How long does linkedin take to respond after final?

[stone echo]

hiring manager chat soon 🙏

friday

at noon

[frigid gate]

if Amz offer then the portal will update in Wed and Monday night , right ?

[stone echo]

🙏

i bet some sus shit happens and i get rejected

i feel sus about stripe

im gonna ask if they are giving return offers

🙏

stripe or datadog though

datadog giving return offers to almost all interns

😦

yeah this my last internship

i have amazon summer

figuring out winter/fall

that's scary

but resume value is insane

[teal plover]

omg

[frigid gate]

hey can anyone help ?

[slow umbra]

stripe having a bad year though

[stone echo]

^^ scared about this

but if i have stripe and amazon on my resume, should get something like google relatively easy for new grad if they are recruiting

unless im off

[safe minnow]

Roblox and Stripe would make me tryhard to get that return offer from day 1

[junior hull]

Everyone having a bad year apparently lol

[stone echo]

yeah i mean idk. i have bcg and disney on my resume and i have amazon

if i do stripe as well, new grad should get interviews

idc about that

you cna trade stock for cash option

can

with stripe

at least i heard

[rancid flume]

yeah but that’s what everyone is thinking

[stone echo]

yeah i heard that

seems insane

[safe minnow]

That's good then

I thrive in competitive enviorments

Even if it doesn't work out in the end

[rancid flume]

👌🏻

[stone echo]

i think people even get more new grad

ive seen almost 300k for return intern

its not itws in stock

yeah idk

yeah i know =

but i think you can trade the 80k stock for cash

on a 1:1 swap

ive seen something about this

it sounded wrong

but might want to look into it more

yea lol

dk how true any of that is

would have to do more research

i need to plan what im going to ask during the hiring manager interview

[safe minnow]

Really?

[stone echo]

lmfao

[safe minnow]

Lmao

[stone echo]

fake

[ivory ocean]

reading CodeForces is making me wanna cry

Legit some fucking top 10 dude’s blog on how to read problem statements, the first sentence.

“So you don’t know how to read problems, don’t worry I’ll teach you. Well you’ll probably learn nothing because you didn’t try to understand anything and you expect all hard work to be done for you by someone else. Let’s start!”

[safe minnow]

It's half true tbh

[ivory ocean]

It really is

I feel so bad for them

I’m doing it to try to get fucking quant lmao

Well SWE at quant

Also cuz N3 told me to

[deep valley]

If I haven't received an Amazon OA by now and I applied in July is it safe to assume I've been rejected?

[shell abyss]

Just curious, does it say Application submitted for you or something else?

[ivory ocean]

Ngl yeah

[deep valley]

Damn

I have 3 internships Idk what else they want man

[shell abyss]

I'm in the same spot but I applied 9/10 in the US. is there still hope?

[deep valley]

All my friends got one except me

[deep valley]

Honestly I've been hearing of people getting offers as early as august, so I think it'll be unlikely now but I hope it works out for you

[shell abyss]

Thanks

[deep valley]

My grad date changed to be a year earlier cause I overloaded courses so I created a new account and submitted another app but its not letting me login to the new account any ideas on what I can do?

I don't want to create a third account cause Im worried the same thing will happen

Thats what I thought but looking at my app it has my old info

[jaunty cove]

no

ppl got oa6 months later

[low vale]

My dog interviewer rescheduled interview during the timeslot got my goog interview

[north portal]

same

[low vale]

I gotta fucking push it back again

[north portal]

im literally so sad

[north portal]

LMAO

guys

my fidelity recruiter finally schedule the phone call

to tell me the "big news"

istg if its a rejection, im done

[deep valley]

The way the economy is right now makes me really doubtful though, but I hope you're right

[wooden shard]

Just say u have midterm during that time

[north portal]

i did fidelity last year, recruiter is calling about return offer i think

[wooden shard]

Anyone did riot phone?

[north portal]

theres no way she rejects me right? My portal says interviews complete and she said it was big news

[north portal]

i have mine this week

[wooden shard]

mines is next week

can u lmk how it is

[north portal]

sure

[low vale]

Just told him I has another interview

Seems like a cool dude

Feel bad for annoying him

[uneven sand]

why

I have a few courses I can safely skip lecture and just schedule interviews during that time

I’m too try hard for my school

I book rooms with my career center and on the sheet where you sign up, I’m basically the only person

one time they said I should be booking earlier bc of a lot of bookings but I’m the reason it’s busy 💀

no

[ivory ocean]

Same the amount of people at my school who just say “I’ll never get FAANG, too hard@

[uneven sand]

the best at umd is @spark hearth

he has jane street as a soph

4

[spark hearth]

stop

[uneven sand]

might drop this sem bc I stopped giving a fuck

actually true

[spark hearth]

gpa is ez, just take ez classes

[uneven sand]

wait no

[woeful lynx]

Welcome to the club 😂

[uneven sand]

I got a B in 6th grade English

[spark hearth]

lol

I got a B in esol

[uneven sand]

what school

Berkeley?

[north portal]

woudlnt this look bad tho

cuz ur prioritizing another copmany over him

calc 3 is whooping my ass

[uneven sand]

just say you have a doctors appointment

[north portal]

but Orgo, Stats, Psych, and Labs are easy dubs

[uneven sand]

that’s my go to

[spark hearth]

cs is easy

[north portal]

i cannot math for the life of me

[uneven sand]

if I already had a doctors appointment recently, I say I have a dentist appointment

[spark hearth]

lol

[north portal]

like chemistry style math is doable, but this calculus shit trips me up

[uneven sand]

chemistry math is plug and chug

[spark hearth]

just say u need to take an std test

[hardy patrol]

i already know its an rto but itd be tragically hilarious if the big news was your rejection

[north portal]

my rational part of the brain says rto, but my imagination says rejection

hey at least its something

now i have 1 offer

i just skipped class to go to career fair

[north portal]

was useless tbh, not many good companies besides nutanix

[uneven sand]

virtual

[slow veldt]

what does calc 3 cover?

[uneven sand]

virtual career fairs are useless

[north portal]

ewwww

[slow veldt]

idt canada labels them

[uneven sand]

no good companies come to virtual fairs and the lines are horrendous

[woeful lynx]

Yeah…. You can’t bribe the recruiter to offer you instant final….

[north portal]

stokes divergence theorem, line integrals, double and triple derivatives, parametric equations, polar shit, and like vectors

[uneven sand]

ask for their Venmo

calc 3 is multi variable

[woeful lynx]

Nah you always bribe people offline…. No tracks

[north portal]

fax

[woeful lynx]

Looks like it’s your first time bribing…. Amateur 😮‍💨😂

Jokes on me… bribing but till no offer 😦

[north portal]

pray for good luck

cuz them recruiters be ass

[uneven sand]

they’ll probably just tell you to apply online

[north portal]

they geniunely do not give a fuck

or they can be like OMP

and tell u to apply, take your information, and then reject you

[uneven sand]

also if they’re half decent be prepared to wait 12 hours

[woeful lynx]

Hahaha at mine only 1…. Really sad when you are non target 😂

[north portal]

im at non target and we had a decent showing

[uneven sand]

meta came to our career fair and they’re not even hiring

[north portal]

bofa, fidelity, amazon fintech, nutanix, willowtree, SAS, Wells Fargo, and AMD

so not too bad

[uneven sand]

recruiter probably didn’t want to get piped

PIPed

[north portal]

lmao

[uneven sand]

👍

[north portal]

👍

[woeful lynx]

[ivory ocean]

You’re definitely missing something lmfaoooo

[hardy patrol]

nevermind yea

[jaunty cove]

sig like trader

[hardy patrol]

i was about to say cause i didnt do their oa and thought i fucked up big time

[ivory ocean]

FUCK I DOXXED MYSELF

God damn Google focusing on locations near me

If you did then what school do I go to?

[hardy patrol]

going to use the fact that you live in michigan as ammo against you

hate that place

[ivory ocean]

^ definitely a buckeye

Only a buckeye could hate Michigan

Or a Michigander

[hardy patrol]

im all the way up north i would never make fun of another state if i lived in ohio

[ivory ocean]

I did fuck up Jesus

[low vale]

im not qualified for any of the cool teams

[ivory ocean]

I was too lazy to study for my SIG phone round for quant

[low vale]

😭

[ivory ocean]

I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS $93

And I only got 1 question wrong

[low vale]

i only did one previous cycle

[spiral bluff]

any tips for amazon final?

[ivory ocean]

Thanks for depressing me @hardy patrol

[low vale]

this one feels better for me personally because of that

[ivory ocean]

You fucking Lake Superior state asshole

[low vale]

before i was pulling 0 interviews

now I'm pulling quite a few

[ivory ocean]

Cant pull girls tho

jokes

[low vale]

its weird that a lot of csmajors say that, its really not that hard to go out on a date

[ivory ocean]

At this point it’s just a meme really

[low vale]

it is

[ivory ocean]

I have a happy relationship and FAANG and concur that it is not difficult

The relationship that is

Like mfers in here really act like girls are harder than an HFT sometimes

They just want flowers

[jaunty cove]

Idk

[ivory ocean]

JSON IS ALIVE

CONCUR YES FULL FULL DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT THAT WORD MEANS CONCUR

[hardy patrol]

going to snap if i have to see !process gf phone on this app

one more time

[ivory ocean]

You’re so lucky I don’t have nitro

Or I’d spam your DMs with flooshes

[hardy patrol]

tarnishing my name as a csmajor by association

[ivory ocean]

Hey Charlie’s back he depressed me then left

It means agree

1. be of the same opinion; agree.

At least 5

5 hatreds of @sinful locust

That’s why I reneged Amz for Concur

I got 5 hatreds of you out of it

[hardy patrol]

did you get amz

[ivory ocean]

No

[hardy patrol]

alright.

[ivory ocean]

Charlie why’d you depress me

[quaint bolt]

[ivory ocean]

Omg wagons is alive too

Wait that’s not who I thought it was

Wagons are you the guy who was interviewing for JS or somethin

Welp was gonna ask how it went but

Too late now

Oh his name was like portal

@fickle ivy this guy

[hardy patrol]

gonna go grind lc

[ivory ocean]

He was interviewing for optiver

How’d optiver go man

[ivory ocean]

Wanna run bsearch together

[past comet]

yes

[ivory ocean]

Ok make a room and I might join or I might play fortnite

I’m 50/50

Or maybe plutonium

Ooh mob of the dead sounds amazing

[hardy patrol]

https://leetcode.com/problems/time-based-key-value-store/ you just need to implement a dictionary with a nested list for values right

shit looks real easy for a med q

[south oak]

Anyone heard back from grammarly after the Oa?

[south aspen]

that’s not optimal

[hardy patrol]

alright had a feeling it was harder

[jaunty cove]

i think it is optimal depending on how you implement

[south oak]

Lol I just hear back from grammarly

Got interview w hiring manager

[jaunty cove]

sorted / monotonically increasing / true then false -> not linear search 🙂

[hardy patrol]

day 30 of no contact from msft

[bold eagle]

I got Pinterest final coming up and I'm hella nervous rn

I was feeling fine but every interview day, it doesn't matter how fine I am before that - I brick tf up

[robust bridge]

How do you all stagger your apps for companies that use CodeSignal?

Yeah lol

I just hate codesignal

[hardy patrol]

happens to the best im always more nervous minutes before the call than the call itself

waiting for the phone call feels like landing on the beaches of normandy bruh

[bold eagle]

Yeah, for me my nervousness carries over into the interview

[bold eagle]

That's an amazing analogy for how I feel lmao

[hardy patrol]

whens the final

[bold eagle]

I mentally brick - like I can't focus

And emotionally

[jaunty cove]

😎

[bold eagle]

It is 3-4 pm

[hardy patrol]

alhamdullilah we will get this bag

[bold eagle]

Subhanallah

[low vale]

im being asked for google references

man

this fucking form

makes me want to crawl in a hole

and die

[jaunty cove]

He will never find the right floor to drop the egg —

[bold eagle]

🙏🏽 for HashMaps

[low vale]

I haven't even gotten to that part yet

[bold eagle]

Grazi dude

[jaunty cove]

ig they couldnt figure out meeting rooms

[sinful locust]

Anyone Amazon SDE 2023 here?

[low vale]

yo will they reject me from a form

[spark hearth]

yea

[jaunty cove]

ppl who use heap instead of sort for interval problems scary

[low vale]

im gonna reach out to a goog employee and ask if they can be a reference

i've been delaying this

will study today

true

next tues

wait you could do that?

i have g right before midterms

[sinful locust]

https://discord.gg/HSNk7gfN

[low vale]

i have 2 tests on wed

🙂

[jaunty cove]

[sinful locust]

Lmao

[soft basin]

amazon also hires the most interns 🤷‍♂️

[muted summit]

dude my final is on friday for g

im just gonna go in and hope for the best ngl

[sinful locust]

Ye amz the best 😌

[muted summit]

idk what exactly to study

[low vale]

guinea pig

[muted summit]

ye

i heard they are on freeze tho

[sinful locust]

LPS

[muted summit]

no not amazon

[sinful locust]

Which comp?

[muted summit]

google

[sinful locust]

Ahh atb

Do you have to give OA in google as well?

[muted summit]

@low vale i mainly studied a ton of graphs tbh

yes

[sinful locust]

I heard they directly give interviews

[muted summit]

yeah you have to do an OA and then you get the interview

[low vale]

yeah i studied a bunch of graphs for amz

[sinful locust]

Is it like hackerank or on their own platform?

[muted summit]

its their own

did you end up getting graphs

[sinful locust]

And one final interview? After OA

[muted summit]

i think everyone who ive talked to who's done google this year got graphs

its 2 interviews after the oa

[sinful locust]

Damn

[low vale]

ooooooooooooooooooooh

lets gooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[sinful locust]

Anyways all the best!

[low vale]

i love graphs

[muted summit]

same

[low vale]

fuck dp

[muted summit]

graphs are fun

yep

[sinful locust]

Lol I cant go beyond arrays 🥲

[muted summit]

ye we'll see

the question bank is so big

i heard winter has very little spots

so i dont think they are

[quaint bolt]

ayo?

[muted summit]

Wagons???

[low vale]

slightly flexible

[ivory ocean]

why does everyone hype up datadog

their internship is less tham c1

[teal plover]

no.

[low vale]

ddog ft new grad can hit 200k

also a cool company imo

[ivory ocean]

Amz new grad hits 220

[quaint bolt]

the most boring product

[ivory ocean]

I'm just trying to figure out why everyone calls them better than amazon

[quaint bolt]

[ivory ocean]

is it like the WLB?

[low vale]

google pays less

just a reputation diff

[quaint bolt]

I'd pick amazon over ddog and I've got both

[low vale]

i'd pick amz too

im just explaining why people like it

[quaint bolt]

https://www.datadoge.com/

this is why

[hardy patrol]

every time i think i got an important email from amz or msft its just an ubereats reminder this is torture

[quaint bolt]

overblown

[low vale]

won't get pipped if you're good

[dusk kayak]

troll?

[quaint bolt]

blown way out of proportion by salty mfs who can't code on blind

[dusk kayak]

amazon

[quaint bolt]

yes

[north portal]

bruh

PathAI rejected after OA

whats their bar

[dusk kayak]

why do you want to get out of zon so bad

[low vale]

i mean there aren't many

[dusk kayak]

did you get aws team?

[north portal]

cuz I got a perfect on first and 9/12 on second

[quaint bolt]

the dude whose linkedin post went viral, some people did a little digging, he basically did absolutely 0 work the entire year he was at amazon

literally just whitespace changes

[dusk kayak]

I REMEMBER THAT

[quaint bolt]

and then he complains about pip

[dusk kayak]

HAHAH

that shit was nuts

[low vale]

yo wtf for real

[dusk kayak]

honestly the peak of my linkedin experience

[low vale]

thats funny

[dusk kayak]

yes oh my

[quaint bolt]

like mf you get paid for a year to remove newlines from config files stfu

[dusk kayak]

it was glorious

[north portal]

anyone got a link

[hardy patrol]

me if i get a return offer

[frank knoll]

link

[quaint bolt]

and all the pity "commenting for reach" bitch gtfo here

[low vale]

linkedin

[dusk kayak]

i still think that was the peak of linkedin

like

it was so funny

[north portal]

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hire-jiawei-wang_hi-linkedin-connections-i-am-ready-for-my-activity-6894943241523875840-tZ7C/

this one?

[quaint bolt]

yeah it's this one

some people looked up his commits internally lmao

[frank knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-please-beg-pretty-please-gif-15467849

me waiting for my scheduled call with the linkedin recruiter

[quaint bolt]

did jackshit for a year and is now making a pity post on linkedin

[low vale]

lmaoooo

[quaint bolt]

lol there you go

[north portal]

dont they just not give a return and cut losses

[quaint bolt]

wym where? he's a swe? amazon's internal codebase?

[white swallow]

Has anyone done the interviews for pwc labs (2 35 minute ones back to back)

[low vale]

i mean amazon's pip rate makes sense

[quaint bolt]

ohhhh

[low vale]

they're a big company so they hire a bunch of losers like that guy

[quaint bolt]

yeah prolly, no reason to not disable comments

[low vale]

gotta get rid of people who don't do anything

🍌

[dusk kayak]

YES

oh my

my beloved

[frank knoll]

did he get into trouble?

[north portal]

no comments sadge

i never saw this

[north portal]

probably its been edited and shit

im assuming the original was worse

[frank knoll]

im assuming he got blacklisted

and doesnt have a job now

[quaint bolt]

no, we have an acronym database internally (bc amazon's got so many) and over there PIP = paid interview prep

[frank knoll]

talking bad about a company on linkedin is reallyyy bad

[dusk kayak]

i mean there were pip jokes internally at G and they didnt care (until the hiring crisis of '22 )

[north portal]

no apparently hes fine

how tf did he transfer to a different team

[frank knoll]

wth

[north portal]

Yea wait

Hes actually still at amazon on a different team

wtf

this is amazing, imagine not doing work and staying at amazon

[low vale]

He went from alexa to aws

he actually failed upwards

wtf

[frank knoll]

faang moment

he could have been ling

lying

or exaggerating

how do you know

[low vale]

i think aws is worse wlb

but higher pay

[wild sage]

Where'd you apply for the grammarly swe internship? I only see their applied research scientist intern position

[north portal]

LMAo

he got transferred to the shitter

[low vale]

oh lmao i can't read

[north portal]

it was on the github i think

they jsut ghosted me lmao

[low vale]

i gotta avoid alexa like the plague

[north portal]

I gotta get into amazon first 😔

[wild sage]

the pitt one?

[low vale]

next year

[north portal]

ye

[south oak]

I just clicked on the levels fyi link

Lemme dm it to you

[north portal]

no this year, my other apps are still in progress

we manifest

[low vale]

amazon has multiple swe positions?

[north portal]

no i just spammed

[low vale]

oh lol

[north portal]

but the rest are still under consideration

so we

[quaint bolt]

just stay at amazon for a couple years and if you're good at what you do you'll get senior

bc of the turnover

[north portal]

u can get 1 year promotions right?

to sde 2

[low vale]

yes

[quaint bolt]

at some point you'll just become the subject matter expert of the field

you're a freshman

go outside

[low vale]

stay for 7-8 years i would assume

[quaint bolt]

if you're on a tier 1 team and ask your manager for the maximum career growth path then yeah

[north portal]

wait Krishna are u a freshman?

thats crazy

[quaint bolt]

tier 1 == rds, s3 etc

[north portal]

oh nice

[low vale]

what is rds?

their db?

[quaint bolt]

this is wlb nightmare tho so

if you're willing to grind for a year

[north portal]

i mean might as well grind when ur young and then be making good money by mid 20s

u can chillax later

rip

[quaint bolt]

you need this

[north portal]

free chicken sandwiches worth more than everything HRT has to offer tbh

[granite fulcrum]

Is there like a hardware server when I can ask about imc hardware

[vernal furnace]

S3? What does that stand for?

[north portal]

Khan academy has internships

damn

[ivory basalt]

Amazon s3 im assuming

[frank willow]

i have a 45 min OSIsoft interview tmrw, anyone know what thats like or if its behavioral/technical?

[frank knoll]

does anyone know of teams at linkedin that have bad wlb

like is there a tier

i cant find anything online

[quaint bolt]

simple storage service

[granite fulcrum]

Linkedin all seems hella nice

[vernal furnace]

So what are amazons big things? AWS, Dynamo, S3, Prime, Prime Video, e-commerce website? Bruh they compete with almost every company in almost every field lmfao

[quaint bolt]

prime video is a huge ass org

not everything can be classified as tier 1

if rds went down today robinhood, doordash etc would burn in flames so it's a tier 1 service

[vernal furnace]

Any ideas which teams are placed in Vancouver office or is it a mix of all & depends on luck?

[quaint bolt]

bro there's like 10 offices in vancouver

[vernal furnace]

Oh lmao

[quaint bolt]

they have everything from the commerce org to alexa and aws

[vernal furnace]

Didn’t know

Seems like it’s all random placements then lol

[quaint bolt]

but the ones I do know: s3, rds, ecfi, alexa

you can just think of all the main aws services that are customer-facing to be tier 1

you prolly don't wanna be on ddb tho

they have daily oncall rotations bc a single engineer can't handle all the tickets they get for more than a day

[vapid pecan]

anyone here have done 2x60 for amazon internship?

the email says schedule for a 1x60 but the flyer she attached says interns do a 2x60

[low vale]

daily oncalls

[jaunty cove]

on call sounds horrible

[stable cape]

How hard is the citadel auto OA.

[low vale]

daily on calls sound like a nightmare

[stable cape]

?

[low vale]

like once or twice a month would be fine with me

maybe more idk

but every day

no ddb

[quaint bolt]

but the inner workings of these aws services are v cool

[north portal]

hard enough

its a quant

[quaint bolt]

you can see why they have the 9 9s of reliability/durability etc

[jaunty cove]

all the interns are actually on call this year the entire time

[stable cape]

Like lc hards or?

[north portal]

u can get those maybe, i wouldnt expect anytrhing to not be on there

[quaint bolt]

they have like 10 stages before prod for rds

and prod itself has like 5+ stages, one for each region

[low vale]

good engineering practices for a tech company?

wtf

[frank knoll]

jane street insight program: https://www.janestreet.com/apply-insight-nyc/

[low vale]

zuck wouldn't approve

[uneven sand]

oncall isn’t as bad as you think

just don’t answer the pager

[jaunty cove]

amazon

[quaint bolt]

They need it for these services

[low vale]

nah im messing, I'm happy they don't break all the time

[quaint bolt]

Internal infra for aws is horrible tho

Bc they built this w/o aws

[low vale]

they should switch to aws smh

[dusk kayak]

i think if i get msft im just gonna take it

im tired of interviewing, i just wanna work on projects

[quaint bolt]

Prod doesn’t break all the time (never breaks) but the other stages will dw

[low vale]

isn't the rust compiler now made of rust lol

should use aws to make aws

aws-ception

[quaint bolt]

Circular dependency

[quaint bolt]

good join me

[dusk kayak]

@quaint bolt ur taking msft over ddog?

[quaint bolt]

ofc

all day everyday

[sick oar]

why

[quaint bolt]

only reason I’d take ddog is bc my good friend works there

[sick oar]

nyc 😢😢

[quaint bolt]

But I can visit her anytime

[dusk kayak]

because it means we get to be coworkers

[quaint bolt]

It’s beneficial for me long term

I’ll go to nyc in a couple years

[sick oar]

wdym

elaborate im so curious on logic

[quaint bolt]

I’m international in Canada

Want a ft offer in Canada

[vernal furnace]

[trim hedge]

He’s busy working at Amazon. I’m waiting for him to refer me

[sick oar]

is msft canada?

and ddog nyc?

[quaint bolt]

No it’s Washington but I can ask for a Canadian FT offer

[vernal furnace]

busy slaving it out for bezos' next yatch

[quaint bolt]

I’ve seen others do it

[sick oar]

How does pay differ?

[quaint bolt]

Why are you tryna make me sad

[sick oar]

😂😂

It’s bad huh

[hushed charm]

Hey has anyone gotten referred to Riot games?
I got the referral like a month ago and havent heard back, wondering if my application is messed up or something

[sick oar]

Just drive over border from seattle

[quaint bolt]

It’s good you just gotta add the words “for Canada”

I think goog with nego prolly pays the highest in Canada rn for new grad followed by amazon

[sick oar]

Work remotely in Canada but make them think you’re in US

[quaint bolt]

True I can prolly do that if I’m in Vancouver

[sick oar]

You’d need a P.o. box but

Not hard

It’s a good solution tbh

Get Nexus

[soft basin]

if u have relatives in the us u could make use of that

[quaint bolt]

I do in nyc

[vernal furnace]

amazon Vancouver & NYC have like an 80k+ CAD pay difference based on the details in amazon server

[soft basin]

yeah imma make use of my relatives in the us and move to the eu or somethin

[sick oar]

Yeah I figured

[quaint bolt]

Go to the mean streets of New Jersey where I belong

[sick oar]

I feel like pay should be 1:1 USD to CAD

that’s fair to me

Since everything is US prices but in CAD in canada

at least vancouver

[quaint bolt]

So true

[sick oar]

So 180k cad

what’s that in america momey

[quaint bolt]

Bro google considers Canada to be less than LCOL in their pay scale

Which just isn’t true

[sick oar]

By my estimation

130k usd should be a fair tc offer

in canada

Given col

Is that high

[quaint bolt]

Amazon is I think paying around that much now

[sick oar]

That’s decent then imo

[quaint bolt]

A lil less

[spiral bluff]

is amazon final hard

[quaint bolt]

Yeah it’s high

[sick oar]

🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

rip canada

[hushed charm]

some people get leetcode hards, some people literally get 2 sum lmfao

[spiral bluff]

no way lmfao

[sick oar]

he’s right

[vernal furnace]

doesn't amazon pay almost that much for canada though?

[sick oar]

my friend got 2sum

[sick oar]

key word almost

[hushed charm]

its so weird how much variation there is for amazon

[spiral bluff]

yeah wtf

[dusk kayak]

praying for the mythical fizzbuzz final..

[harsh jackal]

Prepare for design questions as well. Heard from couple of students

[soft iron]

is anyone here interviewing with LinkedIn currently?

[spiral bluff]

fizzbuzz 💀

if i get fizzbuzz ima just leave the call at that point

[quaint bolt]

I would’ve failed fizzbuzz first year of uni no

[sick oar]

datadog is 👻 bruh it’s been one week after my final @quaint bolt

[spiral bluff]

theres no way amazon gives out fizzbuzz right?

[hushed charm]

fizzbuzz too hard, i need something easier

[spiral bluff]

maybe years ago

[hushed charm]

like this https://leetcode.com/problems/add-two-integers/

[quaint bolt]

Do you have offer deadlines

[sick oar]

No but my recruiter said they met early this week

[spiral bluff]

no way this problem actually exists 💀

[quaint bolt]

Hmm they prolly made their decision already then

[sick oar]

Microsoft thinks I have a deadline tho lol

[quaint bolt]

Don’t wanna get your hopes up but if they haven’t rejected you yet they might be finalizing offer details

[sick oar]

I didn’t lie they’re disorganized

[hushed charm]

check the discussion tabs LOL

the solutions are insane

[sinful locust]

@spiral bluff u wanna see me solve fizzbuzz

[sick oar]

This was my thought process but i don’t wanna get hope

[hushed charm]

ong

[sick oar]

Lemme dm @quaint bolt

[mild aspen]

I took my OA from amazon around 9/10. Did anyone who took it around that time receive an interview request? Cause I didn't hear back at all. Not even a rejection.

[stable cape]

If the interview schedule email hasn't said what the interview will consist of, its ok to ask to explain the interview sections right?

Cause I just got my first interview request from boeing. And Idk what to do

[jaunty cove]

@sleek pike 😤

[hollow field]

Does anyone know DoorDashs process

[dusk kayak]

I keep getting TLE on my solution, can anyone else help?

from collections import deque
class Solution:
  def sum(self, num1: int, num2: int):
    def dfs(i, j):
      return
      dfs(i, j+1)
      dfs(i, j-1)
      dfs(i+1, j)
      dfs(i-1, j)

    q = deque()
    q.append(num1)
    q.append(num2)
    idx = abs(num1+num2)

    while q and index:
      num1 = q.popleft()
      num2 = q.popleft()
      q.append(num1)
      q.append(num2)
      idx -= 1

    c = 0
    for x, y in dr:

      if c > num1 or c < num2:

    return num1 + num2

[violet kelp]

is it fine for me to send a text to an interviewer thanking them?

[lilac lark]

should i request a palantir karat redo if i only had time to solve 2 questions

[spiral bluff]

@sinful locust YES

[hushed charm]

what the FUCK am i reading

[dusk kayak]

i was trying to figure out how to add two integers

[hushed charm]

hmmm

dw its a difficult problem

youll get it eventually

[lilac lark]

nah ended right after finishing 2nd q

do they take the better of your two interviews if you redo

[sinful locust]

how do yall do leetcode

i only can memorize and read solution

[spiral bluff]

OA, 2 technicals, and a final behavioral

[woeful lynx]

After some time you see that there are patterns. Try to understand those patterns

[severe oriole]

Think of all datat structures and algorithms and see which one fits the problem

[sinful locust]

i cant

[jaunty cove]

get good

[sinful locust]

i aint seeing any patterns

ok

[woeful lynx]

It took me 1 month to slowly see progress… like medium tree/graphs and dp is now not a problem for me

[lofty bluff]

anyone know why this case isnt returning false/

[uneven sand]

meanwhile i got 1 question for duolingo

[woeful lynx]

The first 2-3 weeks are hard

[lofty bluff]

if head.next == null it should return false right?

[woeful lynx]

Name?

[sinful locust]

i dont have 1 month tho

true

the point is to filter candidates @wary whale

[obsidian olive]

🧢

[lofty bluff]

@woeful lynx

[sinful locust]

not to interviewers
they need a way to filter people easily

[uneven sand]

duolingo actually asked me only 1 question

so i was done in 20 minutes

[obsidian olive]

Lmfao the second I spit fax ppl don’t wanna hear they cope

[uneven sand]

[sinful locust]

i dont want atlassian but i have 0 offers

how do i learn leetcode overnight for phone tom

[jaunty cove]

do some random problems

[dusk kayak]

focus on patterns first. https://seanprashad.com/leetcode-patterns/ + neetcode (gives a visual explanation) and you can recognize what patterns you need for certain problems

[jaunty cove]

that are popular

[bold lake]

its because you're not using python

[dusk kayak]

also I take literal notes on all of the problems that I do

[woeful lynx]

Name of the problem?

[sinful locust]

thanks

[jaunty cove]

look at the solution if u dont get it in 15 minutes

or 5 minutes tbh

and then hope u get something similar

[woeful lynx]

Thx!

[lofty bluff]

it's on the page

[dusk kayak]

[obsidian olive]

[hardy patrol]

[jaunty cove]

[sinful locust]

meta production engineer intern the questions were online so i just memorized it and solved it optimally in 5min then moving forward immediately

[obsidian olive]

I’ve gotten 820 b4

[sinful locust]

i've gotten 420 a5

pinterest ghosted

[uneven sand]

ik someone who got 0 and got offer

[jaunty cove]

i feel like

pinterest resume screens after oa

[hardy patrol]

idk if 730 is the extreme outlier or just within threshold

[obsidian olive]

They used Jedi mind trick

[safe minnow]

Applying to Amazon with a referral is actually detrimental to your application

[uneven sand]

resume usually matters more than codesignal

[hardy patrol]

feel like its before and after oa since so many got rejected without gca

[jaunty cove]

they also screen after probably

[obsidian olive]

I feel like companies resume screen way more than ppl think

[jaunty cove]

and only auto before

[safe minnow]

They fucking lost my application after merging it with the main website

[sinful locust]

[uneven sand]

pinterest resume screens before i think

[jaunty cove]

a lot of companies do both

[hardy patrol]

didnt you get oa without prior internships @honest spire

[uneven sand]

i've gotten ghosted on 2 applications

pinterest doesn't want me

[sinful locust]

@wary whale WHY AM I BLOCKED

[hardy patrol]

[hardy patrol]

bill gates in our midst

[sinful locust]

cuz i cant emote react to like 10 people

[hardy patrol]

[jaunty cove]

[safe minnow]

10 people?

Why 10

[sinful locust]

idk ask @wary whale

[jaunty cove]

No i didnt do that amazing on the OA

[hardy patrol]

[sinful locust]

rajesh

[jaunty cove]

thats racist

because they didnt memorize all of leetcode

[sinful locust]

failed for meta

[hardy patrol]

this is why you do leetcode

sushi your crusade against lc is only hurting yourself do b75 now

[sinful locust]

i just did 2sum but 3sum and they rejected 😢

[hardy patrol]

3sum is just 2sum with a for loop

(two pointer approach)

[sinful locust]

i did that and got rejected bro

[jaunty cove]

?

[hardy patrol]

for amz?

[jaunty cove]

then they just didnt like u

[sinful locust]

i think they want 2 pointer

[jaunty cove]

that is whst hes saying

[hardy patrol]

i mean yes thats how you do it

[severe oriole]

Only if it's sorted

[sinful locust]

you just said 2sum with for loop

[hardy patrol]

iirc they only want you to return the values so you can sort the list beforehand and solve

[jaunty cove]

or u can just sort a copy

[frigid gate]

Dtop

Stop

[jaunty cove]

👅

[frigid gate]

That's suck

[sinful locust]

[hardy patrol]

ill do mocks when i have a final confirmed

[frigid gate]

U re lying ,right ?

[jaunty cove]

amazon asked me to design a cache and then rejected me

[mild aspen]

I don't even need to get into amazon. I just need a final interview and I will die in peace.

[hardy patrol]

did you even have your final colin or is that a joke that went over my head

[frigid gate]

When u have result ?

[jaunty cove]

its cause the guy whos spazing about amazon got asked that

[hardy patrol]

lmao

unlucky

[jaunty cove]

everyone in the server

@frigid gate

[hardy patrol]

you really think he would get rejected from zon with 400+ lc questions answered

[frigid gate]

?

[hardy patrol]

☠️

[jaunty cove]

No i have not gave final

[hardy patrol]
