Unironically entirely my fault I should know this

Add more spice or drama to it, so I can post it on reddit.

just make it up, retard,

this is why we need communism. then you wouldn't have to gravel at the feet of HR women who only hire based on physical appearance. under glorious communism you would be gauranteed a job.

>you wouldn't have to gravel at the feet of HR women who only hire based on physical appearance
this reminds me of a job interview i had where my techincal interviews went fine

unsurprisingly, I was rejected the next day

They did not hire me :(

What degree do you have for the position that got you an interview

data science and you don't know python :D maybe stop believing Jow Forums ? no one has a job here it's just uni rejects

really data science and not using numpy or pandas...wtf

>interviewer: what is a sitemap?
>me: aaamm.. its a geo webapp?
at this moment i stop to webdev forever..

> I don't use python for data manipulation or understand why anyone would

really user, you dont know why anyone would use it? pandas, tensorflow machine learning, all that shit deals with panda. no wonder you flunked the interview. you're a narrow-minded visual basic excel faggot.

Good kek

I honestly learned barely anything in school so I probably embarrassed myself more than any of you. I had note sheets and everything and they didn't ask any questions they or people said they would.

What was the exact question user? How many leetcodes did ya do?

My dream is to work at botnet and leave traces of FOSS throughout the codebase, developing some sort of underground network with the ultimate goal of doing the needful.

>Normie females taking the interviews so the moment they see a nerd / fat / neckbeard / squishy / aspergerus maximus guy they look at him with a disgusting face but they aprove all the "fashion devs" with their fancy github and +5000 followers on twitter

>What was the exact question user? How many leetcodes did ya do?
leetcode.com/problems/merge-intervals/
I was stupid because I was reading on glassdoor that people have been asked this question before. It's not even hard, my mind just froze

Doesn't abstract just mean you can have variables and code implemented rather than just a list of methods?

People actually wear shoes to indoor interviews? How disrespectful

>what is a sitemap?
are you fucking shitting me? I knew this shit in the fifth grade, just go to the bottom of any website and it shows all the links on the website organized and layered

That's not a sitemap, user. Sitemaps are what you provide to search engines so that they can, you know, map your site.

> Bad interview stories thread?
I drank coffee right before the interview once. It started to kick in, I became quite agitated and started screaming at the tech guy - not like in rage, but when two people are aggressively arguing with each other. In the end, their ELK stack was quite new to me, so I asked for 60% raise compared to my current salary to compensate for the stressful time when I'm already responsible but have no idea what's going on and should crunch with no end in sight - or I thought it would be like that.
Overall, it's not a failure only because I didn't want the job, went there because they invited me.

> are you fucking shitting me? I knew this shit in the fifth grade
sitemap.xml, you doofus.

I got a job at hot topic because i had guages

then after college i got a job through nepotism with a telecom vender cuz my dad works for a phone carrier. I have a liberal arts degree too lol

Anyway good luck on the interviews guys :^)

Seriously, don't fall for the "le python is shit xd" memes here on Jow Forums. It's a good language to know in general even if you're just applying to SE positions (Google uses it for a reason) but it's pretty much ESSENTIAL for a data science position.

user, interviews exist so that you can sell yourself. Do you see advertisements for an Intel CPU saying the temperature it runs at under load? No, they only say the boost speed

It's not like I chose for her to look like that in my dream.

I can't help but think all advertisements are a dishonest scam and I'd be no better off like that
But yeah that's probably what I'll have to do..

Should've acted more like a robot.

This made me chuckle.
You’re supposed to boast about yourself interviews- don’t over think it!

So don't show up to the interview so sloppy looking that they can smell you through the webcam.

Problem solved faggot.

Tech interviewer here, AMA

Fuck I wish I could find a cushy job that hinged on fizzbuzz

The female hr interviewing me actually looked attractive and had a transparent-ish shirt that clearly showed her black laced frilly type of bra.
The shit fucking distracted me as her breats were big too and I fucked it up. Maybe I should come in speedos next time absolute bullshit

nice

Basically yes

Interface - public static variables plus headers of functions that MUST BE IMPLEMENTED. Clas can inplement multiple interfaces
Abstract - like interface but can have implemented methods. Class can extend only one abstract class though. Can not be initiated on itself.

What company? What's your name? How much do you make?

>Basically yes
Sweet, did I get the job?

Put me in the screencap.

They only care about Data Scientists and IA experts, you cannot work in warehouses anymore

why feel sad, you didnt want the job right? you did lie about the interface abstract thing right?

its data science and not ML

also yes, you really dont need to be a python expert to use pandas and stuff but some experience with python, numpy, pandas stack is just basic knowledge

>tfw working in an Amazon warehouse and have an interview for a data center technician position soon

it's just swapping out servers, r-right?

why u quit

Based

We cannot let these quads go unchecked

this is what i am wondering. OP is being a faggit nigger and wont tell us what degree he has, which is the only reason he got to an interview

To grow mushrooms. You don't have a lot of creative freedom at Amazon. Weird politics.

They dont even do green badges anymore
Blue badge or white

Working from the bottom is near impossible especially in the labor positions like stow or pick

weird i thought the badge thing was mostly in the gov
>fed employees blue
>contractor trash yellow or green

Amazon badging is
Blue for permanent part timers or full time
White for part timers and on call
Green is management
Then they have DSP/Biltmore/Inspire drivers where some weird contractor badge and in the fulfillment centers they have construction workers wear something similar
They're white badges with a stamp on them essentially

of course they do

(Background: I'm a data analytics and finance double major)
I was in an interview for a data analytics summer internship after my sophomore year, and we started talking a but about my interest in computers and some of the things I've done for fun, like building a desktop, playing around with Linux, etc. The interviewer at one point asked me why I chose finance + data analytics rather than CS since I'm so interested in computers, and my response was that I didn't think there was as much upwards mobility in CS as finance, and even if you do get promoted you will be in more of a management position and not actually be doing any cs work yourself. If that's the case I'd rather try to get to the management position as quick as possible instead of starting out as a programmer or SWE and working my way up.

Anyway, rest of the interview goes alright and towards the end he tells me a bit about himself and turns out he's a CS major himself. Didn't really understand how awkward everything I just said was until I got home, but I ended up with a better inter ship anyway do I'm not losing any sleep over this.

How many drunks have you interviewed?

Kek how do you fuck up this much especially over phone

Unfortunately, he's right. I had to do the same. It's so fucking hard out there. I took a support role at a grocery store, worked my ass off for three months and went way beyond the scope of my job (to demonstrate my capabilities and work ethic), then applied and got a job at the corporate offices.

Think of it as a no-pressure internship. Every little bit you can add value that distinguishes you from the burnout stoner is recognized, and with the high turnover you become more valuable. But don't get cocky and ask for a raise because in reality everyone is replaceable at the associate level. Impress the store director and tell him you're desire to move up. Should be supportive because it benefits you and the company, and the company wants to retain talented people user.

do you have a degree?

upvoted

you forgot firm handshakes

A business degree, but I have good analytical skills compared to your typical business student. Jackass of all trades master of none. And since I have a genuine interest in staring autistically into a spread sheet data long enough to outlast any normie I got the job.

autism is a beautiful thing, isnt it

Its better than measles or polio
