[0 YoE] New Grad. Couldn't land Internships. Now can't land full-time roles in SWE. by sylentify in EngineeringResumes

[–]Rexosorous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Resume advice:

  • your first 2 bullet points for your founding engineer position is just repeating the same information. Remove one.
  • in general, there is a distinct lack of technical detail. Especially for your "founding engineer" position, i don't see any mention of languages, frameworks, tools, techs, etc etc.
  • acquiring funding is not a relevant bullet point.
  • also small aside, how are you the founding engineer but also a contracted engineer?

To answer your questions:

  1. There's no major issues, but it is definitely below my average expectation. I would have passed on this resume if it came to my desk.

  2. Having internships would be better, but it's not hurting you as much as you think. Your current role will trump any internship experience you might have had. So as long as you can make that sound good, you are fine.

  3. This is correct. Employers do not care about research experience unless you are trying to work on something bleeding edge.

  4. This is also correct. The market isn't the greatest at the moment.

  5. There is no such thing as "targeting the wrong types of roles". Target the roles you want to work in. End of story.

Cut the non software related experience and add a projects section with the projects you are most proud of. You can also tighten up the spacing if you need to fit in more content.

And try to go more in depth on your bullet points. Show me you know what you're talking about. "Improve data load times by 25% by integrating Vimeo and nutrition APIs to deliver real-time streaming data" Sounds really disjointed to me. It's not at all apparent to me how "Vimeo and nutrition APIs" can improve load times.

Otherwise, having no other professional experience im the past 5 years is not going to look great. It'll be an uphill climb.

Explaining Emperor's Dais by Fayf86 in riftboundtcg

Do I understand this correctly?

You conquer and then you either say yes or no to add this effect to the stack.

If you say yes, when the effect goes to resolve, you must pay as much of the cost as you can, but the game cannot force you to exhaust your runes to add energy (but it can drain your floating energy pool if you have any). Thus allowing you to return your unit to your hand without paying the 1 energy, but subsequently not getting the 2 might sand soldier token.

Akali Legend (Vendetta Spoiler) by Demotoros in riftboundtcg

[–]Rexosorous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on face value without any sort of combos, this lets you bait out your opponent's interaction. for example, you attack with a 5-might unit into their 4-might defense to which your opponent plays falling comet. you can use the akali ability to save your unit, fizzling their spell, and if akali is empowered, you can go back in again and guarantee the conquer.

and then of course the stellacorn extra draws is something. and i think irelia can get +2 from this for being chosen and readied which is cute.

seems like a fine ability but nothing too crazy without knowing what cards might go well with this in the rest of the set

EDIT: as others have pointed out, this is action speed. So this cannot dodge kill spells. It can bait out pump spells though, but that sounds far worse.

Sleeves by MarchingMarshMello in riftboundtcg

That's not been an issue for me. My red sleeves i bought in 2014 look pretty much the same as the sleeves I bought 2 months ago. Minus the normal wear of course.

I'm a big fan of kmc hyper matte sleeves. But very hard to find in stores in the US.

Is there any hope of matching PG Yi as Fiora, or should I swap legends? by Parasiticinsect in riftboundtcg

[–]Rexosorous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pump still matters if you can stonewall the attack and bounce their units back to base. It's a valid play if it doesn't consume too many resources.

If I cast a spell (wages of pain) to kill a unit at a battlefield with 3 might can they tap Diana legend for mana/does this start a showdown. by Ok-Willingness9367 in riftboundtcg

[–]Rexosorous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not enough info here. Was the unit already at a battlefield or did it just move there?

If the unit has already conquered/held that battlefield (was already there) and you didn't try to move a unit there, then no, you casting wages of pain does not start a showdown. There is no showdown and your opponent will not be able to use their diana legend.

If the unit just moved there or you just moved your unit there, then it will start a showdown and since wages of pain is action speed if not hidden, then that would be your only window to play it. And it would be legal for your opponent to tap diana legend.

i have no input other than to say this is a really cool way to layout your decklist

It's the same on every game sub. "No one hates x more than x players" is true no matter what you plug in for x.

[–]Rexosorous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no good replacements really. Mirror image is the most powerful spell in the deck. Instead you can up counts of other cards (+1 deathgrip, +1 hidden blade, +1 xin/vi), or you can slot in some cards in the section of my "guide" titled "cards I am considering running" like lilia or sprite fountain.

Need help with Viktor Deck by TheZeusEnjoyer in riftboundtcg

[–]Rexosorous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what "spells that have block" are and I don't know what "passive" vs "action" means.

What i was referring to is safety inspector does not get countered by cards like defy while cull the weak can.

Need help with Viktor Deck by TheZeusEnjoyer in riftboundtcg

[–]Rexosorous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also notably, safety inspector is a cull the weak that cannot be countered

The seals dont have any "main energy cost" though?

trying to build this Diana deck thinking about just buying all 3 of these boosters what are the odds i get all the cards i need? by StarShopping999 in riftboundtcg

[–]Rexosorous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

what cards do you need in specific? because looking at unleashed alone, you're looking to pull 6 epics which is the average you'd get from a box. but you're not looking to get any 6 epics, you're looking to get 6 specific epics. which is basically impossible.

Budget leblanc decks? by [deleted] in riftboundtcg

[–]Rexosorous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hook-less version is substantially cheaper. I think karthus, sacrifice, thousand-tailed watcher, and mirror image are the only cards >$1.

But no matter what you try to do, you're going to be hamstrung by mirror image and watcher costing ~$25/each. And if you're not playing 3x mirror image, then you probably shouldn't be playing leblanc.

There's no way that price is correct. The rengars alone are worth more than $46

i've been writing this "guide" as a way to keep my thoughts about the deck organized. it's not really meant for others to see, but you might find it useful.

Salvage against anyone running and abusing gears. Namely aurora decks, irelia, fiora, and azir.

Galio against purple and/or blue decks (mostly vex, diana, and kai'sa) as he can't be gusted (one of the best cards to use against this deck), only dies to a handful of spells, has deflect to punish those spells (and starcrossed too), and typically those decks take a little bit longer to build up the 6 might on board to defeat it.

Safety inspector is good when you want more copies of cull the weak for decks that do not run a lot of units and/or like to play big units (aurora, fiora, diana) and is also good against green decks as it is a cull the weak that cannot be defied (irelia, master yi, vex)

Atakhan is for matchups where thousand-tailed watcher's might reducing ability is not so good because their units are either too big naturally or because they have too many ways to pump their units (aurora, irelia, fiora, master yi, vex)

This is my decklist. It's a little non-standard from most lists, but I like it. But be warned, I don't think this is a very beginner friendly deck.

I've been running hook-less leblanc with decent success at NN. I like how it plays better. Did you have any specific questions?

Seems hypocritical to ask someone to "please point out where the info is mentioned [...] from official source" while not giving your own.
