There's 3 rounds:

  1. Object Oriented Design Case: This is some business case where you'll get some buggy code. You will have to identify the error and find an optimal way to solve the business problem. This is much more of a tech consulting style case so it shouldn't be too bad overall but know your basic business and maybe have ideas on how you can leverage some data capital one collects to market one of their products better

  2. Technical Round: Pretty easy in my opinion its not bad at all, just practice the problems commonly asked by C1. This is also tied to some business aspects but you're not required to explain

  3. Behavioral: No explanation

#

I will say its much easier to trip up on the object oriented design than the technical

full basalt
#

in that order?

winter gale
#

for me it was in that order

#

with a 1 hour break after technical

#

so 4 hours total but only 3 hours interviewing

hollow atlas
#

was the lc from C1 tagged

winter gale
#

also finished behavioral early

winter gale
#

also idk what language you guys use

#

but Python always my go to

hollow atlas
#

ye python on top

full basalt
#

wait what language is the case design in? whatever you want?

winter gale
vapid plover
winter gale
#

its not exactly leetcode style

#

its just a word problem but with capital one applications

#

but if you do leetcode its ez

hollow atlas
#

ok bet

copper oasis
winter gale
#

if you have problems solving the technical you need to switch to graphic design

#

i'll say that

copper oasis
#

Lmao

winter gale
#

that was ridiculously easy

fallow gorge
#

im not even worried about the technical

winter gale
#

i wasn't either

fallow gorge
#

but lowkey worried for the case interview

winter gale
#

capital one cares a lot about how you prepare you answers

#

even in technical roles

hollow atlas
#

bet

copper oasis
#

Consulting interview huh

hollow atlas
#

glooks brodie @winter gale

winter gale
#

so before you answer, take a second to think and then make sure your response is categorized

#

so if you have 2 approaches to fix something start with

#

so i have 2 approaches, here is the benefit of one vs here is the benefit of the other

#

than move to lay them out

#

its practically a consulting case but swap the math word problem with some code

hollow atlas
#

im assuming the buggy code is easy to spot?

#

for case

winter gale
#

in mine it wasn't the easiest but i was also half asleep because I got a 9 AM et for powerday and I'm on the west coast

hollow atlas
#

damn 6 am is aids

#

hey better to schedule a bad time of the day than schedule for a later date

#

you do what you gotta do

hollow atlas
#

true

shadow harbor
#

im doomed bro, my recruiter is out of office

#

i didnt get schedule email

hollow atlas
#

u prolly 1st person to get offer

#

in cscd

#

What location did you pick @winter gale

winter gale
copper oasis
#

Do they give housing or nah

shadow harbor
#

they do

fallow gorge
#

Did they do any trivia questions for your resume? Like asking about javascript react and stuff

copper oasis
#

Nice

winter gale
#

the case and technical interviewers don't have access to your resume in fact

#

only the behavioral one

hollow atlas
#

so basically dont sell on the case and you get offer p much

copper oasis
#

What language is the buggy code in

winter gale
hollow atlas
#

bett

winter gale
#

I'd stay away from C++

#

but that's my opinion

copper oasis
#

Oh ok

shadow harbor
#

isnt case study only in python

winter gale
#

no they offer in C++

#

my interviewer asked me

shadow harbor
#

what else?

winter gale
#

but people told me to do it in python

winter gale
shadow harbor
#

are there yt vids going over case studies

#

for prepping

winter gale
#

you'll see a lot of stuff online for a normal capital one case interview

#

for their bankers and IBs

#

but not for technical cases

shadow harbor
#

😔

#

ty

#

is this case study

#

or tech

little stump
#

bros built diff

winter gale
#

I saw that question before interviewing

shadow harbor
#

lol

vapid plover
#

how long does it take to get an interview KEKW_RECESSION_EDITION

fallow gorge
#

time to prep 😈🔥😈🔥😈🔥😈🔥😈🔥😈🔥😈🔥😈🔥😈🔥😈🔥😈🔥😈🔥😈🔥

#

@winter gale do you think i should do it asap or wait a week

winter gale
#

my biggest tip @shadow harbor is to sound extremely businessy in your explanations on the case

winter gale
#

you'll be fine

#

at the start of the case, they'll throw you a random scenario

twilit hound
#

whats the pay

winter gale
#

like my banking app currently does this and stores this data blah blah blah

#

and the interviewer will ask you some brain teasers

#

about how can we use technology to improve some process

#

or something

shadow harbor
winter gale
#

and make sure to layout not only the tech but the business impact

shadow harbor
#

bet

#

maximize profits

#

🔥

#

make c1 some money

winter gale
#

sure that's the best thing honestly

#

or reduce bottom line costs

frail tusk
winter gale
#

marketing is always a safe move too

winter gale
# frail tusk Wait why

idk i feel like python is a lot more friendly to the eyes when trying to find what's wrong

#

but just be me

dusty cedar
#

how would you recommend preparing for the business part of the interview?

frail tusk
#

Fair

winter gale
#

make sure to write down notes and ask clarifying questions when needed

#

if you ask a good question (capital one is infamous for not giving you full info straight in the question), they will applaud you for it

shadow harbor
#

bet bet

#

should i also ask them what they do in their work?

night ibex
#

this was not tip right?

shadow harbor
#

to desmonstrate interest

hollow atlas
#

bro dropping the sauce rn 🔥

shadow harbor
#

this is tip

winter gale
night ibex
#

damn congrats

winter gale
#

introduce themselves

#

at the start

shadow harbor
#

oh okay

winter gale
#

so at the end you'll have time but I don't think it matters

#

the case will take up most of the time

shadow harbor
#

so dont ask fake questions, just ask the necessary questions to solve the interview

#

?

winter gale
#

yes

shadow harbor
#

alright alright

winter gale
#

so if you absolutely need a clarifying question thats great

@winter gale what's the pay/offer from mclean location? 61/hr + housing?
