How does your heart handle it when your options goes down short term
My heart dies when I see my portfolio go down 25% in less than 4 hours
me when chopped cheese
despise product of array except self
like i know you have to like multiply every value but the first by each other then use that product and multiply it by the same but its just ridiculous conceptualizing it at first
FB chan real?
salat
Someone should make a cscareer.dev iceberg for lore
on my way
assert dominance
start coming into class with anime merch on
or just come into class looking like shinji




Apple chan
We have Roblox Chan
This is an actual human being
wait where
.
okay guys
out of java, rust, or typescript, what should i write my own docker API in
just pick a language
actually no rust
java or typescript
i only say this because i dont want to work with a complex language where pointers and shit are involved

trust me i love rust but i want ease
out of curiosity, why are you coding this?
mfs be just bored and create the next google
i wish i had your work ethic
oh
im a different breed
anyone know the kotlin equivalent for
try(Object o = ...) {
} catch (Exception e) {
}```
ur coding a docker api in kotlin?
Kotlin Try Catch for beginners and professionals with introduction, architecture, class, object, inheritance, interface, generics, delegation, functions, mixing java and kotlin, java vs kotlin etc.
Guys I'm newbie and learning JavaScript. Any suggestion me how to learn it effectively?
yes
not exactly what im looking for, ty tho, in java u can declare the variable in the parentheses of the try block
i just got onto amazon waitlist (for intern)
isn't kotlin syntax similar enough that that should transfer?
what are my chances of getting an offer?
yes i think so
watch a javascript, html, and css crash course by traversymedia, then watch someone create a static personal website on utube , then do one of ur own and understand every detail, then do a todo list app, then choose more easy projects
also once you're done watching these videos and you have your project 'completed' be sure to play with a ton of it and make it your own
traversymedia goated
😭

dude i don't know how but my amazon interview was so much easier than chick fil a
do you think they could like move us to fall?
any chances of that happening
I'm sorry but i dont think thats gonna get converted to an offer anytime soon
Makes sense, Chick-fil-A has fewer spots and is more prestigious than FAANG 🐔 
no way chick fil a is more prestigious
yea
where are you from btw?
lol i never asked
they give u free chicken sandwhiches
ok for next year, you think if i apply the day the application opens, i won't be waitlisted?
or does that happen too?
uhh like backup ig lol
in case i don't get in this year
can always reach out to local companies for this year as a backup
depends on how lucky/unlucky you get
but your best bet really is to apply asap
thats why i am a C1 hater
wasn't the application released in july though?
something like that
TIP (technology incubator program)?
Thanks
oh damn
they had a couple i think xd
ok are there any other FAANG/Big Ns that are easier or as easy as amazon?
but amazon is very rng with who they send OA and when
c1
to get shortlisted and get the OA and interview?
yeah that one was good but i fucked up the interview hard
lowest hiring bar this season
found out too late
rip
i was so ill prepared this season because i thought i wasn't ready for applying to any big companies
but in hindsight i shoulda started as soon as i entered college
yeah thats what happens w a lot of people
its a learning experience
- this is a terrible time to be applying for jobs and internships
wait also what do you think of that? @honest spire
and for fall 2023 too
good mindset
hmm define good resume
ok so basically i have fair amount of research and projects
no SWE experience yet though
i think it's an alright resume considering it went through ATS for some big tech companies
but idk if that's "good"
i had no idea that was a big deal lol
i heard they're like a really good place to work at though but i didn't know they were as prestigious as faang

free chicken sandwhiches
is it necessary to have an internship to have a good resume* (rip english)
No you just need an anime pfp
serious answer: i don't really think so
i will never forgive you ............ >;(
LOL
relevant
unbelievable
i never understood that. can you explain why?
i know a guy who got a 160k tc as a new grad for c1
but then like levels data shows that's uncommon
It's a green flag everywhere else
Probably return offer
Or nego
nah this is not necessarily the case, C1 is lowkey an exception
yeah it was
wait are return offers higher than new grad
I am also 
might be HCOL areas
Often times yes
oh why?
Ik Roblox has 210k normally but 260k return
They provide higher value than a normal NG
You would want to hire an intern that already knows your companies' shit already
Yeah it's like a 3 month interview
For cheap
160k is definitely more than the usual for C1, it was like 110K in Texas this year or last year. Is your friend working in san francisco or new york or smth?
i see
no mclean lol
wait no new york
mclean was like 10k less
i think
isn't C1 a pretty reputable/good place to work at?
even comparable to faang
Depends who you talk to, but generally yes
what about citi/jpmc?
dont listen to them
A bit lower but still respectable yeah
fuck capital 1
c1 the google of bank companies
JMPC pays $75 an hour for interns
No
no
thank you
That includes housing
no
It's closer to 60
no
Wdym
jpmc pays 75 in palo alto only
i kept getting lg oled tv c1 https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/c1-oled
75.11 surely can't be an actual salary though
most other areas, Columbus, plano, are 45
If it was 75 flat I would believe it
ohh ok
I think my RO was not a rounded number
Wtf
a lot of people on levels inflate their salaries to feel cool by incorporating every single penny from stipends and stuff
C1 interview was the hardest for me for some reason
but probably cuz i was null prepared
idk, might be a percentage increase?
they aren't really cheating though are they?
technically that constitutes income
I feel like c1 was on the easier side when looking at all of em imo
Maybe I got luckier
do companies ever ask djikstras algorithms and other weird shit?
i mean no but its unfair to consider that since companies like faang are below on levels since they didnt incorporate stuff like that
also its an internship
or are they mostly ctci/grokking type lc questions?
no one in their right mind would take jpmc over google because its higher up on levels
yeah but might be harder sometimes
Tbh if you know about levels you know resume value stuff too
Levels isn't something you know immediately
true
well i mean usually higher salary = more prestige (though not always the case)
for amazon what are the chances of getting an FTO if you do everything in your power?
for like summer 2023
we dont know lol
yeah impossible to tell
Yeah I bet if c1 pumped their FT to 400k NG it would be hella prestegious
given the current layoffs ROs are going to be unpredictable
ok but they're more attainable than others that are just as prestigious
fuck c1
if they pumpted it to 400k fuck google fuck two sigma fuck whatever im going to c1
u go to the right school!
Wait do you not go to UIUC 
Madison
no way google/meta is easier to get into than amazon/c1
for some individual cases sure
Oh
berkeley > uiuc
Uiuc CS reject 😖 wasn’t as cool as u big man
I mean it is true
just goes to show how rigged admissions are
It's just rng at some point
I’m not rlly bothered
Not quotas but I'm pretty sure they favor in state
wait who r u

We are secret lovers unbeknownst to his father (mike Bloomberg)
rip lambo privileges :/
@static spindle yo dis u?
they wanted like a 700 codesignal I should’ve applied earlier lmao
nah my friends were like calling me everyday making sure I applied to c1 and zon but I didn’t till oct lol I’m just dumb
(They both have c1 and zon offers)
lul
How would I know 
lol i applied november i got giga screwed
I wanna be one of bezos bozos
c1 is pretty good tho
i thought doxxing wasnt allowed in this server >:(
Lex luthor’s henchmen
Let’s kidnap juda and yoink his non vital organs
^_^ quirky
I think it's true?
I cant... he or she or they is too handsome :(
A quick yoinking
I'm no expert
ok just yoink them instead not their organs
Whatever it takes rich piana
I like the way you're thinking
deadass?
I have not seen
That game sucks so much
I cba to even play ranked this season I’m legit leetcoding for fun nothing is fun outside the gym
do u know the carnal joy you feel after seeing yourself becoming physically larger and stronger than sm1 that was cooler than u in hs
better than coke
u have objectively felt joy to a lesser extent than myself until this point
I pretend to then waste time on yr
Yt**
Full degenning using my cold as a scapegoat
wow I’m inspired
RO?
Ohhh
Is that how return offers work
I seeeee
wat do projects have to do with that
Oh to become better
I’m so silly
stop
In retrospect
Take as many creamer packets as u can and drink them
Dessert good too 👍🏽
Ya but u can’t just get heavy cream at x dining halls

So u get a bunch of creamer packs
How far is four lakes from state
I’ll come and show u how it’s done
never used before
Have a pass tho
good question
I don’t actually know what a lot of campus looks like
Or where four lakes is
What residence hall
?
I genuinely did not know that existed
Are Levels fyi salaries actually legit for entry level?
Yeah that’s what I thought
Cause someone reported 1.4 M lol
For what company and role?
Yeah makes sense
Amazon specifically
Amazon Principal Senior Site Reliability Engineer - 1.4M
It seems some people are getting 160k while others are getting 210k plus
I think I've heard of algorithm engineers at trading firms making that kind of money
COL
tbf they literally print money
Oh idk
https://www.levels.fyi/companies/amazon/salaries/software-engineering-manager/levels/director
Could be reading it wrong
Is scale still prestigious after the layoffs 
Ya it has a .ai
Scale AI 👎
Prepping for the future
I have more years of experience
At zon?
Reminiscing about the old days when all of us are seniors/principals/staff

I'll buy it off Elon
Not unless you suck off 🤷♀️
While I do agree with it being hella rng, I feel like the skills needed to develop are different to the degree that confuses some ppl
Man people skills are just important to having a good social life 😵
Can't imagine failing the people skills check at 35 man

that’s gonna be u chief
I’m not gonna be l7
😔😔😔
isn’t just a bunch of office politics to get promoted as well
interesting
if you’re working on core infra you’re already halfway there tbh
Just gotta get lucky and jump on a project leadership is looking at
Infra on a core product*
I guess rn ideally you’d be doing something related to AI
So that’d be azure ai at msft or equivalent stuff at goog
not really? They’re pushing for it heavily
It’s a good time to be in cognitive services from what I can tell
Layoffs has basically not touched the C+AI org
That's the spirit! Google staff or bust
from what I’ve been told just my team is basically everywhere tho so idk
simply bypass office politics via physical intimidation
thanks for the info im gonna find you now ^_^
ok
Wait same
Where are you interning
Then you wake up
No as in once you accomplish all of that then you wake up to reality

Yeah same
I find myself being so unproductive at night
F that shit
Is the poster a girl
That’s just a procrastination issue
I get anxious when I don’t have assigned work done

donno
would it make any diff
ong
there are people
who start their assignments
weeks before
the due date
I’m trying to predict if they are based on the skin on their hands
I think it is
go touch grass

worst part about doing a hw after a due date is that there is no longer a due date
becomes even easier to put it off
My classes just straight up don’t accept late hw
Wtf 
oh yeah for sure, I've been in situations where that wasnt on the syllabus lmfao or it's been like a solid 15% off your grade or something
thats evil
Yeah this is how it is
Your reward for doing work fast is more work

Sounds like a decent WLB place
Btw how bad is it to ask your assigned mentor for resume advice

yes more evenings is better
nothing excited happens in the morning
id work 7-3 if i could too
chad
Doesn't this signify that you're not gonna take the companies' return offer
Really?
Oh
Hmm
I can't see a way to phrase it that doesn't sound like you want to look for other jobs
Oh, thanks for both of you
Yeah
I feel like SV startups are a different breed
what funding is the startup getting? what series funding
It takes me extra time to read your name and @sinful locust cuz it's kinda similar 
How much did they raise
You can just give a range
If you're worried
Oh
Tf
Oh yeah
I remember that
In the UW servers?

Like pretending to be you on discord or in real life

Hi aack
Tell me something only pbjpie would know
frfr ong
that too
I want to get an internship
But I'm in nursing
And will be switching programs
To cs
A software engineering internship? Yeah javascript is pretty good
Once you learn javascript fundamentals you can start making website projects to put on your resume
A platform to practice job interview problems
Do I need to use it or will JavaScript be enough?
You'll need to use leetcode eventually to pass the job interviews to get internships
It’s only good once you get interviews and calls back
Otherwise just work on the resume building and experience and get it critiqued constantly
Just worry about learning javascript fundamentals for now
Cool 👍
thank you
Good luck
There’s point in leetcode if there’s nothing to show beyond that
Okay
Also
It can only help so don’t let it waste your time which is already precious
Yea for exposure
I'm not very good at coding yet
But the hackathons I’ve done I hardly had those projects on a resume
Didn’t win nor make a complete product
But good food and exposure and industry practice
Highly recommend talking to professors
Research or any experiential opportunity in school
It could even count towards credit like it did for me
@hearty river good night kitten
@hearty river good night kitten
@hearty river good night kitten
Thanks bro 😎
You have freed me from this torture. I’ve been looking for this advice for a while
Np chief
@hearty river good night doggo
gonna make my own company and then put myself at l7
is the highest rank l14
If you have premium you can do the LC Mock Online Assessments or the Mock Tests in the Hackerrank Interview Preparation Kits
what’s a dsa?
Whats faang?
what's hft ?
The love of my life
And it's destroyed now
Do you remember the question?
considering that was 3 months ago im assuming no
same question! do people know?
@proud crag
what we think about G-Research
i thought g-research was a google thing 
nah its a europe fintech thing

Should I try for faang or should Java be enough
Leetcode>>>>
what happened to it?
I remember trying to search up what happened but all i got was like 1 reddit post
feels like a community of faang salaried software engineers could host it and have enough money to host it themselves
Yall think nuro is going to ask me to implement secure boot? 
what about this tho
i guess he never open sourced his code
like what?
oh yea i just ignored that 💀
it was so nice for competing against friends tho
stop changing ur pfp im losing track of the real pbjpie
pbjpie is simply a way of life
a mindset
we are all pbjpie but at the same time none of us are
GYM
Stay focused. Your goals are your main priority. Stop being lazy. Go until failure and grind harder than you did yesterday. And achieve everything that you ever wanted.

Recursive backtracking time?
💀
least prestigious has to be radio shack
how long did it take u to hear back after OA btw
hubspot is usually pretty fast afaik
I’ve been waiting 9 days still waiting
mine was a day
this is smth interviewers normally want u to do im pre sure
1 day
even less, I did it at 11 pm and heard back at 8 am lol
damn did u hear back on a weekday
cuz i did it on saturday so im thinking I might need to wait till monday?
yes it was on tuesday
I’m confused tho bc people get rejections but I’m just ghosted
When should I email my recruiter
I did it in under 2 hours so i feel like I should move on
nah
Hey I'm curious
How beneficial is a referral for an internship
Does it basically just ensures you get the OA or does it carry more weight on the way
Can't hurt, but for the big tech companies usually it doesn't matter. For smaller companies it might help, some places allowed you to bypass OA stage with referral too (Redfin for example).
Any comp for people who accepted offer
Not interns/ new grd
Or did they not even give any
The big Zillow layoffs was for the Zillow offers team
i hope the layoffs allow people to do what they want with their lives
Both shit tho lol
I doubt Zillow would layoff their interns/ new grads. Even when they shutdown Zillow offers they helped their interns with return offers switch to a new team.
based
Their pay is shit too compared to Zillow
The texas pay for redfin was very good imo but yeah
Yeah it was mad chill wlb from what friends told me,
Whoever is saying tc is peanuts u can suck it tbh lol
goal in life is to make a difference and create my own company 
Have fun at amazon

Top tier pay low tier benefits
Low tier wlb
Stay malding failed quant aspirants
lowkey i can't see them laying off
I would have taken Redfin though if that was all I got, it's decent pay and WLB
Redfin always rejects me at resume stage, bullet dodged 
Bro, I bet even if you get Google you can't get ChickFilA offer

i hope so too
they pay in chicken sandwiches, it's worth more than hft

my application -> interview rate still doggy 
I lowkey think you can't put big N on your resume for chick fil a
Or else you'll get yield protected
Do y’all have multiple resumes you use to apply to companies according to their stack
huh ok
I feel like this is something you do after multiple years in the industry
when did this epidemic begin again
Yesterday?
i still think there's room to improve in terms of response rate, I'll see what new grad looks like 
what does pbjpie mean
That's just uncrustables right
the smuckers un crustable sandwhich?
Where does the pie come from 
it’s a small pie
id fuck a smuckers



The universe has aligned in the perfect way for you to open chat at this moment
how
No they’re normally not
do you really want to know
though they are in the frozen section of costco ig
I learned how to prove sqrt(2) is irrational, that was cool
this is the next part of my academic adventure
You can use fermat's last theorem to prove that rt(2) is irrational

now draw a dfa for a C style comment

###
hi
###
u left out one minor part
to not have anything after the last /*
didnt even include the reject states smh
what is this?
oh
state machine
idt my school ever covers state machines lmaoo
dog school
isnt that like automata theory
my school covers it in 2 required cs courses 😔
It’s in our discreet + architecture class 
you go to a good school
dfas are basically logic tho
I’m pretty surprised it’s not in your textbooks, it’s just a chapter extra
it was
Oh

dp is usually an algos thing
How would I know 
its the same
I didn’t transfer
ayo Jumpstart goes to school in the hood
why do cs when u can play maplestory jk
Wait no separate algos class?
15 now
🤔
How many credit hours
^
2 months late jk
how much social credit
i got 100 dollars for lunar new year so +100 social credit
my friend she got 700 tho so lucky
She either got a big family or her parents got some stacks
i spend my lunar new year money on weed lmao
2 cousins + her parents
i was gonna give her another 50 but now i realize she prob doesnt need it
Try it on options next year
It’s more exciting
no
Yes
i actually enjoy it
12
0 😎

yeah i only have cs courses
i took all the general education shit in my major early on
How many credit hours are each of your classes
im actually happy my highschool has like a DSA course
well, 1 year of just dsa
pretty helpful
and i dont have to worry about leetcode
like sefl studying cuz thats hard
no dsa
You aren’t in high school?
ap csa doesnt go past arraylists 
You have DSA in high school wtf
Threading?
yeah i took both of them back in high school

ya
kinda
my mom thinks itd be cool if i did but also thinks its too stressful
my school is like t3 in maryland
only thing my high school had was metal detectors for every student
big nerd
its cmu pipeline
so hs -> cmu -> quant pipeline sorta
the teacher says next year if we have time we can also learn C
no
which would be torturous
i briefly touched on linkedlist in a dual enrollment class tho
That’s super cool tbh I didn’t know AP CS existed
ap csa is more like how to use java and oop
How many DSA classes do undergrads usually take
i took like 2
my teacher actually claimed we could do like
os dev in the rare case we have extra time
but idk
can't you techincally do something like ```
/°comment*/int x = 0;
?
or am I brain farting rn
Wtf man
yeah ig
im so good at maplestory btw
but youve also gotta include the reject state after the first /
I’m ngl this doesn’t seem like a good idea unless a large portion of your HS is really into CS
oh yeah
I keep forgetting reject states
I wish my operating systems class was difficult
like it would split it into two tokens?
Didn’t learn anything
os and lang dev cant be that hard ive seen literal 13 year olds do it
it was a good lang
i was pretty humbled
Reminds me of those piano apps which advertises that you can be an expert in a week or some shit
🙏
we also split up data structures and algo at my school
seems like every other school has a DS AND A class
our school also teaches sorting and recursion in discrete math lmao
Yeah this is pretty common
unfrotunately w dont get to heuristic search algos and A* and stuf in my class
sleepwalk algorithm

String algos 
amirite @honest spire
REAL
I’ve got to take DSA in one semester, go through it all. Sucks man
im a white house intern
yk whats annoying is ppl who are really cocky but can back it up
cuz then i cant be annoyed at them
esp in the coding world

kids who are able to brag about being able to do whatever then they do it and u cant
and u have literally 0 response
I know some incoming jane street interns who are complete assholes/annoying as fuck
but also they are smart as fuck
so I can't say shit lol
they prob spent all of highschool circlejerking to USAMO problems
im defo gonna write one of those posts if i get an internship in HS
just to rizz jk
aww
internships have contributed negative rizz for me
Look if you sell your startup for at least a million dollars people will care, maybe if you get an international medal too
Otherwise nah
I remember seeing some cringe on LinkedIn in 2015
I’ve never even gone to twitter.com
I’m 25
Just seems like absolutely 0 incentive to make an account there
Everyone is angry
I'm assuming this dude is like an L6 at chick fil a
my mom says she wants me to get ml/ai internship this summer but isnt it too late to apply to stuff
like its all closed
or too late to prep for codesignal
next summer is ok as wel tho the main purpose is getting volunteer hours
and having something to write about for my college app
have your mom make a fake/throw away non profit org where you can build a website for it
Do you know stats lol
no
thats just dishonest tho
if i do a nonprofit its cuz i genuinely wanna do it
im not gonna game the system like that
yeah im applying to like precollege progrms
just do USACO then
thats what i plan to do
like shrigma grind usaco
does it matter which email i took my meta OA on
Too many giant steps forward
yeah imma use this
i was planning to start it after my semester finishes and my midterms are done
Do you care about ML or is it just for resume
Yeah the last one was tricky
yeah i got it brute forced
but my brute force was like
O(n^3) or O(n^4)
💀
the other 3 were easy tho
I didn’t qualify so I just did it for fun ye I couldn’t solve the last one
u didnt pass OA?
the best thing that i learned from both ap cs classes was probably making battleship and linear search
💀
WE"RE DOING BATTLESHIP RN LOL

why are high school cs classes so garbage though
AP CS:A i assume
yes
like after algebra one everyone has enough knowledge to learn how to code
high school classes are pretty bad in general tho
hopefully after this semester ill have time to code again
and prep for usaco
if im efficient with studying i should have time
ive been stuck on my ml project for the longest time now
already exists
ur github is pretty nice
ngl
ye thx bro
Yo link
very epic
w or L readme
im bad at git
i jsut know everything is resolve if u force push shit
big brain time
force pushing isnt always recommended
git add . git commit -m "dump" git push origin main
That’s insanely cracked, great effort bro
thx bro
that isnt a lot tho
?
o
i have like 3-4 good projects
cli, ciscord bot, portfolio, ml webapp, but nothing super amazing and large scale yet
those were projects i did mostly for fun but ended up turning out well
these kids
thats u?
ik it sounds cocky
bro
listen im gonna try not to be an asshole but that cli better be damn impressive
a cli is not a good project
tui
yeah thats my point
TEXTUAL
its not that impressive
nah he can do whatever
its literally just a personal th ing i made for myself
id enjoy my life
u have ur whole life to slave away at big tech
yeah ik
why does everyone think i have no life
i have lots of friends
i hangout with them
play games

pbjpie knows
I don't think you've watched the hit anime series, Rent a girlfriend though
