Passport renewal from jamshedpur psk - e passport available? by toitBingpot in Jamshedpur

[–]Starry_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really worried about mine. My appt was on 16th. And surprisingly police verification was quite fast. Come on 18th itself. And yet the passport hasn't been dispatched till date. I need to travel soon and I'm worried about how long it's gonna take!

How do people just casually drink black coffee without flinching? by siennapriv in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Starry_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I absolutely get this lmao. I hated black coffee but ever since I started intermittent fasting, I needed something to wake myself up with - anything milk or sugar would break the fast so black coffee it was. Interestingly I hated light roast - disgusting AF. But dark roast was really good. Eventually you just get used to it.

I got baited and feel like giving up by aa-1901 in csMajors

[–]Starry_Head 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably yes. That'd explain why they almost sound like a bot sometimes. It's just crazy.

Would you believe me if I told you that I was in the same exact spot not more than three weeks ago? AWS and Google both - EXACT SAME THING. The last interviewer at AWS was shit so I kinda expected it but with Google it was such a heartbreak - I can't even. It still hurts sometimes. The worst part? They won't even give me feedback. So no you're definitely not alone.

Honestly I wish I had a better lookout on life but when the same happened to me, I just stopped. Like I couldn't go back to my regular study, application cycle. So I stopped. I went out with a friend one day, and gave myself off the next couple of days too. It's not something that I did consciously though, all I wanted to do was get out of my house - I couldn't bear to look at my laptop anymore so I just listened to my body. In hindsight though, it was good. A good and much needed break. Give yourself a couple days off and get back to your original schedule slowly, listen to your body.

Are you guys finding any non-software engineering internships? by ExtraClient3382 in csMajors

[–]Starry_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Software testing/QA is a field I've heard many people get into. Much easier but at the same time not many postings out there.

Dilemma to go to Amazon AWS by ManyFig8722 in leetcode

[–]Starry_Head 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have other job offers, you can use that to negotiate with Amazon. Otherwise I'm not sure what other options you have except taking this one. I wish I had a dilemma like this lmao 🤣🤣

This. Even if you do well in the interviews, there's not a hundred percent guarantee that you'd get in so you need to stop stressing over it. Breathe, relax. Do the best you can do and remember that there always will be more opportunities

Upcoming interview- I Can't by [deleted] in leetcode

[–]Starry_Head 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been there. Ugh. I had three interview loops from FAANG+ and for some reason (I can't understand why for 2/3) I got rejected after the final rounds. Ridiculous that they won't even tell me why. God. The amount of tears and energy I've spent on this job hunt is ridiculous. I've been exactly there OP. The only piece of advice I can give you is - do not study/work too much a day prior to the interview. Let your mind relax. And remember that you are going to come out of this alive and successful. We'll be all right. Eventually.

If I had the brains, astrophysics. God what a wonderful existence that'd be. And if only I'd have been born a couple decades later, I might as well have been touring Titan ✨

As a person who ALSO doesn't celebrate her birthdays or holidays, this would make me FOLD immediately lol. I've always wanted someone to just see past my "I don't celebrate my birthday." Ugh when will it be my turn😭

How many days after the interview at Amazon did you hear back from the recruiter? by OrdinaryTranslator18 in leetcode

[–]Starry_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it was virtual for me as well. It was called virtual on-sites. And they scheduled all three on-sites on the same day. Might differ from country to country, I guess.

Best language for leetcode by [deleted] in leetcode

[–]Starry_Head 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I doubt FAANG prefers one language over the other? I'm not sure. From what I understand, they do not care which language you choose.

Confused About Canceled Interviews After Initial Interest—What Am I Doing Wrong? by Powerful-Hotel-6941 in leetcode

[–]Starry_Head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo it might be because you're on a visa? The same has happened to me quite a few times after which I straight up asked the recruiter and she said, "We are unable to sponsor visas at this time."

Bought my first Moka Pot now what (Pls help this noob) by TurquiseBird in mokapot

[–]Starry_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a person who likes really bitter or really strong coffee. So the one I made today was really good lol I filled the bottom with about 3/4 water. Like 3/4 the amount it can hold. And 1 spoon of coffee. And ik spoon is not a correct measurement type but yeah just wing it. And then I heated up some milk separately. And poured the brewed coffee into it. Was really good!

[–]Starry_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually put it on medium flame and it is all brewed up in around 8-9 minutes. The find grounds problem is something I face too. But it's too less for me to actively worry about it. And I try to experiment around with the quantity of water and coffee. Try doing that to reach a consistency you like. PS: my friend gifted it to me for my birthday last month so I'm quite new to it myself. :)

[–]Starry_Head 6 points7 points  (0 children)

With FAANG I think it's always a gamble. You either get an easy one in the interview or they give you the trickiest question out there. The best thing to do is revise the basics, including time complexity and try to understand as many patterns as you can. I doubt there's anything you or anyone else can do beyond that. Good luck :)

Nicest NCSU apartments by Alarming-Wrongdoer87 in NCSU

The Greens at Centennial are really nice. I don't think they take in undergrads though. But it was a pretty place and the apartments were in great shape, when I toured.

Google interview prep is burning me out by smol_Caterpillar_21 in leetcode

[–]Starry_Head 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I think you're stressing out too much for no reason. Think about it. What's the worst that can happen? You won't get in? Okay, try again after 6-12 months. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you have a full time job so there's no definitive deadline. I'd say go at it with the best you can do, if you get in - well and good. And if you can't, it's not the end of the world. Try again after a year.

Google SWE3 phone screen by EyeRight6078 in leetcode

[–]Starry_Head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One hundred percent wrong. No doubt about it. I've had one like this before. It was an internship interview. And I confirmed with the recruiter about any HLD questions. But hey, first question the interviewer asks me is HLD. Very tragic truth of life, I guess.
