I’d say stick w figma and ask snap for off season (ik they aren’t doing off season rn but still try asking). Dont think burning bridge w figma is worth it

#

U can try for ml team next summer

#

In terms of resume val, i’d say figma as well

wheat flower
#

i already tried asking snap for off season and they said no 🥲

sullen grail
#

But it’s not like snap not good. Both will get u great interviews next yr

wheat flower
#

hmmm i see i see

sullen grail
#

Yea, do figma then

#

Figma as a sophomore really good. Try getting into ml researcg at school and take classes

#

And then hope for a team match w ml nxt yr

wheat flower
#

i think id go for figma fs before adobe acquisition

quiet plover
#

Very pog routine

wheat flower
#

and then also i dont rllyknow how good intern experience will be at figma bc i am in nyc office and they dont have many interns over there

quiet plover

we need unions but it just sets salary minimum and not cap

#

idk why unions arent already like that

#

i want my state mandated 200k 20 hr/wk job

proud crag
#

imo any union shud set minimum wage

#

and be capless

#

so like faang salaries are never affected

#

but cringe employer payint 50k has to now pay 78 for enry lrvel

#

i dont understand

#

im making more than any union could negotiate either way

I want to work as IT in my school by this year or next

Yea fr

But yea this is where you should break into work

And to put the foot down

It’s definitely not easy as a student but helps you far in career

Anything helps especially in this season

I'm. tired of stuck in expert

broken meadow
#

if a leetcode solution is genuinely new to me then i wont shy away from spending hrs trying to digest it

quiet plover
#

Do daily + neetcode's list

broken meadow
#

there are different depths in understanding tho and imo its valid to choose how deep u decide to go into it

quiet plover
#

There's more than the 75 one

#

Yeah there's like 300 after that one

frigid gate
#

so normally u are taking part in contest and solve all first three ?

broken meadow
#

most of the hards i encountered did not feel that hard to me weirdly lol

quiet plover
#

Damn Juda grinding hards

frigid gate
#

so what's your lc rating now bro ?

broken meadow
#

most of the time its just 1 more concept to juggle over some medium variant

#

either that or its dp and it gets hard designation out of being dp i feel

frigid gate
#

1k6 rating lol

#

wtf dam

#

you making me wanna grind more

#

frigid gate
#

u mean number of problem ?

#

wait Juda why don't u take part much in contest ?

broken meadow
#

then i encountered super egg drop. that one felt like a bona fide hard question(whatever thats supposed to mean)

frigid gate
#

lol take part with me bro

broken meadow
#

i only studied up to the binary search optimization for super egg drop

frigid gate
#

microsot u mean ?

broken meadow
#

tbh i dont think a interviewer would give this question in good faith. the problem statement has so many potential pitfalls to stumble over imo

wide socket
#

Juda gib tips

#

on how to big ball on lc

#

yeah

broken meadow
#

maybe the “brute force” dp solution that just translates the recursion formula

wide socket
#

honestly not fond with that

#

im goin thru the nc 350

broken meadow
#

personally, it was the first time i ever saw how monotonic functions could hint towards trying binary search.
it felt very big brain to me

wide socket
#

I blew this

#

interview

#

lmao

broken meadow
#

always not increasing or always not decreasing function

#

so the two outcomes of dropping an egg, if u view those as functions then they are monotonic with respect to x (floor) iirc

wide socket
#

yeah ro

#

bro

#

they asked straight dp

#

and

#

I SUC AT DP

#

as of now

#

I gotta improve

#

yeah

#

I got asked

#

and I flopped

#

mine was medium/hard

#

dp

#

too

like ;p

my algos prof really pushed us to git gud at dp. so i hope them faang mans dont stop asking dp 😂

north portal
#

on GOD bro

broken meadow
#

neetcodes the only youtube resource i go to for leetcode personally. love the way he meticulously walks thru examples

wide socket
#

if I did grind becomes less later on and u can enjoy

#

college more

#

;p

north portal
#

@dense tinsel the thing is, this is cool and all but like u should honestly not stress nearly as much

broken meadow
#

im bad at fending away the temptation to just lazily gloss over walking thru examples myself

dense tinsel
#

is there anything wrong with just exploring neetcode a bit?

north portal
#

by the time u get into college, shit will change a lot

dense tinsel
#

i wont grind it all day

north portal
#

u dont even know if this information will help u to that level at that point

dense tinsel
#

neetcode wont help with usaco?

#

i thought it would to a certian extent

#

aww poop

sinful locust
#

use this as a cringe button

north portal
#

no, USACO is just know ur math and problem solving

dense tinsel
#

alr then nvm about neetcode

north portal
#

also @dense tinsel USACO is way better

#

if u get like a good ranking on USACO, just put that shit as a project

#

i know a kid who has USACO plat and thats gonna carry his ass in internship szn

wide socket
#

Who is usaco

#

What is this

north portal
#

i just wasnt on the CS track in hs so i never bothered

#

bro USACO be getting kids into UIUC

#

get plat and ur set

dense tinsel
#

so idk if i should grind it

#

i think i should tho given how good it is for college apps

north portal
#

oh

broken meadow
#

nah just tell yourself u couldve gotten plat if u actually tried

north portal
#

isnt their OOS CS acceptance like 1%

north portal
dense tinsel
#

tf u mean

north portal
#

out of state

#

its 7% overall

#

still super hard

#

yea true

#

the person i know was also cracked but not valedictorian level

dense tinsel
#

really?

#

ok bet imma grind it after i save my semester gpa

#

if i get gold ill be happy in junior year

#

plat senir year hopefully

north portal
#

u in hs

#

focus on gpa

#

getting a prestigious college will help u so much more when ur tryna aim for these quants and shit

#

on par

#

u need both

#

❤️

#

the thing is, too many colleges arent holistic enough

#

its a checklist

#

if u got a good gpa, at the end of the day USACO and that will get u in

#

but a good USACO cant compensate for gpa

#

yea

#

exactly

safe minnow
#

It’s kinda odd how much college admissions get discussed here when almost all of us are done with it

we started mcat preps and groups for it, and i wanna die

wanna hear my workload

safe minnow

All the premed students ik all hate their lives rn

north portal
#

i got 18 credit hours + 13 cc credit hours, EMT, Research at a lab, Netapp internship, and mcat prep on the side

safe minnow
#

Tbh it’s like us when a shit season happens

broken meadow
#

premed sounds like such a meme

#

dont u just go straight to med school in europe?

north portal
#

u just make more hours

broken meadow
#

at least i think thats the case in UK

north portal
#

yea partime internship

north portal
#

UK has their own process

#

u need to take BMAT, and have EC's for it as well

safe minnow
north portal
#

Med is just hella stable

safe minnow
#

Yeah that’s the upside

north portal
#

and it pays relatively well if u specialize in the right thing

#

like getting 400k+ for like the rest of ur life, for clinicial practice is very appealing

#

u wont enjoy ur 20s, but ur 30s and beyond are luxury

north portal
broken meadow
#

i feel like there’s something off about med education such that many students use anki

north portal
#

This is such a great life im living!

north portal
broken meadow
#

im speculating abt stuff way out of my depth but

north portal
#

u can map a lot of info to key words and remember them

broken meadow
#

effectively using anki has felt way more trickier in math and cs

#

its hard to disentagle stuff

north portal
#

in biology and psych

broken meadow
#

or figure out the knowledge dependencies or whatever u call it

north portal
#

its 90% memorization

broken meadow
#

to effectively make cards

north portal
#

so anki is great

broken meadow
#

meanwhile in my intro biol course, making anki cards felt way more straightforward

north portal
#

mcat biology be like, name the most obscure part of the phospholipid bilayer in 10 seconds

#

anki helps me get that

broken meadow
#

yeah, idk what my conclusion is. just a peculiar observation that ill be keeping in mind for now

Does anyone know if I can learn anything from quant that's applicable to SaaS

#

Technical skills and stuff, is the low level stuff that quant swe do important to SaaS startups?

#

Isn't algo dev more on the math/stats side

Wait do QT need MS/PhD

Krishna Das Labs

#

Daszon

tawny pine
#

quant dev stuff can be very heavy dist systems work

#

doesn't have to necessarily be, but you're usually much closer to the design/architecture

#

so you can work that as a strong point on your resume

#

ah yeah a lot of the places I was applying to were series b/c unicorns or e stage+

livid atlas
#

Do quants always send out OAs?

#

Oh I seee

#

Is there a list of companies that auto give OA?

static spindle
#

akuna, sig, virtu (maybe not) also auto i believe

#

DRW auto

#

yes

#

I got 3 referrals sadge

#

yes

#

no it is 100% free

#

because they processed other mfs who were worse candidates in 2 weeks but delayed my final until they were full

#

fuck capital 1

#

no

#

next year we ascend above c1

#

yes u

#

bro they accept 680 codesignal forget about the trick

dense spear
#

idk i think c1 is fine

#

i did c1 codesignal did alright, and the rest of the interview powerday was super fair

#

i chose my language idk what happened to u

#

i chose python though

#

their intern pay might be the same as full time but 120-140k for 0yoe is not bad

static spindle
#

just sounds like your interviewer was a dipshit tbh

dense spear

^ lil bit

static spindle
#

fuck c1

dense spear
#

i mean sure its no big tech pay but in a market like this why turn down the opportunity if you had no others yk what i mean?

and c1 is not just any job

yall clown on it hard

but its like 2x most of the newgrad pay

i mean even now i got the copium react on my message 💀

yeah but hubspot is smaller and harder to get into afaik

not by a long shot imo

C1 has p good wlb afaik though

#

i just LOVE hating on C1

#

because they suck

#

I do not know what fidelity is

dense spear
#

Capital 1 with good wlb, a relatively acceptable bar that anyone with some coding experience can fulfill, and really decent starting salary is nothing to scoff at. I look at newgrad offers all the time and lots of people accept 80k-90k offers

#

cap1 giving 120-140k is not bad for the wlb and locations it has

id take it over defense contractors in a heart beat

of course you can, but sometimes people dont land better
