Yeah, kinda cringe
Bruh, the failed cases are due to details left out in the question
ffs
maybe theres a way to require verification
does bloomberg have free food
@near swallow why is sushi not banned yet
we got the 15 votes
clean sol
what is this supposed to symbolize
krishna das
this dude in summer process channel going super saiyan
not like i had a chance at hrt but fr
π§’
@honest spire the way the highway is my new bed tonight
Ur telling me someone can get sig, Arrowstreet, Optiver, hrt
hes lying lmao
damn
to be fair, if ur able to crack into one of them
its safe to assume u have a good chance of getting others
animal pfp szn
u need to be hella lucky tho
damn I'm so rusty
haven't touched lc for months
rust?
OS work in rust?

at this rate the only time I'll get to use rust is in uni for one of our courses
sounds contagious

you usually sacrifice one a lil bit unless you're cracked and get your offers super early
usually for big tech, you'll have a project outline and in the beginning you'll make a high level and low level design doc
just use info from there
I had all my points ready by like 6th week lol and didn't change anything
depends on the company, most projects at amazon for example are designed to last the entire 16-weeks
and stretch goals are usually additions to the project, nothing completely new
random q: how much do you all think school name matters past like the mit/stanford/cmu/berk
Why does everyone have list slicing in their names
like at what level does the difference drop off
like sure id imagine harvards pretty good
helps for quants and firms that are super conservative
thats about it
but wb mid-tier ivies like columbia or penn or smth
is columbia and penn worse than harvard tho?
id argue harvards mid
oh fr i dont really know LOL
i mean regardless its an ivy, the name recognitions insane
i think my schools barely t50 for cs
like i guess how would u compare smth like columbia to gtech/ut/etc
columbias better
prestige and name recognition is higher and it will carry u quite far
UIUC is like better than most ivies for cs tho
how good is like t50ish
like say my schools in the 45-50 section
would it even matter, cuz i think its basically the same thing outside of t50 right?
lets say like NCSU
hm i feel like mine would be like
guys do you not read r/csmajors: school doesn't matter at all
your berkeley degree is worthless
fr
lol r/csmajors is so copium
i cant stand reddit
its such a cesspool
but then again i visited 4chan
and it appeared to be way worse
soemhow
you are literally 14
^
- mit/stanford/cmu/berk
- princeton/caltech/cornell/harvard/uiuc/ut/gtech/umich
- rest of the ivies + other good cs schools
id say cornell, harvard, princeton, dartmouth, yale, brown, columbia are better than uiuc but not the rest
^^^
i feel so bad for you, it should be child abuse to be in this server before 17
for cs yale < uiuc
wtf ur 14???????
this server kinda reminds me of blind, not that thats a bad thing
same with dartmouth and princeton
yes
this server is blind but without the credentials and more gen z humor
is cornell, dartmouth and brown better than UIUC tho, UIUC has insane recruiting and name recognition for cs
i mean
sixfigr π
like if ur doing CS, UIUC is the type of place that feeds into quants
this server is a pipeline into blind
true esp in chicago area
yea but those people actually work in the industry
there's a lot of baseless opinions here framed as facts
but berk/cmu > other ivys?
are they discussing prestige thats usually a conversation equal in value to mopping the rain outside
that definitely didn't happen. no girl wants to touch π₯
Generalized Intensive Reinforcement Learning
bro these acronyms
bruh ivies for undergrad are goated
feeding like an 0/15 yasuo
i think @wary whale blocked me
once heard i was 14
ageist
why would you care abt cheating on some shitty classes your grandad died bruh
he blocks everyone but checks their messages anyway hes quirky like that
LMAO what do you have against brownb
idk how to spell it
bruh
brown is like
do ppl even go there?
it's like wyoming
of ivys
doesn't feel real π
id say for undergrad it's closer to a toss up
ngl, u dont need to go to a good undergrad that badly
also it's an ivy league
every company knows top talent exists at ivies
if u work hard youll be fine
ppl at my school have gotten to final of optiver and shi
recently
yea bru u guys r ballin
When you have to pause an existential crisis because of bedtime 
damn lol
π
me too
prestigious endeavors
more time i spend outside the more comfortable i am with my offers
reminds me that theres more shit to do with my time other than solve retarded coding puzzles for 6 hours a day
want to disassociate with the cat pfp cabal of this server
like bruh and shd
ligma
thats most fun tho
theyre going to triangulate my coordinates and execute me via attack drone
friends and family is fluff. job offer is what really matters
js recruiter lol
the 4 people every year that move on to the final round are going to find this useful
wym honeypotting
who to not hire
i really need to clear my post history if that ever becomes the case
Well yeah but will they mention this server at all
And if they do is there any point to link a candidate with a discord profile
after the cisco meraki incident of '22 im sure we got a couple eyes on us
anime pfp == instant offer
pins can confirm
My Jane Street recruiter can confirm this is true
animal pfp == ghost 
Cmon google 
offer soon 
^
?avatar @median hedge
So thatβs where your pfp comes from
does interview with hiring manager mean its a final
i think at most companies yeah
like HM usually means you just need to get team matched if im right
aight cool
still waiting π
haha
Yeah u can make it to js hrt at harvard as well
ur forgetting cmu ers have a chance if they rly work hard
man I really messed up another codesignal right now. I wasn't sure I could complete q4 so just submitted it early thinking I would get an okay score for completing q1 and q2 but still got a low 700 score and am now realizing I should have tried q4 a bit longer as I probably would've figured it out
Time isn't a big factor at all
Yeah, I should've known better
is it just me or did people stop caring as much about figma after adobe acquired them
Is gusto OA auto?
What score in codesignal to pass gusto oa ?
how do you know your team lolk
Is anything good still open?
850
Do I need to let the company im interning at in summer know that I got a winter internship after signing?
Unless they have a weird non-compete agreement, I don't see why you would?
grad date is a guesstimate anyways
as a sophomore u should lie about it anyways and say ur a junior
cuz yu could take 6 classes a semester and graduate then prolly
u just wont
Hey where are you getting a winter?
Also, congrats
Has anyone been asked to provide proof for a deadline ?
can forge an email if u need :3
Even then, u wouldn't be working for them at the same time
Now I def wouldn't mention it
non competes mean u cant work at other places for a period of time
Really
I've only heard where u can't work at competitors at the same time. Like Facebook and TikTok would be a violation
Oooo that's interesting never knew that
because u have up to date insider market knowledge
But I feel like it'll be diff for internships anyway
some places are lifetime non competes tho, like rentech
afaik sig gives interns a noncompete
because they intend to hire most interns (citation needed)
Ahhh that make sense
usually it only applies to same industry tho, i think u can go from finance to tech frame 1 (also citation needed)
just ask for extension
or a intern return offer
"plans changed bitch, convert or gtfo"
moral skill issue
what are the odds of that lol
u aoready know the tech stack
next internship u get to do shit
@sleek pike can u tell roblox to respond to me
from a birds eye view that seems so unlikely
i have a friend who is 3x google intern
do u rly think hes gonna get shafted if they have to reduce hiring?
hes the last theyll cut lol
Dam is gusto auto oa
I think they started later
I c
is gusto gca
nah iirc it was like lc easy level
Aight bet
Me but for intern role , I emailed and they said they will get back in a week
Lol
they said that for me too
how is ut gca if its custom
will it take my gca or not
@north portal just got walmart interview schedule, wbu?
i havent gotten anything yet
not sure if i should follow up with recruiter or not
bet
Bruh i dont even remember taking the oa and apparently part of round one is going over your oa @north portal lol
and then u do a technical too
wait question
did u have an email where u signed up for times and shit
cuz i never got that
i only got the questionairre
bruh guys this is so embarrassing i have a deadline on nov 3 but no other offers π¦ but i really dont know if im committed
just accept it
do i just accept
renege if u need to
ty i feel so bad
dont
u got an offer
thats amazing!
also reneging is fine if u get something better later on
its part of the process
ty
when did u apply to cruise
or ask for an extension
don't, in the best case i will prob be accepting 3-4 offers for the summer and reneging all but one 2 weeks before i start
u need to be a shark
ok
its all companies i dont mind burning bridges with
that was an exaggeration lol
tbh once i land a company that pays like 120k+ for canadian new grads ill stop the summer internship search
Is that rare
Don't forget about your match as an IT Intern at the iconic Molson Coors! βοΈ This American-Canadian multinational drink and brewing company is behind iconic brands such as Blue Moon, Coors, and Miller, and they want YOU to help persevere responsible drinking and deliciousness as an IT Intern! πΊ

Wtf is thta
Is twilio OA auto?
i didnt get it so not auot
How do you guys recover after doing horrible in an oa? Like my confidence is down, and I can't stop beating myself up
@vapid pecan for intern?
More leetcode
i go into a depressive spiral where i grind harder and tell myself all my failures were products of my own weakness
half joking...
maybe less
Yeah lol. I know I should just move on and do better next time
Just forget about it, go on with your day and do something fun to take your mind off of it. OAs and internships are but a part of your life
dw about it, OA's are 10x harder than interviews 
in all seriousness take it as a learning experience, dont beat yourself over it
My mentality is
you will have a lot more opportunities in the future and in the future you'll definitely be improved from the past
Either you stay down or get back up, what is done is done, so might as well just be well
The leetcode part is usually easier in interviews than in OAs
unlucky π
i think for me they were harder too but i just hear people joking around about OA's being extra hard for no reason all the time
yeah you can print too and debug
for some companies the interview is def harder
yea on average they are harder
citadel, goog are a few off the top of my head
for sure
i think the goog interviews were fun honestly
and for some it's about the same
the question style is unique
like snowflake and tiktok
If interviews were easier, everyone would be there lmao
yea for sure
imo the solutions i had were def like LC style but the questions they asked weren't really LC style if that makes sense
maybe just the wording of the question
But no recruiter reached out yet
im waiting to hear back after final
form is automated
everyone gets it
I heard back about moving on exactly one week after final but this was for summer 2022

might be longer this time
you pushed summer 2022 to summer 2023 right

its been 5 business days for me
fwiw I don't know anyone who didn't move on after oa
Aight
summer 2022 -> winter 2023 -> summer 2023
Keep pushing it until they have to keep you ft
tbh
my 3rd interview was decent but didnt go perfect so i dont think i made it
i vibed with him and he said my approach was good then i coded and he said it works
but it wasnt smooth
yea hopefully we can get on sites for new grad
if we dont get in this year
This, but for sys design
Was absolutely lost during the first sys design interview I had
ive never even touched sys design before
if i had one id just make up some stuff and be like
Its fun though
@sinful locust which company is this π
has anyone else not heard back from bloomberg post tech chat
how long has it been for you
would i get blacklisted from bloomberg for withdrawing from on site a few days before
π§’
oh shit this means you get the OA soon
i had a friend who got this last year
and he got the OA a week later
im deadass
π§’
no srsly
π
i hope so but lets see
nvm
i just got the same email
βweβre not ghosting youβ -> 3 more months
Do they actually reject people in portal or does it stay as submitted forever
i hope i get an offer today
@sinful locust did you get the "still under consideration" email
It's been 2 months lmk how long a certain point is

LOL this was like a month ago
i had the tech chat on a friday and got on site scheduling the next day on a saturday
and they scheduled me for 11/4
i think imma withdraw tho
yea
idk thats the only thing i can think of
and will make it out π
why do u have better offer
yea
well idk if better
amazon

0 votes and 2 comments so far on Reddit
i wonder what company this was
π
It could be Roblox
anyone know what the minimum to pass the tiktok OA is? 
explaining two sum is p fun
the proof is cool too
or I assumed itd be rather fun to prove
they resume screen after
the two pointer solution?
yes
it's kinda simple
but like
twosum is harder than most ppl think
it's just the first lc so everyone knows it
fr
same
same
i had to read the solution
good times
back in those days
i remember those days omfg
winter in hs
jr year
i manually coded sorting functions
bcz i didnt know abt builtin sort
etc. etc.
this!!!
who the FUCK knows when to use a hash map before lc
π₯Έ
fr!
and then beyond that, who tf knows to use complements
NOW that beinf said
imo a lot of lc problems theu dont need optimal soln
like if brute force is n^2, optimal is n, and theres also nlogn
nlogn is usually fine i think
i dont think interviewers mind if u get semi optimal
i think it would be better to get linear
my friend did top k freq elements in nlogn time and moved to next step
yea cause quicksort is cringe
nlogn is p solid
quickselect
2 sum 2 is medium 
thats bucket sort colin
i dont either
quickselect is kth largest element
median of medians
yea
:o
you can do quickselect for either but bucket sort would be better ig
what is k freq elements if not nlogn π₯²
linear
i literally learned quick select yesterday
bucket sort then what?
its cracked
ik bucket sort
is favorite pattern
quickselect is "optimal"
yeah to do k freq you make a heap based on a frequency map i think
radix sort is the cringiest sort. its still nlogn they just hide the logn
yeah k freq must be nlogn
k freq is good for bucket sort
k freq is linear
brecause there are n buckets
wecu
right???
no you can do k freq linearly
there are only up to n times an element can occur
thus n buckets
so bucekt sort is good
hmm i see
Salesforce or Dropbox?
that makes sense now
sales force imo
i would force sales
how come
yeah you make a bucket of n + 1 size and then each index of the bucket is the frequency of each element
that bound was useful
salesforce office is giant
These days, innovation's not just a word in the dictionary. It's a way of life.
// merch: https://merch.krazam.tv
@mild pendant
does sales force only do summer????
salesforce sf is cringe why do we need such a big building for a company that does nothing interesting
do u counting sort each num, then put in its bucket then iterate backwards k times
if so, that makes a lot of sense
gg
does sales force only do summer??
same idk any of the names either
i will cry if they do
LSD radix sort base 256 >>
hello friends does anyone have a link to the roblox discord
i love roblox
but yeah if someone has it pls post or dm me it gracias
does
salesforce
only
do
summer

i believe so
@limber hull https://discord.gg/8K9VDGCr
noooooooo π¦
@hearty river

i dont wanna renege
stripe didnt even send an oa
same
always curious what stripe has you do in interviews
its ok its their loss
since ppl say its practical
i hate practical interviews
Is picking roblox over riot games a no brainer? I feel like I will enjoy working at riot more cause I played their games for a long time now, but I think there is a huge difference in their new grad comp
knowledge check interviews are silly imo
problem-solving makes sm more sense
i hate when programmers claim that lc is a bad interview process... it's a great way to see how someone thinks and how they problem solve in a short time
it's also, imo, a more equitable way of interviewing
Jakskwksow
This is true if nobody ever did LC before
grow up dude
video games and shit
na jk
i would do roblox
id pick roblox the career growth is really good
It changes when people actively practice LC and have seen the problem before
definitely take roblox
i dont wanna π
bro
LC levels the playing grounds for disadvantaged ppl too imo
its better than asking about rest apis
thats like my goal or project L
ive heard riot culture is really great
ROBLOX > RIOT
Yeah but isnβt the purpose of the interview to see how they think, not how their syntax knowledge is
riot culture is amazing, as a little kid riot was the first time i realized swe was a real possibility
after i watched their videos
on their workplace
does anyone know about 2023 winter that are still open
@potent ore wait are you on your last year for internships
yes
take roblox then
Nvm
I was gonna say you could try out both
But tbh you canβt go wrong with Roblox
^
ye ok thats like the logical thing i have been telling myself
If you want to go to riot later youβd have Roblox on your resume
i think roblox will open the doors to most new grad places if you wanna hop or dont get return offer
Which would help Iβd imagine
thats a fair point
no, they resume rejected me
π
also im reformed
I'm fairly certain it's easier to go from Roblox to Riot than the other way around for NG
no more league for me
yeah i think this is objective
roblox 10k housing holy shit 
It's treated as a bonus
Team specific
i cant believe taxes are gonna steal my money
If I match with a good team then it's a different story
i want to work on the physics engine ngl
but i feel like id be a little bit too bad for it
oh whale
you guys accepted roblox?
I have, I'm assuming @somber solstice will
hope to see u in san mateo 

CSCD discord meetup in san mateo
guess we most likely will be seeing eachother in san mateo
OMG
This is gonna be interesting lmao
yessir
He got the recruiter call
Which is an offer
oh nice
ahasjwjwk
Hey yβall
I think like 20
they took in "180 interns" this summer
Probably more as the season goes on
or they have room for 180
Could someone take a look at my resume before I apply to Roblox?
maybe, but thats what the recruiter told me
what do ppl actually do in san mateo
Meet up with other interns and hang out in SF

FUCK YEAH
i want to go outside
i havent touched grass in years
even if u r not into bar hopping and clubbing sf is good
nah, u choose team after u accept
doesnt have to be frontend oriented if u dont want
Yeah I was looking at the wrong one by accident
Thank you
To the people that got the interview/offer, did yβall drop your Roblox nameπ
I made a new one
It doesnβt matter though
Itβs just used to play games
Theyβre not gonna look through your chat history
guys add me, its ApplicantUsername π
Itβs more the game history lmao
π
Any tips on the assessment? For Roblox
Quick q, does anyone know what's on the final round for flexport?
is it just behavial or are there coding as well?
have fun with the sandbox part
What is itποΈποΈ
It's the same for everyone
What sort of questions should I ask during recruiter behavioral that aren't technical?
How many more stages are there after the assessment? 1?
1 more
Technical, behavioral or both?
work life balance, company culture, what are some qualities that they look or in successful itnerns
both back to back
behavioral then technical
just had my palantir phone screen
Ty
recruiter asked me what im more interested in: forward-deployed swe vs general swe
How was it
i said forward-deployed
Thank you
then she says they dont have spots left for forward-deployed (for international students)
and to apply next year
wtf
no fucking way
How often do recruiters call? Iβm always scared that Iβll miss a call bc I get so many spam ones
n be like "could u switch from general swe to forward-deployed after the internship is over"
and she was like yes but highly discouraged
Without any warning?
Rarely
Yeah as first step
why do you want to do forward deployed\
is paypal auto everyones either saying yes with absolute confidence or no with absolute confidence
why she ask me to pick one of the two if only one is available
legit missed the 50/50 question
lmao this is what I got told
then I got put into general swe pipeline
i like to travel and overall sounds super fun
wtf howw
i tried to transition
she said she'd put a note down and reach out again next year
I didn't even have to argue my recruiter legit just put me in
bruhhh
recruiter diff
unless they're capped on swe interviews rn
maybe cause u asked about transferring afterwarsd it put her off
Are there any good internships right now for SWE and/or ML? Iβm new to all of thisπ
yeah recruiter was super chill tho lol
gg ):
im not super interested anyway cuz the interview process sounds impossible
ill just apply again next year lol
yeah maybe but it was worth a shot /;
wtf is this amazon you are still under consideration email
just give me the oa bruh
π’
Any luck with tiktok btw?
PLZ UPDATE AMAZON PORTAL ! π
y they even sending this out to everyone
if theyve started waitlisting interns
to make people have hope
its just automated
recruiter bs
Anyone done Datadog final in the past week?
They already reached out?
yeah i know
at least last year when they sent that to me
they were still taking interns
last year everyone got offer
DamnβΉοΈ
no
probably just disorganized
or did i apply to the wrong posting
is it too late to apply for palantr
ive had ther app open for like
a month
but keep forgetting to complete
Is it hard to get an Amazon internship for next year?

Is seatgeek OA auto
yo whatβs the new LC meta, i know before blind 75 was enough but people have made new better lists of questions to practice since then
Yeah you do 2sum 7 times
lc
med
oh really ok
2sigmaβs more like a tech company
any specific topics they lean towards?
anybody know the difficulty of - final? i assume just lc med

i seen some on glassdoor, i hope so i really want it lmao
my dropbox final lc was easy
My friend group this past summer was like 6 girls and 6 guys
But for other groups it was all guys 
no

Bruh
niu yawk
they are always talking in the amazon intern thread
but idk
BLEACH DAY
BLEACH DAY
brothers/sisters give me monday motivations!

chiraq is the iraq of chicago
facts
the only reason i might trust them more is cause they are always in the thread
trust me Reddit user device_index is bezos musk
they are either an amazon shill or a troll
play blackjack
bc they said only 10% of candidates pass final
a tcp server??
cause all the quants be meeting up and doing like charity poker/blackjack events etc etc
make linux
read about it in flash boys
Write a kernel
and another book about quants
making a small kernel is actually pretty straightforward
options pricing model
its the most famous financial model
tried to understand it and failed, only one i know is the dividend discount model 
Class thing but also a brain thing bc it took like 40 hours per lab
hey did you get 2sig?
bruh sig pay is 100/hr intern i swear that shit was 40 when they sent me the first round
quant is cool
it is
for swe
they like traders apparently
faang -> aang
nah faang -> maang -> aang
[[0,0,0],[0,1,0],[0,0,0]]

Kernel
{0} kernel of identity map
i feel bad for the people who joined meta bc it was one of the more prestigious companies
and now its ass
fr bro fr, rip to all the homies
lmaoo I'm waiting as well
I think they can turn it around but it'll take some years
whats the source
I feel like if u joined meta right now, you'll be in a decent spot
i dont know tbh, i just know it as "that famous painting which i think shows the fall of rome" lmfao
what would they turn to tho?
Imagine living through that
meta x roblox metaverse
Gaming
facebook gaming
Running ads isn't gonna get them anywhere else tbh
