Why Pronouns shit captured US ? I don’t see this anywhere else
Uber > Meta > Google > Amazon
I have Uber offer and G reject
Uber is easiest or hardest?
Agree Albertsons is top, but getting team match for Albertsons Labs is impossible.
Albertsons Labs solved the Traveling Groceryman problem last year
I am now afraid to ask: what is the joke with Albertsons?
It's hard to rank them. For example, Meta asks relatively easy (and known) LC questions, but they expect almost perfection. So if you do their top 100 questions, there's a decent chance you'll get questions you remember. But if you don't, it's hard. And then you have companies with inconsistent hiring processes, where you'll get a lot of contradicting data points. And of course, you kinda get biased by how well you did. In my case, I was interviewing with Meta, Twitter, and Uber. I'd rank the difficulty as Uber > Meta > Twitter, but I actually did the best on the Uber interview (LC was hard + medium in one round, and a long hard in another; phone screen was also LC hard).
How did you prepare, in terms of LC grinding?
I did like 90 LC (10 easy, 50 medium, 30 hard), top 50 Meta and the rest were kinda random.
Which offer did u get ? Or still trying . All the best either ways
Jane street > citadel securities > hrt > jump trading > google > meta > Nvidia
Are you including quant researcher for HFTs in this ranking?
You went with nvidia?
For me it has been Google > meta > amazon > apple > microsoft > atlassian > random startups
I would agree.
Is Atlassian actually pretty easy? What’s the best way to prepare for it? Or what questions to do?
Atlassian > Coinbase > Amazon > Microsoft > GitHub > Bolt
Easy to Hard or Hard to easy?!
Hard to easy
Atlassian is hard?
One person said hardest other person said easiest, so you decide lmao
Best case: O(1) Worst case: O(n^n)
Biased question to an extent. What’s your parameter for easy? Did it have to result in a job offer?
based on peoples experience, if there are 200 datapoints we can get a statistically good sample of blind people (not controlled for swe vs non swe or year of interview)
Ok I see all these comments about Albertsons is this just a big joke about a grocery store?
Dude, albertsons is no joke, the highest TC, most prestige, unmatched WLB, its got it all
