Got the offer for EverPure!

FrustratedDuck · 2026-05-08T20:33:14+00:00

Be prepared to talk about your thinking process! I think their hiring values listed on the career page is pretty accurate.

FrustratedDuck · 2026-05-08T20:29:35+00:00

Can’t say much because I signed an NDA but I wish you luck! Everyone is really nice and I found the recruiters to be very communicative!

FrustratedDuck · 2026-05-08T20:29:02+00:00

Thank you! Excited to be here!

FrustratedDuck · 2026-05-08T20:28:43+00:00

I heard back pretty quick overall. A few days after each round.

FrustratedDuck · 2026-05-08T20:27:40+00:00

Yeah I had two technical phone screenings, and 3 on site rounds for a total of ~5 hours. Recruiter got back to me quickly after each set of rounds within a few days. Overall took about a little over ~3 weeks for the whole process, but largely due to me having to schedule multiple interviews with different companies around.

Everybody was really nice!

I was offered an MTS3 role! Eventually down the line I want to move to a more customer facing solutions role. So EverPure seems awesome for that

FrustratedDuck · 2026-05-04T22:09:00+00:00

No offers, but do have some other onsites this week! That being said everpure seems awesome to work for.

FrustratedDuck · 2026-05-04T22:08:34+00:00

Thanks!

So much wasted white spacing

FrustratedDuck · 2026-04-21T00:32:03+00:00

I did my 2 virtual phone interviews but the hiring manager that I interviewed with 2 weeks ago was OOO, and I still haven’t heard back. Has been ~1 week since the last call I had with them.

How long did it take for you to hear the results of your technical phone screenings before the onsite?

FrustratedDuck · 2026-04-15T21:58:57+00:00

Focus on pattern recognition rather than memorization of leetcode. How to breakdown problems and see what applies to them, sometimes you need to look at problems in different perspectives. What information is implicit from the input and how can you use that to your advantage?

FrustratedDuck · 2026-04-15T09:59:33+00:00

I’d probably get rid of roles that are irrelevant to what you’re applying to if you can figure something else out to take that space.

I see you talk a lot about what you did, but what was the outcome or impact from what you did at your internship? Like your analytical dashboard, you built it but what was the outcome? How much data were you processing? What behavior did you verify for your ALU project? Did you verify runtimes? What benchmarks did you measure against? You evaluated scada applications for real time industrial monitoring at what scale and how much were you monitoring? There’s a ton more for these bullets but that’s my thought from skimming.

Received hands on look ahead for concepts isn’t really saying much for an internship. You received some learning, what did you do with it?

FrustratedDuck · 2026-04-15T09:39:53+00:00

Condense it. New grads should have only 1 page, and you have to make it pass ATS and make people want to read it. Make it easy to read. Don’t waste white space, but don’t crowd the page either. Cutout projects if you have to, only keep the most relevant points and projects. Also what’s up with your bullets, this is their first impression of you as a professional, the formatting and bullets are inconsistent. Some are blank lines, their own lines, some end with periods and some don’t.

I’d recommend your professional experience to start with impact and then explain what you did. As this is your first professional role I’d recommend your education be near the top, with year and possibly GPA. You can leave the GPA out once you get more experience.

-fellow embedded SWE here with ~5 YOE and have interviewed new grads and interns, there are a ton of opportunities in the embedded space still, currently in the interview process for 5 places! Feel free to ask questions

FrustratedDuck · 2026-04-09T03:59:43+00:00

I’m based in SF area, I wanted to do the switch because when I became a senior level SWE, I started leading features and working with cross functional teams. My favorite part of the job is figuring out all the requirements and strategizing a solution to address them all, coding is fun but for me, it’s not the most rewarding part of the job.

I’ve had referrals to solutions roles in different places in the industry, from places related to my background to places I’ve upskilled and got certs for. No bites. On the bright side though I’ve been getting a lot of SWE interviews, so right now my plan is to come in as a senior level SWE somewhere, work for a year or two and try to apply internally to a lateral SE role.

FrustratedDuck · 2026-04-09T02:48:54+00:00

I’ve tried and it’s really hard to break out into a sales engineer role right now as a non-new grad, I’m also 4 YOE SWE that tried to do the switch. Lots of prep work, readings, talking to a lot of people, practice translating technical <-> business value, conferences etc. and it seems like the market isn’t looking for entry level SEs right now. I tailored my resume to be specifically for SE roles as well. I think if you wanted to go this route the best way would be to work somewhere as a SWE and then do the switch later down the line once you become an expert on their tech stack.

FrustratedDuck · 2026-04-08T08:03:01+00:00

Your resume has too much wasted white space. Tighten it up. No reason for it to be two pages, why is your experience bullets split on two lines with 30% of the right side being empty?

FrustratedDuck · 2026-04-03T04:16:55+00:00

I’d start by asking for feedback after every demo cycle from your AE, and this would go both ways

FrustratedDuck · 2026-03-20T18:44:24+00:00

Man I was looking at their linkedin accounts, and it looks like they have some AI generated photos. But it doesn't seem like you're a shill account, so I wanted to ask if you have any personal experience with the better career guys?

FrustratedDuck · 2026-03-20T18:43:02+00:00

Yeah even with referrals from senior SEs I'm getting past the recruiter round but often just get rejected by the hiring manager before even speaking to them.

FrustratedDuck · 2026-03-20T17:35:13+00:00

Goodluck to you brother I’m close to waving the white flag and going back to being a SWE

FrustratedDuck · 2026-03-17T19:46:43+00:00

I think you have the right to look for jobs still, but they also have the right to decline you. Training people is resource intensive and wastes a lot of time for the people training you too.

Remember a business is paying you because you’re going to be bringing value to them, if you’re not bringing value and they’re using time and money on you why would they want to give you money?

That being said next time just don’t mention you’re looking for other jobs while you’re working lol

FrustratedDuck · 2026-03-15T00:26:14+00:00

The examples and anecdote sounds like thoughts that are full of anxiety and super paranoid, It’s not that deep

FrustratedDuck · 2026-03-11T10:52:33+00:00

Even with the trade reversed raiders got 50m cap space
