A friend of a friend was asked to implement sqrt in hardware during a phone interview with nVidia. If you're smart enough to do that and you can't maintain the equivalent of a 2.7 GPA then that betrays a poor work ethic.
- boredguy8 16y agoOr far more interesting questions abound than the ones in your "Communications 101" class. (Also, top 80%+ isn't the same thing as a 2.7 GPA - completely different systems.)
- krschultz 16y agoDo you mean top 20%? Because the top 80% is well, almost everyone. Or the 80th percentile would be the top 20%. I'm not nitpicking, I just took the 80% to mean 2.7 as well.
- endtime 16y agoHe didn't say top 80%, he just said 80%, which I took to mean an average score of 80%.
- endtime 16y agoAlso, "this class isn't interesting so I'm going to badly in it and screw up my GPA" is a pretty immature and foolish attitude.
- Symmetry 16y agoI think their interview's might be a little uneven. I was asked how to swap the values of two registers in hardware and I said something about muxes and lines. When the interviewer sounded skeptical I started expounding on different types of latches and their properties. In retrospect I think they wanted the xor trick, but that's really a firmware or software thing. Needless to say I didn't get the real interview.
