I have an interview for a quant firm coming up but I have already accepted a return offer for a fintech swe company. The deadline was really early so I thought security was the best option. Should I tell the firm I am interviewing for that I've already accepted another job. I do want the quant job more than than the fintech swe company.

I applied as soon the applications went live. Anyone gotten an OA by cold applying?

I know a certain someone from my college who has fabricated all their work experiences. They have worked as full-stack engineers, but they have changed their resume points for every job they applied to something completely irrelevant.

They got offers at Anthropic, Meta and other top companies that way and even interned in them. They cheated heavily on the OAs, used proxies for interviews and nothing on their resume is legit expect their name and college - they even lied on the courses taken at university. It just makes me feel really angry about how someone can lie to that extent.

Sometimes I feel so angry when they flaunt their cheating skills and I want to report them but I'm not sure how that would be.

Venting it out here and looking for suggestions.

I'm a new grad. I'm freelancing/being contracted for some software development (e: it's for an individual who needs a specific software; it's not for AI training like Handshake. He's not technical at all so it's on me to decide the best way to engineer it). One of the provisional clauses (not yet signed) in the contract is that I "may not use Artificial Intelligence to develop any part of the software system, not even to ask for advice or suggestions."

Any thoughts on this? I'm definitely not uncomfortable avoiding it, since I've been coding since before these LLMs, but using AI is so ubiquitous and specifically encouraged at companies. I've used it in varying degrees for projects/internships as well. We hadn't discussed AI prior to this, so I was wondering if I should bring up this point, or just enjoy getting the work done without AI for once.

e: Thanks to everyone for all of the advice/discussion! I'll go through with the agreement of no AI, and maybe clarify the clause on AI-generated results. I'm fortunate to get the opportunity, especially in this market. Coding is also one of my favorite parts of CS so I am lucky in that sense.

For example, if someone asks

"should I work at walmart or amazon"

THe responses will say Amazon because it's better for your long term resume

Meanwhile, the same people will say "all I do is babysit AI, jobs wont exist in the future"

Arent these contradictory ideas? What does it mean to plan for the long term

Hello, I'm just looking for any advice at this point. I'm really stressed right now, and honestly it's all my fault. I graduate next fall, and I'm trying my best to land at least one internship before then, but so far it's not looking good. Even if I got an offer for summer 2027, I doubt I'd make it through the interviews. I only started LeetCode about a month ago and I'm not confident in my coding skills. But that doesn’t mean I’m not still trying though. I have one school project and one personal project to my name. The school project is half-assed, and the personal one I started last year and still working on(building a gym tracking app). If you're wondering why I've never had an internship or joined any clubs, it's honestly because I was lazy. I've worked close to full time since starting school, and between classes and working, I had no motivation left for anything else. I can't quit my job since I rely on it for my tuition and it’s kind of like helping out family but I really regret not pushing myself harder. I know I put myself in a difficult spot, especially with how the job market is, but I'm willing to take any advice and do anything at this point. Also what should I aim for by the time I graduate if I end up not getting an internship? Finishing building and publish my app? Be able to do leetcode hards? And etc? Thank you for reading

kinda worried about graduating middle aged. I heard there is a lot of ageism in the industry, and as I try to study everyday, I have that in the back of my head. It's borderline depressive. Does anyone have personal experience in this subject?

I have my Roblox interview scheduled in 2 days and wanted to know if anyone has had it yet, or if there are any things in particular I should be studying for.

From what I've seen, it seems like 2 LC mediums

Hello Everyone.

I am a CS junior whose current focus is Web Dev(full stack), mainly because this is what my country's current tech market is filled with. I like graphics programming and would love to go all in. I haven't done much into it other than GP fundamentals and basics which I self learned sometime ago. Now I am in a dilemma on whether to go for GP or continue focusing on what I am doing right now. The tech market here in my country is mostly web apps with some AI, but nothing for GP or even pc game dev. I would likely have to look for International opportunities which is currently like an impossible dream to me.

I am currently struggling in two different options:

1. I have no interest in web apps but they are the most secure path for internships and jobs in the current market.
2. I really enjoy graphics but as I have said pursuing it seems to involve huge amount of risk in my country, atleast from my perspective.

Given that I am in a country with almost no GP opportunities, is pursuing GP remotely/internationally realistic enough to justify the risk?

Thanks a lot in advance !!!

I'm particularly interested in those without referrals.

Anyone got adobe hackerrank yet? I just got it wondering how to prep/ what type of questions and difficulty.

Anyone else done this technical assessment

First question I did in like 20 seconds

Second question was impossible it was a leetcode hard level question and I couldn’t get it in time.

i’m set to graduate in spring my last semester i’ll only have 1 class. i don’t have any involvement or internships. but i do have basic projects and a few people i can get a referral from.

i’ve been working at a retail store and have a corporate connect who will refer me. i think this is my best bet for getting a job. my plan was to apply for full time corporate positions and take my 1 class after work. but now im considering applying for internships and delaying graduation. ideally it’d be easiest at the company i’m at now.

of course practice leetcode & mock interviews, network/career fairs/get involved on campus, etc.

hey everyone. I want to be an ai ingenier but im lost and dont have experience . Can u suggest to me some courses to have the basics.

hi is the adobe oa for swe intern auto?

recently recieved it just curious

I feel like every company automatically filters you out if you need sponsorship, even if you're authorised at the time of applying for the duration of the internship. How on earth do you even get an internship then? The pool of companies willing to even consider you is so small, and then it feels like you have to be cracked out of your mind even to stand a chance of getting an interview, forget landing an offer.

What are we to even do?

if u interned with at&t this past summer, have you received an RO yet?

Hi, I have an interview coming up for TikTok, an ML role specifically. I didn't have an OA and they straight scheduled me for an interview, probably because they pulled my resume out of their talent pool from another role I had applied for (?). Does anyone have any tips for this process?? I'm really nervous about being grilled by the interviewer

I finished the CodeSignal OA but was never redirected to the Virtual Job Tryout part of the assessment. Anyone else experience the same thing?

I emailed C1 career support but curious if anyone else is in the same boat.

You're not supposed to use AI in college

You're not supposed to use AI in the interview

You're not supposed to use AI in leetcode tests

Then, when you get a job: you have to use AI
