i admire your optimism

sly copper
#

zon could just not give us return offers

proud crag
#

in order for peoe to renege companes other than zon have to hire people

sly copper
proud crag
#

do not hope for return offer

#

hope that your practice in the coming year will bridge the crackedness gap between what you have and what you want

sly copper
#

Unfortunately Iโ€™m not cracked enough for ng

proud crag
#

maybe today you arent

sly copper
#

cracked enough for intern PepeLaugh

proud crag
#

but you have 10 months to fix that

devout fractal
#

6 months grind session until next fall for cracked af place now hopium

sly copper
#

goog interview process is wild

proud crag
#

yes

#

all my hope rests on snowflake

i feel good about it after my recruiter emailed me

#

#

#

proud crag
#

pk fire

willow grove
#

????

#

what are u on lol

#

i "threw a fit"

#

keep living in ur own world

proud crag
#

i wasnt paying enough attention to know wat the argument is but this is a funny comeback

#

my resume game is skill gapped ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

i want there to be a company

#

that pays 80/hr for interns and has no resume screen

#

just algo heavy lc hards

#

ask to prove np completeness round 1

muted summit
#

reverie are you gonna end up taking g?

proud crag
#

URM stands for URMom

#

me when i throw around the word pseudopolynomial thanos

muted summit
#

what season are you going for

#

i dont know a single thing about dp thanospog

#

oh did they let you immediately move to fall

proud crag
#

when the time complexity is exponential with respect to the log of the input

muted summit
#

do you need to re interview?

#

no way right

#

im considering doing zon summer google fall and grad sem later given this economy but idk

#

not sure how worth that is

#

id grad dec 2024, hbu

#

hmmm does that mean its better to delay or grad earlier

#

hard to tell ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

ye rn if i only do one of them i can do may 2024

#

i wonder how many spots google fall has

#

i guess if i dont get matched, i can move to fall too

#

do you know how many fall projects there are usually compared to summer

#

ik winter has the least

#

but i see a ton of fall interns rn

#

at g

#

yeah there's also a lot less applicants too so i wonder what the ratio is

#

but i feel like fall ppl are all cracked as shit

#

so competition might be a lot higher

proud crag
#

become as cracked as them

muted summit
#

hard to truly know

proud crag
#

you have lots of time to prepare

muted summit
#

i wanna go to zon because i'll learn a lot but i also wanna do google

#

๐Ÿ’€

proud crag
#

i think all of them set you up for a good career

muted summit
#

idek if its worth doing zon tho honestly but it just sounds fun

proud crag
#

why woudl it not be worth it

#

amazon is top quality company

#

just cuz they hire a lot doesnt mean its a bad company

muted summit
#

im thinking google/amazon summer -> google summer only -> amazon summer google fall

#

yea thats what i was thinking too

#

exactly

#

I don't know how RO gonna look like for next year

#

if I do zon summer, I can get RO even for 2024, then do G fall or something

sly copper
#

renege zon

muted summit
#

yeah im local too

sly copper
#

allow us to be taken off waitlist

muted summit
#

so it'd be chill

#

but G specifically says to not do any classes while interning there

#

so... idk

sly copper
#

How would they know

muted summit
#

like thats one thing they have in their contract lol

#

you send your transcripts for return offer to check when you're gonna grad

sly copper
muted summit
#

but zon doesn't know

#

rn im lowkey leaning towards sem later grad -> amazon summer -> google fall -> a year of school -> one of those companies full time

#

that would be sick

real sedge
muted summit
#

true, they wont know

proud crag
muted summit
#

cuz id do amazon summer then google in fall

#

and thats 1 less sem of school

#

and then id grad dec 2024 instead of may 2024

#

yea, idk if worth cuz id have one extra summer on interning

#

amazon summer -> google fall -> amazon summer -> G fulltime kek

#

id have to get so lucky to pull that off

#

yeah same, but i heard G RO rates are fucked rn

#

yeah and a ton of people are delaying grad rn

#

the last sem of school would be chill, like 2 classes

#

so technically I can work FT

#

LinkedIn fall -> new grad ๐Ÿ‘€

#

they only hire interns

#

and i wanna work there

sly copper
#

LinkedIn ๐Ÿ‘ป

muted summit
#

i had a phone screen then got ghosted this year

#

so harrible

#

delaying a sem later is fine i think

#

sem is cheap and im local

sly copper
#

Iโ€™m graduating one sem early

muted summit
#

yea sem is like 4k full time and maybe 2k part time

sly copper
#

Destroyer cracked af

muted summit
#

but i think its worth it to do google and amazon

#

nahh man my interviews were easy af

#

and my grades suck

sly copper

same

#

@honest spire what other company are you in pipeline with

#

Nice

sly copper
#

the second oa is custom

#

the first oa is gca

#

man the dropbox interview process was a meme

#

as your first oa?

#

are you sure you didn't already send them your gca results

#

huh interesting

#

I went through all the stages

#

custom oa, recruiter screen, then the final round

#

I did great on all of them and I got rejected

#

yeah

#

final is 3 parts: technical (lc), code review, and then behavioral

#

solved the technical and psuedocoded followups

#

explained code and answered suggestions on how to improve it

#

literally got into a conversation about our shared hobbies and stuff at the end with my interviewer for the behavioral

#

no cap, maybe they already filled up

muted summit
#

just get an internship and you're chillin

#

exactly @honest spire

#

this one class im taking im prob gonna have to retake it kekw_recession_edition

#

i already signed up for the next semesters class

summer sequoia
#

jk i got denied

muted summit
#

did you make it to the on sites

#

yeah same i dont have gpa on my resume and im in project match

#

and got amazon

#

i agree with this

#

none of my questions were crazy algo intensive, though i felt like one of my google questions was similar to a math style LC hard

#

^

#

yeah i wouldnt be able to answer that

#

ive never taken OS

#

or learned anything about OS

#

i wonder if knowing OS makes u a better engineer

#

at faang

#

obv team dependent, but im wondering just in general

#

it sounds interesting to learn

#

but i just havent had the time

#

also how are you barely passing aren't you a first year kek @honest spire

#

thats not bad

#

in terms of college grades

#

all my intro cs midterms were stupid easy

#

the class after intro cs was like basic ass oop in java

#

it was stupid free

#

but then there's those classes like assembly and architecture

#

where it gets scary

#

honestly i would have preferred that for mine

#

i knew java in hs and learned nothing in college

#

i dont think ive learned anything in my classes tbh

#

that ive used

#

i actually used some data analyzation stuff at my internship, that i used in a physics class

#

and i did a friends hw assignment that related to my internship work too LMAO

#

he was a biomedical eng major

#

taking some python class

#

and it was like automated data analysis of this big ass data set

#

i think so

#

it was more interesting

#

than anything i did in my cs classes

#

ya i interned at a med tech company

#

it was really cool

#

its weird bc the "computer engineering" majors learn C++

#

but the cs and software engineering learn java

#

ya

#

i didnt wanna do cmpe

#

that shit was way too much hardware

#

and it looked fucked

#

i did hardware / robotics stuff in hs

#

but didnt wanna go into it for industry

#

dude, i had to take two phys classes

#

its so fucked

#

mechanical and then E&M

#

mechanical was interesting

#

but E&M was ass

#

do you have to take thermo

#

for the 3rd one

quaint bolt
#

im surprised how most cs os courses don't have you build an actual kernel or os

#

you just do some dumb shell shit

muted summit
#

i heard my schools os course is glorified memorization

quaint bolt
#

ece mans make an actual kernel dogesmile

muted summit
#

time to learn how to make a kernel on the side

#

wait what even is "infrastructure software engineering"

#

is that backend like api shit?

#

or is it networking stuff

#

or just a very broad term

quaint bolt
#

Depends on the company

#

Could be devops, could be building the actual infra

#

for faang devops usually has a diff name like prod eng at fb and sre at goog

and then started scale?

quaint bolt
mystic depot
# dense tinsel

tbh this is a half truth it kinda depends on your definition of the grind

dense tinsel
#

why does it matter he dropped from mit

mystic depot
#

many very successfull people have always been interested in their field and have always messed around and learnt new stuff. mark zuc was always fooling around making projects

#

is that considered the "grind"

dense tinsel
#

REAL

#

mark dropped out

#

now he cant even give anyone the zucc ๐Ÿ”ฅ

mystic depot
#

if your really interested in something it shouldn't be considered the "grind". you will just be working on something u think is cool

#

if the market thinks its cool then your gonna get rich

#

many successful people also started after college, bezos started amazon (admittedly after working for de shaw) but it wasn't during university

is that real or am i victim of manipulation

why waste money/time with interviews and waitlisting

No

I applied for the general Canadian one

Not sure if it's meraki or not

proud crag
#

ye

#

im just sadge bcause i got 2 real OAS

#

OAs

#

from paypal and from expedia

#

expedia's oa was evil (involved doing arithmetic) and also a LC hard i think (regular language creation, very math heavy and tbh idk how to do it without brute forcing)

#

and i didnt know prefix sum so failed paypal

#

no human interviews this season

#

js process doesnt even look that bad according to the yt videos ๐Ÿ˜ญ

nah im invigorated i just want to actually do shit

i already applied to most places tho

anyone know if snowflake OA is auto?

glad remnant
#

i think so

#

Got it right after a week

a week to get an auto OA seems unlikely

ima be salty if they resume screen after

cinder girder
glad remnant
#

yeah and it was exactly on week

cinder girder
#

Canadian one has less competition

#

I went to an online career fair hosted by my university, where they gave me a link to apply w a ref tag

#

They sent me an OA but I was swamped w school and stuff

#

Then they just requested an interview before I did the OA

#

a t2 canadian university, Carleton

#

I don't think it's even t2

#

oh I meant tier 2

#

nonono we like top 10

#

like literally 10-15th place depending on the leaderboard

#

There are like 4-5 top schools then everything else is kinda mid ngl

#

My dad went to Concordia

#

Carleton is higher rated these days I think

#

Depends who you ask thouhg

#

yuhhh

#

Well with our schools you have to really push for jobs and stuff, it's hard to enter big tech companies

#

untold spire
#

how competitive are Canadian unis?

cinder girder
#

Grades are inflated here though

#

Each school is not equal in its grading

#

So I had to tryhard to get into a local uni ๐Ÿ˜ญ

untold spire
#

ah, but it seems like yall have like work integrated into the graduation system ๐Ÿ‘€

#

i think uwaterloo had something like that?

#

idk tho

cinder girder
#

It's not required but it's part of the co-op designation/stream

#

Since I am in the accelerated intro class I am able to take the second year courses prerequisite to the co-op stream and do a work term early

#

I've never done a "true" interview before

#

In the sense that I didn't do a whiteboard question

#

As in recording myself as if I am doing an interview or what?

proud crag
#

how do u detect cycles efficiently

#

thats my issue

#

how do you verify a topo sort is allowed

#

my error is when theres a cycle

#

i need to find the cycle somehow

#

you can kill the dfs with a global variable or an array of size 1

#

think of it like a while True loop

#

have if not dfsRunning: return be your first if statement or something

#

topo sort is cool though

#

it basically does everything for you

u know, see what they are about etc etc

#

tbh this year has been wild kekw_recession_edition

#

is it normal to skip the OA i guess and go straight to an interview? cause i have never experienced that before

#

why is the recruiter emailing me at night on a sunday kekw_recession_edition

#

imma have to tell em i cant do it

#

Do u guys think they would be willing to tell me the TC before i move forward with anything

glad plume

wait is it the second or third interview that is sys design for netflix?

#

oh nvm it's the second one isn't it

near swallow
#

honestly idk

#

companies do be liking hiring interns cuz it's low investment so maybe it feels like there's more apps

#

but the net supply of new grad jobs will always be higher

#

so maybe, if your standards are high, better prospects finding internship
if u just want a job, then new grad

i rejoin for a bit

bcz i wanna learn how to find ppl who can teach me tricks to transferring

yeah because oddly enough they are doing this

  • layoff people including new grads
  • getting more interns

but yeah GPA is the biggest indicator to transfer, plus transferring is so competitive

@somber solstice

where do you currently go

Depends your goals

if you want to go to grad school at a T5 then gpa might matter

yea ๐Ÿคฃ

my gpa is kinda low, but i do go to an ivy, i want to go into industry for a few years and maybe come back to get a Masters in CS or CE

where do you go?

Guys, what do you recommend to practice time and spatial complexity analysis?

#

Got a lc style final coming up and I'm nervous about that part

muted summit
#

before you solve the question and ur thinking about ur approach, note down its time complexity, then do the same thing after

#

and put little notes for why its that time/space complexity

#

like say you have a binary search, you'll say the time complexity is logn with n being the amount of elements in our input

hrt doesnt have quant trader and citadel hard cutoffs if your gpa/school isnt good enough

cracked means good at interviews imo

not "goes to good school"

im t50 but gpa not 3.9x which is what i think cit wants from non target

does cit even have quant trader?

generally or for cs

at my career fair hrt recruiter said they dont have a QT role but will relatively soon

but that they wnat ppl with a financial background for it
