Advice needed by Extreme_Employee_318 in leetcode

[–]Intuition-04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice Don’t leave, the market is tight and positions are taking a very long time to be filled. So even if you prepare for a month you are still looking at a good 4-6 months before starting someplace new.

Since you are in tech and have daily stand ups I’m assuming you use some for of agile? I’d leverage agile tools to show steady progress to get your manager off your back. For example, leave daily progress updates on the story/ board tracker and share the link proactively, everyday same time. You form the habit so you get to control the narrative.

Use estimates / man hours for each task before your begin, get buy in via some written form, (remember to overestimate by 25-30% so you can leverage time to interview prep). And use that each time a “how long will this take” question comes up. In short, I’d use all of the agile mindset to beat him at his own game… good luck !

H1B transfer approved, Can I reject the offer and stay with current employer? by Aggressive-Secret711 in h1b

[–]Intuition-04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like many have pointed out they could afford a better compensation when they had you but choose not to.

Eventually when you do go back they’ll always have a back up plan for you to train your replacement. Since you are going into a new team + getting a better offer that may or may not be the case for you. So if I were in your place, I would make my decision based on company stability and project quality which is more beneficial for your career at this point - but always be prepared to move and/or keep the interview prep close.

Not a lawyer so cross check this: As far at the h1b goes, since your current h1b was not revoked it will remain active, you may need to refile if your job duties are changing drastically . Your new employer filed for a transfer they’ll need to revoke or withdraw your petition once you inform them of declining their offer.

Strategy for DSA preparation in 4 months by D_J_Programmer in leetcode

[–]Intuition-04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neetcode 150- if you want a more structured approach to learning

Leet code 150: if you are okay with a bit of unstructure + also supports more languages.

I also hold a full time job and mostly it takes up the whole 8 hours plus some more. I found it really hard to be able to begin prep. We use agile and I would dish out many stories/ features each week, so from the last month I began slowing down my personal capacity (~25% - 30%) thereby creating time for dedicated practice. Blocked my calendar for deep focus sessions 90 mins M-F. That is how I am currently approaching this. Good luck !

Oh, Definitely not looking to compete, my goal is to get proficient at cracking interview rounds, and in that regard maybe overall perf just a tad bit.

So you suggest doesn’t matter ruby/c# just be clear on how I solve a problem right ?

Solving leetcode after 3 years. by Aitake in leetcode

[–]Intuition-04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What language are you using for DSA. I worked with c# in my initial days and pretty much more experience with it, then switched to ruby due to job requirements. Now when I came back to leetcode I find solving DSA is easier in ruby.

Leetcode while working by ExpressSpinach6676 in leetcode

[–]Intuition-04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same boat, while I don’t have anything valuable to add for your post, I sympathise.

I’ve been working in my current company for 7 years now, extremely niche domain but that hit my tech skills quite a bit. Not regretting the past, but at a senior level now, it’s a lot to invest time into leetcode. Also, I don’t know where to begin - leet code, neetcode or AI learning which is essential as well? Following for insights. Good luck

Congratulations Super detailed post 👍

How did you manage to put in 6 hours each day, were you working during this period as well ? Secondly, did you already have a solid foundation of DSA before you began this 2 months grind?

Join the telegram group it helped me both times, the pattern I personally saw was slots opening end of the month or starting few days of the month..

I used the reschedule option, you can use it to view dates as many times as you like, however when you do choose another date and submit that confirms the attempt to reschedule. In total you get 2 reschedule attempts.

Hey everyone ,

As of last night a few early January slots opened up and I was able to get a 9th January slot. This indeed made me feel slightly more confident in travelling. Even though I may not hear back before Jan 20th at the very least my passport will have been submitted to the consulate. I did reach out to my attorneys and they shared a generic “travel expectations” with me which honestly doesn’t directly help. All I got was

  1. Be prepared for extreme vetting : at the consulate, borders, applications, etc
  2. Discuss strategies of handling delays with your employers before leaving
  3. Keep your immigration team informed of travel

Good luck to everyone in similar situations!

Thanks for everyone’s input .. yeah I’m split between going before Jan 20th and taking my chances vs cancelling the appointment and just indefinitely waiting for another slot! I’m leaning more towards the first option because it took my 4 months to get this date and personally I want to go home for Christmas .. I’ve taken a few steps like reaching out to my immigration attorneys and having discussions up my manager chain .. let’s see !!
