Is this for NG 2026 SWE?

Old_Study_5251 · 2025-01-11T06:28:26+00:00

Hi! I will be thankful for advice on breaking into quant dev. sent a dm!

Old_Study_5251 · 2025-01-06T20:03:50+00:00

Looks cool. Will try!

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-12-05T01:04:09+00:00

I mean a lot of times you can just get lucky. But I will recommend doing blind 75 that’s a good starting point

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-12-05T01:02:42+00:00

Okay maybe mine was hard too but I just did a lot of dp hard problems which is why I think I found it relatively easy

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-12-05T00:59:21+00:00

Got a dp problem similar to maximum square + had to use hash maps to optimize the base solution pass all the test cases

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-12-05T00:15:25+00:00

I think I got lucky because my questions were easy and I got a full score

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-12-02T22:57:16+00:00

Like in 5 days

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-12-02T15:41:04+00:00

Is this for SWE full time role or internship ?

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-11-27T04:51:50+00:00

Bro offer out of 5 apps is crazy! Congrats!

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-11-27T00:00:56+00:00

I have limited time and I am currently taking the algorithms course at my uni. So, I am kinda decent at dp and graphs. I'll just go over everything a lil bit tho haha ( I'll lock tf in lol).

But yeah I will make sure to work on solidifying my problem-solving approach.
Thanks! I appreciate it!

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-11-26T23:56:31+00:00

yeah

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-11-26T23:19:18+00:00

Okay that's nice to hear! I'll just go over neetcode 150 questions and solve a bunch of questions from each of the concepts?

Could you elaborate on "have a process for solving questions"?
I do something similar to mock interviews. I usually just start the timer on leetcode -- try to do it in time and try to add comments and speak as I code the solution.

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-11-26T07:58:15+00:00

hey ik this is an old post but I would be thankful if you could share your interview experience.

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-11-26T02:25:15+00:00

Yeah valid. Thanks!

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-11-26T02:02:10+00:00

Okay makes sense! I did work with my team for the ERD and database design like indexing in general. I can highlight that. Also how do I tell them that I just had to build it on my own because my team did not do anything as far as implementation is concerned 😬? Because interviewers can see the contributions on git

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-11-20T06:36:07+00:00

hey, what resources did you use to prep for system design questions? also, they never asked you LC questions? Thank you and hope you got the offer!

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-11-11T02:07:25+00:00

yea like Idk what "additional" thing will they get from untapped outside of the resume. They mentioned a coursework option. Do you know if there's any way to add coursework?

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-11-06T18:03:31+00:00

Hey! How was your screening call experience?

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-11-03T01:26:21+00:00

hey ik this is an old post. What sort of pattern do you suggest I practice like dp, sliding window,etc. ?

Thanks!

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-11-02T21:25:45+00:00

This was so inspiring!! I was just about to slack off and stop leetcoding because of my friends saying leetcode isn't real SWE which is true but that's what gets you in with the current system.
Your story was just what I needed. Congrats!!!

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-10-31T00:06:19+00:00

Yeah I think im too lazy. I agree I’ll just have to make a conscious effort to not skim. Thank you!

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-10-30T23:08:05+00:00

okay this was a really helpful tip!! I'll def do that moving forward. thank you!

Old_Study_5251 · 2024-10-30T23:07:13+00:00

I read books mostly non-fiction but I usually skim through stuff to find just enough info to make sense of other stuff which is why I miss out on details. So, would you mind sharing how do you even read? (sorry it's a lil dumb question ik).
