Iāve done both in the past yes
I was always able to complete the snowflake OA, but tiktok fucked me up
what do you think about goldman saches and citadel?
Citadel was med
How many problems?
I didnāt do GS, fuck that company 
Idr I think 4? Iām not sure
did you apply for swe or quant intern?
Hmm yeah I feel like even for swe they like math-y qs
"CitadelĀ Software Engineering Campus AssessmentĀ "
So swe I guess
My 2nd med/hard question was related to geometry
Damn do you do codeforces
He did some cfs
What color
But he was bad
I wish I did cf
Yes I was bad
I canāt do div2 C
"Bad"

Since yea Iāve never been able to full solve snowflake
Iām like cyan tho so def not very good
Is snowflake oa difficult?
Thereās binary index tree + dp and combinatorics
Or just math I guess
For me at least
Binary index tree?
I never really understood the hype about the snowflake OA difficulty maybe I just got lucky every time I tried?

Snowflake was like one of 2 OAs I didnāt full solve
I got dp and combinatorics but no BIT
I didnāt get quora oa either so idk about that
Pltr?
Hmm it makes sense that most of the people I know at snowflake are cp chads then
Imc?
Imc was mediums
I prolly wouldnāt be able to pass the on-site anyways 
Chess + stack?
Snowflake on-site is more of the same?
Yes
Chess 
Like I got 7/11 TCs
Yea I just remember it was pretty similar to minimum knight moves on leetcode
Which was just bfs
Well that doesnāt change the problem
Cuz the bishop fucks the implementation
It does
Just have an if statement and donāt go to illegal squares
You can find the squares of a bishop diagonal in constant time
Did u get this variant or not?
Yes
All
Yea you do but itās just an if statement
Just make the bishop diagonal illegal except the bishop itself
Just return
Return what
Yes
Base -2 thing
core dev?
Was it just low level qs?
But itās definitely passable if youāre familiar with c
Yea kinda
Iāve used more C than anything else at uni at this point 
Instabase


What technique
centroid decomposition
All Iām hoping for is cit to let my gpa squeeze by 
do you have 3.5
No 
š
well just use the age old trick
get competing offer from some other firm then cold email them saying you have competing offer
it was like
getting all length of all paths from every node
or smth
thats what i remember
but maybe im wrong
Couldn't u compute the size of subtrees with a post order traversal?
Or am I tripping
What about codesignals?
like my scores?
Did u always complete the 4 questions?
or the question difficulty
i didnt complete the 3rd one for capital one
for the other ones i completed 4
and of those i only got interview from c1
lmao
Best score?
What urs mr ducc
825 is still good
840+ or gtfo
most of codesignal Q4 is pretty reasonable i think
Codesignal is rng
I did like 10 codesignals, and I can say it's rng
It seems codesignal questions are easier than 1yr ago
^ honestly yea
That's my feelings. I might be biased
Now I gotta get another firm first? 
once you get one the rest fall like dominoes
But maybe it's just because we're doing them more frequently :/
except js
Does it have to be like JS or HRT 
You only remember the single good attempt not the sub-800s
Does HRT even do fall
On my 10 attempts, 6-7 were 820+
Bog built diff
Nah
That reminds me I need to grind out some codesignals
Plat and wagon smarter
Need asana 
Wagons w/ the waterloo diff
Bs u mean
No no Iāll use Squareās one until I get a score Iām satisfied with
Then Iāll just send that when asanaās out
Databricks
you can apply twice
once when you get rejected
And their 10-round interviews? Iāll pass 
then again by cold emailing when you get a competing offer
U go to a target mr wagon
It's not pltr 
But I heard itās a hard cutoff mr bog
Nah databricks is long too iirc
Ng is idk about intern
Datadog > databricks
Aight Iāll try this if it donāt work the first time 
š¶ > š§±
Bc our good friend works there 
In terms of tc, probably not
I honestly dont know databricks tc just know itās fat
Ddog return is super high tho
Theyāre not public tho are they
Databricks
Better have a fat base else Iām not going

5-6 interviews for ng, is quite normal
Bricks will IPO for sure
Itās like 10
Bruh didnt u wanna work for cockroach labs
Mightāve heard 12? Idr
Yes bc itās cool 
Lame Wagons

Did u know db wlb is amazing
Like really amazing

Isnāt it shit or something 
Does that still work?
What is ur best score so far?
812
yes
no


This is from last year tho I havenāt done a codesignal this year 
Wait 2023 summer is here also 

programming probably
I didnāt open it
The strat is to do 1, 2 and 4 asap and submit
3ās usually very lengthy and not worth it
This combination of three gives you the highest score apart from doing all 4
No
they give free practice qs
wagons stop capping ive seen so many online
Ye

You can search up the qs yeah itās just their practice oneās not representative
how long r scores valid till
6 months
How long do I have to wait between these infinite code signal attempts
2 weeks
YAH KOONA
dracos matati
how is red dead
ay
Dracos matati
does this still work... didn't someone receive a message from codesignal on this server for doing this?
But why Am i seeing the score which i gave probably a year back
STEPH CURRY
If any company requests Codesignal can I use the score from 2020 ?
l m f a o
how can i take a codesignal?
it's been > 2 weeks
use same link right
I want to intern at LinkedIn to destroy it from the inside
Same with whoever the fuck makes Workday and makes me make a new account for each fucking company
I think u might be thinking of Workday
I thought workday was a product under some bigger company
The funny thing is the problem is actually the companies using it. They donāt want singular profiles apparently š
Idk why
wait so are we allowed to use codesignal scores we got in the past for different companies? I don't really get how it works
iirc I used my past code signal score for databricks
but thats 2 yrs ago
things might have changed now
did you just submit the link to the assessment page that looks like this somewhere?
Yeah I remember something like this
Also how good is an 845? I've done like 3 codesignals and got ghosted by all of them (including the 845)
isn't the max score 850 š
if u get 300/300 on 1, 2, and 4 that is > 800 right?
845 is really good
Yeah thatās like 820 something
Again I havenāt really seen people not get interviews with 800+ so thereās something else thatās very wrong 
I think RH and/or asana gave people interviews with 700s
ASANA
Everyone here needs to 
Asana is like better google
Iām only active here again bc my shoulderās healing 
no it's dark outside
Exactly when you should be outside 
Catching up after being absent for 4 weeks 
Dw Iāll be gone again soon once my shoulderās better
Vancouver beckons
Guess Iām not a loo kid for this summer 
I know a lot of people with 840+ hard to get a interview... at least including me...
but a shitter product lol
Lol
goated companies rn is g, LinkedIn, and apple
@queen raven why did u take nvidia over g bro
Asana hating is biggest L i seen on dis server in a while
meta too
i respect it
Can you give me an referral for swe intern role @ apple when there are opening ? š
sure
unsure if I return apple but if I do sure
Damn we doing 2023 summer already
Anyone know if it's possible to push back google phone interview. The recruiter only gave me two weeks but I got finals next week and i'll prob spend most of my time studying for those.
just email and ask
how hard were the interviews
question - im a rising sophomore, (extremely fortunate to) have an internship this summer. i landed my internship by practically jerking off linkedin and connecting with as many current employees of whatever companies i was applying to which netted me referrals including one for my current internship. i keep hearing that i should also spend time reaching to recruiters as well. is it worth ? i feel as if its more worth my time strictly reaching out to current employees for potential referrals later on
wdym worth
thereās like no cost
in terms of time really - but i guess that already answers my question aksdfaklsjdf
rip CB offers
My profile pic now resembles kirb's
tf
Donāt they want people who are gonna be students after the internship ends ā¦.?
2022?? Lmao they want people who have been new grads for a year
But itās a summer 23 internship 
Akuna moment
I didnt receive any email. Am i rejected ?
So as long as I don't reject email I am fine ?
Guys if i apply for amazon robotics and get rejected for summer 23 can I apply for lets say audible/aws intern roles for the same season ?
Not interested in Akuna but I'm gonna apply with a 2022 grad date just for fun and report back
Apply with a 2021 one
Oh wait nevermind it's August 2022, I'm too lazy to update my resume
@soft mist 
I wouldnāt say FAANG tier, since I think most would take any of the FAANG > Intel
fr
non existent
if you have a yt turtriotral, pleaz send !!!
leave the server
NaN
Whatever u do, donāt respond to any dms from @hearty river
I said enough
hwlo ?
wat is a yahkuna?
tis serve is sooo werd
wy duz no one hleopp me???
god ok
i give up LOL
hi yahkuna
long time no see
HI BOG
How is the grind going?
BOG I MISSED YOU SM
it's good
i'm with Kush now LMAO
how is your grind going?
Dm a selfie
@hoary locust can i dm
Restarting slowly
are you ready for your internship
In fall
ahhh
Zh
I'm at at the noname rn
Berlin
yeye
I will dm
ok
If I'm not too lazy, I will do a video about the internship
stop going the āswe -> influencerā pipeline
Bruh
I'm not a tech lead fanboy
techlead 
OK
what to expect from akuna quant EasyHire interview?
how did you do on the OA?
never had the OA, I believe it was expedited as I had interviewed with them before
So like am I in or not? Cause I applied like a month ago
Bet šš¾
Imma just email the person to confirm they got my app
Good for both
Grinding CodeSignal would probably be beneficial as I would imagine half of these companies at Greylock use it.
that person is a intern at greylock
Interesting, didnāt even know they had interns
oh, so Akuna doesn't blacklist you if you have interviewed before?
brruhhh
yeah, I searched up this person on LinkedIn and found out
YAKUNA YAKUNA
you think 800+ is enough for these companies?
845+ or gtfo
like will getting all 4 vs 1-2-4 matter for companies like Nuro
Probably if you have a good resume too
iāve heard it probably does for data bricks
Yeah should be as they also resume screen after that
Databricks you gotta get like a 850 lol
What uni?
Probably enough for every company except databricks and quora
I guess not
quora?
I think only data bricks and quora have a high bar for codesignal score
oh yeah 2 sigma right
I saw some people on reddit get past 2S with like a 750 lol, but they probably had goat resumes
is quora a start up tho
not really seen way too many below 800 getting phone last year
How can u trust them?
i wonder if 2s data science is a different process
Yeah hiring bar for them is high af for some weird reason. Theyāre like a question answer site
bog no like data science
good to know
ik what quora is idk if theyāre a startup lol
Really donāt know, I just assume people wonāt cap about a CodeSignal for Karma points tbh
true
well iām gonna hope to get good codesignal scores
imma take the square every 2 weeks now
I donāt even know if I can call them a startup at this point cause they been around for like 12+ years.
Correct
probably cuz they hire less interns
^^
similar to reddit
Yeah thatās probably true
Barely see Quora interns on LinkedIn
do they take undergrad?
nice
Are you a ML nerd too
Just getting started this summer
and will be applying to places that do take undergrads for ML or DS positions
yes that's the target
rising junior
Just need to get past resume screen
then the interviews i hear are not as bad as G and stuff but team dependent
but need to get past interviews nevertheless
oh yeah I have good DS exp to past resume screen for that... got to build ML projects this summer now
yeah same
How much does simply going to the techfair help with getting to the interview stage? Feel like my resume is def not on par w a good chunk of techfair participants š
Yeah Iād say late July/ august but some companies (mainly quant/ trading firms) have opened up alr
Yeah keep an eye out for them on this list https://github.com/pittcsc/Summer2023-Internships
Thanks good ppl
Sure
amazon
if the hiring bar's so high, why is their site so garbage lol 
Hey, is this for intern or full time?
Intern, heās not a grad
Okay, thanks. I thought citadel intern positions were filled.
Pretty sure this was awhile back
okay. thanks.
wait wait citadel were filled for summer2023?
no summer 2022
ok
wtf
anyone received Summer Technical Development Series from meta? is it worth anything or nah?
does quant like publications?
no they like you
jokes aside it probably helps
wat is the value of gogle foo bar has anyone done it
Itās cause the engineers are too busy browsing reddit forums instead of coding 
yeah
got to round 4 and never heard back, that rarely gets you interviews these days
its not thaaat bad
damn, on the last q of round 3 rn just did that all day today but ig it was a watse
i mean its good practice, and you never know, but yeah i dont think they hire much off that
anyone?
What is that?
Around when did you get to round 4?
is this an invite-only series? What happens in this series?
^

damn
summer2023 is already here
time goes by quick
it feels like i started uni yesterday
yes it is apparently
says mock interview with a meta engineer
already have amz this summer but was wondering if this could lead to an actual interview next summer
Have you interviewed with Meta before ?
nope
did apply last year tho
got rejected
oh okay, btw did the recruiter reach out on LinkedIn or via email?
I donāt think they really use it anymore
no I just got an email
hi
no
Handshake is nice since it is full of companies paying your school to advertise to your major
Think of it as less competitive indeed or LinkedIn
But like, I get so many spam messages from ārecruitersā and if I message back they never reply
Seems like they just spam out application links
a lot of them usually wait until app season
and then choose who to reply back to i think
Ashy asf š¤¦š½āāļø
I have not had this experience, Iāve gotten about ~20ish? Offers from the ones Iāve responded to
20 offers???
Sheshh
sheeeesh, anyone know who this is?
Larry Page
Lmfao
But larry page ain't black or african american
Black Larry Page
Lol
black mario judah

How long do these internship applications last? Kind of want to be further into my current internship before applying to Amazon Robotics...
So that I have stronger bullet points
thats what i thought lmfao
i had no bullet points on mine but i still have my final next month
just oa?
then you get offer?
ive never heard of a company that hires after just oa
yeah
for swe?
its usually OA and OA2
what company offers after 2 oas?
yup
i was talking about there not just being one OA all the time
but multiple rounds
MATATI
YAKHUNI

@hearty river 
when do interviews usually happen for 2023 if you apply in like july?
corrrct
so even if i apply before septemberish, they usually delay interviews till then?
just to make sure you understand what im saying, im asking
if a company opens up applications in ~july 2022 for summer 2023 and i apply there and they decide to interview me, will i get my initial interview in septemberish? or earlier? or later? @queen raven
Grind never stops š¤š¤š¤
what did u renege goog for?
i would like to make sure this is true if possible since i have a fall internship starting in september and would like to wait till it starts to apply so i can put real bullet points into my resume
this will be my first internship and its a medium tech one so it will be the strongest part of my resume by a mile
when is last day ? š¤
also who did u renege goog for ?
sounds like a fake company
is it the bus one? what makes it good company?
also is this intern
must have a super duper promising business model to be worht reneging google for
It's not who, it's what. He reneged Google so he could flex "goog reneger" in his username here
corporations are people. havent u seen the 14th amendment and the completely legitimate interpretation of it by the supreme court
The what being the flex here in this case, not another company
@proud crag why are u optimizing job search
if u were real optimizer u would switch off sheik
Into fox
what's rideon !!!
fox is suboptimal because if i ever become fringe top 100 im contractually required to become a marxist and a furry
@near swallow
I heard its always good to apply as soon possible. Your resume would get looked at earlier
whoever responds first is the highest paid yakhunizon enployee
goat
@hearty river
look at your employee give juda matati a raise
Literally deleting all comments before mine to appear first
do it u wonāt š
whens the 2023 process sheet opening

hello yahkuna
yakhuna
stop

STOPPPPPP
"STOP" -š¤
anyone know which companies let you take return offer without graduating?
Meta Microsoft coinbase
I wonder if Coinbase fall interns are even gonna be extended a return offer, wouldn't be surprised if not 
Yeah same
Iām honestly just tryna get the resume value and dip
how dyk cuz i couldnāt find much info
iāve only seen some stuff mentioned in discords
and can i interview for both intern and ng for one company after this summer?
ive seen people mention it
it might be like a case by case thing
and I think interviewing for an intern + ng role is risky so idk about that
will ask recruiter ig
Nah, most likely they're gonna decline you for one of them and interview for the other
probably may 2024
December 2023
no
itās good
but iād do 24
not 23
because all tho itās good itās not
because then youād work full time in spring theoretically
after a semester
They basically want you to return to school for at least a semester after your internship
As long as your grad date shows that youāll prolly be doing that, youāre good
It has begun
Can we pin this?
Wait seriously?
F
I was planning to interview for both for each company lol
Yeah doesn't make sense for them to interview you for both internship and new grad
Why?
uncertain when i'll graduate
Some places will allow you to convert new grad to intern role if you end up needing to extend your grad date
But you can't interview for intern role and then convert it to new grad, you're gonna need to go through the new grad interview process
aren't companies also fairly flexible with new grad start dates
like if u finish end of summer instead of end of spring on ur final year
u think new grad roles would let u push start to fall?
hello fellow yakhunazon employees

mr bog what are your steps to solve recursion problems
i suck at recursion 
Base case
cringe case
so just base case -> recursive calls?
Base case + recursion relation
ic
iād watch MIT 6006 on DP fall 2011 playlist although itās dp i feel like it explains how to find subproblems (essentially recurse) and gives some sample problems
i shall answer it
he explains it really well
give me the recurrence relation for LCS
lcs?
also iām pretty sure OCW MIT 6006 has recursion video
leaat commons ubsequence?
longest
okay bet bet ty
that doesnt look too bad
Number of rectangles filled with same number
what lc number is that
Idr
core dumped invalid reference
wat is it then
innit just the minimum of (optimal result if you include this character, optimal result if u dont include this character)
if character dont fit then only second
im just guessing tho im currently in class learning about bessel functions
yeah somewhat
its like you include hte character on x and advance forward on string 1, or you include the character on y and advance forward on string 2, or you include both if same and advacne forward on both
so yeah
pretty much
the cool thing is, its basically edit distance where the cost of replace is infinity if not equal and 0 if equal
^ from mit 6006
best explanations
holy canolli !
so if you know edit distance, then you can do lcs
but isnt edit distance hardwr than lcs
an extra traversal i mean
down the DAG
so you branch off 3 times intead of 2
i need to do that prob again
ye i need to do more of this type of dp
im not as good at the string types as i could be
we mostly learned knapsackish stuff in school
yeah
im taking the class next sem
yeah
is there any yeahs that fly you out?
interviews
you gotta admit i was surpised i got like 40 waz on it lmao

Yes
Anyone else get an Asana Phone Screen invitation?
Yeee but not like interview just āyou passed, but waitā
