misty snow Aug 1, 2025, 6:51 PM

#

frigid willow Aug 1, 2025, 6:51 PM

#

LC med or hard

lofty frigate Aug 1, 2025, 6:51 PM

#

it was like a med, but i was missing the last few lines and explained my logic in english

misty snow Aug 1, 2025, 6:51 PM

#

if u explained well and it was just a tough question then theres a chance

frigid willow Aug 1, 2025, 6:51 PM

#

frigid willow Aug 1, 2025, 6:52 PM

#

lofty frigate they change the questions like every week, it wont be the same

Was it LC tagged or novel

lofty frigate Aug 1, 2025, 6:52 PM

#

it was a modification of lc tagged

misty snow Aug 1, 2025, 6:52 PM

#

lofty frigate they change the questions like every week, it wont be the same

thats chill, good prep tho

#

isnt palantir tagged like 1 question?

#

at least in LC

lofty frigate Aug 1, 2025, 6:53 PM

#

sort by more than 6 months

misty snow Aug 1, 2025, 6:56 PM

Did u mess up because of time?

lofty frigate Aug 1, 2025, 7:16 PM

#

yeah i ran out before i could finish

misty snow Aug 1, 2025, 7:18 PM

#

it wasnt lru cache was it?

cinder mist Aug 1, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

misty snow it wasnt lru cache was it?

Usually it’s a dictionary question that wants you to find the maximum of something

#

Or tracking a specific item

misty snow Aug 1, 2025, 7:51 PM

#

are these in the tagged?

#

so its more of an array question than graphs?

cinder mist Aug 1, 2025, 8:51 PM

#

For FDSE, I’ve heard people getting these questions

frigid willow Aug 1, 2025, 8:59 PM

#

I got curve ball last time

#

wasn’t tagged

#

or standard LC tbh

#

Nah dev

fluid lotus Aug 1, 2025, 9:24 PM

#

Nah they are not

#

Im gonna be honest it isn’t looking good

#

They expect you to fully finish the question because the interviewer usually asks you to implement/talk through an edge case

ripe yew Aug 1, 2025, 9:53 PM

#

Yeah that’s what happened to me last year for intern p sure most cases it’s a reject

misty snow Aug 1, 2025, 10:06 PM

#

frigid willow Nah dev

swe diff for fdse im p sure, swe they r more lc oriented so they gonna throw more curve balls. fdse focuses more on the next round which is the sys design interviews (afaik)

halcyon swallow Aug 1, 2025, 10:16 PM

#

Fdse gives OA? How many problems did you have?

fluid lotus Aug 1, 2025, 10:20 PM

#

FDSE tech question is data based

#

SWE tech question is algo

#

Yes impl heavy

#

Better know how to filter and clean data

#

Yeah

#

Fdse is a scam

#

Only do it if you’re interested in exiting into pm or something less swe related

#

Most tech companies know fdse is not actual engineering

#

You’re gonna be weaker on your system architecture fundamentals

misty snow Aug 1, 2025, 10:26 PM

#

fluid lotus FDSE tech question is data based

mine said it would be algo

fluid lotus Aug 1, 2025, 10:26 PM

#

Switching is hard

#

Its gonna be a bunch of data you’re gonna have to use a hashmap thats p much 90% of the question

#

That’s what its been unless they changed it

#

Its consulting

zealous jasper Aug 1, 2025, 10:28 PM

#

ig with industry shifting fdse is gonna be more valuable than swe ngl

#

how you deal with customer, how you apply stuff and more...it’s gonna be more valuable in longer run imo

fluid lotus Aug 1, 2025, 10:29 PM

#

Idts

#

Yeah

#

There’s coding but it’s mostly De work

halcyon swallow Aug 1, 2025, 10:43 PM

#

fluid lotus FDSE tech question is data based

On the technical it says “Interviews generally include data structures and algorithms questions.” For FDSE… is it just the OA is more data related?

ripe yew Aug 1, 2025, 10:46 PM

#

zealous jasper ig with industry shifting fdse is gonna be more valuable than swe ngl

Yeah I agree with this unless you really wanna dive into technical know how’s

did u do the oa?

halcyon swallow Aug 1, 2025, 11:41 PM

#

misty snow did u do the oa?

No OA

ripe yew Aug 1, 2025, 11:58 PM

#

Ah that’s fair but in theory wouldn’t you be exposed to more different architecture doing fdse work

fluid lotus Aug 2, 2025, 1:07 AM

#

I wouldn’t say so FDSE is mostly integrating customer data into Palantir products

#

So you’ll have to build code to modify and clean it to use in the platform

#

And then build some sort of MVP to present to client

#

Prev interns

#

Lots of work with pyspark, pandas, typescript and python

#

Some SQL

#

Yeah would not do it over any serious big tech swe offer

#

Prob only over Amazon

ripe yew Aug 2, 2025, 2:56 AM

#

fluid lotus Yeah would not do it over any serious big tech swe offer

Hmm would you say that the work is more consulty in that matter?

fluid lotus Aug 2, 2025, 4:06 AM

#

Well yes thats the role

gentle vault Aug 3, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

lol fwiw my fde internship was strictly building something entirely new and no DE since i said I didn't want to do it, but yeah the bigger upside of the job is client interaction, don't do it if you want to be strictly SWE
