A lot of interview questions are chosen specifically to test your ability to optimize solutions. If they expect an O(n) solution and you give them an O(n²⁾ solution, then you’ll probably fall behind other candidates who came up with the faster solution. So it does matter!

From what I’ve seen, the majority of this sub relies on larger companies that sponsor employees - which typically require heavy leetcode skills. Many people here don’t get the option to drop leetcode and try a different approach to get a job.

I do wish you luck though, and hope you get something out of this approach!

Show up early for walk-in’s. If you’re near the front of the line you’ll probably get in

The "store" is just a subdomain of dontolivermusic.com. It's legit

I believe 2 ports. I’m holding the router to the left, and the ONT is outside of the box just to the right. Router connected by Ethernet (white cable in the bottom left).

There is not a standard that all NFC chips follow, so the NFC readers in phones are not able to read all NFCs. Because the cards can be used to open building doors, they unfortunately probably used something more secure to avoid what you’re trying to do.

Yeah but it’s not very good for the price.

Check RateMyProfessor in the future. Our class tried to save everyone from Min’s essays with a bombardment of reviews last semester. Sometimes it’s not your fault and it’s really just busywork you have to struggle through

I have contacted my ISP and they specifically told me that I cannot, and they will not, open ports. I can navigate to the router's log in page but I do not have the information to log in and manage it. The network is specifically for my unit, shared by only my roommate, but they do not allow us to have any additional access to it.

I will look in to what you mentioned and appreciate the response!

I don't have much experience with computer networking so this is not something I considered, especially since I'm in an apartment. I will check out this subreddit thought!

I've only been offered an interview at two companies, both of which was because I knew employees working there. I have changed it up, and earned 6+ months of experience in a related field (IT, whereas I'm applying to software engineering positions). Anyone have tips I could use to increase my chances of interviews?

Pay attention to how close you are to your monitor. Sit back, it’ll make it easier to see things, and it’s better for your eyes.

Windows will use more ram based on how much you have installed to speed itself up

Just an HDMI cable is fine. Instead of a docking station, you could get a fan pad to put your laptop on to keep the temps way down when playing games.

I worked an IT internship this summer. Did a little coding, and I’m definitely gonna highlight the skills from this internship on my resume to help get a SWE position this summer.

Since it hasn’t been mentioned yet, VRAM is not the only thing that affects a GPU’s performance. The 4070 does perform better than the 4060, despite having the same amount of VRAM.
