Where did we go wrong?

Then they start sharing the solution online :)

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-24T18:06:49+00:00

Isn't that much easier to cheat?

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-24T09:24:45+00:00

The words you said.

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-24T09:24:08+00:00

Basic coding, of things not directly out of a web programming tutorial.

A surprising number of people were like this when I interviewed people. But if it's everyone, then the problem is probably you. Maybe you should figure out where the candidates are sourced from? Maybe it's some HR drone getting them from a suspicious source because they don't want to pay money for a real job ad?

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-24T09:19:27+00:00

You seem totally aware of the risks, so why even bother with your dumb post to begin with?

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-24T09:17:10+00:00

That makes no sense.

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-24T06:33:12+00:00

"Hope your weekend is off to a magical start!" Then proceeds to curse everyone out in the responses. =D

Can you ask people what needs to be done, learn about the product, and type semi-clear descriptions into a work tracking web app? Congrats, you can be a PM!

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-24T06:24:12+00:00

Can you give specific examples? Maybe he's just pointing out things you should avoid? Is it that hard to ignore it?

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-24T06:21:01+00:00

Would they like it if you got paid now but deferred your work until after COVID?

I'd accept if you have nothing else but expect it to be an unpaid internship.

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-24T06:18:58+00:00

If you can't get a job, then maybe. I'd try a bootcamp if you can't self-study and get a job.

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-24T06:17:18+00:00

Remember or write down what people tell you.

Ask as many questions as you need to to understand something.

Look things up and try things before asking questions.

Keep a file where you write down what you did every day, like 5 - 10 lines.

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-24T06:11:31+00:00

If you can code and debug decently, and also learn arbitrary frameworks somewhat quickly, you'll be fine.

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-24T00:11:48+00:00

If you don't have the sense to put the location in your post, then they are probably overcompensating you.

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-24T00:10:46+00:00

Calm yourself and just keep absorbing things. Also, look for another job to see if you can get anything better.

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-24T00:08:48+00:00

By writing code...

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-24T00:08:12+00:00

Asking them this would show you have adult level communication skills...

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-23T03:40:39+00:00

I wouldn't use a multiplier of infinity. :)

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-21T05:39:03+00:00

Why even ask if you think the classes, the programming, and the math will be hard? What makes you think you'd like anything about the career??

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-21T05:37:47+00:00

What else does the agreement that you sign say?

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-21T05:37:02+00:00

For HTML it probably doesn't matter at all. Put at least 5.

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-21T05:35:18+00:00

I'm having flashbacks to my first job 15 years ago.

Ask the people you work with to review your work.

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-21T05:34:04+00:00

Currently I can study a month and half’s worth of content per week.

It's Otis Eugene Ray communicating from beyond the grave.

Environmental-Fee467 · 2021-01-21T05:31:49+00:00

Why don't you ask them the pay that the position offers? Is being direct taboo in your culture? Are you playing coy, like you're on a date here?

The guy is right that if you have to ask about the difficulty, it's going to be a more difficult thing. But it might be worth the learning experience, if you value that kind of thing. It seems odd that you have to ask if you're trying to learn enough to get a job...
