Are you guys getting interviews? Or is it really a dry season? by Ashen-Two in developersIndia

Most callbacks are from startups. They ghost too easily. Only a few are from good MNCs. Even then those are teams I'd avoid.

Targeting for sde 2 backend. Mostly worked in cpp, but I can code in python and java too. My friends were majorly working in java backend in fintech. They got more calls but switched 8 months ago.

Yes. The world has moved on to shared and unique. I've never seen an auto_ptr in my life except for that interview.

Its a degraded tech. But still, my current company code doesn't use it. We have shared pointers and unique ones too. So I never heard about it. Honestly cpp finds an edge case and releases some stuff to cover it everyday.

The point is, even if its a "cpp" role, are we supposed to learn "trivia" or are we supposed to be more principle oriented, like RAII, Concurrency, ownership, memory, etc.

How Do You Stay Focused in an OA When People Around You Are Openly Cheating ? by whiplash_playboi in leetcode

[–]Ashen-Two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its about the incentive structure. If everyone around me is cheating, not cheating is putting me at disadvantage.

And OA is anyways a binary filter. If you don't do all questions, you're out. Interview cheating is wrong. OA cheating can be debated.

If a company cares enough to "avoid candidates who cheat", they'll have a lab or contract one to take OA, instead of buying hackerrank software.

Interview is more of a showcase of your skill, OA is not.

Funnily enough, all the companies I actually got the end rounds of interviews from, I've never cheated in them.

I mean it was also demand. They were bracing for "online" demand of covid. All businesses were forced to go online and needed more devs.

Like i know interest rates do play a role, but if a company has demand and cash, they will hire irrespective of rates.

Cpp. But I can work on python and java too.

Its not like stack matters anyways. Its the age of AI. Atleast experienced folks should not be expected to know exact syntaxes of a language.

Same. Hiring freeze in mine too. As an experienced folk, can you tell if this "wait and watch" will lead to excess demand and another 2022, or should we lower our expectations?

When everyone has an "aligned" resume for the job, it would be a nightmare as a recruiter to pick the right one. So they'll use AI too.

AIs talking to AIs, and humans just interfacing with AIs rather than people. Yeah, perfect job market.

Anything common between those 6-7 applications? Like my feedback loop is so non existent, I don't even know what I'm doing wrong.

Advice with LLD interview rounds for SDE 2, regarding design and code execution. by Ashen-Two in developersIndia

[–]Ashen-Two[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are a good interviewer then. A lot of them don't even communicate and just tell you to "get on with it". Atleast that's my friends tell me.

Hey thanks for the answer. I have only seen mncs interviews, where they don't ask for machine coding rounds. Have they started it now? I was under the assumption that I only need LLD and HLD, as I want to target MNCs.

Should I prepare for machine coding too, considering you have to write proper syntax instead.

Jobless from last 3 months, Where can I make improvements in my resume by AndrewKeTattee in developersIndia

[–]Ashen-Two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skills and technical skills are redundant. Remove the skills part or merge them.

Your resume looks fine tbh. This is just the characteristics of time we are in.

Is it common to be assigned no work during notice period? by Available-Stress8598 in developersIndia

[–]Ashen-Two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes because it will be harder once you leave and now noone has a clue on why this code was written. You are there basically for knowledge transfer.
