does anyone know anything about Nomura?
The same way you thought you wouldnt pass the other interviews
I still gotta write the essay responses for thrive intern...
i wanted to do it but man...
how do satisfactory reference checks work? would i need to provide them and should i be scared about it?
i already told myself if i somehow get microsoft im gonna cancel the rest of my processes
im tired
like amazon final?
oh
uhhhh
i lowk dont want to do amazon final 😔
esp since they didnt schedule mine yet LMFAO
auto
im doing may 22 - august 25
👀
14 weeks
im in co-op program so they let me pick dates
its 14 weeks
up to 16 for co-op program
its up to 16
at least u are not in LAC school like me
anyone had uber round 1 yet?
uber reply to u ?
yeah i had a month ago and got rejected
it's complicated but i basically shoved my resume down my recruiters throat
was a med-hard interval q
oh i see
not a bad problem to have
Wow, so sorry to hear that.
Weird flex
when should we receive offer letter sushi ?
How is databricks first recruiter call?
what topics for ama oa/inteview would u prioritize if u had to do it again?
twosum
when do u have linkedin?
i applied to roblox awhile ago but didnt give the OA
if i apply again will they give me the oa?
yes i will
i would take those
over amazon
yo, does anyone else's algo classes suck ass?
like mine is so fucking difficult man
i argued with my professor last week that hashmap time complexity was not strictly constant but actually amortized
LinkedIn > Amazon > Bloomberg
oh, my professors know what they're doing
they're just sadists
Linkedin return is so nice
they are all good companies
What places are still hiring?
if I failed to get into HFT's this year would databricks vs aazon vs bloomberg give me a higher chance new grad cycle?
which position for linkedin?
no it would give you less
Did u fail getting interviews, or did u fail at the interviews
yea its tough with internship hunting
failed finals
well ur LC god
what kinda patterns should i focus on for amazon?
2sum

Don’t think any company would necessarily help then, maybe BB if you failed at C++/low level qs, but u might also be put on a python/web project so idk
just focus on
2 Heaps
Arrays
Backtracking
Dynamic Programming
Fast & Slow pointers
Graph Traversal
In-place traversal of LL
K-way merge
Merge Intervals
Modified Binary Search
Sliding window
Top K elements
Topological Sorting
Tree BFS
Tree DFS
Two Pointers
and u should be good !
how did you all end up submitting dropbox's app considering its issue with not recognizing fields being filled?
when i submitted, it simply accepted it
bro just listed every category
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

could I get y'all feedback on a resume #1027600445121773619 message
I get resume rejected for the FAANG and tryna get like the cracked ppl here
just do amazon tagged
Please limit resume discussion to #1019675142248468601
Hey people.
Do you know if Splunk offers corporate housing to interns by any chance?
Probably a 750
What do you guys think?
where do I see it
Look on levels.fyi
how the fck do i do open source
What’s on it
i aced my algos exam and im dreading my phone screens 
its just discrete math 2
whats on algorithm exams
design an algorithm to sort an array where each element is at most k spaces away from their sorted location
im gonna take a wild guess and say algorithms
its not bad
i got the answer
but i lost half the points on the hw
because i didn't do it the way the professor expected
and did it pretty poorly proofwise
is that in the java standard library
average grade in this class is a 30
depends on what algos
dsa?
grokking is overkill
advanced algos?
won't help at all
gonna apply to out of reach companies just to dick around and practice
No
untrue
Still better than bootcamp
it depends on what you want to do tbh
if you're interested in fullstack dev/webdev primarily uni isn't the best
distributed systems and embedded?
you almost need uni
wait what 
like the game?
yes
Yes it is, but bootcamp grads have a harder chance to getting swe jobs
it does though?
I hate everything that a bootcamp stands for but I get why someone'd need it
Thats honestly copium. A degree can get you a job and can increase your chances. Bootcamps are just money grabs.
sitting on the fence about this
wish there was like a ranking of faang+ companies so i know which ones i got a chance in
Uni doesnt prepare you for the job for sure
lc hards are an instaloss
if you take uni seriously it absolutely prepares you
ive had to work with bootcamp newbies and undergrad newbies and I'd take the undergrads any day over the bootcampers
Are new applications still being opened up or are we at the end of the cycle?
recurence , right ?
If that list was available, those lower ranked companies would have to up their hiring standards since so many people would be applying
Uni is a rigorous buttfucking session for 4 years that builds character or something idk
But there is a considerable difference between the 2 hires
yes
Its still getting you interviews though
"practical skills" are skills that can be learned in a couple of weeks or months
not something you need uni for
its interesting how the biggest thing it teaches you is how to be an independent learner
what uni
If you were a bootcamp grad, you would've been fucked and not even gotten an interview
how'd you even define a T10 uni
My cousin did a bootcamp (luckily his bootcamp was free) and he told me how stacked the odds were against him
TP LO ON ME
somethings that not in the top 10?
Go to csrankings.org and see the top 10 universities on there
I AM JAILOR
for bootcamps u only got a year to learn, at a uni u got 4 years. as a bootcamp grad if u utilize ur time properly u can get an offer in 2 years
you’re jester
i love getting jester
They just opened up the SWE course in their server right?
Its t8
i don't get the idea that a bootcamp prepares you better, you;re not learning distributed systems or ml or a bunch of other stuff at a bootcamp
you can literally do shit that you do at a bootcamp on your own time
it doesnt, just helps u get in the industry
u dont learn ML at a undergrad degree either
Well yeah no shit
depends but yes if you try you can
there are bootcamps like springboard that help with getting a job
But there are others which have an "low acceptance rate"
definitely
oh man, if you started with this no one would have disagreed with you
They definitely can, but you can choose courses that you can take
uni > anything else for me because i go for free 🙃
Depending on your uni
poverty moment
Does anyone know how many rounds for citadel after oa ?
yo me too
where?
nyu
But you can be in college and still get that practical exp through
ye
wait nyu has full financial aid?
I go to a T10 for free as well. Actually, they pay me
$4k per semester
crazy
same lol

i go to an ass school but it's free
Poverty moment
im going to nyu then after my community college
DOC ON ME
You decided to be on alert tonight.
heard they got a transfer program that covers the tuition
We ranked higher than Columbia 
✅✅✅
Everywhere is higher than columbia now :^)
💯
oh i meant in general
u think any CUNY schools are t400?
they decilined to be in the rankings
after they cheated rankings
what rankings do u look at? us news?
Yes
none matter tbh
These are the real questions that need to be asked
🔥 faang pipeline wait for me
stony brook is pretty high up there too
does citadel ask for transcripts im about to lie abt my gpa
But yeah community college -> sbu/nyu would be valid
CUNY Queens College is pretty dope for CS
Mid for CS imo. CCNY better
SBU is highly rated for CS tho
Yeah
they force u to take chemistry 🤢
Like there are companies who have hired students from certain universities and therefore simp for those unis
I mean that works
City tech is cool tho

🤡
Harvard for CS kinda ehh. But the prestige of Harvard can take you long ways for FinTech
is it good to tell stripe the pending offers you got?
networking for harvard
are you in harvard?
thats about it
whats mit then
i’ll prestige ur mom
Yeah
I'll prestige higher than you in Dank Memer 🥶
im lvl 100 prestige
yall use bisect.bisect in interview?
whats that
No
What even is that
python builtin binary search
I’m pretty sure using bisect in general isn’t a great idea
Kinda cringe
why
You can emulate bisect with heaps most of the time
Asians are discriminated by Harvard
Your interviewer has a decent chance of not knowing bisect
what is "prestige kid"
implementing heap would take longer

i used it in codesifnal
Yes but not significantly
If your interviewer doesn’t know bisect they’ll be so confused
you have a oneliner for heap?
thatd more confusing
No I don’t have a one liner
But writing out the heap functions isn’t gonna take more than 2-3 minutes
bisect is just array and what you want to find
bisect.bisect(arr, element)
they really won't understand?
every python leetcode solution uses bisect tho 😢
I mean I guess you can ask if they’re comfortable with you using it
"ok, so this function implements a binary search. this variation finds the leftmost element gte."
qed
ok
ill say that
"this function solves alien dictionary"
im memorizing top 5 most common questions 2 hrs before 🥶
racism
?
thanks
😂
Lol
Actually i worked really hard to get into harvard
My parents hired 5 tutors for me

does hackerrank tell u if u need camera before taking
suspect
yeah they tell you it will pe proctored
my dads a manhattan banker who knows the admissions person
my pc doesnt have a webcam wtf
reported
fr
cheating on oas doesn't make too much sense to me because most companys don't go "here's a hard oa and an easy final"
fr
Who you gonna report "plasmasheep"?
Hello Amazon,
Im writing to inform that eat me out has said he is planning to cheat on your OA
Regards,
LC hard in amzn final
"eat me out"
i haven't interviewed enough then i guess
You'd be banned from Amazon
i thought oa was supposed to be the easier screen
amazon
dw i k bezos
Not for me 😦
thats literally so common
nah not for me either
whats 2 sum
1 less than threesum
its when add two numbers together
Whoever gets two sum on final for Amazon ran out of luck for their entire life
can i use builtin python sort in interview?
just got the second (final?) round call for state farm summer internship. never done a live coding technical interview before any of u got any pointers?
talk about how hot the interviewer is

r u thecatinthehat
same
stop socializing in cscareers.dev
what is ur name 😂
Driver/navigator kinda nice

idk bout gap i got 2 easies i think
legit i read a story about some guy who fell for his interviewer
🤡
LMFAOOOOO
went for the kiss too
Wasnt that for college admissions?

yea thats a diff story
wait was that the yale copypasta?
the college apps one
Yeah it was
saw on a tiktok 🥲
i like when i go on dates and say im a math major and then they ask what kind of jobs can u do with that

all the leetcode sweats gonna say yes
people irl automatically assume im a cs tryhard when i tell them im a csmajor
preach
and they're right 😭
is Zillow a good company to apply for? Whats the resume value?
💀
ask what?
well im not a tryhard 400lc type csmajor, but im still more into cs than most
If he watched anime
Oh well, as soon as you say you're a CS Major, impression is imprinted already
U r mad
Maybe programming is your only trait
And gang banging with frat dudes every Saturday night
is datadog oa LC style or is it like API and SQL based?
anime watcher 🚩
lil of both
yayyyyy frats ‼️
Fk u
🤔
better than majoring in potassium
im happy cs is a major
otherwise i'd have to do a hard engineering discipline or premed
good
Idk man, just do architecture 
architecture is p difficult

not harder than cs i don't think though
Fartnite?
thats not a video game
Eww
some guy: wyd if ur depressed fighting demons in a war torn country
cs careers: just get good at leetcode lmfao
Imagine being a grown ass man and playing fortnite
am i the only person ever to get rejected by bloomberg phone screen
lowkey thought it was rlly ez
why are we learning leetcode just to suffer
i cant tell if this person is being serious or not
precisely
did they ghost or send email
Tru
👎
thats not too bad
klol
i love vicotry royal :)
I dont play fartnite
fortnite chapter 3 season 6 episode 48

Degen alert
anime watcher ❗

Idc

All I gotta do is not mention I watch anime and my anime count 
of 17 counts of arson in florida
i would probably be GE if i played again
🤔
probably
Cringe
valve reset everyone's ranks
went from s4 to mg1
im 5 minutes of Csgo discussion away from redownloading steam and failing my classes
i used to be so dogshit at csgo because i played with trackpad
and had omega squeaker voice
lmao

Bro I feel you man.
Only chads play on trackpad
league on trackpad is a lot worse than csgo trackpad
oh shit i gotta speedrun my physics homework lmaooo
...
You don't need a template, just say you found another offer that's a better fit and thank them for their time
rip
alright fellas checking msft
😭
When did you apply
says it in the ss sept 6
updates when you apply
Oh ok
Is anyone from the UK on this server.??
I dont know the microsoft application center very well
amazon better
im very familiar with it ive been staring at this fucking screen the past month

cisco noncoding then atlassian coding in 5 min
Microsoft is the worst faang
U know
weird way of spelling amazon
Its a nice WLB and retirement home
gotta cope react that colin
applied to riot and apple with the 0.1% chance that they get back to me
Are those even faangg
Guys i was kidding
nuro
Its not even in faang
N and A
The United Kingdom bro
FAANG = facebook apple airbnb nuro/nvidia google
Damn what hap to Netflix
😭
stonks down
F
But always ghosting 😭
WRONG. FAANG only means AMAZON.
im ghosted by everyon
so their stock being down doesn't matter to much tbh
why cisco
livestream
just go amazon
vc?
we'll code for you
i think its just on phone
Endorsi moment 
Amazon the best PIP
praying amz isnt full im literally in the next wave
but theyre taking longer than usual to send oas
I'm still on submitted for Microsoft
how
Wtf
butt plug?
Why did I mistaken Microsoft for Amazon
💀
I mean you got Amazon so who cares
BROO CISCO ISNT SHOWING YP
how am i ghosted b y CISCO evne
11 but at 8 am i said reschedule to 2:15 pm PST
then recruiter never answered
Doesnt everyone get ghosted by Cisco after OA
no oa
yes
Ayo
Whats the grad date hack
i requested and they said 2:15 pm instwad but didnt confirm
always saying you are a junior
well for me its true
no way msft must be full
i did not get resume rejected
sigh of relief
theres NC?
whats that
if there's NC thats pog
what if they accidentally cancelled me for wrong role
and it was actually after phone i got rejected for security
thatd suck more
sigh i think?
wat nc mean
Canadians smh
north carolina
lul
phone call now
Inhale large amounts of copium everyday or you will be depressed for life
copeing hard ic
im depressed doing discrete math
Wait till you get to algo
oh
?

?
iykyk
Fax
Didn’t pass all test cases for one of them lmao
Nah I'm too lazy, I use Honey for coupons
"honey is free money"
ye
u mean the one on expedia or in general lol
its pissing me off cause i cant understand this shi
the probability problem?
ye
u want expected value right?
just look at geometric distribution and how to calculate ev for that and its ez
like you know u collect 1 coupon on the first pick and then after that the prob of getting a new coupon is (N - 1)/N which is the parameter for the geo distibution
and repeat that K steps if you want K coupons
E(C) = E(c0 +c1 +c2...) = E(c0)+E(c1)+E(c2)...
yea i get that, i think i get confused at the part where they start asking expected value shi
but ill look over that shi again 😭
Expected val of GEO is 1/p and so if u get a coupon with probability 5/6
the expected number of picks until you get it is 6/5
is NetApp a good company?\
is it cereal box problem?
aight, ill ping, if i start to feel like killing myself again, thanks!
idek
alright, np
getting amazon has reduced my work ethic to 0 lmao
both
like if i hadn't gotten amazon
i would have done at least 40 lc or some shit for google by now
i think ive done like 8
and not even done
just looked at
and i was like
yep ik how to do this
next

i know but i can't even begin to put effort into studying again
im procrastinating on scheduling my google phone 
It feels like theres never enough prep
did anyone take pin final yet
how much does amazon new grad pay for nyc
205
varies drastically
A lot
average?
you sure?
Is Pin like OA -> Recruiter Screen -> Final?
for sde yes
according to levels its lower than 180 sometimes

zon best company
yes
I heard that their finals were notoriously difficult
yoo sakkaboi
How was the Recruiter screen
Yo whats up? I feel like I've seen you from somewhere
remember me from tech
Hey ma people
Does anyone have Gem offer for this summer?
gah damn
gem gem gem gem
o im ft but im tryna see if any interns already heard back after final
you do?
no clue
its not 205 everyone
some of the seniors got ng offers at 170k standard l4
Yeah man
i think 205 is bay area
The discord name was familiar
yes
You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
How you been
😭
205 area code is birmingham apparentl
Oh yeah I heard your class difficult asf
415 is most of bay area
yea
925 > 415
to pass u just gotta get a 40% overall average
dont know where u heard that, i spoke to at least 20 differnet nyc ngs all of them are at 205
Probably still hard to do with those assignments
yeah
i think passing in my algos class might be a 20% test avg lol
since class avg for tests is 30%
dynamic memory allocator -> multi process handling -> multi threading
but i guess they are very useful concepts
Were you always in this server?
I mean I just joined maybe a week ago
i come here to see how many people get amazon intern offers
Kinda tox imo, but idk why I keep coming back to it and chatting
oh
yeah lol 
Lots of people got their amazon intern offers
Ayo chill but yeah
yea
👀
Anyone know what Bloomberg’s tech chat is about?
lol
Tech scares me
at this point id be willing to settle for an msft reject cause this cold shoulder treatment is arguably worse than outright rejection
reach out to a recruiter on li if you wanna speedrun the process
would recruiters actually give af if your on the screening portion
i mean ill try it since my expectations are wildly low anyway
someone said they sped up to interview next day
alright bet
but also they could just say no we only do hiring in spring for security
Worked for BBerg
I was ghosted until I reached out to like 4 different recruiters and now I've got a phone
is samsara OA after resume screen?
no
wtf is that 
i miss internhsip
weekends off 
no student hours on sunday and studying for quizzes on monday 💀
Idk they just said it was the first step in their process
first step for me was phone
wtf is a tech chat 
wtf is a tech 
wtf is 
wtf 

I GOT SCAMMED
how
Just doxxed my first name
How?
No phone😔
Schedule interview for next day 
I’m fucked
Hi David
dave's name is david wow
davis colin
Now if I had my first name doxxed, I would be done
gl
if airbnb rejects me i will play the gladiator soundtrack and walk through fields of wheat

what if they ghost
Isn’t tech chat phone
i will stay in this discord and keep typping
until they reject me
Yea

chat about tech
U just talk about your resume with an engineer
And they might give you a coding problem
ocaml for symbolic execution
a fate worse than death
i dont
For tech chat?? Nah
I had that happen when I got interview from Bloomberg at high school
leetcode = a fate worse than death
I got the phone call and they asked me an coding problem (fibonacci)
bruh ppl at my college did bloomberg and msft high school
😢
thats cringe
i applied evreywhere high school - 0 emails back
I took an L at their 3rd round though
Y’all should’ve faked a college and done Amazon
Final round was so close welp
messaged like 4 msft recruiters
6 minutes

Did anyone hear back from Imc today?
Hello I hope this finds you well - sorry to bother you. I am a student at X looking for internships.
May you refer me to the role 1458163 please?
(it worked)
3x
out of 100

What if X is a shit school
i didnt ask for a referral no 🧢
basically
i better get lc tagged medium or easy
i better get lc tagged medium or easy
i better get lc tagged medium or easy
i better get lc tagged medium or easy
i better get lc tagged medium or easy
otherwise i quit
if amazon asks me anything cs related besides leetcode im getting rejected
OOD
ood in python is easy bc it barely exists
Hello <recruiter>,
I'm a Comp Sci Junior at <school> and I'm still in the application pool for the 2023 internship for over a month and was wondering the timeline on the process? Thanks a lot!
or are they going to mark me down for not writing getter and setter decorators 
short and straight to the point
yeah pretty much. It's over zoom but it's pretty much a phone screen
Yeah
they wont
I need to study OOD for an interview 😦
thts extremely crige
Doing that shows your knowledge
knowledge of how to waste your time
if u want x just say object.x
if u want to change x
just say
object.x = y

mutation? variables? 🤮
this is not monkas
Yeah ik
just bc u put something behidn a layer of abstraction doesnt make it safer
incorrect
ok yea ideally wouldnt be writing a class in the first place ok
but if i get asked ood i will not write getters and setters
somebody could change a value in some random file and that change could affect a reference in another random file
safer in what way
safer is not a disease
Anyone do NVIDIA OA
yes it is
class Obj:
"""property demo"""
@property
def attribute(self):
return self._attribute
@attribute.setter
def attribute(self, value):
self._attribute = value
#
@attribute.deleter

del self._attribute
this is hoirrfying

mfw 200k cash for a new grad is rough
seattle offer is actually the worst
seattle gets the same pay as detroit 
i want detroit offer
amazon has everything in the same payband except for nyc and bay area
tho there's a location in tennessee that's lower
immuta > muta
i applied

are you not blacklisted
you didn't know how to design twitter
: (
and going "Why is it so expensive here"
you're living in manhattan
thats why
i only go deep into manhattan for ice cream
there's this really nice ice cream place with like 30 flavors near penn station
depends on where ur applying
i failed an interview and got offer
me with amazon 
hopefully me with google too 
anywhere between 1 second and 100 years
I probably get rejected by LinkedIn. Everyone with finals later dates got their offers 😭
not necessarily
i know people that got offer before me and they did their final a week after me
and i still got offer
you only get offer once they identify a team for you which ig takes a variable amount of time

How is juniper networks?
it's very common for people to commute from the suburbs in jersey
Prob New York state, not City.
every city has suburbs
a lot of people live in jersey and work in nyc
BKLYN --> Lower Manhattan
New york or new york cityy
there is a lot to new york thts not just NYC
come down to upstate NY for the real depressing New York 

new york is a city in new york
there are some pretty cool waterfalls

new york new york means nyc

i've been to sf many times and never saw shit bc i used my brain
