarry]

I’m actually mid Sadge

[sinful locust]

akuna cut me off today

cant wait till blacklists kick in next year

[deep valley]

14% isnt bad at all lmao

[slow quarry]

And big tech

[merry verge]

mine said "This interview will consist of behavioral questions and a technical (coding) component."

wbu

[zealous trail]

Unicorns are big tech

[low vale]

here i am being very happy with like a 10%

[sinful locust]

Its the 1 that matters

[slow quarry]

14% with meta and unicorn???

[sinful locust]

[deep valley]

Bro the economy is dog rn

[uneven sand]

14% is good right

[slow quarry]

My goofy ass had 7% last year

[uneven sand]

I’m at like 0%

[sinful locust]

[deep valley]

[deep valley]

But that might be cause Im canadian

[static spindle]

[sinful locust]

yea absolutely

[sinful locust]

[tame steeple]

jane street recruiters manually check every resume too apparently

[sinful locust]

that shouldnt rlly be a concern if youre interning earlier on in college tho

@sinful locust how to prep for stripe? Just study hytp requests?

[low vale]

its okay, stepping stone to greater things

[sinful locust]

yep exactly

[uneven sand]

how to get stripe oa? just spam recruiters on linkedin?

[hallow scroll]

Check Reddit there’s this one post that legit explained everything lol

[agile yew]

Two Sigma by far. Is it even a question?

[hallow scroll]

I did that with datadog last year

[zealous trail]

Why do you say that?

[hallow scroll]

Accidentally submitted an app like 4 times

[agile yew]

Two sigma is much more prestigious

[low vale]

c1 and amazon, even if people meme on them

[zealous trail]

Lol

[low vale]

are quite good companies

[zealous trail]

Prestige prestige prestige

[low vale]

i accidentally wrote that i don't have permission to work in the us for mongo

[low vale]

im such an ape

[agile yew]

Why lol

I don't see why ud pick the objectively worse firm lol

[zealous trail]

What does prestige even mean to you? It just means you’ve heard of it more?

[slow quarry]

fb + rippling

[agile yew]

TS is a more successful firm

[slow quarry]

bc why would they take 2 showers instead?

[zealous trail]

It’s just bigger lol

[agile yew]

When I visited HBS, my tour guide was an ex-Navy seal who once commanded a nuclear sub while studying for the GMAT and built schools in Africa with his bare hands in his free time and helped stop Thanos from destroying the universe. Literally Captain America was my host so I wasn't surprised when I got dinged. The guys and gals who attend HBS or Stanford GSB are in another class.

[static spindle]

[sly sparrow]

So I worked as a founding engineer for a startup. On my resume should I put that I was the founding engineer/full stack engineer or that I was woking as an intern?

(I am currently looking for internships)

[versed kestrel]

CoFounder

[sly sparrow]

I also dont want them to think it was a BS position tho 💀

[versed kestrel]

Use your exp to convince them

[hardy patrol]

still didnt get stripe oa is this an L

[sly sparrow]

true but you don't think putting "founder" is necesarrily a bad thing?

yea thats what i was thinking

[noble ore]

if u made a large quantifiable impact then i would put founder otherwise up to u

[sly sparrow]

should i also say "intern" or is full stack engineering good

[jaunty cove]

Put product manager

[sly sparrow]

Hmm I think I made a pretty decent impact but just don't want it to come off as bs yk

[noble ore]

by impact i mean publicly, something where if they google it, something will at least come up

[sly sparrow]

Oh yea none of that 💀

also the startups SEO isnt as good since we launched a few months ago, so should i put stealth next to it or nah?

[sand orbit]

swe intern?

[golden tusk]

They’re not searching it up, I would put co-founder if it’s a legit startup that’s being built

[ivory basalt]

Are you interning as a quant trader or swe at citadel?

[buoyant basin]

How long have people been finding Amazon rejections vs offers take?

[golden tusk]

To add on, having built a startup shows positive signal that you’re a good candidate

Code for good

[earnest coral]

How’s the riot oa like?
