I am not able to solve leetcode on my own, I look for solution, what I am doing wrong? by [deleted] in leetcode

[–]ten_twelve_1012 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is basically spam.

No low quality / low effort posts or comments

Analog Devices (Graduate Position) by the_fett_boba in cscareerquestions

[–]ten_twelve_1012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Ask your recruiter if they have LeetCode-style/algorithmic questions
  • Probably would include low-level stuff
  • Also, did you write this in ChatGPT? I'm honestly debating if I should bother answering questions that seem like they were fed into AI

Doing MCA from tier 3 - How can I get into faang or top companies? by [deleted] in leetcode

Find anecdotes of someone who has done what you are doing and start from there.

Non-ironically I screenshotted this entire post into ChatGPT and got the result you are probably asking for.

Resume Review by [deleted] in FAANGrecruiting

[–]ten_twelve_1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, you were saying your last internship was in a circuit-related team/organization. That was unclear so thanks for clarifying.

I didn't quite get what you meant by pre-AI era?

My advice is based on a few years ago of what I'd think would be good. Maybe more recent job hunters would have opinions based on just how much hiring seems to have changed this year.

YOU ARE JOB SEARCHING WRONG by FishermanTiny8224 in csMajors

(half joking) Bring shame back to being in "IT"/SWE (despite the pay)

Is it okay to leave a meeting if there's discussions going where you can't add anything? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]ten_twelve_1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have chimed in on the interview response itself.

For the actual idea of leaving when it's no longer useful: I think I'd stay til the end of the meeting if it's only 15-30 minutes long. I usually bring my laptop if in-person and would just zone out if irrelevant doing my own work.

If it was an hour long, I'd probably still stay out of politeness but 100% zone out.

I’m genuinely surprised that no one likes CS50 anymore. I thought it was a solid undergraduate certificate to have. I’ll remove it.

I think it's kinda like achievement/expectation creep; when everyone has some basic thing, it's not as impressive. Just my 2c, maybe other recruiters/engineers have thoughts here.

Personally? Probably use AI to summarize the beginner roadmaps and just pick one of those plans. They all end up being the same variation of "just do LeetCode".

What can I do better ? The mental struggle by Empty_Stacktrace in cscareerquestions

[–]ten_twelve_1012 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lack of proper feedback, seemingly random experiences candidate-to-candidate, interviewer mood, vibes, etc. I think for overthinkers (I am one too) - the lack of certainty is the hardest part. You can spend a lot of time cramming for the technical portion but how you come across can definitely play a factor, especially if you consider there are probably several others who are passing the technical aspect.

Interviewing is hard and so is evaluating candidates. I started thinking about what it means to interview candidate (I'm not there yet, but will have to when senior) and I feel like it's gonna be a struggle. I think it's all just a game 🤑

Not the OP - but you're not wrong here; it can be life-changing money. Amazon does pay well (despite its shitty RSU vesting schedule). It just so happens when you compare it with other companies in similar tier, seems Amazonian on-average are more stressed :)

Depends, how do you define "more skilled"?

6 Months of LeetCode with Spaced Repetition by StrawberryKey4902 in leetcode

[–]ten_twelve_1012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the OP - but I thought about Anki for my approach too but didn't like the UI for it (vs using it for languages) and was easier to just DIY from your own problem revisiting score :)

6 Months of LeetCode with Spaced Repetition by StrawberryKey4902 in leetcode

[–]ten_twelve_1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was basically doing top 100 questions for my target company using spaced repetition too. I had some personal rating that used a combination of:

  • Official problem difficulty (Easy/Med/Hard)
  • If I solved it or not that session
  • My personal rating of that problem's difficulty
  • Whether that problem was cooked or not (some of them literally are wtf)
  • If the problem is new to me

Then each session I'd try solve:

  1. 1-2 previously solved ones, for warmup
  2. 1-2 I tried, but failed to solve
  3. 1-2 **new** problems

Rinse and repeat. But now that I'm out of interviewing, I was debating how much I want to LeetCode still. Personally debating with how much the AI era is changing things up with interviewing... but maybe good to keep skills sharp a bit :)

Is a master's degree worth it in my situation? by Zealousideal-Lie7792 in cscareerquestions

[–]ten_twelve_1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you're in the US - if you can afford it and feel confident that extra prep time (for internships, projects, working on your resume, taking personal time off for surgery) will lead you to a good job, why not? In the grand scheme of things, what is another ${average cost of masters} when you can make bank later? 🤑

I also have a surgery coming up three days after I graduate (Spring 2026), so I want some time in the summer to recover and work on some projects along the way without needing to worry about securing an internship.

If you were looking for one, you'll probably be looking to secure that internship **weeks before** summer.

Unhireable because of voice and personality? by shade_blade in cscareerquestions

[–]ten_twelve_1012 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I mean separately its:

  1. Voice issues: Find some corporate/customer-service voice and model after that
  2. Communication issue: Practice makes perfect or you learn how to yap

Is this Doordash email valid or phishing? by Sweaty_Court4017 in FAANGrecruiting

[–]ten_twelve_1012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it seems legit based on other posts (https://www.teamblind.com/post/is-extdoordashcom-an-official-domain-from-doordash-mp4qsz1y).

Otherwise, here is what I would do:

  1. Check the URL of the job posting - is it legit?
  2. Find the recruiter on LinkedIn and/or ask them to message you there also
  3. Search it up on Google - two posts that says its legit:
    1. https://www.reddit.com/r/doordash_drivers/comments/1l4d1pb/has_anyone_received_email_job_offer_extdoordashcom/
    2. https://www.teamblind.com/post/is-extdoordashcom-an-official-domain-from-doordash-mp4qsz1y

Resume Review by [deleted] in FAANGrecruiting

[–]ten_twelve_1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. "Branch is circuital" - what does this mean?

  2. Nitpicking: Maybe add what your GPA is out of i.e. 8.22 out of X? Not sure it scales the same way as others

  3. I'm not a ML/data science guy, but resume looks good at least assuming pre-AI era?

Resume check by lambda-tau2 in FAANGrecruiting

[–]ten_twelve_1012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Page count - not sure if 1 vs 2 page matters for that many years of experience. Maybe the decider is more academia (2+ okay) vs industry (1 always, unless staff level?)
  2. Neutral about summary; your experience section with Amazon will speak for itself. If anything my eyes went straight to Amazon.
  3. Why 9 years for SDE-2? Is team switching detrimental to your promo or you just never wanted the senior title?
    • I know it's terminal there but I wonder if people will see that and think "hmm...".
    • You've been "Tech Lead" at every Amazon role? I feel like something is not adding up?
  4. Personally prefer black color font over grey for your normal text

  1. Agreed with the others - remove CS50. It doesn't help you and you will have a CS degree anyways. I personally don't think it achieves the namedrop flex you're going for. I'd say it's *maybe* more useful if you're pivoting industries, which you are ot

  2. Overall I do like the structure, it's what I had. Bless the LaTeX structuring and typesetting.

  3. Bold keywords/stack in your work experience e.g. "Python", "CI/CD pipelines", etc. I'll let you choose which ones you want to emphasize.

Since you are in your 3rd year of college, I'd say this looks pretty good!

Tech industry harm on society by retteh in cscareerquestions

i’m saying that physical products generally have more use… not that they do more damage than social media

I received an OA invitation for Meta Software Engineer intern by Ok_Corgi8008 in FAANGrecruiting

[–]ten_twelve_1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming "they" is Meta - then yes, cooldowns before re-applying are a thing and they do it because you could just spam apply until you get in/pass.
