[safe minnow]

[reef basin]

Guys idk where im going wrong 110 applications and only 1 interview for a marketing internship that i accidentally applied to

[coarse marten]

Current times are rough

It's not only you

[safe minnow]

You chose the wrong year to go to college

[coarse marten]

Look at #1019675142248468601

[safe minnow]

But on a more serious note yeah market's super tough

Lots of people downleveling

[reef basin]

Holy

[crisp berry]

what happened here

Simplify drama?

unlucky

[coarse marten]

Since people with G and 🍌 are resume rejected

[safe minnow]

Not really

This is a big L

To me

[reef basin]

I’m a sophomore rn so hopefully market bounces back

[safe minnow]

Yeah if you were a junior you'd be kinda screwed

Or senior

But as a soph you are bing chilling

[coarse marten]

Chill?

No chill

Just grind

[safe minnow]

😔

[safe minnow]

It's good

[spark valley]

col?

[safe minnow]

Well in this server you'd be more likely to get an answer of no

But it's good generally

[proven gate]

I’m going to take it I’m just wondering how it looks on resume and will help me in future

[safe minnow]

I could be wrong, but I've always thought that all companies that were below big N are held equally on resume

Namewise

[proven gate]

Is data science a good field to get into

Honestly didn’t even plan to do a DS internship and I’m taking my first stat course this semester

thought I’d do SWE but my only offer for that was part time

[wary harbor]

How easier is it to get second internship after first?

[near swallow]

Would u rather hire somebody from the goldman sachs or from white castle

As a swe

Bad example i guess but u get the idea

[wary harbor]

Yea if it’s da only take it

[safe minnow]

White castle so I can get them to make me burgers for lunch every day

[wary harbor]

Well that’s a lot better

Should a school swe project but your working on another company’s business be used as experience on the resume or just project?

[safe minnow]

It's also school dependent

[wary harbor]

That is true

[safe minnow]

Usually better schools make the first internship easier to get

[wary harbor]

Is ur school high up

[safe minnow]

NYU is t30, pretty great

[wary harbor]

Bro I thought I got zon

Oh damnnn

Nvm I still gotta try 😭

Dmann sucks

[safe minnow]

Yeah don't give up

[wary harbor]

🤞🏻

[safe minnow]

You only lose when you give up

A lot of my school specific ones pay less than that

[wary harbor]

I got my first this year but pay is mid minus

[safe minnow]

This one?

[earnest hatch]

That sucks, I wanted to be lazy

[wary harbor]

Yea I put 3k on stocks n I’m down Al the way but Might need to put 1k more for growth 😼😼

[safe minnow]

Grinding for quant has been a lot more exhausting than the initial big tech grind

😔

[wary harbor]

Tuff in first I trust

Dat rhymed

[safe minnow]

Something along the lines of that yeah

Work 5

Downlevel all of them

Get paid 1.2 million a year

Wait

Big T

[muted summit]

[wary harbor]

[wary harbor]

[wary harbor]

[quaint bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/fox-gif-25805627

[wary harbor]

Just wanted to verify my solutions 😼

[sinful locust]

oh you commute? didnt know i c i c

[muted summit]

[wary harbor]

Yea I’m doing that rn

How’s ur search going @muted summit

[muted summit]

[wary harbor]

Weren’t u gonna reneg?

[muted summit]

[wary harbor]

😳 u got it bro!

[muted summit]

thanks

there are too many ppl in team matching this time around

nah AC, she got laid off

[wary harbor]

Yo any tips on pattern recognition or like templates

[muted summit]

just lc more

and re do the questions

and make sure you fr understand it

what i did when prepping for interviews

was talking out loud to myself as if im teaching someone who doesnt know how to do it

[wary harbor]

Hm yea I struggle with reading the questions correctly

[obtuse timber]

yeah i like talking out loud like an interview

[wary harbor]

Sun r just worded weirdly

[wary harbor]

I c this working ngl

[muted summit]

take your time reading the question for sure

[quaint bolt]

ACA was goated sadge

She always replied in minutes to me

[muted summit]

AC with that consistent response time fr

[wary harbor]

Like through each step?

[muted summit]

not only feels bad for all the ppl in team matching rn but also the recruiters who we lost

[quaint bolt]

I remember when I pushed from summer to winter I emailed her from the cafe, walked to my desk and saw she replied

[obtuse timber]

yeah, explain why you do everything

[muted summit]

i somehow got the offer after the waitlisted started

got lucky as shit

fr the stars aligned

[quaint bolt]

Just get offer before waitlist lol 🧠

[obtuse timber]

it helps you to actually understand the problem instead of just writing solutions from your memory. and its good interview prep too

[wise island]

y r some of the grokking solutions kinda ass

[muted summit]

yeah

[wary harbor]

Bros Resume OP 😭

[muted summit]

i felt super bad bc i interviewed after some ppl too

YO...

[wise island]

sry, what is ya

[muted summit]

if you get a bit or DP question, ask for another

💯

[wise island]

💀

[wary harbor]

Is grokking good?

[safe minnow]

Should have handed over the phone to me

[wise island]

grokking the coding interview kinda meh so far

[safe minnow]

I would have roasted the shit out of northwestern for you

[muted summit]

hopefully for next season

[safe minnow]

Made you the most memorable candidate

[wary harbor]

Dm me

Yuh

[safe minnow]

[sinful locust]

so like imagine you're gonna do leetcode, and you start your first first DP problem, and you can only think of the slowest recursion possible after 15 mins. Then what?

[muted summit]

back to LC in the summer

[safe minnow]

Internship grind kinda fun ngl

I like it

[wise island]

look @ solution, understand it, come back to it

[safe minnow]

There’s a unique feeling to when you get a new email

[wary harbor]

How so what’s better in ur opinion

[wise island]

i think neetcode is better tbh

[safe minnow]

It could be either a rejection or the next steps to a company, basically like gambling but good for you

Go sleep

[wise island]

💀

[sinful locust]

no

[safe minnow]

Support your local Mexican restaurants

[sinful locust]

øh you're saying queso is ass

[sinful locust]

[muted summit]

chipotle is so good

i can eat it a lot and not get tired

[sinful locust]

omad chipotle

[muted summit]

[sinful locust]

burrito no rice

[muted summit]

lettuce sometimes

[safe minnow]

The only thing worth remembering is the red sauce

[muted summit]

[safe minnow]

😈

[muted summit]

[hardy patrol]

doing the february challenge where i try my hardest to make it through february

[sinful locust]

[safe minnow]

How many times per week

Id get chipotle more often if my schools local chipotle didn’t give such ass proportions

[gentle latch]

Same

My goalnis 3k per day

Peanut butter and rice are quite effective

[safe minnow]

Holy shit

Oh wait

Your chipotle order is different than mine

[gentle latch]

Chipotle is decent for calories
Mod pizza is great
I design my pizza so it has 2200 calories

[safe minnow]

dominos?

[gentle latch]

MOD

I can down an entire MOD 12inch crust in like 30 mins

[sinful locust]

light work

[gentle latch]

2200 cals right there

[safe minnow]

Oh that's an actual name

I thought you meant modify pizza

[gentle latch]

My goal is 3000 cals per day so the 2200 cal pizza still isn't enough lol

[sinful locust]

moderator pizza :/

[safe minnow]

“There was a time when CS was a magical ticket to a high paying job in the tech industry but those days are over and today it's harder than ever to get a job. Also the pay for Software Engineers have been steadily falling for the past decade. First it was just entry level positions but now even mid level positions are falling.”

[near swallow]

[gentle latch]

I saw a facebook engineer making 700k today

Well like
700k per year

[wise island]

[gentle latch]

[gentle latch]

[wise island]

😭

does python deque() allow duplicates?

someones comment got me confused

[candid trellis]

I noticed I get like 5 rejections in one day before an interview request

[safe minnow]

Got confused with sets/maps

[wise island]

nah i know sets/maps dont allow dups

[gentle latch]

What exercise?

[somber solstice]

[proud crag]

/u/ is actually [uw]

[restive lake]

i got a coding - systems interview coming up

any guesses on what the heck it is?

i don't see how it would be possible to code something with concurrency in 45 minutes though

like im imagining it would be a whiteboard type of thing rather than actual code

[stable spire]

nuro systems interview is OS concepts theyll ask u qs and shit

if its the coding interview itl basicallty be speed coding a LC medium

[wise island]

this looks rough, best of luck

[restive lake]

ohh ok that makes a lot more sense thx

[stable spire]

if u know OS then itl be easy according to my friend if u dont know it ask to switch to coding

coding for me and him lc meds

[restive lake]

i got an lc hard first round but it's one of the easier ones

didn't even finish my code cuz i couldn't code a fucking heap in python after switching from java

still continued anyways ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stable spire]

wtf lol no heapq?

[restive lake]

my interviewer had to tell me that heapq exists

[stable spire]

bruh

[restive lake]

i'm fuckin vibin out here

[stable spire]

i had like a pq/sorting q for onsite last yr and decided to do a BFS approach and the guy never gave me any hints that it was graph related and just let me code it up and railed me with test cases at the end into reject

[restive lake]

👑 ty

[restive lake]

that's rough i hate interviewers who just do that

[thorn quartz]

i submit an fbi ticket if this occurs

[past comet]

is this palantir ?

[restive lake]

nuro

[wide socket]

When a company says

They will give you a coding test what does that mean

get you scheduled for a 45 minute zoom chat with 2 members of our software engineer team. This interview will consist of a coding test (with the language of your choice) along with a technical review of your resume.

[hallow scroll]

someone here said they got asked to code a text editor or something

so ig more real world type of situations

[devout jewel]

which role ?

[restive lake]

hmm interesting

[restive lake]

fleet infra

[devout jewel]

yo I’m doing fleet infra too

I’m just gonna yolo it

I got asked for phone but also got rejected?

[restive lake]

i did my first one but still scheduling second one

[hushed charm]

Is nuro oa auto?

[devout jewel]

[hushed charm]

Ah i was wondering if i missed something

[weary totem]

[coarse marten]

Mr Joe the cat

[safe minnow]

I hate how a lot of the cses solutions are highly unreadable competitive programming style

[tawny dust]

[tawny dust]

[devout jewel]

Yes varies with team

Special project is dope from what I hear

Future projects 🤩🤩

[lavish shuttle]

Anyone know a good resource where I can find internships that are strictly remote? Borders are closed in my country so I can't leave for in-person/hybrid 😐

[devout jewel]

[lime stream]

Yes I did; they dive REALLY deep into “Why Palantir?” And “Why FDSE over SWE?”

[coarse marten]

Mr chimi, how is the grind going?

[lime stream]

And just questions about your resume

I’m guessing you got referred

[knotty plover]

thanks, “Why FDSE over SWE?” what can we answer here because I really dont know what exactly is FDSE

[knotty plover]

actually no, I applied through their website

[lime stream]

I’d do more research; I don’t know what FDSE does as well hahaha

[knotty plover]

[sour bison]

[safe minnow]

They aren’t mutually exclusive

I know I heard from others though they don't allow this year, but recruiter would've been safer to ask

[safe minnow]

When are you actually graduatin

Oh nice same

[hallow scroll]

2025 gang

[safe minnow]

Do they have good culture

Databricks?

Oh

Don’t you need to talk to another person to do that

That knows how to draw

Or graphics design

And then get rich

Do you play Roblox rn?

Ah

[wise island]

[proper wind]

Can anyone here tell what questions should I prepare for my initial and final round interviews for Deutsche summer analyst program?

[safe minnow]

[safe minnow]

[hallow scroll]

Microsoft rejected me in 10 seconds even though I got final last year

[sinful locust]

[safe minnow]

I thought you meant talking to people

[hallow scroll]

My network exams were trivia too for the most part

[royal pagoda]

fuck netflix

mfs are ruining their company by the day

💀

pls fix

their password sharing shit they were talking about is stupid

[safe minnow]

Maybe some of them are truly passionate about x

[royal pagoda]

like if i pay then i should be able to share my account

this is why

hbo > netflix

[safe minnow]

Like if you truly believe in Elon's vision of space I'd imagine you would feel a lot better about working long hours there

Twitter is more interesting than tesla

algoexpert vs neetcode

vote pls

[gentle latch]

They're basically the same, but neetcode is free

[wise island]

thought so

[earnest hatch]

AlgoExpert, because he's an Ex-Googler. Neetcode still works at Google, he hasn't graduated to Ex yet.

[hardy patrol]

ill check mutual friends w some of you and ill see names that are either completely unreadable or deleted

dont recognize any of the old crew anymore

[safe minnow]

They’re deleted but still active

Legit over half the people who left are still here just under different accounts or names

[earnest hatch]

Some of them got cancelled

[wise island]

ima just stick w neetcode

[static spindle]

[wise island]

thick crust worse

[safe minnow]

Eat enough until it doesn't

[somber solstice]

tbh ive never actually had deep dish

ive only had regular and thin

and from what im getting

thin is better

[safe minnow]

Yk how some people don't like crust

The buttery crust of a deep dish is absolutely divine

How long does it take

[somber solstice]

is deep dish like a lotta crush

or is it filled with cheese and toppings

[safe minnow]

lou malnatis is 3x better than Giordano's imo

[safe minnow]

crush?

[somber solstice]

crust

it's like lasanaga??

[safe minnow]

Yeah

[somber solstice]

interesting

sounds very unhealthy

i want some asap

Pretty far away tbh

It's like 30 bucks for a full pizza

But 2 pieces is an entire meal

Out of 8

Pull up with 3 of your homies and it's affordable

Yes if you never ask me again

Which campus

Oh

I wonder if any of us will live in chicago doing quant

I'd give it a 60% chance across all current regulars

Yeah

When interviewers set date for interview shit starts feeling real!

Is it jst me

Like the shivers down my spine type thing

[gentle latch]

I just want marinara sauce and cheeze sticks rn

[safe minnow]

I view it as a necessary process to become less cringe

You’re a changed man now

You won’t make the same cringe now

[wispy perch]

they cancelled my interview 🥲

[thorn quartz]

My character development arc was as follows: afraid to ask question incase stupid -> asked stupid question(CRINGED) -> no longer care and will continue to ask stupid questions

^_^

Inspired by my father tbh still tryna get like him

if ur spending thousands on an education tbh u shouldn’t feel bad for asking anything no matter how stupid

[wispy perch]

yup

[north scroll]

Don’t u have a two sigma offer

ill trust in the force

someting gotta get back to me

This is Master Obi Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that every single company imaginable is full. Amazon? full Mcdonalds? full Meta? full mom and pop store down the street? full Jedi Order? full. Our entire existence as 24/7 SWE intern grinders has fallen with a dark shadow of automated job app bots and CS majors that give Waterloo students a run for their money rising to take our place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving SWE Interns. Trust in absolutely no company (they're all full). Do not return to the CS Careers…that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always.

[sacred plinth]

Totally insane🥲

[ashen matrix]

where do you guys mainly apply for internships

is it just linkedin? i'm not really looking for big tech, mainly DS roles

[still peak]

here is a list I made when I was looking for an internship last year

Summer Internship Alternatives

♠Software engineer virtual Internship JPMC Program
♠Google Summer of Code (paid)
♠Optiver TraderHack
♠Facebook Hackathon
♠Code for good Jpmc hackathon
♠Google hackathons
♠GS ENGage 2021
♠Hackmit
♠TreeHack
♠MLH (paid)
♠pinterest engage scholars

[wise island]

MLH is good can confirm

[still peak]

I ended up not needing any of them but I thought it might be useful for someone struggling to get an internship

[safe minnow]

The futureforce final round for sophs is so cool

They have you build your own website as part of it

I'd love to have to build my own website to pass an interview

[narrow blade]

Does bloomberg ever call to reject?

[safe minnow]

No

Well not that I’ve known

[narrow blade]

[flat rune]

i got one of their fast track interview certificates, could i dm you ?

[wise island]

go for it!

[flat rune]

ah awesome thank U =) was there anything about the mlh fellowship that you really liked ? it seems like a great opportunity but i'm just trying to weigh it against it being remote and also it being a fellowship instead of an internship (but seems mostly substitutable?)

also, do you have any thoughts on SRE in general ? is it as technical/dev-like as swe ?

ah okay then i'll follow that advice

do you have any advice for the application itself ? i've heard a ton of misc stuff like keep all your public repos maintained and have a code sample that's decently complex to break down, would you suggest anything else ?

[granite fulcrum]

Did anyone hear back from Spotify

[thorn quartz]

holyfk

[devout jewel]

CRACKED

Gib me google nyc

[gentle latch]

[safe minnow]

Uh

[hallow scroll]

He’s not at Netflix anymore

[safe minnow]

Did you know you can eat more if you vary your diet

It's not copium

Depends on the person

💀

Some people want to eat more to gain weight cuz they're underweight

[gentle latch]

Like me lol

I downed 3k calories yesterday

Nice

[safe minnow]

Idk why but adding the red sauce at chipotle makes the entire bowl 2x harder to down

Yeah, maybe it's cuz you drink more or something

Not sure

[gentle latch]

🙀

[safe minnow]

Yeah, you don’t?

I drink my leftover ketchup when I’m done with fries

id rather use vim than jupyter notebook

[static spindle]

🥸

[safe minnow]

Bruh is that the only thing you did

ML projects

And nothing adjacent to it

[north portal]

i only know about jupyter for tensorflow shit

[coarse marten]

Definitely, much nicer than using a debugger

[north portal]

its great for like training ur models and all according to my friend

[safe minnow]

I am heavy on that field too but I build other pipelines

Do you lurk here every once in a while

💀

Can you do these things on top of your normal internship

[thorn quartz]

anything that has google in it

[safe minnow]

In a good way or bad way

[somber solstice]

bobo popped off

[safe minnow]

What tech firm do you want to go to

[gentle latch]

How so?

What do you mean by "techy" culture?

Oh I see

[hardy patrol]

me when i come across Product of Array Except Self for the 18th time yet still struggle to conceptualize the solution

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-gif-22672301

[gentle latch]

But what are the social norms and expectations of someone from big tech?

[hardy patrol]

im glad i forgot it lets me drill this shit into my skull for the nth time through brute force

[gentle latch]

I see
A lot of the engineers I worked with at facebook were gamers and pretty geeky lol

My manager would often wear an among us tshirt to work

Ok I see

[safe minnow]

People in quant act like finance bros?

[muted summit]

@inner kernel what big tech would you say you'd want you work at?

[safe minnow]

Oh

[muted summit]

i wanna try to get into msft

after this summer i hope i hear back from them for ng 😔

thats understandable

is zon the place for NG then?

learn a lot and get pushed to do a ton of work

[safe minnow]

I want to retire at LinkedIn

[gentle latch]

Like u said, it's a retirement hone

[muted summit]

fb culture looks fun with team lunches and company events etc

[gentle latch]

Yeah I lived that shit
It was so awesome

[muted summit]

but im talking about a few years ago, idk how it is recently

oh still kinda like that? thats awesome

i definitely want to learn a lot and meet a ton of talented people in my early career

[gentle latch]

It's still like that, at least last summer
We played games like smash bros every thursday

[muted summit]

we'll see how the stars align down the road

[gentle latch]

Quant sugar mommy

[safe minnow]

[tawny dust]

Well, google chan sidelined me again. Guess ios developers arent her type!

[gentle latch]

[summer vector]

Simplify!

[tawny dust]

na fo real is ios vs android is a thing? Is google naturally biased?

what u mean i bet she got back

[safe minnow]

someone deployed google chrome onto iphones

[tawny dust]

i know but still there is a rivalry with android tryna push its thing

Swift is not one of our primary coding languages, meaning it is not a language that we interview in. Google's core languages include Java, C/C++, C#, Objective C, Python, JavaScript, and Go

^see

they not tryna push up to date ios frameworks

[stable badger]

Is Citadel OA automatic

[tawny dust]

next line best be he was roasting u

continue im curious

i got no filter 😂 let me get back to leetcode

[north scroll]

Bruh. Where else do you have offers then

[thorn quartz]

[raw oriole]

Hi, was the OA hard ? I just got one for an internship

[wise island]

well it was dp questions and backtracking

[raw oriole]

ouf, gotta do some dp than before doing it xD

were they well known dp or some variants if I may ask ?

idk, I am in canada so maybe it's different in here

[white lintel]

drw mtl? My friend said it was just easy/meds and got interview

they’re talking about drw Montreal which opened just a bit ago

[raw oriole]

yeah the montreal one exactly

its for data science internship, not swe though

[tulip aspen]

thanks bro

[safe minnow]

[rich atlas]

does anybody know how hard the two sigma first year SWE OA is

[safe minnow]

Would you have picked meta if you got it

Yeah

Fair

[deep valley]

You guys Im so lost, Idk how you guys are getting companies to respond to you

Applied to 380 places, only got 3 ints, 1 ghosted 1 cancelled due to headcount and last I did a bad job in the int

I have 3 previous internships, Idk why this season is near impossible for me

[safe minnow]

You had to apply early this season

[deep valley]

Man I started in July

[safe minnow]

Uhh

[deep valley]

I've done literally everything that everyone said I should do

And here I am

[safe minnow]

Were any of them big N or do you go to a top college

[granite fulcrum]

sorry buddy 😦

that really sucks

[safe minnow]

This season really sucks I agree

[deep valley]

One of them was big N, similar to a dinosaur like Cisco, SAP etc.

One of them was an automobile manufacturer, the other was a medium sized healthcare company

[gentle latch]

why don't you just say the company lol

[deep valley]

I go to a top school that lots of people from this server also go to, if I say the companies it won't be hard to tell who I am

[wise island]

microsawft

[gentle latch]

microsawft

[earnest hatch]

That's how it is for many of us, there's just a lot of talented people here which make it look easy

[safe minnow]

Oh wow you got ultra fucked then

Again, actives here have 0 life so we're not representative of the majority at all

[deep valley]

I applied early, I have good projects, I have good internships, I don't know what I'm missing

The only "bad" thing I guess is that I'm international

[granite fulcrum]

I found this trick

[safe minnow]

The only companies that I got into are cuz my school feeds into them

[granite fulcrum]

once I put lgbtq+ alliance under organizations I heard back a lot more

[safe minnow]

Did that actually get you any offers you wouldn't have gotten

[granite fulcrum]

Idk abt offers

ik it helped get an interview for datadog at least

[deep valley]

Right now I'm just applying to local companies and hopping to scrap something but since they need to sponsor me I don't think its happening

It just seems like it won't get any better

[safe minnow]

What year are you?

[pulsar kiln]

yeah :(

[deep valley]

I'm in my third year

I think I might delay my graduation and hope to get something in the s24 season but I don't know how much that will help

[gentle latch]

[pulsar kiln]

i think it would help fs since full time is def more difficult to get right

u got this bro

[gentle latch]

nice pfp lol

[pulsar kiln]

thanks xddd

[deep valley]

Thanks man, I was hopping for there to be some companies that post during January but there was barely anything

[gentle latch]

have you applied to facebook, discord, and spotify?

those are the ones that opened recently

[deep valley]

I applied to facebook and spotify, didn't apply to discord

I won't lie I subconsciously gave up around mid january

[granite fulcrum]

Don’t be weird bro

[pulsar kiln]

hi walter

[sinful locust]

hi

[gentle latch]

I don't know if facebook will be the same way this year, but last year their leetcode tagged problems were very accurate to what was actually asked in their actual interviews
If you just grinded their top 150 most frequent problems, it was pretty likely you'd get a problem from there in the actual interview
I recommend grinding those tagged problems this time too

[gentle latch]

[deep valley]

Yea, that's if I even get an interview

[granite fulcrum]

my company’s shitty vm is constantly broken

[pulsar kiln]

i stalked ur location on find my friends

ur like 20 minutes away from my house

i wish i was in redmond rn

when we go back for spring break ur gonna hang out with me and rithvik

[granite fulcrum]

What how

I turned my location off

[pulsar kiln]

wut

idk

tell that to apple

[safe minnow]

💀

[shrewd cosmos]

Do intls have to leave country during summer if they cant find internship and then come back again for school?

Then do intls who dont have internship just stay in dorm or sthm?

[granite fulcrum]

Snowflake is still hiring

there r a lot of internationals here

[safe minnow]

Yeah

I feel like a good portion of the big Ns do internationals

[pulsar kiln]

the company i signed with back in oct/nov drug tested me last friday even though my internship starts in MAY and i smoked like 12 days before the drug test 💀 havent heard from them though and its been nearly a week so hopefully my offer didnt get rescinded jesus

thank god for my metabolism fr

[granite fulcrum]

Which companies still even drug test

half the engineers on crack is2g

[pulsar kiln]

dude fucking caterpillar

FR

no name ass company think they have the audacity to drug test

ok true

but like

its not like theyre top tier or anything

and its a pure swe position like

LMFAOOO

true

[gentle latch]

Probably not for you

Harder than average

[pulsar kiln]

@safe elbow when did u schedule ur discord phone for

[gentle latch]

I heard it's do hards
But tbh dp hards aren't that hard for lc monkeys

[granite fulcrum]

Just click on the link I sent

[gentle latch]

Math problems are the real hard lc problems

[pulsar kiln]

nah i was just wondering if u alr took it

[granite fulcrum]

Discord phone im pretty sure is some api or json shit

[pulsar kiln]

submitted my take home yesterday afternoon after receiving it on monday evening hoping its not too late lollll

[pulsar kiln]

even for native frameworks?

did shrey alr take it

[granite fulcrum]

I’m not sure

[pulsar kiln]

for the role description of native frameworks/tools it doesnt really make sense to have the interview be about apis lmfaooo

LMFAOOOOOOOOO

how tf do u have 100 people watching ur screen rn bro

[sinful locust]

where is the facebook intern posting

[pulsar kiln]

?????

aint no way 100 random ass people in a lecture hall saw my face photoshopped onto 2019 noah beck bro

[granite fulcrum]

this is what ive heard

[sinful locust]

did meta close intern posting?

[granite fulcrum]

ok i delete before i get banned

[pulsar kiln]

what was that message
