There are so many people going to the career fair that instead of actually having conversations with recruiters, the most optimal thing you can do is just scan as many QR codes as you can. The recruiters obviously don't take any conversation you have into mind because they probably have 50 of them a day. Thats the reason why they have QR codes in the first place.

I genuinely think that the most optimal thing to do at a career fair is to not talk to any recruiters and scan all the QR codes you find.

Received my return offer letter for Amazon, but I am currently in team matching for Google. Chances are that I will not be matched before my deadline for Amazon, but I would much rather work for Google. They specifies that extensions are only for extenuating circumstances, so do I just sign for Amazon and get blacklisted if I want to renege???

CS student with Trading/Fintech SWE and Cybersecurity internships. I seem to not be getting many leads with my current internship hunt (around 170 applications). I'm targeting some of the bigger name brand companies but no luck with even an OA.

I think partially this is the case that whatever AI model & prompt the recruiters are using to parse through resumes is tagging my resume as "not T20". I've been comparing my resume to some people I know from better universities and we all have identical skills/experience, but they seem to get a lot more warm leads then I do. The imposter syndrome is kicking in real bad... Trying to be proactive and reach out to recruiters but it's been pretty miserable.

Wishing anyone in a similar position the best of luck in this internship hunt.

Are these worth anything? Obviously a resume doesn't show hours worked or pay, but does a genuinely unknown startup offer benefits on a resume? I'm able to take a couple that are 5 hours a week and remote and I just want to know if this will help.

Will Google NG team matching this year be as tough as interns? I know they're passing a bunch of people through to team matching for interns, and I'm wondering if it's the same for new grad.

Hi everyone,

I have an upcoming technical interview for the SWE Intern role at Snowflake and would like to hear from anyone who has interviewed recently.

What kind of DSA questions were asked, and how difficult were they?

Any insights into the interview format, preparation tips, or recent experiences would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Did anyone get in, barely seen people post about this?

Applied and did my OA like a month ago and it’s been a month and status is still screen, does anyone know how long I’m gonna keep waiting? Also can I have multiple screen statuses for various roles at the same time?

I made a very bad mistake on my end. I thought the interview was in pst, not est, I forgot to reread the email. Showed up and only realized at the wrong time. Is it gg?

Has anyone interviewed for Amazon’s Summer 2027 SDE internship in the U.S. yet? What did the interview format look like?

Curious how many rounds there were, how much was coding vs. behavioral/Leadership Principles, and how difficult the coding questions were. Anything you’d recommend focusing on while preparing?

Would appreciate hearing about your experience. Thanks!

anyone get the live interview invite after hirevue yet?

Hey I just finished my interview. I'd love to hear what you guys think about my results.

Round 1: I got a LeetCode medium-hard the interviewer emphasized quite a few times that this was a tougher problem than usual. It was a graph-based DFS problem, and I got to a solution towards the end. We kind of ran out of time, but it wasn't the most optimal. He did say he liked my approach, and I wasn't able to get to the follow-up questions. However, he emphasized that he wasn't looking for the most optimal solution, but rather a good functioning solution instead. He said we went a little over time and didn't really say all that much besides the fact that he liked my approach, he saw exactly what my thought process was, and I used recursion to solve it instead. The interviewer mentioned he liked the way I explained things, and my code made sense to him.

Round 2: I got a LeetCode medium. And this time, I solved it perfectly. I mentioned the brute-force solution, and then I went into the solution. I solved that out, and I myself realized it wasn't the most optimal. Then I created the most optimal solution on the spot as well and explained it very well. The interviewer said I was great at explaining my thought process. My time complexity was the most optimal solution, and he said he wouldn't really change anything about the code. I solved his follow-up question. He said I had a great answer to that, talked about time complexity, and got his questions correct.

I'd love to know what you guys think about my chances to get to team matching.

Anyone else got the Doordash update for entry level swe? Is this a good sign or just a normal update?

Curious about how valuable SWE internships at lesser-known unicorns are in terms of resume value. By unicorn, I mean a startup valued at over $1 billion.

I'm also curious about Aven specifically. Has anyone heard of this company?

Hello, does anyone have experience taking this? It's administered through HackerRank and has five questions labelled "Micro Services", "Problem Solving", and "REST API".

Hi guys!

I was planning to go to GHC this year but unfortunately it was cancelled a few days ago.

With flights and hotels booked, I have just decided to visit LA and SF anyway, in hopes of networking with senior engineers, attending tech events and maybe even ODSC (free).

Some background on me: I am in my 4th year of computer engineering undergrad, have data analyst and data engineering experience. Don’t require US visa sponsorship. Looking for FT roles starting Jan literally anywhere in the US, with priority as California/Seattle.

Any leads on events for Oct 24-31. Or If anyone would be down for a coffee chat pls dm!

This has been a few very stressful days and while
many alternatives are being planned being students, I was hoping to meet people in industry at GHC who could give advice.

Does anyone have alpha on the latest mechanize interview process? Heard they had a puzzle/math final round and was curious if anyone knew about / had gone through this.

Hello, I got an invite for Goldman Sachs SWE Summer Analyst Superday, and they the interviews cover both DSA and AI-assisted coding. Did anybody take it yet? If so, how was it? I heard from a friend that someone who took it apparently got an LC hard for the DSA part, was that what ya'll got for those that took it? Thanks!

I saw last couple years, based on reddit posts, that it may be auto. But this year, the assessment is a different codesignal. Does that mean it's not auto?

The email for the assessment also said you don't need to complete all the steps. I got a 440/600, probably cooked right?
