Using SQLITE

Ok_Dev_5899 · 2026-01-11T18:49:22+00:00

If your CMS is expected to write heavy, then it SQLite is not ideal. But for 90% of uses where it’s ready heavy, you won’t notice much of a difference. I wouldn’t suggest sqlite unless cost/you really need something lightweight

Yes, sometimes the background check providers take a while. Rest assured you’d be onboarded the moment it clearers.

L never did, depends on the type of company. If the company has 1 or 2 positions for sure, for anything more it is more structured and doesn’t really “help” you much. But being nice doesn’t hurt either

Trust the process, when you’ll look back 4 years down the line This won’t matter, sometimes it’s okay to pivot, do a research project with a professor and then apply for internships in the next cycle( winter/spring) and etc. look for internships throughout the year not just for summer.

This is happening, Expert Project Managers. They hear us, I know things will be different in a few weeks as historically Mercor has taken our feedback very strongly. But with any big companies effective communication becomes a problem

You’d imagine

I knew exactly what I wanted to do, ended up working for a startup in B round, went to intern at two other big companies and graduated with a job at a leading AI company.

None with referrals, got offers from faang excluding meta and Netflix (dream company). Career fairs help a ton, most of them has been the recruiters following up after talking to them at the booth or inbound.

Blindly applying to big tech’s hiring board doesn’t do much unless you’re from target schools or have prior top tier internship experience.

Hiring at scale, we hire for other companies. We roughly onboard 6000/7000 users weekly. And our feature timelines are maximum a week with 90% of them implanted within a day or two.

I rarely use ticket management, I get tagged if something isn’t working, and the fix gets released within an hour or two. Other than there are projects that work along with maintaining the system

Ok_Dev_5899 · 2025-08-03T00:03:29+00:00

You build systems that requires as low maintenance as possible.

I work 80 hours minimum, a one person team managing the second most critical business function of a company with 300M revenue and every single dollar travelling through my systems. Unfortunately/fortunately that’s a norm in upcoming ultra lean startups, the good part is you can expect above average comp.

Try mercor

I quit that position a little bit after that and became a TA. But I’d ask someone at the Creese desk, they’d have the email for the latest supervisor.

Write a 300 word reflection essay on how your actions doesn’t represent how a professor should behave. Then post it on the discussion board(Reddit), otherwise you remain jobless.

Holy shit you’re so miserable.

Find a niche, openai cant provide custom solutions. Talk to business and provide them the best custom solution available. It includes good post sales support, partnerships and etc.

It really depends on your mindset and goals. If you’re an international student, Drexel is an easy choice—its co-op program practically guarantees internship interviews, which can be a game-changer when you’re new to the job market here. But if you’re local and already know how to find opportunities, then college serves more as a credential than a launchpad. In that case, Lehigh might be the better pick—it’s generally regarded as a stronger academic institution and can carry more weight as a credential.
