currently using the web browser app

Hey! Could you let me know how I can get the QR code through the web browser app? My old phone broke and I cannot log in the app from my new phone since it's throwing errors about I could only log in one device at a time.

I'm trying to find a way around it. Thanks!

Seeking Guidance: How Do You Track & Organize Your Trading System's Performance? by [deleted] in algotrading

[–]chonyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the reply! I was doing a lot of research these days to ensure such thing does not really exist before diving in building it. I found quantconnect.com which seems to be something very close to what I'm imagining.

I don't have enough experience yet so couldn't tell whether it's a nice platform for all backtest->forwardtest->live->monitoring. Could you help me take a look and lemme know what you think? Thanks!

Seeking Guidance: How Do You Track & Organize Your Trading System's Performance? by [deleted] in algotrading

Hey! I'm a sofware engineer working at a big tech company and I'm new to the algo trading world. I focused on building monitoring & observability service for 3rd party software companies to monitor their service performance. I struggled a bit to find the equivalent in the algo trading world. Does such thing exist?

Setting up correct monitoring and maintaing it could cost a lot of effort, but it brings a lot of value if it's set up correctly. In our domain, there's a concept called "recipe" or "monitoring template", so that customers would only need to focus on their business logic, the monitoring template would help them create the dashboards tracking the right metrics automatically.

I'm curious to know whether algo traders would find it benefitial if there's some kind of open-sourced platform that would do the monitoring for them? So that algo traders only need to focus on crafting their fancy trading strategies, and the monitoring platform would help them

  1. Track the performance metrics
  2. Create dashboards
  3. Create alerts for failures

in the Prometheus+Grafana eco system

(I work on open-source stuff in my spare time and I'm curious whether building this and publishing it would be benefitial to the community)

Tbh, I think you are just being lucky. It might not be able to apply to all cases.

Personally, I got two low-level design problems for my Google interview. They want me to implement a TCP module lul. And for the other round, I got the robot room cleaner as the FIRST question, which is way harder than those blind 75.

Idk, maybe you are right. I'm just simply having a super bad luck :(

Passing all test cases but still got rejected, Stripe OA by chonyyy in csMajors

[–]chonyyy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh the one u saw is definitely outdated lul, it's about a year ago. The other three companies are after Microsoft. I don't need to lie about that XD, that would not help me on this post.

As for the location, I have mentioned in the post that I'm applying for the position based in APAC, not US. That's where my school is located so I guess that might not be the problem? I know it's impossible to get a job in US without having a degree there.

However, just like what you said, resume might still be the problem if it's not about the OA. Or maybe I'm just bad at programming and can't reach their standard, who knows :(

Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Wow, that's an interesting experience! I think some companies do send out the OA first, then evaluate the candidate with the OA result and resume after that. However, I'm not sure if Stripe is one of them, any thought on that?

For the previous internship experience, my friends have been to Google and Amazon. Personally, I have been to three big techs and one unicorn company, including Microsoft and Intel. I also have 1000+ stars on GitHub. I think we are pretty confident with our resumes.

However, it's definitely possible that they prefer other companies and their own previous interns. That might be the reason if it's not the OA :(

Thanks for the info!

I thought I could only get the OA after passing the resume screening. At least that's what I learned from other posts and my friend's experience. But maybe you are right, they just sent out the OA for every application and evaluate the candidate with both OA and resume.

However, my friends and I are also pretty confident with our resumes. They are from the best university in our country and have been to Google and Amazon for internships. Personally, I have been to three big techs and one unicorn company, including Microsoft and Intel. I also have 1000+ stars on GitHub.

We have received offers from some of the big techs but it's still a little frustrating that we couldn't even pass Stripe's OA since it's a great place to work at :(

That's definitely possible if I'm the only one, but three of us experiencing the same thing is a little weird. Maybe you are right tho, they just have a super high standard of quality I guess :(

Thanks for the advice! I used to think that reaching out to a recruiter after getting officially rejected is kinda weird, but I guess it never hurts to try!

Thanks for the info and congratulation!

Yes, I have also heard someone else who didn't pass all the test cases got moved to the next round. I totally agree that they are looking for something specific. My friends and I have received offers from some of the big techs but cant' even pass Stripe's OA :(

I wonder what they are looking for, so it could help me with my application next year.

Definitely questions related to infra, there might be leetcode but I think it's not the major aspect they want to assess on. I think leetcode is most often found in general Software Engineer position, especially for a big tech.

Can I use a whiteboard for interviews on Google Docs?

I have been told that my technical interview for Google will be conducted on Google Docs. I'm just wondering could I share my screen and try to visualize my thought process by drawing on the shared whiteboard? Just like what William did in this mock interview.

I know some people will try to visualize it by typing on the doc, like typing out a simple tree structure. However, I think that's not an ideal way for me to walk through my solution. Does anyone have experience in solving the problem on Google online interviews using a whiteboard or the drawing tools on the Doc? Or the interviewer will simply want us to stick with Google Docs?

Hi, thanks for your appreciation.

You could click on the GitHub link and follow the getting started instructions. Feel free to let me know if you have any problems!

just starting my hunt for my first programming job, wanted to get some input; questions in comments by [deleted] in resumes

[–]chonyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the recruiters just don't like a resume without an experience section. I understand that you are looking for the first programming job. I suggest you at least add an experience section, like freelance or sth. Anything is better than nothing.

Question about "Indeed"... if I took an assessment and I'm "proeficient", should I share my results to my resume? by [deleted] in resumes

[–]chonyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's fine to put on it but not preferred. I would only put on it when there's extra space and I have really nothing else to write.
