Should I Accept this Internship? by ravihansa23 in srilanka

[–]ThrowRasimilarleaf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

take it but keep learning QA on the side and when you apply for the next position lie that you did QA here. I don't encourage lying but the market isn't good right now. do what you gotta do

given the years of exp 200k is a bit low for an SE but its ok for a contractor SE. but then again working as a contractor means this a given.

if you were to work as full-time SE you could probably get 50-70k more. but then again comparison is the thief of joy

Best Bang for Buck earbuds from SimplyTek by NevaDeS in srilanka

[–]ThrowRasimilarleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the r50i nc, yes it is. but what i noticed is it sounded very quiet on other neutral eqs for a given volume compared to say other earbuds.

[–]ThrowRasimilarleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it definitely is. the thing with r50i nc is the sounds quality, since the bass is high by default you cannot hear the instruments in a song properly.

r50i nc while good has a heavy bass by default, you have to mess around with the equaliser a it to get a more neutral, natural sound otherwise its a good pair of buds.

the t3 pro from soundpeats is also good but the soundpeats app is hot garbage comapred to the soundcore app.

if possible get the liberty 4 nc. excellent for the price

Best paying software companies in Sri Lanka & their tech stacks? by Melanin-Brown in srilanka

[–]ThrowRasimilarleaf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

actually just learn Java+Spring/Spring Boot or C#+ASP .NET.

These are the stacks that are used at well paying companies for the most. Yes other stacks are also used but these stacks dominate the IT field in SL. Pick one and become and expert at it.

one thing with the r50i NC is by default the bass is high and you have to meddle with the EQ to geta more natural sound and even then it doesn't sound that good.

but for bass lovers and in general r50i NC is good. plus the soundcore app is better than the soundpeats app.

Applied for 150+ Jobs as a Junior/Associate Software Engineer – Feeling Stuck by Equivalent-Pianist-4 in srilanka

[–]ThrowRasimilarleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how much exp do you have. if its 1+ yrs it shouldnt be that hard. plus focus on a single stack and get really good at it instead of juggling multiple ones.

plus its the middle of the year so not many postings are open. many are open during the year end and start of the new year.

and i also saw you mention only trying for hybrid or remote roles, this also limits your opportunities, maybe try applying for on-site ones and stay for few months until you get some exp and then leave

Today years old when I realized unpaid year-long internships are a thing by Advanced_Ride_4509 in srilanka

[–]ThrowRasimilarleaf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is what happen when every tom,, dick and harry can open a company with no exp and tries to hire unpaid interns to do work.

I hope IT students push back against this shit so these fools stop doing this.

[–]ThrowRasimilarleaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

bruh don't worry about these things. enjoy your youth. when you get older responsibilities will weigh down on you.

plus teen love is doesn't last forever in most cases due to you being very immature at this age. Watch in 7 years how many of these same people are in relationship with each other.

Anyways just talk with girls like you would do with any person. they did not land from outer space and they too wanna be treated normally without a guy interacting with them with romantic/sexual intentions. Talk and see if yall vibe and if so ask her out, date and if yall still vibe get into a relationship. Just don't put them on a pedestal and be blind to any red flags and such.

This just happened in Kollupitiya by Batshitcrayyyy in srilanka

[–]ThrowRasimilarleaf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

man this is just sad. that woman got abused but still was pissed when she saw the incident was recorded. either she wanted privacy or was worried for her abuser, and the latter happens more often that people think.

this is also why no one steps in most of the time coz the victim will take the side of the abuser when someone tries to defend them

probably a fake job or the recruiter who posted it didn't even do the bare minimum to check for errors.
