[devout fractal]

no as in they do hire or no as in they don't hire?

bruh

why recruit 😭

hate it out here

[shy tree]

@devout fractal I think cause the US is the offshore office

[steady crow]

source? cant believe firms like optiver don’t consider f1 students… that’s weak

[shy tree]

you can apply to ams

ya HQ in ams

[devout fractal]

hm, so HQ would sponsor CPT?

[slow quarry]

literally just ignore that

akuna does not pay enough to ask that trivia shit

[shy tree]

lmao it wouldn't be CPT then

[devout fractal]

or actually does cpt even lol

Yea

[shy tree]

Whatever the Netherlands equivalent of work visa

[steady crow]

Yeah they do

amsterdam sponsors

[devout fractal]

Eh optiver not worth it then if i have go to ams

[steady crow]

would country really matter for resume value?

[devout fractal]

yea im british, i could just go to london office

need to get connections who would be in the US, waste of time if i don't plan on fintech and no talented ppl who will build network for where i want to end up

i can just go to some other place that'd let me be in the US, more useful in the long term

[rugged knoll]

How hard was the capital one OA?

[steady crow]

does c1 consider F-1 students

[devout fractal]

no

[native scaffold]

Has stripe reached out to anyone attending the greylock tech fair?

[ivory ocean]

I heard to always skip 3

[stark basin]

I honestly can't remember what 3 was for me but I feel lucky af that it was something I knew how to do pretty quickly now

[rugged knoll]

thanks guys, do they usually asked the tagged questions from LC?

[hollow sun]

This shouldn’t be a blanket rule imo, if u have time and think u can do it then go for it. Sure most companies 800+ is good enough but y try to get a higher score if u can

Also I could be wrong but the points u lose from opening 3 wouldn’t put u below 800

[stark basin]

you lose points just for opening a problem?

[hollow sun]

yea

[stark basin]

that's kinda dumb but ok

[hollow sun]

iirc its like at most +- 12

theres a github somewhere

that talks about it

[stable root]

I’m pretty sure it only takes points off if u submit something, pretty sure you can look at the problem and see if you could reasonably solve it in the time you have left

[hollow sun]

I heard just the action of opening it loses points

But that being said it’s like 10 points max prob less

[ivory ocean]

I hate codesignal the most of all platforms

[sinful locust]

yo

they told me to fuck off

[devout fractal]

lol

but nah dude

i didn't get it, good job on getting 👍

[fickle ivy]

sounds personalized

talks abt ur exp

right

[sinful locust]

hm

p good company i heard

[devout fractal]

homie u seen the magical/bluesky emails? Now those felt like scams lolol

just go to greylock booth, doesn't hurt

[honest locust]

what is pymetrics?

[earnest hatch]

A fun game, my advice is to practice pressing spacebar fast!

[sand pendant]

assessment where you play few mini games

[earnest hatch]

That'll help you with some of the games

[sand pendant]

is this for Blackstone?

[honest locust]

yup

[earnest hatch]

lol

A lot of companies stopped doing Pymetrics, like JPM. Surprised some companies still use it.

[honest locust]

can one get rejected bc of pymetrics

not sure how pymetrics actually helps with hiring

they used the one i did last year

[fickle ivy]

pymetrics?

for blackstone?

is that after OA lmfao

[sand pendant]

that is oa itself I think

[fickle ivy]

oh im stupid

cant read

what kinda minigames are there

[honest locust]

i don't remember

they used the one from last year :(

but i wanted to redo and they didn't net me

*let

[honest locust]

apparently quite a bit where you have to spam the space bar

[fickle ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/noteing-this-down-notes-take-notes-gif-22681311

my osu skills:

[ivory ocean]

Blackstone

oop

Better

[fickle ivy]

fr?

or are u memeing

[ivory ocean]

I am memeing

[fickle ivy]

well

manifesting

[ivory ocean]

Yes

Is blackstone even a thing or did you just mean blackrock

[dawn bramble]

Does meraki respond quickly after oa?

[honest locust]

yes it is a thing

[honest locust]

i got ghosted

[dawn bramble]

And what is the interview process?

Damn, when did u do oa

[honest locust]

last june

early last june

[fickle ivy]

lmfao

[honest locust]

this was for last year

[fickle ivy]

cisco meraki ghosted

did oa last month

[dawn bramble]

I just oa and did well on it but ig it's ghost

[honest locust]

remember out of [black|bridge][stone|rock]

3 of them are tech companies and the remaining one is a tire company

[ivory ocean]

Ope

It’s not actually a good meme then hang on

There

[sinful locust]

Do uk how long akuna took to get back to you after phone rounds

[honest locust]

Half a week to a week

[sand pendant]

how did your phone go?

[sinful locust]

i think there will be for sure but harder to get interview

[honest locust]

Tiny intern class

I think same for googlr

Like 60-80% of Google hires will be returns

[south aspen]

I’m just trying to grind for interviews

And Roger’s wifi goes down

Fuck Roger’s

[stark basin]

yeah fuck you Roger

[slow quarry]

Meta Bar

[sinful locust]

Pretty well I think

We shall see

[fickle ivy]

host matching?

[sinful locust]

team match

final step

[fickle ivy]

also new pfp bruh

u keep throwing me off lmao

[sinful locust]

stop

[floral mantle]

They have non defense products

[fickle ivy]

stop waht

[fickle ivy]

offense products

[stark basin]

[tough ledge]

do you guys know if there's a place we can check what companies we've applied to if we're using the tracker

[white rampart]

[mystic depot]

nah i dont think so i got the OA and im not a us citizen

didnt get auto reject

u do the palantir oa? is it leetcode? im so confused by the name of the challenge

[fallen flare]

palantir hire international applicants I believe

i'm from the UK and I've been speaking with palantir recruiter asking for US location preferences & client preferences, so they must sponsor

[devout fractal]

o wait srsly

[mystic depot]

yh im from the uk too and i haven't been auto rejected so i guess they do sponsor

[devout fractal]

bet, we have a lot of brits here lmao

are ya'll at us unis too?

[mystic depot]

nah im at uk uni

[devout fractal]

icic

[mystic depot]

just gotta pass the palantir oa

[devout fractal]

us just pay so well bruh, why can't uk have as good swe industry

[coarse marten]

U will

My fellow pltr simp

[mystic depot]

me looking at uk swe industry

[devout fractal]

engineering in general just so garbo pay

all the engineering mfs just go into finance

[mystic depot]

i gotta believe

ngl im just studying graph problems rn

[coarse marten]

UK is probably in the top 5 of best locations for swes

[devout fractal]

basically only london, in comp to US locations 😭

[mystic depot]

yh i do say bad stuff about it but its not really that bad tbf, ngl i think im just looking to see a different country more than anything

[devout fractal]

ig to me my main issue is all the innovation be happening in the US

[mystic depot]

thats how i see it as well, just seems like they are doing a lot of the cool tech stuff in the US. imma make it someday

[devout fractal]

also with the pound falling lmfao

[coarse marten]

It isn't

Just the us dollar appreciating

[devout fractal]

[hallow scroll]

You can do internships as long as you have one semester of school left right? I thought next summer would be my last internship but I think I have another summer after that

[cyan garnet]

is there a requirement like that? I thought they didnt care unless it explicitly says u will return to school for 1 or more semester in the job description

[hallow scroll]

Idk that’s why I ask

[ivory ocean]

I think so

I mean you can apply to most internships even if you graduated, just a lot less likely you get it

Like ash said

[trim canopy]

This might be dumb but why do YouTube video solve Lc in less than 20 minutes but in interviews they give you 45 minutes ?

[tawdry sparrow]

Because they’ve seen/solved the problem before and have a structured approach prepared beforehand to walk you through it?

[trim canopy]

Also are the interview LC problems straight from leetcode website or is their like a minor shift ?

@tawdry sparrow

[tawdry sparrow]

Could be either

If you understand the problem, minor changes shouldn’t give you too much trouble

[trim canopy]

For example keef code is sort a string to convert to int and interview is int to string ?

@tawdry sparrow

[mossy compass]

totally depends on the company, some will pull right from leetcode, others will consistently have new problems - best to not focus on specific questions and learn the patterns

[earnest hatch]

Yes you can

[hallow scroll]

I see ty

[oak kite]

sometimes companies might ask you to do 2 mediums in 45 minutes

facebook and companies that use karat (walmart, indeed, coinbase, palantir, roblox) do this

[thorn spear]

anyone here going to salesforce summit tomorrow?

[ivory ocean]

Palantir interview done

Redo one anyways

Was not very fun

[crisp berry]

with no OA?

is it ill-advised to reapply with updated resume on new email

or should i wait a few months

[ivory ocean]

Do they sponsor?

[fickle ivy]

yeah they might not sponsor you @crisp berry

im still ok

[quaint bolt]

You don’t need sponsorship if you’ve got a Canadian work permit

Which you should have anyways

[sand pendant]

they'll just link it to your original account so not worth reappying

[ivory ocean]

LC

Usually it’s graphs but I had a damn trie question

Which is up there with DP for things I hate

[sand pendant]

Also are you from canada? That's probably why you got rejected as don't think amazon us sponsors canadians

[vernal furnace]

yeah they don't^ think last year the status said "redirected to Canada" for me (or was that microsoft can't remember, one of the 2 at least said that)

[plush flume]

I am kinda in a weird position where I live and study in Canada but am a us citizen (was born there). Makes thing so complicated, anyone got some experience like that

[ivory ocean]

What’s hard abt it

You’re American citizen, don’t need sponsorship

Boom solved

[fickle ivy]

methinks its auto

[past comet]

Oracle released a bunch of positions, Database, Corporate Architecture etc...

https://eeho.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1/requisitions/preview/175760/?keyword=Software+Engineer+Intern&location=United+States&locationId=300000000149325&locationLevel=country

[sinful locust]

systems sounds like good exp

[crisp berry]

Oracle is also US university students only

pain

[crisp berry]

yes

ok hopefully i get oa for the vancouver one

is Microsoft gonna make a posting other than the neurodiversity one at some point

[fickle ivy]

soon hopefully

[earnest hatch]

Depends on the listing, some explicitly say Sophomore/Junior

[sick oar]

oracle reached out to me lol

[rugged knoll]

Does Capital one OA require last 4 of social security?

[quaint bolt]

That used to be the case for a bit but not anymore

Amazon US posted on our job board for this fall and a friend got an offer for Seattle too

She’s Canadian

[sand pendant]

for which team?

[sick oar]

no specific team, just university recruiting

[sand pendant]

gotcha was it recently?

[sand pendant]

yeah probably in August

[sick oar]

yesterday

[sand pendant]

what is their process like?

[sick oar]

idk i didn’t apply they are just trying to recruit me

[crisp berry]

is the friend WaterlooWorks too

cuz sometimes its different

for example bloomberg only does fall internships on waterlooworks i believe

[quaint bolt]

Yes

Yeah Bloomberg’s off-season is only for Waterloo from what my friend told me but don’t think Amazon’s like that

[crisp berry]

that's not what i mean

[quaint bolt]

?

[echo lynx]

Hey people

[oak kite]

Is this for Karat?

I just finished my Karat. Is completing 3 questions okay?

[ivory ocean]

????

there are only 3 problems

what do you mean is it okay

[sinful locust]

yo

LMAO

[ivory ocean]

hi

[sinful locust]

yo

[ivory ocean]

I was happy to get 2 today

1 non-optimal

CUZ FUCKIN TRIE

[crisp berry]

how hard was the oa

[ivory ocean]

really not too bad

I did it once and did the redo

[crisp berry]

like is it just graph sutff

[ivory ocean]

both times I just kept doing stupid ass mistakes

like I spent 10 min tracking down an error

and it wasnt even an error

[steady crow]

does palantir consider f1 students?

[ivory ocean]

They were passing in a number as part of a string and I never even converted it to an int

so I was getting weird ass "numbers" printed like 935710020917452

when it should be like 50 lmao

and since python is fine with += for strings, no error

[fickle drift]

what was the trie problem

just curious

[ivory ocean]

Don't really wanna say just cuz there are some recruiters in here

But I will say it was essentially counting the number of times sub-strings of a string were used

so an analogous problem is given strings made of words, report each subword's use

[alphabet, bet]

would yield: [alphabet: 1, bet: 2]

[ivory ocean]

I should say might be some

but it's random, i took it once and did the redo and got completely diff questions

I'm mad I made a dumb mistake on my first chance cuz the questions on that were wayyy easier

[south aspen]

karat doesn't care about optimal tho

[quaint bolt]

Whomst got Cit phone

[south aspen]

moi

[ivory ocean]

they said they do

[south aspen]

o rlly

[quaint bolt]

What’s your gpa

[ivory ocean]

they said "while we care about optimality, completing is more important"

[south aspen]

ig they changed from last year

[south aspen]

3.95 haha

[quaint bolt]

FUUUCCCKKKK

[ivory ocean]

don't forget karat doesn't even score it

they send a video to palantir

so it's really what palantir cares about

[south aspen]

given the OA they gave me

idt they care about optimal LOL

[quaint bolt]

I’m just gonna email Cit recruiters with akuna offer and hope they let me thru

[south aspen]

do u have the min gpa requirement

if u do then u should b fine lol

[quaint bolt]

No

[south aspen]

wb major gpa

[quaint bolt]

Basically all my courses are “ece” anyways so it’s not very diff

[south aspen]

oh icic

[quaint bolt]

I’m just gonna go around asking everyone who got phone

Or just email recruiters directly

[echo lynx]

Hey people.

Sorry, I was wondering if anyone has an idea of a great cold emailing template to use when reaching out to recruiters for an internship.

[final cobalt]

Pls gib job thenk^

[devout fractal]

wait oop there are recruiters in this channel?

[mystic depot]

theres a blog on the cscareersdev website about it.

[echo lynx]

Ah really?

[ivory ocean]

there might be, there are for other companies

[mystic depot]

i expect there is

[echo lynx]

Can you link me to it @mystic depot?

Like do you have the link to the blog?

[mystic depot]

lemme see if i can find it

https://www.cscareers.dev/blog/landing-software-engineer-interviews-through-cold-emailing

[echo lynx]

Thanks a lot @mystic depot

[quaint bolt]

Because

[mystic depot]

here

[ivory ocean]

I know a guy, @cyan garnet , got his internship by being in here. A recruiter contacted him from this server

[quaint bolt]

Tryna see if 3.5 really is the cutoff

[mystic depot]

did u do the karat interview today? is that what u were talking about before

[echo lynx]

Hey brother, is it comfortable for you if I can dm you bro?

[quaint bolt]

No it’s very uncomfortable

[hallow scroll]

[echo lynx]

You fine with a little dm @queen raven?

[prime lily]

When would you ideally hit up a recruiter

Like after you get ghosted or something

[quaint bolt]

Right after you’ve applied

[prime lily]

Ahh okay

Do you get noticed I assume

So

[quaint bolt]

Yes

[echo lynx]

Sorry @mystic depot, I couldn't find the exact template

Do you refer to the template from the email that was embedded?

[mystic depot]

well there is an example screenshot but tbf there is no specific template

[echo lynx]

ah ok ok

[ivory ocean]

Yes

[echo lynx]

but do you have some strong template or anything that gets a more probable reply from an recruiter though @mystic depot ?

[mystic depot]

Nice hopefully u did alright. is a karat interview just a video? i tried to find an example online but i wasn't able to lol

[cyan garnet]

i wanna be clear no recruiter contacted me

some person who started a startup gave me an internship

[echo lynx]

What do you think @mystic depot?

[quaint bolt]

Just git gud

[mystic depot]

nah i dont have a specific template its kinda dependant on what u wanna ask or talk to them about?

like do u wanna talk about working there, ask them to look at your resume or something else entirely.

[coarse marten]

@quaint bolt will you participate to today's contest

[mystic depot]

my advice is to just keep it formal, ask whatever questions u have and then email them with their company email address, not through linkedin

[coarse marten]

In 7h

Or you will date

[mystic depot]

what contest is happening?

[echo lynx]

ok ok, that sounds great then.

[coarse marten]

Lc contest

[echo lynx]

Thanks a lot @mystic depot

[uneven sand]

ill do contest

if i remember

[coarse marten]

I will ping you probably

[mystic depot]

ngl i never done one, perhaps i will. 7 hours from now is tough for me on uk time tho

[coarse marten]

If I'm not too tired

It will be at 3:30 am for me

[mystic depot]

[coarse marten]

Same

[ivory ocean]

Video call and solve problems

[mystic depot]

ah okay, ngl i got hella confused cause i watched this random youtube video of a guy just talking with himself

[ivory ocean]

Hahahahha

Yeah no you talk to a person

[devout fractal]

recruiter if ur in here, please reach out for firmware or swe interns

[devout fractal]

oh ic

[thin prawn]

did a google recruiter reach out to anybody here?

Im scared to answer them cuz im not rdy yet

for summer 2023

[devout fractal]

ik a guy not in the server who was reached out for summer '23

he had his final last week iirc

[oak kite]

Oh I finished the third one the very last second so I wasn’t sure if there was more

[thin prawn]

bruh im fucked

if i get interviewed rn-august im gonna bomb it for sure

[oak kite]

Study hard

😀

you got this!

[thin prawn]

thats literally what im doing

thanks bro appreciate it

[south aspen]

can someone teach me how to grind leetcode

that doesnt mean im good lol

[thin prawn]

neetcode.io

[thin prawn]

and just follow the list

[south aspen]

hm okok

nope

whats ane xampl

*an example

[thin prawn]

amazon ig?

[south aspen]

i only did amzn

oh

i dont count amzn as lc heavy though

[sinful locust]

Hi

[south aspen]

hi

[sinful locust]

You are good

At LC

[south aspen]

...

no

[sinful locust]

I am not

[south aspen]

i cant even calculate

time complexity properly

[sinful locust]

Do zetamac

[thin prawn]

im not either bruh

[sinful locust]

I mean time complexity sometimes is hard

[south aspen]

fuck zetamac

[sinful locust]

For DP ones

[south aspen]

for backtracking it's fucked

[thin prawn]

bro ion even know some lc concepts and im a rising junior

[south aspen]

i got to a shitty school lol

[sinful locust]

For backtracking just think of how many choices you make at each step

Times the number of steps

[thin prawn]

extremely shitty

[sinful locust]

Choices == recursive calls

[south aspen]

probs 2nd lowest tier in my country

[sinful locust]

A lot of it is self confidence

[south aspen]

oh that's a good way to put it

canada

[sinful locust]

If you keep bringing yourself down you wont learn as effectively

[thin prawn]

nah same i go to a shitty lib arts school

[south aspen]

why does that give me

harvey mudd vibes

is that the name of the school

[thin prawn]

nah

[south aspen]

it's a lib arts school but there's bare stem graduates

[thin prawn]

bruh i wish i went to harvey mudd lmaoo

my school is really bad

cs especially

[quaint bolt]

Yooo

Fellow Canada land mans

Wagwan

[south aspen]

nize shit

*nize it

[quaint bolt]

Are we talking about lc prep

[fickle ivy]

where at

[quaint bolt]

Cit do be very lc heavy

Like med-hard

[fickle ivy]

citadel?

or citi

[quaint bolt]

But they’re free to ask whatever

Citadel

[fickle ivy]

whats the

time frame for their OA

like how long do i have to do it

i got it like 2 days ago

[quaint bolt]

Idk like 2 weeks

[fickle ivy]

ok

[quaint bolt]

Also they tend to grill you on your resume so know what you put their well

[fickle ivy]

bro you got this

if you go to an LAC you are already prob p smart

[fickle ivy]

o

how hard

do they grill u

[quaint bolt]

Depends on the interviewer

[fickle ivy]

like is it languages they'll rlly ask abt

[quaint bolt]

In general if you can comfortably answer meds and some hards you should be good tho

[fickle ivy]

okey

just know your resume

[quaint bolt]

Maybe

[fickle ivy]

and lc

[quaint bolt]

Or OS

Or sys design

[jolly jewel]

Anyone know if GitHub Student Developer Pack offers the grokking the coding interview for 6 months free?

[plush girder]

they offer educative subscription

which means yes iirc

[ivory ocean]

You did the karat one?

Or are you talking abt something else

Cuz karat you can’t even work til the last second, there’s a person who stops you at time limit and talks to you abt how you did

[oak kite]

I’m referring to the Karat for Palantir

And yeah I finished the exact moment time was stopped

And got the right output

[south aspen]

im fucked then. i forgot everything that happened on my resume

[oak kite]

uh I would say the questions are implementation heavy for sure

[south aspen]

im rdy to fail palantir too

[oak kite]

Like I think I wrote 30-40 lines of code for the third question

[south aspen]

binary search should prep u well then

[sinful locust]

Or just Timed LC in general ig

Is it 3 questions in 60 minutes?

Or what’s the time

[sinful locust]

get off discord and grind

[oak kite]

I think there’s no question limit. It’s as much as you can get done in 45 minutes

[sinful locust]

Oh what the

[fickle drift]

the website binarysearch?

[sinful locust]

Bruh I can’t speedrun LC

What’s a good amount of question to get done, like > 2?

[oak kite]

I have no idea

That was my first experience

[sinful locust]

Gl

[oak kite]

I imagine doing 3 is fine?

[sinful locust]

Yeah

15 min per question is rlly good

[south aspen]

u only need to do 2

3 is perf

[south aspen]

ye

[oak kite]

My interviewer said it’s as much as you can get done so I wasn’t super sure if there were more questions

[south aspen]

maybe there are but

from past posts last year

2 is enoguh

[weak tulip]

When people say LCA what do they mena

[south aspen]

lowest common ancestor

[ivory ocean]

Yeah my issue for Palantir’s karat was being too slow

It’s like huge things you gotta write, I had a 60 line one

Cuz I also had to write a DFS just to format the output exactly how they wanted it

Even though the problem statement said “output this object”

[sinful locust]

tf

60 line solution

are you sure you arent just being super inefficient

[ivory ocean]

I returned it so then the interviewer was like “cool, can you format the output to look like the test case”

And I said sure I guess

[ivory ocean]

Like 20 lines to build the trie and return it

Which was the problem statement

Then I had to DFS to print properly, with probably 5+ lines of random operations to format the string exactly how they want

So idk just be aware of that to y’all

You don’t have to return the object that the function is said to return, you need to also format the print perfectly

[sinful locust]

yeah i feel that

[mystic depot]

i literally built my first ever trie like a couple weeks ago

[crisp berry]

how long after applying did you guys get the karat

i applied today

[south aspen]

unfortunately u wont get the karat until i get my offer

😎

[quaint bolt]

[crisp berry]

😔

[prime lily]

If you have a referral you think contacting a recruiter also is necessary?

[crisp berry]

anyone hear back from grindr

like internship wise

[sinful locust]

i mean recruiter reachouts > referral lmfao

[idle pulsar]

yeah each point you miss is -$10k from your tc

[sinful locust]

No not really

[sinful locust]

Not sure about this

[sinful locust]

they are

Not necessarily

they can push you into getting an OA

yes they can lmao

Referrals can as well

yes but its not a guarantee

a recruiter reaching out is a higher chance

Some places referrals are guaranteed passing initial resume screen

Idk

i mean from what people know on here

consensus is that recruiter > referral

interesting

if ur really gonna be like that just get both

lol

Yep very easy to do

well nothings easy

just grind and get off discord

Likewise

Every two weeks should be to begin with

Cant just do it every day

[uneven sand]

how is a referral better than a recruiter reachout

[sinful locust]

Youll probably get flagged by Block

[uneven sand]

referral doesn't guarantee anything, recruiter reachout means they want to give you an interview

[sinful locust]

You submit ID tho

I would avoid spamming it

Unless you dont really care about block

[sinful locust]

yeah lol

It works, but its not recommended to do every day

Lol

also if you reach out to a recruiter

higher chances theyll get u something

I see

I know someone that spammed like 10 times in one day

Till they got 846

or something

[south aspen]

anyone wanna binary search

im tired of doing this by myself

[sinful locust]

Cringe , just apply normally, earn it

[sinful locust]

shut up kid

They got flagged or something

[sinful locust]

Ben simmons lookin aaaaa

[crisp berry]

how do u even reach out to a recruiter

[sinful locust]

You illegally obtain their email

[crisp berry]

i saw the shit you guys were posting about trying to webscrape and guess people emails

that sounds kinda weird

[sinful locust]

It is

[crisp berry]

if someone guessed my email id be creeped out as fuck

[sinful locust]

Just apply normally and earn it

[crisp berry]

and blacklist them forever

[uneven sand]

doesn't recruiter reachout mean when a recruiter reaches out to you lol

[sinful locust]

Yeah

[uneven sand]

why would you need to illegally obtain their email

[sinful locust]

I thought he meant when you reach out to recruiter

[uneven sand]

they're emailing you

oh

[crisp berry]

how do i make recruiter reach out to me

[uneven sand]

yea that's hit or miss

and really depends on company

How are you guys doing so many codesignals? I thought u needed a company to request of code signal assessment in order to take it

[uneven sand]

[astral dew]

Anyone got same Amazon connects 👀👀

[frozen minnow]

When do we get OA once we apply salesforce

What is the process like

[near swallow]

If you’re gonna ping mods for a user harassing dont make it stupid shit, you on here calling recruiter reach outs cringe. Stop being so aggressive

@sinful locust you too chill

Why you deleting your comments, just makes shit worse

If u ping me regarding this i will timeout i got no time for excuses from any shit heads rn

[fickle ivy]

[near swallow]

Pinches pendejos

what happens if i apply to this

[earnest hatch]

Kirb cussing in Spanish, time-out

[crisp berry]

(india summer 2023 google internship)

[fickle ivy]

well do you live in india

[crisp berry]

no

[fickle ivy]

well 💀

[crisp berry]

🇨🇦

[fickle ivy]

idt you'll get it then lmao

and it'd be a waste of your time

[crisp berry]

what if i have indian citzenship

[fickle ivy]

then get rid of it

also you might get it

but why would you wanna live in india for a summer

source: am indian

[crisp berry]

ok i dont have indian citizenship

india doesnt even allow dual citizenship

[earnest hatch]

Personally just wait for summer Google to come out in your location. I think India Google would be more competitive and harder to get into.

[crisp berry]

unfort

[fickle ivy]

i think i might have this

im not sure

[fickle ivy]

unironically true

[stark basin]

I, for one, would NOT want to go up against Indian googlers
would be beaten so bad

[solar axle]

I did it in python

[coarse marten]

@uneven sand don't forget

Lc contest in 2h30

Time to take a nap mr vexor

Grind never stops

[fickle ivy]

bruh lc contest 😦

thanks for reminder @coarse marten

[coarse marten]

@hearty river

Don't forget mr matud too

[fierce lion]

Matudi

[weak tulip]

Are you actually only supposed to complete 3 out of 4 questions for codesignal and then finish test asap

[hallow scroll]

yeah but make sure you finish 1,2,4

you can skip 3

finishing 1,2,4 gives you at least an 800, which is good enough for most companies

[thorn spear]

nice

tryna meet ppl tomorrow

[cyan garnet]

wtf apply for it

if the job doesnt require you to be in india then why wouldnt u lmao

but its probs more competitive

[old stratus]

Apple just posted an early career position. Is that for 2023?

[cyan garnet]

most likely I doubt they are hiring for 2022 now

[cyan garnet]

in person?

[thorn spear]

Yeah in SF

[cyan garnet]

god damnit

why is good stuff happening when I am not there

[ocean relic]

Is an 823 more or less good enough for any company with CodeSignal

Like will it be below the bar for any

Need to figure out if I need to do more CodeSignal fun 😭

[hallow scroll]

yeah youre good

the only companies that tend to need perfect scores are companies like databricks

[ocean relic]

is there like even a marginal difference between 823 to idk say 840 or something @hallow scroll if I wanted to go for DataBricks

[hallow scroll]

yes

[sinful locust]

damn really

rip matati

[ocean relic]

hmm okay might try it a couple times

[hallow scroll]

they simp for perfect scores pretty much or top school name

[hallow scroll]

[ocean relic]

well hopefully top school name helps

screw codesignal

[stark basin]

tf is a databrick

[sinful locust]

Its like westbrick but for data

[fickle ivy]

whats a top school for databricks

[sinful locust]

California University of Pennsylvania

[fickle ivy]

CUP

cupenn

cupeen

icupeen

icurpeen

i c ur peen

[ocean relic]

😾

[fickle ivy]

i've actually lost my sanity

[outer canopy]

Wait does time really matter more than trying to finish 3rd question

Or more specifically does time impact score

Or is it just less time looks better than marginal score increase

[fickle ivy]

wait so u can finish early

and get more points

on codesignal??

shee

[sinful locust]

lmao

[fickle ivy]

@sinful locust ^

[sinful locust]

Delete your account bozo

[sinful locust]

Yes

Time is part of your score

[fickle ivy]

like time left or

time per problem

[sinful locust]

Total time taken I think

When you get your final score

It has 3 factors

One of which is speed

[fickle ivy]

oh

what are the other two

[sinful locust]

Problem solving is one

Some other shit for the 3rd idk

yo

Those two are easy to get 100% on

[fickle ivy]

i see

[sinful locust]

If you just pass all the cases

Time is the weird one

[fickle ivy]

wait are there any like

hidden cases

[sinful locust]

Cuz its based on difficulty of the questions

[sinful locust]

I think Some are hidden but youll know if you passed thrm

[fickle ivy]

so ideally woudl the strat be like
solve 1 2 4, if you can't figure out 3 in like 2-3 mins then just end it?

[sinful locust]

No

I dont think that would help

Maybe actually idk

Just do q3 theyre not that bad

Its much better to answer all 4, I think it gives you a min score of 825 or something

[fickle ivy]

ho wlong do you think

1 2 4 take

and are they like ez ez hard?

or ez med hard

[sinful locust]

1 is free

2 is an lc easy

[fickle ivy]

okay

[sinful locust]

4 is an lc medium, usually a hashmap type q

[outer canopy]

3 is annoying always

[sinful locust]

3 can be kinda anything but usually not any data structures other than like array and string

[fickle ivy]

i see

4 is prob array too then rgiht

[sinful locust]

Ive gotten string manipulation, matrix manipulation, and class design qs for 3

[fickle ivy]

or a cache problem

[fickle ivy]

class design? 😳

[sinful locust]

4 is usually a hashmap type question

[fickle ivy]

so maybe smth like an LRU cache

[sinful locust]

Like design a class with these functions that can do x

[outer canopy]

String ones are pretty time consuming

[fickle ivy]

or LFU cache

do u have an example of p4 @sinful locust

do you think my school is good

enough

for meta/hft or no

okey

[sinful locust]

No

[fickle ivy]

hopefully hft too

strong math

[sinful locust]

Its usually just some sort of hashmap question

[fickle ivy]

not example per se* but like

is it more like

[sinful locust]

se*

sex

[fickle ivy]

centered around a hashmap

or do you have to like use a hashmap for an o(n)

sol

[sinful locust]

Which one

[fickle ivy]

can dm

[sinful locust]

I’m at an hft so I kinda know some of the schools people seem to come from

That is very true

[fickle ivy]

in my insta bio yes lmfao

[sinful locust]

I dont see it there

[fickle ivy]

but nobody is taking that much time to check

meh w/e

brown

[sinful locust]

Bro your school’s cracked

Youll be fine

[fickle ivy]

okay

anyone doing lc weekly?

[hallow scroll]

id say school name matters more when you dont have exp for unicorns and faang, once you get exp they dont care

[sinful locust]

I probably will

Yeah

[hallow scroll]

hft do care bout school

[sinful locust]

Hft cares forever

Unless you have other hft experience

[fickle ivy]

wait sm1 explain is there a big diff

between HFT and quant

cuz to my knowledge no but the companies can kinda do both right

i never considered like JS or 2s to be an HFT

[hallow scroll]

nah

[fickle ivy]

but like citadel sec does some HFT right

[hallow scroll]

I go to a shit school, ive heard back from a lot of unicorns

[sinful locust]

Yeah my internship at an hft is 70% hpsm

But mines kinda small

[fickle ivy]

@sinful locust do you go to hpsm?

[sinful locust]

No

[fickle ivy]

[fickle ivy]
