Tf u mean the left back
oh hella nah
Ronaldo is absolutely shit rn
fucking whiny ass
Motherfucker
bang wagon š„±
bruh
he didnāt even start in most games
no shot heās better than Messi
https://leetcode.com/problems/top-k-frequent-elements/
anyone know why u would use bucket sort instead of a heap here?
Top K Frequent Elements - Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return the k most frequent elements. You may return the answer in any order.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,1,1,2,2,3], k = 2
Output: [1,2]
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1], k = 1
Output: [1]
Constraints:
- 1 <= nums.length <= 105
- -104 <= nums[i] <= 104
- k is in...
anyone know why u would use bucket sort over heap here?
for top k frequent elements
right but bucket sort is faster than the heap approach
ye
is bucket O(n) then
ye
thanks guys
assume ur rejected until u get notification that says ur interviewed lol
freq is bound by size
HRT final went well
tysm
counter attack crazy
Ronaldo who? š
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HOLY
Itās SWE not quant trading but still super excited
I will
Cuz idc abt soccer really so Iāll pick whoever
Messi is the goat
Will Spotify ever open SWE summer apps
no they hate you
never
do u know if they still recruitingfor swe or too late
i aint do the oa
forgot
I think they sent out emails to people on early steps saying they were full
So like still doing finals
But yeah
People in finals are being told that itās full?
lowkey failed my final but landed 2 interviews
Anyone have NVIDIA SWE AI Infrastructure-Autonomous Vehicles interview this week?
what does it take for me to get a big tech interview 
You a masters/phd student?
Bachelors
Oh nice you must have significant experience what area did you apply for? (If you didn't email someone than the 'area' part won't make sense, but I am still curious what kind of experience you have)
Seems like I can't pass resume screen for those that send me an oa in the first place
would it be risky to sign a spring offer and then possibly back out and ask to switch to summer?
do you have to put unpaid internships in employment history
do you put volunteer work on employment history?
Anything on your resume should be validated
No theyāre sending out finals just no new people I believe
Hahahha ty
im torn between just taking my return offer or making a move up
this late into the season
Should I push my grad date up as much as possible if Iām a freshman and expect to graduate 1-1.5+ years early?
What if I already applied to some, do you think itād look bad if my LinkedIn grad date (and new resume) differs from the one I sent?
Iām coming in with a lot of credits
Same
I was thinking about grad in 2 and quickly decided against it
then 3 and got advice to not bc recession from a mentor
Yea I def will in the future
Worst comes to worst and I change my mind, Iād probably go for a masters
Remove linkedin grad date
Remove LinkedIn grad date then contact each employer and tell them I made a mistake?
Whatās the point of removing it then, why not just leave it at what it is
U already said u came in with hella credits anyways
To not get caught in a lie
No point having it on Linkedin anyway
My current grad date is set to 4 years on LinkedIn
My resume also says 4 years
Ok then back to your original question
Iāll remove it for future applications though
Yes I understand
next year š¢
Just to be crystal clear, im saying u should remove it from LINKEDIN. Keep the resume grad date and if you wanna ālieā about that one for reasons you said, ok go for it
There is no poiint to having linkedin grad date if youāre just gonna risk being caught in a lie
Yep, I got that, thanks
yea lol
Congrats!
holy shit juda is cracked
i dream about palestine
juda does solving 860 leetcode help u get a response from google

mine would be smaller than vagena
sometimes i wonder if mfs speak english

It sounded like you watched too much of that dahmer documentary
Yooo frrr I see people thirsting over him on Twitter 
Do you want my Netflix list
same
i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode i love leetcode
time to start now 
read atomic habits
Donāt read it during exam szn
Donāt get trapped with the āhow toāsā when you should be doing
I havenāt read it yet but itās on my list
How to touch grass book

what are you? the diagram diety?
i got an interview at some bay area start-up. clowns want me to do 5 hours of interviews (incl system design) in the middle of finals season
and no housing/relocation
this is after a takehome that took ~8 hours
no
dont wanna name its rly small
probably closed at this point
not worth
im pulling out of the process bruh
not fucking my grades
prepping for that is going to make me fail my final legit
i sacrificed by grades to get my offers
thats a lot of leetcode questions solved
7.5 hours of leetcode per week, i cri every time
real
64 OAs
wtf
these were my stats š
waiting to hear back from one final still
wait
i didnt apply until sept 3 for amazon
didnt get oa
i applied to like 40 and heard back from 10 not bad
i just used a random google sheet
Is a 30% response rate (including auto OAs) considered good?
same, for me it was probably 100+, 1 interview, 1 offer for frosh year, for soph year it was ~30 applied, 15 responses
ya
i did say this and i stand by it.
fuck zon
someoke said a funny conversation was happening in the quant channel
hbu
yea
google offee?
do you think its auto email
was so pissed that meta u didnt happen this year

yeah true
Bro fuck
My meta recruiter got laid off
So idk if theyāre gonna reach out
I saw her post on LinkedIn
Im praying project search comes in clutch
Meta slowly but surely sliding into worst place in FAANG
I feel like amazon is a bit underrated for what it is

like people really shit on it so much
but its still way better than 90% of companies out there, and its compensation, wlb, and work itself is still good
zon op
imagine amazon creates its own trading firm
amazon trading
wouldnt that be op tho
imagine if apple took like billions of their profit
and just created a big stock portfolio
hello š¤£
@hearty river
Anyone have a good resume
That their getting a lot of interviews with
I have a decent one and getting a lot
But I want to step it up
What does the hiring process look like for most companies starting from last week? My data point: no OA invite and a few resume rejection emails.
add google, facebook, and jane street to your resume
then you'll hear back at most places
wait do did u apply this yr?
any goog summer intern got team matched?
Yo i have google summer program
Lmfao
I need Jane street summer program r smth 
Also got a prev intern at a local company
anyone be on the salesforce interview track rn
_ _
ive never done blind75
what did goku do
what did goku do
š
goku got zon wow
honestly coffeezilla did such a good job covering it
gokuzon
also someone posted how some of sams answers that were recorded could geniunely be used in court off the straight up borderline confession he got
zamn
Gokuzon
coconut was the guy that got amazon and complained that he only had zon
for months
it's easy to get amazon
like literally every time someone would be sad, and crying about no internships, coconut would be like "same bro š , i only have amazon"
just go to the app store/play store
plz dont say this
ngl amazon talk is so humbling after getting rejected
never seen so many kids go "reeeee" at the same time
dw i didnt get amazon either
endorsi was the guy who livestreamed his interview right?
yeah but i got ghosted from amazon

š„
@median hedge (salat strat)
Salat lowkey carries my mental health no cap
Krishna, Salat wombo combo
at least finals are over, i can just focus on lc and shit now
my break is gonna be cut short
cuz my internship starts on jan 3
who thought starting right after new years was a good idea
nah i limped across the finish line
orgo be like that
now i have this amazing reward tho
its called:
Orgo 2

bro is premed and cs
honestly a suicide choice
dont do this plz
just choose one path and stick to it
econ is nice
cs physics š¤®
Cs + math = quant
Stats would be such a good minor to have ngl
no its fine the premed negates it

it's probably just auto sent
Smarter != more scalable
they could've already made a shortlist or they rejected your resume for some random reason
also if 50 chumps get perfect on OA but ur headcount is for 25 then thatās it
since passing a test is some metric its easier to use that as just a first pass to reduce numbers of resumes needed to be looked at
Itās like game 1 of squid games, they just wanna see people get filtered out
Honestly i think they do that. They send mass OA to make it easier to resume screen
I hate it too it just is what it is
yeah just auto sent, it doesn't take any of their manhours for you to take the test it wastes your time not theirs
definitely lame but yeah is what it is
Amazon Iād honestly rate higher nowadays
The ethical and social concerns of supporting Spyware Inc vastly outweighs Amazonās ethical issues nowadays imo
Ethically, Meta is worse than Palantir at this point in my eyes
Yeah but they just host data and run web servers for CIA, NSA, etc on AWS
Whereas Meta openly allows any government who pays enough to run disinformation campaigns and purchase massive amounts of individualsā data
orz
t10 congrats!

if you use test scores as ur initial screen, much easier to just remove all candidates under x score and look at those resumes rather than look at every resume


i go to a top 194 school
u a victim opines
š¼
have u gotten a offer?
š bros gonna make me sad the rest of the day
can i see the resume u used to get ur first?
Machine learning cum
Yeah school doesnāt matter that much. I got to school in 230s
bett
THE JUDA 5300
I mean true but Its also prolly cuz I started late and this step too
True. My first internship was Meta and i only had Meta as a past internship
Coming

hi

i got my gca score when i did it for square

Hello

nah I had a Citedal OA but didnt realize I had to so I missed it
bro really said mid school

JACCKKK what up bro
i go to a very mid school and got dropbox as my first internship šÆ
this ur first time?
yeah im 2025 grad
yeah
like for fall?
NEXT YEAR GOOGLE OR BUST
I have but a lot of rejections tbh
felt like I was talking to girls
š
wym got shit at LC or what
they were till crypto winter and sbf
@hearty river
im interning there rn and its not a bad company, incredibly smart people. Everyone was incredibly depressed when stocks vested tho lol
@hearty river
microsoft?
ohh dman btw did u get ur 2 summer offer?
both
coinbase is almost as school slutty as palantir
I think like 50-60% are top cs schools
doin both at the same time?
no
lol
Which place had better food?
yo how many LC questions have yall done
yeah i mean difficulty of getting in != eng quality imo
like there is definitely a correlation but I wouldnt say its a direct thing
tbf docusign internship was just poop
bad manager bad team
my team and manager are 100x better right now and im actually given fun challenging work
I didnt do anything at docusign

Granted itās a bit inflated cuz I was copying and pasting when I initially started.
Around 500 is probably more accurate
i did like 30 and stopped for 2 months š
@stable badger @gentle latch when did yall start LC?
bro rounded it to 300 š
I started 1/1/22
True
I did 2-3 new ones everyday and reviewed 2-3 ones I did before
would u say u solved em without lookin at solutions?
dmann thats crazyy
acc thats possibl;e
bro my teacher didnt even go over DP for DSA š
most of the class was OOP
I'm a career changer & have a family so I got a lot of weight on my shoulder
Did u get robinhood?
ohh Praxis what was ur first internshiP?
I thought TheCat was a bot
š
its okay mr cat
u will get through it
is that a lc problem/
?
ye this look too hard for me
š
but like u never got stuck in any problem?
where u had to find out why?
My prof just copied house robber and used it as a coding assignment
humm how long do u reccoment on a problem?
I sent her the link to the problem and then she replied with "I'll let you pass this time"
I think the graph is the easiest med-hards for me. DP is still my weakness. Too bad companies love to ask DP in OAs.
Snowflake fucking loves DP
like when your are trying to find a path in a graph, is that also meoization when u mark down visited cordianate?
BRoo aint no way
I got 3 graphs problems and 40 Dps for OAs
I'm an actuary rn
its not blind 75
i mean
ohhh
nvm I see it
was lookin at Dp
would it be better with memoization ?
I did this problem like 10 times and I just memorized the code š
I don't even remember what the algo is
š bro what
idk isnt max holding something visited?
wait nvm
yea I havent done that
yall think if I finish Blind75 Ill starting seeing other problems better?
aw I done like 20
first one is ez
do they ask bit manipulation?
on interviews or OA/
Yeah, don't spam like me. I think Neetcode 150 is like the ideal maximum amount. Beyond that it's a diminishing return
aw yea I guess it can be ignored
@uneven crane what about Intervals and math and geometry>?
Yeah graph/tree is easy to spam since it's 99% dfs/bfs
and sometimes dijkstra or spanning tree
yeah I can do graphs all day
dp I get stuck beyond coin change lol
dynamic penetration
aye where do yall normaly looke for new apps?
whtas repo?
dw I got like 3 rejections today and I don't remember applying to them
hell no id still rather do assembly
anyone elses back hurts a ton
and neck
and shoulders
damn it
š same
rly
my projects are Udemy course follow-along projects š
can somone review my resume, ima fix it during this winter if needed
i forgot about that
same. I'm very good at exaggerating my accomplishments lol
My final interview success rate is 100%
too much backpain n less sleep were doin ARM assembly which is kinda useful but the rest of the class is useless overly insanely hard bs
like insanely hard
4/4
omg
x86 vs arm vs mips? what's more useful
yeah the only problem is getting to the final round lol
np yk how classes r here its horrible
lru cache is like LC or gtfo question
if you did LC you can solve in 10 min
if you didn't you're screwed
Iām the exact opposite. Havenāt struggled getting to final rounds but usually get rejected at this stage (or headcount is already filled)
Yeah i just sell dope in the final round. If they can't verify, I exaggerate the fuck out of it
my dad's a journalist so I learned from the best
Raytheon and Lockheed
ohhh I can do that but what is their pay?
lol
bro Im tryna get into faang internsips š
or big tech
Robinhood is going to insta-reject me if they see all the dumb trades I made in 2020
yea ima grind this winter with LC
but idk if I needto add another project
something maybe algo based
not sure
what they look for
bro wants me to learn a com diff langague
and then I bought GME at the top š
@uneven crane ur a new grad at Robbinhood?
he is manifesting
Is he good at explains lc problems?
Heās a top 50 leetcoder so I would assume so lol
tbf explaining and solving are fairly different
Yeah ik lol
Neetcode is good at explaining
Yea like sum ppl can solve problems but canāt teach it well
Also Michael Muinos
Wym?
Idk if this comforts you but someone told me it took around 9 days after team matching round to get offer
Ima check him out
He does everything in Java though
I LC in Java so it helped a lot
I heard Javaās ass but is used everywhere
I have 8% of the time
Dam fr
350 apps
i got like 3 non automated responses
No Java slander will be tolerated
Same
Iāll post mine for the f of it
I think itās my buzzwords
Im like a double major + minor lmfao
Pretty similar case lol
100%
Hybrid engineer major + csen minor
Might drop the minor once I can get an internship so I can take cooler graduate electives
Yeaits not much but hey I had something
Still waiting for my research paper to be accepted into this conference
Then Iāll list it
Bro got awards š³
Your response rate would be 100% if you had double dip calculator on resume
š r Java applications good for resume?
Any are
Ima do mine like this
Hey as long as you can describe what youāre doing
I have highschool leadership award šš
Nice format
Ah thanks
thats impressive projects tho
I have a chess tournament award
Yeah Java Spring is a popular backend framework
Shows ur thinking skills š³
i wish i had a chess tournament victory to put on resume
besides my middle schools tournament
I just applied to the sys dev thing 2 weeks ago

Hope you donāt leave your kids for the milk
š„
Stark Corporation?
I mean I got 1 offer from it from a milk company
U have one more than me
They let 1.0 round up
My typo wss i accidentally put 3.1 instead of 4
Dude Iād list it
ši simply so not see it
Not rly itās milk companies count as 0
My cumulative is worse
my real gpa is 4 not 3.1
3.2-3.3

So list major
Yāall sad about faang?
Yeah um
I just want my target hr person to confirm that I got the part time retail role š¢
Bro u got google interview kinda op
I got ghosted but applied first day apps was open
Got huge referrals there
Target retail has bad wlb
Dude walmart is ghosting me
Im sadge
So

Was it from a SWE lvl 3+?
Yea he 5
Dyamm
Wiat when is ur interview

What year ru
3
I did a local internship
Already
I want smth decent now
I have to go reach out to my geico recruiter
And at&t
And some other companies
Damn bro got all connections
R they still recruiting?
They hit me up on handshake
Fidelity
Idk maybe lmdao
Ohh
Geico actually rejected me
And then hmu with referal on handshake
And then I did the oas and shit they gave lmfaoo
After
Bro what how does that work š
Clownery
LMao
Idk
It just did

Dis mine rn lmdoa
Lmfao
Ignore the typos
Kinda outdated
I have way better projects now gotta update it
Im trying to improve my resume better
I transferred so I spent a year already there
Basically graduatin in 3 and hakf
In total
Is it
U have 23
Ye
I plan to graduate early but
Could push back
Who knows
I still got mad interviews comin up
I need to land one pradge
Frfr
I kinda wanna learn cloud computin
Ooo where
Iāve gotten Fortune 500 interviews
Whdykm learn cloud computing
Itās a big industry thing isnāt it
Well im still waitin on at&t and geico to update me on the situation, this company in nyc wants me to interview with like 2-3 separate teams, and some local company ones
For certain
Just neat to have it as a class
Thereās a grad elective called cloud computing I might want to take
They let me take grad courses for electives if I petition it
if my internship requires me to be in-office for 1 wk/month would it be cheaper to just go to that city for the days i have to be in office
Infra where youāre building the infra is swe
Ig infra is a loose term but thereās a big difference from maintaining infra and building it
I donāt think sre is bad but probably reading the description is good to know what sre is at that company
Doesn't look worse, it's just an internship. Plus you can probably internally switch over from SRE to SWE if you don't enjoy it if you plan to convert FT there.
what does bubble phone screen typically entail?
Hm what should I do instead
Aight bet
Yo is ur resume good btw
Need some tips š
Aight bet
But its more like testin type of shit and matchin metrics
Maybe I do QA methodology engineering intern
O
Some people switch tho
Ngl just to get the engineering keyword r smth lmao
Also it wasnāt a internship so this would be misleading
Maybe I was thinking more along keeping that but changing the data analyst thing to more like software engineering r smth like that
I didnāt purely do testing
Yeah
So I worked on the qa methodology team
So would I do methodology Engineering intern
O is that fine hm
Im only applyin for swe roles
Yeah I was just scared bc
It might seem a lil misleadin
Uk
Yeah i did
I developed shit too
Like the way we tested was
We developed the same thing
And then compared

So it wasnāt really testing
It was developing
Ok kewl thx for the advice
Can I see ur resume if u donāt mind tryin to make mine bette
My response rate has been pretty good but
I wanna make it higher
Anyways whats the best way to learn cloud computin, anyone ?
by doing cloud computing tasks
gg
i think theres a devops roadmap
nvm that link dont work

Meta said they would open up in November
Iāll believe it when they actually open
Spotify also said they would open in November. That didnāt happen either
where does meta rank on the faang difficulty scale
above amazon, below remaining

thatās a lotta problems
GOAT
whats master on cf mean
bruh
i feel like the nichest of niche csmajors understand that unless im just out of the loop on cs stuff
šš»šš»šš»š
it's far better than 3k rating in lc
Meta easier than microsoft?
Are u saying like in terms of landing meta or the difficulty of work at meta?
I think it is landing
Ahh ok I was gonna say. I hear meta is really hard to survive at
Meta just depends on how much you can memorize lol
ez clap if youāve studied bio 
i need to start doing codeforces again
i should be able to hit expert
but i still suck at DP and combinatorics
expert doesn't required much dp and combi
tbh
No need to even memorize, just use ChatGPT 
it doesn't
i usually sit between 1500-1700 performance
except edu rounds
then my performance drops down to green 
that's enough for expert
i just skip edu rounds
ik... more for interviews lolz
tbh for interview at top tech
u just need specialist
that's more than enough
India and China are wild
true
they grind competitive programming the way NA peeps grind lc
when I was in high school I have to learn with kids that all have been candidate master +
that's fucking bad childhood
fake news
they grind in elementary school
and high school
and jr high ofc
I skip cf for 2 years and now my level drop to specialist

there's an IM in the errichto server
who's like
9th grade or smth
there's a 9th grader at my university taking algebraic topology
we're all screwed
grind harder
im chinese
sadness
at least I have to reach CM in next year
ill hit cm whenever i have time
find a job first huh ?
bro that's great
and a research job rn š
and school
no time to grind cp anymore
but i want to š
