i shouldve asked jensen huang for a gpu when i met him
i’m a freshman and i have a return offer from lockheed martin for this summer that i accepted in the fall for 18 an hour but i just got offered 40 an hour by a unicorn with less name recognition but doing more what i want. should i renege and just accept the unicorn offer?
😭
i thought the same thing i didnt hate it though i worked with newer technologies in the space side
Renege Lockheed ASAP, unless you wanna be restricted on phone usage at work and depressed like @hearty river
restricted phone usage?
idk i got lockheed in hs so it was easier
it’s fetch which is pretty small @honest spire
yea i just wanted to make sure
they only offer to high schoolers who live near the big offices and it’s mad easy to get if you know how to code
i worked with good engineers at lockheed i swear
all of them were trapped for like 2 years bc they got lockheed to pay for their masters
alabama i got paid 14 as hs intern 😹
yea fs
@hearty river
i mean it was fine the team i was on was cool and it was really chill
i did the task they gave me for the entire summer in like two weeks and then i just sat around and collected money
people were really cool, i worked almost entirely remote from my team though
yea no lc for interviews
amazon called me and moved my location from nyc to seattle
😔
yeah
they said they doing this for most aws
interns
robinhood better anyways
😎
they said they will open fall once they figure out demand from managers
it was weird cause it was a toronto number who called me
and the pay
i mean if u do that to any stock
past year is not good
real
Company: Robinhood (return offer)
Location: Remote in (SF, NYC, Seattle, Los Angeles, Boston)
Base: 135k
Stock: 200k/4
Bonus: 13.5k target
Sign-on: 40k
TC: 240k
if only money were everything 
The Ramp's coding challenge is not that hard
yeah
Happened to me too
So I reneged
Slack
Still waiting 
They did me dirty :(
Even if they let me do fall idk if it’s worth it to take a sem off I’d rather do something remote unless I got like LinkedIn fall
W
Fr
I’d gladly do the hub with class tho
For funsies
Lmao Fr
I was so team amazon
you're not doing amzn?
what happened
seattle summer would be super fun
thousands of msft and amzn interns kek
Only did amazon for nyc location
I was always biased toward slack for high return offer and good choice in team
I have a good chance of doing infra stuff
@honest spire Extra headcount, maybe they'll give it to you and take you off waitlist 
Damn u left
greetings soldiers
Give me mod
Me neither
Hi
Someone make a market on rejoin timeline
bro def coming back
Everyone does…
pause on the reacts
why he leave
I think so
W
REALLY
Wtf u came back so quickly lol
has anyone heard back from Discord for security SWE intern
New lc update is perfect
I hope no PM ruins this
Editorial finally back next to the ide
What about it?
Thank you
I’m almost entirely convinced that the SIG slander has been perpetuated by one person on Reddit
old ui is nice but takes too long to load questions/no shortcut for submissions/flashbang white colorway
they made it kind of bad at first but nows it similar to old ui in terms of sidebar layout
also why is leetcode.com/company/whatevercompany so slow. lc needs to improve its infra
lc is prob full of lc monkeys
oh yeah
im not excited tbh
idk why i signed up
People hate on SIG for Swe
i didnt know it was like 8 hrs long
Not sure why
Yo
This is such a pro bro i could make so many jokes
Yea for ft it doesn’t seem great but for intern it does seem kinda fun
I worked back office Swe at a hedge fund and that was fun as hell just bc I could grind work and learn a ton
Culture seems very similar to@my@old job
But we’ll see whether I like old job or new job
U mind if I dm u about this?
Accept fr
PAUSE
MEESTA FROG U NEED TO SAY PAUSE AFTER SAYING SOMETHING SUS
u dumb stupid frog
MEESTA FROGGG
kek

@hearty river
Stop dick riding praxis @simple garden
How many teachers in ur classroom rn
excluding yahkuna
of course
chadkuna
why is amazon singled out on here?
r/csmajors rules
is it also like
the easiest to get into?
like that's the reason why
they have that there
cuz so many ppl cloud it with posts
ah i c
rip there aren't any subreddits i can ask about amazon stuff then
lol
oh lool
alright
btw did you get off the waitlist?
i didn't rip
pray lol
Cheat on it, do it asap
Something a fed would say

I feel like Amazon oa is easy enough for chatGPT to do innit
And then the technical is a dice roll
You can get something like valid parentheses
Or lru cache
until they ask u to explain the code u “wrote” for the oa
I mean as long as you’re not a total bozo you can explain code for a LC medium no
Like I can understand LC medium solutions from neetcode but it’s hard to write it on the spot
True true
im doing this lc "Random Pick with Weight" i understand now that solution is more leaned toward a modified binary search with freq array but the way i did it is i jst made a 100 size array using percentage of num to sum ratio. Yes you can probably already see the issue what if percent in less than 1% well than i threw logic out the window and jst returned a random index. stupid yes but it wrk. Is this valid :
Well its a stupid question allows to much freedom with output.
What is your question here, you mean a second round of OA or rounds after an OA? Rarely to the former, yes to the latter
he means he wants to apply again to same role
or he missed first round
Create new email but usually there’s a cooldown period
They don’t respond most of the time
depends on how they set up there application system if its based off emails then u can getoff with different email but if its with name(unlikely) or some type of id then no
also on how big company is and how far along u were in internship process first round. This is all me just guessing by the way i personlly ahve never done it.
yeah i guess no point to this cheecky hack but no way a interviewer will let this slide.
How are you going to cheat if the OA is proctored?
Second monitor, second laptop/iPad, whatever
I mean I’m not thinking too hard about it, if you can’t do the OA then you probably can’t crack the interview
Exactly, why even bother lol
But since the original guy can’t do LC
It’s a possibility
Idk Amazon interviews are random
They’ll give you easy shit sometimes
More about LP
Just pray to the rng gods for some good loot lol
agree
why everyone got lc easy and I got med with follow up to hard ?

when did you apply?
dont cheat on amazon oa 💀
how are you gonna learn how to solve problems on your own for technicals
what can you expect from a firmware engineering position technical interview
has anyone here taken 18 credit hours in a semester
would you say its manageable while doing new grad recruiting 🤔 i dont have a lot of hard stuff left its mostly gen eds i never took
i got stats 2 left and capstone but those 2 are the only difficult sounding ones
yeah makes sense, im in a similar spot rn lol im in some random communications class I thought would be a free gen ed but its my hardest class right now 
Any of y’all talk to Kleiner Perkins or know timeline?
IMO it’s not about the number of credits it’s about your classes since some classes take up 2 hrs a week while others take up 20 hrs
yea fair, i have a lot of freedom since 4 of the 6 are gonna be whatever I choose so ill probably pick something easy
Yeah it’s doable just choose the free classes lol
If there are any easy asynchronous classes take those
Anyone know how many rounds spotify does for their summer intern position? I just got invited to the first round
Might vary by team, ask your recruiter
i was a finalist last year did my coding challenge in february and had my interview in march
but didnt match bc i dont go to stanford or mit or anything lmao and i wasn’t a junior
the shitty thing w KP is that most folks have an offer coming in tho which i figure you do although the program says you’d get matched 💀
so dont worry
W
i got it yesterday, absolutely bombed it and just got invited to interview rn
krishna when did you become an anime girl

I was wondering where you were getting those from
The first one 💀
Yeah I have a feeling you didn't send the worse ones here for a good reason


stop
No u
do hackerrank oa's submit ur final code or last submitted code?
thank god idk why I kept getting "unexpected token"

I never submitted it I only ran test cases
Listless geek Mizuto Irido and introverted nerd Yume Ayai seemed like a match made in heaven, connected by their mutual love for literature. Unfortunately, their differences gradually grew, and they separated just after their middle school graduation. But, as if by divine comedy, the two find themselves reunited as step-siblings. A rivalry begin...

I hope @hearty river has a good day today
yes
but i assume the process will be similar for US?
BABY I LOVE YOU
baby i love you 😘
BABY I LOVE YOU
thanks 🙏
for me I had to explain how I solved one of the questions on the OA as well as 1 or 2 new (don't remember) problems that I solved on the spot. They were on the easier side of leetcode mediums

Are we expected to take the offer right as soon as we receive it? How would you go about askin for some timee while making sure your position stays?
mathworks rejected me after a really good final tho so if ppl get fall offers i will send strongly worded emails to the people working at matlab customer service
Yo wait the fuck up and give me some extra time
Say that word for word
how did u know I'm lurking 💀

i think i got like 4/15, 5/15 and 8/15 😭

speaking of i must show off some cool code optimization i did
no
no
poke.hp = calculate_stat(poke.hp, poke.iv, poke.ev, poke.level, True)
poke.atk = calculate_stat(poke.atk, poke.iv, poke.ev, poke.level)
poke.d = calculate_stat(poke.d, poke.iv, poke.ev, poke.level)
poke.satk = calculate_stat(poke.satk, poke.iv, poke.ev, poke.level)
poke.sdef = calculate_stat(poke.sdef, poke.iv, poke.ev, poke.level)
poke.spd = calculate_stat(poke.spd, poke.iv, poke.ev, poke.level)
def calculate_stat(stat, iv, ev, lvl, is_hp=False):
return int((((2 * stat + iv + (ev / 4)) * lvl) / 100) + lvl*is_hp + 5+(5*is_hp))```
this was ugly
```py
poke.hp, poke.atk, poke.d, poke.satk, poke.sdef, poke.spd = [
int((2 * getattr(poke, s) + poke.iv + poke.ev / 4) * poke.level / 100 + 5 + 5 * (s == 'hp') + poke.level * (s == 'hp'))
for s in ('hp', 'atk', 'd', 'satk', 'sdef', 'spd')
]```
😄
i love this fieled

Did anyone get an offer from Nvidia for summer? Or are they on hiring freeze?
do you know what KISS is?
hiring freeze seems team dependent
Yes
We can swap office tours 
say less 😩

You’re also gonna be in the Bay Area over the summer? I thought you were in NYC cuz slack
Nah not yet
I was waiting on CCA to open up but they pushed apps back to march 1st
amazon was nyc, slack is SF

their prices didnt seem too bad i think
Ayo the entirety of the 2025 gang is gonna be in SF
W

do u know if there is single dorms
anyone do patreon OA?
looks like its only shared
Are they hella cheap or something?
Yeah but last summer it was like $2k. This summer they haven’t even listed their prices yet
hmm i dont see single dorms on the site i'll wait ig and see when they open
Are the dorms shared bathrooms?
i think for a single you get a bathroom in unit
i meant like the entire apartment to yourself
I don’t know if that’ll be an option yea
Bro… 😭 per month
Def not. But again, it’s SF. 2k isn’t gonna get u a 1 bedroom in normal prices, def not gonna get u that during the summer
Dude that’s a freaking W! Mine is pre 
Oh nvm that's not that op
i have a couple places so far that are like 2.5-3.5k for a single and not that bad
i just have to hope one allows for short lease
Bro I’m getting 1.7k pre tax… and after my internship starts so 2k+ isn’t even an option 😭
god damn bruh they doing you dirty rip
They smoking crack lmao
thats mad cheap ting
In London?
Or SF
Ah ok

bruh 
I kept asking linkedin about layoffs and everyone swore that they wouldnt have them bc it went horribly last time
now recruiter layoffs
I cant see tiktok laying off tho 
did you guys renege your other offers yet or waiting till near may
the nordstrom rescind was scary af
waiting
i don't really care about how bad recruiter said i am anymore lol
better be safe
so my linkedin recruiter that was supposed to move my offer to fall got laid off 
I have no backups
living life on the edge
let me guess
hmm starts with s?
nop
e?
oh shit i know her?
how did u know 😩
its a he

is his name long right?
that prob gives it away
yeah no 😭😭😭
I thought the male recruiter would give it away
he was a recruiter for 10 yrs goddam
there were staff+ engs commenting on his post abt their internship exp :(((
@rapid swan 
both?? 😭
yeah
one in 2021 and one in 2022

in a case where you are trying to decline FAANG, is it good to let the offer decision deadline pass without action or actively go ahead and decline?
i lowkey feel bad about actively declining

It doesn’t make any diff
It's one of those comps that you have to know is different from the rest
You itemize for the comp, not the units itself
For example, bis zed is different on lasercorp vs duelist
Also spark is required for the comp
LMFAO
OA?
LC daily is dp hard
i hate messenger
do u guys reach out to ur recruiter and thank them after u do the final?
yes
how long after
like right after
I just say something along the lines of "hi i wanted to express my thanks for your help throughout the process, I had fun speaking with the engineers and I hope to hear from you soon"
but make it sound more like friendly ig, just something short and sweet
What exactly is your pfp
man chatgpt is so broken
man of culture
art

I lik da anime
Around lc easy-med level when I took it last summer. Not sure if it's rng
its not bad based on past experience. either 2 easy or easy medium
50 wpm is... impressive
hey im not at goldman sachs, but what part of dallas are you gonna be staying at?

Isn’t Facebook full of old people anyways
Well 1% of a billion is still huge but it still feels a bit wack to me

i posted 9gag memes on facebook 
A friend of mine is doing the Expedia final round, any idea of the technical difficulty? From what I’m seeing online it’s mostly LC easy/meds.

@wise prism
no hft offer 
is there much point in doing 7 big ns?
i thought the only reason to do a lot of internship is to work up to big n
@gentle latch
To flex on everyone
heap lc hards are always the easiest for some reason
i think they consider knowing what a heap is "hard"

yo
im not going to icpc regionals tmrw man its snowing
not tryna drive in all that to sit in a stinky room w sweats
yes
just say rock climbing
please don't
@simple garden
ive never rock climbed
shopping is more original than rock climbing at this point
also if you say rock climbing all of the sweaty nerdy rock climbers are going to swarm you and be like "whats the hardest color you've done??? i do purples!!"
say ur a discord mod
is purple the hardest
i think everyone in tech likes when number goes up
i dont think so, i think black is? purple might be 6th
so prob theres some connection w rock climbing difficulties
aight noted. maybe one day i will actually go rock climbing
Also hiking is another good one to write
i would do rock climbing but tech interns have ruined it for me
What companies are still accepting interns
no
is this swimmer 455ddl ricky or a diff one
equivalent of benching like 350+
holykf
my bench ass
proabbly like 230 rn
tops
i dont train tho
i only do pull day
and rock climbing
whats tubby
one day we will haev nice weather
hahahahah madison weather hahahah big funny
but u know
feeling like shit being unable to see the sun or go outside without freezing to death makes spring/summer feel all the better
would be sick if i could just take up the entire sidewalk with my width
^
it makes me mad when people take up the entire sidewalk like 3 people type shit just walking side by side so i just want to take up the entire sidewalk
so they have to walk arodun me

u can go !offer amazon now

Why does it have to be an anime pfp?
I do like a refresh
Anime pfps are cool
I wasn't hating or anything
I was just curious why
Be handsome
Or pretty
I would go on glassdoor and find out what behavioral questions they like to ask and prepare answers to them beforehand
Good luck!
A bit of humour helps
has anyone gone through the amazon sde final interview so far?
