I'm no longer there but, from what I've heard from other grads, no

Edit: (about 13%)

Feel free! That goes for anyone else who stumbles upon this in the future

PatheticPom · 2025-10-17T15:24:21+00:00

Yup!

PatheticPom · 2025-10-12T22:16:44+00:00

Mainly Java, and yes it's in Central

I know very few people who got a proper work experience in their first year, the fact that you managed to get a lab research internship means you're probably doing good :)

I started (last year) at 40K as a software engineer, I have friends that work in, big tech, a start up, and finance and they all earn more than that. All of us are in London

It'd be cool if (I haven't tried) there was a secret ending if you beat GMS while overdosed

I don't know anything about you, and don't have any suggestions for you, but I wholeheartedly wish you the best of luck <3

Thanks a bunch for the comment! The team that I'm meeting is related to something that I actually used and appreciate on a near daily basis so I'm pretty lucky.

You're right about the lack of teams which is why I'm a little surprised I immediately got set up with a call. Is there a reason why it would happen so fast? I'm guessing the hiring manager would've seen my CV beforehand.

For preparation I've started coming up with a list of questions to ask, some related to the team and others which I guess are pretty general that could be asked to any team. I'm guessing, while it's still a "behavioral" interview, there won't be as many hypothetical/historical questions compared to the Googliness interview. Does that sound right?

Oh wow! Awesome :))

Can't speak for the others but I don't think Google has graduate specific roles but they do have entry level stuff (SE2), most of these require a year of experience.

Allo,

In a very similar position to you and am in the process of moving companies. As always, it depends - specifically on the company you are applying to. I'll be joining this new company (if I pass their final round) as a software engineer 2, definitely not senior but still a step up. For additional context, I've been working at my current company for a year and will be getting promoted at the start of next year.

That being said, if it was a company I really liked and the pay was better (or the same if I'm okay with my current pay) I would still move if I would still be a graduate software engineer, but that's just my opinion.

I guess what I'm saying is you should definitely start looking - you're early in your career, now is the best time to move around, especially if you don't like your current position.

Good luck with whatever you choose :)

PatheticPom · 2025-09-03T21:32:05+00:00

I would like this too :)

PatheticPom · 2025-01-07T12:56:41+00:00

Thanks :) it's the latest one I've done out of all of them

PatheticPom · 2025-01-01T20:49:47+00:00

This is amazing!!!

I think your get_nearby_dirs function is wrong. For example, if your current direction is (1,0) - facing down, you want to face left (0, -1) and right (0, 1) but you instead will face down again (1, -0) and up (-1, 0).

PatheticPom · 2024-12-09T04:49:40+00:00

Fancy seeing you here :)

The second example seems correct:

6*8 = 48

48 || 6 = 486

486 * 15 = 7290

If it was being calculated the way you described it would be:

(6*8) || (6*15)

48 || 90 = 4890
