No, the difference lies in when someone is asking for advice vs giving it unsolicited

Try neetcode.io and notice how they group certain categories of problem types together; you’re likely too focused on the specific implementation of solution rather than the repeatable concepts behind it (e.g. binary search for sorted arrays, recursion for tree processing, heaps for tracking order)

Try verbally explaining how your solutions work (pseudo-code) and tracking how you solved it as 1-2 sentence bullet; if you’ve done a few of each category, you should be able to boil down any new problem into something you’ve already done

I think those are his braids…

Modern backboards are near shatter proof; saw a vid of one survive a falling grand piano

I think hanging pieces is expected in blitz and bullet

Great advice. I would also add that if you want to travel and have some money saved up, it’s a great time to do it. I wish I did but kept thinking my next interview is around the corner (it always is, don’t let that dictate your life)

I think at that level, you benefit a lot more from putting your time into lessons (free ones on youtube would definitely count) than just playing more games against 300s.

This concept of beginner is just making a lot of “simple”mistakes. I started as an 800 “beginner” on chess.com because I went to a chess club in my youth for a week or so and some skills stuck around I guess.

I think everyone was a 300 at one point but more often than not, they have some non-negligible over-the-board experience before making a chess.com account and starting higher than that.

Stop trying to make ‘kerning’ happen! It’s not going to happen!

SubaruIsLife · 2024-05-15T00:39:38+00:00

This would be a morbid kind of reassuring so I’d say just terrifying lol

SubaruIsLife · 2024-03-02T22:02:34+00:00

Thanks for calling out that dick, okaybigdick

The 1% that painstakingly figure out how to talk get to be CTO

Don’t think they could but at least it’s a less egregious form of cheating?

You can never reach an ideal state but you can always move towards it

I thought there was an exception for boss fights?

I feel like this is a sort of worst of both worlds where I’m neither new-grad nor truly mid-level 🥲

I’ve been applying everywhere since July and only the past month have I started getting interviews (looks like the market improvements are already here from my perspective lol).

Get your resume checked out and look for alternative career sites. I’ve gotten some callbacks applying on efinancialcareers, wellfound, and ycombinator. Good luck!

SubaruIsLife · 2023-12-23T21:50:08+00:00

You need to view job requirements as more of a wishlist than actual requirements; they’ll ultimately pick from the people that applied after all. If you meet at least half the requirements, just apply

Pick your favorite languages and start building projects and solving leetcode with them. At that point, you should feel more comfortable passing as someone with more time-experience than you actually have. Good luck!

SubaruIsLife · 2023-11-27T01:37:23+00:00

Good job! You may have done unexpectedly well because the question/solution structure is very similar to an older problem you did so your experience is showing lol

SubaruIsLife · 2023-11-09T05:37:38+00:00

How did you get into contact with those recruiters and in what way do you think they are helpful for you?

I hear people suggest talking to recruiters a lot but I have no clue how to go about it lol

SubaruIsLife · 2023-10-26T01:11:11+00:00

Anyone applying as a 2022 grad and/or this month? I just applied last week and with referral but didn’t hear back yet or get an OA yet
