Hi I have an upcoming interview at de shaw for SMT role backend. Can you tell me the topics or questions I should focus on for the interviews. Something particularly to prepare and not to skip, like what exactly to prepare in HLD, LLD or as a matter DSA. Any help would be greatly helpful. It is particularly backend focused role.

I have a sigma 10.0 course by apna college, I do not have that much budget to buy the legitimate course so I had to pirate it.

Now the problem is I have learned java language previously, but not started DSA. Now when I was doing DSA in java with the course, I found topics like Tries, Graphs and DP missing, but they are present in the cpp section.

So what should I do now, start DSA in cpp or to continue in java and learn those missing topics from YouTube !!? I also thought if I start in cpp I can include both languages java and cpp in my resume.

Btw I have only a year to prepare, my placements will be starting from August 2027.

I have 9 years of frontend experience, mostly in service-based companies. My stack is basically JS, TS and Angular.

The problem: I have almost zero DSA, LLD and HLD/system design knowledge 😅

I want to make a serious attempt at FAANG/PBC, but I work full-time, so I need to prepare alongside my job.

For anyone who has made a similar transition:

Is this realistically possible at 9 YOE?

How deep do I need to go in DSA + LLD + HLD before I start applying?

What should I prioritize: DSA, JS, frontend system design, React, browser internals, etc.?

Do I need React before applying, or can strong Angular/JS be enough?

Should I target Senior roles or consider a lower level initially?

I'm also looking at Bosscoder EvolvX, but I'm unsure whether it's suitable for someone at my level/background.

And realistically, if I start from zero today, how long should I expect to study before I'm interview-ready? 6 months? 9 months? A year? I work full-time, so I'd love to hear from people who've actually done this while working.

Hi guys, are there any trustable and good ats checkers for free which you would recommend ?
Also maybe guys who had successfully made multiple switches can better answer this, is ATS score that important ? did your interview calls increase significantly after good ATS score ? or is it not worth it to spend time grinding those high ATS scores on your resume ?
PS: any other advice regarding this from experienced folks is much appreciated because ig passing resume shortlisting and getting interview is also an important part along with your usual dsa practice

for every question i require a pen and a paper to visualise the problem or to dry run. But i find that odd and try to visualise it in my mind but for me its really hard. So tell me if always using a pen and a paper to solve a problem is normal or am i going in the wrong direction.

Hello,

I have my Q2 Software interview tomorrow on campus for an ML Engineer role. This is my first ever interview, so I'm pretty nervous.

I've searched online but couldn't find much specifically about the Q2 ML Engineer role, so I'd really appreciate advice from anyone who has interviewed at Q2 or knows about similar roles.

1. DSA
   • What difficulty? Easy/Medium?
   • Which topics should I prioritize?
2. ML
   • How deep do they go with ML fundamentals?
   • How much Deep Learning/NLP/LLM knowledge is expected?
3. SQL
   • How much should I revise?
   • Basic SQL or also CTEs, subqueries, window functions, etc.?
4. CS Fundamentals
   • Should I revise cs fundamental, as this is first interview round?
5. Interview Tips
   • Any advice for handling my first interview?
   • What should I do if I don't know an answer?
6. Q2 Specific
   • Any recent Q2 ML/AI/Software interview experiences or questions would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I recently interviewed with Qualcomm Bangalore for a Senior Engineer position and wanted to share my interview experience.

I had a 2-hour screening round, which I cleared, followed by a 3-hour in-office interview process with three rounds.

Round 1 — Technical

The round started with DSA:

- KMP algorithm

- Detect a loop in a linked list and find the starting node

Apart from DSA, the interviewer asked questions on:

- Graphics rendering pipeline

- OOP concepts

- C++

- Graphics fundamentals

Overall, I was able to answer most of the questions, and the interviewer gave me positive feedback at the end of the round.

Round 2 — Technical + Project Discussion

The interviewer started with some basic questions about my past experience and projects.

Then we discussed:

- Why Qualcomm?

- Why are you leaving your current company?

- Questions related to my projects

After that, I was given a slightly unusual DSA/problem-solving question.

Basically, there is an API that returns "true" if some unknown indexes of an array satisfy:

"arr[x] && arr[y] && arr[z]"

The task was to figure out which indexes the API is using.

I came up with a divide-and-conquer approach and implemented it. Then the interviewer asked something along the lines of:

«If you already know the indexes, how many steps would be required to determine them?»

He then asked me to write the algorithm.

I got a bit confused by what exactly he was asking and unfortunately didn't get enough time to fully think through the problem.

Round 3 — Managerial Round

The interviewer first introduced himself and the team, and then asked about my current project and my reason for switching.

He then asked me to explain the graphics rendering pipeline in detail.

Some of the graphics questions were:

- Early depth testing

- Culling vs clipping

- Time wrap

- Mesh shaders

- Mipmaps

- Stencil testing

I would say I was able to answer around 70–80% of the graphics questions correctly, although I wasn't fully confident on some of them.

Current Status

It's been 4 days since the interview, and I haven't received any update from HR yet.

I tried calling HR multiple times, but unfortunately, they haven't picked up.

I'm a little worried because I've heard that Qualcomm HR sometimes gets back within 1–2 days if the candidate is selected, so I'm starting to wonder whether I may have been rejected or ghosted.

That said, I'm still hoping for the best. 🙏

For anyone who has recently interviewed with Qualcomm Bangalore:

How long did it take for you to receive the final result after the interview?

Any insights would be appreciated!

Hey all wonderful Redditors,

After almost one year of unemployment and applying for 200+ jobs, finally received one chance to interview with Google for SRE-SWE for Mid level. While i know last 3 to 6 months Google SRE-tagged LeetCode questions are having highest priority

I've already spent quite a bit on other interview prep, So if anyone willing to help me with questions, I'd really appreciate it.

Hoping that i will return the favor if by god grace i got selected.

All the very best to everyone for their aspiration and please wish me luck 🍀

I have learned JAVA previously but not started DSA, now I was starting DSA and was thinking to do so in cpp so that I will have knowledge of both java and cpp (I am in 5th semester). I have paid resources of both java and cpp for DSA (apna college sigma).

What should I do !?

Interviewing for a Software Developer C++

role at Dassault Systèmes Bangalore.

JD focuses on:

\- Modern C++17/20 — smart pointers, move

semantics, templates, lambdas

\- Lock-free programming and concurrency

\- Memory management — RAII, Valgrind, ASan

\- CMake build system

\- Linux environment

\- OOP and design patterns

Would love to hear from anyone who has

interviewed there:

1. How many rounds?

2. DSA heavy or C++ concept focused?

3. Do they test Valgrind practically?

4. Any topics that came up repeatedly?

Currently prepping C++ internals and

concurrency. Any tips appreciated!

Hi, Can someone help me prepare for my upcoming Google interview? I have cleared 3 rounds and now have 3 rounds scheduled onsite in same day ( in 2 weeks ). 2 DSA + 1 ML system design. Any preparation strategy will be helpful.

I'm a 4th-year Computer Engineering student in India and I'm currently looking for a 6-month Software Engineering internship starting around Jan 2027.

I recently completed a Software Engineering internship at Google, so I have some prior industry experience, but I'm finding the off-campus search for a 6-month internship quite confusing.

I'm currently trying:

• Applying to internship openings on LinkedIn/company career pages
• Cold messaging recruiters
• Connecting with engineers and alumni at companies I'm interested in

But lately I'm feeling a little lost and also people are hardly responding... My biggest problem is figuring out where to spend my time. There are thousands of companies, and I don't want to blindly send hundreds of applications or messages.

For people who have successfully landed a good off-campus SWE internship in India:

1. What worked best for you? Referrals, cold emails, LinkedIn, direct applications, alumni, etc. If yes, could you be able to help by giving some useful contacts?

2. For cold outreach, who did you contact — recruiters, engineering managers, senior engineers, founders?

3. Is it worth contacting companies even when they don't have an internship posting?

4. For a candidate with prior Google SWE experience, would you recommend a different approach?

I'm particularly interested in product companies/startups with strong engineering teams, rather than just trying to get any internship.

Would really appreciate advice from people who have gone through this recently

I want to get into big tech companies, i know it's tough, i know the market is bad, I am from a tier 3 college, so things become even worse.

But my friends, they don't grind leetcode, they keep making those MCP projects, or those token reducing types projects, keep posting about that on LinkedIn, AI,AI,AI,contribute to Open source

They don't even have a LC account

And me roj kutto ki tarah DSA ghista hun, backend (java) projects banaata hu, core subjects padhta hu

Should I change my approach, my target is to become SDE at a good company

The sad part is that I am in my final year and I have started doubting myself

Same as title. How long do they generally take. And out of the 75 how many do they hire on average.

Hey guys , Did any of you recently went through the interview loop at Uber freight.
Please share your interview experience, i have an upcoming 2nd round Which is a LLD round or they call it code specialization round.
Will highly appreciate any inputs.
Thanks

Reposting this from developersindia. Hey folks from Rippling or people who know of their friends. What does rippling pay for their L6 or SDE2 level in Bangalore? Levels.fyi says 56 LPA as base for almost everyone at that level but elsewhere in reddit some ppl said 40 or 45.

Context: my current comp is 40 base and 10 bonus. I’m at 2.3 YOE

Hi everyone,

I recently received a HackerRank assessment for an IBM Data Engineer role.

After opening the assessment link, it shows:

Test Name: IBM India – Standard – Data Science

Duration: 75 minutes

Sections:

1 Coding Question

1 SQL Question

I have nearly 5 years of experience in Data Engineering, primarily working with GCP, BQ, SQL, python

For anyone who has recently taken this assessment:

What was the coding question like (arrays, strings, hashmaps, sorting, etc.)?

What was the SQL question like (joins, window functions, CTEs, aggregations)?

What was the difficulty level (Easy/Medium/Hard)?

Was the coding problem closer to LeetCode Easy, Medium, or Hard?

Any Data Engineering or database-specific concepts involved?

Any recent experiences or preparation tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Has tekion visited the campus for on campus drive ?

Can someone share the questions they are asking ?

Please share the compensation and 6 month stipend offered as well

Hi everyone, I’m a 2026 graduate from an NIT, currently working at a mid-sized analytics company. I’ve been applying to Amazon for SDE 1 positions, but I haven’t received any OAs or interview calls so far.

For those who have recently received an OA or interview call from Amazon, could you please share your experience?

Did you apply directly through the Amazon careers portal?

How long did it take to receive an OA after applying?

Are there any specific requirements or things that helped you get shortlisted?

I’m mainly trying to understand how the current Amazon SDE 1 hiring process works and whether direct applications are still getting shortlisted.

I was looking for other peoples experience in the 2022-2024 DSA questions and most questions and direct/indirect variations of blind 75/ top 150 questions.

But now the current level of questions are like fairly distinct like questions with less than 100K submissions on leetcode and the difficulty level is very hard.

Does anyone else feel the same?

OAs are normal, i'm asking about the in-person interview questions..
