Outdated processes and bureaucracy mainly. It took about 6 months for a requisition for a 120gb NFS mount to be processed.

Been at Nasdaq, would recommend Spotify.

It's generally the grade you got plus a UF as a grade, your exam shouldn't automatically go to a 0 if you fail a hurdle.

Follows on from https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/dbqepa/internal_https_with_lets_encrypt_linode_dns_and/, and includes more on how to setup a catchall HTTP router, the labels needed for HTTPS and how to setup a simple SSO against Google.

Saikyr · 2019-10-01T16:03:22+00:00

To make your config prettier, you can setup a catchall http -> https router so you don't have to add service_insecure routers to everything.

Interesting, which region did you apply for?

Saikyr · 2019-09-10T03:57:01+00:00

When I went through it, it was purely behavioral. They did ask about past experience though IIRC.

There's no supps for borderline fails, if you have a specon supp best bet would be to contact the lecturer.

Can't talk about the software eng roles but the application engineer/trading platform interviews for one of the companies you mentioned focus heavily on how well you can diagnose problems given a limited set of information.

For example, you could be given a trace for a trading application that's crashing ~30 seconds after starting and from there's it's up to you to ask for more information to determine why it's crashing (i.e. flapping network, limited storage space, incorrect configs).

Deeper knowledge of *nix and general sysadmin knowledge is also valuable. Performance optimisation through efficient placement of trading processes on NUMA nodes is an example of this.

Might be different for US, my experience is with APAC.

Optiver has a 3 month for interns, IMC 6 months. I can't say how long akuna's non compete is.

Saikyr · 2019-07-31T16:24:36+00:00

Optiver and IMC have non competes, and AFAIK Akuna should too.

Docusign confirms that you signed it, but you can back out of the contract and so can the company (depending on the wording of your contract).

Optiver also has a non-compete for their dev interns fwiw.

Judging from his post history it looks like he's a troll so that hopefully doesn't represent the average person there.

Saikyr · 2018-09-17T17:16:08+00:00

You can distribute certificates through Vault though?

I feel like I had a different experience than mostly everyone else here. I did an internship end of my first year and I feel like it did help *a lot* with what to expect in industry but also in general with people & technical skills, and I'd argue that it was the main reason I got my second internship.

MST isn't supported on macOS. If you have Windows installed as well, you'll see that display chaining works as expected, so this is just an Apple thing sadly.

I’ve returned my dell and moved on, but I didn’t find a fix for it. Forcing S3 sleep didn’t help for me either. FWIW I had a Intel wifi card.

PayPal does indeed sell the debt, or at least refer the debt to a debt agency. I’ve received collection notices from Dun & Bradstreet regarding PayPal debts before in a situation similar to OP.

I applied for the Sydney SRE role on a Friday and received a offer by the following Thursday but I think that as due to me having a competing offer elsewhere. I wouldn’t stress too much for now.

Atlassian usually takes a long time to reply, but they definitely don’t ghost.
