Little shocked ngl, thought I did well but uhh I clearly suck at judging my performance lmaoo

north sparrow
#

did they give any useful feedback about the interviews? @mystic patio

the fuck

mystic patio
#

So kind of a waste of 3 hours, but oh well. My interviewers were cool ppl and had fun meeting them

north sparrow
#

yeah nah, I always push for direct feedback, that is some BS, why they do that

mystic patio
#

Yeah it sucks, always like to improve but nothing I can do with this email lol

north sparrow
#

she clearly sucks at email, put the signature twice

#

Do you think you did well on all parts (coding/case study/behavioral)?

mystic patio
#

Behavioral I aced for sure because my interviewer literally said “you did amazing” and we finished within 20 minutes so the rest of the 40 minutes was just us talking about capital one and her career. Case study was tough because my topic was cloud computing but my interviewer at the end said I found every error in the code and he was impressed with how much cloud computing knowledge I had as an entry level swe. Explicitly said I did well

#

Technical is where I messed up. I solved my design question perfectly but the coding question was rough for me. Definitely needed a lot of hints there and didn’t fully implement a solution (ran out of time)

Sorry for long text but yeah basically I felt like I did well overall but ig technical is weighed heavily

wintry pulsar
#

Nah it wasn't long, but yeah

#

I feel like they have a really high bar

#

I'm planning on using them just for practice for 2023 new grad roles KEKW

mystic patio
#

Lol idk man some people say TDP is a joke and other people think it’s challenging. It’s all perspective. It’s probably pretty easy I just suck at interviewing in general, but trying to get better at it over time

#

Did u not have the questions before hand?

#

The interview is the exact same for every single canidate lol

mystic patio
#

Which ones? Technical?

#

Yeah I had those

sinful bough
#

This is on u

#

They are all over leetcode discuss

#

Even the case and the behaviroal questions

#

are the same 🤣

mystic patio
#

Wtf

sinful bough
#

Yeah 9 of my friends have all got offers

#

and they dont even know what LC is

mystic patio
#

So everyone is just cheating now

#

Nice

#

Bruh that’s legit depressing to hear

sinful bough
#

Yea,

#

Litterally all the c1 new grads

mystic patio
#

Like I was sad before but now

sinful bough
#

there is a discord server

mystic patio
#

Yeah I’m done

sinful bough
#

and they give u the answer

#

when they know u have ur interview

#

its so stupid

#

LOL

mystic patio
#

What the actual fk

sinful bough
#

theres like 300 people in it or someshit

#

the offer is also really high tbh

mystic patio
#

Why didn’t anyone help yaboi out lmaooo

sinful bough
#

131k chicago, 160k nyc

#

bay also 160k

wintry pulsar
#

I think they changed the case study though, I never had to do the cloud stuff for my case study

#

for intern interview last year

sinful bough
#

It's eno chat bot right @mystic patio ?

mystic patio
sinful bough
#

Oh ok

north sparrow
mystic patio
#

sucks but thats life

north sparrow
#

yeah I dont usually do that shit

sinful bough
civic plover
#

capital one is 130k base + 10k bonus for nyc not 160k

#

but yeah idk why cap one reuses the same questions. they legit have a test bank of three questions for their tech

#

Cheating is cringe

wintry pulsar
#

I don't cheat, but tbh I don't see anything wrong in utilizing GlassDoor to get all the possible questions. If you pass the interview by using GlassDoor, you deserve the offer.

Capital One doesn't necessarily give the same questions, they do variations of it too.

121 base recurring +10k signing

#

For chicago that's mad decent

north sparrow
#

Chicago is definitely MCOL and reasonable at that

mystic patio
#

I mean…does Capital One realize people are literally cheating?

#

Seems odd to give out 6 fig offers like candy, assuming you weren’t dumb like me and knew the questions beforehand from that discord

#

And they don’t PIP either from what I’ve heard

sinful bough
#

All their engineers are paid actors who r stupid

#

Passing that technical without cheating is pretty difficulty

#

doesnt mean shit to actually perform at a job

sinful bough
#

They don’t deserve it if they can’t do a simple lc without cheating

cold depot
#

no one deserves anything

sinful bough
#

A lot of people deserve things

mystic patio
#

Now I get how ppl are passing

cold depot
#

thought he said it's simple lc

mystic patio
#

Who, me?

cold depot
#

monster

#

tbh im kinda being contrarian since i dont even know what the capital one questions look like

#

but doing actual swe work and lc are not relevant imo

mystic patio
#

Oh I definitely don’t agree that the technical is simple, especially if you haven’t seen the questions before

#

I’m not saying im some DS&A god but Ive done hundreds of problems at this point and still struggled with the Q’s because of the time pressure and it was a bit unclear tbh. Case study was supposed to be harder but I felt like it wasn’t bad

hard terrace
#

What was the question, so everyone can know now ?

mystic patio
#

Yeah capital one can suck me off. First question is a design question, so you need to implement a bank type of class with withdraw, deposit, transfer, and undo operations. Second question is basically add two numbers 2 from LC except this time you have 3 lists and capital one uses “BigInt” class to represent a linked list, like it’s their version of a linked list, it’s confusing. And then you also have to find the average for the 3 lists.

#

Have fun

wintry pulsar
#

They do deserve it if they get an offer

#

Because you still gotta explain everything well

sinful bough
#

You just have to paste in code that you pre drafted

#

You don’t deserve 100k for that

#

Other majors sweat their ass off and barely get 70-80

#

@wintry pulsar tbf had I known the questions beforehand it wouldn’t have been hard at all to understand the questions and then pre-plan an explanation

wintry pulsar

#

Nothing wrong with pre-plan, it's Capital One's fault they choose to have not much of a question bank. You still gotta know your coding stuff because they give variations of the problem too. And you still gotta pass the case study along with the behavioral.

cold depot

isnt leetcode basically just one long pre-plan
