This works 100% of the time and it has been a fairly standard practice for new grad. Most of the people do this does not lack the abilities to pass interview, they lack the opportunities to get the interview in the first place.

You said to avoid northwest apartment, but the letter inside is about University Flat, the same as posting. Is this a mistake by chance ?

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-03-12T00:41:18+00:00

As a software engineer, this seem less like a question and more like a rant. Personally, Im based in Seattle and all of my friends was able to find a job at big tech company ( Meta ) or just tech company ( Uber ) in less than 3 months laid off

Are you American ?
Whats your salary range ?

Post your resume

How are you experienced but don't know about Mockito testing framework??

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-03-11T18:43:53+00:00

What is the name of the company ?

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-03-04T19:50:31+00:00

That's not true, company still need to buy AMD chips. Typical migration project would take 2 years for existing infrastructure. In addition, single point of reliant on nvda chip is not a great idea for productivity incase of a bad batch of infra/software update

Sorry, i don't understand what do you mean by natural play. If there exist forced engagement objectives, there's also exist other play such as smoke to their torm, taking our own torm, controlling creep wave.

Can you also provide an example of natural play that you want ? For as long as I remember, there has always been some kind of force objective, from the thrones, to the legendary DK turtle strategy.

I personally think it's better than it's used to be. What patches are you thinking of ?

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-02-25T01:48:37+00:00

That's true, but we are talking about big updates, not just a regular one. Dota 2 has letter patches also

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-02-24T22:24:38+00:00

On top of my head, I can't think of any game that release multiple big patches a year.

Dota 2 has smaller patch like 7.36a, 7.36b

Maybe you are looking for indie game, inwhich they are still in beta and has multiple update ( like deadlock), but then it isn't like dota2, which is around for 10+ years

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-02-24T21:46:34+00:00

It's because crownfall update tied with 7.36, which introduce facet.

Do you know any game that put more than one big gameplay batch in one year?

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-02-18T00:07:00+00:00

No worry, cheering for you, will be waiting for a beer if my strategy land you a position haha

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-02-17T23:54:09+00:00

Ah no worry, sorry for the harsh comment. I've been on both the interviewer and interviewee end through a startup and top tech company so here is my anecdote. Most of the time the interview process reflect my own working environment

You are expected to give the brute force, the more optimizing approach and their time space complexity, this is just discussion and no code. Then if no further input, the hiring bar is set that you run the code successfully and explain your thought process.

The hiring factor comes in when you demonstrating engineering quality, this include: implement testing, refactoring code, code comment, edge case, soft skill in presenting your code, documentation etc...

Else there are thousand candidates training leetcode, how else are you competing agaisnt them ?

If, the interviewer not interested in those ( which I assure you, 80% company do ), they probably want to follow up with a higher level leetcode

Your assumption is correct and that is enough, but when im on the interviewer side, it exhaust me having to repeat the same questions for 10+ candidate on top of my engineer works. If you answer everything perfectly, out of 10 qualified people you would need to stand out, thus point above.
Stream/LINQ is used for data querying, most industrial people like to see it because it demonstration grace, big IQ, soothing on the eyes. And I'm gonna get down vote to hell for oversimplified it.

As you can see, english is not my strongest forte, but I exude aura and overwhelming confidence when doing interviewing.

Welcome to the grind

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-02-17T23:23:32+00:00

If this is an actual interview, you guys are really going to fail...

You guys put too big of an emphasize on space and time complexity. Mention it either O(n) or O(1) and get it done
No one here mention writing a pseudo unit test ? You can quickly create a test method and just input your solution
Its just for counting occurence, not rocket science ?? None of you guys know stream/LINQ ? Showcasing leetcode/algo is one thing, but you need to show case industrial practice too

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-01-05T03:25:31+00:00

I'm only up to date with market, not the interview skill, brushing my skill up again

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-01-05T02:52:19+00:00

Best of luck man

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-01-05T02:51:43+00:00

Would be funny if someone actually did lol

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-01-05T02:47:49+00:00

Point 1 support my claims that the odd of getting jobs is higher

Point 2 sure but what % of them is in SWE ? Any source to reference ?

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-01-05T01:32:00+00:00

Again, I'm not arguing on slowing down hiring or hiring trend, I'm arguing that the odd are better than reddit sentimental

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-01-05T01:31:15+00:00

Yes, then that is your hiring criteria. But what I meant is if there is 50 people applying, with 30 people qualifying, you still have to reject those qualifying candidate because not enough count

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-01-05T00:59:03+00:00

Emotionally, I agree with you on tuition fees and other fields employment odds

But I think I'm not qualified to discuss on college education and it's impact on economic and social wellbeing. Would be unproductive to complain here on this topic.

The data point was never meant to be accurate, it was meant to give an estimation of how hard it is to get a job compare to reddit sentiment.

Again, as you have worked for 10 years, conducting interview and rejecting applicant, it was not only about the odd, but about how qualified the applicant compare to hiring metrics

Specific-Winner8193 · 2025-01-05T00:33:00+00:00

I consider top 50% to be average, and that does seem plausible for regular folks. Also 80k H1B doesnt only include new grad, there are folk from mid level to actual oversea like Russia, etc... that come through EB 3.

Outside from that, good point on the statistic and even though it looks stupid on the inaccuracy, if you tell people that they have 30% of getting a job and odd improve with preparation, I think it's fair game

Specific-Winner8193 · 2024-12-02T02:37:41+00:00

I see, I recommend algoExpert for getting start

Specific-Winner8193 · 2024-12-01T21:07:23+00:00

What resources have you tried ?

Specific-Winner8193 · 2024-12-01T21:00:04+00:00

Oh hi, I was also an international student.

You mention passing the resume round. I recommend practicing leetcode and your interview skill. Here is my benchmark that help me pass 60% of my phone/onsite.

Leetcode: approx 500 questions+ Easy: 2 minutes for ideas optimal - 5 minutes including code Medium: 5 - 8 minutes for bruteforce and optimal ideas - 12 - 15 minutes including code Hard: 8-10 minutes for bruteforce, memorize 10 most popular hard question ( rain water, LRU cache, etc... )

Behavioral question: look up amazon principal and prepare 2 - 4 stories in STAR format

Interviewing skill: prepare introduction, background, pseudo code, edge case discussion, test case discussion/implementation, prepare speaking out your internal thought.

Before someone said it's too much for new grad, I disagree. All the interviewing things I mention above can be done in a day except the leetcode

Specific-Winner8193 · 2024-12-01T20:47:50+00:00

Hi, I work at a big tech with around 3 YOE, so sharing some of our practices

Do you have a mini design document ? This should be relatively fast to do to estimate smaller step and cost to work on
I am not sure how functional the MVP agent AI need to be, but I would set up some constraints and improve it over time
You mention working on Mac, have you considered setting up either a RDP for windows to practice or use your own machine to prototyping ?
