covid times were wild

#

Same

#

I just kept my gpa somewhat up for citadel but that’s it

muted summit
#

yeah im just trying to maintain it now

#

i kinda fucked up in regards to school bc i never built study habits

#

but now its kicking my ass and making me realize i gotta study

devout fractal
#

what gpa u need in american

#

bruh 3.5 is it 💀

muted summit
#

i got a 3.3 and its dropping this sem 💀

devout fractal
#

fuck i can get off academics then, had enough stress at this shitty ass school

muted summit
#

not even HAHA

devout fractal
#

thought it was like 3.8

muted summit
#

same

#

i wanna see if i can end with a 3.5

devout fractal
#

i have a 3.95 gpa but as long as i can get into my school's bs/ms program, im happy

#

it needs a 3.5

#

have u heard the legend of gokugate

#

cuz im ee and it gives pay boost, also more specialized and interesting work than crud SWE

cinder girder
#

we need a 90% as well

devout fractal
#

u can get typical swe with just a few months of LC grinding

#

zon waitlist as a frosh is good

#

ur cracked krishna

cinder girder
#

My school has a really weird GPA system though kekw_recession_edition our GPA system is out of 12 and makes no distinctions within each range unless you really want to calculate it, a 91% has no distinction to a 100% at the GPA level, both are a 12.0

devout fractal
#

same, a 90% is a an A here and we have no +/-

#

only reason my gpa is high lol

cinder girder
#

have

devout fractal
#

hmm why am i still here PepeHands

cinder girder
#

F -> A+ has 12 different possibilities so they just went w 12 system

devout fractal
#

does an F- exist KEKW

cinder girder
#

F is 0-49%

#

D-, D, D+, C- C, C+...

#

each is like a couple percent or something

#

and then there is A+ which is 90%+

#

This is my grade scheme

#

sadge what if I want an intern at raytheon

#

can I get one

long slate
#

Nope

gloomy plover
#

Wow

cinder girder
#

I do not have a public one that is updated rn no

#

I just have a private repo minimalist website github pages thing

#

that is severely outdated

#

but I was planning on making one after my API project

#

I can dm you what I have

#

🤔

#

maybe not completely over

#

This was literally 5 weeks ago thoguh

#

we'll see

#

I thought I saw someone mention headcount was full here at some point but I might just have misread

#

😭

robust bridge
#

Has anyone heard back after applying to expensify? I don't know if it is a waste of time to respond to their questions for the app

quaint bolt
#

At least for msft

#

There’s prolly gonna be one more batch of offers before thanksgiving and that’ll be it for msft maybe until January if they get more headcount

#

no

#

no one’s gonna schedule interviews this week tho, I gave Cit availabilities this week and next week and they scheduled mine next week

devout fractal
#

yah my rivian one is on the 29th

quaint bolt
#

My offers last year were all in dec or jan

#

But yeah maybe diff this year bc lower hc

#

Prolly filled up by thanksgiving

muted summit
#

nice solution

#

i actually wrote out a bruteforce dfs with this first

#

then did bfs

#

the dfs TLE'd tho

#

mhm def

#

this one was a bit more tricky at first since its implicitly bfs

#

havent done many of those before

#

ooo yeah that ones a famous problem

quaint bolt
#

when they say stuff like n + 1 and give you a range of [1, n] the intended solution usually is using the numbers as indices

#

But I can think of like 4 diff solutions for this off the top of my head, lots of ways to go about it

#

Oh I guess 3 in that case

muted summit
#

Try this question if you're bored LOL its not bfs tho https://leetcode.com/problems/race-car/

Level up your coding skills and quickly land a job. This is the best place to expand your knowledge and get prepared for your next interview.

#

however I thought it was bfs...

#

rotting oranges is a good problem

quaint bolt
#

racecar is the same as racecar

#

I skipped dsa class.

#

You don’t need to do a formal dsa class to do well in lc, just learn as you go

muted summit
#

i didnt learn shit from my dsa class

#

tbf i didnt really pay attention but still

#

the way they teach heaps in DSA iirc is through trees and shit right?

#

i just think of a heap as an ordered queue kek

quaint bolt
#

random lc -> unknown topic -> learn topic do lots of qs on the topic -> repeat

muted summit
#

yeah heaps were overly confusing for no reason

#

i remember some friends i had were implementing heaps from scratch

quaint bolt
#

JS mfs be like

muted summit
#

i would just made a PriorityQueue to pass the test cases

#

since it was all automated but i bet they look at the code later kekw_recession_edition

#

swapped to python but still learning LMAO

#

been a few weeks since i been at it haha

#

yeah i think im pretty comfortable with it so far

white urchin
#

any python experts here who can explain time complexity of zip function

I hate school professors literally dont teach makes no sense

#

Sigma

muted summit
#

i kinda learned some basic c++

#

but i just dont see the point

mossy compass
white urchin
hidden mural
#

lol is this transpose

muted summit
#

i can convert java to c++ and what not but i dont know all the c++ only libraries

white urchin
#

that would be O(N) since you're iterating through the the arguments right

#

and zip is O(1)

muted summit
#

which is what makes it nice

spark valley
#

I learned c++ by doing lc

white urchin
quaint bolt
#

Exhausting a zip object should be O(N*M)

#

It’ll still prolly faster than if you did it manually tho but those are minute details

#

Kinda like how sum is faster than just manually iterating and adding the numbers

white urchin
#

gotcha

quaint bolt
#

Idk if they fixed it but the standard solution for word search 2 in Python doesn’t work unless you prune the trie

#

But C++ works w/o pruning

muted summit
#

in python you can

#

but in java i think you can just peek

#

vice versa

white urchin
muted summit
#

well, doesnt matter what the type of heap is

#

in java you can only get the front

#

but in python you can index it

#

right

#

you just look at the front

#

yea

#

-1

#

oh fr

#

hm

#

i know you can add negative values

#

and you retrieve it by doing * -1

#

to get the real value

#

thats a fake max heap in python

white urchin
#

what if you have negative numbers included in constraints

muted summit
#

then its gg

#

LMAO im joking

#

i actually dont know

#

i just vaguely remember

#

something about passing in the negaitve of the value

#

no i think i am

#

yea surely you just pass in the value multiplied by -1

#

and then when you pop it, you multiply by -1

#

for a max heap in python

clever grail
#

why do u need a heap

not rlly surprising, just wondering if that was common i haven't seen much about it in here this year

quaint bolt
#

I only know like 2 people here so far who’ve applied and heard back this szn

#

Most other people are like me and have moved to this szn from other ones

idle briar
#

how do i have a winter offer but not a summer offer

leaden seal
#

I myself have heard back from the recruiter and they informed that I passed the OA + behavioural and that they went well!

What confuses me is that they said:
"We have now placed you on our waitlist to attend a final-round interview. We are planning for final round interview on Tuesday 13th December 2022. This is not yet confirming that we will be able to invite you, as it is dependent on the number of interview slots that we have available and how long our waitlist is in the given location."

Does this mean that I could not get invited at all even though I did great so far? Did you receive such an email?

I already asked the recruiter (still haven't answered) but I'd like to get some feedback from here too 😄

#

I assumed that this was referring to that specific date

#

Oh yes sorry, Microsoft swe intern

devout fractal
#

i thought msft swe went straight to phone

leaden seal
#

I did an OA and then behavioural and got my results

#

it's for EU if that matters

devout fractal
#

oh EU

#

makes sense

leaden seal
#

sucks that I know I did well but I might not get invited

#

hopefully they'll actually answer and not skip the question because of policy 😄

#

I mean if a scenario where half of the interview process goes well but there's a possibility the candidate may not receive a final round interview really exists, then yeah.

sinful locust
#

do you all think stock price is a good indicator of a company's success

willow grove
#

stock price in itself means nothing

#

a high share price does not mean a well-performing company - relatively high share price based on time could mean the company is doing relatively well, however

Like on the flip side, u can have a stock that’s currently trending low but the future is still bright for the company. Ex: Amazon, Google, etc

willow grove
#

also total volume

#

like if you're comparing relative price

#

sure ig?

#

like compare this year to last year for a given company

#

but if you're comparing a publishing company (which tends to have penny stocks) to tesla

#

its not an accurate metric

quaint bolt
#

buy high, sell low dogesmile

astral dew
#

Well I think it wouldn’t be fair to compare stock prices with how crazy the market is rn. Like comparing year to year

willow grove
#

yeah i agree

#

its hard to compare company to company with just one metric unfortunately

Biggest clue away will always be earning reports

Hey <Recruiter>,

Unfortunately, some extenuating circumstances arose recently that will prevent me from taking part in the <Company> summer internship program this year. I want to make it clear that I could not have predicted this would happen during the time I had to consider my offer.

I understand that <Company> has likely made financial and logistical decisions based upon the expectation that I would be following through on the acceptance of my offer, and therefore I feel it's necessary to formally apologize for any inconveniences I have caused as a result of this.

I want to thank you personally for helping me along this processes and also apologize if this in any way negatively affects your situation as my recruiter.

I genuinely hope we can work together in the future, and I have nothing but positive things to say about <Company>'s internship process. I will continue recommending my peers to apply to your company, and I wish you all the best in the future.

Thank you again,
<Heartless reneging bastard>

If the circumstances are right they fly you out + it used to be the norm for interviews, you’d actually get flown out but not anymore

yo , upcoming swe summer intern here and a non cs student

#

do u guys think its worth reading on software engineering fudamentals like software development models /architecture/sofwtare project management/micro services etc...

#

or should I just leetcode to prep

#

since obvs the applicants r probs all cs students, I have to try and catch up with them so any advice on that?

sharp sedge
#

or are you gonig to apply for summer 2023?

#

if tryin to prep from no background, i reccomend learning like basic coding in python, and then doing leetcode easies on blind 75, that should be good enough for a good ammount of companies like ibm, raytheon,lockeheed, schwab, fidelity

Like JPMorgan ,master card etc

sharp sedge

tbh most ikely youlle be fine

yeah in that case you probably don't need prior knowledge lol

sharp sedge
#

but it doesnt hurt to make work on projects if youre relaly worried

static spindle
sharp sedge
#

or idk

static spindle
#

also, it would help to look up their tech stack

sharp sedge
#

i went into my internshis with no prior coding knowledge

static spindle
#

JPMC for example uses Java and React.js

#

so knowing those beforehand would be helpful

#

*and would set you ahead of your team

past wadi
#

I'd be great for me to get a return offer, although unlikely but I thought I'd have to prep to atleast catch up wiv the Cs students

also dont know anytihng

past wadi
#

Tbh they come from decent unis , idk where u guys r from but like

becuase projects in class and stuff are very differnet from real work

but hes prett social

but if you still want to prep, look up their tech stack and study that

past wadi

but yeah p much, if youre super new to coding maybe learn like oop principles

#

but other than that

past wadi

and just copying random code examples you see n the job

# past wadi Felt like other peeps should've gotten it not me😂 but we move

everyone goes through this. I worked at JPMC as a sophomore, my junior, more experienced friends didn't get the job. I was expecting to be the worst person on my team bc of being young/inexperienced, but it did not take long to find out that with some googling skills it is possible to be the best intern in the room

past wadi
#

Haha love that so much

#

Can I put googling skills on my cv

static spindle
#

no lol

past wadi
#

Dam it

static spindle

its what actually matters in most circumstances along with motivation to learn, but do not ever put that on a cv

past wadi
#

Awhhh☹️😔

#

One day I will when I apply for full-time jobs, just to experiment

sharp sedge
#

you would be surprised how stupid some ppl are

#

some mfs will ask there mentor every single thing even if its easily googleable, and then theylle forget it, and then ask the same thing again

near swallow
# past wadi I'm tryna prep for the actual internship

Similar situation to you, my CS background was poor, had an average F500 internship, and now in a pretty demanding team at a tech company. TLDR is just grind lc. Don't prep for the internship. Your time is limited and before you know it you will be thrown into the new grad market. Get good at LC, and maybe once the school year starts you can spend 2 or 3 weeks on sys design to round out your skills. All the other stuff you listed that might be covered in a CS curriculum... literally the only things worth knowing are DSA and OS.

#

Once you start internship, get used to spending 2 hours after work leetcoding, you will be very glad you did.
