Is it is scammy as it looks?

What exactly do they have you do, are you making projects or solving l33tcode questions?

>>106267214 (OP)
I seen anons here congratulate some dude on getting a job offer in a previous thread and it was absolutely fucking disgusting. You stupid fucking niggers should hate and seethe at anyone who gets hired.

>>106267358
what is your purpose in life? your purpose in life is to be in utwg daily posting dale clips. your life is nothing. you serve ZERO purpose. you should kill yourself NOW.

How do you guys feel about being unemployed? Honestly. I kind of wish I could just quit and neet up somehow. It seems like suicide though.

It's nice for a time, but even if you've got a years salary saved up, and low expenses, you'll be bored shitless after a few months of having nothing to focus on.

>>106269273
IDK, I'd probably work on some memey engine decomp project and figure that'd keep me busy for at least a few years. But true. Just feel perpetually like shit 24/7 being a wage cuck. I sometimes wish I could go back to being a kid, maybe go back to college and get some meme degree. IDK.

Nope. Sorry JEET, you're not getting those fuckin' points off me.

>>106269273
>you'll be bored shitless after a few months of having nothing to focus on
That's your own choice. Plenty of things to focus on if you want to focus on something.

>>106269241
I was pretty depressed and bored for a while. Now I just work on my own projects which helps fill the day

I hate having both perfectionism and instant gratification trait. Im 24 and i have so much chronic pain all over my tendons and joints from lack of physical activity.
Shit makes me constantly planning out excessively each day and writing my thoughts down on Word instead of just doing the things i want to do

I want to make stuff but i want them to be done right here this instant, but i also dont want to actually do the job, but i would hate myself too if a supposed 1 day task gets dragged to 5 days or more.

I blame the world for feeling like i only have 4 hours of free time each day to do whatever i want because i run errands and do chores and exercise as well, turns out im just making excuses.

Ive been like this ever since covid.

I do have work experience and in my country we work from 8 am to 8 pm, having 4 hours of commute, the job itself has lots of tasks outside of the description, tight deadlines, all for minimum wage if you have less than 3 YOE

I even stopped listening to music and video games and it didn’t bring me that much clarity. I dont watch gameplay clips. I dont watch movies and shows like i used to. And i have given up on reading novels.

(1/2)

>>106269758
I envy people who can just do things automatically without having to think so much. They would code for 4 hours, go out with their friends, play games, go to the gym, do volunteer work, and generally happy and loved by their family. They understood concept fast (or maybe they dont but they dont care) and can say themselves "woah, i know how to solve other people's problem and i have money, ill use this money to go out on weekends."

Meanwhile my adhd ass would bounce between the same apps and sites for hours, open my IDE for an hour, then go back to stupid chores.

Being unemployed is poison of the soul. I used to dislike the idea of doing volunteer work but nowadays I'd do anything for a chance to get out of the house so i dont get called lazy useless bum by my parents. I used to think money are used to get PC peripherals, shirts, shoes, books, anime keychains, but now i know money are best spent for experience like going out to the arcade or actually going to a con with your bros. Used to think this was a meme for the longest time but it's not.

Honestly it's sickening

Wasted my chance to form a study group or something back in uni. I genuinely learned faster by having a friend to guide me for 2 hours than following a 20 hour tutorial video, but i didn't realize this

Making a generation of people "learn to code" in order to create systems to steal their jobs is one of the most effective tricks I've seen in my life. The new one is "learn to work with AI - it'll make you more productive!" Sure, no problem boss. I'd love to help build the infernal kingdom that will sacrifice me (but surely not you, an irreplaceable genius) at first opportunity!

>>106270489
Its basically selling tractors to farmers anon.

should I even bother applying to positions that are 2 weeks old?

It could be worse. Imagine coming from still established Australian unis that have had reputation scandals so their shame hangs over you. I'm thinking of a certain Queensland place if you get my drift

There's just no jobs.

>get an email to setup an interview

My last interview went pretty well, but I think I didn't seem too sure of myself. All their questions were basically one sentence, without any context, which made it quite hard to reply. Looking back, I know what I could've done better. I haven't done an interview in 3 years. The issue I have is that if they ask me a question, or to code something, I know how to do it, but I just shutdown or something. It's like, if someone asks you to translate a word from another language, you know what it means, but you just can't bring it into words. Any advice on how to improve this?

>>106271154

probably not though, it's literally a hammer, which isn't a wrench or anything like that, so you learn to swing the hammer, or watch others swing the hammer while you stay unemployed. You can either be the one building, or be the one the builder pities for not learning to build.
>>106271130
not for long, everyone is making middle management learn Buildr and Replit and shit, don't need the indians at all now.

>>106271172
you need practice expanding on your answers, a lot of people ask short questions to see how you'll be able to give more than just a simple short answer.
>>106271271
temp tech agencies are good at reformatting resumes, see if you can get one to do it for you, their goal is to get you hired to make them money, and they put the bottom line up front to get you hired.
>>106271557
nothing wrong with it, and no shame. go with God anon.
>>106271981
If you're white, it means you can think in abstract thought, and figure out how to work in the new AI-powered world and use your knowledge to finish the last 20% that AI doesn't do well right now. there's a few asians who can think this way too (not indians though) but if you can figure it out you'll be fine.

>>106272598
Well I do expand on my answers, but I answer more in a brainstorming way, instead of just directly summing up solutions. I hired people myself, and when people just immediately sum up stuff it makes me think that they just memorized stuff, instead of coming up with solutions on their own. Now I hired locally, and now I'm applying to US jobs so maybe the expectations are completely different. When they ask me something, I give the answer, and sometimes if applicable go off on a tangent on how I recently applied this in an open source contribution or something, which is public and verifiable.

>>106272598
I'm Asian, but am Chinese and not Indian.

Incidentally, of the three (non-full time) paid jobs I've ever worked in my life, all of the hiring managers were also Asian. And thankfully the last one is related to CS.

>>106272654
that's good. just practice with a friend or something to get over the freezing up.
>>106272685
sorry to hear, ymmv in that case. not surprised you rely on in-group preference like most chinese but hey i won't hate the player

>>106269771
Get some attention meth.

>>106269771
you could use pharmas like anon mentioned, but here's another idea. I read a paper once about someone who time-boxed their activities and started committing 30 minutes for each task, then 1 hour, then 90 minutes, 2 hours, 3 hours etc until eventually, over time, they overcame some (but not all) of their severe adhd issues with work. basically forcing yourself to practice by time-boxing your tasks and sticking to it, using a timer with an alarm, trying to push past that time when you practice.

Should I just cheat on online assessments? feels like no matter how hard you try if you can't get the perfect answer you will just get fucked, and I've heard of a lot of people that fuck up during an interview with a real human being and just because they could communicate well they were able to get the job.

>>106272993
i would, they're just being checked by computer unless it's a super specific question a manger wants to look at. but take note of anything you wouldn't be able to quickly answer in an interview and study up on it

Thoughts on Pathrise/Landidly?

They're services where you pay people to remake your resume and find you a job. They claim to be entirely free until you find a job, once you do you pay them $200 a month for 2 years.

I graduated last year with a CS degree, no internships and can't find a job, considering using them.

is indeed broken for anyone else?

>>106273251
works over here

>>106273139
That's a scam. I dunno if you're in the US but here there's tons of tech temp agencies who will find you a job for free because they charge fees from the hiring company on top of your salary, and they'll retool your resume for you free of charge.

>>106271154
Nothing wrong with moving to a new location for a job.

>>106273139
>considering using them.
Don't be retarded anon, indeed already has resume writing services and that is a one time payment. $200 a month for 2 years means you paid $4,800 bucks for a resume. If you go for it you deserved to get fleeced.

Pain comes from desire and desire comes from aspiration. Nirvana is when you cease desire and the only way to do that is to cease aspiration.

>>106273317
Which of these temp agencies would you recommend? I'm really desperate for a tech job, doesn't even need to be SWE. Yes I'm a US citizen.

>>106273446
They retool your resume but they also FIND you the job and mass apply for you. $5k to find a job seems like a good deal especially when I can't find a job on my own

>>106275480
If you don't work you're subhuman. A man's wealth is a direct measure of his worth to the world and therefore to God, since God provides to those who work. Maybe you should try getting a job if you're so sad and pathetic?

What's the difference between leetcode and neetcode?

>>106276200
neetcode isn't for jeets, niggers, normies, and jews but employers respect it all the same.

>>106276200
/pol/ refugees are too brittle to use "normie" websites so someone basically ripped all the leetcode questions and put them on his own site, so instead of your "progress" being tracked by some random retard HN poster for ???? marketing data reasons, it's tracked by some random retard 4chan poster for ???? glowie-wannabe reasons.

>>106271130
I would literally work for Indian wages or less while doing better work and not requiring a visa and I'm not even offered the opportunity. They just assume that I want $420k per year.

I hate the perfect personality for building my own product except the part of actually getting users.

>>106276228
That's what I'm finding after graduating, they must assume since I have a degree, I would want more $$$ but I just want to work and applied even knowing what base salary is.

>>106272598
>temp tech agencies
Is this some kind of deradicalization op you guys fomented while drinking and taking home your $150k yearly with benefits? Temp tech agencies are worse than useless. They will give you call center work while you have F500 experience.

>>106276319
>>106276228
What specific sub-field of programming/tech are you guys going into? If it isn't closer to the hardware, then no fucking doubt the job market for it will be saturated to shit.

I'm at 95 job applications since July 5th and I have received 1 (one) INITIAL interview in that time. I've got 42 straight rejections and the rest I was more or less ghosted so far.
Maybe a dozen or so are too new to have been realistically seen by anyone yet.

>>106276557
I'm actually writing some data analytics program right now to track this and to get averages of the data and then to visualize it for my self. I want to know what the actual rate is for myself and what type of jobs/companies have better response rate plus time of application to response.

>>106276569
I would think you might have trouble getting recent data at a fast enough rate for that without having a lot of people report to you.

>>106276585
It's also mostly to see averages. So far, the average time from applying to time to response (If there is one) is about 1.5 months with a 0.15 rate of response to no response over the 4 months I have been applying.
It's not perfect though and I still need to work on functions to see causation (Because I am also adjusting data based on resume, job type, locations etc.) but in terms of the averages I like to see it ain't good.

>>106269771
>experience like going out to the arcade or actually going to a con

>>106276603
That's interesting. Usually I get a no in about a week and no response otherwise. Of course, My applications are just now starting to hit 1.5 months so maybe it's just that I haven't been waiting long enough yet.
The one interview I got they actually responded the day after I applied.

>>106276228
Blame your local wagies for creating the lazy stereotype of working only a few hours per week.

>>106277270
I'm a brainlet so this is probably wrong but isn't this just 10^3 - 9^3 (729). e.g The exterior volume subtracted by the interior volume would give you the perimeter? You're right that it's a dumb fucking question and they should ask something like "how do you start debugging a crash in C++" or whatever your tech stack is

Don't call us, we'll contact you.

>>106277477

Mentality issue. When I found my last job, I had an impending credit card payment due, but I didn’t get paid until a day after the due date. Guess what? The bank’s system crashed that day, and they postponed the payment deadlines after that.
Just be positive and relax.

>>106277743
>I didn’t get paid until a day after the due date.
The payments usually have a 1-3 day processing time. You can still make a payment on the day before you're expected to be paid and you'll be just fine.

>yeah yeah im still practicing doe!! Im gonna make a couple new projects pinky promise
>she just smiled "understood, we'll follow you up to the team soon. I hope you are what we need."
>call ends
>mfw

So the point applying for a position means i need to at least have 2 projects in said position... i added bunch of numbers too in my resume not just my general responsibilities. I hope i dont end this year in a bad note just like the last previous ones.

>>106279800
If i didnt have that interview call id probably still has "technical writer" on my resume until december, or even next year. Fucking stupid mistake honestly. It said technical writer based on the certification i get back in 2023, and i thought it was no biggie

>>106279822
i guess the remaining 49 queued jobs might as well lost at this point because of this mistake.

>>106269241
It was fun for a while, but now I feel like I have to constantly be improving myself because I'm not getting any real world experience to put on my resume or mention in interviews. I guess you could call it anxiety. If I was retired, rather than just unemployed, I would be having the time of my life.
Well, time to go back to learning Elastic shit.

I feel like the industry has gone from "you don't need a degree to work as a coder" back to "if you don't have a degree: fuck off", except worse because now its not just a degree but a bachelors if not a masters

>>106277477
Anon you are hired…as the janny

Which IT related degree should I choose if I want to stay away from programming but also have job security?

Currently looking at either Cybersecurity or a more general Computer Systems & Networks degree.

I'm thinking that at least Cybersecurity will be safe from offshoring because of security clearance requirements, but worry that it'll get me passed over for more general jobs in sysadmin, networking etc compared to the more general degree.

>>106281627
MBA

>>106280988
I don't want to work at companies that ask these kinds of questions anyway. The best job interview I ever had for tech was asking me to discuss my experience with particular programming languages and how I would solve explicit tech problems they had. Didn't have to write a line of code just talked about it for like 30min straight until they were convinced I wasn't bullshitting.

>>106269273
>you'll be bored shitless after a few months of having nothing to focus on.
I had trouble finding a job for a year (in accounting), but I was mountain biking. Going to the park most days. It was great! Downfall is my area the weather is bad most of the year. So I would suggest outdoor activities and moving to a place with 9 months of warmer weather before you neet.

I'd like to start biking but my area is way too hilly and I'm a fatass

even if I had the cardio to do it, last time I rode my bike the cranks felt like they were constantly about to snap

>>106282172
just keep at it, man. I think you need 2-3 months to start getting used and feel the effects of the exercise.

>>106282203
like i said, even if my cardio weren't ruined by smoking, the grade of the incredibly stupid streets means I'm probably damaging my cranks and gears every time i go up a hill

many years ago when i was fitter i did actually have a bike where the crank entirely shore off under load, straight hick lathed the (normally nominally square) central post into a smooth cylinder

>>106282252
then go elsewhere. can you go ride the bike at a park or some shit? can you find a cheap/free fit training/gym?

>>106283039
im not the original anon who was complaining about being bored and/or fat i just took the opportunity to complain about my city's very dumb layout and road grades. i do NOT keep active but if i CHOSE to i would take up kayaking as that would be the most convenient outdoor vehicle based exercise

>>106281627

DataAnnotation is just another scam data aggregation company.

There are some other intersting weird tech companies that are straight up scams, promising training then hiring onto some other company and if you don't "make it through" the training they charge you for it.

>>106286482
It's probably attempting to figure out how good you are at problem solving and noticing nuance. The most basic bitch answer is probably 60, like you said, because the cube has 6 faces and each face is made up of 10 cubes, so 6 * 10 = 60. I don't think that's correct though, what you're actually counting with the 60 answer is how many small cube faces are painted, but that's not the same as the number of painted cubes. The small cubes in the corners all have 3 sides painted, then all the small cubes on an edge but NOT in a corner have 2 sides painted. By just counting painted sides you're basically counting all these cubes more than once.

>>106286496
What if i build full systems fit with matlab and simulink project files?

>>106286482
>>106286610
Also I noticed I wrote 60 but was thinking of 600 actually. Each face of the big cube is made of 10x10 small cubes, so 100 each.

>>106286610
Yeah I thought about that but he said how many *cubes* to paint not how many mini cube faces. Maybe he's expecting you to ask for clarification before giving an answer which is actually a great idea because not asking questions is usually what kills people's performance.

>>106286697
Yes, asking questions usually isn't bad, as long as you don't go overboard and basically ask the interviewer to solve whatever question he gave you in the first place.

I refuse to waste my time doing leetcode as a frontend engineer.

>>106277270
>>106286610
>>106277477
>>106286482
Og anon here. The answer is 488. The number of faces being painted is obviously 600, but there are cubes that have two faces being painted and cubes(corners) with three faces being painted, so you have to account for that to find how many actual cubes are being painted.
i actually managed to solved this problem in one method, then this guy asked me to solve it another method, then a third method. Also no calculators allowed just cuz. I got lost halfway on the second and third, needless to say i didnt get the job.

>>106286966
Yeah, 488 is correct. You get 600 in "naive" counting but have 8 corner cubes that are overcounted twice and then 8 more which are overcounted once on each edge. So the answer is 600 - 8 * 2 - 12 * 8 = 488

Why are you all complaining? Look at all these jobs openings, they just can't find qualified applicants

>interview question is just designing a solution to a problem happening in the company that the interviewer doesn't know how to solve it
I bet these fuckers just do this a bunch of candidates and then they get the best design decisions and implement it.
The problem's design is solved in a good way for free and they avoid having to hire an extra headcount.

This is a somewhat old "brainteaser" "google interview" type question -- the REAL answer is not a number. You're supposed to derive on the spot how to do it with a cube of any size to prove you're a le 10x engineer who le dreams in code.

The "another method" prodding was to try to get you to spit out an algorithm instead of the actual numeric answer

>>106287904
in your degree you should have:
a) done internships and performed well enough for a return offer
b) networked with people who could put you forward for jobs

if you did neither of them then you wasted your money on a degree

>Use bitwise operators and some clever XoR shenanigans, and some other shit that I remembered from lurking here during the leetcode era of hiring.
>Technical interviewer likes most of my answers (Prodded me to do better on a different question regarding a custom data structure).

Your projection is noted, incel. HR is essential for an organization’s smooth operation and delivers real value to shareholders. Their interview process is designed to screen out candidates like you, who often struggle with poor soft skills and fail to handle professional interactions effectively. It is good thing that AI made your despicable kind obsolete.

What a fucking joke. How can I avoid interviews that ask these ridiculous leetcode questions?

>>106286478

And yet they believe in reincarnation

Finished my cs degree at start of the year, tried applying for more software related jobs, no luck there, ghosted after few interviews, automated replies. Few hundred applications.
Lowered the bar, applied for retail jobs, no luck there as well, I hid my education on my resume for retail jobs.
Recently out of nowhere got interview for on site IT Specialist/Admin, passed it flawlessly, got the offer, I'm starting soon, being unemployed really wreaked havoc to my self-esteem, but still I really did want to get a more software related job. Don't get me wrong I will do my best, but it still feels like I could do something more interesting, but didn't get chance to do so.

>>106290343
Apply only on the companies website. There are far more listings on the company websites.

Consider working a retail management job since you have a degree. Consider going officer in the military. IT will still take you so helpdesk is the start of the career there.

>>106290486
Taking care of family. Also if its only a year you can claim training for the job you are applying for. The hard part is putting that on the resume and getting through the filter before the interview. The real issue during the interview is not the fib but the backup where you can say with confidence that you have educational background in whatever you learned. At that point its called fluffing.

a friend of mine didn't get his contract extended after the company where he worked was bought up. his new boss really didn't like him, and admittedly he's very opinionated and loud, but he knows his shit and was one of the few senior employees still working there (i think like he was there close to a decade). of course now that he left a couple of clients already canceled their contracts because all the experienced people left and all they got now is a bunch of idiots. they might got soft skills but they sure as fuck can't actually help clients with their problems

soft skills are overrated. total HR death.

>>106290486

Shit last week i had the same experience, interviewer no.2 was insisting that a system design thing i did was wrong, and i should’ve done it without a kafka queue. He looked so confident and derailed my otherwise great round with how wrong i was.i went home looked at system design primer and i was actually doing it right. What an asshole

Lmao i didn't know that, that's crazy

>>106290867

anon, you seem like a perfect fot for HR at some tech company.

I got fired from my retail job cause someone ratted me out for taking CRT and older game consoles from our recycle area to fix up and preserve. One person took a fucking minifridge and everyone know and were like "well you are rehoming that stuff and saving it from a landfill", but I returned everything and was ready to quit anyways after seven years of mental shit and just generally a bad time. I have my degree in information systems, but no professional experience and one person mentioned that I was a hard sale for a role they got starting out without experinece decades ago. I'll probably just kill myself once I run out of money since I'm just overall toxic it seems and destined for unhappiness. At least the people I worked with felt bad I got fired over that and missed me, but that is about the only positive thing socially to have found out. I can't even get a support role that pays $20/hr it seems.

>>106293526
>got fired from goodwill for stealing

>>106293613
Best buy actually. I got permission from my managers cause they were like "sure", but someone that quit tattled on stuff and apparently blabbed about it afterwards. But yeah, at least I made amends and I was just so tired from being yelled at by customers and talked down to by the newer managers that it just became a huge mental issue to give myself some purpose. I deserved what happen, but also, based on interviews I've had, just working there was enough to be a turn off from employers so I gave up. I'm just venting really and deserve to be laughed at anyways so people can at least think "well I'm better than this loser".

>>106294014
Here is how it works, they need to run it on a newspaper, then post it online, they make the online post have almost impossible requirements then they tell government "Hey I can't find a single American that can do all this, can I look outside the country" since they met all the requirements to advertise and consider Americans first they go to some random agency in India that also is running loopholes for h1b visas by submitting the same person like 100 times, they then say that yes the Indian guy that can barely code on Java and will most likely vibe code everything actually has 20 years of experience with C++, the company takes it at face value and hires them.

After that the CEO can boast that they fired 100+ engineers that were making 6 figures each and hired 10 Foreigners that will lick their boots so they don't get fire and each one will be making half what their previous engineers were making, then the quarter earning shows numbers up, CEO looks good, then when the product starts becoming shit because of the mediocre team the CEO either gets fired or steps down and collects their severance and move to the next company to enshittify

If only I had a referral.

>>106294618
No, because it was against store policy either way and I was suicidally depressed to the point of not caring what happened because "if this is my life then I would rather not live anyways". Point is, I shouldn't of done it but I owned up to it when corporate found out and returned everything because I insisted on it myself. The guy was actually shocked that I wanted to do so. Honestly, I forgot that other people took stuff. I was just reported because the twenty year older supervisor no one liked reported me to the main office. No excuse, but I really should just move on since it has been a year later and it felt like a bad relationship that I wanted out of for years but was to scared to do so. Anywho, I'll stop ranting about my retarded actions and just pray that everyone here will find the job they want and have a happy life.

Do not NEET, that shit is no joke. When you NEET view it as suicide, you are never coming back into society. Now, I'm not speaking from personal experience but I had something similar and I also seen another person who did actually go NEET.
I dropped out of uni, and ever since I am unable to focus in a traditional "class" setting anymore (mostly because I figured out school is bullshit and I can learn on my own, which I prefer). Becoming a NEET is very similar, you will never be able to get a job again or function in society once you get used to that lifestyle.

Do companies often pay for the in-person interview expenses or is it like a "fuck off poorfag" situation?

>>106294047
Newspapers might unironically become popular again since anglo countries are hellbent on killing the internet.

>aieeee i have to upload my ID to use a porn site!!!
what does that have to do with challenging job listing sites where you already upload not just your name but your full address, phone number, entire work and scholastic history, a photo of yourself, and probably credit card information too

>>106297796
no

This input reading meme is from fucking Elden Rings threads.

If you're in the metro area, generally they won't pay for anything except maybe the cost of parking and taking you to lunch. If the job is far enough away that it would require relocating to work that job, if they're coming after you, then usually they'll pay the expenses for you to come interview. If you're not all that special, just some regular guy who might be able to fill a mid level position, then they're unlikely to pay for you to attend an in-person interview.

Can you solve this on the spot /utwg/?

Given two sorted arrays nums1 and nums2 of size m and n respectively, return the median of the two sorted arrays.

The overall run time complexity should be O(log (m+n)).

What kind of retarded ass humiliation ritual shit is this? How kafkaesque.

It is precisely because they believe in reincarnation that they feel no guilt crushing in in this life.

i dunno no shit bout no bigO notation type a CHIT!
and I'd gooogle it, cuz I dont know python syntax but there's gotta be some built in function or library that'll help us at least partly

Is getting into CS grad school actually as easy as the "go to grad school for a Master's if you couldn't secure an internship during undergrad" advice suggests?

I'm a rising senior and I'm about to start a research project with a professor I cold-emailed. But would only starting research in senior fall hurt my chances?

A lot of the CS grad programs I'm looking at "strongly recommend" or even require the GRE, which is basically the SAT 2. Already been looking at that, and am probably going to take it late September (and again in October if I bomb the September one).

My GPA is around exactly 3.6, but my schedule next year's so jam-packed it could very well dip below into the 3.5 range.

>>106298294
// findMedianSortedArrays computes the median between nums1 and nums2 in O(log (m+n)).
func findMedianSortedArrays(nums1, nums2 []int) float64 {
// TODO: fix me
}


Then just ask for AI to complete.

>>106298294
Combining two sorted arrays is expected knowledge if you learned sorting algorithms that use decimation. You stop combining the two sorted arrays at the median point, with a conditional for even/odd m+n size.

>>106298294
this shit is gay. if someone asked me this in an interview i wouild spit on them and walk out

>>106298452
Combining arrays is linear, retard. The problem statement asks for a logarithmic solution.

>>106298484
In interviews you give a working solution first, then you openly discuss with them how to achieve their trap stretch goal.

>>106298529
>just ignore the problem statement and give them something arbitrary that doesn't meet the requirements
No wonder you're jobless.

>>106298553
This, the follow up question is actually how to solve it O(log(min(n,m))

>>106288222
>Even PetSmart does it.
Is that true? How?

>>106298553
>try to tackle entire problem
>chance of no solution, interview rambling
>give a solution
>then tackle the run time constraint
>even if you fail to achieve run time target in interview time they still remember you had something working

>>106290343
Why hide your education for retail jobs?

>>106298614
Yes me as the interviewer will remember you as the person who does not understand the concept of requirements and wasted my time with something irrelevant.
Might as well have hardcoded the examples in the function body and called that a partial solution.

I cant stop jerking off and scrolling bros it's actually kiling me

>>106298598
PetSmart introduced a grooming service, and their job listings encourage people to apply for the training and tools to le kickstart your ebin pet grooming career. But this is dumb and a trap for retards because
>the cost of the training is only "subsidized" and still comes off your paycheck
>the tools still belong to petsmart and you're on the hook for "renting" them
>if you dont pass probation you're on the hook for the rest of the cost of training
>petsmart's grooming services are not even very good and basically consist of hosing your dog down and maybe brushing it once
>you dont need a license or any shit like that to groom pets anyway

they also like to scam people on uniforms, in that you have to buy them but they're more expensive than an equivalent set of polo and slacks

So has anyone figured out how to get a job yet

>>106298817
Suck dick.

this is your best friend if you dont intend to work

>>106298817
I recently was recommended to stop applying to anything online and just try to randomly meet people who can get you a job.
I'm starting to think that my time would be better spent buying lottery tickets than applying for work.

>>106298904
It sounds like they're trying to hamper your efforts, keep applying to jobs but do go to tech events.

>>106295498
My guess how you'd handle this is to just program your AI to avoid hurtboxes and do combos at the player but I got no clue. I know someone who's programmed a few fighting games, I really should ask how it works.

>>106295498
how the fuck do people play this garbage

>>106298904
They're right. Form real connections with people irl and the jobs will come to you. Former colleagues and employers recently caught wind of my resignation, and I already have multiple jobs lined up. So it feels like I'm just taking a break.

Attended some online course about learning C#
After a week one participant already got hired
He had 30 years of experience already

>the AI bubble is about to burst
>just two more weeks

Engineerchads how are we FEELING?

We will be considered for junior dev positions soon!

>>106299720
2 more weeks!! lets fucking gooooo!!!

its insane to me people still flock to tech and enroll in cs programs when the market is completely dead
even if they sent literally all the h1bs back tomorrow entry level would still be competitive

>>106299975
You grifting nigger developers get what you fucking deserve.

I got a touhou-themed gamepad project consisting of a kicad pcb and 3d printable case on my github. The pcb has yuyuko on it
Is it okay?

>>106299975
I'm personally mad about it because I am a type of person who is actually really interested in tech and was interested in it when I picked my degree.

>>106300091
everyone says that cope

>>106300091

You're niggers

>>106298904
going out takes money

I've been wasting all my time applying normally when I could be applying in the category with people with disabilities due to autism and then only needing to compete with actual retards.

Networking is pretty much dead these days too. I think you're "best off" just finding something else to do and figuring out how to live with little to no income.

i remember doing this leetcode, I know where to start but there is no shot I would get the indices right on a live interview

Being jobless is really gettin to me bros...

You're best off learning Mandarin and moving to China. At least some of you guys have tech skills, unlike me, so you'll be okay there. Plus you get to live in a country that isn't trying to commit suicide by importing all the worst people in the world.

Yes, AI is killing jobs:
https://archive.is/wftHu
>At Amazon, which has eliminated 27,000 jobs since 2022, chief executive Andy Jassy has been not been shy about predicting further cuts, and Salesforce’s Marc Benioff has boasted that AI is already doing 30 to 50 per cent of the company’s workload.

The US government seems to be slowly hiring again, even though the hiring freeze isn't officially over until October.
The IRS is hiring for some seniors, it looks like.

Include the jobs.now website in the next OP.

No one's actually getting jobs from that site, it just helps stop H1Bs from gaining PERM status.

You never know, if a pajeet survives there with how little work he does and he's paid so much, would you refuse having the same conditions?

>>106303880
Of course not, but the reason I would never get that job is because I'm not a jeet, and the middle managers that do hiring love sycophants. Assuming that the company isn't already skinsuited by a Jeet CEO.

I hate that there's no jobs, except for maybe ICE, and then my job security (and possibly life security) is determined solely by who's in office.

how in the world do i find another job if my skill set is specific to my current work?
they only use internal tools and that's all i've been working on for 5 years. wtf do i do? they're cutting my team in oct. i have no idea how to find another position or what to even apply to

>>106304345
wtf does your fucking job desription say you faggot.
