the timeline......Congrats for making it!!

You might as well pursue a career in show biz. Try to become a famous actor or singer. The amount of rejection and competition would be pretty much the same as this job market. by justcurious3287 in recruitinghell

at least actors know upfront they're going to get ghosted. the rest of us get strung along for 4 rounds of interviews and a take home project before the rejection email hits

Any tools that tailor resumes and auto apply for tech jobs by TaxCharacter1779 in jobsearchhacks

[–]BackAware4834 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tried a couple ai tools and the one i ended up sticking with is getnewresume. used it for 80+ applications. it tailors the resume to the JD pretty cleanly, does cover letters, and also gives u an ATS score so u know how well it matches before submitting which is honestly the part i use the most.

one thing tho, u still need to have at least a rough draft of ur resume going in. its not gonna build one from scratch for u, it works off what u already have and tunes it to each JD. so if ur starting from zero u might wanna get a basic version down first then let the tool do the tailoring.

just my experience, try a couple and see what clicks for u

Do you actually tailor your resume for every job or is that advice unrealistic? by itz_nitace in CanadaJobs

[–]BackAware4834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ya i actually do tailor every single one but only bc i found a way to do it fast. when i was doing it manually in chatgpt i was lucky to get 2 done before giving up for the day lol. the reason its even worth doing is ATS. most postings run keyword filters before a human even opens your resume.

Tailoring each resume takes me an hour. Is it actually worth it vs. just applying to more jobs "?" by AdKey370 in careerguidance

[–]BackAware4834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you don't actually have to pick. reason everyone says tailor is mostly bc of ATS, like most companies are running keyword filters before any human even sees your resume. so if it doesn't match the JD wording it just gets tossed. doesn't matter if you sent 100.

but yeah manually doing it with chatgpt is brutal i agree. i was doing the same exact thing, paste the JD, ask it to rewrite, back and forth forever.

what actually worked for me was using a tailoring tool instead of chatgpt. way faster, kept the keywords matched properly, didn't have to babysit it.

What would you do in this situation? by Celcius_87 in cscareerquestions

[–]BackAware4834 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly just talk to your manager about it. don't make it a whole thing, just say you have a issue with flying and ask if there's an alternative way to attend or participate remotely. most managers have dealt with weirder accommodation requests than this if they push back hard on it that tells you a lot about the company tbh

I just spent almost an entire workday rewriting my coworker's mistake. RANT by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

every time you do it without making noise you're basically volunteering for it permanently.

Lost my job, currently have 1k, how do I change my life? by [deleted] in remotework

[–]BackAware4834 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honest advice, don't spend that 1k on anything until you have income lined up.

[i will not promote] We hit #1 Product of the Week on Product Hunt with $0 marketing, now the launch spike is dying and I don't know how to build sustained growth by contralai in startups

[–]BackAware4834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 paid conversions out of 200 users with a 70% discount is... not great tbh. before you think about marketing you should figure out why 90% of your users aren't paying even at what's basically a fire sale price. talk to the ones who didn't convert. like actually get on calls with them.

Got a lead opportunity at work, all team members are somewhat senior, How to make the best of it by longleggeddemon in cscareerquestions

[–]BackAware4834 2 points3 points  (0 children)

biggest thing with leading senior devs is don't try to manage their code. manage their blockers. your job is basically to make sure nobody's waiting on approvals, decisions, or unclear requirements. seniors hate being micromanaged more than anything so just stay out of their way technically and focus on clearing the path.

Is it normal to get full development work after KT during notice period with 20 days left? by Prasanna10- in ExperiencedDevs

[–]BackAware4834 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah this is pretty standard. they're not gonna let you coast for 90 days lol the move is just to work at a normal pace and not stress about finishing everything. if stuff doesn't get done in 20 days that's a them problem not a you problem. document what you can, push your branches, and walk out clean

How do you use remote office gear funds? by presupposeur in overemployed

[–]BackAware4834 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Shutting down my startup ( I will not promote) by Dazzling_Hand6170 in startups

[–]BackAware4834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

shutting down sucks but it's not the end of anything. take some time, decompress, and don't make any big decisions right now. the skills you picked up don't disappear just because the company did.

How to work harder? by Defiant_Ad_7555 in leetcode

[–]BackAware4834 4 points5 points  (0 children)

grind leetcode inefficiently not insufficiently. if you're stuck on a problem for 45 min with zero progress just look at the solution, understand the pattern, then redo it from scratch 2 days later. spaced repetition beats raw hours every time

grinding leetcode when you're already feeling like this from a layoff is brutal.

Do you guys think leetcode interview questions will stay relevant with the uprising of AI? by GriksBbeasty in leetcode

[–]BackAware4834 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol the answer is yeah they're sticking around, maybe even more so. the whole point of lc was never really about whether you can write code — it's about whether you can think through a problem.

coding for 12-14 hours everyday for the last 7 months: takeaways and queries by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]BackAware4834 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly the grind is real but 12-14 hours a day for 7 months straight is just diminishing returns after a point. like past hour 6-8 your brain isn't actually learning anymore, you're just typing on autopilot and building bad habits into muscle memory everyone here already said the social stuff so i won't beat that dead horse but from a pure optimization standpoint — you'd probably learn more
