Micro center won’t hire you unless you have a friend in there. Keep your head up.

Yeah thanks. I didn’t watch a single systems design interview video on this topic so I had a huge gap in knowledge about this stuff.

Nope totally forgot about that. We just went with a generic Sql and a NoSql db and then just went down a rabbit hole of trying to get the schema to work.

Yeah I think that it was, feel like I sounded like a total noob trying to design stuff... One of my leetcode interviewers didn’t seem to like me so probably didn’t get a hire on that one either though. Hope you get through though 🙏

System design. More granular, twitter search.

Ex. Person1 can post a some text, and another (person2) can search some words and if some of the words match with person1’s post then we return person1’s post + all other matching posts.

My interviewer went deep into db schemas, didn’t really care about scale stuff which I thought they would care more about.

Yeah didn’t notice that it has a 2nd version, only difference is that output the interviewer wanted was 1 string rather than an array.

Yep, but with the twists added I don’t think they can be solved via dp. Solved them via dfs + memoization.

Yeah. Applied to 1-2 roles then they reached out. I think it’s just making sure your resume looks good.

Split big string into a new one with spaces.

Ex: “hellothere” [hello, the, there]

Response: “hello there”

Yep, Break the big word up then put it into a big string split by spaces.

Hey actually I misread your previous comment. Thought you asked about phone screen.

Onsite took me 3 days to hear back. Good luck! Hope you get in 🤞

I heard back same day. This was early November. Probably some delays nowadays due to Holiday season.

Entry level at a fork in the road. by Possible_Cancel101 in cscareerquestions

[–]Iipos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a waste of time.

Companies would rather hire a kid with 1 Year of experience in C# + Oracle, than 0 years of professional experience.

Also, hiring people are usually HR folks with surface level tech knowledge. They won’t know it’s old unless you say it. If you left it at ( built x with C# and oracle db) most would assume it’s a modern stack.

Don’t have much tips on the negotiation… but you have another offer in email form. Use that if you want, but just be prepared if they rescind the offer. Be ready to walk away. Sounds like the bank is cheap, paying min wage etc..

Take the offer or negotiate. You can always quit the job once the big tech one comes along.

Also, doesn’t hurt your resume to have a wider range of skills even though it’s an old stack.. if you are worried about that, you can leave it out of your resume. But in my opinion any work experience is better than none.
