iirc b75 has a question for each topic and the rest lc are alterations of each

Do people switch to quant after working in tech for 5-6 years
I guess to SWE FT
And get salaries of like 300k
jaunty cove
they seem more meritocratic
i heard back more from quants than faang and shitty tech companies
tardy ridge
Oh really does tech match quant as the years go on?
Match as in compensation wise
I thought quant goes crazy, like even 1 million
With 10 YOE
Yeah quant is bad for mental I feel
jaunty cove
bc they get 700k bonuses if your a good trader
jaunty cove
faang is supposedly stressful
tardy ridge
Regardless of YOE, position or how high up you are
jaunty cove
i rly wnt to go out do quant trading or dev for 5-10 years then go to a chill tech job and then retire early
jaunty cove
kind of scared that maintaining a relatinoship would be impossible if you were doing trading
versed kestrel
Just git gud and be a 10x programmer
tardy ridge
So you never have to work that many hours in tech?
As in like 70
I thought the higher up you go and the long term, FAANG and tech was better than quant compensation wise
But I thought the hours go crazy even in tech
Maybe not 70, but like 60+
hallow scroll
maybe at amazon
tardy ridge
Amazon has highest pay for principal SWE tho

tardy ridge
Idk wtf I’d do with 300k in my bank account every year
soft basin
theres a certain point where ur salary ur goin for is greed
tardy ridge
I also feel like I’d be working so much that I won’t get to do anything with the 300k
soft basin
like nobody needs a 1 mil per year salary
jaunty cove
the entire point of hft is greed
tardy ridge
like nobody needs a 1 mil per year salary
Honestly that’s like YouTube type money
Some YouTubers make like 1 mil a month
soft basin
my point still stands
tardy ridge
I wonder what they do with all that money tbh
soft basin
i feel swe is way overvalued lmaooo
soft basin
bc swe helps make money for those big companies
tardy ridge
Arguably, an “average” (not really) candidate can really make it big and come out with a nice 6 figure salary in SWE and CS
No other industry allows that I feel

during more of whenever the teacher was teaching id read other chapters 💀
but now i cant even do calculus anymore
havent used it since freshman yr of college

it should be fine tho

calc 3 was so cake tho

ah
is that something worth talking about on an interview do you think
Lol good point
idk once i see bottom up its a lot more intuitive for me to visualize than top down
but sometimes seeing top down is easier at firt
lemme code this
💀
yea i dont get it
i dont understand why the order of the for loops
and how that solves a different problem if you reverse it
i should probably go back and understand this better
coin change classic problem
thus follow up questions good to know
class Solution:
def minDistance(self, word1: str, word2: str) -> int:
dp = [i for i in range(len(word2)+1)]
for i in range(1, len(word1) + 1):
new_dp = [0 for i in range(len(word2)+1)]
new_dp[0] = i
for j in range(1, len(word2) + 1):
if word1[i-1] == word2[j-1]:
new_dp[j] = dp[j-1]
continue
delete = dp[j]
insert = new_dp[j-1]
replace = dp[j-1]
new_dp[j] = 1 + min(delete, insert, replace)
dp = new_dp
return dp[len(word2)]```actually this can be improved if you dont make a new array each time instead swap values
idk if it matters
for this one bottom up makes a lot more sense to me cause i see it as a two pointers solution startign at the beginning of two strings
how does top down look 
so the indices represent the suffix of the string that your considering
instead of the prefix

north portal
higher resume value imo, and u can launchpad to other faangs with it
teal plover

north portal
is it just me or is Slack lowkey not nearly as prestigious as their pay would dictate
i lowkey think they are overrated
north portal
they have like similar salary to amazon
teal plover
also I hit the jackpot with my amazon team
north portal
like 170-180k
but their prestige isnt amazon level imo
oh nice
Im still waiting for my final interview 😔
north portal
im focused on everything other than amazon until they actually give me a date
i should follow up with c1 too
they gave me dates but no confirmation
north portal
Hubspot is my new fav company
those guys are next level
I completed my OA yesterday, and they have already given me an interview step and confirmed the date of my first phone
took literally 30 min
no clue

Saw a post on blind, a quant intern got 5k/week
Thought qr should > swe

You can’t interview for both quant and swe, isn’t it?

sand orbit

sand orbit
maybe you can keep interviewing and negotiate again lol
if you haven't accepted
I mean for negotiation you can have an offer from a more prestigious firm with lower tc
that's the spirit lol
jump maybe
for swe
anyway you're great
muted summit
how long would you say it took to get your cs fundamentals down @inner kernel
just curious

but Netflix pay << Cit, they're not trading lol
i mean Netfilix beats every tech
but not trading
esp for interns
I mean if you're tired of finding jobs
you can accept the return
true lol
maybe you find working at cit much more cosuming
quaint bolt
Yeah quants are more flexible with this than tech companies
I watch what I say very carefully with google bc I know they tend to say “just accept your other offer then lol get dunked on”
So it really depends on who you’re working with
