is the algo dev test also leetcode style questions
lc I'd say? at least 3/4 are
but they're very math heavy
1/4 required knowledge of pandas for file parsing into a dataframe
so that wasn't like lc unless lc started adding those
jaunty cove
they dont teach that on leetcode how am i supposed to know how to parse data 
violet kelp
and that 1/4 was confusing asf. I worked with parsing files in pandas at my internship last summer
and I was still confused
violet kelp
they dont teach that on leetcode how am i supposed to know how to parse data <:m...
tbh idk, but that's prolly why algo dev is super difficult
almost made me question my major there😭
jaunty cove
yeah it makes sense tho if your the person developing the algorithms you probably should be cracked af
violet kelp
yeah, I only fully understood how to do #1
everything else was just too confusing for me

what if i don’t go bears my way into a ddog offer
jaunty cove
no
static spindle
true
this can either make it or break it. For some companies final might be hardest because they can start asking questions to what they do specifically or language based questions and such. It gives the interviewers freedom to find weak points vs something more standardized
no final hardest

Optiver or Roblox?

Optiver or Roblox?
optiver for intern imo
you can learn how to do dynamic programming since you know its asked on OAs, but if im a c++ programmer i wont know shit about js questions
or if i havent taken a database class I wont know shit about database indexing
LC wise yeah I agree
but imo finals are harder because you aren't guaranteed to just do LC

- clarify the problem
- explain your solution
- write your code
- clarify again and walk thru it + test it
- put the ball back in interviewer's court, what else do they wanna know?
Step 3 can be the hardest if you're prone to nerves duh. Some people feel uncomfortable being watched while coding or like talking too much / too little. There is no better way to fix than practice and finding what works for you
Remember, fully working code is the BEST outcome
soft basin
ur interviewer is also there to help guide you most of the time :)
near swallow
even if you sweat bullets to get there, even if your tests are garbage, and your explanation is garbage
if the code works, this is good
don't be garbage at soft skills but it's fact
soft basin
talk out ur thoughts
near swallow
you are right in theory tbh, i don't like to add that bandwidth to my mind unless they ask lol
echo lynx
Why?
near swallow
most are easy to ideate but i just wanna write code
soft basin
i ask my interviewer if they want it
and if they do then i get into the complexity stuff
sinful locust
i ask my interviewer if they want it

fr, this is why at every step of your interview you should be VERY open to "what does the interviewer want"
sinful locust

soft basin
imma be abusing this good stuff in seattle
near swallow
it's their game, their rules
soft basin
yeah i always ask the interviewer what they want
near swallow
You can look up some of those dumb reddit threads of people asking facebook for itnerview results via the GDRP privacy laws or whatever if you're tweaking about this
u can see what gets points docked
but just make your code WORK
soft basin
in all of my interviews i could never run my code
jaunty cove
thats scary
near swallow
run your mental interpreter
jaunty cove
clang c++17 (mental version)
night vault
hey for coding interview tests do you have to import java packages
near swallow
straight up wait, take it easy, add some silent pause, you can just ask too
write after coding ends, I often ask "how does this look?"
the douchebags will make you feel bad
"don't ask me, you know what to do"
but most will tell u exactly what they want
usuall test or explain or give complexity
soft basin
whenever i can ask questions in the end i ask abt what their favorite part of the job is and what the work life balance is like
near swallow
well it's a compromise. you have built enough skillz at this point to instantly know
"this is a problem i can optimize"
but yeah essentially working shitty solution > anything
because optimized literally means nothing if it doesn't work
soft basin
bc i’m curious
near swallow
yeah it's fine, don't feel like u have to explain some shitty brute force
if optimal comes to mind just jump in
jaunty cove
that guy fucked up so bad
soft basin
i did it for amazon and c1
floral sierra
tbh if a company is accepting brute force i wouldn’t work there
jaunty cove
depends on the question
near swallow
My last bit of advice is kind of controversial. Which is don't stress on the soft skills aspect. They are testing your technical skills. You have to be ABYSMALLY GRASS CHALLENGED to get a working solution and still fail
soft basin
🤷♂️
near swallow
yeah so that's kind of the point, they filtered ur soft skills to a degree by resume screening
and just as a corollary of cooperating with the interviewer
they can see in a resume screen "ok this person has worked on a team" etc
soft basin
i asked my interviewer that bc we were talking abt having our own lives outside work and etc
near swallow
I just think the soft skills convo is talked about too much online
people like to say it's something you need to work on a lot
when it's still 95% pure raw grind lol
soft basin
the soft skills is literally just be a regular human
near swallow
they're still gonna ask you pretty technical questions
i see ur point hto
jaunty cove
the soft skills is literally just be a regular human
idk, being a regular human isnt going to answer “why are you a good fit at this company” if the company is full of cracked ppl
soft basin
i haven’t been asked that before lol
jaunty cove
the whole intevriew is trying to answer that question

idk, being a regular human isnt going to answer “why are you a good fit at this ...
basically if you are very bad at these sort of social softball questions
you have to invoke the energy you had writing essays due the next morning at midnight
you just have to say something not stupid

actually take that back cause formatting fucked on my phone but yea that train of thought (top down recursive tree + memo) should be okay
I think the easier way would be 2d dp array
it’s creating a 2 dimensional array and constructing the answer bottom up

would highly recommend checking it out

random mauve
Ok so here's a question. Would you pick:
🇦 : HFT (Amsterdam) SWE Intern w/ low ...
Do u go to a target?
junior hull
very true lmao
yes, after it i will be starting my final year
yeah this is the problem
I ultimately want to work in HFT but would be happy in Palantir the thing is regardless I'd really like a grad job set up before starting final year
hearty river
yo
junior hull
so it's like I take Optiver, the risk is that I don't get a return offer then have to go through all the application processes all over again...
junior hull
Do u go to a target?
UK T10 / Russell Group
yeah the whole name thing is a problem
it's like Optiver is a better name for HFT, which I ultimately would prefer to work in, but more of a risk for return offer
Do you think having Optiver on my CV will make other apps to HFTs a lot easier or just purely a guaranteed OA?
i dread having to go through hours and hours of interviewing rounds again
though I assume if I don't get into HFT sooner rather than later, it'll be harder and harder to break into
junior hull
the Palantir recruiter did know Optiver, i have calls with Pal on monday then Optiver on tuesday to talk about the offers
I was leaning to Optiver, I guess I just want to 100% make sure I'm making the right choice by getting as much info /perspectives as possible first
low vale
recruiters at big tech and unicorns will almost certainly know about hfts lol
junior hull
big life decisions ngl, literally the beginning of a career
low vale
even though a lot of people think recruiters are incompetent, its literally their job to know about these things
people go from quant to tech and tech to quant all the time
i highly doubt people in tech wouldn't know about hfts
junior hull
yeah
but people applying to FAANG internships will likely be also applying to HFT
or at least, there will be a big amount doing that
i didn't have to explain to my recruiter about Optiver / who they were, i mentioned them and she was like "yep"

have calls on Monday for Pal, Tues for Opti

id personally go opt

my main anxiety for it would just be from the whole return offer rate of like 50%
i was talking to a previous intern and he said it was competitive
they just 'pick the best half'

but the point above made about just having it on my CV is a good one
