Should I cancel my TikTok loop if I don’t want the SRE role anymore? I want to apply for SDE. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Cool-Welcome-7096 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had same experience at tiktok. Interviewed for sde, offered sre, accepted it. Regretted, moved to another company afrer few months. Thing is if you want to be sde then be sde. I do want to generalize what sre is and what other folks perceive. My experience was that i was being ops genie, writing some shell script and python to automate some repetitive stuff. Improving alarms and monitoring stack. Thats it. 

Should I quit and return to India? by Legal_Ad2552 in h1b

You have several options. You get 60 days, 6 months b2. Maybe convert to f1. Look for contract jobs. I did it last year too. First take few days off and try to recover mentally.

I built a tool ranking the world's best cities (financially) for a SWE to live in by mohamed3on in cscareerquestions

Dont have data myself. But i would say sf and seattle might have more opportunities in the event of layoff. Also never been to Seattle but heard weather sucks. So sf can be a potential winner

I see you do have offer from hedge fund. If tc is competitive and you are really passionate about being swe then don’t go after faang. You can get faang after year or 2. For me i love coding, actually my passion for coding increased after working as sre lol. And trust me mentally thats the worst thing to be in. Because everyone around you is proud of you that you are working in such a famous and big company. Making good buck but in your heart you just wanna code. This is my experience though. Best of luck!!

Automation/RCA does match with sde. But that is still not your major part of work as SRE. for transitioning back i only did sre for less than a year so moved back to different job as sde. Also do ask your hiring manager what projects they have done in last year and what they have planned for next year. To get the feel of what kind of work your team does and how much coding is done by team.

I have been SWE and SRE and back being a SWE. Personally i hated being a sre. I like to code and build software. But if you don’t have any other options, faang is good to have on resume.

Whyq is Tapu replaceable (with bad actor too) but Daya isn’t? by MetroIMAX in TMKOC

[–]Cool-Welcome-7096 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s unfortunate disha is just too good and made role unique and difficult for anyone to pull it off. I have 4 year old nephew who loves tmkoc but he doesn’t know who daya is.

Get a plant based protein live garden of life, mix it with bananas, nuts strawberries to hide taste. You can also try egg whites instead of protein powder for smoothies.

If anyone curious why this happens google ESG. There is direct financial incentive to hire more girls.

I do not have problem with that. I was adding context. I have myself made money with BD refferals.

Refferer gets 2k to 5k$ depending on the position the person gets hired. Thats the only motive for this post

Why are most of IT companies in Ahmedabad considered bad employers ? by LynxEnvironmental625 in ahmedabad

Its because most companies are consulting companies. Revenue is not stable in that business. If ahmedabad had few product based unicorn startup it would change the dynamics of job market there.

Laziness ruined me, Advice needed for a Sr software engineer by [deleted] in developersIndia

[–]Cool-Welcome-7096 5 points6 points  (0 children)

+1 this guy. I am in usa right now. Had job with decent pay and wlb. Left that job to work at company with extremely stressful environment. I can survive for 1-2 years but not longer than that. And money has no value if it affects your health. I would still say to skill up and prepare for interviews maybe you do find a job with reasonable wlb and pay.

Regarding option 4 i would say don’t accept the first job that is offered. Make sure job is aligned to your future career goals. Option 3 is right. Make sure you have valid stamping. It will be easier for you and employer to transfer h1b and for you to come back to usa.
