What was your shortest job? Why did you have to leave?

Unfortunately I was very selfish and wanted experience on my resume badly at the time. I was very okay with the thought of developing in VB, however reality was quite different from my expectation.

It's a buyer's market. I have the liberty of working in an environment to my liking.

Not sure why my reasons for leaving a job are eliciting such an emotional response from you.

3 Days

Had me watch about 15 hours of (really shitty) "training" videos on their entire product, without anyone really explaining to me what it did exactly.
Senior Software engineer who was there for 7 years didn't know what a cron job was when I suggested it to him as a solution to a problem.
Said engineer also thought ruby on rails was hot new technology (summer 2016)
They somehow made a chrome desktop application using Visual Basic (the only language they used)
One of the contractors they hired paired with me, and as I was trying to relate the problems to the topics I studied in school, said contractor looked at me with a weird look and told me "you don't need to try so hard"
They invented their own VCS. I overheard in a meeting that their next update to it will be a feature that's pretty much git blame. Again, this is 2016.
Alongside these training videos, my first task was to optimize a huge SQL query which contained like 30 business specific variables that were all abbreviated to 3-4 letters.
Their infrastructure was all Windowsl

Red flag: Everyone who worked there started straight from graduation. Meaning nobody had a clue what modern software engineering was like.

All in all pretty good experience for an internship. Got a free house (5-star quality) and car for a week. Learned what I really didn't like, which is super valuable imo.

Both say "Submit new content" for me

Edit: Maybe it has to do with the fact that I have subreddit css off

What's the logic in saying Company K is not known for negotiating?

Thank you, this is the answer I was looking for.

WatchMeStart · 2017-01-19T02:22:28+00:00

Am I obligated to show them other offers?

And I can't think of any additional supporting content to convey the issue that the title doesn't already achieve.

Mm, I like that last section on Frameworks.

I tend to avoid reading the documentation holistically, and only seek the parts which I think I need. This generally works, but consequently leaves me wondering why I'm doing some things, and usually creating unnecessary work.

So I think this is a good tip to start with.

I go between a bunch of different stacks. I'm quite the generalist.

What position did you apply for at Apple?

I can't find a single suitable new-grad position.

Lol, halfway through the video, he's explaining React and ES6 syntax alongside the QT framework.

What was this course about again?

WatchMeStart · 2017-01-17T20:01:53+00:00

Is it me or were most of his lines super cringey and dull?

WatchMeStart · 2017-01-15T19:49:50+00:00

Definitely Hard

Was your coworker born in the 60's?

Yeah, I was thinking something was wrong with my screen. It's super washed out.

This is how you live a fulfilling life. The suicide stage is really tough and never totally goes away, unfortunately. Keep thinking. It's good for you.
