guyz how do i go from noob to pro in lc in 1 week ty

LC 10 hours a day nonstop

#

if you truely have only one week, it is the only chance to cram in some LC skills

Bruh i hate windows 11

brave forge
#

i dont have one week i have forever KEKWcry

rain patio
#

IDk what they did, but one of their updates MASSIVELY slowed down my SSD. Like by a factor of 10 or more

brave forge
#

but i want to be good :waz:

rain patio
#

It's weird because if I use the command prompt to run that SSD speed test, my SSD has like 3000 MB/s speeds

#

But when I tried to unzip a 20 MB file, it takes 10 seconds

#

wtf is windows doing

past hound
#

Install Linux

brave forge
#

yes

rain patio
#

I would, but linux isn't compatible with a lot of video games, unless that's not an issue anymore?

#

Like I wanna play Payday 3 and stuff

past hound
#

VM is also a option if you have two gpus

rain patio
#

What about games that require you to use their anti cheat, like Easy Anti Cheat

past hound
#

Yea, that is the one downside. Some game work with both with anti-cheat, some don't. You can always just dual boot for those games.

rain patio
#

Hmm ok

#

Is linux good against viruses and stuff? I know Window's built in antivirus works pretty well, but honestly it might be the thing slowing down my computer lol

past hound
#

Assuming you install everything through the package manager, you should have no problems.

#

Although, some packages in AUR can be malware, it is really rare. You should always research what packages you install anyway.

rain patio
#

cool!

#

Now that I'm kind of forced to use linux because of my job, I actually kind of like it

#

it's just so fast

swift falcon
#

bro u don't game on linux

getting it to work is the game

Highly recommend Arch if you are gonna install Linux

past hound
#

I used to run Gentoo, but switched to Arch because compiling my own packages with use flags was a pain.

shrewd ocean
#

have u tried manjaro?

past hound
#

Arch is honestly more stable than Ubuntu if you upgrade frequently

swift falcon
shrewd ocean
past hound
#

The install process isn't that long

#

anyway

#

with terminal

do u check ur email via terminal?

Anyone think of making a fake company to fake work experience. LOL.

swift falcon

heavy reef
#

Wait, but anyone actually do it.

#

I guess I could register a fake company.

swift falcon
brave forge
#

they never even verify imo

#

it could all be made up

swift falcon
#

someone just has to do it imo

maybe in background check that's something they look at. I don't even get background checked at my jobs

#

well his ego is too big to claim that

#

he told see i don’t have much work for you and i am a small business shit etc etc

#

my uni doesn’t have much of research sadly

I find it hard to get professors to let me do research

i need advice fellas , y’all can chip in too

#

also lets say he keeps me unpaid (i don’t do actual work tho just to stop my clock) so will i have to update something in my sevp portal and do i have to inform my dso

bold pier
swift falcon
#

you got laid off, as in the company isn't making money and can't afford to pay you?

tardy geode
#

company doesn’t have much work for me so he had to let me go he was saying

swift falcon
#

oh ig that doesn't even matter because it's not like you could collect unemployment right?

#

because you're international?

tardy geode
#

and on resume i don’t mention sde intern just sde at sweatshop (start and end date)

#

end date would be oct 1

bold pier
tardy geode
#

i don’t have a direct contact with my iso , and its all on email idk how long they take to reply .

#

first i am trying to ask bro if he could keep me on payroll until nov 1

#

if not then i will ask him to atleast keep me on payroll until 23rd oct

bold pier
#

Just send an email asap. You can update Sevp up to 10 days after the change so you got time.

tardy geode
#

its like just to confirm these things it would take time , like talking to lawyers dso etc

tardy geode
bold pier
tardy geode
#

oh okay

tardy geode
#

@bold pier

swift falcon
#

it wants all the tech people it laid off to come back and work as seasonal warehouse employees?

tardy geode
# bold pier For profit

oh okay , idk why i asked elsewhere people be like yo being unpaid and doing work is illegal(on the employer side)

#

i don’t get their point tbh

#

and do you work 40 hours a week? @bold pier or like 20-25?

swift falcon
#

Under the FLSA, employees may not volunteer services to for-profit private sector employers. On the other hand, in the vast majority of circumstances, individuals can volunteer services to public sector employers.

#

unless there's a broader context that I don't understand

autumn jolt

is internship different than volunteering though?

#

also is uni for-profit?

I'm gonna have to go to Revature at this point huh

Leetcode till my eyes bleed? Work on my presentation skills for behavioral interviews?

this is from four years ago when I search career fair in my unis subreddit

ornate cliff
#

W

rain patio
#

guess I gotta milk my college's network dry

night marsh
#

I went to career fair this past Friday, got hit with an "apply on website" since there were a massive amount of students who showed up

#

(also a lot of linecutters, this isn't elementary school anymore)

swift falcon
#

bro pls don't say that

#

i'm going to flip

rain patio
#

where do you guys find career fairs? theres like nothing in my area

swift falcon
#

my uni

rain patio
#

nows as good a time to flip as any

swift falcon
#

I was an idiot and didn't go to last years

#

smh

rain patio
#

my liberal arts school barely had anything tech related

swift falcon
#

we have our own 'tech day' career fair

rain patio
#

it was all 15/hr nonprofit stuff

swift falcon
#

so I'm hoping that means it's not as packed

rain patio
#

alright at this point I'm considering just looking for a finance job with my Econ major

night marsh
# swift falcon bro pls don't say that

ymmv. Usually career fairs are super helpful; this year mine wasn't as much. I showed up 2 hours before it started and there was a sizable line ahead of me

swift falcon
#

but if what @night marsh said is true, I am not optimistic about having to compete with a bunch of undergrads and grad students and probably a tone of alumni too

night marsh
#

It all depends what school you go to @swift falcon

swift falcon
night marsh
#

My school experience isn't indicative of other career fairs. Just that my school career fair was only accepting applicants through website when we got to the front/talked to a recruiter

#

internships were fs more ubiquitous though

swift falcon
#

I assume normally you go in with a stack of resumes and a 30-45second stump speech right?

swift falcon
night marsh
rain patio
#

mass applying really doesn't work huh

night marsh
#

I think about 1/5 of them were ng

swift falcon
#

what that means? idk

night marsh
#

That sounds very promising

swift falcon
vapid oasis
#

New grad I think

night marsh
#

Ye

swift falcon
#

oh like, only 10 companies were looking for people to hire vs internships?

rain patio
#

time to work for a startup for free huh

night marsh
#

Yes.

swift falcon
#

the thing I'm worried about is that there will be a ton of non-local companies that will have jobs, but I can't move to, but then again maybe they'll have remote idk

night marsh
#

And most of those were "apply through website" rather than schedule for interviews

swift falcon
#

man that is a total waste of time

#

like so unprofessional

night marsh
#

mm hmm

#

CapOne was supposed to come but it was a no-show

sturdy forge
swift falcon
#

like I don't know about you, but I have a regular 8-4 job/career alr, I got a family and lots of other responsibilities. If some company is just going to tell me to apply online to some non-existent shit after I took PTO, I'd be pissed

rain patio
#

I'm starting a full-time call center job next month. I feel like I'm gonna sink deeper and deeper with no xp and shitty jobs.

night marsh
#

Yeah, rightfully so. It's very annoying

#

That being said you do have a lot of companies, and once again, my career fair != yours. So it may be different

swift falcon
#

yeah I hope so, hopefully friday morning I post some happy shit here

Understand why the solution works for each particular problem.

rain patio
#

Just do all the leetcode easies first. Then do all the mediums. Then do all the hards! Ez pz

#

Rumor has it that you are visited by the ghost of a historic figure from the field of CS once you've finished every leetcode problem. They'll lead you to buried treasure or some forgotten technology that you can patent and sell for millions

#

Techie would know more about this stuff

whole roost
#

Good mix of easies/mediums, some hards

#

^you could also work through each of these patterns, the problems in each pattern build on one another

#

If you're having trouble solving easies you need to review your data structures knowledge + basic algos

swift falcon
#

when we say “having trouble solving easies” are we talking abt the brute force solution or the optimized one?

Optimized imo

rich prairie
#

TLDR

#

dont qualify for upcoming grad role because im not in school anymore
fair
"if you have a degree and experience, check for jobs here"

#

so i dont qualify for this job because i graduated

#

and i dont qualify for other jobs because i have no experience

rain patio
#

bruh moment

#

literally all of us are in the same boat

rich prairie
#

and i dont qualify for the early career jobs because i am simply bad i guess and i get reject filtered

tardy geode
#

idk if i should lose hopes and cry all day

rich prairie
#

so i guess ill go fuck myself

#

i still have 3 open early career apps for LM

#

will wait for rejects

if u had money to pay for uni, you went to uni, WHY do you switch to CS after uni?

ive met ppl like that irl, and somehow they still get better jobs then me.

like my intern hired this bio major and rejected me lol
