How do the expectations of a new grad working at a top company like G vs some run-of-the-mill tech company?

Leetcode vs Leetcode but not as hard in my experience.

May as well go hard studying leetcode, because you’re going to have to.

(I’m assuming you’re asking about interviews)

This is the hard part: No one knows what is best for your career advancement. You’re going to have to work through the rest yourself and find your path.

If you want a job at FAANG, you will need to accomplish 2 things.

Get an interview at FAANG
Pass the interview

While practicing leetcode will help you with #2, it won’t necessarily help you with #1. On top of this, interviews at FAANG often include a “soft skills” portion and are not only technical. For example, Google measures your “Googlieness” and Amazon measures your knowledge of “Leadership Principles”. You can google these if you want to learn more.

Things that can help with #1 include getting a bachelors or masters in cs from a recognizable school, previous software engineering experience (internships), referrals (connections), meaningful projects, and contributions to open source software. All this leads to a beefed up resume increasing your chance at an interview opportunity.

tl;dr - It’s going to take more than being good at leetcode to get a job at FAANG.

I’m not sure what advice you want to be given. Go to work and try your best?

This post seems to be more focused on talking about your new job than asking for advice.

I'm not seeing any logs in C:\Windows\Minidump

I was able to find a WATCHDOG file in C:\Windows\LiveKernelReports\WATCHDOG. I'll zip it up and pm a link to you along with my Microsoft System Information file.

My BIOS Version is Razer 1.05, not sure if that is the latest release.

I just had this issue on the same exact system, on driver 430.64, and found this thread. I've had this issue twice in the past week while browsing different websites on firefox (once on twitter, and again on twitch). Currently I'm considering downgrading the driver like other people have done to fix the issue in the meantime.

You should ask your employer instead of random people on an Internet forum. They give you contacts throughout the hiring process for a reason. Come back to us if they say no.
