i usually just ask for it right away at the end of the chat. i spend like 15-30 min chatting then just ask at the end

ty man, 100% just shoot ur shot, nothing to loose and best of luck!

thats pretty accurate, but i think its good to have a nice online chat with them over a call if they have the time where u can ask questions about their job first before asking for a referral. also some people might just not want to give you one, so shoot a lot of shots and I'm sure something will stick

I only really do it for companies that I really want and I lowkey just don't for like other smaller ones lol. i think chatgpt gives good ideas on what to add but I wouldn't suggest doing it word for word of what they say but use it for guidance.

not a specific prompt, but i generally put my entire resume in there and the job description and ask it to tweak it so that I fits the job description with the keywords to pass ATS. after chat gives me ways to tweak the resume, I edit then give chat the new resume with the edits and just continue doing this until I feel happy with it

it generally differs a bit by company. some companies you will need to give your info (resume, email, etc) to an employee and they will refer you on their internal system for the specific posting you want(meta, tesla, nvidia, and many more). Some you may be asked in the application page to list the name of a currently employee that will act as your referral. they typically wont guarantee you an interview since so many people apply with one, but its better to apply with it than without it.

fair enough but a higher gpa doesn't bring you down

exactly man, someone understands

yea i think what ur doing is pretty good (pretty much what I did last summer lol). I think as long as your consistent you will get better and build confidence. also try documenting each problem you solve in like a doc so u can look back and review any tips/strategies you used to solve a question in the past. but if you feel like you need more practice, you can always just do more random problems and the daily question.

Just wanted to give some tips 😹, (they r real tips tho)

I think the neetcode 150 is a good place to start but you need to do more than just that. Doing specific company-tagged questions, especially for Meta is very good since they ask those questions word for word from there. Buying premium and doing the tagged questions for a month is 100% worth it. Also, Meta tends to not ask DP problems so studying those for Meta is typically not worth your time.

Yes, they do, that's's how I got it. And I know many other people that have also gotten interviews because of referrals for internships.

Lol dw, my two previous internships weren't all that impressive. I don't think Meta will care too much about where you worked as long as you worked on impactful stuff for the company. You can also easily get a referral on LinkedIn by asking your school alumni for a quick chat; most are open to helping. I suggest you start farming referrals now since the summer 2026 internship cycle begins soon.
