i prefered garfield
there are sort of split opinions on this, i have read 4 of the 6 books
and i genuinely believe you have to appreciate the dune universe/books to fully appreciate movie
w/out reading books it's an 8/10 at best
w/books you see it as a 10/10
if you're just watching for the atmosphere/mood it's also worth it, it's 10/10 on that respect
director knows his shit
You're joking but I usually say "Thanks for the update"
yaeh that's also why i like tim chalamet a lot as far as young male actors go, cuz he stars in actually good serious films lol
tom holland got all the talent in the world
but he needs to step up lol
cuz that's part of my complain w/how movies have sucked lately, you just don't have all star actors anymore, feels like we need more legends
they are set up like 3 groups of 2
the full first arc is books 1 + 2
the movie was half of book 1
if you read 1 and think "not that good" just stop there
the tom holland movies were good
but i like andrew garfield more
will probably like to like tom more in his next trilogy
the last spider man movie was so mid
but im always an andrew fan
MIT ain't even all that it's cracked up to be
I heard it's stressful af

9:35 Social life at MIT (or lack thereof)
Who are we kidding? No one actu...
it was, batman beats spiderman nwh
ez
nwh was spoiled months before and only the cameos carried the movie
and the ending
batman movies across the board are usually good lol, they're actually made well
Both were equally great imo
if it didnt have so many leaks then nwh couldve had better hype
but ppl knew andrew and tobey were in the movie months before
battinson's batman is my favorite (sorry christian bale)
genuinely feels like people forget how amazing he was as an actor
he did the spidey movies justice
exactly hes my favorite peter and spidey
Garfield was in the facebook movie too

MY PRADAS ARE AT THE CLEANERS

half my friends and i disagree on this
hard to pick a better one
understandable
the sparkles 
christian bale's batman movies were good
but i liked robert pattinson's bruce wayne more
and his batman
felt accurate
i guess my opinion is w/another batman performance from him then i can decide, too soon rn
it did feel accurate that's true
true, matt reeves better not mess up
im glad they're keeping battinson away from the main timeline
and not building around it
I hope the next batman movie doesn't have joker as the main villain
I think we need a break from joker
Lol
Damn 80k per sem
That's twice what I pay for 4 yrs ๐
Yeah
These schools know kids'll pay top dollar to get that sweet prestige
What do u mean by standardized?
I see
Thanks for the explanation

I'll make one once I receive my official google offer
bruh if pachiti goes to school they better pay HIM
no, i think people with actual rigorous curriculums are right to feel stressed
if you knew the perfect pathway to a top swe job from day 1 you have advantage of spreading out the stress over time maybe
such as leetcoding early
planning classes
the issue is finding out key info as you go, too late
those top tier cs schools have disadvantage of having classes fill up quick too so u can't pick the perfect course load always
that's true, i actually am friends w/some people NOT in cs who did pre med type stuff there like biology
and they were very talented at the high school level
and then MIT absolutely sucked their soul and was non stop grind
it's very believable dude no cap
these were people who could excel before college w/only 70% max effort
then a top tier school means 100% effort for like average results
they are trying to stand out, there is def some blame on them true
i think if all you have is top school + ok projects + leetcode mastery, you will get first class career outcome ez clap
so ur right taht everythign is unecessary
for the record i was shit school + super involved in campus + 4.0 + shit projects
and i felt i genuinely needed all that to carry me
it worked
thanks man, but from everything i said truly the best advice is unfortunately have a gameplan from day 1
STOP
from freshman year have this shit planned out meticulously
when to learn, when to lc, when to intern, etc
DUMB IDIOT FOX
YOURE A FREAKING CAT STOP BULLYING HIM

YOU ARE A 
he is a 
facts, there is a surprising amount of people on server who fit that bill and still worry
they are going into jr year with already f500 intern + 3.0 gpa + top school
and say they got it hard
and tbh no you don't
you got the sauce
what you also got is anxiety
i'm gonna vote trump so your loans don't get forgiven
what are u then
ofc it is, at worst this gets you a f500 new grad job 80k in LCOL / 120k HCOL
at best it's double that
rope mentality
tasteless joke btw
the rope shit
40k per sem
not 80k per sem
same... it doesn't make me happy... but i havent felt truly happy in a while ๐
cuz im on dat grind no cap
And I'll beat them all for that spot at google
thank you for the motivation pbjpie
is netflix in sf
ngl, even at your "plain" f500s and even local shops, many of the older SWEs know a lot!
Become a boogeyman
I was more of a coffee shop and cabin in mountain guy tho
Sundar pichai
Iโll become a doujin in artist
Naaa u lost me there maybe a book if Iโm bored
must
Iโm blasting so much fucking gear after I retire
How's life
Now u ruined it I thought me and you had a vibe going
Yooo! A fellow twitter intern โค๏ธ
It's going chill, how about you?
Same, out of grind mode now that i have a gig for summer haha
I gotta get the twitter emojis you made into this server haha
Those were dope
It's sad what happened to us 
We were such a wholesome bunch
Oh does the red not show for you?
nono it does i just didn't realize lol
Twitter 1.0 was the dream 
last standing heaven on earth
Lol
Nice, where you going this summer?
where else would i have laerned to make coffee with their 20k espresso machine during work
microsoft!
Nice!
i remember you turned them down for meta 
or was it for twitter i forget
so keeping that in mind i went full safety mode this summer lol
i hear some sussy news about microsoft though so either way
yeah
maybe mamazon is the move
Naw
They laying off constantly with pips
Nah, intern
both are p bad rn but if you're an intern id say amzn safer if you want ro
honestly tech in general is p bad rn

avatar the not blue people
Lol
unironically it really do be just apple
tim apple made an insane pr move
no layoffs + takes pay cut while other companies are laying off

Has anyone interviewed with ziprecruiter for ML role?
his compensation is still ~50 mil but he's taking a pay cut of ~40%
down from ~75 mil
elon took like a 180b paycut didnt he
I stand with Rahul Ligma
we stand together proud and strong
does that mean u can cop somalia 5 times instead of twitter
i want to work for @quaint bolt 's dad, sundar pichai
โElon musk buying twitter is dangerous and wasteful. By allowing unrestricted free speech he let right wing disinformation be spread. He also could have used this money to solve world hunger and homelessness. He is wasting our wealth by buying twitter.โ Itโs scary people actually believe this shit. โOurโ wealth na son itโs his โwealthโ welcome to America.
I actually lost a couple of brain cells reading this
bro you could have used your fingers to give the people of this discord a unique thought instead you have told us something we already know
Facts
I apologize
I should stop spreading this stupidity
it's ok now give me ur lunch money
Na
Maybe in middle school Iโm 6 feet and jacked now. U give me your money!
๐ซ
Whats funny is Iโm not gonna delete that and stick to the idiocracy i spews out.
gun
strangely relatable post
i applied to 15 schools besides the one i live next to
i got into a total of 0
aren't u in California
u got a diff situation bro
hmm
what a silly goose fr
not if ur ken griffin
tbh its kinda a reasonable thing to complain about, if you can't even get HRT in high school then how will you ever find a job???
true
bro a vp of jp morgan connected and messaged me on linkedin but i left him on read cause i thought he was a bot
its been a week did i ruin any chances from this
jpmorgan has a lot of vps
but texting back seems like the better of 2 options? i doubt they are the ones hiring
i am 99% sure it does not
I think so
yes
dang
what did they message you lol
Free Robux hack working 2023
anyone who got c1 internship can u pm me i dont know if im getting scammed
i think you get scammed solely by working at c1 tbh
living up to their name damn
every c1 vp i've met is either bald or balding.... let that sink in ......
i worked at jpmc ๐
jamie dimon my beloved
C1 allows remote, JP doesn't. Jamie Dimon is against WFH. ๐
Copium
I disliked my internship at JP but I for sure can say JP is remote friendly
no im pretty sure C1 is moving away from wfh. The interns have to be in office
i loved my internship 
didn't pay me enough for doing nothing though tbh
Maybe for your internship, but now they require in person for all interns/new grads in the US
How so? Code quality was so shit there
no our internships were in person
we could just not show up to the office if we told our managers
and they were chill w it
I know that I don't know shit about production code quality, so I didn't question it lol
I know one guy working at JP currently doing a placement year. He is coming like on average 1 time to the office every 2 weeks
And the mfs there are like networking is important, networking is important, all of this to be promoted to sde3 equivalent (aka. VP) after 8 years with a salary lower than G ng
So is it true that HFT tends to allow internships for new-grads?
Like the summer after grad
yeah the pay sucks
i think networking is fun
My point is that if networking was important, they would not work at JP

fair
though I wouldn't mind at all going back to jpmc. the money is good enough for me to be happy
But JP looks nice on the resume, I agree 
- layoffs rn are scary
which location were u in?
oi bruv????!!!!
?
JP Morgan intern pay is better than Google though right 
sorry i'm just passionate about england
no lol
what's on levels is only in palo alto i think
Not in EU
texas pays 45, new york pays i think 50+? But no housing
coffee maker at the office though :)
My jp manager's headset:
i stole my jabra headset from work 
I took 2 of them 
Good ones I ordered internally
im telling jamie
Were you in TX?
yes
@ripe dawn whatโs the vesting schedule at hrt for software engineers?
I thought vesting was for stocks
Iโm talking about their bonus
Oh
Anything i should know? Im incoming to OH
Average Ohio intern
sorry to hear that ๐
on a more serious note, columbus is their biggest office. the internship itself is also pretty social and low stress. So i think it will be a good time
though jpmc is more suited for people who want to take it easy instead of learning a lot of new stuff
Anyone interview with DRW for devops intern role?
Anyone interview with Albertsons?
I'm on the final stage of the ceo intern
๐

How much are they offering

is meta referral considered an application?
anyone do GeoComply OA?
wait what's google intern pay this summer?
no u get banned from all of faang
i doubt googles paying more than 50 at all
i hate that levels just verifies them too
i wish they would just keep the housing in the captions and leave the hourly rate as is
fax
its like how amazon says 69 but they are closer to like 57
52
netflix got to ur head smh
mfs really causing intern salary inflation
netflix is legit like 60+
yea
they crazy with it
but its worth it, Netflix is my favorite faang
damn,,, 60/hr+ is OP
condo corporate sounds fucking amazing
isnt that what roblox pays
wecu stop hacking
yeha that'd be chill fr
zamn everyone be popping off and meanwhile im just at walmart
i need intern friends
i got my work cut out for me if i wanna breach faang sheesh
Walmart is insanely good thoo
i thought walmart was rescinding?
I'm a D1 grinder no cap
no its great but sometimes it feels so bad when i see everyone talking about like 60+hr salaries and shit
Netflix is like SSS tier
cuz i fucked up my faang interiviews this year or got rejected on headcount
arent you soph?
when?
they arent rescinding anyone i know of rn
yesh
pretty sure thats a meme cuz someone namedropped the walmart discord server in the company networking meeting
no lol I dont know for sure, i just saw 2 people get rescinded in #2023_summer_intern_process
yea
yea i just gotta put in the work now
my technical is weak so i know what to work on
walmart at soph is very good
and im still in intro to cs so i got time
junior year you will annihilate
don't sweat it. i didnt even get an OA from Amazon
true but i feel so bad
damnnn
honestly
all of faang is rng
next year tho, imma be a demon ๐
yessir
no u deserve it
no cap ๐
damn... ik how u feel fr
we the Midwesterners who made it out :o
it's abt DRIVW
wait Walmart has a ton of berkeley and Northwestern kids
i think ivy ppl aren't inherently more driven, just there's a higher concentration for obv rzns
ivy's are what u make of it
W
only the people who actually grind it out make it to quants and shit
u cant just expect prestige to compensate for hard work
at the end of the day the cs space really is closer to a meritocracy because u do need to pass the technicals and shit to move on
doesnt compensate, but 100% helps lol
oh yea for sure more doors open
but u still need to be competent enough
some people on reddit
be at MIT
and cant do twosum
crying about why they didnt get meta
like bro
massive W
the funniest shit was the hr department leaking all the interns emails
cuz half of them are personal
im honestly surprised amazon asked twosum
I've heard of them asking LC Hard's before
the thing is, i actually never learned optimal twosum cuz i never thought id need it for an interview until then
so i had to blindrun twosum but i havent taken DSA so hashmaps were confusing at the time
Ahh yeah no for sure I get it, I only did twosum for the first time this month
i managed to get a two pointers solution for it which worked but still took way too long on it
anybody done a tesla autopilot phone screen
I haven't taken it either, just self-studying LC it's so threatening though to be at such a disadvantage and getting these opportunities
nah Palantir and Yext were the scariest
Palantir only asked graphs
Yext was just torture tho, i literally spent 30 min to only get 1/3 debugging right
jesus
and then the 30 min left was for a DFS question
Are graphs normally LC Hard's?
Okay i've never done a LC hard before
Jesus
1 medium 2 hard is palantirs technical
but u can rng an easy or 2 mediums ive heard
What is karat
I see it looks like some platform?
You sound pretty cracked for a first year premed ngl
To get all those interviews
im not
i just got hella lucky
idk how
cuz my resume wasnt even good i just have fidelity and some projects
i think its a timing thing
i applied to most companies like within the first day of opening
Hmm I see, okay maybe timing is huge
and since behaviourals are easy enough to pass, the technicals weeded me out all year long lol
oh for sure, i got rejected from square with a referral cuz i applied like 3 weeks into the cycle
and they filled up
Holy
some spots
Yeah I applied to like 10 companies in late november and 90 more in Dec/Jan
I didn't think my resume was terrible so I'll def apply earlier next cycle
yessir
good luck
i decided to skip fall semester apps
i wanna just work on leetcoding and being able to pass summer technicals instead
especially since i have 3 internships now so no need to whore myself out for fall semester

๐ im not cracked
im just doing ok
but i will be cracked next year, just u wait
paying attention โ๏ธ
i wonder if karat looks at ur other company interviews
when they see ur karat app for swe
that would be funny
and scary
are they tho?
i find them confusing if u dont know the concepts and shit well
actually maybe i just need to take DSA to be good at them
@hearty river :catnum:
Yeah graphs are the best
maybe ill just work on getting good at graphs
and then branch out to other DSA implementations from there
hope that vp from jpmc wants to give me a referral like he added me on linkedin and messaged me
so im guessing its not just to add me to his network
Mista charlie
How are you?
dang for this 1 question only half my test cases passed
cause time limit exceeded
the others i think i answered all correctly
j do more I think ^_^
U will find easier
ye

they do me right and i dont get a fade
What do u get
does anyone else do some cs work
and then realize you actually get paid for that shit
like i worked on cs this week and im gonna get like 200+ dollars ???
this shit is a money printer ๐
my friend took me there once
in nyc its 30%pr 70%dominican
i went to non great clips because my mother forced me to get my haircut and this pretty mexicn lady did good i think so i also second mexican barbers
my friends also swear by a guy named carlos at the same place
he changed like 4 people lives
i ddi this until i realized that my profile looks cringe if i have lots of easies solved
what part of US r u @ where you get mexican barbers
whos oski
suburban illinois
northern chicago suburbs
there's a cs majors server?
gotchu
ya but if u can do mediums why cant u do easies
imma switch to an anime pfp soon no cap
you can you're cracked
one of my classes uses discord
not cracked yet
default logo is 300k tc ong
its because u are a turbo capper so like we have to cap aswell so nobody knows what you are truly capable of or are
i know u are a martian but no one else does
yk
keep it down yo
Mfs switching to the dark side
the dark side promises 400k tc new grad 
ive never watched the boys
๐๐๐
sometimes i wonder what i want money for besides a house down the line but also i just like money
like just having money is so sick
oh actually i remember
its so i can have an insane stimulant cabinet
i want money to be financially free so i can live a fulfilling life
jsut do it

That's basically my age
im joining the cs majors discord

i have to shovel it all and drive to madison tmr at like 8
wym by that
IM IN LOVE WITH THE SHAPE OF YOU
probably the best pfp ive ever seen.... jesus
why are there so many anime girls holding C++ books on google images
what conspiracy theory is going on
there's a github repo for it
lol
Man, being comfortable with rejection and being ignored must be some kind of superpower
๐
I don't mean for jobs
I mean for talking to other people
Though I guess it's true for jobs too
because c++ is fucking shit just like most of these girls
based

I've somewhat gotten over it with companies, but it feels worse when it comes to people
triple? whats the third? zon, ntflix
worst contest of all time
literally p2 example was wrong
lol
first one was ez
second one was incorrect
3rd and 4th were stats
nah its def wrong people were complaining in the comment
im active at r/
not here
r/csmajors
that dsicord
yea no example 2 was 100% wron
my contest rating is about to plumet
ye
wiat bruh
ur int he other server
the reddit is v cringe
"Guys should I pick between Jane Street or Joe's IT shack swe"
idk why everyone says these circles are like top x% of csmajors
its literally bottom 10%
nah i like the csm discord its good
"guys I submitted 10 applications and haven't heard back should I just give up"
a lil toxic but good
"Fuck my life I only got google meta amazon netflix microsoft apple offers but I didn't get any quant I am inferior to everyone here kill my self"
the amazon self hatred posts are funny
reddit ppl just cringe in general
ive been wondering this for a while but
its a mystery how people that neurotic dont self-destruct before they start
@hearty river hiiiiii
"Hey guys I got HRT after only 5 faang internships and going to top 5 CS, so for all of you guys struggling to get one this semester, I just want you to know you can make it"
big omegalul
quant has become the new faang inthat sub
but the size of this discord is sm larger
how is that possible
is it really larger than csmajors
i dont even remember how i ended up finding cscd or this discord
levels.fyi
god willed it i think
frying pan put me on
even though 99.9% of everyone on that subreddit would be perfectly happy making 150k a year
what is frying pan
i dont know how i ended up here im out of place but its interesting to see people get these stupidly competitive offers like its nothing
you need credentials to get big funding tho ๐ฅบ
lOL
that's why we grind -> exit to YC
@honest spire
genuinely it is not hard to break into big tech if u went to college do personal projects and leetcode for 3 months
do u know what quant does
i dont
sounds cool though
thats all that matters
^_^
money printer
thst is quant
I also think it's most of these people wanting validation and being called smart
but because they only read r/csmajors instead of talking to people irl they only want validation from redditors
idk if ur being serious but i dont think its that simple
well
most people want trading internships for the money
like straight up its for hte mooney
but there are other reasons to pursue it
the upl standard
you could argue that a trading internship or swe at one of those shops opens more doors than google ? (maybe?) but at that point its like what door are u opening lol
idk
"Oh citadel, is that a large bank company?"
i would like an swe internship at cit bc i would be mad at myself if i didnt try bc what if i got it and really like it, if i dont, its an internship yk
is citadel more competitive than hft and js?
idk man
lol
Citadel only got 30k on ig no clout ๐น
why amz lol
ong ๐ who ken griffin think he is
disagree
tey got 15k why u capping legoat
frmo the limited info i know
lebron not even that good
big tech is nothing like those places
only feeder ive heard of is maybe bb?
but like bruh
company feeder
so cringe
oh my b i tagged them on ig once i just knew it was low
i mean it makes sense right
semi finance related ?
true
well
depends
idk im def biased here but bb == big tech and if i were a hm i would hire from someone in the relevant field, im mostly taking about swe roles at these places tho not quant
so idk
netflix please let go of this candidate immediately, he committed multiple warcrimes in iraq and is a threat to national safety
I'd like to work at top companies just to put as many red flags as possible on resume and see if i get call backs
gaming degree full sail university
all that jazz
to be compltely real they are probably the same and like it doesnt matter which one u work at
like
howd it go
๐
thats actually so fucking funny though
they didnt realize that
they're disorganized af
It's happened to multiple people
I went through the entire pipeline

lmfao
thats amazing
wait did u mix up and apply to the wrong role, or did they mix up
I fucked up
thats so funny
The internship offer? Yeah
this one not free for me either bro
when lc makes an answer to a contest wrong 
ye
so mad
FT phone 1 -> internship phone 1 -> internship phone 2 -> internship phone 3 -> internship final 1 -> internship final 2
That q fucked me up lol
like u have a whole week to make sure ur problems are correct and ur example is wrong ๐
That's what happened
i sat there questioning 2^4 = 16 ??
All that in under a week cuz I told them to expedite
did u end up getting it or na
Nah
I got stuck on the n=55 test case for like 30 mins
@sinful locust do yk the Netflix RO rate
i lurked 4ever
200 apps, 100 ghost, 56 resume rej, 15 oa,3 interview, 1 offer
Thatโs when youโre mentally insane and not cracked
At least weโre cracked here

what were 2 offers?
Havenโt been on r/csMajors for a while
yo
prolly a good thing

Iโd post mine but itโd get shot down as soon as I mention my school 
...
i though we banned loo from this server
relatively no name school...
@ sentientskillet
have them play hangman to guess the school
mfw hard work donโt count depending on school 
wagons had like 5 offers by june
any A's?
_ A _ _ _ _ _ _
it was but I prolly got lucky bc I was early
same ๐ฑ

I saw your li post

close enough right
however much Andrew Tate is charging for hustlerโs university + 1 dollar
I went to waterloo campus and saw a 6'7 bangladeshi i knew who it was
Eat cheese -> spend all day on toilet watching Netflix -> Netflix swe offer
print 2^n -2
nah bro thats wrong lol
i originally thought the same thing
@sinful locust looking in the mirror? 

it passes the cases yes
but
consider even num of nodes where pairs swap monkeys

adjacent pairs*
but also
if u pair up 2 nodes, they can just swap
nope
why do u think so >
ok u can draw that
thats an additional 2 u need to remove
so total possible are 2^n, so 2^4 = 16, - 2 for left and right, -2 for those

look at the comments my man
ok so u agree the total number of different moves is 2^n right
yes ?
yes
so if they all go counter clockwise, thats no collisions
yes
yes
cool
on top of that
if every monkey pairs up with an adjacent monkey, they can also swap (given there are an even number of nodes).
yes
There will be collide
look at how they define collide
very very very annoying
i mean i did end up submitting a 2^n - 2 ans
then it failed on 55 and i was like ??? bc of the mod stuff right
then i started thinking about the problem more and i was like ???????????? tf u mean
side tracked me from the whole contest
Did u end up AC that
Nah I will be fucked yoday
Today
My current rating is 1k9
And they will be fucked
After thid
no thats in the lc rules
what is ac?
i didnt get it
but what im syaing is wayyy more thatn 10% of the submission results will change after the rejudge
so itll definnitely get unmarked
yea
that make more than 10% ?
2^4 = 16, 16-2 for cycle, -2 for the others. actual is 12
that one of the basic cases
every person that did 2^n - 2 will get that one wrong
ok
wait it was incorrect???
