wow! I didn't expect this, thanks for sharing!
"As a true data scientist I will use Exel" :)
Two Sigma has 3 technical and 3 behavioural interviews lasting an hour each. They also have an online assessment when you apply that’s about 70 minutes long. The technical coding questions they ask you vary between LeetCode medium and hard, which is surprising because companies typically don’t ask LeetCode hard questions, especially for an interview under an hour. Furthermore, the technical coding interviews happen back to back. So you’d be sitting for 3-4 hours solving 3 LeetCode medium/hard questions with 3 different Software Engineers, under an hour each. The 3 behavioural one hour interviews also happen in one day back to back (and you only take them IF you pass the technical interviews first). Needless to say, it is super hard. So be sure to be prepared! I would also like to point out one special thing about Two Sigma, they genuinely look for skill and talent. You don’t need to have a high college GPA or super impressive resume to get the interview as long as you have demonstrated genuine skill, talent, and success in other areas.
Thank you Joma. I watched this 3 years ago when I was freshman in university and really opened my eye. I was able to follow down the rabbit hole and ended up with internships in FAANG. Really appreciate and grateful for your content!
24:30 is the list of salary and companies. You're welcome
144K USD as an intern... wow. SF Bay Area salaries are insane...
'only' $6.6K 'thats Pretty shit', i wish i had half that lol
This gives me hope, thanks. I'd love to go back to being an intern again, those were the good old days. They usually try to slot me full-time though, how do I get around this?
You are one of the few YouTubers that I would spend 30 minutes of my life on a single video to watch #teamjoma
Jeez, 9k for an internship?? In germany it's pretty good if you're earning like 5k for a regular job..
Random question Can you ask your brother for an interview so he can tell us about 2sigma ? Like if you want to see that too !
Joma: I'm a data scientist Also Joma: can't read excel sheet correctly
And then there is me, I did 3 month free internship. Ate 2 meals a day.
Googles at 7.5k + 3k now :) Amazon in the bay is 8.4k + 3.5k stipend
As a foreign student, seeing people getting 6-9k per month for an internship is shocking, we don't even get paid in my country, and the salary of an engineer is like 1000$
I have to say this video is probably one of the best ones on your channel. Really informative. You should make more of these related to internships. Thanks a lot !!
6.5 per month considered a shit salary? Lol I wish my internship was even half of that
Clearing up an issue regarding Microsoft's internship interview process. The difficulty is not "easy" per se. The process that Joma experienced is not the typical internship process that most students go through (his was very short). The usual process is an on-campus or phone interview followed by 4 or so interviews on site. At both stages they can ask simple questions, but things like finding a cycle in a linked list is on the easier end of things rather than being the standard difficulty.
watched this when you first posted, and now i'm watching it again. Your content is so addicting
