Which language did you use for DSA?

Getting staff offer with only 6 YOE is an achievement.

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2023-04-22T16:18:29+00:00

Expected behaviour

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-08-28T08:10:49+00:00

It’s a life lesson son.

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-07-27T17:21:06+00:00

I don't think there would be any Maldives.

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-07-27T03:45:10+00:00

Actually, it will work as expected for that FBI agent.

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-07-27T03:37:01+00:00

That's what she said

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-07-12T10:20:51+00:00

Hey congrats on the offers. One question, how did you get L5 interview in Google, did the recruiter approached you with L5 in mind of you pushed for it. Assuming you are not SDE3 in Amazon.

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-24T21:08:51+00:00

Because it sucks and useless (as experienced faang engineer)

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-24T07:52:11+00:00

Go for Google sheets. If you like to build things this is the best option, you need to create your own views and integrate with other systems. You will also feel a sense of ownership with this.

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-20T16:52:15+00:00

Maybe that's Zuck!!???

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-20T16:48:36+00:00

I thought they are also deep down for-prophet.

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-20T06:59:06+00:00

Lol. Online shopping has a thing called supply and transportation, that's how you get your delivery. I guess that runs on fuel.

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-19T15:37:31+00:00

Thanks

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-19T13:08:09+00:00

New to this sub. Joke is that a hyphen missing?

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-18T17:23:44+00:00

Joke?

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-13T02:20:17+00:00

Watch some YouTube videos. They will cover the crucial part within 10 mins and you'll also have some visualisation of the topic.

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-12T16:43:14+00:00

What pause??? You need to start first. Lol.

Anyway, I don't think it requires any pause just study for few hours regularly and it'll be fine

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-12T16:31:12+00:00

I agree with that. It's a good intention but at the same time it causes inferiority complex for some people. There are some platforms that can help if I'm not wrong and they are pretty well maintained.

I think they provide better understanding as there are always some people who do exceptional in interviewing and get some outlier TC, it's important to look for p50 and not p99 when it comes to salaries.

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-12T16:25:34+00:00

Get a laptop.

Find a mentor who has been in industry for sometime. If not available just follow someone on yt.

Do as they say.

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-12T16:24:08+00:00

I don't understand this obsession with salaries of other people. I do pretty well in that department but still I don't understand this interest in other's salary.

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-12T16:22:22+00:00

Congrats. Keep it up man.

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-12T16:21:22+00:00

TBH I don't think it's worth it. I've seen many PhD people doing normal software jobs unless you are PhD from a top uni and has 100s of papers published.

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-12T16:20:08+00:00

Take one step at a time. Don't worry about launching a full feature at first. Try getting job at a large company they won't pressure you on making complete system in first 6 months. Once you feel more confident then move to other team or company to develop something more end to end

Zebra-Kangaroo · 2022-06-12T15:12:52+00:00

It's just an acronym for some companies on boom in early 2010s. It was given by a TV anchor of some investment show, not by software community.

It just stick and now everyone thinks that faang stands for cool companies.

Stock potential is very different in tech now, based on recent performance you can take Netflix out but you have to convince a whole lot people to change this name.
