# grand dagger is there a "grokking talking to girls"?

To talk to girls, it is important to approach the conversation with confidence and respect. You should always be polite and respectful when speaking to anyone, regardless of their gender.

It is also important to listen and be an active listener when talking to a girl. This means giving her your full attention, asking follow-up questions, and making an effort to understand her perspective.

Overall, the key to talking to girls is to be respectful, confident, and engaged in the conversation. This will help to make the conversation enjoyable and enjoyable for both parties.

Talking to girls, or anyone else, should be no different than talking to anyone else. It's important to treat everyone with respect and approach conversations with an open mind and a willingness to listen.

Here are some tips for having productive and respectful conversations with girls:

Start by introducing yourself and making sure the other person is comfortable continuing the conversation.

Ask open-ended questions and listen to their answers. Avoid interrupting or talking over them.

Be respectful of their boundaries and personal space.

Be genuine and authentic in your interactions.

Avoid making assumptions or stereotypes about the person based on their gender.

Overall, the key to having successful conversations with girls, or anyone else, is to approach them with respect, openness, and a willingness to listen and learn.

proud crag
#

its mega rng innit

#

my friend got in through 15 minute "implement this thingy in swift"

#

although im certain it was him saying enough shit for the recruiter to go "yeah he knows more about apple app development than i do, ive seen enough"

frail moth
#

Got in as in into the next round or like an offer from recruiter phone…?

proud crag

as freshman

#

the man lives and breathes apple development so its a unique case tho

@near swallow is the goat as he built kirb300. I understand he has a new one but it doesn't have a cool productivity tracker like the old one so I say fuck the future and stick with the og

Tbh I just want to do more iOS engineering

which I haven’t really done before at a company

like march-june team 2
june - sept team 3 but yea

#

yea im in ios engineering

#

its cool

devout jewel
#

I kinda figured out why I keep failing apple interview

spice jetty
#

why

devout jewel
#

like I said in the past, they found something interesting about you versus the other candidates

#

so u need to figure out what that is

#

talk shit ton about it

#

My last interview

spice jetty
#

yup

devout jewel
#

The manager was really into iOS project but I didn’t necessary talk bout it as much

#

since it was small pet project that I didn’t think much of it

#

so I felt that he couldn’t see my skills clearly because of that

#

also partly I didn’t explain it as much since I don’t remember any of the code and project

spice jetty
#

my current incoming team is asks me pure lc 💀 and i think the other interview i tried for asked me lc too

devout jewel
#

damn

spice jetty
#

even tho its both ios engineering

#

lol

devout jewel
#

I don’t mind the lc since it’s good way to standardize how ppl work and code

spice jetty
#

im bad at lc i am traumatized

#

since my incoming team was an in person

#

white boarding interview

#

since i was conveniently still

devout jewel
#

just get some practice in 😤😤

That’s my issue

my only reservation with kirb350 is that its 350 questions

i know you dont have to complete all of it but like b75 is enough for interns (mostly) unless k350 is for ng

Twitter firings were funny

i wanted to be one of them 😔

but its fine, we grind and get in for real now

my entire goal now is to dominate 2024 season when im actually a junior

i should do more lc, and learn programming fr fr

my zon final was truly just the most humbling experience

I really said who needs to learn optimal twosum cuz it will never actually show up in an amazon final

they really spent 3 months on my interviews and then rejected me cuz of headcount

the first behavioural final had very bad vibes

#

second was ok for me

its honestly the hiring committee decisions after that are the most Rng

which is annoying

like I talked to my recruiter and he straight up told me headcount was the reason i got rejected, and i was like bro YOU GUYS spent 3 months to schedule all my interviews

Hi does anyone know if tiktok or arista networks do fall, and what would you choose between the two? I’m trying to optimize for trading swe ng next year

north portal
#

we need to keep fidelity rep up, so we can keep them as a free internship

#

im a huge stan cuz fidelity has insanely good wlb, and the work on specific teams can be geniunely nice

#

pay is too low

#

i wish they would pay more

#

if they paid like 100k, id geniunely consider them over most mid tier companies

#

like 100k and fidelity easily is better than Bofa, Wells Fargo, Walmart etc etc

#

fidelity is a good quant pipeline cuz its a finance company

#

any finance company good for quant

#

thats why im still considering fidelity over walmart

#

i hate hubspot

#

these fuckers took my final interview and rejected me cuz of headcount

#

then they called me and gave amazing feedback on my interview, and the dude goes "unfortunately we filled up before ur offer could be processed, try again next year"

#

C1 is chill but no career progression

just got hit w the fat rejection

#

after a month+ of ghosting

#

im mad as shit

#

wtf

#

all my non technical interviews i thought were fire too, my final at the end went over an hour of us just talkin and at the end he said tbh u did really good we gonna hear from u soon

#

zzzzzzzz

#

deserved.

#

im graduating in 2024 too no more chances at this

#

brutal as fuck.

#

blows, i think the only interview i did bad at thru their process. was the technical

#

i think i would rather pull my hair out than do a masters

#

i dont have any interest in stem or academics i am not gonna lie

#

is it really worth it

#

compared to just graduating on-time

#

why? is the new hire process much more rigorous than intern to ft?

#

i think im just gonna graduate and just see what happens.

#

i guess.

#

theres no other ocmpany id like to work at but whatever u pick and u choose ig

#

fuck me

#

i just want a cushy job so i can do other shit

hardy patrol
#

i still maintain that like 50% of cs majors either dont know or care about internships

# tribal lion do u guys just spend most of your time doing leetcode & applying??

In the land of Leetcode,
A realm of code and algorithms,
A young coder spent his days,
Tapping at his keyboard, lost in thought.

He toiled away,
Solving problem after problem,
A never-ending quest,
For the perfect solution.

But as the days turned to weeks,
And the weeks to months,
He began to realize,
That life was passing him by.

He'd spent so much time,
Trapped in his digital world,
That he'd forgotten,
The beauty of the real one.

So he stepped away,
From his computer screen,
And took a deep breath,
Of the fresh, outside air.

And as he gazed upon,
The world around him,
He realized,
That life was meant to be lived.

So he set aside,
His coding troubles,
And embraced the present,
A new and wonderful adventure.

I really need advice:

The next step in an interview with a small-mid size ML company is a take home project that you get a week to complete. The head of ML(who conducted the interview) reached out to me asking when I would like to start the assignment. All of my final projects are due next week Monday through Wednesday, so I’m thinking of asking to start on Thursday, so I can focus on the take-home assessment project and make it as good as possible.

Do you guys think that’s too long? The interview was yesterday. I don’t think I’d actually take a full week to complete it, so I could ask to start earlier. Not sure what to do

#

This may not be the best place to talk about this especially since this recruiting game works great for a lot of you here but do people feel like this entire process is just so heartless? Its like you are just stripped of your humanity from step one and reduced to your ability to solve arbitrary challenges or perform on a specific day with kind of random metrics

#

I understand there is a need to choose based on technical expertise so I don't expect hiring purely on personality in any way. But, the testing just goes about the wrong way both with the challenges used and the metrics used to judge performance

#

Yeah, that's fair and tbh I don't really have a solution for how this process should work. Obviously, the judgment of your performance does come down to the interviewer's subjective feedback if you have candidates who meet the correctness and efficiency metrics. The margins just feel so thin at times and from our perspective you just don't know what/how to do better sometimes and that can be crushing

#

I know it sounds like me complaining and tbf it is to some extent but this process is really making me question the humanity of this industry as a whole (I know this is probably the same case for other industries as well so there may be no point in thinking about this at all)

#

And, I also wanted to mention that the people for which this system works will continue to be woefully ignorant (and that includes me) about what it is like for people who are left behind by such a system and won't really try to imagine and push for a better system

real sedge
#

Yes the system isn't perfect, but I feel like it's definitely more achievable for someone who comes from a lower class background and who doesn't go to a top school to land top internships than other majors

#

Altho I do think the current system has flaws

#

But I can't think of a solution to it that doesn't have failings in it's own way

#

One solution often brought up is project-based testing, but I think that is subject to even more bias than leetcode style questions

#

Some people suggest just testing on trivia, but I feel like that would just skew towards people who have connections or get interviews earlier in the cycle.

north portal
#

Honestly just make people do an actual coding project that uses frameworks and shit

#

Hubspot did something similar iirc and it was supposed to represent on the job work which was cool

#

It also prevents leetcode monkeys from getting into an internship and realizing they don’t know what the fuck I’d going on with all the other aspects of programming like unit testing and various services/frameworks

north portal
#

Yea honestly I’d rather do that then 100 lc questions

#

Also no one says they have to be big project

north portal
#

They can be small segments or stuff

quaint bolt
#

And some companies use this as a chance to get people to do their tickets lol

north portal
#

But realistically no company wants to bother with it

#

But it wasn’t lc is what I was tryna say

quaint bolt
#

Nobody wants to spend a weekend designing and building a huge ass project only to get rejected

north portal
#

But yea it won’t work

sinful locust
#

Speaking of projects, I need to ask- if you're a 1st-year, what sorts of projects generate recruiter attention if you don't have internships? I see a lot of contradictions on reddit stating projects don't matter

#

Meanwhile people saying "Do projects if you don't have internships" and other people saying "Don't put Tic-Tac-Toe, a To-Do List or a Calculator on your resume"

ivory ocean
#

I’d say make “baby level system design” more common

#

Like C1’s case interview

#

Or SIG’s interviews

#

Design classes, give high level system overviews, debug or optimize already-written code

sinful locust
#

I already have my own, as you saw on my resume but I got rejected from several places and I wonder

#

If my projects were the issue, I didn't think they were bad

ivory ocean
#

Same SIG’s and C1’s interviews have been the most enjoyable to me, I don’t like being quizzed on bs DSA. I enjoy being quizzed on real job-relevant skills

#

Can I like read the code on those

#

I won’t steal

#

But they sound super interesting

sinful locust
#

ML projects?

ivory ocean
#

Hahahaha yeah my Amazon interviewer had designed the q for a c++ interview and when I said I wanted to use python he literally went “oh this is gonna be super easy then oh well”

#

Is that a math class

sinful locust
#

Oh is Stochastic Processes a common class?

#

I have one of my own at my school. wanted to take it, considering between DSP and Stochastic Processes

#

Going to be taking a bunch of ML/AI courses in the future, you would recommend?

Yeah it's a grad class

IM SO BAD AT SUBARRAY PROBS

#

hi matada its been so long

#
LeetCode

Maximum Subarray - Given an integer array nums, find the subarray which has the largest sum and return its sum.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4]
Output: 6
Explanation: [4,-1,2,1] has the largest sum = 6.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1]
Output: 1

Example 3:

Input: nums = [5,4,-1,7,8]
Output: 23

Constraints:

  • 1 <...
#

can I get a hint

#

I don't wanna look at solutions cuz that's way more than a hint

#

I feel like its gonna be sliding window

unreal flower
#

Ask chat gpt for a hint

ivory ocean
#

that'll be even worse than reading the solutions

#

@near swallow hint plz mr leetcode god

#

shit

#

no shot then

#

S

#

so

#

I looked at solutions

#

but I don't really understand how the largest sum subarray corresponds to the largest difference

#

but my thing is

#

you never reset the "tempsum" tracker to 0

#

its the algo used

#

but I was always abd w it

#

bad*

#

idk like it just never clicks

#

idk how to explain it

#
def maxSubArray(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        res = nums[0]
        msum = 0
        temp = 0

        for n in nums:
            temp += n

            res = max(res, temp-msum)
            msum = min(msum, temp)
        
        return res```
#

Here's my answer

#

so temp is the running sum of the entire array

#

res is the maximum subarray sum found

#

and msum is the smallest found

#

I guess I don't understand how the max found, minus the min found, gives the max subarray

#

is it because if we take 1 continuous subarray and maximize its sum, then by definition the rest of the array could be considered the "minimum summed subarray"?

#

ohhh ok I just realized that as I was explaining what I don't get

#

yeah that makes sense

#

do you do the DnC approach?

#

Oh I see haha

#
def maxSubArray(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        res = nums[0]
        temp = 0

        for n in nums:
            temp += n
            
            if n > temp:
                temp = n

            res = max(res, temp)
        return res```
#

bro that is so much more comprehendible for me

#
def maxSubArray(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        res = nums[0]
        temp = 0

        for n in nums:
            temp = max(n, temp+n)
            res = max(res, temp)

        return res```
