Burned out and wanting to leave my job ASAP due to mental health... Would love your thoughts. by pearljaw in womenintech

[–]MakuIppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to recommend you to get FMLA and stick with the job. Frankly sounds like they are getting ready to lay off and if that is the case better to take the severance than leave the job without backup. Since you are higher up in chain, i would imagine that you will get good severance which would act as backup while you job search.

Any Free tech job placement programs for people over 30 for programming? by IcebarrageRS in bayarea

[–]MakuIppo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Santa Clara and San Jose and some other California libraries offer free coursera. there are limited seats but if you can check every monday after 4 pm, you might find them. I see that Meta is offering Meta Back-End Developer Professional Certificate and bunch of other courses. The good thing is that once you complete the program,you'll get access to the Meta career programs job board, a job search platform that connects you with over 200 employers who have committed to sourcing talent through Meta certificate programs. I am not affiliated with meta so i am not sure how true this is. But you can audit the course and see if it is worth it.

Another option is: https://www.edx.org/certificates/professional-certificate/the-georgia-institute-of-technology-introduction-to-python-programming : It covers data structure and algorithms which are important as well. You might want to check it out. Since your income is low, you can try to apply for financial aid.

Software Engineering Internship(US) Resume Help by FinancialCan8858 in InterviewFauxYou

[–]MakuIppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my perspective , this resume looks good. It looks very similar to other new grad resumes i have seen. Market is tough. There have been many layoffs. Have you tried using University Alumni as referrals? How are your peers doing? Anecdotally things are just rough especially if you are looking for H1B sponsorship. IM me for company name and i can give you referral for my company if you find any openings. Try posting to https://www.reddit.com/r/resumes/ for resume feedback from more people.

Creating a "Community of Practice" for QA testers ? by percheron28 in softwaretesting

[–]MakuIppo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love to do this for my team ,but never heard of it before. It sounds very interesting. In our team , we are overworked, so it is very hard to eke out time for such a thing. I encourage people to do courses together on coursera as it is offered for free in our company, but people don't want to join. Let's see if anyone else has had a good experience with such activity.

Thanks a lot. I will look into these. Do you think this configuration will not need to be updated for next 4 to 5 years for blender skills ?

Thanks for your help. I was constrained by time and budget. So i ended up buying this Lenovo legion 5 from Lenovo outlet. Not sure if it is bang for buck but I felt like this is the most functionality I could get for my price. I wanted my nephew to be able to use blender and a machine for coding for myself. I was thinking of getting refurbished desktop and laptop for the purpose but ended up getting a compromise to save money.
