💀

[broken meadow]

weeding out what kind of ppl?

[safe minnow]

People in general

[broken meadow]

sure weeds out ppl who cant stand for bullshit

[safe minnow]

I guess

But what if you really want an internship no matter what

[broken meadow]

then ur desperate which has correlation to not being desirable

which is me

[sinful locust]

handshake got the sleeper internships

[safe minnow]

Radix river trading

Does jeff bezos make more than that

[spark hearth]

[granite fulcrum]

has anyone done two internships at once...how much would u work

[snow needle]

thats what i did

   int closedIsland(vector<vector<int>>& g) {
        int ans{}, n = g.size(), m = g[0].size();

        function <int (int, int)> search = [&](int i, int j) -> bool {
            if (i < 0 or j < 0 or i >= n or j >= m or g[i][j])
                return 0;
            return ((g[i][j] = 1) + search(i + 1, j) + search(i - 1, j) 
            + search(i, j + 1) + search(i, j - 1)) > 0;
        };

        for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
            for (int j = 0; j < m; ++j)
                if (!i or !j or i == n - 1 or j == m - 1)
                    search(i, j);
        for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
            for (int j = 0; j < m; ++j)
                ans += search(i, j);
        return ans;
  }

but c++

[hollow quarry]

Nice solution!

Can you explain this part pls!

    for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
        for (int j = 0; j < m; ++j)
            if (!i or !j or i == n - 1 or j == m - 1)
                search(i, j);

Multiple hours looking at different Reddit threads and asking Waterloo’s US employment specialists lol

I’m very sure about it

[brazen lantern]

[granite fulcrum]

doing two summer internships (both remote) arent bad right

[hardy patrol]

anybody still hiring skull emoji

i want a better offer

[wide comet]

i dont have any offers, anybody has any tips?

[mellow thistle]

lmfao imagine

[spark hearth]

doing two summer internships (both remote) arent bad right

@everyone

[short silo]

if they overlap it might look dodgy on your cv

[spark hearth]

is doing 2 full time internships bad in summer

[fresh temple]

Bad in what sense

You won’t get return offer prolly

If you get caught L

Good for money

Good for resume value if you can push the dates

[spark hearth]

it will show up in background check right?

[fresh temple]

For next company? Maybe

Just list two internships with non overlapping

Do like May to July and July to sep or some shut

this may seem odd

Hello, I am looking for some friends who also study computer science. I also need to get at least 100 followers in Instagram to not seem weird 😎

[fresh temple]

Some companies don’t verify employment

Or simply leave one off the resume

[fresh temple]

Are you soph? Junior?

Could renege

[spark hearth]

idk what i am

im @uneven sand

[dense tinsel]

imagine being freshmen

ew!

soph 🔥

generally as a freshmen ur cringe but as a soph u become less cringe, juniors become cool and slightly mature at least

[trail crown]

[dense tinsel]

do u mean hs freshmen or college freshmen btw

college freshmen are prob less cringe

than highschoolers

[trail crown]

college freshman lmao

[dense tinsel]

alr

im hs soph so that makes me cringe

!!

[trail crown]

[dense tinsel]

ask ppl here if im cringe

[fresh temple]

Get the FUCK off this server

[dense tinsel]

ok but like i applied to internship this summer

so its cscarers

[trail crown]

I remember first coding in my junior year hs

good times

[dense tinsel]

when i was 8 or 9 my mom bought a C++ book but i co uldnt understand any of it

so i gave up, then i tried at 11, gave u pagain

at 12 i finally kinda started

no

cscareers

internship advice is 100% relevant for me now

even if it wasnt necessarily last year

[obtuse timber]

When I was in hs I was playing league all day and giving 0 thought to a career, now these kids are already getting internships 😭

[trail crown]

I did a coding bootcamp in hs lmao

my hs was weird af

[dense tinsel]

this break ive only done 2 things

grind ap calc bc, watch naruto

no coding until summer prob

or, until after APs

[dense tinsel]

ye world is changing

internships younger and younger

seen pl get them at 13

@obtuse timber realistically i wont get much internships in HS bc i wanna do ml/ai

which is more long term y k

if i was to focus on web dev i could prob get really good at it before college given how much free time i have in summer

but nah, that shit boring

and i dont wanna live a boring life

[trail crown]

web dev isn't boring

[obtuse timber]

Is that even legal? Lmfao

At least here you can't work full time until you're 16

[dense tinsel]

yeah

it was internship and he got paid and etc.

tech interviews, the whole ordeal

why are all top cf masters have these weird pfps

HIGHSCHOOLER????????

[loud schooner]

Not too surprised for me

[somber solstice]

@dense tinsel competitive programming is huge in china

[dense tinsel]

oh

my school is rlly sweaty but not big on it

nearby school has a freshmen whos usaco plat tho i think

[somber solstice]

there are probably elemantry schoolers/jr high kids in China that are usaco plat level

china sweaty

gaokao

[dense tinsel]

no way theres elementary usaco plat level kids

[somber solstice]

my fault

PRESCHOOL

[dense tinsel]

my mom was tryna sign me up for like some usaco class in 5th grade but i didnt even know coding back then

[somber solstice]

[dense tinsel]

bronze -> gold in a year is very doable

[neon skiff]

with a population so large, even say the top 5% is a huge number of actual people

[dense tinsel]

true

[broken meadow]

mans in highschool

[dense tinsel]

ye

soph

its like that naruto scene where iruka (u guys) is like

"oh no no naruto's too young for the chunin test"

and kakashi (me) is like "i became a chunin 6 years younger than naruto's current age"

[obtuse timber]

Yeah thats exactly what it's like you got it

[dense tinsel]

im jk lol

nah fr tho like ill be lucky if i get the internship i applied to

given its rlly competitive

if i dont get it its fine

true

when i applied they asked me what i wanted to do

and i said projects > research lmao

💀

[dawn patio]

If someone knows.. how many time should wait after the hiring manager interview...They did not reply to my email, and it has been a week....

[fresh temple]

Nothing you can do bro just wait

It’s company dependent

[obtuse timber]

If you email them they will just tell you to wait lol

[dawn patio]

yeah, to wait...

[somber solstice]

ngl, i feel like a lot of elementary school teachers go into it because of some personal issues...

like they have control issues + feel like they need to be smarter

some are amazing tho too

[safe minnow]

[still peak]

I feel you men. You are stressed and then when you are done instead of celebrating you don't know what to do with the free time that wasn't available before

[dense tinsel]

WHAT

hes in uni?

wtf

wow-

[spring mural]

middle school yes elementary is probably going too far

[dense tinsel]

yeah elementary is too far

no ones THAT good

even middle school seems not that plausible

are there rlly ppl that smart?

[spring mural]

yeah

[dense tinsel]

bruh

[spring mural]

they also don't spend time on cs discords lmao

[dense tinsel]

if i start comp prog this summer itll be pretty late

[dense tinsel]

bruh

[spring mural]

ur not late if ur in hs

ur still early

[safe minnow]

🤔

A decent chunk of us didn’t start programming until college

Ehh

[still peak]

they spend time in forums where they have to write markdown

[safe minnow]

Not impossible

Just highly abnormal

It’s a 99 percentile outcome

Maybe more extreme than that

[dense tinsel]

tourist lmao

gennady korotkevich moment

yeah

but hes a special case

[still peak]

[dense tinsel]

theres probably a very poor kid whos smarter than tao

[safe minnow]

Yeah 8 ears old iirc

[dense tinsel]

i have 10 family members in CS

but my direct parents arent

[safe minnow]

Wasn’t 10 when he got gold

And he started at 8

[dense tinsel]

my mom asked my cousin who works at goog how i should be optimizing my HS

and he told her to relax lmaooo

[safe minnow]

Oh oops

[obtuse timber]

love to see some edinburgh uni representation

[short silo]

are you an edinburger

[obtuse timber]

that's me!!

im a stirlinger but study in edinburgh

[short silo]

ah

[dense tinsel]

wtf

no no no

ai gf never replaces a real human

ik im an edater so i have 0 opinion on anything in this universe but still ... dont stoop that low

[fresh temple]

first off I was just messing but if technology gets to the point where it is not differentiable to have a robot gf vs human gf

why would anyone pick the human gf

besides "oh it's because she's real"

literally indifferentiable

[safe minnow]

🤔

[fresh temple]

like... the robot can be everything you want bro

[dense tinsel]

BECAUSE SHES NOT A HUMAN

I DONT CARE

[fresh temple]

hijack ur brain

[dense tinsel]

THE INTIMATE BOND BETWEEN 2 HUMANS IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE TAKEN AWAY

[fresh temple]

make urself forget she's not real

boom happy

horikita moment

[fresh temple]

our brains

are literally just neurons

[obtuse timber]

yes it can, im working on it rn

[dense tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/pizza-codegeass-cc-gif-7752834

[fresh temple]

neurons are just an encoding of data

eventually computers will be able to simulate and surpass that encoding

we are just flesh computers

[simple garden]

hes beyond saving

[safe minnow]

We are highly optimized for power compsimptjon

[fresh temple]

true but computing power weak

we'll just harvest dark matter to power ai gfs

all good

[dense tinsel]

bro what

[fresh temple]

I’m saying by the time computation actually becomes expensive I’m sure science will have figured out a way to harness energy from dark matter

Also on the topic of real vs fake at some point we’ll be able to create realistic enough simulations that there’s no point in living irl

💀

[dense tinsel]

dw about it

quarter ended

but uh

71.36%

yeah true

but bc our school's grading is funky it shows up as a b

[obtuse timber]

is that bad? what grade is 71% in the us

[dense tinsel]

saved!

[safe minnow]

C-

[obtuse timber]

damn bruh

[safe minnow]

Yeah if you get that low I believe it auto DQs you from t5

[dense tinsel]

as long as I get a b next quarter

this quarter's grade will like

be turned into a B

that's how our county's grading works

😈

[obtuse timber]

what percent is an A then?

[dense tinsel]

89.5

for each semester they take the higher grade as the overall grade, but not too extremely

[safe minnow]

I forgot some HS had that principle

[dense tinsel]

examples:

A + B = A
B + A = A
B + C = B
A + C = B

[safe minnow]

Rounding grades 💀

[obtuse timber]

u guys must have some wack ass exams hahah

[dense tinsel]

yes theyre really difficult

my teacher's this russian lady

who is super tough

[obtuse timber]

70% is an A in the uk and is very hard to get, American unis treat a 70% in a UK degree as equal to a 4.0 gpa

[dense tinsel]

bruh

u sound like mymom

[obtuse timber]

80%+ means your paper is good enough to be published

[dense tinsel]

😭

oh also in our district if u get below a 50% on something u get a 50

even if u dont do the assignment

[obtuse timber]

50-59 is a C

[dense tinsel]

ive been focusing on schoolwork really hard these past few months

[safe minnow]

Tbf that’s a intelligent policy

[dense tinsel]

extra problems, tutorings, etc.

put aside coding

but i still do bad

so at this point im just dumb

[safe minnow]

If a student gets a 0 then sometimes they give up

[dense tinsel]

yeah dw i only have Bs

in

some stuff

[safe minnow]

Yeah math grades are important for a CS app

Bs in core subject like math still harms your app

[dense tinsel]

IM TRYING

LIKE IM DEADASS TRYING A LOT HARDER THAN MY FRIENDS

[obtuse timber]

[dense tinsel]

BUT THEY STILL DO WAY BETTER

IM SPENDING THOUASNDS ON TUTORING PER MONTH FOR THIS SHIT

AND IT AINT WORKING BC IM DUMB I THINK??

MY MOM PAID THEM 20K TO IMPROVE MY GRADES AND IM STILL SO DUMB

[obtuse timber]

bro spending thousands and still sucks 😭

[dense tinsel]

dude

maybe ur just smart or smth

but its rlly hard for me

[safe minnow]

Time to pivot into history major

[obtuse timber]

what parts of calc is even covered in hs for u?

I mean the maths in uni is quite a lot harder than hs

[safe minnow]

We had BC calc + MV

[dense tinsel]

yeah

related rates is useless

i got a 55 on that test

[safe minnow]

Eh

It's common sense tbh

[dense tinsel]

wait no related rates was one of the easier topics

i got a 55 on integration test

[safe minnow]

💀

[obtuse timber]

Think you need to change your study methods if you're doing really bad in hs level classes

[safe minnow]

Integration is super foundational

It's just derivatives in reverse

[dense tinsel]

bro im trying

im watching videos, taking extra notes, and doing more practice problems

[safe minnow]

💀

[simple garden]

💀

I think benq is similar

[dense tinsel]

mit

cit is rlly hard right

[simple garden]

zon last year

[dense tinsel]

yeah

[simple garden]

ah

i wonder if he'll take another year for masters

[dense tinsel]

what does roping mean

[obtuse timber]

I mean I think it's a bit silly to shit on people for not going to turbo hft quant supertrading investment firms just cause they went to a good school

MS still pays a lot more than the average cambridge grad will be getting

[fresh temple]

Use brain

[fresh temple]

No chaewon is just delulu

Zon is rope tho

[safe minnow]

[fresh temple]

True

What if web dev is my passion

[obtuse timber]

bro Eton and Cambridge do not cost a million dollars

[dense tinsel]

rift is kinda right here tbh

50k a year

[safe minnow]

💀

[dense tinsel]

my mom said she wouldve sent me if i was less lazy

💀

[safe minnow]

Do they have scholarships or is it full pay for everyone

[fresh temple]

Fin aid

It’s like colleges p much

[safe minnow]

Oh

[obtuse timber]

and yet the bro at amazon is still probably making what, 4x the average salary right after grad? And cambridge ms guy will be making 2-3x

[safe minnow]

[obtuse timber]

being rich doesn't mean you're smart enough to get into the crazy companies lol

[safe minnow]

🤔

[dense tinsel]

same

but my public school outperforms a lot of private schools simply because the area im in

and the culture

[safe minnow]

How much have your parents paid on tutoring this year

[dense tinsel]

im too afraid to search up what rope is can someone dm it to me

[dense tinsel]

calendar year they paid 20k i believe

ohh

ok

thx @prisma birch

[short silo]

yh people on this server have a really different attitude to anyone i know irl, including the kinds of ppl who went to those schools/unis, i think it's partly a US culture diff but also just the kind of person who self-selects into online cs communities

[obtuse timber]

those rich kids will be getting money from their parents lmao

[obtuse timber]

yeah people in this server are pretty out of touch with reality, calling microsoft and amazon average is just wild

[dense tinsel]

yeah but that wont be a satisfying life

if u dont contribute to society what point is there to ur life? just wasting resources spent on u and not helping anyone out

must be a sad existence

[obtuse timber]

You are a high school student failing Calculus bro

[short silo]

avg person in this server is definitely less happy than the avg person in society

[obtuse timber]

You're not contributing to society lol

[obtuse timber]

Yea

[dense tinsel]

for the whole year

[safe minnow]

How much of an advantage is being middle class born in America

[obtuse timber]

You realise not everyone wants to spend all their time studying and prepping to earn 400k when they could earn 200k instead with less effort?

[icy raptor]

this calendar year is only 3 months so far

[fresh temple]

Nah hedonic treadmill it’s all relative

[obtuse timber]

It's so wild that people here expect everyone to be as anal about their career, people have lives

[dense tinsel]

im trying to

i mean ok right now i take more out of society than i give back

but once i start working i wont

[safe minnow]

💀

[dense tinsel]

bruh

[fresh temple]

Average if you actually put time into getting a good paying job, obviously the comp there is still absurd compared to 99% of general pop

[safe minnow]

The minority of us offset the rest so it's a net positive

[dense tinsel]

stablizies market rihgt?

provides liquidity

HRT's website really appeals to me

ill prob never be good enough to work there tho

[safe minnow]

One of the few times abbreviating HRT is a mistake

[dense tinsel]

LMAOOOO

[obtuse timber]

they're not average unless you cherry pick a small subset of cs majors who are super motivated

which is what this server is by the way

[fresh temple]

Hence the statement average

In context of the server

[dense tinsel]

i think the better way to frame this question is honestly like

how does this affect Lebron's legacy?

[obtuse timber]

ok but having money doesn't mean you're smart or motivated

you realise they probably have millions of dollars in inheritance why would they put so much time into getting good enough for a 400k job over a 200k job when that's a tiny difference compared to what they have

[dense tinsel]

everyone's goal should be to contribute to society

[fresh temple]

You won’t be a wagie even if you make $0 tho

If you have trust fund billions

[dense tinsel]

and work -> that goal

[fresh temple]

You can literally do whatever the fuck you eant

[obtuse timber]

everyone's goal should be to do what makes them happy

[fresh temple]

Also what if your daddy is bezos

Are you failure if you can’t match his TC

[obtuse timber]

if that's working your ass off to contribute then great. if that's making 30k as a painter or some shit then great.

[dense tinsel]

becuz doesnt everyone want to make the world a better place?

even if its very small things

[fresh temple]

No. 😎

[dense tinsel]

idk i mean human innovation and better human condition is bc people wanted to make everyone else's life better

isnt that a good goal for everyone? that can come from being with friends or family

but just having rich af parents and not using that to better society is a bit wasteful, no?

then at that point they shouldve donated that money to a charity

[safe minnow]

[dense tinsel]

instead of spending it on u who has no ROI

if i had 1 billion dollars, im not giving my kids jackshit lol bc the ROI isnt guaranteed

im donating 999 million to a charity to fight hunger

yeah

ik it doesnt sound believable but i genuinely want to use AI to make a better world

and progress society

[obtuse timber]

uh oh

[dense tinsel]

becuz even if it brings glory to myself, ill die in 80 years anyway

and my life wont mean much in the grand scheme of things

but if i at least help society before going out

ill feel better

no

ill die peacefully knowing i contributed to society

[obtuse timber]

the fact that there are so many billionairss in the world and none of them have done this already is enough proof that not everyone wants to make the world a better place at their own expense

[dense tinsel]

if i was to do it for my own gain, what of it? ill die and return to dust

[upbeat cradle]

U may need to get good at math for actual ml

[dense tinsel]

billionaires often become rich by exploiting people

so they obviously arent good satndards

[dense tinsel]

im trying

no bc its not in the interest of society to end human life

for no reason

i don't know but probably since they keep slashing valuation

[loud schooner]

I know stripe is overvalued

[fresh temple]

also you don't have liquidation opportunities much

[safe minnow]

stripe comp is diff

[fresh temple]

@safe minnow look at stripe comp it's similar

all paper tho

[loud schooner]

Stripe founders dont sound like they will ipo soon

[safe minnow]

But it's backed by monetary value and not vulnerable to go up and down as much right?

[loud schooner]

At least I'm pretty sure they wont ipo in a high interest environment

[fresh temple]

it's backed by hopium

there's not that much upside at this point

[safe minnow]

No like you're not given a fixed amount of stock

[fresh temple]

it's already grown to like what

50 billion?

oh idk about the comp

[safe minnow]

You're given a monetary value behind that stock iirc

[fresh temple]

ah ic

that's good

[safe minnow]

So $100 of stock is still $100 even if it goes to 0

[loud schooner]

Ye but how long will this economy last?

That means they won't ipo in another 10 years

LoL

gg

[safe minnow]

If I go tech I want a good wlb tech

For bricks?

Ah

[loud schooner]

Stripe vs Square, which is better stock wise?

[safe minnow]

💀

[loud schooner]

Reason?

Cash App is huge

Hmmm

Bro 😭

Actually wall street called their bull shit and square stock bounced back

Plot twist: I'm incoming intern at SQ

[sinful locust]

[loud schooner]

Bro u supposed to agree with me 😭

Anyhow, I'm gonna just farm at SQ then jerk off to somewhere else

Cash App + Square + Afterpay

Idrc about Square, but I'm bullish about CashApp and Afterpay tho

Who knows the stock will surge if people know I'm interning there

Butterfly effect 🦋

But tbf, that stock is like crypto lmao

[sinful locust]

anyone ever had a job app request their SSN

[loud schooner]

What do you think realistically stripe max market cap would be after ipo?

imo they cant cross 200b cuz their profit margin is too small, it is like 0.5%

Unless they diversify into another stream of profit

They are still all into online payment processing afaik

I dont think equityzen is a good measure, secondary market is mostly hype investing

This is true

I'm more concerned about whether its gonna grow or not

Online payment processing is cutthroat business

Stripe competitors have many diversified income already

I thought its PayPal Braintree?

Braintree is bigger than Adyen no?

Ok

Ok ok

What do you think about Square?

[sinful locust]

Stripe is number 1

[loud schooner]

The payment unit or cash app?

[sinful locust]

Wdym it’s a big tech

Oh

[loud schooner]

I'm still debating whether to do Stripe or Square NG or not

Prolly Stripe then

[sinful locust]

Stripe

Isn’t the stripe offer higher

[loud schooner]

Square is more chill and I can coast while working on my own stuff

[sinful locust]

If u want chill then work at capital one

[spark hearth]

whats the pay

[loud schooner]

I'm in Canada so it doesn't apply to u ig

SQ and stripe are the only big fintech that have offices in Canada so yeah

[sinful locust]

That could be an idea tho, work at a chill company so u have time to work on ur side business

[spark hearth]

stop mr stripe

[loud schooner]

Pretty sure stripe TC is higher but most of it is paper money

Square is liquid and its stock is a growth stock

[sinful locust]

Paper money as in fake money?

[spark hearth]

whats the TC

[spark hearth]

yes

reverie

[sinful locust]

What’s a double trigger

Oh

Yeah

But if u stay long enuf

[fresh temple]

indicate a range of 30-40

[sinful locust]

😏

[tough bear]

id 100% pick square over stripe to work for lol

[sinful locust]

Radix

Nah onlyfans is the American dream

U make more money on OF

What about onlyfans

[loud schooner]

lol what? Reason?

[tough bear]

stripe workers reviews of the company are terrible

if its a big tech company i wouldnt want to work at a sweatshop w/ bad culture, def a smaller unicorn if i wanted to grind

yeah but that applies uniformly

then every company would have ppl that have poor things to say

every1 loves figma, etc

i think directly from ppl that work there is the best info to make a decision

the company has 1000 reviews

its not some small subset

thats a significant percentage of the workers there lmao

[broken meadow]

do your best to gauge the vibe delta btwn you and blind

read blind opinion

adjust accordingly

[tough bear]

idk i think thats giving reviewers too much credit

i think its just rated off 5 dimensions

within the context of career growth and learning for sure u would never but i think ppl rate amazon wlb/culture/management low enough that makes the comparison somewhat competitive

but again that applies uniformly

theres enough samples for many companies with extremely positive reviews

[sinful locust]

The play is work at capital one and start your own business

[tough bear]

also

i wasnt even originally talking about reviews

just peoples opinions

how can you do that if you havent worked there?

[sinful locust]

Give me your points and I’ll decide objectively who is correct

What's the name of that website that y'all use to study OS?

It's been mentioned here multiple times

[tough bear]

those are the experiences im talking about though, its not just looking at a poor review, its people saying its super easy to get on pip, deaf leadership, massive churn, etc that contributes to poor culture

i dont think people just say a company has bad culture cause they have to work hard?

its usually always supported

[sinful locust]

Oh is it OSTEP?

[loud schooner]

I think we can all agree comparing stripe vs square is not the same as comparing stripe vs Capital one or walmart lol

[tough bear]

im confused by what ur metrics are in tiers

[loud schooner]

Prestige and pay wise stripe is top tech yeah

[tough bear]

youd prob learn more at stripe but pay isnt that incomparable at non new grad levels

imo stripe is just another big tech at this point

it used to be revered as the growth place unicorn but 8k employees you're prob not finding those anecdotes that common anymore

i mean u brought up the l4 promo in 7 months

[sinful locust]

It used to be reveried

[loud schooner]

If I join stripe now, will my stock options amount to anything meaningful?

[sinful locust]

Ask @loud schooner

About the NG pay

Their intern pay is ass

I don’t mind him closing me

I thought stripe had the highest NG pay

In tech

[tough bear]

atleast for sde1+

[midnight sonnet]

300k return offer??

The fuck???

[sinful locust]

Yeah

[midnight sonnet]

Literally how

[sinful locust]

They had the highest NG pay

[midnight sonnet]

Whats the bread down

Base vs stocks

[sinful locust]

🍞

[astral dew]

Yeah they dropped the bag for returns

[sinful locust]

Here’s ur bread

What is fy

Oh

I just call it NG

[midnight sonnet]

God damn tf am I doing with my life

Isn't stripe dead also?

[sinful locust]

Fr????

[midnight sonnet]

Like going down bad

[tough bear]

also i dont even remember the original q and i dont think it matters cause i dont think they r hiring anymore

[sinful locust]

I thought google is like 180k

[tough bear]

comparison doesnt rlly make sense other than a hypothetical

altho i think if it was canada stripe is for sure better

[loud schooner]

lol what

[midnight sonnet]

Layoffs+ bad eng culture - v toxic

[astral dew]

Stripe just getting started lol. Plus they might IPO this year, MIGHT

[tough bear]

i think that 300k is funny money cause it was at a 100b valuation

[sinful locust]

Nahhhh

[loud schooner]

Nah I don't see they ipo in another 2-3 years

[tough bear]

arent they selling equity at 50b now?

[midnight sonnet]

Couldn't pass resume screen for summer

They don't?

[astral dew]

Me neither but reports earlier this year was saying that. Things do change, so unlikely. But like even if they don’t, employees keep stacking up stock

[tough bear]

i mean after it vests the valuation still goes down

that helps with annual pay yea

after it vests?

[midnight sonnet]

So basically all I'm hearing is stripe still good?

Wat langs they use at stripe?

[loud schooner]

It's always been good

[midnight sonnet]

Don't say rails I hate that shit

[loud schooner]

S-tier

[loud schooner]

Unfortunately yes

[midnight sonnet]

Bro I fucking hate rails

Like

[tough bear]

i think its been allowed for a bit

[midnight sonnet]

With a passion

[tough bear]

i saw some mf say he sold 2.2mil in stripe shares

[midnight sonnet]

I saw that blind post

This was after tax

God damn

[tough bear]

yeah ur just rich if u joined stripe pre like 2020

[midnight sonnet]

But like stripe never gonna fucking IPO tho

[tough bear]

doesnt rlly matter anymore

if employees can sell

[fresh temple]

clueless fam

the offer letter I have received is from an unpaid no-name nonprofit. In addition, it has an acceptance deadline around the middle of this month.

The other places I am interviewing with are paid and from bigger companies but unsure if I can honestly pass the technical rounds.

I don't want to not accept the nonprofit offer and then not pass the bigger company interviews. Thus have nothing for the summer.

What is the likelihood the bigger companies will skip some of the hiring processes for me ( ideally a technical round)?

average csmajors poster

emphasis on the last line

[tough bear]

Lmao

[loud schooner]

This should be a very early employee

[tough bear]

yeah i mean thats like 4mil in shares at least

[sinful locust]

What’s the next google, I wanna get in as a founder

[fresh temple]

this is series A or seed round

[loud schooner]

Pretty sure if we join now, our stock options wont make us anywhere near millionaire

[tough bear]

if you joined stripe in 2016 they were valued at 9bn, thats 5x on ur equity since then on selling now

doesnt even have to be, they couldve been an ic that joined in like 2016-2017

[fresh temple]

senior

just got in early

[tough bear]

what?

i find that hard to believe

i thought policies u were talking about were annual pay

as in if it goes down or up they adjust for the next year accordingly

not after it vests

it would make no sense to join them if it wasnt the case

[fresh temple]

what mean huh? guy was a senior he said in the blind post

he just got in early

[sinful locust]

Is that your startup

[safe minnow]

[half plinth]

how does this work??

is it cuz no upside

[fresh temple]

Then there’s no incentive for stock

It’s just cash

Lmao

[safe minnow]

That's a good thing for the most part no?

[half plinth]

ye that’s a good thing

esp in this market

[safe minnow]

Yeah people normally pay a premium for less voilatility

[half plinth]

so ur saying that ur guaranteed the money in ur offer and u can be sus and sell on equityzen to make additional $$

oh so it was introduced by the company itself?

it’s not jus a 3rd party thing

[safe minnow]

Stripe is the highest TC ng big tech rn right?

Are they still giving out 300k offers?

[half plinth]

ignoring the second market thing

it’s still pretty good

where

[safe minnow]

Emphasis on big

[fresh temple]

not anymore

stripe probably on par with tip top of other companies

scale, nuro, waymo, roblox, etc

fb gives out 300k

that's a fucking edge case

[half plinth]

they don’t give that anymore lol

[fresh temple]

exactly my point

nobody giving 300k for ng in tech

250k maybe

[loud schooner]

Is netflix higher than stripe?

[fresh temple]

no

[half plinth]

netflix is with nego tho

[fresh temple]

also why make 250k at 1 company when you can make 350k at 2

[half plinth]

netflix standard is like 200k

[fresh temple]

[half plinth]

but it’s all cash

[fresh temple]

stripe? probably like 2 kids got RO

[astral dew]

2 ft jobs is crazy

[fresh temple]

nobody got returns lmao

[fresh temple]

check out overemployed

[loud schooner]

Not that crazy if u r young and hustler

[fresh temple]

doable if dual remote

still like 20 remote first tech cos

[safe minnow]

Won't it be harder to be promoted so you are kinda stuck at entry

[astral dew]

Min 80hr weeks? Sheeesh, dedication ig

[fresh temple]

depends on ur work ethic

[safe minnow]

Or is there more nuance to it

[fresh temple]

nobody working 80 hours for 2 jobs

job isn't 40 hours of code grinding

it's a lot of meetings and burueacracy

[fresh temple]

usually the idea is get to like mid lvl or senior and pick up like 2, 3, 4 jobs and just cruise

[safe minnow]

Yeah

[fresh temple]

increase TC by picking up new job not promotion

[safe minnow]

Well you downgrade levels to coast better

[astral dew]

Right not strictly coding but like I’d assume they’d want like 40 hrs out of u. Plus what happens when boss throw a bunch of things at u?

[fresh temple]

I mean yeah most jobs expect you to do 40 but it's much easier to get away with less at a remote job, long as you do the work required

[astral dew]

This is true

[fresh temple]

ideally it's 2 remote jobs that aren't like zon lvl pressure / expectations, plus diff timezones

then you're bing chilling

[astral dew]

I respect the grind 🫡

[tough bear]

imo upleveling at one job >>

[fresh temple]

nah it's not ideal for entry level

[safe minnow]

OE probably not for me, want to make a startup later and will probably learn less by being overemployed

[fresh temple]

probably better for comp in long run

[fresh temple]

what kind of startup

just software?

[safe minnow]

Not entirely sure, maybe AI edtech

[broken meadow]

I wonder if OE ppl telling their family/SO

[safe minnow]

A year right

[broken meadow]

it's kinda hard to hide from ppl living under same roof

[fresh temple]

probably but the more people you know the more risk it is

[fresh temple]

if ur goated yeah like mr neetcode

[safe minnow]

💀

[broken meadow]

neetcode is sde2 already?

[safe minnow]

snap

[tough bear]

snap pays out the ass man

[fresh temple]

yes he got promoed to l4 in one year

snap has hard interview process

it's pretty selective out of the big techs

[loud schooner]

Who uses Snap?

[broken meadow]

shiet it's already been a year since he got hired

[loud schooner]

I am surprised snap pays that well

[fresh temple]

PAPER MONEY

[safe minnow]

Yeah that was what I was thinking

[fresh temple]

wasn't zon offering 400k

that's real money

[safe minnow]

For swe 2?

[loud schooner]

Is snap used on a geography basis?

[safe minnow]

Tf

[loud schooner]

I know people in toronto dont use snap

[safe minnow]

Bruh

[astral dew]

Snap was like them middle/high school days lmao

Instagram now

[broken meadow]

i feel like a boomer these days

nobody uses facebook anymore so neither do i

but i havent picked up recent social media

[astral dew]

Facebook is fun if u know the right people!

[safe minnow]

Intern or NG

[broken meadow]

i was shocked when I went to a social and ppl were exchanging contacts mainly via instagram

[fresh temple]

intern

[safe minnow]

[fresh temple]

makes sense

numbers are for like friends

wha?

they had a posting

[broken meadow]

that wasnt my angle

i think the demographic doesnt really use phone numbers at all

[fresh temple]

they sure made an intern posting

do you mean 2022 or 2023

[broken meadow]

me and my friend group basically only use phone numbers for ordering food lmao

late 20s/early 30s

[simple garden]

They did

[trail rampart]

Anyone do a coinbase interview recently, need some advice 😦

Is it leetcode style, I'm hearing different things from people

where ...

[hallow scroll]

They changed them recently

[earnest hatch]

Lmk if you want it, I'm selling it for 10% of your Coinbase internship salary

[sinful locust]

snap most useless software atp

[hollow quarry]

Can you also comment how you define dp() and dfs() like what does it return as well? Tysm!

[cold turret]

https://tenor.com/view/no-sully-mmm-james-sullivan-monsters-inc-gif-13902856

[fresh temple]

Holy fuck

Did they rescind or just cance

[ivory ocean]

what are high tc companies that allow wfh still?

that's my target for NG probably

[brazen lantern]

what companies rescinded for summer 2023

[fresh temple]

gusto, nordstrom

akuna

yext

convoy

[midnight sonnet]

akuna really?

god damn

oh shit convoy?

those hoes ghosted my app mid process

[safe minnow]

Akuna wasn't perf related iirc

[midnight sonnet]

why then?

[safe minnow]

Don't fully rememeber

[midnight sonnet]

[loud schooner]

Thought akuna NG was rescinded?

Not intern?

Damn I want Akuna

[midnight sonnet]

@loud schooner wy@ summer arya stark

[loud schooner]

Square

[midnight sonnet]

nice

[loud schooner]

Cash App

[midnight sonnet]

my most embarressing interview was with cashapp

lmao

for last fall

legit wanted to drown myself after kek

never again

[loud schooner]

We win some we lose some

[midnight sonnet]

i just blanked on how to code

legit i was retarded like i forgot how to write a basic if else if and else

with some bit of boolean logic

[loud schooner]

Was that a seperate hiring from Square?

Didnt know Cash App had Fall internship tho

[loud schooner]

Honestly you should just have asked the interviewer, it's called pair programming

[midnight sonnet]

he was an ass

[loud schooner]

Oh shame

[midnight sonnet]

idk i was just freaking out it was a bad week

things compounded

oh well

you live u learn

[loud schooner]

I asked my interviewer straight out when I was stucked

[obtuse timber]

I read on reddit a while back that it's cause they laid people off and couldn't legally fill laid off positions that early

[dense tinsel]

my moms making me write some cold emails to profs for resesarch so how do i write them

im so lost, idk what to write

[scarlet kite]

chatgpt

[fresh temple]

Before cold emailing

Read their papers

Express interest in their work

And then follow up if they respond with can I work in ur lab pretty please

[dense tinsel]

OOH OK

but what if i cant understand it

im nervous bc like

im really bad at ml/ai

so idk how i'd be use anyway

but my friend also thought that yet applied anyway an dlast summer he wrote li ke 3 papers under a prof

so i wanna do that as well

[fresh temple]

Skill issue

Reread until you understand or ask them clarifying questions on what you found confusing

[fresh temple]

You are not doing impactful research you’ll be a lab rat

And maybe you’ll be of some help

[dense tinsel]

bruh

im not??

iw as hoping i could like

help the prof figure out AGI or a new algo

[fresh temple]

What cs background do you have

[dense tinsel]

well uh i just code at home

no formal classes besides ap cs

[fresh temple]

Im@literally about to graduate from college and can say that I’d be pretty useless to a prof doing cutting edge research

Not like I’m stupid either

Profs doing research are studying a very particular niche

So you need to get acquainted with that niche

Just apply to research shit too

But you’ll probably end up not contributing that much yk

[dense tinsel]

aww

i wanna publish a cool paper

thats some groundbreaking stuff, idk if thats possible tho

maybe i could figure smth big out

or formulate a new algo; however idk enough math for that

sad.

aww

bro no way i get PRIMES or RSI

ik about BU Rise

but i applied to my local county's RISE

at least

maybe i can get RSI summer of 24 if i like

get cracked at ml/ai
