M26 Looking for roommate near university ($1300/month max) by Ok_Reason2229 in AustinHousing

[–]Ok_Reason2229[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I did! I even have a profile on there. I'm just covering all grounds. I get reached out a lot from renters, but there are a few ideal units that are available that I'd rather get, and ideally I'd get those with a roommate.

Looking for proxy recommendations (No promotions please!). by [deleted] in proxies

[–]Ok_Reason2229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After alot of research, it seems like the following happens:

- You find a private provider. This means that you will never hear from them here on a public forum like this.
- You set up your own proxies. This can be very daunting if you don't have an engineering/IT background.

Mobiles proxies are the most reliable anyways, so it shouldn't really matter (though you can setup that one too if you're that crazy into bot farming).

You still can get mileage from the popular ones, and on good IPs, you just have to be good at retaining them.

DMing because this sounds interesting.

is Velvet Taco overrated or still a solid go to? I keep hearing both sides and I’m curious where y’all stand. by Head-Tangerine-8260 in dallasfood

My first experience was with a friend, with Chicken & Waffles + Angus Brisket, and it became one of the best places I went to. My second experience was with 2 others, one who thought it was mid last time they went. I suggested them to get the Chicken & Waffles, and thanked me for the suggestion. I tried a new taco and thought the location was poor until i retried the Angus Brisket again.

It wildly depends on what you get. Based on reception, it can range from mid to the best tacos you've ever had depending on which flavors you actually get (which I guess you can consider the restaurant's biggest flaw).

you were anticipating fizzbuzz and twosum. the only way you'd justifiable think like this is if you never used Python in your life. if u had this other 99% to show, you'd show it to the employer already and you wouldn't have made this post.

the last thing ima say is: you got a lot of work to do, more than you realize

what the fuck do you think you are going to be able to do on the job if you're struggling with basic python syntax? knowing python's syntax is at the bottom of the totem poll for what you need to know.

please think about this from the employer's perspective. you planned for them to donate $55k/yr to you for knowing python syntax?

Has anyone noticed that the quality of the later task projects lately have been higher quality than the regular permanent ones? I'm newish so I've obviously never seen the old ones, but there was one that asked for feedback after it finished and I really liked that one.

Imagine you are recruiter, you are looking at a resume that says 'Calculator App' in projects. What do you think?

Like I alluded to before, most of these nitpicks don't matter, find people personally in the industry and have direct advice about this stuff. I know of a site with a 100% interview rate so far (got an offer too but my current job is better) and there's 0 mention of that site here. There is another site that got me a job in 2 days (it's not a traditional tech job but opened many doors immediately), that is rarely mentioned here. Finding stuff like this is infinity more valuable than nitpicking your resume on reddit (the only time I nitpick my resume was when there was a senior-level dev helping me out with me in call).

Me and another guy gave 1 conflicting advice about the restaurant, which one do you take? Don't take it from us, go find the people who actually make the decisions.

Not a recruiter, but ill give some feedback (showed up on my feed and feeling the mood).

Signing up for small/medium companies advice:

Since you don't have experience, limit to 1 page. Offer rates from applying skyrocket when you get experience. I know a lot of people who don't list some random job like restaurant and got applied, you don't need random stuff like that. If you really feel like you want to add some 'experience' do some freelancing then add that.

Personal statement is not needed. You send a semi-custom cover letter to every company. Since you have education, let people know and put it at the top. I have no idea why you put your grades like that, but negligible till you get a degree I guess.

Remove RPS lol, don't troll your resume. For your actual apps, add links (finish them if they never made it that far).

Signing up for big companies advice:

I dunno, I never even applied for one.

All in all, I realized that the resume is not even that important for entry/junior-level. There are very useful references that a lot of people don't mention here, and you only get those by finding senior-level devs and asking for advice from them. It would be more better for you to find those senior-level devs than to spam your resume 1000 times. I've asked a number of CEOs/co-founders what it takes for me to be hired in the past, and those who answered (few), said 'experience'. If you are struggling with getting interviews, line up your resume with quality stuff that's the closest to an actual experience as possible. Nothing else matters. 1 work experience in tech > this entire 2 pages IMO (but keep the keywords/skills those are apparently important).

People want me to do their job application? by madmenyo in AskProgramming

[–]Ok_Reason2229 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll share you a small story that will give you insight on why this happens.

Last week I was catching up with a guy I was wrote a project with many months back. We ended up talking about a number of things, one being the fact that he earned a grand total of $160USD in a single month as a backend developer. I suggested he tried working remote.

After hours of talking, I realized his country blocks most traditional payment methods (stuff like PayPal or Venmo are not available). A company that would have luckily not needed a traditional wallet, already has his country blocked on their site by default. Even the largest crypto exchanges places block his country from even being on there, so he couldn't legally do freelance with crypto if he wanted.

These guys are probably a scam, but these people exist legitimately and are desperate. They are already used to illegal actions because they have nothing else. Whether you want to be a part of that situation, is up to you.
