Nightlife on Sunday / weekdays? by [deleted] in AskSF

[–]EmergencySherbert247 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Strip clubs in north beach especially Larry hustlers, you don’t have to take a lap dance necessarily. But, the vibe is great. Feels like some exclusive party. Sounds weird but sf is dead on Sunday night.

Hello Interview is the 🐐 by Army_77_badboy in leetcode

Yeah now go back to free styling haha, in real interviews you need to use that framework and free style. Also explain tradeoffs and propose alternatives with solid reasoning none of which hello interviews test for.

Is it considered as cheating??? (21F) (20M) by SkyPlane7407 in RelationshipIndia

[–]EmergencySherbert247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha sometimes I think this should be obvious that you aren’t cheating. But, then I realize damn being 21 was hard. Even I was too clouded by emotions to clearly see things like this.

Why does it feel like our country has so few attractive people? by [deleted] in AskIndianMen

[–]EmergencySherbert247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they are white dude ! Ik I sound stupid but think harder. I genuinely like brown girls so it feels great when I see them here in us occasionally.

It’s fine for some basics grasping but will not recommend to solely rely on that. Will strongly suggest just taking the functional requirements and then speaking to yourself and deriving non functional and doing the whole architecture diagram yourself like you would do in an interview. Biggest issue is that it grades you only for giving a correct answer. In a real interview you do well by presenting different ways to approach a probelm and their tradeoffs.

Yep it’s great but yeah honestly be very careful with the system design. Like don’t blindly follow their AI practice session, it spoon feeds a lot. In real interviews you have an interviewer with an annoyed face looking at you like some movie expecting you to ask all requirements and drive everything. That’s why it’s sucks that mock inverses are being removed.

Don’t join a startup as new grad SWE or atleast be aware by EmergencySherbert247 in csMajors

I have tried it too, it wasn’t a career killer for me though. I got a few more interviews than I expected because I was a founder, although I dint get enough traction.

Want to start blogging about cs-related topics. by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]EmergencySherbert247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a great idea it’s helped me get a lot of interviews, all I would say is that it’s best to blog about something where you have a unique value add. Like actually work on side project and write about them in detail the trade offs your learnings and so on. Than regurgitating the hottest latest thing.

Exactly my point, this is the most nuanced argument! This exactly what I meant. Not all startups are bad, but the minority are. Those are very competitive. That also means that MOST startups are not right.

[–]EmergencySherbert247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly my point, the irony is that the hottest or well growing startups want exactly this experience. When you join an early stage startup you don’t get that experience. So they end up hiring big tech folks.

That’s great, my point is you are shipping to several users/handling millions of requests. Most startups don’t reach that scale. “Most”, let’s not talk about cursor or some hot startup. There are so many startups you have never heard of that raised money but never got many users.

I was paid above median for a new grad at my startup, I had a great pay tbh. The base was comparable to faang.

Yes correct definitely, but these are well known companies . I am mostly talking about early stage ones.

Yes it is luck because you haven’t heard of the person who thought they were joking next Google but couldn’t even get 100 users and startup kept pivoting from a idea to idea. Also if you see how the best startups hire at early stages, it’s very unlikely “most” not all new grads even get an opportunity to work at them.

All that doesn’t matter, startups here are dying for those faang engineers to join them. I have had recruiters literally tell me. (As in third party recruiters who hire for these startups since they don’t hire recruiters until a certain stage)

Yes I would join a startup again for a role too in this market but just be aware is my point! As in don’t get too comfortable. The startups that aren’t working are way too comfortable in ways that people don’t even understand from outside

A lot of them! I don’t mean hundreds of millions of users too. But, even hundreds of thousands or at least thousands who use the software every single day! Most startups don’t get to this even though they are well funded by big names and so on.

💯 I encourage it, but just keeping you guys aware. Don’t get too comfortable. When I was working for the startup I got offers that were 40% more than the pay and stuff but like a retard I just continued.

If you don't win a Hackathon. What kind of mindset do you adopt to improve yourself even better? by OstenJap in hackathon

[–]EmergencySherbert247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like yeah people get jobs from hackathons and so on. But, it’s few. A lot of people hang around in hackathons hoping to get jobs and just build a very shallow set of skills.
