[safe minnow]

I do not understand you as an individual enough to state my opinion here

[gentle latch]

I just wanna chill at a chill company like google

[safe minnow]

What about still interviewing with the other big names to negotiate with

[gentle latch]

Yeah ill do that
Dont wanna get lowballed

[safe minnow]

Also 2s swe

[gentle latch]

Yeah

What about u, final? What are u aiming for

For new grad

[safe minnow]

Still got a few years to go so currently putting those thoughts on a back burner

Hopefully a good return offer will eliminate the entire NG recruiting cycle for me

[midnight sonnet]

Morn

[gentle latch]

Good morning

Nooo why tanz

Oh noce

Nice

BUT WHO GONNA CARRY THE BOATS

[midnight sonnet]

[next blaze]

[fickle ivy]

i see

[safe minnow]

[hallow scroll]

The rng range with them is insane

I got two sum lol

But ik some guy who got hard dp

[quick hare]

It’s that time of the year

When I get 300 rejections

[midnight sonnet]

how fast does coinabse give oa or phone?

getting twitchy

[earnest hatch]

They're usually fast

But they have fewer university recruiters so that'll probably have an impact on that

Still expecting it to be relatively fast since we're closer to summer

[sinful locust]

Was the posting for summer or fall?

Same

[ashen matrix]

first final rejection from interview

[sinful locust]

I need the remote

[safe minnow]

Why are you still pbjpie

[ashen matrix]

more applying after class

[sinful locust]

💀

I’m the real pbjpie

[safe minnow]

[ashen matrix]

btw if ur applying in march or rather at this time

companies get back late march-april/may?

i applied to like 100ish so far, i prob gunna have to spam apply

[sinful locust]

I’m still spamming

[ashen matrix]

literally want anything data science related

[sinful locust]

It’s never too late

[ashen matrix]

[lucid seal]

do you know about the hiring manager interview?

[ashen matrix]

yeah i underestimated the economy atm

[lucid seal]

what questions can i expect?

[sinful locust]

Usually it’s behavioral but they can ask anything

[lucid seal]

i ask recuiter, and they said culture fit and behaviour

Is there a list of questions i should prepare?

[ashen matrix]

usually behavioral, if the guy is a senior person

then they can ask anything technical

or related experience

[lucid seal]

im internship

[ashen matrix]

yeah

they ask that

[sinful locust]

Basic behavioral questions

Like talk about your favorite project

Tell me biggest challenge

[ashen matrix]

the interviews i had where there was a senior SWE, DS, analyst

they might ask something related to DS/ python/sql

[safe minnow]

@sinful locust

[ashen matrix]

but its mainly behavioral if its with just a HR

[sinful locust]

[lucid seal]

this is with hiring manger, he is software engineering manager

its a final round

[sinful locust]

Behavioral most likely

[lucid seal]

and i suck at behavourial interviews

[sinful locust]

Just lie

[lucid seal]

i do

[ashen matrix]

final itnerview with manager is just cultural fit

[sinful locust]

I don’t think anyone actually tells the truth

[lucid seal]

how long should my answer for "tell me about yourself" be?

1 minute okay?

[sinful locust]

yea

[lucid seal]

the interview is 30 mins in total for contex

[ashen matrix]

how is that

a final

did they not ask u that in the recruiter/first interview

its literally the first thing they ask u

[safe minnow]

Ehhh

[sinful locust]

it's an introduction

[lucid seal]

ive been asked it

But in my experience, every interview starts with that question

[sinful locust]

ur introducing urself to the hiring manager

[safe minnow]

Yeah it's a very standard intro question

[sinful locust]

same

[ashen matrix]

final interview is literally just a cultural fit

i wouldn't overcomplicate things

[lucid seal]

kk, just worried cuz i have failed a culture fit/ behavoir interview before 😢

[ashen matrix]

its usually them deciding between you and another candidate

[sinful locust]

yeah

[lucid seal]

damn ..

[sinful locust]

i've been rejected at hiring manager phase cus someone else had more experience

[lucid seal]

This is an internship role

[ashen matrix]

yeah

[sinful locust]

yeah

[lucid seal]

how much experience they want

[sinful locust]

i didn't lie enough 😢

[lucid seal]

you lied about past work experience?

[ashen matrix]

mine was mainly cause other guy interest aligned more with the company

like either they want someone local

[safe minnow]

[ashen matrix]

or they knew that person wouldn't career hop

[sinful locust]

nah, it's just that my prev internship had 5 people working on one easy project, and i told that to the hiring manager and he was not impressed

i should've said i coded the whole thing

[lucid seal]

oh

[sinful locust]

make ur past experience sound challenging

[lucid seal]

ok

Should i talk about my previous internship in my "tell me about yourself"?

[sinful locust]

wtf

stop doxing

[safe minnow]

💀

[ashen matrix]

my last internship was also 5 people on a project

it was defense stuff

[safe minnow]

Was it?

[sinful locust]

yes..

[ashen matrix]

pretty sure its a common thing

[safe minnow]

Ok ok

[lucid seal]

@sinful locust ?

[safe minnow]

Pretty sure blox is one per project

[ashen matrix]

either company hires a bunch of interns and throw them on a team

or u be an intern with a bunch of experienced people

[lucid seal]

my previous internship was me alone ..

[sinful locust]

i usually do a 1 sentence summary of the internship

[lucid seal]

what points do you mention in your "tell me about yourself"

[sinful locust]

basic intro stuff like name, college, interests, and then past exp

it should be less than 1 min cus you'll go deeper in your experience later

[lucid seal]

what typa stuff we talking about for interests?

coding?

[safe minnow]

[ashen matrix]

[sinful locust]

like if u enjoy ML, or web dev

[ashen matrix]

what year are u

this sounds like

freshman advise

[lucid seal]

3rd year

[sinful locust]

💀

[lucid seal]

kek

[sinful locust]

chilllll 💀

[ashen matrix]

did u not have a track in ur BS

i thought most bachelors have a track

[lucid seal]

idk what that is

[safe minnow]

Mine was systems

[lucid seal]

idk maybe my university doesnt do it

[ashen matrix]

like u focus ur classes in a domain

[sinful locust]

mine school has a general track

[ashen matrix]

elective/etc

[safe minnow]

Wdym general

[lucid seal]

barely ...

[ashen matrix]

like

[lucid seal]

Theres only like 2 electivers

[safe minnow]

Like every school has a core curriculum

[safe minnow]

What are they

[sinful locust]

litearlly just take any cs classes

[ashen matrix]

u have core curriculum, and then u pilot towards

a domain

[safe minnow]

Oh lmao

[ashen matrix]

like ML/ web devs/ systems/etc

[lucid seal]

its different for each year

[safe minnow]

[lucid seal]

like logic or calculus

[sinful locust]

[ashen matrix]

[lucid seal]

or robotics class or internet system class

[safe minnow]

That's not cs electives

At least calculus isn't a cs elective

[lucid seal]

im in europe btw

different system over here

[ashen matrix]

[sinful locust]

:worry:

[lucid seal]

Should i mention non technical interests?

[sinful locust]

:PeepoJesusChrist:

[lucid seal]

Like web3

[ashen matrix]

i mean easiest thing is like

just check the job description

[sinful locust]

you can, but you don't have to, it's just an introduction

yeah

[ashen matrix]

and tell them ur interests is watever the internship is in

[lucid seal]

ok

[ashen matrix]

if its a web dev internship, just tell them u wanna do stuff in web dev

etc

[lucid seal]

Is it okay to fake projects?

[sinful locust]

if u can explain it well

[lucid seal]

Talk about imaginary project

as long as they dont ask to see it

[sinful locust]

they most likely won't and if they do just say u don't have it anymore lol

[lucid seal]

kekek

ok

What typa stuff do you answer for "what was your biggest challenge?"

[sinful locust]

talk about a project

[lucid seal]

personal project yeah?

[sinful locust]

personal proejct or internship project

[lucid seal]

kk, i think internship project sounds better

[sinful locust]

yes

[safe minnow]

When you can't make things thread safe automatically 😔

[sinful locust]

how did you solve that problem

[safe minnow]

By manually adding in the locks

https://app.codesignal.com/get-certified?invite=zeFMeM5iSoEERMXkD

Try this

[sinful locust]

don't u need cam on?

[lucid seal]

whats the probability of me failing this hiring manager round

30 mins, final round

in person

[sinful locust]

50%

[lucid seal]

too high

[sinful locust]

25%

[lucid seal]

then ima be unemployed

if i fail

[sinful locust]

is it a big company?

[safe minnow]

[lucid seal]

fairly big

[sinful locust]

then you'll most likely pass

[lucid seal]

nah actually they only have 500 employee accoridng to google

[lucid seal]

smaller company, less chance of pass?

last year, the big companies failed me in final, bank and consulting

[sinful locust]

interesting.......

i've absolutely bombed behaviorals for big companies and somehow passed lol

i had super stutturs, i literaly paused for 5 minutes, and my stories did not flow

[lucid seal]

hmm

Does it mean anything since the company is making me go in person?

Ive never been in person for any other interview

[sinful locust]

they might interview everyone in person

[lucid seal]

i also had to sign an NDA

[sinful locust]

oh

so then you can get sued

[lucid seal]

for what

[sinful locust]

talking about your interview

[lucid seal]

fr?

[sinful locust]

yeah and you go to jail forever

[lucid seal]

nah you troll

[sinful locust]

oh

pbjpie never troll

[lucid seal]

pbjpie teach me how to pass and i half my salary with you

[sinful locust]

💀

[lucid seal]

half salary for 3 months

NDA for behavourial interview seems weird

ddunno if thats standard

[midnight sonnet]

@earnest hatch ty brother for coinbase to be coinbased

[earnest hatch]

Lmao

[midnight sonnet]

i can't stop laughing man

[lucid seal]

lmao

[strange compass]

lmao...even funnier cuz it's actually true

[lucid seal]

is it?

@sinful locust What questions do you usually ask the interviewer?

[strange compass]

Can't say true for this specific instance, but nepotism happens in the real world and that's what it speaks to

[earnest hatch]

Yeah to me it reads like someone got salty they were rejected and then posted this to cope with it

[strange compass]

The perfect way to handle saltiness if that is the way...humor in the face of adversity

[sinful locust]

no intern postings today...

[ashen matrix]

how much time u guys spent applying+ grinding for interviews

[atomic orbit]

anyone here go through the reddit swe internship interview process

[ashen matrix]

[devout jewel]

[tired void]

[gentle latch]

[lucid seal]

[gentle latch]

Oh I didn't do it, but @devout jewel got an offer

[lucid seal]

oh ok

[lucid seal]

Do you have experience in hiring manager final rounds?

[gentle latch]

Yeah it was basically just a behavioral interview for me

[lucid seal]

[gentle latch]

Look on glassdoor.com

[lucid seal]

look for what on glassdoor

[gentle latch]

Questions

[lucid seal]

[gentle latch]

Yeah

[lucid seal]

[earnest hatch]

They still seem to be hiring but I'm not expecting anything at this point from them

[sinful locust]

no

do coke

[midnight sonnet]

I literally reached out to all of discrods hiring team and HR lmao and they're like oh yeah your exp seems good we'll ping the HMs to take a gander at your resume you still have time dw

[safe minnow]

Do you need a stimulant or a depressant

[midnight sonnet]

Fuck

All this time wasted when I could've spent it on acquiring the mythical gf

[earnest hatch]

you still have time dw

[cyan garnet]

can anyone suggest what I could add to 1 of my experiences

this

oops

1 second 😭

this

[midnight sonnet]

Get laid

[earnest hatch]

ChatGPT is pretty hot right now, good skill to have

[cyan garnet]

chatgpt writes resume bullet points?

[safe minnow]

Wdym

[cyan garnet]

can anyone suggest what to add

cuz all I am doing rn

is web dev

for her overall research page

and then I am going to be doing real research stuff

[midnight sonnet]

Just telling this keener highschool kid to touch grass ans forget about this shit now

[cyan garnet]

bro im literally doing the bare minimum

[safe minnow]

[midnight sonnet]

Dick che you know what I won't finish my sentence

[cyan garnet]

bro??

[safe minnow]

My god multithreading is so fucking broken

Sped up my code by 10x with 4 threads vs 1

[sinful locust]

Use 100 threads to speed up code 400x 😉

[safe minnow]

Hold up lemme try this

[midnight sonnet]

Multitrack drifting but for code

[safe minnow]

Ok that just slowed down my code by 20x

[sinful locust]

💀

[safe minnow]

Spent more time cancelling threads than actually doing shit

[midnight sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/train-drift-multitrack-gif-8790057

This for work?

[safe minnow]

L vm moment

[cyan garnet]

I used multithreading in my cs final

for hs

my teacher didnt even bother reading my code

bro gave me a 100

and like a 3% mark boost

95 -> 98

💀

[safe minnow]

In what language

[cyan garnet]

java

it was p ez to do

I didnt understand the concept at 1st thats all

[safe minnow]

Does Java also enforce mutexes and locks?

Or do they abstract away that

[cyan garnet]

what

I dont know what that is so I am assuming no

[safe minnow]

Ah ok

[safe minnow]

The basic idea is that multiple threads modifying the same thing can lead to undefined behavior, so you want to "lock" it so only one thread at a time can do it

[hallow scroll]

LOCK

deadlock

[safe minnow]

livelock

[cyan garnet]

oh I see

that sounds cool

[hallow scroll]

Distributed lock

[safe minnow]

Yeah it's more of a c/c++ thing

[safe minnow]

ai lock

[hallow scroll]

Cloud lock

[safe minnow]

reader/writer locks

I didn't realize database systems were systems based

[hallow scroll]

Discord team isn’t as infra as I thought it would be it’s more platform

[safe minnow]

[gentle latch]

Why is that sad for you?

[hallow scroll]

Infra.

[gentle latch]

So?

[stable spire]

what position

[hallow scroll]

Platform is still cool

Revenue infra

[stable spire]

i did final this morning now im waiting

[hallow scroll]

[stable spire]

thats rxcky's team

[hallow scroll]

Yea lmao only got the interview cuz he rejected

Second choice

[stable spire]

close world we live in

[devout jewel]

It just behavorial, leetcode tagged, and eli5 just going over a technical term

[midnight sonnet]

What does this mean?

[hallow scroll]

Infra is more like building systems stuff platform is more like extending/monitoring the infra

[midnight sonnet]

I interviewed for a role called Infrastructure platform engineering intern where do I fall?

[hallow scroll]

Also depends tho, at cb I was platform and we monitored a lot how performant wallet was

Probably platform, I’d say platform is like a subset of infra

[midnight sonnet]

I asked them I want to actually code not just be a YAML monkey but I think he was lying

Fuck

[hallow scroll]

Nah you’re good platform teams dabble in a lot

[midnight sonnet]

Would you return to CB Chad mob?

[mossy acorn]

Why do you guys have simp in your names

[hallow scroll]

Yes, high pay and remote. Solid as long as I don’t get laid off

[mossy acorn]

Im trolling, but i rly dont know what that stands for

[midnight sonnet]

Cus we're manifesting getting interviewed and offers from the company we're simping for like for me discord

[hallow scroll]

Simp ❤️

[midnight sonnet]

What languages does CB use? Ruby on rails?

[simple garden]

They use Coq

[robust bridge]

anyone heard back after chewy spark hire?

[hallow scroll]

They use ruby for old backend stuff but mostly everything is go now

Everything is like entirely go they have python for data stuff

[midnight sonnet]

Why you me @low vale @simple garden

[north scroll]

Anyone know if patreon > amazon? I just got oa

[hallow scroll]

Good, was just the hm tho

[safe minnow]

[midnight sonnet]

Yes but I don't like rails

[safe minnow]

[hallow scroll]

Nah it’s actually perfect, works out more with what I’ve done in the past

I think the title is just a bit misleading but the projects he told me they’re doing sound cool

Just have to pass on-site now

Hopefully, apparently it’s more data structures geared

I’ve been on vacation for the last week so I’m rusty lol I’m terrible at dsa

Yeah true

[fresh temple]

Time to LC

[simple garden]

No

[hallow scroll]

Did you accept yet? 👀

[simple garden]

Wait til daily

[hallow scroll]

Congrats

[simple garden]

Congrats @stark willow

[fresh temple]

I thought you took Apple

LMAO

[hallow scroll]

Eh who cares, discord secured 😎

[fresh temple]

Nothing just the double faang renege

[hallow scroll]

Yea some people have

I tried moving my offer but they said no

Frfr

[safe minnow]

[midnight sonnet]

@stark willow discord offer?

[hardy patrol]

patreon oa

how hard is patreon

[north scroll]

^

[safe minnow]

67/hr bag

[hallow scroll]

Same here I live in nc lol

Discord internship pay is higher then my coinbase full time offer 💀

I wish

Maybe, they’re allowing for me to work while in school which is a W

[safe minnow]

Wait wdym

Don’t they pay 200k NG?

[midnight sonnet]

Prolly prorated

[hallow scroll]

Higher then base

And prorated yea

[safe minnow]

Ah ok

How does the vesting work

[hallow scroll]

Coinbase stock to shaky to count as real money

No cliff 1 year

[midnight sonnet]

What's CB base?

[safe minnow]

There’s no buyback?

[hallow scroll]

Actually kinda decent considering how volatile it is you get initial offering so you can just sell immediately

Idk what that is

[hallow scroll]

140

[midnight sonnet]

[safe minnow]

Juster abouta be swimming in that cash

[hallow scroll]

I hope I’m broke

[safe minnow]

Man your entire discord pfp has too much going on in it

[hallow scroll]

💀

[safe minnow]

[sinful locust]

probably not a proper referral, but if they still have good connections with management etc they can probably talk to them personally

[safe minnow]

I just realized why C does so many "argument returns" where they return the result in an argument instead of a normal return 🤯

[fossil shuttle]

Just got rejected from an internship for not knowing the tech stack🤡🤡🤡

[earnest hatch]

Nah, it's better to rescind now so other students can get the spots

[safe minnow]

If the companies nyumat is referring to is Zon that won't happen necessarily, not sure about Apple though

If you're concerned about ethical implications or whatnot then renege apple rn for sure

[earnest hatch]

Renege Amazon too, so @honest spire can get off waitlist

[safe minnow]

Like Zon waitlist is almost definitely not a 1:1 renege = waitlist acceptance

[hearty river]

[safe minnow]

But yeah you're probably safe from rescinds

[proud crag]

@bleak plover

[midnight sonnet]

another day and no discord oa

:pain:

[pure marsh]

is it better to schedule interviews ASAP or does it not matter?

[midnight fable]

Asap, always

[pure marsh]

thank you!

[safe minnow]

Which one

Also how was it only 30 minutes

[sinful locust]

bro did lc hard in 30 mins 😭😭

[safe minnow]

Was it only supposed to last 20

Or did you finish early

Aight it’s a wrap

Tanz @ Citadel

[sinful locust]

1.3k dislikes on that lc hard

lmao

[midnight sonnet]

tanz how was cita

what q?

did anyone hear back from mercury for summer btw?

[median hedge]

if you think about it the internship hunt is just like fortnite we are all trying to hotdrop and get a legendary off rip but reality is it we have to start at green ar and work our way up using our building skills (leetcode, bfs) and as the game goes on the storm gets closer (recession, hc) but at the same time you get stronger you learn more things (amazon LPs) going for victory royale umbrellas

[cyan garnet]

bro explained in fortnite terms

[versed kestrel]

no

your school carried

[safe minnow]

The issue might be in the 3 hour behavioral sessions

Wait did they not get the first one

Hard to say tbh, it might be worth updating your resume and reapplying again in 6 months if this one doesn’t pan out

If you see what I mean

Nah I have a strong ass feeling campus recruiting is a useless noreply email

In general

Do you have a new recruiter assigned to you

Yeah you can email them right

And get the resume updated

Yeah and seeing how late they’re open I don’t see how they wouldn’t be open by next September

Imo

[runic wing]

is it normal for a company to ghost after making it to final interview

[loud schooner]

@runic wing it's normal

Email your recruiter as soon as you feel you are ghosted

[reef night]

ayo lmao

[runic wing]

Emailed a week ago, also got ghosted on that

[loud schooner]

When was ur final? If it's more than 2 weeks ago and no response then most likely a reject

[runic wing]

Yeah like 2 weeks at this point

[small lion]

anyone have advice on how i can cold-email amazon recruiters to get a response? i've been on the waitlist for months, and i'm worried they'll be full with how many offers they have given in the past few weeks

[safe minnow]

GPT-4 currently has a cap of 100 messages every 4 hours

Holy fuck this does one word per second

It's so slow

[small lion]

ok. i've tried, but none have responded rip

no, i'll wait a week until i follow-up, but i'm not confident they'll respond

yeah that makes sense. i'll give it a try, thanks!

[safe minnow]

Linkedin pfp diff

[steel moon]

what am I supposed to answer...

[safe minnow]

I think no?

I'm assuming the question is like every other question involving that and it's asking if you're a citizen of one of those countries

But they could also be bamboozling you and asking are you not a citizen of the mentioned countries

[steel moon]

yeah I read the whole thing and didnt find a question

usually its to ask if youre a citizen of those countries

[safe minnow]

Yeah they omitted the question

💀

[steel moon]

not me

[safe minnow]

Just get someone to pretend to be you

No cats

[hardy patrol]

@gilded crag hey how hard was the patreon OA

im studying for it right now

[trail crown]

has anyone gone through the Discord virtual onsite

curious how it is

[hallow scroll]

Depends on team

[safe minnow]

[gilded crag]

not too bad, lc mediums + an sql question

[oak drift]

Fuck, sql?

[hardy patrol]

thanks bud hope your final goes good

[safe minnow]

Yeah my friend who got it last year is a QR intern this year

[gilded crag]

thanks good luck with the process urself

[hardy patrol]

2 lc meds and a sql doesnt sound bad

[trail crown]

I'm going through the virtual onsite for product engineering design systems

[earnest hatch]

When do you find out if you got offer?

[oak drift]

Did u get discord?

[gilded crag]

yeah and i was missing a few test cases for 1 of the lc questions but i guess it was alright lol

lmk how it goes for u

[hardy patrol]

same for you champ

[oak drift]

Does patreon do fall?

[safe minnow]

Imo attending JS > attending IMC, but I still think having someone pretend to be you is the move if you get both

[gilded crag]

recruiter said no fall unfortunately

[hallow scroll]

Idk I haven’t done on-site yet

[hallow scroll]

Still interviewing

[trail crown]

@hallow scroll which position did u apply to

[safe minnow]

Exactly

[hallow scroll]

Revenue infra

[trail crown]

gotcha

did u get a take home project?

[earnest hatch]

Tell them NFTs will bring in a lot of revenue, you got the Coinbase experience

[hallow scroll]

Yea

[hallow scroll]

Discord nft

[safe minnow]

My strengths: I will boost discord's profits by 3x by running NFT scams and forgetting to ban them on time

[pure marsh]

if they say "Please let us know if you have any approaching deadlines", does telling them I do affect the decision in any way?

[hallow scroll]

My strengths: I’m mommy’s little maid kitty

[safe minnow]

[atomic orbit]

i passed the technical video screen, moving to on-site virtual now. what team did you interview with? i've been given the options of Android Platform (Mobile) and Data Infrastructure & Engineering (Backend)

[somber solstice]

idk sql

maybe i should do som lc for it

[gilded crag]

if ur looking for practice this is clutch https://www.sql-practice.com/

[somber solstice]

aight gg

[devout jewel]

Some internal tooling team

[atomic orbit]

gotcha

you said you got a leetcode tagged problem for the technical interview?

[devout jewel]

yea

[trail crown]

gotcha

design systems

nice

there wasn't a leetcode question?

thank you lmao

gotcha

that's reassuring

I haven't done leetcode in so long and I was praying the 1 hour coding session would be something front-end related

[safe minnow]

why is this server hell

Yes this happens to every active

Lifecycle of an active:
Ask about companies -> get sucked into the convos -> become jaded and start shitposting -> go back to lurking

[sinful locust]

CHANGE UR NICKNAME

NOT MAYBE G

UR LINKEDIN/GOOGLE/MICROSOFT!!!

[flint moon]

is it only for me or do you guys also feel in this season is kinda hard to even get an interview with a company?

I applied to 111 intern positions and got reply only from Citadel and Apple lol

others are just ghosting

[safe minnow]

Citadel

[flint moon]

it's just OA tho

[safe minnow]

Oh that's auto

[flint moon]

yeah

[safe minnow]

Hope next year will be better with my first internship

Yeah I'm hoping for this

[flint moon]

yeah, last year I was getting way more response with no intern experience in my resume, but now even with a past internship exp it's hard

[safe minnow]

Name value more than exp

School name is huge for first internship esp

Yeah

Any of the t20/ivies should work very well I think

Soph

Yeah fs

Junior year is where we shine

Did you put down non junior grad date before

Or did you put down junior grad date as a frosh/soph

Ah ok

[lucid seal]

What are some signs that I passed the final HM interview about culture fit and behaviour

[somber solstice]

receiving an offer

[safe minnow]

:sus

[lucid seal]

how to know if i passed before that though

[safe minnow]

swe, isn't swe known to have the best wlb out of the 3 anyways

Maybe I'm just talking out of my ass and they have to be oncall or something

Does your friend have prev swe internships? They might force your friend into the QT path if not so

[earnest hatch]

You can't really know until you get the offer, someone else could have performed just as good as you and have the skills/experience they're looking for, there's a lot of different factors. The important thing is to keep applying and interviewing until you get an offer.

[safe minnow]

But yeah in general swe should have the best wlb I believe

Yeah then swe may not be an open path for them

JS QT wlb seems to be ok too

[viral copper]

Completed a technical interview with a company the other day. Explained the correct way to solve the problem but did not have much time to implement the problem. The interviewer asked me to complete the problem after the interview and email the solution directly to him. Would you guys say it is a good sign? Never happened to me before

[earnest hatch]

It's a good sign, but doesn't necessarily mean you're getting an offer

Keep doing other interviews/applying

[viral copper]

Thanks, yeah it’s the first phone, should have a final after this so we’ll see

Also wondering if anyone could help w this. I got a technical phone coming up for an iOS engineering intern at apple. Would it be okay for me to ask to solve problems in Java? I know Swift but never solved leetcode qs with it so idk how to go

[fresh temple]

They are not gonna ask you LC in swift, but they may ask you LC or none at all

Apple interviews vary by team so be prepared for anything

[viral copper]

Gotchu, that’s reassuring. My recruiter sent me a coderpad link for the interview so I’m assuming LC might be there

[stable spire]

@hallow scroll what stage are u in for disc rev infra

theyre stack ranking ppl

[hallow scroll]

just did hm

yea stack ranking was expected with only 1 spot lol

[stable spire]

got email day after final said interviews went well but HM needs to make a decision after few more interviews

[hallow scroll]

youre design system right?

[stable spire]

yea

[hallow scroll]

hm

I know someone in here that just signed for that team

I wonder if its maybe a different subteam or something? no clue

[stable spire]

fr? then they would outright rj me then

[hallow scroll]

yea thats what im confused abt i think he signed last week, so why interview you this week

maybe different HM or something or I mightve misremembered what team it was

[stable spire]

is it a diff team? ; i dont see any reason why they would stall it out then

[simple garden]

If you got phone before the other person got offer they would still let you do phone

and then make decision on reject or not

[stable spire]

except i passed recruiter then HM then scheduled onsite and shit taking like a month+

[hallow scroll]

yea the process is kinda long lmao

[simple garden]

Damn

[hallow scroll]

im not holding out hope im rusty af with interviewing ☹️

[stable spire]

naw @hallow scroll he interviewed diff team

[hallow scroll]

oh W

[stable spire]

chat systems instead of like react

[somber solstice]

wtf is stack ranking

[sinful locust]

yo folks. i had 3 midterms last week and forgot about one of my job offer's expiration date. i ended up signing and returning the offer two business day after it expired. is this a big problem? i contacted the recruiter but didn't get a reply.

[crisp berry]

discord said resume screen everyone by mid march right?

it is now mid march

[earnest hatch]

They just launched the app last Friday, I wouldn't be concerned about not getting OA yet

[midnight sonnet]

i'm getting desp man

this is not good

fuck

why am i such a loser

i want a few more and different environments

[hallow scroll]

Well yeah I had to interview to get the internship

[earnest hatch]

Coinbase is just starting to send OA, they don't send them to everyone at once

I remember other people in this chat being anxious about not getting it at the same times as others, they still ended up getting it later on

[midnight sonnet]

i meant why u have to interview again for summer/fall?

need to skill up ngl

[hallow scroll]

I interviewed for fall and interned in fall

[midnight sonnet]

oh wait i didnt' read that correctly i thought u meant u interviewed again for this summer/fall but u meant fall 22

need to stop trying in school and focus on the lc grind honestly not getting much outta my classses

[fierce token]

I don’t think you can get the OA yet, I asked my recruiter for a friend

And he said resumes haven’t been reviewed yet

Actually nvm I guess full send is right

like interview everyone

and then decide

i think

[south oak]

Does anyone know how hard the chewy OA is

I applied a long ass time ago and now they got back to me lmao

[pure marsh]

[hardy patrol]

when should you use bfs or dfs for a matrix problem like i need to find a valid path between [0][0] and [n-1][n-1]

[midnight sonnet]

[midnight sonnet]

In this case prolly BFS

[fresh temple]

BFS guarantees shortest path

DFS does not

usually the two can be used interchangeably in most 2d matrix problems

[hardy patrol]

damn really i thought itd be dfs since im trying to find a deep edge

ic
