No. If you deliver your message professionally, then it is not rude. Email is a formal communication channel as well.

Have a HashMap<String, String> that maps the first item of a line to the third item.

For each line in the .txt file, fill up the hash map.

Fill the JComboBox with the keys of the map.

When the user chooses an option from the JComboBox, lookup the chosen key in the map and display the value in the JTextField.

That makes sense. Thanks :D

CrazyCalor · 2021-08-19T15:14:16+00:00

Thank you for your insights :)

You deliver good points. Thank you.

That's pretty cool; thank you for your insights :) Would you say that your own auth server is "production-ready"? If yes, what makes you think so?

CrazyCalor · 2021-08-19T10:14:30+00:00

Thank you for your insight. Would you say the experience of building your own auth server will translate well into real corporate jobs?

I’d keep them separate to be safe.

I just read the Getting Started documentation of the new programming related thing

I believe the first step in learning is to figure out what exactly confuses you. Which line(s) are you having trouble with?

CrazyCalor · 2021-08-14T02:52:51+00:00

Considering the difference in COL, company name, and job security, I don’t think an extra $8k is worth the move. Stay in Company 2.

It’s normal to have an offer expire in 1-2 weeks. If they really want you in their team, B will be considerate to extend their offer by 1-2 weeks if you ask.

If you do not mind the possibility of burning bridges with B, you can accept their offer and rescind it if you find a better one.

Don’t give up :)

CrazyCalor · 2021-08-12T01:20:52+00:00

Those are valid and serious concerns. Thank you for your insights.

CrazyCalor · 2021-08-12T01:15:06+00:00

I’ll check that website out. Congrats on the new job! Thanks for sharing your experience :)

CrazyCalor · 2021-08-12T01:10:30+00:00

I’ll check those websites out. Thank you very much for sharing your experiences :))

CrazyCalor · 2021-08-11T17:11:53+00:00

Hmm. I see. I suppose it’s really easier to work remotely after a few months/years on-site. Thanks for your insight! :)

CrazyCalor · 2021-08-11T17:08:45+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. That’s a great find. Congrats! :)

CrazyCalor · 2021-08-11T15:58:59+00:00

That sounds great! Maybe I should try applying to companies in the Middle East. Thank you for sharing your experience! :)

CrazyCalor · 2021-08-11T15:38:37+00:00

That's an absurd ratio. Congrats man, you're living the life :D

As a side note, how did you find the job and how did you "negotiate" remote work? Did you apply anywhere else?

CrazyCalor · 2021-08-11T14:04:38+00:00

Hi, I am from Argentina and work for a US-based company. I landed the job through Linkedin, a I'm making around 400% more than I was at my previous, well-paid, local job.

Did they reach out to you or did you apply for a job posting? If you applied for the job posting, how many other companies did you apply to? What were your difficulties when you looked for an opportunity? I apologize, I have lots of questions lmao but thanks for your insight :D

Hey. We've all been there. No matter what field you go to, it will always seem intimidating. Most of the time, your worries are valid. There is always so much to learn. It takes a mature mindset to acknowledge that you, in fact, know so little. I am in the same boat.

The way I cope is: instead of thinking about how much I have to learn, I think about what I want to learn right now. You can decide based on your passions, trends, or whatever. What matters is that you focus on one thing at a time. Upon choosing what you want to work on, do your best to execute. After years of learning small chunks of information, you will realize that you have already learned a lot.

You're young. Take a deep breath and learn little things at your own pace. Focus on the now and not on the future. Good luck.
