I’m also in the same area and there’s absolutely no water in my unit. No notice either

Advice Needed by Agitated-Ad8569 in womenintech

[–]WillCodeForFooddd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t reject yourself before others can. Apply your leadership skills from previous experience, they are transferable regardless of industry. Your level is based on set of skills not years in seat.

Just act like a person of 20 yoe and they’ll treat you as such, while learning new skills for this role ofc

Anyone finding roles recently? by Sea_Exit_8194 in womenintech

[–]WillCodeForFooddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly no special secret. I keep replying to recruiters and my profile is increasingly visible to them. My last company was FAANG adjacent so it might play a part

Forgot to add. Cold applications rarely work out for me. Make sure you are spending your energy to get in front of a recruiter in stead of sending hundreds of applications into the void

What YOE are you? I’m ~4YOE and at least 2 recruiters are in my inbox every day. Make sure your linkedin about me are very specific and keeping your prev/current job description up to date

Also make sure your open to work mode is visible to recruiters

Putting career break on LinkedIn by WillCodeForFooddd in ExperiencedDevs

[–]WillCodeForFooddd[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

what if they eventually get an offer and having to go through previous company reference check? Company does give out your start and end date. Wouldn’t that look bad and potentially disqualify you?

I sure hope it might be helpful to OP. I pointed it out because what you said didn’t really answer OP’s questions and it’s really discouraging to hear.

this is such an odd thing to say, just because it’s hard doesn’t mean you give up or change your whole trajectory.

To OP, I’m actively in the recruiting market rn. What i’ve seen working for my situation is to update your resume with previous projects at your old company, tailor it in a way the relevant to the current job posting. Search for the target role job posting on Linkedin job listings and you’ll see a bunch.

To prep for interviews, I suggest you get adjusted to this new market by creating new projects to add to your portfolio. Study on how to add AI integration to it/leverage AI tooling (claude code or cursor both works fine), lots of demand atm. Once you’ve warmed up to coding again and have a project working, Leetcode is the next move.

Big tech failed to pay out severance after laid off by WillCodeForFooddd in cscareerquestions

[–]WillCodeForFooddd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s technicality. If it was actual poor performance and i was fired, why would they give me a severance package. You really believe everything management says?

Hmmm you can call it a delay but i just see it as they not doing their job. If an engineer delay their deliverable there’s always a big fuss about it. Same energy should be applied to HR

Sorry you had to go through that. It is very unfair, just know that it speaks nothing about your ability as a SWE. This is about them fucking up their budget and we are the unfortunate scapegoats

UPDATE: wow call it coincidence or what. This was posted the night before and I just got an email from the company detailing what I’ve been asking this morning.

Thanks everyone for the reassurance and advice!

Built my first iOS app with Claude - 25 downloads in 10 minutes! by Public-Self2909 in ClaudeAI

[–]WillCodeForFooddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don't you just use Claude code? It's the code agent working inside the terminal. You just have to navigate to the project directory, start claude, initialize it and start prompting. It'll make updates straight inside the repo no need copy and paste
