[agile gull]

[jovial terrace]

[agile gull]

have u interviewed with citadel in the past? if you don’t mind me asking

[jovial terrace]

havent applied. only applied to js cuz it's less focused on math/finance stuff

[runic fjord]

fuckkk congrats

im too gapped

if he aced i’d assume all of em

cuz i know people get rejected from final while acing all of em

[jovial terrace]

all 3 parts for phone + final (in each interview)

[runic fjord]

not as far as i know

he said its because he took a minute to figure out a bug in his program

so writing perfect code checks out

[jovial terrace]

yeah i talked to some ppl who passed phone with 2 but for final the bar is set really high u gotta be almost perfect

[strange knoll]

[jovial terrace]
