Now MET…

MET kids r insane

most of them are regents

#

I just randomly jumped in and it doesnt seem like a waste if u get something productive out of it. But if it makes u feel insecure yes it’s a waste.

#

Nobody even mentioned the word prestige

hardy patrol

why are you on here its the weekend

I’m #1

i mean prestige does carry some value in resume screening

also my friend is getting here at 5:30 so im just killing time for an hour noooo

#

Fair. They were talking who is cracked at what school etc which is kinda dumb but it’s ok to compare curriculums?

sick oar

#

i applaud

Now that i have a job i can see there is indeed some quality education people got that i didnt

And i understand why big N likes t10 kids

They are right to care. But not right to only care about it. If u are succeeding at a good school u should be very proud of urself

safe minnow

Agreed

Self fulfilling

torn gull
#

agree

but purely based on recruiting its hard to quantify that factor

school is substitutable by other accomplishments

#

Like sure maybe 30% of princeton CS is still dogshit and theory heavy idk? But HONESTLY even the dogshit theory by a 70yo professor is useful for a job

#

This field needs thinkers

#

Genuinely, we need good thinkers

#

This just doesnt happen. It’s not a vacuum. Incubators for success will make a name for themselves

torn gull
#

lmfao

near swallow
#

Ok actually u have a point. I am a bit biased. Im in an infra team and the nature of this work absolutely requires your A game

#

There is no fooling around tbh

#

Product and frontend has a very high ceiling YES but also potentially a low floor

safe minnow

#

I work at meta on a developer CLI tool

phd floor too high 😔

answer is yes

#

Yes. U can take and do easy work on my team but it also just so happens that if u have a good background in “the fundamentals” you can do great things here

torn gull
near swallow
#

You can improve performance; demonstrate it, make it integrate better with other services. And yeah that does require thinkers. U cant just like type code haha and hope it works if that makes sense

DSA, OS, tech stack specific knowledge (we use rust)

#

The last thing gets fixed easily just read a book

#

Networks

sick oar
#

spoken by a man who goes to a t20 😹😹😹

muted summit
#

what are the best resources to learn OS and networks?

#

been focusing on DSA for a while and wanna expand the knowledge thanos

near swallow
#

Like it’s actually kinda crazy that if you really did implement a FS in your OS class then u would be a good fit for my team

@honest spire i wonder if id be able to go straight to this without reading anything beforehand HAHA

jaunty cove
#

dont almost all os courses use ostep

May I ask where you attend?

Oh wait nvm I remember you

Rust thanospog

Rather do be C++ for now tbh

jaunty cove
#

MULTITHREADED (DATA RACE SAFE) CLI TOOL IN RUST (MEMORY SAFE LANGUAGE)

safe minnow
#

Of course

#

Start by using the unsafe keyword

halcyon wedge
#

Are you using the clap crate?

#

It's actually insane

#

I love how Rust just makes you think about everything line you write

#

Yeah

#

At least you are guaranteed(ish) that you won't break anything too badly when it does build

jaunty cove
#

.unwrap().unwrap().unwrap()

somber solstice
#

rust seems cool

#

ill learn it soon

#

after data science stuff

#

:D

halcyon wedge
#

It just takes some time to understand it

#

But it actually takes many great things from other languages

#

Monads for example

#

Are god tier

jaunty cove
#

i think its logical but it has a different perspective on things compared to other languages which makes it unintuive at firsts

halcyon wedge
#

It definitively requires you to program differently

stable spire
#

if ur mentor uses rust 99% of the chance they got buttfucked by c/cpp or some other language so they're more humble

What’s generally preferable between Tiktok and LinkedIn SWE internship?

I'm guessing you're soph? take your time lol

safe minnow

Wtf

Is jump trading’s interviews heavily OS based

Drink and chat with us

frigid gate

I have never drink alcohol gladge

safe minnow

Oh, I have similar reasons as you, but I view the consequences as something that’s matter of fact rather than something to be afraid of

jaunty cove

i could not figure out the graph dp on the contest in time

willow plinth

does stripe have quota for school (cannot take more than some number of interns from one same school)

safe minnow
#

safe minnow
#

but i wanna be the first

safe minnow
#

Hmm

half spindle
#

it’s not

#

but it’s just so awful

#

the documentation

#

i have no idea what im supposed to be doing

#

it took two weeks to onboard and set up dependencies

safe minnow
#

Bruh lmao

#

Do you have a summer offer already

half spindle
#

at FB it took me an hour

half spindle
safe minnow
#

Oh nice

it’s a startup

#

safe minnow

For some reason someone put a 17k salary for that company

#

half spindle

#

YO THE MARTA GOES HARD

#

@sleek pike do u marta????

safe minnow
#

That sounds like hell

half spindle
#

so i have to atart bugging the PMs

#

and they don’t know what it is

topaz drum
#

Heard pm in amazon is non technical

half spindle
#

so they take 3 days to talk to my manager about the intern project

topaz drum
#

They will just bug u to do things quickly so they can have a good report

half spindle
#

because they didn’t know what the project entailed

#

i don’t think so at the time of applying

Exactly

safe minnow
#

I wonder if people internalize the principles that a company has over time

oblique surge
safe minnow
# oblique surge wdym

Like yk how every company has these values you're supposed to regurgitate during the behaviorals

#

I wonder if people start believing in them after working there for a while

oblique surge
#

oh, I think they do. Since people are generally tend to be social creatures. When you "hanging" around certain social circles in certain social environments it becomes hard to not be influenced by the ideas of that environment.

#

same shit with company values

#

the longer u work there the longer you are in that environment...

#

There could be exceptions however.... Like if company only "upholds" those values on paper then it all doesn't matter... However, if company kindly reminding about their values on the daily basis then yeah, I think people will unironically start to believe in them.

safe minnow
#

Yeah it’s a thought on how malleable the human mind is

oblique surge
#

To be fair, some people don't mind that at all and quite expect it when they sign up for some jobs. I mean, I would not want generalize everyone but I, personally, would not care as long as they pay me and I'm not breaking law or will be in any way, shape or form fucked over by the government. Most likely the reason why I'm that way is because my family has never been rich or anything like that, so when I see an opportunity to greatly increase monetary status, I don't mind jumping right in lol. I guess I have no moral standards...

safe minnow
#

It sounds like you have your own set of morals that do not strictly follow conventional societal ones

oblique surge
#

yeah, I just care more about my family and close ones than about everyone else

safe minnow
#

It's not an uncommon moral set of standards that people usually respect

oblique surge
#

It depends on the perspective

#

they are not per se but they eventually are all created in the way to make you a better corporate slave KEKW

#

"corporate slave who brings profit"

#

well, what if you are a "good corporate slave" in Raytheon ?

#

That's where brainwashing comes into play. Like when you work on ML algo for guided missiles you should not be in the pink bubble thinking that your work will only be used for the "right cause". This way of thinking will be hurtful as soon as you find out the truth. However, if your mindset is already set on "well, so what?", then it's all good.

#

I wasn't speaking about you personally. More like in general regarding how people usually get into those companies and naively think that everything they do is for the "greater good"

heavy magnet
#

almost no company do anything for 'good'

oblique surge
#

Hell, it's not even about defense companies

#

have you heard about warehouse workers in Amazon?

heavy magnet
#

its ass

oblique surge
#

I mean, I don't think there are much companies that "directly hurting"

#

usually those organizations are labeled as "terrorists" KEKW

#

What in your opinion is a list of good companies consist of?

#

those companies most likely "leave you" (somewhere in the desert) not the vice versa 🤣

i think summer is basically full if you're not already in the pipeline

safe minnow
#

Roblox is halfway full apparently, no idea how when they’re jam packed with interviews every day

summer sequoia

I have been waiting 3 weeks

Post final

mystic depot
uneven sand
#

you're probably fine if you're in the pipeline

#

they did the same thing with winter

#

once they had enough people with final rounds, they stopped giving them out

summer sequoia
#

How long did you wait?

#

3 weeks too?

uneven sand
#

2 weeks after final

summer sequoia
#

F me then

uneven sand
#

they're probably trying to find you a team

#

i doubt they would've kept you in this long if you didn't pass the interview bar

summer sequoia
#

What if they don’t find one for me

mystic depot
#

longest i ever waited for process is - 3-4 months from OA to hirevue 💀

uneven sand
#

you're rejected

summer sequoia
#

Reject?

uneven sand
#

yea

summer sequoia
#

Ohh

Well I hope I find a team then

🧢

uneven sand
#

you have to get high up to make a decent amount (still less than an average swe) and its hard bc companies don't have many recruiters

somber solstice
#

according to levels at least

uneven sand
#

like a 1k employee company probably has <10 recruiters

#

why tf do they have 40 recruiters

jaunty cove
#

rage mode

uneven sand
#

that's more recruiters than intern spots

jaunty cove

Why'd you email 40 recruiters?

Guys I’ve managed to apply to companies in logn time

summer sequoia
#

0(1) would get you offers

ivory ocean
#

Strat: only fill out the first name and submit

#

If the recruiter doesn’t know who I am by first name, it’s not a company I care about anyways

jaunty cove
#

O(n/100) is still O(n)

ivory ocean
jaunty cove
#

Log(n) amortized

uneven sand
#

google's so lazy

safe minnow
#

I do it in iterated log time

uneven sand
#

they're reusing their halloween google doodle

ivory ocean
#

Are you implying that my strat is O(n) Colin

#

Because you don’t understand that once I fill out my first name for 1 app, I can copy and paste it to multiple thus reducing the operations sufficiently

#

Alternatively, I can use a multithreaded script that handles 2^n tabs at a time where n is the amount of times I’ve submitted

somber solstice
#

i think applying to internships by season is actually O(1) because it's bound by # internships

#

:D

ivory ocean
#

Omg

#

He’s onto something

jaunty cove
#

I have O(0) offers

somber solstice
#

by definition it's O(1)

#

since we can take the function f(n) = average time for app * n

#

but we have to min the function

#

with constant # of internships

#

so approaching infinity

#

hmmm

#

we shall do a rigorous proof :D

#

min function

#

:D

#

idk if this counts

ivory ocean
#

Okay so if internships are finite then yes, it is O(1)

#

However, assuming internships are finite is assuming that the tech industry will someday die

#

Now you can argue about the heat death of the universe

somber solstice
#

by season is key

#

:)

ivory ocean
#

But I believe that FAANG will manage to move into other habitable universes in the hunt for infinite growth, so that their stocks continue growing

ivory ocean
#

But what happens when we consider the infinite multiverses with their own tech industries that have internships as well

somber solstice
#

ahhhhhhhhhhh

ivory ocean
#

Then for any given season, the number of internships approaches infinity.

And idk about y’all but I’m not satisfied if my Algo is contained to just one universe

jaunty cove
#

sir, the question was, find the maximum element in an array

#

im not sure where youre going with this

somber solstice
jaunty cove
#

quantum computer headass

dense tinsel
#

show me the left and right hand limits pls

ivory ocean
# dense tinsel show me the left and right hand limits pls

If we assume that the number of internships in a given season in a universe is a finite number ‘n’, then the total number of internships across all universes is c(n)

Given that the hypothesis specifies that the number of universes is infinite, then we take the limit as c approaches infinity

#

We find that the function c(n) approaches infinity

#

Was that satisfactory

Actually that's normal. It's not automatic, I never heard back either with an OA or anything and I applied months ago.

Maybe, salesforce is rolling the OAs out

obsidian olive

That’s fair

#

I just feel like it depends on the company

torn gull
#

lmfao

obsidian olive
#

Ye

#

But I’m thinking from an RSU perspective

#

Ye but not all companies come crashing down

#

Hype is rly important for startups

honest pilot
devout jewel
#

Yea

honest pilot
#

Damn everyone be getting tagged

honest pilot
#

is this the same list as LC prem?

obsidian olive
#

Yea but I’m talking bout RSUs they’re just given to u until they vest so u can only rly have decisions on it after they vest

marsh brook
#

Didn't get rejected but didn't any response either

obsidian sedge
#

i thought salesforce was just mad quick

uneven sand
#

no

obsidian sedge
#

my resume isn't very good

uneven sand
#

I got offer and I didn’t even give them my resume

#

I just sent them a cat gif

obsidian olive
#

Ik I don’t think we in disagreement

obsidian sedge
#

i will say though, the team match that i got was extremely fast and it seems to align perfectly with my last internship, so that could be a factor

#

that they saw the perfect match and rushed my process

uneven sand
#

think of RSUs as a bonus that depends on company performance

obsidian olive
#

Also here I didn’t mean to invest in hype I meant more so that’s the reason why startups become overvalued

burnt spoke
#

lol ur a fresh

uneven sand
#

startups need hype

#

investors didn’t care as much about financials bc cash was basically free in the last decade

obsidian sedge
#

whats the definition of a startup

#

a company that isn't ipo'd yet?

#

is stripe a startup for example

thick hare
#

i thought the airtable was auto

uneven sand
#

I wouldn’t call stripe a startup lol

#

I’d say anything below unicorn

obsidian sedge
#

huh, i always called startups like companies that are very small, maybe just one office location trying to break into the industry

#

stripe is more of a unicorn i think

uneven sand
#

stripe is a unicorn

obsidian sedge
#

then again whats the definition of a unicorn

#

I see

#

So unicorns are also startups, but not all startups are unicorns

real sedge
#

Stripe was a hecacorn

uneven sand
#

unicorns are pre-ipo and worth at least 1 billion

real sedge
#

Now it is a decacorn

#

🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽

uneven sand
#

I wouldn’t really call a unicorn a startup

real sedge
uneven sand
#

if a company is worth billions, it’s usually pretty established

real sedge
#

Like Stripe isn't really small enough to be a startup

uneven sand
#

you don’t become worth billions in 2 years

real sedge
#

Drata for ex

uneven sand

ok that’s special cases

Why did HRT drop from nearly $100/hr for summer 2022 to $72/hr for summer 2023 when all the other competitors (arrowstreet, jump, optiver, jane street) went up?

Did they perform really badly this year?

jaunty cove
#

Is it real data or from levels fyi?

safe minnow
#

That may or may not be real

uneven sand

i think it's a typo

they probably meant to say 172/hr

or maybe 720/hr

void radix_sort(std::vector<int> &vec) {
    int i, exp = 1, n = (int)vec.size();

    auto it = std::max_element(std::begin(vec), std::end(vec));
    int max = *it;

    std::vector<int> b(n, 0);
    while (max / exp > 0) {
        int box[256] = {0};
        for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
            box[vec[i] / exp % 256]++;
        for (i = 1; i < 256; ++i)
            box[i] += box[i-1];
        for (i = n-1; i >= 0; --i)
            b[--box[vec[i] / exp % 256]] = vec[i];
        for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
            vec[i] = b[i];
        exp *= 256;

the fact taht this sorts a vector is insane

factual smactual dude

jaunty cove

i think doing DS&A in C++ makes sense, doing it in python would enable you to avoid a lot of thinking

for interviews obv python is best

this guy was complaining about python radix sort implementations and then the guy who wrote python sort responded
