[vital meteor]

[autumn iris]

[tardy geode]

[brave forge]

Cutest shit ever

I need a cat

i need a rabbit

https://tenor.com/view/kneeling-rabbit-pet-barefeet-feed-eating-gif-17178603

look how big it is 😭

i can literally give the rabbit a proper hug

[vital meteor]

People run when I try to hug but that rabbit won't

[rain patio]

yeah that's why i want a rabbit lol

[bold pier]

I can do with a hug too, it's been ages

[rain patio]

a rabbit is a pet, a pillow, and a friend all wrapped into one

[vital meteor]

[golden agate]

Rabbits are good for 2 things

[frosty gale]

rabbits in general don't like cuddling and they're quite tricky to domesticate

[rain patio]

maybe i'll just get a big dog then

or a sheep

[golden agate]

mini goldendoodle

[frosty gale]

I heard it takes like a year to build rapport with your rabbit

[bold pier]

Get a Chihuahua, most cuddly animals in the world

[frosty gale]

until then you're just a walking food feeder to them

[vital meteor]

Maybe a cat and pray it's the type that likes being held

[bold pier]

Just adopt a cuddly cat from shelter, no need to pray

[rain patio]

Do dogs like to be hugged?

My parents have a dog that's super cuddly, but idk if she's just an exception lol

She's the most friendly dog I've ever met. THinks everyone is her friend

[frosty gale]

my dog likes to hug everyone

[rain patio]

lol

[frosty gale]

some breeds don't like cuddling and tend to be nonchalant & independent

chow-chow, shiba inu, bloodhounds

but most dogs are affectionate

[vital meteor]

Chow chow?

That sounds made up

[rain patio]

me when I stop being busy and sit down for 2 min

[forest elk]

is her name WAGMI?

[bold pier]

Life is short, stay busy.. you can rest in your grave!

[fossil jewel]

golden retrivers are good pups

dogs are a responsibility so if you're working long hours you gotta think about whether or not its a good idea to adopt

you can try fostering (friendly dogs) and see if it's for you

[rain patio]

yeah i won't be home for a good 8-9 hours on weekdays

maybe i could get 2 dogs so they keep each other company

or a bunch of rabbits

i bet feeding rabbits is pretty cheap

[pine topaz]

@rain patio I suggest you getting kids. Triplets so they dont get bored

[bold pier]

Imagine reading this without context

[pine topaz]

Can I sell your kids? times are hard

[rain patio]

maybe they should pay us to have kids like they do in japan

if our corporate overlords want more workers, they need to make living conditions better or we aren't going to have kids willingly

[pine topaz]

They are gonna ban abortion before that happens

I know the job market is bad and people are struggling to find a job, but fear not. The market will recover on October 26, 2026.

[tardy geode]

thats cap

the market will recover on october 32 , 2023

[oblique harbor]

You mean November 1. October only has 31 days

[tardy geode]

Just when i had some hopes that the market is picking up , flexport fucked up . feel sad for the affected 😦

[autumn iris]

[hardy cypress]

Sounds like a bad idea lol but can't knock the hustle

[past hound]

Some people just have no shame.

The ticket price is insane though

[tardy geode]

like me who is gonna attend a 6 hour meeting on a sunday night until monday morning 3 am

[vital meteor]

for work?

[tardy geode]

yeah for the sweatshop

[vital meteor]

tbh its also for non binary and no one will assume and ask

[hardy cypress]

I have a job interview for a job that pays 15 an hour what is happening

[tardy geode]

bro i get paid just above minimum wage in a HCOL area

the guy at mcdonalds earns more than me

let that sink in

[past hound]

It is 100% wrong from a moral standpoint. You likely wouldn't get caught if only a small number of people are doing it, but if the trend caughts on, the entire event is ruined.

[autumn iris]

[hardy cypress]

Bruh me too i am beyond fucked

[tardy geode]

[autumn iris]

[hardy cypress]

This job is not even software related its some random data entry job i just dont get why even bother with an interview for such a low paying job but I will go anyway

[vital meteor]

how is this possible

[tardy geode]

18-20$ per hour biweekly , no OT

[hardy cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/ryan-gosling-drive-its-so-over-its-so-fucking-over-gif-25620664

[hardy cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/poor-mickey-mouse-hungry-stingy-bread-gif-9574980

[tardy geode]

SHIT IS SO FUCKED

[past hound]

min wage is by state for the most part

[autumn iris]

[past hound]

federal only matters for federal employment

[autumn iris]

Do u guys even have loans

[hardy cypress]

Don't talk about loans bro

[autumn iris]

Interest starting again

[past hound]

and as a base floor

[autumn iris]

[hardy cypress]

[tardy geode]

people saying 2024 is gonna be recession as feds gonna increase rates

they will increase during holiday season too

[wintry belfry]

10 more business days 😐. Anyone hear back after this? wrong channel mb

[hardy cypress]

Its joever.

[past hound]

I made $16/hr as a TA, it was better than nothing I guess

[hardy cypress]

Yeah, some money is better than no money

It should be a federal law that jobs have to let you know of the decision but then again idk if i could take a 30 rejections kill streak

https://tenor.com/view/zoro-pain-one-piece-kuma-paw-paw-fruit-gif-20611761

[tardy geode]

no i don't get paid by hours but thats how the rough estimate i get each 2 weeks

[past hound]

I am ok with them taking forever, I am not ok with them taking away offers.

[tardy geode]

its just survival money tbh

yeah , i am just surving

each week feels like winning

and each sunday i get a thought will the coming week be my last

its that unstable and FUCKED

[hardy cypress]

I think had it not been for my parents I'd be homeless rn lol

[frosty gale]

this job market is making me think that maybe a career change into tech is a bad move and I should stay in actuarial

[past hound]

Yea, this was the worst time to make a career change lol.

[frosty gale]

I'll be making less money but I dont have to worry about doing LC and PIP culture

[hardy cypress]

Nothing lasts forever, not even the bad times, right guys?

[past hound]

Things will get better

eventually

key word: eventually

[frosty gale]

fr

I already make 120K

maybe im just being greedy

[past hound]

Sounds like a good job imo

If the WLB is great and low risk of PIP

[frosty gale]

the salary doesn't scale that much compared to tech, the main reason why I wanted to switch my career

but the job security is way better. No PIP, no layoffs (very rare)

and yeah good WLB

[past hound]

I mean, yea, less risk = less reward usually

HCOL?

[frosty gale]

yeah

3 yoe

[past hound]

Ah, I see.

[frosty gale]

I did two swe internships this year and came back to actuarial for the time being cuz I can't stay unemployed

no return offers cuz headcounts

i really thought two internships would be good enough for a NG but I was wrong lol

[pine topaz]

Dang, I remember people were saying 2 internships were already good or above average during the good times

is 6 the standard now

[past hound]

In a normal market, you would have a return offer.

regardless

[pine topaz]

hi @vital meteor

[vital meteor]

we will all laugh about this in 2-3 years in our penthouse suites

[tardy geode]

i have cursed my manager so many times

[vital meteor]

[past hound]

I fully expect I wouldn't be employed for another year

[frosty gale]

I'll keep applying to jobs regardless and do LC but thinks are looking bleak

[past hound]

Which is gonna suck because I already graduated

[frosty gale]

might consider transitioning into DS roles in my current company

[tardy geode]

i wake up at 4 , go to work at 8 then sleep at 1am only in the hopes that i will get a job that i want

its painful

[vital meteor]

you never know, you just need 1 opportunity

[tardy geode]

but hope its worth it

[hardy cypress]

You Will get it! Hang in there!!

[tardy geode]

plus dealing with sweatshop bs

which is another stress on top of that

[past hound]

Such a mood.

[frosty gale]

@tardy geode where u working rn

[past hound]

My entire day is literally job grind

[tardy geode]

how is this mood

[past hound]

It is not a good mood. It is still a mood.

[tardy geode]

a sweatshop run by a 70 year old dumbfuck

[past hound]

I am suffering

[hardy cypress]

I didnt think the sweatshop part was real

[past hound]

I think there is a chance I will get something in the next few months

[frosty gale]

I work 9-5, apply to NG jobs and do LC, rinse and repeat

[past hound]

But, like

[tardy geode]

bro you wouldn't last even a week here unless you have external factors like visa and shit . like if there was an example of "How to exploit employees 101" this sweatshop is perfect for it

[past hound]

0 interviews doesn't give me long-term hope.

[hardy cypress]

I reckon at some point you'd stop feeling human

[hardy cypress]

Same boat here, Just rejections

[frosty gale]

My wife and my dog keep me sane

lol

[tardy geode]

also bro(ceo) is racist af , only hires south asians so that he can exploit them

[frosty gale]

and play a game or two of league

[tardy geode]

says south asians are dumb as fuck , no quality

i have heard him say this

[past hound]

I am basically trapped at my parent's place 24/7. It is like COVID, but there is no lockdown.

[tardy geode]

he himself is one

[hardy cypress]

Bruh that CEO does not give a fuck

[tardy geode]

but since he came in the 70's , is now a citizen

[hardy cypress]

Legit super villain shit

[tardy geode]

bro told me to put ip tracking stuff in all the applications 💀 , thats straight up invasion of privacy unless you have GDPR compliance shit

[past hound]

No car, live in the middle of nowhere so it isn't like I can walk to to places

[tardy geode]

[obsidian crater]

I know Dart and Javascript and Python have them, but why would you hate Java for that

Java i did but only a bit just for like a few months

then even for LC i used Python

[raven warren]

Intilij really is game changer
After using it for work for 3 months it’s hard to go back to vscode

[cold pawn]

I went from using only vscode all the time to using only intellij lol

[vapid oasis]

whats better about Intilij

[raven warren]

It just feels a lot more complete.

[vapid oasis]

oh ok

Banks like being frugal. No laptops, no free food. Minimal benefits (relative to tech). If you have a problem with it, there's always someone to replace to you.

[grizzled bronze]

JPM gives Macbooks, not all banks are like Citi

[ornate cliff]

I don't and they absolutely do not look them up 🤣

[ornate cliff]

Goldman gives ThinkPads

[brave forge]

i have an interview with a bank this week any tips

they say they want java/C# IDK THOSE LANGUAGES well

[cold pawn]

which bank

[brave forge]

commerce bank

[ornate cliff]

Start doing leetcode easy in java

Good luck soldier

[brave forge]

kinda feel doomed before i even start

i need this job though it feels like nobodies interviewing this is like the first interview ive ever got for new-grad level

[grizzled bronze]

did you search Glassdoor and sort by recent

[brave forge]

ya not much there

doesn't seem like a hard process

i really just want to learn more about the job in the first round phone

[grizzled bronze]

your recruiter should be able to tell you

usually it's screening/behavioral

[ornate cliff]

I would LC easy/mediums and prep for some OOP quiz

that's typical

[gleaming trellis]

If you don’t know those languages well it’s gonna be hard

[obsidian crater]

Saddest birthday of my life 🥹

Only thought of roping all day because no job

[vital meteor]

Happy birthday

[brave forge]

Maybe it’s not for me I’ll have to see. They literally pay 34/hr so idk how much they expect

[tardy geode]

Happy birthday bro

[brave forge]

34/hr and solve 3 leetcode hards Ty

[frosty gale]

FAANG needs to open up again and take you cracked mfers

[swift falcon]

amen

[frosty gale]

leave some jobs for ex-F500ers like me

[swift falcon]

[tardy geode]

[tardy geode]

2024 please be good

[obsidian crater]

I just took a hit

Maybe life will be ok for a few hours

[past hound]

weed?

[forest elk]

I just accepted this isn't my year

[lime pollen]

This isn't my life

[solemn spire]

From “if you dont do good you will end up like him” to being him.

Im him

[obsidian crater]

yes

[past hound]

nice

[obsidian crater]

trying not to break down into tears

[river thorn]

get therapy

[past hound]

therapy isn't cheap

you need a job first

[marble ivy]

JPM does not give macbooks

I literally have a JPM offer

And i asked the recruiter and they said they also only use virtual machines

[obsidian crater]

therapy is useless

I've seen a few

I guess it works for some

[forest elk]

just go gym

and sleep well

works sometimes

[rain patio]

bro i need nitro ong

[solemn spire]

Only god can save me

[sturdy forge]

Happy birthday man

Proud of you for making it this far

[obsidian crater]

I am lol

Today is worse

[rain patio]

a good therapist can rly give u perspective

but most therapists just aren't good

[sturdy forge]

Gotta find one you vibe with

[obsidian crater]

I think the problem with therapy is that it can't change how you feel, only how you react to things, and sometimes that isn't enough

[sturdy forge]

It’s kind of huge

[obsidian crater]

😕

MD = doctor = psychiatrist

Not therapist

[rain patio]

yeah if u have the money psyd and phd therapists are noticeably better

like not even on the same level

[obsidian crater]

true

I think there was a massive shortage of them though

[rain patio]

even ms degree holders are fully booked

[obsidian crater]

Like my insurance covered 100% but all of them would be booked out for 3-4 months, and they would only have one or so appointments every few weeks.

[rain patio]

psych self-help books are kinda helpful too btw

not the dumbass sigma shit written by some grifter

but like concrete evidence-based advice

if there arent sources at the end of the book its not worth reading

[grizzled bronze]

that must be team dependent then, because I know some people who got a Mac there

@fossil jewel are you using a Mac at JPM

[pine topaz]

Happy birthday @obsidian crater ! stay strong brother, wagmi

[obsidian crater]

thanks

[tardy geode]

@obsidian crater you may 2023 grad ?

[obsidian crater]

yeah

[fossil jewel]

some teams use mac

i can probably request a mac but it’s a hassle to configure it seems

so custom windows it is

[obsidian crater]

dev on windows

[tardy geode]

use Linux

sad cat emote is gone wtf

[fossil jewel]

yeah they’ve configured it enough with some internal wsl type shell

[obsidian crater]

It still sucks

Compared to Linux or Mac

[fossil jewel]

yeah

i agree

i’m too used to mac for my coding

[ornate cliff]

windows is cancer

[fossil jewel]

i used to use windows before getting a mac

it got me by

but i had a linux dual boot

[marble ivy]

is it on VDI?

[fossil jewel]

ye

[marble ivy]

is it laggy?

i’ve heard cisco is better

[ornate cliff]

Cisco was a nightmare

it was the opposite, we had mac and we were working on a windows app

developing .NET on a VM

LMAOOOOOOO literal aids

[fossil jewel]

nope works really good

only laggy if your internet sucks

[past hound]

VMware is complete garbage. Best setup is Linux + QEMU + KVM. You can get basically near native preformance in games, so I would imagine everything else is just as good.

[marble ivy]

does it feel native?

like can u move around windows and drag stuff around and close open tabs rly quickly

[fossil jewel]

yep

[past hound]

Looking Glass makes it so you don't need to plug in a monitor (if on laptop).

[fossil jewel]

also apparently scales with monitor sizes for ultra wide but i don’t use that

i use two 24” monitors

[fossil jewel]

sadly it’s what companies use

[past hound]

Unfortunately. It is such a bad solution.

[fossil jewel]

esp for banks anything outside of that is restricted

it’s bc they have regulations so that sensitive data doesn’t get out

[past hound]

Remote?

If remote, then yea, nothing you can do about that.

Remote desktops are always slow

But, you don't really need that if you do everything in the terminal.

VIM maxxing

with ssh

No desktop needed

Just ssh

plenty of terminal only debuggers as well

[fossil jewel]

yeah i do use citrix

but it works fine tbh

my issues only come up when my internet is bad

but that’s a given duh

hmmm just a minute or two while everything starts up for me

[marble ivy]

even in office it takes like 10 min

[fossil jewel]

if i do a hard restart it’s like 10-15 minutes

[marble ivy]

U use vdi in office too right

[fossil jewel]

sometimes i do get a log in issue but usually due to me messing up the token

[fossil jewel]

yeah

lowkey the worst part is that you don’t technically have a seat

it’s like a wework space

[marble ivy]

ok see that’s the dumb part that i don’t get right like they pay for every desk there to have a desktop for u to login to ur vdi

why not just give everyone a laptop

And then they can connect their laptop to the monitors there

[past hound]

forgot your laptop?

[fossil jewel]

i think people get macs if they’re on a webdev team

and mobile

but i did get a stipend to get a wfh device

[marble ivy]

R u backend

[fossil jewel]

ye

data engineering /backend

[marble ivy]

ye my jpm offer was also a backend team

[marble ivy]

ye 1100 i saw

i’d rather get a laptop tho

[fossil jewel]

they lowballed you tho

right?

[marble ivy]

R u nyc

[fossil jewel]

ye

[marble ivy]

i got the nyc offer but without the sign on

[fossil jewel]

oh

[marble ivy]

so 110k base

no sign on

[fossil jewel]

for swe 1

[marble ivy]

yeah

[fossil jewel]

crazy

[marble ivy]

r u swe 1

[fossil jewel]

ye

[marble ivy]

is the nyc office the hudson yards one

[fossil jewel]

well i can’t doxx the office but they have multiple nyc offices

[marble ivy]

they only have three in nyc, the park ave, hudson yards, and brooklyn one

[fossil jewel]

madison too afaik

[marble ivy]

park ave is mostly finance ppl i heard

madison is park ave

[fossil jewel]

nah there’s a few around the block

two park ones i think

[marble ivy]

o wat

[fossil jewel]

then there’s NJ

[marble ivy]

yeah i wish i got that one

cuz i’m in NJ

[fossil jewel]

which has more tech roles

[marble ivy]

r u JC?

[fossil jewel]

nope

[marble ivy]

rip

[fossil jewel]

interned in JC

[marble ivy]

was ur sign on 20k

[fossil jewel]

yep

[marble ivy]

that’s crazy bruh why didn’t i get that so dumb

How does year 2 work then

[fossil jewel]

how were u hired

[marble ivy]

Do u make less the second year

[fossil jewel]

regular processs?

[marble ivy]

i just applied to sep yeah

but i wasn’t an intern

[fossil jewel]

even non interns got sign on

[marble ivy]

i applied to a sep cohort

[fossil jewel]

i think it’s bc you were 0yoe

[marble ivy]

i have 1.5 yoe

[fossil jewel]

raise + perf bonus

[marble ivy]

U get a raise ur second year in??

[fossil jewel]

ye

[marble ivy]

did u already get it

[fossil jewel]

i get in feb

[marble ivy]

to 130k base?

[fossil jewel]

perf reviews and eoy evals coming up

[marble ivy]

oh so u joined feb 2023

[fossil jewel]

i think 130k base comes when you get promo to swe 2 after 2 years

[fossil jewel]

yep

[marble ivy]

how do u get 140k tc ur second year then if u don’t get the 20k sign on

[fossil jewel]

they apparently work it up to 130k base

[marble ivy]

Cuz ik perf first year is like 10k

[fossil jewel]

ye, and raise could be something like 5k to 15k

i think

[marble ivy]

wtf so should i have taken JP

idc if i don’t get a bonus for one year if it’s gonna go up the second year to around 140k

[fossil jewel]

it’s def the second most modern after c1

there’s a lot of modernizing

[marble ivy]

well clearly not that much cuz not everyone gets a macbook lolol

[fossil jewel]

the perks are cool, i get some discounts on a lot of things

[fossil jewel]

eh

[marble ivy]

is there a backdoor roth

[fossil jewel]

unfortunate but i’m not dying over it

[fossil jewel]

i haven’t explored tbh

i’m just doing normal 401k

[marble ivy]

does the nyc office have a gym

[fossil jewel]

one of them

[marble ivy]

and do u get like a discount on njtransit

[fossil jewel]

idk

im not NJ

one of the boroughs

[marble ivy]

ah ic

is there a discount on mta then

[fossil jewel]

there’s a commuter card benefit which ik helps reduce tax

[marble ivy]

o edenred?

[fossil jewel]

but no mta discount

i think they give you a card and you use it to get a metro card

or you can get a metro card directly

still doesn’t work with OMNY

[marble ivy]

that’s interesting but still out of ur pocket right

[fossil jewel]

ye

[marble ivy]

rip

[fossil jewel]

aws gave macs im guessing?

neat

[marble ivy]

and in office u just plugged in ur mac to the dock

and it would charge it and power the two monitors

[fossil jewel]

yeah the mac people in my office have docks

not all desks have them

[nova rune]

Not in Education, Employment, or Training.

NEET for short

Basically unemployed

but not in school

[halcyon tartan]

Nopes got a reject

[sturdy forge]

[smoky portal]

Wilmington

[past hound]

Applied like a month ago, did the OA, and haven't heard shit back.

Perfect OA

[smoky portal]

Yeah same I did the oa end of July and still nothing. Thank god I’m not the only one

[past hound]

better than reject I guess

[smoky portal]

My oa was close the perfect I missed like 2 tests

[night marsh]

Lol I just saw this after posting abt it in #2024_grads

Got reject. Local branch, got past resume screen past year and year before for intern.

There may have been a cooldown period tho as I applied to SWE I about 3 months prior. I do have family who works there as well so it may be another reason

[smoky portal]

Thanks for the insight

[night marsh]

np

[unreal rampart]

[vapid oasis]

what company did u get the phone call from

[rotund portal]

epic

[rotund portal]

i just cleaned up and ran to my room and accepted the call lol

[proper hull]

what should soemone expect in a phone screening? I've never done one of those before. Only either assessments, OA or straight to interviews

[grizzled bronze]

you can ask your recruiter and search up glassdoor interviews

typically it's just behavioral

they may ask some technical screening questions too

[rain patio]

Good morning

[past hound]

Phone with Epic is just behavioral with a engineer.

[rain patio]

We move

[tacit grove]

Is linkedin dry again today guys?

@tardy geode

Thank you!

[tardy geode]

i mean even for money you wouldn't come here , there is no swe work . if you don't care about your career path and just want to earn and make bank then yeah this is the place BUT be advised this is like a sweatshop and you will be trapped forever here

I rn just need to find something to stop my clock

[tardy geode]

[vapid oasis]

when did u apply

worthless recruiter call

"I hab sum contract roles 6-8mo" Hellnaw

let me just go from one salaried role to the exact same work, but instead I have to find a job in 6-8 months

Which you will

[marble ivy]

premium is free anyways

[swift falcon]

linkedin be like

https://tenor.com/view/math-calculate-confusing-figure-out-gif-6237717

what if I were to drive to the HQ of the place I wanted to work and just be like, I'm here to interview, no appointment, I want to you to hire me so I can work here

is this just the right amount of gumption? is it the logical next step in escalation to adding 600+ swes on linkedin and then crying about it?

Email them they're sometimes responsive

[rain patio]

So like ive been getting more random phond calls since ive started applying. Are these just spam calls or are they potentially companies ive applied to reaching out? Bc as of now ive only been looking for emails, but idk if ive been missing out on anything by not picking up

[swift falcon]

probably ppl calling you

:S

[rain patio]

Bruh fr????

Do they not all just email??

[swift falcon]

yes, tbh I pick up everything

even if it was spam it's worth the 2 seconds to make sure I don't miss any calls

[rain patio]

Bruhhhh

Has it ever been a company?

Or has it just been spam calls

They fr just cold call with no email indication?

[swift falcon]

is it really a cold call if you provided your phone number on an application?

[rain patio]

I mean…i expect an email to set up a call

[swift falcon]

🤷‍♂️

idk

[rain patio]

Not just calling outta nowhere

Damn

[swift falcon]

I've had both

[rain patio]

💀

Well that sucks

[swift falcon]

honestly if it's someone you don't want to talk to just hang up lol

[rain patio]

What do they usually talk about in these calls? They just do a phone screening on the spot or something?

[swift falcon]

yes, or set sth up

[rain patio]

I feel so dumb

[tardy geode]

holy shit i got lyft phone , man i am figuring out how to prep ...LC has only 24 tagged . Has anyone here got Lyft phone interview ? (its not new grad)

[jade seal]

holyy shittt dude godspeed, i dont have an answer sadly but start practicing a bunch of behaviorals in the meantime

[tardy geode]

when i saw the email i got teary eyed a bit that finally my resume worked somewhere

now i am gonna prep tf out but i am figuring out how to

i am kinda passively panicked

[pine topaz]

UR TIME HAS COME

sweatshopt -> lyft pipeline

[marble ivy]

they made u write sql queries and do some systems stuff with C too

[fallen fox]

which role did you apply to?

[marble ivy]

same one

[fallen fox]

mine had 2 lc easies

[marble ivy]

rng

[fallen fox]

it was for the sales? role

[marble ivy]

Ya

[autumn iris]

Mine were easies

Literally select X from Y

[unreal rampart]

What questions😭

[autumn iris]

It was literally an easy select statement

[unreal rampart]

How about the coding

[autumn iris]

easy

Like two sums level easy

[unreal rampart]

😎

[autumn iris]

But then again i prob got lucky

[delicate lantern]

I tried looking for their email do you happen to know where I could look or anything?

[tardy geode]

man i am so desperate at this point

[oblique harbor]

I have an interview with a company next week (first one, yay!). 30 minutes behavioral, 15 minutes live coding on hackerrank with react/node. Does anyone here know of any resources where I can practice react.js/node.js questions that are typically asked in hackerrank? I want to be prepared.

[tardy geode]

[autumn iris]

15mins is kinda short

It has to be an easy

[tardy geode]

i kinda suck at LC man , but i am gonna give my 100% prep tf out

[autumn iris]

[tardy geode]

idgaf about sweatshop , today the ceo abused me verbally

man takes my visa situation as an advantage

[obsidian crater]

Did anyone get hired by color?

[fossil jewel]

u been stressed for over a year homie

GLLLLLLL

[dense swan]

im praying for you

[oblique harbor]

It's going to be very basic. They probably won't ask anything hard, just want to make sure I actually know react/node syntax. I won't be asked to create a web app and if I do, it might be something simple like a to-do list.

I just want to know if there is a database of sorts with react/node questions that typically get asked on Hackerrank, so I can go through the easier ones that can be solved in 15 mins.

[tardy geode]

ik man

[tardy geode]

i am nervous af but i am positive that i will make it

i need someone to tell me if this observation is correct

is this company named "WILEY EDGE" just another REVATURE?

[ornate cliff]

string parsing an annoying input into some meaningful structure like json

hard to prep

and time crunch

[oblique harbor]

found a github repo that has what I am looking for https://github.com/hackerrank-test/hackerrank-react-test

yea I have a lot of experience with react and node so not gonna stress too much

[ornate cliff]

dude LET'S FUCKING GO

[ornate cliff]

lol two LC easy... thank you to the RNG gods

[tardy geode]

ty mate ty

[tardy geode]

[ornate cliff]

my advice is make time for mock interviews

pramp, interviewing.io

just to work through the face to face nerves

[wet jacinth]

Good Luck!

[tardy geode]

i think one of em has a free mock interview

[ornate cliff]

do you have a blind account? message lyft people and ask about the process

[tardy geode]

yea

oh okie

[ornate cliff]

blind people are sometimes super helpful

sometimes

[tardy geode]

i had got a GOOG referral once from there but then they had layoffs my recruiter got laid off

[ornate cliff]

maybe they shouldn't spend all day filming day in the life tiktoks
