sounds about right
my friend waited 1.5 months
for final
and then got rejected after acing every question
BRUH whats with the long ass processes 
they testing to see if ur patient enough
like i got a final next week, the company moving hella fast lol
u gotta have the grindset
why everyone else so slow
which company?
ayyyyyy
Palantir and Riot move fast if u tell them u have offer
i told offer and Riot gave next interview 2 days after phone
very pog
serious pog

now we gotta just get through the rest of the process
plz
i jsut want something better man
no im dogshit at them
why tho @honest spire
yโall how do i. get microsoft to un ghost me after final
we alr passed the deadline i gave me
em
u dont
u simply wait
because frankly, u need them, they dont need u
i guess u could get another offer from someone even better and use that to make them speed up
ya didnโt work so far
in my case they rescheduled my final twice so this ainโt my fault they scheduled my final on day of deadline ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
u dont need msft, u already the vp product @ amazon
ya but amazon ๐ฉ

overworked underfed
infinity
they ghost
tbh i was expecting ghost i felt like i did sooooo bad 
hirevues = shit anyway
who knows tho tbh i done worse and had responses elsewhere so i never know how i perform these days lmfao
fr
lmao
does IMC ghost after video interview?
fully did their OA like 3 months ago
their hiring bar is very high and great engineering talent
๐คซ
also NG pay is good
nike hirevue was literally just an OA
not even video questions
yea it was wierd af
like they asked basic grad questions and shit
no its like an LC easy
and like application question
they ask if ur sponsorship, grad date etc etc
why nike
thats about it
yea get it done
i dont mind video interviews
speaking is ez
MAD BECAUSE IM CANADIAN
trueeeee
my fav part of interview is always asking questions lmao
stopppp
@quaint bolt what do i do about msft ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ

Touch american soil 
literally ghost
recruiter ghost scheduler ghost
i just want a timeline
fk

should i still negotiate?
title
Anyone in/been in two sigma management review phase for swe intern?
is atlassian ML better than amazon?
this
Krishna Das โ asks: would i be unemployed
@median hedge hi
was it 5sum
you being into comp programming explains a lot
I've been looking at a lot of peoples codeforces accounts who have hit master tier
And it seems like a yearlong-multiyear process

One of my hs math teachers made me think I hated math
So I never got into competitive math
๐ฎ
Competitive math would be fun but im bad at it
I think i only dislike it cause it makes me realzie im dumb af
Are those out of 100?
Every time I get into something I realize I should have started it years ago
Better now than never I suppose
is math involved?
yes
r LC problems much easier than CP problems?
fort worth texas or salt lake city next summer
imagine a bunch of 12 year olds who could eat lc hards for breakfast
then give them 10 years of experience
doing that
i think thats where india is at in terms of competition
they dont even do lc anymore i think its straight up comp programming shit
Iโm pretty sure there is a guy from my city who was on the Canadian ioi team at like 12
yeah for a job at infosys
Utah is sick
But salt lake city is not near all the cool places imo
tragic
i dont know shit about either city besides sweeping generalizations and whatever obscure travel blogs tell me
Walking a fine line here guys
I talked to my LinkedIn recruiter 2 days after the interview. She asked me for the preferable start data and location. She said it's also good on her end. However, she said she will update me next week? What does this mean? Does this mean I mostly got the offer or what's the next phase?
Did anyone has similar experience?
Yes and I got an offer. Whoโs your recruiter?
How to say to a company โcan we make the process faster because I am in the final stage for Amazon and want to consider your companyโ? ๐
@sleek pike would you take Atlassian or Amazon?
T.E.
I Have the same recruiter lol
Ok. I have Amazon final coming up and in the email the recruiter told me 5 days after final she will tell me the result
@late terrace you should do roblox data science codesignal
theres a bunch of sql, and its like GROUP BY 1, 2
whats it on
shit syntax
Amazon final coming up is not leverage
some basic probabiility, sQL stuff
Lol
idk why anyone would use column numbers in sql queriers when you have the column names
so pointless and confusing
Ok thatโs good! I thought you have to say yes right away ๐ ๐
i never use numbers
thats good
but it makes it more concise
There are use cases. Especially in Autogen sql queries
fair enough
Perfect! Thank you for infos
codesignal was fun
Nice
good morning kiddos
yo aviaan
i did it twice bcz the first time i was on "practice" ๐ฅฒ
BALLER my goat
@sleek pike can I dm you about viasat process
i am so ass at codesignal lol
nah its just that codesignal is ass
i have learned i am awful at accounting for edgecases sometimes
what were the interviews like + difficulty in LC terms + how good were interviewers
@ lost soph is codesignal god
also the OA that Cisco sent me was broken and I'm still pissed about that..
never trust cisco
also is it behavioral then technical or other way around
lesson learned
But itโs actually really bad practice and you often can use aliases. People are just lazy.
dude leetcode is fun once u get into it fr
100
it feels so counterintuitive to the positions we actually interview for
agreed
the actual problem solving is fine
i feel all the interviews are just like 1. you know it 2. you dont
system design interviews are much more fun
i just don't like that i am being asked to reverse a linked list for a MLE position
it's stupid
LOL
?? u can figure it out even ifnu don't know tbh
MLE cracked
when it get sto hard-level difficulty its more of either you know or dont tbh
like ah yes, let me reverse a linkedlist of parameters
depends on the question they ask
no that's goofy
like idk, some places have a reputation for interviewers who are just on thier fone
huhhh
very easy medium damn
ngl ive been prepping hards
then they ask BUMASS leetcode
so maybe overkill fr ๐ค
MLE CHOPPA
actually god tier nickname
trading interviews are much more fun
first page lc hards arent real hards
@sleek pike do you agree
i honestly wanna apply for some trading roles
you can get decently far at some companies with good probability knowledge and mental math skills
fair enough, but regardless
you know the zetamac grind
mfs cracking 100 on zetamac, idk how
typing speed go hard
58 being bottlenecked by autismo typing for me rn
I'm hands gapped
wtf is zetamac
How the fk do you get 100 on zetamac
idk
Would any smart knowledgeable human being tell me how many interviews does tiktok have for an internship
its possible
Ohhh
mental math prep
Yeah
i used to be rly good at mental math
I've never practiced mental matb
you memorize division facts and tsuff
like 3 digit by 3 digit multiplication in 3 seconds
sheesh
just rawdogged zetamac one time and got 58
coudlnt get past state tho
imagine liking math
i was ONLY good at cout down
couldnโt be me
tbh you can probably past 99% of oas with your zetamac
couldn't clear the target and sprint to get into top ten
so the only point is fun
yea same
i also didnt grind hard for it
wish i did
i was more into quizbowl
sequences are so intuitive so that's nice, but i want to max out mental math so i can smurf optiver if I'm being honest
wont even take the offer
imagine wagons
imagine dabi
you can prob pass
finals are hard tho
takes time
i need to leetcode up for sure.. it makes me sad
some guy said he went from 10 -> 100
do it everyday for a month and you'll hit 70
Huh
60 score or 60 minutes of practice
60 score
i play poker like a fucking idiot
Ok
yea same after this cycle im actually gona study
I dont see any use case for this beyond interviews lol
still win though 
its somewhat useful for trading roles
quick thinking
it's literally just I'm a better actor
calculations
Ig so
i need to worry about more than that rn tho
to get the job
i passed optiver mental math regardless and isnt that one of the harder mental math tests
Or no
consequences of growing up in LA county
LA county made me a prodigy (shotouts LA) (love socal)
i wish i was like you and grew up in Canada though
all of that yummy free healthcare..
I'm gonna start applying for roles in different countries i think
that sounds like it would be fun
do you all have any advice for career fairs? attending my first one next week and i legit don't know what to talk to recruiters about during the 1:1s
shueerr
Ok nice hit 40 for the first time
Is the akuna blacklist thing just for people who interview
Or OA too
hello how do I stop getting denied from every company
flow is hardest i think
but yea i think its one of them
blacklist is rumor
likewise
?avatar @atomic willow
i will find out next year
Lol
Iโll find out next year too
huh didnt u get offer lmao
i did so bad on the akuna cpp oa i think i should be blacklisted

bruh did n3 get banned?
awesome man 
I can never be too sure in this environment
Rust is bad
Tryna cover my bases

i forgot to cashout for months
holy
nah I'm a washed streamer ๐
i might return to stream coding though..
n3 got banned for streaming his jane street final
i love it man i cowork with coding streamers all the time
i heard he got sued
rust > c++
yes bro my goat
in regards to this
they honestly do ngl, getting back into coding streams inspired me to go back and code for fun
now I'm working on a couple side projects now
I think I heard back the next day about moving on
anyone know how long okta take to respond after final?
has anyone done the crowdstrike oa? if so, how was it
not too bad
brush up on REST/http
what position is this for?
i got a UI one not sure what to expect
oh yeah, it's for swe internship
oh shit, i have no idea but good luck!
you too!
you think quant will rescind?
no but in case the others do I have akuna
Its on monday
i think if im overconfident they will ask me to implement merge sort
colin monday
found this online https://www.reddit.com/r/csMajors/comments/xoydm5/crowdstrike_oa/
you did like 400+ lc this is like overleveling in a game and killing the boss in 3 hits
they gave me the invite like 1-2 days
sometimes you can kill it in 3 hits and other times it asks system design
colin god tier 
colin did you make a codeforces account yet?
oh yea if they ask sys design your tight
unless youve been grinding design too
pause salat you know what i mean
nah design you can literaly talk out of your ass for amz
didn't know anything and they let me through
lmao
i dont think they even know what sys design is just make shit up and sound confident
like i studied some more design for other companies right and looking back my amz sys design was so dogshit lmaooo
yes i did like 2 problrms
my first codeforces problem lmaooo
sum(a,b,c) -max(a,b,c) == max(a,b,c)
Jk

nono I think you're right
wat number is this
parse input from stdin
ima do codeforces in python 
cin will do
And push to stdout
Lol
I think there is no differnece for timing across languages right
so python objectively sucks
yep
im gonna eventually switch to cpp
and fun
gonna do first competition in python
Yea
see how it goes
Do you get emails about the lower rank competitions
tbh cf don't care about your runtime as long as it's under the limit
I dont rmeember signing up
Im supposed to do a competition hackathon today online
but they ask database questions
just do whatever it's the fastest to code up
Isnโt Carissa the only university recruiter?
?
what happened
I said it was the first problem i saw when i went on codeforces
yeah i know
wtf
Tell them their game sucks
did you ask questions to reduce assumptions
Anyone did databricks phone? What kind of problems were there
tf
Databricks is almost full no?
wait anyone know about hrt for python?
i know c++ focuses on systems and OS but what about python
idk, since my interview is next Monday imma still prep for it
Juh Mah got into radix
is that guy a troll
looks like he replaced js with radix
every single team?
rip me ๐
the message someone sent out said hc was almost full, and that ppl would be added on a rolling basis for available teams
!process microsoft un ๐ป but still no offer or result ๐๐๐
You can only use this command in 2022_winter_intern_process, 2022_summer_intern_process, 2022_grad_process, 2022_fall_intern_process, 2023_summer_intern_process, 2023_winter_intern_process, 2023_grad_process
Java beans vs at&t application process
Just got all test case pass for stripe OA. How long does it take to hear back for next steps
damn u got stripe OA??

Yeah last Monday
ima do akuna trading oa
What's the process like for Atlassian?
OA + phone + onsite
What's onsite like?
anybody know what the process is like after MSFT codility and recruiter call?
i created an account and just stayed on leetcode lmfao
never done anything with it

i think so, i remember being able to see the recent submissions. perhaps u can click a link on there and see. this was a while ago tho so not 100 percent sure
i hate that codeforces wont show u test cases where u fail ๐ญ
the fact that u can get a 0 on Akuna OA and not get blacklisted but if you get rejected from the final interview you get blacklisted is astounding
really
damn that seems harsh
makes sense
they get more info
on interview candidates
so its like more certain ur not a fit
ye i suppose now u put it like that
kinda does make sense
everytime tho?
surely it cant be everytime
you can see everyone's code on codeforces
if you are solving a specific problem there should be a submissions tab (or something like that)
and there you can see what other people submitted for the problem & whether it passes or not
i like codeforces 
i just got iq gapped by the akuna trader sequences test
how long did it take for people to hear back after uber final round
L
Whatโs the likelihood of Amazon being full
101%
prob quite high lol
Whatโs the prob of getting offer
wish cs careers dev was bigger in eu ๐ข no clue if they full or not for emea
Through the propel program
i been waiting 3 weeks
i waited 3 weeks to get OA a month ago
nah im waiting 3 weeks after doing the OA 
No like after final
bruh no clue then tbh
i waited a month after doing the OA
a month ago
you prob did
its automated i bet

Lol
yeah i should show amazon whoโs boss and ghost on monday 
Why withdraw from hubspot?
Amzn
but i dunno if i want to take it
yeah they said they'd get back to me next week lol
Tanz goated
they team matched you or they gave you an offer?
Matched with a team
Co grata
So that means they got an offer for me
S
According to the recruiter
๐ฅ
Nah sig is final to team match supposedly

@low vale do you like the team you got
What happens if u just leave at 5 and your company wants you to work late
Do they fire u for not being a team player
Not sure yet they just said we got a team that wants you I'm meeting them next week
Yeah in 1 year I'm hitting Masters in codeforces
0
Just started
0->2000 is the goal
I'll probably hit like 1800 or something
But I'm gonna try for higher
colin davis to colin galen by october 2023
Can the real colin davis please stand up
Setting unachievable goals for me are the best way to improve
my unachievable goal is getting amazon oa
colin davis is dead heโs locked in my basement
U a sophomore?
do they have c++17 compiler on cf?
Yeah
Worst luck got a leetcode hard for salesforce ๐ฅบ
What category
Is Twitter hiring for summer 2023 interns
Man my homework is so long 
Lol
I concur
Now we can post codeforces problems
msft response eod today @quaint bolt
Futureforce ๐ข
Ehhh maybe
My recruiter called me during my afternoon nap
unnacceptable
should I also start doing cf
Nah recruiter told me "hope to have a response by eod today, waiting to hear from some ppl"
now that I no longer need to do lc
We're all aboutta be smoked by wagons
Has anyone here done the Arrowstreet Capital QR OAs?
oh okay pog
im stil waiting for arrowstreet to get back to me 
why not take a look at the usaco training shit
stripe simp said it was good
Cope + L + not wagons
Yeah it's supposed to be pretty good
Questions were hard
Afternoon naps? Thatโs luxury
how difficult is paypal oa?
Diff website

Yeah that oneโs more of an overview I guess
There are 2 usaco training sites iirc
First one for plat was some modified segtree
This oneโs like actual training
One made by past usaco plats
I bet! We all earned it! hard few months ๐ฆ
Itโs what all the usaco kids use to practice
I'll be taking afternoon naps very soon
So its not just practice problems
A few more places I'm wrapping up and then I'm done
Happy with how this season has went all things considered
Yo is there a discord for Jane Street interns
not particularly
Iโd rather work at goog until Iโm a senior/staff and then move if I want something different
I saw his senior swe vid
And I donโt agree with it
Yeah ๐
Some people have other goals in life.
becoming a senior swe doesnโt mean abandoning everything else lol
it does mean more responsibilites
- Iโve been balancing a relationship/internship hunting/school for a while now I think Iโll be alright

Esp when 2 of those 3 things are gone when I start FT
Yeah gf
My gf gonna be in school still and No company has offices around here
Quantitative gf

Who dis
Random
I'm looking through masters
And checking out how long it took people
Apparently top 100 USA is not masters
100 is 1969
Oh
I will and then I'll flex with a fake score

I wear every single chain even when Iโm in the house
Iโm searching for the words to say to you right now

Yeah
lc med
For the phones

im not studying for that shit
I got lucky
L+Ratio google
Some people got lmeds
Most people get meds or hards
Well
Meds with hard follow ups
No need to code for follow ups tho
Usually
Still gotta be able to solve it
wagons you got goog last year right?
what type of question did they ask you?
dp, graph etc i mean
cuz it seems like they're asking a bunch of strings this season
does anyone have a stripe intern discord
And the recruiter said they not looking at resumes
AVL Trees, Graphs, Matrices, Binary Search
Were all the topics covered for all the qs I got
never did anything with avl trees before lol
yeah i think ima just study strings lmaooooo
well not study
For OA?
just do like some string dp that i ignored
if i get a red-black tree
i'll just take the L
I wish I only got strings lmao
and say google is overrated

ordered_map 
just got drw rejection after being very confident i got all 3qs correct on oa 
:(
Last one sprinkled in some probability theory right at the end bc I finished early but we just spoke about it I didnโt have to code

I was ready to fly to sf and throw hands with that mf when he asked me that
@fluid sequoia strike 1
Just starts asking expected value brainteasers
Unrelated to the question

strike 2
gg
In celebration of the recession the server will be placing 1 out 10 interns on PIP
You will be receiving a DM if you are on this plan.
what happens to the selected few slackers that get dmed
!help remind ban the PIPs
Command "remind" has no subcommand named ban
this is a type of problem i see quite often
Iโm not on pip right
Iโm your favorite person
do cf competitions go from easiest to hardest?
yes
because A seems very easy while F seems quite hard
yes
I can do F i dunno if I can do it optimally tho
0
doing my first competition hopefully on the 16th
Anduril final went moderately well 
Hey yall, what would you choose between dropbox and tiktok? Tiktok gave me only 1 week to decide ๐ฆ
Dropbox
take both and renege tiktok just to fuck with them
dropbox better wlb i think resume val is almost the same
do both internships
dropbox has really smart and technical leadership
a lot of core python devs work at dropbox
the learning experience will be pretty phenomenal there
take that
would love to but canโt due to international here ๐ฆ
personally, if money isnt a major issue, I always think you should always prioritize knowledge over everything in internships
Yeah money is not a big factor for me, I want to work where I can learn most and probably some resume value for trading resume screen next year ๐
The tiktok team is data platform, from the interview theyโre building some inhouse database and query engine, but the wlb is bad (no interviewers seems actually enjoyed there) ..
Yeah I am
faang >
Fair but disagree
do u have trading offer?
Too many wlb stories with tiktok for ft
ah
Failed 2sig and js final this year ๐ฅฒ
div3 
Just getting there is goated
if you have trading, id consider pay and you being interested in pursuing trading
damn
recent
theres like 5 in one server im in
lol
@near swallow hourly kek
no sir


surprisingly chill, at least the ones i interviewed with

Yeah that is surprising
pog
My team has met with js employees in past for knowledge sharing
GANG GANG
bruh i get scared when i get cracked interviewer
but theyre all chill af
yea today
leadership
tuff bro
damnn
my leadership dude said he interviewed with peng zhao for his job
yea which makes it seem approachable
@near swallow ?
haha
Yeah banned
yo whas should u say when interviewer asks u if u have any other interviews or offer?
But i told him he could dm in 2 weeks to come back but little fucklord said no he will make an alt
So if u see him again lemme know for perma ban
in terms of being interesting
lmao whatd he do
๐
i think js pays more, opt pays a bit less
My b i mixed it up. The dumb one copied n3โs name when he left
OG n3 asked for ban to focus
N3 say "COW" if u here
n3 blink twice if you need help
๐ต bro u a demon
daemon background process ๐
๐
Krib u go to top 10 uni?
No i went to a texas state school
shit i shouldve passed opt final, maybe they couldve negod intern pay /j
say it again
no
Only 7 days max
this seems like they're desperate
N3 had script to del
lotta people have that
makes sense
Personally i dont like those scripts here
Allowable like him when they run it as they leave
One time
Periodic is bad
And i consider bans
why cita basically throwing money at their problems? they bleeding talent?
