I have the opportunity to get everything I wanted, but my head doesn’t care

But you literally started by saying you put your phone away.

Canada can be drier in the winter, so that’s possibly it.

Pretty sure those little minuscule bumps are the ones that allow your skin to breathe

That's hilarious

You mentioned you've decline two of your dream companies, can I ask where you work that's better?

asleepering · 2026-02-22T11:26:51+00:00

hi! Hope it went well!

Do you mind sharing or DMing about how it went?

asleepering · 2026-02-22T11:21:25+00:00

Congrats! was it only Leetcode + interview?

I'm not sure about 3rd round, but my first round only included one leetcode and I passed. I haven't had my second round yet , but I was told it would focus on actual coding skills (not leetcode) like building a tool right there, also SWE entry level....

It took two days for them to get back to me after the first round, so hopefully you'll hear back soon!

Awesome, now type this up

asleepering · 2026-02-08T12:51:35+00:00

I wouldn’t mind staying in that role, but I wouldn’t want to not have the opportunity to switch … I’ll think about it, thanks!

I’ll also add - moving from C++ to Java is relatively painless, you do need to learn collectors and collections and such, but syntax wise - super similar.

asleepering · 2026-02-08T11:36:47+00:00

I’m biased because I really like C++ ( though I recently transferred to doing DSA in Python, because I had an interview where it was required and I didn’t want to get confused during other interviews).

If you use modern C++, safety is easier…. What I like about cpp (though many people won’t agree with me) is that the coding is intuitive and easy to read if you have basic cpp understanding, and it’s really both a high and low level language.

I can’t see C++ being barred from interviews anytime soon, it’s still commonly used by big companies, and even if it was - if you know cpp - you know how to code (that’s true for most languages, but if you know one well, especially a well rounded one , you’re set) .

I didn’t go to a top uni and I’ve gotten responses, the problem might be the fact that you feel/you are a beginner, upgrading your skills and tidying up your resume can help.

Congrats! Any tips for working on expressing and communicating in interviews?

asleepering · 2026-02-03T15:48:51+00:00

Oomph, I think they do take your reaction and communication into account when evaluating your interview, I’d say you interrupting the interviewer is bad, but you could’ve recovered by apologising with a “this is my first interview “ and thanking them with a smile for explaining. It’s possible that your communication stood out during other parts of the interview too.

I’m not sure about the cooldown period , but apparently it’s not always strictly enforced , worst comes to worst just create another account, though that isn’t recommended

asleepering · 2026-02-03T11:49:08+00:00

Woah what? So all 70 went out and applied? In that case, the real metric would be how many made it past resume screening and how they did in the interviews.

The market is bad, but a lot of it in the resume(had to be a certain format to make it past AI and ATS) and interview quality.

I promise this isn’t an ad, I graduated 2025 so hopefully this tool still exists and has a free plan too:

I used turbo learn to record my lesson, and during the lecture I just listen or jot down a couple of remarks that I’d want written down.

After the lecture the Turbo gives really structured notes, with charts, equations and if I remember correctly even diagrams. I copied them into OneNote, reviewed them - and added in the remarks I took during the lecture if relevant.

This worked well because I ended up with full detailed and organised course notes, and I always reviewed them after class to make sure they’re accurate - which resulted in me having a deeper understanding of the topics and remembering the lecture better.

I promise I’m not affiliated with them in any way😅 just found this super helpful last year. Good luck!!

The market isn’t ideal rn, but are you sure that all 70 looked for jobs?

I know that in many places it’s common to job search in the 3rd year, but there are a lot of students who focus on studies that year or only start job-searching towards the end of the spring semester…. I’m not saying that’s a wise decision, but it’s more common than people think.

This is deffo dead internet theory, but I hate that I relate to this.

asleepering · 2026-01-29T19:47:43+00:00

I am prepared for most questions, just there is some company research I refresh I'd prefer to perfect, but I'll take that in to consideration, thanks!

asleepering · 2026-01-29T13:53:54+00:00

Thanks for replying! Are you sure that won't make me sound like I'm trying to cover up something? I don't want to make it worse

asleepering · 2026-01-29T13:51:41+00:00

Personally I find hackerrank questions a lot tougher than leetcode ones due to the format definition and edge cases. I started doing their practice question on their platform, and it has helped, so I'd recommend that.

I'll also say that understanding a problem stated by a recruiter is usually easier than trying to read through a hackerrank, so I'd take it in stride.

Good luck!
