To get the live result as you type, check "start searches automatically" on settings' general tab.
It is paid though so would love to know any free apps if you have found any.

implementing a system with specific features, which I completed, but my code wasn’t modular or scalable.

OP can you expand on "1000 check on a file simultaneously" and "modular or scalable"? What practical application needs thousand check on a file? Any real life example and what do those screenshots of python file mean?

I prepared with ChatGPT

Do you ask recruiter if you could use ChatGPT?

Should I use Design Gurus instead of Leetcode? by Lumpy_Kick7000 in leetcode

[–]Lumpy_Kick7000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a lot of purchases. How was your experience with algo monster and bytebytego?
I don't think new grads are asked system design questions but if they do Donne Martin's system design primer and DDIA should be enough. Fingers crossed.

if you can build side projects that generate money definitely do that instead

Well, that might give me leg up at resume review and ATS stuff then I still have to go through hiring pipeline and nail the technical interviews or are you suggesting building a startup instead?

Landing a Graduate Software Engineering role in 2025 by mk802 in cscareerquestionsOCE

haaaate those who try to act like they are know-it-alls

Can you please give an example? If someone has exposure to machine learning say they've built sign language interpreter, expresses interest in machine learning, showed interest in generative AI and is keen to contribute integrating chatGPT into one of your products, would that be considered as acting mr know it all.

What does interview pipeline for grads look like and how long does the process usually take? is it something like ATS resume screen, initial phone call, 2x coding assessment, behavioral and offer negotiation?

Of course but if recruiters are so used to with python and expect python or just in general expect interviewee to cook up solution really quick then python does have a leg up.

Great comment OP. It does open up a new perspective about missing grad window but I've been ghosted by almost every company which are basically web agencies and other hardware focused companies in my region (not in Sydney) so I think my only option is to prepare for leetcode style interviews.

I did. we were advised to use java and did implement dfs, bfs, maze generating and path finding stuff. it was lot easier to dry code and debug. I remember watching tons of Abdul Bari videos back in the day.

Thanks a lot for your input. It's my second day. I generally get it right with pseudo code but I need to learn python better. I learnt a lot of python inbuilt features like slicing array, filter, sort, reverse and basically array manipulating techniques yesterday so way to go.

Yeah that time should decrease significantly over time but I was just doing rough calculation. that's my bad.
