You have no obligation to tell them your offer numbers or send the letter.
If they ask just say you respect the company's privacy and would do the exact same thing for them if someone else had asked.

Always so funny to see kids from top schools mald when their degree doesn't magically get them an HFT
I'm not from a top school
Just malding cause I can't get a job
brampton 
I remember you, naw I'm talking about other kids
Mostly those on reddit
Had a few folk that I thought were big shots a few years back now beg me for referrals lol
One mfer taunted me for not getting into Princeton and him getting in. Now he works for some no name startup back home lmfao
lmao how
How
He's just trash masquerading around as a smartass because he won a few olympiads
How do you go to princeton and not get a decent offer
imagine not getting into faang with princeton on your resume š
Bruh fang isnāt even good
He's trash that's why
some people idolize fang too much
Saying faang isn't even good
which company is that hook me the fk up
Is like saying 100k is poverty wages
just wait for layoffs my guy
Google 
not something to brag about
I made it through a layoff already though..m
Idk what your point is
Every company on the face of the earth does layoffs
@young peak how does it feel to be the š
Not really faang specific
I would be worried if I was working that little
cuz Iāve been there
Kinda rough rn ngl
I grinded for the lols last few weeks and now my team thinks that my normal output 
frick.... gotta bump 20 hours to 30 
My output got me an 8% raise though tf you mean
If you're delivering as intended then your hours doesn't matter
did you get laid off
Multiple rescinds
gg go next
He actually does 
For his weird project tho
Imagine that
8% raise without promo? how does it work
What are u tryna say
so you never worked there?
Prob just combating inflation but idk much about it either
Brother I worked there. Rescinded for ft returns
and other rescinds
Just saying you don't think FAANG is all that but you've been rejected from all of em...
I wasnāt?
Cuz I worked there
Yeah as an intern
Congrats though because I never had that opportunity
instead of ft
so why is fang not all that?
I came from no name internships to FAANG so I've honestly been feeling blessed this entire time
You saying FAANG ain't all that just invalidates how me and a lot of other folk feel lol
no company should be all that imo
Lemme clarify
fang has been going through crazy layoffs, not so interesting projects/ less impact for new grad. And stupid politics
what about jane street š
JS is crazy
Jane street ain't all that


They rejected me 
I got an interview for an internship with the state government
Bruh

but
donāt put anything on a pedestal is all
u never know
Probably can't get anything better this year
@pure mauve you double major in econ or math?
Basically no company is all that
Rn OpenAI really is all that
no need to compare where someone works
1 mill TC for L5
Everyone got different journey
i would say FAANG isnāt as exclusive as trading/hft
Naw some ppl built diffy
people from my not t100 school got google jobs
Just play to your strengths
ofc
are hft projects even remotely interesting
I'll also say that it depends on which HFT too
Citadel for 350k working 60 hrs in NYC? LMAO no
HRT 400k working 40 hrs in NYC? Yeah prob
yes
yeah but tbh getting HRT is still pretty hard without target school
exactly
My year I had 2 shots and got Citadel, but yeah I see your point
yeah your year was crazy for sure
money machine was going
Chaching
Recession hammer hit
Layoffs, yes. Projects/impacts/politics, quite team dependent
tbh with faang idk how crazy interesting the projects are, since most things are already in place no?
For me, a job is what you need to feed yourself and use the rest of the money for your own development.
outsider look, correct me if iām mistaken
This tbh
What I work on rn at Google is pretty much what I'd do at an HFT... I'm doing optimization and infra with cpp
extremely uninteresting lmao
I think getting anywhere in life is 80% being good at politics
promos are like 90% people skills and ass kissery
This actually. At least if you work in corporate
I've seen strong devs get stepped all over by weaker devs that can better advocate for themselves, it's just how it is
startups are like less "corporate"
Thereās a lotta duct tape holding shit together and unfucking that can be interesting
It can also be hell
Well 90% of jobs are corporate
But there are jobs are arenāt corporate
Like non profits, trades etc
Sure, but being successful in those still requires a ton of interpersonal skills
Doesn't matter if you're the Lebron James of electricians if nobody calls you
yeah thatās any older more established company. the tech debt 
bad news guys: you need social skills to advance in literally any job
Yea in the end what can get you far is your behavioral skills especially higher up the ladder
cs majors: gets into cs bc they have terrible social skills
There is also still a lot of new stuff to work on too donāt get me wrong
ye thatās at any company tbh
you're not youre cool af I can tell
Basically: donāt be a dick (for the average person).
Lmfao what a surprise, if you wanna go beyond a code monkey you gotta be good at working with people who woulda thought
basically donāt mald and reeee when someone corrects you lmaoo
swe is the most forgiving to us asocial donkeys
Yea I wouldnāt survive in business
Or politics
open mindedness and patience are the best skills you can work on
Corporate coding? Iām gucci
of course before youre cool and you will make a strong case to your manager during 1:1s and show that you make nice impacy
Is it worth getting into competitive programming or is leetcode enough?
'impacy' 
LC is fine for reg job tbh
impact* 
CP is HFT type stuff
what about math/stat skills? did you get interviewed on that?
When is 2024 opening up
nope not for SWE
Fuck 2023
sickkkkk
if you have high LC count but still struggle, you should figure out why youāre struggling bc it could be that youāre not applying knowledge right to solved problems
fuck 2023 and fuck ramp
rampant hate for ramp
fInD tHe FlAgS
But at the same time if youāre a pain in the ass to work with in terms of soft skills your team will hate you lol
No šš¼
theyāre š©
LMAO true
I have a job now but Iām sure as hell leeting everyday
Nah youāll just become designated code monkey instead
some people wanna be code monkeys
No one will want to promote you to a piece of leadership if everyone hates your guts lmfao
You need to show leadership skills
ricecamel's linkedin in 1 year: happy to announce my promotion to staff engineer at two sigma š
Lmfao this is what I realized as soon I increased my output
They don't say you're doing good, they just assign you more work
They basically get you to work more with the same pay
Do your work. Document your achievements. Throw it on your managers face.
at 1 year have competing offer and be like hey giv promo or ima gtfo
ok this is a better suggestion
But no your suggestion is better

Really otherwise your promotion wonāt have much tc increase
ya but it shouldnt be that way
Capitalism baby

Do your work. Get results. Sleep.
You can finish 100 tickets that lead to 200 defects

Ticket count isnāt a good metric
You can do 100 1-point stories compared to 5-7 8-point stories that have a greater impact
if you're an eng I and you're performing like eng II then that's a promo
most corps have a doc like this, it's good to get familiar with it
that one is from run the runway people love it for some reason
Yea really frame your achievements around their values
fucking barclays, they make you take 3 IQ tests and a 90 min coding round only to ghost you
degenerate company
LMAO IQ test?
Really screw them
yes fucking iq tests
fuck that
iq test, personality test etc
ya it's from run the runway
I applied to NYU for a medical data scientist role that had 120 personality questions
I am not joking
Really
120 questions
most faang ladders can be found online
I just want a job tbh
ENFJ 
oh this isnāt ⦠16 personalities?
Launches and Landings
Bruh I think some bank made me take this test once where there was a reflex test and I had to play the prisoner's dilemma game (for a SWE role)
Other than that it's just an accumulation of consistently good performance
bruh what the fuck 
oh pymetrics?
those are ez
Yeahh
well i never got through one so I guess my reflexes are shit?
i haven't done once since like sophomore year when I got resume screened by everyone tho, so not sure actually haha
i only had it once and it was valid for the next times i applied
grind osu
i think hiring should just take WPM
i make typos
because if u hire more ppl with high WPM and type randomly, time for them to type a sequence of code that does what you need is lower
for some reason i make typos when typing but not writing
you're kinda cracked imo

man built a whole CI/CD pipeline from scratch
caused comcast to be part of CAANG
The C in CAANG is for Citadel
aldi?
premade meal - spinach and alfredo farfalle

I like Aldi
Is there any company which is hiring new grads?
Not many...
comcast
Tesla, Box, Visa
Box isn't hiring
Has anyone given OA for Sofi? Any interview updates?
They filled it internally
did box close their app within 24 hours?

I GOT AN APPLE L4 OFFER
HOLY FUCK
Bruhhhhhhh
I'm actually crying at the office rn
I've applied to Apple for 5 years straight, never made it past the resume screen
I finally did it
you already did the interview
I thought I fucked it up because I got a question wrong
I thought you just had recruiter call
They got back to me like 2 days after the onsite
is that senior engineer ? L4?
nice !
Congrats!
One question but rn they hard asf to get into
I'm genuinely shocked and shaking
You planning on taking it?
what was the question? share the deets
Yogi kinda wrong channel my guy but good shit 
has anyone interviewed at tegus before
i have phone screen with recruiter this week
LETS FUCKING GO YOGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 
Google > Apple pipeline confirmed
@young peak describe the journey to land apple
story time with uncle yogi
How would someone prepare for technical questions based on these topics?
congrats homie!
ChatGPT might be able to prepare a good study plan for you
what prompt should I give?
Exactly what you posted here
and paste the screenshot text
bro crying in the club
no fr though good stuff bro, congrats on snagging that š
Congrats big dawg
Did anyone give sezzle OA
Wuts ur current YOE @silent reef

if I were to guess apple TC around 350?
woah @young peak š congrats
Oh hey, Iāve mainly been applying to places on LinkedIn, is there any other places where I should be looking to apply to companies
Iām mainly looking for new grad roles
Also I fixed up my resume can someone take a look at it?
when do job apps open for people who graduate in dec 2023
is your position swe?
yooo show me de wey, can i dm?
Are new grad roles still open?
I'm doing a swe internship rn and have another one in Summer. I'm trying to get a Fall internship but shits impossible. I'm pretty confident that I can get return offers from both of them but I cannot stay unemployed. I'm thinking about applying to ng/junior roles rn so I have more options. I graduate this December (online postbacc)
is 1 swe internship & 1 incoming internship good enough for junior lvl?
yes
generally yeah
I have 2 internships and it's not helping in this market
But if the economy is good you're chilling
some of these 5Head companies need 5+ years of exp for a junior level role though
Just apply to whatever you see, but keep expectations low
aight
If I don't get anything I might have to move drugs or smth this Fall
gotta pay the bills
damn
š
I can relate bro
bruh
yeah there are companies which want 2+ years of experience for SWE 1
ngl gonna come out this recession booming
like boom times gonna go crazy
talking boom boom
Yeah I'm a SWE. The position offered at Apple is also SWE.
The difference they told me is that MLEs are gonna be building the actual ML models and whatnot but SWEs around the ML focus area are tasked with building everything that surrounds/pull from it
Just ask here homie would be more helpful to others that way
Saw an HM on LinkedIn post about openings at Apple for SWEs focused on ML. That sounded like me plus the location was Seattle so figured it'd be a good fit. I contacted him, he instantly asked for my resume and sent it over.
About a month later I got a call from a rec just asking about my experiences, expectations etc. I got put into the ICT3 pipeline but they always referred it as "mid level".
All my technicals were LC mediums and hards. All the hards were DP found on top tagged. All behaviors were simple, as long as you've read like a blog about their engineering culture
I just gave my onsite like 3 days ago... They were super quick for some reason. I guess thry need ML folk rn?
My sys design knowledge exclusively comes from system design primer + the building data intensive systems book. Plus that's one area where I'm really confident. It's a mix of bullshit buzzwords and actual knowledge without diving too crazy, so I excell in that really well lol
For LC, I didn't grind at all tbh.. too busy with work and life.
At Google our infra depends but it's been mostly cpp for me. Can't tell you specifics tho
what's the trick to nailing those difficult LC, was it purely more of a theoretical breakdown of questions, that you just implemented?
Most hards from how I see it are just 2-3 mediums layered on top like a chained puzzle
You unlock the core first, show how it's needed and why it's not enough (aka your brute force)
Build an abstraction on top, to show that you can make it faster by utilizing a trick like memorization or some algorithm (aka optimization)
Then you employ the last layer which is again another nifty trick like a math equation or something to make it more optimized and pass edge cases
All the way up to L5 they'll ask technicals homie
Aka senior
Staff+ it'll be different I think but I'm not there yet so I'll worry about it later
At mid level, you're expected to know high level sys design for sure
And at senior you can simplify complex systems and break things down, showcase more brevity and breadth
that's inspirational af... opportunity presented itself and you went all in lfgggg 
I'm curious have you been planning on leaving goog?
or is this kinda random?
New offer?
Oh it's working 
it's "new" until we're rejected 
"Status Inactive
Application was not selected."


u got updates through that portal?
o sheit, you just mentioned that, sorry to hear
im 100% ghosted there
when do ng apps open for people who graduate in dec 2023
Please limit this message to #personal_projects
š
how much does having an summer internship help for new grad?
react to this message, people with offers (international folks)
-
had summer internships, got return ft offer
-
not had any summer internships, but got ft offers
i saw a job posting that said "The whole team tends to work greater than 12 hours in the office"
has anyone come across any companies in nyc preferably financial that say stuff like this. on their application or anything
will ng 24 be better?
being an international possible graduating next march or june, what should I focus on?
does referral matter ?
in google TM, but not matched yet š¦
for summer
cool
ahh that gives me hope
thanks man
I hope sooo 
technically dec 2023 is the same as 2024 but this chat is more aimed towards may/june grads having a 2024 would be nice
still very early for 2024 channel
we're not even halfway done with 2023 and still like 4 months from 2024 recruiting season
recruiter for a trading firm just scheduled a catch up call after bombing their final last week

2 offers. now i can cancel cognizant and stop applying 
holding out hope for this still, but at least i can chill now lol
LETS FREAKING GOOOOO
been applying since september and got nothing until suddenly 2 (maybe 3) offers within 1 week. we're all gonna make it 
which company
kinda curious
and you got an offer from them?
The offer is from a pretty cool local company
Thanku
They have offices in sydney, singapore and amsterdam too but I think they were only hiring in London yeah
ah ic
i am gonna grind hft again beginning june/july then
not many huge places hiring
yeah
YOOOOOO MY BRO DID IT

alterium the quant god š»

the witch-er was a good name tbh
sadly i must shed myself of that title and leave it for the future generations to inherit
Donāt do ur kids like that 
their options are witch or go to the mines
Yeah
When do applications for new grad positions (if they exist) start? For those graduating in December 2023
july
yeah sounds dope
i'm grinding for c++ shops
like jump/hrt
was never able to get jump interviews
i heard witch stopped hiring
I didnāt know they could do that LOL
Congrats!
thanku lads
You got them both within a 1-2 week period right?
yeah, i got the other last tuesday
Did you officially reject cognizant?
i never even "officially" got the offer, i just got an email telling me in getting an offer within the next 2 weeks
Bruh lmao
I would have held off a little on it but you got 2 more offers so you should be fine
there's pretty much no chance of getting my other one rescinded so im fine
Also not sure if there any differences in how reneges are viewed in UK
Yeah lol
cant really say i care if i get blacklisted
Had this really confusing problem for my hackerrank challenge. It had to do with finding spam words in a sentence, but the test cases themselves couldn't decide on whether the matching is case insensitive or not
and lower headcount
I would run my code and there would be one test case that fails because it assumes the spam detection process is case insensitive. Upon making the change, another test case fails because it assumes case-sensitive matching
^
This is the most important diff
Interviews are not harder than internships tbh
Just more rounds overall
vanguard?
No it was some other startup
Do you work at vanguard?
are u starting asap
Outside hire new grad is really hard to land rn
oh no but i had the same question for vanguard OA
and it was hackerrank
I see
I had no idea how you would compare words faster than O(N^2)
But outside of the extreme case, I wish they would've formatted their test cases better
The Pattern/Matcher library for Java couldn't make up it's mind between case sensitivity
I start on 12th June but its a small company and they've not been affected by the recession or had any freezes or layoffs, profits are increasing too
So unless shit really really hits the fan I'm chilling

thanks bro
been a tough season for both of us but we made it lol
Congrats honestly
Madelyn Machado, 33, who held a position as a recruiter at Meta, says that after joining the company in September 2021, she spent much of her time in meetings that didnāt accomplish anything, and that the parent of Facebook and Instagram had too many recruiters and not enough work for them to do.
In a viral TikTok video documenting her experience, she explains that she was paid $190,000 a year and told she wasnāt expected to hire anyone in her first year.
bruh wut
i'm tired of hearing recruiters being lumped in with tech workers
I dislike recruiters
Ty
it's always non-engineering positions that seem to be whinging about getting laid off
and I'm confused too, because I'd really like to see a breakdown of layoffs
if 90k recruiters and non-engineer get laid off and 10k developers, why is that an excuse to suddenly freeze hiring and depress wages for developers
Not many layoffs in April
Lol right
Maybe I will get a job
I had an interview with this small company consultancy type place
Idk these companies always seem sus to me
this doesn't give a breakdown by position though
oh nvm u have to go to google docks
yea
yeah its like if i work for caterpillar in their digital department, does that make me a construction worker 
i guess the argument could be made that it's "tech industry" versus "people who work direclty with tech on a day to day basis"
like entry level != junior
Depends on the entry level..
I can make the argument that an "entry level" person after 6 months at FAANG is definitely as competent as a junior
Prob mid level even
i mean like, companies advertising as entry-level, but itās like āentry levelā to the company as in youāre just a new person. They still want you to have 5+ years experience.
like tenure
Hate that
yeah
Oh lmao then yeah you're right
Despise em
Hey guys are they still hiring for 2023 new grad roles?
just go get a shitty 60k it job until you find somethijng
infosys just opened grad roles in uk
Where can I find 60k job?
do i get the offer then nego cognizant then reject anyway
im doing one right now
at Conduent
pays 60k for a shitty it role
garbage job but at least i can somewhat survive
Do you guys hire new grads?
not worth your time, go do something fun instead 
ye if u have a cs degree
it boys get a hardon and insta hire you
look for it roles around you
Lmaoo
Do they hire internationals?
Bro can you refer me?
i just joined but i can try
I'll pm you
Can you share the cognizant role.. I also want to apply
Can you refer me @fallen fox
Bruh š lemme check

if you want to sure
Bro's gonna be rolling in those referral bonuses lol
I don't wanna get deported lol
Well
Need money, don't mind going back home
But need money lol
indeed
nah they manage nj's ezpass system
10 miles from where i live
i thought about that as well but my bills are catching up

im mass applying to swe roles
if i get something, ill quit
dont have money for masters 
sure
fuck them they dont deserve you
and now i got a reject
Wtf
one fucking call after so many apps
and it gets cancelled
lord have mercy on me

thomson reuters recruiter pulled the same shit on me
called me at the scheduled meeting time to say that the position is no longer open
had an ebay recruiter set up an interview then ghost me indefinitely

anyone who had bny mellon superday have any tips please?
June 2023
Does anyone know a good tutorial to file 540NR state tax form?
Ty boss
had a tesla recruiter call me for 50 minutes, and said he wanted to schedule an interview the following week
never responded to me again after that call
yo guys i just got scheduled my first phone screen with some random company, that will 'cover basics about background and experience'
how should i prepare?
or any tips i guess
If it's just basics then it should be fine ig
If they are treating Staff Software Engineers like this then what can I even say š¦


TC or GTFO
Is perpay not hiring?
Cause they are just resume rejecting me lol
But they have the position still open
Maybe a fake job listing

is sofi hiring in their nyc office?
UK bros enjoy the job drop 
sofi's interviews aren't really that difficult
they asked me braindead questions in the final round last year

ahhhhhh can this misery fucking end pls
wanna fuckin hurl myself out a window

only thing that can save this market
Stupid question, but has anyone interview for widewail?
Honestly yeah
They are a tiny startup company located in Burlington, Vermont.
well it might be just resume and behavioral then
The lead recruiter said that it would be a quick intro call, but the timeslot is 45 minutes 
I don't mind failing my WiseStart OA tonight, but I pray to god I don't fuck up Widewail's interview
@cloud zinc are you intl?
should I pass the latter, I don't need to find housing and I could potentially start my career with 90k maximum
nope, US Citizen local to vermont
ah okay
which in hindsight, might be the reason why its been hard to find something
so it might be them introducing themselves , talking about the company , then walking through your resume and some behaviorals
then they would also tell about the process
Since it is a startup company, with a fancy office, I don't want to underestimate the interview
so this will all take around 35-40 mins , last 5 mins for questions

i would say
go overprepared
this market is shit , no margin for error tbh
nothing like this has existed in burlington VT for over a decade
this looks like a showroom
i always overprepd for internship interviews
its better to be overprepd tbh
in fact, prior to joining this server, I've been grilled on the cscareerquestion subreddit because Vermont is the last place to be considered "tech central"
Hey All, my company is hiring in UK for Remote New Grad role(0-2+ yrs experience). Please let me know if you need a referral(Only UK people preferred, company doesn't sponsor visa)
i thought that was Montana
but even montana has oracle, snowflake, Sofi cognizant etc
nah man. Utah has more of a tech presence than Vermont.
Spotify really needs to have an incognito mode so some music doesn't interfere with our suggestions
Nerves can get the best of you
nah the mfer interviewer started asking me about React hooks
dude i sat for a python dev interview like 3 years back where the interview asked me all java stuff
š š š š š
Genuinely
then he was like i thought this is for a java dev interview
i was like bro are you high or me
š
i purposely make errors so that they don't think I'm too perfect, anyone who is too perfect is sus


well i tried acting dumb then i realised i acted way too much and got rejected š
like i knew what the useMemo hook did but i sounded dumb while explaining it then i realised midway that i have made it so obvious
š
Anyone brave enough to submit a general app https://boards.greenhouse.io/liveramp/jobs/2542445
I'm brave enough to apply to Java jobs with no Java experience so yes
Fuck you
I was a freshman and had been coding for less than a year

imo i aint getting paid to filter my apps
the recruiter is tho
let em earn their paycheques
bro. I did the same shit with veeva. ez coding but I was like
whatever good things happen to others should happen to me
one of my interview with a local startup, they asked me python oops, java oops, C# oops and react hooksš
hope yall are happy and thriving
no lol




Thank you

yeah but c# basically microsoft java
Thereās embellishment and flat out lying that becomes obvious

uh oh am I getting honey dicked with this again
i would say I'm intermediate java, and code in it regularly
but yeah fair enough
is this fkin dev ops SDET
lol
u said that last time
this is just some company in the area
they're like small machine and labels and shit like that iirc
idek
at this point I will take anything that isn't power bi or straight up testing or ERP configuration
i'm so bored in my current job that I just don't do it
I literally work for like 2 hours before my dailiy meetings and then skate the rest of the day unless shit is broken
nah, i'm rotting away
before my full potential is being realized
it's also like 64k a year and I have soon to be 4 kids and expensive tastes
nah i just need 90-100k
900K pretty nice
lmao
everyone wants to do 70-80 i think
yes
and I have 0 yoe
but 10 in IT job, which I will argue makes me qualified for that salary even if it's not direct experience
yeah it's what i been trying to do
ask me an infra question
š„¹
no
GCP if anything
technically azure at my job, but I am hands off because my boss is a masochist
no
what is that
like database admin?
or like data warehousing and shit?
no kafka, but I am decent with basic relational db and can set up my own fuckaround ones
I put databricks on my resume because we did it in my advanced DB class
but meh
like pandas?
here is a use case I've done
and that was just data set side
i wrote stuff for the actual app harness back/front end to interact with model trained on the data as well
but since this was all academic experience it has like 0 weight
at least that what it seems like
so you think I should do like some sort of AWS data engineer course?
do you have recc'd?
like course reccomendations in particular
or paths
you know the problem is that my current job has like 0 forward training - I've asked to be taught how to do things and just been kind of left to my own devices
honestly if my boss had gotten me trained on our sql/dbs in my 2-3rd year I'd probably be able to shoulder part of the huge load he has today
but here I am with next to 0 knowledge on how the back end of our stack works
I don't even remember applying to this place šš
what is it, cloud practioner?
such creative language
lol me with peak6
2 years ago i applied to their internship and they gave the hardest OA i ever had
i read the questions, tried to understand, read them again. then i just closed the hackerrank

this season i applied and was like "why did i do it" and they sent me 5 emails reminding me to do OA then finally rejected me last week
its still hard as shit 
i wrote maybe 4 lines of code and closed it
yeah no
hell no
im getting rejected without even applying g fucking g 
i looked at their pay on levels and for quant type questions and work its on the lower end (still amazing pay but other HFT raised the bar)
yeah i donāt wanna look at c++
Maybe the opposite will happen once you apply and you'll end up with an offer instead

i have!! i hope you have too
yooooo
How tough is it to pass
Cause I want to get all the AWS certs
Plus the internal cert at Comcast
im taking it soon
No, because you need to be able to practice cloud to be able to become an associate

is this the one?
if you're talking to me, there's 0 chance for any sort of bonus internally
I have to get an internal cert at some point
In order to use IAM and roles
It's gated behind an exam
I believe it's similar
But focuses more on internal policies and our custom AWS solutions
No it's an internal exam separate from AWS
i stg AWS makes me feel like i'm dyslexic, I can never figure out where to go on these sites and find what I need
it's the same when I look at the actual aws cloud platform, all the names are confusing af
i'd rather just stick with GCP
yeah $150 for the chance to take an exam
laf
Pearson VUE testing center or online proctored exam.
ahhh pearson vue
I mean do I like put that on my resume
I am like 90% some guy at my work spent the first 2-4 months in the pandemic learning some AWS architect stuff and he went on to get a job that was like double his salary (which I guess he 100% was not qualified for)
I should look internally to see if work provides courses to prep, and pays for them
