bcz u can bactrack to any point previous
with 0 cost
right??
dijkstras twice
is wrong
nah, its an interesting problem because of the 0 cost backtracking
it's also bad bcz it gives WA
no, bcz the optimal paths between all 3 is not guaranteed to contain the nodes that are in the actual answer
there are edge cases where this isn't true i think
there are, i generated some when i actually did the OA
you would have to temporarily revert the weight to 0
so ik it doesnt work
doordash wildin with these hards lmao
lol how many test cases did you pass
i didn't lmao, i thot hmm dsu and backtrack, then was like i dont want to impl
so i left the OA
π
doordash generally 8-10 testcases can be solved when doing unoptimally
i have major skill issue lmao
yeah ikr
then was like wtf second gonna be hell
you should hear from them soon
ddash i heard of someone who got a 0 on q1 and passed
So far doordash is the hardest ive done
tiktok last q was harder than 1st q for dd
i think my idea solutoin for the DD one is O(2^E * log n)
no i don't
which is slow asf

the sad world
i see how you'd do this
maybe could be improved by 0-1 knapsack...
yeah it would tle
idk the optimal substruture tho
the DD OA and TikTok OA remind me that I'm super weak
nah lol
i asked brian chesky for help for doordash q1 after it was over
he didn't know how to do it
it was hard asf
yeah
wtf... 2500 codeforces to solve it π
idk if I'll take it
swe
dunno, they gave verbal
I feel extremely inadequate yo
getting written offer next week
@low vale what was the solve?
solve for what?
q1 DD
i got a diff question
ngl there's very few people in the server who can answer ddash oa q1 lol
I will be one of them in 1 year

grinding lc is not gonna help u solve that shit
do codeforces instead
time to move to CF yall
its more fun
fr?
yeah i think thats a codeforces type problem for ddash
i will be 1900 cf soon
kinda suprised how many OAs are CF-like
all the most cracked people do ddash
i don't get that many
oh actually i agree
codesignal was like a bunch of 900 CF questions
do some basic lc list like
and DD and TikTok was like CF too
not noob, I just feel like one after that DD q, I normally deal with lc medium questions fairly nicely
nice, doing mediums is good
imagine if lc had a good problem rating system π
some hards are super easy, some hards are π
man i got codesignal q4s that were like -1000 on codeforces and ones that are in the 1300-1500 range
difficulty variation a bit insane tbh
yo what is CF?
i got a codesignal binary search question for #4
and it was like
probably hard
for most
but i had been grinding nothing BUT binary serach
that week
so all i was thinking abt was binary search π
blocks?
π
See if interval query contains any block
sweep line π
i got a codesignal that was just sort and add two things together for a q4
idk sweep line but apparently merge intervals is somewhat like that
π
genius
bitwise π€€
i like
don't get how to use SQL ngl
shit is beating my ass
do recursion in sql
why need sql
@somber solstice where do u got to>?
no name school in the midwest
we dont need fun, we need internships
aw i thought u went to like top schools
internship = money, money = fun times at college
bruh... that requires being sweaty
i am not smart enough or sweaty enough
sad reality
school really doesnt matter
for quant it does a lot
anyways
Bro I go to no name n a Junior and suck
ah fuck i did ctfs last year when i was a freshman
like JS, cit, hrt wont just hire anyone lol
CTFs were fun in high school, dont have a team at college tho
ctfs just the biggest signal of freshman or what
U mean like nonames?
? i did CTFs in highschool but not in college π₯²
ig
oh i thought you were saying you did ctfs in college
if you have experience everything becomes easier
π
wait is it easier to get into hft full time than for internships
i want to, but no team here lol
its way harder to get into anywhere ft than internships
what?? internship harder than FT tbh
internships so hard bro
depends
then yeah maybe
why u make fun of me, i grad date 2024 π₯²
well depends on the firm
i have to work now
nice one
sad life
apparently amazon is not enough to pass js resume screen
i came into college with like 40-50 credits tho
doesn't make you not a freshman lol
^
Was the tiktok oa auto
yeah
also, like half of the classes are like common sense
not here
'who cares about quant' -> 'mmm quant salaries' -> 'hrt/cit/js
'
his mom is L7 at google and his daddy is L8 at msft earning 1 mil a year chillin
maybe like 4000s+ it gets tough
but most of it is knowledge u can get just by doig things for fun

lets hash this out
5r

i got one from 5r
honestly harvey mudd makes you all look like small fry
dont even approach me
unless you made it out of the mudd
are the tiktok oas still rolling out
philosopher of our time
How was Amazon's OA? Anyone who took it?
Amazon OA is okay. Itβs like 2 LC mediums
My friend has stripe on-site coming up. Anyone have any tips on the integration round?
My friend has stripe onsite coming up, anyone have any tips for it?
yes
std upper_bound and lower_bound
are like bisect right and left respecitvely
@safe minnow @sinful locust
good dp
article
wut does bisect do
find insertion point in sorted container for some value
to the left of any present value
1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6
bisect left 3 gives you 2
Thats the index where u would insert a 3
On the left of exisitng :
3*
And it uses bsearch so
Its logn time
op for OAβs
^^
Cause u get screened regardless of score
Lol
At least most of the problems are fun
wait what π
so doesnt matter what score you get, you just go through dropbox? wtf
role?
i did the gca, then the progressive question OA, and the recruiter screen, so everyone just goes to recruiter? that makes no sense
i mean just look on levels lmao
pog
Progressive i think
noice
i have ebay, instabase, and hrt codesignals
all GCA, all overlapping due dates
should i just grind codesignal practice exams for a few days then pickja random one because they all matter
or can i link a separate email after getting a good score?
@proud crag how good are you at LC?
im pretty good at dp and tree problems but suck at hashing/array problems
@feral void other than that does it not matter which company i do the gca for? or could they make one harder/easier than other
i think GCA is just universal
does anyone have insight on the tiktok interview :D
im worried cuz i took the practice and failed q4
9/11 tests
it was a weird mathy one that was 2sum but for remainders
ok thats what i thot
yo
can you take time off during an internship
my first show might be early aug so ill take a few days off whether theyll let me or not
worse theyll do is no ro
i can but have to ask in advance and i dont get paid
its also wishy washy start and end date tho
@safe minnow virtually never as loing as u dont kill the owners dog
what codesignal is good enough for instabase and ebay?
oh my fuck
i got the right answer
but i made result an int instead of long long
thats hwy i fucked up and got 735 isntead of 800+
"If there are more than 40mins left try to solve 3. When the timer shows < 20mins just submit."
is this a valid strat @feral void
its for the daily practice test
i got the code correct for c++ daily practice
but since i didnt do long long there was overflow error ig
no because my code worked
assuming u mean time limit expire
the solution to 4 is to ||copy paste 2sum but do like a million % operations involving k and the hash value. u basically gotta check if the complement of the mod exists in the hash map, and if it does add the number of tiems it occurs to ur result value. then you push the actual mod to the hash map isntead of the complement of it||
@sinful locust
wat
can someone help me on my hw
dm me if u can belp
its algorithms dp hw
dm me if u can help
decent
what makes real one harder?
its still just q1 trivial, q2 is easier half of medium or hard easy, q4 is a medium, no?
Roblox, also what makes you think Roblox work is less interesting
how tf do ppl get past millennium OA?
2 dp hards + 1 dp medium wtf was that
i solved 2/4
n gave up
Still depends on team, I say Roblox is the better company overall
are u srs
Jw does anyone know how roblox returns work
Ik some rlly smart people who didnt get returns
lateral lol
Why not???
Their return offer is p good
R u a soph
Oh nvm
I thought u meant Ng offer
The people ik were 2022 and didn't get it
crazy
I just want a damn job
400 is low, if u can get a 400k offer then u can get 2 and make them fight for you
200k hcol is doable y1 but like past that its grind country
I think my friend was trying for Ng return so might be diff
Damn u rejected 2 sign already?
50% isn't bad tbh but what I heard is that u just need to be lucky and get a high impact project
Jw r any of y'all juniors
does google ghost or send rejection emails? I applied ~2 weeks ago. No OA yet
Ghost
how do u define dev in the context of an internsihp
Work seems interesting too
i never got into roblox, is the game acrually fun
They do decent ML stuff right?
How did ppl get into coding with scratch HOW OLD R U PPL πππ
Wait what do u mean by scratch? How is that related to roblox
dont most people just use Roblox to play hide and seek and shit like that
Very beautifully
you mean cash?
he's memeing
fix what
ic
so I am at a hackathon
I got my resume reviewed from someone at msft
and they said it looks rlly good and they wouldnt change much
π
Didn't they rescind a shit ton last year
Calhacks?
Hack the Valley
they've driven rent up massively because they made it better for landlords to do short term abnbs than have renters
oh
it was a cash joke
π€¦ββοΈ
i want to go to jump because apparently all the trading happens offline
this but unironically
and i think thats cool
I want to go to Shonen Jump Street Trading because I like manga and computers
market makers are so fucking cool
I'm passionate about Netflix cuz of one piece
market making has a lot of interesting technology
least deranged cs major
but i don't wanna stay in one for more than a few montths/years
kirb
can you hire me
plzzzzz
I am really good at coding
:D
I am bored
idk why I am here
π
i want to create my own startup
so i have enough money to put my brain in someone elses body
dp is the only thing i know
and live forever
imagine doing dp
Don't think y'all got what fracker meant lol
only dp
eventually we'll migrate to computer architecture
get a new brain
ship of theseus style
replace bit by bit
all at once means u die
till you become a machine
aurora the amazon db or aurora the car thing?
if you have all of your old memories and feelings imo yes
this is actually Latin for "grind leetcode"
wait no nvm it's Latin for "waveshine auto cancel bair" @proud crag
my friend gave me an aurora referral, interviews seem to be hard
till brain rejuvenation is a thing
he said AV has a ton of money rn
waveshine pc drop shine
then i won't need to become part machine
make a list of all quant/hft and post in #quants-n-traders
cruise is doing well
but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do
why me
cuz ur in the inner circle
AV has a ton of money
consider it a service to your community
i got a referral still no OA
as soon as I am old enough to apply to internships I am applying to so many
ill love u for a day till i forget if u compile a list @sinful locust
you'll probably be dead ngl
gotta get good at lc before that tho
but i'll lyk
yo
where
I wanted that list bruh πΏ
what's aurora
thats the quant thing
ohhh
this barely has anything on it
Maybe sparing cash to hedge
oh i thought it had all the main ones
harvard
im currently at tier 5
Schools with large endowments count as quant firms 
Q U A N T D A D D I E
goal is to hit tier 3
sig?
Woooahh how do i get past resume screen
ye
i want to get desco
they expressed the tinest morsal of interest in me
so i must simp for them
until google takes me
listen, im not gonna say its weird that you know all those
but
its a tad strange
oh
do you know if referrals do anything for hrt/cit
you interviewed with them right
oh

yeah i got it
i just wish cit didn't resume reject me 
i have snowflake technicals coming up, can anyone say anything about the interview difficulty
is it like lc hards/

how many places did you apply to?

wait did you get all of these?
yeah thank god man lmaooooo
gremlin behavior
i was aboutta be like
jump's giving interviews???
tbf you got like half the list tho
good pay bad wlb
imc is very free
if only they let me move to finals

going to give a very educated guess and assume you like lc/codeforces brian
intel is strange they gave me an interview last year with deadass no experience but rejected me this year with f500
i dont think theres a solid bar for how many lc is good enough
it depends on the company
like half the cracked people here only done b75
not even the full list
arent you a freshman
sheesh
what the fuck
i jumped on the intern grind too late bruh
does anyone know if sig moves?
pause
pause
does IMC ghost or send out rejections? Finished the video interview last week
they reject
roblox does this
2s might
yeah
sig is like
not the highest for swe
this place really is feast or famine you either have the quant/faang crowd or the internshipless folks here no in-between
shd you have roblox
once you get 1 meal
you are in the former group
you only feast
which one r u
how do i convince 2sig to interview me man 
tell them they are 2 times better than sig
f500 so ironically the mid point
oh 
maybe desco might give something out
at their weird connect thing
desco gave me an email
automatically better than every other quant

wait was connect in person?
you did it last year
?

they invited me to the virtual thing
not good enough to get an umbrella
oh no
do you know anyone whos done imc hardware
not talking about that connect
they have an info session type thing called connect
yeah
is that useful?
or nah
pdt gave hackerrank
shaw can too

idk what pdt is
well i didn't know what any quant was before this year lol
oh if pdt is based off morgan stanley
why is it a great place to work?
isn't ms a bad place to work
or is it a diff culture
my friend got fast tracked for google research
he was part of a google research mentorship program
my friend is higher up at google AI i should apply
idk what they would ask tho
lol
IEEE better
roblox is insanely good bruh
id say its top 10 in terms of prestige
im deadass
great TC
good WLB
interesting stuff to work on
like if you get roblox a lot of stuff opens up
youre on crack
RE lowkey feast or famine
lol
CELL BETTER
neurips, icml, kdd are top
IEEE is fantastic
but neurips is next level
i feel that lol

let me guess
they rejected you?
after oa

lc impossible?
when apply?
βWeβve identified you as a qualified and talented candidate; however, our planning process is taking longer than expected, so we are unable to offer you a position with Amazon at this time.β
Damn, do you have past internship?
bich dont u have finance exp? why care about amazon
give it like a month or something theyre either done hiring or they have another wave in them
i have past internship, 3.39 gpa, and t50 school and referral but havent gotten a call back in 30 days. i think they might be doing another wave soon tho
full (full)
yea
they arent full
itβs just backlog
@sleek pike ignore sushi
heβs this annoying AI
yea im pretty sure its a backlog

cries in 2300 post tax every 2 weeks
conspiracy
process two sigma offer
Noo

they knew you had roblox?
oh
yeah hundred percent a guess
if you got into js interview pipeline
you got a ro
63??
might be considering the housing stipend or something in a ddition
or they might've decided to open up wallets
because amazon nyc is 79/hr
if you include housing
so i think they might've done something like that
GL 
just rejected capital one
everyeone adds it to boost the pay
theres no way its 80
120
right
monthly/173.33
most companies list monthly or biweekly
should that be enuf for chicago
idk
yo yo
yo
what was your offers housing
did they tell you
ah
solid
did the ytell u about the food quality tho
lol
shit
im sure
but good as fallback
i dont midn breakfast
LMAO
you know where the offsite will be this year?
doesn't cit give corporate housing?
if so idt you can count that in the pay
companies that conflate pay and housing usually give cash
yeah ofc
i haven't gotten the offer yet π
i'll lyk next week
wen offer?
they're solid but they're still dorms
c1 corporate housing supposedly a hotel
and a nice one
c1 doing everything to get good tech talent lol
lowkey they are doing this
LOL from when
oct 16?
i just rejected them
it should be the 16th
of october
theyre a partner
also apparently there's a way to convert c1 intern offer to ft offer lel
did you accept HRT yet
140 hr
@low vale why ping in location channel
idk thought it was funny
do you go to a t50 or some shit woah
you'll know me when i get in 
wait initials a p?
i think ik who u talking about
has to be
only person who got it from upenn
someone said last year HRT did
it was a "late and new position apparently"
said person also got pissed when I didn't ask about it at BIPOC lol
algo dev better
last
I'm sure you still need traders even if you're auto right?
no
at least not as many
ong
lol
so good
u need 2s slides
best color way
aqua and white
at HRT?
yeah i think so
i just meant in general
like they ask algo devs prob stat in the intervews apparently
and they also said that they can ask ML related if your resume is aligned that way
idk i feel hrt is weird
how is your gaussian elimination going
leballer
Fantastic

eliminating you from this conversation

delete
this isnβt sushi
stop
no block
i dont delete like @inner kernel
@inner kernel why delete

Bruh i lost hope on deepmind this year

linkedin lacking
aracnido
i mean its one of the only quant places in boston

oh i guess
how you know about like all of this lmaooo
wide variance
one has no bonus??
definitely false
anyone know if zoom OA is auto?
had 1 million stock or something
what thats weird
for paying 140 for intern
hmm
well still
all companies 100+ are paying 400k+ for their roles i think
SIG meaning SIG trading
based on final results?
or what
i guess performance on interivew makes more sense? idk
blind a different beast
This explains a lot. This sounds like something i would read in the server
Look if i get PIPβd itβs because they are racist
M1 air, no student needs anything else
blind really grounded me i always thought youd have to be steve jobs to get into those high level positions but after scrolling through the app theyre all more like mcafee
what is 2s interview like
bean_pancakes asks: test
1β£: 1
2β£: 2
3β£: 3
salat π asks: poll
Krishna Das β asks: mi espanol esta bien mala
bean_pancakes asks: test
