ok did any1 do optiver swe technical phone?
Still worth a shot tho it sucks to send 300 holy shit
@sinful locust
actually not that bad
nothing just felt like bothering you swiss boi
how was optiver swe phone?
very easy
lol really?!?!!
wtf
Ur dms gg
good shit tho
idk
Do amazon subsidiaries blacklist you if you renege? Would it hurt my chances if I try and apply to regular amazon?
amazon oa not impressive lmao just answer the question
i feel like i answered the behavioral questions well, and i crapped on the technical question, but im not confident that i explained myself cohrenetly enough
did you take DSA
do you know how to implement basic data structures
if so then do not stress
okok ty
ty baller
i also crapped on sig and akuna oas but i feel like ima get screened
poop pipeline
my microsoft portal doesn’t work gir doesn’t say offer
google probably filled a lot with return offers and them giving out so many guaranteed match offers early this year
isn't it to fill the spreadsheet
@rigid bronze literally nobody has any idea what you’re talking about 😔☹️
damn
what is Mathworks hiring bar like for the technical interview?
bold ask
i think it's just a raw count of how many times people processed each stage
imo only interview and offer counts are useful
so you can see if people are getting interviews and offers
if you tell them to speed up my final result sure 🙏🙏
nah i’m jk i’ll hear back sometime this week
i’m just impatient
Send cats
bruh this shit got me realizing i aint getting shit this year
auto offer
does anyone know how long samsara takes to respond after my first interview 😭
they taking a bit im ngl
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
I am getting pretty good at leetcode
pog
not sure how I feel about this interview. I kinda bombed the coding portion
but the behavior, I think I did really well
what interview?
roblox
oh gl
how much do you guys think technical portion matters
in regards to the entire application
do I still have a chance if I couldnt solve the problem

depends on how hard it was
it was not hard. It was like stupid 
if its a harder question and you explained well, then it might be enough
I almost got it, but the interviewer was not pleased

I got his email tho, he said I could ask him questions
cause we ran out of time
second part sounds very bad
tech
how do you know he was not pleased?
how unpleased
he wasnt convinced that my solution was correct
like was he angry with you
no he was not angry
oh
oh
bad wording
he made me try more testcases
which I ultimately failed
my solution was O(n^3)
🤡
hopefully it was burst balloons


oh wait you took the final?
not just explain and code, but getting judged as well
how'd you do?
i dont think so
I code, then explain what I did
i thought they missed it
i had the rescheduled one today
behavioral good
technical easy
not sure if i explained myself well enough on the technical question
sys design or lc?
I pray that behavior is worth a lot more
i was in your situation a while back with roblox
how long did you get to code for collin
behavioral was not worth more
i addressed the scalability question before he asked it and before solving the problem and the interviewer told me to focus on solving the question
20 minutes
damn thats kinda quick
yea
he asked 3 behavioral questions and some follow ups on those
its not on lc
i think it would be an easy or a medium
its a very straightforward concept
both
does amazon want u to explain while coding
or you explain after
nah in the final email it said something like
we're okay with you coding on your own or something like that
i dont remember
but while telling him my solution i started talking about caching results to avoid unnecessary recursive calls
lemme check
and he told me to just solve the problem for querying one node
a tree is a graph
bro was like 4 steps ahead the entire time
yes
During your interview, you are welcome to use whatever coding language you are most comfortable with, and you will have time to work through a solution before verbally answering the questions.
This is what it says
in the amazon interview
you should be explaining your solution
"you will have time to work through a solution before verbally answering the question"
thats what i was talkin about
yes but the description isnt concise
thats what it boils down to after asking like 5 clarifying questions
bc in google i was like talkin a ton LOL but im wondering if its diff for amazon
ill prob just try to be comfortable
in the amazon interview
fax
depends on questions, mostly the same
generally best practice to explain while coding, or at the very least pausing through each step to explain
just copy paste the solutoin and exit chime
dw about that
i don't want to fail google
^
tbh the quality of your responses for behavioral don't matter as much as if the interviewer vibes w u lmfao
crippling laziness really got me feelign some kinda way
ok yeah i gotta stop overthinking the behavioral
and just vibe with the interviewer
whats an indirect child like are you really just dfsing and counting how many nodes are in each subtree
i think my interviewer and i got along fine but he seemed kind of closed off
behavioral is literally just talking
the child of a child node also counts as an indirect child
thats what i usually do but i be hearing ppl have scripts and shit for amazon LP's 😭
lmfao same my amazon interviewer was stern and cold asf
doesnt sound difficult im praying for something like that
after they fucking send me the oa
people who do this are not humans irl
thanks for the reassurance
nice

intersting
i guess you dont have to make them your best friend
colin can i do 🙂
you guys making lp answers off the cuff or prepare a long ass list of possible questions and an answer to each
yeah just don't be a dick lmfao
thats all
like course schedule
word
course schedule is a good question
they dont give you "GRAPH"
man fuck course schedule
top sort makes it more straightforward
lmfao In this situation, I took ownership because I had a bias for action.
did you get the offer?
nope
f
how much of technical did you solve
2/3 followups
has stripe OAs come out yet?
if i haven't gotten one, does that mean I am not getting any?
im hoarding them all
what does this mean
how do follow ups work do they ask you additional questions on how to optimize a solution
i thought stripe wqas full
normally, for roblox it was 2 adjacent problems
wait really 😭
you had 2 problems?
what other companies do i still have hope for?
I was working on one
wacky

3
oh
they split mine into 3 parts
I think mine couldve been multiple parts

no
this is not good for my sanity
manifest
manifest
manifest
manifest
manifest 
also i realized i fked up the memory complexity on a follow up
before correcting myself
given that we cache N resutls in a hashmap
i said average case is O(N) but worst case is O(N^2) with hash collisions
but he said its O(N) because we dont have to worry about hash collisions
lol
no one worries about hash collisions
you're fine
also hash collisions are log(n) usually
they're not implemented as a linkedlist

usually as a tree
yea i wanted to be as explicit as possibl with worst worst worst case
Any tips for roblox behavioral questions?
Do they ask a q for each value, or is it generics questions?
Ty!
does the amazon referral work if i apply for another job?
Plz Shit on m resume
im about to apply to swe internships again for the first time in like a montj
Yo what does per annum mean in the letter
zon need to redistribute their warehouse workers into hr i need my oa
wheres meek
Like do they pay you that for the weeks you work
They say they will pay you X amount per annum for 10 weeks
So that's just divided on the weeks?
So like weeks in a year
the top 10% of warehouse workers get assigned to typing up the OA questions but they ran out
Not worth it if only because 2 concurrent internships on resume is sus
And u shouldnt lie on dates
It can be verified
LMAO
go for it
whats the score needed to pass databricks codesignal?
damn I guess it'll be just more pratice for me then
idk
i just didnt apply anywhere
for a long time
so i could put stuff on my rseume
@sick oar CONGRATS MAN
TY!!!!
AYO
I think I got this too
min diff, return the array of pairs
why

I've heard its extremely hard
My friend said he got 3D DP
last week's was hard
this one is different apparently
i mean the first two LC questions were relatively straightforward
but the 3rd one is 3d dp
Thnks
this mf copy pasted this in the amazon server too
LMAO
Stripe is full right
So true my fav deuteragonist
just got stripe OA like 3 weeks after applying
anyone know what its like
easy ? hard
dp? leetcode or web design
How long did it take for you to get the hackerrank link? I got an email from a recruiter saying I will receive one soon
Just a hunch but given how a lot of places are filling up and stripe is also a popular place to work at I’d assume this is the case?
multithreading do all
lol i wake up to like 2-4 rejections every morning
any time it says "Your application at" or "Follow up" i know its just a reject
How hard are Atlassian phones
If anyone did Atlassian phone plz tell
or DM
Help a senior here
i applied an hour ago
tbh i appreciate the rejections
it means they look at resumes before they send OAs
auto OAs are the worst
same
wdym
oh u get it emailed
after refruiter reachout
cringe
well ive been getting ghosted everywhere else
school ig
needa get zon
lol i got an interview and my status still hasn't changed 
no clue when they plan on updating it
like whats the point of the portal if its not updated with the most recent info


so i become hopeful and develop abstract attachments to a job that was never mine in a sick cycle of stockholm syndrome
@sinful locust
Lol 😂 so true so true

Yo
which one you'd guys take goldman sachs, cap one or oracle?
Oracle
fulltime is better
interested in finance so thinking gs to help later
well hoping to do more internships and get better paying internship for ft
cap1 or oracle
is cap1 really worth it tho? Oracles starting is like 180k
also cap1 and GS pay same level?
well even for intern, GS is like $50 an hour with 5k housing and shit
yr
yea
trader*
hoping to get quant investment team at gs
but wont know to spring
none of those companies are really quant feeders so you can just go with whatever
WAGONS
you don’t need gs to help with quant, they mostly just want big tech or other quants
hello Mr alt
Not necessarily true, most of the QT/QR I know started off as swe interns
as interns where?
You need a start somewhere
Anywhere from startups to other big tech
probably not at capital one
yeah I know that’s why I said
i doubt that having that on your resume will boost your chances
.
you could probably attribute it to other factors
yea so seems that shouldnt be a factor then when considering
well at least for these 3 companies i would argue all 3 are equally likely/unlikely to get you past a resume screen
I’d go with cap1 or oracle
which 1 is best for big tech resume screen though
hoping to get big tech for fall to help with quant summer after lmao
Would def say c1 over gs but idk about c1 vs oracle
Wait whend u apply to oracle?
I’d just pick the highest intern salary since you’re not going to any of those FT anyways
ight thanks
i applied back in like late august
Dam nice they still ghosting me
I have referral links from career fair they gave me too
u can still get ghosted after that 💀
i got ghosted as a sophomore when i sent my app w the links
is it worth tryna expedite citi quant analyst though? just got first round today so not sure i'd even have time but seems that would help more
does companies give extensions on offer deadlines usually or na?
Cap1 and oracle are p relative so as long as they don’t pick GS it’s fine
Personally I’d p happy with oracle/oci
And im p sure cap1 pays the most no?
@plain egret this dude stole your pfp
That’s racist
accurate
why do that? just do first year of college -> quant
so many useless steps there
also Robert how long after your last leadership did you get offer
I did mine wednesday and havent heard
alright guess I gotta wait a bit
so far at least
I know someone else who only did cs interview this year
and got offer
think he just got cs offer but they said he could get cit offer if he wanted but he has to meet with them
and he didnt want to do that
oh did you have cs offer call?
and then did all that shit
oh
this guy got an email just asking him when hes free to meet recruiter
then in the call she gave cs offer and then said all that stuff
@viral basin ^
oh that is interesting
last week had final round with citsec guy
tbh I did pretty bad on both the technical sections so i might get rejected outright (does that happen?) but idk
oh you're for ft?
he asked me like a geo probability q, a lc question, and some systems trivia
not hard questions
geo probability?
but kinda interesting
yeah I got trolled, both of them they were like "yeah not much technical" (the recruiter) and t ehn I got asked straight up leetcode in gboth
yeah its a probability question involving a shape
lmao what
it wasnt that hard
geogussr probability
yeah I got grilled by one dude on past internship project like in as much detail as my actual manager bruh and then leetcode :/
right now i'm prayge
i need this lol

citadel is cringe amazon better
ncr > amazon > cit > drw
its based on the number of people named gary at each company
didn't even reach amazon final lol, rejected after passing all test cases on OA
ok prayge
I would never
You get an offer?
heyyyy
IMPLYING AMAZON IS THE BOTTOM
amazon >>>> every trading firm
btw
K
i want to work at js to build character
yo
kotassium
thats gotta be fake as shit
youre telling me 0 signing bonus
and 252k target bonus
252k target bonus 
levels doesn't include unless you tell it to
fuck levels
My c1 recruiter is still responding to people’s c1 offer acceptance posts on linkedin
How ahout u fking schedule my interview its been 3 months


i got that default waitlist email from my recruiter before scheduling powerday
and i emailed her saying like yo is the headcount filled
and she sent me the default email a second time
Does amazon have a waitlist? I think my friend just got waitlisted.
salud
cute
It means you got blacklisted
i imagine thats all they said then never followed up
stop capping him
GOOD
this server is seattle
i got this too
when it could be socal....💔
wtf this early?
😦
they usually waitlist but more like february/march
source
who has beento seattle
Only clouds on this fine evening
according to some sources
source
for both ft and intern
source
for ft theyre waitlisting but cap on intern
bruh just go to the amazon intern discord
no thanks
oh
Are you returning to meraki
Or pursuing further opportunities
14?
does palantir call to reject?
yeah
alr
And ur an Amazon intern?
@burnt spoke u actually thought a 14 year old can get amazon intern?
what timeline are u in
what email
intern waitlist
people who work in HR are the most useless individuals I have ever met
deadass
happened to me once already not letting it happen again
you can get an internship at 14
a month ago people started spreading the same rumors
actually will not apply to capital one ever again because of this
fuck Capital 1
one calendar month
Well Michael sayman was FT at Facebook as a teenager
what happened
So yea there r cracked mofos
well yeah but nto amazon lol
i mean theres no source so idc
and they cannot get back to me in time
what happened
someone worked at quora at 14 (alexandr wang)
we arent all alexandr wangs, bud
17 lol
i was tech lead at google in high school
really?
i got into the final interview pipeline during the middle of the wave, my recruiter ghosted me for over a month and after 5-6 follow up emails, waitlisted me cuz others got scheduled before me
yeah
well actually magnum carlsen is better than you at chess when he was your age so you should never play chess
he didn't just work at quora, he was a tech lead
he moved to bay area in senior year for quora
chess speaks for itself
just give up if you havent gotten an internship by 13
tufff
if u arent getting an internship by birth
im hoping for an internship next year
are you even a true cs major
some stanford pre-college thingy
what do you think happens during HR job interviews
its not tufff, its stupid and im never gonna look in Cap 1 direction
actually fuck that company
my recruiter was really nice
they test how many template emails you can send in 5 minutes
the best ive known was shopify at 13 but hes also weird so L
could've just been ur recrutier
they try to see how incompetent you are
my theory is that they lock you in a room for two hours and thats the entire interview
you just have to sit at a desk with no stimuli for two hours
yea no i texted another recruiter and she got back to me in 1 day, but she told me she couldnt schedule me cuz waitlist
which was BS

I am this close to sending my linkedin recruiter a hate email about how her sorority at clemson is low tier
...
Ur on this server at 14 yo my dude
hes not joking btw
send it, she needs to get the memo
oh wait AFTER
I’m fckin 20
LMAO
no he meant to say before
yeah i have questinos related to CS CAREERS and im asking in the CS CAREERS discord
what the
me
@stable spire
YOURE 14???
BRO
its kinda funny how recruiters are all former sorority girls
bro go play outside
go play fortnite
LMAOO
ONG
all the quant recruiters
@sinful locust 0 defense mfer 
piss off
drw
like they go from the most desired people on campus to the bottom of the real world heirarchy
tactical move, they gotta make their process as hard as possible
what did he mean by this
huh
HR workers are at the lowest rung of the social ladder
nah they’re all super nice
need some connections
lol
normalize sending your recruiter posts from their alma mater SEC school's greekrank
Amazon unironically full
whats so bad about it
🤣
besides racism in acceptance
there’s another HSer here?
what
@cyan garnet
trail
hi
mfs really say "recruiters are the least desireable members of society" and then shoot them 300 emails 🤣
loser touch grass
time to leave the server
i am old now
If I give a recruiter A MONTH warning about my offer deadline and they can't make it they have just shown to me that they are awful at their job
Dracos -> ash -> this new kid
have any of you guys done pre-college internships and can help me with a few questions in DMs?
theres another one
after me
and before the new kid
since it doesnt tend to fit any of these channel categories
sure
yayy
@dense tinsel touch grass
just dm people from the process channels, everyone loves to help you out 😄
i vote for you
@sinful locust
the airpods are mad nice
especially @jaunty cove
Bro is going to be cracked by the time he hits colleged
i did 2
my internships in high school:
- amazon (have to start somewhere)
- netflix
trye
amazon sucks
feel bad for you
yea it was the worst
i couldn't even tell my friends about it bc they would laugh about how unprestigious i was
me unironically
why the heck are all stanford pre-college internships premed related
It’s copium only if you say it
why would you do it at stanford
just do an internship at nasa
its incredibly babied
the program is cool
Why cant i time travel to run my integration tests faster
they hire hsers i believe
I need to finish before i get laid off
ive also looked into NASA
oh 😦 why?
it’s babied
asf
i met a uw se kid at the hackathon this weekend

I did cssi when I was 17 (late bdy) but man’s starting at 14 🙃
💀
and edating doesnt count
bruh
CHILD ON CHILD CRIME WHATS GOING ON HERE 💀
Meta sucks rn but my team especially
i broke up with a girl i used to edate a few months ago - mega cringe
no more of this topic
meta stock go bye bye
Based on new grad friends a good chunk like maybe 15% just got shit teams
But hey i have a job at least
omg what’s up with kids these days holy shit
💀
I’m too old
cssi is pre-first year of college only
yes
I’m glad I was never this grass-deprived ever
i wanna do cssi

yep
good luck bro
i am not that grass deprived
i went out

how u gon get amazon
amazon oa is easy

im not your e-date dont dm me
hackathons are genuinely fun
yea fr if you put amazon internship they'll probably think you worked in a warehouse
and yes hackathons are fun
i am maintaining high 90 avg rn

@feral void what are the 5 internships that matter?
just have to apply to programs now
if you want to get into a good college, create a club (doesn't matter if people actually attend)
Any other prospect pinterns
clubs are dogshit ec
colleges eat it up tho
no im not kidding
mfw 0 ecs 
either i am around very cracked hsers
RSI and primes are insanely difficult and competitive...
bro do you go to paly or gunn
i am incoming president of a big non profit in bay area
idt it will help me much
or do you go to mv
just apply
but u were the one who said to do rsi or primes...
I used to shit but now I wait until after the OA ends
and those are the well-trodden paths...
yes
Ohh I see, gotta stand out more
gotcha
fr
College prestige overrated?
i agree but at the end of the day, the people that check boxes often do pretty well
Yes
^^^
u wanna be unique
no
but first u gotta check boxes
amazon waitlisting interns?
rumored
like i tried the unique route but a lot of my friends that just went after what looks good on college apps did way better even though they didn't really care about a lot of it
Mr goat 
No more nefews😢
tbh another thing u should do is spend less time here
late to the party
Where are you going next year 
imagine wagoat
Or do you graduate
its not worth it
but yes, waitlisting
Why would u care lol just go visit those mongolian kids and teach em CS already for ur resume, they will forget about u tomorrow
@burnt spoke you go to harvard? can i dm
how common are fall internships
you could do some stuff like yk apply side projects etc
