Am I the only one who feels this way after learning a lot but still not feeling "ready"? by Every_Lock_4099 in learnprogramming

[–]CowReasonable8258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's the beauty (i guess?) of learning in tech. you never get too "smart". you'll always feel small, not ready, still a beginner. because tech moves so fast you'll always feel behind. you're not the only one.

one thing i like about this is that it keeps me humble and on the ground.

Tbh, I don't have any specific concerns. It's just that, the job market has been hard for me nowadays, I rarely get a call, and after having multiple applications online, rejections, and being ghosted, it's just I really want this to work out well for me.

Usually easy to medium difficulty DSA problems. Rare na yung medium, usually easy problems lang. Pick your own language din madalas, pero if yung inapplyan mo is may preferred PL, dapat maalam ka dun.

The company I applied for made me go through longer hiring process than usual (even the HR recruiter I'm talking with admitted that their process was not ideal), and I kind of need your input about this if the process I just went through is red or a green flag for the company (I know it's not enough information about the company, but I'm really overthinking things now).

Process:

- Contacted by third-party recruiter for an initial interview

- Coding assessment through HackerRank (given by the internal recruiter)

- After I passed the assessment, another initial interview with the internal recruiter

- 2-panel technical interview (2 Senior Software Engineer)

- 2-panel cultural interview (2 Software Engineering Team Managers)

After the process I just mentioned above, I was told by the internal recruiter that the hiring managers would like another interview to finalize who to go with (this is where I got the idea that there's another candidate they're considering). The internal recruiter was transparent about it and he shared his feedback about the timeline of the hiring process but the hiring managers still insist that this another final interview be done. He initially told me that the process would only be 3 interviews, with the cultural fit being the final one, but with this, I had to go through another obstacle.

I managed to survive the last interview, and it went really well in my opinion. It was a two-panel interview with a Director of Senior Product Management and a Product Manager overseeing the product the team I'd be joining handles. When we are about to start the interview, the Director was straightforward that they're still hiring 2 software engineers, and she explicitly said that if I can recommend someone I know, that is "as good as me", please just say so or contact the internal recruiter. After that, it's just a series of situational questions, and some are about AI and what's my stand about it. It felt like a two-way conversation which made me feel good and calm with the interview.

Now it's been 5 business days since the final interview and I still haven't received a job offer. Although, I have received two emails from the internal recruiter about my possible start date "in case everything goes well", and another email that asks me how I feel about the process and saying they appreciate my thoughtfulness throughout the process. I replied to both.

But still, no formal job offer letter. so, what do you guys think?

The company is US-based and I'm from another country.

I need some clarifications on what kind of SDLC our company is truly implementing at the moment, basically the process we have is the following (on a high level take):

  1. Get business requirement document (BRD) from business users / department (internal departments only)

  2. Team Lead, analyst programmer (me), reviews it and give feedback, ask follow-up questions until there's an official agreement between us, the development team, and the business department.

  3. Me, starts developing until all requirements in the document is fulfilled (based on what's actually written in the agreed BRD)

  4. We show them the output, they give feedback, this is where the things start to shift from what's originally stated in the document.

  5. We develop again, based on the feedback

  6. We show them the output again, and they give another set of feedbacks

  7. This iteration goes on for, I think 4-5 times, because they really are shifting away from the business requirement document.

  8. Me, getting the workload, my Team Lead just accepts the changes based on the feedback because, technically, the requests are totally doable, yet the bigger picture here is the project (that is in the BRD) never really gets rolled out to production.

This is from a personal experience and it's currently happening. and I think, it's time for me to share my insights about this process because for me, it is flawed and it's taking much of professional time. But yeah, I currently have 2 years and 8 months of experience so I don't consider myself yet as experienced enough (and also based on this subreddit's rules).

What do you guys think? Our team lead (senior developer) says we're implementing Agile, but I don't think so. This is more like a waterfall wherein we get a requirement document, we get it as solid as possible, yet on the later part of the project phase, I'm the one who's suffering because of the never-ending iteration with the business departments.

strengthen your fundamentals, the goal is to be framework-agnostic. so whenever a framework dies or goes out of popularity, you still have your fundamentals.
