The longest I had was 2.5h and it was really hard (because of the time) After 1 1/2h the motivation decreases

timid wraith

wooden shard
timid wraith
#

perfect scored it

hollow field
#

Tech was 1 lc med and 1 lc hard

timid wraith
#

yea i know second problem wasn't too easy; im a lot better at coding silently and working through problems on my own with time rather than thinking on the spot + talking while thinking in actual interview i think

#

and i have no experience doing an actual interview since im a freshman

hollow field
#

What

timid wraith
#

so im trying hard to find ways to prep

hollow field
#

What year did u put for grad year

timid wraith
#

hollow field
#

#

Wonder if my recruiter is still there 🥴

Sorry about the late response, but I applied a couple weeks ago and today is my technical

How was the interview

new grad

#

this is the wrong channel LOL.... I don't use this discord much

south pawn
pseudo ridge
#

unless y'all did a 4 hour onsite, no

sudden tulip
#

still haven’t heard back

pseudo ridge
#

I could imagine the first OA was similar

south pawn
#

I had a referral which really helped

pseudo ridge
#

I don't think that was remarkable or difficult or anything

#

but the onsite was defo role and new grad tailored bc they asked questions I never got in my intenrship interviews last cycle

#

did u get the internship?

#

my onsite technical was in docker + flask

south pawn
#

I have my technical today, I did my oa before this

pseudo ridge
#

good luck! is it the final round for you?

south pawn
#

No I think the next one after this is the final, but Ive heard it will be something similar to yours where you are actually using the stack that they use.

pseudo ridge
#

ah I c

#

I think the first technical wasn't too bad...I think it was a 2 part question on the easier side of LC medium

#

be mindful of code reuse

#

*like in ur part 2 think abt how u can do that effectively leverage code resue

pseudo ridge
# sudden tulip still haven’t heard back

dw...they're kinda sporadic in how they move like my first interview took forver to schedule, then the next 2? 3? moved rly fast, then it took them a month to put together an offer

stone echo

well it doesn't necessarily mean that

#

they hired 240 interns last year

#

their target was 100 this year

#

i just hope they dont rescind the offers

#

😦

jaunty cove
#

I doubt they would rescind but i doubt return offer would be easy

stone echo
#

i accepted my offer

#

its gonna be like 30% return offer rate again probs

#

time to prep for new grad recruiting!

mystic depot
#

yo stripe out for the count??

#

#

Rideshare is dead

mystic depot
#

they got a lot of debt tho i think

jaunty cove
#

they lose billions every year

north portal
#

total profit was 50 million, and their overall business scheme is starting to collapse

north portal
#

no it makes sense

mystic depot
#

rip uber

north portal
#

the downside to Uber's way of doing shit, is that their margins are almost nonexistent, they cannot acutally make insane amounts of profit

#

also Uber's other big problems is they spend way more than any other company on legal battles and sorting out regulations

north portal
#

that would work if Uber was a monopoly, but they have too much competition now

jaunty cove
#

Im glad california tries to fuck them over with regulations

hardy patrol
#

can i go one internship cycle without a cataclysmic economic situation unfolding in real time

north portal
#

like Lyft and other companies are just doing what Uber didnt do and now its screwing Uber over

jaunty cove
#

Yea but now theyre all screwed

#

Except doordash sonce they can apparently afford to ask lc hards

near swallow
#

LC hards for like a 3.3 rating on Blind

jaunty cove
#

blind rating doesnt mean everything copium

near swallow
#

Tbh ur right especially recently

#

It can help u uncover bad wlb sometimes

jaunty cove
#

meta has 4 stars

near swallow
#

Yes because meta is the best company in history

#

It deserves 3.7

hardy patrol
#

2.3 max cause they didnt hire me

jaunty cove
#

-0.3 stars for metaverse incident

hardy patrol

reading the 3rd article in a row abt how disastrous tech is after they took out a loan to pay some shitty coding mill camp 50k

thank god im a double major

wooden shard

Bootcampers killing the industry 😢

north portal

Johns Hopkins here I come

wooden shard
#

Bloating up the entry level job applications

hardy patrol
#

its obscenely expensive

north portal
hardy patrol
#

to get into bootcamps

wooden shard
#

Just go to school lol

#

The way of thinking and approaching problems is much more valuable

#

Than learning fullstack

north portal
#

bootcamps are literally just a way for people to scam you for money imo, its not competitive enough

hardy patrol
#

i mean the point of bootcamps is to take the shortcut and learn the "essentials" to get a job

north portal
#

in the real world process

wooden shard
#

Anyone can learn fullstack

mystic depot
#

either that or just learn in your spare time over a period of a few years

#

people can still get in like that

wooden shard
#

But learning how to think is hard

mystic depot
#

prob not faang tho

north portal
hardy patrol
#

its a 3-6 month thing compared to a 4 year degree so people leech on that

north portal
#

do bootcamps even get considered that much for recruiting?

#

just wondering

wooden shard
#

To companies

hardy patrol
#

they make you lie a shit ton so your resume is od fluffed for companies

north portal
#

yea but in the general scheme of it, they proibably dont have much value

wooden shard
#

Fax

mystic depot
wooden shard
#

They be giving everyone the same fullstack projects too

hardy patrol

north portal
mystic depot
#

people usually say that they dont understand the fundamentals of CS and how to be a swe. they only know how to do LC

wooden shard
#

Who

#

I’m lc monkey rn

mystic depot
#

which is enough to get started IMO but not enough for a job

wooden shard
#

🙂

jaunty cove
#

A lot of bootcampers complain about lc

north portal
#

its stupid cuz ur base fundamentals are nonexistent

#

and it will bite you in the back later on

wooden shard
#

U think bootcampers know how to do graphs?

#

Lolol

mystic depot
#

LOL

north portal
#

palantir bootcamp be like(only graphs and trees)

jaunty cove
#

When ppl complain about trees its like bruh these are hella useful

hardy patrol
#

lc is a good equalizer as much as i hate it like its comforting to know i just have to solve quirky coding puzzles to worm my way into faang instead of some other variable thats harder to change

#

like what college i go to or some shit

mystic depot
#

i dont have anything against people doing a bootcamp tbh but they just gotta understand its gonna be a lot tougher especially now more than ever

jaunty cove

I thought they pay their interns really well

sly copper
#

Meta is unraveling

pure pewter
#

i heard someone say $40 an hour

#

quant hours for 40 an hour means more money though

north portal
#

no its true tho, its cuz they have expansion plans in place already so their internship and ng hiring isnt freezin

#

the only downside is fidelity isnt a faang level comp

pure pewter
#

if im working 60 a week on 40 an hour thats prorated to like 120k for an internship

north portal

yea true, im happy i have the return its better than nothing

but we gonna make it

No

at the risk of getting flamed: usaa vs geico vs deloitte

jaunty cove

youre not gonna hear back from amazon if u apply rn

jaunty cove

most quants the resume screen appears to be the hardest thing

quaint bolt
#

you don't need c++ either unless you want HRT core dev or jump

#

just apply for algo eng

#

or python core dev

#

realistically you only need c++ for jump lol

jaunty cove
#

python roles less common at some

quaint bolt
#

so it doesn't really matter

jaunty cove
#

pretty sure akuna explicitly said theres less for python

#

there arent loads of FT positions all the time

#

at any of these firms

quaint bolt
#

who wants akuna WazowskiStare

jaunty cove
#

maybe citadel

jaunty cove
#

yeah they have open roles

#

that doesnt mean they hire people

quaint bolt
#

that's a skill issue dogesmile

jaunty cove
#

they hire like 2 people with 150 iq

#

not really

#

just resume issue

glad quarry
#

!problems two sigma

final forumBOT
#

!problems can only be used in #leetcode-bot

jaunty cove
#

i would get iq gapped in trader interview though

quaint bolt
#

which is a skill issue

jaunty cove
#

resume != skill

quaint bolt
#

and again for JS, Cit etc you can interview in python doesn't mean you'll get a python role

#

at least for those 2

#

head hunters for HFT reach out to people at big tech a surprising number of times for FT lol

my friend's bro got reached out to by p much every top quant firm during the robinhood fiasco

#

bc they thought he would jump kekw_recession_edition

#

yeah so it's not the end of the world if you don't get in as an intern

#

there's always a shortage of senior engineers

quaint bolt
#

too many entry-level, not enough seniors

jaunty cove
#

saying resume == skill is waterloo cope

quaint bolt
#

no because senior isn't terminal

#

usually the level before senior is terminal so a lot of people get there and chill

#

don't promote to senior

and there's this too

yo sorry for the paragraph drop. i got some really bad advice from ppl around me and really underestimated the importance of internships and resume building up until a couple weeks ago. i'm in junior year and trying to get a summer 2023 internship now but have no previous experience and my resume is pretty empty besides school projects (i'm trying to ta spring but i think that's not really going to help me now). i'm pretty stressed and don't really know what i should be doing because i have the assumption my resume is too weak for how late i've started applying, and lots of companies are already closed/full. does anybody have advice for what i should be doing and prioritizing at this point?
