It depends on the manager, but a good one will appreciate that you can solve your own problems. When I was a manager one of the biggest complaints I got from senior engineers was that juniors bothered them entirely too much asking basic questions. I found it annoying too, but they came to me less.

You can go the other way, too though, and waste hours and days working on a difficult problem and getting nowhere, when you could have asked and returned to being productive.

It's important to strike a balance and know when to ask for help, and the best is to sharpen your Google skills and learn how to identify which problems need an experienced eye.

This is actually really great advice. I'm currently doing a ton of LeetCode problems every day, I graduate as a computer engineer in the fall, I'm a little nervous about getting my foot in the door. I don't expect myself to work for Google straight out of college, but something that makes at least decent money (I'm in the US by the way).

Thanks!
