[safe minnow]

Personally I don't think I would mesh well with Zon's culture

I like more laid back places

[tulip aspen]

same guy for me

bro is the bringer of bad news

bro is SWE public enemy #1

i bet bro isnt even a real recruiter

twitch ai generated him to make him the scapegoat

[next blaze]

i have an 8 month internship offer, what do you think of quitting after 4 months if they cant make it a 4 month internship?
would they hit u with a lawsuit or smth if u do that 💀 , on the offer it says that u can give ur 2 weeks and leave, you provide us with two weeks’ written notice which we may choose to waive without acquiring any liability

[fresh temple]

they can't sue you or anything, it's at will employment

[keen minnow]

lmaoooo

[astral dew]

Are they providing housing all 8 months?

That’s the only issue I’d think u would have

[next blaze]

nah, its local

[astral dew]

Oh then I mean u should be fine tbh. Really no liabilities that I could think of

[fresh temple]

"i turned down a roblox and hrt interview and interviewed with microsoft lol"

someone just sent me that and thought it was justified

in what world am I living in

[safe minnow]

Who sent you it 🤔

[fresh temple]

some bozo, evidently

[safe minnow]

I mean maybe Microsoft is his dream company

🤔

[gentle latch]

@tepid jewel

[tepid jewel]

Daddy Nadella’s office is in the building next to mine

🫠

[gentle latch]

Tell him to cancel chatgpt
So google bard can win

[tepid jewel]

Nope.

[safe minnow]

Yeah everyone has their own unique priorities in life

[gentle latch]

Is hrt wlb bad? For swe

Hmm i heard the bad wlb is mainly for the traders
Not really for swe

[loud schooner]

I would say hrt is amongst the least bad among hft

[gentle latch]

Except maybe citadel
Citadel is hell

How so?

[timid wraith]

wait i heard meta internship opened like two weeks ago

should i apply are they actually going to hire?

[gentle latch]

It opened on jan 13th

[timid wraith]

shoot

so is it too late

im a sophomore so i dont care abt getting return offer i just want internship

[hearty river]

hi

[tepid jewel]

I would disagree with Juda ||please no ban me||

[timid wraith]

wait so if it opened on jan 13th have we heard of anyone hearing back about getting interview?

[gentle latch]

About hrt?

[tepid jewel]

I don’t think it’s worth going for Meta at this point

Meta

[timid wraith]

why

[loud schooner]

They are already doing final rounds lol

[timid wraith]

alsdkfj;alksdjlnac;alks

[loud schooner]

Some already got offers

[timid wraith]

ok so its too late im assuming?

[gentle latch]

Go for it

[loud schooner]

Ehh just apply doesn't hurt

[timid wraith]

wait huh apply to amazon now?

didnt they start hiring in like august

[gentle latch]

Just apply everywhere

[tepid jewel]

Just heard a lot of bad stuff from people who work there and it’s not a very stable company

[tepid jewel]

I agree with Juda here

[timid wraith]

im a soph so i dont care abt the experience of working there or getting return offer

if meta is trolling and all good intern candidates alr landed elsewhere, is it easier now to get in

[gentle latch]

What kind of bad stuff?

[tepid jewel]

Like no WLB. Constant fear of getting laid off and all. Real toxic environment of constant competition with teammates to try to outdo your coworkers to keep your job

Yes. It is I

Is that Joel Embiid?

[gentle latch]

My team was chill
My manager worked <= 40 hrs most weeks

[tepid jewel]

But can that be generalized to the company tho

[gentle latch]

Probably not

[tepid jewel]

I guess the same can be said about almost every company

Idk

I don’t like Zuck 🤣

[timid wraith]

for internships tho you dont have to worry abt any of the getting laid off stuff

[gentle latch]

You can choose your team when you join facebook
You can't do that at other places like google

[timid wraith]

u just care abt work experience and having that on resume

and learning and stuff

[gentle latch]

I was interning at twitter and still got laid off
That's prolly a special case tho lol

[tepid jewel]

I got to at MSFT

My case was weird tho

[gentle latch]

Oh nice

Why did you pick azure? Just curious

[tepid jewel]

I have a background in C+AI and have always been fascinated with its capabilities

[gentle latch]

I thought you just get team matched

Oh
So it's pretty limited
To what you get matched with

Do people usually get a lot to choose from?

Oh

[tepid jewel]

0?

[gentle latch]

0

[timid wraith]

bruh who cares

if u got into google u alr got into google

[gentle latch]

They gotta be more like facebook
Just let you pick

[gentle latch]

Team matters for most people

[tepid jewel]

Teams can dictate WLB and all

[gentle latch]

I wanna work with people im compatible with, a tech stack I like, and a product Im at least a little passionate about

[tepid jewel]

Especially if you are joining FT

[timid wraith]

im not joining FT tho

so it dont matter for me

[tepid jewel]

Even for intern, you don’t want to be on a team interning for 80 hrs/week

That happened to my friend

[gentle latch]

Good for you then

[tepid jewel]

Savagery from Juda 🗿

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm

You keep telling yourself that bud

It’s just that OpenAI has been around more which means it’s more accurate at reading data

Reading, interpreting, and presenting

Bard will get more accurate, but currently, ChatGPT is way better

[gentle latch]

That's why i need you to get in there and sabotage the whole operation

[hearty river]

SABOTAGE

@quaint bolt

[gentle latch]

They seem obvious but people might not think of these tricks themselves

Like leetcode

[gentle latch]

Cuz issa good book

[cerulean iron]

im kind of bumbed out to cause i was in the process for riot games and activision

[tulip aspen]

low risk and it would be cool if u got it

[cerulean iron]

rejected by activision cause of headcount, i was chosen for the riot games internship but they had to close the position 😭

[tulip aspen]

ripp

[cerulean iron]

getting the auto OAs would be good practice too

i graduate spring 2024

[safe minnow]

Wdym chosen? Chosen for the first interview? Or did you make it pass the final round?

[cerulean iron]

they chose me to be the intern

[safe minnow]

Rip

[cerulean iron]

but they had layoffs and restructuring happen

[safe minnow]

When did markchrome become a cookie cutter LinkedIn influencer 😭

[wraith marten]

Did anyone receive amazon oa recently?

[safe minnow]

Seeing how free/malloc works under the hood is pretty cool

[vague lion]

@proud whale

[proud whale]

LMFAOOOO

[proud whale]

What interviews do you plan to pass without being able to get interviews

[vague lion]

ur messing up the linkedin feed, the newsletter was enough

[proud whale]

Def but your average CS student not in this community has the biggest uphill battle against getting interviews to begin with

The sample size of people here is totally different though - most here are well on their way of getting interviews

[proud whale]

Dyk another person on LinkedIn who talks ab cs student / internship stuff? What makes it cookie cutter - the style of writing?

[granite fulcrum]

are the leetcode tagged questions legit? how do they determine the questions

[static spindle]

idk how they determine it, but so far from my experience its legit

[spice jetty]

i got hired last year around april but most folks did get hired from sept -oct, jan - feb

[gentle latch]

how come april? When did they reach out to you?

[real sedge]

It is pretty cookiecuttee feeling ngl

[spice jetty]

i was like a super late hire bc my team was disorganized lmao

they thought they weren’t getting an intern

[tawdry frigate]

i m hungry

i want food

what do i eat

[gentle latch]

Ramen

[tawdry frigate]

good suggestion but i’m too lazy to boil water

instead i made oatemeal with almond milk and huel hehe

it’s lowkey pretty good

now eating mac and cheese

leftover from dinner

[slow whale]

id do amazon if i had empty resume but if i had a decent internship already id do anduril. For example, if i had some okay internship like amazon, coinbase, or some other company alr, anduril would b my choice.

Yeah just for the sake of diversifying and trying diff places. But if u don’t have anything alr, I think Amazon will def be more recognizable to the avg recruiter

[granite fulcrum]

is chatgpt down

[simple garden]

It always break in the morning

I assume East coast ppl abusing it

[fresh temple]

[tepid jewel]

[hallow scroll]

how long do u guys take to plan out a coding problem before actually coding

i just did a interview and i spent like 15 mins planning I finished the problem but I was messy and couldve cleaned it up with better code if i had more time

[versed kestrel]

do u mean lc or real code?

[hallow scroll]

lc

[gentle latch]

In an interview? I do probably around 5-10 min of planning, then 5-10 of coding
If it's a medium
But if it's a hard then more planning less coding is probably ok

[hallow scroll]

like in an interview

[versed kestrel]

maybe 5? idt u have 15mins to plan out everything

[gentle latch]

Depends on the problem

[hallow scroll]

yea makes sense, I prolly took too long on planning

nah the problem was easy I didnt have trouble logic/coding wise but i had to resort to sloppyness to finish the other requirements in time

it was an ood problem so its a bit different then lc

[versed kestrel]

like i only go so far as split the problem into individual chunks

and start coding/think more abt it when i get to it

[hallow scroll]

interesting

[safe minnow]

Imo with enough practice you can visualize how all the parts are going to look and then write cleanly/concisely

[hallow scroll]

yea tru

well that was my first interview in like 3 months and it didnt go that bad so im not upset

just practice for the hub

[gentle latch]

Praxis 😻

[tepid jewel]

[tepid jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/disintegrating-funny-thanos-gif-22399978

[gentle latch]

For a princeton mf like u, anything is possible

[gentle latch]

No way spotify asks 2sum

[hallow scroll]

they asked me level order nodes in tree so

[gentle latch]

And no way u forgot the solution to 2sum
The solution to 2sum is something every code monkey knows
It's like breathing air

[granite fulcrum]

it was a slight variation

[safe minnow]

I also failed a slightly variation of 2 sum earlier on

[granite fulcrum]

i spent all my time on 2sum so they didnt ask me the second question

[gentle latch]

Aight im applying

[hallow scroll]

amazon asked me slight variation of 2 sum and i barely solved it

idk how i got the offer i brute forced it

[safe minnow]

Yeah same

[granite fulcrum]

how am i gonna pass interviews if i cant 2sum

[hallow scroll]

w

[hallow scroll]

r u trolling i thiught you were like top school and multiple offers

i might be thinking of ricky

[gentle latch]

WALTER

WALTER is also cracked i think
Unless they trolled everything

[granite fulcrum]

can i 3sum if i cant 2sum?

[gentle latch]

Cant trust mfs these days

[granite fulcrum]

no deadass the question was 2sum

i forgot how to do a map in python

tried to chatgpt how to generate a. map

and it gave me set()

@low vale I got a month to prep, do I relearn grind 75 or do I continue cses

[gentle latch]

U can probably relearn grind75 in a couple days if u really already learned it

Yeah but won’t that take even more time 🤔

[gentle latch]

Or even in a couple hours

[safe minnow]

call

people in the zon server are saying their nyc location is getting changed to seattle

[safe minnow]

Time to see reverie

[hallow scroll]

literally the only reason i took zon was because I wanted to be in nyc with gf

might as well take slack at this point

[granite fulcrum]

i took nyc to be with imaginary gf

but then she broke up with me

[safe minnow]

You’re holding both?

[hallow scroll]

yea

[safe minnow]

I think so

[hallow scroll]

yea lol i wanted to stay close

nah mine still says nyc

Dear juster 🌸🐾,

Thank you for reaching out and expressing your excitement to join the Amazon team. 🤗 We appreciate your enthusiasm and your request to change your internship start date to the fall season. 🍁🍂

Unfortunately, we are unable to grant your request for a change in the internship start date. We understand that you have a family vacation planned for the summer, but we have already made arrangements and commitments based on our current schedule. 😔

We encourage you to consider joining us for the summer and making the most out of the internship experience. 🌟 We believe that you will be able to balance your work and your personal obligations, and we hope that you will still be able to enjoy your summer vacation as well.

Thank you again for your interest in Amazon and we wish you all the best. 🌈💕

Best regards,

[wise island]

o god

what does this mean and how do i prep

[fresh temple]

it means what they said

they're gonna ask you a few questions

[earnest hatch]

Looks pretty straightforward for me, what part are you confused by

[wise island]

mainly like the last part, your approach to building FE solutions with the user in mind

[loud schooner]

Sound like some ui/ux behavioral knowledge

[earnest hatch]

They just wanna see your thought process, how you make solutions with the user in mind (like implementing accessibility for example)

Using alt text on images, stuff like that

[vague lion]

^

they might ask some systems/data/be related questions too

i got asked "what analytics would u keep track of when building x product" in the past

[wise island]

gotcha

[wise island]

i think its gonna be an implemented for something

how would u create x and keeping in mind user experience

[granite fulcrum]

I write the moistest cold emails

I call them moistmails

[earnest hatch]

It's not just you, I haven't had much luck cold emailing this recruiting season. It was easier last year. This year they're just saying "we'll review your app and let you know". And then a week later I search on LinkedIn and see someone else getting the role (it was opened for an internal candidate).

[gloomy plover]

forwarded my resume to hiring managers 😎

[austere harbor]

did anyone get this too?

[static spindle]

uhoh

did you get the location move call?

[austere harbor]

nope, did not get anything from them, just couldnt log in

[crisp berry]

why is this a jane street tagged problem

[static spindle]

it’s for the quant traders

[fickle ivy]

mine works

[silent inlet]

Is Amazon lenient on location change? I had trouble changing mine so just stuck with the location

this was for summer 2021 though

[gloomy plover]

without using sign operands

he's not, i got interviewed by 2 MLEs for a frontend position

[versed kestrel]

he's prob just being nice then

[wise island]

😭

[versed kestrel]

they will do a holistic eval of your profile (including comments from all rounds) so even if u nail the last round you might still get rejected

[wise island]

i think my performance in the only other previous round was very good

it was only really 2 rounds

a take home and then a final kinda chit-chat

[median hedge]

As someone who has been quietly stalking the discord channel, I noticed that the entire discord server is a bunch of people belittling other people's career decisions. For example, I saw someone asking on that discord, about working at some Fintech company. I shit you not, a bunch of people started to make fun of this person for even thinking about working there. Calling the person "dull" since it’s not a FAANG. There have been so many similar instances. I also it quite bugs me that so many people care more about the compensation. They don't care about what the company does, what the job is, the culture or even where the job site even is. Plus, there is a lot of cheating and leaks on OAs even though the company asks you to keep them private. You may pass the initial OA because of answers you collected from server, but when you meet face to face with an engineer; they will quickly realize what happened. Probably will get your self immediately rejected.

My advice for everyone is that do not use that server to make career decisions. You will probably end up miserable in what you do. Do research based on company culture, technology, and the market space they are in. If you think that company is a good fit, then go for it. Don't make your decisions just because toxic people on Discord told you so.

@sinful locust https://leetcode.com/problems/course-schedule-iv/

this ones good

Nah its not top sort

this one isnt

[hushed charm]

ohh like @lru_cache decorator in python?

[muted summit]

well you can do it

but my sol wasnt top sort

[hushed charm]

never used it but maybe i should llearn

[muted summit]

and neetcode wasnt either

i dont think its most optimal either tbh

check out the question im sure you can do it fast

its like ||dfs + caching||

[crisp berry]

they teach all of this at uw

lol

i thought this is all standard for algo

[muted summit]

👀

gl to who's interviewing

[crisp berry]

wow

water

[muted summit]

talking about washington here

[crisp berry]

idk im still in the midst of the class

binary search is taught in like DS class though

[muted summit]

hard binary search is so annoying

[crisp berry]

prefix sum and dp stuff was introduced at th begging

beginning

but in more detail later i think

we are on greedy rn

its the same thing

do u guys think u can use bisect.bisect_left in an interview

if binary search is only one component of the problem

[muted summit]

yes but no if its asking you to implement bsearch

[crisp berry]

ok sounds good

does C++ have something like this too

i would assume they do

[muted summit]

yeah i believe so

[crisp berry]

in <algorithm> or something

[muted summit]

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/binary_search they even have this

upper_bound() I think

[median hedge]

Oh wow

Lru cache and sudoku solver seem cool

[crisp berry]

i would ask Median of two sorted arrays

😡

yeah i didnt implement the top sort i used dfs instead but it should work

Do u think lru cache and sudoku solver are reasonable?

[crisp berry]

depends on the company

if ur saying like big tech/hot startup

sounds reasonable

for a random small company thats kinda dickish

if you wanna start easy

u can def use that as a followup

[tawny dust]

Why u reject me?

[safe minnow]

Yeah it is a level up

[gentle latch]

I think reverie has good genetics

[crisp berry]

isnt number of islands pretty easy though as long as you have seen DFS or BFS

like its literally just plain dfs/bfs basically

[safe minnow]

You were born the wrong month

[crisp berry]

its basically just a knowledge question

"do you know thia lgo"
