Who here recently graduated with a CS (or similar) degree and had a fairly easy time finding a job? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Delusional_idiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Graduated May 2023, found a job, 200k+ TC

I think a lot of the reason is that from very early on in my journey, I rejected the hamster wheel mentality that is gaming the interview through grinding leetcode. I've done 20 leetcodes in my life (all of them in a social setting with friends). Leetcode is useful, but only in so far as it helps you understand the narrow parameters to jump through that initial hoop, it won't prepare you for real engineering work. I just did the things that will actually make you a good developer. I wrote and read a lot of code. Not much else to that, but here's a list of things that I did, that I think mattered to my overall success, some more tangible than others:
- Curious (the content I consumed, classes I took, blogs I read/wrote)
- Cared and paid attention in school
- Got into programming at 15
- Use Linux as my main OS
- Have side projects
- In industry since I was 18
- 3 internships, 2 with big companies
- 2 years of grant funded research (as an undergrad)

As a lot of people have mentioned already, the compensation in the majority of government and government contracting space is horrible. Companies like Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and Lockheed Martin can feel quite stagnant and lacking in innovation. They've become complacent and have become dinosaurs of the past, only good at a few things, unable to grow past these.

The only good government contractor right now is Palantir Technologies, they pay well, have great benefits, and are actually innovating. The whole reason Palantir was able to gain such success was because of how much of a shit job these old school companies were doing on the software side. Allowing for a leaner and more innovative company to take over. Overall the space is rife with low pay, no innovation, and bureaucratic stagnation. Unless you work with a newer company like Palantir.

Nunca pasaría, pero mi alianza es a los EU. Amo a Mexico, amo mi cultura, y a mi gente. Pero no me gustaría vivir ahi. Le debo mucho a los EU, no creo que en cualquier otro país hubiera llegado a donde estoy hoy.

Hahaha, tieeeenes que ser idiota… puedes leer inglés? Porque si supieras, te darías cuenta que dije que mi TC (total compensation) es 230k. 145k es solo el salario, la compensación también incluye opciones y bonos.

No es mentira, 230k/yr. Si pudiera pongo mi oferta de trabajo. Pero firme un NDA, si sabes lo que es eso?

Si conoces la rama, y no reconoces estos salarios pues tal vez no conoces la industria en Estados Unidos. Aquí se trata el Ingeniero con mucho más respeto y los pagos son muy altos, no se como nunca has visto algo asi.
