[near swallow]

In interview u get neevous

[midnight sonnet]

i mean idk where i had to use both global and local param

[near swallow]

U never “have to”

I just remember some times doing it

Probably weird advice

It was some matrix shit

[jaunty cove]

Have to?

bvm

nvm

[near swallow]

If u are collecting states or comparing previous states then yes u would need a global state collection

That’s true but misleading in regards to what i said. Just disregard lol

This is why I failed 8 onsites 😭

[hardy patrol]

im underestimating this factor i can easily bang out med graphs but if i have to do two sum on cam im going to fold like a chair

genius

[scenic sluice]

i hate leetcode

[old kelp]

I'm probably the guy who has failed the most interviews this application season :(

[wooden shard]

no me

[midnight sonnet]

bet list em out

[halcyon wedge]

Bruh

Got rejected by drw

[fervent flax]

to everyone who hasn't opened the paypal Oa. it was laughably easy. Legit two legit two leetcode easy. Not sure if everyone gets the same though

[halcyon wedge]

Solved the phone problem and gave an otimization right away

[elfin adder]

bruh expedia fr ghosted me when I asked to reschedule after they gave me one time slot to choose for final

[thin prawn]

Do you guys know if it's okay to say I dont need sponsorship as an international students?

[halcyon wedge]

Ffs

[thin prawn]

Cuz usually that means h1b but for internships its just cpt

[pallid finch]

The question usually whether or not you need it in the future

So you have to say yes

[earnest hatch]

I thought their email specifies you're only limited to the time they provide, they're not flexible with changing

[mild compass]

wait is robinhood codesignal custom?

[elfin adder]

yea but I still asked to reschedule lol cus I couldn't make their time slot

who gives only one why are they such fuckups

[mild compass]

i thought it was gca but the oa time was 1hr 45 mins

[old kelp]

Amazon, Yext, Flatiron Health, IQVIA, Bubble, Capital One, Asana, West Monroe, Kapwing (withdrew, but still consider it to be a fail)
About to fail: Blackstone Capital (is on Friday), Pinterest (if I get final round, I'm fucked), Bloomberg (after tech chat, I'm probably fucked)

[earnest hatch]

Yeah that's dumb

[old kelp]

There's more I haven't listed

[thin prawn]

yeah ik thats why im asking if its okay to uncheck it

[wooden shard]

i have more

[elfin adder]

damn homie has an about to fail list

[old kelp]

This is in interview round not the resume shits

[pallid finch]

You can't right?because you need it in the future

[low vale]

Oh man you guys are getting so many onsites wtf

[wooden shard]

failing all of them tho

[low vale]

I wish Asana interviewed me

[pallid finch]

[jaunty cove]

[wooden shard]

[old kelp]

🥹

[low vale]

recession proof company amazon

[old kelp]

Just Chase. I dont wanna work at Fintech or banks so I'm greedily looking for another place thats better

[low vale]

they fire so many people they don't need to layoff

[old kelp]

😭

[thin prawn]

just accept both and renege the one you dont want in the future you never know with the current market

[old kelp]

The second one was Publicis Sapient, but I already rejected them via email

[low vale]

Is that a medical company?

[old kelp]

Consulting

[north portal]

@old kelp what was ur first one

that ur going with

zon?

[old kelp]

I'm going with Chase atm (already accepted them)

[scenic sluice]

I was about to send this

[north portal]

ayyyy congrats!

[old kelp]

But I'm still looking for other stuff since I dont wanna work in FinTech or financial services

[scenic sluice]

is it too late to change majors CS IS DYING

[midnight sonnet]

how the fuck did u hear back from so many jheez

and i'm sorry bro

[old kelp]

T10 CS College + lots of exp on resume, but shit at leetcode

[midnight sonnet]

what's ur exp like?

[jaunty cove]

I went into the office only for the coffee machine to be broken

[pulsar quarry]

quick question

[jaunty cove]

What was the ooint

[north portal]

fair, Im trying to get into a tech company cuz Fidelity two years in a row isnt exactly where i want to be

[old kelp]

I posted my anonymized resume in #1019675142248468601 you can cehck it out

[midnight sonnet]

y not

[scenic sluice]

How u get past OA w shit leetcode?

[pulsar quarry]

for spring 2023 can i put my summer 2023 offer on resume?

[jaunty cove]

Nobody else is here they all working remote

[old kelp]

My Leetcode is only good enough to pass me through OA. I fumble on LC Mediums like graphs, dp, etc

[hearty river]

[scenic sluice]

I guess mine is worse than shit then 💀

Whats ur code signal

[north portal]

where

[midnight sonnet]

#1029194774126805002 message

[old kelp]

Yup

[old kelp]

770 only solved questions 1, 2, 3. Suck ass at algorithmic shit like Q4

[north portal]

goddamn

[low vale]

770 not bad, a lot of people overexaggerate the need for 840+

you got stacked exp

[old kelp]

lul

yes for my uni

[north portal]

@low vale question, does going back to the same comapny for a second year look bad?

[low vale]

im a soph i dunno

[old kelp]

I dont think so, but you wanna do better stuff yk at that same company

[low vale]

i assume not tho

[north portal]

same thats why

[low vale]

i want to go to a bunch of different companies

bigger ats grab

[north portal]

cuz i dont wanna end up at fidelity for longer than soph year

[low vale]

and more exposure

[old kelp]

Yeah. I just try to have EXP at different companies and get more exposure to different industries

[north portal]

yea truee

im still trying so we shall see if i can get something better

but if i dont ig im at fidelity again

[old kelp]

Like you dont wanna be stuck doing the same thing like backend dev

[near swallow]

[low vale]

interning at like google or somehting 2 years in a row isn't bad right, but you wanna get exposed to different company cultures

[north portal]

oh, so i shouldnt do fullstack twice?

[near swallow]

Yahkuna how does it feel for server most frequent emote to be kekwrecessionedition

Not dogesmile

[north portal]

cuz like the other shit is more business information technology oriented, fullstack the only full SWE shit they got

[low vale]

if I stick around for 1 more internship season, im not planning on going to amazon again because i already experienced it once

yk?

well, thats a bad example there are 1000000 teams in amazon

[hearty river]

[low vale]

if I get like a db team at amazon, im not going to want to work at mongo or cockroachdb

[north portal]

fair

that explains

tbh tho, im just trying to get into a different company

i want an upwards trend every year

not stagnation

[tulip aspen]

can u guys ping me every so often to make me do leetcode

[north portal]

do leetcode

[low vale]

code up a bot that does this

not difficult to do

[old kelp]

Big facts

[low vale]

put it in a personal server

[tulip aspen]

thanks bro

great idea

[old kelp]

Yeah exactly

[low vale]

its like 20 lines of python or js i think

[old kelp]

Like showing diversified exp is gr8

[north portal]

the problem is every company just isnt giving me a response

and hte ones that do are just faang+s

so i fail

[old kelp]

(T_T)

Bro how

[north portal]

like Amazon was my best chance and i fucked it up

[old kelp]

is goated

[near swallow]

For all time it is def waz

[old kelp]

Its ok, you have time

[near swallow]

But i think this one is frequent recently

[old kelp]

is getting up there I bet

[near swallow]

I see it a lot

[plush girder]

[north portal]

yea but idk i dont wanna be a junior or senior still trying to break into a faang company

[old kelp]

T_T thats me

[north portal]

thanospog is also big

[north portal]

damn my b, no offense

[low vale]

even if you were you'd still be above like 90% of csmajors

probably higher tbh

[hollow field]

R u a soph

[old kelp]

I only broke into Gargle not for SWE 😦

[north portal]

ye

[hollow field]

Damn

[low vale]

I will break into Gargle on the 18th

[dark jungle]

Amazon won't even give me a chance lmao

[low vale]

[old kelp]

[low vale]

big advocate of big n

can mean whatever

like t20

[willow drift]

Is it possible to still get a reply in the future if it’s taking this long lol

[hollow field]

Last year

Yea

This year idk

[pseudo shoal]

@hearty river is next citadel employee 🔥

[old kelp]

I think I'm blacklisted from Google. I keep applying to their stuff and get rejected T_T

[hollow field]

Depends on their hiring needs

[hollow field]

Most people don't get responses from goog

[willow drift]

Why’s that

[old kelp]

I remember the Fizz Buzz days 😦

[low vale]

[old kelp]

Aren't you a freshman?

Yeah they did for final interview a few years back

Bruh you're the people who pee outside the toilet bowl

[willow drift]

Wish I was born a few years back

[sinful locust]

why do recruiters say we’re going over apps you’ll hear from us soon but why don’t they help me

like by giving OA

only two have out of a hundred

[old kelp]

Like people were so ed with technical knowledge that most of them couldn't solve Fizz Buzz

And whoever did, got the Google offer

[vague lion]

bro im putting my grad date as 2024

if a recruiter asks me about it

[sinful locust]

two year loo

[low vale]

i wish i was born 20 years from now

[vague lion]

ill just say i can grad in two years if i wanted to

[old kelp]

Faking grad year does help ig

[old kelp]

Why? in the future or past

[low vale]

more cool tech

future

[sinful locust]

eh

[low vale]

actually, 100

100000

:^)

[willow drift]

What if you’re born as an Amazon slave

[old kelp]

Yeah you're gonna be dead as soon as you are born cuz the world is gonna explode

[crisp berry]

are you talking about recruiters you cold emailed

[sinful locust]

yes

i am

what’s up with them

[low vale]

Life Any% speedrun would be won

[sinful locust]

[crisp berry]

can i dm you 😭

[sinful locust]

yes

[crisp berry]

my cold email game is not going well

[old kelp]

Yes you like OF and children being brain damaged from TikTok and social media

[sinful locust]

bro mine isn’t either

…

[old kelp]

Just get hot email game then or a hotmail account

[bold barn]

cold emailing recruiters <<<<<< reaching out to randos on linkedin for referrals

[sinful locust]

this year both are useless

[bold barn]

??? i got like 10 referrals thru cold DMs

[old kelp]

That is true. Slavery used to be more prominent than it is today (it still exists)

[sinful locust]

they aren’t helping me

i got 20-30

and reached out to recruiters

still no OA

[midnight sonnet]

this works? bruh

[sinful locust]

yeah

[low vale]

sometimes

[midnight sonnet]

i never get a reply

[low vale]

usually get ignored, but its generally worth trying

[midnight sonnet]

what's ur message like?

template pls?

[low vale]

if you vaguely know the person

[bold barn]

ppl put “happy to refer” in their bio

[low vale]

I've never cold dmed tho

[bold barn]

get a free trial of linkedin premium so you can cold dm anyone

hit rate is about 50%

[low vale]

next season ig

[old kelp]

Damn

[low vale]

happy with this one

[spark hearth]

im going internshipless this summer 😦

[old kelp]

[old kelp]

I would choose Roblox ngl

[low vale]

roblox ft amazon internship

roblox ft >>>>>

[jaunty cove]

@soft basin My linkedin feed is you liking incoming amazon interns announcement posts

[old kelp]

Roblox goated. I can play Grand Piece Online and Uno

[old kelp]

[terse sonnet]

like solely for internship

[crisp berry]

[terse sonnet]

ic

[jaunty cove]

you can play trouble in terrorist town at work at roblox

[willow drift]

Colin the dp god what’s ur LinkedIn

[soft basin]

[crisp berry]

[old kelp]

Barely

[soft basin]

[soft basin]

[old kelp]

My linkedin pfp is so mid. I gotta retake 😭

[jaunty cove]

Im thinking about taking my non technical work experience completely off my resume and linkedin now that i have 2 cs-related positions

[low vale]

same, who i am should be obvious

[jaunty cove]

what do u guys think

[low vale]

yeah i would agree when you have one more year of exp

[soft basin]

good move

[old kelp]

I feel like its fine though

[low vale]

my linkedin pfp is from 4 years ago

i should retake

nah in another year

[jaunty cove]

i should probably get a more professinnal photo

[old kelp]

Add me on LinkedIn though. I added it in #socials

[wary harbor]

My LinkedIn pfp is a pic of a ig model, I’m tryna catfish these recruiters into a offer

[jaunty cove]

but i like that it stands out

[old kelp]

[willow drift]

Apple experience

[jaunty cove]

Yeah i put that on there for ATS

Lol

[old kelp]

Peak

[jaunty cove]

But one time an application auto parsss my resume

And filled out “salesman” under the apple job even tho i didnt call it that

They know

[old kelp]

[low vale]

specialist in sales

[old kelp]

Kinda

I feel like if its a name brand

You'll be good

[low vale]

says you're good enough for X company

[crisp orbit]

wait yea fr i wanna connect with @jaunty cove 🥺

[old kelp]

If you're gonna renege

[low vale]

change dates around

[old kelp]

Yeah

[simple garden]

🤔

[low vale]

they don't

[old kelp]

They dont

[low vale]

so realistically should be meaningless

but, might sway a recruiter

[old kelp]

But based on ethics, they will question you prolly

[low vale]

incoming google swe 🙂

proof: my ass

[old kelp]

[earnest hatch]

Incoming Xoogler

[crisp orbit]

[old kelp]

Nerf all Yasuos plz

[jaunty cove]

I could tell its you bexause

You had 10 internships on your resume

[old kelp]

Damn imagine calling C1 a backup

I wish I had the luxury to do that

[north portal]

nah fr

I wanted C1 as backup

now its just fidelity

but we gonna bag riot

[old kelp]

def

[north portal]

whats the process tho

i just had recruiter call

and this was next step

is this a final interview or like something else

[old kelp]

Did the recruiter not tell you anything?

[north portal]

he mentioned that there was a technical and like a behavioural

but thats about it

[old kelp]

Did you have technical?

[north portal]

no

i just had a recruiter call

[old kelp]

Thats not behavioral

So wait

You had recruiter, had behavioral?

Or had recruiter, are not getting behavioral

[north portal]

ah ok

thanks

[jaunty cove]

Tf

sf

I guess they dont need to trade at all their offices

Thats cool

[karmic meteor]

Anyone been waitlisted by databricks?

[sinful locust]

was your offer in chi?

[karmic meteor]

I just got waitlisted

[north portal]

no i just got rejected

[north portal]

[karmic meteor]

[north portal]

[sinful locust]

alr

[karmic meteor]

Oh

[sinful locust]

i hope so at least

[low vale]

tf is zendesk?

finance?

i wish someone compiled a list of all good swe companies

too many idk

[jaunty cove]

all of them that arent capital one

[low vale]

pittcsc moment

i don't actually mind this though

because that you'd have to search up the interview links

might also allow recruiters to know what a company is :^)

they can just ctrl f the list

[willow drift]

Bro I been asking the same question

[hardy patrol]

i dont see how everyone applying to a role devalues your own app

like what difference does it make if 90% of the apps are just fluff

compared to 60%

[low vale]

makes it harder for people with less exp to get in imo

[hardy patrol]

yea i guess thats true if your part of the "fluff"

took me 700 apps to get my first name on the rezzie

[jaunty cove]

Thats sexy

[low vale]

took me somewhere into the low hundreds

[sick oar]

last msft interview time! (3/3)

i'll be back in 2 mins to spill if it's a partner/director or not

[low vale]

i strongly dislike any and enumerate

makes it harder to read stuff lol

[old kelp]

enumerate is goated

But readability is tuff in this solution

[sick oar]

ITS A PARTNER

GUYS

[old kelp]

?

What hap

[sick oar]

he's a director of product

my interviewer

[hardy patrol]

id be surprised if you dont get an offer

[old kelp]

For what company

[willow drift]

Stream interview

[low vale]

[sick oar]

msft

[low vale]

i solved n-queens by backtracking and the code is so much longer lol

yeah i know but like

not dp

oh

i read that as dp

and im like

huh

[old kelp]

[low vale]

can't read ez

[old kelp]

Teach me your ways

[jaunty cove]

return len(nqueens(n))

[low vale]

I still can't get over how clean this solution is

goddamn

[jaunty cove]

I don’t understand how doing the bare minimum in anything will yield the desired results. If you’re so unhappy in your job then you should properly quit and go somewhere else. Staying and quiet quitting is not fair to you or your employer. Winners give 110% to everything they do👊🏽

jpmc is not an f500

i'd say slightly higher

cold emails work really well for f500 recruiters

because no one ever cold emails them

[old kelp]

Its rank 24 lol

[low vale]

its a list of 500 decently well known companies

[low vale]

I mean yes, but would you consider google an f500

when he's saying f500

he's saying companies that are well known

[north portal]

google an f100

[low vale]

but mid for cs

[north portal]

true

i mean Bofa and half the financial comapnies are decent enough

[old kelp]

Alphabet is Rank 8

[low vale]

f1 is best

[old kelp]

[low vale]

especially if you're a driver

[north portal]

front end or backend experience?

[old kelp]

Walmart is #1 while Amazon is #2

[low vale]

ye

[old kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/smoke-cigarettes-khalifa-gif-14617129

U even have UnitedHealthGroup which pays shit for CS at an F5 over Alphabet aka Google

[old kelp]

UHG plays 30-35/hr and gives housing to put it into perspective

[north portal]

whats the ng comp tho

fuck intern pay

[old kelp]

Abotu 90-150k basically 120k

[hardy patrol]

they dont know i interned at a f247 company

[pallid finch]

blackrock is auto OA?

[north portal]

blackrock is ||[redacted]||

[old kelp]

Got the OA and then ghosted after OA

[pallid finch]

[old kelp]

Bruh how tf is CVS at F4

[low vale]

big company

[old kelp]

Micropenis at F14

AT&T higher than Micropenis at F13

[halcyon wedge]

Yo, guys

[halcyon wedge]

Got rejected by DRW today and feeling less confident than a tortoise racing against a cheetah

Dope

[jaunty cove]

this guy blocked me idk who he is tho

[low vale]

the list is like 10 companies long

prbly less

[north portal]

What about DE Shaw, Jump Trading etc etc?

and SIG?

[low vale]

desco is deshaw

sig doesn't go that high

[north portal]

ah ok

[old kelp]

Bruh, this dude @autumn maple

[low vale]

jump might reach that high

[coarse vigil]

time to bomb people

[old kelp]

You know that customer service is fr

[low vale]

ik a guy who was omega cracked and became jump dev outta highschool

300k

[coarse vigil]

lockheeed

[old kelp]

p nice

[old kelp]

W

[low vale]

300k was a couple years back tho

[old kelp]

Its probably skyrocketed by now

[low vale]

so probably slightly higher

yeah

[jaunty cove]

can i have a referral

[low vale]

if yall ever did Advent of Code he was number 8 on the list

[jaunty cove]

I want it

[low vale]

lol

idk what that is

[coarse vigil]

Ok

[jaunty cove]

My friend is designing embedded software for turrets

he was from nyc iirc

so many absolutely cracked people graduated from my hs

and then there's me

[hardy patrol]

pinterest handed out rejections where the fuck is mine

[low vale]

they don't want to be found

they work in the shadows

[jaunty cove]

Theyre in boston i thjnk theres a lot from mit

[north portal]

oh shit

[jaunty cove]

Dam

They are pretty small huh

[north portal]

nvm we staying hungry and humble

[hollow field]

Some companies don't let them post on LinkedIn right?

[old kelp]

[hollow field]

I think I was trying to look up radix or something and couldn't find anyone on linkedin

[old kelp]

How good is SIG for SWE Intern

[low vale]

supposedly very mid

as far as swe goes

im in the final stages for them and company seems meh

[old kelp]

My friend gotta decide between SIG for SWE or Blackstone Capital. He's into FinTech and Quant

[low vale]

sig

100%

[old kelp]

Yeah thats what I said

[low vale]

sig is meh compared to quants

and tech

much better than blackstone

[old kelp]

Whats PE

Ahh I see

Ahh I see

Wym by this. for finance or for SWE

[low vale]

hard ramp up though

like IB

insane hours

[old kelp]

Yeah IB go crazy

[jaunty cove]

also less meritocratic

[low vale]

i feel like if you're working that long maybe its a self-fulfilling prophecy

those who don't have what it takes

[old kelp]

Damn

[low vale]

just get filtered

[north portal]

to be fair IB and PE is like u work for 5-6 years and then retire

then u just work a good wlb life and chill

[low vale]

no

10+ years to hit the fat millions

not 5-6

[sinful locust]

depends on team i think? but someone told me its similar or higher

[north portal]

oh really?

i mean depending on ur skills woudlnt u get enough bonuses before y10

on average ig yea

but 10+ years for shit wlb is stupid

i thought it was less

[sinful locust]

quant can hit mil in < 10 i think

quant as in trader

[north portal]

yea thats what i was saying

for swe obviously longer

but swe also has much better wlb

[thorny wharf]

is one faang + finance projects on resume enough to get quant interviews

[fervent flax]

generally yeh

[vague lion]

easily lol

[simple garden]

They should rename Binary Search to 1Sum

[sinful locust]

lol you dont even need that

[jaunty cove]

go to good school

[sinful locust]

you just need to do well on oas

theyre very meritocratic with performance

unlike tech who just wants clout

[hardy patrol]

going to carbon freeze myself like anakin skywalker so i can wake up in 3 years when amazon/msft/slack finally get back to me

[halcyon wedge]

I think you should do the usual daily check

[jaunty cove]

did 100% on every trading firm swe OA except Akuna but got screened regardless

[halcyon wedge]

We’ve been missing the daily updates from you

Always fun

[jaunty cove]

its sad

[sinful locust]

depends when you did them

[halcyon wedge]

Commentary typically on point

[sinful locust]

if you did it in like july id be surprised

[jaunty cove]

Next year maybe i can get interviews

I did it maybe a month ago

Too late ig

[sinful locust]

idk

akuna sucks anyway

[hardy patrol]

i do the usual daily check i dont even bother screenshotting my msft action center i just repost the same pic the past month since nothing changed

[sinful locust]

screw them

[jaunty cove]

Lol

[sinful locust]

@sinful locusthkub

[late terrace]

duck akuna

[jaunty cove]

their oa was ridiculously hard

[halcyon wedge]

Lmao, big brain time

[late terrace]

swe?

swe oa was easy

[jaunty cove]

For cpp?!

not python

[late terrace]

oh nvm

[sinful locust]

whats swe

[halcyon wedge]

Cpp is nice

Only time I’d pick Python is for dfs problems

[sinful locust]

cpp, python, data tooling, data infrastructure, or quant dev?

[halcyon wedge]

So I can just nest function definitions

[sinful locust]

thats not even the best feature

[halcyon wedge]

And not worry about references and whatnot

[thorny wharf]

aren't most quant firms school selective

[halcyon wedge]

Python has a lot of good things

[sinful locust]

idk to some extent

[jaunty cove]

How am i supposed to know move semantics i just learned c++ 3 months ago 💀

[halcyon wedge]

Comprehensions are amazing

[sinful locust]

comprehensions are great

i just like the no typing in general

[halcyon wedge]

If rust wasn’t so hardcore

[sinful locust]

lambdas are easy

enumerate is great

[halcyon wedge]

I’d just use that

[jaunty cove]

Leetcode is kind of a pain with rust

[late terrace]

lmfao

why would anyone use rust for lc

need that rust guy back here

he probably has an argument for this

[vapid pecan]

is it normal for tesla recruiters to ghost?

recruiter sent me oa

got 8/8 for all 3 qs and then ghost

[halcyon wedge]

Ouh, I didn’t mean for lc

Was just talking in general

Rust is overall great

[halcyon wedge]

Same for C++

Almost bombed Palantir for taking it in C++

[jaunty cove]

I wanted to learn more rust but didnt want to do real coding

[jaunty cove]

Lol that sucks

[halcyon wedge]

Yeah, luckily I swapped to Python and just blazed through 2/3 and that was enough

[sick oar]

FINISHED WITH MSFT

YOOOOO

no

i interviewed with a partner @quaint bolt

[low vale]

Yo what the fuck is this doordash oa

Q2 is like lc easy

Q1 is lc hard

Did any of you guys solve the dp one?

I gave up

[near swallow]

Not. Even. Close

I am rust simp and disagree

Or idk what ur tryna say or i am misunderstanding

I would lc in cpp over rust for the next thousand yrs

[jaunty cove]

Dealing with compiler errors in rust during an interview would be frustrating asf

[low vale]

Huh am I allowed to say

I guess I can give it vaguely

Okay lol

Add me

Your dms are closed

[jaunty cove]

😂

[halcyon wedge]

Same, but CPP can be a headache at times as well

My biggest complaints about CPP are usually error messages and templates

Error messages in cpp are the absolute worst

I could be doing a lambda for sort and it misses an edge case and I'm suddendly getting 200 lines of the vaguest possible error messages

[jaunty cove]

Lmao

[midnight sonnet]

is it sudoku?

[low vale]

Nah

Make 2nd string subseq of first

Def a dp

[midnight sonnet]

oh right suduko is riot

yeah doordash is dumb

i'd say focus on q2

q2 is dsu

[jaunty cove]

Like Edit distance?

[violet kelp]

nice, how was it?

[low vale]

Yeah I got 100 on q2 in like 5 mon lmao

[low vale]

Never did that

Yeah sorta

[mighty bone]

Chose Roblox

[low vale]

But you can only delete

And subsequence is acceptable

[jaunty cove]

If you go from a supersequence to a subsequence then at some point you were the same

If u can only delete

[uneven sand]

yes

[low vale]

Good company and pay

[uneven sand]

for me it's an easy choice

[low vale]

Fast promos too

[jaunty cove]

how do recruiters not know tech companies

that should be a big part of their job

what do they do

all day

[summer marten]

opinions on ibm vs mathworks internship? care mostly about resume value, both have cool work

[torn gull]

mathworks

[lucid basin]

are there any hft firms that would take a 2025 grad for an internship (no olympiads on resume)

[jaunty cove]

i assume its causr the problems are less about making an optimization and more about problem solving

like lc problems usually brute force is trivial

[quaint bolt]

[solar axle]

gotta decide palantir vs roblox soon. Most of yall said to go with roblox is that the move?

[old kelp]

Roblox > palantir

Roblox has better WLB, pay, and is just better

[solar axle]

yeah i did

how could I not

[old kelp]

Thats just my opinion

[solar axle]

only problem with roblox is bad return offer rate

[old kelp]

[quaint bolt]

[old kelp]

Teach me everything in LC

[solar axle]

how tough is stripe 1st technical

[lucid basin]

all the technicals are easy

if you know what an http request is

[low vale]

pbj no google?

[old kelp]

Internships > School

Unless you already have offer

[low vale]

[old kelp]
