2023_summer

[jaunty cove]

imagine getting a math phd and not making it past any QR interviews

just get good at both

there is a big overlap between the skills required

to do hard leetcode problems and these interview problems

[lean pewter]

i think trading is just iq, don't get iq diff and ur good
i feel like swe anyone can attain or at least answer all the questions w enough practice

at least where i interned they got paid 50+

[jaunty cove]

trader seems more like iq issue swe is skill issue but still i feel like you can def improve on your ability to solve clever puzzles

well

[lean pewter]

levels is off a lot of time

[jaunty cove]

traders make a fuck ton of bonuses swe's dont make as much

[lean pewter]

oh wait

i respinded

to wrong messsage

i meant to respond to n3

[jaunty cove]

i hope i dont get iq gapped

that doesnt mean anything

[lean pewter]

lol same, i'm p fucking stupid that's why im code monkey

[jaunty cove]

some of the people im competing with were better at math than i am now, when they were 12

usually i can just obsesively learn things until im better at it than most people

[static spindle]

i passed amc, where is my JS offer

[rugged knoll]

do you guys recommend using LC tagged or the discord bots list of tagged questions?

[lean pewter]

lol some ppl r just built diff, some dude i practiced competitive math with was making aime since 2nd grade

[jaunty cove]

but lowkey trading sounds way more fun than swe

[frigid gate]

hey guy I got the final interview for SDE Amz

[lean pewter]

i mean at least for a couple offers i got, the comp was off or it had right comp but the split between the comps were off by a bit

[frigid gate]

now 16 principles until dead as faq

[jaunty cove]

wholesome goku

[stray halo]

I took Amz Intern VO on 9/7 but I still haven’t got the result

Who can tell me why

[jaunty cove]

you got blacklisted

[static spindle]

whats vo

oh

[frigid gate]

Also anyone have ever try OA of Citadel ?

[static spindle]

virtual onsite

[jaunty cove]

virtual onsite isnt very onsite

[frigid gate]

how many chance to get to the next round if get all test case passed ?

[lean pewter]

^ i got like a couple dollars hr more for company i was originally signed to, tho i ended up reneging

[stray halo]

I don’t think so

[jaunty cove]

jeff bezos told me bro

yup exactly
i want to code at my job but just to help me solve math problems

[static spindle]

🤓

[tall idol]

Amazon 2x60 final tomorrow

[frigid gate]

good luck bro

[tall idol]

Every single offer

Cuz Zuck won’t gimme return offer

[lean pewter]

honestly, if i can just do mostly math and get cs degree that would be ideal scenario

[tall idol]

Lol already scheduled HRT interview next week

I don’t think I’m gonna pass it either honestly

[jaunty cove]

idk ive been able to pass resume filters a decent amount with applied math degree

i dont think its as bad as peopel say

as long as you demonstrate cs knowledge

[lean pewter]

i like brito's class for that reason, the last question of hw was p fun combo problem

[jaunty cove]

like i have projects + tutoring in cs + an upcoming internship in cs so people can tell i know some coding

i did math cause its easier to teach myself coding than math

[lean pewter]

i think math at op school is just as good as a cs degree

[jaunty cove]

def in grad school

[lean pewter]

i'd major in math if gt had much better math program

[jaunty cove]

are you in masters at gt

[sinful locust]

[lean pewter]

no need to be so hard on urself, ur like leetcode and discrete god

[sinful locust]

just need to practice

[jaunty cove]

not only are you smart but you seem well composed and pretty sociable which is a big advantage

[sinful locust]

🐐

[lean pewter]

he's the founder of leetcode

[jaunty cove]

better than a lot of ppl at lesat

[sinful locust]

i remember when you had that get together outside of rising roll

which ones did you do

glassdoor for JS is best

[lean pewter]

I mean those questions are hard

[static spindle]

goldman quant OA had linear algebra 😔

[sinful locust]

yep

https://www.madandmoonly.com/doctormatt/mathematics/dice1.pdf

absolute goated resource

shouldnt think like that

[jaunty cove]

i was asked topology / geometry on a quant OA

[sinful locust]

yea you dont needto be imo

but it is very very hard yes

havent really met the kids at my school yet but im excited

UCSD i transferred from UCR

[lean pewter]

[sinful locust]

LMAO

I THINK IK WHO UR TALKING AB

we might be the same

[lean pewter]

interesting

i mean it probably doesn't hurt to ask

[jaunty cove]

you could phrase it less bluntly

like "im thrilled to work with you guys soon. i noticed there are projects available on [topic] which i am interested in/qualified for because of [xyz]. i would love to help out with this stuff"

that sounds good to me

but i dont ahve experience doing this

[crisp berry]

damn do u have past exp at faang or something

how to get reached out

[hollow sorrel]

i ask myself this question everyday

[naive kayak]

hey guy I got the final interview for

[frigid gate]

[hallow scroll]

palantir care but they still interviewed me

🇺🇸

[crisp thicket]

[jaunty cove]

[jaunty cove]

[jaunty cove]

i only know imc and jane street

ya

dark mode resume

there is too much text

can you make all the bullet points one line

ok

idk anything about pm

[hallow scroll]

ok

maybe a project

[jaunty cove]

do you have room to put your reddit karma

if its over 500 you should put it

making the margins smaller will force it over one page

oh

i see what u mean by smaller

idk

i think youre right

i think its smaller

idk how product managers work all i know is that looks like a lot of text for someone who doesnt have years and years of industry experience

its just too much text

canadian moment

its just less intuitive

[undone river]

4 point scale I think

I just bombo final

Basically the same as skipping it

[jaunty cove]

otherwise your resume looks very good tho

its not a bad problem to have too much stuff to put on your resume

better than not having anything

lool

girlfriend application

ya

your applying to be their girlfriend

😐

[crisp berry]

yeah americans dont care about % at all they just use gpa

https://www.whatsmygpa.ca/

[turbid marten]

[low vale]

did you just cap your own comment?

[jaunty cove]

tryna keep it peaceful is a struggle for me 😤

rule 1 of coding never write css

[sharp moat]

anyone know what wolverine phone interview is like

[hallow scroll]

how to get uber interview

[jaunty cove]

[jaunty cove]

Lmaooo

[hallow scroll]

lyfttttttt

I am working in person tmr for my internship

yes

[hardy patrol]

jarvis click on tenor gifs search "me trying to find who asked" and click the first one

https://tenor.com/view/who-asked-me-trying-to-find-who-asked-spongebob-spunch-bob-gif-22526294

[jaunty cove]

Lmao

[hardy patrol]

i fucking hate coin change

[jaunty cove]

yea

[hallow scroll]

google gave me coin change on crack

[hardy patrol]

just getting it out there that its the most annoying dp question

[jaunty cove]

coin change 2 is worse

cant you cache dfs coin change

[hardy patrol]

google recruiter emailing you a bag of loose change and telling you to sort it on zoom

[jaunty cove]

😐

[hardy patrol]

you can do dfs for coin change

[jaunty cove]

i think u did

[hardy patrol]

im not doing it that way though since i need dp help

[hallow scroll]

WTF

CAT DECAPITATION

[jaunty cove]

class Solution:
    def coinChange(self, coins: List[int], amount: int) -> int:
        @cache
        def change(amount):
            if amount == 0:
                return 0
            if amount < 0:
                return 2**31
            count = 2**31
            for coin in coins:
                result = 1 + change(amount - coin)
                count = min(count, result)
            return count
        x = change(amount)
        return x if x < 2**31 else -1

this is dfs

yeah i dont understand jump game dp

i only understand greedy

[hardy patrol]

whats @jolly spade for btw

[jaunty cove]

😐

[jaunty cove]

if you already called function f with parameters a, b, c, d. then next time you call it it will just return the last answer it returned instead of calculating everything

I hate jump game

i keep going back to it to understand it

[hardy patrol]

thats insane

[jaunty cove]

thats why a bunch of people call themselves lru cahce none

if i think its a dumb problem i spent 20 minutes if i think its cool i figure it out on my own

basically

goku asked me that this morning

and i

explained how i havent figured out super egg drop

but im not goign to look at the solution until i figure it out

thanks

[weak wadi]

bro why does rito not love me

[jaunty cove]

how does this time out

class Solution:
    def canJump(self, nums: List[int]) -> bool:
        @cache
        def f(i):
            if i >= len(nums) - 1:
                return True
            for landing in reversed(range(i+1, i+nums[i]+1)):
                if f(landing):
                    return True
            
            return False
        
        return f(0)

it makes no sense to me

how is this not O(N^2)

i need n3 tutoring

y

ea

it kind of makes sense tho

he has internship offers that pay $120 + an hour so its an opportunity cost thing

[hardy patrol]

oh shit this sort of makes sense

[jaunty cove]

ya

now do coin change 2

and suffer

[hardy patrol]

is cc2 hard or med

[jaunty cove]

medium

[stark basin]

bro I wrote that 2 months ago wtf

[hardy patrol]

yea i looked up coin change

[jaunty cove]

you awakened the dwemer centurion

[hardy patrol]

anyways fuck coin change

[jaunty cove]

if stripe asks coin change the answer is you should be using electronic payments not coins

[hardy patrol]

for coin change why do we have to initialize 0 in our dp array

whats the benefit of finding out how many coins it takes to find the amount 0

i did but im just trying to understand it thoroughly

[jaunty cove]

it takes 0 coins to find the amount 0

you need a base case

[hollow field]

is scale ai oa automated

[hardy patrol]

right so regardless of the coins available that base case is going to always apply

i see

[jaunty cove]

idk

what sup

@rustic topaz

who

[hallow scroll]

asked

[jaunty cove]

crige

[hallow scroll]

cuz i can

[static spindle]

its ok i gotchu @hallow scroll

[wooden shard]

Hey does anyone know how long instabase takes to respond after O?

OA

[jaunty cove]

im going to reapply to instabase

i think they rejected me by mistake

[wooden shard]

Lol i reapplied

And they gave me OA second time

[hardy patrol]

try being real

[ivory wing]

ayy does anyone know what to expect for de shaw final

[hardy patrol]

coin change sol is insanely smart i understand it now

dp is king

[jaunty cove]

ya

[hardy patrol]

i love dynamic programming i love to solve sub solutions starting from a base case then work my way up to the answer using the previous sub solution

[jaunty cove]

jump trading has a really nice website i think ill apply

[hardy patrol]

gl

[jaunty cove]

dynamic programming affirmations

cache

they only have trader internship in london 🙁

yeah

tradinfg

quantitative

what is s&t

[ivory wing]

bruh they got me for a half day of interviews tmrw and idk what to expect

[soft mist]

is this swe intern or systems tech

[ivory wing]

swe intern. it's second round, maybe final

[soft mist]

expect an annoying set of behavioral questions every interview, math on the second round as youll be interviewed by a qr, and a bunch of leetcode

[jaunty cove]

that doesnt sound like i get to do as much coding and highrolling and math

not very epic

[south oak]

does instabase send everyone the oa?

[ivory wing]

damn, thanks for the tip

[jaunty cove]

https://leetcode.com/problems/cherry-pickup

end me

wtf is this problem

it looks so easy and its not

[ivory wing]

your mom's house

[south oak]

did u get oa?

ahh rip

[jaunty cove]

why arent you doing trading if youre studying math at harvard

why start coding

[south oak]

hr ☕

[ivory wing]

sexy

[south oak]

not a bad jacket actually

[ivory wing]

LOL i got some HRT merch just for going to the career fair

they'll reject me too

[south oak]

also did anyone get instabase final yet?

I didn't do too hot on oa

got 400/450 on codesignal

[jaunty cove]

interesting

man i thought it was a gca

the fck

[south oak]

like score wise

they don't rank out of 850 for instabase

i passed all test cases for first question and 10/14 for last one

ye

[jaunty cove]

your kidding

only 15

they are probably full

already

your ex is a bad actor

[south oak]

WTF 15?????

yeah def got rejected lol

[jaunty cove]

i wish more companies had an insanely fcking hard OA and a light resume screen

[south oak]

howd u do on the oa btw

[robust swallow]

wait 15 in total???

[jaunty cove]

idk if snowflake resume screens hard but their oa is ridiculous

[south oak]

passed all cases?

[jaunty cove]

does akuna still resume screen hard after their brutal C++ oa

[south oak]

i got lc med on my 2nd

[jaunty cove]

ya one time i got a q2 on codesignal that was harder than most q4s

glitch in the matrix

[wraith token]

F

[jaunty cove]

its ok

it was a practice

🙂

[wraith token]

Why tho

[jaunty cove]

bc my resume is shit and im good at leetcode

relatively good

not actually good

[wraith token]

Need to fix other way around

[south oak]

do u think its possible for final with 10/14 on last question

[jaunty cove]

what is your actual score

[wraith token]

I think grinding projects is better imo

[jaunty cove]

yea

projects are a huge time sink

[south oak]

they didnt give a score

[jaunty cove]

with diminishing returns

[south oak]

but got 400/450 points

[jaunty cove]

unless you make a startup or something

or like you make an operating system and your applying to quant firm swe

idk

[wraith token]

To get FAANG internship have good projects

Then be good at leetcode

[jaunty cove]

your missing step 2 which is you get resume screened from all faangs but amazon

[wraith token]

A team project where you worked with others for an extended period of time on relevant tech

[fathom hazel]

[jaunty cove]

hes saying

faang > projects

[wraith token]

Damn what are you paid tointerview ???

How the fuck does that work

[sand orbit]

literally every internship > projects lol

[jaunty cove]

yea

[sand orbit]

unless you have 100+ stars on the project

[jaunty cove]

project good if a company finds you because of the project not the other way around

i dont understnd the intuitoin

of

most dp is ok for me now

not this

i would if i can afford it

i did not think of

dp[i][j] being paths from top left AND bottom right

i wouldnt have come up with that

ever

https://leetcode.com/problems/palindrome-partitioning-ii/

Is this jump game

[spark hearth]

no

jump game is jump game

[jaunty cove]

thanks

its actually coin change

in disguise

most dp problems are coin change or LIS in disguise

😐

literally found an old TLE solution for palindrome partitioning IV. added @jolly spade above my dfs function and its faster than 70%

this is a meme

its a classic dp problem

its not greedy

e.g. make 80 cents with quarters and dimes. greedy means you choose 3 quarters get 75 cents and your fked

[glad garnet]

is there a difference between cognitive assessment and normal leetcode style oa?

[south oak]

how'd you do?

[wooden shard]

Passed everything lol

For frontend

[south oak]

damn I missed some cases on the last q

[proud whale]

what is microsoft final like

2x45 it seems but what does it consis tof

[weak wadi]

10-15 minutes introduction, 1 coding question each

normally it's coding but sometimes the interviewers just give you behavioral questions

and then if you finish the coding problems they may ask you some behavioral

LC med if it's not explore

LC Easy if it's explore

[hardy patrol]

is explore the same as amazon propel

same pay/title but just for people who barely passed

coin change

nvm explore is for freshman/sophmore

[jaunty cove]

send dp questions plz

or bit manipulation

aww

wait htis is edit distnace

that gif fits well with the jurassic park theme song

thanks for sharing

is there a sexy way to return the logical or of a set of boolean values generated by a loop

in python

asking for a friend

[limpid crater]

I thought propel is for 1/2nd year

[jaunty cove]

regex matching is

painhub

i do not understand what it is asking

i dont know regex

i feel like the way they explained how the . and * operators work is ambiguous

like how s = "", p = "b*" returns true

idk

i will kill them

if so

actually i got a question on an OA for a pretty well known company

where you had to write a regex

as the answer

and it wasnt like you could simulate regex with python

you had to write regex

identify distractions

what distracts you

probably discord??

are you diagnosed with adhd

do you have access to decent healthcare? where you can get tested for it?

yeah me too

thats how i ended up with a shitty gpa not knowing i had a learning difference

does your school have healthcare

for you

have you talked to your parents or whoever takes care of you and asked about getting tested for adhd

adderall > noise canceling headphones > headphones > caffeine

for things to prevent distractions

for me

and taking care of yourself

imo dont start taking it unless your prescribed it

its risky to self diagnose

yes

it makes me normal

i would have prefered not to suffer for a decade not knowing i had adhd

😐

were you a stripe intern

goku you should be doing leetcode rn

you worry too much if your studying correctly

why are you on discord then

yea also i can hyperfocus on leetcode because i findf it extremely fun

i will put in a good word for you bro

yea i have to learn java for the interview

🤢

apparently some guy asked if he could use C++ in the final round and the interviewer made him use Java bc he didnt know C++

dont you know java

do 1 problem a day at least

i came full circle scripting languages are sexy

[golden root]

Weren’t people saying google was going to open today? I wonder when

[little scroll]

Hi Guys! I ma new to this channel. How to prepare for the coding round of Google SWE Intern for Summer 2023?

[mystic depot]

Anybody know how long Amazon takes to respond after OA

Like a week?

[jaunty cove]

2 years

[little scroll]

I haven't. I want to prepare.

The ad for opening comes in Oct or Nov.

[strange rain]

Maybe they meant EU? Just opened today.

[golden root]

hmm I notice the PM internship is open.. for US but that might have always been open?

[strange rain]

Yea, I think that one has been open for a while

[pearl dagger]

where do you guys prep for front-end interviews?

[stone echo]

anyone have a hubspot final today or tomorrow

[mystic depot]

Ye eu opened today

[crisp peak]

Wtf you too?

This was my set up for years so I was surprised to see the same LOL

[woeful lynx]

Unfortunately I can’t use the pdf as stand 😦😂

[fading siren]

i thought all hubspot finals were happening in oct

[vagrant urchin]

anyone have an actual confirmation of when google will open?

[tired narwhal]

waiting too 🥲

for the US one

[obsidian sedge]

Google intern might open soon

Supposed to be today

[quaint bolt]

But when will google winter host matching begin

[tired narwhal]

are u in the winter / summer google tm? is it ok to dm if so? my gf in it and some wonky news been hearing for ppl trying to switch to summer / winter

[tired narwhal]

couldnt sleep 🥲 as trying to check for my gf this stupid app coming out today hopefully soon

[quaint bolt]

Sure

[oak kite]

don't you have a fulltime job lol?

[tired narwhal]

lol. low key google process sucks tho it just soooo annoying, annoying when i went thro it, annoying now

[quaint bolt]

I respect it I was like that during my honeymoon phase too

[tired narwhal]

yeh

tm, can take a while tho

[quaint bolt]

team matching can be v rng

[tired narwhal]

also depending when ur hm finished could be bad tm timeline

why we tried to move her towards summer, but google recruiters are saying potentially fall offers that got switch to winter / summer “might” need to do another interview

like wtf

actually mad

[quaint bolt]

but like if you've got skills that aligns with most of their projects (usually C++/Go) it can be pretty straightforward

[tired narwhal]

yea hopefully along with if ur up front in the team matching process

[quaint bolt]

and if you've worked at big n before, managers would love to have you

[tired narwhal]

oh good to know, didnt think of this

[quaint bolt]

my recruiter told me that back in January 2022 after I passed interviews for S22 and wanted to push to W23

W23 apps came out and I emailed her about pushing to W23 after applying online and she replied in 5 mins and moved me straight away no interviews

tho I was at banana corp over the summer so that prolly helped, if you didn't do anything in a long gap like that then maybe they would've asked for more interviews

[tired narwhal]

ohhh good to know. gf just finished zon internship this last summer, so similar profile. praying that nothing chgs then. the recruiter@told her on friday, “new directions” this coming two weeks might cause a new interview depending per recruiter but shall see. hopefully none then

[quaint bolt]

new directions? for winter?

it's prolly bc winter hm is supposed to start november

[soft basin]

is google out now?

[tired narwhal]

i heard for summer / winter. ours in in context of summer, but we asked recruiter if she does winter cna she avoid another interview. and they said it was the same situation, will depend on future recruiter

[quaint bolt]

also winter -> summer should be v easy to do. my recruiter gave me the choice to stay in and move if I don't get a winter match or move rn if I want

[quaint bolt]

I would recommend that she doesn't do winter

“Hope you are doing well. I just wanted to reach out and let you know that we will be having a Winter 2023 Project Search but it will be very limited in the amount of projects we will be having for that season. The projects will be mostly focused on PhD and Waterloo candidates with a few BS/MS projects approved.

I do not expect the matching process to begin before November but will update you if anything changes. If you also wish to move to Summer 2023 instead please let me know, you can also do so if you do not receive a Winter 2023 project.

Let me know if you have any questions, “

this man was begging for amazon like a few weeks ago 🙄

[lofty bluff]

first world problmes

[quaint bolt]

Sure I’ll take a look later today

What

Did i not tell you to put it on your resume like 200 times

Then no

So you gotta wait for the seasons after amazon

[soft basin]

canadian L

[tired narwhal]

like 10 mins

when i sent it was prob within first 2 mins of it coming ouy

i kept refreshing lul

it was supposed to come out today

[oak kite]

does google location matter when applying to their internships?

[vapid pecan]

if i apply to the MS position for google

will the process be more difficult than the BS position?

[mild compass]

yo sameeee

[tired narwhal]

as above 🤣 for my gf. she has fall offer > moving it to summer. recruiter can only do it after summer app came out and applied, to move her. hopefully they dont give her another interview .-. is what they said is a potential, but yeh. so been waiting for this dumb app to come out for a month now

[mild compass]

yes

[tired narwhal]

they usually will reask u down later in the process when u fill out tm form

as long u got the main locatiosn down ur fine

hq has shit ton hc

[obsidian sedge]

do you know if they'll reopen new grad again?

I hope they don't tbh

[mild compass]

headcount

[obsidian sedge]

headcount

[mild compass]

i think

ill go to north korea for this

[obsidian sedge]

there's more space in hq basically 😂

[tired narwhal]

idk at all. my guess is if they dont reopen again, then like in covid 2021, they prob wont do it rest the year and only did the august one (if they even end up processing those), to limit hc

if they do come out with ng should be nxt couple weeks. they tend to release late sept

[soft basin]

wo xi huan xijinping

wo bu xihuan goku

[obsidian sedge]

pog, so i guess i gotta get through my process as fast as i can to beat the hc 😂 😂

[soft basin]

u do not need this info

i stay silent

[obsidian sedge]

sir noodles is an enigma

[soft basin]

🤨

[static spindle]

what

[obsidian sedge]

????????????

bro? 🤨

[static spindle]

no dont eyebrow yourself

[soft basin]

what?

[obsidian sedge]

strange behavior from cs major are we surprised

[static spindle]

this is what no grass does to a mf

[obsidian sedge]

^

[hollow sorrel]

are u auto rejected if you dont have perfect score on IMC oa?

[tired narwhal]

no clue. google a strange one

just gotta keep track broader community responses

google timelines always fluctuate

[hushed crystal]

Anyone know what it means to have a Palantir recruiter schedule a call? I didn't even apply

[static spindle]

he’s too good 😔

[carmine aurora]

G apps live

[tired narwhal]

it just using a sourcing call, like if ur interested etc

lol surprised, they quite responsive i thought, guess roll the dice

[tulip aspen]

i have 1 more g app for my referral, should i do APM intern or data sci intern?

[lofty bluff]

for HashMap<Integer, Integer> map how would i get it so it returns all the keys in an array?

[soft basin]

map.keySet()

@lofty bluff

[lofty bluff]

ty but im getting this error now

[soft basin]

it’s a set so you’ve gotta find a way to convert that to an array

so just do .toArray()

[lofty bluff]

now it says this

object[] cannot be converted to int[]

[soft basin]

probs a casting issue cuz java is very strict with types

[summer sequoia]

whats the name of the app that tells you when someone reads your email you sent with gmail?

[tardy ridge]

Ocient has a 2.5 hour OA?

Anyone taken it? Wtf is this 2.5 hours

[obsidian sedge]

technically you have an array of Integer [] not int []

Integer is an object

[hardy patrol]

is microsoft phone behavioural

[obsidian sedge]

that line isn't even necessary really since you can just dump it all in a set and return the size of the set

[hardy patrol]

i know that guy posted his whole msft phone email and it had a codability but i heard mixed stuff

[obsidian sedge]

I think the OA is new this year

[hushed crystal]

Oh bet

How much prep should I do?

[hushed crystal]

hahaha nah no way I think they rolled a dice and picked a LinkedIn

[soft basin]

yeah he got kicked out

cuz he didn’t know how to delete

[lofty bluff]

so how would i convert it to int

:/

[obsidian sedge]

i wanna say you have to do some stream shit

but i don't remember exactly how to do it

[soft basin]

yeah since all ur doing is returning the size u could’ve just made a hashset and returned the size of that

[lofty bluff]

more stuff i never learned before 😭

naw it also tests for duplicates

[soft basin]

sets can’t have dupes

[obsidian sedge]

what is the problem asking for, is it asking for a new array without the duplicates or is it just asking for the length of the new array

[soft basin]

^^

[lofty bluff]

it's asking for both, excpet not a new array just the nums array

buut manipulated

[soft basin]

worst case just manually create a new array of ints the size of the current map and put the numbers into that

[lofty bluff]

so that for example

1112222333

before 123

and anything after 123 doesnt mater

like it can be 123222111

[obsidian sedge]

right okay

so in place modification

[lofty bluff]

i can't create a new array for it btw

i saw how to solve it online but i want to get better at hashmaps

[soft basin]

alr so just loop through the hashmap and edit the first k values of the array where k is the size of the map

and keep it at that

[obsidian sedge]

assuming that its sorted, i'd do a fast/slow pointer approach personally. Move the fast pointer until you find a new value and then swap

[soft basin]

u mentioned rest of the array doesn’t matter

[lofty bluff]

yea

[hardy patrol]

werent you the one that the guy was debating over whether it was behavioral or not

[lofty bluff]

as long as the first part is correctly sorted

[hardy patrol]

why did he have a codability link though

[tired narwhal]

for the initial call no prep, it just chill

karat is pretty easy to pass

the actual palantir interview is very very diff tho

much more practically driven, and basically algo is more of a side thing other than the first round for their onsite

everything else is closer to OOD design / practical design considerations, (without needing to know scaling / sharding / swe2 stuff)

[low vale]

Yo do you have a palantir offer?

[tired narwhal]

i had it last year when i did meta / g

[low vale]

I got my hm round soon, do you have any advice for that?

[tired narwhal]

ohhh

It basically practical design, not the question but similar to the previous rounds

where they asked u, how would u design this

• behavioral which was pretty much a fun convo

about why u wanna join / projects / ur bg all that

[soft basin]

loop through keyset and set the first k values of nums to what’s in key set

[low vale]

Oh okay

[tired narwhal]

yeh, it pretty easy

[quaint bolt]

Depending on how well you did on your final it might be all behavioural

[tired narwhal]

they just wanna see how u think

[quaint bolt]

It was fully behavioural for me

[low vale]

I thought it was previously behaviroal

[tired narwhal]

it was behavioral for me + the design part

[low vale]

Oh okay okay

[tired narwhal]

maybe i was unique

if imagine is saying all behavioral

[grand bane]

has anyone done the redfin final?

[obsidian sedge]

you need no additional memory

[quaint bolt]

No it’s usually this

[echo lynx]

Hey ma people.

[obsidian sedge]

according to the problem

[soft basin]

he was using the hashmap already

[obsidian sedge]

yah you rly shouldn't use a hashmap lol

[soft basin]

wait it’s already sorted

so a 2 pointer approach is def needed

[lofty bluff]

yea i dont think i can use a hashmap here

[soft basin]

one pointer for which part of the array already has unique values and one pointer for which part of the array ur currently at

[lofty bluff]

how do i know when to use a hashmap?

[soft basin]

think of filling out indices like what you would do with quick sort

[mystic depot]

i got one as well lol, u got frontend one? im just gonna do it and see what happens

[soft basin]

when there’s no space restrictions and you somehow need access to data at O(1)

[lofty bluff]

i see

[echo lynx]

Hey ma people.
Hope you guys had an amazing weekend.

I had a quick question.

What time do you guys think Facebook and Netflix Internships would go live?

[soft basin]

unless u need to keep track of something else

hashset is only checking for duplicates

yes but it’s also saying O(1) space meaning u can’t use a hashset

[echo lynx]

^ What do you guys think about this?

[soft basin]

we don’t know

[echo lynx]

Ah really?
For which one?
Facebook or Netflix?

[grave skiff]

I dunno if netflix has taken interns for a while, but I would think meta would be opening soon?

[tardy ridge]

Did you hear back after OA?

And for what position

[echo lynx]

Ah hmm.
How did you get to know that though?

Was it on their site?

[grave skiff]

bruh anyone got their amazon offer yet?

[naive kayak]

hubspot phone in 4 hours

[echo lynx]

Ah, you're just guessin?

[grave skiff]

smh

[soft basin]

got mine literally a month ago

[obsidian sedge]

Generally speaking, a hashmap is a good solution when you wanna do
A) Count frequency of something
B) Be able to access past data/calculations quickly
C) Create and then access data that isn't in a particular order and the position can't easily been identified
Of course there's more possible situations where it could be useful, but those are the main ones

Ah which one?

Facebook or Meta?

[obsidian sedge]

This chat is insufferable lol

[soft basin]

ong

[obsidian sedge]

I'm going back to the grad channel where people aren't children 😂

[tardy ridge]

😦

[echo lynx]

That can't be true though.
Cause in the career fair, the recruiter said there would be an internship.

[earnest hatch]

Only for new grad, they haven't put internships up yet

[echo lynx]

Do you mean Netflix internships?

[grave skiff]

Hope you okay homie

[keen phoenix]

Meta is doing internships this year

[grave skiff]

link?

How long from the final?

[keen phoenix]

Career fair they’re coming for SWE internships

[grave skiff]

Oh i meant how long after you took the final to get the offer. But CONGRATS THO

[soft basin]

meta is gonna make it harder yeah

[keen phoenix]

I know this been asked a lot but does anyone know if google referrals matter for internships

[soft basin]

they used to be the easiest for faang until amazon did oa->1x45

[keen phoenix]

Code jam too time consuming 😂

Oh I thought it was some hackathon or something lmao

[crisp peak]

netflix is out?

[soft basin]

amazon is super easy to get in once u get past resume screen but in the end it’s all rng

[echo lynx]

Link?

[crisp peak]

^ it's not out yet right

[soft basin]

their resume is rng

ngl he doesn’t flex that much we bring it up a lot lmao

goku is the most insufferable

[echo lynx]

Wow!!!

How much per hour??

Insane!!!

Ah

That's the best in the world by far right?!!!

[lofty bluff]

😮

is 100% good

[soft basin]

ik goku isn’t getting seattle so i’m safe 😌

we are broke college students 😔

[echo lynx]

Anyone know hrt offer per hour this year?

[soft basin]

ignore goku

it’ll save you

[glad garnet]

how do you reuse codesignal scores?

I dont know if I should click "start" on the terms and pledges section

it hasnt gave me an option to send in another score

[static spindle]

It won’t let you start if you’ve taken another one within the past 2 weeks

[glad garnet]

so I can only reuse score if I've taken it within past 2 weeks?

[lofty bluff]

anyone know how to fix this error

[static spindle]

yup

[soft basin]

use the single quotations

for '-'

bc "" represents a string in java while '' represents a character

[mossy compass]

how selective is instabase for GCA? is 820 worth sharing or do i need to grind something better

[lofty bluff]

ty

how do i deal with this error tho

[soft basin]

strings are immutable

u cant change that

[lofty bluff]

😮

[soft basin]

unless u somehow convert to a char array and then convert that back to a string

[slow quarry]

thank god google isnt auto oa

or else this whole chat would be malding

wait till fbu opens up

idfk why they decided to make it auto oa

if they screen by urm right after

[sinful locust]

Yeah

Urm 😵‍💫

[soft basin]

fbu is good for resume tho

[slow quarry]

read above

[soft basin]

im bing chillin rn

[lofty bluff]

does this not keep - at the front of a number if im trying to reverse it

[sinful locust]

Common pipeline I see at my school is step -> swe -> hft

[pulsar quarry]

can somebody help me with a general lc prep plan for this season in dms?

[frigid gate]

wait

how citadel process OA

bruh

I have all test passed and still rj ?

[obsidian cosmos]

anyone familiar w the Cisco meraki OA? they said it’s meant to assess ur level and doesn’t decide if u get rejected ,, how true is that 🧍🏽‍♀️

[frigid gate]

so bruh

[devout jewel]

bro my google recruiter is absolutely fucking stupid

I can’t move to summer unless I close winter

should I close winter or stay in winter

no 😦

[sterile pewter]

Can u apply with a different email

[devout jewel]

i already passed hc

so i would have to start the process from the beginning

[mossy compass]

the recruiter that picks up your summer app could theoretically use your HC results from fall - but youd still have to pass resume screen to get assigned to a recruiter which is sketch

[lofty bluff]

anyone know where this error is from

[devout jewel]

@mossy compass

[lofty bluff]

🙃

i dont like python

brackets are where it's at in this world 😤

[alpine gazelle]

Has anyone done the Palantir Engineering Manager round? My friend just did his and he got a leetcode question with very little behavioral. But some of the guys here are saying they got decomp or even no technical. Does it depend on onsite performance?
