[hearty walrus]

not sure if my resume is good enough for 2024 yet

but im hoping to end my academia with 5 internships

[vagrant escarp]

yeah i havn't even gotten to a technical interview yet lol

[hearty walrus]

how many places have you applied for

[vagrant escarp]

lost count

but at least 400

[hearty walrus]

oof man

[vagrant escarp]

a handful of interviews tho

maybe like 6ish

[hearty walrus]

that's not terrible

[vagrant escarp]

i wonder how long this is gonna last

seems too hard to get an interview

[fallen fox]

i cant even get an interview lmao \

its over

[vagrant escarp]

lol

[fallen fox]

dec 2022 grad

idk what to do

[vagrant escarp]

same..

[fallen fox]

i just need one interview lmao

[vagrant escarp]

how many apps have u sent out

[fallen fox]

lost track but at least 150-200

[vagrant escarp]

ah

have u had any internships?

[fallen fox]

yep 2

[vagrant escarp]

oh lol same

is it fang company?

[fallen fox]

nope

one internship was at oracle

[vagrant escarp]

o thats not bad

[fair zinc]

nope

I’m 2022 December grad

not 23 December

[fallen fox]

are you on opt rn?

[autumn jolt]

Hey, a question for all the international grads out here. If a company is looking to hire early even before you graduate then what kind of work authorization/sponsorship is required? Can we apply for CPT for permanent full-time roles?

[raw echo]

Can u do an ms?

[fallen fox]

not right now; need $$$$ from job

[raw echo]

U could do a part time startup and ms if ur u need visa

[fallen fox]

you should really ask your DSO

[nova reef]

pretty sure CPT is ok for full-time as long as your status in school is valid, usually it's CPT -> OPT after u graduate -> STEM OPT

[autumn jolt]

Gotcha, I had the same understanding too. Thank you!

[hearty walrus]

Any good resources for Code Signal problems?

or just do leetcode

[pure mauve]

hm probably 1point3acres, leetcode discuss, hackerrank?

[hearty walrus]

i read their white paper a few times

that helped

q3 and q4 are annoying

i just wanna do q1, q2, and q4 so i get 820+

mostly dp and hash maps too

[vagrant escarp]

just checked out 1point3acres, do people pay for it or how does it work?

[pure mauve]

yeah

pay like 100 a month

[vagrant escarp]

do people actually pay for it?

[pure mauve]

yea

[vagrant escarp]

dang thats a lot

100

[west egret]

Only LC premium worth paying for imo

[vagrant escarp]

yeah i can agree with that

only 30 for resources to actually improve

[west egret]

Heard grokking is good too but you can technically get that without paying

[vagrant escarp]

1point3acres could be good for passing OA but if they ask u to do it live or onsite u might be fked if they whip out a new question

[pure mauve]

thats what you think

lc premium worth paying for but u can get all the questions without premium

but 1point3acres goes well into detail

some companies its got p much the whole bank

[vagrant escarp]

oh dang

u have a subscription with them?

[pure mauve]

yes

[vagrant escarp]

have u gotten a job yet?

[pure mauve]

have made to a bunch of finals

passed some

but got rescinded some, cancled my offers, or they ran out of headcount

ive passed a bunch but no officla offer atm

[vagrant escarp]

dang 100 a month is so much tho lol

[pure mauve]

but you can do

[vagrant escarp]

they do seem like they have an extensive database

[pure mauve]

but

what you can do is login everyday like 200 times

[west egret]

100/month is a lot but if it works it works

[pure mauve]

and when u hit a certain amount u can view some posts

[vagrant escarp]

so there are ways to view posts without paying?

[pure mauve]

yes

but its alot of work

[vagrant escarp]

dang...

[pure mauve]

u literally log in every day

for 200 times

[vagrant escarp]

what if u do it 400 times

u get to view 2 posts?

is it like a point system or somethin

[pure mauve]

u basically accrue points

and you can see certain posts that require x amount of points

[vagrant escarp]

i think u can make a program that keeps auto refreshing for u

[west egret]

Yeah I know about lintcode but it was just easier to have everything consolidated on LC for me.

[vagrant escarp]

and just leave it on 24/7

[pure mauve]

lc premium is

good

[vagrant escarp]

yeah i got LC premium

idk about 100 a month tho

[pure mauve]

but also when i say log on, you have to answer a survey question when logging on every day

[vagrant escarp]

only the first time right?

[pure mauve]

no every time

[teal jackal]

im so hungry

[vagrant escarp]

im hungry for a job

[west egret]

You'll be able to eat after you start FT

[valid bramble]

Anyone heard back from Flexport after the 2 virtual interviews?

[raw echo]

I scheduled my interview for next month cuz they were full for interviews, I think they are stack ranking candidates rn

[valid bramble]

I think you can get like 95 points by answering a questionaire or something like beginner's tasks.

[valid bramble]

Did the HR rescheduled your interviews? I heard some ppl get canceled for HR calls

[raw echo]

yeah they moved my final back a week last week, not canceled tho

[valid bramble]

That's good news, I think, at least they are still interviewing.

someone heard from HR that Flexport paused hiring SDE1 roles

[teal jackal]

im waiting for dinner

I had some walnuts as a snack

mmm refreshing

[west egret]

fancy

[fossil jewel]

i had chocolate

[pure mauve]

If anyone has done tiktok HM, could you dm me? Important questions to ask

[fallen fox]

ty!

[graceful crown]

Do you guys know any server for cybersecurity people?

[vagrant escarp]

anyone whos struggling getting a SWE job applying in other industries?

[vagrant escarp]

whats PM?

[weary junco]

Project Manager

[vagrant escarp]

oh dont u need some kind of experience for that?

i only have 2 internships

[west egret]

Can be product manager as well

[stuck moat]

Is Amazon still on the freeze?

[fallen fox]

everything is on freeze

its over

[errant gorge]

flextrades is hiring

[stuck moat]

Keep it up, once you get the first job its gonna be easier

[errant gorge]

i can get you a recruiter's email for flextrades

[fallen fox]

im international

ty tho

[lone rapids]

Flextrades doesnt hire intl?

[fallen fox]

from the data they only sponsored 3 B.S intl students in the past 3 years so probably not

maybe if you have a masters

[dusky tapir]

For those of you who have 0 offer wen did you start applying and how many SWE internships did you have

[vagrant escarp]

end of december and 2 internships

[fallen fox]

👆

[blazing sonnet]

when is your interview? I scheduled mine for 2nd week of march

[vagrant escarp]

@fallen fox I look forward to updates from ur name

[jovial latch]

at some point i stopped tracking my apps

so i cant update my name lol

though i think my name speaks for itself

did a whole career fair thing today, im exhausted

mind you a buncha companies literally showed up and were like 'yea we dont actually have any full time roles'

but theres a few that might go somewhere

[vagrant escarp]

yeah i need to find a career fair

[jovial latch]

blegh, dont expect anything from one
spent like 6 hours at one in the fall, spoke to like 10-12 different companies, didnt hear back from a single one

too many people looking for jobs

[fallen fox]

you too man

[pastel bane]

any advice? I dont play games. could anyone recommend one easy to pick up?

[daring gazelle]

use chatgpt

[fathom arrow]

I feel like there’s gradually more oa and interviews coming in. Am I delusional or that’s the case

[dusky tapir]

Why did you start applying in august. If you had two internships then you should known to be proactive

[fathom arrow]

Straight up roasting 😂

[rain patio]

Mf out for blood 💀

[fathom arrow]

Bro’s user id be tweaking tho(not you)

[dusky tapir]

I have no sympathy for sans-offer-cels who started the job search after august 2022

[timber rock]

sans undertale??

[teal jackal]

bro youre murdering this guy

[teal jackal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO-3TodiwOE&t=6s&ab_channel=FearlessPhoenix

my reaction to that

[pine topaz]

mans ask who has no offers just to roast them t_t

[teal jackal]

to be honest maybe some people wanted to enjoy their fall 2022 semester

without the job search stress

and didnt realize how bad the economy got that quickly

[strong kraken]

[pine topaz]

you have 0 offers - tell him, say something t_t

[livid yew]

@pine topaz 🥰

[teal jackal]

is he going to zon?

[vagrant escarp]

Yeah I mean u do have a point, I should’ve started applying earlier

[dusky tapir]

I have an offer tho, unlike you. When I start a amz I’ll make ur entire salary in 4 mos

[jaunty basalt]

Pinged the wrong person

[tardy geode]

that's what my flatmate does

[dusky tapir]

Lol Amazon calling zon peanuts. Unemployed ass mofo

@rain patio the type to join a local company paying 60k instead of Amazon saying “uh durr everybody gets an offer from amz, it’s not that special” meanwhile he couldnt even pass the resume screen 🤣

[livid yew]

My guy, $1 is more than than $0

So end of day it's all the same

[tardy geode]

ik , i got no issues tho . let them flex

https://tenor.com/view/maxwell-cat-meme-gif-27285439

[livid yew]

[tardy geode]

Techie caught in 4k

[livid yew]

Speaking of

[pine topaz]

show us ur feet'

[livid yew]

[dusky tapir]

U realize if you didn’t withdraw you would prolly got delayed and gotten 13k for no reason. Also why would you withdraw in this job market? Ur obviously not that smart

[gray dagger]

What chrome extension is that, which makes your tabs colored

[livid yew]

No extension

It's a feature on newest version

Look up "tab groups"

[gray dagger]

Nothing 🫠

[livid yew]

Right click on a tab, and you should have the option

[gray dagger]

Gotcha

[knotty talon]

Damn this shit cringy

[teal jackal]

imo it's bad karma to be edgy and talk down on others

Like we get it, a lot of people messed up big time by not realizing how bad the hiring scene got

no need to rub it into their faces

[timber rock]

this server is a breeding ground for ppl like that lmao

[late kestrel]

dudes trollin lmao he aint srs

[rain patio]

bro it's ok, there's always next year

[teal jackal]

comcast office is damn nice
Tbh my amazon office felt boomer and soulless

most companies have nice offices nowadays

[pine topaz]

i mean he has a patric bateman pfp

[late kestrel]

dude hes 100% trolling

[pine topaz]

so perhaps

:3

[late kestrel]

who flexes 13k and being under 6 foot

cmon

13k tho

[teal jackal]

why 5'11?

[late kestrel]

just simply be over 6 foot

[tardy geode]

bro that's cap lol

[rain patio]

I always seee many tall Asians in nyc

Maybe all the tall mfs move here

[sonic coral]

Nah you just can’t see the short ones 💀

[rain patio]

5’7 not bad

5’5 is woman height

Ur doomed

[late kestrel]

shorty

[sonic coral]

Two of my Chinese friends are 5’6-5’7 lol

[rain patio]

5’7 is normal for asian

[sonic coral]

Lol what

[rain patio]

Def not an inch

[west egret]

so I'm above average?

[late kestrel]

it doesnt fluctuate that much

[rain patio]

Its like few cm

[late kestrel]

well a few cm is an inch...

[rain patio]

Bruh shaved off an inch 💀

Prb less than 1cm

[sonic coral]

Sounds like I’m 5’10 💀

[late kestrel]

google says "as much as 1cm"

but i will say, 2cm is a lot

like almost too much

amirite or amirite

the comments on that site

"I already said I am 6'0.25 but I round down and just claim 6'0. Do you think I can get a away with a 6'1 claim?"

[teal jackal]

yeah you can round up to 6'1

I round up all the time

[tardy geode]

https://tenor.com/view/2omb-prayge-gif-24836247

prayge for ng hiring

[rain patio]

Wtf

Why flame coming out of his head

[fossil jewel]

he’s thinking

very hard

[tardy geode]

Oreos gg mate , good one

[tardy geode]

hardest prayge ever so

[chilly burrow]

I have uneven legs

So if I stand on 1 foot I'm 6'2 and on the othr 6'3

I just round down to 6'2

[sonic coral]

I’m flat footed so does that mean if I fix that I gain an inch

[late kestrel]

might as well go up

[night marsh]

Should I reach out to a company and tell them I am a citizen? They said they can't move forward because they can't sponsor OPT but I'm pretty sure I put down that I'm a citizen and it's also on my resume lmao

[sonic coral]

I would def reach out and clarify you are a citizen if they said they can’t sponsor lol

Also your resume says you’re a citizen lmao?

[rigid quail]

skills

• US citizen

[sonic coral]

Generally your application should say you’re a citizen so if they miss it that’s kinda scuffed tbh

[teal jackal]

just tell them

yeah

they're idiots for not seeing it

but its still an opening

the corolla gr takes enough demand off the civic type r that I can get a civic type r for msrp in 2025

[glass egret]

are you an idiot bruh. yea he literally withdraw in this job market to be unemployed. that makes sense

the asian tryhard to be andrew tate. on god

[glass egret]

bruh one day bruh. i will get the passport and proudly put it on my resume - US CITIZEN

[night marsh]

Yeah

[night marsh]

Yeah, heard it was useful to include. Keep it at the top along with my contact info

[sonic coral]

Interesting I’ve never considered doing that lol

[night marsh]

Thats what I'm thinking

[sonic coral]

How do you specify it lol

[night marsh]

"US Citizen"

Then contact info after that

[sonic coral]

Near your city / email?

[night marsh]

Yes

[sonic coral]

Could you post the anonymized version of the header im just curious how the format looks

[night marsh]

I'll do it once I'm back at my laptop

[sonic coral]

Bet

[night marsh]

Yeah I reached out via a LinkedIn Recruiter message lol

[sonic coral]

Hmm that is quite clean

I’ve never considered doing that lol

[night marsh]

I did it just in case

The "just in case" will come in handy this time hopefully

[loud sphinx]

amazon 🤮

[nocturne oriole]

Mine said which languages i spoke

(i actually am glad to put that and think it helps, everyone should be proud of their culture etc)

[sonic coral]

Eh I don’t do that just because Polish isn’t really a common corporate language lol

If you speak mandarin or Spanish tho I’d def put it

[fallen fox]

do you all write cover letters if there is an option to do so?

[nocturne oriole]

It’s up to u but u know what man i would put Polish cuz u speak it

And dat says somethin about u

[teal jackal]

It seems like a waste of space on the resume tbh

[nocturne oriole]

It’s one line

[teal jackal]

hm,

[nocturne oriole]

If u honest to god believe in diversity (not the PR dummie version, but like the real life thing) then u can justify it to yourself

Cuz u are bringing a diverse part of yourself to the field

[teal jackal]

I'm gonna bring a Level 2 autist into tech

[nocturne oriole]

I mean it’s rather silly cuz like even if somebody was skilled at minecraft i think that’s part of their diversity and prob makes em a better problem solver or whatever but like u cant put that on resume

Language tho is freebie

[rain patio]

[nocturne oriole]

Serious response, this doesnt have to be good or bad but if somebody has a learning disability and is in the field they prob know what it’s like to struggle

And they are better at certain work

Generalizing

Doesnt have to be true

[teal jackal]

yeah unironically a level 2 autist can be an irreplacable team player(given the culture is right for it)

some of my friends and my dad err on the side of saying that they've had better experience working with teams where everyone is like minded and on the same page about most things, other friends prefer diverse work environments

I'm completely neutral on the topic, all my life I've learned to adapt to environments I don't like so no matter what, I will find a way to adapt and be part of the team

[vagrant escarp]

ayo dont shit talk topg

[raw echo]

every time I see a company rescind I feel less critical of ppl reneging tbh

[night marsh]

Fuck that sucks to hear. Will spread word and wish best of luck brother

[night marsh]

Yeah at this point companies really shouldn't express a surprised pikachu face if that happens 😐

[chilly burrow]

Make sure to crosspost to #layoffs_support and #socials

Unfortunate this happened, esp on ur bday. I left a comment.

[vagrant escarp]

yeah thats unfortunate that you turned down other possible opportunities, but I think what this whole situation with the tech layoffs has taught everyone is that at the end of the day the companies will do what they gotta do and we can't count on them to watch out for our interests. It's generally good practice even when you are employed or have an offer to continue applying and looking at other possible avenues.

[desert edge]

Yeah I really should’ve continued applying

[vagrant escarp]

because the companies won't think twice even if they have to fire a couple thousand employees just to make whatever target they have set

so its kind of up to the employees themselves to watch out for their own self interests to make sure if they do get laid off or job rescinded they have some kind of plan

[pure mauve]

lmfao i just bombed an interview with a leidos a company that pays 80k

i just came in there 0 prep not giving a shit

[vagrant escarp]

lmao

[hearty walrus]

yes

[vagrant escarp]

yeah and some people may virtue signal and tell u its not good to do that...but the reality is the companies dont give a rats ass about u, so its on u as an individual to watch out for num 1, which is urself

[knotty talon]

I wish i had done this lol

Definitely would recommend if youre in that position

ye

And rejeted bbg and datadog offers

🥲

[jovial latch]

nothing is guaranteed

i mean im trying to get a offer rn but i sure as shit aint stopping there

[knotty talon]

Yea tbh its easy to get complacent once you get a rlly good offer

Because interviewing sucks ass

And is super time consuming

Its*

[jovial latch]

if companies are gonna layoff the bottom rung workers while the execs dont get hurt then i feel no guilt in reneging

[vagrant escarp]

and u shouldn't feel guilt

the companies will watch out for their interests, you gotta watch out for ur own

[jovial latch]

swe's are pretty high up in terms of worker salary n quality of life but at the end of the day they're still workers and will get fucked just like all other workers

thats the way i always saw it

[vagrant escarp]

yeah thats a good mindset

[jovial latch]

then you have silicon valley where the only peopel that can afford to live there are tech workers

i mean its gonna eat itself alive in the next decade, cause where tf are all the service workers gonna live lol

[vagrant escarp]

i think they are gonna start teaching programming in schools? idk

with chatGPT and even github copilot, its made it so u may not even need to know how to code that well

[jovial latch]

lmao, thats just standard, companies trying to force coding down everyones throats so the markets oversaturated

last thing we need is the entry level market being even more saturated

[vagrant escarp]

hmm but yeah, i wonder what the future would look like if cost of living continues to increase

[jovial latch]

lol 'if'

cities cant function without service workers so if they cant afford to live in a place they will leave

[glass egret]

so what, are you hurt?

[teal jackal]

senior SWEs at epic games make 200k
i have a feeling I know where I want my job hop to land me

[vagrant escarp]

lol nah bro, imagine someone getting hurt off discord msgs

[glass egret]

good you better

[teal jackal]

I think game dev has high demand in terms of people who want to work there

[fossil jewel]

terrible hours tho

[teal jackal]

I think the area within game dev I want to work in is with game engines.

Such as engine logic, tooling, and game infrastructure.

[fossil jewel]

robux

[teal jackal]

nope, but epic and bungie pay isn't so bad, around 200k or so

not sure about CoL

[rain patio]

no game dev

[fossil jewel]

that’s pretty good pay

[crystal delta]

pretty sure riot doesn't pay that bad

[teal jackal]

i forgot about riot yeah

but i dont realy play or like their games, they care a lot about hiring people who like their games

[rain patio]

is game dev wlb a meme

or accurate

[nova reef]

tbh most swes at roblox arent even game devs

[teal jackal]

but tbf a lot of devs at game companies aren't necessarily game devs either

a lot of them are working infra and backend tools/features

[rain patio]

kind of a niche tho i feel like u need game dev experience to become a game dev

[teal jackal]

not necessarily the frontline of making the game itself

[crystal delta]

pretty sure the titles are bloated

https://www.levels.fyi/?compare=Google,Riot Games,Amazon&track=Software Engineer

o damn i didn't know that

[teal jackal]

yes and no on game dev wlb

really depends on the studio

my friend interned at blizzard and got a return offer there, he even got on the credits for a World of warcraft dlc

it helps to like the game of the studio you're applying to

[nova reef]

https://www.ft.com/content/751342cf-3753-44e3-9a22-8bd2ebbac990 I hope he’ll be ok

[tardy geode]

[teal jackal]

my family friend's dad's company got bought out by microsoft, they didnt get jack shit in raises

probably a pattern that's important is being part of a studio where you're a big fan of the game

I'm at a crossroads anyways

I have absolutely no idea what my long term vision as a dev is gonna look like

my dad said that too

a lot of people who dont want to be managers cap as a senior dev

as an EM there's still room and potential for growth

[vagrant escarp]

oh for me i kinda dont mind being overworked

[teal jackal]

I'm not fully sure how levels work, but I guess like new grad + 3 levels is the ceiling for people who dont want to be managers

[vagrant escarp]

gotta advance that career

[teal jackal]

valid

[vagrant escarp]

and since we are still all super young anyways...best time to overwork is now, and once we hit like 35, we just chill with our staff software engineer jobs doing meetings

[fleet tundra]

Is anyone interviewing for HPE? I have a behavioral and a hacker rank afterward would love some advice on the process

[vagrant escarp]

and get paid like 800k

[teal jackal]

I don't have big plans for my personal life yet anyways

yeah I don't mind putting wlb on the tougher side

[vagrant escarp]

yeah not like we have a family or kids yet

or i guess that depends on where u work

when i looked at salaries at netflix...it was insanely high

dang thats a lot of stock

whats an IC?

@fallen fox when u hittin 300? or 1 interview

[fallen fox]

Did anyone here apply to the Corporate Banking Analyst at Barclays? Do they send out TWO auto-oas?

[fallen fox]

no idea

[pure mauve]

Lmfao this startup deadass ghosted me for scheduling final interviews

[teal jackal]

is there really that much demand for software managers

or is it more like

not as many people want to make that leap from dev to management

[tender sluice]

@signal trellis can you add a feedback button to job postings on simplify, even tho my filters are Entry level I get matched for jobs that say entry level in simplify, but when I click apply are actually senior

So it would be nice to have a feedback button so we can leave feedback on matches so y'all can investigate negative feedback and remove the mismatched job postings

[neon perch]

Can someone send the link for Barclays opening

[dusky tapir]

Ppl who work in games r annoying asf, every single one

[signal trellis]

There’s a report button actually, we’ll try to make this clearer. Appreciate the feedback!

[dawn sequoia]

I just signed up for simplify. need to finish making my account bc I got sidetracked the other day but during the process, when I was adding my skills, the skills I clicked on or added showed up in the button/cards but in white text on white background so I couldn't see what skill I already added

[sonic coral]

L4 is semi-terminal

You’re expected to get L4 at some point even if you don’t specifically go for promo, but for L5 you need to display leadership skills and basically do L5 stuff while you’re an L4

That being said most teams do have the leadership opportunities

Beyond L5 tho you really need to be on the right team so most switch to SDM

[teal jackal]

so basically you have to really want L5 to get L5 at google

[sonic coral]

Kinda yeah

But like if you want it you’ll most likely get it if you try

However for L5+ that is not the case

You need to have the right team at the right time

Yeah like you can get senior

Beyond that it’ll require the right circumstances

[vagrant escarp]

and yeah..most people are perfectly fine with L4

[sonic coral]

At google L5+ isn’t even politics it’s just like there straight up isn’t many opportunities for L6 ICs

[vagrant escarp]

since Ive hard as a senior or higher level u gotta understand the code base really well

[sonic coral]

There’s more people problems than technical problems to solve at that level is what my manager says

[vagrant escarp]

in terms of value I think being a L4 is what most people go for

[vagrant escarp]

yeah i heard theres a lot of politics

[sonic coral]

Like there’s just not enough technical problems to promote most past L5 IC

[peak ferry]

I honestly don't understand how/why there are so many IC levels

most challenges I see in building software are more so organizational rather than purely technical

[meager terrace]

facts

hi senti

[nocturne oriole]

Maybe it depends on your domain. My work area absolutely has levels of technical proficiency

And a good senior here is just straight up expected to know the ins and outs and get anybody unblocked

I dont think it’s sustainable to go into this field not aspiring to be a senior engineer. Maybe to you that means sigma grindset coder with no people skills but that’s not a true senior

[vagrant escarp]

yeah when i was doing my intern, it was pretty apparent the knowledge gap between a senior and someone who was just a standard software engineer

they knew how to solve all of my problems

[nocturne oriole]

The reason big tech levels are so regarded/respected is because they do follow standards btw

I’m not gonna say they are always fair but the requirements arent made up

[vagrant escarp]

where do u work at kirb?

[nocturne oriole]

At meta

[vagrant escarp]

oh nice u survived the layoffs?

[nocturne oriole]

Yeah somehow

Round 2 might come soon

But i will be safe

My team is ass but critical

[west egret]

I was stuck on a problem at my internship(mentor didn't fully know answer either) for 3 weeks. I just briefly described the situation and a senior gave a clear step-by-step answer in 3 mins.

The whole convo was under 5 mins.

[vagrant escarp]

yeah...i kinda of had a similar experience as well

[nocturne oriole]

Seniors will do that. They will multiply everybody else’s impact by guiding them too. They can corral and narrow down your work to things that matter. They spot problems before they happen. You let seniors design the system from ground up and it will scale and be sustained and refactorable etc

Below senior level u cant do all that

However where many are lacking is just dumbing stuff down for u lol. It’s like how being the best at something doesnt mean u can teach it

[peak ferry]

levels yea, but how many? like my work has jr/mid/sr which I initially thought was too coarse, but honestly I kinda warmed up to it.

[nocturne oriole]

I guess most people agree that junior mid senior are the basics right

Junior absolutely is a level

Mid level is just halfway to senior

Senior is ur a veteran

Anything beyond that is just an extension of how wide ur umbrella is or cross team impact or ur pushing big levers lol

Designing da system

[peak ferry]

idk how it works at big tech, but I'd be shocked if you go up the levels and it's just "more gooder at code/technical stuff" like I don't understand the concept of an IC that's >>L6 level, do they even exist?

like if ur designing systems u can't do that in isolation

[nocturne oriole]

It depends on your company but i think very safe to say that progression from jr to sr has necessary progression and thus plateau of technical skills

As in there is a hard skill floor of raw coding

At each level

[peak ferry]

fuck honestly I'm a jr and I can't do very much in isolation, but I'd argue that's kind a structural issue at my company, cuz there definitely should be tasks that can be done in isolation lol

[nocturne oriole]

I mean im jr too duh and the truth is u and i lack judgement to say “hey this task can be done solo in a vacuum”

Ur supposed to try for a couple hrs then maybe ask help

[peak ferry]

ya sorry if I wan't clear, but I meant like jr->sr obv has a tech progression, but I don't think it's something that has so much granularity that the 5-10 levels of SWEs make sense

[teal jackal]

Just because you're good at something doesn't mean you'll be a good mentor or teacher

Yeah I agree

[nocturne oriole]

They do exist and at L6+ yes ur an IC but ofc there is soft skills at play

Maybe half or more is soft skills

And big picture thinking

Not in da trenches

[peak ferry]

in my head that's not an IC lol

if ur making big plans and telling other people to do large parts of it ur not an IC in my books

[nocturne oriole]

It’s like a warrior on the battlefield i guess lol like in fire emblem or JRPG u send in strong guy to solo the other team

[dawn sequoia]

this person is in my linkedin dms: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cxmcc/
i cant tell if it's legit or not. they are saying that they are trying to build the engineering team at Hertz to modernize the iconic car rental brand. with fullstack and backend positions available (even for ng/no exp)

[nocturne oriole]

But strong boy also assists other units

[rigid lintel]

what's an IC?

[peak ferry]

individual contributor

I guess I can imagine a world in which they don't technically have direct reports, but they basically are still leading other people

[nocturne oriole]

The reason it’s a career track is cuz the fork in the road leads u down IC or management btw

Managing team or managing a project i guess

[peak ferry]

yea idk ig I'm just curious what these staff+ ICs actually do

managing project = IC?

[nocturne oriole]

Manager says go improve da system. Make it do X. The heavy hitter IC does it

And says hey manager actually if u ask me to do X then this will happen so let’s maybe try Y which will get u similar results

[peak ferry]

that doesn't seem too distinct from a normal sr to me but idk

[pulsar mural]

@rain patiobox

he left server

[nocturne oriole]

Well the L6+ IC will also talk to several managers too lol

[dawn sequoia]

@pulsar mural hi 👋

[peak ferry]

like I actually don't know any ICs that are L6+ so I don't have anything to go off of lol

[nocturne oriole]

Like i dont get it completely either tbh

That’s why i used game analogy

[peak ferry]

when I interned I never talked to anyone that sr

[nocturne oriole]

Or like isekai anime middle ages war

There is strategists and soldiers

[peak ferry]

and my current work doesn't have those extra levels lol

[pulsar mural]

Yo

[dawn sequoia]

Yo

[nova reef]

depends on the scale and how much impact "project" has too

if the decision's going to impact the whole platform/company, you cant have a sr or sometimes even staff to give the "go" sign

[livid yew]

depends on how big the company is

like we have some Senior Staff

[teal jackal]

Is there really that much need for that many managers

That most people looking to get promoted beyond senior dev end up becoming managers

[jovial latch]

middle management go brrrr

[teal jackal]

I heard that companies are laying off middle managers nowadays

[livid yew]

my manager still codes and pushes commits sometimes

[teal jackal]

Prob as a senior manager you don't really do much code anymore

[livid yew]

he is a sr manager

has 2 managers under him

[teal jackal]

Props to him

[livid yew]

my direct manager is a sr

[teal jackal]

Staying in touch with his people

[livid yew]

dude has been here for almost 18yrs

[vagrant escarp]

gaawwt damnn

thats commitment

[livid yew]

well he is from before the job-hopping generation

[vagrant escarp]

i guess the only benefit to him doing that is the company wouldnt dare lay him off now

[fossil jewel]

perhaps the wlb at comcast is also very nice

[jovial latch]

if companies bothered to retain coders instead of hiring new ones then people wouldnt fuckin job hop

[livid yew]

I try to work at each place for 2years before moving

[fossil jewel]

i met lots of ppl who stayed for real long at jp

[jovial latch]

its a problem that only exists because of company greed

[livid yew]

ok Kirb

but anything under 1yr is sus

[nocturne oriole]

Bro u been in the field like a year

[livid yew]

I am 2020 grad

fuck u mean

[nocturne oriole]

[fossil jewel]

yeah external hires get a bigger TC

[livid yew]

go to bed buddy

we need real mods

[nocturne oriole]

[livid yew]

[fossil jewel]

[vagrant escarp]

yeah one of the best ways to get a raise is to hop companies

[shy heath]

Anyone have any tips for negotiating salary without a competing offer?

[livid yew]

well I learned this very recently after joining this server

[fossil jewel]

yeah thats at any industry

[vagrant escarp]

pretend u got one

[livid yew]

before I joined this discord, I never considered moving around that much

[vagrant escarp]

dont sound desperate

[livid yew]

but with remote work, its easier

[vagrant escarp]

they wont rescind their offer just because you hint that you are considering between a couple options

[fossil jewel]

i mean if you stay 1 year then idk what roles you'd get considered for

[livid yew]

Speaking of JP

[fossil jewel]

i think 2 year mark makes you more experienced hire no?

[livid yew]

I have 4 JP recruiters in my DMs

[fossil jewel]

yeah they're hiring tech crazy

[vagrant escarp]

yeah or u just apply while ur working and if u get a better offer u jump ship

[fossil jewel]

since people leave after a bit

[vagrant escarp]

thats the better approach to doing it

[fossil jewel]

true, just be weary of your bonuses

sign on and such

[teal jackal]

My worst interview experience ever was at JPMC

[fossil jewel]

unfortunate

if i interview ppl im gonna be nice

:)

2 sum

[vagrant escarp]

yeah hop after u hit ur stock package

[livid yew]

stocks is such a new concept to me

[vagrant escarp]

theres strategy to leaving a company

[teal jackal]

Guy was rude and acted like "you don't belong here"
And then during the leetcode part I proved that my solution is correct using legitimate cases and he was just like "yeah I can't prove your solution is right so fuck you it doesn't count"

[vagrant escarp]

yes ur doing gods work

[livid yew]

LMAO

[fossil jewel]

[livid yew]

"The company will pay competitive salary (up to $200k or more depending on experience), yearly bonuses, as well as equity which could be valuable."

[pulsar mural]

I have status in this server

[fossil jewel]

yeah honestly i think my shittiest experience was nvidia

[pulsar mural]

I can get u banned in a snap of a finger

[livid yew]

[livid yew]

[fossil jewel]

dont think i wanna balance two jobs

[livid yew]

[fossil jewel]

i want my wlb

[vagrant escarp]

its easier if its fully remote

[livid yew]

I like having free time

I would take the pay cut for WLB buddy

[fossil jewel]

yeah fully remote still makes me

[livid yew]

could I work 2 jobs? sure

[vagrant escarp]

yeah just depends on what ur life goals are

[livid yew]

but like what do I gain? more TC? less WLB? more exp?

[vagrant escarp]

def not for everyone

[fossil jewel]

but like how would you talk about the more exp

"oh i worked two jobs"

[pulsar mural]

My life goal is to be successful like @fossil jewel

[livid yew]

💀

[vagrant escarp]

u put job 1 as ur experience

[pulsar mural]

[vagrant escarp]

and job 2 just basically never existed

[livid yew]

this Dan guy knows all the tricks bro

[pulsar mural]

I spread positivity

[vagrant escarp]

im working on job 1 my friend

[fossil jewel]

[livid yew]

yeah you are thinking too far in the future dude

slow down and live life

[vagrant escarp]

but im in the reddit just staying informed

its interesting reading about these things even if u dont end up doing it

[livid yew]

oh reddit can suck a massive cock

[teal jackal]

@pulsar mural you spread farts

[fossil jewel]

its a bubble lowkey tho, small percentage

[vagrant escarp]

yeah i think so too

very few people actually do this

[livid yew]

I believe with your level of experience JPMC would be looking for someone to make between $120-135k.

[fossil jewel]

even folks in this server are quite advanced

[fossil jewel]

bs

dont u make 135?

base

[pine topaz]

not gonna happen kid, with your non presitgious internships, your personality and the upcoming recession, you should start applying for mcdonald positions as a cook

[livid yew]

base is 110k

[fossil jewel]

oh

we have same base

[livid yew]

well pre merit raise

[fossil jewel]

different COL and taxes tho

[vagrant escarp]

yeah software engineers already make decent money, so most people don't care enough to balance 2 or more just to make some extra money

[livid yew]

idk what my raise will be this year

[pulsar mural]

no raise

because of recession

[fossil jewel]

this is the first time ur this mean

:(

i thought canadian == nice

[livid yew]

[pulsar mural]

@teal jackal

[fossil jewel]

she’s thinking for next year

[vagrant escarp]

how long u guys think the USA will last for

[fossil jewel]

like those people who put christmas decor a year in advance

[pine topaz]

we die in nuclear fallout or china takes over

that is my prediciton

[pulsar mural]

@pine topaz

[teal jackal]

a very long time imo
the idea that america will fall apart is FUD

[pulsar mural]

@pine topaz

[pine topaz]

STOP

@pulsar mural

[fossil jewel]

yeah lowkey US falling apart won’t happen soon

[vagrant escarp]

yeah i mean the U.S. has like 6 trillion in debt...we never payin that back

[pulsar mural]

@pine topaz

[pine topaz]

...

[pulsar mural]

@pine topaz

@pine topaz

[teal jackal]

thats how economics works, print money and produce bonds

as long as the economy grows proportionally

[vagrant escarp]

the U.S. is one day gonna just put their foot down and tell china to fk off and it depends on how they react

[pine topaz]

i dont care @pulsar mural

[teal jackal]

^

the national debt issue is really misunderstood

[pulsar mural]

@rain patio hi

[vagrant escarp]

yeah idk how long the U.S is gonna last

[pulsar mural]

@rain patio show shrimp babies

[vagrant escarp]

i really doubt it will last 1000 years

[fossil jewel]

i mean not like anyone here will

next gen problem

[vagrant escarp]

[teal jackal]

yeah that do be how economics works

economics is a manmade mindfuck

[vagrant escarp]

oh nice

[livid yew]

what else am I to do with my crypto lol

[vagrant escarp]

u gotta gamble in the stock market instead

if u lose its a tax write off

[livid yew]

my guy I am still trying to figure out how stonks work for taxes this year lol

[solid sonnet]

Guys I'm graduating my Master's degree program soon and now I'm applying for the OPT visa. It seems like I need all my past copies of CPT I-20 from bachelor's degree, but I don't have them anymore. Does this mean I'm doomed?

[livid yew]

I did not make enough to report tho

[vagrant escarp]

most brokerage sites should handle that stuff for u

like the tax part

[livid yew]

yep

Fidelity said forms should be here tomorrow

[graceful crown]

You can get them from the international office of ur school

[nocturne oriole]

[errant karma]

Just reach out to the international office of the school you did bachelors in. They keep records in your file

[nocturne oriole]

[rain patio]

wtf is this

[solid sonnet]

Kk good to know thanks guys

[lucid widget]

Hey guys, I am 2021 grad tryna get my cousin a job who is graduating this year. How is the market currently looking for 2023 for new grads?

[frank coyote]

Market is bad

[nocturne oriole]

Market is bad

[cedar gulch]

bad

[pine topaz]

[lucid widget]

Dang, when y’all think the market will swing up again. If it will anytime soon?

[teal jackal]

Maybe once this interest rate madness ends

[pine topaz]

When inflation rate is where at feds want, no one realy knows when

[vagrant escarp]

looks like my stock portfolio

[errant gorge]

It won’t be good for a while 😔

Newest inflation report shows a 0.1% decrease in inflation from last December

We are at 6.5% ish for inflation and fed wants it to be down to 2%

So the fed will increase interest rate further throughout this year

And the stock market didn’t really realize that fed is not stopping anytime soon and it celebrated prematurely

[random seal]

What is a good codility score for space_x?

[arctic pine]

Blind says rate hikes are priced in 😭🙏🙏🙏

[pastel bane]

would you feel yourself a jerk if you promised to go to a company but didnt in the end?

[earnest summit]

nah its normal

[jovial latch]

feel no guilt, companies would not hesitate to fuck you over (and they will)

[ivory stratus]

literally this

companies dgaf about you, dgaf about them either

get them bags

[jovial latch]

once you get a offer, get a 2nd, then a 3rd

and just keep going lol

too many fuckin layoffs and uncertainitiy in these times

tbh i do wonder when people regne (how the fuck do you spell it) in later months, a buncha spots open lol

i fuckin hope

i get the impression peopel have accepted multiple offers so idk

[ivory stratus]

yeah, if i had the luxury of having a lot of offers and having deadlines, i would absolutely accept whatever offers/negotiate and renege whatever ones i dont want

[vagrant escarp]

and then work at all of em at the same time

and get paid as much as a wall street trader

[ivory stratus]

but half the work lmao

[earnest summit]

i saw this guy on reddit that had like 11 jobs

[chilly burrow]

While dis may seem to only negatively impact companies

It also takes away jobs from the market, jobs that other grads could have gotten

[jovial latch]

You are right, but also companies be rescinding left and right

Having a offer ain't a guarantee of a job now

Not in there fuckin times

[nova reef]

does it take away jobs tho? it's not like the person's working at multiple companies at the same time

at some point the person has to renege, and that position goes back to the market unless the company wont be hiring (which is basically the same as rescinding the offer they were gonna give to another person)

[sour spindle]

8966 applicants 🥲

[fossil jewel]

how many times are they gonna repost this?

figma hella selective

[sour spindle]

God knows. It makes no sense to collect so many applications for very few positions.

[tardy geode]

its a reposted job

For real though. Don't make connections with a company, make them with your coworkers is the move.
And even then, if coworkers seem disappointed that the new member renegs, in this economic climate they'll come to understand

[glossy shard]

Any international student here getting call backs ?

[graceful crown]

Nope

[vagrant escarp]

[tardy geode]

😭

[shut crescent]

finally got 1 offer lmfao

[tardy geode]

congrats

[shut crescent]

thanks brother

been a ride

[tardy geode]

i am sicking of even seeing LC 😭

somehow surviving

[shut crescent]

its all luck tbh

i just focused on the 75 list

[timber rock]

got myself a masters offer as a backup yesterday

[tardy geode]

i have been just doing same probs like revision

[timber rock]

homeless arc not starting yet

[shut crescent]

nice

not a bad play cuz of this market

[tardy geode]

so i am currently at 125 mediums , 190 easies and 0 hards .

[shut crescent]

sheesh

[timber rock]

jeez

[tardy geode]

but i am honestly unable to do more

[shut crescent]

if u were asked to do any of those again though, would u be able to do so?

[tardy geode]

bruh this nothing , my roommate has 565 . with 380 mediums

[tardy geode]

yeah i would be able to

[shut crescent]

cuz in many interviews i got asked same exact questions

okay nice

[tardy geode]

i have understood them well , like even i can code it out while explaining

what and why

[shut crescent]

i failed this really easy interview cuz i couldnt remember 3 questions from LC lmao

[tardy geode]

i am just sick of LC style interviews

[shut crescent]

yeah its honestly a dumb strategy to determine if someone has the skillset for the job lmao

[neon perch]

Everything is dumb

[shut crescent]

often times it has no correlation

[tardy geode]

yeah

[neon perch]

It’s all luck in this atrocious market

[shut crescent]

i agree lol

[tardy geode]

yeah even i feel so

😦

[timber rock]

at this point im missing doing technicals

nothing except behaviourals and oas since like november

and sys design

[neon perch]

I gave so many OAs and ghosted ever since

[slow owl]

@shut crescent do u mind sharing where u got an offer from

u dont have to share of course

its motivating to hear people getting offers though

i just got rejected after 6 rounds of interviews

got hit with a system design interview

[tardy geode]

sys design is stillf okay , but LC styles makes 0 sense

[timber rock]

i feel u bro i just got rejected today after 4 rounds from a sys design as well

[tardy geode]

sys design is what you would actually do on your job

i mean

atleast its related

not saying DSA is completely unrealted

[shut crescent]

it was for a large construction company, they have a technology solutions department. its a data engineering position

[timber rock]

dsa is more fun

lol

[shut crescent]

i got lowballed tbh the offer is only $110k

[neon perch]

I can only wish to get an offer on a Friday and enjoy my weekend ffs 🥲

[shut crescent]

i live in the bay

the job is fully remote though

[tardy geode]

i can ace a sys design interview (i have done during my internship interview) but LC style i lack confidance

[timber rock]

this was my first sys design and thought I did pretty well

[slow owl]

same, I asked for feedback from my interviewer afterwards and he didn't say anything outrageous but he could have been trying to be nice

[shut crescent]

i gotta negotiate on tuesday now and ask for more -_- lol

[slow owl]

are u gonna stay in the bay area?

[shut crescent]

yeah i might stay at my parents house for a year

just to stack up some money before moving out lol

[slow owl]

sweet, thats a good way to save up money

yo rent is such a money suck

[shut crescent]

yeah

i might say that im going to be paying rent tho cuz the offer is so low tbh

theres no RSUs, no signing bonus either

just $110k base

[slow owl]

i dont think u need to say a reason for negotiating especially for that offer in bay area

no yearly bonuses either?

[jovial latch]

i dont like being asked leetcode type shit in live interviews

leetcode oa's whatever, its fine thats just a thing

in live interviews id rather you ask me bout technical concepts like sys design, oop, fuckin whatever

feels redudant and stupid when you do a leetcode type oa and then just get asked a leetcode type problem in the live interview

automated feedback emails after a rejection need to fuck off though ill tell you wht

[livid yew]

[stone granite]

Flexport cancelled my interview oooof looks like it’s full

[livid yew]

[gritty raptor]

when is your interview?

[lilac flare]

LEETCODE IS DOWN?!

[autumn jolt]

yess

I thought only I had problem

403 Forbidden

[lilac flare]

I hate life I was so close to solving a hard difficulty problem

I pay $160 for this kind of service

[split plaza]

It’s a sign

Leetcode telling us to go touch some grass

[lilac flare]

nope it's a sign to start submitting more applications bro

no grass until offer is found

[jovial latch]

tbh i believe theres a threshold you reach after doing enough leetcode

[stone granite]

7th March

[jovial latch]

diminishing returns and all

mind you i fucking hate leetcode

[stone granite]

Yea around 200 ish questions is enough I feel

As long as you are targeting all kinds of patterns

[jovial latch]

i just went through grind 75 and then decided i was fed up

[lilac flare]

self.touchingGrass = False

while not offer:
  self.grindLeetCode()

  self.interview()
  if self.offerLetter in self.Email:

[jovial latch]

its like im insulting my brain and my self worth in a sense by doing more leetcode

A. Prepare for masters, do well in GRE+IELTS, Have more Research -> Get into a decent Uni -> Do internships -> Join Full time (2.5 years timeframe at least)
B. Do at least 300+ LCs, apply to every job, and pray that there will be one that may sponsor a visa.
C. Join a local company that nobody heard of, gain experience of 3-4 years, apply to jobs as a Senior, and pray the same as before. (There is no MNC in my city)

christ the guys experience is kinda stacked ngl

though i cant say what you should do

dont know enough to say

[obsidian quartz]

Yeah, ik, tryna get out of this loop man!

[jovial latch]

i mean i guess it depends on your money situation

like if you need money rn, then i say you join a local company and do a job there while also applying to jobs right

if you got money though right, doing a masters abroad would improve things ig

though get advice from someone far more knowledgable then me

[obsidian quartz]

Money won't be a problem I guess. Just looking for the right career choice. Don't wanna do the same mistakes I did before, you know.
