Which one is prefix sum again

#

Oh I see

past comet
#

If they kick off recruiting events in couple of months, why post the job opening now ?

honest locust
#

Yea weird

past comet
#

Anyways, I hope referral helps in some way atleast the resume to be viewed by recruiter 🤞

honest locust
#

How do I get referral, just dm random people who work there from ur uni?

past comet
#

Yeah i did that and it worked

#

i dm'ed EM's too but they left me on read sadge

#

and only one recruiter replied

#

1100 layoffs at coinbase

#

Are those like recruiters

Or hiring managers

#

Does DMing recruiter actually help?

warm siren
sudden knot
#

I would recommend DMing recruiters/managers around August when most companies are actively hiring

past comet
# devout fractal What did u ask out of curiosity

I told that I am interested in SWE internship and would love to start interview process and then replied that he is not associated with intern role but he could help me notify the person who is associated with that role and I requested him to do so and then he replied the above screenshot

sudden knot
#

but you can DM people for referrals now if apps have opened up

Surprisingly none

How hard is Akuna capital’s first phone screen (30-45 minute code pair) for quant dev?

sinful locust

#

You can use ide during hackerrank oa?

#

it says you can

honest locust
#

yea, i've used vsc during hackerrank oa before

#

i tend to use vsc when i get errors on the hackerrank and my code doesn't work correctly

#

for the python debugger

novel lily
honest locust
#

so i think it's more of a systems type of question

#

rather than lc stuff

ivory ocean
#

holy shit

#

the cpp test

#

fuck that

#

I was also so much rustier than I thought I could only solve one

#

Sooooo rough

#

Jesus

#

Literally almost puked reading the questions

#

Still no clue how I'd solve them

#

Probably cram and do the python one friday

I will be lucky to get york / ryerson at this point

quaint bolt
quaint bolt
#

Wym?

#

She got rejected during admissions and got into math

#

That’s her uni grades rn in the post not hs

cyan garnet
#

if she has all of that I am assuming her hs grades were good too

quaint bolt
#

She switched into that major after getting differed to math

I wonder if I should make a reddit post about myself

#

and see how many no life sweat comments and cap I get

cyan garnet

someone got a 97% with insane ecs

#

rejection from loo

#

99.6% rejection

#

(probs cuz no ecs)

quaint bolt
#

But she’s 2022 so this means she got in 2017/2018

cyan garnet
#

98% IB program got accepted with mid ECs

cyan garnet

I know someone who got loo cs with 94%

#

can you apply to two positions for Akuna ?

#

and do OA for both?

sinful locust

yes

i think thats what lots of us are doing lmao

#

they posted so many positions

@gilded bolt ayo with your kermit emotes lol

What topixs should prioritize for google? Dp? Graph? Binary search?

#

Those are my strongest areas thanospog

#

I thought google was known for dp

prisma mauve

gentle latch
#

Ok cool

honest locust
#

I wonder if they have any dp on trees

gentle latch
#

How common are lc hards for google?

honest locust
#

I need more practice on that

#

Dp on graphs is just bellman ford

#

Or adjacent

fierce token
#

Juda 🐐

sinful locust
#

anyone know how to

gentle latch
sinful locust
#

Count number of increasing subsequences of size k

#

i learned the way with meet in the middle

#

but DP more efficient

gentle latch
#

2d dp?

sinful locust
#

yea

#

thought process?

gentle latch
#

I can think of recursion + 2d memo

sinful locust
#

or maybe move to lc channel probs

gentle latch
#

Use 2d dp table, size n by k, that stores num of increasing subsequences given a start index for the subsequence and size of subsequence

#

The answer for the whole problem is spot[0][0] of the dp table

sinful locust
#

i find 2d more confusing

honest locust
#

Yea

#

I had to do 4d for an online thing once

#

Horrible question

gentle latch
gentle latch
sinful locust
#

yeah im comfortable with stuff like coin change

#

and lcs / edit distance

#

i need to get better at recognizing subproblems / params

gentle latch
#

Idk

sinful locust
#

does fb ask dp

gentle latch
#

The daily lc yesterday was 2d dp

sinful locust
#

triangle?

#

or wrong one

gentle latch
gentle latch
#

3 of the qs on my twitter oa were dp

sinful locust
#

col as in index within row

#

i did it like min path sum on trees, except memo overlapping children paths

gentle latch
#

No recursion

sinful locust
#

yeah that makes sense, so in place right

honest locust
#

twitter asked for the approximation alg version of dp for mine

sinful locust
#

yea i did recursion and memo

#

seemed most intuitive at the time

honest locust
#

idk why people call it tabulation and memoization for the 2 methods

#

they're both storing things in a table

#

i prefer iterative and recursive

gentle latch
#

Yeah

sinful locust
#

do interviewrs have a preference?

#

i usually do recursive

#

@hearty river do you like DP

ivory ocean
# steady crow modern c++?

Yes, modern C++ standards like “select all of the following that are true and unique about r values” or “is this going to cause an error in runtime, compile time, or in the linker”

#

And then 3 LC

quaint bolt
#

I feel like most don’t care

sinful locust
#

yeah

#

i mean i would think it would be too picky to care about the recursive overhead

quaint bolt
#

Maybe if you have a lot of time they’ll ask you to do it iteratively

sinful locust
#

yeah

#

it just comes more natural recursively

quaint bolt
#

If you can do it top down it’s very easy to convert to bottom up anyways

sinful locust
#

yea true

#

just gotta topsort it

gentle latch
sinful locust
#

yessir

#

haha

honest locust
#

i was like, what's topsort, but ohhhh topological sort

gentle latch
#

He's the only one I've noticed refer to tabulation as topo sort lol

honest locust
#

i mean i see where he's coming from

sinful locust
#

to get the loop bounds yea / ordering

ivory ocean
#

I gotta actually get to grinding LC

#

@south aspen got the lyft eta decision

#

theyre opening to workshops for all applicants

#

i think screening / selection happens before mock interview

sudden knot
sinful locust
#

yea

#

wouldve been better if selection was now

#

now itll just be rng or whtv

sudden knot
sinful locust
#

yea

#

at least ill be somewhat more familiar with their process

#

but those hours better not be useless

sudden knot

otherwise itll be useless

and bro

#

even their expedited isnt truly expedited like you just get final

#

they said you still need to do OA then final

sudden knot
sinful locust
#

yeah

#

but most other places i hear expedited are just final

#

not rlly skipping since im p sure you have to do well on mock interview

sudden knot
#

at least you get your process started if you get in

sinful locust
#

yeah its def good

sudden knot
#

still way better than getting ghosted when you cold apply

sinful locust
#

yeah true

hopefully i get in is all LOL

@flint belfry @unreal seal For both of you, no there is no Java position at Akuna

mystic depot
#

yh most big companies do but not for akuna

ivory ocean

they require the language that matches the position you applied in

So if you applied for C++ development intern, you're going to be using c++

yhyhyh just not for the open internship positions

The fact that a company thinks it’s reasonable for an intern to be grilled on system design

#

good brand name

ivory ocean
#

I saw some dude on cscareers discord

#

wait reddit i mean

#

anyways he worked at phub

#

and he said they replace all images/video thumbnails with dogs when working on it

#

like the dev environment is setup that way

:(*

sinful locust
#

its boring

#

its just carry add carry add

ivory ocean
#

pretty easy tbh

sinful locust
#

yea

#

is it lc easy i forget

ivory ocean
#

its med

sinful locust
#

oh lol

#

its basically a "dont screw up" problem

ivory ocean
#

but it showed me importance of thinking it all out hahaha

#

cuz I forgot to add node at the end for if overflow

#

then I failed the test case

#

and was all "aha"

sinful locust
#

ah node

#

overflow

#

NodeJs

ivory ocean
#

Yes nodejs for overflow

#

not sure how you'd handle it without importing an overflow framework

#

definitely not just a two line if statement

ivory ocean
#

lmao

#

someone want to get frustrated, do "reverse singly-linked list" on LC iteratively

#

as you pop from stack, you have to set the node's next to None before assigning it as the next of your current one or LC freaks out and says "cycle detected"

#

despite the fact that it would've been handled in the next iteration lmao

fickle drift
#

iterative is the classic solution

#

with the while loop

#

no?

ivory ocean
#

I learned recursive first

#

but I suppose yeah most would learn iterative with stack first

fickle drift
ivory ocean
#

Well not sure which solution you mean then

fickle drift
#

i'll send

ivory ocean
#

I did it with stack as it was on some list of recommended questions under the "stack" section

ivory ocean
#

so I was like "hmm Ill try it with stack then"

fickle drift
#
def reverseList(self, head):
    prev = None
    curr = head

    while curr:
        next = curr.next
        curr.next = prev
        prev = curr
        curr = next
    
    return prev
ivory ocean
#

that is clever

#

basically the exact same as recursive

#

just hold a prev instead of relying on call stack

#

oh ya know what, i wonder if it was under stack section cuz of call stack lmaooooo

Is Akuna Capital OA auto?

clear oxide
#

not really

#

also wtf I just got c++ dev oa

#

after I scheduled my quant dev interview

jolly jewel
#

Not really? It's either it is or it's not. Either way, just got mine today.

ivory ocean
#

It isn't auto

#

but it isnt really strict

#

its like if you graduate anytime soon and are majoring in CS you get it

#

Source: I've gotten python, cpp, and just got the UI/UX C# OA and I am definitely not an overachiever

rocky matrix
#

how long is amazons cool down period

ivory ocean
hallow scroll
ivory ocean
#

Has anyone done the UI/UX OA for Akuna?

#

Idek what it is I just applied lol

ivory ocean
#

Never done any ui ux stuff in my life

#

also only used c# for dotnet

hallow scroll
#

if you get auto reject then thats how you know youre on some sort of cooldown for them

ivory ocean
#

lmao this should be super fun

honest locust
#

Just had akuna quant dev phone

ivory ocean
#

how'd it go

honest locust
#

Got a class design oop/tree question out of nowhere

ivory ocean
#

jesus

#

I have OOP next spring semester

#

so in the cpp OA

jolly jewel
#

Does leetcode have a set of Akuna capital questions?

ivory ocean
#

it was like "what oop design principle should so and so do"?

#

Hahaha I guessed

honest locust
#

I heard from someone else who had their quant dev phone that they had a dp lc instead

ivory ocean
#

I think I said Mediator instead

hallow scroll
#

dp pepecry

ivory ocean
honest locust
#

I would've preferred the dp to this class stuff

ivory ocean
#

Just make sure ya aren't a moron

#

My opinion is that phone screens are the hardest

#

cuz no computer

#

Also dont they just straightup call outta nowhere

honest locust
#

Nah it's on the hackerrank

#

System

ivory ocean
#

Like "Hi this is akuna, good fuckin luck mate"

honest locust
#

It was scheduled

ivory ocean
#

oohhh okay

#

I swear I've seen some people complain about applying to like goog and they just call you

#

they're like "Hi this is so and so from Google, do you have a minute to answer a question"

#

Then, thinking its like a normal question like "can you confirm this on your resume"

#

its a damn LC

honest locust
#

Oh yea, that's how they told me I got accepted for this summer

#

I don't think they blindside for phone interviews anymore

hallow scroll
#

i dont think google calls you for a random interview, maybe for a decision or something

ivory ocean
#

buncha scammers

#

oh okay

hallow scroll
#

but yeah they make you schedule them

ivory ocean
#

i coulda sworn they did

#

maybe the guy I saw say that was just lying

#

@honest locust where you get good at LC?

#

Any recommended resources?

outer canopy
#

Does everyone get Akuna oa

ivory ocean
#

I'm currently struggling at merge intervals on LC

hallow scroll
ivory ocean
honest locust
#

I'm a ta for our algo course, but my algo course helped a lot about how to go through the problems

polar crescent
#

Yo, how strict is Akuna with their OAs

ivory ocean
#

like in terms of correctness or cheating

hallow scroll
#

considering its auto you probably have to do good + have a good resume to move on

polar crescent
#

No like what’s the probability you get one

ivory ocean
#

99.9999999999

honest locust
#

Pretty high

#

I did one oa while applying for 4 positions

#

So idk

ivory ocean
#

I got sent 3 OAs for 5 applications so far

#

Wait for 4 apps sorry

brisk forge
#

If you get rejected for one position at Akuna does cooldown apply for all other positions?

ivory ocean
#

as far as I know

brisk forge
polar crescent
#

Oh okay cause I mass applied and got 6 OAs, 6 apps

ivory ocean
#

Cuz I already got hammered and rejected for cpp two days ago

#

but still got sent ui ux oa today

honest locust
#

Oh apparently the quant ones share an oa

ivory ocean
#

Okay but seriously

#

Does anyone know wtf is in a UI/UX OA

polar crescent
#

And how bad are the OAs, are they like lc meds or hard?

honest locust
#

Oh it's probably some design stuff

hallow scroll
ivory ocean
honest locust
#

I wanna know too

ivory ocean
#

for C++ dev

honest locust
#

Even though I'm not interested

#

I got 3 mediums for quant

ivory ocean
#

I'm not interested unless I randomly get accepter

#

accepted*

polar crescent
honest locust
#

The python one I hear was an oop question and 10 python MCQ

#

Are systems design and oop coding synonymous usually

#

For questions

ivory ocean
#

Yeah you can tell by name

hallow scroll
#

depends on the company, some companies consider their sys des rounds more like oop

ivory ocean
#

there is also an OOP for C++

#

You get 1 or the other

#

If you have front-ran detection for python, its OOP

#

if you have like a generic name like "Python Development OA" that's gonna be LC and MCQ

#

Same for C++

#

tho idk what the name of the OOP one for C++ is

clear oxide

Campus C++ Test 2023 - I

ivory ocean
clear oxide
honest locust
#

Has anyone done the python lc oa?

#

@clear oxide tell me how it goes

#

Good luck

flint belfry
#

still wondering what's the diff between python development and python campus data tool for the interviews

ivory ocean
#

Not sure

#

I think data tool might be specifically using things like Numpy/Pandas/Keras/Tensorflow

#

Data science only with python

#

whereas python development can be a range of things

hallow scroll
#

Just did the UI oa for akuna, its just leetcode

#

I saw it was leetcode and just closed out lol

ivory ocean
#

wtf hahahaha

#

Was it bad leetcode?

#

Like hard?

hallow scroll
ivory ocean
#

fuck this man

#

just give me the $80 per hour for easy lc

honest locust
#

Did you have a chance to read the questions

ivory ocean
#

cmon now

honest locust
#

I'm fine with $50 with easy lc haha

#

cough google step cough

flint belfry
#

$50 startup with no LC interview is possible actually

ivory ocean
#

Find me it

#

plz

#

❤️

#

Rn, it looks like my best bet is Palantir internship tbh

#

Which ngl I would love

#

it looks like a rlly fun company

flint belfry
ivory ocean
#

what startup with no lc

flint belfry
ivory ocean
#

Hasn't opened yet

#

but applied last year

#

and was too young

#

but left a good enough impression that I had a recruiter reach out right after explaining that it was solely cuz I was too young, then reach out again last week

#

And she called me and answered questions and got to know me earlier today

flint belfry
ivory ocean
#

It opens july

#

that's awesome I didn't know that existed

flint belfry
#

I feel like a lot of startups have good culture and nice people based on what I saw on their glassdoor reviews

ivory ocean
#

That's good to hear

flint belfry
#

yea but I believe they still ask you basic oop,data struture,algorithm knowledges during technical interview even there's no LC.
