uhmmm
😦 its joever

how are dp problems all optimally n^2 or n^3
i'm so lost lol. what do you mean that isn't dp?
idk lol the dp problems I did in my college class were n^2 at best and involved tabulation. Stuff like traveling salesman or the knapsack problem...
i thought dp was some class of very difficult problems that have no non-polynomial solution
oh
^
just look up neetcodes stuff on em
oh i guess what I was talking about is an NP hard problem
i was mixing that up with dynamic programming
fibbonaci can be done with O(1) space
Some DP problems can be done in constant space
Like fibonacci
But rare
Som contract shit
the roblox oa was pretty hard damn
I haven't done it. I completely plan to just do it as practice. A lot of companies just flat out made the OAs much harder than before.
i ran out of time
They want people to fail even if they are capable of doing it.
for the game or gca?
for the coding assessment part
roblox ?
i had 2 questions
Roblox OA is hard af lol
its pre rng 
But then a recruiter reached out to me 💀
it was only 4q before
its fine man just take it as practice, there will be more opportunities
and roblox resume screens after too
It is honestly disgusting how the resume screen is after the OA
Wasting my time
Something something "We don't want unlucky people working at our company"
yea and the companies who screen after OA are usually the ones who screen harder
like hfts
wait how many questions is roblox?
the questions themselves werent that bad but i just fucked up with time
Shouldn't even be allowed to do that, but unfortunately, companies are allowed to waste people's time.
i was debugging and wasting time
i would do the games still though, like they reused the car game from last year, might help you if you take the OA in the future
Any auto OA I get is practice in my eyes
Don't give two shits about it
Just try your best, and call it that.
More like they are fine with losing out on some good talent but they really really really don't want unskilled people
Yea, I already mentioned this. They don't care about having a high false negative rate, they just want a low false positive rate.
i'm disappointed in roblox. If they're expecting their SWEs to be that good, why tf can't they actually improve their game engine
The roblox game engine is so far behind anything like Unity or Unreal, and it still uses your CPU to render stuff for the most part and is horribly unoptimized
literally, some roblox games work my computer harder than Elden Ring on ultra settings and look worse than minecraft
you'd think a company as wealthy as roblox could hire competent game engine developers
i doubt Unity or Unreal make as much money as roblox smh
i think it's fair to compare them because it shows what the roblox engine is lacking
supposedly roblox uses C behind the scenes, but only for expensive functions and stuff
what!?
how is it a different use case
both are used to make games
one just is more optimized and has more features
CPU rendering in 2023 is just a big no no unless you really need to
engines can be designed completely differnt depending on the context
especially unreal vs unity lmao
also its hard to make an engine that is a general level editor, game designing tool like unity or even roblox and make it really good at performance
roblox doesn't even use culling lol
you can stick your face in a large wall so that it's all you see, and the game still tries to render stuff behind the wall that you can't see anyway
they said they can't implement culling because of mobile device compatibility lol
why not just only enable it on pc smh
game optimization has been researched for decades, and there's tons of papers on all this stuff. it's just a matter of getting off their butts and implementing these features
and if they expect their SWEs to be giga geniuses, might as well put them to work and have them optimize the game
roblox is an app that runs on your system...
you go to the website to view games, but clicking play requires you to have the app downloaded on your pc/mobile device
yeah roblox has no right being this unoptimized lol
They probably don't have a incentive to do so.
Also roblox started as a physics sim afaik
this is moronic holy shit
this guy is def from this server 
I know we are all having a hard time but gawdamn I’m sad and tired
Hope everyone experiences at least one good thing each day
im dying at this, do you ACTUALLY get 110k in LCOL now or are you all fucking around
I love when no one knows it’s satire
the ups thing is a meme
they dont get paid salary lmao
its like $40ish/hr with 80-100 hr work weeks
you start at like $20ish, then after 4 yrs u get raise
gotcha yeah i didnt know what the actual negotiation got them
they should go on strike again soon and their tc will be 270k TC per year instread of 170k TC

the only people who got benefitted from the increase in hourly
are the highest paying one who been there the longest
also they are usually in HCOL
average is way lower

galaxy brain 2 gatekeep UPS so we dont work at UPS instead

Its hella exhausting bro. I was so hopeless, still am but i do no feel it anymore. Its been a habit now. Walking zombie
When UPS gets its own version of Leetcode
move to LA and start OF
just remember if you’re not getting a swe offer you wouldn’t be getting a UPS driver offer either
if anyone need a referral to Vanguard, DM me
for example there are 2 Entry positions here
https://www.vanguardjobs.com/job/18837091/entry-level-application-engineer-2024-start-date-charlotte-nc/
https://www.vanguardjobs.com/job/18837090/entry-level-application-engineer---2024-start-date-malvern-pa/
well they are most likely hybrid so you have to relocate, also for Entry level they won't sponsor your visa
Even canadians?

no sponsorship. rip 
bruh what made you think that

cuz when i doxxed myself
some guy immediately added me on linkedin
with the same internships as u
@halcyon topaz did you pass all test cases?
couldnt pass one hidden test case for the color oa

Ya I did

You had the like articles sorted one right?
yeah
depends, for amazon accounts are merged so theres no point but idk about roblox
Damn
I feel like It wasn’t that hand I just fumbled the time super hard
So I’m butthurt
LMFAO
Life is Roblox
Did anyone go to Tapia last year or before that! I was considering to go and was curious to learn about the experiences of past attendees
Saw this as a requirement in JD
Do you guys extensively answer the question “why do you want to work at palantir?”
I find these questions so unnecessary
Use chatgpt
I’ll paste the statement in gpt and ask it to craft the best answer relating to my background
Chatgpt, chances are, probably already knows it
They said not to use AI tools, idk if they have some checker for that but will paraphrase it
Idk why companies ask this question ffs as if they’ll ready 1000s of why work at palantir
💀💀💀
Yeah if companies are asking redundant questions/too many in depth questions, i dont see the point in not using chatgpt. Why spend all that time when 99% of the time they either reject you or dont read it anyways

Palantir Technologies Inc. only wants employees who agree with the company’s mission to give the U.S. and other Western governments technological advantages over their enemies, Chief Executive Alex Karp said.

I would recommend staying off that subreddit.
No it's funny
It's just in shambles
I just spent an hour figuring out something I wrote awhile ago, I wish I could just remember everything
bruh it would take a year atleast
idk why people think decemeber's gonna be fine , thats what 2023 grads felt last year that in jan 2023 things would be better but it went all mayhem
hi
everyone join ups
hairy beach ball , nice username
or serve our country with defense o7
i applied for a role at McDonalds , Sr.Burger Flipper
but got resume rejected

@past hound bro u been typing since like 5 mins , gives me anxiety

Fuck, I mindlessly emotionally dumped all my feelings into that message. I saved it, but I'd imagine this isn't the right place to do it (my unemployment was part of it, but there is others parts to it).
I agree a year at least

its okay you can talk about it if it makes you feel better @past hound

everyone's going through some shit in their lives
Here is the message I originally typed out:
Mood. I don't feel hopeless, I know things will eventually get better. However, I do feel very, very exhaused mentally. After I graduated, I have been grinding really hard with no pay off. As a result, for the last few days, I have felt like I am slowing steam. I know I need throw more into the fire to keep it going and something will come up. It sucks being unemployed, but it sucks even more being unemployed and being trapped at my parent's place. I don't have a car anymore, I can't go anywhere without someone doing it for me. In a way, I feel like a child because of this. Like I am not a adult because I am a dependent. I barely move at all from the moment I wake up till the moment I fall asleep. I don't have a healthy relationship with my family. They think we have a healthy relationship, but in reality, all I feel is resentment towards them. I feel physically trapped with people I used to love, and not people I still love. I don't tell them how I feel because they would never understand and all it would result in me becoming homeless. There are realities about who I am that they will never accept and see as normal. To be more specific, I am part of the LGBT community, and my parents don't know that, and interactions with them make it clear that they truly see people like me as "weird", gross", and disgusting (those are their words).

Man yeah...Im so grateful for my parents
i assume you had a car , so umm did you sell it or you were renting it out ?
I feel for anyone who doesn't have that support
I had one, it broke down, so now I don't.
oh
i would suggest go on a solo trip somewhere, it would cost BUT your mind will be fresh again
All I can suggest is going outside cuz that's all I do
yeah
Unlikely. I will never be happy while I live under their roof.
Understandable

It sucks that parents cant be who we need them to be a lot of the time
i am staying alone in a new city , there's nothing here no friends nothing its hard but what i do is everyday i go to this random cafe and sit there all day. its a good change of place and idk why i feel more productive there
On a emotional level, finding employment feels exactly like a prison escape.
Yeah I just sit on my porch all day sometimes and work
well that's the thing with most of us currently 
Being in the outdoors makes me feel easily 10x more calm and more measured.
Waking up is the worst anxiety for me so I just go outside and sit for awhile
It is a bit different when you don't have a healthy relationship with the people you live with and are dependent on.
same , whenever i feel anxious i take my laptop and go somewhere like wherever this atleast wifi
I know dude. It's easily 10x harder
i hope you feel better and the relation mends 
yea
I hope life turns around for you

Idk about you guys but I watch a lot of jerma these days lol
Lots of normal content just be too real
I can't even watch primeagen
been watching alot of eva elfie lately 
It won't. I am out to my friends, but I will never take the chance and out myself to my parents. There are plenty of stories of queer people like myself doing this and becoming homeless that way. I'd rather not fuck my life for good on the chance that it happens. By at least having a roof over my head, I have the time and energy to continue the process. It is hard to mend a relationship like this. They love the person they think I am, not the person I actually am. In their mind, coming out is killing that "person" they love, and replacing it with someone else.
Eva Elfie yeah
It is a huge incentive to find employment and get out, but as you would imagine, everyday is a struggle to believe that it will come to a end.
It's not trivial to just deal with that relationship either, like I mean it's just hard emotionally to let go of your parents in that way
she has a few videos on 2d and 3d dp 
Maybe even 4d

I think I'm gonna go work with my friend at this restaurant like 1 or 2 days a week
I'm so bored need people
I have already let them go on a emotional level.
It may be bad to say, but there is no love.
I only deal with them because I don't want to be homeless.
Ig just a lot of people I know who are in similar situations still struggle with it to a degree, was what I was kinda pulling from anecdotally. I understand though
I have the opposite situation. I live in the middle of nowhere (rural area). All there is fields and long roads. The nearest bus stop is a 2 hour walk from my house.
Shiet. Lets send them a fukin excel sheets resume
@past hound wake up at like 6-7 before the run rise and jog for like 30 minutes or even walk. You need to appreciate things more. For my side, I just feel like im handicapping my parents. After all they done to me, all I could offer back to them is unemployment. Such a failure.
Here we go
Dang
is the situation getting better? 
Had one 2 weeks ago
Guy said he'd get back to me after his vacation (so I'll hear back sometime this week)
i believe in you dawg
He said I passed and did well
Wanted a team interview later
The thing is it's not a big company so it'll be something I do just to get my foot in the door
tc is low but whatever 
🤢
more evidence that this profession has been tainted by normies lookin to make a quick buck, not by true aficionados of the craft
CS BELONGS TO THE NERDS!
Bro joined a fraternity
Lol this is me but I love my parents so
i feel like crying at this point , i have fixed my resume like a shit ton of times still i get resume rejected
i got rejected from blizzard after literally tailoring my resume to every single bullet point they had on their listing
i also had internship experience with wpf, a rare and obsolete framework which they wanted
still rejected

It's gonna get better but it may never go back to how it was lol
It was pretty absurd and abnormal 2020- early 2023
Idk if you were expecting that level of salary but I def was not
Yeah but pay prolly isn't coming back the market will

Also tech recession was BAD in 2008 all the way until 2010 in areas not strictly tech
So defense, healthcare, everything
It was not good
Just be glad you're not my brother graduating in 2008 with an English degree
I mean liberal arts degrees are kind of a meme
If you just have an UG liberal arts degree and you hope to find a job it's kind of your own fault

and you get flagged
Mind games
yep
i cant be the only one who has closed an OA halfway thru out of frustration or annoyance
thats what i say
I use VIM personally, but I also have the compiler to check my synatax.
vim is death for most of us
Said OA didn't even allow you to compile
You had to submit without testing
he was a genius
Anyone wanna buy my degree? Its new. Not used

Haven't had a single interview in months

Same
Things seem to be eopening up but I'm not getting any calls/OA or anything
Aggressively hiring

I applied yesterday and got OA this morning
Do you have the link by any chance?
is there a close date anywhere for Citadel OA?
it just says take any time and i got it on Sat
Nope, they actually never sent me a conformation email either
It was posted here somewhere
or just google "sig new grad"
in the postings section?
I did and I applied but I stil lhaven't received an OA :/
I honestly can't remember I apply to so many jobs everyday
On sig OA I got a graph problem + valid binary search tree
Valid bst

the heatwave out west this year, July 2023 is incredible! everyone is feeling the heat in every state! including us here in Phoenix Arizona.
I got an email on friday saying they just received it despite me finishing the application a couple days prior, so im sure they are just late with processing things
Stay safe @pulsar mural
insane
Color’s application site was down on Friday so I think that’s why they took a while to update
It went back up on Saturday
Anyone who is looking for jobs in C#, .NET and actively preparing and interviewing?
No you’re good. If you submitted it then it’s okay
On Friday it was giving a message that job is no longer available
Then it opened again

Got an offer for a new grad SDE role that was pushed to April. Got an interview for a new grad PM role if I get the pm role would it make sense to take it work it until the SDE role or take it if the SDE role is cancelled and still try applying to other software roles ?
Im in a similar boat, gonna just play it by ear
Plan on taking any offer i can get cuz my delay has no date, just early 24
Don’t wanna get stuck being a PM when I wanna be a dev 😂💀 I have no work experience in either ☹️
Oh shit not even a month ?
Gawdman stay strong
I have a day but people are saying not to trust the company since they pushed it so far in the first place
yes dont
mine i think is being realistic in that they cannot guarantee anything for us
But I need money so if I get the PM role reject ?
if you need money take it
Fuhhh
im taking a dev role at a 100 employee company most likely
Are they hiring 👀
you can always accept and push start
keep pushing start date continually
Does all of this stem back to Covid ?
yes? idk my final is friday and they are hiring local (i think)
push start and wait for another thing and reneg if you have to
US or Canada
US
Fuck it may have to
75 USD Lawd nah Canada sucks
If anyone wants to get married hmu

how do you know about Santiago's?
How to message recruiter
Like what do you guys usually say when you reach out to a recruiter
doesn't matter, they'll ghost you anyways
but I think "PLEASE DEAR GOD, HELP ME. HELP. MEEEEE." would go over well
Okay sick
"Bro I'll do whatever you want if it means a referral, bro. please bro"
How much
I got a referral already and applie
And a recruiter just connected with me from the company

Hi <Esteemed Hiring Manager>,
I just wanted to touch base and thank you for taking the time to interview me last Monday. I enjoyed learning a little bit about the background of the <city> office and what <company> has to offer. From what you described, I really believe I would thrive in this multifaceted role- the challenge to learn <tech x>, to break into the dev side of <industry y> and most of all connect and work with clients. I think I've got the right set of skills and experience that will allow me to hit the ground running and make an impact.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do that will help you in making a decision on whether to move forward with me as a candidate.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Regards,
<Chef Pierre>
is this too fangirl
it's kinda geniuinely how I feel
Change hi to Greetings, and maybe remove esteemed as it sounds too fangirly

WHY ARE THEY USING LIGHT MODE
When did you apply? For which position?
I am already in the process from last year
NG?
Okay, they're opening more hc?
when did you apply to roblox? was it an immediate OA email?
yes
No one knows 
did the recruiter just approach you or did you approach the recruiter?
It's my assigned recruiter I already passed hc
@vital meteor my recruiter said the posting is inaccurate and is supposed to be for an internship position
🙃
I'll do internship at this point

it's also supposed to be in singapore 
That salesforce ng role in #grad_postings_old is looking for 23 grads but you have to be a citizen 
Time to focus on ropemaxxing 
is there any type of confirmation email sent after completing a hackerrank assessment?

dec 2022 grad from T10 still unemployed
0 votes and 1 comment so far on Reddit
nvm his offer got rescinded

Still the same as being unemployed
Are you guys gettiing linkedin inmails?
his offer was rescinded a month ago
that means hes been only searching for 1-2months max
G recruiter, google?
yeah i realized that later
stupid question
is summer 2024 internships postings available yet
or am I too early/late?

some
has anyone given the codesignal tests recently?
you are gonna make it bih
seriously where da fk are all da java jobs ffs
Javas dead
I just got OA at X by 2
For people with 5 yoe in spring boot
^ old shit is old
all i see in my area is front end or embedded/c++
You can't move??
Like can't?
Same kinda spread for me tho. Lots of embedded and web dev
As a former hiring manager, I can tell you that 90% of the resumes we get for our entry level SE postings are straight trash. Like they don't even meet the minimum requirement of "Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Software Engineer or related major or possess equivalent work experience" so they ATS just throws them out. So don't let the high application numbers scare you from applying.
I don't believe this, and even so, 10% of 1400 is like 140 ppl to contend with. Also, I feel like that can't even be right, there are some more sane numbers that are like 68 people that I wouldn't be suprised if it's like 30+ qualified applicants. I mean all of the 20 colleges in my areas with new CS grads + anyone who is a holdout etc has to be applying.
like literally cannot
Is there any main reason you're targeting java?
This is actually true sometimes
cannot move outside of a 10 mile radius basically
That's a big problem
Cause you live in a place with no tech jobs
- remote jobs have insane competition
yeah, and they're in like one of the top 15 school districts for the state
My manager at my internship said that a massive portion of people applying to their roles don't meet the basic qualifications so anecdotally it's true at smaller places. So like I don't think that reddit post is cap at all.
Like bootcampers apply to shit requiring an MS
Regularly
lowkey i just be throwing my resume in even if it says masters degree or X years of experience hoping for something to happen at this point
I've got a 4th grader already so it would be cruel to take her away, she's already changed school districts 2 times 😦 (though she's basically naturalized at her current one)
I found so many 0-2 yoe jobs last night
I did like 15 apps
i did 20+ today
Get money
started keeping track of them properly rather than applying and hopin for an email back
I did like 5
I don't even bother tbh
I still set and forget
I probably should, but all the ones I did are like auto-reject
I assume I'm not competitive enough
You probably aren't
But you should
Look more
I legit always find more jobs than I expect
how quick should u do an OA
I use a combo of LinkedIn indeed Google and other shit
I always tell myself I'm going to apply to everything but never do xD
You need to
All 3 places I've interviewed with in the last 4 weeks have been random googles
That literally came up while looking for other companies
hmmm
I should probably stop spiraling in linkedin too and branch out
It's anecdotal tho
Use linked in and sort by new and go deep as fuck into the pages
Google names
I Google companies near me and literally look through the list/map
I just found a bunch of SWE jobs at local credit unions
ive been using LinkedIn and Handshake for the most part, gotten 4 OA's in the past week or 2
I just go to random cities and look
way back in march i was crawling across google map in my city and looking for medium - enterprise companies
Yep I've gotten many OAs I have pending
lol handshake is a joke for me
Gonna do this one I just got on Wednesday cuz birthday is tomorrow
I use indeed and linked in with Google that's about it
But honestly I randomly think of places to look and sometimes they have swe roles near me. There are jobs around here at least
Like (I'll dox myself) Michigan State uni credit Union
Shit tc but I just want experience rn
This willow tree offer I'm still hopeful for coming back to me in 2024
lol
it was replying to a comment about someone mentoring a junior and that the junior had 4 offers in 2 weeks
Reddit is filled with goofies
I heard a tiktok influencer former Hiring manager say "SEPTEMBER SURGE IS COMING"
so idk
career fair is in like a month basically
1000s of apps after just a few hours of app opening. is this normal? like it used to be like this in prev years. or it is oversaturated this time??
For some jobs yeah idk
It felt less rough last year but still not great for me Mr mid resume
I've got to get sth built
honestly if I don't get this job I just replied to
I'm going back to grind and I'm just going to dive in and whip something together, fuck trying to learn it from the ground up lol
yeah
but a non-trivial one
Good shit
even if I got the shit built and can say "in the process of trying to upload to apple app store etc."
i jus gotta fkkin dew it
I'm doing my projects still and they aren't on the app store but they're getting big
And they def help me
Just gives a ton to talk about cuz I've probably spent 1000 hours at least on projects in the last year
Not focused the entire time but learning a fuck ton
I have no kids. I no lifed working on random shit since last September and I had an internship from Aug - Jan
That id be working at rn if not for meddling willow tree
If you need help on Android lemme know lolol
I can show you my mvvm setup for it lol
trying to get into apple watch tbh
I feel like trying to do android and ios atm is going to hold me back
I have this big strength training app I'm building the back and front ends for. Maybe yeah
oh nice
I spend 90% of my time since I got my offer delayed applying or leetcode
what is the back end like
It's asp.net and postgres
And auth is firebase
It's basically a very flexible training tracker
With graphing is the other thing cuz I made graphing components with gesture support
ah interesting
They need a visual pass but they work ok for time based data sets
Or like data sets where x doesn't go all over
Lol although it probably works cuz it just draws paths and scales them idk I need to make more automated tests for that shit but it's kind of a final part of the whole thing so haven't touched it for awhile.
Android gesture API is rough as fuck lol
do you have your front end done?
Mostly but I'm leetcoding
I originally wrote it without MVVM structure
So I'm actually rewriting it now
so when you started this whole project, what was your point of entry, like where did you begin it all?
Because it became pretty shit
some advice I got was to design front end first
Learn Jetpack Compose
Was my thing
And make a crud app
But since then I learned how to make APIs and more backend shit
But yeah I have the whole front end planned
Basically can write it and directly plug it into apis
Ez pz
It's just work
I have an extremely rigid structure I stick to for front end
Mvvm if you don't know it look it up
I have a vague idea
Basically you have event classes, you have state classes, you have viewmodels
I did a mobile app in undergrad that was based on a tutorial using that
Viewmodels push state down to the UI and the UI bubbles events up to the viewmodels
does that have libraries for it or did you come up with it from scratch?
Viewmodels generally encapsulate something of some complexity, so some complicated components like a calendar could have a viewmodels of sorts and use events
Scratch it's simple
huh
Just inherits the Android Viewmodel class but all the functionality is hand rolled
Would be happy to demo just dm
I've applied it to web apps too
yeah id be down to see it
Cool we can do it one of these days
It really helped me start building
Now I just know how to tackle shit on this stuff it's soo much easier to add stuff
@swift falcon are u using android or iOS
MVVM is pretty intuitive in iOS, I typically build the frontend out and then once u need to input data u can design the models
so i can be a real ios apple dev
Apple has decent docs covering the pattern
Hell yeah shit rocks
Only bad part is Xcode imo, make sure ur MacBook has enough RAM
lol
I DMd btw. I'll send you my module with the backing classes for it tomorrow for your reference.
tbh i will probably just develop on my pc
My laptop sounds like it’s gonna fry itself during builds
The simulator doesn’t even run sometimes 
jet engines: fshhhhhhhhhhhhhh
my laptop when I open a chrome tab: FSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
let me just spitball here: I need a watch app, a phone app and a website, so 2 of those are directly apple related and then the other one would be just some react or sum shit
bacteria inside my laptop when i open a chrome tab:
U can technically use react native I think?
for all of that?
I still haven't made a website not related to my internship and don't want to
You can technically use Compose Multiplatform but don't do that
Not watch actually
Not watch
Don't know if RN would work on the watch?
Yep I ran into that with WearOs
oh so I can create the app with react native?
On android
like it's an actual app
Yea the app is fine
Yeah and interop probably
well if I could do what I want, it'd be a javafx app
I really wanted to learn kotlin and Jetpack Compose because I thought it was a really cool UI framework conceptually
I have done that before lol
but i've done 3 years of that and it hasn't helped
Using Scenebuilder
so I need to buckle down and learn react/js/frontend web shit
I’m doing React + Tailwind rn
I just despise html conceptually
Good shit
with a smattering of angular
Mvvm that up too
but i feel like if I learn one and apply with it, it transfers to the other or at least count for something
All of em are easier to pick up after the last I feel
Places just ask for specific experience but yeah it's better
I always get rejected for android roles that use non native
I get hit backs for android native
what is android native
so not c++
😬
JK but I like it
so my undergrad was all java
but I took mobile class right when android switched from java to kotlin
so my teacher was like fuck it watch some prof in berkley teach his class and follow along, I'm not rewriting the syllabus
Epic
and that berkley proff got fired halfway through for partying with students
so it was a trip trying to learn everything by myself, I ended up doing all the back end in java and the front end in kotlin
Hell yeah well you got to it
but it's been like 4 years
I mean I'd use it if it came with a job
this job I'm hoping to hear back from uses Scala, and I'd have to learn it
Scala is sickkk
but I'd prefer Java over either 
C# imo is better java I absolutely love C# too
when can I achieve this? https://twitter.com/roshanpateI/status/1691121408020185088/
Soon brother
90% of the code I've written since start of CS has been in Java so that's kind of why I guess
I feel fluent in it
everything else is just me hacking shit together
Lots of jobs too

I apply to tons of C#
I made a C# blazor site at my internship and bunch ASP shih
1 year internship with .net and c#
nope resume reject
yeah probably
I swear I be actively looking for the fresh stuff when I find some it's exciting lol even if it's no names
I just got an OA from a healthcare consultancy near me
For SWE role

i live in nj
What's your strat for finding like 'unknown' roles aka no names
I think Blue Cross Blue shield has something fyi I applied last night
got rejected by them twice
Ur local companies give out OA’s?
Are u intl?
Damn keep fighting bro you’ll get a shot
Oh mine don’t, though i don’t have many local firms near me outside of federal/defense
There’s a GitHub repo for places with no LC, that’s what I consider under the not known umbrella
typical medium/smaller companies
With NO LC?
Yep
That's kinda lame
Lol
But fair game
I'm gonna check it out I just want lesser known apps is all
Some of them are pretty reputable in their respective industries
Like Accenture but ig that might be a bit subjective
Don't give up, September is around the corner
Payroll stuff
^
i dont even qualify for ng 2024 roles :ropium:
Did u make a LinkedIn post yet
no 
Worth a shot, if the right person sees it’s u can go in the right direction
I got a phone screen cause some random saw my profile there
Yeah got Cisco referral this way
And a good Cisco connect
Who I'm chatting with
Cisco ghosts too much, I applied once freshman year never heard back until I saw my app status the other day
Hang on hang on
I have a learning development manager from ciscos email
What does that even mean idk
Lol idk either
Does Cisco have some type of internal training course thing
maybe i can try that
Like at zon they have teachers and adjunct lecturers
Who teach employees specific stuff
Im planning on doing that
