    I worked for capital one as a new grad for 2 years, capital one internship program is great and barrier to entry isn't high. I'd suggest all freshman/sophomores in undergrad to apply and just study the tagged leetcode problems, you should be able to get an offer.
    Interns get paid ~55-70 per hour depending on location. Also, you get put into a legit internship program and network with a ton of really smart kids from great universities who will jump to FAANG after. I'd highly recommend as a precursor to joining big tech.

      Hi @armankhondker,
      I have a pair programming interview with Capital One coming up Next Week. Is it possible to connect as I will like to get some insight from your experience.
      Will be glad to hear from you. Thanks🙏

    Hey new subscriber, i remember was it a year ago? but i applied to the capital one internship and there were two "camps": the advanced for presumably mid-senior level devs, and the beginner....
    They only emailed me to continue for the mid-senior internship i was devastated because of the insane gap - i had applied to the beginner internship.
    I couldnt appeal or anything, why did they do that i feel like it was intentional?

    The hotel thing isn't that big of a deal. A lot of people will just not leave hotel rooms after their checkout times. I've stayed in a decent amount of hotels and when it happens its definitely sketch but its pretty common tbh.

      Personally, I would say from my experience, I don't care about the outcome of the interview either getting selected or not getting selected.
      If you set up your mind like that, you would feel less stressed and relaxed.
      It works most of the time.
      It helped me a lot actually.

      You go to your pcp and ask them to prescribe propranolol, take 25-50mg 30
      Min before and you’re golden. DO NOT take propranolol if you have asthma, you’ll die. Seriously.

Plus, there are so many different things you learn about from doing leetcode questions, and these interviews likewise ask you about many different data structures and algorithms, so it's difficult to come up with the correct solution on the spot
