lacs are so fucking based
anw my school is not even have cs ranking last year
my professors dont even know my name 😭 and lac’s professors be having dinner w their students and inviting them over their place 😭
u learn in LAC ?
My school is ranked like 185
i mean its easier to have research opportunities bc of how close one can get to their professors
i go to a large research university thats what ive heard from friends
My school also doesn’t do research lol
im at one of the two chicago area ones whose cs program sucks but theyre good at everything else lol
lol ok anyone is doing leetcode weekly contest rn ?
that's hurt

northwestern
I literally came to my school to play a sport and now I got hurt so I’m kinda stuck here
Cs program is ass, I fuck around in class and wait last minute to do assignment and have a 4.0
nu is a waste of time 😭 i would be a leetcode god if i went to uiuc
they do data structures and algos in c++ ❤️ ❤️
Waterloo?
nu
no its not anymore
My school does Artificial intelligence in Prolog
apparently the other prof doesn’t do that idk
Ah ofc tenured mfs who have refused to move on to objectively better teaching methods
RIGHT banana man 
Just did a shitload of paperwork stuff bc going to the US is such a hassle 
everyday we lit
fr
rip pnb
Hello friend
fr based as fuck
no sorry
Ya all those
Okay
There’s a list online of all of them
Sorry, I'm kind of struggling to find this list, can you let me know where to find it?
pittcsc, apply like a real man
Omg thanks
FBU not happening this yr either
Ur goated, thanks
Obviously
Also Bank of America Global Technology, Microsoft new technologists,
Palantir PATH
P&g emerging leaders
is roblox full
I just received the Mastercard pymetrics
has anyone done it before?
what is it like?
do you just play it or is there some strategy to this lol
ok bet
thanks!
i got the invitation for this before i got the confirmation email for applying 😂
i have no idea wtf it is
Nah, but I go to a Canadian school lol
It seems like they are trying to test our reaction time
huh???
for selecting answers lol
not sure how this has anything to do with the job
I’m born and raised in the US tho
Also yeah when do u grad lol
You been here for a while
We’re some of the last ogs
fuck lc weekly contest
I hate it
I got 1 2 and 4
I don't know how to do 3

and how tf 2 hards in 1 contest
anyone else having trouble clicking the "submit app" button on the cruise intern application? https://getcruise.com/careers/jobs/4542553/
really ?
I spend like 3 min in problem 2
because I see the limi <=1000
💀
u got all the questions ?
bro
I understand that feeling
well

I will wait for predict rating change
how about o(n^2) ?
I mean it like u have to iterate through all subarray
to check that
class Solution {
public:
int subarrayGCD(vector<int>& nums, int k) {
int cnt = 0;
for(int i =0;i<nums.size();i++){
int gcd_val = nums[i];
if(gcd_val==k) cnt ++;
for(int j =i+1;j<nums.size();j++){
gcd_val = __gcd(gcd_val,nums[j]);
if(gcd_val==k) cnt ++;
//else break;
}
}
return cnt;
}
};
mine
bro these pymetrics games are 💀
mastercard ?
yeah
do you guys know any mentorship programs for freshman/sophomore
or sophomore programs
need them asap
@honest spire u know about any mentorship programs ot sophomore programs
Not rly it’s just RNG. I know 4 people who got G sophomore year just in my small social circle. So I imagine they take a lot of ppl
this is the way
3 step 1 SWE
getting started i see
Nope all Indian
i applied to google step
nah I feel like you gotta grind smart
didnt hear back
quality over quantity
3/day is good
and make sure you always whiteboard and treat them like real interviews
review the answers/discussions after whether you solve the problems or not
40/45 min is good time to quit if you are still clueless after that period
For STEP, I’m not sure I can ask my friends. For SWE they don’t care if you’re a sophomore or not they ask hards (that are not tagged).
did you clear final?
all 2024?
apple which team?
no but did you apply as class of 24
damn how much cracked are you as a freshman lol
bruhhhhh
.
Makes more sense
ok that makes sense
these interviews btw for even for a junior is hard to crack
you probably have more experience than actual juniors then
any offers yet for you?
idk some people don't do much leetcode and are just smart
I think 150 is a good number if they’re mostly mediums and like 50 hards
For general population
Ya
riske
250+ and you’re set unless you’re memorizing
i swear watching these cracked freshmens on this server makes me feel what was i doing with my life in my first 2 years of college
Everyone has their own path bro
After 2 years out of college yo can go whenever you want anyways
If you’re on this server you should know how to get big tech within 2 years
💀
Goku got banned too
that's insane
yes yes that's true
No way
Yeah
i just feel i would have been a much better spot rn if i got to know about this server even in my soph year
Ya but like if ur a lurker who goes on here a couple times a week you should know what LC is. When application cycles apply, etc
No, but I think of the 10k ppl that are active, some 60% know how to do it
i can't really tell how much info i have got from this server
that has set me for life
Agreed, but I think the knowledge is there. Putting in the work is a different story
like i don't feel i will ever stress about getting a job no matter where i go
60% of the hsers on this server are Goku alts
and even out of 60%, only like 5-10% have mastered it😎
I switched to CS literally my 2nd semester junior year and speedran apps and this server taught me so so much (like all there is to know tbh)
And still get return offer
Ya possible
trust me there is even more valuable info on this server if you jus read up past chats
like I spent one weekend some few months back looking up all the previous chats and i feel I know everything now lol
Towers of hanoi on pymetrics 
No u also gotta put in the “work”
I live 5 minutes from us-east-1
Data centers on east coast
In Ashburn, Virginia where I grew up
another one i have seen way more commonly as a intl student is that companies that sppnsor are biased towards us citizens
which is nowhere close to the reality
Lmao
so a lot of my intl friends at school don't even try applying to companies like nuro, stripe, asana, etc
Well ya bc it costs them money to sponsor
Which sucks for the student
hail of blades
you know what the cost is? $10
lol
yeah no cost for sponsoring but applying for H1B every year per applicant is $10
fb 
wait which hft was it?
i am surprised he went through the complete process with them
Ya fair
akuna sponsors f1 visa students FYI
the closest anyone in MA will get to a real beach..
oh yeah G over Akuna seems like a obv choice for intls
Ya
nvm fought this hard for nothing
just because G can send you to any other country in case you don't get h1b in 3 years
but not sure where akuna would send their employers outside US💀
Exactly
Is MSFT not frozen for interns?
they prob thought u were ddosing
All us new grads got reject
Cause u refreshed so much
this is only my 7th time checking today
no
Nice
theyre just keeping me in limbo to prolong my agony
what was like the akuna tc if you are fine sharing of your friend
This was for intern
i am asking cuz i will be targetting some hfts next season
But he was making decisions as if he would get the full time
Intern was 85 I think
U can check levels for intern and ng
oh okay, I wanted to see like other firms, did akuna increase their TC from 200
Ya idk just check levels for offers in like the past month
yes yes but this season lot of HFTs have increased their TC
which is not updated on fyi.levels
How is it not
Just look at offers in the last month
Thats the most recent data available
bruh u are M3
I'm M2 and still pending
what kind of internship do you need to have a good standing for faang new grad
can it be any internship
return offer from faang ?
probably any company that is known, but the better the company, the higher the chances
as long as the conditions aren't like this year
like for imc trading i see so many data points ranging from 225 to 365l new grad tc
this is all recently shared as well
💀
which is why it may seem like 225 is the offer everyone gets and then people negotiate
sushi is lil they get a pass 🙄
first and maybe last
but that isn't really the case
levels does fuck that up sometimes
india, why?
ah makes sense
its too hard to get one rn
its rough i sent 170 apps and only got 3 interviews
yea for this year, pretty much no faang is hiring for ng
yeah so basically i can't know what the base offer is after seeing so many different data points
first time is usually hard
united health group, lutron electronics, and mathworks. but mathworks rejected after phone
i realised this after seeing 2 friends of mine getting similar offers for imc that fyi.levels sometimes isn't taht accurate as i thought it is
were you guys able to get any offers
m3?
bruh what company is this
Read the transfer application
which company?
they instant rejected me lol
prob don't sponsor
btw krishna which big companies have you interviewed with so far or are in process with rn?
oh wow that's a craze lineup
asana which round?
what was your codesignal score? i submittted like 726 so not expecting much lol
oh damn when did you submit and hear back?
i submitted like yesterday
Are u MIT m
it was i think 18 but i asked for extension as i was busy with some other work
yeah i think i made that mistake
but i am just getting started on lc grind so i am a bit scared to give it early
oh did the recruiter tell you that?
what is our window lol
not the same as the one mentioned in the email
yeah
how did you get to know al slots are filled?
also you asked for extension on oa like me?
or did it before 18
?
Anyone here got an interview from BINANCE?
Sushi what’s your favourite type of sushi

no way you dont leave without one
its insanely easy
amz tho
possibly free
question mark
the curse of applying in september
2 months+ no update lol
could there be any negative consequence if I mention I have a pending offer? I know it will accelerate the process, but I don't see what's stopping me from mentioning that every time to get a response sooner
so why doesn't everyone do this already?
so if I am 2-3 rounds away and if I mention that I have an offer due in 1 week, would they just blaze through my application process?
hmmm ok
thanks 🙂
amazon bros 
the promised land awaits
no i have final but its not scheduled
nothing remote
im only accepting remote offer
no
summer
they do
nah its whatever
but yeah i think amazon i would get if they actUALLY SCHEDULED MY SHIT
maybe
no lmfao
huh
this has been a terrible season for me lmao i have applied to about 20 companies
its deadass so terrible
im glad though i get to do shit i actually wanna do
its niec
my amazon final was so weird
thank god im not interested anyway
he had me simulate a deck of cards
that has 1) shuffle 2) pick_card()
i didnt know why we needed shuffle at all
Anyone who already got an interview at Google EU?
yeah i just did a list of range(0,52)
and then pick random index each time
but the problem statement was literally 1 sentence
nah he was like let me paste in the question
and he pasted "create a deck of cards that you can shuffle and choose a card from"
thats it LOL
Lmao
Thats hella funy

Cs major rankings. Thoughts?
yeah i bet there are cracked ppl there
prob cracked ppl at every school
yea no matter what
wait what happens if u send an unproctored codesignal to a company that requested proctored? does it allow it or do u need to take proctored and unproctored?
it doesnt allow to send the score iirc
is there a cooldown from taking an unproctored that rolls over to proctored tho? so should i just take proctored to be safe?
yo
Lol what’s the ranking based on
google swe or bridgewater IE?
cali lowkey be having ivy league candidates in their community colleges no cap
bridgewater
why? bridgewater culture doesn't seem the best and the pay increase seems marginal compared to the increased stress/hours
for intern?
if you want quant, id consider bridgewater more, i think itll open the same or more doors
if not then google
hey I posted my resume in #1033706717160161351 if anyone would be kind enough to share an opinion


what happened to palantir
:scgbigsad:
i didn't get it 

but tbh i dont mind their process be kinda long lmao
didn't really know that prior to this year lol

@hearty river you still have a dogesmile reaction up there
hoping i can hear from msft or amzn soon. i would be dope to have a final for a Big-N
glgl

ye i would
nice
i wish bruh
haha
ye its not too bad tbh
you are there i am here
have you ever been?
i have visited like 4 times but the last time was 10+ years ago
yeah for intern and wanting to do quant in the future
i got family in florida
ohhh cool
yeah then id consider bridgewater - google is great too
doesnt bw pay more by a lot
~45k for the summer for ie, not sure hm google is
time to get shot 
That’s phd intern most likely
Regular is like 56 or 58
Gotcha
Mfs just wanna flex instead of actually being helpful 
wagons are you in G process rn
yes you get paid 58 bucks for the entire summer
LOOOOOOL
Yeah team matching for summer 23
nah but fr tho 58k for the whole summer
bruh usa TC for interns be crazy
No 58/hour
OOOOOOOOOH
wtf thats insane
nah that was my mistake
but arrowstreet mfs be makin that lol
levels says google is 11k per month so 33k for the summer?
misunderstood the convo
Only people who were reached out to by recruiters got guaranteed match but I wouldn’t take it even if I got it
bruh
Bc for guaranteed match you gotta take your first match
So I could be placed in bumfuck Wisconsin

hahah rip
ew
Hmmm interesting tho two datapoints for 2023 say 64/hour
And neither mention phd
Did goog finally step up their game 
Bc phd last year was 64/hour
i would be surprised tbh, they usually have the chance to lowball cause of their name and rep
maybe they started to realise all people care about is tc

Amazon stayed the same iirc
tbh tho, with all these companies they will get hella applicants regardless
no need to increase TC regularly
i wish google would send me an OA for once
what was the process like before the system design round?
oh I meant like how many rounds
was it phone -> virtual onsite (2 tech interviews) -> and now final (system design round)?
I am currently in the virtual onsite stage
which is why asking lol
could help retain talent maybe
what happens in an hr round?
oh is it on the same day as onsite if I move forward?
oh okay thx!
btw did bb lc tagged help for onsite?
@fading siren
Also how many questions in total did you get fir both tech interviews?
2 each in both interviews?
do you have a herman miller at lockhead?
Did anyone get Confluent HackerRank email but not link with email?
The hackerrank link was sent separately for me
But almost at the same time as the other email
same
Has anyone received OA for Amazon SDE Co-op USA - Summer/Fall Term?
What's the difference between https://www.amazonuniversity.jobs and https://account.amazon.jobs/
For a Co-op position when I first clicked on apply, it redirected me to amazonuniversity.jobs last month but now when I click on the apply button for the same position it redirects me to account.amazon.jobs.
Do I need to fill my application in both of the portals or what?
same
Yea still havent gotten hackerrank link
opinions on nextdoor?
This is my first time in this channel in like ever
I am in REDACTED
For business trip @gentle latch
@gentle latch look
REDACTED.png
Some offices have avocado an salsa
Makes it 10x better
Anyone know gsoc ?
good question
is this a company u care about
have to be strategic about this then
List strong ones
Dont list white castle
They wont care about that last point ever imo
If it was up to the strong companies, they will take the strongest candidate
why do they show up when i want to share something i dont even interact with them
Yeah it’s fine
too much discord 💀
If u wanna be a buster and have an interview tmrw at mcdonalds then say u have interviews this week
To accelerate stuff
“I have interviews this week, including Palantir, HRT”
Cuz i mean what are u trying to get out of this lol
The only point is to move faster
Oh ok yeah just answer
frrrrrrrrr
bruuuuuh damn
gl with the phone tho, hopefully it gets scheduled
i still be waiting on amazon






final or initial screen
yea
Anyone do snackpass OA?
That subreddit is toxic
meta has returning interns?
Yeah but I am yet to get a reply
They asked me to fill out another form after doing an OA
I am hoping my 100% on OA helps
no i got offer for expedia
So what's the expedia offer this year look like
$45-$51/hr with no other benefits
maybe some relocation assistance but not sure
yup
only listed benefits are 401k + employee discount
employee discount lmao
Lol
So basically internships this year are fucked
They’re hiring a lot less from what I see
Last year there was so many positions open
this tbh, here in the uk there is very few applications open. tbh usa seems like it has a tonne
ya cuz the tech industry is mainly in the us
some guy told me a meta recruiter said they could be opening apps in november tho
I got my internship as a freshman in April last year
this was uk tho, no clue about us
tech*
quant is doing alr i think
At a decently sized corporation in Silicon Valley
Quant is tucked next year when stock market is going to crash
tbh i would say its already crashed 
Same
same same lol
and crashing* 
Yeah same
I was 2:2😭
I got 1 interview and I passed that interview for offer
im 1/1 we’ll see abt amazon
This year I have 1 interview at branch.io
I am not sure about Crowdstrike
Or Cisco
im 4:1 /;
but still waiting to hear back from a few
5:3 is really good i feel like
anyone did final for expedia recently that chose chicago?
still havent heard back 🥲
bro I applied so many companies only 1 interview
And 3 oas
It’s probs my resume
I don’t have any metrics
OAs are good if u don’t have to do a technical interview again I suppose
tbh i should total up how many i actually done cause i lost count
frrrrr everywhere i had oa's tho have had multiple rounds after

When does electronic arts actually start recruiting
I applied like 15 positions in their company
!problems Palantir
!problems can only be used in #leetcode-bot
growl i must have linkedin.
bro growled online
Ddog or LinkedIn
is career growth = promo?
arent you cracked
for linkedin ill do anything.
i dont like the bay area lol
yeah imo
heard theres a lot of people shitting on streets
its boring
i live here and interned here and its not the worst for sure but it doesnt live up to some hype that it gets
i guess there is pretty good food if you find it
same
want to go one morning without someone twerking in the subway asking for spare change
NYC NYC
nyc for the experience for sure
only apple pay is in nyc tho the teams are so small over there so it'll be hard to laterally move over there 😦 lol
im from chicago and i cant drive
nyc is the only place i can live in without getting depressed
this goes for any city but the magic fades real quick
rtp as in nc right
why
i was there this year it was quiet and lowkey
oh lmfao
bro every time my uber driver dropped me off they all told me to be careful cause it wasnt the safe part of town
bruh thats scary
being dropped off in an area you might not know well and u hear its unsafe
nyc looks like it has some good ass food tho
and nice to watch sunsets
near the water area
halal food carts where the owners dont wash their hands got the best food in nyc
did you intern at fidelity this year
asked my fidelity manager when i was there in aug if the company is gonna lay people off soon and he said the companies recession proof
mf where
they in a big van with a sliding window
infidelity
the city smells like trash 3 days of the week we not the most concerned abt hygenics

for where
the restaurants that are dirty inside and cheap af always hit the hardest
fideltiy isnt fully remote
idk if they have remote let me check company blind
sf has gay people and black people so there is no homophobia or racism
how about that charlie
sf is pretty diverse
you only have to go in 3 days a month and they dont even check
but you can apply for remote tho
fucked up
North Carolina 
fid pay is peanuts unironically but the wlb is heavenly
still not settling for them
yea IG
dude on my team said last minute during sprint "btw im taking 2 weeks off" and the lead was like ok have fun
theyre insanely chill i didnt work more than 30 minutes a day
and got managers recc
i wonder what the average ratio of hours worked to something like how much pay you're willing to give up is
yoooo I got socks 😭
i didnt word that properly but ya'll know what i mean
does gusto call to reject
youll be fine
krishna u'll be good you're a freshman
p sure uc's are heavy research based and most profs will always have something for you to work on if you approach them
yea for sure
oh yeah i didnt mean just in the summer
i meant in general
doomer
considering offseason internships i think i can snag smth good
wdym by that 
approach math professor who helped prove twin prime conjecture, tells me i need 3 more years of math courses to understand his research
damn
there's a really good prof at my school who lets undergrads do sick projects
lotta distributed and big data stuff
pretty unique projects from what ive seen
damn
theres a professor that does research on stochastic processes
i want to take his class and talk to him next quarter
but im worried that i got a b+ in his first class that he might not want me
my goal was to do a research project after hopefully getting an offer this season
but idk if im gonna want to chill or not
prob depends on what the project is
i wanna learn distributed systems stuff and i think we have an elective on it
you have time to figure it out at least
destroy it or do it
yea its only half way through the semester so far
LMAO
amazon come in clutch this next week 
i think the prof at my school just asks for resume
and project experience
and then he usually has something for you if you're interested
super chill
they actually asked you questions
my final was the vice president talking about his bike shop for 30 minutes
shortest path always bfs 🙂
LMAO
that reminds me one of my friends last semester for his final round with the company he interned at
they talked about the warriors
and the basketball game the night before LOL
just kept asking him abt it so we had less time to do anything else and he was clearly passionate
yes
its not rreally an interview
just confirm info and tell you to wait a month to hear back
like imc
i swear arrowstreet only hires like 3-4 interns a year
I heard the wlb sucks
they just decided against finance/quant environment?
Boston 
yea theres really nothing i need to know rn im just reading the shit you guys go thru
besides when fall apps open
gotcha
i wonder if the levels fyi nego feature is worth it
tbh i never discussed arrowstreet in here before. i assume their technical interview is like second to none in difficulty lmao
its a few grand
Is anyone else still waiting to hear back from Doordash after the OA? 
nathan

Today was quant/swe

Good food too
the UK people be in here, they be harder to find tho 
frrrrrrr
i wanna go US tho so i guess that makes me a wannabe US bozo

when using heaps in coding interviews, can you use pre-built/built-in functions or do you need to create a class and implement the code ourselves
you can use prebuilt
like import heapq
heapq.solvetheproblem(*args, **kwargs)
instant win condition
^
Haha
Good luck implementing a heap in an interview
If that isn't even the main problem
i pronounce kwargs as "kuh wargs"
q wargs yea
🤝
cant wait to reach endgame and never think abt the rat race again
