why focus on school when he can graduate with waterloo amount of internships as a higherschooler
Google moment
Depends
Bruh i ain’t even finished 1 yet. 😭
There is a tradeoff
High schoolers are busy enjoying summer you are here grinding Leetcode at 14 years old
i finished 1
yeah thats true, but if he wants the quality early career senior internships like ibm/nasa hes gonna need the quantity 
2nd one next month
I meant I lol
i am 16 now 😭

cap
Uber fired me
cap

u too goated for that
recession 
Oh this the Uber new office

Got dammit
Yeah lmao
G is overrated, apply to Enron
why's there a chase logo
Wait u can see the video?
Yeah it’s literally right beside the warriors stadium
Heard Bear Sterns has crazy good WLB
The interns was watching the finals on the jumbo lmao
do they offer High TC tho
@coarse marten i came to my cs lab and people are talking about why they don't do leetcode 
they're masters students
ok im gonna grind after 1 league game
Higher than G
Same salary for London
this is how it began
The Bear Stearns Companies, Inc. was a New York-based global investment bank

guess no worked huh
GS ceo used to work there

grafting)

oh
lmfao nice
so i am doing a program which gives me 2 credits over the summer
i took extra classes in school year
i am taking extra classes next year
i can if i want to but i probs wont
i have ecs and leadership too
yea
i am in a non profit which i hope to be pres of
niceee
yeah just doing that for fun
i have a lot of ecs just need to work on that gpa
cant change the past but i can work towards the future
plus i enjoyed gr 9 and 10 so no regrets
yeah ucs dont
what was it
if you dm me askin
honestly, I feel like gpa didn't matter much tho. Like ECs and test scores matter more (except in test blind/optional ones)
like most people would have a 3.7-3.9 gpa
/4.0
yeah that's true
time to cure cancer 
you need like at least an average gpa like 3.5+/4.0 and I feel like most schools will be fine esp if u have baller essays and test scores
holy shit english sucked ass
mf be like why did the author write that the sky was blue
lol my writing skill has degraded since college
since college started*
yeah
it's so nice
How many of you guys are private school students
STEM major be balling

LMFAOO wait that actually seems fire

I can do 2 sum in exponential time
Wow this is the definition of grinding
i am touch gras
what is the benefit of techfair
It’s basically when all the tech nerds go to 6 flags
Me
you got the OA ?
SAI MATATI
Okay, I gave the citadel OA and its was leetcode easy-med ques
no, i emailed them but no response
oh shhhh forgot to do akuna oa yesterday
I had my phone interview on July 1st and I sent a thank you email on July 5th when should I followup next ?
wait till monday
what company is the phone for
Okie
ye set up a scheduled email too if u want. so they see it first thing monday morning
for referrals can the person only give it to you before or after you apply?
for most companies its before you apply
how do u know this
arent u a high schooler
or am i mistaken
no wait
idk
bruh
stop giving advice
u dont know shit
dude thats not how it works
LMFAO
most companies give u a referral link
that u apply at
once they upload ur job id and resume into their referral portal
hm
I wish Salesforce had software engineering teams in NYC 
yeah ill ask
each person individually
ohhh
yeah hmm
but they wouldnt know
amazon and apple didnt ask for my email
thats the thing
name and job id
is all they asked
no wait
job id and reusme*
they have my name already
yeah so ill then ask if i have to apply regularly
ai
is this for summer 23?
woww so cracked
I got my resume passed to Salesforce from someone there and got an interview
So I doubt they throw out resumes
yeah
someone from IBM referred me this is what happened
theres no way to apply referral afterwards i had to make new email to apply
probly not
Can we get links to companies apps for Greylock even though we didn't get in
When you solve Conway’s game of life iteratively
Everyone does it recursively I feel like
Just cuz iterative is sm more lines of code
@quaint bolthi hi can I dm u about akuna cpp interview 👁️
what platform is this?
huh i never heard of this before. it looks good, have u used it before?
Only if you’ve got cute cat pics
Binary search
Wanna join my room rn?
I like it cuz you can make rooms where you solve the same question and makes it more fun
Learn algorithms together on binarysearch. Create a room, invite your friends, and race to finish the problem.
@honest locust I saw you looking for some bsearch buds a bit ago
Any Meta mates willing to share the exact email you got in regards to return offers? I'm seeing conflicting info all over the place
bro ur in the meta server
no i analyzed the similarirty between leetcode problemsets like blind , grind , neetcode etc
found their similarities, set intersection, set union
sure i'll join in a lil

tf are you talking about
why would it be useful?


what about js/ts
i alr know js whats the use of python if i can use node and i dont do ml/ai shit
ts avoids so many type mistakes
and js if they rly want it
u dont need strict typings
for a project that
lasts
1 day
how many loc?
130 if i minimize the arrays, 600+ if the arrays are prettified in prettier
yea its deadass 1 file lol
similar to my grokking project wehre i took every html file and packed them all in 1 main file

what is the point?
i couldnt deploy it on netlify
idk i was bored and i couldnt program for like a week the day b4
this
I meant concatenate all the code in 1 file
Anyone here ever use tailwind with angular?
And if yes do you have experience with implementing Babel preval to compress it?
Learn algorithms together on binarysearch. Create a room, invite your friends, and race to finish the problem.
New one
saying room not found for me
^^
Learn algorithms together on binarysearch. Create a room, invite your friends, and race to finish the problem.
It was an I, not an L lmao
Gonna need help on this
I suck at line sweeps
does capital 1 automatically reject international students?
i just submitted my application and got rejected instantly
You answered your own question

i thought it might have other stuff to do with my application
how was the front running detector oa
Does anyone know when will Tableau and Slack open up?
and does slack, tableau, and SF give out OA separately and have different hiring process?
Soon
The process for SWE is HackerRank first for all of them, and then if you pass the other rounds are team dependent
is it possible to interview for all 3 though or they just pick one and let you know once you pass the OA?
surprised they open on different dates if the OA is same
honestly I dont think they let you interview for all 3
because on salesforces workday website the slack and tableau openings are there
and in the job descriptions it mentions all 3 so it feels more like a general app for all 3, its weird
when did you see this, can you show?
i just checked their job description again but didn't find it
this was back during the summer 22 recruiting season
Oh
with the summit they are doing I applied on the salesforce workday site but you are considered for all 3 companies and you end up choosing which one you want most
it might be like that
that makes sense, thanks!
yeah np! I would def apply to all 3 though because you never know
still disappointed for not getting an oa for that summit
will do
On Salesforce Workday, there's only the general Salesforce intern app up currently
If you're seeing Slack and Tableau too it might be because you're a summit candidate
too confusing 
yeah f it id just apply to all 3 lol, I swear I feel like last year the slack and tableau postings were also on the workday
Yeah they were
slack >
I know people have been able to interview with different teams, so it's possible but not guaranteed
oh that's great to hear!
Yeah
@hallow scroll when do you fly out for summit
wait really?? I know tableau has 2 round final
It's team dependent, some are easy some are not
not sure about SF
easier than faang ye
according to juster final is behaiforwl
slack also good name brand
For Slack yeah, and passing resume screening is really hard for them vs Salesforce
well I am expecting most of the summit people to get an offer as why would they call you on a fully paid expense trip just to reject you at the end
It's still an interview, and you still have to pass. It's not guaranteed offers.
17th 
that's so early wow
very exciting
do you know how many approx are attending it?
60
its like 20 for each company
yeah flying out on a fully expense paid trip is a really great exp!
have been twice to such trips for events and wish to go to more
Pretty sure it'd be economy
economy

shee
im in cst
I can’t wait to meet Jack Harlow 

R u attending the summit too?
Ohh shit nice
let’s link up BROO
Meeting a future legend 
Meeting a current legend 
Are you participating in the summit too? Cause thats the following weekend
Nah
Will u still b there tho?
yea
Aight dopeee
Last day especially seems chill af
My flight back on Tuesday is 6pm
My interview ends 10 am
Sunday I fly in like 3pm
We should def link up if we can make times work
Juster and I will be in same hotel
I guess so yeah
They fly you out + hotel accommodation + Ubers
Basically they handle all accommodations for you to attend
It was resume screen -> OA -> offer
Resume screens are always rng
Considering chimi didnt get it
So yeah idk , but if you get past screen nah its chill
And idk how Salesforce or tableau finals r gna work st the summit
But I got slack too it was my top choice
And slack in general always does behavioral final
Theirs is typically 12 hr assessment —> 1 hr behavioral final
We literally just have a 30 min behavioral final tho 🤣
Tbh this is the only summit ik that flies you out
Wdym?
The final interview is just a 30 min behavioral
No leetcode
Yeah final day of the summit you interview w one of the 3 companies for a summer 23’ internship
It highkey is
Definitely grinding leetcode for other upcoming stuff tho
I needa land winter next
Cisco recruiter viewed my profile twice at separate times in the last 24 hours 
where are you going for fall?
BitGo (if they dont rescind
)
I dint have any other fall offers or interviews I stopped after getting BitGo
So hopefully I don’t regret it
why didn't you try Google for fall itself?
I got Google fall but asked to move to Winter
Im excited for BitGo and google winter sounds great
- I think id perform better at google after having 2 internships under my belt
yeah makes sense
how do you know that xD
oh you meant linked in?
What’d a summit? 🤔
Mr Bog, random question, NA vs Europe what would you choose if given a chance ?
Does C1/Capital still use code signal GCAs
I think us does but canada they use take home project
Ah ok thanks
I assume that Capital one doesn’t choose the question right
So doing Tagged questions aren’t that helpful
For the OA
Correct
Depends for what. for work, the US or Zurich. For retirement, europe (the UK maybe)
Yes
Anyone know what the vanguard phone is like?
phone screen was just a 15 minute behavioral and basic requirements check. this was last year
Cool thanks
I CHOKED SO BAD
on
Not even a request
dont panic this time
what was the problem
I still can't find where I fucked up
It was finding whether 2 nodes in a directional acyclic graph had a common ancestor
Used dfs to count the number of child nodes that were equal to the target nodes
then if the DFS returned 2 it returned true
worked for like 50% of the test cases
well like 80%
Not sure how I fucked it
Wym why does it work
Basically you recursively step into the children of a node and you see how many children are equal to your targets
if 2 of a node's children are equal to the target, that is a common ancestor
yeah
Yeah
tough
bro when you schedule the redo
they tell you that they prioritize the better of the two
you'd be silly not to
interesting
unless you absolutely nailed it
Exactly
you'll get it this time 
Should I just make the redo for like an hour form now lmao
anyone do goldman math oa
Amazon is being too slow with the oas man
bro the season just started lmfao
Yeah I'm aware. I'm going base on last year. Applied late June and received days after. I guess it changes.
was it easy?
amazon gave me lc hard last year it’s all luck
bruh tf
Hard is uncommon. It's mostly rng. I know a girl who got 2sum last yr for final.
thats a hard
It's okay you'll get there :)
lol ty
Tfw you get nervous and forget how to do 2sum
When does google close summer 23 internship apps
is it open yet?
i don’t know
It closed yesterday
i was told check back in February by an internal source

anyone how did the goldman sachs OA already received any answer?
what
if someone got any reply from them after sending the OA
Is there a different link for SIG besides the trading expression of interest?
Anyone gave Goldman Sachs OA?
for swe u mean?
When ya'll think is the latest to apply to companies that have already opened up like Cap one and CiscoMeraki
I need mroe practice
How about a month from now?
just took the capitalone OA this morning, it was like 2 leetcode easy, probably easier than easys, one leetcode medium, and one somewhere between
i did it for RBC
Code signal has a full length practice test you can take to get a feel for what the question difficulty is like
omg I did not know that, thank you! I'll see how I do today
its rng
it all just depends on how the 1, 2, 4 ae
are
if the 4th isnt insanely ahrd u can get a good score
even better skip 3
Bruhhh what
i hate doing lc
so the strat is speedrun 1,2 and try to do well on 3?
i mean 4*
Mannn so people who don't look this shit up are just at a huge disadvantage then
no
oh yeah
4
just do 1 2 4
speedrun
i guess kinda
it would be hard to get a guaranteed 820+ or smth
Waitttt
but with this strat just keep retaking u should be good
So since it's time based
Would it better to do 4 and just submit
rather than attemp 3
after 1 and 2
Always do 1 > 2 > 4 > 3
codesignal right
codesignals are usually like that
2 lc easy, 1 med for 4 ,and q3 can be hard or med imo
yes
If you get 1,2,4 right pretty quickly, you can completely skip 3 and get 820
did anyone get interview
yep
820 should be good for like most companies
maybe not databricks or quora but like thats it
How quick is quickly 😮
how quizk
don't know. in my experience, if have 30-40 minutes left after finishing 1,2,4 and skip 3, I get 820+
f databricks
hm i see
how do i keep retakign tho
yeah that's the hard part 😦
i just took practice tests on codesignal and did some leetcode to the point where I got better at solving q4
and then got lucky in one test
Can you do the test on diff emails lol
yeah but u need to show id lmfao
Well no problem unless they cross-check yea?
yeah I wouldn't risk it if they email you the test link
Got you
so u can keep retaking practice test
Maybe you can apply to the company wit a diff email if u know they do codesignal
yeah after like 2-3 practice tests, you will start running into some similar problems though
hm
i mean dont peopel retake unlimited times
until good score
with one link
well the practice test can't be used towards an official coding assessment
it's just there, quite literally for your practice
there is a 2 week cooldown. also, most test invites expire after 2 weeks
but you will need a test link from the email you got
on different accs
i don't think that will work
because you're sent an email that links to a codesignal email account
if you do it on a different codesignal account, it might not register it
but haven't tried so idk
oh, well then there's nothing stopping us is there :p
ig
but just for codesignal
which is first roudn for meta, asana, databricks, etc
so thats good
ocne u get a good score u can reuse for up to 6 mos
yeah
its rng
you can take the whole time too
ive heard
but time helps for sure
Any last min tips for google phone
Bet ty tupac ❤️
last year it took me 5 months to hear back after OA for interviews
G london tho
hey, is there a complete list where I can check all companies that are open atm?
ey, thanks, saw the github link
yeah for swe. I see ppl getting OAs for 2023 but there's no other apps open on the sig website besides trading interest
i applied for swe
i forgot how
but i had the same issue as u
found it
isn't the HPE swe intern opening the old one that someone added to the github repo?
It doesn't say summer 2023 anywhere on it
and have seen the same posting on LinkedIn listed as posted 1 month back
That’s assuming I had that many to begin with
Could’ve ended the video at 0.001 seconds for me

whats a braincell
dw about it
ok
Something u wished u had
Gigamongus brain cells
abt me wishing to have a braincell
idek what that means
Good luck my dude 
Get muted
How tf did nyu make the cut
And all the UCs
Uc Merced >>> michigan
Wait what is this
What company is that for/
Wowww
There’s more recruiters for Harvard Yale etc than for Berkeley or Michigan etc in the 2nd link
Interesting link, thanks
Is today the day (July 11) Google releases its Winter/Summer 23 applications ?
Ah yes I remember that
lol

i wonder what % replied to the survey though
i remember brown avg starting cs from reported is like 150k though lol
Not as high as Waterloo SE reported starting though lol
i think waterloo SE was like 300k CAD
for ppl that respdned
most of those companies dont target ivies for some reason for swe
how many ppl in the program
seems kinda cap
some people from this sever go there
idk much about it
@hearty river
why do you just react to everything
i wanna see u type
i miss matati
😔
so type
target or nah
idk about target
is it really worth going to HFTs and co
thanks
still possible right ? going from there to HFTs
brown as a whole seems good
does brown help a lot in getting jobs
but the cs classes are legit mit/cmu classes x 1/3
lol
brown is so easy
to do well at
xD
no why are you setting faang as a metric
and calling other people a dumbass
dude you’re not even in fucking collehe yet
who are you to shit on someone
grade hyperinflation
yeah exactly
dude read what you said
if you go to brown and don’t get a faang
you’re high key dumb
ay guys chilll
so it doesn’t matter lmao
not everyone can pass the interbiews just cause u go to brown doesn’t make u better a leetcode and dsa suddenly
ur metric is flawed as fuck
Microsoft isnt faang so its a bad company sorry
This is why amazon isnt faang either
The A in FAANG stands for Audible
Yeah
Its probably true
Believe me
Zoox is faang
zoom
I propose FAANGZ
makes cars too
FAANGZZ
i propose ZHANG zoox and hubspot
asian representation is needed
stop reading manga

What’s ur favorite manga
even apple and amazon doesn't have free food too
no
probably ~100
hm it’s possible then
way more
their SE >>>>>>> their CS
i cant find the most recent one but for 2021 UW SE, 52/92 replied and avg salary starting $284k CAD
for 2020, median is is 300k CAD
https://uw-se-2020-class-profile.github.io/profile.pdf
w/ 76.6% response rate
82/107
yea but its still 250k USD
really ?
damn
250k doesnt seem too unrealistic though considering how difficult it is to get into the program + doing 6 internships
yeah ik but i meant like they probably are gonna all end up at top tier companies if they have that much exp
Hi, did Google open their summer 2023 swe intern position? I couldn't find the post.
Nope, not yet, @queen raven told they will open on July 11 
Thanks, wow, so early 🥲
gotta start leetcoding 😂
same
More internships generally means a company will offer u more
Ah okay, mb then
No, more offers will mean a company will offer you more 
Okay either way more internships -> more offers
At max you’ll end up with two return offers at loo anyways so you’re still gonna have to interview with companies for new grad
You’re skipping a lot of steps in that pipeline
I don’t disagree that there’s some correlation but it’s not that straightforward 
Going to loo doesn’t automatically mean more TC 
If you do two back-to-back then there’s a chance you’ll get the return offers in overlapping timelines
Any more and at least one will expire before you get the chance to negotiate
I think all companies want an offer letter 
At least companies you’d care about
Or like email convos about what they’re tryna offer
So if you wanna forge emails 
Meta > google or Microsoft tbh. I’d go for quant or high pay, private unicorns if i were u (Databricks, Stripe, etc.)
Ya i heard
WLB is going to be team dependent at every company, except Tesla😔
Tesla is crazy man i was leading a meeting with my manager and another SWE until 1 AM one time
so idk
asana or goog
juda u r math chad you'd be cracked if you did quant shit

one day 
Everyone there is definitely tied to the mission/company
the founders literally said they're "comfortable" staying private
they make so much money I don't see them needing to go public anytime soon
elon dick riders my favourite gender fr

that's a good thing 
juda get a taycan
instead of a tesla

The like slate gray color my fav
that light blue one?
yeah I want that one tbh
this colour
he finished the oa before it even started
juda too op
I’m taking a break from startup grindset tn
Fr, i try to not do any work past 10 or so anyways
Stresses me out
what's tiktok doing with compilers 
No
ayo??
startup grindset never ends brotha 🥂 @stone umbra
Ya
screw the options, put all that money on Stake instead
ill have to run that by our investors
run the slots
hell yeah brother
Dey are compiling a way to make good vids, what part of dat dont u understand
I think u should stay in IC track
U are missing vision
EM track - pushin P
IC - pushin code
Yessir if u can reverse a string u will always be ok

is it fine to send a connection request to a recruiter without a message, or is it typically recommended?
have my atlassian 23 summer intern interviews in the coming week.
i am pretty confident about the coding round. do you guys have any advice for the values and management round they have? or if someone else had given it before
juda will i get a job at g
i hope because i want free food
still scared for it
have two topics left to grind
graphs and dp
felt decent on graphs but i haven't started dp yet lmao
juster got dp by google
i don't wanna be dp by google

Us positions?
yeah
when do they open up?
ohhh
they take international students as well?
Is there a list of companies outside US/Canada that sponsor visa?
i've seen people get full time from europe but haven't seen people interning much
European positions
same
I'm interning at jpmc London
and you are from?
France
hmm what visa did you need?
What is propel?
woah that's sick!
i've seen a lot of people interning at their glasgow office from india (i am from india btw)
^about jpmc london
internship program from Amazon for soph/junior
ayo
Usually you have a visa for students completing a bsc or msc
In my case it was different
yeah i am on cpt in US
I meant for the uk
It really is easier to get a visa to work in the uk
Compare to the us
idk if apps are open for the thing in the screenshot
it was someone i asked for referral telling me that he didn't find any opportunities on their internal site for international students
he sent the screenshot
@limber mesa I'm sure it will be ez for you to get interviews
can someone from india refer you for positions in US?
From iit 
sadly not 🥲
damn you are in IIT
Gn mr juda
but I am actually dumb because i've been applying abroad
because in india, we don't intern at "better" companies in sophomore
@limber mesa
ohk ty!
atleast in amazon and google as far as i know
didn't know that
Btw, when people speak about international students, they refer to students studying in the us coming from overseas@limber mesa
Not us

I applied to their uk positions
Did an oa and a hackathon
And got an offer

Really ez process
Oo interesting :]
orz
i've been doing sports programming for last 2 years, so no hackathon for me 
yeah
got to participate in these hackathons!
looks like a good way to get in some companies :]
ps: they seem to be fun

second thread is from there 🤭
i had followed his tutorials a while back
what about singapore? anyone knows if companies take interns from outside?
i've seen some companies open intern positions
Dubai outsources in india/Pakistan
any idea if companies hire international students for internship or know anyone? like us doesn't seem to be too keen on that
I swear dubai is an L
yo any of u hft horndogs familiar with a company called quantlabs?
theyre coming to my school career fair and I was wondering if anyone knew ab them
Do I look like an hft simp 
are you ? :0
No 
Nah lol
Source: working in Dubai rn and know the tc for new grad etc.
140k cad base salary(and that’s not taxed)
Cad
. Who cares of cad
Is it all companies located in dubai?
All salaries I see for Dubai on reddit is <50k for experienced swe (at least 5yoe)
Idk I’m talking abt the company I’m interning for(Baraka) I’ve heard Careem, Talabat, zon, Ziina, Sarwa also pay pretty good here
Then yes, it's pretty good
Bro what if I grind, get google in USA, request to transfer to Google India
I was looking at Google salary vs cost of living in India
Mates they still pay like they’re in America
Like 190k converted to USD
But everything is cheap
What sucks is you still pay US taxes on top of whatever nation you’re in
Huh, i think this is not true tbh. For entry swe google pay like around 100k usd out of which including at stocks bonuses and stuff out if which around 40k usd is the base salary
i dont think this is true 
are we seeing microsoft this week 😳
it isn’t out yet lol?
india?
ahh, he had his MS '23 Summer intern test for india :]
Oh that’s sad
anyone do the akuna python intern final?
true I’m just arguing for the pay
I mean my area is all fintech companies it’s acc sick(difc)
'
Maybe but I mean 108k USD is pretty good for ng I would say
yea 100% atleast from what Ik
k
Where’d u live
No clue where that is
Ik of motor city
And what was the outcome?
Still no clue
No lmao I’m not from here only came for the summer for the internship lol
Ik of Jumeirah like jbr never heard of jumeirah village
I’m living in silicon oasis working in difc and ngl so far it’s been sick
Yea
Amazon payments is the only development here tho
Can i fill the lyft form ? even though I didn't attend sessions ?
u can try but they tracked attendance
Ah shit
I got to know about this program last week
Are there any other programs like this ?
Ah ok ok

Okay
Taycan wagon looks amazing 🥸
Tho realistically I’d buy like a used Audi S5 sport back
Taycan wagon is the dream. Hard to find ones at sticker tho
