[grand bane]

my gf on god got rejected 💔

[uneven sand]

idt they really match with quants lol

[grand bane]

u wanna go lose out on ur 100k?

[uneven sand]

google culture sucks

[grand bane]

they are trolls

google has best wlb

[uneven sand]

google culture is writing design docs and aligning with 100 different teams to change a button

[grand bane]

that is agreed upon by blind

ok krishna das

[uneven sand]

idk based on what i saw it sounds more annoying

[solar axle]

how is citadel leadership call?

[uneven sand]

id rather code than have to track down some random team just so i can make a 1 line change to their codebase

[grand bane]

quant is good just work for 8 years then retire off investments ez

[uneven sand]

why

i think moving from quant swe -> tech swe should be fine early on

nah that's for interns

[grand bane]

bruh quant is prestigious af ur good

[uneven sand]

even tho my team is working on new greenfield stuff, most of their day is just meeting with other teams trying to get alignment on trivial changes

they barely got time to code

what quant firm has best big tech resume value

how long has it been

[obsidian olive]

🤣

[uneven sand]

ok you'll hear back tmr

[obsidian olive]

@honest spire humor mad interesting

i feel like id vibe with @honest spire irl lmao

[uneven sand]

i feel like id vibe with @honest spire irl lmao

[obsidian olive]

[obsidian olive]

right

[uneven sand]

2s

actually idk

you're a soph right

i think go for arrowstreet

wait what role at arrowstreet

[obsidian olive]

3. Stark Industries

[uneven sand]

if you're interested in quant dev kind of stuff at all, i would go for it

you can always go back to swe in 2024

try out quant dev

im sure you can transition back to swe from quant dev

i think the other way is harder

that too

[sinful locust]

what?

arrowstreet is very well regarded

as a firm

[uneven sand]

arrowstreet brand good for finance

meh for tech

[sinful locust]

its very good

[uneven sand]

what tech recruiter is going to have heard of it

[sinful locust]

oh he wants to go back to tech?

[safe minnow]

Depends if you marry someone who went there or your child marries somewhere who went there

[uneven sand]

tech recruiters know FAANGMULA

[sinful locust]

then two sigma maybe is best

[warped dagger]

Krishna Das ❄ asks: would my grandchildren get into harvard

[sinful locust]

are you saying among tech or in general?

cause in finance the culture there is well regarded

i think its research / academic focused

not sure about explictly as a dev but im sure its a fantastic opportunity

and u wanna go back to tech after a few years?

either is great value

[sinful locust]

i feel 2s probably maybe better for tech return

[quaint bolt]

2s imo the closest to tech companies among the quanties

[spark hearth]

did u get imc

[sinful locust]

how many years would u stay

[ivory ocean]

on god time to dump her

[sinful locust]

what are main criteria to pass roblox OA? considering reapplying 😇

[safe minnow]

Deer

[old kelp]

Is this racially motivated against all Kirbies

[ivory basalt]

830+ codesignal, find right Fox patterns (hardest part), maybe make a few cars

[old kelp]

How does one do well with the deer 😭

[static spindle]

ok well fuck

[safe minnow]

The codesignal part isn't stringent

[static spindle]

the last one I got for deer seemed pretty hard

[ivory basalt]

yea probably not, but also need decent resume

[earnest hatch]

Kirby cruelty

[safe minnow]

No

Don't

relaxing is a mistake

[old kelp]

I just relax after 12am

[static spindle]

if an app asks for overall gpa out of 5 points but your school does 4, do yall scale the gpa up? or should I still answer out of 4.0

[old kelp]

Interview thoughts usually get out of my head while I'm relaxing

[hardy patrol]

@sleek pike how many internships have you had

sheesh

roblox is pretty coveted isnt it

mostly bc its insanely hard

[old kelp]

What happened lol

[north portal]

Scrum master scrum master

Pray to the scrum

NO

[hardy patrol]

i was thinking of telling pinterest recruiter i have a competing offer but im afraid of getting fast tracked to final when i only did 50 blind75 questions

[ivory ocean]

Lmao you have scrum homework

[hardy patrol]

being unprepared for pinterest final is not a good thing no

iirc its hard asf

[ivory ocean]

Dude you tell your professor that the work item took extra long cuz of a bug and it’ll be moved to next sprint

[pearl zephyr]

Got the same thing earlier

[sinful locust]

I am scum master

[ivory ocean]

The entire point of Agile is to allow a team to respond to poor planning or unexpected delays lmao

That’s the entire reason it exists

You’re a PM already

[hardy patrol]

did you apply to the right one 🤨

krishna you are literally my intrusive thoughts manifested

im not giving in

[ivory ocean]

You want Charlie to edge himself??

Krishna did you get jane street yet

Sounds like someone’s been slacking on their daily Kirb 300

Bro someone was in here asking why we never go in the voice chat

I don’t even fucking see a voice chat

[near swallow]

Kirb 350

Stay hustlin

[ivory ocean]

I’m boycotting until it’s color coded

[hardy patrol]

vc that one night with n3 and a bunch of leetcode nerds was fun asf

[near swallow]

[ivory ocean]

Kirb 300 is a nice color code

I do all blue then all yellow

Then all green

Repeat

[near swallow]

I think so tbh i believe the selection of problems is broad and exquisite

It covers everything

[ivory ocean]

It does

[near swallow]

Especially OOD

Which is lacking elsewheere

[ivory ocean]

I did 4 Kirb 300 problems and got amazon and C1 so imagine what you’d get with all 350

[near swallow]

LMAO

[ivory ocean]

Kirb are you ever gonna color code it

The new one

[near swallow]

350 is not color coded but u can do the same

[ivory ocean]

I’m gonna publish the adrenalyn 6

[ivory ocean]

Ok

What if you did it

[hardy patrol]

i thought b75 was like the core algos and problem types youll see variations of and neetcode 150 was for more in depth examples of each

so whats kirb 350

[ivory ocean]

Instead of me

[near swallow]

Just transfer ur db to kirb 350 lol it’s a record keeper

[ivory ocean]

It’s better than the others cuz it also has a lot of OOD

Kirb my requests are color code 350 and add sys design

If you want consumer input

[hardy patrol]

i mean as long as i can solve company interviews with the least amount of work ill do it

[near swallow]

Check pinned. It’s comprehensive sum of neetcode vids and website grind75 blind75 and lc top questions

And OOD is very personal based

[hardy patrol]

cool

getting responses from big tech sounds like the opposite of a problem unless you didnt study

[ivory ocean]

Pronounced “ooh-duh”

[near swallow]

Sys des too much and no i refuse lol

[ivory ocean]

If you say “oh oh dee” you suck

[near swallow]

I cant color code by source cuz sources overlap

[hardy patrol]

felt

[ivory ocean]

No way

[echo lynx]

Link please?

[ivory ocean]

Time to puke

How do I know what order to do them in

[hardy patrol]

my first internship was easy and a great launching platform

[ivory ocean]

BLUE YELLOW GREEN RED

[hardy patrol]

[ivory ocean]

Or is it orange

[hardy patrol]

bro fidelity is a good starting internship deadass they dont ask any lc or technical

[ivory ocean]

If you get it can you tell them to give me margin trading

[near swallow]

Also i got colorblind complaints on 300 so i changed these

[hardy patrol]

and they give you a shit ton of free food

[ivory ocean]

I’m responsible I swear

[ivory ocean]

#2023_summer message

[ivory ocean]

That’s so clown

Holy shit

I’m dying

[hardy patrol]

so you saw neetcode 150 and were like yea we need even more questions

[ivory ocean]

And he was right

[hardy patrol]

i might try this out

after g75

just cause i like the organization

[ivory ocean]

G75 is in jt

It*

It’s included with 275 other problems

[earnest hatch]

I only trust Kirb's list since he got a job at Meta

[ivory ocean]

Kirb is at meta

[hardy patrol]

right but g75 website keeps track of this stuff and id rather just finish it than port over whats solved to the spreadsheet

[ivory ocean]

Jesus I definitely just black listed myself from meta

[hardy patrol]

uh i think they closed lmfao

[ivory ocean]

Kirb do you know my identity

Be honest

[north portal]

wait did they actually?

thats insane

[hardy patrol]

iirc lots of companies got return offers

so a lot of them closed earlier

[ivory ocean]

Wait you got rejected from Amazon?

[north portal]

i dont know of anyone who got fidelity outside of return offers tho

[ivory ocean]

Jokes it happens, I’m sorry

@near swallow do you know my real identity

[north portal]

ngl, some of these small ass companies got a lot of balls ghosting me when i know for a fact they can barely get 10 to apply

[ivory ocean]

lol

Always wanted to make a thread

[hardy patrol]

if you dont mind me asking mvp did you do b75 before amazon final

[north portal]

no

i think the only questions i saw were lru cache, and like some random binary tree question

[hardy patrol]

ah right cause some people came in prepared just to get slammed with lc hards

[north portal]

oh lmao

i said gg, im never gonna get an easy question

and then got fucked by twosum cuz i never bothered seeing the optimal solution

[tulip aspen]

aint no way

[hardy patrol]

isnt optimal making a dictionary and looping through each value

[tulip aspen]

what solution did u come up with

[hardy patrol]

theres like 3 ways to do it its a nuisance

[ivory ocean]

Kirb wont say whether he knows my identity

[hardy patrol]

alright

[ivory ocean]

The starboard side is the right side of the boat when facing the bow from the stern

Port is the left

[north portal]

was watching organic chem tutor and now im watching han solo dance

[hardy patrol]

leetcode needs to be down for everyone but me so i can have a chance at this job market

[ivory ocean]

When a boat is on port tack, that is to say that port is the windward side of the boat, it must yield to any vessels on starboard tack. Failure to do so and a resulting collision are the fault of the boat on port tack

A vessel is on starboard tack, and subsequently must be yielded to, if the starboard side is also the windward side

[static spindle]

Ur tryna make me watch ur podcast

[wooden shard]

@sinful locust u should do the tiktok oa for fun

[hardy patrol]

highly reccomend any of meadows programs theyre expensive but you can find the pdf mad easy

[ivory ocean]

Definitely

[hardy patrol]

gamma bomb for off season or cd2 for precontest

[wooden shard]

sure

i can send the hard one

bruh

nah

their own question

[ivory ocean]

Day 100 of asking N3 to let me go to his sessions for free

[wooden shard]

yeah ill dm

[scenic sluice]

Anyone else here offer less rn

[ivory ocean]

[hardy patrol]

i havent done lru cache yet so this is still a mystery to me

[ivory ocean]

That’s more than most HFT pays I wouldn’t even profit

[scenic sluice]

Qualifications?

[ivory ocean]

So sad so bad

[hardy patrol]

n3 why dont you have your website in your bio bruh

[scenic sluice]

Odds of getting into hft are < 1% imo

[ivory ocean]

It’s definitely like $15 per hour

[hardy patrol]

whats the point of making one

[ivory ocean]

Well for N3 the odds are >80%

So he is worth some money

But not that much

I meant a “that”

I missed it

[hardy patrol]

bro throwing shade

at the lc shaman

[ivory ocean]

I MISSED THE THAT

I meant a that

[scenic sluice]

U work at HFt??

[ivory ocean]

This set my free N3 campaign back by months

[round spire]

how do you record results recursively for tree problems?

[ivory ocean]

I was so close too wasnt I B3

N3*

[scenic sluice]

U r better than ok at LC if u got into HFT. Top uni?

[ivory ocean]

Dude remember the panic attack when we first brought up what that does in here

People flipped

[scenic sluice]

Uve been coding since like 12 yes?

[round spire]

He is good regardless of uni

[hardy patrol]

i mean

[scenic sluice]

Because ive heard its impossible to get into HFT if u dont go to a small subset of unis

[ivory ocean]

N3 on a scale of 1-10 how close am I

[safe minnow]

He’s lost it

[round spire]

how many qs did u get for the onsite? Did u get system design shit?

[scenic sluice]

I go to a 94% accept rate public university in a state with 0 STEM

[ivory ocean]

N3 on a scale of 1-10 how close am I

JUMPSTART

😦 I thought you died

[scenic sluice]

Why did u like hft ? I just learned about hft like a month ago and the engineering problems seem rlly interesting

[ivory ocean]

[scenic sluice]

How many years u been coding / studying?

[round spire]

@sinful locust when u look at a complex tree problem, do u simplify it to just a tree of height 1 and solves the rest recursively?

[ivory ocean]

Goodnight all, it is time for bed and it is time for you all to get offers, I wish you luck!!

[scenic sluice]

Wtf cracked

[covert sundial]

lol why the cap reaction, i think this is believable

[scenic sluice]

2 YRs to HFT undergrad is not attainable for 99.9999%

[ivory ocean]

Depends on who you are

If you’re N3 then it’s attainable for 100% of you

See I could be a Quran

Quant

[covert sundial]

that's really not true. if you're really good at math and logic in general, your chances of getting into HFT as undergrad are actually quite existent

[ivory ocean]

I could not be a quran

[covert sundial]

sure, it's a slim majority that can do it, but it's really possible. i actually know a couple of people who have done it

with the important part, ** <= 2 yrs of experience**

[ivory ocean]

I’m so glad ur alive

[scenic sluice]

Guess

[ivory ocean]

And we’ll

Well*

That’s fire

That should be ur slogan

[simple garden]

What math classes do u need for HFTs?

Just probability?

[clever grail]

none

[ivory ocean]

[covert sundial]

i don't think you need classes for hfts, you just need superior levels of problem-solving

[scenic sluice]

You must hang out with some of the luckiest and/or smartest people in the nation then

[ivory ocean]

Ok goodnight fr this time

[covert sundial]

"i know" does not equate to "hang out"

[scenic sluice]

My b i skimmed

[covert sundial]

yes i agree, to be a good trader you need that math knowledge + ability to problem-solve quickly

[scenic sluice]

Im just saying i have prior intern experience, 4.0, leader positions on campus, taking interesting/hard classes and get rejected by mid companies@

So i know HFT has to be only top if i can’t get shit

Get rejected at resume / LC isn’t consistently good

[covert sundial]

many of the students i know who are interning @ hft are former usamo qualifiers, and some of them only started programming in university (hence, <= 2 years of experience). so yes, the top is definitely an accurate picture

[scenic sluice]

I’ve applied, no response

[covert sundial]

what are you disagreeing with?

[scenic sluice]

Yeah they’ve been studying for years tho

[covert sundial]

we all study in highschool, no? :) the skills of some studies (or even competitions) just happen to transfer over more easily

[tulip aspen]

omg another sjsu individual

sick bro 8)

[covert sundial]

hi fellow sjsu'er!

[muted summit]

sjsu party 👋

[tulip aspen]

god damn the amount of SJSU'ers is astronomical

sjsu takeover

u really should've

[covert sundial]

but people who study for olympiads don't do it under the intention to eventually get into quant. it's more of a gradual discovery (once you're in university)

[muted summit]

id be surprised if people in hs knew about quant

i only found out about quant this year

[tulip aspen]

same

high schoolers are too concerned with prestige of colleges to know about quant

[covert sundial]

and not that i know of, unfortunately ;-;

[muted summit]

@honest spire ask @covert sundial again in a few weeks 😎

[tulip aspen]

feel like maybe some alumni that have been in the field for a while

[muted summit]

no way im getting quant

ksit can tho

[tulip aspen]

^^ i think the boy ksit definitely can

[muted summit]

transfer

LMAO im jk

[tulip aspen]

sjsu on top 8)

[muted summit]

^

[covert sundial]

i mean, i do have interviews for a couple quant firms upcoming, but i don't expect them to transpire to anything

[scenic sluice]

Not sure. Just been steadily applying lately. No interviews yet

[muted summit]

the biggest

the biggest

LMAO im playin im not acutally sure

but i know the boy ksit can get it

for whatever he has upcoming

[covert sundial]

if you're taking HRT/2S/Cit-esque, yes

[tulip aspen]

dont know ksit that much but from what ive seen this boy can do it

[muted summit]

wait ksit i remember u said you swapped from java to cpp right

did you know any cpp beforehand

[covert sundial]

trash

[muted summit]

LOL

[final forum]

You can only use this command in 2022_winter_intern_process, 2022_summer_intern_process, 2022_grad_process, 2022_fall_intern_process, 2023_summer_intern_process, 2023_winter_intern_process, 2023_grad_process

[muted summit]

idk if i wanna swap to python or cpp bc rn im on java

[covert sundial]

no i've only been programming in cpp for like a year

[safe minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-cement-seal-java-programming-gif-24524699

[hardy patrol]

me with ibm oa

pov forced to use anything but python

https://tenor.com/view/sad-baby-cry-tears-cute-gif-17855976

[safe minnow]

🗿

[true glade]

sorted([(k, v) for k, v in d.items()], key=lambda t: t[1])

i guess this is sorta what you're looking for?

its like

t is a tuple

and i'm sorting it by the 2nd element in the tuple (which is the value)

oh

sorted returns a sorted list of the input

but it doesn't modify the input directly

calling .sort modifies it directly

so you would do something like

l = [(k, v) for k, v in d.items()]
l.sort(key = lambda t: t[1])

i think?

yeah because the 2nd element is val

[safe minnow]

Lgtm

[true glade]

if you want to sort by key you can just do like t[0] or smth

[true glade]

?

[safe minnow]

Looks good to me

[true glade]

oh

[safe minnow]

I honestly don't know how much python syntax sugar I should be using during interviews

On one hand it demonstrates mastery of the language

On the other it might just confuse the interviewer

[restive crystal]

i would say not to overuse it

[onyx heron]

damn you did good tho?

[obsidian olive]

there were also a lot of Qs

[obsidian olive]

no didnt pass all of them but i remembered one of the answers from an old Q I did and sorta went off that

[onyx heron]

[onyx heron]

so you got to the next stage?

[obsidian olive]

I believe 1 hr 30 mins for 5 Q

[obsidian olive]

[obsidian olive]

ngl apparently they have a hard resume screen

[onyx heron]

i think i will pass if i put gold 2 in league

[obsidian olive]

i mean realistically ion k if i wanna work at riot

[onyx heron]

so if they gave you an offer you would reject it

[obsidian olive]

id basically encourage ppl to become soulless vampires allergic to daylight (avg valorant player)

[obsidian olive]

tbh ya same with tiktok id prob use it as leverage in another company 😂

Does passing all cases on the Riot OA guarantee an interview?

[junior hull]

yo

Problem.

I emailed yesterday to begin acceptance process for Optiver SWE intern

I then get an email today saying I'm through to HRT SWE intern final

How do I ask Optiver for an extension without messing then around / risking the offer?

they don't even know I was applying for hrt. I didn't even know I was in the first tech interview last week. Literally booked it for the next day and did it haha. And now I'm in this situation

[crisp kiln]

Anyone recently done Google OA?

How was it?

[rapid swan]

I heard they screen for league players

[stable frost]

does anyone know how long it takes microsoft to screen after applying to their internship

i applied, but it still says "Application Transferred"

[low delta]

Is apple even recruiting this season?

[junior hull]

Indeed but still a problem

[half plinth]

How hard is the doordash OA?

[woeful lynx]

Hahaha smart people problems 🥲

[junior hull]

They already know

The problem for me is more

Ive told Optiver I'm accepting

Then got hrt final invite

And I don't want to mess Optiver around (and risk the offer / bad vibes from them)

[normal violet]

did u get asked LC hards in ur final

[woeful lynx]

Is SIG OA auto?

[junior hull]

wdym

like ask for an extension?

i'd have to tell them that i'm interviewing with HRT, which would normally be fine (and i'd do it) if it wasn't the whole 'i'm accepting' thing

[clever grail]

but that's informal and you were lacking information you have now

[junior hull]

i've got to find a way to either not sign the acceptance until hrt responds AFTER the final (which isn't even scheduled yet!) or ask for an extension and be honest

[woeful lynx]

Did you find an answer for this already?

[normal violet]

Torin i think your best bet is to not address that u mentioned u wanted to accept

just get the offer and casually ask if u can have till like end of october to decide

be like I gota figure out school schedules n all that

But what'd u get ask in ur final ronud

[junior hull]

the thing is, I have the offer letter etc.

have had that for a while

but yeah i basically 'started the acceptance process'

all i have to do is sign the employment letter when they send it

[clever grail]

i feel like it's better to be truthful about the reason if they're going to delay

[junior hull]

yeah I want to do that

[clever grail]

but delaying is separate question

[junior hull]

don't know how to phrase it to avoid pissing optiver off though

[oak drift]

wait what the fuck?

no way

[clever grail]

full time

[woeful lynx]

2023 numbers are not up yet for HRT?

[oak drift]

I heard it's still just $96 an hour

[junior hull]

do they?

[woeful lynx]

@junior hull if I were you I would continue interviewing and take the Optiver offer. It you really Land a HRT offer ask if you could use it for a New grad position.

[junior hull]

i don't think i can convert an internship offer to new grad

[oak drift]

just renege optiver lol

[junior hull]

the point of an internship is that it is an extended interview for new grad.

[junior hull]

that's scary tho

and i don't wanna burn that bridge lol

[broken knot]

they started giving out offers?

[oak drift]

no, but heard from a friend who probably heard from a friend

hence the "I heard" lolol

[junior hull]

doubt it ngl

hrt was above optiver

pre 2023

and their 2023 numbers are not out yet

[oak drift]

but HRT had a really bad year this year

[junior hull]

• i can just negotiate with them to at least match optiver, then bring optiver up

4 working days

well it was the end of the week when i interviewed

they didn't really say when they'd get back

bro left quite quickly lol

probably busy

[placid tapir]

[junior hull]

how bad?

[placid tapir]

HRT is bad

No longer good

You can say

It fell from grace

[junior hull]

i'd always viewed HRT as above optiver in my head

also NYC

[woeful lynx]

Honestly i would take the HRT interview. If you get offer take it. If not stay with Optiver

[sinful locust]

lol really

[placid tapir]

HRT JS now a T7 firm

[sinful locust]

just renege optiver

do the interview imo

renege if you need to

[clever grail]

pisslaxxer arrives

[junior hull]

can you renege after you've signed their employment contract?

[sinful locust]

optiver return rate sucks anyway

[junior hull]

or is that some legal shit

[gritty radish]

I think HRT is above optiver

[sinful locust]

well renege is always an issue

[placid tapir]

No it’s great

[junior hull]

let's say levels.fyi is accurate.

[woeful lynx]

When you take HrT tell Optiver just the truth. You got another offer right after you got Optiver that you can’t throw away

[placid tapir]

HRT return rate sucks tho

Btw

[clever grail]

@sinful locust

[sinful locust]

really? lots of people say its low

like < 50%

[placid tapir]

Or at least it sucked this year

Lol HRT was <50% this year for swe

[sinful locust]

ik that

what about algodev

[placid tapir]

Nah I think most at Optiver gotnoffer

[sinful locust]

oh thats good

[placid tapir]

QR role

[junior hull]

for optiver i heard it was low for SWE Amsterdam this year

but high for chicago

[sinful locust]

oh maybe it was for am then

[junior hull]

i got amsterdam tho

lol

[placid tapir]

O

[woeful lynx]

No Mather what you choose you can’t go wrong. Just be honest with the recruiter and they will understand it

What I would not do is sign the paper and then withdraw that’s really bad

It’s like marrying a person and right after the ceremony you divorce her because you hooked up with the next best hot girl

She will definitely not want to see you in the next 100000 years 😂

[placid tapir]

-2million

[slow umbra]

whats up with this though

is that their usual rate

what

[gritty radish]

crazy

[woeful lynx]

They threw out to many new grad offers 🤓😂 \s

Replaced all senior devs with new grads.

1 senior dev = 10 new grads
Still cheaper 😂

[late terrace]

HRT had a bad year

like extremely awful

[placid tapir]

[slow umbra]

is this across the trading industry?

[woeful lynx]

I mean we can’t know this for sure without violating the NDAs 😂 like they don’t publish those numbers

[slow umbra]

or just hrt

[late terrace]

just hrt

[slow umbra]

oof

[late terrace]

most firms had good years

[junior hull]

Can we get some sources

On HRT having a bad year

ok but I mean

Actual financial reports

Or finance news reports

[late terrace]

they don’t publish

[slow umbra]

i did hear about the shit return rate though

[junior hull]

like I can join a random discord. Say "I'm an ex two sigma intern. They're doing terribly" and I'd have the same credibility

[sinful locust]

@inner kernel

[junior hull]

can you understand why I'm cautious to believe lol

[sinful locust]

no i cant

[woeful lynx]

You could use a zero knowledge proof 🤔

[junior hull]

Fair enough, but like surely there would be multiple people saying they had a bad year

[late terrace]

@placid tapir opt > hrt ?

[placid tapir]

I think Optiver is underrated

Like the rest of the industry doesn’t do as much profit sharing as them

[wide socket]

O

[late terrace]

didn’t they remove new grad marbles/cut it

well just first year i heard

[placid tapir]

Yeah you get a guaranteed bonus but you get marbles the year after

Also the guaranteed bonus is pretty high right

Also I’m warning u all about quant it’s not that great

[simple garden]

quant or bust .

[placid tapir]

There’s like an online circlejerk on csmajors and this discord that exaggerates everything about it, including wlb growrh etc

[hardy patrol]

idc about quant im literally never getting into it

want to focus on toiling the fields in microsoft or some place that has decent wlb

[jaunty cove]

do you want optiver bro

[ivory ocean]

@sinful locust
@sinful locust
@sinful locust

What competitive coding platform do you recommend again? CodeForces?

Which is best for nooby

[woeful lynx]

I think for most people quant isn’t the right thing. I personally realised quant research / trading is nothing for me. Although I would like to experience it I don’t see myself doing it long term. Although I really like the research part of it 😂

Dev is still more interesting to me

[upbeat cradle]

Cope

(joke ofc)

[sinful locust]

Yeah agreed, especially how you actually need to work for 8+ hours a day if you want to be performing well, whereas you can easily do 4 hours of work p/day at a big tech and be a good performer

[teal plover]

what are the chances of getting stripe phone with full points on OA?

[woeful lynx]

Quantdev on the other side sounds really cool. But as far as I have heard quantdev is not always the same

[ivory ocean]

I could work 8+ hours a day for 400k no problem man

[woeful lynx]

Have 100% and haven’t heard from them so far

[woeful lynx]

Hahaha worked 8+ and made less than 400k not even 10% of that 😂😂😂

[ivory ocean]

I swear some CS people are so soft

I first heard a guy complain about context switching and I damn near died laughing

“If someone messages me while I’m coding, I need half an hour to refocus on coding” like bro what

[woeful lynx]

29.9

[teal plover]

oh cool. btw do you know how hard the rest of the process is? like if you do well in the phone and final is offer hard to get?

[woeful lynx]

Yeah

[teal plover]

yoo congrats! good luck!

[ivory ocean]

Is stripe open still

[blissful elm]

for uber referral do you get an email?

[ivory ocean]

And is stripe better than Amazon

[teal plover]

also one more qs. do you think they're filling up?

like when are they usually full? by november?

[ivory ocean]

Should I apply then

[sinful locust]

Idk, might be different for top top firms, but I feel like at most HFTs you earn 1-1.5x (decreases as YOE increase) what you’d get at FAANG while working twice as hard

[ivory ocean]

And renege Amazon

Jk

[ivory ocean]

Gang gang

OMG STRIPE HAS WINTER

[teal plover]

I did amazon last year so I'd def go stripe

[ivory ocean]

Apply go go go go go

New plan

Winter stripe

[tough obsidian]

.

[ivory ocean]

I HAVE MOTIVATION AGAIN

[teal plover]

they prolly hire 10 inters tops for winter

[ivory ocean]

I am the 10

Then I’m the 9

Just so you get a spot

[teal plover]

I think I could potentially switch amazon for fall

so we'll see

[ivory ocean]

Amazon not switching this year

They’re grumpy

Does CodeForces not have problems you can just do

Is it seriously contest only

[teal plover]

I'm returning intern tho

they switch for returning
