[sinful locust]

it’s ur resume

[junior hull]

my resume is unlikely to be 'hrt ready' ngl

[sinful locust]

at that point

[jaunty cove]

but its optiver ready

[junior hull]

true but idk if the OA is automated for Optiver

[jaunty cove]

it is

they auto rejected me after i did it

and passed all cases

[junior hull]

then i'm gonna take that for being my way in more than my resume ngl

[jaunty cove]

• my own

[junior hull]

there are hidden hidden ones btw

like 20 more

[jaunty cove]

yea

i did a ton of edge cases on my own

it was resume

[junior hull]

did you get the report back?

[jaunty cove]

they gave a report?

i just got rejected

[junior hull]

ah see that's what i'm talking about with hidden hidden ones

i got given a report

with all the test case results

[half plinth]

how do u get apple interview burh

[junior hull]

and there were like 20 more than shown

much larger inputs

[jaunty cove]

where did they send tht

[junior hull]

either way who cares now

like a week after

[half plinth]

did u contct recruiter

damn

[jaunty cove]

maybe they only send it to people who move on

[junior hull]

possibly, the next interview had a 2min (literally) hackerrank review

dude was literally like

"do you know why you missed that one test case"

[jaunty cove]

this is all they told me

[half plinth]

when did u apply

[junior hull]

and i said "yes, i missed an equals sign"

[jaunty cove]

i bet they gave you the results so they can talk about it

[junior hull]

ye that makes sense and also

the document had answers in it

for the multi choice etc.

[half plinth]

oh interestin

[jaunty cove]

i dont remember multiple choice i just remember a tree problem and another one

[junior hull]

ohh

were you going for optiver chicago then?

[jaunty cove]

i think so

[junior hull]

mine was a 48hr, 7 questions

[jaunty cove]

[junior hull]

3 LC, 5 Multi choice though

[jaunty cove]

mine was just two relatively long problems

[junior hull]

i finished it in 2.5 hr, you don't need the whole 48 hr they just give it to avoid time pressure

anyway

the most satisfying feeling in the world

is withdrawing from the MS application

imagine MS getting resume screen'd BY ME

[sinful locust]

wait who specifically

is it a person that reached out or just the general team

[jaunty cove]

lol

may i ask what is appealing enough about palantir for you to weigh it against optiver @junior hull

[dense spear]

you may ask him, what would he change about each company, even

mfw only 55/hr

[junior hull]

honestly, I am 85% towards Optiver, the only reason palantir is still in my head is:

• I am slightly more interested in NYC (palantir) than Amsterdam (optiver)
• Getting a return offer would be easier at Palantir (aka grad job safety, can relax)
  -----> My only minor 'worry' about Optiver internship is just competing with other interns to get return offers.

[hallow scroll]

y apple simp if sad about 55/hr

apple is peanuts

[sinful locust]

no

apple OP

[hallow scroll]

they pay like 2 dollars an hour

[sinful locust]

tf

[sinful locust]

just be better than other interns

very hard but yea

so

[junior hull]

it's that easy! yeah I hope haha..

[sinful locust]

yea

[junior hull]

but also I don't want to be hyper competitive cut throat engineer

[sinful locust]

i feel like optiver could be more rewarding

yo baller

also is amsterdam same 115 pay

roblox OA was so fun

[junior hull]

levels.fyi is accurate for optiver right now yes

[sinful locust]

levels said amsterdam was 46 2 years ago, which is crazy to think

[junior hull]

it's just been doubling

salary moore's law

[sinful locust]

insane

when i interned at optiver 2 years ago

we got paid 15

volatility has been very well

[junior hull]

🤨

as in

[sinful locust]

it was me and @sinful locust

[junior hull]

15k per month?

[sinful locust]

no 15 per hour

baller was getting paid 20

[junior hull]

isn't that all HFTs?

[sinful locust]

i mean liquidity does help

and yea isnt that all market makers

[junior hull]

what the fuc

for optiver??

[sinful locust]

fam im jokin

lmao

jokic

optiver doesnt have researchers iirc

@sinful locust

or maybe they do

[junior hull]

ye i knew it

man none of these companies really improve the world

i thought that was kind of obvious being in tech

it has

and it hasn't

i'd say google has improved the world a lot more than HFTs

100%

[half plinth]

you have to go to albania

[safe minnow]

Yep

[sinful locust]

apple really doesnt help the world lmfao

[junior hull]

but also wouldn't say any companies are 'good' fully

[safe minnow]

Bro

[sinful locust]

its just the fucking same phone

every year

[junior hull]

like you will be working at a company that does bad things regardless

[sinful locust]

new number yeah

lol

thats about it

[jaunty cove]

10 year ago the iphone was innovative

selling $1300 phones to rich people isnt helping the world

[sinful locust]

dont think quants have sweatshops tho

[jaunty cove]

this

everyone loves a little liquidity in their markets 😛

what impact will you individually have at apple on the world

all the innovation alreadyh happened

working for a company that used to be innovative doesnt make you a better person

oh yeah

its kind of cringe that they felt the need to act like they are helping the world

[junior hull]

ye

[jaunty cove]

just be cool and make a lot of money

[junior hull]

lol

[jaunty cove]

and dont lie about it

[junior hull]

i really wanna know the amount of people asked in the behavioural "Why do you want to work here" who just said 'Money'

and if ANY of them got through past that

[half plinth]

off topic but how do u guys get better at pattern matching in lc

i did a lot of lc

[half plinth]

90/230/40

[jaunty cove]

😂

[half plinth]

but i feel like i still cant identify some meds patterns

topic, which is the issue

[jaunty cove]

im working on a good list of reasons why that are genuine and dont involve "money"

[junior hull]

it's easy to say... if you are ACTUALLY interested in the job. I don't get how that is a hard question

[jaunty cove]

at the end of the day my main reason is im competitive and i like making things fast though which i feel isnt good enough of a reason

[sinful locust]

No its not lol

[half plinth]

when ur doing lists it prob helps to figure out why a certainq matches a certain pattern and why it doesnt fit other pattertns but its still very hard to do that if u alr know the pattern

[sinful locust]

Thr 137 includes the bonus in the hourly figure

Its double counted

[junior hull]

for me it's:

• i find high-freq trading fascinating; to work on systems that execute orders in literally in the time it takes for light to go from the eiffel tower to the ground is crazy
• I don't want to be bored at my job, i want to be challenged
• I like a job where things change and I am always learning, because it is interesting

[sinful locust]

The base is 112/hr and then 10k bonus

[junior hull]

^ this

but 112 doesn't include the bonus

❤️

[sinful locust]

Yeah

But levels shows 137 and a bonus

[jaunty cove]

im hoping that being someone who loves solving challenging problems and loves to makes things efficient is a substantial enough reason for them

[junior hull]

yeah

you right, i misread

[jaunty cove]

generally speaking

[junior hull]

should be

and really

[sinful locust]

None of the other companies include the bonus in the hourly figure

[junior hull]

honestly

in my opinion

[sinful locust]

Someone should fix that shit

[junior hull]

most people underrate soft skills in these interviews

[half plinth]

hi @sinful locust

[junior hull]

my feedback from the final round was that they liked my passion a lot

which i think is genuinely important

like i vibed hard with my first interviewer on the onsite

dude was great

but i also actually did the work

[half plinth]

did u jsut talk abotu stuff in common

[junior hull]

not in that way

like

we were going through this problem scenario

and every now and then while clarifying things or whatever about the story etc. I'd just make a minor joke to lighten the mood

or he'd make one etc.

[half plinth]

the only jokes ik how to make are the sexual ones 😐

[twilit wharf]

i dont know how to be funny or make joke

[junior hull]

but also i was genuinely enjoying the 'learning' part of the interview specifically

[half plinth]

same

[junior hull]

you don't have to be a comedian

my point is

you don't have to take yourself so seriously

[sinful locust]

no jane street pays that as base

[junior hull]

like i missed a thing and called out myself for missing it

[twilit wharf]

treat it like a convoersation with friends?

[junior hull]

not quite

but more like a coworker

[sinful locust]

I have a friend who got the offer and confirmed it

[half plinth]

which friend

[sinful locust]

the guy who got canceled

[half plinth]

oh

:/

[hallow scroll]

endorsi?

[sinful locust]

wait @inner kernel is cit base now 120 for everyone

thats only with negotiation right

[sinful locust]

andrew tate

[hallow scroll]

real

[sinful locust]

cit used to say 107 on there

someone mustve changed it

[twilit wharf]

does cit mean citibank

[half plinth]

yes

[sinful locust]

yeah but it also is 120 for some people

yo

maybe someone who got the 120 offer put it in there

and fucked it up

yo

yo

I think levels just takes the highest number entered without verifying anything

[junior hull]

billions

[sinful locust]

ya ik a guy who got 425k return offer for IMC

somewhere on the order of a few million per employee

for swe

[junior hull]

yes

[sinful locust]

hello there

[junior hull]

usually they have a tiny employee count vs. their revenue

[topaz drum]

i think they still making a ton during the recession lol

thats insane

[junior hull]

they are making more from the recession

volatility

[twilit wharf]

i thought some are still operating at losses but get money through selling stock

[glad garnet]

how do you prepare for frontend/fullstack oa on codesignal? how is it different from a normal leetcode oa?

[hallow scroll]

its random

[junior hull]

they are pretty stable but gotta be careful of their activities sometimes. Knight Capital lost $440 million in an hour or two due to a bug, they had to be acquired/merged afaik

[sinful locust]

wait fr

fucking gqs

lol

[hallow scroll]

instabase has a frontend code signal that was a react component creation question and a lc problem but im gonna guess it can depend per company

[sinful locust]

are they actually paying more for that

[fathom hazel]

time to kill the software engineer that code that part

[junior hull]

haha

it was multiple negligence

essentially

they put into prod a 'test program'

[glad garnet]

the one that im looking at is from instabase

[junior hull]

the test program just kept buying a bunch of random shit

at HFT speeds

[glad garnet]

it will be nutty to ask questions on abstract react components

[junior hull]

imagine being an HFT ceo

[hallow scroll]

u gotta make a component in react

[glad garnet]

oh

[hallow scroll]

i forgot exactly what but it makes you code it

[junior hull]

and in the morning you're successful, by evening your company is gone

[twilit wharf]

lel

did u stopped as soon as u did ur interview

why do u upload ur leetcode solutions to github

o mine is github

ran out of leetcode problems but still have interivews?

[tardy orbit]

Is 731 ok for instabase backend

[twilit wharf]

found u

[jaunty cove]

yes

this is my twin

+1 upvote

[junior hull]

Ironically

After all this

Both Palantir and Optiver had no LC / DSA after the OA

[uneven sand]

tf was i doing in april

[junior hull]

So effectively I spent 3-4 months prepping for just the OAs

Then all the other rounds a few weeks

[twilit wharf]

transfer the knowledge to me

[jaunty cove]

cracked

april grind

[simple salmon]

all the lc i did this summer was at work

[white urchin]

Palantir hm round asks lc no?

[static spindle]

lmao

[junior hull]

Nope, had a decomp Q. NYC office.

[echo lynx]

Has anyone attempted Stripe OA yet?

[summer sequoia]

my school just canceled class for all of this week

cuz of the hurricane coming 😬

[static spindle]

flawda?

[summer sequoia]

yessir

honestly its a W cuz i can prepare for my interview this week

[static spindle]

tbh if I had more time for interview prep

I'd be down to have my state get hit by a dangerous hurricane

[low vale]

[summer sequoia]

[static spindle]

its all about the grind

[low vale]

Can I ask you questions about the HM round?

[summer sequoia]

your dm is off

[low vale]

I really don't want to fumble at the last step for Palantir

[junior hull]

Imma go to sleep

As it's 2am

So probs not rn

[low vale]

Oh alright

[junior hull]

Maybe just dm for later

Imma have to close my DMS at some point ngl

[low vale]

Thanks

[junior hull]

That or copy paste answers lol

It's been crazy the past few days ppl msging

Been trying to respond to everyone though as it was literally last week I was doing the same thing asking people on discord for help

[echo lynx]

Hey people.
Did anyone attempt the Stripe OA yet?

[grand bane]

[dense spear]

its super exciting for any rising amazon worker

[ivory ocean]

Blue bird says otherwise

[dense spear]

thats fire

[dense spear]

amazon new logo

[ivory ocean]

Day 10003882 of asking Juda to make my name the same color as the discord background

DriedCoconut asks: Do Stripe OA rn or study for Amazon final (Tuesday)?

[earnest hatch]

Amazon

[safe minnow]

Neither

Start your own company

[grave skiff]

Stripe OA, because it can be a good study material for the amazon final

[hardy patrol]

still under consideration for every company

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-chair-spinning-think-gif-16201240

[earnest hatch]

It's just getting started, you'll start hearing back soon

[hardy patrol]

it started long ago buddy

cap1 already waitlisted and amazon slowed down

[earnest hatch]

Yeah I mean in general. A lot of companies start interviewing around this time.

[hardy patrol]

word

[safe minnow]

Is it abnormal not to get the waitlist email

I took it around the end of August with a decent codesignal

[hardy patrol]

i didnt get one but my recruiter said

Thanks for reaching out! We do apologize for any inconvenience caused and are happy to hear about your excitement for the role! With that being said, we will certainly reconnect with you and follow up soon when we have more information we are able to share. We appreciate your continued patience as you await an update.

i heard people with better codesignals are at the front of the queue but who knows

[jaunty cove]

i didnt even get waitlisted

Tf

[ivory ocean]

I heard C1 is closed

Someone said their recruiters have said they are confident they’ll fill from the currently scheduled interviews

And it’s not officially closed by super unlikely that they take more

Yeah

I mean I did

I think a lot will just reject

Like a lot who get offers will reject then they’ll need more

[jaunty cove]

maybe they already overfilled in anticipation

like schools

are you going to renege bro

once you get amazon

i would apply but im on cooldown

really sas

[heavy magnet]

why did she stay 2 months and 3 months at different trading firms lmao

a lot of people seem to get out quick n start something on their own

[low vale]

tried two different places and was like

[heavy magnet]

so she started a trading company?

[low vale]

nah im good

[heavy magnet]

she runs a trading platform

lol

[low vale]

or maybe she wanted to do something else

[jaunty cove]

[jaunty cove]

[wooden shard]

This is probably their winter program

[sinful locust]

has anyone done the wolverine phone

[twilit wharf]

yes levels fyi is the best place to go

[wooden shard]

And she did citadel as intern before masters

[jaunty cove]

she baited me

[sinful locust]

my recruiter ghosted mee for a week

[wooden shard]

Looks like it

[sinful locust]

just to email me 10 minutes ago

and tell m e i have an interrview at 9 am tmrw

[jaunty cove]

how can you say that not an internship

[wooden shard]

Lmaooo

[sinful locust]

so iif anyone can offeer some tips on the wolverine phone

tysm

[wooden shard]

Master bait

[low vale]

i was actually a software engineer at many companies

🙂

[placid tapir]

Uh it seems like whoever this is got fired

2x

[wooden shard]

Tanz which W did u collect

[jaunty cove]

if she was ft at five rings she wouldnt have been able to work at citadel a year late rright

[heavy magnet]

maybe it was internship and just not listed as that

[low vale]

potential w, not actually collected W

[placid tapir]

Oh true

[jaunty cove]

i thought the non compete lasts a long time

[placid tapir]

Too short to be an internship tho

[low vale]

palantir and duo seem like they're basically done deals

[placid tapir]

If you get fired that quick they won’t enforce it

[wooden shard]

Fr u got palantir?

Good job

[low vale]

I literally can't mess them both up

[placid tapir]

@low vale what stage of palantir are you on

[jaunty cove]

i think she did winter internship

no way you get fired from five rings and then citadel hires you while youre in school

[low vale]

hm

[placid tapir]

Ok then obviously it’s an internship

If still in school

[placid tapir]

This step is non trivial

Btw

[low vale]

yeah thats true

but i am a sigma male

[placid tapir]

I also have HM call, a lot of people fail it

[low vale]

hiring manager will be awed by my gigachad energy

[placid tapir]

Low key a little worried

True

[low vale]

yeah same lmao

you practicing for it in any specific way?

[placid tapir]

Just gonna do what I did for my on-site

(Which is to not practice)

[quaint bolt]

don’t slack my friend got rejected at palantir hm

Unless you killed final and your hm is fully behavioural I wouldn’t relax too much

[low vale]

im not, im still leetcoding

just slower

well, final isn't even leetcode

but for other companies

[echo lynx]

does anyone know the required score to proceed to the next round after stripe oa?

[wind monolith]

lc easy/medium level
aim to get through at least 2 questions

[turbid marten]

stripe oa W

[white urchin]

When did you hear back for karat?

[wind monolith]

the karat interviewer has test cases

they'll run them and compare against the expected output

[hardy patrol]

how long to complete pinterest oa btw

[low vale]

you better get that return

[placid tapir]

This was for GE basically right

[placid tapir]

Do they not ask code to certain people ?

Idk how much better my final could have gone

[quaint bolt]

My hm was fully behavioural

[placid tapir]

Oh what role + team

[low vale]

any

you just have to do very good on final

most people get a technical during hm

[placid tapir]

Oh for ft I can’t imagine them not asking you to code

[wooden shard]

@low vale are u getting technical?

[quaint bolt]

Well you’re in the intern section my friend

[low vale]

unsure, they didn't tell me

[placid tapir]

Cuz you barely have to code in the on-site

[quaint bolt]

Not ft

[placid tapir]

Yeah just realize

Why am I here

[low vale]

oh are you applying for ng?

[placid tapir]

Yeah i just realized this is intern

Lol

[placid tapir]

New grad is a barren wasteland

Desolate

[jaunty cove]

Rude question

I’m in the process for food stamps and unemployment insurance

[uneven sand]

i heard that's really selective

[golden tusk]

Those are internships

[jaunty cove]

shes lying 😮

[uneven sand]

who

[jaunty cove]

the girl

intern at citadel and say that you were a trader on your resume

[low vale]

im gonna do that after ng

to pretend like i have a lot of experience

[jaunty cove]

the problem is it overlaps with your school

did you get final bro

o

[wooden shard]

[low vale]

you can do school ft and work ft

or school pt

[jaunty cove]

i spend an hour last night writing STAR for the leadership principles

[jaunty cove]

doing trading ft while at mit?

[low vale]

why not

[jaunty cove]

like 55 hour work weeks and then your also taking mit classes

[low vale]

yep

[jaunty cove]

just drop out if u already got a job trading at five rings

[low vale]

who said you were doing good at both

[jaunty cove]

Lol

same

i hope that they dont fill up btw my interview and my offer

[low vale]

its okay i failed the final so you can have my spot

[jaunty cove]

rly

[low vale]

they gave a sys-design question, i didn't know sys-design

[jaunty cove]

was it actually system design or ood

[low vale]

sys-design

[jaunty cove]

wtf

[low vale]

minimal if any coding

[jaunty cove]

i dont know what a system is im just a lc monkey

[low vale]

code wasn't even run

💀

[jaunty cove]

ok so i guess

i need to study system deisgn

[jaunty cove]

did you get rejected

[low vale]

maybe, most people get lc

i only know of one other person who got sys

im expecting a reject this wednesday

if they give you ft and don't require you to be a grad

go for it

[jaunty cove]

thats whack

[wooden shard]

degree matters for some jobs lol

[jaunty cove]

trader is just be cool and smart

😎

[wooden shard]

nah its kinda pointless

[low vale]

faang is guaranteed money, startups are a roulette

that being said

i would choose the roulette

i have a gambling addiction

depends on how early you get in

YC is weird

they back so many shit startups

its crazy

not saying yours is shit

yeah

but yc in general is weird

[coarse vigil]

https://youtu.be/AcRSJEhFZ-s

[golden tusk]

YCombinator just admits a bunch and then hope some take off

Yeah I agree unless you’re mega op

[sick oar]

@sinful locust the other issue is that you’re working at a YC startup

[golden tusk]

On their website

[low vale]

fly to headquarters and hand in your resume

[sick oar]

YC basically tells startups to not give away equity

[golden tusk]

Then it’s closed

[sick oar]

Because it dilutes YC equity

So they give away like 0.25%

I think that’s the YC guideline

Yeah but YC started it

and it’s the reason startups don’t have such huge upside or incentive for early adoption

[jaunty cove]

product manager has arrived

[uneven sand]

im not working for a startup unless they give me max(50% equity, 1 mil)

[low vale]

if it has 100m funding isn't it already a unicorn?

[sick oar]

same

[low vale]

1b valuation

[sick oar]

ye

[uneven sand]

1b valuation

[low vale]

not funding

[sick oar]

valuation

[uneven sand]

you can get 100m funding but give away all your equity kekw

so not unicorn

[sick oar]

[sinful locust]

but like its a good company so idk

[low vale]

yeah its a weird place to be

[uneven sand]

yea but it doesn't fit into the 3 categories

[sick oar]

it’s not big N but tbh it could be

[uneven sand]

COMPANY TIER LIST:

1. Quant Firms
2. Unicorns
3. FAANG
4. 💩

[low vale]

[sick oar]

hypocritical bitch

[uneven sand]

amazon sde2 caps out at 350k iirc but they were giving out of band offers up to 400k

out of band needs approval

[white urchin]

[turbid marten]

^

[jaunty cove]

yea its good for any behavioral i think

even not tech

when did you take oa

no

i got mine 18 days after taking the oa

they work for most

that ive seen

the process of coming up with stories to fit the principles

[north portal]

ngl im dying from nerves

[jaunty cove]

results in stories that fit most questions

[north portal]

amazon LP's are pretty broad too

[jaunty cove]

decent chance you get it tomorrow or early this week

[north portal]

a lot of my old stories and shit already have some LPs on them

@jaunty cove have u taken amazon final

[jaunty cove]

i have it on tuesday

[north portal]

i have mine tommorow and im stressing

oh ok

[jaunty cove]

same

apparently some guy got asked system design

you got this

[north portal]

oof

im literally gonna pray my interviewer is chill

and hope for the best

plz give twosum

[jaunty cove]

yea

as long as you go in with a level head i bet your good to go

[north portal]

yea hopefully

[ivory basalt]

Dont lose all hope even if your interviewer seems dry/uninterested cause my roblox interviewer was like that

[jaunty cove]

sounds like you ended up with good results

oh are u the guy with optiver and roblox

[ivory basalt]

if i pass optiver final in 1.5 weeks then yes

[jaunty cove]

so epic

[spark hearth]

gl on optiver final

[ivory basalt]

Dont stress over if your interviewer was nice or dry or awkward etc. cause you never know

[ivory basalt]

Thanks

[north portal]

aight thanks for the tip

[jaunty cove]

remember your probably being interviewed by a nerd

[simple salmon]

My final interview for databricks was with someone who was literally emotionless. No introduction when we started and completely monotone the entire time. I still got an offer so yeah dont count yourself out from that

[royal sail]

Ngl Ramp CTF was lowkey kinda fun

[past comet]

yes sirrr

[lofty bluff]

hey guys so if they ask if i have another offer and the offer is an internship at my brothers company can i put that as a potential competing offer

[oak drift]

Guys theoretically

Let’s say you’re close to burning out

Do I take an offer that I already have

And like start doing my hobbies or hanging with friends and like touching grass and shit

Or do I grind super hard for the next two weeks

Like 100+ hours of grinding

For an offer with double TC

[jaunty cove]

judging by your name it sounds like youralready in pretty deep

[grand bane]

sure, but at the end they will only care about it if it actually financially competes with whatever they're willing to give you

[spark hearth]

grind super hard

u can hang out with ur friends later

[lofty bluff]

financially? oh you mean like competing in same business

[twilit wharf]

two weeks of grind for months of happiness

[grand bane]

i mean if other offer is $20/hr and they offer u $60/hr, they're not exactly gonna care

the only benefit you have of telling them is that it shows you can get other offers

[jaunty cove]

do you play town of salem

[spark hearth]

let's play

[grand bane]

two weeks is not a long time when u compare to to ur overall life

grind now have life later

[jaunty cove]

i got banned

[spark hearth]

.

[glad garnet]

do you guys memorize questions for behavioral? Maybe write them down?

[spark hearth]

what's ur offer?

[static spindle]

tbh, i think it depends on what companies you're talking about, bc you're making it sound like its guaranteed you'll get the other offer

[jaunty cove]

the game not even free anymore

im not buying the coven expansion

[oak drift]

Oh def not guaranteed, like gotta grind to have a chance at passing

[spark hearth]

correct

I don't have coven

[oak drift]

I posted in r/csMajors server

[jaunty cove]

i had an account ok

[static spindle]

ok post here jeez

[spark hearth]

u think I'm in that server?

[oak drift]

I’ve seen u in that server

[jaunty cove]

your friend tobro is

[oak drift]

Fine it’s instabase

[spark hearth]

right

[static spindle]

if the other company is HRT

then 2 weeks probably won't get you very far, unless you're in Stanford or something

or an ICPC god

[spark hearth]

what was ur previous company

u can do better than instabase

go for stripe

[static spindle]

like what? I feel like the only tier thats obviously better is Google/Meta and HFTs

ah

makes sense

[teal cradle]

Any idea what kind of questions to expect?

[jaunty cove]

this is colin from the future

they asked me super egg drop

[oak drift]

Yeah makes sense

[spark hearth]

wtf Colin Davis passed imc resume screen

send ur resume @jaunty cove

[oak drift]

Lowkey thinking Of just cancelling it

[jaunty cove]

no

then you will know my name

[spark hearth]

no

[oak drift]

@jaunty cove send TC

[spark hearth]

no

[jaunty cove]

i have no exp

i think it was a glitch

[spark hearth]

.

lmao

[teal cradle]

Do they ask questions like what is liquidity?.

[spark hearth]

no

[jaunty cove]

they asked me what trades they should make today

and why

[static spindle]

who?

[spark hearth]

wtf

stop lying @jaunty cove

[static spindle]

o imc

[jaunty cove]

did you make it past resume screen

[spark hearth]

mf spreading false info

[jaunty cove]

i think they hve lighter resume screen than

[static spindle]

shit bruh if I were IMC I would ask colin davis dp enthusiast about what trades I should make

[jaunty cove]

other firms

idk why

[jaunty cove]

im down 1% on investopedia trading simulator

[hallow scroll]

phone is biggest filter for imc

cuz they have to match you to a team before getting final invite

[teal cradle]

Wtf Fr)

[spark hearth]

recruite phone?

[hallow scroll]

ye

[jaunty cove]

i read 20 pages on the imc website i think im good

[teal cradle]

I heard recruiter phone was a given

[hallow scroll]

yeah thats fine but youre gonna have to pray a team is interested in you so you can get final

[stone yacht]

amazon doesnt care about renege right?

[hallow scroll]

if not even if your phone was good its gg

[jaunty cove]

oh so its gg

[slow quarry]

naw they dont team match until late

[teal cradle]

But it’s not even IMC that does the phone

[jaunty cove]

why would they team match before final interview

[teal cradle]

Pretty sure they outsource it

[hallow scroll]

really thought it was b4 final

whoopsies

[slow quarry]

technical final is the filter

its jsut so stupid

[jaunty cove]

imagine wagons said phone was easy

[hallow scroll]

it sounds wack

[slow quarry]

phone is why imc and then telling u that ull get contacted later

theres nothing filtered abt it just a HM goes through ur profile and decides whetehr to move u on afterwards

[spark hearth]

is the final behaviorual hard?

[jaunty cove]

tf

so i didnt even pass resume screen yet

what is this process

[hallow scroll]

it sounds like imc has 4 resume screens jesus

[jaunty cove]

guys just let me solve some lc problems plz

[lofty bluff]

is that u

[static spindle]

[sinful locust]

oops

[obsidian olive]

how as it

[gritty radish]

What to expect from HRT OA Codesignal?

[woeful lynx]

Is the Amazon OA always the same or totally random?

[woeful lynx]

They changed it recently

[gritty radish]

Changed it to?

[halcyon wedge]

Wdym by always the same?

Yeah

Even more rng for the phone/final apparently

Some people got 2sum while others got 2d dp

Yeah

[woeful lynx]

I had a CodeSignal GCA and apparently now they have a custom exam

[woeful lynx]

Like do they ask always the same questions. So gets every candidate the same OA? Because my 2 coding questions for Amazon were basically 2 LC easy 😅

[halcyon wedge]

I pretty sure it’s rng, but mine wasn’t that hard either

[woeful lynx]

Ok did you hear back from them?

[halcyon wedge]

Not yet, but I took it yesterday

[woeful lynx]

I was actually quite surprised that all test cases went 100% first try… I spend like 10 minutes coming up with custom test cases with large numbers 😅

[halcyon wedge]

Now let’s just

Was the OA for Berlin?

[gritty radish]

I got the Codesignal invite today

[woeful lynx]

Honestly I don’t know… I applied for London (an many other positions) in august suddenly I got an email last week… but when I go to the online Plattform I also see the Berlin position but I never applied for berlin 😂😂😂

[halcyon wedge]

Lmao, you just getting drafted

[woeful lynx]

What was strange is in the email they said the following but I never had my Webcams request showing up 😅😅😅

Webcam: A webcam is required at the start of the code debugging test. You will use the webcam to take a picture of yourself during the session.

[halcyon wedge]

same, I wouldn't worry about it

[woeful lynx]

• they said we can use reference documentation but when you openend it you got a warning 😂

[halcyon wedge]

If you go to your portal, one of your apps should say "under consideration"

[woeful lynx]

Did you take the OA right away or did you also got a reminder email?

[woeful lynx]

Have to check my portal is not in English idk why

[halcyon wedge]

I got it on wednesday and did it yesterday

Didn't get a reminder

[woeful lynx]

Hahaha it’s “in Progress” for me 😂

[random apex]

lol rugged

how to study behavioural

is arrowst closed?

wait is that legit

[leaden pine]

referring ppl to meta/fb if anyone needs, shoot me a dm

[stone echo]

Hubspot or CapitalOne for SWE Intern

hub closed all apps btw

just asked my recruiter

he said they got tons of applications and aren't planning on opening any more for the year

are you already in the process

im post final and he said im fine

didnt get offer yet

does this sound like offer

have fun lol

why c1 < hubspot tho

just engineering culture?

well I wanna do hybrid since I live in Boston

But ye post grad remote sounds nice

also would be getting stock very cheap rn

but c1 is more stable

[static spindle]

Is more stable but tech at finance seems more boring

[stone echo]

yeah also probably very team dependent

if i get the hubspot offer, i will more than likely take it

ok hubspot or mongo

[static spindle]

Hubspot more money?

Ig depends more on what you wanna do they both sound fun

Hubspot culture 👍

[stone echo]

Hubspot is conveniently 15 min from school too

So I can live in dorms

Also, I bet they are more susceptible to extending into the fall

[coarse vigil]
