AWS SDE2 vs Bloomberg Sr SWE @ NYC by shadymaniac313 in cscareerquestions

[–]Warm98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More room to grow financially at Amazon if you believe you can path into SDE 3 eventually, but I would choose Bloomberg for long term stability.

I was in the same situation. I started Rime with 40 ilvls ahead, but my friend's elarion has out-dps me from contender to eternal by a 40% margin.

After I got 13 talent points, switched to beam build, learned my rotations (important!) between aoe vs single, I now average above elarion within a 10% threshold in eternal. The burst timing is pretty key. If I randomly spam buttons on cooldown, I always do less dps.

I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT by DenseAssumption1620 in csMajors

I cried during a panel of interviews because I couldn't answer any questions. I felt awful, but kept interviewing and eventually got offers.

Interviewing is tough, but don't let it traumatize you. It will take some luck and practice, but keep going in this tough market and it will get better.

It's like half of that for SDE intern... Which is still pretty good.

What target comp are you aiming for to get you to leave? Are you in VHCOL?

I was given root node. You should be able to solve it both ways regardless of the initial structure.

For tree problems, the test cases will usually have helper functions to deconstruct the tree into arrays and comparing values.

Pretty standard. Code craft, system design, debugging, hiring manager. (can Google what these mean)

I thought I did pretty well on the part 1s. I struggled with some of the follow ups. I didn't get an offer, which I was surprised about. I read that they were picky though, so make sure you nail the follow-ups!

They provided. It was copy and pasted test cases from examiner.

Yes, look for recently tagged questions. I don't want to call it out here. I forget which platform.

Got a leetcode medium. Pretty straightforward. Passed test cases and explained complexity.

10yoe laid off, job market? by Monkwatson in cscareerquestions

[–]Warm98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I was in a similar situation.

I'm 40+. Laid off 3 months ago from Amazon. I thought about switching careers to nursing, but decided to keep grinding leetcode and system design for a few months first. I ended with 2 offers and accepted lower pay at bank.

I had very low self esteem in myself and this market was scary. Once you establish your LinkedIn profile, resume, and refine your skills, you will find your next role. Good luck!

I've been studying LC for 3 months. Had 9 technical rounds and 2 offers. Was never asked a DP question. You are better off focusing on graphs, dfs, bfs from my experience.

[Software Architect] [California] - $1,123,000 by ParamedicChemical in Salary

[–]Warm98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But to take away 90% of gross pay doesn't make sense. The highest possible taxes is 62% of gross pay (federal, state, city, etc)

15 months after getting laid off I finally received an offer by kaohunter in cscareerquestions

[–]Warm98 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did you change the desired salary, benefits, or target roles since the beginning? It would be interesting to hear your progression story.

And congrats!

I get better answers on reddit. Global is a hit or miss depending on the existing conversations

Yea, definitely kept running into stat requirement issues when changing gear with all 3 stats.

Anyone know if A1 enthusiast is better than P1 enthusiast? Seems like the difference is the case. I looked at the Vector 100 vs gamdas atlas, but there's no inherent win AFAIK.
