true

[autumn jolt]

@tardy geode wassup. Long time no see

[worthy aspen]

Yoo hows it going for you

[swift falcon]

bro what do you actually do as a fullstack dev

like java + react/angular

like do you make components and shit or what?

is it actual coding or just like modifying and debugging existing shit?

[ornate cliff]

read/write from DB on backend, show it on a webpage on frontend

[swift falcon]

yeah ig what does a typical agile task look like

like “make a new page to show drilled down order statistics” ?

[grizzled bronze]

Center a div

[swift falcon]

is that fr

[rain patio]

fuck i drunkenly deleted my last discord account

dont even ask

[swift falcon]

is it a lot of trial and error with making things look correct?

[ornate cliff]

Create a banner on top of the account settings page that warns users about an invalid routing number, clicking it will take them to a modal that let's them change it

that's something I made lol

frontend is a nightmare

[swift falcon]

how long did it take you to implement that?

[ornate cliff]

it was my first time ever doing frontend

so a week
kek

[swift falcon]

and now how long would it take you?

a day?

[ornate cliff]

a month

cuz I haven't touched front end since

[swift falcon]

lol

very well

a week seems not bad tbh

so you would have been working in an existing codebase for that right? and you added some sort of functionality?

[ornate cliff]

yeah the app existed

the page existed

just added something to the page

and unit tested it

[swift falcon]

alr cool

sounds like not a huge stretch beyond what I currently do

[ornate cliff]

fuck frontend

I'm done with it

[swift falcon]

what are you doing now?

[fossil jewel]

depends on how quick you are with FE

[ornate cliff]

sitting on my ass spraying and praying applciations

[fossil jewel]

i would say, people waste a lot of time on errors because they dont read the error message

[swift falcon]

are you expected style shit or do you work with UX/UI ppl?

[ornate cliff]

most of the styling was in place where I worked

[fossil jewel]

mix of both + project managers

mainly you just see what figma document they present and you can develop feature by feature

[obsidian crater]

It's funny how we have to do DP for interview

But the job is usually not as annoying

[swift falcon]

oh interesting I didn’t know that

I guess that makes sense

so they lay out how things look and you actually have to implement it

[fossil jewel]

blame google

and microsoft

microsoft first

they started with the brain teasers

fr

and thats an ez q

why i gotta care about house robber x

[swift falcon]

me who hasn’t touch ds and algos in 3 years

[fossil jewel]

i think i got a DP in an assessment

2 years ago

[swift falcon]

what is DP

[fossil jewel]

decode ways

[fossil jewel]

dynamic programming

[swift falcon]

oh god

no

[fossil jewel]

think kinda like Decision Trees

if i take this move

whats the next one gonna be

for ex

[obsidian crater]

DP sucks ass, there are so many problem types

[fossil jewel]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapsack_problem

[obsidian crater]

DP is more than just knapsack

[fossil jewel]

i cant do either, even tho i understand the concept, i just cant visualize

[swift falcon]

I feel like that stuff is not sth you just should have to pull out of your back pocket

[fossil jewel]

for sure, but thats the first one you kinda learn about

at least my algo class started with it for DP

[fossil jewel]

thats why everyone leetcodes

[swift falcon]

yeah

[fossil jewel]

i would say

those are usually asked by places competitive enough

local companies asking that have no place for you to waste their time on

[grizzled bronze]

I blame @pulsar mural

[fossil jewel]

always

[swift falcon]

bro at this point im not even trying to change the world

i just want to code

and chillax

and get paid

[brave forge]

after landing one intern idk if i can go back to interviewing lol

i hope they just RO me

[swift falcon]

I pray for you

[brave forge]

ty

[grizzled bronze]

COBOL will make you really competitive in the current market

[fossil jewel]

lol what i did

[swift falcon]

hell naw

[fossil jewel]

nah

binary

[swift falcon]

I aint trying to program mainframe shi

[fossil jewel]

thats how you get SPEED

can even make it faster by tweaking voltages manually on transistors

[swift falcon]

I program with rocks in the desert

[fossil jewel]

had to take 3 assembly courses

by the 3rd class it wasnt the worst

but im willing to do C++ over that

[swift falcon]

that’s some embedded shi right there

[fossil jewel]

yep

3rd class was on embedded with assembly

[swift falcon]

did u use microcontrollers?

[fossil jewel]

first couple of class yes

rest was hybrid bc covid was still around

also bc those labs needed us to measure the voltages

other part was just done using software

ya comp eng

half elec half cs

[swift falcon]

ive seen some reddit threads that say if you want to learn embedded you gotta go beyond rpi and arduino and get some other micro thing and program it with assembly

[fossil jewel]

yeah arduino can be c++

rpi can be w.e

[rotund breach]

stm32

[fossil jewel]

rpi is just gonna be doing the logic/brain stuff bc its a legit computer, but will be slow on hardware operations bc it has to go through OS layer

[rotund breach]

its resilient, doesnt short when my tears land on the capacitors

[swift falcon]

yeah sth like that

I got a company in my town that does embedded shit for heavy equipment or sth like that

would love to work for them

might try and contact them and see what kind of skills they need and try to see if I can pick them up

[fossil jewel]

yeah try to read on Operating Systems then

[teal canopy]

is the market getting better now? it was awful earlier this year

[brave forge]

market shit

[obsidian crater]

we need to start our own startup

[rain patio]

hinge for meeting friends but with built in chat gpt generated texts

ima genius

[teal canopy]

🧢

[rain patio]

how many of those jobs are just internally created jobs in order to promote someone to senior or mid level developer?

[swift falcon]

all of them

[obsidian crater]

174000 jobs, 340K layoffs

rip us

[split igloo]

I gotta say cold applications not really working, but networking in-person def helps

Man like I just went out to touch some grass, but ended up having more interviews in last few days

by networking and meeting folks in person

[teal canopy]

fr but does that also apply to internationals?

feel like no one's hiring them anymore

[cloud zinc]

the fuck are they smoking at forbes?

[delicate sigil]

How are you guys searching out for opening positions in SDE?

Any portal?

[fossil jewel]

y'all trust forbes?

[woven berry]

I feel like the pull these numbers out of their ass

[pine topaz]

stop it with the patricks

stop it

@rain patio ur army needs to STOP

[rain patio]

i have no army

we’re all free spirits

[fossil jewel]

we love patrick

[cyan plank]

[teal canopy]

[bold pier]

New week I'm weak

[split igloo]

I myself is an international

on top of the cold applying, try to networking

[teal canopy]

I don't really know what events are good for networking

Recommendations?

[split igloo]

for me I got to meet some people from my last internship and those people somehow introduce me to their friends as well as entrepreneurs

I just went out and tried to socialize

[brave forge]

So people that are doing an internship this summer and graduating in dec 2023/june 24 what's your plan rn? any of you job searching for new-grad next month or just focusing on the intern?

[ornate cliff]

Day 1 ask manager if there will be a return offer... if not ignore job and grind LC

[brave forge]

my company is constantly saying they return offered all of last years interns, and I am friends with one of last year intern that is joining full time on Monday and he had a great experience with them, they even allowed to stay on as part-time intern for a year until he graduated. We are doing a new intern meet last year intern on friday. So there's a good chance they bring me back but it's only the first week of intern so far, so i still have a lot of work to do to prove to them im good.

still i think i should get back on the LC grind and get ready to interview next month lol. should be easier once we switch to WFH instead of in-office training we have been doing

[swift falcon]

that seems like a good sign

[ornate cliff]

If you're happy with the place focus on return offer... If you can focus on that AND LC then not a bad idea

[rain patio]

I made the mistake of believing my boss when he told me I was guaranteed to get a return offer lol. Assume you won't get a return offer and prepare for your next job. If you do get a return offer, that's great! If not, at least you'll be ready, unlike me lol

[grizzled bronze]

The harder you imagine a return offer, the likelier you'll get one

[high cradle]

I hate when they do that.. re affirming after every 1:1 and then nothing

[brave forge]

tbh im way too pessimestic to believe anything good might happen. Unless I get a written offer, I'm mostly going with no way I'd get RO and I should just job search. But still put in good work, just so I can add it to my resume and make it stronger.

[swift falcon]

this the only way tbh

[bold pier]

After graduating in a market like this, hardly any of us will ever be trusting of anything companies say going forward

And for good reasons, no HR or Manager has any say on what C-level assholes do to keep their bonuses

[sleek owl]

I just sent my meta application. When is the recruiter gonna send me my 200k offer?

[untold fjord]

Hi all!!
My goal is to work at big companies in Washington State but just realized that jobs 2023 new grad positions are mostly closed (little e panicked when I realized that lol).

I’m thinking of getting the co-op/intern position at a close by defense contract (got a friend intern who ed there and It’s pretty chilled or maybe working at someplace that is not demanding) and grinding Leetcode for 2024 new grad jobs. And when do big companies open their 2024 jobs for applications? What do you guys think about my current plan? (I am really fortunate to support myself when does not really stress to work during 2023, but my parents would like me to just get a job for fall 2023)

Any advice is much appreciated!!
(Just copied this off Reddit cuz I don't have enough Karma to post it over there lol)

[fallen fox]

some companies are already hiring for 2024

https://github.com/ReaVNaiL/New-Grad-2024

[untold fjord]

Do you happen to know the general time frame when they open for most of them? (like what month)

[fallen fox]

generally june/july

[untold fjord]

So that's for fall 2024? do they like open earlier for spring 2024?

[fallen fox]

for both

last year almost all big (ger) companies were done with their recruiting cycle by october/november for 2023(spring/fall) NG

[untold fjord]

June for Spring 2024 that's kinda late but others one might work for me 🤞.

[untold fjord]

I thoughts they would have much opening for every fall and spring of every year. So they hiring like in cycles of period of years?

[fallen fox]

yes, for 2024 ng most bigger companies will likely start recruiting (*if they do) from June/July/August and will likely have all the roles filled by October/November

[untold fjord]

yoo I just knew this lol. Feeling kinda fcked right now lol

[fallen fox]

When the economy was better (<early 2022), companies would recruit year long but that is no longer the case right now

[rain patio]

Yeah screw this economy. I'll just grind out this $18/hr IT/SWE job for 6-12 months and then try again next hiring season

[untold fjord]

It seems to get better right? But I heard there's a market crash might come but god knows when

[fallen fox]

No one knows lol

[untold fjord]

He,y good luck!! better things will come

[untold fjord]

How your searching process goin on? the name kinda gives it lol

[rain patio]

All I know is that the economy is cyclical...the economic downturn won't last forever

Just don't know when things will get better

[fallen fox]

[untold fjord]

6-12 months hopefully like u said

[untold fjord]

Hey good luck to you too!!!.

[fallen fox]

you too

[untold fjord]

do u been applying at all? like how many applications? I barely started, been grinding Leetcode rn.

[fallen fox]

probably 500+ applications; around 8 interviews and bombed them all

last hope is this state government consulting firm; their tech stack is old af but at least they pay nice

[rain patio]

I applied to a ton of government jobs. Never heard back lol

I'm a US citizen...

I'm just stuck in the 0 experience pit of despair

[untold fjord]

at least u are 500 times better than me. mine like 0( that's not how math works but ok). Yeah, I do also got the backup plan with gov contractors though.

[brave forge]

Idk us citizens in Utah don’t count

[obsidian crater]

Become a police officer

Only takes a month to get your badge and make 50k

Better than it job

[rain patio]

If i became a police officer, it would be to reform the police. Too bad that probably won't happen

[timber rock]

be the change you want to see in the world 😎

[untold fjord]

fck hiring rn. a Lil cute rant for today.

[obsidian crater]

You can solve my unemployment problem

[azure zephyr]

graduated college, neetcode left google. things will never be the same

[ornate cliff]

Neetcode's next video: "How I got into HRT"

[dense swan]

does company elastic ever open new grad role?

i only ever saw senior listings for the past few years

[grizzled bronze]

I wouldn't expect that to change for them anytime soon

[ornate cliff]

Get into Zon and work on OpenSearch instead

[untold fjord]

What do u guys keep telling yourself when feeling burned out looking for jobs? I am so numb right now after just looking for jobs 4 hrs straight and have not tailored my resume to each of them yet

[rain patio]

nothing lol. I already gave up

I just need experience

Just take whatever crappy job you can get that's somewhat related to SWE or IT, then try to employ as much of your programming skill as you can while working there

Slap that experience on your resume and make sure to highlight the coding stuff you did, then apply next year

I ended up getting an IT job in my town that pays $18/hr. Not the best, but I explained to them that I want to go into SWE, and they told me that they definitely could use my programming skills. I'll just say my job title was Software Developer or something lmao

[chilly burrow]

Don't tailor ur resume

[river horizon]

what part did you bomb? the technicals?

[earnest perch]

Really? I've been told that recruiters look for the exact keywords given in the job description

[static quarry]

Plz tell me you still have buffet job on the side

[ornate cliff]

Oh Canada ✊🏼😊🇨🇦

[fossil jewel]

places mainly use ATS

[obsidian crater]

Canadians just can't build housing

[fossil jewel]

and generally, for entry level, the description is just basic and vague

[earnest perch]

ATS would also look for exact keywords right?

[fossil jewel]

(proficient in one or more language such as Py, C++, Java)

ATS is just general

if its a job you really really really want

then sure you can tailor it

[ornate cliff]

Can't keep up with 10K immigrants a month tbqh 😂

[river horizon]

we can but demand too high

[obsidian crater]

can't build enough to keep up with demand

[river horizon]

yes thats a factor

[rain patio]

Bruh why would i still work there

[static quarry]

Its safe and u get free food

[chilly burrow]

Just list all your skills

Tailoring is a waste of time

[fallen fox]

yep

[river horizon]

sorry to hear that

[ornate cliff]

It's ok I had one interview out of 100 applications... It wasn't even hard... I choked HARD and gg

Now I'm applying to subway

@pulsar mural

[fallen fox]

sofi asked me two sum for a 160k role and i still managed to fail that interview loop

🔫

[pulsar mural]

yo

[chilly burrow]

Ramp, rite?

Isn't Ramp super tuff tho

[ornate cliff]

Nope... imo not tough at all

Resume screen is hardest part

😦

[chilly burrow]

Huh, som1 told me it was

Mayb it's rng

Or they're not as smart as u

[ornate cliff]

All backend interviews are the same from everyone I've asked

and it's easy... I can't believe I choked it

[chilly burrow]

It happens to the best of us

[river horizon]

NO PLEASE

[obsidian crater]

tfw I apply to a company thinking I'm a good fit for the position

[river horizon]

this is my worst nightmare

[obsidian crater]

Go on glassdoor, they just had mass layoffs and probably are going bankrupt

[river horizon]

good fit to save the company from the brink of death

[obsidian crater]

so mad

so mad

I'm maldin

Convinced it's doomed now

[pine topaz]

the prooblem is mostly local landlrods/busiensses buying up everything, also there are loopholes for foreign buyers so it was uselss - iirc they recently removed the ban too becasue it was useless

our poltiical leaders are landlrods too so its pretty much game over if you dont have a house imo

[obsidian crater]

over for Canadians

[rain swan]

someone please roast my resume -> https://discord.com/channels/698366411864670250/1117613654959988867

[worthy aspen]

So i'll be travelling to SF from the 19-23 for a bloomberg conference. Any recommendations for networking events or networking effectively while im in SF?

[final ore]

Hey guys! when will companies usually hire new grads? Are you guys actively seeing roles?

I got atleast some interview calls during peak inflation but not now

[fallen fox]

there are a few companies hiring for 2024 ng

[brave forge]

I thought it's just 2024 ng reservations? they arent doing interview rn

[fallen fox]

yeah

[final ore]

So.... should I apply for roles with 2+ exp? Almost every role in Linkedin has that basic eligiblity criteria....

[fallen fox]

yeah just apply everywhere

[obsidian crater]

Anyone do the block OA?

[frank wedge]

it’s gca

[obsidian crater]

Maybe I got scammed

[obsidian crater]

Codesignal GCA? They sent me a Coderpad GCA.

🥹

[fallen fox]

what were the questions like?

[obsidian crater]

Your typical LC easy-mediums

[fallen fox]

[obsidian crater]

It didn't have any bullshit matrix problems

I got really lucky

They had 3 problems I basically solved in the past 2 weeks so I just regurgitated the solutions lol

[fallen fox]

[obsidian crater]

Yeah Idk if I'm allowed to mention what questions were on the OA

[fallen fox]

did they make you sign an nda? if not go for it

or maybe dont

[obsidian crater]

probably against server rules

[fallen fox]

true

[split igloo]

got an interview with crappy local startup willing to pay $30/hr 💀

and they try to sub some of hourly pay with their so called equity which means nothing lmao

[solemn kite]

Thats a W in this economy. Get some good experience

[rain patio]

@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 🤣

[obsidian crater]

Roasting yourself L

[rain patio]

Bruh how tf are u getting OAs

My resume goes straight to the incinerator

referral

go on blind and beg

for referrals

[obsidian crater]

My resume is decent

[rain patio]

My resume is trash. 0 experience

1 cybersecurity internship where I didn't even write code

[split plaza]

what the fuck

what position is this

[obsidian crater]

lol

[split igloo]

Nah I have better offer, just been poking around different places

[raw plank]

virgin new grads complaining about not getting interviews or 1 offer, meanwhile this gigachad browses the market for fun W

[final ore]

Still I wont get a call

[obsidian crater]

How is yours scored out of 800?

[final ore]

I donno

[obsidian crater]

This market giving me brain damage for real

[obsidian crater]

Best I can do is a $15/hr job at a shitty biotech startup if I can

[rain patio]

$18/hr at an IT place for me 😭

it's over for new grads

no more 100k TC for us

SWE is going to become the next low skill automated job

like flipping burgers or something

[obsidian crater]

It won't

There might not be demand though

[split plaza]

Honestly so confused lmao

Is this for the Toronto position?

[quartz plinth]

i thought i was done with this server

pos amazon delay

now i’ve returned.

[final ore]

Yeahh

[obsidian crater]

let's get ghosted 🤜 🤛

[normal palm]

Bruhh same

[ornate cliff]

whats your rank on valo

[final ore]

Peak -> Plat 3 now plat 1

[ornate cliff]

is this step after GCA?

[ornate cliff]

FKKKKKKKKK I'm hovering d1 p3

[obsidian crater]

no, it's the gca

[ornate cliff]

WTF did they change it?

[obsidian crater]

idk

[ornate cliff]

coderpad gca instead of codesignal gca?

[obsidian crater]

it's basically the same just different platform

[ornate cliff]

but the application had a link to codesignal

[obsidian crater]

maybe they spoofed me

[ornate cliff]

[obsidian crater]

Let me email them

[final ore]

Whats ur main?

[ornate cliff]

all sentis lol.... 90% of the time cypher

[obsidian crater]

I tried getting into valorant

[final ore]

Cypher is a good agent... but depends up on map... and teammates... mine are jett reyna phoenix and skye... i play according to the map...

[ornate cliff]

I make it work on any map

[split igloo]

this whole reddit blackout is hella stupid

[final ore]

It atleast cancels out the depression caused by current market

[split igloo]

these mods need to touch some grass

[obsidian crater]

gaming just makes me more depressed

[split igloo]

if you are intl. you can go for MS or doing volunteer work under prof.

one of my friends decided to go with that route and keep grinding lc

[final ore]

I'm intl... and working for a good financial firm for peanuts 🥜

[split igloo]

at least she can stay in the US for an 1 year which is plenty of time for her to find an another job + economy gets back

[final ore]

Makes sense

[ornate cliff]

they should bend over and let reddit exec use them and abuse them

[split igloo]

mods power trip ngl

I believe majority of reddit users don't even use 3rd party app or whatsoever

[ornate cliff]

[split igloo]

unless super cracked and addicted to Reddit

literal no-life diggin in karma

[ornate cliff]

so how would you protest the API changes

or you the type to get on your knees for the ceo

[split igloo]

I don't care it's basically some 3rd party app makers whining about that they can't get what they used to have

[ornate cliff]

I think most mobile traffic is through these apps... I haven't met a single person that actually uses official app

which is why CEO is malding

[obsidian crater]

u/spez

[split igloo]

I mean Reddit ain't a charity, it's all business. Besides, I am not a heavy redditor, using official app. It does the job. so no complains,

[obsidian crater]

Reddit is a business that makes no money

[ornate cliff]

reddit gets carried by 3rd party apps, bots, and volunteer mods and users who post for free

[split igloo]

I mean those are all done voluntarily by them, not forced and pointed a gun in their head by Reddit

if they don't like the platform, they can just leave.

[ornate cliff]

that's literally what they're doing?

shutting down shop

some for just 2 days, but a few are closing permenantly

good job your brain is finally figuring it out

[obsidian crater]

[split igloo]

I am pretty sure they can't really achieve anything but some internet stunts

They all complain but come back

At least good for them, those heavy users finally can go outside and touch some grass

So this is perspective from non-heavy user

I can see those heavy users lost really neat tool which I get it

But users like me, it's just kinda funny and hilarious stunt on the internet

[ornate cliff]

5500/7000 subs have gone dark

almost 80%

[obsidian crater]

lol

rip cscareerquestions

[split igloo]

actually it might be a good opportunieis for unemployed new grad to start a new business to replace the reddit role

times like this will def be easy to get some traction

and all those 5500 subs will chant the new alt platform

in business perspective, it's the perfect timing

[obsidian crater]

reddit isn't profitable and I don't see how another clone could be

[split igloo]

so yeah that explains why they shut down the API

[ornate cliff]

I find it insane that reddit isn't profitable

[obsidian crater]

They aren't shutting down the API

[ornate cliff]

such a simple site with loads of user data

[split igloo]

I mean kinda increasing the pricing

[obsidian crater]

They're jacking up API costs in an attempt to make more money

[ornate cliff]

they wanna funnel everyone to their shitty app basically

[split igloo]

yeah because they lose money like you said

[ornate cliff]

they won't make any money from API cuz ain't nobody paying those fees

[split igloo]

I think that pretty much sums up why Reddit aint' giving a shit about 3rd party app

[ornate cliff]

I mean subreddits are like target marketing heaven

them shits can be niche af

[obsidian crater]

eh not really

[ornate cliff]

probably true ya

[split igloo]

remember

[ornate cliff]

they do... they want them gone 😂

[split igloo]

its super cool on REsume

Yo imagine

you got more than 100k users

and make it open source

good resume flex

actually sounds like pretty cool side project

coded Reddit clone and make it open-source in 2 days, getting more than 500k attractions

dang you can be a LinkedIn star

[obsidian crater]

you won't make it in 2 days

or scale it in 2 days lol

[split igloo]

yeah Iam just exaggerating lmao

but you know recruiters love numbers

and its super flashy side project ya know

[ornate cliff]

they should monetize content through like subscriptions,,, I'm surprised they haven't tried it

[split igloo]

then ppl prob leave

[ornate cliff]

like private paid subs

a la OF

[split igloo]

yeah

[ornate cliff]

no I mean for content creators to monetize

I don't mean put things behind pay wall

yah no that wouldn't work

but like what's patreon... it's just a page behind a pay wall

[split igloo]

it's like they are already spoiled enough that they won't accept any charges, besides those cosmetics on avatars lmao

[ornate cliff]

so a youtuber could make a paid subreddit where they post extra content

[obsidian crater]

Patreon from a business perspective started out paid

[ornate cliff]

oh it has livestream? ok respect

[obsidian crater]

Reddit was free so going to paid now will cause many users to bail

damn

twitch is 50 50 or something

[ornate cliff]

that's wild damn

reddit L business

they wanna IPO so bad

[obsidian crater]

I'm surprised reddit ran so long

How do unprofitable companies just run so long?

Don't VCs look at business models?

[ornate cliff]

when you have that many users

they'll keep you alive until you figure something out

reddit doesn't own anything... no content, no creators, no inherent brand

L

[obsidian crater]

netflix makes money though

reddit doesn't make money and neither does twitter

[ornate cliff]

twitter almost breakeven apparently

according to rocket man

[obsidian crater]

you're telling me investors just pay money to have twitter running on a loss?

pre rocket man time

true

apple is filthy rich

insane brand loyalty

[ornate cliff]

yeah they would flub their numbers with bot accounts and promise ad revenue

advertising to bots

[obsidian crater]

[ornate cliff]

Google is probably the best business model of all time

literally a money factory

[obsidian crater]

lol yeah

[ornate cliff]

When I was at Zon, AWS flew a whole bunch of interns to seattle and put em in hotels and had a nice event

my team did pizza night at the park

[obsidian crater]

Basically every company uses AWS

[ornate cliff]

[obsidian crater]

pizza good

what about spicy buldak ramen?

Do you have a job posting?

how is saying that helpful

[prisma flax]

before getting the application mail, I got the rejection mail

[untold fjord]

Hi yall just have some questions

I like to move to Seattle, but good entry jobs all seem closed

I can think of 2 options:

Should I grind Leetcode now and apply for other places? What is relocating to CA, and NY (big cities ) like? and later somehow grind another Leetcode and move to Seattle, or ask the current companies if I can relocate. Do yall happen to know which companies have multiple locations? between WA state and other states?

Or I Just get a contract defense job which is pretty chill (coop/intern position from 8 to 3 ) and grind Leetcode during that time and wait until mid-2024 for more jobs to open up in Seattle and apply.

Money is not my current problem right now.

New week, no new jobs

[grizzled bronze]

Important announcement: @pulsar mural is taking a break from the Cscareers.dev Discord to protest Reddit's API changes in solidarity with the developers who make third party reddit apps. Reddit's new API changes kill third party apps that offer accessibility features, mod tools, and other features not found in the first party app. More importantly however, the behavior of Reddit leadership in implementing these changes has been reprehensible.

Yak's account will be inactive for at least a week from June 12th.

[fossil jewel]

these are big words for @pulsar mural

i care enough to ask about ur day

[bold pier]

WARNING: yahkuna angy, will leave

[fossil jewel]

Hey, guess what? Someone named @pulsar mural is taking a break from a special chat place called Cscareers.dev Discord. Do you know why? They're not happy with something called Reddit's API changes. These changes are making it hard for other cool apps to work with Reddit. Some of these apps have helpful features like making it easier for people to use Reddit and helping moderators. But Reddit's leaders didn't do a good job in how they made these changes. It's not nice of them.

[autumn iris]

i saw that todays the blackout thing but

i go to reddit, and people r still actively posting

[fossil jewel]

they'll be back

lol

which doesnt mean anything

thats just taking a vacation and going back to the crap job

[grizzled bronze]

you all should be grateful and tip your CEOs

don't be an entitled gen z

[obsidian crater]

Don't forget to tip me

Otherwise I'll lightsaber you

[autumn iris]

isn't reddit itself going downhill

i thought they were suppost to IPO, but economy is sht

also they dont really have any revenue

[chilly burrow]

They have revenue

[autumn iris]

isnt it mainly in advertisement

[chilly burrow]

They're just "pre-profitability"

[autumn iris]

oh

[chilly burrow]

Well yeah

[autumn iris]

[chilly burrow]

It is a social media company

What do u expect

How do u tink Meta is profitable?

Or Google

[autumn iris]

[wind drum]

is there a list of companies that rescinded or delayed new grads this season anywhere?

[fallen fox]

that's like...every single company

[wind drum]

Eh i think the only truly big names that did that were meta and amazon

most of it was startups and smaller places

i think instabase and yext too

palantir did rescind some forward deployed new grads

Scale AI rescinded ppl for their nyc office

[chilly burrow]

That's not dat bad tho

They still have a job

[wind drum]

i thought they lost their offer

not as bad then yeah

[obsidian crater]

oh that's not bad

no reason at all. After applying , It automatically stuckin my brain liek a fact

[spark slate]

Hey everyone, I'm new here. Not sure if this is the proper chat for this but I was wondering how everyone is doing with job searching in these times. Over 150+ apps and no interviews for me. I have no internship experience. Feeling pretty defeated so if anyone has advice or wants to chime in about how you are approaching the entry level SWE job search in 2023, I'd appreciate it!

[hushed ember]

The meta role that got posted, is it 2023 new grad role ? or 2024 new grad role ?

[languid pond]

not much to say except tough market tbh, ive gotten like a handful of interviews but hasnt amounted to much

trying not to think about the passage of time and just keeping my head down and grinding basically

[inland hornet]

Sounds like both 2023 grads and 2024 grads are eligible if you read the job description

[hushed ember]

Yeah I understood that. I meant the starting date ?. I applied for the role through a referral. Meta sent me an email saying that I will get a response within 10 days. If it is 2024, then 10 business days from today seems to be far too early. Thats why.

[inland hornet]

Why too early? 2024 grad cycle starts mid June.. Google already opened 2024 summer intern app for example

[hushed ember]

In the past most of friends received interviews between september and october. But probably you are right.

[jaunty storm]

Mine froze.

[mystic vine]

Grinded leetcode for a few month, 300 applications and only 1 interview with Epic 😏 looks like I might have to find a regular job for now

[brave forge]

I paid $40 for 2 tickets to gotg 3 and 2 drinks and one medium popcorn lol

I even went in the afternoon when it was 30% off or it would have been even higher

[swift falcon]

my motivation to see movies in the theaters is 0

last one we saw was Mario and that was like the first one in 2-3 years

[brave forge]

I would also have low motivation if Mario is what I saw

I’m so hyped for Oppenheimer and mission impossible

Haven’t wanted a movie release this bad In yearsss

[swift falcon]

tho ig we saw mario so idk 😂

that was more for my kids tho

[brave forge]

I’m always impressed by how much 2 yr olds understand

yeah honestly I was like “shes not going to get anything out of it” and I ate crow on that

[swift falcon]

is oppenheimer supposed to be any good?

who’s in it?

[brave forge]

Idk but it’s a Steven Spielberg directed movie and he made interstellar and a few others i liked so seeing it is a no brainer

Plus a movie about the first atomic bomb, that’s a good story

[pine topaz]

Dune 2 and Oppenheimer

stop it

dont skull me

ive watched so many movies, its come to the point that the movies i watch are degrading in quality

[brave forge]

Idk about dune I saw the trailer in the theater

Still looks like a boring version of Star Wars

did u watch the movie...?

its only good because timothy chalamet is so attractive

i just use the regular reddit app

and have been for the last x years

Reddit is nice for discussion

[swift falcon]

it's cope thinking that'll do anything

[swift falcon]

its abt sending a “message”

what that message is? idk

[solemn spire]

Reddit will be blocking 3rd media like imgur and redgifs right?

[rain patio]

I think they're trying to show reddit that they can massively reduce traffic to thr website by making popular subs private. That should cut into reddit's profits from ad revenue

[swift falcon]

yeah you don't have the momentum/history but i'm sure after a month the new places will get enough traffic

I guess that is a big thing, usually searches are like "google show me this guy's balls reddit" and you find what you need

both wants u to return to school?

u got admission for master's?

if they allow u to return full time w/o master's ( ask them on last day if they can make a exception during summer) than drop master's

if ur close to any professor ask them for assistanship

yea but there's no harm in trying out

yea u already got lined up for summer and fall, just ask profs for spring from now on

[swift falcon]

I have a technical screen phone call with one of the partners at consultancy tonight

[lunar hatch]

Wait doesn’t bgcheck only check for completed degrees?

[swift falcon]

I was told they like to ask things like "OOP, recursion, looping, indexes" oh and also "tables"

am I going to bomb this?!?!?

[lunar hatch]

Like can’t you tell you planning for master

And bg check will not even ask about the intended program

But if you are doing a master

You are not enrolled anyways right

[obsidian crater]

Can I even get into a master's program? My GPA is > 3.0 but not excellent.

[lunar hatch]

Cuz your program has not started

[obsidian crater]

I wanna get into top 30 at least

Not paying out of my ass for average state school

[swift falcon]

I mean target school will tell you GPA reqs tbh

[prisma flax]

most top schools are 3.5ish but if u have some decent research contri than have a shot at those

[obsidian crater]

UT Austin just said > 3.0

[fallen fox]

if do snowflake in fall, what is your plan afterwards

[lunar hatch]

Yeah fair enough but imo you could at least finish the internship and negotiate with them

[obsidian crater]

I wanna try to get into quant but I'm gonna need t30 for that

[lunar hatch]

Cuz with that you have more time to find jobs+more experience

I meant keep applying when you are doing internship

[prisma flax]

ut austin has excellent research assistanships

[lunar hatch]

And write the internship experience on resume

[prisma flax]

it would make it around 10k usd for master's

[obsidian crater]

Yeah but I have no research exp

The most prestigious thing I've ever done is take part in 2 national level cybersecurity competitions and place 2nd in our region

🤡

[fallen fox]

i think pretty much most unis offer a non-thesis masters

where you just take classes like undergrad

[swift falcon]

you have to get like a concurrent internship with that though (at least mine did)

like 4 semesters or sth

[fallen fox]

generally not the norm

[swift falcon]

hmm really?

[fallen fox]

yeah

you also go BS > accelerated MS and be done in 5 years

[swift falcon]

the 5 years is kind of a misnomer though

because you have to like 100% book summers up with classes

[prisma flax]

try to reason this out and over play it, than u could pretty much easily enter t30's

[obsidian crater]

I'm gonna get fucked cause GPA

It's pretty bad

Senior year I got a 3.7 and 3.3 but freshman and soph year yikes

[fallen fox]

no you just take classes which count for both masters and bachelors

you would take graduate level classes in your junior/senior year

[swift falcon]

they don't count for both

at least, when I was in the 5 year track at my undergrad uni, that's how it was

you took a "Software Engineering" at a graduate level (which meant you had to write an extra paper or two)" and it counted towards grad degree credits, not undergrad

[rain patio]

Aka cash cow masters

[swift falcon]

so you basically were losing out on a course slot, or had to overload

not saying it can't be done

[prisma flax]

doing a non thesis master's is literally being a cash cow

[swift falcon]

but like you could just chill and do a 2 year masters

and it turns out to be like an extra semester

[rain patio]

Exactly

[fallen fox]

https://cs.camden.rutgers.edu/undergraduate/accelerated-degree/

also cross-listed for graduate credit in the program may be double-counted (i.e., they count for both undergraduate and graduate credit)

pretty sure most accelerated master's courses like that

[prisma flax]

not all university has this opportunities, I heard like purdue assistanships are not great as well

[swift falcon]

damn that's nice, because mine sure as hell was not like that

[fallen fox]

if you want a quick l4 faang job, does it even matter if you do thesis or non-thesis masters?

[prisma flax]

I did a non thesis but has research assistanship through out my master's ( it's possible to get research assistanships w/o thesis )

[prisma flax]

nah they doin't give a shit

[fallen fox]

it's a terminal degree and you won't get into a phd program but

does the industry care?

[rain patio]

I think you should beg bezos instead that should work better

“Quick” l4 faang in this environment lmao

Thanks for the laugh man made my day

[fallen fox]

obviously not in this environment lmao

if the industry doesn't care as a whole, and if you don't care about phd, then there's nothing wrong with a non-thesis masters program

[lunar hatch]

Anyone did in person onsite with cubist before?

It’s been really weird

[obsidian crater]

are you undergrad or master's?

[swift falcon]

oh wow it looks like my undergrad university got rid of the 5 year master's program lol

do skills sections matter if HR only looks at your resume?

[fallen fox]

i put random shit in the skills section; languages and frameworks i've only used once and that cost me a 160k tc job

interviewer started asking random shit from the random shit i put in

[fresh mango]

which interview this

[thick shell]

Me at my Ebay interview when they asked me about Swift and I only used it once lol

[whole berry]

i used to do this and add crap to my resume

until technical recruiters actively started asking me

dont add languages you worked with a year ago

dont have projects you dont remember things from anymore

for the sake of populating your resume especially

know a decent bit of what you add lol

[thick shell]

I had to stop this, cause I knew I would probably get burned again.

[whole berry]

same lol

i been told to add whatever i worked with before

but truth is thats a risky game

sure you might pass resume screen but if they ask you, often times youre gonna be asked questions about it and youll probably be stumped

so the odds are never really in your favor for the long run

[cloud zinc]

If you want to keep those old tools, cram as much as you can about the tool before the interview

I've put Typescript in my resume because of a learning project that I've put on hold. Prior to a zoom interview, I've scanned the cheat sheet for hours on end

i gotta prepare a cheat sheet too

there are tons of cheat sheets available for frontend frameworks

idk, I heard that I'd be screened on frontend with STI and thought that was fair game.

holy fuck i cant access cscareer questions

[solemn spire]

yea man

[quartz plinth]

i wouldn’t personally

but everyone’s situation is different

if you had 0 plans for a masters and you’re taking a loan to get one just to secure an internship i would definitely not (personally)

could maybe look into delaying graduation unless you already graduated

[grizzled bronze]

I don't see the point of taking a loan to do a Masters

Try to take it easy, you keep worrying about that. Only time will tell.

[quartz plinth]

even return offers aren’t guaranteed though

it’s too many ifs all thrown together imo

[grizzled bronze]

Regardless the SoFi internship is gonna be great in your resume and will help

[quartz plinth]

that’s fair

i can’t speak to that situation personally, but i hope you find something that works well for you

[quartz plinth]

“associate software engineer” then 3-10 yrs of experience

LinkedIn sucks at tagging roles, the only way is to manually look. I get good at skimming listings and finding out which ones are entry level and are not. Just keep doing that and you'll get better at it.

and a bit of sql, probably could have done better but it wasn't the worst and I feel like I got the answers after discussing a bit with the interviewer, hopefully that doesn't screw me over
