it is just so joe ver
Why did you get laid off?
that's fine databricks did something similar
well he had no work for me but he told me he can keep me as a volunteer
this sounds illegal
boom roasted
i agree
ye bruh wtf
Posted 11:15:01 PM. About UsAt Cloudflare, we have our eyes set on an ambitious goal: to help build a better Internet…See this and similar jobs on LinkedIn.
for my 2023 grads
LMAO
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
u don't 
Bruh i hate windows 11
i dont have one week i have forever 
IDk what they did, but one of their updates MASSIVELY slowed down my SSD. Like by a factor of 10 or more
but i want to be good :waz:
skill issue
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
Install Linux
yes
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
Proton
VM is also a option if you have two gpus
What about games that require you to use their anti cheat, like Easy Anti Cheat
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.
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
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.
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
whats AUR?
australian user repository
i use arch btw
Highly recommend Arch if you are gonna install Linux
are u an arch user??
maybe once the offer comes in ill try arch 
I used to run Gentoo, but switched to Arch because compiling my own packages with use flags was a pain.
have u tried manjaro?
Arch is honestly more stable than Ubuntu if you upgrade frequently
no
same
I prefer plain Arch, since I tend to use features that aren't supported by mainstream installers.
The install process isn't that long
anyway
with terminal
like what features? what do arch users actually user arch for?
do u check ur email via terminal?
it takes about 15 minutes but yeah
Bleeding edge packages that are actually stable.
I also use zfs
Anyone think of making a fake company to fake work experience. LOL.
bro we had that idea months ago
we looked into it and idk
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
I have a background in law, LOL, it can be done, but idk, maybe I'm just desperate. I can build fullstack apps, doesn't matter if my resume don't get seen.
omg ur the missing piece
https://reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/s/txxmhwNu6B
ain’t no way the final round for adobe through ghc is a 15 min technical and a 30 min behavioral
45 min for a 175k offer is crazy
fr
They're probably having a lot of final rounds if its that short, so OP's odds are actually worse than if it were a regular final round interview
could be wrong
It will take me 15 mins to understand the question
whats GHC
The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC) is a series of conferences designed to bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. It is the world's largest gathering of women in computing. The celebration, named after computer scientist Grace Hopper, is organized by the Anita Borg Institute for Women...
is this for ng or intern
ng
damn I’m going to GHC where’s my 15min final
i am still unable to process
i feel numb and confused
have i ruined my life already?
how is that illegal? people do unpaid work right?
can u be on a visa for unpaid work?
i dont think voulenteering as a swe is something u can get a visa for but im not an expert
ye do this
I am on F1 OPT and unpaid work is fine on OPT . on STEM OPT you can’t be . I have 6 months for stem opt
idk a lawyer and i cannot afford lawyer fees tbh
oh ig thats fine then, hope u find something better tho 🙏
It's not illegal the first year
so i would have to get a letter from him stating i am volunteering or what it should have exactly?
i mean i was working ft here then i am working unpaid , would that be sus to uscis or is it okay?
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
Unless you have worked with them before, usually hard
I've emailed a few but they ghost me so yeah
like as ta or whatever
indeed
Wagmi
You're allowed to work as unpaid intern or volunteer on F1 OPT, I'm doing unpaid internship at a startup to pause my OPT rn
You may want to report it again though
oh so on the sevp portal do you report it as full time or part time?
anuther day nother doller
rise and grind boyz and galz 
i stg linkedin needs to implement a 'block company' feature
revature and pattern ai need to be blocked
How does GHC work? Is it online or in person
And do u have to pay that $1500 fee
yeah that or ur school /club sponsors for you
there’s a virtual one and an in person one
Full time. I don't report directly on sevp portal, I do in university portal
Yea there’s both I’m going in person though
you're a women right?
Yea I’m girlypop
Don't skull react I'm not a creep wtf
how did you find an unpaid internship
where do they even post it
I'm trying to find one
I found one where the guy wants people to pay 50$
for open ai tokens
I met the founder at some random event. It's a very small startup, I just have a job I don't even work.
how does that work?
Wrote the offer letter myself, made him sign it, submitted to SEVP. Now I'm chillin coz they didn't want a CS guy anyway 
bruh
so are you still looking for a full time role?
I found one, starting next week
$300
okay
$500
that's me
Ok fine, since you are grill I'll charge half of first paycheck
deal 🔥
i am requesting bro to keep me on payroll atleast till 1st nov so that i can figure things out . Post that idk what i should do to stop the clock . should i ask him to keep me unpaid and on paper . OR just look for some other volunteer opportunity
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
Do both, ask for new offer letter with title as intern and mentioned unpaid. Update Sevp with the new title
In the meanwhile look for some other work if possible
you got laid off, as in the company isn't making money and can't afford to pay you?
company doesn’t have much work for me so he had to let me go he was saying
oh ig that doesn't even matter because it's not like you could collect unemployment right?
because you're international?
will that be okay? like rn i have mentioned sde on sevp for sweatshop. then new entry would be sde intern fulltime for sweatshop . Will that be okay?
and on resume i don’t mention sde intern just sde at sweatshop (start and end date)
end date would be oct 1
Yes should be okay. You can always consult a lawyer or your university international student dept to confirm.
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
Just send an email asap. You can update Sevp up to 10 days after the change so you got time.
its like just to confirm these things it would take time , like talking to lawyers dso etc
oh so basically i will have until 11th oct ? like my unemployment days would start then?
No, your unemployment starts on last date of your job. But you can update last date up to 10 days later on Sevp portal. Or any change for that matter.
bro says my clock would start from oct 1
oh okay

by the way the compay where you work at as an unpaid intern is it for profit or non profit?
@bold pier
For profit
it wants all the tech people it laid off to come back and work as seasonal warehouse employees?
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?
it is illegal?
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
Nope it's not illegal at least when we are on F1 OPT, I'm doing unpaid volunteering (internship) too from my University and it's totally fine
It doesn't matter as long as we are doing something in our field of study
oh ok and that is particulary OPT people?
Yes
gotcha
why is everyoen dooming on cscareerquesitons
what did I miss today

now we have to play the resume optimization game ffs
because that reflects on your problem solving skills!!!
search 'Software Engineer NOT Revature NOT PatternAI'
still shows up in ads tho
like the recc'd jobs
@autumn jolt how'd you get that position, also just gotta upload the offer letter to the portal?
NOT L3Harris Technologies
Patterned AI is a datamining scheme
I'm unsure why they're still allowed to post their listings
I've reported them
a load of good that does
I'm gonna have to go to Revature at this point huh
I wonder if there is a way to bypass the training
but then what, you're just on hold until they find you a position? 
i mean at this rate I have more experience applying to jobs than I do working a job 
you're a Professional Applicant
Whats wrong with them? I mean when I see a job posting reposted recently with over 100 applicants I just dont even apply
they post the same job in like 100 different cities and flood search results
I approached my department and they readily offered me an unpaid internship. As for SEVP portal, we don't have to upload an offer letter if I am not wrong but rather fill out some information like our position, organization, details of work etc
mad annoying
yeah Epic too huh
at this point I don't search outside of my city
and I do onsite/hybrid
and posted within last 24h
you get like 24 results and like maybe 1 'relevant' job, and then its usually a senior position haha
Still unemployed btw
Yeah I don't know what I'm doing
all my homies hate leetcode
Currently working on trying to get it to other browsers, will let you know when that happens
In the extension leave some reviews and joke comments like "This extension got me a job at google or something"
Link to the extension: It actually got approved LMAO https:/...
ill literally work anywhere in the US for $50,000 if its average cost of living and like $65-70,000 if its HCOL
I'm actually going insane. Do I just make small projects tailored to a job description, throw that shit on my resume and apply?
Leetcode till my eyes bleed? Work on my presentation skills for behavioral interviews?
if your resume is bad then maybe, otherwise I would LCmaxx
You getting interviews?
Very few, it was clear they didn't want me
I only got them because of referrals
A few? In this economy?
W
guess I gotta milk my college's network dry
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)
where do you guys find career fairs? theres like nothing in my area
my uni
nows as good a time to flip as any
my liberal arts school barely had anything tech related
we have our own 'tech day' career fair
it was all 15/hr nonprofit stuff
so I'm hoping that means it's not as packed
alright at this point I'm considering just looking for a finance job with my Econ major
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
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
It all depends what school you go to @swift falcon
ffs I am going to have to take the day off
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
I assume normally you go in with a stack of resumes and a 30-45second stump speech right?
how many businesses were there?
40-50
mass applying really doesn't work huh
I think about 1/5 of them were ng
supposedly there are like 200+ going to mine
what that means? idk
That sounds very promising
wdym ng?
New grad I think
oh like, only 10 companies were looking for people to hire vs internships?
time to work for a startup for free huh
Yes.
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
And most of those were "apply through website" rather than schedule for interviews
fun vid
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
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.
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
yeah I hope so, hopefully friday morning I post some happy shit here
good luck bro you got it
Good luck dude!
I'm gonna need some legitimate prospects within 2 months. I don't know what I'll do if I don't
is it like IT call center?
its explaining medicare benefits over the phone
finished an internshp last month and they said they liked me so return offer but today they just called and said actually you dont have enough experience so bye and reneged me
What the fuck
so unprofessional why tf cant they be clear
Name and shame.
they said hr said they required 2 years experience
Thats so messed up
could posibly do another role in a different department of company for a major pay cut but like idk
id only do it if really needed something temporarily
but id def be looking for another job, ready to leave that kind of company
yeah pisses me off bc i spent the last month mostly relaxing since i thought this was done when I could have been applying
i guess never stop applying really is the golden rule
Thats what happened me to. I got offer so I relaxed playing video games. Then offer got rescinded and market is went downhill
yes!!!!!!!!!!
bro would keep on payroll till 15th oct so i got some breathing space , i requested him to keep me on payroll till nov 1 but then he was like lets do 15th oct if you don't find something else then let me know i'll keep you till 31st oct but after that i can't help so i was like yeah thats okay . post that you could keep me as a an unpaid swe sort of i'll figure that out and let you know
would you still be doing dev work?
love me some hopecore
Yeah I would but they said I would be classified as an external consultant which means 20-40% pay cut, no SUB, and no benefits
from intern salary or RTO salary (if there is even a difference?)
god that's so weird, external consultant
That's vs what they said ft would pay
the mental gymnastics these companies go through
The external consultant is p much only used for offshore devs
Or customer support agents
yup this sort of happened to me its fucked man
idk it's sth maybe? at least you'd be getting experience?
but obvs I don't know your situation
Yeah I'ma consider it but I'm kinda mad so I'ma see what other interviews I can get in the next few weeks
Did anyone here pass the Capital One TDP interview. last year but didn’t get the job because they were full?

Dev10 is closed 😦
you need sleep
but ye, I want to work up to putting in a solid 6-8 hours each day of apps, LC and skills
when are we going to get jobs? i am fucking tired
i’m starting to think of other fields i can join
@raven warren were you thinking of dev10? isn’t it underpaid and locked in for 2 years plus a big fee to leave?
I have been applying to anything with a pulse and hc
where do i start on LC when im so bad 😦
i just want to go back to the easy python questions
i need to do that
Just keep practicing.
If you really can't figure it out, look at the soutions with the goal of understanding the methodology, then try and do it yourself
Understand why the solution works for each particular problem.
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
Do NeetCode 150
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
when we say “having trouble solving easies” are we talking abt the brute force solution or the optimized one?
Optimized imo
I'm a LC noob tho, only 50 ques done so just speaking from my own experience
A better way to prepare for coding interviews.
damn
optimized for sure
are they hot
all I asked was 'can we meet to talk about job' and momo was like 'U dOnt HaVE to ASk ThEm To CoFfEE"
p sure this is usa
i mean i am only going for usa roles
hey at least you're getting 'meets basic requirements'
that's some legitimately helpful feedback
i think the requirement was
bachelors in CS
"has a pulse"
gradding before Summer 2024
you're their top choice, you're gonna nail it
perhaps, maybe I'm being too optimistic
i hope so

i mean im p sure almost everyone here will meet the qualifications
ig my thought process there is "I have a resume that meets the basic requirements of this job"
like the ATS is looking at it and you're getting past there
lol look at 2024 they getting the same email
but I know they will choose you 
lmao
these days if you don't have 4x faang + hft, the ATS will toss your resume
hence why I'm in retail
terry are you LCmaxxing and spamming applications
i legit have never used it
was just a joke
but u prob right
"but do you have any assembly experience?"
my JS experience is 1 class project
that counts as 2.5 years
personally yea
I do it's really bad
well it feels EZ like py
comped to java regular
hey man py is great
its the only lang i can read and understand naturally without much overhead bs
imo
imoiom
yeh
python 
my extent of OOP knowledge is
Class Extends Class
thanks for coming to my lecture
next week we discuss print statements
do u guys remember the first time docs for a lang clicked for you?
i remember being confused/overwhelmed by javadocs when i first started out, but then I did a class in C# and looked at the MSDN (which were great with the example usages), and came back to Java and was like oh shit I understand what all of this is now
waiting for that moment to happen in LC
i mean don't get me wrong, most times I read the blurbs on javadocs and am like wtf is this shit, but then I find an example usage and understand it
kk i'm about to start binary search section
done
about to start BS
I did NC last year
redoing it for fun
im garbage at trees/graphs
which is like 50% of problems lmao
Ew Java
java is bad
but better than c++
lmao you're funny dr crud
Python best for lc
im so happy java is falling out of favorability
Python is so goated
compared to 6-8 yrs ago
Kotlin is the best
On gif
God
You should give it a go


no... LC
LC only
who you interviewing with
is it classified?
ok so Veeva
gl dr crud
I'm learning go right now, def recommend
NO
oooof
understanding pointers will make ur life easier
golang or rust?
golang
oki
rust is for boomer senior devs
Go is good

in order to download more ram for C
You need to utilize AWS's ECS service
the Elastic C Service is for executing C code serverless in an environment that can dynamically scale its memory as needed by your code
(this is complete bullshit)
Java is everywhere
i can make these jokes becaues i have SAA
I'm gonna build my SaaS 200 billion dollar startup in Java
I will hire you all as long as you can code Java 8 and know AWS

You can malloc more memory than you have. Although, if you use more than you have, you start using swap space until that it is out.
tc - self funded
i will yell at devs to not touch Prod account
I don't have any good ideas
ci/cd deployments ftw
this is what happens if we give an SWE too much money and a pass to do whatever they want
this movie is crazy btw
Hey anyone that applied for Entry Level Application Engineer - 2024 Start Date at Vanguard that has done the HackerRank, Have you heard anything back from them?
no
it goes into the void
to never be responded to 🙂
Has anyone heard back from the LinkedIn apprenticeships?
same
what is malloc? sorry I only know Java and not C#
Ppl have
Not use
It's a C command, and I think it just allocates bytes of memory or something
A c function to allocate memory on the heap
Which is stored in ram
seems like networking and connections is the only way now
best way but not only way
you can still spray and pray
how can one network from home
im not gonna go to a bar to try to pickup a recruiter 😂
shots fired
I like to beg for referrals on Blind and LinkedIn

i tried, but hard get into
clearence preference
The place i got into didn't require clearance
which department
Classified 😎
It's a smaller defense company that's basically a part of the university I went to or something. Idk what branch lol
he got no clearance , he go noclassifed info
Yeah i don't know crap. All i do is debug front end bugs
BRO WHO CARES ABT CLEARANCE
YOU CAN LITERALLY JUST GO FISH AN F-35 OUT OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA LAKEBEDS AND GET WHATEVER CLASSIFIED INFO YOU WANT FROM WAR THUNDER FORUMS
FFS
There's probably more levels, but their existence is classified
and the clearance level above that is classified
YEAH LOL
took the words from me
lol
the level above TSSCI is "if we tell you, we shoot you after"
I wanna get TS/SCI so i can work in area 51
Idk lol, they said I can get clearance but I don't need it initially
actually yes
blind applying ain't helping
if they offer sponsoring the clearance process, you should do it just to have it for the next place u apply to
I wanna be a reverse software engineer at Area 51. I'll get to decipher and reverse engineer software found in alien spaceships 😎
doing a polygraph sounds stressful
I wonder what questions they ask lol
"Do you feel any attraction towards furries"
"Do you participate in the War Thunder forums?"
"do you use squints reading page 'disCORd?'"
No clearance for me 😭
"have you ever touched a piece of weed before"
like in my driveway? yea

oh
@lunar sonnet give me a ref pls
ty
i am coping day 1 of unemployment but i am also kinda happy i got out of that sweatshop . its a weird feeling
I mean i feel sad/gutted but also happy
but then again i am on a visa
which makes it worrying
i have until march to find something
yeah its almost sept end
rn my focus is putting more applications
the more i put in the number , the better chances i feel
Get Java themed bedding and pillows so that you are surrounded by Java even when you sleep
i am in no mood for jokes

Java mascot body pillow
i mean i see it this way , this was a fucking sweatshop that i needed to get out from anyway . they would make me do irrelevant shit plus the stress would affect other stuff too .
poor @tardy geode been grinding since last year
so its maybe good it happened early
yeah sweatshop also drains your energy so you have no motivation to study after
@tardy geode gotta up the LC hards and meds tbh
it isn't like i was happy at work , you know good work everything is under control you are learning thattypes
it was complete opposite and stress 24x7
i mean its way worse than i described it here
i didn;t use VScode at all my time there, let that sink in
any other ide??
i dont use vscode as much during work
i realized intelij has a lot of good features
see if i would have been during software dev stuff no issues , i would have been okay working 16 hours no worrise coz ik i am learning and making progress
bro i had not written any code at all
i was given randm non swe stuff and all
i have been grinding since mid july , that was the time i realised this is a shitshow and need to get out asap
but constantly grinding affects performance badly
i can stop it , like my friends are volunteering for a non profit so but yeah its an anxierty after all always
and again, look into IT/DevOps roles
IT not ideal but it would pay the bills and stop the clock
VScodium > VS code. Former is open source and latter isn't.
i have saved enough here to have 6 months rent , i knew this was unstable af and its all a shitshow
i always keep 6 months rent and food as savings
yeah then u gotta rest up and take care of your mental health
you been grinding for a year +
grinding , got into a sweatshop(was grinding here again since it was a shitshow) , grinding
man when will this end
i will try but you know idk if its my nature itself but i feel weird if i don't do anything
it feels like i am wasting time
nah time towards yourself isnt wasted
idk how to change this psychology
sometimes you gotta park the car to re-fuel
bro made me move all the way from coast to coast and then laid me off . life is unfair but everything happens for good i feel

god is testing me , making me stronger and something good is in sight BUT gotta get closer
again
F ur CEO

yeah Fr trash took itself out
bro didn't give me a single dev stuff and then tells i didn't have much work etc bs
it was always daddy's princess shit there
bro would ask his daughter "you like mongodb ?" oh lets do mongodb then 💀
lmao

now he has paid 80 fuking K to get a sample web app from them
he is gonna get played so bad
the sigma move is to date his daughter
she is a psychopath
💀
she started literally yelling in the meeting yesterday

Yea, most CEOs are.
i have been grinding since the day i came to US , grinded to get an internship got into walmart that too in CA man dream come true, grinded tf out in my internship didn't get converted due to budget constraints. again grinded
man its been hell since sept 2022
saw something about skipping question 3 for codesignals? whats that about?
but i am at it
don't even open Q3
y
do 1,2 and 4
impossible to get full score then no?
yeah i think they changed codesignal no?
u still in contact with ur team from walmart?
just my manager but bro is not proactive nor takes any efforts . seems like he is never interested .
yeah i am gonna do it this weekend
would i get less points if i did 1, 2, 4, and then spent the whole time not being able to solve 3
compared to not opening 3
o ok
oh ok thanks man
anyone here interviewed with DV Trading, or know what to expect in their assessment
what company is this
a shitty ass startup in redlands
geez dude that is fucked
but i mean the way it was , no one except yes-men 35+ year old indian and orthdox would survive
he has a use and throw mentatility
i am just sitting in a cafe that i usually come to on weekends , sipping iced coffee just to make me feel happy but deep down there is a emptiness
that paid 80k??
yeah , i mean ceo has shit ton of money but doesn't pay
i mean what did they really pay if they fired so soon
bro they paid me peanuts i mean it wouldn't even amount to 50-60k base a year
what they say chief
it’s gonna be a while till I get an offer letter but even after I do I can’t trust them to not rugpull me huh
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
and i dont qualify for the early career jobs because i am simply bad i guess and i get reject filtered
idk if i should lose hopes and cry all day
so i guess ill go fuck myself
i still have 3 open early career apps for LM
will wait for rejects
OH
IT WAS INFURIATING
because the email was TITLED
"Lockheed Martin Opportunity"
and its a rejection
like cmon fk off
it’s tough out here

I think we gotta learn how to skip the stages of grief and go straight to acceptance
just tank every rejection and keep going
make a youtube video naming and shaming this mf
I wanna know how all of you are getting to the interview stage.
For me it’s mostly referrals
@obsidian crater how did you stop your clock ?
CA?
so I spam apply, spam recruiters, but take time to personalize if I have a connection/referral?
everybody spams recruiters
i haven’t been spamming them enough
NY
well 90% of. the time they don't even accept the request , what do you write in the note to them ?
nah it's not a sweatshop
do you all do cover letters?
but sucks ass
relevant swe work and do they sponsor?
wouldn't call it relevant
and how much quality goes into your cover letters?
I never do it unless mandatory
nobody reads that shit
skip cover letters bro
i don’t expect them to read it but I think they still check if you even sent one in
could be wrong
Rip the struggle of being an already graduated student but not eligible for new grad roles
Just do a generic one and change the company name before you send it lol
Ya ur screwed no joke
bomb me?
THANKS BRO
Not even lying ur actually screwed, it’s gonna be tough
but what can we do
Not having new grad privilege is a huge L
wtf can we do
U can’t do anything i was also unemployed for like 8 months after my layoff
Just gotta keep applying
they want em young
Most companies consider you NG as long as you graduated within the last year iirc
it's so stupid that being a new grad that just walked 2 months ago is considered not a new grad but someone who is set to graduate in 8 months is considered a new grad
that’s life
companies are stupid bro
cause were expired goods
FUCKING STUPID
my friend got a swe new grad job as a psych major back in 2019, those days r gone
otherwise a thicc fat rope for u babe
can we start our own llc and give each other xp?
the only thing i see going wrong is if they ask for w2s
yeah
they'll be like "oh we contribute 10K" to your retirement each year
count that in tc

I mean 10k in retirement is still money
cWrWc
wtf it is so over
You can actually be FANG as a pharmacist
Amazon pharmacy
Oops put the wrong bottle in the patient package 
It is joever
i am down
building what
next amazon
that's not an idea
how on earth do u spin that in an interview
i have a cs degree adn interns
i can barely get by interviews
i cant imagine saying im a bio major applying for CS roles
different market
I also was just never the type of person to get a degree without having a well thought out pathway
I wouldn’t just switch from CS to medical rn or something like that
Modern cloud = dev certs from aws, gcp, azure etc? Also what encompasses modern infra? Looking for some knowledge 
i mean
its not hard
pretty sure if u tailored ur classes, psych majors take stat classes usually
so they learn R
but then your back at the question
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
"i realized im passionate about CS, want to leverage my psych background and find an intersection between the fields to achieve XXX, etc."
your question is why do people change careers
to have fun in uni
only good answer
im starting to believe bachelors degrees are all pretty useless and they are basically the new high school degree
and u need masters to get anywhere
nah you pretty much need a phd at this point
no you don't lol
experience matters more than education
For industry:
work exp >>> degree >> anything else
PhDs are useless for industry unless required in some niche area
PhD's are useless
unless you are applying for jobs that require PhD
in which case it's joever if someone else with MIT or Stanford PhD is also applying
@obsidian crater how did it go?
problem is u cant even get work exp with bachelors
what
you can
if you have 4x faang + hft on your resume
sure bachelors is common but idt anybody gives a shit if u have a masters
that wont make the difference if ur getting screened
some do tbh but it's not a common thing
this is cope
market is tough rn for everybody
graduate degrees are scam
Only getting worse!
Unless your company offers to cover it
Georgia tech omcs to faang pipeline
masters worth it if you want to do research

ong
is there any way i can check unemployment days ?
wdym u dont want to do coding for min wage
How real is this?
It’s real
i can believe, even in the USA you find 20/hr entry level web dev or testing roles
ridiculous given the cost of living + paying back your student loans for an education isn't even enough to cover any of it
Idk. LOL. But he applied.
us minimum fed wage is 7.25, but in Cali it's higher. I think it's legal under the guise of "voluntary educational work"
you get skills
i would make it my mission to destroy their codebase if i worked there
idk how maybe run a sql drop command
is ur friend intl.?
No, he's a way better SWE than me but I don't think he wants to do OAs.
does the cap1 tdp use your old codesignal if you already did it earlier
How is CodeSignal anyways? I never took it before.
Usually 4 questions - 1&2 are leetcode easies, 3 is usually a big implementation question and 4 is lc medium (algo)
Well, that was codesignal gca. Different companies can pick their own questions/test instead of the general.
Do you need camera on?
usually no
My main PC doesn't have one.
Ah, gotcha.
I've heard it was 1-2-4-3 in order of taking them.
I can solve most LC easies, mediums are hit or miss, but want to be sure before I go into anything.
Yeah I think most people skip 3
1,2 are probably strings/arrays should be done in like 5 to 10 mins, 3 is probably LC med with some hashmap, 4 is probably some nasty 2D array
3 is matrix, right?
oops I mixed 3 and 4
alberta electricity bills 
Wow, that's weird, wonder why 3 is harder than 4.
not harder just more time consuming, it's implementation heavy
I hate leetcode
I lowkey wanna leave swe and just become a psychopath phd cybersecurity guy
I'd like LeetCode if I had maximum time to think about it.
no
A lot of leetcode to me is just solving pointless problems
you will become a great swe
same its lame
