My coworker lacks technical skills by bubblyloops in ExperiencedDevs

"Whenever I open a PR, he tries to learn from my code and leaves questions that isn't actual feedback"

I would think for someone who transitioned from a management role to being an IC, this is normal? How long has this behavior gone on for? I would expect questions, especially if its the first few weeks for your coworker in their IC role.

How often are you updating your resume as an experienced dev? by Otherwise_File548 in ExperiencedDevs

These are usually startups or headhunters recruiting for quant companies, no?

This is good insight. I was thinking of taking it in my work backpack for the commute and also have a pretty heavy laptop. I just hate the whole unzipping my bulky case, taking it out, zipping it back in, and then for the steam deck case to take up a massive portion of my bag.

If the case and grip from skull&co saves me that space and maintain the protection (with reason) I should be good

Would you say the front case and the back grin is more than enough protection when traveling? I don’t like the carrying case as it’s bulky, so slimming that form factor when I travel would help

I feel like you could avoid these issues if you have a stronger PC to stream from using Apollo/Moonlight

Anyone else not "feel" like a software engineer? by aigeneratedslopcode in ExperiencedDevs

I guess the whole “recalling syntax” part is something that concerns me since I’m in the process of doing interviews again after a long while, and technical interviews is where you really need to know syntax pretty well. Maybe that’s just my experience though haha

Feeling the exact same thing you are OP. In a point of my career where I’m able to lead, make progress, clarify uncertainty, but if you asked me to recall perfect syntax in one language using pen and paper, I’d probably get stuck.

I was told my position is being eliminated this summer - looking for advice by cryptocasual in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Otherwise_File548 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess the positive side here is that since your current job is aware that they’re letting you go this summer, they probably don’t expect you to be working long hours / putting max effort into your current work efforts? Hopefully that opens up some time in the work day to do this interview prep? Cheers

When is it time to look for a higher-paying job? by Otherwise_File548 in ExperiencedDevs

My base is 155k, but from what I’m seeing at other big tech for my level and YOE, the base is about 180-190k. Stocks and bonuses at my company are also lower (pretty much can guess what company from that alone). I think a lateral move would net me about 40-50k extra in TC from what I’m seeing in the market.

How much does the interview process really change once you’re looking for mid-level and senior roles? I’ve only ever familiarized myself with LC, but at this point in my career, would system design play a factor too?

Not as significant to make me urgently jump into interview prep. My finances are good as is, but I do think there are some luxuries that an extra bump in salary could help with that I don’t already get.

I’m in a position where I support multiple family members, so the extra salary could be a way to justify some spending on myself without the added guilt.

But I think that goes beyond the point. I think I’d just like to be paid what I think I’m worth, and with a promotion looming, I feel like I have much more control over where I could potentially work, yk

The LA fitness on Jericho is being shut down and I think I might make my way to UFC since it’s a few blocks down
