ah i see

[obsidian crater]

I’m glad techie was banned. He made me feel discriminated against and unsafe

[timber rock]

I’m glad techie was banned. He made me feel discriminated against and unsafe

[fallen fox]

I’m glad techie was banned. He made me feel discriminated against and unsafe

[grizzled bronze]

We need Yogi unbanned though, at least he works at Google

It's a great loss for this Discord banning a Googler, we all need referrals

[obsidian crater]

Yogi won't give anyone referrals

He is too cracked

[grizzled bronze]

Then keep him banned

[obsidian crater]

Yogi is married though

Idk what sexist shit he said

[timber rock]

i don’t think i’ve ever seen yogi talk about anything other than his tc

[grizzled bronze]

Trust me, it was racist/sexist

[fallen fox]

[obsidian crater]

[grizzled bronze]

He posted good advice though on negotiating

[dusty basin]

Speak for urself bro

[swift falcon]

[west egret]

Yogi isn't so great? Are you kidding me? When was the last time you saw a SWE with such high TC as an L3? Yogi puts the game in another level, and we will be blessed if we ever see a SWE with his skill and passion for the game again. Interviewers break your hopes and dreams. Tech companies break their promises. Yogi breaks the rules. You can keep your statistics. I prefer the magic.

[cloud zinc]

I am absolutely lost

off topic, but are there any alternatives to glassdoor for company/position reviews?

[stone granite]

Blind is the best for this

[static quarry]

for visa code signal i got 1,2,4 and WAS so close to 3

but ran out of time :/

does anyone have experience with visa new grad process

[teal jackal]

@pulsar mural

[serene nymph]

fuk databricks?

[tawdry nacelle]

I hate places that make you do OAs to apply, not to go through the interview process, but to just apply and get auto rejected 24 hours later

and it's fucking codesignal too which I hate the most out of all OA sites

[grizzled bronze]

So you hate Block

[tawdry nacelle]

Block, Ramp, and was applying to the square position so add them to the list

tbh I'm debating not even finishing this app bc it's stupid how companies wanna do that

[grizzled bronze]

Square is Block

[tawdry nacelle]

oh, well I doubly hate them

[grizzled bronze]

Block's process is really long too

#1106682331630141632 message

[tawdry nacelle]

They better pay really good if that's the case

they are a san fran comapny and remote so that should say MINIMUM $100k

bc if you do all of that and they only offer you 70k, I would be livid

[grizzled bronze]

They pay well.

Zone A: USD $125,000
Zone B: USD $118,800
Zone C: USD $112,500
Zone D: USD $106,300

https://careers.smartrecruiters.com/Square/us-zones

[tawdry nacelle]

for SF? you cannot survive on that there

the cost of living in SF is dumb high

[tawdry nacelle]

ok $125k for a new grad role is nice

still annoyed by how long that interview length and needing to do an OA before even getting your app reviewed is stupid

TikTok also does something similar to where everytime I've applied with for their new grad roles, they make you do a hackerrank assessment before your resume gets reviewed

[grizzled bronze]

It's annoying, but did you see how many applicants that block app got?

[tawdry nacelle]

no

but seeing how you brought it up, it's probably a lot

where do you even see how many people applied?

shiiiit that does sound good

also doesn't seem bad, they look like they work with online payment systems?

I have a thing where as long as I'm not working for a defense company, I don't really care what the company does

oh so you don't need to do it before they review your resume

tbh the job is backend, but I'm hoping they might try and put me in the mobile/frontend teams

oh so like tiktok where after you apply for X amount of days they'll email you saying to do the OA

[grizzled bronze]

https://www.businessinsider.com/how-genz-working-2-remote-jobs-gets-away-with-it-2023-5

[tawdry nacelle]

I have some backend experience but I'm definitely stronger in those fields

tbh those are the roles I ideally want but I will take anything

[pine topaz]

are you planing on doing this

[tawdry nacelle]

TS* and I know Java

ok but if they give me a Java template, it's not game over for me

[grizzled bronze]

No, getting even one offer is hard

Even if I got two, I'd still accept just one, I can learn better and then job hop after a year

[pine topaz]

i believee in you

yeah id get burnt out so fast

[teal jackal]

Wait some people don't want to do bwckendv

[static quarry]

backend >>

[tawdry nacelle]

I've been told to do LC in less wordy languages in order to save time writing the code, so do something like python

yea my first ever OA I did in Java and I timed out bc Idk that

[teal jackal]

I got fucked in bum

[tawdry nacelle]

That might be from the idea how a lot of bootcamps from what I see only teach people js and how to make React apps

[teal jackal]

JavaScript is ass

[tawdry nacelle]

Idk for my uni, all data structure and algo classes and low level coding classes are taught in C/Java

[teal jackal]

Interesting, I didn't know that JavaScript frameworks were so oversaturated because of boot camps and tutorials

[tawdry nacelle]

Yea that I'm not surprised bc in my case we were forced to learn it for a required core class you are supposed to take your junior/senior year and a good amount of SD projects are web and mobile apps so people still use it so it's most fresh in their minds unless they love coding in a particular language or internship experience with a different language

well also isn't the issue of JS the compiler with node.js, bc I remember hearing people to make their own version of node that fixes the issues of node

[teal jackal]

I philosophically just don't like js

[tawdry nacelle]

I like it and know it has it's issues, but every language has it's issues

eh my senior design project (meant for and put on both app stores) in js with my group and it wasn't bad

the most annoying part I remember getting annoyed over was when it came to hosting the backend on Azure

[severe pendant]

has anyone interviewed with veeva recently ?

[fresh mango]

Java interview

Was wild 1

[severe pendant]

is it hard

[tardy geode]

are you ex-zon?

[timber rock]

Just finished uni

1 month until I become a wage slave for the rest of my life

[autumn iris]

[tardy geode]

[brave forge]

I wanna be a wage slavey

[tardy geode]

see i am throwing green paper at you

that's how politicians become millionaires

[timber rock]

c’mere x

[obsidian crater]

ratata

[south sable]

did a screen in beginning of April

[autumn iris]

[tardy geode]

[autumn iris]

[tardy geode]

[bold pier]

Same bestie!

[bold pier]

Inject it into my veins!

[steep sundial]

I love being micro-managed. Said no one ever

[old vector]

has anyone interviewed for plaid for new grad here

[swift falcon]

hey, at least the requirements are simple and they're up front about everything

better than all the cookie cutter word salad shits you get out in the wild

[tacit jasper]

When should I start applying for 2024 new grad stuff

is the github list repo up yet

[crystal steppe]

Nah

[brave forge]

apparently June will be when amazon and capital one will come out, based on how they did new-grad last year it dropped in June

it actually sucks im not ready for but they are my 2024 dream company i got to double time grind

[crystal steppe]

I heard from senior people inside the company that it will be around December for amazon

[brave forge]

wtf delaying new grad. I guess they can be a backup company

[timber rock]

[swift falcon]

is there a guide somewhere on all this lingo and shit

i been in this server for like a month and still have no idea what is actually going on with this and the timelines for positions

[brave forge]

basically 2024 is going to be the worst year for new-grads in history and the companies will be going crazy trying weird new tactics for hiring to make new-grad life even worse just because they have so much demand for their probably even fewer positions then last year they are hiring for. Also June might see some big companies drop new-grad 2024 positions, but most will come out in July or August

[obsidian crater]

2024 isn't the worst year lol

probably 2008

[crystal steppe]

Hunger games, yo! It's gonna be hell of a jungle

[sonic coral]

I think for tech it’s gonna be worse

Thousands of laid off industry people competing with 2023 and 2024 fresh grads

[rigid quail]

i don’t understand how 2024 will be worse than 2023

[tardy geode]

my friends graduating in august and december pitying on me and feeling safe for themselved

how foolish of em

[rigid quail]

if the layoffs stop eventually teams will get budgets to hire

[tardy geode]

"markets gonna be better in dec" .... ass statement imo

companies are doing mini layoffs and that too many aren't aware of silent layoffs happening

[rigid quail]

and why does that mean 2024 will be worse

[tardy geode]

coz many laidoff peeps are on severance and severance means legally they are employed

[rigid quail]

the demand will be higher because many newgrads will carry over to next year but that doesn’t mean the supply of jobs will be less

[tardy geode]

also 2023 people who have just taken something to stop unemployment would be competing too

[sonic coral]

Lmfao bold of you to assume they’re gonna stop

Msft literally had a fresh round like a month ago

[tardy geode]

no wonder amazon would do more layoffs

[rigid quail]

all layoffs stop eventually otherwise the company goes bankrupt

[sonic coral]

Lol you really don’t realize the sheer amount of overhiring these big tech companies did

[steep sundial]

Plaid is hiring?

[tardy geode]

dude meta blew up like 2x in the past year

[tardy geode]

10k applicants for 1 position

[rigid quail]

i do and they’re compensating for it right now, but big tech is not everything not everyone overhired

[tardy geode]

smh its as good as not hiring

[sonic coral]

Laid off big tech people are flooding the market

[old vector]

yeah but I have special circumstances around that

[obsidian crater]

it's over bro

[steep sundial]

Rip man

[obsidian crater]

rip us

should've become a pharmacist or something

[west egret]

Other professions are never like how you imagine

[crystal steppe]

People who graduated in 2022 and 2023 that didn't find a job are competing with people that will graduate I'm 2024

[timber rock]

if you guys really cared about the market you would switch career to reduce competition in tech

[obsidian crater]

better than unemployment lol

tech is oversaturated now so most of us gonna be unemployed

[crystal steppe]

Loool I feel it has reached its peak

People are saying there's gonna be demand for EE for quantum computing

[west egret]

Over saturated for entry level for sure

Mid and senior idk

[crystal steppe]

I would say mid and senior level there are tons of opportunities

[obsidian crater]

Companies now call 3 years of exp junior

So idk lol

also if you can't get any entry level jobs

you can't even really become senior

[west egret]

I mean is this from a few cherry picked postings or are the majority of entry level postings asking for 3 years experience

[obsidian crater]

I'd say like 90% of entry level or "Jr" positions ask for 1-3

There are very few postings that literally mention new grad or 0 experience

[west egret]

It’s also the end of 2023 season

[crystal steppe]

Internships counts

[west egret]

So there would be less NG positions in general….

[timber rock]

new grads don’t usually go for straight up junior positions

[west egret]

I always saw requirements on postings as a wishlist

[timber rock]

it’s very normal for junior positions to ask for at least 1 yoe

[west egret]

Unless it’s about whether you qualify as a NG, security clearance, etc it doesn’t matter

[fossil jewel]

kinda oversaturated tbh

[obsidian crater]

I don't think I'm ever getting a job tbh

[fossil jewel]

its definitely harder for intl

[west egret]

Next to nothing

[obsidian crater]

rip

I mean I don't literally mean pharmacist

But maybe like an accountant or something

Some non tech career

[fossil jewel]

accounting is aight

[obsidian crater]

wtf

[fossil jewel]

gonna depend where tho

also tax season is like 80hr weeks

[obsidian crater]

🤷‍♂️ IBs work 80-90 hours too

I mean you're taking the pharmacist thing too literally

[tardy geode]

this is 1000% so true

[obsidian crater]

I'm saying if I had known I would struggle so much to get a tech job

I'd probably have picked a different major

[tardy geode]

dude spring 2021 was peak hiring

like people didn't have 2 hands enough for holding offers

[timber rock]

tech is like the cushiest field ever

[sonic coral]

I know someone who got laid off from zon back in January who still hasn’t got anything and might have to leave the US

[fossil jewel]

not all i think

you gonna need audit

[obsidian crater]

I mean tech is cushy

But hard to get a job in now

[timber rock]

for sure but it’ll let up soon (ish)

[fossil jewel]

c++ more like c--

bc its worse

[west egret]

Yeah but every fields has their downturns

[sonic coral]

Accounting teams will be dramatically reduced tho

Like you’ll just have one head accountant using chatgpt or whatever

[fossil jewel]

maybe

[tardy geode]

not harder man , 10x harder

😭

[fossil jewel]

my brother does accounting

[lunar hatch]

C++ learning curve is unimaginable

[tardy geode]

if god wants me to progress in this country it will happen

[timber rock]

Intls kinda fucked cause all the companies that froze are the same ones who sponsor

[west egret]

Both my sister and cousin transitioned out of their careers as accountants

[timber rock]

Lots of small and med companies still hiring

[lunar hatch]

I wrote 3 yrs of cpp but I barely regard myself as mastering it

[fallen fox]

any ropers in chat

[obsidian crater]

me

I'm finna rope

[west egret]

Anecdotal dude

[sonic coral]

I feel like rich people accountants will always exist too to find tax loopholes for the ultra wealthy

[fossil jewel]

yeah unless you make chatgpt corrupt too

lol

[west egret]

Also not good to make blanket statements about entire professions

[sonic coral]

They have the money to spend on a personal accountant and prob won’t fuck with ai

[obsidian crater]

See the difference between accounting and CS is

[fossil jewel]

yeah the CS major supremacy lmao

[obsidian crater]

All the accounting grads I know got jobs

[tardy geode]

from next month onwards my loan payment starts

[obsidian crater]

None of the CS grads I know got jobs this year

[sonic coral]

You think some old money billionaire gonna trust a bot to launder his money

[fresh mango]

people w ead starting next month, what y’all doing to get interviews? Asking for a friend, this cold applying only get me waiting for some miracle e-mail.

[fossil jewel]

like with the writers strike im seeing ppl happy for the writers getting kicked off in favor in chatgpt

[west egret]

I mean go into a group of physicians and wonder what they’ll think about your level of knowledge on medicine lol

[fossil jewel]

[tardy geode]

cold emailing ain't helping

[obsidian crater]

tbh if I wasn't intl I'd be fine

I'd go work for lockheed or something

being intl = rope

[sonic coral]

What’s fucked about the writers strike is like they aren’t even opposed to chatgpt they just want to be fairly compensated if an ai modifies an existing human script

[tardy geode]

citizens kinda struggling too but not as hard as us

[fresh mango]

get a security clearance

[sonic coral]

But Hollywood gonna be Hollywood and will be as greedy as possible

[fresh mango]

andruil boutta pick u up

[tardy geode]

rope x10

[fossil jewel]

they will try and them shows gonna be ass

[fresh mango]

Bro needs top secret clearance for janitor position

[fossil jewel]

like we really like destroying our humanity damn

[tardy geode]

OnlyFans is the way

for monies

[fossil jewel]

gonna be AI too

💀

[sonic coral]

Profit line must go up

[tardy geode]

link in my bio

🔗

[obsidian crater]

tbh we need to cull half the earth

[tardy geode]

[west egret]

I mean cashiers are already being replaced with kiosks

[obsidian crater]

LMAO

[west egret]

I actively go to the self checkout because it’s just faster

[tardy geode]

bruh complaining

[sonic coral]

Lmfao OF girls learning about supply and demand in real time

[tardy geode]

that's coz mainstream PStars are hopping on OF

to making monies

like shit. ton

like they leaving Phub and shit for OF

[fresh mango]

2+ yoe for entry level

[tardy geode]

you mean MILF?

[prisma flax]

everything is fucked up

[fossil jewel]

at some point tho, would it be so easy to discern real vs fake

yeah honestly deep fakes

i cant think of a good use for them

[prisma flax]

everything is a fake at this

[outer radish]

anyone here been interviewed for cloud or mobile positions know what questions they usually ask outside of LC

[timber rock]

completely depends on the company as always

all i have experience with for those roles is expedia and they just ask lc for mobile dev

[outer radish]

two separate teams

[fossil jewel]

cloud can ask about concepts like load balancing, scalability, containers(docker, k8s) and stuff like that

[stuck moat]

I’ve seen you here a lot, if you don’t mind me asking. How long do you have until you can’t stay in the US?

[outer radish]

ah true, you have any resources for this kinda stuff

worked with kube, terrafrom and helm before but not sure if i know enough to get grilled on

[foggy basin]

wtf are ppl even applying to rn

like technically 2023 szn is over and 2024 started right

[grizzled bronze]

Databricks. They have enough headcount for all of us.

[swift falcon]

bro how is 2023 over

[foggy basin]

new grad szn no?

[swift falcon]

idk

there's still 7 months left?!

[foggy basin]

like june/july is when seniors graduating in 2024 have applications

is what i mean

[swift falcon]

i'm genuinely asking

[timber rock]

most new grad postings coming out after now will be 2024 positions

[swift falcon]

wait so people apply for jobs a year ahead of time?

[outer radish]

💀

[timber rock]

yes lol

[autumn iris]

i'm applying 6months before

i graduate in december

so gunna start applying in june

[timber rock]

i started in september, but the season starts earlier

[outer radish]

realistically

[swift falcon]

but that is for specific grad positions then

not like "normal company posting job"

[foggy basin]

i mean yes

no

[swift falcon]

alr

i been goin about this a lot differently

[foggy basin]

how so

[swift falcon]

just browsing linkedin ig

[autumn iris]

why not

worst case its a rejection

[swift falcon]

so if you apply to a 2024 posting, does that mean you're not going to start working until 2024?

even if you're ready to start immediatly?

[autumn iris]

idk, if u got laid off already

[timber rock]

it depends

[autumn iris]

shouldn't u already be spam applying

why tf would u wait

[timber rock]

some companies have set start dates for everyone

[autumn iris]

a whole year of doing nothing

[timber rock]

some let uy choose

[foggy basin]

its been 4 months

[autumn iris]

just apply to watevers open

[foggy basin]

oh u meant like i was going to wait

oh i understand

yeah i mean i am applying

[autumn iris]

isnt there a difference between new grad vs entry anyways

[foggy basin]

yes and no

[autumn iris]

pretty sure some companies specifically want new grads

entry is like

1yr+

[swift falcon]

According to the Experis Q2 2023 Tech Talent Outlook, 76% of U.S. employers are having difficulty filling open tech roles.
bro just fucking hiring me ffs

[foggy basin]

entry/junior still want 2+ and i techncially have 5 months on expierence

[outer radish]

most of these mfs want like 5 years of experience

for their dog water wordpress site

that gets 5k views every other month

[swift falcon]

yah

it was rhetorical kinda

[foggy basin]

its bc they can. expierenced ppl r getting laid and will work for the same $$

[swift falcon]

these cocksuckas need to promote and train ppl within and get new talent in

[foggy basin]

all the faang and big tech heads are open to taking pay cuts :/

[brave forge]

That’s supposed to be illegal

They have to pay the same as a US citizen and they can’t just down level them and pay them less

[foggy basin]

i dont think thats how it works

[brave forge]

H1b aren’t meant to bring down US market wages that’s the whole point of the immigration agency

[timber rock]

i mean

even if they do

what is anyone gonna do about it

[autumn iris]

they can just layoff and tell them its cause of budgeting

[timber rock]

u take legal action against ur employer on h1b and you're fired

goodbye country

[autumn iris]

[fallen fox]

indian consulting firms do that

WITCH

[autumn iris]

noone cares though

loyalty is a meme

[foggy basin]

thats just how big tech works lol, if not that outsource and get the same work for peanuts

[autumn iris]

no

its people who don't have h1bs

[timber rock]

ummmm m i am loyal to my ceo and shareholders. i work only to bring value to them and pay for their yacht

[autumn iris]

dont u just make a company just take over ur h1b

[brave forge]

I don’t think many companies prioritize h1b or we would see more hiring them

[autumn iris]

wats even the difference other than green card applying

?

[swift falcon]

how does one become h1b

what is this mythical thing?

[autumn iris]

[fallen fox]

most h1bs go to WITCH anyway

:rope:

[swift falcon]

i'm not going to move until this says "hired"

[timber rock]

witch is awesome

[swift falcon]

it's a scam bro

[timber rock]

cognizant called me up after i rejected them to interrogate me as to why im not joining

[brave forge]

what if it says rejected

[swift falcon]

idk but i'm gonna die probably

[brave forge]

who is it for

[swift falcon]

local company

[brave forge]

ah local gl

[swift falcon]

I applied for same position last january

got rejected

[autumn iris]

no internship this summer, just grinding interview prep

i feel like prepping now for a good fulltime is better than a shtty internship

unless im

[timber rock]

become god at leetcode but never make it past resume screen cause no itnernship

[autumn iris]

i have 1 internship from last summer

and like

2yrs worth of research xp

[timber rock]

ok nvm

[autumn iris]

i'm a grad student

[brave forge]

i need fall internship

i need to become a god at AWS and get certified within the next 3 days and apply to all those fall cloud internship postings

[autumn iris]

plan is grind the sht out of leetcode, know everything about ML theory, stats/math

[brave forge]

how much leetcode do you bench press?

[autumn iris]

and pray i get interviews

[autumn iris]

not enough

my goal is to be able to solve mediums

[fresh mango]

same 😭

I used to think

[autumn iris]

i was told they generally ask me easies/mediums

[brave forge]

im doing 4 or 5 per day now, moving through leetcode 150

[fresh mango]

this research stuff counts to something

[autumn iris]

i'm doing neetcode 150 videos

[brave forge]

they used to, but 2024 is crazy so now they ask multiple hards in < 90 mins

[timber rock]

i gotta actually get good at lc at some point

[autumn iris]

im not swe

[brave forge]

[autumn iris]

doing data scientist roles

[brave forge]

oh ya you said that

[autumn iris]

so im currently watching every neetcode 150, write down lots of notes and understand problems

then grind out easies/mediums after doing 150 a few times

yeah

[brave forge]

solid, make sure you do it in order and solve the sets

and understand each of the leetcode sub topics

[autumn iris]

it does

idk i feel like

i fked up for internship applying

i applied really late

[fresh mango]

Same though

[brave forge]

ya that will do it

[fresh mango]

I realized I should've applied like June

[autumn iris]

i applied to 500 companies, had 5 finals, and like 10 other calls

[fresh mango]

but I started December

[autumn iris]

i started late feb

[fresh mango]

Had no luck even then 💀

[brave forge]

ok that's just u did u fail the leetcode assessments?

[autumn iris]

i wasnt asked

any leetcode

[brave forge]

i started december also, got a job in like 1 week after applying LOL

[autumn iris]

im just doing it cause they ask that sometimes for full time roles

[fresh mango]

Ft?

[brave forge]

no intern

[autumn iris]

they didnt ask me any coding

literally just theory

[brave forge]

[autumn iris]

or technical questions

[fresh mango]

That's insane imo, takes a week for them to draft my rejection email

[autumn iris]

i mean i just fked up by applying late

[brave forge]

ya they did a phone interview and then a 1 hr interview with director of SWE's and team lead and then they gave me offer 2 days later

[autumn iris]

im just gunna grind really hard this summer

in exchange for no internship

[brave forge]

then i just accepted and gave up for summer and went back to grinding

[autumn iris]

i had one more company reach out to me on friday

[fresh mango]

This grinding lc shit seems to take a toll

[autumn iris]

or wat happened was i applied

1 day later, recruiter emailed me

[brave forge]

it does you need to switch topics

[autumn iris]

and she told me to apply on their main website, so i might hear back this week

[brave forge]

i do 1 or 2 leetcode, then grind my AWS certification, then work on my project

so i dont get burned out

[fresh mango]

every question I struggle on and click on solutions, my self respect takes a hit 😭😂😂😂

[brave forge]

also ya that sucks but u have to learn and get better

[fresh mango]

Send motivation to start on project

[brave forge]

just try to review after you solve a set of problems

[fresh mango]

Yeah lol, that's what I try to do

[brave forge]

like if u solve lc 150 and do the 25 arrays problems, when u finish that go back and review all of them

[autumn iris]

i dont think leetcode is that bad

[brave forge]

same

it's fun

sort of

in a fcked up way

[autumn iris]

idk, i'd also rather start doing it now

then wait for my last semester

[fresh mango]

Masochism

[brave forge]

im grinding so hard

i need to land new-grad job in june and a fall internship

[timber rock]

i don’t like it but i think it’s nice to have a concrete thing that you study to get a job

[autumn iris]

if i got replies to internship positions that late, surely i'll get full time interviews right

[fresh mango]

What sorta projects you working on though?

[autumn iris]

none

other than research

[brave forge]

i am building a networking app that allows you to live video call and chat and draw on a whiteboard, so you can tutor on it. I wanted to add a code editor that you can both use but idk it's hard

[fresh mango]

Like a full stack thing, or some wild langchain read your mind using GPT4

[brave forge]

im using WebRTC and websockets and react and node.js for that

im also doing a C++ project in OpenGL to build a model solar system

[autumn iris]

i don't think projects will help me

[brave forge]

it's pretty easy tbh im just working on getting some more OpenGL knowledge and then i can continue building it

[autumn iris]

other than just looking up how to code specific models

but thats not something i;'d put for my resume

[brave forge]

i need to build a cloud app though rly bad for these damn cloud internships for fall

[fresh mango]

I think it's too late for me to grind projects before my ead appears

slacked off in clg for too long

[brave forge]

whats an ead

[autumn iris]

i'm just gunna pray

i get interviews though

[fresh mango]

flashy paper allow work for $$ else deport

Like a passport but more important

[autumn iris]

cause if i prep now, then i can increase my chances of passing them

already a month in

[brave forge]

Idk much about data

[fossil jewel]

nice cheat sheet i used to cram for practioner exam

[brave forge]

Mongodb and Postgres are cool tho

[fossil jewel]

this is obviously more directed towards AWS, but the other providers have similar concepts

[autumn iris]

[outer radish]

hmm you think its worth going through a distributed systems type lecture then tying that in with this as well?

[fossil jewel]

it can help, i dont think you need to go very deep, but distributed systems is such a big part of cloud imo

hopefully it works out for you

also know some stuff about serverless architecture vs monolith @outer radish

[outer radish]

gotcha, and thanks! preciate the resources and the direction to check out

[fossil jewel]

ofc

gotta help out the peeps

[spice mountain]

hey yall, I graduated recently and I was wondering where yall have been applying to get interviews... I mostly apply through linkedin but I havent gotten any traction

are there any other sites you would recommend ?

[ivory stratus]

I am back

[dusty basin]

please leave again

[urban gulch]

I heard this is happening in Canada now

[ivory stratus]

But

[swift falcon]

this is why we can’t have nice things

[autumn iris]

isn't the tech stuff on tiktok dead nowadays

if anything arent people just making posts on layoffs

[tardy geode]

tiktok is cringe

chewy sent me the same rejection mail 5 times

[outer radish]

tik tokers that kept posting about doing no work and getting paid 6 figs

contributed to this poo market

ya'll heard it here

[tardy geode]

ban tiktok forever

[outer radish]

naw dw i'll work for em next year and fix it

[tardy geode]

Day in Teh LiFe oF a SofTwaRe EngIneeR in sF

6 hours of lunch and breakfast

2 hours of snacks

0 hours of work

[fallen fox]

day 2: laid off

[jovial latch]

yea fuck those dipshits that try to convey tech life n stuff through tiktok god damn

cause we all needed more fucking people trying to enter this market

[ivory stratus]

Bro at this point i just want a job

[jovial latch]

i just want a job so i can escape the entry level oversaturation, but well thats never gonna happen

[ivory stratus]

Im in an internship until Aug 1 then idk

[brave forge]

wtf even mr beast is unemployed and searching for 2024 jobs we are all screwed

[ivory stratus]

It's weird cause we're hired through University of Hawaii but working at HA, it's supposed to be a talent pipeline. The VP of IT said that our program is part of the new hires this hear i just dont know for sure if we'll have a job after

[brave forge]

hawaii

[ivory stratus]

So im just gonna start applying to new stuff

[tardy geode]

bro

[viscid jacinth]

It's so over

[ivory stratus]

Im just thankful i got experience

Only thing i had on my resume was 2nd place in a hackathon

[jovial latch]

experience is no guarantee of anything, heh, cause ive been fucked

its all just rng bs

[ivory stratus]

Unfortunately same with being a veteran

Only reason i got microsoft and amazon finals was cause of veteran but every other company didnt care lol

Yeah but not a lot of em for tech

Most is like. Corporate stuff or salesforce

Yeah i got to final for both. But then they canceled interviews for all new grads lmao

It's for non traditional though and i have a degree

[jovial latch]

yea i doubt veteran pipelines survived cancellations and layoff bs lol

[outer radish]

tbh anytime i see anymore work for google if you do this certification course that takes one weekend

imma flip

im all in support of getting people a better opportunity for their future, but to sell them the lie that a certification alone will guarantee you a job is like selling linkedin snake oil

that shit cheeses the life out of me

[jovial latch]

just typical silicon valley tech culture bs tbh

this industry is layered with crap

im so tired

[brave forge]

ya the ppl that think you can just jump into SWE with no degree and building a few full stack projects are always interesting

Sure it worked sometimes for some people, who got in and grew experience. But for most, they either dont grind hard enough to get to that point or the market is so bad no one would be interested in them

[jovial latch]

full stack = i wrote hello world in html

i mean its never ever actually full stack shit

[brave forge]

Ya full stack today would be building a react app with data mangment like hooks or redux, database in postgresql or mongodb, backend in nodejs that actually does something useful, docker container and deployed on cloud like aws

[jovial latch]

hell even throw in some authentication with like firebase and caching with redis too for the hell of it

but yea thats about what full stack would be

microservices

go brrr

[dusky tapir]

Bro is making up words. Wth is fire base

[obsidian crater]

[brave forge]

i need aws cert in 3 days

[jovial latch]

an authentication service google provides for authentication functionality

[brave forge]

im grinding so hard for it rn

[obsidian crater]

AWS slaves

[brave forge]

also @lunar sonnet what do u think about these jobs:
https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3607935258/?alternateChannel=search&refId=Zw4aCRI%2Fbr2s11bGxp9eJQ%3D%3D&trackingId=m0sZDBSLN76VtnEpjDpFMA%3D%3D

what skills with cloud do u think i should target? I was planning on going through building a few projects with AWS using Lamba and Gateway and dynamoDB by following this udemy guide
https://www.udemy.com/course/aws-lambda-serverless-architecture/
and go over kubernetes with this
https://www.udemy.com/course/learn-kubernetes/learn/lecture/9703196#overview
and then just finish up my AWS cloud cert im already like half way through the amazon free course for it

[jovial latch]

yea well microsoft was too fuckin late lol

[brave forge]

arent u like really desperate for a job u should be over here grinding aws also

[obsidian crater]

yes

I will

I got finals this week mane

[brave forge]

okay

i dont have finals at my uni thank god i dont give a crap about uni anymore, i just submit my work first day of the new week and ignore it till the next weeks assignment come out

idk is the aws cloud practitioner cert even that useful? there's a bunch of higher level ones then that you need to get also

im getting it rn just to pass interviews. the knowledge is very useful for that company trivia

[obsidian crater]

lmao really

[brave forge]

https://www.interviewkickstart.com/interview-questions/cloud-engineer-interview-questions
https://intellipaat.com/blog/interview-question/cloud-computing-interview-questions/?US
i was reading these questions and it's really similar to the cloud practioner

[brave forge]

Ya i started yesterday and already 50% done with course

im trying to knock it out in 2 more days and take exam and then apply for intern cloud jobs

there's so many fall intern cloud jobs coming out

[outer radish]

yeah this shit was always so funny to me.

[brave forge]

nobody applying cause they dont like cloud

[outer radish]

they dont realize that a lot of those successful bootcampers had like a mf math degree or physics degree or some shit

and had that grind in them

[obsidian crater]

what course ya doing?

[outer radish]

or previous technical knowledge

[brave forge]

The free amazon one it's https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/134/play/62437/aws-cloud-practitioner-essentials;lp=82

[obsidian crater]

if I can finish it in a weekend

xd

[brave forge]

sick ill try

everyone is always shitting on aws cert lol

that's good though it keeps the jobs for the ppl that actually grind it

ok these are really easy

https://www.udemy.com/course/practice-exams-aws-certified-cloud-practitioner

im doing it from this guys link with 6 exams

[fossil jewel]

if you have dev exp (just basics from school even) this should be easy enough to pass

i crammed this in 1-2 days and passed the cloud exam (same one you're practicing)

[brave forge]

oh thank you ill check it out

[fossil jewel]

i just did it bc i had to fill the quota in my team

still a nice to have since i do use cloud

[obsidian crater]

[autumn iris]

went back and read the job description

that job the recruiter got back to me on friday

$15/hr for inperson intern

in an expensive af area

[brave forge]

that's data for u

they expect you to eat the data for food

and sleep in the server room while the data gets processed

[normal palm]

well boys, the search resumes

at the worst fuckin time ever

[shut void]

I graduate in December. Is it too early to start applying now?

[brave forge]

yes

apply next month

[shut void]

Okay sounds good. How would you advise I go about it? What would be the most fruitful?

[brave forge]

#2023_grads message
idk read this

[shut void]

What are you doing to get ready for this? Just leetcode stuff?

[brave forge]

leetcode, aws certs, projects, summer internship, maybe fall internship if i land it, learn a bunch of tech stacks for multiple catered resumes to certain areas so i can mass apply to places for any job

[brave forge]

oh that in particular. i need to do a lot of leetcode they ask DP mediums there apparently

because 2024 is

and mayb they will hire a lot of new-grads like last year

but if they dont hire a ton of new grads they are going to be #1 shit company and i will never support again

[pastel bane]

Would you think frontend engineers are harder to find a job?

[shut void]

I don’t really have any company in particular I’m looking for. I just want to see what opportunities there are. Any certs you guys think I should go for in general?

[brave forge]

aws

azure also

that's about the extent of certifications

[pastel bane]

is aws hard?

[autumn iris]

leetcode, theory, leetcode, some more leetcode, a lil bit of theory added into it, and finally some more leetcode

[brave forge]

leetcodes big but not everything. you can't leetcode if u dont get interviews

[autumn iris]

[autumn iris]

but wat if u do get interviews

[brave forge]

you need like a lot of interviews so u can fail a ton and still get by in a few and also improve rapidly with your interviewing skills

[autumn iris]

thats why we start 8months earlier

[shut void]

What are you doing to get a lot of interviews?

[autumn iris]

i graduate in december

apply more?

[brave forge]

ya i mean i plan to apply for every new grad and entry level and jr position in the usa

i need to get a bot that aggregates all job postings to my email every 6 hours somehow

[autumn iris]

also idk, surely school name will carry me right

[brave forge]

i have a 3.75 gpa maybe 3.8 by the time i graduate in december

[autumn iris]

my gpa also 3.75

[brave forge]

like i said man we are the same ppl

[frank wedge]

My gpa was a 3.8

[autumn iris]

i dont need citizenship too

[frank wedge]

• 1

[autumn iris]

i'm more worried about passing interviews

and not being sht

[brave forge]

just interview so much u stop caring

[autumn iris]

just employ me i need gacha money

[brave forge]

i never did research, just 2 internships. 1st one was 9 months, 2nd is 3 months, maybe 3rd if i land fall

[shut void]

I have also done two internships. Both at same company. Nothing super impressive

[autumn iris]

i'm just grinding 12hrs/day this summer for preppin

[brave forge]

aws certs, a few projects, a b.s in computer science. i guess that's all ill have going into new-grad

[autumn iris]

i dont think a shtty internship was worth it

if it's in person, then i was defo not going to prep

wake up at 7, go to library

and do anything

[brave forge]

i sit in my room all day

[autumn iris]

i'm about to pick up japanese food

then break and watch more neetcode videos back home

[tardy geode]

[brave forge]

same

u should start on lc 150 with me

i just finished another module on aws so i think im going to take a break on it

go back to lc

got to finish up arrays im so close. actually not good im still on arrays, but they put in like 25 problems on it it's a ton

[jovial latch]

theres another reason to get a job

so i dont have to touch anymore god damn stupid ass leetcode crap

[west egret]

until you search for another job

[brave forge]

ya im just going to keep leetcoding when i get a new-grad job

probably whatever new-grad job i get is not going to pay enough to be worth staying for. Just get experience and job hop as soon as i can get somewhere better

[jovial latch]

what do they ask leetcode past the entry level bs

[timber rock]

im going for big boy trading firms after like a year

gonna get good at leetcode (maybe)

[jovial latch]

honestly, true
i suppose ill never escape leetcode

[timber rock]

same difficulty but more rounds from what I’ve seen

for seniors and mid

compared to ng at least

[jovial latch]

ah well im sure ill have plenty of time to do leetcode if i get this fully on-site job, god the anxiety is killing me

[brave forge]

why would u want full on site

are u a masochinist?

[jovial latch]

i dont

[brave forge]

who does full onsite in 2023 and not even hybrid that would an instant red flag

[timber rock]

get offer at mediocre firm -> get put on garden leave -> spend those free months sweating lc and get something better that’s my 2025 plan 😈

[brave forge]

ya exactly

i just need time to get good at lc

if u grind for 1 year and market recovers and you have 1 yoe it'll be a lot easier to get into big-tech

[jovial latch]

yea you'd think it would be a red flag but i havent seen any, interview process has been super good and they went through my colleges career center to hire

also like

do i have a choice

[brave forge]

idk do u

[jovial latch]

no LMAO

[west egret]

Yeah job > unemployment

Full in office isn’t necessarily a red flag

More like a sign that the company is traditional

Red flag is when they want you to purchase office supplies and they say they’ll transfer you the money

[jovial latch]

classic

[west egret]

Full in office is just an inconvenience depending your view on remote vs office

[jovial latch]

always an inconveninance

i interned fully in office before covid, efficiency was crap

[west egret]

I mean I prefer in office for NG tbh

I liked interning in office

[jovial latch]

i prefered being able to sleep

[west egret]

Granted my team invited me to drink with them on the first day

And I’d occasionally take slightly long breaks in a game / pool room

[jovial latch]

that just sounds like working from home but with extra steps

[west egret]

Ehh after online classes

Having human interaction was nice

[hoary fern]

are u saying onsite for the interview process

[jovial latch]

nah interviews were remote

but like the job is fully in person they told me as much

[hoary fern]

oh this is fine imo

[jovial latch]

this other company im speaking with wanted me to come on-site for an interview and their position is fully on-site though

ll

lol

thank fuck im based in the nyc area

[hoary fern]

id think its wack if they expect you to come in person for interviews

for like 5 interview rounds

that would be fucked

[jovial latch]

thank god for public transit

also completely unrelated note, fuck the govt

[brave forge]

idk as a new grad im broke i dont want to spend my money trying to commute

[foggy basin]

ooh what company in nyc

[brave forge]

and have to get an apartment nearby in an expensive area

i just want a hybrid job i can save up money at

[autumn iris]

just employ me

80k/yr pls

[west egret]

Yeah the one thing I’m in favor of being full remote is interviews for sure

[brave forge]

80k is poverty 🤮

100k+ on this server only

[hoary fern]

they should pay u enough to be able to commute, lot of time dont they reimburse too

[jovial latch]

the govt naturally

[foggy basin]

oh no lol

[autumn iris]

i'd be living so well with 100k in south

[brave forge]

i dont even have a car or reliable transport so id need a BIG sign on bonus to afford it. Or maybe just make a 1-2k downpayment on a used car and pay it off monthly

[hoary fern]

my friends who are older said they used to actully fly students out for interviews during midterms

sounds like hell

[west egret]

Just saves everyone time. Especially when interviews are are basically both parties playing a game of pretending to be this perfect entity for the position.

[foggy basin]

yeah its ass but like thats how the typical job market, get a job - typically in a city. then move there

[brave forge]

flying out would be so fun for me

it would be a break from regular grinding

get to go have fun and interview

then come back and grind

only good if u are unemployed and out of uni

[hoary fern]

its not a break its full stress

[west egret]

Yeah even if it’s compensated and paid for… it’s just such a time sink

[brave forge]

like i am basically, just doing my last classes online

[sonic coral]

Which agency lmfao

[foggy basin]

it was exciting, ppl looked forward to it

[hoary fern]

ofc the elon companies

[brave forge]

elon just said he wants to vet every hire they do

[west egret]

80k > unemployed

[foggy basin]

hiring and paying executives < not letting them do their job

[hoary fern]

depends for what, i got enough savings maybe i want to be unemployed

[brave forge]

true but it just feels like my philosophy is grind hard and get the best offer i can. If i have to grind hard and get a low offer it's like...why now im just back to grinding to get a better job while i hold down a temp job to afford stuff

[west egret]

I mean it’s kind of under the assumption that you need that income to survive lol

[hoary fern]

fair lol

[brave forge]

Ya i have no savings i need a job so bad

i can barely make it over fall i even need to land a fall internship to just make more income and the experience is just a side benefit

[foggy basin]

move back home after college >>

[brave forge]

cant though unfortunately, my parents dont live in the USA

[west egret]

But yeah if you have the savings, life is too short to spend it at a job that you hate

[hoary fern]

yeah this is what id do for 80k job

if im being paid 80k to move to nyc/sf/sea i feel like id want to quit too quickly to warrent it worth moving

[autumn iris]

i meant

80k in south

[pine topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-love-creeper-psycho-sweet-gif-14432194

[brave forge]

80k in mid west is solid

[timber rock]

Only 100k?

[foggy basin]

i knowww

[timber rock]

Pffff

[west egret]

You’re comfortable with 80k in Midwest

[hoary fern]

ok but what if u cant drive

[autumn iris]

80k-100k in florida thats not miami/tampa/orlando

[brave forge]

but also outcome like if u land 80k that's probably a shitty mid-tier company no name place

[autumn iris]

is so good

[timber rock]

can’t live on less than 300k tbh

[west egret]

Might not be ideal location depending on your interests but you’ll have a comfortable housing and food

[foggy basin]

assuming ur 21+ , u can get the license in 3.5 months

and bumblefuck driving is easier

[autumn iris]

but ur still entry

just stay there for a few yrs then get a comfy remote position

at a big company

[jovial latch]

fuck this crap

[brave forge]

that's not entirely the point tho, usually CS jobs scale in pay. If u get a low pay company it's probably bad place and u wont get much resume prestige. high pay companies are way better in benefits and prestige and tech you work on.

[hoary fern]

i mean like cant drive at all though

[foggy basin]

oh my bad

[brave forge]

if u get a job that does like ASP .NET that's a decade old and pays you 80k, it's not really an enviable job

sure u make 80k

but it's shit and u get no experience that's useful

[west egret]

Driving is ass anyways

Wish good public transport was more ubiquitous in the US

I think ppl who are unemployed don’t give af about prestige

They just want to afford rent and be able to eat

[timber rock]

why does this server hate .net lol

[obsidian crater]

Cause it's boomer

[timber rock]

that’s like the 3rd time in the last week or so that I’ve seen ppl shit on .net

[obsidian crater]

Not legacy

[foggy basin]

Software Engineer (Entry Level ) , FULL-TIME, Salary $100K - $130K a year & minimum 2 years work experience.
WHY CALL IT ENTRY LEVEL

[obsidian crater]

Govt uses it

Ya

[brave forge]

[obsidian crater]

Cobol

[foggy basin]

wdym

[west egret]

Isn’t C# supposed to be more well liked than Java at least?

[timber rock]

hm yeah I’ve never ever thought of .net as legacy lol

c# is straight up Java but better

[obsidian crater]

It is

[foggy basin]

hmm ok

[hoary fern]

idk ive seen this too and in the desc they ask for masters degree

[obsidian crater]

Entry level is 3 years nowadays

[west egret]

Fair

[hoary fern]

when will uni cs classes count as "experience"

i got 3+ of that

[obsidian crater]

Haha

[timber rock]

does high school count 🥺

[west egret]

I think we’d need to have professors that could actually teach first

[timber rock]

i got 8 years in that case

[hoary fern]

did u go to those cs high schools

[timber rock]

No

[west egret]

I literally could have learned everything from uni through google searches

[timber rock]

We didn’t even have a cs teacher we had to teach ourselves the curriculum lol

[hoary fern]

dare u to drop out and buy one of those fake diplomas online for 200$

[obsidian crater]

Azure is huge with feds

[west egret]

Bro Geeks4Geeks articles explained DSA more than my prof

[timber rock]

.net is one of the most in demand techs in the uk

[obsidian crater]

Idk why Feds like azure so much

[west egret]

I already finished a legit degree though

[timber rock]

like half of the jobs on linkedin are c# lol

[hoary fern]

oh awesome congrats

[obsidian crater]

UK is small init

[west egret]

No idea when I’ll receive the paper degree 😂

[foggy basin]

side question, do u think like typically do LC hard. i spend way too long trying to figure them out and it ends up frustrating me out of the grind

[jovial latch]

i guarantee you the majority of mid level engineers cant do lc hards

[hoary fern]

i dont cuz im finding it hard to convince myself tht lc is worth it

[timber rock]

we smol

[foggy basin]

im working on the reverse k nodes in linked list and i fucking hate it

[west egret]

LC style interviews are just putting on a performance

[jovial latch]

lc performance is not indicative of how you would do at an actual job

it simply tells you how good you are at doing lc problems

[hoary fern]

when do the put up the 2024 grad channel up

[foggy basin]

daily for what? its in my grok list

[jovial latch]

because companies need some arbitary measure to deal with entry level oversaturation

[west egret]

Daily problem on LC site

[west egret]

Even behavioral are arbitrary

Because everyone has these slightly embellished stories for situations they may or may not have encountered

[foggy basin]

https://leetcode.com/problems/reverse-nodes-in-k-group/description/

this one made me want to off meself

[timber rock]

speak for yourself. first day on the job i had to derive the order of letters from an alien dictionary

[jovial latch]

the interviews i usually like are the ones they ask technical concepts and ask about the shit you have on your resume

[autumn iris]

does swe really need to do lc hards

[west egret]

I learned that before prog 1

[jovial latch]

entry level oversaturation go brrrrr

[autumn iris]

[foggy basin]

i didnt interview for a while bc i had a job got laid off. yada yada yada. my technical question was what is oop and i couldnt articulate it

[timber rock]

not really but they show up sometimes

[jovial latch]

funny how that works right lol
just know what the 4 pillars are and you good

[west egret]

My manager once asked me to find the number of ships in rectangle

[hoary fern]

quick question but have any of u guys did datadog process for ng

[foggy basin]

datadog has new grad?

[hoary fern]

in the past

[foggy basin]

yeah ik thats why it was so pathetic

[jovial latch]

must suck having to dip your toes back into entry level question bs

after you know, having actualy done shit

[hoary fern]

oh shit did u have to move for that job

[jovial latch]

yikes

what you think i just retained the 4 pillars of oop in my head lmao

only reason i do is because of interviews

[timber rock]

Oop the type of thing I learned once in 1st year then never had to touch for the rest of the degree then relearn the past few months lol

[obsidian crater]

OOP is common interview topic lol

I got asked about waterfall and agile too once

[jovial latch]

difference between writing literal oop code and then having to explicitly define the 4 pillars

but eh

oop is an easy topic so whatever

[timber rock]

and i oop

[obsidian crater]

I only write functional programming in haskell

OOP is a mistake

[timber rock]

haskell was a mistake

[jovial latch]

The only thing that I got going is I am getting responses from my applications

So my resume works

[west egret]

Higher level languages were a mistake. Everything should be in Assembly.

[brave forge]

https://leetcode.com/problems/longest-common-prefix/description/?envType=study-plan-v2&id=top-interview-150

it should be ez but

[hoary fern]

how many apps / response ratio

[rapid bison]

When did NG jobs peak for 2023?

[brave forge]

im sort of stuck i watched neetcode

[jovial latch]

I don't keep track

[brave forge]

probably 2022

before layoffs

[rapid bison]

Which month I mean

[brave forge]

after 2023 hit and layoffs came in it became bad

[rapid bison]

Just to get an idea for 2024

[hoary fern]

just do this

[jovial latch]

Christ

[brave forge]

2024 market in one image

[brave forge]

@brave forge just zip them up!
def longestCommonPrefix(self, strs: List[str]) -> str:
pre=''
for i in zip(*strs):
if len(set(i))==1:
pre+=i[0]
else:
return pre
return pre

[final ore]

nope! 😦 companies stopped givng oa's because of overhyped chatgpt which can't even solve a leetcode easy....

[hoary fern]

Try Fargo

if you like Barry @jovial latch

[jovial latch]

ive seen the first 3 seasons

[fresh mango]

Fargo season 1 is too good

[jovial latch]

i agree with most of this except for GOT and the mandalorian

[fresh mango]

modern fam

[jovial latch]

nah ive read the books

so i have strong opinions

[fresh mango]

opinion on rings of power? 👀

[jovial latch]

dunno

[jovial latch]

to keep it brief though, mainstream opinion on GOT is that season 8 bad
anyone whos read the books will tell you shit started to deviate and deteroriate at the end of season 4

this is when they started to ignore the 4th and 5th book and basically just do their own dumb shit because grrm is fucking complicated

no lol, things become really inconsistent and dont make any sense
