[rustic glacier]

august grad over here

[blissful vapor]

Im getting so little interviews im a 2024 may grad so I want to hope Im eligible for most companies if I graduate without an offer

obviously im grinding this semester but you know its not all in your control

are u actively looking rn?

oh

nice

think the move is to find some random startup not on the github

everything on that site too hard

[slender axle]

joining an early stage startup has to be the dumbest move of all time. you get all the risk of the founders, but you 1/10th of the stock. if you want to join a startup, you should be the one making the startup

[rustic glacier]

^ facts

[ebon summit]

not really

people forget

you got like 30-40 years of working

lots can change

so what?

I know people who've gone from startups ot managers in fanngs

just cause something is difficult shouldn't make it any less explored

brah just sounds like you're speaking out of ur arse now

[past hound]

Unless it is a unicorn, this is what I would be worried about.

[azure chasm]

Has anyone gone through Tesla's process recently?

[dire carbon]

anyone complete the ramp final for backend?

[golden agate]

If I have a couple projects in JavaScript, 1 in python, and 1 in java on my resume...you think that gives off a bad look?

no internships

[grizzled bronze]

no

[grizzled bronze]

that'll make it harder

[golden agate]

coo

Lastly, I always put links to the app if it's live and the github links. For one project I don't believe I uploaded to github but I have a YouTube video demonstrating it. Think I should add link to that?

nay

actually, I could email my teacher. It was a project like 5 years ago lol. but it looked good. He may have a zip

[rustic glacier]

hiring managers arent gonna look at ur projects, they are just going to skim ur resume

focusing on explaining it and the uses cases in ur resume bullet points

[elfin flint]

Bruh I didn't explain my projects, I just put the link of my projects on the resume

Gonna redo my resume tmr

[golden agate]

i have links to the live app and github links

not sure if they serve me well

[elfin flint]

Bruh that's why

I'm gonna list all my projects tmr

[golden agate]

people post these crazy resumes without links, I can't imagine half these people are impressive as they posted

[shut mountain]

Im contemplating on leaving tech cause I dont even know if its worth hanging in there to get a job that pays 50k per year, just to get laid off.

[golden agate]

I mean people say they did this and that and are bullshitting

[shut mountain]

Im currently in grad school doing 1 class per semester. I got a job as a pharmacy technician but that isn’t my dream job though.

True but the whole covid lay offs and the economy still being bad for tech

[golden agate]

I do

desperate times

probably

like fake nattys

[tribal rampart]

How to get better at LC

Not working 😭

This might be a good idea

Yeah 😔

Yeah I’m just doing tagged questions

Hoping they come

Meta

Are they asking only tagged these days?

[obsidian wraith]

Has anyone done a goldman sachs superday for an analyst role?

[past hound]

Ah no

[tribal rampart]

When is yours

Mine hasn’t come yet

[past hound]

Average NG salary is like half that.

Unfortunately 2021-2022 came and went

[obsidian wraith]

yeah moved on to superday and now waiting for them

[tribal rampart]

Same

[obsidian wraith]

can I dm you?

[tribal rampart]

Sure

I thought average would be 150k

[past hound]

Yes, just that the number of people getting that super high end TC fell.

Average is more towards 80k

[rain patio]

I’m still unemployed man

Got an email from Wayfair about reaching out to me before new years and saw that they did that to everyone here lol (I just joined)

Sounds like it was just a protocol

[brave forge]

Thanks bro

[slender axle]

Has anyone gotten affirm OA recently? I'm really surprised I havent seen one from them yet

for myself, I mean

Recruiter from there added me but ghosted when I messaged them

[forest scarab]

losing hope

[final sentinel]

just cause the recruiter added u on linkedin?

[slender axle]

i mean yeah? in past years, every time a recruiter reached out to me randomly I got an offer to interview. what would be the point in randomly connecting with me

[final sentinel]

ohh i thought u sent a connection request and then they added u

[slender axle]

I applied within an day of the job posting going up

assume they saw my application

and honestly my application is pretty strong, at this point I have revised it so much its rock solid

*resume

[final sentinel]

plenty of ppl have strong resumes and theyre not hearing back. but id assume if a recruiter sent a connection request then thats a good sign

[spark nova]

lmao, a month ago a Playstation recruiter in-mailed me, said I would be interviewing for a role

ghosted after that

uncertain, life is

[slender axle]

idk, for some reason affirm just seems like the one, i have a good feeling about it

company is pretty chill to work at i think

[brave forge]

Can you share your resume, I want to see what a strong resume looks like

[slender axle]

i will make a censored version of it maybe, I don't want my name linked to my discord too much

[final sentinel]

dm me too, curious

[rain patio]

Whats the likelyhood of getting caught if you look up a company that went out of business and say you had a swe internship there?

Would they actually request pay stubs or proof

[slender axle]

high

yes

[rain patio]

damn

[slender axle]

they will expect you to submit your w2

[rain patio]

dammit

[slender axle]

unless it was unpaid internships, but idk who does unpaid internships in tech

[rain patio]

lol i had one

but yeah that sucks

bc im at my first swe job outta college and im prolly gonna get fired

but i still wanna be able to put that on my resume

so i was thinkin out making up a past experience so i could still talk about what i worked on and learned

Any ideas? :/ cuz it prolly doesnt look good to put that you were a jr dev for only a couple months

[mystic vine]

Has job market got any better yet? Did leetcode for no reason 😕

[quick python]

It’s better than it was over Christmas

I got a few recruiter messages this week

[forest scarab]

what exp do u have

[quick python]

1.5 yoe full time role as full stack dev and some freelance, graduate in March

[patent flame]

march 22?

[quick python]

24

In 2 months

[mystic vine]

100

[mystic vine]

Where do you apply?

[quick python]

LinkedIn

[mystic vine]

Mostly medium level, not easy level

[quick python]

But going to switch to Glassdoor and others because LinkedIn is driving me insane with the spam jobs and duplicate jobs

[mystic vine]

Not a lot? lol I did the most common questions

[mystic vine]

Oh okay, I apply on indeed

How many have you done?

[quick python]

That’s crazy

[mystic vine]

Damn wtf

[quick python]

I’ve done 2

💀

[mystic vine]

1.6k??

[quick python]

Going to start doing more

[mystic vine]

DId you have interveiws ask you lc questions?

[quick python]

Damn

[mystic vine]

Where do you work at?

[quick python]

Applying for competitive companies?

[mystic vine]

A few questions a day

You work at TikTok?

[quick python]

TikTok is very to me yes

I feel like leetcode is a good way to learn a language better

But just what I heard idk

[mystic vine]

You're giving me motivation to do lc again lol

I'd be happy if I could do 1 medium problem a day lol

I did this

https://neetcode.io/practice

150 questions

Yeah I did like most of them

Oh no

I don't watch those videos

I just get the problems

So you work at TikTok? or where ?

Nice

[azure chasm]

I'm trying leetcode in c# and i agree

[quick python]

Nice I’m also using c# for leetcode

[night maple]

you work at tiktok?

[quick python]

No

I said i consider ir very competitive to get a job there

[stark blaze]

Hey, did anyone give Goldman Sachs Super Day recently?

[lean carbon]

Bruh I think I got ghosted from JP morgan

I passed all test cases for the OA and did the wehire video thing but never got a response after that

[elfin flint]

I think I got ghosted

[trail panther]

When did you submit the OA/video?

[lean carbon]

2weeks ago now I think

[tawdry nacelle]

same chief, Meta spamming the same 30 positions everyday is annoying when trying to find an actual new posting to apply to

[fathom dagger]

So what's the plan here guys

Wtf do we do

[pliant hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/canticos-not-gonna-make-it-not-going-to-make-it-ngmi-were-not-going-to-make-it-gif-25635049

[ebon spire]

palantir rejected after VO. time to rope

started this process in mid october

[forest scarab]

im wondering the same

[golden agate]

I was talking to my buddy who dropped out senior year and started a software company to sell it for a few million. He didn't know what Leetcode was

nor do I think he's taken an online assessment. Brilliant as hell, but just funny to think about

[ebon spire]

ye i was part of start up which we got acquired for over mil valuation

but never did LC nor OAs before that

and still cant get past resume pre-screen

[rain patio]

I wanna retire already 😭

Working for 40+ years after college sounds lame

[golden agate]

haha I don't. I just want to make decent money and build my own shit

[final sentinel]

he never said he didnt know how to code. He just said he never did leetcode. 99% of projects u work on ur not gonna have to implement red black trees or do binary search

[forest scarab]

im used to rejection by now

[golden agate]

no he's been programming since like 13 I think. He creates something and if it does well he puts more time into it and just keeps doing that. Think he made a few projects but 1 really took off and he sold it after a few years.

[golden agate]

exactly. You don't need to be an excellent programmer who knows a ton of theory, you just need to make something that creates value to customers

[versed crane]

thats my plan too, gain capital + exp and build something

[versed crane]

my day doesnt go well until I wake up to my mail notif and finding a rejection mail

[final sentinel]

hows it less rewarding? Ud easily gain financial freedom and nvr have to work again after selling a succesful company

with faang ur gonna have to work 15 years minimum to retire

definitely more stressful and risky

but way higher reward

[golden agate]

no, he was making money off of it junior year but senior year it picked up a lot more. Then he started spending full time on it

Think he sold it for 3-4 million and it was just him

and now he is working on the next thing

[final sentinel]

like who? Almost every millionares gonna tell u they built a succesful business and worked for themselves to get to where they are. Theyre not gonna tell u they worked a 9 to 5 😂

[golden agate]

Definitely not screwed. He's doing VERRY well. He's a go getter and really creative. Not saying that's going to be most people who make it, but just an interesting thought

[final sentinel]

ur speaking out of ur ass. No one who built a succesful business is gonna say i wouldnt recommend it

theyll say its hard and risky but def wouldnt tell u to choose a 9 to 5 to get rich

bro literally pasted one example like he disproved me

if u want stability its not a good idea. If u want the fastest way to get rich then yes go build ur own business or startup

[rain patio]

Usually you have to start with a 9-5 to get the initial capital to sustain yourself as you build a business

[grizzled bronze]

depends on the type of company/product, you could create courses on Udemy or make your own apps

[rain patio]

Or do startup at night after your day job

[final sentinel]

ik thats the goal

[grizzled bronze]

just get a job at google and work at your startup during your job https://www.businessinsider.com/google-employee-says-he-works-one-hour-days-fortune-2023-8

[rain patio]

LOL

[brave forge]

now they will find him and fire him

your kidding me hes 22 years old in google with 2 jobs and a start up?

someone just promote him to millionaire

[oak kite]

Anyone works or interviewed at Paradyme Management based in McLean, Virginia?

[grizzled bronze]

McLean

[oak kite]

i didn't pass their OA haha

[oak kite]

Can't find any information on their technical portion

im onto the second round, really want to quit this korean bbq job asap so lmk D:

[oak kite]

But serious question, I have to finish one more class before receiving my diploma. They can tell if you finished a bachelors degree during a security clearance right

[rain patio]

Definitely lol

[oak kite]

Gotcha I’ll let them know if I receive an offer

[past hound]

Of course he is gonna say that, no company wants more competition.

But yea, startup life seems insanely hard and time consuming, def not for most.

[untold fjord]

why tf entry level requires 5+ yrs of exp. Do recruiter stpd or sth???????

[patent flame]

Yea

Went thru all rounds of their interviews and got every question right

What role are u asking abt tho

[untold fjord]

an entry job post for SE

[patent flame]

Did u see it on LinkedIn cause that happens all@the time to me

[untold fjord]

like anywhere

[oak kite]

Thank the heavens bruh

Bruh I struggled so hard I never served in my life

ay i appreciate you bro

i think Yams is about to save my life

You gunna make the bag too ❤️

[tawdry nacelle]

I need some of those prayers too pls, my anxiety is killing me job hunting these past few weeks

[oak kite]

im praying for you bro

[vital meteor]

Do you have abg coworkers

[oak kite]

I do yea

but tbh im nmore concerned about finding a job atm aha

one of them is a straight 10

[rain patio]

[pine topaz]

why dont u ask her out

[rain patio]

https://tenor.com/view/canticos-not-gonna-make-it-not-going-to-make-it-ngmi-were-not-going-to-make-it-gif-25635049

[oak kite]

Can u imagine all the consequences that would follow if she says no 💀

[brave forge]

Nothing? Just ask if you want to get a coffee after work and if she say no then ok

[pine topaz]

get a swe job then ask her out 😉

but ya I agree. dont shit where u eat

[oak kite]

yea exactly haha i don't want to be "that guy"

[fallen fox]

bruh

has anyone had a recruiter screen where you call the recruiter instead?

[blazing flame]

can confirm

[round lake]

Has anyone recently interviewed for the Smartsheet frontend position (full time)?

[fresh mango]

Been looking for a role for 6 months, got a 75k WFH SWE position. I should take it without thinking right?

exp + money > no money no exp and stress?

[past hound]

Yes, take it.

I was in the same situation, but my TC was 109k.

[fresh mango]

Yeah, been swooning over low TC but it's a start is what I tell myself

[past hound]

Yea

[fossil jewel]

you can just work in a LCOL place

[past hound]

Better to have a start when no start

I know a lot of people are expiring

[fossil jewel]

75k can go far in a cheap city

[fresh mango]

All friends and everything is basically HCOL

Don't expect to save much this year

[fossil jewel]

you live with fam or alone?

[fresh mango]

International

[past hound]

Move to LCOL?

[grizzled bronze]

this is good, 75k and remote

accept and keep applying if you are not satisfied

only renege if you get another offer

[fossil jewel]

im not gonna sit here and say 75k in nyc is poverty

[fresh mango]

Moving to LCOL, saving like 10k but no social life at all is a big tradeoff basically start life in a new city

[fossil jewel]

but you're not gonna be in the center of the city/most galmorous apt

[fresh mango]

Yep, no ofc I don't expect luxury

[past hound]

You will save way more than 10k.

[lunar sonnet]

yeah you’ll save like 3x or more as much

[fresh mango]

Oh damn, that's a consideration

[lunar sonnet]

if ur intl

[fossil jewel]

like if you really wanna stay with friends you'll just rethink finances, its possible to manage

[lunar sonnet]

some ppl live intl if your company chill about it

[fresh mango]

Yeah, the thing I was thinking was - Market is kinda weirdly shit, this is a job in the field so high potential for moving in the future as well so just take it work and wait it out for 2024. If it ever gets better then move?

[lunar sonnet]

definitely

having ft experience will make it a lot better too

to land other stuff

[fresh mango]

Yeah just wanted some peace of mind lol

I see all the FAANG offers and all that, makes me tweak

start is a start🫡

[lunar sonnet]

not everyone is landing those haha it’s an awful rn

[fresh mango]

Comparison never an option ofc

well aware of it

[fossil jewel]

faang is like 0.1%

[lunar sonnet]

I just checked a LinkedIn post and it had 5000 comments in a couple hours

[fresh mango]

I completed undergrad in 21

Stupid mf me

went for a MS right after to pursue research (fully paid so spent nothing which is ok I guess)

[fossil jewel]

you'll be making 75k working remotely, if you live in HCOL , you'll have more time for your social life

which is a plus ya know

[lunar sonnet]

it was a mid role and there were hundreds of PhD’s , experienced ppl , ex faang , etc. etc. so barely anyone is really getting decent stuff

[fossil jewel]

its better than being flat out broke and on a timer to get a job

[fresh mango]

Comment if interested posts bro

piss me off

[fossil jewel]

oh its to farm engagement

[fresh mango]

Yeah, "will send a list of opportunities" kind

[fossil jewel]

linkedin is full of narcissists lmao

[fresh mango]

Yep that too

Thanks guys lol, gives me some peace

[foggy sundial]

maybe find some roommates in hcol area

75k manageable prob

[fossil jewel]

yeah and bc you're remote you really can just use the time to grind out for better stuff

[grizzled bronze]

Just had an incredible interview! 🚀💡We talked about everything from their journey as an entrepreneur to their insights on the future of software engineering. 💡💻

One thing that really stood out to me was their emphasis on the importance of taking risks and learning from failures. 💪🏽💡

"Don't be afraid to take risks. The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Nelson Mandela

I was so inspired by their passion and dedication to their craft, and I know you will be too! 💥🎉Stay tuned for the full interview, coming soon! 📺👀#influencer #entrepreneur #risktaker #innovator #mock_interviews

[rain patio]

Most Linkedin ahh post I've ever seen

[fresh mango]

2224?

2225 now

[dense swan]

f

[foggy sundial]

how r u able to see the exact number

mine just says over 100 usually

[polar grail]

what do you put for "Why do you want to work with us? "

i need some inspiriation for my bs

[rain patio]

Ask chatgpt 😂

[polar grail]

lmao, I could and then change up a little, but bruh i seen so much of these application that require you write short response to these question make you sign I did not use ai tool to write this. They know

[rain patio]

i mean how can they prove you didn't use ai?

[polar grail]

🤷‍♂️ bad grammer, puncation prob

[rain patio]

You can always ask chatgpt to give you an outline and then you write your response in your own words based on the outline

So it still helps you by giving you ideas on what you can write about, while still being your own work?

[polar grail]

you still ai tool help u though

but it dosent really matter

time look up few quick facts on that company and feed it to gpt

and give me a outline to stroke the company ego

[quick python]

Yea you just need to re write the response or use an outline basically

I’ve been skipping cover letters or sending a generic one but should start actually doing good cover letters I guess

[fresh mango]

LinkedIn certification @chatpot “this is the job description tell me as a recent grad why would you want to work here”

[quick python]

Just talk about how you love their tech stack and use it a lot and also like the industry/ mission of the company if that applies

[golden agate]

phone interview today. I'm happy to say it went really well. The game changer was I was just myself and not trying to suck up lol

[brave forge]

awesome

keep going

[tawdry nacelle]

Idk wtf to do at this point, finally start getting responses for apps after weeks and it’s been all rejections, haven’t had an interview since before thanksgiving, I’m just starting to get hella depressed

Like idk what I’m doing wrong

[rain patio]

Applying online is like online dating a this point 😭

[brave forge]

i havent ever got an interview this year

[tawdry nacelle]

the year is less than 2 weeks old

[brave forge]

idk what to do just grind harder and apply harder

[brave forge]

this is a depressing story dont interrupt with facts

[grizzled bronze]

yo, weren't you complaining about no jobs on sunday

[tawdry nacelle]

Anxiety of nothing but an internship since graduating last May isn’t helping either

[brave forge]

i graduate in 7 weeks

[tawdry nacelle]

Bro you aren’t helping

[brave forge]

i am also panicking though i want a job offer to go along with my graduation 🥹

just grind maxx and keep applying and check every day for a response

[eager crag]

Would applying next season for 2025 NG positions as a FT at zon get past more resume screens than a still student 2x prev zon internships (aka does applying NG while already graduated/working give disadvantage or advantage over seniors applying)

[brave forge]

theres no 2025 ng for amazon

your only shot is internships

[eager crag]

Nah I’m saying next recruiting season (already have zon)

[grizzled bronze]

applying for 2025 new grad roles as someone who already has a FT job and graduated?

most places would consider you ineligible

but you can apply and try anyway

[brave forge]

na they prefer hiring people with ~1 yoe over actual new grads

[eager crag]

They all just say <1 year since left school thought

[grizzled bronze]

yeah if you meet the requirements they say then you qualify, you can try and see what happens

[grizzled bronze]

for new grad specific roles? nah, they usually say if you have more than 1 YOE then you don't qualify

[golden agate]

[jolly leaf]

would it be enough for meta oa to do 3/4 but only got 2 of 10 cases on the 3rd one?

[polar grail]

nah

it prob possible but u got be very lucky

that all their top choice has bad resume

which is very unlikely

[jolly leaf]

yeah true

so everyone got hr reachouted or?

[willow sedge]

oop amazon laying off another big chunk

[lunar sonnet]

what the fuck never read that sub before

why are mfers with 2yoe 5yoe and 7yoe saying it took them 1 year, 1.5 years to land a job

and then some couldn’t land shit and gave up

that can’t be real thats like the complete opposite of blind lmao

[modest rampart]

[grizzled bronze]

they're just making that up to lessen the competition

[elfin flint]

Ok I'm buying another rope

[grizzled bronze]

get your resume reviewed in #1019675142248468601

you have multiple yoe, you should be getting offers

[brave forge]

I kinda also need to rewrite mine but not sure what else to add I only have 2 jobs and a degree

[quick python]

2 YOE isn’t helping me much tbh but I don’t have my degree yet for 2 months more so maybe that’s going to help

But yea if you have 5+ years that’s your issue if you can’t get any job

[gloomy terrace]

i aced it and got rejected so

[polar grail]

u didnt do it under 10 min

that why

[fresh mango]

no MsFt/datadog OA for any spring 23 grad?

[tawdry nacelle]

anyone who did was probably an RO

[hidden scaffold]

arent most applications coming from indians who have no work visa though, or bootcampers? So in reality, only 1% of ppl applying are actually qualified(i.e someone from the states with a cs degree)

[fresh mango]

These positions weren't even open in 23 for these many people lol

[hidden scaffold]

lol might be

maybe more like 60-70%? Anyways I have heard that most of the time most of the ppl applying to linkedin job postings arent even qualified for the job, with some of them even having absolutely no background in cs/swe(i.e self taughters). Still probably doesnt help the fact that there are still probably 100s of ppl applying to a job posting almost immediately who are all equally qualified for the job😬

[brave forge]

How do you know you are in the qualified?

For all the hiring manager cares you are also unqualified

[hidden scaffold]

I mean to be fair, a lot of ppl who apply to a job are going to be qualified. What the hiring manager is going to be looking for, is the most qualified person thats best for the job alongside having the best attributes(such as social awareness, is able to work well in a team, etc)

They wont just hire you simply because you are qualified

Especially not in this day and age

[zenith salmon]

Anyone interviewing with Wayfair for the Austin office?

[fossil jewel]

trainability is important too

[mellow glade]

fml dude am i really gonna do this job grind for like another 6 months?

[jolly leaf]

got rejected already today. But the hr told me it was the OA not the resume. Something about passing the COA. Basically gotta ace all 4 I guess.

hey can anyone give me some suggestions about jobhunting on linkedin. I had a daily update from linkedin which tagged as "software+engineer+new+grad". But I constantly get some repeated positions. Is there a better to filter that key word for new grad jobs?

[ornate cliff]

same I just check "software grad" multiple times a day

[urban locust]

passing OA won't do anything

[cobalt lake]

what does COA stand for?

some acronym for the behavioral OA?

[vital meteor]

Someone here got 2/4 and passed unless they recently increased standards

[brave forge]

Personally I don’t like filtering any jobs, and LinkedIn search engine is stupid. I just type “job” and scroll through everything, or type “developer” but it kind of sucks nothing narrows it to what you want as a new grad. Like 80% of roles you see are too much experience

Also companies label their new grad roles many terms. Jr developer, associate developer, entry level developer, new grad software engineer, all sorts of stuff

Software engineer 0 or 1 also

[forest scarab]

any 23 grads still jobless

[proper jungle]

I have a part time job but it’s not in the field, I’m trying to switch to cs

hows it going

[tawdry nacelle]

Made a deal with myself if I’m not at least in the final round for a position by my birthday (around Presidents’ Day) I’ll get a part time job serving until I get a swe job

And rn no interviews since week before thanksgiving

But I applied to like 30 places today so who knows

[brave forge]

I really want a job also. If I don’t land something by the time I graduate I’ll probably pick up something part time

[brave forge]

Thanksgiving in January ?

[hardy relic]

u were able to find 30 jobs for ng?

[forest scarab]

what do i do after 2 yrs jobless😭

[gray terrace]

start applying for post -grad internships, which should extent the deadline a bit to apply for full time

but after 2 years, your kinda fked

[gray terrace]

We have multiple openings for our Summer Graduate Internship Program taking place from May 6, 2024 to August 30, 2024. Our openings are for graduate level students and students who have received a bachelor’s or master’s degree who will be given the opportunity to engage in practical research to further their educational goals. The selected interns will work in the computer software field and provide technical and/or research support to projects in the areas of computational science, cyber defense, computer science, numerical methods, mathematics, or other related fields.

students who have received a bachelor’s

[forest scarab]

and grad students

[gray terrace]

yea, but they don't mind you are a student with a bachelor's degree. I checked with the recruiter before applying

[forest scarab]

am i able to apply to internships rn for the upcoming summer and say ill be a student?

[gray terrace]

for some companies that's possible

like the one above

[forest scarab]

idk how i would write that on my resume

[forest scarab]

so u said ull be doing masters? or u just didnt mention it at all

[gray terrace]

again, you don't need a master's degree for this position. Its for students who have received a bachelor’s or master’s degree

so if you recently gradudated on 2023 you good

[forest scarab]

okay thanks

you can also apply for spring this year as well

Never seen that for an OA before

[elfin flint]

The leetcode problem could be easy for you I'm just ass

[tawdry nacelle]

Hey guys, I have an upcoming technical interview with a startup. They said it will tackle a practical problem working with real world systems and it will be focused on the backend
What do you think I should focus on?
I can use any language I like, so I am probably going to use TS.
It is also for a new grad position.

[solar ridge]

Maybe you can look for similar system to their products and read the designs. You can even try to build pseduo code for some services of that system.

But I’m gonna apply to a lot more soon

[grizzled bronze]

[lunar sonnet]

this has been true but not rly the issue

[quick python]

Local company in aerospace

[lunar sonnet]

it’s that you get callbacks and interviews but they’re not looking to hire before stack ranking and taking their sweet time to pick the most cracked person

[grizzled bronze]

chances are if you're in this discord, you're that most cracked person

my only promising interview is a random embedded c++ role that idek why they’re considering me , and I gotta grind the next 4 days to get up to speed with rope++

[tawdry nacelle]

[lunar sonnet]

i personally do because ive been working on projects every month and the dates there shows that i'm always working on something

[frosty bison]

quick question guys, should I cancel my interview?
I already accepted an offer somewhere else (passed all checks, and expected to start in a few weeks)
this other company pays better, but it's supposed to be a really toxic environment, not sure if it's worth my mental health to even interview (I'll probably bomb it anyways)

[grizzled bronze]

yeah just cancel and enjoy

[peak lagoon]

i'd give it a shot

esp. if the pay is better

[elfin flint]

[vestal violet]

anyone with ml interview experience?

[polar grail]

Wouldn’t rec doing that, from what heard if u do that they would give raise sure but then they would start looking for people to replace u in mean time, prob another lowing paid junior fill ur role

yea hahahhaa

just take it as a forward learning

it definitely is something i had to work on / i drilled the shit out of everyone i teached before

any 23 grads still looking for jobs

[gleaming fable]

layoffs that were planned over holidays are executed right after new years, so they pile up and happen all at once

[elfin flint]

I guess a lot of us? And thousands not in this discord

[gleaming fable]

you guys are entering the worst tech job market since the dot com bust, definitely a lot of ppl still looking

[elfin flint]

I should have picked Biochemist

Bruh I was so good at chemistry, math, and biology

[forest scarab]

feels good to not be alone. i hope we'll all make it

[rustic glacier]

yea and we all thought market was getting better but now they starting layoffs again

we entering deep recession, itll only get worse from here

[forest scarab]

yall think so?

[rustic glacier]

for sure man

we are in an insane deficit

treasury running out of money by end of this month

both us and canada

go grind ur connections and network, nepo is only way to get in nowadays

[gleaming fable]

I think we're through the worst of it personally. Fed is gonna do 3 small rate cuts over the year and that should ease things back into normality + growth mode

we also run a big deficit even in good times. USD is the global reserve currency, certain rules don't apply

[ebon summit]

I feel most of the layoffs now are just people running slim and trying to get rid of overhiring blot

[rustic glacier]

us is servicing 1 trillion of interest payments on the debt alone this year

thats an insane amount

and its only growing

us heading for a softish hard landing while canada going for a hard hard landing

unemployment needs to go way up before they stop cutting, but they have to cut or else economy crumbles

its like worse possible outcome on anyside

[gleaming fable]

sure in absolute numbers but proportionally its only slightly above the baseline: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYOIGDA188S

it spiking upwards is worrying but thats just attributal to covid chaos and having to stimulate the economy

[rustic glacier]

yea yea ik for sure but you see an up but itll start going down again

or maybe the war is gonna make us super rich

[gleaming fable]

unlike most wars this one might not be profitable as ghoulish as that sounds

if we fight yemen or join israel in fighting its neighbors the suez is fucked

and that fucks global supply chains

current admin knows there's zero appetite for a war rn from the general public I don't think they'll do it

[rustic glacier]

yea yea for sure very true

its already fucked

they are attacking all boats in suez related to the us

i mean its valid but yea making us lose a lot of money

thats why the us is in there rn to protect ships ad $$$

[autumn iris]

[tawdry nacelle]

I wish I graduated a year earlier when I still could, might’ve had better luck as a 22 grad

[elfin flint]

same

[tawdry nacelle]

Pretty sure the Houthi were only attacking boats headed towards Israel, hence when the US called up other western countries against Yemen, Spain and other European countries didn’t join up bc their boats weren’t getting commandeered

[elfin flint]

when will we get another pandemic ?

job > dead

hoping for the best D:

[grizzled bronze]

yo, i'm worried for you since you're simping so hard for H&R block. if you get rejected after phone round, just remember there are a lot of other good companies out there.

@brave forge did you set your phonescreen to H&R block yet

[brave forge]

wednesday

should be stupid easy, its just a call to confirm your interested in the position and explain it. Only 20 minutes, just be polite and answer the ladies questions and get passed to next round, 2 directors in a 30 minute behavioral

LC hards are easy for me

[frosty bison]

Good luck sir

[brave forge]

@fallen fox i have not left room or my desk in 20 hours idk what grass is i havent seen in so many years. i fell asleep for 3 hrs then got up and panik grindd

[tulip robin]

Are you sure this is the best way to prepare for a recruiter screen?

Seems like the opposite of what you should be doing lol

[undone root]

Need to lookmaxx and socialmaxx before leetcode

Rizz the hr lady to land a new grad job

[slender axle]

Do you guys think it is tacky to put your codesignal report on the website section of a job application?
Or will they see 600 and be neutral or positive towards your app

[undone root]

yes

[brave forge]

on sunday - monday ill spend more time studying behavioral and using ChatGPT to come up with better STAR answers and record my delivery to questions and read up on behavioral interviews. It's kind of hard studying for a company that doesnt ask leetcode, it's supposedly easier but you never know what they will ask. I'm just doing leetcode to make myself feel like im doing something productive

i think tomorrow im going to go line by line through my projects till i understand them well in and out in case they ask me to explain which is likely

[oak kite]

You should also go through iterations

and the time and space complexity

[dusty frost]

super tacky lmao

[slender axle]

just trying to stand out any way I can hahaha

[brave forge]

i like playing "guess the time and space complexity"

[dusty frost]

uusally hr is the first to read

they'll be so confused

xD

even tbh TL managers id say

be so confused

cause these sort of thigns

is more for ppl who are deep in the weed

of the interview process

who has the context

[brave forge]

just put it at the bottom in my opinion, under certifications

if they dont know what it means it will just get ignored, but devs will know

[slender axle]

it's not on my resume lol

I mean where there is a slot on the job application

for other websites

[brave forge]

oh i dont think anybody looks at that

unless u are UI/UX and showing off portfolio

[dusty frost]

i agree

the extra website stuff is for linkedin

github

etc

and most ppl wont look

but i think its helpful to have it for the rare ocassion they do

[grim ore]

OOPmaxxing is the only way to a job nowadays

[gleaming trellis]

Why use ChatGPT to come up with behavioral answer?

[ornate cliff]

GPT answers sound obvious in how impersonal and generic they are, be careful

[brave forge]

i think using gpt to generate a list of behavioral questions and try to narrow into different areas im weak at could be optimal

i dont need to use it to write it, but coming up with questions and figuring out what id answer are probably useful

[tawdry nacelle]

Have you guys ever had an open internet OA before, like they explicitly state, I'm curious then do they expect people to copy past code?

[polar grail]

depend on the platform

they do OA on

certian plat does keep track if you tab out or not, and if you copy paste or not

[fossil jewel]

yeah you can ask it to generate questions, and answer the q's yourself

[ornate cliff]

Codesignal says you can look up documentation but I never dared try that 🥲

[tawdry nacelle]

I just did on on codility and before hand the company I did the OA before explicitly said it was open internet

I didn’t copy paste but I sure as hell used the internet

[tawdry nacelle]

Codesignal is just trash to begin with

[ornate cliff]

Go off king

[tawdry nacelle]

I was worried they will auto reject

Tbh one of questions was a SQL query question and pretty sure for that one, all answers are gonna look the same anyways

Time to eat and then do OA number 2

[mellow glade]

[autumn iris]

[tawdry nacelle]

Got 2 OAs today so hopefully not

[rustic glacier]

go try different strategy. Focus on connections and networking, youll get a job much easier and easier interviews usually

[tawdry nacelle]

Don’t worry we will not fall for military pipeline

If I can get something, you can

[mellow glade]

i admire you for this 🫡

[quartz wolf]

That advice doesnt work here nobody goes outside

[rustic glacier]

thats why im telling them to start too

once you start ur life will change

for the better

[modest rampart]

what to do when everyone ignores

[rustic glacier]

not talking about sending randos on linkedin messages

thats not networking

go out and talk to people. Talk about ur interests in tech. Go to dev meetups. Theres always something going on on meetup.com with real world events

go there and talk to people connect and explain ur situation and ask if they know someone

and then you keep expanding and growing off those people

yes yes u indeed do have to leave ur house once in a while

[quartz wolf]

Or just make friends lol
