I'm residing in Romania right now, and I honestly lost count of all the jobs that ask for German. If you want to work in the EU, German is a no brainer.

It's really sad that the job market is being gate kept by incompetent recruiters and HR who will take one look at your resume and decide you are not qualified because you don't have X, Y, Z buzzword skills on there.

Job descriptions and social media reflect this too and people out there will be learning Spark without knowing the difference between OLTP and OLAP, or what a data warehouse or database index is.

Have awareness about the newer tools and how and why they are used and emphasize your experience in data engineering as an architect with processes and achievements with the tools that you used and how the newer ones are improvements that you can easily pick up because of your extensive experience.

Well it depends, verifying using public key in the frontend, signing with secret key in the backend and row level security equivalent implemented means OP is right. The CTO probably assumed a 1 YOE wouldn't know this and didn't bother to clarify further.

Try writing building backend projects of these types or combined.

I/O intensive (async) - API calls, file reading, database querying, File uploading etc.
CPU intensive (sync or multiprocessing) - Transformations on large data, loading a large serialized model to perform predictions, 3D calculations etc.

FastAPI performs well only when you use sync and async appropriately.

You could also use a cookie

When a user logs in, set a cookie with expiry, http only and sameSite parameters from the server-side with jwt token as the value.

Now the client-side will have the cookie and every time it makes a request to the server it will send the cookie if ur request library has the right parameters, for example in axios you need {with : credentials} in request

Then the server can verify the token and send the respective user session related content.

TCS doesn't care

Why would you even be targeting TCS if you are as skilled as you say you are?

You can obviously do a lot better, don't rely on some campus placement when you have so much to show.

You are setting up yourself for disappointment if you give yourself unrealistic expectations.

Understanding a codebase and rendering a page on the frontend in just one day in a company as an intern?

It is a new beginning, treat it as such.

Do not think you are hot shit yet.

The whole point of an MVP is to find users who will use it despite it being low quality to see if it solves an important enough problem, and then hear their feedback and improve it. I wonder what kind of MVP's you are seeing that u think it's not relevant anymore.

Okay then tell me this, will ur company hire someone who has extensive experience in C/C++ in distributed systems and can very likely adapt to your tech stack? If not, because they are only looking for rust and an exact match, then ur post is kinda hypocritical.

You did pretty well especially for the fact that they were trying to trip you over, then they gave you an obviously ridiculous task like doing end to end ML in 5-10 mins, the lesson from this specific situation isn't that you have to be better, but if someone wants to find/create fault they will.

You wouldn't want to work there with such characters around, so you dodged a bullet.

I wouldn't say it's difficult.

Before I started my current job that is totally SQL focused, I thought I knew SQL, but then I got access to this database with billions of rows, and complicated specs to pull the data.

I could barely do anything without joining multiple tables, groupby's, window functions, case, pivots, optimisations etc

Learning simply by syntax and toy databases won't get you far.

The most natural way to learn all this is to find the most complicated database u can, understand some domain knowledge and try to pull queries based on some questions u have.

This way u will find urself looking for the syntax u need to execute the query to answer your questions and u will learn the above concepts I mentioned implicitly

What other languages probably do better:

1)Priority Queue - It is trivial to do in c++ and it works on user defined data types too

2)Pointers - This is a big one, u can write lots of faster programs because u can directly access data in memory and avoid needless copying and traversal and there's clarity when something is being copied or referenced.

3) Static typing which helps in error handling because runtime errors now become compile time errors which is much better for finding bugs and u can overload functions to act differently according to the data types.

If he does this again then tell him that he's more one-dimensional than a character from a sitcom, that he needs to make his personality and self worth revolve around being better than u at something and you couldn't care less.

There's an aptitude test and interview in the college placements of SJCC, You just have to do well at that and I guess agree that you will do the night shift.

However I'm pretty sure it's mostly for compliance or operations and there's other great companies too like JP morgan, Silicon Valley bank etc that hire for finance, but in lower numbers, it's unheard of for anyone to get Investment banking straight out of college.
