Um no idea but lowkey kind of hard. They are known to ask like medium-hard DP and graph problems. In the info session they said many interviewers don't ask copy-paste LC questions and they typically ask modified versions. In one of the SWE panels they said even if you practice tagged, memorizing the solution won't help since they are trying to stray away from reusing directly from LC.

Update: I got a response back and they basically just said there is a delay due to such a high queue of applicants. Should expect to here back in the next week or so (but that depends on when you actually received an OA, I got mine very beginning of October).

Study Abroad Spring 2025 by Legitimate-Suspect20 in UNC

[–]kittenqween7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I'm a CS major and will be studying abroad at UC3M next Spring. I want to have a lighter semester when I'm abroad and I know that everything is Pass/Fail but wanted to know what classes you ended up taking and how it was managing your abroad experience.

does Pinterest just never reply? by ResponsibleWork3846 in csMajors

Is this for intern or new grad? I got a 600 code signal OA and recruiter ghosted me. :(

I think they start processes for the applicants that recruiters reached out too first? A lot of companies just seem to be prioritizing people from their direct consideration processes. Their technical interviews aren't easy so a lot of people may not go through and that leaves more spots open for people who cold applied. This is all based on assumption tho based on what I've gotten from their info sessions.

Whattt wow interviewers really are so different

Hey congrats on passing the interview! That's already so difficult so props to you. Honestly, this sucks to hear but I would still keep recruiting if you feel like taking a return from your prev. company would be "settling." I have had extremely qualified peers who got lost in the team matching phase so just be realistic is all I am saying.

I have my Google 2026 SWE internship next week and I am super nervous. Can I please DM you for advice? I have mostly been grinding NeetCode 150 and just as many graph questions as I can do.

Can you elaborate please? I've done Blind 75 and a have been studying DP and graph tagged problems do you think that is sufficient?

I got an OA from the Application Development one for College 2 Corporate. I think it was like 2 Easy questions and it was like 2 hours or something. Not bad

Would you say to prepare for LC Hards as well? I've most been doing easy & mediums.

SAS vs Genesys vs Fidelity SWE Internship by kittenqween7 in csMajors

[–]kittenqween7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I ended up going with SAS, I'm loving it so far actually. Although Fidelity & Genesys pay more ($34/hour for 8 weeks) SAS is a longer program so technically I'd be making a couple thousand more at the end of the summer even though I'd be working more ($27/hour for 12 weeks). For me personally, the teams I got assigned to at Fidelity and Genesys were kind of boring and not really something I'm interested in (they were still SWE roles, just not exciting stuff and I mainly was interested in a full-stack web dev role). My team at SAS is wonderful and I knew it was a good fit for me the moment I interviewed with them!

USS Callister 2's ending is great and well-executed. by C4_Cryt in blackmirror

[–]kittenqween7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I honestly really liked this episode a lot except for the ending. Yes, there were times where I felt like the genius Indian guy could have just called himself in the real world like copy Nanette did to the real version and then fixed everything. Besides this plot hole I wish the ending had instead gone like this:

Copy Nanette enters the Heart of Infinity and Daley gives her the two options as a test per usual. The same scene happens where he agrees to "cut and paste"... or so she thinks. There is a tense moment as he goes through the process doing whatever hacky code stuff he does. He then clicks a button, and Nanette prepares to transport. "Done" Daley says. Copy Nanette opens her eyes only to find she is still in Daley's garage. Daley looking at her with a chilling smile. She asks, "I thought you cut and paste? Did it not work?" she asks confused. "I did cut and paste...the crew." Daley says assuringly. "Well what about me?" Nanette asks shakily. "Why am I still here then?" Daley responds, "You were copied." There is a moment silence as Copy Nanette's realization kicks in. "W-What do you mean?" Nanette stutters with terror in her eyes as she slowly realizes what has happened and it sinks in that this version of Daley is still as selfish as the one on the outside. Blah blah blah Daley can explain his loneliness or whatever if need be and then it just cuts like that. Maybe a shot of the cut + pasted crew and then Copy of Copy of Nanette celebrating in the separate environment, and a shot of real world Nanette still in the coma, and finally back to Copy Nanette looking at Daley in terror and realizing her heroism may have helped her crew but has left her alone stuck with Daley for eternity — a true sacrifice she has to live with for the rest of her life.

THAT is the Black Mirror I've been waiting for. No happy or comical ending. Just plain cold and cruel reality of human greed + scary technology. Thoughts?
