[hardy patrol]

[jaunty cove]

[final cobalt]

Unlucky

[hardy patrol]

[jaunty cove]

:3

[hardy patrol]

gods most nefarious worker

[jaunty cove]

cope

[tulip hemlock]

Has anyone gone through Jane Street phone?

[shadow bough]

would yall take google swe intern or amazon sde intern? I'm conflicted rn cuz amazon pays a lot more, but google is google

[earnest hatch]

Google

Gotta factor in the free food

Amazon you can always get

[shadow bough]

I see

[earnest hatch]

With Google it's harder to pass resume screen and interview

[shadow bough]

i think he means the internship is easier, I could be wrong

[frigid gate]

not everyone

calm on

if they are easy like that

they are not faang

come on

[hardy patrol]

first round is retarded easy but the final is rng-ish

if you get lc hard which happens then you rolled a nat 1

[frigid gate]

I got lc hard on final

amz fuck

*suck

[hardy patrol]

tragic

praying for an easy q

[final cobalt]

Google probably. But up to you

[frigid gate]

I don't know whether I should. thank to the interviewer or blame him

[jaunty cove]

did u get an lc hard or did u get system design

[hardy patrol]

heard big G wlb is good

[final cobalt]

Now this tbh.

[frigid gate]

it really lc hard

[final cobalt]

Sheeesh

Unlucky

[hardy patrol]

if it isnt reverse a string then its lc hard in my books

[frigid gate]

every of my friend said that it is lc hard

:((

design cache exxpiration

I told u

[jaunty cove]

Lol

Lc hard + system design

[final cobalt]

LRU cache for amz?

Dam

[sly copper]

Some people get easy Amazon final questions

Someone I know literally got asked to implement merge sort

[quaint bolt]

Don’t be fooled by this

I got a q that was easier than lc easy for my first interview and then a med 2d dp for my 2nd

[sinful locust]

[sinful locust]

real ambition for this cash

[hexed slate]

is there an incoming citadel chat?

[tepid moat]

Stripe vs Figma vs Two Sigma, how would you guys rank those

[earnest hatch]

I wouldn't rank them. They're all in their own category and pay well, I would go with whichever you're interested in the most.

[quaint bolt]

most sensible cscd member

[tepid moat]

I am interested in trading, but not sure if 2s is the place for it

[languid finch]

TIL there are 11 letters in "FAANG"

[quaint bolt]

stripe engineering v cool tho so if you don't mind the fact that they might never IPO, consider taking a look into their blogs

[tepid moat]

Want to do like JS, HRT, Citadel. So trying to see which of these three can improve my change getting there

[quaint bolt]

2s and don't think twice if that's what you really wanna do

mcdonald's

[tepid moat]

Makes ton of sense. For internship tho I would say other things like which doors it opens and learning opportunities matter more, which can be ranked

[quaint bolt]

burger king foot lettuce

[tepid moat]

Gotcha

[quaint bolt]

no mr salat that's not value

value: mcdouble and a junior chicken

[near swallow]

Faang acronym dumb anyways. Pays fatter than many companies for mid level + meta picking up this new PIP culture rn so it’s all shit at end of day

Get the bag and get out

[soft basin]

yep that’s the goal

[hardy patrol]

nightmare scenario

if i can figure the base case it wouldnt be that bad but i cant manage without help

[scenic sluice]

Its RNG last year i got OA with a worse resume and this year ive been ghosted

[sour bison]

Do you need perfect on Datadog OA to move on? Think I missed an MCQ

[sinful locust]

hence why they say good luck

not really

its random

yea and its not tho loolool

if ur geting paid 350+ after 2 years its better than most of all fang

albeit in hcol

[serene cove]

i got med dp

solved it

got rejected

xd

[turbid marten]

I have the stripe oa but an offer deadline for nov 1st
would it be possible to move through stripes process and get an offer/rejection before nov 1st

yeah

best case scenario tho

still not enough time?

Im considering when to accept the offer and stop internship hunting cuz I need to focus on school

Did u get Amazon for next summer?

[jaunty cove]

Mfw i hit the bomb in minesweeper

😮

[obsidian olive]

PREACH

[ashen matrix]

Extra space. Bad.

[jaunty cove]

extra linear memory is death

[sly copper]

I did the first few problems in c

Not bad just more things you have to create from scratch

[jaunty cove]

Hashmaps 😐

[sly copper]

Depending on the problem, a lot from scratch

or less

[jaunty cove]

Wdym, leetcode does?

[deep valley]

Do you guys feel like applying on weekends lowers your chances because by the time the recruiter looks at resumes yours will be behind everyone who applied closer to monday

Why?

Really don't get the point of the troll responses

Do you guys seriously not have anything better to do on a saturday?

Other than trolling people you'll never ever meet on a discord server

Then just say that no reason for trolling

I agree with you but the reason I asked is because I do most of my apps on weekends

On weekdays I applied to a smaller amount and had better responses

Yea its most likely anecdotal but it was just weird to see

[still yacht]

this is why CS is the greatest major of all time

[hollow sun]

Except most of those openings r prob for seniors+

[still yacht]

cappp

[sinful locust]

The state of getting internship during recession

[still yacht]

Really don't get the point of the troll responses here in this prestigious discord.
Do you guys seriously not have anything better to do on a Saturday, come one now?
Other than trolling people you'll never ever meet on a discord server, why don't you touch some grass.

[deep valley]

It really isn't, I've spoken to people in recruiting and within a couple days they get hundreds if not thousands of apps

[spark hearth]

u forgot to capitalize 'S' in 'Saturday'

[deep valley]

Realistically they'll look at the first 200 or 300 apps

[hardy patrol]

i was just out the whole day

let me check my msft app clearly they got to it by now

[deep valley]

So the earlier you apply the better, but when you apply on weekends it artificially pushes your app back

Who said I'm waiting to apply?

[hardy patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/cereal-throw-angry-guy-out-of-milk-gif-14265412

where rushil from simplify at he needa talk to msft about my app

[earnest hatch]

[spark hearth]

no

wtf

[hardy patrol]

simplify should have warned us about the impending recession

[spark hearth]

why does rukia look like a boy now

@median hedge

thats rukia in tybw arc

lol

stop

stop ✋️

wtf

[hardy patrol]

pause

[spark hearth]

at&t

[hardy patrol]

any company with quirky interview processes arent worth your time (unless they pay 💰 )

[tiny sedge]

yeah it got transferred to grad intern role or something for me for idk what reason

[earnest hatch]

Ramp didn't do that to be cool with their process, they did it to filter out the large number of applicants they got

[uneven sand]

strings must be in double quotes

[hardy patrol]

genuinely despise hirevues

what does stripe do

[uneven sand]

yes

Bloomberg basically just asks from tagged

last year

iirc no

off-season only for Waterloo

bruh you screwed yourself

[hardy patrol]

why would you admit that

[jaunty cove]

good will bins find

[earnest hatch]

SQL injection is still very relevant to a backend role. They also did CTFs for backend last time, so looks like it's working well for them.

[hardy patrol]

common goodwill W

[jaunty cove]

also found a matlab guide which im gonna buy

[hardy patrol]

bb got good wlb i just want any company that doesnt grind me to dust

[earnest hatch]

True, they just have a high bar for their applicants and they want the type that have an impressive resume and don't mind putting up with that

[pallid finch]

Got 673 in HRT codesignal (not gca). Too low?

[earnest hatch]

BMW

[hardy patrol]

you gonna get cooked

[pallid finch]

lol

[hardy patrol]

recruiter going to call you up just to berate you for sending it in

[manic wagon]

do u guys know if alt emails work for amazon

[deep valley]

Depends on the company but generally go for 800+

[jaunty cove]

So i can get mathworks intenrship

Lmao

[manic wagon]

cause i wanna apply for summer 2023 but i already did for fall

[deep valley]

No they'll merge your accounts and delete the second one

[hardy patrol]

hrt is selective asf isnt it

[pallid finch]

This is not the GCA though. The 800+ is still valid?

[deep valley]

Oh if you're applying for different apps it should be fine

[jaunty cove]

The whole book makes an analogy between building an async website and making a coffee machine

[deep valley]

Yea

[pallid finch]

rip

[deep valley]

670 is too low ngl man

[pale cairn]

doordash oa is very fun 🙂 had a lot of enjoyment

[hardy patrol]

just take the L and grind for the next one

[pallid finch]

i messed that enhanced hashmap question

[manic wagon]

ic

also for cga if every section is out of 300

how is max total 850

[pallid finch]

That score out of 1200 is unrelated to the 850 score

[hardy patrol]

to amazon yea

[wooden shard]

U don’t need for Mathworks intenrship lmao

[hardy patrol]

if he can get it anyone can

[pallid finch]

Btw how long does IMC take to send the video interview?

[hardy patrol]

[oblique sonnet]

[hardy patrol]

[manic wagon]

i think i auto rej on resume cause i got to final in fall

but it was within 6 months

[sinful locust]

You forgor💀

[manic wagon]

idk how it works tho

but the reject was cause of the cooldown from april

so did i reset my cooldown?

by applying on cooldown?

[hallow copper]

i took roblox's CS

[jaunty cove]

[quaint bolt]

[mystic depot]

wait what do u mean by this?

u mean never return to the same company after the internship?

[dense spear]

what u wanna know

[past comet]

which companies are allowing to push from summer to winter and allows remote ? any idea ?

[quaint bolt]

msft if you go to a co-op school

I pushed from summer to winter and could do remote if I want

[mystic depot]

is it possible to take another offer at a different company after you have signed an offer with another company?

and then leave the other one

[quaint bolt]

google too although I’m doing the other way round for that and pushing from winter to summer

[past comet]

the prblem with my school is that i can do co-op its remote/ the office is < 25 miles from the campus fml

[quaint bolt]

goog is “hybrid” but depends on the team you get

[past comet]

noice!!!!

[quaint bolt]

That’s so dumb

[past comet]

yeah

[quaint bolt]

But yeah msft can do remote if you request it

[sick oar]

[quaint bolt]

[cold path]

I don’t buy Anything

Btw

[dense spear]

microsoft subsidiary companies dont do remote on request

[quaint bolt]

Microsoft is stinky because they stopped ng hiring

Which is really rude of them

[past comet]

[near swallow]

[quaint bolt]

Maybe if every 2023 intern accepts their 2024 ng RO

[near swallow]

[quaint bolt]

That’s better than companies just rescinding offers imo but sucks regardless

[lament mirage]

thoughts on bay area vs austin?

[earnest hatch]

Yes, they just posted it up last night
http://news.rr.nihalnavath.com/posts/Coinbase-Summer-Software-Engineer-Remote--33b24016

[near swallow]

If u simp austin save it for mid or senior because in bay u get more $ and more $ saved

Hcol -> lcol is the move

[cold path]

Who’s austin

I don’t think I’d simp for him

[quaint bolt]

What about texas

[past comet]

huhhh

[near swallow]

Ok actually u have a point on both but i think cash savings are very similar

[past comet]

u got me

[cold path]

Who is that

[quaint bolt]

Boston’s best friend

[past comet]

does msft follow 90-day rule ? they told they will give ur decision in 90 days from the day u applied

[quaint bolt]

offer or heard back from them?

bc some people who heard back from msft asks qs that I wouldn’t think someone who’s got prev faang exp would ask

[pallid finch]

whats the gca cutoff for databricks?

Guys any tips for getting past amazon resume screen? It’s basically impossible…..

[quaint bolt]

yo anyone know if its a bad sign that amazon couldn't schedule u for a final one week so they ask u to fill out the availability again? i literally selected almost all the time options and they still couldnt schedule me??

[hardy patrol]

why do people ask for tips to pass screens its rng

improve your resume thats all you can do

or do what i did when i started out and add another lie to your resume for every 50 apps that get rejected

community college to harvard student in 4 months

[cold path]

Would it be okay to lie about an internship? For example, I could say that I interned at HRT

[quaint bolt]

helpful advice, just wasted on the troll

they’re ex-banana corp

[hardy patrol]

less so for him and more so for people lurking

[sick oar]

no like previous interns

[obsidian vigil]

Tf no way

Do they not cross verify

Ok good 🤣

But yea I’ll prolly take the Venture for Canada thing to improve my resume

[low vale]

yall got a list of good string questions?

neetcode doesn't have a strings section unless im actually blind

[jaunty cove]

Like string dp?

[dense spear]

i asked that for linkedin

focused a lot on how the employees felt about their job and their happiness there

yeah my two things were impactfulness that they felt they had

and how happy they were in the position alongside wlb

[low vale]

nah just questions involving strings in general

[dense spear]

i actually like string questions

[low vale]

like "valid palindrome" but harder

[dense spear]

becuase python makes it just an array question

[low vale]

i do too

yeah actually thats true

i'll check it out

grind75 has a strings tag

with 14 questions

doing those

doing arrays

then doing google interview

[dense spear]

i remember I got an OA that give an array as a string and you had to parse each question's input before actually solving it

💀

took 1/2 the question

length

[low vale]

No one knows what any of the numbers mean

So there’s no point

[past comet]

yeah ig

i just submitted my app from alt account and it got transferred to another job id

just got curious lol 😅

[quaint bolt]

They’ll prolly merge your accounts lol

[past comet]

wait.....msft does that too ?

[dense spear]

mine is m3

[quaint bolt]

merge accounts is literally a leetcode question my friend

I’m sure big tech can figure out how to do it if dumb cs degens can

[past comet]

true

[past comet]

oo ok ok

[dense spear]

idk what any of it means

[past comet]

same 😅

[obsidian vigil]

What that mean idk but rejection is inevitable

[hardy patrol]

you got rejected

[slow veldt]

has anyone gotten a msft interview recently?

[obsidian vigil]

Yea

[slow veldt]

nuts

[hardy patrol]

if its not in the active tab then its an L

[slow veldt]

my final app got revived

just kill me

[obsidian vigil]

😦

[hardy patrol]

sometimes theres pockets of rejects others a trickle

same

[final cobalt]

MSFT do be having high requirements i guess

[jaunty cove]

palindromic substrings

https://leetcode.com/problems/palindromic-substrings/

https://leetcode.com/problems/longest-palindromic-subsequence/

this one is harder

[low vale]

what company 👀

[low vale]

pretty straightforward dp i think

[low vale]

no clue how to start on this lol

gonna try it

[obsidian vigil]

Wdym? I’m not cracked or anything

[final cobalt]

or im just super incompetent

[obsidian vigil]

Brev I’m a first year in uni with a generalized engineering program first year

Can’t be worse then me

Uh tbh don’t remember

Summer ish

August sept

😂

How do y’all jus spam apply every where

[zealous grotto]

apply until you get something I guess

[jaunty cove]

yea its a lot harder than the substring one

For me at least

[sick oar]

msft finals are usually ezpz right

[quaint bolt]

rng

[hardy patrol]

you know by now almost everythings rng

unless your like a codeforce whizz

[coarse vigil]

Ring

did u do swe or trading

damn

they screen after i think

well u cant get better on the OA

is your resume better now

yea

"[e-mail]" also went to the same school as "[e-mail]", they must be friends haha

[obsidian vigil]

Bro y’all doin the most 😭

[sinful locust]

yo

[sick oar]

i used diff email for duolingo and got diff result

everything else the samne

[sinful locust]

same

had this on oa earlier

got a 10/11;

[jaunty cove]

unlucky

my top down cache solution gets memory limit exceeded

[sinful locust]

goood

[low vale]

mine got mem exceeded when i forgot to put none inside lru_cache

[honest zodiac]

This question is so common

[sinful locust]

its pretty hard

[jaunty cove]

Die

[sinful locust]

its definitely not common

[jaunty cove]

i think substring is common

not subsequence

[sinful locust]

LPS is definitely not common

its a pretty hard problem

[honest zodiac]

See both around a lot

[jaunty cove]

you sent some really harder version

[sinful locust]

like id say easily a hard

[robust bridge]

What do you need on your resume to pass the resume screening for ML internships?

[jaunty cove]

which is all unique palindromic subsequences or something

[sinful locust]

publications

[jaunty cove]

i have no idea how to do that

[sinful locust]

that shit is hard

[honest zodiac]

It’s a good way to understand DP tho

[sinful locust]

im being sarcastic

the unique one is jank

[jaunty cove]

dp "find all unique something" is always hard af

[sinful locust]

doesnt feel like a good quesiotn

[honest zodiac]

Like what

[sinful locust]

i mean not really

the combination sum ones are pretty easy

[jaunty cove]

ok ye

a

[sinful locust]

you just move. forward or dont

but the subsequence one is jank

[jaunty cove]

but there are a lot of random math dp hards

[sinful locust]

doesnt feel like a good solution

[jaunty cove]

where its like find all unique somethning

[sinful locust]

why do u even do dp hards

waste of time

[jaunty cove]

because its fun

what shuld i be doing

i think we already had this conversation

[sinful locust]

dont do lc

@robust bridge

you need to be published to neurips

[honest zodiac]

Subsequence is the usual dp table, but building it has too many tricks you need to know

[sinful locust]

if youre not published to renowned conference prettu much ur getting ghosted

IEEE or some ML good conference is needed

[honest zodiac]

O(n) is crazy

[clever grail]

@sinful locust

[sinful locust]

no

baller is james harden

[jaunty cove]

he is rellab

[honest zodiac]

Longest sub string took a while to understand

[jaunty cove]

isnt it O(n^2) because u have n^2 states for the choices of i , j

for subsequences

[sinful locust]

no

[robust bridge]

Ah okay. I have like one insignificant publication in a journal for a project I worked on as a research assistant. How do you go about listing them on your resume? @sinful locust

[sinful locust]

its o(nlogn)

[honest zodiac]

I’ve seen an interview where you need to use dp table for longest sub string, they won’t let you use the basic expand from middle solution

[jaunty cove]

Tf

[honest zodiac]

Dp is so weird to me

[jaunty cove]

Where is the log from

[sinful locust]

search "how to list publications on resume" on google, pick from any of the links, no one way to do it

[robust bridge]

Alright, thanks!

[sinful locust]

no problem

[honest zodiac]

That’s pretty cool

[sinful locust]

good luck

i have no Neurips papers

not yet at least 😈

[honest zodiac]

Yes

[jaunty cove]

Idk

i thought it was quadratic

oh

fck

its becaus

you do

longest common subsequence in Nlogn with S and reverse S

instead of expanding around center

[sinful locust]

yo wtf

he got 5r

its all rng buddy

gl

pray to rng gods

when ur final

im waiting for next steps hopefully

gl king

[honest zodiac]

Good luck

[sinful locust]

best advice i can give you is

literally go in there thinking ur gonna beast the interview

[honest zodiac]

So it’s not n^2?

[sinful locust]

the confidence helped like crazy on the sys design interview

esp cause i only prepped for a week without any mocks

[honest zodiac]

Wait are you talking about longest subsequence

[honest zodiac]

Sys design interviews are so dope compared to lc

[sinful locust]

they are pretty fun

[jaunty cove]

you can do longest common subsequence in nlogn

[sinful locust]

like youre not gonna get perfect but its fun thinking through tradeoffs

[jaunty cove]

and a longest common subsequence between S and reversed S is the longest palindromic subsequence

idk how to do LCS nlogn

idk why binary search works

[honest zodiac]

Oh I was thinking about longest palindromic subsequence

[jaunty cove]

Yes

thats what im saying

you can use the same algorithm

[honest zodiac]

Oh wtf

That’s a slick trick lmao

[jaunty cove]

⏫

Yea i did the O(n^2) LCS and timed out

[honest zodiac]

I’ll try that solution

I usually only draw up the DP table

Typical n^2 solution

I think it’s pretty easy to prepare for a syd interview

[sinful locust]

yea

he had like 5 rounds

@sinful locust whats pay

they raised it right

[honest zodiac]

You just gotta know what talking points to hit and what trade offs to bring up

[sinful locust]

yea

always talk load balancers, cache strategies, partitioning, replication

[honest zodiac]

And how to reduce latency

[sinful locust]

and then the rest is just practice

[honest zodiac]

Yeah

[sinful locust]

and add ons

[sinful locust]

gene replication?

[sinful locust]

yeah a bit

like my dude told me we could add a syncrhonized lease for data across nodes

like

i didnt know that lol

[honest zodiac]

There’s always load balancing and caching, like many syd interviews have basically the same solution

[sinful locust]

^^

literally always have multiple servers

[honest zodiac]

Design Netflix, twitter, stripe etc

[sinful locust]

segregate read and write servers

have some LB

or a queue

SQL vs NoSQL

cache invalidation is big

and eviction

sharding / partitioning

leader - follower, quorum, peer to peer replicaiton

STOP

[honest zodiac]

Also CDN usage when your app is global

[sinful locust]

i preetty much said all the stuff you absolutely need to bring up

yeah

CDN iscraccked

some are tricky tho

like the back of the envelope calculkations - i did none of that

that needs intuition and practice

[honest zodiac]

Then the typical redis cache and zookeper solution

[sinful locust]

theres also hadoop

[honest zodiac]

Idk I find lc much more limiting and just harder to learn overall

[sinful locust]

ong

i think i pickced up sys design basics very fast

details are juste practice from now

and integrating networking makes it even more fun

TCP vs UDP, CDN, packet switching vs circuit, etc

[honest zodiac]

Yeah fr like I had my first ever sys design interview yesterday and it was like I built the app myself lol I was so prepared and confident compared to lc

[sinful locust]

ong bro

[honest zodiac]

I just watched hella YouTube and wrote notes

That’s all

[sinful locust]

like my interviewer asked me some tough follow ups and i wasnt 100% right but i was happy

[honest zodiac]

Yeah me too

[sinful locust]

like holy shit

for 1 wk of practice

learning curve so much better for sys design

screw LC

done with that shit

[honest zodiac]

And yeah I don’t really like that you don’t know if you got it or nah but I know for a fact I knew the content better than LC

And I had fun doing it

[sinful locust]

right

the way LC is asked is so gamey

[honest zodiac]

And the interviews seemed impressed so fingers crossed

[sinful locust]

either know it or ur screwed

[honest zodiac]

^

[sinful locust]

gl man

[jaunty cove]

isnt that system design too

[sinful locust]

no?

[jaunty cove]

how can i come up with answer to system design without studying it

[sinful locust]

sys design if u know basics you can do a lot

[jaunty cove]

idk wtf a load balancer is

but i can come up with algorithm

[sinful locust]

that goes for anything if ure gonna phrase it like that

[honest zodiac]

I’m a strong believer that you can’t come up with lc solution on the spot unless you’ve seen the question or very similar before

[sinful locust]

^

thats the point

[honest zodiac]

Nah HubSpot

[sinful locust]

i can learn what a LB is

[jaunty cove]

ig

[sinful locust]

and then find a solution to design netflix

and then be able to infer "design url shortener"

the patterns are clear and its easy to pick up

but perfecting the details and stuff is harder

[jaunty cove]

a lot of tougher LC problems u can come up with clever solutions to reduce time complexity without seeing the pattern necessarily

but its harder

[honest zodiac]

Yeah Systems design have very clear patterns and you can lick up the basics and just use them

I can come up with any social media app in an interview rn

[sinful locust]

trueee

design phub

[hardy patrol]

b75 gotta chill with all these dp q's

[wooden shard]

How many u done so far

[hardy patrol]

like 51

/75

[honest zodiac]

Fair enough

Maybe it’s a me thing

I’m not good at LC lol

It’s just the facts for me like my brain is slow, sometimes I need to think for a min to even get LC easy, it’s bc of the pressure

[sinful locust]

it goes for diff categories for me tho

[honest zodiac]

And I understand the concepts pretty well

[sinful locust]

like i can infer graphs / trees pretty well

but array problems not as much

[hardy patrol]

https://leetcode.com/problems/partition-equal-subset-sum/ like these arent that bad when you figure out the base case but organically coming up with it is rough

[jaunty cove]

justreduce every problem to a decision tree and then use a graph algorithm and maybe memoization to solve it

[honest zodiac]

Like I really don’t understand DP for shit, but now I’ve memorized how to draw that DP table for strings and I always get it right

If I saw it fresh in an interview im getting 0

[honest zodiac]

Leetcode medium/ hard array qs are ridiculous

[clever grail]

array feels more ad hoc

[jaunty cove]

array isnt a problem solving pattern its a data structure thats why

[hardy patrol]

they always start off like dp = [False] * (len(s)+1) and only has like 1 or 2 for loops and 15 lines of code total

[jaunty cove]

like most tree or matrix questions are trivial bfs dfs

but the space of graph problems is way harder

in general

[hardy patrol]

which one did you read

[jaunty cove]

like critical connections in a network

[hardy patrol]

unfortunate name

[jaunty cove]

hard to figure out an algorithm to find bridges

[hardy patrol]

ill check it out thanks

[jaunty cove]

skiena?

[honest zodiac]

Woah

I Also used to have an issue with tree problems but I found many of the solutions to be pretty similar

Still weird tho

[hardy patrol]

this is a lot to ask for but as long as i dont get dp or backtracking ill be fine

stuff like coin change or word break are fine though

[jaunty cove]

have u done n queens and sudoku questions?

after i did those i understood backtracking rly well

[honest zodiac]

Backtracking lmaooo

[wooden shard]

This is the way

[jaunty cove]

ig there are like

[honest zodiac]

Coin change is an interesting one

[jaunty cove]

combination sum 2 which is weird

[honest zodiac]

How do you solve combination sum again

[jaunty cove]

backtracking

[hardy patrol]

havent done sodoku yet im def getting better at it the more exposed i am

[honest zodiac]

No like the actual trick in the solution

[jaunty cove]

yea

[wooden shard]

Backtracking

Lmao

[jaunty cove]

you need

trim decision tree

e.g. not adding elements to the left of the last element you added

[wooden shard]

Reduce the search space

[hardy patrol]

ngl combo sum was so fucking cool when i saw the sol

never would have thought to do that

backtracking/recursion in general is just wacky

[honest zodiac]

This is what I say about most lc questions lmao

Like I really wouldn’t have come up w that shit in an interview

[plucky tusk]

How long does Palantir take to get back after Karat? I took in on Tuesday solved 3/3 and I hear nothing yet

[hardy patrol]

after doing enough questions i feel like the barebones blueprints on how to solve future lcs starts to manifest

like it took me 10 graph questions to realize its literally just bfs/dfs

[coarse vigil]

Ummm solve trap water

Rn

[hardy patrol]

and with dfs/bfs its the same setup but different params

or annoying questions that ask for permutations or subsets those are dp

[hardy patrol]

💀

[low vale]

trap water becomes doable once someone tells you what type of problem it is

[coarse vigil]

True

[low vale]

the intuition for it is pretty easy to understand once you know what to look for

[spark hearth]

@sinful locust

[sinful locust]

what

[obsidian vigil]

Not if u say now it’s time to optimize

[low vale]

a lot of places emphasize they want a working solution first

so if brute force is fast, do that before going to the rest of the code

[spark hearth]

correctness over efficiency

@jaunty cove cmere

squrae up

oa?

[low vale]

uber?

[spark hearth]

what company

ur out

ur done

was the brute force easy?

some brute forces take like 5 min

did u discuss optimizations?

was it correct

[jaunty cove]

it was med hard

[spark hearth]

did it make lets say an O(n^2) solution to O(n)

wtf

oh

[static spindle]

lmfao i was boutta say

lmfao i was boutta say

there's a server of people to ask i think

like a server for quants

oh

never been

That sucks

I wonder if id lose an internship offer if someone showed potential employee rhe amount of dumb shit i say here
