[jaunty cove]

its too late now

for me

should i just delete wverything

[hardy patrol]

are you saying your online anonymity is already breached

colin davis

do what woaahh does and delete your shit after 30 mins

[coarse vigil]

His name is COLON DAVISON

[hardy patrol]

considering doing it myself

[sharp moat]

yo anyone know what the akuna cpp quant dev phone interview is like

[jaunty cove]

Yeah but i have like thousands of messages of me saying random crap

[hardy patrol]

40% lc coping 40% shitposting 10% company schizoposting and 10% "we go jim" in #fitness

arurf?

cap

let me check

bro please why did it have to come back now

i still need to grind

why he eepy 💀

[low vale]

@sinful locust

[sinful locust]

stop

[low vale]

why'd you ping me

if they're set to private, no

[white urchin]

If the other person set their thing to private, then you can't see

even if you are premium user

so as long as you are private user, doesn't matter what the other person is on, prem or not

[low vale]

it would be bad if they let that happen

i would like my murder victims to not know I'm stalking them

[white urchin]

you can't unless they visit your proifle

[white urchin]

you stalk them through linkedin?

you can;'t

max you can do is see if it says something like school or company

if they're not set to private, then you can see

if they are set to private, then gg

for job applications, sometimes you can see who the recruiter is

for inMail privileges

many more for recruiters and stuff

[low vale]

google

or zon

i look forward to meeting you

🙂

[pallid finch]

Anyone know if IMC is done hiring?

congrats on Jane Street

[wide socket]

congrats on Citadel

[violet kelp]

Congrats on Renaissance Tech

[wicked bison]

[violet kelp]

I thought someone said Lyft was done hiring?

Might be remembering wrong tho

[sinful locust]

wtf

thats def cap bro

no company is "done" hiring already

[wicked bison]

i applied early because i was in their pipeline

[wide socket]

why

o

[wicked bison]

[zealous grotto]

is that why their stock tanked today

[wooden shard]

fr

are u fr

@safe elbow

[north portal]

yo

is a 71% enough to get deliotte next step?

[near cairn]

anyone know which companies are open to sponsoring canadian students?

[sinful locust]

wtf

only 100 apps??

i doubt that for some reason

a lot

sushi stop ur an ai

AIs cant apply to companies

[jaunty cove]

i applied to quant analyst for drw and got shat on by the OA

do research and get paid for it

As a qr!!

[wide socket]

Yo

anyone got any bloomberg refs

im in ML rn

its interesting

I wish my prof taught it better tho

[jaunty cove]

five rings offer

💀

[wooden shard]

they increased pay right?

for five rings

[low vale]

man i didn't want to get into ml because so many people want to go into ml and i was like nah, i don't want to follow the crowd

but now that I'm taking more math and looked at some papers, ml is so fucking cool maaaaan

why wasn't i studying this earlier

😭

[wide socket]

it is cool

if taught right

or else its a living nightmare

[low vale]

to be fair that is everything

[wide socket]

Im learning in my ML class rn

and sometimes I be hella lost, usually have to catch up

I might take NLP next

[low vale]

A grad student friend of mine is taking a course called bayesian ml

and it's supposed to be really difficult

very math heavy

[pallid finch]

what specifically in ML are you interested in?

[jaunty cove]

i went from:
what is ml? to
ml is just stats 😦 to
stats is cool 🙂 to
ml is just stats

[wide socket]

I just like math tbh and combined with CS, I can go into higher algo stuff

[low vale]

the iq bell-curve lol

[wide socket]

I like all the models that ML uses and software, its pretty cool of how some of these applications work in real life

[low vale]

i like math when it has letters and numbers, not when it has words

[wide socket]

this is true

[low vale]

proofs suck

well, they don't suck, im just bad at em

[jaunty cove]

Yea exactly that

[low vale]

you can be paid in mental stimulation 🙃

im fine with this

i don't like this type of proof

one sec

discrete math notation i assume

[spark hearth]

these are the easy proofs lol

propositional logic

[low vale]

because i always fucking forget something

even when i know the answer

[spark hearth]

try more mathy proofs

[low vale]

😭

depends on position

i am not smart enough to be pure math

well, thats probably not true but I never got into competitive math in hs and i felt that college is a bit too late

favorite math topic?

we don't go to your school what is math 55

discrete?

you took abstract algebra your first year?

goddamn

wait it's a freshman course

is your clas for freshman

🤯

we only take calc freshman year

man its so sad my school has so many cool math classes

but like

they're all locked behind other classes

i wanted to take this class called chaos theory so bad

but i took the wrong version of linear algebra

so i also have to take calc 3 to get in

nyu trash uni

get rid of prereqs

[spark hearth]

im taking data science, compilers, networks, calc 3, and stat

[low vale]

wait kyoyo aren't you a freshamn?

[spark hearth]

yeah but im ahead

[low vale]

just aime, nothign crazy

[spark hearth]

i took college classes in hs

[wooden shard]

Wait ur only a freshman?

[spark hearth]

yea

[wooden shard]

Cracked af

At amazon already

[low vale]

oh really, i thought all the math competitions this year were hard to get into

[spark hearth]

logic ez

cuz ur not logical

[low vale]

wait for compilers did you not have prereqs?

or did you go to a school that doesn't enforce

[spark hearth]

it does, but u can get it waived

[low vale]

oh top 2%?

I thought it was way smaller

[static spindle]

i thought it was more xd

[low vale]

isn't aime the step before imo quals?

[static spindle]

should I put aime on my resume?

[low vale]

or is there another

oh i forgot usamo was a thing

still very impressive to get into aime tho i think

[static spindle]

mr quant hire me pls 😔

[jaunty cove]

top 2% of comp math people or in general

[static spindle]

those are way harder than AIME, right?

[low vale]

putname top 500 is like 3 questions right?

[jaunty cove]

Getting 1 point is hard lol

Im going to do the putnam this year

[static spindle]

hmmm

[low vale]

the only putnam question i could do lmaoooo

i didn't take it, but i saw the test because people talked about the first question

and i was like

wait this is a leetcode question

[jaunty cove]

Knight moves or something

[low vale]

nt?

number theory?

[jaunty cove]

Right

A grasshopper

I was looking at the questions a week ago

[low vale]

mfw competitive math is just leetcode

[jaunty cove]

Lol

There are a lot of dp style problems in the green book

[sinful locust]

my friend is number 60

no

IIT

yes yes

[jaunty cove]

Like starting from the base case and defining a recurrence relation isnt just dynamic programming

Induction op

[low vale]

induction

[left grove]

what does a man gotta do to actually get a company to respond back to them after applying

[wooden shard]

f

fr

[low vale]

what does this mean?

[still yacht]

is there such thing as a non-target ivy

[low vale]

oh

[jaunty cove]

What does it mean to collapse dp tbale

[low vale]

yeah that makes a lot of sense

i see how it works

[jaunty cove]

The coolest example of that imo is the best time to buy and sell stock one

some hard variant

[low vale]

wait shd are you also a quant like woooah?

ur a quant swe no?

or are you something different at cit

no i was talking about woaaah

research is very based

founder of duolingo was a cs researcher

so was founders of google

and a bunch of other people

or are you planning on staying in academia permanently?

my algorithms class has taught me that I don't have the patience for grad level math or algorithms

crushed grad school dreams

well if im struggling with algos, won't i similarly struggle with grad math?

because algos is heavily proof-based

its okay i won't do too much of that hopefully

more interested in systems part of cs than the super mathy parts

good to know that if i ever do grad cs i won't immediately get bodied

[pallid finch]

how long does it usually take to get an OA? When can I assume im rejected?

[jaunty cove]

3

[pallid finch]

3 days? wtf

[hardy patrol]

minutes

[sinful locust]

seconds

[jaunty cove]

if a recruiter doesn’t schedule your phone in 2 minutes your ngmi

It was in this position that misha broke down crying

[pallid finch]

btw did anyone solve this question in the codesignal gca: Find all pairs of 2D co-ordinates s.t. |x1 - x2| <= 2 and |y1 - y2| <= 2

[astral dew]

Yeah. Horses name was Saturday

[pallid finch]

thanks

[jaunty cove]

Why x and y

are there two arrays

[pallid finch]

sort by distance to origin?

[jaunty cove]

Infinitely many

Lol

Yeah sort if its an array of coordinates

[pallid finch]

i havent been grinding leetcode much. just solved the practice test in codesignal and got 826

messed upthe actual one lol

[jaunty cove]

that question is harder than the ones ive seen

I think

it reminds me of russian nesting dolls

are the coordinates integers?

then its way easier

[pallid finch]

yeah i think so

dont remember exactly

[jaunty cove]

your just looking in a square then

and the possibilities are 24 points

Or is the 2 a variable like some k

[pallid finch]

its not a variable

[sinful locust]

Any Amazon Interns here?

[jaunty cove]

The you can do a hashset of the points and do it in 24 checks per element

which is a lot ig but still linear

[pallid finch]

yeah i think that would work.

[jaunty cove]

two sum moment

[pallid finch]

makes sense, thanks

[restive meadow]

how is asana compare to databricks, plaid?

[honest forum]

Anyone who got OA for Google Zurich?

[sinful locust]

The third also full

[white swallow]

Wait Asana is full? I just got the invite for phone 😭

[half plinth]

issa joke

[sinful locust]

Man’s tryna flex rn

[white swallow]

My sleep deprived self can’t detect jokes over text alright

[spark hearth]

sleep

[sharp moat]

anyone know what akuna quant dev c++ phone is like

[quaint bolt]

lc + c++ trivia

[wooden shard]

They ask lc hard?

[quaint bolt]

They can

[tribal lion]

[wooden shard]

They ask behavioral?

[quaint bolt]

You’ll find out during the interview

[static spindle]

No behavioral in the OA lol. But yes on mine 2/3 were lc hards

[quaint bolt]

OA? what's that

[sharp moat]

did they ask u lc during phone?

[quaint bolt]

yes

not really lc, more ood

[sharp moat]

o ok

thx

[violet kelp]

Anyone hear back from PayPal after the OA?

[leaden seal]

Did anyone get a system design question at Microsoft's finals? (Internship undergraduate)

[spark hearth]

💀

[quaint bolt]

rip

[lunar dragon]

I ain't ever seen a company say this in my life

[hallow crow]

lol i saw this too

got confused

[lunar dragon]

thank god I'm not the only one lol

anyways, I gotta a question. I graduate Spring 2025 but ik they want latest Summer 2024. Is it ok if I edit my resume to put my expected grad date to be summer 2024?

netflix

[elfin adder]

Ive been doing this on accident

[lunar dragon]

lol

[near swallow]

I’ve seen messages like that for internships targeted at fresh/soph but never a normal intern posting

Netflix has been on a pretty public mission/crusade since last year to diversify their entry level engineers IIRC, make of that what you will. Still think that bullet point is weird lol

[quaint bolt]

Are 5 prior internships considered significant relevant work exp

[lunar dragon]

so like I should say I'm non binary for example, lol

[near swallow]

No cuz i dont think it’s legal to even look at that info for individual apps it’s just aggregate data

So that after a hiring season they can say look we hires 2% of certain demographic

[lunar dragon]

lol

[quaint bolt]

[violet kelp]

You got that for your final?

Or are you asking if that’s possible?

[quaint bolt]

[low vale]

why has asana not given me oa

i applied forever ago

😠

when did you apply?

same

[leaden seal]

I am asking if it's possible

I passed the OA and I'm currently at the behavioural

finals will come at least a month from now

[quaint bolt]

Bro a recruiter reached out to me to expedite me and then hasn’t gotten back to me

Get in line

[violet kelp]

You got an OA for Microsoft?

[half sinew]

my interviewer was like "im going to ask you two questions in this 45 minutes" and the first question was typical leetcode, the second question was sys design for a popular app... but they straight up didnt ask me the sys design question bc he kept asking follow up questions about the leetcode until we ran out of time. it was a leetcode easy so idk what he was doing (theres not that much complexity to it) so maybe i already proved to be a nonideal candidate and he was stalling out the clock

[violet kelp]

It was just phone and then finals for me

[low vale]

at least a recruiter reached out to you

😭

[leaden seal]

I applied in EU, I'm from Greece. 4 days after I applied I received OA

[leaden seal]

Oh I see so it is possible

Thanks for the feedback mate

[violet kelp]

Ah I see it might be different by regions then

[leaden seal]

Probably yeah 😄 I'll practice just to be sure

may I ask about the leetcode question

which one was it?

imagine

[quaint bolt]

Yeah that’s prolly what happened lmao

Bc interns were told they had like a full day of interviews

Like 4-5 or something

[hardy patrol]

everyone ik got pinterest phone like hours after submitting oa i think this a wrap

[lunar dragon]

ok so I have this bullet point on my resume where I put in some general number like "1/10th" to mention how effective my app is. But tbh idk even statistics to back it up, I kinda just looked over the internet to compare doing some task without my app and just estimated with this number. Would that bad to leave on my resume tho?

[violet kelp]

For Microsoft???

Wtf it’s only 2 right?😭

[quaint bolt]

Ofc its only 2

What made you think it was 4-5

[tulip aspen]

anyone get google swe OA?

[low vale]

based

i've decided not to study for google final

too much other stuff to study for

i didn't pass asana resume screen

i want to work at google at some point in the future

lowkey don't wanna work at google until like mid-senior level swe

or, get into goog ng and then do something else with my time

because i heard that some teams have a really bad coasting culture

and i don't want that this early

google sounds good so i can slap it on a trash startup and pitch it to dumb investors

coasting forever would seem like the dream, but i need something else to occupy my time

and gym + talking to people + video games every day doesn't seem like the move

programming is unironically one of my hobbies 😭

i used to write a lot but i sort of stopped in college, maybe i could pick that back up?

i dunno

i agree

[jaunty cove]

LinkedIn will tell you I work at Google

But I didn't
• Join as an intern or new grad
• Graduate during a pandemic
• Apply during a hiring freeze

I needed multiple tries
I needed prior experience
I needed a booming economy

LinkedIn can't show you the circumstances people had to be where they are today.
It's harder now than ever to find that next opportunity.

first u need the interview

[pale cairn]

anyone do Jpmorgan Chase OA ?

[coarse vigil]

Sheeesh

[pale cairn]

bet ty, better than doordash 2 lc hard at least

[stoic latch]

Here I am not even getting the amazon OA,

no

[uneven sand]

amogus

[tulip aspen]

this is a hard OA

yeah no way im solving that

[hardy patrol]

[wide socket]

yea but atleast their proctored

[sinful locust]

[wide socket]

smh

hackerranks and amazon OA isn't like proctored smh

[sinful locust]

bro left meta to work at r2c

[wide socket]

yea but many people don't use their knowledge, they use others

exactly

[jaunty cove]

im realizing now

[wide socket]

and then they memorize top 20 questions

and get in amazon

lmao

[sinful locust]

thats why i did

[wide socket]

this is when the algorithm trains too close to the sample set so in a real scenario, it fails

[sinful locust]

they already increased it

bro only one company is giving me any chance

how

they reject me monday

then i'll rage quit

[hardy patrol]

back to grinding dp

i pray for plague and pestilence upon the inventors of dynamic programming

[true glade]

mit ocw watchers......

salat do you want the other dp lecture notes

kk i will send later since im on phone rn

[hardy patrol]

https://leetcode.com/problems/partition-equal-subset-sum/ do you even have to use dp cant you find the sum of all numbers, sort the list, then split when you find half the total

fuck it let me try the shortcut first

[true glade]

no

Wdym by split when you find half the total

[near swallow]

Hey have u considered therapy

After the trauma of this experience

[true glade]

how would you know what numbers to take

for example 1 2 2 2 3 8

[obsidian vigil]

Would binary search work? add up each half if one greater than the other move the middle number and try again?

[hardy patrol]

in the example nums = [1,5,11,5] you need to find two subsets that equal each other, so for this list each subset need to equal 11 (half the total of the whole list) so im figuring i can sort the list into [1,5,5,11], find the total value, then sliding window approach across each value until its equal half the total (11) then split the string. so [1,5,5] == total // 2 and 11 == total // 2

[sinful locust]

https://tenor.com/view/new-girl-max-greenfield-winston-schmidt-rejoice-in-song-gif-15501737

oh thats a good point fuck me

[spark hearth]

whats res?

ahh ty for explanation

[hardy patrol]

didnt apply to asana i just noticed them from #2023_summer_intern_process but they closed apps already

💀

do they pay bags

thats true

np complete?

[void flame]

oh word?

[hardy patrol]

n3 youre like the new jersey devil with lc type questions what makes them so fun for you

i thought you did them because theyre interesting or thought provoking like jigsaw puzzles lmao

[frigid gate]

who ?

[hardy patrol]

whole time i was trying to gaslight myself into thinking lc is fun so i can stay motivated meanwhile you guys just grind out of jaded discipline

[frigid gate]

oh sorry u are talking with n3

wait is this statistic ?

oh well

[near swallow]

Just submit an app and get past the screen and u too can get one

[void flame]

lol i have a girlfriend

[near swallow]

be overemployed

[hardy patrol]

right but before you became the rain man of leetcode you had to practice a shit ton right

my point is that if you grind this much codeforces/lc i assumed you genuinely find it interesting/fun or you're just extremely perseverant if you dont

[sinful locust]

$65/hr lower tier?

[frigid gate]

wos

chad

[sinful locust]

how do i get asana to not ghost

meta?

[hardy patrol]

oh right now i remember

i did check out asana but i saw how hard the oa was

so i didnt apply

[uneven sand]

asana gives 65/hr but no housing stipend

housing is basically baked into the 65/hr

[sinful locust]

what even does asana do

[earnest hatch]

Capital One should be S Tier, that's a whack list

[hardy patrol]

is it

[sinful locust]

no security intern automatically C tier or lower

[hardy patrol]

am i confusing akuna and asana

[hardy patrol]

how do people make these tier lists like what metrics are you using

wlb tc prestige

[sinful locust]

no kernel dev -> C tier at best
no security intern -> C tier at best

how

[earnest hatch]

Just disregard any lists, they're all a meme

[sinful locust]

better how

wlb

interesting work

no kernel dev -> C tier at best
no security intern -> C tier at best

[gray zodiac]

[sinful locust]

never heard anything from pinterest

[zealous grotto]

🥲

[hardy patrol]

if they dont send phone this coming week then its a wash

[sinful locust]

im only in process for 2 companies

[earnest hatch]

they took a year to resume reject me last summer, I wouldn't hold my breath

Resume reject, no OA

[zealous grotto]

bruh they should update their auto email

[sinful locust]

https://www.google.com/search?q=tierlist+maker+software engineer company

[hardy patrol]

im only in the interview loop for pinch rest but if amazons not done hiring this wave then ill be in the bag for that

cant believe i had a typo on my rezzie the whole time

death sentence

nah

i submitted oa monday so if they dont get back to me this week then L

[golden tusk]

Doordash OA is tough lol

[sinful locust]

how do i get OA

[half plinth]

how much did you get

[sinful locust]

how do i get google project zero internship

[half plinth]

is it rng?

[golden tusk]

Like 5/13 for q2, 0 for q1

Did it for fun

[half plinth]

i guess i got good rng then lmao

[visual knot]

[sinful locust]

how long btwn phone and final for atlkassian

[half plinth]

[sinful locust]

no

only company with appsec intern that hasnt ghosted me

[earnest hatch]

No, I didn't care about them

[deep marsh]

Undergrads really hate studying huh

Grad curve average is 72
Undergrads are at 39

mfw separate curves for undergrad and grads

can't confirm
im grad student
Am not cracked

jeez

ong

Discord videos are really something else

[near swallow]

Yes

U might learn more at amazon technically but who cares about growth

[static spindle]

what is n3 rating

[vital robin]

What’s the process for Flexport after OA?

[half plinth]

why so

[near swallow]

Friends like working there. Chill culture + good wlb and benefits like infinite PTO, pretty good technical hiring bar imo

But tbh the learning will almost surely be better at amazon but like at end of day u decide how much u learn and what quality u bring to work

Being on a team with good mentors is where the learning happens

Amazon mid level hire pays so well that maybe it’s best to just go there later

[jaunty cove]

top 100

usa

idk rating

[static spindle]

my 2 freshman icpc teammates last year were top 100

[jaunty cove]

damn

i wish i knew how to parse input in C++ so i could do codeforces

[covert sundial]

what? top 100 on codeforces?

[static spindle]

US

[jaunty cove]

this ksit guy is pretty good i think

[static spindle]

top 100 worldwide is crazy high

[covert sundial]

yeah top 100 worldwide is IOI gold ++ level

[static spindle]

yup

top 100 US is like

purple

[covert sundial]

top 100 US is still impressive yeah

[static spindle]

yeah purple is pretty hard to get

[jaunty cove]

colin galen how to master the coding interview

[covert sundial]

lol no i'm like purple/orange

[static spindle]

damn he is crazy good

there is no 2013 US

closest thing is this

n3 face reveal?

[covert sundial]

if you don't do codeforces contests for ~1 year, your account falls off the radar

and the proportion of inactive cf accounts to cf accounts is quite large

[static spindle]

oh dang, I did not know that

[jaunty cove]

n3 face reveal already happened

on accident

[static spindle]

yeah tbh 80%+ is probably inactive

[static spindle]

n3 face reveal?

[quaint bolt]

bah’s back

we went to pick apples

[jaunty cove]

[covert sundial]

you should consider shorting the market

• not financial advice :D

maybe, maybe not 🤔

[hardy patrol]

what do you do with your free time excluding cf/lc n3

n3 lifts??

[jaunty cove]

thanks for reminding me

[hardy patrol]

lol

[static spindle]

me too if i were a math major

[quaint bolt]

charlie what’s your bench

[hardy patrol]

endgame goal is to be the highest tier bb competitor at faang

235

[quaint bolt]

pog

[scenic sluice]

nice

[quaint bolt]

I’m recovering from a dislocated shoulder so can’t lift anymore

[hardy patrol]

wagons 3 plate bench arc

[static spindle]

yeah haha me too

[scenic sluice]

having a beer while working just makes me too sleepy lol

charlie do u deadlift

[hardy patrol]

which big tech company has the most lifters

[quaint bolt]

one of the most chad alumni’s I know used to be active in this server last year

stable long term gf, bench pr 315, works at jane st

[hardy patrol]

yes i dl ill be real i havent maxed out in a long time since john meadows programs is all volume

[hardy patrol]

the dream

[scenic sluice]

absolute SIGMA wtf

[hardy patrol]

how old are they so i can measure my progress against theirs

[scenic sluice]

LOL toxic

[hardy patrol]

how

[scenic sluice]

comparing your progress to others

[quaint bolt]

Like 22 at the time?

[scenic sluice]

all you can do is the best you can do

[quaint bolt]

Or 23 idr

[hardy patrol]

i mean why do you think its important for people to mention if theyre natty or not when posting pics comparing progress is just how it is

[quaint bolt]

true but also stable long term gf bc he’d be moving around every 4 months bc of coop and I know how tough long distance can be

[jaunty cove]

for bragging purposes

right

[hardy patrol]

3 plate bench is wacky

[jaunty cove]

i would work at jane street but i dont want to

[scenic sluice]

when someone else's settle is ur dream

[hardy patrol]

it really is comparative like i have an offer that im trying my best to renege but at least having one is probably someones dream in r/csmajors

[scenic sluice]

✋

[hardy patrol]

felt

[sinful locust]

idk it could be c/c++ engineering
one of the things they do is gov contracts/developing exploits for nsa

[fair sand]

i see

[jaunty cove]

are the ppl on csmajors people who playe too much league of legends

i get that vibe from the people on tehre

[sinful locust]

never played

[hardy patrol]

r/csmajors is like the pokemon evolution of r/a2c

final evolution is either cscareerquestions or antiwork

[sinful locust]

going from college app obsession -> internship obsession

[jaunty cove]

yea

[sinful locust]

always competing

[jaunty cove]

then r/personal_finance and r/relationship_advice

[sinful locust]

nah blind for that

[hardy patrol]

fax

blind is like legit end game

[jaunty cove]

and then r/depression and r/drugs

🙂

[sinful locust]

nah

[hardy patrol]

ok thats starting to sound like 📽️

[sinful locust]

once i get into a top CS college im chilling ->
once i get a FAANG swe internship im chilling ->
once i get a security internship im chilling

[hardy patrol]

i was talking about it before about how i would be done grinding once i got faang but i thought about what would happen if i placed top 5 in mens physique and realize id still continue lifting

[jaunty cove]

copium levels rising

leetcode 737 swim in rising copium

[quaint bolt]

[sinful locust]

leetcode -1 don't

[hardy patrol]

real

[sinful locust]

is my endgame becoming independent security researcher?

complete freedom

[hardy patrol]

grinding isnt that big of a deal as long as it isnt your identity or only personality trait

[sinful locust]

should i become twitch streamer

im waiting until i graduate

[jaunty cove]

twitch streamer exit

[sinful locust]

im going to stream kernel 0day

[quaint bolt]

What about me

[sinful locust]

[spark hearth]

is this ocaml?

[jaunty cove]

no

ocaml has exhaustive pattern matching

[sinful locust]

https://tenor.com/view/seriously-gif-23861497

[jaunty cove]

he forgot to include "once i get the promotion im chilling"

[spark hearth]

what is ocaml?

[hardy patrol]

someone gotta ctrl f how many times juda posted this exact picture of google offices

[sinful locust]

a general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language which extends the Caml dialect of ML with object-oriented features.

once i reach selfemployed im chillin

[hardy patrol]

500k tc and im chilling

[jaunty cove]

If only i could be young again so i could chill

[sinful locust]

OCaml features a static type system, type inference, parametric polymorphism, tail recursion, pattern matching, first class lexical closures, functors (parametric modules), exception handling, and incremental generational automatic garbage collection.

OCaml is notable for extending ML-style type inference to an object system in a general-purpose language. This permits structural subtyping, where object types are compatible if their method signatures are compatible, regardless of their declared inheritance (an unusual feature in statically typed languages).

[jaunty cove]

good point

[hardy patrol]

i thought like 90% of this channel is under 25

[jaunty cove]

sometimes i realize im only stressed out because i told myself i need to do better

[sinful locust]

life plan
security intern
security eng appsec or vuln research
senior security eng
google project zero
independent security researcher/FOSS contributer

TC keep increasing

[low vale]

project zero is interesting

[spark hearth]

im thinking of taking summer 2023 off to have fun. thoughts?

[low vale]

don't most researchers there have a phd?

[low vale]

nothing wrong with it, if you feel like you want a summer off

[spark hearth]

i will be graduating soon tho

[sinful locust]

if i can find 0days reliably i'll just be selfemployed over the summer

[sinful locust]

not that kind of research

[low vale]

wait i thought project zero was just a team of cyber sec phds lol

oops

[acoustic belfry]

https://h4ck1ng.google

[jaunty cove]

hacking like the matrix

[sinful locust]

some of them have grad degrees
but its google's elite hacker group
it says on their site they take interns but ive only seen 1 person ever mention interning there online

[sinful locust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7N4EC20-cM&list=PL590L5WQmH8dsxxz7ooJAgmijwOz0lh2H&index=3

[acoustic belfry]

you should finish all the challenges

[sinful locust]

i dont have time rn lol

google CTF is waay better lol

[jaunty cove]

maybe i should just do competitive civ 5

[sinful locust]

im writing a fuzzer for kCTF

[low vale]

maybe i should drop out

[sinful locust]

same

so i can have time to CTF

[jaunty cove]

should have been a comm major and be a recruiter

and just partied throughout college

[sinful locust]

ive seen math major recruiters

[fathom hazel]

oh so thats the major studied by recruiters

[jaunty cove]

its the major studied by people who are good at being social but dont know what they want to do

[sinful locust]

or sociology or lingustics or philosophy

[low vale]

i know the snowball is rolling and now that i got my first really big internship there's better things to come, but sometimes i don't wanna do anything yk?

[hardy patrol]

[low vale]

Soph

thinking i might grad next year though, i really dislike college

[sinful locust]

why is hacking so hard :PepeHands:

yall do the google foobar challenge

im getting same vibes

[covert sundial]

if you think it would be beneficial, go for it!

[devout jewel]

one day

[sinful locust]

is goog even going to open security internships this year

releasing a new CTF and documentary on hacking to not even hire hackers this year

[earnest hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/geohot-george-hotz-rap-gif-26031694

[sinful locust]

imma be next gamozo/geohotz hacking twitch streamer

you can never be too good

bruh this interviewer that rejected me got into project zero

should i dm him and ask if they are taking interns?

[sinful locust]

i think i need more CVEs first

what do you get if you do the CTF

just name in hall of fame

[low vale]

i think their sec internships might be related to their swe ones

[sinful locust]

thats pretty lame

[low vale]

because in the project matching form

you have the ability to say you want to work with the Sec or SRE teams

which are generally non swe

[sinful locust]

they're pretty much the same lol

[spark hearth]

why do u want security internshi

do netflix

[low vale]

yeah ik but at other companies they have different roles

liek sec intern, sre intern, swe intern

[sinful locust]

swe sre and sec the only difference between these is the software you are developing does different things

[low vale]

i think goog wraps them all up

[sinful locust]

no i interviewed for security intern at google in spring 2021

they definitely have separate roles as well
you can end up sec from swe also though

is it fine to bcc recruiters lol cause they can see bcc but do they care?

[ashen folio]

what is the best way to mass apply to companies?

[sinful locust]

who? me?

[sinful locust]

email

[ashen folio]

probably a stupid question lmao but i'm trying to apply to as many companies as possible obviously and want to know the most efficient way

[jaunty cove]

simplify

[ashen folio]

thank you !

[jaunty cove]

dev ops

😮

[sinful locust]

bruh r2c is too prestigious

for no reason

[wooden shard]

when stripe oa

[sinful locust]

70% of people there CMU or MIT grad students

[jaunty cove]

ig you have to be educated to go into security unlike us code monkeys

[sinful locust]

depends security is very very broad

idk someone said they got full stack internship and they went to drexel
that was for web dev tho

i think program analysis they might be stricter since more theoretical/researchy?

https://r2c.dev/blog/2022/r2c-internship-vivek/

but if i intern i def don't want to be writing python or doing any web dev

do i have to work at raytheon for 4 years to get into project zero??

tier list:
project zero > nuro > nvidia kernel sec team > r2c program analysis > apple kernel sec team > microsoft kernel sec team > appsec intern > everything else

yes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My_13FXODdU

what? no one else does vuln research at large scale

(says guy who always rejects raytheon)

just know how to exploit buffer overflow

on modern OS

just put CTF on there and you got phone

thats all their security branch does: they do CTF all day then sell findings to NSA

[earnest hatch]

Defense contractors are harder to pass resume screen than FAANG (for me)

[sinful locust]

nah you just dont know the security buzzwords for ATS

[jaunty cove]

Wdym

[earnest hatch]

Talking about SWE

I never applied to defense security

[jaunty cove]

Raytheon does a lot more than security

[sinful locust]

i know

but if youre just trying to get internship period and don't mind learning a little hacking

[jaunty cove]

i go to raytheon feeder school how do i learn ctf in 1 month

[restive meadow]

why is linkedin recruiting so weird this year

recriter ghosted me even after like 4 emails

[sinful locust]

https://pwn.college/

[restive meadow]

but last yr I'd get response within a couple days?

[earnest hatch]

I'm waiting for @hearty river to get Lockeheed return offer so he can give me referral

[wide socket]

honestly

when was ur last email

[restive meadow]

nah I did oa a while ago, but been ghosted since

[sinful locust]

if you know assembly you can learn enough for raytheon internship in 1 week

[wide socket]

F

[restive meadow]

yea

[earnest hatch]

Is this how geohot became an elite hacker

[wide socket]

yo show me one of ur guys resumes lmao

Idk why i'm gettin resume rejected

[past comet]

asu -> amzn pipeline is true then

[sinful locust]

even the ones at uw and uiuc too

[wooden shard]

r2c

[sinful locust]

[wooden shard]

[sinful locust]

yes

Apple/google/meta use child labor and harvest user data

only thing near my college is LA and JPL

i got resume ghosted as soph

[low vale]

is why i chose not to go with them

[jaunty cove]

come to santa barbara the only tech companies who recruit us are defense contractors

[wide socket]

thx

[sinful locust]

yeah they have shellphish and make security papers
the site i linked was made by prof from uc santa barbara: https://pwn.college/

[wide socket]

idk

[sinful locust]

no i dont go to asu

[wide socket]

Im tryin to work on my resume

[low vale]

how would you determine what your resume pass rate is, some oas are outo

[low vale]

oh i was saying all defense is sus

[wooden shard]

cockroach labs

[quaint bolt]

don’t worry about this shit and just git gud

[low vale]

true

i gotta increase my final:offer ratio to 100%

[wide socket]

your cracked lmao

your thing passes all resume screens

[low vale]

oh I misread this, db companies generally not supersus, duolingo also not super sus

[quaint bolt]

100% offer rate

[low vale]

pretty good, mine is 4 finals 2 offers

google 3rd offer

[sinful locust]

duolingo uses an app and all phones made use child labor and then factory labor
also they admitted to asking psychologists how to make app more addictive

db is fine i guess

[low vale]

l+ratio+you forgot your spanish homework

yeah actually you're right mobile companies are all omega sus

air purifier?

you mean water purifier?

oh first time im hearing of it

[sinful locust]

what about yale vs CMU/Berke?

[sinful locust]

would you rather choose asu or stanford

for CS

[low vale]

cmu is actually top 2 school for cs

[still yacht]

would u guys go to Yale or CMU/Berkeley for CS?

[sinful locust]

cmu

ivy league overrated

doesnt matter tbh

[low vale]

i'd choose cmu > yale tbh

cmu is more impressive for cs

[sinful locust]

college doesnt matter

it helps in the beginning a lot

it matters for most good companies

@still yacht is going to iterate through every colleg e until we get
what about asu vs cmu/berkeley

[low vale]

honestly if the only thing a company judges you by is the fact that you couldn't get into a good college

not worth working at

[jaunty cove]

u cant get an interview at 5 rings at a UC unless your a phd student

[still yacht]

what about dartmouth vs brown

[jaunty cove]

there are a lot of companies that care about school

big n

[sinful locust]

brown so you can just take CS

[jaunty cove]

its a fact that most recruiters use school prestige as a signal to some degre

in every field

cs might be more meritocratic

than otehr fields

what about Yale vs Stanford for CS?

[true glade]

stanford
